To earn credit for the course, you need to earn a letter grade of C (2.00 out of 4.00 scale) or better anyway, so you can technically fail with a C- at 1.99 or lower. As far as I know, if you fail the capstone you fail it like any other course... it goes on your transcript and can you register to take it again when you're ready, assuming you still meet the minimum required GPA. Of course, if you don't earn credit it may not apply against your GPA. You might need to ask advising about that.

Of course, TESU wants you to succeed since it helps their graduation rates. This is why they put all the restrictions in place before you're able to sign up for the capstone (must have a minimum of a 2.0 institutional GPA, at least 100 transcripted credits on file, and completed the bulk of your core/AOS courses). If you've completed your core/AOS courses (and understood the material) and can put in the time and effort required, you shouldn't have too many issues with passing the capstone. The folks here on this forum who've discussed their grades appear to have ended up with A's or high B's on the capstone.

I may be wrong but I think you actually need a minimum of C+.

I verified that grade before posting to be sure I remembered it correctly. As of Jan 2019 at least, you need to earn a letter grade of C or better to earn course credit for the capstone. I pulled that from my capstone syllabus. So unless it has changed since then, that should still be accurate.

Thanks for the detailed explanation

I went back and looked in mine and you're right. Not sure why I had C+ in my head.
