Academic Policies

GRADING SYSTEM

The following grade indicators are used to measure academic performance: P=Pass F=Fail I=Incomplete To pass a course students must complete all assignments and earn a passing average on all tests and quizzes. Students must earn a P in all courses to complete the program. A grade of 70% or greater is considered passing. Students who fail to maintain a 70% average may be placed on academic probation.

MAKE-UP WORK AND INCOMPLETE GRADES

Students are required to complete all assignments, exams, and any other work in each class. If class or work is missed, the student must make arrangements with the instructor of the course to complete work to the instructor’s satisfaction; this may include additional outside make-up work and one-on-one instructor tutorials ($50-$60 per hour). An incomplete may be granted in certain circumstances at the discretion of the course instructor. In the event of an Incomplete, students have six months from the date the grade is issued to complete the assignments. After that period the Director will decide whether to accept the work or require additional hours of instructor tutorials.

SATISFACTORY ACADEMIC PROGRESS

If a student attends all classes, receives a “P” average on all quizzes, assignments, and exams, and participates in all aspects of each class, he or she will be in good academic standing. Progress in each class is reported each semester. If a student receives an “F” average in any course, he or she will be required to complete the tutorials and coursework necessary to master the material necessary for a “P” average.
