Grading Policy and Student Assessment Policy

In order for a student to enroll a course in our school programs, he/she must be evaluated to be placed in the most appropriate level. As specifically stated in our Admission Policy, every student must take a Level Placement Test, and our admission personnel will record each student's Level Placement Test Result and Evaluation in his/her file: Level Placement Determination Documentation/Level Placement Test Result Evaluation Form/Scoring Summary.

A number of scheduled and pop quizzes will be given during the course, and a Mid-Term Test and Final Test will be given to determine his/her final grades.

Some of the scheduled and pop quizzes are optional, but it is strongly urged that every student participate in those quizzes. Both Mid-Term Test and Final Test are required in all courses to assess a student's overall final grades.
