    PROGRAMS -> Grading 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.
    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. Both Mid-Term Test and Final Test are required in all courses to assess a student’s overall final grades.
    If a student successfully meets the graduation requirements and completes a course, a Certificate of Completion will be awarded to the student.

    Grading System and Definitions:

    • A (90% to 100%)
    		 : Achievement that is outstanding relative to the level necessary to meet course requirements.
    • B (8% to 89%)
    		: Achievement that is significantly above the level necessary to meet course requirements
    • C (70% to 79%)
    		 : Achievement that meets the course requirements in every aspect.
    • D (60% to 69%)
    		 : Achievement that is below average, but barely passing the course, and barely meets course requirements.
    • F (Below 60%)
    		 : Represents failure and signifies that the course work or a level of achievement is not worthy of anything.
    • W
    		 : Withdrawal before the end of the term.

    Course Completion Requirements:

    1. A student must attain a minimum final letter grade of D- (60% or higher), and must keep 80% or higher cumulative attendance to pass and graduate/complete a course.

    2. A student who did not achieve the minimum final grade of D- (60% or higher) in a course is considered to have failed the course. He/She will be advised by our school academic advisor to discuss methods for passing and graduating/completing the course. (i.e., repeat the course or portions of it)

    3. If a student informs his/her instructor and/or Admissions and Records personnel of possibilities of incompletion of a course, a written agreement must be submitted to his/her instructor. W(Withdrawal before the end of the term) grade will be given to the student, and he/she will not be able to graduate/complete a course.

    4. If a student’s cumulative attendance record does not meet the overall 80% attendance requirement for each course, he/she will be placed on attendance probation, and will not be able to graduate/complete a course.

    5. A student must also be in good financial standing with the school in order to graduate/complete a course.
