A student earning a grade of C or above is considered to have passed the course and is eligible to pursue further studies. A failed course mustbe repeated and passed to meet AC graduation requirements. The grade of "P" has no effect on grade point average. In the event a course is repeated, the original grade is replaced with the most current grade earned, The original grade is not included in calculating the cumulative GPA (CGPA) and is noted on the permanent transcript. The "I" grade is counted as credits attempted but not earned and will not count towards the count of students' CGPA. A grade of "incomplete" will be given in classes attempted which are not completed and for which a withdrawal was not granted. No credit is granted for an incomplete, until it is made up for. Students earning a grade of "incomplete" will have a period not to exceed six weeks in which to complete the requirements of the course and receive a letter grade. If the class is not successfully completed within the prescribed time, then the grade of "P" will replace the incomplete. Students receive a "W" if they withdraw from a course after the add/drop period listed in the campus catalog. This grade counts as credits attempted but not earned and will not count toward the count of students' CGPA. VOCATIONAL NURSING PROGRAM GRADING SCALE The Vocational Nursing Program students are graded according to achievement of the objectives in theory and in the clinical setting. Students shall receive grades for textbook homework, other assignments, quizzes, final examinations, and attendance participation. Grading is as follows: F3i , • �' ® v � gs ® °. i��'st:..:<:3,.....,. �i �'�i'm ^��i�s '"�-...,;"„�G"1`� $� z. 1 ' >`� a 2n�w^^ �'a�s ��,�•..x S, +. xa � t -^�- i;. �. r ?.� �. x�`y`�.��x�31 ., e4 "i'*v sr 3 x t a yl`"t„�,.�.x G., 7 txy t��c, . © • 1 © 1 • © • 1 © • 1 1 i 1 Students will receive final grades at the end of each term. Grades are based on students passing all examinations, assignments, quizzes, and clinical evaluations (performance both in skills lab and the clinical settings). The student must earn and maintain a "C" grade in each term according to their current enrolled course. Students meeting clinical objectives shall receive a "Satisfactory" grade. Students unable to meet clinical objectives will receive an "Unsatisfactory" grade and will fail the term, regardless of the grade earned in theory. An "Unsatisfactory" final clinical evaluation will result in dismissal from the program and a grade of "P" for the term, regardless of the grade earned in theory. Hence, students must earn Satisfactory ("S") grade in clinical and a minimum final grade for theory of at least a "C." Students failing theory must repeat the clinical portion regardless if they received a passing grade in the clinical component. REPEATED COURSES Students will only be allowed to repeat courses as required by the college due to academic problems or attendance violations, and only as scheduling permits. Student must obtain a passing grade for failed courses before graduation. Class assignments and retaking of failed courses must occur within the maximum time frame as established for each program, which is 1.5 times the length of the program. Students are permitted to repeat courses under the following conditions, so long as the student still can comply with the Satisfactory Academic Progress requirements: ❖ Students who previously passed a course may only repeat that course one additional time (two total attempts) ❖ Students who have attempted but not passed a course may repeat the course two additional times (three total attempts) 8 The grade received on the last course repeat becomes the final grade and supersedes all other grades for that course. It will replace all other grades for that course in the CGPA calculations. ❖ All final grades are reflected on the official transcript; repeated courses are designated by "R." Students who do not successfully pass a required course after three attempts will be dismissed from the program. ❖ All program -specific grading requirements and restrictions on course repeats stipulated by state regulatory and accrediting bodies or the campus catalog must be followed, ❖ Course repeats are charged at the current course price per the course re -take up to a maximum of $15oo.00 *Vocational Nursing Students: Please see Vocational Nursing Student Handbook SATISTACTORYACADEMIC PROGRESS (SAP) According to federal and state laws and regulations, Advanced College students receiving federal financial aid are required to meet Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP).
