Exams and Grading Policies
Comprehensive Exam Guidelines
The qualitative element used to determine academic progress is a reasonable system of grades as determined by assigned academic(qualitative) learning. Students are assigned both academic(written exams) and several practical evaluations. Academic learning is evaluated during each unit of study using class quizzes, written exams, and practical tests. Practical skills are assessed according to course rubrics adopted by the school and provided to students. Students must maintain a grade average of 75% to maintain satisfactory academic progress. Students may make up for failed or missed tests and incomplete assignments following the school’s published policy for scheduling and grading make-up work, Incompletes, and repetitions. The combined average of all practical and written examinations determines a student’s grade point average.
