The following grading system is used to evaluate a student’s academic ability:
- Examinations are given in all subjects.
- If a student receives an UnSatisfactory Academic Progress Evaluation, it will be reviewed and signed by the student and maintained in the student’s financial file. The Satisfactory Academic Progress Evaluation will reflect if the student’s evaluation will impact the student's eligibility for Financial Aid. The student may request to review their Satisfactory Academic Progress Evaluation from the Financial Services Leader or Future Professional Advisor.
The following grading scale is used for theory progress:
A = 90 – 100% B = 80 – 89% C = 75 – 79% Failing = Below 75%
Practical skills are graded by instructor approved in CourseKey Skill Tracker or Guest Ticket. An approval from an instructor represents a passing grade of 75% or higher. No approval indicates a score of less than 75% and the student has not met minimum satisfactory standards on the practical application. The student is required to continue the practical application until they receive approval from an instructor. Student must make up failed or missed tests and incomplete assignments.
*The school uses a 900-hour and 26 weeks academic year for Title IV purposes.
