Standards of Progress
Attendance, completion of assignments, quiz/exam scores, and satisfactory performance of all skills/tasks contribute to the overall grade. Possible grades include:

(CR) is used to indicate passing with a “C” or higher for non-credit courses. All assignments completed with a score of 70% or higher, a score of 70% or higher on each quiz/exam, and all skills performed satisfactorily.

Additional repeats may be allowed after discussion with a Program Coordinator, and participants may be required to repeat the entire course at an additional expense. Participants may not progress to the next higher level course until a “CR” grade is earned.

Participants will be given an additional opportunity to successfully complete the requirements after instructors provide counseling/remediation. An additional fee may be required for remedial instruction beyond two (2) attempts. Participants that are unsuccessful after four (4) attempts shall be assigned a grade of “NC”. Completion of course requirements must be accomplished during the next offering of the program/course or the grade will be converted as “NC”.
