GRADING:
Students have access to and should review the Pearson grading calculation method. Students are responsible to
know what their grades are during the course. Please review the gradebook frequently. If a Pearson assignment or
exam in the student’s gradebook says the assignment or exam has not been submitted or has not been entered, it is
then treated as a fact that the student did not do the assignment or exam unless the student has written proof that
they did in fact complete and submit such assignment/exam as outlined in the directions. Make sure your
assignments are submitted well before the due date so you can make sure they are in. All gradebook questions
must be addressed by the student to the lead instructor at midterm and then again during the week before finals.
There will be no changes accepted to the gradebook regarding absent or late/missed assignments or late/missed
exams during finals week. It is the student’s responsibility to know what their grades are and contact the
instructors or their nursing coordinator for a plan to improve.

Grades:
Grades are given for both theory classes and clinical performance of clinical nursing courses.
Students must earn a minimum grade of "C" with a maintained 2.5 GPA or better in all required courses of
the program. Students who fail a theory or clinical course will be dismissed from the nursing program. A
final grade of D or F is considered to be an unsatisfactory grade.
