Grading System

The final grade for any course is determined by theory grades and lab grades. Theory grades consist of test and quizzes. Lab grades consist of labs, competency-based projects, homework, and any other criteria indicated in the course syllabus. The academic standing of all students is based on the following scale with 4.0 being the maximum grade point possible and 1.7 the minimum passing grade point.

A student who receives a grade of incomplete may reenroll in the program during the 12-month period following the date the student withdrawals and complete those incomplete subjects without payment of additional tuition for the portion of the course or program.
