The first evaluation will occur no later than the midpoint of the academic year. The SAP evaluations are completed within 7 school business day of the student reaching the evaluation points.
At the end of each evaluation period, the school will determine if the student has maintained at least 80% cumulative attendance since the beginning of the course, which indicates that, given the same attendance rate, the student will graduate within the maximum 125% time frame allowed.
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, the Future Professional Advisor will meet in person with the student, the evaluation will be reviewed and signed by the student acknowledging their unsatisfactory status. The evaluation is 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 academics:
A = 90 – 100% B = 80 – 89% C = 75 – 79% Failing = Below 75%
Practical and clinical work is graded by a signature or instructor verification within the student’s practical clinic tracking system or guest ticket. A signature or instructor verification represents a passing grade which means all elements of the practical grading criteria were met. No signature or verification indicates a failing score which means one or more of the practical grading criteria elements were not met and the student has not met minimum satisfactory standards on the practical application. Students are required to continue and/or repeat the practical application until they receive instructor approval. Students must complete all practical skills and monthly practical requirements through the school’s approved tracking system. A student will be graded based on the progress achieved on the completion of required practical applications and services documented within the practical tracking system. Students must make up failed or missed tests and incomplete assignments.
An academic year consists of 900 clock hours / 26 academic weeks.
