All graded items and final course grades will be calculated using the hundredths decimal place. Only final course grades, at a decimal of 0.50 or higher, will be rounded up to the next highest whole number.
Students must earn passing course scores in all phases of the curriculum to be considered for promotion and graduation. Student progress is monitored regularly by the Professional Standards and Promotions Committee (PSPC). Non passing scores in any phase of the curriculum could result in remediation and possible additional adverse action by the PSPC.
