Academic Progress:

The qualitative element used to determine academic progress is a reasonable system of grades as determined by
assigned academic learning. Students are assigned academic learning and a minimum number of practical
experiences. Academic learning is evaluated after each unit of study. Practical assignments are evaluated as
completed and counted toward course completion only when rated as satisfactory or better. The software will report
completion of the practical assignment. Practical assignments are assessed using rubrics. Students must maintain a
70% academic average (combined written and practical). Numerical grades are considered according to the
following scale:

Points Status
90-100 EXCELLENT
80-89 GOOD
70-79 SATISFACTORY
69 and Below UNSATISFACTORY
