Credit by Exam The credit by exam policy is not applicable to diploma level students. Students may transfer credits via the following nationally recognized college-equivalency examinations: College Level Examination Program (CLEP) DSST Subject Standardized Tests Below is the process for evaluation of examinations: Students must request an official copy of their result report be sent to the Minimum scores must be achieved for any exam to receive CLEP Examinations approved for transfer: Exam Title Minimum Passing Score College Composition 50 Introductory Psychology 50 Human Growth & Development 50 Introductory Sociology 50 Calculus 50 College Algebra 50 DSST Examinations approved for transfer: Exam Title Minimum Passing Score Principles of Statistics 400 Lifespan Development Psychology 400 Fundamentals of College Algebra 400 Principles of Advanced English Composition 400 The transferability of credits or credentials you earn at the college is at the complete discretion of an institution to which you may seek to transfer. Acceptance of the degree, diploma, or certificate you earn in the educational program is also at the complete discretion of the institution to which you may seek to transfer. If the degree, diploma, or certificate that you earn at this institution are not accepted at the institution to which you seek to transfer, you may be required to repeat some or all of your coursework at that institution. For this reason, you should make certain that your attendance at this school will meet your educational goals. This may include contacting an institution to which you may seek to transfer after attending the college to determine if your degree, diploma or certificate will transfer. A note on Regional vs National accreditation: You may encounter schools, employers, or other entities with policies relating to their acceptance of credits / credentials earned at schools labeled as “regionally accredited” vs. “nationally accredited”. The “regional” and “national” labels were used for many years until, in 2019, the US Department of Education removed them, effectively making all approved accrediting agencies “national” (i.e. unrestricted to certain geographic regions). Unfortunately, some schools, employers, and other entities still have policies based on these outdated categories. It is important to understand that while the acceptance of credits / credentials is always up to the receiving entity, the use of “regional accreditation” and “national accreditation” are no longer valid on their own. Specific accrediting agencies should be identified by any entity using the regional/national distinction as a criteria for accepting or not accepting credits or credentials. Attendance is required of each student and is necessary for the successful completion of each program of study. Attendance records are reported daily for each class. Absences are reported regardless of reason. Any student not in attendance for 14 consecutive calendar days (excluding scheduled breaks and holidays) may be withdrawn from the College. Individual programs may have additional requirements. Add/Drop Period The College allows applicants and enrolled students in degree programs to enroll in a program or add or drop courses within the first seven (7) calendar days of the beginning of a term or semester. Students must submit their request to add or drop a course or courses to their Student Persistence Specialist or Admission Representative on or before the last day of the add/drop period. All requests to add must be approved by the campus Program Director or Academic Dean. Students enrolling in the Medical Assistant Program must complete all enrollment requirements, including orientation, prior to participation in the program’s first lab session. For schedules where the first lab session is on Day 1, the enrollment deadline is the first day of the program, prior to the start of the lab session. For program schedules where the first lab session is on Day 2, students may enroll and complete orientation no later than the second day of the program, prior to the start of the lab session, and must attend the first lab session on the second day. Attendance at the first scheduled lab session is mandatory. Students who do not attend the first lab day will not be permitted to continue in the program and may be required to re-enroll in a future cohort. There is no add/drop period for Vocational/Practical nursing programs or individual course enrollments. Allied Health Diploma Programs Termination will result when a student’s total time absent from the program becomes more than 20% of the expected program length. In other words, termination from the program will occur when a student is unable to attend at least 80% of the expected program length. School Discretion: Students may be dismissed from class for a day, or longer, if the student’s continued presence is determined to be either disruptive (e.g. due to a violation of the Student Code of Conduct) or a serious health risk to others present. Such determination can be made by an Instructor, Program Director, and/or a Supervisor or Preceptors at one of the school’s Clinical or Externship sites. Absences due to such a determination will be recorded and will count towards the student’s attendance record. Clinical Rotations in Pre-Licensure Nursing Programs Clinical rotations occur throughout the program while the didactic portion is being taught. Specific assignments & locations are provided to students prior to the rotations beginning. Length of shifts & sites of clinical rotations vary and include applicable meal breaks; there are required morning, afternoon, evening, & weekend clinical experiences that may change with limited notice. Students are responsible to have dependable transportation to meet the demands of clinical rotations. Please refer to the nursing handbook & program calendars provided on the first day of class for specific guidelines. Please note that clinical assignments are based on educational criteria, not carpooling or other considerations; it is the student’s responsibility to have reliable transportation to attend all clinical assignments. Practical Nursing (PN) Program Class attendance is critical to student academic success. Attendance is an important aspect of professionalism and is essential to mastering the theory and skills required to achieve competency as a licensed nurse. Good attendance is defined as completing graded activities in an asynchronous learning environment and as being physically present and mentally alert during lecture, group activities, skills practice, simulation, and clinical experience. Arriving late or leaving early on a regular basis can result in attendance difficulties, and excessive absenteeism can be grounds for dismissal from the program. The Practical Nursing (PN) Program consists of three (3) Semester, and students are required to make up any and all clinical absences in their current semester before starting the next semester. Due to the complexities involved in scheduling off-campus clinical instruction, the College cannot guarantee a student’s ability to make up such “clinical absences”. There are no excused absences in the program. Online Asynchronous Education in the PN Program (Does not apply to live/synchronous online education) Students beginning a program for the first time by taking a single online course will have their program enrollment cancelled or be withdrawn if they do not participate via Substantial Interaction in that particular course within the first 7 calendar days after the program or course start date. Students beginning a diploma or degree program for the first time by taking multiple online courses, and who successfully participate via Substantial Interaction in some courses but fail to participate in others within the first 7 calendar days after the program or course start date, shall be withdrawn from those courses in which they failed to participate while remaining enrolled in those courses in which they successfully participated. Note that this could lead to a change in financial aid due to reduced credit load. Absence in online asynchronous courses is defined as not completing graded assignments. If for any reason a student has a personal circumstance that will likely limit online participation, they must notify the Instructor and the Associate Dean/Program Director of Online Academics or the PN Program Director to discuss their options. A student taking an online asynchronous course or a blended course (online and on ground) who fails to significantly participate in courses, as evidenced by online assignment completion and on ground course attendance during the first seven (7) calendar days of the program will be canceled from the course. Residential (On Ground) Attendance Policy Classroom Attendance Students are expected to attend all scheduled on-campus classroom sessions. There are no excused absences in the program and missed work must be made up. Students must notify the instructor in advance of an anticipated or unanticipated absence. Students enrolled in the PN program who do not attend at least 80% of the scheduled synchronous (on ground) lecture hours will not pass the course and must retake the course regardless of the grade received. Clinical Experiences (Direct Patient Care) Students attending clinical courses must meet the required hours as defined by the curriculum. Students must notify the instructor in advance of an anticipated or unanticipated absence. Required clinical hours must be made up prior to the end of the course or, if there is a semester break, within one week of the course end date provided that clinical spots are available. Students missing more than one (1) scheduled clinical experience within the same course may not pass the course and may be withdrawn from the program. If a student is absent, all course objectives and course hours must be completed. Laboratory Attendance Students are expected to attend all scheduled on-campus classroom sessions. There are no excused absences in the program and missed work must be made up. Students must notify the instructor in advance of an anticipated absence. Students must notify the instructor in advance of an anticipated or unanticipated absence. Students enrolled in the PN program missing more than one (1) scheduled synchronized laboratory may not pass the course and must retake the course regardless of the grade received. If a student is absent, all course objectives and course hours must be completed. Simulation Attendance Students are expected to attend all scheduled on-campus simulation sessions. There are no excused absences in the program and missed work must be made up. Students must notify the instructor in advance of an anticipated or unanticipated absence. Students enrolled in the PN program missing more than one (1) scheduled synchronized (on ground) simulation experience may not pass the course and must retake the course regardless of the grade received. Late Arrivals Students who arrive late or leave early from an on-campus theory, direct patient care clinical, laboratory, or simulation experience will be marked absent for the time missed and will be required to complete make-up. If a student is late, all course objectives and course hours must be completed. Late Arrival: Student will be allowed one 10-minute grace period for on-campus theory, direct patient care clinical, laboratory, or simulation courses per 8-week session. Overall Attendance Summary On Campus Theory : Maximum of 20% per 8-week course session Clinical: No more than 1 absence per 8-week course session Simulation: No more than 1 absence per 8-week course session Laboratory (Skills) : No more than 1 absence per 8-week course session Note: Absences due to extenuating or emergency situations will be reviewed by the Program Director. The Program Director can determine whether an exception is warranted Online Asynchronous Education (Does not apply to live/synchronous online education) Students beginning a program for the first time by taking a single online course will have their program enrollment cancelled or be withdrawn if they do not participate via Substantial Interaction in that particular course within the first 7 calendar days after the program or course start date. Students beginning a diploma or degree program for the first time by taking multiple online courses, and who successfully participate via Substantial Interaction in some courses but fail to participate in others within the first 7 calendar days after the program or course start date, shall be withdrawn from those courses in which they failed to participate while remaining enrolled in those courses in which they successfully participated. Note that this could lead to a change in financial aid due to reduced credit load. Absence in online asynchronous courses is defined as a lack of participation via Substantial Interaction, which includes uploading required assignments and engaging in the various online functions required for each course. This is in addition to completing any assignments by the assigned due date. If for any reason a student has a personal circumstance that will likely limit online participation, they must notify the Instructor and the Associate Dean/Program Director of Online Academics to discuss their options. Attendance is captured for students attending asynchronous online courses by completing at least one course related activity within the online learning management system. Such interactions include: Submissions to an assignment, quiz or exam Substantial participation (posts or replies) in an introduction or discussion post within the course A submission to an assignment of either the “online” or “external tool” submission type. Submissions of the “external tool” type must have the external tool pass back submission for students via the LTI standard to be considered a qualifying attendance event. Examples of external tool types: MindTap, Connect, ALEKS Allied Health Diploma Programs Termination will result when a student’s total time absent from the program becomes more than 20% of the expected program length. In other words, termination from the program will occur when a student is unable to attend at least 80% of the expected program length. Grading Faculty post grades within 72 business hours of receiving assignments (24 business hours is preferred). Final grades for courses are provided to the Program Director within 3 working days after their completion. The Program Director will ensure that grades are posted in a timely manner. Student Individual Conference Students may request individual conference times with faculty members to review exams/assignments and receive feedback and referrals. Conferences should be scheduled within one week of the exam or assignment. All conferences must be scheduled prior to the end of the course. All faculty will have posted office hours and may be available by appointment. Remediation Please see program-specific remediation policies provided by Faculty after the start of a program Course Completion / Incomplete Grades An Incomplete (I) grade is only intended to be used as an interim course mark. A grade of “I” signifies that not all of the required coursework was completed to allow for a final grade to be determined at the end of a course. An Incomplete (I) grade may be assigned in situations where a student is in good academic standing, completed at least 75% of the course requirements, but has a permissible reason for not completing all requirements prior to grade reporting time. Students who have been granted an Incomplete (I) grade will have seven (7) calendar days from the last day of the course to complete all required coursework. If the student does not submit the required course work within the allotted time, the final course grade will be reverted from an “I” grade to the “F” grade. An Incomplete (I) grade may also be assigned in situations where a student has failed his/her exit exam. Students will be given three (3) weeks from the last day of the Professional Development course to remediate and retake the exit exam. Make Up Work A student is responsible for all work assigned and missed during an absence, and it is the responsibility of the student to contact the faculty member for any available make-up work; in periods of extended absence contact should be attempted prior to the missed classes. A student anticipating an absence, for any reason, should notify the appropriate academic administrator to ensure they are eligible for make-up work. For the nursing programs there are additional criteria, please see the nursing student handbook for further details. Allied Health Diploma Programs: Theory: Make-Up Policy – A student is permitted to attempt only one (1) make-up exam per course. Make-up attempts are only allowed for extenuating circumstances and are only applicable for unit theory exams. The final exam is not part of this policy. It is the responsibility of the student to communicate a request for a make-up exam. Requests should be made in writing via email directly to the course instructor. Lab: Make-up Policy: A student is permitted to attempt only one (1) make-up day per course. Makeup attempts are only allowed for extenuating circumstances. Students are only eligible for one make-up lab day per course if they notify the instructor of their absence. A student who does not call, email or text is ineligible for a make-up lab. The instructor sets the make-up lab day. Covid is treated like any other illness. Late: Assignments may be submitted up to three days after the initial due date. Any assignment submitted late is subject to a 10% per day late penalty. The discussion assignments and week 4 assignments are not included in this policy. Once the module ends, no extensions will be allowed. Standard grading scale applies to all courses/modules except as noted in the program specific grade scales listed below: Grades are earned in each course and recorded on the student’s permanent record. Evaluation of student achievement will be made in relation to the attainment of the specific course objectives. At the beginning of a course, the instructor provides students with a syllabus detailing these objectives and the basis upon which grades are determined. Refer to program pages for additional requirements and information. Students who fail a course may continue if they make satisfactory progress towards graduation. The grade given in a course is the instructor’s evaluation of the student’s performance, achievement, competency, and understanding in the subject as covered in class. Letter grades are assigned as follows: AS Physical Therapist Assistant Required minimum passing grade: 75% BS Nursing Required minimum passing grade for General Education: 75% Required minimum passing grade for Nursing Core: 77% Practical Nursing Diploma Program Required minimum passing grade: 75% Letter Grade Percentages Grade Point A 94-100 4.00 A- 90-93.99 3.70 B+ 87-89.99 3.50 B 84-86.99 3.30 B- 80-83.99 3.00 C+ 77-79.99 2.50 C 75-76.99 2.30 C- 70-74.99 2.00 D+ 67-69.99 1.50 D 64-66.99 1.00 D- 60-63.99 0.70 F 0-59.99 0.00 Medical Assisting Program Courses contain various scoring parameters such as professional development, class participation (e.g. oral Q&A sessions and projects), skills demonstrations, quizzes, and exams. The maximum possible score in each category may differ based on the program or course. At the completion of a course or program the total score earned by a student is divided by the maximum possible score to arrive at the percentage received by that student. This percentage is converted to a letter grade using the scale below: PERCENTAGES GRADE GRADE POINTS 90% & Above A 4.0 80% – 89.99% B 3.0 70% – 79.99% C 2.0 69.99% or below F 0 Pass P * Non-Pass NP * Withdrawal W * At the end of each course, students receive a cumulative grade point average (CGPA) which is the average of the grades for all courses completed in the program. The equivalent grade points from the grading table above are used to calculate the CGPA. For example, if a student completes 3 courses with grades of A, A, and C, the CGPA is calculated as follows: CGPA = (4.0 + 4.0 + 2.0) / 3 = 10/3 = 3.33 Students who are unable to meet classroom requirements with a minimum average grade of 70% (C) or who receive an unsatisfactory performance evaluation in clinical will fail the course & may consequently be withdrawn from the program. Note : *** Not computed in GPA W (Withdrawal) is given when a student attends more than 0% and up to 60% of the course. A “W” counts toward credits attempted but does not impact GPA. When a student is withdrawn after 60% of course completion, the student will be awarded the earned letter grade based on work complete. The awarded grade will count toward credits attempted and does impact GPA. If a student requests and is approved for a LOA to commence during a course or module, the student will receive a “W” grade for that course or module regardless of the percentage of work completed in that course or module. The “W” grade will not be included in credits earned but will be included in credits attempted. Additionally, the “W” grade will not be included in the student’s cumulative GPA but will be included in the student’s Pace of Completion calculation. Courses for which a student receives a grade of “W” due to an approved LOA will not count toward the school’s course retake limit. TC (Transfer Credit) is an indication of a transfer credit allowance. A TC grade has no effect on the GPA but is calculated in the rate of progress (ROP) as both completed and attempted hours. NS (Not Submitted) is indicated when a grade has not been submitted by the instructor. The indication of NS has no effect on the GPA. The College does not award incomplete grades. If a student fails to complete a required segment of a course by the end of the term due to an emergency or mitigating circumstance and believes that with additional time she/he could reasonably pass the course, the student should approach his/her instructor and request the grade of NS (Not Submitted). The decision to grant this request is at the discretion of the Academic Dean/Program Director. When the grade NS is granted, both the student and instructor must agree on provisions for the makeup work. The grade NS cannot extend beyond three weeks following the end of a quarter course or nine weeks following the end of a semester course, except for externship/internship courses. When the work is completed in a satisfactory manner, the instructor will fill out the Official Grade Change Authorization form and the NS grade will be changed to the grade earned. Failure to complete the work will result in failure of the class, at which time the NS will be changed to an F. The F grade will be computed in the GPA. AC (Audit Course) indicates the student has taken a course for non-graded credit. AC is not included in the CGPA. RW (Retake Withdrawal) is given when documented extenuating circumstances cause a student to withdraw family member, death of immediate family member, or active military duty. The student must appeal for this grade. An RW has no effect on GPA. R (Repeat Course) indicates the student has repeated a course for graded credit. An R has no effect on the GPA (refer to Repeat Policy). P (Pass) is not included in the GPA. NP (Non-Pass) is not included in the GPA. Grade Rounding The college does not round grades to the nearest decimal point. Grade Changes Once recorded by the Registrar’s office, no final grade may be changed except to correct the permanent record when an error has been made or as the result of an appeal. When such corrections need to be made, an Official Grade Change Authorization form must be completed and sent to the Registrar’s office. Students may appeal a final grade prior to the end of the subsequent term. Appeals procedures are outlined in this catalog. Grade Point Average A student’s term and cumulative grade point averages (CGPA) are computed on based on all completed courses taken at the College. The CGPA is computed by dividing the weighted cumulative total course grade points accumulated by the total number of credit hours attempted in the program (see Grading System—all grades are calculated into the CGPA except grades with a grade value of ***). Repeating Courses Previous grade(s) from the same courses will not be dropped but will show on the transcripts as a part of the student’s permanent record marked with an “R.” Failing grades will not be calculated into the GPA once the class has been successfully completed. Students will be charged according to the current cost in the tuition section of the catalog. Repeat courses may be eligible for Title IV funding if the student is required to repeat the course for graded credit. Students who wish to repeat a course to improve a passing grade may be able to utilize Title IV funds the first time a course is repeated. For Title IV purposes, pass means any grade higher than an “F.”* Students should contact Financial Services to determine the financial aid eligibility of a repeated course. Courses for which a student receives a grade of “W” due to an approved LOA will not count toward the school’s course retake limit. *This policy does not apply to the Medical Assisting program, for which tuition is not charged for repeating failed courses.
