GRADING AND PROGRESS SYSTEM Satisfactory academic progress is defined as meeting acceptable standards as defined by pre-determined objectives of the institution. These objectives are directly correlated to the performance standards set by 24-7 CLASSROOM. Students are graded by objective written tests based on materials presented in class lectures and required assignments, as well as on the acquisition of practical demonstrable skills. Any assignment not submitted timely or any test missed will be graded zero (0). Students will have one (1) week to make-up the required work or the zero (0) will be included on the student's permanent record. Students are permitted to make-up missed tests and/or assignments during the training program, however, part of the grade will be deducted. The final exam may be retaken after one (1) week with part of the grade deducted. 24-7 CLASSROOM utilizes the following grading system:

Grade
A B C D F

Performance
Excellent Above Average Average Below Average Failure

Grade Point Avg.

4.0 3.0 2.0 1.0 0.0

Percentile
90-100% 80-89% 70-79% 60-69% 0-59%

STATEMENT OF SATISFACTORY ACADEMIC PROGRESS The Elements of Satisfactory Academic Progress are: 1. Students are graded as they complete units of the curriculum. Grades are determined as a compilation of examination scores (written and laboratory/practical) and such other criteria and observations as the school deems appropriate in the training of technical personnel. To maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress, a student must achieve a percentage score of 70% or higher in every module of the course and must have a percentage score of 70% or higher for the overall course. 2. To maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress, a student attending classes on a full time basis has a maximum time frame of 1.5 times the original length of the course in which to complete all graduation requirements.

A student not maintaining Satisfactory Academic Progress at any time during the course period, may be placed on academic probation for one month. At the end of the probationary period, if the student has not corrected the progress deficiencies, the student shall be deemed ineligible to graduate and may be subject to termination at the discretion of the Executive committee. In the case of deficiencies that the executive committee did not deem severe enough for termination, the student will then be obligated to extend his/her course of study according to the time frame described above. In the event that the student has not corrected any deficiencies or met all other requirements for graduation, by the end of the allowable time frame, the student shall be subject to expulsion at the discretion of the Executive committee.
