Grade Report
Each student receives a grade report at completion of the
semester. Final semester grades are recorded on the student's
permanent record.
Grade reports of unmarried students under 18 years of age are
mailed to the parents or guardian. Graae reports of other students
are mailed to their home address.
Final Examinations
Final examinations are a most important function within the
academic process. Failure to include a substantive final
examination in the process serves to reflect negatively not only on
the validity of the course, but also on the credibility of the
Institution. Giving final exams earlier than provided for by College
procedure simply reduces the amount of teaching time called for
by academic standard.
Certain courses may call for demonstration of completion of
competency for final projects requiring more than the two hours of
work and, therefore, these projects may serve as afinal. Such
projects must necessarily begin and end before the exam period.
This being the case, the class shall meet during the prescribed
exam period for review, critique or otherwise meaningful activity.
Should there be anecessity to request exception to the final
exam schedule, such exception must be in writing to the
respective chairman.
Evening classes will have final examinations during the last
class meeting.
Afinal examination schedule will be printed in the class ~
at the beginning of each semester. Students are expected 10
attend all final examinations as scheduled. Students who are
unable to attend may receive afailing grade at the discretion of
the instructor.
