Students are responsible for contacting theiracademic advisor and following through with all advising and registration requirements. It is the student’sresponsibility to inform the academic advisor of the general education courses they are enrolled in at localuniversities. Failure to do so may jeopardize their ability to complete their program within the usual length oftime.Attendance PolicyStudents are expected to attend and be on time for all orientations, classroom, examinations, skills laboratory,and clinical activities. Any student who does not attend a class maintains responsibility for all announcements,directions, handouts, examination reviews, and content explored. There may be individual courses thatrequire class attendance as a condition of meeting course outcomes. (Refer to course syllabi). Studentattendance records are maintained for the purpose of work references and some financial aid programs.Attendance for lab and clinical is mandatory in order for the student to achieve course outcomes. Progressand continuation in the course may be at risk, in the event of an absence and will be considered individually bythe faculty. A student who is absent from a skills laboratory or clinical experience may be required towithdraw from the lab/clinical and related theory course if the student is not able to meet the expected courseoutcomes.There are associated fees with missing orientations and labs.(See policy regarding Institutional Withdrawal Date Due to Non-Attendance.)Grading PolicyThe following grading system is used to determine course achievement:Bellin CollegeMinimum ProgressionRequirementLetter GradeGrade Points PerCreditNumeric Grade EquivalentA 4.0 points 93-100AB 3.5 points 90-92B 3.0 points 85-89BC 2.5 points 82-84C 2.0 points 77-81D 1.0 point 70-76F 0.0 points Below 70Each course is graded in its entirety.
