All courses have a final examination appropriate to the type of course.
The evaluation in college-level courses is a prime responsibility of the instructor. Such evaluation involves the measurements of achievement against the objectives of the course and the assignment of a grade to denote the student's degree of success. The grade, as submitted by the instructor, shall be considered final and permanent. No grade may be challenged more than one year after the end of the session in which the grade was assigned.
