All didactic course grades will be predominantly determined by examinations, quizzes, written papers, and attendance. Each Instructor maintains his/her own grade book and submits those grades to the Program Director at the end of each semester. Clinical Grades are determined by the following: 60% on competencies 20% on technologist review 20% on written papers, projects and presentations A = 97% - 100% A- = 93% - 96% B+ = 89% - 92% B = 85% - 88% B- = 81% - 84% C+ = 77% - 80% C = 74% - 76% C- = 70% - 73% D = 67% - 69% D- = 65% - 66% F = 64% AND BELOW You are allowed to miss only one didactic or clinical class per semester.  3% of your grade will be deducted for each additional missed class(es) unless approved by the Program Director. Students must maintain an 85% (3.0) in each class.
