Practicum grades are based on satisfactory “Pass” or unsatisfactory “Fail” work.
Accessing grades: Students can access final grades via their Campus Nexus student portal account.
A final grade in any course taken a BSMCON less than a "C" (defined as D or F) is considered failing and the student must repeat the course and successfully complete it.
The following circumstances will result in dismissal from the program:
- Three course failures (grade D or F)
- Two course failures (grade D or F) in the same course
- Two Withdrawals (grade W) in the same course
- Withdrawals (grade W) in more than two semesters or sessions
- Failure to maintain a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or above
Final course grades are truncated.
For example 79.4 = 79; 79.5 = 79; 79.9 = 79
Each course syllabus contains the course requirements and the criteria for determining the theory and/or clinical performance grades.
