College Grading System

Grades are used to describe the student’s level of academic achievement in the course and are reported at the end of each semester or 8-week term (module). The College’s grading system for all courses is as follows:

Nursing
Nursing course work offered at the College uses the grading scale below. 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 theory and/or clinical performance grades.

DMS and RAD

DMS and RAD course work offered at the College uses the grading scale below. In calculating the final course grade, 0.5–0.9 will round up to the next higher numerical grade and 0.1–0.49 will round down to the next lower numerical grade. Each course syllabus contains the course requirements and the criteria for determining the theory and/or clinical performance grades.

A final grade in any course taken at SCHS less than a “C” (defined as D, F) is considered failing and the student must repeat the course and successfully complete it.
