A = 97% - 100%

A- = 93% - 96%

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.
