*For students enrolled in radiography (RAD), numerical grades below 80% (B) in radiography (RAD) and biology (BIO) courses are considered unsatisfactory attainment of course competency. Numerical grades below a 70% (C) are unsatisfactory in all general education courses. In these instances, students will not be allowed to progress in the program.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Test Grades<\/h2>\n
    \n
  • During the course, if a student scores less than 80% (B) on any evaluation instrument, a mandatory counseling session will be scheduled with the instructor and\/or other academic counselor. This session will emphasize strategies for success on future evaluations and will be geared to the retention of the student.<\/li>\n
  • It is the responsibility of any student who decides to drop this course to officially withdraw from the course to avoid a grade of F. Student may be administratively withdrawn as it becomes evident that they cannot meet course objectives due to lack of attendance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Curriculum Progression<\/h2>\n

    Students who achieve a minimum of 80% (B)\u00a0overall competency for\u00a0each<\/em>\u00a0radiography (RAD) course will be eligible to progress in the radiography program. In addition, for radiography (RAD) courses which are comprised of\u00a0both<\/em>\u00a0a class and laboratory component, a minimum of 80% (B)\u00a0must be achieved in\u00a0both<\/em>\u00a0class and laboratory components in order to progress in the radiography (RAD) curriculum. Numerical grades below 80% (B)\u00a0in radiography (RAD) courses are considered unsatisfactory attainment of course competencies and\u00a0will result in termination from the program<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    Course Final Exams<\/h2>\n

    Students who achieve a minimum of 80% (B)\u00a0or higher on each radiography (RAD) course comprehensive\u00a0final exam<\/em>\u00a0will earn a course grade calculated using all evaluative assessments and the comprehensive final exam per the course syllabus. Progression in the curriculum will continue as designed. However, students who make less that 80% (B)\u00a0on any RAD course comprehensive final exam will receive the grade earned,\u00a0but cannot progress in the radiography curriculum<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
