Grading System

The competencies taught in each program offered at E&S Academy will be evaluated using written examinations and skill development tests. The minimal grade for graduation is 75 percent. Students who achieve lower than 75 percent will not be awarded a Certificate of Completion and may be dropped from the program.

Letter Grade Grade Percentage Description A 93 – 100 Excellent B 92 – 87 Above Average C 86 – 75 Average F Failure

INC. Incomplete WD Withdraw WP Withdraw Passing WU Withdraw Unsatisfactory

A student’s Grade Point Average (G.P.A.) is based on the sum of all grades received through testing and divided by the total number of tests.

Incomplete Grades

Incomplete grades are given when a student is unable to complete a course because of illness or other serious problems. An incomplete grade may also be given when, through negligence or procrastination, students fail to turn in work or take examinations. A student who misses a final examination must contact the instructor within twenty-four hours of the examination to arrange for a make-up examination. If the student does not make arrangements to take the missed examinations, then a failure grade will be given. Students who withdraw and are passing the program will be given a WP (withdrew passing). Students who withdraw and are not meeting the minimum grade point average will be given a WU (withdrew unsatisfactory grades).

Probation for Below Average Grades

Students who fail to maintain the minimum grade point average of 75 percent required for graduation will need to enter a probation period. The student will be scheduled for in school instructor-led assistance in accordance with the make-up schedule. Students unable to increase their grade point average may be dismissed from the program. Refunds will be given in accordance with the school’s refund policy.

Student Evaluation Techniques

A test may be administered after each lesson to determine the amount of learning that has taken place. Test scores that are below 75 percent are an indication that the necessary skills for entry into employment were not acquired. Students are required to make-up each individual lesson test if they do not reach the minimum score of a 75 percent. Students should make arrangements for additional practice, independent study or tutoring. Tests will be both cognitive and psychomotor with the psychomotor skills being measured against industry standards. This allows students to keep a record of their progress. Other methods of evaluation may include oral quizzes, skill development tests, hands-on skill evaluation, and individual and group projects.
