Grading System The assignments submitted by students are graded by instructors assigned to the course. The procedures and methods of grading are explained in detail in each course syllabus. The final grade for each course generally consists of a combination of grades for course assignments and a grade for the Proctored Examination. (Procedures regulating Proctored Examinations are explained in a following section.) World College uses a 4.00 quality point system. The quality of performance in any academic course is reported by a letter grade which is assigned by the instructor of the course. Grades A, B, C and D are passing grades. Each assignment in a course is graded using a numerical grade system of 100 to 0. A weighted average of all grades is calculated to determine an equivalent letter grade, generally applying the following scale: Grade 93 to 100 A - Excellent 86 to 92 B - Good 78 to 85 C - Average 70 to 77 D - Below Average 0 to 69 F - Not Passing Quality Points 4 grade points per credit 3 grade points per credit 2 grade points per credit 1 grade point per credit 0 grade point per credit Academic Standing The grade-point average (GPA) is the basis for determining the scholastic standing of a student. GPA is obtained by dividing the total number of points earned by the total number of semester credit hours attempted. Students are considered to be in good academic standing if they maintain a minimum GPA of 2.00 and complete their courses with a passing grade. Academic Probation Students who fail to maintain the required minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.00 will be placed on academic probation. Removal of this probationary status will occur automatically at the end of each semester when the student’s GPA rises to the required minimum or higher. Academic Dismissal A student on academic probation who fails to attain a GPA of 2.0 for the next two semesters may be subject to academic dismissal. 23 25 Enroll on-line at www.WorldCollege.edu or call (800) 243-6446 today! Academic Reinstatement A student who has been dismissed from World College may petition the Dean of Instruction for reinstatement. As a condition of reinstatement, the Dean may suggest certain remedial steps to be taken by the student. Course work completed at other institutions during this time may be accepted upon re-enrollment at the discretion of the Dean. A petition for reinstatement will be considered after one semester from the time the student was academically dismissed. A student who has been academically dismissed for a second time may be reinstated only under extraordinary circumstances, and then not until two semesters from the time of the second dismissal. Proctored Examinations Students in World College are required to take Proctored Exams throughout the program. Students may arrange to have their examination proctored at the World College office or at another accredited college, university or high school.
