Grades will be rounded per the policy outlined in the RN to BSN Student Handbook
90% - 100% = A
80% - 89% = B
75% - 79% = C
≤74% = F
Withdrew = W
Individual course assignments are recorded in percentages to two decimal points. At the end of the course, the final course grade will be rounded to the nearest whole number following the standard rounding rule, where 0.1 to 0.4 rounds down and 0.5 to 0.9 rounds up.
Example: An overall course grade of ≥89.5% is rounded up to 90% and becomes an “A” for the course and an overall course grade of ≤ 89.44% is rounded to 89% and remains a “B”.
A final grade of 75% or higher must be achieved in order to successfully pass this course.
College policy will dictate the drop date.
Attendance to all classes is expected. The online format for this course is asynchronous. Each module will open on Sunday, which is considered a preview day, but students may post in the discussion threads. Due dates are identified within each assignment. If the due date is not provided, it is Sunday at midnight. Any assignment not submitted by the due date will be counted as an absence. 10% will be deducted from the final course grade for each absence beyond two, unless previous arrangements were made with the faculty in writing. If an exam is missed, it may be made up at the discretion of the instructor. However, an automatic 10- point deduction will be applied to the exam grade.
