Grading notes
  • College courses require a minimum of two hours of study outside of class for every hour in class.
  • Lack of time due to activities and responsibilities outside of school cannot be considered as a mitigating factor in the grading process.
  • There are only 168 hours in a week (24 X7) so you'll want to carefully plan your study, work, and social calendar.
  • If you have emergency circumstances (sickness, family crisis, etc) which prevent you from performing at the level of achievement you expect of yourself, please consult with the faculty -- preferably in advance.
