Grading Scale

All lecture courses in the Vera Z. Dwyer College of Health Sciences utilize the following grading scale. An attainment of at least a C, or 73%, is required to successfully pass a lecture or clinical course. Grades will not be rounded in lecture courses and extra credit is not allowed. For example, a grade of 72.9% is not rounded to 73% and results in a course failure. Likewise, a score of 89.9% is a B+ and not rounded to 90%. Failure to receive a final grade of “C” will require the student to retake the course.
