The Scott & White School of Nursing adheres to the University grading scale with one exception. The Scott & White School of Nursing has additional grading policies based on critical components. If the student does not meet the required minimum grade of 75% average on the critical components, the student will not pass the course and will be assigned an F. If the student meets the requirement of 75% average on the critical components, then the course grade will be calculated according to the assignment grading weights, consistent with the University grading scale.
In addition, students should be aware that there is no rounding of grades on assignments or final grades. Students must meet the minimum of 75 percent in each of the critical component areas to be successful in the course. This means that a 74.99 is a failing grade and the student would not meet the criteria for successful completion of the critical component. See the School of Nursing Handbook for more information.
