Comprehensive Exams
Students are evaluated three times throughout the culinary associate degree or baking and pastry associate degree to determine proficiency and comprehension of the curriculum. Comprehensive
exams are given after the first block, the third/fourth block, and the sixth or seventh block. Students must pass both written and practical comprehensive exams or progress in the program may be impacted.
The student will be allowed three attempts. Before the third attempt, tutoring is required with an instructor. There are associated costs with each exam. If the student fails the third attempt, it is possible
he or she will be made to retake the whole quarter. The student must pass all comprehensive exams to continue in the program and complete the associate degree. The student will not be allowed to take the fifth or sixth block written and practical comprehensive exams until culinary classes are successfully completed.
