Grading Scale

NOVA Online proctored or major assessments are required to maintain compliance with our accreditation standards and the Higher Education Act’s identity verification requirements for online courses. College-wide, proctored or major assessments must prove identity. To accomplish this in online courses, students must show overall passing levels on the proctored or major assessments in order to pass the course.

In this online course, if your average score on all proctored or major assessments is a passing percentage of 72 percent or higher, then your grade will be calculated according to the scale in the table below. Otherwise, a final grade of F will be assigned.

All HIM students are expected to complete this course with a 72% or better. 

Anything below 72% (D) is not passing must be repeated see statement below.

If you are receiving financial aid, course withdrawal or a grade of "F" may impact your status. Please contact the Financial Aid office for further information.

Any student who receives a final grade below a "C" please refer to the HIM Student Handbook.

Your final grade will be based on the following scale.
