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 the entire course with a 72% (C) or better. Anything below 72% is not passing must be repeated (refer to the HIM Student Handbook). 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. Contact your instructor if you require clarification on these policies.
Your final grade will be based on the following scale:
| Grade | Percent |
|---|---|
| A | 92 - 100 |
| B | 82 - 91 |
| C | 72 - 81 |
| D | 62 - 71 |
| F | 0 - 61 |
Any student who receives a final grade below a "C" in any core course must repeat the course and may be subject to suspension from the HIM Program. Extenuating circumstances occasionally might occur which will preclude you from completing the course assignments on the due dates. Please discuss any foreseen problems in advance with your instructor.
