Grading Scale

NOVA Online courses have a requirement for major or proctored assessments to maintain compliance with our accreditation standards and the Higher Education Acts identify verification requirements for online courses. College-wide, major or proctored assessments prove identity so students must show overall passing levels on the proctored assessments in order to pass an online course. In this online course, the average of both major or proctored assessment scores must be a passing percentage (above 60 percent) in order for you to pass the course regardless of your scores on other graded activities. Please contact your instructor if you require any clarification on this proctored exam policy.
