Please note that you must get a passing average across all proctored assessmentms (2 objective, 2 essay) to pass the course, regardless of your scores on the other assignments. This means the total of all assessment grade points must be at least 180 (a low "D") out of a possible 300 points. Completing only the assessments will not earn you enough credit to pass the course.
NOVA Online courses have a requirement for proctored assessments to maintain compliance with our accreditation standards and the Higher Education Act’s identity verification requirements for online courses. College-wide, 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 the four proctored assessment scores must be a passing percentage of 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 assessment policy.
Grades will be determined by the following scale:
| Grade | Points | Percemtage |
|---|---|---|
| A | 900-1000 | 90-100 |
| B | 800-899 | 80-89 |
| C | 700-799 | 70-79 |
| D | 600-699 | 60-69 |
| F | 0-599 | 0-59 |
