Grading Scale

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 proctored assessment score must be a passing percentage (at or above 60 percent/60 points) 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.

Your final grade will be based on the following scale.

Grade Points
A 450-500 points
B 400-449 points
C 350-399 points
D 300-349 points
F 0-299 points
