Grade 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 60 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.
Grade | Points | Percent |
A | 621 pts or more | 90-100 |
B | 552-620 pts | 80-89 |
C | 483-551 pts | 70-79 |
D | 414-482 pts | 60-69 |
F | Below 414 pts | 0-59 |
