Grading Policy

CCS operates on a pass/no credit system.

Pass: The student has completed the course requirements in a satisfactory manner for a pre-professional course of study.

No Credit: The student has not satisfactorily completed a sufficient portion of the course requirements to receive credit.

Incomplete: A grade of incomplete may be granted to students who have suffered serious illness during the academic term, resulting in failure to complete all the assignments by the end of the quarter. Documentation from a physician is required and must be attached to the petition for the grade of incomplete.

Evaluation: Student work will be evaluated throughout the semester in the form of group critiques, individual critiques, peer review, and/or written comments.

Completion of Program: All students must pass all courses required to be eligible for the granting of the degree/certificate. Students who do not pass a class will be given an opportunity to present a portfolio to demonstrate course requirements have been met in a satisfactory manner for a pre-professional course of study.

Faculty: If a student is failing they need to be told mid-term and two weeks before semester's end and what they need to do to get credit.

Grades changes must be completed within two years of the course completion.
