Students must demonstrate proficiency on all CCPOs at a minimal 75 percent level to successfully complete the course. The grade will be determined using the Delaware Tech grading system:
| 92 | – | 100 | = | A |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 83 | – | 91 | = | B |
| 75 | – | 82 | = | C |
| 0 | – | 74 | = | F |
Students should refer to the Student Handbook for information on the Academic Standing Policy, the Academic Integrity Policy, Student Rights and Responsibilities, and other policies relevant to their academic progress.
