Grading
Assessment
The class grade will be assigned by the instructor according to the class syllabus.
*The FINAL GRADE will determine whether or not you pass a class. Students must have a minimum grade of "C" or 75 percent in order to pass a class.
Students who are not in class during the final week of classes may not be allowed to take tests or assessments scheduled by the instructor. Students cannot complete the tests or assessments early.
Progress reports
CELCIS students receive reports on their progress from their instructors via eLearning. These progress reports notify the students of the quality of their classroom performance in meeting the curricular goals. Students are rated on their overall performance, attendance, attitude and effort, and progress toward meeting the goals of the courses.
