Regular attendance is a requirement for getting the most from your education at Pacific. Students must attend 75% of the hours scheduled for any given academic course or a grade of “F” is assigned and the course must be retaken at normal tuition rates. Faculty may establish attendance requirements in excess of 75% with the approval of the Academic Dean. Clinical courses and some academic courses required 100% attendance.
GRADING STANDARDS:
The faculty of Pacific College has adopted the following description of letter grades to supplement the numerical descriptions in the catalog:
A means outstanding achievement. The student has met more than 90% of the course objectives. An A grade is only available for the highest, exemplary accomplishments.
B means average performance. Student has met at least 80% of the course objectives. The student may need some remedial work in order to fully meet the course objectives. Because all course objectives are important in this curriculum, some remediation, either by focused independent study or tutorial, is recommended before proceeding to advanced courses.
C is below average and is awarded for marginally satisfactory performance. Student may proceed in courses for which the course is a prerequisite but remediation is strongly recommended. C should be considered a warning grade. It is the college's observation that C students are at risk of failure on comprehensive and state licensure exams.
Pluses and minuses, with the exception of A+ and C-, may now be used to differentiate between letter grades and are calculated in student GPAs. A+ is not used because the college is on a 4.0 standard with A equal to 4.0. An A is reserved for the highest standards of accomplishment. C- is not used because C is the minimum passing grade in the program, therefore, less than a C indicates a failure to achieve a passing grade and should be awarded an F.
AUTHORIZATION FOR INCOMPLETE GRADE: Any student seeking authorization for an “I” must first present a written petition to the Academic Dean. It is the responsibility of the student to bring pertinent information to the instructor and the Dean and to reach an agreement on the means by which the remaining course requirements will be satisfied. An incomplete shall not be assigned when the only way a student can make up the work would be to attend a major portion of the course when the class is next offered. An ”I” may not be assigned when the student’s GPA is less that 70%. A student receiving an “I” must make up the specified deficiency and receive a grade by the end of the second week of the next semester, or the “I” automatically becomes an “F” on the first day of the third week of the term and the course must be retaken at normal tuition rates. There are no extensions to this policy. It is the student’s responsibility to ascertain that the instructor has delivered the final grade change to the administration before the third week of the term begins.
MAKE-UP EXAMS:
Makeup of a missed examination is subject to approval by the faculty member involved. Make-up fees are applicable. Faculty members are under no obligation to excuse a student from an exam and may assign a failing or lower grade to a missed exam. Students must notify the instructor, at least 72 hours prior, that they will miss an exam and the reason. If excused, midterm and final exams must be made up one week of the exam date. The Administration office may administer these exams. (PCOM Catalog Part 2, pg 19)
