At the beginning of each course a syllabus (course overview) is distributed to students for use and retention. Assignments, projects and test scores are recorded by the instructor. The final grade is an average of these scores. An instructor may also consider other factors, such as final examination grade, attendance, class participation, etc. in determining the final grade for the course.
Midterm and final grade reports are issued each semester. Grade reports are accessible via the Student Portal. A student in certain courses or programs may not receive a midterm grade report because the program is shorter than a semester term.
SATISFACTORY ACADEMIC PROGRESS
Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) ensures that students are progressing through their program of study both academically and in a timely manner. To be considered as making satisfactory progress toward an A.S.B. degree, diploma, or certificate, a student must both maintain a minimum cumulative grade point average (CGPA) and completion rate (pace).
EVALUATION PERIODS
For semester based programs of 30 weeks or more, academic progress is evaluated at the end of each semester. For 1 Semester Programs and/or non-semester based programs, academic progress is evaluated at the midpoint of the program and at the scheduled end date.
CUMULATIVE GRADE POINT AVERAGE (CGPA)/ PACE (PROGRAM COMPLETION RATE)
The CGPA measures the quality of a student’s coursework. The CGPA is calculated using the method described earlier under the Sample GPA Calculation heading. For programs with grades awarded only at the end of the program, the CGPA is calculated using the grades earned as of the scheduled midpoint.
Pace measures a student’s progress in completing the program within the Maximum Time Frame. Pace is calculated by dividing the number of credits earned by the number of credits attempted at each evaluation. For programs with grades awarded only at the end of the program, pace is calculated by dividing the number of hours earned by the number of hours scheduled at the evaluation period.
The minimum cumulative grade point average (CGPA) and pace required for maintaining SAP in the various programs offered at DEC are as follows:
