GRADE
Students who believe that a grade has been issued in error must contact the instructor. In the event that a grade is to be changed, the instructor will submit a Change of Grade Form to the Enrollment Management Office.
A semester credit hour is earned by completing 180-minute period of class per week for one semester, which is 16 weeks. The quality points of the grade earned in the course are multiplied by the credit value for each course. The total number of credits for which the student was enrolled divided the sum. The resulting number is the GPA (grade point average). The student’s cumulative grade point average (GPA) is based on the sum of all quality points earned divided by the sum of all quality hours attempted. The College follows a 4.0 grade point system and requires a 2.0 GPA for graduation.
After receipt of a grade, a student has two weeks (fourteen days) to dispute any grade or an “I=Incomplete”. If a student fails to submit the required course work during the grace period, the final grade given is recorded. Any contingent changes after seven days will be determined by the HTA administration. Student is responsible for all fees. Astudent must have a 2.00 (C) average or higher to graduate as an undergraduate student.
The following grades and notations are also used in the grading system of the Bible College: AU Audit: Indicates that the student registered for the class on an audit basis, normally indicates regular attendance in class and participation in discussion although not enrolled for credit. Since no grade is assigned, grade points and hours are not accumulated for courses audited. I Incomplete: Represents a minimum of 70 percent of course work complete and is passing the course at the end of the term. S Satisfactory: Represents successful completion of a course offered on a credit basis U Unsatisfactory: Represents failure to complete a course offered on a no credit basis. Course must be repeated. W Withdrawal Withdrawal from a course.
Grade reports are issued at the end of the semester. In compliance with Federal Public Law 93-380, cited as the Educational Amendments of 1974, Section 438, Protection of the Rights and Privacy of Parents and Students, all reports of grades are mailed to the student at the address indicated on the Admission Application. Errors on the grade report other than grade errors should be reported to the Registrar within two weeks of receiving the grade report. The student’s copy of the grade report will be mailed within three weeks after the completion of the semester.
Graduation honors will be granted to students who attain cumulative grade point averages as listed: Summa Cum Laude, 3.80; Magna Cum Laude, 3.60; Cum Laude, 3.4.
