Student Grading 

Per traditional vocational education guidelines, final grades for courses include "A" (excellent or professional performance), "B" (good performance), "C" (acceptable performance) and "F" (unacceptable performance).  In addition, a student may receive an "I" (incomplete on assignments/attendance).  When students receive an "I" grade, assignments must be completed during makeup or re-entry in a reasonable length of time or the recorded grade will be changed to an "F" grade.   Grades earned during a re-entered course replace the original course grades. Students may get a progress report at any time by scheduling an administrative or instructor conference.
For recording courses, practical, hands-on assignment averages are weighted to be approximately 40% of the course grade.  Final theory examinations are weighted to be approximately 20-25% of the course grade.   Lowest passing grades on theory assignments vary between 70% - 75%.  Hands-on assignments are graded against "performance objectives" supplied to the students.

Program & Course Certification

Students who complete all course requirements with a passing average will receive a certificate of completion for the course.   Failure to meet financial agreements will delay certification until the matter is resolved.  Students who meet attendance requirements but do not pass will be awarded a letter of attendance for the course.
Students completing all of the requirements for a multiple-course program will receive a program completion certificate for each program so completed.  Students completing the larger programs (i.e. Recording Engineer and Recording Engineer/Producer) will therefore receive more than one program completion certificate.
