Grading Policy

A minimum grade of “C” (75 or above) is required to successfully complete nursing courses.

No rounding of test scores is done (for example, 78.6 is 78.6). Only the final course grade is rounded (0.5 or higher is raised to the next whole number). WCC nursing programs will carry all grade computations within a course (exams, quizzes, comprehensive tests, outside activity grades, etc.) to the hundredths place with no rounding applied to intermediate steps. Final course averages will be rounded to the nearest whole number and the following grading scale applied:

A 90-100 Passing
B 80-89 Passing
C 75-79 Passing
D 60-74 Failing
F 59 and below Failing

The student must achieve a final grade of 75 in the theory component of all nursing courses. In addition, students enrolled in courses containing lab and/or clinical components, must achieve a “satisfactory” evaluation in order to successfully complete the courses. Course grade will reflect the theory grade.
