Grading System

The grading system for students accepted to the ADN program varies from the grading system for the College. The grading system will be applied as follows:

  • Grades for general education courses will be determined using the grading system for the College as outlined in the WCC College Catalog.
  • Grades for courses that begin with “NUR” will be determined using the grading scale mandated by The Alabama Community College System.
  • Students in the ADN program are required to obtain a “C” or higher (75 or higher) in all nursing courses in order to progress in the curriculum.
  • Students are required to complete all courses listed in the ADN curriculum with a “C” or higher.
