Program grades are assigned on the following scale:
i. Pass with High Honors ( Grade 10.00)
To pass with High Honors, you must meet all requirements referenced below, demonstrate a superior level of content mastery, and make exemplary contributions to the program through your engagement and participation. Excellence in both required and “enhanced” participation is also required to earn High Honors.
ii. Pass with Honors ( 9.00 to 9.99)
To pass with Honors, you must meet all requirements referenced below, demonstrate a strong level of content mastery, complete all required participation elements with consistently high-quality contributions, and have a strong level of enhanced participation.
iii. Pass (4.00 to 8.99)
To pass, you must demonstrate mastery of course content, satisfactorily complete all quizzes, exams, and required participation elements, and contribute to enhanced participation.
iv. Fail ( 0-3.99)
Participants will not pass the program and will not be awarded if, in one or more courses, they fail to do one or more of the following:
Complete all module quizzes and the final exam
Demonstrate content mastery on module quizzes and final exams
Satisfactorily complete all required participation elements
Engage in enhanced participation
Participants should expect to spend a significant amount of time completing the modules—and the program—on time. Each module, including the module quiz, must be completed by its stated deadline. If you do not complete a module by the deadline, you must still work through the module materials and complete the module quiz; however, your quiz score will be recorded as a zero for that module.
In calculating your overall quiz average for each course, we will exclude your lowest score. Therefore, if you are unable to complete one module quiz in a course by the deadline, it will not affect your overall grade. Missing more than one quiz deadline per course, however, will adversely affect your course grade and your eligibility for the program credential. All modules and quizzes in program must be completed to be eligible to take the program’s final exam and receive a passing grade for the program.

3. Certificate Programs
Participants should expect to spend a significant amount of time completing the modules—and the program—on time. Each module, including the module quiz, must be completed by its stated deadline.. Additional requirements, such as assessments or team discussions may vary by course. Participants will be assessed based on their performance in the program and internship. No grades are assigned for Certificate programs. Participants will either be evaluated as complete or not complete.
