Academic Requirements
_____________________________________________________
Grading and Evaluation
Each student will be required to pass class tests, as well as to complete homework assignments and/or class projects according to the standards set by the instructors and the INHS Board. Students will also be required to pass a comprehensive written and oral examination.
The following numerical system is used at the INHS to evaluate academic work.
Grade Point Narrative Numerical Equivalent
4.0 Excellent 91% to 100%
3.5 Very Good 86% to 90%
3.0 Good 81% to 85%
2.5 Fair 76% to 80%
2.0 Satisfactory 71% to 75%
1.5 Less than Satisfactory 66% to 70%
1.0 Poor 60% to 65%
0.0 Failure 0% to 59%
An "I" designation indicates that the student received an incomplete for the class. This is a temporary evaluation, not a grade. An instructor may approve a student-initiated request for an incomplete if 80% of the class work has been completed and if, in the instructors judgment, there was good reason why the student could not complete the balance of the required work during the period of enrollment. The student must complete the requirements of the class prior to application for graduation, no later than eight months after the twelve month residency classes end.
A "P" designation indicates the student passes a class with a 3.0 grade or better.
A "W" designation indicates the student withdrew from a class with achievement in the class above the failure level at the time of withdrawal. If a request for withdrawal is not approved a grade consistent with the class requirement will be assigned by the instructor when final grades are submitted.
