Bellin College grade reports will be available for student self-service access through the student information system at the end each semester/session/term. This occurs approximately 10 working days after the last day of the semester/session/term.
All final clinical evaluations will be retained in the student’s individual portfolio, for student achievement tracking purposed, for a period of five years.
Graded Exams / Assignments
Assignments and exams are to be completed by the defined due dates. Extenuating circumstances will be considered by faculty on an individual basis when faculty are consulted prior to the due date. If prior approval is not secured, points will be deducted from the final grade for late exams or assignments. Exams / assignments will be graded as normal. Points are then deducted as outlined below to determine the final grade:
Exams completed / assignments submitted:
- 0 to < 24 hours late – 4 percentage points
- 24 to < 48 hours late – 8 percentage points
- 48 to < 72 hours late – 16 percentage points
- > 72 hours late – score grade of “0”
Grades for exams / assignments submitted as points will be adjusted to align with the percentages listed above.
Example:
An assignment has a maximum of 20 points and is graded as 18 points (90%). The assignment is submitted 16 hours late without prior approval. The final grade is decreased by 4 percentage points = 86%. 86% of 20 = 2.8 points so the final grade is 17.2 points.
Pass / Fail Courses
Assignments within a Pass/Fail are to be submitted on time as well. If prior approval is not secured, students are first counseled on the expectation for complete and timely assignments. Continuing issues with incomplete or late submissions may result in disciplinary action and/or failure of a pass/fail course.
Extenuating circumstances will be handled by faculty on an individual basis.
