Is this legal?

Hello all. I have a question. I'm currently enrolled in a nursing program that all unit exams are worth 65%,quizzes 10%, homework is 5% and final is 20% of your grade. In this program if your unit exam average does not equal exactly 75% you do not get your 10% for quizzes. This makes it impossible to pass this level even if one were to make a 100% on their final exam. My question is this. Is it legal to not give you a grade that you have worked for and earned? This just does not seem right.

It's just a question. And I meant per BON laws.

And that is who you should ask.

And/or state and federal regulators who are somehow involved in student loans/grants/scholarships.

How would any of us here really know?

You could ask some attorneys, too.

The BON is not a legislative body and as such does not make or enforce laws. It makes and enforces policy to protect public safety.

Does BON have any input about curriculum? Attendance?

I guess OP could check with the school's accrediting body.

OP - make your studies your top priority. Today it's about grades. In the near future, it will be about the patients' lives you hold in your hand. Then you will appreciate that it was hard to master the material and you will be so very glad you didn't take school lightly. Buckle down and master the information. You are going to need it.
