No it's not in the handbook and we weren't given a handbook during the orientation process. So from I'm gathering this is completely ok for my school have a grading policy like this

Thanks @Quota ...

So this school can have a grading policy like this that weren't mentioned during the orientation process? I'm sure if myself and so many other students were given this information we wouldn't have committed.

Well I spoke to a friend of mine who's a professor at another college and she said she never heard of a grading policy where you have to average a 78 cumulative exam grade before everything else is added. Then if you don't everything you've done is a zero and it's minus frm the grade you get. So if test grades cumulative is a 77 then they'll minus 12 points for everything else that you've done

Most of the things we're being tested on aren't covered in the class. The professor just use PowerPoints and don't teach at all. You're pretty much responsible for teaching yourself

Wow I'm currently in St. Paul's and it's a complete nightmare ... they have a ****** grading system. You have to get a 78 on ur test grades cumulative wise before they add anything else which they fail to tell students upon admissions. I repeat a 78 cumulative exams with teachers that do not teach you but show u power points and give exams with nothing that they showed you on the PowerPoint bc they don't teach. Now your out of class work only count if your test grades all together averages a 78

So I'm just trying to figure out a way to challenge my schools grading scale. They use a jupiter system and according the schools policy you have to have a cumulative grade of 78 on your exams before they add your out of class works, projects, and other assignments that you work so hard to get done in order to pass the class. Then if u don't get the 78 for ur exams they'll deduct the amount u would've got from your out of class assignments. Now is this fair to anyone? How could I fight this grading policy I'm not sure if this is legal or if this school have the right to grade like this?
