I see a lot of different posts talking about grades and wonder what their grading scale is.
My school uses a 10 point scale as well as rounding. So an 89.5 is an A, 79.5 a B, and so on. We also do not have pluses or minuses, which is nice at times but not so nice at others. I'll take it though, especially given the grading scale and the rounding.
In my program (entry level CNL Master's degree) you must maintain a 3.0 at all times or you have to repeat the course you got a C in. There are also certain courses, such as patho, you must get an A or B in to continue, no matter what your cumulative GPA is.
I am in my last semester at HACC and for the nursing program 75% or better is passing. 75-83% is a C. 83-91% is a B. and 92% or better is obviously an A!
^85-92 B, we have the same rating at my school. And clinical is either Pass or Not Pass (they were kind enough to not use the F word), no other designated letter grades. It doesn't help our grade at all if we Pass, but if we get NP we can't move on to the next semester.

This is ours. You also have to have a 79.5% test average to have any other things added to your grades.
