The student progresses and promotes through the program of study by completing each required
course with at least a minimum final grade of “C”. In nursing courses, minimum final grades of
“C” in theory and satisfactory “S” in nursing skills laboratory and clinical laboratory are
required. The student must meet all requirements of each nursing course in order to progress.
Passing in all university and/or college courses is determined according to the policies of the
respective institution. A final theory grade of “C” is required by BHCLR for all university and
college courses. Academic progress is determined using classroom theory, clinical laboratory,
and nursing skills laboratory grading scales. Classroom theory grading scale is published in the
Academic Information section of the Catalog. Any course grading scale that deviates from the
academic information is published in the specific course syllabus.
