VA Evaluation Procedures and Required Level of Achievement

VA Evaluations in both attendance and academics will occur when students reach:

The first evaluation will occur no later than the midpoint of the academic year. The VA evaluations are completed within 7 school business days of the student reaching the evaluation points.

The following grading system is used to evaluate a student’s academic ability:

1. Examinations are given in all subjects.
2. VA Evaluations are reviewed and signed by the student and maintained in the student’s financial file. The VA Evaluation will reflect if the student’s evaluation will impact the students eligibility for Financial Aid. The student may request to review their financial aid file from the Financial Services Leader or Director.

The following grading scale is used for theory progress:

A = 90 – 100%          B = 80 – 89%          C = 70 – 79%          Failing = Below 75%

Practical and clinical work is graded by a signature on the student’s practical clinic worksheet or guest ticket. A signature from an instructor represents a passing grade which means all elements of the practical grading criteria were met. No signature indicates a failing score which means one or more of the practical grading criteria elements were not met and the student has not met minimum satisfactory standards on the practical application. Students are required to continue and/or repeat the practical application until they receive a signature from an instructor.

*The school uses a 900-hour academic year for Title IV purposes.
