    On Line Grading:

    Grades will be posted on A-H Connect and updated several times during the tri-semester.   Please check your grade if you have any questions concerning your progress.  When looking at grades remember that if there is NG posted in the grade report, that particular score doesn’t count in there grade average.  It is just a way for me to keep good records on items.  The following grading scale applies:

    A   100%-90%, B     89%-80%, C    79%-70%, D    69%-60%, F    Below 60%
