MAKE-UP WORK
Students are responsible for completing all required assignments and examinations by the end of the course.
If the student has not completed all required assignments, they will receive an “Incomplete” grade at the
100% completion date. Students have until 150% of course completion date to submit any remaining
coursework. At the 150% date, no additional assignments are accepted, and the course grade is calculated
based on the scores of all completed coursework.
Instructors will help the student create an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) to support the student complete
the course assignments; only assignments approved for the course are accepted for credit.
ECPP COURSEWORK
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES will any Asher College staff or the ECPP Computer Lab monitor provide
tutoring or address any questions regarding the Adult Education course materials from the ATB students.
METHOD OF CALCULATING PROGRAM GRADE POINT AVERAGE (GPA):
Asher College uses Quarter Credit Hours (QCH) by course to create a weighted cumulative program GPA. For
example, Typing Fundamentals (2.0 QCH) will not carry the same weight as Medical Terminology (5.5 QCH). A
student must have a 2.0 (70%) cumulative GPA to graduate.
