good administrator/teaching coordinator will try to involve everyone in the
discussion and will not allow the most outspoken to talk all the time or the
less capable member to be exposed to ridicule.

GRADING:

A minimum passing grade is 70%. Anything below that level is
treated as a failure. The grade recorded for a course has two parts: Test
Average and Composite Final Grade. The student must have a passing
grade of 70% or better on each test and composite average of 70% or
better in order to pass the course. Only number or percentage grades (not
letter grades) are recorded as the permanent grade.

In the event that a student does not complete all of the required work for a
course by the time of the final exam, the test administer will assign a grade of "I"
(incomplete) to be sent on to the External Studies Division. In such cases, the
student must complete the work and have it to the SIBI External Department
within four weeks of the final test. Failure to do so results in the "I" becoming
an "F" (failure) grade. It is the RESPONSIBILITY OF THE STUDENT to
check with the teacher concerning any late work or incomplete assignments.

If a student fails a course, he must take a different course and complete
it before he will be allowed to re-take the failed course again. In order to
receive a passing grade in any course all work must be completed, even

if it is late. A student may not elect to finish some work and not other
requirements, and still receive a passing grade.

LATE WORK:
A student cannot receive credit for any course without completing all
work, assigned that course, as outlined in the front of each Study Guide.
A student is to turn in every assignment(s) when they are required. The

administrator will collect all work when due and record it in his records.
Work due at the time of the final test is to be turned in and sent to SIBI
with the final test. Work not competed and sent in with the final will be
considered late and is due in our office within two weeks of completion
of the final exam to avoid receiving a failing grade.

Special circumstances will need to be addressed on an individual
basis. (i.e. Death in the family, company business out of town)
A number grade of 89, a "B" will be the highest grade awarded for
any late work. As stated above in grading, if work is not completed
by the established deadline the grade will be changed from an "I"
