How your final grade is calculated, what the components mean, and how to use the grade calculator below.
Your final course grade is determined by four weighted components. Each component reflects a different aspect of your nursing education — theory, practice, clinical skill, and professional responsibility.
The minimum passing grade for all nursing courses is 75%. Grades below 75% constitute course failure and may affect your progression in the program.
Use the Grade Calculator at the bottom of this page to estimate your final grade based on your current scores.
| Percentage | Letter Grade | Standing |
|---|---|---|
| 90–100% | A | Excellent |
| 80–89% | B | Satisfactory |
| 75–79% | C | Minimum Passing |
| Below 75% | F | Failing — Course Failure |
A final grade below 75% results in course failure regardless of individual component scores. You must retake the course.
Your final grade is calculated using four components, each with a defined weight:
| Component | Weight | What It Covers |
|---|---|---|
| Examinations & Tests | 40% | Written exams, quizzes, proctored tests |
| Assignments & Assessments | 15% | Homework, care plans, written assignments |
| Clinical, Skills & Simulation | 25% | Skills lab, simulation, hospital clinical |
| Attendance & Professionalism | 20% | Attendance record, punctuality, conduct |
Examinations test your mastery of course content. They include:
This component includes all written and project-based assignments:
Clinical performance is evaluated across three settings:
Clinical Safety Override: Failure to demonstrate clinical safety results in course failure, regardless of other component scores.
Attendance is mandatory in all nursing courses. This component evaluates:
More than 2 absences in a single calendar month results in automatic removal (drop) from the course. Attendance violations cannot be appealed.
Example calculation:
Final Grade: 32.8 + 13.5 + 22.0 + 19.0 = 87.3 — Grade B (Satisfactory)
Final grades are rounded to one decimal place. A grade of 74.9% does not round up to 75%.
