Grading Policy:

CARNEGIE UNITS EARNED IN A NON-TRADITIONAL SETTING (Aiken Virtual, Graduation Alliance, etc)

Grades earned in a non-traditional setting during the semester are “progress grades” and will be finalized at the end of each semester. Grades are not finalized each grading period; they are on-going. These grades will be weighted using the following formula:

Assignments, assessments, projects (AAP)= 80%

Semester final = 20%

In all AVP courses, weighting within the AAP category will vary by item. Please check the course gradebook for specific weighted values.
