In order to pass a nursing course, the student must have a TEST average AND overall course average of 73 or greater. The test average includes all tests, quizzes and exams in the course. Additional course assignments are not included in the test average but can supplement the course grade if the test average is above 73. Thus, students with less than a 73 on their test average will receive the test average grade for the course grade.
