Academic Grades
The following is the grading system used at Wayne County Community College District:

Grade Points Description/Explanation

A 4.0 Excellent

B 3.0 Above Average

C 2.0 Average

D 1.0 Below Average

E 0.0 Failure to complete course requirements satisfactorily

Academic grades are “A”, “B”, “C”, “D”, and “E”. Pluses and minuses are not given with the grades.

Incomplete Grade

An instructor may give an “I” or “Incomplete” grade for a student during the final two weeks of the semester when the
 student cannot complete the course requirements because of emergency circumstances. Emergency circumstances are
considered situations beyond the control of the student. The criteria to give an “I” grade are as follows:

1). The student must be passing the course.

2). The student must have to complete a project or an exam.

3). The student must have a true emergency, such as emergency surgery.

The instructor and the student complete the “I” form contract and discuss the conditions of the contract. The student must
agree to the conditions of the contract and must sign the contract. The instructor signs the contract, records the grade on the
“Final Grade Report and Permanent Roster,” and turns in a copy of the contract at final checkout.

District policy requires all students who earn an incomplete “I” grade to complete that course by the end of two consecutive
regular semesters after the term in which the “I” grade was given. The student is charged with the responsibility of completing
the course requirements through the instructor who issued the “I” grade.

In the event the student is unable to contact the instructor, the student must immediately contact the appropriate campus
academic administrator for instructions. Failure to complete the course requirements within the two regular consecutive
semester time limit shall result in a grade of “E” replacing the “I” grade. Students should not register a second time for a
course in which they have received an outstanding “I” grade.

“W” Grades

WI Institutional For failure to attend any class during the first four (4) weeks of the semester.
Withdrawal

W Withdrawal Withdrawal by the student during the first half of the semester.

WP Withdrawal Withdrawal by the student doing passing work from the fourth (4 th) week
Passing through the twelfth (12th) week of classes. The add/drop form must be signed by
the instructor.

WF Withdrawal Withdrawal by the student doing failing work from the fourth (4 th) week through
Failing the twelfth (12th) week of classes. The add/drop form must be signed by the
instructor.

XN Non-payment Suppresses grade due to non-payment.

XW Walk-away Walk away status. Attended at least one class during the first third of the
semester and failed to withdraw during the remaining two-thirds of the
semester.

Note:

While neither grades WI, W, WP, nor WF are calculated as part of the official grade point average, they are counted in
determining satisfactory academic progress for students receiving financial aid and continuing eligibility.

It is the policy of the College that the responsibility for dropping a class belongs to the student. Students
may drop the class until the eighth (8th) week of the semester without an instructor signature. From the
ninth (9th) to the twelfth (12 th) week the student must obtain their instructor’s signature on the add/drop
form.
 Change of Grades
There is a process by which faculty can change grades.
Grades are assigned based upon the faculty member’s assessment of student performance in achieving the
competencies identified for the course. In cases where a clerical error was made in recording grades from the
instructor’s records to the college records, the faculty member can initiate a change of grade. Or, if a mistake
in calculation caused a faculty member to assign a grade inconsistent with performance at the time grades were
due, the change of grade process is the mechanism by which the college record can be altered (within one year)
to reflect the instructor’s valid assessment.
While a student can request that the instructor review with him or her, the basis upon which a grade is
awarded, the student should be made to understand that performance in meeting course objectives as judged by
the faculty is, in the final analysis, the basis upon which the grade is awarded. A grade appeal process is
available to the student and is described in a number of college publications.
To the extent that effort, hard work, and improvement contribute to performance of competencies, those
attributes are reinforced through grades as well. However, students at times need to be gently reminded that
effort, improvement, and working hard do not, in and of themselves, merit an “A” grade in a course.
Similarly, the student also needs to understand that the pressures of his/her non-academic commitments
(family, jobs, social, community) do not constitute a valid reason for the instructor to have lower expectations
of some students than of others. At times, students try to do too much and, therefore, cannot devote the time to
academics that is required. Those students may benefit from assistance in planning their academic schedules so
as to meet educational goals while fulfilling personal commitments.

Academic Honesty
The expectations at Wayne County Community College District are that the principles of truth and honesty
will be practiced in all academic matters. Therefore, acts of academic dishonesty, including such activities as
plagiarism or cheating, are regarded by the College as very serious offenses. In the event that cheating,
plagiarism or other forms of academic dishonesty on the part of students are discovered, each incident will be
handled on a individual basis as deemed appropriate by the instructor.

Disclaimer
Due to unforeseen circumstances, the instructor reserves the right to alter the material covered and exam dates.
Multi-Learning Lab (MLL)
The MLL, funded by the U.S. Department of Education, assists students with regularly scheduled tutoring
appointments. Many other students are assisted on a drop-in basis.
The MLL will give presentations to classes upon requests and welcomes instructors to walk students to the lab
to familiarize them with the location.
Tutoring is offered for all courses subject to the availability of a tutor.

ACCESS
The ACCESS program provides supportive services and academic assistance to students enrolled in
vocational, technical and occupational programs and who are handicapped, academically or economically
disadvantaged or who have limited English proficiency.
Such services include educational, career and personal counseling, interpreters, note takers, readers, tutors,
mobility assistance and referral services. Special equipment such as tape recorders, computers, and
telecommunication devices for the deaf and closed-circuit televisions are available to support students with
special needs.
