Grades: Grading Scale

CCCOnline does not currently mandate a specific grade scale. However, each course must have a grade scale posted in the syllabus.

Grade Appeals

Final course grades can only be appealed if the student can substantiate that the grade was arbitrary and capricious on the part of the instructor and/or if the instructor did not follow the course syllabus. Appeals for final course grades MUST be submitted to CCCOnline in writing within 30 days of the last day of the course. Students may use the CCCOnline Complaint form  to submit their request for appeal. Specific information about the criteria for appeals may be found on the Course Grade Appeal Policy page.
