Students’ work is continuously assessed with in-course assessments throughout the semester and with final examinations.

Typically, 50% of a course's marks are allocated for in-course assessments, and 50% for the final examination. The academic department may, with the approval of Academic Affairs in the concerned college, vary this allocation according to the nature of the course.

For subjects with clinical practice, 40% of the total mark is allocated to clinical assignments, skill checks, and clinical evaluations. Midterm theory examinations carry 25%, and final theory examinations carry 35%.

The duration of the final examination is usually two hours. However, the course instructor may vary it according to need.

The Course Instructor will provide the class, at the start of each course, with the following information about the conduct of the course, which the Academic Department Council has approved:

Course Objectives.

1. The course content and schedule for teaching the subjects.
2. The assessment system.
3. The examination dates.
4. The texts and other materials are to be used.
5. The Course Instructor’s office hours.

Suppose the Course Instructor or Examination Supervisor suspects a student of cheating or attempting to cheat during an examination. In that case, they shall remove any item the student is suspected of using. A mark will be recorded on the student’s paper, indicating their current point in the examination. No accusation will be made at this stage, and the student shall be permitted to continue the examination. The Course Instructor or Examination Supervisor must prepare a report of the incident, which includes the student's name and number, the examination subject, the date and time, and a detailed description of the incident. This shall be submitted to the Dean, without delay after the end of the examination, together with the examination paper and any other evidence, such as notes that the student is suspected of using.

The Dean of the College shall report the incident to the Vice Dean for Student Affairs, who chairs the Cheating Incidents Committee, to investigate and interview the Supervising Faculty, the accused student, and witnesses as needed. The student shall be deemed to have failed the course in which they are found guilty of cheating, and an XF grade shall be recorded, while all other registered courses in the same semester of the cheating incident shall receive an F grade.

If a student is found guilty of cheating a second time, they will be expelled from the college, and this will be recorded in their academic record.

All the provisions mentioned above apply to students who are caught cheating, attempting to cheat, or assisting others in cheating.

A student who fails to sit the final examination without good reason shall be considered to have failed the course.

A final examination may be postponed in exceptional circumstances, for example, unavoidable and compelling reasons which prevent the student from attending, such as a death in the family, provided the following conditions are fulfilled:

The student or a person acting on their behalf must submit a written application for postponement to the Department Chairperson, accompanied by the necessary documents, within three days after the examination date. The postponement form must be obtained from the Office of Registration.

Approval must be given by the Course Instructor, Head of Department, and the Dean of the College for each course to be examined.

The Registration Office provides the students with the dates for the postponed examination(s) according to the academic timetable for each semester.

If a postponement is granted, the Course Instructor shall enter the appropriate letter alongside the student’s name on the mark sheet sent to the Registration Office in the College.

The student must sit the postponed examination, and the Course Instructor will submit the result to the Registration Office according to the following timetable:

Not later than the week before the commencement of study for the Spring Semester (Semester 2) for examinations postponed during the Fall Semester (Semester 1).

Not later than the week before the commencement of study for the Fall Semester (Semester 1) of the next academic year, for examinations postponed during the Spring or Summer Semester (Semesters 2 and 3).

The student will be deemed to have failed the course if they do not sit the examination within the specified timetable.

The Course Instructor will announce the final exam results on the banner within three days after the exam date. 

A copy of the spreadsheet containing the entire course result for each semester is kept in the department and at the college's administration.

A student who wishes to appeal the final examination grade awarded for a course at the end of a semester may consult the Course Instructor within three days of the announcement of the result. If they are not satisfied with the Course Instructor’s explanation, they should submit an appeal form to the Dean before the end of the semester.

The Dean will be able to refer the complaint to the Head of the Academic Department Council, who will resolve the matter in accordance with the procedures specified by the College's Academic Affairs Committee. The Committee shall submit its decision to the Registration Office by the last day for late registration in the following semester at the latest.

A student’s performance for each course is evaluated on a four-point scale according to the following criteria:

The student’s grade point average (GPA) is calculated by multiplying the grade point earned for a course by the number of credits allocated to that course.

The semester point average (SPA) is calculated by dividing the student’s total academic grade points for all courses they registered at the beginning of the semester by the total number of course credits.

Example: The Semester GPA of a Level One student with a grade of A in Psychology, D in Nursing Fundamentals, C in English Language, and F in Anatomy is calculated as shown in the table below:

The student’s general accumulation is calculated by dividing the student’s total academic accrual for all courses from the time they first entered the college by the total number of credits allocated to those courses.

The specialized accumulation is calculated by dividing the total academic accrual for all specialization courses that the student registered for at the time of enrollment by the total number of credits allocated to those courses.

The General Point Accumulation achieved at graduation corresponds to the following descriptions of achievement:

Suppose a student’s General Point Accumulation or Semester Point Accumulation is less than 2.0 at the end of any semester. In that case, they will receive a warning and be placed on probation, which will be recorded in their file. If the student does not improve their GPA or semester point accumulation to the required level during the subsequent two semesters following the one in which they received the warning, they will be expelled from the college. The Student Affairs Committee may, in exceptional cases, reinstate a student.

A student will be expelled if/she has a GPA of zero (0) at the end of the first semester of their enrollment in the college. They will be expelled if their general point accumulation is less than 1.0 in any of the first two semesters after their enrollment in the college.

A student who is expected to graduate but is on probation may register again in one or more courses they have already passed to obtain the required average for graduation. This applies only to courses in which they passed with a grade of D.

Students must pass all courses specified in their major sheet with a cumulative General Point Accumulation and Specialized Point Accumulation of not less than 2.0

The total number of credits required for graduation is:

1. Associate Degree in Nursing 77 credits
2. Bachelor’s Degree in Nursing 121 credits
3. Post-basic Bachelor’s Degree in Nursing 61 credits
4. Bachelor’s Degree in School Health Nursing 136 credits

A student who meets all the graduation requirements shall receive a certificate that includes the name of the specialization, the graduation date, and their GPA.

A student who meets the graduation requirements within the expected study period and obtains a GPA of not less than 3.75 is granted an Honors Graduation Certificate, provided that no disciplinary action is being taken against them.
