Instructional Policies
Credits at CVA are determined as follows: one semester hour of credit is awarded for
approximately one clock hour of lecture or for approximately two clock hours of studio work per week through the semester.
Grades
Individual faculty evaluate and assign grades for coursework performed within the structure of their class. Each course has outcome objectives which students are expected to meet. These objectives and grading criteria are outlined in a course syllabus which is given to students during the first week of class. At the end of each semester, students receive a grade for each course.
CVA uses the following guidelines for grading and assigning grade point averages
(GPA). Please note that in this grading system, “C” represents average work, meaning regular attendance, continuing improvement, and successful accomplishment of course objectives.
