Coleman College Pharmacy Technician Grading Scales: The Coleman College Pharmacy Technician Program uses the following grading scales for PHRA 1313, PHRA 1449, PHRA 1541, and PHRA 1309: Lecture Lab A = 100 to 90% A = 100 to 90% B = 89 to 80% B = 89 to 80% C = 79 to 70% C = 79 to 75% F = Less than 70% F = Less than 75% ***No D s will be given in this Health Science Program*** Classes with lab are divided into two (2) separate sections: Section 1) classroom and Section 2) lab. The grades from each of these sections (classroom & lab) will be calculated separately. The student must maintain a 70% average on total points achieved in Section 1) classroom and a 75% average on total points achieved in Section 2) lab as well as 75% on the lab finals skills test. The students final course grade will be the average of the lecture and lab sections, providing the student passes EACH INDIVIDUAL SECTION. NOTE: Any student who does not maintain the minimum average in classroom or lab sections will receive a failing grade for the entire course and will be required to take the ENTIRE course over, not the failed section. All PHRA instructors utilize a web-based grade tracking system to record student grades. After a grade has been entered by the instructor, the student will receive an email stating that their grades have been updated. Students will have access to their grades at all times and are expected to regularly check grades for accuracy. Students should check their grades a minimum of 1 to 2 times a week. Any student with a grading discrepancy should contact the instructor as soon as the discrepancy is discovered. When meeting with the instructor, the student must bring the original graded assignment to the meeting.
