Grade Rounding Addendum

Below are updates to the Grade Rounding policy, effective with terms after August 1, 2013.

At West Coast University, scores are not rounded to the whole number until the end of the term.  All student assignments, quizzes, and examinations will be rounded to the first decimal point. At the end of the terms final course grades will be rounded to the nearest whole point.

*For programs that use the exam average to determine whether other course assignments are included in the final scoring (e.g., Nursing), the end-of-term exam average may be rounded (using the above rules) to make that determination.

Examples are provided below:

Individual Assignment Grades

81 = 81

76.579 = 76.5

92.445 = 92.4

End of Term Grades

83.2 = 83

89.7 = 90

75.4 = 75
