Instructors should set up a rubric for each project that describes what is expected from the student, and the grade should be determined by how effective the student was in approaching the goal. The grading in the majority of the Graphic Design and Animation specific modules will be assessed based on projects.
If a student receives a grade below C-, the students must retake the module in order to graduate. Students are required to obtain a grade of C- or better in each of the course modules outside of the General Education Component. If the GPA does not reach the required threshold after two semesters of academic probation, the student may be dismissed from the program. Failure to maintain such standard results in academic probation.Ī student in academic probation can continue to enrol in new modules for two semesters, while the student is strongly encouraged to retake modules in which grades were unsatisfactory.
Students are required to maintain a minimum GPA of 2.0 throughout the course.
