Grades and Successful Completion

The course is operated on a pass/fail basis. Passing the course is achieved by receiving a grade of 70% or greater on each of the five daily exams. Receiving less than 70% on any daily exam constitutes unsatisfactory progress and failure of the course.

The labs are also pass/fail with a pass being the student demonstrating to the instructor the proper use of the instrumentation and safety equipment and the successful assembly of the full size photovoltaic system by the whole class.

A student is allowed to retake an exam, by appointment, to improve a test score. Students with an excused absence may take a make-up exam. A failed student is allowed to retake the course one time.



Placement in a job or a passing grade on any certification exam is not guaranteed nor promised as a result of successful completion of this course.
