Grading Scale S= Satisfactory or U = Unsatisfactory
Determination of
Final Grade		 1. The Final Grade will be posted through the school computer system.
2. Evaluations are based on course objectives.
3. Clinical Skills check-offs be performed on campus and at clinical locations.
4. Students will be graded on clinical performance, and procedure cards. Students performance will be evaluated by both preceptors and clinical instructor. Students are expected to perform the following surgical skills correctly: opening sterile supplies, identification of unsterile items, counted brush stroke method hand scrub, Donning of Sterile Attire, Gown and Glove sterile team members, Surgical Case Preparation, Passing of Sharps, Surgical Counting and many more.
Course Policies
Instructor Policies Mid-Term Evaluations will be done before our first day of clinical, students that receive an Unsatisfactory Grade will NOT go to clinical and will be dropped from the course or be allowed to withdraw.

During the first semester of the Surgical Technology Program a "75 EXAM AVERAGE" must be achieved before going to the first clinical location. If a student is not passing the courses of SRGT 1405 and SRGT 1409 with a "75 EXAM AVERAGE" then that student will not be allowed to go to clinical and will be dropped from the program.
Attendance Policy 1. Because poor attendance is a leading reason for termination from a job in all areas of employment, attendance at all scheduled classes is expected.
2.A student who is absent from course activities for more than three (3 ) days may be dropped from the program by the Program Director.
3. Students on campus but not in class are considered absent.
