Student Guide
Bridgerland Technical College
Grading
Training at the college is learner-centered, also known as competency-based.
This approach allows students to advance in their program as they demonstrate mastery of required skills. Competency is determined by evaluating work completed throughout the course. At the completion of each course, students receive a grade that communicates their level of achievement in accordance with industry, employer, and certification standards.
Competency-based programs assign a grade to each completed course.
For more information about course grades, students may speak with a program instructor or department head, or review the following college policies:
- Policy 615: Grading
- Policy 616: Academic Progress - which is used to measure student academic progress
Historical courses utilize either a final letter grade (A–F) or a final rating (4–0).
