COLLEGE POLICIES
ACADEMIC INTEGRITY
Myrtle Beach College students are expected to maintain the highest standards of personal and academic honesty and integrity. The college will not tolerate academic dishonesty, plagiarism or cheating on exams. Should a student be found in violation of the academic integrity policy, he or she may be prohibited from taking additional courses and, if dismissed from the college, his or her entire academic record will carry a permanent notation of dismissal for academic dishonesty.
EARNING ACADEMIC CREDIT
Academic credit is earned at Myrtle Beach College by meeting all course requirements for a particular course. This includes requirements such as passing examinations, completing assignments, papers or projects. The successful completion of a course requires a minimum score of 70%. This "70% rule" applies to all assignments, papers, projects, and exams.
A student receiving less than 70% on an examination is encouraged to engage in further study and take a second or, if necessary, subsequent exam. The following grading scale for all examinations.
Less than 70% = Incomplete (I) | 71-80% = C | 81-90% = B | 91-100% = A
Grades are added to a student’s academic record only when a course has been successfully completed with a C or better. To ensure academic integrity, we require that all exams be taken in a secure manner as specified by the college.
In addition to programs of study offered by the college, credit towards an Associate or Bachelor degree can come from a variety of other sources. The college is willing to consider appropriate AP courses that have been successfully completed. A student may also transfer credits earned at accredited colleges, universities, or seminaries for which he or she received a grade of C or better.
We also accept a number of nationally recognized exams such as CLEP, DANTES, NOCTI, Excelsior College, and Thomas Edison College exams. We will consider appropriate programs of study that carry a recommendation for college credit from the American Council on Education or the National College Credit Recommendation Service. Credit may also be granted for work completed through the United Methodist Course of Study and other denominational sponsored programs.
