Woodmont College is a degree-granting institution, licensed through the Florida Department of Education Commission for Independent Education. The college offers all coursework via online offerings. Students log in to the college’s Learning Management System regularly to perform learning activities including watching videos, reading online resources, textbook reading, and interactive assignments. Regular contact with course instructors takes place via web meeting, email, and phone.
All courses offered at Woodmont College are taught in English. Some Judaic Studies courses above a 200 level require a degree of comfort with reading and understanding basic Hebrew. Students studying towards a degree in Judaic Studies must take a placement exam which will assess their knowledge of Hebrew and Judaic textual skill level. Some students will be required to take Hebrew I and II in order to enroll in higher level Judaic Courses.
The first number indicates the grade level for the course and the last number indicates which semester one can expect the course to be offered. Courses that are part of a sequence usually have a 1 or a 2 as the third number and courses that are not part of a sequence often have a 0 to indicate that they may be offered equally between semesters. The second number identifies that course. Sequences generally have the same middle number but different end numbers. Those with higher middle numbers often indicate electives.
Woodmont College uses the following grading scale:
A | 94-100 | 4.0 | Exceptional work |
A- | 90-93 | 3.7 | Excellent |
B+ | 87-89 | 3.5 | Very good |
B | 83-86 | 3.0 | Meets expectations |
B- | 80-82 | 2.7 | Average |
C+ | 77-79 | 2.5 | Average |
C | 70-76 | 2.0 | Average |
D+ | 67-69 | 1.3 | Must retake course |
D | 63-66 | 1.0 | Must retake course |
D- | 60-62 | 0.7 | Must retake course |
F | Below 60 | 0.0 | Failing |
Students earning below a C must retake the class. If a student retakes a class, the full tuition will be assessed. All assignments are graded using standard grading rubrics.
Instructors have the option to modify the Woodmont College Assignment Submission policy. If an instructor selects to modify the Woodmont College Assignment Submission policy, the instructor is required to inform students of the policy during the first week of class. The student late work policy of the instructor should be followed in all cases. This default late work policy is as follows:
Faculty and staff of Woodmont College realize that emergencies do occur. If a student knows that he/she will be unable to complete an assignment by the due date, he/she is to contact the instructor PRIOR to the due date. Early contact is best, as plans can be made to keep the student from falling behind, and ensure the highest possible grade. Without a prior emailed extension from the instructor, late work will be accepted up to one week after the due date for partial credit.
Students have the opportunity to petition to receive an incomplete grade if they are unable to complete course assignments by the end of the semester. To petition, students and faculty members review the assignments that are outstanding and the last date the student would be allowed to submit the assignments. The faculty member and student sign the Incomplete Grade Form (Appendix B) stating the details and the faculty member submits the form to the Registrar. Incomplete grades should be given only if students have a chance to complete the work within two weeks of the course end date. If work is not submitted two weeks after the end of the semester, then the teacher must contact the student to work out a plan for completing the work. All work must be submitted by the end of the following semester. Failure to do so changes the Incomplete to a Failing grade.
