Examination Policies

All course examinations are online, in multiple-choice format, and pass/fail. A passing grade is 85% in accordance with accepted graduate school grading scales.

After completing the exam, you'll receive immediate notification of your pass/fail status, as well as any questions you answered incorrectly.

Please be sure to print the page with your exam results for your records and record them on your tracking sheet. SAA will record your results internally but won't send out an email confirmation of your results.
