Grading Policy

All students are required to have a minimum passing grade of 70% for each course completed. Grading policies will be clearly detailed in the information provided by the Syllabus prior to first day of classes. Students who do not meet the minimum passing grade of 70% upon completion of a particular course will have the opportunity to retake the course the very next term that it is offered and available (full course tuition will be charged to retake the course at $290 per quarter credit hour). The grade for the failed course will be entered on the student’s transcript and will be calculated with the overall grade point average, omitting the previous grade. When the failed course is a prerequisite for a more advanced course, the student will not be enrolled in the advanced course before successful completion of the prerequisite course.

Assignment, Late Assignment, and Make-Up Policy

All assignments must be completed by the end of the term unless the course syllabus states otherwise. If a student is unable to complete an assignment when due, the student must provide documentation to show that an unusual or extenuating/emergency circumstance (examples including but not limited to:  Family death, medical emergencies, etc.) prevented the student from handing in the assignment as directed. Documentation must be provided, and permission must be obtained from an administrative staff member before the instructor may accept the assignment. The student may make arrangements to provide the assignment(s) within 5 business days, to the instructor when the absence is known in advance.

This may seriously affect the overall grade point average of the course. Students are encouraged to complete all homework, handouts, and other assignments on time, and turn them in as directed by the instructor for each course to avoid a no grade on their assignments.

Grading Appeal

Students may appeal an assignment grade or final grade in a class first by contacting the faculty member in writing. Appeals are only considered under extenuating circumstances for the student. Faculty member will review the written appeal request within 5 business days. Student will be notified in writing regarding appeal decision. Should the student disagree with the decision, they can submit a dispute form, available on the Learning Management System, that is sent to the Director of Education and Director of Academics. The Director of Education and/or Director of Academics will review the appeal request and issue a decision in writing within 10 business days.

Test and Make-Up Policy

All assignments, quizzes, midterms and final must be completed by the end of the quarter. The only exception shall be if the student presents documentation to show unusual or extenuating emergency circumstances to the Director of Education, and the Director of Education finds that such unusual or extenuating circumstance existed, and gives authorization for a test to be made up. It is the student’s responsibility to contact the instructor within two class days of confirmation of the extenuating circumstances to make arrangements to make up the test or exam. Failure to do so will result in a 0 (Zero) grade for that test.

Grading System
The American Denturist College uses the following grading system:
Percentage Grade Points
90-100% A 4
80-89% B 3
70-79% C 2
60-69% D 1
0-59% F 0

The student’s grade point average (GPA) is computed by dividing grade points earned by the number of quarter credit hours attempted.

Proctored Exams

To maintain academic integrity, ADC incorporates proctored exams within each course. Proctoring is completed through an ADC third party provider. Proctored exams require the use of a web camera, Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox, and government issued ID should be available for the verification process.

Our Commitment to Equal Opportunity / Non-Discrimination

Discrimination Policy

The student policies, including admission, of the American Denturist College are directed toward securing and maintaining a student body of competent people without regard to race, religion, color, national origin, sex, age, sexual orientation, marital status, mental or physical challenge (when these do not interfere with successful performance) or other protected classes under applicable local, state and federal law.  In addition, any person unlawfully discriminated against, as described in ORS 345.240, may file a complaint under ORS 659A.820 with the Commissioner of the Bureau of Labor and Industries. Violators will be subject to appropriate disciplinary action.  The school’s policies governing employees will be enforced in situations where instructional staff or other school personnel have been found to have engaged in discriminatory behavior.

Harassment Policy

It is School policy that all students have a right to learn in an environment where the dignity of each individual is respected. For that reason, we expect all students to accomplish their work in a business-like manner with concern for the well-being of the entire school.  Any harassment of students by fellow students or employees is not permitted, regardless of their working relationship or supervisory status. Specifically forbidden is harassment of a sexual, racial, ethnic or religious nature. This includes unwelcome sexual advances, innuendoes and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature that has the purpose or effect of creating an offensive environment. It also includes verbal and physical conduct of a racial, religious or ethnic nature that creates an offensive environment.

Students subjected to any type of harassment, particularly of a sexual, racial, ethnic or religious nature by an employee or student should promptly contact a member of the administrative front office staff listed in the School Catalog.  We encourage students to report complaints to us to informally resolve problems involving harassment. Our ability to resolve these kinds of problems is dependent on your cooperation in reporting incidents that create an offensive or hostile environment for you. In the event a complaint is reported, an investigation will be undertaken immediately. Violators will be subject to appropriate disciplinary action.

Students should attempt to resolve any grievances they may have with their school first. Should attempts to resolve these problems with appropriate school officials fail, or should the student be dissatisfied with the final outcome of the college complaint process, then the Higher Education Coordinating Commission (HECC), can respond to a formal complaint.  Students may contact the Higher Education Coordinating Commission, 3225 25th St. SE, Salem, OR 97302 or by sending an email to complaints@hecc.oregon.gov. Students may also access our https://www.oregon.gov/highered/about/Pages/complaints.aspx, or visit the complaints page at NC-SARA’s website:  https://nc-sara.org/student-complaints.

Accommodation for Disabilities Policy

It is the policy of American Denturist College (ADC) to provide reasonable accommodation for persons defined as disabled under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, and all other local and state requirements dealing with students who have recognized disabilities.

A request for reasonable accommodation will be granted provided that the following criteria are met:

  • The request for reasonable accommodation is based on individual needs.
  • The request does not require a financial burden on the American Denturist College that is beyond what is viewed as customary and reasonable.
  • The request does not compromise the basic requirements of the course.

ADC online students who would like to request academic accommodations for a disability

will need to contact the learning disabilities specialist and provide appropriate documentation of their disability at least one month prior their first class meeting:

Krissie McBride, Director of Admissions
E-mail: krissie@adc.edu
Office Phone: 541-654-5885
Fax: 800-544-6267

Appropriate documentation will include the Initial Online Academic Accommodation Request (available in on the website), a diagnosis of the disability, testing results and the impact of the disability on the student in the online learning environment. The school is required by law to have current documentation of the disability in order to provide accommodations. Typically, academic testing results are required to be within the last three years. (The time frame of testing for certain disabilities can be more or less frequent based on the area of disability and the possibility of a change in the disability or condition pertaining to student need and the requirements of our office.)

Insufficient or incomplete documentation can result in a delay in the accommodations or the implementation of limited or temporary accommodations until appropriate and up-to date documentation is received in our office.

Transfer Credit Policy

The acceptance of transfer academic credits to another institution is determined by the receiving institution. Institutions individually establish criteria for transfer credit acceptance based on many factors, including but not limited to course content, degree or non-degree course, final grade, credits per course, type of accreditation, age of credits, etc. Courses in ADC programs may or may not transfer to other institutions and depends solely on the receiving institution’s criteria and determination. The ADC does not imply or guarantee the transferability of credits from its programs.

ADC Diploma Program

Due to the all-inclusive, unique nature of ADC Denturist diploma program, the ADC does not accept transfer credit for the issuance of the Diploma. The ADC does recognize certain accredited diploma granting programs for the BTSc Completion in Denturism Program.

Challenge Tests

Students who feel they meet or exceed the academic requirements for specific courses in the program, either through prior coursework or on the job education, may choose to challenge some individual courses at the American Denturist College.
