Wytheville Community College dual credit courses will follow WCC’s grading scale. If a
student taking a WCC dual credit class fails or drops the class, he or she is responsible for
paying tuition.
Absence From An Exam
If a student misses an exam, prior arrangements through the principal or a doctor’s excuse
are required. Non-compliance will result in a zero for that exam.
