60 is right on the borderline and for some schools it is failing. Some colleges require a 70 percent or a 65 percent though some schools work on a ten point letter grade scale meaning a D would be 60–69; a C 70–79, a B 80–89 and an A above 90. However check with your particular school.
Though the College generally does not demand a minimum grade point average, SAT, or ACT test score, some specialized academic programs at OCC may have unique admissions requirements.
Maintaining these standards makes a student eligible for an academic degree or certificate. In an effort to promote student success, the College has developed a program of academic sanctions which shall be triggered when the semester GPA of a student falls below 2.0.
Grades A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+, C, C-, D+, D, D- indicate passing grades; F indicates failure.
You'll usually need to receive a letter grade between A and D to pass a class, often the numerical equivalent of 65 percent or higher. Receiving an F—which stands for “fail”—indicates that you did not pass the class. The cutoff to receive an F is usually 64 percent.
