DID YOU KNOW? IE USES THE GAUSS CURVE AS OUR EVALUATION SYSTEM

Understanding how you'll be assessed from day one is key. Most** of your courses use the Gauss Curve as the grading method — your final grade is based on the evaluation criteria from each course and the program's grading distribution.

Knowing how the curve works can help you better interpret your final grades.

For more details, please review the Student Guide before classes begin.

**You can check which courses use the Gauss Curve in the Student Guide as well as in each course syllabus.
