After registration, students are classified as freshmen, sophomores, and part-time students. A student with less than forty quarter hours credit at the beginning of the school year is classified as a freshman. A student with more than forty quarter hours credit is classified as a sophomore. A student who is carrying less than ten quarter hours of work is classified as a part- time or special student. Numbering of Courses. Courses numbered from one to 49, inclusive, are called transfer courses and are accepted at full value by senior institutions. Courses numbered 50 and above are called terminal courses. Credit for terminal courses is allowed by senior institutions which offer similar programs but might not be accepted by universities and colleges where these programs are not catalogued. Grade and Grade Points. The grading system consists of four grades: A, B, C, D; failure, E; incomplete, Inc., withdrawn, W. Exceptional accomplishment is denoted by the grade of A; superior B; average, C; and inferior, D. When a student is dropped from a class because of inferior work or excessive absences, a final mark of E is recorded. Grade points or honor points are assigned as follows: Each hour of A grade counts four points; B grade, three points; C grade, two points; D grade, one point; and E grade, no point. The total honor point thus obtained is divided by the total hours registered. A ratio of 3.5 represents honors. Normal Registration. The normal registration for any one quarter is 15 quarter hours credit, exclusive of one credit in physical education activities. Maximum Registration. The maximum registration should be 17 quarter hours, exclusive of one credit in physical education activities. The student may apply for additional credit upon the recommendation of his adviser. This excess credit must be approved by the Dean of Instruction. A petition blank for maximum credit may be obtained from the Registrar's Office. Exceptions are made where the student must meet the requirements of a prescribed curriculum. For example, engineering students register for the courses outlined by the department even though the course prescribed is in excess of the maximum registration. Attendance: Registration and enrollment in the different classes of Weber College presupposes that recitations, lectures, and laboratory session will be attended regularly. Absence from class naturally detracts from accomplishment and interest. It also leads to habits that are not tolerated by employers. Students who are irregular in their attendance may be dropped from the class involved and given an E grade in the subject. Changes in Study Program. A student who wishes to make a change in his study program must do so before the end of the second week in a quarter. After a course has been in progress for two weeks, a student may not enroll in that course without special permission of the instructor concerned and the Registrar. To withdraw from a course, a student must list the course or courses on a withdrawal slip obtained from the Registrar's Office, have his adviser approve it, and return the slip to the Registrar's Office. If a student withdraws officially from a course during the first two weeks of a quarter, no entry will be made of the course in the permanent record. If withdrawal is made after the second week and before the end of the sixth week, a mark of W is entered in the record. Withdrawal is not permitted after the sixth week except for reasons satisfactory to the Registrar. Upon withdrawal, the Registrar ascertains the student's scholastic standing. If he has a C grade or better, a W is entered in the permanent record; otherwise, an E, which is a failure, is recorded. Withdrawal from School. Except at the end of a quarter, any student who withdraws from Weber College must obtain a with- drawal-from-school slip from the Registrar's Office. This form must be approved by the Dean of Men or the Dean of Women and returned to the Registrar's Office. If withdrawal from school is made after the sixth week, the Registrar determines the scholastic rating of the student in each course registered. For a grade of C or better, a W is entered in the student's permanent record; otherwise, E, a failure, is recorded. Good Standing. A student is in good standing on Weber College records who has been honorably released from the College and is eligible to return or transfer to another school.
