Academic Information tingent upon the student's having made known the causes of absence to the instructor, prior to the issuance of grades. It is further provided that any Incompletes given under such ruling shall appear finally on the records as an "E" unless made up during the first succeeding quarter in which the course is given. A student need not reregister for the course to make up an incomplete. Grade and Grade Points—The grade system consists of six grades as follows: "A", excellent; "B", above average; "C", average; "D", unsatisfactory; "P", passing; and "E", failure. "WP" is used to denote withdrawn passing, "WF" withdrawn failing, "UW", unofficial withdrawn. Grade points are assigned as follows: Each hour of "A" counts four points; "B", three points; "C", two points; "D", one point; and "E", no points. The total grade point is then divided by the total hours registered. A ratio of 3.5 represents honors. Repeat Courses—A student may repeat a course in which he has received a low mark; however, the original grade will remain on the record and both grades will be counted in arriving at the average grade point for graduation. This policy began with the Summer Quarter 1964. Changing of Grades—Grades entered with the Registrar shall be unalterable except when written explanation to the Admissions, Credits and Graduation Committee, or to the Administration, is expressly made by the teacher concerned, and then, only in the event that error in recording or computing grades is shown to be the cause for the change. Make-up Examinations—No make-up examinations are allowed except on the payment of one-dollar fee to the Treasurer and the presentation of the receipt of such payment to the instructor concerned. Non-Resident Regulations—A student classified as nonresident of the State of Utah is required to pay a special nonresident fee. Any non-resident student who has reason to believe he can qualify for resident status must file a petition with the Registrar before he registers. Petition forms are available in the Registrar's Office. Each petition will be considered in accordance with the following provisions of Title 53-34-1 of the Utah Code Annotated (Supp. 1863). (1) The meaning of the word "resident" for the purpose of this act shall be determined by reference to the general law on the subject of domicile, except that the following rules shall be observed: 56 Academic Information (2) No person can acquire a domicile by living in the state of Utah when such person lives in Utah for the purpose of attending or enabling a minor child to attend an institution of higher education. (3) A student whose family residence is not in Utah cannot acquire domicile unless he or she has lived in the state for one year prior to registration in a post-high school educational institution. (4) A student whose family moves to Utah with the intent of taking up permanent residence shall be immediately eligible to register as a Utah resident student. (5) No student shall lose his domicile for educational purposes by the removal of his parents or guardian from the state during the continuous period of his higher education. (6) The domicile of a minor shall be that of his father; in the event of the death of his father, that of his mother; and in the event of death of both parents, that of the last deceased parent unless a guardian has been appointed. Letters of guardianship are not conclusive for purposes of determining domicile within the meaning of this act. In the event of divorce or separation, the domicile of the minor shall be that of the person to whom custody has been awarded, or that of the mother, if no award has been made. (7) Each person serving in the United States armed forces, assigned to duty in Utah, and members of the family of such persons who live in Utah shall be deemed residents for the purpose of this act. A prospective student whose credentials indicate out-of- state status will be so classified. All requests for resident classification must be filed with the Registrar's Office.
