Academic Information Academic Information made in triplicate, one copy for the Registrar's Office, one for Department, and one for the student. An Incomplete remains on the official transcript unless made up within the 12-month period following the receipt of the Incomplete or within an approved extension of time. An Incomplete grade will not be used when calculating GPA. Repeat Courses—A student may repeat a course in which he has received a low grade. The original grade will remain on the record. When a class has been repeated, the grade earned the last time the course is taken is the grade used in calculation of the student's grade point average. A student repeating a course must notify the Registration Office. Changing of Grades—Grades entered with the Records Office shall be unalterable except when written explanation to the Admission, Credits and Graduation Committee is expressly made by the teacher concerned. Grade changes are permitted only when there has been an error in the computing or recording of grades. Make-up Examinations—No make-up examinations are allowed except on (1) the approval of the class instructor, (2) the payment of a one-dollar fee to the Treasurer, and (3) the presentation of the receipt of such payment to the instructor concerned. STUDENT SOCIAL STANDARDS Weber State College extends the privilege of attending the school to those persons who meet entrance requirements, standards of health, character, and prior appropriate conduct. The student enters college by choice and is not required by law to attend. Students are subject to federal, state and local laws as well as college rules and regulations and are not entitled to immunity or privileges before the law. Students found guilty of violations of college rules and regulations are subject to such disciplinary action as the college may consider appropriate. Appropriate Dress—Appropriate dress is expected for the campus and in all buildings. Use of Liquor—Weber State College does not permit the use of alcoholic beverages either on the campus or at college- sponsored functions off the campus. Any violation of this rule is subject to disciplinary action. Drug Abuse-Use—Possession, or distribution of marijuana, LSD, narcotics or other illegal drugs on college-owned property except as expressedly permitted by law will not be tolerated. Any violation of this rule will result in disciplinary action. Smoking—Smoking is prohibited in all buildings on the campus except in designated areas. Provisions for Appeal—Any student who has received disciplinary action for academic or social reasons will have the right to appeal his case as stated in the Academic Freedoms, Rights and Responsibilities of Students document. ELIGIBILITY FOR STUDENT ACTIVITIES The college specifies that a student must meet certain standards of eligibility in order to participate in student organizations or any other extra-curricular activities. Students should avoid overloading themselves to a point that their performance suffers. In general they should expect to study two hours for each hour of lecture. Care should be taken to keep the total work load, including outside work, at a reasonable level. No student should work more than 20 hours a week on outside work if he is taking 15 or more hours of crediit. To protect students from becoming too involved in extracurricular activities when their scholastic record is not high enough to warrant the additional expenditure of time and to assure the institution is appropriately represented, an Eligibility Committee, composed of administrators, faculty and students, is administratively appointed to (a) interpret all rules governing eligibility, (b) determine the eligibilty of all participants in organized studentbody activities according to the following eligibility standards: I. STANDARDS A. A student must be matriculated and registered as a full-time student (pay full-time tuition and fees). 1. If a student changes to part-time status by withdrawing from a class during the quarter, he automatically becomes ineligible to participate in extracurricular activities. 2. If as a result of withdrawing from a class the student becomes a part-time student and feels that there are extenuating circumstances involved, the student may make written appeal to the Eligibility Committee. 30 31
