30 WEBER COLLEGE WEBER COLLEGE 31 Student Life and Welfare STUDENT GUIDANCE The Committee on Student Guidance directs the work of student counseling in Weber College. The chairman of this committee, the Dean of Instruction, devotes most of his time to interviewing students and advising them about their work and college problems. All registrations must be approved by the Dean of Instruction. At the close of each fourth week, the instructors are required to file with the Dean the scholastic records of each student. Those who have failed to maintain a C grade average at the close of the quarter are placed on probation and their registration for the following quarter limited to a maximum of twelve hours. Failure to pass success fully in at least ten hours during the quarter in which a student is placed on probation may result in expulsion from the college. It is the business of the Dean of Instruction to refer all important cases involving scholarship or delinquency in discipline to the Committee on Student Guidance for final action. All recommendations for expulsion must originate in this committee. An important feature of the guidance program is the institution of the course in Freshman Orientation required of all students entering the college. This course not only deals with problems of orientation to college life, methods of study, use of library, principles of mental hygiene, etc., but also, it attempts to acquaint the entering student with the curricular programs, registration procedures, administration policies, and student body organizations and activities of Weber College. Important data for use in student counseling is secured from results obtained through the entrance English examinations and the psychological aptitude tests given in connection with the course in Freshman Orientation. HEALTH SERVICE PROGRAM The Health Service is designed as an educational and advisory service, its benefits extending to every student enrolled in Weber College. Its specific functions are: (1) to give a complete medical examination to every student upon his initial entrance at Weber College; (2) to notify parents and students regarding results of the examination, and to recommend corrective work; (3) to re-examine, at reasonable intervals, students with physical defects; (4) to supply a nursing service that consists of consultation and advice but no treatment; and (5) to initiate protective measures against the spread of disease. STUDENT ACTIVITIES In the belief that fulfillment of the objectives of a junior college education are best realized when students are prepared for the fullest participation in life, for social responsibility and leadership, and for appreciation of the cultural and aesthetic sources of enjoyment, Weber College encourages a student activity program which provides for such development. CLASSIFICATION OF STUDENTS A matriculated student with fewer than forty-five quarter hours' credit at the beginning of the school year will be classed as a freshman. A matriculated student with more than forty-five quarter hours' credit and fewer than ninety quarter hours at the beginning of the school year will be classed as a sophomore. A student who has completed fifteen units of high school work but who is deficient in the required high school subjects, or a student nineteen years of age or over who has not completed fifteen units of high school work, will be classed as an unmatriculated student. A student who is carrying fewer than ten quarter hours of work will be classed as a special student. GRADES AND GRADE POINTS The grading system consists of four passing grades, A, B, C, D; failure, E; incomplete, Inc.; withdrawn, W. A denotes exceptional accomplishment; B, superior; C, average; D, inferior. 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 will be assigned as follows: Each hour of A grade counts three points; B grade, two points; C grade, one point; D grade, no point; and E grade, minus one point. The total of honor points thus obtained is divided by the total hours registered. A ratio of 2.50 represents high honors. A student must make a ratio of at least 1.00 for graduation.
