Grades and Grading Grades and Grading 4. 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. 5. 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 parents 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 a 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. 6. 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 is classified as a non-resident. All requests for resident classification must be filed with the Office of Dean of Admissions and Records. Grade and Grade Points—The grade system consists of the following: A—Excellent; B—Above Average; C—Average; D— Unsatisfactory ; E—Failure; I—Incomplete; CR—Credit; NC— No Credit. W is used to denote Withdraw. Grade points are earned according to the following schedule: for each credit hour of A—four points, B—three points, C—two points, D—one point, E—no points. The total number of grade points is divided by the total number of credit hours of the course for which the grade points have been accumulated to determine the student's grade point average (GPA). A GPA of 3.5 represents honors. Credit/No Credit Grading Procedure—The basic objective for a Credit/No Credit program is to allow students to enroll in courses without the pressures that often develop in letter grades. I. Eligibility of students for CR/NC grading: A. Freshmen students may take one course per quarter on a credit/no-credit basis. B. Students with 44 credit hours may register for no more than two courses per quarter on credit/no- credit basis. II. Further criteria for a CR/NC system: A. A maximum of 30 hours credit for CR/NC courses can be used for graduation, exclusive of student teaching credit, special examination credit, School of Education IPT program (Individualized Performance Based Teacher Education Program), Nursery School Practice Teaching, Methods classes, Family Life Practicums, Radiological Technology Practicums, Respiratory Therapy Clinical Applications, Manufacturing Planning I, II, III, and Convocation credit. B. No course taken on a CR/NC basis will count toward major, minor, general area requirements, or the specific course requirements (with the exception of the specific course requirements in P.E. and those exceptions noted in II A above). C. Grades on the CR/NC system are not included in computing the term or cumulative grade point average. A grade of CR is equivalent to a grade of D and above. D. If the student changes his major, the Registrar reconverts to the letter system those credits earned under the CR/NC system to the new major. III. Mechanics : A. Choice of the CR/NC courses should be made during registration but may be changed the first four weeks of the quarter. (A student may add a CR/NC course during the specified period for adding courses.) If the. student withdraws from a CR/NC course, he withdraws under the current procedure for withdrawal. B. The course instructor is unaware of who is taking a class for regular credit or CR/NC grades. He fills out all Final Grade Cards with letter grades. 48 49
