By a rule of the General Church Board of Education, a student may be graduated if he has completed fifteen units of any course, provided the unit not completed does not include English or the professional subjects for which the course stands. A clean moral character is required for graduation. A diploma will be denied a student who is in the habit of using tobacco or intoxicating liquor, or of attending places of ill-repute. The standing of students in studies pursued is determined from the daily records of recitations, reviews, and final examinations. No student will receive credit toward graduation in any study in which percentage of excellence falls below 60; nor shall any student be graduated who does not attain an average of 75 per cent in all studies included in the course. Students who do not graduate with the class in which they enter will be held to all the requirements made of the class with which they finally graduate. Since changes may be necessary from year to year, students who register for any course will be permitted to graduate in the course as laid out in the year in which they register. |
