Show WEBER COLLEGE REQUIREMENTS FOR ENTRANCE A candidate for admission must present an official transcript of credits from an approved high school, showing that he has completed satisfactorily at least fifteen units of high school work. This must include 3 units of English; 1, algebra; 1, geometry; 1, history; 1, science; and 8, electives. In addition to these general requirements, students majoring in the Division of the Humanities should present for entrance 3 units of French or German. A student majoring in Engineering and the allied physical sciences should include advanced algebra I 2 unit, solid geometry I 2 unit, and trigonometry I 2 unit. A student deficient in these requirements may satisfy them in college. These deficiencies, however, may require that the student spent a longer period of time to complete the two year course. Students of nineteen years of age or over who have not completed a full high school course may be admitted by the president as an unmatriculated student. Students who expect to enter the College are requested to forward an official copy of their high school credits to the registrar not later than September 1. REQUIREMENTS FOR GRADUATION Before a student can become a candidate for graduation, he must show that he will have completed ninety-six quarter hours of work, which must lead the student to the completion of a definite curriculum approved by the department. Students in Engineering are required to have a minimum of one hundred quarter hours. All candidates for graduation are required to be present at the Baccalaureate and Commencement Exercises unless excused by the President. WEBER COLLEGE GRADES AND GRAND POINTS The significance of the several grades of scholarship is as follows: A, excellent; B, good; C, fair; D, barely passing; E. failure, necessitating a repetition of the course; W, withdrawn. When a student is dropped from a class on account of poor 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 points; and E grade, minus one point. The total of honor points thus obtained is divided by the total hours registered. A ratio of 2.15 represents honors. A ratio of 2.50 high honors. A student must make a ratio of at least 1.00 for graduation. CLASSIFICATION OF STUDENTS A regular student with fewer than forty-five quarter hours credit at the beginning of the school year will be classed that year as a Freshman. A regular 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 during that year as a Sophomore. A student who has met the entrance requirements but who is carrying fewer than ten quarter hours of work will be classed as a Special. A student of 19 years of age or over who has not completed fifteen units of high school work will be classed as an Unmatriculated student. |
