Show 18 WEBER COLLEGE Requirements for Graduation (Continued) Before a student can become a candidate for graduation his scholastic record must show that he has satisfied the entrance requirements, and that he can fulfill all the requirements for graduation on the completion of the course for which he is registered, and that he has an average of not less than "C" in all his college work. Any exceptions to these requirements will be given by the President, or by the graduation committee appointed by the President. All candidates for graduation are required to be present at the commencement exercises unless excused by the President. GRADES AND GRADE POINTS The significance of several grades of scholarship is as follows: A, excellent; B, good; C, fair; D, unsatisfactory; E, failure, necessitating a repetition of the course; W, withdrawn.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 point; and E grade, minus one point. The total of honor points thus obtained is divided by the total hours registered. A ratio of 2.15 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 19 years of age or over who has not completed fifteen units of high school work will be classed as an unmatriculated student. |
