Show 34 ANNUAL, CATALOGUE WEBER COLLEGE 35 Regulations Attendance: Registration and enrollment in the different classes of Weber College presupposes that recitations, lectures, and laboratory sessions will be attended regularly. Absence from class necessarily lowers a student's grade. For this reason regular attendance is required. Students who are irregular in their attendance may be dropped from the class involved and given an E in the course. Withdrawals: Subject to arrangements with the Registrar, students may withdraw from registration in any class prior to the end of the second week of any quarter. Following the second week of any quarter, no withdrawals are permissable except in instances wherein a passing mark is being maintained. Discontinuance of a class after the second week in instances of failing work is to be reported on the records as a failure grade for the course. Incompletes: Incompletes are permissable only in instances where in the student has been absent for illness or is delinquent for other thoroughly justifiable causes, and in such instances only when a grade of passing work prior to the absence is revealed by the class record. The giving of an Incomplete is further contingent upon the students having made known the cause of absence to the instructor, prior to the issuance of grades. It is further provided that any Incompletes given under such rulings shall appear finally on the Registrar's records as an E unless duly made up during the first succeeding quarter in which the course is given. Changing of Grades: Grades entered with the Registrar shall be unalterable except in instances in which explanation to the Scholar ship Committee or to the Administration is expressly made by the teacher concerned, and then, only in the event that error in recording or computing grades is shown as the cause for the change. Make-up Examinations: No make-up examinations shall be allowed except on the payment of a one dollar ($1.00) fee to the Treasurer and the presentation of the receipt of such payment to the instructor concerned. Warnings to students doing failing work: Warnings shall be mailed by the Registrar to the homes of students doing unsatisfactory work at the end of the fourth and eighth weeks of each quarter. At the discretion of the Registrar serious cases of students doing failing work shall be referred to the Director of Guidance for personal conference with the students concerned. Limited Registration: Students failing to maintain a C average or better, are on probation during the subsequent quarter and may also be limited in registration. Students working for the college may not be allowed to carry an excessively heavy scholastic load; other students who are working may be advised to limit their registration. Dismissal: Dismissal from the college in so far as it is affected by scholarship shall be enforced whenever a student on probation fails to pass ten hours of work. If for any reason it is felt that injustice has been done, the student may appeal to the Guidance Committee for a hearing. The committee may then recommend to the President of Weber College that the student be reinstated if they decide that the case warrants such action. Scholarships In order to retain any one of the general scholarships granted by Weber College to incoming Freshmen each year, a student must carry at least twelve hours of satisfactory work in each quarter of the year for which his scholarship is granted. Should he not meet this provision, his scholarship is immediately forfeited, and he becomes automatically ineligible for obtaining any new scholarship throughout that school year. The Committee shall decide in every instance what interpretation shall be placed upon the phrase "satisfactory work." The retention of music scholarships shall not be subject to any arbitrary standards of hour load or grade point average, but to the discretion of the head of the Department of Music, the President of the college, and the Faculty Committee on Awards and Scholarships. A forfeited scholarship shall be granted to another student immediately after forfeiture. The recipient may be either one who is a member of the Weber College Freshman Class at the time of grant, or one who is not then enrolled at Weber but who wishes to enter as a Freshman. All scholarships to Weber College are in force only during the year for which they are granted. In the event that the general scholarship student does not enter Weber College in the Autumn Quarter of the year for which the award is made, his scholarship is considered forfeited and the principal of his high school shall, upon notification by the Committee, choose a substitute. The same rule applies for special music scholarships, except that the head of the Department of Music at Weber College shall choose the substitute. Eligibility To be eligible for participation in extracurricular activities a student must maintain an average of C grade in any ten hours of college work. The eligibility of contestants is established at the beginning of the quarter in which the contestant is to participate by the filing of the contestant's grades for the past quarter with the Eligibility Committee; and in the case of athletics, with the Arbitrator of the Intermountain Junior College Athletic Association as well. Upon the subsequent addition of contestants to the list, the teacher sponsoring the activity shall submit a list of such additional participants. Contestants who are listed as not passing in one or more subjects in the fourth and eighth week report shall be required to secure from all of their teachers a statement as to their grades; i. e., A, B, C, D, or E. If they fail to show an average of C grade in any ten hours of college work, they shall be placed on probation. After a probationary period of one week from the date of listing, the student shall be declared ineligible until the requirements are satisfied. Student Liability The Weber College Athletic Council is not in any way liable for injuries or illnesses which occur to athletes as a result of participation in the activities sponsored by the college. It is assumed that all who engage in athletics have received permission from parent or guardian to participate and to accept full responsibility. |
