Show 38 WEBER COLLEGE - OGDEN, UTAH 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 naturally detracts from accomplishment and interest. It also leads to habits that are not tolerated by employers. Students who are irregular in their attendance may be dropped from the class involved and given an "E" in the subject. Withdrawals: A student may withdraw from registration in any class prior to the end of the second week of any quarter by filing a withdrawal slip with the Registrar. Following the second week of any quarter, no withdrawals are permissable except in instances wherein a passing grade 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. To withdraw from or discontinue a class it is necessary for a student to file with the Registrar a withdrawal slip signed by the Dean of Instruction. Honorable Dismissal: Any student who finds it necessary to withdraw from college, except at the end of the quarter, should petition the Registrar to grant him an honorable dismissal. This petition properly signed, must be filed with the Registrar. Higher institutions of learning require, as a pre-requisite to admission, an honorable release from the institution previously attended. Incompletes: Incompletes are permissable only in instances wherein 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 student's having made known the cause of absence to the instructor, prior to the issuance of grades. It is further provided that any Incomplete given under such ruling shall appear finally on the records as an E unless 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 Admission, Credits, and Graduation 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 to be the cause for the change. Make-up Examinations: No make-up examinations shall be allowed except on the payment of 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 Committee on Attendance and Scholar ship 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. WEBER COLLEGE - OGDEN, UTAH 39 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 Committee on Attendance and Scholarship 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. College Attitude: A student enters college through choice, rather than by law requirement. He is arriving at the age of maturity where good judgment and ability to make wise choices is most desirable. For these reasons he is given considerably more freedom than he has had in the past. Numerous rules and regulations governing this new degree of freedom are purposely omitted. It is presumed that college students are capable of acting as men and women. 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 instructors 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 were 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 instructors of the Department of Music at Weber College shall choose the substitute. |
