Show 0t Make-up Examinations: No make-up examinations are 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. This fee may be waived only upon approval of the President of the College. Work Program: Students who are working for the College or elsewhere should so inform the Dean of Instruction so that a satisfactory in-school and out-of-school work program may be effected. A well-planned and a well- balanced program of work and of studies is most important as it presents a situation conducive to success and greatly reduces the chances of failure. Warnings to Students Doing Failing Work: Warnings are 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 are referred to the Standards Committee for personal conference with the students concerned. Probation: Students failing to maintain a C average or better are on probation during the subsequent quarter and may also be limited in registration. Students who fail to meet the social standards of conduct of Weber College may be placed on probation. A probationary period, unless otherwise specified, is for the duration of one quarter. Forfeiture of Privilege: Forfeiture of privilege to attend the College in so far as it is affected by scholarship is enforced whenever a student on probation fails to pass ten hours of work. Forfeiture of privilege to attend the College may also result from unsatisfactory conduct. If for any reason it is felt that injustice has been done, the student may appeal to the Standards Committee for a hearing. The committee may then recommend to the Dean of Instruction that the student be reinstated if the members 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. The vast majority of the students demonstrate their abilities to profit by these liberties. It is only the few who ostracize themselves due to their immature judgments. 30 Eligibility Eligibility rules apply to all students who participate in competitive •activities for which the College makes an award.
