Show Incompletes: Incompletes are permissible 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 written 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 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. Work Program: A student who is working for the College or elsewhere should so inform his couselor 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. Unsatisfactory Work: A student who is doing unsatisfactory work is interviewed during the quarter by members of the guidance committee. Constructive assistance is given the student in meeting his educational and personal problems. Academic Probation. A student failing to maintain a C average or better in any quarter is on probation during the next quarter. In the quarter in which he is on probation, the student will be given personal counseling on his problems, and he may be limited in his registration. Any student on academic probation who fails during the quarter to acquire a grade of C or better in at least ten hours of regular college work may be required to adjust his load and/or major during the subsequent quarter to a program where there exists a reasonable promise of success. It will be the responsibility of the Guidance Committee to assist such persons to arrive at an adjustment appropriate and acceptable both to the student and the college. In cases where a student, who is on probation two consecutive quarters, fails to make such adjustment as would give promise of success in his subsequent work, he may be referred to the Standards Committee to determine whether or not he should be dropped from college. Social Standards. A student attending Weber College is expected to maintain a high standard of moral conduct. Forfeiture of the privilege to attend the college may result from unsatisfactory conduct. If for any reason it is felt that an injustice has been done, the student may appeal to the Standards Committee for a hearing. The Committee may then recommend to the Administration that the student be reinstated if the Committee decides 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 are 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 because of their immature judgments. ELEGIBILITY Eligibility rules apply to students who participate in school activities, to members of social and service clubs, and to recipients of Weber College scholarships. To be eligible to represent the College in an activity, a student must (1) be a graduate of a standard high school, or have earned at least fifteen units in high school studies, or meet the entrance requirements by passing the G. E. D. tests; (2) be registered for at least ten quarter hours of college work; and (3) have completed satisfactorily ten hours of work in the previous quarter of attendance. If a student is not passing in ten quarter hours of college work, he becomes ineligible to participate in activities. Eligibility is affirmed twice during the quarter, at the end of the fourth and eighth week. Eligibility for social and service clubs is maintained according to the regulations of the Inter-club Council. A student must (1) be registered for a minimum of ten quarter hours of college work; and (2) have a grade point of at least 2.0 in all work during the previous quarter of attendance. Social and service club members who in the previous quarter have not maintained a 2.0 grade point average are declared ineligible to participate in any club activities during the new quarter, or until the grade point average is raised to at least 2.0. Directors of opera, drama, debate, and yearbook must file a list of participants before any position, part, or office is officially given to a student. In case of an opera or a play, eligibility is in effect for the duration of the production. In all other cases, eligibility must be affirmed at the end of the fourth and eighth weeks. An eligibility committee composed of faculty and students will check the participants of the different activities against the list of probationary students and students doing unsatisfactory work furnished by the Guidance Office and the Registrar's Office. Students who participate in inter-school athletics are governed by the regulations of the Intermountain Junior College Athletic Conference. STUDENT LIABILITY Weber College is not in any way liable for an athlete's injuries or illnesses that result from participation in the activities sponsored by the College. It is assumed that one who engages in athletics has received permission from parent or guardian to participate and to accept full responsibility. The College is not in any way liable for student injuries which may result from activities on field trips, in shop or laboratory class |
