SCHOLASTIC 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 fto 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 grade in the subject. Changes in Study Program: A student may make a change in his study program if for justifiable reasons it seems advisable. Withdrawal from a course prior to the close of the sixth week may be made by applying to the Registrar's Office for a withdrawal slip and by having this withdrawal slip approved by the student's adviser and returned to the Registrar's Office. A student may not be permitted to add any new subject to his course after the first week of any quarter, except by special permission of the Registrar. See page 23 for payment of fee. If a student desires to withdraw from a subject after the sixth week, application must be made to the Registrar's Office. The Registrar will then ascertain the standing of the student at the time of application for withdrawal is made, and, if the student is passing, a grade of* withdrawal will be given. Otherwise, a grade of failure will be recorded. Withdrawals from College with Honorable Dismissal: Am student who finds it necessary to withdraw from Weber College, except at the end of the quarter, should petition the Registrar to grant him an honorable dismissal. This petition must be signed by his adviser and must be filed with the Registrar. The Registrar will then ascertain the scholastic standing of the student if the application for withdrawal is made after the sixth week. If the student is doing passing work, a mark of withdrawal is given; otherwise, a grade of failure is recorded. |
