A, student may not be permitted to add any new subject to his course after the second week of any quarter. , ,s; 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 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: Any 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. An honorable dismissal indicates that a student has been properly released from the College and that he has paid or has made arrangements to pay all fees. Higher institutions of learning require as a prerequisite to admission an honorable release from the institution previously attended. 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 shalh 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 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 he waived only upon approval of the President of the College. ; " ■•' WEBER COLLEGE - OGDEN, UTAH 29 Work Program: Students who are working for the College or elsewhere should so inform the Dean 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 al 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 Commitee may then recommend to the Dean that the student be reinstated if the members decide that the case warrants such action. Forfeiture of privilege to attend a class is enforced whenever a student is dropped from class. A student may be dropped from class because of unsatisfactory progress, lack of attendance, or for unsatisfactory conduct. The student may be reinstated by securing written approval of both the instructor and his adviser. 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 due to their immature judgments. ELIGIBILITY _ Eligibility rules apply to all students who participate in competitive activities. Special rules apply to all members of social and service clubs. In order to be eligible to represent the College in any competitive activity, the student must: (1) be graduated from a standard high school, or have fifteen units of high school work; (2) be registered for at least ten hours of college work, or the equivalent amount in the terminal courses; and (3) have passed ten hours of college work, or its equivalent, during the last quarter of attendance. Eligibility for social and service clubs is maintained according to the regulations of the Inter-club Council; namely, the student must: (1) be registered for ten hours of college work, or its equivalent in the terminal courses; and (2) have a grade point of 1.0 in all work during the last quarter of attendance. |
