The Certificate of Completion is designed for students who desire to complete their formal education at the close of the second college year. Grades, Grade Points, and Residence Before a student can become a candidate for graduation, his scholastic record must show that he has satisfied the requirements for entrance, that he can fulfill all the requirements for graduation on the completion of the course for which he is registered, and that he has an average of not less than C, a ratio of at least 1.00, in all his college work. The grading system consists of four passing grades: A, B, C, D; failure: E; incomplete: 1; withdrawn passing: W.P.; withdrawn failing: W.F. Exceptional accomplishment is denoted by the grade of A; superior, B; average, C; and inferior, D. When a student is dropped from a class because of inferior work or excessive absences, a final mark of E is recorded. Grade points or honor points are assigned as follows: Each hour of A grade counts three points; B grade, two points; C grade, one point; D grade, no point; and E grade, minus one point. The total of honor points thus obtained is divided by the total hours registered. A ratio of 2.50 represents honors. A student must make a ratio of at least 1.0 for graduation.
