28 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 1.00 for graduation. Before a student can become a candidate for graduation, he must have completed the final thirty quarter hours of residence work at Weber College, unless it is determined by the Graduation Committee that it is to the academic advantage of the student to transfer to a senior institution for his sixth quarter. The graduation Committee may make exceptions in individual cases. A candidate for graduation is required to be present at the Commencement exercises. Any exceptions to these requirements are made by the President. 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 to 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. If a student desires to withdraw from a subject after the sixth week, application must be made to the Registrar's Office. A withdrawal from class is not permitted after the sixth week of any quarter, except when circumstances beyond the control of the student exists. The Registrar will then ascertain the standing of the student at the time the application for withdrawal is made, and if he is doing "C" grade of work or better at the time he withdraws, a mark of Withdrawal will be recorded; otherwise, a grade of Failure will be recorded. A student may not be permitted to add any new subject to his course after the second week of any quarter, except by special permission of the instructor and registrar. 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 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. 29 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 counselor 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. 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 effected 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 that the student be reinstated if the members decide that the case warrants such action.
