34 WEBER COLLEGE - OGDEN, UTAH The Dean has the authority to modify the above graduation requirements according to the needs of the individual. In addition to the above requirements, candidates for the Certificate of Completion in the Trades must successfully pass the examinations as designated by the Trade Advisory Committee. The Certificate of Completion is designed for students who desire to complete their formal education at the close of the second college year. Grade Point and Residence Requirements 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. Before a student can become a candidate for graduation, he must have completed thirty quarter hours of residence work at Weber College. All candidates for graduation are required to be present at the Commencement Exercises. Any exceptions to these requirements are made by the President. Training Record Card A Training Record Card is issued to Trade Preparatory Students when their course of training is completed or when they leave school for placement on a job. This card indicates the units of work which have been successfully completed by the student. Certificate of Preparatory Training A Certificate of Preparatory Training is issued to vocational students who have completed a prescribed training program. The Training Record Card and the Certificate of Preparatory Training are issued in recognition of training and accomplishment. They do not indicate graduation. 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. A student may not be permitted to add any new subject to his course after the second week of any quarter. 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. WEBER COLLEGE - OGDEN, UTAH 35 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 properly signed 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 permissable 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 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 be waived only upon approval of the President of the College. 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 at 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 privileges 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 to the Dean that the student be reinstated if the members decide that the case warrants such action.
