The total number of grade points is divided by the total number of credit hours of the course for which the grade points have been accumulated to determine the student's grade point average (GPA.) A GPA of 3.5 represents "Honors" for the quarter. Credit/No-Credit Policy and Grading Procedure—The basic objective of the Credit/No-Credit program is to allow students to enroll in courses without the pressures that often develop in the letter grade system. I. Eligibility of students for CR/NC grading: A. Freshman students may take one course per quarter on a credit/no- credit basis. B. Students with 44 credit hours may register for no more than two courses per quarter on credit/no-credit basis. II. Further criteria for a CR/NC system: A. A maximum of 30 hours credit for CR/NC courses can be used for graduation exclusive of: student teaching credit, special examination credit, School of Education IPT program (Individualized Performance Based Teacher Education Program), Nursery School Practice Teaching, Methods classes, Family Life Practicums, Radiological Technology Practicums. Respiratory Therapy Clinical Applications, Engineering Technology Senior Projects, and Convocation credit. B. No course taken on a CR/NC basis will count toward major, minor, general area, or specific course requirements (with the exception of the specific course requirements in Physical Education and those exceptions noted in II A above). C. Grades on the CR/NC system are not included in computing the term or cumulative grade point average. A grade of CR is recorded for letter grades of D and above on the student's academic record. D. If the student changes major, the Registrar reconverts to the letter grade given by the class instructor those credits earned under the CR/NC system. E. Grades of CR/NC may not be used to satisfy the repeat course policy. III. Mechanics: A. Choice of the CR/NC courses should be made during registration but a course registration may be changed during the first sixty percent of the quarter. A student may add a CR/NC course during the specified period for adding courses. If the student withdraws from a CR/NC course, he withdraws under the current procedure for withdrawal. B. The course instructor is unaware whether a student is taking a class for regular credit or CR/NC grade and gives only letter grades on Final Grade Card and Report of Grades to Registrar form. Incomplete Grade — An Incomplete may be given by an instructor only when the student who, after having completed approximately 80% or more of the required work, is unable to complete the classwork for a legitimate reason, such as illness or accident, and, in the opinion of the instructor, could complete the required work without re-registering for the class. When giving an Incomplete, the instructor must file an Instructor's Report of an Incomplete with the Academic Department and Office of the Registrar, specifying in detail: (1) what work must be done in order to remove the Incomplete: (2) the time deadline for completing the work (no longer than a twelve-month period following the receipt of the Incomplete) and (3) the letter grade which is to replace the "I" if the work is not completed. The student must sign the report, and be given a copy of the report by the instructor at the time the report is prepared. An Incomplete remains on the official Permanent Record Card and the Instructor's Final Grade Report to the Registrar until the date specified by the instructor. After that date, the "I" will be changed to the grade specified on this form: or it will be changed prior to that date to the grade submitted by the instructor on an Authorization of Grade Change form. When an Authorization of Grade Change form is properly approved and processed in the Office of the Registrar, the Records Office will provide both the student and student advisor a copy of the change in grade. 34 Student Affairs T Grade—A T Grade is given for those courses so structured as to require grading of students to be done in a quarter subsequent to that one in which the course begins. All such courses must have the approval of the department offering the course and the Curriculum Committee. A letter grade (A, B, C, D, E) or a CR/NC must be given by the instructor at the time the required work is to be completed. When giving a T grade, the instructor must file a Report of T Grade form with the department and the Office of the Registrar, specifying in detail (1) the work that must be completed for the replacement of the T grade, (2) the deadline date for the completion of that work, and (3) the grade that will be given if the work is not completed by the deadline. When giving a T grade to all students in a course because the scheduled end of the course is in a subsequent quarter, the instructor need not complete a separate form for each student. At the end of the quarter in which the course begins, the instructor will mark only the final grade cards of the students with the T grade and turn them in with one Report of a T Grade form, listing the class by name and number and indicating the termination date of the course during the following quarter. The Final Grade Report to the Registrar form should be retained by the instructor who will complete the form and return it to the Registrar within 72 hours of the time stipulated for the completion of the work. The Records Office will process the grades and file the form in accordance with regular procedures. Repeat Courses—A student may repeat a course in which a low grade was received and have that grade superseded by the most recently received grade. The original grade will remain on the student's academic record, but the student's grade point average will be recalculated on the basis of the most recently received grade. Registering for a course for a second time, therefore, under the credit/no credit policy, is not permissible. It is the responsibility of the student to notify the Registrar's Office upon the completion of a "repeat course" in order for the grade point average to be recomputed. PETITION FOR ACADEMIC RENEWAL A currently enrolled Weber State College undergraduate student may petition the ■ Dean of Admissions and Records for Academic Renewal. This procedure allows the student to request that his or her academic record be reviewed for the purpose of discounting, for grade point average computation, all courses which were entered on the student's academic record ten or more calendar years prior to the time of the request for renewal. Under this procedure, courses with a "D" or lower grade would not count toward the requisite total hours needed for graduation. This renewal option can be used only once during a student's undergraduate career. This procedure does not apply to graduate students or to students pursuing a second undergraduate degree. Responsibility for administration of this procedure rests with the office of the Dean of Admissions and Records. | Changing of Grades—Grades entered with the Records Office shall be f unalterable except when written explanation to the Admission, Credits and Graduation Committee is expressly made by the instructor concerned. Grade changes are permitted only when there has been an error in the computing or recording of grades. Make-up Examinations—No make-up examinations are allowed except on I (1) the approval of the class instructor, (2) the payment of a one-dollar fee to the Cashier, and (3) the presentation of the receipt of such payment to the | instructor concerned.
