Show REGULATIONS Normal Registration—Normal registration for any one quarter is 15 quarter hours, exclusive of one hour in physical education activities, usually taken each quarter of the freshman year. Maximum Registration—Maximum registration without special permission is 17 quarter hours, exclusive of one credit in physical education activities. A student may register for additional hours with the permission of his advisor of the Dean of Students. A petition blank for additional hours may be obtained from the Registrar's Office. Exceptions are made where the student must meet requirements of a prescribed curriculum. (For example, engineering student registers for the courses outlined in the catalog even though the schedule prescribed is in excess of the maximum registration.) Attendance—Registration and enrollment presupposes regular attendance at recitations, lectures, and laboratory sessions. A student who is irregular in his attendance may be dropped from the class and given an "E" grade. Withdrawal—To withdraw from a course, a student must fill out a change of registration card obtained from the Registrar's Office, have his advisor and division chairman approve it, and return the card to the Registrar's Office. a. If a student withdraws officially from a course during the first two weeks of a quarter, no entry will be made of the course on the permanent record. If withdrawal is made after the second week and before the end of the fourth week, a mark of "W" is entered in the record. b. Withdrawal from individual courses after the fourth week of the quarter and two weeks before the end of a quarter: (1) If a student is doing passing work in a course he may withdraw if such action is recommended by the teacher, the student's advisor, and the division chairman. A grade of "WP" (withdrawn passing) will be assigned the class. (2) A student doing failing work in a course may withdraw if such, action is recommended by the teacher, the student's advisor, and the division chairman. A grade of "WF" (withdrawn failing) will be assigned each class so withdrawn. A "WF" (withdrawn failing) counts the same as an "E" grade in computing the grade point average. 36 c. If a student discontinues a class during the quarter without officially withdrawing, he will receive a "UW" (unofficial withdrawal) in each course discontinued. A "UW" (unofficial withdrawal) indicates the student has not officially cleared with the college. "UW" will count the same as an "E" grade when computing the grade point average. d. When a student is dropped from a class because of unsatisfactory work, an "E" is recorded. Withdrawal from School—Except at the end of a quarter, any student who withdraws from Weber State College must obtain a withdrawal-from-school slip from the Registrar's Office. This form must be approved by the Dean of Students and returned to the Registrar's Office. If withdrawal from school is made after the fourth week, the Registrar determines the scholastic rating of the student in each course registered. For a grade of "C" or better, a "WP" is entered in the student's permanent record. If a student's work is below "C" grade, a "WF" or "E" is recorded. Good Standing—A student is in good standing on Weber State College records who has been honorably released from the college and is eligible to return or to transfer to another school. Incompletes—Incompletes are permissible only when 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 causes of absence to the instructor, prior to the issuance of grades. It is further provided that any Incompletes 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. Grade and Grade Points—The grade system consists of six grades as follows: "A", excellent; "B", above average; "C", average; "D", unsatisfactory; "P", passing, and "E", failure. "WP" is used to denote withdrawn passing, "WF" withdrawn failing, "UW", unofficial withdrawn. Grade points are assigned as follows: Each hour of "A" counts four points; "B", three points; "C", two points; "D", one point, and "E", no points. The total grade point is then divided by the total hours registered. A ratio of 3.5 represents honors. Repeat Courses—A student may repeat a course in which he has received a low mark; however, the original grade will remain on the record and both grades will be counted in 37 |
