Show III. STANDARDS AND TOTAL WORK LOAD Students should avoid overloading themselves to a point that their performance suffers. In general they should expect to study two hours for each hour of lecture. Care should be taken to keep the total work load, including outside work, at a reasonable level. No student should plan to work more than 20 hours a week on outside work if he is taking 15 hours of credit. Social Standards—A student attending Weber State College is expected to maintain a high standard of moral conduct. He enters college through choice. He is not required to attend by law. Forfeiture of the privilege to attend may result from unsatisfactory conduct. Numerous rules and regulations are purposely omitted. Students are expected to demonstrate maturity in their judgments. Most students do this. It is only the few who ostracize themselves because of their immaturity. Appropriate Dress—Appropriate dress is expected for the campus and in all buildings. Use of Liquor—Weber State College does not permit the use of alcoholic beverages either on the campus or at college- sponsored functions off the campus. Any violation of this rule is subject to disciplinary action. Smoking—Smoking is prohibited in all buildings on the campus. Provision for Appeal—Any student who has been suspended or declared ineligible for academic or social reasons will have the right to appeal his case in writing to the Standards Committee. His appeal should include a statement of any extenuating circumstances. Graduation Weber State College grants the degrees of Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, and the titles of Associate in Arts, Associate in Science, a Certificate of Completion, and a Certificate of Proficiency. For a student to be admitted to candidacy for any degree or title, his scholastic record must show that he has satisfied the entrance requirements and that he can fulfill the requirements for graduation upon the completion of the courses for which he has registered. No credit obtained prior to the time his college standing was established may be used toward graduation. The Graduation Committee may make exceptions in individual cases. Grade Requirements—A student's scholastic record must show that he has an average of not less than "C," an average grade point of at least 2.0 in all his registered work. 46 Credit Restrictions—Not more than 30 quarter hours of "D" grade credit may be applied toward graduation. However, the Divisions may reject any or all "D" grade work toward the Major or Minor Requirements. Not more than twenty-four of the total hours required for the baccalaureate degree may be correspondence credit. All "incompletes" must be removed at least four weeks prior to graduation. Residence Requirement—A candidate for any degree or title must be registered at the college during at least one quarter following the last commencement prior to his graduation. Change in Graduation Requirements—Students who are not graduated with the class with which they entered are held to the requirements applicable to the class with which they are graduated. Application for Graduation—A candidate for the bachelor degree must file a written application for graduation obtained at the Registrar's Office during Spring Quarter of his junior year. Each applicant will receive a written report on his standing for graduation upon which to plan the work for his senior year. A candidate for the title of Associate in Arts or Science, or for the Certificate of Completion or for the Certificate of Proficiency must file a written application for graduation with the Registrar's Office not later than the sixth week of the Autumn Quarter. Applications will not be considered within the last few weeks before Commencement, unless special permission is given by the Registrar. A candidate for graduation must pay his graduation fee at the Cashier's Office within the second week of the Winter Quarter. A candidate is required to be present at Baccalaureate and Commencement Exercises unless excused by his Division Chairman and the President of the college. Application for such excuse should be addressed in writing to the appropriate division chairman. Honors at Graduation—A candidate who has completed requirements for graduation at Weber State College and whose ratio in all registered work is not less than 3.8 is awarded high honors (magna cum laude); a student whose ratio in all his registered work is not less than 3.4 is awarded honors (cum laude).
