Show 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 adviser or 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 students register for the courses outlined in the catalog even though the schedule prescribed is in excss of the maximum registration.) AttendanceRegistration and enrollment presupposes regular attendance at recitations, lectures, and laboratory sessions. A student who is irregular in his attendance may be dropped from class and given an E grade. Changes in Study ProgramA student who wishes to make a change in his study program must do so before the end of the second week in a quarter. After the course has been in progress for two weeks, a student may not enroll in that course without special permission of the instructor and the Registrar. WithdrawalTo withdraw from a course, a student must fill out a withdrawal card obtained from the Registrar's Office, have his adviser approve it, and return the card to the Registrar's Office. 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. When a student is dropped from a class because of unsatisfactory work, an E is recorded. Withdrawal is not permitted after the fourth week except for reasons satisfactory to the Registrar. Upon withdrawal, the Registrar ascertains the student's scholastic standing. If he has a C grade or better, a WP (withdrawn passing) is entered in the permanent record. If he is doing below C grade a WF (withdrawn failing) is recorded. A student is not permitted to withdraw from a class during the last two weeks of the quarter. This does not apply to withdrawal from school. Withdrawal from SchoolExcept 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 38 entered in the student's permanent record. If a student's work is below C grade, a WF or E is recorded. Good StandingA 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 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. Grades and Grade PointsThe grading system consists of five grades as follows: A, excellent; B, above average; C, average; D, unsatisfactory, and E, failure. WP is used to denote withdrawn passing and WF, withdrawn failing. 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 CoursesA 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 arriving at the average grade point for graduation. This policy will begin with the Summer Quarter 1964. Changing of Grades Grades entered with the Registrar shall be unalterable except when 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 ExaminationsNo make-up examinations are allowed except on the payment of a one-dollar fee to the Treasurer and the presentation of the receipt of such payment to the instructor concerned. ACADEMIC STANDARDS, ELIGIBILITY AND SOCIAL STANDARDS Academic StandardsStudents at Weber State College are expected to maintain high academic standards. A "C" average or a grade point average of 2.0 is required for graduation. Students should take care in selecting a course of study appropriate both to their individual interests and abilities. Failure to maintain a 2.0 average will place a student on academic warning, probation or final probation depending on the total number of grade points the student falls below the 39 |
