Show Academic Information Center who will act as his adviser. A letter will be sent to the student notifying him of his probationary status. III. SUSPENSION Students on Academic Probation who fail to earn a grade point average of 2.0 or better for that quarter will be suspended from further attendance at Weber State College. Readmission will be considered only in cases where the student can present evidence to the Admissions Committee which would indicate positive change in circumstances suggesting a high probability of future successful performance. Eligibility—In order to be eligible to represent or participate in student organizations or any extra-curricular activities, the college specifies certain minimum standards of eligibility. To protect students from becoming too involved in extracurricular activities when their scholastic record is not high enough to warrant the additional expenditure of time and to assure the institution is appropriately represented, the following eligibility standards are to be met: I. ELIGIBILITY STANDARDS A. Be matriculated and registered for twelve (12) or more quarter hours each quarter. 1. This credit is interpreted to mean: any courses accredited at Weber State College or any accredited college or university. 2. Should the student withdraw from a class during the quarter making the total hours carried less than twelve (12) the student automatically becomes ineligible for participation in the specified extracurricular activities. 3. When extenuating circumstances exist and a student drops below the minimum requirement during the quarter, he/she may make a written appeal to the Eligibility Committee Chairman. 4. The receiving of an E, NC, or Incomplete grade for a course is interpreted as having completed the course for the quarter. B. Maintain a cumulative overall GPA of at least 2.0. 1. The Incomplete grade received for a course is not used in calculating the GPA or cumulative GPA until a letter grade is received for the course. Academic Information C. Those students holding studentbody leadership positions must in addition to the above requirements, maintain a cumulative GPA of 2.25 each quarter, as specified in the Studentbody Constitution. Those students aspiring for studentbody leadership positions must have a cumulative GPA of at least 2.5 to be eligible for any office. D. Any student placed on academic warning or disciplinary probation will be deemed ineligible. II. SPECIFIC ACTIVITIES CONCERNED A. Student government and other student leadership and service activities. B. All student organizations, including social and service organizations, sororities and fraternities, ethnic and religious groups, and other similar organizations. C. Music and dramatic events. D. Debate. E. Publication staffs. F. Chatonelles, Song Leaders, and Rally Men. G. King and Queen, and other similar contests, such as "Miss Weber State," "Ski King and Queen," etc. Before students may represent Weber State College in intercollegiate athletics, they must comply with the eligibility regulations adopted by the Institutional Council of the College, the constitution and operating code of the BIG SKY Conference, and the NCAA. Any student who participates in any of the activities concerned without meeting all of the criteria for eligibility, including registration for 12 or more quarter hours in the quarter during which the student participates, places himself and his organization in jeopardy. Should his eligibility be challenged and found wanting, his organization may be required to forfeit any win it may have gained during such participation. III. ELIGIBILITY COMMITTEE The Eligibility Committee, composed of administrators, faculty and students, is administratively appointed to do the following: A. To interpret all rules governing eligibility. B. To determine the eligibility of all participants in organized studentbody activities. 62 63 |
