Academic Information Academic Information (1) If a student is doing passing work in a course, he may withdraw if such action is recommended by the teacher and the student adviser. A grade of "WP" (withdrawn passing) will be assigned the class.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 and the student's adviser. A grade of "WF" (withdrawn failing) will be assigned each class so withdrawn. A "WF" (withdrawn failing) counts the same as an "E" grade in computing the grade point average. 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—Students are permitted to withdraw from school except within the last two weeks of the quarter. Exceptions to this policy must be approved by the Dean of Students. A student who withdraws from Weber State College must obtain a withdrawal-from-school form from the Registrar's Office. This form must be approved by the Dean of Students and returned to the Registrar's Office. If a student withdraws from school within the first two weeks of the quarter, no entry will be made of any course on the permanent record. If withdrawal from school is made between the second week and fourth week of the quarter, a "W" is entered for each course registered. If withdrawal is made after the fourth week and a student is doing passing work, a "WP" will be recorded for each course so indicated by the instructor. If a student's work is below passing, as indicated by the instructor, a "WF" 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 con tingent 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. A student need not reregister for the course to make up an incomplete. 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 arriving at the average grade point for graduation. This policy began with the Summer Quarter 1964. Changing of Grades—Grades entered with the Registrar shall be unalterable except when written explanation to the Admissions, 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 Examinations—No make-up examinations are allowed except on the payment of one-dollar fee to the Treasurer and the presentation of the receipt of such payment to the instructor concerned. Non-Resident Regulations—A student classified as nonresident of the State of Utah is required to pay a special nonresident fee. Any non-resident student who has reason to believe he can qualify for resident status must file a petition with the Registrar before he registers. Petition forms are available in the Registrar's Office. Each petition will be considered in accordance with the following provisions of Title 53-34-1 of the Utah Code Annotated (Supp. 1863). The meaning of the word "resident" for the purpose of this act shall be determined by reference to the general law on the subject of domicile, except that the following rules shall be observed: (a) No person can acquire a domicile by living in the State of Utah when such person lives in Utah for the purpose of at- 44 45
