Academic Information 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 Registration Office. This form must be approved by the Dean of Students and returned to the Registration 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—An incomplete may be given by an instructor in a class only when the student has completed at least eight weeks of the autumn, winter, spring quarters, or six weeks of the summer quarter but is unable to complete the classwork because of illness or other legitimate reasons, and in the opinion of the instructor, the student can complete the required work of the course without re-registering for the class. The required work must be completed and a grade reported to the Registrar's Office wihin a 12 month period following the receipt of the I—"incomplete." For good reasons, a student may petition the Admissions, Credits and Graduation Committee for additional time to complete the work. Generally, an extension will not be longer than one additional quarter. Any extension of time authorized beyond the 12 months period following the receipt of the incomplete will be specifically shown on the petition. If the petition is approved, copies of the authorization should be sent to the appropriate department and instructor. When the instructor gives an incomplete he must file a Report of Incomplete with his department, specifying what must be done for removal of the incomplete. The report should be made in triplicate, one for the Registrar's Office, one for the Department, and one for the student. An incomplete remains on the official transcript unless made Academic Information up within a 12 month period following the receipt of the incomplete or within an approved extension of time. An incomplete grade will not be used when calculating GPA. Grade and Grade Points—The grade system consists of eleven grades as follows: "A", excellent; "B", above average; "C", average; "D", unsatisfactory; "E", failure; "I", incomplete; "CR", credit; "NC", no credit. "W" is used to denote withdrawn, "WF", withdrawn failing and "UW", unofficial withdrawal. 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. Credit-No Credit Grading Procedure—The basic objective for a Credit-No Credit program is to allow students to enroll in courses without the pressures that often develop in letter grades. I. Eligibility of students for CR-NC grading: A. Open only to students with more than 45 hours of completed credit. B. Open only to students who are not on academic probation or academic warning. II. Further criteria for a CR-NC system: A. A maximum of 30 hours credit for CR-NC courses can be used for graduation, exclusive of student teaching credit, special examination credit, School of Education IPT program (Individualized Performance Based Teacher Education Program), Nursery School Practice Teaching, Methods classes, Family Life Practicums, Radiological Technology Practicums, Manufacturing Planning I, II, III, and convocation credit. B. A maximum of two classes per quarter can be taken for CR-NC grades. C. No course taken on a CR-NC basis will count toward major, minor, general area requirements, or the specific course requirements (with the exception of the specific course requirements in P.E. and those exceptions noted in II A above). D. Grades on the CR-NC system are not included in computing the term or cumulative grade point average. A grade of CR is equivalent to a grade of "D" and above. E. If the student changes his major, the Registrar reconverts to the letter system those credits earned under the CR-NC system. 30 31
