1958 Grades and Reports
Grades and Reports
The instructor determines the progress of the individual
and the group by means of conferences, class work, tests measuring
the cumulative knowledge in the course and in the field of
study, special assignments or papers, and other procedures which
may prove valuable.
The scholastic standing of students is indicated by a system
of grades, designated by the letters A, B, C, D, E, F, and J.
A, B, C, and D are passing grades, A indicating work of the highest
rank, D of the lowest. Students receiving the grade of E are
conditioned in the subject and may remove the condition in any
way that is satisfactory to the instructor, provided this is done
within one year. Students receiving the grade of F must repeat
the course to receive credit for it. Students receiving the grade
of I must complete the course within one year from date of
record if a credit grade is to be given.
Students who withdraw before the end of a semester receive
a withdrawal grade: WS (withdrawn satisfactory), WU (withdrawn
unsatisfactory), or WF (withdrawn Iailingj .
The general quality of students' work is numerically determined
by assigning quality points for each semester hour of a
grade as follows: A, 3; B, 2; C, 1; D, 0; WU, 0; £,-1 (until the
condition is removed); F,-I; WF,-I. In order to be ranked in
lull class standing, students must complete successfully the normal
program of semester hours with at least an equal number of
quality points. The normal program for freshmen and sophomores
is thirty-four semester hours each year; for juniors and
seniors, thirty semester hours. The number of semester hours
which each course carries is stated after its description in the
Courses of Instruction section of this catalogue.
Reports are mailed to parents at the end of each semester
and at midsemester during the freshman year. Midsemester
reports are also made in courses where upperclassmen are doing
unsatisfactory work. The academic records are reviewed each
semester by the Committee on Admissions and Standards. A
student may be dropped from college when, in the opinion of
the Committee, his scholarship record is so low as to justify such
action.
Honorable Mention is given for outstanding scholarship
during a college year. This honor is read at [he fall convocation
and recorded on the permanent record and in the catalogue. An
