College Regulations In the Centre community, students practice self-governance. This implies individual freedom, which is linked with community responsibility. Students are encouraged to speak out and become involved in the College Council, Student Government Association, and other student organizations that determine campus policies. Experiences in residence halls, in fraternities and sororities, in student and College governance, and in athletics—all are powerful occasions for education. Centre’s regulations are expressions of the fundamental educational commitments of our community—commitments to academic integrity and to opportunities for education and personal growth. Academic Policy Grading System The following grading system applies to all students matriculating at Centre. Excellent A 4.000 A-3.670 Good B+ 3.330 B 3.000 B-2.670 Satisfactory C+ 2.330 C 2.000 C-1.670 Marginal D 1.000 Unsatisfactory U 0.000 WU 0.000 Withdrew Unsatisfactory None* P: A passing mark awarded for work at the C-level or above in courses offered or taken on a pass/unsatisfactory basis. WP Withdrew Passing I Incomplete W Withdrew AU Audit NC No Credit (Internships only) *Not used in computing the grade point average (the total of grade points earned divided by the number of quality points attempted). 44
A grade of “I” (Incomplete) is awarded only when the student is unable to complete the course for unavoidable cause such as illness, death in the family, or accident. Incomplete grades must be approved by the Associate Dean before the end of the academic term. The “I” automatically becomes a “U” unless a final grade is turned in within 30 days after the end of the term or unless a further extension is granted by the Academic Standards Committee on the written request of the instructor. End-of-term grade reports are available to students via CentreNet approximately five days after the last final exam. Students who do not complete all required online course evaluations will not be able to access their grades for an additional fifteen days. Grades are not mailed to students unless specifically requested in writing. In the long terms (fall and spring terms), midterm grades of D or U (if reported by the instructor) are also reported to the student via CentreNet. Grade Changes Members of the faculty may not, except by action of the Academic Standards Committee, change a final grade after it has been filed with the Registrar. Grade changes based on clerical errors may be approved by the Associate Dean and reported to the Academic Standards Committee. Requests to change a grade for reasons other than clerical must be made in writing to the Academic Standards Committee. Requests to change a grade for any reason must be made no later than the end of the sixth week of the following long term. Grade Appeals Grading is a matter of professional judgment and is the responsibility of the course instructor. Questions concerning the reasonableness of grading should be addressed first to the course instructor no later than the end of the sixth week of the following long term. If after consultation with the instructor the student believes that a final grade has been unfairly determined or that considerations other than professional judgment have influenced the grade, petition should be made to the Associate Dean. If after conferences among the instructor, the student, and the Associate Dean there is still disagreement, an appeal may be made in writing to the Academic Standards Committee. The decision of the Academic Standards Committee is final. Classification of Students Students are normally enrolled at the College only as declared candidates for a degree. Class standing is based upon the following progression in course work successfully completed: First-Year: 0-26 credit hours Sophomore: 27-53 credit hours Junior: 54-82 credit hours Senior: 83 or more credit hours Part-Time Students Normally, degree candidates are required to enroll full time. Exceptions must be approved in advance by the Associate Dean of the College and the Dean of Students. Students not yet completing eight long terms of full-time enrollment and not suffering from extraordinary circumstances must enroll full time. Part-time students are responsible for meeting all of the College’s requirements for graduation. Normally, students enrolled on a part-time basis or as special students are not eligible for the dean’s list during that term nor are they eligible to represent the College in intercollegiate athletic competition. Only those students who have completed eight long terms of full time enrollment at the College may be eligible to represent the College in intercollegiate athletic competition, after consultation with the Director of Athletics, as part-time students in their ninth long term (provided they are registered for all they need to complete their degree requirements). See “Other Financial Information” section under “Comprehensive Fee, Payment Plans, and Refund Policies” for tuition policies for part-time students. Special Students A limited number of persons may enroll from term to term as special students. Special students are not candidates 45
