shorter durations, such as four, five or seven
and a half weeks, may add those classes any
time prior to the beginning of the class as
space permits, and up to five days after the
class begins, with permission of the instructor.
Students needing to drop such classes
may do so for up to five days after the class
begins, without a dean’s permission.
Withdrawal
A student who finds it necessary to withdraw
from the College or the Wayne Calloway
School of Business and Accountancy must do
so through the office of the appropriate dean.
With the approval of the dean of the College
or the dean of the Wayne Calloway School
of Business and Accountancy, no grades are
recorded for the student for that semester,
but the student’s standing in courses at the
time of the withdrawal may be taken into
consideration when readmission is sought.
If withdrawal is for academic reasons, failing
grades may be assigned in all courses
in which the student is doing unsatisfactory
work. A student who leaves the College or the
Wayne Calloway School of Business and Accountancy
without officially withdrawing is
assigned failing grades in all current courses,
and the unofficial withdrawal is recorded.
Withdrawal from the College or the
Calloway School cannot be finalized until
ThinkPads, printers, connecting cables, WFU
ID cards, residence hall keys (if applicable)
and maillbox keys, along with any other pertinent
University property items, have been
returned to the appropriate offices.
Tuition, fees, room rent, and related
charges will not be refunded for findings of
responsibility within the undergraduate student
judicial review process. Return of Title
IV funds will be handled in accordance with
federal law.
Examinations
Final examinations are given at regularly
scheduled times. All examinations are
conducted in accordance with the Honor and
Ethics System adopted by the student body
and approved by the faculty.
Grading
For most courses carrying undergraduate
credit, there are twelve final grades: A
(exceptionally high achievement), A-, B+, B
(superior), B-, C+, C (satisfactory), C-, D+, D,
D- (passing but unsatisfactory), F (failure),
and I (incomplete).
Grade of I. The grade of I may be assigned
only when a student fails to complete the
work of a course because of illness or some
other emergency. If the work recorded as I
is not completed within thirty days after the
student enters for his or her next semester, the
grade automatically becomes the grade of F.
The instructor must report the final grade to
the registrar within forty-five days after the
beginning of that semester.
NR. “NR” (Not Reported) is an administrative
designation that indicates that a faculty
member has not reported a grade. Unless a
grade is recorded within forty-five days after
the student enters his or her next semester, the
NR automatically becomes the grade of F.
Grade Points. Grades are assigned grade points
per hour for the computation of academic
averages, class standing, and eligibility for
continuation, as follows:
for each grade of A 4.00 points
for each grade of A- 3.67 points
for each grade of B+ 3.33 points
for each grade of B 3.00 points
for each grade of B- 2.67 points
for each grade of C+ 2.33 points
for each grade of C 2.00 points
for each grade of C- 1.67 points
for each grade of D+ 1.33 points
for each grade of D 1.00 points
for each grade of D- 0.67 points
for each grade of F no points
