GENERAL INFORMATION 33
A grade of I (incomplete) means that some relatively small part of the
work remains undone, because of sickness or other reason satisfactory to the
instructor. This work must be completed within one month after the student
re-enters the University if credit for the course is to be gained. The Grade I
is not to be given to the student whose work is below passing
A grade of X may be changed by special examination within one month
after the student re-enters the University.
` An extension time for the removal of an I or an X may be granted by
the dean of the college in which the student is enrolled.
The standing of a student is defined as the ratio of his total number of
points to his total number of credits. For example, a student who makes an
average mark of C in 128 credits, would have 128 points and a standing of 1.0.
An average mark of B would give the student 256 points and 128 credit hours,
and a standing of 2.0. For all purposes other than classification and graduation,
“standing" is understood to be the ratio of the number of points gained to the
number of credits attempted.
Recording of Marks. Through the sixth Monday of any semester, and
through the tenth class day of the summer session, students who withdraw from
a class or who are dropped from a class will have no mark recorded. After these
dates, students who withdraw or who are dropped from a class are to be_ given
WP, VVF, or E, as reported by the instructor of the class.
In computing standings for all university purposes a WF shall be treated
as an E.
A mark once reported to the Regist1ar’s Oflice shall not be changed except
when the instructor states that an error has been made or that an injustice
would be done the student if the mark remained unchanged.
Definition of a Semester Hour or Credit. A semester hour represents one
hour of recitation or lecture or two hours of laboratory a week for one semester.
Drawing, shopwork, physical education, and other courses requiring no outside
work are reckoned at three hours for one semester hour. A semester hour is
usually referred to as a credit in bulletins and catalogs which explains the
University’s program.
Transcript of Record. A student who, for any reason, withdraws from
the University in good standing is entitled to a transcript of his record. The
first copy is issued without charge and additional copies are furnished at a
charge of one dollar each. Transcripts may not be issued for anyone who has
failed to meet all financial obligations to the University. Transcripts are sent
to other institutions, agencies, or persons, only at the written or personal request
of the student concemed.
Requirements for Graduation
Undergraduate Colleges. To be eligible for graduation from any under-
graduate college of the University, a student must have completed the require-
ments of the curriculum as approved by the University Faculty. In addition to
gaining the specified number of credits, he must have an equal number of
quality points —that is, a standing of 1.0.
Curriculum substitutions may be made on recommendation of the college
dean to the University Registrar’s Otlice.
