1940-1941 Academic Catalog

20 GENERAL INFORMATION On Friday and Saturday nights, girl students may be out until ten-thirty; on other nights, except Sunday, they may be out with the written permission of the Dean. Freshmen may have not more than one midnight permit a week; permits for upper classmen will be granted at the discretion of the Dean. Regulations in regard to the entertainment of guests are made by the girls' hostesses and not by the college; in most houses the girls' friends are welcome. Attendance.-1. All students are required to be punctual and regular in their attendance at chapel, recitations, and all other exercises of the College. 2. No excuses are granted for absences from any recitations, tests, or examinations. All students will be held responsible for any work missed on account of absence. 3. Students shall not be penalized by deduction of credit under Se('tion 5 for absences due to sickness or other absolutely unavoidable reasons until after the number of absences ex– ceeds by one the number of hours credit given in the course. 4. Absences on the first and last regular recitation days of each semester, on the recitation days immediately preceding and following all holidays and vacations and on the day of Prayer for Colleges shall count double. 5. For each eighteen absences over the number allowed one credit shall be deducted from the total number obtained during the semester, and for any smaller number a proportionate de– duction shall be made. The several amounts of credits deducted shall be added together and if the total amount comes to one or more whole credits, they shall be deducted from the number of credits obtained in one of the studies pursued during that semes– ter. The registrar shall determine as to the study from which the credit shall be deducted but the student affected may request that the credit be deducted from some other study taken in the same semester. If the amount deducted does not come to a whole credit, the fraction shall be carried over until it amounts to a whole credit. All other fractions of deducted credits shall in like manner be carried over from semester to semester till they come to a whole credit. 6. Three tardy marks shall be counted as one absence. 7. At each faculty meeting each instructor shall report the number of times he was tardy or absent, or dismissed classes before the time for dismissal. 8. Absences from Chapel shall count the same as absences from classes. Professors appointed by the President of the Col– lege will keep a record of chapel absences. Discontinuance of Studies.-1. No student shall be allowed to discontinue any study for which he has registered without permission of the President. In case a student dis– continues a study without such permission he shall be given a grade of F in that study.
