20 CEDARVILLE COLLEGE The grades received in courses are also useful to indicate to the student the fields for which he has the greatest aptitude. A student with low grades in a major or minor field is advised to select another field of concentration. The mar~ "Incomplete" is given when a student has done satisfactory work in a class but has been unable to complete all the required work because of conditions beyond his control. The work may be made up before the end of the next semester or summer session the student is in residence. If it is not completed during that period the ·~in– complete" becomes an F. CHANGES IN SCHEDULE Changes in schedule are permitted before the end of the second week of classes. The student who wishes to drop one course and add another is required to present to the Registrar a statement of permission signed by the advisor and the instructor of the class he is entering. The student is required to make up any work he has missed due to _late entrance. Withdrawal from courses must be reported to the Registrar with a statement of permission by the student's advisor. No grade is entered for the class if it is dropped during the first two weeks. After two weeks the grade will be entered as WP, withdrawn passing, or WF, withdrawn failing. In calculating merit points and academic point aver, ages the Registrar shall count as F all WF grades entered after the week twelve-week grades are announced. MERIT POINTS AND POINT AVERAGES Cedarville College uses what is called the ••4 point system" to de, termine the exact academic average. Merit points are awarded as follows: Each semester hour of A= 4 merit points Each semester hour of B = 3 merit points Each semester hour of C = 2 merit points Each semester hour of D = 1 merit point No merit points are given for a grade of F, failing, or U, unsatisfac, tory. A 'grade of S, satisfactory, does not give merit points, although it does give credit. The accumulative point average is determined by dividing the total ·number of merit points received by the total number of semester hours for which grades have been given.
