1967-1968 Academic Catalog

30 CEDARVILLE COLLEGE GRADE POINTS AND POINT AVERAGES Cedarville College uses the "four point system" to determine academic averages. Grade points are awarded as follows: Each quarter hour of A-4 grade points Each quarter hour of B-3 grade points Each quarter hour of C-2 grade points Each quarter hour of D-1 grade point Each quarter hour of F-0 grade points The grade point average is computed by dividing the total grade points earned by the total hours attempted. ACADEMIC PROBATION AND DISMISSAL Students whose grades are below a 2.0 cumulative average in the third quarter of their senior year will not be able to graduate. The faculty and other counselors are available to discuss student progress. Students in academic difficulty should utilize these personnel to help them find solutions to their academic problems. Certain minimal levels have been set by the faculty to determine when a student should be placed on academic probation or be eligible for adademic dismissal. These are as follows and are based on cumulative averages: Quarter Hours Completed Probation Dismissal 0-15 1.6 1.0 16-29 1.7 1.25 30-44 1.8 1.50 45-59 1.9 1.75 60-74 Below 2.0 1.90 75+ Below 2.0 Students on probation for two consecutive quarters are eligible for academic dismissal. Academic probation implies no particular restrictions on college activities, but should be considered as a serious warning that the student faces academic dismissal unless his grades improve. The academic status of transfer students will be determined by using the total number of hours for which credit has been granted at Cedarville College.
