1970-1971 Academic Catalog

ACADEMIC INFORMATION 33 THE GRADING SYSTEM Grades are issued at the end of each quarter. However, first quarter fresh– men receive mid-term academic warnings if their grades are "D" or "F". It is the responsibility of each student to discuss his academic achievement with his instructor. Grades received in courses 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. A~ This grade is given in recognition of excellent achievement. It is indicative of superior work in quality and reveals a thorough mastery of the subject matter. The student receiving this grade should demonstrate enough interest to do some independent in– vestigation beyond the actual course requirements. B-This grade indicates work and achievement that is well above average. The student receiving this grade should be capable of doing advanced work in this field. The quality of the work should be con– sidered better than that achieved by the average student. C-This is an average grade and is indicative of a satisfactory meeting of requirements. D-This grade reveals accomplishment that is inferior in quality and/or quantity and is generally unsatisfactory from the standpoint of course requirements. This is the lowest grade for which credit can be given. F-This is a failing grade. It indicates very unsatisfactory work, and the course must be repeated for credit. Inc-The mark "Incomplete" is given when a student has done satis– factory work in a class but has been unable to complete all the re– quired work because of extended illness or other extenuating cir– cumstances. The work may be made up within two instructional weeks following the end of the quarter. If it is not completed during that period, the "Incomplete" becomes an "F". Required courses which have been failed must be repeated. CR-"Credit or No Credit Program". This shows that credit was re– ceived for satisfactory performance in a course. These hours apply toward the total graduation requirement but are not used in the computation of grade point averages. AU-This is given when course is audited. A student may attend and participate in a course, however receives no credit.
