1971-1972 Academic Catalog

ACADEMIC INFORMATION 33 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. The WF is treated in the same manner as the F. 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 full instruc– tional weeks in the term or quarter following the end of the summer school term or quarter in which the "incomplete" was given. If it is not completed in the prescribed time, the "Incom– plete becomes an "F". Reqiured courses which have been failed must be repeated. CR-The mark "CR" means that credit has been granted and it also applies to the "Credit or No Credit Program" where credit was received for satisfactory (average or above) performance in the 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 must attend and participate in a course, however receives no credit. 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.
