1972-1973 Academic Catalog

ACADEMIC INFORMATION Students are urged to register on the days provided. Nominal charges must be made for late registration. Changes in the program caused by cancellation of courses will not involve financial penalty. The catalog used when the student first matriculates is usually followed in defining graduation requirements. Therefore, he should keep that catalog as his guide in case changes are made in course or graduation requirements. SESSIONS AND CREDITS The regular college year consists of three quarters of eleven weeks each, extending from October to June. Credits are earned in terms of quarter hours. A quarter credit hour is one fifty-minute period a week for one quarter. As an illustration; a student completing the work required in fifteen such periods a week for one quarter receives credit for fifteen quarter hours. Exceptions to this are laboratory sessions, applied music, and physical education. CLASSIFICATION OF STUDENTS Regular students are those who have met the requirements for admission.
