1980-1981 Academic Catalog

Adventure in Learning 1 Business and Technical Those students enrolled in college level business and technical courses in com– munity colleges may wish to have such credits evaluated toward the bachelor's degree. A letter of request and an official transcript of credits will be needed for the Registrar to evaluate the acceptable credits. In some cases a substantial block of credits may be accepted from such schools. Credit or No Credit Program Credit-No Credit/Fail may be assigned by faculty members in such courses as student teaching, laboratories, independent studies, and one-hour courses in physical education and music. The opportunity to take elective courses on a "Credit or No Credit" (CR or NC) basis offers students the occasion to develop background in new areas of study without threatening cumulative grade point averages. The following rules govern the program: 1. Juniors and seniors shall be allowed to take elective courses on a credit or no credit basis. No more than one course may be taken in any one term. 2. Electives shall be those courses which will not count toward either general education, major, minors, or cognates. 3. In order to receive credit the student must maintain at least a "C" average in the course. 4. The maximum number of courses allowed per student shall be in relation to his grade point average, as follows: 2.0 - 2.49 - one course 3.0 - 3.49 - four courses 2.5 - 2.99 - two courses 3.5 and above - six courses 5. Following the end of the fourth week of the quarter, the student may not change a course from the credit or no credit system to the regular program. 6. The student may not change a regularly scheduled class to credit or no credit after the first full calendar week of the quarter. Testing Out Procedure Qualified students are allowed to earn credit hours toward graduation by pass– ing the appropriate examinations with a grade of "B" or better. Students interested in testing out must have department chairman approval. Tests can be taken during registration week or during the first two full calendar weeks of classes. The student will be granted hourly credit but will not be given a grade on the transcript. Stu– dents may not test out of a course they have audited and are not able to test out of more than twenty-seven quarter hours. A $10 test fee must be paid in advance. This amount will be applied to the $20.00 per hour fee if the student successfully passes the examination.
