Classification of Students Regular students are those who have met the requirements for admission. Regular standing implies that the student is enrolled in a degree program and is carrying at least twelve quarter hours of credit. Special students are those who have met most of the require– ments for regular admission but are not enrolled in a degree pro– gram. This classification also includes those students whose high school record or ACT scores show that a period of special coun– seling, instruction, and adjustment is needed before they can be classified as regular students. Part-time students are those who have met all admission re– quirements and are enrolled in a degree program but are carrying fewer than twelve quarter hours. Transfer students are those who have been full time for at least one term at some other institution.

Class At1tenid.a11ce The objectives of class attendance generally include the de– velopment of personal motivation for appropriate attendance and the exposure of students to different attendance procedures. In general it is to be noted that regular attendance is necessary for the student to receive full benefit from his college experience. Since there are several different ways in which ideal class atten– dance may be achieved, official faculty policy allows each faculty member to determine and develop attendance standards which will meet the particular needs of his own class.

Approval of the department chairman, the faculty member teaching the class, the advisor, and the academic vice presi– dent is necessary.
