1985-1986 Academic Catalog

Withdrawing from College No student should leave Cedarville College without following proper withdrawal procedures. In withdrawing, a student must se– cure an official withdrawal form from the Academic Records Of– fice and return it signed by all the college personnel listed on it. He should give the Business Office at least three days' notice of his intentions to withdraw if he expects to have any money re– funded before he leaves. Any failure in following the proper with– drawal procedures will result in an assessment of $5 being added to the account of the withdrawing student. Transcripts of with– drawn students will be marked as follows: Withdrawal through the fourth week No record on transcript Withdrawal from the fifth through the sixth week - "WP" or"WF" Withdrawal after the sixth week - "WF" except in cases of serious illness or certain approved circumstances The ID card must be returned to the Academic Records Office on the student's last day on campus. The Grading 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 concen- tration. A B c This grade is given in recognition of excellent achieve– ment. It is indicative of work superior in quality and re– veals a thorough mastery of the subject matter. The stu– dent receiving this grade should demonstrate enough interest to do some independent investigation beyond the actual course requirements. This grade indicates work and achievement that are 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 considered better than that achieved by the average student. This is an average grade and is indicative of a satisfac– tory meeting of requirements. D F This grade reveals accomplishment that is inferior in quality and is generally unsatisfactory from the standpoint of course requirements. This is the lowest grade for which credit can be given. This is a failing grade. It indicates very unsatisfactory work, and the course must be repeated for credit. The mark "I" is given when a student has done satisfac– tory work in a class but has been unable to complete all the required work because of extended illness or other extenuating circumstances. Under such circumstances the work may be made up within two full instructional weeks in the term or quarter following the end of the summer school term or quarter in which the "incom– plete" was given. If it is not completed in the prescribed time, the "Incomplete" becomes an "F." Required courses which have been failed must be repeated unless an extension is granted by the instructor.
