1985-1986 Academic Catalog

CR The mark "CR" means that credit has been granted and it also applies to the "Credit or No Credit Program" where credit is 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. NC The mark "NC" means that no credit has been granted. These hours are not used in the computation of grade point averages. AU This is given when a course is audited. A student must attend and participate in a course; however, he receives no credit. W The mark "W" is used to indicate that the student with– drew from the course during the second, third, or fourth week. WP The "WP" is used to indicate that the student is "pass– ing" when he dropped the course during the fifth and sixth week. WF The "WF" is used after the fourth week of the quarter if the student is "failing" at the time of withdrawal. A "WF" is treated in the same manner as the "F'' grade when figuring the grade point average. Points Cedarville College uses the "four-point system" to determine academic averages. Grade points are awarded as follows: Each Hour Grade Points A 4.0 A- 3.7 B+ 3.3 B 3.0 B- 2.7 c+ 2.3 c 2.0 c- 1.7 D+ 1.3 D 1.0 D- .7 F 0.0 The grade point average is computed by dividing the total grade points earned by the total hours attempted. Credit/No Credit may 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/No Credit (CR or NC) basis offers students the occasion to develop back– ground 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/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 to– ward either general education, major, minor, or cognates. 3. In order to receive credit, the student must maintain at least a "C" average in the course.
