Official class membership is determined according to the following schedule: Class Freshman Sophomore Junior Senior Special Quarter hours completed 1-41 42-89 90-134 135 and up assigned The objectives of class attendance generally include the development of personal motivation for appropriate attendance and the exposure of stu– dents to different attendance procedures. In general it is to be noted that regular attendance is necessary for the student to receive full benefit from the college experience. Since there are several different ways in which ideal class attendance may be achieved, official faculty policy allows each faculty member to determine and develop attendance standards which will meet the particular needs of the course. In order for students with ineconcilable conflicts to be able to complete graduation requirements on schedule, it sometimes is necessary to allow instruction in an out-of-class setting. To take a course out-of-class: 1. The student must be at least a junior in classification (have earned 90 quarter hours or more). 2. The course must be 200, 300, or 400-level. 3. Approval must be obtained by the department chairman, the faculty member teaching the class, the advisor, and the academic vice president. Out-of-class course approval forms are available in the Academic Rec– ords Office. Many of the major fields of study include opportunities to receive credit for supervised, on-the-job activities. Interested students should contact re– spective department chairmen for details.
