REGULATIONS.
The Session-Hour.—All courses are measured in terms of the session-hour
as a unit. A session-hour is one hour a week throughout
the regular session of lecture or recitation, or two hours a week
throughout the session of laboratory work, or five hours a week or
five laboratory periods a week for a term of six weeks in the Summer
Quarter.
Maximum and Minimum Number of Session-Hours.—Each student
may undertake each term courses aggregating three session-hours
(with the exception noted in paragraph I).
(I) A student may take four session-hours, provided he (a) has
passed in the regular session at the college last attended courses aggregating
fifteen session-hours, or (b) is in his graduating year and
needs four session-hours for his degree.
Exceptions to the above regulations will be allowed only by special
permission of the Dean of the Summer Quarter and all of the
professors concerned.
Physical training is not counted in the maximum and minimum requirements
detailed above.
Grade.—The grade of a student in any course is determined by his
class standing and his examination grade, combined in such proportion
as the professor in charge of the course in question may decide.
Class standing in any course is determined by the regularity of the
student's attendance upon the lectures (and laboratory or other similar
by his recitation grades, written tests, laboratory work, etc. For
passing in any course a grade of seventy-five per cent. is required.
For certificate regulations, see page 26.
Absence from Lectures may be excused by the professors, but only
for sickness or like providential cause. Any explanation of an absence
which a student has to offer must be made on the day of the
first lecture attended after the absence.
Absence from Examinations will not be excused, except for sickness
on the day of examination, attested by a physician's certificate, or for
other cause which the Faculty by special order may approve. An unexcused
absence is counted as a total failure.
Special Examinations.—A student whose absence from an examination
is excused, in accordance with above, is entitled to a special examination
on a date to be arranged between himself and the professor
in charge of the examination.
Re-examinations.—A student whose grade in any course falls below
seventy-five per cent. but not below sixty-five per cent. may, upon the
written recommendation of the professor in charge, be admitted to
re-examination upon that course during the first two days of registration
of the following Summer Quarter. All applicants for re-examination
must register and pay the fee of $2.50 on or before the first
of June.
