EXAMINATIONS AND REPORTS.

Written Examinations are held at the end of each term covering the
work of that term and the results of these examinations, combined with
the student's class standing, give his Term Grade.

Regular Reports are sent out at the end of every term to the student's
parent or guardian. These state for each course followed the term grade
and the number of absences. Further comment may be added by the
Dean or the Professor, if it appears probable that such comment would be
helpful to the student. Parents are urged to examine these reports carefully,
and to exert such parental influence as may seem needed to establish
and confirm the student in habits of industry and order.

Special Reports are sent to parents at the end of each month for
students delinquent in attendance or studiousness and for delinquents only.
When a student is making steady progress and showing due diligence in
his work only the regular reports are sent. The receipt of a special report
is evidence that, in the judgment of the Faculty, prompt and pointed
parental admonition is urgently needed.

Re-examinations are held during registration week in September. To
these re-examinations the Faculty will admit, on the recommendation of
his professor, any student of the previous session who in any course fell
below the pass mark of seventy-five per cent., but made at least sixty-five
per cent. at the regular examination. For every such re-examination
the student must pay to the Bursar on or before July 15th a fee of $5,
which fee is in no case returnable. The student who fails in any course
and does not make up his deficiency on re-examination will be required to
register anew for that course and attend the lectures and pass the regular
examination, unless relieved by special vote of the Faculty. The Dean will
send to every student eligible for re-examination a programme of the dates
of the September examinations.
