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.
