REGULATIONS
The following regulations, adopted to define the policy of the faculty,
are published for the information and guidance of the students:
1. Practice-courses as well as lecture-courses must be conducted under
the Honor System. The student who submits any work to be graded is considered
to submit it under pledge.
2. When the lecture-course and the associated practice-course are given
in the same term of the same year, no student will be admitted to examination
on the lecture-course until he has completed at least three-fourths of
the practice-course.
3. No student will be admitted to any practice-course unless he is at
the same time pursuing the associated lecture-course, or has already received
credit for the same.
4. No student will be admitted to the graduating examination on a
lecture-course unless he has been present at more than half the lectures in
that course.
5. In the technical courses in Engineering (i. e., courses not given in the
College) term-grades shall not be averaged; except that the term-grades for
Freshman Applied Mathematics may be averaged for the first-year men
only, provided no mark is below 65.
6. The pass-mark in every course is 75. Class standing and written examination
are combined for the term grade in such proportions as the several
professors may determine.
7. No student who fails to make 75 on term-grade shall be granted another
examination on the course until he has again attended lectures on
that course.
8. Special examinations are not given except by reason of sickness on
the day of examination, attested by the written certificate of a reputable
physician, or for other like providential causes. In every case they must
be validated by special vote of the faculty.
9. Any engineering student who fails to attain a passing grade of 75 on at
least 9 term-hours will be placed on probation for the following term, probation
to continue until at least 9 term-hours are passed in one term. No
engineering student shall remain on probation for more than three terms,
whether consecutive or not, in his entire engineering course. If probation
is imposed a fourth time the student shall be suspended.
10. Any engineering student on probation who fails to attain a passing
grade of 75 on at least 6 term-hours and whose average grade on all courses
taken is less than 65 will be suspended. Any engineering student who passes
less than 6 term-hours and whose average grade on all courses taken is less
than 65 will be suspended. Suspension during a session continues for the
remainder of the regular session. Suspension imposed at the end of a session
holds for the whole of a subsequent session, except that such suspension
may be absolved by the successful completion of prescribed work in the
Summer Quarter. No engineering student suspended for a second time
shall re-enter the department.
11. The Dean's List.—A student, who, in any session, passes on all
courses taken, aggregating not less than 18 session-hours, with an average
grade on all courses of not less than 82 per cent, will be placed on the
Dean's List. A student, who, in any session, passes on all courses taken
aggregating not less than 18 session-hours, but who does not average 82
per cent, and who, in any subsequent term, passes on all courses taken,
aggregating not less than 18 term-hours, with an average grade on all 18
term-hours of not less than 82 per cent will be placed on the Dean's List.
A student will be automatically dropped from the Dean's List, if, in any
term, he does not pass on all courses taken, aggregating not less than 18
term-hours, with an average grade on all courses of not less than 82 per
cent. A student dropped from the Dean's List will be again placed on it
if he meets the above mentioned standard for a term. A student on the
Dean's List is not subject to the regulations limiting the issuance of leaves
of absence from the University, nor does absence from any class entail on
such student any penalty, affecting class standing, imposed for absence
alone. Students on the Dean's list must attend all laboratory classes and
must perform all written problem work and take all written quizzes under
the same conditions as all other students.
