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 is estimated at
20 points; the written examination at 80 points.

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. A student whose term-grades average less than 40 for all the courses
in which he is registered shall be at once dropped from the rolls. If his
average is above 40 with no mark above 65, he is placed on probation.

10. A student on probation, who in the next term makes less than 65 on
each and all his courses, shall be at once dropped from the rolls.
