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
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
exercises) of the course, and by the quality of his work, as indicated
by his recitation grades, written tests, laboratory work, etc. For
passing in any course a grade of seventy-five per cent is required.
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 to 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.
