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.
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. Attendance on laboratory and performance of written problem or
quiz work are in no way affected by these regulations.
