PROBATION AND DISMISSAL

SCHOLASTIC PROBATION

Students who are not doing satisfactory work are placed on scholastic
probation as a means of emphasizing for them the necessity of analyzing
their situation to determine the cause of poor work.

Any student failing to maintain a 1.5 average or receiving two or
more academic grades below C during a quarter will be placed on proba-
tion until scholarship is satisfactory. A student enrolled for less than fif-
teen quarter hours who fails to maintain a 1.5 avergage will be placed on
probation. The student may remove himself from probation by passing
at least ten hours with a grade of C or better in one quarter.

The grade of I (Incomplete) is considered to be an F for purposes
of determining probationary status. As soon as the instructor changes this
grade, the student's name will be removed from the probation list, provid-
ed the grades then justify it.

Although scholastic probation normally is based upon final grades
and begins the following quarter, a dormitory student or a resident student
who drops below the normal load of fifteen hours is placed on probation
effective on the date on which he dropped below the minimum and is as
of that date ineligible to participate in college-sponsored activities.

Any student who is on probation at the close of the spring quarter
must attend summer session at West Georgia College and remove himself
from scholastic probation if he wishes to attend the college the next fall
quarter. Otherwise he must remain out until the winter quarter.

A student on probation at the end of his last previous quarter in
attendance shall not be eligible to participate in activities requiring public
performance or to hold a student office. Eligibility is determined by final
grades. Mid-term grades neither place the student on probation nor re-
move him from it. Students on probation shall not be allowed to register
for courses which require or which might require public performances
(e.g., choir; English 211, Introduction to Drama; English 204, Argumen-
tation and Debate). Music majors are permitted to enroll in such courses
if their major requires it but are not permitted to participate in off-
campus performances.

Students on probation are not eligible for employment as student
assistants. Those who engage in part-time employment outside the college
should relinquish such employment.

SCHOLASTIC DISMISSAL

A student on scholastic probation must remove himself from such
probation during the next succeeding quarter. If he fails to do so, he will
be dismissed and must remain out one quarter. A student who is dismissed
for the first time may return on probation in any quarter except the fall.
If the first dismissal occurs at the end of the winter or spring quarter, the
student may elect to enroll for the next quarter rather than to remain out.
Should he fail to remove himself from probation, this will be considered
his second dismissal.

A student who has twice been dismissed may not again be admitted
as a candidate for a degree. This regulation shall not, however, constitute
a bar to the student's admission to particular courses after the lapse of a
time interval sufficient to obtain evidence that his scholastic disabilities
have been overcome.

30

A student failing in all his work will be dismissed and will not have
the option to return for the next quarter. He may apply for probationary
re-entrance in any quarter except the fall.

A full-time student who is dropped for excessive absences from two
courses will be dismissed from college for the remainder of the quarter.

DISCIPLINARY PROBATION

The college reserves the right to place a student on probation when
his conduct becomes detrimental to himself or to the college. Such proba-
tion may subject the student to withdrawal from student activities.

DISCIPLINARY DISMISSAL

A student may be asked to withdraw from the college when, in the
opinion of the appropriate disciplinary committees, he seems to be unable
to adjust to campus life and the discipline of group living, indicates un-
willingness to profit by the course of study offered by the college, or con-
ducts himself in such a way as to reflect unfavorably upon the reputation
of the college community. Some examples: continued disregard of warn-
ings for breaking minor rules, failure to keep rooms in order, disregard
and defiance of dormitory rules and officials, conduct on campus unbe-
coming ladies and gentlemen, activities and associations off the campus
detrimental to college reputation.

A student on both scholastic and disciplinary probation at the end
of any term will not be able to return for the following quarter, except
that should this occur at the end of the spring quarter, he may be allow-
ed by special permission to the dean of the college to attend summer
session in order to be eligible for the fall term.

ABSENCES

Students are expected to attend classes faithfully. The instructor will
determine specific absence policy in his class. He may, if he deems the
absences justified, permit the student to remain in class, or he may drop
him. If extraordinary circumstances exist, the student so dropped may
appeal to the Absence Committee for reinstatement. Such reinstatement
has seldom been granted.

A circular will inform the instructor of absences resulting from col-
lege-sponsored activities. A student not well enough to attend class should
report to the infirmary and should present an infirmary slip on return to
class. The student is expected to explain all other absences to his in-
structor.

A non-dormitory student who must be absent more than three suc-
cessive days is required to notify the Dean of Students immediately.

In no case may a student miss more than twenty-five per cent of his
classes (13 absences) and receive credit for the course. Since only under
extraordinary and justifiable circumstances would a student reach this
limit, he can be given a WP (withdrawal passing) or WF (withdrawal
failing).

If a student is dropped by his instructor for excessive cuts he is
placed on scholastic probation; if he is dropped from a second course
he is dismissed from the college for the remainder of the quarter. (See
"Scholastic Probation" and "Scholastic Dismissal.")

A student unable for legitimate reasons to continue attendance in
a class should formally drop the class or withdraw from college. (See
"'Course Changes" and "Withdrawals.")

GRADE REPORTS

Grade reports for every college student are sent by the registrar
to parents or guardian at the end of each quarter.

At the middle of each quarter the registrar sends to the parents or
guardian a report of each first-quarter freshman and all other stu-
dents who fall below a C average in any course.

The student and his parents are notified at the middle and end of
any quarter if the student has placed himself on scholastic probation.

EXAMINATIONS

Examinations are held at the end of each quarter in accordance with
a definite schedule. No regular examinations may be given in advance
of the date scheduled unless authorized by the dean.

SPECIAL EXAMINATIONS

Permission must be obtained from the Dean of the College to take
an examination outside of the regular schedule. Only in very exceptional
circumstances will such permission be granted.

GRADES

The following grading system is used:

Grade points
per credit hour

A Superior 4

B Above average 3

C Average 2

D Poor 1

F Failure

S Satisfactory

U Unsatisfactory - '

W Withdrew

WP Withdrew, passing

WF Withdrew, failing

AU Auditor

The grades of S and U are reserved for some courses which carry
credit but no grade points, such as Education 420-421-422 (Apprentice
Teaching) and certain seminar courses. These courses are not considered
in computing grade point ratio.

A student who officially withdraws from a course will receive a
grade of W (withdrew), WP (withdrew, passing), or WF (withdrew
failing). The grade of W is given when the student withdraws before
the instructor has evidence of the quality of the student's work in the
course. A grade of WP is given only when the work already done in the
course is of C quality or higher. The W and WP grades are not con-
sidered in computing grade point averages. The WF grade is counted as
an F. Those who drop out without clearing through the dean's or the
registrar's offices or who are dropped for excessive absences will receive
an F.

The grade I (Incomplete) indicates that the student has been unable
to complete the work of the course. It is given only when the work al-

32

ready done has been of an acceptable quality. The requirement must be
completed during the next quarter in residence. If the incomplete grade
is not removed at that time, the grade becomes an F.

The grade point ratio is the grade average made by a student on
all work for which he has enrolled. It is obtained by dividing the total
number of grade points earned by the total number of quarter hours
attempted.

THE DEAN'S LIST

Students who achieve a grade point ratio of 3.5, on a minimum of
15 quarter hours, with no grade below B, will be placed on the dean's list.

CLASSBFICATION

Freshmen are those students who at the beginning of the academic
year have less than 40 quarter hours of academic credit with an average
grade of C or better; sophomores, those with 40 or more credit hours of
academic credit with an average of C or better, but less than 85; juniors,
those with 85 or more quarter hours of academic credit with an average of
C or better, but less than 130, seniors, those with 130 or more hours of
academic credit with an average grade of C or better. Students retain
their class designation during the academic year. No changes in classifi-
cation are made between the quarters of the academic year.

SOCIAL ACTIVITIES AMD CLUB ACTIVITIES

1. Request forms for permission to schedule social events and club
activities are to be obtained in the Student Government offices and must
be filed one week in advance of the activity. The Student Government
Association will publish a weekly schedule of student activities.

2. Permission for social activities and for club activities must be
approved by the faculty adviser.

3. Social functions to be held on week-ends are limited to one each
quarter for each organization. In addition to this, an organization may
have one yearly social event during the school w^ek. This event is to be con-
cluded by 9:30 p.m.

4. Whenever the gym or any other room is used for college affairs
the group or organization sponsoring the affair is held responsible for
the removal of decorations and for the arrangement of the building for
the next scheduled class following the entertainment.

5. Club meetings may be held in the evening during the week if
adjourned before 9:30 p.m.

6. One formal dance is held each quarter. These dances may begin
at 8 p.m. and must end at mid-night. They are restricted to students,
faculty and alumni, and their guests, except by special permission from
the Advisory Council.

All concessions (selling flowers, selling pictures, operating coatroom,
etc.) will be the responsibility of the sponsoring organization, which in
turn can delegate all or any part of this responsibility to other organi-
zations if it so wishes.

7. No social functions may be scheduled on any night preceding
quarterly exams.

8. The chairman of the Assembly Committee is in charge of all
college assembly programs. All matters pertaining to public programs

33

and the scheduled use of the auditorium for pubhc exercises of a
general college nature should be cleared through the chairman of this
committee.

9. Each organization is limited to one fund-raising activity (such as
a dance or talent show) during the school year. A hmit of one dollar
($1.00) may be charged for admission.

Clubs wishing additional money raising projects beyond the one
already granted must request and receive permission from the Student
Government Association who in turn will base its decision on the merit
of the project for which the funds are desired and any conflict with other
scheduled events.

10. Soft drinks are not to be sold by individuals, group organizations
or visiting groups at the auditorium for any event.
