Attendance Regular class attendance is expected of all students. Classes are conducted in a manner that will encourage academic excellence and the growth of Christian char acter. Because of the tremendous variety of class size and purpose, specific require ments in attendance, the final authority for attendance, and any effect that it might have upon grades rest with the individual faculty member. The specific rules for each class are to be made clear at the first sess ion. Pre-Registration Pre-registration for the fall semester is held each year during the month of May. All students are required to pre-register if they plan to return to school in the fall semester. A $50.00 deposit is payable prior to pre-registration. If the student can cels his pre-registration before August 1, $25.00 is refunded. GRADES Quality of course work is graded on the following scale: A indicates outstanding achievement; B, superior; C, average or satisfactory; D, the lowest passing grade; and F, Failure. A grade of pass, P, may be given in the event of acceptable work in certain limited classes. In the event of a pass, no grade point value is given to the student and the grade is not averaged in computing the over-all grade point average. A system of grade points is used to determine a student's general average or stand ing. Grade points are assigned to grades as follows: A, 4 grade points; B, 3 points; C, 2 points; D, 1 point; F, 0 points. A "W" indicates a withdrawal from a course with a passing grade. Students must submit a written petition to the registrar's office with a recommendation from the instructor to withdraw from a course. Where unexcused absences have accrued, petition will be denied. A "WF" (withdrawal failure) is recorded in cases where withdrawal has not been approved or the student is not doing passing work. A "UW" indicates an unofficial withdrawal. Students who register but do not attend cla~ses are automatically given the grade of "UW" which will influence the grade average the same as an F . The grade point average of a student is obtained by dividing the total number of units attempted at Biola College into the total number of grade points obtained at Biola College. To graduate, a student must have at least twice as many grade points as units in the total credit value of all courses undertaken by him, and a 2.00 grade point average in the major field. A student will be permitted to repeat a course in which he has received either an F or a D grade. All units attempted and all grades received are counted in computing the cumulative grade point average at Biola College. Report cards showing grades will be issued to students from the Registrar's Office. 27
