GRADE REPORTS Grade reports will be issued at the end of each term by the Registrar'sOffice. Anydiscrepancy between this report and the student's personal record must be brought to the attention of the Registrar's Office before the end of the following semester. GRADE CHANGES It is the student 's responsibility to bring any error in grades to the attention of the instructor within one semester following the issued grade. Grade changes are only allowable for computational or recording errors and must be corrected no later than the last dayof classes of the next full term semester. DEAN'S UST Students achieving a semester GPA of 3.6 or better while enrolled in 12 or more units with a cumulative GPA of 3.2 or better, will be placed on the semester Dean 's List. AUDITORS Students wishing to audit must pursue standard applica tion and registration procedures. Auditing students cannot register for a course until after the second week of the semes ter. (See Financial Information for fees .) Acourse taken for audit cannot be repeated for credi t at a later date. Talbot students must be college graduates and must pay the appro priate per unit fee . Auditors must receive permission from both the Registrar 's Office and the instructor of the course. ACADEMIC LOAD The minimum full-time load is 12 units at the undergraduate level. Astudent who is on academic probation maybe limited to 12 units or less depending upon his grade point average. Amini mum of ten units must be taken by those living on campus. The minimum full-time load is eight units for those in graduate degree programs. Those carrying less than the full time load but more than 3 units are considered part-time stu dents. Graduate students carrying 3 units or less are normally considered less than part time. ATalbot student is normally permitted to carry a maximum of 17 units each semester. The normal fultime load for a Rosemead student is 12 to 16 hours per semester, but not less than nine hours. Without the advisor's approval, a student may not carry over 16 units in any semester. Part-time registration ofless than nine units is permit ted only after a student has been admitted to candidacy. Rose mead does not admit part-time students to its degree programs. A unit of credit is generally considered to consist of one class hour (50 minutes) a week for a semester. In physical edu cation activities, laboratory sessions and in a few other instances, a unit ofcredit may involve more than one class period a week. Generally an undergraduate student is limited to 17 units of classroom work a semester. After the first semester a student with a grade point average of 3.0 maypetition the Registrar's office to carry I~20 units. In no case will a student be permitted to carry more than 20 units each semester. A total of six (6) units, may be taken by a student in independent study, and/ or arranged coursework during the student's degree program.

SLC Service Leaming Contract This type of course involves the student in a ministry off campus in the community. Acredi t "CR" indicates the completion of course work with academic performance equal to or higher than the "satisfactory" standard for the degree program (normally "C" 2.00 for under graduate programs and "B" 3.00 for graduate programs.) A"W'' indicates an official withdrawal (within the third to eighth week) from a course and does not affect the student's grade point average. A "UW" indicates an unofficial withdrawal. Students who register for courses but do not attend classes are given the grade of "UW'' which will influence the GPA the same as an "F. " A temporary mark of "RD " (report delayed) will be issued in special cases when approved by the Dean of School of Arts and Sciences (undergraduate students) and the deans of the respective schools (graduate students) . The grade point average of a student is obtained by divid ing the total number of units attempted at Biola University into the total number of grade points obtained at Biola. ( This calculation does not indude courses transfemd from another institution and starts anew for graduate programs.) To graduate with a baccalaureate degree, a student must have at least twice as many grade points as units in total credit value of all courses undertaken at Biola (2.00 GPA) and a 2.00 GPA in the major field. Higher standards are required for graduate degrees, as stated elsewhere in this catalog. REPEATED COURSES A student will be permitted to repeat a course in which either a "UW," a D or an F grade was earned. Courses in which grades earned were either C or B, may be repeated onlywith approval from the Registrar's office. Only courses taken at Biola University will be used to change course grades. In addition , the student must notify the Registrar's Office, the semester a course is repeated. When a course is repeated where a student has received a "UW," a D or F grade the first time, the better grade is the only one used in computing the cumulative GPA, and the units are counted only once. Both grades are shown on the student's permanent record. When a course is repeated where a student has received a C or B grade the first time, both the first and the second grades figure in to the total cumulative GPA computation and both grades are shown on the student's permanent record.
