WITHDRAWAL Astudent who officially withdraws from the university during a semester will receive a grade of "W" in all courses if withdrawal is no later than the end of the 12th week of class. Otherwise, a grade of "UW" or "F" will be given. Acourse which is dropped by aTalbot student doing pass ing work results in a grade of "W," but for a course dropped while one is not doing passing work agrade of "F" will be recorded. Astudent who withdraws may be granted honorable dismissal provided that he has met all his financial obligations ta the university, has secured a withdrawal card from the office of admissions and records and completed all forms for withdrawal and is in good standing at the time. Astudent who withdraws unofficially, that is, he has not completed the proper forms supplied by the director of records, will not receive a refund of any portion of his tuition or fees and will receive a grade of "UW" in each course. If he has no financial obligations to the university, a transcript of his work will be sent to another school upon request. 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 character. Because of the tremendous variety of class size and purpose, specific requirements in attendance, the final authority for attendance and any effect that it might have upon grades rests with the individual faculty member. GRADES (Rosemead students should see Rosemead section of the catalog for further grade information.) Quality of course work is graded on the following scale, with a system of grade points used to determine a student's general grade-point average or stand!ng: Grode: Quality: Grode Points: A 4.00 A- Excellent 3.67 8+ 8 Good 3.00 B2.67 C+ 2.33 ( Satisfactory 2.00 CUnsatisfactory l.67 D+ l.33 D l.00 D0.67 F Failure 0.00 A"W" indicates an official withdrawal from a course and does not affect the student's grade point average. A "UW" indicates an unofficial withdrawal. Students who register but do not attend classes are automatically given I he grade of "UW" which will influence the grade point average the same as an F. Atemporary mark of "RD" (report delayed) will be issued in special cases where an extension is warranted and approved by the dean of student affairs office, (undergraduate students), and the vice president, university student affairs, (gradu ate students). The grade point average of astudent is obtained by dividing the total number of units attempted at Biol □ University into the total number of grade points obtained at Biol □. To graduate, astudent must have at least twice as many grade points as units in total credit value of all courses undertaken by him and a 2.00 grade point average in the major field. Astudent will be permitted to repeat acourse in which he has received either an For Dgrade. Students may repeat courses in which they have earned aCor 8, but must confer with the dean, University admissions and records or the director of records. When a course is repeated the grades processor in the admissions and records office must be notified. The better grade will be the only one used in computing the cumulative grade point average at Biol □ University. The units will be counted only once.
Grode reports will be issued to students from the office of admissions and records. 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. Grode changes are only allowable for computational or recording errors and must be corrected no later than the last day of classes of the next full term semester. AUDITORS Students wishing to audit courses must pursue normal application and registra tion procedures. Undergraduate students cannot register for a course until the second week of the semester. (See financial information for fees.) Talbot students must be college graduates and must pay the same fees as those taking courses for credit. Auditors must receive permission from the instructors of the courses to be audited. PRE-REGISTRATION Pre-registration for the fall semester is held during the month of May, and for the spring semester in late November and early December. All students are required to pre-register if they plan to return to school the next semester. Failure to pre register will mean filing an application for re-admission ($25fee) if the individual The minimum full-time load is 12 units at the undergraduate level. Astudent who is on academic probation may be limited to 12 units or less depending upon his grade point average. Aminimum of ten units must be taken by those living on campus. The minimum full-time load is nine units for those in graduate degree programs. Those carrying less than the full-time load are considered part-time students. A Talbot student is normally permitted to carry amaximum of 18 units each semester. To exceed this maximum load, Rosemead students must petition the director of records. Part-time registration of less than nine units is permitted only after a student has been admitted to candidacy. Rosemead does not admit part-time students to its degree programs. Aunit of credit is generally considered to consist of one class hour (50 minutes) aweek for a semester. In physical education activities, laboratory sessions and in a few other instances, aunit of credit may involve more than one class period aweek. Generally an undergraduate student is limited to seventeenunits of classroom work a semester. After the first semester a student with a grade point average of 3.0 may petition the director of records to carry more than 17 units. In no case will a student be permitted to carry more than 20 units each semester. plans to enroll for the next semester. ACADEMIC LOAD The normal full-time load for a Rosemead student is 12 lo 15 hours per semester, but not less than nine hours. Without the advisor's approval, a student may not carry over 15 units in any semester. Special Note: Full-time enrollment (completing 12 units each semester) is required of the following undergraduate students : internationals, veterans receiv ing full benefits, students receiving social security benefits, and all students receiving financial aid of any kind . When dropping classes, students must be aware that they are required to complete 12 units of credit. Full-time enrollment (completing nine units each semester) is required of the following graduate students: internationals, veterans receiving full benefits, students receiving social security benefits, and all students receiving financial aid of any kind . When dropping classes, students must be aware that they are required to complete nine units of credit. NUMBERING OF COURSES Courses numbered l00 to 299 are lower division (primarily for freshmen ond sophomores). Courses numbered 300 to 499 are upper division (primarily for juniors and seniors). Courses numbered 500 and above are graduate level.
