GENERAL REGULATIONS 51

POINTS
GRADE PERCENTAGE PER CREDIT
A (Excellent) 93-100 3
B_ (Good) 85-92 2
C (Fair) 77-84 1
D_ (Poor) 70-76 0
E (Condition) 60-69 0
F (Failure) Below 60 0

The maximum number of points that can be secured by a student grad-
uating in a course which requires, for example, 120 credits, is 360; the
minimum, 120. It is evident that an average grade of C is necessary for
graduation. Students who, by reason of poor grades, fall behind in the
required number of points are ineligible for graduation. Thus a student
may readily determine his relative progress.

A student in any course requiring 120 academic credits for graduation
must secure 60 grade-points and at least 60 credits in order to absolve the
academic requirements of the first half of his four-year course, and there-
after must secure 60 grade-points and at least 60 credits in order to ab-
solve the academic requirements of the second half of his four-year course.
In other words, the credits in excess of 60 required to secure the 60 grade-
points necessary for the first half of the four-year course will not be counted
toward graduation. A student in any course requiring more than 120
academic credits for graduation must similarly secure half his grade-points
and at least half his credits in order to absolve the requirements of the
first half of his four-year course, etc.

3. ATTENDANCE

Students are required to be present at the opening of the semester and
to remain until the work cf the semester is finished. It is expected that
every student will be present at all of the classes at which he is due. If
at any time a student is absent, he must satisfy his instructors that such
absence is for good and sufficient cause. Any student who is absent from
any class immediately preceding or following Thanksgiving day or the
Christmas or spring recess without an excuse acceptable to the Junior
Dean will be excluded from the semester examinations in those subjects
from which he was absent and will be required to write special examina-
tions during the following semester. This rule also applies to absences at
the opening of the second semester.

4, PHYSICAL ACTIVITY REQUIREMENT

Freshman and sophomore women are required to take three hours of
physical training a week for a total of four semesters. Similarly, every
male freshman and sophomore is required to take three hours of work a
week in either physical education, military science, or band instruction for
a total of four semesters. Normal-school graduates, students who enter
with junior standing, and students who are physically disabled, as certified
by the Department of Student Health, are exempt from this requirement.
Freshmen and sophomores who desire exemption must make application to
the proper authorities at the openine of the academic year; there are no
automatic exemptions.

Students entering from schools where they have had the basic ROTC
course may take the advanced course in the freshman year in fulfillment
of the general option in military science, but without academic credit; or
