GENERAL INFORMATION

CREDITS AND POINTS. The unit used in computing the amount of work
required for graduation is the credit, which represents one hour of class
work per week for one semester, together with the necessary preparation.
Two or sometimes three hours of laboratory work are considered as the
equivalent of one hour of class work. In order to receive a degree, the
student must gain not only the number of credits required in the course
which he is pursuing, but his studies must reach a certain average of ex-
cellence. This standard is fixed by the grade-point system, which requires
for graduation from any course as many points as credits.
table shows the university scale of grading, together with the number of

points per credit for each grade:

POINTS

GRADE PERCENTAGE PER CREDIT
A (Excellent) 93-100 3
B_ (Good) 85-92 2
OP erarr) 77-84 1
DD * (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
graduating 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.
