GENERAL REGULATIONS 53

quirement thereby becomes a requirement, and students may not meet the
requirement in any other way, but must remove failures in such subjects
unless relieved by the Executive Committee as provided in section 5 above.
Seniors, including those registered for graduate credit, who incur failures
during their last semester of residence must remove such failures in the
regular way; this rule applies also to incompletes and conditions incurred
during the final semester.

ELIGIBILITY AS AFFECTED BY FAILURES. A student who has a failure
on his record shall be eligible to participate in extra-curricular activities:
(a) when he shall have repeated the subject with a satisfactory grade,
or (b) when he shall have satisfactorily completed, in a subsequent semes-
ter or summer session, another subject approved as a substitute by the
Executive Committee, or (c) when, in case the failure is in a subject
certified to the Registrar by the Dean to be a free elective, he shall have
completed a subsequent semester of satisfactory work on a full program.
However, to regain eligibility for intercollegiate athletics under (b) or (c)
a full year of satisfactory work must be completed, as provided by the
Inter-Collegiate Conference rules.

CONDITIONS. The grade of condition is given to a student who has
carried a subject throughout a semester with a passing average, but who,
failing in his final examination, reduces his semester average to some
numerical standing between 60 and 69. A condition must be made good by
passing a special examination during the student’s next succeeding semes-
ter of residence at the University or it becomes a failure, which must be
removed as specified above. If a student repeats in class a subject in which
he has incurred a condition, he is excluded from taking the condition
examination and must complete the subject in the regular way. Former
students not in residence are permitted to enter condition examinations
only in case they left the University in good standing. No grade-points
are awarded for conditions made good.

The usual way of removing a condition is by a successful final exami-
nation taken on the day fixed by the rules. If, however, in a course involv-
ing both laboratory and classroom work, the condition has been incurred
on account of unsatisfactory laboratory or report work, it may be removed
by absolving such substantial requirements as the instructor in charge of
the course may prescribe. The removal of this type of condition will take
effect on the official date for the removal of conditions. When a condition
in such a course becomes a failure, the student may pass the course by
repeating that portion of it (laboratory or classroom work) in which the
condition was originally incurred, provided the instructor in charge autho-
rizes this arrangement in advance.

INCOMPLETES. Incompletes are given to students who have carried a
subject successfully until near the end of the semester and have then been
compelled to quit work on account of illness or other cause beyond their
control. Incompletes are not given to students who stay away from exam-
inations unless they prove to the instructor that they were prevented from
attending as indicated above. In default of such proof they will be failed
or conditioned; even with such proof, if their term work has convinced the
instructor that they cannot pass, they will usually be failed or conditioned.
A subject marked incomplete must be completed during the student’s next
succeeding semester of residence at the University or it will lapse into a
failure, unless the time limit has been extended by the Executive Commit-
tee. A student may not graduate with an incomplete incurred during the
second semester of his senior year.
