Faculty Chooses New Grade Plans; to Begin in 1927
System Already Being User for Class Promotion; Point Subtracted for Flunk
New grade point regulations were adopted unanimously by the faculty of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences at their regular meeting last night. The committee on the improvement of undergraduate scholarship drew on the following system regarding grade points:
1. Beginning with the class graduating in the spring of 1927 and thereafter, the quality requirement for graduation shall be 120 grade points. The grade points must be earned after a student's first enrollment as a junior. For degrees where other than 120 credit hours are required for graduation, the grade point requirement be one grade point per credit hour.
2. For the A, B, degree, advanced-
standing students must also present
120 grade points for graduation, but
must earn in residence a *minimum*
number of grade points equal to the
difference between the number of ad-
judges and the number of exams allowed
and the number of credit hours required
for graduation.
3. In earning these points each hour of A grade carries three grade points; each hour of B grade, two grade points; each hour of C grade. Students who receive two grades to grade points and the grade of F, minus one grade point per credit hour. In no case, however, may a student be assessed negative grade points for more than one failure in an exam. You may also cauten taken prior to Sep. 1928.
4. The above method of counting grade points is to be used wherever the grade point system is used.
From now until the spring of 1927 students may have the option of graduating under the provisions of any or of those rules in force at present.
The grade point system is already used in promotion from class to class and in determining the number of hours a student may carry. It will now be used for graduation, thus making the system more uniform.
According to the committees, the grade of F will be a distinctly lower grade than D, for one point for each credit hour will be subtracted. This will be simpler and provide the standard of scholarship will be maintained.
The following were granted degrees of Bachelor of Arts: Chester Arthur Brewer, Brewer; Bothwell Gaston, Carroll Paul Hurgate, Robert Johnston, Ona Lacile Old, Nelson E. Woodley; the Science of Science in Medicine, Archie Austin Jones and Charles William Stelle.
