Down Slips Only Part Of Report
Down slips are only a small part of the midsemester student-adviser conference program.
Gilbert Ulmer, assistant dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, said the main purpose of midsemester grade reports is to enable each student to have an unhurried conference with his adviser.
Every freshman and sophomore in the College is expected to have a conference with his adviser during the conference period. At this time the student will be informed by his adviser of any down slips he has received for grades of D or F.
The process begins when the registrar sends out to each faculty member cards for all students in his classes.
The instructor then returns the cards of students doing unsatisfactory work, and the cards are given to faculty advisers, along with their advisee's complete scholastic record.
The students receive letters telling them who their adviser is, what his office hours are and where his office is. The student is expected to schedule a conference.
After the advising period, reports of low grades are sent out to the parents of students.
