Semester or session examinations:
All students are required to take the final examination in each
course for which he or she is properly enrolled. Exceptions to
this rule are granted by the department chair and deans. The final
examination must not account for more than twenty-five per cent
(25%) of the final grade. FAILURE TO TAKE AN EXAMINATION DOES NOT
GUARANTEE A GRADE OF I. Students who do not fulfill their
financial obligations will not be allowed to take final
examinations at the end of the semester.
Mid-Semester tests:
All
students are required to take the mid-semester test in each course
for which he or she is properly enrolled.
Incompletes:
A
STUDENT WHO, AS A RESULT OF SICKNESS OR SOME OTHER UNAVOIDABLE
CAUSE, HAS NOT FULLY SATISFIED THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE COURSE MAY
BE GIVEN A GRADE OF I, IF THE SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION OF THE
WORK WILL ENABLE THE STUDENT TO EARN A PASSING GRADE. The
incomplete may be removed while the student is not enrolled, but
it must be removed within six weeks after the beginning of the
next semester in which the student is enrolled. When the work is
completed, the student must secure the necessary form from the
Registrar's Office, take it to the Office of Financial Affairs to
pay the necessary fee for removing incompletes, and then submit
the form to the instructor, who will report the final grade to the
registrar.
IF A
STUDENT DOES NOT ENROLL WITHIN TWO YEARS AFTER RECEIVING THE I,
THE INCOMPLETE BECOMES A PERMANENT (GRADE OF "Z").
Repeating of Courses:
No
student will receive credit for the same course twice. If any
course is repeated in which credit hours are earned, the student's
permanent record will be adjusted by subtracting the hours of the
lower grade form the total hours earned. Credit hours will then be
recorded for only the higher score. Students are responsible for
notifying the Registrar's Office when a course is being repeated.
COURSES IN WHICH STUDENTS HAVE EARNED THE GRADE OF "F" MAY ONLY BE
REPEATED AT JOHNSON C. SMITH UNIVERSITY.
Withdrawal:
Students may withdrawal officially form the University up to the
last day to drop classes as designated on the University calendar.
Transfer Credit:
Students may obtain credit by attending another college or
university if the following conditions are met:
-
The
proposed institution of study must be accredited by one of the six
regional accrediting agencies of the United States and must offer
courses equivalent to those at Johnson C. Smith University.
-
Approval is to be secured form instructors, advisors, and chairs
of the departments at Johnson C. Smith. Application for approval
must be submitted on the proper form obtainable from the
Registrar's Office. When the form has been properly executed, it
is returned to the Registrar's Office. Elective credits may be
received for certain courses which do not correspond to any
offered at Johnson C. Smith, provided approval is first received
from the appropriate department head.
-
Approved courses in which the student receives a grade of C
or better are transferable. QUALITY POINTS AND GRADES ARE NOT
TRANSFERABLE. CREDIT WITH GRADE BELOW C WILL NOT BE
ACCEPTED. Where quarter hours are taken, they will be converted at
the rate of five quarter hours to equal three semester hours.
-
Normally, no more than fifteen hours, EXCLUDING COURSE WORK
THROUGH THE CONSORTIUM, may be transferred.
