BOARD OF TRUSTEES

[October 26

3. A student, irrespective of his grade in any course in which he is then registered, who withdraws from the University at any time for any of the abovementioned reasons shall be entitled at his discretion to take an examination for credit in the course or for credit for only the first half thereof. The grade shall be reported as A, B, C, D, or E.

B. GRADUATION

1. A student who has been in residence at the University for not less than two full semesters, who has met all requirements for graduation (including minimum scholarship requirements) except those which he would fulfill by completing the courses for which he is registered at the time he withdraws from the University in order to enter into active service with the armed forces, may be recommended for his degree provided he has completed the seventh week of that semester, and provided he has a standing in the courses for which he is registered which, if maintained to the end of the semester, would satisfy the requirements for his graduation. If the withdrawal occurs before the completion of the seventh week of such semester, the student may be recommended for his degree upon passing examinations covering the first half of the subject matter of the courses in which he is then registered. 2. A senior in good standing who at any time leaves the University to enter military service and does so enter within ten days, and who lacks no more than one-sixteenth of the total credit hours required for his degree, may, in the discretion of his College and on approval of his major department, be recommended for such degree. But no student should be considered eligible for this privilege who has acquired hours under the seven-weeks or the twelve-weeks rule previously adopted by the University Senate. (a) By "a senior in good standing" is meant one whose progress during his University registrations has been satisfactory to the administrative officers of'his College. Among grounds for dissatisfaction might be negligence in meeting requirements, or scholastic deficiencies. (b) "At any time" shall be interpreted to mean "during any semester of residence or the interim between successive semesters." It is not intended that students who, after these rules become operative, stay out of college for any semester, and who thus do not make continuous progress to their degree, shall be eligible for the privilege extended in these rules. //.

The grade reported shall be that attained in the course up to the time of his withdrawal. 2. Where such withdrawal occurs upon completion of the ninth week of the quarter, or later, such student shall be entitled to receive full credit upon like conditions. 3.
