For the purpose of proper classification all freshmen must take the entrance tests on the day designated in the Calendar. Orientation lectures are given during the first semester of the Freshman year, supplemented by regular periods of supervised study. Registration General Rules Registration means that the student accepts all the rules and regulations established by the school. Students are required to complete their registration on the days designated in the Calendar for this purpose. Students who in either semester register later than a week after classes begin shall pay a late registration fee of $3.00. The normal minimum for which a student is required to register is 16 periods per week; the maximum, 17 periods. (See Curr ricu ums.) ‘— All students register under the direction of the Registrar. Spe' cial problems of registration are referred to the Matriculation Com' mittee. No credit will be given a student for any subject for which he has not registered. Students working part'time are required to arrange the amount of their registration accordingly. No student may register for or enter a course later than four weeks after the beginning of classes, Without special action by the Matriculation Committee. In registering, care should be taken to include the Junior College requirements during the first two years.

Amount of Classwork Special permission to register for less than the normal minimum or for more than the maximum may be granted a student upon the consent of the Matriculation Committee. The privilege of taking more hours than the maximum may be granted to students who have gained an average record of B, or two honor points per credit, in their previous college studies.

Show moreCOLLEGE REQUIREMENTS 27 Change of Registration and Cancellation In case a student desires to discontinue a subject for which he has been registered, whether for the purpose of carrying less work or in order to substitute another subject, he must first have the written permission of the instructors in charge of the courses in question, and bring such permission to the Registrar for approval. Forms for this purpose are provided in the Registrar‘s office. The permission is filed in his office for future reference. A student neglecting to follow this procedure will receive a record of failure in any course dropped. When it is advisable to have a student assigned to another class or course, the teacher shall send him to the Registrar with a writ, ten request for the proper change. The written request will be filed in the ofice. No student may cancel a course after the middle of the semester without definite evidence of a direct conflict between the hours of this course and his other duties. A student who finds it necessary to leave school shall cancel his registration at the Registrar's office. University Courses By arrangement with the University of Minnesota, students may register for courses at the University. But such registration will not be allowed unless the student has a grading of C average or 1 honor point per credit, in his courses at Augsburg. Also, the combined number of credits in any semester must not exceed 17. The credits thus gained at the University may be transferred to Augsburg College and counted towards graduation. Classification In order to be classified in one of the College classes, a student must be carrying a minimum of eight hours of work in which College credit is given. The preliminary classification in the fall is based on the attain' ment of the following number of semester hours together with an equal number of honor points: Sophomore, 24; Junior, 56; Senior, 88.

Show more28 AUGSBURG COLLEGE AND SEMINARY Probation and Elimination There will be a meeting of the Matriculation Committee at the end of each semester to consider students who are doing unsatisr factory work, in order to drop from the rolls those students for whom further attendance will be undesirable. In certain cases, students who fail to attain the minimum schol' astic requirements as to grades and honor points may be per mitted to continue on probation with a limited program during the next semester. Class Attendance Absence and Tardiness Regular attendance in class is required. However, absences for sufficient reasons will be excused. Such reasons are to be stated on the regular absence slips and presented to the instructor upon the student’s return to class. The instructor passes upon the validity of the excuse. He may require that the excuse be signed by a member of the administrative staff. No student is allowed to take any so-called “cuts” or to absent himself from class without handing in an excuse. Classwork lost on account of late registration or because of necessary absence must be made up. The work in each subject shall be assigned by the teacher of that subject, and no credit shall be given until such work has been completed. Whenever a student has been absent from class for a week (two weeks in a one—hour course) without the reason for such absence being known and approved by the instructor, the instructor should notify the Personnel Office so that a proper check'up may be made. Each teacher is required to keep a careful check of attendance in his classes, and it is his prerogative to drop a student from the class roll whenever he feels that the quality of the student‘s work has been too greatly impaired for it to be continued successfully. When a' student is thus dropped from a class, the instructor noti' fies the Registrar's Office by turning in the class card with the grade of F. Four unexcused absences will be a suflicient number in most courses to warrant dropping the student. Absences before and after vacations will be counted double. Three unexcused tardinesses equal one unexcused absence. Students who are tardy must report to the instructor at the end of the class period, or they may remain marked absent. Show less

Absence from Examinations Absence from a final examination without a suflicient reason will result in a grade of failure in the course concerned.

It is well for the student to know in his Freshman year what major line of study he will pursue. Students who are still undecided as to their major choice when they appear for registration in the Junior year, should, before they register, consult with the Matriculation Committee and the heads of the departments concerned, in order to determine their field of major work. When a student enters the Junior year he shall have determined in what field of study he will specialize, so that the work in the majors and minors may be well planned. The major subject is determined by the student‘s aims as well as by his particular interests and aptitudes as shown in the quality of work he has done in the Junior College, where basic courses prerequisite to the major are offered in sequences which lay the foundation for the major work. For major and minor requirements as to hours of credit see departmental statements.
