Exceptions to this rule may be made under certain conditions determined by the Admissions and Scholarship Com- mittee. No student is permitted to carry work for more than 20 credits per semester. CHANGE or REGISTRATION AND CANCELLATION In case a student desires to make any changes in his registration, he must obtain a form from the Registrar’s office on which he may make application, stating clearly his reasons for desiring the change. Approval of the teachers concerned and the student’s adviser and the Registrar must be obtained before a change will be permit- ted. This procedure is necessary in order to avoid a record of failure in any course dropped. A fee of $1.00 is charged for each change of registration unless the change is necessary because of errors in registration. Changes of registration which involve the adding of courses cannot be made later than two weeks after the beginning of classes except by special permission of the Admissions and Scholarship Committee. No student may cancel a course after the middle of the semester. A student who finds it necessary to leave school before the end of a semester must cancel his registration at the Registrar’s office in order to keep the record clear and to receive an honorable dis- missal. UNIVERSITY Counszs 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 I honor point per credit, in his courses at Augsburg. Also, the combined number of credits in any semester must not exceed I7. Show less

PROBATION AND ELIMINATION There will be a meeting of the Admissions and Scholarship Com- mittee at the end of each semester to consider students who are doing unsatisfactory work, in order to drop from the rolls those students for Whom further attendance is deemed inadvisable. Freshmen who obtain honor point ratios of . 5 or below, Sophomores .6 or below, and Senior College students .8 or below, as well as students with 6 or more credits of F, at the end of a semester are placed on probation during the semester that follows. They re— main on probation until an honor point ratio of I is attained for one semester. A student is not allowed to remain in college on probation for more than two semesters consecutively, except by special permission. In order to be eligible for membership in inter-collegiate ath— letics, a student must have obtained in his last semester a passing grade in at least 12 hours of college work, 6 of which must be C or better. CLAss ATTENDANCE Regular attendance in class is required. No “cuts” are allowed. However, students may be excused from class if there is a valid reason for absence. Valid reasons for absence include illness and trips by extra-curricular organizations sponsored by the school. Students are expected to arrange the hours of part—time employ— ment so that work does not conflict with classes. Any exception to this rule must be agreed to by the teacher of the class affected and must be approved by the Dean of the College. Show less
