Show moreTHE ACADEMY "The choice of a school for a capable boy in his ’teen years is a matter of great importance. The plastic and formative years of late adolescence should be guided by instructors who will inspire boys with the ideals of Christian living. In one school the student goes through the work and gets his credit on paper. In another school he does that and more—he gets his life awakened to large ideas and constructive thoughts that mean a greater happiness and a greater success. Augsburg Academy trains young men for college and university work. The majority of the graduates in the last five years have con- tinued their training. Their vision has been broadened to the realization of greater possibilities in life. Admission All students entering the Academy are required to furnish written credentials indicating the amount and character of their previous work, and also when and where they have pursued it. Blanks for this purpose may be secured upon application to the President. The eighth grade or its equivalent must be completed for ad— mission. 'Registration and Class Work Every student is required to register for a definite amount of work. In case a student desires to discontinue a subject for which he has been properly registered, whether for the purpose of carrying less work or in order to substitute another subject, he must first have the per- mission of the Principal and consult the instructor in charge of the work in question. Neglect in doing this will result in a record of failure in any course dropped. When it is advisable to have a student assigned to another grade of work, the teacher shall send him to the Principal with a request for the proper change. Show less

The work in each subject shall be assigned by the teacher of the subject, and no credit shall be given until such work has been done. Tardiness and absence from class Without sufficient cause cannot be made up. Examinations Regular written examinations are held at the close of each quarter in all classes. Absence from examination in any subject, without. sufi’icient cause. shall be regarded as a failure in that subject. SPECIAL EXAMINATIONS. Students may be granted special examination by applying to the Principal and pay— ing a fee of one dollar. This rule applies to conditioned students and to those who have made up work and wish to take examination for credit. ’ HONOR SYSTEM.. Every student is required to sign the following pledge at the end of each examination and test: I hereby declare on my word of honor that in writing this examination I have neither given, received, nor made use of any assistance. Students are promoted on the basis of credits and not on the basis of classes. Grades The alphabetical scale is used in reporting the final grades; each letter constitutes a grade and has the fol- lowing significance: A Excellent %‘ B Good C Fair D Passable‘ E.

No student shall be allowed to continue his work as a regular student if he is conditioned in more than two fifths of his work. Credits Sixteen units of credit are required for graduation from Augsburg Academy. “A unit represents a year’s study in any subject in a secondary school. constituting approximately one fourth of a full year’s work.” Ordi— narily four years are necessary to secure the required sixteen units. The Faculty reserves the right to make special provision for mature students. The work in the Academy is based upon the require-- ments of Department of Education of the State of Min-- nesota. Those who, after entrance, are found below grade in English and in Arithmetic will be given special instruc— tion. 'See Special Course in English and Special Course in Arithmetic.
