Each semester, students preregister for the courses to be taken in the following semester. All preregistration information is submitted to the Registrar through online registration with the approval of the faculty advisor. More information regarding online registration is available in the Centralized Student Assistance Office and on the Registrar’s website. Preregistered courses become registered courses on registration day. Registration day is the first day of a semester, and all students are required to have completed their initial schedule and be registered by that date. No student may register later than the last day for course addition designated in the academic calendar. Students who do not complete registration (including payment of fees) by the end of the last day for course addition will be removed from the college roster, will not be permitted to attend classes, and will not be allowed to register retroactively.
Change of Schedule After Registration Day
For any change of schedule after registration day, including dropping or adding one or more courses, a student must complete the Add/Drop Form available in the Centralized Student Assistance Office and online. Changes are permitted only during the period specified in the college calendar and must be accompanied by the written consent of the faculty advisor and the Registrar or the Dean of Faculty. Students may add a course after the first scheduled class session only with the written permission of the instructor.
Grades and Grade Points
Emory & Henry uses the 4.0 grade point system. In this system, the grade point average (GPA) is determined by using a system of grade points per letter grade, as shown below, weighted according to the semester hours of credit earned in each course. For example, a student who earns an A in a course which has three semester hours credit will get twelve grade points (4 points x 3 hours) for that course, whereas a B earned in a course which has two semester hours credit will get six grade points (3 points x 2 hours). The total of grade points earned each term is divided by the total semester hours attempted, to yield the student’s overall GPA. The overall GPA and the letter grade for each completed course are issued to the student at the end of each semester.
Letter Grade Grade Points per Semester Hour A+ 4.00 A 4.00 A– 3.67 B+ 3.33 B 3.00 B– 2.67 C+ 2.33 C 2.00 C– 1.67 D+ 1.33 D 1.00 D– 0.67 F 0 (Failure) W (Withdrawn) No credit/no penalty
