Graduate Credit
Upon approval of the course instructor, undergraduate students with senior status and a minimum GPA of 3.0 may enroll in and receive undergraduate credit for 500-level graduate courses which have been approved for the Emory & Henry master’s degree programs. If courses are used as part of the major, permission of the department chair is required. An Emory & Henry graduate who enrolls in an Emory & Henry master’s degree program may apply to that program up to 6 semester hours of appropriate 500-level course work which counted toward the baccalaureate degree.

Class Attendance
Emory & Henry College holds the philosophy that regular class attendance is a necessary part of the educational program of its students. Thus there are no class “cuts” at Emory & Henry. Failure to conform to the policy of the college on attendance, formulated as specific attendance requirements for each course, may result in the instructor’s lowering the course grade or assigning a grade of F. On recommendation of the instructor, the Committee on Academic Standards may dismiss the student from the course and assign a grade of W, WP, WF, or F, depending on the time in which the request is made by the professor. Habitual class absence may result in dismissal from the college by action of the Committee on Academic Standards. When a class is missed, the student is responsible for material missed because of the absence. Participation in college-sponsored activities does not release one from class responsibility. Students should consider carefully the number of activities in which they engage, especially those which may require class absences. Except in cases of emergency or illness, the student should advise the instructor of the expected absence before it occurs.
Emory & Henry College is primarily a residential college with a majority of its undergraduate students living on campus. Therefore, it is the intention of the college to remain open during inclement weather conditions. Under rare circumstances, such as severe inclement weather, a natural disaster, or other emergency, the college may delay the opening of college activities or suspend operations early. Only the President or the Vice President for Academic Affairs or their designated representatives may authorize changes in the regular operating schedule.* The decisions to cancel or delay classes and/or cancel or delay the opening of offices because of inclement weather will be made by 6:30 a.m. on the day of the college schedule change.
