2014-15 Catalog

GENERAL ACADEMIC INFORMATION must complete an application and secure signatures of approval from the professor in the subject area, the Division Chair, and the Academic Dean prior to taking the examination. A passing score will result in a grade of “P” (Pass) being posted to the student’s academic record. Credit will be awarded but will not be used to compute the semester or the cumulative grade point average.

Morris College also awards credit for high school courses in which College Entrance Examination Board (CEEB) Advanced Placement (AP) examinations have been given and appropriate levels of competence demonstrated. Students may not take for credit a course or courses for which they have earned advanced placement credit.

A maximum of 30 credits may be earned through credit by examination.

Degree credit will be awarded to students who make a score of “C” or better or the numeric equivalent on all examinations. Grades, credit hours, and quality points will be recorded on the transcripts of students who receive credit by examination. Students who have taken CEEB AP examinations in high school should have their scores sent directly to the Office of Admissions and Records.

Students may confer with their respective advisors for additional information about earning credit by taking the CLEP, Dantes, and PEP examinations. Prospective students may confer with the Director of Admissions and Records regarding CEEB AP credit.

Auditing Any student may be granted the privilege of noncredit enrollment in a credit course upon approval of the student’s advisor and the Academic Dean. This “auditing” privilege carries full rights to class participation but it does not carry academic credit. The auditing privilege is subject to the same fees as credit courses.

Determination of Degree Requirements In the determination of degree requirements, a student must follow the catalog in effect at the time of his/her initial enrollment, provided he/she has been continuously enrolled. However, a student who interrupts his/her studies at Morris College for two or more consecutive semesters must meet all requirements according to the catalog in effect at the time of reentry.

Transcripts Official transcripts from the College are obtained upon written request to the Office of Admissions and Records. All accounts, library fines, fees, and any other obligations to the College must be cleared before a transcript is released. Once a student graduates, one transcript is issued free of charge.

A fee of $4.00 is required for all additional transcripts.

ACADEMIC HONORS President’s List and Dean’s List The President’s List contains the names of all students who attained a semester grade-point average of 4.0, provided the student has completed a minimum of 15 credit hours with no developmental studies courses.
