to the student’s departure in the spring semester. The student is responsible for having an official copy of her summer transcript sent to the Registrar of Wesleyan College no later than September 1 following the summer session. The maximum amount of semester hours allowed in transfer from another college or university summer session may not exceed in semester hours the number of weeks of the summer session. Grades below C may not be transferred to Wesleyan for credit.
Credit For Summer Work at Wesleyan College. The student who wishes to attend summer school at Wesleyan College may take up to 7 semester hours during one summer term or a total of 15 semester hours in all combined summer terms.
Examinations for the Removal of I Grades. Incomplete work that results in a grade of I must be completed by the following dates: a) for fall semester, by February 1 b) for spring semester, by July 1, and c) for summer semester, by October 1. It is the responsibility of the student to make arrangements for completing all work by the deadline. A student failing to complete all work shall be regarded as having failed in the course, and a grade of F will be recorded by the Registrar.
Graduation Each student must file an application for diploma with the Registrar of the College at the beginning of the semester that precedes the semester in which she expects to complete degree requirements. The Bachelor of Arts degree is conferred at the end of each academic year (May) and, in special cases, in August with the prior approval of the Dean and faculty. M. Ed. and M.B.A. degrees are conferred upon satisfactory completion of all requirements, as announced. A.B. students who have completed all degree requirements, have been certified by the Registrar, approved by the Dean and faculty, and have met all obligations to the College may participate in the commencement ceremony which is held each May. Students who complete requirements in December will graduate in the annual commencement ceremony the following May. Students who complete degree requirements in August will have an August graduation date and may participate in the annual commencement ceremony the following May. Attendance at graduation is required. A student may graduate in absentia only with the written permission of the Dean of the College. Each student’s diploma will bear the student’s legal name at the point of graduation. If the name has changed since admission to the College, the student must submit a court order or other document indicating a legal change of name to the Registrar of the College no later than February 1st prior to graduation in May, or June 1st prior to completion in August; graduate students must submit the court order two months prior to the announced graduation date.
Academic Probation At the end of the semester a student is automatically placed on probation for the next semester if her cumulative grade point average is below 2.00. When a student is placed on academic probation, the Dean of the College gives notice of the fact to the student. The primary responsibility of a student on probation is improvement of academic work. She is expected to take advantage of the following support systems: her advisor, the Writing Center, and the Academic Center. A student on probation should not be absent from any class. Additionally, a student should consult The Student Handbook for other stipulations of academic probation related to student activities. A student will be removed from probation when she attains a cumulative grade point of a 2.00 or higher.
Exclusion/Dismissal from the College A student who is placed on academic probation at Wesleyan College will be excluded if she remains on academic probation for two consecutive semesters of enrollment (not counting Wesleyan summer terms) and if her cumulative grade point average remains below 2.00. Exclusion is understood to mean exclusion for at least the following fall or spring semester; the student may apply for readmission after that time. The student who is excluded at the end of either fall or spring semester may enroll in Wesleyan summer terms to attempt to improve her grade point average. If, during the summer terms, her cumulative grade point average is raised to 2.00 or above, the student will be allowed to reenroll the following fall semester without academic probation. The student may appeal her exclusion to the Student Progress Committee if she chooses; the process of appeal is outlined in the letter of exclusion.
