Every effort should be made to limit outside work of every sort . If outside employment is a n economic necessity for a full-time student that student must consult the Director con~erning the advis-
ability of limiting his or her academic load. Part-time students should consider requirements of their employers when schedu ling academic classes.

Each student is expected to attend all meetings of the courses in which he or she is enrolled. However, the specific attendance policy in each course of study is determined by the instructor.
A student may be held responsible for the work of a class missed. Acceptance of any excuse for an absence and a ny provi sion for make-up will be at the discretion of the instructor. Missed classes , work , or tests may result in a poorer grade , or failure, in the course
Credit and Grades
The Richard S. Reynolds Graduate School uses the semester hour credit value and the four-point grading system as applied to a normal A-F grading scale.
A semest e r hour is the value of one class hour of work a week through the semester . Grade points are given to each semester hour according to the following scale: A( 4) , B(3) , C(2) , D(l), F(O), M(O) , and V(O) The grade point average is determined by dividing the total number of grade points earned by the total number of academic hours attempted . Each of these totals is accumulated term by term.
Special grades also are used as follows: V- failing due to excess absence , W-withdrawn passing, M-withdrawn failing, and X-grade not received from instructor. The Vand M count as Fin the grade point average computation
Academic Procedures
Two other letters are used in reports for The Richard S. Reynolds Graduate School students. I and Y mean that coursework has not been completed by the end of the term. The I, which counts as a failing grade in the grade point average, is given when the reasons for incomplete work are deemed unjustifiable by the instructor. The work is to be made up by the date the instructor specifies, but no later than the mid-term point of the next regular term. If the work is not made up during the grace period, the I will be converted to F unless the instructor has submitted to the Registrar a written request for delay until a specified date which has been approved by the Director. The Y,which does not count as a failing grade, is given when the reasons for incomplete work are deemed justifiable by the instructor. There is no deadline for completion of the work unless the instructor so specifies. In any case, it is the student's responsibility to make arrangements for and progress to the completion of an incomplete course. Part-time students carrying a grade of I or Y may not enroll for further coursework without the permission of the Director.
