ACADEMICPROCEDURES
Re gis tration
In registe r ing for co u rses, students are reminded that the set of foundation courses is to be completed before attempting other we rk. Moreover, it is presumed that stucle11t s enrolled in advanced-level courses l\'i I have the necessary academic backgrc uncl.
'>tuclents shall register each term according to the instructions published by The Richard S. Reyno lds Graduate Schoo l and the University Registrar. A ca lendar is published concurrent ly with pert inent dates
O nce registered , students may change their registration (drop / add) according to the p ublished schedule For a regular term, ger e rally acids and withdrawals without aca lemic record may be made during the firs, two weeks of classes After that time onl withdrawals-with-record are possible.
TlK grade to be recorded during the w ithdrawa l-w ith-record period is left to the instructor's cliscr tion.
ro initiate changes in registration, the stu le nt should contact The Richard S. Re) nolcls Graduate School Office promptly.
L' ·ts of Work
\ part-time MBA student may enroll in eitl e r 3 or 6 hours per semester. Part-time stude nts shou ld consider requirements of their emp loyers w h en sc h e duli ng academ ic classes.
t\ full-time st u dent carr ies from 9 to 12 semester hours in one semester. The maximum load for a graduate student is 12 semester hours in one semester.
All full-time students are urged to bear in ni nd that graduate work requires much more time and effort fo r readi n g, research, and organizat ion of mate ria l than does unclergrad u at work. Eve 1y e ffo rt s ho uld be made to lim it o u tside wo rk of every so rt. If 0 uL~ide emp loym nt is a n eco n om ic neces-
sity for a full-time student , that stude nt m us t cons ult the Director concern ing the a dv isability of limiting his or her academ ic load.
Class Atte n dance
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 responsib le for the wo rk of a class missed. Acceptance of any excuse for an absence and any provision 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 (see V grade below).
Cre dit and Grad es
The Richard S. Reynolds Graduate Schoo l u ses the semester hour cred it value and th e fo ur-point grading system as applied to a normal A-F grading scale.
A semester 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 J;(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 accumu lated term by term.
Specia l grades also are us cl as follows : V-failing due to excess absence , W-w ithdrawn passing , M-withdrawn failing, and X-grade not received from instructor. TI1e Vand M count as Fin d1e grade point average computation.

The I , which co unts as a failing grade in th e grade point average, is given when th e reasons for incomplete work are deemed unjustifiabl e by the instructor. The work is to be mad e up by the dat e the instru c t or specifies, but no later th an th e mid-t erm point of the n ex t regular te rm. If the work is not m ade up during th e grace p e riod , th e I will b e converted to F unl ess the in s tru ctor has submitted to th e Registrar a written request for delay until a spec ified date which has been approved by the Dir ector. The Y, which does not co unt as a failing grade, is given when the reasons for in complete work are d ee m ed justifiabl e by the instructor. There is no deadline for comp letion of the work unl ess the instru ctor so spec ifies. In a n y case, it is th e stud ent's r esponsibility to make arrangements for and progress to th e completion of an in complete co ur se.
