The request form for guided research may be obtained in the dean's office. No student will be allowed to register for guided research without a written proposal and the approval form signed by the supervising professor and the academic dean. Guided research will require the same equivalencies of work per semester-hour credit as would be required in a regular class, i.e. nine hours of work per week for three semester hours of credit. The student will submit some written work in conjunction with the guided research. Letter grades are issued for guided researches.
Any student has the right to appeal a grade to the basic degrees committee.
Such an appeal should be made in writing to the academic dean and must state clearly why the student believes the grade is unfair. This appeal should follow procedures outlined by the academic dean. A student may retake any class for which a failing grade F was earned. When a passing grade has been earned, the F will no longer calculate in the grade point average, but will still be retained on the transcript as a record of the class being attempted. Academic Standing A student is found to be in good standing when he or she is making continuous progress toward the degree program of choice and is achieving at least the minimal grade point average for their program each semester.
