More Information
Academic Standing
Class Attendance: Students are expected to attend all assigned classes. If illness or other extenuating circumstances prevent attendance, it is the student’s responsibility to make up the work. To expedite this, the student should contact the instructor involved and/or the Academic Dean. If the absence, for whatever reason, makes it impossible for the student to complete the work, withdrawal from the course may be necessary.
Administrative Withdrawal: A student who has stopped attending all classes at the 10th week of the semester will be academically withdrawn from the College.
Grades and Quality Points: Grades are issued at the end of each semester using a letter system and a quality point value:
| Grade | Quality Points | Grade | Quality Points |
| A | 4.00 | C- | 1.67 |
| A- | 3.67 | D+ | 1.33 |
| B+ | 3.33 | D | 1.00 |
| B | 3.00 | D- | .67 |
| B- | 2.67 | F | 0 |
| C+ | 2.33 | S | 0 |
| C | 2.00 | U | 0 |
The grade I is assigned to a student who, for good reason, is unable to complete the work for the course. Normally, all work must be completed within one month after the end of the semester; however, with the concurrence of the Academic Dean, this deadline may be extended by the instructor. Work not completed by the established deadline will warrant the assignment of an F for the course.
W is given when a student withdraws from a course and completes the withdrawal form. This may be done up to the 10th week of the semester. Withdrawal after the 10th week results in an F. Students who discontinue attending classes and do not officially withdraw may be assigned Fs in all courses and will not be allowed to continue at Maria College.
To determine a student’s academic standing, a quality point system is used. This is computed by dividing the total number of quality points by the total number of credit hours taken. A quality point average of 2.0 is required for graduation.
Change of Grade: The instructor of a course has the sole and final responsibility for any grade reported for that course. Any change of grade (except removal of an Incomplete), after the grade is on record in the Office of Student Records, must be requested within three months after the end of the semester in which the original grade was issued.
