Senate Committee
Reminds Students
About 50% Rule
The Senate Committee on
Academic Standards warned stu
dents who may come unde. the
50 per cent rule or under school
action involving dismissal for
scholarship deficiency to transfer
to a curriculum more suitable to
their ability.
The student also was advised
that if he has considered taking a
psychometric test provided by the
College, he should do so now, not
after he has been dropped.
Reminder of Ruling
Along with this warning comes
a reminder of action taken last
May by the College Senate which
restricts the reinstatements of
students who have seen dismissed
by scholarship deficiencies.
A letter to faculty advisors
states that "a petition for rein
statement by a student who has
been dismissed for unsatisfactory
scholarship shall be acted upon
by the Committee on Academic
Standards only upon the recom
mendation of the Dean of the
School in which the student peti
tions to enroll.
Reinstatement Rare
"A student may be reinstated
only in rare instances in which
there is sufficient evidence of ex
tenuating circumstances to justify
such action in the opinion of the
Committee. It should be empha
sized that a change of attitude
on the part of a student is not an
extenuating circumstance."
