Revisions of Governance Manual Due to Implementation of Plus/Minus
Grading System |
|
| |
Senate approved a series of motions: |
|
| |
Motion #1: Any reference to a letter grade "average" in the GM
be converted to its numerical equivalent (with the exception of final exam
exemption, see Motion #2). |
|
| |
Motion #2: The final examination policy of the University
shall permit a faculty member to excuse a student from the final exam
providing the student has attained excellent achievement (a grade above A-)
prior to the final exam. |
|
| |
Motion #4: Any reference to a letter grade minima be changed
to the minus version of that grade (with the exception of minimum earned
credit section on p. 93 under "Grading and Quality Point System"). In
addition to the specific references listed in the motion, a
Piperberg/Stameshkin amendment was made that students must receive a grade of
C- or better in English Composition (ENGL 110) and Speech (COMM 100). |
|
| |
Motion #5: A student has the privilege of repeating at
Millersville courses for which he/she had previously received a grade at
Millersville. Ordinarily this only applies to courses in which grades of D+,
D, D-, F, WP, WF, I, Z or U have been received. A student could, with
advisor approval, elect to repeat a course in which an earlier grade of B+,
B, B- or C+, C, C- was earned. |
|
| |
Motion #6: University Policy accepts "D-" as a minimum earned
credit. There are certain general education and department major competency
requirements that are only satisfied by a higher minimum grade. If a student
earns less than this higher minimum grade in such a course, the credits for
this course will count toward completion of university credits, but MIGHT not
count toward completion of general education and department major requirements.
