FOREWORD
During past years, the rapid growth of the Normal School, the
revision of its curricula, the addition of departments, the development of extra-curricular activities, the advance in methods of instruction, and especially the widening of scope and change in student personnel attendant upon the attainment of collegiate rank,
have necessitated continual changes in regulations and procedures.
These changes have been enacted from time to time, as occasion
demanded, by the Faculty, by the Executive Council, by the Student
Body, and by other college organizations. The record of these
enactments is widely scattered through the minutes of various
bodies and many well-recognized procedures are entirely unwritten
and supported only by tradition. It is the aim of this compilation
to bring together, in one document, all rules, regulations, and customary procedures in form for convenient reference in order that
Faculty and students may be fully informed on these matters to
the end that uncertainty and confusion may be avoided and effective co-operation insured.

5. As far as practicable, grading is done according to some
form of score-point system, and the standing of each student in a
class is determined by a distribution of the term scores of the class.
6. Grade marks are af;signed according to a fi\ e-point plan.
A, superior, B, excellent, (above middle half), C, middle half,
D, passing, but below mi<lc.lle half, E, fdilure, requiring repetition
of the course, I, incomplete or conditional, W, dropped.
7. In ca.:.e a student is given a mark of I, or incomplete, the
in~tructor will file in the office a supplementary report as soon as
the student removes the condition. If the student fails to remove
the condition before the middle of the following semester, the
grade automatically becomes an E.
b. Every faculty men1ber is authorized to drop from his cla::,s
roll any student v.·hose attendance he considers so irregular as to
v.arrant such action, or "\\hose scholar:::ihip is unsatisfactory. The
facult~ mf'mber gives notice of such action by filing in the office
a car l for change of classification.
9. A student v:ho is dropped from a class for unsatisfactory
scholarship after th middle of the semester will be given a grade
of E for the course. This rule applies also to the student who

For e>..ample, a grade of A in Sociology, a 3 hour course, adds
nine points to the student's grade point score, while a grade of C
will add only three points, and a grade of D, no points. A gradf'
of E would subtract three points fron1 the grade point score.
2. Grade points 'vill be given only at the end of the semester,
when the final grades are as),,igne<l.
3. In order that a student may be eligible for graduation

REGULATIONS

ANll

PROCEDURES

REGULATIONS AND PROCEDURES RELATING MAINLY TO
STUDENTS
Decorum

1. Tempe State Teachers College expects the conduct of students to conform to the generally accepted standards of society.
2. The worthy member of the Student Body finds in loyalty
to Tempe Teachers College a si....fficient motive to restrain him or
her from any indiscretion which n1ight bring unfavorable criticism
upon the College, or upon the student as a future member of the
teaching profession.
3. Faculty members believe that it is safe to place such re~
lianc< upor. thE' good will, sound judgment, and co operative spirit
of tht. student body and upon the healthy morale of the entire
college co1nmunity as to mak it unnPcessary to formulate for

college students specific laws of conduct, but they recognize the
need of certain simple rules of procedure in order to define the
rights and privileges of all concerned, both faculty and students,
u I to~ cuH that cot rt ou · kf< r nc to the rights of others which
operates to insure harmonious, comfortable, and efficient co opera
tion with a minimum amount of friction or confusion. On this
basis, '" hatever rules the Faculty or the Student Body Council have
seen fit to a<lopt are designed and intended to regulate rather than
to restrict.
4. It is the opinion of the Faculty that in this compilation of
rules and procedures it is not out of plac to includl. advice upon
certain topics which seem to be of an order more or less funda
mental, ·ind to remind students that their personal habits may have
a vitally important bearing upon the securing or retention of teach. .
ing positions. Public opinion is alw.iys inclined tli' be severely
critical of the habits of those ¥:ho are chosen to educate the
childrf'n of th<> state.
3. It is agreed by the Faculty and the Student Council that
there shall be no smoking on the campus. The area within the
limits of the ground recognized as belonging to Alpha Hall is ex
empt from this rPgulation.
Health Precautions.

1. Students are advised to gi\e careful consideration to the
matter oi keeping in fit physical condition by the adoption of
regular habits of eating and sleeping and tl e habit of daily physical
exercise.
2. Before registration, every student must file in the office or
present to the registrar, under date not more than thirty days pre~
ceding the date of registration, the certificate of a physician, pre·

TEMPE STA fE

TEACHERS COLLEGE

11

ferably the family physician, to the effect that the applicant for
registration is free from tuberculosis and other communicable
disease, and that the applicant is physically able to carry the pre
scribed program of college studies. Blank forms for this certificate are furnished by the office.
3. The Faculty reser\•es the right to require additional physical
examination of any student at any time.
4. Medical care. In all eases of minor illness requiring
medical attention, dormitory students will be cared for in the dor
mitory infirmaries or in the college hospital and the services of a
competent physician will be furnished free of charge upon the
order of the head resident or other competent authority. In cases
of serious or protracted illness, medical attendance will be furnished
for the first week only of such illness, after which period the
College will no longer assume financial responsibility for the ser
vices of physician or nurse. The management will in no case
assume financial responsibility for unauthorized office calls for
the service of any physician whatever.
5. Students residing outside of campus limits are not entitled
to any free medical attention, nor will any special meals be served
to those students.
Concerning the Wise Uae of Time

1. Students entering the College for the first time frequently
fail to realize the importance of the economical use of the time at
their cli~po~·1l, and th1c:: O"\(l"S ,?"ht is a not uncommon cause of fai ire
in scholarship. The majority of the courses offered require the
actual presence of the student in the classroom only two or three
hours a \\ •Pk, but the student c::hould clearly understand that re
sponsibility for the \Vork of the course does not end \vith punctual and
regular attendance, but that each hour of class work pr supposes two
hours of outside preparation; therefore a student carrying the
normal load of sixteen units should so plan a program of preparation as to provide thirty or thirty-five hours of study or reference
reading or other preparation each week. The vacant hours of the
<>tudcnt's time table bhoulcl not be misused. The student houl l
recognize that those periods are to be reserved for work.
0

REGULATIONS CONCERNING COLLEGE CREDIT
1. The credit Talue assigned to a given course represents a
definite amount of successful effort on the part of the student
along the lines and '\Vithin the limits prescribed in the description
or definition of the course. The credit unit is the measure by
which is determined the qualification of the student for diploma

12

HEGULATIONS AND

PROCEDURES

or degree, and it is the standard of exchange in transferring work
from one college to another.
2. The college year is divided into two semesters of nine
teen \veeks each.
3. The unit of credit is the semester-hour which represents
one fifty-minute hour of class work per week for one semester of
ninteen weeks, supplemented by such additional class, library, or
laboratory work as the given course may require. As a rule, two
hours of preparation are required for each hour of class work.
From two to three hours of unprepared work per week are required for the equivalent of one semester-hour of credit in such
courses as physical education and typing. Each three-hour course,
therefore, requiru: a total of nine hours of 'vork each week, three
hours in the classroom and six hours outside preparation. The
distribution of thP time for laboratory courses varies, but will
~how approximately the same total.

4. The atandard requirement for graduation in any threeyear curriculum is ninety-seven semester hours of credit, the normal load for first year students being sixteen units each semester,
for second year students, fifteen and one-half units, and for third
year students, seventeen units each semester.
5. Tht ~tdndartl requ1reme1.t for the ciegree is one hun !red
twenty... sevc n sen1Pster-hour units, and the norn1al load for fourth
year studtnts is fifteen units per seme<:ter.
6. The minimum load for a student regularly enrolled in an)'
curriculum is twelve units. In particular cases, by special action
of the Credentials Committee. a student may be permitted to carry
a lighter load for one semester.
7. Excess load. Special faculty action is necessary to permit
a .:;tudent to register for an amount of work in excess of that pre
<:crd I in a gh1 n cu1riculum. Application.:; for >.uch excess work
must be made by v. ritten petition to the Credentials Committee,
and must give a detailed statement of the work regularly assigned
and of the additional work desired, together with the student's
reasons for the special consideration. As a rule, no consideration
will be given to such a request unless the record of the applicant
shows an average of B or better for the semester immediately
preceding.
~.
Petitions to the Credentials Committee must be made on
th<> regular blank form \\hich may be obtained from the Secretarv
of Recor< s. and th"Y arP filP< 'vith the SecrPtary of Records 1
Room ~. SC'ience Building. The petition :-houl l g·i\ P all nece!:>sary

data in sufficient detail to enabl(. the co1nmittee to obtain an ac
curate under5td.ndint., of the merits of thr-. case.
9. No credit ia allowed for experience in teaching. Every
candidate for graduation from any curriculum is required to teach
one year in the training school under supervision of the critic
teachers. Teachers who present satisfactory evidence of success
ful experience may substitute five hours of academic work for the
second semester of practice teaching, provided the first semester
of practice teaching is satisfactory.
10. No credit is gi,..en for extra-curricular activities. Tht.
practice of assigning credit to certain activities outside the curri
culum was discontinued by the Executive Council, June 2, 1928.
11. At least t\vo-thirds of the \\Ork of a stu ! •nt in tl e junior
and senior years :;:hall consist of ach·ancf'1 courses open only to
juniorc; and senior,,.
12. Not n1ore than one-fourth of an~ curriculum leading to a
degree or to a diplomd. shall be t'lken 1n e),,tension cla,,ses or by
correspondl nee, and not 1nor than onl• half of this sh1.ll be done by
correspondence.

REGULATIONS RELATING TO ATTENDANCE
Attendance at classes is an important part of the basis
for the as~ignment of college credit to a given course, thereforf'
certain rules are necessary in order to ~ecure uniformity of prac
tice and to protect the credit value of courses.
2. .A..ny instructor is authorized to drop from his clash an)
:-.tudent whose attendance is so irregular as to \varrant this action
from the standpoint of credit value. The argu1nent for this rule
is that a student \vho misse~ a consid rable portion of the class
work prescrib d for a given coursE. thereby fails to fulfill the
attf'ndance requirement of the coursP and should be leniPd thf'
ere lit carrie I by the coursf
1.

3. Any inhtructor b authorized to de luct fron1 the grade or
from the term core of any student an amount to be determined
by the instructor for f'very class ab:,Pncc, \\.hether excused or not.
4. An ab~cnce from the CollPgP of t\\ o \\ Peks or more auto
matically drops a stu lent from all clasc; \\ ork and requires rein
statement by the Credentials CommittPc in case thP student desires
to resume \\'ork. Ordinaril) uch rcinstatJment i::. conditioned upon

stances here described will render the student ineligible to receive
credit in any of the courses taken.
5. For ea.ch nine hours (or major fraction in excess thereof)
of absence in any one semester, one half unit is added to the
amount of credit normally required for graduation.
6. In case the student's absence is due to his severe illness,
this penalty may be remitted at the discretion of the Executive
Council, provided the student files a written explanation of the
cause of his absence, upon the proper blank form, within twentyfour hours of return to class work. This statement must be signed
by a physician or by the head resident of a dormitory or other
acceptable authority. Private business, however urgent, is not considered a valid excuse for absence from college work.
7. When a student's absence is due to duty assigned by a
faculty member, either in connection -..vith college -..vork or extracurricular activity, the explanation of absence is filed in the same
manner, and on the same blank form a::. the explanation of absence
due to illness, and the form must be signed by the faculty member
who assigned the duty.
8. Blank forms for explanation of absence may be obtained
at the office, Room 2, Science Building, or from the Librarian, and
they are to be filed in the receptacles provided, either in the library
or in the corridor of the Science Building.
9. One hour of absence means absence from one lecture,
recitation, or laboratory exercise. It applies also to absence from
the regular Monday assembly or other general assemblies, the
assembly of groups of students for special tests, and any other
exercise at which the attendance of students is demanded.
10. The responsibility for explanation of absences is placed
entirely upon the student. Absences not accounted for -..vithin the
specified time are recorded as unexcused.
11. The office does not issue any -..varning notice of accumu·
lation of unexplained absences entered upon the student's record,
but, upon inquiry at the office, during office hours on Friday after
noons, any student may obtain a report of the number of absences
recorded against him.
12. It is suggested that the student should note carefully that
an absence of one day results in the accumulation of as many
houra of a.bio;ence as there are class exercises upon the student's
program for that da).
Procedure for Dropping Course•

1.

A student -..vho, after regularly enro1ling in any course or

TEMPE STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE

15

class, desires, for any reason, to withdraw therefrom, must obtain
from the office a card for change of classification, properly filled
out and signed by a member of thP CrL lentials Con1mittee. Thi..,
card will be presented to the instructor in char~,;e of the cou1::.(. or
class, and when signed by the instructor, will be returned to the
office. Failure to attend to this formality \Yill result in a grade
of E being recorded in the course or class dropped. In case a stu
dent withdraws from the College it is necessary to follow this procedure for each of the courses \\'hich are thus to be dropped.
2. A student who is dropped from a course because of un
excused absences or irregular attendance will receive a grade of E
for the course.
3. A student who drops a course in order to avoid receiving
a failing grade shall be given a grade of E £01 the course.
Enrolling in Courses
1. No person is permitted to attend any class or course with
out regularly enrolling for the \\ ork. At the beginning of each
semester, the student enters the cour&e by the presentation of the
class card signed by the registrar or by a member of the registra
tion committee. After the date of regular registration, a student
\\'ho desires to enter a course \\'ill obtain from the registrar a t.:ard
for chaPf!'E' of clas.;;ification, pro1 erly fillPd out, \\'Ill l resent this
card for the signature of the instructor In charge of the cour.5'e,
and will then file the card in the office.
2. A student ¥:ho desires to audit one or more courses with
out credit may do so with the approval of the registrar and the
consent of the instructors concerned, provided the regular regis
tration fee is paid. Such students \vill present the usual class card
for admission to classes, but the card will be marked "not forcredit".

RULES RELATING TO SCHOLARSHIP

1. In order to be qualifi ~d for graduation from any curri
culum, a student must have acquir d a number of grade point!:>
equal to or in e'-cess of the total number of credit units (semester
hours) accepted for graduation. That is to say, the student must
show an average of C or better for the entire curriculum. It
sho ild be notPd that a student \Vho has received one or more marks
belo'h the grade of C, must have a sufficient number of marks
above the grade of C to balance the deficiency in grade points.
