New grading By Michael Roseman A new undergraduate grading system went in to effect in the fall of 1977. A reminder of this change was sent to students with less than a 2.0 grade point average. The old grading system was more liberal than the new, so students should be aware of this fact. There is still plenty of time for students to bring up grades but a little effort needs to be applied if they intend to remain students here. A letter was sent recently to continuing undergraduate students on probation from Robert A. Gwaltney, university registrar. The letter stated a new undergraduate grading system was adopted in the fall semester of 1977. The transition from the old system to the new system will be complete with this semester. Gwaltney stated, “The letter was to re mind these students of the suspension/retention regulations of the new grading system. Since they had less than a 2.0 overall grade point average at the end of the spring semester 1978, the following re quirements must be met to re-enroll for the spring WITH THIS COUPON To be valid, coupon must accompany order system "harder hut fairer" Robert Gwaltney, UNCC registrar. 1979 semester: (1) at the end of this fall 1978 semester, have a 2.5 semester grade point average, or (2) have an overall 2.0 grade point average.” Continuing, Gwaltney said, “This new system does not pertain to students who choose the option of staying in the old creative arts pro gram. Also, each HDL major with less than a 2.0 average will be carefully screened to make sure they have been enrolled in courses which affect this grade point average prior to being suspended. If they have been enrolled in on ly HDL courses this semester, they will not be suspended. They are reminded, however, they must enroll in courses which affect their grade point average as soon as possible.” Anyone who has any questions should call the registrar's office or talk with his/her advisor soon. To be aware of what exactly is involved in the grading system, one might obtain a copy and read it. The system deals with adding and dropping courses, quali ty point average, repeating a course, auditing a course and suspension. Each point is clearly explained. Page three/Carolina Journal/November 7, 1978 In between Queens and UNCC (continued from page 1) perfect, the girls allow things have gotten better. They won extra hour curfew time and have gotten a UNCC representative on the judicial board.' She’s not allowed to vote on certain issues, but can voice an opinion. She acknowledges this has helped keep a few girls out of trouble or reduced punishment. The girls at Queens are victims of circumstance and the unsatisfactory situation is no fault of either Residence Life or Betsy Cross, the resident advisor. The students stress ed the importance of Cross, Jack Tyler and Chuck Colby of Residence Life in helping them through the Terrorism topic semester. All three have gone way beyond the call of duty” trying to resolve the problems facing these unusual students. The girls have a feeling of being in limbo, not really part of UNCC or Queens. They’ve encountered difficul ty meeting other UNCC students, especially men. Cross and some of the on-campus resident advisors set up mixers with Sanford and Moore dorms in an effort to acquaint the girls with more UNCC students. Top priority for dorm rooms on campus will be directed toward these students next semester. They’re guaranteed a space and, if possible, will get first choice of rooms. of session By Debbie Cooper On Nov. 16, a very unique and special ex perience will be held on the UNCC campus.
