Four - Point System
to Start in Fall
A four-point grading system
will be in effect beginning with
the 1957 fall semester.
The change, which was announced by George N. Lauer,
dean of admissions and records,
will be completed on all existing grades by nexl spring.
The  point  values  of  letter
grades under the new system will
be: A, four points per semester
hour; B, three points per semester hour; C, two points per semester hour; D, one point per semester hour; and E, zero points
per semester hour.
Points necessary for graduation honors will be 3.60 for
summa cum laude, 3.40 io 3.59
for magna cum laude, and 3.15
io 3.39 for cum laude.
Point averages which will constitute  academic probation for
various numbers of semester
hours attempted will be: 11 to 17
hours, 1.00 to 1.70; 18 to 34 hours,
1 40 to 1.80; 35 to 51 hours, 1.60 to
1.90; 52 to 66 hours, 1.70 to 2.00;
and over 66 hours, 1.90 to 2.00
will be probationary zones.
The advantages advanced for
ihis new system include the
fact thai mosl larger colleges
and universities are on a four
point system and standardization is rapidly becoming prevalent.
Another argument for the
change is the extra point that
will be earned for a D, thereby
making a D more valuable than
anE.
