Academic status is expressed in a
quality point index. A student's quality point index is found
by dividing the sum of quality points by the sum of "Hours
Attempted." For analysis of academic status, Savannah State
computes both a semester index and cumulative index. In either
case, for a student to be:
Semester Hours Attempted
GPA
1 - 30
1.5
31 - 60
1.7
61 +
2.0
Dean's List
To acknowledge publicly the high
scholastic achievement of its students, Savannah State follows the
traditional practice of publishing at the end of each semester
a Dean's List. Placement on this list is merited by a
minimum of 12 hours enrollment with a semester average of
3.5.
Part-time students qualify provided they have
completed 15 semester hours with an accumulative average of
3.5 for no less than two courses and six semester hours.
Students doing their student teaching are eligible for
the Dean's List if they have a 3.5 in course for that one
semester and if they have been on the Dean's List for the two
semesters immediately preceding the semester of student
teaching.
Dropping or Adding a
Course
If you change your mind about the
classes you registered for, don't panic. During the first two
days of
each semester you can drop or add a class in the Registrar's
Office. A student who must drop a course or withdraw from
college after registration must complete the proper withdrawal form. The date of withdrawal is not the
day the student stops going to class but the day he/she
properly fills out the withdraw form and return it to the Office of the
Registrar. A student who fails to comply with this regulation
will receive an "F" for all courses for which he/she has
registered and forfeit all claims to tuition
refunds. Any student who reduces his/her course load after the
first day of class is not entitled to a refund.
