MINIMUM "C" GRADE POLICY IN EFFECT NOW

EFFECTIVE  FALL 2003 SEMESTER, THE DEPARTMENT HAS IMPLEMENTED A MINIMUM OF "C" GRADE OR BETTER POLICY IN ALL THE ECE 2XX LEVEL COURSES ( i.e. ECE 201,202,241,284,286 ETC..)  FOR THE EE AND CpE MAJORS FOR CONTINUANCE REQUIREMENT. ANY GRADE LOWER THAN A "C" ( THIS INCLUDES "C-" ALSO) WILL REQUIRE YOU TO RETAKE THE COURSE TO PROCEED FURTHER IN THE PROGRAM.

Honor code:

The Honor System at ODU is based upon the integrity of the individual. This system assumes that the student will accept his or her role in the University community with a feeling of self respect and duty. The honor pledge requires that each piece of work submitted by a student is to be his or her own work unless prepared under other conditions specified by the instructor. 

Accommodation for Disability: 

Students with documented evidence of learning disability must inform the instructor early during the beginning of the semester so that if they need any special accommodation or arrangements for tests etc. can be arranged.

Grading Policy for Withdrawal From Classes (From 2002-2004 University Catalog):

Prior to the start of and during the first six class days of the semester (or a similar fraction of nonsemester courses), a student may drop a course; this means no grade will be assigned and no reference entered on the student’s permanent academic record.  After the first six class days of the semester, a student may withdraw from any course though the end of the eighth week of a regular semester (or its equivalent for nonsemester courses).  A grade of W will be assigned during this period.  The last day to drop will be specified in the University calendar.  Students who withdraw through the end of the eighth week are encouraged to contact their instructor, advisor, and financial aid counselor to discuss the implications of withdrawing.

Withdrawal from a course after the eighth week of a regular session (or its equivalent in a nonsemester course) is usually not permitted.  However, in the event of an illness or other severe hardship beyond the student’s control, the student should submit, no later than the last day of classes, a written petition for permission to withdraw to the instructor and the chair of the department offering the course. If permission is granted by both, a grade of W will be recorded. If permission is not granted by both, the student will not be allowed to withdraw from the course. Any appeal of decisions should be brought to the dean of the college offering the course.

A student who stops attending classes without withdrawing from the course will receive a grade of WF, except if the student’s performance has been an F, in which case a grade of F will be assigned. The grade of WF will carry no grade points, but will be computed in the grade point average.
