cases, when approved by the chairman of the department concerned. Maximum
credit of six units is allowed toward the bachelor's degree in 190 courses, and maximum
credit of six units is allowed in 190 and 290 courses toward the master's
degree. Departments wishing to allow for greater use of independent study in their
programs may submit proposals to the Graduate Council for approval. In addition,
individual student exceptions may be considered by the depanment in consultation
with the Dean, School of Graduate Studies.
An eligible student desiring to register for a 190 or a 290 course must first obtain
the consent of an instructor who will guide the project and the chairman of the
department in which the course is given. Having secured these prior approvals, a
student registers for a 190 or a 290 course in the same manner as for any other
course at the time of registration.
An independent study course normally includes an oral examittation by a committee
set up by the supervising instructor, a formal repon which is filed in the
department office, and an abstract of the study which is filed with the department
chairman. Approval forms and copies of the current regulations may be obtained
at depanment or school offices.
Cerrain special regulations concerning enrollment in 190 and 290 courses during a
summer session will be found in the Summer Session Bulletin.
PASS-WITHDRAW GRADING
In order to encourage academic exploration by students and to discover whether
some reduction in the pressure to secure grades can be achieved and is valuable, a
"Pass-Withdraw" grading procedure has been in effect since the fall semester
of 1967. The procedure is designed to limit the risks inherent in such an evaluation
process, both to a student's grade-point average and to his prospect of normal
advancement in his college program.
Under this plan a student may individually enroll in a course in which others are
receiving grades on a five-point scale, but in which he may receive only the grades
of "passed" (P) or "withdrawn" (W). The grade of P will be given if his work is
judged to be equivalent to an A, B, or C grade as applicable to regular enrollment,
or the grade of W if his work is equivalent to a D or F. Other conditions
concerning P-W grading are as follows:
1. Not all courses will be available for this type of enrollment. Those in which
P-W grading will be possible will be indicated in the Schedule of Courses. Further
directions concerning enrollment procedure will also be found there.
2. A student must be in good standing (not on probation).
3. A student may enroll in only one course in a semester or term on a P-W basis
in addition to any enrollment in Experimental College and International Studies
courses. A maximum of 12 units of such courses may apply to the total units required
for the degree.
4. A course enrolled in on a P-W basis will not be taken into account in the
computation of the grade-point average.
