YALE COLLEGE
Quality Credits
In order to qualify for a degree in Yale College a candidate is required to give evidence, in his scholarship grades, of creditable attainment in some portion of his college work; a mere passing grade in the requisite number of hours is not sufficient for graduation.
For some years past a plan of quality credits has been in operation.
By the plan that is now in effect, a quality credit grade will be 76, or C+.
At least 30% of an undergraduate’s work shall be of quality credit grade.
For each term-hour of work passed with a grade of 75 one-half a quality credit will be given, thus permitting a maximum of seven and one-half quality credits for either term or fifteen for the year.
A student who fails to obtain quality credit in a term is under disqualification in the following term, and his allowance of "cuts" is reduced to five.
"Disqualification" prohibits a student from representing his class or the- college in any athletic, musical, or dramatic organization, as officer, member, or substitute, and from engaging in any other extra-curriculum activity.
A student who has not obtained four and one-half quality credits at the end of Sophomore year, or ten at the end of Junior year, will be required to withdraw from the College.
No student who fails to secure a minimum of eighteen quality credits by the end of his Senior year may qualify for his degree until the fall of that year.
