Downslips . . . ;
Dean's Note
Due Nov. 1
The office of the Dean of Stu
dent Affairs will receive the first
down lists this weekend. Down
slips will be issued to students at
the end of next week.
The downs system is a Univ
ersity service to students. Down
slips are issued every six weeks.
Their purpose is to warn stu
dents who are incomplete, fail
ing or nearing the borderline of
their courses.
An "incomplete" means the stu
dent has missed too much work
and should make it up immedi
ately. A "failure" indicates that
the student's work is below pass
ing and -can not be made up.
"Condition" or "satisfactory" gives
the student a chance to make up
the work if he puts forth the ef
fort. When a student rets a down
; slip, his adviser is also notified.
It is then up to the student to
see the t instructor who sent it
and find out what he should do.
Although slips are sent to ail
down students, they are par
ticularly designed to help fresh
men and sophomores.
