We believe that the present
grading system doesn't allow
a student sufficient freedom
outside their major dicipline.
In order to maintain a high
grade point average for schol-
arships and university accept-
ance, many students are forced
to take subjects in which they
know they will do well. For
example, many Liberal Studies
students are reluctant to take
courses in the Sciences or the
Fine Arts. We suggest that
students be permitted to take
up to twelve credit hours
(average of one per semester)
on a credit/no credit basis
toward the A.A. or A.S. dip-
loma.

Under the credit/no credit
system the student does not
receive a letter grade. At
the end of a semester, after
the student reaches the re- 9
quired level of competency, he :
receives credit for the course
without any letter grade being
computed into his grade point
average. In effect, the stu-
dent audits a course and, if
he satisfies the instructor
that he has mastered the basic
concepts or skills required
in the course, he receives
credit for it. i1£, during
the semester, the student
finds that he cannot cope with
the material or loses interest
in the subject area, he can
leave the course without the
stigma of a "W", or "I",

There should be no problem
with University transferability.
Similar systems are in use in
many American Universities and
Colleges. We have inquired at
both - they advised us that
they accept courses taken on th¢
system and do not compute it in @u4
the G.P.A. for acceptance. }
