Requirements
SCHOLASTIC REQUIREMENTS
The grade system in use employs five grades: A, B, C, D, or F.
The mark X represents an incomplete course; the mark IP is given
in thesis and other courses which cannot be completed within one
semester; credit awarded by examination and hours earned with the
mark CR are counted in determining classification, but are not included
in determining grade point average. The Q mark is given for courses
dropped from the thirteenth class day (fifth class day for summer
session) and until the last day for dropping courses without penalty
as stated in the Academic Calendar. The mark NC may be given only
for failure to complete satisfactorily the requirements for selected
courses, including student teaching. Courses with the mark NC and
the marks Q and X are not included in determining grade point average.
- A student’s classification and rank in class are determined
by grade points as follows:
Grade |
Description |
Grade Points Per Semester |
A |
Excellent |
4 |
B |
Well above average |
3 |
C |
Average |
2 |
D |
Barely passing |
1 |
F |
Failure |
0 |
- Grade points are computed for a given semester on the basis
of semester hours attempted. A course attempted is defined as
one in which the student is enrolled after the date for dropping
without prejudice, as specified in the current Academic Calendar.
This date is the midpoint of the semester.
- To calculate a grade point average, divide the total number
of semester hours attempted into the total number of grade points.
The grade point average is carried out two decimals (2.00) and
is not rounded off.
- A student may repeat at Sam Houston State University one time
any course in which a grade of F was earned without counting additional
hours attempted. Any subsequent repetition of such course will
be counted as additional hours attempted. Courses repeated in
which the student has earned the grade of D or better are not
counted as additional hours attempted and the student may not
receive additional credit but will be given grade points earned
above the original grade received. Deficient grade points must
be made up in residence at Sam Houston State University.
- The mark X indicates that the student has not been able to
complete the course because of emergency circumstances beyond
his/her control. These circumstances usually prevail over other
drop dates and opportunities to withdraw from the course. When
the student is given the X mark, it is assumed that he/she will
be able to finish the course without further instruction or tutoring
from the faculty member in charge of the course. It is to the
advantage of the student to complete a course at the earliest
opportunity in which the mark of X has been given. Permission
to award the mark of X is granted only by the chair of the academic
department involved with the recommendation of the instructor.
If the student meets the prescribed requirements of the course
before the end of the next academic semester (Summer school, two
sessions, is considered a unit equivalent to a long semester.)
after the X is given, the student will receive the grade earned;
otherwise, the mark X will be automatically changed to the grade
of F.
- A student receiving a grade believed to be in error after the
grade is reported should request a review of this grade upon receipt.
The review of the grade should be made with the instructor involved.
CLASS ATTENDANCE
- Regular and punctual class attendance is expected of each student
at Sam Houston State University.
- Each faculty member will keep a record of student attendance.
- Each faculty member will announce to his/her classes the policies
for accepting late work or providing make-up examinations. Students
are expected to show appropriate cause for missing or delaying
major assignments or examinations.
- A student shall not be penalized for three or fewer hours of
absences when examinations or other assigned classwork have not
been missed; however, at the discretion of the instructor, a student
may be penalized for more than three hours of absences.
- Each instructor is obligated to clarify in writing to each
student enrolled in class at the beginning of the semester or
summer session his/her classroom policy regarding absences.
- Class absences will be recorded and counted only from the actual
day of enrollment for the individual student in that specific
class.
STUDENT ABSENCES ON RELIGIOUS HOLY DAYS
Section 51.911 of the Texas Education Code requires that an institution
of higher education shall allow a student who is absent from class
for the observance of a religious holy day to take an examination
or complete an assignment scheduled for that day within a reasonable
time after the absence. The student, not later than the 15th calendar
day after the first day of the semester, or the 7th calendar day
after the first day of a summer session, must notify the instructor
of each scheduled class that he/she would be absent for a religious
holy day. Refer to the Academic Calendar for the deadline date for
notification by students to the faculty members of the student’s
intent to be absent on religious holy days.
FINAL EXAMINATIONS
Final examinations are not given before the designated time in
the official examination schedule. A student is not permitted to
take a final examination before all other work for the course is
completed. A student who is compelled to be absent from a final
examination may petition the chair of the academic department involved
to permit a mark of X in the course. This permission is granted
only by the academic department chair with the recommendation of
the instructor concerned.
DEAN’S LIST OF ACADEMIC HONORS
Those outstanding undergraduate students who attain a grade point
average of 3.5 or better, with no grade of F, for all courses attempted
while earning not less than twelve semester credit hours of academic
course work during the semester are included on the Dean’s
List of Academic Honors. The Dean’s List is released at the
close of each semester. In order to provide the appropriate recognition
which these students have earned, the Dean’s List is distributed
throughout the University community as well as by the News Bureau
to the various other media.
PRESIDENT’S HONOR ROLL
Those undergraduate students who achieve a grade point average
of 4.0 in all course work attempted while earning not less than
twelve semester credit hours of academic course work during the
fall semester or spring semester attain the distinction of being
included on the President’s Honor Roll. The names of those
students achieving the highest attainable grades denoting academic
excellence comprise the President’s Honor Roll and are released
at the conclusion of each semester. In order to provide the appropriate
recognition which these qualifying students have earned, the President’s
Honor Roll is distributed throughout the University community as
well as to the various other media.
ACADEMIC PROBATION AND SUSPENSION
In order to achieve and remain in academic good standing at Sam
Houston State University, an undergraduate student must maintain
an overall grade point average of at least 2.0 (C). A 2.0 overall
grade point average is the absolute minimum required for graduation.
An undergraduate student who falls below a 2.0 overall grade point
average at the close of any semester or summer school during which
one or more semester hours are attempted will be placed on probation.
Summer school (two sessions) is considered to be a unit equivalent
to a semester. If an enrolled student on probation fails to achieve
a minimum of a 2.0 overall grade point average at the close of the
next semester or summer school attended following the starting of
the probation, the student will be suspended.
Undergraduate transfer students who are admitted with less than
a 2.0 overall grade point average will be admitted on probation.
An undergraduate transfer student must achieve a minimum overall
grade point average (including all transfer work) of 2.0 at the
close of the semester or summer school for which the student is
admitted or the student will be suspended.
The cumulative grade point average is based only on course work
at Sam Houston State University for which the student earns the
grade of A, B, C, D, or F. The marks of Q, WP, WF, NC, and X are
not counted as hours attempted in figuring the cumulative grade
point average.
Deficient grade points on transferred work must be made up sufficiently
in order to earn a degree at Sam Houston State University. Grades
earned at other institutions may not be used to remove grade deficiencies
earned at Sam Houston State University.
Any student who has accumulated a total of 30 or more deficient
grade points at the end of any long semester or summer school will
be automatically suspended. Deficient grade points which may have
been transferred in from other institutions are added to those received
at Sam Houston State University in order to determine total grade
point deficiency.
Academic actions are based on the total Sam Houston State University
record and are implemented at the close of the fall semester, the
spring semester, and the summer school.
Academic good standing is defined as follows:
If a student is allowed to enroll, a letter of good standing will
be issued.
The appropriate academic dean may place on probation or retain
on probation or suspend any student deficient in grade points without
regard to the regulations previously stated.
Summer Transient Students are not subject to academic action while
in that status.
Only hours earned at Sam Houston State University and hours accepted
in transfer from other institutions will count toward the student’s
classification.
The official classification is determined by the Registrar.
Credit awarded by examination and hours earned with the grade of
CR are counted in determining classification, but are not included
in determining grade point average.
REMOVAL FROM ACADEMIC PROBATION
The student will be removed from academic probation at the close
of the semester in which the cumulative grade point average achieves
the required standard.
READMISSION AFTER ACADEMIC SUSPENSION
The period of academic suspension and the subsequent readmission
of a student on academic probation are based on the entire Sam Houston
State University academic record and at the discretion of the academic
dean. The student is encouraged to see his/her dean for specific
or additional requirements of the appropriate college and the University.
- The first suspension is for a period of at least one semester.
- If suspended a second time, the student may not enroll for
a period of at least twelve months.
- If suspended a third time, further enrollment should not be
contemplated at Sam Houston State University.
- Readmission from suspension may be approved by the academic
dean of the college in which the student was enrolled at the time
of his/her suspension. The petition for readmission must be made
in writing and supported by a transcript of all college work completed
at Sam Houston State University.
- Students who are subject to suspension under the stated terms
of the Academic Probation and Suspension Policies and who register
for enrollment at the University do so at their own risk and monies
paid for fees and tuition are subject to the refund regulations
as stated in the Sam Houston State University catalogue.
- Any student who has accumulated a total of 30 or more deficient
grade points at the end of any long semester or summer school
will be automatically suspended. Deficiency grade points which
may have been transferred in from other institutions are added
to those received at Sam Houston State University in order to
determine total deficiency grade points.
The appropriate academic dean may place on probation or retain
on probation or suspend any student deficient in grade points without
regard to the regulations previously stated.
RESIGNATIONS
To resign (officially withdraw) from the University, a student
must notify the Registrar’s Office and process a Resignation
Request. The Resignation Request must be in writing and becomes
effective on the date received by the Registrar’s Office.
The effective date of the Resignation Request, as received by the
Registrar’s Office, is the date which is used for determining
any refund as authorized in the State Refund Policy . The student
is responsible for clearing all debts owed to the University. Students
who fail to officially resign from the University will receive the
grade of F for each course in which they are enrolled.
Students who resign after the first nine weeks of a regular semester
or after the first two weeks of a summer session receive a mark
of WP (withdrew passing) or WF (withdrew failing) for each course
for which they are enrolled. Students who resign from the University
while enrolled in a course whose duration is less than a normal
term will receive a mark of WP or WF if they resign after one-half
of that course time has been completed. The mark of WP or WF is
the responsibility of the student’s instructors.
ACADEMIC GRIEVANCE PROCEDURES FOR STUDENTS
Academic grievances include disputes over: academic standards;
course grades; unauthorized class absences or tardiness; suspension
from the university for academic deficiency; alleged unprofessional
conduct by a course instructor. A copy of Academic Policy Statement
900823, Academic Grievance Procedures for Students, can be obtained
from the office of the student’s academic dean, department
chair, or the Newton Gresham Library. This academic policy statement
is also available online.
TRANSCRIPTS
A currently enrolled student or a former student of the University
may obtain a transcript of his/her completed work from the Office
of the Registrar. All requests for transcripts must be in writing
and must be accompanied by the individual’s signature. A fee
which, according to state law must be paid in advance, will be charged
for each copy. The fee for each transcript is $5, effective June
1, 2002. Transcripts will not be released for students who have
a financial indebtedness to the University. Checks should be made
payable to Sam Houston State University
CORRESPONDENCE COURSES
Correspondence courses are offered for those students
who wish to add to their academic program by individual study. A
student is permitted to complete eighteen semester hours toward
a bachelor’s degree by correspondence course work. Correspondence
courses may be completed in a minimum of sixty days or a maximum
of one calendar year.
Semester credit hours earned in a correspondence course(s)
are not considered “Resident Classroom Instruction”
hours and are not used in determining academic honors: cum laude,
magna cum laude, summa cum laude, The Dean’s List, and the
President’s Honor Roll. However, the semester credit hours
and grade points earned for correspondence courses are included
in the calculation of the overall SHSU grade point average.
Correspondence courses are not offered at the graduate
level, nor can any correspondence course taken at any level or at
any institution count towards a graduate degree at Sam Houston State
University.
Enrollment in correspondence courses may be completed
at any time. Additional information, including a brochure listing
the courses which are offered and an enrollment application, may
be obtained by inquiring in person in Room 116, Academic Classroom

promote scholastic excellence, is open to all university seniors
who accepted membership and have achieved a 3.6 or higher grade
point average on all college-level course work.
Participation in the Honors Program at Sam Houston State University
is based on a competitive selection process, and provides outstanding
academic opportunities, and distinct undergraduate college experiences.
Upon successful completion of the Honors Program — twenty-four
semester hours of Honors courses and two special seminars —
the student’s academic transcript will indicate graduation
“With Honors” and the student may wear an Honors medallion
with academic regalia. To be designated as having graduated “With
Highest Honors” the student must also successfully complete
a special senior project involving original research and/or an effort
of creative expression.
NOTE: Semester credit hours earned in a correspondence
course(s) are not considered “resident classroom instruction”
hours and are not used in determining the minimum semester credit
hour requirement for academic honors: cum laude, magna cum laude,
summa cum laude, the Dean’s List, and the President’s
Honor Roll. However, the semester credit hours and grade points
earned for correspondence courses are included in the calculation
of the overall SHSU grade point average.
DEPARTMENT ACADEMIC DISTINCTION PROGRAM
An enriched program is offered to superior students at Sam Houston
State University, culminating in the student’s receiving a

TRANSFER INFORMATION
TRANSFER GUIDELINES
The following guidelines and definitions are established to clarify
and enhance Chapter 5, Subchapter A, Section 5.4 of the Texas Higher
Education Coordinating Board rule pertaining to Transfer Curricula
and Resolution of Transfer Disputes for Lower-Division Courses.
DEFINITIONS
The definitions listed below were established by the Coordinating
Board and will serve as criteria to resolve legal questions as specified
in Section 1.23, Subchapter C, Chapter 61 of the Education Code,
Section 61-078. The publications Transfer of Credit Policies
and Curricula of the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board
and Community College General Academic Course Guide Manual:
A Manual of Approved General Academic Transfer Courses for State
Appropriations to Texas Public Community Colleges are the references
for this issue: The following criteria for lower-division
and upper-division course credit were adopted by the Task Force
to Update the Academic Course Guide Manual.
A. Criteria for Lower-Division Course Credit
Lower-Division (Baccalaureate/Associate Degree) Courses
Courses offered in the first two years of college study are those
which:
- Are identified by a majority of public 4-year undergraduate
institutions in the state as courses intended to comprise the
first two years of collegiate study, AND
- Stress development of disciplinary knowledge and skill at an
introductory level; OR
- Include basic principles and verbal, mathematical, and scientific
concepts associated with an academic discipline.
B. Criteria for Upper-Division Course Credit
Upper-Division (Baccalaureate) Courses
Courses offered only in the third or fourth years of a baccalaureate
program are those which
- Are identified by a majority of public 4-year undergraduate
institutions in the state as courses intended to comprise the
third and fourth years of postsecondary study, AND
- Involve theoretical or analytical specialization beyond the
introductory level, OR
- Require knowledge and skills provided by previous courses for
successful performance by students.
C. Free Transferability
Lower-division courses included in the Academic Course Guide Manual
and specified in the definition of “Lower-Division Course
Credit” shall be freely transferable to and accepted as comparable
degree credit by any Texas public institution of higher education
where the equivalent course is available for fulfilling baccalaureate
degree requirements. It is understood that each Texas institution
of higher education may have limitations that invalidate courses
after a specific length of time.
For Texas community colleges, these freely transferable courses
are identified in the latest revised edition of Coordinating Board
publication Lower Division Academic Course Guide Manual, (revised
2002). Specifically excluded are courses designated as vocational,
ESL/ESOL, technical, developmental or remedial, and courses listed
as “basic skills.”
For senior four-year institutions, lower-division courses that
have the same course content and CIP codes as approved by the Coordinating
Board shall bear equivalent credit. Specifically excluded are course
designated as ESL/ESOL, technical and developmental/remedial courses.
Within the spirit of the law it is realized that differences in
interpretation of “same course content” may generate
disputes.
D. Disputes
Transfer disputes may arise when a lower-division course is not
accepted for credit by a Texas institution of higher education.
To qualify as a dispute the course(s) in question must be offered
by the institution denying the credit (receiving institution), or
in the case of upper-level institutions, must be published as a
lower-division course accepted for fulfilling lower-level requirements.
For community colleges, the course(s) must be listed in the Lower
Division Academic Course Guide Manual, and be offered at the receiving
institution. Additionally, the sending institution may challenge
the receiving institution’s denial of credit.
Students at Sam Houston State University who require additional
information/clarification regarding Transfer Dispute Resolution
Guidelines should contact the Director of Undergraduate Admissions,
telephone (936) 294-1828. The University reserves the right to refuse
to accept transfer credit when the instructor of record does not
meet the requisite academic credentials.
COMMON COURSE NUMBERS
The Texas Common Course Numbering System was developed
in part to assist students in identifying which courses at one college
will meet specific course requirements at another college. In other
words, the common course numbering system promotes the successful
transfer of course work among colleges and universities in Texas,
making the transfer process easy for students.
The common course number has a standardized four-letter
prefix followed by a four-digit number — example, ENGL 1301.
The four-letter prefix identifies the subject area. Each digit in
the four-digit sequence gives additional information about the course.
The first digit identifies the course as either freshman level (1)
or sophomore level (2). The second digit identifies the number of
credit hours a student will earn upon completion of the course.
Most often this digit will be a 1, 2, 3, or 4. The final two digits
serve to establish the sequence in which courses are generally taken.
In the course description sections of the catalogue,
the common course number is shown in brackets — example, [ENGL
1301]. The following is a list of all the common course numbers
currently adopted by Sam Houston State University. Courses which
fulfill one of the General Education Requirements for the Core Curriculum
are identified with the letters GE to the right of the Sam Houston
State University course number.
