What is the "18-units-outside" rule?

这条规则, along with the distribution 要求s, 是为了确保学生在她的学习项目中有实质性的广度.

基本上,规则是在任何一个部门之外,你至少需要18个单位. Any units on your Wellesley record count in this rule. This means that you do count AP and IB units, 国外单位, 其他美国机构的单位, 等. 无论是“内部”还是“外部”,你都可以获得最多的单位.

Notice that the rule stipulates department rather than major, so that if you are doing an interdepartmental major, 你不太可能遇到这个规则的麻烦,因为你将在多个部门学习课程. Similarly, you are not likely to have difficulty if you are completing two majors. You should also be fine if you are doing the combined Art History/Studio Art major, 因为就本规则而言,艺术部的两个部门被认为是分开的. 如果你在国外参加一个项目(通常是在牛津或剑桥),要求你在一个部门学习所有的课程,或者如果你对一个特定的领域非常热情,你想在一个部门学习超过14门课程,你可能会遇到困难. 如果你预料到你在一个部门之外挣18个单位可能会有困难, you should consult your dean as early as possible.

What are the 要求s for honors?

Wellesley has two kinds of honors: (1)Latin honors, which reflect the overall degree; and (2)departmental honors, 哪些反映了专业的工作.

(1)获得拉丁文荣誉的资格取决于你在第一学期之后在皇冠体育和麻省理工学院所有课程的成绩.  For Davis Scholars and transfer students entering in September 2009 or later, Latin honors will be based on grades in all Wellesley and MIT courses taken. 优等生至少需要3分.60岁,优等生.75分,最优等生3分.90.

To be eligible for these distinctions, 一个学生 may take no more than one-quarter of potentially graded units (i.e., mandatory credit/noncredit courses are not included) on a credit/noncredit basis. 至少12个分级课程(加起来至少12个单位)必须包括在拉丁荣誉的计算.

也有一个限制,你可以有多少不完成的记录,仍然有资格获得拉丁荣誉. No more than three "I/grade" or "INC" notations may appear after the first year. Finally, you may not have any F's in your final semester.

2009年9月之前入学的学生对荣誉的要求有所不同, 应该咨询一下 学生手册

 (2)一般来说,你通过完成一篇高级荣誉论文(360/370)和通过口试来获得该专业的荣誉. Some departments also offer the option of a comprehensive exam. 请在课程目录或部门或项目网站上查看您所在部门或项目的专业要求.

如果我大三没来,拉丁文荣誉的分数会不会有变化?

No.  其他地方的课程, whether during a semester or year away or at some other time, are not included in the calculation of the grade point average for honors.  如上所述, certain Wellesley grades are always excluded from the calculation, depending on the student’s status and the time of entering Wellesley.  Under the most recent formulation of the rules for Latin honors, applying to students entering in September 2009 or later, 在韦尔斯利必须至少完成12个学分的课程才有资格获得荣誉, 这允许任何学生修满四分之一的课程学分,仍然有资格获得拉丁语荣誉.

What is the difference between "excused" and "unexcused" incompletes?  什么是永久的不完整?

Unexcused incompletes are essentially extensions beyond the end of finals period; they may or may not be granted by your instructor. 你不能只拿一个不完整的,你需要问你的老师是否愿意给你一个. 如果是这样的话, 一旦你提交了完成的作业,老师就会给你一个分数, 你的记录将显示“I/grade”."

If you are unable to finish a course on time because of illness or family emergency, you may petition the Academic Review Board to excuse your incomplete. 第一个, 你必须向你的教授要一份不完整的申请,并向你的院长咨询有关申请过程的信息. If the Board grants you an excused incomplete, you will have a temporary notation of "XI" on your record; this will be removed once the work is completed and the grade entered.

未完成的作业(包括请假和未请假的)必须在下个学期开始前完成. 如果你还没有完成工作, 不完整的通常将成为永久性的,并将在您的记录上注明“INC”.
