The Barnard Bulletin appears as a semi weekly publication produced by Barnard College students for the Undergraduate Association. It serves as a student run news and information outlet during the college year with breaks during vacations and exams.
Bulletin reports a new student government eligibility system that includes Mid-Year Exam grades and uses a point system replacing FF and D. The reform, approved by Representative Assembly, aims for fairness while maintaining strict scholastic requirements. Students must maintain a C average to reach the 2.7 eligibility threshold.
Regulations for older curriculum Barnard students outline January and April postings for exam dates. Senior and transfer candidates face French German oral limits and two part tests for French and German with written portions and scheduled oral sessions. Appointments and details appear on Romance Language and German department boards. consult Registrar with questions.
The new system sets eligibility by average grade, with 2500 as the threshold. Physical education grades affect eligibility, and entry conditions during freshman year may delay ineligibility with averages of 2.730 or higher. Medical exemptions apply, and the policy requires faculty and student government approvals to take effect immediately.
The passage argues the new Eligibility System may exclude the same groups currently banned while removing obvious injustices in the existing rules, claiming it aims to curb outside influences but risks predictable effects on grades and access.
Students are urged not to sit on the main entrance steps at Milbank Hall or on the marble shelves beside the stairway. A longstanding rule forbids this, but violations have increased, causing crowding and discomfort.
