| | #REDIRECT [[Shadow Academy Degrees]] |
|
| |
| [[Dark Side Degrees]] are a method of rewarding those who put forth extended time and effort at the [[Shadow Academy]]. Originally created by [[Headmaster]] [[Kaiann Yetaru Entar|Kaiann]], the system of degrees was expanded upon under the reigns of Headmasters following.
| |
| | |
| == Degree Levels and Types ==
| |
| There were four levels of Dark Side Degrees when originally created by Headmaster Kaiann, and an additional fifth level was adopted to fit the Fundamentals Department. The levels of degrees, with college level equivalents where applicable, are as follows:
| |
| | |
| * Dark Pundit (Certificate)
| |
| ** The entry level, these degrees typically require only passing courses in the Fundamentals Department.
| |
| ** A minimum of 3-4 courses will be required for a Dark Pundit Degree to be created.
| |
| * Dark Maven (Bachelors)
| |
| ** The basic level, these degrees typically require only passing certain exams with certain scores. Some practical portions may be included.
| |
| ** A minimum of 3-4 courses will be required for a Dark Maven Degree to be created. If only 3 courses are used, then some type of practical portion to the exam will be implemented.
| |
| * Dark Savant (Masters)
| |
| ** Somewhat harder, these degrees require two Dark Maven degrees (specific to each subject area), plus a certain number of electives, and they may also include a practical portion.
| |
| * Dark Sage (PhD)
| |
| ** The highest level most members can obtain, Dark Sage degrees denote great skill and hard work that goes above and beyond typical Shadow Academy work.
| |
| * Master of Dark Lore
| |
| ** Awarded only to current and former [[Headmaster|Headmasters]] at the order of the [[Grand Master]].
| |
| With the exception of Master of Dark Lore, the degrees are open to the general membership and the only thing preventing a member from obtaining a degree will be the member.
| |
| | |
| == General Rules ==
| |
| For all academic degrees, the following rules apply:
| |
| | |
| * An exam grade of 85% or higher is required for the course to count toward the degree.
| |
| ** If an exam grade is below 85%, the member will be given one chance to retake the exam and score a grade of 85% or higher.
| |
| *** If a member fails to achieve a grade of 85% or higher after retaking the exam, they will be ineligible for that degree for three months, after which they may retake the exam again, and so on and so forth.
| |
| * For Service degrees, you must be a member of the Shadow Academy staff.
| |
| | |
| === Revocation ===
| |
| At any point deemed necessary by the Headmaster, a member's degree may be revoked and removed from his/her dossier. Cheating on any Shadow Academy exam is automatic grounds for revoking of degrees, as is any [[Chamber of Justice]] conviction. Revoking degrees is handled on a case-by-case basis by the Headmaster, however, and it is entirely up to the Headmaster whether or not to remove the degree. If a Dark Maven is removed, however, then the Dark Savant that follows, if obtained, will also be removed.
| |
| | |
| === Adding/Removing Degrees ===
| |
| As more courses open in the Shadow Academy, more degrees may be added to the available options. However, extra “filler” courses will not be created simply to allow the creation of a degree, even if it means that a certain subject area must remain without a degree. All courses must meet certain quality standards.
| |
| | |
| As the Shadow Academy is constantly changing and adapting, there is a possibility that a course will be removed, thus negating a degree. In this event, the previously awarded degrees will still stand, and a list of no longer existing degrees will be maintained.
| |
| | |
| == SA Degree Requirements ==
| |
| === Dark Pundit ===
| |
| Dark Pundit degrees are an entry level degrees offered at the Shadow Academy and are essentially the Shadow Academy equivalent to a national certificate or diploma. They require Fundamentals Department courses to be passed.

| ''The Headmaster reserves the right to alter degree requirements at any time, so long as they are applied equally across the Brotherhood.''
| |
| | |
| The system described above resulted largely from the ideas of Dacien "BubbaX" Victae, though they were inspired by the original degree system created by Kaiann, which was further refined by [[Spears]], [[Anshar Kahn Tarentae]], and [[Aabsdu]].
