'^1' % ^^> PURPOSE / 7 Purpose Over a quarter of a century ago, Philip Weltner, then president of Oglethorpe University, wrote an introduction to the catalog in which he expressed his ideas about the aims and purposes of an educated man, and the aims and purposes of the college. The Oglethorpe idea is to forge the strongest possible link between the "academic" and "practical," between "human understanding" and "know-how," between "culture" and "proficiency," between past and present. We are persuaded that there is ultimately no contradiction between the concepts represented in each of these usually divorced pairs. There can be no basic disagreement among educators and laymen about the common elements of the student's real needs and interests. He is to learn as much as possible about the principles, forces, and laws influencing or governing Nature, including human nature and human associations; to leairn to take account of these not only for their own sake but for growth, guidance and direction for himself and others; to express his deepest individuality in the work or calling most appropriate to his talents; and to discover his proper place, role, and function in the complex relationships of modern living. Living should not be an escape from work. Education should therefore encompass the twin aims of making a life and making a living. But inescapably he is part and parcel of society. He fulfills himself by the measure in which he contributes to the happiness and progress of his fellows. Education, as an institution of society, has a social obligation. It cannot neglect either the individual or the community without damage to both. The social order at its best is best for the individual; the individual at his best is best for society. The business of education is to strive for this optimum. What difference should an education make? There are people, deficient in formal schooling, who are happy and useful. They understand and get along well with their neighbors. They are an influence for good in their community and earn a living by honest effort. Any truly educated mem displays the same traits. The difference is in degree rather than kind. Whereas it is usual for people to understand their fellows, how much wider should be the sympathies of the educated man! His contacts go beyond the living and embrace the seers of all the ages, who as his companions should inform his mind and enlarge his vision. Never before have people been so alive to the necessity of mastering rather than being mastered by the economic and scientific forces at work in our world. Creative brains and individual initiative, tempered by a strong sense of social responsibility, cire the only 8 / OGLETHORPE UNIVERSITY sources of payrolls compajbible with a free society, an improving living standard, and a better way of life. Where else can we look for this creative urge other than to adequate education of qualified talent! We make no claim that formal education inevitably bestows these benefits. We insist that it can. If that be true, how may the mark be reached? We shall always have to remind ourselves as teachers that education is a difficult art. The pitfalls we would shun are hard to escape. Of cill people, the teacher must remain the most teachable. The quest for wisdom is never-ending. We, too, must continually grow in order to stimulate growth in those who come to us to learn. We shall also have to remind ourselves that subjects are merely the means; the objects of instruction are the persons taught. We must be forever mindful that education, in order to be true to itself, must be a progressive experience for the learner, in which interest gives rise to inquiry, inquiry is pursued to mastery, and mastery at one point occasions new interests in others. The cycle is never closed, but is a spiral which Eilways returns upon itself at some higher level of insight. Growth in everything which is human must remain the dominant objective for the individual and for society. We therefore stand for a program of studies which makes sense from first to last, which hangs together, and which promotes this desired result. Not only in professional training but also in the education of the human personality, the materials of instruction must have a beginning, point in a definite direction, and prepare for all that ensues. We necessarily make provision for and give scope to diversified talents in preparation for varied careers. But this much we all have in common: each min has to live with himself and all have to live with their fellows. Living in community, with human under- standing, involves arts in which we are ill equally concerned. Throughout the essay there is the pervasive theme that the educated person takes his education out with him, and involves his knowledge and understanding in his contacts with others, in his private life, in his social life, and in his Cireer. A good education is one that pervades a life in all its facets, and is not just, like fancy china, "good for Sundays only." The post- World War II world has speeded up and changed some of its values, but the Oglethorpe idea has not changed. We still feel that the aim of a good education is, as Dr. Weltner put it, to enable our students to live "in commimity, with human understanding." Our own community is a small one, but small for more than just the pleasures that can ensue when everybody knows everybody else. Our smallness enables us to work together as a unit, to achieve a unity of goals, and to grow together in our pursuit of them. At Oglethorpe PURPOSE / 9 one's major or one's career goal is of less importance than one's membership in an academic community dedicated to the intelligent pursuit of the means to a better world. Our basic core of required courses does more than give the student a general overview of the world in which he lives; it gives him a common background with his fellows, both in the student body and the faculty, out of which, like a fertile soil, the Oglethorpe community, ever changing, ever improving, can grow and prosper. HISTORY / 11 History Oglethorpe's history dates back to 1835 when a group of Georgia Presbyterians, influenced by the example of Princeton University, secured a charter for the operation of a church-supported university in the academic pattern of the nineteenth century. Actual operations commenced in 1838 at Midway, a small community near Milledgeville, at that time the capitol of the state. For nearly three decades after its founding, the university steadily grew in stature and influence. Its president during most of that time, Samuel K. Talmage, provided gifted leadership and, at the same time, gathered about him a faculty of unusual ability, at least two of whom would achieve real distinction: James Woodrow, an uncle of Woodrow Wilson and the first teacher in Georgia to hold the Ph.D., and Joseph LeConte, destined to world fame for his work in the field of geology. Oglethorpe alumni went forth in those years to play roles of importance in various fields. Perhaps the best-known of her graduates was the poet Sidney Lanier, a member of the Class of 1860, who remarked shortly before his death that the greatest intellectual impulse of his life had come to him during his college days at Oglethorpe. But the life and service of the school were suddenly cut short in the 1860's as Oglethorpe became a casualty of war. Her students marched away to become Confederate soldiers; her endowment at length was lost in Confederate bonds; her buildings were converted to military use as a barracks and hospital. In a sense, her fate became bound up with that of the Lost Cause. After the close of the conflict an effort was made to revive the institution, first at Midway and then by re-location in Atlanta. However, the ravages of war, together with the dislocations of Reconstruction, posed obstacles too great to overcome, and in 1872 Oglethorpe closed its doors for a second, and seemingly final, time. But four decades later, thanks largely to the determined energy and vision of Dr. Thornwell Jacobs, the school was revived, chsirtered in 1913, and moved to its present location on the northern edge of metropolitan Atlanta. The cornerstone of the first building was laid in 1915 in a ceremony witnessed by members of the classes of 1860 and 1961; symbolicEilly, thus, the old and the new were linked. From then until his resignation in 1944, President Jacobs became and remained the guiding spirit of the endeavor. He developed a number of ideas and enterprises which brought national, and even international, recognition to the school. Most notable among these were the establishment of a campus radio station as early as 1931, 12 / OGLETHORPE UNIVERSITY and the completion in 1940 of the Crypt of Civilization to preserve for posterity a cross-section of twentieth-century life. Still a new era opened in the history of Oglethorpe in 1944 when Dr. Philip Weltner assumed the presidency and, with a group of faculty associates, initiated a new and exciting approach to under- graduate education called the "Oglethorpe Idea." As described more fully in the preceding section, the new departure was founded on the conviction that education should encompass the twin aims of making a life and making a living, and that towaird these ends a program of studies should be developed which made sense from first to last and which meaningfully hung together. The last twenty years of Oglethorpe's history have revolved around the central issue of finding more effective means of answering the challenge posed by these fundamental purposes. At the same time, though the University is sympathetic toward all religions and encourages its students to affiliate with a local church or synagogue of their own choosing, formal support from church bodies was discontinued. Today Oglethorpe stands as a wholly private and non-sectarian institution of higher learning. The college has also developed a program of physical expansion to keep pace with its academic growth. Five new dormitories and a new student center building were opened in the spring of 1968. The new complex was designed not only to add additional space to campus facilities but also to blend architecturally with the existing pattern of buildings on the campus. Traer Hall, a new women's dormitory, was completed in 1969. The new science center was completed during the fall of 1971 and houses the science and psychology departments. Renovation of Lowry Hall for a new four-floor library facility was completed in July of 1972 as was the renovation of Faith Hall for a student infirmary and auxiliary services building. Phoebe Hearst Hall was renovated in the fall of 1972 for a classroom building. Most of the classes with the exception of science and psychol- ogy are held in this building located directly across from Lupton Hall. Lupton Hall, which contains all the administrative offices, was renovated in early 1973. Students can find the Office of the Dean, Registrar, Financial Aid, and Admissions Office on the first floor; the Business Office on the lower level; and the Office of University Advancement, Alumni Office, Dean of Students, Office of Counseling Services and Career Development, Dean of Administration, and the President's Office on the second floor. Future plans for the development of the Oglethorpe physical plant include the addition of a Fine Arts Center and additions and renovations to the athletic complexes, including Hermance Stadium. HISTORY / 13 To all of this, it may be finally added, Oglethorpe enjoys the great asset of location in Atlanta one of the great metropolitan centers of the South and one of the most rapidly developing in the nation. A city blending the graciousness of the Old South with the social progress of the New, Atlanta is a key center of transportation for the entire Southeast, with excellent service by air, rail, and bus; it is also a hub of the modern highway system being built through the region. With a metropolitan population of nearly two million, an ideal location in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, and a temperate climate throughout the year, the city offers many attractions and cultural opportunities to the Oglethorpe under- graduate as a part of his whole development. tniiiiiniif^l^l^ ~- J^ ^^ *J r-r> ""^ w-^ < r"""f J*^ * ^ 'Z 3 ^^" r.,,fi mrA'^^V--'-^ '"i iiiira^Tr-"^ ' KW jr^-^.t'^^^^ m- W$d RJPiQ^^^ ^BBBKLiZ^-i!^ jHH^^K^^^^^^^H^^^I K' swl r! li r Hm HUliQ -^ KHSSy^'* '^^^^y^..-.'''' i' , 1 -^^^^^^^^B^" C; '..:..>'' ... ..,,:, J .

The library is open seven days a week during the two regular semesters of the academic year. On five days it is open both day and evening. THE STUDENT CENTER The Student Center is the hub of campus life. It houses the student lounges, television room, recreational facilities, snack bar, post office, book store, student activity offices, conference rooms, cafeteria and dining room, sorority and fraternity rooms, radio station, and offices of Foreign Student Advisor, Student Activities Director, University Center Director and the Chaplain. 16 / OGLETHORPE UNIVERSITY LUPTON HALL Lupton Hall, built in 1920 and named in honor of John Thomas Lupton, was one of the three original buildings on the present Oglethorpe University campus. It was renovated in 1973, and contains all administrative offices and an auditorium with seating for three hundred and fifty persons. The University Business Office is located on the lower level of Lupton Hall; the office of the Dean, the Registrar, and Admissions and Financial Aid are on the first floor; the Office of the President, Dean of Administration, Dean of Students, Office of Counseling Services and Career Development, Office of University Advancement and Alumni Office are on the second floor. The third floor is the site of the E.L.S. Language Center, which was opened in September, 1975. Classrooms, offices, and a lounge occupy the third floor area. The language laboratory and the reading laboratory are located on the second floor. The original cast bell carillon in the Lupton tower has been re-fitted and re-hung. It now has forty-two bells which chime the quarter hours and a daily afternoon concert. PHOEBE HEARST HALL Phoebe Hearst Hall was built in 1915 and is in the neo-Gothic architecture that dominates the Oglethorpe Campus. The building is named in honor of Phoebe Apperson Hearst, the mother of William Randolph Hearst, Sr, It was renovated in the fall of 1972 for a clcissroom and faculty office building. Most classes with the exception of science and psychology are held in this building which is located directly across from Lupton Hall. Additiongil renovation for a student-faculty lounge and an expgmded computer center was completed in 1975. The dominant feature of the building is the beautiful Great Hall, the site of many traditional and historic events at Oglethorpe. Also located in the ground floor of the building is the much-publicized Crypt of Civilization. This time capsule was sealed on May 28, 1940, with many components of American culture sealed within. It is not to be opened until May 28, 8113. GOSLIN HALL This new science center was completed during the fall of 1971 and houses the science and psychology departments. Laboratories for biology, chemistry and physics, and modern lecture hgQls, are located in the building. Goslin Hall was named in honor of Dr. Roy N. BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS / 17 Goslin, Professor of Physics and senior member of the Oglethorpe faculty, for his many years of dedicated work for the college and for the nation. TRAER HALL Built in 1969, Traer Hall is a three story women's residence which houses 168 students. Construction of the building was made possible through the generosity of the late Wayne S. Traer, Oglethorpe University alumnus of the Class of 1928. These accommodations provide for semi-private rooms. All rooms open onto a central plaza courtyard. As all buildings on the Oglethorpe campus, Traer Hall is completely air-conditioned. GOODMAN HALL Goodman Hall was built in 1956 and renovated in 1970, when it was transformed from a men's into a women's residence hall. The building contains twenty-seven rooms and is used to house Junior and Senior women students. Private rooms are available. Located adjacent to Goodman Hall are three newly resurfaced tennis courts (1975). MEN'S RESIDENCE HALL COMPLEX Five men's residence halls are situated around the upper quad- rangle. Two of the buildings were named for former Oglethorpe presidents, Dr. Philip Weltner and Dr. Thorn well Jacobs. Constructed in 1968, these buildings were refurbished and carpeted in 1975. The three story structures house all male resident students. FAITH HALL The campus infirmary is housed on the upper level of Faith HeQI, together with art studios and lecture rooms. The lower level of Faith Hall houses the maintenance facility. The building was renovated in 1972 to include overnight facilities for students in the infirmary. R. E. DOROUGH FIELD HOUSE The Dorough Field House is the site of intercollegiate basketball, intramural and recreational sports, and large campus gatherings such is concerts and commencement exercises. Built in 1960, this 18 / OGLETHORPE UNIVERSITY structure is scheduled for major renovation in 1976. The building is named for the late R. E. (Red) Borough, a former Trustee of the University. ATHLETIC FACILITIES The most recent renovation and construction on the campus is the addition of a six-lane, all-weather, reslite track which was dedicated in May, 1975. Also completed in 1975 was the resurfacing of Anderson Field in historic Hermance Stadium. These improvements provide modem facilities for the baseball, soccer and track teams. The intramural football and softball teams use these new facilities as well. In the Fall of 1976, a new athletic field was dedicated for the exclusive use of the intramural program. This additional field is located adjacent to the men's residence hall complex. ADMISSION / 19 Admissions APPLICATION FOR ADMISSION Throughout its history, Oglethorpe has welcomed students from all sections of this country, as well as from abroad, as candidates for degrees. It is the policy of the Admissions Committee to select for admission to the University those applicants who present the strongest evidence of purpose, maturity, scholastic ability, and potential for the caliber of college work expected at Oglethorpe. In making its judgments, the Committee considers the nature of the students' high school program, their grades, the recommendations of their counselors and teachers, and their scores on aptitude tests. The candidates for admission as freshmen must present a satisfactory high school program. In addition, the student must submit satisfactory scores on the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) of the College Entrance Examination Board, or American College Testing Program Assessment (ACT). (Scores of the Florida and Iowa State Tests will be acceptable if the applicant has tiken one of these as a result of statewide policy.) It is to the applicant's advantage to take the American College Test or Scholastic Aptitude Test as early as possible during the senior year in high school. Details concerning the program can be obtained from high school counselors, or by writing the American College Testing Program, P.O. Box 451, Iowa City, Iowa 52240, or College Entrance Examination Board, Box 592, Princeton, N. J. 08540. The Oglethorpe application form contains a list of the materials which must be submitted by the applicant. No application can be considered and acted upon until the items indicated have been received. Applications will be considered in order of completion, and the applicant will be notified of the decision of the Committee on Admissions as soon as action has been taken. Though the exact date will vary from semester to semester, generally the deadline by which admissions will be closed will be announced by the University. CREDIT BY EXAMINATION There are two testing programs through which students may earn credit or exemption for required or elective courses. These two programs are described below. Any student who has questions about these examinations should consult the Registrar. Up to sixty semester hours of credit will be accepted through these programs. COLLEGE LEVEL EXAMINATION PROGRAM - CLEP Within this testing program are two categories. The General Examinations cover the areas of English Composition, Humanities, Mathematics, Natural Science, and Social Science History. 20 / OGLETHORPE UNIVERSITY A maximum of thirty semester hours can be earned with acceptable scores in the General Examinations. Minimum acceptable scores are 500 for each general area and 50 in each sub-total category. The Subject Examinations are designed to measure knowledge in particu- lar courses. Minimum acceptable scores of 50 in each subject exam are required for credit. ADVANCE PLACEMENT PROGRAM The University invites and urges those students who have taken the advanced placement examinations of the College Entrance Examination BoEird to submit their scores for possible consideration toward college credit. The general policy of Oglethorpe toward such scores is the following: academic credit will be given in the appropriate area to students presenting advanced placement grades of 5; exemption but not credit will be given in the appropriate area from basic courses for students presenting a grade of 4; neither credit nor exemption will be given for grades of 3 or 2 ; maximum credit to be gQlowed to any student for advanced placement scores will be thirty semester hours. TRANSFER STUDENTS Applicants for transfer from other recognized institutions of higher learning are welcomed at Oglethorpe, provided they are in good standing at the institution last attended. They are expected to follow regular admissions procedures and will be notified of the decision of the Admissions Committee in the regular way. Oglethorpe University will accept as transfer credit courses comparable to university courses which are applicable to a liberal arts or a science degree. A two year residence requirement is in effect, but may be reduced to one year by joint decision of the dean and the chairmin of the division in which the student will major. Therefore, two years of transfer work is the maximum given without such decision, but up to three years of transfer work may be granted with such decision. Acceptable work must be shown on an official transcript and must be completed with a grade of "C" or better. Transfer students who have earned the Associate of Arts degree at an accredited junior college will be awarded two years of credit. The re- msiining two years of academic credit will be determined by the Dean of the College in consultation with the Registrar, the appropriate depart- ment chairman, and the student. Junior college graduates with strong academic records are encouraged to apply for admission. All financial aid awards ire open to transfer students as well as new freshmen. ADMISSION / 21 Oglethorpe University will accept as many as thirty hours of United States Armed Forces Institute (USAFI) credit. Students with at least six months active military experience may be granted three hours credit for that experience. Students who serve for two years or more, may receive six hours credit. SPECIAL AND TRANSIENT STUDENTS In addition to regular students, a limited number of special ind transient students will be accepted. Special students are defined by the University as those not working toward an Oglethorpe degree; they are limited to a maximum of five semester courses, after which they must apply to the admissions office for a chEinge of status to that of regular student or be requested to withdraw from the University. Transient students may take a maximum of two semesters of work, provided that they secure permission from the dean of their original institution certifying that the institution will accept for transfer credit the academic work done by the student at Oglethorpe. This permission is the responsibility of the transient student. NON-TRADITIONAL STUDENTS Admission to Oglethorpe is not restricted to recent high school graduates and transfer student. The University attempts to fulfill its responsibility to the entire community by offering admission to non-traditional students. Students with a high school diploma, or its equivalent, who have not been enrolled during the last five years are exempt from taking the traditional entrance examinations. Also, those persons who have never completed their undergraduate degrees and wish to resume their study after an extended absence are encouraged to apply. Admission is offered in the fall, spring, and summer terms. Interviews are required to determine the special needs of these students. Personal counseling is available to avoid unnecessary difficulties and to promote the development of the students. These students have individual plans according to their special needs and interests. The University is able to offer admission to non-traditional students by recognizing their strengths in enthusiasm, motivation, ind maturity. INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS Admission to Oglethorpe is open to qualified students from all nations. Students who are able to provide evidence of suitable academic background, adequate financial resources, and seriousness of purpose are eligible to apply. 22 / OGLETHORPE UNIVERSITY International students are accepted with the condition that upon arrival they will be given an examination in English. Students must gain the recommendation of the language center director through such examination before enrolling in regular courses. Students who do not receive a favorable recommendation from the Director will be required to enroll in the ELS Language Center. ELS LANGUAGE CENTER In September of 1975, English Language Services (ELS) and Oglethorpe University opened an on-campus English language center. The ELS Language Center offers intensive four-week sessions teaching English as a second language to college-bound international students and professionals. Students enroll in one of more sessions depending upon knowledge of English, aptitude for the language, and desire for proficiency. Residence hall facilities are available to all ELS Students. Additional information may be obtained by writing Director, ELS Language Center, Oglethorpe University, 4484 Peachtree, Atlanta, Georgia 30319. MARINE OFFICER PROGRAM Qualified students may apply for an officer program leading to a commission as a Second Lieutenant in the United States Marine Corps. Commissions are offered in both ground and aviation components. The Platoon Leaders Course (PLC) is offered to freshmen, sophomores, and juniors who attend pre-commissioning training during the summer. Financial Assistance and Flight Indoc- trination Programs are available. Qualified seniors attend twelve weeks of training in the Officer Candidate Course (OCC) after graduation. For details, contact the Placement Office or the Marine Officer Selection Officer. APPLICATION PROCEDURE All correspondence concerning admission should be addressed to the Office of Admissions, Oglethorpe University, Atlanta, Georgia. After receiving the application form, the applicant should complete and return it with an application fee of $10.00. Entering freshmen must also submit the following; letter of reference from a high school counselor or teacher; official transcript of high school work; and aptitude test scores. Transfer students must submit the completed application form with the $10.00 application ADMISSION / 23 fee, plus the following: letter of good standing from the dean of the college previously attended; official transcript of each college attended; a high school transcript and test scores if less than one full year of college work has been completed.

UN * -k nu-iw 4 ^ '"VWP FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE / 25 Financial Assistance PROGRAMS Oglethorpe University provides students with an opportunity to obtain financial assistance for part of their educational expenses. Students may receive several types of aid to make up their "package" of financial assistance. A financial aid package may include assistance from any one or more of the following sources: Oglethorpe Merit Awards for Scholarship (O.M.A.S.) are awarded in amounts of $500, $700, $900, $1,000, $1,200 and $1,500. For freshmen, these awards are based on the applicant's aptitude test scores (SAT or ACT). For upperclassmen and transfer students, these awards are based on the cumulative grade point average of the applicant. Participation in activities, leadership, citizenship, and potential for success are also part of the basis for awarding these scholarships. The O.M.A.S. is unique in that scholarships are awarded on the basis of merit rather than need and are made available to a great many more students than traditional scholarship programs. Georgia Tuition Grant (G.T.G.) are available for Georgia residents who attend Oglethorpe. The program was established by an Act of the 1971 Georgia General Assembly. The Georgia Higher Education Assistance Authority defines the program in this way, "The purpose of the Act is to provide tuition assistance to Georgia resident students who are desirous of pursuing their higher education goals in a private Georgia college or university, but find the financial costs prohibitive due primarily to higher tuition of these educational institutions in comparison to public schools which are branches of the University System of Georgia." All students must complete a yearly application to verify their eligibility for the grant. In the 1976-77 school year, this grant is $200.00 per semester. No Financial Aid Form is required for this program since family financial need is not a factor in determining eligibility. Basic Educational Opportunity Grants (B.E.O.G.) Eire available for freshmen, sophomore, junior and senior students in 1977-78. The Basic Grant is a federal aid program intended to be the floor in financial assistance. Eligibility is based upon a family's financial resources. Applications for this program may be obtained from the Office of Financial Aid or from a high school guidance office. This aid is administered in the form of non-repayable grants. APPLICATIONS FOR THIS PROGRAM MUST BE FILED PRIOR TO APPLICATION FOR ANY OTHER FEDERAL PROGRAM. 26 / OGLETHORPE UNIVERSITY Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants (S.E.O.G.) do not require repayment. The size of the grant depends on the need of the individual recipient. To qualify for an S.E.O.G., a student must be from a family with "exceptional financial need," must be enrolled or accepted for enrollment, and must be capable of maintaining normal progress toward the achievement of a degree. Application for these funds is made by filing a Financial Aid Form. National Direct Student Loans (N.D.S.L.), previously called National Defense Student Loans, are long-term, low cost educational loans to students who have justified need for such assistance. No interest is charged and repayment is deferred while the borrower continues as a half-time student. Interest is charged at a three per cent annual rate beginning nine months after the borrower's education is terminated.

Tuition and Fees $2,386.00 Room and Board $1,200.00 The only standard charges not included in the comprehensive fee are the following: 1. STUDENT HEALTH INSURANCE: Health insurance is han- dled separately since it is deductible on personal income tax returns. The cost is approximately $35.00 per year. This health insurance is mandatory for all resident students. Payment for this policy is due upon registration in the fall. There is also an optional major medical policy for approximately $11.00 per year. 2. DAMAGE DEPOSIT: A $100.00 damage deposit is required of all boarding students.

The semester tuition, after half of the advance deposit has been credited, is due before registration day. The payment schedule is is follows: ^Dormitory Students Non-Dormitory Students FaU Semester $1,793.00 $1,193.00 Spring Semester $1,793.00 $1,193.00 $3,586.00 $2,386.00 Includes room and board. PART-TIME FEES Students enrolled part-time in day classes during the Fall or Spring semesters will be charged on a credit hour basis. This rate is $85.00 per semester hour. This rate is applicable to those students taking eleven semester hours or less. Students taking twelve to sixteen hours are classified full time.

These fees are for both room and board. WITHDRAWAL, DROP/ADD Students who find it necessary to drop courses or add courses must secure a drop/add form in the Registrar's Office. The form is the only means by which students may change their enrollment. A FINANCES / 35 drop/add form must be completed in the Registrar's Office during drop/add week. After the seventh day of classes, the professor must approve the change in schedule. The professor may issue one of the following grades: withdraw passing (G), withdraw failing (H), or may refuse to approve a drop. In order to receive a refund the class must have been dropped by the end of the twentieth class day. Students should note that any change of academic schedule must be cleared by the Registreir's Office. The date the change is received in the Registrar's Office will be the official date for the change. If a student misses six consecutive classes in any course, the instructor will notify the Registrar's Office and it will be assumed that the student has unofficially withdrawn from the course. This does not eliminate the responsibility stated above concerning the official withdrawal policy. The student may receive the grade of withdrawal passing (G), withdrawal failing (H), or failure due to excessive absences (E). This policy has direct implications for students receiving benefits from the Veterans Administration and other federal agencies as these agencies must be notified when a student misses six consecutive classes. This will result in an automatic decrease in payments to the student. Reinstatement in a course is at the discretion of the instructor. If a student is in need of withdrawing from school an official withdrawal form must be obtained from the Registrar. The Dean of the College and the Director of Financial Aid must sign the withdrawal form. The date the completed withdrawal form is turned in to the Registrar will be the official date for withdrawal. REFUNDS The establishment of a refund policy is based on the University's commitment to a fair and equitable refund of tuition and other charges assessed. While the University advances this policy, it should not be interpreted as a policy of convenience for students to take lightly their responsibility and their commitment to the University. The University has demonstrated a commitment by admitting and providing the necessary programs for all students and feels the students must also demonstrate a commitment in their academic program. The student insurance payment is a non-refundable charge which is paid directly to the insurance company under contract with the University. Since the coverage begins on the payment date and the fee is not retained by the University, it will not be refunded after registration day. A $100 fee will be retained by Oglethorpe as a processing fee when a student withdraws; all other fees except the FINANCES / 37 advance deposit (i.e., activity fee, post office box, tuition, room and board) are subject to the refund schedule. The date which will be used for calculation of a refund for withdrawal or drop/add will be the date on which the Registrar receives the official form signed by all required personnel. All students must follow the procedures for withdrawal and drop /add in order to receive a refund. Students are reminded that all changes in their academic program must be cleared through the Registrar; an arrangement with a professor will not be recognized as an official change of schedule. All tuition refund requests will be processed at the conclusion of the fourth week of classes. Payment will take a minimum of two weeks, but will be no longer than forty days. Refund Schedule By the end of the 7th class day ... 80% By the end of the 10th class day .. 60% By the end of the 15th class day .. 40% By the end of the 20th class day .. 20% After the twentieth day of class, no refund will be granted. In order to equitably administer the refund policy there will be no exceptions. Damage deposit refunds will be processed once each semester for students and will be mailed on an announced day from the Business Office. No refund will be processed until classes have ceased for the semester in progress. i STUDENT LIFE / 39 Student Life ORIENTATION Oglethorpe University wishes to provide for each student the opportunity of adequate adjustment to college life. Because we take pride in our ability and our tradition to offer students warm personal relationships, we have organized our orientation progrEim to provide these relationships, as well as much needed information about the University, Our program has been developed to serve the needs of students through small group experiences. Faculty, staff, and upperclass students comprise a team which leads the group process. Information is disseminated which acquaints the student with the academic program and the extra-curricular life of the campus community. Thorough understanding of the advisor system, the registration process, library use, class offerings, and study demands is sought. Alternatives for self expression outside the classroom are also presented to the new student. To supplement the student's experience, a Freshman Seminar is held weekly during the first semester. Topics discussed during these sessions will meet the needs of the developing student and will help the student assimilate the college experiences. The freshmen stu- dents, having completed the orientation progrsim and the series of seminars, will be better prepared to understand and appreciate their educational development. STUDENT RESPONSIBILITY Oglethorpe University takes the position that it is deeply concerned with the total development of the individual as a competent student and as a highly responsible citizen both on the campus and in the community. The University's high standards of personal conduct and responsibility are in expression of its confi- dence in each student's potential as a human being; however, the students must be as willing to accept adult consequences as they are insistent upon being granted adult freedom of decision and action. Unfortunately, neither knowledge and wisdom nor knowledge and integrity are synonymous; therefore, a firm grasp of academic studies will not in itself be an assurance that a student is profiting fully from the college experience. Individuals who do not desire to accept either this view of the University's responsibility, or live by its regulations, should not apply to the University for admission. Accepted students 40 / OGLETHORPE UNIVERSITY who demonstrate their unwiUingness to meet standards will be terminated from the Dniversity. STUDENT GOVERNMENT Undergraduate life at Oglethorpe is, in a large sense, one of a democratic community; student government is mainly self- government. The Oglethorpe University Student Association, con- sisting of the President, Vice-President, Secretary, Treasurer, and Pcirliamentarian of O.S.A. and the Presidents of the four classes, is the guiding and governing organization of student life at the University. Meetings are held regularly and notice posted. All students are urged to attend. Additional information may be obtained from O.S.A., Box 458, 3000 Woodrow Way, Atlanta, Georgia 30319. STUDENT ACTIVITIES Valuable educational experiences may be gained through active participation in approved csimpus activities and organizations.

The sorority is Chi Omega. These social organizations contribute substantially to the spiritual and social betterment of the individual and develop college into a richer, fuller experience.

COUNSELING The Counseling Service at Oglethorpe provides confidential pro- fessional assistance to students experiencing personal problems of a psychological, social, or circumstantial nature. Though academic advising is the responsibility of individually-assigned faculty advisors, students encountering unusual academic difficulties may wish to 42 / OGLETHORPE UNIVERSITY consult a counselor regarding possible contributing factors. Assistance in developing effective study skills is ilso available both in special work- shops and, if needed, in individual conferences. Psychological tests are sometimes utilized in conjunction with the counseling process when circumstances indicate that these would be helpful. There is no fee to Oglethorpe students for any of the counseling services provided. CAREER DEVELOPMENT Students needing guidance in selecting a career or assistance in obtaining appropriate job placement can receive help from the Office of Career Development. An extensive career development library is maintained containing information on a wide variety of career opportunities. Vocational interest inventories are also available and are frequently used as a part of a highly individualized process of career counseling. Oglethorpe University is a member of the College Placement Council and maintains contact with numerous local and national businesses, industries, and social service agencies for the purpose of arranging employment interviews for seniors. Information on full-time, part-time, and summer employment opportunities is being updated constantly and made available to all students and alumni. In addition, a central placement file is maintained on all students and alumni who complete the necessary forms and provide references of appraisal. Upon written request this placement file will be sent to any prospective employer or graduate school indicated. HOUSING The residence halls are available to all full time students. There are five men's residence halls and two women's halls. Both complexes have a Resident Director and a staff of student Resident Assistants. All students living in the residence halls are required to participate in the University meal plan. Meals are served in the University Center. Meal tickets are issued at registration. HEALTH SERVICE All resident students are required to subscribe to the Student Health and Insurance Plan provided by the University. The University maintains a small campus infirmary staffed by a registered nurse. The infirmary operates on a regular schedule, ind provides basic first aid service and limited medical assistance for students covered by the student insurance plan. STUDENT LIFE / 43 A physician visits the infirmary twice a week to make general diagnosis and treatment. In the event additional or major medical care is required, the student patient will be referred to medical specialists and hospitals in the area with which the health service maintains a working relationship. When it is determined that a student's physical or emotional health is detrimental to the academic studies, group-living situation, or other relationships at the University or in the community, the student will be requested to withdraw. Re-admission to the University will be contigent upon acceptable verification that the student is ready to return. The final decision will rest with the University.

ACADEMIC REGULATIONS / 47 Academic Regulations CLASS ATTENDANCE The University recognizes attendance at classes as the respon- sibility of the student. Students are held accountable for aU work missed. The exact nature of absence regulations is determined by the instructors for their own courses. Such regulations are published and distributed by each professor at the beginning of each term. GRADES A letter grading system is used. The range of "A-D" represents passing work; any grade below "D" is regarded as a failure. Students withdrawing from a course before the end of the semester are given a "G" or "H", depending upon the circumstances of the withdrawal. Students who do not meet aU the requirements of a course are given an "I" (incomplete) at the end of the following semester. If the requirements are met by mid-semester of the next enrolled term, the "I" is replaced by a regular grade. If they are not met within this time, the grade automatically becomes an "F." Grade structure and quality points are as follows : A Superior 4.0 B Good 3.0 C Satisfactory 2.0 D Passing 1.0 F Failure 0.0 E Failure: Excessive absences 0.0 G Withdrawn 0.0 H Withdrawn Failing 0.0 I Incomplete 0.0 P Passing (used in special cases) AU Audit (no credit) MINIMUM ACADEMIC AVERAGE Though the grade of D is regarded as passing, the University believes that students, in order to graduate, must exhibit more ability than that required by the lowest passing mark. Therefore, a student, in order to graduate from Oglethorpe, must compile an over-all minimum average of 2.2. No student will be allowed to graduate unless this minimum is met. For the student's own welfare, a graduated system of mini- mum averages has been established. Freshmen are required to 48 / OGLETHORPE UNIVERSITY maintain a cumulative average of at least 1.8 in their course work;* sophomores of at least 2.0, and juniors ind seniors of at least 2.2.

PROBATION AND DISMISSAL Freshmen who fail to maintain a cumulative average of at least 1.8, sophomores of at least 2.0, and juniors and seniors of at least 2.2, are placed on probation for the following term.

The first digit indicates the course level. (For example: freshman is 1; sophomore, 2, etc.) The second and third digits designate the discipline. Each level of offerings assumes the earlier completion of necessary prerequisites. The number of hours refers to the semester hours credit per term allowed for the course. The designation "3 + 3" or "4 + 4" indicates that the course carries 6 or 8 semester hours of credit, respectively, for two semesters of work. MAJORS PROGRAMS Upon entering Oglethorpe University all students are assigned a faculty mentor who assists them in the preparation of their academic program.

Changes of major must also be submitted to the Registrar for approval. Each student must declare a major before completing 60 semester hours. 56 / OGLETHORPE UNIVERSITY In addition to the required core program, most of the majors include three levels of courses; those prescribed for the major, directed electives recommended as immediately related to the major,' and free electives allowed to enable each student to widen his intellectual interests.
