WELCOME
FROM THE
PRESIDENT

Thank you for your interest in Oglethorpe's
University College program. I am extremely proud
of the quality education we provide to our students.
Oglethorpe's University College will transform,
empower and prepare you to meet life's many
challenges.

University College offers two bachelor degrees in six disciplines with
an academically challenging ciuriculum designed to help you achieve your
educational goals. Our dedicated students learn in intimate classroom settings
from a faculty second to none on the campus of the only coeducational liberal
arts college in Atlanta.

I recendy had the opportunity to join a University College class on maikedng.
When the class ended, I asked why the students had chosen to complete their
college education at Oglethorpe and why the professor had selected our
university 12 years ago as his teaching home. Almost an hour later, at well
past 1 1:00 p.m., I strolled through the campus reveling in the enthusiasm and
commitment to Oglethorpe I had heard expressed. I ended my evening with
an even higher level of energy and excitement than I had begun the day, some
16 hours earlier. I look forward to the opportunity to meet and talk with each
University College student, because I know that you offer a unique perspective
on the education we provide.

Again and again, I find myself going back to the Oglethorpe positioning
statement: Make a life. Make a living. Make a difference. It promises enrichment.
It promises a practical outcome. It promises meaning. And for me, as the president of
an institution with such intentional purpose, it promises the greatest challenge
of my career. Whether you are coming to Oglethorpe to begin your college
career, gain a second degree or complete your degree, I applaud and respect
your commitment and wish you well in your pursuit of knowledge.

Together, we will accomplish gieat things.

Best regards.

Lawrence M. Schall, J.D., Ed.D.

Mission

Mission of University College

University College offers an undergraduate curriculum for the adult student that
builds on the foundation of a liberal arts education and aims to enhance student's
skills in critical thinking, communication and basic academic competencies. The
underlying vision of the college reflects the three-fold philosophical and institutional
mission of Oglethorpe University and its commitment to making a life, making a
living and making a difference. The curriculum in University College reflects the
general mission and goals of Oglethorpe University, keeping in mind the particular
needs of adult learners.

Goals

Educators at Oglethorpe expect their graduates to display abilities, skills, intellectual
attitudes and sensitivities that are related to the University's purpose. The curriculum
and extracurricular life are designed to develop the following:

1. The ability to read critically - to evaluate arguments and the evidence and to
draw appropriate conclusions.

2. The ability to convey ideas in writing and in speech - accurately, grammatically
and persuasively.

3. Skill in reasoning logically and thinking analytically and objectively about
important matters.

4. An understanding of the most thoughtful reflections on right and wrong
and an allegiance to principles of right conduct, as reflected by Oglethorpe's
Honor Code.

5. The willingness and ability to assume the responsibilities of leadership in public
and private life, including skill in organizing the efforts of other persons on
behalf of worthy causes.

6. An inclination to continue one's learning after graduation from college and
skill in the use of books, information technology and other intellectual tools
for that purpose.

7. A considered commitment to a set of career and life goals.

8. An awareness of the increasingly international character of contemporary life
and skill in interacting with persons of diverse cultural backgrounds.

Oglethorpe University Vision

Oglethorpe University is a liberal arts institution with a 170-year tradition of
excellence in teaching and learning. The University's location in Atlanta offers
worldclass opportunities in business, government and the arts and provides a
powerful complement to Oglethorpe's small college environment.

The University's promise to students that they will learn to "make a life, make
a living and make a difference" continues to be confirmed by the significant
accomplishments of our graduates.

Our vision is to be known as the leading liberal arts institution in the Southeast.

We will achieve this vision by building on our tradition of academic excellence

10

both inside and outside of the classroom, energizing the campus experience and
connecting and contributing to the community.

Oglethorpe University Promise

Oglethorpe promises a classic education in a contemporary city. Oglethorpe
students learn to "make a life, make a living and make a difference." Our graduates
become community leaders who are distinctive in their ability to think, communicate
and contribute.

History

Old Oglethorpe University began in the early 1800s with a movement by Georgia
Presbyterians to establish in their state an institution for the training of ministers. For
generations, southern Presbyterian families had sent their sons to Princeton College
in New Jersey, and the long distance traveled by stage or horseback suggested the
building of a similar institution in the South.

Oglethorpe University was chartered by the state of Georgia in 1835, shordy after
the centennial observance of the state. The college was named after James Edward
Oglethorpe, the founder of Georgia. Oglethorpe University, which commenced actual
operations in 1838, was thus one of the earliest denominational institutions in the
South located below the Virginia line. The antebellum college, which began with four
faculty members and about 25 students, was located at Midway, a small community
near Milledgeville, then the capital of Georgia.

Throughout its antebellum existence the Oglethorpe curriculum consisted pri-
marily of courses in Greek, Ladn, classical literature, theology, and a surprising variety
of natural sciences. Oglethorpe's president during much of this period was Samuel
Kennedy Talmage, an eminent minister and educator. Other notable Oglethorpe
faculty members were Nathaniel M. Crawford, professor of mathematics and a son
of Georgia statesman William H. Cravs^ord; Joseph LeConte, destined to earn world
fame for his work in geology and optics; and James Woodrow, an uncle of Woodrow
Wilson and the first professor in Georgia to hold the Ph.D. degree. Oglethorpe's
most distinguished alumnus from the antebellum era was the poet, critic, and musi-
cian Sidney Lanier, who graduated in 1860. Lanier remained as a tutor in 1861 until
he, with other Oglethorpe cadets, marched away to war. Shortly before his death,
Lanier remarked to a friend that his greatest intellectual impulse was during his
college days at Oglethorpe University.

Old Oglethorpe in effect "died at Gettysburg." During the Civil War its students
were soldiers, its endowment was lost in Confederate bonds, and its buildings were
used for barracks and hospitals. The school closed in 1862 and afterward conducted
classes irregularly at the Midway location. In 1870 the institution was briefly relo-
cated in Georgia's postbellum capital of Atlanta, at the site of the present City Hall.
Oglethorpe at this time produced several educational innovations and expanded
its curriculum to business and law courses and offered the first evening college
classes in Georgia. The dislocation of the Reconstruction era proved insurmount-
able, however, and in 1872 Oglethorpe closed its doors for a second time.

Oglethorpe University was rechartered in 1913, and in 1915 the cornerstone to the
new campus was laid at its present location on Peachtree Road in north Adanta. Present
to witness the occasion were members of the classes of 1860 and 1861, thus linking the
old and the new Oglethorjje University. The driving force behind the University's revival
was Dr. Thomwell Jacobs, whose grandfather. Professor Ferdinand Jacobs, had served on
the faculty of Old Oglethorpe. Thomwell Jacobs, who became Oglethorpe's president for
nearly three decades, intended for the new campus to be a "living memorial" to James
Oglethorpe. The distinctive Gothic revival architecture of the campus was inspired
by the honorary alma mater of James Oglethorpe, Corpus Christi College, Oxford.
The collegiate coat-of-arms, emblazoned with three boar's heads and the inscription
Nescit Cedere ("He does not know how to give up"), replicated the Oglethorpe family
standard. For the college athletic teams, Jacobs chose an unusual mascot - a small,
persistent seabird which, according to legend, had inspired James Oglethorpe while
on board ship to Georgia in 1732. The Oglethorpe University nickname "Stormy
Petrels" is unique in intercollegiate athletics.

Although Presbyterian congregations throughout the South contributed to the
revival of Oglethorpe University, the school never reestablished a denominational

14

affiliation. Since the early 1920s Oglethorpe has been an independent nonsectarian
co-educational higher educational institution. Its curricular emphasis continued in
the liberal aits and sciences and expanded into professional programs in business
administration and education. From the 1920s through the 1940s, the institution
received major contributions from several individuals. Some of the most prominent
benefactors were: John Thomas Lupton, Coca-Cola botder from Chattanooga, Ten-
nessee; Atlanta business community members Harry Hermance and Mrs. Robert J.
Lowry; and publisher William Randolph Hearst. The latter gave to Oglethoqje a sizable
donation of land. In the early 1930s the Oglethorpe campus covered approximately
600 acres, including 30-acre Silver Lake, w^hich was renamed Lake Phoebe after the
publisher's mother, Phoebe Apperson Hearst.

During Thornwell Jacobs' tenure he launched several projects which brought
national and even international repute to Oglethorpe University. In 1923 Jacobs
discovered the tomb of James and Elizabeth Oglethorpe in Cranham, England. For
about a decade Oglethorpe University was involved in major college athletics, and
the Stormy Petrels fielded football teams that defeated both Georgia Tech and the
University of Georgia. Perhaps Oglethorpe's most famous athlete was Luke Appling,
enshrined in the Major League Baseball Hall of Fame. Dr. Jacobs in the 1930s be-
came, however, one of the earliest and most articulate critics of misplaced priorities
in intercollegiate athletics, and Oglethorpe curtailed development in this area. In the
early 1930s Oglethorpe attracted widespread attention with its campus radio station,
WJTL, named after benefactor John Thomas Lupton. Oglethorpe's University of the
Air was a notable experiment, which lasted about five years, that broadcast college
credit courses on the air waves. Oglethorpe University was one of the first institutions
to confer honorary doctorates on national figures in order to recognize superior
civic and scientific achievement. Among Oglethorpe's early honorary alumni were
Woodrow Wilson, Walter Lippman, Franklin Roosevelt, Bernard Baruch, Amelia
Earhart, and David Samoff.

Perhaps the best known of all of Jacobs' innovations was the Oglethorpe Crypt of
Civilization, which he proposed in the November 1936 issue p{ Scientific American.
This prototype for the modern time capsule was an effort to provide, for posterity,
an encyclopedic inventory of life and customs from ancient times through the middle
of the 20th century. The Crypt, sealed in the foundation of Phoebe Hearst Hall in
1940, is not to be opened until 81 13 A.D. It has been hailed by the Guiness Book of
World Records as "the first successful attempt to bury a record for future inhabitants
or visitors to the planet earth."

In 1944 Oglethorpe University began a new era under Philip Weltner, a noted
attorney and educator. With a group of faculty associates. Dr. Weltner initiated an
exciting approach to undergraduate education called the "Oglethorpe Idea." It
involved one of the earliest efforts to develop a core curriculum, with the twin aims
"to make a life and to make a living." The Oglethorpe core, which was applauded by
the New York Times, aimed at a common learning experience for students with about
one-half of every student's academic program consisting of courses in "Citizenship"
and "Human Understanding." After World War II, Oglethorpe University emphasized
characteristics it had always cultivated, notably close personal relationships, in order to
be, in Dr. Weltner's words, "a small college superlatively good." From 1965 through
part of 1972 the institution was called Oglethorpe College. But the historical identity
of Oglethorpe University was so strong that in 1972 the original chartered name was
re-established. Oglethorpe continued toward its goals and in the late 1960s began a
facilities expansion program which created a new part of the campus, including a
modern student center and residential complex.

15

By the 1980s the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching had clas-
sified Oglethorpe in the category of Liberal Arts I (now referred to as Baccalaureate
[Liberal Aits] Colleges I). These highly selective undergraduate institutions av^ard more
than half of their degrees in the arts and sciences. By the 1990s the University was
listed favorably in the Fiske Guide to Colleges, The Princeton Review Student Access Guide,
Barron 's 300 Best Buys in College Education, National Review College Guide - America 's
Top Liberal Arts Schools and many other guides to selective colleges.

The student body, while primaiily from the South, has become increasingly cos-
mopolitan; in a typical semester, Oglethoi"pe draws students from about 30 states and
30 foreign countries. The University has established outreach through its evening-
weekend degree programs; teacher certification and a graduate progiam in education;
and the Oglethoi"pe University Museum. Tlie University is also home to the Georgia
Shakespeare Festival.

As Oglethorpe University enters the 21st century, it has demonstrated continued
leadership in the development and revision of its core currictUum, with efforts funded
by the National Endowment for the Humanities. The historic district of the 100-acre
campus has been designated in the National Register of Historic Places. Enrollment
is about 1,300 with plans for controlled growth to about 1,500. Oglethorpe remains
on the forefront of educational innovation, with a curriculum that features interactive
learning. The University uses a variety of effective pedagogical techniques: perhaps
most notable are the peer tutoring program, classroom learning that is actively con-
nected to contemporary experience through internships and other opportunities
for experiential education, and a unique program in urban leadership that invites
students to consider ways in which they can become community leaders for the
future. Reflecting the contemporary growth of the city of Adanta, Oglethorpe has
recently developed a distinctive international dimension. Students at the University
may complement their campus progiams with foreign studies at sister institutions in
Argentina, France, Germany, Monaco, the Netherlands, Japan, Russia, Mexico, and
Ecuador. As Oglethoi"pe University continues to grow, academically and materially,
it is ever mindful of its distinguished heritage and will still remain, in the affectionate
words of poet and alumnus Sidney Lanier, a "college of the heart."

A Glossary of Oglethorpe Terms and Historical References

Academic quad The major academic buildings are arranged around a large
grassy rectangle. Many informal and formal activities take place on the academic
quad including Quadfest in the fall, the Stomp the Lawn Concert, and commence-
ment in the spring. The original gothic buildings on the academic quad are on the
National Register of Historic Places. Dr. Thornwell Jacobs called the granite halls
the "Silent Faculty," implying that they could inspire students to learn.

Battle of Bloody Marsh The "battle" is a tug-of-war between a student team
and a faculty/staff team organized by the Programming Board that takes place in
the fall on the academic quad. The name refers to the 1742 battle in which the forces
of General Oglethorpe defeated the Spanish troops in south Georgia.

Boar's Head Boar's Head is held in the Conant Center on the first Friday in
December. It begins with a procession of the members of Omicron Delta Kappa
in a academic regalia carrying a roasted boar's head on a litter. The procession is
followed by a reading of the Boar's Head story. The rest of the celebration consists
of a concert featuring the University Singers, the lighting of the holiday tree and a
reception sponsored by the Oglethorpe Student Association. The armorial crest of
General James Edward Oglethorpe, which depicts four boars' heads, serves as the
inspiration for this annual tradition.

Bomb Shelter The name for this snack bar and game room in the lower level
of the student center does not refer to any previous functions as a bomb shelter. It
was named for a video show, Bomb Shelter Television or BSTV, that was produced
by a student group for several years in the mid 1980s.

Bubble References to the 'Oglethorpe Bubble' remind one of the risk of suc-
cumbing to the cocoon-like atmosphere that can surround an Oglethorpe student.
In the warmth and comfort of the Oglethorpe Bubble the realities of life outside
the campus fence can seem remote.

Core, The (Core Curriculum) A distinctive element of an Oglethorpe education
since the 1940's, the Core, in its current form, provides a four-year common learning
experience for all students. The Core encourages students to pursue links among the
various areas of study and to appreciate the value of intellectual inquiry.

Crypt of Civilization Time Capsule Situated behind a stainless steel door in
the lower level of Hearst Hall, the Oglethorpe Crypt was identified by the Guiness
Book of World Records as "the first successful attempt to bury a record of this culture
for any future inhabitants or visitors to the planet Earth." Sealed in 1940 by Dr.
Thornwell Jacobs, the Crypt is not to be opened until 8113 A.D. It contains an
encyclopedic inventory intended to be a "museum" of representative culture from
the times of the Egyptians through the mid-twentieth century. The first item to be
seen upon the opening of the Crypt is the "language integrator," designed to teach
twentieth century English to the generations of 8113 A.D.

Crypt Capsule 2010 Located in the lobby of the Emerson Student Center, the
time capsule was sealed on Oglethorpe Day 2000 to help heighten awareness of the
Crypt of Civilization. It is scheduled to be opened on Oglethorpe Day 2010.

17

Elephant In November 1941 the Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey
Circus was performing in Atlanta. Eighteen circus elephants were poisoned by
what was later determined to be arsenic. When nine of the beasts died, an en-
terprising professor in the Oglethorpe medical school had one hauled to campus
and deposited behind Lowry Hall (now Weltner library) for use in his comparative
anatomy class. As the animal began to decay a hole was dug next to the body and
it was rolled in and buried.

Fishbowl The admission conference room off the foyer to the admission office
in Lupton Hall is commonly referred to as the fishbowl because only a glass wall
separates it from the foyer.

Georgia Shakespeare Georgia Shakespeare has been a fixture on the Ogletho-
rpe University campus since the 1980s when it has housed in a tent on the infield
of the university track and at other locations. Since the summer of 1997 Georgia
Shakespeare has shared occupancy of the university's Conant Performing Arts Cen-
ter, performing Shakespeare and other plays six months out of the year.

Great Hall of Hearst Phoebe Hearst Hall, named for the mother of William
Randolph Hearst, was built in 1915. The Great Hall is the building lobby that fea-
tures a large stone fireplace and beautiful carved woodwork. The Great Hall is the
site of many traditional events at the university.

nine, Lanier remarked that his greatest intellectual influence was his college days
at Oglethorpe University.

tower is trimmed in limestone. The tower is a monument to Margaret Lupton. Her
son and Oglethorpe benefactor John T. Lupton of Chattanooga, Tennessee, at one
time owned the exclusive franchise to the Coca-Cola Bottling Company. The tower

18

Cedere," which is freely rendered as "He does not know how to give up." This
phrase is used as the last line in the Oglethorpe alma mater.

Oglethorpe, General James Edward (1696-1785) General Oglethorpe, the
university's namesake, founded the Georgia colony at Savannah in 1733. The
university's collegiate gothic architecture was inspired by Corpus Christi College
of Oxford University, Oglethorpe's alma matter.

Oglethorpe Day Oglethorpe Day, the second Wednesday in February is a
festive occasion, which honors the founders of the university and serves to remind
members of the community of the institution's rich history and unique traditions.
Convocation kicks off the day's festivities, which typically include such elements as
music, drama, and food.

Oglethorpe Student Association This is the official name of Oglethorpe's
student government. The OSA is composed of three bodies - an executive council,
a senate and the programming board.

Old Oglethorpe University Originally founded in 1835 by Georgia Presby-
terians, Old Oglethorpe was one of the oldest denominational institutions south of
the Virginia line. It was located near the antebellum Georgia capital of Milledgeville.
The curriculum consisted primarily of classical languages and literature, theology,
and natural sciences. Oglethorpe's president during much of this time was Samuel
Talmage. Other distinguished faculty were Joseph LeConte, destined to achieve
world fame as a geologist, and James Woodrow, the first professor in Georgia to
hold the Ph.D. Old Oglethorpe, which is said to have died at Gettysburg," perished
during the Civil War.

Petrels of Fire Based on the Cambridge University tradition portrayed in
the movie "Chariots of Fire," the Petrels of Fire is a footrace that takes place on
Oglethorpe Day each year. In the race Oglethorpe runners strive to circumnavigate
the academic quadrangle beginning at the first stroke of 12 on the bell tower caril-
lon and finish before the final stroke.

Petey Petey the Petrel is Oglethorpe's costumed mascot. Petey appears most
often at basketball games.

19

Programming Board An elected body of the Oglethorpe Student Association
the board plans concerts, parties and other entertainment for the student body.

Recruitment Once known as rush, recruitment is the process by which frater-
nities and sororities gain new members. It consists of a series of events that are
designed to provide an opportunity for interested students to meet fraternity and
sorority members. Through the recruitment process interested students are able
to learn about the goals, purpose, and benefits of membership in a Greek letter
organization. At the same time the fraternities and sororities are able to get to
know those students who they will invite to become members.

Rikard Lecture Helping students understand current issues in business is the
purpose of the Mack A. Rikard lectures at Oglethorpe. The series, named for a
former trustee and benefactor of the university, brings a business or civic leader to
campus several times a year.

Stomp the Lawn This outdoor concert, produced by the programming board
in April on the academic quad, features a name band, booths, games of various kinds
and a picnic. Some bands that have performed at Stomp the Lawn are Drivin' N'
Cryin,' Jump Little Children, Edwin McCain and Michelle Malone.

Stormy Petrel (idiosyncratically pronounced "pea-trel") For sports teams
Oglethorpe University's mascot is the Stormy Petrel. The storm petrel is a small
sea bird that flies in the face of storms. According to legend, James Oglethorpe, on
his first transatlantic voyage to Georgia in 1733, was inspired by the persistence of
the stormy petrel. The petrel is sometimes thought by students to be extinct despite
the fact that it is one of the most numerous bird species on earth. The nickname is
unique in all of American intercollegiate sports. Duane Hanson, renowned former
Oglethorpe art faculty member, designed the stylized version of the petrel seen on
Dorough Field House.

Thalian Society Originally formed in 1839 at Old Oglethorpe in Milled-
geville, this organization is the university's oldest student organization. The
Thalians meet regularly to discuss issues of social, political, or philosophical
interest to the members.

Thermometer Also known as the keyhole, this is the common name for Muade
Jacobs Driveway that ends in a circular drive between Lupton and Hearst Halls.
Built in the 1920s the drive used to run out to Peachtree Road.

Tower The Tower is Oglethorpe's literary magazine. It is named for the rooms
on the top floor of the library, now occupied by the museum director, where its staff
meetings were first held. The magazine includes poems, short essays and stories,
photographs, and artwork by students, faculty and members of the Oglethorpe
community at large.

24 Hour Room There is a study room located on the entrance level of the
Weltner Library that is open around the clock for late night and early morning
studying, writing papers, etc. Snack machines are located in the room and it is the
only part of the library in which food is permitted.

20

Upper Quad This term refers to the residence hall area that includes Alumni,
Dempsey, Jacobs, Schmidt and Trustee Halls. They are laid out in a three-sided
rectangle with an open end.

Virgin Bourbon Party The purpose of this October party, sponsored by the
Oglethorpe Student Association, is to unite students, build community and prove
to everyone that students can have a good time without consuming alcohol. This
party is held in the Traer residence hall courtyard.

WJTL The campus radio station broadcasts over the Internet utilizing Real
Audio. The final three call letters stand for John Thomas Lupton, an early bene-
factor of the university and namesake of Lupton Hall.

Yamacraw Because the University serves as a "living memorial" to the founder
of Georgia, it features many references to the life and legend of General James
Oglethorpe. The school yearbook is named the Yamacraw after the Native American
tribe who befriended him in Georgia.

Academic Regulations
and Policies

Academic Advising

Students are assigned a special University College academic advisor and are
encouraged to meet with an advisor for academic advising as needed. Appointments
can be scheduled for morning, afternoon and early evening. Assistance w^ith degree
planning and selection of courses is available to all degree seeking and special status
students. Students v^th questions or concerns about coursework, faculty, policy, or
other academic issues, may contact the University College Office for an appointment
at 404-364-8383.

Registration

University College students select courses in consultation with an advisor. Reg-
istration deadlines are published in the University College schedule of classes each
semester. Students are responsible for submitting paperwork for all registration
procedures, including drop/ add forms and withdrawal forms, by the published
deadlines. Students are encouraged to register early to ensure optimum course
selection. Students may register for two sessions at a time. The following sessions
may be registered together:

Fall Session 1 & 2 (Registration begins July 18, 2005)
Spring Session 1 & 2 (Registration begins November 14, 2005)
Summer Session 1 & 2 (Registration begins March 27, 2006)
For financial aid students must register for two sessions at a time to meet federal
regulations. Please refer to the financial aid section of the Bulletin or contact the
Financial Aid Office for assistance at 404-364-8354.

Final Examinations

Final examinations are administered the last night of class. Final papers and other
course requirements are due at that time unless otherwise stated in the course syllabus.

Class Attendance

The first day of class is imperative for a good start to a successful session. Students
who do not attend the first scheduled day of class will be considered "no shows" un-
less they contact the instructor on or before the first day of the course. If a student
does not attend the first scheduled day of class, he/she will be responsible for either
dropping the course or withdrawing from the course.

Regular attendance at class sessions, laboratories, and examinations is an obli-
gation which all students are expected to fulfill. Faculty members set attendance
policies in their course syllabi.

Grading

Letter grades are submitted by faculty members at the end of each session.
These grades become part of the student's official record. Once entered, a grade
may not be changed except by means of an officially executed Change of Grade
form. Non-incomplete grades may not be challenged or changed after the end q{
the next session in which the grade in question was earned. Grade appeal procedures
are located on page 38.

36

A student's cumulative grade-point average (GPA) is calculated by dividing the
number of semester hours of work the student has attempted at Oglethorpe into
the total number of quality points earned.

The letter grades used at Oglethorpe are defined as follows:

plete the work, for a course on time for reasons of health, family tragedy, or other
circumstances the instructor deems appropriate, the grade "I" may be assigned. If
the student completes and submits the work to the instructor within thirty days of
exams (of the session in question), the instructor will evaluate the work and turn
in a revised grade. Any "I" not changed by the professor within forty-five days of
the last day of exams (of the session in question) will automatically be changed to
a grade of "F".

**** - Grade has no effect on the GPA; credit is awarded. Only work completed at
Oglethorpe is reflected in the Oglethorpe GPA.

Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory Option

After 30 semester hours are earned at Oglethorpe a student in good academic
standing may register to take two courses on a Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory basis.
These courses cannot be taken in the same session and cannot be used to satisfy
general education requirements or the student's major or minor. The student must
register for the Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory designation by the end of the Drop/ Add
period after which the Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory designation cannot be changed.
Satisfactory is defined as a "C-" or better.

Grade Appeals

The university considers instructors to be professional evaluators of the student's
academic performance, and expects them to assign grades fairly, without incon-
sistency or capriciousness. Whenever possible, students are urged to seek informal
resolution with the instructor.

If a student believes that a course grade has been assigned in a capricious or
inconsistent manner, and informal discussion with the instructor does not resolve
the dispute to the student's satisfaction, the student may appeal the grade through
the process described below:

1. The student submits a written appeal to the instructor, within 14 days after
the posting of the final grade, clearly stating the reasons he or she believes the
grade was assigned in a capricious or inconsistent manner.

2. Within 14 days of receiving the written appeal, the instructor either changes
the grade and so notifies the student, or responds to the student in writing, explaining
why the extant grade is appropriate.

3. If the student is not satisfied with the explanation, he or she submits copies
of the original appeal, the instructors response and one letter of explanation to
strate his or her reasons that the grade was assigned in a capricious or inconsistent
manner. This information is submitted to the Director of University College within
10 days of receiving the instructors written response.

4. Within 7 working days, the Associate Provost of University College will request
the instructor submit why the students grade has not been assigned in a capricious
or inconsistent marmer.

5. The Associate Provost of University College convenes and serves as chair
of a ruling committee. The ruling committee will review the letters submitted by
the student and the instructor. The ruling committee will review the letters submit-
ted by the student and the instructor. The ruling committee will review the letters
submitted and may request additional information before rendering a decision.
The ruling committee is comprised of the Associate Provost of University College,
Faculty Coordinator, and an instructor in a appropriate discipline.

6. If the ruling committee rules in favor of the instructor, written notification
is given both to the instructor and to the student, and no further appeal is possible.
If the committee rules in favor of the student, the chair advises the instructor to
reconsider the grade. If the instructor refuses to change the grade, the ruling com-
mittee may submit a written recommendation for a grade change to the Provost,
whose decision will be final and based upon a review of the materials that have
been submitted and the process that has been followed.

7. The entire process must be concluded by the end of the subsequent session.

38

Normal University College Academic Load

The class schedule is accelerated to facilitate degree completion. The school year
is divided into six eight-week sessions. Course offerings are planned and scheduled
with the assumption that most students will take two courses per session. Each
class meets 2 hours and 15 minutes, two evenings per week. Some Saturday classes
are also available.

Students may register for two courses per session which constitutes full time
status. If a student intends to pursue more than tivo courses per session the approval
of the Director of University College is required.

Incompletes

If a student is unable to complete the work for a course on time for reasons of
health, family tragedy, or other circumstances the instructor deems appropriate,
the grade "I" may be assigned. If the student completes and submits the work to the
instructor within thirty days of the last day of exams (of the session in question), the
instructor will evaluate the work and turn in a revised grade. Any "I" not changed
by the professor within forty-five days of the last day of exams (of the session in
question) will automatically be changed to a grade of "F". The grade of "I" has the
same effect as a grade of "F" on a student's grade point average.

Auditing Courses

Regularly admitted Oglethorpe students may register for courses on an "audit"
basis. A student who audits a course may attend for enrichment but will not be
required to take examinations or complete other course requirements. In order to
audit a course, an admitted student must request an Audit form from the University
College Office and submit it to the instructor for approval. If the class is not closed,
the instructor may accept the student as an audit by returning the signed form to
the University College Office. The designation given for a class taken on an audit
basis is "AU," and no credits or quality points are earned.

Students may register to take courses on an audit basis only during normal drop/
add periods. The fees for auditing courses are published by the Business Office.

Dean's List

Students who earn a semester grade-point average of 3.5 or higher carrying 12
semester hours or more during the fall, spring and summer semester are placed on
the Dean's Academic Honors List.

Graduation Exercises

Graduation exercises are held once a year at the close of Spring Session 2 in
May. Diplomas are awarded at the close of May commencement. To be eligible to
participate in May graduation exercises, a student must have fulfilled all degree
requirements prior to May commencement. Students completing requirements at
the end of summer and fall are encouraged to participate in the following spring
graduation exercises.

39

Good Standing, Probation and Academic Dismissal

To be in good standing students must achieve the cumulative grade-point averages
specified below in relation to the number of semester hours they have completed.
Semester Hours Completed Cumulative GPA Required for

Good Standing
0-35 1.50

36-59 1.75

60 and above 2.00

Students who fail to achieve good standing are placed on probation. Students who
do not achieve good standing for two consecutive sessions are subject to dismissal
from the University for academic reasons.

New students, freshmen, or transfer students who fail all courses during their
first two sessions at Oglethorpe are subject to dismissal, unless the student received
a "W" in all courses or had to withdraw from all courses for medical reasons.

Students who have been dismissed for academic reasons may be readmitted after
an absence of one session upon petition to the Provost. Students readmitted by pe-
tition must achieve good standing by the end of their second session as readmitted
students or be subject to permanent dismissal.

Degrees With Latin Academic Honors

Undergraduate degrees with Latin academic honors are awarded as follows: cum
laude for a cumulative grade-point average of 3.5 or higher; magna cum laude for 3.7
or higher; and summa cum laude for 3.9 or higher. Transfer work is not included in
the determination for Latin academic honors.

Double Major Policy

A student may earn a double major subject to the following conditions:

1. The student must meet all requirements of both majors.

2. The student may count no more than four of the courses taken to meet the
major requirements of one of the fields toward meeting the major require-
ments of the other field.

3. The transcript will list both majors. In case both majors result in the same
degree, that degree will be awarded.

4. In case the two majors result in different degrees, the student will receive
only one degree, that being the students' choice of the two degree designa-
tions.

Earning a Second Add-On Major Policy

Students who have been awarded an Oglethorpe baccalaurate degree may return
to earn a second major within that degree at the University. Upon completion of
the requirements, the second major will be entered on the student's record and
transcipt. No diploma will be awarded when the second major is within the degree
already awarded. The requirements are:

1. Completion of an additional 30 semester hours of which a minimum of 15
must be completed at Oglethorpe.

40

2. Maintenance of a 2.0 of higher culmulative grade-point average.

3. Completion of a major other than the major(s) completed at the time the
first degree was awarded, subject to the first two conditions listed above
under the Double Major Policy.

Earning a Second Baccalaurate Degree

Students who have completed a baccalaurate degree may be awarded a second and
different baccalaurate degree. Upon completion of the requirements, the student's
record and transcipt will reflect the conferring of a second degree and a diploma
will be awarded.

For students who have earned their first baccalaurate degree at Oglethorpe, the
same requirements listed above under Earning a Second Add-On Major Apply.

For students who have earned their first baccalaureate degree at another insti-
tution, this degree is treated as transfer credit. Up to a maximum of 60 semester hours
may be accepted at Oglethorpe. The requirements for the second degree are:

1. Satisfaction of Oglethorpe General Education requirements.

2. Completion of a minimum of 60 semester hours at Oglethorpe.

3. Maintenance of a 2.0 or higher cumulative grade-point average.

4. Completion of a major other than the major(s) completed at the time the
first degree was awarded.

All transfer policies stated in the section of this Bulletin entitled Transfer Stu-
dents and Transfer Policies apply.

Student Classification

For administrative and other official purposes, undergraduate students are
classified according to the number of semester hours successfully completed. Clas-
sification is as follows: to 30 hours - freshman; 31 to 60 hours - sophomore; 61
to 90 hours -junior; 91 hours and above - senior.

University College Students Seeking Transient Status

University College students may pursue classes at another accredited institution
with the appoval of his or her advisor and the Registrar. Failure to obtain this approval
may result in the denial of credit. Students must be in good academic and financial
standing with Oglethorpe University. Transient request forms are available in the
University College office.

Course Level

In the Programs of Study section of this Bulletin, disciplines and majors are
listed alphabetically. Respective courses under each are designated by a prefix that
identifies the discipline and a four-digit number. The first digit indicates the level of
the course: 1 = freshman level, 2 = sophomore level, 3 = junior level, and 4 = senior
level. (A 5 or 6 typically denote a graduate-level course.) Higher-level courses in a
discipline are typically designed to build upon the content of lower level courses in
that discipline and other specified prerequisite courses.

41

The number of hours refers to the semester hours of college credit per semester,
which are earned by the successful completion of the course.

Withdrawal From a Course

From the conclusion of the Drop/ Add period through mid-session, the grade "W"
or "WF" is assigned at the instructor's discretion to a student who withdraws from a
course and turns in a properly executed withdrawal form at the University College
Office. After the withdrawal period the grade "WF" is assigned. Only in the case of
prolonged illness (a physician's letter must be submitted directly to the University
College Office) or withdrawal from the University will a "W" be assigned.

Withdrawal From the University

Students who wish to withdraw from the University during a session are required
to complete the appropriate form, which is available at the University College Office.
The grade "W" or "WF" will be assigned for courses in progress, depending upon
the student's academic progress in those courses.

Repetition of Courses

Courses may be repeated only if an unsatisfactory grade ("D," "F," "FA," or
"WF") was received in the course. When a course is repeated, both grades are
calculated into the student's grade-point average, but no additional semester hours
of credit are earned.

For courses completed prior to 1984, consult the Registrar for applicable
regulations.

Access to Student Records/ Release of Information

To comply with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, com-
monly called the Buckley Amendment, Oglethorpe University informs students of
their rights under this act in the student handbook. The O Book. Three basic rights
are covered by this act: (1) The student's right to have access to personal records,
(2) the right of a hearing to challenge the content of a record, and (3) the right to
give consent for the release of identifying data.

Additional information may be obtained from The O Book and from the Registrar.

42

Oglethorpe Honor Code

Persons who come to Oglethorp>e University for work and study join a community
that is committed to high standards of academic honesty. The Honor Code contains
the responsibilities we accept by becoming members of the community.

The students and faculty of Oglethorpe University expect each other to be truth-
ful in the academic endeavor they share. Faculty assume students complete work
honestly and act toward them in ways consistent with that assumption.

Oglethorpe welcomes all admitted students who accept our principles of honest
behavior. We believe that this Code will enrich our years at the University and allow us
to begin practicing the honorable, self-governed lives expected of society's leaders.

Students pledge that they have completed assignments honestly by attaching
the following statement to each test, paper, overnight work, in-class essay, or other
work designated by professors:

I pledge that I have neither given nor received any unauthorized aid on this
assignment.
Signed

It will be the responsibility of the student to provide these pledges by either
attaching them on a separate sheet or typing them as part of the assigrmient. The
instructor also should remind the class to sign the pledge. The pledge serves as an
affirmation of the student's and the instructor's belief in the principles of the honor
code. Assigned work should not be considered complete without the pledge.

Since it is assumed that students act according to their pledge, faculty abstain
from any practices whose purpose is to ascertain that students have been dishon-
est unless there is a compelling reason to believe that cheating has taken place.
Instructors should invite their own students to discuss with them actions or policies
that appear to be at variance with the assumption of honesty.

All credit courses offered by the University are covered by the Honor Code, and
all cases of suspected academic dishonesty will be handled in accordance with its
provisions. It is the responsibility of faculty members to make dear how the Code
applies to specific courses and to follow its procedures. The Oglethorpe University
Judicial Review Board serves as the final arbitor in all disputes concerning the
Honor Code. For complete text of the Honor Code, please see The O Book, the
student handbook.

Tuition and Costs

Tuition and fees for University College undergraduate programs are listed
below for 2005-2006. Tuition reflects cost per course. Tuition and fees are subject
to change without prior notice to students.

Payment of tuition and fees is due at the time of registration each session. Fail-
ure to make the necessary payments will result in the cancellation of the student's
registration. Students receiving financial aid are required to pay the difference
between the amount of their aid and the amount due by the deadline.

Employer Reimbursement

Arrangements can be made for those students whose employers pay all or part of
their tuition and fees. At the beginning of each semester (at the time of registration),
students must complete a Deferred Payment Option: Employer Reimbursement form
for their course fees and pay a 25% down payment, plus a $25 administration fee.
The balance is due from the employer or the student 30 days after class/session
ends. Student accounts that are delinquent will be subject to late fees. Registration
for future sessions will be withheld on accounts with a past due balance. If you would
like more information, please contact the Business Office at 404-364-8402.

Drop/ Add

Students who find it necessary to change their enrollment by dropping or add-
ing courses must do so by obtaining a Drop/ Add form from the University College
Office. This form must be completed and returned to the University College Office
during the Drop/ Add period.

Students should note that any change of academic schedule must be cleared
by the University College Office. The date the change is received in the University
Cbllege Office will be the official date for the change.

Withdrawal

After the Drop/ Add period, the professor must approve the change in schedule.
The professor may issue one of the following grades: Withdrew Passing ( W), Withdrew

46

Failing (WF), or may refuse to approve the withdrawal. In order to receive a refund, the
student must officially drop the class by the date specified in the Class Schedule.

If a student must withdraw from a class or the University, an official withdrawal form
must be obtained from the University College Office. The instructor, the University
College advisor, Registrar and the Director of Financial Aid must sign the withdrawal
form. The withdrawal form must have all signatures and be returned to the University
College Office by the withdrawal date stated in the University College Calendar.
Not attending class does not constitute an official withdrawal. Students who do not
officially withdraw from a class will be held financially responsible for the class.

Institutional Refund Policy

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 under appropriate
circumstances. 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 to
students by admitting and providing the necessary programs and expects students
to reciprocate that commitment.

If a student must withdraw from a course or from the University, an official vth-
drawal form must be obtained from the University College Office. In order to recieve a
refund students must follow the stated procedures in the University College Course
Schedule. Students are reminded that all changes in their academic programs must
be cleared through the University College Office. Arrangements made only with a
professor will not be recognized as an official change of schedule.

As noted above students who do not officially withdraw from a class vnW be
financially responsible for the class. All tuition refund requests will be processed
within two weeks from the date of withdrawal.

Important to Note: University College Undergraduates

Eligibility for financial assistance is calculated on a semester basis; therefore the
refund policy must also be based on the same enrollment period. University College
is designed particularly for adult students by having two sessions per semester.

(A) A student who completely withdraws from all courses in the first session
of a particular semester, and who does not plan to return within that semester, will
be subject to the applicable Federal Return of Title IV Funds and/ or Institutional
Refund policies.

(B) A student who completely withdraws from all courses in the first session,
but states in writing to the Office of Financial Aid that she/he will return in the next
immediate session within the semester, is subject to the Institutional Refund Policy
only. However, should the student not return in the subsequent session, any refund
calculations will be reevaluated to consider the federal policies, where applicable.

(C) Students successfully completing the first session of a given semester who
do not return in the second, subsequent session will only be subject to institutional
policies. This also applies to students who do return but then drop one or more
courses in the second session.

47

Financial Obligations

A student who has not met all financial obligations to the University will not be
allowed to register for courses in subsequent academic sessions; he or she will not
be allowed to receive a degree from the University; and requests for transcripts and
transient status will not be honored.

48

Financial Assistance

Programs

Oglethorpe University offers a variety of strategies and resources to keep the
net cost of an Oglethorpe education affordable. Students interested in financial
aid should complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA,) which
serves as the approved needs-analysis form by v^hich students may apply for the
following need-based programs: Federal Pell Grant, Federal Supplemental Edu-
cational Opportunity Grant, Federal Perkins Loan, Federal Work-Study, Federal
Stafford Loan. After a student submits the FAFSA to the federal processor, the
school will receive from the processor an Institutional Student Information Re-
cord (ISIR). Upon acceptance to the University and receipt of the student's ISIR,
Oglethorpe's financial aid professionals will prepare a comprehensive financial
aid package, which may include assistance from any one or more of the following
sources:

Georgia Tuition Equalization Grant (GTEG) is available for Georgia residents
who are full-time degree-seeking students. The program was established by an act
of the 1971 Georgia General Assembly. The Georgia Student Finance 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
cost prohibitive due primarily to high tuition of these educational institutions
in comparison to public schools which are branches of the University System of
Georgia." All students must complete an application and verify their eligibility for
the grant. A separate application and proof of residency is required.

HOPE Scholarships of $ 1 ,500 per semester are available to Georgia residents
who have graduated from an eligible high school in 1996 or later, with at least a
3.0 grade-point average. Georgia residents who do not qualify under these guide-
lines but have now attempted 30 or more semester hours (45 quarter hours) with
a 3.0 grade-point average or higher may also be eligible. The applicant must be
a Georgia resident for one year prior to attendance at any college or university
in Georgia. Applicants must be registered as full-time, degree-seeking students
at a participating Georgia private college or university. Students entering the
HOPE Scholarship program for the first time after attempting 30 or 60 semester
hours should be aware that their grade-point average is calculated to include all
attempted hours taken after high school graduation. Recipients of the Scholarship
are required to maintain a 3.0 or higher cumulative grade-point average for rein-
statement. For more information, contact the HOPE Scholarship Program (770)
414-3085 or 1-800-546-HOPE.

HOPE Grant A grant of $750 per semester is available to students who are
enrolled at least half-time (6 hours) and who meet all of the academic and
residential criteria.

Federal Pell Grant provides non-repayable grants to undergraduate students.
Eligibility is determined from the FAFSA.

Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants (FSEOG) are non-
repayable grants awarded to undergraduate students with exceptional financial
need. Priority is given to Federal Pell Grant recipients.

Federal Work-Study Program (FWSP) permits a student to earn part of his or
her educational expenses. The earnings from this program and other financial
aid cannot exceed the student's financial need. Students eligible for this program
work part-time on the Oglethorpe campus.

50

Federal Perkins Loans are long-term, low-cost educational loans to students
who have demonstrated need for such assistance. For undergraduate students
priority is given to Federal Pell Grant recipients. Interest is charged at a five per-
cent annual rate beginning nine months after the borrower ceases to be at least
a half-time student (a minimum course load of six semester hours). Information
regarding repayment terms, deferment and cancellation options are available in
the Office of Financial Aid.

Federal Stafford (Subsidized and Unsubsidized) Loans are long-term loans
available through banks, credit unions, and other lending institutions. Students
must submit the FAFSA ( which you can access at www.FAFSA.ed.gov) and attend
at least half-time to receive consideration. A separate loan promissory note is also
required. Information regarding repayment terms, deferment and cancellation
options are available in the Office of Financial Aid.

Federal PLUS Loans are relatively long-term loans available through banks,
credit unions, and other lending institutions for parents of dependent students.
Parents desiring to seek a loan from this program should consult with the Office
of Financial Aid for additional information.

The Harold Hirsch Scholarship for Non-Traditional Students is provided
by the Harold Hirsch Scholarship Fund of Atlanta. The fund provides annual
scholarship assistance for degree-seeking students in the evening program. Harold
Hirsch Scholars must have at least a 3.0 Oglethorpe grade-point average, demon-
state leadership ability, and have financial need. Applications may be obtained in
the University College Office.

Other Scholarships visit UC office for a current listing of scholarships
targeted to adult learners.

Student Emergency Loan Funds

The Olivia Luck King Student Loan Fund provides short-term loans to enrolled
students from Georgia. The fund was established in memory of Mrs. King by her
husband, Mr. C. H. King of Marietta, Georgia. Mrs. King was a member of the class
of 1942, and Mr. King received his master's degree from Oglethorpe in 1936.

The David N. and Lutie P. Landers Revolving Loan Fund provides short term
loans for needy and deserving students. The fund was established by a bequest from
the estates of Mr. and Mrs. Landers of Atlanta.

Academic Policies Governing Student Fina^iicial Aid

* Based upon full-time enrollment. The maximum time frame for students enrolled part time
will be pro-rated. Students who earn over 144 hours will not be eligible for financial aid
unless approved through the appeal process.

4. Academic Standing Consistent with Graduation Requirements - Students
who have completed their second academic year (measured as a period of
time, not grade level) must maintain at least a 2.0 cumulative grade-point
average in order to be academically consistent with Oglethorpe University's
graduation requirements. A minimum of 60 semester hours must be earned
through coursework at Oglethorpe.

5. Annual Review - The satisfactory progress requirements will be reviewed
at the completion of each spring semester. If the student is not meeting these
requirements, written notification will be sent to the student placing him or her
on "Financial Aid Probation" for the fall semester. The student may continue
to receive aid during this probationary period but will be encouraged to enroll
in summer session courses at Oglethorpe University in order to make up the
deficiency. Any student who is not in compliance with the requirements by
the end of the fall probationary period will not be eligible for financial aid for
the spring or subsequent sessions until the requirements are met or a written
appeal is submitted and approved.

6. Appeal Process - If significant mitigating circumstances have hindered a
student's academic performance and the student is unable to make up the de-
ficiencies by the end of the financial aid probationary period, the student may
present those circumstances in a written appeal to the Admission and Financial
Aid Committee. Documentation to support the appeal, such as medi-
cal statements, should also be presented. The appeal should be submitted to
the Office of Financial Aid by the first of the month prior to the term begin
date in order to receive consideration at the next committee meeting. The
student will be notified in writing if the appeal has been approved or denied.

Application Procedure

Students applying for the Georgia Tuition Equalization Grant and HOPE Schol-
arship programs must submit a Georgia Tuition Equalization Grant Application
which may be obtained from the Office of Financial Aid.

The application procedures for the Federal Pell Grant, Federal Supplemental
Educational Opportunity Grant, Federal Perkins Loan, Federal Stafford Loan, and
Federal Work-Study Program are as follows:

Apply and be admitted as a regular degree-seeking student.

Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Stu-
dents should make a copy of the FAFSA before mailing it to the federal
processor. Oglethorpe's Federal School Code is 001586. You can find
application at www. FAFSA.ed.gov.

Keep copies of all federal income tax returns, etc. as these documents be
required in order to verify the information provided on the FAFSA.

Complete Oglethorpe's University College Financial Aid Application which
is available from the Office of Financial Aid.

New students who are determined to be eligible for the Federal Work
Study Program must complete the Student Employment Application form.
This form will be mailed during the awarding cycle to those students who
will be first-time recipients in this program.

If eligible for a Federal Stafford Loan, a Master Promissory Note must be
completed. Generally, loans are certified electronically and once guaranteed,
a promissory note will be generated. Students are notified to come to the
Office of Financial Aid to complete the note, or the note may be mailed to
the student for completion. The Master Promissory Note is valid for ten
years unless you change schools or your lender.

Federal Aid Eligibility Requirements

Demonstrate financial need (exception: Federal Unsubsidized Stafford Loan).

Have a high school diploma or a General Education Development

(GED) certificate or pass an independently administered test approved

by the U.S. Department of Education.

Be enrolled as a regular degree-seeking student in an eligible program

Be a U.S. citizen or eligible non<itizen.

Have a social security number.

Register with Selective Service, if required.

Must not owe a refund on any grant or loan; not be in default on any

loan or have made satisfactory arrangements to repay any defaulted loan;

and not have borrowed in excess of the loan limits, under Title IV

Make satisfactory academic progress. Refer to the Academic Policies
Governing Student Financial Aid.

May not be a member of a religious community, society, or order who by
direction of his or her community, society or order is pursuing a course
of study at Oglethorpe, and who receives support and maintenance from
his or her community, society, or order.

53

Financial Aid regulations require disbursement of funds on a semester sched-
ule. The University College undergraduate program offers two, eight-week sessions
per semester. Therefore students on financial aid must register for two sessions
at 9. time: Fall Sessions 1 & 2, Spring Sessions 1 & 2, and Svunmer Sessions 1 & 2.

Payment of Awards

All awards, except Federal Work-Study earnings and some Federal Stafford
Loans, are disbursed by means of a direct credit to a student's account. Only when
a student's file is complete can aid be credited to the account.

Return of Title IV Funds

If a student completely withdraws from Oglethorpe University during the first
60% of the payment period and has received federal student financial assistance,
the school must calculate the amount of federal funds the student "did not earn."
This process is required to determine if the school and/or the student must return
funds to the federal programs.

The percentage "not earned" is the complement of the percentage of federal
funds "earned." If a student withdraws completely before completing 60 percent
of the payment period, the percentage "earned" is equal to the percentage of the
payment period that was completed. If the student withdraws after completing 60
percent of the payment period, the percentage earned is 100 percent. If the stu-
dent has received more federal assistance than the calculated amount "earned," the
school, or the student, or both, must return the unearned funds to the appropriate
federal programs.

The school must return the lesser of: the amount of federal funds that the stu-
dent does not earn; or the amount of institutional costs that the student incurred
for the payment period multiplied by the percentage of funds "not earned." The
student must return (or repay, as appropriate) the remaining unearned federal
funds. An exception is that students are not required to return 50 percent of the
grant assistance received that is their responsibility to repay.

It should be noted that the Institutional Refund Policy and the federal Retiu-n
of Title rV Funds Policy are separate and distinct. Students who completely with-
draw after the Oglethorpe's refund period has passed and before the 60% point
of the payment period may owe a balance to the University previously covered by
federal aid. Students receiving federal assistance are advised to consult the Office
of Financial Aid before initiating the withdrawal process to see how these new regu-
lations will affect their eligibility.

Regulations require the return of funds in the following order:

1. Unsubsidized Federal Stafford loans

2. Subsidized Federal Stafford loans

3. Federal Perkins loans

4. Federal PLUS loans

5. Federal Pell Grants

6. Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants (FSEOG); and

7. Other federal aid programs.

Educational Enrichment

Career Services

The Career Services Office provides resources to assist students in making re-
sponsible decisions and strategies regarding career options and job search plans.
These resources include a career library w^ith information available from books,
computers, video tapes on occupations, the job search, and prospective employers.
SIGI PLUS, a computer-assisted career guidance program and other job search
programs, are available by appointment to explore options and locate employers
that match individual career interests. Workshops on resume writing, interviewing
and job search techniques are presented each semester.

In addition, a number of prospective employers send recruiters to the campus
each year for the purpose of conducting on<ampus interviews. Current information
on permanent, summer, and part-time job opportunities is made available to stu-
dents and alumni on-line.

Experiential Education

Beginning in the sophomore year, students can opt to further refine their career
plans through internships. These programs provide practical experience to complement
the academic program, as well as give students the opportunity to test the reality of
their career decisions and gain work experience in their major fields of interest. Stu-
dents who are already employed must be able to alter their work schedule and duties
for a minimum of 8 weeks to accommodate an internship.

Internships are available in a large variety of local businesses and organizations
including Deloitte and Touche, Atlanta Historical Society, CNN, Zoo Atlanta, IBM,
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and The Carter Center, to name only a
few. Oglethorpe is also affiliated with The Washington Center and The Washington
Semester Program of American University. Internships are available to students on-line
at www.monstertrak.com.

Internship opportunities are available in most majors for students who: (1) demon-
strate a clear understanding of goals they wish to accomplish in the experience and (2)
possess the necessary academic and personal background to accomplish these goals.
A minimum grade-point average of 2.0 is required to apply for internships. Transfer
students must complete two sessions at Oglethorpe prior to participation. Every in-
ternship requires a statement of objectives and academic requirements, in addition to
related academic assignments, developed in consultation vdth the student's internship
full-time faculty supervisor. Upon successful completion of the internship, the student
is awarded academic credit (graded on a Satisfactory/ Unsatisfactory basis) in recog-
nition of the learning value of the experience.

Students who are interested in an internship experience should first consult with
their University College Advisor and then visit the Career Services Office. Students
may earn 12 hours of internship credit toward their degree. Students seeking more than
3 semester hours (for one internship site) must submit an appeal form to the Caieer
Services Office indicating why the internship exceeds the normal number of hours and
outlining additional projects in which the student will participate. The Experiential
Education Committee will review the appeal for additional credit hours.

If no academic credit is needed or sought, a non<redit internship can be arranged,
utilizing the resources provided by Career Services.

UC students are required to have a full time Oglethorpe faculty member supervise
their internship.

It is the policy of Oglethorpe to ensure that all university goods, services,
facilities, privileges, advantages and accommodations are meaningfully accessible
to qualified persons with disabilities in accordance with the Americans with Dis-
abilities Act (ADA) of 1990, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and other
pertinent federal, state and local disability anti-discrimination laws.

Oglethorpe will provide persons with disabilities an equal opportunity to par-
ticipate in and benefit from programs and services as afforded to other individuals.
This is done in the most integrated setting appropriate to the needs of the individual
with a disability.

Where readily achievable, architectural and communication barriers will be
removed. New structures v^ll comply fully with all accessibility requirements. Altera-
tions will comply to the maximum extent feasible. Oglethorpe will make available
auxiliary aids and services, as appropriate to the individual and required by the
ADA, at no cost to the individual, provided that such auxiliary aids and services
do not require significant difficulty or expense.

Oglethorpe does not discriminate against any person who is related to or asso-
ciated with a person with a disability. Oglethorpe will comply with any federal, state
or local laws that provide individuals with disabilities greater protection, and take
other actions necessary to ensure equal opportunity for persons with disabilities.
This policy applies to the goods, services, privileges, advantages and accommod-
ations offered by Oglethorpe either directly or through contractual, licensing or
other arrangements. This policy is neither exhaustive nor exclusive.

Reasonable accommodations will be made on an individualized basis. It is the
responsibility of persons with disabilities, however, to seek available assistance,
register for services and establish their needs.

Learning Resources Center

The Learning Resources Center (LRC) provides individualized services at no
additional cost for students with learning disabilities and attention deficit disorders.
This program ensures that these students have an opportunity to participate fully in
the Oglethorpe experience. Students must meet established University admission
requirements and program technical standards. Qualified students must submit
comprehensive professional documentation that meets the established criteria for
accepting evaluations. Students approved for services are provided appropriate modi-
fications of regular academic class work. Students without documented disabilities
who are experiencing learning difficulties may participate in LRC skills-building
courses, workshops, and seminars as appropriate.

The LRC is located in Goodman Hall. The Learning Resources Director acts

Student Rights and Responsibilities

Students of Oglethoq^e University have specific rights and responsibilities, in-
cluding: the right to freedom of expression and peaceful assembly, the right to the
presumption of innocence and procedural fairness in the administration of discipline;
and the right of access to personal records.

As members of the Oglethorpe community, students have the responsibility to
maintain high standards of conduct and to respect the privacy, feelings and property
of other students and the University. Students are expected to display behavior v^hich
is not disruptive of campus life or the surroimding community. As representatives of
the University they are expected to act in a law-abiding and responsible fashion. All
students are subject to regulations and actions as set forth in the University's student
handbook, The O Book.

Student Role in Institutional Decision Making

Student opinion and view^s play a significant role in institutional decisions af-
fecting their interests and w^elfare. A comprehensive standardized student opinion
survey is administered to students annually. A Student Advisory Committee (SAC),
comprised of University College students v^^ho take an active interest in the issues
that affect the programs, services and students of University College, was formed in
1998. The SAC provides an important line of communication between the students
, and the administration of both University College and Oglethorpe University. The
advisory committee meets regularly. Participation is open to all currendy enrolled
University College students.

Cultural Opportunities on Campus

There are nimierous cultural opportunities for students outside the classroom. The
University Program Committee sponsors concerts, theatrical productions, poetry read-
ings, and lectures by visiting scholars. The Mack A. Rickard lectures expose students to
leaders in business and other professions. The University Singers perform frequendy
during the year, including seasonal events, and often feature guest artists. Oglethorpe
University Museum, located on the third floor of Philip Weltner Library, sponsors
exhibitions and lectures on associated subjects in the museum. The Playmakers stage
several productions each year in the Conant Performing Arts Center. Two annual
events, the Oglethorpe Night of the Arts and International Night, provide a showcase
for campus talent. The former presents student literary, musical, and visual arts. The
latter features international cuisine and entertainment. The Georgia Shakespeare
Festival, a theatrical company in residence on campus, is a valuable cultural asset to
the Oglethorpe community.

Policy on Discriminatory and
Sexual Harassment

Oglethorpe University places a high value on the dignity of the individual, an
appreciation for human diversity, and on an appropriate decorum for members of
the campus community. Harassing behavior can seriously interfere with the work
or study performance of the individual to whom it is addressed. It is indefensible
when it makes the work, study or living environment hostile, intimidating, injurious
or demeaning.

It is the policy of the University that students and employees be able to work,
study, participate in activities and live in a campus community free of unwarranted
harassment in the form of oral, written, graphic or physical conduct which personally
frightens, intimidates, injures or demeans another individual. Discriminatory ha-
rassment directed against an individual or group that is based on race, gender, reli-
gious belief, color, sexual orientation, national origin, disability or age is prohibited.
Discriminatory harassment is defined as unwelcome oral, written, or physical conduct
directed at the characteristics of a person or group such as negative name calling and
imitating mannerisms, slurs, graffiti, or the physical act of aggression or assault upon
another which interferes with the individual's employment or education; or creates
an intimidating, hostile or offensive employment or educational environment.

In addition, sexual harassment of a student by another student, of a student by
an employee, of an employee by a student, or of an employee by another employee
will not be tolerated and is prohibited. Any unwelcome sexual advance, requests for
sexual favors, verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature, or any verbal conduct
that might be construed as a sexual slur that: (1) interferes with performance or cre-
ates a hostile, offensive or intimidating environment and/ or (2) is an expressed or
implied condition imposed by a faculty member for evaluation or grading a student,
or by an employee for evaluating job performance or advancement of a subordinate
or colleague, will be viewed as misconduct.

Discriminatory and Sexual Harassment
Grievance Procedures

Oglethorpe University has adopted an internal grievance procedure providing for
the prompt and equitable resolution of complaints alleging any action prohibited by
regulations under Title VI, Title VII, Title DC, Section 504, the Age Discrimination
Act, and the Americans v^th Disabilities Act. The following university officials have
been designated to respond to allegations regarding violations of any of these regu-
lations: the Provost and Senior Vice President (Dr. Christopher Ames, Lupton Hall,
404-364-8317), the Director of Human Rescources (Ms. Carol Carter, Goodman Hall,
404-364-8325), or the Director of Counseling (Dr. Bonnie L. Kessler, Emerson Student
Center, 404-504-3415).

Complaints alleging misconduct as defined in this policy on discriminatory and
sexual harassment should be reported within 90 days of the alleged offense. Com-
plainants may seek informal or formal resolution. All complainants must complete
a written Discriminatory Harassment Incident Report which may be obtained from
any of the aforementioned officials.

Complainants are encouraged to explore informal resolution before filing a
formal complaint. Informal resolution focuses on communication, education, and

61

resolution while formal procedures focus on investigation and discipline. Informal
complaints will be resolved within 15 working days with a written resolution
given to each of the parties involved. If the situation results in an impasse, the
complainant will be given a notice of impasse within 15 working days from the
filing of the incident. If a notice of impasse is given and the complainant wishes
to file a formal written complaint, the complainant must do so within 30 working
days of the date of notice of impasse unless a waiver in filing time is requested.

When a formal complaint is filed an investigation will be initiated. The alleged
harasser will be given 10 days to provide a signed response to the requesting official.
A copy will be provided to the complainant. If the alleged harasser fails to respond,
the presumption will be made that allegation(s) in the complaint are true. A written
determination will be issued to the complainant within 60 working days of the receipt of
the formal written complaint. If the procedure requires an extension of time, the com-
plainant will be informed in writing of the reasons, the status of the investigation, and the
probable date of completion.

If the complainant disputes the findings or is dissatisfied with the recommend-
ations, the complainant may request reconsideration of the case by the President,
Dr. Lawrence M. Schall, in writing within 45 working days of receipt of the written
determination. Complaintants also have the right to file with the appropriate state or
federal authorities under Title VI, Title VII, Title IX, Section 504, the Age Discrimi-
nation Act, and Americans vsdth Disabilities Act.

Cases that may require disciplinary action vdll be handled according to the estab-
lished discipline procedures of the University. Student organizations in violation of
this policy may be subject to the loss of University recognition. Complainants shall
be- protected from imfair retribution.

Nothing in this policy statement is intended to infringe on the individual rights,
freedom of speech, or academic freedom provided to members of the Oglethorpe
community. The scholarly, educational, or artistic content of any written or oral pre-
sentation or inquiry shall not be limited by this policy. Accordingly, this provision will
be liberally construed but should not be used as a pretext for violation of this policy.

Accounting Major

(Bachelor of Business Administration Degree)

Accounting is the language of business. It is a service activity whose function is
to provide quantitative information, primarily financial in nature, about economic
entities that is intended to be useful in making economic decisions. The purpose
of the major in accounting is to acquaint the student vdth the sources and uses of
financial information and to develop the analytic ability necessary to produce and
interpret such information. The student learns to observe economic activity; to select
from that activity the events which are relevant to a particular decision; to measure
the economic consequences of those events in quantitative terms; to record, classify,
and summarize the resulting data; and to communicate the information in various
reports and statements to appropriate decision-makers.

Business Administration

Maj

I or

(Bachelor of Business Administration Degree)

The business administration curriculum is designed to prepare students for ca-
reers as business leaders who will earn their livelihoods by discerning and satisfying
people's wants and needs. Success in this endeavor requires (1) the ability to think
independently, (2) knowledge of business terminology and business institutions,
both domestic and international, and (3) communication skills. The ability to think
independently is enhanced through study of the courses in the core curriculum.
Courses in economics and the functional areas of business administration introduce
the student to business institutions, terminology, and methods of inquiry. Most
business administration and economics courses have a communications component.
These courses and the capstone course in business policy provide opportunity to
develop and enhance thinking and communication skills.

The program in business administration is also designed to give graduates a
solid foundation in the concepts and analysis of business functional areas that will
be needed for graduate study. Mainy graduates of this program go on to receive a
Master of Business Administration degree or a master's degree in a specific busi-
ness area.

In addition to preparing students for business careers and graduate school,
the program in business administration is valuable preparation for other careers.
Students learn administrative skills and methods of inquiry that are applicable in
governmental and non-profit organizations. Since much legal practice involves busi-
nesses and a knowledge of business terminology and institutions, this major is an
excellent background for the study and practice of law.

History Major

(Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Studies Degree)

History, it is said, is the queen of the humanities. The history major is designed
to give students a systematic understanding of cultures and civilizations across time
and space. The major is intended to be cross disciplinary, requiring students to
take courses in history as well as other relevant fields in the humanities and social
sciences. Through the range of courses, students may explore a wide range of prob-
lems and issues in the past, as well as their connection to current social, political,
and cultural realities.

In addition to providing students with a wide-ranging acquaintance with the
historical past, the major is designed to help students refine fundamental intellectual
skills. All the courses place a heavy emphasis on developing reading, writing, and
speaking skills. Texts and writing assignments are intended to help students hone
their analytical skills. Since many of the history courses are taught in a seminar
format, students must also present their views orally and be prepared to explain
them to their peers. The interdisciplinary component of the major serves to intro-
duce students to the wide array of methods that historians may use in their quest
to understand the past. Above all, the major is designed to provide students with a

Psychology Major

(Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Studies Degree)

Psychology uses scientific methods to study a broad range of topics related to
behavior and mental processes, including motivation, learning and memory, hu-
man development and personality, psychological disorders, social interaction, and

72

physiological bases for behavior and thought. The study of psychology should help
a student to develop skills in three basic areas: skills associated with the scientific
method, including data collection, analysis, and interpretation; skills that are useful in
the construction and evaluation of theories, such as analytic and synthetic reasoning;
and skills in human relations through which the student learns to become a more
precise and more tolerant observer of human behavior and individual differences.
Many students with a background in psychology choose careers in psychology-related
fields, such as counseling, psychotherapy, or research, but many others choose ca-
reers that are not so directly tied to psychology. For example, psychology provides
a good background for careers in law, education, marketing, management, public
relations, publishing, and communications.

The political thought and practice of the Middle Ages in the West were
profoundly shaped by Christianity. One of the distinquishing marks of
the modern era is the challenge by political thinkers of Christianity's
central role; the origins of that challenge are to be found in Machiavelli,

95

Hobbes, and Locke. This challenge, however, is not of the same nature as
the philosophical investigation of revelation which had been carried on
by ancient political philosophers. Not only that, but this challenge comes
hand-in-hand with an account of human life that is in many ways limited
and limiting even as it claims to be liberating. It provokes a critical reaction
from within the framework of modern political thinking. Some of the most
influential representatives of this criticism are Marx and the representatives
of the political movements his thought inspire. The primary goal of this
course is to gain an acquaintance with the uniquely modern way of resolv-
ing the tension between reason and revelation, its view of the regime and
citizenship, and its account of the human good. Prerequisites: UCCOM
