About LaGrange College

LaGrange College is called through The United Methodist Church to
challenge the minds and inspire the souls of students by improving their cre-
ative, critical and communicative abilities in a caring and ethical community.

Mission Statement

LaGrange College, established in 1831, is owned by the North Georgia
Conference of The United Methodist Church. LaGrange College is proud of this
relationship and believes that its mission is an extension of the work of The
United Methodist Church. LaGrange College is committed to the free, uninhib-
ited pursuit of truth. Academic freedom and free expression of faculty and
students are integral to the LaGrange College ethos.

LaGrange College is committed to challenging the minds and inspiring the
souls of students by improving their creative, critical, and communicative
abilities. Faculty recognize the part they play in a student's development by
serving as mentors and role models. The total LaGrange College program-
curricular and co-curricular-is designed to challenge and support students as
they deal with ftmdamental issues of self, world, and God.

The principal curricular means by which the College assists students in the
improving of their creative, critical, and communicative abilities are an interdis-
ciplinary, technologically sophisticated liberal arts program (A. A., B.A., B.S.),
professional programs in business (B.A., B.S., M.B.A), nursing (B.S.N.),
education (B.A., M.Ed.), and continuing education. The principal co-curricular
means is through a comprehensive program of student life and athletics.

LaGrange College strives to be a caring and ethical community. The
hallmark of the LaGrange College community is the quest for civility, diversity,
service, and excellence.

Accreditation

LaGrange College is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the
Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (1866 Southern Lane, Decatur,
Georgia 30033-4097: Telephone number 404-679-4501) to award the degrees of
Associate of Arts, Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Music, Bachelor of
Science, Bachelor of Science in Nursing, Master of Education, Master of
Arts in Teaching, and Master of Business Administration.

LaGrange College is also approved by the United Methodist University
Senate. It has membership in the National Association of Independent
Colleges, and the Association of Private Colleges and Universities in
Georgia. The Georgia Professional Standards Commission, which confers
professional certificates upon college graduates meeting requirements in
early childhood, middle grades, or secondary education, has approved
LaGrange College's program of teacher education.

The Bachelor of Science in Nursing program is accredited by the National
League for Nursing.

The undergraduate and graduate programs in business administration are
accredited by the Association of Collegiate Business Schools and Programs.

Evening College

The Evening College division of LaGrange College is dedicated to meeting
the educational needs of the adult learner whose career interests are in business
administration, criminal justice, or liberal studies. Recognizing that adult
learners may be managing personal, professional, and collegiate careers,
Evening College is structured to allow qualified students to earn an undergradu-
ate degree at night, through full-time or part-time study, without sacrificing their
professional and personal responsibilities. Evening College offers the Bachelor
of Arts degree in Business Administration, Bachelor of Arts or Associate of Arts

degree in Criminal Justice, and Associate of Arts degree in Liberal Studies.

Evening College offers an outstanding academic program in a supportive,
encouraging environment. The liberal arts based curriculum prepares learners
for the future through a curriculum that facilitates mastery in a discipline and
development of reasoning, decision-making and problem-solving abilities skills
vital for career success.

The academic year is divided into three 9-week quarters and one 7-week
summer session. Admission decisions are made on a rolling basis, and students
may begin classes during any term following their acceptance and return of the
enrollment deposit.

Admission

Freshman Admission

LaGrange College seeks to admit students who demonstrate the ability to
benefit from a quality liberal arts education. Eligible applicants to Evening
College are normally independent adults 24 years or older, who reside off-
campus, and are married or have dependents. Prospective students are encour-
aged to call the Evening College Office at 880-8298 to discuss the programs
available in Business Administration, Criminal Justice, or Liberal Studies and
the procedures to follow for application.

There are three steps to the admission process.

1 . Request an Evening College Application from the Admission Office, or
download the application from our web site at www.lgc.edu. The application
includes sections for both biographical and academic information. The
application also includes two Focus Questions; prospective students should
submit a written response to one of the two questions. Mail the completed
application and the $20.00 nonrefundable fee to the Admission Office, 601
Broad Street, LaGrange, GA 30240.

2. Request official transcripts from all high schools and colleges attended.
Transcripts and test scores must signed and sealed and forwarded directly
from the agency to the Admission Office. Copies of transcripts mailed,
faxed, or delivered by a prospective student are not acceptable. Students
who earned a G. E. D. in lieu of a high school diploma must submit an
official copy of the examination score, following the same procedure as
noted above. Please note that applicants who are independent students,
aged 24 or older, with a minimum of two years work experience are not
required to submit SAT or ACT scores as a part of the application.

3. Schedule an appointment for a conversation with the Director of
Evening College.

The Admission Committee will review the completed application. Each
application is carefully and thoughtfully evaluated for academic preparation and
ability, as evidenced by the transcript(s) and essay. The conversation with the
Director is an important part of the admission process, allowing the student to
ask questions about the program, and to discuss his/her intended study program.

The Admission Committee reviews applications on a rolling basis; appli-
cants should allow a minimum of two weeks for completed applications to be
processed. The Admission Office will contact the applicant in writing, express-
ing the Committee's decision. Regular admission will be extended to those
applicants who meet all of the requirements for admission; enrollment will
normally be effective at the beginning of the next academic term. Provisional
admission may be extended, when, in the opinion of the Committee, a candidate
does not fully meet the standard admission criteria, but has the potential to be a
successful Evening College student. A student who is offered a provisional
acceptance must earn a 1.6 during the first quarter of attendance, in order to
continue enrollment. In some instances, a candidate who appears to meet the
standard admission criteria may experience unexpected delays in forwarding
official transcripts to the Admission Office. In this case, a conditional admis-
sion offer may be tendered with full admission contingent upon receipt of the
necessary paperwork within 30 days of enrollment.

Transfer Admission

Students attending another institution may apply for transfer admission
providing they are eligible to return to their current institution at the time of
entry to LaGrange College. The College will evaluate course work from
regionally accredited college and universities for LaGrange College academic
credit. Normally, credit will be given for classes comparable to LaGrange
College subjects for which the applicant earned a grade of "C" or above. If
transferring from a junior college, credit may be earned for a maximum of 90

10

quarter hours of coursework. Further information about the awarding of transfer
credit may be obtained from the Registrar's Office.

Readmission

If a student has not attended Evening College for four quarters, or was not
in good standing during the last quarter completed, s/he must submit an Applica-
tion for Readmission (available in the Admission Office) before attempting to
register for additional course work. Students who were absent for three quarters
or less, and who were in good academic standing when they last attended, may
re-activate their student file through the Registrar's Office without applying for
readmission. Students who have not attended another institution while absent
from LaGrange College are generally governed by the Bulletin in force at the
date of their initial enrollment. Students who have been out of school for four or
more calendar years are subject to the Bulletin in force at the time of their
readmission and resumption of study.

If a student seeking readmission has attended another institution as a
transfer student since leaving LaGrange College, he/she will - if admitted - be
considered as a transfer student. Transfer students will be subject to the Bulletin
in force at the time of their transfer back to LaGrange College.

Enrollment

After an offer of admission is extended, applicants who intend to accept the
offer will be asked to submit an enrollment deposit of $100.00 to reserve a space
in the class for the upcoming term. The deposit will be considered as a credit
toward tuition due. Accepted students will receive communications from the
Evening College and Registrar's offices explaining the process for course
registration, placement testing, book purchases, and other subjects of importance
to new students.

Financial Planning

Philosophy

LaGrange College believes that families should contribute to the educa-
tional expenses of attending a college or university to the extent of their ability.
The Financial Aid Office is available to assist families in meeting the difference
between the cost of education at LaGrange College and what the family can
contribute. The Financial Aid Office at LaGrange College attempts to defray the
cost of education from all available Federal and State sources. The student
should be prepared to assume a measure of responsibility in meeting educational
expense through self-help financial aid sources such as student loans.

Payment of Charges

Evening College tuition for the 2000-2001 academic year is $165.00 per
quarter hour. There are no additional general or course fees.

All financial charges are due and payable before the beginning of each term.
Students who pre-register will be billed in advance of each term by the Business
Office, with a due date specified on the invoice. Smdents who fail to submit
payment, or make arrangements with the Business Office by the due date, will
have their schedules voided by the Registrar, and will need to re-register in
person after the account is settled. Students who are supported by an employer's
tuition reimbursement program should contact the Business Office to discuss
options for billing and payment.

Refund Policy

Refunds for individual courses may only be granted in accordance with the
deadline dates established by the Evening College calendar. Properly submitted
reftind requests will be processed by the Business Office within 1 days of
notification from the Registrar's Office of withdrawal.

12

A student considering a complete withdrawal from all courses for the term
should contact the Director of Evening College to begin with withdrawal
process. The student should also consult with the Financial Aid and Business
Offices to determine the financial impact of a complete withdrawal.

See page 25 for the refimd policies for students receiving financial aid.

Financial Aid - General Information

Students in need of financial assistance must complete a federal need
analysis form, the Free Application for Federal Student Aid form (FAFSA). The
FAFSA collects information concerning student's income, assets, and untaxed
income, family size, and the number in college. This information is used in a
federal need analysis calculation to determine what the family should be able to
contribute towards educational expenses. This amount is called the Expected
Family Contribution (EFC).

Cost of Attendance is an estimate of the annual cost for a student to attend
LaGrange College. In addition to tuition, the Cost of Attendance includes books
and supplies, room and board, and living expenses. Other components of the
Cost of Attendance, which are applied on an individual basis, include childcare
expenses, loan fees, and computer costs. These items may require documenta-
tion from the student. The Cost of Attendance Budget for independent Evening
College students for the 2000-2001 academic year is $17,200.

The Expected Family Contribution (EFC) is deducted from the Cost of
Attendance at LaGrange College to determine whether a need for financial
assistance exists. If the family's EFC is less than the Cost of Attendance, a
financial need is established, and the Financial Aid Office will work with the
family to assist in meeting that need.

13

Satisfactory Academic Progress

The United States Department of Education requires institutions of higher
education to establish a satisfactory academic progress policy to be applied to all
recipients of federal financial aid. Satisfactory academic progress means that
the student is progressing in a positive maimer consistent with fijlfiUing degree
requirements. Satisfactory academic progress is evaluated throughout the course
of the degree program. The Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy includes
qualitative and quantitative components and financial aid recipients must meet

15

both standards to qualify for financial aid. Qualitative progress is a measure of
the cumulative grade point average. The number or percentage of courses
completed indicates quantitative progress. The quantitative component also
establishes the maximum time frame for completing a degree program.

The standards established in the Satisfactory Academic Progress policy
apply to all federal and state programs discussed in this Bulletin, with the
exception of the Law Enforcement Personnel Dependents Grants.

Qualitative Standard

Federal regulations require an undergraduate student to have a 2.0 cumula-
tive grade point average at the end of the second year or, that which is consistent
with the institution's policy governing academic progress. LaGrange College
has set the following minimum grade point average requirements. The Registrar
and Academic Dean monitor this component of the policy each term.

Classification Minimum Cumulative

Grade Point Average
Freshman 1.65

Sophomore 1.75

Junior 1.85

Senior 2,0

Quantitative Standard

Students receiving funds from any of the financial programs covered under
this policy must demonstrate measurable progress toward the completion of their
degree program. LaGrange College requires students to successfully complete
67% of the credit hours for which the student enrolls each academic term. The
credits hours considered under this policy will be those for which the student is
registered at the end of late registration. Grades of A, B, C, or D are considered
as successful completion of a course. Grades of F, W, WF, NR, or I are consid-
ered failing and do not count as successfiilly completed courses. Audited
courses are not considered in either the quantitative or qualitative standards.

the quantitative standard.

Maximum Time Frame

Federal regulations allow a student to receive financial assistance for no
more than 150% of the credit hours required to complete the degree program.
Therefore, students pursuing a bachelor's degree must complete their program
within 162 attempted credit hours. Most students will complete the program
within the time frame. However, frequent withdrawals from courses or school,
change of major, failed courses, repeated courses, or courses taken that are not
related to your degree program could jeopardize financial aid eligibility. All
attempted hours are considered when reviewing maximum time frame.

Transfer students must complete their program within a maximum of 162
credit hours. Hours transferred to and accepted by LaGrange College fi-om other
institutions are considered in the maximum time frame. For example, if a
student has 75 credit hours acceptable towards their degree program, the student
may receive financial assistance for 87 additional credit hours.

Students pursuing an additional bachelor's degree or a master's degree are
eligible for an additional 60 semester hours to complete the degree.

Evaluation

The cumulative academic history of financial aid recipients is reviewed
each term to determine if the student is meeting the quantitative, qualitative
and time frame standards for all courses attempted, regardless of whether or
not financial aid was received. Courses transferred to LaGrange College and

17

transfer grade point averages are not considered in measurement of qualitative
and quantitative standards. However, accepted transfer credits will be
considered in the maximum time frame for completing a degree program.
Students who fail to meet both qualitative and quantitative standards will be
placed on financial aid probation. Students placed on financial aid probation
are eligible for financial aid during the probationary term. If the student does
not meet the satisfactory academic progress standards at the end of the
probationary term, future financial aid will be terminated effective with the
next term of enrollment. Students whose financial aid is terminated may
appeal to the Financial Aid Appeals Committee for re-instatement of financial
aid.

Appeal Process

Student financial aid recipients who lose their eligibility for financial
aid may appeal in writing to the Financial Aid Appeals Committee except for
loss of eligibility due to timeframe. Appeals must be submitted in writing to
the Director of Financial Aid outlining any mitigating circumstance(s) that
impacted the student's academic performance, documentation of
circumstance(s), if applicable, and how the deficiency will be resolved. The
Director will convene the Financial Aid Appeals Committee to evaluate the
request for reinstatement of financial aid eligibility. The Director of Financial
Aid will notify the student in writing of the decision of the Committee and any
conditions associated with reinstatement. Students whose appeals are approved
will receive financial aid on probadonary status for the next term of enrollment
and will have their academic performance reviewed at the end of that term for
continued eligibility.

Student Financial Aid Policy

Each year the Financial Aid Office receives more applications for financial
assistance than funds are available. Funding for Federal Pell Grant and Federal

Stafford Loans are available throughout the academic year. However, grant
assistance is awarded on a first-come, first-served basis. In awarding, first
priority is given to students pursuing their first undergraduate degree. Transient
and non-degree seeking undergraduate students are not eligible for financial
assistance.

State grant programs (HOPE Scholarship, Governor's Honor and Georgia
Tuition Equalization Grant) require full-time enrollment to qualify.
Evening College students enrolling less than full-time in a degree program are
eligible for a Federal Stafford or Federal Perkins loan and Federal Supplemental
Educational Opportunity Grant. Pell eligible students are eligible for a prorated
amount of their Pell award based on their enrollment status. Pell eligible
students enrolling in 9-1 1 credit hours will qualify for seventy-five percent of
their Pell award; students enrolling in 6-8 credit hours will qualify for fifty
percent of their Pell award; students enrolling in less than 6 credit hours will,
generally, receive twenty-five percent of their Pell award.

Students completing a FAFSA and receiving financial aid assistance must
report any scholarships, grants, or loans received from outside sources. These
resources must be considered in awarding state and federal financial aid pro-
grams. LaGrange College reserves the right to cancel or reduce financial aid
awards in the event that these resources result in financial aid in excess of the
established financial need.

A student's enrollment status will be based on the credit hours registered for
and attending after the conclusion of late registration. All financial aid awards
will be calculated using final registration information. Fulltime enrollment
status is defined as 12 or more quarter hours; + enrollment represents 9-11
quarter hours; + status is assigned for 6-8 quarter hours of study for the term.

Federal Financial Aid Programs

Federal Pell Grant is awarded to undergraduate students pursuing a first
bachelor's degree. The student's Expected Family Contribution, Cost of

19

Attendance, and enrollment status determines the Pell award. Students enrolling
less than full-time qualify for a prorated amount of Pell Grant based on their
enrollment status.

Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant is awarded to
undergraduate students with exceptional need. Priority is given to students
eligible for the maximum Pell award.

Federal Perkins Loan is a low interest, repayable loan awarded to students
with exceptional financial need. The interest rate is 5% and no interest accrues
on the loan while the borrower is enrolled half time and during the grace period.
Repayment begins nine months after graduation or withdrawal from school..,
Funding in this program is limited; students may contact the Financial Aid
Office for more information.

Federal Stafford Loan is a low interest, repayable loan available to
students regardless of income. The interest rate is variable, but will never be
more than 8.25%. The interest rate is adjusted each July 1. Federal Stafford
Loans allow for a six (6) month grace period before the borrower begins
repayment, and require repayment within a ten-year period. Loans are available
through banks, credit unions, and other lending institutions and not subject to
credit approval. The only qualification for receiving a Federal Stafford Loan is
to meet the eligibility requirements for financial assistance.

The Stafford Loan Program is composed of subsidized and unsubsidized
loans. K subsidized loan is awarded on the basis of financial need. Subsidized
loans borrowers will not pay interest on the loan while enrolled in school, during
the grace period, or during authorized periods of deferment. The federal
government pays the interest. An unsubsidized loan is not awarded on the basis
of need. Any student regardless of income may participate in this loan program.
However, interest does accrue while the student is enrolled in school, during the
grace period, and during deferment periods. The borrower has the options of
paying the accrued interest or having the interest capitalized. Capitalization

20

adds the interest to principal amount of the loan. This option will increase the
loan payments.

The annual maximum awards from the Federal Stafford Loan Program are
dependent on the borrower's classification and dependency status as indicated in
the following chart.

Classification Dependent Independent

Freshmen $2,625.00 $ 6,625M^

Sophomores $3,500.00 % 7,500.00^

Juniors and Seniors $5,500.00 $ 1 0,500,00*

Only the dependent student amounts may be subsidized. The additional
amounts in the "Independent" column represent unsubsidized funds.

The Federal Stafford Loan Program has a maximum aggregate (lifetime)
limit on the amount of funds you may borrow. The aggregate loan limit for
undergraduate independent students is $46,000.

Loan Repayment

Student loans are excellent sources of financial assistance in defraying
education costs. However, borrowers should always remember that they are
obligated to repay these loans. LaGrange College encourages students to
borrow responsibly. The chart on the following page provides typical repayment
information of student loans and assumes unsubsidized borrowers paying
interest while enrolled and during grace period.

resident is one who has physically lived in the state for a minimum of 12
consecutive months for some purpose other than to attend school and intends to
remain in the state indefinitely. An applicant for financial aid will be considered
a resident of Georgia if he/she can demonstrate that he or she has physically
resided in the state for twelve consecutive months prior to the first date of
enrollment and can provide documentation of intent to remain indefinitely.
Acceptable documentation of intent to remain indefinitely includes but is not
limited to a Georgia driver's license, voter registration card, automobile registra-
tion or other definitive evidence. Residency is established twelve months fi^om
the date the documentation was issued. If the Evening College student is a depen-
dent student, the residency of the supporting parent drives the residency of the
student. The Director of Financial Aid makes the final determination of residency.

Georgia Tuition Equalization Grant is a non-need-based grant fi-om the
state to Georgia residents attending a private college or university full-time. The
annual amount is contingent upon funding by the Georgia Legislature. The
amount of the grant beginning Fall 2000 is $1,050.

Since 1993, the HOPE Scholarship Program has provided scholarship
assistance for Georgia residents. Georgia residents who graduated from high
school on or after June 1996 with a 'B' average are eligible for a $3,000 per year
scholarship to attend a Georgia private college or university. Evening College
students who believe they qualify for this program should contact the Director of
Financial Aid for more information.

Georgia Work Incentive for Student Education provides employment
opportunities to Georgia residents to assist with the cost of educafion at Georgia
colleges and universities.

Law Enforcement Personnel Dependents Grants provides non-repayable
grants of up to $2,000 per year to eligible Georgia residents who are dependent
children of Georgia law enforcement officers, prison guards, or firemen who
were permanently disabled or killed in the line of duty.

23

Disbursement of Financial Aid

All financial aid funds are credited directly to the student's account. The
funds are applied towards current tuition, fees, room, board, and other charges as
authorized by the student. Financial aid recipients should be aware that finan-
cial aid funds are for educational expenses only; students who fail to enroll or
attend classes are not eligible for financial aid awards. Disbursements will only
be made to students who have submitted all required documents for disburse-
ment, are registered, meeting satisfactory academic progress standards, and are
enrolled for the appropriate number of credits hours to establish eligibility for
individual financial aid programs. Financial aid disbursements are based on the
recipient's enrollment status at the conclusion of late registration. Below are
individual enrollment and eligibility requirements for disbursement of financial
aid programs.

Federal Pell Grant and Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity
Grant Awards will be based on final registration enrollment status. This
program does not require full-time enrollment. However, Federal Pell Grant
awards are prorated based on the recipient's enrollment status.

HOPE Scholarship and Georgia Tuition Equalization Grant recipients
must maintain full-time enrollment for 14 days beyond the end of late registra-
tion. Students who drop below full-time before the end of the eligibility period
will forfeit funds for the semester or quarter.

Recipients of Federal Perkins and Federal Stafford must be enrolled at
least halftime to qualify for each disbursement. Borrowers who fail to register
half time will have their loan funds returned to the lender and future disburse-
ments cancelled. New borrowers and transfer students are required to complete
entrance loan counseling before loan proceeds may be disbursed. Federal
Stafford loans are disbursed electronically and credited to the student's account.
Perkins borrowers must sign their promissory note for each disbursement of
their loan. First year, first time Perkins and Stafford loan borrowers are

24

subjected to delayed disbursement which means the borrower must maintain
enrollment for 30 days before loan funds may be disbursed. A payment waiver
may be obtained from the Business Office for funds subjected to delayed
disbursement. The student will not be charged interest or assessed penalties as a
result of this requirement

Scholarships, grants, and loans from other sources will be disbursed as
specified by the donor.

Disbursement of Excess Financial Aid

Students with a residual financial aid funds after tuition and other autho-
rized charges are paid will receive a refund of the remaining credit balance
within 14 days of the beginning of classes or 14 days from the date the credit
occurs (if after final registration). All refunds must be retrieved from the
Business Office and require a picture ID before disbursement. If the student
wishes to leave the credit balance on the account for subsequent terms, he/she
may sign an authorization form with the Business Office.

Student Financial Aid and Federal Tax Implications

Students receiving scholarships and grants that exceed their tuition, fees,
book and supplies should be aware that these funds are taxable under federal and
state tax law. It is important that students maintain records of their grants and
scholarships and documentation of educational expenses for reporting purposes.

Federal tax law allows for only qualified scholarships and grants to be
excluded from income. Qualified scholarships are any amount of grant and
scholarship you receive that is used for tuition, fees, books, supplies and
equipment required for your course instruction. Scholarships and grants that
are specifically designated for educational expenses other that those described
under qualified scholarships (room, board, transportation, or living expenses) are
taxable.

Academic Support Services

William & Evelyn Banks Library

The Banks Library provides up-to-date resources that support the curricu-
lum and general information needs of students and faculty. Those resources
include over 135,000 cataloged volumes, 121,000 microfilm units, over 70
GALILEO databases and indexes, over 100 scholarly journals in electronic

processing, presentation software, e-mail, and the Online Catalog and databases.
The Center offers, for students and faculty, use of a scanner, computer projector,
digital camera, and computer workstations in a classroom setting. Groups study
rooms, study carrels, video viewing rooms, and a large conference room all also
available for student use.

Four professional librarians, three paraprofessionals, and student assistants
staff the library, which is open seven days per week.

Academic Advising

The Director of Evening College will serve as the advisor to Evening
College students prior to their declaration of a major in Business Administration,
Criminal Justice, or Liberal Studies. The advisor functions as a general resource
for program information, policies and procedures, schedule planning, etc. After
declaration of a major, a departmental faculty advisor will be assigned to work
with a student through the completion of his/her program. While faculty
advisors will work closely with students in the planning of schedules, it is the
student's responsibility to insure that all program requirements are fiilfilled.

26

Career Planning and Placement Center

Evening College students are encouraged to use the resources available in
the Career Planning and Placement Center. The Center maintains current career-
related materials and computer-assisted guidance program to allow students to
complete self-assessments on skills and interests related to careers or to personal
development. The Center also sponsors workshops on topics including inter-
viewing and resume-writing.

Computer Facilities

Microcomputer labs on campus are available for general use except when
the rooms have been reserved for class use. Evening College students may find
the laboratories on the 3"^ floor of Smith Hall most convenient for their use. The
first lab contains Pentium 133 PC's. The second consists of workstations with
access to Pascal, FORTRAN, BAIC, Oracle, COBOL, SQL, and the Internet.

LaGrange College seeks to provide students with the greatest possible
access to computer resources within the limits of institutional priorities and
financial capabilities, and consistent with generally accepted principles of ethics
that govern the College community. Access to computer and network facilities
requires each student user to be accountable and responsible for appropriate use
of computer facilities. Students are expected to maintain ethical and moral
standards for use at all times. Computing systems may not be used for non-
college-related purposes of any type. The complete Policy for the Responsible
Use of Information Technology is printed in the LaGrange College Bulletin
and is also available in the Evening College Office.

Tutoring Center

The Student Tutoring Center is located on the 5^^ floor of Henry Hall. Peer
tutors are available each evening to provide assistance in English, mathematics,
history, science, and other courses in the general education curriculum.

like individualized help with their writing. It is directed by an English Depart-
ment faculty member, and staffed by undergraduates who have proven to be
especially proficient in their writing skills. Students are encouraged to visit the
Center to conference about the writing process, to brainstorm topics with peers,
or to work with other writers on essays, research papers, and other assignments.
The Center is open for appointments, and for drop-in visits, weekdays until
9:00pm.

programs. No grade below 'C in any course about the 100 level may be applied
toward a major.

32

Degree Requirements

Evening College offers a B.A. degree in Business Administration, a B.A.
and an A. A. in Criminal Justice and an A. A. in Liberal Studies. To obtain the
Bachelor of Arts Degree, a student must complete 180 quarter hours including
the General Education curriculum and major courses; a departmental assess-
ment, and the COMP test are also required.

Candidates pursuing the A. A. in Criminal Justice must a complete a 60-hour
General Education curriculum, 40 hours within the department, the assessment,
and the COMP test. Students pursuing the Liberal Studies degree will satisfy
their requirement upon successful completion of the 90-hour General Education
curriculum and the COMP test.

Candidates for degrees must earn, at a minimum, a 2.0 quality point
average. The QPA is determined by multiplying the grade point by the course
credit, summing, and then dividing the total quality points earned by the total
GPA hours. Quality points are assessed as follows: A-4, B-3, C-2, D-1, F-0.

Candidates must also meet the residency requirements for Evening College.
Generally, B.A. students must accomplish the last 60 hours in Evening College.
With the approval of the Vice President for Academic Affairs and Dean, students
may earn 15 hours of transient credit during their final 90 hours, allowing them
to fulfill the residency requirement with 75 hours in Evening College.

Candidates for the associate degrees must accomplish the last 30 hours in
Evening College.

While each student will work with a faculty advisor to plan her/his aca-
demic program, the ultimate responsibility for insuring that all degree require-
ments are accomplished rests with the student.

33

General Education Curriculum

LaGrange College is first and foremost a liberal arts college. The

underlying philosophy of liberal learning is found throughout the curriculum,
