About LaGrange College

Mission Statement

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

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,
uninhibited 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 fundamental 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
interdisciplinary, technologically sophisticated liberal arts program (A. A.,
B.A., B.S., B.M.), professional programs in business (B.A., B.S., M.B.A),
nursing (B.S.N.), education (B.A., M.Ed, and M.A.T.), 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 Business Administration, 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
Universities and the Georgia Foundation for Independent Colleges.

The Georgia Professional Standards Commission, which confers professional
certificates upon college graduates meeting requirements in early childhood,
middle grades, or secondary education, has awarded highest approval to
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 adult learners whose career interests are in business
administration 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 undergraduate 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 and the 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. Accepted students may begin classes during any quarter.

Admission

Freshman Admission

LaGrange College seeks to admit students who demonstrate the ability to
benefit from a quality liberal arts education. Applicants to Evening College are
normally independent adults 24 years or older, who reside off-campus; they
may be married or have dependents. Prospective students are encouraged to
call the Evening College Office at 880-8298 to discuss the programs available
in Business Administration and Liberal Studies, and to review the application
process.

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 requires completion of both
biographical and academic information, as well as a thoughtful
written response to a Focus Question. 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. Official transcripts and test scores must be 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 considered to be official documents, and
are therefore 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 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 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 Admission
Committee reviews completed applications on a rolling basis; applicants
should allow a minimum of two weeks for completed applications to be
processed. The Admission Office will contact the applicant in writing,
expressing 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. The Admission Committee may also choose to extend probation
admission to applicants. Students accepted on probation will be limited to 10
quarter hours their first term, and must earn at least a 2.0 in both courses in
order to continue as a student in Evening College.

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 admission 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 two-year institution, credit may be earned for a maximum
of 90 quarter hours of coursework. If transferring from a four-year college,
normally 120 quarter hours of coursework may transfer. When transfer
applicants are accepted, the Registrar will review and evaluate all coursework
taken at institutions outside of LaGrange College. The report indicating
courses and credit hours for which transfer credit will be accepted by
LaGrange College, will be mailed to the student prior to registration for the
upcoming term.

Questions concerning the awarding of transfer credit should be directed to 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
Application 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, and who have been absent for
less than four calendar years, 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. A student who expects to receive a tuition
reimbursement scholarship ft-om his/her employer may contact the Admission
Office to request a waiver of the deposit.

The Evening College and Registrar's offices will correspond with each student
approximately one month before each term begins to provide details
concerning course registration, placement testing, book purchases, and other
subjects of importance to new students. Testing and registration activities are
conducted during evening hours as a convenience for students. Students should
be advised that English and mathematics placement tests must be completed
before initial course registration can be finalized.

All new students are encouraged to participate in the Evening College
Orientation, held the week prior to the start of classes. In addition to providing
a campus tour, the orientation gives new students the opportunity to meet
current students, introduces the advising and academic support system, covers
logistics of course registration, and reviews the mission and overarching
objectives of the Evening program.

Financial Aid

Philosophy

LaGrange College believes that students and their families should contribute to
the educational 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

The following fees are in effect for the 2002-2003 academic year.
Tuition $ 1 85 per quarter hour

Testing Fee $60

Parking Permit Fee $15

Late Registration Fee $20

Personal checks/credit cards failing to clear $15

There are no additional general or course fees.

All educational 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. Students 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 receive employer
tuition reimbursement 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

refund requests will be processed within 10 days of notification from the

Registrar's Office of withdrawal.

A student considering a complete withdrawal from all courses for the term

should contact the Director of Evening College to begin the 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 (Disbursement of Excess Financial Aid) for the refund policies for

students receiving financial aid.

12

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 the student's family 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
documentation from the student. The Cost of Attendance Budget for independent
Evening College students for the 2002-2003 academic year is $16,810.

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.

Financial Aid Eligibility Requirements

In general, to be eligible for financial assistance, financial aid
applicants must:

Be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident alien

Be accepted for admission or currently enrolled in an approved
degree-seeking program.

a degree program.

Not be in default on any federal educational loan, or have made
satisfactory arrangements to repay the loan.

Not owe a refund on a federal or state grant.

Not have borrowed in excess of federal loan limits.

Be registered with Selective Service, if required.

Students meeting the eligibility requirements above may apply for financial aid
by: (1) submitting a completed FAFSA, (2) submitting a completed LaGrange
College Financial Aid Applicafion, and (3) completing a Georgia Tuition
Equalization Grant Application.

14

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 manner consistent with fulfilling
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 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 cumulative
grade point average at the end of the second year or, that which is consistent
with the institufion'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..

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
considered failing and do not count as successfully completed courses. Audited
courses are not considered in either the quantitative or qualitative standards.

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 270 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 270
credit hours. Hours transferred to and accepted by LaGrange College from
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 195 additional credit hours.

Students pursuing an additional bachelor's degree or a master's degree are
eligible for an additional 90 quarter 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
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

16

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 probationary 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.

Students completing a FAFSA and receiving financial aid assistance must
report any scholarships, grants, or loans received from outside sources. This
includes employer reimbursement and veteran or vocational rehabilitation
educational assistance. These resources must be considered in awarding state
and federal financial aid programs. 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. Full-time enrollment

17

status is defined as 12 or more quarter hours; three-quarter enrollment status
represents 9-1 1 quarter hours; half-time 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
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.
A 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 adds the interest to principal amount of the loan. This option
will increase the loan payments.

18

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 $ 6,625.00*

Sophomores $3,500,00 $ 7,500.00*

Juniors and Seniors $5,500.00 $10,500.00*

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 next page provides typical repayment
information of student loans and assumes unsubsidized borrowers paying
interest while enrolled and during grace period.

Georgia Student Assistance Programs

The State of Georgia provides several financial aid programs to assist residents
of Georgia. Recipients of these programs must meet financial aid eligibility
and Georgia residency requirements. For most state grants, a Georgia 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
registration or other definitive evidence. Residency is established twelve
months from the date the documentation was issued. If the Evening College
student is a dependent 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 from the state
to Georgia residents attending a private college or university ftill-time. The
annual amount is contingent upon funding by the Georgia Legislature. The
amount of the grant beginning Fall 2002 is $1,100.

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.

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.

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
financial 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
disbursement, 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
registration. Students who drop below full-time before the end of the
eligibility period will forfeit funds for the 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 disbursements
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

21

account. Perkins borrowers must sign their promissory note for each
disbursement of their loan.

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 authorized
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
fi'om 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.

Suspected Fraud

Institutions are required to report cases of suspected fraud to the Office of the
Inspector General of the Department of Education, or, if more appropriate, to
the state or local law enforcement agency having jurisdiction to investigate
these allegations. Fraud may exist if the institution believes the applicant
misreported or altered information in order to increase their financial aid
eligibility or fi-audulently obtain federal funds.

Academic Support Services

William & Evelyn Banks Library

The Banks Library provides up-to-date resources that support the curriculum
and general information needs of students and faculty. Those resources include
over 107,000 cataloged volumes, 121,000 microfilm units, over 70 GALILEO
databases and indexes, over 100 scholarly journals in electronic format through
JSTOR, subscriptions to 500 journal titles, and a video and CD collection.
Many library resources can be accessed through the campus-wide fiber optics
network and through the Internet.

The library's Multi-Media Center provides access to the Internet, word
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 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 the
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 fulfilled.

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 programs to allow students to
complete self-assessments on skills and interests related to careers or to
personal development. The Center also sponsors skill-building workshops on
such topics as interviewing and resume-writing. The Director of Career
Planning is available to meet during evening hours with interested students by
appointment.

Computer Facilities

In 1991, LaGrange College became committed to creating a fiber optic
network of many computers that would allow students and faculty to access the
network anywhere on campus. The college currently has 12 computer
laboratories allowing students to access the World Wide Web from virtually
any sight on campus. 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 laboratory on the 3'^'^ floor of Smith Hall (room 322) most
convenient for their use. The lab 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. Student
tutors are available Monday through Thursday and Sunday evenings from 6:00
p.m. until 9:00 p.m. There is a mathematics lab, and assistance for subjects
including science, history, and literature.

Writing Center

The Writing Center is designed to provide a service to students who would like
individualized help with their writing. It is directed by an English Department
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 9:00 p.m.

to a student's intellectual, emotional, spiritual and social development.
LaGrange College sponsors a variety of scheduled events and activities for
your enjoyment, as well as programs designed to support your development as
a student. We welcome and encourage your full participation.

In addition to providing a positive climate for growth and development,
LaGrange College is committed to fostering an honorable standard of conduct

regard to student conduct are reviewed with all new students during
orientation. In addition, the statement of conduct is published in the LaGrange
College Bulletin and the Student Handbook and Panther Planner.

Development and Well Being

All new students are invited to the Evening College Orientation. This half-day
event introduces students to campus policies, procedures, and resources and to
the staff who are available to support and advise throughout the course of the
program. Small group sessions allow new and returning students to meet and
share, to encourage discussion of the transition to college life.

The Office of the Chaplain coordinates chapel services held each Sunday
evening at 10 p.m. when college is in session. These spirited worship services
provide opportunity for celebration, for reflection, and for fellowship with
other students. Rev. Quincy Brown is also available for individual counseling
in his office in Smith Hall.

The Counseling Office located on the first floor of Smith Hall offers
counseling in a variety of areas. Students needing a confidential resource for
short-term counseling should contact Director Pamela Scotto. Areas in which
counseling is offered include stress reduction, conflict resolution, substance
abuse, and interpersonal relations.

The facilities of the Aquatics Complex are available for recreational and lap
swimming year-round. In addition, the facilities and equipment of the Physical
Education Department are available for recreational use when not otherwise
scheduled for instructional, athletic, or intramural use. Hours for the fitness
center, gymnasium, and pool, will be posted each term. A valid LaGrange
College ID is required for admittance to all facilities.

Academic Policies

Class Attendance

Students are expected to attend all class sessions including labs, for all courses.
If a student must be absent, all matters related to student absence, including
makeup work, must be arranged with the professor. Each course syllabus
makes a clear statement about policies related to absences. Please note that
excessive absences may result in an administrative withdrawal with a grade of
"W " or " WF".

Students are expected to be present for all quizzes or final examinations, unless
the reasons for absences are acceptable to the professor.

Grades and Credits

The definitions of grades given at LaGrange College are as follows:

A - superior

B - above average

C - average

F - failing

I - incomplete. This is a temporary grade, assigned by the instructor if
a student is doing satisfactory' work and, for reasons beyond the
student's control, cannot complete the work for the quarter.

NC - no credit

W - withdrawn. An automatic ' W is given if the student withdraws
after the end of drop and add but before the completion of three weeks

27

Declaration of Major

A student may declare his/her academic major after successfully completing
22 quarter hours. Students must declare a major by the time they have
completed 75 quarter hours of course work. The declaration of major is
initiated in the Evening College office, and must be signed by the student's
academic advisor and by the appropriate department chair. The major
requirements are based on the Bulletin in effect when the major is declared,
not on the Bulletin of entry.

Honor Code

Students at LaGrange College sign the Honor Code, which states,

As a member of the student body of LaGrange College, I
confirm my commitment to the ideals of civility, diversity,
service, and excellence. Recognizing the significance of
personal integrity in establishing these ideals within our
community, I pledge that I will not lie, cheat, steal, nor
tolerate these unethical behaviors in others.

The Honor Council deals with students accused of violating the Honor Code.
The Honor Council is selected each spring by the outgoing Chair of the
Honor Council, The Dean of Students, and the Vice President for Academic
Affairs and Dean. A member of the faculty serves as advisor. Members of
the faculty are strongly urged to support the efforts of the Honor Council by
reporting all suspected violations of the Honor Code. The Honor Code
assumes that any student witnessing or otherwise having knowledge of an
Honor Code violation will report the violation to the course instructor, the
Chair of the Honor Council, or the Vice President for Academic Affairs and
Dean. (For a complete description of the Honor Code, please see the Student
Handbook.)

The following are violations of the Honor Code:

1. Lying.

2. Cheating by either giving aid to or receiving aid from a student or
other source without the consent of the faculty member or
plagiarizing (using another person's words or ideas without
documenting them properly).

3. Stealing (intentionally taking or appropriating without the right or
permission any individual, organizational, or institutional property.
This includes, but is not limited to, stealing off campus, stealing fi-om
any person or business representatives on this campus, stealing fi*om

28

a computer company or any other computer-related theft, from the
telephone system, vending machines, a residence hall visitor, or any
other business while it is on this campus, and removal of any material
or equipment from the Library or other facilities without permission.)

4. Failure to report a violation of the Honor Code.

5. Failure to appear before the Honor Council as requested by
written notice.

6. Failure to maintain confidentiality regarding an Honor Council case.

Sanctions include: a grade of F in the course; suspension for one academic
term; dismissal from the College; or lowering the final grade in the course by
one letter or assigning a grade of zero to the related academic work
(assignments, tests, case study, etc.). An investigation and hearing shall be
confidential and those within the bounds of confidentiality shall not divulge
anything that is said or done with regard to these proceedings to anyone
outside the bounds of confidentiality. Should anyone outside the bounds of
confidentiality receive information which is considered to be confidential, he
or she will automatically be bound by confidentiality. Those within the bounds
of confidentiality include Council members, the faculty advisor to the Council,
the Vice President for Academic Affairs and Dean, the President, accusers, the
accused, witnesses, persons interviewed during the investigation, victims, and
the College's attorney. In addition, the accused may include within the bounds
of confidentiality his or her parents, faculty, staff, minister, personal or legal
counsel.

All tests at the College are conducted under the Honor Code. Accordingly,
instructors may leave the room during the examination and students are on
their honor to do their own work. The Honor Code should be abbreviated on
the outside of the test and signed by the student before handing in the
examination. The student should leave all books and materials not pertaining to
the test either in the hall outside the classroom, or next to the wall in front of
the classroom. Students should take the test in the designated classroom,
except under extenuating circumstances or by prior arrangement.

Work prepared out of class should be that of the individual. Any assistance
from fellow students, books, periodicals, or other materials should be carefully
acknowledged. Instructors should give specific guidance regarding what
constitutes a violation of the Honor Code. If any doubts about plagiarism arise,
a question should be raised by the instructor.

A student should never copy a section of an old term paper and submit it as his
or her own, and the student should be guided in the use of these materials by
the wishes of the instructor.

29

Every person found to have violated the Honor Code has the right of
subsequent appeal. Such appeal is made to the Academic Dean of the College.
The Appeals Board shall be the President of the Student Government
Association, the Appeals Representative of the Honor Council, a student
member selected for each Appeals hearing selected by the Academic Dean and
the President of the Honor Council, the President or Past President of the
Faculty Assembly, and the Academic Dean. The appeal is heard from the
record of the Honor Council hearing, the attending written statement of the
student requesting the appeal, and the written statement of the Honor Council
President. The Appeals Board has the discretion to overturn the Council's
decision and/or change a sanction imposed by the Council, but it is confined to
the approved sanctions in the Honor Code.

Student Appeals

There are processes by which students may petition regarding academic issues,
including Academic Forgiveness, Grade Appeals, and Appeal of Academic
Policy. The procedures are detailed in the LaGrange College Bulletin and
summary information is also maintained in the Evening College Office.

Student Status

Student status is determined based on successful completion of credit hours,
per the following.

Freshman 1 - 45 hours

Sophomore 46-89 hours

Junior 90-134 hours

Senior 1 35 or more hours

Students may declare their academic major after completion of 22 quarter
hours. Please note that no grade below 'C in any course about the 100 level
may be applied toward a major.

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 degree must accomplish the last 30 hours in
Evening College.

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