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.), 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,

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

Evening College supports the mission of LaGrange College through the
provision of associate and baccalaureate programs that meet the academic
needs of adult learners in Troup and surrounding counties. Evening College
offers an outstanding academic program in a supportive, encouraging
environment. The liberal arts and science based program is designed to nurture
a love of life-long learning and to prepare students 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. 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 fiill-time
or part-time study, without sacrificing their professional and personal
responsibilities. Evening College offers the Bachelor of Arts degree in
Business Administration, the Bachelor of Arts degree in Human Development,
and the Associate of Arts degree in Liberal Studies.

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 and sciences 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, Human Development, and
Liberal Studies, and to review the application process.

Prospective students should:

1 . Request an Evening College Application from the Admission Office, or
download the application from our web site at www.lagrange.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
LaGrange College 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 thoughtfiilly 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.

10

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

11

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 from his/her employer may contact the Admission
Office to request a waiver of the deposit.

The Evening College and the 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.

Payment of Charges

The following fees are in effect for the 2003-2004 academic year.

Tuition $203 per quarter hour

Testing Fee $60

Parking Permit Fee $15

Late Registration Fee $20

Personal checks/credit cards failing to clear $ 1 5

There are no additional general or course fees.

12

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 24 (Disbursement of Excess Financial Aid) for the refund policies for
students receiving financial aid.

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.

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).

The Financial Aid Office establishes a Cost of Attendance Budget that
discloses the annual costs for a student to attend LaGrange College. The Cost
of Attendance Budget includes tuition, fees, room, board, books, supplies, 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 2003-2004 academic year is $18,676.

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.

14

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 of the United States.

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

Be making satisfactory academic progress towards the completion of 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.

Financial Aid Application Procedures

Students meeting the eligibility requirements above may apply for financial aid
by following the procedures outlined below.

Applicants for financial aid must:

Complete and submit a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)
or a Renewal FAFSA annually.

Complete a Georgia Tuition Equalization Grant Application, if applicable.

Submit all required documents for verification, if selected.

Verification

Verification is the process of evaluating the accuracy of financial information
provided on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The U.S.
Department of Education randomly selects approximately 30% of all financial
aid applications for verification. The Financial Aid Office may select
additional applications for verification if conflicting or incomplete information
exists. A financial aid award cannot be provided until the verification process
is completed.

Students selected for verification will be asked to verify, at a minimum, the
following: adjusted gross income, federal income tax paid, earned income
credit, family size, number of family members in college, and untaxed income.
Most students will be asked to complete a verification worksheet and provide

15

copies of applicable federal tax returns. If discrepancies are found during
verification, the Financial Aid Office will transmit the corrected information to
the Central Processing System. The revised Expected Family Contribution is
usually received within three to five days. Once the corrected financial aid
information is received and provided all other eligibility requirements are met,
an official financial aid award letter will be mailed.

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 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.

Mini mum
Classification Cumulative Grade Point

Average

1.65
1.75
1.85

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 tenn. 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.

The chart that follows indicates the minimum credits a student must earn to
meet 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 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 fi-ame. 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

18

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 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.

A student's enrollment status will be based on the credit hours for which the
student is registered and attending at the conclusion of late registration. All
financial aid awards will be calculated using final registradon information.
The chart below indicates the enrollment status for financial aid programs.

State grant programs (HOPE Scholarship, Governor's Honor and Georgia
Tuition EquaHzation Grant) require full-time enrollment.
Students enrolling less than full-time are eligible for a Federal Stafford,
Federal Perkins loan, Federal Pell Grant, and Federal Supplemental
Educational Opportunity Grant. However, Pell Grant awards are prorated
based on the recipient's 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.

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 financial 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 loan 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

20

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.

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 Student Independent

Freshmen $2,625 $ 6,625*

Sophomores $3,500 $ 7,500*

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

*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 an
undergraduate independent student 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 below 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 full-time.
The annual amount is contingent upon funding by the Georgia Legislature.

HOPE Scholarship Program has provided scholarship assistance for
Georgia residents since 1993. 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. HOPE
Scholars attending a private college or university must be full-time to
qualify. HOPE scholars must maintain a 3.0 grade point average for
continued eligibility. HOPE Scholars will be evaluated at increments of 45,
90, and 135 quarter hours.

Students who did not graduate from high school as a HOPE Scholar may
become eligible for the HOPE Scholarship after completing 45, 90, or 135
quarter hours. This is provided the student's cumulative grade point average
is a 3.0 or better; the student was a Georgia resident at the time of enrollment
at a Georgia college or university and at the time the student becomes
eligible for the HOPE Scholarship. The calculation of grade point averages
for HOPE purposes must include all courses attempted since graduating
from high school. 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.

23

Disbursement of Financial Aid

All financial aid funds are credited directly to the student's account by the
Business Office at the beginning of each quarter. 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. Therefore, students who fail to enroll or
attend classes are not eligible for their financial aid award. 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

Eligibility for these programs 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

Recipients of these grants must maintain full-time enrollment and regular class
attendance for 14 days beyond the conclusion of late registration to establish
eligibility for these grants. Students who withdraw or are administratively
withdrawn from a course resulting in an enrollment status of less than full-time
before the end of the eligibility period will forfeit funds for that quarter.

Recipients of Federal Perkins and Federal Stafford must be enrolled at least
half-time on the day of disbursement to qualify for their loan proceeds.
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. Most Federal Stafford loans are disbursed via
electronic funds transfer (EFT) and credited directly to the student's account.
Federal Stafford Loan borrowers whose lender issues paper checks will be
notified by the Business Office of the availability of the check for
endorsement. Federal Perkins Loan borrowers must sign their promissory note
for each disbursement of their loan before the funds will be credited to their
student account.

Effective October 1, 2002, first-time, first-year, Stafford Loan borrowers
are subject to a 30-day delayed disbursement requirement, which means
that these students must maintain a minimum of half-time enrollment for
30 days from the first day of classes before their loan proceeds may be

24

disbursed. Borrowers who officially withdraw from all courses or drop
below half-time enrollment before the expiration of the 30 days will forfeit
loan eligibility. Also, loan proceeds for Stafford Loan borrowers who
enroll for only a single quarter must be delivered in two installments. The
first disbursement will be made at the beginning of the quarter and the
second disbursement will be made at the midpoint of the quarter.
Students subject to either of these requirements can obtain a payment
w avier in the amount of their loan disbursement(s) from the Business
Office. No interest will be assessed.

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 fiands 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 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.

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 or fraudulently obtain
federal funds their financial aid eligibility.

Academic Support Services

William & Evelyn Banks Library

The librarians and staff take great pride in the high level of service that is
offered at the Banks Library. Each year the library staff receives high marks
from faculty and students on the annual library survey. Library instruction is
highly emphasized with both individual and group instruction offered.

The Banks Library provides up-to-date resources that support the curriculum
and general information needs of students and faculty. The Online Catalog can
be accessed from anywhere in the world on the WEB. Additionally, the library
makes available to students and faculty full-text databases on GALILEO plus
discipline specific databases to which it subscribes including JSTOR, GALE 'S
Business and Company Resource Center, ATLAS Religion Database, CINAHL,
AMLCO, and more.

Separate Education and Music & Art areas in the library provide easy access to
library materials for those disciplines in a comfortable, user-friendly
environment. A Multi-Media Center provides access to the Internet, word
processing, presentation software, E-MAIL, and the library's electronic
resources. During hours that the library is open a scanner, computer projector,
digital camera, and multi-media workstations are available for student use.
Group study rooms, study carrels, video viewing-rooms, and a large
conference room are also available.

The Banks Library seeks to fulfill the mission of the college through the
provision of information resources and services supporting the curriculum, co-
curricular, and research needs of students and faculty.

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,
Human Development 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.

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

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 site 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 should note the following,
taken from the Policy for the Responsible Use of Information Technology.
The complete Policy is printed in the LaGrange College Bulletin and is also
available in the Evening College office.

LaGrange College computing resources and associated user accounts are
to be used only for the College activities for which they are assigned or
intended. The computing systems are not to be used for any non-college
related commercial purposes, public or private, either for profit or non-
profit.

Many technology resources at LaGrange College are accessed through
user accounts. All users are responsible for both the protection of their
account passwords and the data stored in their user accounts. Sharing a
password is prohibited. User accounts will be deactivated when the
user's affiliation with the College is terminated and all files and other
data will be removed form those accounts.

27

The College provides email accounts for students, faculty and staff. All
course information and other official College communication will only be
sent to campus email addresses.

Microcomputer labs on the LaGrange College campus are available for
general use except during the periods the rooms have been reserved for
teaching purposes. It is the responsibility of every user to use lab and
public access facilities in a responsible manner. Use of laboratory or
public access facilities to view material that may be considered offensive
to others, which includes but is not limited to racially hateful and sexually
explicit material, is considered a form of harassment. The viewing of
harassing material is inconsistent with mission of LaGrange College.
Viewing such harassing material in a lab or public access areas can resuh
in disciplinary action.

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.

28

Student Life

Evening College is dedicated to providing a positive environment that attends
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
for all within our community. The college regulations are formulated to meet
changing student needs within the framework of college policy. These
regulations are effective when the student enrolls. The specific policies with
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 in order 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 faciHties 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

D - below 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 of class.
After the deadline for automatic withdrawal passes, the instructor will
assign a ' W or a 'WF' depending upon the student's status.

WF - withdrawn, failing

AW - audit, withdrawn

AU - audit, complete

NR - grade not reported by the instructor

31

Declaration of Major

A student may declare his/her academic major after successftilly 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, composed often students, 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. In endorsing the Honor Code, the faculty agreed to report any
suspected violation of the Honor Code to the Honor Council, either through the
Vice President for Academic Affairs and Dean or the Chair of the Honor
Council. Members of the faculty are therefore expected to report 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 in any academic matter.

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. Failure to report a violation of the Honor Code.

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

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

32

Sanctions include:

assigning a grade of zero to the related academic work (assignments, tests,
case study, etc.);

lowering the final grade in the course by one letter or

a grade of "F" in the course;

suspension for one academic term; or

dismissal from the College.

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. The instructor should provide specific written
and/or verbal guidelines regarding the use of these materials.

As early as possible in the term, the instructor should make clear to his or her
classes how the specifications of the Honor Code apply to class requirements.
For example, what constitutes a legitimate use of source material, especially
material on the Internet, should be made clear. With all their devotion to
declared ideals, students are still subject to the pressures of academic
competition. They deserve the protection and encouragement of the faculty.

33

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 135 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.

180 hours are required for completion of the degrees in Business
Administration and Human Development. 90 credit hours are required for
the completion of the Associate of Arts degree in Liberal Studies degree.

Transcripts

Students are provided transcripts of their academic record free of charge.
Requests should be made in writing to the Registrar's Office well in advance
of the date needed. No transcript will be issued to a student under financial
obligation to the College.

34

Degree Requirements

Evening College offers the Bachelor of Arts degree in Business
Administration, the Bachelor of Arts degree in Human Development, and the
Associates of Arts degree in Liberal Studies. To obtain the Business
Administration degree or Human Development, a student must complete 180
quarter hours including the General Education curriculum and major courses; a
departmental assessment and the Academic Profiles test are also required.
Students pursuing the Liberal Studies degree will satisfy their requirement
upon successful completion of the 90-hour General Education curriculum and
the Academic Profiles 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. candidates 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.
