Philosophy Table of Contents LaGrange College is a residential, coeducational college of liberal arts and sciences. The College was founded in 1831 as LaGrange Female Academy and its first President was the Reverend Thomas Stanley. Since 1856 the College has been owned by the North Georgia Conference of the United Methodist Church. Throughout that time Georgia Methodists have worked enthusiastically to maintain a number of institutions of higher learning, recognizing education as an important part of the mission of the church. It has been the aim of supporters of these colleges to guide students in Christian discipleship as they relate to the world about them. LaGrange College, seeing itself as the church at work in higher education, commits itself to maintaining an environment in which the Christian vision of life and society may be cultivated, individual growth and self-fulfillment may be experienced, the love of learning stimulated and preparation for a meaningful vocation may be realized. With this heritage and mission as a person-oriented, liberal arts institution, LaGrange College declares its purpose in the following objectives: ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE - LaGrange College is committed to sustaining a superior academic experience and to promoting free inquiry whereby truth may be known. CHRISTIAN PERSPECTIVE - LaGrange College is committed to the values and ideals adherent in the Christian tradition. The function of theCollege isto nurture in the college community a deep appreciation of and dedication to those values. PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT - LaGrange College encourages its students to cultivate self-knowledge and self-worth, to realize individual capacities for independent thinking, to learn coping skills for societal change, to make intelligent choices and to develop convictions worthy of their highest commitments.

Philosophy 2 Academics 3 Student Activities Student Organizations 10 Campus Services 1 1 Map 15-16 Residence Hall Life 20 Student Conduct 22 ACADEMICS Advisors LaGrange College will assign you to an advisor. If you have declared a major your advisor will be from your major department. If you are a new student or undecided about your major you will be assigned to a special group of advisors called Freshman Advisors, transfer advisor or advisors for undeclared majors. Your advisor will assist you in planning your academic schedules, in selecting majors, and in making the best academic use of each quarter. In addition, a student can explore academic or career goals, take steps toward improving grades, obtain information about academic policies and procedures, share a concern about a particular class problem, find information about major and graduation requirements, and secure information about other campus support services. Your advisor is a valuable resource; use them to the fullest. General Degree Requirements Regardless of what you decide will be your major, if you follow a four-year degree program, you will have to complete the following minimum general requirements involving a minimum of 183 quarter hours of credit. Satisfactory work in a major area Completion of general requirements Electives Last 60 hours of credit must be earned at L.C. In addition to the requirements we have just listed, you must have a "C" (2.00) grade point average in both your major and all of your work. Class Attendance It is important that you learn from the very beginning just what each of your classroom teachers require in terms of class attendance. You should also know that absence from class does not relieve you of responsibility for assignments. There is a strong relationship between class attendance and success or failure in the classroom. Drop/Add - HT 13 After registration each quarter you may drop and/or add classes for a brief period of time. Drops and adds can be accomplished this way: 1. Pick up a drop/add form from your advisor or Registrar's Office. 2. Take the form to your advisor for approval. 3. Return form to Registrar's Office. 4. Pay fees, if there are any, in Business Office. Withdrawals Hopefully, you will not find it necessary to withdraw from LaGrange but if you do you must officially withdraw otherwise, you will receive failing marks in your courses. Procedure 1. Get withdrawal slip from Dean of College 2. Have form signed by various college officers indicated on it 3. Return form to Dean of College after all signatures have been obtained. The Grading Maze All college classes issue one of the following types of grades to evaluate course work: A. Superior B. Above Average C. Average D. Below Average F. Failing I. Incomplete - This grade is assigned in case a student is doing satisfactory work but for some reason beyond his control has been unable to complete the work during that quarter. This deferment must be given within approval in advance by the instructor and the Academic Dean. N. No credit or non-credit. W. Withdrawn passing. Normally a grade of W will not be assigned after midquarter. U. Withdrawn failing. The grade of U is indicated in computation of grade point average. O. Penalty failing. This grade is given for a breach of honor and is computed in grade point average. T. Audit withdrawn Each course you take will be worth so many credits. The number of credits a course is worth, often, but not always, equals the number of times the class meets each week. The catalog can tell you how many credits a course is worth. I n order to graduate from LC, you will have to maintain a 2.0 (C) average. The following example will show you how to calculate your average: Class Credits Grade Points English 5 A (4 points) 20 (5 x 4) History 5 D (1 point) 5(5x1) Math 5 C (2 points) 10(5x2) Physical Ed. 1 B (3 points) 3(1x3) 16 38 points In order to calculate the grade point average (GPA) on the above example, just divide the points(38) by the number credit hours attempted (16). In this example the GPA is 2.06, just barely more than the 2.0 average required for graduation. The information contained in this section is designed to help steer youthrough the sometimes confusing, sometimes awesome halls of academe. First, remember the college catalogue is the official documents regarding academic policies; hence; you are urged to read it. However, when in doubt, you can consult your academic mentor, your department chairperson, the dean, or the Student Development Office. 4 How to make||udying easier.. ...set up your schedule One of the greatest aids to any student is a study schedule. Start with a monthly calendar with spaces for you to fill in exam dates and dates when papers and projects are due. Marking exam times will keep you aware of what your studying is leading to. Next fill in all the times that you plan to take trips, go to concerts, shows, meetings, and so no. Now you are ready to make up a weekly schedule of your classes and the hours you plan to study. A weekly schedule gives you a clear picture of what you are doing with your time and helps you to spot an extra hour to two during the day that you can use for studying so that you can plan more free time to do what you want. The steps for effective scheduling: 1. Establish a well-defined and reasonble schedule, one that you can live with. 2. Budget time to prepare for each class and all exams. 3. Study course notes as soon as possible after each class period, rather than waiting until a week before the exam. 4. Give difficult subjects perferred times with the fewest possible interruptions and disturbances. 5. Budget time for leisure activities and follow through with them. 6. Stick to your schedule and reward yourself for having achieved your study goals in the allotted time.
