THE 2002 INTERIM: JANUARY 2 - 30, 2002

The Interim is that class term held during the month of January for approximately four weeks.
Courses offered in the Interim emphasize nontraditional content and methods and provide
opportunities for learning away from the campus as well as on the campus itself. These classes
are designed to encourage students to explore course content outside of their majors. All
students who enter as freshmen any time after the summer or fall of 2000 must successfully
complete three of the four Interim terms offered during a typical four-year course of study. For
students who transfer to LaGrange College after this time, reductions are made in this require-
ment based on the academic standing of the student at entry.

Most Interim courses are available to all students regardless of major. However, some courses do
require prerequisites or particular class standing. These special eligibility requirements for
particular classes are noted on the course description. Most instructors of Interim courses grade
on a Pass/No Credit basis, while others grade all students on the traditional A-F scale, and still
others gives students the option of how they wish to be graded. The grading option available for
each class is noted on the course description. For each course passed, the student earns three
semester hours of credit toward graduation.

All Interim classes assemble for the first class meeting on Wednesday, January 2 at 2:00 p.m.
Classroom location for this meeting is noted in the course description in this Bulletin. Meeting
times and location for subsequent class sessions will be announced at this mandatory first class
session. All Interim classes require a minimum of 30 hours per week of student involvement.

To be eligible for any Interim course, all academic, procedural, financial, and other prerequisites
must be met. The costs listed in the course description are the anticipated per-participant
charges for that particular class. Students are responsible for purchasing their own textbooks;
most are available in the College Bookstore.

Enrollment/Registration Dates

October 1& 2, 2001: All freshmen and sophomores register as well as those upperclass students
wishing to enroll in Travel Projects and Servant Leadership Projects.

October 22 - 30, 2001: All other students may register at the same time they pre-register for
Spring 2002.

During the Interim Term, LaGrange College offers several opportunities for off-campus study which
require travel, some of which include travel to other states or travel beyond the United States. Such travel
inevitably involves risk - accident, injury, illness, civil unrest, and other unforeseen circumstances. These
risks are ones which neither those who sponsor travel nor those who travel can control. Participation in
such an off-campus study program is purely voluntary on the student's part. As a condition for participa-
tion, LaGrange College requires that student travelers and their parents read and execute liability
releases and other documents which acknowledge, accept, and assume all risks. LaGrange College expects
that students and their parents will use their own due diligence in informing themselves of current global
conditions and in determining whether they wish the students to engage in travel to given sites.
