THE 2003 INTERIM: JANUARY 2 - 29, 2003

The Interim is that class term held during the month of January for approximately four weeks.
Courses offered in the Interim are designed to encourage students to explore course content out-
side 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
requirement based on the academic standing of the student at entry.

Please note the course descriptions. These descriptions indicate eligibility for the class, approxi-
mate cost, grading format available, and classroom location. All classes will assemble for the
first class meeting at 2:00 PM on Thursday, January 2, 2003. 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 and most classes will
meet approximately 3 hours per day (Monday-Friday) for classroom work.

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.

Pre-registration for projects involving travel abroad or in the United States is October 2-4, 2002.
Pre-registration for all other Interim projects (Internships, Servant Leadership Projects, or On-
Campus Projects is October 7-8, 2002. Your advisor will have registration forms for you. Please
make an appointment to see him/her during this time period. Students who already have regis-
tered for travel abroad courses do not need to do anything further at this time.

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 circum-
stances. 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 participation, 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.
