Sincerely, , >^ kS OLDEST ,NOEPENDENT Philosophy of Education 5 Philosophy of Education at LaGrange College The dynamic of modern life is change. Survival for the individual psychological, social, and economic demands adaptability to life patterns which are altering so rapidly as to be obsolete by the time they become familiar. The institutions of higher learning which hope to contribute to the preparing of human beings to meet successfully the challenges and the ordeals of a change-oriented society must necessarily be directed toward flexibility and bold experiment. LaGrange College, a church-related Liberal Arts college, reaffirms its commitment to the concept of education based on a proven heritage of knowledge and wisdom of the past and based on the values of an active Christianity. It recognizes also the necessity for revitalizing these bases to meet present-day needs, on the local, state, and na- tional level. The college must be the diagnostic center of society; it must examine, criticize, draw tentative, not dogmatic, conclusions. It must be the creative center of society as well, finding new directions, both human and technological. It must prepare the student to earn his living in a highly technological society; more important, it must equip him with the tools of learning for adjustment to new situations which cannot even with exactness be predicted, rather than merely endow- ing him with a set of fixed and final notions. In the increasingly tech- nological and dehumanized society, it must preserve the concept of the significance of the individual human being. LaGrange College believes that as a Christian Liberal Arts college, it can most successfully achieve these aims through an application of the principles of its commitment in a program designed to experi- ment boldly with new techniques of student involvement in the learning process, new methods of evaluation of individual students' achievements prior to the college level, new approaches to curricula, and new programs which go beyond the conventional areas hallowed by the sanction of time as the rigid limit of the liberal arts college. Our aim is to prepare the student in the most effective program possible for assuring that he is "at home" in any environment, how- ever alien, with a security based on a sense of constancy in the midst of change. &."> V p* ~ p s ' >. s^r ^^ General Information 7 General Information HISTORICAL SKETCH During his visit to the United States in 1824-25, Major General Gilbert Motier de LaFayette came to Georgia. The last living member of General George Washington's staff, he was greeted in Savannah by Governor George M. Troup. So great was the impression of the visitor upon the nation that some fifty towns and counties were named for him. In 1828, at the suggestion of Julius C. Alford, the town of LaGrange, Georgia, was chartered in his honor. The county was named for Governor Troup. Founded in 1831, LaGrange Female Academy became in 1847, the LaGrange Female Institute with authority to grant degrees. In 1851, the name was changed to LaGrange Female College. In 1856, it be- came the property of the North Georgia Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. The name was changed to LaGrange College in 1934, becoming officially coeducational in 1953. It is an in- stitution of The United Methodist Church. LOCATION The town of LaGrange has a population of 25,000 in the heart of a progressive textile area. Nearby are Callaway Gardens, the Warm Springs Foundation and Franklin D. Roosevelt's Little White House. The West Point Dam on the Chattahoochee River provides one of the largest lakes in the region, with waterfronts within the city limits of LaGrange. ACADEMIC STANDING As a coeducational, four-year, liberal arts college, LaGrange College is fully accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, approved by the Methodist University Senate, and has mem- bership in the Association of American Colleges, the American Council on Education, the National Association of Methodist Colleges, the Georgia Association of Colleges, The American Alumni Council, the Georgia Foundation for Independent Colleges, and the Association of Private Colleges and Universities in Georgia. The Georgia State Board of Education, which confers professional certificates upon col- lege graduates meeting requirements in elementary or secondary education, has awarded five-year (highest) approval to LaGrange College's program of teacher education. A training program for nurses on the Associate Degree level was initiated in 1973 with the approval of the Georgia Board of Examiners. A Master of Education degree was initiated in 1973 with the approval of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. Drama Theatre To be completed early 1975. "Sunny Gables" new home of Nursing Division Student Affairs 9 Student Affairs LaGrange College students are provided with excellent opportunity for participation in a variety of student organizations. They may serve the college community and find full, happy, and rewarding ex- periences as well. Campus activities outside the classroom are edu- cational and help to develop qualities of a mature person: initiative, self-reliance, sense of responsibility, versatility, capacity for in- dependent thought and action, and ability to work constructively with others. ATHLETICS The College is a member of the Georgia Intercollegiate Athletic Conference and of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics. The G.I.A.C. sponsors intercollegiate competition in basketball, baseball, tennis, golf, cross-country, track, volleyball, and bowling. The College also has a program of intramural sports in which all students are encouraged to participate. RELIGIOUS LIFE Students find opportunities for religious worship and service in a manner afforded by few college communities. The Baptist, Catholic, Church of Christ, Episcopal, Methodist, and Presbyterian denominations have churches within a ten-minute walk of the College. Within a radius of one mile are more than twenty-five churches of many denominations. Students direct choirs, teach in church schools, sing in choirs, and play the piano and organ in many of the churches. Others worship regularly in the church of their choice and, in many instances, become affiliate members of the churches during their college years, although church attendance is not compulsory. Local churches cooperate with campus leadership to promote de- nominational interest. Many LaGrange College students serve churches during the summer by assisting in vacation church schools and young people's organizations. Sunday worship service is held in the College Chapel especially for LaGrange College students. Important events in the life of the campus are the Arthur H. Thomp- son lectures and Religious Emphasis Series. The Arthur H. Thompson Lecture Series brings to the campus scholars from many different fields of knowledge. Religious Emphasis Series is conducted by a minister. 10 LaGrange College ENDOWED LECTURESHIPS THE ARTHUR H. THOMPSON LECTURESHIP brings to the campus each year noted scholars to address the faculty and student body on the interrelationship of a field of knowledge and the Christian religion. The endowment was established by Mrs. Mary Will Thompson, alumna, in memory of her husband, who was at one time chairman of the Board of Trustees of the College. He expressed his philosophy in the statement: "The greatest thing in life is the simple faith of an honest man." THE JENNIE LEE EPPS LECTURESHIP brings to the campus each year noted scholars to address the faculty and student body in the field of English. The endowment was established by Miss Kate Howard Cross, former professor of Latin at LaGrange College, in loving memory of her friend and colleague, Dr. Jennie Lee Epps, who was professor of English at LaGrange College for 28 years. THE A. S. MITCHELL LECTURESHIP, established by the Mitchell Foundation, Inc., brings lecturers to the campus for assembly pro- grams. THE ERNESTINE MAY DEMPSEY LECTURESHIP was provided by alumna LaVerne Garrett in memory of her former English pro- fessor who taught at LaGrange College, 1908-1914. THE ERNEST AUBREY BAILEY LECTURESHIP honors the mem- ory of the Academic Dean who served LaGrange College from 1922 to 1959. The fund was established by Mrs. Bailey and their daughter, Mrs. William F. Corley. CULTURAL OPPORTUNITIES In order that cultural activities may be a part of their daily lives, LaGrange College students are given an opportunity to hear fine music, both vocal and instrumental, to see good art, and to enjoy the best in dramatic presentations and lectures. Moreover, they have the opportunity to participate in music programs, to produce original art, and to take part in dramatic productions. Those interested in the theatre will enjoy the Summer Theatre Repertory conducted by the Speech and Drama Department. Students enrolled in this course produce comedies in repertory at Callaway Gardens. Visiting artists and lecturers are brought to the community annually. The Division of Fine Arts each year sponsors programs and activities focusing attention on drama, music, and visual arts. LaGrange Col- Student Affairs 11 lege student performances also are of such quality that the students perform both in LaGrange and in other communities. The students also may avail themselves of cultural opportunities in Atlanta and Columbus. ASSEMBLY ATTENDANCE REQUIREMENTS All students registered for as much as ten hours of work are required to attend convocations and assemblies. Exception may be made quarterly by the Dean of Students only in case of hardship upon students whose outside work might interfere with attendance. When a student has been absent from assembly one time during a quarter, he will be allowed no further assembly absences during that quarter; if he is absent more than one time during a quarter, he will be allowed no assembly absences during his next quarter of attendance. HOUSING REQUIREMENTS LaGrange College is a residential college. Students not living at home or with relatives are expected to live in the dormitories. Men and women students may live off campus at the beginning of the quarter after their twenty-first birthday or at the beginning of the first quarter of their senior year. There are no housing facilities on campus for married couples. Students occupying single rooms pay extra per quarter depending on the dormitory in which they reside. Exception is made only if, due to an unequal number of students, there is no roommate avail- able. MEDICAL CARE Under the Student Health Program students are provided care by a registered nurse in the student infirmary. The nurse is on duty from 8:30 a. m. to 5:00 p. m. Monday through Friday and for emergency calls between these hours. The nurse assists the students in securing a physician if needed. The services of the nurse and the use of the in- firmary are available to dormitory students only. Charges for X-rays, prescriptions, hospital charges, and fees of phy- sicians or surgeons to whom a student is referred are the respon- 12 LaGrange College sibility of the student. Private nurses and personal physicians must be paid for by the student. An optional group accident and sickness insurance plan is available to all full-time students. The annual premium covers a calendar year, including holidays and summer vacation. STUDENT RESPONSIBILITY Responsibility for maintenance of high standards and honorable con- duct in academic matters and social activities is entrusted to students in cooperation with the faculty and administration of the College. LaGrange College students are expected at all times to conduct them- selves as ladies and gentiemen in their actions, manners, and dress so as to reflect the high standards and ideals of the College. To this end each student, upon enrollment at LaGrange College, signs the following pledge: In recognition of the obligations and privileges of membership in the student body of LaGrange College, I hereby agree to obey all rules and regulations of the College; to respect and to cooperate with its constituted authorities; to conduct myself honorably; and at all times to live in such a manner as to reflect credit upon myself, my family, and the College. I realize that failure to comply with this pledge subjects me to disciplinary action. A student whose conduct indicates that he or she is not in sympathy with the ideals and standards of the College or who seems unable to profit from its program may be asked to withdraw. In such cases the judgment of the administrative officers is sufficient. STUDENT GOVERNMENT Matters pertaining to the Student Government and student affairs are under the general direction of the Dean of Students and the Student Affairs Committee. Each LaGrange College student par- ticipates in the election of student officers. The Student Government Association has three branches. An ex- ecutive council, under the direction of officers elected by campus- wide balloting, coordinates and regulates all student activities on the campus. A legislative council makes the rules which regulate the democratic living of LaGrange College students. The judicial council may try cases involving dishonesty and serious misbehavior. Student Affairs 13 STUDENT CONDUCT LaGrange College has high standards of conduct. Drinking, lying, cheating, and stealing are not countenanced. In offenses involving issues of honor, the Judicial Council of the Student Government As- sociation shall determine involvement; the Judicial Council's recom- mendations on the above issues are, in all instances, referred to the President of the College for review. The President, who has final responsibility in the dismissal of students, shall concur in, revise, or reverse the recommendations of the Judicial Council. The possession or consumption on the LaGrange College campus of any type of alcoholic beverage, drugs, or other intoxicants is forbidden. The College does not condone the use of intoxicants or drugs off campus, or at any off-campus activities of student social organiza- tions. The failure on the part of the members of such an organization, or any of its guests, in any of its activities, duly to observe this prin- ciple can result in disciplinary action against the organization, as well as its individual members or student-guests. Where the offense is one of serious social misconduct, the Dean of Students has the authority for disciplinary action. When there are infractions of standards of integrity in the academic area, the Academic Dean has authority in dismissal. ORIENTATION AND COUNSELING All new students are introduced to LaGrange College through an orientation program which takes place at the beginning of each quarter. The orientation program is designed to acquaint the new students with various phases of the life of the College including tra- ditions, procedures, and regulations. It is believed that all students will profit from a proper introduction to the opportunities and re- sponsibilities of college life. Throughout their residence at LaGrange College, students may secure ready counseling service in personal matters from faculty advisers, the Dean of Students, the Assistant Dean of Students, the Academic Dean, or the President. SOCIAL LIFE Realizing that every well balanced life demands both recognition and participation, LaGrange College offers opportunities for many social contacts. Fraternities and sororities are maintained on a na- tional basis. The social life of the campus is conducted largely by the fraternities and sororities. 14 LaGrange College There are three national fraternities: Delta Tau Delta, Kappa Sigma, and Pi Kappa Phi. There are three national sororities: Alpha Omicron Pi, Kappa Delta, and Phi Mu. The Greek Council and National Panhellenic Council supervise and promote cooperation among these social groups. PLACEMENT SERVICE Each senior is requested to complete materials for a dossier and upon request a copy of this dossier is supplied to graduate schools or prospective employers. Throughout the academic year, conferences are scheduled and interviews with visiting recruiters are arranged. ORGANIZATIONS FOR ALL STUDENTS THE STUDENT GOVERNMENT ASSOCIATION, based on the authority granted by the College Administration, exists to serve as a medium for student expression, to coordinate campus activities, to promote better citizenship, to cooperate with the community, to up- hold the Code of Honor, and to serve LaGrange College. As a service organization, the drafting, printing, and enforcement of student rules and regulations are a primary responsibility of the Student Govern- ment Association. Although office-holding in the Student Govern- ment Association is restricted by specified scholastic standards, as a democratic organization the Student Government Association includes all members of the student body. ATHLETIC ASSOCIATIONS The Men's and Women's Athletic Associations formulate rules of eligibility for intramural teams and seek to promote physical development, good sportsmanship, and interest in sports among men and women students. The men's and women's physical education directors supervise the respective men's and women's intramural sports programs.

Administrative Regulations 27 Administrative Regulations ADMISSIONS It is the aim of LaGrange College to admit those students who dem- onstrate that they can benefit from a liberal arts education. In the selection of students, careful attention is given to the academic ability, character, health, and personality of each candidate. PROCEDURE FOR APPLYING FOR ADMISSION An application for admission should be submitted when the student decides he would like to attend LaGrange College. The application should be completed at least one month prior to the beginning of the quarter in which the entrance is desired. Applicants may enroll any quarter. To apply for admission, a student must submit the following items to the Admissions Office: 1. Application Form 2. Transcript of all previous work 3. SAT or ACT scores, for freshmen 4. High School or College Evaluation Form Students interested in LaGrange College are invited to visit the campus and may schedule an appointment by contacting the Ad- missions Office. An applicant will be notified as soon as the Admissions Committee has reached a decision. A room deposit of $50.00 for dormitory students, or an acceptance fee of $25.00 for town students, should be made within two weeks after acceptance. (This deposit, or fee, for a fall quarter student, is refundable prior to May 1.) The deposit, or fee, will be credited to the first quarter's expenses. A student's acceptance is tentative, pending satisfactory completion of work in progress. LaGrange College must receive notification of successful completion of such work before acceptance is final. 28 LaGrange College ACADEMIC ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS ADMISSION TO THE FRESHMAN CLASS: Prior to enrolling, an applicant should complete requirements for graduation from an approved high school.

A minimum of 500 on the Verbal SAT or a minimum of 24 in the English subject area of the ACT is desirable. An interview is re- quired of all early admission students. JOINT ENROLLMENT: Recognizing that there is an increasing number of high school students beginning their twelfth grade who need only one or two academic units to graduate and who very often become bored for lack of a sufficient challenge, LaGrange College has adopted a policy for Joint Enrollment at both LaGrange College and the student's high school. To qualify, a student must have a B+ or better high school average in his academic courses and a minimum score on the College Board SAT of 1050 combined or a composite Administrative Regulations 29 score of 25 on the ACT.

Special advisement and limits on extracurricular activities are required. All courses taken are for full credit. Students in this program must begin fall quarter. Further information is available from the Director of Admissions. TRANSFER STUDENTS: A student who has been in attendance at another institution may apply for transfer to LaGrange College if he is eligible to return to that institution at the time of entry to LaGrange College. Normally transfer students who have the A. A. Degree or an equivalent degree from an accredited junior college will be exempt from all LaGrange College General Requirements. A student with less than a 2.0 average may be accepted on probation. All records, in- cluding transcripts of all college work attempted, must be complete before the student is admitted to LaGrange College. Applicants may enroll any quarter. TRANSIENT STUDENTS: Students currently enrolled at another college and in good standing, may enroll at LaGrange College as tran- sient students. Approval of course work must be authorized on the Ap- plication for Transient Status which is available from the Admissions Office. SPECIAL STUDENTS: Students not working toward a degree may register as special students in any course for which they have the nec- essary prerequisites. An application for Special Student Status may be obtained through the Admissions Office. READMISSION STUDENTS: Following an absence from LaGrange College of one or more quarters, other than the Summer Quarter, the student who decides to return must process an Application for Re- admission. This form is available from the Admissions Office. CREDIT-BY-EXAMINATION AND EXEMPTION Beginning students may be eligible for credit and/ or exemption in certain areas through the College Level Examination Program (CLEP) and other recognized testing procedures. Participating departments have established their own standards for granting exemption and/or credit. 30 LaGrange College CREDIT THROUGH UNITED STATES ARMED FORCES INSTITUTE AND SERVICE SCHOOLS Courses taken through the United States Armed Forces Institute and other recognized military educational programs will be accepted in accordance with the policy governing transfer work when presented on official transcripts from accredited institutions. Fifteen quarter hours of elective credit will be allowed for military service credit, in- cluding USAFI correspondence courses and military service school courses as recommended by the American Council on Education. One activity course in Physical Education, up to a maximum of 3, will be waived for each two months served in the Armed Forces; a corre- sponding reduction will be made in the total number of hours required for the degree. DEGREES OFFERED LaGrange College offers the following degrees: Bachelor of Arts, As- sociate of Arts in Nursing, and Master of Education. REQUIREMENTS FOR THE A.B. DEGREE The requirements for the Bachelor of Arts degree call for a four-year program. The unit of work is the quarter hour. This means one class- meeting a week for the quarter. A course calling for five class- meetings a week for a quarter has a value of five quarter hours. The minimum work required for graduation is 183 quarter hours and a 1.9 quality-point average overall, as well as in all course work taken at LaGrange College. To be certified as a candidate for the degree, a student must have earned a cumulative average of 1.9 or better and completed all General Requirements before the beginning of his final quarter. A student who fails to earn a degree in sixteen full quarters or the equivalent may be denied further registration. A minimum of 15 quarter hours will meet the academic load require- ment for a full-time student. The maximum full load shall be 17 quar- ter hours; anything beyond is considered an overload. No student will be permitted to enroll for more than 21 hours in any one quarter. Quality points are earned as follows: A, 4; B, 3; C, 2; D, 1; F, 0. The quality-point average is computed by dividing the total quality points earned by the total hours attempted. If a student has received credit for a course and repeats that course, he receives no additional credit towards the degree. In computing the student's average, hours at- attempted and quality points are counted on both attempts. Administrative Regulations 31 Not more than 95 quarter hours of credit earned at a junior college will be counted toward the degree. No credit will be granted toward the degree for course work taken at a junior college after a student has attained junior standing. A transfer student will not be given credit toward graduation for any D's earned elsewhere until he has validated them at LaGrange College. One hour of B earned at La- Grange College will validate one hour of D, and one hour of A earned at LaGrange College will validate two hours of D. A transfer student who has not had a laboratory with his sciences must take a five-hour science course with laboratory, if he elects science to fulfill General Requirements. The last 60 hours of credit, in a minimum of 4 quarters, must be earned in residence at LaGrange College. During his last 6 quarters and last 90 hours of resident course work, a student may, however, upon ob- taining prior written approval from his academic adviser and the Aca- demic Dean, be permitted to enroll at another four-year college for not more than one full quarter, and not more than fifteen quarter hours of course work. For the purpose of meeting the residence re- quirements, credit earned in this manner will be considered as resi- dence credit. Credit totaling 10 hours or more earned in this way dur- ing the last 90 hours or final 6 quarters will, however, preclude the student's being granted credit for any course work taken by extension or by correspondence during the period. Any regularly enrolled LaGrange College student who desires to take course work for credit by extension or by correspondence must obtain prior approval in writing from his academic adviser and from the Aca- demic Dean. Such extension or correspondence credit may in no case exceed 10 hours; however, not more than 5 hours earned in this manner may be applied toward the fulfillment of the General Re- quirements of LaGrange College. Any course or courses so taken must be completed before the beginning of the student's final quarter, in order to be graduated that quarter. Normally a student will not be permitted to repeat as a transient at another institution a course in which an unsatisfactory grade has been received at LaGrange College. A student is classified as a freshman if he has earned fewer than 45 hours of credit. A student is classified as a sophomore if he has earned at least 45 hours of credit and fewer than 90. To be classed as a junior, a student must have earned at least 90 hours of credit and fewer than 135 hours. A student is classified as a senior upon having earned 135 hours of credit. No grade below C in any course above 100-level may be applied toward a major. 32 LaGrange College GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR THE BACHELOR OF ARTS DEGREE: All students are required to meet the General Requirements listed below. (Normally transfer students who have the A. A. Degree or an equivalent degree from an accredited junior college will be exempt from all LaGrange College General Requirements.) A student should complete as many of the requirements as possible during the first two academic years. A student classified as a freshman must schedule at least 10 hours of General Requirements each quarter. Other students who have not completed General Requirements must schedule at least 5 hours each quarter until they have completed these requirements. Any exception must have prior written approval of the adviser and of the Academic Dean. Each student must select 60 quarter hours from six of the following seven areas. At least one course must be selected from each of the six areas chosen, and no more than three may be chosen on General Requirements from any area. After the requisite 60 hours of General Requirements have been met, other courses from the General Requirements may be elected. Courses designated by a (f) are beginning courses; a beginning course must be taken in each area chosen. Beginning with the entering class for Fall, 1973, successful completion of a course in basic English skills (Eng 101) by the end of the sophomore year will be required of all students seeking a Bachelor's degree from LaGrange College. Students will receive 5 quarter hours of credit for successful completion, but this credit may not be used to satisfy any part of the 60 quarter hour General Re- quirements of the College. This course may be exempted only by those students who have scored 600 or above on the verbal component of the SAT examination or its equivalent. Transfer students will be advised of the application or non-application of this re- quirement to their particular situation. I. English: 1041, 105f, 106. II.

Specific courses for a minor are not designated, but they must be approved by the head of the department of the minor. PRE-PROFESSIONAL PROGRAMS OF STUDY: Pre-professional programs available at LaGrange College include the following: Dentistry Medicine and Pharmacy Engineering Allied Fields Theology Law Optometry The student who plans to enter a professional school upon completion of his college requirements should choose a major in accordance with normal procedure. He will encounter no difficulty in completing the work prescribed for entrance into professional studies while satisfy- ing requirements for a bachelor of arts degree. The prospective pro- 34 LaGrange College fessional student should inform his adviser of his plans in order that all prescribed work may be scheduled. Although it is possible for a student in some instances to fulfill certain pre-professional requirements in less than four years, most pro- fessional schools give preference to applicants who have completed requirements for a bachelor's degree. However, a student who plans to fulfill minimum requirements for admission to a professional school must, during his enrollment at LaGrange College, satisfy the General Requirements which apply to all students. Students of outstanding ability who, after careful planning, are ac- cepted for medical college upon completion of three years of under- graduate study may be granted the A. B. degree upon completion of the first year of medical study. This requires the prior approval of the Academic Dean of LaGrange College and completion of all General Requirements for the A.B. degree. LaGrange College is one of the colleges accepted for Joint Enrollment in Engineering by Georgia Institute of Technology. Prospective engineers should consult the Division of Science and Mathematics for details of this program. REQUIREMENTS FOR THE A.A. DEGREE IN NURSING The requirements for the Associate of Arts in Nursing degree call for a two-year program. The work unit, the number of quarter hours, and the number of class meetings per week are the same as required for the A.B. degree. The minimum number of quarter hours required for the completion of this degree is 100. The following course pattern is required for this major: FRESHMAN SOPHOMORE Fall Quarter Qtr. Hrs.

At least 15 quarter hours must be in Pro- fessional Education courses, 25 quarter hours in the teaching field, and 10 quarter hours as elective credit. No thesis is required. For courses and descriptions see departmental offerings. 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 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 written approval in advance by the instructor and the Academic Dean. W withdrawn passing. Normally, a grade of W will not be assigned after midquarter. WF withdrawn failing. The grade of WF is indicated in computation of grade point average. PF penalty failing. This grade is given for a breach of honor and is computed in grade point average. A student may register for a course on a non-credit basis for which he pays full tuition. If the student desires to have a grade assigned, he must fulfill all course requirements. A student may audit a course by paying the audit fee. All requests for audit courses must be approved in writing by the instructor and Academic Dean. No new freshman student may audit any course during the first quarter of residence at LaGrange College. An I is a temporary grade. Normally it must be removed by the date indicated in the Academic Calendar. Failure to remove an I by the date set automatically makes the grade an F. A grade other than I, once submitted, may not be changed by an instructor except with the formal approval of the Academic Advisory Coun- cil, within the next quarter. Grades are assigned and recorded for each course at the end of each quarter. Formal reports of grades are also issued at the same time. Grades and transcripts are withheld for any student who is under financial obligation to the College. \r Academic Procedures 37 Academic Procedures REGISTRATION AND ACADEMIC ADVISERS All students must register in advance on the dates specified. Failure to register on the proper dates will subject the student to a $10 late- registration fee. All registration procedures for all quarters are under the direction of the Academic Dean. Each student is assigned to a faculty adviser, who assists the student in planning an academic program. However, the ultimate re- sponsibility of meeting all requirements rests with the indi- vidual student. A student interested in a particular major should inform his general adviser in order that special prerequisite courses for the major may be scheduled. A major may be formally declared at any time after the student has earned 30 hours of credit. The student must declare his major in writing to the Academic Dean by the time he has earned 90 quarter hours of credit. The student will then be as- signed to an adviser in the department in which he will major. A student planning to pursue a program in Teacher Education must make application in writing to the head of the Department of Education at least by the time he declares his major. WITHDRAWAL A student who wishes to withdraw from any course must confer with the Academic Dean. Failure of a student to withdraw from a course formally and officially through the office of the Academic Dean normally will result in the assignment of a WF. Normally a student who withdraws after midquarter will not be assigned a W. Failure of a student to withdraw officially from the College nor- mally will result in the assignment of WF's for all courses for which he is registered. A student who wishes to withdraw from the College must confer with the Academic Dean and the Dean of Students. 38 LaGrange College ACADEMIC PROBATION REGULATIONS Students are placed on academic probation when the quality of work is such that progress toward graduation is in jeopardy. The purpose of probation is warning; it is not penalty. Students on probation and their parents shall be notified and the regulations governing probation shall be called to their attention. Students in the freshman class (fewer than 45 quarter hours of credit) who fail to maintain a 1.3 cumulative grade-point average at the end of any quarter for which they are enrolled will be placed on academic probation. For sophomores (fewer than 90 quarter hours of credit) a 1.65 cumulative grade-point average is required; for juniors (fewer than 135 quarter hours) and seniors (135 quarter hours and beyond) a 2.0 cumulative grade-point average is required. In all cases, students have three quarters to remove their probationary status. Failure to do so in three quarters makes these students subject to exclusion. Students are also subject to exclusion for failure to earn at least five quarter hours of academic credit in any quarter, or for other valid academic reasons. In the case of part-time students, the extent of ap- plication of these regulations will be at the discretion of the Academic Dean. Normally, all applications of the regulations will be based upon a fifteen quarter-hour academic load. CLASS ATTENDANCE REGULATIONS A student is expected to attend all classes, including labs, for all courses for which he is registered. The student is solely responsible for accounting to his instructor for any absence. An instructor may recommend action by the Absence Committee and the Academic Dean to drop from class with a grade of W or WF any student whose absences are interfering with satisfactory performance in the course. ACCELERATION Students desiring to accelerate their college program may complete requirements in less than four academic years. This may be accom- plished by attending summer schools and/or by taking an academic overload. Permission to take an overload in any quarter is granted only to those students who have earned at least an average of B (3.0) for the preceding quarter, except that a student may take an overload during one quarter of his senior year without respect to grade-point average. Academic Procedures 39 ACADEMIC HONORS Upon graduation, students who have been in residence at LaGrange College for at least their last ninety hours and 1. have attained a quality point average of 3.50 to 3.74 may be granted the A. B. degree cum laude or 2. have attained a quality point average of 3.75 to 3.89 may be granted the A.B. degree magna cum laude or 3. have attained a quality point average of 3.90 to 4.0 may be grant- ed the A.B. degree summa cum laude. At the end of each academic quarter, students who have maintained a 3.60 quality point average on a minimum of 15 quarter hours of work will be placed on the Dean's List. SPECIAL PROGRAMS There are several categories of special programs, described below. These are designed to meet special interests and special needs. In no case are they intended to be used as substitutes for any regular course offerings. Also, concurrent enrollment in any two or more of these special programs is discouraged. SPECIAL STUDIES In certain departments a course in special studies is offered. This course carries the number 399 and is offered for credit of not more than 5 quarter hours in one department to students who have the appropriate background and 90 quarter hours of earned credit. Per- mission to enroll in this course must be obtained in writing from the head of the department concerned and the Academic Dean. Requirements are as follows: 1. Enrollment in Special Studies 399 is restricted for each student to those areas where the student has completed at least 25 quarter hours. 2. Students on probation are not permitted to enroll in Special Studies 399. 3. This program may not be utilized to permit a student to pursue a course regularly offered. 4. No student is permitted to repeat as Special Studies 399 any course for which he already has credit. 5. If the proposed enrollment of a student in Special Studies 399 is in an area other than that of his major, such enrollment must have the written concurrence of the head of the second depart- ment. 40 LaGrange College INDEPENDENT STUDY In certain departments an independent study course is offered. This course is limited to upperclass major students who wish to pursue a particular problem or course of reading beyond that taken up in any formal course and lying within the capabilities of the library and lab- oratories. In order to be eligible for the independent study the student must have at least a 3.0 cumulative average. Total credit which can be earned through independent study will not be more than 5 quarter hours. This credit may be earned all in one quarter or may be extend- ed over two or more quarters. Permission to enroll in this course must be obtained from head of the department concerned and the Academic Dean. The course carries the number 495. SENIOR HONORS PROGRAM Seniors with a cumulative quality point average of 3.5 or above may apply for participation in the Honors Program which is available in certain departments. This program carries the course number 499, with 5 quarter hours of credit, in each participating department, with the designation "Honors Course." Applications must be sub- mitted in writing to the Academic Dean. TEACHER EDUCATION AND CERTIFICATION A student who receives the A.B. degree and who has also completed an approved program of Teacher Education, upon recommendation of the LaGrange College Department of Education, will be issued the professional teaching certificate by the State Board of Education. This certificate entitles the holder to teach in the public schools of Georgia (See page 86). For information concerning the Master of Education degree, see page 35. Also, a graduate supplement to this catalog is available. Academic Divisions The William and Evelyn Banks Library, a modern, air-conditioned facility, provides up-to-date resources to support and enrich the curriculum and to meet informational and recreational needs. The collections include approximately 58,000 volumes of books and bound periodicals, 363 current periodicals, 1,927 reels of microfilm, 2,467 microcards, 295 filmstrips, and 2,154 records. Stacks are open and interspersed with study areas capable of seating over a third of the student body. A student who enters LaGrange College under a given catalogue will be graduated under the requirements of that catalogue. If a student withdraws and re-enters more than four years later, he will graduate under the requirements of the catalogue in effect at the time of his re-entry. The schedule of classes will be followed insofar as possible, but the schedule is subject to change at the discretion of the College. The College reserves the right to cancel any class for which regis- tration is insufficient. All students must have 60 quarter hours of General Requirements courses in addition to Physical Education activities courses (see page 32). Courses numbered 100 through 199 are intended primarily for freshmen and sophomores. Courses numbered 300 through 399 and above are intended pri- marily for juniors and seniors. Courses numbered 400 through 499 are intended primarily for seniors. Courses numbered 400/500 may be taken by seniors and graduate students. Courses numbered 500 are for graduate students. The number in parentheses following the course title indicates the number of quarter hours credit for the course. 42 LaGrange College FINE ARTS PROFESSOR ESTES ASSOCIATE PROFESSORS CLINE, LAWRENCE ASSISTANT PROFESSOR JEFFERY The Fine Arts Division is comprised of two Departments: Art, and Speech and Drama.
