About LaGrange College

LaGrange College is called through The United Methodist Church to chal-
lenge the minds and inspire the souls of students by improving their creative,
critical and communicative abilities in a caring and ethical community.

Mission

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, unin-
hibited 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 abil-
ities. Faculty recognize the part they play in a student's development by serv-
ing as mentors and role models. The total LaGrange College program
curricular and cocurricular 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 inter-
disciplinary, technologically sophisticated liberal arts program (A.A., B.A.,
B.S.), professional programs in business (B.B.A., M.B.A.) nursing (B.S.N.) and
education (B.A., M.Ed.), and continuing education. The principal cocurricular
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, diver-
sity, service, and excellence.

Adopted by Faculty, Administration, and Board of Trustees, 1 997.

History and Description

The history of LaGrange College is closely associated with the history of
the City of LaGrange and Troup County. When the vast tract of land lying
between the Flint and Chattahoochee Rivers was secured by the Indian
Springs Treaty of 1825 and was opened for settlement in 1827, one of the
five counties formed on the western border of the state was named Troup
in honor of Governor George Michael Troup.

1 / About LaCrange College

An act was passed by the Georgia Legislature on December 24, 1827,
providing for the selection of a county seat. It was named LaGrange after
the country estate of the Marquis de Lafayette, American Revolutionary
War hero who had visited the region in 1825 as the guest of Governor
Troup. The site for the town of LaGrange was purchased in 1828 and the
town was incorporated on December 18, 1828. On December 26, 1831,
the charter for the LaGrange Female Academy was granted at the state
capitol, then in Milledgeville.

In 1831 Andrew Jackson was president of the United States. Abraham
Lincoln was 22 years old. The Creek Indians had been moved out of this
area of the state only six years earlier. The only other college in the state
was Franklin College, now The LJniversity of Georgia.

In 1847 the charter for the school was amended and the school became
the LaGrange Female Institute with power to confer degrees. The name
was changed to LaGrange Female College in 1851 and in 1934 it was
changed to LaGrange College. The college became officially coeducational
in 1953.

The first location of the school was in a large white building at what is
now 406 Broad Street. The school moved to its present location "On The
h-lill," the highest geographical point in LaGrange, after the construction of
the building now known as Smith Hall in 1842.

The College was sold to the Georgia Conference of the Methodist
Episcopal Church South in 1856. Today it is an institution of the North
Georgia Conference of The LJnited Methodist Church.

Strong in the liberal arts, LaGrange College has an outstanding reputa-
tion in pre-professional programs, including pre-medical and allied fields,
pre-law, pre-theology, and engineering.

LaGrange College offers the Bachelor of Arts degree with eighteen
majors, the Bachelor of Business Administration with four concentration areas,
the Bachelor of Science degree in four areas and the Bachelor of Science in
Nursing degree. The Master of Business Administration degree and the
Master of Education degree in Early Childhood and Middle Childhood are
offered. The Associate of Arts degree is offered in three areas.

LaGrange College operates on the quarter system until the fall of 2000,
when it will switch to a modified semester system ("4-1-4"). In addition to the
day schedule of classes in the fall, winter and spring quarters, there is an
evening session. There are also both day and evening sessions in the summer.

The college draws more than half of its student body from Georgia. With
students from more than one-third of the states and from several foreign
countries, the college has a cosmopolitan and international representation
which includes various religious and ethnic backgrounds.

While proud of its heritage, the college continues to add to and improve
its curriculum and facilities to meet the needs of its students today. LaGrange
College originated the plan for students to complete fall quarter before
Thanksgiving and have a 40-day holiday break. Georgia's leader in granting

academic credit through the College Level Examination Program, the college
also offers travel seminars, field study programs and internships. Students in
the college's nursing division receive supervised learning experiences in
many area medical facilities. Campus art exhibitions, lectures, concerts, and
varsity and intramural sports add to the cultural enrichment and recreational
opportunities offered by the college.

The college is located in the town of LaCrange, Ceorgia, which has a
population of 26,000. Nearby are Callaway Gardens, the Warm Springs
Foundation and Franklin D. Roosevelt's Little White FHouse. The West Point
Dam on the Chattahoochee River provides one of the largest lakes in the
region, with waterfronts and marina within the city limits of LaCrange.

Accreditation

As a coeducational, four-year liberal arts college, LaCrange College is
fully accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Associa-
tion of Colleges and Schools, 1866 Southern Lane, Decatur, Georgia
30033-4097, approved by the United Methodist University Senate, and has
membership in the National Association of Independent Colleges and
Universities, the National Association of United Methodist Colleges, the
Georgia Association of Colleges, The Council of Advancement and Support
of Education, the Georgia Foundation for Independent Colleges, and the
Association of Private Colleges and Universities in Georgia. The Georgia
Professional Standards Commission, which confers professional certificates
upon college graduates meeting requirements in early childhood, middle
school, or secondary education, has awarded highest approval to
LaCrange College's program of teacher education.

The new 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.

Sessions of the College

The academic year is divided into three quarters, each of which is about
ten weeks long. In the summer, classes meet in an abbreviated session of seven
weeks. In the fall of 2000, LaCrange College will begin operating under the
"4-1-4" modified semester plan. Students will take two shortened semesters
in the fall and spring and also a January term of a single academic course.

Both day and evening classes are available during each of these four
terms. The day and evening classes are sessions of the same academic pro-
gram; however, with the exception of a limited number of majors it is nec-
essary to attend day classes at some time in order to complete degree
requirements.

students are asked to submit course records, including bibliographies, and an
academic portfolio reflecting the completion of these requirements. Further
information on requirements for homeschooled students can be obtained
from the Office of Admission.

LaGrange College students come from a variety of public and private
secondary school backgrounds. Preference is given to applicants who have
strong academic preparation in high school. A typical matriculant will have
completed the following number of units:

English 4

Social Studies 3

College Preparatory Mathematics 3

(Algebra I, Algebra II, Geometry, etc.)
Science 3

Foreign Language 2

Desirable electives include additional academic courses in languages,
mathematics, and the sciences. A basic understanding of computer science
is also encouraged.

Recognizing that situations sometime arise that make the completion of a
standard college preparatory curriculum unworkable, LaGrange College will
consider students for admission that have completed 15 units with a mini-
mum of 1 1 units in the following areas:

English 4

Social Studies 3

Mathematics 2

Science 2

Scores from either the SAT (administered by the College Entrance
Examination Board) or ACT (administered by the American College Testing
Program) are required of all freshmen applicants. Test results should be sent

Admission / 21

directly to LaGrange College, preferably in November, December, or January
of the student's senior year of high school.

Mature students with an irregular educational background may qualify
for admission by achieving satisfactory scores on the tests of General Edu-
cational Development (GED), High School Level. These students may also
waive the SAT/ACT requirement.

LaGrange College takes many factors into account in making admission
decisions. These factors include a student's grade point average, course
work, standardized test scores, personal statement, extracurricular and
cocurricular activities. Students may be accepted to LaGrange College in
one of several categories.

Regular Admission: Most students offered admission to LaGrange College
are accepted with no stipulations, other than successful completion of their
current academic course work and proof of high school graduation.

Provisional Admission: This program is designed for applicants who are
unable to meet the standard admission criteria but who appear to have the
potential to succeed at LaGrange College. Students in this program must earn
a grade point average of 1 .6 during the first quarter of college work. All courses
taken are for full credit. Further information on this program is available from
the Director of Admission.

Early Admission: Early admission is possible for academically talented stu-
dents who have completed their junior year of high school. To qualify for
early admission, a student must meet specific academic criteria including a
B-i- or better high school average in their academic course work and comple-
tion of 10 of the 11 prescribed units, with a minimum total of 15 units. Students
seeking early admission must also earn a minimum composite score of 1 1 00
on the SAT or 25 on the ACT. A minimum of 550 on the verbal portion of the
SAT or a minimum of 24 on the English subject area of the ACT is highly
desirable. An interview is required for all early admission candidates.

joint Enrollment: LaGrange College encourages qualified eleventh and
twelfth grade students to consider simultaneous enrollment in LaGrange
College and their high school. Georgia high sschool seniors may wish to
consider participating in the Georgia Post-secondary options program.
Students wishing to apply for the joint enrollment program or Georgia Post-
secondary options program must submit the following materials: an applica-
tion for admission, application fee, recommendation letter from the
student's principal or headmaster, SAT or ACT scores, and a high school
average that indicates that the student has the academic ability to be suc-
cessful in the program.

Transfer Admission: Students attending another institution may apply for
transfer to LaGrange College provided they are eligible to return to their
current institution at the time of entry to LaGrange College. A student may
be accepted on probation under the standard probation regulations. Prior

22 /Admission

to admission to LaGrange College, the Office of Admission must receive all
necessary documents, including official transcripts of all college course
work. Applicants may enroll at the beginning of any quarter.

LaGrange College is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the
Southern Association of Colleges and Schools and, accordingly, accepts
course work from similarly regionally accredited colleges and universities.
Academic credit is normally given to students for grades of "C" or above.
Acceptable credit from a junior college is limited to 100 quarter hours. Students
enrolling from other senior colleges may be able to receive credit beyond the
normal 145 quarter hour limit, but the LaGrange College residency requirements,
the general education curriculum, and appropriate major course work must be
satisfied. Transfer students who have attempted any developmental-level course
work must provide evidence that they have completed all requirements and
successfully exited the program prior to evaluation by the admission committee.
Members of Phi Theta Kappa may qualify for academic scholarship reserved
for members of this society.

Transient Admission: Students currently enrolled in good standing at
another college may enroll at LaGrange College as transient students.
Approval of course work must be authorized by the primary institution on the
Application for Transient Status, which is available in the Admission Office. A
permission letter from the student's home institution certifying status and
granting permission for specific transient course work may also be sent.

Non-degree Undergraduate Admission: Students not working toward a
degree may register as non-degree undergraduate students in any course for
which they have the necessary prerequisites. An application for non-degree
undergraduate student status may be obtained through the Admission
Office. Students classified as non-degree undergraduate students may
become regular, degree-seeking students by meeting requirements for regu-
lar admission. No more than 10 credit hours earned under this classification
may be applied toward a degree.

Readmission to LaGrange College: Following an absence from LaGrange
College of four or more quarters during the academic year, or any time a
student was not in good standing during the last quarter of attendance at
LaGrange College, any student deciding to return to attempt additional course
work must submit an Application for Readmission. This form is available in
the Office of Admission. Students absent from LaGrange College for three
quarters or less, who were in good academic standing when they last attended
LaGrange College, may re-activate their file in the Registrar's Office. These
students do not need to apply for readmission.

In the event that a student seeking readmission has attended another
institution as a transfer student (not transient) since they left LaGrange
College, then the student, if readmitted, is treated as a new transfer student.
Students fitting this description are subject to the Bulletin in force at the time
of transfer back to LaGrange College. Students who have not attended

Admission / 23

another institution are generally governed by the catalog in force at the time
of their initial admission. However, students vy/ho have been out of school
for four calendar years or more re-enter LaGrange College under the
Bulletin in force at the time of readmission and resumption of study.

International Student Admission: Admission to LaGrange College
requires submission of the international student application, application
fee, and translated and certified documents attesting to the student's acade-
mic performance in secondary and/or university studies. Students seeking
admission may submit one of the following to prove English proficiency:

Minimum TOEFL score of 500;

Certificate of completion of Level 109 from the ELS Centers, Inc.

Grades of "C" or better on G.C.E., G.S.C.E., or C.X.C. English examina-
tions or equivalent tests;

minimum SAT verbal score of 450;

minimum ACT English section score of 21 .

If the prospective student is in the United States, an interview at the col-
lege is desirable and may often be substituted for a TOEFL score. The Director
of Admission should be contacted for an appointment as well as for the cur-
rent interpretation of regulations with regard to obtaining an F-1 student visa.

All LaGrange College undergraduate degree-seeking students taking 12
hours or more who have been residents of the state of Georgia for 1 2 con-
secutive months are eligible to receive a tuition equalization grant regard-
less of need. The amount of this grant for 1 998-99 is expected to be $1 000.

In addition, those Georgia students who are entering Freshmen as FHope
Scholars (B or better high school grade average) will receive a $3000 acad-
emic scholarship grant from the Georgia FHope Scholarship* program as
long as they maintain a "B or better" average. Those students previously
enrolled will continue to receive the $1 500 FHope grant until they graduate
or until July 1, 1999, whichever occurs first and regardless of their grade
point average.

State of Georgia Tuition grants MUST be applied for at registration in
order to be processed within the time limit set by the State. Failure to apply
on time means the student will not receive the State Tuition Grant and will
personally have to pay the amount of the grant.

* Under the State of Georgia guidelines a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 (B) is required to maintain
eligibility for the HOPE Scholarship.

Depending on individual requirements, a student may expect to spend
$750.00 to $1000.00 per year for books and personal expenses.

The above charges are applicable to an academic year of three quarters
duration.

Summer Quarter costs and curriculum are available in a separate bulletin.

Nursing students should consult with the Nursing Division concerning
required nursing supplies and their projected costs.

All students must present proof of health insurance at the time of regis-
tration. If the student has no insurance, the college will make a charge for
limited coverage group sickness and accident insurance.

Transcripts of grades are withheld for any student who has a financial
obligation to LaGrange College.

Refund and Repayment Policies

Refund Policies

No refund of any nature will be made to any student who is suspended
or dismissed for disciplinary reasons.

No refund will be made for individual courses dropped after dates
established by the school calendar.

Refunds will be processed within 10 days of notification of official with-
drawal.

A student considering a complete withdrawal should first see Vice Presi-
dent and Dean for Student Life and Retention in the Office of Student Develop-
ment to begin the withdrawal process. The student should also consult the
Office of Student Financial Planning and the Business Office to determine
the financial consequences of a complete withdrawal.

Refund Policies Tuition and Fees

In the event of complete withdrawal from college after registration,
refunds will be made on the following basis:

100% refund of tuition charges and fee charges if the student withdraws
before the end of the drop/add period

90% refund of tuition charges if the student withdraws within 10% (in
time) of the enrollment period following the end of the drop/add
period

50% refund of tuition charges if the student withdraws between 10%
and 25% (in time) of the enrollment period following the end of the
drop/add period

25% refund of tuition charges if the student withdraws between 25%
and 40% (in time) of the enrollment period following the end of the
drop/add period

Refund Policies Room and Board

There is no refund of the room deposit if the student does not enroll.

No refund of room or board will be made if a student withdraws from
the dormitory after registration.

In the event of complete withdrawal from college, there is no refund of
room charges. The charge for board will be at the rate of $15.00 per day
from the date of final registration.

Refund Policies for Students Receiving Financial Aid

LaGrange College does not advance any funds to students prior to the
date of final registration.

Financial Intormation I 29

A separate refund (X)licy exists for new, first cjuarter students (freshmen
and transfers) who receive Title IV federal financ iai assistance. Information
is available in the Financial Planning Office.

Georgia residents receiving credit for the Tuition Equalization Grant and
the HOPE Grant must be continuously enrolled for 14 days beyond
drop/add to be eligible for these funds. Course drops reducing the course-
load below 1 2 hours will result in the loss of these grants.

Financial aid is considered to be used for direct educational costs
tuition, fees, books, room and board. Therefore, if a student withdraws and
is scheduled to receive a refund, funds will be returned to the appropriate
program(s) from which the student received funds. The balance will be
refunded to the student.

A student will not receive a refund until all financial aid programs have
been reimbursed. Refunds will be returned in the order indicated in the
"Allocation Policy" below:

1st to Unsubsidized Federal Stafford Loan Program

2nd to Subsidized Federal Stafford Loan Program

3rd to Federal PLUS Program

4th to Unsubsidized Federal Direct Stafford Loan Program

5th to Subsidized Federal Direct Stafford Loan Program

6th to Federal Direct PLUS Program

7th to Federal Perkins Loan Program

8th to Federal Pell Grant Program

9th to Federal SEOG Program

1 0th to other Title IV Programs

11th to other federal, state, private or institutional assistance programs

12th to the student

Repayment Policy

Students who receive cash disbursements after registration for that
enrollment period will be assessed liability for repayment of the appropri-
ate percentage of the refund due the Title IV programs upon withdrawal,
expulsion, or suspension.

Students who receive cash disbursements that are attributable to Federal
Pell, SEOG, Perkins Loan, or SSIG programs may owe a repayment of these
funds to LaGrange College to prevent an overpayment. A student who
owes a repayment will be deemed ineligible for any financial assistance from
any source until the student has resolved the overpayment. Repayments will
be allocated to the student aid programs in the following order: Federal Perkins
Loan, Pell Grant, SEOG, other Title IV programs, and then to the institution.

Financial Planning

Philosophy

LaGrange College believes that the student and family should contribute
to the educational expenses of attending college to the extent of their abil-
ity to do so. When family resources do not meet the total costs of attending
this institution, a financial need is established. We, at LaGrange College,
will do all we can to assist you in meeting that need. The student should be
prepared to assume a measure of responsibility through limited work or
through borrowing a reasonable portion of any financial need.

General Information

Financial need is the difference between the total educational costs and
the amount the family can contribute. The family contribution is deter-
mined by using a standard need analysis form. The Free Application for
Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or Renewal Application are the preferred need
analysis documents. The Free Application for Federal Student Aid or
Renewal Application must be completed by all students and allows the
applicant to apply for federal, institutional, and state programs.

Applicants for financial assistance need not be accepted for admission to
apply. FHowever, the student must be accepted for enrollment before an offi-
cial aid award can be made. Financial aid awards are made for each aca-
demic year. Therefore, students must complete a need analysis each year.

Procedure for Applying for Financial Aid

1 . Apply for admission to the college through the Admission Office.

2. Submit the FAFSA or Renewal Application to the processor for process-
ing as soon as possible after January 1 . The FAFSA may be obtained
from high school counselors or the Office of Student Financial Plan-
ning at the College. Students who applied for financial assistance in
the previous award year will receive a Renewal Application from the
central processor or the Office of Student Financial Planning. Students
whose financial aid file is completed by June 1 st get preference for aid.
Students completing files after that deadline will receive grant assis-
tance if funds are available.

3. Submit the LaGrange College Financial Aid Application to the Office
of Student Financial Planning. This form is available upon request.

4. Complete and submit the Georgia Tuition Equalization Grant Applica-
tion for the Georgia Tuition Equalization Grant and Helping Outstand-
ing Pupils Educationally (HOPE) Grant and Scholarship programs to

32 / Financial Planning

the Office of Student Financial Planning. This form is available only at
private colleges in Georgia.
5. Transfer students requesting assistance must submit a Financial Aid
Transcript (FAT) from all post-secondary institutions previously
attended whether or not financial assistance was received. These
forms may be obtained by contacting the Office of Student Financial
Planning or the institutions previously attended.

Determination of Eligibility
for Need-Based Assistance

The College annually calculates a cost of attendance budget which is
composed of tuition and fees, room and board, books and supplies, trans-
portation and miscellaneous expenses. The expected family contribution,
(EFC) as determined by the processed need analysis document (FAFSA), is
deducted from the appropriate budget to determine unmet need. The
Office of Student Financial Planning then prepares a financial aid award to
cover as much of the student's unmet need as possible. Funds are awarded
to students as their financial aid file are completed.

Budgets for 98-99:

Dependent undergraduates residing in the

dormitories/off-campus 16,404

Dependent undergraduates residing with parents 14,463

Independent undergraduates residing off-campus 1 9,464
Dependent nursing students residing in the

dormitories/off-campus 18,448

Dependent nursing student residing with parents 1 6,672

Independent nursing students residing off-campus 21 ,673

Graduate students residing in the dormitories/off campus 1 2,674

Graduate students residing with parents 10,778

Graduate students residing off-campus 1 5,899

Student Eligibility

In general, to be eligible for student financial assistance you must:

A. be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident of the United States.

Financial Planning / 33

F. not have borrowed in excess of the loan limits under the Title IV pro-
grams at any institution.

G. be registered with Selective Service, if re(]uired.

Student Financial Aid Policy

Each year the Office of Student Financial Planning receives more requests
for financial assistance than funds are available. First priority for assistance
goes to eligible students who are in pursuit of the first baccalaureate degree.
Students who are enrolled less than half-time are eligible for assistance.
Special students (those not enrolled in a degree seeking program), transient
students and unclassified graduate students are not eligible for any type of
assistance.

Students who receive aid awarded by the College during the academic
year will be given preference for summer awards contingent upon avail-
ability of funds.

Students who receive academic scholarships only are not required to
complete a "need analysis" document although all students are encour-
aged to do so.

All undergraduate Georgia residents enrolled full-time must apply for the
Georgia Tuition Equalization Grant and FHOPE Grant and Scholarship Programs.

Any aid that a student receives or expects to receive from any outside
source must be reported to the Office of Student Financial Planning. This
includes scholarships, grants, and loans. The receipt of such aid may result in
a reduction, cancellation, and/or repayment of your need based assistance.

Responsibilities of Financial Aid Recipients

1 . You must get a campus post office box (there is no charge) and
check it often.

2. You must let the Office of Student Financial Planning know any time
that you drop classes, or fail to enroll as a full time student (12 or
more hours).

3. You must notify the Office of Student Financial Planning any time
you change your living arrangements from that which you desig-
nated on the need analysis document you originally filed (if you
move home, move on campus, or if you move elsewhere).

4. You must notify the Office of Student Financial Planning of changes
in your household size and number in post-secondary institutions at
any time during the award year when said changes occur.

5. You must notify the Office of Financial Planning if you plan to with-
draw from school or transfer.

6. You must complete an exit interview for Federal Family Education
and Federal Perkins Loan Programs prior to graduation, withdrawal,
or transferring.

34 / Financial Planning

7. You must provide in a timely manner any additional information
requested by the Office of Student Financial Planning.

8. You must make satisfactory academic progress to maintain eligibility
for financial assistance.

Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy

The United States Department of Education requires that a student be
maintaining satisfactory academic progress in their course of study to
receive any Title iV financial aid. Satisfactory academic progress means the
student is progressing in a positive manner consistent with fulfilling their
degree or certification requirements. Satisfactory progress is evaluated through-
out the course of study. Satisfactory academic progress is measured by three
criteria: qualitative grade point average, quantitative hours earned, and
time frame the maximum allowable attempted hours.

Federal and State programs subject to the Satisfactory Academic Progress
Policy are Title IV programs Federal Pell Grant, Federal Supplemental Edu-
cational Opportunity Grant, Federal College Work Study, Federal Perkins
Loan, Federal Stafford Loans, Federal PLUS loans; and State programs State
Student Incentive Grant, State Tuition Equalization Grant, FHOPE Grant,
HOPE Scholarship* and State Sponsored loans.

*Under the State of Georgia guidelines a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 (B) is required to maintain
eligibility for the HOPE Scholarship.

Qualitative

The minimum academic progress requirements for all students are those
academic standards imposed by LaGrange College as stated in the
LaGrange College Bulletin section titled "Academic Standing Probation
Regulations." Academic probation or suspension is the same for enrollment
as for financial aid eligibility. The Dean of the College monitors this part of
the Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy quarterly.

Federal regulations require a student to have a 2.0 cumulative grade
point average at the end of the second year (regardless of course load) or
that which is consistent with the institution's policy governing academic
progress. LaGrange College's policy is as follows:

Attempted Required Minimum

Hours Cumulative Average

0- 44.9 1.65

45- 89.9 1.75

90-134.9 1.85

135 and above 2.00

The policy of the institution will be used to assess satisfactory academic

progress.

Financial Planning/ 35

Quantitative

A student accepting aid from any of the federal or state programs listed
above must earn at least the following number of cumulative earned credits:

Hours Required Minimum
* Attempted Cumulative Earned Credits

45 30

90 65

135 100

180 135

225 170

270 195

* Attempted hours, earned hours, and grade point average are based on
course work at LaGrange College.

Students that drop courses, withdraw frequently, fail courses, repeat
courses, take courses not related to their degree objective, or change majors
should be cautioned that the maximum time frame or lifetime Federal
Stafford loan limits are not exhausted before completing their degree.

Time Frame

Students pursuing an undergraduate degree have a maximum time
frame of 270 attempted hours. Students who fail to complete their degree
requirements within the time frame will have eligibility for financial assis-
tance. Students working on a dual or second undergraduate degree will
have an additional 90 hours to complete degree requirements. The maxi-
mum time frame for completing a Masters degree is 90 attempted hours.

Transfer credits accepted by LaGrange College will be considered in the
time frame component of the Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy. However,
those credits will not be considered in calculating grade point average or
hours earned.

Evaluation

To maintain eligibility for Title IV federal or state programs, a student must
meet all three (3) criteria specified: grade point average, hours earned, and
the 270-attempted-hours time frame.

The grade point average requirement, which is the same as the academic
probation policy of the institution, is monitored by the Dean of the College
each quarter. Once the determination of enrollment eligibility is assessed, the
Dean of the College follows with a memo to the Office of Student Financial
Planning indicating those students who have been suspended. If a student
is allowed to continue enrollment on probation, he/she maintains eligibility
for financial aid; if he/she is suspended from enrollment, future eligibility
for financial aid is terminated.

36 / Financial Planning

The time frame and hours earned components of the policy are moni-
tored by the Director of the Office of Student Financial Planning utilizing
the academic records of the College to insure that the student has earned
the required number of hours when compared against hours attempted. These
criteria are evaluated quarterly.

Students who do not earn the required number of hours or who exceed
the time frame will have all sources of federal, state, and institutional assis-
tance terminated at the time that such determination has been made.

Students who have their financial aid terminated may have their aid
reinstated pending approval by the Student Financial Planning Appeals
Committee and the availability of funds at the time.

Appeals

A student may appeal the denial of aid except for time frame if mitigat-
ing circumstances have occurred. This appeal should be submitted in writ-
ing to the Director of the Office of Student Financial Planning who will
submit the appeal to the Financial Aid Appeals Committee. This letter
should include (a) reason for failure to meet the minimum academic
requirements and (b) how the deficiency will be resolved. The Committee
shall convene within two weeks of the date of receipt of the written appeal
and shall inform the Director of its decision in writing. The Director will
then inform the student of the decision within one week of the hearing.

The Financial Aid Appeals Committee may require specific terms for
reinstatement of eligibility that may include a student's paying his/her own
expenses for a specified time or for a specified number of hours. Any spe-
cial terms for readmission to the College will also play a part in reestablishing
eligibility. It will be the responsibility of the student to notify the Financial
Planning Office once any special requirements have been met.

Federal Tax Law

The Tax Reform Act of 1986 contained provisions regarding the federal
income tax treatment of scholarships and grants. If a student receives
scholarships or grants from LaGrange College or any other source, that stu-
dent should be aware of the following:

Under the law, only qualified scholarships or grants may be excluded
from the recipient's gross income.

Qualified scholarships or grants are amounts awarded to degree-seeking
candidates and used for tuition, required fees, books, supplies and equip-
ment required for courses of instruction. If the award specifies that any por-
tion of the scholarship or fellowship may not be used for these described
expenses or if it designates any portion of the award for purposes other
than those expenses just described (room, board, transportation, or living
expenses), those designated amounts are not qualified scholarships or

Financial Planning/ 37

grants. Awards in excess of the described expenses are to be included in
the recipient's gross income (an unearned income).

Included within the definition of scholarships and grants and thus possi-
bly subject to taxation, are scholarships and grants awarded on the basis of
academic merit, talent, financial need or any other factors; state and federal
grants, including Pell Grant; and tuition remissions or reductions (resident
assistant grant). Awards may come from LaG range College, from state or fed-
eral agencies, or from private organizations.

Any cost related to room and board for which the student receives
financial aid in the form of a grant or scholarship will be fully taxable.
Resident Assistant and Sims Scholarship recipients will be affected by these
provisions.

It is important that the student keep copies of documents which will
establish the amounts of scholarships and the amount paid for tuition,
required fees, books, supplies and course-related equipment. Records
might include award letter from the Office of Student Financial Planning,
check stubs from scholarships, charge sheets from registration, receipts
from the Business Office and receipts for the purchase of books, supplies
and equipment.

Neither LaGrange College nor any other awarding agency is required to
report scholarships or grants to the Internal Revenue Service; reporting of
such income for tax purposes is the sole responsibility of the recipient.

Estimated Tax

The grantor of a grant or scholarship does not withhold taxes. With no
withholding the student may be liable for the payment of estimated taxes.
Generally, you must make estimated tax payments if your estimated tax
payment will be $550 or more for the tax year. If you do not pay enough
estimated tax you may have to pay a penalty.

This information is not intended as tax advice and the student is encour-
aged to seek the assistance of a tax advisor.

For more information pertaining to the taxability of grants and scholar-
ships the student may wish to order publication 520 from the Internal

Verification of Financial Aid Application Data

Verification is the process by which the Office of Student Financial
Planning reviews reported application data against appropriate documents
utilized to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)
or Renewal form to determine the accuracy of the application.

Federal regulations require verification of at least 30% of the applica-
tions received. A federal edit system determines those applications which
should be verified. The Office of Student Financial Planning reserves the
right to verify any application not selected by the edit system.

38 / Financial Planning

No financial aid award will be made final nor loan application certified
until the verification process has been connpleted.

Documents That May Be Required

1 . Federal tax returns for both the student and the parent for the previ-
ous tax year (W-2 forms issued by employers are not tax returns).

2. Year-end documents or written certification issued by the Social
Security Administration regarding annual amount of benefits paid to
a household.

3. Divorce decrees or proof of legal separation for married students.

4. Documents showing the amount of child support received in the
household of a divorced or separated student or parent.

5. Documents showing the amount of child support paid out for other
households in cases of divorce or separation.

6. A list of family members including age and post-secondary institu-
tion of each family member of the applicant.

7. Any source of income not reported on the tax return.

8. Benefits paid from the Department of Family and Children Services
for aid to families of dependent children.

9. A notarized statement that no tax return was filed and that no income
from work was earned.

Deadlines for Submitting Verification Documents

The Office of Student Financial Planning will notify the applicant, upon
receiving the processed need analysis, of verification requirements.
Applicants selected for verification will receive a maximum of four letters
requesting additional information with 10 days to respond to each request.
If , after four notices, the applicant fails to respond, the application will be
archived until the applicant submits the requested documentation. If no
additional documents are required, the applicant will receive an official
award notification.

Correction of Need Analysis Data

If errors are detected during the verification process, the errors will be cor-
rected electronically with the central processor by the Office of Student
Financial Planning. The applicant will receive a copy of the revised Student
Aid Report reflecting the updated data.

Disbursement of Financial Aid Funds

All financial aid funds are credited to the student's account. Only stu-
dents who are registered for classes are eligible for disbursement. For the
purpose of prepayment, students who preregister for a subsequent quarter
will receive credit for institutional and state aid as early as 45 days before

Financial Planning/ 39

the start of the term. Federal grants and loans are credited no earlier than
1 days before the start of classes.

Most Federal Family Education Loan Programs Federal Subsidized
Stafford, Federal Unsubsidized Stafford, and PLUS are disbursed by
Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT). Loan proceeds disbursed in this manner are
directly credited to the borrower's student account if all eligibility require-
ments are met. Federal Stafford loans disbursed by check are held in the
Business Office for endorsement. The borrower must present a picture ID
and sign a check release form certifying eligibility before the loan disburse-
ment will be made. Borrowers have 45 days to retrieve their loan proceeds.
Loans not disbursed within this time frame will be returned to the borrower's
lender. First time borrowers of Federal Stafford and Federal Perkins loans are
required to complete entrance counseling prior to disbursement. First year
borrowers are also subject to a 30 day delayed disbursement requirement.
Borrowers who withdraw or otherwise lose eligibility before the delayed
disbursement requirement is met will forfeit eligibility for the disbursement.

PLUS loan proceeds disbursed by EFT are credited to the account of the
student on whose behalf the loan was made. Loans disbursed by check,
usually co-payable, are sent by certified mail to the borrower for endorse-
ment along with an options form for disposition of residual funds. LaGrange
College does not provide the initial endorsement.

Payroll checks for Federal Work Study and LaGrange College Work Aid
programs are issued on the 10th day of the month. Students who submit
time sheets will receive their payroll checks by way of their campus post
office boxes. Exception: a student who owes a balance must collect his
check in the Business Office.

Suspected Fraud

Institutions are required to refer applicants who have engaged in fraud
or other criminal misconduct in connection with the aid application to the
Office of the Inspector General of the Department of Education, or, if more
appropriate, to a state or local law enforcement agency having jurisdiction
to investigate the matter. Fraud may exist if the institution has reason to
suspect:

false claims of independent student status;

false claims of citizenship or eligible noncitizen status;

use of false identities

forgery of signatures or certifications;

false certification (e.g., drug-free workplace, educational, purpose);

false statements of income.

a pattern of mis-reported information from one year to the next.

unreported prior loans or grants, and receipt of concurrent full grants
during one award year.

FEDERAL FINANCIAL AID FUNDS

FEDERAL PELL GRANT. This grant is designated for first time undergrad-
uate students working toward a bachelor's degree. The amount of the grant
is determined by the cost of attendance, and the family contribution shown
on the Student Aid Report and the student's enrollment status. A full-time
student will receive the maximum Federal Pell Grant award based on
appropriation for the fiscal year. The maximum Federal Pell Grant award is
set at $3000 for the 1998-99 academic year. A student who enrolls as less
than a full-time student may be eligible to receive a prorated amount based
on their courseload.

FEDERAL SUPPLEMENTAL EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITY GRANT.

This grant is designated for students working on the first undergraduate
degree with exceptional financial need. Preference goes to students who
are eligible for Federal Pell Grant. Students who plan to participate in the
LaGrange College Studies Abroad Program should check with the Office of
Student Financial Planning to determine if they might be eligible to receive
Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant funds to assist with
the cost of this program.

42 / Financial Planning

FEDERAL WORK STUDY PROGRAM. Students who demonstrate finan-
cial need and are otherwise eligible may work part time to earn money to
help pay their education expenses while attending college. Students are
paid the minimum wage and normally are limited to working a maximum
of 15 hours per week. Jobs are available in the various administrative
offices, academic divisions, and community service agencies.

FEDERAL PERKINS LOAN. These loans are available to qualified stu-
dents who demonstrate financial need. Repayment of five percent (5%)
interest and principal begins six (6) to nine (9) months after a student grad-
uates or otherwise ceases to be classified as having half-time student status.
This loan program has cancellation provisions. Contact the Office of
Student Financial Planning for additional information.

FEDERAL STAFFORD LOAN. This program enables all eligible students
to borrow regardless of income. The Stafford Loan program is comprised of
two loans the subsidized Stafford and the unsubsidized Stafford. The
subsidized Stafford eligibility is based on financial need, and interest
accrued while the student is enrolled at least half-time is paid by the fed-
eral government. The interest rate on subsidized and unsubsidized Stafford
loans is a variable rate capped at 8.25 percent. Eligible lenders are banks,
credit unions, or savings and loans.

The unsubsidized Stafford is available to students who do not qualify, in
whole or part, for the subsidized Federal Stafford. The terms of an unsubsi-
dized Stafford are the same as those of the subsidized Staffords with the
exception of interest payments. Unsubsidized Stafford borrowers must pay
all of the interest accruing during the time they are enrolled in-school, and
during grace periods before repayment and authorized deferments. The
borrower, however, has the option to pay interest during those periods by
(1 ) making monthly or quarterly payments to the lender or (2) the borrower
and lender may agree to add the interest to the principal of the loan (this is
capitalization).

Annual maximum awards from the Federal Stafford Loan program is
based upon the borrower's year in school. Freshmen may borrow $2625;
sophomores, $3500; juniors and seniors, $5500. The aggregate limit for an
undergraduate degree is $23,000. The grace period for Federal Stafford is
six (6) months.

Undergraduate students who are considered independent by federal
need analysis criteria may borrow additional funds from the unsubsidized
Federal Stafford Loan. Independent undergraduate students who have not
completed the first two years of their program of study are eligible to
receive an additional $4000 from the unsubsidized Stafford program.
Independent undergraduates who have completed two years of their pro-
gram may borrow an additional $5000 from the unsubsidized Stafford loan
program. As with all loan programs, the amount borrowed cannot exceed
the student's cost of attendance.

Financial Planning / 43

FEDERAL PARENT LOAN FOR UNDERGRADUATE STUDENT (PLUS).

This loan program enables parents to borrow on behalf of their undergradu-
ate dependent children. Federal PLUS loan borrowers must be credit worthy.
A Federal PLUS may not exceed a student's estimated cost of attendance
less any financial assistance the student has been or will be awarded dur-
ing the period of enrollment. Loan checks are made co-payable and mailed
directly to the school for recertification of the student's eligibility, then
mailed to the parent for endorsement. The interest rate on the Federal
PLUS is variable rate capped at 9 percent.

LOAN REPAYMENT

Student loans are serious obligations. Student loans are
financial assistance that must be repaid at some speci
future. There is no penalty for pre-payment on any
Education Loan Program or Perkins Loan during the grace
a 10 year maximum repayment schedule.

RESIDENCE GOVERNMENT/ACTIVITIES

Each housing unit has a hall council which functions as a governing
body and also as a coordinating committee to plan activities within the res-
idence halls such as open houses, movie nights, decorating contests and
other special events.

Student Government Activities

The Student Government Association exists to serve as a medium for
student expressions, to coordinate campus activities, to promote good citi-
zenship and to govern within the parameters granted by the President of
the College. The SGA is an important part of student life. Upon acceptance
into the College, a student automatically becomes a member of the associ-
ation. All students are encouraged to become active members, so that the
association is a truly representative body of student thought and opinion,
voicing the needs and concerns of the student body.

The SGA is charged with responsibility of planning and presenting stu-
dent programs. They sponsor concerts, dances, movies, and many other
special events.

Athletic Program

LaCrange College athletic teams are known as The Panthers. College
colors are red and black. Intercollegiate teams compete in women's soccer,
volleyball, softball, swimming and tennis and men's baseball, basketball, golf,
soccer, swimming and tennis. It is the philosophy of LaCrange College that
the team participants are attending college primarily for a quality educa-
tion, and no athletic scholarships are offered. The student athlete receives
praise and recognition from peers, faculty, and administration. The coaching
staff is an assemblage of highly qualified teachers who stress the educational
process of the College.

LaCrange College is committed to a full program of non-scholarship ath-
letics that encourages the student-athlete to reap the benefits of education-
ally sound activity that not only encourages but actively promotes a strong
academic regime. Students are given the opportunity to participate fully in
their given sport and to interface with other teams locally, statewide, and
regionally. Not only are their physical skills enhanced but their human rela-
tions skills are broadened and focused by competitive challenges of the
body and mind.

Student Life/ 5^

The athletic program Is currently affiliated with the National Association
of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) and has provisional membership in the
National Collegiate Athletic Association, Division III. This dual affiliation
permits LaCrange College and its student athletes to receive recognition for
their participation in state, regional and national sporting events.

Campus Recreation and Intramural Sports (CRIS)

The Campus Recreation and Intramural Sports program provides oppor-
tunities for wholesome recreation and competition among members of the
campus community. Teams representing campus organizations and inde-
pendents compete in organized tournaments and events throughout the
year. Competitive events include flag football, volleyball, basketball (regu-
lation, 3 on 3, H*0*R*S*E), domino's dash, softball, badminton, tennis, water
volleyball and pickle ball. Winners of the campus tournaments in some of
these events are eligible to represent LaCrange College in state or regional
tournaments. Special awards are presented to the men's and women's
groups with the highest participation rates and best record for the entire
year. In addition, male and female "Athletes of the Year" are selected.

Many opportunities are available for recreational use of the facilities in
the LaCrange College Aquatics Complex. The following are available:
enjoying recreational swimming and lap swimming all year round in the
indoor pool; using the aquarius water work-out stations or taking a water
aerobics or aqua exercise class (non-credit); perfecting diving technique on
the one-meter and three-meter diving boards; or simply relaxing and enjoy-
ing the atmosphere of the outdoor leisure pool.

The facilities and equipment of the Physical Education Department also
are available for student recreational use when these are not scheduled for
instructional, athletic, or intramural sports use. The use of outdoor equip-
ment (canoes, sailboats, backpacks, tents, stoves, lanterns) requires the
payment of a small deposit which is refunded upon the safe return of the
equipment. The fitness center, gymnasium, and pools are available for stu-
dent/faculty/staff use during posted hours. A valid LaCrange College ID is
necessary for admittance to all facilities.

Religious Life Program

College is a time of exciting intellectual and social growth. Students
wrestle with new ideas, discover new interests, and explore ever broaden-
ing horizons. College can also be a time for real spiritual growth. Set in the
transition between youth and adulthood, college offers students a chance
to examine their faith, to assess what is important to them and to forge a
system of values that will sustain them through their adult years.

Growing out of its history of service and its affiliation with the United
Methodist Church, LaCrange is committed to creating an environment that

52 / Student Life

encourages spiritual growth and development. As a result, the College
offers a number of opportunities for students and faculty to celebrate life
and explore God's intention for human living. Included in these opportuni-
ties are occasions for worship, fellowship, and service. Chapel services are
scheduled every Thursday at 1 2:05 p.m., and there are special worship ser-
vices throughout the year. The College employs a full-time chaplain who is
available for counseling and is interested in promoting service and fellow-
ship among the constituents of the campus community.

Programs, Exhibitions and Forum Lectures

A balanced and comprehensive program of lectures, music perform-
ances, dramatic presentations, workshops and other activities contribute to
student enrichment. Wednesdays from 11:00 a.m. until 12:20 p.m. are
reserved for programs, exhibitions and forum lectures.

Student Conduct

LaGrange College, as a church-related college, is committed to an hon-
orable and seemly standard of conduct. As an educational institution the
college is concerned not only with the formal in-class education of its stu-
dents, but also with their welfare and their growth into mature men and
women who conduct themselves responsibly as citizens.

Student Life/ 53

Regulations of the college are formulated to meet changing student needs
within the framework of college policy. These regulations become effective
when the student enrolls. Some regulations may not be agreeable to every-
one because they have been formulated to meet the needs of the entire
group. This however, does not lessen the individual's obligation to uphold
them. Regulations do not have as their primary purpose the punishment of
the individual. The regulations are formulated to insure the right of all com-
munity members to have the best possible living and learning conditions.

The college reserves the right to dismiss at any time a student who, in its
judgment, is undesirable and whose continuation in the school is detri-
mental to himself or his fellow students.

Furthermore, students are subject to federal, state and local laws as well
as college rules and regulations.

A student is not entitled to greater immunities before the law than those
enjoyed by other citizens generally. Students are subject to such discipli-
nary action as the administration of the college may consider appropriate,
including possible suspension and expulsion for breach of federal, state or
local laws, or college regulations. This principle extends to conduct off-
campus which is likely to have adverse effect on the college or on the edu-
cational process or which stamps the offender as an unfit associate for the
other students. A complete description of student conduct policies, rules
and regulations can be found in Hilltopics, the student handbook.

Sexual Harassment Policy

All members of the College community have the right to be free from
sex discrimination in the form of sexual harassment. Sexual harassment
may take two forms: (1 ) creating a hostile environment, and (2) quid pro quo .

A hostile, demeaning, or intimidating environment created by sexual
harassment interferes with an individual's full and free participation in the
life of the College.

Sexual harassment quid pro quo occurs when a position of authority is
used to threaten to impose a penalty or to withhold a benefit in return for
sexual favors, whether or not the attempt is successful. Sexual harassment
may involve behavior by a person of either gender against a person of the
same or opposite gender. It should be noted that the potential of sexual
harassment exists in any of the following relationships: student/student, fac-
ulty/student, student/faculty, and faculty/faculty. Here and subsequently
"faculty" refers to faculty, staff, and administration. Because of the inherent
differential in power between faculty and students, sexual relationships
between faculty and students are prohibited.

Sexual harassment may result from many kinds of behavior. These
behaviors may range from the most egregious forms, such as sexual assault,
to more subtle forms. Explicit behaviors include but are not limited to requests
for sexual favors, physical assaults of a sexual nature, sexually offensive

S4 / Student Lite

remarks, and rubbing, touching or brushing against another's body. More
subtle behaviors may be experienced as intimidating or offensive, particu-
larly when they recur or one person has authority over another. Such
behaviors may include but are not limited to unwelcome hugs or touching,
inappropriate staring, veiled suggestions of sexual activity, requests for
meetings in non-academic settings, and risque jokes, stories, or images.

Accusations of sexual harassment which are made without good cause
shall not be condoned. Such accusations are indeed grievous and can have
damaging and far-reaching effects upon the careers and lives of individuals.

Any member of the College community having a complaint of sexual
harassment may raise the matter informally and/or file a formal complaint.
The informal process is an attempt to mediate between the parties in order
to effect a mutually agreeable solution without entering into the formal
hearing process.

Informal Procedures

The following informal procedures may be followed:

Clearly say "no" to the person whose behavior is unwelcome.

Communicate either orally or in writing with the person whose behavior is
unwelcome. The most effective communication will have three elements:

A factual description of the incident(s) including the time, place, date,

and specific behavior.

A description of the complainant's feelings, including any consequences

of the incident

A request that the conduct cease

Speak with a department chair, dean, director, counselor, or chaplain
who may speak to the person whose behavior is unwelcome. The name
of the complainant need not be disclosed. The purpose of such conver-
sation is the cessation of the unwelcome behavior.

In the case of harassment of a student, it may be appropriate first to seek
the advice of his or her advisor.

Formal Procedures

To initiate a formal grievance procedure the complainant shall submit a
written statement to the chair of the Review Subcommittee of the Aca-
demic Standards Committee who shall report the complaint to the President
of the College. The President, after such consultation as is deemed appro-
priate, will request the names of several persons from each party to the dis-
pute, and the President shall choose one person's name from each list to be
added to the three-person Review Committee. Member of the Committee
will then meet to discuss the complaint. Unless the Committee concludes
that the complaint is without merit, the parties to the dispute will be invited
to appear before the Committee and to confront any adverse witnesses.

Student Life/ 55

The Committee may conduct its own inquiry, call witnesses, and gather
whatever information it deems necessary to assist in reaching a determina-
tion as to the merits of the accusation. Once a determination has been
reached, the Committee shall report its findings to the President of the College.
Possible outcomes of the investigation are (1) that the allegation is not
warranted and cannot be substantiated, (2) a negotiated settlement of the
complaint, or (3) that the allegation is substantiated requiring a recommen-
dation to the President that disciplinary action be taken.

Student Health Services

All students must have proof of medical insurance. For those not having
coverage through individual or group plans, LaCrange College makes
available accident and sickness coverage through a private carrier at rea-
sonable rates. Application forms are available at registration or through the
Business Office.

For a description of health services available to LaCrange College stu-
dents, refer to the Hilltopics student handbook.

Career Planning and Placement Center

The Career Planning and Placement Center is located in the Callaway
Student Center. It contains up-to-date career related materials, occupational
information, and computer-assisted guidance programs to help students dis-
cover their occupational skills, interests, and values. Services include semi-
nars/workshops and career counseling on the employment process, resume
preparation, effective interviewing techniques, and letter-writing skills.

The Career Planning Office strives to assist students with developing good
decision-making skills and with choosing appropriate paths that will enable
them to achieve their goals. Beginning in the Freshman year students are
encouraged and supported to become more knowledgeable about the work
world through research, information interviewing, internships, part-time
employment, volunteer work, summer jobs, and class projects. A strong lib-
eral arts education combined with career related experience and personal
initiative are a winning combination for the transition to the world of work.

Counseling and Testing

An important part of the philosophy of LaCrange College is that each stu-
dent should have advice and counseling throughout his/her academic
career; therefore, counseling is available to LaCrange College students in a
variety of areas. The goal is to assist students in gaining an understanding of
themselves so they are better able to make informed personal, academic
and vocational choices. In addition to individual counseling, group pro-
grams are available on topics such as Study Skills, Test Anxiety Reduction,
Career Planning, Time Management, etc. Small group counseling is available

56 / Student Life

in areas of personal concern such as dealing with interpersonal communi-
cation, conflict resolution, parental divorce, eating disorders, assertiveness
training, etc. The staff also administers personal inventories such as the
Myers-Briggs Type Inventory and the Strong-Campbell Inventory.

The Counseling Center holds leadership training sessions v\/hich include
topics dealing v^ith leadership styles, communication, group dynamics,
goal setting and issue exploration.

The College will assign freshmen to a faculty adviser who will assist with
the design of a program of study as well as any other problems which may
occur. This special program, known as College 101, is staffed by identified
faculty members who coordinate the programs of the freshman experience.

The Office of Student Development also administers the Scholastic
Aptitude Test (SAT), and the College Level Examination Program, as part of
the College's Advanced Placement Program. The Office of Student Develop-
ment also administers the Miller Analogies Test (MAT), and the Graduate
Record Examination (GRE).

Vehicle Registration

To insure efficient control of traffic and parking on campus and the
safety of all persons and vehicles, every vehicle must be registered and
must have an affixed current decal. These decals are issued to students,
along with a copy of existing parking regulations. There is a fee. Failure to
adhere to published policies may result in vehicles being towed.

Student Appeal of Decisions

Recognizing that decisions must be made and that some students may
feel aggrieved by some decisions, LaGrange College provides the following
procedures:

A student must first attempt to resolve an issue with the college staff
member first rendering a decision. If this does not resolve the issue, a deci-
sion rendered by a college staff member may be appealed by a student as
follows:

I. Student Life:

(a) A disciplinary decision rendered by a duly constituted student
judicial board may be appealed to the Dean of Students. Disci-
plinary decisions rendered originally by the Dean of Students
may be appealed in writing to the Vice President and Dean for
Student Life and Retention who shall seek, in an informal confer-
ence, to settle the grievance to the satisfaction of the two parties
involved. If no resolution can be found, the Vice President will
deliver the appeal to the Student Affairs Committee of the faculty
for its determination.

Student Life/ 57

(b) Other grievances in the area of student life may be appealed to
the Dean of Students. If the grievance involves an original decision
rendered by the Dean of Students, the decision may be appealed
as above.

II. Financial Aid. See the Financial Planning Section.

III. Academic Matters. See the Academic Regulations and Procedures
Section.

Information Technology and
Academic Support Services

In order to promote and support the administrative, academic and
research interests and responsibilities of students, faculty and staff, substan-
tial information technology is provided at LaGrange College. This technol-
ogy consists of a netv^/orked system of workstations and services designed
to encourage and improve the computer literacy of the user environment.
Contributing to the personal and professional growth of all members of the
College community, this technology is assessed in all areas of the LaGrange
College campus.

William & Evelyn Banks Library

William and Banks Library supplies its patrons with information access on
the main floor, through nine Pentium computers on the Public Access Desk.
Patrons can access the Online Catalog system, the GALILEO project. World
Wide Web searching, and the CD-ROM network. The library catalog can
also be accessed through four dumb terminals on other floors. The library has
a Multimedia Lab that serves as a Bibliographic Instruction Classroom that is
open to Faculty and students for multimedia and word processing purposes
when not in use. This lab has eight multimedia Pentium machines, a scanner,
overhead monitors for instruction, a laser printer and a color Inkjet printer.
This lab will be expanded as need and funding permit.

Writing Center

The LaGrange College Writing Center is a place where writers of all lev-
els and abilities can talk with other writers about their work. Open morn-
ing, afternoon, and until 9:00 p.m. during week nights, it is available to
anyone who wishes to engage in constructive talk about writing. The
Center operates on the assumption that all are learners as well as teachers
and that learning is, to some extent, a social process; communication,
therefore, is the basis for all the Center's efforts.

The Writing Center is designed to provide a service to students who
would like individualized help with their writing. It is manned by a director
(a faculty member from the Department of English) and a staff of under-
graduates who have proven to be especially proficient in their writing
skills. Students can drop in or make appointments for individual writing
conferences to discuss topics, brainstorm with another writer, or work on
final drafts.

60 / Information Technology and Academic Support Serxnces

To Stress the importance of writing across the curriculum, The Writing
Center has also developed satellite writing programs in a variety of courses,
including economics, psychology, biology, and history. Students in these
classes are given opportunity to work with tutors on course writing pro-
jects. The Center utilizes a variety of technological resources, including
Pentium 1 33 PC's, computer workstations, and printers. The Writing Center
attempts to make the writing process, in all its various facets, a rewarding
and enduring experience.

In addition to these campus-wide facilities, many departments and divi-
sions maintain technology resources to support their mission.

The Education multimedia technology labs have been specifically
designed for the education major. These labs support instruction and hand-
on use of technology in order to enable the pre-service teacher to integrate
the use of multimedia equipment into a classroom teaching situation. The
multimedia production lab is equipped w ith Power Macintosh audio/video
computers, a color scanner, a video camera, a digital camera, monitorsACR's
a LCD panel, printers and more. Laminating, binding and poster making
equipment is also available for use in this lab. Complimenting the multime-
dia lab is the software evaluation lab. This lab provides an environment
equipped with both IBM-compatible Pentiums and Macintosh Power PC's
where the most current commercial educational software can be evalu-
ated. Software can also be viewed in videodisc and CDI formats. School
teachers from surrounding county school systems often seek the resources
available in this lab for software evaluations.

Nursing education and practice are as driven by technology as are other
aspects of life and work todav. With computer-based interactive and tutor-
ial programs, students learn more independently, often at their own pace,
and can vicariously "practice" their profession. In addition, the Division of
Nursing resources permit learning and use of computer skills which sup-
port other skills and knowledge outside of (but needed for) nursing. These
skills include writing, reading, and the seeking of knowledge from the vast
array of possibilities found on the Internet. Technological resources found
in the Nursing Computer Lab include PC's (with Internet connectivity), a
flat bed scanner, a laptop PC equipped with an LCD panel, color printers
and more. Eight separate nursing educational software packages can also
be utilized in the lab.

Computer Science, located in Smith Hall, utilizes two separate com-
puter labs. One lab is made up of Pentium 1 33 PC's. The other lab consists
of workstations which provide access to everything from Pascal, FOR-
TRAN, SQL, BASIC, Oracle, COBOL and C+ programming to the Internet.
These labs provide computer science majors access to instruction and use
of the technology necessary to succeed in their chosen field in today's
technological world.

Psychology students have access to a computer lab in the Louise Manget
Building, consisting of campus network workstations and Macintosh computers.

Information Technology and Academic Support Services I 61

These resources are used tor laboratory and tutorial assignments in connec-
tion with psychology courses.

In an effort to meet the ever-changing technological needs of a liberal
arts education, the Department of Mathematics maintains a computer labo-
ratory containing Macintosh PC's. This lab, located in Science Room 102, is
used almost exclusively for classroom instruction. Software packages avail-
able include the Geometer's Sketchpad, currently used to supplement col-
lege geometry, the software Maple, which is used to enhance the calculus
sequence, and tutorial software for students enrolled in basic mathematics.

The research facilities of the Department of History and Political Science
programs are excellent. The computer laboratory is a new facility funded in
part by a National Science Foundation grant. Comprised of a LAN of
advanced Macintosh computers, the user enjoys full Internet and World
Wide Web access. The laboratory has available a variety of applications for
various educational, research, and writing tasks and an archive of informa-
tion on many topics, especially in political science.

The Department of Latin American Studies (includes modern languages)
provides staffing for a new multimedia laboratory in Manget Hall. This lab,
consisting of IBM-compatible Pentium 133 PC's and Macintosh PC's sup-
ports software which maximizes students' oral and aural proficiency in for-
eign languages. Recent grants have provided additional resources
including a laser disc player and Rosetta Stone interactive software.

English Language and Literature students enjoy a staffed new computer
laboratory located on the 4th floor of Manget Hall. This lab consists of IBM-
compatible Pentium 133 PC's, both dot matrix and laser printers, and cam-
pus network workstations.

Technology resources are integral to the graphic design concentration in
Art and Design at LaCrange College. All graphic design students are taught
fundamental computer techniques, page layout and illustration programs,
basic system information and the ethics regarding the use of digital infor-
mation. Advanced students learn digital imaging and system information, out-
put options and other advanced techniques. All students are encouraged to
develop a personal creative approach to using the computer as well as to
using thoughtful, intelligent design. Through encouragement to be not only
technical but creative, students accomplish the College's missions "to dis-
cover and value that which is excellent in life" and "to accept responsibil-
ity in contemporary society".

The Chemistry, General Science, and Physics programs share a resource
room which houses CAI/CAD (computer assisted instruction/computer
assisted drill) work stations that are connected to the campus network; a
multi-media work station, connected to the Internet; and an additional
work station, connected to the Internet. All classrooms and the physics lab-
oratory have network/Internet access. The Chemistry Instrumentation
Center includes computers which control most available instruments. This
center also contains a molecular modeling work station made available by

62 / Information Technology and Academic Support Services

a grant from the Georgia Pacific Corporation. The Physics Laboratory
includes computerized lab stations which include sensors for measurement
of various physical phenomena.

CAI/CAD is available for General Science 101 and 102. For General
Science 101 a computer is used as a data source for certain laboratory
experiences.

Chemistry 103, General Chemistry III, is a computer-based course focus-
ing on spread sheet chemistry. Chemistry 312, instrumental Analysis, requires
extensive use of computers for data analysis. The Chemistry 361 , 362, 363,
sequence. Physical Chemistry I, II, and III, involves use of MathCad software
for homework exercises and testing.

Policy for the Responsible
Use of Information Technology

The purpose of this policy is to ensure a computing environment that will
support the academic, research, and service mission of LaGrange College.
Simply stated, continued and efficient accessibility of campus computing
and network facilities depends on the responsible behavior of the entire
user community. The College seeks to provide students, faculty, and staff with
the greatest possible access to campus computing resources within the limits
of institutional priorities and financial capabilities and consistent with gen-
erally accepted principles of ethics that govern the College community. To
that end, this policy addresses the many issues involved in responsible use of
the College's information technology, including systems, software, and data.

Each authorized user of information technology assumes responsibility
for his or her own behavior while utilizing these resources. Users of infor-
mation technology at LaGrange College accept that the same moral and
ethical behavior that guides our non-computing environments guides our
computing and networking environment. Any infraction of this policy may
result minimally in loss of computer and network access privileges, or may
result in criminal prosecution.

ing College computer resources.

Student Computer Configurations

Access to the World Wide Web is available in dormitory rooms for stu-
dents who bring personal computers (meeting the minimum specifications
of LaCrange College's information Systems' specifications) to campus. After the
student pays a one-time hook-up fee, Information Systems personnel will

64 / Information Technology and Academic Support Services

install an ethernet card and configure the student's PC with a web browser,
a Telnet tool, and an FTP (File Transfer Protocol) tool. Information Systems will
support these three Internet capabilities. To avoid instability to the entire
campus network, students must not change these network configurations.

Data Security

Within institutional priorities and financial capabilities, LaGrange College
provides reasonable security against unauthorized intrusion and damage to
data, files and messages stored on its computer systems. The College main-
tains facilities for archiving and retrieving data stored in user accounts. If a
user needs to recover data after an accidental loss. Information Systems staff
should be contacted and every reasonable attempt will be made to recover
the lost or corrupted data. Neither the College nor any Information Systems
staff can be held accountable for unauthorized access by other users, nor
can they guarantee data protection in the event of media failure, fire, crimi-
nal acts or natural disaster. i|

Academic Programs and
Degree Requirements

INTRODUCTION

Faculty members and the staff of LaGrange College implement aca-
demic and nonacademic programs toward the fulfillment of the mission of
the college. Undergirding all of the academic programs at LaGrange is the
fundamental commitment to the liberal arts. Therefore, LaGrange College
is first and foremost a liberal arts college. The underlying philosophy of lib-
eral learning is found in all parts of the curriculum of the College but is most
obvious in the structure of the General Education Curriculum, that part of
the curriculum that serves as foundation and complement to the major. All
baccalaureate majors share the same general education curriculum. That
general education curriculum represents just under fifty percent of a stu-
dent's formal study at the College.

The curriculum is designed to provide the components of a liberal arts
education that historically have proved to be of lasting value. Those com-
ponents include skills such as strategies for college success, writing, com-
putation, speaking, problem-solving, computer utilization, and analytical
thinking. Additionally, there are knowledge components including history,
social studies, science, literature, religious heritage, modern foreign lan-
guages, and health.

These skills and knowledge areas, while being taught and learned in
specific courses, are integrated into the total college experience, and the
desired result is that students will be better able to function within social
institutions, to use science and technology, and to use and understand the
role of the arts in culture. They, likewise, will be better able to communi-
cate, to solve problems, and to analyze and clarify their own value system.

THE MAJORS

A major is defined as a primary program of study in which the student
completes a designated number and sequence of courses within a specific
discipline, department or subject area. A major may or may not offer con-
centrations for focused coursework within the major.

A student may choose to pursue one of four baccalaureate degrees: the bach-
elor of arts, the bachelor of science, the bachelor of business administra-
tion, or bachelor of science in nursing. Most students pursue one of these
baccalaureate degrees. In addition to the baccalaureate degree programs,
students may earn an associate of arts degree or a master's degree, a post-bac-
calaureate degree.

66 / Academic Programs and Degree Requirements

The associate degree and the baccalaureate degree each contain a sub-
stantial general education component and extensive specified course work
in the discipline in which the student has chosen a major. The degrees
offered and the majors available for the degrees are given.

All majors offered are described in detail in the Departments and Courses
section.

Major Requirements, Time Restrictions

Coursework requirements in major programs necessarily change in
response to evolving curriculum concerns and changing student needs.
Students' major requirements are governed by the Bulletin in force at the
time of the declaration of the major. The declaration of major is initiated in
the registrar's office.

At the discretion of the department chair, students may be required to
demonstrate proficiency and/or currency in the subject matter if the major
coursework is older than five (5) academic years. Normally credit hours
earned in the major may not be applied to the completion of the major, if
the hours earned are older than eight years dated from the student's initial
matriculation.

Students who have been out of school longer than two years must again
declare their majors.

68 / Academic Programs and Degree Requirements

Independent Study in the Major

In certain majors, independent study courses are offered. These courses are
limited to upperclass major and minor students who have completed at least
two-thirds of their particular major or minor program, and who wish to pursue
a special problem or course of reading beyond that taken up in any formal
course and lying within the capabilities of the library and laboratories. In
order to be eligible for independent study, the student must have at least a 3.0
average in major courses. Total credit which can be earned through indepen-
dent study normally will not be more than 10 quarter hours. Written permis-
sion to enroll in such a course must be obtained from the instructor, the chair
of the department concerned, and the Vice President for Academic Affairs and
Dean. These courses carry the numbers 495 and 496. A descriptive syllabus
including the method of evaluation must be submitted with the petition.

Assessment in the Major

The faculty members who are responsible for instruction in the major
programs have identified specific objectives for a major in that discipline.
There is an assessment, devised by the faculty in the discipline, that deter-
mines the extent to which the objectives have been met by the student.
That assessment is a requirement for students who graduated in June 1990,
or who will graduate thereafter. The assessment styles are varied. Students
should carefully explore with their adviser in their intended major the
nature of the assessment. A satisfactory assessment in the major is a require-
ment for the degree. The chair of the department offering the major must
certify satisfactory completion of the assessment component.

Students who fail to complete satisfactorily the assessment in the major
and exhaust reassessment opportunities at the departmental level may
appeal the decision of the department as described in the Academic Pro-
cedures and Regulations section.

Advice and Counseling in the Major

All students are assigned an academic adviser. Prior to the declaration of
a major a student is advised by his or her Freshman Seminar (COL 101)
instructor. Subsequent to declaring a major, the student and the department
chair work together in planning a program. The ultimate responsibility for
selecting the proper courses in order to complete the desired degree is the
responsibility of the student.

GENERAL EDUCATION CURRICULUM

The goals and objectives for general education have been described.
The curriculum is designed to be completed within three academic years
with coursework from the major being merged with the general education
during the sophomore and junior years.

Academic Programs and Degree Requirements I 69

Ninety-five quarter hours in the general education curriculum are taken in

^Occasionally, if taught under the LAN label, other languages (Japanese, German, Hebrew, etc.) may also
count as general education. German 101, 102 will be offered academic year 1998-99.

Placement

Appropriate placement in certain courses is essential.

During the first few days on campus all students will undergo diagnostic
assessment. These inventories are necessary for (1) planning for majors and
careers, (2) providing the comparison levels for subsequent general educa-
tion assessment, and (3) determining current skill levels for placement pur-
poses. Placement in mathematics and English is based on skills assessment.
Students who are not predicted to be successful in either Mathematics 1 01 ,
105, or 122 are required to enroll in Mathematics 100. This is a pre-general
education mathematics course, and credit in this course does not count
toward the fulfillment of the 95 quarter hours of general education.

English placement is based on scores obtained on the sub-test, SAT II:
Writing, of the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT). The sub-test is given early in the
orientation period. Students who score 37 or below are required to enroll in
English 100, a pre-general education course in grammar and composition.
Students who score between 38 and 43 are placed in either ENC 100 or
ENG 1 01 based on a consideration of a written sample of work submitted by
the student during the specified diagnostic assessment time scheduled for
English. Like Mathematics 100, English 100 does not count toward the ful-
fillment of any of the 95 hours in general education.

Students entering LaGrange College bringing with them two (2) years of
high school foreign language will be placed in an Intermediate level course
of that language; or if the student chooses, he or she may start the study of
another language at the beginning level. Any student for whom English is not
the native language may have the language requirement waived by submit-
ting a written request to the Registrar from the student's advisor, the Director
of International Student Services, or the Chair of the Humanities Division.
The waiving of the language requirement does not diminish the need to com-
plete a total of 95 quarter hours in general education.

Academic Programs and Degree Requirements/ 71

General Education, Time Restrictions

There is no time limit on the credit or validity of general education
coursework. It should be noted, however, that students who have not been
enrolled at LaGrange College for four years, or who transferred from
LaGrange College and subsequently return, enter the college under the
Bulletin in force at the time of re-entry.

Credit-by-Examination and Exemption

Students may be eligible for credit and/or exemption in certain areas
through Advanced Placement (AP) Tests or the College Level Examination
Program (CLEP) and other recognized testing procedures. To determine the
test scores that qualify for college credit and/or exemption, students should
contact the Registrar. This information is also available in the individual
departmental sections of this Bulletin. Credit by examination (AP or CLEP)
may reduce the 95 hour general education component by the credit hours
earned by this process. If no credit is earned, but exemption is granted,
then 95 quarter hours of general education are to be completed.

Assessment of General Education

When a student has 140 hours of credit, (s)he should take American
College Testing Program's College Outcome Measures Program (COMP).
This inventory will be used to determine the extent to which a student has
achieved the objectives of the general education curriculum. Meaningful
participation in this testing program is a requirement for graduation with a
baccalaureate degree.

Non-traditional Students and the General Education Requirements

The non-traditional student must meet two of the following criteria:

(1 ) at least twenty-four years old

(2) legally married and/or have legal dependents

(3) non-dorm resident

These students may have experiences and needs differing from tradi-
tional students which may allow them to develop a curriculum plan of
their own to meet the general education requirements.

The common core portion (40 quarter hours) of the general education
requirements is the same for these students as it is for traditional students.

Special Institutes/Continuing Education

LaCrange College coordinates and initiates special institutes and contin-
uing education activities. These activities include work with area and state
churches, industries, health care facilities and businesses. For certain of
these activities the College gives continuing education units (C.E.U.).

Academic Regulations
and Procedures

Orientation and Counseling

All new students are introduced to LaGrange College through an orien-
tation program which takes place at the beginning of each quarter. The ori-
entation program is designed to acquaint the new students with various
phases of the life of the College including traditions, procedures, and regu-
lations. It is believed that all students will profit from a proper introduction
to the opportunities and responsibilities of college life.

Freshman Seminar (COL 101) deals with the elements of learning and
decision making not covered in the traditional curricular structure. These
elements are essential to the student's educational process. These include
selecting courses, acquiring study skills, making long-term educational
plans, placing course work in a broader context of student development,
dealing with personal difficulties, and adjusting to the inadequacies in pre-
college preparation. To help students at LaGrange College face these issues
in an organized way, Freshman Seminar is taught. This two-hour course pro-
vides an opportunity for freshman to work with faculty and other students in
the consideration of issues designed to assist them in making decisions and
in dealing with the many interrelated problems that have a bearing on their
academic career.

Registration

All students must register on the dates specified. Failure to register on
the proper dates may subject the student to a $20 late-registration fee. All
registration procedures for all quarters are under the direction of the Vice
President for Academic Affairs and Dean. Students have not completed reg-
istration until they have cleared the Registrar, Office of Student Life and the
Business Office. Students enrolled for twelve or more hours must obtain a
campus post office box. Communications to the student will be through
campus mail.

Each student is assigned to a faculty adviser, who assists the student in
planning an academic program. However, the ultimate responsibility for
meeting all requirements rests with the individual student.

A student interested in a particular major should inform his/her general
adviser in order that special prerequisite courses for the major may be
scheduled. A major may be formally declared anytime after the student has
earned 22 hours of credit. The student must declare hisAier major in writing

76 / Academic Regulations and Procedures

to the Registrar by the time the student has earned 75 quarter hours of credit.
The student will then be assigned to an adviser in the department in which
the student will major. A student planning to pursue a program in Teacher
Education must tal<e an application in writing to the chair of the Depart-
ment of Education at least by the time he/she declares a major.

A student's major program requirements are those described in the col-
lege Bulletin at the time of declaration of the major.

Withdrawal

To withdraw from an individual course, a student must confer in the office
of the Registrar. Failure of a student to withdraw officially through this office
may result in the assignment of a "WF." A student who wishes to withdraw
completely from the college must confer with the Director of Counseling.
Withdrawals are not permitted the last week of class.

Academic Standing 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 proba-
tion is to warn. It is not a penalty. Students on probation will be notified,
and the regulations governing probation will be called to their attention.

Freshmen (fewer than 45 hours) must maintain a cumulative grade point
average (GPA) of at least 1.65 to avoid being placed on probation.
Sophomores (45-89 hours), a 1.75 GPA; Juniors (90-134 hours), a 1.85
GPA; and Seniors (135 or more hours), a 2.00 GPA. In most cases, students
have three quarters to remove their probationary status. Failure to do so
could result in suspension.

Students are also subject to suspension for failure to earn at least five
quarter hours of academic credit in any quarter, or for other valid aca-
demic reasons (such as violating cheating and plagiarism standards). In the
case of part-time students, the extent of application of these regulations
will be at the discretion of the Vice President for Academic Affairs and
Dean. Normally, all applications of the regulations will be based upon a
full academic load.

The grade report sent to the student provides information on standing. "Pro-
bation one" means that the student's next term will be the first term on proba-
tion, etc. "Dean's Decision" means that the student's academic records have
been given to the Vice President for Academic Affairs and Dean for action.

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 the instructor for any absence. An instructor may recommend that the
Vice President for Academic Affairs and Dean drop from class, with a grade

Academic Regulations and Procedures I 77

of "W" or "WF", any student whose absences are interfering with satisfac-
tory performance in the course.

Course Repetition

A student is prohibited from repeating a course in which he has made
a "C" or better (while enrolled at LaGrange College or any institution) without
the approval of the Vice President for Academic Affairs and Dean, and the
Academic Advisory Council. A student may not remove an unsatisfactory grade
earned at LaGrange College by repeating the course at LaGrange College or
another institution.

Acceleration

Students desiring to accelerate their college program may complete
requirements in less than four academic years. This may be accomplished
by attending summer schools and/or taking an academic overload.
Permission to take an overload in any quarter is granted only to those stu-
dents who have earned at least a cumulative average of "B" (3.0), except
that a student may take an overload during one quarter of his senior year
without respect to grade-point average.

Students may be eligible for credit and/or exemption in certain areas
through the College Level Examination Program (CLEP) and other recog-
nized testing procedures. Advanced placement credit is accepted for those
students who present evidence from their high schools that advanced
placement programs have been completed and appropriate scores earned
on the advanced placement test of the College Entrance Examination Board
administered by Educational Testing Service. The registrar and department
chairs keep up-to-date standards for AP credit.

Academic Honors

Upon graduation, students who have been in residence at LaGrange
College for at least their last 90 hours and

1 . have attained a quality point average of 3.50 to 3.74 may be granted
the bachelor degree cum laude or

2. have attained a quality point average of 3.75 to 3.89 may be granted
the bachelor degree magna cum laude or

3. have attained a quality point average of 3.90 to 4.0 may be granted
the bachelor degree summa cum laude.

At the end of each academic quarter, students who have maintained a
3.60 cumulative grade point average on a minimum of 12 GPA hours of
work will be placed on the Dean's List.

Academic honors at graduation are awarded only to students complet-
ing the four-year program.

78 / Academic Regulations and Procedures

International Students

Students who are on a student visa in the United States are subject to
special regulations. As the institution which issues documents certifying stu-
dent status, LaGrange College is subject to regulations or guidelines. Guide-
lines change, students should contact the Vice President for Academic Affairs
and Dean or the Registrar for interpretation of such changes. The current
interpretation is that students with student visas must be enrolled for a full
academic load (at least 12 quarter hours) at all times. Federal regulations
concerning "status" for all international students on an F-1 visa states that
any student who falls below 1 2 quarter hours at any time will be considered
out-of-status and must be reinstated by Immigration and Naturalization
Services (INS).

English proficiency is fundamental to a successful academic course at
LaGrange College. Therefore, in addition to the minimum TOEFL score
required for admission, the College requires all students for whom English
is a second language to enroll in and satisfactorily complete a two-quarter
sequence, ENG 010, Oil. Further, if it is apparent that a student's English
continues to jeopardize a successful academic career, the Vice President for
Academic Affairs and Dean may require that a student attend a special,
intensive English language course. If such a requirement is placed on a stu-
dent, failure to attend the English language course can result in withdrawal
of the student visa.

International students must enroll in an English course each quarter
they are in school until they satisfactorily complete their English studies.

International Studies

The importance of increasing international understanding is obvious.
LaGrange College seeks to enroll an internationally diverse student body.
LaGrange College serves as a host or home base institution for short-term
international visitors. LaGrange College has cooperative agreements with
Nippon Bunri in Oita City, japan, and Instituto Laurens in Monterrey, Mexico.
LaGrange College offers limited course work in Monterrey, using LaGrange
College faculty members as instructors. Full financial aid is available for
study in Monterrey.

There are other international studies opportunities. Delta Airlines spon-
sors one junior student for study in a country that is served by Delta
Airlines.

Credit through United States Armed Forces J

Institute and Service Schools 1

Courses taken through The United States Armed Forces Institute and
other recognized military educational programs are accepted in accordance

Academic Regulations and Procedures I 79

with the policy governing transfer work when presented on official tran-
scripts from accredited institutions. Fifteen quarter hours of elective credit
will be allowed for military service credit, including USAFI correspon-
dence courses and military service school courses as recommended by the
American Council on Education. One activity course in physical educa-
tion, up to a maximum of four, will be awarded for each two months served
in the Armed Forces; a corresponding reduction will be made in the total
number of hours required for the degree.

Grades and Credits

The definitions of grades given at LaCrange 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 satis-
factory work but for some reason beyond the student's control has
been unable to complete the work during that quarter. This defer-
ment must be given written approval in advance by the instructor
and the Vice President for Academic Affairs and Dean.
NC no credit or non-credit

W withdrawn. During the first three weeks a student may withdraw

from a class with an "automatic" "W." After this trial period the

student may withdraw, but the grade assigned, "W" or "WF," will

be at the discretion of the professor.

WF withdrawn failing. The grade of "WF" is included in computing the

grade-point average.
AW audit withdrawn
AU audit complete
NR grade not reported by instructor at the time the report issued.

A student may register for a course on a non-credit basis, for which he
pays full tuition. To have a grade of "NC" recorded, 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 Vice
President for Academic Affairs and Dean. Only lecture courses may be
audited. No new freshman student may audit any course during the first
quarter of residence at LaCrange College.

An "\" is a temporary grade, assigned by an instructor within the last
three weeks of the term to students who are doing satisfactory work and
who cannot complete the course due to circumstances beyond their con-
trol. Should conditions prohibiting completion of a course arise within the
first eight weeks, students withdraw.

80 / Academic Regulations and Procedures

An "I" is removed by the date indicated in the academic calendar.
Failure to remove an "!" by the date set initiates the following action: The
registrar will write a letter to the student using the address on file. The letter
indicates that the student has two weeks to respond. Otherwise the "I"
grade will be converted to an "F".

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.
Transcripts are withheld for any student who is under financial obligation
to the College.

Academic Forgiveness

Academic forgiveness is a process which allows a student to have his/her
prior academic record adjusted if:

1 . four or more calendar years have elapsed since the period of last enroll-
ment at LaGrange College;

2. the student applying for forgiveness has successfully completed since
readmission to LaGrange College a minimum of 1 5 quarter hours and
has no course grade lower than "C" since the time of readmission.

The student may petition for forgiveness through the Academic Advisory
Council and, if approved, the College will:

1 . apply toward the student's common core, general education curriculum,
and electives requirements but not necessarily toward the student's
academic major or minor, all those courses in which the student earned
a grade of "C" or better;

2. set the student's cumulative grade point average to 0.0;

3. require the student to successfully complete a minimum of 45 quarter
hours after bankruptcy declaration in order to graduate; and

4. allow all graduation requirements (see LaGrange Bulletin) to remain the
same and apply equally, except that students who have petitioned for
and received academic forgiveness will not be eligible to receive
honors at graduation.

LaGrange College will maintain the student's complete record, includ-
ing those courses excluded from the GPA by the granting of forgiveness.
No course work will be expunged from the student's academic record. The
student's official transcript will clearly indicate that the student has been
granted academic forgiveness. Ordinarily, no transfer or transient credits
will be accepted after academic forgiveness.

A student may be granted academic forgiveness only once during his/her
academic career at LaGrange College.

Requirements for Bachelor Degrees A Summary

LaGrange College offers the Bachelor of Arts degree, the Bachelor of
Science degree, the Bachelor of Business Administration degree and the

Academic Regulations and Procedures / 81

Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree. To obtain a second bachelor's degree,
at least 60 additional quarter hours must be earned beyond the first degree,
in a minimum of three quarters. Baccalaureate degrees require a minimum
of 195 quarter hours of credit including required coursework in general
education and the major. There is often an opportunity to select course
work electives.

The minimum work required for graduation is 195 quarter hours and a
2.0 quality-point average in all course work taken at LaGrange College. To
be eligible for the degree, a student must meet all requirements for the
degree (general education, major program, all necessary assessments, 195
quarter hours and 2.0 cumulative grade point average) and make applica-
tion for the degree before the beginning of his/her final quarter. A student
who does not earn a degree in sixteen full quarters or the equivalent may
be denied further registration.

In order to graduate in four academic years a student, at a minimum,
should take 16-17 quarter hours credit each term. A student who takes at
least 12 quarter hours credit is classified as full-time. The maximum full
load is 19 quarter hours; anything beyond is considered an overload. No stu-
dent is permitted to enroll for more than 22 hours in any one quarter.

Quality points are earned as follows: A, 4; B, 3; C, 2; D, 1 ; F, 0. The qual-
ity-point average is computed by multiplying the grade point by the course
credit, summing, and then dividing the total quality points earned by the
total GPA hours. If a student has received credit for a course and repeats that
course, he receives no additional credit toward the degree. In computing the
student's average, GPA hours and quality points are counted on all such
attempts.

Not more than 1 00 quarter hours of credit earned at a junior college are
counted toward the degree. No credit is granted toward the degree for
course work taken at a junior college after a student has attained junior
standing except that up to 1 5 hours of transient credit from a junior college
may be granted for courses that are below the LaGrange College 300-level.
(The 100 credit-hour limit still applies.) A transfer student is not given
credit toward graduation for any Ds earned elsewhere. Transient work for a
grade of "C" or better is acceptable. Academic averages are computed on
work done only at LaGrange College.

There are two ways by which a student must meet residency require-
ments for graduation:

(1 ) The student must be in residence the last 60 hours

or

(2) 75 Credit hours of the last 90 credit hours must be earned at
LaGrange College. With prior approval of the adviser and the Vice
President for Academic Affairs and Dean up to 15 hours of transient
study may be earned at another accredited institution. Transient credit
is only for courses in which the grade is "C" or better.

82 / Academic Regulations and Procedures

Grades earned for transient work are not included in the cumulative
grade average. Normally, after receiving an unsatisfactory grade in a course
at LaGrange College, a student v^ill not be given credit for repeating that
course at another institution. Credit totaling 10 hours or more earned in
this way during the last 90 hours or final six quarters precludes that stu-
dent'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 Vice President
for Academic Affairs and Dean. Such extension or correspondence credit
may in no case exceed 10 hours (grades of "C" or better); however, not
more than five hours earned in this manner may be applied toward the ful-
fillment of the General Requirements of LaGrange College. Any course or
courses so taken must be completed and all grades recorded before the
end of the student's final quarter, in order to be graduated that quarter.

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
45-89 hours of credit. To be classified as a junior, a student must have
earned 90 hours of credit. A student is classified as a senior upon having
earned 135 hours of credit. A student should be alert to the fact that 195
hours are required for graduation. Attaining these minimum progression
requirements may not be sufficient to insure graduation within the three
quarters of the senior year.

No grade below ''O' in any course above WO-level may be applied
toward a major

Requirements for the Associate of Arts Degree

As previously described, the College offers programs of study leading to
the Associate of Arts degree. Students pursuing an associate degree must
complete the general education component required for that degree, the pre-
scribed coursework in the discipline and a minimum of 95 quarter hours.
The last 30 quarter hours must be done in residence. A 2.00 grade point
average is necessary.

Transcripts

Students are entitled to transcripts of their record free of charge. No
transcripts will be issued for any student under financial obligation to the
College.

Transcript requests must be made in writing to the Registrar well in
advance of the time the transcript is needed. Transcripts will be issued
promptly; however, at the beginning and end of quarters some delay may
be unavoidable.

Academic Regulations and Procedures I 83

Student Grade Appeals

The initial determination of a student's grade is entirely the prerogative of
the instructor. However, a student who wishes to contest a course grade or
other academic decision may initiate an appeal by following the procedures
outlined below. It is often in the best interest of a student who chooses to
appeal a grade for that student to initiate the appeal as soon as possible fol-
lowing the academic quarter in which the contested grade was issued.

The following procedures govern all student requests for grade changes:

1. The student should first attempt to resolve the matter by discussing
the question with the course instructor.

2. If the student and the instructor are unable to reach a resolution, the
student must then submit a written appeal to the Vice President for
Academic Affairs and Dean.

3. The Dean shall then seek an informal conference between the student
and the instructor to settle the grievance to the satisfaction of the two
parties involved. If no resolution can be found, the Dean will deliver
the student's appeal together with any other pertinent documents pro-
vided by the student and/or the instructor to the Review Subcommittee
of the Academic Standards Committee for its determination.

4. The Review Subcommittee shall then convene to conduct a prelimi-
nary review of the appeal, after which the Chair of the Review
Subcommittee will set times convenient to the student and the
instructor for hearing both sides of the dispute.

5. Upon completion of its hearings, the Review Subcommittee will
report its findings to the Vice President for Academic Affairs and
Dean. The Dean will in turn inform the principal parties involved of
whether the student's request for a change of grade or other decision
was denied or approved.

6. It is the responsibility of the Review Subcommittee to make every rea-
sonable effort to complete its deliberations prior to the end of the
quarter in which an appeal was initiated.

Student Appeal of Academic Policy

Students may petition for exception to published academic policy. The
Academic Advisory Council reviews the petition.

Graduation Requirements

A student who enters LaCrange College under a given Bulletin generally
will be graduated under the general education, hours requirement and
grade point average requirements of that Bulletin. Major requirements are
those in force at the time a student formally declares a major. If a student
suspends his/her study and re-enters more than four years later, he/she

84 / Academic Regulations and Procedures

will graduate under the requirements of the Bulletin in effect at the time
of re-entry.

Students in their last year of college work must have an audit of their
course credits and planned courses examined prior to registration for their
final quarter in residence. This is called a "graduation petition." The major
adviser and the Office of the Vice President for Academic Affairs and Dean
assist the student in completing this petition.

Students at LaGrange College will participate in the evaluation of the
extent to which institutional education goals are being achieved. This eval-
uation will be in both the general education area and the major. Students
who graduated in June of 1990 were the first to participate in these com-
prehensive evaluations. Consult the specific majors for the details.

Endowed Lectureship

Pre-professional and
Co-operative Programs

Pre-professional Programs of Study

LaGrange College has a curriculum and environment that is well-suited
to preparation for further study in fields such as law and medicine. These
programs include, but are not necessarily limited to, preparation for the fol-
lowing areas.

LAW

The pre-law advising committee is chaired by Dr. Tracy Lightcap and is
composed of Dr. Lightcap, Dr. Frederick Mills, Dr. Brenda Thomas and Dr.
Kevin Reidy. Students considering law school should consult with one of
these faculty members beginning in their freshman year and should meet
quarterly with other students interested in pre-law. Law school bulletins
and LSAT study guides are located on the ground floor of William and
Evelyn Banks Library in the Writing Center.

Students entering law school come from varied undergraduate pro-
grams. It is not really possible to say which major serves as the best
preparatory background for law school. Almost every law school bulletin,
however, suggests that entering students must have a strong background in
history, political science and English as well as some preparation in eco-
nomics, business, sociology, psychology and mathematics.

DENTISTRY

Dr. John Hurd is the general adviser. Students selecting a major other
than Biology should consult early and frequently with Dr. Hurd in addition
to their primary advisors for their majors. The pre-dental student should
select a major as early as possible and work toward the B.A. degree. Some
dental schools accept students with fewer than four years of college train-
ing, but most of them prefer a student with the baccalaureate degree.

The pre-dental student should be familiar with the specific requirements
set by the dental schools to which he plans to apply. There is some varia-
tion in the requirements of the various schools, but the minimum require-
ments set by most schools of dentistry are:

88 / Pre-professional and Co-operative Programs

Inorganic Chemistry with lab 1 5 quarter hours

Organic Chemistry with lab 1 5 quarter hours

Biology with lab 10 quarter hours

Physics with lab 1 5 quarter hours

English 1 quarter hours

All applicants must complete the Dental Admission Test not later than
the October testing preceding the year of desired entry.

MEDICINE (M.D.)

Dr. John Hurd is the general adviser. Students selecting a major other
than Biology should consult early and frequently with Dr. Hurd in addition
to their primary advisers for their majors. The pre-medicine student should
select a major as soon as possible and seek the B.A. degree. Medical
schools rarely accept candidates with less than the baccalaureate degree.

The student should familiarize himself with the requirements of the sev-
eral medical schools to which he plans to apply. Requirements vary some-
what in the various medical schools, but the minimum requirements of
most medical schools are:

Biology with lab 15 quarter hours

General Chemistry with lab 1 5 quarter hours

Organic Chemistry 1 5 quarter hours

Physics 1 5 quarter hours

Every applicant must take the Medical College Admission Test, prefer-
ably in the spring preceding the submission of his application to medical
school, but no later than the fall of that year.

VETERINARY MEDICINE

Dr. John Hurd is the general adviser. Students selecting a major other
than Biology should consult early and frequently with Dr. Hurd in addition
to their primary advisers for their majors. The pre-veterinary student should
be familiar with the specific requirements of the school to which he plans
to apply. The minimum requirements set by most schools of veterinary
medicine are as follows:

A candidate must have completed at least 90 quarter hours of college
credit by the end of the spring quarter before fall matriculation at the veteri-
nary school. The B.A. degree is preferred. The following required courses
must have been completed prior to entry into veterinary school.

English 9 quarter hours

Biology with lab 10 quarter hours

Advanced Biological Science 10 quarter hours

Physics 1 5 quarter hours

Pre-professiunal and Co-operative Programs I 89

Biochemistry 5 quarter hours

Inorganic Chemistry with lab 10 quarter hours

Organic Chemistry with lab 1 quarter hours

Animal Nutrition* 5 quarter hours

The candidate must have worked with a veterinarian, and he must have
had hands-on experience working with large and small animals.

Each applicant will be required to take the Graduate Record Examination
(GRE) and the Veterinary Aptitude Test. These tests should be taken October
or December of the year prior to probable admission to veterinary school.

*Not available at LaCrange College

ENGINEERING

LaGrange College has an engineering-oriented program designed to pro-
vide a broad liberal arts background while preparing the student for a profes-
sional engineering program. Dual-degree programs in engineering have been
established with Georgia Institute of Technology and Auburn University. The
dual degree program with Georgia Tech is limited to Georgia residents. In
addition, a dual degree program is being negotiated with Mercer University
and should be in place for fall of 1997. Students accepted in the dual-degree
program will attend LaGrange College for approximately three academic
years (a minimum of 146 quarter hours) and then the chosen engineering insti-
tution for approximately two academic years. After completing the academic
requirements of the two cooperating institutions, the student shall be awarded
a bachelor's degree from LaGrange College and a bachelor's degree in engi-
neering from the engineering institution.

It is strongly suggested that all students considering either the dual
degree program in engineering or transferring into an engineering program
contact the pre-engineering adviser. Dr. Bill McCoy, prior to registration.

To be eligible to enroll in the dual-degree program in engineering a stu-
dent must have a 2.3 or better grade point average. In addition to complet-
ing the General Education Curriculum, a student in the dual degree
program must complete the courses listed below. The courses are listed in
sequence for the first two years at LaGrange College. While this order is
strongly suggested, the courses may be taken over the three years of resi-
dency at LaGrange College.

Students should contact the pre-engineering advisor concerning the
appropriate general education electives and additional required courses for
their chosen engineering institution.

Pre-professional and Co-operative Programs / 9^

JOURNALISM

The journalism adviser is Natalie Shelton in the Office of Institutional Rela-
tions. The student who plans a career in journalism needs a wide range of
courses in many areas. A recommended basic program would include
approximately 20 hours in humanities, 20 hours in mathematics and sci-
ence, 20 hours in social science, and 30 hours in a major field. Specific
courses to prepare for admission to individual schools should be selected
in consultation with the adviser.

PHYSICAL THERAPY

The pre-physical therapy general adviser is Dr. John Hurd. Many schools
which offer training in physical therapy award a Bachelor's degree after
successful completion of classroom and clinical work. Students are admit-
ted to such programs after completion of 90 quarter hours of work includ-
ing approximately 20 hours in Humanities, 20 hours in math and science,
20 hours in social science plus 30 hours in a major field such as biology.
Specific courses to prepare for admission to individual schools should be
selected in consultation with the adviser. Many schools now offer only a
master's degree in physical therapy. These schools require a bachelor's
degree as well as completion of the pre-physical therapy core.

OPTOMETRY

The pre-optometry general adviser is Dr. John Hurd. Students selecting a
major other than biology should consult early and frequently with Dr. Hurd
in addition to their primary advisers for their majors. Though selected stu-
dents may be admitted to optometry school after three years of preparation,
most are admitted after receiving Bachelors or Masters degrees. Optometry
involves fours years of study after admission to the program and in some
areas also includes a brief internship. Majors in any academic area are
acceptable though the student should include emphasis on the sciences.
Preparation for admission to a specific school can be planned with the
assistance of the adviser. Prospective optometry students must take the
Optometry Admission Test (OAT).

Art and Design

The Art and Design major consists of studio concentrations in the fol-
lowing areas: painting and drawing, photography, ceramics and sculpture,
and design. A student may choose a studio concentration in more than one
area. The courses required in the studio concentration are specific and
should be determined in consultation with the student's advisor when the
student first declares a major in art.

Objectives are established as a basis for the education program in Art
and Design at LaGrange College. These objectives also include a means of
determining deficiencies prior to graduation so that necessary steps can be
taken to correct these deficiencies. The objectives are:

1 . to develop technical knowledge pertaining primarily to the student's
chosen area of concentration, but not limited to it.

2. to help the students develop an artistic vocabulary, especially in
their specific area of concentration.

3. to assist the students in finding and focusing their creative ideas into
a consistent body of work.

4. to instruct the students in the correct means of presenting their work
in a portfolio or exhibition.

5. to give each student an understanding of graduate study in specific
studio areas.

6. to encourage students to exhibit their work and acquaint them with
the gallery system.

7. to provide the students with a creative environment by using all
available resources. This would include field trips to galleries and
museums, course work in locations of artistic interest, guest lectures
and workshops related to the exhibitions in the College's galleries.

To accomplish these objectives students will take the following courses:

15 hrs. Art History ART 109, 110, 111 or 330.

Biology

Specific Objectives for the Major

The biology faculty works with their majors to help them develop an
understanding and working knowledge of the life phenomenon at subcellu-
lar through organismic levels. Within the major, a student may elect to
emphasize human biology, field-oriented biology or biochemical and
microscopic aspects of life science.

A plan of study to help the student pursue both the individual's and the
Department's objectives is developed by consultation between the student
and his advisor.

Method of Accomplishing Objectives

The student is presumed to have accomplished the specific collection of
objectives by satisfactorily completing the courses which constitute his
major. A major in biology consists of the following courses: Biology 101,
102 and 40 more hours of biology as approved by the academic advisor;
Chemistry 101, 102; 351, 352; Mathematics through 105 or 122; Physics
101, 102. In addition, one course from the following must be taken with
the approval of the major academic advisor; General Science 492, an
advanced chemistry course. Mathematics 114 or 316, Physics 103.

The approved program of teacher education in secondary science with
emphasis in biology and the professional education sequence will satisfy
the requirements for a major in biology.

Demonstration of Accomplishment of Objectives

The Biology Department continues to use the success of its graduates in
the job market and in advanced study as a gauge of the applicability of its
goals and the success of the students in attaining these goals.

Career Options

Graduates of the College who have majored in biology typically pursue
careers in teaching, pharmacy, medicine, dentistry or physical therapy. In
addition, many graduates find employment in industry some in labora-
tories, some in management and others in research and development. Most
careers require further formal study in graduate or professional schools.

Business and Economics

I. Introduction

Within the context of a liberal arts educational environment, the Business
and Economics curricula are designed to aid the student in developing a fun-
damental understanding of the nature, purposes and interdependences of
our business systems and the socioeconomic environments in which they
operate. The division prepares the majors for employment in a wide variety
of organizations and provides the background they need to enter graduate
and professional schools.

Although the curricula are designed for the business students, we have
an interdisciplinary program, which includes BUA 101 Contemporary Eco-
nomic/Business Issues as well as specialized tracks in other college disci-
plines of the student's choice. The department also provides opportunities
for students majoring in other areas to supplement their curricula by taking
courses that can help them increase their understanding of the role and
functioning of business, and of our economic system.

For students who elect to move beyond the introductory courses and pur-
sue further studies in business, the department offers several alternatives:

Minor in business

Associate of Arts (AA) degree with an emphasis in business

Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree with a major in business;

Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) degree, with tracks in
accounting, management, international business, or in an academic
discipline other than business;

Bachelor of Science in Accountancy (See separate Bachelor of Science
in Accountancy Bulletin).

The division also offers evening course work leading to the Master of
Business Administration (MBA) degree (See separate Graduate Bulletin).

The Master and Bachelors programs are accredited nationally by the
Association of Collegiate Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP).

II. Objectives

For non-majors, the business administration course offerings seek to pro-
vide students with the opportunity to develop a basic understanding of
business and its role in the economy, and to gain greater knowledge of the
several major functions of business.

For students who pursue the AA degree or the minor in business, the
programs are designed to help them acquire a fundamental understanding
of business.

The objective of the BA degree program is to provide students with a
comprehensive understanding of both the qualitative and quantitative
aspects of the functions of business, while also affording them an extensive

Business and Economics 1 1 09

opportunity to pursue unrelated or related course work. This is the liberal
studies degree in business and the program provides ample room for
course electives. The program is designed to provide valuable and useful
background for any of a wide variety of career options that the student may
elect to pursue.

The BBA program is designed to provide students with comprehensive
knowledge of enterprise management as well as an opportunity to develop
in-depth knowledge and proficiency in a specific functional or occupa-
tional area. This degree program requires twenty quarter-hours of course
work in a track chosen by the student and approved by the faculty advisor,
leading to a concentration in accounting, management, international busi-
ness, or in a non-business discipline. Note that as a rule the courses
required for the BBA tracks are only offered in the day program.

The track in accounting prepares students to sit for the Certified Manage-
ment Accountant examination. Students wishing to sit for the Certified Public
Accountant examination will best be served by majoring in accounting to meet
the new licensing requirements (See separate BS in Accountancy Bulletin).

Preferably students should declare their intentions to pursue a major in
business during the Spring quarter of their freshman year. (Early declaration of
major is especially important to students wishing to major in accounting.)
Business majors should note that the applicable requirements for the major,
including required courses, are those in effect when they declare their major,
not those in effect at the time of their matriculation.

In addition to the course requirements, students pursuing the bachelor
degree must obtain a passing score on an oral or written comprehensive
Department Assessment Test (DAT). The written DAT may be repeated only
once. Completion of all programs also requires that the student complete a
three-part series of workshops in resume writing, interviewing skills and job
search in the Career Planning and Placement Center.

III. Course Requirements

Note that most courses have prerequisites and, generally, 200-level
courses are introductory, and eligibility for 400-level work requires
completion of all 300-level courses. Prerequisites are shown after the

Chemistry

Chemistry is often referred to as the central science, because chemical
concepts are used throughout the other sciences. Therefore, in addition to
being a major in its own right, the study of chemistry is a part of many cur-
ricula. The Chemistry Department focuses its introductory chemistry course
as an element in a liberal education, a service to other departments and the
beginning of a comprehensive study of chemistry. Before declaring a major
in chemistry, a student must successfully (C or better) complete the intro-
ductory sequence (CHM 101, 102). The department offers both B.A. and
B.S. majors as weW as a minor which can lead to a variety of future occu-
pations. Students with majors in chemistry have gone on to traditional pur-
suits such as graduate school in chemistry or biochemistry, pharmacy,
medical school, law school (patent law, corporate law), as well as becom-
ing laboratory technicians and salespeople for chemistry related industries.
A growing field is environmental science, which is strongly founded in
chemistry.

The B.A. degree offers a broad background in chemistry while allowing
ample time for extensive coursework in other fields. The B.A. is appropri-
ate for those interested in one of the medical or law related professions or
for students desiring the broadest possible education as well as an empha-
sis in natural science. The B.S. program is designed for those going on to
graduate school in a chemically related field (chemistry, biochemistry, mol-
ecular biology, chemical physics, environmental chemistry) or those seek-
ing employment as chemists after graduation. The B.S. degree is generally
more highly valued at professional schools where entrance standards are
high. While the B.S. degree is more demanding of a student's time, there is
sufficient time for electives outside the sciences.

The specific objectives for the respective degrees are as follows:

The Bachelor of Science Degree

Students who earn the B.S. degree will be appropriately competent in
the following areas:

1 . Atomic and molecular structure and chemical bonding.

2. The language of chemistry: verbal, written, numerical and graphical
presentation of chemical concepts.

3. Equilibria

4. Periodic relationships

5. Thermochemistry

6. Physical measurements on chemical systems

variety of needs and demands. The education curriculum at LaGrange
College serves four basic purposes.

1) to provide for the development of those professional understandings
and abilities v^hich are essential for the teaching profession.

2) to provide planned and carefully guided sequences of field experi-
ences. This will require students meeting with their classes prior to
making work plans.

3) to provide programs in Early Childhood Education, Middle Grades
Education, Secondary Education, and Art Education at the undergrad-
uate level which are approved by the Georgia Professional Standards
Commission.

4) to provide programs leading to the Master of Education degree in
Early Childhood Education and Middle Childhood Education which
are fully accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and
Schools and the Georgia Professional Standards Commission.

Teacher Certification

The education department offers a variety of programs which are approved
by the Georgia Professional Standards Commission and lead to certification
in Georgia. Students desiring to be certified upon completion of their programs
should plan to work closely with their advisors since certification requirements
are subject to change.

At the undergraduate level, completion of an approved program conducted
by the college and qualifying scores on the Praxis I and II Exams entitle a
student to receive an Initial Clear Renewable Certificate.

English Language and Literature

INTRODUCTION

The Department of English Language and Literature offers a wide range
of courses to meet a variety of needs and demands: English for international
students; journalism; business and technical writing; English literature,
American literature, and continental literature in translation; freshman
composition; and basic composition. The aim of the Department is to
teach proficiency in the use of the English language and to acquaint stu-
dents with western literature in its historical context.

CAREER OPTIONS

In a time of increased specialization and highly restricted curricula for
future lawyers, physicians, engineers, and business executives, it is mis-
leading to assume that the student interested in language and literature has
no career options outside the field of education. While many dedicated
people find teaching to be a satisfying livelihood, there is documentary evi-
dence "that training in English and literature, particularly at the college
level, is invaluable preparation for futures in four outstanding professional
areas: law, medicine, business and federal service." (See English: The Pre-
Professional Major by Linwood Orange. This pamphlet, published in its
fourth edition by the Modern Language Association of American, 1986, is
available in the Department of English.)

OBJECTIVES OF GENERAL EDUCATION COURSES

The primary goal of General Education courses in composition and liter-
ature is to help students become competent readers and writers by provid-
ing them with challenging texts and ample opportunities to practice their
skills of critical thinking and expression. Toward this end, the English fac-
ulty have set the following five objectives. All students completing the
General Education Curriculum will:

(1) demonstrate proficiency in expository writing with Standard American
English grammar, punctuation, and usage

(2) demonstrate proficiency in critical reading

(3) demonstrate ability to assimilate, organize, and develop ideas logi-
cally and effectively

(4) demonstrate an understanding of the rudiments of research-based
writing

(5) demonstrate a knowledge of Western literature in its historical context.

1 42 / English Language and Literature

OBJECTIVES OF ENGLISH MAJOR COURSES

All students completing the baccalaureate program in English will be
prepared to pursue careers in which a broad knowledge of literature and a
proficiency in critical reading, critical thinking, and expository writing are
important. They also will be prepared to pursue graduate studies in English
and in other professional areas such as law, medicine, or journalism. In
addition, students who wish to prepare for a career in teaching may do so
by completing a major in English. For each of these endeavors, English majors
will demonstrate the following:

(1) an extensive knowledge of the development of British literature and
American literature from their origins to the present

(2) a capacity for interpreting literature, reading critically, and express-
ing literary ideas, both in oral discussion and in written work

(3) an ability to bring informed critical and analytical judgment to bear on
the study of literary issues, both in oral discussion and in written work

(4) a mastery of the techniques of literary research and the use of MLA style

(5) a knowledge of Standard American English grammar, punctuation,
and syntax

(6) a knowledge of Standard American English usage

ENGLISH FOR SPEAKERS OF OTHER LANGUAGES (ESOL)

LaGrange College has always been interested in the world community,
seeking to foster goodwill and understanding by interpreting the global vil-
lage at home and the culture here and abroad. One of the means to further
this objective is through international students studying at LaGrange
College. American students have an opportunity to learn from these stu-
dents, and the international students in turn learn not only academics but
also the language and the customs of Americans.

To assist international students in acquiring the English language skills
necessary for academic study and promote their understanding of
American ways, the college offers intensive language study. Students are
placed in appropriate levels to practice and develop the various skills
expected of a student. Those who don't know English very well follow a
rigorous three-quarter set of courses. The first quarter emphasizes hearing
and speaking skills with fundamental grammar familiarization. Extensive
pair work provides maximum opportunities to practice. Reading is also
practiced in order to promote vocabulary usage and retention. Students are
introduced to essential American signs of courtesy and survival informa-
tion, such as reading for information.

In the second quarter, the classes emphasize work more specifically
directed toward the academic classes the students attend and life they par-
ticipate in. Listening skills concentrate on the lecture format with correspond-
ing work to take notes for retention. Reading comprehension is exercised
as well as skills such as skimming and scanning, and reading is also pro-
moted for vocabulary acquisition, a primary basis for learning acquisition,
and for pleasure. Writing is studied and practiced not only in note-taking
but in building paragraphs and simple compositions in preparation for

English Language and Literature / 1 49

more advanced work in the spring quarter. Students practice speaking
throughout the quarter in class discussions, recitations, and in preparing
mini speeches to practice the performer's articulation and oratorical skills
as well as the other students' listening and note-taking skills. Role-plays are
assigned to produce confidence in extemporaneous speech and leadership.
Further introduction to American society is achieved through the readings
and projects the students engage in.

The third quarter emphasizes reading and advanced listening skills in
the ESOL section. The reading materials for this level are similar in com-
plexity to texts used in college courses. By this time, the students are or
have been taking some regular academic classes and are aware of the need
to continue developing their vocabulary and their reading skill. Listening
practice at this stage focuses on the subtleties of meaning expressed in
speech through such ways as tone of voice and vocabulary register. The
writing component is separated into an English 100 class which introduces
and practices skills that the student will continue to develop in the core
curriculum English courses required of all LaGrange students.

LaGrange College has a profound commitment to the language arts, and
through the program for non-native speakers of English, foreign students are
able to perform well in English. Students who successfully complete these
courses should be able to handle the rigors of academic study in English
and feel confident of themselves in the American classroom and campus.

History

The faculty of the Department of History believe that all persons, what-
ever their selected role in life, require an understanding of their past in
order to prepare for their future. The faculty firmly believe that the liberal
arts preparation, which encompasses courses from the discipline of history,
provides the student with the most appropriate educational background for
life by integrating knowledge from the broadest range of disciplines. The
objective of the Department of History is to provide each student at
LaGrange College with knowledge of the historical forces which have
shaped civilization as we know it.

To achieve the objective set forth above, the faculty seek to:

(A) provide every student with a basic understanding of the historical
forces which have contributed to the development of civilization. .

(B) develop in every student an understanding and appreciation of
his/her civilization which is a part of the world community.

The faculty of the department believe that students who select to complete
a major course of study in history should have the foundation knowledge
and understanding of the discipline, developed by classroom instruction and
individual study, necessary to provide them with the opportunity to:

(1 ) pursue graduate study within the discipline.

(2) pursue a professional degree in a selected field of study.

(3) pursue employment as a teacher in pre-collegiate education.

(4) seek employment in a field such as government, entry level historic
documentation and preservation, social or historic entry level
research, or a field where their liberal arts preparation can be benefi-
cially utilized.

Graduates of the Department of History may be found pursuing careers
in business, law, education, politics and government, broadcasting, jour-
nalism, the ministry and other fields of endeavor. In all of these endeavors
our graduates have found that their education has provided a foundation
for their careers and for their growth in life.

The Department of History offers the following major in history:

(A) From the general education curriculum:
HIS 101 and 102, World Civilization and
HIS 111 and 112, United States History
These are required courses for the major.

We strongly encourage the history major to pursue the widest possible
liberal arts preparation by the careful selection of courses from the general
education structure.

(B) Two courses from:

HIS 307 Social and Intellectual History of the United States

HIS 308 American Diplomatic History

HIS 310 Constitution History of the United States

HIS 490 Senior History Seminar is required of all majors

35 hours

(C) An additional fifteen hours of 300- and 400-level History courses are
required. The total major course requirements are 50 quarter hours
credit beyond 100-level courses.

The approved program of teacher certification in history consists of
History 101 and 102, 111 and 112, completion of the major, History 360
(social science methods), and the professional education sequence. All stu-
dents who plan to teach should take History 315, Georgia History. Teacher
certification requirements also require that at least one upper level course
be completed in two of the following disciplines: political science, eco-
nomics, sociology.

Success in achieving the objectives established for the major will be
demonstrated as follows:

(1 ) successful completion of each major course with a grade of C or better.

(2) successful completion of the senior history seminar and defense of
the senior thesis before the students and faculty of the department.

(3) satisfactory score on the teacher criterion reference test in social sci-
ences, for those seeking certification in secondary education in the
social sciences.

(4) successful completion of a major field examination during their
senior year.

Those wishing to major in history are encouraged to declare their major
by the beginning of the winter quarter of their sophomore year. Successful
completion of History 101-102 and History 111-112 before entering the
major is highly desirable.

Nursing

The Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) curriculum consists of two
plans of study. The basic program prepares graduates for entry into profes-
sional nursing practice and confers eligibility for initial licensure as a regis-
tered professional nurse (RN). A degree-completion option is designed for
licensed RNs who wish to earn the BSN degree.

The curriculum provides professional nursing education within a her-
itage of Christian faith and liberal arts learning. The nursing major,
grounded in an ethic of caring, encourages independent thought, apprecia-
tion for the discovery of excellence, and commitment to supporting the
health of individuals and society. BSN studies establish a sound foundation
for professional nursing practice, graduate study, and continuing progress
toward personal and professional goals. Faculty and students serve as
resources for the College and community in nursing education, service,
and research. Opportunities for collaborative study with students of other
majors and clinical experience with varied health care providers empha-
size the interdisciplinary nature of nursing practice. As professional nurses,
graduates will be able to assist individuals, groups, and communities in
meeting health care goals.

The BSN program is fully approved by the Georgia Board of Nursing and
is accredited by the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission.

Program Goals:

Graduates of the Bachelor of Science in Nursing program will be able to:

Practice nursing from a knowledge and research base utilizing skills of
critical thinking, creativity, and communication, with the ability to expand
knowledge and skills through lifelong learning.

Engage in nursing practice based in a value system consistent with pro-
fessional standards of nursing and the philosophy of the nursing program,
characterized by caring and valuing of self and others.

Participate in transitions of health recognizing the opportunities and lim-
itations imposed by historical, sociocultural, spiritual, legal, ethical, politi-
cal, economic, and environmental contexts.

Assume the role of professional nurse, accountable as provider of care,
manager, collaborator, educator, learner, and resource for individuals, fami-
lies, groups, and communities in promoting and restoring health and well-being.

Admission to the BSN Program:

Students may declare the intent to pursue a nursing major at any time.
However, application for admission to the upper-division program is made
during the sophomore year. Nursing studies begin at the junior level with
the exception of Nutrition (NUR 305) which may be completed prior to
admission to the nursing program. Admission requirements are as follows:

Nursing/ } 83

1. A completed Application for Admission to Nursing. An application
form is available from the College Admissions office and in the office of the
Division of Nursing.

2. Complete a sufficient number of credits in General Education and other
required courses to permit an uninterrupted progression in the nursing major.

3. A grade of C or higher is required in anatomy, physiology, microbiol-
ogy, and English composition courses. Should a student earn less than a C
more than once in these courses, the student will be ineligible to enter the
nursing program. A limit of five years applies to completion of anatomy,
physiology, and microbiology courses.

4. A cumulative overall GPA of 2.5 or higher at the time of entry into the
nursing program, including all courses completed or attempted at any insti-
tution. A student whose GPA does not meet this requirement will be con-
sidered on an individual basis.

5. An interview with a member of the nursing faculty may be required.
An applicant may request an interview if desired.

6. An applicant who has completed any program of study leading to
licensed employment in the health care area (such as registered or practi-
cal nursing, emergency medical technician) must present the license in
person.

Admission to the BSN Completion Option:

The BSN Completion Option is open to Registered Nurses who have
graduated from an Associate Degree or Diploma program in Nursing and
who hold a valid license to practice as a Registered Nurse. Current Georgia
RN licensure is required prior to entering a clinical nursing course.

In addition to RN licensure, the general admission requirements above
apply to RN applicants, with the following exceptions:

1 . RN students who enter the nursing sequence on a full-time basis must
have completed all General Education Requirements and all required non-
nursing courses through the junior level.

2. No time limit applies to the completion of anatomy, physiology, or
microbiology courses.

3. Thirty-eight (38) previously earned Associate or Diploma nursing
credits may be accepted toward the BSN degree, subject to the terms of the
Georgia RN-BSN Articulation Agreement (the complete Agreement is avail-
able in the office of the Division of Nursing). These 38 credit hours repre-
sent previously completed nursing courses in Adult Health, Child Health,
Maternal Health, and Mental Health and are not intended to equal the actual
number of previously earned nursing credits. Normally, no more than
38 hours of Associate Degree or Diploma nursing course credits may be
applied toward fulfilling any requirement(s) of the BSN degree.

4. Thirty-eight (38) additional nursing course credits must be earned at
the upper division level (300 and 400 courses). Up to 10 of these credits

1 84 / Nursing

may be earned through challenge examinations on a one attempt basis. A
minimum of one year of nursing practice experience within the past three
years is required for eligibility for challenge examinations.

Matriculation Requirements:

1 . An accepted student must possess a level of physical and emotional
health sufficient to enable him/her to meet nursing program requirements
and the standards of professional nursing practice.

2. Prior to beginning the first clinical nursing course, a medical exami-
nation is required which documents the student's level of health and
immunization or immune status.

3. Professional liability insurance (purchased on a group basis through
the College) and basic cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) certification is
required prior to beginning the first nursing course and must be continued
throughout all clinical nursing courses.

Curriculum:

Nursing courses are offered in a six-quarter sequence during the junior
and senior years of study. The total BSN curriculum can be completed in
four academic years (12 quarters) and includes 95 credit hours in General
Education, 24 credit hours in other required and elective courses, and 76
credit hours in nursing courses. Selected courses required for the BSN
degree may fulfill certain General Education Requirements; these and other
required non-nursing courses are:

Progression:

1 . A grade of C (75%) or higher is required for successful completion of
all nursing courses. A grade of D, F, or WF is a failing grade.

2. A minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0 must be maintained throughout
the period of enrollment in nursing courses. A nursing major whose GPA
falls below 2.0 will be placed on departmental probation and has one
quarter in which to raise the GPA to 2.0 or higher. Failure to achieve a 2.0
in one quarter will result in withdrawal from the nursing program. A 2.0
GPA is required for entrance into senior level courses.

3. A student may repeat a failed clinical nursing course only once. If a
second failing grade is earned in any clinical nursing course, the student will
not be eligible to continue in the nursing program. Should this occur, a stu-
dent may petition for readmission no sooner than two years following the
second nursing course failure; all admission requirements would apply.

4. All general education and other required non-nursing courses, with
the exception of the BUA course, must be completed prior to beginning the
senior level nursing courses.

5. A student who for any reason is not enrolled in a clinical nursing
course for a period of more than twelve (12) months must apply for read-
mission and meet all standards for continuation in the nursing program.
Readmission is subject to available clinical space.

1 86 / Nursing

Progression in BSN Completion Option:

In addition to the guidelines above, the following policies apply to pro-
gression in the BSN Completion Option:

1. A valid Georgia RN license must be maintained throughout enroll-
ment in clinical nursing courses.

2. All previously earned ADN or Diploma nursing credits will be placed
in escrow when the RN student enters the nursing program. Upon satisfac-
tory completion of 10 credit hours of BSN nursing courses, the escrowed
credits will be transferred to the student's permanent academic record.
Should the RN student not be successful in the initial 10 hours of nursing
course(s), the previously earned nursing credits will not be applied toward
the BSN degree.

Assessment in the Major:

NLN (National League for Nursing) achievement tests are administered
at intervals throughout the nursing program. These tests are included
within specific nursing courses.

During the final quarter of nursing studies, all students will complete a
comprehensive assessment of learning in the major: Non-RN students will
complete a standardized comprehensive examination in nursing. RN stu-
dents will complete an essay-type examination. A description of these
assessment processes will be provided to students during the first quarter of
nursing studies.

Psychology

INTRODUCTION

The goal of this department is to acquaint the student with basic princi-
ples of behavior and the research methods necessary to understand them.

OBJECTIVES

A student who graduates from LaCrange College with a major in psy-
chology will:

1. recognize the importance of an EMPIRICAL approach in attempting
to understand behavior.

2. be familiar with the concepts, terms, and explanatory principles
characteristic major psychological theorists and be able to evaluate
them critically through application of the principles of logico-empir-
ical science.

3. be able to identify and discuss examples of the major "types" of learn-
ing, to wit: classical, operant, observational, information processing.

4. be familiar with generalizations regarding physiological correlates
of behavior.

5. be familiar with the major historical developments in psychology.

6. be familiar with the terminology of the current edition of the
Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of the American Psychiatric
Association (DSM IV).

7. be familiar with the different theoretical approaches (including the
psychoanalytic, the humanistic, and social learning-behavioral) in
the description, etiology, and therapy of behavioral disorders listed
in DSM IV.

8. be able to list and discuss the various objective and projective per-
sonality assessment techniques and various rating scales including
the Rorschach and Holtzman inkblots, the Thematic Apperception
Test, the MMPI-II, the Q-sort, and the 16-PF.

9. recognize the basic philosophical (e.g.. What is personality?) and
methodological issues (e.g., how do we quantify and measure per-
sonality) in psychological research.

10. be familiar with the sections of an APA style research report includ-
ing the kinds of information typically found in each.

11. be familiar with the standard procedures for summarizing data,
including the construction of frequency tables, the calculation of
measures of central tendency (means, medians, and modes), calcu-
lation of measures of dispersion (range, variance, and standard devi-
ation), and correlation coefficients.

12. be familiar with the logic of hypothesis testing including the state-
ment of research and statistical hypothesis, the notion of Type I and

Psychology/ 197

Type II errors, the power and efficiency of a statistical test, and the
major inferential techniques used in psychology (especially t tests,
analysis of variance, and chi-square).
1 3. recognize the concepts and principles of psychology as exemplified
in everyday situations.

A major in psychology consists of 60 quarter hours (1 2 courses) beyond
the introductory course (PSY 149). Forty of these hours come from the cate-
gories below.

Methods (Both Required See Note 1 Below)
PSY 298, PSY 299

Experimental Content (Select Two)
PSY 455, PSY 465, PSY 470

Social/Personality/Development Content (Select Three See Note 2

Below)

PSY 321 , (PSY 202 or PSY 358), PSY 350, PSY 460

Advanced Special Topics (Required See Note 3 Below)
PSY 480

Notes:

1. Since this department views psychology as a research based disci-
pline, it is strongly recommended that the student complete PSY 298
and PSY 299 as soon as possible after the major is declared.

2. Students may take either PSY 202 or PSY 358 but not both to satisfy
this requirement. If a student takes both, one course counts toward
the 20 hours of major electives.

3. PSY 480 will be offered once per year and will involve advanced
study of a specialized topic. Topics will vary from year to year.

4. PSY 149, Introduction to Psychology, is the prerequisite to all 200 level
and above psychology courses. Some courses have other prerequisites.

Major Electives

An additional 20 hours of major courses will be selected by the student.
A student may select any 300 or 400 level psychology course beyond
those counted in the required areas. Up to three courses selected from
SOC 247, SOC 300, SOC 308, and BIO 148 may be applied toward the
major with the approval of the advisor.

Assessment

The accomplishment of the psychology objectives will be demonstrated
by obtaining an acceptable score on the Area Concentration Achievement
Test (ACAT) in psychology. Normally, this test will be given during the stu-
dent's final quarter at LaCrange College.

1 98 / Psychology

Career Options

Students who complete the major in psychology have a wide variety of
career options. Psychology is a very broad field which overlaps many dif-
ferent areas. Some of the jobs taken by recent psychology graduates
include management and supervisory positions in business and industry
and positions in community and state service agencies. A psychology
major also serves as good preparation for advanced study in law, social sci-
ence, counseling, and psychology.

Miscellaneous

No course with a grade below C may be applied toward a psychology
major.

It is strongly recommended that a student majoring in psychology complete
the Biology 148, 149 sequence or the Biology 101, 102 sequence to satisfy
the science portion of the general requirements.

Religion

As a field of inquiry within the liberal arts, the study of religion affords all
students an opportunity to hone the critical thinking and communication
skills that are an asset to any profession. Students who are considering church-
related vocations also may tailor their courses either to prepare for such
careers directly after completion of the degree or to provide a foundation
for graduate study in religion or theology.

The Religion Department offers four plans of study: the religion major, the
religion major with a concentration in Christian education or youth ministry,
the religion minor, and the minor in Christian education or youth ministry.

The Religion Major

The major consists of 60 hours of course work with the core requirement
(101, 1 03, or 1 04) as the prerequisite: 65 hours in total. The Religion major
must include at least 10 hours each for the areas of Biblical Studies, Histori-
cal Studies, and Ethics and Theological Studies. In addition, the major requires
at least five hours in the area of Philosophy. Thus, of the 65 hours required for
a Religion major, at least 35 hours must conform to the following guidelines:
I. Biblical Studies (10 hours). Minimum requirement is one elective in
Old Testament and one elective in New Testament. Courses include
303-305, 310-315, and 360-362.

taken as the course requirement), 323, 329, 342, 343, and 350.
iV. Philosophy (5 hours). Courses include any of the courses listed in the
Department of Philosophy.

The Religion Major with a Concentration
in Christian Education or Youth Ministry

A Christian Education or Youth Ministry Concentration within the Religion
major requires that students complete, in addition to the 35 hours required in
Areas l-IV but within the 65 hours required for the major, 20 hours in the fol-
lowing areas:

1 . Seminar (5 hours). Religion 490 will focus on the theory and practice
of either Christian Education or Youth Ministry, depending on student
needs, and will provide a foundation for the internship experience.

2. Internship (10-15 hours). Internships are an intensive practicum in the
practice of Christian Education or Youth ministry guided by a church
professional chosen in consultation with the department chair. The
appropriate number of course hours will be determined by the
department chair and will reflect the duration and intensity of the
internship experience.

202 / Religion

3. Course work in allied fields. Students who opt for a 10 hour intern-
ship experience may choose an additional five hours outside the
Religion Department from one of the following courses: Education
342; Psychology 202, 304, 351 , or 358.

The Religion Minor

A minor in religion consists of 25 hours in addition to the core require-
ment. Course distribution should include at least five hours from each of
the four areas of study in the department, as described above in the section

The Department of Theatre Arts offers a pre-professional training pro-
gram emphasizing the practical aspects of theatre and the importance of
process. It is the belief of the faculty that the training process must simulate
the "real world" of theatre. With the belief that theatre is both an art form
and a business, the curriculum provides a strong undergraduate foundation
in theatre performance, design/production, and literature. Classroom
instruction is enhanced through practical experiences in the form of fully
staged productions each quarter. Students may also participate in the depart-
ment's Summer Repertory Company (when offered), an intensive program
in acting, technical theatre, stage management, and other production areas.

Offering a B.A. in Theatre Arts, majors are required to complete a 76 hour
core curriculum designed to allow students to create a generalist, perfor-
mance, or design/production emphasis. In addition, 10 hours of electives are
required in theatre.

OBJECTIVES

The following objectives are established as a basis for the training pro-
gram in Theatre Arts. Upon application for graduation, the Theatre Arts
major will be expected to:

1 ) have an understanding of the basic theoretical and evolutionary con-
cepts behind each of the three major divisions within the discipline:
performance, design/production, and literature.

2) have an artistic vocabulary, especially in their specific area of con-
centration.

3) have the technical knowledge pertaining to the student's chosen area
of concentration, but not limited to it.
