About LaGrange College

Mission Statement

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

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, uninhibited 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 abilities. Faculty recognize the part they play in a student's development by serving as
mentors and role models. The total LaGrange College program - curricular and co-curricular - 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 interdisciplinary, technologically sophisticated liberal arts program (A. A., B.A.,
B.S., B.M.), professional programs in business (B.A., B.S.), nursing (B.S.N.), education (B.A., M.Ed, and M.A.T.),
and continuing education. The principal co-curricular 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, diversity, service, and excellence.

Adopted by Faculty, Administration, and Board of Trustees, 1997; reaffirmed by Board of Trustees on October 20, 2000.

Evening College

Evening College supports the mission of LaGrange College through the provision of associate and baccalaureate
programs that meet the academic needs of adult learners in Troup and surrounding counties. Evening College offers an
outstanding academic program in a supportive, encouraging environment. The liberal arts and science based program is
designed to nurture a love of life-long learning and to prepare students for the future through a curriculum that facilitates
mastery in a discipline and development of reasoning, decision-making and problem-solving abilities skills, vital for
career success. Recognizing that adult learners may be managing personal, professional, and collegiate careers. Evening
College is structured to allow qualified students to earn an undergraduate degree at night, through full-time or part-time
study, without sacrificing their professional and personal responsibilities. Evening College offers the Bachelor of Arts
degree in Business Administration, the Bachelor of Arts degree in Human Development, and the Associate of Arts
degree in Liberal Studies. A minor in Sociology is also offered.

Evening College operates on the quarter system and the academic year is divided into four terms that begin in
September, January, March, and June. Accepted students may begin classes during any quarter.

Admission

Freshman Admission

LaGrange College seeks to admit students who demonstrate the ability to benefit from a quality liberal arts and sciences
education. Applicants to Evening College are normally independent adults 24 years or older who reside off-campus; they
may be married or have dependents. Prospective students are encouraged to call the Evening College Office at 880-8298
to discuss the programs available in Business Administration, Human Development, and Liberal Studies, and to review
the application process.

Prospective students should:

1 . Request an application from the Evening College office, or download the application from our web site at

Mww. lagrange.edu. The application requires completion of both biographical and academic information, as well as
a thoughtful written response to a Focus Question. Mail the completed application and the $20.00 nonrefundable
application fee to Evening College, 601 Broad Street, Smith Hall 228, LaGrange, GA 30240.

2. Request official transcripts from all high schools and colleges attended. Official transcripts and test scores must
be signed and sealed and forwarded directly from the agency to Evening College. Copies of transcripts mailed,
faxed, or delivered by a prospective student are not considered to be official documents, and are therefore not
acceptable. Students who earned a G. E. D. in lieu of a high school diploma must submit an official copy of the
examination score, following the same procedure as noted above. Please note that applicants who are independent
students, aged 24 or older, with a minimum of two years work experience are not required to submit SAT or ACT
scores as a part of the application.

3. Schedule an appointment for a conversation with the Director of Evening College. The conversation with the
Director is an important part of the admission process, allowing the student to ask questions about the program,
and to discuss his/her intended study program.

The Admission Committee will review the completed application. Each application is carefiilly and thoughtfully evaluated
for academic preparation and ability, as evidenced by the transcript(s) and essay. The Admission Committee reviews
completed applications on a rolling basis; applicants should allow a minimum of two weeks for completed applications to
be processed. The admission decision will be communicated to the student in writing.

Regular admissioD will be extended to those applicants who meet all of the requirements for admission; enrollment will
normally be effective at the beginning of the next academic term. Probationary admission may be extended to
applicants who do not fully meet the standard admission criteria, but who possess the potential to be successfiil students.
Students accepted on probation will be limited to 10 quarter hours their first term, and must earn at least a 2.0 in both
courses in order to continue in Evening College.

In some instances, an applicant who appears to meet the standard admission criteria may experience unexpected delays in
forwarding official transcripts to the Admission Office. In this case, a conditional admission offer may be tendered with
full admission contingent upon receipt of the necessary paperwork within 30 days of enrollment.

Transfer Admission

Students attending another institution may apply for transfer admission providing they are eligible to return to their
current institution at the time of entry to LaGrange College. The College will evaluate course work from regionally
accredited college and universities for LaGrange College academic credit. Normally, credit will be given for classes
comparable to LaGrange College subjects for which the applicant earned a grade of "C" or above. If transferring from a
two-year institution, credit may be earned for a maximum of 90 quarter hours of coursework. If transferring from a four-
year college, normally 120 quarter hours of coursework may transfer. When transfer applicants are accepted, the Registrar
will review and evaluate all coursework taken at institutions outside of LaGrange College. The report, indicating courses
and credit hours for which transfer credit will be accepted by LaGrange College, will be mailed to the student prior to
registration for the upcoming term.

Questions concerning the awarding of transfer credit should be directed to the Registrar's Office.

Transient Admission

A student currently enrolled in good standing at another college may enroll in the Evening College as a transient student.
Applicants for transient status must complete the Transient Application for Admission and forward to the Registrar's
Office a permission letter from the home institution, verifying status and authorization to enroll for the course.

Readmission

If a student has not attended Evening College for four quarters, or was not in good standing during the last quarter
completed, s/he must submit an Application for Readmission (available in the Evening College office) before attempting
to register for additional course work. Students who were absent for three quarters or less, and who were in good
academic standing when they last attended, may re-activate their student file through the Registrar's Office without
applying for readmission. Students who have not attended another institution while absent from LaGrange College, and
who have been absent for less than four calendar years, are generally governed by the Bulletin in force at the date of
their initial enrollment. Students who have been out of school for four or more calendar years are subject to the Bulletin
in force at the time of their readmission and resumption of study.

If a student seeking readmission has attended another institution since leaving LaGrange College, he/she will - if
admitted - be considered as a transfer student. Transfer students will be subject to the Bulletin in force at the time of
their transfer back to LaGrange College.

Enrollment

After an offer of admission is extended, applicants who intend to accept the offer will be asked to submit an enrollment
deposit of $100.00 to reserve a space in the class for the upcoming term. The deposit will be considered as a credit
toward tuition due. A student who expects to receive a tuition reimbursement scholarship from his/her employer may
contact the Evening College office to request a waiver of the deposit.

The Evening College and the Registrar's offices will correspond with each student approximately one month before
each term begins to provide details concerning course registration, placement testing, book purchases, and other subjects
of importance to new students. Testing and registration activities are conducted during evening hours as a convenience
for students. Students should be advised that English and mathematics placement tests must be completed before initial
course registration can be finalized.

All new students are encouraged to participate in the Evening College Orientation, held the week prior to the start of
classes. In addition to providing a campus tour, the orientation is designed to provide new students with the opportunity
to meet current students, to introduce the advising and academic support system and cover logistics of course
registration, and to review the mission and overarching objectives of the Evening program.

College to begin the withdrawal process. The student should also consult with the Financial Aid and Business Offices to

See page 18 (Disbursement of Excess Financial Aid) for the reftind policies for students receiving financial aid.

Financial Aid

Philosophy

Recognizing the significant investment students and families make when choosing a private college, LaGrange College
offers a variety of assistance and payment options. We expect students to use a combination of scholarships, grants,
loans and work to meet college costs. These resources may come from family, employers, state or federal sources.
We encourage students to apply for financial aid as early as possible to maximize eligibility for all types of assistance.

Financial Aid Eligibility Requirements

In general, to be eligible for financial assistance, financial aid applicants must:

Be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident alien of the United States.

Be accepted for admission or currently enrolled in an approved degree-seeking program.

Have a high school diploma or a General Education Development (GED) Certification, or pass an approved
Ability-to-Benefit test.

Be making satisfactory academic progress towards the completion of a degree program.

Not be in default on any federal educational loan, or have made satisfactory arrangements to repay the loan.

Not owe a refund on a federal or state grant.

Not have borrowed in excess of federal loan limits.

Be registered with Selective Service, if required.

Financial Aid Application Procedures

Applicants for financial aid must:

Complete and submit a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or a Renewal FAFSA annually.

Complete a Georgia Tuition Equalization Grant Application, if applicable.

Submit all required documents for verification, if selected.

Determining Financial Need

Students in need of financial assistance must complete a federal need analysis form, the Free Application for Federal
Student Aid form (FAFSA). The FAFSA collects information concerning the student's family income, assets, and
untaxed income, family size, and the number in college. This information is used in a federal need analysis calculation
to determine what the family should be able to contribute towards educational expenses. This amount is called the
Expected Family Contribution (EFC).

The Financial Aid Office establishes a Cost of Attendance Budget that discloses the annual costs for a student to attend
LaGrange College. The Cost of Attendance Budget includes tuition, fees, room, board, books, supplies, and living
expenses. Other components of the Cost of Attendance, which are applied on an individual basis, include childcare
expenses, loan fees, and computer costs. These items may require documentation from the student. The Cost of
Attendance Budget for independent Evening College students for the 2004-2005 academic year is $19,096.

The Expected Family Contribution (EFC) is deducted from the Cost of Attendance at LaGrange College to determine
whether a need for financial assistance exists. If the family's EFC is less than the Cost of Attendance, a financial need
is established, and the Financial Aid Office will work with the family to assist in meeting that need.

Satisfactory Academic Progress

The United States Department of Education requires institutions of higher education to establish a satisfactory
academic progress policy to be applied to all recipients of federal financial aid. Satisfactory academic progress means
that the student is progressing in a manner consistent with fulfilling his/her degree requirements. Satisfactory academic
progress is evaluated throughout the course of the degree program. A Satisfactory Academic Progress policy must

include two components: qualitative and quantitative. Qualitative measures cumulative grade point average, Quantitative
measures the number or percentage of courses completed. The quantitative component also establishes the maximum
time frame for completing a degree program. Financial aid recipients must meet both of these standards to receive
financial aid.

The standards established in the Satisfactory Academic Progress policy apply to all financial aid programs.

Qualitative Standard

Federal regulations require a student to have a grade point average that is consistent with the institution's policy governing
academic progress. LaGrange College has set the following minimum grade point average requirements. The Registrar
and Academic Dean monitor this component of the policy each term.

Classification Minimum Cumulative Grade Point Average

Freshman 1.65

Sophomore 1 .75

Junior 1.85

Senior -'^>- <- - '->^-------'- --^-'^-^--' - ^-^-^ .-..,:-.,.....-:;,. .-.-. ^^^ ..:,,:..,-..:...,...

Quantitative Standard

Students receiving funds from any of the financial programs covered under this policy must demonstrate measurable
progress toward the completion of their degree program. LaGrange College requires students to successfully complete
67% of the credit hours for which the student enrolls each academic term. The credits hours considered under this policy
will be those for which the student is registered at the end of late registration. Grades of A, B, C, or D are considered as
successful completion of a course. Grades of F, W, WF, NR, or I are considered failing and do not count as successfully
completed courses. Audited courses are not considered in either the quantitative or qualitative standards.

Maximum Time Frame

Federal regulations allow a student to receive financial assistance for no more than 150% of the credit hours required to
complete the degree program. Therefore, students pursuing a bachelor's degree must complete their program within 270
attempted credit hours. Most students will complete the program within the time frame. However, frequent withdrawals
from courses or school, change of major, failed courses, repeated courses, or courses taken that are not related to your
degree program could jeopardize financial aid eligibility. All attempted hours are considered when reviewing maximum
time frame.

Transfer students must complete their program within a maximum of 270 credit hours. Hours transferred to and accepted
by LaGrange College from other institutions are considered in the maximum time frame. For example, if a student has 75
credit hours acceptable towards their degree program, the student may receive financial assistance for 195 additional
credit hours.

Students pursuing an additional bachelor's degree or a master's degree are eligible for an additional 90 quarter hours to
complete the degree.

Evaluation

The cumulative academic history of financial aid recipients is reviewed each term to determine if the student is meeting
the quantitative, qualitative and time frame standards for ail courses attempted, regardless of whether or not financial aid
was received. Transfer grade point averages are not considered in either of these standards. However, accepted transfer
credit hours will be considered in the maximum time frame for completing a degree program. Students who fail to meet
both qualitative and quantitative standards will be placed on financial aid probation. Students placed on financial aid
probation are eligible for financial aid during the probationary term. If the student does not meet the satisfactory
academic progress standards at the end of the probationary term, future financial aid will be terminated effective with the
next term of enrollment. Students whose financial aid is terminated may appeal to the Financial Aid Appeals Committee
for re-instatement of financial aid.

Appeal Process

Student financial aid recipients who lose their eligibility for financial aid may appeal in writing to the Financial Aid
Appeals Committee except for loss of eligibility due to timeframe. Appeals must be submitted in writing to the Director
of Financial Aid outlining any mitigating circumstance(s) that impacted the student's academic performance.

documentation of circumstance(s), if applicable, and how the deficiency will be resolved. The Director will convene
the Financial Aid Appeals Committee to evaluate the request for reinstatement of financial aid eligibility. The Director
of Financial Aid will notify the student in writing of the decision of the Committee and any conditions associated with
reinstatement. Students whose appeals are approved will receive financial aid on probationary status for the next term
of enrollment and will have their academic performance reviewed at the end of that term for continued eligibility.

Student Financial Aid Policies

Due to the demand for financial assistance, the Financial Aid Office awards aid to eligible students on a first-come,
first-served basis. In awarding, first priority is given to students pursuing their first undergraduate degree. Transient,
non-degree seeking, and unclassified students are not eligible for financial assistance.

All financial aid applications and documentation for verification must be submitted before an official financial aid
award letter is mailed.

In constructing a financial aid award, funding is awarded in this order: grants and scholarships, student loans, and

student employment.

External sources of financial aid available to a financial aid recipient must be considered in the awarding of Federal,

State, and LaGrange College need-based financial aid programs. LaGrange College reserves the right to cancel or

reduce financial aid awards in the event that these resources resuh in financial aid in excess of financial need.

Financial aid awards are made assuming full-time enrollment. Most LaGrange College and state financial aid programs

require full-time enrollment. However, financial assistance is available to students enrolled on at least a half-time basis

in the form of Federal student loans (Perkins, Stafford, and PLUS) and Federal Pell Grant and Federal Supplemental

Educational Opportunity Grants, if eligible.

A student's enrollment status will be based on the credit hours for which the student is registered at the conclusion of

late registration. All financial aid awards will be calculated using final registration information.

Financial aid awards will be disbursed on the first day of classes provided all required documents and eligibility

requirements are met.

Federal Financial Aid Programs

Federal Pell Grant is awarded to undergraduate students pursuing a first bachelor's degree. The student's Expected
Family Contribution, Cost of Attendance, and enrollment status determines the Pell award. Students enrolling less than
fiill-time qualify for a prorated amount of Pell Grant based on their enrollment status.

Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant is awarded to undergraduate students with exceptional
financial need. Priority is given to students eligible for the maximum Pell award.

Federal Perkins Loan is a low interest, repayable loan awarded to students with exceptional financial need. The
interest rate is 5% and no interest accrues on the loan while the borrower is enrolled half time and during the grace
period. Repayment begins nine months after graduation or withdrawal from school. Funding in this program is limited;
students may contact the Financial Aid Office for more information.

Federal Stafford Loan is a low interest, repayable loan available to undergraduate and graduate students regardless of
income. The interest rate is variable on Stafford loans but will not exceed 8.25%. The interest rate is adjusted each
July 1. Federal Stafford Loans allow for a six (6) month grace period before the borrower begins repayment.
Borrowers have a maximum often (10) years to repay their student loan. Loans are available through banks, credit
unions, and other lending institutions. The only qualification for receiving a Federal Stafford Loan is to meet the
eligibility requirements for financial assistance. The student is not subject to credit approval for this loan. All eligible
financial aid participants may borrow from the Federal Stafford Loan program.

The Stafford Loan Program is composed of two loan types, subsidized and unsubsidized. A subsidized loan is awarded
on the basis of financial need. Subsidized loan borrowers will not pay interest on the loan while enrolled in school,
during the grace period or during authorized periods of deferment. The federal government pays the interest. An
unsubsidized loan is not awarded on the basis of financial need. Any student regardless of income may participate in
this loan program. However, interest does accrue while the student is enrolled in school, during the grace period, and
during periods of deferment. The borrower has the options of paying the accrued interest or having the interest
capitalized. Capitalization adds the interest to the principal amount of your loan. This option will increase your loan
indebtedness.

The annual maximum awards from the Federal Stafford Loan Program are based on the borrower's classification and
dependency status as indicated in the chart below.

Georgia Student Assistance Programs

The State of Georgia provides several financial aid programs to assist residents of Georgia. Recipients of these
programs must meet financial aid eligibility and Georgia residency requirements. For most State grants, a Georgia
resident is one who has physically lived in the state for a minimum of 12 consecutive months for some purpose other
than to attend school and intends to remain in the state indefinitely. An applicant for financial aid will be considered
a resident of Georgia if he/she can demonstrate that he or she has physically resided in the state for twelve consecutive
months prior to the first date of enrollment and can provide documentation of intent to remain indefinitely. Acceptable
documentation of intent to remain indefinitely includes but is not limited to a Georgia driver's license, voter
registration card, automobile registration or other definitive evidence. Residency is established twelve months from
the date the documentation was issued. If the Evening College student is a dependent student, the residency of the
supporting parent drives the residency of the student. The Director of Financial Aid makes the final determination
of residency.

Georgia Tuition Equalization Grant is a non-need-based grant from the state to Georgia residents attending a private
college or university full-time. The annual amount is contingent upon funding by the Georgia Legislature.

HOPE Scholarship Program has provided scholarship assistance for Georgia residents since 1993. Georgia residents
who graduated from high school on or after June 1996 with a 'B' average are eligible for a $3,000 per year scholarship
to attend a Georgia private college or university. HOPE Scholars attending a private college or university must be full-
time to qualify. HOPE scholars must maintain a 3.0 grade point average for continued eligibility. HOPE Scholars will
be evaluated at increments of 45, 90, and 135 quarter hours.

Students who did not graduate from high school as a HOPE Scholar may become eligible for the HOPE Scholarship
after completing 45, 90, or 135 quarter hours. This is provided the student's cumulative grade point average is a 3.0 or
better; the student was a Georgia resident at the time of enrollment at a Georgia college or university and at the time the
student becomes eligible for the HOPE Scholarship. The calculation of grade point averages for HOPE purposes must
include all courses attempted since graduating from high school. Students who believe they qualify for this program
should contact the Director of Financial Aid for more information.

Georgia LEAP Grant is a State of Georgia need-based grant awarded to Georgia residents who qualify for Federal
Pell Grant and have substantial financial need. The annual amount is contingent upon appropriations by Congress and
the Georgia Legislature.

Law Enforcement Personnel Dependents Grants provides non-repayable grants of up to $2,000 per year to eligible
Georgia residents who are dependent children of Georgia law enforcement officers, prison guards, or firemen who were
permanently disabled or killed in the line of duty.

Disbursement of Financial Aid

Financial aid funds are credited directly to the student's account by the Business Office at the beginning of each quarter. The funds
are applied towards current tuition, fees, room, board, and other charges as authorized by the student. Financial aid recipients should
be aware that financial aid funds are for educational expenses only. Therefore, students who fail to enroll or attend classes are not
eligible for their financial aid award. Disbursements will only be made to students who have submitted all required documents for
disbursement, are registered, meeting satisfactory academic progress standards, and are enrolled for the appropriate number of
credits hours to establish eligibility for individual financial aid programs.

Disbursement of Excess Financial Aid

Students with a residual financial aid funds after tuition and other authorized charges are paid will receive a refijnd of
the remaining credit balance within 14 days of the beginning of classes or 14 days from the date the credit occurs (if
after final registration). All refunds must be retrieved from the Business Office and require a picture ID before
disbursement. If the student wishes to leave the credit balance on the account for subsequent terms, he/she may sign an
authorization form with the Business Office.

Student Financial Aid and Federal Tax Implications

Students receiving scholarships and grants that exceed their tuition, fees, book and supplies should be aware that these
funds are taxable under federal and state tax law. It is important that students maintain records of their grants and
scholarships and documentation of educational expenses for reporting purposes.

Federal tax law allows for only qualified scholarships and grants to be excluded fi-om income. Qualified scholarships
are any amount of grant and scholarship you receive that is used for tuition, fees, books, supplies and equipment
required for your course instruction. Scholarships and grants that are specifically designated for educational expenses
other that those described under qualified scholarships (room, board, transportation, or living expenses) are taxable.

Suspected Fraud

Institutions are required to report cases of suspected fraud to the Office of the Inspector General of the Department of
Education, or, if more appropriate, to the state or local law enforcement agency having jurisdiction to investigate these
allegations. Fraud may exist if the institution believes the applicant misreported or altered information in order to
increase or fraudulently obtain federal funds their financial aid eligibility.

Academic Support Services

William & Evelyn Banks Library

The librarians and staff take great pride in the high level of service that is offered at the Banks Library. Each year the
library staff receives high marks fiom faculty and students on the annual library survey. Library instruction is highly
emphasized with both individual and group instruction offered.

The Banks Library provides up-to-date resources that support the curriculum and general information needs of students
and faculty. The Online Catalog can be accessed from anywhere in the world on the WEB. Additionally, the library
makes available to students and faculty full-text databases on GALILEO plus discipline specific databases to which it
subscribes including JSTO/?, GALE'S Business and Company Resource Center, ATLAS Religion Database, CINAHL,

study carrels, video viewing-rooms, and a large conference room are also available.

The Banks Library seeks to fulfill the mission of the college through the provision of information resources and
services supporting the curriculum, co-curricular, and research needs of students and faculty.

Academic Advising

The Director of Evening College will serve as the academic advisor for all incoming Evening College students and for
students pursuing the Associate of Arts in Liberal Studies degree. After a student declares a major in Business
Administration or Human Development, a departmental faculty advisor will be assigned to work with the student
through the completion of his/her program. The advisor functions as a general resource for program information,
policies and procedures, schedule planning, etc. While faculty advisors will work closely with students in the planning
of schedules, it is the student 's responsibility to insure that all program requirements are fulfilled.

Career Development Center

Evening College students are encouraged to use the resources available in the Career Development Center. The Center
maintains current career-related materials and computer-assisted guidance programs to allow students to complete self-
assessments on skills and interests related to careers or to personal development. The Center also sponsors Job Fairs
and skill-building workshops and coordinates internship opportunities. The Career Development Center staff is
available, by appointment, to meet with interested students during evening hours.

Computer Facilities

In 1991, LaGrange College became committed to creating a fiber optic network of many computers that would allow
students and faculty to access the network anywhere on campus. The college currently has 12 computer laboratories
allowing students to access the World Wide Web from virtually any site on campus. Microcomputer labs on campus are
available for general use except when the rooms have been reserved for class use. Evening College students may find
the laboratory on the 3"^ floor of Smith Hall (room 322) most convenient for their use. The lab consists of workstations
with access to Pascal, FORTRAN, BAIC, Oracle, COBOL, SQL, and the Internet.

LaGrange College seeks to provide students with the greatest possible access to computer resources within the limits of
institutional priorities and financial capabilities, and consistent with generally accepted principles of ethics that govern
the College community. Access to computer and network facilities requires each student user to be accountable and
responsible for appropriate use of computer facilities. Students should note the following, taken from the Policy for the
Responsible Use of Information Technology. The complete Policy is printed in the LaGrange College Bulletin and is
also available in the Evening College office.*

LaGrange College computing resources and associated user accounts are to be used only for the College activities for
which they are assigned or intended. The computing systems are not to be used for any non-college related commercial
purposes, public or private, either for profit or non-profit.

Many technology resources at LaGrange College are accessed through user accounts. All users are responsible for both
the protection of their account passwords and the data stored in their user accounts. Sharing a password is prohibited.
User accounts will be deactivated when the user's affiliation with the College is terminated and all files and other data
will be removed form those accounts.

The College provides email accounts for students, faculty and staff. All course information and other official College
communication will only be sent to campus email addresses.

Microcomputer labs on the LaGrange College campus are available for general use except during the periods the rooms
have been reserved for teaching purposes. It is the responsibility of every user to use lab and public access facilities in
a responsible manner. Use of laboratory or public access facilities to view material that may be considered offensive to
others, which includes but is not limited to racially hateful and sexually explicit material, is considered a form of
harassment. The viewing of harassing material is inconsistent with Mission of LaGrange College. Viewing such
harassing material in a lab or public access areas can result in disciplinary action.

Tutoring Center

The Student Tutoring Center is located on the 5"^ floor of Henry Hall. Peer tutors are available each evening to provide
assistance in English, mathematics, history, science, and other courses in the general education curriculum. Student
tutors are available Monday through Thursday and Sunday evenings from 6:00 p.m. until 9:00 p.m. There is a
mathematics lab, and assistance for subjects including science, history, and literature.

Writing Center

The Writing Center is designed to provide a service to students who would like individualized help with their writing. It
is directed by an English Department faculty member, and staffed by undergraduates who have proven to be especially
proficient in their writing skills. Students are encouraged to visit the Center to conference about the writing process, to
brainstorm topics with peers, or to work with other writers on essays, research papers, and other assignments. The
Center is open for appointments, and for drop-in visits, weekdays until 9:00 p.m.

spiritual and social development. LaGrange College sponsors a variety of cultural events and recreational activities for
the enjoyment of students and their families. The College also provides programs designed to support every dimension
of students' well-being. We welcome and encourage student participation in all campus programs.

In addition to providing a positive climate for growth and development, LaGrange College is committed to fostering an
honorable standard of conduct for all within our community. The college regulations are formulated to meet changing
student needs within the framework of college policy. These regulations are effective when the student enrolls. The
specific policies with regard to student conduct are reviewed with all new students during orientation. In addition, the
statement of conduct is published in the LaGrange College Bulletin and the Student Handbook and Panther Planner.

Development and Well Being

All new students are invited to the Evening College Orientation. This event introduces students to campus policies,
procedures, and resources and to the staff who are available to support and advise throughout the course of the
program. Small group sessions allow new and returning students to meet and share in order to encourage discussion of
the transition to college life.

The Office of the Chaplain coordinates chapel services held each Sunday evening at 10 p.m. when college is in
session. These spirited worship services provide opportunity for celebration, for reflection, and for fellowship with
other students. Rev. Quincy Brown is also available for individual counseling in his office in Smith Hall.

The Counseling Office located on the first floor of Smith Hall offers counseling in a variety of areas. Students needing
a confidential resource for short-term counseling should contact Director Pamela Scotto. Areas in which counseling is
offered include stress reduction, conflict resolution, substance abuse, and interpersonal relations.

The facilities of the Aquatics Complex are available for recreational and lap swimming year-round. In addition, the
facilities and equipment of the Physical Education Department are available for recreational use when not otherwise
scheduled for instructional, athletic, or intramural use. Hours for the fitness center, gymnasium, and pool, will be

students to take a few minutes to unwind and relax with fellow students. The date for each coffee is announced via
campus e-mail.

Academic Policies

Class Attendance

Students are expected to attend all class sessions including labs, for all courses. If a student must be absent, all matters
related to student absence, including makeup work, must be arranged with the professor. Each course syllabus makes a
clear statement about policies related to absences. Please note that excessive absences may resuh in an administrative
withdrawal with a grade of "W " or " WF".

Students are expected to be present for all quizzes or final examinations, unless the reasons for absences are acceptable
to the professor.

Course Registration

Pre-registration is conducted several weeks before the onset of each new term. While students are encouraged to register
online via PantherNet, they are required to contact their advisor first to discuss their academic progress and their
intended schedule. The advisor hold will be removed - allowing the student to self-register - only after the conversation
with the advisor has occurred.

As a general policy. Evening students may not register for classes offered on the Day schedule. The Evening College is
a separate and distinct program whose academic calendar and tuition schedules differ from those offered during the day.
Students with a compelling need to request enrollment in a Day course must meet with the academic advisor first, and
then complete an Academic Petition form for review and consideration by the Vice President for Academic Affairs and
Dean.

Fall Enrichment Term

Beginning in the fall of 2004, the Evening College program includes a Fall Enrichment Term. The 3 V2 week mini-term
is designed to enrich students' learning experience through elective study of significant topics not included in the
regular general education or major curriculum. Course offerings will vary each year, but may include such topics as
Southern Women: Fact and Fiction, Global Food Production and World Hunger, Spanish Intensive, Business in
Literature, Introduction to E-Commerce, and Media Communication.

All students who enroll later than summer 2004 must include two fall enrichment courses in their schedule; students are
encouraged to enroll during their fi^eshman and sophomore years. Students who matriculated prior to fall 2004 are
required to complete one enrichment course in their academic experience. The term runs from mid-November through
early December, and, for financial aid purposes, is considered to be included as a part of the fall quarter.

Grades and Credits

The definitions of grades given at LaGrange College are as follows:

A - superior

B - above average

C - average

D - below average

F - failing

I - incomplete. This is a temporary grade, assigned by the instructor if a student is doing satisfactory work and, for
reasons beyond the student's control, cannot complete the work for the quarter.

NC - no credit

W - withdrawn. An automatic ' W is given if the student withdraws after the end of drop and add but before the
completion of three weeks of class. After the deadline for automatic withdrawal passes, the instructor will assign a 'W
or a 'WF' depending upon the student's status.

WF - withdrawn, failing

AW - audit, withdrawn

AU - audit, complete

NR - grade not reported by the instructor

Declaration of Major

A student may declare his/her academic major after successfully completing 22 quarter hours. Students must declare a
major by the time they have completed 75 quarter hours of course work. The declaration of major is initiated in the
Evening College office, and must be signed by the student's academic advisor and by the appropriate department chair.
The major requirements are based on the Bulletin in effect when the major is declared, not on the Bulletin of entry.

Honor Code

Students at LaGrange College sign the Honor Code, which states.

As a member of the student body of LaGrange College, I confirm my commitment to the ideals of civility,
diversity, service, and excellence. Recognizing the significance of personal integrity in establishing these ideals
within our community, I pledge that I will not lie, cheat, steal, nor tolerate these unethical behaviors in others.

The Honor Council, composed often students, deals with students accused of violating the Honor Code. The Honor
Council is selected each spring by the outgoing Chair of the Honor Council, The Dean of Students, and the Vice
President for Academic Affairs and Dean. A member of the faculty serves as advisor. In endorsing the Honor Code,
the faculty agreed to report any suspected violation of the Honor Code to the Honor Council, either through the Vice
President for Academic Affairs and Dean or the Chair of the Honor Council. Members of the faculty are therefore
expected to report all suspected violations of the Honor Code. The Honor Code assumes that any student witnessing or
otherwise having knowledge of an Honor Code violation will report the violation to the course instructor, the Chair of
the Honor Council, or the Vice President for Academic Affairs and Dean. (For a complete description of the Honor
Code, please see the Student Handbook.)

The following are violations of the Honor Code:

1 . Lying in any academic matter.

2. Cheating by either giving aid to or receiving aid fi'om a student or other source without the consent of the faculty
member or plagiarizing (using another person's words or ideas without documenting them properly).

3. Failure to report a violation of the Honor Code.

4. Failure to appear before the Honor Council as requested by written notice.

5. Failure to maintain confidentiality regarding an Honor Council case.
Sanctions include:

assigning a grade of zero to the related academic work (assignments, tests, case study, etc.);

lowering the final grade in the course by one letter or

a grade of "F" in the course;

suspension for one academic term; or

dismissal from the College.

An investigation and hearing shall be confidential and those within the bounds of confidentiality shall not divulge
anything that is said or done with regard to these proceedings to anyone outside the bounds of confidentiality. Should
anyone outside the bounds of confidentiality receive information which is considered to be confidential, he or she will
automatically be bound by confidentiality. Those within the bounds of confidentiality include Council members, the
faculty advisor to the Council, the Vice President for Academic Affairs and Dean, the President, accusers, the accused,
witnesses, persons interviewed during the investigation, victims, and the College's attorney. In addition, the accused
may include within the bounds of confidentiality his or her parents, faculty, staff, minister, personal or legal counsel.

All tests at the College are conducted under the Honor Code. Accordingly, instructors may leave the room during the
examination and students are on their honor to do their own work. The Honor Code should be abbreviated on the
outside of the test and signed by the student before handing in the examination. The student should leave all books and
materials not pertaining to the test either in the hall outside the classroom, or next to the wall in front of the classroom.
Students should take the test in the designated classroom, except under extenuating circumstances or by prior
arrangement.

Work prepared out of class should be that of the individual. Any assistance from fellow students, books, periodicals, or
other materials should be carefully acknowledged. Instructors should give specific guidance regarding what constitutes
a violation of the Honor Code. If any doubts about plagiarism arise, a question should be raised by the instructor.

A student should never copy a section of an old term paper and submit it as his or her own, and the student should be
guided in the use of these materials by the wishes of the instructor. The instructor should provide specific written and/
or verbal guidelines regarding the use of these materials.

As early as possible in the term, the instructor should make clear to his or her classes how the specifications of the
Honor Code apply to class requirements. For example, what constitutes a legitimate use of source material, especially
material on the Internet, should be made clear. With all their devotion to declared ideals, students are still subject to the
pressures of academic competition. They deserve the protection and encouragement of the faculty.

Student Appeals

There are processes by which students may petition regarding academic issues, including Academic Forgiveness, Grade
Appeals, and Appeal of Academic Policy. The procedures are detailed in the LaGrange College Bulletin and summary
information is also maintained in the Evening College Office.

Student Status

Student status is determined based on successful completion of credit hours, per the following.

Freshman 1 - 45 hours

Sophomore 46-89 hours

Junior 90-134 hours

Senior 135 or more hours

Students may declare their academic major after completion of 22 quarter hours. Please note that no grade below 'C" in
any course about the 100 level may be applied toward a major.

180 hours are required for completion of the degrees in Business Administration and Human Development. The general
education curriculum - 101 credit hours - are required for the completion of the Associate of Arts degree in Liberal
Studies degree.

Transcripts

Students are provided transcripts of their academic record free of charge. Requests should be made in writing to the
Registrar's Office well in advance of the date needed. No transcript will be issued to a student under financial
obligation to the College.

Degree Requirements

Evening College offers the Bachelor of Arts degree in Business Administration, the Bachelor of Arts degree in Human
Development, and the Associates of Arts degree in Liberal Studies. To obtain the Business Administration degree or
Human Development, a student must complete 180 quarter hours including the General Education curriculum and

Liberal Studies degree is the terminal degree will satisfy their requirement upon successful completion of the 101 -hour
general education curriculum and the Academic Profiles test. Students who have declared a major in Liberal Studies
concurrent with a bachelor's degree program are exempt ft^om the Academic Profile test until the final term of their
B.A. program.

Candidates for degrees must earn, at a minimum, a 2.0 quality point average. The QPA is determined by multiplying
the grade point by the course credit, summing, and then dividing the total quality points earned by the total GPA hours.
Quality points are assessed as follows: A-4, B-3, C-2, D-1, F-0.

Candidates must also meet the residency requirements for Evening College. Generally, B.A. candidates must
