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.

Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Music, Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Business Administration, Bachelor of Science in Nursing,
Master of Education, and Master of Arts in Teaching.

LaGrange College is also approved by the United Methodist University Senate. It has membership in the National Association of
Independent Colleges and Universities and the Georgia Foundation for Independent Colleges.

The Georgia Professional Standards Commission, which confers professional certificates upon college graduates meeting
requirements in early childhood, middle grades, or secondary education, has awarded highest approval to LaGrange College's
program of teacher education.

The Bachelor of Science in Nursing program is accredited by the National League for Nursing.

The undergraduate program in business administration is accredited by the Association of Collegiate Business Schools

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. Minors in Sociology and Human Resource Management
are 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 www.lagrange.edu.
The application requires completion of both biographical and academic information, as well as a thoughtfiil 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 careftilly 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 admission will be extended to those applicants who meet all of the requirements for admission; enrollment will normally be
effective at the beginning of the ne.xt 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 successful 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 fransient 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 fransfer 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 wrH 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.

impact of a complete withdrawal.

See page 20 (Disbursement of Excess Financial Aid) for the refund policies for students receiving financial aid.

11

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 tuifion, 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 2005-2006 academic year is $20,665.

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.

12

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

AS^tS^

Junior

1.85

Senior

2.00

Quantitative Standard

Students receiving funds from any of the financial programs covered under this policy must demonsfrate 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 regisfration. Grades of A, B, C, or D are considered as successful completion of a course. Grades of F,
W, WF, NR, or 1 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 ma.ximum 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.

13

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 all 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,
ftiture 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

Financial aid applications for the upcoming academic year are available beginning January 1 in the financial aid office or on
the web at www.fafsa.ed.gov or www.gsfc.org .

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 result 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. Students who are HOPE eligible, whether enrolled on a full-time or part-time
basis, may also qualify for assistance.

14

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 full-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, with rates of 4.70% for
the 2005-2006 academic year. 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. Only the dependent student amounts may be subsidized. The additional $4,000 for freshmen
and sophomores and the additional $5,000 for juniors and seniors are unsubsidized funds.

Classification Dependent Independent

Freshmen $2,625.00 $6,625.00*

Sophomores $3,500.00 $7,500.00*

Junior and Seniors $5,500.00 $10,500.00*

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 scholarship to attend a Georgia private college
or university. HOPE Scholars attending a private college or university are eligible for $1000 per quarter if full-time, and $500 per
quarter is enrolled half-time. 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 confingent 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.

16

Disbursement of Excess Financial Aid

Students with a residual financial aid funds after tuition and other authorized charges are paid will receive a refund 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 from 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 Genera! 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 from 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, AMICO, and more.

Separate Education and Music & Art areas in the library provide easy access to librar>' materials for those disciplines in a
comfortable, user-friendly environment. A Multi-Media Center provides access to the Internet, word processing, presentation
software, E-MAIL, and the library's electronic resources. During hours that the library is open a scanner, computer projector, digital
camera, and multi-media workstations are available for student use. Group study rooms, 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 fiinctions 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.

18

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 ft^om 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 brainstomi 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.

Student Life

Evening College is committed to providing a positive environment that attends to a student's intellectual, emotional, 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 spir-
ited 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 Tremblay. 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 facilifies 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 posted each term. A valid LaGrange College ID
is required for admittance to all facilities.

Events and Activities

this celebration.

The Student Government Association sponsors occasional study breaks for Evening students each term to encourage students to take
a few minutes to unwind and relax with fellow students. The date for each coffee is announced via campus e-mail.

Associations

LaGrange College chartered a student chapter of the Society for Human Resource Management in 2005. Student SHRM is an or-
ganizational modeled after national SHRM, an association created to both advance and support professionals with careers in the hu-
man resource field. The student chapter, hosted by West Georgia SHRM, is designed to supplement classroom education with real-
world knowledge and hands-on HR experience through guest speakers, site visits, and monthly networking opportunities. Student
members are eligible for SHRM scholarships, and graduates receive a significant discount when sitting for the PHR examination.

Alpha Sigma Lambda is the national adult honor society, founded in 1945 and dedicated to honoring the achievement of adult un-
dergraduates who model academic excellence in the midst of managing many other areas of their lives. From among those who meet
the G.P.A. requirement (3.4 minimum cumulative average with at least 40 institutional quarter hours), only 10% of nontraditional
students are invited to join. New members are inducted into the Kappa Iota chapter each spring during a special ceremony at Sunny
Gables.

Recent Alpha Sigma Lambda inductees:

Mary Lynn Witter and family (2005), bot-
tom, Mariea Campbell and favorite faculty
member, Mrs. Louise Denney (2005).

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 (as determined by the instructor) may result 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 that of the Day program. 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

In the fall of 2004, the Evening College added a Fall Enrichment Term to the academic program. The 3 Yi 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, and Introduction to E-Commerce.

All students who enroll later than summer 2004 must include two fall enrichment courses in their schedule; students are encouraged
to enroll during their freshman 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 I - incomplete. This is a temporary grade, assigned by the instructor if a student is

doing B - above average satisfactory work and, for reasons beyond the student's control, cannot complete

C - average the work for the quarter.

D - below average W - withdrawn. An automatic ' W is given if the student withdraws after the end of
F - failing drop and add but before the completion of three weeks of class. After the

NC - no credit deadline for automatic withdrawal passes, the instructor will assign a ' W or a

WF - withdrawn, failing 'WF' depending upon the student's status.

AW - audit, withdrawn

AU - audit, complete

NR - grade not reported by the instructor

22

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, diver-
sity, service, and excellence. Recognizing the significance of personal integrity in establishing these ideals
within our community, I pledge that 1 will not lie, cheat, steal, nor tolerate these unethical behaviors in others.

The Honor Code is the responsibility of every student, faculty member, and staff member at LaGrange College. All mem-
bers of the College community are needed to support the enforcement of the Code which prohibits lying, cheating, or steal-
ing when those actions involve academic processes.

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 Af-
fairs and Dean. A member of the faculty serves as advisor. In endorsing the Honor Code, the faculty agreed to report any sus-
pected 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.

The following are violations of the Honor Code:

1 . Lying in any academic matter.

2. Cheating by either giving aid to or receiving aid from 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;

A grade of "F" in the course;

Suspension for one academic term (excluding Summer);

Dismissal from the College.

Student Rights:

To be presumed innocent

To a fair, impartial, and timely hearing

To face and question any witnesses at a hearing

To testify and present material on one's own behalf

To a separate hearing upon request

To subsequent appeal

23

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 Aca-
demic 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. The students should expect to write the pledge (or and abbreviated ver-
sion of the pledge, on the outside of the examinations. The Academic Honor Pledge states: 1 pledge that I have neither given nor
received unauthorized aid on this assignment or examination, nor have I witnessed any violation of the Honor Code. Accordingly,
instructors may leave the room during the examination and students are on their honor to do their own work. Since all students are
pledged to abide by the Honor Code, instructors may leave their room during an examination and students are on their honor to do
their own work. 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 circum-
stances or by prior arrangement.

For a complete description of the Honor Code, please see the Student Handbook, or the Student Honor Code Handbook 2005-2006.

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 Of-
fice well in advance of the date needed. No transcript will be issued to a student under financial obligation to the College.

24

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 or Human Development degree, a

student must complete 180 quarter hours including the General Education curriculum and major courses; a departmental assessment
and the Academic Profile test are also required. Students for whom the Liberal Studies degree is the terminal degree will satisfy their
requirement upon successful completion of the 101-hour general education curriculum and the Academic Profile test. Students who
have declared a major in Liberal Studies concurrent with a bachelor's degree program are exempt from 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 accomplish the last 60
hours in Evening College. With the approval of the Vice President for Academic Affairs and Dean, students may earn 15 hours of
transient credit during their final 90 hours.

Candidates for the associate degree must accomplish the last 30 hours in Evening College.

While each student will work with a faculty advisor to plan her/his academic program, the ultimate responsibility for insuring
that all degree requirements are accomplished rests with the student

Business Administration

Within the context of a Hberal arts environment, the Business Administration curriculum is designed to aid the student in developing
a fundamental understanding of the nature, purposes and interdependencies of business systems and the socioeconomic environments
in which they operate. The division prepares majors for employment in a wide variety of organizations and provides the background
needed for entry to graduate or professional schools.

Following are the expected learning outcomes for our majors. Students will learn:

to acquire an intrinsic desire to attain new knowledge - a curiosity about the world around them

to understand generally accepted business principles and concepts and the ability to integrate across sub-disciplines

to think creatively and critically, to formulate logical arguments and to make connections between different ideas

to formulate and defend ethical judgments

to communicate effectively and in a professional manner

to work successfully in a diverse and complex workplace

to accept ambiguity and uncertainty as a reality of life
