About LaGrange College
Purpose and Objectives
The fundamental purpose of LaGrange College, a church-related institution
fostering Christian values, is to provide an education grounded in the liberal
arts which will open students' minds to the adventure of higher learning and
will enable them to discover what is excellent in life. Its aim is to produce
graduates prepared to accept responsibilities of leadership in contemporary
society, who approach the opportunities as well as the problems of modern life
with depths of knowledge, understanding, and feeling, and with sound
perspectives of time, place, and circumstance.
To fulfill this purpose the College offers to its students opportunities to gain
knowledge and experience in the arts and sciences that will stimulate interest,
create enlightenment, and promote further inquiry; to develop vocational
goals; and to begin related preparation.
To achieve its objectives the College strives
to attract students who, through scholastic achievement and personal
motivation, have indicated their ability and desire to undertake a college pro-
gram, and who recognize and acceptthe purpose and objectives of the College;
to maintain a professionally competent faculty whose members provide
leadership in teaching-learning experiences, and who serve as scholarly models
for student development through intellectual and cultural attainments and pur-
suits, through high standards of character, and through constructive involve-
ment in campus and community life;
to provide flexible programs which will inspire students to attain maxi-
mum intellectual development, and which will broaden outlooks on life;
to help each student to know himself, and to develop as a physically
healthy and emotionally, socially, and spiritually mature person;
to emphasize undergraduate liberal education foremost, but also to offer
within the liberal arts context certain compatible professional and pre-
professional curricula, and to offer graduate studies at the master's level to meet
special needs within the limits of the resources of the College;
to lead in the academic inquiry into various facets of contemporary soci-
ety and to exert a constructive influence in the community through intellectual,
cultural, and social leadership by offering educational opportunities to area
citizens, and by encouraging faculty, staff, and student participation in commu-
nity affairs;
to promote growth in resources at a rate which will preserve the eco-
nomic well-being of the College, support existing educational programs, facili-

tate changes in programs to meet changing needs, and sustain improvement in
quality.
LaGrange College seeks to attain these objectives for all who aspire to a col-
lege education and admits students of any race, color, creed, sex, or national
and ethnic origin, and grants to each student all the rights, privileges, programs,
and activities generally accorded or made available by the College. It does not
discriminate with respect to such matters in the administration of its educational
policies, admissions procedures, scholarship and loan programs, or athletic
and other school-administered activities.
Adopted by Faculty, Administration, and Board of Trustees, 1981 .
History and Description
The history of LaGrange College is closely associated with the history of the
City of LaGrange and Troup County. When the vast tract of land lying between
the Flint and Chattahoochee Rivers was secured by the Indian Springs Treaty of
1 825 and was opened for settlement in 1827, one of the five counties formed on
the western border of the state was named Troup in honor of Governor George
Michael Troup.
An act was passed by the Georgia Legislature on December 24, 1827, provid-
ing for the selection of a county seat. It was named LaGrange after the country
estate of the Marquis de Lafayette, American Revolutionary War hero who had
visited the region in 1825 as the guest of Governor Troup. The site for the town
of LaGrange was purchased in 1828 and the town was incorporated on
December 18, 1828. On December 26, 1831, the charter for the LaGrange
Female Academy was granted at the state capitol, then in Milledgeville.
In 1831 Andrew Jackson was president of the United States. Abraham Lincoln
was 22 years old. The Creek Indians had been moved out of this area of the
state only six years earlier. The only other college in the state was Franklin Col-
lege, now the University of Georgia.
In 1847 the charter for the school was amended and the school became The
LaGrange Female Institute, with power to confer degrees. The name was
changed to LaGrange Female College in 1851 and in 1934 it was changed to
LaGrange College. The college became officially co-educational in 1953.
The first location of the school was in a large white building at what is now
406 Broad Street. The school moved to its present location "On The Hill," the
highest geographical point in LaGrange, after the construction of the building
now known as Smith Hall in 1842.
The college was sold to the Georgia Conference of the Methodist Episcopal
Church South in 1856. Today it is an institution of the North Georgia
Conference of The United Methodist Church.

About LaGrange College
Strong in the liberal arts, LaGrange College has an outstanding reputation in
eight pre-professional programs, including pre-medical and allied fields, pre-
law, pre-theology, and engineering.
LaGrange College offers the Bachelor of Arts degree with twenty-one majors,
the Bachelor of Business Administration with three concentration areas, and
the Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science. The Master of Business
Administration degree and the Master of Education degree in Early Childhood
are offered. Associate of Arts degree is offered in eight areas.
LaGrange College operates on the quarter system. In addition to the day
schedule of classes in the fall, winter and spring quarters, there is an evening
session. There are also both day and evening sessions in the summer.
The college draws more than half of its student body from Georgia. With
students from more than one-third of the states and from several foreign coun-
tries, the college has a cosmopolitan and international representation which in-
cludes various religious and ethnic backgrounds.
While proud of its heritage, the college continues to add to and improve its
curriculum and facilities to meet the needs of its students today. LaGrange Col-
lege originated the plan for students to complete fall quarter before Thanksgiv-
ing and have a 40-day holiday break. Georgia's leader in granting academic
credit through the College Level Examination Program, the college also offers
travel seminars, field study programs and internships. The drama department
has a resident summer stock theatre company at Callaway Gardens, nearby
resort in Pine Mountain. Students in the college's nursing division receive
supervised training in many area medical facilities. Campus art exhibitions, lec-
tures, concerts, varsity and intramural sports add to the cultural enrichment
and recreational opportunities offered by the college.
The college is located in the town of LaGrange, Georgia, which has a popula-
tion of 28,000. Nearby are Callaway Gardens, the Warm Springs Foundation
and Franklin D. Roosevelt's Little White House. The West Point Dam on the
Chattahoochee River provides one of the largest lakes in the region, with
waterfronts and marina within the city limits of LaGrange.
Accreditation
As a coeducational, four-year liberal arts college, LaGrange College is fully
accredited by the Commission on Colleges Southern Association of Colleges
and Schools, approved by the Methodist University Senate, and has member-
ship in the National Association of Independent Colleges and universities, the
National Association of Methodist Colleges, the Georgia Association of Col-
leges, The American Alumni Council, the Georgia Foundation for Independent
Colleges, and the Association of Private Colleges and Universities in Georgia.
The Georgia State Board of Education, which confers professional certificates
upon college graduates meeting requirements in elementary or secondary
About LaGrange College
education, has awarded highest approval to LaGrange College's program of
teacher education.
The National League for Nursing, the officially recognized agency for associ-
ate degree nursing programs by the Council on Postsecondary Accreditation,
has awarded (highest) accreditation to LaGrange College's nursing program.
Sessions of the College
The College operates on the quarter system. Each quarter is about ten weeks
long. There are four quarters: fall, winter, spring and summer. In the summer
quarter, day classes are divided into two five-week terms. A student may elect
to attend either or both of the summer sessions. Evening classes in the summer
quarter run continuously through the summer quarter.
Both day and evening classes are available during each of these four
quarters. The day and evening classes are sessions of the same academic pro-
gram; however, with the exception of a limited number of majors it is necessary
to attend day classes at some time in order to complete degree requirements.

Scores from either the SAT (administered by the College Entrance Examination
Board) or ACT (administered by the American College Testing Program) are re-
quired of all freshman applicants. Test results should normally be sent to
LaGrange College in November, December, or January of the last year in high
school.
Mature students with an irregular educational background may qualify for
admission by achieving satisfactory scores on the tests of General Educational
Development, High School Level.
LaGrange College predicts a student's grade point average using a formula
which takes into account verbal and math scores on the SAT and the student's
high school grade point average. Students are admitted as "clear accept" if
they are predicted to be successful in the academic programs of LaGrange Col-
lege.
Clear Accept: The majority of LaGrange College students are accepted
under the clear accept category.
Early Admission: Early admission is possible for students who will have com-
pleted the junior year of high school. To qualify, a student must have a B+ or
better high school average in his academic courses, have ten of the eleven
prescribed units, and have a total of fifteen units. Also to qualify, a student must
16
Admissions
have a minimum score on the College Board SAT of 1050 combined or a com-
posite score of 25 on the ACT. A minimum of 500 on the Verbal SAT or a
minimum of 24 in the English subject area of the ACT is desirable. An interview
is required of all early admissions students.
Joint Enrollment: Recognizing that there is an increasing number of high
school students beginning their twelfth grade who need only one or two
academic units to graduate and who very often lack sufficient challenge,
LaGrange College has adopted a policy for Joint Enrollment at both the College
and the student's high school. To be eligible, a student must meet the dear-
accept standard of the Admission policy and be recommended in writing by
the proper authority at the student's high school.
On-Trial Program: This program is for applicants who are unable to qualify
for dear-accept admission to LaGrange College, but who appear to have the
potential to succeed. All courses taken are for full credit. Students in this pro-
gram must earn a grade point average of 1 .0 during the first quarter or in the first
1 5 hours of college work. Further information is available from the Director of
Admissions.
Transfer Students: A student who has been in attendance at another institu-
tion may apply for transfer to LaGrange College if he is eligible to return to that
institution at the time of entry to LaGrange College. Normally, transfer students
who have the A.A. Degree or an equivalent degree from an accredited junior
college will be exempt from LaGrange College General Requirements if the
A.A. Degree included courses in Math and English. A student may be accepted
on probation under the standard probation regulations. All records, including
transcripts of all college work attempted, must be complete before the student
is admitted to LaGrange College. Applicants may enroll at the beginning of any
quarter. Acceptable credit from a junior college is limited to 95 quarter hours.
Transient Students: Students currently enrolled in good standing at another
college, may enroll at LaGrange College as transient students. Approval of
course work must be authorized by the primary institution on the Application
for Transient Status which is available from the Admissions Office.
Special Students: Students not working toward a degree may register as spe-
cial students in any course for which they have the necessary prerequisites. An
application for Special Student Status may be obtained through the Admissions
Office. Students classed as Special Students may become Regular Students by
meeting requirements for regular admission.
17
Admissions
Readmission Students: Following an absence from LaGrange College of one
or more quarters, other than the Summer Quarter, any student who decides to
return must submit an Application for Readmission. This form is available from
the Admissions Office.
Foreign Students: In the past few years the College has hosted students from
Norway, New Zealand, Japan, Korea, Kuwait, Venezuela, Ghana, Thailand,
Canada, and Brazil. While the foreign students' number is never very large, the
College has developed special programs for many of these students.
Admission as a foreign student requires a TOEFL examination with a
minimum score of 450 for students for whom English is not their first language.
Also required are translated and certified documents attesting to academic per-
formances in secondary school and university, if applicable. The Director of
Admissions should be contacted for the current interpretation of the regula-
tions concerning obtaining a Student Visa. If the prospective student is in the
United States, an interview at the College is desirable and may often be
substituted for a TOEFL score.

ment Office.

such as open houses, movie nights, decorating contests and other special
events.
34
Student Life
Student Government Activities
The Student Government Association exists to serve as a medium for student
expressions, to coordinate campus activities, to promote good citizenship and
to govern within the parameters granted by the President of the College. The
SGA is an important part of student life. Upon matriculation into the college, a
student automatically becomes a member of the association. All students are
encouraged to become active members, so that the association is a truly
representative body of student thought and opinion, voicing the needs and
concerns of the student body.
The SGA is charged with responsibility of planning and presenting student
entertainment programs. They sponsor concerts, dances, movies, ski trips and
many other special events. Student publications are supported by the SGA;

women's volleyball, softball and tennis and men's basketball, soccer, baseball
and tennis.
The athletic program is affiliated with the National Association of Inter-
collegiate Athletics (NAIA) and is assigned to District 25. This affiliation permits
LaGrange College athletes to receive state, regional and national recognition
for their accomplishments.
Intramurals
The aim of the intramural programs is to provide each student with the op-
portunity to participate in his/her favorite type of competition and to explore
and enjoy sports that may be new to him/her. There is a wide range of in-
tramural activities to choose from year round that includes volleyball, basket-
ball, softball, tennis, badminton and many others. In addition the college main-
tains a well-equipped exercise room for the use of individuals and groups.

Student Conduct
LaGrange College, as a church-related college, is committed to an honorable
and seemly standard of conduct. As an educational institution the college is
concerned not only with the formal in-class education of its students, but also
with their welfare and their growth into mature men and women who conduct
themselves responsibly as citizens.
Regulations of the college are formulated to meet changing student needs
within the framework of college policy. These regulations become effective
when the student enrolls. Some regulations may not be agreeable to everyone
because they have been formulated to meet the needs of the entire group. This
however, does not lessen the individual's obligation to uphold them. Regula-
tions do not have as their primary purpose the punishment of the individual.
The regulations are formulated to insure the right of all community members to
have the best possible living and learning conditions.
The college reserves the right to dismiss at any time a student who, in its judg-
ment, is undesirable and whose continuation in the school is detrimental to
himself or his fellow students.
Furthermore, students are subject to federal, state and local laws as well as
college rules and regulations.
A student is not entitled to greater immunities before the law than those en-
joyed by other citizens generally. Students are subject to such disciplinary ac-
tion as the Administration of the College may consider appropriate, including
possible suspension and expulsion for breach of federal, state or local laws, or
college regulations. This principle extends to conduct off-campus which is
likely to have adverse effect on the college or on the educational process or
which stamps the offender as an unfit associate for the other students. A com-
plete description of student conduct policies, rules and regulations can be
found in Hilltopics, the student handbook.
37
Student Life
Student Health Services
Under the Student Health Program resident students are provided care by a
registered nurse in the student day clinic. The nurse is on duty from 8:30 a.m. to
5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday and for emergency calls at other times. The
nurse assists the students in securing a physician if needed. The services of the
nurse and the use of the day clinic are available to dormitory students only.
Charges for X-rays, prescriptions, hospital charges, and fees of physicians or
surgeons to whom a student is referred are the responsibility of the student.
Private nurses and personal physicians must be paid for by the student. All
students must have proof of medical insurance. For those not having coverage
through individual or group plans, LaGrange College makes available accident
and sickness coverage through a private carrier at reasonable rates. Application
forms are available at registration or through the Business Office.
Orientation
A highlight for new students is a program of Orientation introducing them to
campus life at LaGrange College. Activities and programs during Orientation
give administration, faculty and returning students an opportunity to welcome
all new students. Faculty, student development staff, administration and stu-
dent leaders conduct programs to acquaint new students with the academic,
co-curricular and social life of the college.
Career Resource Center
The Career Resource Center is located in the Student Development Office
complex. It contains up-to-date career-related materials, occupational informa-
tion, and a microcomputer with programs to assist students discover their oc-
cupational interests.
Counseling and Testing
Counseling is available to LaGrange College students in a variety of areas.
The goal is to assist students in gaining an understanding of themselves so they
are better able to make informed personal, academic and vocational choices.
In addition to individual counseling, group programs are available on topics
such as Study Skills, Test Anxiety Reduction, Career Planning, etc. A broad
range of career exploration is available to the individual student at no cost.
The Office of Student Development also administers the Scholastic Aptitude
Test (SAT), and the College Level Examination Program, as part of the College's
38
Student Life
Advanced Placement Program. In addition, information about other national
testing programs, e.g. as the Graduate Record Exam (GRE) and the National
Teacher Exam (NTE) is available in that office.
Vehicle Registration
To insure efficient control of traffic and parking on campus and the safety of
all persons and vehicles, each vehicle must be registered and must have an af-
fixed current decal. These decals are issued without cost to students, along with
a copy of existing parking regulations.
Student Review of Decisions
Recognizing that decisions must be made and that some students may feel
aggrieved by some decisions, LaGrange College provides the following pro-
cedures:
A student must first attempt to resolve an issue with the college staff member
first rendering a decision. If this does not resolve the issue, a decision rendered
by a college staff member may be appealed by a student as follows:
I. Student Life:
(a) A disciplinary decision rendered by a duly constituted student judicial
board may be appealed to the Dean of Student Development. Disci-
plinary decisions rendered originally by the Dean of Student Develop-
ment may be appealed to the Student Affairs Committee. If a disciplin-
ary decision is appealed by a student, it must be done in writing within
twenty-four hours after receipt of the original decision.
(b) Other grievances in the area of student life may be appealed to the
Dean of Student Development. If the grievance involves an original
decision rendered by the Dean of Student Development, the decision
may be appealed to the Student Affairs Committee.
II. Financial Aid:
Decisions by the Director of Financial Aid may be appealed to the Student
Affairs Committee.
III. Academic Matters. See page 56.

Academic Program and Degree Requirements
Graduate Programs
LaGrange College offers programs of study culminating in the Master of Edu-
cation degree and the Master of Business Administration degree.
See the description of these programs in the Departments and Courses sec-
tion, page 67.
Requirements for the A.A. Degrees
Programs of study leading to the Associate of Arts degree are designed to
meet these needs: (1) students who at present do not see a four-year degree
program as an immediate objective; (2) out-of-school youths who have decided
that college-level work with a degree potential, achievable in a shorter period
of time, is a part of their career orientation; (3) mature people who desire college-
level work for life fulfillment and need definite objectives as motivation; and
(4) any employed person who seeks specific learning opportunities for career
advancement.
A 2.0 qualifying point average overall, as well as in course work taken at
LaGrange College, is required for graduation. To be eligible for the degree, a
student must have earned a cumulative average of 2.0 or better.
To meet these needs LaGrange College has designed two-year curricula cul-
minating in the A.A. degree in which a minimum of 30 quarter hours of credit
must be earned in residence.
A.A. DEGREE IN GENERAL STUDIES
I. General Requirements as now constituted.
II. Concentration of a minimum of 30 quarter hours in chosen field.
Special Institutes/Continuing Education
LaGrange College coordinates and initiates special institutes and continuing
education activities. These activities include work with area and state churches,
industries, health care facilities and businesses. For certain of these activities the
College gives continuing education units (C.E.U.).
47
Academic Regulations
Orientation and Counseling
All new students are introduced to LaGrange College through an orientation
program which takes place at the beginning of each quarter. The orientation
program is designed to acquaint the new students with various phases of the life
of the College including traditions, procedures, and regulations. It is believed
that all students will profit from a proper introduction to the opportunities and
responsibilities of college life.
Freshman Seminar deals with the elements of learning and decision-making
not covered in the traditional curricular structure that are essential to the stu-
dent's educational process. These include the selection of courses, study skills,
making long-term educational plans, placing course work in a broader context
of student development, dealing with personal difficulties, and adjusting to the
inadequacies in pre-college preparation. To help students at LaGrange College
face these issues in an organized way, Freshman Seminar is taught. This one-
hour course provides an opportunity for freshmen to work with faculty and
other students in the consideration of issues designed to assist them in making
decisions and in dealing with the many interrelated problems that have a bear-
ing on their academic career.
Academic Advising
All students in LaGrange College are assigned academic advisers whoare well
versed in college requirements. In addition to assistance with current regula-
tions and degree requirements, advisers can also provide useful information on
long-range academic goals. Career planning, testing, and personal counseling
are available from the staff of the Student Development Office.
Registration and Academic Advisers
All students must register on the dates specified. Failure to register on the
proper dates may subject the student to a $20 late-registration fee. All registra-
tion procedures for all quarters are under the direction of the Academic Dean.
Each student is assigned to a faculty adviser, who assists the student in plan-
ning an academic program. However, the ultimate responsibility of meeting all
requirements rests with the individual student.
A student interested in a particular major should inform his general adviser in
order that special prerequisite courses for the major may be scheduled. A ma-
49
Academic Regulations
jor may be formally declared anytime after the student has earned 15 hours of
credit. The student must declare his major in writing to the Registrar by the time
he has earned 75 quarter hours of credit. The student will then be assigned to an
adviser in the department in which he will major. A student planning to pursue
a program in Teacher Education must make application in writing to the head of
the Department of Education at least by the time he declares his major.
Withdrawal
To withdraw from any course a student must confer with his instructor, his
adviser, and the Academic Dean. Failure of a student to withdraw officially
through the office of the Academic Dean normally will result in the assignment
of a U. A student who wishes to withdraw from the College must confer with
the Academic Dean and the Dean of Student Development. Withdrawals are
not permitted the last week of class.
Academic Probation Regulations
Students are placed on academic probation when the quality of work is such
that progress toward graduation is in jeopardy. The purpose of probation is to
warn. It is not a penalty. Students on probation will be notified and the regula-
tionsgoverning probation will be called to their attention.
Students in the freshman class (students with fewer than 45 quarter hours)
and sophomores (students with fewer than 90 quarter hours) must maintain a
cumulative grade-point average of 1.65 to avoid being placed on probation.
For juniors (fewer than 1 35 quarter hours) and seniors (1 35 quarter hours and
beyond) a 2.0 cumulative grade-point average is required. In most cases,
students have three quarters to remove their probationary status. Failure to do
so makes these students subject to suspension or exclusion.
Students are also subject to suspension or exclusion for failure to earn at least
five quarter hours of academic credit in any quarter, or for other valid
academic reasons. In the case of part-time students, the extent of application of
these regulations will be at the discretion of the Academic Dean. Normally, all
applications of the regulations will be based upon a fifteen quarter-hour
academic load.
Class Attendance Regulations
A student is expected to attend all classes, including labs, for all courses for
which he is registered. The student is solely responsible for accounting to his in-
structor for any absence. An instructor may recommend that the Academic
Dean drop from class with a grade of W or U any student whose absences are
interfering with satisfactory performance in the course.
50
Academic Regulations
Course Repetition
A student is prohibited from repeating a course in which he has made a "C"
or better (while enrolled at LaGrange College or any other institution) without
the approval of the Dean of the College and the Academic Standards Commit-
tee.
Acceleration
Students desiring to accelerate their college program may complete re-
quirements in less than four academic years. This may be accomplished by at-
tending summer schools and/or by taking an academic overload. Permission to
take an overload in any quarter is granted only to those students who have
earned at least an average of B (3.0), except that a student may take an overload
during one quarter of his senior year without respect to grade-point average.
Academic Honors
Upon graduation, students who have been in residence at LaGrange College
for at least their last ninety hours and
1 . have attained a quality point average of 3.50 to 3.74 may be granted the
bachelor degree cum laude or
2. have attained a quality point average of 3.75 to 3.89 may be granted the
bachelor degree magna cum laude or
3. have attained a quality point average of 3.90 to 4.0 may be granted the
bachelor degree summa cum laude.
At the end of each academic quarter, students who have maintained a 3.60
quality point average on a minimum of 15 quarter hours of work will be placed
on the Dean's List.
Academic honors at graduation are awarded only to students completing the
four-year program (effective with 1985 graduates).
Foreign Students
Students who are on a Student Visa in the United States are subject to special
regulations. As the institution which issues documents certifying student status,
LaGrange College is subject to regulations or guidelines. Guidelines change;
students should contact the Dean of the College for interpretation of such
changes. The current interpretation is that students with Student Visas must be
enrolled for a full academic load (at least 1 2 quarter hours) at all times.
English proficiency is fundamental to a successful academic course at
LaGrange College. Therefore, in addition to the minimum TOEFL score re-
51
Academic Regulations
quired for admission, the College requires all students for whom English is a
second language to enroll in and satisfactorily complete a two-quarter se-
quence, Eng 010, 01 1 ; His 010, 01 1 . Further, if it is apparent that a student's
English continues to jeopardize a successful academic career, the Dean of the
College may require that a student attend a special, intensive English language
course. If such a requirement is placed on a student, failure to attend the
English language course can result in withdrawal of the Student Visa.
Special Programs
There are several categories of special programs, described below. These are
designed to meet special interests and special needs. In no case are they in-
tended to be used as substitutes for any regular course offerings. Also, concur-
rent enrollment in any two or more of these special programs is discouraged.
INDEPENDENT STUDY
In certain departments independent study courses are offered. These courses
are limited to upperclass major and minor students who have completed at
least two-thirds of their particular major or minor program, and who wish to
pursue a special problem or course of reading beyond that taken up in any for-
mal course and lying within the capabilities of the library and laboratories. In
order to be eligible for independent study the student must have at least a 3.0
average in the specific field. Total credit which can be earned through indepen-
dent study normally will not be more than 10 quarter hours. Written permis-
sion to enroll in such a course must be obtained from the instructor, the head of
the department concerned, and the Academic Dean. These courses carry the
numbers 495 and 496.
SENIOR HONORS PROGRAM
Seniors with a cumulative quality point average of 3.5 or above may apply for
participation in the Honors Program which is available in certain departments.
This program carries the course number 499, with 5 quarter hours of credit in
each participating department, with the designation "Honors Course." Appli-
cations must be submitted in writing to the Academic Dean.
Credit-by-Examination and Exemption
Students may be eligible for credit and/or exemption in certain areas through
the College Level Examination Program (CLEP) and other recognized testing
procedures. Advanced placement credit is accepted for those students who
present evidence from the high school that advance placement programs have
52
Academic Regulations
been completed and who present scores of 4 or 5 on the advanced placement
test of the College Educational Examination Board administered by Educational
Testing Service.
Credit through United States Armed Forces Institute
and Service Schools
Courses taken through The United States Armed Forces Institute and other
recognized military educational programs are accepted in accordance with the
policy governing transfer work when presented on official transcripts from ac-
credited institutions. Fifteen quarter hours of elective credit will be allowed for
military service credit, including USAFI correspondence courses and military
service school courses as recommended by the American Council on Educa-
tion. One activity course in Physical Education, up to a maximum of 3, will be
waived for each two months served in the Armed Forces; a corresponding
reduction will be made in the total number of hours required for the degree.
Grades and Credits
The definitions of grades given at LaGrange College are as follows:
A superior
B above average
C average
D below average
F failing
I incomplete. This grade is assigned in case a student is doing satisfactory
work but for some reason beyond his control has been unable to com-
plete the work during that quarter. This deferment must be given written
approval in advance by the instructor and the Academic Dean.
N no credit or non-credit
W withdrawn. During the first three weeks a student may withdraw from a
class with an "automatic" "W." After this trial period the student may
withdraw, but the grade assigned, "W" or "U," will be at the discretion
of the professor.
U withdrawn failing. The grade of U is included in computing the grade-
point average.
O penalty failing. This grade is given for a breach of honor and is in-
cluded in computing the grade-point average.
T audit withdrawn
X audit complete
A student may register for a course on a non-credit basis, for which he pays
full tuition. To have a grade of N recorded, he must fulfill all course require-
ments.
53
Academic Regulations
A student may audit a course by paying the audit fee. All requests for audit
courses must be approved in writing by the instructor and Dean of the College.
Only lecture courses may be audited. No new freshman student may audit any
course during the first quarter of residence at LaGrange College.
An / is a temporary grade. Normally it must be removed by the date indicated
in the Academic Calendar. Failure to remove an / by the date set automatically
makes the grade an F. A grade other than /, once submitted, may not be
changed by an instructor except with the formal approval of the Academic Ad-
visory Council, within the next quarter.
Grades are assigned and recorded for each course at the end of each quarter.
Formal reports of grades are also issued at the same time. Transcripts are
withheld for any student who is under financial obligation to the College.
Requirements for Bachelor Degrees
LaGrange College offers the Bachelor of Arts degree and the Bachelor of
Business Administration degree. To obtain a second bachelor's degree, at least
60 additional quarter hours must be earned, beyond the first degree, in a
minimum of three quarters.
The minimum work required for graduation is 183 quarter hours and a 2.0
quality-point average overall, as well as in all course work taken at LaGrange
College. To be eligible for the degree, a student must have earned a cumulative
average of 2.0 or better and, must make application for the degree before the
beginning of his final quarter. A student who does not earn a degree in sixteen
full quarters or the equivalent may be denied further registration.
A minimum of 1 5 quarter hours meets the academic load requirement for a
full-time student. The maximum full load is 1 7 quarter hours; anything beyond
is considered an overload. No student is permitted to enroll for more than 22
hours in any one quarter. Request to take an overload must be granted in the
Dean's office.
Quality points are earned as follows: A, 4; B, 3; C, 2; D, 1 ; F, 0. The quality-
point average is computed by dividing the total quality points earned by the
total hours attempted. If a student has received credit for a course and repeats
that course, he receives no additional credit toward the degree. In computing
the student's average, hours attempted and quality points are counted on all
such attempts.
Not more than 95 quarter hours of credit earned at a junior college are
counted toward the degree. No credit is granted toward the degree for course
work taken at a junior college after a student has attained junior standing. A
transfer student is not given credit toward graduation for any Ds earned
elsewhere until he has validated them at LaGrange College. One hour of B
earned at LaGrange College validates one hour of D, and one hour of A earned
54
Academic Regulations
at LaGrange College validates two hours of D.
The last 60 hours of credit, in a minimum of 4 quarters, must be earned in
residence at LaGrange College. During his last 6 quarters and last 90 hours of
resident course work, a student may, however, upon obtaining prior written
approval from his academic adviser and the Academic Dean, be permitted to
enroll as a transient student at another four-year college for not more than one
full quarter, and not more than fifteen quarter hours of course work. For the
purpose of meeting the residence requirements, credit earned in this manner
will be considered as residence credit. Grades earned for transient work are
not included in the cumulative grade average. Normally, after receiving an un-
satisfactory grade in a course at LaGrange College, a student will not be given
credit for repeating that course at another institution. Credit totaling 10 hours or
more earned in this way during the last 90 hours or final 6 quarters precludes
the student's being granted credit for any course work taken by extension or by
correspondence during the period.
Any regularly enrolled LaGrange College student who desires to take course
work for credit by extension or by correspondence must obtain prior approval
in writing from his academic adviser and from the Academic Dean. Such exten-
sion or correspondence credit may in no case exceed 10 hours; however, not
more than 5 hours earned in this manner may be applied toward the fulfillment
of the General Requirements of LaGrange College. Any course or courses so
taken must be completed and all grades recorded before the end of the stu-
dent's final quarter, in order to be graduated that quarter.
A student is classified as a freshman if he has earned fewer than 45 hours of
credit. A student is classified as a sophomore if he has earned at least 45 hours
of credit and fewer than 90. To be classed as a junior, a student must have earned
at least 90 hours of credit and fewer than 1 35 hours. A student is classified as a
senior upon having earned 135 hours of credit.
No grade below C in any course above 100-level may be applied toward a
major.
Transcripts
Students are entitled to two transcripts of their record free of charge. For
other transcripts a fee of $2 each will be charged. No transcripts will be issued
for any student under financial obligation to the College.
Transcript requests must be made in writing to the Registrar well in advance
of the time the transcript is needed. Transcripts will be issued promptly;
however, atthe beginningand end of quarters some delay may be unavoidable.
55
Academic Regulations
Student Review of Academic Decisions
Decisions pertaining to the academic program which are originally rendered
by a faculty member may be appealed, in writing, to the Dean of the College
who shall seek in an informal conference to settle the grievance to the
satisfaction of the two parties involved. If no resolution can be found, the Dean
of the College will deliver the appeal to the Review Subcommittee of the
Academic Standards Committee for its determination.
Decisions pertaining to the academic program originally rendered by the
Dean of the College may be appealed to the Review Subcommittee of the
Academic Standards Committee.
Graduation Requirement
A student who enters LaGrange College under a given catalogue will be
graduated under the requirements of that catalogue. If a student withdraws and
re-enters more than four years later, he will graduate under the requirements of
the catalogue in effect at the time of his re-entry.
Students in their last year of college work must have an audit of their course
credits and planned courses examined prior to registration for their final
quarter in residence. This is called a "graduation petition." The major adviser
and the Office of the Dean of the College assist the student in completing this
petition.
Endowed Lectureships
The Arthur H. Thompson Lectureship brings to the campus each year noted
scholars to address the faculty and student body on the interrelationship of a
field of knowledge and the Christian religion. The endowment was established
by Mrs. Mary Will Thompson, alumna, in memory of her husband, who was at
one time chairman of the Board of Trustees of the College. He expressed his
philosophy in the statement: "The greatest thing in life is the simple faith of an
honest man."
The Jennie Lee Epps Lectureship brings to the campus each year noted
scholars to address the faculty and student body in the field of English. The en-
dowment was established by Miss Kate Howard Cross, former professor of
Latin at LaGrange College, in loving memory of her friend and colleague, Dr.
Jennie Lee Epps, who was professor of English at LaGrange College for 28 years.
The A. S. Mitchell Lectureship, established by the Mitchell Foundation Inc.,

Pre-professional and
Co-operative Programs
Pre-professional Programs of Study
LaGrange College has a curriculum and environment that is well-suited to
preparation for further study in fields such as law and medicine. These pro-
grams include, but are not necessarily limited to, preparation for the following
areas.
LAW
The pre-law adviser is Dr. John W. Anderson of the History and Political Sci-
ence Department.
Students entering law school come from many and varied undergraduate
programs from English to mathematics, business administration, history or
political science. Therefore, it is not really possible to say which major serves as
the best preparatory background. Almost every law school bulletin, however,
suggests that entering students must have a strong background in history,
political science and English as well as some preparation in economics,
business, sociology, psychology and mathematics. The pre-law program of
LaGrange College emphasizes the development of critical legal skills in in-
dividual students to conduct research, think in terms of abstract ideas, and to
present ideas and concepts in a clear, concise manner.
DENTISTRY
Dr. A. M. Hicks is the adviser. The pre-dental student should select a major as
early as possible and work toward the B.A. degree. Some dental schools accept
students with less than four years of college training, but most of them prefer a
student with the baccalaureate degree.
The pre-dental student should be familiar with the specific requirements set
by the dental schools to which he plans to apply. There is some variation in the
requirements of the various schools, but the minimum requirements set by
most schools of dentistry are:
Inorganic Chemistry with lab 10 quarter hours
Organic Chemistry with lab 15 quarter hours
Biology with lab 1 quarter hours
Physics with lab 10 quarter hours
English 10 quarter hours
All applicants must complete the Dental Admission Test not later than the
October testi ng preced i ng the yea r of desi red entry.
59
Pre-professional and Co-operative Programs

medical schools to which he plans to apply. Requirements vary somewhat in
the various medical schools, but the minimum requirements of most medical
schools are:
Biology with lab 15 quarter hours
Inorganic Chemistry with lab 15 quarter hours
Organic Chemistry 15 quarter hours
Physics 15 quarter hours
English 15 quarter hours
Every applicant must take the Medical College Admission Test, preferably in
the spring preceding the submission of his application to medical school, but
no later than the fall of that year.
VETERINARYMEDICINE
Dr. A. M. Hicks is the adviser. The p re-veterinary student should be familiar
with the specific requirements of the school to which he plans to apply. The
minimum requirements set by most schools of veterinary medicine are as
follows:
A candidate must have completed at least 90 quarter hours of college credit
by the end of the spring quarter before fall matriculation at the veterinary
school. The B.A. degree is preferred. The following required courses must have
been completed priortoentry into veterinary school.

The pre-Optometry adviser is Dr. John Hurd. Though selected students may
be admitted to Optometry School after three years of preparation, most are ad-
mitted after receiving Bachelors or Masters degrees. Optometry involves four
years of study after admission to the program and in some areas also includes a
brief internship. Majors in any academic area are acceptable though the stu-
dent should include emphasis on the sciences. Preparation for admission to a
specific school can be planned with the assistance of the adviser.
ALLIED HEALTH SCIENCES
The adviser for Allied Health Science preparation is Dr. John Hurd. Allied
Health Sciences include Dental Hygiene, Dental Lab Technology, Medical
Technology, Physical Therapy, Radiologic Technology, Respiratory Therapy
among others. These programs require from 30 to 90 hours of General Educa-
tion either within the program or prior to admission. A plan of preparation for
one of the Allied Health Sciences can be arranged with the adviser.

Pre-professional and Co-operative Programs
Radiologic Technology (A.A. degree)
Radiologist Director of School of Radiologic Technology, Rudolfo Celis,
M.D.; Program Director of School of Radiologic Technology, Sandra Hood,
R.T.; LaGrange College Coordinator, Kenneth Cooper, Ph.D.
The purpose of the Associate Degree Program in Radiologic Technology is to
prepare an individual for a career in radiologic technology. This program is a
joint effort of LaGrange College (LC) and the Troup County Area Vocational
Technical School (Troup Tech) with West Georgia Medical Center (VVGMC) as
the clinical affiliate. Upon successful completion of the examination of the
American Registry of Radiologic Technologists the graduate becomes a
registered radiologic technologist. He may then seek employment, continue
his education in radiologic technology at another college or university, or com-
plete the requirements for a Baccalaureate Degree in another area of study at
LC.
The program functions within the guidelines of both LC and Troup Tech. The
candidates must be accepted by LC as described elsewhere in this bulletin. In
addition the candidate must be at least 1 8 years of age. Further, the candidate's
Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) scores must be filed with the School of
Radiologic Technology at Troup Tech. To be accepted by the School of
Radiologic Technology a candidate may obtain an application form from the
School at Troup Tech. Application blanks must be completed and returned
along with transcripts of high school and college records, a passport-type
photograph, and health records to the School of Radiologic Technology. In ad-
dition, a personal interview is required before final acceptance of a candidate.
The program begins in the fall quarter and radiologic technologic courses are
taught in sequence. It is preferred for the student to accomplish the college
course work independent of the Troup Tech course work. Requirements for
graduation are completion of the curriculum as outlined with a minimum
grade of C in each course, and an overall quality point average of 2.0 or above.
In addition to the fees listed elsewhere the student will need to provide for
transportation to and from Troup Tech and VVGMC and purchase uniforms and
accessories. The student must pay a textbook fee of $200.00 and a supply fee of
$30.00 per quarter to the School of Radiologic Technology. The school pro-
vides all books required for its courses.

and Psychology. Master of Education degrees are offered in Early Childhood
Education.
The Division gives much attention to teacher education. Major emphasis is
placed upon teaching in Georgia, since many LaGrange College graduates
teach in this state. The Division, however, keeps abreast of variations in certifi-
cation for other areas, in the event graduates contemplate teaching in another
state.

The nursing program provides correlation between theoretical and clinical
aspects of nursing. Therefore, nursing courses have laboratory hours, as well as
lecture hours. Laboratory hours provide students time to learn and apply the
skills of nursing, and give them actual patient care experience in hospitals,
nursing homes, clinics, and other health care facilities. Each laboratory hour
equals three hours of actual experience. Some of the required non-nursing
courses are pre- or co-requisites for the nursing courses and therefore must be
successfully completed before or at the prescribed times in order to continue in
the nursing sequence.

to function on a beginning level as a nurse in a hospital, nursing home, clinic,
or other health care agency. Upon successful completion of the National
Council Licensure Examination for Nursing R.N., the graduate becomes a
registered nurse, and may seek employment, continue in nursing education at
another college or university, or complete the requirements for a Bac-
calaureate Degree in another area of study at LaGrange College. The LaGrange
College Nursing Program is accredited by the National League of Nursing.
Progression Requirements:
*1. Nursing courses are in sequence and a grade of C or better must be
made in each nursing course (in nursing a C is defined as 75-79) in order to con-
tinue the sequence.
*2. A student with a grade below C in a nursing course may be required to
audit nursing courses specified by the nursing faculty. For successful comple-
tion of audit, the student must adhere to the regular classroom attendance
policies.
*3. A student who fails more than once in the sequence of nursing courses
will not be allowed to continue in the nursing program.
4. A grade of C or better must be made in each required biological science
course. A student who receives two final course grades of D or F in any re-
quired biological science will not be permitted to continue in the nursing pro-
gram.
5. A student must successfully complete each biological science course by
the prescribed quarter in order to continue in the nursing sequence.
6. All general college non-nursing courses must be successfully completed
prior to the final quarter of the nursing program.

Departments and Courses
Religion
Courses in Religion have a twofold purpose: to afford students the oppor-
tunity to study and investigate the role of religion in human existence; and to
provide, for those interested, a basis for further study and for selection of posi-
tions in church-related vocations. The Department is aware of the increasing
demand that pre-theological students be prepared to enter seminary at the
graduate level in their studies and at the same time have a broad cultural orien-
tation. In addition, the Department is aware of the need for an interdisciplinary
preparation for persons interested in Christian Education. To this end the
Department offers a major in Christian Education which may be coordinated
with a major in another discipline.
For those persons primarily concerned with religious subjects there is a two-
year program of religious studies for which an A.A. degree may be earned. For
those who desire to continue their education through the study of religion, a
program of Continuing Education is offered. Units earned may later be con-
verted into college credit if the proper steps are taken. Courses designed for the
Continuing Education Units represent, in the main, subdivisions of the five
hour courses.
Religion 101 or 102 or 110 is required of all students electing Area III of the
General Requirements. However, Religion 103-104 in combination may be
substituted for Religion 101 .
