The first building with a maximum bed capacity of twelve was a frame dwelling at 2731 Hennepin A venue. Young women called into the service of the Master as deaconesses cared for the patients. In 1891 the first building on the present site was purchased and remodeled for hospital use. The sick continued to be cared for by deaconesses, graduates and students. In 1916, on the foundations laid by the Diaconate, and in response to the demands for more adequately prepared nurses, Lutheran Deaconess Hospital School of Nursing was established under the direction of Miss Inger Bergh. The ideals of Christian service which inspired the pioneering deaconesses became also those of the leaders who followed. Since the beginning, the School has offered a three year diploma program in basic nursing, preparing nurses to take the examinations leading to state registration (R.N.). Continuous efforts have been made to meet nursing needs of people through many periods of social change. Lutheran Deaconess Hospital is located within the metropolitan area of Minneapolis and participates in the delivery of health care to the inner city residents. The present bed capacity is two hundred forty-five. In 1967 a nursing school building, Anna Bergeland Hall, was completed. This building provides school offices, classrooms, library, lounges and recreational facilities in addition to dormitory rooms for nursing students. In 1973 Lutheran Deaconess Hospital entered into a consolidation with the Fairview Hospitals to form the Fairview Community Hospitals. In 1976 with the closing of Fairview Hospital School of Nursing, Lutheran Deaconess Hospital School of Nursing became the school for the Fairview Community Hospitals.

The School of Nursing faculty believes that: NURSING is a science and an art which seeks to preserve and promote health by meeting physical, social, emotional, and spiritual needs of the patient as a member of family and community. As a profession, nursing is the unique integration of the art of caring with the application of the natural and behavioral sciences. The nursing process is used to facilitate a person's ability to adapt and to move toward self-actualization. EDUCATION is a life-long learning process, integrating and developing knowledge, attitudes and skills. Through participation in the learning process, the learner should be able to lead a full and purposeful life and function as a responsible citizen. Specifically, nursing education provides systematic direction and guidance in using scientific principles and the art of nursing to facilitate the development of knowledge, attitudes and skills necessary for professional nursing. LEARNING involves changes in the learner's cognitive, affective, and psychomotor responses. Learning is an active, continuous process influenced by the learner's intellectual ability, experience, environment, and attitudes. Facilitation of learning occurs when education is sequential and proceeds from simple to complex as students advance in the educational program and when opportunities for practice are provided concurrently with theory. In addition, a Christian and democratic atmosphere promotes learning. Christian faith instills a spirit of love which promotes the ideas of worth of the individual and of service to one's fellow man, and the democratic process promotes respect for the rights of others and for their opinions together with freedom to explore and question. The ROLE OF FACULTY is to facilitate the learning process by providing an environment conducive to acquiring knowledge, attitudes, and skills necessary to give professional nursing care. The faculty assumes the responsibility for planning, implementing, evaluating and revising learning experiences. The STUDENT shares the responsibility for his own learning and self-development through self-involvement and utilization of guidance which fosters self-direction. 5 The SCHOOL meets its commitment of service to the community by preparing a safe practitioner who responds to the health needs of the community as a member of the interdisciplinary health care team by promoting wellness, intervening during illness, and rehabilitating to optimum functioning. The school is responsible for meeting the student's educational needs through providing a curriculum based on scientific fact, current knowledge, sequential learning, continuity, and integration of major areas of nursing. Furthermore, the school assumes the responsibility to provide an educationally prepared faculty who functions as effective instructors and role models, and requires a high standard of performance by the student to meet the school's responsibility to the community. Lastly, the school assumes the responsibility of providing the appropriate and necessary facilities to allow for the optimum interaction of the students and the faculty through the use of the curriculum.

The disciplinary based learning design is featured in the courses offered at Augsburg College and in the classroom component of each course taught at the School of Nursing, because this design stresses the importance of theory, its role in the curriculum, and the changing nature of theory. The competency based learning design is featured in the clinical component of the School of Nursing courses because it allows the student to systematically apply theory to the nursing process through the mastery of specific nursing skills. 27 Curriculum Organization Four levels of learning have been identified and courses are provided at each level to assist the student in achieving the objectives at each of the levels. Such a curriculum design was developed and implemented because it provides a continuous and sequential learning environment that emphasizes a simple to complex learning approach. Equal Opportunity Statements Lutheran Deaconess Hospital School of Nursing is committed to the policy that all applicants shall have equal access to the program without regard to race, color, sex, age, religion, marital status or handicap. In adherence to this policy, the school abides by the requirements of Title IX of the 1972 Education amendments, section 504 of P. L. 93-112, and other statutes relating to equal opportunity. Questions regarding compliance may be directed to Director, Lutheran Deaconess Hospital School of Nursing, 2315 14th Avenue South, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55404, or to the Director of the Office of Civil Rights, Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, Washington, D.C. 20201. LEVEL I This level consists of fundamental science and psychosocial courses and introductory courses in nursing and the health care system. Anatomy and physiology, chemistry, microbiology, psychology, and English courses are taken at Augsburg College located near the School of Nursing. These courses provide the essential scientific and social scientific foundations upon which the nursing curriculum is developed. At the School of Nursing, fundamental nursing skills and attitudes are developed through introductory nursing courses utilizing basic scientific principles and correlated clinical experiences. The emphasis is on the healthy individual, the client, and the nurse. The nursing process is introduced as the student learns to assume the comforting and protecting roles for her clients. LEVEL II The second level focuses on maintaining and promoting an individual's abilities to meet health needs and assisting individuals in meeting these needs. Courses at this level feature an emphasis on illnesses and representative common medical-surgical conditions that affect the adult client. The nursing process, a problem-solving approach to meet both physical and psychological needs of the client and his family, becomes an important means for translating theory into practice. The student begins to practice the therapeutic role and to incorporate teaching in her care of patients, and she begins to include the family to a greater extent. This level also includes the study of historical and contemporary trends in nursing and advanced courses in psychology, religion and sociology. ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS 1. 2. 3. 4.

This consequently determines how one lives his or her life. Golden Valley Lutheran College was established with the main purpose of providing an opportunity for the student to develop a philosophy of life founded on Christian convictions. We strive to provide this foundation for life by emphasizing a personalized education which includes the opportunity for the study of both liberal arts and the Scriptures. This is a curriculum we believe will best help the student understand the world in which he or she will be living and working. We ask that those who come have an open mind, a grateful heart and a desire to learn. Preparation for "making a living" is not sufficient for the Christian today. Golden Valley Lutheran College is also designed to provide an education which will serve as preparation for "making a life." Bernt C. Opsal, President GENERAL INFORMATION 9 GENERAL INFORMATION History Golden Valley Lutheran College is a two-year coeducational liberal arts college established in 1967 by The Lutheran Bible Institute of Minneapolis. Beginning as a Bible institute in 1919, The Lutheran Bible Institute moved from St. Paul to Minneapolis in 1929. In 1961 it moved to Golden Valley, a suburb four miles west of downtown Minneapolis. Through the years this educational institution has addressed itself to the needs of people and has sought to meet those needs by establishing programs appropriate to the times. The College is inter-Lutheran and is not directly affiliated with any particular Lutheran synod. It cooperates with and seeks to serve all synods and society as a whole.

It seeks to provide two years of higher education for students interested in the arts and sciences, and also to give opportunity for a study of the sources of the Christian faith. Through special activities the College provides the basis for personal growth and cultural enrichment. Students are encouraged to participate in community and church activities. In order to reach these goals, Colden Valley Lutheran College offers students a choice of one of the following curricula: 1. Completion of a two-year liberal arts education that functions according to the standards common to the academic enterprise and that prepares the student to transfer to a four-year college or university. 2. Completion of a two-year program that provides the basis for semiprofessional employment in the fields of church staff work, mission, administrative assistant, law enforcement, and a cooperative computer training program. 3. Study of the Bible and liberal arts in a collegiate setting for individuals who do not intend to pursue a degree or a semi-professional program. Colden Valley Lutheran College strives to supplement these curricular programs by emphasizing the following objectives with opportunities ... to develop knowledge of the Judeo-Christian world view as set forth in the literature of the Old and New Testaments and an analysis on the part of each student concerning his or her basic beliefs and spiritual commitments. to develop service motivated standards of conduct for young adults as they move into the many areas of national life, including social improvement, community involvement and active membership in Christian congregations. to appreciate the great works of art, music and the theatre through courses and cultural events which take place on the campus and in the metropolitan area. to attain physical well-being through the application of standards conducive to good health and through participation in physical education and sports activities. to develop personal self-confidence through the determination of individual goals, the building of relationships with other people, and the experience of companionship in a Christian setting.

In addition to individual counseling, several counseling groups, concerned with matters such as personal growth, chemical dependency and other problems, meet regularly.

COSTS 21 COSTS Student Costs 1985-86 The following sections explain the basic costs to the student and the financial aids that are available to assist the student in meeting these costs. The College reserves the right to change the costs of tuition, board, room or fees at any time. The charges that are made to students for tuition, room and board do not adequately cover the costs of operating the College. Approximately 35% of the cost of operation must come from gifts and grants. In the present budget, this amounts to over one million dollars a year. Therefore, over and above any financial aid given, each student receives the equivalent of a $2,000 scholarship per year in order to cover the total expenses of the operation. The College does not receive direct financial support from any denomination or Lutheran synod. Gift income is received from congregations, organizations and foundations, and by matching funds from corporations. Most of the funds, however, come as individual gifts from alumni, parents and friends of the College. Over 600 people are supporting the College through the INASMUCH program whereby they have pledged and/or paid from $1,000 to $25,000 over a three-year period. As we make our needs known, the Lord answers our prayers through the gifts of these many friends.

ACADEMIC PROGRAM 31 ACADEMIC PROGRAM Golden Valley Lutheran College grants three types of two-year completion awards: the Associate in Arts Degree (Liberal Arts and Transfer Program), the Associate in Arts Degree (Specialized Program), and the Junior College Certificate. Golden Valley Lutheran College is a liberal arts institution which allows a student to concentrate in the areas of general education, Biblical and theological studies, or a specific vocation. Students who plan to earn a four-year degree are encouraged to satisfy general education requirements while attending Golden Valley Lutheran College. When this suggestion is followed, students may concentrate on their major and other requirements during the last two years of college. General education courses invite the student to learn about the world, the scientific method, the society in which he or she lives, the fine arts and humanities, and the eternal values perceived in Biblical and theological studies. General Academic Information Credit load and Student Classification A normal credit load consists of 16 credits per quarter. Exceptions to this credit load will be considered in consultation with a student's academic advisor. Permission to take more than 18 credits must be granted by the Academic Dean. Individuals enrolled for 12 or more credits per quarter are considered full-time students. Individuals with less than 12 credits are considered part-time students. A student who has earned less than 45 cumulative credits is classified as a freshman. A student who has earned 45 or more cumulative credits is classified as a sophomore. The auditing of courses is not encouraged since classroom capacities are needed by students interested in earning college credit. Auditors are required to do all work assigned by the instructor and tuition costs are the same as costs for credit. 32 GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE Grading and Honor Point System A student's grade point average is computed at the end of each quarter. The grade point average is determined by dividing the number of earned honor points by the number of credits attempted. Honor points are computed by the following scale: Honor Points Grade Per Credit A Superior 4 B Above Average 3 Average 2 D Below Average 1 F Failure 0 c I v w WF s u Incomplete* Audit Withdrawn** Withdrawn, failing** Satisfactory*** Unsatisfactory*** 2 for J.C.C. only *A grade of I will be granted to a student for reasons beyond the student's control if the student has done satisfactory work prior to the emergency and after consultation by the student with the course instructor. Incomplete work must be made up satisfactorily by the end of the fourth week of the next term the student attends or within one year if the student does not return to Colden Valley Lutheran College. If a student desires an extension beyond four weeks, he or she must secure approval of the instructor involved and must petition the Scholastic Standing Committee for the extension. If the work is not completed in the allotted time, the grade becomes an F. **Withdrawals after the third week of classes and through mid-term are indicated by W or WF (to be determined by the instructor); and after the mid-term and until the last regularly scheduled class day of each quarter by a W, WF, or Fas determined by the instructor. A student may not withdraw from a course after final examinations begin. ***The grading system of Sand U is used only for those courses which are taken to meet the requirements of the Junior College Certificate. An S counts as two honor points per credit for the Junior College Certificate only and will not be credited toward an Associate in Arts Degree. The U grade yields no honor points or credits. Academic Honors An Honors List composed of those students who have earned a grade point average of 3.00-3.49 is compiled at the end of each term. Those students who achieve a grade point average of 3.50 or better are included on the Dean's List. ACADEMIC PROGRAM 33 Academic Progress In accordance with policies established by the administration and faculty, a student will be r:ounseled in relation to academic progress toward the Associate in Arts degree: (a) when a student's grade point average is less than 2.00; (b) when his or her transcript shows two or more grades of I (Incomplete) in one quarter. If a student's grade point average falls below 1.50 he or she will be placed on academic probation. The College reserves the right to dismiss a student if his or her academic performance is regarded as unsatisfactory. A student who earns a grade point average of less than 1.5 for a quarter may have co-curricular activites curtailed or programs of study reduced at the discretion of the Scholastic Standing Committee. U nsatisfadory Academic Progress For purposes of reporting, a full-time student shall be considered as making unsatisfactory progress if the student fails to earn 31 credits within each academic year. Eligibility for Varsity Sports Eligibility rules for participation in varsity sports at Golden Valley Lutheran College conform to the National Junior College Athletic Association eligibility rules. In general, in order to participate in a varsity sport, a student must be a full-time (12 credits) student during the qualifying and competing quarter. A student's eligibility is reviewed each quarter. (See NJCAA Eligibility Rules.) No student shall be certified on an eligibility list until the College has received the final transcript indicating the high school graduation date and any college transcript(s), if another college has been attended. The responsibility to obtain any such transcripts rests upon the individual student.

With respect to absences or makeup work, it is the student's responsibility to learn the policy of each instructor. The instructor's policy is usually stated in the course outline. At the discretion of the instructor, a student may be withdrawn from a course for an excessive number of absences or uncompleted assignments. Independent Study A maximum of six credits in Independent Study may be applied toward the Associate in Arts Degree. The student must meet the criteria established by the department and have the approval of the chairperson of the department in which he or she plans to do the study. Standards require a 3.0 average in the department in which the Independent Study is taken, a limit of four credits per term in Independent Study, and a demonstration of relevance to the student's academic objectives. Independent Study applications are available in the Registrar's Office. Bible and English Requirements All students enrolled for eight credits or more are required to take at least one Bible course each quarter that they attend classes at the College. A student who transfers from another college is not required to complete the full 18 credits in Bible but is required to take one course each quarter while enrolled at the College. All Bible core courses listed in the Department of Biblical Studies will satisfy this requirement. All degree seeking students are required to register for English until the sequence, English 111 and 112-College Composition, and English 113lntroduction to Literature, has been completed. Placement in English as a Second Language and English 100or110, or 111 will be determined by specific English Placement tests administered to all new students during student orientation in the fall, or at the time of their registration for winter or for spring quarters. Co-Curricular Activity Credits A total of nine credits in co-curricular activities may be applied toward an Associate in Arts Degree. Co-curricular activities include all music ensembles, theatre practice, Christian service, additional physical education activity courses after the three required courses are completed, and activity credits that a transfer student might bring to the College. ACADEMIC PROGRAM 35 Orientation and Registration All students must report to the College for Orientation Days as indicated in the calendar in this catalog. The orientation period includes a series of placement and personality tests which are used to provide a more effective placement and counseling service for students. Both new and returning students are required to register on the days indicated in the calendar. Registration is not completed until the student has made settlement for the quarter charges at the Bookkeeping Office. All students have at their disposal the advice and counsel of faculty advisors. Before registering for any term, the student must consult with his or her advisor concerning the schedule of study. The selection of the proper courses is the individual student's responsibility. Changes in Registration Necessary changes to eliminate conflicts and to correct evident mistakes in registration may be permitted during the first ten days of classes with the written approval of the academic advisor. A Change of Course Permit for this purpose may be obtained in the Registrar's Office. After the tenth day, no regularly scheduled classes may be added except by special permission. A student may not withdraw from a course after final examinations begin. Repeating a Course A student may repeat only courses in which a grade of Dor F has been received. The intention to repeat a course must be certified at the time of registration for the course. If a student repeats a course in which a Dor F grade has been received, only the more recent grade and credit earned will be included in the computation of the grade point average. Both grades, however, will remain on the student's permanent record. Withdrawals from the College A student who wishes to withdraw from the College during any term must make application for this action in the Office of the Registrar. When the application has been signed and returned to the Office of the Registrar, grades of W will be recorded for all courses. Partial refunds on fees already paid will be based on the date that the application is returned to the Registrar. Failure to comply with this regulation may deprive a student of refund privileges and result in an F grade in all classes.

This consequently determines how one lives his or her life. Golden Valley Lutheran College was established with the main purpose of providing an opportunity for the student to develop a philosophy of life founded on Christian convictions. We strive to provide this foundation for life by emphasizing a personalized education which includes the opportunity for the study of both liberal arts and the Scriptures. This is a curriculum we believe will best help the student understand the world in which he or she will be living and working. We ask that those who come have an open mind, a grateful heart and a desire to learn. Preparation for "making a living" is not sufficient for the Christian today. Golden Valley Lutheran College is also designed to provide an education which will serve as preparation for "making a life." Bernt C. Opsal, President GENERAL IN FORMATION 9 GENERAL INFORMATION History Golden Valley Lutheran college is a two-year coeducational liberal arts college established in 1967 by The Lutheran Bible Institute of Minneapolis. Beginning as a Bible institute in 1919, The Lutheran Bible Institute moved from St. Paul to Minneapolis in 1929. In 1961 it moved to Golden Valley, a suburb four miles west of downtown Minneapolis. Through the years this educational institution has addressed itself to the needs of people and has sought to meet those needs by establishing programs appropriate to the times. The College is inter-Lutheran and is not directly affiliated with any particular Lutheran synod. It cooperates with and seeks to serve all synods and society as a whole. The College admits qualified men and women from various geographic, cultural, economic, racial, and religious backgrounds. The Campus and Its location Golden Valley Lutheran College is located on a beautiful 30-acre campus in Golden Valley, a western suburb of Minneapolis. The greater Twin City area is a cultural, recreational, and sports center of the Upper Midwest. The academic life of the students is centered in a large two-level complex. Classrooms, library, faculty and administrative offices, a prayer chapel, the College auditorium-gymnasium, cafeteria and lounges are located in this building. Four residence halls on campus, Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and Delta dormitories, house approximately 400 students. The facilities include fireplace lounges, laundry facilities, rooms for prayer and meditation, and apartments for residence hall directors. Adjacent to Gamma dormitory is the Commons, a student lounge and recreation area. A student center is located in Delta dormitory. 10 GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE Philosophy and Objectives Golden Valley Lutheran College is a liberal arts institution w1tn programs of study in general education, Biblical literature, music, physical development, and semi-professional training. It seeks to provide two years of higher education for students interested in the arts and sciences, and also to give opportunity for a study of the sources of the Christian faith. Through special activities the College provides the basis for personal growth and cultural enrichment. Students are encouraged to participate in community and church activities. In order to reach these goals, Golden Valley Lutheran College offers students a choice of one of the following curricula: 1. Completion of a two-year liberal arts education that functions according to the standards common to the academic enterprise and that prepares the student to transfer to a four-year college or university. 2. Completion of a two-year program that provides the basis for semiprofessional employment in the fields of church staff work, mission, secretarial work, sodal service, recreational leadership, law enforcement and a cooperative computer training program. 3. Study of the Bible and liberal arts in a collegiate setting for individuals who do not intend to pursue a degree or a semiprofessional program. Golden Valley Lutheran College strives to supplement these curricular programs by emphasizing the following objectives with opportunities ... to develop knowledge of the Judea-Christian world view as set forth in the literature of the Old and New Testaments and an analysis on the part of each student concerning his or her basic beliefs and spiritual commitments. to develop service motivated standards of conduct for young adults as they move into the many areas of national life, including social improvement, community involvement and active membership in Christian congregations. to appreciate the great works of art, music and the theatre th rough courses and cultural events which take place on the campus and in the metropolitan area. to attain physical well-being through the application of standards conducive to good health and through participation in physical education and sports activities. to develop personal self-confidence through the determination of individual goals, the building of relationships with other people and the experience of companionship in a Christian setting. GENERAL IN FORMATION 11 Accreditation and Transfer of Credit Golden Valley Lutheran College received regional accreditation through the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools in July of 1978. Thus, entering students can be confident that if they make a creditable record at Golden Valley Lutheran College, their credits will normally transfer to other colleges and universities. Students who are planning to continue their education at a college with limited transfer of religion credits may register for the religion courses which are listed in the liberal arts departments. Through the proper selection, most religion courses are transferable. A student with a satisfactory academic record can normally complete a bachelor's degree two full academic years after receiving the Associate in Arts degree from Golden Valley Lutheran College.

During this time the student will have an opportunity to learn more about the College and meet staff and faculty personnel who will assist in course planning for the coming year. Selected sophomores are available to help the new students become familiar with and adjust to college life. Counseling Services The major decisions which students have to make during their early college years are often difficult and perplexing. Counseling provides a service which helps students learn ways of solving their academic, vocational, social, emotional and spiritual problems. Each student is assigned to a faculty advisor who will assist him or her in planning an appropriate schedule of classes for each academic term. In addition to individual counseling, several counseling groups, concerned with matters such as personal growth, chemical dependency and other problems, meet regularly. Each student also may make appointments to visit with instructors, residence hall directors, the deans, the College nurse or others on the staff who can give assistance. Study skills assistance is provided for students who need to improve their reading rate, reading comprehension, spelling, mathematics skills, study skills, or writing skills. Health Services The College has a full-ti me registered nurse on the staff to provide basic medical services. Stu'dents requiring additional treatment are usually referred to the Golden Valley Clinic which is located less than a mile from the campus. Major Twin City hospitals also are readily accessible. 14 GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE Library The library, located on the ground floor of the Main building, provides a variety of materials and services to support the college curricula.

In addition, there is a sizeable audiovisual collection including phonograph records and casssettes, as well as filmstrips with necessary listening and viewing equipment available to the students.

Housing Services Golden Valley Lutheran College is primarily a residential college. If space is available, full-time students live in the College residence halls. Exceptions are those who are married, commute from their homes, or who work for their board and room. Students living on campus participate in the cafeteria program which provides three meals a day, seven days a week. The price fixed for the weekly 21 meal plan is set with the knowledge that a certain percentage of the meals will be missed during a week. Students who are commuting may purchase individual meals in the College cafeteria. Student Government and Social Life A forum for student expression and student-initiated improvements in campus life is provided by a Student Senate chosen from the student body. This representative group serves as a coordinator of studentfaculty relations. It seeks continually to improve and make student life more enjoyable. The social program of the College is under the supervision of the Student Activities Commission (SAC). Homecoming, Sno-Daze and the Spring Banquet are examples of the many social activities available. Disciplinary problems are arbitrated by the student Judiciary Board. STUDENT LIFE 15 Religious life As an institution of Christian higher education, Golden Valley Lutheran College believes that religious life activities are an integral part of its program. Therefore the College provides regularly scheduled chapel services, campus worship services, transportation to local church services, all-campus devotions, dormitory devotions and Christian student organizations. Special programs include the Days of Prayer & Praise and the Christmas Festival of the Christ Child. Religious activities are coordinated by the faculty Chapel & Special Events Committee and by a student Faith & Life Commission.

These programs are varied in content. Some are in the nature of worship services conducted by students, faculty, or guest speakers, while others include films, lectures, drama, music or other special convocation programs. The chapel service is the heart and center of our collegiate program. It is here that messages are shared from the Scriptures, and opportunity is given for worship, intellectual stimulation and the development of a sense of community. Each student is encouraged to participate in the chapel services of the college community and to attend public worship every Sunday. Student Use of Automobiles Parking space is limited on campus. Those students who do not need an automobile for commuting or transportation to or from work are urged not to bring a vehicle to college.

COSTS 21 C STS Student Costs 1984~85 The following explains the basic costs to the student and the financial aids that are available to assist the student in meeting these costs. The College reserves the right to change the costs of tuition, board, room or fees at any time. The charges that are made to students for tuition, room and board do not adequately cover the costs of operating the College. Approximately 35% of the cost of operation must come from gifts and grants. In the present budget, this amounts to over one million dollars a year. Therefore, over and above all help given, each student receives the equivalent of a $2,000 scholarship per year in order to cover the total expenses of the operation. The College does not receive direct financial support from any denomination or Lutheran synod. Gift income is received from congregations, organizations and foundations, and by matching funds from Lutheran Brotherhood and other corporations. Most of the funds, however, come as individual gifts from alumni, parents and friends of the College. Over 600 people are supporting the College through the INASMUCH program whereby they have pledged and/or paid from $1,000 to $25,000 over a three year period. As we make our needs known, the Lord answers our prayers through the gifts of these many friends.

The loans are made at an interest rate of 5% with the student paying neither interest nor principal until six months after graduation or leaving college. Repayment must be completed within 10 years. Guaranteed Student Loans enable eligible students to borrow directly up to $2,500 annually from participating banks or other lenders at an interest rate of 8%.

The Minnesota Student Loan Program provides Guaranteed Student Loans to eligible students who are unable to find a participating lender to fund them. Parent Loans for Undergraduate Student (Plus). This program helps parents borrow money to pay for their children's cost of attending postsecondary schools without the constraint of collateral securing the loan. Parents of undergraduate students may borrow $3,000 per year for each dependent, undergraduate student to a maximum of $15,000 per student. Repayment begins within 60 days of disbursement. Normal repayment is made over a five to ten year period at an interest rate of 12%. The number and amount of each payment depends on the size of the debt and the parents' ability to pay. The minimum repayment is $600 per year. PLUS loans do not require a needs test. Work Opportunities College Work - Study enables students who demonstrate financial need an opportunity to help defray college expenses through part-time employment.

Student Employment. There are numerous part-time employment positions available in the Golden Valley community and the surrounding area.

Other Assistance Programs College Payment Schedule: Because most people prefer to pay educational expenses in installments, Golden Valley Lutheran College has set up a tuition payment plan. This plan is a convenient payment program beginning in June and ending in February. Hidden Subsidy: Golden Valley Lutheran College gives a "hidden subsidy" each year to every student who attends the College as a full- FINANCIAL AID 27 time student. This "hidden subsidy" reflects the fact that the total instructional program at the College costs more than the total amount received from tuition and fees. Such a "hidden subsidy" is made possible by gifts from many sources, especially church congregations, alumni, and friends of the College. The College also receives income from endowment funds. Lutheran Brotherhood Loan - If a member of the student's family holds a Lutheran Brotherhood Insurance policy, a student may borrow up to $2,500 per year from the Lutheran Brotherhood Insurance Society at the same rates described under Federal Insured Student Loans. Other Grants - There are a number of grants and scholarships available from other sources. The student is encouraged to consult his or her high school counselor and the Director of Financial Aid at Golden Valley Lutheran College for other federal, state, and communitysponsored scholarships and grants. Procedure for Applying for Financial Aid 1. To apply for admission to Golden Valley Lutheran College, request an application form from the Office of Admissions, Golden Valley Lutheran College, 6125 Olson Highway, Golden Valley, MN 55422. 2. If you are applying only for Golden Valley Lutheran scholarships and grants - and not for state or federal grants - indicate this on the Golden Valley Lutheran College Financial Aid Application. 3. To apply for federal or Minnesota aid you must complete a Family Financial Statement and a Student Data Form using income information for the 1983 tax year and submit it to ACT. Forms are available from your high school guidance counselor or by writing the Office of Admissions at Golden Valley Lutheran College. Although the FFS is preferred, non-Minnesota residents may submit the CSS Financial Aid Form. Allow six to eight weeks for processing of the ACT Family Financial Statement. 4. Since all financial aid programs have limited funds, within ten days of our notifying you that you will receive financial aid you must let us know that you accept the offer. Funds that are not accepted are given to other students who need them. All types of financial assistance are made for only one academic year. Students, however, may expect to receive financial assistance for the second year if they remain in good academic and personal standing and if their financial need continues. If a student withdraws during any quarter, he or she forfeits the entire amount of gift aid that has been awarded from College funds for the quarter. He or she also forfeits proportionate amounts of aid awarded from state or federal funds for that quarter. Golden Valley Lutheran College makes every effort to enable all accepted students to attend regardless of financial resources. Your financial need may be met through a combination of federal, state, and institutional financial aid programs. We encourage students and parents to visit campus to discuss financial planning. 28 GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE Scholarships The AAi..

An S counts as two honor points per credit for the Junior College Certificate only and will not be credited toward an Associate in Arts Degree. The U grade yields no honor points or credits. Academic Honors An Honors List composed of those students who have earned a grade point average of 3.00-3.49 is compiled at the end of each term.

A Change of Course Permit for this purpose may be obtained in the Registrar's Office. After the tenth day, no regularly scheduled classes may be added except by special permission. Repeating a Course A student may repeat only courses in which a grade of Dor F has been received. The intention to repeat a course must be certified at the time of registration for the course. If a student repeats a course in which a Dor F grade has been received, only the more recent grade and credit earned will be included in the computation of the grade point average. Both grades, however, will remain on the student's permanent record. Withdrawals from the College A student who wishes to withdraw from the College during any term, must make application for this action in the Office of the Registrar. Failure to comply with this regulation may deprive a student of refund privileges and result in an F grade in all classes. Partial refunds on fees already paid will be based on the date the application was signed and returned to the Registrar's Office. GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS 37 GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS The responsibility rests with the student for seeing that his or her program includes all requirements for graduation. Applicants for admission should study the requirements for graduation outlined in this section of the catalog and plan their college program as a whole as early as possible. A student who is in doubt about how certain requirements are interpreted should consult with his or her academic advisor, the Registrar, or the Academic Dean. When circumstances might warrant a justifiable modification in a requirement, a petition (obtained from the Registrar) should be submitted to the Committee on Academic Affairs. 38 GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE Associate in Arts Degree: Liberal Arts and Transfer Program This program is designed for students who intend to gain a general knowledge of the arts and sciences and who intend to transfer to a fouryear college or university for completion of a Bachelor's Degree.

This consequently determines how one lives his or her life. Golden Valley Lutheran College was established with the main purpose of providing an opportunity for the student to develop a philosophy of life founded on Christian convictions. We strive to provide this foundation for life by emphasizing a personalized education which includes the opportunity for the study of both liberal arts and the Scriptures. This is a curriculum we believe will best help the student understand the world in which he or she will be living and working. We ask that those who come have an open mind, a grateful heart and a desire to learn. Preparation for "making a living" is not sufficient for the Christian today. Golden Valley Lutheran College is also designed to provide an education which will serve as preparation for "making a life." Bernt C. Opsal, President GENERAL INFORMATION 7 GENERALI F RMATION History Golden Valley Lutheran college is a two-year coeducational liberal arts college established in 1967 by The Lutheran Bible Institute of Minneapolis. Beginning as a Bible institute in 1919, The Lutheran Bible Institute moved from St. Paul to Minneapolis in 1929. In 1961 it moved to Golden Valley, a suburb four miles west of downtown Minneapolis. Through the years this educational institution has addressed itself to the needs of people and has sought to meet those needs by establishing programs appropriate to the times. The College is inter-Lutheran and is not directly affliated with any particular Lutheran synod. It cooperates with and seeks to serve all synods and society as a whole. The College admits qualified men and women from various geographic, cultural, economic, racial, and religious backgrounds. The Campus and Its location Golden Valley Lutheran College is located on a beautiful 30-acre campus in Golden Valley, a western suburb of Minneapolis. The greater Twin City area is a cultural, recreational, and sports center of the Upper Midwest. The academic life of the students is centered in a large two-level complex. Classrooms, library, faculty and administrative offices, a prayer chapel, the College auditorium-gymnasium, cafeteria and lounges are located in this building. Four residence halls on campus, Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and Delta dormitories, house approximately 400 students. The facilities include fireplace lounges, laundry facilities, rooms for prayer and meditation, and apartments for residence hall directors. Adjacent to Gamma dormitory is the Commons, a student lounge and recreation area. A student center is located in Delta dormitory. 8 GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE Philosophy and Objectives Golden Valley Lutheran College is a liberal arts institution with programs of study in general education, Biblical literature, music, physical development, and semi-professional training. It seeks to provide two years of higher education for students interested in the arts and sciences, and also to give opportunity for a study of the sources of the Christian faith. Through special activities the College provides the basis for personal growth and cultural enrichment. Students are encouraged to participate in community and church activities. In order to reach these goals, Golden Valley Lutheran College offers students a choice of one of the following curricula: 1. Completion of a two-year liberal arts education that functions according to the standards common to the academic enterprise and that prepares the student to transfer to a four-year college or university. 2. Completion of a two-year program that provides the basis for semiprofessional employment in the fields of church staff work, missions, secretarial work, social service, recreational leadership, law enforcement and a cooperative computer training program. 3. Study of the Bible and liberal arts in a collegiate setting for individuals who do not intend to pursue a degree or a semiprofessional program. Golden Valley Lutheran College strives to supplement these curricular programs by emphasizing the following objectives with opportunities ... to develop knowledge of the Judea-Christian world view as set forth in the literature of the Old and New Testaments and an analysis on the part of each student concerning his or her basic beliefs and spiritual commitments. to develop service motivated standards of conduct for young adults as they move into the many areas of national life, including social improvement, community involvement and active membership in Christian congregations. to appreciate the great works of art, music and the theatre through courses and cultural events which take place on the campus and in the metropolitan area. to attain physical well-being through the application of standards conducive to good health and through participation in physical education and sports activities. to develop personal self-confidence through the determination of individual goals, the building of relationships with other people and the experience of companionship in a Christian setting. GENERAL INFORMATION 9 Accreditation and Transfer of Credit Golden Valley Lutheran College received regional accreditation through the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools in July of 1978. Thus, entering students can be confident that if they make a creditable record at Golden Valley Lutheran College, their credits will normally transfer to other colleges and universities. Students who are planning to continue their education at a college with limited transfer of religion credits may register for the religion courses which are listed in the liberal arts departments. Through the proper selection, most religion courses are transferable. A student with a satisfactory academic record can normally complete a bachelor's degree two full academic years after receiving the Associate in Arts degree from Golden Valley Lutheran College.

Selected sophomores are available to help the new students become familiar with and adjust to college life. Counseling Services The major decisions which students have to make during their early college years are often difficult and perplexing. Counseling provides a service which helps students learn ways of solving their academic, vocational, social, emotional and spiritual problems.

In addition to individual counseling, several counseling groups, concerned with matters such as personal growth, chemical dependency and other problems, meet regularly.

Most of the funds, however, come as individual gifts from alumni, parents and friends of the College. Over 600 people are supporting the College through the INASMUCH program whereby they have pledged and/or paid from $1,000 to $25,000 over a three year period. As we make our needs known, the Lord answers our prayers through the gifts of these many friends. 20 GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE Charges By Quarter The College operates on a quarter system vvith three quarteis per academic year.

FINANCIAL AID 23 Fl ANCIAL AID Golden Valley Lutheran College is concerned about the financial problems of students. In order to assist students who have inadequate financial resources, the Director of Financial Aid coordinates a program of financial aid based on a student's academic achievement, special abilities, and financial need. Basically, there are three sources of financial aid: Federal Government State of Minnesota Golden Valley Lutheran College There are three forms of aid: Gift Aid Loans Student Employment All types of financial assistance are made for only one academic year. Students, however, may expect to receive their financial assistance for the second year if they remain in good academic and personal standing and if their financial need continues. If a student withdraws during any quarter, he or she forfeits the entire amount of gift aid that has been awarded from College funds for that quarter. He or she also forfeits proportionate amounts of aid awarded from state or federal funds for that quarter. 24 GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE Gift Aid Gift Aid is a categorical name given to all awards from GVLC pi us the Peii Grant (formerly BEOG), Supplemental Education Opportunity Grant (SEOG), and the Minnesota State Scholarship/Grant Program (MSS/G). Such awards do not have to be repaid. Pell Grant: This grant is provided by the Federal Government based on financial need. The amount is derived from uniform methodology, using family and student financial information. All students applying for financial assistance at GVLC are required to apply for this grant. Golden Valley Lutheran College President's Scholarship: This scholarship is available to the gifted student who has demonstrated outstanding leadership in a given field and attained an unusual degree of academic excellence. A recipient must be ranked in the upper five percent of his or her high school or college class and be willing to provide leadership in music, sports, theatre or other college related activities. The President's Scholarship may be awarded without regard to financial need, but if a recipient has a demonstrated financial need, the Federal and State guidelines for financial assistance must be followed. The amount of the scholarship may vary depending upon circumstances. Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant: Awarded by the Federal Government through the College, these funds allow GVLC to make awards of $200 or more to students who show financial need based on uniform methodology. Golden Valley Lutheran College Gift Aid: Includes all awards granted for scholarship, athletics, Christian service, drama and music as well as the GVLC financial need grants. These awards are based on demonstrated excellence in specified areas and financial need as defined by the ACT (American College Testing) Family Financial Statement. The GVLC Gift Aid awarded to new students is based on their high school achievement, while the Gift Aid awarded to returning students is based on participation and achievement while enrolled at GVLC. One-third of the award is credited to the student's account each quarter. Minnesota State Scholarship/Grant Program: Available to qualified Minnesota residents each year depending upon financial need. All Minnesota residents who apply for financial aid at GVLC are expected to apply for this aid. Other Grants: There are a number of grants and scholarships available from other sources. The student is encouraged to consult his or her high school counselor and the Director of Financial Aid at GVLC for other federal, state, and community-sponsored scholarships and grants. FINANCIAL AID 25 Deferred Payment loans National Direct Student Loans (NDSL) - Federal NDSL Loans are available to students who have financial need and have been accepted for admission to Golden Valley Lutheran College. Repayment and interest do not begin until nine months after the student completes his or her studies. The interest rate is 5% (APR), and repayment may be extended over a ten-year period. Part of the loan is forgiven if the student enters certain fields of teaching or specified military duty. Guaranteed Student Loans: The Student may borrow up to $2,500 per year from a bank and the federal government will pay the interest during the time the student is in college. The borrower pays the principal and 9% (APR) interest during the repayment period. When a bank will not give the loan, the student may borrow up to $2,500 per year from the Minnesota State Student Loan Program. First year students are limited to $1,500 per loan, but may apply for a second loan under the $2,500 limit. The federal government will pay the interest during the time the student is in college. The borrower pays the principal and 9% (APR) interest during the repayment period. These loans are processed through the GVLC Financial Aid Office. Parent Loan for Undergraduate Students: When necessary an application can be made for a Parent Loan for Undergraduate Students (PLUS). The parent can apply for up to $3,000 per academic year to be used for educational expenses. The interest rate on this loan is 12% (APR) and repayment must begin 60 days after disbursement, with terms to be worked out with the lender. The Financial Aid Office has a list of private institutions which are participating in this program. Our list, however, is incomplete and parents are free to inquire at the lending institution of their choice. Lutheran Brotherhood Loan - If a member of the student's family holds a Lutheran Brotherhood Insurance policy, a student may borrow up to $2,500 per year from the Lutheran Brotherhood Insurance Society at the same terms described under Federal Insured Student Loans. Student Employment College Work-Study Program - Golden Valley Lutheran College participates in State and Federal Work-Study Programs. The student's eligibility depends on his or her financial need and individual skills. Student Part-time Employment - The College offers a variety of campus jobs with moderate pay. In addition, there are numerous parttime employment positions available in the Twin Cities and surrounding suburban areas. The Student Employment Office maintains a listing of opportunities available. 26 GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE Procedure for Applying for Financial A :...J tÂ·â¢uu Any student wishing to apply for financial aid must first make proper application through the admissions department and be admitted to the College. The basic forms used to determine financial aid need are the Famil)"' Financial Statement (FFS) from ACT, or the Financial Aid Form (FAF) from CSS. Many qualified students fail to receive financial assistance because they neglect to get their financial statements submitted on time. Minnesota residents must file their FFS by April 1, 1983 to be eligible for priority consideration from the Minnesota State Scholarship/Grant Program. As soon as all pertinent information has been assembled, the Financial Aid Office sends the student an aid package. The student must accept the aid package within 15 days to be guaranteed the funds. Students are expected to contribute part of their summer earnings toward the cost of education. The Federal Government also has established an amount that each family is expected to contribute to the educational expenses of a son or daughter. We believe that Federal and State assistance programs, plus the financial aid available through Golden ValJey Lutheran College, places two years of quality college education within the reach of all who desire it. Scholarships The AAL Lutheran American Minority Scholarship Program is available for any Lutheran American minority person who is a member of a Lutheran church, or is an immigrant who has been sponsored by a Lutheran organization and is attending Golden Valley Lutheran College.

ACADEMIC PROGRAM 29 ACADEMIC PROGRAM Golden Valley Lutheran College grants three types of two-year completion awards: the Associate in Arts Degree (Liberal Arts and Transfer Program), the Associate in Arts Degree (Specialized Program), and the Junior College Certificate. A one-year Vocational Certificate is awarded for completion of a selected one-year vocational curriculum. Golden Valley Lutheran College is a liberal arts institution which allows a student to concentrate in the areas of general education, Biblical and theological studies, or a specific vocation. Students who plan to earn a four-year degree are encouraged to satisfy general education requirements while attending Golden Valley Lutheran College. When this suggestion is followed, students may concentrate on their major and other requirements during the last two years of college. General education courses invite the student to learn about the world, the scientific method, the society in which he or she lives, the fine arts and humanities, and the eternal values perceived in Biblical and theological studies. General Academic Information Credit load and Student Classification A normal credit load consists of 16 hours per quarter. Exceptions to this credit load will be considered in consultation with a student's academic advisor. Permission to take more than 18 credits must be granted by the Academic Dean. Individuals enrolled for 12 or more credit-hours per quarter are considered full time students. Individuals with less than 12 credit-hours are considered part-time students. A student who has earned less than 45 cumulative credits is classified as a freshman. A student who has earned 45 or more cumulative credits is classified as a sophomore. The auditing of courses is not encouraged since classroom capacities are needed by students interested in earning college credit. Auditors are required to do all work assigned by the instructor and tuition costs are the same as costs for credit. 30 GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE Grading and Honor Point System A student's grade point average is computed at the end of each quarter. The grade point average is determined by dividing the number of earned honor points by the number of earned credits. Honor points are computed by the following scale: Honor Points Per Credit Grade Superior 4 for A.A. Degree A Above Average 3 for A.A. Degree B 2 for A.A. Degree c Average Below Average 1 for A.A. Degree D Failure F 0 for A.A. Degree I W WF s u Incomplete* Withdrawn** Withdrawn, failing** Satisfactory*** Unsatisfactory*** 2 for J.C.C. only *Incomplete work, must be made up satisfactorily by the end of the fourth week of the next term the student attends. If a student desires an extension beyond four weeks, he or she must secure approval of the instructor involved and must petition the Scholastic Standing Committee for the extension. If the work is not completed, the grade becomes an F. **Withdrawals after the third week of classes and through mid-term are indicated by W or WF (to be determined by the instructor); and after the mid-term and until the last regularly scheduled class day of each quarter by a W, WF, or Fas determined by the instructor. A student may not drop a course after final examinations begin. ***The grading system of Sand U is used only for those courses which are taken to meet the requirements of the Junior College Certificate. An S counts as two honor points per credit for the Junior College Certificate only and will not be credited toward an Associate in Arts Degree. The U grade yields no honor points or credits. Academic Honors An Honors List composed of those students who have earned a grade point average of 3.00-3.49 is compiled at the end of each term. Those students who achieve a grade point average of 3.50 or better are included on the Dean's List. ACADEMIC PROGRAM 31 Academic Progress In accordance with policies established by the administration and faculty, a student will be counseled in relation to academic progress toward the Associate in Arts degree: (a) when a student's grade point average is less than 2.00; (b) when his or her transcript shows two or more grades of I (Incomplete) in one quarter. If a student's grade point average falls below 1.50 he or she will be placed on academic probation until the grade point average is raised to 1.50 or above. The College reserves the right to dismiss a student if his or her academic performance is regarded as unsatisfactory. Eligibility for Varsity Sports Eligibility rules for participation in varsity sports at Golden Valley Lutheran College conform to the National Junior College Athletic Association eligibility rules. In general, in order to participate in a varsity sport, a student must be a full-time (12 credits) student during the qualifying and competing quarter. During the qualifying quarter, he or she must earn a grade point average of 1.5 or better in at least 10 hours of course work listed in the College Catalog. Freshmen enrolled at GVLC in their first quarter of college are exempt from the qualifying quarter requirements. A student's eligibility is reviewed each quarter and all hours of a complete course (subject) must be counted in computing a student's grade point average. (See NJCAA Eligibility Rules.) No student shall be certified on an eligibility list until the College has received the final transcript indicating the high school graduation date and any college transcript(s), if another college has been previously attended. The responsibility to obtain any such transcripts rests upon the individual student. Credit by Spedal Examination Under special circumstances, a student may seek to gain credits or exemption by special examination, in accordance with specific departmental policies. Transfer Students The actual number of credits earned at other institutions are entered on the student's record, but transferred credits and grade points are not included in the computation of the grade point average. Class Attendance Each student is responsible for regular class attendence and for completing work as required in each class. With respect to unexcused absences, excused absences, or make-up work, it is the student's responsibi I ity to learn the policy of each instructor. The instructor's policy is usually stated in the course outline. At the discretion of the instructor, a student may be withdrawn from a course for an excessive number of unexcused absences or uncompleted assignments. 32 GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE Independent Study A maximum of six credits in Independent Study may be applied toward the Associate in Arts Degree. The student must meet the criteria established by the department and have the approval of the chairperson of the department in which he plans to do the study. Standards require a 3.0 average in the department in which Independent Study is taken, a limit of four credits per term in Independent Study, and a demonstration of relevance to the student's academic objectives. Independent Study applications are available in the Registrar's Office. Bible and English Requirements All students enrolled for eight credits or more are required to take at least one Bible course each quarter that they attend classes at the College. A student who transfers from another college is not required to complete the full 18 credits in Bible but is required to take one course each quarter while enrolled at the College. All Bible core courses listed in the Department of Biblical Studies will satisfy this requirement. All degree seeking students are required to register for English until the sequence, English 111and112 - College Composition, and English 113 - Introduction to Literature, has been completed. Placement in English 100, 110, or 111 will be determined by specific English Placement tests administered to all new students during student orientation in the fall, or at the time of their registration for winter or for spring quarters. Co-Curricular Activity Credits A total of nine credits in co-curricular activities may be applied toward an Associate in Arts Degree. The three credits of required physical education are not included in this category. Co-curricular activities include all music ensembles, Theatre Practice, Christian Service, additional physical education activity courses after the three required courses are completed, and activity credits that a transfer student might bring to the College. With regard to co-curricular activities other than varsity sports, a student who earns a grade point average of less than 1.5 for a quarter may have co-curricular activities curtailed or programs of study reduced, at the discretion of the Scholastic Standing Committee. Orientation and Registration All students must report to the College for Orientation Days as indicated in the calendar in this catalog. The orientation period includes a series of placement and personality tests which are used to provide a more effective placement and counseling service for students. Both new and returning students are required to register on the days indicated in the calendar. Registration is not completed until the student has made settlement for the quarter charges at the Bookkeeping Office. ACADEMIC PROGRAM 33 Changes in Registration Necessary changes to eliminate conflicts and to correct evident mistakes in registration may be permitted during the first ten days of classes, with the written approval of the academic advisor. A Change of Course Permit for this purpose may be obtained in the Registrar's Office. After the tenth day, no regularly scheduled classes may be added except by special permission. Repeating a Course A student may repeat only courses in which a grade of Dor F has been received. The intention to repeat a course must be certified at the time of registration for the course. If a student repeats a course in which a Dor F grade has been received, only the more recent grade and credit earned will be included in the computation of the grade point average. Both grades, however, will remain on the student's permanent record. Withdrawals from the College A student who wishes to withdraw from the College during any term, must make application for this action in the Office of the Registrar. Failure to comply with this regulation may deprive a student of refund privileges and result in an F grade in all classes. Partial refunds on fees already paid will be based on the date the application was signed and returned to the Registrar's Office. GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS 35 GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS The responsibility rests with the student for seeing that his or her program includes all requirements for graduation. Applicants for admission should study the requirements for graduation outlined in this section of the catalog and plan their college program as a whole as early as possible. A student who is in doubt about how certain requirements are interpreted should consult with his or her academic advisor, the Registrar, or the Academic Dean. When circumstances might warrant a justifiable modification in a requirement, a petition (obtained from the Registrar) should be submitted to the Committee on Academic Affairs. 36 GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE Associate in Arts Degree: liberal Arts and Transfer Program This program is designed for students who intend to gain a general knowledge of the arts and sciences and who intend to transfer to a fouryear college or university for completion of a Bachelor's Degree.

Golden Valley Lutheran College was established with the main purpose of providing an opportunity for the student to develop a philosophy of life founded on Christian convictions. We strive to provide this foundation for life by emphasizing a personalized education which includes the opportunity for the study of both liberal arts and the Scriptures, a curriculum which we feel will best help the student understand the world in which he will be living and working. We ask that those who come have an open mind, a grateful heart, and a desire to learn. Preparation for "making a living" is not sufficient for the Christian today. Golden Valley Lutheran College is also designed to provide an education which will serve as preparation for "making a life." Bernt C. Opsal, President GENERAL INFORMATION 7 General Information HISTORY Golden Valley Lutheran College is a two-year coeducational liberal arts college established in 1967 by The Lutheran Bible Institute of Minneapolis which had been engaged in adult Christian education since 1919. Beg inning as a Bible school in 1919, The Lutheran Bible Institute moved from St. Paul to Minneapolis in 1929, and to Golden Valley, a suburb four miles west of downtown Minneapolis, in 1961. Through the years this educational institution has addressed itself to the needs of young people and has sought to meet those needs by establishing programs appropriate to the times. The College is inter-Lutheran and is not directly affiliated with any particular Lutheran synod. It cooperates with and seeks to serve all synods and society as a whole. The College admits qualified men and women from various geographic, cultural, economic, racial, and religious backgrounds. THE CAMPUS AND ITS LOCATION Golden Valley Lutheran College is located on a beautiful 30-acre campus in Golden Valley, a western suburb of Minneapolis which is the cultural, recreational, and sports center of the Upper Midwest. The academic life of the students is centered in a large two-level complex. Classrooms, library, faculty and administrative offices, a prayer chapel, the College auditorium-gymnasium, cafeteria and lounges are located in this building. Four residence halls on campus, Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and Delta dormitories, house approximately 400 students. The facilities include fireplace lounges, laundry facilities, rooms for prayer and 8 GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE meditation, and apartments for residence counselors. Adjacent to Gamma dormitory is the Commons, a student lounge and recreation area. A student center with a gri!! is located in De!ta dormitory. PHILOSOPHY AND OBJECTIVES Golden Valley Lutheran College is a liberal arts institution with a program of studies in the areas of general education, Biblical literature, music, physical development, and semi-professional training. Its primary purpose is to provide two years of higher education for students interested in the arts and sciences, and also provide opportunity for a study of the sources of the Christian faith. Through special activities the College provides the basis for personal growth and cultural enrichment, and encourages students to participate in community and church activities. In order to reach these goals, Golden Valley Lutheran College offers students a choice of one of the following curricula: 1. Completion of a two-year liberal arts education that functions according to the standards common to the academic enterprise and that prepares the student to transfer to a four-year college or university. 2. The completion of a two-year program provides the basis for semi-professional employment in the fields of church staff work, missions, secretarial work, social service, recreational leadership and a cooperative computer training program. 3. Study of the Bible and liberal arts in a collegiate setting for individuals who do not intend to pursue a degree or semi-professional programs. Golden Valley Lutheran College strives to supplement these curricular programs by emphasizing the following objectives with opportunities ... . . . to develop knowledge of the Hebrew-Christian world view as set forth in the literature of the Old and New Testaments and an analysis on the part of each student concerning his or her basic beliefs and spiritual commitments . . . . to develop service motivated standards of conduct for young adults as they move into the many areas of national life, including social improvement, community involvement and active membership in Christian congregations . . . . to appreciate the great works of art, music and the theatre through courses and cultural events on the campus and through the extensive presentations offered by the metropolitan surroundings of the College. GENERAL INFORMATION 9 ... to attain physical well-being through the application of standards conducive to good health and participation in physical education and sports activities . . . . to develop personal self-confidence through the determination of individual goals, the building of relationships with other people and the experience of companionship in a Christian setting. ACCREDITATION, AFFILIATIONS AND TRANSFER OF CREDIT Golden Valley Lutheran College received regional accreditation through the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools in July of 1978. Thus, entering students can be confident that if they make a creditable record at Golden Valley Lutheran College, their credits will be accepted elsewhere in the academic community. Affiliations North Central Association of Colleges and Schools Registered with the Minnesota Higher Education Coordinating Board Lutheran Educational Conference of North America National Association of Independent Colleges and Universities American Association of Community and Junior Colleges Minnesota Association of Community and Junior Colleges National Junior College Athletic Association-Region XIII Minnesota Community College Conference Transfer of Religion Courses With reference to transfer of religion courses, it should be noted that most colleges and universities accept our courses in religion. Students who are planning to continue their education at a college with limited transfer of religion credits may register for the religion courses which are listed in the liberal arts departments. Through the proper selection, most religion courses are transferable, and a student with a satisfactory academic record can normally complete a Bachelor's degree two full academic years after receiving the A.A. degree from Golden Valley Lutheran College. GENERAL GUIDELINES Golden Valley Lutheran College is oriented to the Christian Gospel and expects its students to live accordingly. The College reserves the right to discipline those who conduct themselves in a manner which is not in the best interest of the 10 GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE individual, other students, or the College. Each student is expected to be familiar with the regulations and standards pertaining to student conduct as described in the Student Life Handbook. Chapel All classes are dismissed each morning for a 25-minute chapel program. These programs are varied in content. Some are in the nature of worship services conducted by students, faculty, or guest speakers, while others include films, lectures, drama, music or other special convocation programs. The chapel service is the heart and center of our collegiate program. It is here that challenges are made from the Scriptures, where announcements of great significance are made, where there is an opportunity for worship, inspiration and intellectual stimulation and where a sense of community is developed. Each student is encouraged to participate fully in the daily chapel services of the College community. He or she is also encouraged to attend public worship every Sunday in the church of one's choice. Student Use of Automobiles Since parking space is limited on campus, those students who do not need an automobile for commuting or transportation to or from work are urged not to bring a vehicle to college. Those who do need an automobile or motorcycle must secure a parking permit through the business office. The Dean of Students shall have the right to terminate a permit at any time if, in his opinion, circumstances warrant such action. The College assumes no responsibility for damage, theft, or vandalism involving student vehicles. Alcohol and Drug Abuse Golden Valley Lutheran College strongly discourages all students from using alcohol and/or mood altering drugs. Students possessing, using, or under the influence of alcohol or drugs on campus, in college-approved housing, or at college-sponsored events both on and off campus will be subject to disciplinary action. In instances where college officials are informed that Golden Valley Lutheran College students have caused a disturbance off campus in connection with the use of alcohol or drugs the College reserves the right to take disciplinary action. Golden Valley Lutheran College upholds all federal and state statutes pertaining to the illegal use of alcohol or drugs. A student who uses, possesses, or persuades someone else to use alcohol or drugs in violation of the laws will be subject to disciplinary action. The college's action will be determined by the circumstances surrounding each individual case. The College provides counseling services and support groups fn.t" +hn.~~ ,.ui+h ,,.h.o.miru~I 11~.o. ~h11~0. nt"' rl.o.n.anrl.onr\J nr-nhlomc STUDENT PERSONNEL 11 Student Services NEW STUDENT ORIENTATION Prior to the start of the fall quarter, new students are invited to the campus to participate in orientation activities. During this time the student will have an opportunity to learn more about the College and meet staff and faculty personnel who will assist in course planning for the coming year. The orientation period also includes a series of ability and personality tests which are used to help provide a more effective counseling service for students. Selected upperclassmen are available to help the new students become familiar with and adjust to college life. COUNSELING SERVICES The major decisions which students have to make during their early college years are often difficult and perplexing. Counseling provides a service which helps students learn ways of solving their academic, vocational, social, emotional and spiritual problems. The College counselors are available to assist students in clarifying or establishing appropriate educational and vocational goals, to help the students evaluate aptitude and interests, to help them plan programs in preparation for further study, and to help them deal with personal and/or emotional problems. Each student is assigned to a faculty advisor who will assist him or her in planning an appropriate schedule of classes for each academic term or with other aspects of college life. In addition to individual counseling, several counseling groups, concerned with matters such as personal growth, chemical dependency and other 12 GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE problems, meet regularly. Beyond the service described, each student may make appointments to visit with instructors, residence hall directors, the deans, the Co!!ege nurse or others on the staff who can Qive assistance if difficulties are encountered. Study skills assistance is provided for students who need to improve their reading rate, reading comprehension, spelling, mathematics skills, study skills, or writing skills. Students seeking this assistance should register for one of the Personal Orientation courses described on page 63. HEAL TH SERVICES The College has a registered nurse on the staff to provide basic medical services. Students requiring additional treatment are usually referred to the Golden Valley Clinic which is located less than a mile from the campus. INSURANCE The personal property of staff members and students is not covered by insurance and the College does not assume any responsibility for the loss of such property. Many families have homeowners policies that will cover losses of family members at college. HOUSING SERVICES Golden Valley Lutheran College is primarily a residential college. Provided space is available, all full-time students live in the College residence halls. Exceptions are those who commute from their homes, or who work for their board and room. All students living on campus are required to participate in the cafeteria program which provides three meals a day, seven days a week. The price fixed for the weekly 21 meal plan is set with the knowledge that a certain percentage of the meals will be missed during a week. Students who are commuting may purchase either their noon luncheon or evening dinner in the College cafeteria. STUDENT LIFE 13 Student Life Campus life at Golden Valley Lutheran College provides activities and experiences which help develop the student's total life. The programs of the College provide wholesome recreation designed to stimulate spiritual and intellectual growth. Students are involved in the planning of social activities which can enrich college life and foster friendships. STUDENT GOVERNMENT AND SOCIAL LIFE Student self-government is carried out by a Committee on Student Activities (CSA) chosen from the student body. This representative group serves as a coordinator of student-faculty relations. It seeks continually to improve and make the life of the student more enjoyable. Disciplinary problems are arbitrated by a Student Judiciary Board. The social program of the College is under the supervision of the CSA. Homecoming, Sno-Daze, and the Spring Banquet are examples of the many social activities available. RELIGIOUS LIFE As an institution of Christian higher education, Golden Valley Lutheran College believes that sound religious life activities must be an integral part of its program. In support of this conviction, the College has regularly scheduled chapel services, campus worship services, campus dormitory devotions and Christian student organizations. Special programs include the Days of Prayer and Praise and the Christmas Festival of the Christ Child. In addition, many students participate in Christian Service activities in the community and in World Mission Fellowships. The 14 GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE College has a Fellowship of Christian Athletes chapter in which many students take an active part. There is also an opportunity to participate on youth encounter teams which travel throughout the Midwest presenting the Gospel in word and song. ATHLETICS Basic objectives in physical education and athletics at Golden Valley Lutheran College are to teach the value of good health and physical fitness, to cultivate interest in the proper use of leisure time, to develop character and good sportsmanship and to give instruction in various sports and games used in recreational activities. Intercollegiate athletic competition for men is available in football, baseball, basketball, wrestling, track, marathon, and cross country. The College is a member of the Minnesota Community College Conference, and the National Junior College Athletic Association. Women may participate in intercollegiate basketball, cross country, softball, volleyball, marathon and track competition. An intramural program is available for both men and women. MUSIC Golden Valley Lutheran College is sensitive to the cultural and spiritual value that music plays in the life of any society. It desires, therefore, to cultivate and nurture student interest and participation in music by giving opportunity for self-expression as a member of a performing group. These organizations include the Golden Valley Lutheran College Choir, a selected group of 65 voices; the Madrigal Singers, a smaller ensemble which specializes in certain types of music literature; the Golden Valley Singers, a women's chorus; a pep band and concert band; the Golden Valley Orchestra, a community and College organization; and various vocal and instrumental ensembles. In addition to specific courses in the field of music, the College gives opportunity for private lessons in voice and instrumental study. The location of Golden Valley Lutheran College within the Twin City area makes it easy for students to gain a new appreciation of the fine arts. Various community concerts, the Minnesota Orchestra, the Minneapolis Civic Orchestra, and programs given by other colleges and the University of Minnesota, offer continuing opportunities for cultural enrichment. STUDENT LIFE 15 DRAMA The drama program at Golden Valley Lutheran College is two-fold in its purpose: it attempts to expose the student to the inner workings of the College theatre, and it seeks to foster a sense of appreciation for dramatics by encouraging active participation in the field.

FINANCIAL AID 23 Financial Aid Golden Valley Lutheran College is concerned with the financial problems of students who wish to continue their formal education. In order to assist students with inadequate financial resources, the Financial Aid Committee coordinates a program of financial aid based on the student's academic achievement, special abilities, and financial need. Basically, there are three sources of financial aid: Federal Government State of Minnesota Golden Valley Lutheran College There are three forms of aid: Gift Aid Loans Student Employment All types of financial assistance are made for only one academic year, but students may expect to receive their financial assistance for the second year if they remain in good academic and personal standing and if their financial need continues. If a student withdraws during the quarter, he or she forfeits the entire amount of gift aid that was awarded from College funds for that quarter as well as proportionate amounts awarded from state or federal funds for that quarter. GIFT AID Gift Aid is a categorial name given to all awards from GVLC plus the Pell Grant (formerly BEOG), Supplemental Education Opportunity Grant (SEOG), and th'e Minnesota State Scholarship/Grant Program (MSS/G). Such awards do not have to be repaid. 24 GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE Pell Grant:This grant is provided by the Federal Government based on financial need. The amount is derived from uniform methodology, using family and student financial information. All students applying for financial assistance at GVLC are required to apply for this grant. Golden Valley Lutheran College President's Scholarship: This scholarship is available only to the gifted student who has demonstrated outstanding leadership in a given field and attained an unusual degree of academic excellence. A recipient must be ranked in the upper ten percent of his or her high school or college class and be willing to provide leadership in music, sports, theatre or other college related activities. The President's Scholarship may be awarded without regard to financial need but if a recipient has a demonstrated financial need, the Federal and State guidelines for financial assistance must be followed. The amount of the scholarship may vary depending upon circumstances. Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant: Awarded by the Federal Government through the College, these funds allow GVLC to make awards of $200 or more to students who show financial need based on uniform methodology. Golden Valley Lutheran College Gift Aid: Includes all awards granted for scholarship, athletics, Christian service, drama and music as well as the GVLC financial need grants. These awards are based on demonstrated excellence in specified areas and financial need as defined by the ACT (American College Testing) Family Financial Statement. The GVLC GiftAid awarded to new students is based on their high school achievement, while the Gift Aid awarded to returning students is based on participation and achievement while enrolled at GVLC. One-third of the award is credited to the student's account each quarter. Minnesota State Scholarship/Grant Program: Available to qualified Minnesota residents each year depending upon financial need. All Minnesota residents who apply for financial aid at GVLC are expected to apply for this aid. Contact your high school counselor or the GVLC Financial Aid Office for exact information because requirements and deadlines vary from year to year. Other Grants: There are a number of grants and scholarships available from other sources. The student is encouraged to consult his/ her high school counselor and the Director of Financial Aid at GVLC for other federal, state, and community-sponsored scholarships and grants. FINANCIAL AID 25 DEFERRED PAYMENT LOANS National Direct Student Loans (NDSL)- Federal NDSL Loans are available to students who have financial need and have been accepted for ad mission to Golden Valley Lutheran College. Repayment and interest do not begin until nine months after the student completes his/her studies. The interest rate is 5%, and repayment may be extended over a ten-year period. Part of the loan is forgiven if the student enters certain fields of teaching or specified military duty. Guaranteed Student Loans: The Student may borrow up to $2,500 per year at 9% interest from a bank and the federal government will pay the interest during the time the student is in college. The borrower pays the principal and 9% interest during the repayment period. When a bank will not give the loan, the student may borrow up to $2,500 per year at 9% interest from the Minnesota State Student Loan program. First year students are limited to$1,500 per loan, but may apply for a second loan under the $2,500 limit. The federal government will pay the interest during the time the student is in college. The borrower pays the principal and 9% interest during the repayment period. These loans are processed through the GVLC Financial Aid Office. Parent Loan for Undergraduate Students: When necessary an application can be made for a Parent Loan for Undergraduate Students (PLUS). The parent can apply for up to $3,000 per academic year to be used for educational expenses. This is a 14% loan and repayment must begin 60 days after disbursement, with terms to be worked out with the lender. The Financial Aid Office has a list of private institutions which are participating in this program. Our list, however, is incomplete and parents are free to inquire at the lending institution of their choice. Lutheran Brotherhood Loan - If a member of the student's family holds a Lutheran Brotherhood Insurance policy, a student may borrow up to $2,500 per year from the Lutheran Brotherhood Insurance Society at the same terms described under Federal Insured Student Loans. STUDENT EMPLOYMENT College Work-Study Program-Golden Valley Lutheran College participates in State and Federal Work-Study Programs. The student's eligibility depends on his/her financial need and individual skills. 26 GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE Student Part-time Employment- The College offers a variety of campus jobs with moderate pay. In addition, there are numerous part-time employment positions available in the Twin Cities and surrounding suburban areas. The Student Employment Office maintains a listing of opportunities available. PROCEDURE FOR APPLYING FOR FINANCIAL AID Any student wishing to apply for financial aid must first make proper application through the admissions department and be admitted to the college. The basic forms to determine financial aid need are the Family Financial Statement (FFS) from ACT, or the Financial Aid Form (FAF) from CSS. Many qualified students fail to receive financial assistance because they neglect to get their financial statements submitted on time. Minnesota residents must file their FFS by April 1, 1982 to be eligible for priority consideration from the Minnesota State Scholarship/Grant Program. As soon as all pertinent information has been assembled, our Office of Student Financial Aid sends the applicant student an "Aid Package." A student must accept the aid package within 15 days to be guaranteed the funds . Because of the many Federal and State changes in financial assistance to students, it is necessary to expect students to contribute part of their summer earnings toward the cost of education. The Federal Government also has established an amount that each family is expected to contribute to the educational expenses of a son or daughter. In summary, it is believed that Federal and State assistance programs, plus the financial aid available through Golden Valley Lutheran College, places two years of quality college education within the reach of all who desire it. SCHOLARSHIPS The AAL Lutheran Campus Scholarship Program is for students who hold a certificate of membership and insurance from the Aid Association for Lutherans.

THE ACADEMIC PROGRAM 29 The Academic Program Golden Valley Lutheran College grants three types of two-year completion awards: the Associate in Arts Degree (Liberal Arts and Transfer Program), the Associate in Arts Degree (Specialized Program), and the Junior College Certificate. A one-year Vocational Certificate is awarded for completion of a selected one-year vocational curriculum. In addition there are specialized programs of study available for certain qualified students who do not seek a graduation award. The academic program at Golden Valley Lutheran College is basically liberal arts and allows one to concentrate in the area of general education, Biblical and theological studies, or a specific vocation. Students who eventually plan to attain a four-year liberal arts degree are encouraged to get the general education requirements satisfied while at GVLC, thus allowing them to concentrate chiefly on their major and minor areas of study during the last two years of college. General education courses ask the student to know something of the world of nature and scientific method, of the society in which he or she lives and in which one has a part to play, of the historic perspective and human achievements called the fine arts and humanities, and of the eternal values perceived in Biblical and theological studies. GENERAL ACADEMIC INFORMATION Credit Load and Student Classification A normal credit load consists of 16 hours per term. Exception to this credit load will be considered in consultation with a student's 30 GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE faculty advisor. Permission to take more than 18 credits must be granted by the Academic Dean. Students enrolled for 12 or more credit-hours per term wi!! be considered fu!! time. Those vvith less than 12 credit-hours will be considered part-time students. A student who has earned less than 45 cumulative credits will be classified as a freshman. A student who has earned 45 or more cumulative credits will be classified as a sophomore. The auditing of courses is not encouraged since classroom capacities are needed by students interested in earning college credit. Auditors are required to do all work assigned by the instructor and tuition costs are the same as costs for credit. Grading and Honor Point System A student's grade point average is figured at the end of each term and is determined by dividing the number of earned honor points by the number of earned credits. Honor points are computed by the following scale: Grade A B c Honor Points Per Credit 4 3 2 D 1 F I 0 w WF s u 0 0 0 0 Superior Above Average Average Below Average Failure Incomplete* Withdrawn** Withdrawn, failing** Satisfactory*** Unsatisfactory*** *Incomplete work, receiving a grade of I, must be made upÂ· satisfactorily by the end of the fourth week of the next term the student attends. If a student desires an extension beyond four weeks, he or she must secure approval of the instructor involved and must petition the Scholastic Standing Committee for the extension. If the work is not completed, the grade becomes an F. **Withdrawals after the third week of classes and through mid-term are indicated by W or WF (to be determined by the instructor); and afterthe mid-term and until the last regularly scheduled class day of each quarter by a W, WF, of Fas determined by the instructor. THE ACADEMIC PROGRAM 31 ***The grading system of Sand U is used only for those courses which are taken to meet the requirements of the Junior College Certificate. An S counts as two honor points per credit for the Junior College Certificate only and will not be credited toward an Associate in Arts Degree. The U grade yields no honor points or credits. Academic Honors An Honors List composed of those students who have earned a grade point average of 3.00-3.49 is compiled at the end of each term. Those students who achieve a grade point average of 3.50 or better are included on the Dean's List. Academic Progress In accordance with policies established by the administration and faculty, a student will be counseled in relation to academic progress toward the Associate in Arts degree: (a) when his or her grade point average for any quarter is less than 2.00; (b) when his or her transcript shows two or more grades of I (Incomplete) in one quarter. If a student's grade point average falls below 1.50 for any quarter, he or she will be placed on academic probation until the grade point average is raised to 1.50 or above. The College reserves the right to dismiss a student if his or her academic performance is regarded as unsatisfactory. Eligibility for Varsity Sports Eligibility rules for participation in varsity sports at Golden Valley Lutheran College conform to the National Junior College Athletic Association eligibility rules. In general, in order to participate in a varsity sport, a student must be a full-time (12 credits) student during the qualifying and competing quarter. He or she must earn a grade point average of 1.5 or better in at least 10 hours of course work listed in the College Catalog. Freshmen enrolled at GVLC in their first quarter of college are exempt from the qualifying quarter requirements.

(See NJCAA Eligibility Rules.) 32 GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE Repeating A Course A student may repeat only courses in which a grade of Dor F has been received. The intention to repeat a course must be certified at the time of registration for the course. if a student repeats a course in which a Dor F grade has been received, only the more recent grade and credit earned will be included in the computation of the grade point average. Both grades, however, will remain on the student's permanent record. Class Attendance Each student is responsible for completing work as required in each class. With respect to unexcused absences, excused absences, or make-up work, it is the student's responsibility to learn the policy of each instructor. The instructor's policy is usually stated in the course outline. At the discretion of the instructor, a student may be expelled from the course for an excessive number of unexcused absences or uncompleted assignments. Independent Study A maximum of six credits in Independent Study may be applied toward the Associate in Arts Degree. The student must meet the criteria established by the department and have the approval of the chairman of the department in which he plans to do the study. Standards require a 3.0 average in the department in which Independent Study is taken, a limit of four credits per term in Independent Study, and a demonstration of relevance to the student's academic objectives. Independent Study applications are available in the Registrar's Office. Bible and English Requirements All students enrolled at Golden Valley Lutheran College are required to take one Bible course each quarter if they are enrolled for eight credits in Divisions other than Bible. The only exception is the student who has taken extra Bible courses in previous quarters. A student who transfers from another college is not required to complete the full 18 credits in Bible for graduation but is required to take one course each quarter while enrolled at GVLC. History 102, English 230, and Greek 101, 102, 103 and all of the courses listed in the Department of Biblical Studies are open to the student for selection.

THE ACADEMIC PROGRAM 33 Activity Credits A total of nine credits in co-curricular activities may be applied toward an Associate in Arts Degree. The three credits of required physical education are not included in this category, however one physical education credit toward the requirement will be given for varsity sports.

Co-curricular activities include all music ensembles, Theatre Practice, Christian Service, additional physical education activity courses after required courses are completed, and activity credits that a transfer student might bring to Golden Valley Lutheran College. In each case the student must indicate during registration whether the activity Â·is being taken for credit or non-credit. With regard to co-curricular activities other than varsity sports, a student who earns a grade point average of less than 1.5 for a quarter may have co-curricular activities curtailed or programs of study reduced, at the discretion of the Scholastic Standing Committee. Credit by Special Examination Under special circumstances, a student may seek to gain credits or exemption by special examination, in accordance with specific departmental policies.

Golden Valley Lutheran College was established with the main purpose of providing an opportunity for the student to develop a philosophy of life founded on Christian convictions. We strive to provide this foundation for life by emphasizing a personalized education which includes the opportunity for the study of both liberal arts and the Scriptures, a curriculum which we feel will best help the student understand the world in which he will be living and working. We ask that those who come have an open mind, a grateful heart, and a desire to learn. Preparation for "making a living" is not sufficient for the Christian today. Golden Valley Lutheran College is also designed to provide an education which will serve as preparation for "making a life." Bernt C. Opsal, President Gl:NERAL INFORMAllON 7 General Information HISTORY Golden Valley Lutheran College is a two-year coeducational liberal arts college established in 1967 by The Lutheran Bible Institute of Minneapolis which had been engaged in adult Christian education since 1919. Beginning as a Bible school in 1919, The Lutheran Bible Institute moved from St. Paul to Minneapolis in 1929, and to Golden Valley, a suburb four miles west of downtown Minneapolis, in 1961. Through the years this educational institution has addressed itself to the needs of young people and has sought to meet those needs by establishing programs appropriate to the times. The College is inter-Lutheran and is not directly affiliated with any particular Lutheran synod. It cooperates with and seeks to serve all synods and society as a whole. The College admits qualified men and women from various geographic, cultural, ecohomic, racial, and religious backgrounds. THE CAMPUS AND ITS LOCATION Golden Valley Lutheran College is located on a beautiful 30-acre campus in Golden Valley, a western suburb of Minneapolis which is the cultural, recreational, and sports center of the Upper Midwest. The academic life of the students is centered in a large split-level complex. Classrooms, library, faculty and administrative offices, a prayer chapel, the College auditorium-gymnasium, cafeteria and lounges are located in this building. · Four residence halls on campus, Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and Delta dormitories, house approximately 400 students. The facilities· incJude fireplace lounges, laundry facilities, rooms for prayer a:nd 8 GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE meditation, and apartments for residence counselors.

PHILOSOPHY AND OBJECTIVES Golden Valley Lutheran College is a liberal arts institution with a program of studies in the areas of general education, Biblical literature, music, physical development, and semi-professional training. Its primary purpose is to provide two years of higher education for students interested in the arts and sciences, and also piovide opportunity for a study of the sources oi the Christian faith. Through special activities the College provides the basis for personal growth and cultural enrichment, and encourages students to participate in community and church activities. In order to reach these goals, Golden Valley Lutheran College offers students a choice of one of the following curricula: 1. Completion of a two-year liberal arts education that functions according to the standards common to the academic enterprise and that prepares the student to transfer to a four-year college or university. 2. The completion of a two-year program provides the basis for semi-professional employment in the fields of parish work, missions, secretarial work, social service and recreational leadership. 3. Study of the Bible and liberal arts in a collegiate setting for individuals who do not intend to pursue a degree or semi-professional programs. Golden Valley Lutheran College strives to supplement these curricular programs by emphasizing the following objectives with opportunities ... . . . to develop knowledge of the Hebrew-Christian world view as set forth in the literature of the Old and New Testaments and an analysis on the part of each student concerning his or her basic beliefs and spiritual commitments . . . . to develop service motivated standards of conduct for young adults as they move into the many areas of national life, including social improvement, community involvement and active membership in Christian congregations . . . . to appreciate the great works of art, music and the theater through courses and cultural events on the campus and through the extensive presentations offered by the metropolitan surroundings of the College. GENERAL INFORMATION 9 ... to attain physical well-being through the application of standards conducive to good health and participation in physical education and sports activities . . . . to develop personal self-confidence through the determination of individual goals, the building of relationships with other people and the experience of companionship in a Christian setting.

Each student is expected to be familiar with the regulations and standards pertaining to student conduct as described in the Student Life Handbook. Chapel All classes are dismissed each morning for a 25-minute chapel program. These programs are varied in content. Some are in the nature of worship services conducted by students, faculty, or guest speakers, while others include films, lectures, drama, music or other special convocation programs. Each student is encouraged to participate fully in the daily chapel services of the College community. He or she is also encouraged to attend public worship every Sunday in the church of ones choice.

Those who do need an automobile or motorcycle must secure a parking permit through the business office.

STUDENT PERSONNEL 11 Student Personnel Services NEW STUDENT ORIENTATION Prior to the start of the fall quarter, new students are invited to the campus to participate in orientation activities. During this time the student will have an opportunity to learn more about the College and meet staff and faculty personnel who will assist in course planning for the coming year. The orientation period also includes a series of ability and personality tests which are used to help provide a more effective counseling service for students. Selected upperclassmen are available to help the new students become familiar with and adjust to college life. COUNSELING SERVICES The major decisions which students have to make during their early college years are often difficult and perplexing. Counseling provides a service which helps students learn ways of solving their academic, social, personal, and vocational problems. The College counselors are available to assist students in clarifying or establishing appropriate educational and vocational goals, to help the students evaluate aptitude and interests, to help them plan programs in preparation for further study, and to help them deal with personal and/or emotional problems. Each student is assigned to a faculty advisor who will assist him or her in planning an appropriate schedule of classes for each aca.. demic term or with other aspects of college life. In addition to the 12 GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE assigned faculty advisor, each student may make appointments to visit Vv'ith instructors, Residence Hall Directors, the deans, the Co!lege nurse or others on the staff who can give assistance if difficulties are encountered. Study skills assistance is provided for students who need to improve their reading rate, reading comprehension, spelling, mathematics skills, study skills, or writing skills. Students seeking this assistance should register for one of the Personal Orientation courses described on page 63.

In fact, 35% of the cost of operation must come from gifts and grants. In the present budget this amounts to $700,000 a year. Therefore, over and above all help s/he may get, each student receives the equivalent of a $1200 scholarship per year in order to cover the total expenses of the operation.

FINANCIAL AID 23 Financial Aid Golden Valley Lutheran College offers several· kinds of financial aid to help students and their parents defray the expenses incurred by the student's college education. All such awards are made by the Financial Aid Committee and are based on the student's academic achievement, special abilities, and financial need. Basically, there are three sources of financial aid: Federal Government State of Minnesota Golden Valley Lutheran College There are three forms of aid: Gift Aid Loans Student Employment All types of financial assistance are made for only one academic year, but students may expect to receive their financial assistance for the second year if they remain in good academic and personal standing and if their financial need continues. If a student withdraws during the quarter, he or she forfeits the entire amount of gift aid that was awarded from College funds for that quarter as well as proportionate amounts awarded from state or federal funds for that quarter. GIFT AID Gift Aid is a categorical name given to all awards from GVLC plus the Basic Educational Opportunity Grant, Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant and the Minnesota State Scholarship/ Grant Program. These awards do not have to be repaid. Basic Educational Opportunity Grant-A grant provided by the 24 GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE Federal Government based on financial need. Th.e amount is determined by a formula based on expected parental contribution from income and assets. Students applying for financial aid from the College will be expected to apply for this grant. Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant-Awarded by the Federal Government through the College, these funds allow GVLC to make awards of $200 or more to students who show exceptional financial need. Golden Valley Lutheran College Gift Aid-Includes all awards in the areas of academics, athletics, Christian service, drama and music as well as the GVLC financial need grants. These awards are based on demonstrated excellence in the specified skill area and financial need as defined by the ACT (American College Testing) Family Financial Statement. The GVLC Gift Aid awarded to freshmen is based on their high school achievement, while the Gift Aid awarded to sophomores is based on participation and achievement while freshmen at GVLC. One-third of the award is credited to the student's account each quarter. Minnesota State Scholarship/Grant Program-Available to Minnesota residents with awards up to $1,250 per year depending on need. All Minnesota residents who apply for financial aid at GVLC are expected to apply for this aid. Contact your high school counselor or the GVLC Financial Aid Office for specifics because filing details (such as deadlines) vary from year to year. Other Grants- There are a number of grants and scholarships available from other sources. The student is encouraged to consult his/her high school counselor and the College's Director of Financial Aid for other federal, state, and community-sponsored scholarships and grants. DEFERRED PAYMENT LOANS National Direct Student Loans (NDSL)-Federal NDSL Loans are available to students who have financial need and have been accepted for admission to Golden Valley Lutheran College. Repayment and interest do not begin until nine months after the student completes his/her studies. The interest rate is 3%, and repayment may be extended over a ten-year period. Part of the loan is forgiven if the student enters certain fields of teaching or specified military duty. Guaranteed Student Loans-The student may borrow up to $2,500 per year at 7% interest from a bank, and the federal government will pay the interest during the time the student is in college. The borrower pays the principal and 7% interest during the repayment period. FINANCIAL AID 25 When a bank will not give the loan, the student may borrow up to $2,500 per year at 7% interest from the Minnesota State Student Loan program. First year students are limited to $1,500 per loan, but may apply for second loans under the $2,500 limit. The federal government will pay the interest during the time the student is in college. The borrower pays the principal and 7% interest during the repayment period. These loans are processed through the GVLC Financial Aid Office. Lutheran Brotherhood loan-If a member of the student's family holds a Lutheran Brotherhood Insurance policy, a student may borrow up to $2,500 per year from the Lutheran Brotherhood Insurance Society at the same terms described under Federal Insured Student Loans. STUDENT EMPLOYMENT College Work-Study Program-Golden Valley Lutheran College participates in State and Federal Work-Study Programs. The student's eligibility depends on his/her financial need and individual skills. Student Part-time Employment- The College offers a variety of campus jobs with moderate pay. In addition, there are numerous part-time employment positions available in the Twin Cities and surrounding suburban areas. The Student Employment Office maintains a listing of opportunities available. PROCEDURE FOR APPL YING FOR FINANCIAL AID In general, no financial aid is offered to entering freshmen until they have declared their intention to attend. The first step, then, is to apply and be admitted to the College. In addition to the application for admission, the student must complete an application for financial aid and return it to the Admissions Office. The next step is to obtain from the high school counselor an ACT Family Financial Staiement as this is the basic means used to determine financial need. Many otherwise qualified students fail to receive financial assistance simply because they failed to get their financial statements sent in early enough; they should be on file before March 1. Minnesota residents must file the ACT Family Financial Statement by March 1 to be eligible for the Minnesota State Scholarship/Grant Program. 26 GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE Students who complete the above process can expect to hear from the Director of Financial Aid as soon as a!! pertinent information can be assembled. Once a qualified student receives the resulting Financial Aid "Package," he or she must indicate acceptance within three weeks of the date of receipt.

THE ACADEMIC PROGRAM 29 The Academic Program Golden Valley Lutheran College grants three types of two-year completion awards: the Associate in Arts Degree (Liberal Arts and Transfer Program), the Associate in Arts Degree (Specialized Program), and the Junior College Certificate. A one-year Vocational Certificate is awarded for completion of a selected one-year vocational curriculum. In addition there are specialized programs of study available for certain qualified students who do not seek a graduation award. The academic program at Golden Valley Lutheran College is basically liberaf arts and allows one to concentrate in the area of general education, Biblical and theological studies, or a specific vocation. Students who eventually plan to attain a four-year liberal arts degree are encouraged to get the general education requirements satisfied while at GVLC, thus allowing them to concentrate chiefly on their major and minor areas of study during the last two years of college. General education courses ask the student to know something of the world of nature and scientific method, of the society in which he or she lives and in which one has a part to play, of the historic perspective and human achievements called the fine arts and humanities, and of the eternal values perceived in Biblical and theological studies. GENERAL ACADEMIC INFORMATION Credit Load and Student Classification A normal credit load consists of 16 hours per term. Exception to this credit load will be considered in consultation with a student's 30 GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE faculty advisor. Permission to take more than 18 credits must be granted by the Academic Dean. Students enro!!ed for 12 or more credit-hours per term will be considered full-time; those with less than 12 credit-hours will be considered part-time students. A student who has earned less than 45 cumulative credits will be classified as a freshman; a student who has earned 45 or more cumulative credits will be classified as a sophomore. The auditing of courses is not encouraged since classroom capacities are needed by students interested in earning college credit. Auditors are required to do all work assigned by the instructor and tuition costs are the same as costs for credit. Grading and Honor Point System A student's grade point average is figured at the end of each term and is determined by dividing the number of earned honor points by the number of earned credits. Honor points are computed by the following scale: Grade A B c Honor Points Per Credit 4 3 2 D 1 F I 0 w WF s u 0 0 0 0 Superior Above Average Average Below Average Failure Incomplete* Withdrawn** Withdrawn, failing** Satisfactory*** Unsatisfactory*** *Incomplete work, receiving a grade of I, must be made up satisfactorily by the end of the fourth week of the next term the student attends. If a student wants an extension beyond four weeks, he or she must secure approval of the instructor involved and must petition the Scholastic Standing Committee for the extension. If the work is not completed, the grade becomes an F. **Withdrawals through the third week of classes are indicated by W; after that time and through Mid-term by W or WF (to be determined by the instructor); and after the mid-term and until the last regularly scheduled class day of each quarter by a W, WF, or Fas determined by the instructor. THE ACADEMIC PROGRAM 31 ***An optional grading system of Sand U may be used at the discretion of the instructor for non-transferable credit. If a student is to work for an S instead of a letter grade, the decision must be determined by the instructor and the student before the sixth week of the quarter. An S counts as two honor points per credit for the Junior College Certificate only and will not be credited toward an Associate in Arts degree. Academic Honors An Honors List composed of those students who have earned a grade point average of 3.00-3.49 is compiled at the end of each term. Those students who achieve a grade point average of 3.50 or better are included on the Dean's List. Unsatisfactory Academic Progress In accordance with policies established by the administration and faculty, a student will be counseled in relation to unsatisfactory progress toward the Associate in Arts degree: (a) when his or her grade point average for any quarter is less than 2.00; (b) when his or her transcript shows two or more grades of I (Incomplete) in one quarter. If a student's grade point average falls below 1.50 for any quarter, he or she will be placed on academic probation until the grade point average is raised to 1 .50 or above. A student who persists in a pattern of unsatisfactory progress may be dismissed from college. Eligibility for Varsity Sports Eligibility rules for participation in varsity sports at Golden Valley Lutheran College conform to the National Junior College Athletic Association eligibility rules. In general, in order to participate in a varsity sport, a student must be a full-time (12 credits) student during the qualifying and competing quarter. He or she must earn a grade point average of 1.5 or better in at least 10 hours of course work listed in the College catalog. Freshmen enrolled at GVLC in their first quarter of college are exempt from the qualifying quarter requirements. A student's eligibility is reviewed each quarter and all hours of a complete course (subject) must be counted in computing a student's grade point average. (See NJCAA Eligibility Rules.) With regard to co-curricular activities other than varsity sports, a student who earns a grade point average of less than 1.5 for a quarter may have co-curricular activities curtailed or programs of study reduced, at the discretion of the Scholastic Standing Committee. 32 GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE Repeating A Course A student may repeat only courses in which a grade of Dor F has been received. The intention to repeat a course must be certified at the time of registration for the course. If a student repeats a course in which a D or F grade has been received, only the more recent grade earned will be entered on the student's transcript and included in the computation of the grade point average. Class Attendance Each student is responsible for completing work as required in each class. With respect to unexcused absences, excused absences, or make-up work, it is the student's responsibility to learn the policy of each instructor. The instructor's policy is usually stated in the course outline. At the discretion of the instructor, a student may be expelled from the course for an excessive number of unexcused absences or uncompleted assignments. Independent Study A maximum of six credits in Independent Study may be applied toward the Associate in Arts Degree. The student must meet the criteria established by the department and have the approval of the chairman of the department in which he plans to do the study. Standards require a 3.0 average in the department in which Independent Study is taken, a limit of four credits per term in Independent Study, and a demonstration of relevance to the student's objectives. Independent Study applications are available in the Registrar's Office. Bible and English Requirements All students enrolled at Golden Valley Lutheran College are required to take one Bible course each quarter if they are enrolled for eight credits in Divisions other than Bible. The only exception is the student who has taken extra Bible courses in previous quarters. A student who transfers from another college is not required to complete the full 18 credits in Bible for graduation but is required to take one course each quarter while enrolled at GVLC. History 102, English 230, and Greek 101, 102, 103 and all of the courses listed in the Department of Biblical Studies are open to the student for selection. The suggested Bible core sequence is listed on pages 57-58. All freshmen students are required to take the sequence in College English (English 111, 112, 113). THE ACADEMIC PROGRAM 33 Activity Credits A total of nine credits in co-curricular activities may be applied toward an Associate in Arts Degree. The three credits of required physical education are not included in this category, however one physical education credit toward the requirement will be given for varsity sports. (If the student plays on a varsity team two years, only one credit will be granted for the sport.) Co-curricular activities include the Golden Valley Lutheran College Choir, Golden Valley Singers, Madrigal Singers, Band, Golden Valley Orchestra, Theater Practice, Christian Service, additional physical education activity courses after required courses are completed, and activity credits that a transfer student might bring to Golden Valley Lutheran College. In each case the student must indicate during registration whether the activity is being taken for credit or non-credit. Credit by Special Examination Under special circumstances, a student may seek to gain credits or exemption by special examination, in accordance with specific departmental policies. Admission of Transfer Students College work done at other accredited institutions may be applied toward a degree or certificate at Golden Valley Lutheran College. Transfer students are required to follow regular admissions procedure and submit an official transcript of record from each college attended. Credit for the college work done, if satisfactory in grade and applicable toward the College's divisional degree requirements, will be accepted toward an Associate in Arts Degree. Golden Valley Lutheran College will not accept D's in transfer except by special petition approved by the Scholastic Standing Committee. The actual number of credits earned at other institutions are entered on the student's record, but transferred credits and grade points are not included in the computation of the grade point average. Withdrawals from the College If a student wishes to withdraw from the College during any term, application for this action must be made in the Office of the Registrar. An unauthorized withdrawal results in failure in all courses. Partial refunds on fees already paid will be based on the time the application was approved. (See page 22.) 34 GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE REGISTRATION New students must report to the College for Orientation Days as indicated in the calendar in this catalog. Both new and returning students are required to register on the days indicated in the calendar. Registration is not completed until the student has made settlement for the quarter charges at the Bookkeeping Office. Until such settlement has been made, the student is not eligible to attend any class or individual lesson. Changes in Registration Necessary changes to eliminate conflicts and to correct evident mistakes in registration may be permitted during the first ten days of classes, upon the written approval of the Academic Dean, the advisor, and the teachers concerned. A Change of Course Permit for this purpose may be obtained in the Registrar's Office. After the tenth day, no regularly scheduled classes may be added except upon petition and favorable action by the Academic Affairs Committee. Petition forms are available from the Registrar's Office. There is a $1.00 fee for each change in registration after the tenth day of classes. Withdrawals through the third week of classes are indicated by W; after that time and through Mid-term by W or WF (to be determined by the instructor); and after Mid-term and until the last regularly scheduled class day of each quarter by a W, WF, or F as determined by the instructor. A student may not drop a course after final examinations begin. THE ACADEMIC PROGRAM 35 GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS 37 Graduation Requirements Applicants for admission should study the requirements for graduation outlined in this section of the catalog and plan the college program as a whole as early as possible. A student who is in doubt about how certain requirements are interpreted should consult with an advisor, the Registrar or the Academic Dean. When circumstances might warrant a justifiable modification in a requirement, a petition (obtained from the Registrar) should be submitted to the Committee on Academic Affairs. The responsibility rests with the student for seeing that his or her program includes all requirements for graduation. The advisors, the Academic Dean, and the Registrar will gladly assist in every way possible.

Golden Valley Lutheran College was established with the main purpose of providing an opportunity for the student to develop a philosophy of life founded on Christian convictions. We strive to provide this foundation for life by emphasizing a personalized education which includes the opportunity for the study of both liberal arts and the Scriptures, a curriculum which we feel will best help the student understand the world in which he will be living and working. We ask that those who come have an open mind, a grateful heart, and a desire to learn. Preparation for "making a living" is not sufficient for the Christian today. Golden Valley Lutheran College is also designed to provide an education which will serve as preparation for "making a life." Bernt C. Opsal, President GENERAL INFORMATION 7 General Information HISTORY Golden Valley Lutheran College is a two-year coeducational liberal arts college established in 1967 by The Lutheran Bible Institute of Minneapolis which had been engaged in adult Christian education since 1919. Beginning as a Bible school in 1919, The Lutheran Bible Institute moved from St. Paul to Minneapolis in 1929, and to Golden Valley, a suburb four miles west of downtown Minneapolis, in 1961. Through the years this educational institution has addressed itself to the needs of young people and has sought to meet those needs by establishing programs appropriate to the times. The College is inter-Lutheran and is not directly affiliated with any particular Lutheran synod. It cooperates with and seeks to serve all synods and society as a whole. The College admits qualified men and women from various geographic, cultural, economic, racial, and religious backgrounds. THE CAMPUS AND ITS LOCATION Golden Valley Lutheran College is located on a beautiful 30-acre campus in Golden Valley, a western suburb of Minneapolis which is the cultural, recreational, and sports center of the Upper Midwest. The academic life of the students is centered in a large split-level complex. Classrooms, library, faculty and administrative offices, a prayer chapel, the College auditorium-gymnasium, cafeteria and lounges are located in this building. · Four residence halls on campus, Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and Delta dormitories, house approximately 400 students. The facilities include fireplace lounges, laundry facilities, rooms for prayer and 8 GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE meditation, and apartments for residence counselors. Adjacent to Gamma dormitory is the Commons, a student lounge and recreation area. A student center with a grill is located in Delta dormitory. PHILOSOPHY AND OBJECTIVES Golden Valley Lutheran College is a liberal arts institution with a program of studies in the areas of general education, Biblical literature, music, physical development, and semi-professional training. Its primary purpose is to provide two years of higher education for students interested in the arts and sciences, and also provide opportunity for a study of the sources oi the Christian faith. Through special activities the College provides the basis for personal growth and cultural enrichment, and encourages students to participate in community and church activities. In order to reach these goals, Golden Valley Lutheran College offers students a choice of one of the following curricula: 1. Completion of a two-year liberal arts education that functions according to the standards common to the academic enterprise and that prepares the student to transfer to a four-year college or university. 2. The completion of a two-year program provides the basis for semi-professional employment in the fields of parish work, missions, secretarial work, social service and recreational leadership. 3. Study of the Bible and liberal arts in a collegiate setting for individuals who do not intend to pursue a degree or semi-professional programs. Golden Valley Lutheran College strives to supplement these curricular programs by emphasizing the following objectives with opportunities ... . . . to develop knowledge of the Hebrew-Christian world view as set forth in the literature of the Old and New Testaments and an analysis on the part of each student concerning his or her basic beliefs and spiritual commitments . . . . to develop service motivated standards of conduct for young adults as they move into the many areas of national life, including social improvement, community involvement and active membership in Christian congregations . . . . to appreciate the great works of art, music and the theater through courses and cultural events on the campus and through the extensive presentations offered by the metropolitan surroundings of the College. GENERAL INFORMATION 9 ... to attain physical well-being through the application of standards conducive to good health and participation in physical education and sports activities . . . . to develop personal self-confidence through the determination of individual goals, the building of relationships with other people and the experience of companionship in a Christian setting. ACCREDITATION, AFFILIATIONS AND TRANSFER OF CREDIT Golden Valley Lutheran College received regional accreditation through the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools in July of 1978. Thus, entering students can be confident that if they make a creditable record at Golden Val_ley Lutheran College, their credits will be accepted elsewhere in the academic community. Affiliations Lutheran Educational Conference of North America National Association of Independent Colleges and Universities American Association of Community and Junior Colleges Association of Minnesota Colleges Minnesota Association of Community and Junior Colleges Minnesota Junior College Athletic Association National Junior College Athletic Association-Region XIII Minnesota Community College Women's Athletic Association Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women-Region VI Minnesota Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women Transfer of Religion Courses With reference to transfer of religion courses, it should be noted that most colleges and universities accept our courses in religion. Students who are planning to continue their education at a college with limited transfer of religion credits may register for the religion courses which are listed in the liberal arts departments. Through the proper selection, most religion courses are transferable, and a student with a sat"isfactory academic record can normally complete a Bachelor's degree two full academic years after receiving the A.A. degree from Golden Valley Lutheran College. GENERAL GUIDELINES Golden Valley Lutheran College is oriented to the Christian Gospel and expects its students to live accordingly. ' The College reserves the right to discipline those who conduct themselves in a manner which is not in the best interests of the 10 GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE individual, other students, or the College. Each student is expected to be familiar with the regulations and standards pertaining to student conduct as described in the Student Life Handbook. Chapel All classes are dismissed each morning for a 25-minute chapel program. These programs are varied in content. Some are in the nature of worship services conducted by students, faculty, or guest speakers, while others include films, lectures, drama, music or other special convocation programs. Each student is encouraged to participate fully in the daily chapel services of the College community. He or she is also encouraged to attend public worship every Sunday in the church of ones choice. Student Use of Automobiles Since parking space is limited on campus, those students who do not need an automobile for commuting or transportation to or from work are urged not to bring a vehicle to college. Those who do need an automobile or motorcycle must secure a parking permit through the business office. The Dean of Students shall have the right to terminate a car permit at any time if, in his opinion, circumstances warrant such action. Alcohol and Drug Abuse Golden Valley Lutheran College strongly discourages all students from using alcoholic beverages. Students possessing, using, or under the influence of alcoholic beverages on campus, in collegeapproved housing, or at college-sponsored events both on and off campus will be subject to disciplinary action. In instances where college officials are informed that Golden Valley Lutheran College students have caused a disturbance off campus in connection with the use of alcohol, the college reserves the right to take disciplinary action. Golden Valley Lutheran College upholds all federal and state statutes pertaining to the illegal use of drugs. A student who uses, possesses, or persuades someone else to use drug substances in violation of the laws will be subject to disciplinary action. The college's action will be determined by the circumstances surrounding each individual case. STUDENT PERSONNEL 11 Student Personnel Services NEW STUDENT ORIENTATION Prior to the start of the fall quarter, new students are invited to the campus to participate in orientation activities. During this time the student will have an opportunity to learn more about the College and meet staff and faculty personnel who will assist in course planning for the coming year. The orientation period also includes a series of ability and vocational interest tests which are used to help provide a more effective counseling service for students. Selected upperclassmen are available to help the new students become familiar with and adjust to college life. COUNSELING SERVICES The major decisions which students have to make during their early college years are often difficult and perplexing. Counseling provides a service which helps students learn ways of solving their academic, social, personal, and vocational problems. The College counselors are available to assist students in clarifying or establishing appropriate educational and vocational goals, to help the students evaluate aptitude and interests, and to help them plan programs in preparation for further study. Each student is assigned to a faculty advisor who will assist him or her in planning an appropriate schedule of classes for each academic term or with other aspects of college life. In addition to the 12 GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE assigned faculty advisor, each student may make appointments to visit with instructors, Residence Hall Directors, the deans, the College nurse or others on the staff who can give assistance if difficulties are encountered. Study skills assistance is provided for students who need to improve their reading rate, reading comprehension, spelling, mathematics skills, study skills, or writing skills. Students seeking this assistance should register for one of the Personal Orientation courses described on page 63. HEAL TH SERVICES The College has a registered nurse on the staff to provide basic medical services. Students requiring additional treatment are usually referred to the Golden Valley Clinic which is located less than a mile from the campus. INSURANCE The personal property of staff members and students is not covered by insurance and the college does not assume any responsibility for the loss of such property. HOUSING SERVICES Golden Valley Lutheran College is primarily a residential college. Provided space is available, all full-time students live in the College residence halls. Exceptions are those who commute from their homes, or who work for their board and room. All students living on campus are required to participate in the cafeteria program which provides three meals a day, seven days a week. The price fixed for the weekly 21 meal plan is set with the knowledge that a certain percentage of the meals will be missed during a week. Students who are commuting may purchase either their noon luncheon or evening dinner in the College cafeteria. STUDENT LIFE 13 Student Life Campus life at Golden Valley Lutheran College provides activities and experiences which help develop the student's total life. The programs of the College provide wholesome recreation together with programs that stimulate spiritual and intellectual growth. Students are involved in the planning of social activities which can enrich college life and foster friendships. STUDENT GOVERNMENT AND SOCIAL LIFE Student self-government is carried out by a Committee on Student Activities (CSA) elected by the student body. This representative group serves as a coordinator of student-faculty relations. It seeks continually to improve and make the life of the student more enjoyable. Disciplinary problems are arbitrated by a Student Judiciary Board. The social program of the College is under the supervision of the CSA. Homecoming, Sno-Daze, and the Spring Banquet are examples of the many social activities available. RELIGIOUS LIFE As an institution of Christian higher education, Golden Valley Lutheran College believes that sound ·religious life activities must be an integral part of its program. In support of this conviction, the College has regularly scheduled chapel services and Christian student organizations. Special programs include the Days of Prayer and Praise and the Christmas Festival of the Christ Child. In addition, many students participate in Christian Service activities in the community and in World Mission Fellowships. The Col- 14 GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE lege has a Fellowship of Christian Athletes chapter in which many of the athletes take an active part. There is also an opportunity to participate on youth encounter teams which travel throughout the Midwest presenting the Gospel in word and song.

Women may participate in intercollegiate basketball, cross country, softball, volleyball and track competition. An intramural program is available for both men and women. MUSIC Golden Valley Lutheran College is sensitive to the cultural and spiritual value that music plays in the life of any society. It desires, therefore, to cultivate and nurture student interest and participation in music by giving opportunity for self-expression as a member of a performing group. These organizations include the Golden Valley Lutheran College Choir, a selected group of 65 voices; the Madrigal Singers, a smaller ensemble which specializes in certain types of music literature; the Golden Valley Singers, a women's chorus; a pep band and concert band; the Golden Valley Orchestra, a community and College organization; and various vocal and instrumental ensembles.

FINANCIAL AID 23 Financial Aid Golden Valley Lutheran College offers several· kinds of financial aid to help students and their parents defray the expenses incurred by the student's college education. All such awards are made by the Financial Aid Committee and are based on the student's academic achievement, special abilities, and financial need. Basically, there are three sources of financial aid: Federal Government State of Minnesota Golden Valley Lutheran College There are three forms of aid: Gift Aid Loans Student Employment All types of financial assistance are made for only one academic year, but students may expect to receive their financial assistance for the second year if they remain in good academic and personal standing and if their financial need continues. If a student withdraws during the quarter, he or she forfeits the entire amount of gift aid that was awarded from College funds for that quarter as well as proportionate amounts awarded from state or federal funds for that quarter. GIFT AID Gift Aid is a categorical name given to all awards from GVLC plus the Basic Educational Opportunity Grant, Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant and the Minnesota State Scholarship/ Grant Program. These awards do not have to be repaid. Basic Educational Opportunity Grant-A grant provided by the 24 GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE Federal Government based on financial need. Th·e amount is determined by a formula based on expected parental contribution from income and assets. Students applying for financial aid from the College will be expected to apply for this grant. Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant-Awarded by the Federal Government through the College, these funds allow GVLC to make awards of $200 or more to students who show exceptional financial need. Golden Valley Lutheran College Gift Aid-Includes all awards in the areas of academics, athletics, Christian service, drama and music as well as the GVLC financial need grants. These awards are based on demonstrated excellence in the specified skill area and financial need as defined by the ACT (American College Testing) Family Financial Statement. The GVLC Gift Aid awarded to freshmen is based on their high school achievement, while the Gift Aid awarded to sophomores is based on participation and achievement while freshmen at GVLC. One-third of the award is credited to the student's account each quarter. Minnesota State Scholarship/Grant Program-Available to Minnesota residents with awards up to $1,250 per year depending on need. All Minnesota residents who apply for financial aid at GVLC are expected to apply for this aid. Contact your high school counselor or the GVLC Financial Aid Office for specifics because filing details (such as deadlines) vary from year to year. Other Grants- There are a number of grants and scholarships available from other sources. The student is encouraged to consult his/her high school counselor and the College's Director of Financial Aid for other federal, state, and community-sponsored scholarships and grants. DEFERRED PAYMENT LOANS National Direct Student Loans (NDSL)-Federal NDSL Loans are available to students who have financial need and have been accepted for admission to Golden Valley Lutheran College. Repayment and interest do not begin until nine months after the student completes his/her studies. The interest rate is 3%, and repayment may be extended over a ten-year period. Part of the loan is forgiven if the student enters certain fields of teaching or specified military duty. Guaranteed Student Loans- The student may borrow up to $2,500 per year at 7% interest from a bank, and the federal government will pay the interest during the time the student is in college. The borrower pays the principal and 7% interest during the repayment period. FINANCIAL AID 25 When a bank will not give the loan, the student may borrow up to $2,500 per year at 7% interest from the Minnesota State Student Loan program. First year students are limited to $1,500 per loan, but may apply for second loans under the $2,500 limit. The federal government will pay the interest during the time the student is in college. The borrower pays the principal and 7% interest during the repayment period. These loans are processed through the GVLC Financial Aid Office. Lutheran Brotherhood Loan-If a member of the student's family holds a Lutheran Brotherhood Insurance policy, a student may borrow up to $2,500 per year from the Lutheran Brotherhood Insurance Society at the same terms described under Federal Insured Student Loans. STUDENT EMPLOYMENT College Work-Study Program-Golden Valley Lutheran College participates in State and Federal Work-Study Programs. The student's eligibility depends on his/her financial need and individual skills. Student Part-time Employment- The College offers a variety of campus jobs with moderate pay. In addition, there are numerous part-time employment positions available in the Twin Cities and surrounding suburban areas. The Student Employment Office maintains a listing of opportunities available. PROCEDURE FOR APPL YING FOR FINANCIAL AID In general, no financial aid is offered to entering freshmen unti I they have declared their intention to attend. The first step, then, is to apply and be admitted to the College. In addition to the application for admission, the student must complete an application for financial aid and return it to the Admissions Office. The next step is to obtain from the high school counselor an ACT Family Financial Statement as this is the basic means used to determine financial need. Many otherwise qualified students fail to ' receive financial assistance simply because they failed to get their financial statements sent in early enough; they should be on file before March 1. Minnesota residents must file the ACT Family Financial Statement by March 1 to be eligible for the Minnesota State Scholarship/Grant Program. 26 GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE Students who complete the above process can expect to hear from the Director of Financial Aid as soon as all pertinent information can be assembled. Once a qualified student receives the resulting Financial Aid "Package," he or she must indicate acceptance within three weeks of the date of receipt.

THE ACADEMIC PROGRAM 29 The Academic Program Golden Valley Lutheran College grants three types of two-year completion awards: the Associate in Arts Degree (Liberal Arts and Transfer Program), the Associate in Arts Degree (Specialized Program), and the Junior College Certificate. A one-year Vocational Certificate is awarded for completion of a selected one-year vocational curriculum. In addition there are specialized programs of study available for certain qualified students who do not seek a graduation award. The academic program at Golden Valley Lutheran College is basically liberaf arts and allows one to concentrate in the area of general education, Biblical and theological studies, or a specific vocation. Students who eventually plan to attain a four-year liberal arts degree are encouraged to get the general education requirements satisfied while at GVLC, thus allowing them to concentrate chiefly on their major and minor areas of study during the last two years of college. General education courses ask the student to know something of the world of nature and scientific method, of the society in which he or she lives and in which one has a part to play, of the historic perspective and human achievements called the fine arts and humanities, and of the eternal values perceived in Biblical and theological studies. GENERAL ACADEMIC INFORMATION Credit Load and Student Classification A normal credit load consists of 16 hours per term. Exception to this credit load will be considered in consultation with a student's 30 GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE faculty advisor. Permission to take more than 18 credits must be granted by the Academic Dean. Students enrolled for 12 or more credit-hours per term will be considered full-time; those with less than 12 credit-hours will be considered part-time students. A student who has earned less than 45 cumulative credits will be classified as a freshman; a student who has earned 45 or more cumulative credits will be classified as a sophomore. The auditing of courses is not encouraged since classroom capacities are needed by students interested in earning college credit. Auditors are required to do all work assigned by the instructor and tuition costs are the same as costs for credit. Grading and Honor Point System A student's grade point average is figured at the end of each term and is determined by dividing the number of earned honor points by the number of earned credits. Honor points are computed by the following scale: Grade A B c D F I w WF s u Honor Points Per Credit 4 3 2 1 0 0 0 0 0 Superior Above Average Average Below Average Failure Incomplete* Withdrawn** Withdrawn, failing** Satisfactory*** Unsatisfactory*** *Incomplete work, receiving a grade of I, must be made up satisfactorily by the end of the fourth week of the next term the student attends. If a student wants an extension beyond four weeks, he or she must secure approval of the instructor involved and must petition the Scholastic Standing Committee for the extension. If the work is not completed, the grade becomes an F. **Withdrawals through the third week of classes are indicated by W; after that time and through Mid-term by W or WF (to be determined by the instructor); and after the mid-term and until the last regularly scheduled class day of each quarter by a W, WF, or Fas determined by the instructor. THE ACADEMIC PROGRAM 31 ***An optional grading system of Sand U may be used at the discretion of the instructor for non-transferable credit. If a student is to work for an S instead of a letter grade, the decision must be determined by the instructor and the student before the sixth week of the quarter. An S counts as two honor points per credit for the Junior College Certificate only and will not be credited toward an Associate in Arts degree. Academic Honors An Honors List composed of those students who have earned a grade point average of 3.00-3.49 is compiled at the end of each term. Those students who achieve a grade point average of 3.50 or better are included on the Dean's List. Unsatisfactory Academic Progress In accordance with policies established by the administration and faculty, a student will be counseled in relation to unsatisfactory progress toward the Associate in Arts degree: (a) when his or her grade point average for any quarter is less than 2.00; (b) when his or her transcript shows two or more grades of I (Incomplete) in one quarter. If a student's grade point average falls below 1.50 for any quarter, he or she will be placed on academic probation until the grade point average is raised to 1 .50 or above. A student who persists in a pattern of unsatisfactory progress may be dismissed from college. Eligibility For Varsity Sports Eligibility rules for participation in varsity sports at Golden Valley Lutheran College conform to the National Junior College Athletic Association eligibility rules. In general, in order to participate in a varsity sport, a student must earn a grade point average of 1.50 or better in at least 10 hours of course work listed in the College Catalog. A student's eligibility is reviewed each quarter and all hours of a complete course (subject) must be counted in computing a student's grade point average. (See N.J.C.A.A. Eligibility Rules.) With regard to co-curricular activities other than varsity sports, a student who earns a grade point average of less than 1 .50 for a quarter may have co-curricular activities curtailed or programs of study reduced, at-the discretion of the Scholastic Standing Committee. Repeating A Course A student may repeat only courses in which a grade of Dor F has 32 GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE been received. The intention to repeat a course must be certified at the time of registration for the course. If a student repeats a course in which a D or F grade has been received, only the more recent grade earned will be entered on the student's transcript and included in the computation of the grade point average. Class Attendance Each student is responsible for completing work as required in each class. With respect to unexcused absences, excused absences, or make-up work, it is the student's responsibility to learn the policy of each instructor. The instructor's policy is usually stated in the course outline. At the discretion of the instructor, a student may be expelled from the course for an excessive number of unexcused absences or uncompleted assignments. Independent Study A maximum of six credits in Independent Study may be applied toward the Associate in Arts Degree. The student must meet the criteria established by the department and have the approval of the chairman of the department in which he plans to do the study. Standards require a 3.0 average in the department in which Independent Study is taken, a limit of four credits per term in Independent Study, and a demonstration of relevance to the student's objectives. I ndependent Study applications are available in the Registrar's Office. Bible and English Requirements All students enrolled at Golden Valley Lutheran College are required to take one Bible course each quarter if they are enrolled for eight credits in Divisions other than Bible. The only exception is the student who has taken extra Bible courses in previous quarters. A student who transfers from another college is not required to complete the full 18 credits in Bible for graduation but is required to take one course each quarter while enrolled at GVLC. History 102, English 230, and Greek 101, 102, 103 and all of the courses listed in the Department of Biblical Studies are open to the student for selection. The suggested Bible core sequence is listed on pages 57-58. All freshmen students are required to take the sequence in College English (English 111, 112, 113). THE ACADEMIC PROGRAM 33 Activity Credits A total of nine credits in co-curricular activities may be applied toward an Associate in Arts Degree. The three credits of required physical education are not included in this category, however one physical education credit toward the requirement will be given for varsity sports. (If the student plays on a varsity team two years, only one credit will be granted for the sport.) Co-curricular activities include the Golden Valley Lutheran College Choir, Golden Valley Singers, Madrigal Singers, Band, Golden Valley Orchestra, Theater Practice, Christian Service, additional physical education activity courses after required courses are completed, and activity credits that a transfer student might bring to Golden Valley Lutheran College. In each case the student must indicate during registration whether the activity is being taken for credit or non-credit. Credit by Special Examination Under special circumstances, a student may seek to gain credits or exemption by special examination, in accordance with specific departmental policies. Admission of Transfer Students College work done at other accredited institutions may be applied toward a degree or certificate at Golden Valley Lutheran College. Transfer students are required to follow regular admissions procedure and submit an official transcript of record from each college attended. Credit for the college work done, if satisfactory in grade and applicable toward the College's divisional degree requirements, will be accepted toward an Associate in Arts Degree. Golden Valley Lutheran College will not accept D's in transfer except by special petition approved by the Scholastic Standing Committee. The actual number of credits earned at other institutions are entered on the student's record, but transferred credits and grade points are not included in the computation of the grade point average. Withdrawals from the College If a student wishes to withdraw from the College during any term, application for this action must be made in the Office of the Registrar. An unauthorized withdrawal results in failure in all courses. Partial refunds on fees already paid will be based on the time the application was approved. (See page 22.) 34 GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE REGISTRATION New students must report to the College for Orientation Days as indicated in the calendar in this catalog. Both new and returning students are required to register on the days indicated in the calendar. Registration is not completed until the student has made settlement for the quarter charges at the Bookkeeping Office. Until such settlement has been made, the student is not eligible to attend any class or individual lesson. Changes in Registration Necessary changes to eliminate conflicts and to correct evident mistakes in registration may be permitted during the first ten days of classes, upon the written approval of the Academic Dean, the advisor, and the teachers concerned. A Change of Course Permit for this purpose may be obtained in the Registrar's Office. After the tenth day, no regularly scheduled classes may be added except upon petition and favorable action by the Academic Affairs Committee. Petition forms are available from the Registrar's Office. There is a $1.00 fee for each change in registration after the tenth day of classes. Withdrawals through the third week of classes are indicated by W; after that time and through Mid-term by W or WF (to be determined by the instructor); and after Mid-term and until the last regularly scheduled class day of each quarter by a W, WF, or F as determined by the instructor. A student may not drop a course after final examinations begin. THE ACADEMIC PROGRAM 35 GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS 37 Graduation Requirements Applicants for admission should study the requirements for graduation outlined in this section of the catalog and plan the college program as a whole as early as possible. A student who is in doubt about how certain requirements are interpreted should consult with an advisor, the Registrar or the Academic Dean. When circumstances might warrant a justifiable modification in a requirement, a petition (obtained from the Registrar) should be submitted to the Committee on Academic Affairs. The responsibility rests with the student for seeing that his or her program includes all requirements for graduation. The advisors, the Academic Dean, and the Registrar will gladly assist in every way possible.

Bon Voyage! Sincerely yours, William V. Frame President .I[. 1 E d u c a t i o n a l HISTORY OF WEEKEND COLLEGE In fall of 1982 Augsburg began Weekend College under the directorship of Dr. Richard Thoni. At that time Weekend College had three majors, 69 students, and offered eight courses in the first term. ; Today with more than 1,000 students and 14 majors, Augsburg's Weekend College is the largest program of its kind in the state. Faculty in Weekend College are full-time Augsburg professors as well as adjunct professionals from the work world. The Weekend College student body is involved in student government, and Weekend College students participate in academic and extracurricular activities such as the student newspaper, travel seminars, and the Weekend College Commission. Augsburg Weekend College continues to develop to meet the changing needs of the adult and nontraditional student of today. PURPOSE Augsburg Weekend College provides an educational alternative to adults who desire college experience but who work or have other commitments during the week. It is a means by which men and women may earn a baccalaureate degree, gain skills for professional advancement, prepare for career change, or pursue a personal interest in one or more areas of the liberal arts. MISSION OF THE COLLEGE Students who graduate from Augsburg are well prepared to make a difference in the world. They stand as testaments to the College motto, "Education for Service," and to the mission of the College: To nurture future leaders in service to the world by providing high quality educational opportunities, which are based in the liberal arts and shaped by the faith and values of the Christian Church, by the context of a vital metropolitan setting, and by an intentionally diverse campus community. THEADULTAS LEARNER A COMMUNITYOF LEARNERS Augsburg Weekend College is designed to meet the needs and preferences of adult learners. The program is based on the assumption that the men and women who enroll in Weekend College will be mature, self-disciplined, and well-motivated adult learners who seek a balance of classroom experience and individualized study. Each course is therefore divided into periods of concentrated on-campus study separated by time for independent study and class preparation. ALTERNATE WEEKENDS To accommodate this format for learning, classes generally meet on alternate weekends for three and one-half hours on either Friday evening, Saturday morning, Saturday afternoon, or Sunday afternoon. Each course selected by the student involves commitment to one of these four class periods. Laboratory sections or additional class hours may be scheduled during the week. Weekend College students may take from one to four courses each term. Selected courses are also available on weekday evenings. Essential to the goals of Augsburg's Weekend College is participation in a community of adult learners. Learning can be enhanced when the student is active in a stable community that provides opportunity and encouragement for involvement both in and out of the classroom. This community will be enriched by the presence of both men and women with a variety of work and life experiences. To facilitate this kind of community interaction, Augsburg encourages Weekend College students to make use of College facilities such as the Lindell Library and the Christensen Center, to take the opportunity of having shared meals and coffee breaks, to participate in optional lunchtime seminars, and to attend other College activities such as music and dramatic presentations and athletic events. FACULTV The heart of any educational institution is its faculty, and Augsburg College is particularly proud of the excellence and commitment of its professors. Most faculty hold the doctorate or other terminal degree and all consider their teaching to be the focus of their activity. Faculty are involved in social, professional, and a variety of research activities, but see these activities as supporting their teaching. They are actively involved in an exciting faculty development program that introduces them to current thought in many fields, but especially in teaching techniques and theories. Augsburg's size and small classes encourage its tradition of close involvement between professors and students. Faculty act as academic advisers and participate regularly in campus activities. History Augsburg College and Seminary was founded in 1869 in Marshall, Wisconsin, and moved to Minneapolis in 1872. In 1963 the name officially became Augsburg College when the Seminary left campus as part of the Lutheran Free Church merger with the American Lutheran Church. Location Augsburg's 23-acre campus is in the heart of the Twin Cities metropolitan area, only blocks from downtown Minneapolis and the intersection of Interstate Highways 94 and 35W. Adjacent to the campus are the FairviewUniversity Medical Center, the West Bank campus of the University of Minnesota, and the Mississippi River parkways. Campus Augsburg's campus consists of 16 major buildings, which include student housing towers, Christensen Center, main academic and administrative halls, Lindell Library, Music Hall, and the Foss Center for Worship, Drama, and Communication. Accessibility We have made a major effort to become one of the most accessible campuses in the region. Our skyway-tunnel system lets you reach any of 10 major buildings without going outside. In addition to building changes, we have a dedicated program to provide support for students with disabilities. Church Affiliation Augsburg is a college of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. Although a strong plurality of students are Lutheran, 20 percent represent other Protestant denominations and 21 percent represent the Roman Catholic Church. Several other affiliations are represented among students and faculty. POLICIES It is the policy of Augsburg College not to discriminate on the basis of race, color, creed, religion, sexual or affectional preference, national or ethnic origin, age, marital status, gender, or status with regard to public assistance or disability, as required by Title IX of the 1972 Educational Amendments or Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, in its admissions policies, education programs, activities and employment practices. Inquiries regarding compliance may be directed to the coordinators listed in the Augsburg College Catalog, or to the director of the Minnesota Department of Human Rights, Bremer Tower, Seventh Place at Minnesota Street, St. Paul, MN 55101. The College and its faculty subscribe to the Statement of Principles on Academic Freedom as promulgated by the American Association of University Professors and the Association of American Colleges.

The G.E.D. test certificate may be presented instead of the high school transcript. Additional Information If there is personal information that may have affected the applicant's previous academic performance, it may be included with the application or discussed personally with the admissions director. Academic recommendations may be required by the Admissions Committee before an admissions decision is made. On occasion, the Admissions Committee may also defer on a candidate's admission until other information has been received. For example, test scores, results of current coursework, additional letters of recommendation, or writing samples may be requested by the committee. If any additional credentials are needed, the Admissions Office will inform the candidate. Notification of Admissions Decision Augsburg College uses a "rolling" admissions plan. Students are notified of the admissions decision, usually within two weeks after the application file is complete and has been evaluated by the Admissions Committee. Admission to a major, as well as admission to the College, is sometimes necessary. Please check with the admissions coordinator and major sections in this catalog to see if admission to the major is necessary. ~raisferCredit Augsburg College welcomes students who wish to transfer after completing work at other accredited colleges or univer- sities. College credit is granted for liberal arts courses satisfactorily completed at accredited institutions. The College reserves the right not to grant credit for courses where it considers the work unsatisfactory, to grant provisional credit for work taken at unaccredited institutions, and to require that certain courses be taken at Augsburg. Augsburg College limits transfer of credit from twoyear colleges once a student has reached junior status. If all transfer work has been taken at a two-year college, a maximum of 17 Augsburg courses, or 96 quarter credits, will be accepted toward the minimum of 33 Augsburg course credits required for the baccalaureate degree. Transfer Credit Evaluation An evaluation of transfer credit is completed by the registrar upon admission for each degree-seeking student who is transferring previous college work. This evaluation indicates which of the student's courses have been accepted for transfer credit at Augsburg College and how many course credits the student has earned in transfer. The registrar also determines which transfer courses may be used to fulfill general education requirements and may request that the student provide course descriptions, syllabi or other information to assist in this determination. For an evaluation of transfer courses toward major, minor, or licensure requirements, the student should consult the appropriate department chair. ACADEMICADVISING The Academic Advising Center advises all incoming students, provides information about general education requirements, administers and tracks entry level skill assessments, and advises students placed on academic probation.

Refund Amount Refund Period 100% Through the first day of classes (less $100 administrative fee) 90% 50% 25% After the first day of classes through the 10% point in time of the term After the 10% point in time through the 25% point in time of the term After the 25% point in time through the 50% point in time of the term Students may appeal refund decisions through the Petition Committee. Medical Refund Policy If a student is forced to withdraw because of accident or illness, whether a physical or mental health problem, the refund may include the normal percentage plus one-half of the percentage adjustment. Requests for this additional refund must be made to the Petition Committee and must be accompanied by a written report from the attending health professional stating the inability for, or inadvisability of, continued study. Students charged on a singlecourse fee basis who have completed payment of assessed tuition may choose between this partial tuition refund and a tuition-free course retake credit. A retake credit may be used only to repeat the same course from which the student withdrew. This choice between refund and tuition-free retake credit must be made at the time of the request to the Petition Committee, and the choice of monetary refund or retake credit may not be changed subsequently. Students should be aware that their choice of refund or retake credit may adversely affect their financial aid eligibility and that they bear full responsibility for the effects of their choices. Retake credits must be used within one academic year or the next time the course is offered if that is longer than one year.

CENTERFOR SERVICE, WORK,AND LEARNING The Center for Service, Work, and Learning is a comprehensive center incorporating an educational focus emphasizing the importance and value for all students to engage in service and work-based learning experiences and design of a four-year career plan integrating their education with a vocation and life plan. The programs of the Center link employers, community organizations, and the academic program in a way that enriches and expands a student's educational experience and personal development. An underlying assumption is that a liberal arts education is an effective preparation for careers and citizenship. The integration of 'knowing and doing" adds breadth and depth to the liberal arts curriculum and assists students in making more informed academic, career, and personal decisions. The College's metropolitan location makes possible a wide range of opportunities. Students have gained valuable learning experiences in small and midrange companies, large corporations, nonprofit organizations, schools, government agencies, and community-based organizations. Cooperative Education Cooperative education is a college supported and monitored, paid, work-learning experience that is closely related to a student's major or career objective. The goal is to combine theory with practice in work or service-based settings. Students also earn money to help defray educational costs while gaining important on-thejob experience. Cooperative education jobs are flexible and can begin and end anytime. Cooperative education is not credited in and of itself, but a non-credit cooperative education transcript entry is available during the academic terms the student is employed. Cooperative education students are encouraged to complete at least one internship for credit in conjunction with their cooperative education participation. Cooperative education is available to Augsburg students who have completed their freshman year and are in good academic standing. Academic Internships An internship for academic credit is a carefully planned, work-based learning experience where a student focuses on specific academic and individual learning objectives. A learning agreement plan-negotiated with a faculty supervisor and work supervisor, outlining the internship objectives, strategies, and evaluation methods-is required. An academic internship is approved, supervised, and evaluated by a faculty member in the department in which the student wishes to earn the internship credit. Upper division internships are numbered 399 and lower division internships are numbered 199. Information on registering for internships may be obtained from the Center for Service, Work, and Learning. Internships are available in all majors and can be taken during a Weekend College trimester or summer session. For extension of an internship beyond one term see the section of the catalog under grading. Community Service-Learning Augsburg's Community Service-Learningprogram combines response to human needs in the community with a conscious awareness and understanding of issues, reflection, and educational growth. Augsburg students learn from and about the community and society in which they live by participating in orientation sessions, direct servicelearning activities, and seminars or class discussions. Through direct service, such as volunteering at a homeless shelter, tutoring, building housing for low income people, or working with environmental groups, students engage in a dynamic and interactive educational approach that employs reciprocal learning between the student(s) and the community. Service-learning includes course-imbedded community service, tutoring, internships, cooperative education, and a wide range of volunteer options. Career Services The Career Services Office is committed to assisting all students with their career planning.

Weekend College students may not cross over to attend ACTC (Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities) courses, except when required by the major to do so. Courses cross-listed in the Weekend College schedule and the day schedule are not subject to cross over policy. Contact the Office of the Registrar for more information on the crossover policy. WITHDRAWING FROM COURSES Students may drop (also referred to as canceling or withdrawing) a particular course by completing a CancelIAddChange of Registration form at the Office of the Registrar before the deadline (published in the Weekend College Catalog Supplement). Dropping a class will result in a W for withdrawal on an official academic record. Students are urged not to abandon courses for which they are registered because this may result in a failing grade on their official academic record. The refund schedule is listed on page 14. Note: A student may withdraw after the refund schedule has expired. WITHDRAWAL FROM COLLEGE Students who do not intend to continue at Augsburg must file a Withdrawal from College form at the Office of the Registrar. This is not necessary if the student is taking a term off; however, Weekend College students who do not attend courses for three consecutive trimesters (excluding summer) are considered inactive and must file an Application for Re-admission form with the Office of the Registrar in order to resume their academic program. Students are responsible for keeping the Office of the Registrar informed of their mailing address. SYLLABUS A syllabus is a course outline written by the instructor that may include a course description and objectives, required text@), course schedule, grading criteria, and assignments. A syllabus is especially important in Weekend College because it advises the student of any assignment due the first class weekend. Students are responsible for picking up the course syllabus at the times published in The Weekender, the Weekend College informational publication. EVALUATION AND C RADING Student achievement in courses is measured by final examinations, shorter tests, written papers, oral reports, and other types of evaluation. Most courses are offered with grading options-traditional grading on a 4.0 scale or the Pass/No Credit system, in which P means a grade of 2.0 or better and N means no credit and a grade of less than 2.0. Students who choose the P/N option are cautioned: In order to receive a grade of P a student must achieve at least a grade of 2.0. Some graduate and professional schools do not look favorably on a large number of P-graded courses, or rank each as a C. P-graded courses do not count toward the requirement that 14 traditionally graded course credits be earned at Augsburg in order to be considered for graduation with distinction. Transfer students should be especially aware of this requirement. See P/N limitations under Graduation Requirements on page 29. Note: Certain courses are offered on one grading system only (e.g., Lifetime Sports are graded P/N only). In courses where there is a choice, students will be graded on the traditional system unless they indicate on their registration that they wish to use the P/N grading option. Any changes in choice of grading system must be made according to dates published each term. A fee is charged for any changes made after the published deadline for dropping without record notation. I n f o r m a t i o n . NUMERIC GRADES Numeric grades are used with these definitions: 4.0 Achieves highest standards of excellence 3.0 Achieves above basic course standards 2.5 2.0 Meets basic standards for the course 1.0 Performance below basic course standards 0.5 0.0 Unacceptable performance (no credit for the course) Grades of P (Pass) or N (No credit) are not computed in the grade point average. An incomplete grade (I) may be given only in the case of extreme emergency. To receive an incomplete grade, a student must receive permission of the instructor and must file a form with the Registrar's Office stating the reasons for the request, the work required to complete the course, the plan and date for completing the work, and comments from the instructor. The necessary work must be completed in enough time to allow evaluation of the work by the instructor and filing of a grade before the final day of the following trimester. If the work is not completed by that date, the grade for the course becomes a 0.0. Internships, independent studies and directed studies may sometimes last longer than one term. When this is the case, they must be completed by the grading deadlines within one year from the beginning of the first term of registration. A grade of X is given by the instructor to indicate that the study is extended. It is expected that students given X extensions will continue to communicate with their instructors and demonstrate that satisfactory progress is being maintained. A final grade will be issued at the end of the term in which the work is completed and evaluated (but not longer than one year). An instructor has the option of not giving an X where satisfactory progress is not demonstrated. REPEATING COURSES A course in which a grade of 0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, or N has been received may be repeated for credit. Courses in which higher grades have been earned may not be repeated for credit and a grade but may be audited. All courses taken and grades earned each term remain on the academic record. Only the credits and grades earned the second time, for legitimately repeated courses, are counted toward graduation and in the grade point average. AUDITINGCOURSES Students who wish to take courses without credit or grade may do so by registering for Audit (V). The charge for auditing is listed in the current year's Weekend College Catalog Supplement. The signature of the instructor is required to register an audit. Students who audit a course should confer with the instructor two weeks prior to the beginning of the term to determine expectations, attendance, and any other requirements. If expectations have been met, the course will be listed on the transcript as having been audited. If expectations have not been met, the course will be listed with a grade of W (Withdrawn). Courses for which transfer credit has been awarded may not be repeated for credit at Augsburg. This includes courses that are substantially similar despite different titles or emphases. GRADEPOINTAVERAGE The grade point average (GPA) is based on final grades for all work at Augsburg. It does not include credit and grade points for work transferred from other colleges. Courses taken on the P/N grading option are recorded, but not computed in the GPA. The formula for computing the GPA is: GPA = Total grade points divided by number of course credits attempted.* * Using traditionally graded course credits only. CLASSIFICATION Student classifications are updated in August and at the end of the fall trimester. Sophomores-Seven credits completed. course Juniors - 16 course credits completed. Seniors-24 course credits completed. ACADEMIC PROGRESS, ~ROBAT~O AND N DISMISSAL The College requires that students maintain the following cumulative grade point averages (GPA): Freshman-A student who has taken fewer than seven credits with a cumulative GPA of 1.6 or higher Sophomore-A student who has taken fewer than 16 credits with a cumulative GPA of 1.7 or higher Junior-A student who has taken fewer than 24 credits with a cumulative GPA of 1.9 or higher Senior-A student who has taken 24 or more credits with a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher. It should be noted that a minimum GPA of 2.0 is required for graduation with certain majors requiring a higher minimum GPA. Students whose academic achievement falls below these guidelines will either be placed on scholastic probation at the end of the term, will be continued on probation, or will be dismissed from the College. In addition, a freshman who receives two zero grades or a sophomore who receives three zero grades will be considered for probation or dismissal. However, dismissal from the College is not automatic. Each case is reviewed by the Committee on Student Standing. Evidence of the student's commitment to academic progress is the major consideration in deciding whether or not to dismiss a student. Those on probation who voluntarily withdraw from the College, as well as those who are dismissed, must have special permission to re-enroll. Students may be removed from probation when the cumulative GPA reaches the minimum level stated above. Students placed on probation as freshmen for having earned two zero grades may be removed from probation if their classification changes to sophomore, if they have not earned additional zero grades, and if their cumulative GPA reaches 1.7. Students placed on probation as sophomores, juniors, and seniors for having earned three zero grades may be removed from probation if their classification changes to junior and their cumulative GPA reaches 1.9. The College reserves the right to dismiss any student who does not meet the guidelines stated above. Once a student is dismissed, he or she may appeal the decision within 10 days to the Committee on Student Standing. A c a d e m i c I DEAN'S LIST The Dean's List is compiled after each trimester, listing students whose grade point average for a trimester is 3.5 or better. Students must be full-time (a minimum two full course credits for a Weekend College student), graded on the traditional grading system, with no incompletes in courses offered for credit. If permission is given by the student, an announcement is sent to the hometown newspaper of each student on the Dean's List. ASSESSMENT OF PREVIOUS LEARNING (APL) PROGRAM Augsburg College recognizes that learning can and does take place in many life situations. Some of this learning may be appropriate for credit recognition within the disciplines that compose the academic program of a liberal arts college. The Assessment of Previous Learning (APL) program at Augsburg provides a means by which a student's previous learning, other than that which is transferred from another accredited institution, may be presented for examination for possible credit toward the completion of a baccalaureate degree. Not all learning from life experience, however, is appropriate for credit recognition at a liberal arts college. Such learning must meet two essential criteria: (1) it is relevant to course work in a field of study within the Augsburg liberal arts curriculum and (2) it can be objectively demonstrated either by comprehensive examination or committee evaluation. The APL program at Augsburg provides several means by which students may have their previous learning assessed for credit recognition. The following is a brief description of each of these means of assessment: The College Level Examination Program (CLEP) This is a series of standardized tests which have been developed by the College Board and are offered to students for a small fee at regional testing centers. (The regional testing center for this area is the University of Minnesota.) Students who score at or above the 65th percentile on a subject examination may . . receive academic credit for that subject at Augsburg College. Additional information about CLEP tests is available from the Office of the Registrar. Departmental Comprehensive Exams These are available for students to use in obtaining credit for previous learning if the following conditions are met: There is a departmental instrument available for the subject area in question. There is a faculty member designated by the department to administer the exam. The registrar approves the student's request to take the exam. Credit for departmental exams is available on a passlno credit basis only, and there is a charge per exam of one-half of tuition for a full course credit. The Portfolio Assessment Program This is a credit assessment alternative in which a faculty team completes a credit evaluation of a learning portfolio submitted by the student. The faculty team is composed of two faculty members from . fields of study directly related to the student's previous learning. Students who wish to prepare a portfolio of previous learning for credit assessment should consult the Office of the Registrar. In completing the evaluation of a student's previous learning, the faculty team applies the following criteria: There is documentable evidence of a cognitive component in the previous learning experience that involved prescribed and/or systematic study of content material found within liberal arts course work. The learning has been objectively verified by individuals in addition to the presenting student. The learning lends itself to both qualitative and quantitative measurement. The learning relates well to the student's educational goals. The learning and skills involved are current and could be used at the present time. Students may apply for the credit assessment process after completing at least four course credits of academic work at Augsburg College with a cumulative Augsburg GPA of at least 2.5. It is strongly recommended that the process not be used when four or fewer courses remain for graduation. There is an application deposit to initiate the credit assessment process and a charge for each semester credit applied to the student's transcript if credit is approved. Transcript credit will be granted on the basis of semester credits, and the total number of credits granted will be divided by four to determine the number of course credits applied to graduation. These credits will be recorded with the course number of APL 2xx. Application of this credit toward the Liberal Arts Perspective requirements, upper division requirements, and academic majors and minors may be subsequently addressed by the associate academic dean in response to a formal request by the student. Maximum Credit Accepted for Previous Learning While Augsburg College recognizes the validity of learning that takes place outside the traditional classroom, this learning must be I . . placed in the context of formal study in campus-based liberal arts courses. Therefore, Augsburg places a maximum of eight course credits (about one-fourth of a baccalaureate degree) on transcript credit that is obtained through previous experiential learning. In compiling the eight courses of credit for previous experiential learning, the student may use any combination of assessment processes available in the APL program: CLEP exams, departmental exams, and credit granted through portfolio assessment. Lifetime SportsAssessment of Previous Learning (APL) Program Students in the Weekend College may complete one of the two required graduation skills of Lifetime Sports through the APL process. The Lifetime Sports graduation skills are non-academic courses and no credit is earned by their completion; however, fulfillment of two Lifetime Sports is necessary to graduate. There is a fee for each Lifetime Sport completed by APL. Additional information about Lifetime Sports APL is available from the Weekend College Office. A c a d e m i c M a j o r s . I ACCOUNTING-ACC The major in accounting prepares students for professional careers in a wide variety of accounting-related positions. This major has two tracks: General Accounting and Professional Accounting. The General Accounting specialization is adequate for a wide variety of positions. The Professional Accounting track includes two specializations: public accounting and managerial accounting. The public accounting specialization is recommended for positions with CPA firms. The managerial accounting specialization is recommended for positions with large or rapidlygrowing companies. The two professional specializations relate to two professional designations: the CPA and the CMA. A CPA (Certified Public Accountant) focuses on external reporting; a CMA (Certified Management Accountant) focuses on internal reporting. The public accounting specialization includes the materials emphasized on the CPA exam; the managerial specialization includes the materials emphasized on the CMA exam. Designations have an experience requirement in addition to passing the national exam. Under the rules of the Minnesota State Board of Accountancy, accounting majors in the public accounting specialization are qualified to sit for the CPA examination during their last semester. Accounting Core: 14 courses are required for this major (an exception to the 13-course limitation): (It is recommended that students take the courses in the sequence given below.)

At Augsburg, art study is further enhanced by associations with a significant number of art galleries and museums in the Twin Cities area. Hundreds of specific careers exist in the general area of art, such as teaching in the public schools and colleges, ceramics, interior design, photography, film and video work, painting, gallery and museum work, and design.

COMMUNICATIONSPC Our quality of life, both personally and professionally, depends in large part upon the quality of our communication. A communication major at Augsburg is designed to enhance understanding of communication in a variety of contexts and to improve communication skills. Since careers in communication demand a broad educational background, the department strongly encour- ages a second major or two minors in fields such as business, economics, English, history, international relations, political science, psychology, religion, social work, sociology, or theatre arts. SPC 351 Argumentation The Augsburg communication major focuses on competency in both speech and writing as well as effective use of media. Since the study and practice of communication is grounded in both the humanities and the social sciences, majors are encouraged to include such related subjects as aesthetics, ethics; philosophy, logic, literature, statistics, and research methods in their programs. SPC 355 Small Group Communication All communication majors must complete a core group of seven required courses, supplemented by five electives in one of the following concentrations: public relations and advertising, marketing communication, human relations, or supervisory management. Prospective majors should meet with a departmental adviser as early as possible to design an approved major program, preferably by the end of the sophomore year. Majors in communication are candidates for the Bachelor of Arts degree. Communication Core Six courses including: SPC 111 Public Speaking SPC 352 Persuasion SPC 354 Interpersonal Communication and at least one course from the following: ENG 223 Writing for Business and the Professions ENG 225 Intermediate Expository Writing ENG 226 Introduction to Creative Writing ENG 227 Journalism In addition, six courses must be completed within one of the following concentrations: Public Relations and Advertising Students interested in the Public Relations emphasis are strongly urged to take ENG 227 (Journalism) as part of the major.

Specific requirements for the English-language arts licensure program are outlined under the English major in this catalog and are subject to change per the Department of Education. Those who study English believe that an intense concern for words, ideas, and images helps people understand who they are and who they can become. Writing helps us clarify and share our thoughts. Literature helps us contemplate the pains and joys of human existence. Through the study of English we see life's complexity, experience life as some others do, and understand better the world in which we live and work. English relates closely to other majors. With the other arts, English is concerned with the pleasure that comes from artistic creation and with the contemplation of works of art. With psychology and sociology, English is concerned with individual and group behavior. With philosophy, English is interested in ideas and the relation between meaning and language. With science, English is interested in discovering order and determining structures. With speech and communication, English studies the effective use of language. With history and the other social sciences and humanities, English studies the way people have acted and thought at different times and indifferent cultures. ENG 336 British Literature: 17th and 18th Centuries Students with an English major pursue careers in elementary, secondary, and college education, journalism, government, law, the ministry, library science, medicine, advertising, public relations, publishing, writing, and other professions and businesses.

Majors are encouraged to consult their departmental adviser regularly. A student with a double major or special program that involves considerable work in the English Department should also work closely with an adviser in the English Department. Note: Transfer students must take at least three of their English courses at Augsburg. English-Language Arts Teaching Major: 10 courses, including those listed under the major, and: ENG 345 Introduction to the English Language ENG 399 Internship in Teaching Writing EDS 364 English Methods and one course with a component in non-Western literature (for example, ENG 361 Studies in Modern Fiction).

Anderson HISTORY OF WEEKEND COLLEGE In fall of 1982 Augsburg began Weekend College under the directorship of Dr. Rick Thoni. At that time Weekend College had three majors, 69 students, and offered eight courses in the first term. Today with more than 1,000 students and 13 majors, Augsburg's Weekend College is the largest program of its kind in the state. Faculty in Weekend College are full-time Augsburg professors as well as adjunct professionals from the work world. The Weekend College student body is involved in student government, and Weekend College students participate in academic and extracurricular activities such as the student newspaper, travel seminars, and the Weekend College Commission. Augsburg Weekend College continues to develop to meet the changing needs of the adult and nontraditional student of today. PURPOSE Augsburg Weekend College provides an educational alternative to adults who desire college experience but who work or have other commitments during the week. It is a means by which men and women may earn a baccalaureate degree, gain skills for professional advancement, prepare for career change, or pursue a personal interest in one or more areas of the liberal arts. MISSION OF THE COLLEGE Students who graduate from Augsburg are well prepared to make a difference in the world. They stand as testaments to the College motto, "Education for Service," and to the Mission of the College: To nurture future leaders of sewice in the world by providing high quality educational opportunities which are based in the liberal arts and shaped by the faith and values of the Christian Church, by the context of a vital metropolitan setting, and by an intentionally diverse campus community. THEADULTAS LEARNER A COMMUNITYOF LEARNERS Augsburg Weekend College is designed to meet the needs and preferences of adult learners. The program is based on the assumption that the men and women who enroll in Weekend College will be mature, self-disciplined and well-motivated adult learners who seek a balance of classroom experience and individualized study. Each course is therefore divided into periods of concentrated on-campus study separated by time for independent study and class preparation. To accommodate this format for learning, classes generally meet on alternate weekends for three and one-half hours on either Friday evening, Saturday morning, Saturday afternoon or Sunday afternoon. Each course selected by the student involves commitment to one of these four class periods. Laboratory sections or additional class hours may be scheduled during the week. Weekend College students may take from one to four courses each term. Essential to the goals of Augsburg's Weekend College is participation in a community of adult learners. Learning can be enhanced when the student is active in a stable community that provides opportunity and encouragement for involvement both in and out of the classroom. This community will be enriched by the presence of both men and women with a variety of work and life experiences. To facilitate this kind of community interaction, Augsburg encourages Weekend College students to make use of college facilities such as the library and the Christensen Center, to take the opportunity of having shared meals and coffee breaks, to participate in optional lunch-time seminars, and to attend other college activities such as music and dramatic presentations and athletic events. FACULTY The heart of any educational institution is its faculty and Augsburg College is particularly proud of the excellence and commitment of its professors. Most faculty hold the doctorate or other terminal degree and all consider their teaching to be the focus of their activity. Faculty are involved in social, professional and a variety of research activities, but see these activities as supporting their teaching. They are actively involved in an exciting faculty development program which introduces them to current thought in many fields but especially in teaching techniques and theories. Augsburg's size and small classes encourage its tradition of close involvement between professors and students. Faculty act as academic advisers and participate regularly in campus activities. History Augsburg College and Seminary was founded in 1869 in Marshall, Wisconsin, and moved to Minneapolis in 1872. In 1963, the name officially became Augsburg College when the Seminary left campus as part of the Lutheran Free Church merger with the American Lutheran Church. Location Augsburg's 23-acre campus is in the heart of the Twin Cities metropolitan area, only blocks from downtown Minneapolis and the intersection of Interstate Highways 94 and 35W. Adjacent to the campus are the Riverside E d u c a t i o n a l P r o g r a m L 4 Medical Center, the West Bank campus of the University of Minnesota and the Mississippi River parkways. Campus Augsburg's campus consists of 15 major buildings which include student housing towers, the College Center, main academic and administrative halls, the Library, Music Hall and the Foss Center for Worship, Drama and Communication. Accessibility We have made a major effort to become one of the most accessible campuses in the region. Our skyway-tunnel system lets you reach any of 10 major buildings without going outside. In addition to building changes, we have a student-run program to increase awareness and provide extra help for students with disabilities. Church Affiliation Augsburg is a college of The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. Although a strong plurality of students are Lutheran, 20 percent represent other Protestant denominations and 21 percent represent the Roman Catholic Church. Several other affiliations are represented among students and faculty.

If all transfer work has been taken at a two-year college, a maximum of 17 Augsburg courses, or 96 quarter credits, will be accepted toward the minimum of 33 Augsburg course credits required for the baccalaureate degree. Transfer Credit Evaluations An evaluation of transfer credit is completed by the Registrar upon admission for each degree-seeking student who is transferring previous college work. This evaluation indicates which of the student's courses have been accepted for transfer credit at Augsburg College, and how many course credits the student has earned in transfer. The Registrar also determines which transfer courses may be used to fulfill general education requirements, and may request that the student provide course descriptions, syllabi or other information to assist in this determination. For an evaluation of transfer courses toward major, minor or licensure requirements, the student should consult the appropriate department chair. Augsburg graduates and students who have not attended Weekend College for more than one academic year (three trimesters) must apply for readmission through the Registrar's Office.

(or 2.5 if receiving a Minnesota State Student Grant). REGISTRATION Registration consists of two parts: Scheduling (choosing classes) - A student reserves a space in classes for each trimester by completing a schedule form. Scheduling can be done in advance of payment. Payment (confirmation 01 schedule) - A student who has scheduled courses must then confirm that schedule by paying. Dates and deadlines for scheduling and payment are listed in the Weekend College Catalog Supplement. SOME IMPORTANT POINTS ON REGISTRATION: A student must be registered for a course in order to receive course credit for it. A student in Weekend College is considered fulltime if he or she registers for two courses per trimester Students are responsible for obtaining registration materials from the Weekend College Office. A student who has not paid or made partial payment prior to the first day of classes is not registered for their course(s). The student may register and confirm the first class weekend, but late fees will apply and their space in the course(s) will not be held. CROSSOVERPOLICY It is expected that Weekend College students complete their degree requirements in the Weekend College schedule; however, students may take a course in the day schedule as a crossover. A Weekend College student wishing to attend a day schedule course, or a day student wishing to attend a course in Weekend College, must schedule at the Office of the Registrar. Students taking courses in both the day program and Weekend College program schedules which total three or more courses on any given date will be charged comprehensive day program tuition. A Weekend College student taking one day schedule course and who has fewer than three total courses will be charged the current part-time tuition for day school. Students will also follow these guidelines: Students may cross over for one full course credit per term. The course selected must have space available. Weekend College students may not cross over to attend ACTC (Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities) courses, except when required by the major to do so. Courses cross-listed in the Weekend College schedule and the day schedule are not subject to cross over policy. Contact the Office of the Registrar for more information on the crossover policy. WITHDRAWING FROM COURSES Students may drop (also referred to as canceling or withdrawing) a particular course by completing a Cancel/Add/Change of Registration form at the Office of the Registrar before the deadline (published in the Weekend College Catalog Supplement). Dropping a class will result in a " W for withdrawal on an official academic record. Students are urged not to abandon courses for which they are registered because this may result in a failing grade on their official academic record. The refund schedule is listed on page 14. Note: A student may withdraw after the refund schedule has expired. WITHDRAWAL FROM COLLEGE Students who do not intend to continue at Augsburg must file a Withdrawal from College form at the Office of the Registrar. This is not necessary if the student is taking a term off; however, Weekend College students who do not attend courses for three consecutive trimesters (excluding summer) are considered inactive and must file an Application for Re-admission form with the Office of the Registrar in order to resume their academic program. Students are responsible for keeping the Office of the Registrar informed of their mailing address. SYLLABUS A syllabus is a course outline written by the instructor which may include a course description and objectives, required text(s), course schedule, grading criteria and assignments. A syllabus is especially important in Weekend College because it advises the student of any assignment due the first class weekend. Students are responsible for picking up the course syllabus at the times published in The Weekender, the Weekend College informational publication. EVALUATIONAND GRADING Student achievement in courses is measured primarily by final examinations. Shorter tests, written papers, oral reports and other types of evaluation also are used. Most courses are offered with grading options - traditional grading on a 4.0 scale or the Pass/No Credit system, in which P means a grade of 2.0 or better and N means no credit and a grade of less than 2.0. Students who choose the P/N option are cautioned: In order to receive a grade of P, a student must achieve at least a grade of 2.0. Some graduate and professional schools do not look favorably on a large number of P-graded courses, or rank each as a "C". P-graded courses do not count toward the requirement that 14 traditionally graded course credits be earned at Augsburg in order to be considered for graduation with distinction. Transfer students should be especially aware of this requirement. See P/N limitations under Graduation Requirements on page 28. Note: Certain courses are offered on one grading system only (e.g., Lifetime Sports are graded P/N only). In courses where there is a choice, students will be graded on the traditional system unless they indicate on their registration that they wish to use the P/N grading option. Any changes in choice of grading system must be made according to dates published each term. A fee is charged for any changes made after the published deadline for dropping without record notation. I n f o r m a t i o n . NUMERIC GRADES Numeric grades are used with these definitions: 4.0 Achieves highest standards of excellence 3.0 Achieves above basic course standards 2.5 2.0 Meets basic standards for the course 1.0 Performance below basic course standards 0.5 0.0 Unacceptable performance (no credit for the course) Grades of P (Pass) or N (No credit) are not computed in the grade point average. An incomplete grade (I) may be given only in the case of extreme emergency. To receive an incomplete grade, a student must receive permission of the instructor, and must file a form with the Registrar's Office stating the reasons for the request, the work required to complete the course, the plan and date for completing the work, and comments from the instructor. The necessary work must be completed in enough time to allow evaluation of the work by the instructor and filing of a grade before the final day of the following trimester. If the work is not completed by that date, the grade for the course becomes a 0.0. Internships, Indepzndent Studies and Directed Studies may sometimes last longer than one term. When this is the case, they must be completed by the grading deadlines within one year from the beginning of the first term of registration. A grade of X is given by the instructor to indicate that the study is extended. It is expected that students given X extensions will continue to communicate with their instructors and demonstrate that satisfactory progress is being maintained. A final grade will be issued at the end of the term in which the work is completed and evaluated (but not longer than one year). An instructor has the option of not giving an X where satisfactory progress is not demonstrated. A course in which a grade of 0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, or N has been received may be repeated for credit. Courses in which higher grades have been earned may not be repeated for credit and a grade, but may be audited. All courses taken and grades earned each term remain on the academic record. Only the credits and grades earned the second time, for legitimately repeated courses, are counted toward graduation and in the grade point average. AUDITINGCOURSES Students who wish to take courses without credit or grade may do so by registering for Audit (V). The charge for auditing is listed in the current year's Weekend College Catalog Supplement. The signature of the instructor is required to register an audit. Students who audit a course should confer with the instructor two weeks prior to the beginning of the term to determine expectations, attendance and any other requirements. If expectations have been met, the course will be listed on the transcript as having been audited. If expectations have not been met, the course will be listed with a grade of W (Withdrawn). Courses for which transfer credit has been awarded may not be repeated for credit at Augsburg. This includes courses which are substantially similar despite different titles or emphases. GRADEPOINTAVERAGE The grade point average (GPA) is based on final grades for all work at Augsburg. It does not include credit and grade points for work transferred from other colleges. Courses taken on the P/N grading option are recorded, but not computed in the GPA. The formula for computing the GPA is: GPA = Total grade points divided by number of course credits attempted." * Using traditionally graded course credits only. CLASSIFICATION Student classifications are updated in August and at the end of the Fall Trimester. Sophomores - Seven course credits completed. Juniors - 16 course credits completed. Seniors -24 course credits completed. ACADEMIC PROGRESS, ~ROBAT~O AND N DISMISSAL The College requires that students maintain the following cumulative grade point averages (GPA): Freshman - A student who has taken fewer than seven credits with a cumulative GPA of 1.6 or higher Sophomore - A student who has taken fewer than 16 credits with a cumulative GPA of 1.7 or higher Junior - A student who has taken fewer than 24 credits with a cumulative GPA of 1.9 or higher Senior - A student who has taken 24 or more credits with a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher. It should be noted that a minimum GPA of 2.0 is required for graduation with certain majors requiring a higher minimum GPA. Students whose academic achievement falls below these guidelines will either be placed on scholastic probation at the end of the term, will be continued on probation, or will be dismissed from the College. In addition, a freshman who receives two zero grades or a sophomore who receives three zero grades will be considered for probation or dismissal. However, dismissal from the College is not automatic. Each case is reviewed by the Committee on Student Standing. Evidence of the student's commitment to academic progress is the major consideration in deciding whether or not to dismiss a student. Those on probation who voluntarily withdraw from 'the College, as well as those who are dismissed, must have special permission to re-enroll. Students may be removed from probation when the cumulative GPA reaches the minimum level stated above. Students placed on probation as freshmen for having earned two zero grades may be removed from probation if their classification changes to sophomore, if they have not earned additional zero grades, and if their cumulative GPA reaches 1.7. Students placed on probation as sophomores for having earned three zero grades may be removed from probation if their classification changes to junior and their cumulative GPA reaches 1.9. The College reserves the right to dismiss any student who does not meet the guidelines stated above. Once a student is dismissed, he or she may appeal the decision within 10 days to the Committee on Student Standing. DEAN'S LIST The Dean's List is compiled after each trimester, listing students whose grade point average for a trimester is 3.5 or better. Students must be full-time (a minimum two full course credits for a Weekend College student), graded on the traditional grading system, with no incompletes in courses offered for credit. If permission is given by the student, an announcement is sent to the hometown newspaper of each student on the Dean's List. ASSESSMENT OF PREVIOUS LEARNING (APL) PROGRAM Augsburg College recognizes that learning can and does take place in many life situations. Some of this learning may be appropriate for credit recognition within the disciplines that compose the academic program of a liberal arts college. The Assessment of Previous Learning (APL) program at Augsburg provides a means by which a student's previous learning, other than that which is transferred from another accredited institution, may be presented for examination for possible credit toward the completion of a baccalaureate degree. Not all learning from life experience, however, is appropriate for credit recognition at a liberal arts college. Such learning must meet two essential criteria: 1) it is relevant to course work in a field of study within the Augsburg liberal arts curriculum and 2) it can be objectively demonstrated either by comprehensive examination or committee evaluation. The APL program at Augsburg provides several means by which students may have their previous learning assessed for credit recognition. The following is a brief description of each of these means of assessment: The College Level Examination Program (CLEP) This is a series of standardized tests which have been developed by the College Board and are offered to students for a small fee at regional testing centers. (The regional testing center for this area is the University of Minnesota.) Students who score at or above the 65th percentile on a subject examination may receive academic credit for that subject at Augsburg College. Additional information about CLEP tests is available from the Office of the Registrar. Departmental Comprehensive Exams These are available for students to use in obtaining credit for previous learning if the following conditions are met: There is a departmental instrument available for the subject area in question. There is a faculty member designated by the department to administer the exam. The Registrar approves the student's request to take the exam. Credit for departmental exams is available on a passlno credit basis only, and there is a charge per exam of one-half of tuition for a full course credit. The Portfolio Assessment Program This is a credit assessment alternative in which a faculty team completes a credit evaluation of a learning portfolio submitted by the student. The faculty team is composed of two faculty members from fields of study directly related to the student's previous learning. Students who wish to prepare a portfolio of previous learning for credit assessment should consult the Off

Anderson President CHARACTERISTICS 0.F- T H E EDUCATIONAL or over a century, Augsburg College has emphasized intellectual freedom in the search for knowledge. Augsburg's academic program builds on a liberal arts foundation to help students understand the past, interpret the present, and plan for the future. F As in the weekday program, Augsburg Weekend College ofSers students a unique combination of the liberal arts disciplines and professional education. Our goals are to help students develop the intellectual skills and attitudes to be lifelong learners, increase their competence in selected areas of professional work, and accomplish a higher level of personal growth. HISTORY OF WEEKEND COLLEGE In Fall of 1982 Augsburg began Weekend College under the directorship of Dr. Rick Thoni. At that time Weekend College had three majors, 69 students, and offered eight courses in the first term. Today with more than 1,100 students and 12 majors, Augsburg's Weekend College is the largest program of its kind in the state. Faculty in Weekend College are full-time Augsburg professors as well as adjunct professionals from the work world. The Weekend College student body has become involved in student government, and Weekend College students participate in academic and extracurricular activities such as the student newspaper, travel seminars, the Weekend College Student Union and the Weekend College Advisory Network (WECAN). Augsburg Weekend College continues to grow and develop to meet the changing needs of the adult and nontraditional student of today. PURPOSE Augsburg Weekend College provides an educational alternative to adults who desire college experience but who work or have other commitments during the week. It is a means by which men and women may earn a baccalaureate degree, gain skills for professional advancement, prepare for career change, or pursue a personal interest in one or more areas of the liberal arts. MISSION OF THE COLLEGE Students who graduate from Augsburg are well prepared to make a difference in the world. They stand as testaments to the College motto, "Education for Service," and to the Mission of the College: To develop future leaders of service to the world by providing high quality educational opportunities which are based in the liberal arts and shaped by the faith and values of the Christian Church, by the context of a vital metropolitan setting, and by an intentionally diverse campus community. THEADULTAS LEARNER A COMMUNITYOF LEARNERS Augsburg Weekend College is designed to meet the needs and preferences of adult learners. The program is based on the assumption that the men and women who enroll in Weekend College will be mature, self-disciplined and well-motivated adult learners who seek a balance of classroom experience and individualized study. Each course is therefore divided into periods of concentrated on-campus study separated by time for independent study and class preparation. Essential to the goals of Augsburg's Weekend College is participation in a community of adult learners. Learning can be enhanced when the student is involved in a stable community that provides opportunity and encouragement to become involved in interaction both in and out of the classroom. This community will be enriched by the presence of both men and women with a variety of work and life experiences. To facilitate this kind of community interaction, Augsburg encourages Weekend College students to make use of college facilities ALTERNATE WEEKENDS such as the library and the To accommodate this format Christensen Center, to take the for learning, classes generally opportunity of having shared meet on alternate weekends meals and coffee breaks, to for three and one half hours on participate in optional luncheither Friday evening, time seminars, and to attend Saturday morning, Saturday other college activities such as afternoon or Sunday aftermusic and dramatic presentanoon.

Most faculty hold the doctorate or other terminal degree and all consider their teaching to be the focus of their activity. Faculty are involved in social, professional and a variety of research activities, but see these activities as supporting their teaching. They are actively involved in an exciting faculty development program which introduces them to current thought in many fields but especially in teaching techniques and theories. Augsburg's size and small classes encourage its tradition of close involvement between professors and students. Faculty act as academic advisers and participate regularly in campus activities. History Augsburg College was founded in 1869 in Marshall, Wisconsin, and moved to Minneapolis in 1872. The name Augsburg College and Seminary changed in 1963 when the Lutheran Free Church merged with The American Lutheran Church. Location Augsburg's 23-acre campus is in the heart of the Twin Cities metropolitan area, only blocks from downtown Minneapolis and the intersection of Interstate Highways 94 and 35W. Adjacent to the campus are the Riverside Medical Center, the West Bank campus of the University of Minnesota and the Mississippi River parkways. Campus Augsburg's campus consists of 15 major buildings which include student housing towers, the College Center, main academic and administrative halls, the Library, Music Hall and the Foss Center for Worship, Drama and Communication. Accessibility We have made a major effort to become one of the most accessible campuses in the region. Our skyway-tunnel system lets you reach any of 10 major buildings without going outside. In addition to building changes, we have a student-run program to increase awareness and provide extra help for students with disabilities. Church Affiliation Augsburg is a college of The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. Although a strong plurality of students are Lutheran, 18 percent represent other Protestant denominations and 2 1 percent represent the Roman Catholic Church. Several other affiliations are represented among students and faculty. POLICIES It is the policy of Augsburg College not to discriminate on the basis of race, color, creed, religion, sexual or affectional preference, national or ethnic origin, age, marital status, sex or status with regard to public assistance or disability, as required by Title IX of the 1972 Educational Amendments or Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, in its admissions policies, education programs, activities and employment practices. Inquiries regarding compliance may be directed to the coordinators listed on pages 249 of the 1994-1996 Augsburg catalog, or to the Director of the Minnesota Department of Human Rights, Bremer Tower, Seventh Place at Minnesota Street, St. Paul, MN 55101. The College and its faculty subscribe to the Statement of Principles on Academic Freedom as promulgated by the American Association of University Professors and the Association of American Colleges. ACCREDITATION AND MEMBERSHIPS Augsburg College is accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools and the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education (Secondary and Elementary). Our programs are approved by the American Chemical Society, the Council on Social Work Education, National Association for Music Therapy, Inc., and the National League for Nursing. Augsburg College is an institutional member of the National Association of Schools of Music (NASM). We are a member of the Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities (ACTC), Lutheran Education Council in North America and Minnesota Private College Council. Augsburg College is registered with the Minnesota Higher Education Coordinating Board. Registration is not an endorsement of the institution. Registration does not mean that credits earned at the institution can be transferred to other institutions or that the quality of the educational programs would meet the standards of every student, educational institution or employer. Y ou may apply for admission to the Weekend College Program if you have graduated from high school or have earned a General Education Developmental (G.E.D.) test certificate. Selection of students for Augsburg College is based on demonstrated academic ability with satisfactory performance in high school or in previous college work. A cumulative grade point average of 2.0 (on a 4.0 scale) or better is required for previous college work. Applicants with less than one year of transferable college work or no college work must be in the upper half of their high school graduating class. Application for Admission Complete the application form and return it along with the $20.00 nonrefundable application fee to the Augsburg Weekend College Office. Transcripts Have official transcripts from all previously attended postsecondary institutions sent directly to the Augsburg Weekend College Office. Applicants with less than one year of previous transferable college work should also have their official high school transcript sent. The G.E.D. test certificate may be presented instead of the high school transcript. Additional Information If there is personal information that may have affected the applicant's previous academic performance, it may be included with the application or discussed personally with the Admissions Coordinator. Academic recommendations may be required by the Admissions Committee before an admissions decision is made. On occasion, the Admissions Committee may also defer on a candidate's admission until other information has been received. For example, test scores, results of current course work, additional letters of recommendation or writing samples may be requested by the Committee. If any additional credentials are needed, the Admissions Office will inform the candidate. Notification of Admissions Decision Augsburg College uses a "rolling" admissions plan. Students are notified of the admissions decision, usually within two weeks after the application file is complete and has been evaluated by the Admissions Committee. Admission to a major, as well as admission to the College, is sometimes necessary. Please check with the Admissions Coordinator and major sections in this catalog to see if admission to the major is necessary. Transfer Credit Transfer Credit Evaluations FORMERSTUDENTS Augsburg College welcomes students who wish to transfer after completing work at other accredited colleges or universities. College credit is granted for liberal arts courses satisfactorily completed at accredited institutions. The College reserves the right not to grant credit for courses where it considers the work unsatisfactory, to grant provisional credit for work taken at unaccredited institutions and to require that certain courses be taken at Augsburg. Following acceptance, students who are seeking a degree and transferring previous college work to Weekend College will be sent an official credit evaluation showing the number of courses and degree requirements still needed to complete a baccalaureate degree at Augsburg. Augsburg graduates and students who have not attended Weekend College for more than one academic year (three trimesters) must apply for readmission through the Registrar's Office.

WITHDRAWING FROM COURSES Students may drop (also referred to as canceling or withdrawing) a particular course by completing a CancelIAddlChange of Registration form at the Office of the Registrar before the deadline (published in the Weekend College Catalog Supplement). Dropping a class will result in a "W" for withdrawal on an official academic record. Students are urged not to abandon courses for which they are registered because this may result in a failing grade on their official academic record. The refund schedule is listed on page 14. Note: A student may withdraw after the refund schedule has expired. WITHDRAWAL FROM COLLEGE Students who do not intend to continue at Augsburg must file a Withdrawal from College form at the Office of the Registrar. This is not necessary if the student is taking a term off; however, Weekend College students who do not attend courses for three consecutive trimesters (excluding summer) are considered inactive and must file an Application for Re-admission form with the Office of the Registrar in order to resume their academic program. Students are responsible for keeping the Office of the Registrar informed of their mailing address. SYLLABUS A syllabus is a course outline written by the instructor which may include a course description and objectives, required text@), course schedule, grading criteria and assignments. A syllabus is especially important in Weekend College because it advises the student of any assignment due the first class weekend. Students are responsible for picking up the course syllabus at the times published in The Weekender, the Weekend College informational publication. EVALUATIONAND C RADI NG Student achievement in courses is measured primarily by final examinations. Shorter tests, written papers, oral reports and other types of evaluation also are used. Most courses are offered with grading options - traditional grading on a 4.0 to 0.0 scale or the Pass/No Credit system, in which P means a grade of 2.0 or better and N means no credit and a grade of less than 2.0. Students who choose the PIN option are cautioned: In order to receive a grade of P, a student must achieve at least a grade of 2.0. Some graduate and professional schools do not look favorably on a large number of P-graded courses, or rank each as a "C". P-graded courses do not count toward the requirement that 14 traditionally graded course credits be earned at Augsburg in order to be considered for graduation with distinction. Transfer students should be especially aware of this requirement. See PIN limitations under Graduation Requirements on page 28. Note: Certain courses are offered on one grading system only (e.g., Lifetime Sports are graded PIN only). In courses where there is a choice, students will be graded on the traditional system unless they indicate on their registration that they wish to use the PIN grading option. Any changes in choice of grading system must be made according to dates published each term. A fee is charged for any changes made after the first five days of classes. NUMBER GRADES Number grades are used with these definitions: 4.0 Achieves highest standards of excellence 3.0 Achieves above basic course standards 2.0 Meets basic standards for the course 1.0 Performance below basic course standards 0.0 Unacceptable performance (no credit for the course) Grades of P (Pass) or N (No credit) are not computed in the grade point average. An incomplete grade (I) may be given only in the case of extreme emergency. To receive an incomplete grade, a student must receive permission of the instructor; must file a form stating the reasons for the request, the work required to complete the course, the plan and date for completing the work, and comments from the instructor; and must gain the approval of the Registrar. If permission is granted, the necessary work must be completed in enough time to allow evaluation of the work by the instructor and filing of a grade before the final day of the following trimester. If the work is not completed by that date, the grade for the course becomes a 0.0. Internships, Independent Studies and Directed Studies may sometimes last longer than one term. When this is the case, they must be completed by the grading deadlines within one year from the beginning of the first term of registration. A grade of X is given by the instructor to indicate that the study is extended. It is expected that students given X extensions will continue to communicate with their instructors and demonstrate that satisfactory progress is being maintained. A final grade will be issued at the end of the term in which the work is completed and evaluated (but not longer than one year). An instructor has the option of not giving an X where satisfactory progress is not demonstrated. A course in which a grade of 0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, or N has been received may be repeated for credit. Courses in which higher grades have been earned may not be repeated for credit and a grade, but may be audited. All courses taken and grades earned each term remain on the academic record. Only the credits and grades earned the second time, for legitimately repeated courses, are counted toward graduation and in the grade point average. AUDITINGCOURSES Students who wish to take courses without credit or grade may do so by registering for Audit (V). The charge for auditing is listed in the current year's Weekend College Catalog Supplement. The signature of the instructor is required to register an audit. Students who audit a course should confer with the instructor two weeks prior to the beginning of the term to determine expectations, attendance and any other requirements. If expectations have been met, the course will be listed on the transcript as having been audited. If expectations have not been met, the course will be listed with a grade of W (Withdrawn). GRADEPOINTAVERAGE ACADEMIC PROGRESS, PROBATION AND The grade point average (GPA) is based on final grades DISMISSAL for all work at Augsburg. It does not include credit and grade points for work transferred from other colleges. Courses taken on the PIN grading option are recorded, but not computed in the GPA. The formula for computing the GPA is: - GPA Total grade points divided by number of credits taken.* * Using traditionally graded course credits only. CLASSIFICATION Students are classified in August and at the end of the Fall Trimester. Sophomores - Seven credits completed. Juniors - 16 credits completed. Seniors - 24 credits completed. The College requires that students maintain the following cumulative grade point averages (GPA): Freshman - A student who has taken fewer than seven credits with a cumulative GPA of 1.6 or higher Sophomore - A student who has taken fewer than 16 credits with a cumulative GPA of 1.7 or higher Junior - A student who has taken fewer than 24 credits with a cumulative GPA of 1.9 or higher Senior - A student who has taken 24 or more credits with a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher. It should be noted that a minimum GPA of 2.0 is required for graduation with certain majors requiring a higher minimum GPA. Students whose academic achievement falls below these guidelines will either be placed on scholastic probation at the end of the term, will be continued on probation or, will be dismissed from the College. In addition, a freshman who receives two zero grades or a sophomore who receives three zero grades will be considered for probation or dismissal. However, dismissal from the College is not automatic. Each case is reviewed by the Committee on Student Standing. Evidence of the student's commitment to academic progress is the major consideration in deciding whether or not to dismiss a student. Those on probation who voluntarily withdraw from the College, as well as those who are dismissed, must have special permission to re-enroll. Students may be removed from probation when the cumulative GPA reaches the minimum level stated above. Students placed on probation as freshmen for having earned two zero grades may be removed from probation if their classification changes to sophomore, if they have not earned additional zero grades, and if their cumulative GPA reaches 1.7. Students placed on probation as sophomores for having earned three zero grades may be removed from probation if their classification changes to junior and their cumulative GPA reaches 1.9. The College reserves the right to dismiss any student who does not meet the guidelines stated above. Once a student is dismissed, he or she may appeal the decision within 10 days to the Committee on Student Standing. DEAN'S LIST The Dean's List is compiled after each trimester, listing students whose grade point average for a trimester is 3.5 or better. Students must be full-time (a minimum two full course credits for a Weekend College student), graded on the traditional grading system, with no incompletes in courses offered for credit. If permission is given by the student, an announcement is sent to the hometown newspaper of each student on the Dean's List. GRADUATION WITH DISTINCTION Graduation with Distinction is determined as follows: Summa cum laude - 3.8 to 4.0 cumulative GPA Magna cum laude - 3.6 up to but not including 3.8 cumulative GPA Cum laude - 3.3 up to but not including 3.6 cumulative GPA To qualify for graduation with distinction, transfer students must have completed two years (14 traditionally graded credits) of work at Augsburg. ASSESSMENT OF PREVIOUS LEARNING (APL) PROGRAM Augsburg College recognizes that learning can and does take place in many life situations. Some of this learning may be appropriate for credit recognition within the disciplines that compose the academic program of a liberal arts college. The Assessment of Previous Learning (APL) program at Augsburg provides a means by which a student's previous learning, other than that which is transferred from another accredited institution, may be presented for examination for possible credit toward the completion of a baccalaureate degree. Not all learning from life experience, however, is appropriate for credit recognition at a liberal arts college. Such learning must meet two essential criteria: 1) it is relevant to course work in a field of study within the Augsburg liberal arts curriculum and 2) it can be objectively demonstrated either by comprehensive examination or committee evaluation. The APL program at Augsburg provides several means by which students may have their previous learning assessed for credit recognition. The following is a brief description of each of these means of assessment: The College Level Examination Program (CLEP) This is a series of standardized tests which have been developed by the College Board and are offered to students for a small fee at regional testing centers. (The regional testing center for this area is the University of Minnesota.) Students who score at or above the 65th percentile on a subject examination may receive academic credit for that subject at Augsburg College. Additional information about CLEP tests is available from the Office of the Registrar. Departmental Comprehensive Exams These are available for students to use in obtaining credit for previous learning if the following conditions are met: There is a departmental instrument available for the subject area in question. There is a faculty member designated by the department to administer the exam. The Registrar approves the student's request to take the exam. Credit for departmental exams is available on a passlno credit basis only, and there is a charge per exam of $485.00 for a full course credit. The Credit Assessment Program (CAP) This is a credit assessment alternative in which a faculty committee completes a credit evaluation of a learning portfolio submitted by the student. The faculty committee is composed of a representative from the Office of the Registrar and two faculty members from fields of study directly related to the student's previous learning. Informational meetings and consultation are provided for students who wish to prepare a portfolio of previous learning for credit assessment. This may include a personal meeting with the CAP committee. In completing the evaluation of a student's previous learning, the CAP committee applies the following criteria: There is documentable evidence of a cognitive component in the previous learning experience that involved prescribed andlor systematic study of content material found within liberal arts course work. The learning has been objectively verified by individuals in addition to the presenting student. The learning lends itself to both qualitative and quantitative measurement. The learning relates well to the student's educational goals. The learning and skills involved are current and could be used at the present time. Students may apply for the credit assessment process after completing at least four courses of academic work at Augsburg College with a cumulative Augsburg GPA of at least 2.5. It is strongly recommended that the process not be used when four or fewer courses remain for graduation. There is an application deposit to initiate the credit assessment process, and a charge for each semester credit applied to the student's transcript if credit is approved. Transcript credit will be granted on the basis of semester credits, and the total number of credits granted will be divided by four to determine the number of course credits applied to graduation. These credits will be recorded with the course number of CAP 2xx. Application of this credit toward the Liberal Arts Perspective requirements, Upper Division requirements, and academic majors and minors may be subsequently addressed by the departments involved in response to a formal request by the student. Maximum Credit Accepted for Previous Learning While Augsburg College recognizes the validity of learning that takes place outside the traditional classroom, this learning must be placed in the context of formal study in campus-based liberal arts courses. Therefore, Augsburg places a maximum of eight courses (one-fourth of a baccalaureate degree) on transcript credit that is obtained through previous experiential learning. In compiling the eight courses of credit for previous experiential learning, the student may use any combination of the three assessment processes available in the APL program: CLEP exams, departmental exams and credit granted through CAP Committee assessment. Lifetime Sports Assessment of Previous Learning (APL) Program Students in the Weekend College may complete one or both of the two required graduation skills of Lifetime Sports through the APL process. The Lifetime Sports graduation skills are non-academic courses and no credit is earned by their completion; however, fulfillment of two Lifetime Sports is necessary to graduate. There is a fee for each Lifetime Sport completed by APL. Additional information about Lifetime Sport APL is available from the Weekend College Office.

A minor is available in several of these academic areas as well as in Sociology, American Indian Studies and Women's Studies (see page 55 for details). ACCOUNTING - ACC The major in accounting prepares students for professional careers in a wide variety of accounting-related positions. This major has two tracks: General Accounting and Professional Accounting. The General Accounting specialization is adequate for a wide variety of positions. The Professional Accounting track includes two specializations: public accounting and managerial accounting. The public accounting spccialization is recommended for positions with CPA firms. The managerial accounting specialization is recornmended for positions with large or rapidlygrowing companies. Thc two professional specializations rclate to two professional dcsignations: the CPA and the CMA. A CPA (Ccrtificd Public Accountant) focuses on cxtcrnal reporting; a CMA (Ccrtificd Management Accountant) focuscs on internal reporting. The public accounting specialization includes the materials emphasized on the CPA exam; the managerial specialization includes the materials emphasized on the CMA exam. Designations have an experi- ence requirement in addition to passing the national exam. Under the rules of the Minnesota State Board of Accountancy, Accounting majors in the public accounting specialization are qualified to sit for the CPA examination during their last semester.

COMMUNICATION SPC Our quality of life, both personally and professionally, depends in large part upon the quality of our communication. A Communication major at Augsburg is designed to enhance understanding of communication in a variety of contexts and to improve communication skills. Since careers in communication demand a broad educational background, the Department strongly encourages a second major or two minors in fields such as business, economics, English, history, international relations, political science, psychology, religion, social work or sociology. The Augsburg Communication major focuses on competency in both speech and writing, as well as effective use of media. Since the study and practice of communication is grounded in both the humanities and the social sciences, majors are encouraged to include such related subjects as aesthetics, ethics, philosophy, logic, literature, statistics and research methods in their programs. All Communication majors must complete a core group of seven required courses, supplemented by five electives in one of the following concentrations: public relations and advertising, marketing communication, human relations, or supervisory management. Prospective majors should meet with a departmental adviser as early as possible to design an approved major program, preferably by the end of the sophomore year. Majors in Communication are candidates for the Bachelor of Arts degree. Communication Core Seven courses including: SPC 111 Public Speaking SPC 351 Argumentation SPC 352 Persuasion SPC 354 Interpersonal Communication SPC 355 Small Group Communication POL 342 Mass Communication in Society and one of the following: ENG 223 Writing for Business and the Professions ENG 225 Intermediate Expository Writing ENG 226 Introduction to Creative Writing ENG 227 Journalism In addition, 5 courses must be completed within one of the following concentrations: Public Relations and Advertising Students interested in the Public Relations emphasis are strongly urged to take ENG 227 (Journalism) as part of the major.

Introduction to Augsburg Weekend College Purpose Augsb~~rg Weekend College provides an educational alternative to adults who desire college experience but who worlc or have other commitments during the week. It is a means by which Inen and women may earn a bachelor's degree, gain slulls for professio~laladvancement, prepare for career change, or pursue a persolla1 interest in one or more areas of the liberal arts. The Adult as a Student The Augsburg Weelce~ldCollege program is designed to meet the needs and preferences of adult learners. The program is based on the assumpill be tion that the Inen and women who enroll in Weekend College w mature, self-dsciplined and well-motivated adult learners who seek a balance of classroom experience and i~ldividualizedstudy. Each course is therefore divided into periods of co~lce~ltrated on-campus study separated by time for independent study and class preparation. Alternate Weekends T o accommodate this format for learning, classes meet on alternate weelce~ldsfor three and a half hours on either Friday evening, Saturday morning, Saturday afternoon, or Sunday afternoon.* Each class selected by the student involves commitme~ltto one of these four class periods. Weeltend College students may talce from one to four different courses by attendng class every other weekend. Community of Learners Essential to the goals of A ~ ~ g s b uWeelce~ld rg College is participation in a com~nu~lity of adult learners. Learning can be enhanced when the student is involved in a stable community that provides opportu~ityand e~lcourageme~lt to become i~lvolvedin i~lteractio~l both in and out of the classroom. This community d l be enriched by the presence of both men and women with a variety ofwork and life experiences. T o facilitate this kind of commiulity interaction, Ailgsburg encourages Weelrend College students to make use of college facilities such as the library and Christensen Center, to talce the opportunity of having shared meals and coffee brealcs, to participate in optional lu~lchtime seminars, and to attend other college activities such as music and dramatic presentations and athletic events. *Laboratovy sections or additional class hours may be scheduled duY-in~the week.
