Full credit will be granted for all work ap- plicable to a B.A. degree at Augsburg, except where the work duplicates work previously taken. 4. Correspondence courses taken through the Armed Forces In- stitute. These courses fall into two classes: those prepared and given by the Institute, and those prepared and given by col- leges and universities. In the case of Institute courses, credit is given upon receipt of the forms mentioned in I or 2 above and based upon test results. University and college correspondence courses will be accredited by oficial transcript like other college work. 5. Other credit. General education not indicated by any of the above methods can be demonstrated by means of the General Educational Development Tests. Veterans seeking advanced standing on the basis of informal study and travel may take these tests either through the Armed Forces Institute while still in service or at Augsburg after their discharge. No credit on this basis can be granted on the senior college level nor counted in the total credits required for the major and minor fields. FRESHMAN GUIDANCE During the first days of school special opportunities will be af- forded the freshmen to become acquainted with college aims and ideals. The incoming student will be helped to find himself through guidance as to what the college expects of him socially, morally, intellectually, and spiritually. Church allegiance, choice of studies, college standards of scholarship, social requirements, and other necessary matters will be considered. Tests are given the freshmen and other new students to afford a basis for counsel and guidance in planning their college program. For the purpose of proper classification all freshmen must take the entrance tests on the days designated in the Calendar. Orientation lectures are given during the first semester of the Freshman year. All freshmen are assigned to counselors, who assist in their regis- tration and help them in meeting other problems of college life. Show less

Students who cannot be accommodated in permanent dormi- tories may find rooms in temporary housing units. Rooms in ap- proved private homes are also available. For married students, the college has two temporary housing buildings, each accommodating four families. FOOD SERVICE The ground floor of the Sverdrup-Oftedal Memorial Hall houses a cafeteria and dining-hall, a social room, and a private dining-room. All students, campus and off campus, share in the privilege of using these service units. The dining-hall will furnish food at cost to student groups, for special parties or picnics. HEALTH SERVICE The program of health service is in charge of the Director of Physical Education and Recreation, who is assisted by the School Physician and the School Nurse. It includes regular physical 'ex- aminations, corrective measures where needed, and school-wide pro- gram of recreation and physical training. Infirmary Rooms are provided for the use of those who are ill. The oflice is in Room I I I, Memorial Hall. Students, faculty, and staff have chest X-rays taken semi—an— nually through the cooperation of the Hennepin County Tuber- culosis Association Mobile Unit. The service is free. EMPLOYMENT SERVICE A large number of college students find it necessary to secure part-time employment while carrying on their studies. The Em- ployment Service, operated by the Office of Public Relations, has been successful in placing hundreds of men and women students in part-time positions. Many Minneapolis institutions and firms have gladly cooperated in this enterprise. The types of work se- cured are of many kinds, including recreational leadership, restau— rant work, domestic service, sales work, and secretarial and clerical work. Show less

These programs aim to acquaint the campus community with outstanding personalities and problems in various fields. A wide range of interests is covered, including the scientific, political, social, religious, and artistic. STUDENT PERSONNEL SERVICES ADMINISTRATION The coordination of the many personnel services is the respon- sibility of a twelve-member Faculty Council headed by the Dean of the College. Individual members of the Council or sub—com- mittees direct the various activities, which include academic and personal counseling, housing and food service, recreation and health, employment and placement, and student activities. The Luther League, the Mission Society, the Lutheran Student Association, the National Student Association Council, and a large number of departmental and special interest clubs are direct- ly supervised by the Student Council. A Student-Faculty com- mittee of six members serves as a liaison between the Faculty and student council. ACADEMIC COUNSELING The counseling program for new students begins as soon as the Admissions Committee has approved their applications. All available data concerning each prospective student are combined with test results obtained during Freshman Week for use during registration. Each new student is assigned a faculty counselor, generally on the basis of mutual academic interest. This assignment continues for the first two years. At a scheduled period during Freshmen Week, the student meets with his counselor for registration. At least three additional counseling periods are scheduled for each semester. The student is encouraged to see his counselor whenever he feels the need in order to discover and develop as fully as pos- sible his latent abilities. Upper-class students are counseled by their major advisers. Adjustment to college is one of several subjects introduced dur- ing Freshmen Week. The various phases of this important prob- Show less

The Adolph Paulson Memorial Prize, given by members of the Paulson family in memory of Professor Adolph Paulson who taught Social Science at Augsburg from 1930 to 1935, is awarded annually to a college student for the best essay written on an as- signed subject in the general field of Christian Sociology. At the present time the amount of the prize is $35.00. The Celia Fredrichson Scholarship consists in the income from a fund of one thousand dollars. It is awarded annually to an Augs- burg student from the Lamberton, Minnesota, parish of the Lu- theran Free Church. The Augsburg College Women’s Club Scholarship awards, total— ing $400, are granted each year to two or more students of out- standing character and excellent scholarship.

The major subject is determined by the student’s aims as well as by his particular interests and aptitudes as shown in the quality of work he does in the Junior College, where basic courses prerequisite to the major are offered in sequences which lay the foundation for the major work. When a student enters the Junior year he shall have determined in what field of study he will specialize, so that the work in the majors and minors may be well planned. Students who are still undecided as to their major choice when they appear for registration in the Junior year, should, before they register, consult with members of the Admissions Committee and the heads of the various departments in order to determine their field of major work. For major and minor requirements as to hours of credit see departmental statements. ELECTIVES Electives are planned with the purpose of properly distributing a student’s choices among the fundamental fields of knowledge and culture, as well as among the correlatives of the major. Senior College students should, as a rule, choose their electives from courses designated as Senior College Courses. GRADUATION AND DEGREE The amount of work required for graduation comprises a minimum of 128 credits with an average grade of C, or one honor point for each credit. A credit equals one recitation period a week throughout one semester. Honor points are computed at the rate of one honor point for each credit with a‘ grade of C, two honor points for each credit with a grade of B, and three honor points for each credit with a grade of A. An average of 128 honor points must be attained for the 128 credits required for the B.A. degree.
