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. 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 Colden 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, 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. GENERAL INFORMATION 11 Accreditation and Transfer of Credit Golden Valley Lutheran College received regional accreditation through the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools in 1978.

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. New Student Pre-Registration Prior to the start of the fal I quarter, new students are invited to the campus to participate in pre-registration 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. 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-time 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. 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. There are over 32,000 volumes, 245 periodicals, local and national newspapers, and a substantial vertical file in the collection. Through the Minnesota Interlibrary Telecommunications Exchange (MINITEX) the student has access to a vast network of more than ten million volumes in a five state area. In addition, there is a sizeable audiovisual collection including phonograph records and cassettes, as well as filmstrips with necessary listening and viewing equipment available to the students. Insurance The College does not assume any responsibility for the loss of or damage to personal 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. 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 cateteria 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. Guidance regarding student life on campus is provided by the Student Life Handbook. 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. Many students also participate in Christian Service activities in the community and in world mission activities. The College has a fellowship of Christian Athletes chapter in which many students take an active part. There also is an opportunity to serve on outreach teams which travel to present the Gospel in word and song. Chapel All classes are dismissed each morning for a 25-minute chapel program. These programs are varied in content. Some are worship services conducted by students, faculty, or guest speakers, while others include films, lectures, drama, music or other special convocation programs. Chapel 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 chapel programs 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. Those who do need an automobile or motorcycle must secure a parking permit through the Business Office. The Dean of Students has the right to terminate a permit at any time if circumstances warrant such action. The College assumes no responsibility for damage, theft, or vandalism involving student vehicles. 16 GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE Alcohol and Drug Abuse Colden Valley Lutheran College strongly discourages all students from using alcohol and/or mood altering drugs.

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.

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 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 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. 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.

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. 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.

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.

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.

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.

' 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. 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, and cross country. The College is a member of the Minnesota State Junior College Conference and the National Junior College Athletic Association. 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. 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.

They are the Loyalty program, where one may pledge $400 to be paid over a four-year period, and the Inasmuch program, where one may pledge $1,000 or more to be paid over a four-year period.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 permit :at any time if, in his opinion,. circumstances warrant such 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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Homecoming, Sno-Daze and the Spring Banquet are examples of the many social activities available. Disciplinary problems are arbitrated by the student Judiciary Board.

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

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.

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.

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.

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..

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 /\ 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 Per Credit Grade 4 Superior A 3 Above Average B 2 c Average 1 Below Average D Failure 0 F I V W WF s u Incomplete* Audit 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 or within one year if the student does not return to Golden 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 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 33 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 Special 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 accepted in transfer from 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. Transfer credit will not be granted for courses in which a grade below C- was received. 34 GOLDEN VALLEY LUTHERAN COLLEGE Class Attendance Each student is responsible for regular class attendance 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 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 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 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 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.Sfor a quarter may have co-curricular activities curtailed or programs of study reduced, at the discretion of the Scholastic Standing Committee. 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. 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.
