Heritage
The University of Mount Union has roots in two traditions. The first of these is the Christian tradition as expressed in the American Methodist movement of the 19th Century. An important part of this movement was an effort to advance social progress through the establishment of academically rigorous institutions which were non-sectarian, as well as racially, ethnically, and gender inclusive. This rich, church-related legacy informs the present spirit in which Mount Union maintains an advisory and voluntary relationship with the United Methodist denomination. The Church does not direct policy, administration, academic curriculum, or campus life. The University of Mount Union affirms the spiritual center of all persons and acknowledges the deep impact that spiritual and religious experience has on both cultures and individuals. In light of this, the University takes seriously its dual responsibility to foster the academic study of religious experience and to provide resources that nurture and enrich the spiritual life of our students and all members of the Mount Union community. As a university of higher education, we neither advocate a particular spiritual heritage nor proselytize on behalf of any religious or sectarian orthodoxy. The other significant tradition of the University of Mount Union is rooted in an historic understanding of the liberal arts. A liberal arts education provides students with a broad base of knowledge in addition to training in a specific field of study. At its heart, a liberal arts course of study does not teach a single point of view, but equips and empowers students to form their own conclusions based on critical reasoning. This tradition of learning continues at the University of Mount Union.

These aspects of our heritage reinforce each other in the striving for excellence, concern for the inherent dignity and worth of each individual, and the emphasis on the spiritual as well as the intellectual achievements of humanity. We embrace the global nature of our student body, recognizing that diversity serves as a resource for learning as we develop and prepare our students for fulfilling lives, meaningful work, and responsible citizenship.

History
The University of Mount Union is the outgrowth of a town meeting held by forward-looking citizens of the village of Mount Union on October 4, 1846. At that time, the people gathered to hear Orville Nelson Hartshorn outline the need for a new institution in the area, where men and women could be educated with equal opportunity, where science would parallel the humanities, where laboratory and experimental subjects would receive proper emphasis, and where there would be no distinction due to race, color, sex or position. On October 20, 1846, this young man organized and taught on the third floor of the Old Carding Mill a select school of six students. The school grew rapidly under his inspired leadership and in 1849 became known as Mount Union Seminary. In 1853 a normal department was added for the training of teachers. On January 9, 1858, the institution was chartered and incorporated under the laws of the State of Ohio as Mount Union College. Although Mount Union had not been established by church efforts, its founder and early faculty members were dedicated Methodist laymen. One of the articles in the charter of the institution looked to the day when Mount Union would come under the patronage of some annual conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church. The Pittsburgh Annual Conference heartily endorsed the new University in 1858, but it was not until 1864 that Mount Union was granted full patronage by the conference. In September 1911, Scio University, located at Scio, Ohio, was united with Mount Union. By the articles of consolidation, the liberal arts alumni of the former institution were made alumni of the latter. Scio was established in 1857 at Harlem Springs, Ohio, as The Rural Seminary. In 1867 the school was moved to New Market, where it was known variously as New Market College, the One-Study University, and finally, Scio University in 1878. For many years Mount Union has claimed the distinction of being one of the first institutions to have a summer school. Started in 1870, this first summer school was actually a fourth term in the school year. Since that time, summer instruction has been offered each year at the institution. On August 1, 2010, the institution officially became known as the University of Mount Union. The change to a university designation was made in an effort to better describe what Mount Union is today and more effectively communicate all that the institution has to offer. This decision, unanimously approved by the Board of Trustees, came after careful review of data gathered through numerous research efforts and thoughtful consideration and discussion. From 1846 to present, the administration of the University has been under the leadership of 11 presidents: Orville Nelson Hartshorn, 1846-1887; Tamerlane Pliny Marsh, 1888-1898; Albert Birdsall Riker, 1898-1908; William Henry McMaster 1899, 1908-1938; Charles Burgess Ketcham, 1938-1953; Carl Cluster Bracy, 1954-1967; Ronald Gilbert Weber 38, 1967-1980; G. Benjamin Lantz Jr., 1980-85; Harold M. Kolenbrander, 1986-2000; John L. Ewing Jr. 2000-2005; and Richard F. Giese, 2005-.

Admission and Financial Aid

Admission to the University
The policy of the University of Mount Union is to enroll applicants who are best qualified to participate effectively and creatively in the life of the total academic community. Admissions decisions are based on past academic achievement as well as potential for future growth. Also considered are participation in high school and community activities, talents, interests, and motivation. A candidate may apply for admission after completion of six semesters of high school study. The University follows a policy of rolling admission with the first decisions released after September 15. Though early application is encouraged, selection is made on the basis of records and credentials rather than on the basis of priority of application. Students may enroll in the University at the beginning of any semester or, with permission, for the Summer Session. (See the Academic calendar on page 7 for opening dates of each semester.) Applications should be submitted well in advance of the opening date of each semester in order to receive

full consideration, and no later than the week prior to the start of each academic session. However, on an exceptional basis, the Office of Admission may give consideration to qualified applicants whose complete credentials are received by the fourth day of the first week of classes.

Entrance Requirements
An entering freshman should hold a diploma from an accredited secondary school and should have completed a minimum of 15 units. Consideration for admission as an entering freshman begins at the cumulative grade point average level of 2.0 on a 4.0 scale. Preference is given to applicants who have completed with distinction college preparatory programs which include 4 units in English; 3 units or more in each of the following fields: mathematics, social sciences and laboratory sciences; and 2 units or more in foreign language. Consideration for admission also is given to capable students who have followed alternate programs. Additional documentation may be required to support the admission application. Mount Union requires that an applicant submit the results of either the SAT Reasoning Test of the College Board (www.collegeboard.com) or the ACT examination (www.ACT.org). For all applicants applying for the 2012-2013 Academic Year, the University does not require the ACT Writing Test, and will not use the Writing Test as a factor for applicants from whom we receive the Writing Test score. Applicants for admission should contact their high school guidance counselor for further information concerning either examination. The applicant should arrange to take one or both of the examinations by the spring of the junior year or, at the latest, by the fall of the senior year. An information session with a member of the admission staff is recommended as it provides the opportunity for an exchange of pertinent information between the student and the admission officer. Interviews may be scheduled between the hours of 9 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. on weekdays throughout the year, and information sessions are held on Saturday mornings during the academic year. An applicant should contact the Office of Admission to arrange an interview appointment.

Admission by Transfer
Consideration for admission as a transfer student requires a minimum cumulative grade point average of a 2.0 (on an A = 4.0 scale; 2.0 = C) at the institution previously attended and documentation of good academic standing and honorable disciplinary standing on the Deans Evaluation Form. The application for admission should be accompanied by a personal statement explaining the reason for leaving the previous institution and the reason for selecting Mount Union. In addition, the applicant must have official transcripts forwarded from all institutions previously attended (including final high school transcripts). In order to be eligible for acceptance to the University of Mount Union Academic Record, a transferred course must: A. Have been earned at a regionally accredited college or university. B. Reflect a grade of C or higher. C. Be in an equivalent program offered by Mount Union. A student who has been registered for one or more courses in another university, with the exception of those students who enrolled under the PostSecondary Enrollment Option or Duel Credit Program, is classified as a transfer student. Failure to report attendance at another college or university, whether or not credit was granted, may result in suspension from the University of Mount Union. All transfer students must complete a minimum of 45 semester hours at the University of Mount Union before receiving a University of Mount Union degree. Certification of a major on a University of Mount Union degree for a transfer student will require the student to take courses in the major area and a Senior Culminating Experience. The courses necessary for completion of the major will be specified by the chair of the department of the proposed major after evaluation of the students transcript. These courses may be taken as part of the 45 semester hours required at the University of Mount Union. Transfer students who hold an associate of arts degree from a regionally accredited institution may be granted credit for up to 60 semester hours. Grade point averages accrued at other institutions are not transferable to the University of Mount Union.

Admission of International Students

An applicant who is not a United States citizen or eligible non-citizen shall be considered an international student and will apply for admission to the University through the Center for Global Education. Students may seek admission to the University once they have successfully completed the secondary school system as officially recognized by the country in which they are being educated. Applicants shall submit certified English translations of official academic records from each school attended beyond the primary level including the results of any government level examination required for official completion of secondary school, a Teacher Reference Form completed by an instructor at the latest educational level, and certification of adequate financial support. Applicants whose native language or language of secondary school instruction is not English must submit for review one of the following: results of the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) or of the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) or certification of the level completed at an English Language Center.

Returning Students
A Mount Union student whose attendance at the University is interrupted, either by suspension or by withdrawal for any reason, must apply for readmission with the Office of the Registrar in order to resume academic work at Mount Union. An extended absence may result in reassessment and/or adjustment of degree requirements. A student who has attended any other institutions since leaving Mount Union will have to submit transcripts from each school attended before being considered for readmission.

Transient Students from Another Institution

A student who is regularly enrolled at another college or university but who seeks approval to register for classes at Mount Union as a transient in order to have credit transferred to the home institution must apply by submitting a transient application to the Office of the Registrar. Although official transcripts are not required as part of the transient application process, a student seeking transient status at Mount Union must present evidence of good academic and disciplinary standing at the home institution. Following completion of the academic work, a transient student must request an official transcript be sent to the home institution in order to transfer credit accordingly.

Pre-College Credit
Students who have completed regular accredited college courses while in high school through programs such as Post-Secondary Enrollment Option

or dual credit may, by having a copy of their transcript sent from the credit-granting college (not the high school transcript) be awarded credit according to Mount Union policy. General conditions of transferring credit also apply here. Entering students are required to take certain tests at the time of entrance to the University and are encouraged to take placement tests in applicable areas in order that they may begin course work at the proper level.

Advanced Placement
Mount Union encourages the taking of advanced placement courses. The University may award credit based on achieving the appropriate examination score on College Board Advanced Placement Examinations. Further information on the Advanced Placement program may be obtained from the Office of Admission.

Post-Secondary Enrollment Option

The University of Mount Unions PSEO is designed to provide qualified high school students with the opportunity to complete college-level course work. The University reserves the right to limit the availability of the program based on enrollment trends of traditional students. When space is available, the University will use discretion in determining the best qualified candidates for admission to the program. University courses taken under PSEO also may fulfill high school graduation requirements, if approved by the students local school district. The number of courses that a student may take is determined by the Admission Committee and is based upon availability of courses and the academic credentials of the candidate. Preference will be given to high school seniors, then juniors. To be considered for admission to the program, the student should be commuting from a permanent residence (cannot apply to be a resident student), have a cumulative grade point average of a 3.5 or higher, rank within the top 15 percent of his/her high school class and have an enhanced ACT composite score of at least 26 or an SAT - I composite score of at least 1180 (or comparable PLAN or PSAT). Candidates who do not meet the above guidelines but who present other indications of unusual academic potential (i.e. a significantly higher level of achievement on at least one part of the ACT or SAT, with correspondingly high grades in that particular area) also may be considered for admission on a course by course basis. The University reserves the right to limit the number of participants in the program in any given semester. Applicants must submit prior to May 15 (for the following Fall Semester) or November 15 (Spring Semester) these materials: the PSEO Application Form; an official high school transcript; the Principal or Guidance Counselor Recommendation Form; standardized test score results and a 300-word essay on the reason for applying to PSEO. Admission notification is on a rolling basis and will occur no later than two weeks prior to the start of classes. Students enrolling under Option A (for college credit only) are responsible for all tuition, fees and book costs. The tuition for Ohio students enrolling under Option B (for high school and/or college credit) is generally provided by the public school system. However, under Option B, the dropping of a course prior to successful completion or non-attendance may result in the parent/guardian reimbursing the school district the amount of state subsidy lost to the district. At the time of enrollment under Option B, both student and parent are required to sign a Financial Responsibility Acknowledgment Form. PSEO students may request an offical transcript in accordance to university policy.

Consumer Information Disclosures

As a prospective student, federal regulations stipulate that you have the opportunity to access various types of consumer information. If you wish to obtain a copy of the Equity in Athletics Disclosure Act Report, please contact the Office of Admission. This report, which contains athletic program participation rates and financial support data, is compiled annually and available to the public. If you wish to obtain a copy of the Campus Crime Report, please contact the Office of Admission. This report is published annually and includes information about campus security policies, procedures, and practices and statistics for the occurrence, during the prior three calendar years, of criminal offenses that were reported to local police agencies or to a campus security authority.

Financial Aid for Undergraduate Students

The primary goal of the financial aid program at Mount Union is to assist students in meeting their University expenses by providing financial resources. Financial assistance from the University should be considered as supplemental to the family effort. The investment of the family includes parental support for dependent students and a contribution from the students themselves. Mount Union will strive to assist eligible students to the greatest extent possible based on the Universitys available resources.

Eligibility for Financial Aid for Traditional Undergraduate Students

To be eligible for financial assistance, the student must be classified as a full-time traditional student and show satisfactory progress toward meeting the requirements for a degree (see explanation on page 24). Institutional financial assistance is not available to any student who holds a bachelors degree or higher or for summer school. Consideration for institutional need-based grants will be available for up to 10 semesters or until completion of the degree, whichever is less. Students who wish to accelerate their program by attending summer school may be eligible for limited types of assistance. The amounts and types of assistance for summer attendance are limited, and applications for such aid should be made preceding attendance. Students must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) in order to be considered for financial assistance based on financial need. Students apply online at www.fafsa.gov and the federal school code for the University of Mount Union is 003083. The student will be considered for state funds, federal grants such as Pell and TEACH Grant as well as federal loans and employment opportunities. University aid will be based on the assumption that students will apply for and receive other financial aid for which they are eligible. If additional aid or scholarships are received after the initial aid award has been given to the student, a review of the aid eligibility may require some adjustments to that the total award does not exceed federal, state or institutional guidelines and regulations. Students who attend summer school at Mount Union may be eligible for financial assistance. Students may use federal funds such as Federal Loans for summer if they are eligible (according to the FAFSA). Any federal loans used for the summer sessions may reduce eligibility for the remainder of the year.

Satisfactory Academic Progress: Financial Aid Considerations

Federal regulations require the University of Mount Union to establish satisfactory academic progress (SAP) standards for student financial aid recipients. Mount Unions SAP policy measures a students performance in the following three areas: cumulative grade point average (GPA), completion

rate, and maximum time frame. The Office of Student Financial Services is responsible for ensuring that all students who receive federal, state, and institutional financial aid are meeting these standards. The Standards of Satisfactory Academic Progress apply for all financial assistance programs including but not limited to: Federal Pell Grant, Federal Perkins Loan, Federal Work-Study (FWS), Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG), Direct Loans (Stafford and Parent PLUS Loan), as well as financial aid from the state of Ohio and the University of Mount Union. To retain financial aid eligibility, a student must be in good academic standing, as described on page 32, in terms of minimum cumulative GPA requirements. A student must also be making satisfactory academic progress in terms of completing courses. A student enrolled at the University of Mount Union on a full-time basis is considered to be making satisfactory academic progress (SAP) if he or she successfully completes a minimum of 67% of the credit hours attempted, reviewed annually at the end of the spring semester. (Please note that financial aid regulations prohibit a student from repeating a course that he or she has already passed more than once.) A student may repeat a course that he or she has previously passed more than once, but such courses will not be eligible for financial aid. Finally, a student must complete his or her degree within 150% of the published length of the program as measured by credit hours attempted. At the University of Mount Union, this means in programs requiring 120 hours for graduation, a student is eligible for financial aid through 180 attempted hours. All attempted hours are counted whether or not financial aid was received or the course work was successfully completed. Once a student reaches 180 attempted credits (150% time frame), eligibility for financial aid will terminated indefinitely. Satisfactory Academic Progress is reviewed annually at the end of the spring semester. Students not meeting the completion rate or the minimum GPA requirement at the end of each academic year will be at risk of losing their financial aid eligibility. Such students will be notified by the Office of Student Financial Services.

Financial Aid Appeal Procedure

Students who have lost federal financial aid eligibility may appeal to the Office of Student Financial Services if they have mitigating circumstances (e.g. emergency, health, family circumstances, etc.). A student must appeal in writing to the Office of Student Financial Services within two weeks of being notified. Such appeals must provide an explanation for why the student failed to achieve Satisfactory Academic Progress, and must include a statement explaining how the student will achieve Satisfactory Academic Progress in the subsequent semester. Additional documentation or letters of support may be requested. The Financial Aid Committee, consisting of the Director of the Office of Financial Services and two members of the staff of that office, designated by the Director, will review the appeal and notify the student of a decision within two weeks.

Financial Aid Probation

If a students appeal is granted, the student may continue to receive financial aid during the following semester, and will be considered on financial aid probation. If after the following semester, the student succeeds and meets both the completion rate and GPA requirements, he or she will be removed from financial aid probation because he or she will be meeting satisfactory academic progress.

Financial Aid Suspension

If after one semester on academic warning, the student fails to meet minimum SAP standards, his or her financial aid will be suspended and will receive a letter of aid suspension from the Office of Student Financial Services. If the student is otherwise eligible to take classes, he or she may continue to do so, using their own funds or private loans (those that have no SAP restrictions) until they have successfully met the minimum SAP standards, at which time, aid eligibility may be restored.

Determination of Financial Aid Eligibility for Undergraduate Students

The University requires the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to determine eligibility for need-based financial aid from federal aid programs, state grants and institutional funds. Students can access this website at www.fafsa.gov. Students are encouraged to file electronically. The Office of Student Financial Services determines the financial aid award, which is consistent with federal, state and institutional guidelines. Changes that occur in the familys financial situation after the aid applications have been filed should be reported to the Office of Student Financial Services for guidance. All financial aid documents must be processed by the last date of attendance or the last day of the semester, whichever comes first. Adjustments to the financial aid award may be the result of submitting documents such as verification worksheets and special circumstance forms or result from a change in the student housing status (on-campus vs. off-campus vs. commuter). In addition, inaccurate information, notification of additional aid from outside sources, certification of Federal Parent PLUS or alternative loans could also cause changes. Amounts may vary due to changes in federal, state or University funding of programs. The student will be notified of each financial aid revision. Students are notified electronically.

Financial Aid Awarding Policies for Undergraduate Students

Housing Status: University policy requires freshmen and sophomores to live on campus or to commute from their parents home. For purposes of the initial financial aid award, we will make the assumption that the student will reside on campus unless the FAFSA indicates with parents. In the case of FAFSA non-filers, we will assume on campus unless notified otherwise by the family. Students should anticipate that their aid will change as a result of a change in housing status. Enrollment Status: Financial aid awards for traditional students are based on full-time enrollment (12 semester hours per semester) unless otherwise indicated. It is the students responsibility to check with the Office of Student Financial Services if part-time attendance is desired. However, students enrolled less than 12 semester hours may be eligible for part-time Federal grants and/or a Federal Stafford Loan (minimum of six semester hours). Multiple Grants and Scholarships Policy: The initial institutional merit-based award is offered without regard for financial need. Students who may be eligible for multiple institutional grants and/or scholarships will receive at least the value of the highest grant or scholarship. It is our policy not to stack multiple institutional awards on the basis of merit. Consideration that is given for any portion of a second grant/scholarship or award made up of the University of Mount Union dollars will be based on financial need and will require the student to file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) which is available online at www.fafsa.gov.

Refund Policy
Withdrawal Procedure and Policy for the Return of Title IV /State/Institutional Funds

14

Withdrawal Process:
A student who wants to withdraw after classes have started for the semester initiates the process with the Office of Student Affairs to indicate that he/she is withdrawing. The official date of withdrawal is the date the student contacted the Office of Student Affairs OR the midpoint of the semester if the student leaves without notifying the institution OR the students last date of attendance at a documented academically related activity. This policy applies to students who withdraw from all of their classes for the semester or are suspended. Students who participate in activities on campus prior to the first day of classes and then submit written notice of withdrawal prior to the first day of classes shall be assessed an early withdrawal fee of $100. The charges for tuition, fees, room and meal plan assessed to the student are based on the number of calendar days (including Saturday and Sunday) that the student is enrolled on campus in direct proportion to the period of enrollment (number of calendar days in the semester). The student who withdraws after 60 percent of the enrollment period will be charged for the whole semester and will be eligible for financial aid based on the semester costs.

Return of Federal Title IV Funds

Title IV funds are Direct Lending loans, Federal Perkins Loans, Direct Lending PLUS loans, Federal Pell Grants and Federal SEOG. This is the order used to return funds to the federal programs. The University of Mount Union must return its share of unearned Title IV funds no later than 30 days after it determines that the student withdrew. During the first 60 percent of the period (semester), a student earns Title IV funds in direct proportion to the length of time he or she remains enrolled. That is, the percentage of time during the period that the student remained enrolled is the percentage of disbursable aid for that period that the student earned. A student who remains enrolled beyond the 60 percent point earns all Title IV aid for the period. Unearned Title IV funds, other than FWS (Federal Work Study), must be returned by the University to the federal programs. Unearned aid is the amount of disbursed Title IV aid that exceeds the amount of Title IV aid earned. Once the institution determines the Title IV programs to which the student must repay his or her share of unearned aid, any amounts owed to a grant program are cut in half. Any grant the student needs to repay will be reflected on the final billing statement.

Return of State Grant Funds

In addition to calculating all Title IV funds the student received, we calculate state funds according to the State Refund Policy. Aid is refunded only during the first 60 percent of the semester.

Institutional Grants or Scholarships

After all Title IV funds from which the student received aid have been fully returned to those agencies, a proportional share of the remaining tuition refund, not to exceed the amount of the institutional payment the student initially received for the semester, must be returned to the University of Mount Union. Aid is refunded only during the first 60 percent of the semester.

Adjustments
After the proper refund/repayment to Title IV, state, and institutional funds are determined, then adjustments are made to the students award. Adjustments are reflected in the Office of Business Affairs final billing, and notification is sent to the student.

Refund policy for university funds and state funds for students who drop from full-time to part-time during the Universitys refund period
Students wishing to drop from full-time (12 or more hours) to part-time (less than 12 hours) need to submit a Schedule Change Form to the Office of the Registrar. The date that Change Form is received and processed by the Office of the Registrar will be the official withdrawal date from the class or classes being dropped. Dropping to less than full-time can impact satisfactory academic progress, campus employment, athletic eligibility, housing and loan eligibility amount for the following year. The student who changes enrollment status after 60 percent of the enrollment period will be charged for the whole semester and will be eligible for financial aid based on the semester costs. The Office of Business Affairs will charge full fees and will charge tuition as follows: Part-time tuition charges for the part-time hours PLUS a percentage of the difference between full-time and the part-time tuition charges that correspond with the refund policy percentage. Example: A student drops from full-time to seven hours during the 50 percent refund period. Full-time tuition is $12,700, part-time tuition is $1,065 per semester hour. The student would be charged $1065 x 7 or $7,455 plus 50 percent of ($12,700 $7,455) to equal $10,077 plus full fees for the semester. If a student drops below 12 credit hours during the Universitys refund period, the amount of the University grant/scholarship will be determined by the percentage reduction in the students actual tuition charges. Example: If a student drops from full-time with tuition charges of $12,700 to seven hours with actual charges of $10,077, the tuition reduction would be $2,623 or 20.6 percent. Consequently, 20.6 percent of the University grant/scholarship would be refunded to the University. If this student had a university grant of $2,000, he/she would then get credit for $1,588 instead of the $2,000.

Refund Appeal Process

If a student believes that individual circumstances warrant exceptions from published refund policies, they should appeal the decision by sending a written letter of appeal to the Vice President for Academic Affairs, University of Mount Union, 1972 Clark Ave., Alliance, OH 44601.

Other Information

Counseling Services
The aim of counseling at Mount Union is to assist students in living as well as possible. Counseling here is a partnership; people working together to find solutions and possibilities in life.

Good health contributes to the productivity and success of students and helps them achieve their academic, social, athletic, career and personal goals. The Health Center supports the institutional mission of the University to prepare students for meaningful work, fulfilling lives and responsible citizenship. The Health Center helps individuals achieve their optimal level of wellness so they can face challenges that enable them to obtain meaningful work, lead fulfilling lives and be responsible citizens.

Location and Hours

The University of Mount Union Student Health Center is located within the Family Medical Center of Alliance Medical Complex located at 149 E. Simpson St. Services are available Monday through Friday with nurses on duty from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m. during the academic year when classes are in session. The university physician is available for students between 10:45 a.m. and 12:15 p.m. Summer hours are 8 a.m. until noon with nurses on duty.

Services
The Health Center functions as an ambulatory care center. Services include health promotion, health protection, health education, disease prevention and clinical care. Preliminary diagnostic work, preventative medicine and the care of short-term illness and injuries are services provided. The Health Center staff provides students with opportunities for learning outside the classroom. The Health Center celebrates many national health observances, and the staff teaches students about healthy lifestyles, health promotion, disease prevention, safety and self-care issues.

Emergency Information
Students who have medical emergencies should go to the emergency room at the nearest hospital. The nearest hospital in Alliance is Alliance Community Hospital.

After Hours Care

In case of minor illness and injuries that occur after Health Center hours, students may use an urgent care center, such as an immediate care facility, or the hospital. Students, however, will be liable for expenses incurred unless the medical care is covered by insurance. Students who need assistance in making arrangements for afterhours care should contact their resident directors or community educators. Those students who receive medical care after hours must contact the Health Center the next day to follow up with the physician and complete an insurance claim form.

Policy Statement for Follow-Up Care

It is the policy of the Student Health Center that students who obtain diagnostic tests, medical consultations or other treatments at the Student Health Center receive appropriate follow-up care. If a student has an x-ray, diagnostic test or medical consultation, the results will be provided to the student during his or her follow-up appointment at the Health Center. It is the students responsibility to return to the Health Center to obtain x-ray and diagnostic test results or to receive follow-up care. Unless the x-ray, diagnostic test or medical consultation indicates a serious and/or emergency medical condition, the staff will make one telephone call to the student to inform him or her of the need to return to the Health Center, to schedule or reschedule appointments, or to follow-up with any treatments or other care. If a student is not available when a telephone call is made to him or her, the Health Center staff will contact the student by e-mail.

Health Requirements Prior To Arrival On Campus

Health forms are mailed to all freshmen and transfer students prior to the beginning of each semester. The information is mandatory and all forms must be completed and returned to the Health Center prior to the arrival of each student on campus. Lost forms may be downloaded from the Health Center webpage. All students must have a physical. The physical exam includes questions about symptoms of tuberculosis and the possible need for Mantoux (tuberculosis) skin testing. Refer to the physical form for details. Guidelines for screening questions and testing are based on recommendations from the American College Health Association (ACHA) and the Center for Disease Control (CDC). Mandatory immunizations include: Two doses of MMR (Measles, Mumps and Rubella) vaccine and a Tetanus-Diphtheria booster or Tdap booster within the last 10 years. Refer to the immunization forms for details. To reduce and eliminate vaccine preventable diseases on campus we support the recommendations of the ACHA, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), and the CDC that all immunizations be up to date. Information about vaccine preventable diseases and vaccines is included in the health forms sent to all students. More information can be found on the CDC website, www.cdc.gov. University freshman living in the close quarters of dormitories are at higher risk of meningococcal disease compared with peers the same age who are not attending the University. The ACHA, ACIP and CDC recommend University freshmen living in dormitories be immunized to reduce disease risk. Other University students may choose to receive the meningococcal vaccination to reduce their risk for the disease. Ohio law states institutions of higher education shall not permit a student to reside in on-campus housing unless the student (or parent if the student is younger than 18 years of age) discloses whether the student has been vaccinated against meningococcal disease and hepatitis B by submitting a meningitis and hepatitis B vaccination status statement. Additional information about the diseases, the vaccines and their effectiveness and status statements can be viewed on the Ohio Department of Health webpage: http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/recs/acip/default.htm.

Membership
The Mount Union Health Center is a member of the American College Health Association and the Ohio College Health Association.

Student Accident and Sickness Reimbursement Plan

Because Mount Union has always been concerned with the promotion of good health for its students, the University has adopted a Student Accident and Sickness Reimbursement Plan. The plan is provided as part of the fees paid by full-time undergraduate students. Students must utilize the services of the Health Center whenever possible. When treatment is beyond the capacity of the Health Center, students will be referred elsewhere. Brochures explaining benefits and information about the services of the Health Center are mailed to students prior to the beginning of each academic year and to new students as they enter the University. Students and their parents should read the brochure, and students should carry their plan cards with them. Claim forms and details can be obtained from the Health Center.

Intercollegiate Athletics
Mount Union is a Division III member of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and the Ohio Athletic Conference (OAC). All athletic

18

contests are conducted under the rules and regulations of these associations. Student-athletes have the same privileges and responsibilities as other students.

The Committee on Athletics is appointed by the president and serves in an advisory capacity and makes athletic policy recommendations to the president. Actions of the committee are regularly reported to the faculty and are subject to faculty approval. The ultimate responsibility and authority for the administration of the athletics program, including all basic policies, personnel and finances, are vested in the president of the University. The intercollegiate athletic program operates separately from the academic programs in physical education, health education, athletic training, exercise science and sport management. Mount Union annually completes the NCAA Gender Equity Survey. Under the Equity in Athletics Disclosure Act, this report is available for review in the Office of Academic Affairs upon request.

Intercollegiate Athletics Philosophy

Mount Union adopted the following principles as guidelines for our intercollegiate athletics program: A. The educational values, practices and mission of Mount Union determines the standards by which we conduct our intercollegiate athletics program. B. The highest priority is placed on the overall quality of a students educational experience and on the successful completion of a students academic program. C. The welfare, health, safety and academic progress of student-athletes are primary concerns of athletics administration on Mount Unions campus. D. Every student-athlete male and female, majority and minority, in all sports will receive equitable and fair treatment. E. The admission of student-athletes to Mount Union and the financial aid for student-athletes at Mount Union will be based on the same criteria as that of non-athletes. F. Student-athletes, in each sport, should be graduated in at least the same ratio as non-athletes who have spent comparable time as full-time students. G. The development of sportsmanship and ethical conduct in all constituents, including student-athletes, coaches, administrative personnel and spectators is encouraged. An atmosphere of respect and sensitivity to the dignity of every person, including on the basis of age, color, disability, gender, national origin, race, religion, creed or sexual orientation, will be promoted. H. The time required of student-athletes for participation in intercollegiate athletics shall be regulated to minimize interference with their opportunities for acquiring a quality education in a manner consistent with that afforded the general student body. I. All funds raised and spent in connection with intercollegiate athletics programs will be channeled through the institutions general treasury not through independent groups, whether internal or external. The Office of Athletics budget will be developed and monitored in accordance with general budgeting procedures on campus. J. Annual academic and fiscal audits of the athletics program will be conducted.

Statement Concerning Sportsmanship/Ethical Conduct of the University of Mount Union Intercollegiate Athletic Teams
The University of Mount Union expects high standards of honesty, integrity and behavior in the conduct of intercollegiate athletic competition. It is the responsibility of coaches, student-athletes, administrators and other athletic personnel of the University of Mount Union to recognize the significance of their behavior as visible members of the campus and local community. These participants are, therefore, expected to live up to their responsibility by demonstrating good sportsmanship. Inappropriate conduct on the part of coaches, student-athletes, administrators or other athletic personnel, which includes the use of alcohol or controlled substances, verbal or physical abuse, or demeaning words or actions toward officials, coaches, players or fans is unacceptable and will not be tolerated. Existing rules for athletic competition that deal with sportsmanship/ethical conduct will be fully enforced at the University of Mount Union. Where existing rules are inadequate, the expectations of the University of Mount Union will set the standard for appropriate behavior.

Intercollegiate Athletics Eligibility

To be eligible for participation in the Universitys intercollegiate athletic program during the traditional season, a student must be enrolled full-time for the semesters of participation, must be in good academic standing and be making satisfactory progress toward a degree (page 32). To be eligible for participation in the Universitys intercollegiate athletic program during the non-traditional season, a student must be enrolled full-time for the semesters of participation. These requirements are in accordance with National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) guidelines.

Marriage of Students
Students who are married must disclose this fact in completing enrollment forms. In order to update appropriate records, students planning to be married are encouraged to notify the dean of students and the director of student financial services in advance of their marriage.

Multicultural Student Affairs

The Office of Multicultural Student Affairs falls under the Office of Student Affairs, reporting to the vice president for student affairs and dean of students. Multicultural Student Affairs primarily serves as a resource for students of color in matters of academic, social, cultural, and personal wellbeing. However, the office also offers services to all students who are interested in/concerned with issues of diversity within the campus community. Mount Union believes that an appreciation of diversity among campus constituencies creates a welcoming campus environment that is crucial to the success of all students.

19

The Office of Multicultural Student Affairs actively works to enhance the quality of student life on the Mount Union campus by providing programs, services and other educational opportunities that contribute to student learning and growth. While student needs are the primary focus, diversity focused programming is available to the entire Mount Union community during the academic year.

Residence Life
Housing of students at the University of Mount Union falls under the auspices of the Office of Residence Life within the Office of Student Affairs. Mount Union ascribes to the belief that the residential experience can significantly contribute to a students overall collegiate experience. In accordance with those beliefs, all full-time students, prior to their junior year, are required to live on campus unless a University of Mount Union Petition for OffCampus Residency Prior to Junior Year is submitted to and approved by the Office of Residence Life. In addition, all students living in campus housing (with the exception of the apartment-style housing) are required to be on a campus meal plan. Approximately 1,650 students live on campus in 10 residence halls, three apartment complexes, and as many as 15 houses making Mount Union a largely residential campus. There are essentially four types of housing options available to students residing on campus: single-gender and coeducational traditional style residence halls; coeducational, upper-class suite-style residence halls; residential houses and upperclass apartments or townhouse-style living options. In addition, fraternity members in good standing may choose to live in their fraternity house. All rooms in campus housing are equipped with beds, desks, desk chairs, dressers, closets or wardrobes, and drapes or blinds. Additionally, all campus housing is wired for computer networking, campus cable, telephone and voicemail. Laundry machines are available in all residential facilities. Seven professional staff members, called resident directors, live on campus and are responsible for the day-to-day supervision of the residence halls and houses. In addition to ensuring the smooth operation of the building, they supervise the student residence life staff in each area and strive to make the residence halls and houses true living and learning communities. There is a resident director on call (RD on duty) 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The RD on duty is available to assist students with any residence hall emergencies or after-hour situations that may occur.

Service-Learning and Community Service

The Office of Service-Learning and Community Service, part of the Regula Center for Public Service and Civic Engagement in van den Eynden Hall, is a center of resources for students wishing to participate in community service opportunities, faculty wanting to add curricular service to a course and community partners needing student volunteers. The office coordinates extracurricular volunteer community service activities, such as Make a Difference Day, Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service and the annual alternative spring break program. Students can also seek regular community service placements through the office in a variety of fields. Service internships in fields such as grant writing, non-profit management and public relations are also available with some of our partners. More resources are available on iRaider and in the Service Learning Library, located outside the Faculty and Staff Commons in the Kolanbrander-Harter Information Center. Students who would like more information about community service and volunteer opportunities or service-learning can contact the Office of Service-Learning and Community Service at (330) 823-5993 or by emailing the director at pontiucm@mountunion.edu.

Spiritual Life
The University of Mount Union has a chaplain who ministers to the spiritual needs of the academic community. The chaplain serves as spiritual advisor to students, faculty, and administration. The chaplain is responsible for providing and supervising all aspects of spiritual life on campus which include community worship and prayer; advising and coordinating the activities of student religious groups; encouraging student involvement in the worship and community life of churches in the Alliance area; developing and participating in local, regional and national student religious conferences and retreats; and planning and coordinating work trips for students, faculty and administrators. The University cooperates with local churches of all denominations by encouraging students to take an active part in the various churches.

Student Involvement and Leadership

The Office of Student Involvement & Leadership prepares Mount Union students for fulfilling lives, meaningful work and responsible citizenship through engaging and intentional cocurricular activities, programs, services, and partnerships. Through immersed participation, training, practice and reflection, the Mount Union student will gain skills that will complement their academic endeavors and further enable their success after graduation. Student Involvement & Leadership is directly responsible for the coordination of all-campus programs, advising fraternity and sorority life, coordinating and implementing leadership programs, organizing and executing the summer Preview and Orientation programs, providing student organization support, and offering the Student Involvement Record.

All-Campus Programming
Mount Union After Hours and The Raider Programming Board
The Mount Union After Hours program and the Raider Programming Board are the Universitys two student-led program boards. After Hours is designed to provide a late night weekend alternative for student social interaction. Held during peak social times, events include acoustical acts, bingo, ice skating, Cavs and Indians game trips, and other themed and student-focused activities. After Hours strives to give students activities free of charge while creating a fun and exciting atmosphere both on and off the Mount Union campus. Raider Programming Board, or RPB, is responsible for a number of the all-campus programs that are brought to campus, including weekly programs, Homecoming, Family Day, Little Sibs Weekend, Springfest, and much more. This group meets weekly in the Hoover-Price Campus Center, so if you have an interest in what acts come to entertain the student body, then joining RPB is definitely for you!

Family Day
Family Day provides students, parents and their families an opportunity to re-connect during the middle of the fall semester. Including attendance at a Raider football game, a luncheon and evening entertainment, Family Day provides resources for families to continue to support the educational pursuits of their students. A full day of events is being planned for Family Day, which is scheduled for Saturday, September 17, 2011.

Homecoming
The Raider Programming Board Vice President and the Assistant Director of OSIL, along with the Office of Alumni Relations and University Activities

20

coordinate the events of the annual Alumni/Homecoming Weekend. The Raider Programming Board selects and coordinates the events of the week leading up to Homecoming, providing entertainment such as comedians, musical acts, and hypnotists. Raider Programming Board and the Mount Union Student Senate coordinate Mr. MUC, the annual reverse beauty pageant. At half time of the Homecoming football game, the King and Queen Ceremony take place.

Little Sibs Weekend

A variety of student organizations on campus sponsor events throughout the weekend to provide entertainment and welcome younger family members of the current students.

Leadership Programs
Our leadership programs provide students at a variety of abilities and engagement levels with appropriately designed leadership opportunities to further enhance their learning and engagement on campus. This includes the Emerging Leaders Program for first year students, the Fraternal Leadership Education Program for first year fraternity/sorority members, and additional workshops and offerings available throughout the year to meet the needs of student leaders and organizations.

Fraternity and Sorority Life

Mount Union hosts four fraternities and four sororities on campus. The Office of Student Involvement and Leadership holds the philosophy that the social fraternities and sororities are a part of a community emphasizing the shared values of the various groups, having a high expectation for interaction among all groups. When joining one organization, a member can expect to feel a sense of belonging to a greater whole. Mount Union provides the opportunity for first-year students to join a fraternity or sorority during their first semester on campus, including in the fall of their first year. Any student who is not currently affiliated with a fraternity or sorority may participate in the recruitment process at any point in their college career. A man interested in fraternity life must achieve a minimum 2.75 high school GPA or 2.3 college GPA to be eligible to join a Greek organization. Women interested in joining a sorority must obtain that minimum grade point average required by the chapter of their interest. Interfraternity Council and Panhellenic Council, the fraternity and sorority governing boards, organize and operate the recruitment period in September. The individual chapters also sponsor a variety of events throughout the year to provide new students with information regarding fraternities and sororities. Sophomore, junior and senior students may choose to reside in their fraternity houses. Sorority houses are owned and operated by alumni house corporations but exist as meeting spaces.

Preview and Fall Orientation

Preview
Preview, held during the summer months, is designed to begin the college transition process for both students and parents. In addition to making student, faculty, staff and family connections, Preview will provide students with the foundation to succeed academically. This includes math and foreign language testing, learning about the general education requirements, and meeting with an academic advisor to schedule classes for the fall semester.

Fall Orientation
Fall Orientation, held in the fall prior to the first day of classes, is designed to continue to the transition to college process by providing opportunities to connect with roommates and classmates, learn more about extracurricular activities that enhance the whole college experience, and reconnect with faculty and the academic curriculum through a series of informational and social programs intended to increase a students success. All new students will participate in one of the oldest and most celebrated traditions at Mount Union, the Matriculation Convocation.

Student Organizations
In support of the leadership development that takes place in student organizations, the Office of Student Involvement and Leadership also serves as a resource center and clearinghouse for the approximately 80 active student organizations on campus. Students can learn about becoming involved in these student organizations by participating in the Student Involvement Fair held during the first week of the fall semester. All student organizations are required to register with the Office of Student Involvement & Leadership and maintain current contact information for presidents and advisors. Students interested in starting a new student organization can obtain materials and learn the appropriate process by contacting the office.

Student Senate
The Mount Union Student Senate is the chief avenue for students to maintain an effective voice in the affairs of the University by serving as the link between the student body and the administration. Through Student Senate, students can express concerns or make suggestions (either directly or through their representatives) about any issue on campus, be it academics or campus life. In addition, any student or organization may petition Student Senate for funding for extracurricular projects and endeavors.

Student Involvement Record

The Student Involvement Record (SIR) is a chronological record of a students participation in co-curricular activities at Mount Union College. The SIR can be best described as a co-curricular transcript intended to complement the academic transcript by providing a chronology of the students accomplishments while a student at the College. The Student Involvement Record program is a comprehensive attempt to provide data and information regarding student involvement in co-curricular and related non-classroom activities. The SIR was developed to provide statistical information regarding student involvement, provide useful services to student organizations, and provide students with a chronology of their involvement. The information submitted is kept on file in the Office of Student Involvement & Leadership. Many departments on campus request student involvement information throughout the year for various reasons. It is to a students advantage to an SIR on file. This information is often used when students are being considered for an academic or leadership honor/award. Additionally, this information can be used in support of the academic transcript during the job search process. The Student Involvement Record needs to be updated each semester so that a students record is as accurate as possible. Each semester, presidents, advisors and coaches will be asked to update information regarding their organization. Information can be updated at any time by contacting the Office

21

of Student Involvement & Leadership. Students will be given the opportunity to adjust information on their activity record, but will be required to seek the advisors signature as confirmation of their participation.

Student Success Center

The Student Success Center (SSC) located in the Hoover-Price Campus Center, includes the Office of Academic Advising, the Office of Academic Support, Career Development and the Office of Student Accessibility Services. The Writing Center, located in the Kolenbrander-Harter Information Center, actively collaborates with the SSC. While each office provides a different kind of assistance, they work together so that students can locate exactly what they need with ease.

Academic Advising
The Office of Academic Advising (AA) works one-on-one with students who are unsure of their major. Students can opt to take an assessment to help identify the majors that might be a good fit for their academic strengths and interests. This office also offers a class during the spring semester to allow students to further explore their academic pursuits.

Academic Support
The Office of Academic Support assists students with classes in a variety of ways ranging from peer-led study groups and tutoring that focus on course content to ways to study and prepare for tests that utilize individual learning styles. Strategies are tailored to student needs and strengths, looking at all the different components that help students achieve in the classroom.

Student Accessibility Services

The Office of Student Accessibility Services (SAS) provides educational opportunities for qualified persons with disabilities through accessible programs, services, and a campus environment in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act and other disability rights legislation. SAS also serves as a resource to the University community in regard to compliance issues.

Writing Center
The Writing Center provides writing tutors who work with students to improve writing and editing skills for many different types of papers, including essays, research papers, and lab reports. Students may work with tutors at any stage of the writing process, from choosing a topic through development of a final draft of the paper.

At the end of each fall and spring semester as well as summer sessions, the registrar presents to the faculty the names of all students who have at that point successfully completed all requirements for graduation. The faculty must then approve these potential graduates before they can be awarded a degree. Once the faculty have approved the candidates for a specific degree, that degree will be conferred on those students by the University. Faculty approval At the end of the spring semester At the end of the summer sessions At the end of the fall semester Degree conferral May August December

For degrees conferred in August or December, diplomas will be mailed to the students; degree conferral in May will be done at Commencement where diplomas will be issued directly to the student. Students whose degrees were conferred in August or December also may participate in the May

24

Commencement exercises. The graduates official academic records will include evidence of degree conferral. A student who completes degree requirements between the times of degree conferral may request from the registrar a letter of completion certifying that degree requirements have been satisfied and confirming that the degree will be awarded at the next conferral date. If the student has an outstanding financial obligation to the University, until and unless those financial obligations have been reconciled, a potential graduate or a degree candidate may not: A. Obtain a letter of completion. B. Participate in any aspect of the Baccalaureate or Commencement exercises (i.e. wear an academic robe, cross the stage with others who have completed degree requirements, etc.). C. Receive a diploma or any other attendant documents (e.g. certificates, awards, honors, etc.). D. Secure any evidence or verification of degree conferral (e.g. transcript etc.).

Walking at Commencement
If a student is or will be within one course of completing all requirements for the bachelors degree at the time of the May Commencement, the student may apply to the registrar to be allowed to walk at Commencement. If approval is granted, the missing course must be taken at Mount Union or as an approved transient course in the summer immediately following that Commencement. The student must be registered for the course prior to Commencement Students who participate in the May ceremony as walkers will not graduate until the August conferral date. During the period of time between completion of all requirements and the date the degree is awarded, students may request a Certificate of Completion to accompany a transcript. Please note: Honors designations will not be listed in the Commencement program.

Second Degree Requirements

Although a second baccalaureate degree is not normally conferred by the University of Mount Union, a graduate of the University or of another accredited institution can pursue a second degree by completing the following: A. The plan must be approved by the major department involved; B. All requirements for the degree being pursued must be completed including a new major and minor; C. All University and liberal arts requirements must be satisfied; D. The second degree may not reflect an essential duplication of a major or minor; E. A minimum of 30 semester hours in residence beyond the first degree must be completed; F. Both degrees may not be conferred at the same time.

The Major
Each student must declare at least one major program of study. A major consists of not less than 24 nor more than 36 semester hours in a major field, at least 12 of which must be completed at Mount Union with none of these 12 being transient credits. However, a student may pursue additional courses in a major field to a total of 48 semester hours to count toward the 120 required for graduation. Foreign language majors and minors who take courses in a foreign language as part of a Study Abroad Program in a country where the foreign language being studied is the language of that country may count those courses toward the minimum residency requirement for the major and minor subject to the prior approval of the chairperson of the Department of Foreign Languages and Cultures at Mount Union. The chairpersons review will include a determination of whether or not there is an appropriate distribution of language/culture/literature in the major/minor. By the time a student has completed 60 semester hours, he or she must declare an academic major and be officially assigned to an academic advisor who is a faculty member in the department responsible for the declared major. To declare a major, the student must complete a Declaration/Change of Major/Minor/Advisor form; the form must be approved by the appropriate department chair and submitted to the Office of the Registrar. Satisfactory completion of a major program includes achieving a 2.000 minimum grade point average in the major. Major and departmental requirements appear in the respective discipline sections located in the Programs of Study section of this Catalogue.

A student may be required by his or her major department to complete selected courses to complement courses in the major field and/or to satisfactorily complete examinations related to the major field. A self-defined interdisciplinary major is available to a student interested in pursuing a concentration of study not specified in this Catalogue. Such interdisciplinary majors must satisfy all University and liberal arts requirements for graduation and must be consistent with the liberal arts objectives of the University of Mount Union. Twenty-four semester hours must be completed in any one department discipline within the self-defined major; however, no more than 36 semester hours in any one departmental discipline may be applied toward the total 120 semester hours required for graduation. A student who has completed less than half the course work in the interdisciplinary major, and who has achieved at least a 2.500 grade point average may submit a self-defined program proposal which will be reviewed and adjudicated by a committee composed of three faculty members representing the disciplines involved in the proposal and the Academic Policies Committee.

The Minor
With the exception of those in the BM or BME degree programs, all students are required to complete a minor program of study; available minors are noted in the discipline sections beginning on page 50 of this Catalogue. A minor program consists of from 12 to 18 semester hours, at least six of which must be completed at Mount Union with none of these six being transient credits. Students may not declare a major program and a minor program within the same discipline. Foreign language majors and minors who take courses in a foreign language as part of a Study Abroad Program in a country where the foreign language being studied is the language of that country may count those courses toward the minimum residency requirement for the major and minor subject to the prior approval of the chairperson of the Department of Foreign Languages and Cultures at the University of Mount Union. The chairpersons review will include a determination of whether or not there is an appropriate distribution of language/culture/literature in the major/minor. To declare a minor, the student must complete a Declaration/Change of Major/Minor/Advisor form; the form must be approved by the students advisor and submitted to the Office of the Registrar. Satisfactory completion of a minor program includes achieving a 2.000 minimum grade point average in the minor.

The Area of Concentration

An area of concentration is a group of courses which together focus on a particular sub-discipline within a given major or on a specific preprofessional program. An area of concentration may be offered by any major, pre-professional program (as defined in this Catalogue) or professional program. Normally, pre-professional programs require specialized post-baccalaureate study and formal certification. Professional programs are those which directly qualify a student to seek formal certification in a given profession without specialized post-baccalaureate study. An area of concentration must be a distinct program of courses which does not duplicate an existing major or minor, although courses which count toward a given major or minor also may count toward an area of concentration. An area of concentration may not be developed within a minor program. To be eligible for inclusion in a students official academic record, an area of concentration within a major must contain a minimum of 12 semester hours at least six of which must be from courses within the department which offers the major. An area of concentration for a pre-professional or professional program must contain at least 15 semester hours and will be administered by the advisor or department chair of the program. An area of concentration meeting the above guidelines and approved by the Academic Policies Committee will be noted on the official academic record of any student who has completed such area of concentration along with the corresponding pre-professional, professional or major program. Approved Areas of Concentration: Astronomy Collaborative Piano Deviance Diversity Family Interpersonal/Organizational Communication Media Studies

Peace Studies Piano Pedagogy Pre-Ministry Public Relations Sociology in Practice Statistics

Note: This list reflects the areas of concentration approved at the time this Catalogue was published; to determine if additional areas of concentration have been approved since then, contact the chairs of the respective departments. Satisfactory completion of a concentration includes achieving a 2.000 minimum grade point average in the concentration. The 2.0 in the concentration will be calculated as all the required courses for the concentration that satisfy the minimum number of hours required for the concentration.

The Role of Electives

The University of Mount Union faculty encourages students to use electives to explore courses outside of their major and minor areas of study.

Senior Culminating Experience

Each department has developed programs through which each of its respective majors can pursue a special activity or project during the senior year. These programs provide a variety of experiences through a senior seminar, an independent study/senior research thesis, a departmental comprehensive oral or written examination or a capstone course. A student must complete a Senior Culminating Experience valued at three or more semester hours in each major he or she pursues even if the student has multiple majors.

26

English Proficiency
Students displaying substandard ability to communicate in writing may be referred by a faculty member to the Department of English and/or to the Writing Center. Failure to achieve a satisfactory level of written expression may, in an extreme case, be the cause for academic suspension or dismissal from the University. Special programs for non-native speaking students are described on pages 37 and 122.

Writing Across the Curriculum

The Writing Across the Curriculum program offers an opportunity for students to refine their writing skills throughout their University career. The program is comprised of two parts: 1) a Writing Center that facilitates one-on-one skill development; and 2) a W course component wherein each student is required to successfully complete nine hours of W credit beyond EH 100 in at least three courses from not less than three different disciplines. Students transferring to Mount Union with 57 or fewer hours completed must successfully complete the full W course component. Students transferring with more than 57 hours will be required to successfully complete six hours of the W course component. To see which courses earn W credit, consult the course listings published annually by the registrar. There are six criteria for W courses: 3,500 words (roughly 15 pages) of writing; an opportunity for revision; devotion of class time to the discussion of writing; 25 percent of the final grade for the course based upon written assignments; ideally, no more than 20 students in a W course; and the successful completion the written portion of the course in order to pass.

Computation of 2.0 in a Major and a Minor

Effective with students entering the University in the 2000 Fall Semester, the 2.0 in the major shall be calculated as the GPA obtained in all the courses required for the major, plus all additional elective courses with the disciplinary prefix of the major. For majors that lack a disciplinary prefix, the 2.0 in the major shall be calculated as the GPA obtained in all the courses required for the major plus all elective courses taken in the home department of the major. For interdisciplinary majors, the 2.0 in the major shall be calculated as the GPA of all courses required and elected for the major, plus all additional elective courses taken with the major interdisciplinary prefix. For self-defined interdisciplinary majors, the 2.0 shall be calculated using all the required and elected courses approved for the major. Courses that do not count for any major will not be included in the calculation of the 2.0. The 2.0 in a minor will be calculated as all the required courses for the minor that satisfy the minimum number of hours required for the minor.

General Education Curriculum

The University of Mount Union offers a liberal arts education grounded in the Judeo-Christian tradition. The University affirms the importance of reason, open inquiry, living faith and individual worth. Mount Unions mission is to prepare students for meaningful work, fulfilling lives, and responsible citizenship. To accomplish this mission, the faculty has established a program to help students obtain a broad base of knowledge in the humanities, arts, and sciences, along with an awareness of discipline-specific methods of inquiry; to think critically and communicate effectively; to gain knowledge and skills in a specific discipline requisite for satisfying careers and/or graduate work and professional studies; to foster an understanding of various cultures and of the interdependence of the global community; to form moral and religious values that encourage them to address complex social problems affecting individuals and communities; and to understand the United States as a dynamic, pluralistic society. The General Education curriculum provides both a framework and a foundation for this educational program as articulated in the University mission statement. General Education at Mount Union is intended to help students enhance their skills in communication, quantitative reasoning, problem solving, and the practice of healthy living while exposing them to a broad knowledge base grounded in the liberal arts tradition. The General Education curriculum prepares students to develop life-long competencies in critical and creative thinking, to construct historically informed frameworks for ongoing intellectual, ethical, and aesthetic growth, and to understand and deal constructively with the diversity of the contemporary world. The General Education curriculum is divided according to three levels intended to provide both a foundation and a context for each students major field(s) of study. Category I, Foundations for Inquiry, consists of a core of courses taken by all Mount Union students. Category II, Contexts for Inquiry, consists of several interdisciplinary groups of courses from which students will select their distribution requirements. Finally, Category III, Contexts for Integration, consists of the Senior Culminating Experience in the students major field(s) of study. An Integrative Experience requirement will be added to the Contexts for Integration component in the future as specified by the faculty. I. Foundations for Inquiry Foundations courses are the intellectual cornerstones of the undergraduate educational experience at Mount Union. Learning experiences in these areas are intended to provide students with an introduction to liberal learning, a sharpening of basic learning skills, and an introduction to the study of values and beliefs. In completing this core, students will be provided with opportunities to investigate what it means to be educated and to develop both a desire for learning and a sense of the value and importance of acquiring knowledge. Foundations courses are designed to achieve the following basic goals: the development of an understanding of the meaning and significance of obtaining a liberal arts education; the development of language and communication skills which provide students with the tools needed to be fully involved in the process of lifelong learning; and the development of a basic understanding of the systematic investigation of religion and human experience. In order to achieve these goals, students will complete coursework in the following areas: A. The Liberal Arts Experience: Study in this area is intended as a basic orientation to the meaning and significance of acquiring a liberal arts education. In completing this requirement, students will learn skills for adapting to University life, enhancing academic performance, and developing an understanding of the diversity and complexity that now surrounds them. Students can satisfy this portion of the foundations core by completing LS 100 (The Liberal Arts Experience). B. Language and Communication Skills: The completion of the courses required in this category ensure the development of the ability to communicate effectively in both written and oral modes and the achievement of proficiency in a second, living language through the beginning level. After completion of the writing and communication courses in this category, students should be able to demonstrate: an understanding of the dynamics of written and oral communication; an understanding of the connection between language and the learning process; an appreciation of various disciplinary approaches to written and oral communication; and an ability to critique their own and others written and oral presentations. After completion of the foreign language proficiency requirement, students should be able to demonstrate foreign language skills equivalent to the completion of a 102-level foreign language course. In order to ensure continued development and refinement of writing skills, students are required to complete courses selected from the Writing Across the Curriculum Program which is designed to expose them to writing experiences in diverse contexts.

27

Students can satisfy the language and communication skills portion of the foundations core by completing the following: one course in written English; one course in oral English communication; (1) bachelor of arts and bachelor of science students must pass the foreign language proficiency test OR a 102-level foreign language course, (2) bachelor of music in performance students must successfully complete six semester hours of foreign language study as part of their professional degree requirements, thus while the foreign language proficiency exam must be taken, passage of the exam will not decrease the requirement to complete six semester hours of foreign language study, and (3) passage of the foreign language proficiency exam or a 102level foreign language course is not required for the bachelor of music education degree as the daily use of foreign language, especially Italian, and the study of music itself as means of communication is so deeply ingrained into the entire gestalt of the Universitys bachelor of music education program so as to meet the learning objectives of this area; and three courses from the Writing Across the Curriculum program in at least three different disciplines (students should have completed at least one W course by the end of the sophomore year). C. Religion and Human Experience: Consistent with the Judeo-Christian tradition at Mount Union, study in this area is intended to develop in students a critical appreciation for the role religion plays in human experience. Completion of this requirement involves an exploration of issues that lie at the core of Mount Unions mission statement which affirms the importance of reason, open inquiry, living faith and individual worth. This course is intended to enable students to become aware of and reflect critically upon their own values and the diversity of values within their own culture as well as the world views of others at other times and in other cultures. Learning experiences in this area represent the establishment of a foundation of knowledge, values, and attitudes which will be built upon as students continue their undergraduate careers. Students can satisfy this portion of the foundations core by completing RE 100 (Religion and Human Experience). II. Contexts for Inquiry In the contexts portion of the curriculum, the primary emphasis shifts from developing essential skills and introducing the conceptual framework of acquiring a liberal arts education to the exploration of issues, questions, ideas and methods of inquiry both within specific disciplines and across disciplinary lines. In completing the contexts requirement, students will be introduced to a wide range of content within five interdisciplinary categories: art and aesthetic perspectives; natural sciences and mathematics; human experience and social perspectives; global and cultural perspectives; and healthy living. A. Art and Aesthetic Perspectives: Study in this area is intended to introduce students to a range of creative expressions and critical perspectives in literature, music, film, theatre, and art, and simultaneously expose them to new perspectives on human experience and ways of knowing. In completing this requirement, students will come to appreciate the diversity and intricacy of creative and critical processes through the study of specific works, building informed and mature methods of evaluation. They will develop and apply their own critical, evaluative and creative processes and will be encouraged to apply them in coursework both within and across traditional disciplinary boundaries. Some study in this area will be interdisciplinary in nature. In satisfying the distribution requirement in this category, students will complete one course in literature, one course in the fine arts, and a third course in either the fine arts or chosen from an approved list of courses with an artistic or aesthetic focus (this list will not include additional literature courses). B. Natural Sciences and Mathematics: Learning experiences in this category will introduce students to key theories and concepts in the natural sciences and mathematics and to the methods of inquiry specific to them. In completing the natural sciences courses in this category, students will develop an understanding of their place in the natural universe. Students will improve their mathematical skills by completing a course that provides them with extensive experience in problem solving and critical thinking. These requirements seek to provide students with the knowledge and tools necessary to better comprehend and function in the natural world. In satisfying the distribution requirement in this category, students will complete three courses from an approved list. For (1) bachelor of music education students, one course will be in mathematics while (2) for bachelor of arts, bachelor of science and bachelor of music in performance students one course will be in mathematics or logic; and (1) for bachelor of arts or bachelor of science students two courses will be in the natural sciences (biology, chemistry, geology or physics) where one of these natural science courses must include a lab and (2) for bachelor of music in performance and bachelor of music education students either one laboratory (4 or 5 semester hours) or one non-laboratory (3 semester hours) course will be in the natural sciences (biology, chemistry, geology or physics). C. Human Experience and Social Perspectives: This category is intended to provide students with the opportunity to study the ways in which a variety of disciplines examine and explain the nature of human experience. This category is divided into three sub-categories: (1) history, (2) religion and philosophy, and (3) social sciences. In satisfying the distribution requirement in this category, (1) bachelor of arts and bachelor of science students will complete one course in history and (2) bachelor of music in performance and bachelor of music education students will complete MU 101, MU 202W and MU 203, and all students will complete one course in religion or philosophy, and two courses in the social sciences (one in economics or political science, and one in psychology or sociology from an approved list). 1. History: By providing an understanding of the past, the study of history encourages the development of the ability to cope with the complexity of the present and, used cautiously, may offer some insight into the possibilities and challenges presented by the future. In completing this requirement, students will develop an understanding of the ways in which human experience has been shaped by the continuous growth and development of political, religious, intellectual, economic and social forces. The study of history heightens the understanding of those forces and their impact on society over time. 2. Religion and Philosophy: The study of religion and philosophy encourages the development of capacities vital to a liberal arts education. Specifically, learning experiences in this area involve the reflective study of values and a critical examination of the students own core beliefs. Courses in these disciplines address contexts of inquiry in the areas of values, knowledge, faith, and meaning. Important to liberal learning is the development of disciplined reflection and active engagement in the process of placing ones core beliefs into a coherent framework that is subject to critical inquiry. Within a context of respectful intellectual engagement, students will learn to evaluate their own as well as opposing viewpoints and to analyze thoughtfully the arguments used to support them. 3. Social Sciences: These courses are intended to introduce students to the basic methods and theories of the social sciences. Developing an understanding of human experience requires that people be studied at multiple levels of analysis and from a variety of perspectives. People develop and function within a context which includes influences residing in the individual as well as within a complex network of social, political and economic forces. The completion of this requirement is intended to enable students to identify the personal and social forces which affect them and to explore the meaning of these forces for human experience. D. Global and Cultural Perspectives: This category is intended to broaden student perspectives by fostering the ability to understand various cultures throughout the world, to grasp the interdependence of the members of the global community, and to demonstrate an understanding of the United States as a pluralistic society. This category is divided into two sub-categories: (1) international sociopolitical and economic studies and (2) cultural studies. In satisfying the distribution requirement in this category, students will complete one course in each sub-category. 1. International Sociopolitical and Economic Studies: Study in this area treats social, political, and economic systems as objects of scholarly inquiry with a particular emphasis upon the interdependence of members of the global community. Courses in this category may include those with a

28

comparative focus. 2. Cultural Studies: Learning experiences in this area involve the exploration of the social, philosophical, religious, artistic and/or cultural traditions of one or more ethnic, national, regional, or cultural groupings. Of particular concern in this area is that the populations under study be treated as subjects of their own experience. E. Healthy Living: These courses are designed to make students aware of what constitutes a healthy lifestyle, help them to establish patterns of behavior which foster healthful living, and acquaint them with various physical activities appropriate for lifelong participation in a regular, individualized fitness program. In satisfying the distribution requirement in this category, students will complete HE 152 (Wellness). III. Contexts for Integration Study in this area requires students to explore the content and methodologies of a variety of academic disciplines with the goal of fostering more intense integrative thinking. Students will be challenged to integrate disciplinary knowledge and to explore the meaning of that information in ways requiring a high level of integrative and analytical skills. The development of integrative thinking will be fostered in two ways: through in-depth investigation within the students major field(s) of study and through engaging in interdisciplinary study. Therefore, the integration component of the General Education curriculum is composed of two requirements: A. The Senior Culminating Experience: All Mount Union students will complete a Senior Culminating Experience as part of the requirements in their chosen major(s). While the specific parameters for this capstone experience are determined by each department, the Senior Culminating Experience is intended to provide students the opportunity to integrate what they have learned in their years of study within the major with their interdisciplinary experiences across the General Education curriculum. B. The Integrative Experience Requirement: The integrative experience requirement is designed to achieve two broad goals associated with the overarching purpose of fostering in students personal freedom in the service of human community: (1) to provide a broad context in which to place students experiences within specific disciplines. In so doing, students will be introduced to complex and multifaceted ideas which, in order to be understood with depth, require taking the perspective of more than one discipline. As they do this work, students are expected to develop the ability to analyze issues in an active and reflective manner; and (2) to demonstrate the ability to draw from multiple disciplinary bases, integrating and synthesizing those perspectives meaningfully. Students will learn to apply methodology and language from various disciplines as they examine common themes, issues, problems, topics or experiences. The focus of this learning experience is on making connections across disciplines illustrating the interrelationships among them. Courses that meet the Integrative Experience Requirement are designated with a Q at the end of the course number.

Academic Record
The history of a students academic career at the University of Mount Union is compiled to create the official academic record; this may take the form of hard copy or computer file format. The academic record contains all information pertinent to the students academic progress: courses enrolled, terms enrolled, grades, academic action (suspension, dismissal, etc.), degrees granted, major and minor programs, concentrations, honors, academic awards, etc. Disciplinary information or actions will never appear on the students academic record. Administrators and faculty with a need to know (advisors, department chairs, etc.) may secure copies of the academic record for use when advising the student; such copies are unofficial advisors copies and may not be replicated for release to a third party.

Transcripts
An official copy of the academic record is called a transcript and bears the signature of the registrar. Only the registrar is authorized to prepare and issue official transcripts. An official transcript must be requested in writing by the student using either the Transcript Request Form, a letter of request, a faxed request or by using SelfService. A transcript may be sent to a third party designated by the student or may be issued directly to the student; in the latter case, the transcript will be marked Official Transcript Issued to Student. If the Office of Business Affairs has placed an academic hold on the students record, no transcript will be issued until the financial obligation to the University has been discharged.

Transfer Credit
A student admitted to the University of Mount Union after having attended another institution of higher education will be classified a transfer student and must provide an official transcript of his or her academic record at all previous institutions. This transcript will be the basis for determining what, if any, transfer credit will be accepted by the University of Mount Union; such determination will be made by the registrar at the time of admission. In order to be eligible for transfer to the University of Mount Union academic record, a transferred course must have been completed at a regionally accredited college or university, must have a grade of C or better and must be in an academic discipline in which courses are offered by Mount Union. Any credit granted at the time of admission is conditional and may be withdrawn if a student is deemed incapable of successfully completing advanced work. Grades for transfer work accepted by the University of Mount Union will not be included when calculating the students Mount Union grade point average. When the Office of the Registrar identifies a student who has been pursuing a degree for more than 10 calendar years, that office will request that the department(s) in which the student is doing his or her major and minor work complete a review of the students record to date. This review would be to determine if any modifications should be considered or implemented in the students program of study toward the major(s) or minor(s). The Academic Policies Committee will be asked to review the students record to determine if any general degree requirements including the General Education Requirements should be updated for this student. Further updates will be required only if recommended by the appropriate departments or the Academic Policies Committee.

Academic Honesty
The University views the moral and ethical education of its students as being equal in importance to their intellectual development. The codes of conduct and ethical habits individuals practice as students are likely to guide them for their entire lives. As a consequence, a significant part of the Universitys mission is to support in its students a belief in the importance of personal honesty and integrity and a strong commitment to high standards in those areas. In all of their academic pursuits, Mount Union students are expected to be responsible members of the academic community. Unless clearly documented with citations indicating otherwise, all academic work is expected to be the students own. Plagiarism and/or any other form of cheating or dishonesty will subject the student involved to sanctions ranging from failure of an assignment to possible suspension or dismissal from the University. Instances to which this standard will be applied include, but are not limited to, the following:

29

A. B.

C. D. E. F. G. H.

Any academic work presented as the students own must be solely the work of that student. Any students work which uses ideas, information, or language from other sources must give appropriate credit to such other sources according to rules for proper source documentation as specified in the handbook used in EH 100 College Writing , or the documentation style required by the discipline as noted by the professor of the class. A student may not knowingly give to or receive from another any unauthorized assistance with examinations, papers and/or other assignments. A student may not submit academic work, or any part of academic work, completed for one course as work for another course without the expressed prior approval of both instructors. A student may not destroy, damage, alter, or unfairly interfere with access to the Universitys educational resources and materials. A student may not knowingly subvert or otherwise interfere with the academic work of another. A student may not falsify or misrepresent research or laboratory data or observations. A student may not violate the authorial integrity of computer software through plagiarism, invasion of privacy, unauthorized access, or trade secret and copyright violations.

Depending upon the severity of the infraction and the circumstances of the situation, cases of academic dishonesty may result in sanctions ranging from failure of an assignment up to and including dismissal from the University. Having determined that an infraction has occurred, an instructor may immediately impose sanctions according to the stated policies of the course syllabus. In addition, any instructor who suspects or has determined that a case of academic dishonesty has occurred will present the evidence to the department chair and then to the Associate Academic Dean, Curriculum and Student Academic Issues, in the Office of Academic Affairs, who may impose additional sanctions as deemed appropriate. A student who wishes to do so may appeal the decision of the instructor by way of a petition to the Academic Policies Committee. Should the Associate Dean feel the evidence of academic dishonesty warrants possible suspension or dismissal, the Associate Dean will convene a hearing committee consisting of two faculty members from the Academic Policies Committee and one student to be appointed by Vice President for Academic Affairs or the Associate Dean. The hearing committee will review the evidence as outlined in the student handbook under Academic Dishonesty Hearing Process, make a determination regarding the students responsibility for the alleged violation, and assign appropriate sanctions, if the student is found responsible. A student who wishes to appeal a decision of the hearing committee may do so by following the process described in the appeals section of the Student Disciplinary Process in the student handbook.

Petitions and Appeals Regarding Non-Disciplinary Academic Matters

Any student with a concern about a non-disciplinary academic matter (for example, the assignment of a grade or the substitution of a course) should attempt to resolve the matter with the instructor, if one is involved, or the department chair. If the matter then remains unresolved, the student may submit a petition to the Academic Policies Committee for review. Petition forms and information are available from the Office of the Registrar. The student may appeal decisions of the Academic Policies Committee to the Vice President for Academic Affairs of the University. The student must submit a written request for an appeal to the Office of Academic Affairs no later than five business days following the notification of the committees decision.

Grades
Each course completed at Mount Union is assessed by the faculty member who will employ the following system of grades and quality point equivalencies: A ... 4.00 B .........3.00 C ........ 2.00 D ....... 1.00 A- .. 3.67 B- .......2.67 C- ...... 1.67 D- ...... 0.67 B+. 3.33 C+ ......2.33 D+ .... 1.33 F ........ 0.00 S AU Satisfactory Satisfactory Audit U UA Unsatisfactory Unsatisfactory Audit

Grading Notations
In addition to grades, certain notations are employed to signify specific conditions: H Honors NG No Grade Submitted I Incomplete P Passed (Transfer Work) IP In Progress W Withdrawn

Grades and/or Grading Notation Definitions

S/U (Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory): Applicable for assignment to sophomores, juniors and seniors who elect to enroll in certain courses on a satisfactory/unsatisfactory grade basis. The S/U option must be declared by the end of the eighth week of the semester. To qualify for this option, a student must satisfy at least one of the following criteria: (1) cumulative average of at least 3.000, (2) an average of at least 3.000 for the two preceding semesters, or (3) a junior or senior with at least a 3.000 cumulative average exclusive of the freshman year. The S/U option may not be used with courses in the major department or with extra-departmental courses required for the major (except for those courses graded on an S/U basis only). The S/U option may not be applied to any course being used to satisfy the liberal arts requirements specified in the Requirements for a Degree section of this Catalogue. The S/U option may be used for courses in a minor department taken beyond those required for the minor. These courses will not include those that apply directly to the minor or those extra-departmental courses required for the minor (except those graded only on an S/U basis). Academic work completed at the C or higher level will be graded S; work completed at the C- level or below will be graded U. The instructor is expected to report a letter grade equivalent (A to F) on the final grade reporting form. S/U grades are not included in a students grade point averages. A student may enroll for only one elected S/U basis course each semester and a maximum of six such S/U courses in a degree program. The Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory option is not available to Mount Union students on Study Abroad unless this is the only manner in which the course is offered by the host university.

30

Restrictions governing the number of courses, the area of concentration or liberal arts requirements as these relate to the S/U option for a specific course may be adjusted via petition for an international student who can demonstrate that he or she is experiencing significant difficulty as a result of language differences. I (Incomplete): Applicable in an instance where a students work is incomplete for the semester. The assignment of an I must be approved by the dean of the University. The dean should be informed of a medical or other emergency as soon as possible. Requests for the assignment of an I for legitimate academic reasons must be submitted by the instructor to the dean of the University prior to the last week of the semester. Incomplete grades must be reconciled by the fifth week of the next regular semester following the one during which the I grade was assigned. It is the students responsibility to arrange for completion of the work. The final grade is due to the registrar during the sixth week of the following semester and may be any grade from A to F. An I grade which has not been reconciled to a final grade by the end of the sixth week of the next regular semester will become an F and included in the calculations of the students cumulative grade point average. IP (In Progress): Applicable grade assigned at the end of the first semester of a two semester extended course. W (Withdrawn): Applicable to students who withdraw from a course after the second week but by Monday of the eleventh week of a semester. Withdrawals processed by the end of the second week are not recorded on the official academic record. Withdrawals processed after the second week but by the first day of the eleventh week will be recorded as a W on the official academic record. A student withdrawing after the first day of the eleventh week of classes for any reason other than medical or non-academic hardship will receive grades of F which will be used in computing the cumulative grade point average. A W is also applicable when a student, with the approval of the dean of the University, withdraws from a course anytime during the semester for a verified medical or other verified non-academic hardship. A W is not calculated in a students grade point average. AU/UA (Satisfactory Audit/Unsatisfactory Audit): The nature and amount of work required of an auditor, as well as the criteria for grading, will be specified by the instructor. Satisfactory completion of this work will result in AU on the academic record. Unsatisfactory completion of this work will result in UA on the academic record. No credit is awarded for an audited course.

Change of Grade
In order to seek consideration of a request for a grade change in any course, a student must submit a petition to the Academic Policies Committee. Unless there are justifiable extenuating circumstances present, a student must submit such a petition prior to the end of the semester following the one during which the original grade was assigned. (See Petitions and Appeals Regarding Academic Matters section on page 30 for more information, or contact the Office of the Registrar.) Prior to a students graduation from Mount Union, when he or she officially changes majors or applies to a graduate or professional school requiring A/F grades for courses originally pursued on an S/U basis, such student may, by petition to the Academic Policies Committee, request that an A/F grade replace the S/U grade on the academic record. The students grade point average will be adjusted accordingly. Once changed from S/U to A/F, a grade cannot be returned to the S/U status.

Repeating Courses
A student may repeat a failed course as often as is necessary in order to pass and receive credit for the course. The course credit hours for each attempt are used in the calculation of the students GPA unless the course was taken as a Repeat for change of grade. With the exception of courses that are expected to be taken multiple times, such as special topic, seminar, or applied music courses--a student may receive credit toward graduation for a course only once. If a student enrolls in a course for which he/she has received credit and repeat for change of grade does not apply, the enrollment will be converted to an audit enrollment.

Repeat for Change of Grade

A student may repeat for change of grade a regularly offered course as many times as necessary or desired subject to the following conditions: A. A student may repeat at Mount Union any regularly offered course taken at the University of Mount Union in an attempt to secure a grade of A through F, however, experimental courses or topical seminars may be repeated for change of grade only if the subject matter is the same. B. Grades for all course attempts will appear on a students official academic record, but only the last attempt will be used in the calculation of the students cumulative grade point average (the grade for the repeated attempt will appear in brackets). C. For purposes of this policy, credit earned for any repeated course will apply only once toward fulfilling degree requirements. D. A student may not enroll for an overload during a semester in which a course is being repeated. Notes: Courses repeated under the audit option will not affect grades for any previous attempt(s). The S/U option may not be used to repeat a course. Due to curricular changes and/or course scheduling, not all courses may be available to repeat for change of grade. A student, without permission of the department chair, may not repeat a course which was a prerequisite for a course subsequently taken. Students are encouraged to repeat a course within 12 months or at the next regular offering. Please note that financial aid regulations prohibit a student from repeating a course that he or she has already passed more than once.

Deans List
A Mount Union undergraduate student is eligible for and shall be placed on the Deans List for a given semester subject to the following conditions. For the semester being considered the student: A. Must complete at least 12 semester credit hours of traditionally graded course work courses graded S (Satisfactory) or taken as a repeated course cannot be included among these 12. B. Must have at least a 3.550 grade point average for all course work attempted. C. Cannot have a course graded below a B (3.000). D. Cannot have a course graded U (unsatisfactory); E. Cannot have a course marked I (incomplete) or IP (in progress), however, when the student completes work of the I or IP graded course(s) he or she may then be eligible to be added to a supplementary Deans List for that semester. F. Courses graded AU (audit) or W (withdrawn) do not disqualify a student who is otherwise eligible for the Deans List.

31

Student Classification
A students rank is dependent on the number of semester hours of credit she/he has completed, the sum of Mount Union credits earned and credit allowed for transfer work completed. A student is classified by rank according to the following. Freshman less than 28 total semester hours completed Sophomore at least 28 and less than 58 total semester hours completed Junior at least 58 and less than 88 total semester hours completed Senior a total of 88 or more semester hours completed Note that credit awarded for approved transient course work taken at another institution is considered to be part of Mount Union credits completed. A student is classified as full or part time according to the following. Full-time enrolled for 12 semester hours or more Part-time enrolled for less than 12 semester hours Overload enrolled for more than 19 semester hours at the University of Mount Union or at Mount Union and as a transient student at another institution

Academic Standing
A students academic standing good academic standing or academic probation is dependent upon his/her cumulative grade point average and the number of semester hours that he or she has attempted (note the rule for transfer students below). For a student to attain and/or maintain good academic standing at the University, the student must: A. Have a 1.600 grade point average or higher if he or she has attempted less than 29 semester hours. B. Have a 1.750 grade point average or higher if he or she has attempted at least 29 semester hours and less than 45 semester hours. C. Have a 1.900 grade point average or higher if he or she has attempted at least 45 semester hours and less than 60 semester hours. D. Have a 2.000 grade point average or higher if he or she has attempted 60 or more semester hours. For transfer students, the figure used for semester hours attempted will be the sum of transfer credits accepted by Mount Union and the credits attempted here at Mount Union. For example, a transfer student who was granted six credits for transfer work and who has attempted 25 credits at Mount Union would have attempted a total of 31 semester hours for the purposes of this policy. Please note that credit hours attempted and grades awarded for approved transient work taken at another institution are considered to be part of Mount Union credits attempted and are included in the calculation of grade point average.

Satisfactory Progress
A student enrolled at Mount Union on a full-time basis is considered to be making satisfactory progress toward satisfying degree requirements if he or she has successful completed at Mount Union a minimum of A. 24 semester hours after two semesters. B. 48 semester hours after four semesters. C. 72 semester hours after six semesters. D. 96 semester hours after eight semesters. E. Or 24 semester hours during the preceding two semesters of enrollment at the University. In addition, a students performance must represent a pattern that does not jeopardize the chances of satisfactorily completing degree requirements within approximately 120 semester hours. Credit awarded for transfer work accepted by the University is not included in the hours used to determine satisfactory progress under this policy. Credit awarded for approved transient course work taken at another institution is considered to be part of Mount Union credits. Please note that making Satisfactory Progress Toward Degree does not necessarily ensure that the student is making Satisfactory Academic Progress for the purposes of financial aid eligibility. See pages 9-11 for the requirements for financial aid eligibility.

Intercollegiate Athletics Eligibility

To be eligible for participation in the Universitys intercollegiate athletic program during the traditional season, a student must be enrolled full-time for the semesters of participation, must be in good academic standing and be making satisfactory progress toward a degree. To be eligible for participation in the Universitys intercollegiate athletic program during the non-traditional season, a student must be enrolled full-time for the semesters of participation. These requirements are in accordance with National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) guidelines.

Academic Review
At the end of each semester, the record of every student is reviewed to determine whether he or she is in good academic standing or on academic probation. Each student determined to be on academic probation will be reviewed by the Probation and Suspension Committee. The voting membership of the Committee consists of two faculty members from the Academic Policies Committee and the Associate Dean of the University (or his or her designee). Several administrators representing Academic Affairs, Enrollment Services, and Student Affairs provide support for the Committee. After reviewing a students record, the Committee may suspend (or dismiss) a student. Alternatively, the Committee may allow the student to continue enrollment, with or without conditions. Such conditions may include mandating periodic meetings with the Director of the Academic Support Center, requiring a reduced course load, requiring a grade objective for a specified semester, or other conditions that may be appropriate for a particular student. Regardless of conditions for continued enrollment (if any), a student who is not in good academic standing is considered to be on academic probation, and may be required to limit participation in extracurricular activities, and may incur financial aid restrictions as described on pages 9-11.

Suspension in Enrollment
Suspension in enrollment is the involuntary separation of a student from the University for a specified period of time. At the end of such period, the student is usually eligible to apply for readmission; procedures for readmission application are listed in Readmission after Suspension. A student is subject to suspension from the University if he or she A. Has a cumulative grade point average below that required for good academic standing. B. Is already on academic probation and fails to show progress toward achieving good academic standing.

32

Has an exceptionally poor record of achievement for any semester. Fails to show satisfactory progress toward meeting the requirements for a degree. Is determined to have violated academic honesty policies (see page 29). Becomes subject to disciplinary procedures; in cases where a disciplinary action is deemed to be egregious, immediate involuntary separation may be recommended by either the dean of the University or the dean of students. Note: There may be occasions in which a student is on Financial Aid Suspension, but remains eligible to take classes at the University. This is not considered to be suspension in enrollment. See pages 10 for details on Financial Aid Suspension. Note: A suspension based on unsatisfactory academic performance will be considered an academic suspension and will be noted accordingly on the students official academic record; a suspension based on unsatisfactory conduct and/or ethics will be considered a disciplinary suspension but will not be noted on the official academic record.

C. D. E. F.

Dismissal
Dismissal is the involuntary and usually permanent separation of a student from the University; a dismissed student is ineligible to apply for readmission. A student is subject to dismissal from the University if he or she A. Has been suspended for academic reasons on two or more occasions. B. Would normally be subject to suspension but the circumstances involved are considered, by either the dean of the University or the dean of students, to be egregious; in cases of such seriousness, immediate dismissal may be recommended. Note: A dismissal based on unsatisfactory academic performance will be considered an academic dismissal and will be noted accordingly on the students official academic record; a dismissal based on unsatisfactory conduct and/or ethics will be considered a disciplinary dismissal but will not be noted on the official academic record.

Appealing Academic Suspensions or Dismissals

A student may appeal a suspension or dismissal decision by submitting a written letter of appeal to the Office of Academic Affairs. Students are advised to obtain letters of support from faculty members or advisors. The Associate Academic Dean will convene a meeting of the Appeals Committee approximately two weeks after the original meeting. The Appeals Committee will consist of three voting members: two faculty members from the Academic Policies Committee who were not on the initial Probation and Suspension Committee, and a student from the Academic Policies Committee or a student recommended by the Office of Academic Affairs or the Office of Student Affairs. The Associate Academic Dean will notify students who submit an appeal of the decision made by the Appeals Committee. A student may request that the dean of the University reconsider a suspension or dismissal decision of the Appeals Committee only when additional pertinent information becomes available. The dean of the University makes a decision and notifies the student in writing. No additional appeals are allowed.

Readmission after Suspension

A student suspended from the University for academic reasons is eligible to apply for readmission after a hiatus of at least one semester not including the summer terms. Thus, a student suspended at the end of the spring semester will be eligible to be considered for readmission after the following fall semester. Applications for readmission after suspension must be submitted to the registrar and will be reviewed by the Associate Academic Dean, the Dean of Students, and the Registrar. A student who attends another college or university after being suspended from Mount Union must submit an official transcript from that school before the application for readmission will be considered. Students returning to the University of Mount Union from academic suspension are limited to a maximum load of 16 semester hours.

Registration and Enrollment

Faculty Advisors
Academic advising constitutes a key element in the educational plan of Mount Union. At the time of admission to the University, each student is assigned to a faculty member who serves both as the instructor, or mentor, for the students LS 100 class and as his or her initial academic advisor. When a student declares a major, the chair of the major department will assign a faculty member in the department to serve as academic advisor to the student. In addition to this assigned faculty advisor, other members of the University faculty and administration are available to assist students with academic and personal problems.

Registration
For currently enrolled students, each semester during the academic year, all students except graduating seniors will confer with their respective advisors, plan and select a schedule of approved classes for the following semester and then complete registration for the next semester at the appropriate times published by the Office of the Registrar. Scheduling may be done using web registration or by paper form. First time students entering in the fall semester will register during the preceding summer. New students entering in the spring semester will register during the break between the fall and spring semesters. All continuing and new students are expected to be registered and have paid their fees or have satisfactory financial arrangements made prior to the start of each semester. Those who are unable to register until the first week of classes may do so on Self Service (if authorized by their advisor) or with a form signed by their advisors. Students registering during the second week of the semester must have the permission of their advisor and of the department chair and faculty member of each class for which they are registering. No late registrations are permitted after the second week of the semester. A late registration fee of $50 is levied for registration during the second week of classes. The late fee must be paid to the Office of Business Affairs prior to registration.

Prerequisites
Many courses have prerequisites, and these may range from class standing to a series of specific courses. Course prerequisites are noted for each course in the departments Course of Instruction section located near the back of this Catalogue. It is the students responsibility to make certain that he or she has met all prerequisites prior to registration for a course. A student will not be permitted to remain in a course for which the prerequisite has

33

not been satisfied.

Enrollment Priorities
As with all institutions, the University cannot offer enough sections of all classes to ensure that all students can enroll in all the courses they wish each semester. For this reason enrollment in some courses is limited to students who must have the course for their major or minor. Ineligible students who enroll in such courses will be withdrawn by the Office of the Registrar. Often, when those needs have been met, any eligible student may enroll in the course, however students not needing the class to meet major or minor requirements may be denied enrollment throughout the entire registration process.

Class Limits
Class limits are established by each department; when this limit is reached during the registration process, the class is considered closed. Written approval by the chair [or his/her designate] of the department in which the course resides is required to be registered in a closed class.

Course Load and Overload

With the approval of his or her advisor, a student may register for an academic credit load up to and including 19 semester hours. A load ranging from 12 to 19 credit hours is considered full-time and is assessed fees accordingly. An academic load in excess of 19 credits is considered an overload and therefore requires the approval of the Associate Academic Dean of the University and is subject to an additional fee for which financial aid is not applicable. Students attending another institution as a transient student at the same time that they are registered for courses at the University of Mount Union are subject to the same limitations on overload. The determination of whether or not the student has an overload will be based on the sum of the hours taken at Mount Union and the other institution. Students attending other institutions in the summer are subject to the same credit hour limitations that would apply at the University of Mount Union. Any course load above that limit normally nine semester hours would require approval by the dean of the University. Sophomores, juniors and seniors become eligible to register for an overload by satisfying any of the following: A. Have a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.000. B. Have a grade point average of at least 3.000 for the preceding two semesters. C. Be a junior or senior with a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.000 exclusive of the freshman year.

Schedule Changes
During the fall and spring semesters a schedule change period occurs during the first week of classes. Students may change their schedule by adding (subject to availability) or dropping classes on Self Service or by use of a schedule change form. During the second week of classes schedule changes may be made only with the permission of the faculty member and department chair of each class being added and the faculty member of each class being dropped. Changes during this week and for the remainder of the semester must be completed on a paper form. Enrollment is not permitted after the second week of the semester. A late registration fee of $50 is levied for courses added in the second week of classes, which must be paid to the Office of Business Affairs prior to registration. Withdrawals from classes processed by Friday of the second week of the semester will not appear on a students official academic record. From the third week through the first day of the eleventh week of the semester, students withdrawing from one or more classes must obtain their grade at that time, W, and a signature from the instructor on a schedule change form. The schedule change form should be taken to the Office of the Registrar. The date that the schedule change form is received and processed by the Office of the Registrar will be the official withdrawal date from the class or classes being dropped. With the approval of the dean of the University, a student may withdraw anytime for verified medical or other non-academic hardship; such withdrawal will be recorded on the students official academic record as W. Any student intending to withdraw for non-academic reasons should contact the dean of students for assistance. Withdrawals, other than those for medical or non-academic hardship, processed after the first day of the eleventh week of the semester will be recorded on the students official academic record as F and this grade will be used in computing the grade point average. Designations of W are not used in computing a students grade point average.

Admission to Class
No student is permitted to attend any class section unless he or she is officially registered for that class section. A student is considered registered only if his or her name appears on the official class list, or he or she presents a computer-prepared personal schedule reflecting the specific class. A student will receive neither credit nor a grade in a course for which he or she was not officially enrolled.

Auditor
Subject to space availability and permission of the instructor, a student may enroll in any class as an auditor. Deadlines and procedures for enrolling as an auditor are the same as for credit registration; however, the registration form must be noted appropriately to designate audit. After the third week of a semester, a student may not change from audit to credit or from credit to audit. The fee for auditing a class is one-half the per-semester hour rate assessed for credit courses. Private music lessons are not available for audit.

Attendance Discrepancies at the Start of the Semester

During the second week of the semester, faculty are asked by the registrar to report any students not attending class who are on the class list and any students who are attending but are not on the class list. 1. Any students who are notified that they are on a class list but are not attending the class must either immediately start attending the class, or they must withdraw from the class. 2. Any student attending a class who is notified that he/she is not on the class list must immediately register and meet any financial obligations for that course, or the student will not be permitted to attend the class.

34

Class Attendance and Participation

Since there has been significant mutual commitment, by both students and faculty, to the academic process at Mount Union, it is expected that each student will attend and participate during all class and laboratory sessions for which he or she is registered. A student who must be absent from a class for any reason should contact the faculty member prior to the absence if possible or, in the case of an emergency, as soon as possible thereafter in order to make arrangements to secure and/or make up missed assignments. Repeated absence can and probably will affect a students final grade and, if not excused by the instructor, may subject the student to possible suspension or dismissal from the University. Students who stop attending a class and fail to formally withdraw will receive an F grade for the course. A student who is required to miss class for health reasons is required to contact the Health Center for either treatment, release or referral. The medical staff will determine the seriousness of health problems and inform the dean of students when absence is legitimate; however, in all cases, the student is responsible to notify the faculty member and make up missed class work. In cases of prolonged illness or off-campus emergency, the student must notify the dean of students who will verify the circumstances and issue excuses when warranted. Field trips and other academic off-campus activities, organized and supervised by faculty to support regular course work, are encouraged within the limits of reasonable time spent away from campus. A student may not be required to participate in a field trip which will necessitate missing other scheduled classes. A student who participates in a University-sponsored field trip does so voluntarily and is responsible to arrange for make-up for any class missed as a result of field trip participation. Plans for a field trip which will necessitate participating students being absent from other classes must be cleared with the dean of the University prior to such event. Organized student activities and intercollegiate athletics may, as a consequence of external scheduling exigencies, interfere with regularly scheduled classes. It is expected that a participant in these activities will confer with his or her advisor and carefully evaluate course requirements when registering for classes each semester; conflicts of time and course work load may be cause for alternate course selection. Coaches and activity advisors are expected to explain activity schedules carefully and as early as possible; however, the student is responsible for arranging to miss classes and making up all work. In the event of a conflict between two field trips or extracurricular activities, the student reserves the right to choose, without penalty imposed by either activity director, which activity he or she wishes to pursue. Because absence detracts in different degrees from various learning and class participation expectations, only the course instructor or the dean of the University may excuse a student from class. However, to avoid confusion, each individual instructor is expected to establish and explain in writing his or her attendance policy for each class at the beginning of each semester; such attendance policy should be coordinated with the class schedule/syllabus, the campus calendar and institutional priorities. Attendance conflicts will be resolved by the dean of the University who may confer with all parties involved. Absences resulting from bona fide emergencies, if verified, may be excused by the dean of the University, and work missed may be made up. Prolonged absence for any reason may result in withdrawal, a grade of I (incomplete), or F (failure) depending on the nature of the course work missed and the circumstances of the absence.

Final Examinations
Final examinations will be conducted at the conclusion of each academic term during the period designated in the academic calendar. A final examination schedule, specifying days and times for courses, will be established and published each semester by the registrar. All final examinations must be conducted according to the schedule. A student may not take an examination at other than the designated time without petitioning and being granted permission to do so by the Academic Policies Committee, or, in case of emergency, the dean of the University. In addition to petitioning for personal reasons, a student scheduled for three consecutive examinations in a 24-hour period may petition for a change of time of one of the three examinations. No petitions requesting examination time changes will be accepted after the twelfth week of a semester. If he or she cannot be present for an examination, it is the students responsibility to advise the faculty member. Unless extenuating circumstances exist, a grade of F will be assigned for any missed examination. Cases involving extenuating circumstances must be reviewed by the dean of the University, the department chairman and the faculty member and usually will result in the assignment of a grade of I (incomplete).

Readmission for Students Returning After a Break in Enrollment

A Mount Union student whose attendance at the University is interrupted, either by suspension or by withdrawal for any reason, must apply for readmission with the Office of the Registrar and be approved for readmission by the dean of the University in order to resume academic work at Mount Union. An extended absence may result in reassessment and/or adjustment of degree requirements. A student who has attended any other institutions since leaving Mount Union will have to submit transcripts from each school attended before being considered for readmission. Attending another institution as a transient student or as part of a Study Abroad program is not considered a break in enrollment.

Special Educational Opportunities

First Year Experience
The reason for Mount Unions existence is the students and the Universitys mission statement mirrors that sentiment. Consistent with the Universitys mission, the First Year Experience (FYE) seeks to challenge and support students during their first year of University to encourage academic excellence, holistic personal development and a commitment to the Mount Union community. The FYE is an exciting, innovative program for first-year students interested in exploring the connections between learning and living between what happens inside the classroom and the world that exists outside. Mount Union may eventually offer this program to all students, but during this pilot period, the FYE will bring together a select number of students, a group of distinguished professors from a variety of disciplines, upperclass students who serve as FYE advocates and personnel from the Office of Student Affairs who provide programming and support. The FYE is a University-wide initiative that offers a variety of program and services designed for first-year students academic support services, opportunities for faculty interaction outside the classroom and involvement with the University community in the pivotal first year of college.

Honors Program
The Honors Programs provide academic flexibility and challenge for the superior student who desires to move at a faster pace, work more in depth or work more independently than would be usual in a regular course. The aim is to encourage intellectual curiosity, initiative, creativity and a high standard of performance.

35

Two Honors programs are available including University Honors and Honors in the Major. A qualified student may participate in any program and may discontinue honors study without penalty. Students beginning in University Honors and electing to discontinue honors study will be advised on a case by case basis. The Subcommittee on Advanced Placement and Honors serves as the agency for matters of policy, for coordination of the Honors Program, for overseeing standards and for carrying on a continuing evaluation of the program. The Honors Review Board considers proposals for honors projects and theses in the Honors in the Major program. For more information about these programs, consult the Honors Handbook or webpage. Cases of academic dishonesty may result in the student forfeiting any honors designation.

University Honors
University Honors will encompass the Honors General Education Curriculum and Honors in the Major. Eligibility is limited to students with an ACT score of at least 27 or SAT-1 score of at least 1220 and either a minimum grade point average of 3.5 or a high school rank in the top 15 percent of their class, or permission of the Honors Review Board. University Honors scholars are expected to maintain an overall minimum grade point average of 3.50 and will need to earn a B+ or higher in all Honors courses to remain in good standing. The instructor will record the final grade with the prefix H so that the honors work appears on the official transcript.

Scholars will demonstrate mastery of the university learning objectives and proficiencies. Special recognition will be given on graduation day for students who earn University Honors, which also includes recognition of Honors in the Major.

Honors Course Descriptions

HON 110 First Year Honors Seminar. This seminar will emphasize academic skills, such as critical reading and writing and active discussion, while stimulating intellectual curiosity and inquiry-based learning. The content of the seminar will vary with professor and will be announced in advance. This is the first in a series of University Honors programs, which are more rigorous and challenging than the typical first-year seminar. A grade of B+ or above is necessary to earn University Honors credit. Open only to University Honors scholars. 4 Sem. Hrs. HON 150 Sustainability and the Environment. This course examines the way in which knowledge is acquired, analyzed and integrated in and across disciplines by focusing on issues tied to sustainability and the environment including, but not limited to science and technology, human health, ethics, policy, economics, ecosystems and community. This course will be taught by guest lecturers, case studies, inquiry- and problem-based learning and active discussion. Students must earn a B+ or better to earn honors credit and remain in good standing in the University Honors Program. 4 Sem. Hrs.

Honors in the Major

The Honors in the Major Program offers the opportunity for intensive, individual study in an area of concentration. Honors in the Major credit is earned by completing a honors project in a regular course. Although the nature of the honors work will vary, it should involve intellectual creativity and may take such forms as research, investigation, or artistic effort. The student initiates and plans the honors project and works closely with one or more faculty members in carrying it out. At the conclusion of the study, superior accomplishment should be demonstrated in some appropriate way. The honors project is done in addition to the normal course assignments and does not directly affect the course grade. Students are eligible to enter the Honors in the Major Program if they have at least a 3.50 grade point average, or permission of the Honors Review Board. Students must formally declare their intention to participate in the Honors in the Major Program no later than the first semester of their junior year by submitting an application to pursue Honors in the Major along with 1-2 letters of recommendation from University of Mount Union Faculty. For permission to attempt an honors project in a regular course, the student must submit a complete Honors Application by the end of the third week of classes of the semester in which the course is taken. The approval of the instructor, advisor, department chair, and the Honors Review Board is required. To receive honors credit for the course, the student must earn a final grade of at least B+ in the course, and a grade of at least B+ for the honors project. The instructor will record the final grade with the prefix H so that the honors work appears on the official transcript. Because of the significantly higher expectations of honors work, students are limited to a total of two honors courses per semester. For graduation with Honors in the Major, a student must have at least a 3.50 grade point average at graduation and honors credit in at least three courses in the major that total at least 12 semester hours. Only one course may be numbered at the 200 level, additional courses must be numbered at the 300 or 400 level and may be further specified by the department. One of the courses may be an Honors Thesis (All-University course 494). This is an honors independent study course in the major consisting of three to six semester hours, open to juniors and seniors. For permission to register for an honors thesis, the student must submit a completed Honors Application by the end of the twelfth week of classes of the semester prior to doing the thesis. Students who, in the opinion of the department chair and the Honors Review Board, have met these requirements will be graduated with Honors in __________, the major being specified in which credit for honors work is earned. Special recognition will be given on graduation day for students who earn Honors in the Major.

Independent Study
Independent studies provide a student with the opportunity for intensive effort in a specific area of study not normally offered by a department. A student who undertakes an independent study should express a willingness to go beyond standard course offerings into an area of special interest to that student. Therefore, the independent study does not duplicate a course regularly offered by a department or contained in a departments list of courses listed elsewhere in this Catalogue.

English as a Second Language Program

Mount Union offers courses targeted to improve oral and written English language skills. English as a Second Language courses are available to any non-native speaker of English through the Department of Foreign Languages and Cultures. These courses may be required for those students who need to improve their English language proficiency in order to meet the demands of academic work at the University. In addition, international students are encouraged to select from English as a Second Language courses in content areas, such as literature or film, which are designed to promote fluency with American culture and facilitate cultural adjustment. For further information, students may contact the director of the English as a Second Language Program in the Department of Foreign Languages and Cultures.

Latin Honors
The following awards are made for superior work. Latin honors are based on Mount Union Grade Point Average (GPA), which includes study abroad coursework and transient, not transfer, credit as approved by Mount Union. Undergraduate students must have earned at least 60 hours from the University to be eligible for Latin Honors at graduation. A. Cum laude grade point averages in the range 3.550 through 3.749. B. Magna cum laude grade point averages in the range 3.750 through 3.899. C. Summa cum laude grade point averages in the range above 3.899.

Off-Campus Study
The University participates in several cooperative programs with other institutions for study in the United States and abroad. Overseas study also is conducted under Mount Union auspices. Typical programs are described below. Internships The internship program offers students academic courses designed to provide practical field experience in the major area of concentration. These

37

courses are designed and implemented under the immediate and continuing supervision of a faculty member who, with the student and site supervisor (usually a service or commercial institution manager), will determine learning objectives, background reading, particular experiences in the field and patterns of evaluation of the learning accrued. The amount of credit awarded for a particular internship is determined by the students major department. In some cases, regular courses also may be taken concurrently. Students enrolled in an internship pay normal tuition and fee charges to the University. All internships are graded S/U. Generally, internships are offered primarily to seniors, but arrangements vary according to departmental programs. International Education Study abroad is a vital component of the international education experience of Mount Union students. Such study in a foreign country can be an extraordinary educational and personal experience. Those Mount Union students who undertake such study are directly exposed to new cultural experiences, which, in turn, open up fresh perspectives on international, political, economic, and social issues, as well as interpersonal relationships, and, perhaps, career choices. The director of the Office of International Programs, the registrar, and the chair of the Subcommittee on International Education can help interested students plan and implement comprehensive educational opportunities which will blend the students academic-career interests with the overall objectives of Mount Union. In recent years the University has encouraged student overseas study in Germany, France, Spain, Mexico, Japan, Australia, England, Costa Rica, Russia and Italy. In all instances, Mount Union students are directed to highly selective foreign study programs. Some of these are conducted totally in English; others require varying degrees of fluency in the language of the host country and institution. Appropriate course credits earned overseas transfer to the Mount Union transcript. A minimum G.P.A. of 2.5 is required for participation in most of Mount Unions study abroad programs. Certain programs require a minimum of 3.00 and others a 3.33. In a limited fashion, the financial aid a student receives from Mount Union may transfer elsewhere and be used to meet the costs of study abroad. The University does this to make overseas study both feasible and attractive, as well as to give deeper meaning to its commitment to international education. Study at Other Accredited Colleges and Universities as a Transient Student Regular students in good standing at Mount Union may register in other accredited Universities as transient students during either semester of the academic year or for a summer session. All programs for transient students must be approved by the registrar and are subject to the rules and regulations applicable to work done at Mount Union. A Mount Union student seeking to enroll as a transient at another regionally accredited institution in order to earn degree-applicable credit to his or her Mount Union academic program must obtain written approval to do so from the students advisor and the Office of the Registrar prior to enrollment at the institution. Such approval will include determination of transfer credit equivalency. Departmental approval of transient courses is required if course work is being pursued to satisfy major or minor requirements or if course work is within the last 30 hours before graduation. Approval must be obtained for each semester or session of transient attendance at another institution. Grades earned for course work pursued as a transient student at another institution will be included when the Mount Union students grade point average is calculated. The University of Mount Union approval to take transient work does not guarantee that the student will be admitted to take course work by the other college or university. Advanced Placement Mount Union encourages the taking of advanced placement courses. In some cases, the University may award credit. In other cases, the University may waive certain prerequisites or University requirements. Factors considered in granting advanced placement include high school records, scores on University Board Examinations or similar tests, scores and school reports on University Board Advanced Placement program, CLEP examinations, and tests devised and administered by departments within the University. Students who have completed regular accredited University courses while in high school may, by having a copy of their transcript sent from that University, be awarded credit, according to University policy. General conditions of transferring credit also apply here. These courses may not be included as part of the units required for high school graduation unless they are taken under the auspice of the Post Secondary Enrollment Option. Further information on the Advanced Placement Program may be obtained from the Office of Admission. Entering students are required to take certain tests at the time of entrance to the University and are encouraged to take placement tests in applicable areas in order that they may begin course work at the proper level. Postsecondary Attendance While attending as a postsecondary student, each high school student attending Mount Union will receive grades and have a grade point average just like any other student attending the University. However, if the postsecondary student later becomes a regular matriculant at the University of Mount Union, the following guidelines shall apply to credit and grades earned as a postsecondary student. Credit earned will count toward graduation as long as that same credit would count if it had been taken by a traditional Mount Union undergraduate. Credits earned will be classified as hours completed and not as hours attempted. If the student completes a course with an F or a U, the credits for the course will not be included in either hours completed or hours attempted. Grades earned in courses successfully completed will not be used in any calculation of the students grade point average (GPA).

Senior Citizen Enrollment

Any person 60 years of age or older may, subject to permission of the instructor and space availability, attend any class offered by Mount Union. Such attendance will be on a non-credit basis, and no certification of attendance will be available. A technology fee will be charged. Detailed information about this program is available in the Office of the Registrar.

Summer Study
Since 1870 Mount Union has offered a summer term each year. A broad cross-section of courses is offered, taught by members of the University faculty. Three summer sessions are available: Session I: an intensive three-week session Session II: an eight-week session with most classes held in the evening Session III: a six-week session which overlaps with the eight-week term

38

The summer school serves a two-fold purpose. It allows students an opportunity to accelerate their progress toward graduation. It also offers opportunities for persons with specific interests to attend the University for shorter periods of time. During the summer terms, the classes are longer and meet more frequently than during a regular term. The evening classes typically meet two nights a week and day classes may be held every day. During a three-week session, students are permitted to enroll in only one class. Several classes may be selected during the longer sessions. Specific information concerning the summer school schedule and tuition may be obtained from the Office of the Registrar.

Special Lectureships
Convocations: During the regular academic sessions, the University conducts Convocations on selected Tuesdays and Thursdays. The goal of Convocations is to provide additional opportunities for enrichment and growth through contact with a variety of speakers, performers, artists and forums. They are both externally and internally generated programs whose purpose is to encourage dialogue, debate, and discussion with students, faculty, staff and the larger global community. Additionally, students often have the experience of meeting with speakers in class or personal conferences. The Carr Lecture: The Joseph M. Carr Lectureship was established at Mount Union in 1916 by the Carr family in memory of the Reverend Joseph M. Carr, D.D., a close associate of President Hartshorn in the early days of the University of Mount Union. The condition under which the lectureship was given states that the lecture shall always be upon the subject, The Mission of the Christian University to the World. The Dewald Honors Dinner: The Dewald Honors Dinner is made possible by Dr. Donald W. and Mrs. Eleanore (Iman 38) Dewald of Mansfield, Ohio. The Dewalds have believed that academic achievement should be publicly recognized. This event applauds the quality of student effort and encourages the pursuit of academic excellence at the University of Mount Union. The purpose of the dinner is to recognize freshman honor scholars, upperclassmen who earned Deans List recognition during the academic year and students participating in the Honors Program. The Eckler Lecture: The Eric A. and Mary W. Eckler Lecture in Literature and Drama was established through an endowment given by Mr. John A. and Mrs. Dorothy (Nelson 29) Cummins in appreciation of the Ecklers years of service to the community and Mount Union. The income shall be used annually to bring a person(s) to the campus for one or more programs in literature or drama. Residents of Alliance and surrounding areas shall be invited to participate in the public programs. The Faculty Lecture: Each year a member of the faculty is selected to give a special lecture relating interesting and important developments in his or her own field or exploring matters of general concern to the faculty. These lectures are open to the public. The Heffern Lecture. The Gordon Heffern Business Ethics Lecture was established by Mount Union Trustee Gordon E. Heffern to encourage dialogue about the practical ways in which spirituality can transform the workplace. Heffern, a graduate of the University of Virginia, served as chairman of the board of Society Corporation before retiring in 1987. The Judd Lecture: Through a contribution by the Alliance First National City Bank to Mount Union, the George H. Judd Lecture on Business and Finance was established in 1958. This lectureship was established in honor of Mr. Judds 54-year connection with the Alliance First National Bank and his service as a member of the Board of Directors of that bank. The Kershaw Lecture: The Myrtie Allen Kershaw Lectureship on Poetry and the Fine Arts was established in 1960 by a bequest from Myrtie Allen Kershaw of Kent, OH, who indicated in her will that such a fund should go to a University chosen by her friend and executrix of her estate, Elizabeth Clark Bell. Because of Mrs. Bells personal interest in Mount Union, where she was a student in 1932-33 and where her uncle, Robert E. Stauffer, was a teacher and librarian for many years, she designated Mount Union to receive the fund. The income is used to bring periodically to the University a person of distinction, for one or more lectures on ancient or modern poetry, the fine arts, or music or for an original performance in one of these fields. The Schooler Lecture Series: The Schooler Lecture Series was established in 1988 through a grant made by the Schooler Family Foundation of Coshocton, Ohio. Through their gift, the University is able to provide a dramatically enhanced opportunity for young men and women studying at Mount Union and for residents in the greater Alliance area to experience the breadth and depth of American culture. Speakers have included former U.S. President Gerald Ford; former U.S. Surgeon General C. Everett Koop; the late Astronomer Carl Sagan; former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger; and U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day OConnor. The Slater Lecture: The Thelma Tournay Slater Classics Lecture is made possible through a gift of Mrs. Thelma E. (Tournay 42) Slater. Mrs. Slaters lifelong passion for the classics began at Mount Union. The gift supports student enrichment through an increased appreciation of the civilization and cultural achievements of ancient Greek and Rome that stand at the core of a liberal arts education. The Smith Lecture: The C. Richard Smith Lectureship in Business was established by C. Richard Smith, a 1953 graduate of Mount Union. The purpose of this lectureship is to bring business professionals to campus to share their knowledge and experience with business students, faculty and others from the campus and local community.

Courses for General Education

At the University of Mount Union, the general education courses provide students with the broad base of knowledge necessary for a bachelors degree in the liberal arts tradition. The term liberal arts comes from the Latin phrase artes liberales, which can be translated as the education suitable for a free person. Each spring, the Office of Registration publishes a list of courses which qualify for the General Education Requirements for all degrees. During the year in which a course is completed, a student may count that course toward a General Education Requirement if it is on the registrars list of qualifying courses for that year. Courses that do not appear on the registrars list during the year of completion cannot be used to fulfill General Education Requirements. The following is the list for this academic year.

General Course Information

Course Descriptions
Descriptions of the courses in the departmental curricula are detailed on the following pages. Each course is identified by a two-letter discipline code and a three-digit number followed by the course title. The suffix E following a course number indicates an extended course of more than one semester in length. The suffix W following a course number indicates it meets a Writing Across the Curriculum requirement. The suffix Q following a course number indicates it meets the Integrative Experience requirement. The semester hours of credit given for satisfactory completion of the course follows the course description. Some courses are offered more frequently than others. The current Schedule of Classes should be consulted in order to determine when the courses are taught.

Identification of General Education Courses

The University of Mount Union has approved a new set of General Education Requirements that apply to all students starting with those entering in the 2000 Fall Semester. These requirements may be found starting at page 42. To further aid students in identifying which courses may meet a General Education Requirement, a code to identify the requirement has been added where appropriate at the end of the course description, e.g., {GenEd. II, D, 2}. The code in the example would mean that the course would meet a II Contexts for Inquiry, D Global and Cultural Perspectives, 2 A course in cultural studies.

Extended Courses
An extended course is a course scheduled to require two consecutive semesters to complete. Students must be registered for part of the total E course credit in each of the two semesters. An IP (in progress) will be assigned to the transcript at the end of the first semester. At the completion of the course an appropriate single letter grade will be assigned for the entire course, thus replacing the interim IP. Deadlines for special options (dropping the course, conversion to S/U, etc.) are extended until the drop/add period of the second semester in which the course is active.

Service-Learning Courses
Service-learning is a method of teaching and learning that involves using the information and ideas learned in class in community service experiences outside the classroom. Many classes at Mount Union require service-learning projects. Assistance for faculty and students can be provided by the director.

American Studies
The goal of the American studies major and minor is to give the student an appreciation of our civilization as a vital culture with its own traditions, customs, values, ideals, ethics and myths and an understanding of its relationship to other civilizations. As an interdepartmental major, American studies is designed to encourage the student to combine the basic methods and perspectives of several traditional scholarly disciplines so as not to isolate the American experience but rather to demonstrate its rich heritage. The program is not designed to supplant normal departmental work but to supplement it. The philosophy under-girding the concept of the major is that a liberally educated person must be able to comprehend his/her own heritage with discernment and understanding. (Students who plan to become teachers may find an American studies major or minor of particular use.)

Department of Art
The Department of Art is committed to the following goals: 1) To provide a sound technical, theoretical, and historical foundation for the student majoring in art; 2) To provide an environment in which the student can function as an independent, creative individual; 3) To serve the student body of a liberal arts institution. A major in art will provide an excellent basis for further study, leading to a career in fine or applied art or for an advanced degree leading to teaching. The department has initiated a program which meets the requirements for a multiage teaching license. The art major is a two-stage program involving the freshman-sophomore foundation courses and junior-senior advanced study. The foundation courses deal with the fundamental theory and studio skills which provide the broad base from which any artist functions. In the junior-senior advanced studio courses, the student uses the theory and skills learned in the foundation sequence to develop a personal creative approach which can function both as a method of inquiry and as a vocabulary for the communication of humanistic ideas. A thorough general study of the history of art is offered as an important part of the art major.

Asian Studies
Administered by the Department of History, an interdisciplinary major is offered, the program draws primarily from the humanities, social sciences and the arts. The major is intended for those students who are not attracted to any single discipline in the curriculum and who would prefer an interdisciplinary approach. Students for whom the bachelor of arts degree will be the terminal degree may find the civilizations of the Eastern world a most broadening experience, especially since they concern the two-thirds of mankind that currently comprises the world of the developing nations. The philosophy behind the major is that liberal education requires knowledge of the entire world and not merely of the Western tradition. Such a program is intended, also, to deepen the understanding of our own culture by showing where we stand in relation to other cultures.

As a part of the matriculation process, all students admitted to the program must: Complete formal OSHA training (which includes obtaining or declining the hepatitis B vaccination at no charge to the student); Purchase student liability insurance (approximately $15-30 annually); Complete the Professional Rescuer CPR/AED certification (approximately $15 annually); Successfully complete a medical pre-participation examination (cost incurred by student); Lab fees may be assessed for selected courses (see Mount Union catalogue).

Clinical Education
Four semesters of directly supervised clinical field experience are required for graduation. These field experience courses must be completed under the direct supervision of qualified clinical instructors (ACIs and/or CIs), in an approved clinical setting; they are required and available only for students selected into the CAATE Accredited ATEP. The required field experience courses must be distributed over at least two years, coinciding with AT 350, AT 355, AT 450 and AT 455. Additionally, at least one high school experience will be incorporated into the required field experience rotations as well as exposure to at least one opposite gender sport, varying levels of risk, protective equipment and general medical experiences that address the continuum of care that would prepare a student to function in a variety of settings and meet the domains of practice delineated for a certified athletic trainer in the profession. Athletic training majors are encouraged to obtain field experiences in other allied medical settings, i.e., ambulance riding/observation or athletic/physical therapy settings and medical facilities as part of the overall field experience requirement. Additionally, this curriculum is competency-based. Successful completion (documentation at the master level) of ALL educational competencies and clinical proficiencies (CPs) established by the CAATE, enumerated in the Mount Union Clinical Proficiency Verification Manual for Students, is required for BOC eligibility and for graduation. These educational competencies and clinical proficiencies are distributed appropriately throughout the required didactic course work and clinical field experiences.

The Athletic Training Minor

The purpose of this minor is to provide the student with basic knowledge of athletic training. It is designed primarily for those students pursuing other allied medical fields or graduate schools or those in teaching/coaching fields. It is an attractive and marketable combination with exercise science, biology (pre-medicine, pre-allied health), health and/or physical education majors and other education majors. The athletic training minor does not meet Board of Certification (BOC) or Ohio licensure eligibility requirements, and therefore, does not lead toward BOC certification or licensure as an athletic trainer in Ohio or in any other state.

Department of Communication
The goal of the Department of Communication is to help students become effective communicators and critical consumers of messages thus preparing them for life as educated citizens and productive professionals. The Department of Communication seeks to integrate the strengths of the liberal arts tradition with the theoretical foundation and skills necessary for majors to enter communication professions or to continue studies in graduate school. The major is designed to graduate students who are technically proficient as well as knowledgeable and conversant in the theory, history, literature and criticism of the field. The department reinforces a broad perspective on the nature and effects of the communication process rather than a narrow focus on training for a particular career. Such an approach makes students more successful both personally and professionally in this increasingly complex and ever changing world. The Department of Communication offers one 36-semester hour major, one 15-semester hour minor and four 15-semester hour concentrations for non-majors.

Department of Education
The Department of Educations Teacher Education Program is approved by the Ohio Department of Education for the preparation of competent, capable and caring teachers in early childhood, middle childhood, intervention specialist, adolescence to young adult, and multiage licenses. Mount Unions Department of Educations Teacher Education Program is also accredited by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE). Candidates are able to major and minor in early childhood (CE), middle childhood (ME) and intervention specialist (EI). Candidates are able to minor in adolescence to young adult (AE) and multiage (M/A). The early childhood major and license prepare candidates to work with typically developing and included children. The middle childhood major offers a choice of four different areas of emphasis leading to licensure: language arts, science, social studies and mathematics. The middle childhood major chooses two areas of emphasis in addition to a minor area of study. The intervention specialist major chooses one area of focus: early childhood intervention specialist or mild/moderate intervention specialist. The early childhood intervention specialist teaching license is valid for teaching learners with mild/moderate/intensive education needs from ages 3 through 8 and prekindergarten through grade three. The mild/moderate intervention specialist teaching license is valid for teaching learners with mild/moderate education needs from ages 5 through 21 and kindergarten through grade 12. The adolescence to young adult minor, when taken with an appropriate major, offers programs leading to licensure in the following areas: earth science (geology major); physical science (chemistry/physics major); life science (biology major); integrated mathematics (mathematics major); integrated language arts (English literature or writing major); and integrated social studies (history major). The multiage minor, when taken with an appropriate major, leads to licensure in the following areas: French, German, Japanese, Spanish, music, health, physical education and visual arts. In all programs, the candidate is prepared to meet the requirements for the appropriate Ohio Provisional License. The early and middle childhood generalist and K-12 reading endorsements are available. Licensure course requirements are available in the Teacher Education Program office or on the Teacher Education Program website. In order to meet the requirements for licensure in all programs, it is critical that the candidate begins the professional education sequence during the second semester of the freshman year and scrupulously follows the sequences for the appropriate major, minor and general education requirements. Field experience begins in the spring semester of the freshman year. In order to provide a rich experience, placements are made in varied school and community agency settings. It is recommended that candidates have access to their own automobiles. All field experience placements are within a 35 mile radius requirement. Candidates interested in teaching in other states should contact the state Department of Education of the other state(s), for information on reciprocity and other licensure information. Assistance to teacher education candidates and graduates seeking teaching positions is provided by the Teacher Education Program office. In addition to meeting and maintaining the requirements for admission and continuance in the Teacher Education Program (TEP) and for course requirements and field experiences for the licensure area, teacher candidates must meet the Ohio qualifying scores on PRAXIS II examinations (Principles of Learning and Teaching (PLT) and Subject Assessments/Specialty Area Tests).

Introduction to the Department of Educations Teacher Education Program and Licensure Requirements
The Deparment of Educations Teacher Education Program at the University of Mount Union is based on the guidelines suggested by the Ohio Department of Education, the Ohio Board of Regents and the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE). The Teacher Education Program is guided by a conceptual framework that gives the program an underlying structurethat gives conceptual meanings through an articulated rationale to the units operation and provides direction for programs, courses, teaching, candidate performance, scholarship service and unit accountability (NCATE, 2008). Mount Unions Teacher Education Programs Conceptual Framework focuses on its theme, candidate performance, program areas and commitments to diversity, technology and assessment. The theme, Caring Teachers Live What They Believe, has its roots in the synthesized We Believe statements collected from Teacher Education Program faculty, teacher candidates, members of our partner schools and other professional community members. The Teacher Education Program Advisory Council, Unit Governance Committee, Kappa Delta Pi and SNEA interacted with various drafts of the conceptual framework. This allowed input from teacher candidates and cooperating teachers, as well as other constituents from our partner schools. Fundamental to understanding the theme is Martin Habermans (1995) belief that only decent people can be prepared to teach, Nel Noddings (1995) understanding of the ethic of care, Mount Unions mission statement and the Teacher Education Programs 11 common goals. The Teacher Education Program has established criteria for candidate performance. Key elements in understanding Mount Unions Teacher Education Programs teacher candidates performance are the descriptors competent, capable and caring. Competent reflects our commitment to grounding our teacher candidates in knowledge of content, pedagogy and child development appropriate to each area of licensure. Capable reflects the nexus of theory to practice. This criterion refers to the Department of Educations teacher candidates ability to apply the theories regarding instructional techniques, classroom management, reflection and the varying needs of students in microteaching situations as well as actual school settings.

99

Caring reflects the disposition that is most essential to the theme, Caring Teachers Live What They Believe. Our teacher candidates must demonstrate that they are committed to service and to the betterment of childrens lives. The Teacher Education Program licensure programs are aligned with state, national and international standards. Licensure standards ensure that only those teachers who can perform the work will do the work. The standards emphasize performance from the time a teacher enters the classroom throughout his or her career. The ultimate benefit of this new direction is a better education for Ohios students. These standards increase the rigor in the teaching profession because they: 1. strengthen Ohios teacher preparation programs. 2. require successful performance of beginning teachers. 3. achieve higher standards through licensure. 4. intensify professional development. Licensure requirements are subject to the authority of the Ohio State Department of Education and Ohio law. All program curricula, requirements and policies are subject to change given the nature of the ongoing review process between Mount Union and the Ohio Department of Education.

Teacher Education Program Mission and Goals

The Department of Educations Teacher Education Programs mission statement is derived from the vision expressed in the Universitys mission statement, but it offers a version more particular to the preparation of teacher candidates. The Department of Educations Teacher Education Program at Mount Union prepares candidates for meaningful careers in the field of education. Building upon a solid liberal arts foundation, the Teacher Education Program assists candidates in developing knowledge, skills and dispositions necessary to become effective and caring teachers in an ever-changing society. The Teacher Education Programs candidates are prepared to become reflective, lifelong learners. This mission is realized for all candidates through the attainment of 11 common goals that are aligned with Ohio Teacher Education and Licensure Standards, INTASC, PRAXIS and NCATE Program standards. The Teacher Education Program has established programs in early childhood, middle childhood, intervention specialist, adolescence to young adult and multiage education to assist candidates to: 1. develop an understanding of subject matter areas and to create meaningful learning experiences based on this knowledge. 2. develop an understanding of students cognitive, social, physical and emotional development and to create learning opportunities that support student academic development. 3. recognize and value student diversity and the differences in how students learn and provide instruction to accommodate such diversity. 4. develop instructional plans based on students needs, curricular goals and models, subject matter and community. 5. develop pedagogical knowledge and skills and to use this expertise to encourage each student to develop critical-thinking and problemsolving skills. 6. create a classroom environment that facilitates learning and a climate that encourages fairness, positive social interactions, active learning and self-motivation. 7. develop effective verbal, nonverbal, written, technological and media communication skills to support and enhance student learning. 8. understand the role of assessment and the use of formal and informal assessment strategies to evaluate student learning. 9. develop skills necessary for self-reflection and to use this knowledge to analyze past experiences and to pursue professional development opportunities. 10. collaborate with students, candidates, parents, community members and professional colleagues in order to support student learning and development. 11. demonstrate a sense of caring. Performance-based assessments are used to monitor candidates performances and to determine the extent to which candidates meet goals and standards. The predominant assessment tool relied upon in the Teacher Education Program is the candidates assessment profile. The assessment profile is used as a continuous record keeping system not only for individual candidates but also to determine and to re-examine trends in candidate development within and across programs. The assessment profile documents candidates successful development of content, pedagogical and professional knowledge, skills and dispositions necessary to help all students learn. Information from the assessment profile is gathered at transition points to document goal attainment with the aim of becoming competent, capable and caring teachers. The transition points are program admission, entry into clinical practice, exit from clinical practice and program completion.

Program Admission
Transition point one, program admission, is the entry stage into the Teacher Education Program. Candidates must be admitted into the Teacher Education Program in order to take 300-level and 400-level education courses. In order to be accepted into the program, the prospective teacher must possess certain personal and professional characteristics. For purposes of admission, the standards are as follows: signatures on the Mount Union Student Code of Conduct and Good Moral Character statements: a minimum of 50 semester hours; the Teacher Education Program application; declaration of a major/minor and have an advisor assigned in major; a minimum 2.5 overall GPA; EH 100, EH 100I or EH 120, CM 101 or CM 102, MA 110 or higher with a course grade no lower than C- and a minimum grade of C+ in ED 150; a minimum grade of C in 200-level (AE, CE, ME and EI) courses for the appropriate program; a minimum grade of C in PY 210; satisfactory field evaluations; evidence of good moral character; positive references including ones from the advisor and from the vice president for student affairs; no record verification from the Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation (BCI & I); successful completion of Assessment Profile I; and Specialized Professional Association (SPA) requirements completed. Multiage minors must meet all course grade requirements. Refer to the specific course requirements in the major section of the Catalogue. Bachelor of music education degree candidates are required to complete ME 200 and must be approved by the music faculty at the Sophomore Evaluation for continuance in the degree program. Intervention specialist majors must receive a minimum score of 24 on the Multiple Environment Analysis assignment. Post-baccalaureate candidates must pass the PRAXIS II Subject Assessments/Specialty Area Tests and/or the Principles of Learning and Teaching Tests (PLT).

The requirements at this transition point are as follows: maintained admission in the TEP; an approved BA, BS or BME degree; successful completion of the Professional Development Plan (if applicable); a minimum 2.5 overall GPA; a minimum 2.5 GPA in major with all content complete; a minimum grade of C in all additional licensure requirements; the satisfactory completion of all portions of PRAXIS II (ex: middle childhood endorsement); caring teacher philosophy statement; professional portfolio; positive references; no record verification from the Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation (BCI & I) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI); and Specialized Professional Associations (SPA) requirements completed. Multiage candidates must meet all course grade requirements. Refer to the specific course requirements in the major section of the Catalogue.

Teacher Education Program Monitoring

In order to be accepted into, to continue in or exit from the Teacher Education Program at each transition point, the candidate must document the completion of all requirements for that particular transition point. The Teacher Education Program Administrative Support Analyst documents all qualifications and the completion of transition-point requirements. All updated information is maintained in a candidate database and file. In order to ensure equity, all of the candidates applications (traditional undergraduates, transfers and post-baccalaureates) will be formally reviewed during a Subcommittee on Teacher Education meeting held in January, May August or December. The Department of Education chair will notify each candidate in writing via a formal letter of the status of the decision.

Due Process
In order to eliminate bias and to ensure a fair and equitable practice, all candidates (traditional undergraduates, transfers and post-baccalaureates) will be formally reviewed during a Subcommittee on Teacher Education meeting. Based on the recommendations of the subcommittee, the Department of Education chair notifies candidates in writing if they are permitted or not permitted to advance to the next transition point. An individual conferences will be scheduled with the candidate if requested. If the candidate wishes to submit new or additional information that had not been considered when the application was reviewed, he/she may submit an appeal in writing to the Subcommittee on Teacher Education.

Gender Studies
This interdisciplinary minor, drawn from the humanities and behavioral and social sciences, offers a means of examining the significance of gender in shaping the experiences of societies and communities and individuals. Within the liberal arts tradition, gender studies analyzes the effects of cultural attitudes and social structures on the experiences of men and women, examines previously unavailable information about the lives and contributions of women and demonstrates the importance of gender as a category of analysis to understand social structures of identity, power, and privilege. Graduates who have completed the gender studies minor are poised to work in a variety of settings ranging from social service to policy and lobbying organizations to research centers and educational services. Additionally, minoring in gender studies appropriately prepares students for many graduate programs.

Departmental Regulations
All music majors are required to attend 15 recitals and concerts per semester except for the semester of clinical practice. All music minors must attend five recitals or concerts per semester. The specific distribution of recitals and concerts is posted at the Music Office near the beginning of each semester. Freshman music majors are required to perform a solo in a student recital once each academic year. Sophomore, junior and senior music majors are required to perform a solo in a student recital each semester of applied music major lessons. Any student enrolled in the Department of Music must have prior approval of the applied instructor and notify the department chair of such approval before making a public appearance as a music performer. Students preparing public recitals, other than general student recitals, must perform for the music faculty approximately one month prior to the recital date. Final permission for public appearance is contingent upon faculty approval at this hearing. Accompanists must be approved by the keyboard faculty four weeks before a scheduled appearance. All candidates for the bachelor of music in performance degree must include the study of pedagogy in their major performance area as part of their curriculum. This requirement may be met in a variety of ways, including special honors projects (MU 494) in applied lessons, at least one course in the Piano Pedagogy sequence (MU 275, 276, 277, 278), or at least two semester hours in Special Topics in Music (MU 399) or Special Problems in Music (MU 450) in the area of pedagogy. Music education majors are required to participate in one of the major organizations in their major performance area each semester except when student teaching. Instrumental majors are additionally required to participate in a large choral ensemble for a minimum of two semesters. Vocal majors are additionally required to participate in a large instrumental ensemble for a minimum of two semesters. These ensembles are MU 260, 261, 266, 267 or 268. Students are strongly advised to participate in at least one semester of the opposite area ensemble before the conducting sequence (MU 320 and MU 321) is begun. Candidates for the Bachelor of Arts degree, with a major in music, must take one of the two General Education fine arts courses from a department other than music. Advanced standing in music theory may be granted to students who pass examinations proving they have completed work equivalent to that required by the course. Written consent of the department chair and the dean of the University is necessary for the examination to be given. Success in the examination affects only the theory requirement and does not diminish the number of hours necessary for graduation. Music education majors are required to fulfill the policies outlined in the section entitled Admission to the Teacher Education Program, found in the Department of Education section of this Catalogue. All freshmen considering music as a major will be enrolled in an identical music schedule (except for applied major and minor areas) for the first semester. At the end of the first semester, freshmen desiring to continue in music will apply to the department for admittance to the appropriate degree program. At the end of the freshman year, a decision on acceptance of the student will be made by the faculty on the basis of faculty evaluation and

151

student self-evaluation. Students seeking continuation in the BME or BM degree track must demonstrate a combined average of C or higher in the following courses: MU 101, 110, 111, 143, 112, 113, and 144. Upon evaluation by the music faculty, students whose combined GPA in these courses is lower than a C may not continue in the BME or BM degree tracks. In the fourth semester, all music majors will undergo a Sophomore Evaluation consisting of the following criteria: students progress will be discussed with the applied instructor; student will be required to perform in his or her primary medium (performance on a student recital shall be the basis for evaluation); presentation of a portfolio containing the students assessment of his or her strengths, weaknesses, and professional goals; students academic transcript, record of recital attendance, record of recital performances; and the studio teachers evaluation. Students will meet formally with the full-time music faculty at the end of the sophomore year. The results of this Sophomore Evaluation will be: (1) continuation; (2) continuation on a probationary basis, with deficiencies specified to be remedied and demonstrated at a specified re-examination; or (3) non-continuation in the music major. The Music Student Handbook outlining all policies and programs pertaining to the music major and minor and private music lessons is available on the Department of Music website and is to be considered an extension of this Catalogue.

Department of Psychology
The mission of the Department of Psychology is to develop and maintain an academic curriculum and cocurricular activities that help students acquire a broad base of knowledge in psychology, acquire the intellectual and communication skills necessary to contribute to psychological science and develop characteristics that encourage personal fulfillment and responsible citizenship.

Department Goals
The goals of the department fall into three categories: Knowledge Base: The Department of Psychology provides courses, programs and experiences that foster the acquisition of the significant knowledge of the field including historical and contemporary persons and events that have shaped the discipline. The department seeks to provide students with an understanding of the varied methods, theories and conceptual models that serve as organizing frameworks for understanding behavior and experience. Intellectual Skills: The Department of Psychology provides programs, courses and experiences that enable students to develop skills in the areas of communication, information gathering, critical thinking, problem solving and quantitative and qualitative methods of inquiry, analysis and interpretation. Personal Characteristics: The Department of Psychology provides courses, programs and experiences that promote self-awareness, capacity for selfreflection, interpersonal competence, appreciation of diversity and the development of a personal code of moral and ethical behavior. A systematic study of behavior and mental processes is necessary for students who lean toward psychology as a profession and is of interest to those students who wish to gain greater insight into human and animal behavior. New students will quickly discover that the subject matter of psychology is spread across a wide spectrum of information; consequently, the courses in psychology offer various types of learning opportunities such as lectures, discussions, experiential activities, demonstrations, field placements, internships, seminars and empirical research projects. To become a professional psychologist, students must complete two to five years of graduate study. Professional preparation is a prerequisite for teaching and/or research positions in most colleges and universities and for the practice of clinical/counseling psychology. Undergraduate majors can be sure that, at least, they will be prepared for supervised/training positions in the mental health field such as case manager and group home counselor. They will also be qualified for positions in personnel work, social work, public relations, publicity, sales, advertising, hospital administration and others. However, they will not be prepared for any specific vocational objective. Many career opportunities are also found in school counseling, vocational rehabilitation, business and industry, government service, educational administration and research. In addition, an undergraduate major in psychology can serve as preparation for students choosing to pursue additional training in medicine or law.

Requirements for the Major in Psychology

A general orientation to the field is assured by requiring students to take basic courses in all areas. All psychology majors will take 36 semester hours in psychology: 30 required hours and six hours of electives. Beyond this, no more than 12 additional hours are allowed unless the student takes a like number of hours beyond the minimum of 120 hours required for the undergraduate degree.

The electives are determined through consultation with the students advisor. On declaring a major, a student should come to the Department of Psychology in order to plan a schedule of courses. Achievement of a degree follows from the fulfillment of a well-chosen and balanced program. Several courses outside of the department are recommended for majors. These usually include biology, sociology, mathematics, and as related to a particular plan of study, chemistry, economics or philosophy. For the pre-professional major, most graduate schools expect that an undergraduate will earn at least a 3.0 cumulative average.

Requirements for the Minor in Psychology

Students wishing to obtain a minor in psychology begin with an overview of the field and then take more specialized courses that provide greater depth of inquiry. The psychology minor consists of 15 semester hours in psychology: three required hours and 12 elective hours. The electives can be chosen from the remaining course listings. Required Courses PY 110 Introduction to Psychological Science Four additional PY courses Total Semester Hours 3 12 15

Psychology as a minor is appropriate for many types of students because it has applications in many career areas as well as in ones personal life. It would enhance preparation for careers in the fields of social services, business, medicine, education and the ministry as well as many others. Students interested in human services may wish to choose their electives from among the following courses: PY 215, 220, 225, 305, 310, 315, 340, 350, 365 and 499. Students interested in the scientific, experimental or biological areas may want to consider PY 230, 250, 260, 270, 275 and 380. Students interested in business might find courses PY 225, 235, 320 and 360 appealing. Students considering psychology as a minor are encouraged to speak not only with their advisors but also to a member of the psychology faculty to determine the courses that would be most suitable for them.

Requirements for the Major in Cognitive and Behavioral Neuroscience

The cognitive and behavioral neuroscience (CBN) major is designed for students with a focused interest in the biological bases of behavior and thought. The major is well-suited for students that are contemplating professional and/or research careers in clinical psychology, medicine, pharmaceuticals, veterinarian medicine, animal science, neurology and neuroscience. However, most of the courses in this major are open to all psychology majors and to students with other majors. Because CBN majors have additional laboratory requirements beyond those for the general

169

psychology major, students in the CBN major will receive a bachelor of science degree instead of a bachelor of arts degree. Students who choose the CBN major must meet coursework requirements similar to the traditional psychology major. One difference is that CBN majors must take PY 250, PY 251, PY 255 and PY 270. In addition, CBN majors are not required to meet the capstone requirement of PY 455 or PY 499. Instead, the CBN major must complete at least one proseminar (PY 420).

Graduating with a major in cognitive and behavioral neuroscience will require completion of a senior project on a neuroscience topic. Students in the CBN major are encouraged to take additional 200-level and 300-level PY courses as well as other upper-level BI and CH courses. Additional recommended electives will be determined via advising. There are several additional courses a CBN major might wish to take based on his/her interests. For example, if a student is interested in artificial intelligence, he/she would take courses in the cognitive area as well as in computer science. If the student is pre-med, he/she would take additional courses to meet the requirements for admission to medical school. Those students planning to apply to medical/veterinary/physical therapy schools should also take MA 141; BI 210 and 211; CH 231, 232, 370 and 371; and PH 101 and 102. Such students should discuss their academic plan with the pre-med advisor and/or the CBN adviser during their first year. Note: Students who declare a major in cognitive and behavioral neuroscience may not declare a second major or minor in psychology.

Requirements for the Minor in Cognitive and Behavioral Neuroscience

The objective of the minor in cognitive and behavioral neuroscience (CBN) is to provide undergraduate students with a structured opportunity to take classes in this interdisciplinary field that blends psychology and neurobiology. This opportunity is often beneficial to those interested in pursuing graduate study in a range of scientific fields, as well as those interested in planning professional careers in the health/medical fields.
