About this catalog . . .
The Lake Superior State University
Catalog does not constitute a contract
between the University and its stu­
dent on either a collective or individ­
ual basis. It represents LSSU’s be?
academic, social, and financial plai
ning at the time of publicatioi
Course and curriculum changes
modification of tuition; fees, dormi­
tory, meal, and other charges, plus
unforeseen changes in other aspects
of LSSU life, sometimes occur after
the Catalog has been printed, but
before the changes can be
incorporated in a later edition of the
same publication. Because of this,
Lake Superior State University does
not assume a contractual obligation
with its students for the contents of
this Catalog.
LSSU admits and hires men and
women, veterans, and disabled
individuals of any race, color,
national, or ethnic origin, or marital
status in compliance with all
appropriate legislation, including the
Age Discrimination Act.

�WHAT
Lake Superior State University encourages in its students a desire
to learn and a willingness to serve. The primary purpose of the
University is to educate and train young people for rewarding careers
and lives of meaning. We:
REGARD

STUDENTS as

mature, responsible individuals en­
gaged in the processes of self gov­
ernment which are essential in a
democratic society.

TEACH INDIVIDUALS, not
groups; with a close-working rela­
tionship between instructors and
students. Each student has a faculty
advisor and may also consult the
counseling service.

:ducate

students

for

’ell-rounded lives; not only intellec­
tual competence, but physical, social,
and cultural development. The pro­
gram of general education includes
courses such as recreational activities, natural sciences, social sciences,
English language and literature, and
Athletic events,
the humanities,
clubs, dramatic and cultural presenta­
tions, and student self-government
organizations offer a wide variety of
co-curricular activities.

TEACH FUNDAMENTALS
and their application. In modem
society knowledge increases so rap­
idly that specific facts may become
obsolete even before they are widely
learned. Close attention to funda­
mentals is necessary. The University
attempts to inculcate habits of learn­
ing, thinking and doing which,

thoughtfully modified, will endure
for a lifetime.

ENCOURAGE INITIATIVE,
self criticism, and intellectual curios­
ity, leam by doing. Education in
fundamental knowledge should be
supplemented by laboratory and field
work in order that university prepa­
ration closely resembles conditions in
professional careers. Students should
develop lifelong intellectual curiosity
and discovery, become constructive
critics of themselves and of society,
and leam to prize creative, original
thinking.

IN RETROSPECT
HISTORIC: Lake Superior State
University is a hilltop campus, situat­
ed on the historic site of Fort Brady,
a U.S. Army post dating back to
1822. The campus overlooks the St.
Mary’s River and the famous Soo
Locks. After the fort was deactivat­
ed in 1944, the property was
acquired by Michigan Technological
University to establish a branch.
Thus, the campus is a blend of his­
toric and modem architecture. The
University was accorded four-year
status by the State Board of Educa­
tion in 1966, and authorized to grant
baccalaureate degrees.

THE UNIVERSITY 4

�WE ARE
The first baccalaureate class graduat­
ed in 1967. Autonomy, separating
the University from Michigan Tech­
nological University, was granted
January 1, 1970. On November 4,
1987, Governor James Blanchard
signed legislation changing Lake
Superior State from College to Uni­
versity.

CAMPUS RESIDENCE facili­
ties include two conventional halls, a
Student Village with eight-man and
eight-woman apartments, townhouses, a mobile home park, small
group housing and several apartment
buildings. Canusa Hall provides
food service facilities. The Walker
Cisler Center offers recreational
facilities as well as a snack bar,
student offices, and meeting rooms.
The James Norris Physical Education
Center provides ample opportunity
for a variety of recreational activi­
ties, intramurals, courses and inter­
collegiate athletics. The Center for
Applied Sciences and Engineering
Technology offers students the latest
in modem technological resources.
A seasoned faculty and high academ­
ic standards have earned Lake Supe­
rior State University a reputation for
an enriched education in such areas
as liberal arts, engineering technol­
ogy, business administration, social
sciences, biological sciences and
their allied fields.
The need to provide continuing
education for adults has not been
overlooked. The University offers
evening courses as well as confer­
ences and cultural programs. Enroll-

ment of part-time students in day
classes is encouraged.
Students find the close relationship
between faculty and the student body
is extremely valuable in the first
years of university work. No one is
"lost in the crowd" here.

THE CAMPUS
ENVIRONMENT: The campus
provides a true university environ­
ment, with its own classroom and
laboratory buildings, residence halls,
library, auditorium, gymnasium, food
services, and health center. It con­
sists of 121 acres of spacious, wood­
ed campus on the western heights of
Sault Ste. Marie overlooking the St.
Mary’s River, Lake Superior and
Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario.
Students find that the city of Sault
Ste. Marie and its environs offer
much of value to enhance their edu­
Sault Ste.
cational experiences.
Marie is one of the oldest cities in
the United States. It was a fur trad­
ing center as early as the second
quarter of the seventeenth century.
In 1641, a Jesuit mission was estab­
lished here, and 27 years later Father
Marquette founded at the Sault the
first permanent settlement within the
limits of Michigan. The Sault cele­
brated its 300th birthday in 1968.
ACCREDITATION: How does
this university rank with other educa­
tional institutions scholastically?
Accreditation means the curricula,
faculty, equipment, laboratories, and
library of an institution have been

THE UNIVERSITY 5

�inspected and approved. Lake Supe­
rior State University is accredited by
the North Central Association of
Colleges and Secondary Schools.
Fourth year instruction in medical
technology is in hospitals approved
by the Council on Medical Education
and Hospitals of the American Medi­
cal Association.
Engineering Technology associate
degree programs accredited by the

Accreditation Board for Engineering
and Technology, Inc. include: com­
puter; drafting and design; electrical
and mechanical engineering technol­
ogy. The Board has also accredited
four-year programs in electrical,
mechanical and automated systems
engineering technology.
The nursing program is accredited by
the National League for Nursing.

WELCOME to Lake Superior State University. I look forward to
personally meeting you during your time at the University.
This Catalog is intended to be your guide through your academic
and student life at Lake Superior State University. It is given to you
with the expectation that it will become a part of your personal
library along with your dictionary, thesaurus, and any other
reference books you need at your fingertips.
While I do not necessarily commend it to you for a first-time
cover-to-cover reading, I do urge you to read the first third of the
book before moving to those sections devoted to specific disciplines
and degrees.
As in every other field of endeavor, it is essential that as a student
at Lake Superior State University you know the academic rules by
which we are expected to play. This book will help you with these
and assist you in formulating questions if in your review particular
areas are not adequately explained.
While many students come to the University with a firm choice of
a specific career field, others are not so certain. The literature shows
that, once enrolled in higher education, the majority of those
pursuing a degree change their minds about their academic major.
This is healthy. Education is discovery. What you thought was the
right choice for you in high school may take a distant second to
something you find in a general education course or elective at the
University. In this situation, the Catalog becomes a re-starting point,
and now you will have faculty and staff whom you know to call on
for advice.
When your experience at LSSU is twenty years in the distance, I
hope it will be fun to pull this book from the closet, dust it off, and
reflect on interesting courses and faculty and, I hope, some very good
times.
This is a multi-purpose book; one that can continue to work for
and with you. Keep it and use it wisely.
Dr. H. Erik Shaar, President

of the Educational Amendment Act of 1972, and Section 504 of
the Rehabilitation Act of 1973.
POLICY
1. The University encourages
students, faculty and staff to
report promptly instances of
discrimination and discrimina­
tory harassment. Once the
University has been informed
of such behavior it will take
timely and appropriate steps to
investigate the problem. At
any step of the grievance
process, time schedules as
outlined in the process may be
extended by mutual agree­
ment in writing.
2. Individuals may discuss with
the Grievance Officer con­
cerns they may have regard­
ing possible discrimination or
harassment to learn what
options are available.
3. NONRETALIATION:
The
University not only prohibits
discrimination, including ha­
rassment, but also strictly
prohibits any retaliation
against any individual, who, in
good faith, has registered a
complaint under this proce­
dure. Any supervisor, agent,
or employee of the University
who, after investigation, has
been determined to have retal­
iated against any employee or
student for using the complaint
procedure in this policy will be
subject to appropriate disci­
pline up to and including im­
mediate discharge. If an em­
ployee

believes he or she has been
retaliated against for exercis­
ing his or her rights under this
policy, the employee should
use this complaint procedure.
4. All matters discussed in this
process will be kept as confi­
dential as possible.
5. Individuals have the right un­
der the law to seek remedies
from the Michigan Department
of Civil Rights, the Equal Em­
ployment Opportunity Commis­
sion, the Office for Civil
Rights, Department of Educa­
tion or by court action. Indi­
viduals may file complaints of
illegal discrimination on the
basis of sex (Title IX) or handi­
cap (Section 504) with the
Office for Civil Rights, Depart­
ment of Education, at the
same time a grievance is filed

dure, during or after the use of
the grievance process, or
without using the grievance
process at all. A Title IX or
Section 504 complaint must be
filed in writing with the Office
for Civil Rights no later than
180 days after the occurrence

�ACADEMIC
The Academic Policies and regulations of Lake Superior State
University which are intended to guide students through an orderly
and successful pursuit of their academic goals, describe the necessary
actions and procedures for which students are responsible. They
outline the students’ expectations and rights while enrolled as a
university student. Advisors, department heads and personnel of
university offices will help students to understand these policies and
regulations; however, it is each student’s individual responsibility to
comply with them.

THE ACADEMIC
YEAR
Lake Superior State University is on
a semester system. (Previous to Fall
Semester 1991 it was on a quarter
system.) The academic year consists
if a Fall Semester (late August
\rough December) and a Spring
;mester (January through April or
Fall and Spring
irly May),
jemesters consist of fifteen weeks of
instruction followed by a week for
During the
final examinations.
Summer Semester (May through
early August) most courses are
conducted during an eight week
period which includes two days for
final examinations. Specific dates
for each semester are found in the
University Calendar located
elsewhere in this book.

ACADEMIC CREDIT
In a lecture/recitation type course
students receive one credit for each
fifteen hours of classroom
instruction. (For example, a threecredit course of this type might be
scheduled 9:00 to 9:50 AM Monday,
Wednesday and Friday. An "hour"

period is usually only 50 minutes
long, with ten minutes allowed for
students to move from class to
class.)
Courses including laboratory, field
work or other non-lecture formats
may be scheduled for more than one
hour per week per credit. In general,
one credit requires an average of
three hours of the student’s time per
In
week for the semester,
lecture/recitation courses this would
normally be accomplished with one

two hours of preparation or study.
An average student credit load per
semester is sixteen credits. One

minimum number required for a
Some

programs require more than this
minimum.

CLASSIFICATION
OF STUDENTS
Students are assigned to one of four
class levels as follows: 0 to 25
credits = Freshman; 26 to 55 credits
= Sophomore; 56 to 87 = Junior;
88+ = Senior.

�POLICIES
STUDENT
CURRICULUM
CHOICE AND
ADVISING
Students are encouraged to select a
major program upon admission to
the University,
The academic
department offering the chosen
program is called the "major
department". The department head
of the major department assigns an
academic advisor to each of the
students. An advisor assists students
in course selection each semester, in
understanding program and
university requirements and
regulations, in evaluating academic
progress, and in other matters related
to successful academic achievement.
Lake Superior Slate University is
firmly committed to providing
students personalized advising and
support. Students are encouraged to
actively seek help from their
instructors, advisors, department
head, Counseling Center, and any
other faculty, staff or office which
they believe might be of assistance.
The Counseling Center provides
academic tutoring as does the Native
American Center and academic
departments. These services are
usually provided without charge to
enrolled students,
Additional
information concerning advising
services is listed under testing and
counseling service in this catalog.
Students who are undecided about
their choice of a major program are
classified as majoring in Liberal
Arts, an associate degree program,

and assigned a provisional academic
advisor until another major is
chosen.
Students may change their major
curriculum by processing a
Curriculum Change Card through the
Registrar’s Office. The Registrar’s
Office, Counseling Center and
departmental offices can provide
students with the card and
instructions for processing it.
Curriculum Change cards must be
filed with the Registrar’s Office each
time a curriculum change is made so
that advisor materials, grade reports
and graduation information will be
sent to the correct department and
advisor. Students will be assigned &lt;
new advisor when a cumculun
change is made.
Students maj
request a change of advisor by
asking their major department head
to make such change.

SEMESTER
COURSE
SELECTION
Each semester the Scheduling Office
publishes a Course Schedule listing
all courses offered during the
semester along with related
information such as days and hour of
course offering, instructor and the
final examination time. This booklet
is available several weeks before the
semester begins and contains timely
and important information for
students. Students are responsible
for reading each semester’s Course
Schedule and adhering to its
instructions. Course Schedules and

ACADEMIC POLICIES 15

�scheduling materials are available
from all departmental offices and the
Scheduling Office.
After academic advising, students
schedule courses by submitting
required materials to the Scheduling
Office according to the time
schedule described in the Course
Schedule. After scheduling courses,
students have a limited period of
time to pay tuition and related fees.
At the end of this period
deregistration occurs. Deregistration
means that students’ registration in
all classes is canceled. Students who
are deregistered will usually find
fewer available classes from which
to choose when rescheduling.
Several factors assist or limit student
course selections.
Placement
examinations for mathematics and
English are administered by the
Counseling and Testing Center
located in Brown Hall.
These
xaminations are required of all
tudents before they schedule their
irst courses in mathematics or
English.
MAXIMUM STUDENT
CREDIT LOAD is twenty
credits per semester, with the
exception that students having a 3.00
cumulative grade point average may
take additional credit with written
approval of their major department
head.
Students on academic
probation should not take more than
fifteen credits per semester.
PREREQUISITES. Students
must satisfy prerequisites, and any
other stated conditions before
enrolling in a course or have
permission from an instructor to
waive the prerequisites. Enrollment
in a course may be revoked (with an
N grade) if it is found during the
regular drop period that the proper

prerequisites have not been met.
Responsibility rests with students to
be certain that they have the
approved prerequisites.
Permission to take any course out of
sequence is seldom granted even to
exceptional students, since electing a
course for which one is not prepared
imposes an additional burden not
reflected in the total number of
credits being carried. Students must
earn passing grades in a prerequisite
course before taking the next course
in sequence. For some courses a C
(2.00) grade or better is required.
Exceptions may be made only by
department heads or the course
instructor. Students who receive a D
grade in a prerequisite course or a
course in the major are strongly
advised (and may be required) to
repeat the course, and raise the D,
before continuing.
REPEATS. Students may not
repeat a course by enrollment or
examination if they have passed a
course for which the repeated course
is a prerequisite. Exceptions may be
granted by the department head with
the concurrence of the Registrar.
CHANGES IN COURSE
SCHEDULE. A period of time
is provided at the beginning of each
semester for students to add or delete
courses or reschedule all classes after
having been deregistered. Courses
deleted during this period will not
appear on a student’s permanent
record (transcript). The add/delete
period for a full semester course
begins on the first day of the
semester, and ends on the sixth
university business day. For courses
which span less than a full semester,
a shorter add/delete period may be
established. During the add/delete
period schedule changes are initiated
at departmental offices which

THE GRADING
SYSTEM
;rade point average
(GPA). To compute the grade point
average for a semester, divide the
total points earned by the total
credits carried.
Credits carried
include those failed or earned but not
credits for Credit/No Credit courses.
To figure the cumulative grade point
average divide the total points earned
by the total credits carried in all
semesters.
When a course is
repeated, count only the credits
carried and the points of the last
grade earned. Thus, successfully
repeating courses in which students
initially earned a D or F is an
effective way for them to improve
their cumulative GPA. A cumulative
grade point average of 2.00 for all
credits carried is required for
graduation.
Further, the student
must compile a 2.00 grade point

Incomplete grades (I):

An
incomplete grade is given only when
students, because of circumstances
beyond their control, are unable to
complete a segment of the course. It
must be made up by the date
specified by the instructor which
must be within a maximum of two
semesters in residence, or else the
incomplete grade becomes a failure.
Summer semesters are not counted
unless -a student is enrolled for
classes during the summer.
Deferred grades (Z): Deferred
grades are given in those special
courses where work is planned to
extend beyond a single semester.
GRADE REPORTS. Reports
concerning grades and credits are
sent to each student after each
semester. These reports are mailed
to home addresses.

DEAN’S LIST. Students who
complete twelve or more credits in a
semester with a grade point average
of 3.50 or higher will be placed on
the dean’s list for that semester,
acknowledging their outstanding
achievement.

�ACADEMIC PROBATION
Students at Lake Superior State
University enjoy a considerable
degree of self-determination; they
decide for themselves when and how
long to work on each assignment.
The best way to succeed in this task
is to work out a weekly schedule
with two hours of study time
earmarked as preparation for each
one-hour class. (In a few cases, the
instructor may suggest some other
division of time.)
Most students are able to maintain
good work in all their courses. A
few fall short of satisfactory
performance. For them, a system of
academic probation is used.
Academic probation is considered a
warning to students that their
scholastic performance is below the
University’s minimum requirements.
During this period, students should
determine for themselves whether to
continue their programs as planned.
No student while on probation shall
carry more than 15 credits per
semester exclusive of band and
recreational activities.
The
Executive Vice-president, in
consultation with the student’s
advisor, may impose restrictions on
the student’s extra-curricular
activities.
It is the responsibility of students to
familiarize themselves with all
academic regulations including those
relating to probation, and to keep
informed as to their academic
standing.
The rules governing
academic probation, dismissal, and
reinstatement follow.
1. Students will be on academic
probation if their cumulative
grade point average is in the "on
probation" category.

2. Students whose cumulative grade
point average at the conclusion of
a semester falls into the dismissal
range of the academic standing
table will be dismissed.
3. After a first or second dismissal
a student has the following
options:
a. Allow two semesters
(summer may be counted for
one semester) to elapse
before re-enrollment or
b. Petition the Scholastic
Standards Committee for
immediate
readmittance.
This action is initiated with
the Registrar.
The
Committee can permit early
readmittance with specific
conditions required of the
student or deny the student’s
request. Subsequent to the
Committee’s denial th'
student can further appeal t
the Vice President fc
Academic Affairs, whose
decision is final.
4. Students who continue after a
dismissal will be dismissed again
after any semester in which their
cumulative grade point average
falls in the dismissal category.
The Registrar may allow the
student to continue "on
probation" with the record
showing "on probation" instead
of "dismissal", if the student’s
record has shown improvement
during the semester and student
has a 2.00 grade point average in
courses carried for that semester.
5. Students dismissed a third time
will not be reinstated without the
permission of the Vice President
for Academic Affairs, Three
semesters must elapse from the
time of dismissal before the

this option students must be in good
academic standing, not on academic
probation. Only one such course per

general education requirements;
Advanced Placement, CLEP and
departmental examinations.
Pro­
cesses for taking Advanced
Placement and CLEP examinations
are described in the Admissions
section of this Catalog. Students
must be admitted to a degree
program before being eligible to
receive credit by examination. A
maximum of 30 credits may be
earned by examination,
CLEP
examinations, if available, will be
used to determine whether credit
shall be granted. Departments may
provide their own examinations for
certain courses. Students should
inquire at the academic department
offering the course whether a
departmental examination is
available.
If an examination is
available, the department head’s
written approval to take the
examination must be obtained.
An application form for credit by
examination with explanation of the
necessary procedural steps, may be
obtained from the department head
or the Registrar’s Office. The fee
amount will be equivalent to that for
CLEP exams and students will not
be charged tuition for the credits

Section 438 of the General
Education Provisions Act, as
amended, sets forth the requirements
to be met by an educational
institution to protect the privacy of
students. This Act is called the
Family Educational Rights and
Privacy Act and shall be referred to
hereafter as the Act.
The Act
generally governs access to student
educational records and the release
of such records. The Act also
requires that institutions of higher
education must provide students

Procedures for
Inspection and Review of Records
A student must submit a written
request for the inspection and review
of educational records or the release
of such records, where permitted, to
third parties. (See Section 10A for
release of records to third parties.)
The request must be submitted to the
appropriate officer responsible for
the record. (See Section 7 for list of
officials maintaining educational
records.)
The written request under this
section must contain:
1. A description of the information
requested.
2. The date, if any, that the
information is required.
3. The student’s signature.
4. The date the request is filed.
Section 6. Copies of Records:
Fees for Copies
Copies of educational records will
only be provided under the Act
under the following conditions:
1. Where failure to provide a copy
would effectively prevent a
student from exercising the right
to inspect and review the
educational record. (Examples of
when this provision would be

effective would be absence from
the State or a confining illness.)
If the student will return to the
residence occupied while in
attendance at the university or be
within 30 miles of the campus
and is not physically
incapacitated during the 45-day
compliance period, copies shall
not be provided but the right of
inspection shall be exercised.
Under this provision, the student
must submit a written request
(see Section 10A) specifying the
record to be disclosed, and the
reason that a personal inspection
of the record cannot be made
during the 45-day compliance
period.
The university will
review these requests on a caseby-case basis to determine if
copies are required as opposed to
personal inspection.
2. On request, under the provisions
of Section 10B regarding records
to officials of another educational
institution in which the student is
enrolled or seeks or intends to
enroll.
3. On request, or with the consent
of the student, under the
provisions of Section 10A,
regarding information released
with the approval of the
university to third parties.
The university shall not charge a
fee for copies of records
provided under the Act. There
shall not be a charge for search,
retrieval or inspection of the
record.
Copies of grades
provided under these provisions
will not carry the university seal
or official signature of approval.

record to be disclosed, and the
reason that a personal inspection
of the record cannot be made
during the 45-day compliance
period.

review these requests on a caseby-case basis to determine if
copies are required as opposed to
personal inspection.
2. On request, under the provisions

�STUDENT
OF BEHAVIOR
MEMBERSHIP IN THE UNIVERSITY COMMUNITY carries
with it both privileges and responsibilities. The University cannot
accept acts that interfere with the basic process of the academic
enterprise, nor acts which interfere with the rights of other members
of its community. Following are the basic regulations which govern
the behavior and conduct on the Lake Superior State University
campus:
1. ASSEMBLY: No person, or
persons, shall assemble in a manner
which obstructs the free movement
of persons about the campus, or the
free and normal use of University
buildings and facilities, or prevents
or obstructs the normal operation of
the University.
2. ALCOHOL AND DRUGS:
Any student found guilty of being
under the influence of drugs, or
possessing, or selling drugs or
narcotics will be subject to
immediate dismissal from the
Any student who

subject to disciplinary action
including fines, or dismissal for
repeated offenses. A student of 21
years of age who purchases alcoholic
beverages for minors, or who
participates in any way, faces not
only legal action from the State but
additional penalty from the
University.
The laws of the State of Michigan
prohibit the sale of alcoholic
beverages on any unlicensed
premise. No alcohol may be offered
for sale on any unlicensed portion of

the University campus, and no
hidden fee (such as admissions
charges, charges for food, etc.) may
be used to hide or conceal a charge

organization, group, or individual
offering alcohol to others anywhere
on the campus shall be required to
follow provisions of the University’s
alcohol policy, distributed annually
to all campus residents. Violators
may suffer loss of campus privileges,
disciplinary action by the University,
and prosecution by civil authorities.
3. CHEATING AND PLAGIA­
RISM:
The assumption of the
academic contract is that the student
does his or her own work: any
breach of the contract is considered
cheating. The faculty member who
detects a student cheating may take
appropriate action, such as assigning
a failing grade for the entire course.
A student who cheats is subject to
dismissal from the University. If, in
the opinion of the faculty member
involved, such action in warranted,
he or she will notify the chairman of
the scholastic standards committee
and the student to that effect in
writing. The scholastic standards

AND CONDUCT
committee will then conduct a
hearing in such a manner that the
student is given due process. If the
committee decides that dismissal is
warranted, the student shall have five
school days to appeal that decision to
the president of the University.
4. COMPLIANCE WITH UNI­
VERSITY OFFICIALS: Students
are expected to comply with the
directions of University officials who
are acting in accordance with the
performance of their duties. Failure

violation.
5. FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS:
A student’s fees, loans, fines, driving
and parking penalties, etc. are his or
her responsibilities and must be paid
when due. Delay in attention to
financial responsibilities may require

by the University: it may withhold
official transcripts, prohibit further
registration, remove registration if
already granted, withhold further
forms of financial aid, and in severe
cases, seek legal action from outside
agencies, including the State of
Michigan itself.
6. FIREARMS AND EXPLO­
SIVES: Explosives, firecrackers,
concealed weapons qnd similar items
are not permitted on campus.
Firearms are permitted, but must be

student organizations formally
recognized by the University may
invite speakers to the campus.
Reservations for rooms or lecture
halls for guest speakers are made
through the director of student
activities.

failing to comply with these
regulations may suffer a variety c
disciplinary penalties, includi
separation from the housing systf

itself.
9. I.D. CARDS: All students
enrolled in this institution are issued
an identification card to facilitate
recognition for the library, for
cashing checks, for campus voting,
for admission to campus activities,
etc. Misuse or alteration of the
University identification card, current
or expired, is considered a serious
offense subject to disciplinary action.
10. PARKING: All students who

11. RECORDS: It is the specific
responsibility of the student to give
honest and complete replies to all
questions included in application
forms, financial aid forms, and in all
other University documents. Failure
to give correct and complete

or alteration on or of any University
document or record can result in the
separation of the student from the
University.
2. STUDENT NOTICES:

Theft of any kind, whether of money
or of other property, is prohibited.
The destruction or mutilation of
books, magazines, or other library
material will not be tolerated. Theft
of, damage to, or destruction of the
property of others is considered a
serious offense against the University
community, and will result in the
separation of the student from the
University.
15. TREATMENT OF OTHERS:
Abuse, either physical or verbal, of
any person on University-owned or
controlled property, or at Universitysponsored or supervised functions,
will result in disciplinary action by
the University. No conduct will be

reconsidered for admission. The
grades earned as part-time students
become an additional factor when
reconsidering the students’
applications for admission.
It is the responsibility of students
electing to attend the University parttime, seeking reconsideration for
admission, to make certain they are
aware of all the conditions for
reconsideration the Admissions
Committee has established. Upon

�STUDENT SERVICES
THE UNIVERSITY RECOGNIZES the value of a well
rounded program for student development, and encourages students
to participate in student activities. Students should carefully consider
their choice of activities according to their special interests. There
are opportunities to participate in the programs of the honorary,
social, and professional organizations, special interest clubs, student
publications, intramural, and intercollegiate activities.
Formation of clubs, of such personal
interest groups as camera and
amateur radio clubs, and of musical,
dramatic, and other organizations is
encouraged. Intramural athletics are
stressed, and varsity teams
representing Lake Superior State
University compete in several
athletic conferences.
Students are encouraged to take part
in outdoor activity. Good hunting
and excellent fishing are found
within a few miles of the University.
Favorite winter sports are skating,
hockey, snowshoeing, tobogganing,
ice fishing and skiing.
THE
H.
THAYER
FLETCHER CENTER houses
a variety of offices providing
services to students: scheduling,
admissions, financial aids, placement,
continuing education and the
registrar, among others. It is named
after a man who visited the campus
one summer day in 1973 while back
in his home town for a few days"to
arrange for some scholarships." He
set up a $25,000 fund to be paid in
at $5,000 a year for five years.
Upon his death in 1979 the
University learned that he had left
the bulk of his estate to expand this
scholarship fund to almost more than

a quarter of a million dollars. AN
IMPORTANT PHASE of college
life consists of development in
"human relations." Learning to live
and work with others, and the
development of leadership qualities,
are largely the result of student
participation in a wide variety of
student activities at Lake Superior
State University.

STUDENT SENATE
THE GOVERNING BODY
for many student activities is the
Student Senate. All students are
eligible for election to Senate
membership and are encouraged to
participate in this active student
organization,
The Senate each
spring selects its future officers. It
meet regularly during the academic
year. Some annual events sponsored
by the Senate: Winter Carnival and

LODGING/FOOD
MODERN HOUSING facilities
are available for both men and
women. All students (enrolled for
12 hours or more) attending Lake
Superior State University must
comply with this housing policy:
All unmarried, non-veteran students
(enrolled for 12 hours or more) who
are within twenty-seven calendar
months of the date of their
graduation from high school (for this
purpose, all high school graduation
dates shall be assumed to be June
in any given year) must reside in
University residence hall, with t
following exceptions:
STUDENTS living with their
parents within reasonable commuting
distance.
STUDENTS exempted by the
housing director when residence hall
space is filled.
STUDENTS with unusual
financial or health problems who are
exempted by the executive vicepresident.
To permit adjustments to local
housing problems, the University
reserves the right to assign all
students within the residence halls.
Room, residence hall, and apartment
preferences are considered according
to the dates of receipt of application,
with freshmen ordinarily given
priority in residence hall assignments

STUDENT SERVICES • 51

�and upperclassmen being given
priority in apartment assignments.
The University recognized that the
need for an exception to the policy
stated above may occasionally arise.
Student requests for permission to
live off campus will be considered
by the executive vice-president.
Should a student request permission
to live off campus for financial
reasons, the executive vice-president
shall apply the following criteria to
his or her request:
"FINANCIAL hardship" shall be
defined for this purpose as a
situation in which the total resources
of the student and family added to
the total financial aid available from
the University do not equal the dollar
amount budgeted by the financial
aids office as the minimum required
for on-campus residency. In such a
situation, the student will be
considered to face two alternatives:
a.) withdrawing from the dormitory
or b.) withdrawing from the
University.
AN EXAMPLE OF a student
who might be released from the
dormitory under the above definition
would be one whose financial
situation changed suddenly during
the year (perhaps due to the death of
a parent) and who applies for
assistance, after the aids program is
depleted.
A complete and modem cafeteria is
located in Canusa Hall. The Cisler
Center has a snack bar, informal
lounges and recreational areas.
A number of modem student
apartments are available on campus.
Married students or groups of single
students desiring living accom­
modations should contact the housing
manager.

Stafford Student Loan Programs,
Board of Regents Scholarships,
Board of Regents Grant, Michigan
Competitive Scholarship, and all
other institutional scholarships and
grants.

Students are reviewed annually (at
the completion of Winter Semester)
in regards to credits completed.
Students who do not meet the
completion schedule are considered
as not making satisfactory progress
and their financial aid is suspended
for subsequent semesters.
Once financial aid is suspended, both
the GPA and credit completion
criteria must be met in subsequent
semesters before reinstatement of aid
is possible.
If completion of "I" grades or other
record changes warrant a

remove financial aid suspension
status, a student must have attained
the minimum cumulative grade point
average and credit earned
requirements while not receiving
financial aid processed through the
University. Successful students then
must advise the Financial Aid Office
in writing that they meet the
requirements for reinstatement.

PELL Grants
FOR MOST students, Federal
student aid begins with PELL
Grants, which provide a foundation
of financial assistance to which other
forms of aid may be added. A

FINANCIAL AIDS • 73

�distinguishing feature of this
program is its central concept of
"entitlement," which guarantees that
students who demonstrate need will
receive a grant based on that need
and on the cost of education at the
post-secondary school they choose to
attend.
PELL Grants for the award
period (July l, 1991 to June 30,
1992) will range up to $2,400 as
determined by a standard formula.
TO BE ELIGIBLE for a PELL
Grant, students must:
1. be determined to have financial
need based on the PELL Grant
eligibility formula and the cost of
their education;
2. be undergraduates accepted for
admission and enrolled at least
half-time in eligible programs at
eligible institutions;
3. be U.S. citizens or permanent
residents;
4. not have used their full eligibility
for PELL Grants;
5. not in default on a Stafford or
Perkins Student Loan, and not
owe a refund for a PELL or
S.E.O.G.;
6. maximum eligibility is limited to
five academic years for first-time
recipients in 1987-88 and after.
Although most students are paid
their awards through the school,
the U.S. Dept, of Education
determines their eligibility. The
University financial aid office
uses a standard procedure
established by the Dept, of
Education to calculate the amount
of the award.

STUDENT eligibility is
determined on the basis of a formula
developed annually by the Dept, of
Education and reviewed by
Congress. This formula is applied
consistently to all applicants and
takes into account indicators of
financial strength such as income,
assets, family size.
The formula uses the information
provided on the application to
produce eligibility index numbers.
These numbers are not dollar figures,
but are used, along with the cost of
student education, to determine the
actual amount of grants.
TO APPLY, applicants must
complete Financial Aid Forms (FAF)
or Family Financial Statements
(FFS) or Application for Federal
Student Aid (AFSA) and forward
them to the processor listed on the
form. Forms are available at high
schools, colleges, and financial aid
offices.
THE BOARD OF
REGENTS GRANT Program
provides financial assistance to both
incoming students and currently
enrolled students based upon
financial need. Preference for the
grant is given to those whose
financial need is greater than onehalf the cost of education.
Recipients must be Michigan
residents enrolled full-time.

SUPPLEMENTAL
EDUCATIONAL
OPPORTUNITY
GRANTS
THE HIGHER Education Act of
1965 created this program of
financial assistance to college
students from exceptionally needy

The Supplemental
Educational Opportunity Grants may
be used to meet all or part of student
financial need (up to $4000 in any
one year), with the exact amount
being proportional to the support that
can reasonably be expected from
their families.
Financial need is the primary
consideration in the selection of
grant recipients. Priority is given to
Pell Grant recipients. Academically,
it is only necessary to gain
admission to the University in order
to be eligible for the grant.
Recipients are selected from among
those applying for all forms of
financial aid.

TUITION INCENTIVE
PROGRAM (TIP): The TIP
Program is a State of Michigan
program that pays tuition and fees
for students of lower-income
families. Eligible students must be

reaching age 20, be accepted for
admission into an eligible program
and file a TIP application.

NOTES

�LOANS
Perkins Loans
(National Direct
Student Loans)
THE PERKINS Student Loan
program is for vocational,
undergraduate, and graduate students
who are enrolled at least half-time in
a participating postsecondary
institution and who need a loan to
meet their educational expenses.
STUDENTS MAY
BORROW up to $4,500 if they
are enrolled in vocational programs
or have completed less than two
years of a program leading to a
bachelor’s degree; $9,000 if they are
undergraduates who have already
completed two years of study toward
a bachelor’s degree (this total
includes any amount borrowed under
NDSL for the First two years of
study); and $18,000 for graduate or
professional study (this total includes
any Supplemental Educational
Opportunity Grants they borrowed
under NDSL for undergraduate
study).
REPAYMENT begins six
months (nine months for new
borrowers after July 1, 1987) after
students graduate or leave school for
other reasons. Students may be
allowed up to ten years to pay back
the loan, and during the repayment
period they will be charged five
percent interest on the unpaid
balance of the loan principal.
The amount of the repayment
depends upon the size of the debt
and ability to pay; but in most cases,
students must pay at least $30 a

month unless the school agrees to a
lesser amount. This agreement for a
lesser amount may be due to
extraordinary circumstances such as
prolonged unemployment.
DEFAULT: If students default
on a Perkins Loan and the school is
unable to collect, the Federal
Government will take action to
recover the loan. If such students
are discharged in bankruptcy,
become totally or permanently
disabled or die, loan obligations will
be canceled.

GRADUATION PROCEDURES 85

�DEGREE REQ
LAKE SUPERIOR STATE UNIVERSITY offers bachelor’s (also called
baccalaureate) degrees, associate degrees, and certificates. These degrees are
offered in a wide variety of academic programs. Each academic department has
a set of specific courses and other requirements for each of its degree programs.
These are stated later in this Catalog in the various departmental sections.
However, some requirements for bachelor’s degrees are of a general nature,
applying to all such degrees. These are discussed below.
BACHELOR’S DEGREES. A minimum of 124 credits is required for a
bachelor's degree. Some programs require more than this number of credits.
Requirements are of five categories: general education, bachelor of arts or bachelor
of science requirements, departmental requirements, competency requirements in
mathematics and writing, and residency.
ASSOCIATE
DEGREES
AND CERTIFICATES. See
the appropriate departmental section
of this Catalog for the specific re­
quirements. A minimum of 62 cred­
its is required for an associate de­
cree. Competency in mathematics
md writing is required for an associ­
ate degree. There is also a residency
requirement.
MINORS.
Academic minor
programs are also offered in a wide
variety of disciplines. A minimum
of 20 credits is required for a minor,
and some require more. See depart­
mental sections for specific minor
program requirements.

GENERAL
EDUCATION
(35 credits)
General Education consists of cours­
es required of all students regardless
of their specialized area of study.
The purpose of general education is
to develop skills and knowledge
useful for all students, regardless of

their career choices. Requirements
in English and speech enhance fun­
damental skills of writing and speak­
ing. Requirements in humanities,
natural sciences, and social sciences
broaden intellectual perspective and
familiarize students with fundamental
fields of human knowledge. The
recreational activity requirement lays
the foundation for a lifetime of activ­
ity that will promote health and well­
being.
ENGLISH (6 credits) - EN110
and EN205, EN210 or EN215
SPEECH (3) - SD101. Quarter
course SD110 or an equivalent twosemester credit speech course is

DEPARTMENTAL
REQUIREMENTS
Each program has a set of specific
course requirements determined by
the department offering the degree
program. See departmental sections
for these requirements.

ELECTIVES
Elective courses are chosen to obtain
credit beyond that of specified re­
quirements. Free electives refer to
courses which students may select
completely of their own choice.
Designated electives refer to courses
selected from a list specified by the
department

COMPETENCY IN
MATHEMATICS
Students seeking associate or bache­
lor’s degrees are required to demon­
strate competence in mathematics at
approximately the level of basic
algebra. Both the Counseling and
Testing center and the Department of
Computer, Geologic, and Mathemati­
cal Sciences administer the minimum

DEGREE REQUIREMENTS 87

�competency algebra examination.
Students can satisfy the mathematics
competency requirement in the fol­
lowing ways: (1) score 15 or higher
on the intermediate algebra place­
ment examination, given at the time
the student enters the University, (2)
pass the algebra competency exami­
nation, or (3) complete a Lake Supe­
rior State University mathematics
course at MA091 or higher.
Transfer students who have previous­
ly completed a course equivalent to
MA092, with a grade of 2.00, or
higher, or a higher level math class
(specifically excluding MA207) will
have satisfied the University’s math­
ematics graduation requirement. The
student’s transfer credit evaluation
form must indicate that LSSU’s
mathematics competency requirement
has been satisfied.
Students are required to complete
mathematics competency (by course
or exam) during the first 56 credits
earned. A student reaching the 56
credit limit without competency shall
enroll in MA091 until passed and be
limited to a maximum of 13 credits
per semester, including MA091, until
:ompetency is accomplished.
Transfer students entering LSSU
with 40 or more transfer credits shall
complete mathematics competency
during the first 20 credits they earn
at LSSU or be subject to the enroll­
ment restrictions stated above.

COMPETENCY IN
WRITING
The Writing Competency Examina­
tion demonstrates a student’s ability
to read and write critically at a level
deemed appropriate for undergradu­
ate work. Effective Fall Semester
1991 it will be given at the end of
the sophomore English course

(EN205, EN210 or EN215) as a
"rising Junior test" before students
begin upper level courses with disci­
plinary writing emphasis.
The test consists of a read/respond
format in which a passage is sup­
plied and students use it as the basis
for the essay. At least three topics
from across the curriculum will be
available for each test. Students will
have three hours to complete the test.
The rising Junior test will be given
during the final exam week of
EN205, EN210 or EN215 at sched­
uled group times in place of the
final examination. All other test
sessions must be scheduled by indi­
viduals through Brown Hall.
The test is a university graduation
requirement and will be graded
pass/repeat by the faculty using
criterion-referenced scoring methods.
Students who must repeat the exami­
nation may retake the test one time
at the counseling center after one
month. Students who do not pass
the test before Junior level (56 cred­
its) must enroll in EN091, an inten­
sive review of English, and will be
limited to 13 semester credits, in­
cluding EN091, until satisfying the
requirement.
Transfer students who enter Lake
Superior State University prior to fall
semester 1992 with EN205, 210, or
215 credit must pass the examination
within the first two semesters of
attendance at Lake Superior State
University. If they fail the first
attempt, they may retake the exami­
nation after one month. If they do
not pass the examination within two
semesters, they must repeat EN205,
210 or 215.
Transfer students who enter Lake
Superior State University in fall
semester 1992 or later having com­
pleted the equivalent of the General
Education English sequence must

DEGREE REQUIREMENTS 88

�take the competency examination
before beginning their second semes­
ter. Transfer students who do not
pass the test before their senior year
(88 semester credits) must enroll in,
EN091, an intensive review of Eng­
lish and will be limited to 13 semes­
ter credits, including EN091, until
satisfying the requirement. Transfer
students on a 3+1 program must take
the test before the beginning of their
first semester. Arrangements will be
made, if possible, to administer the
test on the campus of the institution
from which students are transferring.

WAIVER OF
COMPETENCY
REQUIREMENTS
Effective Fall semester 1991 the
mathematics and/or writing compe­
tency graduation requirement(s) will
be waived only on the basis of hav­
ing a certifiable learning disability or
neurological medical condition.
Students must be certified by a li­
censed psychologist or neurologist as
having a substantial disability in the
learning process.
Students potentially eligible for a
waiver are required to initiate their
appeal through the University Coun­
seling Center. Those students who
obtain the necessary certification
must provide the University Counsel­
ing Center with documentation of
such. The Counseling Center shall
then notify the Registrar’s Office of
the waiver. Enrollment restrictions
stated above, as appropriate, continue
in effect until a student has provided
this documentation to the Counseling
Center.

RESIDENCY RE­
QUIREMENTS
Bachelor’s degree candidates must
earn at least 32 of their final 40
credits and at least fifty percent of
their departmental required 300/400
level credits in courses offered by
Lake Superior State University.
Regional Center students must earn

at least 32 of their final 64 credits
and at least fifty percent of their
departmental required 300/400 level
credits in courses offered by the
University. Associate degree and
certificate candidates must earn 16 of
their final 20 credits in such courses.
For a minor, students must earn at
least 6 of the required credits in such
courses.

EXCEPTIONS TO
GRADUATION RE­
QUIREMENTS

infrequently made. A petition for
exceptions to General Education
requirements is initiated with the
Registrar.
Course substitutions and waivers of
departmental degree program re­
quirements may be granted only by
the head of the department offering
the program (major or minor).
Normally, students will graduate
under the program degree require­
ments in effect and published in the
Catalog at the time they are admitted
into the given degree program, pro­
vided their enrollment at the Univer­
sity is continuous. If enrollment is
interrupted, or if students select a
new major, they will be required to
satisfy program requirements in
effect at the time they re-enter or
officially change to the new major.
If program requirements are revised
during student’s enrollment, they will
be allowed to graduate under the
new requirements providing they can
meet such requirements in their
entirety.

DEGREE REQUIREMENTS 89

�The University reserves the right to
change the requirements for gradua­
tion at any time as a means of keep­
ing pace with educational develop­
ments affecting the various curricula.
As such changes are made, they may
at the discretion of the University be
applied to students already enrolled.
In such cases reasonable and prudent
effort will be made to provide stu­
dents the benefit of the new educa­
tional program without imposing
undue hardship.

The load of Liberal Arts
In an age and an economy devoted to mass activity and group conformity, the
unique discipline of humane enlightenment traditionally associated with a study of
the Liberal Arts bears an increasingly heavy load. Two related arts are our special
concern: one is that of teaching, the other that of communicating with the larger
public beyond these walls. Both require a concern for the truthful and accurate use
of language - for truth, indeed, rather than indifferent "information." Both require
an exercise of feeling and imagination as much as of thought. Both are concerned
to discover and encourage whatever creative aptitudes may be latent in eacl
student.
Our aim is knowledge, not pedantry;
our prime responsibility is to foster
the free mind, the exploring spirit -and to insure them every reasonable
liberty of expression. Since it is the
purpose of many studies to remind
us that we are neither apes, nor ants,
such a purpose may be better served
in a small community, such as ours,
avowedly dedicated to the pursuit of
a liberal education, than in some
large institutions whose very size
prohibits individual attention or
concern. A four-year curriculum
leads to the bachelor of arts degree
in English Language and literature or
to the bachelor of arts or bachelor of
A
science degree in history,
suggested curriculum is outlined;
however, students should plan

individual programs of study in
consultation either with assigned
advisers, or with department head.
Electives are available throughout the
University; in liberal arts these
include not only additional courses in
English and history or sequences in
the modem foreign languages, but
also in speech, journalism, drama,
music, art, and philosophy. Leading
authorities recognize that a sound
liberal arts education is often the
most satisfactory preparation for
successful training and
accomplishment in many vocational
and professional areas,
Upon
completion of their degree program,
students will be prepared either to
pursue career in fields such as
communications, industry, and

of acceptable entrance credits. Three

COURSES SELECTED for credits toward the general education requirements are not generally
accepted for a major or minor. However, some exceptions are made and the specific exceptions will
be noted in the Catalog or should be discussed with departmental advisors. It is advisable to complete
general education requirements first, as any changes in the choice of a major area of study will not
appreciably affect the program for the first two years. Students will graduate under the requirements
in effect upon entering (not to exceed five years).

BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES
BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES prepare students for careers in research and in
applied aspects of life sciences as well as providing a background in biology for
a career or further studies in allied sciences. Four-year programs lead to bachelor
of science degrees in biological sciences, fisheries and wildlife management,
environmental science and medical technology; bachelor of arts degree in biology;
and two associate degrees: natural resources technology and water quality
technology. Students electing to pursue four-year degree programs have the
opportunity of changing their majors to one of the other biology degree programs
without losing credits or having to make up deficiencies. Students working toward
these four-year degree programs have the same basic first year of courses.

BACHELOR OF ARTS/SCIENCE

Biology
Lake Superior State University is
ideally located for field studies of
terrestrial and aquatic resources.
Students electing a variety of courses
in ecology and applied ecology can
qualify for state and federal positions
in fisheries biology, wildlife biology,
and other related fields. Laboratory
courses give students knowledge and
techniques necessary for many
technical positions with industry and
governmental agencies.

and numerous other fields can
receive a strong undergraduate
background at Lake Superior State
University that will enable them to
pursue a career or graduate education
elsewhere. Admission requirements
for professional and graduate
universities vary throughout the
United States and Canada. Students
planning post-baccalaureate
education should plan with their
advisor to insure that these
requirements are met.

Students interested in research
positions in environmental science,
marine biology, microbiology,
physiology, fish and wildlife biology

ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS:
To qualify for admission as
freshmen, applicants must be

BIOLOGY &amp; CHEMISTRY 99

�graduates of accepted secondary
schools with above average standing
in their class.
Their secondary
school preparation should include a
four-year curriculum of at least 15
units of acceptable entrance credits.
The following subjects must be
included in these credits: one unit of
beginning algebra, one unit of
advanced algebra, one unit of
chemistry and three units of English.
In addition, one biology unit and one
unit of geometry or trigonometry are
highly recommended. Students not
meeting these requirements may
enter on a provisional basis. Ontario
Grade 13 students are required to
take departmental competency
examinations before credit will be
granted in biology and chemistry.
Substitution for courses required as
part of biology degree requirements
must be approved by the department
head.

Honors Program
This program is a research sequence
open to biology, chemistry and
environmental science majors with a
minimum overall GPA of 3.5
through the first semester of the
junior year. Majors electing this
sequence will select an instructor as
their supervisor. An undergraduate
research project will be outlined in
consultation with the supervising
instructor and submitted to the
department for approval. The outline
must be approved before the first
term of the senior year. At the end
of the seventh week of the spring
term during the senior year, the
students will forward an abstract of
their work to the department head
and during the tenth week of the
same semester will submit the final
copy of their research papers in
publishable form, for departmental
approval.
All grades for this
sequence will be deferred until the

final semester. Eight credit hours of
honors credit will be substituted for
8 hours of electives upon successful
completion of the research sequence.
The special problem sequence will
not be open to students electing the
honors program research sequence.
The completed research may be used
for Senior Thesis.

Special Problems
In biology, chemistry, environmental
science: Students desiring to enroll in
BL, CH, EV Special Problem
courses will be granted permission to
take the course(s) provided the
following conditions are in existence
at the time of petition: (A) junior or
senior standing; (B) With overall
GPA of at least 2.5; (C) No I grades
on transcript. Students meeting these
requirements must petition depart­
ment faculty with a detailed onepage outline of work and date to be
completed. Request for more than
four hours will result in a propor­
tionate reduction in an 18-hour load;
e.g. with BL400 for six credits, the
balance of courses must not exceed
12 credits for the term. The faculty
preceptor must endorse the petition
with his signature and the date the

�FISHERIES &amp;
WILDLIFE
Fisheries and wildlife courses place
strong emphasis on understanding
organisms in their habitats. Fisheries
and wildlife courses blend a
conceptual understanding of fish and
wildlife populations with practical
knowledge of relevant lab and field
techniques. Students work with, and
must learn to identify, a wide variety
of plants, fish, birds, and mammals.
Students graduating from the
rigorous curriculum requirements in
the fisheries and wildlife degree can
meet the qualifications of state and

federal government agencies as
technicians and biologists,
To
qualify for any type of position as a
wildlife biologist with a federal
agency, a minimum of 9 credits is
needed in botany. Other career
opportunities include positions as
naturalists, conservation officers, and
related professions. The rigorous
curriculum provides an extremely
competitive background for
admittance to graduate school. All
students majoring in fisheries and
wildlife management are encouraged
to consider pursuing a graduate
degree.

Applicants to a professional school
are seldom accepted with only three
years of undergraduate credit,
therefore, pre-medical, pre-veterinary
medicine or pre-dental students are
encouraged to remain four years and
complete the requirements for the
bachelor of science or bachelor of
arts degree in biological sciences. A
survey of medical school admission
requirements for the United States
and Canada as published by the
Association of American Medical
Colleges shows that the Lake
Superior State University bachelor of
science degree in biological sciences
meets the most stringent
requirements.

Pre-Pharmacy (Transfer Program)
The two-year course of study
outlined below is a guide for those
who plan to apply for admission and
transfer to a three-year professional
pharmacy curriculum at another
In Michigan, such
institution,
programs are offered at Ferris State
University, University of Michigan,
and Wayne State University. For
further information and planning,
students are advised to consult
catalogs from these or other
institutions. Generally, application
for admission to a professional
pharmacy curriculum must be
submitted after completing the first

year of pre-pharmacy. Generally,
students must have a cumulative
grade point average of 2.00 as well
as grades of C or better in sciences
and mathematics. Students entering
Ferris State University with one year
of high school physics may pass a
physics proficiency examination in
lieu of the year of college Physics.
If the latter courses are not taken, a
sequence of humanities or behavioral
science courses is recommended.
The following suggested schedule,
for instance, is recommended and
meets all requirements for admission
to the School of Pharmacy of Ferris

�□ Computer Information Systems
Management concentration
The CISM area of concentration is an integrated program of
management and computer information systems. It provides a broad
study of business management with the opportunity to extend this
study by elective courses. The curriculum includes a strong
emphasis on computer-based information systems including systems
analysis, systems design, database systems, systems management and
computer programming. The COBOL (Common Business Oriented
Language) is studied in depth, with an emphasis on program design.
COBOL is also used as the host language in the study of database
program development. Students have an introduction to RPG
(Report Program Generator), and they may elect to study other
programming languages.
Career oriented: Although graduates should expect to begin their careers as
programmer/analysts, their background prepares them to develop professionally
along alternative career paths including systems analysis, systems design,
programming project management, systems development management, and
information systems department management.

�□ Management concentration
A broad survey of all phases of business operations for students
1. planning to operate their own business who seek a broad business
background;
2. preparing for jobs in large organizations with training programs
in which specialization is taught after employment; and
3. those who desire a general business background at the
undergraduate level prior to taking more specialized graduate
work. This program provides breadth of preparation rather than
specialization but with sufficient flexibility to permit students to
emphasize such professional fields as personnel management,
production management, or the broad aspects of management
philosophy and practice.

COMPUTER SCIENCE
In recent years, a quiet revolution has taken place. The computer has moved
out of the back room of large corporations and research institutions into the front
offices and living rooms of modem society. Computer scientists work at the
leading edge of this revolution, developing software systems that allow us to utilize
the electronic hardware the engineers have built. The work is challenging, and
often frustrating, but is ultimately very rewarding.
THE DEPARTMENT offers a
Bachelor of Science In Computer
and Mathematical Sciences that
combines a study of digital
computing with the study of
mathematical concepts.
The
resulting program provides students
with considerable versatility and
potential for future endeavors in
which practical quantitative skills are
important. A MINOR in computer
science is also available to provide
excellent support and value to most
majors offered at the University.
ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS:
To qualify for admission to the
program in computer and
mathematical sciences, applicants
must satisfy University admission
requirements as described in the
Admissions section of this Catalog.
(This information is also included in
the Viewbook.)

Secondary school academic subjects
should include:
Three units of
English, two units of algebra, one
unit of geometry. It is strongly
recommended that applicants have a
fourth unit of college-preparatory
mathematics which includes one-half
unit of trigonometry. A unit of
chemistry or physics is also
recommended.
Completion of the program may
require more than four years for
students who do not meet all
entrance requirements.
For students with college-level
achievement, the opportunity will be
offered, by means of examination, to
obtain course credit or placement
into an advanced course.

GEOLOGY
SINCE THE BEGINNING of the solar system our earth has
been developing. Our present environment is the result of the
cumulative interaction of many dynamic physical, chemical and
biological processes.
GEOLOGY deals with the
dynamic earth, its physical makeup,
and its physical and organic history.
It involves the study of changes
which have taken place and the
forces which cause, and are now
causing, these changes. By drawing
on concepts of biology, chemistry,
mathematics and physics geologists
attempt to understand the physical
environment in which we live and
from which we derive most of the
natural resources essential to our
civilization. Our civilization requires
many

non-renewable natural resources in
order to survive. Since the turn of
the century, we have used more and
more of these resources at an everincreasing rate and now have critical
supply problems. Our demands upon
the environment have significantly
changed the earth around us, and, if
we are to survive, we must live
within the constraints imposed by
nature.
Geologists study and
understand these constraints. They
must apply their knowledge to
achieve harmony between the human
race and its environment.

�of geologic science and geophysics. Increases in the demand for
energy fuels and mineral products result in an expansion of
opportunities for graduates in geology. Students contemplating
careers in geology should, upon graduating, expect to travel, often to
remote and uninhabited areas. Most of the jobs entail outdoor field
work, often under difficult conditions.
Other new fields are now
requiring geologists, such as NASA,
EPA, and companies and agencies
involved with environmental
concerns.
The geological
environment of Lake Superior State
University provides unexcelled
opportunities for field study of
classic sections illustrating
Precambrian stratigraphy, structure,
intrusions, and metamorphism and
undisturbed Paleozoic sedimentary
formations. Proximity to deposits of
iron, copper, uranium, dolomite and
the Michigan oil and gas fields as
well as other minerals is an
additional advantage. Students are
eligible to participate in the
department’s active research in
micropaleontology (conodonts).

MATHEMATICS
A MOST PRODUCTIVE TOOL: Mathematics is the
foundation of the sciences and the technology largely responsible for
our present standard of living. Mathematics is one of the most
productive tools yet discovered for unraveling the mysteries of our
COMPUTER, GEOLOGIC AND MATHEMATICAL SCIENCES 148

�universe. In some instances, it is the only language in which some
ideas can be expressed. Courses offered in this discipline provide the
foundation for future work in mathematics. Our teaching objectives
are twofold: to give students an understanding of mathematics, and
to impart an understanding of the many ways in which this tool may
be used.
ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS:
To qualify for admission to the
program in mathematics, applicants
must satisfy University admission
requirements as described in the
Admissions section of the Catalog.
(This information is also included in
the Viewbook.)
Secondary school academic subjects
should include:
Three units of
English, two units of algebra, one
unit of geometry. It is strongly
recommended that applicants have a
fourth unit of college-preparatory

mathematics which includes one-half
unit of trigonometry. A unit of
chemistry or physics is also
recommended.
Completion of the program may
require more than four years for
students who do not meet all
entrance requirements.
For students with college-level
achievement, the opportunity will be
offered, by means of examination, to
obtain course credit or placement
into an advanced course.

Technology
THIS PROGRAM combines the disciplines of mechanical,
electrical, computer, and manufacturing engineering technologies in
preparing students for modem manufacturing and production career
responsibilities.
The capstone program assumes a
two-year background in an
appropriate engineering technology
or pre-engineering curriculum.
Graduates will be prepared to design,
integrate, and program various
systems for automated
manufacturing. Technical courses in
the final two years will be based
upon the student’s previous
background and are designed to

produce a well-rounded and versatile
engineering technologist.
Students from community colleges
with a background in an engineering
technology curriculum can usually
transfer directly into the third year of
the automated systems program.
Most community college programs
have transfer curriculum agreements
available

THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH SCIENCES offers a bachelor of
science degree in nursing which is based on the belief that nursing is goal-oriented,
directed toward assisting human beings in health promotion, maintenance,
restoration, and rehabilitation. The program is based upon human needs theory
throughout the life cycle and is built on a liberal arts foundation in the belief that
all aspects of society must be considered influential factors in the health of human
beings.
ACCREDITATION:
The
Bachelor of Science in Nursing
Program is approved by the
Michigan Board of Nursing and is
accredited by the National League
for Nursing.
COURSES OFFERED by the
department are in nursing and health
sciences. Nursing courses, excluding
interdisciplinary elective nursing
courses, provide the core content of
the nursing major and are limited to
students accepted into the nursing
programs. Health science courses
provide a wide range of knowledge
and skills useful for

preparation in related health careers
and in the delivery of health services
in the community.

EXERCISE SCIENCE
THE EXERCISE SCIENCE major concentrates on
developing an understanding of the physiological and psychological
consequences of exercise in various populations, and applying this
knowledge to fitness, clinical and research settings. The need for
exercise science professionals is growing in each of these areas as
exercise continues to occupy a prominent role in enhancing the
quality of life and maintaining health; and, gains prominence in the
treatment and prevention of lifestyle diseases such as cardiovascular
disease, hypertension, obesity, and diabetes.
Employment
opportunities for exercise science professionals are becoming more
varied and requiring increased levels of expertise and technical skills.
This major is designed to prepare students to meet these professional
challenges through a skill- development approach in the critical areas
of exercise testing and exercise prescription. The required 124
graduation credits emphasize course work in
physiology,
pathophysiology, sport medicine, laboratory procedures, research.
methods, exercise psychology and computer applications.

�□ Athletic Training Concentration
AN ATHLETIC TRAINER is a highly skilled professional who deals
directly with injuries which occur to athletes. The athletic trainer works closely
with physicians and other health care professionals in order to provide today’s
athletes with the best medical care possible. Those who pursue a career in
athletic training may seek employment on the high school, college, or
professional sport levels. In addition, the athletic trainer may be employed in
sports medicine and health fitness clinics, the number of which has greatly
increased in the past decade. All the above mentioned positions usually require
certification by the National Athletic Trainers’ Association. Students
completing the concentration at Lake Superior State University will be more
marketable in the field of exercise science and eligible for a variety of graduate
programs in athletic training and sports medicine throughout the country. Any
student wishing to achieve eligibility to sit for the National Athletic Trainers’
Association certification examination will receive individual guidance in that
direction.

THERAPEUTIC RECREATION
With the advancement of the humanistic and holistic
philosophy of health care, the development of Therapeutic Recreation
as a profession has been tremendous. Through the use of
recreational activities as a modality, the Therapeutic Recreation
Specialist improves the physical, social, mental and emotional
functioning of individuals with a variety of limiting conditions.
Canadian and American students graduating with a bachelor of
science in Therapeutic Recreation have been very successful in
finding employment in a variety of settings, such as hospitals, homes
for the aged, special recreation associations, prisons, municipal
recreation programs and agencies providing services for the
physically challenged.

POLITICAL SCIENCE
Political Science is the systematic study of government and
politics. Since government and politics are found at many levels—
international, national, state, and local-and all over the world,
political science has many facets. All of these facets receive
attention in the political science program at Lake Superior State
University.
The goal of the curriculum is to
prepare students interested in
government and politics for
rewarding careers and lifetimes of
learning and involvement. To best
achieve this goal, three distinct
concentrations or tracks are available
for students of political science:
1. general political science
2 pre-law,
3. public administration.

Each concentration has beedesigned to provide a combination
knowledge and skills that is uniqm
appropriate for those with particu I
career goals. However, choosir
one concentration over the otheri
does not limit a student to one
particular career path-each of the
concentrations provides a solid
grounding in political science.

BACHELOR OF ARTS/SCIENCE

POLITICAL SCIENCE - GENERAL
The general political science concentration is designed to
provide a broad education in political science. It is most appropriate
for students who plan to attend graduate school in political science
and for those with an interest in government and politics who wish
to get a broad, liberal education as preparation for a career in
business, government, or journalism. Students who continue their
education in graduate school most often pursue careers

SOCIAL SCIENCES - SOCIAL SCIENCES - 209

�as professors, researchers, consultants, or government officials.
Students who do not pursue graduate study choose from a wide
variety of career options in business, government, and journalism.

POLITICAL SCIENCE - PRE LAW
The pre-law concentration provides students of political
science interested in legal careers with a planned curriculum that
prepares them especially well for law school and for careers in law.
Students who choose this option are often interested in careers as
attorneys, prosecutors, or judges. It should be noted that this is not
a mandatory pre-law curriculum; it is a curriculum for pre-law
students who have a special interest in government and politics.
Noteworthy features of this
concentration are a special course on
the nature of legal careers and how
to prepare for them; two courses in
legal research and writing that
provide students with a head start in
using a law library and in conducting
legal research; and a well-designed
combination of support courses in
logic, debate, writing, accounting,
and research.

A minimum of one course in each of the

POLITICAL SCIENCE - PUBLIC
ADMINISTRATION
The

public administration

concentration is most

appropriate for students who plan to work in an administrative
capacity in public agencies or nonprofit organizations with public
missions. Students who choose this option are preparing for careers
of public service. Such careers may be pursued through positions in
government agencies at the local, state or provincial, and national
levels. Other positions may be found in nonprofit organizations
involved in public concerns, such as Common Cause, the
Environmental Defense Fund, and the Michigan Health Council.
Some of these careers of public service may be pursued with only a
bachelor’s degree. Others may require completion of a master’s
degree in public administration or a related field.
Senior public administration students
will complete an internship as part of
their education. Internships allow
students to apply the knowledge they

PRE-LAW
A specialized pre-law curriculum is available for political
science students interested in legal careers. However, no prescribed
course of study can be recommended to all students who plan to

undergraduate majors from a wide variety of fields. As previously
indicated, a pre-law concentration is offered in the political science
curriculum and various law courses are offered as a part of the legal
SOCIAL SCIENCES - SOCIAL SCIENCES • 214

�assistant studies program at Lake Superior State University. See
appropriate political science and legal assistant studies program
listings, which are part of the Social Sciences Department.
Students interested in a legal career
should consult with the pre-law
advisor early and often during their
undergraduate studies. The pre-law
advisor is located in the Social
Sciences Department,
Pre-law
planning based on consultation with
the advisor will allow the student to
make an informed choice of
curriculum and of elective courses
that will help with the development
of the skills mentioned below. The
pre-law advisor will also provide
pre-law students with a variety of
materials about admission to law
school, the law school admission
test, and careers in law.
A student’s undergraduate grade
point average and his or her score on
the Law School Admission Test
(LSAT) are the two most important
criteria for admission to law school.
Details on admission policies of law
schools throughout the country, and
the degree to which these schools
may use other criteria in addition to
grade point average and LSAT score,
may be found in the Pre-Law
Handbook. The Pre-Law Handbook
is published by the Law School
Admission Council/Law School
Admission Services and is the
official law school guide.

This handbook may be examined by
contacting the pre-law advisor, or
may be purchased in many book
stores.
Although there is no prescribed
major which must be taken for
admission to law school, some
curricula may be better than others
in helping students develop skills
necessary for admission to law
school and for a successful legal
career. A broad and challenging
undergraduate curriculum is the best
preparation for law school. The PreLaw Handbook stresses that a
student’s undergraduate education
should lead to the development of
skills in three areas: (1) the ability to
understand and express oneself well
in words, (2) the development of a
critical understanding of the human
institutions and values with which
the law deals, and (3) the
development of creative power in
thinking. A pre-law student should
consider the need to develop these
skills in selecting his or her
curriculum. In addition, students
should think about whether the
curriculum they choose can provide
an alternative to a career in law
should they eventually choose not to
pursue a legal career.

PSYCHOLOGY
BACHELOR OF ARTS/BACHELOR OF SCIENCES

PSYCHOLOGY

Psychology is the systematic study of behavior and mental
processes in humans and animals. The major provides students with

�exposure to the areas that define contemporary scientific psychology.
The psychology major helps a student develop analytical thinking
and communication skills which are applicable to a variety of
careers. Many psychology majors pursue post baccalaureate degrees.
Psychology electives enable students to construct a program of study
consistent with their professional goals. The Bachelor of Science and
Bachelor of Arts degrees differ only in the nature of the cognate;
science classes or foreign language classes, respectively.

SOCIOLOGY
Sociology is the scientific study of human social groups, from
families to societies. In sociology we examine how variables such
as the culture, laws, and customs of a society influence individuals

SOCIAL SCIENCES - SOCIAL SCIENCES • 220

�within the society. Sociologists also investigate how individuals
influence and change society.
The knowledge acquired through
the study of sociology is useful in a
number of careers, including human
services, law enforcement,
corrections, business administration,
and public administration, among

others. For those students who plan
a career in sociology, teaching or
doing research, an undergraduate

�MASTER OF BUSINESS
ADMINISTRATION
The Master of Business Administration (MBA) Program
provides a graduate management education to further prepare
students for careers in business, industry and government agencies.
The MBA Program reflects a realis­
tic approach to graduate work in two
ways. First, the courses tend to be
more applied or practical, and are
thus more useful for the practicing
manager. Second, the courses are
offered evenings and weekends,
tailored specifically for the employed
person.

PROGRAM
OBJECTIVES
1. To provide individuals with
advanced academic work in the
field of business and manage­
ment education.
2. To provide individuals with a
graduate program that is oriented
to a pragmatic study of business
and management education.
3. To provide individuals with a
program that will prepare them
for management positions in
public and private units in society.
4. To provide individuals with an
opportunity to develop a capacity
for self-directed and professional
growth.
5. To provide individuals with a
program that provides a broadbase exposure to the general
concepts of management.

6. To provide individuals employed
full-time with an opportunity to
secure graduate management
education on a part-time basis.
7. To provide opportunities for a
multi-disciplinary approach to
learning through an exchange of
graduate faculty of other institu­
tions.

FACULTY
The MBA graduate faculty consists
of full-time Lake Superior State
University faculty, adjunct faculty
from other colleges and universities,
and visiting scholars. Faculty are
selected on the basis of their creden­
tials, business training, industrial
experience, professional reputation,
and interest in graduate management
education.

MBA ADVISORY
COUNCIL
The MBA Advisory Council assists
the University in curriculum devel­
opment and serves as a liaison be­
tween the MBA program and the
area it serves. Active interchange
with this Council helps MBA faculty
and staff to be sensitive to current
trends in business and to the profes­
sional development needs there.

�LAKE SUPERIOR STATE UNIVERSITY

MISSION STATEMENT
Lake Superior tState University is a co-educational, public,
comprehensive institution that recognizes as its primary mission the
offering of challenging undergraduate programs to students from
Michigan, Northern Ontario, and the near Midwest in anticipation of
preparing them for stimulating lives and satisfying careers in the
twenty-first century.
By design a relatively small institution, Lake Superior Stave
University strives to carry out its primary mission by realizing a
collegial community in which all its constituencies share in the
teaching, research, and regional service activities of the Institution.
In this supportive environment students, staff, faculty, and
administrators demonstrate high regard for one another as valued
members of the community, thus providing opportunities for
emotional and social maturation as well as intellectual growth.
AIT educational programming at Lake Superior State University rests
on an acknowledged commitment to an integrated relationship
between the liberal arts and professional/technical fields. That
relationship fosters the development of students as contributing
citizens, viable professionals, and fulfilled individuals, who think
critically, appreciate creativity, have problem-solving skills and
express continuing intellectual curiosity about themselves, others, and
the world around them. The University’s international setting
complements its efforts to assist students in the expansion of their
perspectives.
Lake Superior State University’s primary mission, thus, draws its
validity from the knowledge that today’s students—tomorrow’s
leaders will best serve humanity by having: the necessary infor­
mation to understand the past; the critical thinking skills to assess
contemporary problems; and the enlightened courage to face with
enthusiasm the uncertainty of the future.

About this catalog . . .
The Lake Superior State University
Catalog does not constitute a contract
between the University and its student on
either a collective or individual basis. It
represents LSSU’s best academic, social,
and financial planning at the time of
publication.
Course and curriculum
changes, modification of tuition; fees,
dormitory, meal, and other charges, plus
unforeseen changes in other aspects of
LSSU life, sometimes occur after the
Catalog has been printed, but before the
changes can be incorporated in a later
edition of the same publication. Because
of this, Lake Superior State University
does not assume a contractual obligation
with its students for the contents of this
Catalog.
LSSU admits and hires men and women,
veterans, and disabled individuals of any
race, color, national, or ethnic origin, or
marital status in compliance with all
appropriate legislation, including the Age
Discrimination Act. The compliance
officer is Ruth Gendzwill.

�WHAT
Lake Superior State University encourages in its students a desire
to learn and a willingness to serve. The primary purpose of the
University is to educate and train young people for rewarding careers
and lives of meaning. We:
REGARD

STUDENTS as

mature, responsible individuals en­
gaged in the processes of self gov­
ernment which are essential in a
democratic society.
TEACH INDIVIDUALS, not
groups’, with a close-working rela­
tionship between instructors and
students. Each student has a faculty
advisor and may also consult the
counseling service.

EDUCATE STUDENTS for
well-rounded lives’, not only intellec­
tual competence, but physical, social,
and cultural development. The pro­
gram of general education includes
courses such as recreational activi­
ties, natural sciences, social sciences,
English language and literature, and
the humanities. Athletic events,
clubs, dramatic and cultural presenta­
tions, and student self-government
organizations offer a wide variety of
co-curricular activities.

TEACH FUNDAMENTALS
and their application. In modem
society knowledge increases so rap­
idly that specific facts may become
obsolete even before they are widely
learned. Close attention to funda­
mentals is necessary. The University
attempts to inculcate habits of learn­
ing, thinking and doing which,

thoughtfully modified, will endure
for a lifetime.

ENCOURAGE INITIATIVE,
self criticism, and intellectual curios­
ity, leam by doing. Education in
fundamental knowledge should be
supplemented by laboratory and field
work in order that university prepa­
ration closely resembles conditions in
professional careers. Students should
develop lifelong intellectual curiosity
and discovery, become constructive
critics of themselves and of society,
and leam to prize creative, original
thinking.

IN RETROSPECT
HISTORIC: Lake Superior State
University is a hilltop campus, situat­
ed on the historic site of Fort Brady,
a U.S. Army post dating back to
1822. The campus overlooks the St.
Mary’s River and the famous Soo
Locks. After the fort was deactivat­
ed in 1944, the property was
acquired by Michigan Technological
University to establish a branch.
Thus, the campus is a blend of his­
toric and modem architecture. The
University was accorded four-year
status by the State Board of Educa­
tion in 1966, and authorized to grant
baccalaureate degrees.

THE UNIVERSITY • 6

�WE ARE
The first baccalaureate class graduat­
ed in 1967. Autonomy, separating
the University from Michigan Tech­
nological University, was granted
January 1, 1970. On November 4,
1987, Governor James Blanchard
signed legislation changing Lake
Superior State from College to Uni­
versity.

CAMPUS RESIDENCE facili­
ties include two traditional halls, a
Student Village with eight-person
apartments, townhouses, a mobile
home park, several apartment build­
ings and unique family-style houses.
Canusa Hall provides food service
facilities. The Walker Cisler Center
offers recreational facilities as well
as a snack bar, student offices, and
meeting rooms. The James Norris
Physical Education Center provides
ample opportunity for a variety of
recreational activities, intramurals,
courses and intercollegiate athletics.
The Center for Applied Sciences and
Engineering Technology offers stu­
dents the latest in modem technolog­
ical resources.
A seasoned faculty and high academ­
ic standards have earned Lake Supe­
rior State University a reputation for
an enriched education in such areas
as liberal arts, engineering technol­
ogy, business administration, social
sciences, biological sciences and
their allied fields.
The need to provide continuing
education for adults has not been
overlooked. The University offers
evening courses as well as confer­
ences and cultural programs. Enroll-

ment of part-time students in day
classes is encouraged.
Students find the close relationship
between faculty and the student body
is extremely valuable in the first
years of university work. No one is
"lost in the crowd" here.

THE CAMPUS
ENVIRONMENT: The campus
provides a true university environ­
ment, with its own classroom and
laboratory buildings, residence halls,
library, auditorium, gymnasium, food
services, and health center. It con­
sists of 121 acres of spacious, wood­
ed campus on the western heights of
Sault Ste. Marie overlooking the St.
Mary’s River, Lake Superior and
Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario.
Students find that the city of Sault
Ste. Marie and its environs offer
much of value to enhance their edu­
Sault Ste.
cational experiences.
Marie is one of the oldest cities in
the United States. It was a fur trad­
ing center as early as the second
quarter of the seventeenth century.
In 1641, a Jesuit mission was estab­
lished here, and 27 years later Father
Marquette founded at the Sault the
first permanent settlement within the
limits of Michigan. The Sault cele­
brated its 300th birthday in 1968.
ACCREDITATION: How does
this university rank with other educa­
tional institutions scholastically?
Accreditation means the curricula,
faculty, equipment, laboratories, and
library of an institution have been

THE UNIVERSITY 7

�inspected and approved. Lake Supe­
rior State University is accredited by
the North Central Association of
Colleges and Secondary Schools.
Fourth year instruction in medical
technology is in hospitals approved
by the Council on Medical Education
and Hospitals of the American Medi­
cal Association.
Engineering Technology associate
degree programs accredited by the

Accreditation Board for Engineering
and Technology, Inc. include: com­
puter; drafting and design; electrical
and mechanical engineering technol­
ogy. The Board has also accredited
four-year programs in electrical,
mechanical and automated systems
engineering technology.

�LAKE SUPERIOR STATE UNIVERSITY grievance
procedures for Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Title IX
of the Educational Amendment Act of 1972, and Section 504 of
the Rehabilitation Act of 1973.
POLICY
1. The University encourages
students, faculty and staff to
report promptly instances of
discrimination and discrimina­
tory harassment. Once the
University has been informed
of such behavior it will take
timely and appropriate steps to
investigate the problem. At
any step of the grievance
process, time schedules as
outlined in the process may be
extended by mutual agree­
ment in writing.
2. Individuals may discuss with
the Grievance Officer con­
cerns they may have regard­
ing possible discrimination or
harassment to learn what
options are available.
3. NONRETALIATION:
The
University not only prohibits
discrimination, including ha­
rassment, but also strictly
prohibits any retaliation
against any individual, who, in
good faith, has registered a
complaint under this proce­
dure. Any supervisor, agent,
or employee of the University
who, after investigation, has
been determined to have retal­
iated against any employee or
student for using the complaint
procedure in this policy will be
subject to appropriate disci­
pline up to and including im­
mediate discharge. If an em­
ployee believes he or she has
been retaliated against for ex-

ercising his or her rights under
this policy, the employee
should use this complaint
procedure.
4. All matters discussed in this
process will be kept as confi­
dential as possible.
5. Individuals have the right un­
der the law to seek remedies
from the Michigan Department
of Civil Rights, the Equal Em­
ployment Opportunity Commis­
sion, the Office for Civil
Rights, Department of Educa­
tion or by court action. Indi­
viduals may file complaints of
illegal discrimination on the
basis of sex (Title IX) or handi­
cap (Section 504) with the
Office for Civil Rights, Depart­
ment of Education, at the
same time a grievance is filed
under the University's proce­
dure, during or after the use of
the grievance process, or
without using the grievance
process at all. A Title IX or
Section 504 complaint must be
filed in writing with the Office
for Civil Rights no later than
180 days after the occurrence
of the possible discrimination.

�ACADEMIC
The Academic Policies and regulations of Lake Superior State
University which are intended to guide students through an orderly
and successful pursuit of their academic goals, describe the necessary
actions and procedures for which students are responsible. They
outline the students’ expectations and rights while enrolled as a
university student. Advisors, department heads and personnel of
university offices will help students to understand these policies and
regulations; however, it is each student’s individual responsibility to
comply with them.

THE ACADEMIC
YEAR
Lake Superior State University is on
a semester system. (Previous to Fall
Semester 1991 it was on a quarter
system.) The academic year consists
of a Fall Semester (late August
through December) and a Spring
Semester (January through April or
early May),
Fall and Spring
semesters consist of fifteen weeks of
instruction followed by a week for
During the
final examinations.
Summer Semester (May through
early August) most courses are
conducted during an eight week
period which includes two days for
final examinations. Specific dates
for each semester are found in the
University Calendar located
elsewhere in this book.

ACADEMIC CREDIT
In a lecture/recitation type course
students receive one credit for each
fi fteen hours of classroom
instruction. (For example, a threecredit course of this type might be
scheduled 9:00 to 9:50 AM Monday,
Wednesday and Friday. An "hour"

period is usually only 50 minutes
long, with ten minutes allowed for
students to move from class to
class.)
Courses including laboratory, field
work or other non-lecture formats
may be scheduled for more than one
hour per week per credit. In general,
one credit requires an average of
three hours of the student’s time per
In
week for the semester,
lecture/recitation courses this would
normally be accomplished with one
hour of classroom attendance and
two hours of preparation or study.
An average student credit load per
semester is sixteen credits. One
hundred twenty four credits is the
minimum number required for a
Some
baccalaureate degree,
programs require more than this
minimum.

CLASSIFICATION
OF STUDENTS
Students are assigned to one of four
class levels as follows: 0 to 25
credits = Freshman; 26 to 55 credits
= Sophomore; 56 to 87 = Junior;
88+ = Senior.

STUDENT
CURRICULUM
CHOICE AND
ADVISING
Students are encouraged to select a
major program upon admission to
The academic
the University,
department offering the chosen
program is called the "major
department". The department head
of the major department assigns an
academic advisor to each of the
students. An advisor assists students
in course selection each semester, in
understanding program and
university requirements and
regulations, in evaluating academic
progress, and in other matters related
to successful academic achievement.
Lake Superior State University is
firmly committed to providing
students personalized advising and
support. Students are encouraged to
actively seek help from their
instructors, advisors, department
head, Counseling Center, and any
other faculty, staff or office which
they believe might be of assistance.
The Counseling Center provides
academic tutoring as does the Native
American Center and academic
departments. These services are
usually provided without charge to
Additional
enrolled students,
information concerning advising
services is listed under testing and
counseling service in this catalog.
Students who are undecided about
their choice of a major program are
classified as majoring in Liberal
Arts, an associate degree program,

and assigned a provisional academic
advisor until another major is
chosen.
Students may change their major
curriculum by processing a
Curriculum Change Card through the
Registrar’s Office. The Registrar’s
Office, Counseling Center and
departmental offices can provide
students with the card and
instructions for processing it.
Curriculum Change cards must be
filed with the Registrar’s Office each
time a curriculum change is made so
that advisor materials, grade reports
and graduation information will be
sent to the correct department and
advisor. Students will be assigned a
new advisor when a curriculum
change is made.
Students may
request a change of advisor by
asking their major department head
to make such change.

SEMESTER
COURSE
SELECTION
Each semester the Scheduling Office
publishes a Course Schedule listing
all courses offered during the
semester along with related
information such as days and hour of
course offering, instructor and the
final examination time. This booklet
is available several weeks before the
semester begins and contains timely
and important information for
students. Students are responsible
for reading each semester’s Course
Schedule and adhering to its
instructions. Course Schedules and

ACADEMIC POLICIES

17

�scheduling materials are available
from all departmental offices and the
Scheduling Office.
After academic advising, students
schedule courses by submitting
required materials to the Scheduling
Office according to the time
schedule described in the Course
Schedule. After scheduling courses,
students have a limited period of
time to pay tuition and related fees.
At the end of this period
deregistration occurs. Deregistration
means that students' registration in
all classes is canceled. Students who
are deregistered will usually find
fewer available classes from which
to choose when rescheduling.
Several factors assist or limit student
course selections.
Placement
examinations for mathematics and
English are administered by the
Counseling and Testing Center
located in Brown Hall.
These
examinations are required of all
students before they schedule their
first courses in mathematics or
English.
MAXIMUM STUDENT
CREDIT LOAD is twenty
credits per semester, with the
exception that students having a 3.00
cumulative grade point average may
take additional credit with written
approval of their major department
head.
Students on academic
probation should not take more than
fifteen credits per semester.
PREREQUISITES.
Students
must satisfy prerequisites, and any
other stated conditions before
enrolling in a course or have
permission from an instructor to
waive the prerequisites. Enrollment
in a course may be revoked (with an
N grade) if it is found during the
regular drop period that the proper

prerequisites have not been met.
Responsibility rests with students to
be certain that they have the
approved prerequisites.
Permission to take any course out of
sequence is seldom granted even to
exceptional students, since electing a
course for which one is not prepared
imposes an additional burden not
reflected in the total number of
credits being carried. Students must
earn passing grades in a prerequisite
course before taking the next course
in sequence. For some courses a C
(2.00) grade or better is required.
Exceptions may be made only by
department heads or the course
instructor. Students who receive a D
grade in a prerequisite course or a
course in the major are strongly
advised (and may be required) to
repeat the course, and raise the D,
before continuing.
REPEATS. Students may not
repeat a course by enrollment or
examination if they have passed a
course for which the repeated course
is a prerequisite. Exceptions may be
granted by the department head with
the concurrence of the Registrar.
CHANGES IN COURSE
SCHEDULE. A period of time
is provided at the beginning of each
semester for students to add or delete
courses or reschedule all classes after
having been deregistered. Courses
deleted during this period will not
appear on a student’s permanent
record (transcript). The add/delete
period for a full semester course
begins on the first day of the
semester, and ends on the sixth
university business day. For courses
which span less than a full semester,
a shorter add/delete period may be
established. During the add/delete
period schedule changes are initiated
at departmental offices which

ACADEMIC POLICIES 18

�maintain current records of class
availability. In some cases faculty
permission will be required for
Detailed
course changes,
information on adding or deleting
classes is provided to students in the
Course Schedule booklet each
semester. A STUDENT’S ADD OR
WITHDRAWAL FROM A
COURSE IS NOT OFFICIALLY
COMPLETED UNLESS THE
APPROPRIATE FORM IS FILED
WITH THE SCHEDULING
OFFICE. Students are advised to
retain the official receipt they are
given upon completion of an add or
drop procedure.
LATE ADDS. Students request­
ing to add courses after the end of
the add/delete period must obtain
permission and a special form for
this purpose from the Registrar’s
Office, obtain the written approval of
the instructor, and then return the
form to the Registrar’s Office. A
service charge will be charged for
this procedure. Students are
responsible for all class work
missed previous to adding a class.
NON-ATTENDANCE AT
FIRST CLASS. Students sched­
uled for a course, but not attending
the first class meeting, may be
deleted by the instructor during the
delete period. In this case, the
instructor shall submit a delete form
and notify the student.

DROPPING COURSES
AFTER THE ADD/DELETE
PERIOD. Students may drop a
course during the first five weeks
(twenty five school days) of a full
semester course. For courses running
less than a full semester the semester
Course Schedule booklet will contain
official dates each semester. (The
time period for dropping will be
equal to a third of the course

instructional period.) A student’s
record shall indicate an N grade for
each course officially dropped during
this period. Forms for the procedure
are available in departmental,
Scheduling and Registrar’s Offices.
After the five-week drop period,
drops will be allowed only for
A
extenuating circumstances,
student’s record shall indicate a W
grade for courses officially dropped
during this period. The student must
receive the instructor’s recommen­
dation and the approval of the
Registrar. Forms may be obtained at
the Registrar’s Office.

CLASS
ATTENDANCE
Students at Lake Superior State
University should be sufficiently
mature to attend classes without
being required to do so. Students
must decide for themselves when it
is necessary to be absent. In making
such a decision, they must
understand that instructors are
authorized to lower grades if they
believe a student’s absence requires
this action.
The policy on
attendance reads as follows:
1. Absences will be handled
according to the instructor’s
discretion, consistent with
departmental policy.
2. Instructors may report
consecutive or excessive absences
to the Executive Vice President.
3. Participation in an official
University function shall be
considered an excused absence
when approved by the Vice
President of Academic Affairs.
Students shall not be penalized
for participation in such a
function; but students are

ACADEMIC POLICIES 19

�responsible for work missed and
must confer with their instructor
on this matter.

COMPLETE
WITHDRAWAL
FROM THE
UNIVERSITY
Full time students who withdraw
from the University during the First
Five-weeks of the semester should
report in person to the Counseling
Center and complete a withdrawal
form for the Registrar’s ofFice. The
Registrar will authorize the
appropriate refund, if any. Refunds
will be mailed after the end of the
refund period. After the Five-week
drop period, students must report to
the Registrar’s OfFice for the
Withdrawal Form.
Proper clearance of University
obligations assures that students can
later receive transfer of credits.
Students
with a hold on their
transcript will not receive a transcript
of credits
until clearance is
complete.

THE GRADING
SYSTEM
GRADE POINT AVERAGE
(GPA). To compute the grade point
average for a semester, divide the
total points earned by the total
credits carried,
Credits carried
include those failed or earned but not
credits for Credit/No Credit courses.
To Figure the cumulative grade point
average divide the total points earned
by the total credits carried in all
semesters,
When a course is
repeated, count only the credits
carried and the points of the last
grade earned. Thus, successfully
repeating courses in which students

initially earned a D or F is an
effective way for them to improve
their cumulative GPA. A cumulative
grade point average of 2.00 for all
credits carried is required for
graduation.
Further, the student
must compile a 2.00 grade point
average for all departmental courses
required in the student’s major and
minor(s).

Incomplete grades (I):

An

incomplete grade is given only when
students, because of circumstances
beyond their control, are unable to
complete a segment of the course. It
must be made up by the date
speciFied by the instructor which
must be within a maximum of two
semesters in residence, or else the
incomplete grade becomes a failure.
Summer semesters are not counted
unless a student is enrolled for
classes during the summer.

No Grade (N) and
Withdrawal (W) grades: An
N grade will be given for each
course officially dropped during the

ACADEMIC POLICIES • 20

�first five weeks and a W grade will
be given for each course officially
dropped after the five week drop
period.
Deferred grades (Z): Deferred
grades are given in those special
courses where work is planned to
extend beyond a single semester.
GRADE REPORTS. Reports
concerning grades and credits are
sent to each student after each
semester. These reports are mailed
to home addresses.
DEAN’S LIST. Students who
complete twelve or more credits in a
semester with a grade point average
of 3.50 or higher will be placed on
the dean’s list for that semester,
acknowledging their outstanding
achievement.

ACADEMIC
PROBATION
Students at Lake Superior State
University enjoy a considerable
degree of self-determination; they
decide for themselves when and how
long to work on each assignment.
The best way to succeed in this task
is to work out a weekly schedule
with two hours of study time
earmarked as preparation for each
one-hour class. (In a few cases, the
instructor may suggest some other
division of time.)
Most students are able to maintain
good work in all their courses. A
few fall short of satisfactory
performance. For them, a system of
academic probation is used.
Academic probation is considered a
warning to students that their
scholastic performance is below the
University’s minimum requirements.

During this period, students should
determine for themselves whether to
continue their programs as planned.
No student while on probation shall
carry more than 15 credits per
semester exclusive of band and
The
recreational activities.
Executive Vice-president, in
consultation with the student’s
advisor, may impose restrictions on
the student’s extra-curricular
activities.
It is the responsibility of students to
familiarize themselves with all

relating to probation, and to keep
informed as to their academic

3. After a first or second dismissal
a student has the following
options:
a. Allow two semesters
(summer may be counted for
one semester) to elapse
before re-enrollment or
b. Petition the Scholastic

will not be reinstated without the
permission of the Vice President
for Academic Affairs. Three
semesters must elapse from the
time of dismissal before the
student may petition for

counted for one semester.
6. The Scholastic Standards
Committee may, on the
recommendation of a department
head require students to withdraw
from any course or courses in
which their preparation, progress,
effort or conduct is deemed
unsatisfactory and may on the
recommendation of the Vice
President of Academic Affairs
and/or Executive Vice President
dismiss students from the
University if their background,
overall academic accomplish­

CREDIT/NO
CREDIT COURSES
To encourage intellectual explor­
ation, students may enroll in some
courses on a credit/no credit basis
for which either a grade of CR or
NCR is given. To be eligible for
this option students must be in good

ACADEMIC POLICIES 22

�academic standing, not on academic
probation. Only one such course per
semester is permitted and no more
than twelve semester credits in such
courses may be presented toward a
student’s degree requirements.
Additionally, this credit/no credit
option may not be selected in
courses which satisfy major, minor
or general education requirements.
Students must apply at the
Registrar’s Office during the six-day
add period if they want to enroll in a
graded course under the credit/no
credit policy. This option may not
be changed after the six-day add
period. Academic performance at
the level of 2.00 or higher is
required for the credit, CR, grade.
Instructors are not advised of a
student’s option to be graded
credit/no credit.
Certain courses are always offered
with a credit/no credit grading
format.
Such courses have this
information in their official course
descriptions and course syllabi. The
above policy and limitations do not
apply to these courses.

CREDIT BY
EXAMINATION
There are three examination
processes by which a student may
earn credit for individual courses or
general education requirements;
Advanced Placement, CLEP and
departmental examinations.
Pro­
cesses for taking Advanced
Placement and CLEP examinations
are described in the Admissions
section of this Catalog. Students
must be admitted to a degree
program before being eligible to
receive credit by examination. A
maximum of 30 credits may be
CLEP
earned by examination,
examinations, if available, will be
used to determine whether credit

shall be granted. Departments may
provide their own examinations for
certain courses. Students should
inquire at the academic department
offering the course whether a
departmental examination is
available.
If an examination is
available, the department head’s
written approval to take the
examination must be obtained.
An application form for credit by
examination with explanation of the
necessary procedural steps, may be
obtained from the department head
or the Registrar’s Office. The fee
amount will be equivalent to that for
CLEP exams and students will not
be charged tuition for the credits
earned. An examination grade of
2.00 or better is required for credit to
be earned. Course and credit earned
by examination shall be recorded on
the student’s transcript with the
Some
grade marked as CR.
universities may not accept for
transfer, credit earned by
departmental examination.

TRANSCRIPTS
Students desiring transcripts of their
Lake Superior State University
records must present or send a
written request to the Registrar’s
Office. Information such as name
(at enrollment), ID number, dates of
attendance is necessary. A fee may
be charged for each copy of the
record.
The official record of the student’s
academic progress (transcript) will
be forwarded only to those places or
persons requested in writing by the
student.
Only "student copy"
transcripts will be issued directly to
a student. Students with financial or
other obligations to the University
will not receive a transcript until all
obligations are cleared.

ACADEMIC POLICIES 23

�THE PRIVACY ACT
Section 438 of the General
Education Provisions Act, as
amended, sets forth the requirements
to be met by an educational
institution to protect the privacy of
students. This Act is called the
Family Educational Rights and
Privacy Act and shall be referred to
hereafter as the Act. The Act
generally governs access to student
educational records and the release
of such records. The Act also
requires that institutions of higher
education must provide students
access to official records directly
related to the student and an
opportunity for a hearing to
challenge such records on the

residence occupied while in
attendance at the university or be

(see Section 10A) specifying the
record to be disclosed, and the
reason that a personal inspection
of the record cannot be made
during the 45-day compliance
period.

copies are required as opposed to
personal inspection.

of Section 10B regarding records
to officials of another educational
institution in which the student is
enrolled or seeks or intends to
enroll.

�STUDENT
OF BEHAVIOR
MEMBERSHIP IN THE UNIVERSITY COMMUNITY carries
with it both privileges and responsibilities. The University cannot
accept acts that interfere with the basic process of the academic
enterprise, nor acts which interfere with the rights of other members
of its community. Following are the basic regulations which govern
the behavior and conduct on the Lake Superior State University
campus:
1. ASSEMBLY: No person, or
persons, shall assemble in a manner
which obstructs the free movement
of persons about the campus, or the
free and normal use of University
buildings and facilities, or prevents
or obstructs the normal operation of
the University.
2. ALCOHOL AND DRUGS:
Any student found guilty of being
under the influence of drugs, or
possessing, or selling drugs or
narcotics will be subject to
immediate dismissal from the
University.
Any student who
disregards the laws of the State
regarding drinking as a minor is
subject to disciplinary action
including fines, or dismissal for
repeated offenses. A student of 21
years of age who purchases alcoholic
beverages for minors, or who
participates in any way, faces not
only legal action from the State but
additional penalty from the
University.
The laws of the State of Michigan
prohibit the sale of alcoholic
beverages on any unlicensed
premise. No alcohol may be offered
for sale on any unlicensed portion of

the University campus, and no
hidden fee (such as admissions
charges, charges for food, etc.) may
be used to hide or conceal a charge
Any
for alcoholic beverages,
organization, group, or individual
offering alcohol to others anywhere
on the campus shall be required to
follow provisions of the University’s
alcohol policy, distributed annually
to all campus residents. Violators
may suffer loss of campus privileges,
disciplinary action by the University,
and prosecution by civil authorities.
3. CHEATING AND PLAGIA­
RISM: The assumption of the
academic contract is that the student
does his or her own work: any
breach of the contract is considered
cheating. The faculty member who
detects a student cheating may take
appropriate action, such as assigning
a failing grade for the entire course.
A student who cheats is subject to
dismissal from the University. If, in
the opinion of the faculty member
involved, such action is warranted,
he or she will notify the chairman of
the scholastic standards committee
and the student to that effect in
writing. The scholastic standards

STUDENT STANDARDS 34

�STANDARDS
AND CONDUCT
committee will then conduct a
hearing in such a manner that the
student is given due process. If the
committee decides that dismissal is
warranted, the student shall have five
school days to appeal that decision to
the president of the University.
4. COMPLIANCE WITH UNI­
VERSITY OFFICIALS: Students
are expected to comply with the
directions of University officials who
are acting in accordance with the
performance of their duties. Failure
to comply with such directions shall
be considered a serious disciplinary
violation.
5. FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS:
A student’s fees, loans, fines, driving
and parking penalties, etc. are his or
her responsibilities and must be paid
when due. Delay in attention to
financial responsibilities may require
some or all of the following actions
by the University: it may withhold
official transcripts, prohibit further
registration, remove registration if
already granted, withhold further
forms of financial aid, and in severe
cases, seek legal action from outside
agencies, including the State of
Michigan itself.
6. FIREARMS AND EXPLO­
SIVES: Explosives, firecrackers,
concealed weapons and similar items
are not permitted on campus.
Firearms are permitted, but must be
registered and stored by the office of
campus security. Any student who
keeps firearms anywhere in the

dormitory system will face dismissal
from the University.
7. GUEST SPEAKERS: Only
student organizations formally
recognized by the University may
invite speakers to the campus.
Reservations for rooms or lecture
halls for guest speakers are made
through the director of student
activities.
8. HOUSING: University housing
regulations are published annually in
the Housing Handbook. Students
failing to comply with these
regulations may suffer a variety of
disciplinary penalties, including
separation from the housing system
or separation from the University
itself.
9. I.D. CARDS: All students
enrolled in this institution are issued
an identification card to facilitate
recognition for the library, for
cashing checks, for campus voting,
for admission to campus activities,
etc. Misuse or alteration of the
University identification card, current
or expired, is considered a serious
offense subject to disciplinary action.
10. PARKING: All students who
operate motor vehicles on campus
must register them each year
(normally accomplished during
registration).
Annual registration
decals will be issued upon payment
of fees and evidence of a valid
operator’s license. All vehicles (with
decals attached) must be parked in

STUDENT STANDARDS 35

�areas assigned. Parking and traffic
ordinances will be enforced and
violators will be assessed fines and
may have their campus registration
and campus driving privileges
revoked,
Special parking
arrangements can be made for health
and personal hardship reasons at the
Administration Building Parking
Office. Parking and traffic violations
arc civil infractions and may be
referred to 91st District Court.
11. RECORDS: It is the specific
responsibility of the student to give
honest and complete replies to all
questions included in application
forms, financial aid forms, and in all
other University documents. Failure
to give correct and complete
information can result in cancellation
of the student’s registration. Forgery
or alteration on or of any University
document or record can result in the
separation of the student from the
University.
12. STUDENT NOTICES:
Student notices, posters, etc. must be
cleared for posting by the Center for
Student Services before being placed
on bulletin boards. Maintenance
personnel have been instructed to
remove all unauthorized material
from bulletin boards each day.
Normally posters and notices will not
exceed 17“ by 22“ in size.
13. STUDENT
ORGANIZATIONS: No student
organizations may use campus
facilities to solicit funds, or schedule
activities unless such organizations
have been approved by the
University. Approval of University
clubs and their operations must be in
accordance with University policies.
No organization which practices
either racial or sexual discrimination
will receive support, either directly
or indirectly from the University.

14. THEFT:
Property of the
University, as well as that of
individuals, must be respected.
Theft of any kind, whether of money
or of other property, is prohibited.
The destruction or mutilation of
books, magazines, or other library
material will not be tolerated. Theft
of, damage to, or destruction of the
property of others is considered a
serious offense against the University
community, and will result in the
separation of the student from the
University.
15. TREATMENT OF OTHERS:
Abuse, either physical or verbal, of
any person on University-owned or
controlled property, or at Universitysponsored or supervised functions,
will result in disciplinary action by
the University. No conduct will be
permitted which threatens or
endangers the health or safety of any
person on the University campus or
at University related activities.
Lake Superior State University and
its Board of Regents subscribe to the
principles of equal opportunity and
non-discrimination and complies with
all applicable federal and state laws
and regulations prohibiting
discrimination, including harassment.
The University is committed to the
protection of the rights of all
individuals within the University
community, the equal and fair
treatment of all individuals, and to
the elimination of barriers that would
prevent individuals from reaching
their highest potential
It is the responsibility of all
employees, students and members of
the University community to uphold
this commitment in the daily
activities of University life.

STUDENT STANDARDS 36

�ADMISSIONS
FRESHMEN
A prospective freshman still in high
school may make application to Lake
Superior State University any time
during the final year of high school.
Applications for admission are
processed continuously and students
are notified as quickly as possible.
A final transcript of courses
completed during the final year must
be submitted to the Admissions
Office promptly after completion of
the school year. Failure to provide a
final transcript may result in the
withdrawal or an offer of admission.
An official score report from
American College Testing (ACT)
must also be submitted prior to class
registration.
A prospective freshman who has
already graduated from high school
but not attended any college or
university must have an official
transcript sent directly from the high
school to the Admissions Office.
The transcript must include all
courses taken, starting with grade
nine, and graduation certification.
Admitted applicants who graduated
from high school fewer than 26
months prior to the date they wish to
enter the University must submit
their scores from American College
Testing (ACT) prior to registering
for classes.
The' primary factor in evaluating an
application for admission is the
individual’s grade point average in
academic subjects only. The grade
point average for each applicant is
recalculated, starting with grade nine,
and includes only academic courses
such as English, biology, chemistry,
physics, algebra, geometry,
trigonometry, senior math, social
studies, and foreign languages.

Seventy-five percent of the freshmen
entering LSSU have an overall high
school grade point average of 2.47 or
higher. The top 25 percent of the
entering freshmen have an overall
high school grade point averages of
3.18 or higher. The admissions
requirements for students entering
any major offered by the Biology
and Chemistry Department are
slightly higher than the minimum to
gain admission to the University.
Secondary factors which may also
influence the admission decision are
the number of academic courses an
applicant has completed, the trend
from year to year of the applicant’s
grades, class rank, and
recommendations. ACT scores are
rarely a factor in the admissions
decision.
All credentials should be submitted
to the Admissions Office at least
three weeks before the semester of
entry. However, if available spaces
become filled, application processing
will end at an earlier date.
To qualify for admission as
freshmen, applicants are expected to
be graduates of accredited secondary
schools. Any student graduating
from a non-accredited school should
contact the Dean of Admissions for
an explanation of the testing
procedure used to evaluate an
applicant who has attended a nonaccredited school.
Students denied admission may
reapply for admission after attending
another accredited college of their
choice and earning at least 30
semester (45 quarter) hours of
transferable credit. The evaluation
for admission is then based upon the
college record rather than the high
school record.

to admitted students must be com­
pleted by the student or by the stud­
ent’s parent and returned to the
University’s Health Services Office.
Enter your social security number in
the appropriate space in your appli­
cation. It will serve as your perma­
nent student number. If you do not
wish to provide this number, an al­
ternate student number will be as­
signed. However, please be aware
the agency processing financial aid
applications will not process any aid
application which does not include
the student’s social security number.
Students who do not have social secu­
rity numbers or have lost their social
security card should contact the So­
cial Security Administration prompt­
ly. Canadian applicants should not
use their Social Insurance number.
A 9-digit student number will be
assigned to Canadians and other
foreign students.

Along with an application for
admission, students must have sent
to our Admissions Office an official
high school transcript or GED
scores, and an official transcript from
each school where college or
university credit has been earned or
attempted. For students with more
than 30 semester hours (or 45
quarter hours) of college credit, the
high school transcript/GED will be
used only to verify graduation.
Official transcripts may be obtained
from the respective high school’s
guidance office or college’s
College
Registrar’s Office,
transcripts must bear the registrar’s
signature and raised seal or stamp of
the college to be considered official.
Transcripts must be mailed to the
Admissions Office at Lake Superior
State University directly from the
issuing institution. Transcripts sent
via facsimile machine are not
considered official. All transcripts
become the property of Lake
Superior State University and are not
returnable. Students whose names
have changed since they attended
another institution must indicate this
when requesting transcripts from
high schools or colleges.
Each
transcript should bear the student’s
current name.
The application and all transcripts
should be submitted at least 30 days
prior to the beginning of the
semester of entry.
However, if
available spaces become filled,
processing of applications will end at
an earlier date.

ADMISSIONS 40

�A transfer applicant denied
admission because the college grade
point average is less than 2.0 (on a
scale of 4.0) is encouraged to
reapply if, after taking additional
college course work, the cumulative
grade point average improves to
greater than 2.0.

CREDIT EVALUATIONS:
Because the process is very time
consuming, evaluation of transfer
credit is not made until an applicant
is accepted for admission. However,
every effort is made to provide an
evaluation of transfer credit as
quickly as possible after admission.
Students planning to transfer to Lake
Superior State University can, by

reviewing the course descriptions
included in the Lake Superior State
University catalog, arrive at a
reasonably close approximation of
the amount of transfer credit they
may expect to receive.
While
making this informal evaluation,
students should keep in mind transfer
credit is granted for courses which
are substantially equivalent in
content, length, and prerequisites to
the courses offered at this University.
D grades will be transferred only for
individuals meeting both of the
following conditions:
1. having a 2.00 or greater
cumulative grade point average;
and

AMERICAN COLLEGE TESTING (ACT)
AH freshmen who enroll within 26 months of high school graduation and have not attended
another college must take the American College Test. The results should be forwarded to Lake
Superior State University (code number 2031) prior to registering for classes.
United States residents applying for academic scholarships at Lake Superior State University
must take the ACT no later than February of their senior year and have results forwarded to
Lake Superior State University prior to the April 1 scholarship application deadline.
Transfer students entering Lake Superior within 26 months of high school graduation and
having less than 15 semester or 23 quarter hours of credit must also take the ACT prior to the
beginning of classes in August. Transfer students required to take the ACT are encouraged to
take it early enough for the results to be available to the University when they schedule their
first semester’s classes.
Canadian students who enter the University within 26 months of high school graduation are
required to take the ACT. Completion of OAC credits does not exempt Ontario students from
this requirement.
ACT scores are used primarily for counseling and placement purposes and are not ordinarily
used as admissions criteria. However, the ACT may be required prior to making an admissions
decision if additional information is deemed necessary.
The ACT is given nationally five times a year at many locations, including our campus.
Information bulletins and registration forms for the ACT are available at high school counseling
offices by writing American College Testing Program, P.O. Box 168, Iowa City, Iowa 52243, or
by contacting the Lake Superior State University Counseling and Testing Center.
Entering students required to submit their ACT results who have not taken the ACT during
one of the five national test dates will take the ACT during orientation in August.

�2. upon initial application being
eligible for, or being granted,
unconditional admission as a full­
time student on the basis of their

Courses with D grades accepted as
transfer credit may not apply to all
departments,
Some academic
departments do not accept transferred
D grades as replacements for courses
required as part of the departmental
major.
In those cases, the
departmental major courses involved
must be repeated. However, courses
not accepted by a department may be
applied as elective credit where
possible.
Initial transfer credit evaluations
indicating which Lake Superior State
University courses and how many
credits will be granted to the student
are completed by either the
Admissions or Registrar’s offices.
These initial evaluations are subject
to review and possible modification
by the head of the academic
department offering the equivalent
course. The academic department
head’s decision on courses and
amounts of transfer credit granted
may be appealed by the student to
the Vice President for Academic
Affairs.

ELECTIVE CREDIT: If a
course taken at another institution is
not offered at the University, elective
credit may be granted for that
course. Elective credits may be
applied toward the number of credits
required to receive a degree but may
not be used to satisfy any specific
course requirement.
PROVISIONAL

CREDIT:

Credit earned at any institution not
listed as accredited in the American
Council of Education’s publication,
Accredited Institutions of Post-

secondary Education, is granted
provisionally. Only after students
demonstrate satisfactory progress in
their chosen academic programs at
Lake Superior State University do
provisional credits become part of
students’ permanent records.

MACRAO AGREEMENT:
Community college graduates
granted admission to the University
who possess baccalaureate-oriented
associate of arts or science degrees,
with the MACRAO stamp on their
transcripts, will be recognized as
having completed the general
education requirements at Lake
Superior State University. Graduates
of Michigan and other community
colleges with other associate degrees,
e.g., applied science, applied
business, applied technology, and
applied health will be required to
complete all remaining Lake
Superior State University general
education requirements.
Students who transfer to Lake
Superior State University will be
required to satisfy all conditions of
their selected majors and minors as
well as degree requirements.

complete an academic major at Lake
Superior State University is 30
semester hours. Some departments
require more. The minimum amount
of credits in a major that must be
earned at Lake Superior State
University varies. Before enrolling,
students should contact the academic
department which includes the
intended major to determine this
amount.

Superior State University courses.

FORMER
STUDENTS
Former full-time Lake Superior State
University students who interrupted
their enrollments for one or more
semesters, except summer, must
apply for readmission prior to the
semester of intended reentry.
Students apply by obtaining a re­
admission application from the
Admissions Office. There is no
application processing fee for
students seeking readmission.
However, applicants who have
attended another college since
leaving Lake Superior State
University must have official
transcripts sent from the college
attended and meet the terms of the
University’s transfer student
admissions policy.

GUEST STUDENTS
A student who is regularly enrolled
at another college or university may
be admitted to Lake Superior State
University as a guest student. A
guest admission is valid for only one
semester. However, under exten-

uating circumstances this may be
extended for one additional semester
by submitting another guest
application. Any student intending
to enroll for more than one semester
must submit an application for
admission as a transfer student.
Guest student applications may be
obtained from the Admissions Office
at Lake Superior State University or
any other college or university in
Michigan. Guest students assume
full responsibility for determining
whether courses taken at Lake
Superior State University will apply
to their programs of study at the
college from which they intend to
graduate.

CANADIAN
STUDENTS
Lake Superior State University
welcomes applications from Canada.
Ontario students applying on the
basis of their high school records are
evaluated on their grade point
average in academic subjects only.
The grade point average for each
applicant is recalculated, starting
with grade nine and including only
academic subjects.
The Admissions Office uses two
grading scales, shown below, when
evaluating an Ontario secondary
school applicant. OAC and A level
courses are considered more
demanding and their content more
appropriate preparation for
university-level courses than are G
level courses. B level courses are
never included in the recalculated
academic grade point average.

Secondary factors which may also
influence the admission decision are
the number of academic courses an
applicant has completed, the trend
from year to year of the applicant’s
grades, and recommendations.
A report of ACT scores is required
from all Ontario secondary school
students. ACT scores are used for
counseling and placement purposes,
rather than as a factor in the
admissions decision.
Additional information for Ontario
secondary school students is
available in Informational Handbook
for Ontario Students and Guidance
Counselors, published by the
Admissions Office.
Canadian applicants from provinces
other than Ontario are also welcome
and will be evaluated on the basis of
the education system in their
provinces.

ONTARIO GRADE
13/OAC COURSES
Students who completed grade 13 or
OAC courses before September,
1990 receive transfer credit at the

University for each course in which
a final mark of at least 60 percent
was earned. Transfer credit will not
be granted for OAC courses
completed after that date. However,
completion of OAC courses prepares
some students to earn credit through
testing. Up to 30 semester hours of
credit may be earned by achieving
satisfactory scores on CLEP tests
and departmental examinations given
on the campus. If information about
CLEP tests and departmental tests
offered by the University is not
available at your high school
guidance office, please contact the
Admissions Office.

PART-TIME
ENROLLMENT
Students wishing to attend on a parttime basis may enroll for up to
eleven credits per semester in
courses
for which they have
sufficient academic background.
Unless students have special
permission from their principals,
part-time enrollment is limited to
those whose high school classes have
already graduated,
Part-time
students not seeking degrees or
certificates, are not required to apply
formally for admission prior to
enrollment.
A course registration form must be
completed during the registration
period for each semester of
attendance.
These forms are
available through the University’s
Scheduling and Continuing
Education offices.
Should a part-time student later
desire full-time enrollment (12 or
more credits per semester), or elect
to seek degree/certificate status, the

ADMISSIONS 45

�student must submit a completed
application for admission with a $20
non-refundable application
processing fee, have the required
official transcripts sent to the
Admissions Office and meet all
admission requirements for Lake
Superior State University.
Part-time students are not officially
assigned to faculty advisors.
However, they are encouraged to
seek assistance in selecting courses
from the appropriate academic
departments.
Some who have been denied
admission are permitted by the
Admissions Committee to attend the
University as non-admitted, part-time
students, then later ask to be
reconsidered for admission. The
grades earned as part-time students
become an additional factor when
reconsidering the students’
applications for admission.
It is the responsibility of students
electing to attend the University parttime, seeking reconsideration for
admission, to make certain they are
aware of all the conditions for
reconsideration the Admissions
Committee has established. Upon
request, the Admissions Office will
provide a sheet titled
"Reconsideration for Admission to
Lake Superior State University
(LSSU) on the Basis of Part-Time
Study" which details the
requirements attached to this
opportunity.
The requirements for using part-time
enrollment at the University as a
method for being reconsidered for
admission are:
1. In one semester, the student must
take nine to eleven credits of
academic subjects only. Recre-

ational activities, skill courses such
as keyboarding, and remedial courses
such as intermediate algebra are not
considered academic courses for this
purpose.
2. The student must earn a final
grade of at least "C" in every
course, and may not withdraw
from or drop a course after the
standard drop-add period. A
student receiving an "I" grade
will not be eligible for
reconsideration until the "I" has
been changed to a standard grade
(A, B, or C) by the instructor.
3. If a student has been
academically dismissed from
another college or university, at
least 12 months must have
passed before the start of the
semester for which
reconsideration for admission is
being sought.
As soon as the grades are available
for the semester, the student may
make an appointment to see the
Dean of Admissions to be
reconsidered for admission.

CONCURRENT
ENROLLMENT FOR HIGH
SCHOOL STUDENTS

school students may benefit from
taking university courses while still
enrolled full-time in high school,
Lake Superior State University
permits selected high school students
to take specific courses at the
University on a part-time basis.
Prior to a student registering for any
class a Concurrent Enrollment
Request form must be completed by
the student’s parent. The form is
available and must be returned to the
Scheduling Office.

LODGING/FOOD
MODERN HOUSING facilities
are available for both men and
women. All students (enrolled for

12 hours or more) attending Lake
Superior State University must
comply with this housing policy:
All unmarried, non-veteran students
(enrolled for 12 hours or more) who
are within twenty-seven calendar
months of the date of their
graduation from high school (for this
purpose, all high school graduation
dates shall be assumed to be June 1
in any given year) must reside in a
University residence hall, with the
following exceptions:
STUDENTS living with their
parents within reasonable commuting
distance.
STUDENTS exempted by the
housing director when residence hall
space is filled.
STUDENTS with unusual
financial or health problems who are
exempted by the executive vicepresident.
To permit adjustments to local
housing problems, the University
reserves the right to assign all
students within the residence halls.
Room, residence hall, and apartment
preferences are considered according
to the dates of receipt of application,
with freshmen ordinarily given
priority in residence hall assignments
and upperclassmen being given
priority in apartment assignments.
The University recognized that the
need for an exception to the policy
stated above may occasionally arise.
Student requests for permission to
live off campus will be considered
by the executive vice-president.
Should a student request permission
to live off campus for financial
reasons, the executive vice-president
shall apply the following criteria to
his or her request:

�" FINANCIAL hardship" shall be
defined for this purpose as a
situation in which the total resources
of the student and family added to
the total financial aid available from
the University do not equal the dollar
amount budgeted by the financial
aids office as the minimum required
for on-campus residency. In such a
situation, the student will be
considered to face two alternatives:
a.) withdrawing from the dormitory
or b.) withdrawing from the
University.
AN EXAMPLE OF a student
who might be released from the
dormitory under the above definition
would be one whose financial
situation changed suddenly during
the year (perhaps due to the death of
a parent) and who applies for
assistance, after the aids program is
depleted.
A complete and modem cafeteria is
located in Canusa Hall. The Cisler
Center has a snack bar, informal
lounges and recreational areas.
A number of modem student
apartments are available on campus.
Married students or groups of single
students desiring living accom­
modations should contact the housing
manager.
The Student Village and Townhouse
units were constructed with a loan
from the Federal Government which
is to be repaid from the room rentals.
The University Board of Regents, in
obtaining this loan agreed to provide
for maximum occupancy and use of
the buildings.
As a result, the
University reserves the right to
transfer students to the Townhouses
or the Student Village during the
year.
To avoid unnecessary
inconvenience, such transfers are
normally made between semesters.

COUNSELING/
TESTING
ALL STUDENTS are encour­
aged to avail themselves of the
counseling and testing services.
Several professional counselors are
available at the student counseling
center to assist students with their
academic, personal, or vocational
problems.
A complete vocational testing and
counseling program, which has
proven throughout the years to be
invaluable in helping students assess
their interests and potentials, is
available to all students to help them
decide upon their educational and
career goals.
The center maintains a complete file
of individual test folders, which
includes all orientation test results
for our students. Those who wish to
have their scores interpreted may
make an appointment with a
counselor at the counseling center.
If the results are inconclusive you
may wish to submit application for
the complete vocational testing
battery.
Tutoring services are also offered
through the counseling center.
Student tutors are available to help
individually those students who
request special help in their courses.
No fee is charged for this service.
Growth group sessions are scheduled
periodically for students who are
interested in personal and social
growth through the group dynamics
of interpersonal relationships.
Anyone interested in participating
should stop by the counseling center.
The student counseling center is
open Monday through Friday from 8

�FINANCIAL AID
THE UNIVERSITY STRIVES to reward the scholar and to
meet the needs of the many students who apply for financial
assistance. A combination of University, state and federal programs
enable many students to receive a "financial aid package" which may
include a combination of scholarship, loan, grant, and/or work
assistance. Priority in aid awards will be to full-time undergraduate
students.
All students should carefully consider the full cost of their education,
parental support, and savings, including savings from summer
employment, in determining their need for financial aid. Students
with excellent high school or community college grades are
encouraged to apply for scholarships regardless of need. Students
with need will be considered for loans, grants, and/or employment on
the basis of need established from the Financial Aid Form (FAF) or
Family Financial Statement (FFS).
Applications for all financial aid programs are available from the
office of student financial aid. The staff of this office will be happy
to counsel with applicants and their parents concerning the costs of
attending the University, availability of financial aid, and application
procedures.
All applications for financial aid must be received by April 1. Financial
Statements (FAF or FFS) must be postmarked on or before March 1.

Students enrolled for less than 6

credits count as one-half semester.
Students are reviewed annually (at
the completion of Spring Semester)
in regards to credits completed.
Students who do not meet the
completion schedule are considered
as not making satisfactory progress
and their financial aid is suspended
for subsequent semesters.
Once financial aid is suspended, both
the GPA and credit completion
criteria must be met in subsequent
semesters before reinstatement of aid
is possible.
If completion of "1" grades or other
record changes warrant a
reinstatement, a written notice from
the Registrar’s Office must be
presented to the Financial Aid Office
by the end of the semester following
suspension of aid.
Summer school attendance may be
used by the student to remove grade
point or credit earned deficiencies.
Students must file a request for
reinstatement with the Financial Aid
Office following the successful
completion of a summer term.

FINANCIAL AID
SUSPENSION
No aid, including but not limited to
the Stafford Student Loan, Perkins
Student Loan, College Work-Study,
Supplemental Educational
Opportunity Grant, Pell Grant,
Michigan Competitive Scholarship,
and Institutional Scholarships and
Grants, will be granted once a
student’s eligibility is suspended. To
remove financial aid suspension
status, a student must have attained
the minimum cumulative grade point
average and credit earned
requirements while not receiving
financial aid processed through the
University. Successful students then
must advise the Financial Aid Office
in writing that they meet the
requirements for reinstatement.

TRANSFER STUDENTS
The requirements for transfer
students are based on the number of
full-time equivalent credits
transferred to LSSU. For example,
a student with 68 transfer credits
must earn a G.P.A. of 1.93 or higher
and must earn at least 16 credits
after two semesters of study.

MICHIGAN
COMPETITIVE
SCHOLARSHIPS
THESE STATE scholarships
range from $100 to $1,200 at Lake
Superior State University.
Applicants must:
1. have been continuous residents of
Michigan for a 12-month period
prior to July 1, 1992;

PELL Grants
For most students, Federal student
aid begins with PELL Grants, which
provide a foundation of financial
assistance to which other forms of
aid may be added. A distinguishing
feature of this program is its central
concept of "entitlement," which
guarantees that students who
demonstrate need will receive a grant
based on that need and on the cost
of education at the post-secondary
school they choose to attend.
PELL Grants for the award
period (July 1, 1992 to June 30,
1993) will range up to $2,400 as
determined by a standard formula.

2. be a high school graduate;
3. participate in the National
American College Test (ACT)
and attain a qualifying score;
not have engaged in any
university, normal school, junior
college, or other advanced
training following graduation
from high school and prior to the
qualifying examination;
5. have complied with all other
provisions of the law and rules
and regulations adopted by the
authority; and
6. demonstrate financial need.
Student must be in good
standing, have at least a 2.00
grade point average and meet
satisfactory progress requirements
to renew a scholarship. High
school seniors must obtain ACT
test registration materials from
their high school counselor and
mail them prior to the deadline
for the October ACT exami­
nation.

TO BE ELIGIBLE for a PELL
Grant, students must:
1. be determined to have financial
need based on the PELL Grant
eligibility formula and the cost of
their education;
2. be undergraduates accepted for
admission and enrolled at least
half-time in eligible programs at
eligible institutions;
3. be U.S. citizens or permanent
residents;
4. not have used their full eligibility
for PELL Grants;
5. not in default on a Stafford or
Perkins Student Loan, and not
owe a refund for a PELL or
S.E.O.G.;
6. maximum eligibility is limited to
five academic years for first-time
recipients in 1987-88 and after.
Although most students are paid
their awards through the school,

FINANCIAL AID • 76

�the U.S. Dept, of Education
determines their eligibility. The
University financial aid office
uses a standard procedure
established by the Dept, of
Education to calculate the amount
of the award.
STUDENT eligibility is
determined on the basis of a formula
developed annually by the Dept, of
Education and reviewed by
Congress. This formula is applied
consistently to all applicants and
takes into account indicators of
financial strength such as income,
assets, family size.
The formula uses the information
provided on the application to
produce eligibility index numbers.
These numbers are not dollar figures,
but are used, along with the cost of
student education, to determine the
actual amount of grants.

SUPPLEMENTAL
EDUCATIONAL
OPPORTUNITY
GRANTS
THE HIGHER Education Act of
1965 created this program of
financial assistance to college
students from exceptionally needy
The Supplemental
families.
Educational Opportunity Grants may
be used to meet all or part of student
financial need (up to $4000 in any
one year), with the exact amount
being proportional to the support that
can reasonably be expected from
their families.
Financial need is the primary
consideration in the selection of
grant recipients. Priority is given to
Pell Grant recipients. Academically,
it is only necessary to gain
admission to the University in order
to be eligible for the grant.
Recipients are selected from among
those applying for all forms of
financial aid.

TO APPLY, applicants must
complete Financial Aid Forms (FAF)
or Family Financial Statements
(FFS) or Application for Federal
Student Aid (AFSA) and forward
them to the processor listed on the
form. Forms are available at high
schools, colleges, and financial aid
offices.

Recipients of this award must
reapply each year and maintain the
regular satisfactory progress
standards in order to be considered
for a renewal award.

THE
BOARD
OF
REGENTS GRANT Program
provides financial assistance to both
incoming students and currently
enrolled students based upon
financial need. Preference for the
grant is given to those whose
financial need is greater than onehalf the cost of education.
Recipients must be Michigan
residents enrolled full-time.

MICHIGAN ADULT Parttime Grant: Established in 1986

LOANS
Perkins Loans
(National Direct
Student Loans)
THE PERKINS Student Loan
program is for vocational,
undergraduate, and graduate students
who are enrolled at least half-time in
a participating postsecondary
institution and who need a loan to
meet their educational expenses.
STUDENTS
MAY
BORROW up to $4,500 if they
are enrolled in vocational programs
or have completed less than two
years of a program leading to a
bachelor’s degree; $9,000 if they are
undergraduates who have already
completed two years of study toward
a bachelor’s degree (this total
includes any amount borrowed under
NDSL for the first two years of
study); and $18,000 for graduate or
professional study (this total includes
any Supplemental Educational
Opportunity Grants they borrowed
under NDSL for undergraduate
study).

REPAYMENT begins six
months (nine months for new
borrowers after July 1, 1987) after
students graduate or leave school for
other reasons. Students may be
allowed up to ten years to pay back
the loan, and during the repayment
period they will be charged five
percent interest on the unpaid
balance of the loan principal.
The amount of the repayment
depends upon the size of the debt
and ability to pay; but in most cases,
students must pay at least $30 a
month unless the school agrees to a
lesser amount. This agreement for a
lesser amount may be due to
extraordinary circumstances such as
prolonged unemployment.
DEFAULT: If students default
on a Perkins Loan and the school is
unable to collect, the Federal
Government will take action to
recover the loan. If such students
are discharged in bankruptcy,
become totally or permanently
disabled or die, loan obligations will
be canceled.

plan to complete degree requirements and graduate, they must submit to the
Registrar’s Office an appropriate departmental degree audit for each major and
minor, and, a declaration of candidacy for degree. The necessary forms are
available at students’ major departmental office.
The departmental degree audit for a
student’s major or minor specifies all
required courses which have been or
must be completed. The audit must
be signed by the department head of
the department offering the major or
minor program. Course substitutions
and waivers of departmental degree
program requirements may be
granted only by the head of the
department offering the major or
minor program.
Exceptions to
specific General Education
requirements may be granted only by
the Scholastic Standards Committee.
Such exceptions are infrequently
made. A petition for exceptions to
General Education requirements is
initiated with the Registrar.

The names of
each semester,
students who are listed in the annual
commencement program are also
compiled from declaration of
candidacy forms. Students will not
be listed in the commencement
program unless their degree
candidacy form is filed with the
Registrar’s Office six weeks prior to
Students are
commencement,
expected to attend commencement
exercises unless excused by the
Students
Registrar’s Office,
completing degree requirements
during the summer may participate
in commencement the previous
semester if their degree candidacy
form is received six weeks prior to
commencement.

The Registrar’s Office checks
students’ degree audits, after which
a preliminary verification of the
degree audit is sent to each student
and respective department head.
Students are responsible for
examining this verification and
requesting clarification of anything
which is not consistent with their
records or understanding.

After grades are received in the
Registrar’s Office at the end of each
semester, degree audits will be
updated for all students completing
credit and who have a degree
candidacy form on file. When all
requirements specified on the degree
audit are fulfilled the department
head and Registrar give a final
approval. Names of these graduates
are then sent by the Registrar to the
President for Board of Regents
approval. Subsequently, a diploma
is provided to each student.

From the declaration of candidacy
for degree forms submitted by
students, the Registrar’s Office
creates a potential graduate list for

GRADUATION PROCEDURES 87

�DEGREE REQ
LAKE SUPERIOR STATE UNIVERSITY offers bachelor’s (also called
baccalaureate) degrees, associate degrees, and certificates. These degrees are
offered in a wide variety of academic programs. Each academic department has
a set of specific courses and other requirements for each of its degree programs.
These are stated later in this Catalog in the various departmental sections.
However, some requirements for bachelor’s degrees are of a general nature,
applying to all such degrees. These are discussed below.
BACHELOR’S DEGREES. A minimum of 124 credits is required for a
bachelor’s degree. Some programs require more than this number of credits.
Requirements are of five categories: general education, bachelor of arts or bachelor
of science requirements, departmental requirements, competency requirements in
mathematics and writing, and residency.
ASSOCIATE
DEGREES
AND CERTIFICATES. See
the appropriate departmental section
of this Catalog for the specific re­
quirements. A minimum of 62 cred­
its is required for an associate de­
gree. Competency in mathematics
and writing is required for an associ­
ate degree. There is also a residency
requirement.

MINORS.
Academic minor
programs are also offered in a wide
variety of disciplines. A minimum
of 20 credits is required for a minor,
and some require more. See depart­
mental sections for specific minor
program requirements.

General Education consists of cours­
es required of all students regardless
of their specialized area of study.
The purpose of general education is
to develop skills and knowledge
useful for all students, regardless of

their career choices. Requirements
in English and speech enhance fun­
damental skills of writing and speak­
ing. Requirements in humanities,
natural sciences, and social sciences
broaden intellectual perspective and
familiarize students with fundamental
fields of human knowledge. The
recreational activity requirement lays
the foundation for a lifetime of activ­
ity that will promote health and well­
being.
ENGLISH (6 credits) - EN110
and EN205, EN210 or EN215
SPEECH (3) - SD101. Quarter
course SD110 or an equivalent twosemester credit speech course is

The load of Liberal Arts
In an age and an economy devoted to mass activity and group conformity, the
unique discipline of humane enlightenment traditionally associated with a study of
the Liberal Arts bears an increasingly heavy load. Two related arts are our special
concern: one is that of teaching, the other that of communicating with the larger
public beyond these walls. Both require a concern for the truthful and accurate use
of language - for truth, indeed, rather than indifferent "information.” Both require
an exercise of feeling and imagination as much as of thought. Both are concerned
to discover and encourage whatever creative aptitudes may be latent in each
student.
Our aim is knowledge, not pedantry;
our prime responsibility is to foster
the free mind, the exploring spirit -and to insure them every reasonable
liberty of expression. Since it is the
purpose of many studies to remind
us that we are neither apes, nor ants,
such a purpose may be better served
in a small community, such as ours,
avowedly dedicated to the pursuit of
a liberal education, than in some
large institutions whose very size
prohibits individual attention or
concern. A four-year curriculum
leads to the bachelor of arts degree
in English Language and Literature
or to the bachelor of arts or bachelor
of science degree in history. A
suggested curriculum is outlined;
however, students should plan indi-

vidual programs of study in
consultation either with assigned
advisers, or with department head.
Electives are available throughout the
University; in liberal arts these
include not only additional courses in
English and history or sequences in
the modem foreign languages, but
also in speech, journalism, drama,
music, art, and philosophy. Leading
authorities recognize that a sound
liberal arts education is often the
most satisfactory preparation for
successful training and
accomplishment in many vocational
and professional areas,
Upon
completion of their degree program,
students will be prepared either to
pursue career in fields such as
communications, government, and

ARTS &amp; LETTERS•95

�industry, or to embark upon graduate
studies which will qualify them for
professions in fields such as
teaching.
ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS:
To qualify for admission as
freshmen, applicants must be

graduates of accredited secondary
schools with above average standing
in their classes. Secondary school
preparation should include a fouryear curriculum of at least 15 units
of acceptable entrance credits. Three
units of English are required.

BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES
BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES prepare students for careers in research and in
applied aspects of life sciences as well as providing a background in biology for
a career or further studies in allied sciences. Four-year programs lead to bachelor
of science degrees in biological sciences, fisheries and wildlife management,
environmental science and medical technology; bachelor of arts degree in biology;
and two associate degrees: natural resources technology and water quality
technology. Students electing to pursue four-year degree programs generally have
the opportunity of changing their majors to one of the other biology degree
programs without losing credits or having to make up deficiencies during the first
two years of study. Students working toward these four-year degree programs have
the same basic first year of courses.

BACHELOR OF ARTS/SCIENCE

Biology
Lake Superior State University is
ideally located for field studies of
terrestrial and aquatic resources.
Students electing a variety of courses
in ecology and applied ecology can
qualify for state and federal positions
in fisheries biology, wildlife biology,
and other related fields. Laboratory
courses give students knowledge and
techniques necessary for many
technical positions with industry and
governmental agencies.
Students interested in research
positions in environmental science,
marine biology, microbiology,
physiology, fish and wildlife biology

and numerous other life sciences can
receive a strong undergraduate
background at Lake Superior State
University that will enable them to
pursue a career or graduate education
elsewhere. Admission requirements
for professional and graduate
universities vary throughout the
United States and Canada. Students
planning post-baccalaureate
education should plan with their
advisor to insure that these
requirements are met.
ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS:
To qualify for admission as fresh­
men, applicants must be graduates of

BIOLOGY &amp; CHEMISTRY 102

�accepted secondary schools with
above average standing in their class.
Their secondary school preparation
should include a four-year
curriculum of at least 15 units of
acceptable entrance credits. The
following subjects must be included
in these
credits: one unit of
beginning algebra, one unit of
advanced
algebra, one unit of
chemistry and three units of English.
In addition, one biology unit and one
unit of geometry or trigonometry are
highly recommended. Students not
meeting these requirements may
enter on a provisional basis. OAC
students are required to take
departmental competency
examinations before credit will be
granted in biology and chemistry.
Substitution for courses required as
part of biology degree requirements
must be approved by the department
head.

Honors Program
This program is a research sequence
open to biology, and environmental
science majors with a minimum
overall GPA of 3.5 through the first
semester of the junior year. Majors
electing this sequence will select an
instructor as their supervisor. An
undergraduate research project will
be outlined in consultation with the
supervising instructor and submitted
to the department for approval. The
outline must be approved before the
first semester of the senior year. At
the end of the seventh week of the
spring semester during the senior
year, the students will forward an
abstract of their work to the
department head and during the tenth
week of the same semester will
submit the final copy of their
research papers in publishable form,
for departmental approval,
All
grades for this sequence will be
deferred until the final semester.

Eight credit hours of honors credit
will be substituted for 8 hours of
electives upon successful completion
of the research sequence.
The
special problem sequence will not be
open to students electing the honors
program research sequence. The
completed research may be used for
Senior Thesis.

Independent Study
In biology, chemistry, environmental
science: Students desiring to enroll in
BL, CH, EV Special Problem
courses will be granted permission to
take the course(s) provided the
following conditions are in existence
at the time of petition: (A) junior or
senior standing; (B) With overall
GPA of at least 2.5; (C) No I grades
on transcript. Students meeting these
requirements must petition depart­
ment faculty with a detailed onepage outline of work and date to be
completed. Request for more than

Pre-professional: Medicine, Optometry,
Dentistry, Veterinary Medicine
Professional schools, including
medical, dental, optrometry, and
veterinary schools, typically do not
yecifically rquire any college
degree, let alone a specific degree in
biology. However, applicants to
professional schools are seldom
accepted with ony three years of
undergraduate credt. Further, since
career goals often change, pre­

professional students at LSSU are
encouraged to remain four years and
complete the requirements for a
baccalaureate degree. A survey of
medical and dental school admission
requirements for the United States
and Canada as published by the
American and Canadian Associations
of Medical and Dental Colleges
shows that courses taken for either

formal recommendation to the
appropriate medical, optometry,
veterinary or dental universities. By
virtue of our small size and student
to faculty ratio, we can write an indepth letter based upon our personal
knowledge of each student’s abilities
and performance rather than merely
using grade point average and MAT,
VAT, DAT or OCAT scores. These
letters, which take into account the
aspects of the student’s personality
that relate to their potential as a
medical professional, are highly
regarded by the various professional
schools in Michigan as well as in the

Therefore, although other curricula
may be pursued as pre-professional
degrees, most students elect to strive
toward a degree in biology.
BOARD: The pre-professional
advisory board consists of
representatives from the disciplines
of biology and chemistry including
two pre-professional advisors. This

�□ Computer Information Systems
Management concentration
The CISM area of concentration is an integrated program of
management and computer information systems. It provides a broad
study of business management with the opportunity to extend this
study by elective courses. The curriculum includes a strong
emphasis on computer-based information systems including systems
analysis, systems design, database systems, systems management and
computer programming. The COBOL (Common Business Oriented
Language) is studied in depth, with an emphasis on program design.
COBOL is also used as the host language in the study of database
program development. Students have an introduction to RPG
(Report Program Generator), and they may elect to study other
programming languages.
Career oriented: Although graduates should expect to begin their careers as
programmer/analysts, their background prepares them to develop professionally
along alternative career paths including systems analysis, systems design,
programming project management, systems development management, and
information systems department management.

COMPUTER SCIENCE
In recent years, a quiet revolution has taken place. The computer has moved
out of the back room of large corporations and research institutions into the front
offices and living rooms of modem society. Computer scientists work at the
leading edge of this revolution, developing software systems that allow us to utilize

GEOLOGY
SINCE THE BEGINNING of the solar system our earth has
been developing. Our present environment is the result of the
cumulative interaction of many dynamic physical, chemical and
biological processes.
GEOLOGY deals with the
dynamic earth, its physical makeup,
and its physical and organic history.
It involves the study of changes
which have taken place and the
forces which cause, and are now
causing, these changes. By drawing
on concepts of biology, chemistry,
mathematics and physics geologists
attempt to understand the physical
environment in which we live and
from which we derive most of the
natural resources essential to our
civilization. Our civilization requires
many

non-renewable natural resources in
order to survive. Since the turn of
the century, we have used more and
more of these resources at an everincreasing rate and now have critical
supply problems. Our demands upon
the environment have significantly
changed the earth around us, and, if
we are to survive, we must live
within the constraints imposed by
Geologists study and
nature.
understand these constraints. They
must apply their knowledge to
achieve harmony between the human
race and its environment.

�of geologic science and geophysics. Increases in the demand for
energy fuels and mineral products result in an expansion of
opportunities for graduates in geology. Students contemplating
careers in geology should, upon graduating, expect to travel, often to
remote and uninhabited areas. Most of the jobs entail outdoor field
work, often under difficult conditions.
Other new fields are now
requiring geologists, such as NASA,
EPA, and companies and agencies
involved with environmental
concerns.
The geological
environment of Lake Superior State
University provides unexcelled
opportunities for field study of
classic sections illustrating
Precambrian stratigraphy, structure,
intrusions, and metamorphism and
undisturbed Paleozoic sedimentary
formations. Proximity to deposits of
iron, copper, uranium, dolomite and
the Michigan oil and gas fields as
well as other minerals is an
additional advantage. Students are
eligible to participate in the
department’s active research in
micropaleontology (conodonts).

ENGINEERING TRANSFER:
The first two years of a professional
engineering degree may be taken at
LSSU if you are well prepared in
mathematics. It is recommended that
you contact the engineering school
that you would like to transfer to
early in your freshman year at
LSSU. Each school of engineering
has somewhat different requirements
which will affect the exact program
you take at LSSU.
Transfer Students: An evaluation
of all previous course work will be
made upon receipt of application.

Transfer of LSSU credits to
Most
engineering schools,
engineering technology credits
earned at LSSU will not transfer to
professional engineering schools due
to the mathematics requirements of
each program.

The capstone program assumes a
two-year background in an
appropriate engineering technology
or pre-engineering curriculum.
Graduates will be prepared to design,
integrate, and program various
systems for automated manu­
facturing. Technical courses in the
final two years will be based upon
the student’s previous background
and are designed to produce

a well-rounded and

THIS DEPARTMENT encompasses a variety of disciplines
and programs, including Criminal Justice and Recreation Studies
(each described subsequently in greater detail). Programs described
here include early childhood education, education, geography, human
services, legal assistant studies, Native American studies, substance
abuse prevention and treatment, political science, psychology and
sociology. These are quite diverse in their perspectives and methods,
but all are concerned with either the scientific study of human
behavior or the development of human potential, or both.
OFFERINGS: There are a
variety of majors, minors, and
issociate degrees. Some programs
give students specific employable
skills upon graduation. Others are
broader, so that upon graduation
students may have the option of
further education in graduate school
or law school, or of entering careers
in fields such as politics, teaching,
social services, administration, and
business. Each area of study is
described in greater detail below,
including requirements for majors,
minors and associate degrees.
ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS:
To qualify for admission as
freshmen, applicants must be
graduates of accredited secondary
schools with above average standing

Their secondary
in their class.
school preparation should include a
four-year curriculum of at least 15
units of acceptable entrance credits.
Two major sequences and two minor
sequences should be included in the
15 units for graduation. Individual
disciplines within the department
may have additional entrance
requirements.

EDUCATION
Lake Superior State University is
currently working in cooperation
with Michigan State University to
develop an integrated BA/MA
program in education. The program
emphasizes a combination of
preparation in the student’s discipline
and education course work that is

SOCIAL SCIENCES 180

�coordinated with extensive work in
schools. The program as it is being
developed will include a BA or BS
from LSSU and graduate course
work from MSU, all of which will
be completed in the Sault Ste. Marie
area.
Disciplinary majors and minors that
will lead to teaching certification are
being developed by a number of
academic departments.

CHILD CARE
CENTER
A campus Child Care Center
provides full or part-time care for
children, aged two and one-half to
five years, of students and staff and
the Sault Community. Children must
be toilet trained.
The Center,
licensed by the State of Michigan

Department of Social Services,
provides developmentally sound
experiences for the whole child
across a range of social, emotional,
physical and cognitive dimensions.
It is a place where young children
can develop a strong relationship
with both adults and children. Each
morning and afternoon under the
supervision of an experienced staff,
child development students plan and
supervise large group, art, snack and
small group experiences for the
children. A significant portion of
each day is devoted to exploratory
play.
During exploratory play
children may move throughout the
various learning areas of the Center,
electing to participate in any one of
the wide variety of activities and
interact with learning materials. The
Child Care Center is located on the
south edge of the Library parking
lot.

�□ Athletic Training Concentration
A person who receives a degree concentration in Athletic Training,
which is also referred to as Sports Medicine, will become a highly
skilled professional who deals directly with injuries which occur to
athletes. The athletic trainer works closely with physicians and other
health care professionals in order to provide today’s athletes with the
best medical care possible. Those who pursue a career in athletic
training may seek employment on the high school, college, or
professional sport level. In addition, the athletic trainer may be
employed in sports medicine and health fitness clinics, which have
increased in numbers during the past decade. All the above
mentioned positions usually require certification by the National
Athletic Trainers’ Association.
Students completing the
concentration at Lake Superior State University will be more
marketable in the field of exercise science and eligible for a variety
of graduate programs in athletic training and sports medicine
throughout the country. Any student wishing to achieve eligibility
to sit for the National Athletic Trainers’ Association certification
examination will receive individual guidance in that direction.

THERAPEUTIC RECREATION
With the advancement of the humanistic and holistic
philosophy of health care, the development of Therapeutic Recreation
as a profession has been tremendous. Through the use of
recreational activities as a modality, the Therapeutic Recreation
Specialist improves the physical, social, mental and emotional
functioning of individuals with a variety of limiting conditions.
Canadian and American students graduating with a bachelor of
science in Therapeutic Recreation have been very successful in
finding employment in a variety of settings, such as hospitals, homes
for the aged, special recreation associations, prisons, municipal
recreation programs and agencies providing services for the
physically challenged.

�PHYSICAL EDUCATION
Lake Superior State University does not offer majors or
minors in physical education. However, all students enrolled in a
four-year degree granting program are required to take two different
credit hours of recreation activity. Those enrolled in a one, two, or
three-year terminal curriculum are required to take variable credits of
recreational activity. Students fulfill the two-credit hour requirement
by earning two different recreational activity credits.

badminton, bowling, volleyball,
swimming, weight training, dance,
backpacking, outdoor survival, rock
climbing and rappelling, racquetball,
jogging, orienteering, canoeing,
soccer, self defense, and
individualized physical fitness.
Physical education, intramurals, and
athletics play an important part in the
lives of the students. Students are
encouraged to participate in activities
that will provide a carry-over into
later life. Preparation for a lifetime
of recreational activity is a major
goal of the university.

�POLITICAL SCIENCE
Political Science is the systematic study of government and
politics. Since government and politics are round at many levels—
international, national, state, and local—and all over the world,
political science has many facets. All of these facets receive
attention in the political science program at Lake Superior State
University.
The goal of the curriculum is to

prepare students interested in
government and politics for
rewarding careers and lifetimes of
learning and involvement. To best
achieve this goal, three distinct
concentrations or tracks are available
for students of political science:
1. general political science
2 pre-law,
3. public administration.

Each concentration has been
designed to provide a combination of
knowledge and skills that is uniquely
appropriate for those with particular
career goals. However, choosing
one concentration over the others
does not limit a student to one
particular career path—each of the
concentrations provides a solid
grounding in political science.

BACHELOR OF ARTS/SCIENCE

POLITICAL SCIENCE - GENERAL
The general political science concentration is designed to
provide a broad education in political science. It is most appropriate
for students who plan to attend graduate school in political science
and for those with an interest in government and politics who wish
to get a broad, liberal education as preparation for a career in
business, government, or journalism. Students who continue their
education in graduate school most often pursue careers as professors,
researchers, consultants, or government officials. Students who do
not pursue graduate study choose from a wide variety of career
options in business, government, and journalism.

�BACHELOR OF ARTS/SCIENCE

POLITICAL SCIENCE - PRE-LAW
The pre-law concentration provides students of political
science interested in legal careers with a planned curriculum that
prepares them especially well for law school and for careers in law.
Students who choose this option are often interested in careers as
attorneys, prosecutors, or judges. It should be noted that this is not
a mandatory pre-law curriculum; it is a curriculum for pre-law
students who have a special interest in government and politics.
Noteworthy features of this
concentration are a special course on
the nature of legal careers and how
to prepare for them; two courses in
legal research and writing that
provide students with a head start in
using a law library and in conducting
legal research; and a well-designed
combination of support courses in
logic, debate, writing, accounting,
and research.

�government agencies at the local, state or provincial, and national
levels. Other positions may be found in nonprofit organizations
involved in public concerns, such as Common Cause, the
Environmental Defense Fund, and the Michigan Health Council.
Some of these careers of public service may be pursued with only a
bachelor’s degree. Others may require completion of a master’s
degree in public administration or a related field.
Senior public administration students
will complete an internship as part of
their education. Internships allow
students to apply the knowledge they
have gained in the classroom in an
on-the-job setting. They are also
valuable for creating a record of
experience that will impress prospec­
tive employers and help the student
become established in a career.
Internships, which are arranged with
the assistance of an advisor, are
available with local, state or
provincial, and federal agencies.

PRE-LAW
No prescribed course of study can be recommended to all
students who plan to attend law school. Students entering law school
choose undergraduate majors from a wide variety of fields.
However, a pre-law concentration is offered in the political science
curriculum, and various law courses are offered as a part of the legal
assistant studies program at Lake Superior State University. See
appropriate political science and legal assistant studies program
listings, which are part of the Social Sciences Department.
Students interested in a legal career
should consult with the pre-law
advisor, Professor Carol Andary,
early and often during their
undergraduate studies. The pre-law
advisor is located in the Social
Sciences Department,
Pre-law
planning based on consultation with
the advisor will allow the student to
make an informed choice of
curriculum and of elective courses
that will help with the development
of the skills mentioned below. The
pre-law advisor will also provide
pre-law students with a variety of
materials about admission to law

school, the law school admission
test, and careers in law.
A student’s undergraduate grade
point average and his or her score on
the Law School Admission Test
(LSAT) are the two most important
criteria for admission to law school.
Details on admission policies of law
schools throughout the country, and
the degree to which these schools
may use other criteria in addition to
grade point average and LSAT score,
may be found in the Pre-Law
Handbook. The Pre-Law Handbook
is published by the Law School

SOCIAL SCIENCES • 219

�Admission Council/Law School
Admission Services and is the
official law school guide, This
handbook may be examined by
contacting the pre-law advisor, or
may be purchased in many book
stores.
Although there is no prescribed
major which must be taken for
admission to law school, some
curricula may be better than others
in helping students develop skills
necessary for admission to law
school and for a successful legal
career. A broad and challenging
undergraduate curriculum is the best
preparation for law school. The Pre-

Law Handbook stresses that a
student’s undergraduate education
should lead to the development of
skills in three areas: (1) the ability to
understand and express oneself well
in words, (2) the development of a
critical understanding of the human
institutions and values with which
the law deals, and (3) the
development of creative power in
thinking. A pre-law student should
consider the need to develop these
skills in selecting his or her
curriculum. In addition, students
should think about whether the
curriculum they choose can provide
an alternative to a career in law
should they eventually choose not to
pursue a legal career.

�PSYCHOLOGY
BACHELOR OF ARTS/BACHELOR OF SCIENCES

PSYCHOLOGY

Psychology is the systematic study of behavior and mental
processes in humans and animals. The major provides students with
exposure to the areas that define contemporary scientific psychology.
The psychology major helps a student develop analytical thinking
and communication skills which are applicable to a variety of
careers. Many psychology majors pursue post baccalaureate degrees.
Psychology electives enable students to construct a program of study
consistent with their professional goals. The Bachelor of Science and
Bachelor of Arts degrees differ only in the nature of the cognate;
science classes or foreign language classes, respectively.

SOCIOLOGY
Sociology is the scientific study of human social groups, from
families to societies. In sociology we examine how variables such
as the culture, laws, and customs of a society influence individuals
SOCIAL SCIENCES • 225

�within the society. Sociologists also investigate how individuals
influence and change society.
The knowledge acquired through
the study of sociology is useful in a
number of careers, including human
services, law enforcement,
corrections, business administration,
and public administration, among
others. For those students who plan

a career in sociology, teaching or
doing research, an undergraduate
major in sociology provides a good
background for graduate work in
sociology. All social science minors,
including the two sociology minors,
are listed at the end of the social
science section.

For the bachelor degree in Sociology, the student must complete the following
requirements:
A. SOCIOLOGY MAJOR (31 hours)

�CONTINUING EDUCATION
THE CONTINUING EDUCATION OFFICE offers both
credit courses, in cooperation with academic departments, and creditfree programs for members of surrounding communities.
Undergraduate credit courses are offered both on and off campus.
The two main off campus sites are at Alpena Community College
in Alpena, and North Central Michigan College in Petoskey,
Michigan, where LSSU operates its Regional Centers. Off campus
courses are also offered in Escanaba, at Bay de Noc Community
College, and at other locations, based on student demand.
Through the two Regional Centers,
students may obtain a Bachelor of
Science degree in Business
Administration, Accounting and
Nursing (B.S.N. completion program
for registered nurses),
These
programs are offered over a three
year cycle, and students are usually
concurrently enrolled in one of the
community colleges and LSSU. All
degree requirements may be
completed off campus. The length
of time required to complete the
degree varies, according to each
student’s individual schedule and the
number of college credits already
completed.

CONTINUING EDUCATION is
the office primarily responsible for
community service activities. Noncredit enrichment courses are
scheduled several times a year and
include a wide variety of inexpensive
courses and activities for adults and
children. Learn to Swim and the
children’s dance are two popular
programs for children,
Adult
enrichment courses in subjects such
as computers, exercise, crafts, art
and languages, to name just a few,
are available.

UPWARD BOUND, a program
for high school students who have
the potential to become the first
person in their family to attend
college, is also run under the
Continuing Education Office.
Upward Bound provides a six week
summer residential program,
consisting of academic classes and
enrichment activities. During the
school year, students receive tutoring
and counseling from Upward Bound
staff. About 60 students from the
Eastern Upper Peninsula participate
in Upward Bound each year.

ELDERHOSTEL,

for
participants at the other end of the
age scale, has been held on campus
Under
each year since 1979.
Elderhostel, an international program
for senior citizens, participants spend

�MASTER OF BUSINESS
ADMINISTRATION
The Master of Business Administration (MBA) Program
provides a graduate management education to further prepare
students for careers in business, industry and government agencies.
The MBA Program reflects a realis­
tic approach to graduate work in two
ways. First, the courses tend to be
more applied or practical, and are
thus more useful for the practicing
manager. Second, the courses are
offered evenings and weekends,
tailored specifically for the employed
person.

PROGRAM
OBJECTIVES
L To provide individuals with
advanced academic work in the
field of business and manage­
ment education.
2. To provide individuals with a
graduate program that is oriented
to a pragmatic study of business
and management education.
3. To provide individuals with a
program that will prepare them
for management positions in
public and private units in soci­
ety.
4. To provide individuals with an
opportunity to develop a capacity
for self-directed and professional
growth.
5. To provide individuals with a
program that provides a broadbase exposure to the general
concepts of management.

6. To provide individuals employed
full-time with an opportunity to
secure graduate management
education on a part-time basis.
7. To provide opportunities for a
multi-disciplinary approach to
learning through an exchange of
graduate faculty of other institu­
tions.

FACULTY
The MBA graduate faculty consist
of full-time Lake Superior State
University faculty, adjunct faculty
from other colleges and universities,
and visiting scholars. Faculty are
selected on the basis of their creden­
tials, business training, industrial
experience, professional reputation,
and interest in graduate management
education.

MBA ADVISORY
COUNCIL
The MBA Advisory Council assists
the University in curriculum devel­
opment and serves as a liaison be­
tween the MBA program and the
area it serves. Active interchange
with this Council helps MBA faculty
and staff to be sensitive to current
trends in business and to the profes­
sional development needs there.

�LAKE SUPERIOR STATE UNIVERSITY

MISSION STATEMENT
Lake Superior State University is a co-educational, public, compre­
hensive institution that recognizes as its primary mfssion the offermg °f challenging undergraduate programs to students from
ichigan, Northern Ontario, and the near Midwest in anticipation
of preparing them for stimulating lives and satisfying careers in the
twenty-first century.
By design a relatively small institution, Lake Superior State
University strives to carry out its primary mission by realizing a
collegial community in which all its constituencies share in the
teaching, research, and regional service activities of the Institution.
In this supportive environment students, staff, faculty, and administrators demonstrate high regard for one another as valued mem­
bers of the community, thus providing opportunities for emotional
and social maturation as well as intellectual growth.
All educational programming at Lake Superior State University
rests on an acknowledged commitment to an integrated relation­
ship between the liberal arts and professional/technical fields.
That relationship fosters the development of students as contribut­
ing citizens, viable professionals, and fulfilled individuals, who
think critically, appreciate creativity, have problem-solving skills,
and express continuing intellectual curiosity about themselves,
others, and the world around them. The University's international
setting complements its efforts to assist students in the expansion
of their perspectives.
Lake Superior State University's primary mission, thus, draws its
validity from the knowledge that today's students — tomorrow s
leaders - will best serve humanity by having: the necessary infor­
mation to understand the past; the critical thinking skills to assess
contemporary problems; and the enlightened courage o ace w
enthusiasm the uncertainty of the future.

�WHAT
Lake Superior State University encourages in its students a desire to learn and a
willingness to serve. The primary purpose of the University is to educate and
train young people for rewarding careers and lives of meaning. We:
Regard students as mature,
responsible individuals engaged in
the processes of self government
which are essential in a democratic
society.
Teach individuals, not groups; with
a close-working relationship between
Each
instructors and students,
student has a faculty advisor and
may also consult the counseling
service.
Educate students for well-rounded
lives; not only intellectual
competence, but physical, social,
and cultural development.
The
program of general education
includes courses such as recreational
activities, natural sciences, social
sciences, English language and
literature, and the humanities.
Athletic events, clubs, dramatic and
cultural presentations, and student
self-government organizations offer
a wide variety of co-curricular
activities.
Teach fundamentals and their
application.
In modem society
knowledge increases so rapidly that
specific facts may become obsolete
even before they are widely learned.
Close attention to fundamentals is
necessary. The University attempts
to inculcate habits of learning,
thinking and doing which,
thoughtfully modified, will endure
for a lifetime.
Encourage initiative, self criticism,
and intellectual curiosity; learn by
doing. Education in fundamental

knowledge should be supplemented
by laboratory and field work in
order that university preparation
closely resembles conditions in
Students
professional careers,
should develop lifelong intellectual
curiosity and discovery, become
constructive critics of themselves
and of society, and learn to prize
creative, original thinking.

IN RETROSPECT
HISTORIC: Lake Superior State
University is a hilltop campus,
situated on the historic site of Fort
Brady, a U.S. Army post dating
The campus
back to 1822.
overlooks the St. Mary’s River and
the famous Soo Locks. After the
fort was deactivated in 1944, the
property was acquired by Michigan
Technological University to establish
a branch. Thus, the campus is a
blend of historic and modem
architecture. The University was
accorded four-year status by the
State Board of Education in 1966,
and authorized to grant baccalaureate
degrees.
The first baccalaureate class graduat­
ed in 1967. Autonomy, separating
the University from Michigan Tech­
nological University, was granted
January 1, 1970. On November 4,
1987, Governor James Blanchard
signed legislation changing Lake
Superior State from College to Uni­
versity.

CAMPUS RESIDENCE facili­
ties include two traditional halls, a

Si

Student Village with eight-person
apartments, townhouses, a mobile
home park, several apartment build­
ings and unique family-style houses.
The Quaraterdeck provides food
service facilities. The Walker Cisler
Center offers recreational facilities
as well as a snack bar, student
offices, and meeting rooms. The
James Norris Physical Education
Center provides ample opportunity
for a variety of recreational
activities, intramurals, courses and
intercollegiate athletics. The Center
for Applied Sciences and
Engineering Technology offers stu­
dents the latest in modem technolog­
ical resources.
A seasoned faculty and high academ­
ic standards have earned Lake Supe­
rior State University a reputation for
an enriched education in such areas
as liberal arts, engineering technol­
ogy, business administration, social
sciences, biological sciences and
their allied fields.
The need to provide continuing
education for adults has not been
overlooked. The University offers
evening courses as well as confer­
ences and cultural programs.
Enrollment of part-time students in
day classes is encouraged.
Students find the close relationship
between faculty and the student body
is extremely valuable in the first
years of university work. No one is

ment, with its own classroom and
laboratory buildings, residence halls,
library, auditorium, gymnasium,
food services, and health center. It
consists of 121 acres of spacious,
wooded campus on the western
heights of Sault Ste. Marie overlook­
ing the St. Mary’s River, Lake
Superior and Sault Ste. Marie,
Ontario.
Students find that the city of Sault
Ste. Marie and its environs offer
much of value to enhance their edu­
cational experiences.
Sault Ste.
Marie is one of the oldest cities in
the United States. It was a fur trad­
ing center as early as the second
quarter of the seventeenth century.
In 1641, a Jesuit mission was estab­
lished here, and 27 years later Fa­
ther Marquette founded at the Sault
the first permanent settlement within
the limits of Michigan. The Sault
celebrated its 300th birthday in
1968.

�ACADEMIC
The Academic Policies and regulations of Lake Superior State University which
are intended to guide students through an orderly and successful pursuit of their
academic goals, describe the necessary actions and procedures for which students
are responsible. They outline the students’ expectations and rights while enrolled
as a university student. Advisors, department heads and personnel of university
offices will help students to understand these policies and regulations; however,
it is each student’s individual responsibility to comply with them.

THE ACADEMIC
YEAR
^ake Superior State University is on
a semester system. (Previous to Fall
Semester 1991 it was on a quarter
system.) The academic year consists
of a Fall Semester (September
through December) and a Spring
Semester (January through April or
early May).
Fall and Spring
semesters consist of fifteen weeks of
instruction followed by a week for
final examinations.
During the
Summer Semester (May through
early August) most courses are
conducted during an eight week
period which includes two days for
final examinations. Specific dates
for each semester are found in the
University Calendar located
elsewhere in this book.

ACADEMIC CREDIT
In a lecture/recitation type course
students receive one credit for each
fifteen hours of classroom
instruction. (For example, a threecredit course of this type might be
scheduled 9:00 to 9:50 AM Monday,
Wednesday and Friday. An "hour"

period is usually only 50 minutes
long, with ten minutes allowed for
students to move from class to
class.)
Courses including laboratory, field
work or other non-lecture formats
may be scheduled for more than one
hour per week per credit. In general,
one credit requires an average of
three hours of the student’s time per
In
week for the semester,
lecture/recitation courses this would
normally be accomplished with one
hour of classroom attendance and
two hours of preparation or study.
An average student credit load per
semester is sixteen credits. One
hundred twenty-four credits is the
minimum number required for a
Some
baccalaureate degree,
programs require more than this
minimum.

CLASSIFICATION
OF STUDENTS
Students are assigned to one of four
class levels as follows: 0 to 25
credits = Freshman; 26 to 55 credits
= Sophomore; 56 to 87 = Junior;
88+ = Senior.

�POLICIES
STUDENT
CURRICULUM
CHOICE AND
ADVISING
Students are encouraged to select a
major program upon admission to
the University,
The academic
department offering the chosen
program is called the "major
department". The school dean of
the major department assigns an
academic advisor to each of the
students. An advisor assists students
in course selection each semester, in
understanding program and
university requirements and
regulations, in evaluating academic
progress, and in other matters
related to successful academic
achievement. Lake Superior State
University is firmly committed to
providing students personalized
advising and support. Students are
encouraged to actively seek help
from their instructors, advisors,
department chair, Division of
General Studies, Counseling Center,
and any other faculty, staff or office
which they believe might be of
assistance. The Division of General
Studies provides academic tutoring
as does the Native American Center
and academic departments. These
services are usually provided without
charge to enrolled students.
Additional information concerning
advising services is listed under
testing and counseling service in this
catalog.
Students who are undecided about
their choice of a major program are

classified as majoring in Liberal
Arts, an associate degree program,
and assigned a provisional academic
advisor until another major is
chosen.
Students may change their major
curriculum by
processing a
Curriculum Change Card through
The
the Registrar’s Office.
Registrar’s Office,
Counseling
Center and departmental offices can
provide students with the card and
instructions for processing it.
Curriculum Change cards must be
filed with the Registrar’s Office each
time a curriculum change is made so
that advisor materials, grade reports
and graduation information will be
sent to the correct school and
advisor. Students will be assigned a
new advisor when a curriculum
change is made.
Students may
request a change of advisor by
asking the dean of their school to
make such change.
Students who are provisionally
admitted to Lake Superior State
University through the Division of
General Studies will be assigned to
an academic advisor from within that
Division until the student meets the
exiting criteria which enables them
to enter their chosen major
unconditionally.

SELECTION
Each semester the Registrar/
Scheduling Office publishes a
Course Schedule listing all courses

�offered during the semester along
with related information such as
days and hour of course offering,
instructor and the final examination
time. This booklet is available
several weeks before the semester
begins and contains timely and
important information for students.
Students are responsible for reading
each semester’s Course Schedule and
adhering to its instructions. Course
Schedules and scheduling materials
are available from all departmental
offices and the Scheduling Office.
After academic advising, students
schedule courses by submitting
required materials to the Registrar/
Scheduling Office according to the
time schedule described in the
Course Schedule. After scheduling
courses, students have a limited
period of time to pay tuition and
related fees. At the end of this
period students will be dropped from
classes for non-payment.
Several factors assist or limit student

required of all students before they
schedule their first courses in
mathematics or English.
Maximum student credit load is
twenty credits per semester, with the
exception that students having a 3.00
cumulative grade point average may
take additional credit with written
approval of the dean of their school.
Students on academic probation and
enrolled in Division of General
Studies should not take more than
fifteen credits per semester.
Prerequisites: Students must satisfy
prerequisites, and any other stated
conditions before enrolling in a

course or have permission from an
instructor to waive the prerequisites.
Enrollment in a course may be
revoked (with an N grade) if it is
found during the regular drop period
that the proper prerequisites have not
been met. Responsibility rests with
students to be certain that they have
the approved prerequisites.
Permission to take any course out of
sequence is seldom granted even to
exceptional students, since electing a
course for which one is not prepared
imposes an additional burden not
reflected in the total number of
credits being carried. Students must
earn passing grades in a prerequisite
course before taking the next course
in sequence. For some courses a C
(2.00) grade or better is required.
Exceptions may be made only by
school dean or the course instructor.
Students who receive a D grade in a
prerequisite course or a course in the
major are strongly advised (and may
be required) to repeat the course,
and raise the D, before continuing.
Repeats: Students may not repeat a
course by enrollment or examination
if they have passed a course for
which the repeated course is a
prerequisite. Exceptions may be
granted by the school dean with the
concurrence of the Registrar.
Changes in course schedule: A
period of time is provided at the
beginning of each semester for
students to add or delete courses.
Courses deleted during this period
will not appear on a student’s
permanent record (transcript). The
add/delete period for a full semester
course begins on the first day of the
semester, and ends on the sixth
university business day. For courses
which span less than a full semester,
a shorter add/delete period may be
established. During the add/delete
period schedule changes are initiated

A student’s add or
withdrawal from a course is not
officially completed unless the
appropriate form is filed with the
Registrar/Scheduling Office.
Students are advised to retain the
official receipt they are given upon
completion of an add or drop
procedure.
Late Adds: Students requesting to
add courses after the end of the
add/delete period must obtain
permission and a special form for
this purpose from the Registrar’s
Office, obtain the written approval
of the instructor, and then return the
form to the Registrar’s Office. A
service charge will be charged for
this procedure. Students are
responsible for all class work
missed previous to adding a class.
Non-attendance at first class:
Students scheduled for a course, but
not attending the first class meeting,
may be deleted by the instructor
during the delete period. In this
case, the instructor shall submit a
delete form and notify the student.
Dropping courses after the
add/delete period: Students may
drop a course during the first forty
days of a full semester course. For
courses running less than a full
semester the semester Course
Schedule booklet will contain official
dates each semester.
(The time
period for dropping will be equal to
54 percent of the course instructional
period.) A student’s record shall

ATTENDANCE
Students at Lake Superior State
University should be sufficiently

is necessary to be absent. In making
such a decision, they must

Services.
3. Participation in an official
University function shall be
considered an excused absence
when approved by the Provost.
Students shall not be penalized
for participation in such a

�COMPLETE
WITHDRAWAL
FROM THE
UNIVERSITY
Full-time students who withdraw
from the University during the first
eight-weeks of the semester should
report in person to the Counseling
Center and complete a withdrawal
form for the Registrar’s office. The
Registrar will authorize the
appropriate refund, if any. Refunds
will be mailed after the end of the
refund period. After the eight-week
drop period, students must report to
the Registrar’s Office for the
Withdrawal Form.
Proper clearance of University
obligations assures that students can
later receive transfer of credits.
Students with a hold on their
•anscript will not receive a
ranscript of credits until clearance
is complete.

THE GRADING
SYSTEM
Grade point average (GPA). To
compute the grade point average for
a semester, divide the total points
earned by the total credits carried.
Credits carried include those failed
or earned but not credits for
Credit/No Credit courses. To figure
the cumulative grade point average
divide the total points earned by the
total credits carried in all semesters.
When a course is repeated, count
only the credits carried and the
points of the last grade earned.
Thus, successfully repeating courses
in which students initially earned a
D or F is an effective way for them
to improve their cumulative GPA.
A cumulative grade point average of
2.00 for all credits carried is
required for graduation. Further,

the student must compile a 2.00
grade point average for all
departmental courses required in the
student’s major and minor(s).

Grade reports:
concerning grades and credits are
sent to each student after each
semester. These reports are mailed
to home addresses.
Dean’s list: Students who complete
twelve or more credits in a semester
with a grade point average of 3.50
or higher will be placed on the
dean’s list for that semester,
acknowledging their outstanding
achievement.

ACADEMIC
PROBATION
Students at Lake Superior State
University enjoy a considerable
degree of self-determination; they
decide for themselves when and how
long to work on each assignment.
The best way to succeed in this task
is to work out a weekly schedule
with two hours of study time
earmarked as preparation for each
one-hour class. (In a few cases, the
instructor may suggest some other
division of time.)
Most students are able to maintain
good work in all their courses. A
few fall short of satisfactory
performance. For them, a system of
academic probation is used.
Academic probation is considered a
warning to students that their
scholastic performance is below the
University’s minimum requirements.
During this period, students should
determine for themselves whether to
continue their programs as planned.
No student while on probation shall
carry more than 15 credits per
semester exclusive of band and
recreational activities. The Vice
President for Student Services, in
consultation with the student’s

advisor, may impose restrictions on
the student’s extra-curricular
activities.
It is the responsibility of students to
familiarize themselves with all
academic regulations including those
relating to probation, and to keep
informed as to their academic
standing.
The rules governing
academic probation, dismissal, and
reinstatement follow.
1. Students will be on academic
probation if their cumulative
grade point average is in the "on
probation" category.
2. Students whose cumulative grade
point average at the conclusion
of a semester falls into the
dismissal range of the academic
standing table will be dismissed.
3. After a first or second dismissal
a student has the following
options:
a. Allow two semesters
(summer may be counted for
one semester) to elapse
before re-enrollment or
b. Petition the Scholastic
Standards Committee for
readmittance.

This action is initiated with
the Registrar. The Commit­

Subsequent to the Commit­

further appeal to the Provost,
whose decision is final.
4. Students who continue after a
dismissal will be dismissed again
after any semester in which their
cumulative grade point average
falls in the dismissal category.

will not be reinstated without the
permission of the Provost.
Three semesters must elapse
from the time of dismissal before
the student may petition for

counted for one semester.
6. The Scholastic Standards
Committee may
on the
recommendation of a school dean
require students to withdraw
from any course or courses in
which their preparation,
progress, effort or conduct is
deemed unsatisfactory and may
on the recommendation of the
Provost or Vice President for
Student Programs and Services
dismiss students from the

University if their background,
overall academic accom­
plishment, conduct or attitude
toward their work is deemed
unsatisfactory.

CREDIT/NO
CREDIT COURSES
To encourage intellectual explo­
ration, students may enroll in some
courses on a credit/no credit basis
for which either a grade of CR or
NCR is given. To be eligible for
this option students must be in good
academic standing, not on academic
probation. Only one such course
per semester is permitted and no
more than twelve semester credits in
such courses may be presented
toward a student’s degree
requirements.
Additionally, this
credit/no credit option may not be
selected in courses which satisfy
major, minor or general education
requirements. Students must apply
at the Registrar’s Office during the
six-day add period if they want to
enroll in a graded course under the

ACADEMIC POLICIES • 22

�credit/no credit policy. This option
may not be changed after the six-day
add period. Academic performance
at the level of 2.00 or higher is
required for the credit, CR, grade.
Instructors are not advised of a
student’s option to be graded
credit/no credit.
Certain courses are always offered
with a credit/no credit grading
format.
Such courses have this
information in their official course
descriptions and course syllabi. The
above policy and limitations do not
apply to these courses.

CREDIT BY
EXAMINATION
There are three examination
processes by which a student may
earn credit for individual courses or
general education requirements;
Advanced Placement, CLEP and
departmental examinations. Proc­
esses for taking Advanced Placement
and CLEP examinations are
described in the Admissions section
of this Catalog. Students must be
admitted to a degree program before
being eligible to receive credit by
examination. A maximum of 30
credits may be earned by
examination. CLEP examinations, if
available, will be used to determine
whether credit shall be granted.
Departments may provide their own
examinations for certain courses.
Students should inquire at the
academic department offering the
course whether a departmental
examination is available.
If an
examination is available, the school
dean’s written approval to take the
examination must be obtained.

fee amount will be equivalent to that
for CLEP exams and students will
not be charged tuition for the credits
earned. An examination grade of
2.00 or better is required for credit
to be earned. Course and credit
earned by examination shall be
recorded on the student’s transcript
with the grade marked as CR. Some
universities may not accept for
transfer, credit earned by
departmental examination.

TRANSCRIPTS
Students desiring transcripts of their
Lake Superior State University
records must present or send a
written request to the Registrar’s
Office. Information such as name
(at enrollment), ID number, dates of
attendance is necessary. A fee may
be charged for each copy of the
record.
The official record of the student’s
academic progress (transcript) will
be forwarded only to those places or
persons requested in writing by the

�THE PRIVACY ACT
Section 438 of the General
Education Provisions Act, as
amended, sets forth the requirements
to be met by an educational
institution to protect the privacy of
students. This Act is called the
Family Educational Rights and
Privacy Act and shall be referred to
hereafter as the Act. The Act
generally governs access to student
educational records and the release
of such records. The Act also
requires that institutions of higher
education must provide students
access to official records directly
related to the student and an
opportunity for a hearing to
challenge such records on the
grounds that they are inaccurate,
misleading or inappropriate.
Educational institutions must also
obtain written consent before
releasing personally identifiable data
about students from records to other
than a specified list of exceptions.
In addition, students must be notified
of these rights.
In accordance with provisions of the
Act and the regulations enacted by
the Department of Health, Education
and Welfare, Lake Superior State
University has adopted the following
policies and procedures:

Right

to

a

Hearing
The Act provides an opportunity for
a hearing in order to challenge the
content of a student’s educational
record to insure that the record does
not contain inaccurate or misleading
information or is in violation of the
privacy or other rights of the
student. This procedure may not be
utilized to challenge grades awarded
The following
to students,
procedure will be implemented after
the decision of denial is made by the
official responsible for maintaining
the record.
Procedure of Hearing
A student desiring a hearing on the
decision of denial to amend the
record by the official establishing
such records must:
1. Submit a written request for a
hearing to the Hearing Officer,
the Registrar, Fletcher Center.
2. Designate in the request:

students.
The student may be assisted or
represented by individuals of the
student’s choice and at the student’s
expense, including an attorney.

�STUDENT
OF BEHAVIOR
Membership in the University Community carries with it both privileges and
responsibilities. The University cannot accept acts that interfere with the basic
process of the academic enterprise, nor acts which interfere with the rights of
other members of its community. Following are the basic regulations which
govern the behavior and conduct on the Lake Superior State University campus:
1. ASSEMBLY: No person, or
persons, shall assemble in a manner
which obstructs the free movement
of persons about the campus, or the
free and normal use of University
buildings and facilities, or prevents
or obstructs the normal operation of
the University.
2. ALCOHOL AND DRUGS:
Any student found guilty of being
under the influence of drugs, or
possessing, or selling drugs or
narcotics will be subject to
immediate dismissal from the
University,
Any student who
disregards the laws of the State
regarding drinking as a minor is
subject to disciplinary action
including fines, or dismissal for
repeated offenses. A student of 21
years of age who purchases alcoholic
beverages for minors, or who
participates in any way, faces not
only legal action from the State but
additional penalty from the
University.
The laws of the State of Michigan
prohibit the sale of alcoholic
beverages on any unlicensed
premise. No alcohol may be offered
for sale on any unlicensed portion of
the University campus, and no
hidden fee (such as admissions
charges, charges for food, etc.) may

be used to hide or conceal a charge
Any
for alcoholic beverages,
organization, group, or individual
offering alcohol to others anywhere
on the campus shall be required to
follow provisions of the University’s
alcohol policy, distributed annually
to all campus residents. Violators
may suffer loss of campus
privileges, disciplinary action by the
University, and prosecution by civil
authorities.
3. CHEATING AND PLAGIA­
RISM: The assumption of the
academic contract is that the student
does his or her own work: any
breach of the contract is considered
cheating. The faculty member who
detects a student cheating may take
appropriate action, such as assigning
a failing grade for the entire course.
A student who cheats is subject to
dismissal from the University. If, in
the opinion of the faculty member
involved, such action in warranted,
he or she will notify the chairman of
the scholastic standards committee
and the student to that effect in
writing. The scholastic standards
committee will then conduct a
hearing in such a manner that the
student is given due process. If the
committee decides that dismissal is
warranted, the student shall have

STUDENT STANDARDS • 34

�STANDARDS
AND CONDUCT
five school days to appeal that
decision to the provost of the
University.
4. COMPLIANCE WITH UNI­
VERSITY OFFICIALS: Students
are expected to comply with the
directions of University officials who
are acting in accordance with the
performance of their duties. Failure
to comply with such directions shall
be considered a serious disciplinary
violation.
5. FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS:
A student’s fees, loans, fines,
driving and parking penalties, etc.
are his or her responsibilities and
must be paid when due. Delay in
attention to financial responsibilities
may require some or all of the
following actions by the University:
it may withhold official transcripts,
prohibit further registration, remove
registration if already granted,
withhold further forms of financial
aid, and in severe cases, seek legal
action from outside agencies,
including the State of Michigan
itself.
6. FIREARMS AND EXPLO­
SIVES: Explosives, firecrackers,
concealed weapons and similar items
are not permitted on campus.
Firearms are permitted, but must be
registered and stored by the office of
campus security. Any student who
keeps firearms anywhere in the
dormitory system will face dismissal
from the University.

7. GUEST SPEAKERS: Only
student organizations formally
recognized by the University may
invite speakers to the campus.
Reservations for rooms or lecture
halls for guest speakers are made
through the director of student
activities.
8. HOUSING: University housing
regulations are published annually in
the Housing Handbook. Students
failing to comply with these
regulations may suffer a variety of
disciplinary penalties, including
separation from the housing system
or separation from the University
itself.
9. I.D. CARDS: All students
enrolled in this institution are issued
an identification card to facilitate
recognition for the library, for
cashing checks, for campus voting,
for admission to campus activities,
etc. Misuse or alteration of the
University identification card,
current or expired, is considered a
serious offense subject to
disciplinary action.
10. PARKING: All students who
operate motor vehicles on campus
must register them each year
(normally accomplished during
registration). Annual registration
decals will be issued upon payment
of fees and evidence of a valid
operator’s license.
All vehicles
(with decals attached) must be
parked in areas assigned. Parking
and traffic ordinances will be

STUDENT STANDARDS • 35

�enforced and violators will be
assessed fines and may have their
campus registration and campus
driving privileges revoked. Special
parking arrangements can be made
for health and personal hardship
reasons at the Administration
Building Parking Office. Parking
and traffic violations are civil
infractions and may be referred to
91st District Court.
11. RECORDS: It is the specific
responsibility of the student to give
honest and complete replies to all
questions included in application
forms, financial aid forms, and in all
other University documents. Failure
to give correct and complete
information can result in cancellation
of the student’s registration.
Forgery or alteration on or of any
University document or record can
result in the separation of the student
from the University.
12. STUDENT NOTICES:
Student notices, posters, etc. must
be cleared for posting by the Center
for Student Services before being
placed on bulletin boards.
Maintenance personnel have been
instructed to remove all unauthorized
material from bulletin boards each
day. Normally posters and notices
will not exceed 17” by 22” in size.
13. STUDENT
ORGANIZATIONS: No student
organizations may use campus
facilities to solicit funds, or schedule
activities unless such organizations
have been approved by the
University. Approval of University
clubs and their operations must be in
accordance with University policies.
No organization which practices
either racial or sexual discrimination
will receive support, either directly
or indirectly from the University.

14. THEFT:
Property of the
University, as well as that of
individuals, must be respected.
Theft of any kind, whether of money
or of other property, is prohibited.
The destruction or mutilation of
books, magazines, or other library
material will not be tolerated. Theft
of, damage to, or destruction of the
property of others is considered a
serious offense against the
University community, and will
result in the separation of the student
from the University.
15. TREATMENT OF OTHERS:
Abuse, either physical or verbal, of
any person on University-owned or
controlled property, or at Universitysponsored or supervised functions,
will result in disciplinary action by
the University. No conduct will be
permitted which threatens or
endangers the health or safety of any
I person on the University campus or
at University related activities.

�ADMISSIONS
FRESHMEN
Prospective freshmen still in high
school may make application to Lake
Superior State University any time
during the final year of high school.
Applications for admission are
processed continuously and students
are notified as quickly as possible.
A final transcript of courses
completed during the final year must
be submitted to the Admissions
Office promptly after completion of
the school year. Failure to provide
a final transcript will result in the
withdrawal of an offer of admission.
An official score report from
American College Testing (ACT)
must also be submitted prior to class
registration.
Prospective freshmen who have
already graduated from high school
but not attended any college or
university must have an official
transcript sent directly from their
high school to the Admissions
Office. The transcript must include
all courses taken, starting with grade
nine, and graduation certification.
Admitted applicants who graduated
from high school fewer than 26
months prior to the date they wish to
enter the University must submit
their scores from American College
Testing (ACT) prior to registering
for classes.
The primary factor in evaluating an
application for admission is the
individual’s grade point average
starting with grade nine. All courses
are meEluded in the average.
Seventy-five piercent of the freshmen
admitted to L SSU have an overall
high school grade point average of
2.50 or higher. The top 25 percent
of the admitted freshmen have an
overall high school grade point
♦average of 3.22 or higher. The

average overall high school grade
point average for admitted freshmen
is 2.98 on a scale of 4.0. Secondary
factors which may also influence the
admission decision are the number
of academic courses an applicant has
completed, the trend from year to
year of the applicant’s grades, class
rank, and recommendations. ACT
scores are rarely a factor in the
admissions decision.
All credentials should be submitted
to the Admissions Office at least
three weeks before the semester of
entry. However, if available spaces
become filled, application processing
will end at an earlier date.
To qualify for admission as
freshmen, applicants are expected to
be graduates of accredited secondary
schools. Any student graduating
from a non-accredited school should
contact the Director of Admissions
for an explanation of the testing
procedure used to evaluate an
applicant who has attended a nonaccredited school.
Students denied regular admission
have at least two alternatives:
1. Apply for possible enrollment

witnin the Division of General
Studies. For more information
on this enrollment option refer to
the description of the Division of
General Studies located later
within this section.

2. Reapply for admission after
attending another accredited
college of their choice and

STUDENTS
Former full-time Lake Superior State
University students who interrupted
their enrollments for one or more
semesters, except summer, must
apply for readmission prior to the
semester of intended reentry.
Students apply by obtaining a readmission application from the

Admissions Office. There is no
application processing fee for
students seeking readmission.
However, applicants who have
attended another college since
leaving Lake Superior State
University must have official
transcripts sent from the college
attended and meet the terms of the
University’s transfer student
admissions policy.

GUEST STUDENTS
A student who is regularly enrolled
at another college or university may
be admitted to Lake Superior State
University as a guest student. A
guest admission is valid for only one
semester. However, under exten­
uating circumstances this may be
extended for one additional semester
by submitting another guest
application. Any student intending
to enroll for more than one semester
must submit an application for
admission as a transfer student.
Guest student applications may be
obtained from the Admissions Office
at Lake Superior State University or
any other college or university in
Michigan. Guest students assume
full responsibility for determining
whether courses taken at Lake
Superior State University will apply
to their programs of study at the
college from which they intend to
graduate.

average for all courses taken starting
with grade nine.
The Admissions Office uses two
grading scales, shown below, when
evaluating an Ontario secondary
school applicant. OAC and A level
courses are considered more
demanding and their content more
appropriate preparation for
university-level courses than are G
level courses. B level courses are
never included in the grade point
average.
Secondary factors which may also
influence the admission decision are
the number of academic courses an
applicant has completed, the trend
from year to year of the applicant’s
grades, and recommendations.
Students denied regular admission
have at least two alternatives:
1. Apply for possible enrollment
within the Division of General
Studies. For more information
on this enrollment option refer to
the description of the Division of
General Studies located later
within this section.
2. Reapply for admission after
attending another accredited
college of their choice and
earning at least 30 semester (45
quarter) hours of transferable
credit.
The evaluation for
admission is then based upon the

college record rather than the
high school record.
A report of ACT scores is required
from all Ontario secondary school
students. ACT scores are used for
counseling and placement purposes,
rather than as a factor in the
admissions decision.
Additional information for Ontario
secondary school students is
available in Informational Handbook
for Ontario Students and Guidance
Counselors, published by the
Admissions Office.
Canadian applicants from provinces
other than Ontario are also welcome
and will be evaluated on the basis of
the education system in their
provinces.

ONTARIO GRADE
13/0AC COURSES
Students who completed grade 13 or
OAC courses before September,
1990 receive transfer credit at the
University for each course in which
a final mark of at least 60 percent
was earned. Transfer credit will not
be granted for OAC courses
completed after that date. However,
completion of OAC courses prepares
some students to earn credit through
testing. Up to 30 semester hours of
credit may be earned by achieving
satisfactory scores on CLEP tests
and departmental examinations given
on the campus. If information about

PART-TIME
ENROLLMENT
Students wishing to attend on a parttime basis may enroll for up to
eleven credits per semester in
courses for which they have
sufficient academic background.
Unless high school students have
special permission from their
principals, part-time enrollment is
limited to those whose high school
class has already graduated. Parttime students not seeking degrees or
certificates, are not required to apply
formally for admission prior to
enrollment.
A course registration form must be
completed during the registration
period for each semester of
attendance,
These forms are
available through the University’s
Registrar/Scheduling and Commu­
nity Services and Development
offices.
Should a part-time student later
desire full-time enrollment (12 or
more credits per semester), or elect
to seek degree/certificate status, the
student must submit a completed
application for admission with a $20
non-refundable application pro­
cessing fee, have the required
official transcripts sent to the
Admissions Office and meet all
admission requirements for Lake
Superior State University.
Part-time students are not officially
assigned to faculty advisors.
However, they are encouraged to
seek assistance in selecting courses

from the appropriate academic
schools at Lake Superior State
University.

TECH PREP
The national Tech Prep movement is
supported at Lake Superior State
University. As a testimony of its
institutional support, grades earned
in applied high school science and
mathematics courses contribute to
the high school GPA computed for
university admission. Tech prep,
with its emphasis upon curricular
integration between secondary and
postsecondary educational insti­
tutions, assists Lake Superior State
University in creating a broader
array of educational options for its
students.
Lake Superior State believes that
Tech Prep agreements open career
doors and professional pathways for
high school students in applied
sciences, business, allied health and
technology. In keeping with the
national Tech Prep movement, Lake
Superior State University has created
articulation agreements with area
high schools to enhance applied and
career educational opportunities at
the postsecondary level. In tandem
with its regional secondary education
partners, the university has created
pathways to applied education for
specified curricula in business and
technology. University course credit

in your high school may applyAdditional tech prep articulations

�developed. Tech prep is an educa­
tional outreach effort strongly
compatible with the mission of the
institution. Applied skills developed
in high school set the stage for
postsecondary education across a
range of career and professional
fields available at Lake Superior
State University. The LSSU Office
of Career Planning and Placement
can provide additional information
for perspective students and parents.

DIVISION OF
GENERAL STUDIES
Division of General Studies (DGS)
provides comprehensive academic
support services to all Lake Superior
State University students.

ACADEMIC ADVISING
Academic advising for the
provisional enrollment option. DGS
provides an enrollment opportunity
that would enable selected students
(minimum prerequisite cumulative
grade point average and measured
academic capacity indicators apply in
order to qualify) possessing a high
level of desire and drive, along with
the necessary academic capacity, to
pursue a college education which
would begin under certain
provisions. A provisional admission

for academic advising and are
expected to meet certain educational
and student support outcomes within
four semesters (full or part-time).
The enrollment option will end for
those students not able to complete
the outcomes within this allotted
time.

WHYDGS
For those students not meeting the
regular admissions requirements, the
college experience is especially
difficult. Even though there are no
guarantees even for regular admits,
DGS provides a comprehensive
supportive program which does
provide serious students, who are
carefully selected, the opportunity to
do well.

FINANCIAL AID
Financial aid is available to students
enrollment in DGS and the student’s
eligibility for such aid is not affected
by enrollment into DGS.

LENGTH OF DGS
While enrolled in DGS the student is
assigned to a DGS licensed
professional counselor who works
very closely with the student’s
respective academic department in
the academic advising process in
order to fully utilize that
department’s particular expertise
wherever appropriate.
DGS creates course schedules which
are personalized to meet the needs
and capabilities of each individual
student. These needs vary as much
as the uniqueness of one student
varies from another. The length of
time necessary to make a full,
successful transition varies from one
individual to another. However, the
student’s course schedule and
support services are based upon
competency and personal adjustment
so that students may exit as soon as
they are ready. Consequently, some
students will be ready by the end of
their first semester, while others
may take the four semesters. Some
students will find that they will still
be able to graduate right on

NOTES

�STUDENT SERVICES
The University recognizes the value of a well-rounded program for student
development, and encourages students to participate in student activities. Students
should carefully consider their choice of activities according to their special
interests. There are opportunities to participate in the programs of the honorary,
social, and profession^ organizations, special interest clubs, student publications,
intramural, and intercollegiate activities.
Formation of clubs, of such personal
interest groups as camera and
amateur radio clubs, and of musical,
dramatic, and other organizations is
encouraged. Intramural athletics are
stressed, and varsity teams
representing Lake Superior State
University compete in several
athletic conferences.
Students are encouraged to take part
in outdoor activity. Good hunting
and excellent fishing are found
within a few miles of the University.
Favorite winter sports are skating,
hockey, snowshoeing, tobogganing,
ice fishing and skiing.
The H. Thayer Fletcher Center
houses a variety of offices providing
services to students: admissions,
financial aid, placement, and
registrar/scheduling, among others.
It is named after a man who visited
the campus one summer day in 1973
while back in his home town for a
few days "to arrange for some
scholarships." He set up a $25,000
fund to be paid in at $5,000 a year
for five years. Upon his death in
1979 the University learned that he
had left the bulk of his estate to
expand this scholarship fund to
almost more than a quarter of a
million dollars.

STUDENT SENATE
The Governing Body for many
student activities is the Student
Senate. All students are eligible for
election to Senate membership and
are encouraged to participate in this
active student organization. The
Senate each spring selects its future
officers. It meet regularly during
the academic year. Some annual
events sponsored by the Senate:
Winter Carnival and various
lectures, motion pictures and
entertainments.

"Financial hardship" shall be defined
for this purpose as a situation in
which the total resources of the
student and family added to the total
financial aid available from the
University do not equal the dollar

aids office as the minimum required
for on-campus residency. In such a
situation, the student will be con­
sidered to face two alternatives: a-)
withdrawing from the dormitory or
b.) withdrawing from the University-

�An example of a student who might
be released from the dormitory
under the above definition would be
one whose financial situation
changed suddenly during the year
(perhaps due to the death of a
parent) and who applies for
assistance, after the aid program is
depleted.
A complete and modem cafeteria is
located in the Walker Cisler Center.
The Center also has a snack bar,
informal lounges and recreational
areas.
A number of modem student
apartments are available on campus.
Married students or groups of single
students desiring living accommo­
dations should contact the housing
manager.
The Student Village and Townhouse
units were constructed with a loan
from the Federal Government which
is to be repaid from the room
rentals. The University Board of
Regents, in obtaining this loan
agreed to provide for maximum
occupancy and use of the buildings.
As a result, the University reserves
the right to transfer students to the
Townhouses or the Student Village
To avoid
during the year,
unnecessary inconvenience, such
transfers are normally made between
semesters.

COUNSELING/
TESTING
All students are encouraged to avail
themselves of the counseling and
testing services.
Several
professional counselors are available
at the student counseling center to
assist students with their academic,
personal, or vocational problems.

counseling program, which has
proven throughout the years to be
invaluable in helping students assess
their interests and potentials, is
STUDENT

available to all students to help them
decide upon their educational and
career goals.
The center maintains a complete file
of individual test folders, which
includes all orientation test results
for our students. Those who wish to

�FINANCIAL AID
The University strives to reward the scholar and to meet the needs of the many
students who apply for financial assistance. A combination of University, state
and federal programs enable many students to receive a "financial aid package"
which may include a combination of scholarship, loan, grant, and/or work
assistance. Priority in aid awards will be to full-time undergraduate students.
All students should carefully consider the full cost of their education, parental
support, and savings, including savings from summer employment, in determining
their need for financial aid. Students with excellent high school or community
college grades are encouraged to apply for scholarships regardless of need.
Students with need will be considered for loans, grants, and/or employment on the
basis of need established from the Free Application for Federal Student Aid
(FAFSA).
Applications for all financial aid programs are available from the Office of Student
Financial Aid. The staff of this office will be happy to counsel with applicants and
their parents concerning the costs of attending the University, availability of
financial aid, and application procedures.
All applications for financial aid must be received by April 1. Financial
Statements (FAFSA) must be postmarked on or before March 1.

Applying
Prospective students wishing to
apply for financial aid should
complete the financial aid section of
the application for admission; forms
may be obtained from high school
principals or counselors or by

Students already enrolled may secure
applications in the Financial Aid
Office.
Applications should be submitted to
the University as soon as possible
and must be on file by April 1 to be
considered for the fall semester
beginning in September.

Scholarship requirements: Incoming
freshmen must be in the upper onefourth of their graduating class and

RETAINING AID

(SATISFACTORY PROGRESS
POLICY)
A policy of great importance to
students receiving financial aid
defines the rate of academic
progress and success which must
be met if financial aid is to be
retained. If you are receiving any
form of financial aid, please study
the following section carefully:
Financial aid regulations require
satisfactory progress for students to
remain eligible for financial aid.
Programs affected by this policy are:
Federal Pell Grant, Federal Perkins
Student Loan, Federal College
Work-Study, Federal Supp lemental
Educational Opportunity Grant, the
Federal Stafford Student Loan
Programs, Board of Regents
Scholarships, Board of Regents
Grant,
Michigan Competitive
Scholarship, and all other
institutional scholarships and grants.
The following is tne minimum
requirement for all types of financial
aid; however, there are some types
of aid, such as scholarships, with
more stringent requirements:
Every student must maintain, at the
end of each semester, a cumulative
grade point average (GPA) of at
least:
Credits
Attempted
0-25
26-55
56-87
88 +

Cumulative
GPA
1.70
1.86
1.93
1.97

APPLICATION OF
POLICY
First-year freshmen and new transfer
students not meeting the GPA
requirement after their first semester
will be placed on Financial Aid
Probation for one semester. The
cumulative GPA after the
probationary semester must satisfy
the minimum GPA or the student
will have their financial aid
suspended. Students enrolled for
more than one semester will not
have a probationary semester and
must meet the schedule above.
Quantitative Standards:
Students are expected to complete an
associate degree in six semesters, a
four-year degree in twelve
semesters, and a masters in six
semesters of full-time study.

semesters before reinstatement of aid
is possible.

FEDERAL PELL
GRANTS
For most students, Federal student
aid begins with PELL Grants, which
provide a foundation of financial
assistance to which other forms of
aid may be added. A distinguishing
feature of this program is its centrrn
concept of "entitlement," which
guarantees that students who
demonstrate need will receive a
grant based on that need and on the
cost of education at the post­
secondary school they choose to
attend.
PELL Grants for the award period
(July 1, 1994 to June 30, 1995) will
range up to $2,300 as determined by
a standard formula.

FINANCIAL AID • 78

�To be eligible for a PELL Grant,
students must:
1. be determined to have financial
need;
2. be undergraduates accepted for
admission and enrolled in
eligible programs;
3. be U.S. citizens or permanent
residents; and
4. not in default on a Stafford or
Perkins Student Loan, and not

Financial Aid Office uses a standard
procedure established by the
Department of Education to calculate
the amount of the award.
To apply, applicants must complete
the Free Application for Federal
Student Aid (FAFSA). Forms are

FEDERAL
SUPPLEMENTAL
EDUCATIONAL
OPPORTUNITY

the exact amount being proportional
to the support that can reasonably be
expected from their families.

eration in the selection of grant
recipients. Priority is given to Pell

only necessary to gain admission to
the University in order to be eligible
for the grant.
Recipients are

LOANS
FEDERAL PERKINS
LOANS (National
Direct Student Loans)
The Perkins Student Loan program
is for students who are enrolled at
least half-time in an eligible program
and need a loan to meet their
educational expenses.
Students may borrow up to $3,000
for each year of undergraduate
study.
The maximum debt for
undergraduates is $15,000. The
amount awarded by the University is
generally less due to limited funds.
Repayment begins nine months after
students graduate or leave school for
other reasons. Students may be
allowed up to ten years to pay back
the loan, and during the repayment
period they will be charged five
percent interest on the unpaid
balance of the loan principal.
The amount of the repayment
depends upon the size of the debt
and ability to pay; but in most cases,
students must pay at least $40 a
month unless the school agrees to a
lesser amount. This agreement for
a lesser amount may be due to
extraordinary circumstances such as
prolonged unemployment.
Default: If a student defaults on a
Perkins Loan and the school is
unable to collect, the Federal

Government will take action to
recover the loan. If such student is
discharged in bankruptcy, becomes
totally or permanently disabled or
dies, loan obligations will be
cancelled.
Deferment of payment is available
while borrower is:
A. enrolled and in attendance as
at least a half-time student at
an institution of higher
education;
B. for any period not to exceed
three (3) years during which
borrower is:
(1) unable to find full-time
employment,
(2) experiencing economic
hardship

�POLITICAL SCIENCE
Political Science is the systematic study of government and politics. Since
government and politics are found at many levels-intemational, national, state,
and local—and all over the world, political science has many facets. All of these
facets receive attention in the political science program at Lake Superior State
University.
The goal of the curriculum is to
prepare students interested in
government and politics for
rewarding careers and lifetimes of
learning and involvement. To best
achieve this goal, three distinct
concentrations or tracks are available
for students of political science:
1. general political science
2 pre-law
3. public administration.

Each concentration has been
designed to provide a combination of
knowledge and skills that is uniquely
appropriate for those with particular
career goals. However, choosing
one concentration over the others
does not limit a student to one
particular career path-each of the
concentrations provides a solid
grounding in political science.

BACHELOR OF ARTS/SCIENCE

POLITICAL SCIENCE - GENERAL
The general political science concentration is designed to provide a broad
ducation in political science. It is most appropriate for students who plan to
ittend graduate school in political science and for those with an interest in
government and politics who wish to get a broad, liberal education as preparation
for a career in business, government, or journalism. Students who continue their
education in graduate school most often pursue careers as professors, researchers,
consultants, or government officials. Students who do not pursue graduate study
choose from a wide variety of career options in business, government, and
journalism.

�BACHELOR OF ARTS/SCIENCE

POLITICAL SCIENCE - PRE-LAW
The pre-law concentration provides students of political science interested in legal
careers with a planned curriculum that prepares them especially well for law
school and for careers in law. Students who choose this option are often interested
in careers as attorneys, prosecutors, or judges. It should be noted that this is not
a mandatory pre-law curriculum; it is a curriculum for pre-law students who have
a special interest in government and politics.
Noteworthy features of this concen­
tration are a special course on the
nature of legal careers and how to
prepare for them; two courses in
legal research and writing that
provide students with a head start in
using a law library and in
conducting legal research; and a
well-designed combination of
support courses in logic, debate,
writing, accounting, and research.

POLITICAL SCIENCE - PUBLIC
ADMINISTRATION
The public administration concentration is most appropriate for students who plan
to work in an administrative capacity in public agencies or nonprofit org
with public missions. Students who choose this option are preparing
of public service. Such careers may be pursued through positions^
agencies at the local, state or provincial, and national levels. Other p

�be found in nonprofit organizations involved in public concerns, such as Common
Cause, the Environmental Defense Fund, and the Michigan Health Council. Some
of these careers of public service may be pursued with only a bachelor’s degree.
Others may require completion of a master’s degree in public administration or a
related field.
Senior public administration students
will complete an internship as part
of their education. Internships allow
students to apply the knowledge they
have gained in the classroom in an
on-the-job setting. They are also
valuable for creating a record of
experience that will impress prospec­
tive employers and help the student
become established in a career.
Internships, which are arranged with
the assistance of an advisor, are
available with local, state or
provincial, and federal agencies.

PRELAW
No prescribed course of study can be recommended to all students who plan to
attend law school. Students entering law school choose undergraduate majors from
a wide variety of fields. However, a pre-law concentration is offered in the
political science curriculum, and various law courses are offered as a part of the
legal assistant studies program at Lake Superior State University. See the
appropriate political science and legal assistant studies program listings.
Students interested in a legal career
should consult with the pre-law
advisor, Professor Carol Andary,
early and often during their
Pre-law
undergraduate studies,
planning, based on consultation with
the advisor, will allow the student to
make an informed choice of
curriculum and of elective courses
that will help with the development
of the skills mentioned below. The
pre-law advisor will also provide
pre-law students with a variety of
materials about admission to law
school, the law school admission
test, and careers in law.
A student’s undergraduate grade
point average and his or her score
on the Law School Admission Test
(LSAT) are the two most important
criteria for admission to law school.
Details on admission policies of law

schools throughout the country, and
the degree to which these schools
may use other criteria in addition to
grade point average and LSAT
score, may be found in the Pre-Law
Handbook.
This handbook is
published by the Law School
Admission Council/Law School
Admission Services and is the
official law school guide. It may be
examined by contacting the pre-law
advisor or purchased in many book
stores.
Although there is no prescribed
major which must be taken for
admission to law school, some
curricula may be better than others
in helping students develop skills
necessary for admission to law
school and for a successful legal
career. A broad and challenging
undergraduate curriculum is the best
The
preparation for law school. T.

ARTS, LETTERS AND SOCIAL SCIENCES • 115

�iy&gt;-i gw Handbook stresses that a
student’s undergraduate education
should lead to the dey,exloPme!JVw
skills in three areas: (1) the ability
to understand and express oneself
well in words, (2) the development
of a critical understanding ot the
human institutions and values with
which the law deals, and (3) the
development of creative power in

thinking. A pre-law student should
consider the need to develop these
skills in selecting his or her
curriculum. In addition, students
should think about whether the
curriculum they choose can provide
an alternative to a career in law
should they eventually choose not to
pursue a legal career.

understanding will be the basis for working with groups of children and will
culminate in a practicum.
Graduates of this program normally
seek positions with day care centers,
day care homes, head start
programs, residential homes, and
other facilities designed for the care
and development of the preschool
child,
Graduates wishing to
continue their education can

may or may not be Native American
themselves. Students intending to
eventually work in a Native
American setting or who may often
work with Native Americans are
likely to benefit from the
information and new perspectives
gained from the experiences
provided by the minor. The Native
American Studies minor is also
appropriate for students who are
simply interested in and wish to
explore the Native American culture
of our area. Individual courses
within the Native American Studies
minor may be of interest and value
to both full and part-time students
across the campus community.
Approximately 25% of the
population in the local service area
of Lake Superior State University is
Native American. There are also a
substantial number of Native
Americans in the broader service
region of the University, both in
Michigan and Ontario. The Native
American Studies minor is designed
to provide valuable background and
current information about Native
American culture and society.

A minor is offered in Native
American Studies, requiring a
minimum of 22 credits.

The courses in the Native American
Studies minor reflect the Native
American experience across time
and throughout North America, but
have a particular focus on issues
which are of particular importance to
Native Americans at the present time
in the Great Lakes area. Course
content will include the study of
Native American history, culture,
and literature. In addition, courses
within the Native American Studies
minor will introduce students to the
structure and operation of tribal
governments and tribal law, as well
as various current Native American
issues and concerns.

The Native American Studies minor
is appropriate for students majoring
in a wide variety of disciplines who

Devaprasad, Steven Gerrish, Patrick M. Grounds, Ajay Mahajan, Alan D. Niemi,
Keith E. Schwiderson, Lester Spencer, and Maurice Walworth.
The Engineering Team: Most activities involving engineering have increased in
complexity so that a team of engineering professionals is required. The size and
cost of engineering endeavors have dictated the employment of professional
engineers, engineering technologists, technicians and skilled craftsmen as a team.
Bachelor of science degrees in engineering technology are offered at LSSU along
with associate degrees in engineering technology. LSSU offers the first two years
of a professional engineering program after which a student can transfer to a
school of engineering. LSSU does not offer training in the skilled trades.

PROGRAMS

accreditation of engineering and
engineering technology education.

The education of engineering
technologists focuses on application
and implementation of current
Engineering
technologies,
technology programs strive to
balance the theoretical and practical
aspects of engineering science.
Typical job responsibilities of
engineering technologists include
product and process design, system
design and implementation, and
operations management. Graduates
with bachelor of science degrees are
adequately prepared for graduate
studies in engineering technology.

B.S. in Engineering Technology:
LSSU offers Bachelor of Science
degrees (4-year) programs in
Automated
Manufacturing,
Electrical/Electronics, Environ­
mental, and Mechanical Engineering
Technology. These programs utilize
mathematics at the calculus level and
provide appropriate laboratory
experiences.

Accreditation: All of the programs
in Engineering Technology, both 4year and 2-year, are accredited by
the Technology Accreditation
Commission of the Accreditation
Board for Engineering and
Technology. The U.S. Department
of Education formally recognizes
this board’s exclusive jurisdiction for

section on Admissions for further
information.
Entrance Requirements: To qualify
for admission as freshmen in
engineering technology, applicants
must be graduates of accredited
secondary schools with above
average standing in their class. The
secondary school preparation should
include a four-year curriculum of at
least 15 units of acceptable entrance
credits.
The following subjects
should be included in these credits:
one unit of beginning algebra, one

unit of advanced algebra, and one
unit of science with laboratory. An
additional unit of trigonometry or
geometry is strongly recommended.
Please refer to the section on
Admissions for further information.

BACHELOR OF SCIENCE

Automated Manufacturing Engineering
Technology
The Automated Manufacturilng Engineering Technology program emphasizes the
application of robotics, computer systems and automation to modem
manufacturing. This program combines the disciplines of mechanical, electrical,
computer, and manufacturing engineering technologies in preparing students for
modem manufacturing and production career responsibilities.
The Automated Manufacturing
Engineering Technology (AMET)
program is a capstone program and
therefore assumes a two-year
background in an appropriate
engineering technology or preengineering curriculum. Graduates
will be prepared to design, integrate,
and implement various systems for
automated manufacturing. Technical
courses in the final two years will be
based upon the student’s previous
background and are designed to
produce a well-rounded and versatile
engineering technologist.

An individualized plan of study for
each transfer student will be
generated by the AMET faculty in
consultation with the student. This
plan of study will provide a schedule
of courses needed to fulfill the
AMET degree requirements as set
forth by the University, TAC/
ABET, and the faculty.

NOTES

TRANSFER
STUDENTS
Students from community colleges
with a background in an engineering
technology curriculum can usually
transfer directly into the third year
of the automated manufacturing
program. Most community college
programs in Michigan have transfer
curriculum agreements with LSSU.

In recent years, a quiet revolution has taken place. The computer has move ou
of the back room of large corporations and research institutions into t e ron
offices and living rooms of modem society. Computer scientists wor at ®
leading edge of this revolution, developing software systems that allow us o u 11
the electronic hardware the engineers have built. The work is challenging, an
often frustrating, but is ultimately very rewarding.
The department offers a Bachelor of
Science In Computer and Mathe­
matical Sciences that combines a
study of digital computing with the
study of mathematical concepts.
The resulting program provides
students with considerable versatility
and potential for future endeavors in
which practical quantitative skills are
important. A MINOR in computer
science is also available to provide
excellent support and value to most
majors offered at the University.
This minor is an approved teaching
minor for students planning to teach
at the secondary level.
Entrance Requirements:
To
qualify for admission to the program
in computer and mathematical
sciences, applicants must satisfy
University admission requirements

as described in the Admissions
section of this Catalog. (This

MATHEMATICS
A most productive tool: Mathematics is the foundation of the
sciences and the technology largely responsible for our present
standard of living. Mathematics is one of the most productive tools
yet discovered for unraveling the mysteries of our universe. In
some instances, it is the only language in which some ideas can be
expressed. Courses offered in this discipline provide the foundation
for future work in mathematics. Our teaching objectives are
twofold: to give students an understanding of mathematics, and to
impart an understanding of the many ways in which this tool may be
used.
Career opportunities: Mathematicians are employed as teachers in secondary
schools, colleges and universities. Many work for government agencies sue as
the Department of Defense, National Aeronautics and Space Administration and
the Department of Commerce. Companies providing computer and data
processing services, educational and testing services, and managemen an
actuarial services also employ mathematicians.
Graduate study improves opportunities for mathematicians and students are
encouraged and supported in their graduate school plans and placement. Graduate
study in numerous fields related to mathematics is possible.
Entrance Requirements: To qualify
for admission to the program in
mathematics, applicants must satisfy
University admission requirements
as described in the Admissions

�THREE-YEAR DEGREE PLAN FOR A B.S. IN CRIMINAL
JUSTICE FOLLOWING THE NRT DEGREE.
SEE DEPARTMENT OF BIOLOGY
Students with a particular interest in
state and federal laws enacted to
protect our natural resources and
federal restrictions on the use of our
renewable resources should consider
obtaining both an Associate Degree
in Natural Resources Technology (2
years) and a Bachelor of Science
Degree in Criminal Justice (3
additional years). The NRT degree
will provide the student with a good
general background in natural
resources and the Criminal Justice
degree will allow the student to be
fully qualified for many different

law enforcement opportunities. Jobs
for conservation law offices are
limited, but the above configuration
of degrees prepares a student to be
highly competitive for openings that
do occur. Students selecting this
course of study should work closely
with their advisor in order to
complete both degrees in the five
year span. After completing the
two-year NRT Associate Degree,
students would complete the
following sequence of courses. This
plan assumes MLEOTC certif­
ication. 91 additional hours.

BACHELOR OF SCIENCE

EXERCISE SCIENCE
The Exercise Science major concentrates on developing an understanding of the
physiological and psychological consequences of exercise in various populations,
and applying this knowledge to fitness, clinical and research settings. The need
for exercise science professionals is growing in each of these areas as exercise
continues to occupy a prominent role in enhancing the quality of life and
maintaining health; and, gains prominence in the treatment and prevention of
lifestyle diseases such as cardiovascular disease, hypertension, obesity, and
diabetes. Employment opportunities for exercise science professionals are
becoming more varied and requiring increased levels of expertise and technical
skills. This major is designed to prepare students to meet these professional
challenges through a skill- development approach in the critical areas of exercise
testing and exercise prescription. The required 125 graduation credits emphasize
course work in physiology, pathophysiology, sports medicine, laboratory
procedures, research methods, exercise psychology and computer applications.

�□ Athletic Training Concentration
A person who receives a degree concentration in Athletic Training, which is also
referred to as Sports Medicine, will become a highly skilled professional who
deals directly with injuries which occur to athletes. The athletic trainer works
closely with physicians and other health care professionals in order to provide
today’s athletes with the best medical care possible. Those who pursue a career
in athletic training may seek employment on the high school, college, or
professional sport level. In addition, the athletic trainer may be employed in
sports medicine and health fitness clinics, which have increased in numbers during
the past decade. All the above mentioned positions usually require certification by
the National Athletic Trainers’ Association. Students completing the concentration
at Lake Superior State University will be more marketable in the field of exercise
science and eligible for a variety of graduate programs in athletic training and
sports medicine throughout the country. Any student wishing to achieve eligibility
to sit for the National Athletic Trainers’ Association certification examination will
receive individual guidance in that direction.

RECREATION MANAGEMENT
The Recreation Management degree is a program of study designed to prepare
those students seeking employment opportunities in the recreation/leisure field that
demand sound management skills. Career choices abound within commercial,
resort, industrial, military, municipal, state, federal government, and voluntary
recreation settings. The need for qualified leaders, supervisors, and directors who
possess management and recreation skills is increasing. Career specialization can
be achieved by selecting recreation electives that promote a concentration,
enhancing a degree with a built-in business minor.

THERAPEUTIC RECREATION
With the advancement of the humanistic and holistic philosophy of health care, the
development of Therapeutic Recreation as a profession has been tremendous.
Using prescribed recreational activities as a modality, the Therapeutic Recreation
Specialist improves the physical, social, mental and emotional functioning of
individuals with a variety of limiting conditions. Canadian and American students
graduating with a bachelor of science in Therapeutic Recreation have been very
successful in finding employment in a variety of settings, such as hospitals, homes
for the aged, special recreation associations, prisons, municipal recreation
programs and agencies providing services for the physically, mentally, and
emotionally challenged.

�FISHERIES &amp;
WILDLIFE
Fisheries and wildlife courses place
strong emphasis on understanding
organisms in their habitats and these
courses blend a conceptual under­
standing of fish and wildlife
populations with practical knowledge
of relevant lab and field techniques.
Students work with, and must learn
to identify, a wide variety of plants,
fish, birds, and mammals.
Students graduating from this
rigorous curriculum can meet the
qualifications of state and federal

government agencies as technicians
and biologists. Students desiring
certification by the Wildlife Society
should consult with an advisor for
details. Other career opportunities
include positions as naturalists,
conservation officers, and related
professions,
The rigorous
curriculum provides an extremely
competitive background for
admittance to graduate school. All
students majoring in fisheries and
wildlife management are strongly
encouraged to consider pursuing a
graduate degree.
ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS:

Pre-professional: Medicine, Optometry,
Dentistry, Veterinary Medicine
Professional schools, including
medical, dental, optometry, and
veterinary schools, typically do not
specifically require any college
cfegree, let alone a specific degree in
biology. However, applicants to
professional schools are seldom
accepted with only three years of
undergraduate credit. Further, since
career goals often change, preprofessional students at LSSU are

encouraged to remain four years and
complete the requirements for a
baccalaureate degree. A survey of
medical and dental school admission
requirements for the United States
ana Canada as published by the
American and Canadian Associations
of Medical and Dental Colleges
shows that courses taken for either
the Lake Superior State University
Bachelor of Science or Bachelor of

SCIENCE AND NATURAL RESOURCES • 233

�Arts degree in Biology meet the
most stringent entrance require­
ments. Therefore, although other
curricula may be pursued as preprofessional degrees, most students
elect to strive toward a degree in
biology.
Pre-Professional Advisory Board:
The board consists of representatives
from the disciplines of biology and
chemistry including two preprofessional advisors,
This
committee serves to aid the progress
of all pre-professional students
throughout their undergraduate
careers. In addition to assessing a
student’s progress at the end of their
sophomore year, where possible the
committee will write a formal
recommendation to the appropriate
medical, optometry, veterinary or

dental university. By virtue of our
small size and student to faculty
ratio, we can write an in-depth letter
based upon our personal knowledge
of each student’s abilities and
performance rather than merely
using grade point average and
MCAT, VAT, DAT or OAT scores.
These letters, which take into
account the aspects of the student’s
personality that relate to their
potential as a medical professional,
are highly regarded by the various
professional schools in Michigan as
well as in the province of Ontario.
A handbook is available to all LSSU
pre-health professional students upon
formal admission to our programs.
This handbook is designed to assist
students in achieving their goal of
successful entrance into professional
school.

Pre-Pharmacy (Transfer Program)
The two-year course of study
outlined below is a guide for those
who plan to apply for admission and
transfer to a three-year professional
pharmacy curriculum at another
institution,
In Michigan, such
programs are offered at Ferris State
University, University of Michigan,
and Wayne State University. For
further information and planning,
students are advised to consult
catalogs from these or other
institutions. Generally, application
for admission to a professional
pharmacy curriculum must be
submitted after completing the first
year of pre-pharmacy studies.

Usually students must have a
cumulative grade point average of
2.00 as well as grades of C or better
in sciences and mathematics.
Students entering Ferris State
University with one year of high
school physics may pass a physics
proficiency examination in lieu of
the year of college physics. If the
latter courses are not taken, a
sequence of humanities or behavioral
science courses is recommended.
The following suggested schedule,
for instance, is recommended and
meets all requirements for admission
to the School of Pharmacy of Ferris
State University.

�THREE-YEAR DEGREE PLAN FOR A B.S. IN CRIMINAL
JUSTICE FOLLOWING THE NRT DEGREE.
Students with a particular interest in
state and federal laws enacted to
protect our natural resources and
federal restrictions on the use of our
renewable resources should consider
obtaining both an Associate Degree
in Natural Resources Technology (2
years) and a Bachelor of Science
Degree in Criminal Justice (3
additional years). The NRT degree
will provide the student with a good
general background in natural
resources and the Criminal Justice
degree will allow the student to be
fully qualified for many different

law enforcement opportunities. Jobs
for conservation law offices are
limited, but the above configuration
of degrees prepares a student to be
highly competitive for openings that
do occur. Students selecting this
course of study should work closely
with their advisor in order to
complete both degrees in the five
year span. After completing the
two-year NRT Associate Degree,
students would complete the
following sequence of courses. This
plan assumes MLEOTC certif­
ication. 91 additional hours.

�DEPARTMENT OF

CHEMISTRY AND
ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE
Environmental
Chemistry
Environmental Chemistry is a
relatively new, fast-growing
subdiscipline of Chemistry that
addresses the need of society for a
safe, healthy environment by
applying chemical principles to the
maintenance and enhancement of
environmental quality. Chemicals
have increased our standard of living
and quality of life, but have also
exacted a heavy price in terms of
pollution and environmental
degradation. It is only through the
enlightened application of chemistry
that the problems caused by
chemicals can be solved and
environmental quality improved.
Anyone entering into an environ­
mental field, as well as those
entering the chemical profession,
should have a basic understanding of
environmental chemistry. The envi­
ronmental sector is the fastest
growing component of the U.S.
economy, and shortages are greatest
in the areas of environmental
chemistry as well as environmental
engineering. The Environmental
Chemistry program at Lake Superior
State University is intended for
students who have an interest in and
aptitude for chemistry and a concern
for the environment. The program
takes advantage of LSSU’s strategic
location at the outlet of Lake
Superior, which provides for a broad

variety of field and research
experiences,
Graduates of the
program will apply chemical
methods to the study, amelioration,
and solution of environmental
problems. They will be employable
by federal and state or provincial
agencies, industries, and businesses,
and as environmental consultants.
ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS:
Those planning to enroll in the
program should have completed at
least 15 units of acceptable entrance
credits at an accredited secondary
school with above average standing
in their class. The credits must
include one unit of beginning
algebra, one-half unit of advancer
algebra, one unit of geometry, on&lt;
unit of chemistry, and three units ot
English.
An additional year of
chemistry and a year of senior math
are highly recommended.

�DEPARTMENT

GEOLOGY AND PHYSICS
Since the Beginning of the solar system our earth has been developing. Our
present environment is the result of the cumulative interaction of many dynamic
physical, chemical and biological processes.
Geology deals with the dynamic
earth, its physical makeup, and its
physical and organic history. It
involves the study of changes which
have taken place and the forces
which cause, and are now causing,
these changes.
By drawing on
concepts of biology, chemistry,
mathematics and physics, geologists
attempt to understand the physical
environment in which we live and
from which we derive most of the
natural resources essential to our
civilization.
Our civilization
requires many non-renewable natural
resources in order to survive. Since
the turn of the century, we have
used more and more of these
resources at an ever-increasing rate
and now have critical supply
problems. Our demands upon the
environment have significantly
changed the earth around us, and, if
we are to survive, we must live
within the constraints imposed by
nature.
Geologists study and
understand these constraints. They
must apply their knowledge to
achieve harmony between the human
race and its environment.
Geology has a broad scientific base
in mathematics, physics, biology and
chemistry as well as emphasizing
fundamentals of geologic science and
geophysics. Increases in the demand
for energy fuels and mineral
products result in an expansion of
opportunities for graduates in
Students contemplating
geology.
careers in geology should, upon

graduating, expect to travel, often to
remote and uninhabited areas. Most
of the jobs entail outdoor field work,
often under difficult conditions.
Other new fields are now requiring
geologists, such as NASA, EPA,
and companies and agencies involved
with environmental concerns. The
geological environment of Lake
Superior State University provides
unexcelled opportunities for field
study of classic sections illustrating
Precambrian stratigraphy, structure,
intrusions, and metamorphism and
undisturbed Paleozoic sedimentary
formations. Proximity to deposits of
iron, copper, uranium, dolomite and
the Michigan oil and gas fields as
well as other minerals is an
additional advantage. Students are
eligible to participate in the
department’s active research in
geology.
ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS:
To qualify for admission to the
program in geology, applicants must
satisfy University admission
requirements as described in the
Admissions section of the Catalog.
(This information is also included in
the Viewbook.)
Secondary school academic subjects
should include:
Three units of
English, two units of algebra, one
unit of geometry, and one unit of
chemistry and physics. One-half
unit of trigonometry is highly
recommended.

SCIENCE AND NATURAL RESOURCES • 244

�Completion of the program may
require more than four years for
students who do not meet all
entrance requirements.

For students with college-level
achievement, the opportunity will be
offered, by means of examination, to
obtain course credit or placement
into an advanced course.

Lake Superior State University accomplishes its mission by presenting a
personal approach to education through a small, collegial, and diverse
community in which all its constituencies share in the teaching, research,

ronment, students, staff, faculty, and administrators demonstrate high
regard for one another as valued members of the community, thus pro­
viding opportunities for emotional and social maturation as well as intel­
lectual growth.
Every educational program at Lake Superior State University acknowl­
edges its commitment to an integrated relationship between the profes­
sional/technical and liberal arts fields. The University's international
setting complements its efforts to present unique educational experi­
ences, expand students' perspectives, and foster their ability to critically
evaluate ideas and information.

GOALS OF THE UNIVERSITY

technical and professional education that demonstrate excellence and rel­
evance for the students served by the University

21st century.

Vision Statement

Mission Statement

The vision of Lake Superior State
University is to provide the highest
quality personal educational
experience for students in the State
of Michigan and beyond.

Lake Superior State University is a
co-educational, public institution
that recognizes as its primary
mission the offering of challenging
undergraduate programs and
services to students and other
constituencies from its region and
from the rest of Michigan, Northern Ontario and the near Midwest.

Our vision is to create and maintain a welcoming and personal
environment for students, employees, alumni, and visitors from
diverse backgrounds-to be a
catalyst for individual and professional growth within an international setting.
Our vision is to effectively serve
the needs of the region while
fulfilling the University's fundamental educational mission.

Lake Superior State University
accomplishes its mission by
presenting a personal approach to
education through a small, collegial and diverse community in
which all its constituencies share in
the teaching, research, and regional
service activities of the institution.
In this supportive environment,
students, staff, faculty and administrators demonstrate high regard
for one another as valued members
of the community, thus providing
opportunities for emotional and
social maturation as well as
intellectual growth.
Every educational program at Lake

integrated relationship between the
professional/ technical and liberal
arts fields. That relationship
fosters the development of students as contributing citizens,
viable professionals and fulfilled,
caring individuals. The
University's international setting
complements its efforts to present
unique educational experiences,
expand students' perspectives, and
foster their ability to critically
evaluate ideas and information.

Goals of the
University

programs in the liberal arts and in
technical and professional education that demonstrate excellence

and prepare them to live and work
in the 21st century.

Goal Number III

Established in 1946 to address the
needs of returning World War II
veterans and to provide educational opportunities to the people
of the Eastern Upper Peninsula,
Lake Superior State University still
embodies the essence of the early
days. A personal education in a
safe and friendly environment
remains a hallmark of today's
LSSU.
Our beautiful 115-acre campus
overlooks the Michigan and
Ontario twin cities of Sault Ste.
Marie, the St. Mary's River, and the
world famous Soo Locks. The
school is located at the beginning
of Interstate 75 which ends in the
Florida Keys.
The campus served as Ft. Brady
starting in 1894 after the fort was
relocated from the banks of the St.
Mary's. The fort was deactivated in
1944 and, thanks to the efforts of
local volunteers and leadership at
Michigan College of Mining &amp;
Technology in Houghton, opened
in the fall of that year as the Sault
Ste. Marie Residence Center of
MCMT.
The Sault Branch was rechristened
Lake Superior State College of
Michigan Technical University in
1966. Autonomy arrived for LSSC

in 1970. University status was
granted in 1987 to the state's
smallest public institution of
higher learning.Enrollment has
grown from the original class of
272 to more than 3,400 students.
There are 14 buildings on the
National Historic Register contributing to the University's sense of
tradition. This unique architectural
blend is a reminder of the "weapons to plowshares" history of the
setting.
Community: Sault Ste. Marie (pop.
18,000) is one of the oldest cities in
North America, having begun as a
fur trading center in the early 17th
century. A Jesuit mission was
established here in 1641, and
Father Marquette founded the first
permanent settlement 27 years
later, within the boundaries of
what was to become Michigan. The
Sault celebrated its 300th birthday
in 1968.

Our sister city, Sault Ste. Marie,
Ontario, is a cultural, recreational,
social and entertainment center.
The combined population of the
Twin Saults (101,000) allows for an
international flavor abounding
with the opportunities of a city,
and the safety and comfort of a
small town.

�Expectations
for Student Learning
Lake Superior State University
utilizes a Student Academic
Achievement Plan developed by
the faculty to meet the Assessment
Initiative of the commission on
Institutions of Higher Education,
North Central Association of
Colleges and Schools. The intent of
this plan is to document student
learning at Lake Superior State
University both in the major
program and across the general
education requirements. This
continuous evaluation process
works to assure high quality
teaching and effective student
learning: The faculty at Lake
Superior State University have
collectively agreed upon the
characteristics of the educated
person the institution hopes to
graduate and have identified
outcomes that can be used to
document these attributes. The
following are areas that the faculty
have deemed essential to a liberal
education and have value for the
students in their lives as responsible citizens: communication
skills, mathematics, computer

literacy, critical thinking, ethics,
aesthetics, cultural diversity, and
science and technology. Students
who complete the general education courses at Lake Superior State
University will be able to demonstrate attributes of the general
education outcomes.
Students attending Lake Superior
State University can expect commitment by the University to
document and enhance student
learning. Through the assessment
process, the University demonstrates its commitment to improving student learning and ensures
that when students graduate they
have attained specific attributes
and abilities.
Lake Superior State University
expects a commitment on the part
of its students to actively participate in the learning process.

�Academic Policies

Student
Classifications
0 to 25 credits = freshman
26 to 55 credits = sophomore
56 to 87 credits = junior
88+ =senior

Please familiarize yourself with the
academic policies described in this
catalog. They will help you obtain
your educational objectives.
Faculty advisors, staff and administration will also help you negotiate your way through these policies - seek their advice whenever
you have questions!

The Academic Year
Lake Superior State University
operates on a semester system.
There are two regular 15-week
semesters (fall and spring) which
begin in August or September and
end in April or May. The summer
semester consists of classes offered
in 4-, 8-, and 12- week sessions.
Starting and ending dates are listed
on page 316-317 of this catalog.

Academic Credit
One credit is earned after completing 15 hours of classroom instruction in lecture/ recitation courses.
For example, a three-credit course
might be scheduled 9-9:50 a.m.
Monday, Wednesday and Friday
for 15 weeks plus one week for
exams. Laboratory classes, field
work or other non-lecture classes
meet for more than one hour a
week per credit.
You should expect to spend two
hours of study or class preparation
for each hour spent in class.
Sixteen credits are the average load
of full-time students. A minimum
of 124 credits is required for all
baccalaureate degrees; a minimum
of 62 hours is required for an
associate' s degree.

Student Curriculum
Choice and Advising
When you apply for admission,
you are asked to declare a major.
The major you declare will deter-

mine which major department you
are in and the academic advisor
assigned to you. Please get to
know your advisor well and meet
with him/her often to get help in
class selection, degree progress and
career advice. You may change
your major curriculum by processing a Curriculum Change Card
through the Center for Student
Services (CSS). The CSS, Counseling Center and departmental
offices have the card and instructions. Curriculum change cards
must be filed with CSS for each
curriculum change.
If you are unsure of your major,
you will be assigned to the Liberal
Arts major and the advisor assigned to you will be a Liberal Arts
faculty member. The Learning
Center and the Counseling Center
can also provide you with major
advice and counseling.
If you are provisionally admitted
to Lake Superior State University,
an academic advisor from the
Learning Center is assigned. You
will keep this advisor until your
admission status changes and you
are admitted to your full-time
major program.

Semester Course
Selection
Before the end of each semester,
you must sign up for courses for
the next semester. One to two
weeks before scheduling, schedule
booklets listing the courses, times,
dates and locations will be available in departmental offices, the
Center for Student Services and
other locations around campus.
You need to pick up a schedule
booklet, read the instructions for
scheduling and meet with your
advisor to select courses for the
next semester.
Please read the schedule booklet
carefully as it has dates for scheduling according to class level, dates

�for tuition payments, and information regarding prerequisites,
corequisites and other course
requirements.
Test Scores: When you apply for
admission, you will send your ACT
score to Lake Superior State
University. Your score determines
the level of English, math and
reading classes into which you will
be placed. If you have been out of
high school more than 26 months
and have not taken the ACT, you
can take placement tests at the
Testing/ Counseling Center at Lake
State to determine your placement
in English, math and reading.
Maximum credit load: You may
carry up to 20 credits per semester.
You may take more credits if you
have a 3.00 GPA or higher and
have written approval from the
dean of your school. Students on
academic probation should not
take more than 15 credits.
Prerequisites: Many courses
require that you complete English,
math, reading or other preliminary
classes before signing up to take
these courses. If you have not met
the prerequisite, you may be
dropped from the class during the
regular drop period with an N
grade or not allowed to sign up for
the class. Some courses require
that you earn a C or better in
prerequisite courses before scheduling for the next course. Exceptions may be made only by the
dean of your college or the instructor of the subsequent class.
Repeats: You may repeat a class to
bring up a grade and raise your
grade point average (GPA). However, you may not repeat a prerequisite course if you have successfully passed the subsequent course.
Again, exceptions may be made by
the dean of your college. Note:
You will not receive extra credits
for the repeated class but your GPA
will be affected. Only the grade of
the last attempt is calculated in
your GPA.
Drop/add period: You may change
your class schedule during the first

six (6) days of each semester.
Courses you drop during the
drop/ add period will not appear
on your permanent record. If a
course you wish to add is full, you
must get an instructor's signature
to schedule the course.
Your add or withdrawal from a
course is not officially complete
until the appropriate form is
completed in the Center for Student Services. It's a good idea to
retain the official receipt upon
completion of any add or drop.
Late adds: If you wish to add a
class after the six-day drop/ add
period, you must first get a Late
Add Form from the Center for
Student Services (CSS) and then
get the instructor's signature.
Return your Late Add Form to
CSS.
Non-attendance of the first class:
Your instructor may drop you from
a course if you do not attend or if
you do not call the instructor
before classes begin. The course
instructor will fill out a drop form
and notify you if you are dropped
from the course.
Dropping after the add/delete
period: You may drop a course
during the first 40 days of a full
semester (the last day to drop a
class is shown in the schedule book
and in the calendar of this book).
Your record will show an "N"
grade and your GPA will not be
affected.
To drop a class after the eight-week
drop requires extenuating circumstances, and you must get approval
from both your instructor and the
Center for Student Services. AW
grade will appear on your permanent record and will not affect your
GPA.
Class attendance: Regular class
attendance and active participation
in classes are important elements in
the learning process. You are at the
University primarily for the sake of
intellectual growth and development. Attendance and participation provide appropriate opportu-

progress.

You are personally responsible for
the satisfactory completion of the
course work prescribed by your
instructors. This means that you
are expected to attend classes
regularly, and that you are responsible for the work assigned in class,
the material covered in class and
for participation in class activities
(including discussion and listening) designed by the instructor as
part of the learning experience.
However, mere physical attendance should not be a criterion for
evaluation of your performance.
Participation in an official University function is an excused absence
when approved by the provost.
You will not be penalized for such
participation. You are responsible
for work missed and must confer
with your instructor on this matter.
Complete withdrawal: If you are a
full-time student and drop all of
your classes during the first eight
weeks of the semester, you may be
eligible for tuition refund. To
receive any refund, fill out a
Withdrawal Form at the Center for
Student Services. This office will
authorize your refund from the
Business Office. (Please check the
schedule book for the refund
policy.)

Before leaving, be sure you have
cleared any holds on your records
so you can return at a later date or
have transcripts of your academic
records sent out.

Grading System
Grade Point Average (GPA): To
calculate your GPA for a semester,
divide the total points earned by
the total credits carried. Credits
carried include those earned or
failed but not those classes taken
for credit/no credit. Cumulative
GPA is calculated by dividing total
points earned by the number of
credits carried in all semesters. If
you repeat a course, count only the
credits carried and the points of the

last grade earned. Just the grade of
your last attempt is calculated in
your GPA.
A cumulative GPA of 2.00 for all
credits is required for graduation.
Further, a 2.00 cumulative grade
point average for all credits in
major and minor(s) is required.
Some programs require a higher
GPA in the major curriculum.
Incomplete grades (I): To receive
an I grade in a course which you
can not complete, you must meet
with your instructor and work out
what you need to complete to
obtain a grade. You must make up
the work by the date specified by
the instructor which must be
within a maximum of two semesters in attendance or the incomplete grade becomes a failure.
Summer semesters count if you are
enrolled for classes during the
summer. Your instructor will
submit an I Form with the grade
sheets and you will receive a copy.

...J

....J

N and W grades: These grades are
given to those classes that you
have officially dropped N or
withdrawn W.

Z grade: Deferred grades are given
when the course work of a particular course extends beyond a single
semester.
Grade reports: Grades and credit
reports are mailed to your permanent home address after each
semester.
Grade change: You may request
your instructor to review and
change a grade within two semesters after completion. The instructor fills in and sends a Grade
Change Form to the Center for
Student Services.
Dean's List: By completing 12 or
more credits a semester with a
grade point average of 3.50 or
higher, you will earn Dean's List
honors which acknowledge
outstanding academic achievement.
Academic probation: This is a
warning that scholastic perfor-

�mance is below the University's
minimum requirements. During
this probationary period, you will
be allowed to carry only up to 15
credits each semester (band and
recreational activities are not
included in the 15 credits).
1.

Academic probation is in effect
if your cumulative grade point
average is in the "on probation" category.

2.

If your cumulative GPA falls
into the dismissal range, you
will be dismissed.

3.

After a first or second dismissal, you have the following
options:

committee can either
permit early readmittance
with specific conditions
required or deny the
request. Further appeal
can be made to the provost,
whose decision is final.

5.

Students who continue after a
dismissal will be dismissed
again after any semester in
which their cumulative grade
point average falls in the
dismissal category. The
assistant to the provost for
academic records may allow
the student to continue "on
probation" with the record
showing "on probation"
instead of "dismissal", if the
student's record has shown
improvement during the
semester and the student has a
2.00 GPA in courses carried for
that semester.
A student dismissed for the
third time can not be reinstated

The Scholastic Standards
Committee may, on the recommendation of a college dean;
provost or vice president for
Student Programs and Services, dismiss students from
the University if their academic
progress, conduct or attitude
toward their work is deemed
unsatisfactory.

Credit/No Credit
Courses
You may enroll in some courses on
a credit/ no credit basis if you are
in good academic standing. The
following conditions exist:
1.

One course per semester may
be taken as credit/no credit.

2.

Only 12 credits of courses
taken as credit/ no credit may
be applied toward a degree.

Lake Superior State University• 1-888-800-LSSU, ext. 2211 • 13

�3.

Courses that are required by
your major, minor, or that are
general education courses, can
not be taken for credit/ no
credit.

4.

You apply at the Center for
Student Services to enroll for a
credit/no credit course during
the drop/ add period; cannot
change to regular grades after
the drop/ add period ends.

5.

You maintain a 2.00 C average
in a course to receive a CR
grade.

6.

Instructors are not notified that
you are taking a course as
credit/no credit; the CR or
NCR credit is assigned based
on the grade your instructor
submits.

Certain courses are always offered
with a credit/ no credit format.
These courses have this information in the official course description and course syllabi. The policy
and limitations outlined above do
not apply to these courses.

Cheating and
Plagiarism:
The assumption of the academic
contract is that the student does his
or her own work: any breach of
the contract is considered cheating.
The faculty member who detects a
student cheating may take appropriate action, such as assigning a
failing grade for the entire course.
A student who cheats is subject to
dismissal from the University. If,
in the opinion of the faculty
member involved, such action is
warranted, he or she will notify the
chairman of the Scholastic Standards Committee and the student
in writing. The Scholastic Standards Committee will then conduct
a hearing in such a manner that the
student is given due process. If the
committee decides that dismissal is
warranted, the student shall have
five school days to appeal that
decision to the provost of the
University.

There are three examination
processes you can take to earn
credit for individual courses or

The Privacy Act
Section 438 of the General Education Provisions Act, as amended,
sets forth the requirements to be
met by an educational institution
to protect the privacy of students.
This act is called the Family
Educational Rights and Privacy Act
and shall be referred to hereafter as
the Act. The Act generally governs
access to student educational
records and the release of such
records. The Act also requires that
institutions of higher education
must provide students access to
official records directly related to
the student and an opportunity for
a hearing to challenge such records
on the grounds that they are
inaccurate, misleading or inappropriate. Educational institutions
must also obtain written consent
before releasing personally identifiable data about students from
records to other than a specified
list of exceptions. In addition,
students must be notified of these
rights.

In accordance with provisions of
the Act and the regulations enacted

by the Department of Health,
Education and Welfare, Lake

Act and the policies and
procedures set forth in the
following sections.

the University must annually
notify students of their rights and
the institution policies pertaining
to the Act. In addition, notice must
be given to the location where the
policy can be obtained as well as to
inform the students of the right to
file complaints with the Department of Health, Education and
Welfare concerning alleged failures
by the University to comply with
the Act. In accordance with these
requirements the annual notice
regarding students' rights, the
location of copies of the
University's policies setting forth
these rights, as well as the right to
file complaints with the Family
Educational Rights and Privacy Act
Office, shall be published in the
University'Catalog. The annual
letter to students will notify

�Equal Opportunity
Notice of Lake Superior State
University's policy of compliance with
federal and state law

Policy
The University is an equal opportunity employer and educator and
rohibits discrimination, including
arassment, on the basis of race,
color, national origin or ancestry,
gender, age, disability, religion,
height, weight, sexual preference,
marital status, or veteran status.
In carrying out this policy, the
University complies with all
federal and state laws and regulations prohibiting discrimination
including:
Executive Order 11246, the ElliottLarsen Civil Rights Act of 1976,
Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of
1964, The Equal Pay Act of 1963,
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of
1964, as amended by the Equal
Employment Opportunity Act of
1972, and the Pregnancy Discrimination Act of 1978, Title IX of the
Education Amendments of 1972,
Titles VII and VIII of the Public
Health Service Act, Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967,
Sections 503 and 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, Veteran's
Assistance Act of 1972, and Title II
of the Americans with Disabilities
Act of 1990.

Sexual Harassment
The University is committed to a
policy of nondiscrimination on the
basis of gender. Discrimination
because of gender includes sexual
harassment, which means unwelcome sexual advances, requests for
sexual favors, and other verbal or
physical conduct or communication of a sexual nature when:
i.

Submission to such conduct or
communication is made a term
or condition either explicitly or
implicitly to obtain employment, public accommodations
or public services, education, or
housing;

ii. Submission to or rejection of
such conduct or communication by an individual is used as
a factor in decisions affecting
such individual's employment,
public accommodations or
public services, education, or
housing; or

Process
l.

iii. Such conduct or communication has the purpose or effect
of substantially interfering
with an individual's employment, public accommodations
or public services, education,
or housing environment.

The University is committed to the
protection of the rights of all
individuals and to the elimination
of barriers that would prevent
individuals from realizing their
highest potential of human excellence. Sexual harassment is a
particularly noxious form of
discrimination that interferes with
these goals and commitments, and
is difficult to combat due to the
intimidation and destruction of self
esteem of its victims.

individuals may discuss
concerns they may have
regarding possible discrimination or harassment to learn
what options are available.

3.

Nonretaliation: The University

also strictly prohibits any
retaliation against any individual, who, in good faith, has
registered a complaint under
this procedure. Any supervisor, agent, or employee of the
University who, after investigation, has been determined to
have retaliated against any
individual for using the
complaint procedure in this
policy, will be subject to
appropriate discipline up to
and including immediate
discharge. If an individual
believes he or she has been
retaliated against for exercising
his or her rights under this
policy, the individual should
use this complaint procedure.

Grievance Officer
The Equal Employment Opportunity Officer/ Affirmative Action
Officer (EEO Officer) is the designated grievance officer for discrimination complaints. If any
person believes that he or she has
been subjected to discrimination,
including harassment by unlawful
and unacceptable expressions, acts,
attitudes and/ or behaviors based
on race, color, national origin or
ancestry, gender, age, disability,
religion, height, weight, sexual
preference, marital status, or
veteran status, he or she should

grade point average. Lake State
uses an overall grade point average
(GPA). The average overall GPA
for the 1997 freshman class was
2.88 on a scale of a 4.0. The average ACT composite score was a 20.
Students whose ACT or GPA levels
approach but do not meet LSSU
standards may be admitted via the
University Studies program.
University Studies is an arm of the

provides academic support for the
entire campus. The UC operates
the Learning Center (described
below) as well as several other
tutoring and support programs.
Students enrolled in associate' s
degrees have access to the Office of
Student Accommodation and
Support Services, which provides
tutoring, advising and supplemental instruction.

Occupational education is the goal
for many students. They seek
workplace-relevant programs
designed to open the door to goodpaying technical positions. Such
programs also promote the economic growth of the entire community. The UC oversees the development and operation of academic
programs at the one- or two-year
level.

Learning Center
The Learning Center, located in the
KJS Library, offers academic
support services to all enrolled
students at LSSU, at all levels of
learning (freshman through
graduate). Tutoring and supplemental instruction (a.k.a. study
sessions) are available for may
preparatory, 100- and 200-level
courses across the disciplines. The
Learning Center's Writing Lab
tutors assist you with your writing
needs while the math lab tutors
help you overcome your math
frustrations. Seminars on topics
such as time management and
study skills are held each semester
to allow you to maximize your
academic performance. When you
visit the Learning Center, you will
find more than 30 state-of-the-art
computers equipped with tutorial
and instructional software for
many LSSU courses, as well as

various word processing programs,

happy to assist you in reaching
your academic goals.

Office of Student
Support Services and
Accommodations
(OSASS)
OSASS provides two functions for
its students. If you are enrolled in
an associate's or certificate-level
program, you can contact this
office for assistance with coursework or help in selecting a career
path. The office provides these
supportive services through the
Carl Perkins Vocational Education
grant.
In addition, students who can
verify that they face a disabling
condition can receive a wide range
of services from OSASS. The staff
arrange for specialized testing,
note takers, scribes, taped texts and
a variety of other auxiliary aides
for students with disabilities.
Students should note that official
verification of a disabling condition must be on file before auxiliary aides and accommodations
can be provided. If you do have a
disabling condition, or if you think
you may have a condition such as a
learning disability, please contact
OSASS as soon as possible.

Former Students
Former full-time Lake State students who stop taking classes for
two semesters or more or attend
another college or university (not
including summer) must apply for
readmission before the semester of
re-entry. There is no application
fee. If you attended another
college since leaving Lake State,
you must submit official transcripts and meet Lake State's
transfer student admissions policy.

Admissions Office.
If you are a Canadian applicant
from a province other than Ontario, your application is evaluated
based on the education system in
your province.
If you completed grade 13 or OAC
courses before September 1990,
you will receive transfer credit at
the University for each course in
which your final mark was at least
a 60 percent. Transfer credit is not
given for any OAC courses taken
after September 1990. However,
completion of OAC courses
prepares some students to earn
credit through testing. (See section
titled "Credit by Examination").

Foreign Students
(Non-Canadian)
Applicants must satisfy entrance
requirements comparable to those
of United States students. All
credentials written in a language
other than English must be accompanied by certified English translations.
A notarized financial statement is
required before a Certificate of
Eligibility (Form I-20) will be
issued. This statement must
include the amount of money
available per year and the
source(s). Inclusion of false
information in the financial statement is grounds for dismissal.
Beyond the financial statement, the
student's sponsor or sponsoring
agency must provide a letter
assuming responsibility for all of
the student's educational and
living expenses while studying in
the United States. Foreign student
scholarships are not available, and
employment opportunities for
foreign students are restricted by
government regulations.
Applicants should not consider
themselves admitted to the University until they have provided all
documents required by the University and have received an official
letter granting admission. Following the letter granting admission,
the Form I-20 is sent, as required
by the U.S. Immigration and
Naturalization Service.
Foreign students are required to
purchase a health and accident
insurance policy for each year in
residence.

Part-time Enrollment
You may enroll as a part-time
student and take up to 11 credits
per semester in courses for which
you have sufficient academic
background. A part-time student
not seeking financial aid or a
degree or certificate does not have
to formally apply for admission.
As a non-admitted part-time
student, you are not assigned a
faculty advisor. You are encouraged to seek assistance in selecting
courses from the appropriate
academic schools.
Current high school students
should refer to the section regarding dual enrollment.

Tech Prep
The national tech prep movement
is supported at Lake State. As a
testimony of its institutional
support, grades earned in applied
high school science and mathematics courses contribute to the high
school GPA computed for university admission. Tech prep, with its
emphasis upon curricular integration between secondary and postsecondary educational institutions,
helps Lake State create a broader
array of educational options for
our students.
Lake Superior State University has
articulation agreements with area
high schools to enhance applied
and career educational opportunities at the post-secondary level. In
tandem with its regional secondary
education partners, Lake State has
created pathways to applied
education for specified curricula in
business and technology. University course credits count toward
degree requirements for high
school work if certain competendes are met. Check with your high
school guidance counselor or a
Lake State admissions officer to
verify whether a specific course
may apply.

successfully meet reading requirements by their sophomore level (26
credits) will be limited to a 13credit load (including reading
courses) until they successfully
comple their reading courses.
Transfer students without appropriate course work in English and
mathematics (see degree requirements) are also required to take
placement tests. Transfer students
may meet placement requirements
by their ACT scores if they submit
ACT scores to Lake State.

after the beginning of regular
instruction. Enrollment after the
six-day period has passed is

fee. The fee is refunded only under
certain conditions.
Credit by exam: Credit by departmental examination is available to

better is scored, the credit is
recorded on your transcript. The
fee charged is equivalent to CLEP

must complete a Withdrawal Form
to initiate a refund. The form is
available from the Student Service
Center. Authorized refunds apply
only to tuition and special course
fees. If you are on approved

through other agencies that mandate recovery of financial assistance, refunds are in accordance
with their requirements. You

the semester will receive a 25
percent refund. No refunds are

Leaving school: For information
about leaving the University see
Withdrawal. Non-attendance of
classes or checking out of campus
housing does not constitute
withdrawal, nor does academic

for full tuition and fees and will
receive failing grades on their
transcript unless a Withdrawal Slip
is filed with the Student Service
Center.
Transcript fee: One official transcript is provided to all students,
either before or after graduation.
There is a $5 fee for each additional
transcript.

�Financial Aid

Notification of scholarship
awards begins November 1 for
students admitting for the
following fall semester.

Rewarding the scholar and meeting the needs of those who apply
for financial assistance is a high
priority at Lake Superior State
University. The doors of opportunity are seldom closed because of a
financial condition.

15 percent of their graduating
class, have a 3.40 (or higher) grade
point average and ACT score of 26.
The recipient of any award must be
a full-time student carrying 12
academic hours or more (except
regional center recipients).

You may qualify for a combination
of University, state and federal
programs-a financial aid package- which may include a combination of scholarship, loan, grant,
and/ or work assistance. Full-time
undergraduates take priority in aid
awards.

Scholarship recipients are usually
selected based on competitive
examinations,scholasticrecords
and/ or financial need. The American College Test serves as the
University's primary test for
scholarship applicants. Test results
must be on file by April 1.

Carefully consider the full cost of
your education, parental support,
and savings - including summer
employment - to determine your
need for financial aid. If you
possess excellent high school or
community college grades, you are
encouraged to apply for scholarships regardless of need. Those
with need are considered for loans,
grants and/ or employment based
on need established from the Free
Application for Federal Student
Aid (FAFSA).
You can obtain information on all
financial aid programs from the
Financial Aid staff. Staff are
available to advise you and your
parents about the costs of attending the University, availability of
financial aid and application
procedures.
Applying: You can apply by
completing the financial aid
section of the Admissions Application; obtain forms from your high
school principal or counselor or
write to the Financial Aid Office,
Lake Superior State University, 650
W. Easterday Ave., Sault Ste.
Marie, MI 49783.
If you are already enrolled, forms
are available from the Financial
Aid Office.

Scholarship requirements: Incoming freshmen must be in the upper

You must have your parents or
guardian complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid
(FAFSA) to apply for assistance.
These forms may be obtained from
local high school counselors or
principals or the LSSU Financial
Aid Office. The form must be
received by the processor before
February 21 (incoming freshmen)
or March 21 to assure priority aid
consideration.

Satisfactory
Academic Progress
Requirements for the
Retention of
Financial Aid
If you are receiving any form of
financial aid, you must meet these
satisfactory academic progress requirements to retain your aid each semester.
Financial aid regulations require
that a student must make satisfactory progress to remain eligible for
financial aid. Financial aid programs affected by this policy are
Federal Pell Grant, Federal Perkins
Loan, Federal College Work-Study,
Federal Supplemental Educational
Opportunity Grant, Federal Direct
Loans, Federal PLUS Loans, State
of Michigan and Institutional
Scholarship, Grant, Loan and Work
Programs.

�Transfer Students
The requirements for transfer
students are based on the number
of full-time equivalent credits
transferred to LSSU. For example,
a student with 68 transfer credits
must earn a G.P.A. of 1.93 or higher.

The following policy is the minimum requirement for all types of
financial aid; however, there are some types of aid with more stringent
requirements (example: scholarships):
Every student must maintain, at the end of each semester, a cumulative grade point average (GPA) of at least:

Application of Policy
First-year freshmen and new
transfer students not meeting the
GPA requirement after their first
semester at LSSU, will be placed on
financial aid probation for one
semester. The cumulative GPA
after the probationary semester
must satisfy the minimum GPA or
the student will have his /her
financial aid suspended. Students
that have been enrolled for more
than one semester will not have a
probationary semester and must
meet the schedule above each
semester.

Quantative Standards
Students are expected to complete
a two-year degree in six semesters,
a four-year degree in 12 semesters
and a master's degree in four
semesters of full-time study.
Eligibility is terminated after six
semesters (assoc.), 12 semesters
(four-year degree), and four
semesters (master's), or after
attempting 150 percent of the
credits required for the degree.
Each student's progress in credits
earned will be reviewed every
semester. The following credits
must be earned in relation to the
number of credits enrolled at the
end of the add period:

If a student does not satisfactorily
meet the quantative standard, he/
she will be placed on financial aid
probation for the next semester. If
a student fails to meet the standard
for the second consecutive semester enrolled, his/her financial aid
will be suspended.

Once financial aid is suspended,
both the GPA and credit hour
completion criteria must be met in
subsequent semesters before
reinstatement of aid is possible.
If completion of I grades or other
record changes warrant a reinstatement, the student must present a
written notice from the Registrar/
Scheduling Office to the Financial
Aid Office by the end of the
semester following cancellation of
aid.

Room and Board
A variety of housing facilities are
available. If you are enrolled at
LSSU for 12 credit hours or more,
there are mandatory policies that
apply.

52 • Lake Superior State University• 1-888-800-LSSU, ext. 2273

-

�If you are unmarried and/ or a
nonveteran enrolled in 12 hours or
more and are within 27 calendar
months of your high school graduation, you must reside in a University residence hall.

High school graduation dates are
assumed to be June 1 for this
purpose. The exceptions are:
1.

2.

3.

If you live with your parents
within a 60-mile radius or the
three-county (Chippewa, Luce
and Mackinac) service area of
the University. An exception
application is available in the
Housing Office and must be
approved by the Housing
director.
If you are exempted in writing
by the Housing director when
residence hall space is filled.
If you have unusual financial
or health problems. Permission must be granted by the
vice president for Student
Programs and Services.

The University reserves the right to
assign all students within the
residence halls. Housing preferences are considered according to
the dates of receipt of application.
Freshmen are usually accorded
priority in residence hall assignments and upperclassmen hold
priority in apartment assignments.

;

The University recognizes that
exceptions to these policies may
arise. Requests for permission to
live off-campus will be considered
by the vice president for student
programs and services, who shall
apply the following criteria to a
request to live off campus for
financial reasons:
"Financial hardship" is a situation
in which the total resources of the
student and family added to the
total financial aid available from
the University does not equal the
dollar amount budgeted by the
Financial Aid Office as the minimum required for on-campus
residency. In such a situation, there
are two alternatives: a) withdrawal
from the dormitory orb) with-

drawal from the University. An
example is a student whose
financial situation changed suddenly during the year (perhaps due
to the death of a parent) and who
applies for assistance after the aid
program is depleted.
A number of student campus
apartments in the Student Village
and Townhouses are available.
Married students or groups of
single students desiring these
accommodations should contact
the Housing director.
The University reserves the right to
transfer students to the Townhouses or the Student Village
during the year. Such transfers are
normally made between semesters.

the children. A significant portion
of each day is devoted to exploratory play. During exploratory
play, children may move throughout the various learning areas of
the center, electing to participate in
any one of a wide variety of
activities and interact with learning
materials. The Child Development
Center is located on the southeast
end of campus.

Student-Faculty
Relations Committee
(Appeals)
Function. The Student-Faculty
Relations Committee provides a
forum for resolving conflicts
between students and faculty
members which may arise with
classroom or course-related activities, policies or procedures. The

committee will not consider cases
involving ADA compliance or any
other matter it deems inappropriate. This committee is strictly an
informal mediation body which
will forward recommendations for
resolution to the parties involved
(with a copy to the executive vice
president and provost).
Membership. The University
president appoints the committee
membership to two-year terms.
There are four faculty representatives (at least one from each
college) and four student representatives. The chair is chosen by the
committee membership.
Procedures

1.

If a student (or group of
students) wishes to raise an
issue related to a course which
he/ she is taking or has taken
(normally within one semester), the student should attempt to resolve the issue at
the student/ faculty, department head or appropriate
college dean level. If the
matter cannot be resolved at
the lowest possible levels, the
student may appeal to the
Student-Faculty Relations
committee informing them of
the problem. In exceptional
cases, the student may approach the Student-Faculty
Relations Committee directly.

2.

To bring an issue before the
Student-Faculty Relations
committee, the student must
notify the Student-Faculty
Relations Committee in
writing. This document must
clearly explain the situation
and include the student's
name, current address, a
message telephone number
and times when the student is
available to meet with the
committee. Supporting
documentation may be included as well. The written
appeal should be submitted
directly to the committee chair.
The Executive Vice President
and Provost's Office will know

Lake Superior State University• 1-888-800-LSSU, ext. 2273 • 55

�the name of the committee
chair.
3.

Once the committee members
have had an opportunity to
review the student's concern,
they will conduct an informal
fact-finding process. As a part
of the process, the student will
be invited to meet with the
committee for further clarification. This meeting will be 20
minutes in length with 10
minutes of question and
answer by the committee. The
other party will also be invited
to meet with the committee
following the same format.
Both parties will then be asked
to meet together with the
committee in an effort to foster
communication, clarification

and resolution. The most
desirable arrangement would
be for this step to occur at one
setting. The committee will
strive to be as expeditious as
possible. There may be extenuating circumstances such as
semester break or summer
recess.

4. If there is no resolution after
this joint meeting of the parties
involved, or if the outcome of
this process is not acceptable to
the student or the faculty
member, he/ she may appeal to
the executive vice president
and provost of the University.

...J

5. The committee will keep no
permanent records.

exceptions are infrequently made.
A petition for exceptions to general
education requirements is initiated
with the assistant to the provost for
academic records.
Course substitutions and waivers
of departmental degree program
requirements may be granted only
by the dean of the college offering
the program (major or minor).
Normally, you will graduate under
the program degree requirements
in effect and published in the
Catalog at the time you are admitted into the given degree program,
provided enrollment at the University is continuous. If enrollment is
interrupted, or if you select a new
major, you must satisfy program
requirements in effect at the time
you reenter or officially change to
the new major. If program requirements are revised during your
enrollment, you will be allowed to
graduate under the new requirements providing you can meet
such requirements in their entirety.
The University reserves the right to
change the requirements for
graduation at any time as a means
of keeping pace with educational
developments affecting the various
curricula. As such changes are
made, they may, at the discretion of
the University, be applied to
students already enrolled. In such
cases, reasonable and prudent
effort will be made to provide the
benefit of the new educational
program without imposing undue
hardship.

�Graduation Procedures
Degree candidacy procedure: Two
semesters before students plan to
complete degree requirements and
graduate, they must submit an
appropriate departmental degree
audit for each major and minor,
and a Declaration of Candidacy for
Degree to the assistant to the
provost in the Academic Records
Office. The necessary forms are
available at the student's major
departmental office.

The departmental Degree Audit for
a student's major or minor specifies all required courses that have
been or must be completed. The
audit must be signed by the school
chair and/ or dean of the college
offering the major or minor program. Course substitutions and
waivers of departmental degree
program requirements may be
granted only by the dean of the
college offering the major or minor
program. Exceptions to specific
general education requirements
may be granted only by the Scholastic Standards Committee. Such
exceptions are infrequently made.
A petition for exceptions to general
education requirements is initiated
with the assistant to the provost.
The assistant to the provost checks
students' Degree Audits, after
which a preliminary verification of
the Degree Audit is sent to each
student and respective school chair.
Students are responsible for
examining this verification and
requesting clarification of anything
that is not consistent with their
records or understanding.
From the Declaration of Candidacy
for Degree forms submitted by
students, a potential graduate list
is created for each semester.
Names for the commencement
program and diploma will be the
official, legal name as listed in the
records of the University. The
names of students who are listed in
the annual commencement program are also compiled from

Declaration of Candidacy for
Degree forms. Students may not
be listed in the commencement
program unless their Degree
Candidacy Form is filed with the
assistant to the provost six weeks
prior to commencement. Students
are expected to attend commencement exercises unless excused by
the assistant to the provost. Students completing degree requirements during the summer may
participate in commencement the
previous semester if their degree
candidacy form is received six
weeks prior to commencement.
After grades are received at the
end of each semester, Degree
Audits will be updated for all
students completing credit and
who have a Degree Candidacy
Form on file. When all requirements specified on the Degree
Audit are fulfilled, the college dean
and/ or school chair and assistant
to the provost give a final approval. Names of these graduates
are then sent to the president for
approval by the Board of Trustees.
Subsequently, a diploma is provided to each student.
Diploma charge: There is no
charge for the first diploma from
the University. A fee is charged for
replacement diplomas.

Students completing graduation
requirements in the fall semester or
summer, or who otherwise need
documentation of completion
before their diploma is available,
will receive a letter certifying that
they have completed degree
requirements. Additionally, official
University transcripts will be sent
to any employer, graduate university, or elsewhere, as requested by
the graduate. Official transcripts
will not be mailed to students.
Graduation with honors: Honors
graduates must earn at least 32
credits at Lake State. All credits
with grade points completed at

Lake Superior State University• 1-888-800-LSSU, ext. 2012 • 65

�other colleges (percentages are
converted to letter grades) will be
figured in computing grade point
averages for honors diplomas and
medallions at LSSU.
Students who earn 3.50 to 3.69 will
graduate cum laude; 3.70 to 3.89,
magna cum laude; 3.90 to 4.00,
summa cum laude. Honors earned
shall not be higher than those for
which a student qualifies on basis
of courses taken at LSSU.
Graduation diplomas with honors
will be awarded to baccalaureate
and associate' s and certificate
recipients. Honors medallions will
be awarded only to baccalaureate
and associate' s degree recipients
who graduate summa cum laude.

Honors Degree
The University honors program
offers highly motivated students
the opportunity to develop their
abilities and skills in exciting and
innovative ways. The central goal
of the University honors program
is to create a community of scholars characterized by strong student-faculty interaction around the
world of ideas. The honors program fosters an approach to
education that incorporates the
qualities of active participation,
intellectual curiosity and an
interdisciplinary focus.
Selection is based upon a number
of factors, including: ACT scores,
high school grade point average,
application essay, personal interview and Lake State faculty
nomination. Students invited to
participate in the program enroll in
courses designated for honors
credit. The courses are distributed
among the requirements for
general education, the student's
major, and the University honors
program and may include small
seminars or independent research
projects.
To graduate with an honors degree
in a program of study, the honors
student must have formal acceptance into the University honors
program and have successfully
completed 21 honors credit hours
with an overall grade point average of 3.5 or better at graduation.
The 21 honors credit hours are to
be distributed among the
University's requirements for
general education, the student's
major and the University honors
program.
Upon graduation from the honors
program, the student will receive
an honors degree in his /her
program of study. The honors
degree designation is indicated on
the student's diploma and is
distinct from graduating with
honors (see Graduation with
Honors).

�Legal Assistant Studies
See College of Arts, Letters
and Social Sciences, page 211.

Program Description:

Career Description:

The legal assistant profession is
one of the occupations projected to
grow the fastest through the year
2005 according to the U.S. Department of Labor. A legal assistant (or
paralegal) is a valued member of
the legal team and works under the
supervision of attorneys.

Litigation Legal Assistant conducts research; drafts legal
pleadings and documents; interviews clients and witnesses;
investigates, gathers and organizes
case information; assists at trial.

This program is designed to train
qualified legal assistants capable of
working in a variety of areas of the
law and in a variety of work
environments. Consequently, the
role and job duties of a legal .
assistant vary depending on the
areas of law and work environment in which a legal assistant is
employed. Such diversity, varied
challenges, and employment
possibilities are what makes the
legal assistant profession so
interesting and rewarding.
There are four different degrees or
offerings in legal assistant studies.
They are as follows: (1) a four-year
baccalaureate degree in legal
assistant studies with an emphasis
in legal administration, criminal
law, personal injury, labor law,
legislative/ constitutional law or a
selected minor as approved by the
legal assistant studies coordinator;
(2) a two-year associate's degree in
legal assistant studies; (3) a postbaccalaureate (one-year) certificate
in legal assistant studies (which is
available to students who already
have a bachelor's degree in some
other discipline and wish to make
a career change or advancement);
or (4) a minor in legal assistant
studies which can complement
various majors (and may also be

Three-Year Degree
fora BS in CJ
following the
NRTDegree
Bachelor of Science
See Department of
Biology
Students with a particular interest in state and
federal laws enacted to protect our natural
resources and federal restrictions on the use of
our renewable resources should consider
obtaining both an associate's degree in natural
resources technology (two years) and a bachelor
of science degree in criminal justice (three
additional years). The NRT degree will provide
the student with a good general background in
natural resources and the criminal justice degree
will allow the student to be fully qualified for
many different law enforcement opportunities.
Jobs for conservation law officers are limited,
but the above configuration of degrees prepares
a student to be highly competitive for openings
that do occur. Students selecting this course of
study should work closely with their advisor in
order to complete both degrees in the five-year
span . After completing the two-year NRT
associate's degree, students would complete the
following seQuence of courses. This plan
assumes MLEOTC certification and 91 additional
hours following the NRT degree.

Program Description:

Career Descriptions:

Environmental chemists seek to
understand and address environmental problems within the context
of chemical systems. While
environmental chemistry is truly
an interdisciplinary field, the
particular emphasis on examining
natural systems through chemistry
and chemical analysis focuses the
graduate more firmly within the
physical sciences. Key features of
this program include coursework
on environmental impact assessment, air and water chemistry. By
seeking solutions for such chemically based environmental problems as water pollution, hazardous
wastes, and acid rain, environmental chemists help ensure a safe,
healthful environment for all living
things.

Environmental Chemist - collects
and analyzes samples; develops
remediation programs, changing
production processes to reduce
environmental impact; advises on
safety and emergency response.

The secondary teaching major,
environmental chemistry/ secondary education, combines a major in
chemistry with an interdisciplinary
minor in the natural sciences to
prepare science teachers at the
junior and senior high school level.
Students combine a strong concern
and background in environmental
issues and solutions, with an
interest in a career as a secondary
teacher. Students complete requirements for a chemistry major with
the interdisciplinary group science
(DX endorsement) minor, leading
to teacher certification which
enables you to teach all science
subjects grades 7-12. Teacher
education programs at LSSU
include a full fifth year teaching
internship. Contact the Teacher
Education Department for additional information

Environmental Field Technician
- responsible for groundwater
sampling, soil sampling and other
field efforts.
Field Chemist - supervises field
technicians; packages chemicals for
transportation and disposal; loads
and unloads supply trucks. Customer relation skills are essential.
Physical Science Technician performs technical procedures
related to chemical analyses of
plant and animal tissues, soils,
sediments and waters for environmental contaminant, including
sample receipt, storage, homogenization, extraction, cleanup, digestion analysis, and reporting.
Physical or Biological Scientist
(Research) - assists policy development/ coordination with other
bureaus/ government agencies;
coordinates research activities and
development of solutions to
extremely complex, obscure and
critical problems.
Laboratory Chemist - has knowledge of EPA methods for volatile,
semi-volatile analysis and metals;
instrument proficiency, with
instrument troubleshooting a plus;
good organizational skills, attention to detail, and a will to succeed.
Science Teacher - responsible for
developing and implementing
science curriculum in grades 7-12;
daily classroom operations; develops professional relationships with
students, parents, district faculty
and staff.

For more information on
the components of the
Fine Arts Program,
please see
Dr. John Wilkinson
of the
College of Arts, Letters
and Social Sciences.

Program Description:

Career Description:

This Fine Arts Studies program is
an integrated, bi-national program
offered by a three-member consor~
tium situated in Sault Ste. Marie:
Algoma University, Lake Superior
State University, and Sault College
of Applied Arts and Technology.
The program is designed and
administered in such a way as to
serve the region as a whole, to
reflect the uniqueness of our
northern heritage, to be international in scope and to integrate
courses of study at both the college
and university levels.

This degree will prepare you for
further studies in professional
schools specializing in fine arts
training; for employment in the
rapidly expanding arts, entertainment and communication industries; or to apply your enhanced
talents as working artists.

The fine arts degree is for students
who have wide-ranging interests in
fine arts, and who wish to explore
and express their potential through
following a personalized course of
study. While students will invariably participate in a broad range of
courses, they must select two main
areas of focus (concentrations) from
the following six: advertising art
and graphic design, music, native
arts and culture, theater, visual arts
and writing.
Fine arts have been an important
aspect of the human experience
since first recorded history; from
African cave paintings to Greek
dramas, from Beethoven symphonies to the writings of Canadian
playwrights. From the study of fine
arts we can gain an understanding
of various cultures through their
own indigenous means of expression. Furthermore, we can deepen
our understanding of our own
culture by participation in various
contemporary art forms (drama,
music, painting, writing etc.). Most
important, by exploring our own
creative potential, we can develop
a better understanding of ourselves.

Fine Arts Professional -prepares
you for working as a managing
director of a department of music,
arts, theater or performance.
Teacher of Fine Arts - develops
courses, maintains studios and
supplies, teaches in elementary or
secondary education fields or
community theaters.
Arts Entrepreneur - performs as a
musician; is active in the performing arts and theater; and creates
and sells crafts and paintings.

Program Description:

Career Description:

Geology deals with the dynamic
Earth and its physical, chemical
and biologic history. It involves
the study of changes that are
taking and have taken place and
the forces that cause these changes.
For example, geologists interpret
the movements of the continents
over geologic time and the formation of mountains, volcanoes and
other features of the Earth's
surface. Geologists attempt to
understand our physical environment from which we derive most
of the natural resources essential to
civilization. They investigate the
processes that led to the formation
of mineral deposits, and oil, gas
and coal. They also study environmental change throughout the
history of the Earth and how that
change and the development of life
are related. Geologists attempt to
predict natural disasters such as
earthquakes, volcanic eruptions,
and landslides, and they are very
active in modeling groundwater
flow to develop water reserves for
municipalities and to protect
groundwater from contammation.
Geologists study the constraints
imposed by nature and apply their
knowledge to achieve harmony
between the human race and its
environment.

Energy Fuels Exploration Geologist - searches worldwide for
petroleum, gas, coal. Career
opportunities are with integrated
energy fuels exploration companies
and government agencies.
Mineral Exploration and Production Geologist - studies the
origin, occurrences and extraction
of metallic and non-metallic
mineral resources such as gold,
iron, uranium, diamonds, clay and
limestone. Career opportunities are
with many different kinds of
companies and government agencies.
Paleontologist - studies the
origin and evolution of life through
time and its applications to interpreting the geologic record. Career
opportunities are with energy
companies, museums, universities,
government agencies.
Geophysicist - uses non-destructive methods to determme the
electrical, magnetic, gravimetric
and seismic properties of earth
with applications to exploration
and environmental concerns.
Career opportunities are with
integrated energy, mineral and
environmental companies, consulting firms and government agencies.
Environmental Geologist/
Hydrogeologist - studies surface
and groundwater supplies and
contamination; flooding and land
slide potential; and environmental
quality issues such as chemical
contammation of soils and solid
waste disposal. Career opportunities are with companies in many
industries, government agencies,
and consulting firms.
Teacher - teaches geology and
earth science in elementary and
secondary schools and many
specialized fields of geology at the
college level.

Program Description:

Career Description:

Manufacturing engineering
technology (MfgET) is a multidisciplinary field that integrates
knowledge from areas of study
such as science, math, computers,
mechanical engineering, electronics
engineering, management and
economics. MfgET is a profession
that gives you the expertise to
develop tools, processes, machines
and equipment to make quality
products at a reasonable cost. The
profession also involves working
with and coordination of people
from several other fields.

Whether it be a single gear or a
complete automobile engine, the
complete set of events that results
in a finished product is planned
and implemented by a manufacturing engineer. Once you graduate
from LSSU, you will have many
manufacturing career choices
ranging from applied technical
research to management of systems
and personnel. Typical graduates
have obtained engineering and
technology positions in design of
automated manufacturing systems,
computer-aided design and
manufacturing, qualify control,
robotics applications, automotive
component manufacturing, design
of manufacturing processes and
equipment, maintenance, sales and
management of manufacturing
systems. Some graduates have also
transferred to graduate schools to
pursue master's and doctoral
degrees.

The B.S. degree program in MfgET
at LSSU is accredited nationally by
Technology Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for
Engineering and Technology, 111
Market Place, Suite 1050, Baltimore, Maryland 21202 - Telephone: (410) 347-7700.
In addition to providing a strong
background in the fundamentals of
manufacturing engineering technology, the program places an
emphasis in the application of
computer systems to modem
manufacturing. This includes
topics such as robotics, computeraided design (CAD), programmable logic controllers (PLC), and
computer-aided manufacturing
(CAM). The classes and labs in the
curriculum average about 15
students and are taught by faculty
who are dedicated to undergraduate teaching excellence.
A scientific "high technology"
basis in the field of manufacturing
engineering technology is evolving. The MfgET program is
designed to place LSSU graduates
at the leading edge of this evolution.

Program Description:

Career Description:

Mathematics:

Operations Research Analyst helps organizations operate as
efficiently as possible through the
application of mathematical principles to organizational problems.

Many who major in the field of
mathematics combine those studies
with education courses and obtain
employment as teachers. People
with mathematics degrees are
found in a broad range of occupations where quantitative skills are
needed; one of the largest employers of mathematics is the National
Security Agency. Often a minor
field of study (such as computer
science) provides the supporting
credential for entry-level jobs.

Actuarial and Business Applications:
The actuarial and business applications option combines mathematical knowledge with quantitative
business applications. The result is
a very marketable degree that
provides many exciting career
opportunities for graduates. A
student should be prepared to take
the first actuarial examination in
the spring of his /her junior year
and the second examination the
following spring. A student choosing this emphasis will complete a
minor in accounting-finance.
Teaching degrees - a completion
of a fifth year internship and
graduate course work qualifies you
for elementary or secondary
teacher certification in Michigan
and Ontario, as well as reciprocity
with several other states.
Graduate school - an undergraduate mathematics major with
emphasis on abstraction, together
with an analytical approach to
problem solving, continues to
provide strong preparation for
graduate work in diverse fields especially when combined with a
minor in the related field.

Statistician - government
agencies such as the Bureau of
Labor employ statisticians to
monitor the consumer price index,
employment statistics and the like.
Industries use statisticians in their
efforts to forecast future needs, to
implement quality control, and to
design information-gathering
strategies.
Research Scientist - mathematicians are sometimes needed as
members of a multi-discipline
research team, responsible for
creating a mathematical model of a
real-world process or context, which
then is used to help solve problems
of interest to the team's efforts.
Actuary - assembles and analyzes
statistics to calculate probabilities
of sickness, death, injury, disability,
retirement, property loss and
unemployment for insurance
companies.
School Administrator or Counselor - a valid teaching certificate
and teaching experience are
prerequisites. Further course work
and separate certification are also
required.
Educational Consultant or Trainer
- trains personnel in industry on
new procedures and/ or equipment
needed.

The general political science concentration is
designed to provide a broad education in political
science. It is most appropriate for students who
plan to attend graduate school in political
science and for those with an interest in
government and politics who wish to get a
broad, liberal education. Students who continue
their education in graduate school most often
pursue careers as professors, researchers,
consultants or government officials. Students

The public administration concentration is most
appropriate for students who plan to work in an
administrative capacity in public agencies or
nonprofit organizations with public missions.
Students who choose this option are preparing
for careers of public service. Such careers may
be pursued through positions in government
agencies at the local, state or provincial, and
national levels. Other positions may be found in
nonprofit organizations involved in public
concerns, such as Common Cause, the
Environmental Defense Fund, and the Michigan
Health Council. Some of these careers of public
service may be pursued with only a bachelor's
degree. Others may require completion of a
master's degree in public administration or a
related field.

�Pre-Pharmacy (transfer program)
See College of Natural
and Health Sciences, page 245.

Program Description:

Career Description:

Most pharmacy schools require
students to take two years of prepharmacy preparation prior to
being admitted to their professional program. Admission into
the professional pharmacy programs is very competitive and is
based, to a large extent, on grades
in specific required courses. Many
pharmacy colleges also require
applicants to take the Pharmacy
College Admission Test (P.C.A.T.).
This exam is generally taken midway through your second prepharmacy year.

Community Pharmacist - practices in local pharmacies, professional health centers, hospitals,
nursing homes or neighborhood
health centers.

Pre-pharmacy requirements vary
greatly between different colleges
that offer professional programs in
pharmacy. In general, most require
a pre-pharmacy program that
emphasizes math and science as
well as strong communication
skills. Recently, a majority of the
nation's schools began to move
toward awarding the doctor of
pharmacy (Pharm.D.) as the only
professional degree in pharmacy.
Because many pharmacy curricula
are currently being modified, prepharmacy requirements are also
subject to change.
The modifications in professional
pharmacy curricula, combined
with the variability in pre-pharmacy requirements, make it
imperative for a pre-pharmacy
student to determine the requirements for admission at the schools
he or she desires to attend. A prepharmacy curriculum at Lake
Superior State University can then
be designed to help you obtain
your goals. It is your responsibility
to contact the directors of admissions at the pharmacy schools to
which you are planning to apply so
you can remain informed of their
most recent requirements for
admission.

Government Supervisory Posts USPHS, USDA, DVAemploy
pharmacists for technical writing,
science reporting, directing manufacturing firms or overseeing
cultivation of medicinal plants.
Research Pharmacist - within the
pharmaceutical industry, conduct
research to develop prescription
and non-prescription drugs and
other health products.
University Faculty- teach
students, conduct research, act as
consultants for local, state, national
and international agencies and

Program Description:

Career Description:

The legal assistant profession is
one of the occupations projected to
grow the fastest through the year
2005 according to the U.S. Department of Labor. A legal assistant (or
paralegal) is a valued member of
the legal team and works under the
supervision of attorneys.

Litigation Legal Assistant conducts legal, factual and computerized research; drafts legal
pleadings and documents; interviews clients and witnesses;
investigates, gathers and organizes
case information; assists aJ trial.

This program is designed to train
qualified legal assistants capable of
working in a variety of areas of the
law and in a variety of work
environments. Consequently, the
role and job duties of a legal
assistant vary depending on the
areas of law and work environment in which a legal assistant is
employed. Such diversity, varied
challenges, and employment
possibilities are what makes the
legal assistant profession so
interesting and rewarding.
There are four different degrees or
offerings in legal assistant studies.
They are as follows: (1) a four-year
baccalaureate degree in legal
assistant studies with an emphasis
in legal administration, criminal
law, personal injury, labor law,
legislative/ constitutional law or a
selected minor as approved by the
legal assistant studies coordinator;
(2) a two-year associate's degree in
legal assistant studies; (3) a postbaccalaureate (one-year) certificate
in legal assistant studies (which is
available to students who already
have a bachelor's degree in some
other discipline and wish to make
a career change or advancement);
or (4) a minor in legal assistant
studies which can complement
various majors (and may also be
helpful to students who are planning on attending law school). The
requirements for these programs
are based upon the guidelines of
the National Association of Legal
Assistants.

Corporate Legal Assistant - drafts
and/ or analyzes various legal
documents; attends meetings,
negotiations or closings; performs
legal and factual research; monitors
compliance with applicable industry regulations; assists attorneys
with preparation for collective
bargaining, contract negotiations,
administrative hearings or trials.
Criminal Law Legal Assistant conducts comprehensive interviews of defendants,· law enforcement, victims, and/ or witnesses;
performs case and field investigations; locates and coordinates
usage of applicable experts;
prepares motions, briefs or other
legal documents; acts as a litigation
assistant during trial and any appeal.
Governmental Legal Assistant works as an immigration specialist;
civil rights analyst; environmental
protection specialist; mediation
specialist; legislative analyst;
workers compensation claims
examiner, etc. (even the White
House has employed legal assistants).
Real Estate Legal Assistant conducts title searches; drafts real
estate closing documents; monitors
compliance with title, survey,
disclosure and/ or regulatory
requirements; schedules and
participates in real estate closings.

Note: The above career descriptions are
only a sampling of the numerous
avenues available to legal assistants.

Program Description:

Career Description:

Natural resources technology
courses stress the acquisition of
field skills necessary for success as
a natural resource technician as
well as the theoretical foundations
for these skills. This practical
knowledge is enriched by course
materials which emphasize communication skills as well as the
links between society, economics,
policy and the natural resource
base. This program can be taken as
a stand alone two-year program,
can constitute the first half of the
bachelor of science in parks and
recreation management, or it can
be used in conjunction with a
three-year criminal justice program
to prepare a student for a career in
conservation law. The natural
resource technology program can
also serve as a convenient stepping
stone into the Fisheries &amp; Wildlife
program.

Natural Resource Technician Forestry, wildlife, fisheries and
park technicians are responsible for
data collection and other hands-on
work in either the public or private
sector.

All natural resource technology
students are strongly encouraged
to participate in at least one
summer's worth of work or volunteer experience in the natural
resource field to gain the professional experience and contacts they
will need to begin their careers.
Continuing education to
bachelor's degree program - The
high degree of competition in the
natural resource field makes the
pursuit of a bachelor's degree
highly desirable. Programs which
join well with the NRT degree are
the parks and recreation management degree, the fisheries &amp;
wildlife degree and the 2+3 criminal justice degree programs. These
programs lead to careers such as
conservation officer, park naturalist, expedition leader, guide or
recreation specialist.

Legal Assistant
(Paralegal) Profession:

Legal Assistant Program
Offerings:

The legal assistant profession is
one of the occupations projected to
grow the fastest through the year
2005 according to the U.S. Department of Labor. A legal assistant (or
paralegal) is a valued member of
the legal team and works under the
supervision of attorneys. The legal
assistant profession is both challenging and offers many career
advancement opportunities.

There are four different degrees or
offerings in legal assistant studies.
They are as follows:

This program is designed to train
qualified legal assistants capable of
working in a variety of work
environments. Consequently, the
role and job duties of a legal
assistant vary depending on the
areas of law and work environment in which a legal assistant is
employed. Such diversity, varied
challenges and employment
possibilities are what makes the
legal assistant profession so
interesting and rewarding. For
instance, legal assistants are
employed in law firms; corporations; financial institutions; government (federal, tribal, state or local);
courts and mediation systems; real
estate offices and title companies;
insurance companies; special
interest groups; prosecutor and
public defender offices; educational institutions; financial service
organizations; credit and collection
agencies; and service, consulting or
publishing companies.

1.

a four-year baccalaureate
degree in legal assistant
studies with an emphasis in
legal administration, criminal
law, personal injury, labor law,
legislative/ constitutional law
or a selected minor as approved by the legal assistant
studies coordinator;

2.

a two-year associate' s degree
in legal assistant studies;

3.

a post-baccalaureate (one-year)
certificate in legal assistant
studies (which is available to
students who already have a
bachelor's degree in some
other discipline and wish to
make a career change or
advancement); or

4.

a minor in legal assistant
studies which can complement
various majors (and may also
be helpful to students who are
planning on' attending law
school).

For further information on each of
these programs, please see the
appropriate curriculum descripti.on pages in this Catalog.

Program Highlights:

nity members throughout
northern Michigan (as well as
faculty) provide guidance on
curriculum, graduate placement, and other matters
relating to the legal assistant
program at LSSU

The strengths or special features of
the legal assistant studies program
at LSSU include the following:

•

•

•

numerous law courses are
offered so that students gain
substantial knowledge in
various areas of the law
law courses are practical "how
to" courses taught by attarneys, judges and others who
have expertise in the areas in
which they teach
an internship or practicum is
available in a law office or
other legal environment so that
students gain valuable on-thejob experience which can lead
to greater job opportunities (in
fact, a number of graduates
have obtained employment at
their internship site)

•

the program has been in
existence at LSSU since 1983
and adheres to high educational standards

•

the areas of ethics, legal
research and legal writing
(which are vital skills in the
legal environment) are given
particular emphasis

•

annual alumni surveys demonstrate excellent job placement
throughout the United States

•

a legal assistant student/
alumni association enhances
the educational experience
through its various activities
(e.g., mock trials; guest speakers from the legal community;
seminars; social events)

•

the teaching emphasis is on
preparing legal assistants to
work within varied legal and
related environments and to
learn how to solve real-life
legal problems

Political Science

The Political Science
Program:
LSSU' s innovative political science
program is designed to contribute
leaders who will help meet the
challenges of the 21st century. The
program provides students with
both a broad liberal arts education
and the important skills they need
to begin a career or pursue additional education.

Student Organization:
The Political Science Club is a
nonpartisan student organization
that promotes discussion and
understanding of current political
issues. The club sponsors speakers, arranges debates between
political candidates, hosts student
forums with the University president ("Pizza with the President"),
participates in debates with
students from Algoma University
College in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario
("CanAm Debates"), sponsors
voter registration and get-out-thevote drives, and participates in a
variety of other activities related to
contemporary politics. Membership is open to all LSSU students.

Since students of political science
follow diverse career paths,
political science majors at LSSU
choose from one of three tracks or
concentrations: general political
science, pre-law, and public administration. Each concentration provides a combination of knowledge
and skills uniquely appropriate for
those with particular career goals.

Internships - which involve
supervised practical work experience in an off-campus location are available and encouraged.
Internships may be carried out
with local, state (or provincial) or
federal agencies in the Sault Ste.
Marie area. Other internship
opportunities are available in
Washington, Lansing, Toronto and
Ottawa. One of the most exciting
of these opportunities is the
Washington Semester Program, a
cooperative arrangement with
American University in Washington, D.C. Students selected to
participate in this program spend a
semester taking classes and working in Washington.

One of the innovative features of
the program is the replacement of
the traditional minor field of study
with a set of cognate (related)
courses spread across several
disciplines. The cognate requirements for each concentration are
tailored to meet the specific needs
of those within the concentration.
The cognates complement a
student's courses in political
science by providing important
background (such as history,
philosophy and economics) and
valuable skills (such as computer,
research, writing and speaking
skills).
A second innovative feature is a
required year-long senior seminar.
As part of this seminar, students
analyze their career goals, prepare
a resume and write a senior thesis.
Since writing a thesis requires
discipline, perseverance and the
ability to integrate, the senior
seminar serves as a capstone for
the student's education. Students
make public presentations of their
theses prior to graduation. Family,
friends and the University community are invited to these presentations.

Psychology is the systematic study
of methods to understand, predict
and influence human behavior and
mental processes. The major
provides students with exposure to
the areas that define contemporary
scientific psychology. The psychology major helps a student develop
analytical thinking and communication skills which are applicable
to a variety of careers. Many
psychology majors pursue gradu-·
ate degrees. Psychology electives
enable students to construct a
program of study consistent with
their professional goals. The
bachelor of science and bachelor of
arts degrees differ only in the
nature of the cognate courses that
are selected. The bachelor of
science degree requires science
courses and the bachelor of arts
degree requires foreign language
courses.

Sociology is the scientific study of
human social groups, from families
to societies. Sociologists examine
how variables~ such as culture,
laws and customs, influence
persons within society. Sociologists also investigate how people,
through interaction, sustain or
change society.
The knowledge acquired through
sociology is useful in a number of
careers, including human services,
law enforcement, corrections,
elementary and secondary teaching, business administration,
public administration, law, and
medicine, among others.
For the student who is planning a
career as a professional sociologist,
who teaches and conducts research; or a career as a consultant, a
manager, or a policy analyst: an
undergraduate major in sociology
provides a good background for
graduate work in sociology.

Manufacturing Engineering
Technology (MfgET) is a multidisciplinary field integrating basic
knowledge and skills from fields
such as mechanical engineering
technology, electrical/ electronics
engineering technology, computer
science, management and economics. Whether it be a single gear or a
complete automobile engine, the
complete set of events that results
in a finished product is planned
and implemented by a manufactur-:ing engineering technologist.
As with all engineering technology
programs, the focus of the MfgET
program is in the application of
engineering principles. Therefore,
unlike accredited engineering
programs that require four or more
calculus courses (or advanced
math courses), the MfgET program
(general option) requires only one
calculus course and one statistics
course as necessary background
for applied engineering.
LSSU' s School of Engineering and
Technology houses traditional
training facilities such as a manufacturing processes lab, materials
lab, electronics lab and digital/
microprocessor lab. Further, LSSU
is home for one of the best educational facilities in robotics and
automation in North America.
This lab has 15 industrial robots,
several programmable logic
controllers, machine vision systems
and material handling systems.
The program contains a strong
laboratory emphasis with plenty of
opportunities to work on these and
other real manufacturing systems.
Entrance requirements for the
program for students completing
high school are the same as LSSU's
general entrance policy (please
refer to the section on Admissions
for further details). Students from
other colleges and universities can
transfer to LSSU and apply appropriate credits towards the
bachelor's degree in MfgET.
Students who are completing their

associate' s degree in a related field
from a community college can
typically complete the MfgET B.S.
degree in two additional years at
LSSU.
A scientific "high technology"
basis in the field of manufacturing
engineering technology is evolving. The MfgET program is designed to place LSSU graduates at
the leading edge of this evolution.

�School of Mathematics and Computer Science
The School of Mathematics and
Computer Science has two primary
objectives: (1) provide valuable
service courses to all University
majors in mathematics and computer science, and (2) offer exciting
and challenging degree programs
at the bachelor's and associate' s
level, as well as offer minors in
both mathematics and computer
science.

Computer Science
In recent years, a quiet revolution
has taken place. The computer has
moved out of the back room of
large corporations and research
institutions into the front offices
and living rooms of modem
society. Computer scientists work
at the leading edge of this revolution, developing software systems
that allow us to utilize the electronic hardware the engineers have
built. The work is challenging, and
often frustrating, but is ultimately
very rewarding.
The department offers a bachelor
of science in computer and mathematical sciences that combines a
study of digital computing with
the study of mathematical concepts. The resulting program
provides you with considerable
versatility and potential for future
endeavors in which practical
quantitative skills are important.
The systems emphasis offers applied
mathematics and business courses
to complement the solid computer
science core. The quantitative
emphasis provides a strong mathematics background that is necessary for graduate school, as well as
many numerically intensive
computer occupations.
For those interested in two years of
preparation and then entry to the
work force, the associate's degree
in computer science is an option. A
minor in computer science is
available to provide excellent

support and value to most majors
offered at the University. A separate computer science teaching
minor is also available for students
pursuing teacher education.

Faculty

Mathematics
A most productive tool: Mathematics
is the foundation of the sciences
and the technology largely responsible for our present standard of
living. Mathematics is one of the
most productive tools yet discovered for unraveling the mysteries
of our universe. In some instances,
it is the only language in which
some ideas can be expressed.
Courses offered in this discipline
provide the foundation for future
work in mathematics. Our teaching
objectives are twofold: to give you
an understanding of mathematics,
and to impart an understanding of
the many ways in which this tool
maybe used.

The Department of Nursing offers
a bachelor's degree in nursing
which is based on the belief that
nursing is goal-oriented, directed
toward assisting human beings in
health promotion, maintenance,
restoration and rehabilitation. The
program is based upon human
needs theory throughout the life
cycle and is built on a liberal arts
foundation in the belief that all
aspects of society must be considered influential factors in the
health of human beings.

Bachelor of Science in
Nursing:

Accreditation:

Course distribution requirements
facilitate development of liberal
backgrounds in physical science,
social science and humanities. The
curriculum lays a scientific basis
for expanding roles in nursing
practice. The nursing curriculum
provides an interdisciplinary major
and does not require a minor to
meet graduation requirements.
Students interested in a minor
should refer to the appropriate
Catalog section. A total of 127
credits is required to complete a
bachelor of science degree in
nursing.

The bachelor of science in nursing
program is approved by the
Michigan Board of Nursing and is
accredited by the National League
for Nursing Accreditation Commission.

Courses:

Advisory Committee:
The Department of Nursing has an
advisory committee with local area
members representing health care
providers, health care administrators, health education programs
and high school counselors. These
members represent a community
perspective to assist in providing
feedback into educating
bachelor's-prepared nursing
graduates, identification of potential student learning activities,
health care trends affecting the
delivery of nursing services, and ·
assist in ongoing evaluation of the
program.

Courses offered by the department
are in nursing and health sciences.
Nursing courses provide the core
content of the nursing major and
are limited to students accepted
into the nursing program. Health
science courses provide a wide
range of knowledge and skills
useful for preparation in related
health careers and in the delivery
of health services in the community.

The Department of Nursing offers
two curricular tracks to the bachelor of science degree in nursing:
the four-year program and the twoyear completion program for the
registered nurse.
The programs provide you with
the opportunity to acquire knowledge, values and skills necessary
for the practice of professional
nursing.

Clinical Experiences:
The nursing program is unique in
its international affiliation. Clinical
nursing experience is obtained at
hospitals and community agencies
in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario as well
as at health care and community
agencies in Sault Ste. Marie,
Michigan and the surrounding
area. The LSSU Health CARE
Center provides opportunities for
practice in nurse-managed community nursing centers.

Pre-Nursing Entrance
Requirements:

Entrance Requirements
to Nursing:

To qualify as a pre-nursing major,
applications must satisfy University admission requirements
described in the admission section
of the Catalog. (This information is
also included in the Viewbook).

Many changes are occurring in
health care and other professions.
New skills and knowledge are
needed for the nursing graduate to
provide quality nursing care.
Some of the major changes and
how they influence the role of the
nurse are shown in the chart below.

For students with college-level
achievement, the opportunity will
be offered, by means of examination, to obtain course credit or
placement into an advanced
course.
High school academic subjects
include a minimum of one unit of
biology, one of chemistry, three of
English and two of algebra. Additional science and mathematics
courses are highly recommended.
Students complete one year in prenursing before making application
to the Department of Nursing for
admission to the nursing major.
Admission is based upon 1) filing a
Declaration of Intent to enter the
nursing program by February 1 of
the spring prior to fall admission,
2) successful completion of selected
pre-nursing courses, and 3) academic achievement.

Change

Nursing, B.S.
Four-Year Program

Pre-Licensure Track

In response to these changes,
faculty in the Department of
Nursing have been carefully
reviewing the current nursing
curriculum. Currently, students
are spending almost half of one
semester learning basic nursing
skills such as bed-making, transferring patients from bed to chair, and
giving complete bed baths.
Given the limited number of hours
available for nursing students to
obtain the essential knowledge and
skills needed for their success upon
graduation, the LSSU nursing
faculty strongly believe that the
basic skills (those previously listed
and others) would best be obtained
by the student prior to admission
to the nursing program. Requiring
competence in basic skills prior to
admission would "free-up" valuable classroom and clinical time to
devote to the knowledge and skills
essential for the nurse in the 21st
century.

Knowledge Needed by Nurses

Goal

There are more unlicensed assistive
workers in health care.

Pre-Licensure Track

DCertified nursing assistant courses
include these basic skills and
others. If nursing students are
prepared at the level of a certified
nursing assistant (CENA) prior to
admission to the nursing program,
there will be advantages to the
student in a number of ways.
1.

2.

3.

On admission to the nursing
program, you will be prepared
to take on educational subjects,
issues and experiences that will
best prepare you for professional nursing roles.
Being certified as a nursing
assistant will provide you with
actual experience in a patientcare setting. This will help you
to have a more realistic perception of patient care, and
will also help to decrease the
anxiety level if you have never
had actual "hands-on" patient
care experiences.
From a purely economic
standpoint, certification as a
nursing assistant will provide
you with employment opportunities at higher pay scales
during the school year and
summer breaks.

Based on the nursing faculty's
examination and discussion of
issues related to changes in the
nursing profession and their
impact on nursing education, the
following requirements for admission to the nursing program have
been established.

Updated Entrance
Requirements:
1.

Students officially admitted to
the nursing program at the
sophomore level for fall 1998
and 1999 will be required to
possess basic nursing skills
(listed below) before enrolling
in NU213 - Fundamentals of
Nursing in spring 1999 and
2000, respectively:

a.

Bed making (occupied and
unoccupied).

b. Patient transfers ambulation and positioning (bed to wheelchair/
bedside chair to bed, bed
to stretcher, stretcher to
bed).
c.

Complete bed bath including total hygiene.

d. Body mechanics and
patient safety.
These skills may be acquired in a
variety of ways. The faculty of the
Department of Nursing do not
require any one method, but offer
the following suggestions for
learning these skills:
•

Certified nursing assistant
course (current or proof of
prior certification)

•

Nursing assistant, health
occupations course in high
school, or personal care worker
course.

•

�A Look at LSSU
Established in 1946 to address the
needs of returning World War II
veterans and to provide educa­
tional opportunities to the people
of the Eastern Upper Peninsula,
Lake Superior State University still
embodies the essence of the early
days. A personal education in a safe

and friendly environment remains a
hallmark of today's LSSU.

from the original class of 272 to
more than 3,400 students.

Our beautiful 115-acre campus
overlooks the Michigan and Ontario
twin cities of Sault Ste. Marie, the St.
Mary's River, and the world famous
Soo Locks. The school is located at
the beginning of Interstate 75 which
ends in the Florida Keys.

There are 14 buildings on the Na­
tional Historic Register contributing
to the University's sense of tradi­
tion. This unique architectural blend
is a reminder of the "weapons to
plowshares" history of the setting.

Community: Sault Ste. Marie (pop.
18,000) is one of the oldest cities in
North America, having begun as a
fur trading center in the early 17th
century. A Jesuit mission was estab­
lished here in 1641, and Father Mar­
quette founded the first permanent
settlement 27 years later, within the
boundaries of what was to become
Michigan. The Sault celebrated its
300th birthday in 1968.

The Sault Branch was rechristened
Lake Superior State College of
Michigan Technical University
in 1966. Autonomy arrived for
LSSC in 1970. University status
was granted in 1987 to the state's
smallest public institution of higher
learning. Enrollment has grown

«*»

The campus served as Ft. Brady
starting in 1894 after the fort was
relocated from the banks of the St.
Mary's. The fort was deactivated
in 1944 and, thanks to the efforts
of local volunteers and leadership
at Michigan College of Mining &amp;
Technology in Houghton, opened in
the fall of that year as the Sault Ste.
Marie Residence Center of MCMT.

Our sister city, Sault Ste. Marie,
Ontario, is a cultural, recreational,
social and entertainment center.
The combined population of the
Twin Saults (98,000) allows for an
international flavor abounding with
the opportunities of a city, and the
safety and comfort of a small town.

Expectations
for Student Learning
Lake Superior State University
utilizes a Student Academic
Achievement Plan developed by
the faculty to enhance continuous
quality improvement and to meet
the Assessment Initiative of the
Higher Learning Commission of
the North Central Association
of Colleges and Schools. The
intent of this plan is to document
student learning at Lake Superior
State University both in the major
program and across the general
education requirements. This
continuous evaluation process
works to assure high quality
teaching and effective student
learning. The faculty at Lake

Superior State University have
collectively agreed upon the
characteristics of the educated
person the institution hopes to
graduate and have identified
outcomes that can be used to
document these attributes. The
following are areas that the
faculty have deemed essential
to a liberal education and have
value for the students in their
lives as responsible citizens:
communication skills, mathematics,
cultural diversity, humanities,
and social and natural science.
Students who complete the general
education courses at Lake Superior
State University will be able to
6 • Lake Superior State University

demonstrate attributes of the
general education outcomes.
Students attending Lake Superior
State University can expect
commitment by the University
to document and enhance
student learning. Through the
assessment process, the University
demonstrates its commitment
to improving student learning
and ensures that when students
graduate they have attained
specific attributes and abilities.
Lake Superior State University
expects a commitment on the
part of its students to actively
participate in the learning process.

Please familiarize yourself with
the academic policies described in
this catalog. They will help you
obtain your educational objectives.
Faculty advisors, staff and administive personnel will also help you
negotiate your way through these
policies — seek their advice when­
ever you have questions!

uled 9-9:50 a.m. Monday, Wednes­
day and Friday for 14 weeks plus
one week for exams. Laboratory
classes, field work or other non-lec­
ture classes meet for more than one
hour a week per credit.

The Academic Year

The average credit-hour load for
full-time students is 16 credits. A
minimum of 124 credits is required
for all baccalaureate degrees; a
minimum of 62 credits is required
for all associate degrees.

Lake Superior State University
operates on a semester system.
There are two regular 15-week
semesters (fall and spring) which
begin in August or September and
end in April or May. The sum­
mer semester consists of classes
offered in two six-week sessions,
or one 12-week session. Starting
and ending dates are listed in the
Academic Calendar in the back of
this catalog.

Academic Credit
One credit is equal to 14 hours of
classroom instruction in lecture/
recitation courses. For example, a
three-credit course might be sched-

You should expect to spend two
hours of study or class preparation
for each hour spent in class.

Student Curriculum
Choice and Advising
When you apply for admission,
you are asked to declare a major.
The major you declare will deter­
mine which major department you
are in and the academic advisor
assigned to you. Please get to know
your advisor well and meet with
him/her often to get help in class
selection, degree progress and ca­
reer advice. You may change your
major curriculum by processing a
Curriculum Change Form through
the Registrar's Office. The Regis­
trar's Office, Counseling Center
and departmental offices have the
form and instructions. Curriculum
change forms must be filed with
the Registrar's Office for each cur­
riculum change.
If you are unsure of your major,
you will be assigned to the Liberal
Arts major and the academic advi­
sor assigned to you will be a staff
member of the Learning Center,
Career Services or Counseling
Center.

Semester Course
Selection
Registration for the next semester
takes place near the end of your
current semester.

�Three weeks before registration,
course schedules listing times,
dates and locations will be available
online at: http://www.lssu.edu/
scheduling, and in Anchor Access.
Review the class offerings, read the
instructions for scheduling, and
meet with your advisor to select
courses for the next semester.
You must sign up for classes for the
semester in which you will be doing
the actual work.
Please review all the registartion
information carefully as it has dates
for registration according to class
level, dates for tuition payments,
and information regarding pre­
requisites, corequisites and other
course requirements.
It is your responsibility to ensure
that the classes you take count
toward your degree program. You
may, however, be required to take
developmental courses (course
numbers beginning with "0", such
as MATH081), which will not count
toward graduation.
Test Scores: When you apply for
admission, you will send your ACT
score to Lake Superior State Univer­
sity. Your score determines the level
of English and math courses into
which you will be placed. If you
have been out of high school more
than 26 months and have not taken
the ACT, you will take placement
tests at the Testing Center at Lake
Superior State to determine your
placement in English and math.
Maximum credit load: You may
carry up to 20 credits per semester.
You may take more credits if you
have a 3.00 GPA or higher and have
written approval from the appro­
priate dean. Students on academic
probation should not take more
than 15 credits.
Prerequisites: Many courses require
that you complete English and
math, or other preliminary classes
before signing up to take these
courses. If you have not met the
prerequisite, you will not be al­
lowed to register for the class. If you
registered for a course, and later are

found not to have the necessary pre­
requisite, the instructor may drop
you from the class with an N grade.
Some courses require that you earn
a C or better in prerequisite courses
before registering for the next
course. Exceptions may be made
only by the dean of your college
or the instructor of the subsequent
class.
Repeats: You may repeat a class in
which you earn a grade other than
"W" or "N" only tzvice without special
permission and only under thefollozuing conditions:
1.

Courses transferred from other
institutions are included in this
policy.

2.

Both the original and repeat
grades will show on the tran­
script, but hours earned toward
graduation will only count once.

3.

For the purpose of calculating
the cumulative grade point
average, only the grade of the
last attempt will be used, if the
last class was taken at LSSU. If
you transfer in a class to repeat
a class from LSSU, the LSSU
grade will be removed from
your grade point average.

4.

To repeat a course more than
twice, you must obtain the per­
mission of the course instructor
and the appropriate dean. Per­
mission is granted only under
exceptional circumstances.

This policy began fall 2001 for all
new students either as transfer or
new freshmen.
Policy on substitutions or waivers
for failed classes: If you fail a class
required for your degree program,
you must repeat the class and
receive a passing grade. If the failed
class is no longer offered because
of program changes and/or course
deletions, the dean may approve
a substitution or waiver recom­
mended by the academic chair. The
chair must provide reasons for the
recommendation on the substitu­
tion/ waiver form which is sent to
the dean's office.

Academic Records.
Non-attendance of the first class:
Your instructor may drop you from
a course if you do not attend or if
you do not call the instructor before
classes begin. The course instructor
will fill out a Drop Form and notify
you if you are dropped from the
course.
Adding/Dropping courses through
the sixth day of the semester: You
may add or drop courses online us­
ing Anchor Access through the sixth
day of the fall or spring semester.
If you are attending a summer se­
mester, you can add or drop courses
online through the fourth day of the
semester.
If you wish to add a course that is
full or without having the neces­
sary prerequisites, you must contact
the instructor for that course to
request permission. If the instructor
approves the request, he/she will
complete an Instructor Override for
you. You must then go online and
register for that course.
Courses dropped through the sixth
day (fourth for summer semester)
will not appear on your academic
transcript.
Adding courses after the sixth day
of the semester: Online registration
ends on the sixth day of the semes­
ter (fourth for summer semester). If
you wish to add a course after this
date, you must have the instructor's
permission. You will need to com­
plete a Schedule Adjustment Form,
have the instructor sign it giving
permission, and then process the
form at the Student Service Counter
in the Fletcher Center for Student
Services.
Dropping courses after the sixth
day of the semester: You may
drop a full-semester course dur­
ing the first eight weeks (40 days)
of the semester. For courses run­
ning less than a full semester (e.g.
seven-week class), check online for
the official drop dates — the time
period for dropping will be ap­

proximately equal to one-half of the
course instructional period. If you
drop a course, you will receive an N
grade on your academic transcript.
N grades are not counted in the
academic GPA.
If you wish to drop a course as of
the seventh day of the fall or spring
semester (fifth for summer), you
must have the instructor's signa­
ture. Please complete a Schedule
Adjustment Form, have the instruc­
tor sign it, then process the form at
the Student Service Counter in the
Fletcher Center for Student Services.
To drop a class after the eight-week
drop requires extenuating circum­
stances, and you must obtain a
Withdrawal form. You must:
1.

Complete the form (including
listing a reason for the drop).

2.

Get the instructor's signature
and the instructor's recommen­
dation.

3.

Take the completed form to the
appropriate dean (of the class
being dropped), for his/her
review and decision.

4.

If the dean approves the drop,
you must then take the from to
the registrar's office for pro­
cessing.

A W grade will appear on your
permanent record and will not af­
fect your GPA.
Class attendance: Regular class
attendance and active participation
in classes are important elements in
the learning process. You are at the
University primarily for the sake
of intellectual growth and develop­
ment. Attendance and participation
provide appropriate opportunities
for the evaluation of your progress.
You are personally responsible for
the satisfactory completion of the
course work prescribed by your
instructors. This means that you are
expected to attend classes regularly,
and that you are responsible for the
work assigned in class, the material
covered in class, and for participa­
tion in class activities (including
discussion and listening) designed
by the instructor as part of the
14 • Lake Superior State University

learning experience. However,
mere physical attendance should
not be a criterion for evaluation of
your performance.
Participation in an official Univer­
sity function is an excused absence
when approved by the provost
You will not be penalized for such
participation. You are responsible
for work missed and must confer
with your instructor on this matter.
Complete withdrawal: If you are
a full-time student and drop all of
your classes during the first eight
weeks of the semester, you may
be eligible for tuition refund. To
receive any refund, fill out a With­
drawal Form at the Student Service
Counter. This office will authorize
your refund from the Business
Office. (Please check online for the
refund policy.)
Before leaving, be sure you have
cleared any holds on your records
so you can return at a later date or
have transcripts of your academic
records sent.

Grading System
Grade Point Average (GPA): To
calculate your GPA for a semes­
ter, divide the total quality points
earned by the GPA hours. GPA
hours include those earned or
failed but not those classes taken
for credit/no credit. Cumulative
GPA is calculated by dividing
total quality points earned by the
number of GPA hours carried in all
semesters. If you repeat a course,
count only the credits carried and
the points of the last grade earned.
Just the grade of your last attempt
is calculated in your GPA.
A cumulative GPA of 2.00 for all
credits is required for graduation.
Further, a 2.00 cumulative grade
point average for all credits in major,
minor(s), and general education is
required. Some programs require a
higher GPA in the major curriculum.
Incomplete grades (I): An incom­
plete
grade can be issued in the
case of extenuating circumstances

You will be dismissed for academic deficiencies if you are on probation for two consecutive semesters at Lake
Superior State University. If your cumulative GPA Hours (as shown on your transcript) are 19 or more and your
grade point average is 1.60 or less, you will be dismissed. GPA Hours are those used in figuring your grade point
average. Classes not at the 100-level or above are not counted in the GPA Hours. Classes with grades of CR/NC are
not counted in the GPA Hours.
*A cumulative grade point average of 2.00 for all credits carried at Lake Superior State University and a cumula­
tive grade point average of 2.00 for all courses required in your major, minor and general education is necessary
for graduation (effective fall 2007).

You will be on academic
probation if your cumulative
grade point average falls
below 2.000. Academic
Probation limits you to 15
credits. You must contact
your advisor to adjust your
schedule before classes start
for the next semester.
If you are on probation for
two consecutive semesters
(summer semester included
if you are enrolled in
summer classes), you will be
academically dismissed or, if
your cumulative GPA Hours
are 19 or more and your grade
point average is 1.60 or less,
you will be academically
dismissed. Your classes for
the next semester(s) will be
deleted.
After a first or second
dismissal you may choose one
of the following options:

a. Allow two semesters
(summer may be counted
for one semester) to elapse
before re-enrollment, or
b. Petition the Scholastic
Standards Committee for
immediate readmission
should extenuating
circumstances exist. This
action is initiated with the
Assistant to the Provost
for Academic Records.
The Committee can either
permit early readmission
with specific conditions
required of you or deny
your request. Subsequent
to the Committee's denial,
you can further appeal to
the Provost, whose decision
is final.

If you continue after a
dismissal, you will be dismissed
again after any semester in
which your cumulative grade
point average falls below a 2.00.

The Assistant to the Provost
for Academic Records may
allow you to continue "on
probation," with the record
showing "on probation"
instead of "academic
dismissal" if your record has
shown improvement during
the semester and you have
a 2.00 grade point average
in courses carried for that
semester.
5.

If you are dismissed a
third time, you will not
be reinstated without the
permission of the Provost.
Three semesters must elapse
from the time of dismissal
before you may petition for
readmission. Summer may be
counted for one semester.

The Scholastic Standards
Committee may dismiss
you from the university for
demonstrated academic
dishonesty.

�beyond the control of the student
that prevent completion of course
requirements. Examples of extenu­
ating circumstances may include
health issues, death of a parent/
spouse/child, or military service.
Appropriate documentation is
required. An I grade can be issued
in a course, that by design, cannot
be completed in one semester. You
must make up the work by the date
specified by the instructor. If a date
is not given, the student will have a
maximum of two semesters (exclud­
ing summer semesters) to complete
the requirements for removing the
I grades. Two semesters after the
issuance of the I grade, if the pro­
fessor has not completed a Grade
Change Form or requested an
extension, the Registrar's Office will
change the I grade to an F grade.
N and W grades: These grades are
given to those classes that you have
officially dropped (N) or withdrawn
(W).
Grade change: You may request
your instructor to review and
change a grade within two semes­
ters after completion. The instruc­
tor completes and sends a Grade
Change Form to the Registrar's
Office.
Dean's List: Full-time students car­
rying at least 12 graded credits of
college-level courses (100 level or
above) in a semester with a grade
point average of 3.500 or higher,
and NOT having any incomplete (I)
grades, will earn Dean's List hon­
ors, which acknowledge outstand­
ing academic achievement.
If a grade is changed, prior to the
conclusion of the following semes­
ter, because of "instructor error" or
because the student has completed
work for a course which received an
I grade, the student will be consid­
ered for Dean's List honors.
If the grade change is for some
other reason or occurs after the con­
clusion of the following semester,
the student will not be reevaluated
for Dean's List honors.
Effective fall semester 2006, stu-

dents earning Dean's List honors
will have this designation noted on
their LSSU academic transcript.

Credit/No Credit
Courses
You may enroll in some courses on
a credit/no credit basis if you are in
good academic standing. The fol­
lowing conditions exist:
1.

One course per semester may be
taken as credit/no credit.

2.

Only 12 credits of courses taken
as credit/no credit may be ap­
plied toward a degree.

3.

Courses that are required by
your major, minor, or that are
general education courses,
can not be taken for credit/no
credit.

4.

You apply at the Registrar's
Office to enroll for a credit/no
credit course during the drop/
add period; cannot change to
regular grades after the drop/
add period ends.

5.

Instructors are not notified
that you are taking a course as
credit/no credit; the CR or NC
credit is assigned based on the
grade your instructor submits.

A student who cheats is subject to
dismissal from the University. If, in
the opinion of the faculty member
involved, such action is warranted,
he or she will notify the chair of
the Scholastic Standards Commit­
tee and the student in writing. The
Scholastic Standards Committee
will then conduct a hearing in such
a manner that the student is given
due process. If the committee
decides that dismissal is warranted,
the student shall have five school
days to appeal that decision to the
provost of the University.

Credit by
Examination
There are three examination pro­
cesses you can take to earn credit for
individual courses or general educa­
tion requirements. They include:
1.

Advanced placement

2.

CLEP examinations — Inquire
at the Student Services Counter,
Counseling Center or with the
assistant to the provost for aca­
demic records for information
on the CLEP examinations.

3.

Departmental examinations
— Inquire with the academic
department whether an
examination is available.

You maintain a 2.00 C aver­
age in a course to receive a CR
grade.

6.

failing grade for the entire course.

Certain courses are always offered
with a credit/no credit format.
These courses have this information
in the official course description
and course syllabi. The policy and
limitations outlined above do not
apply to these courses.

Cheating and
Plagiarism:
The assumption of the academic
contract is that the student does
his or her own work: any breach of
the contract is considered cheating.
The faculty member who detects a
student cheating may take appro­
priate action, such as assigning a
16 • Lake Superior State University

You must be admitted to a degree
program and in attendance at Lake
Superior State University to receive
credit by examination. An examina­
tion grade of 2.00 is required to earn
credit. There is a fee required for
both CLEP examination and depart­
mental examinations. The credits
earned by examination appear as
transfer credits on your transcript.
Some universities may not accept
this type of credit for transfer.

Auditing a Class
Audits are designed for someone
who wishes to take a particular
course for its content but not be
graded for the course. An LSSU
student may register for any

�course on an audit basis provided
all prerequisites have been satis­
fied.
The coursework for auditing a
course is determined in conjunc­
tion with the faculty member for
the course.
Auditing courses does not count
as part of a student's official class
load for determining financial aid
eligibility, veteran's benefits or
any other enrollment certification
requirements.
Students may change from an au­
dit to credit status during the first
week of classes and only with the
concurrence of the faculty member
for the course. This change must
be processed through the Regis­
trar's Office for grading purposes.

Transcripts
You may have an official copy
of your permanent records sent
to schools, companies and other
places or persons of your choice.
Send a written request with your
student ID number, name during
enrollment and dates of attendance
to Lake Superior State University,
Registrar's Office, 650 W. Easterday
Ave., Sault Ste. Marie, MI 49783.
Your first official transcript is free;
afterwards there is a $5 charge for
each transcript. Student copy tran­

also obtain written consent before
releasing personally identifiable
data about students from records
to other than a specified list of
exceptions. In addition, students
must be notified of these rights.

�Equal Opportunity
Notice of Lake Superior State Univer­
sity's policy of compliance with federal
and state law

ii.

Policy
The University is an equal oppor­
tunity employer and educator and
prohibits discrimination, including
harassment, on the basis of race,
color, national origin or ancestry,
gender, age, disability, religion,
height, weight, sexual preference,
marital status, or veteran status.
In carrying out this policy, the
University complies with all federal
and state laws and regulations pro­
hibiting discrimination including:
Executive Order 11246, the ElliottLarsen Civil Rights Act of 1976,
Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of
1964, The Equal Pay Act of 1963,
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of
1964, as amended by the Equal Em­
ployment Opportunity Act of 1972,
and the Pregnancy Discrimination
Act of 1978, Title IX of the Educa­
tion Amendments of 1972, Titles VII
and VIII of the Public Health Ser­
vice Act, Age Discrimination in Em­
ployment Act of 1967, Sections 503
and 504 of the Rehabilitation Act
of 1973, Veteran's Assistance Act of
1972, and Title II of the Americans
with Disabilities Act of 1990.

Sexual Harassment
The University is committed to a
policy of nondiscrimination on the
basis of gender. Discrimination
because of gender includes sexual
harassment, which means unwel­
come sexual advances, requests for
sexual favors, and other verbal or
physical conduct or communication
of a sexual nature when:
i.

Submission to such conduct or
communication is made a term
or condition either explicitly
or implicitly to obtain employ­
ment, public accommodations
or public services, education, or
housing;

Submission to or rejection of
such conduct or communica­
tion by an individual is used as
a factor in decisions affecting
such individual's employment,
public accommodations or
public services, education, or
housing; or

iii. Such conduct or communica­
tion has the purpose or effect of
substantially interfering with
an individual's employment,
public accommodations or
public services, education, or
housing environment.
The University is committed to the
protection of the rights of all indi­
viduals and to the elimination of
barriers that would prevent indi­
viduals from realizing their high­
est potential of human excellence.
Sexual harassment is a particularly
noxious form of discrimination that
interferes with these goals and com­
mitments, and is difficult to combat
due to the intimidation and destruc­
tion of self esteem of its victims.

instances of discrimination and
discriminatory harassment
Once the University has been
informed of such behavior, it
will take timely and appropri­
ate steps to investigate the
problem. At any step of the
grievance process, time sched­
ules as outlined in the process
may be extended by mutual
agreement in writing.
2.

With the Grievance Officer, in­
dividuals may discuss concerns
they may have regarding pos­
sible discrimination or harass­
ment to learn what options are
available.

3.

Nonretaliation: The University
not only prohibits discrimina­
tion, including harassment,
but also strictly prohibits any
retaliation against any indi­
vidual, who, in good faith, has
registered a complaint under
this procedure. Any supervi­
sor, agent, or employee of the
University who, after investi­
gation, has been determined
to have retaliated against any
individual for using the com­
plaint procedure in this policy,
will be subject to appropriate
discipline up to and includ­
ing immediate discharge. If
an individual believes he or
she has been retaliated against
for exercising his or her rights
under this policy, the individ­
ual should use this complaint
procedure.

4.

All matters discussed in this
process will be kept as confi­
dential as possible.

5.

If an individual is dissatisfied
with the University's investiga­
tion process or resolution, he
or she may file complaints of
illegal discrimination on the
basis of gender (Title IX and
Title VI) or disability (Section
504 and Title II of the ADA)
with the Office for Civil Rights,
U.S. Department of Education,
Chicago, IL 60605. A Title IX,

Grievance Officer
The Equal Employment Opportu­
nity Officer/Affirmative Action Of­
ficer (EEO Officer) is the designated
grievance officer for discrimination
complaints. If any person believes
that he or she has been subjected to
discrimination, including harass­
ment by unlawful and unacceptable
expressions, acts, attitudes and/or
behaviors based on race, color,
national origin or ancestry, gender,
age, disability, religion, height,
weight, sexual preference, marital
status, or veteran status, he or she
should contact Ms. Beverly White,
EEO Officer, Lake Superior State

which the person complains.

Process
1.

The University encourages all
individuals to promptly report

Lake Superior State University • 23

�in writing with the Office for
Civil Rights no later than 180
days after the occurrence of
the possible discrimination.
6.

Individuals have the right
under the law to seek remedies
from the Michigan Depart­
ment of Civil Rights, the Equal
Employment Opportunity
Commission, the Office for
Civil Rights, U.S. Department
of Education or by court action
at the same time a grievance
is filed under the University's
procedure, during or after the
use of the grievance process,
or without using the grievance
process at all.

STEP 1:
Informal Complaint
Any individual (complainant) with
a discrimination or harassment
complaint, may contact the Griev­
ance Officer in person.
The Grievance Officer will speak
with the complainant and try to
resolve the matter on an informal
basis. At Step 1, all information
will be kept confidential to the
extent possible.

STEP 2:
Formal Complaint
If the problem cannot be resolved
at Step 1 within five (5) working
days from the date of first contact
with the Grievance Officer, the
complainant may submit a written
complaint on a form provided by
the Grievance Officer. The Griev­
ance Officer will help the com­
plainant complete the form if the
complainant requests.
Within five (5) working days of the
receipt of the written complaint,
the Grievance Officer will send a
Notice of Complaint, a copy of the
complaint form, a response form
and a copy of this procedure to the
respondent. The respondent will
submit the completed response
form within five (5) working days
from the date the complaint is
received by the respondent.
The Grievance Officer will conduct
an investigation. The investigation

should be completed within twenty
(20) working days after receipt
of the response. If the complaint
is against the University as the
Employer, the Grievance Officer
will have thirty (30) days from the
receipt of the written complaint to
investigate the matter.
Within ten (10) working days of
completion of the investigation, the
Grievance Officer will issue to the
complainant and to the respondent
a written Determination stating
whether the allegations of the com­
plaint are true and any remedial
action recommended.
At Step 2, information will be kept
confidential to the extent possible.
STEP 3:
Hearing
If either the complainant or the
respondent is dissatisfied with the
Grievance Officer's determination,
he or she may request that the mat­
ter be referred to a Hearing Panel
for a hearing by submitting the
form obtained from the Grievance
Officer. The request for hearing
must be submitted in writing to the
Grievance Officer within five (5)
working days after receipt of the
Determination.
The President will appoint a per­
manent Hearing Panel composed
of three members including, if
possible, at least one female and
one minority member. The vice
president for business and financial
operations will be the chairperson
and will conduct the hearing.
The Grievance Officer will send
a Notice of Hearing and a copy
of the Request for Hearing to the
complainant, respondent (if any),
and Hearing Panel, scheduling the
hearing within fifteen (15) working
days, unless the Panel Chairperson
provides otherwise and so notifies
those involved.
At the hearing, the complainant
and respondent will be allowed to
give their own testimony, present
the testimony of witnesses, docu­
mentary evidence or other evidence
relevant to the proceedings and
cross-examine the other party's
witnesses. The complainant and
24 • Lake Superior State University

respondent may have an attor­
ney or other advisor present. The
Grievance Officer will present the
findings of the investigation con­
ducted at Step 2 and may present
witnesses, if appropriate. To ensure
the privacy of those involved, wit­
nesses (other than the complainant
and respondent) will be allowed in
the hearing room only during their
testimony. At the Chairperson's
discretion, the hearing may be
recorded.
Within fifteen (15) working days
after completion of the hearing, the
Chairperson will issue the Deci­
sion and recommended order of
the Hearing Panel. The Decision
will be mailed to the complainant
and respondent with a copy to the
Grievance Officer. The Chairperson
will implement any action recom­
mended by the Panel.
STEP 4:
Appeal
The decision of the Hearing Panel
will be final and binding. If grievants wish to pursue the matter fur­
ther, they may file with the outside
agencies listed in Policy section,
No. 5. and 6.
Section 5.02 of the by-laws of the
Board of Trustees, approved July
24,1989, will not be invoked for
grievances submitted for settlement
under this procedure.

�Admissions
Freshmen
You may apply to Lake Superior
State University any time during
your final year of high school. Ap­
plications are processed continu­
ously. When all necessary materials
have arrived you will be notified of
a decision as soon as possible. To

complete your admission file you
must submit an official high school
transcript, application fee, and ACT
scores (if you graduated from high
school within 26 months of entering
LSSU). Although ACT scores are
preferred, we will also accept SAT
scores.

The primary factors used to de­
termine admission are cumulative
grade point average (GPA), high
school course curriculum, and ACT
or SAT results. LSSU recommends
that students follow a college pre­
paratory curriculum mirroring the
Michigan Merit Curriculum. The
middle 50 percent of our entering
freshmen class typically have high
school GPAs ranging from 2.7 to
3.3 and ACT scores ranging from
18-24. Students should feel free to
submit any additional materials
which may aid the Admissions Of­
fice in reviewing unusual circum­
stances which may have impacted
high school performance. ACT or
SAT scores will not be used in the
admissions process if you gradu­
ated from high school two or more
years ago.
Your admission will be contingent
upon satisfactory completion of
current coursework and receipt of
a final high school transcript with
verification of graduation from an
accredited school or passing on the
GED. To be considered official, all
transcripts and test score reports
must be mailed from your high
school guidance office or testing
agency directly to Lake Superior
State University.
LSSU assigns each student an
individual student identification
number. Your student number will
be provided to you when you are
admitted. While we do not use
social security numbers as your
student identification, we do use it
to match your application record
with your other permanent records.
Financial aid applications will not
be processed without your social
security number. Social security
numbers should be included on
your application for admission.
Canadian and foreign student ap­

�Students denied regular admission
may reapply after attending anoth­
er accredited college and earning at
least 19 semester (29 quarter) hours
of transferable credit. Evaluation is
then based upon the college record.

Home Schooled
students
Lake Superior State University does
not have separate requirements for
home schooled applicants. Like all
applicants, home schooled students
will need to provide a transcript
of their high school coursework as
well as ACT or SAT scores. Admis­
sion will be determined on the basis
of your high school grade point
average, coursework completed,
and ACT or SAT scores.

ACT
The ACT is offered nationally five
times a year at many locations
including our campus. Registration
forms are available in high school
counseling offices or by contacting
LSSU Testing Services at 906-6352027.

Your complete application should
be submitted at least 30 days prior
to the semester of entry. Transfer
students denied admission may
reapply after taking additional
courses that raise their overall GPA
to above a 2.0.

Credit Evaluations
Official evaluation of transfer credit
is made as quickly as possible after
you are admitted. The Admis­
sions Office will help you with
an unofficial transcript review at
your request.
If a course taken at another institu­
tion is not offered at LSSU, elec­
tive credit may be granted for that
course. Elective credits may be ap­
plied toward degree requirements
but may not be used to satisfy any
specific course requirement.
Courses with grades less than Cwill not transfer.
The Admissions Office completes
transfer credit evaluations. The
decision on courses and transfer
credit granted may be appealed

Transfer Students
Transfer students must possess a
2.0 cumulative college GPA and be
eligible to return to your former
college(s). If you have completed
fewer than 19 semester (29 quar­
ter) hours of credit, you must send
an official high school transcript
or GED scores in addition to your
college transcript (and ACT scores
if you graduated from high school
within 26 months of the semester of
entry).
Contact the college's Registrar's Of­
fice or high school guidance office
to have an official transcript mailed
to our Admissions Office. Tran­

Ontario Students
Ontario student applicants must
satisfy entrance requirements com­
parable to those of United States
students. Please refer to the "Fresh­
men" and "Transfer" sections of the
catalog for details.
If you have completed grade 13
or OAC courses before September
1990, you will receive transfer credit
at the University for each course in
which your final mark was at least
a 60 percent. Transfer credit is not
given for any OAC courses taken
after September 1990. However,
completion of OAC courses pre­
pares some students to earn credit
through testing. See section titled
"Credit by Examination".
Admitted Ontario students must
provide verification of ability to pay
in order to receive a Certificate of
Eligibility for Non-Immigrant (F-l)
Student Status (Form 1-20) required
to attend a university in the United
States. This is not an admissions
requirement for Ontario students;
however, an 1-20 form is required
for you to cross into the U.S. to at­
tend classes. Please refer to "Verifi­
cation of Ability to Pay" section in
the catalog for details.
If you are a Permanent Resident or
able to be in the U.S. with another
form of documentation, we will
need a copy of this documentation
for our records.
If you are a Canadian Aboriginal
or Native American (excluding MELake Superior State University • 27

TIS) with at least 50% blood quan­
tum and have J-treaty privileges
(carry a tribal ID), you are exempt
from needing an 1-20 form. You
must provide our office with a copy
of your tribal ID and an official
tribal-issued letter showing proof of
blood quantum.
Ontario students planning to attend
part-time (less than 12 credits) and
commute to college, will be issued
a new 1-20 form each semester upon
the verification of the payment of
tuition and fees, or after submission
of financial information as outlined
above.
Ontario students are required to
purchase a health and accident
insurance policy unless they are
covered under a policy of their own
or a policy with their parents.

Foreign Students
(Excluding Ontario
Students)
Foreign student applicants must
satisfy entrance requirements com­
parable to those of United States
students. Please refer to the "Fresh­
men" and "Transfer" section of
the catalog. In addition, all foreign
student credentials must be evalu­
ated by the World Education Ser­
vices (WES). Information on WES
is available on-line at www.WES.
org, by phone at 212-966-6311 or by
e-mail at info@wes.org. Foreign ap­
plicants must also provide verifica­
tion of ability to pay, prove English
proficiency, and provide proof of
health and accident insurance prior
to acceptance.
Applicants should not consider
themselves admitted to LSSU until
they have provided all required
documents and have received an
official letter of acceptance. Follow­
ing the letter of acceptance, the 1-20
form is sent, as required by the U.S.
Immigration and Naturalization
Services.
If you are a Permanent Resident or
able to be in the U.S. with another
form of documentation, we will

�need a copy of this documentation
for our records.
If you are a Canadian Aboriginal
or Native American (excluding
METIS) with at least 50% blood
quantum and have J-treaty privi­
leges (carry a tribal ID), you are
exempt from needing an 1-20 form.
You must provide our office with
a copy of your tribal ID and an
official tribal-issued letter showing
proof of blood quantum. Foreign
students are required to purchase
a health and accident insurance
policy for each year in residence.

Verification of Ability
to Pay — Ontario and
Foreign Students
The U.S. Immigration and Natu­
ralization Services (INS) requires
that LSSU have verification of your
ability to pay for tuition/books
and expenses before we can issue a
Certificate of Eligibility for NonImmigrant (F-l) Student Status
(1-20). This form is required for you
to cross the border into the United
States.
An acceptable financial document
must have been submitted not
more than nine (9) months before
the term you intend to enroll at
LSSU. The document also needs to
be current within the last 90 days.
Inclusion of false information in
the financial statements is grounds
for dismissal. Verification may
be documented by the following:
personal savings or verification
of loans or scholarships received,
a parent or sponsor, government
or sponsoring agency, or by LSSU
anticipated support.
As of September 1,2004, the U.S.
Department of Flomeland Security
(DHS) has implemented a rule re­
quiring F-l visa applicants to pay a
one-time fee to supplement the ad­
ministration and maintenance costs
of the Student and Exchange Infor­
mation System (SEVIS). Because we
will be issuing you an initial 1-20
form, you will be required to pay
this SEVIS fee. Information about

payment of the fee and the process­
ing of your 1-20 form upon entry
to the U.S. will be provided to you
with your initial 1-20 form. Because
the DHS is reviewing requirements
at the time this catalog was pub­
lished, please contact the Admis­
sions Office for updates as policies
are revised.

Proof of English
Proficiency
Proof of English proficiency is re­
quired for admission to LSSU as a
foreign student. English proficiency

Part-time Enrollment
You may enroll as a part-time
student and take up to 11 credits
per semester in courses for which
you have sufficient academic
background. United States students
attending part-time who are not
seeking financial aid or a degree or
certificate do not have to formally
apply for admission.
Canadian students wishing to
attend part-time must apply for
admission and be accepted into a
degree program.
As a non-admitted part-time stu­
dent, you are not assigned a faculty
advisor. You are encouraged to seek
assistance in selecting courses from
the appropriate academic depart­
ments.
Current high school students
should refer to the section regard­
ing dual enrollment.

Tech Prep
The national tech prep movement is
supported at LSSU. As a testimony
of its institutional support, grades
earned in applied high school
science and mathematics courses
contribute to the high school GPA
computed for university admission.
Tech prep, with its emphasis upon
curricular integration between
secondary and post-secondary
educational institutions, helps Lake
State create a broader array of edu­
cational options for our students.
Lake Superior State University has
articulation agreements with area
high schools to enhance applied
and career educational opportuni­
ties at the post-secondary level. In
tandem with its regional secondary
education partners, LSSU has cre­
ated pathways to applied education
for specified curricula in busi­
ness and technology. University
course credits count toward degree
requirements for high school work
if certain competencies are met.
Check with your high school guid­
ance counselor or an LSSU admis­
sions advisor to verify whether a
specific course may apply.

�Dual Enrollment for
High School Students
Eligible students are those who are
in grade 11 or 12 who are enrolled in
at least one high school course, and
who have passed these four subject
areas of the MME: mathematics,
science, reading and writing. The
student who did not pass in all areas
is still eligible to take courses only
in the areas in which he/she has
received endorsements.
Both 11th and 12th graders are eli­
gible to take courses in subjects for
which there are no endorsements,
such as philosophy, religion, psy­
chology, sociology, anthropology,
computer science, fine arts, and/or
foreign language courses not offered

by the district, as long as the student
has taken all sections of the MEE
and has met the course's prerequi­
site requirements. State endorse­
ment is not required in any specific
area for this participation. Grade
point average is not a determining
factor in eligibility to enroll.
Registration will be coordinated by
the Admissions Office in conjunc­
tion with the Registrar's Office, once
a student has completed the re­
quired form and has been approved
as a Dual Enrollee. Students may
pick up the Dual Enrollment Form
from their high school guidance of­
fice, or the LSSU Admissions Office.

enrollee does not constitute admis-

2.

The residence of a student
who is a minor follows that of
parents or legal guardians, ex­
cept that a minor student who
comes to the University from
another state or country cannot
be registered as a resident of
this state on the basis of hav­
ing a resident of this state as a
guardian, except on permission
of the University in each indi­
vidual case.

means.

5.

Non-resident students who
enter the state and immediately
begin classes shall be eligible
for reclassification to resident
status after six months, provid­
ed they can provide evidence
of a change in their residency
status. A non-resident student
can show that they qualify for
resident tuition by presenting a
valid State of Michigan drivers
license or presenting a State
of Michigan voter registration
card or proving their motor
vehicle is registered in the state
of Michigan or other acceptable
means.
A Michigan resident absent
from the state for periods of up
to one year shall not forfeit his
or her residence for tuition pur­
poses, provided that he or she
has taken no action to become a
resident of another state.
Initial decisions on classifica­
tion, and requests for reclas­
sification to become a resident
student, will be made by and to
the registrar. Students may ap­
peal these decisions to the Dean
of Enrollment Services.

6.

The residence of a student fol­
lows that of his or her spouse,
except that a student who
initially registers as a resident
student may continue to reg­
ister as a resident of Michigan
although subsequently marry­
ing a non-resident student or

7.

Students on active duty in any
of the armed services and sta­
tioned in the state of Michigan

�Financial Aid
Students are automatically
considered for Board of Trustees
Scholarships upon completing
application to LSSU by March 1st
for the following fall semester.

Rewarding the scholar and meet­
ing the needs of those who apply
for financial assistance is a high
priority at Lake Superior State
University. The doors of opportu­
nity are seldom closed because of a
financial condition.
You may qualify for a combina­
tion of University, state and federal
programs—a financial aid packwhich may include a combi­
ag
nation of scholarship, grant, loan,
and/or work assistance. Full-time
undergraduates take priority in aid
awards.
Carefully consider the full cost of
your education, parental support,
and savings — including sum­
mer employment — to determine
your need for financial aid. If you
possess excellent high school or
community college grades, you are
encouraged to apply for scholar­
ships regardless of need. Those
with need are considered for
grants, loans and/or employment
based on need established from
the Free Application for Federal
Student Aid (FAFSA).
You can obtain information on
all financial aid programs from
the Financial Aid staff. Staff are
available to advise you and your
parents about the costs of attend­
ing the University, availability
of financial aid and application
procedures.
Applying: You can apply for
financial aid by filing a Free Ap­
plication for Federal Student Aid
(FAFSA) on-line at www.fafsa.
ed.gov.
Once your FAFSA is received by
LSSU and your admission is com­
plete, you will receive an "Official
Offer of Award" letter from the
Financial Aid Office.
Scholarship recipients are usu­
ally selected based on competitive
36 • Lake Superior State University

examinations, scholastic records
and/or financial need. The Ameri­
can College Test (ACT) serves as
the University's primary test for
scholarship applicants. Test results
must be on file by March 1.
All freshmen who are Michigan
residents are encouraged to com­
plete the Michigan State Assess­
ment Test to determine eligibility
for additional state aid.
Scholarship requirements: Incom­
ing freshmen must have a mini­
mum GPA of 3.0 and ACT of 19 to
qualify for an LSSU scholarship.
The recipient of any award must
be a full-time student carrying
12 academic hours or more each
semester.

Satisfactory
Academic Progress
Requirements for
the Retention of
Financial Aid
If you are receiving any form offinan­
cial aid, you must meet these satisfac­
tory academic progress requirements to
retain your aid each semester.
Financial aid regulations require
that a student must make satisfac­
tory progress to remain eligible for
financial aid. Financial aid pro­
grams affected by this policy are
Federal Pell Grant, Federal Perkins
Loan, Federal Work-Study, Federal
Supplemental Educational Oppor­
tunity Grant, Federal Direct Loans,
Federal PLUS Loans, State of
Michigan and Institutional Schol­
arships, Grants, Loan and Work
Programs.
The following policy is the mini­
mum requirement for all types of
financial aid; however, there are
some types of aid with more strin­
gent requirements (see scholarship
requirements).

�Qualitative Standards
Every student must maintain a
minumim grade point average
(GPA) of 2.0 each semester to
remain in good academic standing.
Students not meeting the standard
will be placed on academic proba­
tion for one semester. Students may
be granted a second probation­
ary semester, however, students
with 19 credits or more will not
be granted a second probationary
semester if their cumulative GPA is
1.60 or less.
This standard is enforced by the
University's Scholastic Standards
Committee each semester. Students
who do not meet the academic
standard will not be eligible for aid
after their probationary period. To
petition the Scholastic Standards
Committee for readmission, stu­
dents must follow the guidelines
listed at ivzuzv.lssu.edu/advising/
handbook/AAH_6-7-0.php.
Students who are notified by the
Scholastic Standards Committee
about their academic standing
should not assume that finanical
aid will automatically be reinstated
if their petition is granted. Finan­
cial aid requirements are more
stringent in some cases and include
quantitative standards. Quantita­
tive standard appeals must be sent
separately to the Financial Aid
Committee.

mester. The following credits must
be earned in relation to the number
of credits enrolled at the end of the
add period:
If a student does not satisfactorily
meet the quantitative standard,
he/she will be placed on financial
aid probation for the next semester.
Students may receive aid while on
probation but if a student fails to
meet the standard for the second
consecutive semester enrolled, his/
her financial aid will be suspended.
Part-time students enrolled for less
than six credits must earn all credits
attempted.
Once financial aid is suspended,
both the GPA and credit hour
completion criteria must be met in
subsequent semesters of six credits
or more before reinstatement of aid
is possible.
If completion of "I" grades or other
record changes warrant a reinstate­
ment, a written notice from the
Registrar's Office must be pre­
sented to the Financial Aid Office
by the student before eligibility is
reviewed.
Financial Aid Suspension: No aid
will be granted once a student's eligi­
bility is suspended, including but not

Financial Aid Reinstatement:
To remove financial aid suspen­
sion status for qualitative reasons,
a student must have attained the
minimum cumulative grade point
average and credit-earned require­
ments (minimum six credit hours)
at Lake Superior State University,
while not receiving financial aid. In
addition, students who successfully
complete 26 credits at a community
college after being suspended at
LSSU will be allowed one proba­
tionary semester upon readmission.
Successful students must advise the
Financial Aid Office in writing that
they have met the requirements
for reinstatement of the qualitative
standard.
Right to Appeal: A student whose
aid is suspended for quantitative
reasons may request reinstatement
through the Financial Aid Commit­
tee. To obtain reinstatement, the
student must effectively demon­
strate that their poor performance
was due to some unusual circum­
stance. The quantitative appeal
process is outlined at www.lssu.
edu/finaid/appeals.php.
Appeals should be in writing and
be received immediately following
the semester of the suspension.
Scholarships are awarded on aca­
demic excellence and may not be
reinstated by appeal.
150% Completion Rule: To qualify
for federal financial aid, students
must complete a program within
150% of the time frame required
for the program. For example, a
student working on an associate
(two-year) degree must complete
the degree within six semesters of
full-time study.
Students may not "attempt" more
than 150% of the credits required
for the degree. The average
baccaulaureate program requires
124 credits, so the maximum
number of attempted credits is 186.
Appeals to this general rule must
include an advisor's signed copy

If you withdraw or leave LSSU
for any reason, your scholar­
ship automatically terminates.
If you plan to leave for a study
abroad program, internship
or health reasons, you may re­
quest to have your scholarship
reinstated by appealing to the
Financial Aid Committee.

4.

To receive the room and board
component of any scholarship,
you must be in the on-campus
room and board program for
the semester. If you leave oncampus housing, the room and
board award will be termi­
nated. If you return to campus
housing (you must be on the
room and board plan for the
full semester), you can request
reinstatement of the room and
board component prior to the
beginning of the semester you
return.

The University reserves the right to
assign all students within the resi­
dence halls. Housing preferences
are considered according to the
dates of receipt of application and
first room and board payments.
Freshmen are usually accorded pri­
ority in residence hall assignments
and upperclassmen hold priority in
apartment assignments.

Music/Theatre: Lake State Theatre
and Drama Club, Pep Band.

The University recognizes that
exceptions to these policies may
arise. Requests for permission to
live off-campus will be considered
by the Director of Housing and
Residential Life, who shall apply
the following criteria to a request
to live off campus for financial
reasons:

Student Assembly: Activi­
ties Board, The Compass (student
newspaper), Inter-Greek Council,
Judiciary Board, Presidents Coun­
cil, Student Government, WLSO
(student radio station).

Housing
A variety of housing facilities are
available. If you are enrolled at
LSSU for 12 credit hours or more,
there are mandatory policies that
apply.
If you are unmarried and/or a
nonveteran enrolled in 12 hours or
more and are within 27 calendar
months of your high school gradu­
ation, you must reside in a Univer­
sity residence hall.
High school graduation dates are
assumed to be June 1 for this pur­
pose. The exceptions are:
1.

2.

If you live with your parents
within a 60-mile radius or the
three-county (Chippewa, Luce
and Mackinac) service area of
the University. An exception
application is available in the
Housing Office and must be ap­
proved by the Housing director.
If you are exempted in writing
by the Director of Housing and
Residential Life when residence
hall space is filled.

If you have unusual financial
or health problems. Permission
must be granted by the Direc­
tor of Housing and Residential
Life.

"Financial hardship" is a situation
in which the total resources of the
student and family added to the
total financial aid available from
the University does not equal the
dollar amount budgeted by the Fi­
nancial Aid Office as the minimum
required for on-campus residency.
In such a situation, there are two
alternatives: a) withdrawal from
the residence hall or b) withdrawal
from the University. An example is
a student whose financial situation
changed suddenly during the year
(perhaps due to the death of a par­
ent) and who applies for assistance
after the aid program is depleted.

Dining Services
The Quarterdeck Dining Hall
(on the upper level of the Walker
Cisler Center Students and Confer­
ence Center) is an all-you-can-eat

Health Service
Health care services are available
on campus at the LSSU Health
CARE Center. The Health CARE
Center offers a wide range of
services to our students including
treatment of illness, injury, annual
physical examinations, immuniza­
tions, and allergy injections.
The Health CARE Center is staffed
by a certified nurse practitioner,
physician assistant, and a consult­
ing physician. Our providers have

�prescriptive authority to order a
wide range of prescriptions.
Services are available Monday-Friday from 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Hours of
operation are reduced during the
summer semester and University
breaks. Appointments are appreci­
ated but walk-ins are accepted as
time permits. For an appointment,
call 906-635-2110 or on campus, ext.
2110.
The Health CARE Center does bill
and accepts most insurance plans
for services rendered at the the
Health CARE Center. We do ask
that students present an insurance
card at the time of service. (Please
note that any service rendered offcampus is the sole responsibility of the
student or parent.)
Lake Superior State University has
created a student plan for all stu­
dents who maintain three or more
credit hours. This student health
plan covers co-pays, deductibles,
and non-covered services of an
insurance company. Well physicals
and immunizations are excluded
from this plan, but are offered
at a reduced rate to the student.
The student health plan has been
established so students do not have
an out-of-pocket expense. To utilize
the student health plan, services
must be rendered at the Health
CARE Center.
Students who do not have health
insurance should contact the
Health CARE Center to discuss
services available under the LSSU
student health plan and/or plans
that are available for purchase. An
insurance plan is available for the
uninsured student which may be
purchased; this is separate from
the on-campus student health plan.
LSSU does not endorse this plan
but simply makes it available to
the student. Information regarding
this plan is available at the Health
CARE Center or by going on-line
to: www.sas-mn.com.
All students from countries other
thatn the United States and Canada
are required to carry health insur-

ance as a condition of enrollment.
These students must furnish proof
they have purchased an equiva­
lent insurance plan that will cover
their their health care while in the
United States.

Upward Bound
Upward Bound is a federally
funded TRIO program which LSSU
has successfully hosted since 1965.
This is a free college-preparatory
program for low income students
and/or students whose parents do
not have college degrees. The pro­
gram provides academic support,
career exploration and advising,
and cultural growth experiences
designed to enhance educational
success. Upward Bound works
with these students year-round
throughout high school to pre­
pare them to enter and succeed in
post-secondary education. The
programs serves about 70 students
each year from area high schools
within an hour's drive from LSSU's
campus.
Upward Bound hires at least 25
college students each year as tutors
and office workers during the aca­
demic year and for residential jobs
during the summer. The program
is one of the few sites offering paid
summer internships for students in
human services, psychology, sociol­
ogy, teacher education and criminal
justice.

Child Development
Center
The campus Child Development
Center provides full- or part-time
care for children 3 years of age on
the first day of enrollment, com­
pletely toilet-trained. The maxi­
mum age is kindergarden-enrolled
during fall and spring semesters.
We accept children through early
elementary during the summer
session, and if needed, during
school breaks during fall and
spring semesters.
The Center is open fall, spring and
summer semesters, and follows the
university calendar.
Children of LSSU students and em­
ployees are given priority in admis­
sion; however, children from the
community are admitted as space
allows. Children must completely
toilet-trained. The center, licensed
by the State of Michigan, provides
developmentally appropriate ex­
periences for the child and empha­
sizes social, emotional, creative,
physical and cognitive growth.
Each morning and afternoon, under
the guidance of experienced staff,
students enrolled in the early child­
hood education program plan and
supervise large and small group ac­
tivities including art, language arts,
gross motor, fine motor, and out­
door play. A significant portion of
each day is devoted to exploratory
play where children move through
the various learning areas electing
to participate in any one of a wide
variety of activities interacting
with developmentally appropri­
ate learning materials. The Child
Development Center is located at
the southeast end of campus.

Student-Faculty
Relations Committee
(Appeals)
Function. The Student-Faculty
Relations Committee provides a fo­
rum for resolving conflicts between
students and faculty members
which may arise with classroojn or

�course-related activities, policies
or procedures. The committee will
not consider cases involving ADA
compliance or any other matter it
deems inappropriate. This commit­
tee is strictly an informal mediation
body which will forward recom­
mendations for resolution to the
parties involved (with a copy to the
Vice President for Academic Affairs
and Provost).

3.

Membership. The University
president appoints the committee
membership to turn-year terms.
There are four faculty representa­
tives and four student representa­
tives. The chair is chosen by the
committee membership.
Procedures
1.

2.

If a student (or group of
students) wishes to raise an
issue related to a course which
he/she is taking or has taken
(normally within one semester),
the student should attempt to
resolve the issue at the stu­
dent/faculty, department chair
or appropriate dean level. If
the matter cannot be resolved
at the lowest possible levels,
the student may appeal to the
Student-Faculty Relations com­
mittee informing them of the
problem. In exceptional cases,
the student may approach
the Student-Faculty Relations
Committee directly.
To bring an issue before the
Student-Faculty Relations com­
mittee, the student must notify
the Student-Faculty Relations
Committee in writing. This
document must clearly explain
the situation and include the stu­
dent's name, current address, a
message telephone number and
times when the student is avail­
able to meet with the committee.
Supporting documentation may
be included as well. The writ­
ten appeal should be submitted
directly to the committee chair.
The Vice President for Academic
Affairs and Provost's Office will
know the name of the committee
chair.

Once the committee members
have had an opportunity to
review tine student's concern,
they will conduct an informal
fact-finding process. As a part of
the process, the student will be
invited to meet with the com­
mittee for further clarification.
This meeting will be 20 minutes
in length with 10 minutes of
question and answer by the
committee. The other party will
also be invited to meet with the
committee following the same
format. Both parties will then be
asked to meet together with the
committee in an effort to foster
communication, clarification and
resolution. The most desirable
arrangement would be for this
step to occur at one setting. The
committee will strive to be as ex­
peditious as possible. There may
be extenuating circumstances
such as semester break or sum­
mer recess.

4.

If there is no resolution after this
joint meeting of the parties in­
volved, or if the outcome of this
process is not acceptable to the
student or the faculty member,
he/she may appeal to the Vice
President for Academic Affairs
and Provost of the University.

5.

The committee will keep no
permanent records.

tage of our counseling services.

�The International University
College Division
of Lake Superior State University and Sault College
Lake Superior State University,
in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, and
Sault College, in Sault Ste. Marie,
Ontario, are just a 15-minute car
ride apart. In spite of being located
in different countries, our cities
are closer to each other than they
are to municipalities in their home
state or province. So, community
leaders encourage initiatives that
strengthen the ties between us and
take advantage of shared resourc­
es. The belief is we have more to
offer by working together.
Lake Superior State University
and Sault College have enjoyed
a good working relationship for
many years. In 2001, some articu­
lations were revitalized, new ones
were struck and it was decided
to establish the International
University College Division. The
division allows full-time students
in some program areas to be dualenrolled. In computer science/
studies, criminal justice, liberal
studies/teacher education or occu­
pational/physical therapy assistant
and athletic training or exercise
science, agreements have been
signed which encourage students
to take advantage of the diverse
faculty and resources available at
both schools as they pursue their
degrees and/or diplomas.
Getting involved in the Interna­
tional Division is straightforward
— consult with the academic
department, fill in a Dual Enroll­
ment Form and submit it to the
Registrar's Office. As a dual-en­
rolled student, you are permitted
to take one course per semester
at the other school. Through the
extra advising available to you,
you can fit these courses into your
overall academic plan and semes­
ter timetables. You register for all

courses through your home school
registrar and your academic infor­
mation is transferred automatically
at the conclusion of each semester.
As long as you meet the required
academic standards, you will con­
tinue to enjoy these advantages of
attending both schools:
•

the combination of applied,
"hands-on" training and theo­
retical understanding

•

more course choices

•

access to many of the stu­
dent services and academic
resources (e.g. wider selec­
tion of equipment, libraries,
student centers, peer tutoring,
etc.) available at both institu­
tions

•

accessible professors through
small classes, labs and office
hours

•

interaction with fellow stu­
dents from another country
— a good basis for a network
of contacts that can assist you
in your life's work ahead

•

greater employment options
and advancement opportunities

Dual-enrolled students pursuing
the bachelor of science in comput­
er science or computer network­
ing gain these particular benefits:
•

professors with a wide variety
of computer-based qualifica­
tions and areas of expertise

•

exposure to, and opportunity
to work with, more types of
hardware and software than
would be available at either
institution on its own

•

plenty of equipment available
for hands-on experience

Lake Superior State University *73

•

more than 70% of the major
courses with a lab component

•

opportunity to earn worldrecognized CISCO CCNA and
Microsoft MCSE certifications

•

Innovative, relevant programs
which adjust quickly to both
changing technology and em­
ployers7 needs

Note: As of January 2008, anyone
- including American citizens
- entering the United States will be
required to have a current passport or
NEXUS identification card. Therefore,
all dual-enrolled students will need
to carry their passports as they travel
back and forth across the border to
attend classes.
For more specific information
regarding computer-based
degrees and participation in the
International University College
Division, please refer to page 120 of
this catalog.
Dual-enrolled students in the
criminal justice degree programs
benefit from the continuing educa­
tion opportunities developed by
both schools for people currently
working in public safety. LSSU
does this through its academy,
providing MCOLES (Michigan
Commission on Law Enforce­
ment Standards) and Michigan
Firefighter Training Council
certification. Sault College offers
advanced training and certifica­
tion for Ontario Provincial Police
and municipal police officers at its
Law Enforcement Training Centre.

�Degree Requirements
Lake Superior State University
offers bachelor (also called bacca­
laureate) degrees, associate degrees
and certificates, as well as a master
of arts degree in curriculum and
instruction. These degrees are of­
fered in a wide variety of academic
programs. Each academic depart­
ment has a set of specific courses
and other requirements for each
of its degree programs. However,
some requirements are of a general

sidered complete if you earned a
bachelor's degree at any United
States accredited university or an
honors bachelor's degree from an
accredited Canadian university.
If you earned a bachelor's degree
or associate's degree at another
accredited institution and desire
an associate's degree from Lake
Superior State University, you must
complete all requirements of an
approved degree schedule includ­
ing at least 16 additional credits
in courses offered by LSSU. The
degree schedule process is identical
to that described above for an addi­
tional bachelor's degree. The sched­
ule elected shall consist mainly of
major and cognate courses. Courses
considered essential to the degree
but not previously elected may, at
the option of the school and college,
be required even though the total
may exceed 16 credits.

Exceptions to Graduation
Requirements
Exceptions to specific general
education requirements may be
granted only by the Scholastic
Standards Committee. Such
exceptions are infrequently made.
A petition for exceptions to general
education requirements is initiated
with the assistant to the provost for
academic records.
Course substitutions and waivers
of departmental degree program
requirements may be granted only
by the dean of the school or college
offering the program (major or
minor).
Normally, you will graduate under
the program degree requirements
in effect and published in the
Catalog at the time you are admit­
ted into the given degree program,
provided enrollment at the Univer-

Additional Minor
Students who hold a baccalaureate
degree from either LSSU or another
accredited institution may obtain
an approved minor from LSSU.
All but six credits required for the
minor must be LSSU credits.

Failed Classes
If you fail a class required for
your degree program, you must
repeat the class and receive a pass­
ing grade. If the failed class is no
longer offered because of program
changes and/or course deletions,
the dean may approve a substitu­
tion or waiver recommended by
the academic chair. The chair must
provide reasons for the recommen­
dation on the substitution/waiver
form which is sent to the dean's
office.

sity is continuous. If enrollment is
interrupted, or if you select a new
major, you must satisfy program
requirements in effect at the time
you reenter or officially change to
the new major. If program require­
ments are revised during your
enrollment, you will be allowed to
graduate under the new require­
ments providing you can meet such
requirements in their entirety.
The University reserves the right
to change the requirements for
graduation at any time as a means
of keeping pace with educational
developments affecting the vari­
ous curricula. As such changes are
made, they may, at the discretion
of the University, be applied to
students already enrolled. In such
cases, reasonable and prudent effort
will be made to provide the benefit
of the new educational program
without imposing undue hardship.

�Graduation Procedures
Degree candidacy procedure: Two
semesters before students plan to
complete degree requirements and
graduate, they must submit an
appropriate departmental degree
audit for each major and minor,
and a Declaration of Candidacy
for Degree to the assistant to the
provost for Academic Records. The
necessary forms are available at the
student's major departmental office.
The departmental Degree Audit for
a student's major or minor specifies
all required courses that have been
or must be completed. The audit

must be signed by the chair of
the school or department offering
the major or minor program.
Course substitutions and waivers
of departmental degree program
requirements may be granted only
by the chair and approved by the
dean of the school offering the
major or minor program. Course
substitutions and waivers for
education majors or minors must
also have approval from the chair of
the School of Education.
Exceptions to specific general
education requirements may be
granted only by the Scholastic
Standards Committee. Such
exceptions are infrequently made.
A petition for exceptions to general
education requirements is initiated
with the assistant to the provost for
academic records.
The assistant to the provost checks
students' Degree Audits, after which
a preliminary verification of the
Degree Audit is sent to each student
and respective school or department
chair. Students are responsible for
examining this verification and
requesting clarification of anything
that is not consistent with their
records or understanding.
From the Declaration of Candidacy
for Degree forms submitted by
students, a potential graduate
list is created for each semester.
Names for the commencement
program and diploma will be the
official, legal name as listed in
the records of the University. The
names of students who are listed
iii the annual commencement
program are also compiled from
Declaration of Candidacy for Degree
forms. Students may not be listed
in the commencement program
unless their Degree Candidacy
Form is filed with the assistant
to the provost six weeks prior
to commencement. Students are
expected to attend commencement
exercises unless excused by the

78 • Lake Superior State University

�assistant to the provost. Students
completing degree requirements
during the summer may participate
in commencement the previous
semester if their degree candidacy
form is received six weeks prior to
commencement.
After grades are received at the end
of each semester, Degree Audits
will be updated for all students
completing credit and who have
a Degree Candidacy Form on file.
When all requirements specified
on the Degree Audit are fulfilled,
the college dean and/or school
chair and assistant to the provost
give a final approval. Names of
these graduates are then sent to
the president for approval by the
Board of Trustees. Subsequently,
a diploma is provided to each
student.
Diploma charge: There is no
charge for the first diploma from
the University. A fee is charged for
replacement diplomas.
Students completing graduation
requirements in the fall semester
or summer, or who otherwise need
documentation of completion
before their diploma is available,
may request a letter certifying
that they have completed degree
requirements. Additionally, official
University transcripts will be sent to
any employer, graduate university,
or elsewhere, as requested by the
graduate. Official transcripts will
not be mailed to students.
Graduation with honors: Honors
graduates must earn at least 32
credits at Lake Superior State
University.
Students who earn 3.50 to 3.69 will
graduate cum laude; 3.70 to 3.89,
magna cum laude; 3.90 to 4.00,
summa cum laude.
Graduation diplomas with honors
will be awarded to baccalaureate,
associate, and certificate recipients.
Honors medallions will be awarded
to baccalaureate, associate and
certificate recipients who graduate
summa cum laude.

Delinquent Accounts
Students with delinquent accounts
may be removed from class, have
their diploma withheld, and/or
have transcript requests denied.

Honors Degree
The University Honors Program
offers highly motivated students
the opportunity to develop their
abilities and skills in exciting and
innovative ways. The central goal
of the University honors program
is to create a community of scholars
characterized by strong studentfaculty interaction around the world
of ideas. The honors program
fosters an approach to education
that incorporates the qualities of
active participation, intellectual
curiosity and an interdisciplinary
focus.
Selection is based upon a number
of factors, including: ACT scores,
high school grade point average,
application essay, personal interview
and Lake State faculty nomination.
Students invited to participate in the
program enroll in courses designated
for honors credit. The courses are
distributed among the requirements
for general education, the student's
major, and the University honors
program and may include small
seminars or independent research
projects.
To graduate with an honors degree
in a program of study, the honors
student must have formal acceptance
into the University honors program
and have successfully completed 21
honors credit hours with an overall
grade point average of 3.5* or better
at graduation. The 21 honors credit
hours are to be distributed among
the University's requirements for
general education, the student's
major and the University honors
program.
Upon graduation from the honors
program, the student will receive an
honors degree in his/her program
of study. The honors degree
designation is indicated on the
student's diploma and is distinct
from graduating with honors (see
Graduation with Honors).

�Program Description:
The Master of Arts in Curriculum
and Instruction degree program
provides an essential opportunity
for practicing teachers and other
educational professionals in
Northern and Upper Michigan
as well as in Northern Ontario
to enrich their understanding of,
and to improve their skills in,
pedagogy, curriculum design, and
assessment within the context of
their discipline-specific content
knowledge.
The degree provides a framework
for securing a rigorous plan of
study focused on the professional
development needs of practicing
teachers and other educators.
The degree program allows both
elementary and secondary masters
degree candidates the opportunity
to develop a graduate plan of study
that strengthens their professional
practices and address student
learning in their classrooms.
Candidates in this program
complete core requirements aligned
with the professional competencies
of accomplished teachers as
identified by the National
Board for Professional Teaching
Standards (NBPTS), and electives
from the fields of their academic
disciplines and/or educational
foundations. Candidates
demonstrate competencies in
the design, implementation, and
assessment of student learning
through a culminating curricular
project. Graduates may qualify for
an additional endorsement when
the plan of study incorporates
the required coursework of an
approved major/minor.
School of Education advisors will
work closely with each candidate
to develop individualized plans of
study designed to address specific

Master of Arts

professional development needs.
The program requires a total of 36
hours of graduate credit (a limited
number of undergraduate credits
may qualify when part of an
approved plan of study).

Program Description:

Career Description*:

The legal assistant profession is one
of the occupations projected to grow
the fastest through the year 2014

gal) is a valued member of the legal
team and works under the supervi­
sion of attorneys.

ducts research; drafts legal plead­
ings and documents; interviews
clients and witnesses; investigates,
gathers and organizes case infor­
mation; assists at trial.
Corporate Legal Assistant — Drafts
and/or analyzes various legal
documents; attends meetings, nego­
tiations or closings; performs legal
and factual research; monitors com­
pliance with applicable industry
regulations; assists attorneys with
preparation for collective bargain­
ing, contract negotiations, adminis­
trative hearings or trials.
Criminal Law Legal Assistant —
Conducts comprehensive inter­
views of defendants, law enforce­
ment, victims, and/or witnesses;
performs case and field investiga­
tions; locates and coordinates usage

during trial and any appeal.
Governmental Legal Assistant —

�Athletic Training
Program Description:

Career Descriptions:

LSSU's Athletic Training major is
accredited by the Commission on
Accreditation of Athletic Training
Education (CAATE). Upon success­
ful completion of the Athletic Train­
ing Education Program (ATEP) at
LSSU students will be eligible to
sit for their Board of Certification
Exam through the National Athletic
Trainer's Association.

Colleges and Universities — ATCs
in this setting may provide health
care services to student-athletes,
teach in an ATEP or a combination
of these duties.

The ATEP at LSSU is comprised of
two phases, the pre-professional
phase and the professional phase.
The pre-professional phase consists
of the students' first two years in
which the student completes Uni­
versity core curriculum courses and
pre-requisite coursework within the
athletic training curriculum to en­
able the student to become eligible
to apply for admission into the
professional phase of the program.
Students then make a formal ap­
plication to the ATEP.
The number of clinical sites avail­
able to the LSSU ATEP limits the
number of students that can be
admitted to the program on an an­
nual basis. Students accepted into
the professional phase of the ATEP
will take advanced coursework and
engage in supervised clinical ex­
periences at private and university
medical practices as well as LSSU
athletics. Senior ATEP students are
assigned to a staff ATC as they work
with one of the athletic teams, and
conclude their training with a 15week internship selected in consul­
tation with their academic advisor.
A detailed program description,
competitive admission require­
ments and Technical Standards
for Admission are provided in the
Athletic Training Education Pro­
gram Student Manual and on the
Recreation Studies/Exercise Science
Web site.

Professional Sports — In this set­
ting, ATCs provide athletic health
care services for professional
athletes involved with one sports
organization.
Sports Medicine Clinics — This
growing setting provides ATCs the
opportunity to work with a number
of different health care profession­
als and a diverse patient popula­
tion. In addition to athletic injury
rehabilitation, many clinics provide
athletic training services for second­
ary schools.
Secondary Schools — Private
and public secondary schools offer
special job opportunities for ATCs.
Many ATCs teach classes as well as
provide health care services to the
student-athletes.
Other possible athletic training
employment opportunities include:
corporate health programs, health
clubs, clinical and industrial health
care programs and athletic training
education programs

Career Descriptions:

Bachelor of Arts

According to the 2006 National
Occupational Employment and
Wage Estimator, more people
are employed as chemists and
chemical technicians than in
any other job classification in
the life and physical science
occupations (http://stats.bls.gov).
With many free electives and a
common general education core,
a chemistry degree can also be
used in combination with other
majors or minors such as pre-law,
engineering, literature, business,
biology, etc. to match student
interest and career plans.

Chemist — Works in business
and industry, and environmental
and commercial laboratories
conducting basic and applied
chemical analysis, research and
product development.

Pre-Professional

Graduates with a bachelor of arts in
chemistry work in many disciplines
and industries, and many proceed
on to graduate school in natural
sciences, law, engineering and
medicine. Internships in chemistry
are encouraged where students
can gain valuable real-world
work experience while gaining
college credit. In addition,
each student participates in an
applied research project in close
collaboration with faculty members
to address meaningful chemicalbased problems. These projects,
through the excellent preparation
they provide our students, are
often cited as important factors in
successful job searches and entry
into graduate programs.

Lawyer — Applies basic chemical
knowledge to the practice of law
related to scientific and natural
resource issues.

ing in networking hardware
and software, and receive the
necessary concepts of hardware,
software and network operating
systems.
• Students are prepared to take
industry-standard examina­
tions, such as those established
by Cisco, Novell and Microsoft.
• Students can choose software
design, research, or co-opera­
tive education as their senior
capstone experience.

Three-Year Degree
for a BS in CJ
following the
NRT Degree
Bachelor of Science
See Department of
Biology
Students with a particular interest in state and fed­
eral laws enacted to protect our natural resources
and federal restrictions on the use of our renew­
able resources should consider obtaining both an
associate’s degree in natural resources technology
(two years) and a bachelor of science degree in
criminal justice (three additional years). The NRT
degree will provide the student with a good general
background in natural resources and the criminal
justice degree will allow the student to be fully quali­
fied for many different law enforcement opportunities. Jobs for conservation law officers are limited,
but the above configuration of degrees prepares a
student to be highly competitive for openings that
do occur. Students selecting this course of study
should work closely with their advisor in order to
complete both degrees in the five-year span. After
completing the two-year NRT associate’s degree,
students would complete the certification Criminal
Justice Law Enforcement emphasis. This plan
assumes MCOLES certification and 92 additional
hours following the NRT degree.

Student Profile:
Are you...
interested in art?
interested in performing?
interested in people?

The fine arts degree is for students
who have wide-ranging interests
in fine arts, and who wish to
explore and express their potential
through following a personalized
course of study. While students
will invariably participate in a
broad range of courses, they must
select two main areas of focus
(concentrations) from the following
six: graphic design, music, native
arts and culture, theater, visual arts
and writing.
Fine arts have been an important
aspect of the human experience
since first recorded history;
from African cave paintings to
Greek dramas, from Beethoven
symphonies to the writings of
Canadian playwrights. From the
study of fine arts we can gain an
understanding of various cultures
through their own indigenous
means of expression. Furthermore,
we can deepen our understanding
of our own culture by participation
in various contemporary art forms
(drama, music, painting, writing
etc.). Most important, by exploring
our own creative potential, we can
develop a better understanding of
ourselves.

Fine Arts Professional — Prepares
you for working as a managing
director of a department of music,
arts, theater or performance.
Teacher of Fine Arts — Develops
courses, maintains studios and
supplies, teaches in elementary
or secondary education fields or
community theaters.
Arts Entrepreneur — Performs
as a musician; is active in the
performing arts and theater;
and creates and sells crafts and
paintings.
Arts Organization Staff — Plans,
designs and implements programs
and services; assists with
administering programs, cultural
events and art galleries.
Marketing/Design — Works on
publications, displays, annual
exhibitions, educational programs,
craft fairs, galleries, museums and
sales.

Program Description:
This degree is designed to provide
both the necessary certifications to
enter the fire service and also the
general education and background
necessary for advancement to higher
rank and supervisory level.
There are three tracks a student may
pursue to obtain the degree.
Fire Science Generalist Emphasis
— This program is designed to
prepare graduates for careers in the
area of fire protection, education,
fire equipment service/supply and
emergency planning. Students may
select a minor of their choice. For
those who are going to pursue work

in a career fire department, a minor
in paramedic technology is strongly
recommended. Others may select a
minor which is more applicable to
their own career aspirations such as
management, computer technology,
public administration, environmen­
tal science or other area.
Fire Science Hazardous Materials
Emphasis — This program com­
bines a major in fire science with a
minor in chemistry. A graduate with
a degree in this emphasis may work
in the area of environmental
protection and quality, water qual­
ity, hazardous waste disposal, or
hazardous chemical mitigation/
clean-up. Positions are available in
the private and public sectors. In the
case of fire service, graduates may
work as a member or supervisor of a
hazardous materials response team
dealing with an accident or release
of dangerous products. Positions in
emergency planning are also avail­
able. With the continued emphasis
on homeland security and the
threats of a biological or chemical
attack upon a civilian population,
readiness and response are vital to
saving lives.
Fire Science Engineering Emphasis
— The combination of fire science
and engineering courses provides a
graduate with the knowledge neces­
sary to evaluate building plans and
designs from the standpoint of fire
behavior and safety. Tire design of
fire protective systems and alarms
is important to the protection of life
and property. There are also posi­
tions available in firms and govern­
mental organizations wlrich conduct
materials testing and fire behavior
research. Graduates may also wish
to continue their education to obtain
a graduate degree. Professional
qualifications, such as that of Fire
Protection Engineer, or other state/
province designations, may also be
obtained.

Career Descriptions:
Firefighter — Works for fire depart­
ments at the local, state and federal
levels; works for the armed forces
and the U.S. Department of the
Interior; suppresses structural and
other types of fires using a variety of
methods; acts as emergency medical

Bachelor’s Degree

Program Description:

Career Descriptions:

Options:

Geology examines the dynamic
Earth and its physical, chemical
and biologic history. It involves
the study of changes that are tak­
ing and have taken place and the
forces that cause these changes. For
example, geologists interpret the
movements of the continents over
geologic time and the formation
of mountains, volcanoes and other
features of the Earth's surface. Ge­
ologists attempt to understand our
physical environment from which
we derive most of the natural
resources essential to civilization.
They investigate the processes that
led to the formation of mineral de­
posits, and oil, gas and coal. They
also study environmental change
throughout the history of the Earth
and how those changes and the
development of life are related. Ge­
ologists attempt to predict natural
disasters such as earthquakes, vol­
canic eruptions, and landslides, and
they are very active in modeling
groundwater flow to develop water
reserves for municipalities and to
protect groundwater from contami­
nation. Geologists study the natural
world and apply their knowledge
to achieve harmony between the
human race and its environment.

Student Profile:
Do you have...
an interest in the law?
a desire and commitment
to help others?
a good work ethic?
good verbal and written
communication skills?
detail orientation
and good organization skills?
a well-established set of ethics?

diversity, varied challenges, and
employment possibilities are what
makes the legal assistant profession
so interesting and rewarding.
There are four different degrees
or offerings in legal studies.
They are as follows: (1) a fouryear baccalaureate degree in
legal studies with an emphasis
in legal administration, criminal
law, personal injury, labor law,
legislative/constitutional law,
environmental law and policy, legal
technology, or client advocacy or
a selected minor as approved by
the legal studies coordinator; (2) a
two-year associate's degree in legal
studies; (3) a post-baccalaureate
(one-year) certificate in legal
studies (which is available to
students who already have a
bachelor's degree in some other
discipline and wish to make a
career change or advancement);
or (4) a minor in legal studies
which can complement various
majors (and may also be helpful
to students who are planning on
attending law school).

Program Description:

Career Descriptions:

Mathematics:

Operations Research Analyst —
Helps organizations operate as
efficiently as possible through
the application of mathematical
principles to organizational
problems.

Many who major in the field of
mathematics combine those studies
with education courses and obtain
employment as teachers. People
with mathematics degrees are
found in a broad range of occupa­
tions where quantitative skills are
needed; one of the largest employ­
ers of mathematics is the National
Security Agency. Often a minor
field of study (such as computer
science) provides the supporting
credential for entry-level jobs.
Actuarial and Business
Applications:
The actuarial and business applica­
tions option combines mathemati­
cal knowledge with quantitative
business applications. The result
is a very marketable degree that
provides many exciting career
opportunities for graduates. A stu­
dent should be prepared to take the
first actuarial examination in the
spring of his/her junior year and
the second examination the follow­
ing spring. A student choosing this
emphasis will complete a minor in
accounting-finance.
Teaching degrees — A comple­
tion of a fifth-year internship and
graduate course work qualifies
you for elementary or secondary
teacher certification in Michigan
and Ontario, as well as reciprocity
with several other states.
Graduate school — An undergrad­
uate mathematics major with em­
phasis on abstraction, together with
an analytical approach to problem
solving, continues to provide
strong preparation for graduate
work in diverse fields — especially
when combined with a minor in the
related field.

Statistician — Government
agencies such as the Bureau of
Labor employ statisticians to
monitor the consumer price index,
employment statistics and the like.
Industries use statisticians in their
efforts to forecast future needs, to
implement quality control, and
to design information-gathering
strategies.
Research Assistant —
Mathematicians are sometimes
needed as members of a multi­
discipline research team,
responsible for creating a
mathematical model of a realworld process or context, which
then is used to help solve problems
of interest to the team's efforts.
Actuary — Assembles and analyzes
statistics to calculate probabilities
of sickness, death, injury, disability,
retirement, property loss and
unemployment for insurance
companies.
School Administrator or
Counselor — A valid teaching
certificate and teaching experience
are prerequisites. Further course
work and separate certification are
also required.
Educational Consultant or Trainer
— Trains personnel in industry on
new procedures and/or equipment
needed.

Career Descriptions:

Political science is the systematic
study of government, politics and
public policy. It is one of a number
of liberal arts majors that prepare
students for a broad range of career
opportunities.

With the skills they acquire in
writing, speaking, analysis, critical
thinking and leadership, political
science majors are able to pursue
a wide variety of career options
(some of which require additional
education).

Political science majors choose one
of four tracks or concentrations:
general political science, pre-law,
public administration or secondary
teaching. Each concentration
provides a combination of
knowledge and skills especially
appropriate for those with
particular career goals. However,
choosing one concentration over
the others does not limit you to a
particular career path — each of the
tracks provides a solid grounding
in political science and a broad
liberal arts background.
General education requirements
and sufficient elective credits must
be completed so that at least 124
semester credits have been earned.

The general political science concentration is
designed to provide a broad education in political
science. It is most appropriate for students who
plan to attend graduate school in political science
and for those with an interest in government and
politics who wish to get a broad, liberal education.
Students who continue their education in graduate
school most often pursue careers as professors,
researchers, consultants or government officials.
Students who do not pursue graduate study
choose from a wide variety of career options in
government, politics, teaching, journalism and
business.

The pre-law concentration is designed to provide
students interested in legal careers with a planned
curriculum that prepares them especially well for
law school and for careers in law. Students who
choose this option are often interested in careers
as attorneys, prosecutors or judges. It should be
noted that this is not a mandatory pre-law curricu­
lum; it is a curriculum for pre-law students who
have a special interest in government and politics.

The public administration concentration is most
appropriate for students who plan to work in
an administrative capacity in public agencies or
nonprofit organizations with public missions.
Students who choose this option are preparing for
careers of public service. Such careers may be
pursued through positions in government agencies
at the local, state or provincial, and national
levels. Other positions may be found in nonprofit
organizations involved in public concerns, such
as Common Cause, the Environmental Defense
Fund, and the Michigan Health Council. Some of
these careers of public service may be pursued
with only a bachelor’s degree. Others may
require completion of a master’s degree in public
administration or a related field.

�Prelaw
Program Description:
There is essentially a three-step process
in becoming a licensed attorney. First,
an individual must complete an un­
dergraduate degree at a college or uni­
versity. Second, one must then go on
to law school to obtain a juris doctorate
degree. Finally, successful completion
of the state bar exam is required for
licensure. In being admitted into law
school, the two most important factors
that are evaluated by most law schools
are undergraduate grades and Law
School Admission Test (LSAT) scores
— an entrance exam required of nearly
all law schools in the United States and
some in Canada.
The American Bar Association and
most law schools do not recommend
any particular undergraduate major
before going on to law school. Con­
sequently, a student should choose
a major in which he/she has both
interest and aptitude. Yet, there are
important skills, values, and certain
knowledge that can be acquired prior
to law school which will assist a stu­
dent in being successful at law school.
Such values and knowledge include:
analytical and problem-solving skills,
critical reading abilities, writing skills,
oral communication and listening abil­
ities, research skills, task organization
and management skills, ethical values,
and, of course, knowledge of the law.
In fact, a prelaw minor is available at
LSSU which consists of courses that
will assist a prelaw student in further
developing these skills, values and
knowledge.
Since there is no required prelaw
major, the American Bar Association
and law schools strongly recommend
that law school bound students contact
the Prelaw Advisor at their university
as early in the educational process
as possible. At LSSU, our approach
to advising prelaw students is very
individualized. We want to help each
student fulfill their goals and to be suc­
cessful at law school and beyond.
The Prelaw Advisor at LSSU can
provide individualized guidance with
regard to selecting an undergraduate
curriculum (both a major and a minor);
recommending particular courses that

will enhance necessary skills, values
and knowledge; assisting in the law
school admission process; and provid­
ing relevant career and professional
trend information.
Although there is no recommended or
required prelaw curriculum, there are
some excellent options that students
may want to consider at LSSU. The
following LSSU programs include
key components with regard to legal
knowledge as well as writing, analyti­
cal and research skills:
• Business Administration-Legal
Management (major)
• Legal Studies (major)
• Political Science—Prelaw Concen­
tration (major)
• Prelaw (minor)
Students should seek guidance from
LSSU's Prelaw Advisor as early as
possible to ensure they are individu­
ally counseled with regards to their
respective interests, undergraduate
curriculum choice, as well as personal
and professional goals.

Career Description:
Attorney — Quite simply, attor­
neys practice law. What that means
depends upon the legal (or non-legal)
work environment that one ultimately
chooses, along with the area(s) of law
in which one practices. The opportuni­
ties are endless given the various work
environments and the numerous areas
of law in which one can specialize.
For instance, lawyers practice within
private law practices; public interest
groups; governmental agencies (feder­
al, state, tribal or local); courts; business
and industry (e.g., insurance compa­
nies, financial institutions, corpora­
tions, hospitals, public relation firms,
political campaigns, labor unions, and
trade associations); academics (as a law
professor, law librarian or administra­
tor); or in various non-legal careers
such as the media, law enforcement,
business, public relations, foreign
service, or politics. In addition, within
many of these varied work environ­
ments, there are numerous areas of law
in which one may specialize.

Career Descriptions:

Most pharmacy schools require stu­
dents to take two years of pre-phar­
macy preparation prior to being
admitted to their four-year profes­
sional program. Admission into the
professional pharmacy programs is
very competitive and is based, to a
large extent, on grades in specific
required courses. Many pharmacy
colleges also require applicants to
take the Pharmacy College Admis­
sion Test (P.C.A.T.). This exam is
generally taken mid-way through
your second pre-pharmacy year.

Community Pharmacist — Practic­
es in local pharmacies, professional
health centers, hospitals, nursing
homes or neighborhood health
centers.

Pre-pharmacy requirements vary
greatly between different colleges
that offer professional programs in
pharmacy. In general, most require
a pre-pharmacy program that em­
phasizes math and science as well
as strong communication skills.
Recently, a majority of the nation's
schools began to move toward
awarding the doctor of pharmacy
(Pharm.D.) as the only professional
degree in pharmacy. Because many
pharmacy curricula are currently
being modified, pre-pharmacy
requirements are also subject to
change.
The modifications in professional
pharmacy curricula, combined with
the variability in pre-pharmacy
requirements, make it impera­
tive for a pre-pharmacy student
to determine the requirements for
admission at the schools he or she
desires to attend. A pre-pharmacy
curriculum at Lake Superior State
University can then be designed
to help you obtain your goals. It
is your responsibility to contact
the directors of admissions at the
pharmacy schools to which you
are planning to apply so you can re­
main informed of their most recent
requirements for admission.

Government Supervisory Posts
— USPHS, USDA, DVA employ
pharmacists for technical writ­
ing, science reporting, directing
manufacturing firms or overseeing
cultivation of medicinal plants.
Research Pharmacist — Within the
pharmaceutical industry, conduct
research to develop prescription
and non-prescription drugs and
other health products.
University Faculty — Teach
students, conduct research, act as
consultants for local, state, national
and international agencies and
organizations.

Following is an example of typical minimum
requirements for admission to many pharmacy
programs:
Biology (with lab)
1 year
General Chemistry (with lab)
1 year
Organic Chemistry (with lab)
1 year
Physics (with lab)
1 year
Economics
1 course
Calculus

�Sociology
Program Description:
This major prepares you to enter
a variety of fields with a bachelor
degree. It also provides an excellent
foundation from which to continue
educational preparation for a num­
ber of professions.
Many entry-level positions in
private and public sector careers
require the understanding of
organizations and human relations
provided by the Sociology major.
The sociology program emphasizes
research skills, knowledge about
diversity, critical thinking and
writing skills, all of which will
enhance your value to employers.
With assistance from your advisor
and your career goals in mind, you
will select one or two minors. This
combination of broad knowledge
about social organizations from the
Sociology major together with a set
of specific job skills and knowledge
from the minor(s) will give you
a competitive edge in securing
employment and in making career
changes as opportunities present
themselves and the labor market
demands change.
If you are preparing for graduate
studies or professional school,
you will find that the Sociology
major, together with one or
two carefully selected minor(s),
provides competitive preparation
for a number of areas of advanced
study, such as social work,
business, international relations,
survey researcher, public relations,
urban planning and more. If
you are planning to undertake
graduate studies in Sociology,
you are encouraged to take both
a major and a minor in Sociology.
Or, if you are planning to apply to
professional schools, such as law
or medicine, you will find that the
Sociology program, more than any
other major, allows you extensive

time within the four-year program
to take courses strategically
selected to best prepare you for the
desired professional program.

�Spanish
Program Description:
Spanish is spoken by the third largest
group of the world's population today
— 250 million people. The Spanish
B.A. program at LSSU is designed
to give students the opportunity to
acquire Spanish language proficiency
in listening, speaking, reading and
writing. The program will introduce
Spanish majors to prominent histori­
cal, social and artistic developments of
Spanish speaking countries.

Preparation for Graduate School —
Students who earn a B.A. in Span­
ish at LSSU may apply for graduate
school to pursue advanced stud­
ies in Spanish as either a major or
minor.

Students successfully completing their
Spanish major studies will improve
their skills in critical reading, analytic
writing, communication and linguistic
awareness. In addition, they will devel­
op understanding of, and appreciation
for, diversity and cultural difference
through immersion into the history,
culture, and art of Spanish speaking
countries.

International Business, Diplo­
macy and Law — In an increasingly
global society, the ability to speak
both English and Spanish provides
students with marketable skills to
function well in the world of inter­
national trade. Developing Spanish
skills beyond the level of minimal
language requirement classes
greatly increases career opportu­
nities for individuals in the areas
of business, law, technology, and
international relations. The global
expansion of American companies
creates a demand for those who are
able to function and communicate
effectively in international settings.

The program will prepare students
for the communicative and culturally
aware use of the Spanish language in
careers related to international rela­
tions, business, communication and
cultural exchange. Students with a
degree in Spanish will gain market­
able linguistic skills to work in areas of
public service with bilingual or Span­
ish speaking populations in the United
States.

Communication — The process
of learning a foreign language and
understanding its embeddedness
in a rich cultural and social context
of diverse human efforts provides
Spanish majors with a complex and
comprehensive educational experi­
ence. Graduates will find an array of
business related job opportunities in
publishing, editing, the media, the
arts, and communication.

Career Descriptions:
Spanish Teaching and ESL — Af­
ter successful completion of state
requirements and certification,
students with a B.A. in Spanish are
eligible to teach Spanish in elemen­
tary as well as secondary education.
In addition, students may choose
from job opportunities in the wid­
ening field of English as a Second
Language (ESL), teaching English to
students in both the United States
and in Spanish speaking countries.

Travel and Tourism — Mexico is,
and for the past 20 years has been,
the number one foreign destination
for Americans. Consequently, there
is a large demand for bilingual pro­
fessionals in tourism and travel.
Domestic Careers in Public Services
— As the latest USA census data
show, the number of Spanish speak­
ers is on the rise. As a result, there is
a need for college-educated people
able to effectively communicate with
bilingual or Spanish-speaking popu­
lations in various areas of public
service.

Career Descriptions*:

The legal assistant profession is one of
the occupations projected to grow the
fastest through the year 2014 according
to the U.S. Department of Labor. A
legal assistant (or paralegal) is a valued
member of the legal team and works
under the supervision of attorneys.
This program is approved by the Ameri­
can Bar Association and is designed to
train qualified legal assistants capable
of working in a variety of areas of the
law and in a variety of work environ­
ments. Consequently, the role and
job duties of a legal assistant vary
depending on the areas of law and
work environment in which a legal
assistant is employed. Such diversity,
varied challenges, and employment
possibilities are what makes the legal
assistant profession so interesting and
rewarding.
There are four different degrees or
offerings in legal studies. They are as
follows: (1) a four-year baccalaureate
degree in legal studies with an empha­
sis in legal administration, criminal
law, personal injury, labor law, legisla­
tive/constitutional law, environmental
law and policy, legal technology,
or client advocacy or a selected
minor as approved by the legal
studies coordinator; (2) a two-year
associate's degree in legal studies;
(3) a post-baccalaureate (one-year)
certificate in legal studies (which is
available to students who already
have a bachelor's degree in some
other discipline and wish to make a
career change or advancement); or
(4) a minor in legal studies which
can complement various majors
(and may also be helpful to students
who are planning on attending law
school). The requirements for these
programs are based upon the guide­
lines of the National Association of
Legal Assistants.

�Natural Resources Technology
Program Description:

Career Description:

Associate Degree

The natural resources technology
program stresses the acquisition
of field skills necessary for suc­
cess in a natural resources center,
as well as the theoretical founda­
tions for these skills. This practical
knowledge is enriched by course
materials which emphasize com­
munication skills along with the
links between society, economics,
policy and the natural resource
base. This program can be taken
as a stand alone two-year program,
can constitute the first half of the
bachelor of science in parks and
recreation management, or it can be
used in conjunction with a threeyear criminal justice program to
prepare a student for a career in
conservation law.

Natural Resource Technician
— Forestry, wildlife, fisheries and
park technicians are responsible for
data collection and other hands-on
work iii either the public or private
sector.

Career Choices:

All natural resource technology
students are strongly encouraged to
participate in at least one summer
of work or volunteer experience in
the natural resource field to gain
the professional experience and
contacts they will need to begin
their careers.
Continuing education to
bachelor's degree program — The
high degree of competition in
the natural resource field makes
the pursuit of a bachelor's degree
highly desirable. Programs which
join well with the NRT degree
are the parks and recreation
management degree, the fisheries
&amp; wildlife degree and the 2+3
criminal justice degree programs.
These programs lead to careers
such as conservation officer, park
naturalist, expedition leader, guide
or recreation specialist.

improve their lives, work to allevi­
ate human suffering and promote
social justice. In direct service deliv­
ery programs you will be working
with people who are caught in the
grips of social problems and/or
struggling with personal adjustment
issues. This program provides be­
ginning level skills and knowledge
to enable you help people in these
circumstances.
You will learn about the field of
social work, current issues in social
work, introductory level clinical
diagnosis and practice and will
acquire skills in one-on-one counsel­
ing. Behavioral and social science
perspectives on human behavior
as well as basic human biology are
included in this program. An exten­
sive internship experience in one or
more agency settings will provide
you with an opportunity to apply,
in a supervised setting, knowledge
and skills gained in the classroom.
The internship may be completed
in the local area or outside the local
area.
If you are seeking the Associate De­
gree in Social Work you are strongly
encouraged to continue your studies
to complete a Bachelor's degree to
be successful in today's competi­
tive labor market. You may find the
expanded understanding of human
behavior provided by the Sociol­
ogy major or Psychology major
to be particularly useful for work
in social work programs. Both of
these majors also help you develop
critical thinking ability, improve
writing skills and learn about
research through first-hand experi­
ence developing and conducting a
research project. These abilities are
valued by employers in social work
and human service agencies.
Although most students combine
the Associate Degree in Social Work
with a bachelor degree in Psychol­
ogy or Sociology, some choose other

bachelor programs to best prepare
them to achieve their particular
career goals. Advisors will help you
make these decisions.

Tine Native Studies of the Americas minor
is designed to provide valuable historical
and contemporary information about Native
culture and society. The courses in the
Native Studies of the Americas minor reflect
the Native experience throughout North
and South America, but focus on issues of
importance to Native peoples in the Great
Lakes region.
The Native Studies of the Americas minor is
appropriate for students majoring in a wide
variety of subjects who may or may not be
Native themselves, but expect to work in
a Native setting or in an area with a high
Native population. Students who are simply
interested in and wish to explore the Native
cultures in our area will also benefit from
this program.

Ethical Theory and Practice

3
Certain actions seem to be demanded by morality
and certain actions seem to be prohibited by moral­
ity. In addition, there are many actions in which
we have difficulty extending praise or blame. The
study of Ethical Theory constitutes the study of phi­
losophers’ evaluations of behavior, character, and
even the terms of such evaluation (e.g., ‘goodness,’
‘value,’ ‘right,’ and ‘obligation’). This course will
examine the ethical theories of philosophers such
as Plato, Aristotle, Kant, Bentham, and Mill as well

This course examines the rational foundations

we will focus our inquiry on the God of Judaism,
Christianity, and Islam who is thought to possess
the qualities of omniscience, omnipotence, and
beneficence. (We will, however, exposit the
deities Hinduism and Buddhism to put our study
in context.) Can we prove that God exists? What
might we owe God? How can we explain the
existence of evil even though God is thought to
be wholly good? What place does religion have
in a pluralistic society? The history of Western
Philosophy is in large part unified by the common
pursuit of such questions. Not only are the
questions themselves fascinating and perplexing,
but also, they have been answered in inventive
ways by many extraordinary thinkers. The
Philosophy of Religion is, therefore, a continuing
search that has a much to do with human ingenuity
as it does about God. Prerequisite: ENGL111.

Modem and
Contemporary Philosophy

Students will become familiar with the arguments
and ideas that have sought to describe and, in
many cases, to shape the consciousness of the
modem and postmodern epochs. From Descartes
to Kant, modern philosophy experimented with
new ways to understand existence, identity,
causality, and God. From Russell to Williams,
contemporary philosophers grappled with new
ways to understand logic, ethics, gender, and
subjective experience. Students will learn to
make connections between their own ways of
experiencing the world and the sometimes subtle
ways that philosophers since Descartes have
influenced their understanding of their experiences.

�A Look at LSSU
Established in 1946 to address the
needs of returning World War II
veterans and to provide educa­
tional opportunities to the people
of the Eastern Upper Peninsula,
Lake Superior State University still
embodies the essence of the early
days. A personal education in a safe
and friendly environment remains a
hallmark of today's LSSU.
Our beautiful 115-acre campus
overlooks the Michigan and Ontario
twin cities of Sault Ste. Marie, the St.
Mary's River, and the world famous
Soo Locks. The school is located at
the beginning of Interstate 75 which
ends in the Horida Keys.
The campus served as Ft. Brady
starting in 1894 after the fort was
relocated from the banks of the St.
Mary's. The fort was deactivated
in 1944 and, thanks to the efforts

of local volunteers and leadership
at Michigan College of Mining &amp;
Technology in Houghton, opened in
the fall of that year as the Sault Ste.
Marie Residence Center of MCMT.
The Sault Branch was rechristened
Lake Superior State College of
Michigan Technical University
in 1966. Autonomy arrived for
LSSC in 1970. University status
was granted in 1987 to the state's
smallest public institution of higher
learning. Enrollment has grown
from the original class of 272 to
more than 3,400 students.
There are 14 buildings on the Na­
tional Historic Register contributing
to the University's sense of tradi­
tion. This unique architectural blend
is a reminder of the "weapons to
plowshares" history of the setting.

Community: Sault Ste. Marie (pop.
18,000) is one of the oldest cities in
North America, having begun as a
fur trading center in the early 17th
century. A Jesuit mission was estab­
lished here in 1641, and Father Mar­
quette founded the first permanent
settlement 27 years later, within the
boundaries of what was to become
Michigan. The Sault celebrated its
300th birthday in 1968.
Our sister city, Sault Ste. Marie,
Ontario, is a cultural, recreational,
social and entertainment center.
The combined population of the
Twin Saults (98,000) allows for an
international flavor abounding with
the opportunities of a city, and the
safety and comfort of a small town.

�Expectations
for Student Learning
Lake Superior State Univer­
sity utilizes a Student Academic
Achievement Plan developed by the
faculty to enhance continuous qual­
ity improvement and to meet the
Assessment Initiative of the Higher
Learning Commission of the North
Central Association of Colleges and
Schools. The intent of this plan is to
document student learning at Lake
Superior State University both in
the major program and across the
general education requirements.
This continuous evaluation process
works to assure high quality teach­
ing and effective student learn­
ing. The faculty at Lake Superior
State University have collectively
agreed upon the characteristics of
the educated person the institution
hopes to graduate and have identi­
fied outcomes that can be used to
document these attributes. The
following are areas that the faculty
have deemed essential to a liberal
education and have value for the
students in their lives as responsible
citizens: communication skills,
mathematics, computer literacy,
critical thinking, ethics, aesthetics,
cultural diversity, and science and
technology. Students who complete
the general education courses at
Lake Superior State University will
be able to demonstrate attributes of
the general education outcomes.
Students attending Lake Superior
State University can expect commit­
ment by the University to docu­
ment and enhance student learning.
Through the assessment process, the
University demonstrates its commit­
ment to improving student learning
and ensures that when students
graduate they have attained specific
attributes and abilities.
Lake Superior State University
expects a commitment on the part of
its students to actively participate in
the learning process.

�Please familiarize yourself with the
academic policies described in this
catalog. They will help you obtain
your educational objectives. Fac­
ulty advisors, staff and administive
personnel will also help you negoti­
ate your way through these policies
— seek their advice whenever you
have questions!

The Academic Year
Lake Superior State University op­
erates on a semester system. There
are two regular 14-week semesters
(fall and spring) which begin in
August or September and end in
April or May. The summer semes­
ter consists of classes offered in two
six-week sessions, or one 12-week
session. Starting and ending dates
are listed in the Academic Calendar
in the back of this catalog.

Academic Credit
One credit is equal to 14 hours of
classroom instruction in lecture/
recitation courses. For example, a
three-credit course might be sched­
uled 9-9:50 a.m. Monday, Wednes­
day and Friday for 14 weeks plus
one week for exams. Laboratory
classes, field work or other non-lec­
ture classes meet for more than one
hour a week per credit.

mine which major department you
are in and the academic advisor as­
signed to you. Please get to know
your advisor well and meet with
him/her often to get help in class
selection, degree progress and ca­
reer advice. You may change your
major curriculum by processing a
Curriculum Change Card through
the Registrar's Office. The Regis­
trar's Office, Counseling Center
and departmental offices have the
card and instructions. Curriculum
change cards must be filed with the
Registrar's Office for each curricu­
lum change.
If you are unsure of your major,
you will be assigned to the Liberal
Arts major and the advisor as­
signed to you will be a Learning
Center member.
If you are provisionally admitted to
Lake Superior State University, an
academic advisor from the Coun­
seling Center is assigned. You will
keep this advisor until your admis­
sion status changes and you are
admitted to your full-time major
program.

You should expect to spend two
hours of study or class preparation
for each hour spent in class.
The average credit-hour load for
full-time students is 16 credits. A
minimum of 124 credits is required
for all baccalaureate degrees; a
minimum of 62 hours is required
for an associate's degree.

Three weeks before scheduling,
course schedules listing times,
dates and locations will be avail­
able online at: http://www.lssu.
edu/scheduling, and on Web for
students at: https: //web4students.
Review the class offerings, read the
instructions for scheduling, and
meet with your advisor to select
courses for the next semester.
You must sign up for classes for the
semester in which you will be doing
the actual work.
Please review all the scheduling
information carefully as it has dates
for scheduling according to class
level, dates for tuition payments,
and information regarding pre­
requisites, corequisites and other
course requirements.
It is your responsibility to ensure
that the classes you take count
toward your degree program.
You may, however, be required
to take remedial courses (course
numbers beginning with "0", such
as MA081), which will not count
toward graduation.
Test Scores: When you apply for
admission, you will send your ACT
score to Lake Superior State Univer­
sity. Your score determines the level
of English, math and reading classes
into which you will be placed. If
you have been out of high school
more than 26 months and have not
taken the ACT, you can take place­
ment tests at the Testing/Counsel­
ing Center at Lake State to deter­
mine your placement in English,
math and reading.
Maximum credit load: You may
carry up to 20 credits per semester.
You may take more credits if you
have a 3.00 GPA or higher and have
written approval from the associate
provost. Students on academic pro­
bation should not take more than 15
credits.
10 • Lake Superior State University

Prerequisites: Many courses require
that you complete English, math,
reading or other preliminary classes
before signing up to take these
courses. If you have not met the
prerequisite, you not be allowed to
sign up for the class. If yor regis­
tered into a course, and later found
not to have the necessary prereq­
uisite, the instructor may drop you
from the class with an N grade.
Some courses require that you earn
a C or better in prerequisite courses
before scheduling for the next
course. Exceptions may be made
only by the dean of your college
or the instructor of the subsequent
class.
Repeats: You may repeat a class in
which you earn a grade other than
"VI" or "N" only twice without special
permission and only under thefollow­
ing conditions:
1.

Courses transferred from other
institutions are included in this
policy.

2.

Both the original and repeat
grades will show on the tran­
script, but hours earned toward
graduation will only count once.

3.

For the purpose of calculating
the cumulative grade point
average, only the grade of the
last attempt will be used, if the
last class was taken at LSSU. If
you transfer in a class to repeat
a class from LSSU, the LSSU
grade will be removed from
your grade point average.

4.

To repeat a course more than
twice, the student must attain
the permission of the course
instructor and the associate
provost. Permission is granted
only under exceptional circum­
stances.

This policy began fall 2001 for all
new students either as transfer or
new freshman. When repeating
a course, you should check the R
(repeat) column of the Course Reg­
istration Form.
Failed Classes: If you fail a class
required for your degree program,
you must repeat the class and re-

�ceive a passing grade. If the failed
class is no longer offered because
of program changes and/or course
deletions, the academic chair can
substitute a similar class.
Drop/add period: You may change
your class schedule during the first
six (6) days of each 14-week semes­
ter. Courses you drop during the
drop/add period will not appear on
your permanent record. You must
get an instructor's permission to
schedule a course that is full or to
waive a prerequisite requirement.
Your add or withdrawal from a
course is not officially complete until
the appropriate form is completed
and submitted to the Student Service
Center. It's a good idea to retain the
official receipt upon completion of
any add or drop.
Late adds: If you wish to add a class
after the six-day drop/add period,
you must first get a Schedule Ad­
justment Form from the Registrar's
Office, and then get the instructor's
signature. Return your Schedule
Adjustment Form to the Student
Service Center.
Non-attendance of the first class:
Your instructor may drop you from
a course if you do not attend or if
you do not call the instructor before
classes begin. The course instructor
will fill out a drop form and notify
you if you are dropped from the
course.
Dropping after the add/delete
period: You may drop a course
during the first 40 days of a full
semester (the last day to drop a
class listed online at: http://www.
lssu.edu/scheduling). Your record
will show an "N" grade and your
GPA will not be affected.
To drop a class after the eight-week
drop requires extenuating circum­
stances, and you must obtain a
Withdrawal Form. You must:
1.

Complete the form (including
listing a reason for the drop).

2.

Get the instructor's signature
and the instructor's recommen­
dation.

3.

Take the completed form to the
associate provost (of the class
being dropped), for his review
and decision.

4.

If the associate provost ap­
proves the drop, the student
must then take the form back to
the Student Service Center for
processing.

A W grade will appear on your per­
manent record and will not affect
your GPA.
Class attendance: Regular class
attendance and active participation
in classes are important elements
in the learning process. You are
at the University primarily for the
sake of intellectual growth and
development. Attendance and
participation provide appropriate
opportunities for the evaluation of
your progress.
You are personally responsible for
the satisfactory completion of the
course work prescribed by your in­
structors. This means that you are
expected to attend classes regularly,
and that you are responsible for the
work assigned in class, the material
covered in class, and for participa­
tion in class activities (including
discussion and listening) designed
by the instructor as part of the
learning experience. However,
mere physical attendance should
not be a criterion for evaluation of
your performance.
Participation in an official Univer­
sity function is an excused absence
when approved by the provost.
You will not be penalized for such
participation. You are responsible
for work missed and must confer
with your instructor on this matter.
Complete withdrawal: If you are
a full-time student and drop all of
your classes during the first eight
weeks of the semester, you may
be eligible for tuition refund. To
receive any refund, fill out a With­
drawal Form at the Student Service
Center. This office will authorize
your refund from the Business Of­
fice. (Please check online for the
refund policy.)

Before leaving, be sure you have
cleared any holds on your records

have transcripts of your academic
records sent out.

Grading System
Grade Point Average (GPA): To
calculate your GPA for a semester,
divide the total points earned by
the total credits carried. Credits
carried include those earned or
failed but not those classes taken
for credit/no credit. Cumulative
GPA is calculated by dividing total
points earned by the number of
credits carried in all semesters. If
you repeat a course, count only the
credits carried and the points of the
last grade earned. Just the grade
of your last attempt is calculated in
your GPA.
A cumulative GPA of 2.00 for all
credits is required for graduation.
Further, a 2.00 cumulative grade
point average for all credits in ma­
jor and minor(s) is required. Some
programs require a higher GPA in
the major curriculum.
Incomplete grades (I): An incom­
plete "I" grade can be issued in the
case of extenuating circumstances
beyond the control of the student
that prevent completion of course
requirements. Examples of extenu­
ating circumstances may include
health issues, death of a parent/
spouse/child, or military service.
Appropriate documentation is re­
quired. An "I" grade can be issued
in a course, that by design, cannot
be completed in one semester. You
must make up the work by the date
specified by the instructor. If a date
is not given, the student will have a
maximum of two semesters (ex­
cluding summer semesters) to com­
plete the requirements for remov­
ing the "I" grades. Two semesters
after the issuance of the "I" grade,
if the professor has not completed
a Grade Change Form or requested
an extension, the Registrar's Office
will change the "I" grade to an "F"
grade.

Credit/No Credit
Courses
You may enroll in some courses on
a credit/no credit basis if you are in
good academic standing. The fol­
lowing conditions exist:
1.

One course per semester may be
taken as credit/no credit.

2.

Only 12 credits of courses taken
as credit/no credit may be ap­
plied toward a degree.

4.

Courses that are required by
your major, minor, or that are
general education courses,
can not be taken for credit/no
credit.
You apply at the Registrar's
Office to enroll for a credit/no
credit course during the drop/
add period; cannot change to
regular grades after the drop/
add period ends.

5.

You maintain a 2.00 C aver­
age in a course to receive a CR
grade.

6.

Instructors are not notified
that you are taking a course as
credit/no credit; the CR or NCR
credit is assigned based on the
grade your instructor submits.

Certain courses are always offered
with a credit/no credit format.
These courses have this information
in the official course description
and course syllabi. The policy and
limitations outlined above do not
apply to these courses.

Cheating and
Plagiarism:
The assumption of the academic
contract is that the student does his
or her own work: any breach of
the contract is considered cheating.
The faculty member who detects a
student cheating may take appro­
priate action, such as assigning a
failing grade for the entire course.
A student who cheats is subject to
dismissal from the University. If, in
the opinion of the faculty member
involved, such action is warranted,
he or she will notify the chairman
of the Scholastic Standards Com­
mittee and the student in writing.
The Scholastic Standards Commit­
tee will then conduct a hearing in
such a manner that the student is
given due process. If the committee
decides that dismissal is warranted,
the student shall have five school
days to appeal that decision to the
provost of the University.

Credit by
Examination
There are three examination pro­
cesses you can take to earn credit
for individual courses or general
education requirements. They
include:
1.

Advanced placement

2.

CLEP examinations — Inquire
at the Student Services Center,

Lake Superior State University *13

Counseling Center or with the
assistant to the provost for aca­
demic records for information
on the CLEP examinations.
3.

Departmental examinations
— Inquire with the academic
department whether an exami­
nation is available.

You must be admitted to a degree
program and in attendance at Lake
Superior State University to receive
credit by examination. An exami­
nation grade of 2.00 is required to
earn credit. There is a fee required
for both CLEP examination and
departmental examinations. The
credits earned by examination
appear as transfer credits on your
transcript. Some universities may
not accept this type of credit for
transfer.

Auditing a Class
Audits are designed for someone
who wishes to take aparticular
course for its content but not be
graded for the course. An LSSU
student may register for any
course on an audit basis pro­
vided all prerequisites have been
satisfied.
The coursework for auditing a
course is determined in conjunc­
tion with the faculty member for
the course.
Auditing courses does not count
as part of a student's official class
load for determining financial aid
eligibility, veteran's benefits or
any other enrollment certification
requirements.
Students may change from an au­
dit to credit status during the first
week of classes and only with the
concurrence of the faculty member
for the course. This change must
be processed through the Regis­
trar's Office for grading purposes.

Transcripts

The Privacy Act
Section 438 of the General Educa­
tion Provisions Act, as amended,
sets forth the requirements to be
met by an educational institution
to protect the privacy of students.
This act is called the Family Edu­
cational Rights and Privacy Act

erns access to student educational
records and the release of such
records. The Act also requires that
institutions of higher education
must provide students access to
official records directly related to
the student and an opportunity for
a hearing to challenge such records
on the grounds that they are inac­
curate, misleading or inappropri­
ate. Educational institutions must
also obtain written consent before
releasing personally identifiable
data about students from records to
other than a specified list of excep­
tions. In addition, students must be
notified of these rights.
In accordance with provisions
of the Act and the regulations
enacted by the Department of
Health, Education and Welfare,

Section 6. Copies of Records: Fees
for Copies
Copies of educational records will
be provided under the Act under
the following conditions:
1.

where failure to provide a copy
would effectively prevent a
student from exercising the
right to inspect and review the
educational record. (Examples
of when this provision would
be effective would be absence
from the state or a confining ill­
ness.) If the student will return
to the residence occupied while
attending the University or be
within 30 miles of campus and
is not physically incapacitated
during the 45-day compliance
period, copies shall not be pro­
vided but the right of inspec­
tion may be exercised.
Under this provision, a written
request is required (see Section
10A) specifying the record to be
disclosed and the reason that
a personal inspection of the

�record cannot be made during
the 45-day compliance period.
Requests are reviewed on a
case-by-case basis to determine
if copies are required as op­
posed to personal inspection.

a fee for copies of records pro­
vided under the Act. There is

�Equal Opportunity
Notice of Lake Superior State Univer­
sity's policy of compliance with federal
and state law

Policy
The University is an equal oppor­
tunity employer and educator and
prohibits discrimination, including
harassment, on the basis of race,
color, national origin or ancestry,
gender, age, disability, religion,
height, weight, sexual preference,
marital status, or veteran status.
In carrying out this policy, the
University complies with all federal
and state laws and regulations pro­
hibiting discrimination including:
Executive Order 11246, the ElliottLarsen Civil Rights Act of 1976,
Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of
1964, The Equal Pay Act of 1963,
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of
1964, as amended by the Equal Em­
ployment Opportunity Act of 1972,
and the Pregnancy Discrimination
Act of 1978, Title IX of the Educa­
tion Amendments of 1972, Titles VII
and VIII of the Public Health Ser­
vice Act, Age Discrimination in Em­
ployment Act of 1967, Sections 503
and 504 of the Rehabilitation Act
of 1973, Veteran's Assistance Act of
1972, and Title II of the Americans
with Disabilities Act of 1990.

Sexual Harassment
The University is committed to a
policy of nondiscrimination on the
basis of gender. Discrimination
because of gender includes sexual
harassment, which means unwel­
come sexual advances, requests for
sexual favors, and other verbal or
physical conduct or communication
of a sexual nature when:
i.

Submission to such conduct or
communication is made a term
or condition either explicitly
or implicitly to obtain employ­
ment, public accommodations
or public services, education, or
housing;

instances of discrimination and
discriminatory harassment.
Once the University has been
informed of such behavior, it
will take timely and appropri­
ate steps to investigate the
problem. At any step of the
grievance process, time sched­
ules as outlined in the process
may be extended by mutual
agreement in writing.

ii. Submission to or rejection of
such conduct or communica­
tion by an individual is used as
a factor in decisions affecting
such individual's employment,
public accommodations or
public services, education, or
housing; or
iii. Such conduct or communica­
tion has the purpose or effect of
substantially interfering with
an individual's employment,
public accommodations or
public services, education, or
housing environment.
The University is committed to the
protection of the rights of all indi­
viduals and to the elimination of
barriers that would prevent indi­
viduals from realizing their high­
est potential of human excellence.
Sexual harassment is a particularly
noxious form of discrimination that
interferes with these goals and com­
mitments, and is difficult to combat
due to the intimidation and destruc­
tion of self esteem of its victims.

2.

With the Grievance Officer, in­
dividuals may discuss concerns
they may have regarding pos­
sible discrimination or harass­
ment to learn what options are
available.

3.

Nonretaliation: The University
not only prohibits discrimina­
tion, including harassment,
but also strictly prohibits any
retaliation against any indi­
vidual, who, in good faith, has
registered a complaint under
this procedure. Any supervi­
sor, agent, or employee of the
University who, after investi­
gation, has been determined
to have retaliated against any
individual for using the com­
plaint procedure in this policy,
will be subject to appropriate
discipline up to and includ­
ing immediate discharge. If
an individual believes he or
she has been retaliated against
for exercising his or her rights
under this policy, the individ­
ual should use this complaint
procedure.

4.

All matters discussed in this
process will be kept as confi­
dential as possible.

5.

If an individual is dissatisfied
with the University's investiga­
tion process or resolution, he
or she may file complaints of
illegal discrimination on the
basis of gender (Title IX and
Title VI) or disability (Section
504 and Title II of the ADA)
with the Office for Civil Rights,
U.S. Department of Education,
Chicago, IL 60605. A Title IX,
Title VI, Section 504, or Title II
ADA complaint must be filed

Grievance Officer
The Equal Employment Opportu­
nity Officer/Affirmative Action Of­
ficer (EEO Officer) is the designated
grievance officer for discrimination
complaints. If any person believes
that he or she has been subjected to
discrimination, including harass­
ment by unlawful and unacceptable
expressions, acts, attitudes and/or
behaviors based on race, color,
national origin or ancestry, gender,
age, disability, religion, height,
weight, sexual preference, marital
status, or veteran status, he or she
should contact Ms. Beverly White,
EEO Officer, Lake Superior State
University Administration Build­
ing, Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan

(60) working days of the action of
which the person complains.

Process
1.

The University encourages all
individuals to promptly report

20 • Lake Superior State University

�in writing with the Office for
Civil Rights no later than 180
days after the occurrence of
the possible discrimination.
6.

Individuals have the right
under the law to seek remedies
from the Michigan Depart­
ment of Civil Rights, the Equal
Employment Opportunity
Commission, the Office for
Civil Rights, U.S. Department
of Education or by court action
at the same time a grievance
is filed under the University's
procedure, during or after the
use of the grievance process,
or without using the grievance
process at all.

STEP 1:
Informal Complaint
Any individual (complainant) with
a discrimination or harassment
complaint, may contact the Griev­
ance Officer in person.
The Grievance Officer will speak
with the complainant and try to
resolve the matter on an informal
basis. At Step 1, all information
will be kept confidential to the
extent possible.

STEP 2:
Formal Complaint
If the problem cannot be resolved
at Step 1 within five (5) working
days from the date of first contact
with the Grievance Officer, the
complainant may submit a written
complaint on a form provided by
the Grievance Officer. The Griev­
ance Officer will help the com­
plainant complete the form if the
complainant requests.
Within five (5) working days of the
receipt of the written complaint,
the Grievance Officer will send a
Notice of Complaint, a copy of the
complaint form, a response form
and a copy of this procedure to the
respondent. The respondent will
submit the completed response
form within five (5) working days
from the date the complaint is
received by the respondent.
The Grievance Officer will conduct
an investigation. The investigation

should be completed within twenty
(20) working days after receipt
of the response. If the complaint
is against the University as the
Employer, the Grievance Officer
will have thirty (30) days from the
receipt of the written complaint to
investigate the matter.
Within ten (10) working days of
completion of the investigation, the
Grievance Officer will issue to the
complainant and to the respondent
a written Determination stating
whether the allegations of the com­
plaint are true and any remedial
action recommended.
At Step 2, information will be kept
confidential to the extent possible.

STEP 3:
Hearing
If either the complainant or the
respondent is dissatisfied with the
Grievance Officer's determination,
he or she may request that the mat­
ter be referred to a Hearing Panel
for a hearing by submitting the
form obtained from the Grievance
Officer. The request for hearing
must be submitted in writing to the
Grievance Officer within five (5)
working days after receipt of the
Determination.
The President will appoint a per­
manent Hearing Panel composed
of three members including, if
possible, at least one female and
one minority member. The vice
president for business and financial
operations will be the chairperson
and will conduct the hearing.
The Grievance Officer will send
a Notice of Hearing and a copy
of the Request for Hearing to the
complainant, respondent (if any),
and Hearing Panel, scheduling the
hearing within fifteen (15) working
days, unless the Panel Chairperson
provides otherwise and so notifies
those involved.
At the hearing, the complainant
and respondent will be allowed to
give their own testimony, present
the testimony of witnesses, docu­
mentary evidence or other evidence
relevant to the proceedings and
cross-examine the other party's
witnesses. The complainant and
Lake Superior State University *21

respondent may have an attor­
ney or other advisor present. The
Grievance Officer will present the
findings of the investigation con­
ducted at Step 2 and may present
witnesses, if appropriate. To ensure
the privacy of those involved, wit­
nesses (other than the complainant
and respondent) will be allowed in
the hearing room only during their
testimony. At the Chairperson's
discretion, the hearing may be
recorded.
Within fifteen (15) working days
after completion of the hearing, the
Chairperson will issue the Deci­
sion and recommended order of
the Hearing Panel. The Decision
will be mailed to the complainant
and respondent with a copy to the
Grievance Officer. The Chairperson
will implement any action recom­
mended by the Panel.

STEP 4:
Appeal
The decision of the Hearing Panel
will be final and binding. If grievants wish to pursue the matter fur­
ther, they may file with the outside
agencies listed in Policy section,
No. 5. and 6.
Section 5.02 of the by-laws of the
Board of Trustees, approved July
24,1989, will not be invoked for
grievances submitted for settlement
under this procedure.

�Admissions
Freshmen
You may apply to Lake Superior
State University any time during
your filial year of high school. Ap­
plications are processed continu­
ously and you will be notified of
a decision within two weeks. To
complete your admission file you

must submit a final high school
transcript and ACT scores (if you
graduated from high school within
26 months of entering LSSU). Final
high school transcript must verify
graduation from an accredited
school or passing on the GED. To
be considered official, all tran­
scripts must be mailed from your

high school guidance office directly
to Lake Superior State University.
LSSU assigns each student an
individual student identification
number. Your student number
will be provided to you after your
application is complete. While we
do not use social security numbers
as your student identification, we
do use it to match your application
record with your other permanent
records. Financial aid applications
will not be processed without your
social security number. Social se­
curity numbers should be included
on your application for admission.
Canadian applicants should not use
their social insurance number. An
alternative number will be assigned
to Canadian and other foreign
students.
The primary factors in determin­
ing admission are ACT* scores and
grade point average. LSSU uses an
overall grade point average (GPA).
The average overall GPA for the
2003 freshman class was 3.00 on
a scale of a 4.0. The average ACT
composite score was a 21.
Students whose ACT or GPA levels
approach but do not meet LSSU
standards may be admitted via
the University Studies program.
University Studies is dedicated to
providing an educational opportu­
nity to students who meet certain
profiles. Students who are admitted
via University Studies receive addi­
tional advising and support services
to ensure their success at LSSU.
If you are admitted via University
Studies, you will be fully entered
into your chosen major after meet­
ing these three simple require­
ments:
*
*

earn a 2.00 GPA, and

*

22 • Lake Superior State University

earn 12 credits at the 100 level
or above,

be eligible for 100-level math,
reading and composition
courses.

�Students denied regular admis­
sion may reapply after attending
another accredited college and
earning at least 19 semester (29
quarter) hours of transferable
credit. Evaluation for admission
is then based upon the college
record.
*Although LSSU prefers you take the
ACT, we will accept equivalent SAT
scores to determine admission.

ACT
The ACT is offered nationally five
times a year at many locations in­
cluding our campus. Registration
forms are available in high school

Tech Prep
The national tech prep movement
is supported at LSSU. As a testi­
mony of its institutional support,
grades earned in applied high
school science and mathemat­
ics courses contribute to the high
school GPA computed for univer­
sity admission. Tech prep, with its
emphasis upon curricular integra­
tion between secondary and post­
secondary educational institutions,
helps Lake State create a broader
array of educational options for
our students.

Dual Enrollment for
High School Students
Knowing that some talented high
school students will benefit from
taking university courses while in
high school, qualified students are
challenged to take coursework at
LSSU. Before you register for any
class, be sure you meet the follow­
ing criteria:
•

complete the Dual Enrollment
Form (available at the LSSU
Center for Career and Employ­
ment Services or your high
school guidance office),

•

be at least a high school junior,

•

enroll in 100- or 200-level
courses;

•

300-400 courses are available
with department approval; and

•

be sure to take any required
placement tests or prerequisite
courses. (A prerequisite is a
course that must be completed
before the other course can be
taken.)

Lake Superior State University has
articulation agreements with area
high schools to enhance applied
and career educational opportuni­
ties at the post-secondary level. In
tandem with its regional secondary
education partners, LSSU has cre­
ated pathways to applied education
for specified curricula in busi­
ness and technology. University
course credits count toward degree
requirements for high school work
if certain competencies are met.
Check with your high school guid­
ance counselor or an LSSU admis­
sions advisor to verify whether a
specific course may apply.

If there is still a credit on your
account, the amount of the
credit will then be applied to
the remaining financial aid
funds until the credit has been
reduced to zero.

•

Any remaining refund due you,
after all funding sources have
received the appropriate credit,
will be refunded directly to you.

There may be an administrative fee
for early withdrawal.
For example: If there are 105 days
in the semester and you withdraw
on the 58th day, your federal aid
would be reduced to 55% (58/105).
If your total cost to attend was
$2200 and it was paid with federal
aid of $1200 and a personal pay­
ment of $1000, your federal aid
would be reduced to $660. You
could owe the University $540.
Attendance Policy for federal
financial aid recipients: Regular
class attendance is required for
students receiving federal financial
aid. If you are reported for nonattendance in any or all of your

�courses, your financial aid may be
withdrawn.
Leaving school: For information
about leaving the University see
Withdrawal. Non-attendance of
classes or checking out of cam­
pus housing does not constitute
withdrawal, nor does academic
dismissal. Students who leave
but do not withdraw are respon­
sible for full tuition and fees and
will receive failing grades on their
transcript unless an official With­
drawal Request Form is filed with
the Registrar's Office.

�Financial Aid
Students are automatically
considered for Board of Trustees
Scholarships upon completing
application to LSSU by April 1st for
the following fall semester.

Rewarding the scholar and meeting
the needs of those who apply for
financial assistance is a high prior­
ity at Lake Superior State Univer­
sity. The doors of opportunity are
seldom closed because of a financial
condition.
You may qualify for a combina­
tion of University, state and federal
programs—a financial aid pack­
age— which may include a combi­
nation of scholarship, grant, loan,
and/or work assistance. Full-time
undergraduates take priority in aid
awards.
Carefully consider the full cost of
your education, parental support,
and savings — including summer
employment — to determine your
need for financial aid. If you possess
excellent high school or community
college grades, you are encouraged
to apply for scholarships regard­
less of need. Those with need are
considered for grants, loans and/or
employment based on need estab­
lished from the Free Application for
Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
You can obtain information on all
financial aid programs from the
Financial Aid staff. Staff are avail­
able to advise you and your parents
about the costs of attending the
University, availability of financial
aid and application procedures.
Applying: You can apply for finan­
cial aid by obtaining a FAFSA form
from your high school counselor or
contacting the Financial Aid Office,
Lake Superior State University, 650
W. Easterday Ave., Sault Ste. Marie,
MI 49783. You may also file your
FAFSA on-line at www.fafsa.ed.gov.
Once your FAFSA is received by
LSSU and your admission is com­
plete, you will receive an "Official
Offer of Award" letter from the
Financial Aid Office.
Scholarship requirements: Incom­
ing freshmen must have a minimum
32 • Lake Superior State University

GPA of 3.0 and ACT of 19 to qualify
for an LSSU scholarship. The recipi­
ent of any award must be a full-time
student carrying 12 academic hours
or more each semester (except re­
gional center recipients).
Scholarship recipients are usually
selected based on competitive exam­
inations, scholastic records and/or
financial need. The American Col­
lege Test serves as the University's
primary test for scholarship appli­
cants. Test results must be on file by
April 1.
All freshmen who are Michigan
residents are encouraged to com­
plete the Michigan Educational
Assessment Program (MEAP) test to
determine eligibility for additional
state aid.
You and your parents or guardian
must complete a Free Application
for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)
to apply for federal aid. The form
must be received by the processor
before March 1 to assure priority
aid consideration.

Satisfactory
Academic Progress
Requirements for
the Retention of
Financial Aid
Ifyou are receiving any form offinan­
cial aid, you must meet these satisfac­
tory academic progress requirements to
retain your aid each semester.
Financial aid regulations require
that a student must make satisfac­
tory progress to remain eligible for
financial aid. Financial aid pro­
grams affected by this policy are
Federal Pell Grant, Federal Perkins
Loan, Federal Work-Study, Federal
Supplemental Educational Oppor­
tunity Grant, Federal Direct Loans,
Federal PLUS Loans, State of Michi­
gan and Institutional Scholarships,
Grants, Loan and Work Programs.

�The following policy is the
minimum requirement for all types
of financial aid; however, there
are some types of aid with more
stringent requirements
(see scholarship requirements):

Qualitative Standards
Every student must maintain,
at the end of each semester, a
cumulative grade point average
(GPA) of at least:
Cumulative
GPA

Credits
Attempted*

1.70
1.86
1.93
1.97

0-25 credits
26-55 credits
56-87 credits
88 or more credits
*Semester Hours
(includes transfer
credit hours)

Probationary Semester: First-year
freshmen and new transfer students
not meeting the GPA requirement
after their first semester at LSSU will
be placed on financial aid probation
for one semester. The cumulative
GPA after the probationary semester
must satisfy the minimum GPA or
the student will have his/her finan­
cial aid suspended. For example, a
freshman "attempting" 16 credits
each semester would need to have
a cumulative GPA of at least 1.86 to
receive aid the following year.
Current Students: Students that
have been enrolled for more than
one semester will not have a proba­
tionary semester and must meet the
schedule above for each semester.
Transfer Students: The require­
ments for transfer students are
based on the number of full-time
equivalent credits transferred to
LSSU. For example, a student with
68 transfer credits must earn a GPA
of 1.93 or higher.

Quantitative Standards
Each student's progress in credits
earned will be reviewed every se­
mester. The following credits must
be earned in relation to the number

of credits enrolled at the end of the
add period:

If a student does not satisfactorily
meet the quantitative standard, he/
she will be placed on financial aid
probation for the next semester. If
a student fails to meet the standard
for the second consecutive semester
enrolled, his/her financial aid will
be suspended.
Part-time students enrolled for less
than six credits must earn all credits
attempted.
Once financial aid is suspended,
both the GPA and credit hour
completion criteria must be met in
subsequent semesters of six credits
or more before reinstatement of aid
is possible.
If completion of "I" grades or other
record changes warrant a reinstate­
ment, a written notice from the
Registrar's Office must be presented
to the Financial Aid Office by the
end of the semester following can­
cellation of aid by the student.
Financial Aid Suspension: No aid
will be granted once a student's eligi­
bility is suspended, including but not
limited to the Federal Direct Stafford
Loan, Federal Perkins Loan, Federal
Lake Superior State University • 33

�150% Completion Rule
To qualify for federal financial
aid, students must complete
a program within 150% of the
timeframe required for the pro­
gram. For example, a student
working on an associate (twoyear) degree must complete the
degree within six semesters of
full-time study.
Students may not "attempt"
more than 150% of the credits
required for the degree. The
average baccaulaureate pro­
gram requires 124 credits, so the
maximum number of attempted
credits is 186.
Appeals to this general rule
must include an advisor's
signed copy of your degree au­
dit with your anticipated gradu­
ation date.

Direct PLUS Loan, Federal WorkStudy, Federal Supplemental Edu­
cational Opportunity Grant, Federal
Pell Grant, Michigan Competitive
Scholarship, Michigan Adult PartTime Grant, Michigan Educational
Opportunity Grant, Michigan Work
Study and Institutional Scholarships
and Grants.
Financial Aid Reinstatement:
To remove financial aid suspen­
sion status for qualitative reasons,
a student must have attained the
minimum cumulative grade point
average and credit-earned require­
ments (minimum six credit hours)
at Lake Superior State University,
while not receiving financial aid.
In additiona, students who suc­
cessfully complete 26 credits at
a community college after being
suspended at LSSU will be allowed
one probationary semester upon
readmission.
Successful students must advise
the Financial Aid Office in writing
that they have met the requirements
for reinstatement of the qualitative
standard.

Right to Appeal: A student whose
aid is suspended may request
reinstatement through the Financial
Aid Committee. To obtain reinstate­
ment, the student must effectively
demonstrate that their poor perfor­
mance was due to some unusual
circumstance. Such requests should
be in writing and be received im­
mediately following the semester of
the suspension.
Scholarships are awarded on aca­
demic excellence and may not be
reinstated by appeal.

Grant Programs

Board of Trustees’ Grant
Program
This program provides assistance
to incoming and currently enrolled
students based on financial need.

Preference is given to those whose
financial need is greater than onehalf the cost of education. Recipi­
ents must be Michigan residents
and enrolled full time in Lake Supe­
rior State University classes.

Federal Pell Grant
All students filing the FAFSA are
automatically reviewed for Pell
Grant eligibility. Pell Grants
provide assistance to which other
forms of aid may be added. A dis­
tinguishing feature of this program
is a central concept of entitlement,
guaranteeing those who demon­
strate financial need will receive a
grant based on that need and on
the cost of education at the post­
secondary school they choose to
attend.
Pell Grant amounts vary according
to the year. Check with the Finan­
cial Aid Office for details.
To be eligible for a Pell Grant,
students must:
1.

be determined to have finan­
cial need.

2.

be undergraduates accepted
for admission and enrolled in
eligible programs and meet
satisfactory progress stan­
dards.

3.

be U.S. citizens or permanent
residents or qualified Jay
Treaty students.

4.

not be in default on a Direct
Stafford or Perkins Loan, and
not owe a refund for a Pell
Grant or other federal aid.

5.

not be disqualified due to prior
drug offense convictions.

Although awards are made
through the University, the U.S.
Department of Education deter­
mines eligibility. The University
Financial Aid Office uses a stan­
dard procedure established by
the Department of Education to
calculate the award.
To apply, complete the Free Ap­
plication for Federal Student Aid
(FAFSA). Forms are available at
high schools, colleges and financial

Recipients are selected from those
applying for all forms of financial
aid by using the FAFSA.
Recipients of this award must
reapply each year and maintain
the regular satisfactory progress
standards to be considered for a

than 58 credits will automatically be
considered if enrolled in one of the

nary circumstances such as pro­
longed unemployment.

Liberal Arts—
Undecided/
Undeclared Student
Program
The liberal arts-undecided program
at LSSU is designed to guide "un­
decided" or "undeclared" students

�through exploration of academic
and personal interests and potential
majors and careers, while allow­
ing them to work toward degree
requirements. Through personalized
advising and career counseling, selfguided research and assessment,
development of a career planning
portfolio, and conversations with
faculty, staff, students and employ­
ers in fields of interest, students
will gain a better understanding of
the academic and career planning
process.
The following programs, services
and activities are available to stu­
dents beginning their careers and
majors exploration:
•

•

First-year seminars assist
students with the transition to
higher education as well as with
career exploration.

arts-undecided students with
the selection of general educa­
tion (liberal arts) courses and
introductory courses that will
meet degree requirements while
encouraging students to explore
the academic programs offered
atLSSU.

•

Guided self-assessment allows
students to explore interest, abil­
ity, achievement, aptitude, work
values, and personality traits
through completion of assess­
ments that may be reviewed by
an advisor and/or a licensed
professional career counselor.

•

Introductory freshman-level
courses can provide students
with an overview of the major or
field of study and some disci­
plines offer a career explorations
course within the discipline.

•

Faculty, staff, students and alum­
ni at LSSU are great resources as
students develop their network
of friends and contacts.

•

Involvement in student organi­
zations and out-of-class activities
at LSSU allow students to gain
"real world" experience while
enjoying student life at LSSU.

•

Career exploration resources

college or university, but did not
receive the full benefits of their high
school education, 2) motivated to
learn but lack the preparatory read­
ing, writing or mathematics skills
necessary for success in freshmanlevel courses at LSSU, or 3) are look­
ing for a second change at a college
or university education.
Students admitted to the Univer­
sity Studies Program work closely
with academic advisors to set up an
individualized plan of course and
program requirements and academ­
ic support while working toward
degree requirements at LSSU.

Housing
A variety of housing facilities are
available. If you are enrolled at
LSSU for 12 credit hours or more,
there are mandatory policies that
apply.
If you are unmarried and/or a
nonveteran enrolled in 12 hours or
more and are within 27 calendar
months of your high school gradu­
ation, you must reside in a Univer­
sity residence hall.
High school graduation dates are
assumed to be June 1 for this pur­
pose. The exceptions are:
1.

2.

3.

If you live with your parents
within a 60-mile radius or the
three-county (Chippewa, Luce
and Mackinac) service area
of the University. An excep­
tion application is available in
the Housing Office and must
be approved by the Housing
director.
If you are exempted in writing
by the Housing director when
residence hall space is filled.
If you have unusual financial
or health problems. Permis­
sion must be granted by the
Director of Housing and Resi­
dential Life.

The University reserves the right
to assign all students within the
residence halls. Housing prefer­
ences are considered according
to the dates of receipt of applica-

tion and first room and board
payments. Freshmen are usually
accorded priority in residence hall
assignments and upperclassmen
hold priority in apartment assign­
ments.

The Corner Pocket (located on the
lower level of the Cisler Center) is a
convenience store with many snack
items, beverages and groceries.

The University recognizes that
exceptions to these policies may
arise. Requests for permission to
live off-campus will be considered
by the Director of Housing and
Residential Life, who shall apply
the following criteria to a request
to live off campus for financial
reasons:

Athletics

"Financial hardship" is a situation
in which the total resources of the
student and family added to the
total financial aid available from
the University does not equal the
dollar amount budgeted by the Fi­
nancial Aid Office as the minimum
required for on-campus residency.
In such a situation, there are two
alternatives: a) withdrawal from
the residence hall or b) withdrawal
from the University. An example is
a student whose financial situation
changed suddenly during the year
(perhaps due to the death of a par­
ent) and who applies for assistance
after the aid program is depleted.

Dining Services
The Quarterdeck Dining Hall
(on the upper level of the Walker
Cisler Center Students and Confer­
ence Center) is an all-you-can-eat
cafeteria.

Lake Superior State University
sponsors varsity intercollegiate ath­
letics at the NCAA Division II level
in 11 sports; men's and women's
basketball, tennis, cross country
and track; men's golf; and women's
volleyball and softball. Ice hockey
is a Division I sport for men.
The University is a member of the
Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athlet­
ic Conference (GLIAC) in Division
II sports, and competes in the Cen­
tral Collegiate Hockey Association
(CCHA) in hockey.
Initial approval by the NCAA
Clearinghouse is required of all
freshman athletes. Contact your
high school guidance counselor for
that information.
If you are interested in compet­
ing as a Laker, contact the athletic
department. Student-athletes must
maintain a minimum grade point
average, carry a required number
of courses, and make satisfactory
progress toward a baccalaureate
degree.

Health Service

Cafe a la Cart (located on the main
floor of Crawford Hall) features a
convenience-style menu, breakfast
items and a variety of beverages.

Basic health care services are avail­
able at the LSSU Health CARE
Center. The center is staffed by
health care professionals. Full-time

Student-Faculty
Relations Committee
(Appeals)
Function. The Student-Faculty
Relations Committee provides a fo­
rum for resolving conflicts between
students and faculty members
which may arise with classroom or
course-related activities, policies
or procedures. The committee will
not consider cases involving ADA
compliance or any other matter it
deems inappropriate. This commit­
tee is strictly an informal mediation
body which will forward recom­
mendations for resolution to the
parties involved (with a copy to
the executive vice president and
provost).
Membership. The University
president appoints the committee
membership to two-year terms.
There are four faculty representa­
tives (at least one from each col­
lege) and four student representa­
tives. The chair is chosen by the
committee membership.
Procedures
1.

If a student (or group of
students) wishes to raise an
issue related to a course which
he/she is taking or has taken
(normally within one semester),
the student should attempt to
resolve the issue at the stu­
dent/ faculty, department head
or appropriate college dean
level. If the matter cannot be
resolved at the lowest pos­
sible levels, the student may
appeal to the Student-Faculty
Relations committee informing
them of the problem. In excep­
tional cases, the student may
approach the Student-Faculty
Relations Committee directly.

2.

To bring an issue before the
Student-Faculty Relations com­
mittee, the student must notify
the Student-Faculty Relations
Committee in writing. This
document must clearly explain
the situation and include the stu­
dent's name, current address, a

�message telephone number and
times when the student is avail­
able to meet with the committee.
Supporting documentation may
be included as well. The writ­
ten appeal should be submitted
directly to the committee chair.
The Executive Vice President
and Provost's Office will know
the name of tire committee chair.
3.

Once tire committee members
have had an opportunity to
review the student's concern,
they will conduct air informal
fact-finding process. As a part of

the process, the student will be
invited to meet with the com­
mittee for further clarification.
This meeting will be 20 minutes
in length with 10 minutes of
question and answer by tire
committee. The other party will
also be invited to meet with the
committee following the same
fomrat. Both parties will then be
asked to meet together with tire
committee in an effort to foster
communication, clarification and
resolution. The most desirable
arrangement would be for this
step to occur at one setting. The

Lake Superior State University • 61

committee will strive to be as
expeditious as possible. There
may be extenuating circum­
stances such as semester break or
summer recess.
4.

If there is no resolution after this
joint meeting of tire parties in­
volved, or if the outcome of this
process is not acceptable to the
student or tire faculty member,
he/she may appeal to the execu­
tive vice president and provost
of tire University.

5.

The committee will keep no
permanent records.

�Computer Services
LSSU Information Technology
offers a variety of services and
programs for students. Classroom
laboratories provide for instruction
that involves computers and/or
software. During non-class hours,
general access labs provide copies
of the software used in classes, open
Internet access to students, as well
as word processing software. Help
for students utilizing software in the
classroom or labs is available in the
Learning Center. PCs enhance the
research ability of the KJS Library
with access to the Internet and many
databases. The University maintains
a student-to-computer ratio of 10-1
whenever possible.
Upon enrollment, a student will
receive an e-mail account which
can be used to access the university

messaging system as well as com­
municating with friends and family.
This account is free to any enrolled
student. Instructions and help for
using the e-mail account are avail­
able at the Information Technology
HelpDesk in the Administration
Building. Internet access is also
available in student residences and
many locations across campus.
The Information Technology HelpDesk is located in the Administra­
tion Building, room 107. The HelpDesk assists students with general
computing problems related to any
of the above services.

�The International University
College Division
of Lake Superior State University and Sault College
Lake Superior State University,
in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, and
Sault College, in Sault Ste. Marie,
Ontario, are just a 15-minute car
ride apart. In spite of being located
in different countries, our cities
are closer to each other than they
are to municipalities in their home
state or province. So, community
leaders encourage initiatives that
strengthen the ties between us and
take advantage of shared resourc­
es. The belief is we have more to
offer by working together.
Lake Superior State University
and Sault College have enjoyed
a good working relationship for
many years. In 2001, some articu­
lations were revitalized, new ones
were struck and it was decided
to establish the International
University College Division. The
division allows full-time students
in some program areas to be dualenrolled. In computer science/
studies, criminal justice or liberal
studies/teacher education, agree­
ments have been signed which
encourage students to take ad­
vantage of the diverse faculty and
resources available at both schools
as they pursue their degrees and/
or diplomas.
Getting involved in the Interna­
tional Division is straightforward
— consult with the academic
department, fill in a Dual Enroll­
ment Form and submit it to the
Registrar's Office. As a dual-en­
rolled student, you are permitted
to take one course per semester
at the other school. Through the
extra advising available to you,
you can fit these courses into your
overall academic plan and semes­
ter timetables. You register for all
courses through your home school
registrar and your academic infor-

mation is transferred automatically
at the conclusion of each semester.
As long as you meet the required
academic standards, you will con­
tinue to enjoy these advantages of
attending both schools:
•

the combination of applied,
"hands-on" training and theo­
retical understanding

•

more course choices

•

access to many of the stu­
dent services and academic
resources (e.g. wider selec­
tion of equipment, libraries,
student centers, peer tutoring,
etc.) available at both institu­
tions

•

accessible professors through
small classes, labs and office
hours

•

interaction with fellow stu­
dents from another country
— a good basis for a network
of contacts that can assist you
in your life's work ahead

•

greater employment options
and advancement opportunities

Dual-enrolled students pursuing
the bachelor of science in comput­
er science or computer network­
ing gain these particular benefits:
•

professors with a wide variety
of computer-based qualifica­
tions and areas of expertise

•

exposure to, and opportunity
to work with, more types of
hardware and software than
would be available at either
institution on its own

•

plenty of equipment available
for hands-on experience

•

more than 70% of the major
courses with a lab component

64 • Lake Superior State University

•

opportunity to earn worldrecognized CISCO CCNA and
Microsoft MCSE certifications

•

Innovative, relevant programs
which adjust quickly to both
changing technology and em­
ployers' needs

Dual-enrolled students in the
criminal justice degree programs
benefit from the continuing educa­
tion opportunities developed by
both schools for people currently
working in public safety. LSSU
does this through its academy,
providing MCOLES (Michigan

advanced training and certifica­
tion for Ontario Provincial Police
and municipal police officers at its

Failed Classes
If you fail a class required for your
degree program, you must repeat

the class and receive a passing
grade. If the failed class is no
longer offered because of program
changes and/or course deletions,
the Associate Provost can substitute
another similar class.

Exceptions to Graduation
Requirements
Exceptions to specific general
education requirements may be
granted only by the Scholastic
Standards Committee. Such ex­
ceptions are infrequently made. A
petition for exceptions to general
education requirements is initiated
with the assistant to the provost
for academic records.
Course substitutions and waivers
of departmental degree program
requirements may be granted only
by the chair of the school offering
the program (major or minor).
Normally, you will graduate
under the program degree require­
ments in effect and published in
the Catalog at the time you are
admitted into the given degree
program, provided enrollment at
the University is continuous. If
enrollment is interrupted, or if
you select a new major, you must
satisfy program requirements in
effect at the time you reenter or of­
ficially change to the new major. If
program requirements are revised
during your enrollment, you will
be allowed to graduate under the
new requirements pro-viding you
can meet such requirements in
their entirety.
The University reserves the right
to change the requirements for
graduation at any time as a means
of keeping pace with educational
developments affecting the vari­
ous curricula. As such changes
are made, they may, at the discre­
tion of the University, be applied
to students already enrolled. In
such cases, reasonable and pru­
dent effort will be made to provide
the benefit of the new educational
program without imposing undue
hardship.

�Graduation Procedures
Degree candidacy procedure: Two
semesters before students plan to
complete degree requirements and
graduate, they must submit an
appropriate departmental degree
audit for each major and minor,
and a Declaration of Candidacy
for Degree to the assistant to the
provost for Academic Records. The
necessary forms are available at the
student's major departmental office.
The departmental Degree Audit for
a student's major or minor speci­
fies all required courses that have
been or must be completed. The
audit must be signed by the chair
of the school offering the major or
minor program. Course substitu­
tions and waivers of departmental
degree program requirements may
be granted only by the chair of the
school offering the major or minor
program. Exceptions to specific
general education requirements
may be granted only by the Scho­
lastic Standards Committee. Such
exceptions are infrequently made.
A petition for exceptions to general
education requirements is initiated
with the assistant to the provost for
academic records.
The assistant to the provost checks
students' Degree Audits, after
which a preliminary verification
of the Degree Audit is sent to each
student and respective school chair.
Students are responsible for examin­
ing this verification and requesting
clarification of anything that is not
consistent with their records or un­
derstanding.
From the Declaration of Candi­
dacy for Degree forms submitted by
students, a potential graduate list is
created for each semester. Names
for the commencement program and
diploma will be the official, legal
name as listed in the records of the
University. The names of students
who are listed in the annual com­
mencement program are also com­
piled from Declaration of Candidacy

for Degree forms. Students may
not be listed in the commencement
program unless their Degree Candi­
dacy Form is filed with the assistant
to the provost six weeks prior to com­
mencement. Students are expected
to attend commencement exercises
unless excused by the assistant to the
provost. Students completing degree
requirements during the summer
may participate in commencement
the previous semester if their degree
candidacy form is received six weeks
prior to commencement.
After grades are received at the end
of each semester, Degree Audits will
be updated for all students complet­
ing credit and who have a Degree
Candidacy Form on file. When
all requirements specified on the
Degree Audit are fulfilled, the col­
lege dean and/or school chair and
assistant to the provost give a final
approval. Names of these gradu­
ates are then sent to the president for
approval by the Board of Trustees.
Subsequently, a diploma is provided
to each student.
Diploma charge: There is no charge
for the first diploma from the Uni­
versity. A fee is charged for replace­
ment diplomas.
Students completing graduation
requirements in the fall semes­
ter or summer, or who otherwise
need documentation of completion
before their diploma is available,
may request a letter certifying that
they have completed degree re­
quirements. Additionally, official
University transcripts will be sent to
any employer, graduate university,
or elsewhere, as requested by the
graduate. Official transcripts will not
be mailed to students.
Graduation with honors: Honors
graduates must earn at least 32 cred­
its at Lake Superior State University.
Students who earn 3.50 to 3.69 will
graduate cum laude; 3.70 to 3.89,
Lake Superior State University • 69

�magna cum laude; 3.90 to 4.00,
summa cum laude.
Graduation diplomas with honors
will be awarded to baccalaureate
and associate's and certificate re­
cipients. Honors medallions will be
awarded only to baccalaureate and
associate's degree recipients who
graduate summa cum laude.

Delinquent Accounts
Students with delinquent accounts
may be removed from class, have
their diploma withheld, and/or
have transcript requests denied.

Honors Degree
The University Honors Program
offers highly motivated students
the opportunity to develop their
abilities and skills in exciting and
innovative ways. The central goal
of the University honors pro­
gram is to create a community of
scholars characterized by strong
student-faculty interaction around
the world of ideas. The honors
program fosters an approach to
education that incorporates the
qualities of active participation,
intellectual curiosity and an inter­
disciplinary focus.
Selection is based upon a number
of factors, including: ACT scores,
high school grade point aver­
age, application essay, personal
interview and Lake State faculty
nomination. Students invited to
participate in the program enroll
in courses designated for honors
credit. The courses are distrib­
uted among the requirements for
general education, the student's
major, and the University honors
program and may include small
seminars or independent research
projects.
To graduate with an honors degree
in a program of study, the honors
student must have formal accep­
tance into the University honors
program and have successfully

Notes:
Candidates may apply to the program at any time, formal admission
is not required for enrollment, but limits do apply to the number of
credits earned prior to admission. All applicants must submit GPA
and graduate admission (GRE or MAT) test scores regardless of which

10 years prior to graduation from the graduate program. Decisions
concering transfer of coursework are made at the time of admission.
An approved plan of study will be developed with the Graduate
Program Coordinator and the graduate faculty. If the number of
applicants to a program exceeds the capacity, preference will be given
to the candidates who, after review of the entire graduate application,
demonstrate the strongest potential for success in the chosen field.
Candidates who have not achieved minimum test scores or the
minimum GPA, but who meet all other requirements, may, under special
circumstances, be considered for admission into the program.
No more than a total of 12 credits earned prior to admission to the

�Legal Assistant Studies
Program Description:

Career Description*:

The legal assistant profession is one
of the occupations projected to grow
the fastest through the year 2010
according to the U.S. Department of
Labor. A legal assistant (or parale­
gal) is a valued member of the legal
team and works under the supervi­
sion of attorneys.

Litigation Legal Assistant — Con­
ducts research; drafts legal plead­
ings and documents; interviews
clients and witnesses; investigates,
gathers and organizes case infor­
mation; assists at trial.
Corporate Legal Assistant — Drafts
and/or analyzes various legal
documents; attends meetings, nego­
tiations or closings; performs legal
and factual research; monitors com­
pliance with applicable industry
regulations; assists attorneys with
preparation for collective bargain­
ing, contract negotiations, adminis­
trative hearings or trials.
Criminal Law Legal Assistant
— Conducts comprehensive inter­
views of defendants, law enforce­
ment, victims, and/or witnesses;
performs case and field investiga­
tions; locates and coordinates usage
of applicable experts; prepares
motions, briefs or other legal docu­
ments; acts as a litigation assistant
during trial and any appeal.
Governmental Legal Assistant —
Works as an immigration specialist;
civil rights analyst; environmental
protection specialist; mediation
specialist; legislative analyst; work­
ers compensation claims examiner,
etc. (even the White House has
employed legal assistants).
Real Estate Legal Assistant — Con­
ducts title searches; drafts real
estate closing documents; monitors
compliance with title, survey, dis­
closure and/or regulatory require­
ments; schedules and participates
in real estate closings.

This program is approved by the
American Bar Association and is de­
signed to train qualified legal assis­
tants capable of working in a variety
of areas of the law and in a variety of
work environments. Consequently,
the role and job duties of a legal as­
sistant vary depending on the areas
of law and work environment in
which a legal assistant is employed.
Such diversity, varied challenges,
and employment possibilities are
what makes the legal assistant pro­
fession so interesting and rewarding.
There are four different degrees or
offerings in legal assistant studies.
They are as follows: (1) a four-year
baccalaureate degree in legal as­
sistant studies with an emphasis in
legal administration, criminal law,
personal injury, labor law, legisla­
tive/ constitutional law, environmen­
tal law and policy, legal technology
or client advocacy or a selected
minor as approved by the legal
assistant studies coordinator; (2)
a two-year associate's degree in
legal assistant studies; (3) a post­
baccalaureate (one-year) certificate
in legal assistant studies (which is
available to students who already
have a bachelor's degree in some
other discipline and wish to make a
career change or advancement); or
(4) a minor in legal assistant studies
which can complement various
majors (and may also be helpful to
students who are planning on at­
tending law school).

Program Description:

Career Descriptions:

The bachelor of science degree in bi­
ology combines theory and concepts
of biology with intensive, hands-on
experiences in our state-of-the-art
laboratories and a wealth of close-by
field sites. The program is flexible.
Students build on a core of biology
classes by selecting the physiology
and taxonomy classes that best fit
their interests.

plied or basic research in biomedi­
cal sciences, ecology or conserva­
tion biology, animal sciences, plant

The program is an excellent prepara­
tion for biology or related careers.
Our graduates are currently em­
ployed as doctors, dentists, veterinar­
ians, biological researchers, consul­
tants and teachers. Many careers in
biology require education beyond
the baccalaureate degree and LSSU's
biology program has a proven record
of excellent preparation.
Pre-professional studies are an im­
portant part of the biology program
at LSSU. This program prepares
students for entrance into medi­
cal, dental, veterinary, optometry,
chiropractic, and podiatry schools.
Students work with a pre-profes­
sional advisor to select biology
courses and electives best suited for
their particular needs. Our program
has an excellent reputation with the
health professional schools in both
Michigan and Ontario.
The bachelor of arts degree in biology
includes a strong core program of
science courses. In addition, this pro­
gram allows students the flexibility of
completing minor fields of study in
other disciplines such as art, political
science, marketing, social science, psy­
chology, or elementary education.
These programs require completion
of general education requirements
and electives so that at least 125 cred­
its are earned.

Career Description:

This program is unique as it serves as
least four (4) different constituencies or
career tracks. Further, business students
who major in Legal Management can
expand their employment possibilities
in varied work environments (in both
the business and the legal arenas). Cer­
tainly, the law is well integrated within
the business world. Whether you are
addressing issues in the areas of human
resources, employer benefits, safety,
worker's compensation, contracts, insur­
ance, compliance, technology or labor
relations, a business major with a legal
background will enhance their value to
an employer as well as enhance their
employment flexibility since they can
work in any business setting or in law
firms or other legal work environments.
This program also serves as an excellent
prelaw or graduate school foundation
for those who are planning to go on to
law school or graduate studies.
The professional career areas that this
major addresses include the following:

Legal Management graduates are able to
pursue a wide variety of career options
because of the knowledge and skills that
they acquire in business, law, writing,
leadership, critical thinking, analysis, and
oral communication.
Typical professions include:
Legal Administrator — Manages the
planning and business functions, as well
as the overall operations of a law office,
or legal department in a corporation,
insurance company or other legal or
governmental agency; responsibilities
include such areas as financial planning
and controls; human resources manage­
ment; client services and marketing; and
information technology.
Business Executive — Works as a hu­
man resources manager; employment
and placement manager; EEO officer;
affirmative action coordinator; com­
pensation, benefits and job analysis
specialist; labor relations manager;
contract administrator; insurance claim
adjuster/investigator; or other business
areas.
Paralegal/Legal Assistant Manager —
Supervises, trains and evaluates legal
assistants (paralegals). Legal assistant
managers are found in all the same en­
vironments that employ legal assistants:
law firms, corporate legal departments,
governmental agencies, insurance
companies, prosecutor offices, financial
institutions, etc.
Lawyer - Practices law within private
law practices; public interest groups;
governmental agencies (federal, state,
tribal or local); courts (as judges or court
administrators); business and industry
(e.g., insurance companies; financial in­
stitutions; corporations; hospitals; pub­
lic relation firms; political campaigns;
labor unions; and trade associations);
academics (as a law professor, law li­
brarian or administrator); or in various
"nonlegal" careers such as in the media,
law enforcement, public relations, for­
eign service, or in politics.

Program Description:

Career Description:

This degree requires successful
completion of a curriculum with a
minimum of 128 semester hours as
prescribed on the following page.

Managers guide and direct the
organization. Managers set goals
and determine methods to achieve
those goals. Since managers must
achieve the organization's goals
through the efforts of other indi­
viduals, the practice of manage­
ment is concerned with human be­
havior. Managers are involved with
designing effective organization
structures, controlling operations,
making effective decisions, and
communicating, motivating and
leading personnel. Additionally,
an effective manager must design
programs to develop people's abili­
ties and talents, understand the role
and impact of technology on the
organization and be aware of and
respond to social challenges both
domestically and internationally. A
career in management is both chal­
lenging and rewarding.

The management major is de­
signed to provide students with
a broad background in business
by presenting courses covering
the functional areas of business.
This management degree program
prepares students for leadership
positions in business and non-profit
organizations.

�Marketing
Program Description:

Career Description:

This degree requires successful
completion of a curriculum with a
minimum of 128 semester hours as
prescribed on the following page.

Today, more than 20 million people
have careers in marketing. Few
other professional careers offer as
many career possibilities as the
field of marketing. Marketing, with
its varied career options and con­
siderable responsibilities within the
organization, is an excellent prepa­
ration for management positions in
all types of organizations. Salaries
for entry-level positions are rising
in excess of the rate of inflation.

The marketing major is designed
to prepare students for the many
opportunities in the field of mar­
keting. The study of marketing
includes marketing principles,
principles of selling, retail manage­
ment, consumer behavior, advertis­
ing theory and practice, marketing
management, sales force manage­
ment, marketing research and inter­
national marketing. These courses,
along with the common profes­
sional business core courses, are
designed to provide our students
with the appropriate knowledge
and skills to understand the func­
tion of marketing in the firm and in
society and to be effective decision
makers.

Nearly one-third of the civilian
work force in the United States is
employed in marketing-related
jobs. Marketing career opportuni­
ties include product development,
product management, distribution
management, advertising, public
relations, industrial buying, retail
management, sales, marketing
research and direct marketing. Each
area encompasses hundreds of mar­
keting jobs.
