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

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

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

complements its efforts to present
unique educational experiences,
expand students' perspectives, and
foster their ability to critically
evaluate ideas and information.

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.

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:

the assistant to the provost
for academic records. Call
1-888-800-LSSU, ext. 2012
or 906-635-2012 The
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.
4.

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;

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.

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:
Section 1. General Policy on

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

Section 2. Notification to Students

Under the provisions of the Act,
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
students of directory information.
The director of the Student Services
Center is the hearing officer for the
Act and is responsible for implementing the notification requirements and distribution of copies of
the policies and procedures.

�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

individuals to promptly report
instances of discrimination and
discriminatory harassment.

your final year of high school.
Applications are processed continuously and you will be notified
of a decision within two weeks. To
complete your admission file you
must submit a final high school

26 months of entering Lake State).
To be considered official, all
transcripts must be mailed from
your high school guidance office
directly to Lake Superior State

be assigned. Financial aid applications will not be processed without
your social security number.
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 determining
admission are ACT* scores and
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
University College dedicated to
providing an educational opportunity to students who meet certain
profiles. Students who are admitted via University Studies receive
additional advising and support
services to ensure their success at
LSSU.

credit where possible.
The Admissions Office completes
transfer credit evaluations. The
decision on courses and transfer
credit granted may be appealed
first to the academic dean and then
to the provost.

�start in higher education via the
University Studies program in the
University College. As a University Studies student you will be
assigned an academic advisor who
understands your situation. Your
advisor will work closely with you
to make sure you are enrolled in
appropriate courses.
The University College (UC)
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,
tutorial video and audio libraries.
A book lending library and study
space are also available for your
use. The friendly staff will be
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.

24 • Lake Supertor State University• 1-888-800-LSSU, ext. 2231

�Guest Students
Students enrolled at another
college or university may be
admitted to Lake State for one
semester as a guest student. An
extension of one additional semester may be granted for extenuating
circumstances. If you intend to
enroll full time for more than one
semester, you must submit an
Application for Admission as a
transfer student. Guest students
assume responsibility for determining if Lake State courses apply
to their program at the college from
which they intend to graduate.

Canadian Students
If you are an Ontario student
applying on the basis of high
school records, you are evaluated
on your ACT score and grade point
average for all A- and G-level
courses. Two grading scales are
used when evaluating Ontario
secondary school applicants (see
table). OAC and A-level courses
are considered more demanding
and their contents more appropriate preparation for university-level
courses. B- and W-level courses are
never included in the grade point
average.

Additional information for Ontario
secondary school students is
available in the Ontario Student
Handbook published by the
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.

bank constitutes nonpayment and
results in cancellation of registration.
Auditing: The cost for auditing
courses is one-half the tuition
charged for credit courses plus
special course fees.

Michigan residents who are 60
years of age or older may audit
undergraduate courses compliments of LSSU.
There is no official record for
auditing classes.
Other courses: A few courses have
special fees. All registrations
(including payment of fees) must
be complete no later than six days
after the beginning of regular
instruction. Enrollment after the
six-day period has passed is
allowed, but not encouraged, with
special permission from the

vehicle anywhere on campus, there
is an annual vehicle registration
fee. The fee is refunded only under
certain conditions.
Credit by exam: Credit by departmental examination is available to
full-time students. If a 2.00 or
better is scored, the credit is
recorded on your transcript. The
fee charged is equivalent to CLEP

withdraw from the University, you
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

with their requirements. You

the semester will receive a 25
percent refund. No refunds are
provided for dropping one or two

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
dismissal. Students who leave but
do not withdraw are responsible
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.

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.

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.

32 • Lake Superior State University• 1-888-800-LSSU, ext. 2678

�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.

Dining
The Quarterdeck is a full-service
cafeteria offering three meals a day.
A complete and modern cafeteria,
the 'Deck is in the Walker Cisler
Student and Conference Center.
There are several options for meal
plans. These programs will be

toilet trained. The center, licensed
by the State of Michigan Department of Social Services, provides
developmentally sound experiences for the 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,
students enrolled in the child
development program plan and
supervise large group, art, snack

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.

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).

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
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 enforce- .
ment, 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.

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.

Student Profile:
Are you ...
interested in art?

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,

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.

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
organization.

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

�Natural Resources Technology
See College of Natural
and Health Sciences. page 245.

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.

Dr. Gerald F. Dobbertin

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.

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.

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.

•

Self-paced learning modules.

•

One-to-one tutoring with a
nurse or experienced Certified
Evaluator Nursing Assistant
(CENA) willing to teach the
skills.

•

A local nursing home
(Tendercare) may be willing to
provide a three-day educational session to learn these
skills in exchange for 25 hours
of volunteer work with the
activities department.

If other than a CENA course is

presented to verify knowledge, you
will be expected to demonstrate the
skills in the nursing clinical laboratory. The evaluator will use a
"skills checkoff" of the expected
standard to evaluate competency.
Competencies are available in any
fundamentals of nursing textbook
or nursing assistant textbook.
