Arbuckle President Welcome• 2 �A LOOK AT LSSU 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 literally the last stop on Interstate 75 which originates in the Florida Keys. The campus served as Ft. Brady starting in 1822 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 & 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 as an institution 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 around 227 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. Accreditation Lake Superior State University is accredited by the following agencies: • North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools • National League for Nursing • Council on Medical Education and Hospitals of the American Medical Association. • Technology Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology in: - electrical/computer - mechanical engineering technology - electrical/ electronics - mechanical - automated manufacturing engineering technology.

University Talk • 7 �ACADEMIC POLICIES The academic policies and regulations of Lake Superior State University are guides to your responsibilities as a student. Advisors, department heads and campus personnel will help you understand these policies and regulations. However, it is up to you to comply. The Academic Year Lake Superior State University operates on a semester system. The academic year consists of a fall semester (September through December) and spring . semester (January through April or early May). Fall and spring semesters cons1.st of 15 weeks of instruction followed by a final examination week. Summer se~s1on courses, for the most part, are eight weeks including two days for final examinations. Specific dates for each semester can be found in this catalog. Academic Credit One credit is awarded for 15 hours of classroom instruction in lecture/ recitation courses. For example, a three-credit course might be scheduled 9:009:50a.m. Monday, Wednesday and Friday. A class period is usually 50 minutes, with 10 minutes between classes. Courses including laboratory, field work or other non-lecture formats meet for more than one hour a week per credit. In general, one credit requires an average of three hours of preparation/study time a week for the semester. In lecture/recitation courses this normally means one hour of classroom attendance and two hours of preparation or study. An average credit load per semester is 16. A minimum of 124 credits is required for a baccalaureate degree. Student Classifications There are four class levels: 0 to 25 credits =freshman; 26 to 55 credits = sophomore; 56 to 87 = junior; 88+ = senior. Student Curriculum Choice and Advising You are encouraged to select a major program upon admission to the U~iversity. The academic department offering the chosen program is called the ma1or department. You will be assigned an academic advisor - a faculty member who teaches in your chosen field. Your advisor will help in with course selection, . understanding program and University requirements and regulations, evaluation of academic progress, and matters related to successful academic achievement. Lake Superior State University is firmly committed to providing personalized advising and support. You are encouraged to actively seek help from your instructors, advisors, department chair, Leaming Center, Counseling Center, and any other faculty or staff member. The Leaming Center provides academic tutoring as does the Native American Center and academic departments. The~e services are usually provided without charge. Additional information concerning advising services is listed under testing and counseling service in this cat~l~g. . U you are undecided about a major program, you are considered maJo_n ng m liberal arts, an associate degree program. A provisional academic advisor 1s assigned until a major is chosen. Academic Policies • 8 �You may change your major curriculum by processing a Curriculum Change Card through the Registrar's Office. The Registrar's Office, Counseling Center and departmental offices have the card and instructions. Curriculum Change Cards must be filed with the Registrar's Office for each curriculum change. This is important so that advisor materials, grade reports and graduation information are sent to the right school and advisor. You are assigned a new advisor when you change curricula. You may request a change of advisor by asking the dean of your school. If you are provisionally admitted to Lake Superior State University, an academic advisor from the Leaming Center is assigned. This assignment is active until the exiting criteria enables unconditional entrance to a chosen major. Semester Course Selection A course schedule listing all courses and relevant information is published each semester. The booklet includes classes offered, days and hours of offerings, instructor and final examination time. You are responsible for reading the course schedule and adhering to its instructions. Course schedules and scheduling materials are available from all departmental offices and the Registrar/Scheduling Office. You may schedule your courses, after consulting with your academic advisor, by submitting required materials to the Registrar /Scheduling Office according to the time schedule described in the course schedule. There is a limited period to pay tuition and related fees. If you fail to make payment or arrangements, your enrollment will be canceled. Several factors assist or limit course selections. Placement examinations for mathematics, English, and reading are administered by the Counseling and Testing Center. These examinations are required before you can schedule your first courses in mathematics or English. Maximum student credit load is 20 credits a semester. An exception is possible if you carry a 3.00 cumulative grade point average and written approval from the dean of the school. Students on academic probation should not take more than 15 credits a semester. Prerequisites: Before you enroll in a course, you must satisfy prerequisites and other stated conditions before enrolling in a course or have the instructor's permission to waive the prerequisites. Enrollment in a course may be revoked (with an N grade) during the regular drop period if the prerequisites have not been met. Responsibility rests with you to be certain that you have the approved prerequisites. We rarely allow courses to be taken out of sequence. Such courses impose an additional burden not reflected in the number of credits carried. Students must earn passing grades in a prerequisite course before taking the next course in sequence. For some courses, a C (2.00) grade or better is required. Exceptions may be made only by school dean or the course instructor. Students who receive a D grade in a prerequisite course or a course in the major are advised (and may be required) to repeat the course to raise the D before continuing. Repeats: You may not repeat a course by enrollment or examination if you have passed a course for which the repeated course is a prerequisite. Exceptions may be granted by the school dean with the concurrence of the registrar. Changes in course schedule: Classes can be added or dropped during a defined period at the beginning of each semester. Courses deleted during this period will not appear on a student's permanent record. The add/ delete period for a full semester course begins on the first day of the semester, and ends on the Academic Policies • 9 �sixth University business day. For courses that span less than a full semester, a shorter add/delete period may be in place. Schedule changes are initiated at the Registrar /Scheduling Office where records of class availability are maintained. In some cases faculty permission is required for course changes. Detailed information on adding or deleting classes is in the course schedule booklet. A student's add or withdrawal from a course is not officially complete until the appropriate form is completed with the Registrar/Scheduling Office. You are advised to · retain the official receipt upon completion of any add or drop. Late Adds: Should you wish to add courses after the end of the add/delete period, you need permission and a special form from the Registrar's Office, obtain written approval of the instructor, and return the form to the Registrar's Office. There is a service charge for this process. You are responsible for all class work missed prior to adding the class. Non-attendance at first class: You may be dropped from a class during the delete period if you fail to attend the first class meeting. The instructor must, if taking this action, submit a delete form and notify the student. Dropping courses after the add/delete period: You may drop a course during the first 40 days of a full semester course. For courses running Jess than a full semester, the current course schedule booklet lists official dates for each semester. (The period for dropping equals 54 percent of the course instructional period.) Your record shall indicate an N grade for each course officially dropped during this period. Forms for the procedure are available in the schools or Registrar /Scheduling Offices. After the eight-week drop period, drops are allowed only for extenuating circumstances. In these cases, records shall indicate a W grade for courses officially dropped. The student must receive the instructor's recommendation and the approval of the registrar. Forms are at the Registrar's Office. Class Attendance You must decide for yourself when it is necessary to be absent from class. Instructors may lower grades if they believe excessive absences require this action. The policy on attendance reads as follows: 1. Absences are handled according to the instructor's discretion, consistent with school policy. 2. Instructors are encouraged to report consecutive or excessive absences to the vice president for student programs and services. 3. 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 from the University If you are a full-time student and withdraw from the Un,i versity during the first eight weeks of the semester, you should report in person to the Counseling Center and complete a Withdrawal Form for the registrar. The registrar will authorize the appropriate refund. Refunds are mailed after the end of the refund period. After the eight-week drop period, students must report to the Registrar's Office for the Withdrawal Form. Proper clearance of University obligations assures that you can later receive transfer of credits. Make sure any holds on your transcript are cleared, or you will not receive a transcript of credits until clearance is complete. Academic Policies • 10 �The Grading System Grade point average (GPA): To compute the grade point average for a semester, divide the total points earned by the total credits carried. Credits carried include those failed or earned but not credit for credit/no credit courses. You can figure cumulative grade point average by dividing the total points earned by the credits carried in all semesters. When a course is repeated, count only the credits carried and the points of the last grade earned. Thus, successfully repeating courses is an effective way to improve cumulative GPA. A cumulative grade point average of 2.00 for all credits is required for graduation. Further, a 2.00 grade point average for all in major and minor(s) departmental courses is required. Some programs require a higher grade point average in the major curriculum. Incomplete grades (I): An incomplete grade is given only if you are unable to complete a course due to circumstances beyond control. Course work must be made up by the date specified by the instructor and must be within a maximum of two semesters in residence or the incomplete grade becomes a failure. Summer semesters count if you are enrolled for summer classes. No grade (N) and withdrawal (W) grades: An N grade will be given for each course officially dropped during the first eight weeks and a W grade will be given for each course officially dropped after the eight-week drop period. Deferred grades (Z): Deferred grades are given in those courses where work is planned to extend beyond a single semester. Grade reports: Grades and credit reports are mailed to your home address after each semester. Change of grade: You may request an instructor to review and change a grade within two semesters. Summer semesters do not count unless you are enrolled during the summer. Dean's list: Those who complete 12 or more semester credits with a grade point average of 3.50 or higher earn Dean's List honors for that semester, acknowledging their outstanding achievement. Grade A+ A Excellent AB+ B Good . BC+ C Average C- D+ Grades and Grade Points Grade Points Grade Points Grade per Credit per Credit 4 1 D Inferior D.7 4 3.7 F Failure 0 3.3 0 I Incomplete 3 0 N NoGrade W Withdrawal 2.7 0 Z Deferred 0 2.3 CR Credit 2 0 NCR No Credit 1.7 0 1.3 Academic Probation You have a considerable degree of self-determination at LSSU; you decide when and how long to work on each assignment. The best way to succeed in this task is to work out a weekly schedule with two hours of study time earmarked as preparation for each one-hour class. In a few cases, the instructor may suggest some other division of time. Academic Policies • 11 �Most students maintain good work in all their courses. A few fall short of satisfactory performance. In these cases, a system of academic probation is used. Academic probation is a warning that scholastic performance is below the University's minimum requirements. During this period, students should determine whether to continue their programs as planned. No student, while on probation, shall carry more than 15 credits a semester exclusive of band and recreational activities.

Academic probation is in effect if the cumulative grade point average is in the "on probation" category. Shldents whose cumulative grade point average at the conclusion of a . semester falls into the dismissal range of the academic standing table will be dismissed. · After a first or second dismissal there are these options: a. Allow two semesters (summer may be counted for one semester) to elap~e before re-enrolling or . . b. Petition the Scholastic Standards Committee for immediate readmittance. This action is initiated with the registrar. The committee can either permit early readmittance with specific conditions required of the s~den! or deny the student's request. Subsequent to the co~tt~e s denial, appeal can be made to the provost, whose dec1s1on IS final. Students ~ho are reinstated are subject to dismissal after any semester should their cumulative grade point average fall below the prescribed Academic Policies • 12 �5. 6. level. A student may continue, with permission of the registrar, on the record as being on probation instead of dismissed, if his/her record has improved during the semester and a 2.00 grade point average is achieved for that semester's courses. Students dismissed a third time will not be reinstated without the permission of the provost. Three semesters must elapse from the time of dismissal before a petition for readmittance is considered. Summer may count for one semester. The Scholastic Standards Committee may, on the recommendation of a school dean, require withdrawal from any course or courses in which preparation, progress, effort or conduct is unsatisfactory and may on the recommendation of the provost or vice president for student programs and services, dismiss students from the University if their background, overall academic accomplishment, conduct or attitude toward their work is deemed unsatisfactory. Credit/No Credit Courses You can enroll in some courses on a credit/no credit basis for which either a grade of CR or NCR is given. To be eligible for this option, you must be in good academic standing. Only one course per semester is permitted and no more than 12 semester credits in such courses may be presented toward degree require- · ments. The credit/no credit option is not available in courses which satisfy major, minor or general education requirements. Make sure you apply at the Registrar's Office if you want to enroll in a graded course under the credit/no credit policy. This option is available during the drop/add time frame and your decision may not be changed after that period. Academic performance at the level of 2.00 or higher is required for the credit (CR) grade. Instructors are not advised of the option to be graded credit/no credit. Certain courses are always offered with a credit/no credit format. The courses have this information in the official course descriptions and course syllabi. The policy and limitations outlined above do not apply to these courses. Credit by Examination There are three examination processes to earn credit for individual courses or general education requirements: Advanced placement, CLEP and departmental examinations. Check out the Admissions section in this catalog for advanced placement and CLEP examination programs. You must be admitted to a degree program to receive credit by examination. A maximum of 30 credits may be earned by examination. CLEP examinations, if available, determine whether credit shall be granted. Departments may provide their own examinations for certain courses. Inquire with the academic department offering the course to find out if a departmental examination is available. If an examination is available, the school dean's written approval to take the examination is required. Check with the school dean for an Application for Credit by Examination and the procedures. The fee is equivalent to the CLEP exams and tuition will not be charged for credits earned. A minimum examination grade of 2.00 is required to earn credit. Course and credit earned by examination is recorded on your transcript with the grade marked as CR. Some universities may not accept this type of credit for transfer.

Academic Policies • 21 �ADMISSIONS Freshmen You may apply to Lake Superior State University any time during the final year of high school. Applications for admission are processed continuously and you will be notified as quickly as possible. A final transcript of courses completed during the final year must be submitted to the Admissions Office promptly after completion of the school year. The offer of admission will be withdrawn if a final transcript is not submitted. An official score report from American College Testing (ACT) is required. ACT scores are used for admission and placement in freshman English and mathematics courses. You should take the ACT on or before October of your senior year. If you have graduated from high school and have not attended any college or university, have an official transcript sent directly from your high school to the Admissions Office. The transcript must include all courses taken starting with grade nine and graduation certification. ACT scores are required if you graduated from high school fewer than 26 months before the date you intend to enter the University. The primary factors in evaluating an application for admission are ACT scores and grade point average starting with grade nine. All courses are included in the average. The average overall high school grade point average for admitted first year students is 2.88 on a scale of 4.0. The average ACT composite score is 21. Secondary factors influencing the admission decision include the number of academic courses an applicant has completed, the trend from year to year of the applicant's grades, class rank and recommendations. All credentials should be submitted at least three weeks before the semester of entry to the Admissions Office. However, if available spaces are filled, the application processing will end earlier. Students denied regular admission may reapply for admission after attending another accredited college and earning at least 30 semester (45 quarter) hours of transferable credit. Evaluation for admission is then based upon the college record rather than the high school record. American College Testing (ACT) American and Canadian students who enroll within 26 months of high school graduation and have not attended another college must take the American College Test. The results should be forwarded to Lake Superior State University (code number 2031). . United States residents applying for academic scholarships at Lake Superior State University must take the ACT by February of their senior year and have results forwarded to LSSU before the April 1 scholarship application deadline. Transfer students entering Lake Superior State within 26 months of high school graduation and having less than 15 semester or 23 quarter hours of credit must also take the ACT. ACT scores are used for admissions and course placement purposes. The ACT is offered nationally five times a year at many locations including our campus. Information bulletins and registration forms for the ACT are available at high school counseling offices or by writing American College Testing Program, P.O. Box 168, Iowa City, Iowa 52243, or by contacting the LSSU Counseling and Testing Center at 906-635-2733. Admissions • 22 �Transfer Students If you are a transfer student, you must possess a 2.00 cumulative college grade point average (GPA) and be eligible to return to your former college(s) unless you have completed their required course work. If you have completed fewer than 30 semester or 45 quarter hours of credit, you must send an official high school transcript or GED scores to our Admissions Office. An official transcript from each college or university where you earned or attempted credit is also required. Official transcripts may be obtained from the high school guidance office and college or university Registrar's Office. Transcripts must be mailed to the Admissions Office at LSSU directly from the issuing institution to be considered official. Transcripts sent via facsimile machine are not considered official. All transcripts become the property of Lake Superior State University and are not returnable. If you have changed your name since attending another institution, you must indicate this when requesting transcripts from high schools or colleges. Each transcript should bear your current name. If you have yet to complete 15 semester hours of college credit and have been out of high school fewer than 26 months, you must submit ACT results. The application and all transcripts should be submitted at least 30 days before the semester of entry. However, if available spaces become filled, processing of applications will end earlier. A transfer applicant denied admission because the college GPA is less than adequate is encouraged to reapply when, after taking additional college courses, the cumulative grade point average improves to greater than 2.0. Freshman Admissions File A complete application file must include the following: A complete Application for Admission. Applications are available at the Admissions Office of Lake Superior State University or at your school guidance office. A non-refundable $20 (U.S.) application processing fee. Your application will not be processed until the fee is paid. Check or money order (not cash) should be made payable to Lake Superior State University. A complete, official transcript of your high school credits or GED score report. A report of your scores from American College Testing (ACT). You should take the ACT before high school graduation. ACT registration materials are available at your guidance office. Enter your social security number on your application. It serves as your permanent student identification number. If you do not wish to provide this number, an alternate number will be assigned. Financial a.id applications will not be processed without your social security number as directed by the agency handling the application. If you do not have a social security number or have lost your social security card, you should contact the Social Security Administration promptly. Canadian applicants should not use their Social Insurance number. A nine-digit number will be assigned to Canadians and other foreign students. Admissions • 23 �Credit Evaluations ?f~icial e~aluation of transfer credit is made after you are accepted for . ad~1ss1?n. This evaJ~ation is made as quickly as possible after admission. We will assist with an unofficial transcript review. Contact the Admissions Office or Registrar's Office for information . . If you p_lan to transfer to LSSU, you can review the course descriptions and ~mve at an idea of the transfer credit you may receive. While making this •?formal ~valuat~on, keep in mind transfer credit is granted for courses substantially equivalent m content, length and prerequisites to LSSU courses. D grades are transferred only under following conditions: 1. A 2.00 or greater cumulative grade point average; 2. Upon initial application being eligible for, or being granted, unconditional admission as a full-time student based on your college or university academic records elsewhere. Courses with D grades accepted as transfer credit may not apply to all departments. Some academic departments do not accept transferred D grades as replacements for courses required as part of the departmental major. In those cases, the departmental major courses involved must be repeated. Courses not accepted by a department may be applied as elective credit where possible. Initial transfer credit evaluations are completed by the Admissions or Registrar's offices. Initial evaluations are subject to review and modification by the dean of the academic school offering the equivalent course. The decision on courses and transfer credit granted may be appealed by the student to the provost. Elective Credit If a course taken at another institution is not offered at the University, elective credit may be granted for that course. Elective credits may be applied toward degree requirements but may not be used to satisfy any specific course requirement. Provisional Credit Credit earned at an institution not listed in the American Council of Education's publication, Accredited Institutions of Post-Secondary Education is granted provisionally. Only after students complete at least 15 semester hours of credit with a cumulative grade point average of 2.00 at LSSU do provisional credits become part of your permanent record. MACRAO Agreement Community college students admitted to the University who have the MACRAO stamp on their transcripts are reco~nized as ha~ing ~ompleted the general education requirements at Lake Supe~1or ~tate Umver_s~ty. If you transfer to Lake Superior State Umvers1~, all conditions of y_o~r selected majors and minors, as well as degree requirements ~ust ~ satisfied.. The minimum number of credits to complete an academic ma1or at LSSU 1s 30 semester hours and varies by department. The m~nimum number of credits required for a major at LSSU varies. Before e~rolhn~, you should contact the academic school offering the major to determine thlS total. Admissions • 24 �Residency Requirement There is no limit to the number of transfer ,redits allowed from other institutions. Bachelor's degree candidates must earn at least 32 of their final 40 credits and at least 50 percent of their departmental required 300/400 level credits in Lake Superior State University courses. Regional center students must earn at least 32 of their final 64 credits and at least 50 percent of their departmental required 300/400 level credits in Lake Superior State University courses. Associate degree and certificate candidates must earn 16 of their final 20 credits in LSSU courses. Former Students Former full-time LSSU students who interrupt enrollment for a semester or more - not including summer - must apply for readmission before the semester of reentry. The readmission application is available from the Admissions Office. There is no application fee. If you attended another college since leaving LSSU, you must submit official transcripts from the college(s) attended and meet the University's transfer student admissions policy. Guest Students If you are regularly enrolled at another college or university, you may be admitted to Lake Superior State University as a guest student. A guest admission is valid for one semester. This may be extended for an additional semester under extenuating circumstances. You may request the extension by submitting another guest application. If you intend to enroll for more than one semester, you must submit an application for admission as a transfer student. Guest student applications may be obtained from the LSSU Admissions Office or any Michigan college or university. You, as a guest student, assume responsibility for determining if LSSU courses apply to your program of study at the college from which you 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 taken grades nine through the end of secondary school. Two grading scales are used when evaluating Ontario secondary school applicants (see table next page). OAC and A-level courses are considered more demanding and their contents more appropriate preparation for university-level courses than G-level courses. B and W-level courses are never included in the grade point average. Secondary factors influencing the admission decision are the number of academic courses completed, the trend from year to year of the applicant's grades and recommendations. Students denied regular admission are encouraged to reapply for admission after attending another accredited university and earning at least 30 semester (45 quarter) hours of transferable credit. The evaluation for admission is then based upon the post-secondary record rather than the secondary record. A report of ACT scores is required from all Ontario secondary school students who have not been out of secondary school for 26 months or completed at least 15 semester hours of college or university credit. ACT scores are used for admission, counseling and placement purposes. Admissions • 25 �Additional information for Ontario secondary school students is available in Informational Handbook for Ontario Students and Guidance Counselors, 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. Grading Scales for Evaluation A-Level & OAC 80-99 70-79 60-69 50-59 G-Level 90.99 80-89 70-79 60-69 50.59 Equivalent Letter Grade A B C D F Ontario Grade 13/0AC Courses If you completed grade 13 or OAC courses before September 1990 you will receive transfer credit at the University for each course in which a final mark of at least 60 percent was earned. Transfer credit is not granted for OAC courses completed after that date. However, completion of OAC courses prepares some students to earn credit through testing. You may earn up to 30 semester hours of credit by achieving satisfactory scores on CLEP tests and departmental examinations. Contact your secondary school guidance office or the LSSU Testing Center for information about CLEP tests and departmental tests offered by the Lake Superior State University. Foreign Students (Non-Canadian) The University makes every effort to meet the needs of foreign students who give evidence of adequate academic preparation. Six months to one year before the desired semester of entry, the student should write to request application materials of the director of admissions. 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. No student should plan to come to LSSU with less than sufficient funds in the hope of obtaining financial assistance upon arrival. No foreign student scholarships are available, and employment opportunities for foreign students are restricted by government regulations. A notarized financial statement is required before Form 1-20 (required to obtain a student visa) 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. 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 Certificate of Eligibility ( Form 1-20) is sent, as required by the US Immigration and Naturalization Service. Foreign students are required to purchase a health and accident insurance policy for each year in residence. The policy is offered by Federal Home Life Insurance Company. Admissions • 26 �Limited English Proficiency The Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) is not a factor in the admission decision. The TOEFL is used only to evaluate a student's English proficiency. English language proficiency is required to take courses at the University and may be satisfied in any of three ways: 1. Scoring 550 or above on the TOEFL administered in most countries. For information regarding this test, write: TOEFL, Box 6151, Princeton, New Jersey, 08541-6151, U.S.A. or any United States Information Service Center; Note: The Admissions Office must receive an official TOEFL score report by June 1 for students wishing to enroll fall semester. The deadline for spring semester is October 1. 2. By completing Level 109 at any ELS Language Center located in the United States. For information about ELS Centers, write: ELS Language Centers, 5761 Buckingham Parkway, Culver City, California, 90230, USA 3. By completing two years of study at a school, college or university located in an English-speaking country. Students not meeting the University's English proficiency requirement must enroll in an English as a second language program. Part-Time Enrollment You may enroll as a part-time student and take up to 11 credits per semester in courses for which you have sufficient academic background. Unless high school students have special permission from their principals, part-time enrollment is limited to those whose high school class have already graduated. As a part-time student not seeking financial aid, degrees or certificates, you do not have to formally apply for admission before enrollment. A Course Registration Form must be completed during the registration period for each semester of attendance. These forms are available through the University's Registrar or Community Services and Development offices. If you decide to become a full-time student (12 or more credits per semester), seek financial aid or elect to seek degree/certificate status, you must complete an application for admission with a $20 non-refundable processing fee, send required official transcripts to the Admissions Office and meet all admission requirements for Lake Superior State University. As a part-time student, you are not assigned a faculty advisor. You are encouraged to seek assistance in selecting courses from the appropriate academic schools. Tech Prep The national tech prep movement is supported at LSSU. As testimony of its institutional support, grades earned in applied high school science and mathematics courses contribute to the high school GPA computed for university admission. Tech prep, with its emphasis upon curricular integration between secondary and post-secondary educational institutions, helps LSSU create a broader array of educational options for our students. We believe tech prep agreements open career doors and professional pathways for high school students in applied sciences, business, allied health and technology. Lake Superior State University has articulation agreements with area high schools to enhance applied and career educational opportunities at the post- Admissions • 27 �secondary level. In tandem with its regional secondary education partners, the University has created pathways to applied education for specified curricula in business and technology. University course credits count toward degree requirements for high school work if certain competencies are met and/ or opportunities to demonstrate skill development acquired in secondary schools exist in these programs. Check with your high school guidance counselor or a Lake State admissions officer to verify whether a specific course in your high school may apply. Additional tech prep articulations with area high schools and community colleges are being developed. Tech prep is an educational outreach effort strongly compatible with the mission of our institution. Applied skills developed in high school set the stage for postsecondary education across a range of career and professional fields available at Lake Superior State University. The Center for Career Planning and Employment Services can provide additional information for perspective students and parents. Dual Enrollment for High School Students Recognizing some talented high school students will benefit from university courses while in high school, selected students may take specific courses at the University. Before registering for any class, a Dual Enrollment Request form must be completed and signed by the high school principal or counselor. The form is available from, and must be returned to, the Registrar /Scheduling Office. High school guidance counselor offices also have the form. Students are eligible to enroll in 100- and 200-level courses only. Some courses require students to pass a placement test before enrollment. Others have one or more prerequisites. A prerequisite is a course that must first be completed before the other course can be taken. You must be at least a junior in high school and have met relevant state examination requirements. If you are no longer enrolled in high school and your high school class has not yet graduated, you are ineligible to enroll as a part-time student until your high school class has graduated. Scheduling Programs Freshman: Each summer, the University offers the Fall Class Scheduling and Parents' Program.

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

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 Superior State University 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).

Since government and politics are found at many levels - international, national, state and local - and all over the world, political science has many facets. All of these facets receive attention in the political science program at Lake Superior State University. The goal of the curriculum is to prepare students interested in government and politics for rewarding careers and lifetimes of learning and civic involvement. To best achieve this goal, three distinct concentrations or tracks are available for students of political science: 1. general political science 2. pre-law 3. public administration. Each concentration has been designed to provide a combination of knowledge and skills that is uniquely appropriate for those with particular career goals. However, choosing one concentration over the others does not limit a student to ~>ne particular career path - each of the concentrations provides a solid groundmg in political science. Bachelor of Arts/Science: Political Science - General The general political science concentration is designed to provide a broad education in political science. It is most appropriate for students who plan to attend graduate school in political science and for those with an interest in government and politics who wish .to get a broad, liberal education as preparation for a career in business, government or journalism. Students who continue their education in graduate school most often pursue careers as professors, researchers, consultants, or government officials. Students who do not pursue graduate study choose from a wide variety of career options in business, government and journalism.

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

Students who choose this option are prepar!ng for careers of public service. Such careers may be pursued through positions m g.o:,rernment agencies at the local, state or provincial, and national levels. Other pos1ttons may be found in nonprofit organizations involved in public concerns, such as Common Cause, the Environmental Defense Fund and the Michigan Health Council. Some of these careers of public service may be pursued with only a bachelor's degree. Others may require completion of a master's degree in public administration or a related field. Senior public administration students will complete an internship as part of their education. Internships allow students to apply the knowledge they have gained in the classroom in an on-the-job setting. They are also valuable for developing a record of experience that will impress prospective employers and help the student become established in a career. Internships, which are arranged with the assistance of an advisor, are available with local, state or provincial, and federal agencies.

Pre-Law No single prescribed course of study can be recommended to all students who plan to attend law school. Students entering law school choose undergraduate majors from a wide variety of fields. However, a pre-law concentration is offered in the political science curriculum, and various law courses are offered as a part of the legal assistant studies program at Lake Superior State University. See the appropriate political science and legal assistant studies program listings. Students interested in a legal career should consult with the pre-law advisor early and often during their undergraduate studies. Pre-law planning, based on consultation with the advisor, will allow the student to make an informed choice of curriculum and of elective courses that will help with the development of the skills mentioned below. The pre-law advisor will also provide pre-law students with a variety of materials about admission to law school, the law school admission test, and careers in law. Arts, Letters and Social Sciences • 98 �A student's undergraduate grade point average and his or her score on the Law School Admission Test (LSAT) are the two most important criteria for admission to law school. Details on admission policies of law schools throughout the country, and the degree to which these schools may use other criteria in addition to grade point average and LSAT score, may be found in the Pre-Law Handbook. This handbook is published by the Law School Admission Council/ Law School Admission Services and is the official law school guide. It may be examined by contacting the pre-law advisor or purchased in many book stores. Although there is no prescribed major which must be taken for admission to law school, some curricula may be better than others in helping students develop skills necessary for admission and for a successful legal career. A broad and challenging undergraduate curriculum is the best preparation. The Pre-Law Handbook stresses that a student's undergraduate education should lead to the development of skills in three areas: (I) the ability to understand and express oneself well in words, (2) the development of a critical understanding of the human institutions and values with which the law deals, and (3) the development of critical thinking abilities. A pre-law student should consider the need to develop these skills in selecting his or her curriculum. In addition, students should consider whether the curriculum they choose can provide an alternative to a career in law should they eventually choose not to pursue a legal career. Associate Degree: Legal Assistant Studies For this degree, students must complete the courses below, the general education requirements for associate degrees, and electives to total 64 credits:• Students completing the associate degree in legal assistant studies may conveniently continue their education in a bachelor's degree in legal assistant studies or other fields such as office administration, human services or political science. Those interested in this option should consult the legal assistant studies advisor.

MfgET is that specialty in the engineering profession that provides expertise to plan the practices of manufacturing, to research and develop the tools, processes, machines and equipment, and to integrate the facilities, personnel and systems for producing quality products with optimal expenditures. Graduates with a B.S. degree in MfgET could be involved in a wide range of areas from applied research to technical management. Whether it be a single gear or a complete automobile engine, the logical set of events that results in a finished product is planned and implemented by a manufacturing engineer. The B.S. degree program in MfgET at LSSU is accredited nationally by TAC/ ABET (Technology Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology). The program emphasis is in the application of robotics, automation, computer-aided manufacturing and intelligent sensors to modern manufacturing. Job titles of graduates from the MfgET program could include: Applications engineer, robotics engineer, systems engineer, industrial technologist, automation engineer, production technologist, and manufacturing engineer. Engineering & Mathematics • 149 �As with all engineering technology programs, the focus of the MfgET program is the applied/ implementation aspect of engineering. Therefore, unlike accredited engineering programs that require four or more calculus courses (or advanced mathematics courses), the MfgET program requires only one calculus course and one statistics course as necessary background for applied engineering. In addition to the traditional training facilities such as manufacturing processes lab, materials lab, electronics lab and digital/microprocessor lab, LSSU is home for a state-of-the-art automated manufacturing lab consisting of several industrial robots, programmable logic controllers (PLCs), machine vision/sensor systems and material handling systems. Class and lab sizes in the technical courses are kept small to allow effective learning and interaction between students and faculty. Communication, teamwork and interpersonal skills are reinforced throughout the curriculum. Cooperative education opportunities exist for those students interested in integrating professional work experience with their engineering technology studies. The culmination of the education in manufacturing engineering technology is a senior design project where the students work in multi-disciplinary teams on projects from industry. Entrance requirements for freshmen students into the program are the same as the general entrance policy into any program at the University. Students can also transfer into the MfgET program after completing an associate degree in a related field from a community college. Such students can typically complete the B.S. degree in MfgET in two more years at LSSU. Please refer to the section on Admissions for further details. Robotics and Automation: Students have the option to complete the S.S. degree in MfgET with a special emphasis in robotics and automation. In order to get this emphasis, students are required to take three specific courses in place of three elective courses already required in the curriculum. Students who meet the requirements for this emphasis will be identified as such on their transcripts. A scientific "high technology" basis in the field of manufacturing engineering technology is evolving. The MfgET program is designed to place LSSU students at the leading edge of this evolution.

Mathematics is one of the most-productive tools yet discovered for unraveling the mysteries of our universe. In some instances, it is the only language in which some ideas can be expressed. Courses offered in this discipline provide the foundation for future work in mathematics. Our teaching objectives are twofold: To give students an understanding of mathematics, and to impart an understanding of the many ways in which this tool may be used. Career opportunities: Mathematicians are employed as teachers in secondary schools, colleges and universities. Many work for government agencies such as the Department of Defense, National Aeronautics and Space Administration and the Department of Commerce. Companies providing computer and data processing services, educational and testing services, and management and actuarial services also employ mathematicians. Graduate study improves opportunities for mathematicians, and students are encouraged and supported in their graduate school plans and placement. Graduate study in numerous fields related to mathematics is possible.

Three-Year Degree Plan for a Bachelor of Science Criminal Justice Following the NRT Degree See Department of Biology Students with a particular interest in state and federal laws enacted to protect our natural resources and federal restrictions on the use of our renewable re. sources should consider obtaining both an associate 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 twoyear NRT associate degree, students would complete the following sequence of courses. This plan assumes MLEOTC certification and 91 additional hours following the NRT degree.

Alternate year offerings will also affect the precise year in a student's program in which he/she can take a particular course. Pre-Professional: Medicine, Optometry, Dentistry and Veterinary Medicine Professional schools, including medical, dental, optometry and veterinary schools, typically do not specifically require any college degree, let alone a specific degree in biology. However, applicants to professional schools are seldom accepted with only three years of undergraduate credit. Further, since career goals often change, pre-professional students at LSSU are encouraged to remain four years and complete the requirements for a baccalaureate degree. A survey of medical and dental school admission requirements for the United States and Canada as published by the American and Canadian Associations of Medical and Dental Colleges shows that courses taken for either the Lake Superior State University bachelor of science or bachelor of arts degree in biology meet the most Science and Natural Resources• 223 �stringent entrance requirements. Therefore, although other ~~ricula may be pursued as pre-professional degrees, most students elect to strive toward a degree in biology. A handbook is available to all LSSU pre-health professional students upon formal admission to our programs. This handbook is designed to assist students in achieving their goal of successful entrance into professional school. Pre-Pharmacy (Transfer Program) The two-year course of study outlined below is a guide for those who plan to apply for admission and transfer to a three-year professional pharmacy curriculum at another institution. In Michigan, such programs are offered at Ferris State University, University of Michigan and Wayne State University. For further information and planning, students are advised to consult catalogs from these or other institutions. Generally, application for admission to a professional pharmacy currirulum must be submitted after completing the first year of prepharmacy studies. Usually, students must have a cumulative grade point average of 2.00 as well as grades of C or better in science and mathematics. Students entering Ferris State University with one year of high school physics may pass a physics proficiency examination in lieu of the year of college physics. If the latter courses are not taken, a sequence of humanities or behavioral science courses is recommended.

Our present environment is the result of the cumulative interaction of many dynamic physical, chemical and biological processes. Geology deals with the dynamic earth, its physical makeup, and its physical and organic history. It involves the study of changes which have taken place and the forces which cause, and are now causing, these changes. By drawing on concepts of biology, chemistry, mathematics and physics, geologists attempt to understand the physical environment in which we live and from which we derive most of the natural resources essential to our civilization. Our civilization requires many non-renewable natural resources in order to survive. Since the turn of the century, we have used more and more of these resources at an everincreasing rate and now have critical supply problems. Our demands upon the environment have significantly changed the earth around us, and, if we are to Science and Natural Resources • 232 �survive, we must live within the constraints imposed by nature. Geologists study and understand these constraints. They apply their knowledge to achieve harmony between the human race and its environment. Geology has a broad scientific base in mathematics, physics, biology and chemistry as well as emphasizing fundamentals of geologic science and geophysics. Increases in the demand for energy fuels and mineral products result in an expansion of opportunities for graduates in geology. Students contemplating careers in geology should, upon graduating, expect to travel, often to remote and uninhabited areas. Most of the jobs entail outdoor field work, often under difficult conditions. Other new fields are now requiring geologists, as are companies and agencies such as NASA and EPA which are involved with extraterrestrial and environmental concerns. The geological environment of Lake Superior State University provides unexcelled opportunities for field study of classic sections illustrating Precambrian stratigraphy, structure, intrusions, and metamorphism and undisturbed Paleozoic sedimentary formations. Proximity to deposits of iron, copper, uranium, dolomite and the Michigan oil and gas fields, as well as other minerals, is an additional advantage. Students are eligible to participate in the department's active research in geology. Entrance Requirements: To qualify for admission to the program in geology, applicants must satisfy University admission requirements as described in the Admissions section of the Catalog. (This information is also included in the Viewbook.) Secondary school academic subjects should include: Three units of English, two units of algebra, one unit of geometry, and one unit of chemistry and physics. One-half unit of trigonometry is highly recommended. Completion of the program may require more than four years for students who do not meet all entrance requirements. For students with college-level achievement, the opportunity will be offered, by means of examination, to obtain course credit or placement into an advanced course.

Lake Superior State University is a co-educational, public institution that recognizes as its primary mission the offering of challenging undergraduate programs and services to students and other constituencies from its region and from the rest of Michigan, North­ ern Ontario and the near Midwest. Our vision is to create and main­ tain a welcoming and personal environment for students, employ­ ees, alumni, and visitors from diverse backgrounds—to be a catalyst for individual and profes­ sional growth within an interna­ tional setting. Our vision is to effectively serve the needs of the region while fulfilling the University's funda­ mental educational mission. Lake Superior State University accomplishes its mission by presenting a personal approach to education through a small, colle­ gial 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 admin­ istrators demonstrate high regard for one another as valued members of the community, thus providing opportunities for emotional and social maturation as well as intellectual growth. Every educational program at Lake Superior State University acknowl­ edges its commitment to an integrated relationship between the professional/technical and liberal arts fields. That relationship fosters the development of stu­ dents as contributing citizens, viable professionals and fulfilled, caring individuals. The University's international setting complements its efforts to present unique educational experiences, expand students' perspectives, and foster their ability to critically evaluate ideas and information. Goals of the University Goal Number I To develop and provide academic programs in the liberal arts and in technical and professional educa­ tion that demonstrate excellence and relevance for the students served by the University. Goal Number II To provide services and program­ ming for students that will comple­ ment their educational experiences and prepare them to live and work in the 21st century. Goal Number III To offer a holistic, caring, and supportive environment for all learners. Goal Number IV To enhance the University's efficiency and effectiveness in order to help fulfill its vision and mission. The Vision Statement, Mission Statement and Goals of the University were adopted by the Board of Trustees May 13,1994. 4 • Lake Superior State University • 1-888-800-LSSU �Cods of Ethics Preamble We believe in a student-centered educational environment which is personal, natural and superior.

Established in 1946 to address the needs of returning World War II veterans and to provide educa­ tional opportunities to the people of the Eastern Upper Peninsula, Lake Superior State University still embodies the essence of the early days. A personal education in a safe and friendly environment remains a hallmark of today's LSSU. Our beautiful 115-acre campus overlooks the Michigan and Ontario twin cities of Sault Ste. Marie, the St. Mary's River, and the world famous Soo Locks. The school is located at the beginning of Interstate 75 which ends in the 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 & 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 contrib­ uting to the University's sense of tradition. This unique architectural blend is a reminder of the "weap­ ons 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 (98,000) allows for an international flavor abounding with the opportunities of a city, and the safety and comfort of a small town.

Lake Superior State University • 1-888-800-LSSU • 7 �Expectations for Student Learning Lake Superior State University utilizes a Student Academic Achievement Plan developed by the faculty to enhance continuous quality improvement and to meet the Assessment Initiative of the 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 respon­ sible citizens: communication skills, mathematics, computer literacy, critical thinking, ethics, aesthetics, cultural diversity, and science and technology. Students who complete the general educa­ tion courses at Lake Superior State University will be able to demon­ strate attributes of the general education outcomes. Students attending Lake Superior State University can expect com­ mitment by the University to document and enhance student learning. Through the assessment process, the University demon­ strates its commitment to improv­ ing 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 partici­ pate in the learning process. 8 • Lake Superior Stale University • 1 -888-800-LSSU �University Talk Terms & phrases you should know. name, and the number of academic credits shown at the right of the column.

You should expect to spend two hours of study or class preparation for each hour spent in class. Sixteen credits are the average load of full-time students. A minimum of 124 credits is required for all baccalaureate degrees; a minimum of 62 hours is required for an associate's degree. 10 • Lake Superior State University • 1-888-800-LSSU, ext. 2211 �Please read the schedule booklet carefully as it has dates for sched­ uling according to class level, dates for tuition payments, and informa­ tion regarding prerequisites, corequisites and other course requirements. It is your responsibility to ensure that the classes you take count toward your degree program. You may, however, be required to take remedial courses (course numbers beginning with "0", such as MA081), which will not count toward graduation. Test Scores: When you apply for admission, you will send your ACT score to Lake Superior State 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 sched­ uling for the next course. Excep­ tions may be made only by the dean of your college or the instruc­ tor of the subsequent class. Repeats: You may repeat a class to bring up a grade and raise your grade point average (GPA). How­ ever, you may not repeat a prereq­ uisite course if you have success­ fully 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. Failed Classes: If you fail a class required for your degree program, you must repeat the class and receive a passing grade. If the failed class is no longer offered because of program changes and/ or course deletions, the academic dean can substitute another similar class. 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 Stu­ dent 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 Registrar's Office, and then get the instructor's signature. Return your Late Add Form to the Registrar's Office. 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). Lake Superior State University • 1-888-800-LSSU, ext. 2211 • 11 �Your record will show an "N" grade and your GPA will not be affected.

If the dean approves the drop, the student must then bring the form back to the registrar for processing. A W 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 develop­ ment. Attendance and participa­ tion provide appropriate opportu­ nities for the evaluation of your progress. You are personally responsible for the satisfactory completion of the course work prescribed by your instructors. This means that you are expected to attend classes regularly, and that you are respon­ sible for the work assigned in class, the material covered in class and for participation in class activities (including discussion and listen­ ing) designed by the instructor as part of the learning experience. However, mere physical atten­ dance should not be a criterion for evaluation of your performance. Participation in an official Univer­ sity function is an excused absence when approved by the provost. You will not be penalized for such participation. You are responsible for work missed and must confer with your instructor on this matter. Complete withdrawal: If you are a full-time student and drop all of your classes during the first eight weeks of the semester, you may be eligible for tuition refund. To receive any refund, fill out a 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 semes­ ters (excluding summer semesters) or the incomplete grade becomes a 12 • Lake Superior State University • 1-888-800-LSSU, ext. 2211 �failure. Your instructor will submit an I Form with the grade sheets and you will receive a copy. 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 particu­ lar course extends beyond a single semester. Academic Standing Table Full- and Part-time Students Academic Probation and Dismissal Policy Cumulative Semester Credits Carried at LSSU 1-18.99 1. Academic probation is in effect if your cumulative grade point average is in the "on proba­ tion" category. 2. If your cumulative GPA falls into the dismissal range, you will be dismissed. 3. After a first or second dis­ missal, you have the following options: a. Sit out two semesters (summer can be counted as one semester) before re­ enrolling. 1.81 1.86 1.91 1.93 1.95 1.97** Cumulative Grade Point Average on Probation less than 1.81 1.41-1.80 1.51-1.85 1.61-1.90 1.71-1.92 1.81-1.94 1.91-1.96 Dismissal Not subject to dismissal 1.40 or less 1.50 or less 1.60 or less 1.70 or less 1.80 or less 1.90 or less *Students will not be dismissed for academic deficiencies until they have enrolled in at least 19 semester credits at Lake Superior State University. **A cumulative grade point average of 2.00 for all credits carried at Lake Superior State University, and a cumulative grade point average of2.00 for all courses required in the student's major and minor is necessary for graduation. Dean's List: By completing 12 or more graded credits a semester with a grade point average of 3.50 or higher, and not having any I or Z grades, you will earn Dean's List honors which acknowledge outstanding academic achieve­ ment. 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). 1.81* 19-25.99 26-40.99 41-55.99 56-72.99 73-87.99 88+ Grade reports: Grades and credit reports are mailed to your perma­ nent home address after each semester. Grade change: You may request your instructor to review and change a grade within two semes­ ters after completion. The instruc­ tor fills in and sends a Grade Change Form to the Registrar's Office. Minimum for Good Standing b. Petition the Scholastic Standards Committee for immediate readmittance. This action is initiated with 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. 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. Lake Superior State University • 1-888-800-LSSU, ext. 2211 • 13 �5. 6. A student dismissed for the third time can not be reinstated without permission of the provost. Three semesters must elapse from the time of dis­ missal before a petition for readmittance is considered. Summer may count for one semester. These courses have this informa­ tion in the official course descrip­ tion and course syllabi. The policy and limitations outlined above do not apply to these courses. The Scholastic Standards Committee may, on the recom­ mendation of a college dean, provost or vice president for Student Programs and Ser­ vices, dismiss students from the University if their academic progress, conduct or attitude toward their work is deemed unsatisfactory. The assumption of the academic contract is that the student does his or her own work: any breach of the contract is considered cheating. The faculty member who detects a student cheating may take appro­ priate action, such as assigning a failing grade for the entire course. 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. 3. Courses that are required by your major, minor, or that are general education courses, can not be taken for credit/no credit. 4. You apply at the Registrar's Office to enroll for a credit/no credit course during the drop/ add period; cannot change to regular grades after the drop/ add period ends. 5. 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. Cheating and Plagiarism: 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 Stan­ dards Committee and the student in writing. The Scholastic Stan­ dards Committee will then conduct a hearing in such a manner that the student is given due process. If the committee decides that dismissal is warranted, the student shall have five school days to appeal that decision to the provost of the University. Credit by Examination There are three examination processes you can take to earn credit for individual courses or general education requirements. They include: 1. Advanced placement 2. CLEP examinations — Inquire a the Center for Student Services, Counseling Center or with the assistant to the provost for academic records for information on the CLEP examinations. 3. Departmental examinations — Inquire with the academic department whether an examination is available. 14 • Lake Superior State University • 1-888-800-LSSU, ext. 2211 �You must be admitted to a degree program to receive credit by examination in which you may earn a maximum of 30 credits. An examination grade of 2.00 is required to earn credit. There is a fee required for both CLEP exami­ nation and departmental examina­ tions. The credits earned by examination appear on your transcript as CR. Some universities may not accept this type of credit for transfer. Transcripts You may have an official copy of your permanent records sent to schools, companies and other places or persons of your choice. Send a written request with your student ID number, name during enrollment and dates of attendance to Lake Superior State University, Registrar's Office, 650 W. Easterday Ave., Sault Ste. Marie, MI 49783. Enclose $5 per request to cover the cost of copying and mailing. Student copy transcripts are issued directly to you. Any financial or other obligations to the University must be cleared before a transcript is released. The Privacy Act Section 438 of the General Educa­ tion Provisions Act, as amended, sets forth the requirements to be met by an educational institution to protect the privacy of students. This act is called the Family 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 inappro­ priate. Educational institutions must also obtain written consent before releasing personally identifi- able 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: The registrar is the hearing officer for the Act and is responsible for implementing the notification requirements and distribution of copies of the policies and proce­ dures. Section 3. Education Records Defined "Education records" means those records which: 1. directly relate to a student or Section 1.

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 Depart­ ment 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. records of institutional, super­ visory, and administrative personnel which: a. are in the sole possession of the maker thereof, and b. are not accessible or revealed to any other individual except a substi­ tute. A substitute is defined as one who performs, on a temporary basis, the duties of the individual who made the record. It does not refer to an individual who permanently succeeds the maker of the record in his or her position. 2. records of the law enforcement unit of the University (Security Department) which are: a. b. maintained solely for law enforcement purposes; and c. 3. maintained apart from the University's educational records; not disclosed to individu­ als other than law enforce­ ment officials of the same jurisdiction, provided that educational records maintained by the Univer­ sity are not disclosed to the personnel of the law enforcement unit. records relating to an indi­ vidual who is employed by the University which: Lake Superior State University • 1-888-800-LSSU, ext. 2211 • 15 �a. are made and maintained in the normal course of business; b. relate exclusively to the individual in that individual's capacity as an employee; and c. are not available for use for any other purpose. d. This paragraph (3) does not apply to records relating to an individual in attendance at the Univer­ sity who is employed as a result of his or her status as a student. 4. records relating to an eligible student which are: a. created or maintained by a physician, psychiatrist, psychologist, or other recognized professional or paraprofessional acting in a professional or parapro­ fessional capacity, or assisting in that capacity; b. created, maintained, or used only in connection with the provision of treatment to the student; and c. not disclosed to anyone other than individuals providing the treatment; provided, that the records can be personally reviewed by a physician or other appropriate paraprofes­ sional of the student's choice. For the purpose of this definition, "treatment" does not include remedial educational activities or activities which are part of programs of instruction at the university. 5. records of the university which contain only information relating to a person after that person is no longer a student at the University. An example of these records would be infor­ mation collected by the Univer­ sity pertaining to the accom­ plishments of its alumni. from the state or a confining illness.) If the student will return to the residence occu­ pied while attending the University or be within 30 miles of campus and is not physically incapacitated during the 45-day compliance period, copies shall not be provided but the right of inspection may be exercised. Section 4. Rights to Inspect and Review Education Records A student who is enrolled at or has attended Lake Superior State University has the right to inspect and review his/her educational records subject to the limitations set forth in Section 3 and 13. The educational record recorded by the student will be provided within a reasonable period of time defined by availability of staff time and the records. Records will be provided no more than 45 days after the request is made. Under this provision, a written request is required (see Section 10A) specifying the record to be disclosed and the reason that a personal inspection of the record cannot be made during the 45-day compliance period. Requests are reviewed on a case-by-case basis to determine if copies are re­ quired as opposed to personal inspection. The right to review educational records includes the right to a response from Lake Superior State University to reasonable requests for explanation and interpretations of the subject record. Section 5. Procedures for Inspec­ tion and Review of Records A written request for the inspection is required for review of educa­ tional records or release of records, where permitted, to third parties.

If the educational record of a student contains information on more than one student, the request­ ing student may review or inspect or be informed of only the speci­ fied information which pertains to the student making the inquiry. The record of disclosures may be inspected by: the student, Univer­ sity officials and assistants respon­ sible for the custody of the records, and university officials authorized in Section 9 and persons outside the University as authorized in Section 10 for the purpose of auditing the record keeping procedures of the institution. A student who believes informa­ tion in the student's educational records is inaccurate, misleading or violates the privacy or other rights of the student may request the University amend such records. Section 13. Limitation on the Right to Inspect and Review Records Section 14. Request to Amend Educational Records The procedures regarding amend­ ment to a student record are: 1. submission of a written request to amend the record in ques- 18 • Lake Superior State University • 1-888-800-LSSU, ext. 2211 �tion to the University office responsible for the content of the record. 2. a written request specifying the information to be amended and the basis for requesting a change in the record. 3. The written request should also suggest the recommended corrective action. 4. The University official respon­ sible for establishing the content of the record in ques­ tion within 14 calendar days will inform, in writing, the student that the record will be amended or the request is denied. If additional time is required to make a decision, the student will be advised of that period required. 5. Amendments and corrections will be completed within 14 calendar days of the date of notice to the students. 6. If the University official responsible for establishing the content of the educational record denies the request to amend the record, the written notice of this decision will advise the student of the right to a hearing. Section 15. Right to a Hearing The Act provides an opportunity for a hearing to challenge the content of a student's educational record to insure that the record does not contain inaccurate or misleading information or violates the privacy or other rights of the student. This procedure can not be used to challenge grades. The following procedure defines the process after the decision of denial. Procedure of Hearing A student desiring a hearing on a denial to amend the record by the official establishing such records must: 1. submit a written request for a hearing to the hearing officer and the registrar. 2. designate in the request: the student's name and identifica­ tion number, date of request, specific information on the record challenged, basis for amending record, summary statement of previous action taken to amend record includ­ ing names of individuals contacted and from whom communications have been received. The hearing officer will, within seven calendar days of receipt of the request for hearing, notify the student of the hearing date, time and location. At least 72 hours notice prior to the hearing will be provided to involved parties. A full and fair opportunity is available to present evidence relevant to the question of whether the record in question is inaccurate, misleading or in violation of the privacy or other rights of the students. The student may be assisted or represented by any individual and expense including an attorney. The hearing officer will render a decision on the appeal within seven calendar days of hearing's conclusion. The decision shall be in writing and based solely upon the evidence presented at the hearing. Tire written decision to the student shall include a summary of the evidence and reasons for the decision. If, as a result of the hearing, the hearing officer rules the informa­ tion is inaccurate, misleading or in violation of any of the student's rights, the record in question will be amended within seven calendar days of the decision. Any explanation placed in the record of the student under this provision shall: 1. Be maintained as a part of the record as long as the record or the contested portion thereof is retained by the University, and 2. Be disclosed by the University, along with the contested record to any party receiving such record. Section 16. Waivers A student may waive any right under the Act. The waiver shall not be valid unless it is in writing and signed by the student. The University may not require that a student waive any right under the Act. This requirement does not preclude the University from requesting such a waiver. An applicant for admission or a student in attendance may waive the right to inspect and review confidential letters and statements of recommendation. The waiver applies to letters or statements only if it is in writing and designated by the student and if: 1. the applicant or student is notified of the names of those providing letters or statements. 2. the documents are used only for the purpose intended. 3. the waiver is not required as a condition of admission or receipt of any service or benefit from the University. A waiver may be revoked, but that action must be in writing and filed with the office in possession of the waiver. If, as a result of the hearing, the hearing officer determines that the record should not be amended, the student shall be informed of the right to place in the education record a statement commenting upon the information and setting forth the reasons for disagreeing with the University's decision. Lake Superior State University • 1-888-800-LSSU. ext. 2211 • 19 �Equal Opportunity Notice of Lake Superior State University's policy of compliance with federal and state law Policy The University is an equal oppor­ tunity employer and educator and prohibits discrimination, including harassment, on the basis of race, color, national origin or ancestry, gender, age, disability, religion, height, weight, sexual preference, marital status, or veteran status. In carrying out this policy, the University complies with all federal and state laws and regula­ tions 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 Discrimi­ nation Act of 1978, Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, Titles VII and VIII of the Public Health Service Act, Age Discrimi­ nation in Employment Act of 1967, Sections 503 and 504 of the Reha­ bilitation Act of 1973, Veteran's Assistance Act of 1972, and Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. Sexual Harassment The University is committed to a policy of nondiscrimination on the basis of gender. Discrimination because of gender includes sexual harassment, which means unwel­ come sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct or communica­ tion of a sexual nature when: i. Submission to such conduct or communication is made a term or condition either explicitly or implicitly to obtain employ­ ment, public accommodations or public services, education, or housing; ii. Submission to or rejection of such conduct or communica­ tion by an individual is used as a factor in decisions affecting such individual's employment, public accommodations or public services, education, or housing; or Process 1. The University encourages all individuals to promptly report instances of discrimination and discriminatory harassment. Once the University has been informed of such behavior, it will take timely and appropri­ ate steps to investigate the problem. At any step of the grievance process, time sched­ ules as outlined in the process may be extended by mutual agreement in writing. 2. With the Grievance Officer, individuals may discuss concerns they may have regarding possible discrimina­ tion or harassment to learn what options are available. 3. Nonretaliation: The University not only prohibits discrimina­ tion, including harassment, but also strictly prohibits any retaliation against any indi­ vidual, who, in good faith, has registered a complaint under this procedure. Any supervi­ sor, agent, or employee of the University who, after investi­ gation, has been determined to have retaliated against any individual for using the 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. 4. All matters discussed in this process will be kept as confi­ dential as possible. 5. If an individual is dissatisfied with the University's investiga­ tion process or resolution, he or she may file complaints of illegal discrimination on the basis of gender (Title IX and Title VI) or disability (Section 504 and Title II of the ADA) with the Office for Civil Rights, U.S. Department of Education, iii. Such conduct or communica­ tion has the purpose or effect of substantially interfering with an individual's employ­ ment, 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 thenhighest potential of human excel­ lence. 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. Grievance Officer The Equal Employment Opportu­ nity Officer/Affirmative Action Officer (EEO Officer) is the desig­ nated grievance officer for dis­ crimination 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 contact Ms. Beverly White, EEO Officer, Lake Superior State Uni­ versity Administration Building, Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan 49783 (906-635-2697) within sixty (60) working days of the action of which the person complains. 20 • Lake Superior State University • 1-888-800-LSSU, ext. 2697 �Chicago, IL 60605. A Title IX, Title VI, Section 504, or Title II ADA complaint must be filed in writing with the Office for Civil Rights no later than 180 days after the occurrence of the possible discrimination. 6. Individuals have the right under the law to seek remedies from the Michigan Department of Civil Rights, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the Office for Civil Rights, U.S. Department of Education or by court action at the same time a grievance is filed under the University's procedure, during or after the use of the grievance process, or without using the grievance process at all. STEP 1: Informal Complaint Any individual (complainant) with a discrimination or harassment complaint, may contact the Griev­ ance Officer in person. The Grievance Officer will speak with the complainant and try to resolve the matter on an informal basis. At Step 1, all information will be kept confidential to the extent possible. STEP 2: Formal Complaint If the problem cannot be resolved at Step 1 within five (5) working days from the date of first contact with the Grievance Officer, the complainant may submit a written complaint on a form provided by the Grievance Officer. The Griev­ ance Officer will help the com­ plainant complete the form if the complainant requests. Within five (5) working days of the receipt of the written complaint, the Grievance Officer will send a Notice of Complaint, a copy of the complaint form, a response form and a copy of this procedure to the respondent. The respondent will submit the completed response form within five (5) working days from the date the complaint is received by the respondent. The Grievance Officer will conduct an investigation. The investigation should be completed within twenty (20) working days after receipt of the response. If the complaint is against the University as the Employer, the Grievance Officer will have thirty (30) days from the receipt of the written complaint to investigate the matter. Within ten (10) working days of completion of the investigation, the Grievance Officer will issue to the complainant and to the respondent a written Determination stating whether the allegations of the complaint are true and any reme­ dial action recommended. At Step 2, information will be kept confidential to the extent possible. STEP 3: Hearing If either the complainant or the respondent is dissatisfied with the Grievance Officer's determination, he or she may request that the matter be referred to a Hearing Panel for a hearing by submitting the form obtained from the Griev­ ance Officer. The request for hearing must be submitted in writing to the Grievance Officer within five (5) working days after receipt of the Determination.

Applications are processed con­ tinuously and you will be notified of a decision within two weeks. To complete your admission file you must submit a final high school transcript and ACT scores (if you graduated from high school within 26 months of entering Lake State). Final high school transcript must verify graduation from an accred­ ited school or passing on the GED. To be considered official, all transcripts must be mailed from your high school guidance office directly to Lake Superior State University. Enter your social security number on your Application for Admis­ sion. It serves as your permanent student identification number. If you do not wish to provide the number, an alternate number will be assigned. Financial aid applica­ tions 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 1999 freshman class was 2.95 on a scale of a 4.0. The aver­ age ACT composite score was a 20.9. 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 Great Lakes Academy dedicated to providing an educational opportu­ nity to students who meet certain profiles. Students who are admit­ ted via University Studies receive additional advising and support services to ensure their success at LSSU. If you are admitted via University Studies, you will be fully entered into your chosen major after meeting these three simple require­ ments: * earn 12 credits at the 100 level or above, * earn a 2.00 GPA, and * be eligible for 100-level math, reading and composition courses. Students denied regular admission may reapply after attending another accredited college and earning at least 19 semester (29 quarter) hours of transferable credit. Evaluation for admission is then based upon the college record. *Although Lake State prefers you take the ACT, we will accept equivalent SAT scores to determine admission. ACT The ACT is offered nationally five times a year at many locations including our campus. Registra­ tion forms are available in high school counseling offices or by contacting the LSSU Counseling and Testing Center at 906-635- 2733. United States residents applying for academic scholarships must have their ACT scores sent prior to the April 1 scholarship deadline. Transfer Students Transfer students must possess a 2.0 cumulative college GPA and be eligible to return to your former college(s). If you have completed fewer than 19 semester (29 quarter) hours of credit, you must send an official high school transcript or GED scores in addition to your college transcript (and ACT scores if you graduated from high school within 26 months of the semester of entry). 22 • Lake Superior State University • 1-888-800-LSSU, ext. 2231 �Contact the Registrar's Office or high school guidance office to have an official transcript mailed to our Registrar's Office. Transcripts sent via facsimile or hand delivered are not considered official. All tran­ scripts become the property of Lake Superior State University and are not returnable. Your complete application should be submitted at least 30 days prior to the semester of entry. Transfer students denied admission may reapply after taking additional courses that raise their overall GPA to above a 2.0. Credit Evaluations Official evaluation of transfer credit is made as quickly as pos­ sible after you are admitted. The Admissions Office will help you with an unofficial transcript review at your request. If a course taken at another institu­ tion is not offered at Lake State, elective credit may be granted for that course. Elective credits may be applied toward degree require­ ments but may not be used to satisfy any specific course require­ ment. Grades less than C- will not transfer. The Registrar's 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. Provisional Credit Credit earned at an institution not listed in the American Council of Education's publication, Accredited Institutions of Post-Secondary Education is granted provisionally. You must complete at least 15 semester hours of credit with a cumulative GPA of 2.00 at LSSU before provisional credits will become part of your permanent record. MAC RAO Agreement Michigan community college students admitted to Lake State who have the MACRAO stamp on their transcript are recognized as having completed the general education requirements at Lake State. Early Admission Policy Students under the age of 18 that apply for early admission to LSSU that do not possess a high school diploma or GED will be counseled on an individual basis by a mem­ ber of the Admissions staff. Early applicants to LSSU must provide an official transcript of all high school work and test scores from either ACT or SAT. If the applicant is unable to pro­ vide the necessary data he or she will be required to take LSSU's placement tests. The results of these tests, along with the high school record, will be used to determine the applicant's eligibility for admission. It is required that the applicant meet with a represen­ tative of the Financial Aid Office as early admission may affect finan­ cial aid eligibility. Residency Requirement There is no limit to the number of transfer credits allowed from other institutions. Bachelor's degree candidates must earn at least 32 of their final 40 credits and at least 50 percent of their departmental required 300/400-level credits in Lake State courses. Regional center students must earn at least 32 credits and at least 50 percent of their departmental required 300/400-level credits in Lake State courses. Associate's degree and certificate candidates must earn 16 of their final 20 credits in Lake State courses. Lake Superior State University • 1-888-800-LSSU, ext. 2231 • 23 �Great Lakes Academy Lake Superior State University has a long-term commitment to the academic and personal success of all our students. The Great Lakes Academy serves three functions which assure students can enroll in and complete the relevant coursework and programs. Access to higher education is offered via the University Studies program. Students from the Eastern Upper Peninsula whose academic background approaches, but does not meet Lake State admission standards, can get their start in higher education via the University Studies program in the Great lakes Academy. As a Univer­ sity 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 Great Lakes Academy pro­ vides academic support for the entire Sault Ste. Marie campus. The academy operates the Learning Center and the Office of Student Accommodations and Support Services (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 instruc­ tion. Occupational education is the goal for many students. They seek workplace-relevant programs designed to open the door to good­ paying technical positions. Such programs also promote the eco­ nomic growth of the entire commu­ nity. The Great Lakes Academy oversees the development and operation of academic programs at the one- or two-year level. Learning Center The Learning center (LC), located in the KJS Library Building, offers free academic support services to all enrolled students at LSSU, at all levels of learning (freshman through senior). • Peer tutoring and supplemen­ tal instruction (also known as organized study groups) are available for many preparatory, 100- and 200-level courses across the disciplines. • The LC's Writing Lab staff can assist you with all types of writing at all levels for all disciplines. • You can enhance your aca­ demic performance by using our state-of-the-art computers equipped with tutorial and instructional software for many LSSU courses, as well as various other programs such as the Internet, Corel and MS Office. With more than 80 programs to choose from, the LC has something for every­ one. • Our student success seminars (on topics such as study skills, test preparation, test anxiety and time management) are available each semester on a first-come, first-served basis. • Study space, tutorial video and audio libraries, and a book­ lending library are also avail­ able. Our friendly staff will be happy to assist you in reaching your aca­ demic goals. Please contact us at 906-635-2849 with any questions. Office of Student Accommodations and Support Services (OSASS) The OSASS Office, located in the KJS Library Building, provides two functions for LSSU students. The office provides support services through the Carl Perkins Voca­ tional Education Grant to students enrolled in associate's or certifi­ cate-level programs. The support services include advising assis- 24 • Lake Superior State University • 1-888-800-LSSU, ext. 2231 �tance, career development, assis­ tance with academics, college and community agency information and referrals, etc. In addition, OSASS is responsible for providing the services and the accommodations for students in the academic and university environment who have a disabling condition. To help develop the necessary accommodations, students must provide current documentation verifying a dis­ abling condition,and register and meet with OSASS staff. The types of accommodations available are specialized testing, audio-taped texts, readers, computer use for essay tests, and a variety of other support services and auxiliary aides. If you have a disabling condition (learning, physical, medical, etc.) or you think you may have a disabling condition, please contact the OSASS Office. Our goal is to assist and provide suppoprt for you, the student, and help you reach your academic goals. Former Students Former full-time Lake State stu­ dents 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 tran­ scripts and meet Lake State's transfer student admissions policy. assume responsibility for deter­ mining 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 appropri­ ate preparation for university-level 7 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 On­ tario, 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"). 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 semes­ ter 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.

Proficiency may be assessed through participation in Lake Superior tate University's English as a Second Language Program. Applicants must satisfy entrance requirements comparable to those of United States students. All credentials written in a language other than English must be accom­ panied by certified English transla­ tions. A notarized financial statement is required before a Certificate of Eligibility (Form 1-20) 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 state­ ment is grounds for dismissal. Beyond the financial statement, the student's sponsor or sponsoring agency must provide a letter assuming responsbility for all the student's educational and living expenses while studying in the United States. Foreign student scholarships are available. Em­ ployment opportunities for foreign students are restricted by U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service regulations. Canadian students commuting daily may be exempt from provid­ ing financial statements. Applicants should not consider themselves admitted to the Univer­ sity until they have provided all documents required by the Univer­ sity and have received an official letter granting admission. Follow­ ing the letter granting admission, the Form 1-20 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. Limited English Proficiency English language proficiency is required to take courses at the University and may be satisfied in any of five ways: Students not meeting Lake State's English proficiency requirement must enroll in English as a second language program. Part-time Enrollment You may enroll as a part-time student and take up to 11 credits per semester in courses for which you have sufficient academic background. A part-time student not seeking financial aid or a degree or certificate does not have to formally apply for admission. As a non-admitted part-time student, you are not assigned a faculty advisor. You are encour­ aged to seek assistance in selecting 26 • Lake Superior State University • 1-888-800-LSSU, ext. 2231 �courses from the appropriate academic schools. • enroll in 100- or 200-level courses; Current high school students should refer to the section regard­ ing dual enrollment. • 300-400 courses are available with department approval; and • be sure to take any required placement tests or prerequisite courses. (A prerequisite is a course that must be completed before the other course can be taken.) Tech Prep The national tech prep movement is supported at Lake State. As a testimony of its institutional support, grades earned in applied high school science and mathemat­ ics courses contribute to the high school GPA computed for univer­ sity admission. Tech prep, with its emphasis upon curricular integra­ tion between secondary and post­ secondary educational institutions, helps Lake State create a broader array of educational options for our students. Lake Superior State University has articulation agreements with area high schools to enhance applied and career educational opportuni­ ties at the post-secondary level. In tandem with its regional secondary education partners, Lake State has created pathways to applied education for specified curricula in business and technology. Univer­ sity course credits count toward degree requirements for high school work if certain competen­ cies are met. Check with your high school guidance counselor or a Lake State admissions officer to verify whether a specific course may apply. Dual Enrollment for High School Students Knowing that some talented high school students will benefit from taking university courses while in high school, qualified students are challenged to take coursework at Lake State. Before you register for any class, be sure you meet the following criteria: • • complete the Dual Enrollment Form (available at the LSSU Student Service Center or your high school guidance office), be at least a high school junior, Placement Testing ACT scores will be used to place students in freshman English and mathematics courses (see table).

Policy: Tuition/Fees All tuition and fees are payable according to established due dates. Students delinquent in payment of a financial obligation are subject to enrollment cancellation until all amounts due the University are paid or satisfactory arrangements are made with the Business Office. The director of the Student Service Center will deny registration to anyone who is delinquent in any obligation to the University. Additionally, University services will not be provided until financial obligations are met. Registration is not complete until fees are paid. A check or draft returned to the University and not honored by the bank constitutes nonpayment and results in cancellation of registra­ tion. Auditing: Audits are designed for someone who wishes to take a particular course for its content but not be graded for the course. An LSSU student may register for any course on an audit basis provided all prerequisites have been satisfied. The coursework for auditing a course is determined in conjunc­ tion with the faculty member for the course. Auditing courses do not count as part of a student's official class load for determining financial aid eligibility, veteran's benefits or any other enrollment certification requirements. Students may change from an audit to credit status during the first week of classes and only with the concurrence of the faculty member for the course. This change must be processed through the Registrar's Office for grading purposes. Students are assessed full tuition and fees for the course and an AU grade is recorded on the student's official transcript. Michigan residents who are 60 years of age or older may audit undergraduate courses compli­ ments of LSSU with no record kept of their audits. Other courses: A few courses have special fees.

Pick up an Official Withdrawal Request Form at the Fletcher Center for Student Services and gather the required signatures (shown on the form). 2. If you have benefited from federal financial aid, you may be required to complete an Exit Refunds are made in accordance with the above schedule. After your completed Withdrawal Form is accepted, your University charges will be reduced according to the schedule show. If you have not received any form of financial aid and there is a credit balance on your account, you will be sent a refund check. If you have received aid, your aid may have to be returned to the appropriate source. You may owe money! Financial Aid Return Policy: Applies to students receiving federal and state financial aid including loans and scholarships, and institutional and private aid. • First, your account will be credited according to Lake Superior State University's Refund Policy (on or prior to the 38-day withdrawal period). • Then, your financial aid will be reduced in direct proportion to the length of time you re- 32 • Lake Superior State University • 1-888-800-LSSU �mained enrolled, up to 60 percent of the semester. • • • PLEASE NOTE: If you with­ draw, you could owe the University and!or the federal government money. If there is still a credit on your account, the amount of the credit will then be applied to the remaining financial aid funds until the credit has been reduced to zero. Any remaining refund due you, after all funding sources have received the appropriate credit, will be refunded di­ rectly to you. There may be an administrative fee for early withdrawal. For example: If there are 105 days in the semester and you withdraw on the 58th day, your federal aid would be reduced to 55% (58/105). If your total cost to attend was $2200 and it was paid with federal aid of $1200 and a personal pay­ ment of $1000, your federal aid would be reduced to $660. You could owe the University $540. Attendance Policy for federal financial aid recipients: Regular class attendance is required for students receiving federal financial aid. If you are reported for nonattendance in any or all of your courses, your financial aid may be withdrawn. Leaving school: For information about leaving the University see Withdrawal. Non-attendance of classes or checking out of 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 an official With­ drawal Request Form is filed with the Student Service Center. Transcript fee: One official tran­ script is provided to all students, either before or after graduation. There is a $5 fee for each additional transcript. Delinquent accounts: Students with delinquent accounts may be removed from class, have their diploma withheld, and/or have transcript requests denied.

The doors of opportu­ nity are seldom closed because of a financial condition. You may qualify for a combination of University, state and federal programs—a financial aid pack­ age— which may include a combi­ nation of scholarship, loan, grant, and/or work assistance. Full-time undergraduates take priority in aid awards. Carefully consider the full cost of your education, parental support, and savings — including summer employment — to determine your need for financial aid. If you possess excellent high school or community college grades, you are encouraged to apply for scholar­ ships 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 attend­ ing the University, availability of financial aid and application procedures. Applying: You can apply for financial aid by obtaining a FAFSA form from your high school counselor or contacting the Finan­ cial Aid Office, Lake Superior State University, 650 W. Easterday Ave., Sault Ste. Marie, MI 49783. You may also file your FAFSA on-line at www.fafsa.ed.gov. Once your FAFSA is received by LSSU and your admission is complete, you will receive an "Offer of Financial Aid" letter from the Financial Aid Office. Scholarship requirements: Incom­ ing freshmen must have a mini­ mum of 3.0 to qualify for an LSSU scholarship. The recipient of any award must be a full-time student carrying 12 academic hours or more each semester (except regional center recipients). Scholarship recipients are usually selected based on competitive examinations, scholastic records and/or financial need. The Ameri­ can College Test serves as the University's primary test for scholarship applicants. Test results must be on file by April 1. All freshmen who are Michigan residents are encouraged to com­ plete the Michigan Educational Assessment Program (MEAP) test to determine eligibility for addi­ tional state aid. Notification of scholarship awards begins November 1 for students admitting for the following fall semester. You and your parents or guardian must complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to apply for financial assistance. The form must be received by the processor before February 21 (incoming freshmen) or March 21 (returning students) to assure priority aid consideration. Satisfactory Academic Progress Requirements for the Retention of Financial Aid If you are receiving anyform of financial aid, you must meet these satisfactory academic progress require­ ments to retain your aid each semester. Financial aid regulations require that a student must make satisfactory progress to remain eligible for financial aid. Financial aid programs affected by this policy are Federal Pell Grant, Federal Perkins Loan, Federal College Work-Study, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportu­ nity Grant, Federal Direct Loans, Federal PLUS Loans, State of Lake Superior State University • 1-888-800-LSSU, ext. 2678 • 35 �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 cumula­ tive grade point average (GPA) of at least: Cumulative GPA Credits Attempted* 1.70 0-25 credits 1.86 26-55 credits 1.93 56-87 credits 1.97 88 or more credits *Semester hours (includes transfer credit hours) Michigan and Institutional Scholar­ ships, Grant, Loan and Work Programs. Transfer Students The requirements for transfer students are based on the number of full-time equivalent credits transferred to LSSU. For example, a student with 68 transfer credits must earn a G.P.A. of 1.93 or higher. 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 requirements or the student will have his/her financial aid sus­ pended. Students that have been enrolled for more than one semes­ ter will not have a probationary semester and must meet the schedule above each semester. Quantitative Standards Students are expected to complete a two-year degree in six semesters, a four-year degree in 12 semesters, a teacher's certification program in three semesters and a master's degree in four semesters of full-time study. Eligibility is terminated after sue semesters (associate's), 12 semesters (bachelor's), three semesters (teacher's certification), 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: Undergraduate Students Fall/Spring/Summer Semester Enrolled Credits 12+ 11 10 9 8 7 6 5-1 Credits to be Earned (75%) 9 8 7 6 6 5 4 100% Graduate Students Fall/Spring/Summer Semester Enrolled Credits 10+ 9 8 7 6 5 4-1 Credits to be Earned 7 6 6 5 4 4 100% If a student does not satisfactorily meet the quantitative standard, he/she will be placed on financial aid probation for the next semester. If a student fails to meet the standard for the second consecu­ tive 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 1 grades or other record changes warrant a reinstate­ ment, the student must present a written notice from the Registrar/ Scheduling Office to the Financial Aid Office by the end of the 36 • Lake Superior State University • 1-888-800-LSSU, ext. 2678 �semester following cancellation of aid. Scholarship Renewal Requirements In addition to the quantitative standards, scholarship winners must meet the following GPA requirements to maintain their awards: Financial Aid Suspension No aid will be granted once a student's eligibility is suspended, including but not limited to the Federal Direct Loan, Perkins Student Loan, Federal Direct PLUS Loan, College Work Study, Federal Supplemental Educational Oppor­ tunity Grant, Federal Pell Grant, Michigan Competitive Scholarship, Michigan Adult Part-Time Grant, Michigan Educational Opportunity Grant, Michigan Work Study, and Institutional Scholarships and Grants. To remove financial aid suspension status, a student must have at­ tained the minimum cumulative grade point average and credit earned requirements while not receiving financial aid processed through the University. Successful students must then advise the Financial Aid Office in writing that they meet the requirements for reinstatement.

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 mini­ mum required for on-campus residency. In such a situation, there are two alternatives: a) withdrawal from the dormitory or b) with- drawal from the University. An example is a student whose financial situation changed sud­ denly during the year (perhaps due to the death of a parent) and who applies for assistance after the aid program is depleted.

The Student-Faculty Relations Committee provides a forum for resolving conflicts between students and faculty members which may arise with classroom or course-related activi­ ties, policies or procedures. The committee will not consider cases involving ADA compliance or any other matter it deems inappropri­ ate. 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 representa­ tives (at least one from each college) and four student represen­ tatives. 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 semes­ ter), the student should at­ tempt to resolve the issue at the student/faculty, depart­ ment 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 ap­ proach the Student-Faculty Relations Committee directly. 62 • Lake Superior State University • 1-888-800-LSSU, ext. 2273 �2. 3. 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 in­ cluded as well. The written appeal should be submitted directly to the committee chair. The Executive Vice President and Provost's Office will know the name of the committee chair. 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 clarifica­ tion. 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 extenu­ ating 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. 5. The committee will keep no permanent records. Lake Superior State University • 1-888-800-LSSU, ext. 2273 • 63 �Computer Services LSSU Computing offers a variety of services and programs for students.

Lake Superior State University ° 1-888-800-LSSU, ext. 2688 • 67 �Degree Requirements Lake Superior State University offers bachelor's (also called baccalaureate) degrees, associate's degrees and certificates, as well as a master's degree in business administration. These degrees are offered in a wide variety of aca­ demic programs. Each academic department has a set of specific courses and other requirements for each of its degree programs. These are stated elsewhere in this Cata­ log — either by curriculum or in one of the college sections. How­ ever, some requirements are of a general nature, applying to all such degrees. These are discussed below. Bachelor's degrees: A minimum of 124 credits is required for a bachelor's degree. Some programs require more than this number of credits. Requirements are of five categories: general education, bachelor of arts or bachelor of science, departmental, competency in mathematics and writing (required for students entering before fall 1997 and new transfer students entering before fall 2000), and residency. Associate's degrees and certifi­ cates: A minimum of 62 credits is required for an associate's degree. EN110, 205 or 210 or 215, and speech, plus six other general education credits, are required. Competency in mathematics is required for an associate's degree. There is also a residency require­ ment. Minors: Academic minor pro­ grams are also offered in a wide variety of disciplines. A minimum of 20 credits is required for a minor, and some require more. A minimum of she credits from LSSU is required. There is a minors section in this Catalog. Electives Elective courses are chosen to obtain credit beyond that of specified requirements. Free electives refer to courses you may select completely of your own choice. Designated electives refer to courses selected from a list specified by the department. BA and BS Requirements (8 credits) Bachelor of arts degree: One year of a modern language other than English (if taken at LSSU, this would be FR151-2 or 251-2; GN1412; NA141-2; NA201-2; SP161-2 or 261-2). One-half year of two different languages will not meet this requirement. Bachelor of science degree: At least eight semester credits, in addition to courses used for general education requirements, from categories of social science, natural science or mathematics. Residency Requirements Bachelor's degree candidates must earn at least 32 of their final 40 credits and at least 50 percent of their departmental required 300/ 400 level credits in courses offered by Lake Superior State University. Regional Center students must earn at least 32 credits and at least 50 percent of their departmental required 300/400 level credits in courses offered by Lake Superior State University. Associate's degree and certificate candidates must earn 16 of their final 20 credits in such courses. For a minor, you must earn at least six of the required credits in such courses. Multiple Majors You may earn more than one major by completing all require68 • Lake Superior State University • 1-888-800-LSSU, ext. 2012 �merits of each desired major program. Before graduation, you must file a Degree Audit approved by the appropriate college dean and/or school chair for each major. The double major must be granted as one combined degree such as: bachelor of science in accounting and business administration. Multiple Degrees: If you desire to earn more than one baccalaureate degree, you must complete all program requirements for the additional degree(s) as certified by the appropriate dean, comprising a minimum of 32 additional LSSU credits for each additional bacca­ laureate degree from Lake Superior State University. Those earning a bachelor's degree from LSSU and who desire an associate's degree, must complete all requirements for the associate's degree program at the time they are completing the bachelor's degree requirements. Students earning an associate's from LSSU who desire an addi­ tional associate's degree must complete all requirements for the additional degree, including 16 additional credits of which 12 must be from courses offered by Lake Superior State University. Additional degrees for graduates of other universities: Students who hold a bachelor's degree at another accredited institution, and who desire a bachelor's degree from LSSU, must complete all requirements of an approved degree schedule including at least 32 additional credits in courses offered by LSSU. The degree schedule must be approved by the major school chair, college dean and assistant to the provost for academic records. You should initiate the approval process with the school chair at the time of or before commencing study toward the additional degree. The sched­ ule elected shall consist mainly of minor, major and cognate courses. Courses considered essential to the degree but not previously elected may, at the option of the school chair and/or college dean, be required even though the total may exceed 32 credits. Lake Superior State University general education requirements are considered complete if you earned a bachelor's degree at any United States accredited university or an honors bachelor's degree from an accredited Canadian university. If you earned a bachelor's degree or associate's degree at another accredited institution and desire an associate's degree from Lake Superior State University, you must complete all requirements of an approved degree schedule including at least 16 additional credits in courses offered by LSSU. The degree schedule process is identical to that described above for an additional bachelor's degree. The schedule elected shall consist mainly of major and cognate courses. Courses considered essential to the degree but not previously elected may, at the option of the school and college, be required even though the total may exceed 16 credits. Competency in Mathematics for students entering before fall 1997 and new transfer students entering before fall 2000. Those seeking associate's or bachelor's degrees are required to demonstrate competence in mathematics at approximately the level of basic algebra. Both the Counseling and Testing Center and the School of Mathematics and Computer Science administer the minimum competency examina­ tion. Students can satisfy the mathematics competency require­ ment in the following ways: (1) score 17 or higher on the interme­ diate algebra placement examina­ tion given at the time the student enters the University, (2) pass the competency examination, (3) Lake Superior State University • 1-888-800-LSSU, ext. 2012 • 69 �complete the LSSU mathematics courses, MA086, or higher, or (4) obtain an adequate score (19 or higher) on the mathematics compo­ nent of the ACT test or a score of 500 or higher on the mathematics component of the SAT test. Transfer students who have previously completed a course equivalent to MA092, with a grade of 2.00 or higher, or a higher-level math class (specifically excluding MA207) will have satisfied the University's mathematics gradua­ tion requirement. You are required to complete mathematics competency (by course or exam) during the first 56 credits earned. If you reach the 56credit limit without competency, you shall enroll in an appropriate mathematics courses until passed and be limited to a maximum of 13 credits per semester, including the course, until competency is accom­ plished. Transfer students entering LSSU with 40 or more transfer credits shall complete mathematics competency during the first 20 credits earned at LSSU or be subject to the enrollment restric­ tions stated above. Competency in Writing for students entering before fall 1997 and new transfer students entering before fall 2000. The writing competency examina­ tion demonstrates a student's ability to read and write critically at a level deemed appropriate for undergraduate work. It will be given at the end of the sophomore English course (EN205, EN210 or EN215) as a "rising junior test" before beginning upper-level courses with disciplinary writing emphasis. The test consists of a read/respond format in which a passage is supplied and students use it as the basis for the essay. At least three topics from across the curriculum will be available for each test. You will have three hours to complete the test. The rising junior test will be given during the final exam week of EN205, EN210 or EN215 at scheduled group times in place of the final examination. All other test sessions must be scheduled by the Counseling and Testing Center located in South Hall. The test is a University graduation requirement and will be graded pass/repeat by the faculty using criterion-referenced scoring methods. Students who must repeat the examination may retake the test one time at the Counseling and Testing Center after one month. Students who do not pass the test before junior level (56 credits) must enroll in EN091, an intensive review of English, and will be limited to 13 semester credits, including EN091, until satisfying the requirement. Transfer students, having com­ pleted the equivalent of the general education English sequence, must take the competency examination before beginning their second semester. Transfer students who do not pass the test before their senior year (88 semester credits) must enroll in EN091 and will be limited to 13 semester credits, including EN091, until satisfying the requirement. Transfer students on a 3+1 program must take the test before the beginning of their first semester. Arrangements will be made, if possible, to administer the test on the campus of the institution from which students are transferring. Waiver of Competency Requirements The mathematics and/or writing competency graduation requirement(s) will be waived only on the basis of having a certifiable learning disability or neurological medical condition. Students must be certified by a licensed psycholo­ gist or neurologist as having a 70 • Lake Superior State University • 1-888-800-LSSU, ext. 2012 �substantial disability in the learn­ ing process. Those potentially eligible for a waiver are required to initiate their appeal through the Office of Student Accommodations and Support Services (OSASS). Those students who obtain the necessary certification must provide OSASS with documentation of such. OSASS shall then notify the assistant to the provost for aca­ demic records of the waiver. Enrollment restrictions stated above, as appropriate, continue in effect until a student has provided this documentation to the OSASS. General Education (33 credits) — for students entering before fall 1997 and new transfer students entering before fall 2000. General education consists of courses required regardless of specialized areas of study. The purpose of general education is to develop skills and knowledge useful for all students, regardless of their career choices. Require­ ments in English and speech enhance fundamental skills of writing and speaking. Require­ ments in humanities, natural sciences and social sciences broaden intellectual perspective and familiarize students with fundamental fields of human knowledge. (excluding HU) are allowed to count for this requirement. Four credits of one modern language other than English and four credits of another cannot be used. Social Science (8) - Any combina­ tion of courses in economics (EC); geography (GG), except GG106 and GG108; history (HS), political science (PS), psychology (PY) or sociology (SO) for which credit adds to eight semester credits. Natural Science (8) - At least one course from each of the following two categories: life sciences BL105,109,122, 204; or both NS103 and 104; physical sciences CH105,108,115, GE111,112,114; GG106,108; NS101,102,105,107, 110,119; PH221, 222, 231. If the total credits of these two laboratory courses is less than eight, non-laboratory science courses may be applied toward the requirement if the school chair or college dean evaluates the course as appropriate. Note: Transfer students should refer to the Admissions section of this Catalog for an explanation of the MACRAO agreement as it applies to general education requirements. General Education — for new students entering fall 1997 or later Transfer students are under the old general education requirements if they entered before fall, 2000. English (6 credits) - EN110 and EN205, EN210 or EN215 Communication Skills Speech (3) - SD101. EN110 Freshman Composition Humanities (8) - any HU course or courses, or any of the courses AT250, 251; FR251; GN241; MU110, 111, 112,113,140,141,160,161, 220, 221, 250, 251, 260; NA240; PL204, 205, 302; SD251, 252; or SP261, 305, 306; any second-year modem language course other than En­ glish; with a maximum offour semester credits per discipline or total in languages other than English Select one course from the follow­ ing three courses, EN205, EN210, EN215 SD101 Four additional communication intensive courses from the follow­ ing list.

Failed Classes If you fail a class required for your degree program, you must repeat the class and receive a passing grade. If the failed class is no longer offered because of program changes and/or course deletions, the academic dean can substitute another similar class. Exceptions to Graduation Requirements Exceptions to specific general education requirements may be granted only by the Scholastic Standards Committee. Such exceptions are infrequently made. A petition for exceptions to general education requirements is initiated with the assistant to the provost for academic records. Course substitutions and waivers of departmental degree program requirements may be granted only by the dean of the college offering the program (major or minor). Normally, you will graduate under the program degree requirements in effect and published in the Catalog at the time you are admit­ ted into the given degree program, provided enrollment at the Univer­ sity is continuous. If enrollment is interrupted, or if you select a new major, you must satisfy program requirements in effect at the time you reenter or officially change to the new major. If program require­ ments are revised during your enrollment, you will be allowed to graduate under the new require­ ments providing you can meet such requirements in their entirety. The University reserves the right to change the requirements for graduation at any time as a means of keeping pace with educational developments affecting the various curricula. As such changes are made, they may, at the discretion of the University, be applied to stu­ dents already enrolled. In such cases, reasonable and prudent effort will be made to provide the benefit of the new educational program without imposing undue hardship. Lake Superior State University • 1-888-800-LSSU, ext. 2012 • 73 �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 speci­ fies 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 pro­ gram. 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 Scho­ lastic Standards Committee. Such exceptions are infrequently made. A petition for exceptions to general education requirements is initiated with the assistant to the provost. 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 pro­ gram 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 commence­ ment exercises unless excused by the assistant to the provost. Stu­ dents completing degree require­ ments 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 require­ ments specified on the Degree Audit are fulfilled, the college dean and/or school chair and assistant to the provost give a final ap­ proval. Names of these graduates are then sent to the president for approval by the Board of Trustees. Subsequently, a diploma is pro­ vided 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 univer­ sity, 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. 74 • Lake Superior State University • 1-888-800-LSSU, ext. 2012 �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.

The honors degree designation is indicated on the student's diploma and is distinct from graduating with honors (see Graduation with Honors). 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 schol­ ars characterized by strong stu­ dent-faculty interaction around the world of ideas. The honors pro­ gram 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 inter­ view 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.

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. Depart­ ment 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; inter­ views 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 environ­ ment 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 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 plan­ ning 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 indus­ try regulations; assists attorneys with preparation for collective bargaining, contract negotiations, administrative hearings or trials. Criminal Law Legal Assistant — conducts comprehensive inter­ views of defendants, law enforce­ ment, victims, and/or witnesses; performs case and field investiga­ tions; locates and coordinates usage of applicable experts; prepares motions, briefs or other legal 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 assis­ tants). 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.

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.

Program Description: Career Descriptions: Environmental chemists seek to understand and address environ­ mental 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 assess­ ment, air and water chemistry. By seeking solutions for such chemi­ cally based environmental prob­ lems as water pollution, hazardous wastes, and acid rain, environmen­ tal 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/second­ ary 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 require­ ments 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 addi­ tional information Environmental Field Technician — responsible for groundwater sampling, soil sampling and other field efforts.

For more information on the components of this program, please see the director of the Fine Arts Program. 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 interna­ tional 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, entertain­ ment and communication indus­ tries; 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 invari­ ably 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 sympho­ nies 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 expres­ sion. 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 our­ selves.

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 forma­ tion of mountains, volcanoes and other features of the Earth's surface. Geologists attempt to understand our physical environ­ ment 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 environ­ mental 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 contamination. Geologists study the constraints imposed by nature and apply their knowledge to achieve harmony between the human race and its environment. Energy Fuels Exploration Geolo­ gist — searches worldwide for petroleum, gas, coal. Career opportunities are with integrated energy fuels exploration companies and government agencies. Mineral Exploration and Produc­ tion 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 inter­ preting the geologic record. Career opportunities are with energy companies, museums, universities, government agencies. Geophysicist — uses non-destruc­ tive methods to determine 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, consult­ ing 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 contamination of soils and solid waste disposal. Career opportuni­ ties 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. 148 • Lake Superior State University • 1-888-800-LSSU, ext. 2267 �Geology Geology Bachelor of Science Geology GE111 GE112 GE215 GE216 GE221 GE222 GE321 GE331 GE351 GE352 GE436 GE422 GE423 GE461 GE471 GE472 (60 Credits) 4 Physical Geology I 4 Physical Geology II 4 Historical Geology Structural Geology & Geologic 4 Graphics 4 Crystallography and Mineralogy 4 Mineralogy & Petrography 3 Optical Mineralogy 4 Introduction to Geophysics 3 Invertebrate Paleontology I 3 Invertebrate Paleontology II 6 Field Geology Igneous and Metamorphic 3 Petrography 3 Sedimentary Petrography 4 Stratigraphy & Sedimentation 4 Economic Geology I 3 Economic Geology II (31-32 Credits) Support Courses 5 CH115 General Chemistry I CH116 4 General-Chemistry II CS101 Intro, to Microcomputer Applications or 3 CS121 Survey of Computer Science MA207 Principles of Statistical Methods 3 r MA111 College Algebra and MA108 Trigonometry and Vectors for Physics and MA112 Calculus for Business and Life Sciences 8-9 or MA140 Precalculus Mathematics and MA112 Calculus for Business and Life Sciences or MA151 Calculus I and MA152 Calculus II PH221 Elements of Physics I and PH222 Elements of Physics II 8 or r PH231 Applied Physics for Engineers and Scientists I and PH232 Applied Physics for Engineers and Scientists II Free elective credits and general education requirements must be completed so that at least 124 semester credits have been earned.

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 indus­ try regulations; assists attorneys with preparation for collective bargaining, contract negotiations, administrative hearings or trials.

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 occupa­ tions where quantitative skills are needed; one of the largest employ­ ers of mathematics is the National Security Agency. Often a minor field of study (such as computer science) provides the supporting credential for entry-level jobs. Actuarial and Business Applications: The actuarial and business applica­ tions option combines mathemati­ cal knowledge with quantitative business applications. The result is a very marketable degree that provides many exciting career opportunities for graduates. A 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 accountingfinance. 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 under­ graduate 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 agen­ cies such as the Bureau of Labor employ statisticians to monitor the consumer price index, employment statistics and the like. Industries use statisticians in their efforts to forecast future needs, to implement quality control, and to design information-gathering strategies. Research Assistant — mathemati­ cians 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.

Program Description: Career Description: Political science is the systematic study of government, politics and public policy. It is one of a number of liberal arts majors that prepare students for a broad range of career opportunities. With the skills they acquire in writing, speaking, analysis, critical thinking and leadership, political science majors are able to pursue a wide variety of career options (some of which require additional education). Political science majors choose one of three tracks or concentrations: general political science, pre-law, or public administration. Each concentration provides a combina­ tion of knowledge and skills especially appropriate for those with particular career goals. However, choosing one concentra­ tion over the others does not limit you to a particular career path — each of the tracks provides a solid grounding in political science and a broad liberal arts background. General education requirements and sufficient elective credits must be completed so that at least 124 semester credits have been earned. Other Qualifications — Graduate degrees are required for some positions; thus, a law degree is required for work as an attorney and a Ph.D. is required for appoint­ ment to permanent teaching and research positions in colleges and universities. A sample of typical occupations include: Attorney — represents clients in private practice, in small or large law firms; represents corporations, labor unions, trade associations or governments as a salaried em­ ployee; serves as a prosecutor or public defender; serves as a judge. Requires the completion of a law degree following college. Bachelor of Science Bachelor of Arts Tracks: General Pre-Law Public Administration Career Choices: ^ co Attorney ^ Government Employee Political Professional Journalist ™ Government Employee — works for government agencies at the federal, state or provincial, or local level, or for international organiza­ tions, such as the United Nations.

Program Description: Career Description: Most pharmacy schools require students to take two years of pre­ pharmacy preparation prior to being admitted to their four-year 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 mid-way through your second pre-pharmacy year. Community Pharmacist — prac­ tices in local pharmacies, profes­ sional 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, pre­ pharmacy requirements are also subject to change. The modifications in professional pharmacy curricula, combined with the variability in pre-phar­ macy requirements, make it imperative for a pre-pharmacy student to determine the require­ ments for admission at the schools he or she desires to attend. A pre­ pharmacy curriculum at Lake Superior State University can then be designed to help you obtain your goals. It is your responsibility to contact the directors of admis­ sions 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, DVA employ pharmacists for technical writing, science reporting, directing manu­ facturing 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. Depart­ ment 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 com­ puterized research; drafts legal pleadings and documents; inter­ views 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 environ­ ment 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 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 plan­ ning 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 indus­ try regulations; assists attorneys with preparation for collective bargaining, contract negotiations, administrative hearings or trials. Criminal Law Legal Assistant conducts comprehensive inter­ views of defendants, law enforce­ ment, victims, and/or witnesses; performs case and field investiga­ tions; locates and coordinates usage of applicable experts; prepares motions, briefs or other legal 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 assis­ tants). Real Estate Legal Assistant conducts title searches; drafts real estate closing documents; monitors compliance with title, survey, disclosure and/or regulatory requirements; schedules and participates in real estate closings. Note: The above career descriptions are only a sampling of the numerous avenues available to legal assistants.

Program Description: Career Description: The natural resources technology program stresses the acquisition of field skills necessary for success in a natural resources center, as well as the theoretical foundations for these skills. This practical knowl­ edge is enriched by course materi­ als which emphasize communica­ tion skills along with the links between society, economics, policy and the natural resource base. This program can be taken as a stand alone two-year program, can constitute the first half of the bachelor of science in parks and recreation management, or it can be used in conjunction with a 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 & 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 volun­ teer experience in the natural resource field to gain the profes­ sional 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 manage­ ment degree, the fisheries & wildlife degree and the 2+3 crimi­ nal justice degree programs. These programs lead to careers such as conservation officer, park natural­ ist, expedition leader, guide or recreation specialist.

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 chal­ lenging 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 environ­ ment 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; corpora­ tions; financial institutions; govern­ ment (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; educa­ tional institutions; financial service organizations; credit and collection agencies; and service, consulting or publishing companies. 1. 2. 3. 4. 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 ap­ proved by the legal assistant studies coordinator; a two-year associate's degree in legal assistant studies; 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 Legal Assistant Studies Faculty Program Coordinator Carol S.

The program provides students with both a broad liberal arts education and the important skills they need to begin a career or pursue addi­ tional education. 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 adminis­ tration. Each concentration pro­ vides a combination of knowledge and skills uniquely appropriate for those with particular career goals. 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 require­ ments 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). Internships — which involve supervised practical work experi­ ence 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 Washing­ ton, D.C. Students selected to participate in this program spend a semester taking classes and work­ ing in Washington. Political Science Faculty Professors Dr. Richard Conboy Dr. Gary Johnson Associate Professor Ms. Carol Andary Assistant Professor Dr. James Heasley Staff Ms. Sheri Davie, Secretary Student Organization: The Political Science Club is a nonpartisan student organization that promotes discussion and understanding of current political issues. The club sponsors speak­ ers, arranges debates between political candidates, hosts student forums with the University presi­ dent ("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. Member­ ship is open to all LSSU students. 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 com­ munity are invited to these presentations. Lake Superior State University • 1 -888-800-LSSU. ext. 2217 • 253 �School of Social Sciences Psychology Faculty Professors Dr. Susan Ratwik Dr. Timothy Sawyer Assistant Professor Mr. Raymond Trouv£ 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 psychol­ ogy major helps a student develop analytical thinking and communi­ cation 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. 254 • Lake Superior State University • 1-888-800-LSSU, ext. 2217 �School of Social Sciences If you have a passion for the study of history, geography, political science or economics, and wish to share this interest with young people, you can prepare for a career teaching at the elementary, middle school, or secondary school level through taking a major in social studies.

Lake Superior State University • 1-888-800-LSSU, ext. 2217 • 255 �School of Social Sciences Sociology Faculty Chair Dr. Leslie Ann Dobbertin, Professor Professor Dr. Richard Crandall Assistant Professor 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. Sociolo­ gists 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 teach­ ing, 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 re­ search; 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. 256 • Lake Superior State University • 1-888-800-LSSU, ext. 2217 �College of Business and Economics Master’s Degree Minors Business Administration Accounting-Finance (Phased out hy August 2003) Bachelor’s Degrees Accounting Tracks in Public Accounting, Industrial/ Managerial, Data Processing and Accounting, 150-hour Program Business Administration Specialties in Management and Marketing Finance and Economics Individualized Studies Economics Economics-Finance Economics Teaching General Business Health Care Administration Human Resource Management International Studies Marketing Office Administration Personal Computer Specialist Associate’s Degrees Business Administration Liberal Arts Office Administration Personal Computer Specialist Technical Accounting Certificates Information Processing International Studies Personal Computer Specialist Lake Superior State University • 1 -888-800-LSSU • 257 �College of Business and Economics Mission Statement: Faculty Dean Dr. Varkey Titus Email: vtitus@gw.lssu.edu Professors Dr. John Erkkila Email: jerkkila@gw.lssu.edu Dr. Bruce T.

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 & 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 contrib­ uting to the University's sense of tradition. This unique architectural blend is a reminder of the "weap­ ons 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 (98,000) allows for an international flavor abounding with the opportunities of a city, and the safety and comfort of a small town.

Lake Superior State University • 1-888-800-LSSU • 7 �Expectations for Student Learning Lake Superior State University utilizes a Student Academic Achievement Plan developed by the faculty to enhance continuous quality improvement and to meet the Assessment Initiative of the 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 respon­ sible citizens: communication skills, mathematics, computer literacy, critical thinking, ethics, aesthetics, cultural diversity, and science and technology. Students who complete the general educa­ tion courses at Lake Superior State University will be able to demon­ strate attributes of the general education outcomes. Students attending Lake Superior State University can expect com­ mitment by the University to document and enhance student learning. Through the assessment process, the University demon­ strates its commitment to improv­ ing 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 partici­ pate in the learning process. 8 • Lake Superior Slate University • 1 -888-800-I>SSU �University Talli Terms & phrases you should know... name, and the number of academic credits shown at the right of the column.

They will help you obtain your educational objectives. Faculty advisors, staff and admin­ istration will also help you negoti­ ate your way through these poli­ cies — seek their advice whenever you have questions! The Academic Year Lake Superior State University operates on a semester system. There are two regular 15-week semesters (fall and spring) which begin in August or September and end in April or May. The summer semester consists of classes offered in two six-week sessions, or one 12week session. Starting and ending dates are listed on page 357 of this catalog. Academic Credit One credit is earned after complet­ ing 15 hours of classroom instruc­ tion in lecture/recitation courses. For example, a three-credit course might be scheduled 9-9:50 a.m. Monday, Wednesday and Friday for 15 weeks plus one week for exams. Laboratory classes, field work or other non-lecture classes meet for more than one hour a week per credit. You should expect to spend two hours of study or class preparation for each hour spent in class. Sixteen credits are the average load of full-time students. A minimum of 124 credits is required for all baccalaureate degrees; a minimum of 62 hours is required for an associate's degree. Student Curriculum Choice and Advising When you apply for admission, you are asked to declare a major. The major you declare will deter- mine which major department you are in and the academic advisor assigned to you. Please get to know your advisor well and meet with him/her often to get help in class selection, degree progress and career advice. You may change your major curriculum by process­ ing a Curriculum Change Card through the Registrar's Office. The Registrar's Office, Counseling Center and departmental offices have the card and instructions. Curriculum change cards must be filed with the Registrar's Office for each curriculum change. If you are unsure of your major, you will be assigned to the Liberal Arts major and the advisor as­ signed to you will be a 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 avail­ able 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. You must sign up for classes for the semester in which you will be doing the actual work. 10 • Lake Superior State University • 1-888-800-LSSU, ext. 2211 �Please read the schedule booklet carefully as it has dates for sched­ uling according to class level, dates for tuition payments, and informa­ tion regarding prerequisites, corequisites and other course requirements. It is your responsibility to ensure that the classes you take count toward your degree program. You may, however, be required to take remedial courses (course numbers beginning with "0", such as MA081), which will not count toward graduation. Test Scores: When you apply for admission, you will send your ACT score to Lake Superior State 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 sched­ uling for the next course. Excep­ tions may be made only by the dean of your college or the instruc­ tor of the subsequent class. Repeats: You may repeat a class in which you earn a grade other than "W" or "N" only twice without special permission and only under the following conditions: 1. Courses transferred from other institutions are included in this policy. 2. Both the original and repeat grades will show on the transcript, but hours earned toward graduation will only count once. 3. For the purpose of calculating the cumulative grade point average, only the grade of the last attempt will be used, if the last class was taken at LSSU. If you transfer in a class to repeat a class from LSSU, the LSSU grade will be removed from your grade point average. 4. To repeat a course more than twice, the student must attain the permission of the course instructor and the dean of the college offering that course. Permission is granted only under exceptional circum­ stances. When repeating a course, you should check the R (repeat) column of the Course Registration Form. This policy began fall 2001 for all new students either as transfer or new freshman. Failed Classes: If you fail a class required for your degree program, you must repeat the class and receive a passing grade. If the failed class is no longer offered because of program changes and/ or course deletions, the academic dean can substitute another similar class. 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. You must get an instructor's signature to schedule a course that is full or to waive a prerequisite require­ ment. Your add or withdrawal from a course is not officially complete Lake Superior State University • 1-888-800-LSSU, ext. 2211 • 11 �until the appropriate form is completed in the Center for Stu­ dent Services. It's a good idea to retain the official receipt upon completion of any add or drop.

Return your Late Add Form to the Registrar's Office. 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 circum­ stances, and you must obtain a Withdrawal Form. You must: 1. Complete the form (including listing a reason for the drop). 2. Get the instructor's signature and the instructor's recom­ mendation. 3. Bring the completed form to the dean (of the class they are dropping), for their review and decision. 4. If the dean approves the drop, the student must then bring the form back to the registrar for processing. A W 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 develop­ ment. Attendance and participa­ tion provide appropriate opportu­ nities for the evaluation of your progress. You are personally responsible for the satisfactory completion of the course work prescribed by your instructors. This means that you are expected to attend classes regularly, and that you are respon­ sible for the work assigned in class, the material covered in class and for participation in class activities (including discussion and listen­ ing) designed by the instructor as part of the learning experience. However, mere physical atten­ dance should not be a criterion for evaluation of your performance. Participation in an official Univer­ sity function is an excused absence when approved by the provost. You will not be penalized for such participation. You are responsible for work missed and must confer with your instructor on this matter. Complete withdrawal: If you are a full-time student and drop all of your classes during the first eight weeks of the semester, you may be eligible for tuition refund. To receive any refund, fill out a 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 12 • Lake Superior State University • 1-888-800-LSSU, ext. 2211 �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): An incom­ plete "I" grade can be issued in the case of extenuating circumstances beyond the control of the student that prevent completion of course requirements. Examples of extenu­ ating circumstances may include health issues, death of a parent/ spouse/child, or military service. Appropriate documentation is required. An "I" grade can be issued in a course, that by design, cannot be completed in one semes­ ter. You must make up the work by the date specified by the instructor. If a date is not given, the student will have a maximum of two semesters (excluding summer semesters) to complete the require­ ments for removing the "I" grades. Two semesters after the issuance of the "I" grade, if the professor has not completed a Grade Change Form or requested an extension, the Registrar's Office will change the "I" grade to an "F" grade. N and W grades: These grades are given to those classes that you have officially dropped N or withdrawn W. Grade reports: Grades and credit reports are mailed to your perma­ nent home address after each semester. Grade change: You may request your instructor to review and change a grade within two semes­ ters after completion. The instruc­ tor fills in and sends a Grade Change Form to the Registrar's Office.

Dean's List: Full-time students carrying at least 12 graded credits of college-level courses (100 level or above) in a semester with a grade point average of 3.5 or higher, and not having any incom­ plete (I) grades, will earn Dean's List honors, which acknowledge outstanding academic achieve­ ment. If you have an incomplete (I) grade, you may take steps to resolve the grade. Once you resolve the grade, notify the Provost's Office if your grade point average is 3.50 or higher for the semester. Upon your notification, the Provost's Office will verify your record, send you a letter of congratulations, and notify the Public Relations Office for press release purposes. 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 Lake Superior State University • 1-888-800-LSSU, ext. 2211 • 13 �recreational activities are not included in the 15 credits). 1. Academic probation is in effect if vour cumulative grade point average is in the "on proba­ tion" category. 2. If your cumulative GPA falls into the dismissal range, you will be dismissed. 3. Summer may count for one semester. After a first or second dis­ missal, you have the following options: a. Sit out two semesters (summer can be counted as one semester) before re­ enrolling. b. Petition the Scholastic Standards Committee for immediate readmittance. This action is initiated with 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 without permission of the provost. Three semesters must elapse from the time of dis­ missal before a petition for readmittance is considered. 6. The Scholastic Standards Committee may, on the recom­ mendation of a college dean, provost or vice president for Student Programs and Ser­ vices, dismiss students from the University if their academic progress, conduct or attitude toward their work is deemed unsatisfactory. Credit/No Credit Courses You may enroll in some courses on a credit/no credit basis if you are in good academic standing. The following conditions exist: 1. One course per semester may be taken as credit/no credit. 2. Only 12 credits of courses taken as credit/no credit may be applied toward a degree. 3. Courses that are required by your major, minor, or that are general education courses, can not be taken for credit/no credit. 4. You apply at the Registrar's Office to enroll for a credit/no credit course during the drop/ add period; cannot change to regular grades after the drop/ add period ends. 5. 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 informa­ tion in the official course descrip­ tion and course syllabi. The policy and limitations outlined above do not apply to these courses. 14 • Lake Superior State University • 1-888-800-LSSU, ext. 2211 �Cheating and Plagiarism: The assumption of the academic contract is that the student does his or her own work: any breach of the contract is considered cheating. The faculty member who detects a student cheating may take appro­ priate action, such as assigning a failing grade for the entire course. A student who cheats is subject to dismissal from the University. If, in the opinion of the faculty member involved, such action is warranted, he or she will notify the chairman of the Scholastic Stan­ dards Committee and the student in writing. The Scholastic Stan­ dards Committee will then conduct a hearing in such a manner that the student is given due process. If the committee decides that dismissal is warranted, the student shall have five school days to appeal that decision to the provost of the University.

There is a fee required for both CLEP examination and Section 438 of the General Educa­ tion Provisions Act, as amended, sets forth the requirements to be met by an educational institution to protect the privacy of students. This act is called the Family 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 inappro­ priate. Educational institutions must also obtain written consent before releasing personally identifi­ able data about students from records to other than a specified list of exceptions. In addition, students must be notified of these rights. Lake Superior State University shall not as a matter of policy or practice: 1. Deny or prevent students at the University the right to inspect or review the educa­ tional records of such students, or 2. Permit the release of educa­ tional records contrary to the provisions of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy 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 Depart­ ment 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 registrar is the hearing officer for the Act and is responsible for implementing the notification requirements and distribution of copies of the policies and proce­ dures.

In carrying out this policy, the University complies with all federal and state laws and regula­ tions 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 Discrimi­ nation Act of 1978, Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, Titles VII and VIII of the Public Health Service Act, Age Discrimi­ nation in Employment Act of 1967, Sections 503 and 504 of the Reha­ bilitation Act of 1973, Veteran's Assistance Act of 1972, and Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. Sexual Harassment The University is committed to a policy of nondiscrimination on the basis of gender. Discrimination because of gender includes sexual harassment, which means unwel­ come sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct or communica­ tion of a sexual nature when: i. Submission to such conduct or communication is made a term or condition either explicitly or implicitly to obtain employ­ ment, public accommodations or public services, education, or housing; ii. Submission to or rejection of such conduct or communica­ tion by an individual is used as a factor in decisions affecting such individual's employment, public accommodations or public services, education, or housing; or Process 1. The University encourages all individuals to promptly report instances of discrimination and discriminatory harassment. Once the University has been informed of such behavior, it will take timely and appropri­ ate steps to investigate the problem. At any step of the grievance process, time sched­ ules as outlined in the process may be extended by mutual agreement in writing. 2. With the Grievance Officer, individuals may discuss concerns they may have regarding possible discrimina­ tion or harassment to learn what options are available. 3. Nonretaliation: The University not only prohibits discrimina­ tion, including harassment, but also strictly prohibits any retaliation against any indi­ vidual, who, in good faith, has registered a complaint under this procedure. Any supervi­ sor, agent, or employee of the University who, after investi­ gation, has been determined to have retaliated against any individual for using the 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. 4. All matters discussed in this process will be kept as confi­ dential as possible. 5. If an individual is dissatisfied with the University's investiga­ tion process or resolution, he or she may file complaints of illegal discrimination on the basis of gender (Title IX and Title VI) or disability (Section 504 and Title II of the ADA) with the Office for Civil Rights, U.S. Department of Education, iii. Such conduct or communica­ tion has the purpose or effect of substantially interfering with an individual's employ­ ment, 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 thenhighest potential of human excel­ lence. 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. Grievance Officer The Equal Employment Opportu­ nity Officer/Affirmative Action Officer (EEO Officer) is the desig­ nated grievance officer for dis­ crimination 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 contact Ms. Beverly White, EEO Officer, Lake Superior State Uni­ versity Administration Building, Sault Ste.

Applications are processed con­ tinuously and you will be notified of a decision within two weeks. To complete your admission file you must submit a final high school transcript and ACT scores (if you graduated from high school within 26 months of entering LSSU). Final high school transcript must verify graduation from an accredited school or passing on the GED. To be considered official, all tran­ scripts must be mailed from your high school guidance office directly to Lake Superior State University. Enter your social security number on your Application for Admis­ sion. It serves as your permanent student identification number. If you do not wish to provide the number, an alternate number will be assigned. Financial aid applica­ tions 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. LSSU uses an overall grade point average (GPA). The average overall GPA for the 2001 freshman class was 3.06 on a scale of a 4.0. The average ACT composite score was a 21. Students whose ACT or GPA levels approach but do not meet LSSU standards may be admitted via the University Studies program. University Studies is an arm of the Great Lakes Academy dedicated to providing an educational opportu­ nity to students who meet certain profiles. Students who are admit­ ted via University Studies receive additional advising and support services to ensure their success at LSSU. If you are admitted via University Studies, you will be fully entered into your chosen major after meeting these three simple require­ ments: * earn 12 credits at the 100 level or above, * earn a 2.00 GPA, and * be eligible for 100-level math, reading and composition courses. Students denied regular admission may reapply after attending another accredited college and earning at least 19 semester (29 quarter) hours of transferable credit. Evaluation for admission is then based upon the college record. * Although LSSU prefers you take the ACT, we will accept equivalent SAT scores to determine admission. ACT The ACT is offered nationally five times a year at many locations including our campus. Registra­ tion forms are available in high school counseling offices or by contacting the LSSU Counseling and Testing Center at 906-635- 2733. United States residents applying for academic scholarships must have their ACT scores sent prior to the April 1 scholarship deadline. Transfer Students Transfer students must possess a 2.0 cumulative college GPA and be eligible to return to your former college(s). If you have completed fewer than 19 semester (29 quarter) hours of credit, you must send an official high school transcript or GED scores in addition to your college transcript (and ACT scores if you graduated from high school within 26 months of the semester of entry). Contact the Registrar's Office or high school guidance office to have Lake Superior State University • 1-888-800-LSSU. ext. 2231 • 23 �an official transcript mailed to our Registrar's Office. Transcripts sent via facsimile or hand delivered are not considered official. All tran­ scripts become the property of Lake Superior State University and are not returnable. Your complete application should be submitted at least 30 days prior to the semester of entry. Transfer students denied admission may reapply after taking additional courses that raise their overall GPA to above a 2.0. Credit Evaluations Official evaluation of transfer credit is made as quickly as pos­ sible after you are admitted. The Admissions Office will help you with an unofficial transcript review at your request. If a course taken at another institu­ tion is not offered at LSSU, elective credit may be granted for that course. Elective credits may be applied toward degree require­ ments but may not be used to satisfy any specific course require­ ment. Grades less than C- will not transfer. The Registrar's 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. Provisional Credit Credit earned at an institution not listed in the American Council of Education's publication, Accredited Institutions of Post-Secondary Education is granted provisionally. You must complete at least 15 semester hours of credit with a cumulative GPA of 2.00 at LSSU before provisional credits will become part of your permanent record. MACRAO Agreement Michigan community college students admitted to Lake State who have the MACRAO stamp on their transcript are recognized as having completed the general education requirements at Lake State. Sault College Agreement Sault College of Applied Arts and Technology students admitted to Lake Superior State University who have the GECERT stamp (liberal studies degree) on their transcript are recognized as having completed the general education requirements at Lake Superior State University. Early Admission Policy Students under the age of 18 that apply for early admission to LSSU that do not possess a high school diploma or GED will be counseled on an individual basis by a mem­ ber of the Admissions staff. Early applicants to LSSU must provide an official transcript of all high school work and test scores from either ACT or SAT. If the applicant is unable to pro­ vide the necessary data he or she will be required to take LSSU's placement tests. The results of these tests, along with the high school record, will be used to determine the applicant's eligibility for admission. It is required that the applicant meet with a represen­ tative of the Financial Aid Office as early admission may affect finan­ cial aid eligibility. Residency Requirement There is no limit to the number of transfer credits allowed from other institutions. Bachelor's degree candidates must earn at least 32 of their final 40 credits and at least 50 percent of their departmental required 300/400-level credits in LSSU courses. 24 • Lake Superior State University • 1-888-800-LSSU, ext. 2231 �Regional center students must earn at least 32 credits and at least 50 percent of their departmental required 300/400-level credits in Lake State courses.

Great Lakes Academy Lake Superior State University has a long-term commitment to the academic and personal success of all our students. The Great Lakes Academy serves three functions which assure students can enroll in and complete the relevant coursework and programs. Access to higher education is offered via the University Studies program. Students from the Eastern Upper Peninsula whose academic background approaches, but does not meet Lake State admission standards, can get their start in higher education via the University Studies program in the Great lakes Academy. As a Univer­ sity 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 Great Lakes Academy pro­ vides academic support for the entire Sault Ste. Marie campus. The academy operates the Learning Center 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 supplemen­ tal instruction. Occupational education is the goal for many students. They seek workplace-relevant programs designed to open the door to good­ paying technical positions. Such programs also promote the eco­ nomic growth of the entire commu­ nity. The Great Lakes Academy oversees the development and operation of academic programs at the one- or two-year level. Our friendly staff will be happy to assist you in reaching your aca­ demic goals. Please contact us at 906-635-2849 with any questions.

Former Students Former full-time Lake Superior State University students who miss one or more semesters (not includ­ ing summer) and attend another college or university must apply for readmission before the semester of re-entry. There is no application fee. You must submit official transcripts from any college you attended since leaving LSSU and meet our transfer student admis­ sions policy. 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 semes­ ter 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 deter­ mining 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. 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 On­ tario, 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.

For example: If there are 105 days in the semester and you withdraw on the 58th day, your federal aid would be reduced to 55% (58/105). If your total cost to attend was $2200 and it was paid with federal aid of $1200 and a personal pay­ ment of $1000, your federal aid would be reduced to $660. You could owe the University $540. Attendance Policy for federal financial aid recipients: Regular class attendance is required for students receiving federal financial aid. If you are reported for nonattendance in any or all of your courses, your financial aid may be withdrawn. Leaving school: For information about leaving the University see Withdrawal. Non-attendance of classes or checking out of 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 an official With­ drawal Request Form is filed with the Registrar's Office. Transcript fee: One official tran­ script is provided to all students, either before or after graduation. There is a $5 fee for each additional transcript. Delinquent accounts: Students with delinquent accounts may be removed from class, have their diploma withheld, and/or have transcript requests denied. Room and Board Applications Housing applications: Unmarried students enrolled for 12 or more credit hours and who are within 27 calendar months of their gradua­ tion from high school at the beginning of the academic year (for this purpose, high school gradua­ tion dates are assumed to be June 1st) must reside in a University residence hall. The exceptions are: 1. if you live with parents within a 60-mile radius, or the threecounty (Luce, Chippewa, and Mackinac) service area of the University campus. An exception application, avail­ able in the Housing Office, must be approved by the Housing director. 2. if you are exempted in writing by the Housing director when residence hall space is filled. 3. if you face unusual financial or health problems and are ex- 34 • Lake Superior State University • 1-888-800-LSSU �empted by the vice president for Student Affairs.

If applica­ tion is canceled by notification to the Housing director by June 15, all monies paid will be refunded. If cancellation is between June 15 and the opening of the residence halls, LSSU retains $100. Cancellation after the halls open is subject to a $300 penalty. You must be accepted for admission and be enrolled in and attending classes to live on campus. > •\ Room and board: Students are billed for room and board and tuition each semester.

Rewarding the scholar and meet­ ing the needs of those who apply for financial assistance is a high priority at Lake Superior State University. The doors of opportu­ nity are seldom closed because of a financial condition. You may qualify for a combination of University, state and federal programs—a financial aid packwhich may include a combi­ ag< nation of scholarship, grant, loan, and/or work assistance. Full-time undergraduates take priority in aid awards. Carefully consider the full cost of your education, parental support, and savings — including 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 scholar­ ships regardless of need. Those with need are considered for grants, loans and/or employment based on need established from the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). You can obtain information on all financial aid programs from the Financial Aid staff. Staff are available to advise you and your parents about the costs of attend­ ing the University, availability of financial aid and application procedures. Applying: You can apply for financial aid by obtaining a FAFSA form from your high school counselor or contacting the Finan­ cial Aid Office, Lake Superior State University, 650 W. Easterday Ave., Sault Ste. Marie, MI 49783. You may also file your FAFSA on-line at www.fafsa.ed.gov. Once your FAFSA is received by LSSU and your admission is complete, you will receive an "Official Offer of Award" letter from the Financial Aid Office. Scholarship requirements: Incom­ ing freshmen must have a mini­ mum GPA of 3.0 and ACT of 19 to qualify for an LSSU scholarship. The recipient of any award must be a full-time student carrying 12 academic hours or more each semester (except regional center recipients). Scholarship recipients are usually selected based on competitive examinations, scholastic records and/or financial need. The Ameri­ can College Test serves as the University's primary test for scholarship applicants. Test results must be on file by April 1. All freshmen who are Michigan residents are encouraged to com­ plete the Michigan Educational Assessment Program (MEAP) test to determine eligibility for addi­ tional state aid. You and your parents or guardian must complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to apply for federal aid. The form must be received by the processor before February 21 (incoming freshmen) or March 21 (returning students) 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 require­ ments to retain your aid each semester. Financial aid regulations require that a student must make satisfac­ tory progress to remain eligible for financial aid. Financial aid pro­ grams affected by this policy are Federal Pell Grant, Federal Perkins Loan, Federal Work-Study, Federal Supplemental Educational Oppor- 36 • Lake Superior State University • 1-888-800-LSSU , ext. 2678 �tunity Grant, Federal Direct Loans, Federal PLUS Loans, State of Michigan and Institutional Scholar­ ships, Grants, Loan and Work Programs. The Native American Tuition Waiver is exempted from this policy. The following policy is the mini­ mum requirement for all types of financial aid; however, there are some types of aid with more stringent requirements (see schol­ arship requirements): Qualitative Standards Every student must maintain, at the end of each semester, a cumula­ tive grade point average (GPA) of at least: Cumulative GPA 1.70 1.86 1.93 1.97 Credits Attempted* 0-25 credits 26-55 credits 56-87 credits 88 or more credits *Semester Hours (includes transfer credit hours) Probationary Semester: First-year freshmen and new transfer stu­ dents not meeting the GPA require­ ment 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. For example, a fresh­ man "attempting" 16 credits each semester would need to have a cumulative GPA of at least 1.86 to receive aid the following year. Current Students: Students that have been enrolled for more than one semester will not have a probationary semester and must meet the schedule above for each semester. Transfer Students: The require­ ments for transfer students are based on the number of full-time equivalent credits transferred to LSSU. For example, a student with 68 transfer credits must earn a GPA of 1.93 or higher. Quantitative Standards Each student's progress in credits earned will be reviewed every semester. The following credits must be earned in relation to the number of credits enrolled at the end of the add period: Undergraduate Students Fall/Spring Semester Credits to be Enrolled Earned Credits 12+ 9 11 10 9 8 7 6 5-1 8 7 6 6 5 4 100% Graduate Students Fall/Spring Semester Enrolled Credits to be Earned Credits 7 10+ 9 8 7 6 5 4-1 6 6 5 4 4 100% If a student does not satisfactorily meet the quantitative standard, he/she will be placed on financial aid probation for the next semester. If a student fails to meet the standard for the second consecu­ tive semester enrolled, his/her financial aid will be suspended. Part-time students enrolled for less than six credits must earn all credits attempted. Once financial aid is suspended, both the GPA and credit hour completion criteria must be met in subsequent semesters of six credits or more before reinstatement of aid is possible. If completion of "I" grades or other record changes warrant a reinstate­ ment, a written notice from the Registrar's Office must be pre­ sented to the Financial Aid Office by the end of the semester follow­ ing cancellation of aid by the student. Financial Aid Suspension: No aid will be granted once a student's Lake Superior State University • 1-888-800-LSSU, ext. 2678 • 37 �150% Completion Rule Students are expected to com­ plete 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 for aid is terminated after six semesters (associate's), 12 semesters (bachelor's degree), and four semesters (master's), or after attempting 150 percent of the credits required for the degree. eligibility is suspended, including but not limited to the Federal Direct Stafford Loan, Federal Perkins Loan, Federal Direct PLUS Loan, Federal Work-Study, Federal Supplemental Educational Oppor­ tunity Grant, Federal Pell Grant, Michigan Competitive Scholarship, Michigan Adult Part-Time Grant, Michigan Educational Opportunity Grant, Michigan Work Study and Institutional Scholarships and Grants. Financial Aid Reinstatement: To remove financial aid suspension status, a student must have at­ tained the minimum cumulative grade point average and creditearned requirements (minimum six credit hours) at Lake Superior State University, while not receiving financial aid. Students who successfully complete 26 credits at a community college after being suspended at LSSU will be allowed one probationary semester upon readmission. Successful students must advise the Financial Aid Office in writing that they have met the requirements for reinstatement.

A distinguishing feature of this program is a central concept of entitlement, guaranteeing those who demonstrate financial need will receive a grant based on that need and on the cost of education at the post-secondary school they choose to attend. Pell Grant amounts vary according to the year. Check with the Finan­ cial Aid Office for details. To be eligible for a Pell Grant, students must: 1. be determined to have finan­ cial need.

Financial need is the primary consideration in the selection of grant recipients. Priority is given to the neediest Pell Grant recipi­ ents.

Loans Federal Perkins Loan The Federal Carl Perkins Loan program is for students enrolled at least half time in an eligible pro­ gram who need a loan to meet educational expenses. Students may borrow up to $3,000 for each year of undergraduate study. The maximum debt for undergraduates is $15,000. The amount awarded by the University is generally less due to limited funds. Repayment begins nine months after students graduate or leave school for other reasons. There is a 10-year pay back period, at five percent interest on the unpaid balance of the loan principal. The amount of the repayment depends on the size of the debt and ability to pay. In most cases, students must pay at least $40 a month. Any agreement for a lesser amount must be attributable to extraordinary circumstances such as prolonged unemployment. Default: If a student defaults on a Perkins Loan and the school is unable to collect, the federal government will take action to recover the loan. In cases of bankruptcy, total or permanent disability or death, loan obligations are canceled. Deferment of payment is available if: 1. you are enrolled and attending as at least a half time student at an institution of higher educa­ tion. 2. for any period not to exceed three (3) years A. unable to find full-time employment.

Eligibility is based on financial need for subsidized loans. Subsidized loans are eligible for federal interest benefits. For subsidized loans, the federal government does not charge interest while attending school at least half time, during the sixmonth grace period, and during deferments (postponements of repayments). Financial need must be shown to receive this type of loan. For students without financial need, the Direct Loan Program offers Direct Unsubsidized Loans. The federal government charges interest on these loans while attending school, in the grace period, or in deferment. The student loan program is administered through the Financial Aid Office under the Direct Loan Program. A three percent loan fee is charged on all loans, under federal law. Loans are disbursed in two equal disbursements (one-half in the fall semester; one-half in the spring semester). -• r.

If you have unusual financial or health problems. Permis­ sion must be granted by the vice president for Student Affairs. The University reserves the right to assign all students within the residence halls. Housing prefer­ ences are considered according to the dates of receipt of application. Freshmen are usually accorded priority in residence hall assign­ ments 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 Affairs, 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 mini­ mum required for on-campus residency. In such a situation, there are two alternatives: a) withdrawal from the dormitory or b) with- drawal from the University. An example is a student whose financial situation changed sud­ denly during the year (perhaps due to the death of a parent) and who applies for assistance after the aid program is depleted.

The Student-Faculty Relations Committee provides a forum for resolving conflicts between students and faculty members which may arise with classroom or course-related activi­ ties, policies or procedures. The 62 • Lake Superior State University • committee will not consider cases involving ADA compliance or any other matter it deems inappropri­ ate. 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 representa­ tives (at least one from each college) and four student represen­ tatives. 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 semes­ ter), the student should at­ tempt to resolve the issue at the student/faculty, depart­ ment 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 ap­ proach 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 in­ cluded as well. The written appeal should be submitted directly to the committee chair. The Executive Vice President and Provost's Office will know 1-888-800-LSSU, ext. 2273 �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 clarifica­ tion. 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 extenu­ ating 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. 5. The committee will keep no permanent records.

Marie, Michigan, and Sault College, in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, are just a 15-minute car ride apart. In spite of being located in different countries, our cities are closer to each other than they are to municipalities in their home state or province. So, community leaders encourage initiatives that strengthen the ties between us and take advantage of shared resources. The belief is we have more to offer by working together. Lake Superior State University and Sault College have enjoyed a good working relationship for many years. In 2001, some articulations were revitalized, new ones were struck and it was decided to establish the International Univer­ sity College Division. The division allows full-time students in some program areas to be dual-enrolled. In computer science/studies, criminal justice or liberal studies/ teacher education, agreements have been signed which encourage students to take advantage of the diverse faculty and resources available at both schools as they pursue their degrees and/or diplomas. Getting involved in the Interna­ tional Division is straightforward — consult with the academic department, fill in a Dual Enroll­ ment Form and submit it to the Registrar's Office. As a dualenrolled student, you are permitted to take one course per semester at the other school. Through the extra advising available to you, you can fit these courses into your overall academic plan and semes­ ter timetables. You register for all courses through your home school registrar and your academic information is transferred auto­ matically at the conclusion of each semester. As long as you meet the required academic standards, you will continue to enjoy these advan­ tages of attending both schools: • the combination of applied, "hands-on" training and theoretical understanding • more course choices • access to many of the student services and academic re­ sources (e.g. wider selection of equipment, libraries, student centers, peer tutoring, etc.) available at both institutions • accessible professors through small classes, labs and office hours • interaction with fellow stu­ dents from another country — a good basis for a network of contacts that can assist you in your life’s work ahead • greater employment options and advancement opportunities Dual-enrolled students pursuing the bachelor of science in computer science or computer networking gain these particular benefits: • professors with a wide variety of computer-based qualifica­ tions and areas of expertise • exposure to, and opportunity to work with, more types of hardware and software than would be available at either institution on its own • plenty of equipment available for hands-on experience • more than 70% of the major courses with a lab component • opportunity to earn worldrecognized CISCO CCNA and Microsoft MCSE certifications 68 • Lake Superior State University • 1-888-800-LSSU, ext. 6667 �• Innovative, relevant programs which adjust quickly to both changing technology and employers' needs For more specific information regarding computer-based degrees and participation in the Interna­ tional University College Division, please refer to page 108 of this catalog.

If the failed class is no longer offered because of program changes and/or course deletions, the academic dean can substitute another similar class. Exceptions to Graduation Requirements Exceptions to specific general education requirements may be granted only by the Scholastic Standards Committee. Such exceptions are infrequently made. A petition for exceptions to general education requirements is initiated with the assistant to the provost for academic records. Course substitutions and waivers of departmental degree program requirements may be granted only by the dean of the college offering the program (major or minor). Normally, you will graduate under the program degree requirements in effect and published in the Catalog at the time you are admit­ ted into the given degree program, provided enrollment at the Univer­ sity is continuous. If enrollment is interrupted, or if you select a new major, you must satisfy program requirements in effect at the time you reenter or officially change to the new major. If program require­ ments are revised during your enrollment, you will be allowed to graduate under the new require­ ments providing you can meet such requirements in their entirety. The University reserves the right to change the requirements for graduation at any time as a means of keeping pace with educational developments affecting the various curricula. As such changes are made, they may, at the discretion of the University, be applied to stu­ dents already enrolled. In such cases, reasonable and prudent effort will be made to provide the benefit of the new educational program without imposing undue hardship. Lake Superior State University • 1-888-800-LSSU, ext. 2012 • 73 �Graduation Procedures Degree candidacy procedure: Two semesters before students plan to complete degree requirements and graduate, they must submit an appropriate departmental degree audit for each major and minor, and a Declaration of Candidacy for Degree to the assistant to the provost for Academic Records. The necessary forms are available at the student's major departmen­ tal office. The departmental Degree Audit for a student's major or minor speci­ fies all required courses that have been or must be completed. The audit must be signed by the school chair and/or dean of the college offering the major or minor pro­ gram. 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 Scho­ lastic Standards Committee. Such exceptions are infrequently made. A petition for exceptions to general education requirements is initiated with the assistant to the provost for academic records. The assistant to the provost checks students' Degree Audits, after which a preliminary verification of the Degree Audit is sent to each student and respective school chair. Students are responsible for 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 pro­ gram 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 commence­ ment exercises unless excused by the assistant to the provost. Stu­ dents completing degree require­ ments 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 require­ ments specified on the Degree Audit are fulfilled, the college dean and/or school chair and assistant to the provost give a final ap­ proval. Names of these graduates are then sent to the president for approval by the Board of Trustees. Subsequently, a diploma is pro­ vided to each student. Diploma charge: There is no charge for the first diploma from the University. A fee is charged for replacement diplomas. Students completing graduation requirements in the fall semester or summer, or who otherwise need documentation of completion before their diploma is available, may request a letter certifying that they have completed degree requirements. Additionally, official University transcripts will be sent to any employer, graduate univer­ sity, or elsewhere, as requested by the graduate. Official transcripts will not be mailed to students. Graduation with honors: Honors graduates must earn at least 32 credits at Lake Superior State University. 74 • Lake Superior State University • 1-888-800-LSSU, ext. 2012 �Students who earn 3.50 to 3.69 will graduate cum laude; 3.70 to 3.89, magna cum laude; 3.90 to 4.00, summa cum laude. Graduation diplomas with honors will be awarded to baccalaureate and associate's and certificate recipients. Honors medallions will be awarded only to baccalaureate and associate's degree recipients who graduate summa cum laude. Delinquent Accounts Students with delinquent accounts may be removed from class, have their diploma withheld, and/or have transcript requests denied. completed 21 honors credit hours with an overall grade point aver­ age 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). 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 schol­ ars characterized by strong stu­ dent-faculty interaction around the world of ideas. The honors pro­ gram 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 inter­ view 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.

Program Description: Career Description: This degree requires successful completion of a curriculum with a minimum of 128 semester hours as prescribed on the following page. Managers guide and direct the organization. Managers set goals and determine methods to achieve those goals. Since managers must achieve the organization's goals through the efforts of other indi­ viduals, the practice of manage­ ment is concerned with human behavior. Managers are involved with designing effective organiza­ tion structures, controlling opera­ tions, making effective decisions, and communicating, motivating and leading personnel. Addition­ ally, an effective manager must design programs to develop people's abilities and talents, understand the role and impact of technology on the organization and be aware of and respond to social challenges both domestically and internationally. A career in man­ agement is both challenging and rewarding. The management major is de­ signed to provide students with a broad background in business by presenting courses covering the functional areas of business. This management degree program prepares students for leadership positions in business and non­ profit organizations.

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 MCOLES certification and 92 additional hours following the NRT degree.

Program Description: Career Descriptions: The program is highlighted by indepth study in a subject major (or dual minors for some elementary candidates), extended teaching communities of diverse learners and scholarly inquiry. Students earn a bachelor's degree and then to become certified, participate in a one-year teaching internship with accompanying graduate course work. Elementary or Secondary Teacher — completion of fifth-year intern­ ship and graduate course work qualifies students for elementary or secondary teacher certification in Michigan and Ontario, as well as reciprocity with many other states in the U.S. While working toward completion of a major, students take the first two teacher education courses and then apply for formal admission to the program during their sopho­ more year. Details of current teaching certifi­ cates, program requirements, policies and procedures are available via the University website. You will find majors and minors which are acceptable as teaching options in the Minors section of this catalog. School Administrator or School Counselor — a valid teaching certificate and teaching experience are recommended prerequisites to becoming either a school adminis­ trator or counselor. Further course work and separate certification are also required. Educational Consultant or Trainer — trains personnel in industry on new procedures and/or equipment as needed. Also develops curricu­ lum for textbooks and/or special programs for educational institu­ tions. Program Completer The Michigan Department of Education identifies a "program completer" as one who has accom­ plished both (a) all institutional academic and other requirements such as to establish eligibility for recommendation for certification and (b) taken/passed the mini­ mum number of state certification tests for the field of teaching desired. 124 • Lake Superior State University • 1-888-800-LSSU, ext. 2811 �Education - Elementary Teaching Education Elementary Teaching Bachelor of Arts Bachelor of Science Elementary Teaching Elementary teachers need aca­ demic preparation to be able to teach subjects in four areas: • • • • Language Arts Mathematics Natural Science Social Science Option I: a bachelor of arts or a bachelor of science degree in a major area. 2. a. b. c.

Program Description: Career Descriptions: 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 interna­ tional 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, entertain­ ment and communication indus­ tries; 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 invari­ ably participate in a broad range of courses, they must select two main areas of focus (concentrations) from the following six: graphic design, music, native arts and culture, theater, visual arts and writing. Fine arts have been an important aspect of the human experience since first recorded history; from African cave paintings to Greek dramas, from Beethoven sympho­ nies 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 expres­ sion. 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 our­ selves.

Program Description: Career Descriptions: Geology examines 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 forma­ tion of mountains, volcanoes and other features of the Earth's surface. Geologists attempt to understand our physical environ­ ment 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 environ­ mental change throughout the history of the Earth and how those changes 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 contamination. Geologists study the natural world and apply their knowledge to achieve harmony between the human race and its environment. Energy Fuels Exploration Geolo­ gist — searches worldwide for petroleum, gas, coal. Career opportunities are with integrated energy fuels exploration companies and government agencies. Mineral Exploration and Produc­ tion 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 inter­ preting the geologic record. Career opportunities are with energy companies, museums, universities, government agencies. Geophysicist — uses non-destruc­ tive methods to determine 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, consult­ ing 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 contamination of soils and solid waste disposal. Career opportuni­ ties 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.

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 indus­ try regulations; assists attorneys with preparation for collective bargaining, contract negotiations, administrative hearings or trials.

Program Description: Career Descriptions: Political science is the systematic study of government, politics and public policy. It is one of a number of liberal arts majors that prepare students for a broad range of career opportunities. With the skills they acquire in writing, speaking, analysis, critical thinking and leadership, political science majors are able to pursue a wide variety of career options (some of which require additional education). Political science majors choose one of four tracks or concentrations: general political science, pre-law, public administration or secondary teaching. Each concentration provides a combination of knowl­ edge and skills especially appropri­ ate for those with particular career goals. However, choosing one concentration over the others does not limit you to a particular career path — each of the tracks provides a solid grounding in political science and a broad liberal arts background. General education requirements and sufficient elective credits must be completed so that at least 124 semester credits have been earned. Other Qualifications — Graduate degrees are required for some positions; thus, a law degree is required for work as an attorney and a Ph.D. is required for appoint­ ment to permanent teaching and research positions in colleges and universities. A sample of typical occupations include: Attorney — represents clients in private practice, in small or large law firms; represents corporations, labor unions, trade associations or governments as a salaried em­ ployee; serves as a prosecutor or public defender; serves as a judge. Requires the completion of a law degree following college. Government Employee — works for government agencies at the federal, state or provincial, or local level, or for international organiza­ tions, such as the United Nations. Political Professional — works as a campaign manager; staff assistant to legislators; elected office holder; or as a political liaison for profes­ sional, trade, business or other interest groups. Journalist— serves as reporter, editorial writer, editor or news­ caster for newspapers, news magazines, or on radio or television. Teacher— teaches government and politics at the high school or college level.

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

Career Descriptions: Most pharmacy schools require students to take two years of pre­ pharmacy preparation prior to being admitted to their four-year 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 mid-way through your second pre-pharmacy year. Community Pharmacist — prac­ tices in local pharmacies, profes­ sional 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, pre­ pharmacy requirements are also subject to change. The modifications in professional pharmacy curricula, combined with the variability in pre-phar­ macy requirements, make it imperative for a pre-pharmacy student to determine the require­ ments for admission at the schools he or she desires to attend. A pre­ pharmacy curriculum at Lake Superior State University can then be designed to help you obtain your goals.

Program Description: Career Descriptions*: The legal assistant profession is one of the occupations projected to grow the fastest through the year 2010 according to the U.S. Depart­ ment 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 com­ puterized research; drafts legal pleadings and documents; inter­ views 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 environ­ ment 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 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 plan­ ning 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 indus­ try regulations; assists attorneys with preparation for collective bargaining, contract negotiations, administrative hearings or trials. Criminal Law Legal Assistant conducts comprehensive inter­ views of defendants, law enforce­ ment, victims, and/or witnesses; performs case and field investiga­ tions; locates and coordinates usage of applicable experts; prepares motions, briefs or other legal 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 assis­ tants). 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 descrip­ tions are only a sampling of the numerous avenues available to legal assistants.

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 chal­ lenging and offers many career advancement opportunities. Legal Assistant Studies 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 environ­ ment 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; corpora­ tions; financial institutions; govern­ ment (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; educa­ tional institutions; financial service organizations; credit and collection agencies; and service, consulting or publishing companies. 1. 2. 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 ap­ proved by the legal assistant studies coordinator; a two-year associate's degree in legal assistant studies; 3. 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 program provides students with both a broad liberal arts education and the important skills they need to begin a career or pursue addi­ tional education. Since students of political science follow diverse career paths, political science majors at LSSU choose from one of four tracks or concentrations: general political science, pre-law, public administration and secondary teaching. Each concentration provides a combina­ tion of knowledge and skills uniquely appropriate for those with particular career goals. 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 require­ ments 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 com- munity are invited to these presentations. Internships — which involve supervised practical work experi­ ence 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 Washing­ ton, D.C. Students selected to participate in this program spend a semester taking classes and work­ ing in Washington. Political Science Faculty Professors Dr. Richard Conboy Dr. Gary Johnson Associate Professor Ms. Carol And ary Assistant Professor Dr. Anthony Ndungu Staff Ms. Jackie Perron, Secretary Student Organization: The Political Science Club is a nonpartisan student organization that promotes discussion and understanding of current political issues. The club sponsors speak­ ers, arranges debates between political candidates, hosts student forums with the University presi­ dent ("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.

The major provides students with exposure to the areas that define contemporary scientific psychology. The psychol­ ogy major helps a student develop analytical thinking and communi­ cation 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. If you have a passion for the study of history, geography, political science or economics, and wish to share this interest with young people, you can prepare for a career teaching at the elementary, middle school, or secondary school level through taking a major in social studies.

Sociologists examine how variables, such as culture, laws and customs, influence persons within society. Sociolo­ gists 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 teach­ ing, 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 re­ search; 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.

Lake Superior State University • 5 �A Look at LSSU Established in 1946 to address the needs of returning World War II veterans and to provide educa­ tional opportunities to the people of the Eastern Upper Peninsula, Lake Superior State University still embodies the essence of the early days. A personal education in a safe and friendly environment remains a hallmark of today's LSSU. Our beautiful 115-acre campus overlooks the Michigan and Ontario twin cities of Sault Ste. Marie, the St. Mary's River, and the world famous Soo Locks. The school is located at the beginning of Interstate 75 which ends in the Horida Keys. The campus served as Ft. Brady starting in 1894 after the fort was relocated from the banks of the St. Mary's. The fort was deactivated in 1944 and, thanks to the efforts of local volunteers and leadership at Michigan College of Mining & Technology in Houghton, opened in the fall of that year as the Sault Ste. Marie Residence Center of MCMT. The Sault Branch was rechristened Lake Superior State College of Michigan Technical University in 1966. Autonomy arrived for LSSC in 1970. University status was granted in 1987 to the state's smallest public institution of higher learning. Enrollment has grown from the original class of 272 to more than 3,400 students. There are 14 buildings on the Na­ tional Historic Register contributing to the University's sense of tradi­ tion. This unique architectural blend is a reminder of the "weapons to plowshares" history of the setting. Community: Sault Ste. Marie (pop. 18,000) is one of the oldest cities in North America, having begun as a fur trading center in the early 17th century. A Jesuit mission was estab­ lished here in 1641, and Father Mar­ quette founded the first permanent settlement 27 years later, within the boundaries of what was to become Michigan. The Sault celebrated its 300th birthday in 1968. Our sister city, Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, is a cultural, recreational, social and entertainment center. The combined population of the Twin Saults (98,000) allows for an international flavor abounding with the opportunities of a city, and the safety and comfort of a small town.

The intent of this plan is to document student learning at Lake Superior State University both in the major program and across the general education requirements. This continuous evaluation process works to assure high quality teach­ ing and effective student learn­ ing. The faculty at Lake Superior State University have collectively agreed upon the characteristics of the educated person the institution hopes to graduate and have identi­ fied outcomes that can be used to document these attributes. The following are areas that the faculty have deemed essential to a liberal education and have value for the students in their lives as responsible citizens: communication skills, mathematics, computer literacy, critical thinking, ethics, aesthetics, cultural diversity, and science and technology. Students who complete the general education courses at Lake Superior State University will be able to demonstrate attributes of the general education outcomes. Students attending Lake Superior State University can expect commit­ ment by the University to docu­ ment and enhance student learning. Through the assessment process, the University demonstrates its commit­ ment to improving student learning and ensures that when students graduate they have attained specific attributes and abilities. Lake Superior State University expects a commitment on the part of its students to actively participate in the learning process.

Fac­ ulty advisors, staff and administive personnel will also help you negoti­ ate your way through these policies — seek their advice whenever you have questions! The Academic Year Lake Superior State University op­ erates on a semester system. There are two regular 14-week semesters (fall and spring) which begin in August or September and end in April or May. The summer semes­ ter consists of classes offered in two six-week sessions, or one 12-week session. Starting and ending dates are listed in the Academic Calendar in the back of this catalog. Academic Credit One credit is equal to 14 hours of classroom instruction in lecture/ recitation courses. For example, a three-credit course might be sched­ uled 9-9:50 a.m. Monday, Wednes­ day and Friday for 14 weeks plus one week for exams. Laboratory classes, field work or other non-lec­ ture classes meet for more than one hour a week per credit. mine which major department you are in and the academic advisor as­ signed to you. Please get to know your advisor well and meet with him/her often to get help in class selection, degree progress and ca­ reer advice. You may change your major curriculum by processing a Curriculum Change Card through the Registrar's Office. The Regis­ trar's Office, Counseling Center and departmental offices have the card and instructions. Curriculum change cards must be filed with the Registrar's Office for each curricu­ lum change. If you are unsure of your major, you will be assigned to the Liberal Arts major and the advisor as­ signed to you will be a Learning Center member. If you are provisionally admitted to Lake Superior State University, an academic advisor from the Coun­ seling Center is assigned. You will keep this advisor until your admis­ sion status changes and you are admitted to your full-time major program. You should expect to spend two hours of study or class preparation for each hour spent in class. The average credit-hour load for full-time students is 16 credits. A minimum of 124 credits is required for all baccalaureate degrees; a minimum of 62 hours is required for an associate's degree.

Review the class offerings, read the instructions for scheduling, and meet with your advisor to select courses for the next semester. You must sign up for classes for the semester in which you will be doing the actual work. Please review all the scheduling information carefully as it has dates for scheduling according to class level, dates for tuition payments, and information regarding pre­ requisites, corequisites and other course requirements. It is your responsibility to ensure that the classes you take count toward your degree program. You may, however, be required to take remedial courses (course numbers beginning with "0", such as MA081), which will not count toward graduation. Test Scores: When you apply for admission, you will send your ACT score to Lake Superior State Univer­ sity. Your score determines the level of English, math and reading classes into which you will be placed. If you have been out of high school more than 26 months and have not taken the ACT, you can take place­ ment tests at the Testing/Counsel­ ing Center at Lake State to deter­ mine your placement in English, math and reading. Maximum credit load: You may carry up to 20 credits per semester. You may take more credits if you have a 3.00 GPA or higher and have written approval from the associate provost. Students on academic pro­ bation should not take more than 15 credits. 10 • Lake Superior State University Prerequisites: Many courses require that you complete English, math, reading or other preliminary classes before signing up to take these courses. If you have not met the prerequisite, you not be allowed to sign up for the class. If yor regis­ tered into a course, and later found not to have the necessary prereq­ uisite, the instructor may drop you from the class with an N grade. Some courses require that you earn a C or better in prerequisite courses before scheduling for the next course. Exceptions may be made only by the dean of your college or the instructor of the subsequent class. Repeats: You may repeat a class in which you earn a grade other than "VI" or "N" only twice without special permission and only under thefollow­ ing conditions: 1. Courses transferred from other institutions are included in this policy. 2. Both the original and repeat grades will show on the tran­ script, but hours earned toward graduation will only count once. 3. For the purpose of calculating the cumulative grade point average, only the grade of the last attempt will be used, if the last class was taken at LSSU. If you transfer in a class to repeat a class from LSSU, the LSSU grade will be removed from your grade point average. 4. To repeat a course more than twice, the student must attain the permission of the course instructor and the associate provost. Permission is granted only under exceptional circum­ stances. This policy began fall 2001 for all new students either as transfer or new freshman. When repeating a course, you should check the R (repeat) column of the Course Reg­ istration Form. Failed Classes: If you fail a class required for your degree program, you must repeat the class and re- �ceive a passing grade. If the failed class is no longer offered because of program changes and/or course deletions, the academic chair can substitute a similar class. Drop/add period: You may change your class schedule during the first six (6) days of each 14-week semes­ ter. Courses you drop during the drop/add period will not appear on your permanent record. You must get an instructor's permission to schedule a course that is full or to waive a prerequisite requirement. Your add or withdrawal from a course is not officially complete until the appropriate form is completed and submitted to the Student Service Center. It's a good idea to retain the official receipt upon completion of any add or drop. Late adds: If you wish to add a class after the six-day drop/add period, you must first get a Schedule Ad­ justment Form from the Registrar's Office, and then get the instructor's signature. Return your Schedule Adjustment Form to the Student Service Center. Non-attendance of the first class: Your instructor may drop you from a course if you do not attend or if you do not call the instructor before classes begin. The course instructor will fill out a drop form and notify you if you are dropped from the course. Dropping after the add/delete period: You may drop a course during the first 40 days of a full semester (the last day to drop a class listed online at: http://www. lssu.edu/scheduling). Your record will show an "N" grade and your GPA will not be affected. To drop a class after the eight-week drop requires extenuating circum­ stances, and you must obtain a Withdrawal Form. You must: 1. Complete the form (including listing a reason for the drop). 2. Get the instructor's signature and the instructor's recommen­ dation. 3. Take the completed form to the associate provost (of the class being dropped), for his review and decision. 4. If the associate provost ap­ proves the drop, the student must then take the form back to the Student Service Center for processing. A W grade will appear on your per­ manent record and will not affect your GPA. Class attendance: Regular class attendance and active participation in classes are important elements in the learning process. You are at the University primarily for the sake of intellectual growth and development. Attendance and participation provide appropriate opportunities for the evaluation of your progress. You are personally responsible for the satisfactory completion of the course work prescribed by your in­ structors. This means that you are expected to attend classes regularly, and that you are responsible for the work assigned in class, the material covered in class, and for participa­ tion in class activities (including discussion and listening) designed by the instructor as part of the learning experience. However, mere physical attendance should not be a criterion for evaluation of your performance. Participation in an official Univer­ sity function is an excused absence when approved by the provost. You will not be penalized for such participation. You are responsible for work missed and must confer with your instructor on this matter. Complete withdrawal: If you are a full-time student and drop all of your classes during the first eight weeks of the semester, you may be eligible for tuition refund. To receive any refund, fill out a With­ drawal Form at the Student Service Center. This office will authorize your refund from the Business Of­ fice. (Please check online for the refund policy.) Lake Superior State University *11 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 ma­ jor and minor(s) is required. Some programs require a higher GPA in the major curriculum. Incomplete grades (I): An incom­ plete "I" grade can be issued in the case of extenuating circumstances beyond the control of the student that prevent completion of course requirements. Examples of extenu­ ating circumstances may include health issues, death of a parent/ spouse/child, or military service. Appropriate documentation is re­ quired. An "I" grade can be issued in a course, that by design, cannot be completed in one semester. You must make up the work by the date specified by the instructor. If a date is not given, the student will have a maximum of two semesters (ex­ cluding summer semesters) to com­ plete the requirements for remov­ ing the "I" grades. Two semesters after the issuance of the "I" grade, if the professor has not completed a Grade Change Form or requested an extension, the Registrar's Office will change the "I" grade to an "F" grade. �Academic Standing Table Full- and Part-Time Students Academic Probation and Dismissal Policy effective Summer 2005 Cumulative Quality (QHRS) Credits Carried at LSSU Minimum for Good Standing* On Probation Dismissal 1 -18.99 2.00 less than 2.00 two consecutive semesters on probation 19 - or more 2.00 less than 2.00 two consecutive semesters on probation or 1.60 or less gpa QHRS are the hours used in figuring the grade point aver­ age.

Grade change: You may request your instructor to review and change a grade within two semes­ ters after completion. The instructor fills in and sends a Grade Change Form to the Registrar's Office. Dean's List: Full-time students carrying at least 12 graded credits of college-level courses (100 level or above) in a semester with a grade point average of 3.5 or higher, and not having any incomplete (I) grades, will earn Dean's List hon­ ors, which acknowledge outstand­ ing academic achievement. If you have an incomplete (I) grade, you may take steps to resolve the grade. Once you resolve the grade, notify the Provost's Office if your grade point average is 3.50 or higher for the semester. Upon your notifica­ tion, the Provost's Office will verify your record, send you a letter of congratulations, and notify the Public Relations Office for press release purposes. Credit/No Credit Courses You may enroll in some courses on a credit/no credit basis if you are in good academic standing. The fol­ lowing conditions exist: 1. One course per semester may be taken as credit/no credit. 2. Only 12 credits of courses taken as credit/no credit may be ap­ plied toward a degree. 3. 4. Courses that are required by your major, minor, or that are general education courses, can not be taken for credit/no credit. You apply at the Registrar's Office to enroll for a credit/no credit course during the drop/ add period; cannot change to regular grades after the drop/ add period ends. 5. You maintain a 2.00 C aver­ age in a course to receive a CR grade. 6. Instructors are not notified that you are taking a course as credit/no credit; the CR or NCR credit is assigned based on the grade your instructor submits. Certain courses are always offered with a credit/no credit format. These courses have this information in the official course description and course syllabi. The policy and limitations outlined above do not apply to these courses. Cheating and Plagiarism: The assumption of the academic contract is that the student does his or her own work: any breach of the contract is considered cheating. The faculty member who detects a student cheating may take appro­ priate action, such as assigning a failing grade for the entire course. A student who cheats is subject to dismissal from the University. If, in the opinion of the faculty member involved, such action is warranted, he or she will notify the chairman of the Scholastic Standards Com­ mittee and the student in writing. The Scholastic Standards Commit­ tee will then conduct a hearing in such a manner that the student is given due process. If the committee decides that dismissal is warranted, the student shall have five school days to appeal that decision to the provost of the University. Credit by Examination There are three examination pro­ cesses you can take to earn credit for individual courses or general education requirements. They include: 1. Advanced placement 2. CLEP examinations — Inquire at the Student Services Center, Lake Superior State University *13 Counseling Center or with the assistant to the provost for aca­ demic records for information on the CLEP examinations. 3.

In carrying out this policy, the University complies with all federal and state laws and regulations pro­ hibiting discrimination including: Executive Order 11246, the ElliottLarsen Civil Rights Act of 1976, Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, The Equal Pay Act of 1963, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended by the Equal Em­ ployment Opportunity Act of 1972, and the Pregnancy Discrimination Act of 1978, Title IX of the Educa­ tion Amendments of 1972, Titles VII and VIII of the Public Health Ser­ vice Act, Age Discrimination in Em­ ployment Act of 1967, Sections 503 and 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, Veteran's Assistance Act of 1972, and Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. Sexual Harassment The University is committed to a policy of nondiscrimination on the basis of gender. Discrimination because of gender includes sexual harassment, which means unwel­ come sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct or communication of a sexual nature when: i. Submission to such conduct or communication is made a term or condition either explicitly or implicitly to obtain employ­ ment, public accommodations or public services, education, or housing; instances of discrimination and discriminatory harassment. Once the University has been informed of such behavior, it will take timely and appropri­ ate steps to investigate the problem. At any step of the grievance process, time sched­ ules as outlined in the process may be extended by mutual agreement in writing. ii. Submission to or rejection of such conduct or communica­ tion by an individual is used as a factor in decisions affecting such individual's employment, public accommodations or public services, education, or housing; or iii. Such conduct or communica­ tion has the purpose or effect of substantially interfering with an individual's employment, public accommodations or public services, education, or housing environment. The University is committed to the protection of the rights of all indi­ viduals and to the elimination of barriers that would prevent indi­ viduals from realizing their high­ est potential of human excellence. Sexual harassment is a particularly noxious form of discrimination that interferes with these goals and com­ mitments, and is difficult to combat due to the intimidation and destruc­ tion of self esteem of its victims. 2. With the Grievance Officer, in­ dividuals may discuss concerns they may have regarding pos­ sible discrimination or harass­ ment to learn what options are available. 3. Nonretaliation: The University not only prohibits discrimina­ tion, including harassment, but also strictly prohibits any retaliation against any indi­ vidual, who, in good faith, has registered a complaint under this procedure. Any supervi­ sor, agent, or employee of the University who, after investi­ gation, has been determined to have retaliated against any individual for using the com­ plaint procedure in this policy, will be subject to appropriate discipline up to and includ­ ing immediate discharge. If an individual believes he or she has been retaliated against for exercising his or her rights under this policy, the individ­ ual should use this complaint procedure. 4. All matters discussed in this process will be kept as confi­ dential as possible. 5. If an individual is dissatisfied with the University's investiga­ tion process or resolution, he or she may file complaints of illegal discrimination on the basis of gender (Title IX and Title VI) or disability (Section 504 and Title II of the ADA) with the Office for Civil Rights, U.S. Department of Education, Chicago, IL 60605. A Title IX, Title VI, Section 504, or Title II ADA complaint must be filed Grievance Officer The Equal Employment Opportu­ nity Officer/Affirmative Action Of­ ficer (EEO Officer) is the designated grievance officer for discrimination complaints. If any person believes that he or she has been subjected to discrimination, including harass­ ment by unlawful and unacceptable expressions, acts, attitudes and/or behaviors based on race, color, national origin or ancestry, gender, age, disability, religion, height, weight, sexual preference, marital status, or veteran status, he or she should contact Ms. Beverly White, EEO Officer, Lake Superior State University Administration Build­ ing, Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan 49783 (906-635-2697) within sixty (60) working days of the action of which the person complains. Process 1. The University encourages all individuals to promptly report 20 • Lake Superior State University �in writing with the Office for Civil Rights no later than 180 days after the occurrence of the possible discrimination. 6. Individuals have the right under the law to seek remedies from the Michigan Depart­ ment of Civil Rights, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the Office for Civil Rights, U.S. Department of Education or by court action at the same time a grievance is filed under the University's procedure, during or after the use of the grievance process, or without using the grievance process at all. STEP 1: Informal Complaint Any individual (complainant) with a discrimination or harassment complaint, may contact the Griev­ ance Officer in person. The Grievance Officer will speak with the complainant and try to resolve the matter on an informal basis. At Step 1, all information will be kept confidential to the extent possible. STEP 2: Formal Complaint If the problem cannot be resolved at Step 1 within five (5) working days from the date of first contact with the Grievance Officer, the complainant may submit a written complaint on a form provided by the Grievance Officer. The Griev­ ance Officer will help the com­ plainant complete the form if the complainant requests. Within five (5) working days of the receipt of the written complaint, the Grievance Officer will send a Notice of Complaint, a copy of the complaint form, a response form and a copy of this procedure to the respondent. The respondent will submit the completed response form within five (5) working days from the date the complaint is received by the respondent. The Grievance Officer will conduct an investigation. The investigation should be completed within twenty (20) working days after receipt of the response. If the complaint is against the University as the Employer, the Grievance Officer will have thirty (30) days from the receipt of the written complaint to investigate the matter. Within ten (10) working days of completion of the investigation, the Grievance Officer will issue to the complainant and to the respondent a written Determination stating whether the allegations of the com­ plaint are true and any remedial action recommended. At Step 2, information will be kept confidential to the extent possible.

The Grievance Officer will send a Notice of Hearing and a copy of the Request for Hearing to the complainant, respondent (if any), and Hearing Panel, scheduling the hearing within fifteen (15) working days, unless the Panel Chairperson provides otherwise and so notifies those involved. At the hearing, the complainant and respondent will be allowed to give their own testimony, present the testimony of witnesses, docu­ mentary evidence or other evidence relevant to the proceedings and cross-examine the other party's witnesses. The complainant and Lake Superior State University *21 respondent may have an attor­ ney or other advisor present. The Grievance Officer will present the findings of the investigation con­ ducted at Step 2 and may present witnesses, if appropriate. To ensure the privacy of those involved, wit­ nesses (other than the complainant and respondent) will be allowed in the hearing room only during their testimony. At the Chairperson's discretion, the hearing may be recorded. Within fifteen (15) working days after completion of the hearing, the Chairperson will issue the Deci­ sion and recommended order of the Hearing Panel. The Decision will be mailed to the complainant and respondent with a copy to the Grievance Officer. The Chairperson will implement any action recom­ mended by the Panel. STEP 4: Appeal The decision of the Hearing Panel will be final and binding.

Ap­ plications are processed continu­ ously and you will be notified of a decision within two weeks. To complete your admission file you must submit a final high school transcript and ACT scores (if you graduated from high school within 26 months of entering LSSU). Final high school transcript must verify graduation from an accredited school or passing on the GED. To be considered official, all tran­ scripts must be mailed from your high school guidance office directly to Lake Superior State University. LSSU assigns each student an individual student identification number. Your student number will be provided to you after your application is complete. While we do not use social security numbers as your student identification, we do use it to match your application record with your other permanent records. Financial aid applications will not be processed without your social security number. Social se­ curity numbers should be included on your application for admission. Canadian applicants should not use their social insurance number. An alternative number will be assigned to Canadian and other foreign students. The primary factors in determin­ ing admission are ACT* scores and grade point average. LSSU uses an overall grade point average (GPA). The average overall GPA for the 2003 freshman class was 3.00 on a scale of a 4.0. The average ACT composite score was a 21. Students whose ACT or GPA levels approach but do not meet LSSU standards may be admitted via the University Studies program. University Studies is dedicated to providing an educational opportu­ nity to students who meet certain profiles. Students who are admitted via University Studies receive addi­ tional advising and support services to ensure their success at LSSU. If you are admitted via University Studies, you will be fully entered into your chosen major after meet­ ing these three simple require­ ments: * * earn a 2.00 GPA, and * 22 • Lake Superior State University earn 12 credits at the 100 level or above, be eligible for 100-level math, reading and composition courses. �Students denied regular admis­ sion may reapply after attending another accredited college and earning at least 19 semester (29 quarter) hours of transferable credit. Evaluation for admission is then based upon the college record. *Although LSSU prefers you take the ACT, we will accept equivalent SAT scores to determine admission. ACT The ACT is offered nationally five times a year at many locations in­ cluding our campus. Registration forms are available in high school counseling offices or by contact­ ing the LSSU Counseling and Testing Center at 906-635- 2733. United States residents applying for academic scholarships must have their ACT scores sent prior to the April 1 scholarship dead­ line. Transfer Students Transfer students must possess a 2.0 cumulative college GPA and be eligible to return to your for­ mer college(s). If you have com­ pleted fewer than 19 semester (29 quarter) hours of credit, you must send an official high school tran­ script or GED scores in addition to your college transcript (and ACT scores if you graduated from high school within 26 months of the semester of entry). Credit Evaluations Official evaluation of transfer credit is made as quickly as pos­ sible after you are admitted. The Admissions Office will help you with an unofficial transcript re­ view at your request. If a course taken at another institu­ tion is not offered at LSSU, elec­ tive credit may be granted for that course. Elective credits may be ap­ plied toward degree requirements but may not be used to satisfy any specific course requirement. Grades less than C- will not transfer. 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. requirements at Lake Superior State University. Residency Requirement There is no limit to the number of transfer credits allowed from other institutions. Bachelor's degree can­ didates must earn at least 32 cred­ its and at least 50 percent of their departmental required 300/400level credits in LSSU courses. Regional center students must earn at least 32 credits and at least 50 percent of their departmental required 300/400-level credits in Lake State courses.

Tech Prep The national tech prep movement is supported at LSSU. As a testi­ mony of its institutional support, grades earned in applied high school science and mathemat­ ics courses contribute to the high school GPA computed for univer­ sity admission. Tech prep, with its emphasis upon curricular integra­ tion between secondary and post­ secondary educational institutions, helps Lake State create a broader array of educational options for our students. Dual Enrollment for High School Students Knowing that some talented high school students will benefit from taking university courses while in high school, qualified students are challenged to take coursework at LSSU. Before you register for any class, be sure you meet the follow­ ing criteria: • complete the Dual Enrollment Form (available at the LSSU Center for Career and Employ­ ment Services or your high school guidance office), • be at least a high school junior, • enroll in 100- or 200-level courses; • 300-400 courses are available with department approval; and • be sure to take any required placement tests or prerequisite courses. (A prerequisite is a course that must be completed before the other course can be taken.) Lake Superior State University has articulation agreements with area high schools to enhance applied and career educational opportuni­ ties at the post-secondary level. In tandem with its regional secondary education partners, LSSU has cre­ ated pathways to applied education for specified curricula in busi­ ness and technology. University course credits count toward degree requirements for high school work if certain competencies are met. Check with your high school guid­ ance counselor or an LSSU admis­ sions advisor to verify whether a specific course may apply.

Easterday Ave., Sault Ste. Marie, MI 49783. You may also file your FAFSA on-line at www.fafsa.ed.gov.

Scholarship requirements: Incom­ ing freshmen must have a minimum 32 • Lake Superior State University GPA of 3.0 and ACT of 19 to qualify for an LSSU scholarship. The recipi­ ent of any award must be a full-time student carrying 12 academic hours or more each semester (except re­ gional center recipients). Scholarship recipients are usually selected based on competitive exam­ inations, scholastic records and/or financial need. The American Col­ lege Test serves as the University's primary test for scholarship appli­ cants. Test results must be on file by April 1. All freshmen who are Michigan residents are encouraged to com­ plete the Michigan Educational Assessment Program (MEAP) test to determine eligibility for additional state aid. You and your parents or guardian must complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to apply for federal aid. The form must be received by the processor before March 1 to assure priority aid consideration. Satisfactory Academic Progress Requirements for the Retention of Financial Aid Ifyou are receiving any form offinan­ cial aid, you must meet these satisfac­ tory academic progress requirements to retain your aid each semester. Financial aid regulations require that a student must make satisfac­ tory progress to remain eligible for financial aid. Financial aid pro­ grams affected by this policy are Federal Pell Grant, Federal Perkins Loan, Federal Work-Study, Federal Supplemental Educational Oppor­ tunity Grant, Federal Direct Loans, Federal PLUS Loans, State of Michi­ gan and Institutional Scholarships, Grants, Loan and Work Programs. �The following policy is the minimum requirement for all types of financial aid; however, there are some types of aid with more stringent requirements (see scholarship requirements): Qualitative Standards Every student must maintain, at the end of each semester, a cumulative grade point average (GPA) of at least: Cumulative GPA Credits Attempted* 1.70 1.86 1.93 1.97 0-25 credits 26-55 credits 56-87 credits 88 or more credits *Semester Hours (includes transfer credit hours) Probationary Semester: First-year freshmen and new transfer students not meeting the GPA requirement after their first semester at LSSU will be placed on financial aid probation for one semester. The cumulative GPA after the probationary semester must satisfy the minimum GPA or the student will have his/her finan­ cial aid suspended. For example, a freshman "attempting" 16 credits each semester would need to have a cumulative GPA of at least 1.86 to receive aid the following year. Current Students: Students that have been enrolled for more than one semester will not have a proba­ tionary semester and must meet the schedule above for each semester. Transfer Students: The require­ ments for transfer students are based on the number of full-time equivalent credits transferred to LSSU. For example, a student with 68 transfer credits must earn a GPA of 1.93 or higher. Quantitative Standards Each student's progress in credits earned will be reviewed every se­ mester. The following credits must be earned in relation to the number of credits enrolled at the end of the add period: Undergraduate Students Fall/Spring/Summer Semester Enrolled Credits to be Credits Earned 12+ 11 10 9 8 7 6 5-1 9 8 7 6 6 5 4 100% Graduate Students Fall/Spring Semester Enrolled Credits to be Credits Earned 10+ 9 8 7 6 5 7 6 6 5 4 4 4-1 100% If a student does not satisfactorily meet the quantitative standard, he/ she will be placed on financial aid probation for the next semester. If a student fails to meet the standard for the second consecutive semester enrolled, his/her financial aid will be suspended. Part-time students enrolled for less than six credits must earn all credits attempted. Once financial aid is suspended, both the GPA and credit hour completion criteria must be met in subsequent semesters of six credits or more before reinstatement of aid is possible. If completion of "I" grades or other record changes warrant a reinstate­ ment, a written notice from the Registrar's Office must be presented to the Financial Aid Office by the end of the semester following can­ cellation of aid by the student. Financial Aid Suspension: No aid will be granted once a student's eligi­ bility is suspended, including but not limited to the Federal Direct Stafford Loan, Federal Perkins Loan, Federal Lake Superior State University • 33 �150% Completion Rule To qualify for federal financial aid, students must complete a program within 150% of the timeframe required for the pro­ gram. For example, a student working on an associate (twoyear) degree must complete the degree within six semesters of full-time study. Students may not "attempt" more than 150% of the credits required for the degree. The average baccaulaureate pro­ gram requires 124 credits, so the maximum number of attempted credits is 186. Appeals to this general rule must include an advisor's signed copy of your degree au­ dit with your anticipated gradu­ ation date. Direct PLUS Loan, Federal WorkStudy, Federal Supplemental Edu­ cational Opportunity Grant, Federal Pell Grant, Michigan Competitive Scholarship, Michigan Adult PartTime Grant, Michigan Educational Opportunity Grant, Michigan Work Study and Institutional Scholarships and Grants. Financial Aid Reinstatement: To remove financial aid suspen­ sion status for qualitative reasons, a student must have attained the minimum cumulative grade point average and credit-earned require­ ments (minimum six credit hours) at Lake Superior State University, while not receiving financial aid. In additiona, students who suc­ cessfully complete 26 credits at a community college after being suspended at LSSU will be allowed one probationary semester upon readmission. Successful students must advise the Financial Aid Office in writing that they have met the requirements for reinstatement of the qualitative standard. Right to Appeal: A student whose aid is suspended may request reinstatement through the Financial Aid Committee. To obtain reinstate­ ment, the student must effectively demonstrate that their poor perfor­ mance was due to some unusual circumstance. Such requests should be in writing and be received im­ mediately following the semester of the suspension. Scholarships are awarded on aca­ demic excellence and may not be reinstated by appeal.

Upward Bound Upward Bound is a federally funded TRIO program which LSSU has successfully hosted since 1965. This is a free college-preparatory program for low income students and/or students whose parents do not have college degrees. The pro­ gram provides academic support, career exploration and advising, and cultural growth experiences designed to enhance educational success. Upward Bound works with these students year-round throughout high school to pre­ pare them to enter and succeed in 60 • Lake Superior State University Student-Faculty Relations Committee (Appeals) Function. The Student-Faculty Relations Committee provides a fo­ rum for resolving conflicts between students and faculty members which may arise with classroom or course-related activities, policies or procedures. The committee will not consider cases involving ADA compliance or any other matter it deems inappropriate. This commit­ tee is strictly an informal mediation body which will forward recom­ mendations for resolution to the parties involved (with a copy to the executive vice president and provost). Membership. The University president appoints the committee membership to two-year terms. There are four faculty representa­ tives (at least one from each col­ lege) and four student representa­ tives. The chair is chosen by the committee membership. Procedures 1. If a student (or group of students) wishes to raise an issue related to a course which he/she is taking or has taken (normally within one semester), the student should attempt to resolve the issue at the stu­ dent/ faculty, department head or appropriate college dean level. If the matter cannot be resolved at the lowest pos­ sible levels, the student may appeal to the Student-Faculty Relations committee informing them of the problem. In excep­ tional cases, the student may approach the Student-Faculty Relations Committee directly. 2. To bring an issue before the Student-Faculty Relations com­ mittee, the student must notify the Student-Faculty Relations Committee in writing. This document must clearly explain the situation and include the stu­ dent's name, current address, a �message telephone number and times when the student is avail­ able to meet with the committee. Supporting documentation may be included as well. The writ­ ten appeal should be submitted directly to the committee chair. The Executive Vice President and Provost's Office will know the name of tire committee chair. 3. Once tire committee members have had an opportunity to review the student's concern, they will conduct air informal fact-finding process. As a part of the process, the student will be invited to meet with the com­ mittee for further clarification. This meeting will be 20 minutes in length with 10 minutes of question and answer by tire committee. The other party will also be invited to meet with the committee following the same fomrat. Both parties will then be asked to meet together with tire committee in an effort to foster communication, clarification and resolution. The most desirable arrangement would be for this step to occur at one setting. The Lake Superior State University • 61 committee will strive to be as expeditious as possible. There may be extenuating circum­ stances such as semester break or summer recess. 4. If there is no resolution after this joint meeting of tire parties in­ volved, or if the outcome of this process is not acceptable to the student or tire faculty member, he/she may appeal to the execu­ tive vice president and provost of tire University. 5. The committee will keep no permanent records. �Computer Services LSSU Information Technology offers a variety of services and programs for students. Classroom laboratories provide for instruction that involves computers and/or software.

Marie, Michigan, and Sault College, in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, are just a 15-minute car ride apart. In spite of being located in different countries, our cities are closer to each other than they are to municipalities in their home state or province. So, community leaders encourage initiatives that strengthen the ties between us and take advantage of shared resourc­ es. The belief is we have more to offer by working together. Lake Superior State University and Sault College have enjoyed a good working relationship for many years. In 2001, some articu­ lations were revitalized, new ones were struck and it was decided to establish the International University College Division. The division allows full-time students in some program areas to be dualenrolled. In computer science/ studies, criminal justice or liberal studies/teacher education, agree­ ments have been signed which encourage students to take ad­ vantage of the diverse faculty and resources available at both schools as they pursue their degrees and/ or diplomas. Getting involved in the Interna­ tional Division is straightforward — consult with the academic department, fill in a Dual Enroll­ ment Form and submit it to the Registrar's Office. As a dual-en­ rolled student, you are permitted to take one course per semester at the other school. Through the extra advising available to you, you can fit these courses into your overall academic plan and semes­ ter timetables. You register for all courses through your home school registrar and your academic infor- mation is transferred automatically at the conclusion of each semester. As long as you meet the required academic standards, you will con­ tinue to enjoy these advantages of attending both schools: • the combination of applied, "hands-on" training and theo­ retical understanding • more course choices • access to many of the stu­ dent services and academic resources (e.g. wider selec­ tion of equipment, libraries, student centers, peer tutoring, etc.) available at both institu­ tions • accessible professors through small classes, labs and office hours • interaction with fellow stu­ dents from another country — a good basis for a network of contacts that can assist you in your life's work ahead • greater employment options and advancement opportunities Dual-enrolled students pursuing the bachelor of science in comput­ er science or computer network­ ing gain these particular benefits: • professors with a wide variety of computer-based qualifica­ tions and areas of expertise • exposure to, and opportunity to work with, more types of hardware and software than would be available at either institution on its own • plenty of equipment available for hands-on experience • more than 70% of the major courses with a lab component 64 • Lake Superior State University • opportunity to earn worldrecognized CISCO CCNA and Microsoft MCSE certifications • Innovative, relevant programs which adjust quickly to both changing technology and em­ ployers' needs For more specific information re­ garding computer-based degrees and participation in the Interna­ tional University College Division, please refer to page 108 of this catalog. Dual-enrolled students in the criminal justice degree programs benefit from the continuing educa­ tion opportunities developed by both schools for people currently working in public safety. LSSU does this through its academy, providing MCOLES (Michigan Commission on Law Enforce­ ment Standards) and Michigan Firefighter Training Council certification. Sault College offers advanced training and certifica­ tion for Ontario Provincial Police and municipal police officers at its Law Enforcement Training Centre. Refer to www.saultc.on.ca for more information about Sault Col­ lege's participation in the Interna­ tional University College Division. You can also visit LSSU's website at www.lssu.edu/advantage. �Degree Requirements Lake Superior State University offers bachelor (also called bacca­ laureate) degrees, associate degrees and certificates, as well as a master of arts degree in curriculum and instruction.

All but six credits required for the minor must be LSSU credits. Failed Classes If you fail a class required for your degree program, you must repeat the class and receive a passing grade. If the failed class is no longer offered because of program changes and/or course deletions, the Associate Provost can substitute another similar class. Exceptions to Graduation Requirements Exceptions to specific general education requirements may be granted only by the Scholastic Standards Committee. Such ex­ ceptions are infrequently made. A petition for exceptions to general education requirements is initiated with the assistant to the provost for academic records. Course substitutions and waivers of departmental degree program requirements may be granted only by the chair of the school offering the program (major or minor). Normally, you will graduate under the program degree require­ ments in effect and published in the Catalog at the time you are admitted into the given degree program, provided enrollment at the University is continuous. If enrollment is interrupted, or if you select a new major, you must satisfy program requirements in effect at the time you reenter or of­ ficially change to the new major. If program requirements are revised during your enrollment, you will be allowed to graduate under the new requirements pro-viding you can meet such requirements in their entirety. The University reserves the right to change the requirements for graduation at any time as a means of keeping pace with educational developments affecting the vari­ ous curricula. As such changes are made, they may, at the discre­ tion of the University, be applied to students already enrolled. In such cases, reasonable and pru­ dent effort will be made to provide the benefit of the new educational program without imposing undue hardship. 68 • Lake Superior State University �Graduation Procedures Degree candidacy procedure: Two semesters before students plan to complete degree requirements and graduate, they must submit an appropriate departmental degree audit for each major and minor, and a Declaration of Candidacy for Degree to the assistant to the provost for Academic Records. The necessary forms are available at the student's major departmental office. The departmental Degree Audit for a student's major or minor speci­ fies all required courses that have been or must be completed. The audit must be signed by the chair of the school offering the major or minor program. Course substitu­ tions and waivers of departmental degree program requirements may be granted only by the chair of the school offering the major or minor program. Exceptions to specific general education requirements may be granted only by the Scho­ lastic Standards Committee. Such exceptions are infrequently made. A petition for exceptions to general education requirements is initiated with the assistant to the provost for academic records. The assistant to the provost checks students' Degree Audits, after which a preliminary verification of the Degree Audit is sent to each student and respective school chair. Students are responsible for examin­ ing this verification and requesting clarification of anything that is not consistent with their records or un­ derstanding. From the Declaration of Candi­ dacy for Degree forms submitted by students, a potential graduate list is created for each semester. Names for the commencement program and diploma will be the official, legal name as listed in the records of the University. The names of students who are listed in the annual com­ mencement program are also com­ piled from Declaration of Candidacy for Degree forms. Students may not be listed in the commencement program unless their Degree Candi­ dacy Form is filed with the assistant to the provost six weeks prior to com­ mencement. Students are expected to attend commencement exercises unless excused by the assistant to the provost. Students completing degree requirements during the summer may participate in commencement the previous semester if their degree candidacy form is received six weeks prior to commencement. After grades are received at the end of each semester, Degree Audits will be updated for all students complet­ ing credit and who have a Degree Candidacy Form on file. When all requirements specified on the Degree Audit are fulfilled, the col­ lege dean and/or school chair and assistant to the provost give a final approval. Names of these gradu­ ates are then sent to the president for approval by the Board of Trustees. Subsequently, a diploma is provided to each student. Diploma charge: There is no charge for the first diploma from the Uni­ versity. A fee is charged for replace­ ment diplomas. Students completing graduation requirements in the fall semes­ ter or summer, or who otherwise need documentation of completion before their diploma is available, may request a letter certifying that they have completed degree re­ quirements. Additionally, official University transcripts will be sent to any employer, graduate university, or elsewhere, as requested by the graduate. Official transcripts will not be mailed to students. Graduation with honors: Honors graduates must earn at least 32 cred­ its at Lake Superior State University. Students who earn 3.50 to 3.69 will graduate cum laude; 3.70 to 3.89, Lake Superior State University • 69 �magna cum laude; 3.90 to 4.00, summa cum laude. Graduation diplomas with honors will be awarded to baccalaureate and associate's and certificate re­ cipients. Honors medallions will be awarded only to baccalaureate and associate's degree recipients who graduate summa cum laude. Delinquent Accounts Students with delinquent accounts may be removed from class, have their diploma withheld, and/or have transcript requests denied. Honors Degree The University Honors Program offers highly motivated students the opportunity to develop their abilities and skills in exciting and innovative ways. The central goal of the University honors pro­ gram is to create a community of scholars characterized by strong student-faculty interaction around the world of ideas. The honors program fosters an approach to education that incorporates the qualities of active participation, intellectual curiosity and an inter­ disciplinary focus. Selection is based upon a number of factors, including: ACT scores, high school grade point aver­ age, application essay, personal interview and Lake State faculty nomination. Students invited to participate in the program enroll in courses designated for honors credit. The courses are distrib­ uted among the requirements for general education, the student's major, and the University honors program and may include small seminars or independent research projects. To graduate with an honors degree in a program of study, the honors student must have formal accep­ tance into the University honors program and have successfully completed 21 honors credit hours with an overall grade point aver­ age of 3.3 or better at graduation. The 21 honors credit hours are to be distributed among the Univer­ sity'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 pro­ gram of study. The honors degree designation is indicated on the student's diploma and is distinct from graduating with honors (see Graduation with Honors). 70 • Lake Superior State University �School of Biological Sciences Dr. Thomas A.

Since managers must achieve the organization's goals through the efforts of other indi­ viduals, the practice of manage­ ment is concerned with human be­ havior. Managers are involved with designing effective organization structures, controlling operations, making effective decisions, and communicating, motivating and leading personnel. Additionally, an effective manager must design programs to develop people's abili­ ties and talents, understand the role and impact of technology on the organization and be aware of and respond to social challenges both domestically and internationally. A career in management is both chal­ lenging and rewarding. The management major is de­ signed to provide students with a broad background in business by presenting courses covering the functional areas of business.

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 MCOLES certification and 92 ad­ ditional hours following the NRT degree.

Program Description: This degree is designed to provide both the necessary certifications to enter the fire service and also the general education and background necessary for advancement to higher rank and supervisory level. There are three tracks a student may pursue to obtain the degree. Fire Science Generalist Emphasis —This program is designed to pre­ pare graduates for careers in the area of fire protection, education, fire equip­ ment service/supply and emergency planning. Students may select a minor of their choice. For those who are going to pursue work in a career fire depart­ ment, a minor in paramedic technol­ ogy is strongly recommended. Others may select a minor which is more applicable to their own career aspira­ tions such as management, computer technology, public administration, environmental science or other area. Fire Science Hazardous Materials Emphasis — This program combines a major in fire science with a minor in chemistry. A graduate with a de­ gree in this emphasis may work in the area of environmental protection and quality, water quality, hazard­ ous waste disposal, or hazardous chemical mitigation/clean-up. Positions are available in the private and public sectors. In the case of fire service, graduates may work as a member or supervisor of a hazard­ ous materials response team dealing with an accident or release of dan­ gerous products. Positions in emer­ gency planning are also available. With the continued emphasis on homeland security and the threats of a biological or chemical attack upon a civilian population, readiness and response are vital to saving lives. Fire Science Engineering Emphasis — The combination of fire science and engineering courses provides a graduate with the knowledge neces­ sary to evaluate building plans and designs from the standpoint of fire behavior and safety. The design of fire protective systems and alarms is important to the protection of life and property. There are also posi­ tions available in firms and govern­ mental organizations which conduct materials testing and fire behavior research. Graduates may also wish to continue their education to obtain a graduate degree. Professional qualifications, such as that of Fire Protection Engineer, or other state/ province designations, may also be obtained. Career Descriptions: Firefighter — Works for fire depart­ ments at the local, state and federal levels; works for the armed forces and the U.S. Department of the Interior; suppresses structural and other types of fires using a variety of methods; acts as emergency medical technician or paramedic. Fire Safety Officer — Works in industry and for the government as fire inspector and safety officer; con­ ducts safety and fire surveys; plans for fire and other disasters. Fire Protection Systems Designer — Designs fire protection systems for industry; provides consulting services for industry and other orga­ nizations. Hazardous Materials Specialist — Works in industry as a manager of hazardous materials; safety of­ ficer; consultant for industry in the area of hazardous materials. Fire Officer/Chief Officer — Leads and manages the fire department. Provides command at the scene of emergencies. Prepares budgets; sets and administers department policies; supervises training; ensures compliance with local, state and federal law; conducts fire preven­ tion/code enforcement efforts; and manages day-to-day operations. The chief also serves as an advisor to local government and keeps the community prepared for emergency response.

It involves the study of changes that are tak­ ing and have taken place and the forces that cause these changes. For example, geologists interpret the movements of the continents over geologic time and the formation of mountains, volcanoes and other features of the Earth's surface. Ge­ ologists attempt to understand our physical environment from which we derive most of the natural resources essential to civilization. They investigate the processes that led to the formation of mineral de­ posits, and oil, gas and coal. They also study environmental change throughout the history of the Earth and how those changes and the development of life are related. Ge­ ologists attempt to predict natural disasters such as earthquakes, vol­ canic eruptions, and landslides, and they are very active in modeling groundwater flow to develop water reserves for municipalities and to protect groundwater from contami­ nation. Geologists study the natural world and apply their knowledge to achieve harmony between the human race and its environment. Career Descriptions: 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 extrac­ tion of metallic and non-metallic mineral resources such as gold, iron, uranium, diamonds, day and limestone.

MfgET is a profession that gives you the expertise to develop tools, processes, machines and equip­ ment to make quality products at a reasonable cost. The profession also involves working with and coordi­ nation of people from several other fields. In addition to providing a strong background in the fundamentals of manufacturing engineering technology, the program places an emphasis in the application of com­ puter systems to modem manufac­ turing. This includes topics such as robotics, computer-aided design (CAD), programmable logic con­ trollers (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 under­ graduate teaching excellence. Students pursuing the B.S. degree in manufacturing at LSSU have the option to specialize in robotics and automation. LSSU is one of only three universities in the U.S. to offer the robotics specialization in the TAC of ABET-accredited* manufac­ turing engineering technology B.S. degree. LSSU is home to one of the best robotics educational facilities in North America. Graduates with this emphasis have had nearly 100 percent job placement with high and competitive starting salaries. Your emphasis of study in this option will be identified on your transcripts. 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 lead­ ing edge of this evolution. Bachelor of Science Options: General Robotics and Automation Career Description: 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 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 sys­ tems, computer-aided design and manufacturing, quality control, robotics applications, automotive component manufacturing, design of manufacturing processes and equipment, maintenance, sales and management of manufactur­ ing systems. Some graduates have also transferred to graduate schools to pursue master's and doctoral degrees.

Many who major in the field of mathematics combine those studies with education courses and obtain employment as teachers. People with mathematics degrees are found in a broad range of occupa­ tions where quantitative skills are needed; one of the largest employ­ ers of mathematics is the National Security Agency. Often a minor field of study (such as computer science) provides the supporting credential for entry-level jobs. Actuarial and Business Applications: The actuarial and business applica­ tions option combines mathemati­ cal knowledge with quantitative business applications. The result is a very marketable degree that provides many exciting career opportunities for graduates. A stu­ dent should be prepared to take the first actuarial examination in the spring of his/her junior year and the second examination the follow­ ing spring. A student choosing this emphasis will complete a minor in accounting-finance. Teaching degrees — A comple­ tion of a fifth-year internship and graduate course work qualifies you for elementary or secondary teacher certification in Michigan and Ontario, as well as reciprocity with several other states. Graduate school — An undergrad­ uate mathematics major with em­ phasis on abstraction, together with an analytical approach to problem solving, continues to provide strong preparation for graduate work in diverse fields — especially when combined with a minor in the related field. Statistician — Government agencies such as the Bureau of Labor employ statisticians to monitor the consumer price index, employment statistics and the like. Industries use statisticians in their efforts to forecast future needs, to implement quality control, and to design information-gathering strategies. Research Assistant — Mathematicians are sometimes needed as members of a multi­ discipline research team, responsible for creating a mathematical model of a realworld process or context, which then is used to help solve problems of interest to the team's efforts.

Marie, MI 49783 e-mail: candaiy@lssu.edu telephone: 906-635-2104 There is essentially a three-step process in becoming a licensed attorney. First, an individual must complete an un­ dergraduate degree at a college or uni­ versity. Second, one must then go on to law school to obtain a juris doctor degree. Finally, successful completion of the state bar exam is required for licensure. In being admitted into law school, the two most important factors that are evaluated by most law schools are undergraduate grades and Law School Admission Test (LSAT) scores — an entrance exam required of nearly all law schools in the United States and some in Canada. The American Bar Association and most law schools do not recommend any particular undergraduate major before going on to law school. Con­ sequently, a student should choose a major in which he/she has both interest and aptitude. Yet, there are important skills, values, and certain knowledge that can be acquired prior to law school which will assist a stu­ dent in being successful at law school. Such values and knowledge include: analytical and problem-solving skills, critical reading abilities, writing skills, oral communication and listening abil­ ities, research skills, task organization and management skills, ethical values, and, of course, knowledge of the law. In fact, a prelaw minor is available at LSSU which consists of courses that will assist a prelaw student in further developing these skills, values and knowledge. Since there is no required prelaw major, the American Bar Association and law schools strongly recommend that law school bound students contact the Prelaw Advisor at their university as early in the educational process as possible. At LSSU, our approach to advising prelaw students is very individualized. We want to help each student fulfill their goals and to be suc­ cessful at law school and beyond. The Prelaw Advisor at LSSU can provide individualized guidance with regard to selecting an undergraduate curriculum (both a major and a minor); recommending particular courses that will enhance necessary skills, values and knowledge; assisting in the law school admission process; and provid­ ing relevant career and professional trend information. Although there is no recommended or required prelaw curriculum, there are some excellent options that students may want to consider at LSSU. The following LSSU programs include key components with regard to legal knowledge as well as writing, analyti­ cal and research skills: • Business Administration-Legal Management (major) • Legal Assistant Studies (major) • Political Science—Prelaw Concen­ tration (major) • Prelaw (minor) Students should seek guidance from LSSU's Prelaw Advisor as early as possible to ensure they are individu­ ally counseled with regards to their respective interests, undergraduate curriculum choice, as well as personal and professional goals. Career Description: Attorney — Quite simply, attor­ neys practice law. What that means depends upon the legal (or non-legal) work environment that one ultimately chooses, along with the area(s) of law in which one practices. The opportuni­ ties are endless given the various work environments and the numerous areas of law in which one can specialize. For instance, lawyers practice within private law practices; public interest groups; governmental agencies (feder­ al, state, tribal or local); courts; business and industry (e.g., insurance compa­ nies, financial institutions, corpora­ tions, hospitals, public relation firms, political campaigns, labor unions, and trade associations); academics (as a law professor, law librarian or administra­ tor); or in various non-legal careers such as the media, law enforcement, business, public relations, foreign service, or politics. In addition, within many of these varied work environ­ ments, there are numerous areas of law in which one may specialize. 212 • Lake Superior State University • 1-888-800-LSSU �Pre-Pharmacy (transfer program) Program Description: Career Descriptions: Most pharmacy schools require stu­ dents to take two years of pre-phar­ macy preparation prior to being admitted to their four-year profes­ sional program. Admission into the professional pharmacy programs is very competitive and is based, to a large extent, on grades in specific required courses. Many pharmacy colleges also require applicants to take the Pharmacy College Admis­ sion Test (P.C.A.T.). This exam is generally taken mid-way through your second pre-pharmacy year. Community Pharmacist — Practic­ es in local pharmacies, professional health centers, hospitals, nursing homes or neighborhood health centers. Pre-pharmacy requirements vary greatly between different colleges that offer professional programs in pharmacy. In general, most require a pre-pharmacy program that em­ phasizes math and science as well as strong communication skills. Recently, a majority of the nation's schools began to move toward awarding the doctor of pharmacy (Pharm.D.) as the only professional degree in pharmacy. Because many pharmacy curricula are currently being modified, pre-pharmacy requirements are also subject to change. The modifications in professional pharmacy curricula, combined with the variability in pre-pharmacy requirements, make it impera­ tive for a pre-pharmacy student to determine the requirements for admission at the schools he or she desires to attend. A pre-pharmacy curriculum at Lake Superior State University can then be designed to help you obtain your goals. It is your responsibility to contact the directors of admissions at the pharmacy schools to which you are planning to apply so you can re­ main informed of their most recent requirements for admission. Government Supervisory Posts — USPHS, USDA, DVA employ pharmacists for technical writ­ ing, science reporting, directing manufacturing firms or overseeing cultivation of medicinal plants.

The Spanish B.A. program at LSSU is designed to give students the opportunity to acquire Spanish language proficiency in listening, speaking, reading and writing. The program will introduce Spanish majors to prominent histori­ cal, social and artistic developments of Spanish speaking countries. Preparation for Graduate School — Students who earn a B.A. in Span­ ish at LSSU may apply for graduate school to pursue advanced stud­ ies in Spanish as either a major or minor. Students successfully completing their Spanish major studies will improve their skills in critical reading, analytic writing, communication and linguistic awareness. In addition, they will devel­ op understanding of, and appreciation for, diversity and cultural difference through immersion into the history, culture, and art of Spanish speaking countries. International Business, Diplo­ macy and Law — In an increasingly global society, the ability to speak both English and Spanish provides students with marketable skills to function well in the world of inter­ national trade. Developing Spanish skills beyond the level of minimal language requirement classes greatly increases career opportu­ nities for individuals in the areas of business, law, technology, and international relations. The global expansion of American companies creates a demand for those who are able to function and communicate effectively in international settings. The program will prepare students for the communicative and culturally aware use of the Spanish language in careers related to international rela­ tions, business, communication and cultural exchange. Students with a degree in Spanish will gain market­ able linguistic skills to work in areas of public service with bilingual or Span­ ish speaking populations in the United States. Communication — The process of learning a foreign language and understanding its embeddedness in a rich cultural and social context of diverse human efforts provides Spanish majors with a complex and comprehensive educational experi­ ence. Graduates will find an array of business related job opportunities in publishing, editing, the media, the arts, and communication. Career Descriptions: Spanish Teaching and ESL—Af­ ter successful completion of state requirements and certification, students with a B.A. in Spanish are eligible to teach Spanish in elemen­ tary as well as secondary education. In addition, students may choose from job opportunities in the wid­ ening field of English as a Second Language (ESL), teaching English to students in both the United States and in Spanish speaking countries.

Consequently, there is a large demand for bilingual pro­ fessionals in tourism and travel. Domestic Careers in Public Services — As the latest USA census data show, the number of Spanish speak­ ers is on the rise. As a result, there is a need for college-educated people able to effectively communicate with bilingual or Spanish-speaking population in various areas of public service.

The require­ ments for these programs are based upon the guidelines of the National Association of Legal Assistants.

Prerequisite: EN111. PL250 Philosophy of Religion (3,0) 3 This course examines the rational foundations for believing in a worshiping a Diety.

(We will, however, exposit the deities Hinduism and Buddhism to put our study in context.) Can we prove that God exists? What might we owe God? How can we explain the existence of evil even though God is thought to be wholly good? What place does religion have in a pluralistic society? The history of Western Philosophy is in large part unified by the common pursuit of such questions. Not only are the questions themselves fascinating and perplexing, but also, they have been answered in inventive ways by many extraordinary thinkers, the Philosophy of Religion is, therefore, a continuing search that has a much to do with human ingenuity as it does about God.

Lake Superior State University • 5 �A Look at LSSU Established in 1946 to address the needs of returning World War II veterans and to provide educa­ tional opportunities to the people of the Eastern Upper Peninsula, Lake Superior State University still embodies the essence of the early days. A personal education in a safe and friendly environment remains a hallmark of today's LSSU. from the original class of 272 to more than 3,400 students. Our beautiful 115-acre campus overlooks the Michigan and Ontario twin cities of Sault Ste. Marie, the St. Mary's River, and the world famous Soo Locks. The school is located at the beginning of Interstate 75 which ends in the Florida Keys. There are 14 buildings on the Na­ tional Historic Register contributing to the University's sense of tradi­ tion. This unique architectural blend is a reminder of the "weapons to plowshares" history of the setting. 3 Community: Sault Ste. Marie (pop. 18,000) is one of the oldest cities in North America, having begun as a fur trading center in the early 17th century. A Jesuit mission was estab­ lished here in 1641, and Father Mar­ quette founded the first permanent settlement 27 years later, within the boundaries of what was to become Michigan. The Sault celebrated its 300th birthday in 1968. The Sault Branch was rechristened Lake Superior State College of Michigan Technical University in 1966. Autonomy arrived for LSSC in 1970. University status was granted in 1987 to the state's smallest public institution of higher learning. Enrollment has grown «*» The campus served as Ft. Brady starting in 1894 after the fort was relocated from the banks of the St. Mary's. The fort was deactivated in 1944 and, thanks to the efforts of local volunteers and leadership at Michigan College of Mining & Technology in Houghton, opened in the fall of that year as the Sault Ste. Marie Residence Center of MCMT. Our sister city, Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, is a cultural, recreational, social and entertainment center. The combined population of the Twin Saults (98,000) allows for an international flavor abounding with the opportunities of a city, and the safety and comfort of a small town. Expectations for Student Learning Lake Superior State University utilizes a Student Academic Achievement Plan developed by the faculty to enhance continuous quality improvement and to meet the Assessment Initiative of the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. The intent of this plan is to document student learning at Lake Superior State University both in the major program and across the general education requirements. This continuous evaluation process works to assure high quality teaching and effective student learning. The faculty at Lake Superior State University have collectively agreed upon the characteristics of the educated person the institution hopes to graduate and have identified outcomes that can be used to document these attributes. The following are areas that the faculty have deemed essential to a liberal education and have value for the students in their lives as responsible citizens: communication skills, mathematics, cultural diversity, humanities, and social and natural science. Students who complete the general education courses at Lake Superior State University will be able to 6 • Lake Superior State University demonstrate attributes of the general education outcomes. Students attending Lake Superior State University can expect commitment by the University to document and enhance student learning. Through the assessment process, the University demonstrates its commitment to improving student learning and ensures that when students graduate they have attained specific attributes and abilities. Lake Superior State University expects a commitment on the part of its students to actively participate in the learning process. �Accreditations Lake Superior State University is accredited by the following agencies: • • • The Higher Learning Commission (a commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools), 30 North LaSalle Street, Suite 2400, Chicago, Illinois 606022504.

A minimum of 124 credits is required for all baccalaureate degrees; a minimum of 62 credits is required for all associate degrees. Lake Superior State University operates on a semester system. There are two regular 15-week semesters (fall and spring) which begin in August or September and end in April or May. The sum­ mer semester consists of classes offered in two six-week sessions, or one 12-week session. Starting and ending dates are listed in the Academic Calendar in the back of this catalog. Academic Credit One credit is equal to 14 hours of classroom instruction in lecture/ recitation courses. For example, a three-credit course might be sched- You should expect to spend two hours of study or class preparation for each hour spent in class. Student Curriculum Choice and Advising When you apply for admission, you are asked to declare a major. The major you declare will deter­ mine which major department you are in and the academic advisor assigned to you. Please get to know your advisor well and meet with him/her often to get help in class selection, degree progress and ca­ reer advice. You may change your major curriculum by processing a Curriculum Change Form through the Registrar's Office. The Regis­ trar's Office, Counseling Center and departmental offices have the form and instructions. Curriculum change forms must be filed with the Registrar's Office for each cur­ riculum change. If you are unsure of your major, you will be assigned to the Liberal Arts major and the academic advi­ sor assigned to you will be a staff member of the Learning Center, Career Services or Counseling Center. Semester Course Selection Registration for the next semester takes place near the end of your current semester. 12 • Lake Superior State University �Three weeks before registration, course schedules listing times, dates and locations will be available online at: http://www.lssu.edu/ scheduling, and in Anchor Access. Review the class offerings, read the instructions for scheduling, and meet with your advisor to select courses for the next semester. You must sign up for classes for the semester in which you will be doing the actual work. Please review all the registartion information carefully as it has dates for registration according to class level, dates for tuition payments, and information regarding pre­ requisites, corequisites and other course requirements. It is your responsibility to ensure that the classes you take count toward your degree program. You may, however, be required to take developmental courses (course numbers beginning with "0", such as MATH081), which will not count toward graduation. Test Scores: When you apply for admission, you will send your ACT score to Lake Superior State Univer­ sity. Your score determines the level of English and math courses into which you will be placed. If you have been out of high school more than 26 months and have not taken the ACT, you will take placement tests at the Testing Center at Lake Superior State to determine your placement in English and math. Maximum credit load: You may carry up to 20 credits per semester. You may take more credits if you have a 3.00 GPA or higher and have written approval from the appro­ priate dean. Students on academic probation should not take more than 15 credits. Prerequisites: Many courses require that you complete English and math, or other preliminary classes before signing up to take these courses. If you have not met the prerequisite, you will not be al­ lowed to register for the class. If you registered for a course, and later are found not to have the necessary pre­ requisite, the instructor may drop you from the class with an N grade. Some courses require that you earn a C or better in prerequisite courses before registering for the next course. Exceptions may be made only by the dean of your college or the instructor of the subsequent class. Repeats: You may repeat a class in which you earn a grade other than "W" or "N" only tzvice without special permission and only under thefollozuing conditions: 1. Courses transferred from other institutions are included in this policy. 2. Both the original and repeat grades will show on the tran­ script, but hours earned toward graduation will only count once. 3. For the purpose of calculating the cumulative grade point average, only the grade of the last attempt will be used, if the last class was taken at LSSU. If you transfer in a class to repeat a class from LSSU, the LSSU grade will be removed from your grade point average. 4. To repeat a course more than twice, you must obtain the per­ mission of the course instructor and the appropriate dean. Per­ mission is granted only under exceptional circumstances. This policy began fall 2001 for all new students either as transfer or new freshmen. Policy on substitutions or waivers for failed classes: If you fail a class required for your degree program, you must repeat the class and receive a passing grade. If the failed class is no longer offered because of program changes and/or course deletions, the dean may approve a substitution or waiver recom­ mended by the academic chair. The chair must provide reasons for the recommendation on the substitu­ tion/ waiver form which is sent to the dean's office.

Non-attendance of the first class: Your instructor may drop you from a course if you do not attend or if you do not call the instructor before classes begin. The course instructor will fill out a Drop Form and notify you if you are dropped from the course. Adding/Dropping courses through the sixth day of the semester: You may add or drop courses online us­ ing Anchor Access through the sixth day of the fall or spring semester. If you are attending a summer se­ mester, you can add or drop courses online through the fourth day of the semester. If you wish to add a course that is full or without having the neces­ sary prerequisites, you must contact the instructor for that course to request permission. If the instructor approves the request, he/she will complete an Instructor Override for you. You must then go online and register for that course. Courses dropped through the sixth day (fourth for summer semester) will not appear on your academic transcript. Adding courses after the sixth day of the semester: Online registration ends on the sixth day of the semes­ ter (fourth for summer semester). If you wish to add a course after this date, you must have the instructor's permission. You will need to com­ plete a Schedule Adjustment Form, have the instructor sign it giving permission, and then process the form at the Student Service Counter in the Fletcher Center for Student Services. Dropping courses after the sixth day of the semester: You may drop a full-semester course dur­ ing the first eight weeks (40 days) of the semester. For courses run­ ning less than a full semester (e.g. seven-week class), check online for the official drop dates — the time period for dropping will be ap­ proximately equal to one-half of the course instructional period. If you drop a course, you will receive an N grade on your academic transcript. N grades are not counted in the academic GPA. If you wish to drop a course as of the seventh day of the fall or spring semester (fifth for summer), you must have the instructor's signa­ ture. Please complete a Schedule Adjustment Form, have the instruc­ tor sign it, then process the form at the Student Service Counter in the Fletcher Center for Student Services. To drop a class after the eight-week drop requires extenuating circum­ stances, and you must obtain a Withdrawal form. You must: 1. Complete the form (including listing a reason for the drop). 2. Get the instructor's signature and the instructor's recommen­ dation. 3. Take the completed form to the appropriate dean (of the class being dropped), for his/her review and decision. 4. If the dean approves the drop, you must then take the from to the registrar's office for pro­ cessing. A W grade will appear on your permanent record and will not af­ fect your GPA. Class attendance: Regular class attendance and active participation in classes are important elements in the learning process. You are at the University primarily for the sake of intellectual growth and develop­ ment. Attendance and participation provide appropriate opportunities for the evaluation of your progress. You are personally responsible for the satisfactory completion of the course work prescribed by your instructors. This means that you are expected to attend classes regularly, and that you are responsible for the work assigned in class, the material covered in class, and for participa­ tion in class activities (including discussion and listening) designed by the instructor as part of the 14 • Lake Superior State University learning experience. However, mere physical attendance should not be a criterion for evaluation of your performance. Participation in an official Univer­ sity function is an excused absence when approved by the provost You will not be penalized for such participation. You are responsible for work missed and must confer with your instructor on this matter. Complete withdrawal: If you are a full-time student and drop all of your classes during the first eight weeks of the semester, you may be eligible for tuition refund. To receive any refund, fill out a With­ drawal Form at the Student Service Counter. This office will authorize your refund from the Business Office. (Please check online for the refund policy.) Before leaving, be sure you have cleared any holds on your records so you can return at a later date or have transcripts of your academic records sent. Grading System Grade Point Average (GPA): To calculate your GPA for a semes­ ter, divide the total quality points earned by the GPA hours. GPA hours include those earned or failed but not those classes taken for credit/no credit. Cumulative GPA is calculated by dividing total quality points earned by the number of GPA hours carried in all semesters. If you repeat a course, count only the credits carried and the points of the last grade earned. Just the grade of your last attempt is calculated in your GPA. A cumulative GPA of 2.00 for all credits is required for graduation. Further, a 2.00 cumulative grade point average for all credits in major, minor(s), and general education is required. Some programs require a higher GPA in the major curriculum. Incomplete grades (I): An incom­ plete grade can be issued in the case of extenuating circumstances �Academic Standing Table Full- and Part-Time Students Academic Probation and Dismissal Policy effective Summer 2005 Cumulative GPA Hours Carried at LSSU Minimum for Good Standing* On Probation Dismissal 1 -18.99 2.00 less than 2.00 two consecutive semesters on probation 19 - or more 2.00 less than 2.00 two consecutive semesters on probation or 1.60 or less gpa You will be dismissed for academic deficiencies if you are on probation for two consecutive semesters at Lake Superior State University.

You will be on academic probation if your cumulative grade point average falls below 2.000. Academic Probation limits you to 15 credits. You must contact your advisor to adjust your schedule before classes start for the next semester. If you are on probation for two consecutive semesters (summer semester included if you are enrolled in summer classes), you will be academically dismissed or, if your cumulative GPA Hours are 19 or more and your grade point average is 1.60 or less, you will be academically dismissed. Your classes for the next semester(s) will be deleted. After a first or second dismissal you may choose one of the following options: a. Allow two semesters (summer may be counted for one semester) to elapse before re-enrollment, or b. Petition the Scholastic Standards Committee for immediate readmission should extenuating circumstances exist. This action is initiated with the Assistant to the Provost for Academic Records. The Committee can either permit early readmission with specific conditions required of you or deny your request. Subsequent to the Committee's denial, you can further appeal to the Provost, whose decision is final. 4. If you continue after a dismissal, you will be dismissed again after any semester in which your cumulative grade point average falls below a 2.00. Lake Superior State University *15 The Assistant to the Provost for Academic Records may allow you to continue "on probation," with the record showing "on probation" instead of "academic dismissal" if your record has shown improvement during the semester and you have a 2.00 grade point average in courses carried for that semester. 5. If you are dismissed a third time, you will not be reinstated without the permission of the Provost. Three semesters must elapse from the time of dismissal before you may petition for readmission. Summer may be counted for one semester. 6. The Scholastic Standards Committee may dismiss you from the university for demonstrated academic dishonesty. �beyond the control of the student that prevent completion of course requirements. Examples of extenu­ ating circumstances may include health issues, death of a parent/ spouse/child, or military service. Appropriate documentation is required. An I grade can be issued in a course, that by design, cannot be completed in one semester. You must make up the work by the date specified by the instructor. If a date is not given, the student will have a maximum of two semesters (exclud­ ing summer semesters) to complete the requirements for removing the I grades. Two semesters after the issuance of the I grade, if the pro­ fessor has not completed a Grade Change Form or requested an extension, the Registrar's Office will change the I grade to an F grade. N and W grades: These grades are given to those classes that you have officially dropped (N) or withdrawn (W). Grade change: You may request your instructor to review and change a grade within two semes­ ters after completion. The instruc­ tor completes and sends a Grade Change Form to the Registrar's Office. Dean's List: Full-time students car­ rying at least 12 graded credits of college-level courses (100 level or above) in a semester with a grade point average of 3.500 or higher, and NOT having any incomplete (I) grades, will earn Dean's List hon­ ors, which acknowledge outstand­ ing academic achievement. If a grade is changed, prior to the conclusion of the following semes­ ter, because of "instructor error" or because the student has completed work for a course which received an I grade, the student will be consid­ ered for Dean's List honors. If the grade change is for some other reason or occurs after the con­ clusion of the following semester, the student will not be reevaluated for Dean's List honors. Effective fall semester 2006, stu- dents earning Dean's List honors will have this designation noted on their LSSU academic transcript. Credit/No Credit Courses You may enroll in some courses on a credit/no credit basis if you are in good academic standing. The fol­ lowing conditions exist: 1. One course per semester may be taken as credit/no credit. 2. Only 12 credits of courses taken as credit/no credit may be ap­ plied toward a degree. 3. Courses that are required by your major, minor, or that are general education courses, can not be taken for credit/no credit. 4. You apply at the Registrar's Office to enroll for a credit/no credit course during the drop/ add period; cannot change to regular grades after the drop/ add period ends. 5. Instructors are not notified that you are taking a course as credit/no credit; the CR or NC credit is assigned based on the grade your instructor submits. A student who cheats is subject to dismissal from the University. If, in the opinion of the faculty member involved, such action is warranted, he or she will notify the chair of the Scholastic Standards Commit­ tee and the student in writing. The Scholastic Standards Committee will then conduct a hearing in such a manner that the student is given due process. If the committee decides that dismissal is warranted, the student shall have five school days to appeal that decision to the provost of the University. Credit by Examination There are three examination pro­ cesses you can take to earn credit for individual courses or general educa­ tion requirements. They include: 1. Advanced placement 2. CLEP examinations — Inquire at the Student Services Counter, Counseling Center or with the assistant to the provost for aca­ demic records for information on the CLEP examinations. 3. Departmental examinations — Inquire with the academic department whether an examination is available. You maintain a 2.00 C aver­ age in a course to receive a CR grade. 6. failing grade for the entire course. Certain courses are always offered with a credit/no credit format. These courses have this information in the official course description and course syllabi. The policy and limitations outlined above do not apply to these courses. Cheating and Plagiarism: The assumption of the academic contract is that the student does his or her own work: any breach of the contract is considered cheating. The faculty member who detects a student cheating may take appro­ priate action, such as assigning a 16 • Lake Superior State University You must be admitted to a degree program and in attendance at Lake Superior State University to receive credit by examination. An examina­ tion grade of 2.00 is required to earn credit. There is a fee required for both CLEP examination and depart­ mental examinations. The credits earned by examination appear as transfer credits on your transcript. Some universities may not accept this type of credit for transfer. Auditing a Class Audits are designed for someone who wishes to take a particular course for its content but not be graded for the course. An LSSU student may register for any �course on an audit basis provided all prerequisites have been satis­ fied. The coursework for auditing a course is determined in conjunc­ tion with the faculty member for the course. Auditing courses does not count as part of a student's official class load for determining financial aid eligibility, veteran's benefits or any other enrollment certification requirements. Students may change from an au­ dit to credit status during the first week of classes and only with the concurrence of the faculty member for the course.

Policy The University is an equal oppor­ tunity employer and educator and prohibits discrimination, including harassment, on the basis of race, color, national origin or ancestry, gender, age, disability, religion, height, weight, sexual preference, marital status, or veteran status. In carrying out this policy, the University complies with all federal and state laws and regulations pro­ hibiting discrimination including: Executive Order 11246, the ElliottLarsen Civil Rights Act of 1976, Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, The Equal Pay Act of 1963, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended by the Equal Em­ ployment Opportunity Act of 1972, and the Pregnancy Discrimination Act of 1978, Title IX of the Educa­ tion Amendments of 1972, Titles VII and VIII of the Public Health Ser­ vice Act, Age Discrimination in Em­ ployment Act of 1967, Sections 503 and 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, Veteran's Assistance Act of 1972, and Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. Sexual Harassment The University is committed to a policy of nondiscrimination on the basis of gender. Discrimination because of gender includes sexual harassment, which means unwel­ come sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct or communication of a sexual nature when: i. Submission to such conduct or communication is made a term or condition either explicitly or implicitly to obtain employ­ ment, public accommodations or public services, education, or housing; Submission to or rejection of such conduct or communica­ tion by an individual is used as a factor in decisions affecting such individual's employment, public accommodations or public services, education, or housing; or iii. Such conduct or communica­ tion has the purpose or effect of substantially interfering with an individual's employment, public accommodations or public services, education, or housing environment. The University is committed to the protection of the rights of all indi­ viduals and to the elimination of barriers that would prevent indi­ viduals from realizing their high­ est potential of human excellence. Sexual harassment is a particularly noxious form of discrimination that interferes with these goals and com­ mitments, and is difficult to combat due to the intimidation and destruc­ tion of self esteem of its victims. instances of discrimination and discriminatory harassment Once the University has been informed of such behavior, it will take timely and appropri­ ate steps to investigate the problem. At any step of the grievance process, time sched­ ules as outlined in the process may be extended by mutual agreement in writing. 2.

Nonretaliation: The University not only prohibits discrimina­ tion, including harassment, but also strictly prohibits any retaliation against any indi­ vidual, who, in good faith, has registered a complaint under this procedure. Any supervi­ sor, agent, or employee of the University who, after investi­ gation, has been determined to have retaliated against any individual for using the com­ plaint procedure in this policy, will be subject to appropriate discipline up to and includ­ ing immediate discharge. If an individual believes he or she has been retaliated against for exercising his or her rights under this policy, the individ­ ual should use this complaint procedure. 4.

Ontario Students Ontario student applicants must satisfy entrance requirements com­ parable to those of United States students. Please refer to the "Fresh­ men" and "Transfer" sections of the catalog for details. If you have completed grade 13 or OAC courses before September 1990, you will receive transfer credit at the University for each course in which your final mark was at least a 60 percent. Transfer credit is not given for any OAC courses taken after September 1990. However, completion of OAC courses pre­ pares some students to earn credit through testing. See section titled "Credit by Examination". Admitted Ontario students must provide verification of ability to pay in order to receive a Certificate of Eligibility for Non-Immigrant (F-l) Student Status (Form 1-20) required to attend a university in the United States. This is not an admissions requirement for Ontario students; however, an 1-20 form is required for you to cross into the U.S. to at­ tend classes. Please refer to "Verifi­ cation of Ability to Pay" section in the catalog for details. If you are a Permanent Resident or able to be in the U.S. with another form of documentation, we will need a copy of this documentation for our records. If you are a Canadian Aboriginal or Native American (excluding MELake Superior State University • 27 TIS) with at least 50% blood quan­ tum and have J-treaty privileges (carry a tribal ID), you are exempt from needing an 1-20 form. You must provide our office with a copy of your tribal ID and an official tribal-issued letter showing proof of blood quantum. Ontario students planning to attend part-time (less than 12 credits) and commute to college, will be issued a new 1-20 form each semester upon the verification of the payment of tuition and fees, or after submission of financial information as outlined above. Ontario students are required to purchase a health and accident insurance policy unless they are covered under a policy of their own or a policy with their parents. Foreign Students (Excluding Ontario Students) Foreign student applicants must satisfy entrance requirements com­ parable to those of United States students. Please refer to the "Fresh­ men" and "Transfer" section of the catalog. In addition, all foreign student credentials must be evalu­ ated by the World Education Ser­ vices (WES). Information on WES is available on-line at www.WES. org, by phone at 212-966-6311 or by e-mail at info@wes.org. Foreign ap­ plicants must also provide verifica­ tion of ability to pay, prove English proficiency, and provide proof of health and accident insurance prior to acceptance. Applicants should not consider themselves admitted to LSSU until they have provided all required documents and have received an official letter of acceptance. Follow­ ing the letter of acceptance, the 1-20 form is sent, as required by the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Services. If you are a Permanent Resident or able to be in the U.S. with another form of documentation, we will �need a copy of this documentation for our records. If you are a Canadian Aboriginal or Native American (excluding METIS) with at least 50% blood quantum and have J-treaty privi­ leges (carry a tribal ID), you are exempt from needing an 1-20 form. You must provide our office with a copy of your tribal ID and an official tribal-issued letter showing proof of blood quantum. Foreign students are required to purchase a health and accident insurance policy for each year in residence. Verification of Ability to Pay — Ontario and Foreign Students The U.S. Immigration and Natu­ ralization Services (INS) requires that LSSU have verification of your ability to pay for tuition/books and expenses before we can issue a Certificate of Eligibility for NonImmigrant (F-l) Student Status (1-20). This form is required for you to cross the border into the United States. An acceptable financial document must have been submitted not more than nine (9) months before the term you intend to enroll at LSSU. The document also needs to be current within the last 90 days. Inclusion of false information in the financial statements is grounds for dismissal. Verification may be documented by the following: personal savings or verification of loans or scholarships received, a parent or sponsor, government or sponsoring agency, or by LSSU anticipated support. As of September 1,2004, the U.S. Department of Flomeland Security (DHS) has implemented a rule re­ quiring F-l visa applicants to pay a one-time fee to supplement the ad­ ministration and maintenance costs of the Student and Exchange Infor­ mation System (SEVIS). Because we will be issuing you an initial 1-20 form, you will be required to pay this SEVIS fee. Information about payment of the fee and the process­ ing of your 1-20 form upon entry to the U.S. will be provided to you with your initial 1-20 form. Because the DHS is reviewing requirements at the time this catalog was pub­ lished, please contact the Admis­ sions Office for updates as policies are revised.

United States students attending part-time who are not seeking financial aid or a degree or certificate do not have to formally apply for admission. Canadian students wishing to attend part-time must apply for admission and be accepted into a degree program. As a non-admitted part-time stu­ dent, you are not assigned a faculty advisor. You are encouraged to seek assistance in selecting courses from the appropriate academic depart­ ments. Current high school students should refer to the section regard­ ing dual enrollment. Tech Prep The national tech prep movement is supported at LSSU. As a testimony of its institutional support, grades earned in applied high school science and mathematics courses contribute to the high school GPA computed for university admission. Tech prep, with its emphasis upon curricular integration between secondary and post-secondary educational institutions, helps Lake State create a broader array of edu­ cational options for our students. Lake Superior State University has articulation agreements with area high schools to enhance applied and career educational opportuni­ ties at the post-secondary level. In tandem with its regional secondary education partners, LSSU has cre­ ated pathways to applied education for specified curricula in busi­ ness and technology. University course credits count toward degree requirements for high school work if certain competencies are met. Check with your high school guid­ ance counselor or an LSSU admis­ sions advisor to verify whether a specific course may apply. �Dual Enrollment for High School Students Eligible students are those who are in grade 11 or 12 who are enrolled in at least one high school course, and who have passed these four subject areas of the MME: mathematics, science, reading and writing. The student who did not pass in all areas is still eligible to take courses only in the areas in which he/she has received endorsements. Both 11th and 12th graders are eli­ gible to take courses in subjects for which there are no endorsements, such as philosophy, religion, psy­ chology, sociology, anthropology, computer science, fine arts, and/or foreign language courses not offered by the district, as long as the student has taken all sections of the MEE and has met the course's prerequi­ site requirements. State endorse­ ment is not required in any specific area for this participation. Grade point average is not a determining factor in eligibility to enroll. Registration will be coordinated by the Admissions Office in conjunc­ tion with the Registrar's Office, once a student has completed the re­ quired form and has been approved as a Dual Enrollee. Students may pick up the Dual Enrollment Form from their high school guidance of­ fice, or the LSSU Admissions Office.

Lake Superior State University • 35 �Financial Aid Students are automatically considered for Board of Trustees Scholarships upon completing application to LSSU by March 1st for the following fall semester. Rewarding the scholar and meet­ ing the needs of those who apply for financial assistance is a high priority at Lake Superior State University. The doors of opportu­ nity are seldom closed because of a financial condition. You may qualify for a combina­ tion of University, state and federal programs—a financial aid packwhich may include a combi­ ag nation of scholarship, grant, loan, and/or work assistance. Full-time undergraduates take priority in aid awards. Carefully consider the full cost of your education, parental support, and savings — including sum­ mer employment — to determine your need for financial aid. If you possess excellent high school or community college grades, you are encouraged to apply for scholar­ ships regardless of need. Those with need are considered for grants, loans and/or employment based on need established from the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). You can obtain information on all financial aid programs from the Financial Aid staff. Staff are available to advise you and your parents about the costs of attend­ ing the University, availability of financial aid and application procedures. Applying: You can apply for financial aid by filing a Free Ap­ plication for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) on-line at www.fafsa. ed.gov. Once your FAFSA is received by LSSU and your admission is com­ plete, you will receive an "Official Offer of Award" letter from the Financial Aid Office. Scholarship recipients are usu­ ally selected based on competitive 36 • Lake Superior State University examinations, scholastic records and/or financial need. The Ameri­ can College Test (ACT) serves as the University's primary test for scholarship applicants. Test results must be on file by March 1. All freshmen who are Michigan residents are encouraged to com­ plete the Michigan State Assess­ ment Test to determine eligibility for additional state aid. Scholarship requirements: Incom­ ing freshmen must have a mini­ mum GPA of 3.0 and ACT of 19 to qualify for an LSSU scholarship. The recipient of any award must be a full-time student carrying 12 academic hours or more each semester. Satisfactory Academic Progress Requirements for the Retention of Financial Aid If you are receiving any form offinan­ cial aid, you must meet these satisfac­ tory academic progress requirements to retain your aid each semester. Financial aid regulations require that a student must make satisfac­ tory progress to remain eligible for financial aid. Financial aid pro­ grams affected by this policy are Federal Pell Grant, Federal Perkins Loan, Federal Work-Study, Federal Supplemental Educational Oppor­ tunity Grant, Federal Direct Loans, Federal PLUS Loans, State of Michigan and Institutional Schol­ arships, Grants, Loan and Work Programs. The following policy is the mini­ mum requirement for all types of financial aid; however, there are some types of aid with more strin­ gent requirements (see scholarship requirements). �Qualitative Standards Every student must maintain a minumim grade point average (GPA) of 2.0 each semester to remain in good academic standing. Students not meeting the standard will be placed on academic proba­ tion for one semester. Students may be granted a second probation­ ary semester, however, students with 19 credits or more will not be granted a second probationary semester if their cumulative GPA is 1.60 or less. This standard is enforced by the University's Scholastic Standards Committee each semester. Students who do not meet the academic standard will not be eligible for aid after their probationary period. To petition the Scholastic Standards Committee for readmission, stu­ dents must follow the guidelines listed at ivzuzv.lssu.edu/advising/ handbook/AAH_6-7-0.php. Students who are notified by the Scholastic Standards Committee about their academic standing should not assume that finanical aid will automatically be reinstated if their petition is granted. Finan­ cial aid requirements are more stringent in some cases and include quantitative standards. Quantita­ tive standard appeals must be sent separately to the Financial Aid Committee. Quantitative Standards Each student's progress in credits earned will be reviewed every seUndergraduate Students Fall/Spring/S ummer Semester Enrolled Credits 12+ 11 10 9 8 7 6 5-1 Credits to be Earned 9 8 7 6 6 5 4 100% mester. The following credits must be earned in relation to the number of credits enrolled at the end of the add period: If a student does not satisfactorily meet the quantitative standard, he/she will be placed on financial aid probation for the next semester. Students may receive aid while on probation but if a student fails to meet the standard for the second consecutive semester enrolled, his/ her financial aid will be suspended. Part-time students enrolled for less than six credits must earn all credits attempted. Once financial aid is suspended, both the GPA and credit hour completion criteria must be met in subsequent semesters of six credits or more before reinstatement of aid is possible. If completion of "I" grades or other record changes warrant a reinstate­ ment, a written notice from the Registrar's Office must be pre­ sented to the Financial Aid Office by the student before eligibility is reviewed. Financial Aid Suspension: No aid will be granted once a student's eligi­ bility is suspended, including but not limited to the Federal Direct Stafford Loan, Federal Perkins Loan, Federal Direct PLUS Loan, Federal WorkStudy, Federal Supplemental Edu­ cational Opportunity Grant, Federal Pell Grant, Michigan Competitive Scholarship, Michigan Adult PartTime Grant, Michigan Educational Opportunity Grant, Michigan Work Graduate Students Fall/Spring Semester Enrolled Credits 10+ 9 8 7 6 5 4-1 Credits to be Earned 7 6 6 5 4 4 100% Study and Institutional Scholarships and Grants. Financial Aid Reinstatement: To remove financial aid suspen­ sion status for qualitative reasons, a student must have attained the minimum cumulative grade point average and credit-earned require­ ments (minimum six credit hours) at Lake Superior State University, while not receiving financial aid. In addition, students who successfully complete 26 credits at a community college after being suspended at LSSU will be allowed one proba­ tionary semester upon readmission. Successful students must advise the Financial Aid Office in writing that they have met the requirements for reinstatement of the qualitative standard. Right to Appeal: A student whose aid is suspended for quantitative reasons may request reinstatement through the Financial Aid Commit­ tee. To obtain reinstatement, the student must effectively demon­ strate that their poor performance was due to some unusual circum­ stance. The quantitative appeal process is outlined at www.lssu. edu/finaid/appeals.php. Appeals should be in writing and be received immediately following the semester of the suspension. Scholarships are awarded on aca­ demic excellence and may not be reinstated by appeal. 150% Completion Rule: To qualify for federal financial aid, students must complete a program within 150% of the time frame required for the program. For example, a student working on an associate (two-year) degree must complete the degree within six semesters of full-time study. Students may not "attempt" more than 150% of the credits required for the degree. The average baccaulaureate program requires 124 credits, so the maximum number of attempted credits is 186. Appeals to this general rule must include an advisor's signed copy Lake Superior State University • 37 �of your degree audit with your anticipated graduation date. 3. If you withdraw or leave LSSU for any reason, your scholar­ ship automatically terminates. If you plan to leave for a study abroad program, internship or health reasons, you may re­ quest to have your scholarship reinstated by appealing to the Financial Aid Committee. 4. To receive the room and board component of any scholarship, you must be in the on-campus room and board program for the semester. If you leave oncampus housing, the room and board award will be termi­ nated. If you return to campus housing (you must be on the room and board plan for the full semester), you can request reinstatement of the room and board component prior to the beginning of the semester you return. General Scholarship Renewal Requirements For students offered an LSSU renewable scholarship, the following criteria must be met when reviewed each spring: 1. You must earn a minimum of 24 credits each academic year while receiving a scholarship, unless otherwise noted in your award, and the minimum cumulative GPA as required by the award. (See requirement chart for details.) 2. You must maintain enrollment each semester (fall & spring) as a continuous full time student. Enrollment for summer semes­ ter is not included. Scholarship Renewal Requirements Scholarships that are renewable require full-time attendance each fall and spring semester.

Most scholarships offered to freshmen are renewable for up to four years. Students in the five year teaching program may be eligible to receive a re­ newable scholarship in the fifth year of the program. 6. Changing majors does not affect the Board of Trustee's Scholarships, but may affect de­ partmental awards that require enrollment in certain majors. 7. Scholarships are not reinstated on appeal, except for students who have left school for rea­ sons stated in #3. 8. The scholarship renewal policy is separate from the Universi­ ty's Academic Standards and Satisfactory Progress Standards for the retention of other forms of financial aid. 9. If you do not meet renewal requirements when your eli­ gibility is reviewed each May but raise your GPA or credits earned to the minimum re­ quirements prior to the start of the following fall semester, you must notify the Financial Aid Office in writing that your stu­ dent record has been updated with new information warrant­ ing a review. Requirements for New Scholarships for Current Students Renewable scholarships are based on your grade level and number of credits transferred or earned at the time of your award. For example, if you are offered a renewable scholarship as a sophomore, you will generally be eligible for two additional years of scholarship. If an ending date is not stated in your offer of scholarship, please contact the Financial Aid Office if you have questions about the renewal features of your award. Except for students in their fifth year of the teaching program, scholarships are generally not available to students with more them four years of higher education or eight semesters of study.

Housing A variety of housing facilities are available. If you are enrolled at LSSU for 12 credit hours or more, there are mandatory policies that apply. If you are unmarried and/or a nonveteran enrolled in 12 hours or more and are within 27 calendar months of your high school gradu­ ation, you must reside in a Univer­ sity residence hall. High school graduation dates are assumed to be June 1 for this pur­ pose. The exceptions are: 1. 2. If you live with your parents within a 60-mile radius or the three-county (Chippewa, Luce and Mackinac) service area of the University. An exception application is available in the Housing Office and must be ap­ proved by the Housing director. If you are exempted in writing by the Director of Housing and Residential Life when residence hall space is filled. If you have unusual financial or health problems. Permission must be granted by the Direc­ tor of Housing and Residential Life. "Financial hardship" is a situation in which the total resources of the student and family added to the total financial aid available from the University does not equal the dollar amount budgeted by the Fi­ nancial Aid Office as the minimum required for on-campus residency. In such a situation, there are two alternatives: a) withdrawal from the residence hall or b) withdrawal from the University. An example is a student whose financial situation changed suddenly during the year (perhaps due to the death of a par­ ent) and who applies for assistance after the aid program is depleted.

Health Service Health care services are available on campus at the LSSU Health CARE Center. The Health CARE Center offers a wide range of services to our students including treatment of illness, injury, annual physical examinations, immuniza­ tions, and allergy injections. The Health CARE Center is staffed by a certified nurse practitioner, physician assistant, and a consult­ ing physician. Our providers have �prescriptive authority to order a wide range of prescriptions. Services are available Monday-Friday from 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Hours of operation are reduced during the summer semester and University breaks. Appointments are appreci­ ated but walk-ins are accepted as time permits. For an appointment, call 906-635-2110 or on campus, ext. 2110. The Health CARE Center does bill and accepts most insurance plans for services rendered at the the Health CARE Center. We do ask that students present an insurance card at the time of service. (Please note that any service rendered offcampus is the sole responsibility of the student or parent.) Lake Superior State University has created a student plan for all stu­ dents who maintain three or more credit hours. This student health plan covers co-pays, deductibles, and non-covered services of an insurance company. Well physicals and immunizations are excluded from this plan, but are offered at a reduced rate to the student. The student health plan has been established so students do not have an out-of-pocket expense. To utilize the student health plan, services must be rendered at the Health CARE Center. Students who do not have health insurance should contact the Health CARE Center to discuss services available under the LSSU student health plan and/or plans that are available for purchase. An insurance plan is available for the uninsured student which may be purchased; this is separate from the on-campus student health plan. LSSU does not endorse this plan but simply makes it available to the student. Information regarding this plan is available at the Health CARE Center or by going on-line to: www.sas-mn.com. All students from countries other thatn the United States and Canada are required to carry health insur- ance as a condition of enrollment. These students must furnish proof they have purchased an equiva­ lent insurance plan that will cover their their health care while in the United States. Career Services Lake Superior State University of­ fers career planning and placement service for students and alumni. Our staff will assist you jn locating suitable and desirable employment as a student and as a graduate. We can also help you make career choices that suit your skills and interests. If you are seeking part- or full-time work during the academic year or summer, we also maintain a listing of positions available for students. Upward Bound Upward Bound is a federally funded TRIO program which LSSU has successfully hosted since 1965. This is a free college-preparatory program for low income students and/or students whose parents do not have college degrees. The pro­ gram provides academic support, career exploration and advising, and cultural growth experiences designed to enhance educational success. Upward Bound works with these students year-round throughout high school to pre­ pare them to enter and succeed in post-secondary education. The programs serves about 70 students each year from area high schools within an hour's drive from LSSU's campus. Upward Bound hires at least 25 college students each year as tutors and office workers during the aca­ demic year and for residential jobs during the summer. The program is one of the few sites offering paid summer internships for students in human services, psychology, sociol­ ogy, teacher education and criminal justice. 68 • Lake Superior State University Child Development Center The campus Child Development Center provides full- or part-time care for children 3 years of age on the first day of enrollment, com­ pletely toilet-trained. The maxi­ mum age is kindergarden-enrolled during fall and spring semesters. We accept children through early elementary during the summer session, and if needed, during school breaks during fall and spring semesters. The Center is open fall, spring and summer semesters, and follows the university calendar. Children of LSSU students and em­ ployees are given priority in admis­ sion; however, children from the community are admitted as space allows. Children must completely toilet-trained. The center, licensed by the State of Michigan, provides developmentally appropriate ex­ periences for the child and empha­ sizes social, emotional, creative, physical and cognitive growth. Each morning and afternoon, under the guidance of experienced staff, students enrolled in the early child­ hood education program plan and supervise large and small group ac­ tivities including art, language arts, gross motor, fine motor, and out­ door play. A significant portion of each day is devoted to exploratory play where children move through the various learning areas electing to participate in any one of a wide variety of activities interacting with developmentally appropri­ ate learning materials. The Child Development Center is located at the southeast end of campus. Student-Faculty Relations Committee (Appeals) Function. The Student-Faculty Relations Committee provides a fo­ rum for resolving conflicts between students and faculty members which may arise with classroojn or �course-related activities, policies or procedures. The committee will not consider cases involving ADA compliance or any other matter it deems inappropriate. This commit­ tee is strictly an informal mediation body which will forward recom­ mendations for resolution to the parties involved (with a copy to the Vice President for Academic Affairs and Provost). 3. Membership. The University president appoints the committee membership to turn-year terms. There are four faculty representa­ tives and four student representa­ tives. The chair is chosen by the committee membership. Procedures 1. 2. If a student (or group of students) wishes to raise an issue related to a course which he/she is taking or has taken (normally within one semester), the student should attempt to resolve the issue at the stu­ dent/faculty, department chair or appropriate dean level. If the matter cannot be resolved at the lowest possible levels, the student may appeal to the Student-Faculty Relations com­ mittee informing them of the problem. In exceptional cases, the student may approach the Student-Faculty Relations Committee directly. To bring an issue before the Student-Faculty Relations com­ mittee, the student must notify the Student-Faculty Relations Committee in writing. This document must clearly explain the situation and include the stu­ dent's name, current address, a message telephone number and times when the student is avail­ able to meet with the committee. Supporting documentation may be included as well. The writ­ ten appeal should be submitted directly to the committee chair. The Vice President for Academic Affairs and Provost's Office will know the name of the committee chair. Once the committee members have had an opportunity to review tine student's concern, they will conduct an informal fact-finding process. As a part of the process, the student will be invited to meet with the com­ mittee for further clarification. This meeting will be 20 minutes in length with 10 minutes of question and answer by the committee. The other party will also be invited to meet with the committee following the same format. Both parties will then be asked to meet together with the committee in an effort to foster communication, clarification and resolution. The most desirable arrangement would be for this step to occur at one setting. The committee will strive to be as ex­ peditious as possible. There may be extenuating circumstances such as semester break or sum­ mer recess. 4. If there is no resolution after this joint meeting of the parties in­ volved, or if the outcome of this process is not acceptable to the student or the faculty member, he/she may appeal to the Vice President for Academic Affairs and Provost of the University. 5. The committee will keep no permanent records. Counseling Services You are encouraged to take advan­ tage of our counseling services.

Marie, Michigan, and Sault College, in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, are just a 15-minute car ride apart. In spite of being located in different countries, our cities are closer to each other than they are to municipalities in their home state or province. So, community leaders encourage initiatives that strengthen the ties between us and take advantage of shared resourc­ es. The belief is we have more to offer by working together. Lake Superior State University and Sault College have enjoyed a good working relationship for many years. In 2001, some articu­ lations were revitalized, new ones were struck and it was decided to establish the International University College Division. The division allows full-time students in some program areas to be dualenrolled. In computer science/ studies, criminal justice, liberal studies/teacher education or occu­ pational/physical therapy assistant and athletic training or exercise science, agreements have been signed which encourage students to take advantage of the diverse faculty and resources available at both schools as they pursue their degrees and/or diplomas. Getting involved in the Interna­ tional Division is straightforward — consult with the academic department, fill in a Dual Enroll­ ment Form and submit it to the Registrar's Office. As a dual-en­ rolled student, you are permitted to take one course per semester at the other school. Through the extra advising available to you, you can fit these courses into your overall academic plan and semes­ ter timetables. You register for all courses through your home school registrar and your academic infor­ mation is transferred automatically at the conclusion of each semester. As long as you meet the required academic standards, you will con­ tinue to enjoy these advantages of attending both schools: • the combination of applied, "hands-on" training and theo­ retical understanding • more course choices • access to many of the stu­ dent services and academic resources (e.g. wider selec­ tion of equipment, libraries, student centers, peer tutoring, etc.) available at both institu­ tions • accessible professors through small classes, labs and office hours • interaction with fellow stu­ dents from another country — a good basis for a network of contacts that can assist you in your life's work ahead • greater employment options and advancement opportunities Dual-enrolled students pursuing the bachelor of science in comput­ er science or computer network­ ing gain these particular benefits: • professors with a wide variety of computer-based qualifica­ tions and areas of expertise • exposure to, and opportunity to work with, more types of hardware and software than would be available at either institution on its own • plenty of equipment available for hands-on experience Lake Superior State University *73 • more than 70% of the major courses with a lab component • opportunity to earn worldrecognized CISCO CCNA and Microsoft MCSE certifications • Innovative, relevant programs which adjust quickly to both changing technology and em­ ployers7 needs Note: As of January 2008, anyone - including American citizens - entering the United States will be required to have a current passport or NEXUS identification card. Therefore, all dual-enrolled students will need to carry their passports as they travel back and forth across the border to attend classes. For more specific information regarding computer-based degrees and participation in the International University College Division, please refer to page 120 of this catalog. Dual-enrolled students in the criminal justice degree programs benefit from the continuing educa­ tion opportunities developed by both schools for people currently working in public safety. LSSU does this through its academy, providing MCOLES (Michigan Commission on Law Enforce­ ment Standards) and Michigan Firefighter Training Council certification. Sault College offers advanced training and certifica­ tion for Ontario Provincial Police and municipal police officers at its Law Enforcement Training Centre. �Degree Requirements Lake Superior State University offers bachelor (also called bacca­ laureate) degrees, associate degrees and certificates, as well as a master of arts degree in curriculum and instruction.

The necessary forms are available at the student's major departmental office. The departmental Degree Audit for a student's major or minor specifies all required courses that have been or must be completed. The audit must be signed by the chair of the school or department offering the major or minor program. Course substitutions and waivers of departmental degree program requirements may be granted only by the chair and approved by the dean of the school offering the major or minor program. Course substitutions and waivers for education majors or minors must also have approval from the chair of the School of Education. Exceptions to specific general education requirements may be granted only by the Scholastic Standards Committee. Such exceptions are infrequently made. A petition for exceptions to general education requirements is initiated with the assistant to the provost for academic records. The assistant to the provost checks students' Degree Audits, after which a preliminary verification of the Degree Audit is sent to each student and respective school or department chair. Students are responsible for examining this verification and requesting clarification of anything that is not consistent with their records or understanding. From the Declaration of Candidacy for Degree forms submitted by students, a potential graduate list is created for each semester. Names for the commencement program and diploma will be the official, legal name as listed in the records of the University. The names of students who are listed iii the annual commencement program are also compiled from Declaration of Candidacy for Degree forms. Students may not be listed in the commencement program unless their Degree Candidacy Form is filed with the assistant to the provost six weeks prior to commencement. Students are expected to attend commencement exercises unless excused by the 78 • Lake Superior State University �assistant to the provost. Students completing degree requirements during the summer may participate in commencement the previous semester if their degree candidacy form is received six weeks prior to commencement. After grades are received at the end of each semester, Degree Audits will be updated for all students completing credit and who have a Degree Candidacy Form on file. When all requirements specified on the Degree Audit are fulfilled, the college dean and/or school chair and assistant to the provost give a final approval. Names of these graduates are then sent to the president for approval by the Board of Trustees. Subsequently, a diploma is provided to each student. Diploma charge: There is no charge for the first diploma from the University. A fee is charged for replacement diplomas. Students completing graduation requirements in the fall semester or summer, or who otherwise need documentation of completion before their diploma is available, may request a letter certifying that they have completed degree requirements. Additionally, official University transcripts will be sent to any employer, graduate university, or elsewhere, as requested by the graduate. Official transcripts will not be mailed to students. Graduation with honors: Honors graduates must earn at least 32 credits at Lake Superior State University. Students who earn 3.50 to 3.69 will graduate cum laude; 3.70 to 3.89, magna cum laude; 3.90 to 4.00, summa cum laude. Graduation diplomas with honors will be awarded to baccalaureate, associate, and certificate recipients. Honors medallions will be awarded to baccalaureate, associate and certificate recipients who graduate summa cum laude. Delinquent Accounts Students with delinquent accounts may be removed from class, have their diploma withheld, and/or have transcript requests denied. Honors Degree The University Honors Program offers highly motivated students the opportunity to develop their abilities and skills in exciting and innovative ways. The central goal of the University honors program is to create a community of scholars characterized by strong studentfaculty interaction around the world of ideas. The honors program fosters an approach to education that incorporates the qualities of active participation, intellectual curiosity and an interdisciplinary focus. Selection is based upon a number of factors, including: ACT scores, high school grade point average, application essay, personal interview and Lake State faculty nomination. Students invited to participate in the program enroll in courses designated for honors credit. The courses are distributed among the requirements for general education, the student's major, and the University honors program and may include small seminars or independent research projects. To graduate with an honors degree in a program of study, the honors student must have formal acceptance into the University honors program and have successfully completed 21 honors credit hours with an overall grade point average of 3.5* or better at graduation. The 21 honors credit hours are to be distributed among the University's requirements for general education, the student's major and the University honors program. Upon graduation from the honors program, the student will receive an honors degree in his/her program of study. The honors degree designation is indicated on the student's diploma and is distinct from graduating with honors (see Graduation with Honors).

A legal assistant (or parale­ gal) is a valued member of the legal team and works under the supervi­ sion of attorneys. Litigation Legal Assistant — Con­ ducts research; drafts legal plead­ ings and documents; interviews clients and witnesses; investigates, gathers and organizes case infor­ mation; assists at trial. Corporate Legal Assistant — Drafts and/or analyzes various legal documents; attends meetings, nego­ tiations or closings; performs legal and factual research; monitors com­ pliance with applicable industry regulations; assists attorneys with preparation for collective bargain­ ing, contract negotiations, adminis­ trative hearings or trials. Criminal Law Legal Assistant — Conducts comprehensive inter­ views of defendants, law enforce­ ment, victims, and/or witnesses; performs case and field investiga­ tions; locates and coordinates usage of applicable experts; prepares motions, briefs or other legal docu­ ments; acts as a litigation assistant during trial and any appeal. Governmental Legal Assistant — Works as an immigration specialist; civil rights analyst; environmental protection specialist; mediation specialist; legislative analyst; work­ ers compensation claims examiner, etc. (even the White House has employed legal assistants). Real Estate Legal Assistant — Conducts title searches; drafts real estate closing documents; monitors compliance with title, survey, dis­ closure and/or regulatory require­ ments; schedules and participates in real estate closings. This program is approved by the Amer­ ican Bar Association and is designed to train qualified legal assistants ca­ pable 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 studies. They are as follows: (1) a four-year baccalaure­ ate degree in legal studies with an emphasis in legal administration, criminal law, personal injury, labor law, legislative/constitutional law, environmental law and policy, legal technology or client advocacy or a selected minor as approved by the legal studies coordinator; (2) a two-year associate's degree in legal studies; (3) a post-baccalaureate (one-year) certificate in legal stud­ ies (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).

Upon success­ ful completion of the Athletic Train­ ing Education Program (ATEP) at LSSU students will be eligible to sit for their Board of Certification Exam through the National Athletic Trainer's Association. Colleges and Universities — ATCs in this setting may provide health care services to student-athletes, teach in an ATEP or a combination of these duties. The ATEP at LSSU is comprised of two phases, the pre-professional phase and the professional phase. The pre-professional phase consists of the students' first two years in which the student completes Uni­ versity core curriculum courses and pre-requisite coursework within the athletic training curriculum to en­ able the student to become eligible to apply for admission into the professional phase of the program. Students then make a formal ap­ plication to the ATEP. The number of clinical sites avail­ able to the LSSU ATEP limits the number of students that can be admitted to the program on an an­ nual basis. Students accepted into the professional phase of the ATEP will take advanced coursework and engage in supervised clinical ex­ periences at private and university medical practices as well as LSSU athletics. Senior ATEP students are assigned to a staff ATC as they work with one of the athletic teams, and conclude their training with a 15week internship selected in consul­ tation with their academic advisor. A detailed program description, competitive admission require­ ments and Technical Standards for Admission are provided in the Athletic Training Education Pro­ gram Student Manual and on the Recreation Studies/Exercise Science Web site. Professional Sports — In this set­ ting, ATCs provide athletic health care services for professional athletes involved with one sports organization.
