undergraduate bulletin - LaGrange College

A minimum of thirty (30) minutes is suggested for each meeting.
3. The student must conclude by writing a five- to ten-page typed paper reflecting on the
experience of the violation and what he or she may have learned in the process of the
meetings. These papers, rendered anonymous, will be made available for the Honor Council
to use at its discretion in its efforts to educate the student body regarding academic integrity.
4. When the paper has been submitted and read by the Honor Council, the final step in satisfying
the Remediation Program will be a meeting with the Honor Council. This is an opportunity
for members of the Council to ask questions of the student about the process and outcome.
A complete description of Honor Code policies, rules, and regulations can be found in the
Student Handbook, which is available online via PantherNet. Copies of the Handbook are also
available in the Office of Student Life.
REQUIREMENTS FOR BACHELOR DEGREES:
A SUMMARY
LaGrange College‘s undergraduate day program offers the Bachelor of Arts degree, the Bachelor
of Science degree, the Bachelor of Music degree, and the Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree.
To obtain a second bachelor's degree, at least 30 additional semester hours must be earned
beyond the first degree, in a minimum of two semesters. Baccalaureate degrees require a
minimum of 120 semester hours of credit, including required coursework in the Core
Curriculum, Interim terms, and the major.
To be eligible for the degree, a student must meet all requirements for the degree (Core
Curriculum, major program, all necessary assessments, 120 semester hours, and 2.0* cumulative
grade point average in all coursework taken at LaGrange College), and make application for the
degree before the beginning of his or her final term. A student who does not earn a degree in ten
full semesters or the equivalent may be denied further registration.
In order to graduate in four academic years, a student, at a minimum, should enroll for at least 30
semester hours each academic year. A student who takes at least 12 semester hours credit is
classified as full-time. The maximum full course load is 16 semester hours; anything beyond
is considered an overload. No student whose average is below 3.0 is permitted to enroll for more
than 16 hours in any one term without the written permission of the Provost.
The quality point average is computed by multiplying the grade point by the course value,
summing, and then dividing the total quality points earned by the total GPA hours. If a student
has received credit for a course and repeats that course, then he or she receives no additional
credit toward the degree. In computing the student's average, GPA hours and quality points are
counted on all attempts.
Unless otherwise specified in this Bulletin, grades of "C-" may be counted toward a major or
minor, but the major or minor GPA must remain at or above 2.0 (or the departmental minimum)
in order for a student to graduate with said major or minor. No grade below a ―C-‖ in any course
above the 1000 level may be applied toward a major or minor.
