5 General Education Requirements: Bachelor s Degrees Group 1. Christian Living An educated person committed to a life of stewardship and service should be acquainted with both cognitive and affective dimensions of Christianity. This component refl ects the missional commitment of the University to engagement with the Christian Faith, specifi cally in the context of the Church of the Nazarene. This four-course sequence is designed to integrate comprehensively the formative task of theological education for Christian living; that is, matters of spiritual formation, biblical understanding, theological understanding, life application and Christian ethics will be integrated across the progression in a level-appropriate development. The goal is to facilitate the most effective and conducive context for the development of young adults to emerge from this progression with a deeper love for Christ, the Bible, and the Church than when they began. The aim is to engage and equip our students to live vital Christian lives and serve as effective ministry leaders, infl uencing their world for the Kingdom. THEO Christian Formation... 3 * BLIT Christian Scriptures I... 3 ** BLIT Christian Scriptures II... 3 *** THEO Christian Faith... 3 Total Group 2. Communication An educated person committed to a life of stewardship and service should be able to think, write, and speak clearly and effectively. Writing, speaking, reading, and listening skills are basic to effective communication. Reading provides a range of viewpoints and in-depth information. Careful listening to authors and speakers prevents miscommunication. Writing and speaking are the primary channels of expression. The quality of communication is connected to thinking because writing and speaking patterns parallel individual thinking processes. Therefore, the educated person must have developed the analytical and synthetical skills of critical thinking. Teachers become role models and create settings where students have to refl ect on their own thought processes. This critical thinking is best taught if connected to specifi c writing and speaking formats.

Cultural Understanding An educated person committed to a life of stewardship and service should be exposed to various aspects of cultural understanding as well as an understanding of diverse cultures. It is no longer possible to conduct our lives without reference to the diverse world within which we live. A crucial difference between the educated and the uneducated person is the extent to which one s life experience is viewed in wider contexts. The curriculum may include options for exposure to various cultures in terms of language, geography, history, sociology, psychology, political science, economics, art, music, literature, and religion. Moreover, a non-western culture should be part of the cultural experience. Foreign language skills are important for those working in a global community. International students on campus, a variety of courses, and overseas experiences by faculty and some students all are a part of education for cultural understanding. The interrelatedness of living in a global community necessitates exposure to diverse cultures.

Natural Sciences and Mathematics An educated person committed to a life of stewardship and service should possess foundational knowledge in the physical and life sciences, understand the basic methodology of science, and be able to critically evaluate scientifi c issues. Students should possess a general competency in mathematics including the ability to recognize the legitimate interpretation and application of numerical and scientifi c data. The larger purpose is to help students improve their scientifi c literacy, defined as the capacity to follow new scientifi c and technological developments in intelligent lay terms.

Personal health encompasses those attitudes and practices that improve one s physical and mental well-being. Students should be guided in the acquisition of lifelong habits relating to good nutrition, physical exercise, and the management of stress. Furthermore, students should learn interpersonal skills that serve to promote the health of others, including family and community as well as the world at large.

7 General Expenses The following is an itemized estimate of the cost of a semester in the school year: 1. General Fee $ (Required for all students enrolled for seven hours or more. This covers student activities, facilities, student services, and student government.) 2. Tuition Charges for Hours $17, (For a student taking a full load of 18 hours, this is equivalent to a tuition charge of $ per hour. For more than 18 hours, the charge is $ per additional hour. For students taking a part-time load of less than 12 hours in a given semester, the tuition charge is $1, per hour.) Applied Music Tuition Additional Private (piano, voice, organ, and instruments for one 30 minute $ lesson per week per semester) Class (piano, voice, and instruments per course) $ Room and Board (14 meals per week) average cost $3, meals per week is $250 more per semester Apartment housing is $150 more per semester Total Tuition, Fees, Room and Board (semester) $21, Total Tuition, Fees, Room and Board for a School Year (two semesters) $43, Special Fees (Amounts charged for fees may be subject to change) Background Check $50.00 Credit Per Hour Resulting from Audit, Profi ciency and Petitioned Credit $50.00 ID Card Replacement Charge $20.00 International Student Insurance (per semester, Subject to Change) est. $ Key Replacement $30.00 Late Health Forms (required by Illinois State Law) $25.00 Late Registration (one day late) $20.00 Second Day and After, Per-Day Additional $5.00 Lockers, Per Semester $5.00 Returned Check Fee $20.00 Student Teaching Fee $ Tests and Examinations ACT and profi ciency per Test: $35.00 Tuition Deposit $

8 Registration All students eligible to register (students enrolled in the preceding regular session and new or re-entering students who have completed application and have been accepted) will be supplied by the Registrar with directions for registration. Students are advised by members of the faculty and must fi le properly approved study lists with the Registrar s Offi ce. Registrations not completed by the close of the listed registration days (see calendar) will require a fee of $20.00 to cover the additional expenses of late registration procedure. An additional late fee of $5.00 per day will be charged beginning the second day after registration day. A student will not be permitted to register for any course including directed study and special topics after the fi rst two weeks of the semester without the written approval of the Academic Dean. A faculty member may determine an earlier closing date for a particular course. No student will be permitted to register for any course if, in the judgment of the instructor in charge, he lacks suffi cient preparation to undertake the work. An instructor may, with the approval of the Academic Dean, drop from a class any student who shows marked delinquency in attendance, who neglects his work, or who proves incompetent to pursue the work of the course. The normal student load is sixteen hours of class work in a week. No student will be permitted to register for more than eighteen hours, inclusive of physical education, without the special permission of the Committee on Academic Standards. An extra charge is made for each hour or fraction of an hour taken in excess of the eighteen-hour maximum load. Change of Registration All changes in registration become offi cial when made through the registrar s offi ce, with approval by the student s advisor and the faculty members whose classes are involved. A course may be dropped without grade or notation on the transcript when offi cial changes are processed during the fi rst two calendar weeks of a semester. After that, a grade of W will be assigned when courses are dropped prior to the deadlines, which are published in the University calendar. Permission to drop individual courses after the published deadlines will normally be granted by the Vice President for Academic Affairs only because of extended illness, serious physical disability, death in the family or other emergency circumstances. Permission to withdraw from individual courses after the deadlines will not be granted merely because of unsatisfactory academic performance, whether caused by the student s inability, lack of application or preparation; dissatisfaction with the subject matter offered in the course(s); failure to attend class; or a change in the student s major or academic plans. A grade of WP - withdrawn passing or WF - withdrawn failing- will be assigned by the Vice President for Academic Affairs in cases where offi cial drops are approved after the published deadlines. Unoffi cial withdrawal from courses will be treated as failure and indicated on the permanent record by a grade of F. Appeals to the Academic Standards Committee may be initiated through the Registrar s Offi ce. Cancellation of Registration A student s registration for a semester may be cancelled for failure to meet fi nancial obligations to the University. Normally, cancellation would only occur during the fi rst two weeks of a semester, and record of enrollment would not appear on the student s permanent academic record. 8

9 Withdrawal from the University A student who desires to offi cially withdraw from all courses in a given semester must do so before the beginning of fi nal examinations. Once fi nal examinations have begun, a student may not withdraw from that semester unless documented emergency or medical reasons merit an exception being approved by the Vice President for Academic Affairs. To officially withdraw from all courses for which a student is registered, the student must begin the process by contacting the Center for Student Success. This withdrawal process is necessary in order to clear the appropriate fi nancial and academic records. Protracted absences or failure to attend classes does not constitute withdrawal from courses and will be treated as failure unless the withdrawal process is appropriately followed. See Chapter 5 on Financial Information for policies on refunds of tuition and fees when offi cial withdrawal from the University is processed. Administrative withdrawals may be initiated when a student fails to obey University policies, fails to comply with procedures, or has been suspended or expelled from the institution. The grading and refund policies which apply to voluntary withdrawals also apply to administrative withdrawals. Withdrawals and Course Drops If a student officially withdraws from school or drops below 12 credit hours, the following fi nancial adjustments will apply: 1. Refunds on tuition, general fees and certain other special fees as follows: Week one 100%, Week two 90%, Week three 75%, Week four 50%, Week fi ve 25%. No refund of tuition or fees after week fi ve of the semester. 2. Room & Board: Pro-rata adjustment/refund on the unused portion as of the end of the week in which the student moves from campus for the first 14 weeks of the semester. The effective date of any withdrawal or course drop will be the date such withdrawal or drop is offi cially requested. The official withdrawal date is the date established by the student with the Center for Student Success or the Director of Registration Services. The offi cial course drop date is the date the drop form is returned to the Registrar. Please refer also to Chapter 6 on Academic Regulations: Change of Registration, Withdrawal from School, and Class Attendance Requirements. Adjustments are computed as of the end of the week in which the student makes offi cial withdrawal. Protracted absence from class does not constitute a withdrawal, and will be treated as a failure. When a student withdraws (or is withdrawn) from school prior to the end of semester, a prorated amount of the student s Institutional scholarships and grants will be withdrawn from the student s account. Additionally, Title IV federal and state financial aid will be repaid to the appropriate program(s) as mandated by regulations published by the U.S. Secretary of Education. Policy on Repeating Courses: 1. In case a course is retaken subsequent to the student s receiving a course grade of F, only the last grade is counted in determining the cumulative grade point average. 2. With the consent of the Chairman of the department in which the course is offered, a student is permitted to retake once a course in which a grade of C-, D+, D, or D- was earned, with the higher of the two grades to count in determining the cumulative grade point average. These privileges apply only to courses repeated at Olivet. 9

10 Pass-Fail (S or U) is used for student teaching, field experiences and certain other courses. In these courses the alphabetical system of grading is never used. In addition, an individual student who has attained Junior Standing may also be permitted to enroll in one elective course per semester in the last four semesters on the basis of pass-fail grading. Specifi cally excluded from this provision are courses in the major fi eld, minor fi eld, required supporting courses, and courses offered to fulfi ll general education requirements. A passing grade means C quality or better. The intention to take a course on the basis of pass-fail grading must be indicated at the Offi ce of the Registrar on or before the fi nal day to drop a course. If this request is approved, a student may change back to the alphabetical system of grading only by fi ling a written request to do so at the Office of the Registrar prior to the final day to drop a course. Auditing a course: To audit a course means to take it for neither grade nor credit. An audit, satisfactorily completed, is recorded as such on the transcript. No record is made if the audit is not satisfactorily completed. Normally the only requirements in an audited course are attendance requirements, which are set by the instructor. Audit should be indicated at the time of registration, or a course may be changed from credit to audit any time prior to the deadline for dropping a course. A course may be changed from audit to credit prior to this deadline only with the approval of the instructor, and payment of appropriate tuition adjustments. A full-time student, paying the normal tuition fee, is not charged a tuition fee for an audited course, provided the total load, including the audited course, does not exceed 18 hours. If the total load exceeds 18 hours, a tuition fee of $50 per hour is charged for the excess hours which are audited. Part-time students are charged a tuition fee of $50 per hour for an audited course. Any additional fees (such as laboratory fee) in an audited course are charged to the student. Arrangements to audit a course may be completed only if there is space available in the class. Music: Auditors of applied music private lessons will receive one half-hour lesson per week. Audit lessons will be made up on the same basis as lessons being taken for credit. Audit students will be placed only after music majors, music minors and others who are registered for credit have been placed. All audit students will pay the normal additional applied music tuition for private lessons and class instruction as listed in the Catalog chapter on fi nances. Independent studies/special topics: Students classified as juniors or seniors may pursue a subject of particular interest that is not already treated extensively in a regular course. In order to receive credit for such an independent study, the student must submit appropriate documentation of the plan of the study to the Registrar s Offi ce. The directed study form should provide a thorough description of the project or coursework to be undertaken, including an indication of papers, assignments, test dates, conferences and projected completion date. The proposal must be approved by the professor who will provide supervision and evaluation of the project, the head of the department in which credit is to be established and the Registrar. Credit for such special topics will be indicated on the transcript by use of the department name and the number 499. Independent studies are generally limited to students who have demonstrated above average scholarship (3.0 or higher gpa). Independent studies may occasionally be recommended for students who are unable to take regular courses because of scheduling confl icts. Forms for registration are available in the Registrar s Offi ce. 10

11 Satisfactory Scholastic Standing: To be considered in satisfactory scholastic standing, students must maintain a minimum cumulative grade point average according to the following schedule: Cumulative Hours Attempted Minimum Cumulative GPA or more 2.0 Students who fall below the above minimum standards are not making satisfactory progress and will be placed on academic probation. In addition, students may be considered to be on academic probation for failure to attain a grade point average in any given semester, or for failure to pass at least 50 percent of the credits registered at the end of the initial drop/add period (second week of the semester). Only students in satisfactory scholastic standing may participate in Associated Student Council offi ces, class presidencies, intercollegiate athletics, drama, public relations groups, or off-campus spiritual life groups, or tour off-campus with music ensembles. This policy does not apply to intramural activities. If after one semester on probation the cumulative grade point average is not improved, or after two successive semesters on probation the grade point average does not meet minimum standards for satisfactory progress (as outlined above), or at any time it falls below a 1.0 average, a student may be academically suspended by the Vice President for Academic Affairs. In addition, a student placed on probation for failure to meet the semester grade point requirement or 50 percent progress requirement may be suspended if signifi cant progress is not made during the probationary semester. In such a case the student has the right to appeal to the Committee on Academic Standards for a review of such a decision. Students on academic suspension are not eligible to apply for readmission until after the lapse of one regular semester. If readmitted, the student will be on academic probation, and if a grade point average of 2.00 is not attained for courses taken during the semester following, the student may be academically suspended for the second time. For transfer students, academic standing in the fi rst semester of attendance at Olivet is based on the cumulative grade point average at the previous institutions. After one semester of attendance at ONU, the academic standing of transfer students will be based on the grade point average for all coursework accepted toward a degree and included on the Olivet transcript. Eligibility: A student on probation is also ineligible. Ineligibility means that the student cannot participate in any public event, program or service away from the campus as a member of any ensemble group, missions team, or extramural group. Ineligibility excludes a student from participation in any intercollegiate athletic contest. In order to be eligible for intercollegiate athletic competition, students must adhere to the standards adopted by the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA), including, but not limited to, the following: 1. Be enrolled in at least 12 semester hours at the time of participation. (Repeat courses should be cleared with the Registrar.) 2. Accumulate at least 24 hours of credit in the two terms of attendance immediately preceding the semester of participation. (Repeat courses previously passed cannot count toward the 24-hour rule.) 3. A second-term freshman must have earned at least nine hours of credit during the fi rst semester. In addition, student-athletes must remain in satisfactory scholastic standing as defi ned above. 11

12 Satisfactory Progress Requirements for Institutional Scholarships, Federal and/or State Funded Financial Aid Programs: In order to maintain eligibility for institutional scholarships, federal and/or state fi nancial aid, a student must meet the satisfactory progress requirements established by Olivet Nazarene University in compliance with federal and/or state regulations, including the following: 1. A student must maintain a cumulative grade point average according to the following schedule: Cumulative Hours Attempted GPA Required or more Students must satisfactorily complete 67 percent of the cumulative hours attempted, including repeated courses; developmental/remedial credits; and/or courses that were recorded as W - Withdrawn. Financial Aid Warning: A student will be placed on fi nancial aid warning for failing to meet any of the above standards of progress. A student placed on fi nancial aid warning may continue to receive institutinal scholarships, federal and/or state aid during the following semester. Financial Aid Suspension: Financial aid suspension will result in the loss of all institutional scholarships, state, and/or federal fi nancial aid. A student s fi nancial aid will be suspended when any of the following occur: 1. When a student on financial aid warning the previous semester fails to meet the satisfactory progress requirements the following semester. 2. When having attempted 64 or more semester hours (including CLEP, Advance Placement, or profi ciency credits; transfer credits; repeated courses; developmental/remedial credits; and/or courses that were recorded as W - Withdrawn), the cumulative grade point average falls below When a student has attempted 192 semester hours (including CLEP, Advance Placement, or profi ciency credits; transfer credits; repeated courses; developmental/remedial credits; and/or courses that were recorded as W - Withdrawn) Appeals: In the event that extenuating circumstances are experienced, appeals for exceptions to the above requirements will be considered by the Financial Aid Committee. Such appeals must be submitted in writing to the Financial Aid committee no later than the first day of classes of the semester. If exceptions are granted by the Financial Aid committee, the student is put on financial aid probation for that semester and must meet all progress requirements upon completion of the probationary semester in order to continue receiving aid. Transfer Students and Financial Aid: For transfer students, academic standing in the fi rst semester of attendance at Olivet is based on the cumulative grade point average at the previous institutions. After one semester of attendance at ONU, the academic standing and satisfactory progress for fi nancial aid of transfer students will be based on the grade point average for all coursework accepted toward a degree and included on the Olivet transcript. Student Insurance Coverage Individual needs for insurance coverage are so varied that Olivet Nazarene University does not carry any personal health, accident or property insurance for students. It is the responsibility of each student to provide their own personal insurance for medical, accident, property and vehicles. In many instances, benefi ts of family medical and homeowners insurance policies extend to cover students while enrolled in college. Students should check their own insurance agents or companies to be certain of coverage. Students must have a health and accident insurance program in effect while enrolled as a student at Olivet. Vehicles used for student transportation must be fully covered by liability and property damage insurance at all times. 12

13 MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION: The University publishes special bulletins about semester course offerings, time of classes, faculty, and other matters, prior to each term or semester. The University reserves the right to determine the number of students in each class or section. If an insufficient number of students enroll for a course, the University reserves the right to cancel the course, to change the time, or to provide a different teacher of any course in a given semester s class schedule. The University reserves the right to drop a major or minor fi eld for lack of sufficient enrollment of students to guarantee a class size of ten or more in upper division classes. Candidates for graduation are expected to meet the requirements for graduation of the catalog in force at the time of entry. Students may also elect to follow a later catalog for all degree requirements. If a student leaves the institution for two or more consecutive semesters (six or more calendar months for non-traditional students) they will be required to follow the catalog in force at the time of reentry. For all academic programs, the University reserves the right to change degree or program requirements as it deems necessary. In cases of hardship caused by curricular changes, an appeal may be made to the Academic Standards Committee.
