First Thing’s First<br />
BEFORE YOU ARRIVE...<br />
Each section of the <strong>SOAR</strong> booklet contains<br />
information about the <strong>SOAR</strong> event. Please review<br />
these sections carefully to ensure you are prepared<br />
prior to your <strong>SOAR</strong> event date. This will ensure that<br />
you are adequately prepared to maximize your<br />
<strong>SOAR</strong> experience and also ensure that your<br />
check-in process in August is as quick and efficient<br />
as possible!<br />
ARRIVING ON CAMPUS...<br />
Upon arriving, proceed directly to the residence<br />
hall parking lots (between buildings #17 and #18<br />
on the campus map). You do not need a parking<br />
pass. Students will enter Kenan Hall (map #17)<br />
adn parents/advocates will enter Hillman-Morris<br />
Hall (map #18). Staff will be available to get you<br />
checked in and show you to your room.<br />
ACCOMMODATIONS...<br />
Students will be paired according to gender with<br />
another student and will stay in Kenan Hall.<br />
Parents/advocates will be in a single room, sharing<br />
a bathroom with a same-gender parent. Should<br />
you decide to bring more than one parent/family<br />
member, please know that you will be charged<br />
$100 per person. Both student and parent/<br />
advocate will need to bring a pillow, blanket, and<br />
a sleeping bag, or a set of extra-long twin sheets,<br />
towels and toiletries. You will have some time to set<br />
up your rooms prior to lunch. Please note: these are<br />
residence hall rooms - they do not have a television.<br />
HURRICANE ADVISORS...<br />
Hurricane Advisors are returning students who<br />
serve during <strong>SOAR</strong> events. These are student<br />
leaders who recall the importance of their first<br />
experience on campus and wish to help make your<br />
first experience a positive one as well!<br />
The Hurricane Advisors will serve as team leaders<br />
for you during the <strong>SOAR</strong> event and each new<br />
student will be assigned to a Hurricane Advisor.<br />
They are happy to answer any questions and lend<br />
a helping hand. If you find that you are interested<br />
in becoming a Hurricane Advisor for the next<br />
academic year, recruitment will occur in the Spring<br />
2014 semester.<br />
FINANCIAL AID APPOINTMENTS...<br />
During <strong>SOAR</strong>, each student will have a one-on-one<br />
appointment with his/her Financial Aid Counselor.<br />
Please be sure to bring a copy of both the student’s<br />
and parent’s 2012 federal tax returns and both the<br />
student’s and parent’s FAFSA pin number. Financial<br />

Placement Testing Information<br />
All new students are required to participate in placement testing. New students who have a SAT<br />
verbal score of 400 or higher are not required to take the reading placement test. The sentence<br />
skills test is used to determine composition placement and the math test is used to determine the<br />
math course placement.<br />
If a student has transfer work, he/she is still requested to take the placement test so the college<br />
will have placement information. However, transfer work will supercede the placement scores and<br />
the student may proceed to the next level of coursework.<br />
The placement scores, the high school transcript, SAT/ACT scores, and records of any transfer work<br />
are compiled into an “advising folder” and the advisor who assists the new student with registration<br />
will have access to this information to help make the most appropriate schedule with the student.<br />
Prior to the administration of the placement tests, students will participate in a test-taking<br />
strategies workshop. This workshop is designed to help them maximize their performance on the<br />
tests.<br />
Any student who needs accommodations for placement testing must have disability<br />
documentation sent to the Office of Learning Support and Disability Services (OLSDS),<br />
Taft 112, prior to testing. This documentation should include an IEP or 504 Plan as well as any<br />
testing that was done to create this plan.<br />
For questions, please contact Karen Martin (919) 497-3236 or kmartin@louisburg.edu.<br />
Students are reminded of the following policies regarding placement testing:<br />
1. Pencils will be provided to the students for testing. Students will only be allowed to use<br />
calculators that are provided by <strong>Louisburg</strong> <strong>College</strong>.<br />
2. Students are NOT allowed to use a dictionary, thesaurus, cell phone, ipod, or other electronic<br />
multimedia device while taking placement tests. Students can use a scientific calculator during<br />
math placement test.<br />
3. Every student will be required to take the Sentence Skills placement test (used to assess<br />
writing skills) and the algebra placement test.<br />
4. Based on the score earned on the SAT or ACT, some students will be asked to complete a third<br />
placement test to determine their reading comprehension level.<br />
5. <strong>College</strong> transfer students are also required to complete placement testing.<br />
6. Scores earned on placement tests will determine the courses (developmental or college<br />
courses) for which students will be allowed to register.<br />
7. There will be no makeup tests allowed for placement testing, so take your time and do your best!<br />

How much does it cost to go to school at <strong>Louisburg</strong><br />
<strong>College</strong>?<br />
2013-14 charges for a residential student are<br />
$25,370 (tuition, fees, room, meal plan, and books).<br />
2013-14 charges for a commuter student are<br />
$15,540 (tuition, fees, and books).<br />
Can I apply for financial aid as an independent<br />
student?<br />
The federal government requires parent tax<br />
information on the FAFSA unless students meet<br />
specific criteria that establish independent status.<br />
The most common reasons students are considered<br />
independent are:<br />
Student has a legal guardian<br />
You are age 24 or older<br />
You are married<br />
Active Military Duty<br />
Parents are deceased<br />
Student is a veteran of the U.S. Armed Services<br />
You have children who receive more than half their<br />
support from the student during the school year.<br />
Can I be independent if my parents do not claim<br />
me on their tax return?<br />
No. Unless students meet one of the FAFSA criteria<br />
that establish an independent status, parent<br />
information must be included.<br />
What if I have no contact with my parent?<br />
Please contact the Office of Financial Aid to<br />
discuss your situation.<br />
Is there a deadline for applying for financial aid?<br />
We encourage students to file by March 15. Some<br />
financial aid is limited, so filing early means there<br />
is a better chance to receive some of the limited<br />
funding.<br />
What if my tax return will not be completed until<br />
later in the year?<br />
With a reasonable idea of income, the FAFSA may<br />
be filed using estimated income information.<br />
What is an EFC?<br />
EFC stands for “Expected Family Contribution.”<br />
After the FAFSA is processed using the federal<br />
methodology formula, the EFC number is<br />
calculated. This is the amount a family could be<br />
expected to have available to contribute toward<br />
the student’s education.<br />
Do I have to fill anything out to receive the<br />
financial aid I was awarded?<br />
Yes. All forms included with your financial aid<br />
award letter must be completed and returned to<br />
the Office of Financial Aid as well as completion<br />
of required items on-line.<br />
12
What if I do not have enough financial aid to<br />
meet my cost of attendance?<br />
For dependent students, parent PLUS Loans are<br />
available to help with educational expenses, up<br />
to the cost of attendance. Dependent students<br />
whose parents are denied the PLUS Loan may<br />
be eligible for additional federal unsubsidized<br />
student loan funds. Parents must apply for the<br />
PLUS Loan and be denied for the student to<br />
become eligible for additional student loan funds.<br />
Every year, the student must file the renewal<br />
Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).<br />
<strong>Louisburg</strong> <strong>College</strong> Code: 002943.<br />
If your student receives a scholarship from<br />
an outside source, you must inform our office as<br />
soon as possible so we can update your awards.<br />
To ensure that funds are applied accurately, the<br />
scholarship check should contain the student’s full<br />
name.<br />
Why didn’t I get a Pell Grant?<br />
Federal Pell Grants are awarded based on federal<br />
eligibility requirements and students’ FAFSA<br />
information. The EFC range for a Pell Grant is<br />
0-5081. Students whose EFC is out of the Pell<br />
Grant range do not qualify.<br />
Why don’t I have a financial aid package?<br />
Have you completed the 2013-2014 FAFSA? Did<br />
you list the correct federal school code (002943)<br />
on the FAFSA? If not, return to the FAFSA and add<br />
our school code. Did you and your parents sign<br />
the FAFSA with your PIN numbers? The FAFSA will<br />
be rejected if signatures are not submitted.<br />
Why was I selected for a process called<br />
Verification?<br />
The Department of Education requires all colleges<br />
verify data of certain financial aid applicants. Files<br />
are randomly selected by the federal processor.<br />
What happens if I withdraw from a class or<br />
classes?<br />
Financial aid is awarded with the expectation that<br />
students will complete the semester for which<br />
aid was awarded. Students who are considering<br />
dropping classes, or withdrawing from <strong>Louisburg</strong><br />
<strong>College</strong>, should contact their financial aid advisor<br />
to discuss the matter. In order to continue to<br />
receive federal funds students must be making<br />
satisfactory progress toward their degree.<br />
All students have a <strong>Louisburg</strong> <strong>College</strong> E-mail<br />
account. It is very important that students check<br />
this e-mail at least once a week. This office sends<br />
most of its notifications to students by e-mail to<br />
the LC address. Students receive notice whenever<br />
documents are needed, signatures are required,<br />
and changes are made to their awards. It is the<br />
student’s responsibility to provide changes to<br />
addresses, e-mail, and/or phone numbers.<br />
13<br />
If you are interested in outside scholarship<br />
sources, check out www.fastweb.com and cfnc.org<br />
(for NC students).<br />
The parent, as well as the student, needs a<br />
Federal Personal Identification (PIN) to sign the<br />
FAFSA and MPN on-line. You can visit the website<br />
www.pin.ed.gov to request a PIN or a duplicate PIN.<br />
If you have been awarded Federal Work-Study,<br />
you must apply for a job, be hired by a department,<br />
and turn in a timesheet at the the end of each<br />
month. Students are paid monthly by direct<br />
deposit. More information will be provided<br />
regarding this program at a later time.<br />
Are you a veteran of the U.S. Armed Forces?<br />
Are you the dependent of a veteran whose 100%<br />
disability is service related? Are you the dependent<br />
of a veteran whose death was service related?<br />
Are you a parent who transferred benefits to<br />
a dependent? If so, and you are interested in<br />
receiving VA Education Benefits, contact Vickie<br />
Fleming, <strong>Louisburg</strong> <strong>College</strong>’s VA Certifying Official.<br />
(vfleming@louisburg.edu)<br />
The student’s right to privacy:<br />
All financial aid records and data submitted with<br />
the student’s application for financial aid are<br />
treated as confidential information and are subject<br />
to disclosure requirements under the Family<br />
Educational Right to Privacy Act (FERPA). This<br />
means that the parent must be authorized by the<br />
student to access their information. We cannot<br />
share your student’s information with anyone<br />
without such a document. Your student must<br />
submit a signed FERPA form, identifying those<br />
persons with whom we can discuss their financial<br />
aid information in detail.
HOW FINANCIAL AID WORKS<br />
Financial need is determined using information you and your parents supply when you complete<br />
and submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The information you provide<br />
on the FAFSA is processed using a Federal Methodology (FM) established by the United States<br />
Congress. The FM calculates your Expected Family Contribution (EFC), i.e., the amount you and<br />
your family are expected to contribute toward your education. When you complete a FAFSA,<br />
renewal FAFSA, or electronic FAFSA, the federal processor will send you an acknowledgment that<br />
your application was processed and your EFC. The federal processor electronically transmits the<br />
analysis of the data you submitted to each college you specified on the FAFSA.<br />
<strong>Louisburg</strong> <strong>College</strong> determines your financial need by subtracting your EFC (Expected Family<br />
Contribution) from the cost of the college.<br />
Example:<br />
<strong>Louisburg</strong> <strong>College</strong><br />
Cost of Attendance 25,370<br />
- Expected Family Contribution 3,400<br />
= Financial Need 21,970<br />
YOUR FINANCIAL AID PACKAGE<br />
Once we receive the results of your FAFSA, we will create your financial aid package based on<br />
your financial need. It is <strong>Louisburg</strong>’s policy to award scholarships and grants first, followed by<br />
loans for which you qualify.<br />
Students receive a Financial Aid Award letter outlining the financial aid being offered. This<br />
notice will include general information about the awards and forms and instructions required to<br />
complete the process of accepting the awards.<br />
SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES<br />
While the process of determining financial aid eligibility is basically the same for all applicants,<br />
there is some flexibility for special circumstances. Your financial aid counselor determines<br />
whether your special circumstances merit changes in the data elements which determine your<br />
Expected Family Contribution. Additional information will be required to document your special<br />
circumstances. Situations which might merit special circumstances consideration include:<br />
1. Reduction of income due to loss of Child Support, Alimony, and/or Social Security<br />
Benefits.<br />
2. Loss or reduction of the household income due to death, permanent disability, and/or<br />
separation/divorce (for independent students or parents of dependent students).<br />
3. Reduction of earned income in the current year due to loss of employment.<br />
If you feel you have any special circumstances that might affect the amount you and your family<br />
are expected to contribute, please talk with your financial aid counselor.<br />
14
DIRECT LOAN INFORMATION<br />
Students who have been awarded a Federal Direct Loan must complete a number of steps to<br />
complete the process.<br />
Step 1 - Students must accept or decline their awards. If you wish to accept the loan(s) offered,<br />
continue to step 2. If you wish to decline all or any loan, please write decline by the award,<br />
sign and return the award letter to the Office of Financial Aid. If no action is taken, the loans<br />
may be cancelled.<br />
Step 2 - Students who are borrowing for the first time must sign a Master Promissory Note (MPN).<br />
The Department of Education (the lender) has a website students may use to electronically<br />
sign MPNs (www.studentloans.gov). To sign electronically, students need their Federal<br />
Personal Identification Number (PIN) used to submit the Federal Application for Student Aid<br />
(FAFSA). A duplicate or replacement PIN may be requested via the PIN website<br />
(www.pin.ed.gov). The MPN remains valid for ten (10) years, as long as there has been a<br />
disbursement from the loan within 12 months from the date the note is signed.<br />
Step 3 - Complete On-line Loan Entrance Counseling. First time student loan borrowers are required<br />
to complete loan entrance counseling. The requirement may be completed on-line,<br />
(www.studentloans.gov).<br />
Step 4 - For Parent Borrowers:<br />
Parent borrowers seeking PLUS Loans must complete and return the Institutional<br />
Application Federal Direct Plus Loan. This information is submitted to the Department of<br />
Education for credit approval. Parent PLUS borrowers must also sign a Master Promissory<br />
Note. The parent must sign the MPN electronically via the MPN website at<br />
www.studentloans.gov. If a parent’s credit application is denied, the student may be<br />
considered for an additional unsubsidized direct loan up to $4000.<br />

college or university shall present a notice of deficiency to the student. The student shall have 30<br />
calendar days from the date of the student’s first registration to obtain the required immunization.<br />
If immunization requires a series of doses and the period necessary to give the vaccine at standard<br />
intervals extends beyond the date of the first registration, the student shall be allowed to attend the<br />
colelge or university upon written certification by a physician that the standard series is in progress.<br />
The physician shall state the time period needed to complete the series. Upon termination of this time<br />

Campus and Residence Life<br />
Living in the residence halls affords you an opportunity to grow and find meaning through new friendships,<br />
experiences, and participation in a community. We firmly believe the residence halls are more than just<br />
places to sleep. They are places to live and learn.<br />
The Residence Life Staff at <strong>Louisburg</strong> <strong>College</strong> understands that you will spend almost half of your time<br />
at <strong>Louisburg</strong> in the residence halls. Therefore, we realize that this is a wonderful opportunity to enhance<br />
your college experience through educational and social programming that will complement your formal<br />
classroom learning.<br />
Your safety is of the utmost importance. Therefore, we have 6 full-time, professional Residential Life Staff<br />
members as well as Campus Police available to respond to your needs on a 24-hour basis. Additionally,<br />
Resident Assistants -student leaders- live on each floor of the residence hall. Resident Assistants help<br />
facilitate a strong residential community through regular meetings and fun, interactive, and educational<br />
programming. The Department of Housing and Residence Life strives to provide you with a comfortable<br />
and safe living and learning environment. Along with Residence Life Staff, we have a dedicated staff of<br />
housekeepers and maintenance technicians to keep your residence hall clean and operating smoothly.<br />
We believe that living on campus is a vital part of the student experience at <strong>Louisburg</strong> <strong>College</strong>; therefore,<br />
we require that each student live on campus. Students residing with parents within driving distance are<br />
allowed to commute. (Off-Campus Living Requirements listed in the <strong>Louisburg</strong> <strong>College</strong> Student Handbook)<br />
Registering for a Housing Assignment:<br />
During <strong>SOAR</strong> you will complete a housing contract<br />
and a lifestyle indicator to assist in selecting a<br />
roomate. If you meet someone during <strong>SOAR</strong> with<br />
whom you wish to live, you may indicate this on<br />
the lifestyle indicator as well. Keep in mind that<br />
both you and your preferred roommate will have to<br />
list one another on the lifestyle indicator! Please<br />
know that while we make every effort to honor your<br />
request we cannot guarantee any room/roommate<br />
request.<br />
Internet:<br />
All residence hall rooms are wired for high-speed<br />
internet service. Additionally, students are able to<br />
access the <strong>Louisburg</strong> <strong>College</strong> Wireless Network<br />
in any building (including all residence halls). If<br />
students are using the Ethernet port for internet<br />
usage, they must supply their own Ethernet cord to<br />
connect to the internet.<br />

Laundry/Vending:<br />
Washers and dryers are located in Wright, Kenan,<br />
Merritt, and Hillman Halls. It is requested that<br />
residents use the laundry facilities in their hall<br />
where available. If facilities are not available in their<br />
hall, male residents are asked to use the facility in<br />
Wright Hall and female residents are asked to use<br />
the facility in Merritt Hall. Any problems should be<br />
reported to the Department of Student Life.<br />
For the convenience of all students, VISA, Discover,<br />
Mastercard, and Debit Cards are accepted at all<br />
laundry machines. Since many students tend to do<br />
their laundry during similar time periods, it results<br />
in busy laundry rooms. Additionally, Laundry View<br />
is available for all students. Laundry View is an<br />
internet application that allows students to monitor<br />
the status of washer and dryers through a web<br />
browser. Laundry view can be accessed at:<br />
www.laundryview.com/louisburgcoll or from the<br />
colleges’s website.<br />

Room Changes:<br />
Students are able to make room changes after<br />
the first two weeks of classes. Should a student<br />
desire to change rooms after that time, they<br />
should first contact their Community Director.<br />
The Community Director will then work with the<br />
residents of the room to mediate any potential<br />
conflicts or issues that might exist. If this process<br />
does not assist students in being able to continue<br />
to live with each other, the Community Director<br />
will recommend a room change and the student<br />
would then be able to make that change.<br />
Dining Services:<br />
Chartwells, Inc. operates the Duke Dining Center<br />
and the Hurricane Zone for <strong>Louisburg</strong> <strong>College</strong>.<br />
All resident students are required to purchase<br />
the meal plan which includes 19 meals per week<br />
(breakfast, lunch, and dinner M-F; brunch and<br />
dinner S-S). Commuting students may purchase<br />
meals a la carte from the Duke Dining Center or<br />
the Hurricane Zone. Commuters may also utilize<br />
their Hurricane card by purchasing a Commuter<br />
Meal Plan of either 40 or 80 meals in the<br />
Business Office.<br />
The Hurricane Zone offers students a wide<br />
variety of fast food items as well as convenience<br />
store items such as soft drinks, snacks, and<br />
other items. Students may also exchange their<br />
dining hall meal for equivalency meals at the<br />
Hurricane Zone. Each day the Zone will offer<br />
several equivalency exchange options from which<br />
to choose. Additionally, each resident student<br />
receives $50 per semester in Hurricane points on<br />
their card to use at the Zone.<br />
Campus Organizations:<br />
Student organizations provide leadership<br />
development and social growth that complement<br />
academic life. Most organizations are open to<br />
any member of the student body, while some<br />
have GPA or other requirements for membership.<br />
Student organizations are governed by a<br />
constitution and supervised by a faculty or staff<br />
advisor. Students who have interests beyond our<br />
current campus organizations should contact the<br />
Director of Student Engagement about creating a<br />
new student organization.<br />

Campus Safety & Police:<br />
The Campus Police department is located on<br />
the first floor of Davis Hall. Officers are on duty<br />
24-hours a day, seven days a week. Our Campus<br />
Police Officers are here to assist students in any<br />
way possible, most notably by helping to provide a<br />
safe living and learning environment.<br />
A safe and secure campus is a high priority at<br />
<strong>Louisburg</strong> <strong>College</strong>. Campus awareness and<br />
cooperation, along with the guidance and support<br />
of a well-trained staff, contribute to a positive<br />
learning environment. At <strong>SOAR</strong> events and new<br />
student orientation in January, students are<br />
informed of the services provided by <strong>Louisburg</strong><br />
<strong>College</strong> Campus Safety and Police. Students are<br />
provided with information via handouts and the<br />
<strong>Louisburg</strong> <strong>College</strong> Student Handbook.<br />
Periodically throughout the year, Campus Safety<br />
and Police along with the Student Life Office<br />
will offer safety and crime prevention programs.<br />
These programs may cover topics such as self<br />
defense, drug and alcohol abuse, residence hall<br />
security, etc. Inherent in all of these programs<br />
is the need for students to understand their<br />
responsibility for their own security and that of<br />
others. Students are strongly encouraged to<br />
participate in these programs.<br />
The Campus Safety and Police Office prepares<br />
the Campus Crime Report in compliance with<br />
the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security<br />
Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act. This<br />
report includes all crimes reported to the Campus<br />
Safety and Police Office, as well as crimes<br />
reported to designated college officials (including<br />
but not limited to Deans, coaches, advisors, and<br />
Residence Community Coordinators) and local<br />
law enforcement agencies.<br />
Each year students, faculty, and staff receive<br />
e-mail notification of the availability of the current<br />
report. The report can be found as part of the<br />
current <strong>Louisburg</strong> <strong>College</strong> Student Handbook<br />
on the <strong>College</strong>’s website at www.lousiburg.edu.<br />
Copies of the report may also be obtained at the<br />
Campus Safety and Police Office.<br />
Locked your keys in your car? No worries.<br />
Campus Police can assist you by getting you into<br />
your car.<br />
Flat tire? No worries. Campus Police can assist<br />
you by inflating the tire long enough for you to<br />
drive your car to a service station.<br />
Campus Escort Service: Campus Police<br />
provides campus escort services throughout the<br />
entire campus.<br />
Operation ID: Protect your property by having<br />
your property labeled<br />
LC Alerts: This system is designed to quickly<br />
provide important information to all members<br />
of the <strong>Louisburg</strong> <strong>College</strong> community. It utilizes<br />
both campus e-mail and personal cell phones<br />
to distribute emergency notifications in a timely<br />
manner. Community members may also opt-in<br />
to receive up-to-date school information such as<br />
news, sports, special event notices, and more.<br />
How can I sign up for LC Alerts? Shortly after<br />
arriving on campus, students will receive an<br />
e-mail (sent to their <strong>Louisburg</strong> <strong>College</strong> address)<br />
instructing them on how to register. Registration<br />
is quick, easy, and encouraged! Students can<br />
select to have alerts sent to any combination of<br />
e-mails, phone, and text numbers.<br />
Health Insurance & Health Services:<br />
<strong>Louisburg</strong> <strong>College</strong> provides a student accident<br />
insurance plan that is a supplemental plan to the<br />
student’s family health policy(ies). The cost of this<br />
insurance plan is included in the student’s fees.<br />
The Campus Health Clinic is located in Kenan<br />
110 and is staffed by nurse practitioners from the<br />
Franklin County Health Department. The clinic<br />
is open from 1-5pm on Mondays and Thursdays.<br />
The clinic provides basic services on-site and<br />
referral service for more in-depth needs. Students<br />
are requested to provide a copy of their current<br />
insurance card to the clinic to assist in making<br />
referrals when needed.<br />
