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 />

<strong>SOAR</strong> event. Please make note of your appointment<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 />

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 />

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 />
