2009-2010 Undergraduate Bulletin (pdf) - LaGrange College

ADDITIONAL POLICIES CONCERNING TRANSIENT WORK
Grades earned for transient work are not included in the cumulative grade
average. As stated in other sections of this Bulletin, a student will not be
given permission to repeat any course at another institution in which a
failing grade has been earned at LaGrange College.
Transient credit for courses within a student’s major will only be accepted
from a four-year baccalaureate degree conferring, regionally accredited
institution that offers a major in the specific discipline of the course being
requested for credit. Even if another such institution offers a major in the
specific discipline in which the course is being requested for credit, the
department chair in that discipline retains the right to deny the request.
EXTENSION, CORRESPONDENCE, AND ON-LINE COURSES
Any regularly enrolled LaGrange College student who desires to take
course work for transient credit by extension, correspondence, or through
on-line vendors must obtain prior approval in writing from his or her
academic adviser and from the Vice President for Academic Affairs and
Dean. Such extension or correspondence credit (grades of "C-" or better)
may not exceed six hours and no credits earned in this manner may be
applied toward the fulfillment of courses with the subject code CORE or
ENGL 1101 or 1102. Courses taken by extension or correspondence must
be completed with all grades recorded before the end of the student's final
term in order to graduate in that term.
LaGrange College does not typically award credit for courses earned
on-line.
CLASSIFICATION OF STUDENTS
A student is classified as a first-year student if he or she has earned fewer
than 30 hours of credit. A student is classified as a sophomore if he or she
has earned 30-59 hours of credit. To be classified as a junior, a student
must have completed 60 earned hours of credit. A student is classified as a
senior upon having earned 90 hours of credit. A student should be alert to
the fact that a minimum of 120 hours are required for graduation and that
some majors may require more than 120 hours. Attaining these minimum
progression requirements may not be sufficient to insure graduation within the
two semesters of the senior year.
