2009-2010 Undergraduate Bulletin (pdf) - LaGrange College

GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS
A student who enters LaGrange College under a given Bulletin
generally will be graduated under the core curriculum, hours
requirement, and grade point average requirements of that Bulletin.
Major requirements are those in force at the time a student formally
declares a major. If a student suspends his or her study and re-enters
more than four years later, he or she will graduate under the
requirements of the Bulletin in effect at the time of re-entry.
Students in their last year of college work must have an audit of their
course credits and planned courses examined upon pre-registration for
their final semester in residence. This is called a "graduation petition."
The major adviser and the Registrar assist the student in completing this
petition. No student may participate in Commencement exercises if he
or she has not completed a graduation petition. Also, no student may
participate in Commencement unless all graduation requirements have
been certified as completed by the Registrar and the Vice President for
Academic Affairs and Dean.
Students at LaGrange College will participate in the evaluation of the
extent to which institutional education goals are being achieved. This
evaluation will be in both the core curriculum and the major. Collegewide
assessment days for seniors are administered in October for
December graduates and March for May graduates. Dates and times can
be found on the Academic Calendar. For major assessments, consult the
specific majors for details.
TRANSCRIPTS
Students are entitled to transcripts of their record free of charge. No
transcripts will be issued for any student under financial obligation to
the College. Transcript requests must be made in writing to the Registrar
well in advance of the time the transcript is needed. Transcripts will be
issued promptly; however, at the beginning and end of terms some delay
may be unavoidable. Unofficial transcripts may be obtained from the
online student module of the web.
STUDENT APPEAL OF ACADEMIC POLICY
Students may petition for exception to published academic policy. The
Academic Council reviews the petition.
