The student who receives anI must complete the work no later than thebeginning of final examinations of the followingsemester, earlier if possible. Theinstructor may request a one-semesterextension in unusual circumstances.Grade Warning SystemsThe University has devised two gradewarningsystems to help contribute to asuccessful educational experience forstudents, particularly those who are havinginitial difficulties adjusting to thedemands of their university experience.The early warning system is undertakenduring the fourth week of class forall 100-level and 200-level courses. Thissystem complements the mid-termwarning system which is undertakenduring the eighth week for all courses.Through these systems, students arealerted in a timely fashion so as to makeadjustments before their academic recordsare affected.Grade Point AverageLetter grades are assigned the followingnumerical values:A = 4.00 C = 2.00A- = 3.67 C- = 1.67B+ = 3.33 D+ = 1.33B = 3.00 D = 1.00B- = 2.67 D- = 0.67C+ = 2.33 F = 0.00To find the quality points earned in acourse, multiply the numerical value of thecourse grade by the number of credit hoursearned in each course. That is, a grade of Bin a 3-semester hour course would beworth 3 x 3 or 9 quality points. To find thequality point average, total all the qualitypoints earned and divide the sum by thetotal number of graded credit hours.Grades received for transfer credits do notearn quality points. Incompletes are notcalculated in the GPA until a grade isassigned for the course.Grade ReportsA student’s academic performance is confidentialinformation and written permissionfrom the student is required to releaseinformation to individuals outside theadministrative or academic community ofthe University of Maine at Presque Isle.

Considerable care is taken to ensurethat all course registration and gradeinformation entered on a student’s permanentrecord is accurate. Records areassumed to be correct if a student doesnot report errors to the Registrar’s Officeafter completion of a semester.TranscriptsThe valid documentation of academicwork and student status is an official transcriptof the academic record, stamped withthe signature of the Registrar and embossedResidency RequirementsAll four-year degree candidates must complete at least 30 credit hoursof study at UM-Presque Isle in order to receive their degree. For B.A.degrees, 12 of these credits must be in the major and 18 credits must beupper level. For B.S. degrees, 3 of these credits must be in the major and12 credits must be upper level.All two-year degree programs require 15 credit hours completed atUM-Presque Isle.Dual DegreeA student may earn multiple degrees provided they are different. Inorder to receive additional degrees, the following conditions must bemet: (1)The first degree must have been awarded; (2)The student mustapply through Admissions for subsequent degrees; (3) A minimumnumber of credits must be earned beyond the total hours earned for theprevious degree: 15 for each additonal Associate, 30 for each additionalBaccalaureate.Post-Baccalaureate Study for Second DegreeStudents who have already earned a baccalaureate degree from aregionally accredited institution, other than UMPI, will receive a waiverof UMPI core requirements.This waiver will be posted during the transfercredit evaluation process.Repeating a CourseNo student willbe allowedto repeatacourse for the purpose of replacinga grade in which the student has received a C grade or higher. A studentmay repeat a course for the purpose of replacing a grade only once.A student may appeal further repetitions through the regular academicappeals process. If a course is repeated, the second grade stands and is calculatedin the grade point average. Failure in a required course necessitatesrepeating the course at the campus where it was taken in order toreplace the failure with a letter grade. Repeated courses do not count forcalculating Dean’s List GPA qualification. The grades for all attempts ofa course taken for credit appear on the student’s transcript. Exception tothis policy is made for topics courses and similar courses where the subjectmaterial of the course changes from offering to offering. ENG 311,ENG 312 and ENG 314 are also exempted from this policy.Leave of Absence or Withdrawal from the UniversityThe University requires that all degree-seeking students enroll ina c a d e m i c i n f o r m a t i o nwith the seal of the University. A signedtranscript request is required before a transcriptis released to the student or a designee,and there can be no outstanding obligationsagainst the student’s account with theUniversity. Such obligations may includeunreturned books or fines due in theLibrary, overdue tuition or fees, unpaidparking fines, and delinquency in repaymentof a National Direct Student Loan. Astudent is entitled to one transcript free ofcharge. There is a charge of $3. 00 for a singleRegistrationcontinuedtranscript and $ 1. 00 for each additional copyordered at the same time.There is no chargefor a transcript which is sent to anothercampus in the University of Maine System.Transcripts from other institutions, whenpresented for admission or evaluation,become a part of the student’s permanentacademic file and are not returned or copiedfor distribution. Students desiring transcriptsreflecting work attempted elsewhereshould request them from the appropriateinstitution. ★Academic Policiescourse work every fall and spring semester during their academiccareer. Summer sessions are optional.If a student’s academic plans must be discontinued, the studentmust choose one of two options: a Leave of Absence or StudentWithdrawal from the University. The Advising Center can help studentsdecide the more appropriate course of action for their situation.Failure to formally request a leave or withdrawal will result in theautomatic removal from the official roll, and the student must reapplythrough the Admissions Office for reinstatement of degree status.A Leave of Absence releases the student from degree study for oneacademic semester (not including summer sessions), after which thestudent may resume study according to regular registration procedures,or the student may request an extension of the leave of absencefor one additional semester, or may withdraw from the UniversityA Student Withdrawal from the University (as opposed to a coursewithdrawal) is appropriate if the student wishes to discontinue studyat UM-Presque Isle for the foreseeable future.This officially closes thestudent’s file and serves as notice that the student initiated separationfrom the University. Failure to withdraw officially can seriously complicateany effort later to resume study at this or another university.Students may request leaves or withdrawals during a semester if circumstancesare such that the student is no longer able to continuewith coursework. When a request is submitted prior to the last datefor withdrawal without academic penalty (as determined by the VicePresident for Academic Affairs and published in the academic calendar)a grade of W is recorded for all courses in which the student iscurrently enrolled.If the request is submitted after the deadline for withdrawal onlyextenuating circumstances, as determined by the Academic AppealsBoard, justify the granting of W grades. Requests for leaves of absenceand student withdrawals are processed through the Advising Centerand the Office of Student Records.Course Work at Other InstitutionsMatriculated students may satisfy degree requirements throughstudy at another institution following approval from their advisor;however, grades earned in approved courses taken at another institutionare not included in the cumulative grade point average.North of Ordinary ✩ catalogue 2008-2009 ✩ university of maine at presque isle23

Generally, course grades do not transfer from institution to institution.Semester and cumulative grade point averages reflect onlythose courses taken at the home institution. Exceptions to this policyare approved by the Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs. Students inexternal degree programs and/or taking courses at distant sites andcenters should inquire about any exceptions which may apply.2. Grades of C- or better in courses taken within the University ofMaine System and accepted for transfer credit will be recorded on thestudent’s transcript although not computed into the cumulative gradepoint average.3. All undergraduate courses successfully completed with a C- or betterat one University of Maine System institution will transfer to another.4. Each student must meet the established requirements of the academicprogram or college into which she/he is transferring. Transfercredits do not necessarily count toward such requirements.5.Transfer students must consult the individual institution catalog todetermine requirements regarding the number of degree credits thatmust be taken through the degree-granting institution.6. Transferring students will be expected to provide official transcriptsreflecting all previous postsecondary coursework.7. Each accepted transfer student will receive a written evaluation oftransfer credit. The transfer student should then meet with programfaculty/advisors at the receiving institution to review how the transfercredit will be applied.8. Course credit will be transferred only for coursework delivered byregionally accredited institutions, through AP or CLEP, or through lifeexperience (i.e. prior learning or other learning such as military training,etc.) when validated through the approved campus processes.9. Course credit from international institutions will be accepted fortransfer consistent with established institutional policies.10. If a student disagrees with a decision made in regard to the transferof his/her credits from one institution to another, the student may appealthrough the regular academic appeals process at the receiving institution.Program of Basic StudiesThe Program of Basic Studies, designed for new students who needadditional preparation for college study, involves developmentalcoursework in writing (ENG 11), reading (ENG 15), mathematics(MAT 13, 17), and science (SCI 12). Developmental courses must beincluded in the student’s first semester of study. Developmentalcoursework should be completed by the end of the freshman year.When enrollment in developmental courses is prescribed by placementtest results, the courses become prerequisites to degree requirementsand must be completed satisfactorily, with a C– or better, priorto enrolling in corresponding college-level coursework.Developmental courses are considered foundational or preparatory.They are given for transcript credit and are factored into the student’sgrade point average. They also count for full-time status and financialaid purposes, but they do not count toward degree program requirements.Developmental courses require attendance and may not bewaived. Students who test into a developmental course must completethis course in order to be eligible for graduation. ★Guide to test scores and placement*Test Score Ranges Course PlacementUM-Presque Isle . . . . . . . .1 . . . . . . . . .ENG 11 Required – Prerequisite for EDU 150, ENG 101, REC 120, PSY 100, all scienceWriting Test # 2 . . . . . . . .ENG 1013 . . . . . . . .Honors ENG 101 RecommendedAccuplacer®Reading Test # . . . . . . . .20-66 . . . . . . .ENG 15 Required – Prerequisite for ANT 100, BUS 101, EDU 150, PSY 100, REC 120, SOC 100,all science.

Philosophy of the General EducationCurriculumThe University of Maine at Presque Isle functions onthe assumption that all graduates should experience ageneral education common to all students, providing thefundamental knowledge and skills that will assist futurelearning. The faculty has developed the following generaleducation curriculum in accordance with the goals ofUniversity: (1) to provide students with the competenciesnecessary for academic and professional success; (2) toexpose students to multiple methods of gathering andemploying knowledge in order to facilitate long-termlearning not limited to a single discipline; (3) to preparestudents to think critically and formulate effectiveresponses to a broader range of texts, media, circumstances,and institutions, so that they may become activeand effective participants in communities both local andglobal. By providing a broad foundation of informationand skills, the General Education Curriculum (GEC)insures that the graduate not only has knowledge of amajor field but also the flexibility to think critically andargue persuasively on a range of issues relevant to personaland professional life. Critical and conceptualthinking, sensitivity to the multiplicities of human experience,and acquisition of technical skills are pervasivethroughout the educational experience at the Universityof Maine at Presque Isle.The GEC, then, is not simply a collection of coursesrepresenting different disciplines but rather a set of courseswith common, interrelated aims. The GEC synthesizesdisciplines to provide a total university experience, producinga liberally educated graduate, regardless of major.The structural framework of the GEC addresses severalconcepts; some represent a body of knowledge, someskills, and some an intellectual or ethical perspective.The GEC is divided into two inter-connected sections:Foundations of Knowledge and Approaches to Learning.In the Foundations section, students explore concepts ofLiteracy, Multicultural Experiences, and QuantitativeANT . . . . . .

The Bachelor of Liberal StudiesDegree Program is an interdisciplinary majorin which the student may pursue broad interests ordevelop a specialized program in areas wheremajors are not currently offered. The Bachelor ofLiberal Studies (B.L.S) option is designed by thestudent and the academic advisor to ensure comprehensivenessin the student’s academic experience,while at the same time affording flexibility infulfilling requirements. The B.L.S may serve as aterminal degree or as preparation for graduateschool, professional school, or employment inbusiness, government or industry.DesignCentral to the B.L.S degree are the followingfeatures:✓ The freedom to select courses to meetthe student’s individual needs, taking intoaccount previous college course work,prior college-level learning, and constraintsunique to the individual.✓ The opportunity to select, through aplanning and approval process, an area ofconcentration, and fully develop one’s currentinterests; or to build on previous academicwork; or to build on a concentrationalready formed (e.g., within the structureof the A.A. in Liberal Studies degreeprogram).✓ The opportunity to pursue new courses,to investigate disciplines not previouslyencountered, and to pursue interdisciplinarystudies leading to an understanding ofrelationships between different disciplines.✓ The potential to receive academic creditfor demonstrated prior college-levellearning.Course WorkThe B.L.S degree consists of the GeneralEducation Curriculum (44 credits), a concentration(45 credits – 24 must be upper level),and electives (30 credits – 21 must be upperlevel) for a total of 120 credits. Inclusion of aminor is recommended. A minimum cumulativegrade point average of 2.00 and a 2.25 inthe concentration are required. At least 30semester hours of credit must be taken at theUniversity of Maine at Presque Isle.Liberal Studies, B.L.S.University-wide ProgramOrdinarily, not more than 30 credit hoursmay be taken in any single discipline.Plan of Study*To enroll in the B.L.S. degree program, thestudent should make an appointment withthe Director of Advising who will assist thestudent with the approval process. The studentshould submit for advisor approval awritten Plan of Study as soon as possible.The Plan of Study will include:✓ A concentration title that does notduplicate an existing degree program title.✓ A list of the courses that will fulfill thestudent’s proposed concentration, includingminor coursework if applicable.✓ A written rationale explaining the concentrationand the way the proposedcoursework forms a coherent field of study.✓ The student’s Prior Learning Portfolio ifthe student is applying for Prior LearningCredit.Credit for Prior LearningWithin the B.L.S. degree, the student mayearn academic credit for prior college-levellearning through CLEP/DANTES exams,challenge exams, and the Prior LearningPortfolio Assessment. A student may earn asmuch as 30 credits for prior learning, ofwhich up to 15 credits may come fromCLEP/DANTES or challenge exams and upto 15 credits may come from the PriorLearning Portfolio Assessment.The Prior Learning Portfolio Assessment,a component unique to the Bachelor ofLiberal Studies (B.L.S.) Degree Program,allows a student to petition for academiccredit for college level learning achieved outsidethe classroom. The student prepares andpresents a portfolio that demonstrateshis/her knowledge and competence in a particularsubject area of discipline. Theemphasis of the portfolio is upon thedemonstration of college-level learning inthe subject area and not merely a descriptionof the student’s experiences or time spent ina particular employment position.While another program is being designed, teacher*certification seekers will be permitted to obtain theBachelor of Liberal Studies with CertificationConcentration. This is an option open only for studentswho enter already holding a bachelor’s degreein an appropriate area and who are seeking teachercertification in the State of Maine.Prior Learning PortfolioAssessmentStudents wishing to present a portfolio forevaluation should discuss preparation of theportfolio and the evaluation process withtheir faculty advisor and with the facultymember(s) with expertise in the field(s) to beevaluated for prior learning. During the evaluationprocess, the student may be requestedto supply additional information or to reviseand resubmit a portion of the portfolio. Theportfolio is evaluated for demonstrated college-levellearning by faculty with expertise inthe subject/discipline area(s). Successful portfoliosreceive 3 to 15 credits, with the maximumof 15 credits being awarded in exceptionalcases of outstanding documentation ofcollege-level learning achieved through longtermor professional-level experience in agiven field. Credits awarded through portfolioevaluation are recorded on the student’stranscript as “Prior Learning Credit” and maybe applied only toward the BLS degree.Evaluation of thePlan of StudyThe student will submit the Plan of Study(including the Prior Learning PortfolioAssessment if applicable), first to his/her facultyadvisor for approval. It will then be forwardedto the BLS committee composed ofthe student’s advisor, the Dean of Faculty, ifcoursework is sufficiently interdisciplinary,and one other faculty member chosen by thestudent. This additional faculty membershould represent a discipline in the student’sconcentration that is not represented by thestudent’s faculty advisor.Development and submission of the Planof Study should take place as early as possible.The Plan of Study should be submittedfor final committee approval before 70degree hours have been earned. Studentstransferring more than 70 degree hours tothe University of Maine at Presque Isle may,in certain cases, make special arrangementsto pursue the degree in consultation with theappropriate academic advisor. The Plan ofStudy, with approval, will become part ofthe student’s permanent record in the Officeof Students Records. ★North of Ordinary ✩ catalogue 2008-2009 ✩ university of maine at presque isle59
