To graduate, the candidate must:
It is the complete responsibility of upper division students to check their progress toward meeting all requirements for graduation. Students are urged to meet with their academic advisor regularly as they complete their program requirements. Note: The catalog in use when a student first enrolls at this University (as long as enrollment is continuous) will determine all specific graduation requirements. Consequently, the catalog should be retained and used as a guide in the event there are changes in the curriculum during the time the student is enrolled. Students who anticipate completing their degree program by the end of the Spring Semester must complete an application for graduation which is available from the Registrar on November 15 and are due in the Registrar’s Office by January 15. Applications must be submitted with the Graduation Fee in order to be considered for recommendation by the faculty to the Board of Trustees. A Late Fee will incur for each deadline missed. Graduation ceremonies are currently held once a year in May. Students will not be allowed to participate in commencement ceremonies until they have completed all coursework and met all financial obligations to the Institution. Those students who complete their coursework during the summer and fall semesters will have their diplomas and transcripts so dated and will participate in the following May commencement ceremonies. Laurel University is a member of the Evangelical Training Association (ETA) and offers the ETA Standard Training Course for those students whose major fulfills that requirement. Students who complete all the required work are awarded the teacher’s diploma on payment of ETA’s fee. The ETA program focuses on Christian education ministries within the local church. ACADEMIC HONORS
Cum Laude — 3.50 grade point average Magna Cum Laude — 3.70 grade point average Summa Cum Laude — 3.90 grade point average
While full-time status may be achieved by taking only 12 credit hours per semester, a student must average 16.5 hours per semester, 33 hours per year, to graduate with the minimum requirements within four years. Any course work over 18.5 hours per semester constitutes an “overload” and must be approved by the student’s advisor. CLASSIFICATION OF STUDENTS Undergraduate students are classified as freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors. These classifications are determined by the number of semester hours completed (including hours transferred from another institution). The classifications are as follows: Freshman- fewer than 30 hours completed Sophomore- between 30-60 hours completed Junior- between 60-90 hours completed Senior- at least 90 hours completed Ideally, students take courses in sequence based upon academic status. Upper division courses may be taken out of sequence with permission of the instructor. If a senior elects to take a lower level course (freshman/sophomore), additional work may be required at the discretion of the professor. SATISFACTORY ACADEMIC PROGRESS AND PROBATION Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) for Financial Aid Eligibility Both federal and state governments require each educational institution to define standards of progress for students seeking financial aid. All students who wish to qualify for financial aid while attending Laurel University will be assessed on criteria including minimum grade point average, minimum semester credit hour completion rate, and completion of a degree within a maximum time frame.
In this policy, “eligible for financial aid” means that a student meets the standards of the Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy for Financial Aid. A student must also meet all other financial aid requirements in order to receive financial aid. The Financial Aid Office measures SAP at the end of each academic term (Fall, Spring, and Summer). If the student meets the SAP Policy Criteria, they are eligible to receive federal student aid funds in the following semester of enrollment. If the student does not meet the SAP Policy, one of the following SAP Status designations will be assigned to the student. Please Note: If you are waiting for summer grades to update your SAP status and your financial aid eligibility, any fall aid will be delayed until summer grades are posted. Conditions for Meeting Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy
Minimum GPA
Percentage Completion Rate In order to meet the quantitative standard students must complete 67% of the hours registered for at the end of the drop/add period. Withdrawals, incompletes, repeated courses, failure grades, and transfer hours will count as attempted coursework. Please note: completion rates are not rounded up to meet progress. If a student has a completion rate of 66.666%, they are not meeting the minimum 67% federal requirement. Schedule adjustment, also known as drop/add, typically ends on the sixth (6) business day from the start date of the semester at 11:59 p.m. Maximum Timeframe to Complete a Degree The maximum allowable timeframe for receiving aid is equal to 150% of the length of your academic program. For example, if you are pursuing a Major that requires 127 credits for graduation, you would reach the maximum timeframe at 191 credits attempted. If you are a transfer student, your accepted transfer coursework will be counted in the maximum timeframe. You can repeat a course, but the credits will also be applied toward the maximum timeframe. Once the student reaches the maximum timeframe allowed the student will be ineligible to receive financial aid. All Unearned Credits Students attempting at least half-time level credits who earn no credits for the term will be placed on financial aid suspension and will not be permitted to receive financial aid in their next term. Break in enrollment When a student has a break in enrollment and is readmitted, the SAP status for prior terms will apply. For example, if a student is placed on financial aid suspension at the end of the Spring term, does not return in the Fall term, and is readmitted the next Spring term, the student will continue in a financial aid suspension status for that term. Failure to Meet Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) Below is a listing of SAP statuses and definitions:
Students on Probation/Appeal Approved status must:
Students on Academic Restriction status must meet with academic advisor to reevaluate appropriate program of study. ACADEMIC PROBATION An undergraduate student must meet both qualitative and quantitative standards to continue progressing towards graduation. Students who fail to earn a grade point average of 2.0 (qualitative standard) will be placed on academic probation for the following semester. A student placed on academic probation will be limited to no more than 12.5 semester hours of coursework while on probation. During that semester in which the student is on academic probation, the student must achieve a 2.0 grade point average. Failure to achieve a 2.0 grade point average while on academic probation will result in academic dismissal. Student admitted on probation or provisionally will have one semester to meet all official entrance requirements. If all entrance requirements are not met, provisionally-admitted students will not be allowed to continue taking classes until all official entrance requirements have been met. A veteran student who remains on academic probation for a second consecutive semester is considered making unsatisfactory progress for that semester. If after two (2) consecutive semesters, veteran students have failed to maintain minimum GPA requirements as stated in the catalog, VA education benefits will be terminated. Veteran students who have been dismissed for unsatisfactory progress will be reinstated only after they have met the above requirements for reinstatement; however, veteran students may resume receipt of benefits only after minimum GPA standards are met. ACADEMIC DISMISSAL Students who have been academically dismissed cannot enroll at Laurel University until one year after an academic dismissal. Students may petition the Academic Committee to return to the University. If approved, students will return with academic probation status. PETITIONS Students faced with situations or circumstances beyond their control and who find an academic policy or procedure impeding progress toward completing coursework or a degree may file an Academic Petition. Academic Petition forms are located in the Registrar’s Office and should be filed with the Undergraduate Academic Dean. Filing a petition does not guarantee a waiver of policy. The Academic Committee will give individual attention and consideration to each student’s request. Only requests of a serious nature will warrant a waiver of present academic policy. The decision of the Academic Committee is final. DROP/ADD A course can only be “dropped” during the official drop/add period. An academic drop occurs when you remove yourself from a course before or during Laurel University’s drop/add period. The drop/add period is five (5) business days from the beginning of the semester ending at 4:00 p.m. to edit a schedule prior to becoming official. There will be financial aid repercussions for this drop if you no longer meet aid qualifications. The course will not post on any unofficial or official transcripts and does not count as attempted credit. Failing to attend classes or notifying the instructor does not constitute dropping a course. Courses added will be charged according to the current Laurel University tuition rates. Students desiring to drop or add a class must submit a completed Drop/Add Form to their academic advisor prior to the end of the drop/add period. It is the students’ responsibility to secure the written consent of their academic advisor. Students should check with the Office of Financial Aid before dropping classes to determine how the drop may affect their financial aid. After the drop/add period, students may withdraw from a class as described under “Withdrawal”. WITHDRAWAL The student is responsible for following proper procedures if he/she needs to withdraw from a course or the institution. (Refer to Refund Policy in this catalog.) It is the student’s responsibility to secure the written consent of his/her academic advisor to withdraw. A “VWD” is indicated on the student’s transcript for courses from which the student has withdrawn prior to the mid-point of the course, which does not affect the student’s grade point average (GPA). If a student withdraws after the mid-point of the semester the withdrawal date is determined to be the last date of academic attendance as determined by the school from its attendance records. This date is used for all student who cease attendance, including those who do not return from an approved leave of absence or who take an unapproved leave of course. UNOFFICIAL WITHDRAWAL If a student does not officially withdraw from all classes but fails to earn a passing grade in at least one course, the institution assumes the student has “unofficially withdrawn,” unless it can be documented that the student completed the enrollment period. Students who are reported to have stopped attending all of their classes prior to the 60% point of the semester or whose professors report that they began attendance but cannot determine if the student stopped before the 60% point will be identified as students who “unofficially withdrew” from classes. In the case of an unofficial withdrawal, the school will determine the appropriate date of withdrawal to be that of the midpoint of the term, unless the student can document a different date. All students should be aware that withdrawing (either officially or unofficially) can adversely affect scholarships and grants for the next term of attendance. The Office of Financial Aid can provide guidance in those cases. Refund, repayment and withdrawal policies are subject to change, without notice, in order to comply with administrative and regulatory requirements. ADMINISTRATIVE WITHDRAWAL Students not engaging in academically related course work within five (5) calendar days after the start date of the semester will be administratively withdrawn from the course for non-attendance, which can adversely affect students’ eligibility for financial aid for that semester. Students not engaging in academically related course work for a period of 21 consecutive days or longer, and not requesting a withdrawal, will be subject to an administrative withdrawal for the course that includes a reduction and/or return of financial aid; students are then responsible for all resulting charges on their account. LEAVE OF ABSENCE The Leave of Absence policy allows students to take a leave from Laurel University for a period not to exceed 180 days within a 12-month period. During this 12 month period, undergraduate students are allowed to be readmitted to the College through the Academic Advising Center without having to reapply through the Office of Admission. Reasons students take a leave include: health issues, financial difficulties, familial obligations, and personal issues. To take a Leave of Absence, a student must report to their academic advisor to fill out the appropriate paperwork. Resident students who take a leave are required to vacate student housing immediately. Students considering taking a leave of absence are encouraged to talk with an academic advisor about options, the process of taking a Leave of Absence, and the procedure and timeline of applying for readmission and financial aid counselor.
If a student has not completed coursework by the last day of the course, he/she may make arrangements with the professor for a short extension. In such cases, a grade of “INC” (incomplete) is assigned to the student. The intent of an “INC” is not to enable a student to complete additional coursework in order to raise a deficient grade, but to allow the student extra time due to an event that kept the student away from his/her studies for a short period of time (Examples: Death in the family, Jury Duty, Auto accident, etc.) . The student is responsible to make arrangements with the professor for whatever action is needed to remove the “INC.” Students have fourteen (14) days from the end of the course to complete work for which they were given an extension by the Registrar. When course requirements are not met by the end of that fourteen (14) day period, the “INC” will be converted to an “F” and counted as hours attempted in computing the grade point average for the semester. There may be a small charge to cover the administrative costs for this extension. AUDIT TO CREDIT Audit students seeking to convert audited courses to credit hours must make that decision and inform the Registrar before the first scheduled class. Students must pay for and transfer audit to credit hours during the following semester. Students are not allowed to audit Distance Education courses. ACADEMIC ADVISING Every student has, from the beginning of his/her first year, an assigned faculty advisor with whom consultations concerning curriculum planning, course registration and other academic decisions must be made. Although the student is urged to make full use of the help the advisor can provide, the student is expected to read and understand the catalog and to accept the ultimate responsibility for the decisions made in his/her behalf while enrolled at Laurel University. GUARANTEES AND RESERVATION Laurel University guarantees that a student may graduate under the general education and his/her major field requirements as specified in the catalog in use at the time the student enters Laurel University, provided attendance is continuous, except for the summer months, and the student maintains full-time enrollment. Two exceptions may be noted:
In each situation, the interest of the student will be protected. The University reserves the right to withdraw courses with insufficient enrollment, add courses for which there is demand, upgrade programs, revise teaching and time assignments, regulate class size, adjust administrative procedures, and determine students’ competency levels and admissions prerequisites to classes and programs. ACADEMIC HONESTY It is assumed that students at Laurel University will endeavor to be honest and demonstrate high integrity in all matters pertaining to their college life. A lack of respect and integrity is evidenced by cheating, fabricating, plagiarizing, misuse of keys and facilities, removing books, defacing and altering property belonging to other students or faculty, and disruption of classes. Cheating is defined as intentionally using or attempting to use unauthorized materials, information, or study aids in any academic exercise. It is assumed that whatever is submitted by a student is the work of that student and is new work for that course. Fabrication is intentional and unauthorized falsification or invention of any information or citation in an academic exercise or form. Plagiarizing is intentionally or knowingly representing the words or ideas of another as one’s own in any academic exercise. Any student who assists another student with cheating will share the responsibility for the violation of University policy. Penalties may include restitution, an “F” on an individual paper or exam, loss of campus position or employment, an “F” in a course, disciplinary probation, and/or suspension. MAKE-UP WORK Any student who misses a pre-announced test or examination must make arrangements with the instructor if he/she wishes to make it up. The decision whether the student may make up the examination or not rests entirely on the discretion of the instructor. The student is responsible for initiating any request to make up work because of a class absence. The decision to assist the student with make-up work, including tests, in every case rests with the instructor. Under no circumstances will a grade be changed later than the semester following the end of a course. CLASS ATTENDANCE Because a Laurel University education assumes that significant learning takes place in the campus classroom and the virtual classroom (online), regular class attendance is required. Online courses generally require students to log on and make “significant contributions” 3-5 times per week.
An instructor may prescribe reasonable regulations and course requirements as he/she feels necessary in accordance with Laurel University policy. At the beginning of each semester, the instructor shall inform the students in his/her class of these special regulations. The instructor is expected to keep a record of student attendance for the Registrar’s Office. When a student has been absent for three (3) consecutive class periods, the instructor shall notify the Vice President for Academic Affairs, the Registrar, the Director of Financial Aid and the Director of Student Life. REGISTRATION All students are expected to register on the days designated by the University calendar and to begin classes on the first day of the designated semesters. Late registrants will be charged a forty-dollar ($40) late fee. The Registrar publishes a specific schedule of classes prior to the beginning of each semester. Students are urged to use the course offerings schedule available from their advisor to make tentative plans. In addition, students need to be aware of certain course requirements (e.g. prerequisites) that impact scheduling. FINAL EXAMS Students are required to take final examinations as specified in course syllabi. TRANSCRIPTS Only upon the student’s written request will the University release an official transcript or any other information from an academic record. The first official transcript will be released free of charge. A fee of $10.00 will be charged for each additional official transcript. The Transcript Request Form is available on the website, or by sending a request to Registrar, Laurel University, 1215 Eastchester Drive, High Point, NC 27265. Transferability always rests with the home institution. It is the student’s responsibility to check with the transfer institution in advance. Transcripts from other institutions contained in student files may not be copied or released to the student or another party. INDEBTEDNESS All indebtedness to the University must be satisfactorily settled before a diploma or official transcript of record will be issued. CHANGE IN ADDRESS It is the obligation of every student to notify the Registrar’s Office of any change in name or mailing address for grades and bills, or students can log onto www.abhe-solutions.com and make their own changes. FAMILY EDUCATION RIGHTS AND PRIVACY ACT (FERPA) The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), a Federal law, requires that Laurel University, with certain exceptions, obtain your written consent prior to the disclosure of personally identifiable information from your education records. However, Laurel University may disclose appropriately designated "directory information" without written consent, unless you have advised the University to the contrary in accordance with University procedures. The primary purpose of directory information is to allow Laurel University to include this type of information from your education records in certain school publications. Examples include:
Directory information, which is information that is generally not considered harmful or an invasion of privacy if released, can also be disclosed to outside organizations without a parent's prior written consent. Outside organizations include, but are not limited to, companies that manufacture class rings or publish yearbooks. If you do not want Laurel University to disclose directory information from your education records without your prior written consent, you must notify the Registrar in writing by the beginning of each semester. Laurel University has designated the following information as directory information:
