1995-1996 Academic Catalog

36 Academic Information Summer School The College typically offers two summer terms. The first lasting five weeks from mid-June through mid-July. The second five-week term immediately precedes the start of classes in the fall. Other special sessions are occasion– ally offered. A student may earn up to teh quarter hours each term. Additionally, other summer course offerings are available at specifically designated times. The summer sessions appeal to a variety of students. Some wish to accelerate their college program. Students from other institutions may desire Bible courses which are not available at their institutions. Teachers find the summer terms convenient as a means by which to update themselves in their disciplines. Others enjoy the advan– tages of smaller summer classes. Incoming international students recognize summer attendance as an excellent opportunity to become acclimated to academic pursuits before campus activities begin in the fall. High school students who have completed their junior years ~nd who display sufficient academic strength may enroll m the Summer Studies Program. Some in this category who are children of graduates of the College may qualify for the popular Alumni Children Scholarship Program which provides tuition-free credit. Continuing students interested in attending summer school should contact the summer school office. New students should contact the Admissions Office.

Registration The dates of registration for each session are listed in the college academic calendar. Early registration periods may be designated for currently enrolled students. Students are urged to register on the days provided. Nominal late registration fees are charged for registering late. Students who register early must notify the Aca– demic Records Office if they do not return for the quarter for which they registered early. Registration materials are distributed through intracampus mail prior to respective registration periods. These materials include a Class Registration Form (CRF), registration instructions, and class schedule for the quarter. To register for courses, each student meets with an academic advisor to discuss career direction, course options, and class schedules. Although each student has an academic advisor to help with scheduling, the student is ultimately responsible for the chosen class schedule and course of study. Because of this, each student is encour– aged to be very familiar with the course requirements of his or her chosen major. To signify approval of the course selection for the upcoming quarter, the academic advisor signs the Class Registration Form. No Class Registratioh Forms can be accepted for registration without the signatures of the student's academic advisor and the student. Each student submits the Class Registration Form signed by the academic advisor to the Academic Records Office or designated registration station. Course selec– tions are checked against available openings and a final course schedule is confirmed.
