To Our Students
Lebanon Valley College offers you a broad-based education that assures
the flexibility and sensitivity required for a meaningful life and successful
leadership in the Twenty-first Century.
Through its focus on the concept of leadership and through its ennphasis on
theory and practice in all its programs, LVC will provide you with the under-
standing and the experiences necessary both to appreciate the qualities of
good leadership in a democratic society within a complex world and to
prepare you to take your place as a professional and community leader.
Welcome to Lebanon Valley College.
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
Lebanon Valley College affirms its Christian origins by maintaining affiliation
with the United Methodist Church and by recognizing the Christian faith as
the perspective for its policies. Both the Christian spirit, which encourages
the unhampered search for truth, and the academic program, which gives
form to the search for truth, combine to generate free and responsible
inquiry by students and faculty.
in accordance with the purposes of its founders, Lebanon Valley College
seeks to provide an atmosphere in which the student can respond creatively
to the contemporary world. Each person is encouraged (1) to develop a
genuine concern for cooperative living and community service; (2) to attain a
heightened sense of moral and spiritual values through a deepened aware-
ness of how people have thought of themselves in relation to nature, to
society, and to God; (3) to appreciate the close and unmistakable relationship
among rational thought, creative imagination, and moral commitment; and
(4) to deal candidly and intelligently with the past, the present, and the
future and their interrelationship.
The programs of the College are designed to provide a demanding as well as
a rewarding encounter with the means necessary to achieve the discovery of
self and society; consideration of humanity's most significant ideas and
accomplishments; development of logical thought and clear communication;
and practice in precise analysis and effective performance. The academic,
social, religious, and aesthetic experiences blend to create the atmosphere
of the College in a way that fosters enlivened curiosity, discipline of self, and
excitement about ideas that are the hallmark of the educated individual.
Lebanon Valley College, with approximately one thousand students and a
low student-faculty ratio, in giving life to the concept of liberal arts as
expressed in the preceding paragraphs has chosen to maintain an educa-
tional institution which is academically strong, guided by the Christian faith,
and small enough to give personal attention to all students.

13
ACADEMIC REGULATIONS AND
PROCEDURES
The rules of the College are designed to provide for proper regulation of the
academic community. The rules and regulations as stated in this bulletin are
announcements and in no way serve as a contract between the student and
the College. Attendance at the College is a privilege and not a right. The
student by his act of registration concedes to the College the right to require
his withdrawal any time deemed necessary to safeguard the ideals of schol-
arship and character, and to secure compliance with regulations. It is ex-
pected that the conduct of all campus citizens will conform to accepted
standards. All students are required to respond to communications sent by
any duly constituted authority of the College.
Degrees
Baccalaureate Degrees
Lebanon Valley College confers seven baccalaureate degrees. Candidates for
graduation must be recommended by the faculty and approved by the Board
of Trustees.
The Bachelor of Arts is conferred upon students who have completed the
requirements in the following major programs: English, foreign language,
French, general studies, German, history, music, philosophy, political science,
psychology, religion, sociology, Spanish and certain individualized majors.
The Bachelor of Science is conferred upon students who have completed the
requirements in the following major programs: accounting, actuarial science,
administration for health care professionals, administration for military
personnel, biochemistry, biology, chemistry, computer information systems,
computer science, cooperative engineering, cooperative forestry, economics,
elementary education, general studies, international business, management,
mathematics, music education, physics, psychobiology, social service and
certain individualized majors.
The Bachelor of Science in Chemistry, the Bachelor of Science in Medical
Technology, the Bachelor of Music, the Bachelor of Music in Sacred Music,
and the Bachelor of Music in Sound Recording Technology are conferred
upon students who have completed the requirements for the appropriate
major programs.
Associate Degrees
The College confers three associate degrees. Candidates for graduation must
be recommended by the faculty and approved by the Board of Trustees.
The Associate of Arts and the Associate of Science degrees are conferred
upon students who have completed the requirements in the general studies
program.
The Associate of Applied Science degree is conferred upon students who
have completed the requirements in the food service, hotel and travel
administration majors.
Privacy of Student Records
In accordance with the Family Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 the College
releases no student education records without written consent and request
of the student, or as prescribed by law.
A student has the right to inspect his or her educational records maintained
by the College. It is the student's responsibility to contact the appropriate
office of the College to make the necessary arrangements.
The College makes public such directory information as name, address,
telephone, date of birth, major field of study, degrees and awards received,
previous schools attended, participation in activities, and athletic information.
Credit Hours
A credit hour is the unit used to measure academic progress. Each course
has a credit designation approximately equal to the number of hours to be
spent in class each week. A course requiring three hours of class attendance
each week will carry three credit hours. Credit for laboratories is generally
awarded at one-half the regular rate.
Graduation Requirements
Candidates for a baccalaureate degree must obtain 1 22 credit hours. Credit
hours are accumulated in three separate categories: general education
requirements, major requirements, and electives.
Candidates for an associate degree must accumulate at least 60 credit hours,
including the coursework appropriate to their major program. Fifteen of the
last eighteen credit hours toward the degree must be in residence.
15
The general education program is that part of the curriculum that is shared
by all students in all majors. The nine areas of required courses reflect
45-49 credit hours.
The major programs each require at least 24 credit hours of coursework.
Electives are those courses selected by the student that reflect neither major
nor general education requirements.
Candidates for degrees must also take in residence 30 credit hours of the 36
taken immediately prior to graduation. Coursework taken in all of the
College's programs, plus those at University Center at Harrisburg, qualify as
work done in residence.
Advising Program
Each student has a faculty advisor whose role is to counsel about registration
procedures, course selections, academic requirements, and regulations. The
student is required to obtain the advisor's counsel and approval before
registration, withdrawal, election of pass/fail option, and/or change in
credit/audit status.
Academic Procedures
Arrangement of Schedules
Each student arranges a semester program of courses in consultation with,
and by approval of, his faculty advisor. Students already in attendance do
this during registration periods. New students accomplish this on orientation
days.
Limit of Hours
To be classified as full time, a student must take at least twelve credit hours
of work in a semester. Seventeen credit hours of academic work is the
maximum permitted without approval of the student's advisor and permis-
sion of the Registrar. Audited courses are counted in determining the course
load, but physical education, music organizations are not. To be permitted
to take more than 17 credits the student should have a cumulative grade
point average of 3.0 or higher, or be enrolled in the Honors Program, or be a
senior. Students will pay the prevailing tuition rate for each credit hour
beyond 17 (not counting physical education and music organizations).
Class Standing
Students are classified academically at the beginning of each year. Member-
ship in the sophomore, junior or senior classes is granted to students who
have earned a minimum of 28, 56, or 84 credit hours respectively.
16
Transfer Credit
A student applying for advanced standing after having attended another
accredited institution shall send an official transcript to the Dean of Admis-
sions. If requested, the student must provide copies of the appropriate
catalogs for the years of attendance at the other institution or institutions.
Credits are accepted for transfer provided the grades are C— (1 .7) or better
and the work is equivalent or similar to work offered at Lebanon Valley
College. Grades thus transferred count for credit hours only, not for quality
points.
A candidate for admission holding an associate degree from a regionally
accredited college can be admitted with full acceptance of coursework at
the previously attended institution. Coursework in the major field, however,
for which the applicant has received a D will not be counted toward fulfilling
the major requirement.
Because Lebanon Valley College is a liberal arts institution, consideration of
full acceptance of the associate degree will be granted with the understand-
ing that the candidate has followed a basic course of study compatible with
the curriculum and academic programs of the College and has been enrolled
in a transfer program.
In most instances the applicant may be expected to complete the baccalau-
reate degree within two years. However, when the requirements of a particu-
lar major field or the nature of the previous study demand additional work
beyond two years, the applicant will normally be notified at the time of
admission.
Discontinuance of Courses
The College reserves the right to withdraw or discontinue any course.
Registration and Preregistration
Students are required to register for courses on designated days of each
semester; these dates are listed in the official college calendar. Students who
register later than the designated times will be charged a fee. Students
desiring to register later than one week after the opening of the semester
will be admitted only by special permission of the Registrar.
Change of Registration
Change of registration, including pass/fail elections, changes of course hours
credit, changes from credit to audit and vice versa, must be approved by
signature of the advisor. In most instances registration for a course will not
be permitted after the course has been in session for one full week. With the
permission of the advisor, a student may withdraw from a course at any time
17
through the last day of semester classes (see grading policy). A fee is
charged for every change of course made at the student's request after
registration.
Auditing Courses
Students may register to audit courses with approval of the academic
advisor. Audited courses are counted in considering the course load relative
to limit of hours (overload). The regular tuition fee is charged to part-time
students. Neither grade nor credit is given either at the time the course is
audited or thereafter. A grade of AU (audit) will not be entered on the
student's permanent record card if the student seldom attended classes. A
change of registration from credit to audit or from audit to credit must be
accomplished by the end of the eighth week of semester classes.
Pass/Fail
After attaining sophomore standing (28 credit hours) a student may elect to
take up to two courses per semester and one per summer session on a
pass/fail basis; however, only six such courses can be counted toward grad-
uation requirements. No courses taken pass/fail may be used to meet either
general education, major course area requirements, or pre- or co-requisites
for classes. A student may select or cancel a pass/fail registration any time
during the first eight weeks of a semester.
Repetition of Courses
A student may repeat as often as desired, for a higher grade, a previously
taken course, subject to the following provisions: the course must have been
taken in all registrations on campus and/or in courses staffed by the College
at the University Center at Harrisburg. Semester hours credit are given only
once. The grade received each time taken is computed in the semester
grade point average. The higher or highest grade is used to compute the
cumulative grade point average. Each semeste; grade report will show hours
credit each time passed, but the total hours toward degree will be equal only
to the semester hours credit for the course. For a course previously passed
P/F, the grade received in the subsequent registration for regular grade is
the "higher grade." Each grade received remains on the permanent record
card and a notation is made thereon that the course has been repeated.
Concurrent Courses
A student enrolled for a degree at Lebanon Valley College may not carry
courses concurrently at any other institution or in Weekend College or the
University Center at Harrisburg without prior consent of his advisor and the
Registrar.
A student registered at Lebanon Valley College may not obtain credit for
courses taken during the summer in another college, including the University
Center at Harrisburg, unless such courses have prior approval of his advisor
and the Registrar.
Attendance Policy
Each student is responsible for knowing and meeting all requirements for
each course, including regular class attendance. At the opening of each
course the instructor shall clearly inform the students of class attendance
regulations. Violations of those regulations will make the student liable to
being dropped from the course. Upon the recommendation of the instructor
and the approval of the Registrar a grade of W will be assigned during the
first eight weeks of the semester, and an F will be assigned after that date.
In case of short absences from class the student shall speak directly with the
instructor. The student shall inform the Registrar only if the absence could
not be anticipated and extends for more than a week. The Registrar informs
the faculty of students who will be absent due to an official function of the
College.
Excused absences do not absolve students from the necessity of fulfilling all
course requirements.
Credit by Examination and Life Experience
Lebanon Valley College recognizes the ability of superior students to master
specific areas of study on their own initiative and provides programs to allow
these students the opportunity to gain credit. Any regularly matriculated
student, in an approved degree program, may earn a maximum of 30 credits
toward a bachelor's degree or a maximum of 1 5 credits toward an asso-
ciate's degree through non-traditional means (experiential credit, advanced
placement, CLEP, challenge examinations).
Academic Policy on Challenge Exams
Only the courses formally listed in the College curriculum may be challenged
for credit. Full-time students should request challenge examinations through
their academic advisors. Part-time students and those students enrolled
through the continuing education program should make application for chal-
lenge exams through the Continuing Education Office. All requests must be
approved by the Registrar and the chairperson of the department in which
the course is listed.
Challenge exams are considered to be comprehensive examinations in the
subject area and are graded Pass/Fail. The grading criteria for passing a
challenge exam will be determined by each department. A ""pass" indicates
19
that the credit is to be awarded. A failing grade on a challenge exam will not
be recorded on the permanent record. The exact nature of the examination
will be determined by the faculty member and chairperson of the depart-
ment involved and may include any means of evaluation normally employed
by the department. There is a fee for each challenge examination. This fee is
for preparation and grading of the examination and is charged without
regard to the test results.
Challenge exams may not be taken by students who have received any
grade in a course equivalent to or more advanced than the courses for which
the student is requesting credit by examination. Challenge exams may not
be used for the purpose of acquiring credit for a course previously failed.
Practicums, internships, seminars, research courses, independent study, and
courses with required laboratory components are not subject to credit by
examination.
Advanced Placement
Advanced Placement with credit in appropriate courses will be granted to
entering students who make scores of 4 or 5 on College Board Advanced
Placement examinations. For scores of 3, final determination is made by the
appropriate department.
Advanced Placement without credit may be granted on the basis of the
Achievement Tests of the College Board examinations or such other profi-
ciency tests as may be determined by the Registrar and by the chairman of
the department.
CLEP (College Level Examination Program)
Credit will be granted to those students who score well on CLEP examina-
tions that are approved by the College. To receive credit, a student must
score above the 50th percentile on the objective section and above a C, as
determined by the appropriate academic department, on the essay section.
A maximum of 6 credits will be awarded for each examination; of these
credits, only 3 may be applied to the general education requirements, in the
appropriate area. Credit is only granted to students who have matriculated
at Lebanon Valley College. Requests for CLEP credit must be approved by
the Registrar before the student has completed 30 credits in residence.
20
Credit for Life Experience
Lebanon Valley College provides for the awarding of undergraduate aca-
demic credit for knowledge acquired through non-academic experience in
areas where the College offers instruction. The experience should bear a
direct relation to the material taught in a course in the College curriculum
and should extend over a sufficient period to provide substantive knowledge
in the relevant area. Regularly matriculated students who, in approved
degree programs, believe they qualify for such credit may petition the appro-
priate department through their academic advisors. Students enrolled
through the continuing education program must petition through the Con-
tinuing Education Office. This petition must (1) detail the experience in
question, (2) provide appropriate supporting evidence, (3) note the equiva-
lent College course by department and number, and (4) state the number of
credit hours sought. The appropriate department will consult with the
academic advisor or the Continuing Education Office to determine the best
means (interview, examination, portfolio, etc.) for evaluating the experience.
Approval of experiential credit for full-time students must be made in writing
over the signatures of the academic advisor, the appropriate department
chairperson, and the Dean of the Faculty. Approval of experiential credit for
students enrolled through the continuing education program must be made
in writing over the signatures of the Dean of Continuing Education, the
appropriate department chairperson, and the Dean of the Faculty. The credit
will be recorded upon completion of the most recent semester in which the
student was enrolled for credit courses taken in residence. /
Experiential credit cannot exceed six credit hours in one academic year and
cannot exceed a maximum of twelve credit hours in the degree program. A
maximum of 30 credit hours toward a Bachelor's degree or a maximum of 1 5
credit hours toward an Associate's degree may be earned through non-tradi-
tional means (challenge exams, CLEP, advanced placement, experiential
credit). Grades will not be assigned to experiential credit.
Grading Systems and Grade Point Averages
Student work is graded A (distinguished performance), B (superior work), C
(satisfactory achievement), D (requirements and standards met at a minimum
level), F (course requirements not met). For each credit hour in a course in
which a student is graded A, he receives 4.0 quality points; A—, 3.7; B+, 3.3;
B, 3.0; B— , 2.7; and so on. F carries no credit or quality points, but grades of
F are used in calculating the grade point averages. The cumulative grade
21
point average is calculated by dividing the quality points by the credit hours
completed.
Candidates for a degree must obtain a cumulative grade point average of
1 .75, and a major grade point average of 2.0. Only grades in courses taken at
Lebanon Valley College, at the University Center in Harrisburg, or through
the Germantown Metropolitan Semester and the LVC-Washington Semester
programs are used to determine grade point averages.
A student may not take a course that has a prerequisite course he has failed.
In addition to the above grades the symbols 1, W, WP, and WF are used. I
indicates that the work is incomplete (certain required work postponed by
the student for substantial reason with the prior consent of the instructor),
but otherwise satisfactory. This work must be completed within the first
eight weeks of the next semester, or the I will be changed to an F. Appeals
for an extension of time must be presented to the Registrar by the first week
of the next semester. W indicates withdrawal from a course through the
eighth week of semester classes, in case of withdrawal from a course thereaf-
ter through the last day of semester classes, the symbol WP is used if the
work has been satisfactory, and WF if unsatisfactory. The grade of WF is
calculated as an F in the grade point averages. For physical education a grade
of either S (satisfactory) or U (unsatisfactory) is recorded.
Once a grade has been recorded it may not be changed without the approval
of the instructor and the Registrar. Students who feel the grade may be
inaccurate should contact the instructor at once, but in no case later than
the end of the semester following the course in question.
Academic and Graduation Honors

career in a variety of fields: teaching, diplomatic and governmental service,
foreign trade, business and social service. For many of these careers the
study of a foreign language is often combined with majors in other disciplines.
The Department encourages students to avail themselves of the College's
opportunities for foreign travel and study, including the International
Student Exchange Program.
DEGREE: For the student who majors in foreign language, French, German
or Spanish, the B.A. is offered.
MAJOR: A student may elect to major in one language or in foreign lan-
49
guages. A major in one language requires FL250 and 24 hours above the in-

Mathematical Sciences
The Department of Mathematical Sciences offers major programs in actuarial
science, computer information systems, computer science, and mathematics,
as well as a concentration in operations research. The major in mathematics
can be tailored to prepare the student for graduate school, secondary school
72
teaching, work in business or industry, or to dovetail with a second major in
another department.
A rigorous study of mathematics is the common foundation of the majors in
actuarial science, computer science and mathematics. The structure of the
required core courses allows each student complete flexibility in the choice
of one of the three majors, usually by the end of the second year of study.
The major in computer information systems substitutes an applications area,
of the students choice, in place of the strong mathematics core. A strong
effort is made not to differentiate among the students in the department by
majors.
The major in actuarial science is unique. Lebanon Valley College is the only
four-year college east of the Mississippi which offers courses specifically
designed to prepare for the first four examinations of the Society of Actuaries
and the Casualty Actuarial Society. Independent study offers the opportunity
to work towards Exam 5 of the Society of Actuaries.
The major programs in computer information systems and in computer
science implement the recommendations of the Association for Computing
Machinery and of the Data Processing Management Association. PASCAL,
BASIC-PLUS, FORTRAN and COBOL are taught and used in a broad range of
courses in scientific computing and in business applications of computer
methods. Other languages such as ADA, C, Forth, Lisp, and Prolog are
available. Particular emphasis is placed on microcomputers and on computer
graphics. The computer science laboratory is equipped with microcomputers,
including a PDP 1 1/23, and a z-1 58 with a 20 mega-byte hard disk, and
various other pieces of hardware including equipment with graphics capabil-
ity. A unique computer science lecture room facilitates presentation of the
various languages and computer techniques. Terminals are located in the
laboratory and the computer center, which operates a VAX and a PDP 1 1/84
for academic and administrative support. Other equipment is located
throughout the campus, including both terminals and microcomputers. A
college micro-computer lab includes Apple lie and IBM-PC microcomputers
as well as Zenith 1 50 microcomputers.

environment and to indicate the possible extent, as well as the limitations,
of our knowledge of the physical world. As the natural science dealing with
forces, motion, energy, heat, sound, light, electromagnetism, electronics,
atomic structure, and the structure and interaction of all matter, physics
underlies work in all other natural sciences as well as such applied sciences
as engineering.
The department offers comprehensive introductory courses for students
majoring in any of the natural sciences. Laboratory work is an integral part
of many physics courses and is designed to acquaint the student with the
experimental techniques and the measuring instruments appropriate to the
various areas of investigation.

Psychology
Psychology has as its objectives the understanding of people and the
fostering of their well-being. The study of psychology, therefore, may be an
important part of a liberal education as well as preparation for varied ca-
reers. Upon graduation, some psychology majors pursue graduate study in
clinical, experimental, or industrial psychology programs; others obtain
professional degrees in social work, medicine, business, education, and the
ministry; still others hold responsible positions that make use of their
training in industry, government, hospitals, and community agencies.
To assist students in selecting a program that fits their individual career
goals, the department has identified seven concentrations: clinical, counsel-
ing or school psychology, experimental psychology, human development,
industrial/organizational psychology, social psychology, psycho-biology, and
general psychology.
Students are also encouraged to pursue individual studies, which may
involve an experiment in the laboratory, the use of library sources, or obser-
vation in a school, agency, or other setting. Internships are available.
DEGREE: B.A. degree with a major in psychology.
MAJOR: Psychology 100, 120, 236, 343, and 443; three or four additional
courses in psychology are required, with different courses designated for dif-
ferent concentrations. The general concentration requires a minimum of 24
96
credits; all others require 27. Students with particular career goals or special
academic programs may request departmental approval to adjust major
requirements to individual needs.
