Message From the President Reverend Mark G. Zarling

Greetings in our Savior Jesus, the Giver of every good and perfect gift! Hmm ... Nieman Marcus catalog or MLC academic catalog? Which would you pick up first? For dreaming big about extraordinary gifts, most would choose Nieman Marcus, its glossy pages reflecting expensive excellence. Imagine receiving such a treasure - you'd be stunned at the value, astounded at the enormity of the giver's love. You don't see expensive excellence in the MLC catalog? I do, and I don't just mean the expense of a college education. The courses of study contained here are the tools through which God will stretch your mind and touch your soul. Imagine what a generous Savior wants to give you. He has poured gifts and talents upon each of you. But to each one of us grace has been given as Christ apportioned it. He has instilled an inquisitive intelligence, a passion for a particular field of study, an interest in trying something new. And he will use MLC as a fine jeweler, polishing your gifts, shaping you into a servant of the gospel, so that you may present that gospel, the pearl of great price, to others. God seeks to bring expensive excellence to his church - expensive, because you are bought at a price, excellence, because it is God who works in you to live and to act according to his good purpose. Imagine how God can use an English course to sharpen your ability to communicate the Word. Imagine how that geometry class can fill you with wonder at a Creator God who is not a God of disorder. Imagine - that Hebrew course will prepare you to listen to God speak in his inspired whisper. Imagine-that physical education course will help you marvel at your body, which is the temple of the Holy Spirit. Imagine - that history class will show you the hand of the One who controls all things, for God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over

everything for the church. Peruse this catalog, and dream big. Expensive excellence is captured on these pages - gifts from God, pathways to ministry. They are yours for the taking, that through you, God will bring his gift of life in Jesus to countless souls in classrooms and pulpits, in hallways and highways, here and around the world.

FINANCING

THE TRAINING MINISTRY

FOR

~ decision to enroll at Martin Luther College mvolves not only a willingness to serve one's Lord in an area of Christian ministry but also a commitment of time and money. To help students reach that goal of Christian ministry, Martin Luther College maintains a comprehensive financial aid program consisting of grants, loans, scholarships, and work study. A Family Responsibility The financial aid philosophy of both the federal government and Martin Luther College is that paying for a college education is primarily the responsibility of the student and his or her family. However, because student and family resources are not equal, MLC's financial aid program exists to help students. Synod Subsidy The Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod provides a subsidy for the operating costs of Martin Luther College which reduces the cost of education for each student and is a way the WELS supports its ministerial education students. Martin Luther College's tuition figure reflects this reduction; it does not appear on the student's financial statement or financial aid letter. Need-Based Financial Aid Much financial aid may be described as need-based; that is, a student's family financial resources are considered. Need-based financial aid requires a need analysis (see Application Deadlines). Allowances are made for family size, for other family members in college, and for special expenses and circumstances. The need analysis may not be a perfect measure of a family's ability to meet costs, but it does serve to compare student and family resources and helps to distribute financial aid equitably. Need as it relates to financial aid does not necessarily mean needy. Many students qualify for some form of need-based aid, and in the 2008-2009 academic year, 90% of the students at Martin Luther College received some form of financial aid. Unless a student applies for financial aid, no aid can be awarded.

Merit Based Financial Aid The college provides scholarship opportunities to incoming freshmen entering fall semester who were graduated high school the previous spring. Eligibility is determined by cumulative GPA and ACT score. Continuing students earn merit scholarships on the basis of cumulative GP A from the previous year. See MLC's FinancialAid Frequently Asked Questions bookletfor specific information. Grant and Scholarship Sources • Martin Luther College trust fund income and reserves • Synod special and budgetary funds for financial aid • Federal Pell Grant • Federal Academic Competitiveness Grant • Federal Supplementary Educational Opportunity Grant • Mirmesota State Grant Program for Minnesota students Loan Sources • Federal Perkins Loan • Federal Stafford Loan • Federal Parent Loans for Undergraduate Students (PLUS) • Minnesota Supplementary Educational Loan Fund (SELF) • Martin Luther College special loan funds Special Work Programs • On-campus jobs • Off-campus jobs • Federal Work Study Other Benefits Martin Luther College is certified for Veteran Benefits and Native American programs for students who qualify. Application Deadlines April IS, 2009, for August (fall semester) enrollment November 1, 2009, for January (spring semester) enrollment ./ Complete and file a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). This is the need analysis document which is used by all colleges. Martin Luther College's ID number is 002361. Students and parents can complete and submit a FAFSA on the Web by going to www.fafsa.ed.gov.

./ Complete and file a Martin Luther College Financial Aid Application. This form collects needed information, including special family expenses and circumstances, which may be used to make adjustments. The FAFSA may be filed right up to the end of the second semester, and it may be possible to get financial aid from federal programs late in the year. However, in order to be considered for Martin Luther College Grant Funds, both the FAFSA and the Martin Luther College Financial Aid Application must be filed by April 15, 2009, for the fall semester for the 2009-2010 academic year (November 1 for spring semester). Financial Aid Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy Federal regulations require Martin Luther College to establish satisfactory academic progress standards for student financial aid recipients. Martin Luther College's standards of Satisfactory Academic Progress measure a student's performance in the following three areas: completion rate, cumulative grade point average (GPA), and maximum time frame. The Financial Aid Office is responsible for ensuring that all students who receive federal, state, and institutional financial aid are meeting these standards. Progress is reviewed at the end of each semester. The Standards of Satisfactory Academic Progress apply for all financial assistance programs including Federal Pell Grant, Federal Perkins Loan, Federal Work-Study (FWS) Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG), Federal Family Education Loans (Stafford and PLUS), as well as assistance from the state and the institution. The only exceptions are Synod preparatory school tuition refunds and distance grants, which are based solely on being in attendance. 1. Cumulative GPA A student must achieve and maintain at least a minimum cumulative GPA according to the following chart in order to retain financial eligibility. • Following semester I 1.70 • Following semester II 1.BO • Following semester III 1.90 • Following semester IV 2.00 • Subsequent semesters 2.00 2. Maximum Time Frame A student is no longer eligible to receive financial aid once the student has been in full time attendance for more than 150% of the number of semesters normally required to complete the student's

program. A four-year program must be completed in twelve semesters. A five-year program must be completed in fifteen semesters. A two-year certificate program must be completed in six semesters. Students who attend less than full time will have the time of completion appropriately adjusted. 3. Completion Rate At the end of fall and spring semesters, a student's academic progress will be measured by comparing the number of attempted credit hours with the credit hours earned (i.e., received a grade of A, B, C, or D). This calculation includes any course for which the student has remained enrolled past the drop/add period. A student must earn 67 percent of credits attempted to maintain satisfactory academic progress. The following are considered in an evaluation of a student's satisfactory academic progress: • Withdrawn Courses: Under special circumstances a student may drop a course with the approval of the dean after the first two weeks of the semester and up to two weeks after midterm. The student's record then shows W for the dropped course and the dropped course is not counted in computing the student's grade point average. An unauthorized withdrawal from a class is recorded as an F. This F is counted in the grade point average. • Incomplete Courses: Incomplete grades are temporary grades given when a student doing otherwise acceptable work is unable to complete the course assignments for reasons acceptable to the instructor. A first semester incomplete must be converted to a permanent grade by mid-term of the second semester, a second semester incomplete by the end of the July summer session, and a summer session incomplete by mid-term of the first semester, or the permanent grade of F is recorded. • Pass/Fail Courses: Passing credits received for pass/fail courses are considered attempted and earned credits; failing grades in pass/fail courses are considered attempted but not earned. • Repeated Courses: Classes for failed courses that are repeated because they are required for graduation are eligible for financial aid. Repeated courses are included in the calculation of attempted and earned hours. A student is allowed to repeat a course only once. • Audit Courses: Audited courses are not considered credits attempted or earned.

• Remedial Courses: Remedial courses are included in the calculation of both attempted and earned hours. • Transfer Courses: Transfer credits do not count in the calculation of the GPA, but they are included in the calculation of both attempted and earned hours. • Change of Major Courses: If a student changes majors, the hours attempted under all courses of study are included in the calculation of attempted and earned hours.

• Other special, significant, or unusual circumstances Documentation verifying the situation may be requested. The Financial Aid Committee will consider the appeal and render a decision, which the Director of Financial Aid conveys to the student in writing. Denial of the appeal does not preclude a student from enrolling in subsequent semesters . Students will have their financial aid eligibility reinstated by the Financial Aid Office once all satisfactory academic progress standards are met.

4. Probation and Suspension Students who fail to achieve the cumulative GP A requirements for Satisfactory Academic Progress will be on probation and will receive financial aid one additional semester. The probationary semester is meant to inform the student of academic problems and provide for corrective action. Students who achieve the GPA requirement for the number of semesters attended following the probationary semester will no longer be on probation. Students who do not achieve the GPA requirement following the probationary semester will be suspended from receiving financial aid for the following semester or summer session or for as long as the student is not in good standing. The Director of Financial Aid will send a letter to the student explaining the status. A student will be granted only one probationary period.

6. Publicity Martin Luther College's Satisfactory Academic Progress policy is published in the college catalog. New students are informed about Martin Luther College's Satisfactory Academic Progress policy by information included in the MLC's " Financial Aid Frequently Asked Questions" booklet which is sent to all applicants by the Admissions Office. Award letters include information directing the student to the college's web address where the Satisfactory Academic Progress policy can be reviewed. During the week of fall midterm break, a notice is posted on the MLC Portal reminding all students of the college's Satisfactory Academic Progress policy and directing them to the complete policy posted on the intranet or to printed copies available in the Financial Aid Office.

5. Appeals and Reinstatement To appeal the financial aid suspension, a student must submit to the Financial Aid Office a signed and dated letter of appeal explaining why financial aid should not be suspended. Acceptable reasons for an appeal include the following:

Additional information about financial aid programs at Martin Luther College can be found in a separate financial aid brochure. Students who apply for admission to Martin Luther College will be sent a financial aid brochure and a financial aid application.

Students with Disabilities Martin Luther College complies with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 to serve students who have disabilities as defined by the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990. Students accepted for admission are considered capable of meeting academic standards if reasonable accommodations can be made for their disability. It is the responsibility of students to provide written notification of the nature of the disability and the need for accommodations. Students must also provide results of formal testing and/ or evaluation of the disability as well as historical documentation of having received accommodations in educational settings. The college may require additional testing or evaluation if the documentation is inadequate or older than three years with this cost borne by the student. Students file the notification of disability and the request for accommodations with the appropriate Academic Dean. The dean, student and instructor(s) confer to develop reasonable accommodations. Responsibilities of the student as well as accommodations are outlined in this plan. Accommodations are designed to meet the individual needs of students, but they do not compromise curricular goals, performance standards, or course content. If students do not agree with the accommodation plan, an appeal may be made to the Vice President for Academics whose decisions are final in all cases. Credit by Examination Students may request to test out of certain courses during the drop/add period. Requests are submitted to the chair of the division that offers the course. Ideally, the request should be made and the test taken before the semester begins. The deadline for requesting credit by examination is the last day of the drop/add period. Tests must be completed within one calendar week after the request is submitted. Each test may be taken only once. A $25 fee is charged for each test with the exception of MUSOOOlIntroduction to Music. Since this course does not apply for graduation credit, the exam is exempt from the $25 fee. A test grade of C or higher must be earned to receive credit for the course. A combined maximum of 30 credits earned by Advanced Placement testing or by this credit by examination policy may be applied to a degree program. A student cannot use credit by examination to earn credit for courses that were failed. The division chair, in consultation with the course instructor and the Academic Dean of the

student's program, shall have authority to grant or deny the student's request. Experiential Learning Credit An "experiential learning" experience is a previous learning experience in a classroom, on the job, in previous training, or through personal study that a student wishes to apply towards credit for a college course. The student must provide supporting documentation in the form of a portfolio. Three faculty members evaluate the portfolio for fulfillment of course objectives. Application forms may be obtained from the academic deans. A $50 non-refundable fee is charged for each application. College-Level Examination Program (CLEP) This College Board program allows students to earn college credit by demonstrating mastery of collegelevel material in introductory subjects. To determine if CLEP credits will apply to MLC requirements, students need to contact the Records Office. The passing score for most examinations is 50. Foreign language examinations may require higher passing scores. The MLC code for reporting scores is 6435. Transfer Credits Students who have completed coursework at other colleges are welcome to transfer credits from those previous undergraduate experiences. To qualify for transfer credit, courses must meet the following criteria. 1. They must be applicable to MLC degree requirements. 2. They must relate to a comparable MLC course, a rule of thumb being 2/3 similar material/ concepts. 3. They must carry a grade of C or higher. Applicability of transfer credits is re-evaluated when students change their program of study. Questions about transcript decisions are directed to the respective Academic Dean (education or preseminary). Appeals of transcript decisions are addressed to the Vice President for Academics. Foreign Language Testing and Placement Students completing two, three, or four years of foreign language in high school and desiring to continue that foreign language at Martin Luther College write a diagnostic test before beginning their studies, i.e., matriculating, at Martin Luther College. High school seniors who have submitted an application write the test in April/May of their

senior year; transfer students write the test during the summer prior to matriculation. The score determines their placement in the language. Students who score adequately may receive credit by examination. Enrollment at Other Institutions A student enrolled at Martin Luther College may take courses at other accredited institutions for transfer credit. Students should receive prior approval from their academic dean for courses they wish to take elsewhere. Enrollment concurrent with MLC's fall or spring semester at another institution is discouraged. A transfer course approval form is available online from the Records Office. Only courses with a C grade or better are accepted in transfer.

Academic Dean for Pre-Seminary Studies may grant exceptions to this policy. Withdrawals from Courses 1. Within the first two weeks of the semester and with the approval of their advisor and the Records Office, students may drop or add courses. 2.

With the approval of the dean, students may withdraw from a course after the first two weeks of the semester and up to two weeks after midterm. The dean will consult with the student's advisor and instructor before making a decision. For these courses the student's record shows Wand is not counted in computing the grade point average.

Any course withdrawal after the two weeks following midterm is an unauthorized withdrawal. An unauthorized withdrawal from a course is recorded as an F. This F is counted in the grade point average.

Potential implications of withdrawing from a course are (1) the student's program may need to be extended, (2) financial aid may be affected, (3) family insurance rates may be affected, and (4) the student, if still a dependent, may have a tax issue.

Cross Listed Courses Although cross-listed courses are able to fulfill requirements in two areas, they can only be applied to one graduation/ program requirement. Credit Load Normal course load at Martin Luther College is 1619 credits per semester. 1.

To be classified as full-time, a student must be enrolled in twelve credit hours or more. Parttime status students are enrolled in eleven credit hours or less. The maximum number of credits a student may take is 19 credits per semester (excluding early

field experiences, elective choir, band, piano, organ, voice, and instrument). 3.

A student enrolled in any program may be permitted to carry one additional course for credit or audit (an overload) if (1) he/she has a cumulative grade point average of 3.00 or better and (2) the number of credits taken in any given semester does not exceed 21 (excluding earlyfield

Withdrawals from the College 1. The student who needs to withdraw from college must first report to the Vice President for Student Life for instructions on procedures. Policies regarding withdrawal from courses apply to withdrawal from college. 2.

A student who withdraws from college after the first two weeks of the semester has W recorded for courses. See policy on Withdrawals from Courses.

If a student does not have a cumulative GP A of 3.00 or better and wishes to take an overload, the student may appeal the above policy in writing to the Vice President for Academics.

When a student does not follow official procedures in voluntarily withdrawing from the college, a note recording the unauthorized withdrawal is transcribed on the student's permanent record.

Pre-seminary students enrolling in a four-year degree program must carry a minimum of 14 credits per semester. Students may take any courses from the entire MLC curriculum to meet the 14 credits minimum. In special situations the

Students who withdraw from college and later apply for readmission must fulfill the graduation requirements that are in place at the time of readmission.

and Absences

1. Martin Luther College requires regular class attendance of all students. Repeated absences may result in a lowering grade or loss of credit.

The College places the responsibility for attendance on the student. 2.

The MLC Portal is used for recording student absences.

Students receive the attendance policy in the Student Handbook and in course syllabi.

Part-time student status is defined as 11 credits or less. A cumulative grade point average (GPA) applies to academic good standing requirements after a student's first 12 credits are earned. Semesters completed at other institutions are counted toward the minimum GP A requirements. Minimum GPA requirements: Sem. 1-1.70 Sem. III - 1.90 1.

For full-time students to be in good academic standing, both the semester and the cumulative GPA must meet the minimum GPA requirements above. For part-time students to be in good standing, the cumulative GPA must meet the minimum GPA requirements above. The semester GP A requirement applies only to full-time students.

Summer session students are limited to nine credits; therefore, all summer session students hold part-time status.

Review of Students At midterm and at the end of each semester the faculty reviews students' academic progress toward their degrees. As warranted, policies of academic notice, academic probation, academic exclusion, or advice to review continued enrollment may be applied. The faculty also reviews students' aptness for ministry - attitude, comportment, diligence, social skills, etc. As warranted, policies of formal expression of concern, formal review of aptness, and exclusion may be applied. Probation 1. A student on probation must become a student in good academic standing by the end of the next semester of attendance. A student who fails to gain this status is required to withdraw from college. Application for re-admittance is considered after a lapse of one semester. A student required to withdraw at the end of the second semester is ineligible to attend the subsequent summer session.

2. A student on probation discusses with his/her advisor the desirability of reducing the student's course load as an aid in regaining good standing. If the course load is reduced, consultation between the student and advisor and the advice of the dean determines the course(s) to be dropped. In the interest of the student as well as in the interest of maintaining proper academic standards, a student on probation also discusses with his/her advisor the extent of extracurricular activities and outside employment. Dismissal from College A student may be dismissed from college for academic reasons, disciplinary reasons, or lack of aptness for ministry.

Dismissals for Academic or Aptness Issues Grounds for dismissal: academic exclusion Policy: Students on academic probation for two consecutive semesters are dismissed from MLC. The policy of academic exclusion stands without the right of appeal. Students who are academically excluded may apply for re-admission after at least one semester away from MLC and will, if admitted, return on probation. A student who is academically

excluded a second time is no longer eligible for readmission. Grounds for dismissal: "told to discontinue" Policy: All advisors for education and staff ministry students meet twice a semester to review the academic progress and aptness for ministry of these students. Likewise, the advisors for pre-seminary students meet to review the academic progress and aptness for ministry of pre-seminary students. These meetings are held at midterm of each semester and at the conclusion of each semester. All advisors are faculty members. At these meetings the advisors may tell a student to discontinue enrollment for academic, attitude, behavior, comportment, or sociability reasons. This may occur even though the student is in good academic standing. A student" told to discontinue" may use the appealj grievance process as described below in the Student Appeal of Dismissal Decisions Process section. Grounds for dismissal: "lacks aptness for ministry" Policy: All advisors for education and staff ministry students meet twice a semester to review the academic progress and aptness for ministry of these students. Likewise, the advisors for pre-seminary students meet to review the academic progress and aptness for ministry of pre-seminary students. These meetings are held at midterm of each semester and at the conclusion of each semester. All advisors are faculty members. The faculty, meeting as advisors, may dismiss an academically eligible student for attitude, behavior, comportment, sociability, or diligence reasons. The judgment of the advisors may be that the student does not possess the skills necessary to serve in the ministry. A student who is dismissed because the student "lacks aptness for ministry" may use the appealj grievance process as described below in the Student Appeal of Dismissal Decisions Process section. Grounds for dismissal: Unsatisfactory progress or unacceptable performance during student teaching Policy: Due to issues of performance that may be detrimental to the welfare of students, and/ or the integrity of Martin Luther College's student teaching program, a student teacher may be dismissed prior to the end of any student teaching term. The decision to remove is a joint one made by the college supervising professor, the classroom teacher, and the Director of Clinical Experiences and is without appeal.

Students dismissed for unsatisfactory progress or unacceptable performance during student teaching do not have the right of appeal. Students who are dismissed before the end of the term are no longer students at Martin Luther College unless they participate in an alternate experience sanctioned and arranged by the Director of Clinical Experiences. The alternate experience receives audit status. Any student who has been dismissed before the end of anyone of the student teaching terms and wishes to student teach again must re-apply for student teaching through the regular process and will be granted or denied a second student teaching term by the Teacher Education Committee. The Teacher Education Committee's decision is final. A student who did not participate in an alternate experience and therefore is no longer a student at MLC must also re-apply for admission to Martin Luther College through the admissions process in addition to re-applying for student teaching. Dismissal for Disciplinary Reasons Notification: A written report of a student's violation is brought to the Vice President for Student Life. Reports of violations are generated by, but not limited to, dorm staff, faculty, and security personnel. Conference: The Vice President for Student Life or his designate notifies the student of the report that has been filed and schedules a conference with the student to discuss the report. The Vice President for Student Life or his designate and the student who has been charged may choose to have another person present during the conference. Dismissal: The Vice President for Student Life may in his discretion immediately dismiss a student upon his determination that such immediate dismissal is in the best interest of the safety or wellbeing of MLC students and/ or faculty. The Vice President for Student Life may in his discretion convene a panel of at least two faculty members and two Student Senate members to determine whether dismissal is warranted. In such cases, the decision to dismiss a student is made by the panel. Appeal: The student who is dismissed for disciplinary reasons may use the appeal/ grievance process as described below in the Student Appeal of Dismissal Decisions Process section.

Student Appeal of Dismissal Decisions Process Undergraduate students dismissed by M~~ fo,~ "told to discontinue" or "lacks aptness for mirustry herein may utilize this Student Appeal of Dismissal Decisions process. The general objective of an appeal is to bring new information that might not have been available or previously considered, to protest a procedural error or inconsistency in the appeal process, or to question the appropriateness of a decision. The appeal process/grievance procedure must be initiated within 10 calendar days after the dismissal decision is communicated to the student. The appeal must be made in writing on the Student Appeal/Grievance Form located on the MLC website (www.m1c-wels.edu). Appeals of dismissals for "told to discontinue," or "lacks aptness for ministry" will be considered by a panel consisting of the Vice President for Academics and at least one Academic Dean. Appeals for dismissals for disciplinary reasons will be considered by the Vice President for Enrollment Management. On the Students Appeal/Grievance Form, the student may request to present his or her appeal and supporting information in person. The request to appear in person will be granted or denied by the panel or Vice President for Enrollment Manag~me~t at their discretion. If an in-person presentation IS granted, it will be held at a time designated by the panel or Vice President for Enrollment Management, and the student may be accompanied by one other person. The student will be informed of the ~e~isio.n on the appeal in writing. The appeal deCISIOnIS final. Midterm Reports All first-year students, freshmen and transfers, receive midterm reports. Semester Examinations Semester examinations are given the last week of each semester. The examination schedule with policies and procedures is published before the beginning of each semester. Attendance for examinations is required. The Minneapolis-St. Paul airport is a two-hour drive from campus so students are advised to schedule flights at least four hours after their last examinations. If emergencies prevent attendance at any examination, permission for an absence is obtained from the Vice President for Student Life. After permission is obtained,

examinations are mailed to a proctor in the student's home area at a cost of $50 for each examination. Due to the need for exams to be returned in a timely manner, examinations are only mailed within the United States. Student Classification Students are classified at the beginning of each semester according to the total number of credits earned. Transfer students are classified according to the number of credits transferred into Martin Luther College. Freshmen Sophomore Junior Senior Fifth Year Senior

0-28 credits 29-63 credits 64-98 credits 99-135 credits 136+ credits

Advising The deans oversee the advising program at Martin Luther College. They maintain and make the college'S various program plans available to students. Each student receives an academic advisor. The deans oversee any reassigning of advisors that may take place in subsequent years. The advisor serves as a student's first point of contact at MLC, meeting both formally and informally with each student at various points throughout the academic year. Although advisors aid students in being aware and informed about academic policies and procedures, students ultimately bear the responsibility of finishing academic programs in the typical four or five years depending on their majores). Academic Integrity As a Christian community that draws its life from the gospel, Martin Luther College encourages its students to pursue academic excellence with honesty and respect for intellectual property. Because of its focus on ministerial training, MLC has an additional reason to emphasize academic integrity. It is one of many areas in which students are expected to demonstrate the faithfulness required of gospel ministers (1 Corinthians 4:1,2). Course syllabi remind students of the importance of academic integrity and indicate how instructors will deal with infractions. Failure to meet expectations in this area may result in dismissal from the college (d. Student Handbook). The procedure for academic dishonesty is as follows: 1.

Preliminary Step-Instructor determines the seriousness and possible level of sanction.

An entering transfer student or freshman who does not meet these requirementsshall remain ineligible until the student's cumulative grade point averages at Martin Luther College establish eligibility.

2. Notice Procedure-Instructor communicates with the student, asks for a response, and informs the student of the appeal process. The instructor informs the Academic Dean and the Vice President for Academics. 3.

Hearing-The student may appeal the sanction to the Vice President for Academics who arranges a hearing. The decision of the Vice President for Academics is final.

Eligibility for Extracurricular Activities 1. Eligibility to participate in extracurricular activities requires that the student's cumulative grade point average (GPA) must meet the GPA requirements for academic good standing. However, a full-time student is ineligible if the student achieves a semester GPA less than 1.50. Martin Luther College activities that require eligibility are • Intercollegiate Athletics (including managing) • Intramural Board • Cheerleading (male and female) and Dance Groups • Theatrical Productions (performance, direction, production) of the Forum, • Children's Theatre, Reader's Theater, Renaissance Faire, etc. • Extra-curricular Instrumental Groups (Jazz & Pep Bands) • Publications -- The Knight's Page and The

Incompletes An instructor issues the temporary grade I (Incomplete) when a student doing otherwise acceptable work is unable to complete the course assignments for reasons acceptable to the instructor. A first-semester Incomplete must be converted to a permanent grade by mid-term of the second semester, a second semester Incomplete by the end of the July summer session, and a summer session Incomplete by mid-term of the first semester, or the permanent grade is recorded as an F. Repetition of Courses 1. Credit in a failed course that is required for graduation is earned either by repeating the course or by successfully completing an approved substitute. 2.

A course may be repeated if a student desires to better his/her grade point average. Only the grade earned in repetition will be figured in the student's grade point average, but the original grade will remain on the record.

Courses taken to remove a failure or repeated to better the grade point average are taken only at Martin Luther College or, in extraordinary circumstances, through the college'S Continuing Education Office.

An entering transfer student or freshman who is a high school graduate with no previous fulltime college attendance shall be considered eligible for extracurricular activities provided that the student meets the following two academic requirements: a.

The entering student has a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.00 in a high school curriculum which offers at least 14 academic courses in the subject areas prescribed in the entrance requirements.

The entering student has a minimum composite score of 18 on the ACT assessment.

The academic standing of transfer students is determined by applying Martin Luther College's academic good standing standards to the grade point averages on the applicant's transcript.

Directed Study Under special circumstances a student at Martin Luther College may take a course by directed study. The Vice President for Academics approves all directed studies. Summer Session Martin Luther College offers a variety of courses each summer. Typically, the summer session consists of two three-week blocks, although some course offerings vary in length. Courses appear in various formats,--face to face, on and off campus, and online, and are offered for a variety of individuals-undergraduates, master's of education graduate students, in-service teachers, pastors, and

staff ministers. The Office of Continuing Education oversees the planning and implementation of summer session offerings. Audit 1. Students in good standing may register to audit courses if space is available with the consent of their advisors, the instructor of the class they wish to audit, and the Records Office. Full time students who pay full tuition may audit courses without charge. 2. Students with a grade point average less than 3.00 may not exceed nineteen credits (credit plus audit) per semester; students with a grade point average at 3.00 or above may not exceed 21 credits (credit plus audit) per semester. 3.

Part-time students may audit courses if space is available and if the instructor consents. The cost for part-time students is $100 per course or $75 per course for senior citizens (60 or older). Faculty, emeriti, and their spouses may audit courses without charge. An audit may be changed to a course being taken for credit during the first two weeks of the semester, provided the total number of credits does not exceed the 19 or 21lirnit listed above.

A course being taken for credit may be changed to audit during the first two weeks of the semester, provided the total number of credits does not exceed the 19 or 21 limit listed above.

Procedures for withdrawing from a course taken for audit are identical to those followed when withdrawing from a course taken for credit. Withdrawn audit courses will not appear on a transcript.

Attendance is required for an audit. Participation beyond attendance in class activities is at the instructor's discretion.

Change of Program MLC students who change their areas of study will have all courses re-evaluated and re-applied to determine applicability to their new areas of study. Honors 1. Honors List.

Graduation Requirements For All Degrees 1. The final thirty semester hours of credit must be earned at Martin Luther College. 2.

A minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.00 for the total number of courses taken at Martin Luther College is required.

A minimum 2.00 grade point average is required for the final semester/grading period of a program approved by the academic dean.

The student accepts full responsibility for meeting all requirements for graduation. Note: Education and Staff Ministry graduates also need to meet the requirements of their respective programs.

Graduation and Commencement Exercises Martin Luther College conducts commencement exercises in December and May. Full time and parttime degree-seeking students may participate in either exercise. Part-time certification students participate in the December exercise. Master's degree graduates participate in the May commencement exercise. In order to participate, students must fulfill the degree requirements and make application for graduation. Students completing their degree requirements in December are permitted to participate in the May commencement. Students who will satisfy degree requirements in the summer can participate in the May commencement but must register for summer classes prior to the May commencement. Diplomas for students who complete requirements during the summer will be dated July of that year and will be mailed at the conclusion of summer term. Students are responsible for applying for graduation. Applications are due in the Records Office by February 1 of the year preceding the student's graduation. This information is needed to conduct the student's graduation degree audit and to ensure that the student has the appropriate number of credits to graduate. Students are also responsible for notifying the Records Office if their anticipated

graduation date changes. Failure to apply for graduation may delay the student's graduation date. Transcripts A transcript request form is available online at the MLC website by accessing Academics, then Records Office. One free transcript is available to each student. A fee of $5.00 is charged for each subsequent transcript. Make checks payable to Martin Luther College. Address correspondence to Martin Luther College Records Office 1995 Luther Court New Ulm, MN 56073 Earning a Second Bachelor's Degree Students who have completed a first bachelor's degree either at Martin Luther College or at another institution may wish to complete a second degree at Martin Luther College. The Academic Deans determine the remaining requirements not met by the student's first degree. The final thirty credits must be earned at Martin Luther College. Writing Policy Because the college considers the ability to express oneself clearly, correctly, and responsibly in writing to be a necessity for college work and an essential characteristic of a Christian minister, it strives to teach and maintain good writing practices. Students are advised that grades on poorly written papers, regardless of the course, may be reduced because of the quality of the writing; in extreme cases, a failing grade may be given for this reason. Academic Policy Appeals and Concerns Students with academic policy concerns first consult the "person responsible" as that term is defined in the chart below, within 10 days after the adverse academic decision has been communicated to the student. Students may appeal the decision of the "person responsible" within 10 days after that decision has been communicated to the student. Such appeals must be made to the "person who decides appeal" as set forth in the chart below. All appeals must be in written letter format and presented to the "person who decides appeal." The student may use, but is not required to use, the Student Appeal/Crievance Form.

EDUCATION GeneralInformation for Early Childhood Education, Elementary Education and Secondary Education Majors MTH2001

Martin Luther College's teacher education programs are designed to prepare students for the teaching ministry and service in the schools and congregations of the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS). Students demonstrate a firm grounding in God's Word, demonstrate competency in planning, teaching, and evaluating lessons, and demonstrate the ability to create effective learning environments. Students also demonstrate a service attitude toward their students, their schools, and their congregations. Included within the education curriculum are music courses so that, as far as abilities permit, graduates may serve as organists and choir directors in congregations of the WELS.

PRE-SEMINARY

STUDIES

The pre-seminary curriculum at Martin Luther College prepares men to enroll at Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary. This course of study stresses foreign languages. Hebrew and Greek, required of all students, are the original languages of Scripture. A student selects a non-biblical language option from a menu of German, Latin, a German/Latin combination, Spanish, or another spoken language. Lutheran theologians did much of their writing in German and Latin, while Spanish is the primary language of a growing segment of the American population. A student may also fulfill the non-biblical language requirement with achievement in another living language. In addition, the curriculum includes a selective liberal arts emphasis, with special attention given to literature and history. Academic Credits Required for the Bachelor of Arts Degree Psychology/Philosophy English (including an area elective) Greek (including an area elective or GRK3001) Hebrew Non-biblical language option (student chooses one) German Latin Confessional Languages (German and Latin) Spanish Another spoken language Computer/Mathematics Music/Fine Arts Physical Education Religion Science History (including an area elective) Other Cultures Free Electives (four courses)

Students take either classical or koine Greek. The academic dean assigns entering students to classical or koine Greek on the basis of their high school record and their ACT predictive data. Koine Greek students have three free electives. Students in the confessional languages option will usually also have fewer free electives. Students may select a maximum of three free electives from one academic area. Total Credits required for graduation

132/133

A student enrolling in the Pre-Seminary Program with the entrance requirements and preferences listed in the admissions section can complete his program of study in four years. Most students can complete a degree program in four years even if they are lacking some of the preferred high school credits.

A Christian Community God created us to live together with him and with each other. In this world where sin separates and divides, we thank God for gathering us together as his people in Christ. God enables us to live together with each other in a Christian community and enjoy the blessings of worshiping, working, laughing, and even crying together. God gives us the opportunity, as a campus family, to encourage and admonish, forgive and befriend, help and assist one another. Common to all Christians is the struggle between the new man of faith and the old sinful nature. The new man wants to love God and people perfectly. The old Adam hates what is good and is completely selfish. God's Law uncovers and exposes sinful selfishness, and the Gospel of Jesus Christ covers, heals, and comforts with the message of forgiveness won by Christ. Moreover, God's gracious forgiveness provides the power for godly living, striving, and maturing. When hundreds of people share close quarters on our campus, opportunity abounds for selfishness to hurt and wound. But God the Holy Spirit uses his Word on our campus to turn us away from sin, turn us back to Christ in repentance and faith, and turn our hearts and hands toward others in love. Worship Martin Luther College plans its day around the worship of our Lord. Morning and evening chapel services provide our campus family with opportunities to gather together around the Word, to sing, to pray, and to praise God. Students also have the opportunity to attend worship services at one of the area WELS congregations. In addition, the faculty provides organized opportunities for small group Bible study. Class Attendance Martin Luther College expects students to attend their classes. The public ministry calls for faithfulness, and regular class attendance is one training ground for that important requirement. Illness and emergency, of course, may necessitate absence from class. The academic calendar specifies when classes are in session. Students and their parents and families are expected to follow the academic calendar, particularly when making travel arrangements and vacation plans. Travel arrangements should be made after the last examination date of the semester. Those who need to make use of the Minneapolis

airport should also become familiar with shuttle service times while making their flight reservations. Vacations Dormitories and the cafeteria open the weekend before the first class in fall and close on graduation day in spring. Facilities are normally closed during the longer Christmas and spring breaks and the shorter Thanksgiving and Easter recesses. Students are encouraged to travel home during these holiday recesses. Those who live farther from home are encouraged to spend the break at the home of a friend. Students and parents are often concerned about winter travel back to Martin Luther College after major vacation breaks. When winter weather causes travel concerns, students and parents are asked to check the MLC Portal (www.portal.mlc-wels.edu) for information concerning school closing, or phone the college information desk at 507-354-8221. Housing In general, college policy is that students live in the dormitories provided by our synod. Unmarried students live with a roommate in one of five residence halls operated by the college. If enrollment numbers are greater than dormitory capacities, then single students who are four or more years out of high school and have reached the age of twenty-one, may request an exemption from dormitory living, but the Vice-President for Student Life will make decisions regarding such requests. Married students arrange their own housing. The college provides a bed, mattress, desk, chair, dresser space, and wardrobe/ closet for each dormitory resident. Rooms are equipped with connections for phone, cable TV, and the campus computer network. Students provide towels, bed linens and blankets, phone, study lamps, and trash containers. Appliances and extra furniture may be brought into the dormitories with the approval of the dormitory supervisor. Some items require a fee or deposit. Before bringing items to campus, please contact the Vice-President for Student Life. Dormitories are locked at all times. Students access their dormitory using their ID card which utilizes RFID technology. Meals Dormitory students are required to participate in the meal plan offered by the college. Our cafeteria offers

continuous "7 AM to Midnight" service. While full entree items are available during traditional meal times, many other items are available at other times. Certain hot food items are also available from 7:30 PM until Midnight. Students with an ID can enter the cafeteria as often as their schedules permit. The cafeteria provides a variety of menu items and a number of specialty bars each day. Off-campus students may also purchase meals in the cafeteria. Financial Services Martin Luther College operates an automatic teller machine on campus. The ATM permits withdrawals, but no deposits. The school's receptionist cashes personal checks (up to $50 per day). Some local banks will cash personal checks for students who present proper identification and have an account with them. Health Services New students submit a physician's health evaluation and a profile of medical history on forms provided them by the college. Proof of immunization (Diphtherial Tetanus within the past 10 years, MMR, and Polio) is a legal requirement for campus residency. Martin Luther College requires that necessary medical and immunization forms be returned to the Admissions Office prior to a student's arrival on campus. An on-staff registered nurse meets the routine health needs of student. She holds regular hours oncampus each school day. New Ulm has a regional hospital and competent physicians in most fields. A student is responsible for the costs of off-campus care, which means carrying major medical insurance or being prepared to meet emergency medical costs should they occur. Martin Luther College carries accidental injury insurance to supplement a student's own primary coverage for injuries that occur on college property or in conjunction with school sanctioned activities. Intercollegiate athletes at Martin Luther College fall under the protection of NCAA coverage for catastrophic injury. Intercollegiate athletes must carry their own major medical insurance and must update their health records with a physical exam prior to their junior year. In general, students are strongly encouraged to carry major medical health insurance coverage.

Campus Living On its website, Martin Luther College publishes the Student Handbook that contains campus regulations and guidelines. Christian principles and courtesy form the necessary framework for day-to-day living on campus. By enrolling, each student declares a willingness to abide by both the letter and the spirit of these common-sense regulations. The college administration and elected student representatives work together to keep guidelines up-to-date and relevant. Fines may be levied and other penalties imposed when regulations are broken. In all cases the goal is to promote peace, harmony, and loving concern for others. The Holy Spirit works through the Word to make each believer more like Christ. When growth in Christian life is not apparent or when behavior calls into question a person's fitness or readiness for service in the public ministry, a student may be asked to leave school. Campus regulations reflect the concerns of our civil government. The Martin Luther College Governing Board has declared our campus to be drug- and alcohol-free. Martin Luther College has also established procedures to deal with sexual harassment. Racial prejudice is a form of lovelessness that the college family works with God's Word to eliminate. Student Government Each class selects its own officers and elects delegates to the Student Senate. Each of the five residence halls has a dormitory council elected by its own residents. The Student Senate is the student body's voice in matters affecting student life at MLC. Class officers attend to the specific concerns of each class. Dormitory councils address concerns of residential living. Marriage Students notify the Vice-President for Student Life when they are making plans for a marriage that will take place before graduation from Martin Luther College or prior to enrollment at Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary, or that may impact future assignment. The Vice-President for Student Life and the Campus Pastor counsel these students. Academic Counseling Each student is assigned a faculty member as an academic advisor. The advisor helps chart the path to graduation by tracking academic progress and assisting the student to choose appropriate courses. The advisor may also offer personal counseling or

direct the student to someone who can also help with non-academic concerns.

students must supply the college with a correct summer address.

Personal and Spiritual Counseling Students who serve as resident assistants provide peer counseling. Each floor or wing of a dormitory has one resident assistant. Each dormitory has an adult resident supervisor to whom a student may also turn. The Vice-President for Student Life is available for other concerns. The Martin Luther College Campus Pastor offers confidential spiritual counseling. A Christian counseling office in New Ulm, staffed by WELSjELS counselors, supplements the work of the Vice-President for Student Life and the Campus Pastor at their recommendation and referral.

Employment, Shopping, Service, Events, etc. The community of New Ulm offers part-time jobs to as many students as need them. Employment opportunities are posted regularly in the Luther Student Center in cooperation with Minnesota Job Service. Job opportunities are also listed on the Martin Luther College website and through an email notification service overseen by the Financial Aid Office.

Motor Vehicles A student may bring a motor vehicle to campus under the following conditions: • The vehicle must be covered with liability insurance. • The vehicle must be in safe operating condition. • The vehicle must be kept in operating condition throughout the year • The vehicle must be registered with the Student Life office (fees range from $40 to $80 per year). • The vehicle must be parked on campus in the lot assigned by the Student Life Office As a courtesy to our residential neighbors, parking on streets adjacent to campus is prohibited. Students who bring a vehicle agree to abide by motor vehicle regulations set by the college and the government. Because parking space on campus is limited, perhaps not all students wishing to bring vehicles to campus can be accommodated. Therefore, students must register for parking prior to bringing their vehicles to campus. Orientation And Registration Current students register for classes prior to the end of each school year. New students and incoming freshmen will be pre-registered before the beginning of the school year. The college welcomes new students and their parents to a few days of orientation at the beginning of the first semester. Matters such as room and roommate assignment, vehicle registration, parking, financial aid, and the initial payment of fees are handled by mail prior to arrival on campus. To facilitate these matters,

Students may shop for personal needs in New Ulm, nearby Mankato, or the Twin Cities. All three areas sponsor cultural and recreational activities. Vogel Recreational Facility Located just down the Center Street Hill below the college stands the Vogel Recreational Facility. Students, Faculty, and Staff may use some of the facilities for no charge by presenting a valid MLC ID card. The swimming pool, walkingj running track, gymnasium, and fitness center equipment may all be used. Rented facilities, like the racket ball courts, are not included in this program. Handicapped Accessibility Although most campus buildings were built prior to the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the American Disabilities Act of 1990, attempts are made to assist students and other personnel who have disabilities. The Wittenberg Collegiate Center (WCC), the Library building, and the Gymnasium have groundlevel wheel chair accessible entrances. The Library, Wittenberg Collegiate Center (WCC), Old Main, Luther Student Center (LSC), Concord and Summit dormitories are served by elevators. Concord and Augustana Halls have private handicap-accessible toilet, shower and laundry facilities. MLC attempts to eliminate any disadvantages and to create a sensitive learning environment for students with disabilities. Extra-Curricular Life Government: Students can participate in campus leadership opportunities such as Student Senate, dormitory councils, class offices, an intramural athletic board, ad hoc college committees, task forces, etc. Music and Dramatics: Student-led drama club, Forum, produces a fall musical, a winter play, reader's theater, outdoor classical theater in the

park, and a children's theater play. The MLC Music Division sponsors multiple performance choirs, bands, ensembles, jazz band, and hand bells. Publications: Students write, edit, and layout the school literary magazine, the Knight's Page, and a magazine featuring the translation of confessional Lutheran Latin and German material called Studium Excitare. Students are also asked to utilize their writing gifts by the Public Relations Office

Athletic Director also supervises the dance team and cheer leading squads. Athletics at Martin Luther College help to contribute to a positive overall college experience for students. Christian sportsmanship is just as important as participation and winning is never placed at odds with learning. Gender equity in sports is observed.

Social Events: Students participate in homecoming activities, snow carnival events, class events and outings, lyceums and cultural events, special interest clubs, and faculty-student gatherings. Service Clubs: Students can assist with campus life by joining audio-visual services, becoming recruitment hosts, serving as campus ambassadors, and participating in other college sponsored service activities. In addition, students are warmly encouraged to volunteer their time and energy in the community.

Athletics Martin Luther College offers a comprehensive intercollegiate athletic program for men and women. The college is associated with the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA Division III) and the Upper Midwest Athletic Conference (UMAC). Cross country, soccer, basketball, tennis, golf, and track and field are offered to both men and women. In addition, women compete in volleyball and softball, while men compete in football and baseball. Intramural competition is offered for both men and women in tennis, indoor soccer, basketball, volleyball, bowling, badminton, basketball, softball, and flag football. All students not participating in intercollegiate sports during the respective sport season are eligible to be a part of the intramural program. The program is operated through a student board under the guidance of the Athletic Director. The athletic program is under control of the faculty athletic committee with recommendations provided by a student athletic board. The Athletic Director supervises the activities and schedules all intercollegiate athletics and intramural events. The

MARTIN LUTHER COLLEGE SEAL The Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod's college for ministry bears the name of the great sixteenth century reformer, Martin Luther, whose ministry is an inspiration for all who aspire to the high calling of the public ministry today. The MLCcampus is located in the city of New Ulm in the state of Minnesota.

1995 MLC opened on July 1, 1995. MDCCCLXV/MDCCCLXXXIV MLC continues the service rendered to the WELS by Northwestern College of Watertown, Wisconsin (1865-1995), and by Dr. Martin Luther College of New Ulm, Minnesota (1884-1995). The Roman numerals on the seal are the founding dates of these two schools. Luther's Seal . MLC borrows from the seal of Dr. Luther. He wrote the following things about the items which MLC has appropriated for its seal: Cross: "A black cross within the heart reminds me that faith in Christ crucified saves me." Heart: "Although the cross is black, mortified and intended to cause pain, yet it does not change the color of the heart, does not destroy nature, i.e., does not kill, but keeps alive. The just shall live by faith!" Rose: "The heart is fixed upon the center of a white rose, to show that faith causes joy, consolation, and peace. The rose is white because white is the ideal color of all angels and blessed spirits." V-I- V-I- T: "The letters of the word VIVIT [Latin for 'he lives'] are written on the petals of the rose. Because Christ lives, I too shall live." MOTTO Below, supporting the seal, are words of Jesus from John 14:6, "I am the way [Latin: VIA], the truth [Latin: VERITAS], and the life [Latin: VITA]. COLORS Red, white, and black are the colors of MLC. Black: MLC trains young people to bring the true way of life to a world dying in darkness. White: The way is by grace alone. Truth is by Scripture alone. Life is by faith alone. These are the darknessdispelling gifts Jesus brings. Red: Red is the color of martyrs, Christ's faithful witnesses. MLC's mission is to send forth ministers of the gospel who proclaim but one way, but one truth, and but one life.
