It is situated on State Highway 67 which intersects Federal Highway 73-75 six miles west of Peru, five miles north of Auburn and fifteen miles south of Nebraska City.

The Peru campus of one hundred acres of rolling oak-covered hills overlooks the Missouri River. In this setting seventeen buildings are conveniently and attractively arranged, interspersed with well-kept lawns, trees, shrubs, and gardens.

Summer school students have access to fully equipped laboratories, shops, studios, and library. The 70,000 volume library, completely remodeled and reoccupied in 1963, is fully air conditioned.

Peru State College Summer School

The Summer Program

It should be noted that the summer program 1.s divided into two five-week terms with registration possible for one or both terms, Courses--The course offerings are essentially the same as those given in the regular academic year. Many courses are repeated each summer while others for which the demand is small, are alternated and made available every second or third summer.

Advantages--St udents may continue their college work during the summer in order to shorten the time necessary to complete the requirements for a degree, High school graduates may apply for admission and plan to start their college work in the summer just as well as in the fall. Teachers may return or be admitted to earn sufficient credit to renew their certificates or to qualify for a higher level of certificate, Returning veterans may begin or continue their college study during the summer.

Credit--Students may enroll for the maximum of six (6) hours credit in each five week term--twelve (12) hours for both terms. No request for an over load can be honored.

Attendance--TherP should not have to be a specific policy as to attendance other than to emphasize that with the essential acceleration of course work in all classes during a summer term, it is imperative that students plan fo~ punctual attendance in all classes.

Admission

Students who have not previously matriculated and been enrolled in Peru State College and now wish to be admitted for their first college study or to advance their study on the basis of previous transfer record, must contact the Registrar's Office well in advance of the registration day, If admission means likely advancement to and completion of a degree at Peru State, it is 1.mportant to request and complete a formal application for admission supplemented by high school record and/or previous college record-official transcripts, Ad vi semen t as to these preliminaries will be shared upon early inquiry,

Medical and Audiometric Record

A medical report, inclusive of examination by a doctor, is required as part of admission. The form for this is included in the application for admission or may be requested separately in case of the student having previous cre dit in the college without this record, There is a six-year

Summer School

Peru State College

rule to he observed relative to this record which means that if the last record has been filed six or more years ago, the student is required to complete a new form. IJence, •. at the time of counseling and registration, this must he preceded by the brief audiometric test in the health center.

Full Ad11iss ion--High school graduates will receive full admission to freshman classification with a minimum of 160 hours (school semester hours) or 16 units from a four-year high school and the recommendation of the high school principal or superintendent. Although no specific distribution of the entrance units is necessary, it is recommended that at least half of the units earned represent work in English, foreign language, mathematics, natural science, and social science.

Conditional Admission--Students who have completed 150 hours (school semester hours) or 15 units, the equivalent of high school graduation, are admitted to freshman classification on the condition that their work proves satisfactory during the first year in college. Appropriate college cours e s may be recommended in fields where the student is deficient upon admission. Mature individuals who are not high school graduates but who are otherwise prepared and recommended for college work, may be admitted as special students. For this latter type of student there may be administered a college aptitude test and/or the General Education Development (GED) test in judging the individual's qualifi c ations for admission.

Advanced Standing- - Applicants for admission as transfer students must have each college send an official transcript to the Registrar for evaluation and as evidence of dismissal in good standing. Students seeking admission to Peru State while under probation, or being dismi s sed on account of unsatisfactory scholarship, or other reason, at the last college, will rate admission "on probation," if accepted at Peru State.

Admission To Teacher Education

Before the college permits a student into student teaching or recomnends him for a new certificate, the prospective teacher must be duly admitted to the Teacher Education Curriculum as provided at Peru State. This admission procedure includes application to Director of Student Teaching; having the requisites as to health, personality, character, scholarship; and being interviewed by a

Peru State College Summer School

conmittee. During the regular academic year this admission procedure should be anticipated before the end of a student's sophomore year.

Student Teaching or Seminar--An opportunity for student teaching or seminar in the summer programisessentially limited to students in elementary education. To be eligible for the seminar ( in addition to admission to the teacher education curriculum), the student must submit evidence of two years of successful teaching experience and completion of 45 semester hours of college work. One year of the two years of experience must have be en during the past five years, or two years within the past ten years. Application for student teaching or seminar in the s ummer program mu st be made to the Director of Student Teaching at Jeast three weeks prior to the official registration day. Only students advancing to a degree at Peru State can be considered and approved for registration in student teaching or seminar.

Certification For Teaching

All certificates and renewals of certificates in Nebraska are issued by the State Commissioner of Education upon recommendation or advisement of the college. It is ~ssentially the same as to certification in other states. All credits for provisional certificate renewals must apply toward fulfilling the requirements of the next higher certificate or a degree.

Approved Program of Studies

It is imperative that teachers seeking renewal of a certificate or a higher certificate, have a program of studies approved for this purpose. This usually means the same as having an academic progress sheet prepared in line with applica tion for admission if he also has previous college work for evaluation. The responsibility rests with the teacher to know certification requirements and to have and maintain an academic progress sheet on college work towards a degree .

Endorsement --At Peru State the responsi bility of approving or recommending qualified persons for certification, has been delegated to Administrative Council which passes on the applicant's academic and professj~nal qualificati~ns, and his ~haracter and competence as a teacher,, Alt appl ica nts should note that by meeting graduation scholasti~ requirements does not mean that one will be automatically recommended for certification. All applications for certification in the summer should be submitted in the Registrar's office at least two weeks prior to the end of either term of enrollment.
