General Information
HISTORY
The same year Nebraska became a state, the new state l egislature provided for the establishment of a training school for teachers or normal schoo l at Peru. At that time only two other such institutions existed west of the Missouri River - one in Kansas and one in Ca liforni a . The school's beginning actua lly dates back to December 2, 1865, when its predecessor institution, Mount Vernon Col l ege, was organized by a group of early sett l ers who reso lv ed to place the school under the "care and management of the Methodist Episcopal Church . "
Colone l T. J . Majors, a l eader in the War between the States and a state legislator , proposed that the school be made the state university. Although the offer was rejected, the state l egislature on June 20, 1867, did accept the schoo l as a " normal schoo l " several months before the state university was established. For 38 years after the Peru schoo l became a normal school, it was the only teacher education institution in the state.
As Nebraska's population in creased, the le g islature provided for three other normal schoo l s - at Kearney i n 1905 , at Wayne in 1910, and at Chadron in 1911. The legislature extended the normal schools from two years to four in 1921, and authorized these institutions to grant the degrees of Bachelor of Arts in Education, Bachelor of Science in Educa, tion, and Bachelor of Fine Arts in Educat ion. At the same time, the names of the schoo l s were changed from State Normal Schools to State Teachers Co ll eges. In 1963 the name was changed to Peru State Co ll ege.
When the United States entered World War 11, the Co ll ege offered its staff and fac iliti es to the government for the training of officers for the armed forces. The first unit of men in the Navy V-12 program arrived on July 1, 1943. During the time the nearly 500 trainees received co ll ege training, the College operated an accelerated program for both civilian students and naval trainees. Since that time many of these trainees have used the hours of college credit earned at Peru for degree requirements at Peru, or other institutions of higher learning throughout the nation

FINANCIAL AID
The purpose of financial ass istance is to provide students with sufficient funds to meet al l costs of obtaining a co lle ge education beyond what they and their parents are able to provide Thus, financial aid enables many students from low and middle income families to attend co lle ge who could not otherwise afford that opportunity.
Any assistance granted is awarded according to the financial need of the applicant . (Financial need is the difference between the money a student and his parents can provide for an education and the costs of that education.) To be considered for assistance, the applicant must demonstrate financial need.
Financia l assistance to qualified applicants is available in the form of loans, grants, scholarships, and college work. A student who qualifies for one program of financial a id may not necessarily qualify for another
" Financial packaging" permits the Director of Financial Aid to tailor a program of financial ass ist ance to meet the monetary needs of the individual student for one academic year. A financial package i s worked out on the basis of a careful estimate of the app li cant's estimated resources and educational costs for the schoo l year.
A package usually consists of two or more types of aid and is equal to the student's financial need. A typical package, in which the need is $1000 might be as follows: Educational Opportunity Grant, $500; National Direct Loan, $350; and scholarship, $150.
Funds for the operation of the different financial aid programs are drawn from Federal and Institutional sources. Courses are approved for Veterans and other persons eligible for Veteran's benefits by the Nebraska State Department of Education .
FINANCIAL AID
APPL YING FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
Any student who needs financial assista nce , or desires to app ly for a scholarship, should contact the Director of Financial Aid. Students are advised to begin the application procedure well before the deadline date, because estab lishing financia l need is often a lengthy process. Applications for financial assistance for the coming year should be submitted to the Financial Aids office by April 15.
FEDERALLY FUNDED PROGRAMS
Basic Educational Opportunity Grant - BEOG. The Higher Education Amendments of 1972 established a Basic Educational Opportunity Grant. Qualifications, procedures, and funding for this program are uncertain; therefore, the program may not be operational for the 1973-74 academic year.
Supplementary Educational Opportunity Grants provide for the g ivin g of grants to students who are determined to be of exceptional financial need. Students in this category will be of such need that they will be unable to attend college without financial aid of this type
The SEOG amounts range from $200 to $1000 a year, and can be no more than one-half of the total assistance given a student. The grant is "matched" with other financial aid to meet the student's financial need. Grants are awarded on a yearly basis, with the maximum duration of a grant being four years

Specific courses are held to a minimum , with the intent that students should be encouraged to select those courses most appropriate to their educational needs.

CLASSIFICATION OF STUDENTS
College credit is expressed in terms of the semester hour, which represents the satisfactory completion of one hour of class attendance per week for one semester. The work may include any type of activity prescribed in the course - classroom work, preparation, laboratory or shop work , etc.
Students having earned less than 30 semester hours of credit are classified as freshmen; 30 to 59 hours as sophomores; 60 to 89 hours as juniors ; and 90 to 125 hours as seniors. Degree students earning additional undergraduate credit are classified as post graduate students.
ACAD EMIC LOAD
The normal class load for a full time student is 12 to 16 semester hours . The maximum load without special permission is 17 hours. Students with a grade point average of 7 00 for the previous semester may apply to the Registrar for one additional hour, making a total of 18. An excess of 18 hours must be approved by the Dean of the School. Students with a G. P.A. of less than 7.00 the previous semester must have the approval of the Dean of the School for an excess of 17 hours.
Veterans and other eligible persons attending this College under the benefits of Chapter 34 and 35, Title 38, U.S.C., as full time students must be enrolled for at least 12 semester hours , or the equivalent.
ATTENDANCE AND SCHOLASTIC ATTITUDE
Students are expected to attend classes regularly, arrive punctually, and do all assigned work in each class. The student agrees to this when he registers for a course. Attendance is a privilege and a responsibility represented not only by the student's investment, but also by a significant investment by the State .
Whenever absences or other elements of scholastic attitude reach the point of being detrimental (regardless of cause) to the student ' s standing in class and / or the success of the class as a whole, the instructor may confer with the student and advise the Vice President of Student Affairs. The instructor and the student may mutually agree that the registration in the course should be cancelled or the instructor may issue the
52 ACADEMIC INFORMATION
student a "scho l astic alert." Future conferences fo- the same or related reasons, most likely will result in the stu::Jent being dropped from the class . If the student requests, the Vice President of Student Affairs may be asked to participatE in the decision. The above is the only sanction as far as exc~ssive absences and / or other e lements of scho l ast i c att itude are concerned.
GRADING SYSTEM
A nine - point grading system is employed to evaluate the quality of the student's achievement.
Per c entage Marking to design ate fa ilur e and Grade Meaning Equivalents other irregularities:
9 Exceptional 95-100 X In comp l ete
8 Superior 90- 94 WP Authorized withd r awa l -
7 Very Good 85- 89 passing work at time

4 Low Av erage 70- 74 w Not graded
3 Below Average 65- 69 w Withdrawal - No t graded
2 Poor 60- 64
The grades in numbers i ndicate the value of each semester hour of credit and also become the means for ca lcu lating the student's grade po int average (GPA) t o compare with scholarship standards. Students are urged to ca lculate their own GPA from time to time and realize their own status. The following two exa mp l es will be valuab l e in understanding the ca lcul at ions:
Credit Grade Honor
Credit Grade Honor
GPA = 117 + 16 = 7.31
* Wh en cred it is ungraded, it i s not in c lud ed in divisor for GPA.
GPA = 37 + 15 = 2.47
(This GPA sub j ects the student to Probation.)
* This effects a lo wer GPA s in ce cred it va lue is part of divisor . If WP , the credit va lu e is not u sed.
In comp l ete (X) work may be completed and cleared through the in structor to earn a passin g mark, and this must b e done within the ne xt se_mester or the record will show F (Fai lin g).
SCHOLARSHIP STANDARDS
A candidate for a baccalaureate degree must earn at l east 125 semester hours with a minimum grade point average of 5.00. A minimum GPA of 5 .25 must be earned for degrees in Education. A candidate for the Associate of Arts degree must earn at l east 60 semester hours with a minimum grade point average of 5.00 .
A student to be in good standing academica lly must maintain the above required GPA for the respect iv e degree being pursued. A notice of unsatisfactory scholarship is forwarded to the student at the end of the semester if the appropriate GPA is not being maintained. The notic e is not a penalty, but a warning to notify the student that improvement i s needed. The notification will provide guidelines and recommendations to the student whereby positive action on the part.of the student can result in the attainment of the required minimum scholastic standard or other appropriate actions.
To provide addit ion a l inform at ion to students in regard to their academic work, grades are reviewed at the end of each nine weeks. A mid-term report for low or failing work is provided the student. A student receiving th is notification will be adv ised to confer with the instructor and his faculty advisor .
The grades of all st ud ents not meeting the required minimum GPA are reviewed by the Admissions and Standards Committee following the c lo se of each semester. If deemed appropriate by Committee action, a student can be placed on "academic probation," subject to academic suspension, if appropriate improvement is not maintained during the following semester. Ac ade mic suspension is usually for one semes-
ACADEMIC INFORMATION
ter, excluding summer sessions, after which time the student may app ly for readmission to the college . If a student believes there are exceptions to be noted in his case, he rTay appeal the suspension to the Admissions and Standards C,Jmmittee. The College a lso retains the right to suspend a student without first having placed the student on academ ic probation. In add it ion, suspension may be on a permanent basis.
HONORS COURSES

CHANGE IN REGI STRATION
The accuracy of each registration as related to class periods, sections, days and other possible conflicts i s the responsibility of the student. Also, the ultimate responsibil ity for the meeting of all requirements rests with the student. In the event a change in program is unavoidable following a registration , the student must secure the approva l of the advisor and the instructor. No courses may be added after two weeks . When app li cab l e, a refund will be made . A fee of $5.00 is collected for any change after the fifth day of c lasses.
