An Introduction to Peru State College

Peru State is the oldest college in Nebraska and the third oldest teachertraining institution established west of the Missouri River Peru was founded the same year Nebraska became a state . For more than a century thousands of young people have crossed the Campus of a Thousand Oaks and have gone forth to become teachers and leaders in business and industry in Nebraska and throughout the nation

The people of Nebraska have made the facilities of this College available to students at a minimum of personal cost. The taxpayers of the state bear a major portion of the cost of college education to the students, exclusive of personal expenses.

Public institutions such as Peru State generally have an "open door " admission policy, i.e., admit graduates of accredited high schools . Peru State believes every young person is entitled to a chance to succeed at the colleg iate level. We believe a young person with ability and a willingness to work has an excellent opportunity for success at Peru State.

The same year Nebraska became a state, the new state legislature provided for the establishment of a training school for teachers or normal school at Peru At that time only two other such institutions existed west of the Missouri River-one in Kansas and one in California. The school ' s beginning actually dates back to December 2, 1865, when its predecessor institution, Mount Vernon College, was organized by a group of early settlers who resolved to place the school under the "care and management of the Methodist Episcopal Church."

Colonel T. J Majors , a leader 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 legislature on June 20, 1867, did accept the school as a "norma l school" several months before the state university was established. For 38 years after the Peru school became a normal school, it was the only teacher education institution in the state.

As Nebraska's population increased, the legislature provided for three other normal schools - at Kearney in 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 Education, and Bachelor of Fine Arts in Education At the same time, the names of the schools were changed from State Normal Schools to State Teachers Colleges In 1963 the name was changed to Peru State College

When the United States entered World War II , the College offered its staff and facilities 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 college 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.

In 1949, the legislature authorized the Nebraska State Colleges to confer the Bachelor of Arts degree The Bachelor of Science degree was authorized in 1965 . Emerg ing from the role of a single-purpose teacher's college, the College is now serving as a regional state college with many and diverse two and four - year programs in a wide variety of fields, serving to meet the changing higher education needs of people in southeast Nebraska .

FINANCIAL AID

The purpose of financial assistance is to provide students with sufficient funds to meet the costs of obtaining a college education beyond what they and their parents are expected to provide Thus, financial aid enables many students from low and middle income families to attend college who could not otherwise afford that opportunity .

Most 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

Financial assistance to qualified applicants is available in the form of loans, grants, scholarships, and college work. A student who qualified for one program of financial aid may not necessarily qualify for another.

"Fi nancial packaging" permits the Director of Financial Aid to tailor a program of financial assistance to meet the monetary needs of the individual student for one academic year. A financial package is worked out on the basis of a careful estimate of the applicant ' s estimated resources and educational costs for the year .

A package usually consists of two or more types of aid and normally is equal to the student's financial need. A typical package, in which the need is $2000 might be as follows : Basic Grant $1000 , National Direct Loan, $350; scholarship, $150; and College Work - Study, $500

Funds for the operation of the different financial aid programs are drawn from Federal and Institutional sources

APPLYING FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE

Any student who needs financial assistance , or desires to apply for a scholarship, should contact the Director of Financial Aid. Students are advised to begin the application procedure well before the deadline date , because establishing financial need is often a lengthy process. Applications for financial assistance for the coming year should be submitted to the Financial Aids office by April 1. A student is required to submit new application material each academic year.

FEDERALLY FUNDED PROGRAMS

Basic Educational Opportunity Grant - BEOG The Higher Education Amendments of 1972 established a Basic Educational Opportunity Grant. The size of the grant is determined after considering the cost of attending the college and the Student Eligibility Index. This Index is determined from a Financial Statement which is a part of the Application

PROCEDURES FROM B EOG

2 Complete the Financial Statement as per instructions indicating that your are applying for the BEOG by marking yes to Item 75 of the ACT Form or Item 83 of the CSS form Then mail the Form to the appropriate processing center

4. Present this SER to the College Financial Aid Office.

5. The Financial Aid Office, using guidelines established by the U.S. Office of Education , will determine the size of your grant.

6. The BEOG funds will then be distributed to you through the college .

Supplementary Educational Opportunity Grants provide for the giving 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 eight semesters.

FINANCIAL AID

Requirements for Maintaining Financial Eligibility Every student receiving financial assistance from any Federally funded and/or college Administered Financial Aid Program is required to maintain satisfactory academic standing and progress The standards for satisfactory academic standing are published under " scholarship standards " in the academic information section of this catalog. The standards for Satisfactory Academic Progress as defined for Financial Assistance are published in the "College Student Handbook" and in the "Financial Aids Student Handbook."

PROFESSIONAL SERVICES

Cooperative Graduate Program. Peru State College and the University of Nebraska work cooperatively to offer the Master's Degree in Elementary Education. Course work is taken on the Peru campus. The degree is granted through the University of Nebraska at Lincoln. Evening College Courses. The College makes available an on-campus evening program of course offerings beneficial in meeting the educational needs of students. On-campus evening classes are offered each semester. Continuing Education. The Continuing Education program is being developed via three primary trusts: (1) The external degree cooperative program with Southeast Community College , (2) an adult counseling service, and (3) individual credit and non - credit courses offered in approximately twelve learning centers in our service area

The external degree programs are offered on the Southeast Community College Beatrice and Fairbury campuses as a result of a cooperative agreement drawn up by the administrators of both institutions and approved by their governing boards . In compliance with the terms of this agreement, the academic administrators of both institutions have approved curricula leading to the Bachelor of Science Degree in Accounting and the Bachelor of Science Degree in Business Administration. Students may take as many as sixty-six hours of credit with Southeast Community College before transferring into the Peru State College program for the completion of their degrees Peru State College locates the remaining courses needed for the degrees on the Southeast campus , making use of both resident and adjunct faculty, so that students may complete the B S. Degree granted by Peru State College without actual residency on the Peru campus. However , students from those campuses are also offered the option of coming to the Peru campus if they so desire.

A Transfer Handbook has been compiled which serves as a guide for both student and advisor, listing the equivalencies of courses offered by both institutions and also listing the specific course requirements for each degree, as well as outlining the procedures for admission, registration, tuition and fees, and other matters relevant to acceptance into the program

The adult counseling service is provided by a team composed of the Director of Continuing Education, the Director of Placement , and the Dean for Student Development. Adult career counseling nights in various learning centers are advertised and adults talk with this team concerning career changes, career advancement , re-licensing and certification, career choices , academic procedures , and scheduling Adults are encouraged to contact the Director of Continuing Education at any time concerning academic advising.

ACADEMIC INFORMA T/ON

Individual learning centers are in a number of locations throughout our service area. Courses are offered in these centers in direct response to the needs of the people .

not be exceeded

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

The individual instructor may determine attendance requirements for his own classes and has the right to base a portion of the student's grade on attendance. These requirements will be presented to the class during the first week of the semester.

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. The instructor and the student may muturally agree that the registration in the course should be cancelled or the instructor may issue the student a "scholastic alert" Future conferences for the same or related reasons may result in the instructor dropping the student from the class. If the student requests, the Vice President of Academic Affairs may be asked to participate in the decision.

GRADING SYSTEM

A nine-point grading system is employed to e valuate the quality of the student's achievement.

Th e grades in numbers indicate the value of each semester hour of credit and a lso becomes the means of calculating the student 's grade point average (GPA) to compare with scholarship standards. Students are urged to calculate their own GPA from time to time and realize their own status. The following two examples will be valuable in understanding the ca l c ulation s:

ACADEMIC JNFORMA TJON

GPA - 117 + 16 - 7.31

GPA - 37 + 15 -2.47 (This GPA •w hen credited is ungrad ed, it i s not sub jects the student to Probation.) included in divisor for GPA.

·This effects a l ower GPA since cred it va l ue is part of divisor

Incomplete (X) work may be comp let ed and cleared through the i nstructor to earn a passing mark, and this must be done within the next semester whether the student i s in attendance or not , or the record will show F (Failing).

SCHOLARSHIP STANDARDS

A candidate for a baccalaureate degree must earn at least 125 semester hours with a mrn i mum grade point average of 5.00. A min i mum 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.

To provide early information 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 fail i ng work is provided the student. A student rece iving this notification should confer with the instructor, his faculty advisor, and the Dean for Student Development.

A student to be in good standing academica ll y must maintain the required GPA for the respective degree being pursued A notice of unsatisfactory scholarship is forwarded to the student by the Vice President of Academic Affairs at the end of the semester if the GPA is 4.0-4.99. The notice is not a penalty, but a warning to notify the student that improvement is needed.

Should a student's GPA be 2.00-3.99 at the end of the semester, the student is notified he is on academic probation for the next semester and will be subject to academic suspension if his GPA is sti ll under 4.0 at the end of the probationary semester. Academic suspension is generally for two semesters

If a student's GPA is below 2.00 at the end of any term, he wi ll be academically suspended.
