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 collegiate level. We believe a young person with ability and a willingness to work has an excellent opportunity for success at Peru State
This College believes in academic excellence, in opportunities for personal growth, and in student self-determination consistent with the principles of a democratically organized society. The administration recognizes that college students are adults and should be involved in the decisions made on campus which affect them. The educational experience provided by the College is designed to enable students to learn, equip themselves for meaningful careers, and become productive members of society.
Peru State students have an opportunity to know their teachers well and to become working partners with the staff and other students. To live with other young people in college residences offers many opportunities for friendship, and growth, and personal development.
The college faculty and staff are here to serve you. We welcome the opportunity to assist you in realizing your personal educational and career objectives.
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 "normal 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 ente r ed World War 11, 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 , th e legislature authorized the Nebraska State Colleges to confer the Bachelor of Arts degree. The Bachelor of Science degree was authorized in 1965 . Emerging from the role of a single-purpose teacher ' s college, t he College is now serving as a regional state college with many and diverse two and four - year programs in a wide variety of f i elds, serving to meet the changing higher education needs of people in southeast Nebraska .
The mission of Peru State College is to offer instruction in selected programs and courses of study ; to conduct research ; and to provide public service.
Instructional programs include teacher education, liberal arts, sciences, pre-professional curricula , occupational and continuing education
Research programs create new knowledge and provide a broader intellectual and factual basis for extended knowledge.
Public service activities enhance and promote effective living of the people served by the College through assisting in the solution of problems and in the development of increased skills.
The seat of Nebraska's oldest institution of higher education is historic Peru located in the hills along the Missouri River in the southeast corner of the state. The picturesque Nemaha County town is 62 miles south of Omaha and 75 miles southeast of Lincoln. Peru is served by Nebraska Highway 67, which intersects U.S. Highway 73 and 75 six miles west of Highway 136 six miles south of the campus. Auburn, county seat of Nemaha County, is five miles south, and Nebraska City, Otoe County seat, is 15 miles north of the junction of these highways. The Campus of a Thousand Oaks is approximately the same latitude as New York City and is about 150 miles east of the center of the Continental United States. About 80 per cent of Peru's students come from Nebraska, with adjacent states well represented. Students from more distant states are also enrolled at Peru.
Daily bus service to Omaha and Kansas City with connections in those cities to more distant points is available at Auburn, 12 miles from Peru. College transportation will be provided to and from Auburn at the beginning and end of semesters, summer sessions, and spring recess.

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.
"Financial 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: Pell 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.
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.
Pell Grant - Formerly Basic Educational Opportunity Grant. The Higher Education Amendments of 1980 changed the name Basic Educational Opportunity Grant to Pell 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.
1. Obtain a Financial Statement (either the ACT-Family Financial Statement or CSS-Financial Aid Form) from your high school counselor or the College Financial Aid Office.
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.
3. The center will process your application and return to you a threecopy "Student Eligibility Report," SER.
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 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
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."
Board of Trustee Scholarships. The Board of Trustees of the Nebraska State Colleges provides full tuition scholarships for current graduates of Nebraska High Schools who have demonstrated outstanding academic achievement.

Cooperative Graduate Program_ Peru State College and the University of Nebraska work cooperatively to offer t he 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 Educa.tion. 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 !·earning centers in our service a r ea.
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 institu t ions 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 , regi stration, 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 learni'ng 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. The Director serves as the off-campus student's advisor, regardless of major, until that student transfers to campus for the majority of courses being taken .
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. Most of the offerings are academic credit courses but there are also some non-credit courses and some CEU credit courses. The non-credit and CEU credit courses primarily deal with relicensi ng requirements, or with bringing consultants and/or specialists into an area which normally would have no access to them.
For specific listings of courses and their locations, a Continuing Education Schedule of Classes brochure is printed each fall, spring, and summer term. All courses are monitored for quality control in order to maintain a consistency with campus quality. The Continuing Education Division maintains offi.ces in the Education Building, and is staffed five days per week, 8:00 a m. to 5:00 p.m. Telephone 872-3815, extension 241 and 201.
Summer Session. A 10-week summer session is divided into two fiveweek terms which makes it possible for a student to earn a maximum of 12 semester hours of credit, six hours in each term. Courses are available which make it possible for a recent high school graduate to begin his post secondary education during the summer. Request for information concerni ng the summer session and summer school bulletin should be directed to the Director of Summer Sessions.

Freshmen Oto 29 credits
Sophomores 30 to 59 credits
Juniors 60 to 89 credits
Seniors 90 and over
Post Graduates: Students who have a bachelors degree or higher and are earning additional undergraduate credit.
A full time student is one who is enrolled for 12 hours or more during a semester. However, the normal class load for a student expecting to complete the bachelors degree within eight semesters (4 years) is 15 to 16 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 up to and including the 21st hour must be approved by the chairperson of the division in which the student is majoring. The maximum of 21 hours may 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.
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.
A nine-point grading system is employed to evaluate the quality of the student's achievement.
GPA = 117 + 16 = 7.31
GPA = 37 + 15 = 2.47 (This GPA
*When credited is graded passing , subjects the student to Probation.) but not given a number grade, it *Th is effects a lower GPA since is not included in computing GPA credit value is part of divisor.
The grades in numbers indicate the value of each semester hour of credit and also becomes the means of calculating the student's grade point average (GPA) to compare with scholarship standards. Students are urged to ca lculate their own GPA from time to t ime and realize their own status The following two examples will be valuable in understanding the calculations :
Incomplete (X) work may be completed and cleared through the instructor to earn a passing mark , and this must be done within the next semester whether the student is in attendance or not, or the record will show F (Failing)
A candidate for a baccalaureate degree must earn at least 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 least 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 failing work is provided the student. A student receiving this notification should confer with the instructor, his faculty advisor, and the Dean for Student Development.
A student to be in good standing academically 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 still 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 will be academically suspended
A student who has been academically suspended at the close of a semester may attend the subsequent summer session at Peru State If the appropriate cumulative GPA (4 . 00 or higher) is achieved the student may enroll for the next semester
Students suspended for academic or social reasons are to apply at the Office of Admissions for readmission.
Students readmitted following academic suspension must maintain an average of 5 . 0 or higher for all course work taken for t he term of re - entry and each following term until the required composite G P.A. of 4 00 has been achieved Failure to meet the above condition for a term will result in academic suspension A student who has been suspended twice is generally not considered for readmission .
At the end of each semester the Vice President of Academic Affairs publishes the Honor Roll , which includes the top ten percent (10%) of the students for that semester . Students must be enrolled for a minimum of 12 hours credit , have no incomplete grades for the term and must not have a "hold" on academic records
Graduation honors are conferred on bachelor's degree candidates who have earned a minimum of 60 hours in residence and associate degree candidates who have earned a minimum of 45 hours in residence.

The college maintains this center in Room 202 of the Education Building. Professional staff members are available to assist students and faculty members.
The accuracy of each registration as related to class periods, sections, days and other possible conflicts is the responsibility of the student. Also, the ultimate responsibility for the meeting of all requirements rests with the student.
