General Information

HISTORY

In 1867, the same year Nebraska became a state, the new state's 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 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 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 State for degree requirements at Peru State , 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. Emerging 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.

"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 but may not exceed the student's financial need. A financial aid package may include PELL Grant , National Direct Student Loan, College Work Study and Scholarships.

ACADEMIC 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".

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

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 Aid Index. This Index is determined from a Financial Statement which is a part of the Application.

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.

College Work-Study is intended primarily for students from low-income families and permits them to earn a part of their college expenses. During the time they are attending classes full time, the student can work a maximum of 15 hours per week. During vacation periods the students may be allowed to work 40 hours per week. Work-Study jobs are usually on-campus, and are vital to the efficient operation of the College.

National Direct Student Loans are low interest, long term loans made to students who need financial assistance in meeting educational expenses. To be eligible, the student must be in good standing and be registered as a half-time student.

Guaranteed Student Loans are loans which may be obtained through the commercial lending community. The student must be either from a family whose income is below $30,000 or who can demonstrate financial need.

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

General Agricultural Transfer Program. Peru State College and the College of Agriculture Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources at the University of Nebraska - Lincoln cooperate in offering a General Agricultural Comprehension Transfer Program. Under the terms of this agreement, identified students may take a limited number of agricultural courses through Peru State College for transfer to the College of Agr i culture at the University of Nebraska.

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 offers individual courses, programs of study and services within four broad categories :

(1) The external degree cooperative program with Southeast Community College and the external associate degree and baccalaureate program at Offutt Air Force Base , and the external teacher certification program at offutt ; (2) an adult counseling service ; (3) individual credit and non-credit courses offered in approximately twelve learning centers in our service area, and (4) a variety of residential wo r kships, seminars and courses offered in the Majors Hall Conference Center

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, and the Bachelor of Science Degree in Elementary Education . 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.

In cooperation with the Offutt Air Force Base Education Office, Peru State College offers a series of courses leading to the Associate of Arts degree in Early Childhood Education, the Bachelor of Technology degree, and Professional education courses leading to certification at both the elementary and secondary level. All courses needed for this associate degree are offered at Offutt Air Force Base by either Peru State College or other higher education institutions.

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, and other appropriate college personnel. 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. 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 the 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 nursing contact hour courses which primarily deal with relicensing requirements, or with bringing consultants and/or specialists into an area which normally would have no access to them.

The Majors Hall Residential Conference Center provides housing accommodations for adults participating in concentrated learning experiences on campus. Brochures describing these residential learning experiences are available from the Continuing Education office.

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 offices 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 or 201. For information about specific courses and/or registration, toll free numbers are provided for your convenience - (Nebr-800-742-4412) (out-of-state-800-2288811)

ACADEMIC INFORMA T/ON

ATTENDANCE AND SCHOLASTIC ATTITUDE

Students are expected to attend c lasses regularly, arrive punctua l ly, and do all assigned work in each class. The student agrees to this when he/ she registers for a course. Attendance is a privi l ege and a responsibility represented not on l y by the student's investment, but also by a significant investment by the State.

When it becomes necessary for a student to miss a class, he/she has the responsibility of notifying the instructor in advance of the absence whenever possible. The faculty member has the prerogative of allowing the student to make arrangements for make-up and completion of the work missed during the absence.

The instructor has the right to base a portion of the student's grade on attendance . An instructor must present his grading practices in writing to both students and to the appropriate div i sion chairman during the first week of each semester

FINAL TEST DATES - POLICY

No coach is to schedule regular games or events during the week of finals . The week of finals is defined as the last five days of classes for each semester.

Students participating in playoffs during test week are still subject to attendance po l icy of instructors.

SCHEDULING REGULATIONS - INTERSCHOLASTIC SPORTS

Scheduling of all interscholastic spor t s is to be done in accordance with approved regulations . Detailed copies of the regulations may be obtained from the Division Chairman of Physical Education or the Vice President.

GRADING SYSTEM

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

ACADEMIC /NFORMA TION

GPA = 37 + 15 = 2 47 (This GPA ·when credited is graded passing, subjects the student to Probation .) but not given a number grade, it •This effects a lower GPA since is

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 calculate their own GPA from time to time and realize their own status. The following two examp les 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 ne xt semester whether the student is in attendance or not, or the record will show F (Fai ling)

SCHOLARSHIP STANDARDS

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.

Suggested among these are those for prospective doctors, dentists , pharmacists, optometrists, nurses, veterinarians, lawyers, engineers, agriculturists, foresters, morticians, business executives, journalists and others. A student following a pre-professional program is urged to secure a bulletin from the institution to which he intends to transfer in order that specific requirements will be met. The various pre-professional programs are described under the appropriate school.

SEMI-PROFESSIONAL AND TERMINAL

Students who are unable to attend college four years or more and wish to prepare for vocations requiring less time in preparation will find a variety of educational opportunities in this College. There are increasing opportunities today for young people in the occupational area classified as semiprofessional. A student interested in an occupation i n the above classification should know the requirements of the particular professional or technical school to which he will transfer. It will then be possible for a counselor to assist him in making a parallel program of the required formal college courses. Examples are noted in the appropriate schools.
