AN INTRODUCTION TO PERU STATE COLLEGE

Peru State College was founded in 1867 as Nebraska's first college and was the third teacher educatio n institution established west of th e Missouri River. For more than a century, thousands of young people have crossed the Campus of a Thousand O aks to become teachers and leaders in Nebraska and throughout the nation.

The people of Nebraska have made the facilities of the College available to students at a minimum of personal cost. The ta>..'J)ayers of the state bear the major portion of the cost of ed ucating the College's students.

Peru State admits a ll graduates of accredited Nebraska high schools and qualified out-of-state students. The philosophy of the College is that each person is entitled to the opportunity to succeed at the collegiate level. All who have the ability and the willingness to work will have an excellent chance to succeed at P eru State.

The College believes in academ ic excellence, in opportunities for personal growth, and in student self-determination consistent with the principles of a democratic society. Administrative intent is to involve students in the decisions which affect them. The Coll ege's educational experience is design ed to enable students to learn, to equip themselves for mean ingful careers, and to be productive members of society. Peru State students have the opportunity to know their instructors well and to be working partners with the staff and other students. Living a nd working with other people offe rs many opportunities for friendship, growth, and personal development.

The College's faculty and staff are here to serve you. We welcome the oppo rtu n ity to assist you in realizing your personal, educational, and career objectives.

History

In 1867, the same year that N ebraska became a state, the new state' s legislature established a training school for teachers at Peru. Th e school actually began on December 2, 1865, when its predecessor, 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."

Co lonel T.J. Majors, a leader during the Civil War and a state legislator, proposed that the school be made into a state university. Although the offer was rejected, the sta te legislature on June 20, 1867, did accept th e school as a "normal school" several months before the state university was established. For the next 38 years, the Peru school was the only teacher education institution in the state.

As Nebraska's population increased, the legislature extended the normal schools from a two-year to a four-year institution and authorized them 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 name of the school was changed from State Normal School to State Teachers College. In 1963, Peru's name was changed to Peru State College. When the United States entered World War II, the College trained officers for the armed forces. The first unit of men in the Navy's V-12 program arrived on campus July 1, 1943. During that time nearly 500 servicemen received their training. The College operated an accelerated program for both civilian students and naval trainees. Since then, many of the trainees have used the hours of college credit they earned to complete their degrees 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 its role as a single-purpose teachers college, the College is now a regional state college offering a wide variety of programs to meet the changing needs of southeast Nebraska and beyond.

Philosophy

Peru State College is committed to the belief that all persons are endowed with potential which, if developed, will benefit both the individual and the society. Each person, who is exposed to the influences of the College, is encouraged to develop his or her potential as well as understand and appreciate the contributions of others.

Individual development can be accomplished through formal study and exposure to a variety of experiences both on and off campus. It is the result of the reasonable mastery of knowledge, acquisition of certain skills and techniques, appreciation and understanding of areas beyond narrow personal interests, and meaningful religious and social experiences .

Mission

Peru State College is a multi-purpose, state-assisted, regional institution offering a variety of educational opportunities to t he sn1dents of Nebraska and the nation. Founded in 1867 as Peru Normal School, the College is accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools and the National Council for Accreditation o f Teacher Education.

Peru State is committed to providing high quality instruction, personalized attention, and a supportive learning environment for students of diverse abilities. Its principal baccalaureate programs in teacher education, business, and the liberal arts and sciences are complimented by numerous preprofessional, occupational, and continuing education programs. A Masters degree in Education is also offered.

The College believes in a strong, coherent general education program designed to ensure that its graduates: I) can write, speak, and compute effectively, 2) are computer literate, 3) can think critically and independently, 4) are open to and have the capacity for change, 5) are prepared to assume their social and civic roles as leadei:s in an increasingly interdependent world, and 6) are equipped to pursue lives that are intellectually, et hically, aesthetically, and physically r ewarding.

Students are e ncouraged to participate in a balanced program of co-curricular activities. These group or individual activities include cultural, social, and physical pursuits which augment or support the instructional program, sustain tradition, and strengthen the college community.

The College is committed to continuing and enhancing its role as a center for regional development. Through its cultural, educational, research and public service efforts, Peru State assists other institutions and agencies in community and economic development for the benefit of all.

The program features emphasis on the improvement of classroom teaching, tbe use of technology in teaching and the strengthening of the foundations of educational practice. Further information may be secured by con tacting the Division of Education.

Developmental Studies Program

The Developmental Studies program is designed to assist students in reaching their educational objectives The program is concentrated fo three areas that most often impact student success: English composit ion, mathematics and reading.

Placement in Developmental Studies is through the Computer Placement Test (CPT) which is required of all students entering Peru State College with fewer than 30 hours of college work and ACT scores lower than 20 in Reading, 21 in sentenc.e composition and 21 in mathematics.

The courses are taught through the use of compute r-assisted instruction and through one-to-one interaction between the student and the instructor. Students must sign up for developmental courses based on the following criteria:

Reading - Students scoring below 65 on the reading comprehension portion of the CPT are required to enroll in English 070 Reading r.

English Com position - Students scoring below 75 on the sentence skill portion of the CPT are required to enroll in English 080 Composition . Math - Students scoring below 60 on either or both the arithmetic and elementary algebra portions of the CPT are required to enroll in Math 080 Arithmetic.

Peru State College offers developmental reading English 070 and 071, composition English 080 and 081, mathematics Math 080 and 081. Students failing to pass the post-test of the first course in the sequence are required to register for the second course. Passing of the post-test in English is a requirement for entry into the General Studies English cu r ricu lum. Passing the post-test in mathematics is a requirement for entry into the General Studies mathematics curriculum.

Students fai ling to pass the post-test in the English 081 or Math 081 will be counseled by the Vice President for Student Affairs concerning their chances for academic success. Upon the recommendation of the Vice President, the student may continue through independent study to pass the post-test. After the third opportunity, Peru State College will no longer be able to provide assistance in the developmental studies area.

ASSESSMENT AT PERU

Peru State's outcomes assessmen t model assesses the three primary components of college student development: Skills delivered in general education through writing across the curriculum and student portfolios; attitudes of students about the overall Peru experience, and knowledge of the discipline by all graduating seniors.

Skills

The foundation for the sophomore skill assessment is the objectives of Peru's General Studies program: that all Peru graduates can write, speak, and compute effectively; a re computer literate; ca n think critically and independently; are open to and have the capacity for change; are prepared to assume their social and civic roles as leaders in an increasingly interdependent world; and are equipped to pursue lives that are intellectually, ethically, aesthetically, and physically rewarding.

Faculty goals, Each general education faculty member (including adjunct and part-time) prepares a Statement of Goals and Objectives describing the intellectual processes, skills, habits of mind, attitudes, and scholarly procedure that he/she models and encourages in each general education cou rse and deems essential for a student to master for success in upper level courses.

Synoptic essay questions. The general education facu lty prepare wide-ranging essay questions based on general education goals that are given on the exams ( usually the final) in each general education class.

Focused portfolio, After faculty grade the work of students in th e gen eral education courses, the pages with the synoptic essay answers are placed in each student's focused portfolio, and retained by the student's advisor. During the student's second semester of the sophomo re year, two faculty members, one of whom is the student's advisor, examine the portfolio and prepare a written report of the student's mastery of liberal learning skills and capacity for upper-level wor k, as indicated by the contents of the portfolio . The advisor discusses the portfolio evaluation with the student prior to the student's preregistration for the following semester. The student may not preregister until the meeting has been held.

The student whose portfolio is judged unsatisfactory by the faculty/advisor panel must present a written plan for remediation to th e panel by th e end of the subsequent semester. The student may not preregister for a subsequent semester until the panel has approved the remediation plan.

Transfer or other students whose portfolios contain no materials may elect to have general education coursework completed during the following semester(s) for committee evaluation, or may seek from the appropriate faculty committee a waiver of the portfolio requirement.

At tit udes

Assessing student academic and intellectual development is primary and necessary but not sufficient. Tapping st udent attitudes and generally assaying the student experience gives information about the environment in which student learning takes place and identifies strengths and weaknesses in services, facilities, programs, and personnel. The student experience is assessed both qualitatively and quantitatively. All graduating seniors are exit-interviewed by Student Affairs staff and vo lunteer faculty. Also, a survey is administered to a sample of students during the spring of odd-numbered years. Results of these interviews and surveys annually are collected, analyzed, and distributed to faculty, staff~ and st ud ents and incorporated into college planning activities.

Knowledge

Each discipline in which a degree is awarded shall have a demonstration of senior competency. The appropriate faculty committee determines if a proposed competency plan meets "expected level of competency" set by faculty in that discipline to include command of the knowledge base and methodology fo r the major and competency in liberal learning sk ills. Competencies include: student teaching, capstone courses (e.g. , Business Policy and Experimental Biology), the senior art show and the senior re c it a l.

ACADEMIC POLICIES AND PROCEDURES

Academic Credit

How to Determine Credit

Peru State credit is expressed as semester credit hours. One credit hour is awarded to a student who satisfactorily completes (1) a course that meets one hour per week for a semester, or (2) a laboratory that meets for two hours per week for a semester, or (3) a laboratory that meets for three hours per week for a semester, or any combination of these depending upon the type of instruction and material covered in the course. Credit for internships, student teaching, and ot her instruc ti onal formats is determined u sing other appropriate standar ds.

Transfer

Peru State College accep ts credit hours successfully comple t ed at other accredited colleges and universities provided they are repo r ted on the official transcript of each previously attended institu t ion and in credit hou rs. This policy also app lies to Peru State College students who earn credits on an in terim basis at another college and provided t hey have the prior approval of the approp ri ate Division Chairperson. The required forms for reporting transfer credits a r e available at the Registrar 's Office.

Armed Services

Veterans of the armed forces who are honorably discharged and cur r ent act ive duty personnel will generally be granted credit for their military experience in accordance with t he recommendations of the American Council on Education. Air F orce records should be obtained from the Counci l on Education. Army records should be obtained from the Army/ American Council o n Education R egistry Transcript System (AARTS).

Extra-institutional

Students may earn college credit for experiences a nd accomplishments attained outside of the normal college setting. C r edit may be granted through standardized examination programs or the cre dit recommendations of the Guide to the Ev aluation of Educational Experiences in the Armed Service s and The National Guide to Educational Credit for Training Programs. The College' s general policy for awarding credit for extra-institutional learning is:

1. Only individuals who have not participated in sche duled coursework are eligible to receive extra- insti tu tional c redit.

2. Extra-institutional credits are considered transfer credits and are subject to the same policies as other transfer credits.

3. A maximum of 66 semester credit hours earned through extra-institutional validation may be applied to the 125 semester hour minimum required for a bachelor's degree, unless otherwise specified.

4. Credit examinations may be earned on ly once in a single subject. A similar subject test in a nother testing program will not earn additional credits.

Institutiona l Examinations

Students, due to experience and/or personal improvement, may qualify for credit in lower division courses through the procedure of an interview a nd a written examination provided the examination is made available by the respective aca demi c divisions. The student must, through an interview, satisfy a faculty committee that he/she has had a formal or informal experience in which the course content may have been met before the student will be given a written comprehensive examination. The amount of credit to be allowed, the course for which substitution, if any, is made, and the particular graduation requirements which may be satisfied, will be determined by the chair of the division and will be subject to all general graduation requirements. The student must register for the course and pay the tuition charges before writing the examinations. The letter grade received is recorded on the student's transcript.

Standard ized Examination

Students may earn credit through several standardized examination programs. Credits earned from the CLEP subject exam only (College Level Examination Program), DANTES (Defense Activity Nontraditional Education Support), PEP (Proficiency Examination Program), and Advanced Pl acement Program can satisfy certain Peru State degree requirements. Students should contact the Office of Cooperative Education and Career Services for specific information about the College's regulations and procedures for sta ndardized examinations.

High School/Early Entry

In high schools where Peru State bas a formal early e ntry agreement, the principal will decide which students are qualified to t ake college courses. High school students who have not completed their junior year and wish to enroll in a Peru State credit course must have the recommendation of their principal and the approval of the College's Vice President for Academic Affairs before en rollin g

Any high school student approved to register for a college credit course will have the appropriate information compiled on a college transcript.

Correspondence Courses

Peru State does not offer correspondence courses, but is a correspondence testing center. Inquiries about testing should be directed to t he Office of Continuing Education.

Variable Credit Courses

The credit hours to be earned and the coursework to be completed are determined at the time of registration. Students do not have the option of reducing or increasing credit hours or coursework after the free add/drop period at the beginning of the term.

Repeat Courses

Students may and are urged to repeat courses they have failed. The initial course title and F grade are not removed from t he student's permanent record, but the repeat grade is used to determine the new grade point average. There may also be occasfons when students repeat a course for r~view on an audit basis without a change of grade.

If students repeat a course they have passed, the higher grade is used to compute the grade point average. It is the student's responsibility to report all repeated courses when registering for the courses. Tuition and fees are paid for repeated courses, but additional credit hours are not earned.

Audit

Registration to audit a course implies no credit. The student pays the regular tuition and fee cha rges but is not required to write tests, e~aminations, and/or papers. No grade is given in audited courses nor can credit be given at a later date.

Incomplete Coursework

To designate a student's work in a course as incomplete at the end of a term , instructors record the incomplete grade (X). Students may receive this grade, however, only when serious illness, hardship, death in the immediate family, or military service during the semester in which they are registered prevents them from completing course requirements. In addition, to receive an incomplete, a student must have completed a majority of the course's major requirements. _

Unless extenuating circumstances dictate otherwise, students must ini ti ate requests for an incomplete by filling out an Incomplete Grade Completion Contract, which requires the student and faculty signature. The faculty member will record an incomplete (X) on the end-of-the-semester grade sheet.

The Incomplete Grade Completion Contract cites the reason(s) for the incomplete and details the specific obligations the student must meet to

change the incomplete to a letter grade. If students agree to complete required work prior to the normal dead li ne for making up an incompletethe end of the subsequent semester -this date must appear in the contract. The division chair, the instructor, and the student receive signed copies of th e Incomplete Grade Completion Contract.

Even if the student does not attend Peru State College, a ll incomplete course work must be finished by the end of the subsequent semester. Unless the appropriate faculty committee approves an extension, if the student does not fulfi ll contract obligations in the allotted time, t he incomplete grade automatically becomes an F. Students who have filed an application for grad uation are not eligible for a grade of incomplete.

Classification o f Student s

Students are classified according to the number of semester credit hours earned:

Freshman Sophomore Junior Senior

0 to 29 c redits

30 to 5·9 credits

60 to 89 credits

90 and over

Post-graduate students have earned a bachelor's degree or higher and are earning additional undergraduate credit. Non-degree students are qualified persons who are enrolled primarily to satisfy an occupational need or personal interest.

Academ ic Progress Sheet

An academic progress sheet guides and records a student's progress to graduation and is maintained by the Registrar. The progress sheets are normally issued during the second semester of attendance for freshmen; transfer students' sheets are initiated as soon as possible following full admission to the College.

Full -Time Stu de nt Status

Peru State ·students who are enrolled for 12 credit hours or more during a semester are considered full-time students. However, the norma l course load for a student who ex'Pects to complete a bachelor's degree within eight semesters (4 years) is 15-16 hours. The maximum load without special permission is 17 hours; more than 17 hours requires the approval of the chair of the division in which the student is majoring. The Registrar may approve 18 credit hours provided the student obtained a minimum 3.5 grade point

average the previous semester. The maximum credit hour load is 21 and may not be exceedeQ. Class withdrawals subsequent to the add/drop period are included in the credit hour load.

Veterans and other eligible persons attending Peru State under the benefits of Chapter 34 and 35, Title 38, U.S.C., as fuJl-time students must be enrolled for at least 12 semester hours, or the equivalent.

Offutt Air Force Base and Southeast Community College Students

Courses at these sites are scheduled on an eight-week cycle.

For each eight-week session when students are not registered for student teaching, they may register for a maximum of 12 semester credit hours with Peru State. The 12 hours include any independent study courses.

For the eight-week session when students are registered for student teaching, they may register for a maximum of 11 hours with Peru State. The 11 hours include any independent study courses.

OTHER ACADEMIC POLICIES

Academic Appeals

Students who wish to appeal an academic decision made by the College may petition the Vice President for Academic Affairs in writing and should clearly and specifically state the grounds for the a ppeal. The Vice President for Academic Affairs takes the petition to the appropr iate faculty committee, which makes the decision on the appeal.

The bankrupt semester is removed from consideration for cumulative grade point average purposes and the ba11krupt credit is not used for degree requirements. The semester listing of courses and grades, however, remains on the academic transcript

Academic Dishonesty

Academic integrity is a basic principle which requires the student to take credit only for ideas and efforts that are his/her own. Cheating is defined as the submission of materials in assignments, exams, or other academic work that is based on sources prohibited by the faculty member. Cheating shall i nclude, but is not limited to, situations in which the students:

1. Referring during an academic evaluation to material sources not authorized by the faculty member.

2. Utilizing devices during an academic evaluation that are not authorized by the faculty member.

3. Providing assistance to another student or receiving assistance from anot her student during an academic evaluation in a manner not au• thorized by the faculty member.

4. Presenting as his/her own the ideas or words of another person without customary and proper acknowledgment of sources.

5 Knowingly permitting his/her words to be submitted by another person without the faculty member's permission.

6. Act as a substitute or utilize a substitute in any academic evaluation.

7. Fabricate data in suppo rt of laboratory or field work.

8. Possessing, buying, selling, obtaining, or using a copy of any materials intended to be used as an instrument of academic evaluation in advance of its administration.

9. Altering grade records of his/her own or another student's work in a course or a component of a course.

In addition to any adverse academic action that may result from engaging in academically dishonest behavior, the College specifically reserves the right to address and sanction the conduct involved through the disciplinary procedures outlined in this catalog. Academic actions are reviewable under the Academic Appeals Policy contained in this catalog.

Academic Probation

Students with a cumulative gr ade point average of 1.00-1.99 at the close of a semester, regardless of the number of attempted hours, are placed on academic probation. Probationary students must obtain a minimum 2.0 average for each successive semester of attendance until the required cumulative grade point average of 2.0 or higher has been achieved. Failure to meet the above condition will result in academic suspension. Academic suspension is generally for two semesters. Students who have attempted 21 credit hours or less (including transfer record) and have a cumulative grade point average below 1.00 at t he close of a semester are placed on academic probation and may continue attendance u11det the above requirements provided the following addition a l requirements have been satisfied: The student must petition the Vice President for Academic Affairs on or before the day of general registration, and must address the following points: 1) reasons why the College should allow the s tud ent to continue; 2) the student's explanation for his/her prior poor performance; 3) the student's personal plan for improvement.

Academic Suspension

Studen ts who have attempted 21 semester hours or more, including transfer record , and have a cumulative grade point average below 1.00 at the end of a semester will be suspended . Academic suspension is generally for two semesters. A second academic suspension is generally a final suspension. Suspended students may not take Peru State College courses duri n g the period of suspension.

Administrative Withdrawal

Students who do not meet the prerequisjtes of a course as stated in the current catalog and who have not received instructor permission to enroll may be adm inistratively withdrawn from the course. Stude nts who are so identified after registering for a course will be notified within the add/drop period by the Division Chair that they do not meet the prerequisites and should institute the procedures for dropping the course. Students who do not withdraw will be notified by the Division Chairperson that they are being withdrawn. The Division Chairperson will notify the Registrar to have the student withdrawn. Such notification will be approved by the Vice Pres• ident for Academic Affairs.

Attendance and Scho lastic Attitude

Students are e;,,.'Pected to attend classes r egularly, to arrive punctually, and to complete all assjgned work. Attendance is a privilege and a responsibility represented by not only the student's investment, but also by a significant investment by the State.

When it is necessary for students to miss class, they have the responsibility to notify their instructor in advance whenever possible. Faculty members have the prerogative of allowing students to make up and complete work missed during the absence.

Instructors have the right to base a portion of a student's grade on attendance. They must present their grading practices in writing to both students and th eir division chair during the first week of the semester.

Whenever absences or other elements of scholastic attitude become det· rimental (regardless of cause) to the student's standing in class and /o r the success of the class as a whole, the instructo r may confer wi t h the student. The instructor and the student may mutually agree that the registration in the course should be dropped 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 for Academic Affairs may be asked to participate in the decision. The grade will be a W if the course is dropped prior to the last date to withdraw with a W. An F will be recorded after this date.

Changing a Major

Students wanting to change their initia l major or Premajor status will complete the Change of Major form avrulable at the Registrar's office.

Students who elect to change their major may have to follow t he requirements in the College catalog current at the time of change, rather than the one in effect at the time they were admitted to the College to pursue a degree program. A change in major may also require additional classes and delay the graduation date.

Ch ange in Regi s tration/Drop-Add

Students are responsible for the accuracy of each registration and are ultimately responsible for meeting all degree requirements.

A cha nge in registration is processed at th e Registrar's Office. No full semester courses may be added after the published final date to add courses. When applicable, tuition charges will be refunded only during the official add/drop period.

Dead Week

Dead Week is the week prior to finals week and no exams are to be given during that week. Exceptions to this policy may be granted only by the Vice President for Academic Affairs.

Fina l Exams

An H onors course should be the beginning of a student's lifetime interest in the serious and difficu lt issues of our day. Honors courses are usually interdisciplinary in approach.

Honors courses are designed to stimulate an inquiry model of learning through a seminar structure.

Success in law school requires intellectual depth and breadth as well as certain skills and insights r e levant to law study. Since many of the goals of legal education are also the goals of liberal education, law schools recommend that pre-law students obtain the widest possible undergraduate experience consistent with their professional objectives. Literate; well-informed students with broad general educations tend to succeed in law school. Those students aspiring to enter law school, then, may major and/or minor in any number of fields that will ajd them in attaining the following:

* Skills in writing and oral communication.

"' A broad understanding of the English language.

* A solid background of American history and government.

'" A broad knowledge of society and its institutio ns .

A fundamental understanding of business, including basic accounting skjlls.

$ Ciitical thinking and the ability to reason.

Tbe undergraduate curricula of Peru State College provides a sound foundation for pre-law study and offer students an opportunity to challenge and expand their capacities to the fullest. Students planning a legal career should inform their academic advisor of th is fact early in their undergraduate years in order for the students and the advisor to make important decisions regarding the selection of courses. During the senlor year the student will need to register for the Law School Admissions Test (LSAT). Acceptance into law school will depend upon many factors, of which scores on the LSAT and grade pomt average are usually but partial criteria.
