NOTIFICATION OF RIGHTS UNDER

FERPA AND PUBLIC NOTIFICATION OF

DIRECTORY INFORMATION

Notification of Rights Under FERPA for

Postsecondary Institutions:

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act

(FERPA) affords students certain rights with respect to

their education records. These rights include:

(1) The right to inspect and review the student's education

records within 45 days of the day the University receives a

request for access.

A student should submit to the University Registrar a

written request that identifies the record(s) the student

wishes to inspect. The University official will make

arrangements for access and notify the student of the

time and place where the records may be inspected. If

the records are not maintained by the University official

to whom the request was submitted, that official shall

advise the student of the correct official to whom the

request should be addressed.

(2) The right to request the amendment of the student’s

education records that the student believes are inaccurate,

misleading, or otherwise in violation of the student’s priva-

cy rights under FERPA.

A student who wishes to ask the University to

amend a record should write the University official

responsible for the record, clearly identify the part

of the record the student wants changed, and speci-

fy why it should be changed.

If the University decides not to amend the record as

requested, the University will notify the student in

writing of the decision and the student’s right to a

hearing regarding the request for amendment.

Additional information regarding the hearing proce-

dures will be provided to the student when notified

of the right to a hearing.

(3) The right to provide written consent before the

University discloses personally identifiable information from

the student's education records, except to the extent that

FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent.

The University discloses education records without a

student’s prior written consent under the FERPA excep-

tion for disclosure to school officials with legitimate

educational interests. A school official is a person

employed by the University in an administrative, super-

visory, academic or research, or support staff position

(including law enforcement unit personnel and health

staff); a person or company with whom the University

has contracted as its agent to provide a service instead of

using University employees or officials (such as an

attorney, auditor, or collection agent); a person serving

on the Board of Trustees; or a student serving on an offi-

cial committee, such as a disciplinary or grievance com-

mittee, or assisting another school official in performing

his or her tasks.

A school official has a legitimate educational interest if

the official needs to review an education record in

order to fulfill his or her professional responsibilities

for the University.

Upon request, the University also discloses education

records without consent to officials of another school

in which a student seeks or intends to enroll.

(4) The right to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of

Education concerning alleged failures by the University to

comply with the requirements of FERPA. The name and

address of the office that administers FERPA is:

Family Policy Compliance Office

U.S. Department of Education

400 Maryland Avenue, SW

Washington, DC 20202-5901

Public Notification of Directory Information:

At its discretion, Illinois State University may provide

“directory information” in accordance with the provisions

of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974

(FERPA). Directory information is defined as that informa-

tion which would not generally be considered harmful or

an invasion of privacy if disclosed. Designated directory

information at Illinois State University includes the follow-

ing: student’s name, address (local and home), telephone

listing (local and home), electronic email address, date and

place of birth, major field of study, dates of attendance,

grade level, enrollment status (e.g. undergraduate or gradu-

ate, full-time or part-time), participation in officially recog-

nized activities or sports, weight or height of members of

athletic teams, degrees, honors and awards received, and

the most recent educational agency or institution attended.

Students may block the public disclosure of directory infor-

mation by notifying the Office of the University Registrar

in writing prior to the first day of classes.

Please consider very carefully the consequences of a

decision to withhold directory information. A non-disclo-

sure block will call for Illinois State University not to

release any of this “directory information;” thus, any

future requests for such information from non-institution-

al persons or organizations will be refused.

Illinois State University will honor your request to

withhold directory information but cannot assume

responsibility to contact you for subsequent permission to

release this information. Regardless of the effect upon

you, Illinois State University assumes no liability as a

result of honoring your instructions that such information

be withheld.

Although the initial request may be filed at any time,

requests for non-disclosure will be honored by the

University until removed, in writing, by the student.

OFFICE OF EQUAL OPPORTUNITY,

ETHICS AND ACCESS

Illinois State University fosters a campus environ-

ment that recognizes individual and cultural differences

and is strongly committed to the ethical and legal prin-

ciple that each faculty member of the University com-

munity enjoys academic freedom and all members of

the University have a constitutional right to free speech.

The right of free expression and the open exchange of

ideas and views are essential, especially in a learning

environment. Illinois State University vigorously

upholds these freedoms. However, the value of free

expression may be undermined by certain acts of

harassment or discrimination. Such harassment or dis-

crimination may result in the loss of self-esteem for the

victim and the deterioration of a quality classroom,

social, or work environment. Therefore any act of

harassment or discrimination will not be tolerated.

Harassment or discrimination based upon race, ethnici-

ty, national origin, color, religion, gender, gender identity

and expression, age, disability, sexual orientation, or veter-

an status is in violation of the law and this policy and will

not be tolerated.

Retaliation against any person alleging harassment,

discrimination, or exercising their legal right to have their

allegation investigated (either internally or externally) is

prohibited both by law and this policy.

As members of the Illinois State University communi-

ty, students, faculty, administrators and staff have the

responsibility to respect and not violate the rights of others

and to show tolerance for opinions that differ from their

own. However, nothing in this policy prohibits appropriate

admonition, argument and correction by an instructor in the

conduct of his/her professional responsibility in the interest

of maintaining order, upholding standards, stimulating

thought or promoting competence. Such action is, by defin-

ition, not a violation of this policy. Likewise, nothing in

this policy precludes management’s inherent authority to

plan, direct and evaluate the activities of other organiza-

tional members in accordance with sound management

principles and directives, including communicating, train-

ing and disciplining employees.

All students, faculty and staff are expected to adhere to

this policy and will be held accountable for violating it.

Illinois State University will respond promptly to all com-

plaints of harassment, discrimination, and retaliation.

Violation of this policy can result in serious disciplinary

action up to and including expulsion for students or dis-

charge for employees.

Definitions:

Discrimination: an action or behavior that results in

negative or different treatment of an individual based upon

race, ethnicity, national origin, color, religion, gender, gen-

der identity and expression, age, disability, sexual orienta-

tion, or veteran status.

Harassment: an unwelcome conduct that is based

upon race, ethnicity, national origin, color, religion, gen-

der, gender identity and expression, age, disability, sexual

orientation, or veteran status.

Sexual Harassment: any unwelcome behavior of a sex-

ual nature which may be physical, verbal, or non-verbal.

Sexual harassment includes unwelcome sexual advances,

requests for sexual favors, or other behavior of a sexual

nature and becomes a violation of University policy when:

• The offensive conduct explicitly or implicitly

becomes a term or condition of employment or partici-

pation in a university course, program or activity; or

• The conduct is sufficiently severe, pervasive, or per-

sistent as to interfere with an individual’s work, acade-

mic or program participation, or creates an

environment that a reasonable person would consider

intimidating, hostile or offensive.

Retaliation: occurs when an adverse action is taken

against an individual because s/he engaged in a protected

activity such as filing a harassment/discrimination com-

plaint or participating in an investigation of a

harassment/discrimination investigation.

Statute of Limitations:

To be actionable, a complaint must be filed with the

Office of Equal Opportunity, Ethics, and Access within

180 days of the most recent incident of alleged harassment

or discrimination.

Confidentiality:

While confidentiality cannot be guaranteed, persons

involved in a discrimination, harassment, or sexual harass-

ment complaint are expected to treat all information as

confidential unless disclosure of the information is com-

pelled by law.

Contact Information:

For more information regarding this policy or to file a

formal complaint please contact:

The University provides this Undergraduate Catalog

to answer some of your basic questions and guide you in

the right direction when you need assistance. You are

encouraged to review the entire Undergraduate Catalog

carefully to gain an overview of the opportunities offered

by the University, as well as the University's expectations

of you.

For specific information about particular concerns, con-

sult the Table of Contents, Glossary, or Index in this catalog.

In this catalog you will find descriptions of a wide

variety of undergraduate programs (majors and minors) in

more than 167 separate fields of study. Review the depart-

ment and school sections for an understanding of the

requirements for each of these specific programs. In addi-

tion, the Academic Policies and Practices section details

the general requirements necessary for completion of the

undergraduate degree.

In this catalog you will also find descriptions for the

undergraduate courses offered by the 35 academic depart-

ments and schools of the University. To learn what specific

courses are offered in a given semester, consult your major

department/school or the University Website at

www.IllinoisState.edu.

Undergraduate Catalog

Requirements

For a student who attends at least one term of each

academic year, graduation requirements are specified in

the Undergraduate Catalog for the year of entry to the

University. If attendance is not continuous, a student must

meet the requirements specified in the Undergraduate

Catalog in effect when he or she reenters the University.

If such a student continues in the curriculum chosen origi-

nally, the hours earned in meeting the requirements of the

original program may apply to the hour requirement of a

revised program.

In all instances, the University may adjust graduation

requirements to ensure that each graduate of a teacher prepa-

ration curriculum meets the course requirements for an

Illinois Teaching Certificate.

A student who transfers from an Illinois public com-

munity college to this university may choose to meet gradua-

tion requirements specified in the Illinois State University

Undergraduate Catalog in effect at the time the student

entered the community college if (1) attendance was not

interrupted (not including summer terms), and (2) transfer to

Illinois State occurred within nine months of attendance at

the community college.

Since University programs are constantly evaluated and

improved, a student may graduate under new requirements

published while he or she is in attendance at the

University. A student who changes to new Undergraduate

Catalog requirements, however, must meet all the

requirements including General Education and gradua-

tion requirements, in that catalog.

COURSE PREREQUISITES

Course prerequisites in effect at the time of publication

are printed in this catalog. However, prerequisites may

change over time and do not depend on catalog year. The

registration system will enforce prerequisites in effect at

time of registration.

UNIVERSITYCOMMITMENT TO DIVERSITY

Illinois State University is committed to creating a rich

environment and the Illinois State University community

embraces it enthusiastically. The Board of Trustees and the

Office of the President have approved a University Plan for

Diversity that establishes a series of goals and concrete

actions designed to reinforce and expand the climate for

diversity on campus. The goals from the Plan for Diversity

are incorporated into the University’s strategic plan,

Educating Illinois. Diversity is thus an essential component

of university planning at Illinois State.

CAMPUS PROFILE

Illinois State’s tree-shaded campus covers 490 acres and

provides a study of varying architecture with 140 major

buildings, most of which are less than 40 years old and

accessible to individuals with disabilities. Buildings range

from the castle-like appearance of Cook Hall to the mod-

ernistic dominance of the 28-story Watterson Towers resi-

dence hall, the high-tech Science Laboratory Building and

the College of Business Building.

Classrooms are centrally located, conveniently sur-

rounded by Milner Library, residence halls, athletic arenas,

and facilities set aside for recreational or social activities.

For destinations that may be too far to walk, a bus service

runs through campus at no cost to students with a valid

Illinois State University I.D. It also accommodates students

with disabilities unable to use the regular bus system and

those students who live in areas not serviced by established

city routes.

2,855 current magazine and journal subscriptions,

54,500 electronic journals, 400,000 printed government

publications, 440,000 maps, and 32,000 multimedia

items. Milner’s Website (www.library.ilstu.edu) serves

as an electronic gateway to library resources, ser-

vices, facilities, and staff. In addition, Milner’s “Ask

a Librarian” service provides online access to live ref-

erence through Instant Messaging, text, and email ref-

erence assistance.

Auditorium and the adjacent Bowling and Bill-

iards Center.

facility, that provides to students and faculty new

opportunities for instruction and research.

proscenium theater and an 800-seat concert hall, pro-

vides a high quality venue for performances.

• 18-hole championship golf course, 11 tennis courts,

and Campus Recreation that offers features of a full-

service health club.

such as Academic Planning Committee, Athletic Council,

Council for Teacher Education, Honors Council, Council on

General Education, Student Center Performing Arts and

Advisory Boards, Library, Reinstatement Committees,

ADMISSION APPLICATION AND

PROJECTED DEADLINES

Illinois State University maintains a small college

environment within a large university. We value personal

return to the University after time away should apply for

admission to Illinois State University online at

FINALIZING ADMISSION

• Admission decisions are conditional until high school

graduation and academic preparation is verified on final

transcripts. Admission may be revoked if satisfactory

completion of minimum course specific requirements

and graduation are not confirmed by the high school

transcript.

• Withholding information or giving false information to

the University may make a student ineligible for

admission to the University or subject to dismissal.

TRANSFER ADMISSION

Illinois State considers the following when making

admission decisions:

• Cumulative college grade point average and, for some

academic programs, prerequisite college coursework

(view the Transfer and Readmit Major Admission

Guide at www.admissions.ilstu.edu/transfer/require-

ments) for these requirements.

• Good academic standing from last school attended.

• If less than 24 college semester hours completed at the

time of application, high school courses, high school

grade point average, and ACT/SAT scores.

• Proof of high school graduation or a passing score on

GED exam, if requested.

• Optional: an academic personal statement explaining

circumstances that affected collegiate academic perfor-

mance.

• Illinois State requires all students to have a declared

major upon completion of 75 hours. Due to this policy,

transfer students are encouraged to apply to a major pro-

gram of study. Transfer students with a high amount of

transfer credit will be carefully reviewed and evaluated

on a case by case basis for admissibility to the

University and to their intended major.

Illinois State generally uses all grades shown on all

college transcripts to determine an admission grade point

average. However, for repeated courses, only the last

repeated grade will be used in calculating the grade point

average for admission. Remedial (non-credit) course

work is not used in calculating the admission GPA.

NOTE: An Associate in Arts or Associate in Science degree

does not guarantee admission.

FINALIZING ADMISSION

• Admission decisions are conditional until final tran-

scripts are received and satisfactory completion of

courses is confirmed Admission may be revoked if

this information is not verified by the final official

transcript(s).

• Withholding information or giving false information to

the University may make a student ineligible for

admission to the University or subject to dismissal.

Transferability of Course Credit

•After official transcripts from all previously attended

universities are received and soon after admission to

Illinois State, the Office of the University Registrar will

send you a Statement of Transfer Credit indicating how

each course transfers and how it has been used to fulfill

Illinois State’s curricular requirements. Transfer credit

from community colleges is limited to 66 semester

hours, plus four credits of physical education courses;

credit from four-year colleges and universities is limited

to 90 semester hours. Additional credit for military ser-

vice may be considered.

• Students who have completed an A.A. or A.S. from any

regionally accredited post secondary institution or the

Illinois Articulation Initiative General Education Core

Curriculum (IAI GECC) at an accredited, participating

Illinois college or university, will be considered to have

met the Illinois State University General Education

Considering ISU?

Pgs 01 - 48 CAS mary(2).qxp:Pgs 01-52.qxp 3/30/10 9:37 AM Page 15

requirements. Students completing an A.A. or A.S. will

also have junior class standing. Illinois State University

accepts the AAT degree as a baccalaureate-oriented

degree when the AAT degree includes the IAI transfer-

able core. For more information regarding the IAI GECC

visit www.iTransfer.org.

• Transfer students who transfer credit from participat-

ing Illinois colleges or universities that satisfies some

but not all requirements of the IAI GECC may satisfy

Illinois State General Education requirements by

completing requirements for the IAI GECC at Illinois

State or by completing the University’s own General

Education program. Other students must complete

Illinois State’s General Education program.

• Illinois State generally accepts transfer courses with

earned grades of D. However, certain courses in some

major programs may require a grade of C or better.

fers D grade course credit that is equated to an Illinois

State course requiring a grade of C or better, the stu-

dent will have to repeat the course to satisfy the major

program requirements.

FORMER ILLINOIS STATE

STUDENTS SEEKING READMISSION

Students who have been absent from the University

for one or more semesters must apply for readmission.

Early application is encouraged as it may not be possible

to offer readmission for the term requested due to space

limitations. Readmitted students should consult the sec-

tion on Undergraduate Catalog Requirements to deter-

mine which catalog should be used to determine grad-

uation requirements.

Illinois State considers the following when making

decisions on readmission:

• Students must have left Illinois State University in

good academic standing.

• If coursework is completed since leaving Illinois State,

a minimum 2.00 GPA is required for all college

coursework completed and good academic standing

must be shown from the last institution attended.

Please note that many majors require higher GPA stan-

dards and prerequisite college coursework for admis-

sion. Visit www.Admissions.ilstu.edu/returning/ to

view the Transfer and Readmit Major Admission

Guide for these requirements.

• If on probation or dismissed, students may be consid-

ered for reinstatement or for the New Start readmission

program. Supplemental information may be requested to

determine eligibility.

Visit www.admissions.ilstu.edu/returning/ to learn more

about these readmission options.

• If dismissed for disciplinary reasons, students should

contact the Community Rights and Responsibilities

Office for disciplinary clearance. Readmission cannot

be considered until clearance is given.

New Start Policy: Students who leave Illinois State in

a degree program with less than a 2.00 cumulative grade-

point average (GPA) may be considered for readmission

through the New Start Policy. Applicants admitted through

this policy will begin with a new cumulative GPA calculat-

ed from the point of their reentry.

Students may be considered for readmission through

the New Start Policy after being away from the

University for one full year (Example: A student who last

attended the University the Fall 2009 term cannot reenroll

through the New Start Policy until the Spring 2011 term.)

and only when the requirements of one of the following

New Start categories are met: Nontraditional Student,

Veteran, or Community College Transfer. These cate-

gories are described in detail in the Academic Policies

and Practices section under the heading “Additional

Academic Requirements” in this catalog and on the

Admissions Website.

The application process includes the submission of the

application for admission, official academic transcripts

from all schools attended since leaving Illinois State, and a

encouraged to file an application as soon as possible dur-

ing the preferred filing period for the term for which they

are applying. Application deadlines are posted on the

earned, will be used in the calculation of the major GPA,

the minor GPA, and graduation honors. Students who are

admitted through the New Start Policy will be admitted

on academic probation and be required to participate in

Project Success. (See the Academic Policies and

Practices section for further information). Students who

reenter under the New Start Policy must follow the

Undergraduate Catalog in effect at the time of reentry.

30 semester hours at Illinois State University after exer-

cising New Start.

Considering ISU?

Pgs 01 - 48 CAS mary(2).qxp:Pgs 01-52.qxp 3/30/10 9:37 AM Page 19

The priority FAFSA filing date for Illinois State

University is March 1, each year. The federal processor

must receive your application by this date to insure your

application receives full consideration for all financial aid

programs. If your FAFSA is received after March 1, you

will be considered for financial aid programs for which

you are eligible and that have remaining funds.

If you or your parents (if you are a dependent student)

have not completed your federal tax return by March 1, you

can still apply on time by indicating on the FAFSA that you

will file but have not yet completed your tax return.

In March or April - After you receive your Student

Aid Report, you must review it for accuracy. You can then

make any necessary corrections based on your and/or your

parents’ tax return information.

The income and asset information provided on the

FAFSA determines your financial aid eligibility. Be sure to

use Illinois State's Title IV school code: 001692. There is no

separate institutional application for financial aid at Illinois

State. You will need to submit an additional application for

summer aid (see Financial Aid for Summer Session).

Financial Aid for the Summer Session: If you are

enrolled for at least six hours of coursework, you may apply

for financial aid. The application form for the Summer

Session will be available at the Financial Aid Office, 231

Fell Hall, and in the Forms and Publications section of the

IllinoisState.edu/financialaid Website in early March.

Data from your FAFSA will be used to determine your

eligibility for aid for the summer session. Aid funds for the

summer session are very limited. Direct Loan funds are

available only if you have remaining loan eligibility for your

class level.

Institutional Quality Assurance Program (IQAP):

Illinois State University is a participant in the U.S.

Department of Education’s Institutional Quality Assurance

Program. It is important that you keep copies of federal tax

returns and W2s, including those of your parents if you

apply as a dependent student, because Department of

Education regulations require the Financial Aid Office to

verify the accuracy of financial data for selected aid appli-

cants. If your application is selected for review under this

program, you will be notified in writing and asked to pro-

vide the above documents. It is important that you respond

within the specified time frame. Otherwise, processing of

your financial aid, including loans, may be delayed.

LOANS

Federal Direct Student Loan Program: You must

complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid

(FAFSA) to receive a loan. The Financial Aid Office will

determine your eligibility for all other aid programs prior to

processing your loan. Because Illinois State is a participant

in the Federal Direct Loan program, a loan application from

a bank or other lender is not required.

There are two kinds of direct loans: subsidized and

unsubsidized. If you are eligible for the subsidized loan based

on financial need, the interest on the loan is paid for you as

long as you are enrolled half-time (a minimum of 6 hours per

semester). The unsubsidized loan is not based on financial

need and requires that you make quarterly interest payments

on the loan while you are enrolled. If you choose to defer

payments while you are in school, the interest will be added

to the principal of your loan (capitalized).

After your loan is processed, you will receive an award

letter and information on completing an electronic Master

Promissory Note (EMPN), if you have not already done so.

Read the information carefully. Before loan proceeds will be

credited to your account, the EMPN and loan counseling

(see below) must be completed.

Because of its participation in the Direct Loan program,

Illinois State receives loan proceeds directly from the U.S.

Department of Education. Your loan proceeds will be

applied to your university charges.

Loan Counseling: Students who are first-time Direct

Loan borrowers are required to attend Federal Direct Loan

entrance loan counseling before loan proceeds are credited

to the student's account. You may meet this requirement by

completing loan entrance counseling on the Web at

IllinoisState.edu/financialaid.

If you attended entrance counseling at another school,

you must sign a statement verifying that you previously met

the requirement. The purpose of entrance counseling is to

inform you of your responsibilities and rights as a borrower.

Exit Information: Before you graduate, or if your

enrollment status drops below 6 hours per semester, you

will be sent information concerning Direct Loan exit coun-

seling, which outlines loan repayment, consolidation, and

deferment options. You may also get this information from

the Exit Counseling link from the Financial Aid Office

Website, IllinoisState.edu/financialaid. Repayment of your

Direct Loan begins six months after you leave the

University or drop below half-time status.

Federal Perkins Loan: The Federal Perkins Loan pro-

gram is for students enrolled at least half-time in a degree

program and gives priority to those students with exceptional

financial need. For new borrowers after July 1, 1987, repay-

ment and interest begins nine months after the student gradu-

ates, leaves school, or drops below half-time. The

cumulative loan limit is $20,000 for undergraduates and

$30,000 for graduate students. The interest rate is five per-

cent. These funds are awarded on a first-come basis to quali-

fied applicants.

Nursing Student Loan: Students enrolled at least half-

time in the Nursing Program and who demonstrate need by

filling the FAFSA are eligible for a Nursing Student Loan.

The cumulative loan limit is $13,000 and repayment begins

9 months after the student ceases to be enrolled at least half-

time. Interest during repayment includes 5 percent interest

and the maximum repayment period is 10 years.

Federal Direct PLUS Loan: Parents of dependent stu-

dents may apply for the Parent Loan for Undergraduate

Students (PLUS); application forms are available upon

request from the Financial Aid Office. You may also print an

application from IllinoisState.edu/financialaid. A parent may

borrow up to the cost of attendance less any other financial

aid the student is receiving. In order to determine eligibility,

parents must file the Free Application for Federal Student

Aid (FAFSA).

Before PLUS loan proceeds will be credited to the stu-

dent’s account, the parent completing the PLUS application

must also complete a Master Promissory Note and undergo a

successful credit check by the Department of Education. An

electronic version of the promissory note is available at

IllinoisState.edu/financialaid.

“Alternative” Loans: Alternative or private loans are

for students and parents who are not eligible for the federal

programs of financial aid, or who need additional funds to

meet educational expenses. In order to determine eligibility,

students/parents must file the Free Application for Federal

Student Aid (FAFSA). If you have any questions about your

eligibility for financial aid to attend Illinois State, contact

your financial aid counselor.

FINANCIAL AID DISBURSEMENT

If the amount of financial aid exceeds charges, you

will receive a refund of the balance. Refund checks are

mailed from the Student Accounts Office throughout the

academic year for aid in excess of amounts owed the

University. You should be prepared to buy books and have

“start up” funds for the beginning of the semester.

It is important to keep your local and permanent address

information current with the Office of the University

Registrar. University offices use this information to contact

you (i.e., the Student Accounts Office will use your local

address to send a refund check to you). If there is no local

address on file with the Registrar, correspondence will be

sent to your permanent home address.

You may update your address in person at the Office of

the University Registrar Service Center, Office of the

University Registrar, 107 Moulton Hall, or by accessing the

iCampus Portal at IllinoisState.edu/icampus.

SATISFACTORY ACADEMIC PROGRESS

All students who receive federal and state financial

aid must meet federal and institutional standards for acad-

emic progress in order to establish and retain aid eligibili-

ty. Students receiving athletic or other university

administered awards must also meet the satisfactory acad-

emic progress standards that have been established by the

awarding entity.

Satisfactory academic progress for federal and state

financial aid programs is based on three measures: cumula-

tive grade-point average, completion rate based on credit

hours completed compared to credit hours attempted, and a

maximum time frame for degree completion. The follow-

ing describes the university's standards for each of these

three measures, and when they are reviewed:

Cumulative Grade Point Average: Undergraduate

students must maintain a minimum cumulative grade

point average (GPA) of 2.00 based on credits earned at

Illinois State University. The first time a student's GPA is

below 2.00, the student is placed on Academic Probation

and continues to be eligible to receive financial aid. If the

student does not raise the GPA to 2.00 in the following

semester of attendance, or the GPA falls below 2.00 in a

subsequent semester, the student is Academically

Dismissed and loses financial aid eligibility (see

Academic Policies and Practices).

Completion Rate: All students are required to complete

a minimum of 67 percent of the credit hours attempted at

Illinois State University. Courses with a grade of D or high-

er, as well as "CR" or "CT", count as completed. Credit

hours attempted includes audits, incompletes, withdrawals,

and repeated or failed classes. A student who does not com-

plete a minimum of 67 percent of credit hours attempted will

be suspended from financial aid eligibility until his or her

completion rate improves to at least 67 percent.

Maximum Time Frame: The maximum time frame

for the completion of a degree is limited by federal regula-

tions to 150 percent of the published length of the degree

program. This is equivalent to a maximum number of credit

hours that includes transfer credits and all attempted credits

at Illinois State University. Credit hours attempted include

audits, incompletes, withdrawals, and repeated or failed

classes. The maximum number of credit hours for which a

student is eligible to receive financial aid is 180. The

University also requires that all students have a declared

major upon completion of 75 hours of coursework, includ-

ing transfer credits. At 75 hours earned, students without a

declared major are not automatically eligible to continue

their enrollment or receive financial aid.

Review of Progress Standards: Cumulative GPA is

reviewed at the end of each semester—fall semester and

spring semester—for both financial aid eligibility and for

continued enrollment at Illinois State University.

Completion rate is reviewed upon submission of a

financial aid application (the FAFSA), and at the end of

each period of enrollment, including the summer session.

The Financial Aid Office sends a “warning letter” to any

aid recipient who has not completed 67 percent of hours

attempted at the end of the summer session or fall semes-

ter. Aid eligibility is suspended at the end of the spring

semester for any aid recipient who does not meet the 67

percent completion standard.

Maximum timeframe is reviewed upon submission of

a financial aid application (the FAFSA), and at the end of

each period of enrollment, including the summer session.

The Financial Aid Office sends a “warning letter” to any aid

recipient who is within 15 hours of reaching the maximum

attempted hours for his or her degree program.

Notification/Appeals: If financial aid eligibility is

suspended as a result of failure to meet the completion

rate or maximum timeframe standard, the Financial Aid

Office sends a letter to the student including a

Satisfactory Academic Progress Appeal Form. The

Satisfactory Academic Progress Appeal Form must

include reasons for failure to achieve good academic

standing and any applicable documentation. Appeal

Forms must be submitted to the Financial Aid Office

within 30 days of the date of the letter and are reviewed

by The Satisfactory Academic Progress Committee. For

the Completion Rate standard, students can also restore

aid eligibility by earning enough additional hours to meet

the 67 percent requirement.

If the student is not meeting the Cumulative Grade

Point Average standard necessary for Financial Aid

Satisfactory Academic Progress, the Office of Enrollment

Management and Academic Services will communicate

this information as part of a student's official notification of

academic probation, dismissal or reinstatement. For more

information about Financial Aid Satisfactory Academic

Progress contact the Financial Aid Office.

ENROLLMENT CHANGES AND FINANCIAL

AID ELIGIBILITY

Reduction in Hours: Reducing your credit hours has

implications for both your aid eligibility for the current

semester and future terms. Your aid eligibility is based on

the number of credit hours for which you are enrolled on

census day, usually the Friday of the second week of class-

es. If your aid was distributed based on full-time enroll-

ment (12 credits undergraduate; 9 credits graduate) and you

drop to part-time on or before census day, your aid may be

reduced. If you drop after the day withdrawal grades are

assigned, the withdrawal grades will reduce your percent-

age completion rate, which is part of the standards of

Satisfactory Academic Progress for the receipt of financial

aid. These standards are posted on the financial aid

Website: www.IllinoisState.edu/financialaid.

Withdrawal: Federal regulations state that financial

aid is earned by attending class. You have not earned 100%

of your financial aid until you have attended 60 percent of

the term. If you withdraw before this date, a portion of

your financial aid has not been earned. The unearned por-

tion is equal to the percentage of the term remaining on the

date of withdrawal. Your financial aid eligibility will be

recalculated based on your actual period of attendance -

you may be asked to repay a portion of the aid that had

been distributed to you.

Failure to Earn Credit: If you fail to earn credit for

any of your classes (receive grades of F, W, I and/or NC),

federal regulations require the Financial Aid Office to

assume you stopped attending your classes. In order to

retain any of your financial aid, you must provide proof

that you attended classes. If you did stop attending class,

you are treated as an unofficial withdrawal. This means

that the midpoint of the term is used as your last date of

attendance and your aid eligibility is reduced by up to 50%.

This will result in you owing funds back to the universi-

ty unless you can provide documentation of attendance

past the 60% point of the term.

CONFIDENTIALITY AND THE RELEASE

OF INFORMATION

The Financial Aid Office will release information from

your financial aid application file to parties within the

University if their inquiry is related to your attendance at

Illinois State. Inquiries from off-campus agencies and/or

landlords will be answered by Financial Aid Office staff

only if you have completed and signed a "Consent to

Release Information" form from the Financial Aid Office.

To protect the confidentiality of your records, the Financial

Aid Office will require proper identification from the

requesting party before releasing any of your information.

Appropriate documentation of any release of information

will be placed in your financial aid file.

STUDENT EMPLOYMENT

Students enrolled for six or more semester hours may

work part-time at Illinois State University. Eligible student

employees usually work 10 to 15 hours per week while

classes are in session. Students working at Illinois State

University earn a minimum of $7.50 per hour. This pay

range is subject to change by action of the federal govern-

ment, the state, or the institution.

Federal Work-Study Program: This federally spon-

sored program enables students with demonstrated financial

need to earn a portion of their expenses while they are

enrolled at Illinois State. To be initially awarded Federal

Work-Study the applicant must indicate an interest in

“work-study”on the FAFSA and demonstrate need. The

federal government pays 70 percent of a Work-Study stu-

dent’s earnings, while the employer pays the balance. A stu-

dent employed 10-15 hours per week can expect to earn

between $1,500 and $2,000 a year. Work-Study students

find work on-campus (food service, library, Bone Student

Center, departmental offices) or in nonprofit, off-campus

agencies (hospitals, youth centers, charitable agencies and

libraries). Another Federal Work-Study program is the

“America Reads” initiative in which students are employed

as reading tutors in local elementary schools.

Students go directly to the employer for an interview

and, if hired, must complete state and federal withholding

tax forms in the Payroll Office, 101 Hovey Hall. The student

is not permitted to earn more than the Work-Study eligibility

determined by federal regulations.

Regular Student Employment: Those students who

desire to work on or off campus may seek part-time employ-

ment with the University or off campus. These jobs general-

ly pay the minimum wage. Hours vary, and may be less

flexible than Federal Work-Study positions.

Finding a Job: Both Federal Work Study and regular

student employment part-time job openings are accessible

through student employment at IllinoisState.edu/jobs.

The Financial Aid Office, located in Fell 238, can offer

assistance with off-campus part-time job searches. Call

(309) 438-2236 for an appointment with the coordinator of

part-time employment.

Tuition and Fees

ESTIMATED TOTAL YEARLY EXPENSES

Tuition, fees, and on-campus housing charges are sub-

ject to change by action of the Board of Trustees. For the

most up to date rates and information, please refer to our

Website at: www.comptroller.ilstu.edu/studentaccounts.

UNDERGRADUATE TUITION AND FEES

FOR NEW STUDENTS

Tuition and fees other than health insurance are

assessed at per semester hour rates. Health insurance is

assessed to all students enrolled in nine or more semester

hours. Upon being first enrolled in a degree program at

Illinois State University, tuition and general fee rates for

undergraduate students will be locked for a four-year peri-

od. Certain degree programs qualify for the locked rate to

be extended beyond the four-year period. For additional

information, refer to the Student Accounts Web page at

IllinoisState.edu/studentaccounts.

Audit Costs: Students taking only audit courses (cours-

es without credit) are charged tuition rates the same as any

other course.

Residents and Non-Residents: An applicant or

enrolled student is classified either as a resident of Illinois, a

non-resident, or a foreign student. Residency for tuition pur-

poses is different from residency for voting, taxing purposes,

or residency requirements of on-campus doctoral programs.

A student must be a U.S. citizen or have been approved

for U.S. Permanent Resident status in order to be considered

as an Illinois resident. An individual’s residency status is

based on information from the admission application. A stu-

dent who is not a resident of Illinois pays the non-resident

tuition fee. All other fees are the same for non-residents. A

student under 18 years of age is considered a non-resident if

the student’s parents are not legal residents of Illinois. A stu-

dent over 18 years of age is considered a non-resident if the

student is not a legal resident of Illinois. Personnel within the

Office of the University Registrar are responsible for deter-

mining residency.

An individual will be considered an Illinois resident

if all of the following conditions are met:

1. The individual resided with his or her parent or

guardian while attending public or private high school

in this State.

2. The individual graduated from a public or private high

school or received the equivalent of a high school

diploma in this State.

3. The individual attended school in this State for at least 3

years as of the date the individual graduated from high

school or received the equivalent of a high school diploma.

4. The individual registers as an entering student in the

University not earlier than the 2004 fall semester.

5. In the case of an individual who is not a citizen or a

permanent resident of the United States, the individual

provides the University with an affidavit stating that

the individual will file an application to become a per-

manent resident of the United States at the earliest

opportunity the individual is eligible to do so.

Tuition and fees are subject to change by action of

the Board of Trustees and the General Assembly.

Reduction of Tuition and Fees Policy: A registered

student who officially withdraws from the University may

receive a reduction of tuition and fees, including any

advance deposit according to the following schedule:

1. If withdrawal is prior to the first regularly scheduled

class day, all tuition and fees are deleted.

2. If withdrawal is within the first 15 calendar days after

the first regularly scheduled class day, all tuition and

fees minus a service charge of $30 are refunded.

3. If withdrawal is after the 15th calendar day but within

the sixty percent point in time of the period of enroll-

ment—a refund equal to the portion of the period of

enrollment remaining, rounded downward to the nearest

ten percent, less an administrative fee not to exceed the

lesser of five percent of the initial tuition, fees, and other

charges assessed the student or $100.

A student who changes from full- to part-time status or

a part-time student who reduces the number of credit hours

carried may receive a reduction of tuition and fees accord-

ing to the following schedule:

1. If the reduction is on or before the 15th calendar day

after the first regularly scheduled class day, all tuition

and fees not applicable to the new part-time status are

reduced. A service charge is not applicable to a student

who changes from full-time to part-time status.

2. If the reduction is after the 15th but no later than the

30th calendar day after the first regularly scheduled

class day, 25 percent of the difference in tuition charge

only is reduced.

A student may receive a refund of insurance fees if the

student demonstrates equal or better insurance coverage

and completes the written application on or before the 15th

calendar day after the first regularly scheduled class day.

A student whose course of study requires absence from

campus for the entire term shall, upon proper application,

receive refunds of Activity, Health Service, and Athletic

fees. The application for the refund must be made to the

Office of University Registrar on or before the 15th calendar

day after the first regularly scheduled class day.

Part or all of a student’s tuition and fees may be

refunded because of the student’s death or disability,

extreme hardship, or institutional error.

A student may receive a refund of tuition and fees if a

scholarship is awarded that covers those fees. The applica-

tion for refund must be made no later than 60 days after the

close of the session.

A student may receive a refund of tuition and fees if the

University declares him or her ineligible for enrolled status

prior to the first day of regularly scheduled class.

The statement of the refund policy for University

housing is a part of the housing contract. Information on

the refund policy may be obtained from the Student

Accounts Office.

stances warrant exceptions from published policy may

appeal to the Associate Vice President for Student Affairs by

RESIDENCE HALLS

The University owns and operates 10 residence halls, pro-

viding living accommodations for approximately 6,500 stu-

dents. These facilities include spaces accessible to students

with disabilities. The residence halls have been designed to

provide not only basic living requirements, but also counsel-

ing, advisement, educational, and cocurricular programs. The

University regards residence hall living as an important part of

university life and requires that certain students reside in the

residence halls as a condition of enrollment.

Professional staff, aided by undergraduate Resident

Assistants, is responsible for educational programs, poli-

cies, and facilities within the residence halls.

In the spring, residence hall information about the

contract application process and the room selection

process will be mailed to the students who have been

admitted to the University for the following academic

year. If all regular residence hall rooms become filled, new

applicants may be offered accommodations in supplemental

housing. (Supplemental housing rooms are like regular rooms

in their furnishings but are used as study lounges when not

being used for supplemental housing and may house up to six

students.) Room and meal plan rates for supplemental hous-

ing are the same as for regular housing. Acceptance of a sup-

plemental housing offer is optional, however all terms and

conditions become enforceable upon receipt of the supple-

mental housing contract addendum by the University.

The room rate in the residence halls for the 2009-2010

academic year ranged from $4,190 to $7,164 for multiple

occupancy room. A limited number of single, super single,

and suite rooms are available at an additional cost.

Manchester Hall will remain open during all university

breaks during the academic year. All students assigned to

Manchester Hall are required to pay an additional mandato-

ry, nonrefundable charge above and beyond the basic room

rate. A deposit is required at the time a student completes

his/her online application contract. The deposit covers a

security deposit, which is retained until the final period of

occupancy, a nonrefundable application fee, and a payment

which is applied toward room charges. In 2009-2010, the

deposit was $300. Students may elect to pay each semes-

ter's room and meal plan charges in one lump sum or in

installments. There is a $30 refund for paying in one lump

sum. Students are expected to furnish linens, towels, blan-

kets, pillows, bedspreads, and waste baskets. Rates for the

2010-2011 and 2011-2012 academic years were not

available at the time this catalog was printed. Visit

www.Housing.ilstu.edu for additional information.

University On-Campus Housing Policy: Entering fresh-

men who have not previously attended this University must

reside in university-operated residence halls for their first four

semesters. Students transferring to this University as sopho-

mores (as classified by the Office of Admissions) must reside

in university-operated residence halls for their first two semes-

ters. These policies are applicable to all students insofar as

space is available in university residence halls. Residence hall

living for two summer sessions is equivalent to one semester.

Visit www.Housing.ilstu.edu for more complete information

about the On-Campus Housing Policy.

The University may make exceptions for certain cate-

gories of students based upon guidelines related to marital

status, proximity of home to campus, age, and other perti-

nent factors. The deadline for requesting an exemption to

the requirement is July 15 immediately prior to the academic

year. Consideration also will be given to applications for

exemption received prior to July 15 from sophomore stu-

dents who are members of fraternities or sororities who

will be residing in their organization’s official house.

Those fraternities and sororities must be members of

Interfraternity Council Panhellenic Association and

National Panhellenic Council, Inc. and approved by the

Dean of Students Office. Students who wish to appeal a

decision concerning their petition for an exemption to the

• empowering individuals,

• promoting equal access,

• encouraging self-advocacy,

• reducing attitudinal, physical and

communications barriers, and

• providing appropriate accommodations.

Making the Transition

Pgs 01 - 48 CAS mary(2).qxp:Pgs 01-52.qxp 3/30/10 9:37 AM Page 30

Disability Concerns provides accommodation services

that support people with disabilities in:

• the realization of academic goals,

• reaching professional goals, and

• becoming contributing members of society and

lifelong learners.

To receive services from Disability Concerns, appropri-

ate medical/psychoeducational documentation must be pro-

vided. Upon acceptance of the documentation by the

Documentation Review Committee, the case coordinator

works with the student on a case-by-case basis to determine

the impact of the disability and the appropriate accommoda-

tion(s). Disability Concerns offers a variety of services to

accommodate persons with disabilities. Accommodations

provided may include, but are not limited to, exam accom-

modations, sign language interpreters, notetakers, assistive

technologies and materials in alternative formats.

Disability Concerns provides many of its services

through a volunteer model. This is promoted to diminish

attitudinal barriers and to promote understanding and

respect for persons with disabilities. All students, faculty,

staff, and alumni of the University are encouraged to vol-

unteer their time and talents. This volunteer program

offers the opportunity to obtain volunteer hours, develop

experience to enhance a resume, and perhaps most impor-

tantly, develop skills that encourage and promote diversi-

ty. Persons interested in providing volunteer assistance

should inquire at Disability Concerns.

STUDENT HEALTH PROGRAM

Student Health Services: (309) 438-8655

Website: www.shs.ilstu.edu

Student Insurance: (309) 438-2515

The Student Health Services and Student Insurance

Office are located on the second floor of the Student

Services Building on the corner of College Avenue and

University Street, just west of the Bone Student Center.

The Student Health program consists of two compo-

nents (1) the on-campus Student Health Service and (2) a

comprehensive low-cost Student Health and Accident

Insurance Plan that supplements services available through

the Student Health Services.

Eligibility and Fees: Regarding the Student Health

Services, all students who register for one or more credit

hours and are assessed general fees are entitled to use all the

services at the on-campus clinic for the entire semester or ses-

sion. There will be a $5 Front Door Fee assessed to the user’s

University account for each visit to the Student Health

Services. Spring semester students, who do not plan to attend

summer session classes, may obtain summer health care if

they pay the appropriate health fee. Enrolled students may

purchase Student Health Services access for spouses/domes-

tic partners if they pay the fee. An eligible student who grad-

uates may purchase one additional term prior to the

expiration of the current term. All optional health fees are

payable at the Student Health Services Business Office.

Regarding Student Health Insurance, all students who

spring semesters by the fifteenth calendar day of classes (or

for six or more hours by the eighth day of the first summer

session) and are assessed general fees, are also assessed a

health insurance premium.

On-Campus Student Health Services: The clinic is fully

accredited by the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory

Health Care, Inc. Services at the clinic are comparable to

those offered by most private community physicians. The

clinic is staffed by licensed physicians, nurse practitioners,

physician assistants and nurses. Services available include a

medical clinic, women’s health clinic, psychiatry, diagnostic

laboratory, radiology, pharmacy, allergy injections, immu-

nizations, etc. Students wanting to use the clinic may sched-

ule an appointment via the Website at www.shs.ilstu.edu or

call the appointment line at (309) 438-2778 to schedule an

appointment. Students need to bring their Illinois State

Student I.D. card at check-in.

Complicated illnesses or injuries requiring surgery or

long-term care usually will be referred to an outside special-

ist. New students who have chronic medical conditions such

as asthma, diabetes, or epilepsy, which require continuous

monitoring and treatment, should retain the services of pri-

vate physicians for the continuing supervision and manage-

ment of their condition. The Student Health Services staff

will furnish supportive care and assist the student’s private

physician in the student’s care if the private physician fur-

Making the Transition

Pgs 01 - 48 CAS mary(2).qxp:Pgs 01-52.qxp 3/30/10 9:37 AM Page 31

nishes written instructions. There are medical specialists plus

two hospitals in the Bloomington-Normal area that are

equipped to handle medical problems should they arise.

Information regarding medical services can be obtained by

contacting the Student Health Services main reception area in

the Student Services Building, or by calling (309) 438-8655.

Student Health and Accident Insurance: The

Student Health Insurance Fee provides a health and acci-

dent insurance policy intended to meet the needs of stu-

dents without other insurance or to provide 100 percent

coverage for insured expenses by coordinating with a

family policy. The policy includes world-wide coverage,

with a $1,000,000 maximum, a $1,000 stop-loss provision

designed to provide catastrophic coverage while limiting

out-of-pocket expenses, and a $50 deductible. This

deductible is waived if other insurance is also in force.

The schedule of benefits includes services for hospital

inpatient and outpatient use, including emergencies, sur-

gical and anesthesia fees, physicians’ charges, consulta-

tion expenses, laboratory and radiology expenses, and

ambulance services. A complete schedule of benefits may

be obtained from the Office of Student Insurance, Room

230, in the Student Services Building.

Student insurance coverage (and eligibility to use

clinic services) begins the Monday prior to the first day of

regularly scheduled fall classes; the Thursday before

spring classes; and on the first day of the first summer

session classes. This coverage is terminated on the first

day of classes of the next regularly scheduled term.

Continuous year-round coverage is available if the stu-

dent maintains university registration at nine or more

hours during the fall and spring semesters and applies for

summer coverage prior to the expiration of spring cover-

age. A summer insurance fee is assessed automatically

when registration of 6 or more credit hours is completed

by the 8

calendar day. An insured student who graduates

may purchase one additional term at the group rate by the

last day of the covered period. This policy contains no

extension of benefits into a non-covered semester for any

condition. Extension of coverage for existing conditions,

such as maternity, is available through the continuation

option, details of which can be obtained from the Student

Insurance Office. Although dependent coverage is not

included in the Student Plan, the Student Insurance Office

can provide suggested alternatives for students needing

dependent coverage.

It is strongly recommended that students remain

enrolled in this plan even if other health insurance is pre-

sent. A request to cancel this insurance plan is permitted

during the first 15 calendar days of each semester (eight

days during the summer session) for those students who

prove they have comparable insurance coverage (insurance

ID card or copy of policy) and complete the required peti-

tion in the Student Insurance Office. However, experience

often has shown that the premium for the Illinois State

University plan is less than out-of-pocket bills that many

have to pay because of higher deductibles and coinsurance

provisions in their own policy. Additionally, students

sometimes lose coverage through their parents’ plan

because of age limitations, changes in dependent status, or

changes in employment of parents. Thus, it can be more

economical to remain enrolled in the Illinois State plan.

The previous information is a summary of benefits

and enrollment procedures. Persons desiring specific

information about the Illinois State University Student

Health Insurance Plan should contact the Student Health

Insurance Office, Room 230, Student Services Building,

or call (309) 438-2515.

www.CareerCenter.ilstu.edu and CareerCenter@ilstu.edu

The Career Center is a valuable central resource for our

students, alumni, faculty, and employers who are seeking

qualified candidates. Students may receive guidance in many

areas from deciding on a major to exploring career options

that match their talents, interests, and career goals. The

Career Center Staff also assists students in developing job

search skills that will give them a competitive edge when

applying for internships and full-time positions.

Students may take advantage of individualized career

planning assistance by making an appointment with their

career advisor or by utilizing other career services such as

the online job search tool (eRecruiting), an extensive

Website containing quality job search information and mate-

rials; on-campus interview opportunities with employers;

and a variety of events offered throughout the academic year

to facilitate students and alumni meeting with employers

from business, industry, government, education and the not-

for-profit sector. Staff is also available to assist students and

alumni at any stage of the their career search process including

assessment of interests and abilities; choosing a major; clarify-

ing career goals; and providing information about the labor

market, job outlook and salaries.

A key component leading to a student’s success when

applying for the first career position after graduation is hav-

ing participated in one or more internships while an under-

graduate. Internships give students the advantage of having

career-related experience immediately upon graduation from

college. Internships are professionally monitored work or

service experience for students that provide intentional

learning goals and reflect actively on the learning experi-

ence. They can be part- or full-time and paid or unpaid.

Tuition and fees are assessed in the usual manner for all

credit earned in internship experiences. Students are encour-

aged to work with the Internship Coordinator in their college

along with the Career Center’s Assistant Director of

Professional Practice or their career advisor to find intern-

ships that will provide the professional experiences needed

to be competitive in the job market.

Illinois State University’s nationally recognized

Professional Practice Program offers academically qualified

students an opportunity to integrate classroom study with

one or more terms of paid or unpaid internship experience in

a work environment related to the student’s academic and

career goals. Many organizations in the U.S. and abroad

have served as learning sites. Students interested in enrolling

in internships (typically 198, 298, 398 courses in the catalog)

should contact the internship coordinator in their depart-

ment/school or the Career Center early in their undergradu-

ate program to ensure proper arrangement.

Director: Dr. Kim Pereira

Website: IllinoisState.edu/honors

The nationally recognized Honors Program at Illinois

State University provides enriching educational opportuni-

ties for academically talented students. Excellent students

committed to their own personal development and to

rewarding professional careers find that their Illinois State

Honors education prepares them well for professional

schools, graduate schools, and for satisfying employment

after they graduate. Honors students enjoy the benefits of a

small college in the rich context of a large multipurpose uni-

versity. The University offers Honors students early registra-

tion; special courses, taught by distinguished teachers and

scholars; close, caring personal advisement by Honors

Program advisors; unique opportunities for undergraduate

research with world-class faculty scholars; special living

accommodations which bring them into close acquaintance

with other Honors students in academic and social programs;

special awards and recognition; and other benefits.

Successful graduates of the Honors Program attend top

law schools, medical schools, and graduate schools. They

also obtain outstanding employment in a wide array of pro-

fessions and careers.

ADMISSION TO THE HONORS PROGRAM

Admission to the Honors Program is based on a variety

of parameters. In keeping with the Illinois State University

mission which describes us as a “diverse community of

scholars,” we are looking for highly motivated students who

are committed to their careers and their community; who

have demonstrated success in and out of the classroom; who

are determined to have a positive impact on the university

during their tenure here and on their society after they gradu-

ate; and who offer the University diversity of discipline,

background, and thinking. Applications require a personal

statement designed to give the Honors Admissions

Committee a sense of how motivated an applicant is to pur-

sue academic work and to participate in the cultural life of

the University. Students already enrolled in the University

and incoming transfer students interested in Honors experi-

ence and participation may also apply for admission to the

Program, and must also submit a personal statement.

Acceptance into the program is based on the analysis of all

information submitted in applications.

ACADEMIC SCHOLARSHIPS FOR NEW

STUDENTS

Illinois State University offers scholarship programs to

support academically talented new freshmen and transfer

students. University-wide scholarship programs are listed

below, but various departments, schools, and colleges offer

their own academic scholarships, many of which are for

new students. For further information, contact the Office of

Admissions, the Honors Program, the Scholarship

Resource Office within the Financial Aid Office, or the col-

lege or department/school associated with the program of

study in which the student is interested. See also the

Financial Assistance section of this catalog, which details

additional academic scholarship programs.

Presidential Scholarships: Presidential Scholarships

are awarded to outstanding students based on academic per-

formance, without regard to financial need. Recipients of

these scholarships are chosen on the basis of academic

accomplishments, scores on college admissions tests

(ACT/SAT), demonstrated leadership qualities, evidence of

commitment to service as well as an on-campus interview.

Presidential Scholars receive an annual $8,000 award,

renewable for up to four years contingent on the student’s

continued attainment of a 3.30 cumulative grade point

average (GPA) and satisfactory progress in the

Presidential Scholars Program. Finalists in National Merit

and National Achievement Program competitions who

enroll as Presidential Scholars and who list Illinois State

as their first-choice school receive an additional $2,000

for the freshman year.

The application for admission to the University will

determine eligibility to apply for the Presidential

Scholarship. Qualified applicants will be sent an invita-

tion to apply for the scholarship on a rolling basis begin-

ning mid October.

Recent Presidential Scholars have an average grade

point average of 4.30 on a 4.00 scale, have ACT compos-

ite scores in the lower 30s and higher, and demonstrate

other meritorious traits as evidenced by their overall high

school records.

Presidential Scholarship winners are automatically

admitted to the University’s Honors Program and the

Presidential Scholars Program, an exclusive academic pro-

gram combining some of the best courses in the University

with a student-selected course of study, involving Honors

Program advisors and selected professors around the

University. The program is designed to offer participants

the advantages of a small liberal arts college within the

framework of an outstanding multipurpose university. This

program is international in character, requiring an interna-

tional studies experience and foreign language study. It also

has a service learning component, which enables students

to earn academic credit for community service by bring-

ing them into contact with local professionals, depending

on student interest and career goals.

Honors Scholarship: The Honors Program maintains

a program of academic scholarships to support talented

new freshmen in the Honors Program. These are tuition

scholarships only for full-time study during the freshman

year. Students are eligible to be considered for these

scholarships when they have applied for and been accept-

ed into the Honors Program. To ensure full consideration,

Academic Services and Opportunities

Pgs 01 - 48 CAS mary(2).qxp:Pgs 01-52.qxp 3/30/10 9:37 AM Page 38

39Academic Services and Opportunities

students should submit their applications, available from

the Honors Program, no later than March 1st. Students

who have applied for a Presidential Scholarship are auto-

matically considered for the Honors Scholarship and do

not need to submit a separate application.

Honors students already enrolled at Illinois State are

invited each spring to apply for tuition scholarships for the

following summer and academic year.

ACADEMIC PROGRAMS IN HONORS

Honors Courses: Honors students enjoy special sec-

tions of regular university courses, including courses in the

General Education Program. They may also enroll in special

courses taught by the university’s distinguished scholars and

teachers, including Advanced Colloquia on various topics,

Independent Honors Study, Honors Undergraduate

Research, and Honors Service Learning. Among the courses

offered by the Honors Program are those listed at the end of

this section of the catalog.

Students may also complete an “In-Course” contract,

negotiated with the faculty member, specifying require-

ments for Honors credit. Work completed in an Honors

section or through an approved In-Course contract will

result in an “H” on the transcript, reflecting Honors cred-

it, for students enrolled in the Honors Program.

Opportunities for Undergraduate Research and

Scholarship: The Honors Program sponsors several pro-

grams designed to help students pursue research and schol-

arship as undergraduates. This is an especially important

opportunity for students aiming for advanced study in grad-

uate or professional schools. Honors students have used

such research opportunities as a basis for publishing arti-

cles, networking with professors in their disciplines, and

receiving national scholarships and academic prizes. The

Program provides financial support for research through

two programs: Honors Research Mentorships and the sum-

mer Undergraduate Research Grants. Contact the Program

for information about special curricular options involving

undergraduate research.

Senior Professionals of Illinois State University:

The Honors Program works with an organization of retired

professionals in Central Illinois and Senior Professionals

of Illinois State University to offer a mentoring experience

for Honors students at the University. The organization

consists of retired individuals from various professions,

including lawyers, judges, university faculty and adminis-

trators, business executives, accountants, physicians, den-

tists, and numerous other professionals. These

professionals mentor honors students, helping them make

connections in their chosen fields, offering them advice

regarding their professional aspirations, providing social

opportunities for them, and making scholarships available

to them. This is a great opportunity, available only to

Illinois State Honors students. Honors students may apply

to participate in Senior Professionals Program at any time

during their academic careers at Illinois State.

Individually Designed Curricula: Honors students

may, with the advice of select faculty members and Honors

Program advisors, participate in the design of their own edu-

cational curricula, reflecting their special interests and goals.

This option, called the Faculty Colleague Program, includes

individualized curricula for academic majors and minors and

for General Education. It allows outstanding students the

ability to shape for themselves useful curricular options that

might not be available at any other university.

Presidential Scholars Program: The Presidential

Scholars Program is an exclusive and unique academic pro-

gram which offers students holding Presidential Scholarships

special curricula both in General Education and in their

major course of study; opportunities for study abroad; and

select service learning experiences. Presidential Scholars in

this program enjoy special social activities, such as dinners

with the President, and special advisement. For more infor-

mation, see the section about Academic Scholarships in the

Honors section of this catalog.

Residential Programs for Honors Students: Students

in the Honors Program may choose to live in Honors House

in Hewett-Manchester Halls. Honors House offers select

social, cultural, and intellectual programs for students. The

sense of community found in Honors House makes it a popu-

lar residence for Honors students.

Competitive National and International

Scholarships: The Honors Program maintains information

about prestigious national and international scholarships.

Many Illinois State students are eligible and can compete

successfully for these scholarships. The Program assists stu-

dents in applying for scholarships such as the Rhodes,

Fulbright, Goldwater, Truman, Marshall, and Udall

Scholarships, and many others. Students interested should

attend scholarship informational workshops scheduled by the

Honors Program, and they should contact the Honors

Office for further information.

Honors students are required to maintain a minimum

cumulative Grade Point Average of 3.30 and are required to

complete three hours of Honors credit each semester

(excluding summer term).

Honors Probation: Students whose cumulative GPA

falls between 3.00 and 3.29 will be placed on Honors

Probation, which allows them the opportunity to raise their

GPA while enjoying the benefits of the Honors Program.

Students must earn a minimum GPA of 3.30 each semester

they are on Honors Probation and must raise their cumula-

tive GPA to 3.30 within two semesters. First semester fresh-

Participation Requirements: Full-time Honors students

must complete three credit hours of Honors coursework each

fall and spring semester. Part-time Honors students must

complete three credit hours of Honors coursework for every

15 credit hours completed during the fall and spring semes-

ters. Students who complete more than three hours of honors

credit may use these hours toward the fulfillment of this par-

ticipation requirement in a later semester. Honors students

who complete 24 hours of Honors coursework are exempt

from further participation requirements. Students can meet

these participation requirements by enrolling in Honors sec-

tions of regular courses, Honors Colloquia, Independent

Honors Study, Honors Thesis, Undergraduate Research

Participation or through an In-Course Honors Contract.

Details about applying for In-Course Honors Contracts are

available through the Honors Office. All In-Course Contracts

are due in the Honors Office no later than the 15th day of the

fall or spring semester.

Suspension for Non-Participation: Honors students

who do not meet the participation requirement for the fall

or spring semester will be placed on Honors Suspension for

the upcoming semester. Honors students on suspension

may not participate in the early registration period and will

be assigned to a later registration date. To regain good

standing, suspended Honors students must complete three

hours of Honors credit during the semester they are on

Honors Suspension. Honors students who do not meet this

requirement, or who subsequently fail to meet the partici-

pation requirement will be dropped from the program and

will not be eligible for readmission.

ACADEMIC HONORS

Dean’s Lists: Undergraduates who meet high academic

standards, as established by the college of their major, are

included in a Dean’s List issued each semester. Eligible stu-

dents must complete 12 or more graded hours during the

semester. Courses completed after the official end of the

semester and courses taken with a CT/NC option will not

be counted for this purpose.

The Dean’s List for the Colleges of Applied Science and

Technology, Arts and Sciences, Education, Fine Arts, and

Mennonite College of Nursing will include those students

whose grade point averages place them among the top ten

percent of those students majoring within the college based

on their semester GPA. The Dean’s List in the College of

Business will include only undergraduate students majoring

in business who have completed 12 or more semester hours

with an overall semester grade point in the top ten percent,

and at least a 3.33 GPA for all courses taken during the

semester. Courses completed after the official end of the

semester and courses taken with a credit/no credit option

will not be counted for this purpose. Students whose major

does not place them in one of the six colleges that offer

classes and whose semester grade point average is within the

top ten percent of the University are identified on the list of

the Vice President and Provost.

Robert G. Bone Scholarship: Bone Scholarships are

the highest academic honor awarded to undergraduates,

and many of them are awarded to Honors students. The

University each year names 14 outstanding junior under-

graduates as Robert G. Bone Scholars. Robert G. Bone was

president of Illinois State from 1956 to 1967, and was so

highly regarded by the University community that these spe-

cial scholarships were established to honor his memory.

Undergraduates can receive no higher honor from the

University than to be awarded the Bone Scholarship. These

scholarships recognize superior academic records, broad

academic achievement, notable community and campus ser-

vice, and demonstrated leadership. Students must be nomi-

nated during spring semester of their junior year in order to

apply for this award, and they must complete a rigorous

application process in order to be selected. A university-

wide committee, organized by the Honors Program,

reviews applications and makes selections.

Charles W. Bolen Senior Professionals Honors

Student Award: Honors students mentored by Senior

Professionals are eligible to apply for the $1,000 Charles

W. Bolen Award. Awards are given each spring based on

applicants’ involvement with the Senior Professionals

Program, academic accomplishments, and campus and

community involvement.

munity, giving students the opportunity to develop academ-

ic networks, and leadership and social skills. Honor

societies specific to the various academic disciplines are

sponsored by different academic departments at Illinois

State, while general honor societies are sponsored at the

Additional Academic Opportunities

UNDERGRADUATE TEACHING

ASSISTANTS

Undergraduate Teaching Assistantships (UTA) are

available in nearly all departments of the University to

juniors and seniors who have demonstrated excellence in a

particular discipline and high overall scholastic achieve-

ment. The purpose of the program is to assist the faculty in

the improvement of instruction and to provide UTAs with

a valuable learning opportunity.

Undergraduate Research Assistantships (URA) are

available in selected departments for students who have

demonstrated excellence in a particular discipline with sig-

nificant potential in research. The purpose of the program

is to work closely with faculty members and to provide

students valuable opportunities for research.

The responsibilities and nature of the UTA and URA

assignments are determined by the departments and col-

leges. Some departments provide the opportunity for cred-

it to be earned by the UTA under a General Offerings

course (291 Seminar: Undergraduate Teaching Assistants).

Three hours is the maximum amount of this credit that may

be allowed for graduation. Tuition and fees are assessed in

the usual manner for all credit earned in the UTA and URA

experiences. Application forms are available in the depart-

mental and college offices.

UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH

Research is considered a vital component in the devel-

opment of undergraduates at Illinois State. All students

have the opportunity and are encouraged to participate in

scholarly research during their university experience.

Illinois State explicitly views research as more than

the traditional concept of expanding basic knowledge,

favoring a definition that requires the application of such

knowledge in resolving societal problems. Students have

the opportunity to work in collaboration with

Distinguished Professors and Outstanding University

Researchers. As is true for all research, undergraduate

students should ensure that any research projects involv-

ing living human subjects have been approved by the

Institutional Review Board (IRB). Research projects

involving living animals require the approval of the

Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC).

Research involving biohazards must be reviewed by the

Institutional Biosafety Committee (IBC). If questions

exist, discuss this with your faculty supervisor or contact

Research Ethics and Compliance, Professional

Development Building at (309) 438-8451.

Student research, scholarship, and creative accomplish-

ment are showcased each spring in the Undergraduate

Research Symposium sponsored by the Graduate School,

Research and Sponsored Programs, Milner Library, and the

Honors Program. Students must be enrolled and engaged in

research under the direction of a faculty mentor.

The symposium recognizes and promotes student

research, scholarship and creative achievement by providing

a professional setting in which students present. For more

information about the Research Symposium, please visit

www.grad.ilstu.edu/symposium.

In addition to recognizing and encouraging research at

the undergraduate level, this event will also provide pro-

fessional advancement experience. Presenters at the sym-

posium are eligible to apply for travel reimbursement for

research presented at off-campus professional conferences.

Funds are available through the Graduate School when

matched by department/school funding.

English Language Institute (Hudelson Building),

(309) 438-2072; email: ELI@IllinoisState.edu; or

Website: www.ELI.ilstu.edu

Illinois State University’s English Language Institute

(ELI) provides a special non-degree intensive program (20-

hours per week) in English as a Second Language with equal

emphasis on both communicative and academic needs for

international students who wish to increase their English

proficiency for college-level work or for international stu-

dents on exchange programs. After the first semester, qual-

ifying students can enroll in one regular University class in

addition to their ELI program. In general, students enroll at

ELI as full-time students for a semester or more.

Although admission to ELI does not guarantee subse-

quent admission to a degree program at the University, ELI

students who attain a satisfactory TOEFL score can be

admitted to a degree program at the University, provided

they also meet the other requirements for admission. Hence,

international students who do not have the minimum

TOEFL score for admission to a degree program are

encouraged to attend ELI first to prepare for admission to

such a program at the University. Most students live in

the University’s campus housing, which gives them a

chance to interact with students of all backgrounds.

International applicants who meet all other academic

criteria for admission but whose TOEFL score is less than

550 (paper-based), 213 (computer-based), or 79 (iBT) may

be admitted to a degree program. In such cases, students will

be required to attend courses at the English Language

Institute (ELI) at their own expense and remain in the pro-

gram until their English proficiency improves to the level

required for University enrollment.

Preparation for Graduate School

PREPARATION FOR GRADUATE STUDY

While many graduates proceed immediately to the

working world upon receipt of their bachelor’s degree, oth-

ers choose to pursue their education further.

Requirements for admission to advanced study vary

according to the profession as well as among the schools.

Thus, a student planning to enter a professional school

should seek specific admission information from the school

he or she plans to attend. Preparation for admission to a pro-

fessional or graduate school consists of (1) a broad educa-

tional experience, (2) courses that meet the specific

admission requirements of the school the student plans to

attend, (3) major and minor subjects that allow for concen-

trated study in a field of interest and that provide an alterna-

tive career direction if it becomes desirable, (4) relevant

work or research experience, and (5) standardized test

scores, such as the GRE, GMAT, LSAT, MCAT, etc.

GRADUATE SCHOOL

309 Hovey Hall, (309) 438-2583

The Graduate School offers master’s degree programs

in most fields in which undergraduate programs are avail-

able. Doctoral degree programs are available in Audiology,

Biological Sciences, Curriculum and Instruction,

Educational Administration, English Studies, Mathematics

Education, Nursing, School Psychology, and Special

Education. A Specialist in School Psychology degree is

offered as well as over 15 graduate certificates.

Students interested in graduate study at Illinois State

should consult the Graduate Catalog for admission

requirements and available programs. It is recommended

Academic Services and Opportunities

Pgs 01 - 48 CAS mary(2).qxp:Pgs 01-52.qxp 3/30/10 9:37 AM Page 45

that undergraduates contemplating future education take

the necessary standardized test in the early part of their

senior year. These test scores, along with transcripts, usual-

ly are necessary not only for admission but to attain various

forms of financial support, e.g., Graduate Assistantships.

Further information also may be obtained from departmen-

tal/school offices or at www.grad.ilstu.edu.

Preparation for Professional

Study

ENGINEERING

Illinois State University Physics Department directs a

joint Engineering/Physics program shared with a partner

engineering university such as the University of Illinois or

Bradley University. Students begin at Illinois State and

transfer to their chosen partner engineering university after

completing 90 semester hours. Students receive a B.S. in

Engineering from the partner university upon completion of

their Engineering requirements. They receive a second B.S.

in Physics from Illinois State upon transferring back 30

approved hours from the engineering university. Students

major in Engineering Physics while at Illinois State.

The Engineering Physics program is listed under the

Physics programs section of the Undergraduate Catalog.

Engineering Physics majors benefit from small class size and

close student-faculty interactions in the Physics Department.

This five-year program offers greater depth than the average

engineering curriculum and provides students with the addi-

tional problem solving and scientific foundations needed to

design the rapidly changing technologies of the future. Due to

the sequential nature of engineering curricula, it is important

that appropriate course selections be made. Interested stu-

dents should contact the Department of Physics at (309) 438-

8756 or info@phy.ilstu.edu early in their academic careers

for help in developing an appropriate plan of study.

LAW

Law schools do not require any specific courses or

undergraduate majors. A committee of the Association of

American Law Schools has recommended that the prelaw

student keep in mind three basic objectives in planning an

undergraduate program: education for articulate oral and

written expression; education for greater understanding of

human institutions and values; and education to develop the

skills of conceptual analysis. The committee has emphasized

the need for a broad, liberal education that develops the stu-

dent’s intellectual interests rather than an education directed

too pointedly toward later professional training and practice.

Students planning to apply for admission to law school

should consult the University’s prelaw advisor, Dr. Robert

C. Bradley, Department of Politics and Government, (309)

438-8944, for information about the Law School

Admissions Test and for assistance in selecting and apply-

ing to suitable law schools.

HEALTH PROFESSIONS

Students who plan to apply to professional school

usually major in one of the departments in the College of

Arts and Sciences, but they can major in any subject with

careful planning. Majors in Biological Sciences or

Chemistry usually are elected because several specific

preprofessional course requirements can be applied toward a

major in these fields. However, a major in any one of a num-

ber of other departments in the College is appropriate for

many students who have a specific career goal in mind.

Economics, foreign languages, mathematics, physics, psy-

chology, sociology, and speech pathology and audiology are

several examples of academic areas that have application to

specialties within the health professions.

Minimum admission requirements to colleges of

medicine, dentistry, and veterinary medicine are dis-

cussed below. Further information about admission pro-

cedures to these and other health-related professional

colleges can be obtained by contacting the preprofession-

al advisor in the School of Biological Sciences, (309)

438-8252 or by going on line to www.bio.ilstu.edu.

Medicine: Admission requirements of individual

medical colleges are set forth in Medical School

Admissions Requirements—United States and Canada.

Orders for this book should be addressed to:

Association of American Medical Colleges

2450 N. Street, NW

Publications Department

Washington, DC 20037-1129

To order by phone: (202) 828-0416, fax (202) 828-1123,

or on the Website: at www.aamc.org.

Specific course requirements of medical schools in the

state of Illinois can be met by taking the following courses:

Chemistry 140, 141, 230, 231, 232, and 233

Biological Sciences 196, 197

Physics 108, 109

Behavior Sciences (9 hours)

English and Speech (9 hours)

Mathematics 145, 146 are recommended

Other specific course requirements usually are met by

completion of the General Education program. It should

be understood that a careful selection of general educa-

tion and elective courses beyond the specific admission

requirements can make the applicant more competitive.

Although a few students are accepted for enrollment

in medical college after completion of 90 semester hours,

they are distinct exceptions. Most students should antici-

pate the completion of the requirements for a bachelor’s

degree with the following approximate timetable:

1. Completion of specific course requirements by the end

of the junior year.

2. Medical College Admission Test taken in the spring of

or the summer following the junior year.

Academic Services and Opportunities

Pgs 01 - 48 CAS mary(2).qxp:Pgs 01-52.qxp 3/30/10 9:37 AM Page 46

3. Medical College application process begun in June,

preceding senior year.

Dentistry: Admission policies of individual dental

schools are set forth in Official Guide to Dental Schools.

Book orders should be addressed to:

American Dental Education Association

1625 Massachusetts Avenue, NW

Washington, DC 20036-2212

To order by phone: (202) 667-9433 or on the Website:

www.adea.org

In addition to the completion of the General Education

program, the following courses would meet the minimum

specific course requirements for Illinois dental schools:

Chemistry 140, 141; CHE 230, 231; 232-233; 242 or 342.

Biological Sciences 196, 197

Physics 108, 109

Most students enter dental school after three or four

years of preprofessional studies. The minimum require-

ment for admission to dental schools in the state of

Illinois is two years of college, even though most such

applicants are unsuccessful. It is therefore advised that

students anticipate at least a three-year program with the

following timetable:

1. Completion of biology and chemistry course require-

ments by the end of the sophomore year.

2. Dental Admission Test taken in April of the sopho-

more year or by October of the junior year.

3. Dental college application process is begun in the sum-

mer preceding the junior year.

Veterinary Medicine: Illinois residents find it exceed-

ingly difficult to gain admission to colleges of veterinary

medicine outside the state. Students should therefore direct

their attention largely to the admission policies of the

University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine.

Specific course requirements: 5 semesters of biology

with laboratory, including 3 semesters of 200- or 300-level

courses; 4 semesters of chemistry, including organic

chemistry and biochemistry; 2 semesters of physics; 2

semesters of English; 4 semesters of humanities and social

sciences. One semester of animal science is recommended.

Some two-year students are accepted, but the majority of

successful candidates have 3 or 4 years of preprofessional

study. Students are therefore advised to plan their program

for completion of the requirements for admission to veteri-

nary college by the end of the sophomore year. A four-

year program leading to a bachelor’s degree should be

anticipated in the event that early application to veterinary

college is not successful.

Degree Requirements

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

FOR GRADUATION

The following graduation requirements apply to all

students. Meeting graduation requirements is the individ-

ual responsibility of each student. The student and advi-

sor should check the student's program of courses

frequently to ensure that the student is fulfilling the fol-

lowing graduation requirements (all references to hours

indicate semester credit hours).

A. Total Hours: The actual hour requirement for an

undergraduate degree varies by the program or com-

bination of programs that a student elects. A student

must have a minimum of 120 hours of credit accept-

able toward graduation. Some courses may not count

toward graduation. These restrictions are noted in the

course descriptions. Some curricula or combinations

of fields require additional hours. If all specified

requirements are completed with fewer than 120

hours, a student must elect sufficient additional

course work to total at least 120 hours.

B. Specific B.A./B.S. Requirements: There are a variety

of baccalaureate degrees. Students graduating from

B.A. or B.S. degree programs must meet specific

requirements beyond major and other graduation

requirements. A student pursuing the B.A. degree will

acquire knowledge of a foreign language as demon-

strated by successful completion of LAN 115 (or the

equivalent). A student seeking a B.A. degree takes

LAN 115 in place of Middle Core Quantitative

Reasoning. A student pursuing the B.S. degree will

complete a three-hour natural science, mathematics,

statistics, or technology (SMT) course beyond General

Education requirements. (See Degree Programs.)

NOTE: All graduates of the College of Arts and

Sciences must satisfy a foreign language graduation

requirement that may be met by: 3 years of one for-

eign language in high school or completion of the

second semester or higher of college-level foreign

language with a passing grade or equivalent profi-

ciency as determined by examination. Students who

have successfully completed one semester of college

foreign language credit may elect to satisfy this

requirement by studying abroad in an approved pro-

gram in a non-English speaking country. American

Sign Language may be used to fulfill this require-

ment by transfer credit or by proficiency.

C. General Education: There are three ways to com-

plete General Education requirements at Illinois

State University. The first way is to complete

Illinois State's General Education Program. The sec-

ond way is to complete the Illinois Transferable

General Education Core Curriculum available

through the Illinois Articulation Initiative (IAI). This

program, designed for transfer students, is a statewide

agreement between participating colleges and universi-

ties and some private schools that is designed to facili-

tate timely degree completion. The third way is to

complete a baccalaureate-oriented Associates Degree

(A.A. or A.S.) from a regionally accredited post sec-

ondary institution. The holder of an A.A. or A.S.

degree is admitted to Illinois State University with

junior standing and all General Education requirements

completed. (see Degree Programs)

D. Major-Minor Options: Each candidate for B.S. or

B.A. degrees must complete a major field of study.

Completion of a second major, a minor, or a second

minor is optional unless specified by the student's

major. A teacher education student who is a candidate

for a B.S., B.A., B.S. in Ed., or B.M.E. degree must

complete professional education requirements and a

major approved for teacher education. Some teacher

education programs require the completion of require-

ments for a second teaching field. A student may count

no more than nine hours from a major toward a minor

within the same department or school. This policy

applies to both first and second majors and minors.

Note: Students completing requirements for two majors

concurrently are eligible to receive only one degree.

The degree awarded is based on the degree correspond-

ing to the primary major. One diploma is issued to the

student upon completion of both majors and all other

degree requirements.

E. Senior College Hours: The senior college hours

(courses numbered 200 or above) must total at least 42

hours. Coursework transferred from other colleges and

universities is not counted as senior college credit if

freshmen and sophomores are regularly permitted to

enroll in such work. No credit from two-year colleges

may be counted as senior level.

F. Grade Point Average: The grade point average for all

courses taken at Illinois State University must be 2.00

grade point average of 2.00 (C) (or higher as required

by certain programs) in the courses required in the

major, and the minor if the student has a minor.

G. Removal of Incompletes: A student may not graduate

with incomplete grades. Each Incomplete grade (I) must

be removed at least six weeks before December or May

graduation, or two weeks before August graduation.

ACADEMIC POLICIES AND PRACTICES

Pgs 049 - 88 mary(2).qxp:Pgs 053 - 102.qxp 3/30/10 10:03 AM Page 49

H. Residence Requirements: Unless otherwise specified in

a specific program, at least 30 of the last 60 hours com-

pleted toward the baccalaureate degree must be earned at

Illinois State.

I. Time Limit for Courses as Prerequisites: Because

disciplinary knowledge advances and course content

changes as a consequence, some courses taken seven or

more years prior to an advance registration period will

not automatically be accepted as prerequisites for other

courses. When a department or school determines that

applicability of a course will lapse, it will designate this

in the prerequisite listing as “taken within x years.” For

example, for MAT 146, the prerequisites might read “C

or better in MAT 145 taken within 10 years required.”

J. Global Studies Requirement: Every student gradu-

ating from Illinois State University must have suc-

cessfully completed a course designated as a course in

the cultures and traditions of societies or peoples from

Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Latin America, or

Indigenous Peoples of the World. Such designations

are located in course descriptions.

K. Professional Practice and Independent Study: A stu-

dent may count no more than 16 hours of professional

practice courses (198, 298, 398) toward graduation.

Some programs allow fewer than 16 hours. A student

may count no more than 6 hours of independent study

(287) credit toward graduation.

GRADUATION PROCEDURES

Application for Graduation: During the early part of

his or her senior year, the student must submit an

Undergraduate Application for Graduation to Student

Accounts, Campus Box 1210, Normal, IL., downloaded from

the following website address: IllinoisState.edu/icampus. Each

student should apply for graduation on or before the date spec-

ified in the Office of the University Registrar Calendar found

at www.registrar.ilstu.edu. The student pays a $25 graduation

fee when applying for graduation, unless the fee is covered by

an approved scholarship.

Academic Progress Summary: The Academic

Progress Summary (APS) is an assessment of the under-

graduate student’s academic progress toward completion

of requirements for the bachelor’s degree. This summary

may be requested by the student with a photo I.D. at the

University Registrar Service Center, 107 Moulton Hall,

Campus Box 2202 or by viewing Progress Towards My

Degree on iCampus.

For those programs requiring special audit considera-

tions, a senior evaluation will be prepared after the student

has submitted the Undergraduate Application for Graduation.

To determine specific program requirements (in addi-

tion to the general requirements for graduation stated

above), students should consult the following sections of

the Undergraduate Catalog: (1) the General Education

requirements; (2) the specific requirements for the major

and minor fields of study; and, if the student seeks teacher

certification, (3) the University-wide Teacher Education

program requirements in the Undergraduate Catalog.

Double Majors: Students completing requirements

for two majors concurrently are eligible to receive only

one degree. The degree awarded is based on the degree

corresponding to the primary major. One diploma is

issued to the student upon completion of both majors and

all other degree requirements.

Commencement: Degrees are conferred and diplo-

mas awarded after the close of each semester and the

summer session. Commencement exercises are held in

December and M ay at the end of the semester.

Undergraduate students completing degree requirements

during the fall semester participate in Commencement

exercises in December; students completing degree

requirements during the spring semester or at the close of

the summer session following May Commencement may

participate in Commencement exercises in May.

Undergraduate students who are eligible to graduate and

want to walk across the stage in their commencement

ceremony must check YES o n the Un dergraduate

Application for Graduation and submit it by the pub-

lished deadline. An application must be on file and the

graduation fee paid by the deadline to participate in the

commencement ceremony. Note: Students participating

in Commencement will walk with the college in which

their primary major resides.

For more information regarding Commence-

ment, please visit the Commencement Website at

www.commencement.ilstu.edu.

Degrees with Honor Distinction: A student must have

completed at least 50 semester hours at Illinois State

University to be eligible for a degree with honor distinc-

tion. Students who have an accumulated GPA of 3.90

through 4.00 are graduated summa cum laude; those with a

GPA of 3.80 through 3.89 are graduated magna cum laude;

and those with a GPA of 3.65 through 3.79 are graduated

cum laude. Diploma and transcript notations of graduation

with cum laude, magna cum laude, and summa cum laude

honors are based on the cumulative GPA after the student’s

final graded semester.

Honor Distinction at Commencement: In order to be

recognized with an academic honor (summa, magna, cum

laude) distinction at Commencement, students must have

completed at least 50 semester hours at Illinois State

University and have a qualifying GPA (refer to Degrees with

Honor Distinction), both based on the semester prior to

Commencement. For example, students graduating in May or

August must have both hours and GPA completed in the pre-

vious fall semester. Students meeting these requirements wear

an honor cord as part of their academic regalia at

Commencement, and their names will appear in the

Commencement program with the honor denoted. Diploma

and transcript notations of graduation with cum laude, magna

cum laude, and summa cum laude honors are based on the

cumulative GPA after the student’s final graded semester.

Honors Program Designation at Commencement:

The following Honors Program designations are recog-

nized in the Commencement program: Honors Program

Scholar, Presidential Scholar, Honors Program Scholar

with Distinction, and Departmental Honors.

Students are recognized for these awards in the

Commencement program if they fulfill individual desig-

nation requirements; the cumulative GPA from the semes-

ter prior to graduation is used to evaluate eligibility for

the designations as well as course and hour requirements

that have been completed or are in progress. Students

graduating in May or August who participate in May

Commencement are evaluated based on the cumulative

GPA at the end of the previous fall semester; students

graduating in December who participate in the December

Commencement are evaluated based on the cumulative

GPA at the end of the previous summer session.

Transcript and diploma (as applicable) notations of

these designations are based on the cumulative GPA after

the student’s final semester and the successful completion

of designation requirements.

Students who have been awarded the Robert G. Bone

Scholarship are also recognized in the Commence-

ment program.

Diplomas: Diplomas are issued to students after com-

pletion of all degree requirements, including major(s),

minor(s), general education, professional education, if

applicable, and other specific degree requirements. Students

completing requirements for two majors concurrently are eli-

gible to receive only one degree. The degree awarded is

based on the degree corresponding to the primary major.

One diploma is issued to the student upon completion of

both majors and all other degree requirements. Majors are

not printed on the diploma; however, all majors and minors

are printed on the official transcript.

General Academic Policies

COURSE REGISTRATIONAND WITHDRAWAL

Course Registration: Students at Illinois State

University register through the iCampus Portal at

www.icampus.ilstu.edu. Help with registration may be

obtained at the University Registrar Service Center, 107

Moulton Hall, or by calling (309) 438-2188. For office

hours visit the Website at www.registrar.ilstu.edu.

A student at Illinois State University is responsible for

following registration procedures to assure valid registration

for courses. Work taken in a given session must be regis-

tered for in that session. A student may not attend a class for

which they are not properly registered. A correct registration

is each student’s individual responsibility. The University

reserves the right to void the registration of any student who

becomes ineligible for enrollment.

Registration may be accomplished during the advance

registration period or the additional registration periods

prior to the start of the semester. New freshman may regis-

ter during the summer Preview Program and new transfer

students may register during the Transfer Days Program.

Students are encouraged to register during these programs

because of the wider selection of courses open to them at

that time. They may also register just before the opening of

the semester. For advance registration, the date and time of

registration will be available on the iCampus Portal approxi-

mately one week prior to advance registration.

Course Registration Changes: A student who is already

registered for a particular semester and desires to change his or

her schedule before the deadline for doing so should follow the

instructions available on the Registrar’s Website at www.regis-

trar.ilstu.edu.

Withdrawal Policy—Dropping a Course or

Courses: Students are strongly advised to complete all

courses in which they enroll and are encouraged to avoid

withdrawing from any course after the program change

period unless absolutely necessary.

The following policy applies to students who drop a

course or courses but maintain an enrolled status within

the University: A student may withdraw from a course

during the program change period without the withdrawal

being shown on the transcript. (A student should consult

the Registrar’s website at www.registrar.ilstu.edu to

obtain specific dates.)

After the tenth day of classes, but prior to the end of the

eighth week of classes during any regular semester, a student

with photo identification may withdraw from a full semester

course by reporting to the the University Registrar Service

Center, 107 Moulton Hall. Course withdrawal deadline

information can be found on the Registrar’s website at

www.registrar.ilstu.edu.

A student should consult the University Registrar

Service Center for questions regarding refunds and for

specific withdrawal dates during any instructional term.

For courses taken during a term lasting less than a regular

semester, a proportional withdrawal period will apply.

A grade of F will be given to students who (1) fail to

withdraw officially from a course in compliance with the

above procedure, or (2) register for a course but do not com-

plete course requirements.

Upon the written recommendation of a licensed physi-

cian or clinical psychologist, or in other unusual circum-

stances, a student may be granted permission to withdraw

officially from a course for medical, psychological, or

other similar reasons after the official withdrawal period

upon receiving approval from the University Registrar, or

his designee. If approval is granted, a grade of WX will be

awarded.

Withdrawal Policy—Dropping All Courses: The fol-

lowing policy applies when a student drops all courses in

which he or she is enrolled, which is known as withdrawal

from the University. Students are strongly advised to com-

plete courses in which they are enrolled and not to withdraw

from the University unless absolutely necessary.

Before the end of the twelfth week of classes during

any regular semester, a student reports to the University

Registrar Service Center in 107 Moulton Hall or writes to

the Office of the University Registrar at Campus Box 2202

to withdraw from the University.

If a student’s written request to withdraw from the

University is granted, all grades will be assigned in the

same manner and under the same provisions as the regu-

lar course withdrawal guidelines. The instructor of each

course assigns a WX or letter grade as appropriate

depending on the date and circumstances of withdrawal.

If medical or other reasons make it impossible for the stu-

dent to follow the usual procedures, a letter requesting

withdrawal that explains the situation, with appropriate

documentation and the student’s signature, will be suffi-

cient. Withdrawals made by mail are addressed to Office

of the University Registrar, Illinois State University,

Campus Box 2202, Normal, IL 61790-2202, or by fax to

(309) 438-8652.

Regardless of the circumstances of withdrawal, the

student is responsible for returning any laboratory equip-

ment and library materials and paying for any parking

fines. The student must contact the University Housing

Services to obtain clearance from room and board obliga-

tions and to arrange for vacating the residence hall room.

The student should arrange with the Financial Aid Office

Academic Policies and Practices

Pgs 049 - 88 mary(2).qxp:Pgs 053 - 102.qxp 3/30/10 10:03 AM Page 54

to place any scholarship on leave or cancel it and make

arrangements for future financial assistance.

Arrangements for payment of loans must be made in the

Office of Student Accounts. Consult the Office of Student

Accounts for information on refunds.

A grade of F will be given to students who (1) do not

attend their courses but fail to withdraw from the

University before the specified final withdrawal date, and

to students who (2) register for a course but do not com-

plete course requirements. In unusual cases, exceptions

may be granted by the University Registrar.

Repetition of Course(s) Requirements: If a student

completes a course, or drops a course after the tenth day of

classes receiving a grade of WX, he or she may repeat that

course once. For students receiving a letter grade of B, C, D,

or F, the course repetition must occur at Illinois State

University and may not be taken under the credit/no credit

(pass/fail) option.

Students seeking to repeat a course a second time (a

third enrollment) must obtain permission from their academ-

ic advisor who will submit a substitution waiver form to the

University Registrar for final approval. When a course has

been repeated at Illinois State University, the most recent

grade (A, B, C, D, F) that the student earns will replace the

previous grade in the cumulative GPA calculation. A grade

of WX will not replace the previous grade.

The previous grade(s) will not be removed from the stu-

dent’s transcript, and the credit hours from only the last

attempt can be used toward meeting minimum hourly

requirements. Students repeating a course to improve their

GPA should be aware that many professional and graduate

schools recalculate GPAs to include all courses attempted.

Cross-listed Course Policy: Cross-listed courses are

offered by more than one department or school, but treat-

ed as one course for credit purposes. A cross-listed course

will be considered as one course regardless of the depart-

ment or school through which the student registered for

the course. This is a general rule that applies to all cross-

listed courses taken for any purpose.

Course Load Requirements: A full-time undergrad-

uate student carries between 12 and 17 hours. For enroll-

ment verification purposes, 12 hours is considered

full-time for undergraduate students. A student wishing to

carry more than 17 hours in a semester may seek permis-

sion to do so from the chairperson or director of his or her

major department or school (or their designees). The

granting of this permission will depend on the student’s

scholastic record. A freshman may not carry over 17

hours during his or her first semester.

A student considering enrolling in any classes, includ-

ing extension or correspondence, at another college or uni-

versity with concurrent registration at Illinois State

University should consult with his or her advisor.

Summer Academic Opportunities: The University

is operated on the semester plan and provides, in addition

to its fall and spring semesters, a summer session with

courses of varying lengths, and a variety of short-term

offerings. Courses are also offered off campus. Limited

student teaching and internship positions are available

during the summer session. Prospective students may

obtain information on summer course availability, and

other information for the session at the Registrar’s web-

site. Summer session students should refer to the

Undergraduate Catalog and Graduate Catalog for acade-

mic requirements. Admission to the University can be

arranged on a summer only basis. Further information can

be obtained by writing to the Office of Admissions,

Illinois State University, Campus Box 2200, Normal, IL

61790-2200, or by calling (800) 366-2478.

Evening and Off-Campus Classes: In addition to

courses offered during the regular school day, evening and

weekend classes are scheduled both on campus and off cam-

pus. For courses offered by Illinois State University, no dif-

ferentiation is made between credits earned on campus and

off campus. Inquiries concerning off-campus classes should

be directed to the Office of the Provost, (309) 438-7018.

Non-credit workshops, seminars, and conferences are sched-

uled by the Illinois State Conferencing Unit, (309) 438-2160.

FINAL EXAMINATIONS

Students who have no more than two final examinations

on the same day will be expected to take these examinations

as scheduled. A student concerned about having more than

two examinations scheduled for the same day should address

this concern prior to finals week: (1) The student brings a

photo ID to the University Registrar Service Center,

Moulton Hall 107, to request a form verifying that more than

two finals are scheduled on the same day, and (2) the student

then shares this form with the instructor when requesting an

exam be moved to a different date.

Students who are unable to take an examination due to

emergencies such as illness or injury, or religious reasons

should notify their instructor as soon as possible (in advance,

in the case of religious reasons) and make acceptable alter-

native arrangements. If an instructor does not consider an

excuse for missing a scheduled examination for the student,

the student may appeal the action to the department chair.

UNIVERSITY GRADING SYSTEM

Course Grades: Instructors assign a grade in each

course for which the student is registered. The course

instructor is responsible for correcting any error in grading.

The grade point equivalents are 4 for A, 3 for B, 2 for

C, 1 for D, and 0 for all other grades. The 0 value of F as

well as WF is computed in the student’s grade point aver-

age (GPA). The 0 value of grades I, AU, CR, CT, NC, and

WX is not computed in the student’s GPA. University

grades assigned undergraduate courses are:

A Excellent

B Good

C Satisfactory

Academic Policies and Practices

Pgs 049 - 88 mary(2).qxp:Pgs 053 - 102.qxp 3/30/10 10:03 AM Page 55

D Poor, But Passing

F Failing—Assigned to students who are (1) enrolled in a

course all semester but fail to earn a passing grade, or

who (2) stop attending a class without officially with-

drawing

WX Withdrawal—Assigned to students who officially

withdraw from a course before the quality of work can

be determined and before the dates specified in the

withdrawal policy

I Incomplete

AU Audit

CR Credit—Assigned to students who do satisfactory work

in a course which is offered on a Credit/No Credit

basis only

CT Credit—Assigned to students who earn an A, B, or C

grade in a course which they have elected to take under

the Credit/No Credit (CT/NC) option

NC No Credit—Assigned to students who (1) do not do

satisfactory work in a course which is offered on a

Credit/No Credit (CR/NC) basis only and to students

(2) who do not earn an A, B, or C grade in a course

that they have elected to take under the Credit/No

Credit (CT/NC) option

Incomplete: An incomplete (I) will be assigned to a stu-

dent who is doing passing work but finds it impossible,

because of reasons beyond her or his control (such as ill-

ness), to complete the required work by the end of the term.

The student must have attended class to within three weeks

of the close of the semester or to within one week of the

close of the summer session.

The instructor may specify the time by which the

required work must be completed, which may be no later

than the final class day of the corresponding term of the fol-

lowing academic year. For graduating students, an incom-

plete grade must be removed at least six weeks before

December or May commencement or two weeks before

August graduation. Students will not be allowed to gradu-

ate with Incompletes on their record.

When the Incomplete is assigned, the student, faculty

member, and the department chairperson or school director

must sign an Incomplete Permit form. The form will specify

the date by which the work must be completed, the default

grade (A, B, C, D, or F) that will be assigned if the work is

not completed by the specified date, and the nature of the

required work. If the instructor fails to file the appropriate

grade change by the specified date, the Incomplete will lapse

to the default grade specified. Exceptions to this policy may

be granted by the University Registrar.

Auditors: An auditor does not participate in the activity

of the class but is expected to attend regularly. A student

may register as an auditor in a class or classes if space is

available. An Audit (AU) designation will appear on the stu-

dent’s transcript when the instructor certifies that the student

has attended the class on a regular basis. If the student has

not attended regularly, a WX will be recorded on the tran-

script after the instructor has notified the Registrar’s Office

in writing that the student has not attended regularly. To

audit, a student must obtain a Request for Auditor

Registration from the University Registrar Service Center

or download it at www.registrar.ilstu.edu/forms, have the

instructor sign it and present the form at the University

Registrar Service Center. Students must register to audit a

course by the tenth day of classes in the semester, with

any exception having the approval of the chairperson of

the department or director of the school in which the

course is offered and the University Registrar. There is a

fee for auditing. Audited courses are considered part of

the student’s total load.

Credit/No Credit Courses: Certain courses in the

University are offered on a Credit/No Credit (CR/NC)

basis only. For these courses, students receive a grade of

CR (Credit) or NC (No Credit). The offering of a particular

course on a CR/NC basis only must be approved in

advance by the Office of the Provost.

Credit/No Credit Student Option (commonly called

Pass/Fail): An undergraduate student (except a first-semes-

ter freshman) who is not on academic probation may choose

to register in some courses under the option that allows the

student to be graded on the basis of CT (Credit) or NC (No

Credit) rather than on the basis of A, B, C, D, or F grades.

This CT/NC option is designed to encourage students to

enroll in courses they otherwise would not take. Some cours-

es, therefore, including those in a student’s major or minor,

may not be taken on the CT/NC option. Exceptions include

courses in the student’s major or minor field that are offered

only as credit/no credit (CR/NC) courses. No more than six

semester hours of work under the CT/NC option may be

taken each semester, with a maximum of 25 semester hours

under the CT/NC option presented for graduation. Although

an entry of CT (credit earned under the option) or NC (no

credit earned under the option) will be entered on the stu-

dent’s record, these entries are not used in computing the

student’s GPA.

No Inner Core or Middle Core course in the General

Education Program may be taken under the CT/NC option.

Students who plan to enter graduate or professional

schools should exercise caution in taking courses under

the CT/NC option because courses completed on a pass-

fail basis may adversely affect graduate admission oppor-

tunities. Such students should consult their academic

advisor prior to taking courses on a pass/fail basis.

A grade of CT is recorded when the grade submitted by

the instructor is A, B, or C. A grade of NC is recorded when

the grade submitted by the instructor is D or F.

Students electing the CT/NC option should do so as

part of the regular registration process. Students may not

elect the option after the tenth day of classes in the

semester. Students who have elected the CT/NC option

may return to the letter basis of grading before the last

date for withdrawing from a course, as specified on the

Registrar’s Website at www.registrar.ilstu.edu.

Academic Policies and Practices

Pgs 049 - 88 mary(2).qxp:Pgs 053 - 102.qxp 3/30/10 10:03 AM Page 56

Grade Point Average: To be eligible for graduation, a

student must have a minimum grade point average (GPA)

of 2.00 (C) in all courses taken at Illinois State University

for which grades of A, B, C, D, F, or WF are assigned.

Failures are considered in the total number of semester

hours taken in computing the GPA. The table below illus-

trates how grade points are counted to determine the GPA.

The GPA is computed by dividing grade points earned

by semester hours counted for GPA. In the case above, a

GPA of 2.66 is calculated by dividing 24 (total grade

points) by 9 (semester hours for GPA). Grades of WX,

WP, CT, CR, I, and NC do not affect the GPA.

Academic Progress Alert: The Academic Progress

Alert is an assessment of the undergraduate student’s per-

formance in each full-semester, 100-level course in which

the student is enrolled. This assessment is available

through the iCampus Portal at IllinoisState.edu/icampus at

the end of the first half of the semester.

ADDITIONAL ACADEMIC REQUIREMENTS

Class Attendance: The attendance regulation of the

University is based on two principles. First, students are

expected to attend class regularly; and second, students are

primarily responsible to the instructor in matters pertaining

to class attendance. Every student will be held responsible

for class attendance and successful completion of academic

work. Attendance regulations are intended to encourage stu-

dent maturity and are based on the assumption that academic

success is the student’s primary goal in college.

Illinois State University deeply values and supports the

required participation of students in Sanctioned University

Activities. Instructors will provide such students with rea-

sonable accommodations for completing missed exams,

quizzes, and the like. The Office of the Vice President of

Student Affairs will determine Sanctioned University

Activities. It is the responsibility of the student to (1) inform

instructors of scheduled absences in advance, (2) where pos-

sible and as soon as possible, provide a schedule of all

semester absences, and (3) arrange to complete missed class-

room work. Ultimately, students are responsible for material

covered in class. In the event of disagreement regarding this

policy, the issue will be directed to the appropriate Associate

Vice President for Academic Affairs for arbitration.

The University will accommodate, within reason, stu-

dents whose religious obligations require absence from class.

Students who are unable to attend class or take examinations

for religious reasons should consult their instructors in

advance about alternative arrangements.

Class Standing: Students in a bachelor’s degree pro-

gram are classified as freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and

seniors. A student must have completed 30 semester hours

to be classified as a sophomore, 60 hours to be classified as

a junior, and 90 hours to be classified as a senior. Students

not working toward a degree at Illinois State are listed as

Unclassified Students.

75 Hour Limit on Undeclared Student Status: Illinois

State University requires all students to have a declared

major upon completion of 75 hours of college-level course-

work, including transfer credit. At 75 hours earned, students

who are undeclared will have their next semester’s schedule

dropped unless they successfully complete an appeal process

through the Office of Enrollment Management and

Academic Services. To be eligible for financial aid and in

order to be consistent with federal financial aid guidelines,

Illinois State students with 75 hours or more must be

enrolled in a major program leading to a degree. For further

information on this policy and on finding and declaring a

major, see FindYourMajor.IllinoisState.edu.

Major Field(s) of Study: Students may select a major

field of study at the time of admission unless the field they

choose has special admissions standards. Students who are

undeclared majors are encouraged to select a major field of

study as soon as possible. The major and minor fields of

study available at Illinois State are described later in this cata-

log. A student may complete the requirements for two

majors, both of which will be identified on the student’s tran-

script provided all requirements are completed in both majors

and the degree is awarded. When a student double majors, the

student indicates only one major for purposes of registration.

Unless otherwise specified in a particular program, students

may use a specific course to meet requirements for a major

and a second major. Note: Students completing requirements

for two majors are eligible to receive one degree. The degree

awarded is based on the degree for the primary major. One

diploma is issued to the student upon completion of both

majors and all other degree requirements.

Change of Primary or Secondary Major: A student

wishing to enter a second major or change majors must

consult the chairperson of the department or director of

the school (or their designees) offering the major.

Program Specific Admission Criteria: Illinois State

University regulates admission to designated programs when

the number of students seeking admission exceeds the avail-

able educational resources of the department or school.

Supplementary selection criteria for admission may need

to be met for specific majors. These criteria may be based on

scholastic achievement, prerequisite course work and/

or may consist of auditions, portfolios, work experience,

etc. Selection criteria can be obtained from

FindYourMajor.IllinoisState.edu, the Office of Admissions

(for new students) or the intended major department or

school advisor.

Academic Policies and Practices

Pgs 049 - 88 mary(2).qxp:Pgs 053 - 102.qxp 3/30/10 10:03 AM Page 57

Dismissal from Major: A student who is academi-

cally dismissed from the University will be dropped auto-

matically from his or her major. The student dropped

from the major will be classified as undeclared and will

receive academic advisement from the University College

Academic Advisement Center. In order to declare a major in

a department or school after being dropped, the student must

be accepted by the department or school in which he or she

desires to be a major.

Minor Field(s) of Study: Students often elect a

minor field of study. A student may elect to complete the

requirements for two minors, both of which will be iden-

tified on the student’s transcript upon receipt of degree. A

student wishing to enter a minor, second minor or change

minors consults with the academic department(s) offering

the minor. Unless otherwise specified in a particular pro-

gram, students may use a specific course to meet require-

ments for a minor and a second minor.

Certification Programs: Students who fail to maintain

the specific grade point average required by their teaching

or other certification program may be dismissed from that

program. At the option of the department or school, stu-

dents dropped from the program may pursue a degree in

their major or be classified as undeclared and will receive

academic advisement from University College Academic

Advisement. To become a candidate for a certification pro-

gram after being dropped, students must be accepted by the

department or school in which they desire to pursue a certi-

fication program.

Academic Good Standing: To maintain academic

good standing, a student must achieve a minimum cumu-

lative GPA of 2.00. The number of semester hours com-

pleted includes all college work done by the student.

However, only the grades earned at Illinois State are used

in computing the GPA.

“Academic Good Standing” status is necessary for

continued enrollment in the University and may be nec-

essary for eligibility to serve on various University com-

mittees and for participation in some co-curricular

activities. Academic Good Standing status does not guar-

antee admission to, or retention in, specific departments,

schools, or programs. Information concerning admission

to and retention in specific programs is listed in this

Undergraduate Catalog under the appropriate depart-

ment, school or program descriptions.

For satisfactory progress for financial aid purposes,

see Satisfactory Progress Policy in this catalog.

Academic Warning: Eac h semester (fall a nd

spring), the University identifies students that appear

to be in jeopardy of being placed on academic probation.

These students will be notified that they are on Academic

Warning. Students on Academic Warning can contact the

Julia N. Visor Academic Center for guidance on pro-

grams and services geared toward improving their acade-

mic standing. Information about Academic Warning can

be obtained from Julia N. Visor Academic Center,

12 Vrooman Ce nter, Campus Box 40 70, at

EMAS.IllinoisState.edu, or at (309) 438-7100.

Academic Probation: When a student’s cumulative

grade point average falls below a 2.00 on a 4.00 scale,

they are placed on academic probation. Students on acad-

emic probation are required to participate in Project

Success - a program designed to assist students in return-

ing to good academic standing. Information about

Academic Probation and Project Success can be obtained

from the Julia N. Visor Academic Center, 12 Vrooman

Center, Campus Box 4070, at EMAS.IllinoisState.edu, or

at (309) 438-7100.

Academic Dismissal: At the end of any semester,

except for summer session, when a student’s cumulative

grade point average is below a 2.00 a second or subsequent

time, he or she is dismissed from the University.

Academic Reinstatement: Students dismissed from

the University may petition the Reinstatement Committee

for permission to continue. Petitions must be received by

the appropriate deadlines to be considered. Additionally,

students can access petition information via the iCampus

Portal at IllinoisState.edu/icampus or by visiting the

Office of Enrollment Management and Academic

Services Website at EMAS.IllinoisState.edu. Students

who are reinstated and elect to postpone their enrollment

for a future term must reapply for that term.

Only students who have extenuating circumstances or

errors in their academic records should plan to petition for

reinstatement for the semester following their dismissal.

Former Illinois State Students Seeking Reinstatement

After Dismissal: Students wishing to return to Illinois State

after being away for one or more semesters must (1) meet

university-wide readmission requirements and deadlines; and

(2) be reinstated by the University Reinstatement Committee.

Application procedures, reinstatement information and dead-

lines can be found at the Office of Admissions Website at

IllinoisState.edu/admissions. Students who are reinstated and

elect to postpone their enrollment for a future term must

reapply for that term. Reinstated students are required to par-

ticipate in Project Success - a program designed to assist stu-

dents in returning to Academic Good Standing.

If a student attends any other higher educational institu-

tion after dismissal from Illinois State, he or she must indi-

cate such attendance on the readmission application and

supply an official transcript from the other school(s).

Students must have earned a C average (2.00/4.00) or higher

for all course work taken since last attending Illinois State

and have been in good academic standing at the last institu-

tion attended as a full- or part-time student.

Repeated failures to do satisfactory work may result in

permanent exclusion from the University.

New Start Policy: Students who leave Illinois State in a

degree program with less than a 2.00 cumulative grade-point

average (GPA) may be considered for readmission through

the New Start Policy. Applicants admitted through this poli-

Academic Policies and Practices

Pgs 049 - 88 mary(2).qxp:Pgs 053 - 102.qxp 3/30/10 10:03 AM Page 58

cy will begin with a new cumulative GPA calculated from

the point of their reentry.

Students may be considered for readmission through the

New Start Policy after being away from the University for

one full year (Example: A student who last attended the

University the Fall 2009 term cannot reenroll through the

New Start Policy until the Spring 2011 term.) and only when

the requirements of one of the following New Start cate-

gories are met:

1. Non-Traditional Student Option: Former Illinois

State students at least 25 years of age may be consid-

ered for readmission through this option. If they have

attended any college (including Illinois State) in the

three calendar years preceding re-enrollment at

Illinois State, they must have achieved at least a 2.50

GPA for that college work. Transfer credit will be

evaluated and appropriately awarded.

2. Veterans’ Option: Students who complete at least a

one-year tour of duty and present a discharge for rea-

sons other than dishonorable, and whose first atten-

dance at a college or university after discharge is at

Illinois State, may be considered for readmission

through this option.

3. Community College Transfer Option: Former Illinois

State students who earned 60 or fewer hours at Illinois

State prior to enrolling at a community college and

who subsequently earn at least 24 hours after being

away for one full year and earn a currently accepted

associate degree (A.A. or A.S.) from a community col-

lege with at least a 2.50 GPA may be considered for

readmission through this option. Transfer credit will be

evaluated and appropriately awarded.

The application process includes the submission of the

application for admission, official academic transcripts from

all schools attended since leaving Illinois State, and a state-

ment describing your potential to do well academically as

described on the application. In some cases, additional sup-

porting documents may be requested from the University in

order to complete your application. NOTE: Meeting the

minimum requirements does not guarantee re-admission.

Students are strongly encouraged to file an application as

soon as possible during the priority-filing period for the term

for which they are applying. Application deadlines are post-

ed on the Admissions Website at IllinoisState.edu/admis-

sions and on the application for admission.

Students may exercise the New Start Option only once.

Such students will have “New Start” indicated on their

transcript. New Start will affect only the cumulative GPA.

All grades earned at Illinois State, regardless of when

earned, will be used in the calculation of the major GPA,

the minor GPA, and graduation honors. Students who are

admitted through the New Start Policy will be admitted on

academic probation. Students who reenter under the New

Start Policy must follow the Undergraduate Catalog in

effect at the time of reentry. To be eligible for graduation, a

student must earn at least 30 semester hours at Illinois State

University after exercising New Start.

ADMINISTRATIVE WITHDRAWAL

In the rare event that a student exhibits serious psycho-

logical/medical problems that rise to the level of a direct

threat (high probability of substantial harm to self, others, or

property), the University will make an individualized and

objective assessment of the student’s ability to safely partici-

pate in University classes and activities and/or to reside in

University housing. In such instances, the University

reserves the right to take such actions as may be required

including asking a student to withdraw or administratively

withdraw a student from the University community. A stu-

dent may also be restricted from University property and/or

participation in University activities as a condition of the

administrative withdrawal.

ACADEMIC INTEGRITY

Students are expected to be honest in all academic work.

A student’s name on any academic exercise (theme, report,

notebook, paper, examination) shall be regarded as assur-

ance that the work is the result of the student’s own thought

and study. Offenses involving academic dishonesty include,

but are not limited to the following:

a. Cheating on quizzes or examinations occurs when any

student is found using or attempting to use any book,

paper, or other article, or assistance from any individual

intending to deceive the person in charge of the quiz or

examination with reference to his or her work. No books,

notes, papers or related articles shall be used at any quiz

or examination unless specifically authorized by the per-

son in charge. Conversation or other communication

between individuals in examinations and quizzes is for-

bidden except as authorized by the instructor.

b. Computer dishonesty is the unacknowledged or unau-

thorized appropriation of another’s program, or the

results of that program, in whole or in part, for a com-

puter-related exercise or assignment.

c. Plagiarism is the unacknowledged appropriation of

another’s work, words, or ideas in any themes, out-

lines, papers, reports, or computer programs. Students

must ascertain from the instructor in each course the

appropriate means of documentation. Submitting the

same paper for more than one course is considered a

breach of academic integrity unless prior approval is

given by the instructors.

d. Grade falsification is any attempt to falsify an assigned

grade in an examination, quiz, report, program, grade

book, or any other record or document.

e. Collusion occurs when students willfully give or receive

unauthorized or unacknowledged assistance on any

assignment. This may include the reproduction and/or

dissemination of test materials. Both parties to the collu-

sion are considered responsible. No individual may sub-

stitute for another in any quiz or examination.

PROFICIENCY AND PLACEMENT

EXAMINATIONS

Students at Illinois State University may receive cred-

it by examination through the following programs:

College Level Examination Program (CLEP) General

Examinations, Departmental Proficiency Examinations,

CLEP Subject Examinations, and the Advanced

Placement program. Students and prospective students are

advised to plan their course work and examination

attempts carefully because they may not receive credit by

examination for a course in which they have been

enrolled on the tenth day of classes.

CLEP General Examinations: Illinois State University

grants credit by examination toward General Education

requirements for the College Level Examination Program

under the following guidelines:

1. A student may receive credit for a maximum of 18

semester hours credit through CLEP General

Examinations.

2. A student who desires to take the CLEP General

Examinations should do so before enrolling for classes

at the University.

3. Credit earned through the CLEP General Examinations

shall count toward General Education and graduation

requirements only. A student may not use the CLEP

General Examinations to raise grades or remove failures

in courses already taken. All credit for CLEP General

Examinations shall be considered credit at the 100-level.

4. A student who is awarded credit in one or more areas of

the General Examinations should consult with his or her

advisor to select other appropriate basic and advanced

courses.

5. A student may not receive credit for both

an area of the CLEP General Examinations and previous-

ly earned course credit in the same area. For example, a

student who earned course credit in the Fine Arts (Art,

Music, Theatre) may not receive credit for a General

Examination in the Fine Arts area. Also, credit will not

be awarded for the General Examination areas in which

credit is earned through Departmental Proficiency

Examinations, Advanced Placement Examinations, or

CLEP Subject Examinations.

6. Students may take the CLEP General Examinations at

Illinois State at times scheduled by the University

Testing Office or at any CLEP Open Test Center.

Students may contact the University Testing Office,

346B Fell Hall, Campus Box 4060, (309) 438-2100, for

further information. Students who take the CLEP exami-

nations are responsible for the cost of the examination.

Pgs 049 - 88 mary(2).qxp:Pgs 053 - 102.qxp 3/30/10 10:03 AM Page 60

Departmental Proficiency Examinations: Depart-men-

tal proficiency examinations are offered in most 100-level and

in a limited number of 200-level courses. The purposes of the

examinations are to allow students to receive credit for knowl-

edge acquired previously and to allow students to enroll in

more advanced courses or to add breadth to their academic

programs. Proficiency examinations are optional and recom-

mended only for students who are unusually skilled in the dis-

cipline in which the examination is taken. Specific

information about the nature of a given examination should be

obtained directly from the appropriate departmental or school

office. Below are University guidelines and procedures relat-

ing to proficiency examinations:

1. The nature and content of each proficiency examination

shall be determined by the department or school in

which the course is offered. Standards of performance

required for receiving credit in a given course also shall

be determined by the department/school offering the

course; the level and quality of work required for satis-

factory performance on a proficiency examination is

equivalent to that required for a grade of C in the course.

2. Academic departments shall provide proficiency examina-

tions in most 100-level courses that are regularly listed in

the Undergraduate Catalog. Students will find a list

of courses in which proficiency examinations are

offered on the Office of University Registrar’s website

at www.registrar.ilstu.edu.

3. A description of each proficiency examination should

be available in the department or school offering the

examination. Students should contact the appropriate

department chairperson or school director for infor-

mation about a specific examination, including qualify-

ing experiences.

4. All Illinois State University students are eligible to take

proficiency examinations.

5. Letter grades will not be assigned for proficiency

examinations; therefore, the GPA will not be affected.

6. Credit earned in proficiency examinations may not be

used to raise grades or remove failures in courses in

which a student has been enrolled previously.

7. No course credit will be awarded for a proficiency

examination which is at a lower level than a course pre-

viously enrolled in or one that substantially duplicates

the content of a course taken previously.

8. Students may take a proficiency examination only

once.

9. Students may register for only one departmental profi-

ciency examination each semester unless examinations

are approved in writing by the chairs or directors of the

departments/schools where the courses are being

offered.

10. Students with disabilities should notify the appropriate

departmental office of the need for any special accom-

modations prior to the date of the examination.

11. Students should register for an examination online at

the Registrar’s Website at www.registrar.ilstu.edu.

Credit for Military Service: Students who have served

at least one year of active duty and received an honorable

discharge may receive six semester hours of elective credit.

To qualify for this credit, a copy of the DD214 should be

presented with the application for admission.

Advanced Placement Program: The Advanced

Placement Program is sponsored by the College Entrance

Board. The examinations are administered at designated high

school testing centers. Students will be awarded credit or

exemption as indicated.

General Education

General Education provides students with a broad,

common foundation of study upon which to build an

undergraduate education. The program develops skills of

oral and written communication, logical and scientific rea-

soning, computer usage, and quantitative analysis. Courses

in General Education explore ways of knowing in the vari-

ous disciplines through examination of significant histori-

cal, social, cultural, and scientific issues. Students will

take most General Education courses during their fresh-

man and sophomore years, along with some courses in

their major or other elective courses.

Illinois State University is committed to continuous

assessment of the General Education program in an effort

to gain valuable information so that necessary improve-

ments can be made to the curriculum. As a part of the

General Education assessment process on our campus, stu-

dents may be asked by a faculty member to submit a copy

of their work to be included in the General Education

Institutional Artifact Portfolio [IAP]. Submitting an arti-

fact of student work for the General Education IAP will in

no way affect a student’s final grade on the assignment.

Faculty will grade the assignment independent of the

General Education IAP system. Results from the General

Education IAP process are reported in aggregate to the

Council for General Education for the primary purpose of

improving the General Education program. The artifacts

provided for the General Education IAP are in no way

linked to individual students. For the purpose of General

Education assessment the unit of analysis is the institution,

not an individual student, faculty member, or class.

The University Assessment Office coordinates the

General Education Institutional Artifact Portfolio. If a stu-

dent desires not to participate in the General Education

Institutional Artifact Portfolio they may complete the

Decline to Participate – Student Form which can be accessed

at www.assessment.ilstu.edu/generaleducation. Students or

faculty with any questions about the Institutional Artifact

Portfolio should contact the University Assessment Office at

(309) 438-2135. If you have any questions about your rights

as a subject/participant in the assessment process, or if you

feel you have been placed at risk, you can contact the

Research Ethics and Compliance Office, Illinois State

University, at (309) 438-8451.

GENERAL EDUCATION

REQUIREMENT OPTIONS

There are three ways to complete general education

requirements for Illinois State University. These three gener-

al education programs have different requirements and affect

only certain types of students.

I. The first way is to complete Illinois State University's

General Education Program. The General Education

Program requires 14 courses (42 semester hours) within a

structured three-tiered system, explained fully in the section,

General Education Program-Illinois State University.

The following categories of students must complete the

Illinois State University General Education Program

requirements:

1. Beginning Freshmen (see Admissions section of this

catalog for complete definition).

2. Students who were admitted as beginning freshmen at

Illinois State University, who were readmitted and who

have not completed a baccalaureate-oriented associates

degree (A.A. or A.S.) from an Illinois public communi-

ty college and are not eligible for an earlier catalog.

3. Transfer Students who have not completed a bac-

calaureate-oriented associates degree (A.A. or A.S.)

from a regionally accredited post secondary institu-

tion and who are not eligible to complete the Illinois

Transferable General Education core curriculum

described below.

II. The second way is to complete the Illinois Transferable

General Education Core Curriculum available through the

Illinois Articulation Initiative (IAI). This program is a

statewide agreement between participating public col-

leges and universities and some private schools that is

designed to facilitate timely degree completion for stu-

dents who transfer between institutions. The Illinois

Transferable General Education Core Curriculum struc-

ture consists of 12 to 13 courses (37 to 41 semester cred-

its) distributed among five subject areas. Completion of

these courses at any participating institution satisfies

general education requirements. The IAI Transferable Core

is presented in the section entitled General Education - Illinois

Articulation Initiative (IAI). (More information about this sys-

tem and participating institutions can be found at the following

Website address: www.iTransfer.org.)

The following category of students may complete the

Illinois Transferable General Education Core Curriculum:

1. Transfer students (See Admissions section of this cata-

log for a complete description) who began the Illinois

Transferable General Education Core Curriculum at a

participating IAI institution and transferred to Illinois

State may choose to complete the program by enrolling

in Illinois State approved IAI courses presented in the

section entitled Illinois Articulation Initiative Courses at

Illinois State. Transfer students should note, however,

that IAI course availability is quite limited.

2. Transfer students who have completed at least one trans-

fer course that is articulated to an IAI core requirement.

UNIVERSITY-WIDE PROGRAMS

Pgs 049 - 88 mary(2).qxp:Pgs 053 - 102.qxp 3/30/10 10:04 AM Page 63

3. Students who have completed the Illinois Transferable

General Education Core Curriculum at a participating

IAI institution are considered to have met Illinois State

University's General Education requirement.

III. There is also a third way in which general education

requirements can be met.

Students who transfer with a completed baccalaureate-

oriented associates degree (A.A. or A.S.) from a regionally

accredited post secondary institution are considered to have

satisfied Illinois State University's General Education

Program requirements. Illinois State University accepts the

AAT degree as a baccalaureate-oriented degree when the

AAT degree includes the IAI transferable core.

Any transfer student may choose to complete Illinois

State University's General Education Program.

Illinois State University offers several study abroad pro-

grams that feature a wide variety of General Education

classes. Interested students should contact their academic

advisor or the Office of International Studies and Programs.

GENERAL EDUCATION PROGRAM —

ILLINOIS STATE UNIVERSITY

The General Education Program at Illinois State

University is an integrated set of courses that focuses on the

development of communication and problem-solving skills

and abilities, such as persuasion, listening, and argumenta-

tion; logical and quantitative thinking; and understanding

varying perspectives on issues. These skills and abilities pro-

vide an essential grounding for work in the student’s major.

The premise of the General Education Program is that

education should be a developmental process and not simply

an assimilation of a prescribed set of facts. The program’s

overall structure is designed to ensure that developmental

objectives are achieved through the coherent and sequential

interrelationship of courses. Inner Core courses provide

basic knowledge and skills upon which Middle Core cours-

es build, and those courses in turn prepare students for

courses in the Outer Core.

The complete General Education Program consists of 14

courses (42 semester hours), which is approximately one-

third of the total credits required for graduation.

Because of laboratory or recitation requirements,

some courses are listed as four credit hours in this catalog.

All four hours will be credited as graduation require-

ments, but only three hours will be credited in General

Education for these courses.

Students will take most General Education courses

during their freshman and sophomore years, along with

some courses in their major or other elective courses.

While some specific courses are important to take as part

of preparation for a major (such as certain mathematics

or science courses), the choice of which course to take in

each category is a decision for students to make. Students

are encouraged to choose courses that will give them the

broadest possible general education and to explore and

challenge themselves through their course choices.

The Illinois State University General Education Program

consists of a 14-course requirement outlined as the following:

Inner Core (5 courses):

— a 2-course, first-year sequence integrating composition,

communication, critical thinking, and information litera-

cy;

— 1 course chosen from the inner-core mathematics catego-

ry; and

— 2 courses chosen from a four-course natural science cat-

egory or an alternative science course required by cer-

tain majors.

Middle Core (5 course categories):

— 5 courses, one chosen from each course category.

Outer Core (4 courses; one from each of four discipline

groups):

— 4 courses, one chosen from each category. Most students

not taking a course in their major or minor that satisfies

the Global Studies graduation requirement will also take

one Outer-Core course whose content focuses on the

cultures of Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Latin America,

or the indigenous peoples of the world (See Global

Studies requirement).

Students must comply with the following requirements:

— Complete the General Education Program through com-

pletion of at least 14 courses (42 semester hours), as des-

ignated in the program description.

— Students may count one General Education Middle- or

Outer-Core course from their first major department or

school toward the total of 14 courses. Additionally,

depending on their major, students may be exempted

from one General Education category (maximum of one

course) because of disciplinary expertise gained in their

major listed below:

Transferring General Education

Courses—Illinois Articulation Initiative

The Illinois Articulation Initiative (IAI) is a statewide

agreement among the more than 100 public and some

selected private four-year and two-year higher education

institutions. The agreement is designed to facilitate stu-

dents transferring between the colleges and universities in

Illinois. The Illinois Transferable General Education Core

curriculum consists of 12 to 13 courses (37 to 41 hours of

credit) within a five-category designation. The general

requirements are as follows:

Communication: 3 courses (9 credits)

Humanities and Fine Arts: 3 courses (9 credits)

Mathematics: 1to 2 courses(3to6credits)

Physical and Life Sciences: 2 courses (7 to 8 credits)

Social and Behavioral Sciences: 3 courses (9 credits)

IAI policy is presented on the Website,

www.iTransfer.org, and Illinois State University’s imple-

mentation requirements are published below. Students who

transfer out of Illinois State will be held to the requirements

of their transfer institution.

General Education Options For Transferring Students

New transfer students have the option of completing

either Illinois State’s General Education program or the

Illinois Transferable General Education Core Program

(IAI). NOTE: To be eligible for IAI, at least one transfer

course must have been articulated to an IAI core require-

ment. Transfer students who have satisfactorily completed

at least one course within the Illinois Transferable General

Education Core are allowed to complete this program by

enrolling in approved IAI courses at Illinois State

University. Students should note, however, that IAI course

availability is quite limited.

University-Wide Programs

Pgs 049 - 88 mary(2).qxp:Pgs 053 - 102.qxp 3/30/10 10:04 AM Page 67

CLEP

Illinois State policies on CLEP credit will be used to meet

Illinois Transferable General Education Core requirements.

WAIVERS

If a student satisfactorily completes the objectives of a

General Education Core area but earns fewer hours than

required, the remaining hours for that area can be waived.

However, students must complete the minimum of 12 cours-

es, 37 hours, and the number of courses required in each area

of the Core. Fractional hours can also be waived, but the

minimum 37 hour total is still enforced.

For those students eligible to complete the Core, a transfer

course articulated as an Illinois State University course

approved for the Illinois Transferable General Education Core

Curriculum will be utilized toward the Core. Any course from

a participating school approved by an IAI curriculum panel

may be used even if not articulated to an Illinois State course.

Acceptance and placement of transfer credit as an elective

from a non-participating IAI institution is only applicable to

meet Illinois Transferable General Education Core (IAI)

requirements at Illinois State University.

Effective May 1999, a student transferring to another

institution, who has completed at least 37 semester hours,

may request an audit, via a transcript request, of his or her

records for completion of the Illinois Transferable General

Education Core Curriculum. If complete, the University will

certify completion of the Illinois Transferable General

Education Core requirements on the Illinois State transcript.

Students transferring to Illinois State are required to

fulfill all University graduation requirements.

Illinois Articulation Initiative CourseRequirements:

Regardless of category placement, a student may

count no more than two courses from a single discipline

to fulfill the General Education Core Curriculum

requirements. Only one course assigned to an IAI course

number may be used to fulfill a requirement (For exam-

ple, since HIS 104.01 and HIS 104.03 both carry the IAI

number of H2 903N, only one may be used).

Illinois State University courses approved for the

IAI General Education Core are listed officially on the

IAI Website, www.iTransfer.org. The following list of

courses is provided for convenience only. Some courses

may have been added or deleted since the publication of

this catalog.

Realizing the Democratic Ideal: Teacher Education

at Illinois State University

Illinois State University has a historic and enduring

commitment to prepare teachers and other school personnel

who will be responsive to the ethical and intellectual

demands of a democratic society. To teach in a democracy

is self-consciously to take up the challenge of improving the

ethical and intellectual quality of our societal dialogue by

including in it as many educated voices as possible.

The democratic ideal unites caring and knowing: the more

voices we call into thoughtful dialogue, and the less fettered

the mutual exchange among those voices becomes, the truer

our convictions and conclusions will be. This is the foundation

a democratic society, and it is why Illinois State graduates

aspire to teach everyone, especially those on the margins,

those who have been or are in danger of being excluded.

This democratic conception of education informs all

aspects of teacher education at Illinois State University.

Graduates who are ready to meet the challenges and

rewards of serving students in a democratic society

embody the ethical and intellectual commitments of teach-

ing and learning in order to realize the democratic ideal.

The ethical commitments are:

• Sensitivity toward the varieties of individual and cul-

tural diversity

• Disposition and ability to collaborate effectively

with others

• High regard for learning and seriousness of personal, pro-

fessional, and public purpose

University-Wide Programs

Pgs 049 - 88 mary(2).qxp:Pgs 053 - 102.qxp 3/30/10 10:04 AM Page 69

• Respect for learners of all ages, with special regard

for children and adolescents.

The intellectual commitments are:

• Wide general knowledge and deep knowledge of the

content to be taught

• Knowledge and appreciation of the diversity among

learners

• Understanding of the factors that affect learning and

appropriate teaching strategies

• Interest in and ability to seek out informational, techno-

logical, and collegial resources

• Contagious intellectual enthusiasm and courage enough

to be creative.

Of the challenges facing teachers and other school per-

sonnel in the 21st century, none is more pressing than the

need for them to develop and maintain a strong sense of their

ethical and intellectual commitments—a professional identi-

ty. Toward this end, Illinois State University prepares teach-

ers and other school personnel who have a dynamic,

reflective sense of themselves and their mission; through

caring and knowing they realize the democratic ideal.

Undergraduate students interested in preparing for

teaching careers in the public schools should consult this

Undergraduate Catalog or cont ac t the Tea ch er

Education Coordinator of the department or school in

which they desire certification. Contact the Cecilia J.

Lauby Teacher Education Center, 56 DeGarmo Hall,

(309) 438-5416, for information about admission to the

Teacher Education programs of the University and certi-

fication requirements. Students interested in preparing

for teaching careers in colleges and universities should

consult academic advisors in the discipline that they

plan to teach for information concerning appropriate

graduate degree preparation.

Federal regulations require that all Illinois teacher

preparation programs report candidate test scores to the

Illinois State Board of Education annually on April 7; the

state in turn reports scores to the United States Department

of Education annually on October 7. The following April 7,

the Secretary of Education prepares a report for Congress on

the quality of the nation’s teacher preparation programs.

Illinois State University reported the following scores on

February 23, 2009:

• 2007-2008 Program Completers: 1,100

• Basic Skills: 1,085 tested, 1,085 passed = 100% pass rate

• Assessment of Professional Teaching: 1,080 tested, 1,076

passed = 99.6 % pass rate

• Academic Content Areas: 1,003 tested, 1,003 passed =

100% pass rate

• Other Content Areas: 65 tested, 65 passed = 100% pass

rate

• Teaching Special Populations: 158 tested, 158 passed =

100% pass rate

• Summary Totals and Pass Rate: 1,100 tested, 1,096

passed = 99.6 % pass rate

• 2007-2008 Alternative Route Completers: 6; Basic Skills,

Performance-Based Assessment System

Effective Fall 2002, the Council for Teacher Education

began implementation of its newly adopted Teacher Education

Performance-Based Assessment System. This system meets

accreditation standards, as stipulated by the Illinois State Board

of Education (ISBE) and the National Council for the

Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE).

The performance -based assessment system is

reviewed by the University Teacher Educatio n

Assessment Committee, which reports to the Council for

Teacher Education. The Council for Teacher Education

approves changes to the system.

The system establishes critical points at which candi-

dates for teacher certification will be assessed: Admission

to Professional Studies, Admission to Student Teaching

(clinical practice), Exit from Student Teaching (clinical

practice), and Exit from the Program. This system ensures

that candidates possess the knowledge, skills, perfor-

mances, and dispositions requisite for successful teaching

careers. When Illinois State University recommends a

candidate for teacher certification, the entire university

has prepared that teacher.

For Admission to Professional Studies, candidates

will, in addition to meeting all program requirements as

noted in applicable sections of this catalog:

• complete 30 hours of course work successfully;

• present documented evidence of successful experiences

with children and youth;

• submit a reflective essay on entry-level dispositions to

teach relative to "Realizing the Democratic Ideal," to

be retained in an electronic portfolio;

• pass the basic skills test required for ISBE teacher certi-

fication;

• attain and retain a minimum cumulative and major GPA

as designated by the selected teacher certification pro-

gram, typically no less than 2.50;

• complete the Assessment of Legal and Ethical

Conduct form;

• complete English 101 and Communication 110, with a

grade of C or better;

• meet other performance indicators as determined by

the Council for Teacher Education and/or individual

teacher preparation programs;

• attain departmental approval;

• complete a safety education assessment; and

• complete a teacher education orientation and an

ePortfolio fundamentals workshop;

• some programs require a negative TB test (check with

your advisor).

For Admission to Student Teaching/Clinical Practice,

successful candidates will:

• pass the ISBE Content Area Test(s) to ensure content

knowledge;

• complete a criminal history records check;

• file verification of a negative TB test;

• retain a minimum cumulative and major GPA as desig-

nated by the selected teacher education program;

• verify having completed clinical experiences commen-

surate with attaining local, state, and national standards

the electronic portfolio;

• demonstrate dispositions that align with the Realizing

the Democratic Ideal conceptual framework;

• demonstrate appropriate communications skills;

• complete the Language Arts Assessment; and

• meet other performance indicators as determined by the

Council for Teacher Education and/or individual teacher

preparation programs.

the Performance Based Assessment System;

• complete the Multicultural/Diversity Assessment; and,

• meet other performance indicators as determined by

Council for Teacher Education and/or individual teacher

preparation programs.

For Exit from the Program the successful candidates

will:

• meet all university graduation requirements as noted in

the applicable sections of this catalog;

• meet all program graduation requirements as noted in

the applicable sections of this catalog; and,

• meet other performance indicators as determined by the

Council for Teacher Education and/or individual teacher

preparation programs.

The information on Performance-Based Assessment

supplements additional information already present in the

catalog, found under University-Wide Teacher Education

and with information for each individual teacher education

program. The Council for Teacher Education reserves the

right to modify performance assessment indicators in

response to state and national accreditation mandates.

Candidates should consult their program advisors for specif-

ic requirements and updates on state or national mandates.

Details regarding the performance-based assessment

system are available at the teacher education website

Program Requirements

State Board of Education. In addition, effective February

1, 2012 students who are applying for their initial teach-

ing certification or additional endorsements must have a

grade of C or above in all coursework required as part of

their certification program. This includes all endorsement

areas, major courses and professional education.

Students who have already completed one or more non-

teaching degrees and who now seek admission to a teacher

education program are advised to seek admission to the

University as a candidate for a second bachelor’s degree,

certification only. Subsequent transcript analysis may deter-

mine that a second degree is not required. In this instance,

the student who received a degree from a state Teacher

Education approved institution will be allowed to complete

the requirements for certification without completing the

requirements of the second bachelor’s degree. Students are

University-Wide Programs

Pgs 049 - 88 mary(2).qxp:Pgs 053 - 102.qxp 3/30/10 10:04 AM Page 71

advised that the Teacher Education certification require-

ments provided here are for Illinois and that they should

check certification requirements for other states if they desire

to be certified for teaching elsewhere.

Students who complete a bachelor’s degree program in

Teacher Education at Illinois State University also have their

transcripts stamped, “Student has completed a state and

NCATE approved program in Teacher Education.” (NCATE

is the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher

Education.) This statement indicates that the program has

received state approval and national accreditation. This status

usually makes it easier to obtain a teaching certificate in

another state.

NOTE: Certified teachers may be eligible for endorse-

ments from the Illinois State Board of Education by tran-

script evaluation. For previously certified teachers seeking

a subsequent certificate, this individual should apply to

Illinois State University as a second bachelors’ degree, cer-

tificate only candidate.

Individuals convicted of a felony or any sex, nar-

cotics, or drug offense should contact the Office of

Clinical Experiences prior to application for Admission to

Professional Studies. Applicants convicted of certain types

of crimes may not be approved for certification by the

Illinois State Board of Education.

Certification Programs

Students who fail to maintain the specific GPA

required by their teaching or other certification program

may be dismissed from that program. At the option of the

department, students dropped from the program may pur-

sue a degree in their major or be classified as Undeclared

and will receive academic advisement from the Academic

Advisement Center. In order to become candidates for a

certification program after being dropped, students must

be accepted by the department or school in which they

desire to pursue a certification program.

Council for Teacher Education

The Council for Teacher Education is responsible for

developing requirements for Teacher Education and for

providing avenues of communication among all of the

areas of the University concerned with Teacher Education.

The Dean of the College of Education serves as the

University’s certification officer and is responsible for

maintaining the relationship between campus programs and

state certification officials.

Admission Procedures:

Students may monitor and assess their status regarding

Admission to Professional Studies through the use of the

iCampus portal. For specific directions and accompanying

documents, please contact the Cecilia J. Lauby Teacher

Education Center in DeGarmo Hall. Students should check

with the major department or school regarding specific

departmental procedures and requirements for Admission to

Professional Studies.

Selective Retention

Students are required to maintain the qualification

requirements for Admission to Professional Studies from the

point of admission to the point of certification.

Admission to Professional Studies is a prerequisite for

enrollment in certain courses of the program. The prerequisite

is listed in this Undergraduate Catalog for each of the speci-

fied courses.

A student must be formally admitted to Professional

Studies and have satisfied all stipulated prerequisites prior to

being assigned to student teaching.

University-Wide Programs

Pgs 049 - 88 mary(2).qxp:Pgs 053 - 102.qxp 3/30/10 10:04 AM Page 72

Endorsements: The minimum course requirements

for teaching fields for elementary and high school certifi-

cates are defined by the State of Illinois and are listed on

the certificate as an endorsement. One or more endorse-

ments may be earned by completing requirements for the

elementary or high school certification programs at

Illinois State University. Additional endorsements may be

earned through the completion of the specified course

work and, in most cases, by passing the State content test

in the endorsement area. The Illinois Board of Education

determines this process. Students should contact an advi-

sor for information on requirements for endorsements.

General Education: To meet certification require-

ments of the Illinois State Board of Education, all

Teacher Education programs must meet general education

requirements defined for the institution’s approved enti-

tlement programs. Effective fall 1998, all native students

entering Illinois State University will complete the

University’s General Education Program. For teacher

education students, completion of Illinois State

University’s General Education Program ensures that the

general education requirements for teacher certification

have been met.

Transfer Students:

Several options satisfy general education requirements

for certification relative to transfer students. The Illinois

Articulation Initiative General Education program, includ-

ing a global perspective course, may be the general educa-

tion component for Illinois State entitlement programs for

the transfer student who does not choose to complete the

University’s general education program. Other options

include Illinois State’s University Studies general educa-

tion (97-98 or earlier catalogs), an approved baccalaureate-

oriented A.A., A.S., A.A.T. or a bachelor’s degree from a

regional accredited institution, including a global perspec-

tive course. All of these options must include at least one

global perspective course (Non-Western Studies).

Completion of a course for the Global Studies graduation

requirement will meet this requirement.

Completion of General Education Program requirements

does not ensure that the requirements for certification have

been met. Students are reminded that some courses are

required by specific programs: Introductory Psychology is a

prerequisite for Educational Psychology; a grade of C or bet-

ter in an English Composition course and a Speech course

are required for Admission to Professional Studies.

The number of semester hours of student teaching

required varies with the student’s curriculum. A student

does student teaching in his or her major field of study. A

student must meet all eligibility requirements for student

teaching in that major field.

The following requirements must be met prior to par-

ticipation in student teaching. Students may be removed

from the student teaching assignment if at any time these

requirements are not met.

1. Approval for student teaching by the Director of

Clinical Experiences and Certification Processes

(CECP) Office. This approval will include verification

of all of the following:

University-Wide Programs

Pgs 049 - 88 mary(2).qxp:Pgs 053 - 102.qxp 3/30/10 10:04 AM Page 75

a. formal Admission to Professional Studies at least 1

semester prior to the beginning of the student teach-

ing semester;

b. successful completion at Illinois State University

of at least 4 hours of Professional Education

approved by the appropriate education department;

c. a minimum of 85 hours of college credit earned;

d. completion of pre-student teaching field experi-

ences commensurate with attaining local, state,

and national standards;

e. an application for student teaching filed in the

Office of CECP at least 6 months prior to the

planned student teaching semester;

f. satisfactory completion of prerequisite courses to

STT 399 (listed under University-wide Courses);

g. meeting all requirements of Admission to

Professional Studies and Admission to Student

Teaching as stated in the Performance-based

Assessment System;

2. Approval for student teaching by the student’s major

department chairperson or school director or designee.

This approval will be based on the following criteria.

The student:

a. has demonstrated content knowledge in the stu-

dent’s major area of study;

b. possesses professional knowledge necessary for

performing teaching responsibilities;

c. has performed at an acceptable level during the pre-

student teaching clinical experiences;

d. shows evidence of professional characteristics and

interpersonal skills necessary for working with chil-

dren and youth;

e. has completed all other departmental/school require-

ments, including minimum major GPA (see major

department or school for additional requirements).

Student Teaching Assignments

The University will assign student teachers to selected

schools or professional development schools (PDS) in

Illinois during regular semesters. Personnel of the Office of

Clinical Experiences and Certification Processes, in coopera-

tion with the head of the student’s major department or

school, make the student teaching assignments and perform

procedures related to student teaching. Teacher candidates

may not self-place. Student teachers are assigned only to

classrooms that have regularly employed full time and fully

qualified teachers. Assignments are not made to a school in

which the teacher candidate or a family member is currently

or has been employed. A student teacher may not receive a

salary or an income for student teaching.

During this period in the school, the student teacher

works with one or more cooperating teachers who are

responsible for teaching a specific group or groups of

pupils. These cooperating teachers, along with the

University supervisors, have responsibility for guiding and

evaluating the work of the student teacher. During this

experience, the student becomes a member of the school

staff and of the community in which he or she is working.

Any student who has a prolonged illness or temporary

disability and who is unable to continue in his/her student

teaching assignment should consult with the Associate

Director of the Office of Clinical Experiences. A clearance

from a physician will be required stating that the student is

again able to continue in his/her student teaching assign-

ment without any contingencies.

The Associate Director of Clinical Experiences, upon

the recommendation of the college supervisor, chairperson,

or director of the student’s major department or school,

may remove a student from the assignment or require a stu-

dent to do additional work and continue student teaching

until the student is sufficiently competent to be recom-

mended for certification. Entitlement for certification is not

an automatic procedure.

Student teaching assignments begin and end on the

dates indicated in the student’s official notice of assign-

ment. Ordinarily, the student is expected to follow the

school calendar of the school in which student teaching is

done insofar as vacations and school holidays are con-

cerned. Changes in dates involved in an assignment must

receive the prior permission of the Associate Director of

Clinical Experiences.

A teacher education candidate for initial certification

must earn a grade of C or better in student teaching in

order for the Dean of the College of Education to recom-

mend that the Evaluations Office send to the candidate

the proper documentation to apply for the appropriate

Illinois Teaching Certificate to be issued by the Illinois

State Board of Education.

Complaints Regarding Teacher Education Matters:

For information on how to appeal department and col-

lege decisions regarding admission, retention, evaluation,

and certification relative to Teacher Education, contact the

Cecilia J. Lauby Teacher Education Center, 56 DeGarmo

Hall. All appeals regarding teacher education will be

reviewed only by the Teacher Education Review

Board/Council for Teacher Education.

Certification for Persons Who Have Been Convicted of a

Crime:

Students who have been convicted of felonies or any sex,

narcotics or drug offenses may be ineligible for certification in

the State of Illinois. If candidates can answer “yes” to any of

the following questions, they must contact the Associate

Director of the Cecilia J. Lauby Teacher Education Center,

DeGarmo Hall prior to application for Admission to

Professional Studies:

Have you ever been convicted of a felony, or any

sex,

narcotics or drug offense in Illinois or any other state?

Have you ever been named by a state agency responsi-

ble for child welfare as a perpetrator in an indicated

report of child abuse or neglect if such report was not

reversed after exhaustion of any appeal? Are you in

default on an Illinois student loan for which you have

University-Wide Programs

Pgs 049 - 88 mary(2).qxp:Pgs 053 - 102.qxp 3/30/10 10:04 AM Page 76

failed to establish a satisfactory repayment plan with the

Illinois Student Assistance Commission? Have you ever

had a certificate denied, suspended or revoked in Illinois

or any other state? Have you failed to file a tax return

with the Illinois Department of Revenue, or failed to pay

any tax, penalty, or interest owed or any final assess-

ment of same for any tax as required by law adminis-

tered by that Department was not subsequently resolved

to the Department’s satisfaction?

In many cases such offenders may become certified as

teachers in the State of Illinois if the offense is not one which

bars the person from certification and employment in public

schools and if the institution has followed certain proce-

dures. According to the Illinois State Board of Education,

institutions should have information regarding convictions at

the beginning of a student’s career in teacher education. This

allows the institution time to observe the student’s perfor-

mance and the State Board time to determine whether the

conviction is one which would bar an individual from

employment in a public school or from certification.The

Council for Teacher Education at Illinois State University

has established strong standards for admission and retention

in teacher education programs. Beyond the criteria listed

above for state certification issues related to criminal convic-

tions, any teacher candidate who has two or more criminal

convictions in the preceding three years may be refused

progress through a teacher education program at Illinois

State University. If there is any question about these stan-

dards, please contact the Associate Director of the Cecilia J.

Lauby Teacher Education Center, Room 56, DeGarmo Hall,

as early as possible.

University-WideCurriculum

MAJOR IN INTERDISCIPLINARY STUDIES

Program Coordinator: Jim Weinzierl

336 Schroeder, Campus Box 4660

(309) 438-8579

Web address: IDS.IllinoisState.edu

Degrees Offered: B.A., B.S.

General Information

Under the Major in Interdisciplinary Studies, a student

may construct one of three individualized programs of

study that differ from the University’s regular major pro-

grams. These options use existing University courses and

lead to the Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science degree

in Interdisciplinary Studies. Each sequence addresses a dif-

ferent set of educational objectives.

I. The Individualized Sequence of the Major in

Interdisciplinary Studies allows a student to design,

with the help of a faculty sponsor, a specialized pro-

gram of study that is not offered by the University.

This program is intended for the student whose specif-

ic interests cannot be accommodated within existing

programs. Some topics recently chosen by students

include Classical Civilization, Agricultural

Communication, Three-Dimensional Design, Human

Services and Needs, International Public

Administration, and Theatre Management. The

Individualized Sequence is often a second or auxiliary

major but may be proposed as a primary major.

II. The Multidisciplinary Studies Sequence of the Major in

Interdisciplinary Studies is built around the offerings of

two or more departments or schools. It is intended for

the student who is seeking a baccalaureate degree with-

out the specialization of a traditional major. The student

chooses the focus of the program, with the help of a fac-

ulty advisor, by determining the departments or schools

in which he or she wishes to pursue advanced work.

III. The Human and Educational Services Sequence recog-

nizes work that students have completed in working

University-Wide Programs

Pgs 049 - 88 mary(2).qxp:Pgs 053 - 102.qxp 3/30/10 10:04 AM Page 77

toward a degree in Special Education (SED) or

Curriculum and Instruction (C&I). Completion of this

degree program does not allow for certification as a

teacher.

Please note: The major in Interdisciplinary Studies does

not prepare a student for a specific professional career or

graduate field, nor does it satisfy the requirements for

Teacher Certification. Because of its general nature, this

program may require graduates to convince prospective

employers or graduate schools that the students’ degree

preparation will enable them to succeed in a particular job

or educational endeavor.

Procedure:

1. Admission to the Individualized and Multidisciplinary

Studies Sequences of the Major in Interdisciplinary

Studies may be requested after the completion of 15

semester hours of course work and before the comple-

tion of 75 semester hours. Applications must be submit-

ted during September and February.

2. Information on the application process is available in

336 Schroeder Hall. Applicants should select an appro-

priate faculty advisor. The proposed plan of study must

be approved by the faculty advisor, the Interdisciplinary

Studies Major Committee, and the Office of the Provost.

For the Human and Educational Services Sequence, stu-

dents must be majors in either Special Education or

Curriculum and Instruction and will receive advisement

from their departmental advisor.

3. Except for the Human and Educational Services

Sequence, at least one-half of the course work in the

sequence must be taken after the proposal has been

approved. No more than one-sixth of the course work in

the sequence may be transferred from another institution

of higher education.

4. Changes in an approved plan of study must be autho-

rized in advance. A letter outlining the proposed

change, and countersigned by the faculty advisor,

should be submitted to Jim Weinzierl, Campus Box

4660, 336 Schroeder Hall. Requests for changes in

more than one-sixth of the approved program consti-

tute a new proposal and must be resubmitted subject

to all the conditions of an initial application.

5. If the Individualized Sequence is a student’s primary

major, courses included in the approved program may not

be used to meet General Education requirements. Only

one course from the departments or schools specified in

the Multidisciplinary Sequence may be used to meet the

General Education requirements.

MAJOR IN INTERDISCIPLINARY STUDIES

General Requirements:

1. 120 semester hours.

2. Completion of General Education requirements.

3. 42 senior-college (200- to 300-level) hours, 9 hours of

MINOR IN CIVIC ENGAGEMENT AND

RESPONSIBILITY

Advisor: Dr. Lance Lippert, School of Communication

424 Fell Hall, Campus Box 4480

(309) 438-8869; llipper@ilstu.edu

In teaching civic engagement at Illinois State University,

we strive to develop civically responsible individuals who

embrace their membership in communities and society by

owning social issues and working to be a part of the solution,

which requires ethical and civic judgements and actions

when appropriate. Illinois State University’s values are at

the core of this minor as students will prepare to participate

in social change as well as develop an awareness of personal

social responsibility. This minor is intended to prepare stu-

dents to engage actively in their citizenship. The interdisci-

plinary minor is open to all students of any ideological

viewpoint and can be positively matched with any major as a

way to broaden the student’s learning experience and career

perspectives. A civically educated individual (1) gains a

sense of self-awareness as a citizen, (2) actively participates

in community service, (3) develops an appreciation of diver-

sity, (4) comprehends the interdepedence within communi-

ties, societies, and the world, (5) grows an understanding of

the democratic process, (6) displays critical thinking within

the arena of democratic conversations and social issues, (7)

becomes effective at problem-solving and change, and (8) is

able to personally integrate reflection on service, social

issues, and course content. This minor will provide students

with opportunities to sharpen critical analysis, skill develop-

ment, and personal reflection as well as substantive opportu-

nities to study and perform civic engagement in their

communities.

Ethnic Studies is the study of race and ethnicity in U.S.

and transnational contexts. Students and faculty in this area

examine how social categories like race, indigeneity, culture,

ethnicity, and nation are conceptualized. They also familiar-

ize themselves with the specific and comparative experi-

ences both historical and contemporary of the major

population groups that make up the United States. The pro-

gram at Illinois State allows participants to examine region-

al, national, and global dimensions of these experiences.

Student in the minor must complete a minimum of 22

hours representing 8 courses as indicated from Groups I, II,

and III; at least 4 courses must be above the 100-level; no

more than 3 courses may be from one department or school.

Students may use departmental or IDS 287, 298, or 398

courses for one course in Group II and/or one course in

Group III. No more than 9 hours applied toward this minor

may overlap with hours applied toward any other minor.

Students interested in pursuing a major in this area may

arrange their program of study through the Interdisciplinary

Studies Major program.

General School Information

The School of Information Technology (ITK) offers

three degree programs: Information Systems, Computer

Science, and Telecommunications Management. All three

require substantial interpersonal communication skills as

well as technical skills in computing, information tech-

nology and networking. The curricula have a strong prac-

tical emphasis on the application of computers, systems,

and networking techniques to real world problems. Practi-

cal skills and applications are balanced with exposure to

the knowledge base that underlies the field of computing.

A core of 3 courses (10 hours) provides a common foun-

dation for each degree program.

Both the Information Systems and Computer Science

programs prepare a student for an application develop-

ment oriented computing career, but, there are important

differences in the context of the work to be performed,

the types of problems to be solved, and the types of sys-

tems to be designed and built. Starting positions for either

program include such job titles as programmer or pro-

grammer/analyst. The Telecommunications Management

program prepares undergraduate students to enter the

telecommunications industry in entry-level positions with

adequate preparation to assume management positions

once work experience is gained.

Department minors are intended to help majors in

other departments focus on specific skills and electives

which are relevant for their career needs. Minors are avail-

able in Information Systems and in Computer Science.

Academic Requirements:

For any student who enrolls in a course in the School

of Information Technology, a grade of C or better is

required in all prerequisite courses. For majors, only cours-

es in which the student has received a grade of C or better

may be counted toward the hours required in the major,

including supporting requirements.

A student cannot pursue a double major in any two

programs in the School of Information Technology. Also,

a student cannot pursue both a major and a minor in

Information Technology.

Admission Requirements:

A student may enter a major or minor in the School of

Information Technology as a new freshman, a transfer stu-

dent, or as a change of major at Illinois State University. Stu-

dents should contact the Information Technology

undergraduate advisor or University Admissions for mini-

mum admission requirements.

Transfer Students:

Proficiency with the Java programming language is

expected in 200-and 300-level Information Technology

courses and is usually obtained by completing ITK 168 or

177 and one of 178, 179, 277; or ITK 275.

HONORS IN INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY

The School offers honors work in all programs to

highly qualified juniors and seniors. Candidates must

have a 3.30 overall GPA and a 3.50 GPA in Information

Technology. Honors requirements involve honors course

work and the preparation of a substantial research paper

or the completion of a significant application project pre-

pared under the guidance of a faculty advisor. For further

information contact the Director of Honors.

PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE

Each degree program requires a practical experience that

may be satisfied by a directed project or an internship. An

internship experience is the usual way for students to satisfy

this requirement. ITK 191 (1 hour) is required and prepares

students for fulfilling this requirement. It is recommended

that ITK 191 be taken no later than the sophomore year.

The six (6) hours of Professional Practice credit

counted toward the major will be graded. Any additional

Professional Practice credit will be earned on a CR/NC

basis. A maximum of 16 hours of Professional Practice

credit (ITK 391, 398) may be applied toward graduation.

Students may not register for ITK 398 during the last

semester of their studies.

MINOR IN COGNITIVE SCIENCE

The School of Information Technology participates in

the Minor in Cognitive Science program. Several courses

offered by the School contribute to the minor. For further

information, please consult the School undergraduate advi-

sor as well as the section entitled "Minor in Cognitive Sci-

ence" under University-Wide Curriculum in this

Undergraduate Catalog.

Information Systems Programs

Degree Offered: B.S.

MAJOR IN INFORMATION SYSTEMS

The Information Systems (IS) Major is designed to

prepare professionals in Information Systems including such

areas as systems analysis and design and software engineer-

ing. This degree focuses on the use of computer technology

and information management methods to solve business

problems. This requires an understanding of both the orga-

nizational context of the problem and the technologies,

methodologies, and tools typically utilized. There are four

sequences within this program: the Information Assurance

and Security Sequence, the Integration of Enterprise Sys-

tems Sequence, the Systems Development/Analyst

Sequence, and the Web Application Development

Sequence.

The Analyst sequence provides breadth and depth in

analysis and design techniques preparing students to work in

a variety of information technology environments, while the

Web sequence emphasizes the development of Web/Inter-

net-based business information systems. The Integration of

Enterprise Systems Sequence is designed for students who

wish to pursue both technical and practical skills in large-

scale, multi-platform enterprise computing systems. The

Information Assurance and Security Sequence is designed to

give students the knowledge and tools necessary for protect-

ing information and information systems. The Information

Systems program is accredited by the Computing Accredita-

tion Commission (CAC) of the Accreditation Board for

Engineering and Technology (ABET).

Preparation for Graduate Study:

The Information Systems major offers excellent prepa-

ration for a number of computer and management informa-

tion systems master's programs. Students interested in an

MBA program may want to combine this major with a Busi-

ness Administration minor. Any student interested in gradu-

ate school should discuss options with faculty and an

academic advisor during their junior year.

Information Assurance and Security Sequence:

The Information Assurance and Security Sequence is

designed to give students the knowledge and tools necessary

for protecting information and information systems. The

sequence provides education for protecting the confidentiali-

ty, availability, and integrity of information using technolo-

gy, people, and policy. A minor is not required.

Military Science Program

General Department Information

Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) is designed

to be completed concurrently with the student’s academ-

ic degree. Students can complete the first two years of

ROTC with absolutely no military service obligation.

Veterans, National Guardsmen, Army Reservists, and

students who complete a four week leadership course at

Fort Knox, Kentucky receive constructive credit for the

first two years (6 credit hours) of ROTC, and can com-

plete the ROTC program in as few as two school years.

Freshman through senior ROTC courses are offered every

semester. These academic courses progress from introducing

the student to the Army’s mission and organization, studying

leadership principles and traits, to teaching students the duties

and responsibilities required of officers in the twenty-first cen-

tury. Each class has a leadership laboratory that meets once a

week. At lab, freshmen through senior students train on basic

military skills and receive the opportunity to develop leader-

ship skills through hands-on application. Some of the skills

learned during lab include rappelling, water survival training,

rifle marksmanship, first aid and CPR, map reading and land

navigation, and basic tactics.

In addition to regular on-campus training and activities,

ROTC offers exciting and challenging weekend field train-

ing exercises during the school year. Trips include a staff

ride, an orientation visit to Fort Knox, Kentucky, and trips to

local National Guard training areas to practice marksman-

ship, land navigation, and tactical skills.

FINANCIAL AID

Military Science students can receive outstanding finan-

cial aid through Federal and State Army ROTC scholarships.

Federal ROTC scholarships are awarded for a four,

three, or two-year period. Students compete at the national

level for these scholarships. Each scholarship can pay up to

the full tuition and fees each semester, provides a book

allowance of $1,200 a year, and a tax free monthly living

allowance of $300 for freshmen to $500 for seniors,

depending on scholarship status.

State ROTC tuition waivers are awarded by the Profes-

sor of Military Science at Illinois State University. The

Redbird Battalion awards up to forty of these scholarships

each semester to students in the ROTC program.

EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES

Several clubs complement the ROTC academic curricu-

lum, and help students enjoy their college experience more.

Ranger Club trains intensively on military skills such

as land navigation, patrolling, and rappelling. They spon-

sor the annual Ranger Challenge competition in which a

group of ten cadets are tested on individual and team mil-

itary skills. The Illinois State University Ranger Chal-

lenge team competes with nineteen other university

ROTC Ranger Challenge teams from around the geo-

graphical region in an intercollegiate competition.

Rifle Club fires .22 caliber and precision air rifles

weekly at an indoor rifle range. They also participate in

marksmanship competitions with other university ROTC

programs during the school year.

The Redbird Color Guard presents the national colors

at home football and basketball games, as well as other

local community events.

Drill Team trains and competes in exhibition drill compe-

tition with weapons. Exhibition drill normally involves spin-

ning or tossing of the weapons and intricate precision

marching.

CAREER OPPORTUNITIES

Students who complete the ROTC program receive a

commission as a second lieutenant in the Army after gradua-

tion. The student has the option of serving in the National

Guard or Army Reserve as a part time career, or on active

duty in the Regular Army as a full time profession. ROTC

graduates can also receive a minor in Military Science by

applying through the Military Science Department.

Lieutenants in the Army lead soldiers, while managing

equipment, vehicle fleets, and financial resources. New lieu-

tenants are routinely put in charge of and lead groups of up

to fifty soldiers immediately after college graduation.

Officer career specialties in the Army are as diverse as

those found in the civilian sector. Some of the sixteen spe-

cialties students can request as an Army officer include:

Engineering, Personnel Management, Nursing, Signal

Corps, Finance, Transportation, Medical Service Corps, Mil-

itary Police, and Aviation. Except for the health professions,

an officer’s specialty in the Army does not have to be related

to his or her academic degree in college.

New lieutenants who go into the Regular Army serve on

active duty for three or four years, and may then transfer into

the reserves. Lieutenants commissioned in the National

Guard or Army Reserve can opt to serve their entire tour in

the Reserves.

ENGLISH LANGUAGE INSTITUTE

Under the auspices of the College of Arts and Sci-

ences, the English Language Institute (ELI) provides a

special non-degree intensive program (20 hours per

week) in English as a Second Language for international

students who wish to increase their English proficiency

for college-level work or for international students on

exchange programs. After the first semester, qualifying

students can enroll in one regular University class in

addition to their ELI program. In general, students enroll

at ELI as full-time students for a semester or more.

Although admission to ELI does not guarantee subse-

quent admission to a degree program at the University,

ELI students who attain a satisfactory TOEFL score can be

admitted to a degree program at the University, provided

they also meet the other requirements for admission.

Hence, international students who do not have the mini-

mum TOEFL score for admission to a degree program are

encouraged to attend ELI first to prepare for admission to

such a program at the University.

The minor in Women’s and Gender Studies enhances

any undergraduate major by integrating a working

knowledge of gender issues with the student’s field(s) of

study. Women’s and Gender Studies employs gender as

an analytical category, along with race, class, and ethnic-

ity, to focus on women’s contributions to society and the

gendered implications of cultural, political, and econom-

ic processes. By broadening a student’s knowledge base,

this interdisciplinary minor has theoretical and practical

applications for scholarship, the workplace, personal

growth and relationships.

General Department Information

Undergraduate Program Director: J. Lon Carlson

Office: Stevenson Hall 439-A

Academic Requirements:

Majoring in Economics helps you develop important

skills, including critical thinking and analytical reasoning.

These general skills are valuable for any job or occupa-

tion. Thus, a degree in Economics provides you with the

flexibility to adapt in a changing environment and take

advantage of new opportunities. This flexibility is impor-

tant because, if you are typical, you will change jobs or

occupations about six times in your lifetime.

One of the main advantages of an Economics degree is

the wide range of careers that are available to graduates.

Economics majors find jobs in a variety of settings, includ-

ing private industry; federal, state, and local government;

international organizations and education. Over the past

several years, graduates of the Economics program at Illi-

nois State University have pursued a variety of careers,

including positions in entry-level business/management,

sales, data processing, staff analysis and research, and

teaching. An undergraduate degree in economics is also

excellent preparation for students who plan to pursue grad-

uate-level studies in economics, business, and law.

Besides providing flexibility in the job market, the

Economics major provides you with flexibility in your aca-

demic career. Only 33 hours are required for the major and

only 18 hours are required for the minor. Specific course

requirements for the major and the minor are indicated

below. The low number of hours required for the Economics

major or minor gives you the flexibility to combine it with a

major or minor in other disciplines to design your academic

program to fit your life goals.

INTERDISCIPLINARY MINORS

The Department of Economics participates in interdiscipli-

nary minors at the University. Course work offered by the

Department contributes to the Minor in Urban Studies. For fur-

ther information, please consult the section entitled “Universi-

ty-Wide Curriculum” in this Undergraduate Catalog.

HONORS IN ECONOMICS

Candidates for honors must fulfill the general require-

ments for participation in the University Honors Program

and must be Economics majors with a GPA of 3.30 overall

and 3.75 or higher in Economics courses. Students will be

expected to complete 6 hours of coursework designated as

honors coursework within the Department of Economics.

These could include ECO 105 honors, or 2 in-course honors

at the 200- or 300-level. In-course honors requires individual

negotiation with the faculty member teaching the course. In

addition, the achievement of honors requires the writing of a

substantial original paper. The student will enroll in Inde-

pendent Honors Study and will receive help from an

assigned faculty member. At the end of the semester the stu-

dent will make an oral presentation of the paper. One copy

of the original paper will be kept in the Department office

and be available for inspection. Honors credit will show on

the official transcript and will be stated on the diploma.

interdisciplinary minors at the University. Course work

offered by the Department contributes to the following

minors: African Studies; African-American Studies; Latin

American, Caribbean, and Latino/a Studies; Middle Eastern

and South Asian Studies; Native American Studies; and

Urban Studies. For further information on these minors and

their advisors, please consult the University-Wide Curricu-

lum section of this Undergraduate Catalog.

HONORS IN HISTORY

Honors work in the Department of History has been

designed to offer to qualified undergraduates the opportu-

nity to develop an independent, individualized program of

study while working closely with departmental faculty in

the field of their special interest.

Admission Requirements:

To be admitted to the Honors Program, students must

have at least sophomore standing, have taken nine hours in

history, and have a minimum GPA of 3.50 in History.

Recommendation of at least one member of the departmen-

tal faculty is required as is the approval of the departmental

Honors Director. Students may also be invited to apply by a

faculty member. In specific cases these requirements may be

waived but only with the express approval of the Honors

Director and the History Department Chairperson.

Honors Study Requirements:

Students in the Honors Program will complete a mini-

mum of 9 hours of Honors-level work. The following

requirements constitute the minimum program:

A. History 296: Historiography and Historical Method (3

hours.) Consent of instructor required; 3.50 GPA in Histo-

ry; Majors only. This class serves as a foundation for

honors work. A student in the University Honors Pro-

gram may arrange with the Honors Program Office for

this course to count as the Honors participation

requirement for continuation of that program.

B. History 299: Independent Honors Study (Honors, 3

hours.) 296 or concurrent registration required;

admission to departmental honors program; consent

of department. This course gives students the oppor-

tunity to work with an individual faculty member to

devise and research a project of the student’s choice.

Students will begin drafting the honors thesis in

preparation for History 301.

C. History 301: Honors Thesis (Honors, 3 hours.) HIS 296

and 299; admission to department honors program; con-

sent of department. HIS 301 can be counted for the His-

tory 300 SENIOR SEMINAR major required. Cannot

be taken CR/NC. Formerly HIS 294. The course pro-

vides the student with the opportunity to complete the

writing of the honors thesis and to present a summary of

the thesis at a public forum or defend the thesis before

relevant faculty.

GRADUATION WITH HONORS

To graduate with Honors in the Department of History

the student will be expected to complete the program out-

lined above and to maintain grades in departmental subjects

so as to finish with an overall History average of 3.50. The

Director of Departmental Honors and the History Depart-

ment Chairperson will regularly evaluate students in the pro-

gram. Any student whose work does not meet the minimal

standards of the program will not be allowed to continue.

History Programs

Degrees Offered: B.A., B.S.

MAJOR IN HISTORY

Admission to the History major, including the History-

Social Sciences Teacher Certification Sequence, may be

restricted by the lack of available Department resources.

The Department of History encourages students seeking

bachelor’s degrees to develop both global and multidiscipli-

nary approaches to the study of history and to apply these

methods to their studies in other disciplines. To develop their

skills of historical analysis and to learn to think critically

about historical accounts, students complete HIS 200 and

300. To acquire both a well-rounded and a global under-

standing of historical processes, students are required to take

6 hours each in the 3 fields of European, non-Western, and

United States History.

The Department of History recognizes the value of lan-

guage to the study of history from a global perspective. For

this reason, the department recommends all students major-

ing in history complete a Bachelor of Arts program. Those

students majoring in history but choosing to pursue a Bache-

lor of Sciences program must complete a minor program.

B.A. students are encouraged to improve their career

opportunities by minoring in another discipline. B.A. stu-

dents not opting for a minor must choose an area of concen-

tration by taking a minimum of 9 hours in any field other

than history or foreign language; at least 3 of these hours

must be in 200- or 300-level courses. B.A. students are

encouraged to continue their language studies beyond the 12

hours required by the Bachelor of Arts.

B.A. and B.S. students in either the History (non-teach-

ing) or History-Social Sciences Teacher Certification

Sequence must complete or be concurrently enrolled in

HIS 200 before enrolling in any other 200-level History

course and must complete HIS 200 before enrolling in any

300-level History course. HIS 300 is a capstone course to

be taken in the student’s last full semester on campus. For

students in the History-Social Sciences Teacher Certifica-

tion Sequence, this would be the semester just prior to stu-

dent teaching.

Students must fulfill the following requirements:

Major in History, B.A.

— 36 hours in History required.

— Required courses: HIS 101, 102, 135, 136, 200, 300; 6

non-Western electives must be at the senior level.

— 21 hours at the upper-division level (includes HIS 200

and 300). Of those 21 hours, 9 hours must be at the 300-

level (includes HIS 300). HIS 200 is a prerequisite/co-

requisite for all other 200-level and prerequisite for all

300-level History courses.

— Students must choose one of the following courses as an

elective: HIS 104, 111, 112, or 131.

— Students are encouraged to complete a minor; but, if

a minor is not selected, they must complete a 9-hour

concentration in any field other than history or for-

eign language, with at least 3 hours at the upper-divi-

INTEGRATED BACHELOR OF ARTS (B.A.) AND

MASTER OF ARTS (M.A.) IN LANGUAGES,

LITERATURES, AND CULTURES

The Integrated Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) and Master of

Arts (M.A.) in Languages, Literatures, and Cultures enables

a student to complete the B.A. and M.A. degrees in five

years. It is available to the most promising Illinois State Uni-

versity, non-teacher education majors in French, German, or

Spanish. Students with a 3.50 G.P.A. or higher may apply

after they have completed at least two 200-level courses.

Applications must be made to Admissions. Two letters of

recommendation and a writing sample should be sent to the

Department of Languages, Literatures, and Cultures.

Students accepted into the program must have suffi-

cient undergraduate credits (approximately 90 hours) by

their senior year in order to take courses for graduate as

well as undergraduate credit. They do not normally com-

plete a second undergraduate major.

All regular undergraduate requirements for the B.A.

degree outside of the major will apply to candidates for

the integrated degree.

Candidates generally take nine hours of graduate credit

during their senior year and eighteen (18) hours of graduate

credit during their graduate (fifth) year, and one course for

joint credit, for the equivalent of thirty (30) graduate hours.

Fifteen (15) course hours must be at the 400 level and

approved as part of the graduate plan of study. All courses

required for the regular B.A. will be completed by the end of

the senior year. Should a student decide to leave the integrat-

ed B.A./M.A. program and complete only a B.A., all regular

undergraduate degree requirements will apply.

The two semesters of graduate study must take place at

Illinois State University. B.A./M.A. students are eligible to

receive a graduate assistantship during their graduate year

and, if they have already completed 120 hours, during the

last semester of their fourth year. One hundred forty-seven

(147) hours are required for the integrated program. Upon

completion of the program, both a Bachelor of Arts degree

and a Master of Arts degree will be awarded.

French Sequence: In addition to the 27 hours of graduate

study, the French Sequence requires 35 hours of under-

graduate study, including French 115, 116, 213, 214, 220,

235 or 335, 305, and four additional 300-level courses

approved by the Department.

German Sequence: In addition to the 27 hours of graduate

study, the German Sequence requires 35 hours of undergrad-

uate study, including German 115, 116, 211, 213, 217, and

undergraduate study, including Spanish 116 or 120, 213,

215, 223, 233, 305; two courses among 323, 324, or 325;

and three courses among 310, 311, 336, 337, 360, 385. Only

students beginning study at Spanish 116 or higher are eligi-

ble for this sequence.

must be completed with an average GPA of 3.00 or higher

in at least three of the following areas: culture, linguistics,

General Department Information

The mission of the Department of Accounting is to

provide high-quality, student-centered educational pro-

grams for students preparing for professional careers in

accounting and information systems; to support research

and other scholarly activities consistent with these pro-

grams; and to perform service activities for the Depart-

ment, the College of Business, the University, and other

organizations consistent with these programs. In addition,

our mission includes establishing relationships with outside

organizations that support our programs, students, and fac-

ulty. Providing introductory and other courses in account-

ing and information systems to non-major students, as a

service to other departments within the College and Uni-

versity, is also fundamental to our mission.

The goals of the Department of Accounting are as follows:

1. Our first priority is to develop student potential through

high quality pedagogy and educational experiences.

2. Our second priority is to perform applied, basic, and

instructional research that complements our educa-

tional programs.

3. Our third priority is to participate in internal and exter-

nal service activities which complement our educational

programs and research activities, and build partnerships

with key constituencies.

The curriculum is designed to provide students with the

common body of knowledge established by the accounting

profession for those entering the profession.

The Department of Accounting offers a 120-hour Bach-

elor of Science (B.S.) with a major in Accountancy and a

150-hour combined Bachelor of Science and Master of Pro-

fessional Accountancy (B.S./M.P.A.) degrees. Both pro-

grams are described below. The B.S. has four sequences of

study: Accounting Information Systems, Business Informa-

tion Systems, Career Specialty, and Financial Accounting.

The B.S./M.P.A. has two sequences: Accountancy and Infor-

mation Systems and Professional Accountancy. Each

sequence is intended to provide its graduates with the neces-

sary foundation for a successful career, including the ability

to pass professional examinations.

Students should select a sequence based upon their

interests and career goals. Department advisors and fac-

ulty members are available to counsel students as they

make this decision.

Courses completed in the Department of Accounting at

this University with grades below C will not count toward

the graduation requirements of either the Accountancy

Major or Minor, but all grades of D, F, and WF in Account-

ing courses at this University will be included in computing

the cumulative GPA.

Honors Program Requirements:

The Department offers honors work in the different

departmental programs to majors who have fulfilled the gen-

eral requirements for participation in the University Honors

Program and completed 60 semester hours with a cumulative

Illinois State University GPA of 3.30 (A = 4.00) and a 3.50

GPA in Accounting courses. Students interested in the pro-

gram should see the departmental advisor. Requirements for

honors in the Accounting Honors Program are available in

the departmental office.

Program Admission Requirements for New and

Continuing Students:

All majors in the Department of Accounting must meet

the academic, admission, and transfer requirements of the

College of Business. Non-majors must have the prerequi-

sites, including the specific number of hours, to enroll in

courses in the Department. Certain courses are restricted to

Accountancy majors only.

Admission to this academic program is limited and is

based on space availability and the competitiveness of the

applicant pool. Factors that may be considered include, but

are not limited to: courses completed, cumulative GPA,

hours completed, personal interview or written statement,

and samples of work completed. For additional information

on minimum requirements for admission and the application

and selection process, visit www.FindYourMajor.ilstu.edu or

contact the undergraduate advisor for the intended major.

Students considering the separate Master of Science in

Accountancy degree program should apply to Graduate

School early in their senior year. Students who previously

have completed a baccalaureate degree outside of Account-

ing should consider applying directly into the Master of Sci-

ence in Accountancy program.

Accountancy Programs

MAJOR IN ACCOUNTANCY

Degree Offered: B.S.

After completing the 100-level Business Core courses,

the Accountancy major must complete ACC 230 and 231

with a minimum grade of C in each and a 2.50 GPA in all

attempts of these two courses. Prerequisites for ACC 230

and 231 require a minimum B/C grade combination of ACC

131 and 132.

In addition, an Accountancy major must complete

requirements under one of the following sequences:

Accounting Information Systems, Business Information Sys-

tems, Career Specialty, and Financial Accounting. Descrip-

tions of each sequence follow.

Accounting Information Systems Sequence:

This sequence is designed to provide entry-level

accountants with information systems and technology skills

and competencies as recommended by the International

Federation of Accountants (IFAC). This sequence would

prepare accountants to be a user of information technology

and an evaluator of information systems (e.g., internal or

external auditor).

This sequence is designed to prepare students for

entry level accounting positions requiring significant

training in Business Information Systems. This prepara-

tion is particularly valuable in accounting consulting posi-

tions, certain auditing positions, and in many progressive

industrial positions.

— Students selecting the Business Information Systems

Accounting Sequence must complete the following 74

required hours: BUS 100; ACC 131, 132, 230, 231, 232,

consist of upper-division courses in a specialized area of

study, typically in business, economics, or areas of

information technology offered by Accounting (or, if not

offered by Accounting, by other departments). A stu-

dent's plan of specialized study for the Career Specialty

Sequence must be:

a) developed in the semester following successful

completion of ACC 230 and ACC 231;

INTEGRATED BACHELOR OF SCIENCE (B.S.)

MASTER OF PROFESSIONAL ACCOUNTANCY

(M.P.A.):

Degrees offered: B.S., M.P.A.

The integrated B.S./M.P.A. Degrees program is primari-

ly oriented toward preparation for professional careers in

accounting. Two sequences are offered: (1) Accountancy

and Information Systems, and (2) Professional Accountan-

cy. Both sequences permit graduates to meet minimum

education requirements to sit for the Uniform Certified Pub-

lic Accountant (CPA) Examination in Illinois. The Accoun-

tancy and Information Systems sequence permits students to

emphasize study of information systems related to account-

ing and other business fields more than the Professional

Accountancy sequence, which permits students to study fur-

ther in such areas as taxation, auditing, financial accounting,

managerial accounting, financial management, and informa-

tion systems.

The 150-hour B.S./M.P.A. program generally includes

30 hours of graduate course work. Successful completion

of the integrated program will culminate by granting simul-

taneously both B.S. and M.P.A. degrees. The B.S./M.P.A.

integrated program is designed for students wishing to

complete both degrees at Illinois State University. The pro-

gram is not designed to admit students who have already

completed a bachelor’s degree.

Students must successfully apply for continuance in

the B.S./M.P.A. program in their junior year (after 60

semester hours). Graduate admission would take place after

the student has completed approximately 90 hours. Stu-

dents will be admitted who meet graduate entrance require-

ments, which include satisfactory performance on the

Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT), their pre-

vious academic performance, and other evidence of their

ability to successfully complete the program. Admission

timing is very important to successfully complete the pro-

gram so students should regularly consult with their

Accounting undergraduate or graduate advisor.

Core courses: Students selecting either sequence

must complete BUS 100, ACC 131, 132, 230, 231, 232,

233, 235, 260, 261, 263, 270, 430, 482, 497; FIL 185,

240, 375; MKT 230; MQM 100, 220, 227, 385; ECO 105;

ENG 145.13, MAT 121 or 145. NOTE: MAT 120 is a

prerequisite for MAT 121.

Accountancy and Information Systems Sequence:

In addition to core courses, students must complete

(a) 9 hours from ACC 368, 468, and 472; (b) 9 hours of

Accounting electives, of which 6 hours are chosen from

ACC 431, 434, 435, 439, or 498, and 3 additional hours

chosen from ACC 330, 334, 336, 337, 340, 431, 434, 435,

439, or 498; and (c) 6 additional hours of Accounting or

business electives.

Professional Accountancy Sequence:

In addition to core courses, students must complete (a)

15 hours of Accounting electives, of which 6 hours are

chosen from ACC 431, 434, 435, 439, or 498, and 9 addi-

tional hours are chosen from ACC 330, 334, 336, 337, 340,

431, 434, 435, 439; (b) 3 hours from FIL 440, ACC 468,

472, or other approved 400-level elective outside of the

accounting discipline; and (c) 6 additional hours chosen

from either courses listed in (a) of this paragraph or from

ACC 375, 398, 468, 472, 498 (of which no more than 3

hours may be ACC 398 or 498).

NOTE: Students in either sequence who wish to enhance

their chances of passing the CPA examination should

include in their plan of study the following advanced

accounting courses: ACC 330, 334, 336, 337.

Requirements for CPA Examination:

Academic requirements to sit for the CPA examination

in Illinois include (1) 150 semester hours of college course

work, and (2) a baccalaureate or higher degree, including at

least 24 semester hours in accounting at the undergraduate

and/or graduate level with at least one course each in finan-

cial accounting, auditing, taxation, and management

accounting and at least 24 semester hours in business

courses (other than accounting) at the undergraduate and/or

graduate level.

Students planning to sit for the CPA examination are

advised to complete, at a minimum, the Financial Account-

ing Sequence of the Accountancy B.S. program. Students

should also give serious consideration to completing one or

more of the following formal programs of study before

leaving the Illinois State campus to begin their professional

careers: The Bachelor of Science/Master of Professional

Accountancy Program described above, a Master of Science

degree in Accountancy, a Master of Business Administra-

tion degree, or one of the other sequences of the Accountan-

cy B.S. (the Accounting Information Systems Sequence, the

Business Information Systems Sequence, or the Career Spe-

ciality Sequence). Each sequence is 12 hours beyond the

Financial Accounting Sequence. Additional information

concerning the 150-hour requirement, including recom-

mended areas of course work for students not pursuing an

B.S./M.P.A., M.S., or M.B.A. degree, is available from the

academic advisors.

General Information

The Business Teacher Education program focuses on

developing business, marketing and computer educators

through the pursuit of Illinois State University’s conceptual

framework for teacher education: “Realizing the Democratic

Ideal.” The BTE program prepares students for teacher certi-

fication requirements for the State of Illinois by embracing

state and national teacher education standards established by

the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE), National

Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE),

International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE),

and National Association of Business Teacher Education

(NABTE) This program prepares graduates for secondary

teaching positions as well as elementary and middle school

level positions (special K-12 certification).

Students should note that:

1. Business Teacher Education majors must meet the

academic, admission, and transfer requirements of the

College of Business. Non-majors must have the pre-

requisites, including the specified number of hours, to

The College of Education includes the Departments of

Curriculum and Instruction, Special Education, Educational

Administration and Foundations, the Office of Clinical

Experiences and Certification Processes in the Teacher Edu-

cation Center, and the Laboratory Schools. A research and

service unit is also included in the College of Education.

The mission of the College of Education is to trans-

form 21st century learning..

The preparation and continuing professional develop-

ment of educators is the core of this mission. The guiding

framework for teacher education at Illinois State Univer-

sity, “Realizing the Democratic Ideal,” captures the val-

ues of education programs: “To teach in a democracy is

self-consciously to take up the burden of improving the

ethical and intellectual quality of our societal dialogue by

including in it as many educated voices as possible.” A

comprehensive offering of degree, certification, and out-

reach programs operated year round at both undergradu-

ate and graduate levels constitutes the primary

mechanism through which the mission is fulfilled.

The College also fulfills its strategic mission of influ-

encing education by interacting directly with practitioners in

the field in a variety of partnerships in schools and other

associations and agencies. In addition, the College is an

active participant in discussions related to educational policy

development within national, state, and local arenas.

MAJOR IN MIDDLE LEVEL TEACHER EDUCATION

Professional Requirements:

— 40 hours in Professional Education required. Part of entitle-

ment program leading to certification: Elementary K-9.

— Required courses: C&I 130, 210, 233, 306, 333, 390,

395, 399.55 (12 hours of Student Teaching); EAF 228

or 231 or 235; PSY 302; PSY 346 or 347 or SED 101.

— In addition, effective February 1, 2012 students who are

applying for their initial teaching certification or addition-

al endorsements must have a grade of C or better in all

coursework required as part of their certification program.

This includes all endorsement areas, major courses and

professional education.

Content Area Requirements:

— Appropriate preparation in 2 or more content areas listed

below is required.

The major in Middle Level Teacher Education, a pro-

gram of professional development for those who wish to

teach at the middle school-level of education, consists of

three broad areas of preparation. These are: General Edu-

cation requirements for certification which are listed in

the section on Teacher Education; Professional Require-

ments which are listed above; and Content Area Require-

ments, the character of which are described below. Upon

satisfactorily completing this program, the student will

meet the State of Illinois requirements for Elementary

certification (K-9).

Curriculum and Instruction advisors will assist the Middle

Level Teacher Education major in planning course work in

both a primary and secondary content area.

Primary Content Area:

A student must complete specified hours from one of

these content areas: Science, Industrial Technology,

Curriculum and Instruction

Pgs 259 to 270(2) COE mary.qxp:Pgs 263 to 272 COE.qxp 3/30/10 10:29 AM Page 261

262

Social Sciences, Mathematics, Reading, Language Arts, or

Physical Education.

Secondary Content Area:

In addition to the primary specialization, a student

must complete a minimum of 18 hours (completes the State

of Illinois minimum requirements for teaching in a second

field) in another content area selected from those listed

above, or from Health Education. NOTE: Middle Level

majors must choose at least one of the four core curriculum

areas (mathematics, science, social sciences, language arts)

as either their primary or secondary content area.

Unlike preparation for senior high school teaching, the

middle school demands broad preparation across the sever-

al disciplines that constitute a subject area at this level. To

meet these broad field demands in their selected teaching

areas, pre-service teachers in the Illinois State program are

guided through coursework that is specifically attuned to

the curriculum requirements of the middle school.

A primary feature of the Middle Level Teacher Educa-

tion program is the experience that the pre-service teacher

gains in working with young adolescent youth in the school

environment. Simultaneously with the course work in the

categories previously described, the student in the program

engages in a variety of clinical experiences working with

students in middle schools. Students that begin their last year

in the program during the fall semester will be placed in a

year-long partnership program for their senior year teacher

education experience. Partnership schools may be located in

any area of Illinois. In fulfilling its strong commitment to

young adolescent education, Illinois State University works

closely with these schools to provide maximal opportunities

for majors in the development of teacher-student interaction

skills. Students that begin their last year in the program dur-

ing the spring semester will complete a four-week internship

in local area schools and will complete student teaching

requirements in the fall. The prescribed and voluntary intern-

ship activity aids the student in making the transition from

pre-service to in-service teaching much more effectively and

expeditiously. These activities and the other features of this

specialized program combine to provide a comprehensive

and thorough undergraduate program for teachers as special-

ists at a school level where few exist.

Certification standards and standards for school recogni-

tion by the Illinois State Board of Education relating to the

qualifications of teachers as well as those for member

schools of the North Central Association are met and consid-

erably exceeded by graduates of the Middle Level Teacher

Education program at Illinois State University.

A teacher education candidate for initial certifica-

tion must earn a grade of C or better in student teaching

in order for the Dean of the College of Education to rec-

ommend that the Evaluations Office send to the candi-

da te the proper docum en tation to apply for the

appropriate Illinois Teaching Certificate to be issued by

the Illinois State Board of Education.

Urban Education Study:

Students wishing preparation for working with urban

populations may elect to complete Urban Education. Urban

Education is not a certified area but is an elective option

available to students in Elementary Education, Middle Level

Education, Special K-12, High School, Early Childhood, and

Special Education programs. Course content and Clinical

Experiences are individually designed in keeping with the

specific Teacher Education program of the student.

The following includes both on and off-campus course

work experiences in both school and non-school educational

settings, and in agency activities: C&I 110—Introduction to

Multicultural Education (3 hours), C&I 232—Urban Educa-

tion: An Introduction (3 hours), C&I 312—Urban Field

Experiences (6 hours off campus), and C&I 398—Profes-

sional Practice: School/Community Involvement (3 hours).

SECONDARY EDUCATION NOTE

: It is recommended

that students progress through the Professional Education

requirements in the following order:

1. PSY 215 (Educational Psychology), 3 hours and

C&I 212 (Issues in Secondary Education), 2 hours.

2. EAF 228 (Social Foundations), or EAF 231 (Introduction

to Philosophy of Education), or EAF 235 (Historical

Foundations), 3 hours.

3. Begin the process leading to Admission to Professional

Studies. This may require more than one semester. See

the Index for Admission to Professional Studies details.

Take the State of Illinois Basic Skills Test in reading,

writing, and mathematics as soon as possible. Students

must pass all sections of the State of Illinois

Enhanced Basic Skills Test before they can register

for C&I 214 and 216.

4. C&I 214 (Literacy in the Content Areas of Secondary

Education) and C&I 216 (Instructional and Evaluative

Methods in Secondary Education), 3 hours each.

5. Special Methods course(s) and student teaching as

required by each academic department. Check with the

advisor in your major department for specific course

numbers. Students in Secondary Teacher Education may

wish to obtain Middle Level endorsement so they are

qualified to teach grades 6-12 instead of 9-12. To do so,

students must take C&I 233.01 and PSY 302.

CLINICAL EXPERIENCES IN TEACHER EDUCATION

Clinical Experiences are provided in off-campus clin-

ical teaching centers, in local schools, professional devel-

opment schools, campus laboratory schools, agencies and

other approved non-school settings. All students will show

verification of having completed pre-student teaching field

experiences commensurate with attaining local, state, and

national standards. Students must provide their own trans-

portation to Clinical Experience sites

The approximate number of clinical hours and type of

activity associated with each course offering can be found with

the appropriate course description. The following legend relates

to the type and kind of activity related to a specific course.

Art Programs

Degrees Offered: B.A., B.S., B.F.A.

MAJOR IN ART (B.A., B.S.)

Academic Requirements:

Students seeking admission to the Major in Art must

comply with criteria established by the School of Art,

including submission of a portfolio of work for review by

the School. Students interested in the Art History Sequence

will submit a statement explaining their interest in the field,

in lieu of the portfolio. Specific requirements for the portfo-

lio and statement may be obtained from the School office.

To graduate with a Major in Art (B.A., B.S.) students

must complete all requirements of one of the School of Art’s

Sequences: Studio Arts, Graphic Design, Art History, or

Teacher Education. They must also earn grades of C or bet-

ter and maintain a 2.50 GPA in all courses taken in the

School of Art, in addition to maintaining a cumulative GPA

of at least 2.00. Individual sequences may have higher

requirements. Courses in the Major may be repeated no

more than once for the purpose of attaining the necessary

minimum grade. Students may not enroll for the next course

in a related series until the minimum grade in the prerequi-

site course is achieved. Incoming transfer students must

retake courses considered equivalents to courses in the

Major for which they earned lower than a grade of C. Stu-

dents who do not meet these criteria will be placed on proba-

tion with the School of Art; a student placed on probation

more than once will be dropped from the School.

NOTE: Admission to some Sequences in Art may be

restricted by the lack of available School resources,

especially in times of oversubscription.

All Sequences in the Major in Art require successful

completion of the Art History Core, the Foundations pro-

gram appropriate to that sequence, a series of courses spe-

cific to the chosen sequence, and electives in Art.

Students must complete all Sequence Foundations courses

before being permitted to continue in one of the

sequences in the Art major; gifted students may be

allowed to take 200-level courses in their areas of interest

during the freshman year, pending approval of the School.

Students must also complete all Art History Core courses

before they may enroll in 300-level Art History courses.

Requirements for each Sequence are described below.

NOTE: Some Sequences, Graphic Design for example,

have screening procedures that students must pass before

being accepted; information on these may be found in the

School of Art office.

Students must make every effort to complete the

required Foundations courses in their first three semesters

in the program. Under most circumstances students will

formally declare intention to enter a particular sequence

in the Art major in the second semester of the sophomore

year. Students will arrange to participate in screening

requirements for their preferred sequence; those not

accepted into competitive sequences may be reconsidered

the following semester and should consult with appropri-

ate faculty for advice before rescreening. Also in the

sophomore year, students will begin enrolling in courses

appropriate to their sequence of interest. In the case of the

Studio Arts Sequence, this also requires declaring a spe-

cific Discipline Area in consultation with the School’s

academic advisor. Required courses for the various Disci-

plines are listed below.

Studio Arts Sequence:

Degrees offered: B.A., B.S.

The Studio Arts Sequence emphasizes both breadth

and depth of competence in Studio-based Art disciplines. It

expands students’ horizons beyond the Foundations level

with work in a variety of media and disciplines. By requir-

ing intensive study, it develops depth within at least one

Studio discipline (ceramics, drawing, glass, intaglio, lithog-

Mission

The mission of Mennonite College of Nursing is to edu-

cate undergraduate and graduate nursing students to serve

the citizens of Illinois, the nation, and the global community.

Mennonite College of Nursing acknowledges a particular

responsibility to address the nursing and health care needs of

urban and rural populations, including those who are vulner-

able and underserved. The College of Nursing builds upon

the educational foundation previously acquired by students.

The College creates a dynamic community of learning in

which reflective thinking and ethical decision-making are

valued. The College is committed to the promotion of nurs-

ing scholarship at the national and international level

through research, service, and practice. Mennonite College

of Nursing is committed to being purposeful, open, just, car-

ing, disciplined, and celebrative.

Philosophy

At the heart of the College's philosophy is the belief

that all people share a common humanity. Each person

must be regarded as having special biological, psycholog-

ical, sociocultural and spiritual dimensions and possess-

ing the inherent rights and responsibilities of freedom of

choice and self-determination. Based on these beliefs, the

College strives to grow as a caring community that sup-

ports the development of the total individual.

A vital interactive relationship exists between

humankind and the environment. Environment affects

each person's biological being and extends beyond physi-

cal surroundings to encompass roles, relationships, and

societal structures. Because all human beings influence

and are influenced by their environment, all must assume

the responsibility to protect the social and natural envi-

ronments in which they shar

Health is a dynamic state influenced by individual,

environmental and hereditary factors. State of health,

which significantly influences quality of life, is shaped by

many factors, including an individual's decision-making

and behaviors. Pursuit of wellness is the right and respon-

sibility of each person. Nursing holds the potential to

strengthen each human being pursuing optimal health and

achieving a harmony of body, mind and spirit.

Nursing is a profession that continues to evolve through

research, theory, and practice. Professional nursing, encom-

passing a range of therapeutic interventions aimed at promot-

ing and restoring health, addresses actual and potential health

care needs of individuals, families, groups, and communities.

Nursing care is delivered in diverse settings in a systematic

manner through use of the nursing process. In providing their

professional services, practitioners of nursing manifest role

dimensions that are collaborative and independent in nature.

Because dynamic social forces influence the nature and scope

of nursing practice, critical thinking, effective communica-

tion, and caring are abilities required for professional nursing

practice in changing environments.

As a profession, nursing adheres to standards of practice

and ethical codes as a means of ensuring quality care for all

persons. The current Illinois Nursing Act serves as the legal

basis for the practice of nursing in the State of Illinois.

Mennonite College of Nursing is committed to cultivating

the personal and professional potential of each member of the

College community. The faculty believe that learning as a life-

long process is promoted when intellectual inquiry, creativity,

self-awareness, self-direction, maturity, and responsibility are

valued. Learning is a process of developing human potential

through the interaction of the individual with the environment.

This interaction aims to achieve positive attitude changes,

knowledge acquisition, and professional competence.

The faculty of Mennonite College of Nursing believe

that the knowledge, attitudes, and skills required for profes-

sional nursing are best achieved when built upon a solid

foundation of study in the humanities and sciences. The fac-

ulty value a liberal arts education, which fosters an under-

standing of society and provides a humanistic basis for the

study of nursing. Baccalaureate nursing education prepares

the graduate for the practice of professional nursing and pro-

vides the basis for graduate study in nursing. Masters-level

nursing education prepares nursing leaders and advanced

practitioners, advances nursing scholarship, and provides the

foundation for doctoral study.

The College offers a graduate program leading to the

Master of Science in Nursing. The College offers a Family

Nurse Practitioner Sequence, Clinical Nurse Leader

Sequence, Nurse Educator Certificate, and a Nursing Systems

Administration Sequence, as well as a Post Master's Family

Nurse Practitioner (FNP) Certificate. A Doctoral program in

nursing with a focal area in aging is also offered.

Terminal Outcome Abilities

Upon completion of the baccalaureate nursing pro-

gram, the graduate will possess the following terminal

outcome abilities.

Caring: The student will use a variety of caring modali-

ties that promote health, healing, and dignity throughout

the life span.

Critical Thinking: The student will use critical thinking to

make judgments and develop therapeutic nursing interven-

tions for optimal health.

Communication: The student will communicate effectively

with individuals, families, and groups.

(3) an assessment of each student’s preparedness to be suc-

cessful on the state licensing exam (NCLEX-RN); and (4)

intervention guidelines to address any deficiencies that a stu-

dent may demonstrate in understanding and applying theoret-

ical and clinical knowledge related to clinical courses. Details

of the Success Plan are available on the College of Nursing

Website at IllinoisState.edu/nursing.

Clinical Experience for Nursing:

Clinical Experience is provided by an extensive clinical

network of over 50 off-campus agencies including but not

limited to hospitals, nursing homes, community centers,

public health departments, long-term care facilities and other

approved clinical learning settings. All Prelicensure students

will begin their Clinical Experiences in the junior year. The

students must provide their own transportation to all Clinical

Experience sites.

Student Health Requirements:

Nursing is a rigorous profession requiring physical flexi-

bility and mobility (i.e. lifting patients, moving equipment,

and responding quickly in emergency situations). Students are

expected to receive a physical examination upon acceptance to

the program. The physical form requires students to provide

information regarding physical limitations. Awareness of

one’s physical limitations is vital in ensuring patient safety.

Criminal Background Checks:

All students enrolled in the Mennonite College of

Nursing Prelicensure Sequence, including the Accelerated

Option, will be required to complete criminal background

checks prior to enrollment.

Clinical Experiences in the student’s field are required

in the course.

Materials charge optional indicates an optional fee

charge for course materials.

for credit more than once if different content is planned;

however, there may be a maximum amount of credit speci-

fied for the course.

Not for credit if had (course) means that content overlap

exists between the specified courses and that students should

not be able to count both toward graduation. Such courses are

not, however, considered interchangeable in meeting all

requirements.

Not for credit major/minor means that the credit

from this course may not be applied to the major or minor

program requirements.

Variable credit courses are those courses leading to

differing number of credit hours. For example: Student

student should plan with the advisor the number of hours to

be sought in a variable credit course.
