2004-06 IUPUI Campus Bulletin

The policies, regulations, and course descriptions that appear in this edition of the Bulletin are for the academic years specified. Curricular requirements are for students who entered the university or were admitted to a degree program during these specific academic years. As the "bulletin year" (the student's entry year) will be defined differently from school to school at IUPUI, consult your academic advisor to be sure you are using the appropriate edition of the Bulletin.

While every effort is made to provide accurate and current information, IUPUI reserves the right to change without notice statements in this bulletin concerning rules, policies, fees, curricula, courses, or other matters. Consult your academic advisor to learn if changes have occurred that may affect you.

Academic Policies

Program Planning and Counseling

The School of Liberal Arts provides counseling services to assist students in planning their program of study. Students pursuing an Associate of Arts and those who have not yet chosen a major area of study are counseled through the School of Liberal Arts Office of Student Affairs, Cavanaugh Hall 401, (317) 274-3976. Students who have chosen a major are assigned a departmental faculty advisor and should make an appointment with that advisor before each registration period in order to discuss long-term goals as well as specific course work for the upcoming semester. Students are expected to consult with their advisors on a regular basis to ensure ongoing progress toward a degree.

However, students—not their advisors—are responsible for their programs. They should be thoroughly familiar with the general requirements for an SLA degree as well as with those of the department they plan to major in. Students are urged to complete most, if not all, of their general-education requirements during the freshman and sophomore years.

In planning a program, students should refer to both the Schedule of Classes and this bulletin. Special attention should be paid to course descriptions and prerequisites. This bulletin identifies prerequisites with a ‘‘P,’’ corequisites with a ‘‘C,’’ and recommended courses with an ‘‘R.’’ Students should not enroll in courses for which they do not have the prerequisites. Instructors may require a student to drop a class if the student has not fulfilled the prerequisites.

Pass/Fail (P/F) Option

Any School of Liberal Arts undergraduate in good standing (not on probation) may enroll in a maximum of eight elective courses to be taken with a grade of P (pass) or F (fail). The Pass/Fail option can be used for a maximum of two courses per year, including summer sessions. The course selected for Pass/Fail must be an elective. It may not be used to satisfy any of the major or school distribution requirements, with the exception of the 300 to 400 level course requirement (Area III).

Final Examinations

Final examinations or other activities in lieu of a final are to be scheduled during finals week at the time indicated in the Schedule of Classes. Students scheduled for three or more finals in a 24-hour period may have their examination schedule adjusted. They should notify the instructors involved by midsemester to determine if they are willing to schedule an alternate examination. Students having problems with an instructor may consult the chair of the department or the Office of Student Affairs, Cavanaugh Hall 401, (317) 274-3976.

Forgiveness Policy

The School of Liberal Arts has adopted a modified version of the IUPUI forgiveness policy for students who have been out of school for three years. For more information about the policy, call (317) 274-3976 or come to Cavanaugh Hall 401.

Petition for Grade Change

Either students or faculty members may petition for a change in course grade. A student desiring a change of grade shall first discuss the situation with the instructor. If the instructor agrees, and no more than one full semester has elapsed since the course was finished, the faculty member shall file a Grade Change Authorization Form with the Office of the Dean of Student Affairs. If more than one full semester has elapsed, the faculty member still files the Grade Change Authorization Form, but the form may be sent to the SLA Academic Affairs Committee, depending on the reason given for the change of grade.

If the instructor and student do not agree on a changed grade, or if the instructor cannot be located, the student should discuss the matter with the chairperson, director, or coordinator of the department or program in which the course was offered. Following that, the student may petition the SLA Academic Affairs Committee directly, using the Change of Grade Petition Form; these forms are available in the Office of the Dean of Student Affairs. The petition must include

a statement of an attempted but unsuccessful interview with the faculty member and chair,
supporting evidence for the petition

Academic Standing

Academic Probation

Students are placed on academic probation when their cumulative grade point average falls below 2.0 (C), and they remain on probation until the cumulative grade point average is 2.0 (C) or better. Note: Only IUPUI grades will be considered in determining probation and dismissal. Students on probation are encouraged to talk with their faculty advisor or with a counselor in the Office of Student Affairs (Cavanaugh Hall 401), (317) 274-8304, or IUPUI Counseling and Psychological Services, (317) 274-2548, to determine how they may become more successful in their studies. Students on probation must go to their faculty advisors before registering. Students without a faculty advisor should go to the Office of Student Affairs.

Students who have two semesters with a grade point average below 2.0 (C) may be placed on probation at the discretion of the School of Liberal Arts Dean of Students regardless of their cumulative grade point average, since they are failing to make progress toward a degree.

Dismissal

Students will be dismissed from the School of Liberal Arts when they have a cumulative grade point average lower than 2.0 (C) and grade point averages of lower than 2.0 (C) for two semesters. (For part-time students, 12 credit hours or fewer may be considered equivalent to one semester.) Students eligible for dismissal will be notified in writing that they have been dismissed and that they must remain out of school at least one semester. The letter will also inform such students that they will be withdrawn from classes for which they have registered. Once dismissed, students must petition for readmission. (See ‘‘Readmission.’’)

Students who have been dismissed a second time must remain out of school for at least two semesters and petition for readmission. (See ‘‘Readmission.’’)

A third dismissal is final.

Readmission

Any student who has been dismissed from the School of Liberal Arts (or its equivalent on another IU campus) must petition for readmission. A Petition for Readmission form may be obtained from the Office of Student Affairs (Cavanaugh Hall 401). Petitions for readmission must be filed by the following deadlines:

To enroll for the fall semester	July 15
To enroll for the spring semester	November 15
To enroll for summer session	April 15

Special Opportunities

Self-Acquired Competency

Credit may be granted for learning experiences acquired through means other than normal college course work. Credit is available for course-specific learning or for non–course-specific learning in (1) arts and humanities, and (2) social sciences.

Faculty will evaluate the experience and determine whether credit should be awarded and the amount of credit to be granted. Students may be asked to prepare a portfolio, take examinations, or document their learning in other suitable ways so that the faculty can make such judgments. Only 12 credit hours of self-acquired competency can be applied toward a degree. A brochure providing additional information is available in the Office of Student Affairs.

Special Study Programs

Professional Practice Program

The School of Liberal Arts faculty has approved a Professional Practice Program involving full-time or part-time internships and co-ops related to academic objectives, for the following purposes:

to provide interested and qualified SLA students with career training within an academic setting;
to assist in the development of appropriate liberal arts skills and capabilities that are applicable in jobs and careers;
to facilitate student involvement in work experiences related to the chosen academic curriculum;
to facilitate development of occupational alternatives;
to facilitate students’ self-confidence with regard to the marketability of their liberal arts training;
to foster community awareness of SLA-trained students and their capabilities.

Participating departments will work in conjunction with the IUPUI Professional Practice Program in accordance with university guidelines to provide experiences for majors. For further information, students should contact departmental advisors, or the Professional Practice Program, Business/SPEA Building 2010, or call (317) 274-2554.

Clubs and Organizations

The following organizations are of particular interest to students in the School of Liberal Arts: SLA Student Council This council, composed of student representatives from each liberal arts department, advises the dean and the School of Liberal Arts on matters of concern to students. It decides how the activity fee will be used in the school, produces a school newsletter, and coordinates Liberal Arts student involvement in campus and community events.

Department Clubs Most departments sponsor clubs and other activities for majors and interested students. Activities include guest lectures and presentations, poetry and fiction readings, visits to museums and exhibits, film viewings, an Oscar party, white-water rafting, a tour of Indiana, production of plays and special performances, debates, international cultural activities, Model United Nations, Model European Union, and more.

School Resources and Centers

Scholarly Editions

The School of Liberal Arts is home to three scholarly edition projects: the Peirce Edition Project, a contributor to the school’s research culture since 1976; and two recent arrivals, the Frederick Douglass Papers Project and the Santayana Edition. This remarkable concentration of major editions establishes IUPUI as a world center for scholarly editing and provides unique opportunities for our students and faculty.

Peirce Edition Project

Charles S. Peirce (1839-1914) was a scientist and philosopher. He is the founder of pragmatism and is considered one of America’s greatest thinkers. The primary mission of the Peirce Edition Project is to produce a 30-volume critical edition of Peirce’s writings, many never before published. The Peirce Project, supported by the National Endowment for the Humanities, is assisted by an internationally renowned team of advisors and contributors. The resources of the project, which include an extensive photocopy and microform collection of Peirce’s manuscripts and the Max H. Fisch Library (a large private collection on classical and American philosophy and on nineteenth- and early twentieth-century American culture), serve a wide community of students and researchers. The Peirce Project, with its resources and its academic staff, gives Indiana University students an opportunity to study modern critical editing and the many historical and philosophical subjects related to Peirce’s life and thought.

Frederick Douglass Papers

A runaway slave, Frederick Douglass became a leading orator and author of the abolitionist movement. Modern historians regard Douglass as the most influential African American of the nineteenth century, yet most Americans know little about this great humanitarian. The Frederick Douglass Papers Project already has published a five-volume series of the edited texts of Douglass’s principal speeches, interviews, and debates. Editors currently are working on a five-volume series of Douglass’s correspondence and a three-volume critical edition of his autobiographical writings. The Frederick Douglass Papers Project started at Yale University and moved to West Virginia University before locating at IUPUI. It is supported by the National Historical Publications and Records Commission and the National Endowment for the Humanities.

The Santayana Edition

George Santayana (1863-1952) is considered a classical American philosopher. Born in Spain, he became one of the widest-read American philosophers of his time. His naturalistic philosophy is explicated in his extensive philosophical works, but he also was a best-selling novelist, poet, and critic of culture and literature. The plan of the Santayana Edition is to produce a 20-volume critical edition. Each volume is published by MIT Press and simultaneously published in a CD-ROM format. The Santayana Edition, formerly located at Texas A & M University, is the latest arrival at IUPUI and rounds out the profile of the consortium of scholarly editions in the School of Liberal Arts, making the combined editions a real center for the study of American thought and culture. The Santayana Edition is supported by the National Endowment for the Humanities.

Public Opinion Laboratory

The Public Opinion Laboratory (POL) is the interdisciplinary survey research center at IUPUI that provides data-gathering and data-analysis services to a wide variety of private, governmental, and university organizations. It is a research center of the School of Liberal Arts but serves clients as diverse as the School of Medicine, other universities, local and national businesses, local and national media, municipal and state agencies, and the Indiana University system.

All employees are students, who gain experience in all aspects of survey research, including face-to-face, telephone, and mail surveys. The POL also conducts focus groups. The POL has a fully operational computer-assisted telephone interviewing (CATI) system with 20 stations. The POL gives students the opportunity to participate in ongoing survey research in a variety of topics, including political behavior, consumer behavior, media impact, and evaluation of programs such as medical delivery and company personnel policies.

Sussman Research Library

The Sussman Research Library, established through a contribution of the books, journals, and papers of Marvin B. Sussman, an internationally known family sociologist, is located in Cavanaugh Hall 316. The library contains an extensive collection of family science and sociology books and journals with emphasis on population/demography, aging, family violence, sexuality, medical/health, law, history, race/ethnicity, and deviance. The library is available to students, staff, and faculty for research use. Materials do not circulate.
