EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM |
An essential ingredient in academic life is the quality of interaction between faculty and students. Stillman has a highly-crendentialed faculty to teach a relatively small number of students. The ratio of faculty to students offers opportunity for deep and rich personal contacts and close supervision of the student’s work. More than 80 percent of the full-time faculty hold terminal degrees. America’s finest colleges and universities are represented on the instructional staff. ENTERING STILLMAN
Stillman invites all qualified students to apply for admission to the college. Students are admitted without regard to sex, race, religion, or ethnic origin; however, attendance at Stillman is a privilege and not a right. The College reserves the right to deny admission or readmission to students with personal problems of any type that interfere with the peace, order, and safety of the campus, or that it does not have resources to manage. Requirements for Regular Admission Freshman Class Who May Apply 1. Students who have completed a general or college-prep course of study at an accredited high school. 2. Non-immigrant students with official certificates and/or final secondary school records, mark sheets with official translations and syllabi, a passing score on the Test of English as a Foreign Language(TOEFL) and a sponsor statement of financial support. 3. Students who have received a passing score on the GED high school equivalency test. Basis for Admission to Freshman Class Stillman is a small college with a Christian ethos. In selecting students, character and other personal traits may be taken into account. Every applicant must present satisfactory credentials as to all these factors, as well as the state of his/her health. The final decision regarding admittance is based on the following: 1. Secondary school record. 2. Level of performance on the American College Test (ACT) or American Scholastic Aptitude Test of the College Entrance Examination Board (SAT). 3. Recommendations of school principals and other persons qualified to render judgments concerning applicants. 4. Personal background, experience, and apparent character traits. 5. Health record. Previous Preparation Required The number of units required for admissions of high school graduates to Stillman is usually identical to the state-imposed requirements for graduation from Alabama high schools; however, provision is made for the acceptance of students from states with less stringent requirements for graduation from high school. Applicants must have completed four units of study in English, two in Mathematics, one in History, and one in Natural Science. The remainder of the work may be comprised of electives. A unit of study means the study of a high school subject which includes 26 weeks with four or five periods a week and 40 – 60 minutes per class period. Scholastic Aptitude Test/American College Test Every applicant for admission to Stillman College who has not previously attended college must take the American College Test (ACT) or the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) and have his/her scores sent to the college as part of the application for admission. Prospective students, still in high school, intending to apply to Stillman College, should consult their guidance counselors or principals for information concerning the procedures involved in qualifying to take these tests. Since application for admission to the college can not be considered without these test scores, applicants are urged to sit for these examinations on the earliest possible date during their senior year. How to Enter Stillman Making Formal Application 1. High school transcript of credits. 2. Two letters of recommendation from persons qualified to render judgments concerning applicant. 3. Scores from SAT or ACT. 4. Certificate of medical examination. It is the responsibility of each applicant to insure that his or her credentials are on file and in order, prior to his/her arrival for registration. The credentials of each applicant will be studied very carefully by the Admissions Staff. Doubtful cases will be referred to the Admissions Committee for further disposition. Upon approval, the applicant will receive a certificate of admission or letter of notification. International Students Stillman College is authorized under federal law to enroll non-immigrant alien students. International students are advised to inquire at least one year in advance of the anticipated date of admissions about the test requirements. To apply to Stillman College, international students must submit the following material by March 1 for the fall semester, August 1, for the spring semester, and February 1, for the summer semester: 1. The $25 application fee in U.S. dollars in the form of a money order or certified check, made payable to Stillman College; cash should not be sent. 2. Officials certificates and/or final secondary school records university transcripts, mark sheets, official translations, and syllabi. 3. Current Stillman policies require that any courses accepted for transfer must come from institutions affiliated with a regional accrediting agency located in United States. 4. Results from the tests required for regular degree students. 5. Scores from the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) for applicants who native language is not English. Once applications have been received, the Office of Admissions will inform students whether they must take this test. Holders of GCE A-Level or high school certificates are not required to take the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT). Applicants must be prepared to sponsor themselves, unless they are awarded a scholarship or grant.
The I-20 form (Certificate of Eligibility) is not issued until the applicant has (1) been admitted by the Office of Admissions, and (2) submitted a financial statement indicating how fees will be met while attending the college. Regulations on the U.S. Department of Justice’s Immigration and Naturalization Service governing nonimmigrant “F-1” foreign students require that all persons in this category pursue a full course of study. This means that undergraduates must register for a minimum of 12 credits. Any modifications of this requirement that results in a course load less than these minimums must be authorized by the Director of Admissions. Failure to observe these requirements will cause students to be ineligible to receive the I-20 form to support their nonimmigrant status. Re-Admission Statement Any Stillman student who has been out of school one semester or more (excluding summer school) for any reason and who desires to be readmitted should submit a readmissions application at least one month prior to the beginning of the term he/she plans to enter. The student should also request that official transcripts from any other institution attended since attending Stillman be sent to the Office of Admissions. The application for readmission is provided by the Office of Admissions and should be returned to that office when completed. A student returning after an interruption will be asked to adhere to the requirements of the catalog in effect on the date of re-entry. A student who has been suspended from the college for academic deficiencies may petition the Admission Committee for re-admission to the college. Admission by Examination Students unable to present a high school transcript may be permitted to enroll in the College provided they earn an acceptable score on the General Education Development Test of the American Council on Education. Transfer Admissions Eligibility 1. Official transcripts (only) from accredited institutions. Recognized by a required accrediting agency. 2. If the student has earned less than 62 semester hours he/she must submit an official high school transcript or GED scores as well as ACT or SAT scores. 3. The cumulative average at the institution student is leaving must be equal to or better than the average required at Stillman, as it relates to satisfactory academic progress standards. If not, NO credits will be accepted for transfer. 4. No transfer grade below “C” is acceptable. 5. Credentials must be on file at least one month prior to the beginning of the term. • Upon arrival at Stillman, all transfer students should have in their possession an official evaluation of their transcript by the Office of Admissions and or the department of intended major. Listing courses accepted for transfer. No transfer credit in the major over ten years old will be accepted unless validated by major department examination. Students must satisfy final 30 hours rule. Students must be in good standing, if transfer is to be allowed. Neither probation nor suspension can be in effect at the previous or current college attended. No courses with a pass or fail grade will be accepted for transfer. Credits from unaccredited institutions Transfer credits from unaccredited educational institutions will generally be unacceptable to Stillman. In exceptional cases, where a student demonstrates to the satisfaction of Stillman officials a mastery of subject matter equivalent that taught on the general education level at Stillman, acceptance of such transfer credit on an individual bases may be authorized, provided, however, that such courses are equivalent in terms of courses taught at Stillman. In all such cases, Stillman reserves the right to require the applicant to demonstrate the required proficiency by scoring at acceptable levels on departmental examinations in related such areas, by undergoing a probationary period of residence at Stillman or by fulfilling both of these requirements. Early Admission for Superior High School Students High school students with a 3.30 grade point average (4.00 scale), may be permitted to begin college work at Stillman before Graduation from High School. Students selected for early admissions will receive regular college credit for courses successfully completed. In addition to the grade point average, the prospective students must be recommended by his/her school Guidance Counselor or other High School officials who are qualified to attest to his/her eligibility. Admission as a Transient Student A student currently enrolled in another institution of higher education who desires to take courses to be transferred to that institution will be eligible to register upon presentation of an application for admission and a “letter of transiency” signed by the Dean and/or designated school official. Such students are not required to file transcripts of their previously earned credits at other postsecondary institutions. A student may not be classified as transient for more than one session or semester in succession, and must fulfill all requirements of the regular transfer student if he/she returns for the next consecutive semester. Auditor Applicants who wish to audit credit courses must follow standard admission procedures, register for the course(s), pay all required fees, are expected to attend all class meetings, and must conform to all requirements of the instructor of the course, but will not receive a grade. Academic Renewal Policy Any student who is readmitted to Stillman College after an absence of at least six consecutive semesters may apply for academic renewal. After readmission, the student must: 1. complete at least 12 credit hours (but not more than 24 credit hours) with no grade less than a “C”; 2. submit a petition for academic renewal to the Office of Academic Affairs. If petition for academic renewal is approved, academic renewal is effective as of the date of readmission and is not reversible. Subsequent calculations of the student’s grade point average are based solely on the courses taken after the date of readmission. All Stillman courses taken prior to readmission will remain unaltered on the academic record and, in the case of each non-remedial course where a grade of D or higher (except where a higher grade is required) was obtained, will count toward the total number of credits required for graduation. A minimum of 42 credit hours in residence must be earned to qualify for graduation after academic renewal is granted. Students granted academic renewal are ineligible for degrees with distinction. Credit from Non-Traditional Sources The College will consider non-traditional sources such as active federal military service and service school, the College Entrance Examination Board’s Advanced Placement Program, the College Level Examination Program (CLEP), and correspondence credits fro a fully accredited institution. Students may earn credit from the CLEP General Examination by scoring at eh 25 th Percentile, and at the national norms for a typical “C” student on the Subject Examination. Students in residence may earn no more than 45 semester hours of credit on the basis of non-traditional education experiences. College Level Examination Program (CLEP) The College-Level Examination Program (CLEP) is a program of credit by examination sponsored by the College Entrance Examination Board (CEEB). This program provides interested individuals an opportunity to obtain recognition for college level achievement on the basis of examination performance. Stillman College accepts both the CLEP General Examination and the CLEP subject-area examination. CLEP credits are treated as undergraduate transfer credits and are not considered in the calculation of the student’s cumulative average; however, the credits ay be used to fulfill degree requirements at Stillman College. A maximum of 30 semester hours may be earned through the CLEP General Examination. Stillman College will award six (6) semester hours of credit to each test in the battery for 90-minute General Examinations according to the following scale: English Composition (with essay given at SC) 530-610 The College will award credit for any of the CLEP subject-area examinations that parallel existing general education courses offered by the College, and the amount of credit awarded will be based on the equivalency of areas covered by the examination. Minimum scores for each test and the number of credit hours awarded will be based on the recommendations of the American Council on Education regarding CLEP. (The recommendations will be on file I the offices of the Registrar and Vice President for Academic Affairs). A student may not receive credit for both the Subject Examination and its equivalent, either in another examination or in a course taken for credit. Advanced Placement (AP) A minimum score of 3 is required to receive advance placemen and/or degree credit. The registrar, in consultation with the department concerned, determines how the credit is to be identified on the student’s permanent record. Credit for AP courses may be used to satisfy general education requirements and elective credit. Whether or not AP credit in a given discipline can be used to satisfy major or minor requirements in that discipline is to be determined by the academic department responsible for that major or minor. Stillman College may award credit for any of the subject-area examinations equivalent to the general courses listed below:
Credit for Prior Learning Experiences A student seeking credit for prior learning experiences must prepare a portfolio to be evaluated by members of the faculty through the department(s) appropriate for the credit being requested. Any student interested in prior learning assessment should discuss the possibility with the Vice President for Academic Affairs. This preliminary discussion helps determine whether the
student’s experience warrants a formal assessment by the faculty. If the preliminary contact is encouraging, the student must submit a petition to prepare the portfolio to the Vice President for Academic Affairs. An assessment fee of $50 per course credit sought will be payable upon submission of the petition. In compiling the portfolio, the student must identify the learning, express it in terms of college level curriculum or competencies, relate it to his or her overall educational and career objectives and compile the evidence to demonstrate the competence. Ideally, completing this process allows a student to avoid the duplication of learning, to build on the learning previously acquired, and shorten the time it takes to earn a degree. Guidelines for portfolio preparation may be obtained from the Vice President for Academic Affairs. A prior-learning evaluation may result in awarding of “no credit.” A clear explanation is provided in such cases where credit is denied. If credit is awarded for prior learning, the Registrar will record the credit and send notification to the student. Credit earned through an assessment of prior learning cannot be duplicated through any other mechanism for earning credit. Prior learning credit is not transferable. A maximum of 12 credit hours may be earned through the Credit for Prior Learning Experiences process. THE ACADEMIC PROGRAM Stillman College confers the Bachelor of Arts and the Bachelor of Science degrees. The regular academic program is arranged into two required components—the general education curriculum and the major field curriculum. A student spends roughly two years on each component while matriculating at the College for a bachelor’s degree. The courses of study are grouped into three divisions of instruction that include a total of nine departments. General Academic Information When a student finds it necessary to withdraw prior to completion of a semester’s work, the official withdrawal date is that on which the Vice President for Academic Affairs officially signs withdrawal documents. Merely leaving the institution without completing the proper procedure does not constitute withdrawal. When the College requires withdrawal, the Vice President for Academic Affairs will execute withdrawal procedures and set the date of official withdrawal as of the date of the required withdrawal. Emergency health conditions will be taken into consideration in determining the date of official withdrawal. A student finding it necessary to withdraw should contact the Office of the Vice President for Academic Affairs to initiate the withdrawal process. Majors and Minors Upon matriculation at Stillman, all students must declare an area of interest or a major. Students transferring from other colleges or universities must declare a major upon matriculation. All students must apply for a major in the desired department by the beginning of the second year of matriculation. A major consists of a minimum of 30 hours; a minor consists of 18 to 21 hours. The other hours may be devoted to courses in a related area, chosen under the guidance of the faculty advisor. Majors offered at Stillman are as follows: 1. Art 2. Biology 3. Business Administration 4. Computer Science 5. Elementary Education 6. English 7. Health and Physical Education 8. History 9. Mathematics 10. Music 11. Religion and Philosophy Minors are available in all areas noted above (with the exception of Elementary Education) and in the following: 1. Chemistry 2. French 3. Journalism 4. Mass Communication 5. Political Science 6. Psychology 7. Sociology 8. Spanish 9. Speech General Education Requirements As a liberal arts college, Stillman requires its students to pursue general education objectives to acquire the fundamental knowledge and skills that every college educated person ought to exhibit. Of the 124 semester hours required for graduation 53 credit hours are devoted to general education studies. A two-credit hour orientation course, STI 100, is required of all first semester freshmen. All students are required to complete a core of courses that are designed to provide intellectual and aesthetic experiences. The core of courses will have the fundamental qualities of critical, analytical, and integrative thinking which will enable the student to solve problems, to make both intellectual and value judgments, and to function effectively in a rapidly changing world environment.
System of Numbering Each course listed in this section bears a three-digit number. The first digit indicates the class-level of the course as follows:
The middle digit indicates the number of hours credit for the course. The third digit indicates the semester in which the course is taught. Odd numbers are fall semester courses; even numbers are spring semester courses. If the third digit is a “0”, the class may be taught either semester. The Semester System The academic year is divided into two semesters, and two summer sessions. The fall semester begins in late August and ends in December. The spring semester begins in January and ends in May. The summer sessions consist of two five-week terms that begin in June and end in July (see the “Academic Calendar”). Semesters for students enrolled in the Stillman Management Institute will differ from the above. A schedule for this program may be requested from the Stillman Management Institute Office. Credit for courses completed is awarded in semester hours. The number of semester credit hours awarded for a course generally represents the number of hours that course meets each week. For example, a 3-credit hour course meets for three hours each week for one semester. There are exceptions to the general rule, which may include military science, laboratories, and other courses. Course Hour Load in the Fall and Spring Semesters During the fall and spring semesters, the class hour load for a full-time student not on probation is 12-18 credit hours. The maximum load a student may enroll in during a semester is 21 hours; however, there is an additional charge for the hours beyond 18. Exceptions to the maximum load may be requested in writing to the Vice President for Academic Affairs. Course Hour Load in the Summer During each summer session, the full-time class load is 6 credit hours. Exceptions may be considered in writing to the Vice President for Academic Affairs. Classification of Students Class standing will be determined at the end of each academic year on the basis of course credits. Developmental courses are not included in the number of credits that determine a student’s classification. The classification scale is: Freshman ......................................... 0-31 semester credit hours earned Senior classification does not necessarily imply graduation the following spring. Grading System Grades are awarded at Stillman College for courses according to the following table of letter grades and point values:
In English composition courses only, the following grades may be reported: A, B, C, D, F and N (No Credit). The “N” grade is not included in the computation of the student’s grade point average. A grade of “C” or better is required in all freshman English courses and is a prerequisite for advancement to another English course. Grades of “I” (Incomplete) should be removed by the fourth week of classes in the following term in residence, unless the Vice President for Academic Affairs grants an extension. Students on academic probation must complete the grade before the last day for registration and schedule changes in the following semester. Students who do not return for the following semester after assignment of an “I” will have to repeat the course, unless the student arranges to remove the “I” prior to the beginning of the following semester. Students in the Stillman Management Institute must have the “I” removed by the end of the subsequent module in which the student is enrolled (see the SMI handbook for details). Satisfactory Academic Progress Standards The minimum cumulative GPA requirements for satisfactory academic progress are: 1. From 1 to 31 hours attempted, the student must have a cumulative grade-point average of at least 1.60. 2. From 32 to 64 hours attempted, the student must have a cumulative grade-point average of at least 1.80. 3. From 65 hours or more attempted, the student must have a cumulative grade-point average of at least 2.00. The minimum credit requirements for satisfactory academic progress are:
Upon the completion of the initial semester, transfer students must meet the same requirements as all other students based upon the cumulative grade-point average, the number of credits successfully completed and the academic years completed at all post-secondary institutions attended. A student whose average falls below the above specified cumulative average, or who fails to successfully complete the minimum required credits listed above will be placed on academic probation for the following semester. The probationary period will be extended to two semesters only if the student satisfies the following requirements during the first semester of probation:
The student on probation will be suspended from the College when at the end of the probationary period the level of performance has not been restored to the required overall average and/or the student does not successfully complete the minimum required credits. Students with less than a 2.00 cumulative grade-point average will be issued a warning and will not be allowed to take a class load of more than 13 hours per semester. Students who have been suspended for academic reasons may re-apply for enrollment after staying out one semester. However, mere application does not imply automatic re-admission. If allowed to reenter, a student must earn a grade-point average of at least 2.00 for that term or the average stipulated upon re-admission. Policy Governing Withdrawals Important Arrangement Prior to Withdrawal: A student who leaves the College without following college withdrawal procedures will be assigned the grade of “F” in each course in which he/she is registered. “W”, Withdrawal (No Credit). This grade will be assigned when a student withdraws from a course with the approval of the Vice President for Academic Affairs between the last day for change of schedule and one week after mid-semester grade reports have been delivered to students. “WD”, Administrative Withdrawal (No Credit). This grade will be assigned when a student is withdrawn from a course by the Vice President for Academic Affairs or the Vice President for Student Affairs. This grade is non-punitive and may be assigned by the appropriate official at any time during a semester or term. “WP”, Withdrawal Passing (No Credit). This grade will be assigned when a student withdraws from a course for good cause past the published date with the approval of the Vice President for Academic Affairs and the Vice President for Student Affairs. “WF”, Withdrawal Failing (Credit). This grade will be assigned when a student withdraws from a course without good cause past the published date. Policy Governing Withdrawal for Military Reason Stillman College has the authority to make reasonable and necessary policies governing the withdrawal of students who have been activated for Military duties. The policy, which follows, provides written guidelines, for students on deferred study time due to military call-up and for instructors and the Institution on their responsibilities in the withdrawal process. Students who are called to active military duty will be given a grade of “WD” for each course in which they are enrolled at the time they are activated. A “WD” will be assigned for the entire semester for military call-up only. If a student is activated at the end of the semester, the student and the instructor may decide that an early final examination can be given for the course taken and a grade determined. If a final examination is not given, the student must take an automatic “WD”. Because all students leaving for military call-up will be considered exceptions, all “WD’s” will be considered likewise. Instead of applicability of the Refund Policy listed in The College Catalog, students will receive a 100% refund for tuition. Room and board will be adjusted according to the time spent on campus. Once a student has expressed an interest in resuming his/her study at Stillman, he/she will be admitted under the same conditions in effect before leaving for military reason. Policy on Retaking Courses A student may repeat any course, up to a maximum of two times, until a grade of “C” or higher is obtained. “Credits attempted” and a corresponding letter grade will be recorded on the student’s record each time the course is attempted. Only the grade corresponding to the final time that the course was completed will count toward the student’s cumulative GPA. “Credits completed” for the course will be placed on the student’s record as appropriate to the course credits and the grade obtained the final time that the student completes the course. Bankruptcy Policy A student may use the Academic Petition Form to request a retroactive withdrawal from an entire semester. The Vice President for Academic Affairs must receive the petition no later than one year after the end of the applicable semester. In the petition, the student must demonstrate unusual circumstances beyond the control of the student during the semester in question. A student may receive a bankruptcy withdrawal only once during matriculation at Stillman College. Class Attendance Principle - Except when officially exempted, students and faculty are expected to attend all classes for which they are registered and assigned. Similarly, faculty and students are expected to meet classes at the scheduled time and to participate for the full period. Frequent tardies (3 or more) by students and early departures may lead to the assignment of an unexcused absence. Student may be allowed as many unexcused absences as a course bears credit. Instructors should report excess absences to the Vice President for Student Affairs. Absences from class for any cause is a loss to students and maybe harmful tot he grades earned for the semester. Unexcused Absences - Unexcused absences exceeding the number of credit hours for a course can automatically suspend a student from a course. Where courses meet in 80-90 minute blocks, two unexcused absences are allowed for a 3-credit course. Double absences may be charged for unexcused absences that occur on the day before or following a holiday. When a student is suspended from a class for excessive absences, the Vice President for Student Affairs may reinstate him/her after a conference or counseling session with designated college staff. Excused Absences - Students may obtain an official excuse by presenting the appropriate documentation to the Vice President for Student Affairs. The Vice President for Academic Affairs must endorse the excuse before it becomes official. Officially excused absences are permissible so long as such absences do not destroy the ability of a student to master course requirements. Presenting Excuses - Official excuses must be presented by the student to the concerned instructor within seven (7) days of the student’s return to class. The presentation of a timely excuse shall entitle the student to an opportunity to perform all class assignments missed. Seven additional days, following the return to class, shall be allowed for student (and the instructor) to execute make-up work. Exceptions – Upperclassmen (65 hours towards the degree) with earned GPA’s of 3.00 or higher, and in good standing are exempted from the regulations. Standards Governing Excused Absences 1. Grounds for Issuing Excuses a. Illness of student. b. Serious illness or death of a family member of a student. c. Authorized representation of college. d. Legally required court appearance. 2. Documentation Required: a. Excuses based upon illness require a statement by a physician or the college nurse, which spells out the exact times for which an excused absence is recommended b. Excuses based upon the death of a family member will require a verification a news account, funeral program, or statement from the funeral director involved. A written statement from a parent, mailed to the Vice President for Student Affairs, may be used as proof of a family illness. c. Excuses based upon authorized representation of the College should be verified by a published schedule or written statement from the President, Vice President for Student Affairs, or Vice President for Academic Affairs, depending upon the source of authorization. d. Excuses based upon a legally required court appearance should be verified by a copy of the document requiring such appearance.
