Introduction Welcome Grizzlies! Founded in 1834, Franklin College is a liberal arts and sciences institution 20 miles south of downtown Indianapolis. Our campus spans approximately 170 acres, including athletic fields, a 31-acre biology woodland and a 29-acre biological field station. Franklin was the first college in Indiana to become coeducational with the admission of women in 1842. We cherish our heritage as enthusiastically as our continual progress. Our commitment to excellence and success in mission are exemplified through student and alumni achievements. Our legacy and spirit of tradition are matched only by our pursuit of innovation. Today, we offer a wide array of undergraduate majors as well as master’s degree programs in Physician Assistant Studies and Athletic Training. The unique curriculum merges classroom instruction with immersive experiences, research opportunities, study-away programs and a focus on digital fluency. Our goal is to prepare career-ready graduates for today’s global professions and those of the future. Our small classes allow professors to work closely with students, enabling them to thrive through mentorship and a balance of academic challenge and support. Professors inspire students to think critically and perform confidently. U.S. News and World Report has recognized Franklin College as the highest ranked institution in Indiana for enabling social mobility, literally changing the trajectory of students’ lives. Franklin students participate in a vibrant co-curriculum that includes 21 NCAA Division III men’s and women’s intercollegiate sports, Greek life, esports, intramural sports, cheerleading, musical and theatre productions and more than 40 student organizations.

NON-DISCRIMINATION It is the policy of Franklin College that all opportunities are to be made available on the basis of merit and without discrimination against any employee, applicant for employment, student, or applicant for admission because of race, color, religion, gender, disability, age, national origin, or sexual orientation. Grievances should be submitted to the equal opportunity officer. Founded in 1834, Franklin College is the 102nd oldest institution of higher education in the U.S. and the first in Indiana to admit women. Generations of graduates have made positive contributions to their families, their communities, and their careers, as well as to the nation and the world. Purpose of the Catalog The material contained in the Course Catalog is for information only and does not constitute a contract between the student and the college. The catalog provides an overview of course offerings and content. It is not the official list of offerings for any given term (fall semester, immersive term, spring semester, or summer terms). Students should consult the online schedule of classes for specific term(s) for which they wish to register. The college and its various units reserve the right to revise, amend, alter, and change from time to time its policies, rules, regulations, and financial charges including those related to admission, instruction, registration, and graduation. The college reserves the right to withdraw curricula and specific courses, alter course content, change the calendar, and withdraw or change programs and majors offered by the college.

Admission Policies Franklin College seeks students who demonstrate intellectual ability and seriousness of purpose. To this end, the admissions office and the admissions committee evaluate each applicant’s academic record, standardized test scores (if submitted), recommendations, essay, school and community activities and personal information supplied by the student. In keeping with our mission statement, applicants for admission to the college are individually and holistically considered. All students, regardless of residency or prior academic record, may submit their application with or without test scores. Applying under the test-optional policy will not affect admissions consideration or the merit aid awarded. While the college does not require a prescribed set of high school subjects, a typical student will have completed a college preparatory program with good quality of achievement. A typical college preparatory program would ordinarily include four years of English, three to four years of mathematics, two or more years of lab science courses, three years of social sciences and electives to meet graduation requirements. Foreign language is strongly recommended. Students entering Franklin College are required to take two semesters of foreign language unless they test out on Franklin College placement examinations. Traditional incoming first-year students - The following documents are required in order to be considered for admission to Franklin College: 1. The completed application for admission submitted in either online via the Franklin College Application or the Common Application. 2. An official secondary school transcript The following documents are recommended for admission (both available online as part of the Franklin College Application for Admission and as part of the Common Application): 1. SAT or ACT scores 2. Guidance Counselor Recommendation Form 3. Personal Statement or Written Essay 4. Resume 5. Letter(s) of Recommendation General Education Diploma (GED) or High School Equivalency Diploma- If an applicant has not earned a diploma from a secondary program, an HSE or GED is required. The academic areas of the examination are reviewed in light of the general requirements for admission. Admitted first-year students must submit a $200 enrollment deposit to secure their position in the incoming class. The enrollment deposit is refundable prior to May 1st. Immersive Term enrollment – Franklin College’s preference is for students to start in the Fall or Spring semester. However, students may begin in Immersive Term if necessary. The deadline for receipt of all statements and applications for admission during Immersive Term will be no later than December 15th. Spring Semester enrollment – All previously enrolled students who are interested in reapplying for admission and all new students who are interested in applying for admission to Franklin College during the Spring semester must submit their applications to the Franklin College Office of Admissions. The deadline for receipt of all applications for readmission and admission will be no later than January 22th. Transfer students – The transfer student application for admission must be submitted online via the Franklin College Application. Admission decisions regarding transferring students are based upon the academic record at the postsecondary institution(s) and the secondary school. In some cases, a transfer student may not be required to submit a transcript for his/her secondary school if the student’s college GPA meets the admissions committee standard.

6 Students transferring to Franklin College must be in good standing both academically, socially and financially with their previous institution. Full-time transfer admission is generally reserved for students: • who have attended another institution after high school graduation • who have earned 12 or more transferable hours of 100-level courses or higher from another accredited institution (where the accrediting body is recognized by the Council for Higher Education and the US Department of Education) after high school graduation, with an overall grade average of C or higher. Transfer students who intend to enroll at the college must submit a $200 enrollment deposit to the Office of Admissions, which is refundable prior to May 1st. Franklin College Transfer Credit Evaluation Policy Franklin College will accept undergraduate transfer course work, credits by examination, and other nontraditional credits presuming the following: • Transfer courses were completed at an accredited institution (where the accrediting body is recognized by the Council for Higher Education and the US Department of Education) • The coursework is substantively equivalent to Franklin College coursework • Proper, timely documentation is provided in the form of official transcripts, test scores, or the equivalent • The grade awarded is equivalent to C- (1.67 on 4.00 scale) or above, or test score is equivalent to the requirement as outlined in the Academic Course Catalog • Students must complete at least 48 credit hours at Franklin College to be awarded a degree • Franklin College may award a maximum of 16 credit hours for documented armed forces credit • Franklin College may award a maximum of 16 credit hours for documented nontraditional training or courses Those students participating in an articulation agreement with Franklin College should refer to the guidelines of the specific agreement regarding transferability of credit hours and course equivalencies. Agreements are located in the Academic Records Office. For complete guidelines regarding transfer work, please consult the Academic Records Office. International students – International students typically should meet the same requirements for admission as other students; however, flexibility is incorporated purposely to allow for cultural and educational differences among the many countries represented by international applicants. As is the case for all students, strong emphasis is placed on strength of the academic record of secondary and, if applicable, previous college or university academic achievement. All international students are required to complete an admissions interview with the Office of Admissions prior to reviewing the applicant for an admission decision. In addition, international students are required to submit proof of English proficiency. Students may demonstrate English proficiency by passing the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), the International English Language Testing System (IELTS), or another approved examination. A TOEFL score of 79 iBT or higher or an IELTS score of 6.5 or above or Duolingo score of 105 or above is a minimal guideline for English proficiency. This examination requirement may be waived for students who have successfully completed substantial coursework in Englishmedium high schools or universities or for students who have satisfactorily completed approved English language programs such as Interglobal or ELS centers. For more information regarding English proficiency requirements at Franklin College, please contact the Office of Admissions.

7 Finally, financial documentation must be submitted by the applicant and/or sponsor in order for an I-20 to be issued by Franklin College.

The student must inform the Office of Admissions of his or her intent to re-enroll. 3. Prior to official readmission by the Office of Admissions, the Office of Student Development, Academic Records Office, and Business Office must agree to the re-admittance. 4.

Complete appropriate withdrawal process through the Center for Student Success. 2. Receive confirmation of withdrawal from the Vice President of Student Development & Dean of Students. 3. Clear all financial accounts through the Business Office. 4. Report to the Office of Financial Aid if the student received any financial aid (scholarships, grant, work, or loan).

Calculation of Fee Reductions Fall and Spring Semesters When a student has withdrawn from the college and is eligible for a fee reduction for fall or spring semesters, the tuition charges will be adjusted according to following table: Prior to or on the first day of classes, 100% After the first day, during the first week of classes, 90% During the second week of classes, 75% During the third week of classes, 60% During the fourth week of classes, 45% During the fifth week of classes, 30% No refund is given after the fifth week of classes

13 5 Week or More Courses (up to, but not including, semester-long courses) When a student has withdrawn from the college and is eligible for a fee reduction for courses that are 5 weeks or more, up to, but not including, semester-long courses), the tuition charges will be adjusted according to following table: Prior to or on the first day of classes, 100% After the first day, during the first week of classes, 80% During the second week of classes, 60% During the third week of classes, 40% No refund is given after the third week of classes Students who reduce their enrollment from full-time to part-time (less than 12 hours per semester) through the last day to drop a course may be eligible for a fee reduction based on the difference between full-time and parttime tuition charges. Students must be aware that a change to part-time status may put their athletic, housing, and financial aid eligibility in jeopardy. Immersive Term Board reductions will be calculated on a pro-rata basis of Immersive Term charges. As there is no additional charge for immersive term room for those students enrolled full time in the fall semester, no fee reduction applies. No reduction of tuition or room is made for those students not enrolled in immersive term or who reside off campus during immersive term. Summer School When a student is eligible for a fee reduction for summer school, the tuition and room charges will be adjusted according to following table: Prior to or on the second day of classes, 100.0% After the second day, during the first week of classes, 50.0% No fee reductions will be given after the first week of classes. Refunds and Returns When a student has withdrawn from the college, a recalculation of any Federal, State and Institutional aid must be conducted to determine the amount of aid a student is eligible to retain. Return of funds will be issued to Federal and State financial aid sources first and then to Institutional sources. If a credit of aid retained remains only then will a refund be issued to the student. Refund calculations will be completed within 30 days of recognized withdrawal date. Housing contracts may be terminated without penalty by the student if written notification is received by the Department of Residence Life on or before June 1st. Termination of the contract for any reason after June 1st but prior to occupancy will result in a $500 cancellation fee*. Cancellation of the housing contract after a student has occupied the room may receive a fee reduction for their room costs in accordance with the fee reduction schedule.

Financial Aid Policies Financial aid is defined as any financial resource used to pay for college expenses; this may include but is not limited to grants, scholarships, student loans and federal workstudy funding. It is not always possible to assist all eligible applicants to the full amount of financial need. Financial aid can be received from several sources (Franklin College, federal, state, and/or external awards) and must be coordinated by the Office of Financial Aid to ensure that total aid received does not exceed regulatory limits. Students and parents should contact the Office of Financial Aid with any questions regarding the aid application or awarding process.

General Financial Aid Information Institutional Scholarship and Grant Assistance for Undergraduate Students Franklin College offers a wide variety of scholarships and grants to qualified students. Most scholarships are based on academic achievement while most grants are based on financial need. Most undergraduate students are considered for scholarships upon admission to the college. Enrollment–Students must be enrolled full-time (12 hours or more each semester) to be considered for Franklin College grants and scholarships, maximum State of Indiana grants, and maximum Federal Pell Grants. Part-time students (six to 11 hours) may only qualify for Federal grants and student loans. Students applying for financial aid by April 15 of each year will receive full consideration for all forms of financial assistance. Some scholarships, as noted, may require a separate application with an earlier deadline. Application–The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is required for all aid beyond a merit scholarship or tuition remission. The FAFSA can be filed at www.studentaid.gov and should be submitted by April 15 for each year that financial assistance is requested. Students filing the FAFSA after April 15 will not be considered for State of Indiana grant assistance, but will be considered for federal and institutional funding. Adjustment to Financial Assistance–A financial aid award may be reviewed and adjusted at any time during the academic year contingent upon federal and state regulations. Students should promptly report family financial changes to the Office of Financial Aid. Students are required to report all financial aid received from external funding sources. Financial Aid for Study Abroad–Students are invited to apply for study abroad assistance through the Office of Global Education. With the assistance of generous donors, Franklin College has established scholarships specifically for international travel. Additional information regarding specific scholarships available for international travel follows. Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP)–Students must make satisfactory progress toward graduation each academic year to be eligible to receive additional financial assistance for the following academic year. Detailed SAP policies for the Bachelor of Arts, Master of Science in Athletic Training, and Master of Science in Physician Assistant Studies can be found at the end of this section of the catalog.

Undergraduate Bachelor of Arts Degree – Satisfactory Academic Progress Standards and Procedures To be eligible for Federal and/or Indiana State financial aid at Franklin College, a student must meet the Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) standards listed below. Federal regulations require that your entire Franklin College academic record be reviewed for SAP, including semesters in which you did not apply for or receive financial aid. Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) Standards A student’s Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) status is assessed at the end of each academic year. For the purposes of SAP, the academic year begins with the Summer term (if applicable) and ends with the Spring term. •

The total credit hours earned divided by the total credit hours attempted. A student may not fall below a 67% completion rate. ▪ Courses completed with grades of A, B, C, and D count toward earned credit hours. ▪ Courses completed with grades of F, W, I or any other grade that does not result in credit hours completed will not count in earned hours. Maximum Degree Completion (i.e. Duration) o A student must complete their degree program without having attempted more than 150% of the number of credits required for the degree. ▪ Example: If a degree program requires 120 credit hours to complete, the student must complete the degree program without having attempted more than 180 credits (120 x 1.5 = 180).

Appeal for SAP Probationary Semester Students who fail to meet the satisfactory academic progress standards at the end of the academic year are placed on suspension status under which Federal and Indiana State student aid eligibility is lost. A student may submit a SAP Appeal to the Director of Financial Aid for potential aid reinstatement. The appeal must include the SAP Appeal Form and a signed personal statement. Supporting documentation may be requested by the Director of Financial Aid. Reasons that may be acceptable for an appeal may include but are not limited to: (1) serious illness or accident on the part of the student; (2) death, accident or serious illness in the immediate family; (3) change in academic program; and, (4) other extenuating circumstances. The signed personal statement must include the following: (1.) the student’s clear understanding of what SAP standard(s) they failed to meet, (2.) what circumstances led to them not meeting the standard(s), and (3) what has changed that will allow the student to restore their satisfactory academic progress standing after the SAP Probationary semester. Please note that merely filing a SAP appeal does NOT guarantee continued eligibility for Federal and/or Indiana State aid, as an appeal may be denied. Notification of the appeal results will take place within ten business days from the receipt of the appeal. If an appeal is approved, the student will be placed on SAP Probation for one semester and an Academic Plan will be implemented to measure the student’s progress during the probationary semester. For the probationary semester, the student will be considered eligible for Federal and/or Indiana State aid for which the student has applied. If an appeal is denied, the suspension decision is final for that semester. The student may re-establish eligibility for a subsequent semester by taking action that brings him or her into compliance with the SAP standards. Suspension from financial aid does not prevent students from enrolling without financial aid if they are otherwise eligible to continue their enrollment. The Office of Financial Aid will assess the student’s academic progress at the conclusion of the SAP Probationary semester to determine if the student either meets the SAP standards OR has adhered to the terms and conditions of their academic plan. If the student meets all three of the SAP standards at the conclusion of the probationary semester, they meet SAP and are otherwise eligible for financial aid. If the student fails to meet all three of the SAP standards but has adhered to the terms and conditions of their academic plan, their SAP Probation status will be extended into the next term of enrollment and the student will maintain financial aid eligibility. The Office of Financial Aid will assess the student’s academic progress at the conclusion of the following SAP Probationary semester to determine if the student either met the SAP standards OR has continued to adhere to the terms and conditions of their academic plan, etc. If the student fails to meet all three of the SAP standards at the conclusion of the probationary semester and has failed to adhere to the terms and conditions of their academic plan, the student’s financial aid will be immediately terminated. The student may be given the chance to appeal, at the discretion of the Director of Financial Aid, but only if the student experienced new unusual circumstances not expressed in their initial appeal.

21 Regaining Eligibility Students who failed to meet these Satisfactory Academic Progress standards and who choose to enroll without benefit of student financial aid may request a review of their academic record after any term in which they are enrolled without the receipt of financial aid. If the standards are met at the time of review, eligibility may be regained for subsequent terms of enrollment in the academic year.

Grading Reference I (incomplete): Indicates there is still a possibility for credit after further work. It is used by the classroom instructor when a definite grade cannot be given because of a student’s illness or because of some justifiable delay in the completion of the work. The student initiates the process by filling out a petition to be granted an incomplete grade; these forms are available in the Academic Records Office. The course instructor then approves the written appeal after having reviewed the circumstances, and indicates in writing how the incomplete may be resolved, and establishes, in consultation with the student, a definite but reasonable completion date for all course work, usually as early as possible. The Academic Rules Committee must then approve all requests and may modify the due date after discussing the matter with the appropriate faculty member. When an incomplete grade is granted, it is the student’s responsibility to consult with the instructor involved and to determine exactly the instructor’s expectations regarding the fulfillment of the course work. The grade of “I” is not calculated into the grade point average. The “I” changes to an “F” if the work is not satisfactorily completed by the specified time, or no later than six weeks after the beginning of the next semester.

22 NG (no grade): Used for reporting mid-semester grades for practica, seminars, and individual studies, or may be used administratively by the Academic Records Office. The NG may also be assigned to labs with no separate credit awarded. AU (audit): Given only for informational instruction obtained by attending the course. The student must elect to audit a course within the first week of classes and cannot take the course for credit thereafter. Students will not be awarded course credit for those courses they choose to audit. Should the student not attend the course, the instructor may administratively withdraw the student from the audited course. Students may only audit two courses during a given semester. S or U (pass or fail): Neither the S nor U contributes to or detracts from the grade point average; however, credit hours are counted in the quantitative standard. W (withdrawal): A grade of “W” is not calculated into the grade point average; however, credit hours are counted in the quantitative standard. WP (withdrawal passing): Not calculated into the grade point average; however, credit hours are counted in the quantitative standard. WF (withdrawal failing): Is calculated into the grade point average as an “F” and credit hours are counted in the quantitative standard. CR (advanced placement & departmental credit): Used to denote credit awarded to a student according to performance upon certain nationally standardized examinations or departmental examinations. Credit hours are awarded and course equivalences determined. The placement does not affect the grade point average; however, credit hours are counted in the quantitative standard. [ ] (repeated course): Retaking courses in which the student either received a passing or failing grade, adversely affects the student's ability to meet the progress requirements. All attempted credit hours are counted in the quantitative standard. [ ] (repeated course) – continued: Students are allowed only one time to repeat a course in which they achieved a passing grade. After one allowable time, the student will not earn federal financial assistance for future repeats. For example: a student earns a "D" in a course and wants to repeat the class (the student has already repeated a passing grade course one other time). If the repeat course makes the enrollment full-time (9 credits + 3 credit hour repeat) then the federal aid will be adjusted to ¾ time enrollment for 9 credit hours. If the course is added to full-time enrollment of 12 or more credit hours, the student can receive federal aid based on full-time status. Transfer Credits: Only transfer credit hours officially accepted will be counted in the maximum number of attempted (and completed) credit hours for financial aid eligibility. If the student is required to take additional hours that would exceed the maximum cumulative allowable hours, the student must submit a written appeal to the Office of Financial Aid. If the appeal is approved, the student may continue to receive financial aid. Second Degree Students: Students who are enrolled in a degree program, which is equal to or lower than a degree already earned, will have the previous degree's accepted credit hours applied toward the student's current certificate or degree program. The accepted credit hours will be counted in the maximum number of allowable credit hours for financial aid eligibility. Per Electronic Announcement (2020-03-05): Circumstances related to an outbreak of COVID-19, including, but not limited to, the illness of a student or family member, compliance with a quarantine period, or the general

23 disruption resulting from such an outbreak may form the basis of a student’s SAP appeal even if not specifically articulated in the institution’s SAP policy.

Master of Science in Athletic Training – Satisfactory Academic Progress Standards and Procedures The Office of Financial Aid has developed the following standards and procedures regarding Satisfactory Academic Performance (SAP) as it pertains to the Master of Science in Athletic Training students’ financial aid eligibility. Federal regulations require a student’s entire Franklin College academic program record be reviewed for SAP, including semesters in which they did not apply for or receive financial aid. A student’s Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) status is assessed at the end of each academic year. For the purposes of SAP, the academic year begins with the Summer term (if applicable) and ends with the Spring term. The following standards will measure the student’s qualitative and quantitative progress towards degree completion. Furthermore, a student’s maximum timeframe will also be measured. Qualitative: Cumulative Grade Point Average (GPA) To successfully maintain the qualitative standard of SAP, the student must maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale. Quantitative: Completion Rate To successfully maintain the quantitative standard of SAP, the student must maintain a cumulative completion rate of 2/3 or 67% (the total credit hours earned divided by the total credit hours attempted). • Courses completed with grades of A, B, C, and D count toward earned credit hours. • Courses completed with grades of F, W, I or any other grade that does not result in credit hours completed will not count in earned hours. Maximum Timeframe: Duration To successfully maintain the duration standard of SAP, the student must be able to complete their degree program without having attempted more than 150% of the number of credits required for the degree. • Example: If a degree program requires 60 credit hours to complete, the student must complete the degree program without having attempted more than 90 credits (60 x 1.5 = 90). Grades and GPA Equivalencies The MSAT program requires a minimum 3.00 cumulative grade point average (GPA). The grading system for the MSAT program is defined below: Grade Range

SAP Suspension A student for whom financial aid eligibility has been suspended may appeal this determination to the Director of Financial Aid. The appeal must include the SAP Appeal Form and a signed personal statement. Supporting documentation may be requested by the Director of Financial Aid. Reasons that may be acceptable for an appeal may include but are not limited to: (1) serious illness or accident on the part of the student; (2) death, accident or serious illness in the immediate family; and (3) other extenuating circumstances. The signed personal statement must include the following: (1.) the student’s clear understanding of what SAP standard(s) they failed to meet, (2.) what circumstances led to them not meeting the standard(s), and (3) what has changed that will allow the student to restore their satisfactory academic progress standing after a SAP Probationary semester. Merely filing an appeal does NOT guarantee continued eligibility for Federal aid, as an appeal may be denied. Notification of the appeal results will take place within ten business days from the receipt of the appeal. SAP Probationary Semester If an appeal is approved, the student will be placed on SAP Probation for one semester. An Academic Plan will be implemented to measure the student’s progress during the SAP Probationary semester and the student will be considered eligible for Federal aid for which the student has applied. Denied Appeals If an appeal is denied, the suspension decision is final. The student may re-establish eligibility for a subsequent semester by taking action that brings him or her into compliance with the SAP standards. Suspension from receiving financial aid does not prevent students from enrolling if they are otherwise eligible to continue their enrollment. Regaining Eligibility Students who failed to meet the SAP standards and who choose to enroll without benefit of student financial aid may request a review of their academic record after any term in which they are enrolled without the receipt of financial aid. If the standards are met at the time of review, eligibility may be regained for subsequent term of enrollment.

SAP Terminology Withdrawals (W): Courses that are recorded on the student's permanent academic transcript will be included as credit hours attempted. These will have an adverse effect on the student's ability to meet the requirements of the credit hour progression schedule for financial aid. Incomplete grades (I): Courses that are assigned an incomplete grade are included in the cumulative credit hours attempted. These cannot be used as credit hours earned in the progress standard until a successful grade is assigned. Repeated Courses: Retaking courses in which the student either received a passing or failing grade, adversely affects the student's ability to meet the progress requirements. All attempted credit hours are counted in the quantitative standard. Students are allowed only one time to repeat a course in which they achieved a passing grade. After one allowable time, the student will not earn federal financial assistance for future repeats. Transfer Credits: Only transfer credit hours officially accepted will be counted in the maximum number of attempted (and completed) credit hours for financial aid eligibility. If the student is required to take additional hours that would exceed the maximum cumulative allowable hours, the student must submit a written appeal to the Office of Financial Aid. If the appeal is approved, the student may continue to receive financial aid.

Master of Science in Physician Assistant Studies – Satisfactory Academic Progress Standards and Procedures The Office of Financial Aid has developed the following standards and procedures regarding Satisfactory Academic Performance (SAP) as it pertains to the Master of Science in Physician Assistant Studies students’ financial aid eligibility. Federal regulations require a student’s entire Franklin College academic program record be reviewed for SAP, including semesters in which they did not apply for or receive financial aid. A student’s Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) status is assessed at the end of each academic year. For the purposes of SAP, the academic year is formatted accordingly: • Academic Year 1: Spring (January - May) – Summer (June - August) • Academic Year 2: Fall (September - December) – Spring (January - May) • Academic Year 3: Summer (June - August) – Fall (September - January) The following standards will measure the student’s qualitative and quantitative progress towards degree completion. Furthermore, a student’s maximum timeframe will also be measured. Qualitative: Cumulative Grade Point Average (GPA) To successfully maintain the qualitative standard of SAP, the student must maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale. Quantitative: Completion Rate To successfully maintain the quantitative standard of SAP, the student must maintain a cumulative completion rate of 2/3 or 67% (the total credit hours earned divided by the total credit hours attempted). • Courses completed with grades of A, B, C, and D count toward earned credit hours. • Courses completed with grades of F, W, I or any other grade that does not result in credit hours completed will not count in earned hours.

26 Maximum Timeframe: Duration To successfully maintain the duration standard of SAP, the student must complete their degree program without having attempted more than 150% of the number of credits required for the degree. • Example: If a degree program requires 111 credit hours to complete, the student must be able to complete the degree program without having attempted more than 166.5 credits (111 x 1.5 = 166.5). Grades and GPA Equivalencies The MSPAS program requires a minimum 3.00 cumulative grade point average (GPA). The grading system for the MSPAS program is defined below:

Grade Range

27 SAP Probationary Semester If an appeal is approved, the student will be placed on SAP Probation for one semester. An Academic Plan will be implemented to measure the student’s progress during the SAP Probationary semester and the student will be considered eligible for Federal aid for which the student has applied. Denied Appeals If an appeal is denied, the suspension decision is final. The student may re-establish eligibility for a subsequent semester by taking action that brings him or her into compliance with the SAP standards. Suspension from receiving financial aid does not prevent students from enrolling if they are otherwise eligible to continue their enrollment. Regaining Eligibility Students who failed to meet the SAP standards and who choose to enroll without benefit of student financial aid may request a review of their academic record after any term in which they are enrolled without the receipt of financial aid. If the standards are met at the time of review, eligibility may be regained for subsequent terms of enrollment. SAP Terminology Withdrawals (W): Courses that are recorded on the student's permanent academic transcript will be included as credit hours attempted. These will have an adverse effect on the student's ability to meet the requirements of the credit hour progression schedule for financial aid. Incomplete grades (I): Courses that are assigned an incomplete grade are included in the cumulative credit hours attempted. These cannot be used as credit hours earned in the progress standard until a successful grade is assigned. Repeated Courses: Retaking courses in which the student either received a passing or failing grade, adversely affects the student's ability to meet the progress requirements. All attempted credit hours are counted in the quantitative standard. Students are allowed only one time to repeat a course in which they achieved a passing grade. After one allowable time, the student will not earn federal financial assistance for future repeats. Transfer Credits: Only transfer credit hours officially accepted will be counted in the maximum number of attempted (and completed) credit hours for financial aid eligibility. If the student is required to take additional hours that would exceed the maximum cumulative allowable hours, the student must submit a written appeal to the Office of Financial Aid. If the appeal is approved, the student may continue to receive financial aid.

As members of a community of learners, the college expects conduct that not only meets the expectations of laws and college regulations, but more importantly is consistent with the college’s values. Each member of the Franklin College community will develop a personal sense of responsibility as well as a concerned understanding for the rights and well-being of others. All students are expected to know and observe the local, state, and federal laws as well as the college regulations as published in this catalog and in The Student Handbook: A Guide to Campus Life. The student handbook is published annually on the College’s website at http://franklincollege.edu/campus-life/#section4 . Academic Resource Center The Academic Resource Center, located on the first floor of Hamilton Library, provides students with opportunities to expand upon their knowledge and understanding in a collaborative and supportive environment. Popular ARC programs and services include the Write Place, Math Study Center, Supplemental Instruction, and Spanish tutoring. The ARC also coordinates accommodations for students with disabilities. B.F. Hamilton Library The library’s primary goal is to support your academic success. Whether you need print books, electronic resources, or on-on-one research, the library connects you with the tools and guidance you need to thrive in your coursework. Open until midnight five nights a week, Hamilton Library houses three floors of resources with 90,000 books and 4,500 videos. Additionally, the library’s website provides access to more than 400,000 ebooks, 50,000 full-text journals and newspapers and over 30,000 streaming videos. The library offers several seating options for 300 students, including study carrels, four group study rooms, casual study areas, and two computer labs. One of those labs, HAM 309, is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. HamiltonONE, the library’s first floor, provides a wide range of academic support to students through the Happe Family Academic Resource Center, the Center for Student Success, and Library Services. The Archives and Special Collections reside on the library’s third floor. The Franklin College Archives contain material related to Franklin College, while the Indiana Baptist Archives contain information pertaining to the American Baptist Churches of Indiana-Kentucky. The third collection is the Honorable Roger Douglas Branigin Archives, a Franklin College alumnus and governor of Indiana (1965-1969). Materials in this collection include administrative papers, correspondence, journals, legislation, and other associated materials; these are the only Indiana state governor’s papers to be housed outside the state archives. The library’s online repository contains access to more than 200 primary sources in addition to past issues of The Franklin and yearbooks. Visits to the archives are by appointment only. Career Development Selecting a career is an important decision requiring knowledge about career opportunities and about one’s own interests, abilities and personal values. In a mobile society, a person is likely to make from three to five major career changes. Thus, though an initial career choice may be made while in college, it is important that one learns about

29 the many career options available and how to go about selecting a career. For this reason, Franklin College offers career planning services for all students through their undergraduate and graduate student years and for alumni. The career development office provides services to complement the undergraduate and graduate student education. Individual and group advising are the core of the comprehensive program that also includes career fairs, speakers on different career areas, and workshops on practical job search skills. A career resources library is available, and the office maintains an online job-listing service. Part-time, summer employment and internship listings are also available online. These services are provided at no cost to students and alumni. The career development office also coordinates the immersive term, semester-long, and summer internship programs, except for education major internships which are coordinated through the director of teacher education, and exercise science internships which are coordinated through the exercise science department. Internships are excellent opportunities for students to gain direct knowledge of a career, develop a professional network, and to gain valuable, practical work experience in that field. Specific questions concerning these activities and services may be answered by contacting the career development office, located in the Dietz Center for Professional Development (phone 317-738-8803). Counseling Center The Counseling Center, located on the second floor of the Student Center, provides free and confidential counseling to students. Our goal is to help each student deal with life challenges so that they can be successful in their school career and beyond. Students may seek counseling for a variety of psychological and emotional challenges. The center also offers social events, as well as workshops and educational trainings to the campus community on mental health-related issues. Disability Services Franklin College is committed to providing equal access to students with disabilities. Reasonable and appropriate accommodations will be provided to students with disabilities to ensure equal access to academic programs and other college-sponsored activities. It is the responsibility of the student to identify themselves and formally request accommodations. The Academic Resource Center invites any student wishing to request reasonable accommodations to meet with an ARC staff member to discuss past use of accommodations and disability related barriers they anticipate or are experiencing at the college. The process for determining accommodations is a collaborative one and may or may not require documentation. Medical records, psychoeducational testing and school records (such as IEP or 504 plan) may help guide the conversation and support specific requests. If this type of information is available, please submit it or bring it to your first meeting with the ARC staff member. Please do not delay meeting with the Academic Resource Center out of concern for not having appropriate paperwork. Disability documentation submitted by a student is confidential. Franklin College will not release any part of the documentation without the student's informed consent. Students who do not demonstrate foreign language proficiency at the 200-level or higher on the Franklin College placement exam or similar exam must successfully complete a Franklin College course in a foreign language numbered 111 or higher or the equivalent at another institution. Students with a disability that impairs the ability to acquire a foreign language may apply for a substitution for the language requirement. While substitutions may be considered, waivers are never granted. If the foreign language substitution is granted, the student must take two alternate courses from the approved substitution list. Please note that an exemption from meeting foreign language requirements in high school or at another college or university does not guarantee a substitution at Franklin College. Franklin College mathematics courses are designed to provide students with fundamental knowledge of and facility with concepts and processes in mathematics. In cases where a student has a disability that profoundly

30 impairs academic performance in the quantitative area and precludes them from completing the mathematics requirement, the student may petition for a course substitution. Mathematics and the concepts learned in mathematics are considered essential components of many programs of study and substitutions may not be considered for all programs. Except in extraordinary circumstances, a petition will only be considered in programs of study where LA 103 is the terminal mathematics course. While substitutions may be considered, waivers are never granted. If the mathematics course substitution is granted, the student must take one alternate course from the approved substitution list. Please note that an exemption from meeting mathematics requirements in high school or at another college or university does not guarantee a substitution at Franklin College. For further information regarding Disability Services please contact the Associate Dean for Student Success or visit the ARC website. Health Services Health Services, located on the second floor of the Student Center, is prepared to assist students with any health concerns. The Health Center is staffed by a registered nurse Monday-Friday. All services are confidential and most are offered to students at no additional charge. The nurse can assist with making referrals to medical or mental health agencies if needed. When appropriate, the nurse can arrange for students to be seen virtually by a mid-level healthcare provider (such as a nurse practitioner or physician assistant) for evaluation. Sexually transmitted infection screening is offered through a partnership with the Damien Center once a month at no charge to students, and other health promotion activities such as vaccination clinics and substance abuse education events are held throughout the year. The Health Center Coordinator also provides education and relevant materials to students on a range of pertinent health topics.

Academic Policies and Procedures (Topics are arranged in alphabetical order)

Academic Dishonesty and Plagiarism Students are expected to maintain high standards of personal integrity in their academic coursework. In all matters relating to academic dishonesty (including plagiarism), the initial level of communication toward resolution of the problem will be a personal conference between the student and the appropriate member of the faculty. The faculty of Franklin College recognize the following as violations of academic honesty: 1. Dependence upon the assistance of others beyond that which is expressly approved by the instructor in writing papers, preparing laboratory reports, solving problems or carrying out other assignments. 2. Plagiarism. Plagiarism is the use, whether by paraphrase or direct quotation, of published or otherwise recorded materials or the unpublished work of another person without full and clear acknowledgment. a. Because electronic information is volatile and easily reproduced, respect for the work and personal expression of others is especially critical in computer environments. Violations of authorial integrity, including plagiarism, invasion of privacy, unauthorized access and trade secret and copyright violations are grounds for sanctions against members of the academic community. This includes, but is not limited to, purchasing or acquisition of term papers, speeches, and printed materials from “term paper mills.” b. It also includes appropriating portions of another‘s work to use without attribution 3. Cheating on quizzes, tests, any kind of assessment or examinations by: a. Referring during the examination to books, papers, notes, and electronic devices not specifically authorized by the instructor. b. Receiving during the examination information from another person or communicating information to another person or attempting to receive or communicate information. c. Using a substitute to take a quiz, test or examination or acting as such a substitute. d. Buying, selling or stealing a copy of an examination in advance of its administration or referring to such an examination after it has been obtained by another. e. Obtaining through any means the tests of a professor that he or she normally does not let circulate. f. Participating in or attempting to practice any other form of deceit on a quiz, test, paper, speech or assignment of any kind. 4. Permitting another student to use one‘s work as his or her own 5. Mutilating, stealing, hiding or illegally removing or keeping Franklin College library materials or materials made available for student use by a faculty member or a college department. 6. Unauthorized reproduction of copyrighted materials. 7. Falsification or misinterpretation of research information. 8. Unauthorized use of AI in coursework as described in the course syllabus or as communicated by the course instructor. Procedures for Cases of Alleged Academic Dishonesty and Plagiarism Upon detecting an instance of academic dishonesty, the faculty member will promptly discuss the matter with the student involved. Upon determination of responsibility, the faculty member must submit a full report of the offense, with sanctions requested, to the VPAA with a copy to the student or students involved. The VPAA will investigate the charge thoroughly. If the VPAA concurs with the faculty member’s determination, written notification will be sent to the student, with a copy to the faculty member, the registrar, and the dean of students. The letter will include the sanction(s) imposed as a result of the violation based on the following guidelines: For the first offense, a student who is responsible for committing academic dishonesty as a minimum will receive a penalty of “F” grade or zero for the piece of work, examination, paper, lab work, etc., involved. Additional sanctions

36 may be imposed. The maximum penalty will be for the course final grade to be lowered by not more than one letter grade, whether or not the “F” grade or zero on the assignment has already done so. Determination of a second offense of this type at any time during the student‘s academic career at Franklin College will usually result in the student being dismissed from the college. Dismissal from the college is final, and the student is no longer eligible to apply for readmission. If the VPAA does not concur with the faculty member’s determination, written notification will be sent to both the student and the faculty member indicating that decision. A student reported for a violation of the academic honesty policy is not permitted to drop or withdraw from the course unless the matter is resolved in the student's favor. Action from academic discipline cases will overrule any withdrawal request, and a ‘W’ grade may be replaced with a letter grade when the academic dishonesty if confirmed. Appeals: 1. Either the student or the faculty member may appeal the decision of the VPAA within 5 calendar days of the receipt of notification. The appeal will be reviewed by the Academic Appeals Committee, which is comprised of the faculty members of the Student Life Committee and a designee of the Steering Committee. Appeals to this committee are submitted in writing to the Dean of Students. 2. In cases which involve a sanction of academic dismissal, the student may appeal his or her case to the president of the college within 5 calendar days of the receipt of the decision of the Academic Appeals Committee. The president‘s decision is final. 3. All appeals and appellate decisions must be communicated in writing. Academic Majors and Advisors A major consists of a minimum of 24 semester hours in the major department and a minimum of 12 semester hours in one or more fields integrally related to the major. Courses required in the major field must be completed with a minimum grade of ‘C-’ or better, and a minimum grade point average of 2.00 (A=4.00) must be maintained within the major fields unless otherwise specified by individual departments. No course required for graduation in an academic major may be taken on a pass-fail basis. Many departments require a grade of ‘C-’ in related field courses also. This is noted in the major description of each department. Some majors, minor, concentrations, and courses are offered partially online through a consortium of accredited colleges and universities. Instruction is provided by faculty employed by partner institutions in the consortium, with technology and administrative support provided by Rize Education. Oversight of courses offered through the consortium are reviewed and approved by Franklin College. Students register through Franklin College and receive academic credit from Franklin College. For specific courses required for a major or a minor, refer to the appropriate departmental listing. Courses listed in more than one department may be used for credit under either department, except where restricted by a departmental requirement. Upon matriculation, all students are assigned an academic advisor. After the first semester of the first year, a student may request an advisor change and/or declare a major. In all cases, the major/minor declaration must be initiated by the student. A major must be declared by the end of the sophomore year. If a minor area of study is planned, it must also be declared. The procedure is to complete the major/minor declaration form online on GrizLink. Students will receive an e-mail notification of the completion of the advisor/major/minor change.

37 Academic Probation, Suspension and Dismissal Student academic status is reported to the VPAA upon completion of each academic period (fall semester, immersive term, spring semester, and summer sessions). A student who has attempted at least 12 hours at Franklin College will be placed on academic probation when the following minimum academic standards are not met: Freshman 0 - 26 credits cumulative grade point average of 1.60 (A=4.00) at the end of first semester; cumulative grade point average of 1.80 (A=4.00) beyond first semester (up to 26 credits) Sophomore 27-57 credits cumulative grade point average of 1.90 (A=4.00) Junior, Senior 58 + credits cumulative grade point average of 2.00 (A=4.00) The cumulative grade point average is computed exclusively on academic credit earned at Franklin College. A grade of S or U has no effect upon the cumulative grade point average. Franklin College reserves the right to suspend any student whose grade point average falls below 1.00 for any academic period. Students not suspended after an academic period with a grade point average below 1.00 will be placed in a status of Academic Warning. Students in this status are considered in good academic standing, but must successfully complete requirements determined by the Academic Standing Committee such as completing a student success course, weekly meetings with a student success coach, or adjusting their academic schedule for the following semester. When a student is placed on academic probation, the period of probation begins immediately. A student on probation may not participate in intercollegiate sports; hold office in student government, social organizations, clubs, political groups, or residence halls; or serve in a leadership position of any school publication or broadcast operation. Further, a student on probation may not participate in commencement exercises. Students placed on academic probation may have their course schedules administratively adjusted to add a required academic strategies course designed to assist students in returning to good academic standing. Other conditions for academic probation may be applicable as determined by the Office of Academic Affairs. If on probation during the fall or spring semester, it is recommended that a student take no more than 14 credit hours. Students who fail to achieve the minimum required grade point average after a period of academic probation will be subject to academic suspension. Should academic probation be extended as an alternative to immediate suspension, the student must then meet or exceed the minimum grade point average standards noted above at the conclusion of the extended probation. Students who have demonstrated a past history of academic probation or whose GPA falls below a 1.00 for any academic period may be subject to academic suspension. Students who have been suspended are not permitted to enroll in any credit bearing course until after the end of the stated suspension period and must contact the Office of Admissions for readmission. A suspended student who is readmitted on academic probation must maintain the minimum academic standards stated above during each academic period following readmission. If a student who was suspended and readmitted does not return to good academic standing after one academic period, this student will normally be dismissed. Dismissal from the college is final, and the student is no longer eligible to apply for readmission. Activity Courses Activity courses are one-semester-hour courses in which a student participates in an organized activity on campus. Students may enroll for credit in, at most, two activity courses per semester. The graduation requirement of 120 semester hours must include at least 116 hours of credit other than that earned as activity credit. Courses designated as activity courses are as follows: COR 003, 010; PED 004, 009; MMJ 001, 002, 004, 005, 007; THE 001. All activity courses are graded on a pass-fail basis.

38 Add-Drop and Schedule Adjustment Procedures Adding a course Students may add a course prior to the first day of classes or during the first week of the semester. Once classes have begun, approval of the classroom instructor and the academic advisor are required. After the first week of classes, approval of the classroom instructor and the academic advisor and a special petition to the academic rules committee is also required. Additional fees may be due based on hours added. Due to the special short-term nature of summer sessions and immersive term, a student can add a summer session or immersive term course through the second day of classes. Dropping a course Students may drop a course for any reason without academic penalty and have it deleted from their registration record through the 15th class day of the fall and spring semester, with the signature of the academic advisor and instructor. All student athletes participating in a sport during the semester in which they are dropping the course must also obtain the signature of the Faculty Athletic Representative (FAR), Professor Kim Eiler, before dropping or withdrawing from the course. The FAR must sign the Schedule Adjustment Form before it is submitted to the Academic Records Office. Please refer to the academic calendar for the specific drop dates for immersive term and summer sessions. Students will be charged tuition and fees based on the Academic Records Office’s official drop date. Tuition and fees are adjusted according to the policy listed under "Expenses and Financial Policies: Refund of Charges." Withdrawing from a course A student may withdraw from a course with a grade of ‘W’ through the ninth week of the fall or spring semester, with the signature of the instructor and academic advisor. A student who withdraws from a course after the ninth week of a semester will normally receive a grade of ‘WF’. A grade of ‘W’ can be assigned for a specific course if the withdrawal is for medical reasons and is approved by the VPAA. Due to the special short-term nature of summer and immersive term, a student withdrawing from a summer or immersive term course after the fourth calendar day from the beginning date will receive a grade of ‘WF’. See the annual academic calendar for additional information. Administrative Withdrawal Policy Under certain circumstances, Franklin College may administratively withdraw a student from a single class or multiple classes. The four classifications of administrative withdrawals follow. Academic Withdrawal The Registrar may administratively withdraw or drop a student from a course or courses for academic reasons such as, but not limited to, the following: academic probation, extended academic probation, academic suspension, academic dismissal and unapproved credit overload. A student may also be removed from a course for which all prerequisites have not been satisfactorily completed. An academic drop or withdrawal will be processed according to the established drop and withdrawal deadlines. A grade of “W” will be assigned in the case of a withdrawal. The student’s GPA will not be affected. Disciplinary Withdrawal As a result of college judicial proceedings, a student may be suspended or dismissed from the college for disciplinary reasons. In such cases, regardless of the timing during a semester, the student is withdrawn from classes, earns no credits for the semester and is assigned a grade of “W” for each class. The student’s grade point average is not affected. The judicial process is under the jurisdiction of the Dean of Students. The student will forfeit all tuition

39 and fees for the semester or term regardless of when the sanction is imposed. Students wishing to return to the College must apply for readmission. Emergency Withdrawal As a result of medical necessity or other emergency, a student may be withdrawn from a class or classes. Such requests are made through the Dean of Student Success and approved by the VPAA. Such withdrawals will only be granted based on appropriate medical documentation. Once approved by the VPAA, the student is withdrawn from all applicable classes and is assigned a grade of “W.” The student’s grade point average is not affected. Where appropriate and with an instructor’s permission, a student could receive a grade of “I” (incomplete) in one or more classes. For more information on incomplete grades, see Grading and Credit System in the Academic Policies and Procedures section. Excessive Absence Withdrawal Students are expected to prepare for and participate in all classes for which they are registered and to act in a manner consistent with the College’s values of respect and responsibility while attending classes. When the college determines that a student has unapproved excessive absences, the student may be withdrawn. Administrative withdrawal could significantly impact a student’s financial aid, athletic eligibility, academic standing and progress towards degree. The Registrar, in consultation with the VPAA, may administratively withdraw a student from all courses or from individual courses for unapproved excessive absences. A student is considered excessively absent when he or she has missed two consecutive weeks of class. Such students will have seven calendar days to respond to e-mail and written notification that their continuation at the college or in the course is in jeopardy. Students are responsible for maintaining an accurate mailing address with the College. Failure to respond within the seven-day period and to correct the behaviors to the satisfaction of the faculty member(s) involved will result in an administrative withdrawal. Students wishing to return to the College after being withdrawn from all courses must apply for readmission. If the withdrawal for excessive absences is processed prior to the established semester/term deadline to withdraw from classes, a grade of “W” will be assigned. This grade will not affect the student’s grade point average. If the withdrawal is processed after the established deadline to withdraw from classes, a grade of “WP” or “WF” will be assigned. The grade of “WP” is not calculated into the GPA. However, the grade of “WF” is calculated into the GPA as a grade of “F.” The student will forfeit applicable academic credit, tuition, and fees for the semester or term regardless of when the withdrawal is posted. AP Credit Franklin College will accept credit for selected College Entrance Examination Board Advanced Placement exams (AP). Franklin College does not administer the AP test. However, students may receive credit by examination by providing an official record of examination results. The following table includes the examinations, passing scores, hours of credit allowed, and Franklin College course equivalences.

*Franklin College will accept AP credit for advance placement in foreign language; however, students should be aware that they can also get advance placement by taking the College’s foreign language placement tests. Please note further clarification listed under Spanish and French Curricula. Franklin College does not award credit for College Level Examination Program (CLEP) subject exams; however, CLEP exams may be taken to demonstrate proficiency in the foreign languages. Assessment College-wide assessment of college learning outcomes is an essential activity at Franklin College. Students will be required to participate in regular assessment at various points during their careers at Franklin College. Incoming first-year students will be tested upon entrance. Students wishing to register for their senior year may be required to show evidence of participation in specific assessment activities in order to register. Athletic Participation and Eligibility All student-athletes must be enrolled full-time during the semester(s) of their sports participation. Full-time is defined as 12 or more semester hours of credit (excluding ASC 080 or 085). Student-athletes should note that current NCAA Division III regulations require that a student-athlete make satisfactory progress toward a degree and be in good academic standing to be eligible for participation in intercollegiate athletics. To be in good academic standing, a student must not be on academic probation, nor be the present subject of disciplinary action which restricts participation in extracurricular activities. Satisfactory progress is defined under “Satisfactory Progress Toward a Baccalaureate Degree” in this section of the course catalog. To help ensure the student-athlete is making satisfactory progress toward a degree, he/she must earn 80% of the credit hours attempted. A student-athlete who falls below this expectation will need to provide the Academic Records office with a plan showing ability to complete a degree within the time constraints listed under satisfactory progress. Attendance in Class Since many classes at Franklin College involve active participation through discussions, small group or laboratory work, attendance is expected. Each student shall maintain satisfactory attendance in all scheduled classes in accordance with the policy announced by individual classroom instructors. There is no campus-wide attendance policy, but poor class attendance almost always leads to class failure. If a student is absent from a class, it is his/her responsibility to contact the instructor and make satisfactory arrangements to complete material due or make up work missed. For additional information regarding excessive absences, see the Administrative Withdrawal Policy in the Academic Policies and Procedures section. Attendance at Commencement Candidates for degrees are required to be present at commencement exercises in the prescribed academic attire. Exceptions to this rule will be made only in extreme cases and upon petition to the VPAA. Degree candidates must be in good academic standing to participate in commencement exercises. Students who are within nine semester hours of completing the requirements for graduation may be included in the May commencement exercises. The student must petition the Academic Rules Committee to be listed in the commencement program. The petition must demonstrate proof as to how the remaining hours and requirements will be completed prior to August 31st. Diplomas will be presented only to those who have fully completed all requirements and have met all financial obligations to the college.

42 Auditing Courses Students may audit up to two courses per semester. The fee per course, regardless of the number of credit hours, is $205. In all circumstances, auditing students will follow course established attendance policies. Auditing students are exempt from exams but are responsible for class assignments and projects. A grade of “AU” is given only for informational instruction obtained by attending the course. Students not satisfying course expectations may be given a grade of “U.” Student must elect to audit a course within the first week of classes and cannot take the course for credit thereafter. Although, students will not be awarded course credit for those courses they choose to audit, they will receive the same services as other students. Should the student not attend the course, the instructor may administratively withdraw the student from the audited course. Class Level A student’s class level is determined by the total number of credit hours successfully completed: Freshman 0 - 26 credit hours completed Sophomore 27 - 57 credit hours completed Junior 58 - 90 credit hours completed Senior 91 and above credit hours completed Class-Related Activities An instructor of a class may not require a student to attend an on-campus or off-campus activity that would result in the student missing one or more of her or his regularly scheduled classes. However, instructors are encouraged to be as flexible as possible about allowing a student to miss their class for activities scheduled in another course in order to significantly benefit the student. College-Sponsored Activities Wherever possible, college-sponsored activities (e.g., intercollegiate athletic competitions, music ensemble performances, etc.) that might conflict with classes should be scheduled before the beginning of the semester, and faculty should be informed of these schedules. In planning these schedules, coaches and directors of collegesponsored activities should avoid class conflicts wherever possible. Students who are participating in these activities are further obligated to inform their instructors of anticipated work missed. The professor, after conferring with the student, will make a reasonable effort to determine an appropriate plan for the student to make up the missed work, which may include completing alternative assignments. Consortium for Urban Education (CUE) During the fall or spring semester a student may want/need to take a class at one of the consortium schools with which Franklin College is affiliated (list is available in the Academic Records Office). A student may enroll in only one CUE course during a given semester. These courses are limited in seating and need to be requested well in advance. (CUE requests are not processed at the hosting schools until their students have completed registration.) Member schools of the consortium require a student to enroll through their home school (Franklin College) and pay all tuition and fees through the student’s home school. Any other fees and books for the CUE courses are the responsibility of the student. The student will not receive a transcript from the host institution; instead the grade is sent to the Academic Records Office at Franklin College to be recorded on the Franklin College transcript and is entered as a grade; however, the student’s GPA is not impacted since the course was taken off campus. All questions should be directed to the Associate Registrar in the Academic Records Office. Convocation Programs A convocation program, which is organized around an annual theme, provides regularly-scheduled opportunities for students and faculty to attend special events of significant cultural value that add variety to the educational experience at the college. Instructors are encouraged to require attendance at convocation programs as course assignments.

43 Co-op Semester Students wishing an alternative to the normal, eight-semester program of study may apply for the cooperative semester program. Qualified students are placed in full-time, semester-long employment positions in a variety of fields, including accounting, business, computer science, and journalism. The program provides an excellent opportunity to gain practical experience and employment contacts with a minimal interruption in academic work. The co-op semester is transcribed as “Franklin College Cooperative Semester in (field).” A minimal registration fee of $100 is charged instead of tuition. No credits are earned through this program, nor are grades given. A minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.00 (A=4.00) and junior class standing are required to register. Applications are available from the Director of Career Services. A resume and recommendations from previous internship supervisors and/or employers are required as part of the application. Applications will be reviewed by the Director of Career Services, the Registrar, and the chairperson of the student’s major department. Students may wish to discuss with academic departments the possibility of practicum credit for specific work done during the semester. Students need not apply for readmission to Franklin College upon completion of the cooperative semester. An appointment with the Director of Career Services is required for assistance in securing contacts and completing requirements for co-op registration. Course Load The normal course load is 12-19 hours per semester. To carry a load in excess of 19 hours for freshmen and sophomores or 21 hours for juniors and seniors requires special approval of the academic advisor and the academic rules committee. There is an additional fee for each semester hour in excess of 20. A student may not audit more than two courses per academic term. The maximum course load during a summer session is two courses per summer session. Students must obtain the approval of the academic advisor and the academic rules committee to enroll in more than two courses per summer session. The maximum course load during immersive term is one course or one internship. Course Numbering The course numbering system is designed as an aid to students and academic advisors. The year in which a student should enroll in a course, and the way in which a course fits into the Franklin College curriculum, is described by the course number. The year in which a course should be taken is traditionally described by the first digit in a course number: 000 - 050 Activity courses (any year) 051 - 099 Developmental courses 100 - 199 Freshman 200 - 299 Sophomore, or qualified freshman, unless otherwise indicated 300 - 399 Junior, or qualified freshman or sophomore, unless otherwise indicated 400 - 499 Senior, or qualified sophomore or junior, unless otherwise indicated Courses numbered 051 - 099 are classified by the faculty as developmental courses, credit for which applies to financial aid, housing, athletic eligibility, and other such purposes unless otherwise specified, but does not apply toward graduation requirements. Credit Hour Definition In accordance with federal regulations, Franklin College defines one credit hour as “an amount of work represented in intended learning outcomes and verified by evidence of student achievement that is”

44 1. Not less than one hour (50 minutes) of classroom or direct faculty instruction and a minimum of two hours out of class student work each week for fourteen instructional weeks (15 calendar weeks with breaks) for one semester hour of credit. 2. At least an equivalent amount of work as required in # 1 above for other academic activities including laboratory work, internships, practica, service learning courses, undergraduate research, studio work, individualized studies, and other academic work leading to the awarding of credit hours. A valid internship will include a minimum of 30 hours’ work at the job site for each credit hour awarded or, if teacher education, 20 full days at a school site for a 4-credit hour internship (a standard internship load). Faculty supervising practica, service learning courses, undergraduate research, studio work, individualized studies, and other academic work leading to the awarding of credit must report scheduled meeting times to the Academic Records Office for record keeping and verification purposes. The Director of Career Development and appropriate faculty members will work with internship supervisors to monitor student hours at internship sites. Verification of student hours will be reported on a final supervisor evaluation. The Academic Records Office will be responsible for monitoring credit hour accuracy for each standard semester or non-standard term. Credit Hours for Engaged Learning For learning that takes place in ways other than a formal lecture/seminar course (e.g. performance, research, internships, community based work and learning), credit hours will be assigned on the basis of at least 3 hours of work per week, for the duration of a 14-15 week semester, for 1 credit hour. It is expected that these hours will include some organized contact with an instructor to discuss/report on/enhance the experience. This contact need not occur during regular class times and may occur on a one-on-one basis, or as a group. The nature of the contact with the instructor should be outlined in the course syllabus. Experiential courses may include a mix of the traditional lecture (with 2 associated preparatory hours) and added experiential work. To further clarify, we have provided some representative examples. These are not exclusive but are meant to illustrate how this formula might be appropriately applied. Undergraduate Research Students conduct research with a faculty member including work in a laboratory, library, or other research setting during a semester. Credit hours will be assigned on the basis of at least 3 hours of work per week, for the duration of a 14-15 week semester for 1 credit hour. Students are expected to meet with their research advisor on a regular basis to discuss project results and plan future experiments, research, or presentations. Civic Engagement Community service that is connected with a class or course of study would also be eligible for credit under the auspices of experiential learning. For example, if students enrolled in a course on sustainability spend 1 full-time week during spring break working for Habitat for Humanity (ca. 40-45 hours), this may be the equivalent of 1 credit hour of the course requirements. Alternatively, students may be engaged in community-based work for three hours per week over the semester for 1 credit hour. Community work must be linked to the course’s academic content. Organized instructor contact/reporting is required. The mechanism for instructor contact/reporting should be outlined in the course syllabus.

45 Travel Courses Instruction and student work for the purposes of credit hour computation in travel seminars includes the following types of activities that advance the learning objectives of the course: • Course meetings before, during, and after the dates of travel • Time to read/view assigned texts • Lectures (from the course instructor, guest lecturers, faculty/staff/students at partner institutions, guides, local residents, etc.) • Discussion meetings (with course instructors, guest lecturers, faculty/staff/students at partner institutions, guides, local residents, peers, etc.) • Museum, clinical, business, governmental, or other site visits • Organized cultural excursions and performances • Service learning projects • Student presentations • Synthesis/processing/reflection time (may be used for writing, discussion, or production of creative work which may take many forms including but not limited to journals, formal papers, blogs, art, music, etc.) For example, a 3-credit course should require the equivalent of 9 hours of combined direct instruction and student work per week for the equivalent of a 14-week semester. Given that the “course hour” is 50 minutes, this would be a baseline of 105 total hours for the course. Internships Internships are hands-on experiences designed to provide the student with pre-professional work projects under the guidance of a practicing professional supervisor. Each internship can be between one and twelve credit hours; however, typical internships carry three-four hours of credit, are graded on a satisfactory/unsatisfactory basis, and require approval of the director of career development and the student’s faculty advisor or, if teacher education related, the director of teacher education, or, if in exercise science, approval by members of the exercise science faculty. Internships require a minimum of 30 hours of internship work for each credit hour earned, so a valid four credit hour internship will include a minimum of 120 hours’ work at the job site or, if teacher education, 20 full days at a school site. Other requirements may be included by the Franklin College supervisor in conjunction with the internship site supervisor. Internships may be taken during the immersive term, where they also count as immersive term credit. Internships may also be taken during fall, spring, and summer sessions with permission from the director of career development or appropriate faculty internship supervisor. Dean’s List The Dean’s List is a published announcement of high academic achievement for the fall and spring semesters. To be eligible for this honor, a student must complete 12 or more regular-graded credit hours for the semester (courses taken on a pass/fail basis are not included in the 12 hours) and achieve a semester grade point average of 3.5000 to 3.9999 (A=4.00). Students who achieve a semester grade point average of 4.00 (A=4.00) will be placed on the President’s List (see President’s List in this section of the catalog). Degree Applications and Audits An application for degree must be filed with the Academic Records Office before the student is considered for graduation. The application should be filed at the beginning of the spring semester (Feb. 21st) prior to the following December, or January, May, or August of the next calendar year graduation date. At the time the student applies to graduate, the Academic Records Office will audit the student’s academic progress. The student is responsible for updating the audit once it has been emailed. Audits will be emailed to students’ Franklin College email address.

46 Audits conducted prior to this first official audit are expected to be completed by the student and his/her academic advisor. Federal Family Educational Rights & Privacy Act (FERPA) The 1974 Federal Family Education Rights and Privacy Act was designated to protect the privacy of educational records, to establish the rights of students to inspect and review their educational records, to provide students some control over the disclosure of information from their records, and to provide guidelines for the correction of inaccurate or misleading data through informal and formal hearings. Students also have the right to file complaints with The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act office concerning alleged failures by the institution to comply with the Act. A summary of Franklin College’s statement of compliance with FERPA (or the Buckley Amendment), a copy of the amendment, and the full statement of compliance are available in the Academic Records Office for your review. The offices and departments at the college which collect and maintain academic, financial, academic advising, personal counseling, disciplinary, placement, and other information about students shall adhere to the following policy regarding the release of such information. For students wishing to review their educational records, a Student Request to Inspect Educational Records form must be completed in the Academic Records Office. Information will then be accessible to the student for review within 30 working days from receipt of the written request. At its discretion, the college may disclose directory information in response to inquiries about individual students. Items considered directory information include: 1. Name, local address, local phone number, photo and campus e-mail address 2. Date and place of birth 3. Home (permanent) address 4. Confirmation of current enrollment (or admittance) including class level and major 5. Dates of attendance 6. Full or part-time status 7. Awards and honors received, including Dean’s and President’s list, degrees conferred and dates 8. Previous institutions attended 9. Past and present participation in officially recognized college activities, including athletics 10. Physical and performance statistics of members of athletic teams Students may, if they desire, request that certain or all directory information not be released except upon their written consent. To make such a request a student must complete a Request to Prevent Disclosures of Directory Information form in the Academic Records Office by June 15th of the prior academic year. (New students are notified of this policy upon admittance.) Please consider very carefully the consequences of any decision by you to withhold any “Directory Information.” Should you decide to inform the institution not to release any or all of the “Directory Information,” any future request for such information from non-institutional persons or organizations will be refused. This request is void upon a student’s departure from the college. The institution will honor requests to withhold any “Directory Information.” However, Franklin College does not assume responsibility to contact you for subsequent permission to release this information. Regardless of the effect upon you, the institution assumes no liability for honoring your instructions that such information be withheld. All other information about students is restricted information. Non-directory or restricted information may be released to parents and/or guardians of students defined as dependent by the Internal Revenue Service or to parents of those students who have self-identified as dependent. For all other purposes, written consent of the student must be obtained before the release of restricted information to any person, office, or agency without a legitimate educational interest.

47 A school official is one of the following: a person employed by Franklin College in an administrative, supervisory, academic, research or support staff position; a person serving on an institutional governing body; a person or agency employed by (or under contract to) Franklin College to perform a special task, such as an attorney or auditor; or a student serving on a committee or assisting another school official in fulfilling his or her professional responsibilities. A school official is determined to have a legitimate educational interest if the information requested is necessary for that official to: perform appropriate tasks that are specified in his/her position description or by a contract agreement; perform a task related to a student’s education; perform a task related to the discipline of a student; or provide a service or benefit relating to the student or student’s family, such as health care, counseling, job placement or financial aid. Access to this information does not constitute authorization to share this information with a third party. Please do not hesitate to contact the Academic Records Office with any questions you may have or to clarify details of this federal law. Final Exam Information The VPAA has developed the following clarifications regarding the issues of class activities prior to exams and students scheduled with more than two final exams on a single exam day: There are no restrictions on any class activities during the two weeks prior to final exam week. Each faculty member‘s charge during that period is the same as it is for the rest of the semester, to make appropriate use of the instructional time made available to the students. As always, faculty are expected to meet each class during final exam week and have the students engage in substantive work for a substantial portion of the two-hour period assigned to the class. Adjustments to scheduled exam times or places must be approved in advance by the VPAA. Students who are scheduled to take three exams in one day may seek relief. If a student is seeking relief, s/he should notify each of the three instructors of the conflict by presenting, in writing, a listing of the conflict along with a listing of the three instructors who are involved. If one of the instructors is willing to re-schedule the exam, the problem is solved. If it is not settled in this manner, the VPAA should be notified and the faculty will be convened to discuss a solution. Students seeking relief do not have the right to stipulate when an exam will be rescheduled. There is no expectation that instructors will provide a review day for any test or final exam. Many classes will have a test during the last week of classes over the material most recently covered, particularly when the final exam is cumulative in nature. Questions regarding these matters should be directed to the VPAA. Foreign Language Requirement Students who upon matriculation do not demonstrate proficiency equivalent to satisfactory completion of a Franklin College foreign language course numbered 111 or higher or the equivalent at another institution must complete such a course prior to graduation. Students who completed secondary education in a primary language of instruction other than English may petition the Academic Rules Committee to have the foreign language requirement waived. An official letter from the secondary education institution documenting the language of instruction is required. Requests must be made by students before they commence their sophomore year. Further, no college course or proficiency credit will be awarded for that language.

48 General Certificate of Education (GCE A-Level) Franklin College will accept credit for selected GCE A-level examinations at the Advanced Level or Advanced Subsidiary Level. Franklin College does not administer the GCE examination. However, students may receive credit by examination by providing an official record of the examination results showing grades of “E” or better. Examinations will be evaluated as they are received to determine equivalencies. Grading and Credit System A semester hour of credit is the equivalent of one recitation a week throughout a semester. As a rule, one hour of credit is gained for two to three hours of laboratory or studio work. The college employs the following grading system, based on a 4.00 grading scale: Letter Grade A AB+ B BC+ C CD+ D DF I NG AU S U W WF WP CR [] TR *

Grading Reference (1) I (incomplete) indicates there is still a possibility for credit after further work. It is used by the classroom instructor when a definite grade cannot be given because of a student’s illness or because of some justifiable delay in the completion of the work. The student initiates the process by filling out a petition to be granted an incomplete grade; these forms are available in the Academic Records Office. The course instructor then approves the written appeal after having reviewed the circumstances, and indicates in writing how the incomplete may be resolved, and establishes, in consultation with the student, a definite but reasonable completion date for all course work, usually as early as possible. The Academic Rules Committee must then approve all requests and may modify the due date after discussing the matter with the appropriate faculty member. When an incomplete grade is granted, it is the student’s responsibility to consult with the instructor involved and to determine exactly the instructor’s expectations regarding the fulfillment of the course work. The grade of “I” is not calculated into the grade point

49 average. The “I” changes to an “F” if the work is not satisfactorily completed by the specified time, or no later than six weeks after the beginning of the next semester. (2) NG (no grade) is used for reporting mid-semester grades for practica, seminars, and individual studies, or may be used administratively by the Academic Records Office. The NG may also be assigned to labs with no separate credit awarded. (3) AU (audit) grade is given only for informational instruction obtained by attending the course. The student must elect to audit a course within the first week of classes and cannot take the course for credit thereafter. Students will not be awarded course credit for those courses they choose to audit. Should the student not attend the course, the instructor may administratively withdraw the student from the audited course. Students may only audit two courses during a given semester. (4) S and U grades are used in pass-fail courses and in activity courses. The S grade indicates satisfactory work and implies the grade is in the A through C- range. Neither the S nor U contributes to or detracts from the grade point average. A course may be taken on a pass-fail basis provided: a. it is not a graduation requirement, b. it is not a course used to satisfy the requirements of the student’s major, related field or minor, c. the student has completed all requirements for the major before taking a pass/fail course in the major department, d. the student has achieved junior class standing, e. it is not an education course, f. the student has filed a pass-fail form in the Academic Records Office within the first week of class. (5) W (withdrawal) grade: See Add/Drop and Schedule Adjustment Procedures in this section of the catalog. A grade of “W” is not calculated into the grade point average. (6) In the event of a withdrawal from the college after the ninth week of classes, the student will receive either a “WP” or a “WF” based on the grade earned up to the time of withdrawal. A grade of “WP” is not calculated into the grade point average. A grade of “WF” is calculated into the grade point average as an “F.” (7) The CR is used to denote credit awarded to a student according to performance upon certain nationally standardized examinations or departmental examinations. Credit hours are awarded and course equivalences determined; however, the placement does not affect the grade point average. (8) Many courses may be repeated. If a student completes the course with a grade of C- or better, the department chair and the Registrar must approve the repeat. The earlier grade will not be purged from the record; however, the student will be given the benefit of the later grade for grade point average purposes in the semester when the course is repeated. The two grades will not be averaged for grade point average purposes; the latter grade will prevail. If the earlier grade is a D- or better, thus earning the student credit for the course, the student may not earn additional credit upon repeating the course. Courses taken off campus will not replace the original grade in the GPA calculations. (9) A student who earns a grade below the minimum required for a major (e.g., below C or C–, depending on departmental standards) may repeat the course once. This policy applies to all courses designated as required within a student’s major program of study, including prerequisites and core major coursework. It only applies to Liberal Arts courses if those are required courses for the major; it does not apply to Liberal Arts courses taken as part of the core or exploratory that are not required for the major. • If the student does not earn the required grade after the second attempt, they must consult with their academic advisor to: • Explore alternative major options, or • Petition for an exception under documented extenuating circumstances. • Withdrawals (W) count as an attempt unless officially approved as a medical or emergency withdrawal. • This policy does not apply to elective courses or courses outside the major unless they are prerequisites for major-required courses. Exceptions:

50 Exceptions to this policy may be granted only through formal petition to the Academic Rules Committee. Petitions must include: • A letter from the student explaining the circumstances, • Supporting documentation (e.g., medical, personal, or academic), • A recommendation from the student’s academic advisor. (10) Grades followed by an * earn a student credit for financial aid and housing for a particular semester or term. The credit does not apply to the 120 semester hours required for a degree. Grading Changes and Challenges A grade change may be made only by the faculty member who conducted the original evaluation of the student or by the VPAA if the faculty member is unavailable. A grade change is the alteration of a final grade, once the official and clerically accurate recording of such a grade has been accomplished in the Academic Records Office. Grade changes for clerical reasons will be processed by the faculty member and the Academic Records Office. After a grade change has been made, notification will be sent to the student with a copy to the advisor. [Note: Any grade changes a student feels needs to be made must be initiated with his or her professor according to the grade challenge procedure.] Grade Challenges A grade challenge may be initiated by any student who believes that they have been evaluated inaccurately or with undue prejudice in the determination of the final grade in a course. This is a serious charge and the student must bear in mind that the faculty member has both the right and the responsibility to render a fair and critical judgment regarding the scholarly quality of the academic work performed. Grade Challenge Procedure 1. A grade challenge may be initiated in writing by the student to the VPAA within 20 calendar days following the on-line posting of the final grade in a course by the Academic Records Office and only after personal consultation with a faculty member(s) serving as the instructor of record. In cases involving field experiences, the student must meet with the field supervisor and the instructor of record if they are not the same individual. 2. The written challenge must provide specific allegations and relevant supporting documentation. It should outline attempts to informally resolve the dispute, including dates and outcomes of meetings. 3. The VPAA will consult with both parties in an effort to resolve the problem. Outreach will occur within 10 business days of receiving the written challenge. Failure of the student to reply to the VPAA or designee within 7 business days to a request for consultation will result in forfeiture of the challenge. 4. Following the consultation with the student and faculty member(s), the VPAA or designee will issue a written determination to all parties within 10 business days. 5. Should the resolution be unsatisfactory to the student or faculty member(s), either party may submit a written appeal to the Vice President for Student Development (VPSD) within 5 calendar days of the receipt of the notification of the decision of the VPAA or designee. The VPSD will convene the Academic Appeals Committee of the Faculty within a reasonable timeframe to consider the appeal. 6. After meeting with the faculty member(s), the student, and VPAA or designee, the Academic Appeals Committee will rule on the case. The student and faculty member(s) have the right to be accompanied in these hearings by an advisor of their own choosing from within the faculty, staff, or student body of Franklin College. 7. All appellate decisions must be communicated in writing. The determination of the Academic Appeals Committee is final and there is no further appeal. Graduation Honors For students who have completed at least 90 semester hours of work in residence: Cum Laude A student whose Franklin record reflects a cumulative grade point average of 3.50 (A=4.00) or higher may receive the bachelor’s degree cum laude.

51 Magna Cum Laude A student whose Franklin record reflects a cumulative grade point average 3.75 (A=4.00) or higher may receive the bachelor’s degree magna cum laude. Summa Cum Laude A student whose Franklin record reflects a cumulative grade point average of 3.90 (A=4.00) or higher may receive the bachelor’s degree summa cum laude. Transfer students who complete at least 60 but less than 90 semester hours at Franklin College shall be eligible for the graduation honors of cum laude, magna cum laude, and summa cum laude subject to the following provisions: 1. Cumulative study completed at a prior college or university must reflect a 3.5 (A=4.00) cumulative grade point average. 2. The honors grade point average will be based solely upon grades earned at Franklin College. Independent Study Courses Most of Franklin College's academic departments offer independent study learning experiences in which students receive a grade and academic credit for pursuing an individual research and/or reading project in the department’s particular discipline. Normally, the subject is not sufficiently or appropriately covered in departmental course offerings. Upper-division credit in the department is a normal prerequisite. The courses are designed to encourage student initiative and to provide a degree of flexibility in the departmental program. It is not intended that such a course be used to relieve schedule conflicts which have resulted from failure to take required courses in proper sequence. Independent studies may not replace catalog courses in fulfilling specific degree requirements except by permission of the department whose major is involved in any particular case and by permission of the academic rules committee. Permission must be secured before the individualized study begins. Requirements of independent studies are defined by the individual faculty member and the student, with the implication of faculty supervision and regular consultation. The student must complete a form, available from the Academic Records Office, defining the independent study. The form must be signed by the student, the student’s independent study professors, the student’s advisor, and the chair of the department granting credit for the independent study. Independent studies with the immersive term designation must also be approved by the academic rules committee. Independent studies may be taken for one or two semester hours of credit. Students wishing to enroll in more than two semester hours of credit must petition the department chair and the academic rules committee. Every credit given will represent approximately 30 to 40 hours of student work on the project. Individualized Major An individualized major offers highly motivated and self-directed students an opportunity to develop a program of study tailored to meet their special talents, academic interests, and career goals. An individualized major is designed for a student who is able to document the absence of an existing major that satisfactorily meets his/her specific educational and professional objectives. A student may design an individualized major for a first or second major. However, those seeking a second major via this process may not duplicate any courses with his/her first major. Individualized Majors are designed by students in conjunction with their academic advisor and at least two other faculty sponsors, one of whom must be the chair of the sponsoring department. Two of the three members of this Individualized Major (IM) Committee should reflect the student’s educational objectives and career interests. An academic department must also sponsor the proposal. See “Individualized Major” in the academic majors sections of the catalog.

Individualized Minor Franklin College students may apply to create an individualized minor that develops their special talents and interests. Such a minor can include regular catalog courses, immersive term courses and experiences, off-campus courses, individualized studies, special topics courses, practica, and internships (LA courses taken to satisfy an LA requirement cannot be counted). A minimum of 15 credit hours is required with no more than 12 hours taken in a single department and no more than 8 hours taken as independent studies courses. A maximum of four credit hours may overlap between the student’s major course requirements and those proposed for the individualized minor. Examples of possible individualized minors include: women’s studies, medical ethics, African American studies, East Asian studies, Latino studies. Students with an interest in an individualized minor must have achieved a minimum GPA of 2.00 (A=4.00). They must submit a proposal, which has the support of a faculty sponsor. Detailed information on these requirements and an application may be obtained from the Academic Records Office. Final approval must come from the academic rules committee. International Baccalaureate (IB) Examination Credit The International Baccalaureate (IB) is an advanced international educational programme for high school students. Franklin College recognizes credit from the International Baccalaureate academic programme and encourages students to submit IB exam scores to the Academic Records Office for evaluation Course credit may be granted for IB credit meeting both of the following guidelines. a. IB credits taken in the Diploma Programme b. IB credits granted for the Higher Level (HL) Examination with scores of 5, 6, or 7*. *Philosophy and Psychology credit for either Subsidiary Level (SL) or HL Examinations. For more information on the IB, visit their website at www.ibo.org. For more information on Franklin College’s IB policy, contact the Registrar, at 317-738-8018.

Internship Program Internships are hands-on experiences designed to provide students with pre-professional work projects under the guidance of a practicing professional supervisor. Each internship can be between one and twelve credit hours, but typically carries four hours of credit, is graded on a satisfactory/unsatisfactory basis, and requires approval of the director of career development, the departmental faculty of record, and the student’s faculty advisor or, if teacher education related, the director of teacher education or, if in the area of exercise science, the internship supervisor in the department of exercise science. Internships require a minimum of 30 hours of internship work for each credit hour earned, so a valid four credit hour internship will include a minimum of 120 hours’ work at the job site or, if teacher education, 20 full days at a school site. Other requirements may be included by the supervisor in conjunction with the faculty of record and the director of career development. Internships may be taken during the immersive term, where they also count as immersive term credit. Internships may also be taken during fall, spring and summer sessions with permission from the director of career development or appropriate faculty internship supervisor. Students may not register for internships online. Students must meet with the director of career development to obtain an internship information form and add/drop forms must be signed by a faculty of record and must have approval of the faculty advisor. SNT 489 internships may be completed during the spring of the junior year, the summer prior to the senior year, during the senior year, or earlier when deemed appropriate by an academic department. These internships typically carry three to twelve hours of credit depending upon the nature of the experience, the hours involved, and the duration and must be directly related to a student’s major. SNT 489 internships or their departmental equivalents must be approved in advance by either the department or the student’s faculty advisor and, if applicable, the director of career development. Students must plan ahead. Internships require time to arrange. For example, immersive term internships must be arranged early in the fall semester, and summer session internships must be arranged early in the spring semester. Interested students should contact the director of career development, the director of teacher education, or the intern supervisor in the department of exercise science as soon as possible. At the latest, arrangements must be completed by posted deadlines during registration of the semester prior to the desired internship. The college cannot guarantee that a suitable internship can be arranged for all students. The internship program is an experiential education opportunity. It is primarily the responsibility of the student, with the help of the internship director and appropriate faculty members, to establish and plan an internship with a company or organization.

54 Invaluable experience and future employment contacts may be derived from the internship program and all students are encouraged to participate. Students should have sophomore, junior, or senior class standing to be eligible for the internship program. Students must register for immersive term internships by first day of class of immersive term. The internship information form, the agreement between the student, the internship site, and the faculty of record, must be submitted to the Career Development Office by the end of the first week of immersive term. Those not submitting the internship application prior to the end of the first week of immersive term may be administratively dropped from the internship. The Franklin College internship program is designed to provide students two lasting experiences: hands-on work in their major field and the personal experience of conducting a successfully guided mini-job search prior to graduation. Academic departments strongly encourage students to experience as many internships as possible during their college careers. Students may complete up to sixteen hours of internship credit which count towards graduation. Internships or field experiences which are completed off-campus are required in all majors. Please note there is a sliding grade point average prerequisite to be eligible to register. At the time of application, students must meet the following grade point average requirements (see department of education for education requirements): Sophomores Juniors Seniors

2.50 grade point average overall 2.25 grade point average overall 2.00 grade point average overall

Higher grade point averages in a student’s major field will not be accepted in place of the overall grade point average. Midterm Grades Midterm grades are issued to students after the midpoint of the semester and are not recorded on a student’s transcript. These grades are intended to serve only as advisory reports on academic progress. Midterm grades are only reported during the fall and spring semesters. Modern Language Placement Tests Franklin College offers modern language placement tests for French, German, and Spanish. See the French and Spanish curricula in this catalog for detailed information on how to receive credits for courses relating to the placement exam. All students who have taken coursework in French, German, or Spanish are required to take the appropriate modern language placement test or sign the foreign language placement test waiver upon admittance to the college. Those with experience in other foreign languages should take an assessment off campus and send the results to the Academic Records Office. College Level Examination Program (CLEP) subject exams may be taken to demonstrate proficiency in a particular foreign language. Non-traditional Credit Franklin College may award a maximum of 16 credit hours for documented nontraditional training or courses. Academic credit may be awarded for successful completion of non-collegiate courses or training programs which are recommended for credit by the American Council on Education as reported in either The Directory of the National Program on Non-Collegiate-sponsored Instruction (College Credit Recommendations) or The National Guide to Educational Credit for Training Programs.

55 Off-Campus Courses All requests from matriculated students to take courses off campus must be approved by the advisor, the chair of the instructional department, and the Assistant Registrar. If such credit is to be used to meet teacher licensure requirements, the teacher licensure officer must also give approval. The off-campus course request form is available in the Academic Records Office. Workshops will not ordinarily be accepted for credit. Correspondence study through a regionally accredited institution may be accepted, but must have prior approval by the advisor, the instructional departments affected, and by the Associate Registrar. Before submitting the form to the Academic Records Office for final approval, the student should consult with his/her advisor and attach the necessary course description to the request form. Courses transferred from another institution will not impact the student’s GPA. Students taking courses during the fall, spring, or summer terms as a guest student at another institution are responsible for all arrangements and registration activities at the hosting institution. All tuition, fees, and books are the student’s responsibility. At the completion of the course, the student needs to request that an official transcript be sent to the Franklin College Academic Records Office for processing transfer credit. Petitions Occasionally circumstances occur when a student needs a change or a waiver of a college requirement. That student can submit a petition requesting that change or waiver to the Academic Rules Committee for review. Changes to departmental requirements must be approved by the faculty in the department. All changes or substitutions must be communicated to the Academic Records Office. Practica Practica are learning experiences in which students receive a grade and academic credit for using skills learned in the classroom in a practical context outside the classroom. Every credit given will represent approximately 30 to 40 hours of student work on the project. Many practica require the student to document the process of the application of these skills. Departments may define specific requirements of their respective practica with the implication of faculty supervision and regular consultation. Pre-professional Programs The faculty of Franklin College advise students who are interested in graduate or professional schools, such as dentistry, medicine, law, engineering, optometry, podiatry, medical laboratory science, pharmacy, physical therapy, occupational therapy, physician’s assistant, and veterinary medicine, to learn the specific course requirements of the schools of interest to them. Professional schools do not require students to graduate with a specific major. They seek individuals who show competence in selected areas of knowledge, who can think analytically, and who can express themselves effectively. As one of the ways to aid students in achieving their professional goals, Franklin College has developed pre-professional programs that meet most of the general entrance requirements of the professional schools. These programs, however, are not majors, and students must complete the requirements for at least one of the college’s majors in order to graduate from Franklin College. The college’s pre-law advisor, Professor Randall Smith, should be consulted about best practices in preparation for law school. A student from any major, with the right skills and preparation, may attend law school. The college’s Academic Catalog provides the plan for students obtaining a pre-law designation. Students should contact a prelaw advisor early in their career at Franklin College to ensure they are following the proper course requirements. The college’s pre-medical advisor maintains lists of recommended courses for students preparing for entrance to medical school or other health care related professional schools. This information can also be obtained from the

56 College Health Professions Program web page on the college’s website. Since the specific admission requirements of schools of medicine, optometry, veterinary medicine, dentistry, and pharmacy differ, students should consult with the appropriate pre-professional advisor during their first year to ensure they are enrolled in the proper courses. The college’s pre-engineering advisor, Dr. John Boardman, maintains five-year plans for Franklin’s cooperative 5year program with the Witchger School of Engineering at Marian University. Students in this program earn a B.A. degree from Franklin College in Applied Mathematics and a B.S. degree from Marian University in one of three engineering fields, typically in the span of five years. The engineering degrees available through this program are: Chemical Engineering, Civil Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering. Students should consult with the preengineering advisor during their first year to ensure they are enrolled in the proper courses. See the engineering section of this catalog for further details. Prerequisites All prerequisite courses must be completed with a grade of C- or better unless otherwise noted in the course description. President’s List The President’s List is a published announcement of high academic achievement for the fall and spring semester. To be eligible for this honor, a student must complete 12 or more regular-graded credit hours for the semester (courses taken on a pass/fail basis are not included in the 12 hours) and achieve a semester grade point average of 4.00 (A=4.00). Readmission All previously enrolled students who are interested in reapplying for admission to Franklin College must submit their application for readmission to the Franklin College Office of Admissions. Students seeking readmission need to complete the Readmit application at application-for-readmission_FNL_fillable.pdf. The deadline for receipt of applications for readmission will be no later than one month prior to the beginning of classes for that semester or term. 1. Any Franklin College student who withdraws or does not continue consecutive semester enrollment must apply for readmission and be readmitted to the college in order to enroll in any classes. 2. Policies of the academic catalog: • If a student who has not been at the college for 1 (one) semester is granted readmission, the student can remain under his/her original academic catalog. • If a student who has not been at the college for 2 (two) or more semesters is granted readmission, the student will be under the academic catalog in current use. 3. If a student is readmitted after academic suspension, the student returns on academic probation and all the policies of the current academic catalog will apply automatically. 4. If a student is readmitted after being placed on academic probation, the student returns on academic probation and all the policies of the current academic catalog will apply automatically. 5. All students including those who attended another college(s) during their time away from Franklin College are required to submit all official college transcript(s), a statement outlining reason(s) for returning to the college, and a Transfer Student Recommendation Form(s) as part of the readmission process. 6. All students must submit a $200 enrollment deposit to the Office of Admission to confirm their intent to enroll. Students will not be permitted to register for courses until their enrollment deposit is received. No previously enrolled student who has outstanding financial obligations to Franklin College will be readmitted until such obligations have been satisfied.

57 Registration Students must formally register every term or semester they are in attendance. Course planning and scheduling for each semester and term are done in consultation with the student’s academic advisor. All necessary financial arrangements must be made with the business office prior to official registration. Registration is held during a published, designated time one semester prior to the semester of attendance and no later than the day prior to the first day of classes. Note: The college reserves the right to administratively adjust any student’s schedule. Satisfactory Progress toward a Baccalaureate Degree Regularly enrolled students are expected to follow a program of study which would lead to a baccalaureate degree within four to six years. Such students will be considered to be making satisfactory progress toward a baccalaureate degree. Students whose programs do not meet this goal will be expected to justify to the Registrar the need for a longer time period. Students who are receiving financial assistance are reminded that financial aid is awarded on the assumptions of a student’s maintaining full-time status and completing a degree in no more than eight semesters for Franklin College and State of Indiana assistance and six years for federal assistance. A student should consult the Financial Aid office if he/she has questions about satisfactory progress for financial aid purposes. Second Bachelor’s Degree An individual who holds a bachelor’s degree from another regionally accredited college or university (not Franklin College) and has participated to a significant degree in an academic program in the liberal arts and sciences may earn a bachelor of arts degree from Franklin College. Requirements are successfully completing a minimum of 48 semester hours of coursework at Franklin College which includes all major requirements. If the previous degree was awarded by Franklin College, the student cannot earn a second degree from Franklin College. Senior Competency Practicum Prior to graduation, each student must demonstrate that he or she has achieved competency in the outcomes specified by the department for the student’s major. The department may require that competency be demonstrated in any of the following ways: 1. A written examination given separately or as part of a course; 2. An oral examination given separately or as part of a course; 3. A standardized examination given separately or as part of a course; 4. A capstone project completed independently or as part of a course. 5. Successful completion of a senior seminar or other capstone course within the major. The student must receive a passing grade on the exam or project or in the course of which either is a part in order to graduate. Senior Residence The college grants degrees only to those who have completed a minimum 48 semester hours, usually the final 48 semester hours, at Franklin College or who have secured, in advance, permission of the VPAA to spend the year in a professional school. Those taking part of their final 48 semester hours off-campus must petition the Academic Rules Committee: students studying abroad do not need to petition. Students must enroll at Franklin College for at least one course during the semester immediately preceding degree completion. In special cases, exceptions may be made by petitioning the academic rules committee. Service members on active duty are subject to a different residence policy; consult the Veterans and Military Affairs, Services, and Policies topic later in this section for details. Testing Out of Courses There may be an occasion when a student believes past experience or knowledge would make attendance in a regular college course unnecessary. The student must obtain departmental approval and petition the Registrar for permission to attempt a departmental exam. No department is required to provide an exam for this purpose. If the

58 department and Registrar grant permission, an appropriately-qualified faculty member, appointed by the chairperson, devises and schedules an exam. Faculty members designated by the chairperson will grade the test and assign a satisfactory or unsatisfactory grade. These exams are offered on a department-by-department basis. They may not be taken for credit but a successful score may exempt a student from a requirement. Transfer Policy (abbreviated) Franklin College will consider undergraduate credits in transfer from all courses taken through an accredited College or University (post-secondary institution) where the accrediting body is recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) and the US Department of Education (DOE) when it can be shown that each course considered has been satisfactorily completed with a grade of C- (1.67) or better and that the course was comparable in content, nature, and intensity of course(s) offered at Franklin College. Grades attained at another institution are not transferable and are not used in computation of the Grade Point Average (GPA) at the Franklin College. Students must complete a minimum of 48 credit hours at Franklin College. No more than 16 credit hours of nontraditional credit may be awarded. No more than 16 hours of armed forced credit may be awarded. The Academic Records Office will evaluate all undergraduate, post-secondary school education presented from outside Franklin College. College transcripts, official test scores, signed military documentation, or the equivalent are evaluated after a student is admitted to Franklin. Transfer courses eligible for transfer credit will be documented on the Evaluation of Transfer Credit form. A course may transfer as an equivalent, as undistributed credit within a department, or as general undistributed credit. Undistributed credits are those courses which are acceptable for transfer credit but have no Franklin College equivalent. These courses are indicated on the Evaluation using the notation “XXX”. When the evaluation is complete, the student receives, by mail or e-mail, a written confirmation of the evaluation detailing transfer credits received. Often times, the evaluation will ask for additional information from the student such as a course syllabus. Upon receipt of this information the evaluation will be reconsidered, updated accordingly, and re-sent to the student. No transfer of credit is official until approved by the Academic Records Office. Please consult the Academic Records Office for a copy of the comprehensive Franklin College transfer policy. In no case will transfer grades received from other institutions be included in the Franklin College grade point average. Veterans and Military Affairs, Services, and Policies The Academic Records Office houses official veterans/military files, certifies students for benefits, and updates academic progress with the VA. Please communicate all changes to academic plans to the Veterans Affairs Certification Officer in the Academic Records Office. Those wanting additional information should contact the Veterans Affairs Certification Officer in the Academic Records Office located on the first floor of Old Main. Armed Forces Credit Franklin College may award a maximum of 16 credit hours for armed forces credit. The most recent edition of the American Council on Education’s Guide to Evaluation of Educational Experiences in the Armed Forces recommends credit hour equivalencies. One semester hour of physical education credit may be awarded for every year of active military service, up to a maximum of two semester hours. Active military service must have been honorable and terms of service must be officially documented.

59 Military Withdrawal/Financial Reimbursement If a student is deployed or transferred for military service during the semester or term, the student is responsible for contacting the academic advisor and Academic Records Office to determine the best course of action regarding the withdrawal from classes or the issuance of incomplete grades before leaving. The student may decide to withdraw from classes or file for an incomplete on an individual course basis. In the case of incomplete grades, individual faculty will be consulted to determine the feasibility of completing all coursework. Fees will be reversed if the student is deployed or transferred in the middle of the semester or term and is forced to withdraw from all classes. Residence Policy for Active Duty Service members Franklin College understands the unique situation that service members on active duty face when trying to complete their degree, and values the sacrifices that these service members must make. Active duty service members must complete a minimum of 32 semester hours at Franklin College to be eligible for a degree. Those hours are recommended, but not required, to be the final 32 semester hours. It is the responsibility of the service member to notify the Registrar if he/she is pursuing a Franklin College degree while completing his/her degree requirements elsewhere, and to ensure all degree requirements are met according to the catalog under which he/she entered. Withdrawal from College A student may withdraw from the college with grades of “W” through the ninth week of the semester. In the event of a withdrawal after the ninth week, the student will receive either a “WP” or a “WF” based on the grades earned up to the time of withdrawal. A grade of “WF” is calculated into the GPA as an “F.” No withdrawals will be permitted after the final examination period begins. If the student withdraws or is suspended from the college before final examinations, as opposed to dropping or withdrawing from a course, the permanent record will note the date of withdrawal unless special permission to exclude course enrollment from the permanent record has been granted by both the Dean of Student Success and the VPAA for circumstances beyond the student’s control. Before withdrawing from the college, a student must complete the appropriate withdrawal process through the Dean of Student Success, as well as secure clearance in the Business Office. Failure to do so may result in loss of possible refunds, as well as receiving grades for the semester rather than “WP”s or “WF”s. If a student is under the age of 18, it is the responsibility of the student to procure parental acknowledgment of the withdrawal. To return to Franklin College after withdrawing, a student must submit an application for readmission, available online and in the Office of Admissions, which must be processed at least one month prior to the beginning of the term to which he/she seek readmission. Students absent from Franklin College for two consecutive academic semesters will be held to degree requirements of the catalog in place upon return. Students who have outstanding financial obligations to Franklin College will not be readmitted until such obligations have been satisfied. Information about adjustments to tuition, board, fees and financial aid can be found in the Expenses and Financial Policies: Reduction of Fees section of this catalog.

Cooperative Programs Cooperative Program Costs and Financial Aid Students should be aware that the cost of many of these cooperative programs frequently exceeds what is normally spent for a semester at Franklin College.

Global Education Programs Intercultural Honors Experience (IHE) The Intercultural Honors Experience is a competitive program designed to help students build a solid intercultural foundation, introduce them to interdisciplinary learning, and provide them with opportunities and incentives to study abroad. The core element of the program is completed in the spring: students take a seminar which focuses on a topic or issue of global interest. As part of this course, students present a research paper at a symposium open to the campus community and the public. After successfully completing all the elements of the program, students are eligible to apply for scholarships that they can use to study abroad for a semester or a summer program. The amount each student receives will be based on the number of applicants, each student’s financial need, the cost of their program, and the quality and amount of planning put into their application. While the selection committee strives to help all students as much as possible, the amount of funding each student will receive cannot be guaranteed. It is strongly recommended that all students work with the Office of Global Education to find a study abroad program that is affordable. Applicants will be evaluated based on an interview, their academic achievement in high school (for first-year students) and at Franklin College, their community involvement, extra-curricular activities, reference letters, and an exam. For more information on this and all international programs at Franklin College, please go to https://franklincollege.edu/academics/academic-initiatives/global-education/#section2 IHE 100 Intercultural Honors Experience Seminar 4 credit hours Spring International exploratory Prereq: selection by committee The course will serve to show students how the humanities, social sciences and natural sciences all contribute to an in-depth understanding of a major global issue or world region. Topics will vary depending on faculty interest and with approval of the Vice President of Academic Affairs. Students who successfully complete this course will receive credit for the international requirement. Global Education Opportunities Franklin College recognizes the value of carefully planned study abroad for students who are qualified and interested in such opportunities. A list of Franklin College’s preferred provider programs is below. More details on each program can be found at https://franklincollege.edu/academics/academic-initiatives/global-education/#section2 or at the Office of Global Education.

The Pursuit Curriculum Mission: The relevant & responsive liberal arts curriculum is the heart of a Franklin College education. An education that nurtures personal and professional development. The program is designed to provide a breadth of experience in the liberal arts while preparing students to think critically; communicate effectively; apply knowledge and skills; solve problems; and reflect on events, actions, and behaviors in a rapidly changing world. The curriculum scaffolds foundational skills yet permits each student to design a learning experience that best suits individual needs, strengths, and interests. Student Learning Outcomes of the Relevant and Responsive Liberal Arts Curriculum: • The curriculum offers a developmental and experiential liberal arts program of study. As a result of engaging in this learning experience, students will: • Demonstrate discernment, • Apply learning, and • Express ideas clearly. These overarching outcomes will be measured via five key student behaviors: 1. Employ critical thinking By developing the ability to think critically, students habitually explore many facets of an issue, idea, artifact, composition, piece, study, and/or event before accepting an opinion or formulating a conclusion. 2. Communicate effectively Effective communication ensures that students present information clearly resulting in enhanced knowledge or understanding. 3. Evaluate issues and systems of personal and public concern This evaluation allows students to engage with and reflect on policies, philosophies, issues, and systems, governmental and non-governmental, that guide society and empower students to act for the public good. 4. Apply knowledge of global contexts As students apply knowledge of global contexts, they demonstrate the ability to examine and explore multifaceted global challenges and their historical roots. 5. Solve problems Today’s ambiguous environment requires student to adapt to constantly changing problems and parameters. Problem solving requires students to explore alternatives, break complex components into understandable pieces, and implement tested strategies to answer complex questions.

Liberal Arts Core Curriculum The full liberal arts core curriculum includes six core courses, seven exploratory courses and a foreign language requirement.

Exploratory Courses As one component of a liberal arts education, exploratory courses are designed to broaden students’ curiosity and enthusiasm for a diverse set of disciplines; introduce students to alternative ways of understanding themselves, others, and the world; and give students tools to innovate, lead, and serve in ever-changing professions in a globally connected world. Students are required to take at least one course from each of the following seven categories: civic learning, creative arts, comparative perspectives, human behavior, international, reasoning & values, and scientific thinking. Permitted substitutions are listed at the end of the exploratory course options. Students may fulfill up to two exploratory requirements using courses with the same departmental prefix, including courses that fulfill major requirements. One course may satisfy up to two exploratory requirements if it is listed in both categories. Notes: ❖ Throughout the catalog, odd and even years refer to the start of the academic year. Thus, 2019-20 is an odd academic year. ❖ Courses with prerequisites are in Italics. ❖ To review course descriptions, see the respective major departments.

Civic Learning (3-4 hours credit) Recognizing the historic and contemporary relationship between education and the maintenance of our democratic traditions, this category empowers each student to build a bridge from academic study to the role of an adult citizen. To thrive, our civil society requires engaged and educated individuals who will serve the public in a government role and/or engage with government toward the public good. Similarly, civically literate adults enjoy the ability to solve complex public and private problems, to assert their rights, and to effectively articulate informed opinions to public decision-makers. The experience equips students with the tools needed to understand and impact policy and governmental structures that guide our society and prepares students to use informed decision-making to evaluate governmental action/inaction. This experience will not indoctrinate students in the values of one party or political viewpoint. A designated course in the major may satisfy this requirement. Transfer courses may not fulfill this exploratory requirement unless approved. BIO 205

Exceptions and Substitutions for LA Core and Exploratory Requirements • LA 103 may be satisfied by CMP 130, MAT 135, MAT 181, or MAT/SOC 224

Immersive Term Degree Expectations Students entering Franklin College as first-year students are required to complete a minimum of two immersive experiences during the three-week immersive term to meet graduation requirements. One of these two experiences must be an on-campus, immersive course (3 credit hours) during the student’s first year at Franklin College. Students wishing to take a study away immersive course during their first year on campus to satisfy this requirement may do so if they are accepted into the course. The second must be an off-campus immersive experience (1-3 credit hours), such as a • Field experience • Practicum • Independent study • Undergraduate research project • Community-based project • Study away experience • Other approved off-campus experience An internship (which may be a new experience, a continuation of a fall experience, or in conjunction with a spring internship) may also be used to satisfy the second immersive requirement. A department approved on-campus immersive experience may also be used to satisfy the second immersive requirement. Students may do two study away experiences to satisfy both immersive-term experience requirements. Students cannot take a second on-campus immersive course to satisfy their second immersive term requirement. Transfer students entering Franklin College as sophomores (fewer than 58 hours) must meet the same immersive term requirements as first-year students. Entering juniors (58-90 hours) must complete one immersive term experience at Franklin College. A student entering with 91 hours or more has no immersive term requirement and needs to fulfill only 120 total hours for graduation. Note: A transfer student may petition the registrar for reconsideration of immersive term requirements if the requirements will impede normal progression toward graduation. The same grading system shall be used in immersive term as in the regular semester, except that internships will be graded on a pass-fail basis. Students who fail an immersive term experience and who do not have time to complete all the required immersive term credits before scheduled graduation must either: 1. wait one year and take a course in the next immersive term, or, 2. obtain approval from the Registrar for a substitution course which will not count as part of the normal 120 semester hours for graduation or for any other regular requirements. Because of the special short-term nature of immersive term, a student withdrawing from an immersive term course after the fourth class day of the term will receive a grade of F. In order to be consistent with the academic purpose of the college and with normal practice during the fall and spring semesters, all students residing in the residence halls during the immersive term must be registered officially

75 in an approved immersive term course, independent study, internship experience, or prescheduled institutional activity which requires on-campus residence. Withdrawal from an immersive term course requires leaving the residence halls within 48 hours. No additional tuition and room fees are charged to students who are enrolled full-time in the fall. If students are enrolled full time for the spring semester and wish to begin coursework during immersive term, they should refer to the section “Expenses and Financial Policies” for tuition, room, and board costs. Part-time tuition fees are charged to students who are not enrolled in either the fall or spring semester full-time. Immersive term board is charged to all students living on campus during the immersive term. Some individual courses may require additional course fees. No refunds for or reductions in tuition and room are allowed for those students not enrolled in immersive term or who reside off-campus during immersive term. Courses and Experiences During the Immersive Term students concentrate on a single course of their choice for three weeks and fully engage with it in a way that is meaningful, significant, and unique to the topic and supplements the type of learning that takes place in a traditional semester. An immersive experience puts the student “in a new world” physically, intellectually/imaginatively, or both, and is engaging, allowing students to celebrate learning. Immersive Term courses should stimulate discussion/debate and reflection. All courses must adhere to the credit hour definition in the 2026-27 catalog in the Academic Policies section. On-campus courses An Immersive course may (1) allow students to engage with the topic in a hands-on way by generating a creative project such as a video, work of art, podcast, performance, etc., (2) allow students to engage with the topic by interacting with community partners or Professional Practitioners on campus or off campus (either in person or remotely), (3) allow students to engage with the topic in an off-campus setting or settings (e.g. museums, sporting events, concerts, speakers, parks, schools, government offices, non-profits, missions, etc.), or (4) allow students to engage with the topic intellectually through extensive and varied scholarship, or (5) allow students to engage with the topic imaginatively through active, in-class exercises. Immersive Term courses must offer students at least three of the above experiences. Immersive courses taught during the immersive term cannot require prerequisites and may not be departmental or liberal arts courses. The one exception is study abroad, which may qualify for international exploratory status. Travel courses involve Franklin College faculty taking groups of students on study tours of particular foreign countries or other regions and cities of the United States. These courses have a thematic focus. Students can satisfy the international exploratory requirement with a foreign travel course over immersive term. Additional fees are charged for travel courses. Independent study shall take the form of reading or research activity in a specific area by a student under the guidance of a faculty advisor. At least two weeks prior to registration, the student and the faculty advisor shall submit to the department chair and the Registrar a description of the project. Independent study may be pursued on or off campus. Off-campus independent study is open only to juniors and seniors, while sophomores, juniors, and seniors may participate in an on-campus independent study. Some students may be interested in enrolling in immersive term courses on other campuses, including foreign study courses. Arrangements should be made early in the fall, and the student must have approval of the Associate Registrar.

Scaffolded Undergraduate Research Through mentored experiences within the liberal arts and major-specific curricular offerings, students will incrementally develop skills that will facilitate the exploration and execution of a meaningful intellectual project or

76 creative product. This experience empowers students to innovate and explore their interests. Within the LA Curriculum, components of the undergraduate research experience are integrated into First-Year Seminar, Reading and Writing Critically, Public Speaking, and the student’s math course. Students may work on individual or group research projects as designated by the departmental structure. Within the major, undergraduate research elements and associated technologies are integrated into a minimum of three courses across the span of no less than two years. The goal is to create a truly scaffolded student experience. Research, Scholarship, or Creative (RSC) Work Outcomes • Students will demonstrate the ability to organize a professional-grade project proposal. • Students, with the guidance of a faculty/staff mentor, will demonstrate the ability to employ standards of RSC consistent with the standards of the project’s discipline(s) as defined by the faculty. • Students will demonstrate understanding and practice of research ethics within a disciplinary framework. • Students will demonstrate the ability to articulate what they have learned from the RSC experience in a public forum in a way that o reflects critical thought, o clearly outlines the research, scholarship, or creative work accomplished, o summarizes any major findings and their relationship to the student’s expectations, and o explains how the project will impact the student’s future work. Note: The above demonstration does not need to be an off-campus experience.

Integrated Professional Development At Franklin College, professional development is not an “add on” to the academic experience. Professional knowledge and skills are intentionally integrated throughout the liberal arts curriculum and all academic disciplines, allowing students to transfer learning to professional, civic, and other academic environments. Faculty collaborate with internal and external partners to ensure students are prepared for the next opportunity. One key collaborator in the Integrated Professional Development student experience is the Practitioner Partner. All academic departments will provide students, at some point during their four years at Franklin, the opportunity to engage with a qualified Practitioner Partner. A qualified Practitioner Partner working or having recently worked in the field brings this experience into the classroom to enrich the learning environment. These opportunities and experiences, in addition to the services, programs, courses, and activities offered by the director of professional development and employer relations, the director of career development, and the office of alumni engagement throughout students’ four years at Franklin, are designed to help students make a confident and successful transition from college to the professional workplace or to graduate/professional school. The Franklin College Integrated Professional Development program provides opportunities for students to be successful in the professional workplace or graduate/professional school. While Career Development helps students find a job by teaching resume writing and interviewing, Professional Development teaches skills and competencies critical for success for students participating in an internship or for graduates beginning a job, such as decision-making, networking, professional behavior and etiquette, communications, and teamwork. Professional Development activities increase students’ awareness of: (1) workplace issues, such as office politics, diversity, employee rights and responsibilities, compensation and benefits, and business etiquette; and (2) personal adjustment and practical issues encountered in the transition to internships and post college life, such as balancing work and personal schedules, managing personal finances (budgets, banking, credit, insurance, investing, buying versus leasing, etc.), relocating, social graces, and managing stress. The overarching theme of Professional Development is the continuous improvement of self, organization, and society. We strive to develop each student’s mental, physical, moral, social, and financial competence to a level that allows immediate success in the workplace or graduate school, as well as long term success in life. In addition to the Integrated Professional Development program, students have myriad opportunities to develop self-awareness and professional skills through exploration of and participation in experiences facilitated by Career Development, Global Education, Leadership Studies, The Hive, and Undergraduate Research, all of which, combined, make up the Engaged Learning Department and are housed in the Ruth Lilly Center for Exploration. Specific professional development opportunities include the following: Professional Competencies At Franklin College, we believe that the many liberal arts skills that we teach and model are key skills which the workplace requires. In the classroom, as well as in co-curricular activities, we teach and assess competencies related to personal qualities, interpersonal abilities, communication skills, and cognitive abilities. Through an emphasis on professional development, we strive to enable students to translate and transfer these competencies to other settings, including the workplace. Awareness of Real World Issues In order to feel confident in making the transition from college to the “real world,” students need an awareness of a variety of issues that they will face. Through workshops, presentations in classes, guest speakers, and resources, Professional Development keeps real world issues in front of students.

78 Workplace Issues Professional Development stays abreast of current, major issues in the workplace so that students can be informed and prepared to respond to these issues as they interview for jobs and enter the workplace. Issues may range from diversity to organizational culture to professional networking. Transition Issues As students leave a fairly structured college environment to face living on their own, maybe for the first time, an awareness of lifestyle issues is critical to making a successful adjustment. Transition issues include anything from managing money, relocating, and insurance to burn out and time and stress management. Business Etiquette and Protocol Many businesses regard a polite, professional manner as a key component of quality. Today’s changing business environments necessitate an updating of students’ awareness of etiquette so that they can respond confidently in their interactions with new colleagues and customers. Additionally, students must consider their online presence and the increasing importance of how social media may affect their ‘professional brand’ and personal reputation. As part of the integrated professional development program at Franklin College, all students will 1.

Complete the liberal arts curriculum focused on critical thinking, global awareness, effective communication, problem solving, and systems knowledge. These skills are needed in complex, ambiguous, ever-changing professional environments.

Articulate, in a culminating, reflective experience, the relevance of liberal arts, disciplinary, and applied experiences at Franklin College.

Additional Opportunities: Workshops & Events The offices of Career and Professional Development offer several workshops and events each semester that are open to all students, and offer tailored programming to on-campus groups like academic clubs, Greek organizations, athletic teams, and more. Workshop topics regularly include resume and cover letter writing, interviewing skills, networking skills, career and vocational discernment, and using LinkedIn and other social media, as well as special topics workshops for career-relevant skills like creativity, problem solving, communication, teamwork, and many more. Career and Professional Development also offer resume reviews

79 and host career and internship fairs, networking events, career- and vocation-specific panel discussions, mock interviews, graduate school preparation workshops, and more throughout the calendar year. Internships Internships provide excellent opportunities for students to gain direct knowledge about a career, to apply knowledge from classroom experiences, and to gain valuable, practical work experience in that field. The Office of Career Development supports students seeking internships for the fall semester, immersive term, spring semester and summer term internship programs, except for education and exercise science majors’ internships. For details, see the Career Development section under Student Life in this catalog. Fine Arts Activities Professional Development, through its financial support of the Fine Arts series, provides opportunities for Franklin College students to develop an appreciation of the arts by experiencing various artistic works firsthand. Attending and/or participating in fine arts events enables students to articulate a personal response to the arts and to value the contributions which various styles of art, music and theatre have made to society.

Academic Success and Opportunity Courses Success in college and success after college depend upon a series of intangible skills and values, e.g., time and stress management, individual responsibility, leadership, ability to work in diverse problem-solving teams, love of learning, etc. These skills and values are cultivated in many parts of the Franklin College curriculum and in all of our academic departments.

Data Science Department: Mathematics and Computing Department Chair: S. Hoehn Department Members: R. Beasley, J. Boardman, J. Gash, P. Fonstad, S. Hoehn, K. Smith, A. Walls Majors: Data Science Minors: Data Science Data science is a rapidly growing interdisciplinary field that lies at the intersection of mathematics, statistics, computer science, and a domain of application. Knowing the context surrounding data being analyzed is critical to making informed decisions, so data science majors at Franklin College take courses from a related field to which data science techniques can be applied. A data science capstone course then gives students experience applying the entire data science life cycle to data from their related field. A data science minor is also available for students who would prefer to focus more heavily on the area of application while still learning some of the key ideas and technical skills from the field of data science. In addition to gaining technical skills, both data science majors and minors learn about the importance of approaching data science projects from a human-centered perspective. All required courses for a major or minor in data science, including all related field and prerequisite requirements, must be completed with a C- or better. Prerequisites for non-majors must also be completed with a C- or better. Education students should consult that department for minimum requirements.

Activity courses and those with pass-fail designations do not count towards the 9 hours. Concentration areas required for Indiana teacher licensing are tracked by the candidate with the assistance of the candidate’s academic advisor and the Education Department. The Teacher Education Program at Franklin College focuses on preparing competent, caring decision makers. It is an outgrowth of the liberal arts structure of the college. The foundation of the Franklin College Education Program is the extensive practical experience that students gain by working with children and experienced teachers in accredited school classrooms. Franklin College Elementary Education Department methods courses are tied to a co-requisite field experience. Students acquire knowledge of how children learn, methods of teaching, and the workings of a school community through these experiences. Depth of knowledge is provided by the college’s rich and rigorous liberal arts and departmental curricula. Compliance with regulations established by the Indiana Department of Education and state and national accreditors may alter the Education Department policies, curricula, and course content regardless of the date of enrollment at Franklin College. Candidates are advised to work closely with the Education Department academic advisors to keep abreast of all changes.

174 Academic Advising Every candidate has an academic advisor who assists with curricular and class scheduling matters and some phases of career planning. While the academic advisors and other personnel are available for assistance, the primary responsibility for taking appropriate and required courses to meet graduation and licensure requirements rests with the candidate. Admission Requirements for Elementary Education Major To be considered for admission into the Teacher Education Program for fall of the junior year, candidates must submit a formal application to the Education Department. Registration for junior-level courses and application to the program do not guarantee admission to the program. Admission to the Teacher Education Program is a prerequisite all 300/400 level professional education courses, field experiences, and internships. The Education Department evaluates each application according to the admission criteria which include: • • • • • •

cumulative GPA of 3.0 (A=4.00) no grade below a “C” in any professional education course or related course satisfactory grades in all education field experiences/internships passing scores on the department’s dispositional evaluations documentation of passing scores on nationally normed, basic skills tests in the areas of Reading, Writing, and Mathematics successful completion of the following courses: EDE 124, EDU 210, INE 200, EDE 222, EDE 225, EDE 230, EDE 235, EFE 284, PSY 117, LA 103 or approved MAT substitute, and LA 111

Candidates admitted to the Teacher Education Program are monitored regularly to ensure that satisfactory progress is being made toward graduation and licensure. To advance in the program, candidates must continue to meet all standards established by the Education Department. Transfer Credit for Elementary Education Program Professional Education courses are not subject to transfer credit approval. Minimum Grades for Elementary Education Program A teacher education candidate must receive a grade of a “C” or better in any professional education course and the related courses PSY 117, LA 103, and LA 111. Background Clearance Reports for Clinical Field School Placements Candidates enrolled in Education Department courses will have many interactions with P-12 students during clinical field experiences and are therefore expected to be law-abiding citizens who can satisfactorily pass the P-12 school’s requirements for a criminal history check. If a clinical field school experience placement request is rejected due to issues with the candidate’s criminal history report or background check, Franklin College has no further obligation regarding placement for that term. A candidate not passing a school’s criminal history check before the first day of the clinical experience will be ineligible for the clinical experience and dismissed from the program. Acceptance for Elementary Education Student Teaching Student Teaching applications must be submitted to the Education Department during the junior year. A Student Teaching placement will be sought only for those candidates who have successfully met all program requirements to date and have been approved for a Student Teaching placement. All coursework required for graduation in the Elementary Education major except EDE 456, EDE 499, and EST 489 must be satisfactorily completed before the start of the student teaching semester. Indiana content licensing tests required for the Elementary K-6 license and the Early Literacy Endorsement must be passed by May 1 prior to Fall semester student teaching and December 1 prior to Spring semester student teaching.

175 Additional Fees All Education Department clinical field and internship experiences carry a fee as well as many Education Department courses. Fees can be found in the annually updated fees section of the academic catalog. It is the responsibility of the candidate to pay any fees associated with P-12 school experiences. Also, it is the responsibility of the candidate to pay the fees associated with nationally standardized tests that are required for admission to the Elementary Education program, student teaching and EDE 499. Indiana Licensing Requirements for Elementary Teachers Successful completion of the Elementary Education Program enables a program graduate to be eligible for an initial K-6 Elementary Generalist teaching license and Early Literacy Endorsement. To be recommended for an Indiana State teaching license by the Teacher Licensing Advisor, a graduate must submit an on-line license application after meeting all state licensing requirements. The state licensing requirements include, but are not limited to: • • • •

Proof of Suicide Prevention Training per licensing guidelines Proof of Human Trafficking Training per licensing guidelines Proof of Child Abuse and Neglect Training per licensing guidelines Official college transcript and proof of satisfactory completion of all college and elementary teacher education program requirements including a minor or concentration area

Note: Evidence of all the above plus proof of stated minor or concentration area must be on file at the Franklin College Education Department before an application for teacher licensing will be processed.

Elementary Education The elementary teaching program is based on a broad general education background with a major in elementary education. The program is tightly structured. Consequently, interested students must work closely with their advisors to complete related-area requirements in a timely, sequential manner. Two immersive term internships are required for elementary education majors.

Engineering Cooperative Program in Engineering with Witchger School of Engineering at Marian University Cooperative Advisor: J. Boardman (jboardman@franklincollege.edu) Franklin College maintains a cooperative 5-year program with the Witchger School of Engineering at Marian University. Students in this program earn a B.A. degree from Franklin College in Applied Mathematics and a B.S. degree from Marian University in one of four engineering fields, typically in the span of five years. The engineering degrees available through this program are: Chemical Engineering (B.S.) Civil Engineering (B.S.) Computer Engineering (B.S.) Mechanical Engineering (B.S.) Students will declare a major in Applied Mathematics and follow that degree program as stated in the catalog. Students with a declared enrollment in the engineering program will be given priority during registration in subsequent semester(s). Students following the engineering program will be required to make certain selections in their liberal arts core and for major courses currently listed as electives in order to satisfy the engineering requirements at Marian University. Those choices are as follows: Chemical Engineering CHE 121 & 123 General Chemistry I and Lab CHE 122 & 124 General Chemistry II and Lab ECO 121 Principles of Microeconomics PHY 211 & 203 General Physics I-Calculus and Lab PHY 212 & 204 General Physics II-Calculus and Lab EITHER PSY 117 General Psychology OR SOC 118 Introduction to Sociology Civil Engineering CHE 121 & 123 General Chemistry I and Lab ECO 121 Principles of Microeconomics PHY 211 & 203 General Physics I-Calculus and Lab PHY 212 & 204 General Physics II-Calculus and Lab EITHER PSY 117 General Psychology OR SOC 118 Introduction to Sociology Computer Engineering CHE 121 & 123 General Chemistry I and Lab ECO 121 Principles of Microeconomics PHY 211 & 203 General Physics I-Calculus and Lab

The courses indicated in the tables above satisfy the “9 additional credit hours” requirement for the major. EGR 156 Intro to CAD taken at Marian University will be accepted as fulfilling the “One of the following courses” requirement in the related field for the major. PDP 200 Preparing for Your Internship is waived as a requirement for the Applied Mathematics degree for students in the engineering program. INT 261 may be satisfied by an internship in engineering done through Marian University if the student chooses.

Information on specific coursework in these programs is available at: https://www.marian.edu/school-ofengineering/ During the sophomore in the engineering program at Franklin College, students take one course each semester at Marian University through the Consortium for Urban Education (CUE), also referred to as cross-registration. These courses are limited in seating and need to be requested through the Academic Records Office at Franklin College well in advance. (CUE requests are not processed at the hosting schools until their students have completed registration.) Member schools of the consortium require a student to enroll through their home school (Franklin College) and pay all tuition and fees through the student’s home school. Any other fees and books for the CUE courses are the responsibility of the student. Students will not receive a transcript from the host institution; instead the grade is sent to the Academic Records Office at Franklin College to be recorded on the Franklin College transcript and is entered as a grade; however, the student’s GPA is not impacted by courses taken off campus. If a student’s request for cross-registration gets denied for any reason, please see Dr. John Boardman immediately. All questions regarding CUE/cross registration should be directed to the Associate Registrar in the Academic Records Office.

English and Creative Writing Department: English Department Chair: G. Phillips Department Members: E. Banks, K. Burpo, S. Crisafulli, R. Erable, T. Franco, A. James, G. Phillips Major: English, Creative Writing Minors: English, Creative Writing, Professional Writing The English and creative writing majors are designed to develop students who can read, write, speak, and argue intelligently and sensitively, and who know the great artistic achievements and profound insights into human experience which our literary heritage provides. Both majors call for extensive preparatory work in the foundations of writing and literature, particularly British and American. Upper-division courses offer specialized work in periods, genres, literary research and scholarship, written expression, and the history and structure of English. Students who complete these majors develop proficiency in reading, writing, and thinking critically, and have a well-rounded knowledge of English literature; thus, they acquire the skills needed to pursue a variety of graduate programs and/or a variety of careers—such as in public service, business, law, education, and publishing.

Pieroni Major: Exercise Science, Sports and Fitness Management Minors: Fitness, Coaching, Strength and Conditioning Exercise science explores the intricate study of how the human body responds and adapts to movement. Our dynamic program offers immersive, hands-on experiences within clinical and community settings, empowering students to actively engage in delivering exercise-related services to diverse populations. Throughout our curriculum, students gain comprehensive insights into the interplay between physical activity, functional capacity, and health across all stages of life. This knowledge forms a robust foundation, enabling graduates to skillfully navigate roles in exercise testing, prescription, and intervention across various clinical environments, including health clubs, corporate fitness facilities, strength and conditioning training centers, and specialized cardiac rehabilitation units. Beyond immediate career prospects, an exercise science degree from Franklin College serves as a springboard for further academic pursuits. It provides a sturdy groundwork for advanced studies in related fields such as physical therapy, occupational therapy, biomechanics, nutrition, exercise physiology, sports medicine, chiropractic care, and other healthcare disciplines.

Exercise science majors must complete EXE 119, EXE 208, EXE 234, ANAT 210 with a “C-” or better before enrolling in most EXE 300 or 400-level courses in the department. Students must maintain a “C-“ or better in all EXE courses. 3+2 Program in Exercise Science and Athletic Training Franklin College offers an accelerated Master of Science in Athletic Training (MSAT) track in the form of a combined Bachelor of Arts in Exercise Science and Master of Science in Athletic Training, with the potential to complete both degrees in five years. This cooperative program consists of common core and specific courses required for each particular program, in addition to specific pre-requisites for application to the MSAT program. Students may apply for early admittance to the MSAT program as a freshman or sophomore by May 1st, or as a junior by spring break. Students accepted to the MSAT in their fourth year are considered graduate students and take primarily MSAT graduate courses, while also finishing any required undergraduate courses. After completing three years of undergraduate courses and one year in the MSAT program, students graduate with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Exercise Science from Franklin College. After completing the second year in the MSAT program, students graduate with their Master’s in Athletic Training. Students interested in this option must remain in on track in the exercise science curriculum and should apply to the MSAT program by spring break of their junior year to meet the early admission deadline for the MSAT program. Students may also apply to the MSAT program as a non-early admit. Please refer to the Master of Science in Athletic Training section of this catalog for more details.

Individualized Major An Individualized Major offers highly motivated and self-directed students an opportunity to develop a program of study tailored to meet their special talents, academic interests, and career goals. An individualized major is designed for a student who is able to document the absence of an existing major that satisfactorily meets his/her specific educational and professional objectives. A student may design an individualized major for a first or second major. However, those seeking a second major via this process may not duplicate any courses with his/her first major. Individualized Majors are designed by students in conjunction with an Individualized Major (IM) Committee. An academic department must sponsor the proposal (see Parameter #5 below). The IM Committee is comprised of the student’s academic advisor and at least two other faculty sponsors (one of whom must be the chair of the sponsoring department). Two of these three members of this IM Committee should reflect the student’s educational objectives and career interests. Finally, a representative of the Faculty Curriculum Committee must sign at the time of approval, but is not a member of the IM Committee. Students applying for an individualized major must meet the following requirements: - Completed at least one full semester of college work at Franklin College. - Minimum GPA of 2.75 prior to submitting an application. - Class level less than junior status (< 58 credit hours). Students with junior status (58-90 hours completed) may petition the Academic Rules Committee for an exception to the academic policy. Seniors are ineligible to apply for an individualized major. Academic Rules Committee petitions are located in the Academic Records Office. Parameters for the Individualized Major 1. As individualized majors are student specific, each student’s IM proposal must undergo all stages of the approval process. 2. The major must consist of at least 30 credits hours of core requirements with an additional 12 credit hours in a related field. 3. No more than 18 of the 30 credit hours in the major core requirements may come from an existing major at Franklin College. 4. At least 20 of the 30 core credit hours must be from courses numbered 200 or higher. 5. At least 12 of the 30 core credit hours must come from the sponsoring department. 6. No courses with an LA prefix may count toward the major. 7. No more than 6 credit hours of individualized studies may be used to complete the major. 8. The major must include a senior-level capstone experience and a senior competency practicum (499). The capstone may be an existing course or an independent study course supervised by one of the faculty sponsors. 9. Students must meet all liberal arts requirements and all other requirements for graduation. 10. All courses in the major must be completed with a grade of C- or better. Student must maintain a cumulative and major GPA of 2.00 in order to graduate with the proposed individualized major. 11. Academic courses taken for the major may not be taken on a pass/fail basis. 12. A course may not count for both the individualized major and another major. 13. This major may include regular catalog courses, immersive-term courses and experiences, off-campus courses (if approved), travel experiences, individualized studies, special topics courses, practica, and internships. 14. An individualized major must be completed within six semesters of its declaration. A student seeking an extension must gain approval from his/her IM Committee. Documentation regarding an extension must be submitted to the Academic Records Office for degree-granting purposes.

227 15. Any interruption, which extends beyond one semester, in a student’s academic progress toward an individualized major requires a resubmission of the IM proposal. Development of the Proposal 1. In conjunction with the student’s IM Committee, verify that the proposed individualized major satisfies the above parameters. 2. Prepare a defense of the individualized major on the IM application, which is available in the Academic Records Office. This defense should include a rationale for the courses chosen to constitute the major and related field and an explanation of how the major will enhance the student’s educational and professional objectives. The student must explain why an existing major at Franklin will not meet these objectives. Furthermore, the student should demonstrate connections between academic interests and vocational or graduate school interests. 3. Carefully complete the individualized major application. (available in the Academic Records Office) 4. All changes to the Individualized Major must be approved by the student’s IM. Committee and a representative of FCC. Any and all changes must be filed in the Academic Records Office for degreegranting purposes. Approval Process 1. IM Committee – signatures on formal application o Includes academic advisor and two additional faculty members (one of whom must be the chair of the sponsoring department) 2. Faculty Curriculum Committee representative 3. Faculty supervising individualized studies, practica, experiential learning activities, etc. –if applicable 4.

Neuroscience Departments: Biology, Chemistry & Physics, and Psychology Neuroscience, the study of the structure, development, chemistry, pathology, and function of the nervous system, can trace its origins to prehistory. In the intervening millennia, the study of the nervous system continued, with the beginning of the 20th century marking the age of modern neuroscience. Since then, the rapid advancement in medical science has fueled an exponential growth of the field. Though some neuroscience careers require advanced degrees, there are many possible, high-paying positions for those graduating with a bachelor’s degree in neuroscience. These opportunities can range from pharmaceutical sales to clinical research, and from work in nonprofit science advocacy to law enforcement. The different concentrations in this major allow students to tailor their course work to both their interests and to their career goals. Students wishing to continue their education in neuroscience with the pursuit of a graduate degree can choose from over 52 Masters and 58 Ph.D. programs here in the United States alone.

Political Science Department Chair: R. Smith Department Members: R. Smith Major: Political Science, Political Economy Minors: Political Science, International Relations, Political Economy The political science department provides the means by which, within the liberal arts curriculum, undergraduate students learn to understand the political process (at both domestic and international levels.) The place of political science in a liberal arts setting has been established for the better part of 3,000 years. The department offers two sets of courses: one concerned with international politics, and another concerned with American politics. Like the ancient Greek philosophers, political science is concerned both with understanding and evaluating the processes which allocate societal values. In so doing, our students will be able to appreciate and understand these two levels of the political process. The department offers core coursework within two majors, which each focus on different aspects of the study of politics. The major in Political Science builds from a core academic and philosophical examination of politics through to practical application. Students majoring in Political Science live the connection between theory and practice as they explore the interplay of politics/law in their choice of an immersive learning experience. Throughout the rest of the curriculum students expand upon this knowledge and experience base to build a formidable resume that includes completion of their own independent research prior to graduation. As a result of this training, students will be able to think analytically about the problems that face humankind internationally and domestically. They will be prepared for such things as law school, graduate school, employment by government at the local, state, and federal levels, as well as careers in teaching. All political science majors and minors must earn a grade of C- or better in all required political science courses. Students majoring in political science must complete the 29 semester hours of political science with a minimum graduation GPA of 2.00 (A=4.00). Students wishing to minor in political science or international relations must complete all required courses with a minimum graduation GPA of 2.00 (A=4.00). The major in Political Economy is Franklin College’s interdisciplinary major. Coursework within the major examines the relationship between politics and economics in modern societies and focuses on problems of both domestic and international policy. Students majoring in Political Economy study the political and economic factors that affect, and are affected by, systems of production, exchange, and distribution. That is, political economy majors analyze how international and domestic political factors interact with micro- and macro-economic factors to determine outcomes in a wide variety of areas including globalization, international trade and finance, regulation, development, taxes, and income distribution. As a result, students will be able to think logically and analytically about the problems that face humankind internationally and domestically. They will be prepared for law school, graduate school and employment by private sectors and government at the local, state, and federal levels, as well as careers in teaching. All political economy majors and minors must earn a grade of C- or better in all required coursework for the major, minor and related field. Students majoring in political economy must complete the all required major/minor courses with a minimum graduation GPA of 2.00 (A=4.00).. Furthermore, regardless of major, all students taking economics courses must complete all prerequisites with a C- or better.

Psychology Department: Psychology Department Chair: J. Bromley Department Members: A. Graci, J. Bromley, W. Eiler, K. Flora Major: Psychology Minors: Psychology Associated Major: Neuroscience Associated Minor: Neuroscience Cooperative Program: Accelerated Master of Public Health; Nursing Program Information: Psychology is the scientific study of human behavior. Even the most introverted, isolated individuals must interact with others at some point; nobody is exempt from the findings of the field of psychology. Because most people interact with others regularly, most people use psychology on a daily basis whether they are aware of it or not. Findings from the field of psychology can be applicable to a broad range of occupations and roles, from managers to teachers to parents. Thus, psychology provides the insight to better understand ourselves and our wide network of relationships. Operating within the strong liberal arts structure at Franklin College, the Psychology Program communicates to students that psychology offers unique ways of thinking and knowing, which have great potential for helping people identify and cope with the world’s problems. Additionally, the program aims to develop in students the compassion, command and comprehension they will need to work toward making the world a better place for all individuals to lead satisfying and productive lives. The Psychology Program strives to: • provide students with a broad and deep knowledge base in psychology • engage students in practical applications of that knowledge base • enable students to develop methodological competence and ethical sensitivity • encourage students to play an active role in their education both inside and outside of the classroom.

All major and minor courses and prerequisites must be completed with a grade of C- or better.

Sociology Department: Sociology Department Chair: J. Jimerson Department Members: J. Jimerson Major: Sociology (Optional Track: Criminal Justice) Minors: Sociology Sociology students study how people interact. They also learn how social interactions influence individual actions and vice versa. By learning to scientifically analyze, evaluate, and interpret social phenomena, students gain skills that benefit themselves and others. The Franklin College Sociology Department teaches students the fundamentals. First, in Introduction to Sociology, students develop their sociological imagination, an ability to imagine or create images of how people interact. Next, intermediate courses teach students to analyze social processes, stratification, and institutions. Sociology majors will also gain useful research skills, such as the ability to do statistical analysis, accumulate quantitative data, and assess qualitative research. In Sociology’s capstone courses, which include Sociological Theory and Research Methods, students integrate and apply what they have learned. These three levels of courses prepare sociology students for careers and citizenship by giving them deep and broad ways of thinking. Sociology students may also focus on Criminal Justice. To emphasize Criminal Justice, students must take Criminal Justice, Criminology, Corrections, and related courses. Finally, sociology majors must participate in professional development activities, internships, and other cocurricular and community-based experiences. Sociology prepares students for life after college. All courses must be completed with a grade of C- or better.

Spanish Department: Modern Languages Department Chair: J. Brown Department Members: D. Alsop, J. Brown, S. Colburn-Alsop Major: Spanish Minor: Spanish The challenges of today’s world require men and women educated within a multilingual and multicultural perspective. The department of modern languages is dedicated to meeting those challenges by offering programs that open career opportunities in journalism, international business, law, Foreign Service, social and medical services, tourism, and teaching. The department offers majors and minors in French and Spanish. The possibility of pursuing an individualized minor in language studies or other related areas can be investigated through the individualized minor program. One semester of a modern foreign language at the 210 course level or higher will satisfy the international exploratory requirement. One semester of a modern foreign language at the 211 course level will satisfy the comparative perspectives exploratory requirement. Advanced Placement Students who upon matriculation do not demonstrate proficiency equivalent to satisfactory completion of a Franklin College foreign language course numbered 111 or higher or the equivalent at another institution must complete such a course prior to graduation. If a student takes the French or Spanish placement test and places above the first-semester level, the student is eligible to receive credits for the courses below the level into which they placed, provided they successfully complete with a C- or above, at Franklin College, the course into which they placed. Students may earn up to 12 hours for French or Spanish placement. Example: Students who place into the 300 level of Spanish will receive 12 credit hours for SPA 111, 210 and 211 upon the successful completion of a 300level course by earning a grade of C- or better. Students who place into the 200 level of Spanish will receive eight credit hours for SPA 110 and 111 upon the successful completion of a 200-level course by earning a grade of C- or better. Credits for SPA 210 and 211 count toward the Spanish major and minor and toward the 120 credit hours required for graduation. Advanced Placement credit for SPA 210 will fulfill the International exploratory, and Advanced Placement credit for SPA 211 will fulfill the Comparative Perspectives exploratory.

The FAFSA can be filed at fafsa.gov and is available October 1st each year. MSPAS students must file or update the 2026-2027 FAFSA and submit by December 1st. MSAT students must file by June 1. • Beginning March for MSAT and mid-October for MSPAS, financial aid awards will be available for enrolled students via the online financial aid system. • Financial Aid questions can be directed to the financial aid office at finaid@franklincollege.edu or 317-738-8075. • Graduate programs offering 3+1, 3+2, and 4+1 formats are generally designed for students to complete both undergraduate and graduate coursework in an accelerated timeframe. Undergraduate financial aid does not carry over into graduate-level study. Undergraduate financial aid may include academic, merit, or other grants and scholarships upon admission to an undergraduate program. Once a student begins taking courses as part of a graduate program, that student is considered a graduate student for financial aid purposes, and all undergraduate scholarships discontinue. This applies equally to students entering the first year of graduate programs like the MSAT program, whose aid and billing structure transition to graduate status at that time. Please note that students enrolled in the MSPAS are NOT eligible for Franklin College scholarships/grants as these awards are restricted to undergraduate enrollment. A limited amount of scholarship funds are available specifically to MSAT applicants on a first-come, first-served basis. The MSAT program director will review each application to determine scholarship eligibility. Eligibility is based on undergraduate academic success and extracurricular experiences that support the candidate in applying to the program. Applicants will be notified of scholarship offerings upon receiving an offer letter. Master’s orientation All graduate students will be required to attend a master’s program orientation. A detailed description of orientation events will be sent to students in advance of starting coursework. Course hour definition For financial aid purposes, the definition of graduate full-time enrollment is 8 credit hours per semester. Graduate students must be enrolled at least half-time per semester to qualify for federal student loans. Course numbering 500-level courses are intended for first year students in graduate programs and for MSAT students completing their undergraduate degree in conjunction with a graduate degree. MSAT students may count up to 12 credit hours of 500-level courses towards completing the requirements of their undergraduate degree if they are completing both degrees in a 3+2 program at Franklin College. 600-level courses are mostly intended for second year graduate level students. Graduation Requirements To successfully graduate from the MSAT or MSPAS Program, students must: 1. Complete the entire program within three and one-half (3.5) academic years; and 2. Successfully complete and pass all required courses, rotations, and program requirements with a grade of C or better and have a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.00. 3. Maintain professionalism.

345 Degree application An application for degree and appropriate degree templates must be filed with the Academic Records Office before the student is considered for graduation. The application should be completed and filed by October 1st prior to the next calendar year graduation date. Grading The Graduate Programs require a minimum 3.0 cumulative grade point average (“GPA”). While 70% is considered passing, the expected level of performance in graduate programs is a “B” average or above. The grading system for the MSAT and MSPAS programs is defined below. Grade Range

Master of Science in Athletic Training Program Director: S. Hacherl MSAT Faculty: C. Shaff, K. Eiler,, S. Hacherl, K. Remsburg The Master of Science in Athletic Training (MSAT) program is a professional program designed for students who do not hold a bachelor’s degree in athletic training but who want to pursue athletic training credentials by the Board of Certification (BOC) and pursue a career as an athletic trainer. Franklin College athletic training is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE). A degree from a CAATE accredited program is necessary for students to be eligible for the BOC exam. Program Options Two options are available for the MSAT: 1. 3+2 program for entering first-year students or potential undergraduate transfer students 2. Two-year professional program for students who already hold a bachelor’s degree Regardless of the program option, coursework specific to the MSAT is completed over one summer session (classes begin in July) followed by coursework over fall, winter, and spring semesters for two years. 3+2 Program The 3+2 (five years total) program is intended for entering first-year students, transfer students or students who change majors early in their undergraduate education. During the first three years, each student will complete the MSAT program prerequisites and bachelor’s degree requirements for the major of their choice (exercise science is recommended). Upon acceptance into the graduate program, students will begin coursework for the MSAT during summer session prior to their fourth year. At the end of the student’s fourth year, he or she will receive a bachelor’s degree. At the end of successful completion of the fifth year, each student will earn a Master of Science in Athletic Training degree. Two-Year Professional Program The two-year program is intended for students who have already earned a bachelor’s degree and have completed required prerequisite courses for the MSAT program. This program is appropriate for college graduates who may want to change careers; those students who decided athletic training as a career option late in their undergraduate studies; or those who did not have time during their undergraduate years to major in athletic training. MSAT Admission Requirements Applications for the MSAT will be submitted through the Athletic Training Centralized Application System (ATCAS), or via email to the program director if ATCAS is closed, and are due no later than November 1 for consideration of early admission into the MSAT program.

Franklin College 3+2 students have an option to apply for early admittance into the MSAT program. Early admit status provides an undergraduate student admission into the MSAT program and allows the student to bypass the external application process and associated fees. A student can apply for early admit status as a freshman, sophomore, or junior, but may only do so if declared as an exercise science or psychology major. Students are eligible to apply for early admittance after the completion of the following: Early Admittance for MSAT application requirements • Complete and submit the MSAT Program application form • Earn a “C” or higher in ANAT 210 (course can be in progress but must be completed by the end of the semester of which the student is applying) • Achieve a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0 • Obtain a minimum of 20 hours of observation with a certified athletic trainer - submitted on the hour verification form • Submit a personal statement (describe observation hour experiences and interest in the AT profession) • Submit two letters of recommendation: One from a faculty member or advisor and one from either a certified athletic trainer, physician, or other healthcare provider – submitted on the evaluation form • For freshman and sophomore applicants: o Application due date: Applicants can apply at the end of each fall or spring semester • All application materials should be submitted to Jared Hancock at JHancock@franklincollege.edu • The MSAT program director will review application materials, confirm course grades and cumulative GPA after final grades are posted, and confirm acceptance into approved 3+2 pathway • Applicants will receive a decision letter from the MSAT program director within one month of the application submission •

For junior applicants only: o Applications are due by 11:59PM the Friday before spring break!! ▪ Juniors who miss the early admit application cutoff date will have to apply through the external application process, see information below

348 o o o o o

The MSAT program director will review applications within two weeks after spring break and provide a preliminary decision letter to the applicant Should the applicant meet all application requirements at the time of preliminary review, the applicant will receive conditional early admit status All final decisions will be determined once final grades posted at the end of the semester The MSAT program director will confirm acceptance and retention status in approved 3+2 pathway Applicants will receive a final decision letter from the MSAT program director by the end of May

Retention Requirements for Early Admittance to the MSAT Students who earn early admittance will be reviewed at the end of each semester to ensure they continue to meet the following benchmarks: • Maintain minimum program requirements in undergraduate major/program • Earn a “C” or higher in all MSAT pre-requisite courses completed at the time of review • Minimum overall GPA of 3.0 Students with early admit status must also meet the following requirements to matriculate into the MSAT Program: • Complete all MSAT prerequisite courses with a C or higher (NOTE: a “C-“ does not meet the requirement), including Anatomy, Physiology, Psychology, Biology or Biomechanics, Nutrition, Physics, Statistics, Chemistry, Exercise Physiology Early admittance may be revoked from students who do not continually meet the required benchmarks each semester. If a student does not meet the MSAT program retention requirements, the student will be placed on probation. If probation is due to not meeting the GPA minimum requirement, the student will have one semester to improve their cumulative GPA to the minimum program requirement. Upon completion of the subsequent semester, the student must submit a letter to the MSAT program director requesting review for reinstatement for early admittance to the MSAT program. If the student’s cumulative GPA does not improve by the end of the subsequent semester, early admittance will be revoked. If probation is due to receiving a grade lower than “C” in an MSAT prerequisite course, the student will remain on probation until completion of the course with a satisfactory grade of a “C” or better, meeting minimum program standards. Departmental consent (MSAT program director) is required if the student is retaking the course from an institution other than Franklin College. If the student is retaking a course that is required as undergraduate course for a major approved for a 3+2 pathway, departmental consent is required from the respective program. If a student is placed on probation for a grade lower than a “C” in one of the undergraduate core sequenced courses, or any of the MSAT prerequisite courses, the ability to progress through the curriculum on time may be impacted. If the student does not improve the grade after the 2nd attempt, early admittance will be revoked. External Application Process: If a student fails to meet the early admit requirements or their early admit status was revoked, the student can still apply to the MSAT program through the external application process via ATCAS (Athletic Training Centralized Application System) which includes a $99 application fee. Additional external admission application requirements and the link to ATCAS can be found on our website https://atcas.cas.myliaison.com/applicant-ux/#/login. Students may be eligible to complete a 3+2 pathway to the MSAT program without early admit status. In some instances, a 4+2 pathway might be a better option. For more information on which pathway is best for you, contact the MSAT program director, Samantha Hacherl, at SHacherl@franklincollege.edu. The MSAT program is a rigorous and intense program that places specific physical and intellectual demands on students. Because of this, students must submit completed medical and program forms. These forms ensure students meet the stated technical standards, such as the physical and mental demands of the MSAT program, with or without accommodations. Additionally, the technical standards ensure compliance with accreditation standards. The complete

349 technical standard document is available on the Franklin College MSAT webpage and with program application materials. Students who have questions about this document should inquire with the Director of the Academic Resource Center. These technical standards meet the requirements set forth by the American Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990. Further, upon acceptance students will receive a program-specific health questionnaire, physical, and immunization record form, including flu shot, HBV and TB information. This form must be completed, signed by a health care provider, and submitted to the program director prior to beginning coursework in July. Direct Admittance for MSAT The MSAT program has two direct admittance options: • High School Direct Admit Pathway • Direct Admittance via affiliation agreement with partnering institutions The High School Direct Admit Pathway is a perfect match for high school seniors who know they want to go to college to be an athletic trainer. This pathway offers a high school senior who meets set incoming and retention criteria direct admittance to our MSAT program. Candidates can choose from an accelerated 3+2 track or a traditional 4+2 track in either exercise science or psychology. High School Requirements: • 3.5 on a 4.0 scale cumulative high school GPA • Proficient in math/science classes (B- or better) • Optional SAT/ATC scores • Apply to Franklin College by March 1st of your senior year o Must select pre-AT track on Franklin College application Once enrolled at Franklin College as a High School Direct Admit, the student must maintain the following undergraduate performance retention requirements: • Maintain a 3.3 or higher cumulative GPA in undergraduate courses at Franklin College • Must earn a C or better in all MSAT pre-requisite courses (see below) • Must successfully matriculate through an undergraduate pathway (exercise science or psychology) and complete all MSAT pre-requisites with a C or better o Students who choose a 3+2 track will finish their bachelors degree after year 1 in the masters program o MSAT pre-requisite courses: ▪ Anatomy w/ lab ▪ Biology ▪ Chemistry ▪ Exercise physiology ▪ Nutrition ▪ Physics ▪ Physiology ▪ Psychology ▪ Statistics or Research Methods • Direct admittance may be revoked from students who do not continually meet the required benchmarks each semester. If a student does not meet the MSAT program retention requirements, the student will be placed on probation. If probation is due to not meeting the GPA minimum requirement, the student will have one semester to improve their cumulative GPA to the minimum program requirement. Upon completion of the subsequent semester, the student must submit a letter to the MSAT program director requesting review for reinstatement for direct admittance to the MSAT program. If the student’s cumulative GPA does not improve by the end of the subsequent semester, direct admittance will be revoked.

If probation is due to receiving a grade lower than “C” in an MSAT prerequisite course, the student will remain on probation until completion of the course with a satisfactory grade of a “C” or better, meeting minimum program standards. Departmental consent (MSAT program director) is required if the student is retaking the course from an institution other than Franklin College. If the student is retaking a course that is required as undergraduate course for a major approved for a 3+2 pathway, departmental consent is required from the respective program. If a student is placed on probation for a grade lower than a “C” in one of the undergraduate core sequenced courses, or any of the MSAT prerequisite courses, the ability to progress through the curriculum on time may be impacted. If the student does not improve the grade after the 2nd attempt, direct admittance will be revoked.

•

When direct admittance has been revoked, the student can apply for early admittance or apply through the external application process

Franklin College has established articulation agreements with partner institutions to support preferred and direct admission pathways into the Master of Science in Athletic Training (MSAT) program. Through these agreements, Franklin College will guarantee interviews for all qualified students from partner institutions who apply through the preferred admission pathway and may offer direct admission to a limited number of students per academic year through the direct admission pathway. Students must meet all MSAT program requirements and complete an application to be considered for admission through either pathway. For more information, contact the MSAT program director. Transfer Policy Transfer students with prior graduate-level athletic training education are evaluated on an individual basis. In direct consultation, the student and the MSAT Program Director develop a plan of study that builds on previous learning, addresses necessary content and skill requirements, and ensures the student’s complete incorporation into the Franklin College MSAT. Transfer students are required to provide the MSAT program director with course descriptions and appropriately dated syllabi for all graduate-level athletic training specific courses prior to approval for transfer credit. Transfer students are held to all application requirements and must complete the application process through ATCAS. As per Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training (CAATE) requirements, students must be enrolled in a CAATE accredited professional-level master’s program for a minimum of two calendar years prior to graduation in order to meet graduation requirements. The MSAT Program reserves the right to request prospective transfer students participate in “placement testing” to determine their knowledge and skill in various athletic training domains of practice. Additionally, once admitted should deficiencies in skills or knowledge be determined by program faculty, transfer students may be required to audit courses where transfer credit was received, as part of a remediation plan. Requirements for Progression and Academic Standing Each student within the MSAT Program must maintain a minimum 3.0 (4.0 scale) cumulative grade point average (GPA) to maintain good standing in the program. While 70% is considered passing, the expected level of performance in the program is a “B” average or above. Student progress in the program will be discussed continually by the program faculty at regularly scheduled faculty meetings and at the conclusion of each semester. A grade of 70% or higher is required for all courses in the MSAT program. As clinical coursework is included in the MSAT academic program, all academic requirements apply to clinical coursework. MSAT students meet regularly with preceptors during each clinical experience rotation to discuss their personal and professional evaluation. The evaluation encompasses skills, techniques, proficiencies and behaviors appropriate to athletic training. The purpose of the evaluation is for the student to receive feedback from their preceptor and the preceptor to receive feedback from the student. Preceptors may request more frequent evaluations if they feel students are not performing adequately in the clinical portion of the program. If additional meetings are required, the student and preceptors will discuss the concerns and come to a mutual agreement on a plan for improvement.

351 The Franklin College MSAT program consists of several clinical experience rotation requirements. Some clinical experience rotations are completed at off-campus clinical settings in Franklin, Whiteland, Greenwood, Columbus, and Indianapolis. In order to fulfill the requirements of these rotations students must have access to transportation. Further, due to the nature of athletic training being a health care profession, students must submit completed medical forms and documentation of up-to-date vaccinations as part of the application process. Academic Probation/Dismissal If a student’s cumulative GPA falls below the 3.0 (4.0 scale) minimum, the student will be placed on academic probation. Students will have one semester to improve their cumulative GPA to acceptable standards (minimum 3.0) to avoid being dismissed from the MSAT Program following an evaluation of student progress by the Program Director and the faculty. If a student’s cumulative GPA is such that it is mathematically impossible to raise to a 3.0 after one semester, the student will automatically be dismissed from the MSAT program. If a student demonstrates persistent inappropriate behavior during a clinical experience, or his/her clinical evaluation average falls below a 70%, the MSAT program director reserves the right to place a student on probation from clinical experience rotations until the student can show progress towards improving skills, techniques, proficiencies and/or behavior. Consequences of this probation (including but not limited to enrollment in subsequent Clinical Education in Athletic Training courses) will be determined in each situation depending on the probation reasoning. If a student is placed on probation a second time, either for unsatisfactory GPA, failure of a course, or demonstrating inappropriate behavior during clinical experience, the student will be automatically dismissed from the MSAT Program and graduate studies. Dismissed students may no longer matriculate into the MSAT program at the college. An academic dismissal may be appealed based upon procedures detailed in the “Student Grievance” section and in the Academic Catalog. Academic Suspension and Reinstatement If a student receives below a 70% in any course within the MSAT program, the student will be academically suspended from the program for the remainder of the academic year and also placed on academic probation. If a student is academically suspended for the academic year due to receiving less than a 70% in any course within the MSAT program, the student is not permitted to continue in the MSAT program and the student must repeat the course the next time the course is offered in the academic program. Courses within the MSAT program are sequential and are prerequisites for subsequent semester courses. The MSAT courses are only offered once a year so any course that must be repeated will result in deceleration of the student from the current cohort and will result in a delay in graduation. The MSAT program faculty and staff make every effort to provide support and access to appropriate assistance to help all students restore good academic standing. The student will be removed from academic suspension and academic probation and reinstated into the MSAT program after the student has successfully repeated the course with a 70% or higher. The MSAT student will be allowed a maximum of two (2) total opportunities to successfully pass a course. An MSAT student will be permitted to repeat a failed course only as part of a detailed remediation plan. Failure to pass a course on the second opportunity will result in academic dismissal from the program. If a student is placed on probation a second time after failing a course, either for unsatisfactory GPA, failure of a second course, or demonstrating inappropriate behavior during clinical experience, the student will be automatically dismissed from the MSAT Program and graduate studies.

Step 2: Apply to the PA Program • Applications for the cohort of students to begin in January 2027 will be accepted through the Central Application Service for Physician Assistants (CASPA) beginning April 30, 2026. • Application deadline: September 1 with “Completed” status. • It is the applicant's responsibility to ensure that all application and supporting documents are submitted directly to CASPA by the deadline. Application materials sent directly to the program will not be accepted. • Applications will not be considered if the application is not designated as “Complete” by CASPA prior to the deadline. Application, payments, transcripts, and at least two letters of reference must be received by 11:59 pm ET on the deadline date. To ensure items arrive on time, try to send all documents to CASPA several weeks before the deadline. • The PA program conducts rolling admissions and it is possible that all interview slots may be filled prior to the application deadline. For this reason, it is recommended that applicants submit early in the application cycle. Step 3: On-campus interviews • Each completed and verified application is reviewed by the PA Program admission’s committee to evaluate a student’s qualifications for admission. Qualified applicants are invited to an on-campus interview which will assess knowledge of the PA profession, communication and interpersonal skills, and commitment to the mission of the PA program. Step 4: Admission Decisions • At the end of each interview session, applicants will be notified of admission decisions (accept, wait-list, denial) within 2 weeks of their on-campus interview. • The PA program admits on a rolling basis. • Preference for admission to the program is given to interviewed applicants that best demonstrate knowledge of the PA profession, strong communication and interpersonal skills, and a strong commitment to the mission of the PA program. Step 5: Pay your deposit • Accepted students will have 1-2 weeks (or less) to accept or decline the offer. Upon acceptance of an offer, a $1000 non-refundable enrollment deposit must be made to hold the applicant’s spot in the class. The total deposit will be applied to the first semester tuition once the student matriculates.

•

Student Health Center (https://titanium.franklincollege.edu/health) for verification. Submit to a criminal background check through the agency selected by the PA program as required by clinical training sites and state licensing boards. Students will be subject to drug screens as required by clinical training sites. Cost of all screenings are the responsibility of the student and paid directly to the agency providing the service. Provide documentation of current certification for American Heart Association, Red Cross, or other qualified program Basic Life Support (BLS) for Health Care Providers.

Admissions Requirements ➢ A bachelor’s degree from a regionally accredited United States institution prior to matriculation into the PA program. Official transcripts conferring degrees completed after submitting the application through CASPA must be sent directly to the PA program at Franklin College. ➢ A minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0 is required. A minimum BC GPA (biology and chemistry) of 3.0 as calculated by CASPA is also required. No individual course grades below a “C” may be counted for a pre-requisite course. Admission to MSPAS programs is highly competitive and a much higher GPA than the minimum is normally required for admission. Required Classes All pre-requisite course work should be completed prior to September 1st in the year before the January program start. A student could still reasonably apply early in the cycle with “in-progress” pre-requisite course(s), allowing the program time to review the applicant’s coursework. However, an applicant may only have a maximum of ONE outstanding pre-requisite course after September 1 to be considered for matriculation to the program. Official transcripts for any courses completed after submitting the application through CASPA must be sent directly to the PA program at Franklin College and demonstrate a minimum of a “C” or better in the required course. Furthermore, the final grade obtained in a course cannot diminish the minimum overall Science GPA required for entry into the program. If a candidate applies to the program and is accepted with outstanding coursework but fails to maintain the minimum GPA required, they forfeit their seat in the program, even if a deposit has been made. Course/grade substitution may be requested, only after a complete CASPA application has been received by the program. •

Patient Care Hours A minimum of 200 documented patient care hours under the supervision of a licensed health care professional is required. • Applicants should NOT include anticipated hours. Only record the hours that have been successfully accomplished by the time of application submission. • Direct, hands-on patient care hours are intended to demonstrate the applicants experience working in a healthcare setting. • Assessment of the quality of the patient care hours will be based upon the description of the applicant’s duties performed, in terms of patient contact and interaction with other healthcare providers. Examples of direct patient care are not limited to nurse, certified nurse assistant (CNA), medical assistant, EMT, paramedic, emergency room technician, scribe, surgical technician, athletic trainer, physical therapy aide, etc. Physician Assistant Shadowing We encourage you to observe (“shadow”) a PA who is actively working in the industry. We prefer PA shadowing in multiple specialties. Note: shadowing hours are recorded in CASPA and should not count towards your patient care hours. Letters of Recommendation Applicants must provide a minimum of three letters of recommendation. One from a professor/instructor and one from a physician or other healthcare provider. Letters from high school teachers, coaches, and/or advisors who didn’t have direct teaching experience with applicant will NOT be accepted as an appropriate substitute for a letter from a professor. The third letter is of the applicant’s choice. This letter should NOT be from a personal reference, and one should avoid using clinicians that the applicant shadowed as a reference. Personal reference letters will receive zero points during quality reviews, diminishing the likelihood of being offered an interview. Special Consideration The following admission and enrollment practices are followed. • Franklin College students and graduates are at an advantage in the admission process. Any current Franklin College student or recent graduate (<5 years) that has met all the standards for admission AND has a CASPA calculated cumulative and BCP GPAs of 3.4 or above will be guaranteed to move onto the interview phase of the admissions process. • Such an applicant is still required to apply to Franklin College through the CASPA portal, similar to all applicants.

363 While an interview cannot be guaranteed, any Franklin College graduate that does not meet the above GPA requirement may still apply through CASPA and be considered for admission to the PA program. University of Indianapolis students are at an advantage in the admission process. Upon completion of their third year at the University of Indianapolis, students who have a CASPA calculated biology and chemistry (BC) GPA of 3.4 or above, have met all the up-to-date admission standards published on the Franklin College website and have completed an application through CASPA by September 1st will be guaranteed an interview. Applicants must have all prerequisite courses completed, in progress, or planned to be completed prior to January for matriculation of their agreed cohort. Courses in progress or outstanding must be documented on the Outstanding Courses Form. The program gives preference to applicants with higher cumulative and BCP GPAs, higher Junior/Senior/Grad GPA, more direct patient care hours, a higher quality of patient care hours, higher shadowing hours (and higher number of different specialties shadowed), higher quality personal statements, stronger professional references, and stronger mission outreach. Applicants who meet any of the following criteria will receive additional consideration in the admissions process for each criterion met. Students must declare their CASPA application, under the Franklin College section, that they wish to be considered. The applicant is a graduate of Franklin College. Applicant is from a medically underserved area in Indiana as designated by the Indiana State Department of Health. The applicant is themselves a current or former member of the US military.

Early Admission for Franklin College Undergraduate Students Franklin College undergraduate students may apply as early as their junior year to be considered for early admission. Candidates must have all prerequisite courses completed, in progress, or planned to be completed prior to January matriculation of their agreed upon cohort. Courses in progress or outstanding courses must be documented on the Outstanding Courses Form to be considered. The Franklin College undergraduate students must apply through CASPA. Juniors and seniors with a cumulative and BCP GPA of 3.4 or above will be guaranteed to move onto the interview phase of the admissions process. Students with a cumulative and BC GPA less than 3.4 will be evaluated for attributes outlined on the Admission Requirement website page before a decision is made regarding an invitation for an interview. Program orientation All graduate students will be required to attend a master’s program orientation prior to the start of Winter (January) courses. A detailed description of orientation events will be included with students’ acceptance letters. Graduation Requirements To successfully graduate from the PA Program, students must: (1) Complete the entire program within three and one-half (3.5) academic years; and (2) Successfully complete and pass all required courses, rotations, and program requirements with a grade of C or better and have a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.00. (3) Maintain professionalism. Academic Requirements Students must complete and pass all semester courses before they can progress to the next semester of the program. Successful completion of a course is defined as the ability to demonstrate competence in course content. Criteria for successful completion of each course are conveyed to the student via the course syllabus. Each student within the PA Program must maintain a minimum 3.0 (4.0 scale) cumulative GPA and semester GPA to maintain good standing in the program. For the purposes of determining academic standing, January term and spring

364 term are counted as one spring semester (term) during both the didactic and clinical years. Student progress in the program will be discussed continually by the program faculty at regularly scheduled faculty meetings and at the conclusion of each semester. If a student’s term OR cumulative GPA falls below the 3.0 (4.0 scale) minimum, he/she will be placed on academic probation. Students will have one semester to improve his/her term AND cumulative GPA to acceptable standards (minimum 3.0) or risk being dismissed from the MSPAS Program following an evaluation of student progress by the Program Director and the faculty and recommendation to the VPAA. • A grade of “C” or higher is required for all required courses within the MSPAS program. If a student receives a “F” or below in a course required by the program, the course must be repeated and the student is placed on academic probation. The student will be removed from probation when he/she has successfully repeated the course with a “C” or higher. The MSPAS graduate students will be allowed a maximum of two (2) opportunities to successfully pass each course or rotation. They will be permitted to repeat a failed course or rotation only as part of a detailed remediation plan. Failure to pass a course or rotation on the second opportunity will result in academic dismissal from the program. •

All courses within the MSPAS program are sequential and are prerequisites for subsequent semester courses. MSPAS didactic courses are only offered once a year so any course that must be repeated will result in deceleration of the student from the current cohort. During the clinical year, repeated courses may result in a delay in graduation. The MSPAS program faculty and staff make every effort to provide support and access to appropriate assistance to help all students restore good academic standing. Yet, it remains the student’s responsibility to see this support from the program.

•

Students may also be dismissed due to professionalism violation(s).

•

If a student is placed on probation a second time, either for low cumulative GPA or failure of a course, the student may be dismissed from the MSPAS Program and graduate studies. Concerns for a second probation will be a discussion with the academic committee, program director, and the Vice President for Academic Affairs (VPAA).
