THE UNIVERSITY OF RICHMOND
The University of Richmond is the second largest private university in the state of Virginia. It was founded by and is affiliated with the Baptists of Virginia. Long regarded as a strong institution, in 1969 the University was given the economic base on which to build a truly outstanding academic program. An alum nu s, E. Claiborne Robins , and his family gave the University $50 million , one of the largest s ingle private gifts to an institution of higher learning in this country. Since 1969 , major endowme nt campaigns have supplemented the Robins' gift so the University of Richmond is now among the 50 most heavily endowed institutions of higher education in the United States. These resources h ave allowed the University to invest substantially in new buildings, major renovations, and academic programs. Financial strength, people, and commitment to excellence make the University of Richmond an exc iting place to study and work.
Several colleges and schools constitute the University. Richmond College, a college of liberal arts and sciences for men, was founded in 1830. Around this nucleus were established The T. C. Williams School of Law ( 1870) ; Westhampton College, a college of Ii beral arts and sciences for women (19 14); the Graduate School, for advanced study in the liberal arts and sciences (1921); The E. Claiborne Robins School of Business (1949); and University College, for evening, summer, and continuing education ( 1962). These divisions enroll about 3,200 full-time undergraduates, 500 full-time graduate and law students, and 1,500 part-time students for a combined enrollment of about 4,700.
Each college has its own dean or director, student body, and institutional life. The University Senate, on which sit representatives of all the faculties, provides for intercollegiate cooperation.
The legal name of the corporation is University of Richmond. Ultimate authority is vested in the Board of Trustees and the President of the University. The Board of Trustees
controls all endowment and other funds and makes all appropriations. The several colleges award no degrees, but all degrees for work done in any one of the colleges are conferred by the University of Richmond.
Purpose of the University
The University of Richmond is an independent, privately-endowed institution of higher education that provides a comprehensive academic program for men and women. It offers the intimacy of a small university and the diverse educational opportunities that derive from undergraduate degree programs in the liberal arts and sciences and in business, as well as graduate and professional programs in law, business, and selected areas of the arts and sciences. The University also provides a variety of credit and continuing education programs to the larger community. Related to the Baptist General Association of Virginia, the University affirms its commitment to serve individuals of all faiths and persuasions , without regard to race, sex, age, physical handicap or national origin.

The Undergraduate Colleges
Though the University is composed of six colleges and schools , this bulletin provides detailed information about only Richmond College , Westhampton College , and The E . Claiborne Robins School of Business . Detailed information about each of
The University
the other divisions is available upon request to the respective dean's office. The three schools described here enroll essentially all of the University's full-time undergraduate students and exemplify the philosophy of coordinate education.
Coordinate education at the University of Richmond provides for identifiable student bodies and separate administrative bodies of schools , yet offers the instructional and social benefits of a large and more diverse student population. Richmond College enrolls about 1,200 men and Westhampton College enrolls a similar number of women. Each school has its own dean, student government, and activities, but the schools also work together where there are mutual concerns.
In the educational program , the students of Richmond College and Westhampton College are brought together in a coeducational setting. These students pursue the degree programs and receive instruction under the Faculty of Arts and Sciences. For this body of students, the Faculty of Arts and Sciences offers the Bachelor of Arts and the Bachelor of Science degrees in a wide range of subjects in the liberal arts and sciences. The Bachelor of Music degree is offered for those who wish to pursue intensive study in music. This faculty also provides the degree programs and instruction for students in the Graduate School.
While the students come from smaller individual colleges in the University, their educational opportunities are quite broad.
The E. Claiborne Robins School of Business is a senior college which enrolls about 370 men and women at the junior- and senior-class level. The school's principal objective is to provide a professional college education that will enable qualified students to meet the challenges of a complex business world. The degree of Bachelor of Science in Business Administration is offered with majors in accounting or business administration. The business administration major has several areas of emphasis which students may pursue.
As a senior college the School of Business requires that students be prepared in the liberal arts and sciences , and be admitted to the Business School. Once admitted, this school also has its own student government and internal activities in which students can participate.
The School of Business faculty also provides degree programs and instruction to the students of The Richard S. Reynolds Graduate School of The E. Claiborne Robins School of Business. Thus, in the School of Business the University maintains the unique benefits of more intimate programs while providing extensive educational depth.

port the Honor System. No st udent will be allowed to complete the matriculation process until the card is received .
Westhampton College Honor System
The Westhampton College Honor Council sponsors " Proclamation Night," a ceremony which formally introduces each Westhampton College student to the Honor Code and at which each student is required to sign the Honor Code. Prior to the signing ceremony, each student is given information about the Honor System and is instructed in its meaning and operation. Each student is required to take a test to demonstrate knowledge of the Honor Code and College policies. No student's matriculation is complete until the test is passed and the Honor Code signed.
Standards of Conduct
The University of Richmond considers cultivation of self-discipline and resolution of issues through processes of reason to be of primary importance in the educational process and essential to the development of responsible citizens All members of the University community are expected to conduct themselves, both within the University and elsewhere, in such a manner as to be a credit to themselves and to the University of Richmond. Moreover , they have a responsibility for complying with local , state, and federal laws, and with all published University policies and regulations. In a community of learning, individual or group conduct that is unlawful, that disrupts or interferes with the educational processes , that causes destruction of property, or otherwise infringes upon the rights of others or of the University itself , cannot be tolerated
The Trustees of the University of Richmond have authorized a Policy Statement on Standards of Conduct, Penalties , and Disciplinary Procedures to guide the conduct of students and their guests. This statement sets forth those standards of conduct which the University of Richmond deems essential for fulfilling its educational mission. Any person who violates the standards of conduct and
regulations of the University of Richmond shall be subject to disciplinary action and, if need be, legal action. Disciplinary action may range from reprimand/disciplinary warning up to and including dismissal or expulsion from the University. Penalties will be imposed after proper determination has been made in accordance with established disciplinary procedures of the University, with fair procedures observed and with appropriate appeal procedures available, as outlined in the Polic y Statement and any approved revisions thereof.
A copy of this Policy Statement and/or any officially approved revisions thereof is readily available to each s tudent who matriculates All members of the University community should familiarize themselves with this Poli cy Statement and revisions, and with any other official publications, handbooks, or announcements issued from time to time by the University of Richmond or by individual colleges and schools of the University.

In fulfilling that obligation, the University subscribes to the principle of providing every member of the University community with the maximum practicable degree of privacy Any examination of possessions on campu s or entry of campus living quarters , offices , or lockers shall be in accordance with the law and University policy.
Similarly, in regard to student academic and personnel records, the University observes the procedures and requirements of The Family Educational Rights and Privac y Act of 1974 (P.L. 93-380) as amended. Thi s act generally prohibits the unauthorized release of confidential information about individual students; however, directory information may usually be released. Further information concerning this act is available from the Registrar 's Office.
Student Life/Housing
Alcoholic Beverages and Other Drugs
Perso ns affiliated with the University should recognize that the legal age for the co nsumption of beverage alcohol is 21 in the Commo nwealth of Virginia ; the law governs a ll persons within the Commonwealth including temporary visitors from other places . The Unive rsity supports the laws of the Commonwealth, and has policies to educate and regulate its campus constituencies regarding the co nsumption of alcohol. Similarly, there are statutes as well as University policie s prohibit ing the pos sess ion , distribution , sale, or u se of illegal drugs or narcotics, including marijua na and the hallucinogens. Moreover, each perso n is responsible for his or her destructive, obstructive, or otherwise inappropriate behavior whether under the influence of a ny s ubstance or not. It is to be clearly understood that persons in violation of the law are subject, as warranted , to prosecution by law enfo rcement agencies as well as discipl inary proceedings by the University.
Motorized Vehicles
Eac h automobile, motorcycle, motorbike , or other such motorized vehicle operated on the campus must be promptly registered with the Univers ity, and the Campus Automobile Permit Fee paid. Individuals operating vehicles must abide by the regulations governing registration, use , and parking. The Universi ty Police Department administers the reg istration and monitors compliance. Inqu iries should be directed to that office.
Living Accommodations
For the information of those who wish to live on campus, it should be understood that the residence and food service departments are co nducted as a unit. Except for the townhouse apartments, residential campus privileges are provided only on the basis of an inclusive charge for room and board which will vary according to the location of the room and the meal plan selected. Meal plans are separately available for students living off ca mpus.
Housing
On-campus housing for all undergraduate women is arranged by the Housing Coordinator of Westhampton College; arrangements for all undergraduate men are made by the Hou s ing Coordinator of Richmond College. Inquiries , reservations, or other correspondence regarding housing should be addressed to the appropriate housing coordinator.
The University attempts to provide oncampus housing for all full-time students who desire to be acc ommodated. However, no student is required to live on campus and some choose to reside off campus in private homes or apartments. The University does not have married- student housing .
There are five residence halls for women on the Westh a mpton College campus. For men , the Richmond College campus has eight residence halls . In addition, townhouse apartments located on the Westhampton campus accommodate upper-level students from all undergraduate divisions Though the two campuses are separated by Westhampton Lake , any residence is only a few minutes from another, and only a few minutes away from the Heilman Dining Center.
Residence hall rooms house two students , but there are a few rooms available which house one, three , or four persons respectively. (One-person rooms are not available for freshmen.) Most residence halls have lounges and laundry areas.
General supervision of the residence halls is provided by professional-staff who are ass isted by specially trained upperclass students. There is a resident manager for the townhouses University policy is the framework under which all campus residences are governed.
Room reservation procedures are made available at appropriate times during the school year. In general, continuing students request rooms and roommates according to the procedures established by each college. Incoming students complete a question-
naire. Using expressed life-style, mutual interests, and other criteria, rooms and roommates are assigned.
General Conditions
The University Housing Contract sets forth the specific terms and regulations applicable to residence hall rentals. Each student approved for housing receives a contract in conjunction with the room reservation procedures.
The University supplies each student's room with bed, desk, chair, and chest of drawers. Each student furnishes bed linen , pillow, bedspread, blankets, towels , and curtains. Students are responsible for all laundry. Mailboxes are provided at central locations.
Due to fire regulations and other considerations the following items are not to be installed nor kept in residence hall rooms or apartments: paneling, lofts, overstuffed furniture, or couches of any material. (Only University-owned couches may be used in the townhouse apartments.)
To avoid electrical overloading, students are expected to limit the number of lamps and appliances in their residence hall rooms. Small, portable television sets are permitted as are smal I refrigerators provided the size does not exceed approximately 18" x 18" x 18".
The charge for room includes the cost of all utilities except the telephone which, at the student's option, can be contracted separately with the local telephone company. The room charge also covers medical attention by the University physician and registered nurses , but does not cover cost of medicines, expenses at a hospital, the services of any additional physician or nurse , or personal laundry.
A student's guest of the same sex may remain overnight in the residence hall. The student should notify his or her Resident Assistant of the arrangement.
The University is not liable for a student's personal property. The student or parents should verify that their homeowner's insurance will cover personal property while on campus.
Food Service
The main food center at the University of Richmond is the spacious E. Bruce Heilman Dining Center. This well-equipped building is located on a particularly attractive site overlooking Westhampton Lake . The main dining area accommodates 2,200 students; a lower level is used as a catering area for University functions and for the University Faculty Club. In addition to the central dining hall , there is a "fast-food " snack bar in the Tyler Haynes Commons. The units of the townhouse apartments have kitchens for the use of their residents.
Meal Plans
All students living on campus, except those residing in the townhouse apartments , must participate in a meal plan . Details of the meal plans follow.
Freshmen and Sophomores - Required
19-Meal Plan - Includes three meals per day Monday through Friday ; Saturday and Sunday service is brunch and dinner. (Automatically included with the residence hall assignment.)
Juniors and Seniors-Options
If an option is not elected, the 19-meal plan is assigned.
14-Meal Plan-Any 14 meals per week under the 19-Meal Plan schedule
10-Meal Plan -Any 10 meals per week under the 19-Meal Plan schedule
5-Meal Plan-Any 5 meals per week under the 19-Meal Plan schedule
5-Meal Plan is only for students living off campus or in University Forest Apartments.
Conditions
Meals under all meal plans are served during the days and times stated in the calendar for Richmond College, Westhampton
Co llege, and the undergraduate division of the School of Business
The ID /Mea l Card is nontransferable.
The meal plan initially assigned is the permanent meal pl a n unless the student is eligi ble for an optional plan and elects to make a change.
Students with at lea st junior standing, residents of the townhouse apartments, students livin g off campus, and law and graduate students may contract with the University for any of the above meal plans. The status will be verified by University records.
A student who is eligible to elect an optional meal plan may make one change per semes ter during the two-week Add/Drop period. To initiate a change, the student is to take the ID/Meal Card to the Office of Student Accounts and per so nally elect another plan. In coordination with Food Services, costs will be adjusted at this time. Payment for an increase in cost is due at the time of the change; refund will be by check according to University procedures for issuing s uch drafts .
The meal plan the student elects, as above, becomes the permanent meal plan for billing and other purposes. The student may elect to change the plan in a subsequent semester by again following the stated procedure.
Inquiries concerning food and the dining hall service should be directed to the Food Services Office. The University Payments Office is responsible for billing matters.
Activities
Because cocurricular act1v1t1es are an important part of the campus experience, a broad range of events and opportunities to challenge the student's interest are provided. The University has opportunities for leadership and community service as well as for cultural, recreational , social, and spiritual interests There are weekly events of bands , comedians, single artists , disc jockeys, and the Tucker-Boatwright Festi-
Student Life/ Activities
val which brings to campus outstanding figures in the literary and artistic world. These activities combined with academic pursuits contribute to the formation of the well-rounded individual.
Organizations
There are approximately 125 recognized student organizations, groups, and clubs. The list of organizations varies reflecting changes in student interest.
Academically oriented groups and chapters of national honor societies comprise about a quarter of the student organizations. These organizations, such as Phi Beta Kappa for students in the arts and sciences and Beta Gamma Sigma for business students, recognize exceptional academic achievement. Other organizations provide opportunities in academic disciplines for study, research , or practice beyond the classroom. Each serves to unite students who have a common academic interest.
There are organizations which represent the University in the community. These include the student newspaper and other publications, theater productions, performing music ensembles, and the student-operated radio station.
Religious organizations are an important part of the University scene. They present a variety of opportunities for fellowship, study, and/or social service in denominational , nondenominational , and interdenominational settings.
The Greek social system comprises approximately half of the full-time undergraduate student body There are eleven organizations for men and six for women; all are nationally recognized. The men have their own lodges for social and recreational purposes while the women use existing campus facilities. However , Greek system members live in the campus residence halls and eat in the central dining hall. In addition to their social activities , these organizations have historically organized and supported community service projects.
Student Life/Activities
Special interest organizations are yet another way for a student to gather with others who have a similar interest. In this context an individual might want to learn or sharpen skills in, for example, skiing. If there is no club to meet the common interest of several students, there are procedures to guide the formation of one.
Recreation and Athletics
The campus recreation program is designed to allow students, faculty, and staff to develop and participate in a self-paced and directed recreation and exercise program. Participants have the opportunity to take part in a wide variety of intramural sports involving men's, women's, and co-recreational divisions at varying competitive levels. Over twenty individual and team sports including women's soccer and men's lacrosse are available for those interested.
In intercollegiate athletics, the University of Richmond is a member of the National Collegiate Athletic Association-Division I. The University fields men's teams in nine sports, including Division I-AA football in the Yankee Conference and Division I basketball in the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA). Other men's sports in the CAA are baseball, cross country, golf, soccer,
swimming , and tennis. The men's water polo team competes in the Southern Water Polo League. Women ' s intercollegiate athletic teams compete in the CAA in basketball, cross country, swimming, and tennis. Field hockey and lacrosse teams compete in the South Atlantic Field Hockey and Lacrosse Conference. The women ' s synchronized swimming team competes under the auspices of the United States Synchronized Swimming Association.
Student Government
To as great an extent as possible the University places the governance of students in the hands of students. Each undergraduate college has its own democratically chosen student government association which responds to the needs and interests of its specific students . In addition , student representatives are chosen to sit and vote on certain faculty committees and committees of the Board of Trustees.
Each college has its own honor council and its own judicial council, or a combination, composed entirely of students. Generally, violations of the University Honor Statute or of the student standards of conduct are judged and, if appropriate , penalties are determined by the pertinent council.

Financial Affairs/Payments
Payments
Inquiries concerning payments should be directed to the University Payments Office, phone (804) 289-8146.
Fees are billed , and are payable in advance by the semester-the fall semester payment is due by the first Monday in August and the spring semester payment is due by the first Monday in December. To avoid incurring a late-payment fee and delays in housing, registration , and other areas, individuals are urged to pay fees when due
Satisfactory financial arrangements for Room and Board must be made before occupancy.
No credit is given for a term 's work nor degree conferred until all charges have been satisfactorily settled. Failure to make satisfactory financial arrangements can result in delay of graduation, denial of registration privileges , removal from classes, and/or the withholding of transcripts.
Remittance may be made by check drawn to University of Richmond , and addressed to: University of Richmond Post Office Box 26741 Richmond , Va. 2326/-6741
Deposits
Upon acceptance for admission at the University of Richmond, a $250 General Fee deposit is required , and a $250 housing deposit is required if on-campus housing is requested
Students planning to continue in the upcoming school year are notified around February I to remit the appropriate deposits: a General Fee deposit of $125, and if on-campus housing is requested , a housing deposit of $125. These deposits are payable by the mid-March date specified in the notice.
Deposits are treated as advance payments which normally are credited to the student's account in the appropriate category. While a single remittance may cover
both amounts, the distinction between the two deposits remains quite clear. The General Fee deposit s ig nifie s an int e ntion to attend or to continue to attend the University. The housing deposit s ignifie s an earnest request for on-campus housin g.
The University always credits the General Fee deposit first. If only a s ingl e deposit amount is received by the sta ted deadline, rega rdl ess of any accompanying instructions , the deposit will be placed in the General Fee category and the presumption m ade that no housing is requested.
Deferred Payments
The University does not offer a deferred payment plan , and all accounts must be paid in full each semester as indicated earlier in this section. However , in recognition of the substantial interest in deferred payment s, the University ha s arranged to make available the services of The Tuition Plan , Inc., and Knight In s urance Company. These firms represent one of several sound alternatives for financing a student's education.
Many parents a nd students m ay prefer to arrange financing through their local banks or other so urces ; but if there is interest in The Tuition Plan, Inc. or Knight In s urance Company, further information is ava ilabl e upon request from the University's Office of Student Accounts.
Students are urged to complete whatever arrangements they choose early, so that their accounts with the University may be settled in a timely manner.
Late Payment Fee
A late payment fee of $50 must be paid by: (Fee is $25 if account balance is under $500.)
Each student who fails to make sa tisfactory arrangements for the first-semester fees by the close of business on the first day of fall classes.
Each student who fails to make satisfactory arrangements for the second-semester fees by the close of business on the first day of spring classes.

Financial Aid
Many students are finding it increasingly difficult to finance a college education without some assistance. The financial aid program exists to help those students who have strong academic potential and limited resources so that they can pursue their educational goals.
At the University of Richmond, the financial aid program is oriented both toward need and toward merit. The purpose of need-based aid is to provide financial assistance to able students who, without such aid, would be unable to attend the University. Merit-based awards are one method the University uses to recognize and support noteworthy academic achievement. Also, individuals talented in , for example, athletics or music may be recognized by these awards
Depending on the circumstances, a student may be eligible for both types of support since the receipt of one form of aid does not, in itself, preclude the receipt of another form of aid. When deciding awards , the University of Richmond, as an institutional policy, does not discriminate in regard to race, color, sex, religion, age, handicap, or national origin. The University does observe lawful criteria specified for a given program or award .
Normally, financial awards are granted for the full academic year; however, certain awards may have different specifications. In all cases, the University reserves the right to discontinue at any time awards of students who fail to meet the requirements for academic progress, registration status , individual program requirements, or any other failure to comply with pertinent stipulations, policies , or procedures.
Administration of Financial Aid
Financial aid programs for the University are administered by the Office of Student Financial Aid which is located on the first floor of the Special Programs Building. The telephone number is (804) 289-8438. The staff of the Financial Aid Office is available to
provide information about any of the various financial programs and to assist students with the financial aid application process. Appointments are encouraged so that adequate time can be scheduled to review and provide information about all of a student's financial concerns.
Generally, individuals seeking needbased aid will indicate their needs during the admission process. As a part of this process, and in an effort to assure fair and equitable distribution of the limited financial aid resources , submission of the Financial Aid Form (FAF) is required. The FAF must be filed with the College Scholarship Service no later than February 1 to ensure its arrival at the University by the March 15 deadline.
The determination of the amount to be awarded in answer to a need-based request for aid rests on the nationally recognized philosophy that the family is the primary and responsible resource for meeting educational costs ; student financial aid is made available to supplement family resources. The extent of funds avai Iable for support from federal , state , and institutional sources is necessarily a companion factor in the determination of the award.
Merit-based awards usually proceed from a different point since these awards most often involve an invitation or nomination. Nevertheless, individuals are welcome to bring their talents and achievements to the attention of either the Admissions Office or the Financial Aid Office. Appropriate information and direction will be given.
In all cases , it is the intention of the University to make the notification of financial aid before the deadline for acceptance of the offer of admission.
It should be understood that initial application for financial aid is not limited to the admissions procedure; continuing students are welcome to make application. On the other hand , continuing students who are receiving aid and who wish to continue
receiving the aid for the next school year must reapply.
Types and Sources of Financial Aid
General information is presented under the following headings to give a broad overview of the types and sources of financia l aid. On the following two pages there i s an extensive table which gives more detailed information about so me of th e more common sources of financial aid. Further information is available on request from the Office of Student Financial Aid.
Grants-The federal and state governments provide funds for some, the University for others. Most grants are awarded b ased on financial need . Some grant funds are available to award for talents and skills
in areas such as athletics, music, theater, foreign languages , and other areas.
Loans-Low-interest educational loans are available through the institution, private lenders, and private agencies. Most of these programs have special interest rates and/or special repayment provisions.
Student Employment-On-campus and off-campus work opportunities are available to students. The need-based federal College Work-Study Program is an important source of funds for award to financial aid applicants. In addition, there is a University Work Program for on-campus positions and an active Office of Career Planning and Placement directing students who wish part-time , offcampus jobs.

Succ essful candidates for admission who have taken Advanced Placement tests may have the test results evaluated for college credit. A student who receives a score of four or five on an Advanced Placement test recognized by the appropriate academic department at the University will automatically receive academic credit which may be applied toward curriculum requirements. An examination receiving a score of less than
four may justify credit, certain exemptions , or placement , depending on the department concerned and, usually , a review of the examination booklet. Detailed information on current University policies relating to the Advanced Placement program is avai lable from the University Registrar.
CLEP
The University of Richmond awards credit for an acceptable performance on a College Level Examination Program (CLEP) test recognized by the University academic department concerned. Generally a student may not attempt credit by examination for a course in which a failing grade was received , or for a basic course in an area in which acceptable college credit has been earned at a more advanced level.
Arrangements to take CLEP tests may be made with the University ' s Counseling and Psychological Services office. Information on current University policies relating to CLEP may be obtained from the Registrar.
Credit By Local Examination
Information on courses for which credit by local examination may be earned is available in the Office of the University Registrar. Students should check there for examination dates, fees , and related regulations.
Transfer Credit
Credit in transfer may be accepted only for courses which are comparable to courses offered at the University of Richmond Moreover , the coursework mu s t have been taken at an accredited institution or institutions, and a grade or equivalent of C- (1.7) or better must have been earned. Coursework accepted in transfer shall be applied to specific degree requirements subject to the discretion of the academic department concerned .
No transfer credit shall be formally accepted or recorded until the Univer s ity has
Academic Procedures/Registration
received an official transcript directly from the records office of the institution which offered the coursework. If coursework is being transferred from more than one institution, a transcript must be received from each.
Advanced Credit for Veterans
In accordance with the recommendations of the American Council on Education, the following advanced credit will be allowed veterans:
1. The veteran who has served at least six months on active duty , but less than one year, shall receive credit for 1 semester hour of 200-level coursework in Sport Science and 2 semester hours in Military Science.
2. The veteran who has served one year on active duty shall receive credit for 2 semester hours of 200-level coursework in Sport Science and 2 semester hours in Military Science .
3. The veteran who has served more than one year on active duty shall receive credit for I semester hour of Sport Science 130, 3 semester hours of 200level coursework in Sport Science , and 4 semester hours in Military Science.
4. A veteran may receive additional credit for specialized training courses and for correspondence courses taken from accredited colleges under the auspices of the U.S. Armed Forces Institute. A veteran desiring such credit should present the record of training to the Registrar either on the transcript form of the college in which the work was taken, or on the form prepared for such purposes by the U.S. Armed Forces Institute. In cases of question , the appropriate Academic Council will determine the amount of credit to be granted in each case.
5. In allowing further advanced credit for educational experience in the armed services, the University is guided largely by recommendations of the American Council on Education.
Registration Policies
Registration is limited to degree-seeking admitted students unless specific approval is granted for Special status.
Registration
Students shall register by following the policies stated in the Schedule of Classes, which is published each semester by the Registrar.
Note: A student is not fully registered for any term until satisfactory arrangements have been made for that term's fees.
Late registrations may be accepted subject to the policies for adding classes , as indicated in the section below entitled "Change of Registration ." A special fee is required.
Prerequisites
Before beginning a course, a student is expected to have fulfilled the stated course prerequisites, if any. A student who does not have the prerequisites may be denied registration or disenrolled from the course.
Limits of Work
A student normally enrolls for 15 or 16 semester hours of work a week. The minimum load for a full-time student is 12 semester hours.
No student may enroll for more than 19 hours nor fewer than 12 hours of work without the permission of the dean of his or her college or school. Enrollments in either category are subject to special charges a s specified in the chapter entitled FINANCIAL AFFAIRS.
Students enrolled for fewer than 12 hours are classified as Part-time and are not entitled to athletic ticket books or student publications.
Change of Registration
Courses may be added or dropped withou t academic record du1ing the first IO days of classes in a semester. The details concernin g
this extension of registration are published for each semester in The Schedule of Classes.
After the end of the first IO days of c lasses , but before the end of the seventh week , students may withdraw from courses p rovided that they receive the permission of the appropriate course instructor , faculty a dvisor , and dean. Students will be required to pay the fee for change in class and will re ceive an M if failing at the time of withdrawal , or a W if passing at the time of withdrawal. Ordinarily, a student may not w ithdraw from a course with a passing grade after the end of the seventh week of c lasses except for medical reasons. The student's dean may, under special circumstances , make an exception to this policy.
Auditing Courses
With the approval of the student's faculty advisor and the instructor of the course, a st udent may register for a course on an a udit basis. The regular rate of tuition is c harged, and the audit course is counted as a part of the student ' s semester load. A permi s sion form must be obtained from and returned with appropriate signatures to the Re gistrar's Office by the end of the tenth da y of classes. Once the form is submitted to the Registrar, status in the course may not be changed. An audited course cannot subsequently be taken for credit unless app roved by the appropriate dean .
Pass/Fail Option
R ic hmond and Westhampton Colle g es
A student who has completed at least 60 se mester hours of academic work may opt fo r one course per semester to be graded on a Pass/Fail basis. The course may not be us ed to satisfy any degree requirement o ther than total hours of credit and , if taken in the major or minor, may not be used to satisfy requirements for either. No School of Business courses may be opted for Pass/Fail grading except those in the Department of Economics. No more than four studentopted Pass/Fail courses are acceptable for degree credit.
Academic Procedures/Registration
Note: The restrictions stated above do not generally apply to courses authorized to be graded only Pass/Fail.
The level of performance necessary to earn a Pass in a student-opted Pass/Fail course is D- or better. A Pass grade will be recorded as P on the permanent record. The hours will be added into hours earned toward graduation and will not affect the grade point average. A Fail grade will be recorded as F on the permanent record. The hours will be added into hours attempted and will affect the grade point average.
To opt for Pass/Fail grading , a permission form must be obtained from and returned with appropriate signatures to the Registrar's Office by the end of the tenth day of classes. Once the form is submitted to the Registrar, the decision may not be reversed.
Repeated Courses
Coursework may not be repeated for credit toward graduation except as sanctioned by the University ; however , particular coursework may meet more than one requirement for graduation. An example of a sanctioned repeat-for-credit is the subsequent registration for a course in which the content changes from term to term such as Special Topics or Independent Studies. Also, certain courses in a major or program may have to be repeated if the grade earned the first time does not meet requirements; however, the credit will be counted only once.
Courses taken as Audit cannot be repeated for credit unless the student ' s dean approves.
Except in clear situations, the Registrar's Office should be consulted before registration to learn if a proposed repeat is sanctioned for credit or if sanction is possible.
All courses taken at the University of Richmond become a part of the permanent academic record. The grade for a course repeated at the University of Richmond becomes a part of the grade point average if the grade otherwise would be included in the computation .
Academic Procedures/Course Administration
Course Administration
Class Attendance
Each student is expected to attend all meetings of all classes and laboratory periods in the courses in which he or she is enrolled However, the specific attendance policy in each course of study is to be determined by the instructor in the course. The specific attendance policy for each course will be announced and distributed to the students at the beginning of the course. Faculty members should honor an official request from the appropriate dean to excuse a student for participation in a Universitysponsored event, such as choral performances off campus, intercollegiate athletic events, judicial hearings at which the student must be present , etc.
A st udent may be held responsible for the work of a class or laboratory mis sed during an absence. Acceptance of any excuse for an absence, and any provision for make-up , will be at the discretion of the instructor (consistent with the announced policy for the course). Missed classes, work, or tests may result in a poorer grade, or failure, in the course. Students enrolled in School of Business courses must attend at least 75 percent of the meetings of a course to be eligible to receive credit in the course.
Examinations
Most classes have examinations at the close of each term , according to a published schedule.
Each student is responsible to take final examinations as scheduled. No rescheduling, excuse for absence, and/or provision for making up final examinations will occur without the written approval of the student's dean. Such approval shall be made only for illness certified by a physician, participation in authorized University activities, and/or personal emergencies such as death in the family.
Appeals of the rulings associated with the administration of these regulations shall
be directed to the student's dean and, if necessary, through that dean to the academic council of the faculty concerned.
Evaluation
Instructors establish grading criteria for their courses, and prepare and submit the final course reports (using the grades defined under "Gra ding Policies ") to the Registrar for recording. In the event of a question about the accuracy of the recorded grade, a student should direct inquiries to the instructor and/or the Registrar
It is recognized that each class and each student in a class has unique characteristics that the instructor alone is in the best position to evaluate; consequently, except in unusual circumstances, formal appeals to others concerning the evaluation on which a grade is based are not appropriate. If unusual circumstances appear to have existed which could have affected the evaluation , the student should first bring the matter to the attention of the instructor (if available). If that informal inquiry is impossible , or if its results are disputed , the s tudent may next bring the matter to the attention of the departmental chair and the instructor , jointly. In the event of continued dispute, the student may formally petition the dean of the student 's college who, in consultation with the appropriate dean of faculty and departmental faculty, may present the matter to the academic council for a decision.
Grading Policies
The level of students' performance in classwork and examinations is indicated by letters. A (excellent), B (good), C (average) , and D (poor) indicate that the work has been passed The foregoing grades may be accompanied by a plus(+) or minus(-) to indicate a relative position within the grade category. P shows credit has been earned in a Pass/Fai l course, and Z shows that a course wa s audited. S and U indicate satisfactory or unsatisfactory performance in non-academic courses or in a Pass/No-credit course. W indicates that the student withdrew from a
co urse with a passing average. Marks indicat ing failure and are included as such in the gra de point average are F, M (withdrew from a course with a failing average), and V (fa ilure because of excessive absences). The X indicates that the grade has not been receive d from the instructor.
/ and Y mean that coursework has not bee n completed by the end of the term. The /, which provisionally counts as a failing grade, is given when the reasons for incom plete work are deemed unjustifiable by the instructor. The work is to be made up by the date the instructor specifies, but no later than 45 calendar days from the last class day of the term in which the/ was given. If the work is not made up during the grace period, the/ will be converted to F. The Y, whic h doe s not count as a failing grade, is give n when the reasons for incomplete work are deemed justifiable by the instructor, or at the end of the first term of a course that continues into a succeeding term. There is no deadline for completion of the wor k unless the instructor so specifies. In a ll cases, it is the student's responsibility to make arrangements for and progress to the comp letion of an incomplete course.
Credit and Grade Point Average
The University of Richmond use s the semester hour value. A semester hour is the va lue of one 50 minute class-hour of work a week through a nominal 14-week semester.
The grade point average is based on two facto rs:
Semes ter Hours Attempted-The accumulation of academic semester hours that have gra des to which grade point values are assig ned; and
Grade P oin ts-Given for each semester hour's grade according to this scale:
grade points earned by the total number of semester hours attempted.
The accumulations and average are shown each term on the permanent academic record and on the student grade report. Also shown on these reports is Semester Hours Passed which is the accumulation of academic semester hours in which the student has earned passing grades, plus semester hours credit, if any, for accepted transfer work.
Academic Reports
Reports of the student's progress are prepared each term in the form of the permanent academic record and the student grade report. The information included is the record of the student's registration and grades, with such other information as may be deemed important.
All courses taken at the University of Richmond become a part of the permanent academic record.
Calculation-The grade point average is calculated by dividing the total number of
Work Taken Elsewhere
This section pertains to students who wish to take academic work elsewhere while actively pursuing a degree at the University of Richmond. (Individuals admitted as transfer students please see the "Advanced Standing" section above.)
Study in the United States
The student is to obtain the approval of each departmental chair concerned and the student's dean before taking work elsewhere. The approvals ensure that the work is acceptable to the University , its departmental standards, and the student's curriculum. The Registrar's Office provides the special form for the purpose , and also will answer questions about the procedure.
Richmond and Westhampton Colleges
While students are expected to get approval before taking work elsewhere , work taken without prior approval may be accepted subject to transfer credit policies.
School of Business
Credit will be allowed provided that the approvals specified above are obtained in writing prior to taking the course or courses; the work is in the core and/or business elective categories; and the institution offering the work is accredited by the American Assembly of Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB).
Study Abroad
All study abroad programs are coordinated by the Office of International Education. This coordination includes University of Richmond-sponsored programs as well as any other plan a student might have for foreign study. Students wishing to study abroad are expected to contact the Office of International Education for information about various opportunities and to get particular information about procedures which must be followed. The procedures ensure that the work abroad will be acceptable in the University of Richmond curriculum, and that the student will be maintained as " current" with the University while abroad
Acceptance of Credit
University of Richmond-Sponsored
Programs
Coursework taken under a University of Richmond-sponsored program, for academic record, progress , and grade point average purposes , is treated as if the work were done on campus. Additional statements may be included on the record for descriptive purposes.
Other Programs
Credit will be awarded only for coursework in which a grade or equivalent of CCl .7) or better has been earned. Credit for C- (1.7) coursework is subject to approval by the Registrar and/or the academic department concerned.

Academic Procedures/Second Degree
The Second Undergraduate Degree
A student may earn more than one undergraduate degree either consecutively or concurrently in relation to another undergraduate degree provided the degrees are not alike, e.g., not two B.A. 's or two B.S. 's. In the arts and sciences , the major of the second degree must be in a different division. (Division refers to those listed under the Bachelor of Arts degree requirement: Distributional Requirements II. F., General Distribution.)
The following policies apply to any student seeking a second undergraduate degree .
The Consecutive Bachelor's Degree
A consecutive bachelor's degree is one which is begun after a first degree has been conferred or after the degree requirements for the first degree have been recorded as completed on the student's permanent academic record.
A student who wishes to pursue the second bachelor's degree consecutively shall apply to the dean of the college concerned. The dean shall make a decision for admission based on the quality of prior work, the favorable recommendation of the intended major department, and space availability . Once admitted, the student's grade point average shall be based only on the work taken at the University of Richmond while pursuing the second degree. The student's dean may limit or deny further registration if the quality of the student's work indicates that at least a 2.000 average will not have been achieved by the time the student has attempted 30 semester hours. A student admitted for a consecutive degree shall be considered a member of the senior class for registration purposes.
To earn a consecutive bachelor's degree a student must achieve at least a 2.000 grade point average on a minimum of 30 additional semester hours of resident academic coursework selected from the catalog of courses. Courses in which a student-
Academic Procedures/Second Degree
opted Pass is earned shall not count in the 30 hours. In addition, proficiency and distributional requirements appropriate to the degree being sought, as well as requirements for the major, must be met satisfactorily. Work taken for the preceding degree may be considered as transfer credit for the purpose of meeting these requirements; however, at least half of the major must be taken at the University of Richmond.
A student who completes the requirements for the consecutive degree is ineligible for Latin honors, and will not be assigned a graduating class rank.
The Concurrent Bachelor's Degree
A concurrent bachelor's degree is one which is pursued at the same time as another bachelor's degree.
A student who wishes to pursue a bachelor's degree concurrently shall notify the dean of his or her college promptly after the decision is reached. A student in the School of Business who desires a second undergraduate degree in the arts and sciences must receive the approval of the Richmond College (men) or Westhampton College
(women) dean, as well as the sanction of the dean of the School of Business. Even when approved for the second degree, such student remains a member of the School of Business for academic, administrative, and extracurricular purposes.
When two degrees are being sought concurrently , the grade point average computation and all academic policies are administered on the basis of the then-accumu lated work for both degrees.
To earn a concurrent bachelor ' s degree a student must complete satisfactorily at least 150 semester hours of academic work (if one of the degrees is the Bachelor of Music, the total must be 156 academic hours) with at least 90 of the hours taken at the University of Richmond. In addition , the proficiency and distributional requirements appropriate to each degree being sought, as well as requirements for the majors, must be completed satisfactorily. At the proper time, two degree applications must be submitted simultaneously to the Registrar.
Latin honors, if earned, will be shown on both degrees.

A student may complete satisfactorily four semesters of 200-level interdisciplinary studies courses instead of completing the distributional requirements set forth in Section II.A. through D. above.
IV. Requirements for the Major
The major is a field of academic study chosen as an area of specialization. A major consists of at least 24 semester hours and not more than 48 semester hours. Except for programs intended to be interdisciplinary, the major shall include at least 24 semester hours taken in an academic (major) department ; however, a student may not be required to take more than 32 semester hours above the 100 level in that department. (Students may elect to take additional hours in the major department provided the requirement of II. F. above is observed.) The major department may also specify related coursework to complete the major.
A student may concurrently fulfill the requirements of more than one major. To initiate more than one major, the student should declare the majors in the manner currently provided. Upon graduation, only one degree will be conferred, but each completed major will be recorded on the student's permanent academic record, pro-
vided the student has listed the major on the degree application form and is certified to have completed all of the requirement s specified for the given major.
If a student's majors and other coursework can be arranged to meet the requirements for either the Bachelor of Arts degree or the Bachelor of Science degree, no more than one degree has been earned ; however , the student must specify which degree is desired . Any major associated with the degree not chosen shall be recorded accordin g to the provisions previously stated.
Specific major requirements may be found under the appropriate academic department listing in the "Curricula" section In that section , the requirements are presumed to be for the Bachelor of Arts degree unless otherwis e stated.

Notice: Beginning in the fall of 1989 and based on the Commonwealth of Virginia's revised teacher certification requirements, a restructured teacher education program will be implemented at the University of Richmond. It will be applicable to all freshmen entering in the summer and fall of 1989 and thereafter. The requirements of the restructured program will be published prior to the beginning of the 1989-90 academic year. Therefore, it is very important that the student maintains close contact with his or her advisor for current information regarding certification standards.
TEACHER PREPARATION AND CERTIFICATION
The Teacher Preparation Program at the University of Richmond includes the preparation of teachers for three levels: Early Education (NK-4); Middle Education (4-8); and Secondary Education (8-12).
The basic assumptions of the Teacher Preparation Program are that: (I) it is consistent with the overall goals and purposes of the institution ; (2) adequate support is given the program by the administration, faculty, and students; (3) close community relationships are fostered by the cooperative relationships developed between school systems and the University in the observation and student teaching program; and (4) a Teacher Preparation Program is needed to meet the needs of students as well as to supply qualified educational personnel for our democratic society.
The Teacher Preparation Program at the University of Richmond is structured to assist students in achieving the following objectives: (I) to gain knowledge of public education as a contemporary institution-its
functions and governances ; (2) to foste r knowledge of the philosophical , sociological, psychological, and historical foundations of education; (3) to acquire knowledg e of those characteristics of students which affect the learning process: intellectual, social , emotional, physical, and ethnic difference s; (4) to obtain knowledge of the growth an d development of students with emphasis o n student learning and achievement; (5) to acquire knowledge of instructional trend s , materials, techniques , and procedures pert inent to particular content areas and grad e levels; (6) to develop competency in planning, implementing, and evaluating clas sroom instruction; (7) to develop competenc y in establishing and maintaining an orderl y, supportive classroom environment ; and ( 8) to gain an awareness regarding the need fo r self-examination.
STATE APPROVED PROGRAM OF TEACHER EDUCATION
The University of Richmond was fir st granted an Approved Teacher Educatio n Program by the Virginia State Board of E ducation in 1972. Since that time, the D epartment of Education has maintained an Approved Program status.
The Approved Program permits qualifie d institutions the right and responsibility to recommend candidates for initial certific ation. Graduates of approved programs enjo y a reciprocity of certification with more th an half of the states.
FACULTY ADVISORY COMMITTEE FOR APPROVED PROGRAMS
Appointed by the Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, this committee is composed of members from the academic facu lty representing respective teaching area s, the Department of Education faculty, pu blic school personnel, and students.
Among the functions of this Committ ee are: (I) to coordinate the total teacher pre paration program; (2) to assure continuous interfaculty action needed for the operation of the program; (3) to conduct a continuin g
eva luation of the program and see that needed changes are made; and (4) to serve as a policy-making body for the teacher preparation program.

The Department of Education provides State Approved Programs in the preparation of elementary and secondary school teachers. Through reciprocity agreements made by the Commonwealth of Virginia with other states, students may apply for initial certification to teach in more than half of the states.
All students applying for initial certification must submit test scores for the National Teachers Examination to the Department of Education, University of Richmond . These test results are to include scores on (I) the core battery and (2) a specialty area. These scores will be forwarded to the State Department of Education with the student ' s application for certification.
