THE UNIVERSITYOF RICHMOND
Commitment
The University of Richmond 's educational program is committed to providing a nurturing environment rich in opportunities for personal engagement. Our fundamental ain1 is to offer our students a distinctive experience of engagement that fosters in them a love of learning , an appreciation of intellectual and cultural life, and an involvement with the community. The opportunity for learning through engagement is brought abo ut by the unique interaction among the quality of our student experience, the wise use of our resources , and the dedication of our faculty to excellence in teaching and scho larship. We are committed to the development of students who understand the nature of intellectual inquiry.
The goal of the University's academic p rog rams is not simply to impart knowledge. Inst ea d, we seek to instill in our students attitudes, values, habits of mind , and an a ppreciation of intellectual and cultural expe rience which will cause them to be tho ughtful and critically reflective throughout their lives. We also seek to provide stro ng foundations in analytic and problem-solving skills and in ethical and social respo nsibility upon which graduates build during the course of their lives. To this end, we seek to provide a context that promotes both the development of intellectual curiosity and a strong commitment to the value of learning for its own sake. The love of learning , the desire to pursue ideas , and the recognition of the need to think in a complex manner about intellectual questions should become so ingrained in our students that these characteristics become lifelong attributes which influence how our graduates live and think.
Identity
The University of Richmond is a small, independent, privately-endowed , undergraduate university with a law school and several master's degree programs. As one of the 50 or so most selective colleges in the count1y, we offer comprehensive academic programs for men and women in the areas of liberal arts and sciences, business, leadership studies, and law. The University combines the structure of a university with the intimacy of a college, offering students the best of many worlds. Related to the Baptist General Association of Virginia and dedicated to the development of the whole person , Richmond is committed to serve individuals of all faiths and persuasions , without regard to race , sex, age, physical handicap , or national origin.
Richmond is a place of possibility. The University's small size leads to rich opportunities for students to draw heavily on all of the University's resources in faculty , staff, facilities and equipment. Supported by exceptional commitment from alumni , faculty , administration, and staff, both financial and service, students benefit from a strong commitment to constant improvement. At a time when many institutions of higher education are facing serious budgeta1y problems, Richmond 's exceptional financial strength continues to allow it to grow and mature , strengthened always by a continuing commitment to excellence.
Educational Objectives
- To cultivate in students the interest, capacity, and skills necessa1y for independent intellectual inquiry and life-long learning
- To convey to students a representative po1tion of that body of knowledge that has accumulated and endured through the history of cu ltures
- To encourage and aid students in the development of basic beliefs, values , and attitudes
- To assist students in selecting and preparing for careers and for study in graduate and professional schools
- To foster in students personal habits that contribute to health and physical fitness
In order to achieve these objectives , the University is committed to:
- An educational environment conducive to the development of the whole person intellectually, socially, spiritually, physically, and morally
- An academic setting that guarantees and encourages freedom of thought, expression , and association
- An undergraduate curriculum that requires mastery of essential intellectual tools, understanding of basic aspects of human culture , extensive knowledge of at least one area of study , and physical exercise
- A faculty dedicated primarily to excellent teaching and dialogue with students , while remaining actively engaged in scholarly , scientific, and a1tistic creativity
- A diverse, largely full-tin1eand residential student body that participates in a broad range of University activities
- The essential resources for learning, such as libraries , laboratories, studios, computers , and audiovisual facilities and materials
- Opportunities for socia l commitment and public se1vice, internships , travel
and study abroad, and other appropriate learning experiences outside the campus
- A program of varied social, spiritual , and physical activities that provide occasions for growth , fun, and fellowship
- An administration that prese1ves and enhances the University's environment and resources , and that represents the institution to the broader community it serves.
Organization and Accreditation
Five academic schoo ls and two residential colleges are incorporated to form the University of Richmond with authority and responsibility vested legally in the Board of Trustees and the President of the University . The several colleges and schools award no degrees individually , but all degrees for work done in any one of them are conferred by the University of Richmond.
The Un iversity enrolls about 2,900 fulltime undergraduates, 93% of whom live on campus; some 500 full-time law and graduate students ; and 1,300 pa1t-time students , largely from Richmond and the surrounding community .
The University of Richmond is fully accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schoo ls to offer Bachelor of Alts, Bachelor of Science , Bachelor of Business Administration, Bachelor of Libera l Arts, and Bachelor of Applied Studies degrees at the undergraduate level; Master o f Arts, Master of Science , and Master of Business Administration degrees at the graduate leve l; and the Juris Doctor degree at th professional level. The University a lso is ce1tified by the Virginia State Board of Education to offer teacher licensure programs . Various departments and divisions hav e more specialized accreditation. Included in this catego1y are the music program, accredited by the Nationa l Association o f Schools of Music, and the chemist1y program, accredited by the American Chemi -
cal Society. In addition, The E. Claiborne Robins School of Business is accredited by the American Assembly of Collegiate Schools of Business at the undergraduate and graduate levels, and The T.C. Williams School of Law is accredited by the American Bar Association.
Environment and History
The campus consists of some fifty major buildings, of impressive Collegiate Gothic architectural style, set amid three hundred fifty acres of lawns , lake , and woodlands Richmond is in a setting of beauty and harmony suggesting an able future as a semina1y, later becoming a continuation of the d e ep roots of its past. Indeed, Richmond's hi story began almost two centuries ago w ith Richmond College, founded in 1830 by Virginia Baptists as a college of liberal a rts and sciences for men. Around this n ucleus were established The T.C. Williams School of Law (1870) ; Westhampton College, a coll e ge of liberal arts and sciences for women (1914) ; the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, for advanced study in the liberal arts and sciences (1921) ; The E. Claiborne Robins School of Business, for un dergraduate and graduate study in busines s (1949) ; University College, for eve ning, summer , and continuing education (1962) , now called the School of Continuing Studies; and the Jepson School of Leadership Studies , the first school of leadership studies in the United States (1989). In 1990, the academic missions of Richmo nd College and Westhampton College we re combined in a separate school , the School of Atts and Sciences. Richmond College and Westhampton College are the resid e ntial colleges for men and women respectively, providing special programming and leadership oppo1nmities in student life. Richmond benefits from a heritage of ethical and religious values, a residential character , and a commitment to liberal and general education through intimate schools and colleges joined into a substantial whole.

The Bachelor of Music degree is offered for those who wish to pursue intensive study in music. The Arts and Sciences faculty also provides instruction in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences leading to master's degrees in nine areas.
Students beginning their college careers are admitted to the School of Arts and Sciences . Those interested in earning degrees in business or accounting, or leadership studies are required to be prepared in the liberal a1ts and sciences and be admitted for their junior and senior years to one of the schools described below. Others will con -
tinue in the School of Arts and Sciences to complete the studies they have chosen.
The E. Claiborne Robins School of Business
The E. Claiborne Robins School of Business enrolls about 350 men and women. The school's principal objective is to provide a professional college education that will enable qualified students to meet the challenges of a complex and international 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. Once a student declares his or her major, The E. Claiborne Robins School of Business provides a number of internal activities in which that student may participate, including its own student government and honor council. The School of Business also has a chapter of Beta Gamma Sigma, a national honor society. Membership in Beta Gamma Sigma is the highest national recognition a student can receive in an undergraduate or master's program accredited by the AACSB.

Jepson School of Leadership Studies
The Jepson School of Leadership Studies enrolls about 80 men and women, offering the Bachelor of Arts degree with an interdisciplinary major in leadership studies The major is broadly based but highly integrated with leadership as a unifying theme. In an exceptional academic environment, the Jepson School challenges students to reach their potential and prepares them for future responsibilities through education for and about leadership.
The Residential Colleges
The University seeks to provide education on a human scale through its three academic schools and its two residential colleges for undergraduates. It emp ha s izes the benefits of active involv eme nt and participation in sma ller conunun ities as a way to draw the most from life in the University. Through such involvement and paiticipation, a greater sense of satisfact ion and community can be experienced as students celebrate traditions and make their own impact. Each student admitted to one of the three academic schoo ls simultaneous ly becomes a member of a residential co llege irrespective of whether the studen t lives in a residence hall or not. The orga ni zat ion of residential co lleges by gender clearly affords a basis for sharing common experiences and life issues. Richmond College, the residential co llege for men , and Westhampton College, the residential college for women, offer their students unique oppo1tunities to have meaningful bonding experiences in their communities and organizations of the same gender. Such opportunities enhance the identity formation and personal development of the paiticipants to a greater extent than the more typical coeducational curricular and cocurricular experience.
The coordinate colleges offer a ready way to focus on the important theme of gender development in personal development. At the same time , the colleges' educational concerns encompass other critical issues in human education and experience, such as th e growing ch allenges of a globa l society, the meaning of democratic values, the impo1tance of ethical and religious issues in human life, and the significance of academic excellence.
Each residential co llege has its own dean and staff, student government, act ivities and traditions, and the co lleges work together where there are mutual concerns. The co lleges seek ways to relate to the stL1dent as a person and not simply as a mind , a body, or a set of e m o tions or interests. T h ey develop for their students linkages between and among residential life , academic life, student government, and soc ia l life, integrating the facets of students' lives. The college deans exercise academic respons ibiliti es on behalf of the academic schoo ls and are ab le to bring University resources from a variety of domains to bear o n the life of individual students .
Th e gender -bas ed residential co lleges combine the benefits of a coeducationa l academic experience with the advantages of a single-gender experience. The greater number and variety of co-curricular activities provide more opportunities for student involvement. In particular , the University offers through its humanscaled structure many more student governance positions than usual and guarantees leadership roles for both men and women. Such positions a llow st ud ents the chance to affect their qua lity of life and to help shape their University.

The University of Richmond seeks to enroll men and women who have demonstrated the potential to succeed in their chosen course of study and have shown evidence of th e ir capability to contribute to the Un iversity community Admission to the University is competitive and selective.

STUDENTLIFE
The University of Richmond , through the Division of Student Affairs, provides a variety of cocurricular and extracurricular programs and student-support services . These are designed to enrich the quality of the collegiate experience by creating an environment in which the student can grow intellectually , emotionally, physically , socially, and spiritually. The ultimate purpose of this environment is to help each student fulfill his or her potential.
The deans ' offices for Richmond College and Westhampton College , the University ' s residential colleges , are focal points in student life matters. For the University , the offices are centers for closely knit smaller communities within the whole.
On a more personal level, a student may find the dean or staff member serving as a counselor, advisor , mentor , or collaborator.
If questions remain after reading the Student Life section of this catalog , a dean 's office can usually provide a more complete explanation or indicate where more information may be found. In all cases, the deans ' offices are contact points to provide assistance. Each student is encouraged to make full use of these excellent resources.
Services
Academic Advising
Every new student is assigned an academic advisor who is either a faculty or staff member. The advisor serves as a resource for the student in the development of the student 's academic program and in other academic matters. The student is expected to meet with her or his academic advisor regularly to p lan an academic program and review achievement.
By the encl of the sophomore year, in conjunction with the selection of a major , a different advisor will be assigned by the clepa1tmental chair or coordinator who is responsible for the student's chosen major subject area.
Consistent with the University's belief that choice and responsibility for one's actions reside with the individual , academic advisors are indeed resource persons. The final decisions and responsibility remain with the student.
Advising: International Students and Study Abroad
The Office of International Education, located in the administrative wing of Boatwright Library, serves all students: undergraduate and graduate, in a1ts and sciences, business, leadership studies, and law. It offers advising on study abroad opportunities and procedures, and a wide variety of services for international students: orientation, visa, work, health insurance and tax aclivising,cultural and social activities.
Academic Skills Center
The Academic Skills Center, loc ated in the administrative wing in Boatwright Libra1y, provides academic skills support to all students (i.e., undergraduate , graduate, etc.).

The Academic Skills Center is open Monday through Friday.
Career Development Center

vices for undergraduate and graduate students. Its mission is to assist students in identifying and implementing self-determined and realistic educational and career goals.

The Center also coordinates Career Expo, a job fair held at the beginning of the second semester.
Chaplaincy
Religious activities center in the Office of the Chaplaincy, which is easily accessible in the E. Carlton Wilton Center for Interfaith Campus Ministries. Though th e institution is related to the Baptist General Association of Virginia, the University is interested in the spiritual needs and growth of all of its students regardless of faith or belief. This is appropriate because the religious groups represented in th e student body are many and diverse.
There are numerous denominational organizations for students of various faiths: Jewish , Christian , Muslim, and other. Religious activities and dinners are held which are open to all to promote interfaith understanding. Each Sunday morning there is an interdenominational Christian worship service in Cannon Memorial Chapel, a Roman Catholic liturgy on Sunday evening, and a Sabbath evening servic e for Jewish students on Friday. The City of Richmond has well over 300 places of worship, each of which w e lcom e s students to participate.
The Chaplaincy office offers help, through individual counseling or group workshops , to the student who is facing personal problems or critical decisions , or who has spiritual needs.
Counseling and Psychological Services
The University maintains an office for Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) in addition to the academic advising and religious counseling services des cribed above. The office is staffed by couns e ling and clinical psychologists who ar e prepared to help students meet academic , personal, or emotional challenges w hile they are enrolled at the University. The services correspond to students' needs and include short-term counseling and psychotherapy, assessment, crisis intervention , psycho-educational presentations, individual consultations , and referral services. A policy of confidentiality is maintained with all services guided by the standards of the American Psychological Association and the licensing laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia.

Individuals with disabilities are invited to contact the Disability Coordinator regarding any accommodations they may require in visiting the campus or upon matriculation. The University provides reasonable adjustments or accommodations in its academic programs as necessary for equal opportunity and participation for qualified students with disabilities.
Multicultural Affairs
Working closely with the Office of Admission, the Office of Multicultural Affairs is the focus of the University 's effort to increase and maintain a diverse student population. To support this effo1t, the office develops and implements programs of specific interest to students of diverse ethnic backgrounds , and assists them in becoming acclimated to the University's environment.
Student Health Center
The Student Health Center offers a comprehensive program in health education and health maintenance , as well as treatment for illness and injury. The Health Center staff includes board certified family practice physicians and registered nurses. Services include acute care for illness and injury, general medical care , gynecology , allergy shots, immunizations, and a selfcare center.
Students living on campus are eligible for the services provided by the Student Health Center , because the cost of these services is included in the housing fee. Student Health Center privileges are availab le to off-campus students for an op tional fee. The cost of prescription drugs, some laboratory tests , hospital emergency room treatment , hospitalization, x-rays , and referra l off campus for consultation with medica l
specialists are not covered by any student fees. These costs will be billed separately.

Upon arrival at the Student Health Center, each patient must first be evaluated by the nurse who will advise the proper treatment for the patient 's medical complaint. If the evaluation indicates a medical need, an appointment with the doctor will be made. All doctors ' appointments are made only after evaluation by the nurse except for annual gynecological examinations , doctorrequested follow-up visits, allergy shots, influenza and MMRimmunizations , and PPD tests.
Allergy shots are given by appointment on weekdays during specified hours. Detailed instructions from the allergy doctor must accompany the allergy serum. The fee for each allergy visit is $5, and is payable at the time of the visit.

Policies
The University of Richmond is governed by policy statements which guide individual members in their actions toward each other and toward the larger commu-
nity. These policy statements support the University 's educational mission while seeking to assure that both individual and group rights are appropriately observed and maintained.
University Academic Honor Code Statute
The School of Arts and Sciences , the Jepson School of Leadership Studies , and The E. Claiborne Robins School of Business each operate under the University Honor Code Statute.

Each new member of Richmond College signs the Honor Code during the Investiture Ceremony early in the fall semester.
Westhampton College Honor System
The Westhampton College Honor Council sponsors Proclamation Night, a cer -

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 prima1y irnpo1tance in the educational process and essential to the development of responsible citizens. All members of the University community have a responsibility to comply 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 propeny, or othe1wise 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 Disciplina1y 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 disciplina1y action and, if need be, legal action. Disciplina1y action may range from reprimand / disciplinary warning up to and including dismissal or expulsion from the University. Sanctions will be imposed after proper determination has been made in accordance with established disciplina1y pro-
cedures of the University, with fair procedures observed and with appropriate appeal procedures available, as outlined in the Policy Statement and any approved revisions thereof.
A copy of this Policy Statement and/ or any officially approved revisions thereof is readily available in the residential college handbooks for each student who matriculates. All members of the University community should familiarize themselves with this Policy 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.
Right to Privacy
Student academic and personnel records are administered under the procedures and requirements of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (P.L. 93-380), as amended. This act generally prohibits the unauthorized release of confidential information about individual students; however, directory information usually may be released. Further information concerning this act is available from the Office of the University Registrar.
Alcoholic Beverages and Other Drugs
The legal age for the consumption and possession of beverage alcohol is 21 in the Commonwealth of Virginia; the law governs all sites within the Commonwealth and all persons including temporary visitors from other places. The University suppolts the laws of the Commonwealth, and has policies to educate and regulate its campus constituencies regarding the consumption of alcohol. Similarly, there are statutes as well as University policies prohibiting the possession, distribution, sale, or use of illegal drugs or narcotics , including marijuana and hallucinogens. Moreover, each person is responsible for his or her destructive, obstructive, or otherwise inappropriate be-
havior whether under the influence of any substance or not. Persons in violation of the law are subject to prosecution by law enforcement agencies as well as disciplina1y proceedings by the University
Motorized Vehicles
Each automobile, motorcycle , motorbike, or other such motorized vehicle operated on the campus must be promptly registered with the University, and the campus automobile permit fee paid. Individua ls operating vehicles must abide by the regulations governing registration , use , and parking. The University Police Department administers the registration and monitors compliance. Inquiries should be directed to that office.
Residence Life
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 Housing Coordinator of Richmond College. Inquiries , reservations, or other housing related correspondence should be addressed to the appropriate housing coordinator.
The University attempts to provide oncampus housing for all full-time students who desire to be accommodated. No student is required to live on campus, and some choose to reside off campus in private homes or apa1tments. The University does not have married student housing .
There are five residence halls for women on the Westhampton College campus . For men, the Richmond College campus has eight residence halls. In addition, townhouse apartments accommodate upper-level students from all undergraduate schools.
Residence hall rooms generally house two students, but there are a few rooms available which house one or three persons. (One person rooms are not available
for first-year students.) Most residence halls have lounges and laundry areas.
General supervision of the residence halls is provided by professional staff who are assisted by specially trained upperclass students University policy is the framework under which all campus residences are governed.
Numerous educational and social programs are planned for residents by the residence life staffs of the colleges and the Residence Hall Association . These programs make the residence halls and apa11ments living/learning environments which promot e a sense of community and personal growth.
Room reservation procedures are made available at appropriate times during th e school year. In general, con tinuing students request rooms and roommates according to the procedures established by each college. Incoming students complete a questionnaire. Using expressed lifestyle, mutual interests , and other criteria, rooms and roommates are assigned.
General Conditions
The Unified Agreement sets forth the specific terms and conditions applicable to residence hall rentals , meal plans , telecom services, and data services. Each student approved for housing receives a copy of the Unified Agreement, which details th e services provided to students, in conjunction with the room reservation procedures. Detailed information regarding residence life and housing is available in the college handbooks.
Activities
Because cocurricular activities are an important part of the campus experience, a broad range of events and oppo1tunities to challenge student interests are provided The University has oppo1tunities 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 Festival, which brings to campus outstanding figures in the literaty and artistic world. Academic depattments and programs sponsor many lectures, concerts, and plays. These activities combined with academic pursuits contribute to the formation of the well-rounded individual.
Organizations
There are approximately 180 recognized student organizations, groups, and clubs. The list of organizations each year reflects changes in student interests.
Academically oriented groups and chapters of national honor societies comprise abo ut 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 ac hievement. 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 pu blications, theater productions, performing music ensembles, and the student-opera ted radio station.
Religious organizations are an impottant part of the University scene. They present a variety of opportunities for fellowship, study, and social service in denominational, nondenominational, and interdenominational settings.
The Greek social system comprises approximately half of the full-time undergraduate student body. There are presently ten organizations for men and eight 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 among other
students in the campus residence halls and eat in the central dining center. In addition to their social activities, these organizations have historically organized and supported a broad range of community service projects.
Special interest organizations are yet another way for a student to gather with others who have similar interests. 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.
Campus Recreation
Campus Recreation is dedicated to the concept of providing quality recreational opportunities for the campus community. Campus Recreation has six components: informal recreation; aerobics and fitness; intramurals ; outdoor adventure; special events; and sport clubs.
With a valid University ID card, students, faculty, and staff are eligible to use the informal recreation gymnasiums, weight room, exercise rooms , pool, seven racquetball courts, two squash courts, 13 tennis cou1ts, and 400-meter track.

Student Government
To as great an extent as possible, the Universityplaces the governance of students in the hands of students. The residential colleges, and the schools of business and leadership studies each have their own elected 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 ce1tain faculty committees and committees of the Board of Trustees. Each college has its own honor council and its own judicial council composed entirely of students.

De posits
Upon acceptance for admission at the University of Richmond , a $300 General Fee deposit is required , and a $300 housing deposit is required if on-campus housing is requested.
Students planning to continue in the u pcoming school year are notified aro und February 1 to remit the appropri- ate deposits: a General Fee deposit of $ 100, and if on-campus housing is re- quested, a housing deposit of $500. These deposits are payable by the mid- March elate specified in the notice.
Deposits are treated as advance pay- ments which normally are credited to the stu dent '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 signifies an intention to attend or to continue to attend the University. The housing deposit signifies an earnest request for on-campus housing.
The University always credits the General Fee deposit first. If only a single deposit amount is received by the stated deadline , regardless of any accompanying instructions, the deposit will be placed in the Gen- eral Fee category and the presumption made that no housing is requested.
Deferred Payments
In recognition of the substantial interest in deferred payments , the University has arranged to make available the services of Knight College Resource Group , Tuition Management Systems, and Academic Man- agement Services. These three firms repre- sent one of several sound alternatives for financing a student's education. Information is mailed to students from d1ese companies in April.
Many parents and students may prefer to arrange financing through their local banks or other sources; but if there is interest in Knight College Resource Group , Tuition Management Systems, or Academic Management Services, furd1er information is available upon request from the University 's Office of Student Accounts.
Students are urged to complete what- ever 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 will be assessed on any unpaid balance. Maximum late pay- ment fee each semester is $50.
- Each student who fails to make satisfactory arrangements for the first-semester fees by the close of business on the first clay of fall classes.
- Each student who fails to make satisfactory arrangements for the secondsemester fees by the close of business on the first clay of spring classes.
Late Registration Fee
A late registration fee of $50 must be paid by:
- Each student who fails to complete registration for the first semester by the close of business on the day before the first day of fall classes.
- Each continuing student who fails to complete registration for the second semester by the close of business on the registration day specified for students continuing in the spring.
- Each new or readmitted student who fails to complete registration for the second semester by the close of business on the day before the first day of spring classes.

Financial Aid
The financial aid program at the University of Richmond provides need-based grants, loans and work opportunities, and also awards merit scholarships. Applicants for financial aid must be enrolled or accepted for enrollment in a degree or certificate program at the University. The need-based aid programs are designed for those families who are unable to pay the full cost of a college education. The merit scholarships are provided in recognition and support of noteworthy academic achievement. These merit scholarships are independent of any assessment of need , although it is possible to qualify for a combination of need- and merit-based aid.
Applicants for need-based financial aid must complete both the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and the University of Richmond 's Financial Aid Supplemental Application. Prospective students (including transfers) should mail the completed FAFSAby mid-February to ensure its receipt no later than the deadline date of February 25. Generally, to be considered for need-based aid, an applicant must be a U.S. citizen, must be enrolled or accepted for enrollment on a full-time basis in a degree or certificate program , and must demonstrate financial need. Once aid is offered it is generally renewed in subsequent years if the family's financial situation stays the same. A new FAFSAmust be filed
each year and the student must meet certain standards of satisfactory academic progress as outlined by the Financial Aid Office.
Students who are eligible for need-based aid are offered a package of funding that typically consists of a mix of grants, loan s and work. While the total amount of aid offered is based upon an assessment of financial need , the type and mix of aid is influenced by the student's ability. Thus students with superior academic records and potential will have a greater proportion of grant than loan in their aid package than will those students with records not a s strong.
There are a number of merit scholarship programs , some of which pay full tuition , room and board. Students are usually eithe r nominated for these scholarships or are selected from the pool of applicants for admission. Separate merit scholarship applications may be required.

4. 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.
m. Transfer Credit
Credit in transfer may be accepted only for courses which are comparable to co urses offered at the University of Richm ond. Moreover, the coursework must ha ve been taken at an institution or institutions accredited by a regional accrediting agency at the time the work was taken , 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 depa1tment conce rned. Hours awarded are added into h ours required for graduation, but grades are not calculated in the grade point average.
No transfer credit shall be formally acce pted or recorded until the University has received an official transcript directly from the records office of the institution which o ffered the coursework. If coursework is b e ing transferred from more than one institution , an official transcript must be received from each institution.
Note: For applicability of transfer work to general education requirements, see General Education Requirements, pages 51-54.
Registration Policies
Registration is limited to admitted, degree-seeking students unless specific approval is granted for unclassified status.
Registration
Students shall register by following the policies stated in the Schedule of Classes , which is published each semester by the University Registrar.
Note: A student is not fully registered for any term until satisfacto1y 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 school. (Alts and Sciences - see Residential Dean; business and leadership - see Academic Dean ) Enrollments in either category are subject to special charges as 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
After the end of the first 10 days of classes, but before the end of the seventh week, students may withdraw from courses provided that they receive the permission of the appropriate course instructor and academ ic advisor . Students will be required to pay the fee for change in class and will receive an M if failing at the time of withdrawal , or a W if passing at the time of withdrawa l. Ordinarily , a student may not withdraw from a course after the end of the seventh week of classes except for medical reasons. The student 's dean may, under specia l circumstances , make an exception to this policy.
Auditing Courses
With the approval of the student 's academic advisor, dean, and the instructor of the course , a student may register for a course on an audit basis. The regular rate of tuition is charged, and the audit course is counted as a pa1t of the student 's semester load. A permission form must be obtained from and returned with appropriate signatures to the Office of the University Registrar by the end of the tenth day of classes. Once the form is submitted to the University Registrar, the decision may not be reversed. An audited course cannot subsequently be taken for credit unless approved by the appropriate dean.
Pass/Fail Option
School qf Arts and Sciences only (Not availab le to undergraduate Business and Leadership Stud ies studen ts .)
An Arts and Sciences student who has completed at least 60 semester hours of academic work may opt for one course per semester to be graded on a Pass/ Fail basis. The course may not be used to satisfy any degree requirement other 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 Leadership Studies or Schoo l of Business courses may
be taken for Pass / Fail grading except those in the Department of Economics . No more than four student -opted Pass / Fail courses are acceptab le for degree credit.
Note: The restrictions stated above do not app ly to courses authorized to be graded on ly as Pass/ Fail.
The level of performance necessa1y to earn a Pass in a student-opted Pass / Fail course is D- or better. A Pass grade wi ll 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 wi ll be added into GPA hour s 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 th e Office of the University Registrar by the en d of the tenth day of classes. Once the form is submitted to the Un iversity Registrar , th e decision may not be reversed.
Repeated Courses
Coursework may not be repeated fo r credit toward graduation except as sanctioned by the University ; however, pa1ticular coursework may meet more than on e requirement for graduation . An examp le o f a sanctioned repeat-for-credit is the subsequent registration for a course in which th e content changes from term to term such as Special Topics or Independent Studies Also , ce1tain courses in a major or program may have to be repeated if the grad e earned the first time does not meet requirements; in such a case , the credit hours w ill be counted only once but both grades wi ll be calcu lated in the cumu lative grade poin t average.
Courses taken on an audit basis canno t be repeated for credit unless approved by the appropr iate dean.
Except in clear situations, the Office of the Unive rsity Registrar should be consulted before registration to learn if a pro -
pose d repeat is sanctioned for credit or if sanct ion is possible.
All courses taken at the University of Richmond become a part of the permanent acade mic reco rd. The grade for a course repea ted at the University of Richmond becomes a pa11 of the grade point average if the grade otheiwise would be included in the computation.
Course Administration
Clas s Attendance
Eac h student is expected to attend all mee tings of all classes , laborato1y periods, an d drill sessions of the courses in which he or she is e nrolled. However , the specific attendance policy in each course of study is to be determined by the instructor of th e course The specific attendance policy for each course will be announced and distribute d to the students at the beginning of the course. Faculty members should honor an official req u est from the appropriate dean to exc use a student for participation in a University-sponsored event, such as choral pe rformances off campus, intercollegiate ath letic events, judicial hearings at which the stud e nt must be present , etc.
A student may be held responsible for the w ork of a class or laborato1y missed during an absence. Acceptance of any excuse for an abse nce, and any provision for make-up , w ill b e at the discretion of the instructor (co nsiste nt 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 p e rcent of the meetings of a course to b e eligible to receive credit in the course.
Ex aminations
Most classes have examinations at the close of eac h term , according to a published schedule.
Each student is responsible for taking 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 ce1tified by a physician, pa1ticipation in authorized University activities, and /o r 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 necessa1y, 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 Grading Policies) to the University 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 Office of the University 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 student may next bring the matter to the attention of the depa1tment chair and the instructor, jointly. In the event of continued dispute, the student may formally petition the dean of the student's school who, in consultation with depa1tment 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 catego1y. P shows credit has been earned in a Pass/ Fail course , and Z shows that a course was audited. Sand U indicate satisfactory or unsatisfacto1y performance in non-academic courses or in a Pass / Nocreclit course. W indicates that the student withdrew from a course with a passing average. Marks indicating failure and included as such in the grade point average are F, M (withdrew from a course with a failing average), and V (failure because of excessive absences). The X indicates that the grade has not been received from the instructor.
J and Y mean th a t coursework has not been completed by the end of the term. The I, which provisionally counts as a failing grade, is given when the reasons for incomplete 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 clays from the last class day of the term in which the J was given. If the work is not made up during the grace period , the I will be converted to F. The Y, which does not count as a failing grade, is given 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 comp let ion of the work unless the instructor so specifies. In the case of an J or Y, once the makeup grade is rece ived , it appears to the right of the incomplete grade on the permanent record. In all cases, it is the student 's responsibility to make arrangements for and progress to th e completion of an incomplete course.
Credit and Grade Point Average
The University of Ric hmond uses th e semester hour value. A semester hour is the va lu e of one 50-minut e class-hour o f work a week through a nominal 14-week semester.
The grade point average is based on tw o factors :
GPA Hours - The accumulation of academic semester hours that have grades to which grade point values are assigned; an d Grade Points - Given for each semeste r hour 's grade according to this scale:
36
Calculation - The grade point average is calculated by dividing the total number o f grade points earned by the total number of GPA hours.
The accumu lations and av rage ar e shown each term on the permanent academic record and on the student grade repo1t. Also shown on these repo1ts is the accumulation of Earned Semeste1- Hours Earned hours are the academic semeste r hours in which the student has earne d passing grades, plus semester hours credi t. if any, for accepted transfer work.
Academic Reports
Repo1ts of the student's progress are pr epared each term in the form of the perm anent academic record and the studen t grade repo1t. The information included is the record of the student 's registration an d grades , with such other information as ma \' be deemed in1portant. All courses taken ;t the University of Richmond become a pa rt of the pern1anent academic record.
Work Taken Elsewhere
This section pertains to students who w ish to take academic work elsewhere w hile 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 eac h department chair concerned and the a ppropriate clean before taking work elsew h e re The approvals ensure that the work is acceptable to the University , its depa1tme ntal standards , and the student 's curriculum. The Office of the University Registrar p rovides the special form for the purpose, and also will answer questions about the p ro cedure.
School of Arts and Sciences and School qf Leadership Studies
While students are expected to get appro val before taking work elsewhere , work taken without prior approval may be accepted subject to transfer credit policies.
School of Business
The E. Claiborne Robins School of Business will approve for transfer credit those courses that meet the following criteria: The course is completed at an institution accredited by the American Assembly of Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB); the student receives a final course grade of at least C as verified by an official transcript; the approval of the appropriate depa1tment chair and clean is obtained. Approvals should be obtained prior to taking the coursework elsewhere. Courses completed at non-accredited institutions are generally n ot accepted for credit. Grades for courses taken at another institution are not incluclecl in the calculation of the University's grade po int average.
Study Abroad
Students wishing to study abroad are expected to contact the Office of International
Education for information about the range of opportunities and the procedures which they must follow. The procedures ensure that academic work abroad will qualify for transfer credits to the University of Richmond , and that the student will continue to be enrolled at the University while abroad. Fwther information about study abroad is presented in the next chapter, International Education.
Acceptance of Credit
Study Abroad/Richmond-Sponsored Programs
Only programs with a University of Richmond director or faculty, which also are administered by the University, are included in this catego1y.
For academic record, degree progress, and grade point average purposes, coursework taken in these programs is treated as if the work were completed on campus. Currently tl1ere are 11 such University Study Abroad programs held in: Australia, Austria, Costa Rica, the European Union, France, Greece, Japan, Spain, Russia , Venezuela, and Zimbabwe. All of the above are summer programs administered tl1rough the University of Richmond Summer School office.
Other Programs
Credit will be awarded for pre-approved coursework in which a grade, or equivalent, of C- (1.7) or better has been earned. Credit for C- (1. 7) coursework to be counted toward the major is subject to approval by tl1e academic department concerned. o credit will be awarded for work taken elsewhere until an acceptably complete official transcript in English is received by tl1e University Registrar directly from the institution providing the instruction or the approved agency coordinating the instruction. Such credit is recorded as academic hours passed and is not computed in the student's grade point average.
NOTE: To determine whether a program is sponsored by the University of Richmond , a student should contact the Office of the University Registrar for programs in the United States, or the Office of International Education for programs abroad.

Graduate Study
University of Richmond students who are near completion of the undergraduate degree may study in a master 's degree program in the University 's Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. To qualify for this option, a student must have already passed at least 100 semester hours of coursework before beginning his or her seventh semester of study , have an overall grade point average of at least 3.30, and be admitted to the Graduate School as a regular student by its standard procedures. Individual departments may set a higher minimum grade point average (both overall and in the major) to qualify for this option and / or restrict the courses that may be taken under it. Until students have completed requirements for the bachelor 's degree , they may take no more than three courses for graduate credit and not more than two in any given semester. Although a student who is accepted to this option will be enrolled in undergraduate and graduate courses simultaneously, the undergraduate and graduate transcripts will be kept separately. Courses taken for graduate credit will not apply to the bachelor 's degree. The student will register as an undergraduate and pay the undergraduate tuition rate until the bachelor 's degree is completed.
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.
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 school concerned. (Ans and Sciences students should contact the dean of the appropriate residential college.) 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 fuchmond 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 2.00 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 2.00 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-opted Pass is earned shall not count in the 30 hours. In addition , general education 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, and all other degree requirements must be met as outlined on page 39 under Graduation , including the 60 hour residency requirement.
A student who completes the requirements for the consecutive degree is ineli-
gible for Latin honors , and will not be assigned a graduating class rank.
The Concurrent Bachelor's Degree
A concurrent bachelor 's degree is on e which is pursued at the same time as another bachelor 's degree.
A student who wishes to pursue ,, bachelor 's degree concurrently shall notif y tl1e dean of his or her school promptly after the decision is reached. (Ans and Sciences students should contact tl1e dean o f the appropriate residential college.) A st.L1dent in the School of Business or the Scho ol of Leadership St.Lidies who desires a secon d undergraduate degree in the arts and sciences must receive the approval of the dea n of the appropriate residential college as we ll as the sanction of tl1e dean of their hom e school. Even when approved for tl1esecon d degree , such student remains a member of their home school for academic, admini strative , and extracurricular purposes.
When two degrees are being soug h t concurrently , the grade point average computation and all academic policies are administered on the basis of the then-accumulated work for both degrees.
To earn a concurrent bachelor 's degre e , a student must complete 152 semest er hours of academic work (158 if one of th e degrees is the Bachelor of Music) with at least 90 of the hours taken at the Unive rsity of fuchmond. In addition , the gene ral education requirements appropriate to each degree being sought, as well as r equirements for the majors, must be co mpleted satisfactorily. At tl1e proper time, tw degree applications must be submitted simultaneously to the University Registrar.
Latin honors , if earned , will be show n on botl1 degrees.
INTERNATIONALEDUCATION
In a world of wide-ranging and rapidly increasing contacts and interdependence a mong nations, states, and cultures , a wellprepared student is one who is able to function knowledgeably in an international and cross-cultural environment. To give students a n oppo1tunity to be well prepared, Univers ity of Richmond faculty are attentive to those cultural, political, economic, environmental , and social aspects of their disciplines w hich are international and intercultural. The University of Richmond believes that the p reparation of students for their roles as active citizens and effective leaders of the next generation must include a strongly internationalized curriculum and international education opportunities for all.
The Academic Programs sections following this chapter offer particulars about programs in the School of Arts and Sciences, The E. Claiborne Robins School of Busin ess, and the Jepson School of Leadership Studies.
The academic program of the School of Arts and Sciences provides opportunities for the study of international issues within a cademic fields which have long been associated with such issues, e.g. international relations and foreign languages and literatu res. In addition , as a result of focused effo11sto internationalize the whole curriculum, there is a lso a large and growing numb er of courses in nearly all other departm ents, such as art, English, history, philosop hy , religion and biology , which include international , often non-Western compon ents Students interested in the international field can major in one of the acad emic disciplines and / or in International Studies, an interdisciplinary and crosscultural program administered by the Director of International Education. (See p ages 102-110) The curricu la of The E. Claiborne Robins School of Business and the Jepson School of Leadership Studies include a number of courses which are international in scope. The E. Claiborne Robins
School of Business offers a concentration in International Business.
For a list of courses with significant international content, contact the Office of International Education.
In addition to work within each of the schools , international education is an important aspect of the total University of Richmond experience. The Office of International Education is charged with coordinating its elements, including the administration of the International Studies major , advising students on study abroad opportunities and procedures, providing advising and services for international students, and sponsoring a wide range of international programs and visitors. The office, which se1ves all schools of the University, is located in the Administrative Wing of the Boatwright Library , and welcomes visits from students, and prospective students, interested in international issues, and in contributing to the internationalization of the University.
Campus Activities
The University of Richmond provides a wide range of on-campus activities and events in support of international education. Courses, lectures , and seminars are offered by resident and visitirlg faculty and international scholars, writers , a1tists, and critics. The annual International Film Se1ies,exhibits and conceits bring to the campus a1ts from around the world. Students are also able to pa1ticipate in such organizations as the Asian Students Association , Multicultural Student Union, International Club, Model United Nations, and Amnesty International. Familiarization with other countries and cultures is enhanced on campus through contacts with a growing number of irlternational students who are fully integrated into the life of the University. For example , in addition to their active pa1ticipation in classes and student life , advanced undergraduate and some graduate students from various counJnternational Education • 43
tries regularly conduct drill sessions in their native languages. Informal chats sponsored by the Internat iona l Houses help students develop a command of the lang uag es they study.
Cross-cultural e du ca tion and dialogu e at Richmond tak e pla ce in residence halls as well as in classes. While th e great majority of internationa l stud en ts live in general dormitories , there a re two Intern at iona l Houses that are home to . S. and international students. Programs p lanned and execu ted by students living in the Int ernational Houses are open to the whole niversity comm uni ty.
The rapidly growing int e rnational student popul ation h as rece ntly included representatives from Argentina , Australia, the Bahamas, Belgium, Brazil, Bulgaria, Chin a, Colombi a, Costa Rica, Ecuador , El Salvador, France , Germany , Ghana , Great Britain , Haiti, Hong Kong , Iceland , Indi a, Iran, Jamaica , Japan, Kazakhstan , Kenya, Korea, Mexico, Pakistan, Panama , Peru, Romania, Russia , Singapore , Spain, Taiwan, Tanzania , Trinidad , Ukra ine, Uruguay and o th er countries.
Study Abroad
Direct experience of cultures is the best way to learn to comm uni cate across barrie rs of language, cu stom, politics , and geography. An encounter wi th different va lues and ed u cationa l systems, when supported by good will and serious s tud y , broad e n s stud ents ' und ers tanding of the complexities o f o ur rapidly changing world. Students who study abroad find their experiences , both in and out of th e classroom, to be stin1ulating and rewardin g. They return w ith a better und erstandin g not only of other cu ltures , but also of th eir own , not on ly of other people, but also of themse lves .
It is important to stress that study abroad is pos sible for all stud en ts, regardless of th e major. And while some believe that proficiency in a foreign language is necessary
for study abroad , it is , in fact, possible t study in English, in su ch co untri e as Au stralia , New Zea land , the UK, South Africa, G h ana , Kenya, Jam a ica and ot h e r s , an d eve n in non-English spea kin g co untri e s where co urses in English a re o ffe r d. It is also possible to combine int e n sive study of a fore ign lan guag e with co urses ta ught in English. In spec ial cases , a st ud e nt may , for examp le , begin or cont inu e the st ud y of a fore ign lang ua ge wh ile taking co ur ses i vario us disciplines (h istory , soc io logy , philosophy , etc.) in English.
When deciding when and for how lon g to study abroa d , stud ents h ave a variety o f a lt erna tiv es. There a r e opport uniti es to study for th e year, a semester, o r a s umm er , a nd in e ith e r the sop h o m o r e, juni o r , o r even the sen ior yea r. Fo r most st ud e nt s , study abroad in the junior year i the bes t cho ice.
The subjects students pursue abroa c range from a1t to business to zoo logy. Th e countr ies they ch oose range from Grea t Britain to Sou th Africa an d Egyp t , from Chile to Italy and Australia. Living a rran gements span from dormitories with lo ca l students , to home-stays a nd ind e p e nd en t apa rtm e nt s. While st ud y ab road h as lon g been recognized as a significa nt compon ent of a libera l a1ts ed u catio n , today students in the sc ien ces and in business are active ly participating in st ud y abroad in large a nd grow ing numb e rs.
Early planning is cru c ial to any su cces sful study abroa d experience. The selec tion of a n appropriate program must tak e into acco unt the student 's academic and p erso n al needs, the country and langu age in which h e or s he wishes to s tudy , a nd a number o f o ther factors. Stud e nts a re encouraged to begin exp lor ing th e opportunities for foreign study as ea rly as in th e first year a t the Unive rsity, and to plan their University of Rich mond co ur ses accord ing ly.
There are a numb e r of options in stu dy abroad programs. During th e academi c year th e re are opportuniti es to stud y
through the University's direct exchanges with universities in Great Britain (Universities of Bath, Bristol, Queen Mary-Westfield University of London , East Anglia, Lancas ter , Warwick , and Edinburgh); in Germa ny (Universities of Miinster and Kons tanz) ; in Spain (Universidad de Deusto, San Sebastian); in Argentina (Unive rs idad Blas Pascal , Cordoba and Universidad Torcuato Di Tella , Buenos Aires); in France (U niversites de Paris III, V, VI , VIII, X, XI, XII, XIII, Ecole ormale Supe rie ur e, Ecole des Hautes Etudes Polit iqu es et Sociales, Ecoles des Hautes Etudes Internationales , Ecole Superieure de Jo urnalisme); and in Australia (Crntin Unive rsity of Technology). Additional exchange relations are currently being develo ped in Ghana , Italy , Ireland , Mexico , Turke y and other countries The University's me mbership in tl1e Associated Colleges of the Soutl1 offers a number of additional opt ions. With prior approval, students may also enro ll in and transfer credits from programs administered by other institutions.
During the summer, the University of Richmond sponsors a number of study abroa d programs directed by Richmond faculty. There are programs in Austria, Australia, Costa Rica, Czech Republic , Hunga1y and Poland, European Community , France, Greece , Japan , London , Romania , Russia , Spain, a nd Zimbabwe. And new ones are always being created.
The Office of International Education advises students on study abroad programs and procedures, and coordinates University-sponsored study abroad programs. Stud ents should begin planning for foreign study by visiting the Office of International Educat ion and by attending a weekly information session.
After an appro priate study abroad program has been selected, each student is expe cted to follow procedures administered by the Office of International Education. Maintenance of status as a current student and credit transfer for study abroad can be
assured only if the program and specific courses have been pre-approved. Please see pages 37-38 for additional administrative information. For information on financial aid for study abroad see tl1e financial aid office.
The International Resource Center, located in the Office of International Education, contains information on study abroad programs, scholarships, graduate study abroad, teaching , working, travel and volunteering abroad.
International Student Advising
The Office of International Education is tl1eprimary 'po1t of call' for international students , scholars and visitors before and during their stay at tl1eUniversity. Issues related to student visas, health insurance, taxes , housing , as well as academic and cultural concerns, are addressed by tl1e staff, in consultation with relevant departments and other administrative units of tl1e University. In order to help international students and scholars to become integrated in the U.S., and to share their cultures witl1 others the office organizes orientation sessions for international students, as well as cultural and social activities throughout the year.
A liberal arts education is typically characterized by the development of broad intellectual and cultural interests and by the achievement of a significant body of skills and knowledge. It is the particular responsibility of a general education curriculum to address the first of these goals-the broadening of students ' interests-while also laying the foundation for the acquisition of advanced skills and deeper knowledge within optional areas of concentration , normally defined as majors.
So it is at the University of Richmond, where a distinctive general education curriculum has been designed
- to provide a stimulating and challenging introduction to collegiate life through a First-Year Core Course,
- to establish the basic prerequisites of productive scholarship through a set of Communication Skills requirements,
- to convey the basic knowledge and habits needed to live a healthy life through two Health and Physical Activity requirements , and
- to familiarize students in a meaningful way with some of the major approaches to intellectual and cultural life through a series of Fields-of-Study requirements. This curriculum is offered by a faculty that sees general education as fundamental to its mission. Through its various general education courses, the faculty intends to incorporate each and every student into a community of learners who value and practice the life of the mind. Beginning with their general education courses and continuing through the courses in their major , their elective courses, and their various co-curricular and extra-curricular learning expenences, University of Richmond students are expected to develop their ability to think critically and independently, to
46 • General Education Curriculum
learn to tolerate ambiguity where true ambiguity exists , and to grow in their respec t for , and their ability to deal with , the kind s of multiplicity that characterize our complex world. The common goal of th e University 's faculty is the education of independent, responsible, and contributin g members of society.
I. First-Year Core Course (CORE)
This two-semester course explores som e of the fundamental issues of human exp erience through close analysis of releva n t texts drawn from a number of cultures , di sciplines, and historical periods. In th is course all first-year students , together wit h a significant portion of the faculty , share a common syllabus , and thus engage in a common conversation. A central goal of th e course is to incorporate students into a community of learners from the ve1y sta rt of their collegiate careers. It is also hop ed that the intensive reading, focused discu ssions, and frequent writing that typify th e course will develop the fundamental skills required for subsequent coursework an d life. Sometimes associated with the cour se are co-curricular events such as lectur es and musical performances. This course is to be taken and passed by all student s, without exception, in their first year of m atriculation. It earns three academic credi ts per semester.
II. Communication Skills
Ideas and experiences must be comm unicated if they are to be shared, scrutinize d, and transformed into effective knowledg e Toward these ends, the faculty expec ts each student to develop skills in exposito 1y writing , oral communication, and forei gn language.
Expository Writing (COMJ)
As regards expository writing , or basic composition, the faculty assumes that all e nt e ring students have a certain level of te chni cal competence , but scholarly work a t the collegiate level demands that a stud e nt 's writing be not only technically co rrect but also purposeful and effective. For this re ason , the basic cours e that satisfie s this requirement-English 103-is esse ntially a course in critical thinking , in w hi ch writing skills are developed as a tool for thought and communication. Although so m e students are exempted from this course on th e basis of certain test scores , the majority of incoming students still satisfy this requirement through taking and passing English 103. In addition to this course , the faculty has begun to implement a writing program that will help to enhance th e expository writing skills of many Unive rsity students beyond the minimum level se t by this requirement.
Oral Communication
Oral communication is another skill that is essential for education and life. Students should be able to speak so that their ideas are expressed logically, lucidly, and effectively, and they should be able to provide re levant evidence whenever appropriate. In addition , students should be able to analyze the spoken discourse of others. The ge neral education curriculum at the University of Richmond assists students in these re gards by immediately immersing them into frequent and intensive oral exchanges and presentations in the First-Year Core Course, and by offering relevant courses, such as Speech 101, through the Departme nt of Speech Communication, Theatre and Dance. In addition , many faculty and de partm e nts have been increasing the oral communication components in their courses and seminars , with the goal of enh ancing this fundamental skill. With the ex ception of the Core Course , however , there is no single required course that stud ents must take to fulfill this portion of their ge neral education.
Foreign Language (COM2)
Foreign language has become more and more important as the world for which students are preparing themselves has placed increasing demands upon them to understand the national and cultural perspectives of other language groups. The knowledge of a foreign language is critical for achieving such understanding as well as for exposing the learner to other cultures, in ancient or contemporary guise , that he or she may encounter after graduation. For these reasons , the faculty expects all students to demonstrate functional ability in listening, speaking , reading, and writing in a modern foreign language or in reading and writing in a classical language. These abilities are appraised either at entrance or through introductory and intermediate courses.
m. Health and Physical Activity (HSSl and HSS2)
In keeping with the University 's objective of fostering knowledge and personal habits that contribute to health and personal fitness , every undergraduate at the University of Richmond is required to take a two-credit course on Dimensions of Wellness and to take one non-credit physical activity course during his or her undergraduate career. The academic course on wellness covers a variety of important health-related topics such as nutrition , principles of fitness , the cardiovascular system and heart disease , eating disorders , dependency , stress and stress management, weight control, sexually transmitted diseases , and behavior modification. To derive the earliest benefit from this course and from the physical activity course, it is strongly urged that they be taken in the first or second year of matriculation.
IV. Fields of Study
Fields-of-study courses introduce students to some of the primary fields, or sets of related disciplines , within which scholars group phenomena for study. These courses are intended to familiarize
students with the kinds of questions raised by scholars within each of these groupings, and with the methods by which scholars try to answer such questions . Although fields-of-study courses are typically offered by individual departments, they have nonetheless been designed and approved with general education as their primary objective. Thus, their scope exceeds the boundaries of singular disciplines insofar as they seek to give explicit attention to the perspectives, ways of thinking, and methodological approaches of larger fields of inquiry. In order to give students a broad understanding as well as a basic foundation for further study in any of these fields, the faculty requires students to pass specially designated courses in each of six fieldsof-study: historical studies, litera1y studies, natural science, social analysis, symbolic reasoning, and visual and performing arts. The minimum number of academic credits to be earned in each case, except in the natural science, is three. In natural science, as explained below, students must earn four academic credits in each of two different sciences.
Historical Studies (FSHT)
Historical studies examine events and actors of the recent or distant past within the context of the ideas, institutions, social norms, cultural practices, and physical environments out of which they arose. Such studies will enable students to understand the values of disparate societies and cultures, as well as the interrelationships among ideas, institutions, and events, as they have developed over time. In requiring that students pass an approved course in this field of study, the faculty wants students to establish a foundation for creating their own understanding of past societies and cultures, based upon the critical use of sources and evaluation of evidence.
Literary Studies (FSL1J
Litera1y studies are concerned with verbal texts that are read as structures of mean48 • General Education Curriculum
ing. The central activity of litera1y studies is textual interpretation, or the analysis of how such structures of meaning are constructed by writers and readers. In requiring a course specially designed and approved to satisfy this requirement, the faculty wants students to learn that textual interpretation can be guided by diverse and often competing theories and methodologies, and can be suppo1ted by various collateral areas of investigation, including the study of the process by which texts are created and received, the historical and cultural contexts in which they are created and received, and their relationships to each other and to other fields of experience and analysis.
Natural Science (FSNB, FSNC, FSNP)
Natural science is concerned with the physical universe , from subatomic to cosmic levels of organization. It covers eve1ything from inanimate forces to living systems. Through the generation and testing of hypotheses regarding repeatable, measurable , and verifiable phenomena, natural scientific inqui1y is one of our major mean s of understanding the world in which we live. For this reason and because of th e generally low state of science literacy , which is reflected in the reluctance of many students to take elective courses in th e natural sciences, the faculty has decided to require Richmond students to take 4-credi t laboratory-based courses in any two of th e three areas of natural science represente d at the University, namely biology, chemistry, and physics. Besides adding to students' knowledge of the world and thei r understanding of the methods and challenges of doing science, the faculty hope s that these courses will enhance their appreciation of the beauty of science.
Social Analysis (FSSA)
Social analysis is the systematic study of individual and social behavior. This field of study involves a self-conscious examination of what are generally taken-for-granted as-
sumptions regarding the nature of socia l life. It draws upon a variety of approaches , both theo retical and empirica l, in order to discern patte rns of meaning in behavior. In establishing social analysis as a re quired field of study, th e faculty decided that the focus of courses in this area must be on human behav ior in patticular. They also want th ese courses to familiarize students with a variety of theories and methods of analysis.
Sy mbolic Reasoning (FSSR)
Symbolic reasoning emphasizes symbolic problem solving, a process that includes translating problems into tem1Sthat can be trea ted w ithin a symbolic system, und e rstanding the rules by which info1mation may be used to obtain solutions, recognizing important principles governing the application of these mies , and judging the appropriateness of known methods of solution to a particular probl em. It is also distinguished by the attention it gives to logical co nsistency and by its wide range of applicability. In requiring the passing of an approved course in thisfieldof study, the faculty aims not only at helping students to develop the basic skills n eede d to us e one or more symbo lic systems, but also to stimulate their ingenuity in translating problems into approp 1iatesymbolic te rms and to foster their co nfidence and ability to pursue such problems to their valid solution.
Vis ual and Performing Arts (FSVP)
The study of the visual and performing arts involves scrutiny of the forms, traditions, m ea nings , and historical contexts of w o rks in various visual and performance med ia. It also involv es exploration of issues pe1taining to the methods , processes , and perso nal reso urces integral to the production and appreciation of such works. In requiring a co urse in this field of study, the facu lty hopes that by investigating and perhaps even experiencing the creation and interpret a tion of works of art, students will deve lop a heighten e d understanding of art as both an artistic and intellectual achieve" men t. Supplementing approaches typical in othe r fields of study, such courses should
d e monstrat e that people are as powerfully and profoundly influenced by what they hear, see, and feel as by the collect ion of ideas that they store in their minds.
Conclusion
In addition to th e fundamental educational experiences represented by these requir e ments , the faculty recognizes that thoughtful reflection upon an even wider range of topics and issues--e.g. , pertaining to gender, race , ethics, international perspectives, and other matters-is an important component in the education of Richmond students. While some of these topics and issues may be addressed in one or another course in the general education curriculum , the faculty feels strongly that they are best treated-sometimes focally , somtimes incidentally-within many different courses, outside as well as inside that curriculum . By addressing them in a variety of ways, from a variety of viewpoints, and with a variety of voices across the entire curriculum , the faculty as a whole will insure that students are aware of the many compl ex and serious ways in which these issues touch their lives and the lives of others.

Our central mission is to provid e an academic setting for students to become skilled, adaptable , and highly capable of working collaboratively; to excel in the best graduate and professional schools or in the most competitive entry-level employment opportunities; and to lead productive lives characterized by a lifetin1e of learning, leadership, and service.

COURSES OF INSTRUCTION
Whe re the course numbers for a two-semester course are separated by a hyphen , generally, either half of the course may be taken inde pendently for credit and in any order unless a prerequisite is stated . However, certain two-semester courses have a note in the description stating that both semesters of the course must be taken to receive cre dit toward graduation for either.
Note: Undergraduate courses at the University of Richmond long were numbered in the range 0-399 , with 300-level being the most advanced. Beginning with the 1990 fall te rm, undergraduate course numbers may extend through the 400-level; however, no t all departments have renumbered their courses.
