Thisapplies both to on-campus and off-campus life.

Residence LifeUMHB operates seven residence halls and two apartment complexes, and each of these has

a Residence Life staff member living on-site to manage the facility. These Resident Directors(RD’s) are full–time, live-in professionals who are aided by Resident Assistants (RA’s) whoare undergraduate students living throughout each building.

FINANCIAL AID

The University of Mary Hardin-Baylor makes available a broad range of financial assis-tance to worthy and qualified students. Most financial aid is awarded in accordance withdemonstrated need for assistance, as determined by use of the Free Application For FederalStudent Aid (FAFSA). Certain University scholarships are awarded upon the basis of excel-lence in academics or proficiency in a particular field of study or activity.

All financial aid is granted for no more than a nine month academic period. Financial aid isrenewable each year, upon reapplication, if the student is in good academic standing. Pos-sible changes in the amount of aid for each succeeding year may occur because of changes infunding levels and applicants’ financial data. There is no deadline to apply for financial aid;however, the priority date is March 1st of each year.

Application ProceduresStudents applying for financial aid must complete the following steps:

1. Process a Free Application For Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)This is a needs analysis form that determines the family’s ability to contribute to thestudent’s education. The completed form can be filed electronically via the internet atwww.fafsa.ed.gov or mailed in the envelope provided. This form may be obtained fromhigh school counselors or the UMHB Financial Aid Office.

2. Submit the following paperwork: UMHB Application for Financial Aid and parent’sand/or student’s income tax return(s) as requested. The UMHB Application for Finan-cial Aid may also be found via the internet at www.umhb.edu.

3. Follow up with the UMHB Financial Aid Office as other forms and documentationmay be required of the student in order to verify information provided on the Free Ap-plication For Federal Student Aid.

All correspondence to the Financial Aid Office should be addressed:University of Mary Hardin-BaylorFinancial Aid OfficeUMHB Box 8080900 College StreetBelton, TX 76513-2599

*Note: No student’s financial aid application will be processed until all required docu-mentation is submitted.

Awarding PolicyThe Free Application For Federal Student Aid uses a federal formula to determine an amount

which the family and/or the student is expected to contribute towards the student’s expenses.This amount is reported to the Financial Aid Office. The family contribution is then deductedfrom the student’s budget which estimates all reasonable and moderate expenses for the periodof enrollment.

Once the maximum amount of aid eligibility has been determined, the Financial Aid Officeprepares a financial aid package. The Financial Aid Administrator will award in this “pack-age” a combination of grants, scholarships, loans and/or campus employment to help meet thestudent’s financial need.

The completed financial aid package is submitted to the student for acceptance in an AWARDNOTICE. The student may accept the package in part or in whole. If certain programs arerejected, they will not necessarily be replaced with aid dollars from other programs. TheAWARD NOTICE must be returned to the Financial Aid Office within a two week timeframeor the offer becomes void.

27

Leaving SchoolAll students who are on financial aid must clear their records with the Financial Aid Office

prior to withdrawing from school. Those financial aid recipients who plan to graduate or whoplan not to return to Mary Hardin-Baylor the following regular semester must also clear theirrecords with the Financial Aid Office. Failure to do so will result in a hold placed on thestudent’s account and/or transcript.

Refund/Repayment PolicyA financial aid recipient withdrawing from the university and receiving a refund from the

UMHB Cashier’s Office in accordance with the policy listed under the Financial Informationsection in this catalog may be required to repay institutional aid to UMHB with the refund.The percentage of institutional aid repaid to UMHB will be based upon the percentage ofrefund received by the student. (i.e. Students receiving 80% tuition refund will repay 80% ofthe institutional aid.)

State and federal financial aid will be returned in accordance with governmental regulationsupon a student’s withdrawal. State financial aid will be returned to the state in a decliningpercentage through the first four weeks of a semester.

Title IV Funds (Federal financial aid) must be returned through 60% of the semester. (i.e. Astudent withdrawing at the midpoint of a semester must return 50% of Title IV funds received.)

The return of Title IV funds by UMHB due to the withdrawal of student before completing60% of a semester will result in an amount being owed to UMHB by the student. UMHB willmake an adjusted refund to students withdrawing during their first semester of attendance tocompensate for the mandated return of Title IV funds by refunding the lesser of the amountdue UMHB or the amount of Title IV funds returned less funds disbursed to student.

Satisfactory Academic Progress and Financial AidThe Department of Education requires that students receiving financial aid make satisfac-

tory academic progress toward a well-defined educational objective. In general, educationalobjectives at the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor will be baccalaureate and master’s degreesand teacher certification as offered by the University. Satisfactory progress toward the student’seducational objective will be measured in two ways: Qualitatively (grade point average) andquantitatively (number of hours completed). Progress must be evident in both areas.

Minimum Qualitative MeasuresA student failing to meet the following standards (each semester and overall) is automati-

cally placed on financial aid probation for the ensuing semester:Freshman 0-29 hours 1.5 GPA on hours attemptedSophomore 30-59 hours 1.7 GPA on hours attemptedJunior 60-89 hours 1.9 GPA on hours attemptedSenior 90 hours & above 2.0 GPA on hours attemptedOther students(such as teacher certification) 2.0 GPA on hours attempted

Minimum Quantitative MeasuresIn addition to the measures above, a student will be placed on financial aid probation for

failing to successfully complete the number of hours for which he/she was awarded financialaid for that period of enrollment (undergrad full-time = 12+ hours per semester; ¾ time = 9-11hours per semester; ½ time = 6-8 hours per semester) Should a student drop hours during thefirst twelve class days that affects their enrollment status (full; ¾; ½), their financial aid willbe adjusted accordingly. If, after that point in time, an enrollment status decreases (droppinghours or a withdrawal), the student shall be placed on financial aid probation for the upcomingsemester. If a student receives an “incomplete” in any class, the student shall be placed onfinancial aid probation pending a grade determination and notification to our office.

28

Additional ElementsIn most cases, if a student fails to make satisfactory progress during a given semester, his/

her aid will be placed on financial aid probation for the next semester in attendance. However,after the student’s second academic year of attendance at an institution (measured as aperiod of time, not by the student’s grade level), the student will be placed on financial aidsuspension should he/she not have at least a 1.9 cumulative grade point average. After thestudent’s third academic year of attendance at an institution (measured as a period of time, notby the student’s grade level), the student will be placed on financial aid suspension should he/she not have at least a 2.0 cumulative grade point average. The maximum time frame for com-pleting a program may not exceed 150% of the published length of the program. In most cases,the maximum time is five (5) academic years for a student to complete a four (4) year aca-demic program.

While on financial aid probation, the student can continue to receive financial aid in theupcoming semester but must successfully complete the next 12 hours of enrollment at UMHBwith a 2.0 grade point average. If the student achieves this, his/her financial aid probation willbe removed. If a student fails to meet the requirements to clear the financial aid probation, thestudent’s aid will be terminated and the student will be placed on financial aid suspension.

Once on financial aid suspension, the student can have his/her aid reinstated only after thestudent has successfully completed 12 semester hours with a 2.0 grade point average and re-established his/her satisfactory progress or the student has laid out 1 full regular semester asrequired by the Registrar’s Office. At that time, the student must provide the Financial AidOffice with documentation reflecting this and request that the financial aid suspension beofficially lifted.

A student may appeal the financial aid suspension by submitting a request to the Director ofFinancial Aid detailing why he/she did not meet the minimum financial aid requirements andwhy his/her aid should not be terminated. This request must be made within two weeks afterhaving been placed on financial aid suspension. At that time, the Director of Financial Aidwill review the documentation and will notify the individual of the decision. A student wish-ing to appeal the decision of the Financial Aid Director may do so in writing to the FinancialAid Committee.

Late RegistrationA late registration fee of $50.00 will be charged to students who fail to register at the time

scheduled by the University.

Drop/AddA fee of $5.00 per course/per change will be charged any time a course is dropped or added.

For example, a student adding two courses and dropping one would be charged $15.00 indrop/add fees.

Payment of AccountsTuition, fees, and room and board charges for each academic period are due at the time of

registration. Students receiving any type of financial aid (scholarships, grants, loans, campusemployment, etc.) must secure written confirmation of all such financial assistance from theFinancial Aid Office and present it to the Cashier’s Office at the time of registration. Registra-tion is not complete until all financial arrangements are made with the Cashier’s Office.

We accept credit card payments (VISA, Discover, MasterCard) when the card is presentedin person over the counter in the Cashier’s Office. Credit card payments can also be made viathe Internet. There is a convenience fee of $2.50 per $100 charged when on-line payments aremade. We do not accept credit card payments over the telephone because of security concerns.

Students should also have funds for the purchase of books and other supplies as these ex-penses are not charged on the registration bill. Credit cards may be presented for payment inthe UMHB Bookstore.

Exclusive arrangements have been made with Tuition Management Systems for familieswho need to make monthly payments. The monthly budget program is not a loan and carriesno interest. A participation fee of $50 enables the payor to make nine (9) equal payments tocover assessed annual school costs. The first payment is due August 1, but the program may beentered into later by including all previously due payments with the application fee. For thosestudents who will be attending only one semester, a four (4) payment plan is available for $35.Life insurance which covers the unpaid contract amount may be purchased at an additionalcost.

The amount to be financed is determined by subtracting all financial aid (including campuswork and PLUS loans) from the total of tuition, fees, and room and board. Books and personalexpenses may not be budgeted and must be paid for at the time they are incurred. Students maycall Tuition Management Systems toll free at 1-800-722-4867 to assist them in calculatingtheir monthly payment requirement. If a student is dropped from the monthly budget plan dueto nonpayment, the balance owed on the student’s account will become due immediately and a$40 fee will be charged to the student’s account by the University.

The monthly budget plan is not available to international students.UMHB will not grant transfers to another institution until all accounts and loans have been

settled. The University also reserves the right to withhold a student’s grades, diploma, and/ortranscript for failure to make complete payment of a student account or proper payment on astudent loan. UMHB may additionally withdraw a student for failure by the student to demon-strate proper responsibility in the handling of financial matters as related to the University.

Additional charges (or credits) made to correct errors or omissions are payable upon receiptof statement.

For any check not honored by a bank, a returned check fee will be charged.

61

Refund PolicyRegistration in the University is considered a contract binding the student for charges for

the entire academic period. However, a student finding it necessary to withdraw from UMHBmay secure an honorable dismissal through the Registrar’s Office. This official withdrawalmust be accomplished before any consideration can be given by the Business Office to grant-ing refunds.

ACADEMIC STANDARDS

Unit of CreditThe semester hour is the unit of credit. It is defined as a class meeting the equivalent of a

minimum of 12.5 hours per term (laboratory hours equated).

Course NumbersThe first digit in the numbering system denotes the course level (1-Freshman, 2-Sopho-

more, 3-Junior, 4-Senior,). The second digit denotes the number of semester hours the coursecarries. The third and fourth digits are departmental numbers. Junior- and senior-level coursesare upper-level. e.g. RLBS 3320 would be a junior-level class of 3 semester hours.

Student LoadFull-time Load:Fall/Spring Semester ............... 12 hours undergraduateSummer Session ......................... 6 hours undergraduate

Normal Load:Fifteen to eighteen semester hours is considered a normal undergraduate load for a regular

semester. Six or seven semester hours is considered a normal undergraduate load for a summersession.

Undergraduate Overload:Nineteen semester hours may be permitted during a regular semester, if the student has

earned a minimum grade point average of 3.00 for the preceding semester. Any student desir-ing to carry a load in excess of this amount must have an overall GPA of 3.00 and at least a3.30 GPA for the preceding semester before such a request may be considered.

A maximum of 8 semester hours for one summer session or 14 semester hours for the fullsummer term may be permitted if the student has earned a minimum grade point average of3.00 for the preceding semester or full summer term. Graduating seniors may be permitted toearn 15 semester hours during the full summer term.

All overloads must be approved by the student’s Dean.

Class StandingThe class standing of an undergraduate degree-seeking student is determined as follows:0-29 semester hours Freshman30-59 semester hours Sophomore60-89 semester hours Junior90+ semester hours Senior

Incomplete GradeAn “I” (Incomplete) indicates inability of a student to complete some vital requirement of

a course (e.g. final exam, major report, term paper, etc.) due to conditions beyond the student’scontrol. It is not the intent of the “I” grade to give a student an unfair time advantage overother students who complete their work in a timely manner. As such, an “I” grade will beapproved only when exceptional circumstances, clearly beyond the student’s control, are sub-stantiated (e.g. protracted illness, injury, or other acute personal emergency).

Once an “I” grade is assigned, it is the responsibility of the student to take the initiative tocomplete the work within thirty (30) calendar days after the start of the next semester (includ-ing full summer term). If more than thirty days are required, an extension request is to besubmitted by the student through the instructor and department chairperson to the Dean. Ap-proved extensions will be filed with the Registrar. An extension longer than the end of the nextsemester (including full summer term) will not be approved. The “I” will be automaticallychanged to an “F” if the course is not satisfactorily completed within this time frame. A$25 fee is charged to remove an “I” grade.

Grade ReportsGrade reports are mailed at the end of each semester to those students whose accounts are

current. Grades are also posted to the UMHB intranet site. http://campus.umhb.edu

Grade Point Average (GPA)All students are expected to maintain a 2.00 GPA each semester.

Provost’s Honor RollAt the end of the fall and spring semesters, a scholastic honor roll is compiled by the Provost.

This honor roll includes all students completing 12 or more undergraduate hours during thesemester who have earned a 3.70 grade point average or above on those hours. Correspondencecourses taken during a semester do not count toward requirements for the Provost’s Honor Roll,nor do courses taken at another institution, or courses earned by examination such as AdvancedPlacement or CLEP.

65

Dean’s Honor RollAt the end of the fall and spring semesters, a scholastic honor roll is compiled by the dean

of each college. This honor roll includes all undergraduate students who had officially de-clared a major in a department within the college by the beginning of the semester and whohad completed 12 or more undergraduate hours during the semester and earned a 3.50 gradepoint average or above on those hours. Correspondence courses taken during a semester do notcount toward requirements for the Dean’s Honor Roll, nor do courses taken at another institu-tion, or courses earned by examination such as Advanced Placement or CLEP.

Academic ProbationThere are three categories of academic probation status recognized at the University of

Mary Hardin-Baylor: probation, continued probation, and probation by petition. An under-graduate student failing to meet the following standards is automatically placed on academicprobation for the ensuing semester:

Freshman 0-29 hours 1.5 GPA on hours attemptedSophomore 30-59 hours 1.7 GPA on hours attemptedJunior 60-89 hours 1.9 GPA on hours attemptedSenior 90 + hours 2.0 GPA on hours attemptedA student who enters the University on academic probation or is placed on academic proba-

tion is expected to conform to the following regulations: (1) Reduce academic load to amaximum of 12 semester hours; (2) Adjust work program to better fit the academic needs ofthe student; and (3) Attend all classes. Generally a student will be removed from academicprobation when he/she has successfully completed at least 12 hours of full-time courseworkwith a term GPA of 2.0 or better and achieves the overall GPA level required for the student’sclassification.

Students on continued probation will not be eligible to participate in any non-curricularactivities until the academic probation is removed.

“Continued Probation” occurs when a student does not remove the academic probationafter the initial semester of probation, examples being:

1. The student takes fewer than 12 hours of coursework during the semester on probation,yet still earns a term 2.0 GPA and thus does not remove the probation remains on contin-ued probation;

2. The student takes 12 hours of course work and makes a term GPA of 2.0 or better, butdoes not raise the overall GPA to the level required for the student’s classification, asdescribed under Scholastic Probation in the university catalog, remains on continuedprobation;

3. The student takes 12 hours of coursework during the semester on probation but does notearn a term GPA of 2.0 or higher, and thus moves from academic probation to academicsuspension.

A student who appeals academic suspension and has the suspension waived by the student’sacademic dean will be continued on probation by petition and will not be eligible to partici-pate in any non-curricular activity or represent the University, under the following conditions:

1. No participant in any class for which he/she is registered shall be prohibited from takingfield trips or from taking part in productions which are a part of that class.

2. A student who is on probation by petition usually may participate in tours and other suchactivities only if his/her credit for the course is dependent on participation in said activi-ties and provided that he/she receives prior approval from the Provost/Vice President forAcademic Affairs.

3. A student who is on probation by petition ordinarily may not represent the University inactivities other than those stated in 1 and 2 above. This probation includes, but is notlimited to, such activities as intercollegiate contests, off-campus productions, pledging,or active membership in a club. (Official representation is defined as participation in anyactivity under the name of Mary Hardin-Baylor, under the direction, supervision, or spon-sorship of any university area.)

66

Academic SuspensionA student who is placed on academic suspension will be suspended for a minimum of one

“long” semester. For example: A student placed on academic suspension at the end of the fallsemester will not be allowed to re-enroll until the start of the summer semester. A studentplaced on academic suspension at the end of the spring semester will not be authorized toregister for classes until the start of the next spring semester.

Courses taken at other institutions during a period of academic suspension from UMHBmay not be transferred to UMHB.

A student who has been suspended may be readmitted (on probation) through the regularadmission procedure at the completion of the suspension period. If readmission is granted, thestudent would be required to comply with the regulations listed in the Scholastic Probationsection above.

Falsifying transcripts will result in the permanent dismissal of a student from UMHB.

Right of AppealStudents may appeal any academic decision believed to be arbitrary, capricious, or unfair.

Appeals must be initiated within one month of the date of the decision or action being ap-pealed. The student should first appeal the decision in writing to the person who made it,stating the appropriate rationale for reconsideration. If the matter is not resolved, the studentmay then appeal that decision in writing to the next highest authority. In matters related tocourses, the line of appeal is the professor, the department chair, the dean of the college, andfinally the Provost. Each person to whom an appeal is made shall have five working days inwhich to communicate the decision to the student. Students should understand that mere un-happiness with a decision is not grounds for an appeal. For an appeal to have merit, there mustbe some evidence that the student has been treated inappropriately with regard to the adminis-tration of the university’s policies and procedures.

Chapel AttendanceChapel services are held weekly. Each full-time student pursuing a baccalaureate degree is

required to receive credit (no grade) for chapel at Mary Hardin-Baylor. Attendance is checked.See the student handbook for specific details regarding the attendance policy and other chapelrequirements.

CLASSROOM EXPECTATIONS AND ETHICS

AttendanceAs a major aspect of the university experience the interaction between student and instruc-

tor, the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor expects regular and punctual attendance in class.Individual instructors, due to their particular course of study, may have more specific atten-dance requirements cited in their syllabi.

Punctuality is deemed to be as important as attendance because tardiness is undesirable formost of life's events.

Students coming to class late are responsible for checking with the instructor to make surethey were not marked absent.

The student must inform the instructor of university excused absences in advance of thatabsence. This will allow a reasonable opportunity for the student to make up work missed. If itis not feasible for the student to make up work, some allowance may be made in order that thestudent not be overly penalized.

Absences are counted from the first class session of the term. It is the student's responsibil-ity to approach the instructor regarding making up the work for any missed classes.

Academic HonestyAt the university level of the student's education, honesty and integrity are expected in all

approaches to learning. In order to maintain academic honesty and integrity two primary areasmust be addressed.

Plagiarism (exemplified by but not restricted to):• The offering of any work done by another as your own work.• Using quotations or the paraphrase of a quote within your work without citing the

source.• Using a paper for one course that was prepared for another course without both in-

structors' knowledge and permission.• Collaborating with others on an assignment without the instructor's permission.

Academic Honesty (exemplified by but not restricted to):• Providing your fair share of input and effort for all group work that is required in a

course.• Preparing for every class that you attend. This includes careful reading of assign-

ments, being prepared to participate in discussions and completing anymini-assignments.

• Preparing the answers for take home exams using the appropriate materials but with-out the assistance of any other person or persons.

• Refraining from giving, receiving, or obtaining information about exams unless au-thorized by the instructor.

• Refraining from using materials during exams that have not been approved by theinstructor.

• Refraining from consulting with others during exams or classroom discussions unlessexplicity authorized to do so by the instructor.

All acts of Plagiarism or violations of Academic Honesty are considered serious offencesand may result in failure of the assignment or the course.

70

Academic DecorumThe learning process involves an exchange of ideas and an exploration of concepts be-

tween faculty and students. A certain level of decorum facilitates this process for learners andteachers. Behaviors can also disrupt it. Use the following examples as guides to behaviors thatsupport learning. Avoid those which disrupt the learning process.

Supportive actions include• Coming to class prepared including reading all assignments.• Being attentive and responsive in class.• Respecting fellow student's opinions and ideas.• Contributing to the class by making topic specific comments.• Offering critiques and alternative ideas in a non-condescending manner.• Providing a fair share of work to group projects and team activities.• Supporting the rights of classmates to contribute, even when disagreeing with con-

tent.• Challenging or questioning the instruction in a non-threatening/non-demanding man-

ner.Examples of disruptive behaviors to avoid include

• Sleeping in class.• Talking in class or lab while the instructor is teaching.• Using cell phone or beepers while in class.• Walking out of class during instruction.• Passing notes to classmates while class is in session

When the student is three semesters from graduating, the degree plan must be“formalized,” signed by the student’s major/minor/certification advisor(s), and forwardedto the Registrar’s Office. (In some UMHB colleges, the “formalized” degree plan is routedthrough the Department Chairperson and the Dean.) A “formalized” degree plan shouldbe on file in the Registrar’s Office prior to Fall Registration for May graduates, and priorto Spring Registration for August and December graduates. Substitutions and/or waivers affecting the degree plan must be approved by the Depart-ment Chairperson and/or the Dean at the time the degree plan is “formalized.” Thecompleted substitution waiver form must accompany the signed degree plan. Once the degree plan has been reviewed and approved by the Registrar, a Degree Auditwill be sent to the student (copy to the student’s major advisor) listing those items thestudent needs to complete to graduate. If the student desires to make an appointmentwith the Registrar to discuss the degree plan, the student is welcome to do so. The stu-dent cannot make formal application for degree, however, without the Registrar’s approval.

While following a degree plan should be a joint effort between a student and thestudent’s advisor(s), meeting the requirements for a particular degree is ultimatelythe responsibility of the student. Adherence to the above schedule should be followed.

E. Make formal application for degree and pay graduation fee by February 28 for Maygraduates, June 30 for August graduates, and September 30 for December graduates.(The graduation fee covers the cost of the student’s diploma and commencement rega-lia.) Students filing for graduation after their respective deadline will be charged a latefee as well.

Applications for past graduation dates will not be accepted, even though all degreerequirements may have been completed during previous semesters.

F. Participate in commencement exercises. Commencement regalia and invitations may beobtained from the UMHB Bookstore.

Because commencement exercises are a meaningful experience in the academic lifeof a student, all students are encouraged to participate when possible. However, a stu-dent may be excused from commencement exercises and be permitted to graduate inabsentia with approval from the Registrar.

A student desiring to graduate in absentia should submit a written request to the Reg-istrar not less than two weeks prior to the commencement exercise. The diplomas of students graduating in absentia will be mailed after the commence-ment exercise provided the students submit written requests, current mailing addresses,and postage fees.

Graduation Under A Particular CatalogTo receive an undergraduate degree from the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor, a student

must fulfill all requirements for that degree as set forth in a catalog under which the student isentitled to graduate. The student, however, has several choices: (1) graduate under the currentcatalog; (2) graduate under the catalog in force the year the student first registered (degreeseeking status) at Mary Hardin-Baylor (within the six-year limitation); (3) graduate under thecatalog for any subsequent year in which the student was registered at Mary Hardin-Baylor(within the six-year limitation); or (4) if first registration (degree seeking status) at Mary Hardin-Baylor was during a summer session, graduate under the catalog governing the preceding longsession or the catalog for the next long session.

The University catalog is considered valid for six years from a student’s initial enrollmentwith degree seeking status. For example, the catalog for school year 2005-2006 is valid forgraduation purposes through August 2011 for a degree seeking student enrolling in the fall of2005. A student, who fails to complete the required work for a degree in a six-year intervaldating from the time the student first registered with degree seeking status, must reorganizehis or her degree plan to conform with the current catalog.

MODERN FOREIGN LANGUAGES

Judith E. Arnold, Chairperson

The Department of Modern Foreign Languages has the principal goal of promoting thestudy of modern foreign languages, cultures, and literatures. In support of this primary aim, italso endeavors (l) to emphasize in all curricula the development of both oral and written pro-ficiency in the foreign language according to guidelines published by the American Council ofTeachers of Foreign Languages (ACTFL), (2) to provide the highest quality, most up-to-date,practical instruction in foreign languages and cultures and in English for Speakers of OtherLanguages (ESOL), (3) to produce majors able to meet requirements for Spanish teacher certi-fication in Texas (ExCET/TExES and TOPT), (4) to introduce students to the experience ofreading Spanish, French, or German literature in the original language, and (5) to producestudents able to read the Bible in a foreign language with relative ease and able to performministry in a foreign culture.

A Bachelor of Arts degree requires 14 hours (4 semesters or the equivalent level of achieve-ment) of a foreign language. All four semesters must be in the same language.

Elementary and intermediate foreign language courses emphasize the development of bothoral and written communication skills. Small group conversational practice, cassette tapes,and computer programs are offered as reinforcements. Additionally, a study program in Mexicoand summer intensive programs in Spanish may be offered.

All courses in foreign language are open to credit by examination. The CLEP exam is avail-able for students who wish to challenge the beginning and intermediate levels. A Spanishplacement test is required of students with previous experience in formal or informal Spanish.

A major, a minor, and a teaching field are offered in Spanish. (For details of the variousrequirements, see below under Spanish.) Minors are offered in French and German. A mi-nor in French or German consists of 18 semester hours above the level of FREN/GERM 1420.

The department also offers courses in “English for Speakers of Other Languages”(ESOL) to incoming international students. Further details as to placement, course require-ments, and regulations may be obtained from the ESOL instructors.

SPANISH

Major in Spanish, B.A. degree: A major in Spanish consists of 30 semester hours abovethe level of SPAN 1420. The major must include the following courses: 3330, 3340, 3350,3360, and 3370. No grade lower than “C” will count toward fulfillment of a Spanish ma-jor.

Minor in Spanish: A minor in Spanish consists of 18 semester hours above the level ofSPAN 1420. The minor must include 3330, 3340, either 3370 or 3380, plus one course from3350, 3360, 3390, or 4361. No grade lower than “C” will count toward fulfillment of aSpanish minor.

Teacher Certification requirements for languages other than English have yet to bedetermined by the Texas Education Agency. The department will revise requirements asthey are published. Spanish Teacher Certification will likely be changed to all-level bySBEC in the near future.

Teacher Certification in Spanish (6-12): Students desiring to certify to teach Spanish in apublic school, grades 6 through 12, will complete a B.S. or B.A. degree in Spanish, consistingof 30 semester hours which include: 2310, 2320, 3330, 3340, 3350, 3360, 3370, 3380, and 6hours of upper-level Spanish electives; plus an appropriate certifying major or minor. An ap-propriate certifying major, other than English, is required on the B.S. degree. Studentscertifying in Spanish must take and pass both the ExCET/TExES and the TOPT (Texas OralProficiency Test) in order to receive certification. In addition, students will need to fulfillgeneral requirements for the B.S. or B.A. degree and the certification requirements of theCollege of Education published on page 240.

MUSIC

Lon W. Chaffin, Chairperson

PurposeThe objectives of the UMHB Music Department are to equip students for a vocation in

music, to develop musical awareness in all University students, and to provide listening andlearning opportunities which serve the cultural needs of the community. These objectives arefulfilled by offering a curriculum designed to secure a level of basic musicianship commensu-rate with other schools of similar goals and resources. This basic musicianship is developedthrough studies which prepare the student to function in a variety of musical roles that aresupportive of the student’s major concentration.

All musicians, whether performers, composers, scholars, or teachers, share common profes-sional needs. Every musician must, to some extent, be a performer, a listener, a historian, acomposer, a theorist, and a teacher. For this reason, certain subject matter and learning pro-cesses are common to all baccalaureate degrees in Music. UMHB’s undergraduate musiccurriculum provides the following:

1. A conceptual understanding of such musical properties as sound, rhythm, melody, har-mony, texture, and form and opportunities for developing a comprehensive grasp of theirinterrelationships as they form the cognitive-affective basis for listening, composing, andperforming.

2. Repeated opportunities for enacting, in a variety of ways, the roles of listener (analysis),performer (interpretation), composer (creation), and scholar (research).

3. A repertory for study that embraces all cultures and historical periods.The UMHB Music Department is a member of the Texas Association of Music Schools.

Degree Offerings and RequirementsThe UMHB Music Department offers a Bachelor of Music (B.M.) degree with four possible

majors—Church Music, Composition, Music Education, and Performance. The program lead-ing to the B.M. degree with a major in Music Education conforms to the certificationrequirements of the Texas Education Agency.

A Bachelor of Music degree requires a minimum of 130 semester hours of study. Require-ments include the academic foundation page 87 and a major area specialization page 186-187.

A minor in Music requires a minimum of twenty-four semester hours of specific coursespage 187.

No Music course in which a grade lower than “C” was obtained will count toward ful-fillment of a major or minor in Music. Performance majors will not receive applied musiccredit for grades of “C” or below in their principal medium.

A General Handbook published by the Music Department contains specific degree and otherspecial requirements. All Music majors and minors should acquire a copy of this GeneralHandbook.

Admission to the ProgramStudents seeking entrance into the music program as a major or minor will be evaluated on

the basis of present criteria which may exceed general admission requirements listed in theUniversity Catalog, page 21. Note: Admission to UMHB does not constitute automatic accep-tance into the Department of Music as a major or minor.

All students desiring acceptance and admission into the Department of Music to pursue theBachelor of Music degree or the 24 semester hours minor in music must meet the followingrequirements:

• Successful Admission into the University;• Revealed success in high school music courses (or the equivalent) via transcripts, pro-

grams, etc.;

184

• Demonstrated basic knowledge of the rudiments of music by taking a fundamentals ofmusic placement test, or by earning a "C" or better grade in MUSI 1320 Introducation toTheory and Aural Skills;

• Completion of a formal audition (including sight-reading) revealing the possession ofsufficient skills in one's musical performance medium;

• Letters of recommendation from at least two active music professionals.Upon successful completion and verification of each requirement the music faculty will

vote to accept the candidate. Provisional acceptance may be given for one (1) semester if theapplicant has not completed the five requirements above. All requirements must be success-fully completed by the end of one semester in order to earn full acceptance into the musicmajor or minor degree plan. Transfer students must adhere to the above requirements. Stu-dents with more than 45 semester hours of transfer credit will be on probation until theSophomore Barrier (MUSI 2000) has been passed. (See Tests, Departmental Barrier belowfor further information.)

After acceptance and admission in the music degree program music majors will designate amajor track of study. Music Education, Church Music, Composition and Performance con-stitute the four available fields of concentration or emphasis. Note to Performance majors:Due to the high degree of music performance expectation of this track, students pursuingthe Performance major will be granted probationary status until successful completion oftwo semesters of study (freshman level). At that time candidates must be formally approved byfaculty in their particular applied music medium to continue as performance majors.

The requirements for entrance into UMHB and the Department of Music set forth in thiscatalog are in accordance with the published regulations and standards of the National Asso-ciation of Schools of Music.

TestsPlacement: All entering Music students (freshman and transfer) must take a placement test

in music theory, piano, and their applied principal. First-semester-freshman Music studentsmust take the Theory Placement Exam before registering for classes to determine readiness forMUSI 1331. Transfer students will be placed upon review of the official transcript(s) of theirformer schools. Additionally, transfer placement may be affected by the Departmental Bar-rier and Piano Proficiency tests. (See below.)

Departmental Barrier (MUSI 2000): All music majors must take this exam at the comple-tion of their third semester of full-time study (45 semester hours). If the test is failed, the studentis allowed to take it a second time. Under no circumstances will a student be allowed to continuepursuing the Bachelor of Music degree as a music major if the Barrier has not been passed by thecompletion of the fourth semester of study. Requirements for the Exam are published by theDepartment of Music. Transfer students must take and pass this exam to be removed from proba-tionary status. They will be allowed to enroll in upper level classes for one semester while onprobation, but they must pass the test before enrolling for the second semester of upper levelcourses. As already stated two attempts to pass the exam are permitted.

Achievement: All Music majors and minors taking applied music must take an achievementtest at the end of each semester. Solo recitals may take the place of the achievement test.

Proficiency: All Music majors, minors, and teacher certification candidates must pass aPiano Proficiency Test. Transfer students must show documentation that an equivalent examwas passed previously or, they must enroll in Applied Piano and take the Piano ProficiencyExam (MUSI 2005).These students must also pass a proficiency examination in their appliedprincipal. Performance majors must pass an “advanced-level” proficiency test (MUSI 200X),as well, in order to proceed as upper-level Performance majors. Teacher certification candi-dates must pass all proficiency exams before student teaching. Requirements for these testsare published by the Department of Music.

Credit by Examination: Students of superior accomplishment may receive credit by ex-amination for certain courses page 76.

TExES Review (MUSI 4106): Music Education majors must take the TExES Review courseprior to student teaching and must show mastery of the final exam in order to proceed withstudent teaching.

Transfer CreditCredit Requirements for Transfer Students (For general institutional information regard-

ing transfer of courses, see page 68.)Credit for music courses from other institutions may be accepted with a minimum grade of

“C”. In no instance may lower level (1000-2000) courses equate to or substitute for UMHBupper level (3000-4000) courses. For additional information for transfer students regarding admission, placement and tests seepage 184.

Music ScholarshipsThe Department of Music awards scholarships annually to entering and current students

after audition. Endowed and designated awards for Music students are listed on pages 49-50.Scholarship recipients must maintain a 2.5 cumulative GPA and a 3.0 GPA in Music courses toremain eligible for the award.

Applied Music (Individual Instruction)Although not prerequisite, Music Reading Skills are needed. Individual applied music in-

struction is available in the following areas: Piano, Organ, Voice, Guitar, Woodwinds, Brass,Percussion and Strings. Group applied music instruction is offered as well. (See courses offer-ings) A practice room fee is charged to all students enrolled in applied music study.

One 30-minute lesson per week is taught for each semester-hour credit. Thus, two hours ofsemester credit equals one hour of private instruction per week and three hours of semestercredit equates to one and one-half hours of lessons each week.

Students may receive one to three semester hours of credit in an applied medium per longsemester. Three hours of applied music taken in a single medium during a semester is typicalfor Music Performance majors. Other students desiring to take 3 hours in a single appliedmedium must have permission from his/her advisor and applied music instructor before en-rolling. (While credit may be earned in more than one medium, the maximum applied musiccredit total allowed per long semester is four hours. This is due to the amount of practicerequired by each medium.) Because of the accelerated nature of summer school, however, onlyone semester hour of credit can be earned per performing medium during a single session.(The maximum applied music credit total allowed per summer session is two hours.)

Detailed technique and repertoire requirements for the various grade and credit levels areavailable in the College of Fine Arts office and from the applied music instructors.

All Music majors and minors must select an Applied Principal (best performing medium)and an Applied Secondary. Piano must be the Applied Secondary unless it is chosen as Princi-pal or, if piano proficiency has been demonstrated or documented.

SCOTT AND WHITECOLLEGE OF NURSING

PhilosophyThe Scott and White College of Nursing is an integral part of the University. The philoso-

phy of the College of Nursing is consistent with the purpose of the University which emphasizesinstruction in a Christian environment and service to individual students and the community.

The College of Nursing prepares graduates who, as professional nurses, contribute to thehealth and welfare of the individual, the family, and community. This outcome, supported bythe liberal arts foundation and the nursing curriculum enables graduates to realize their ownpotential as individual citizens and practitioners in the health care system.

The faculty believes that humans are bio-psycho-social-spiritual beings. The role of thenurse is to assist clients in adapting to stressors in their internal and external environmentsthroughout the life cycle. Nurses serve a diversity of clients; individuals, families, groups, andcommunities.

The faculty further believes that the professional nurse must demonstrate leadership in as-sessing, analyzing, planning, implementing and evaluating nursing care to clients. To provideleadership in aiding clients to adapt, the nurse must effectively communicate and collaboratewith the individual, family, group, community, and with others who share in the provision ofclient care. Furthermore, the faculty believes that the practice of nursing involves decision-making and problem-solving which require analytical and critical thinking based on knowledgeof the natural, behavioral, and social sciences; humanities; and nursing. The nurse must usetherapeutic interventions which include the provision of physical, psychological, and spiritualcare, health teaching, and advocacy. These interventions require skillful utilization of the nursingprocess, health care technology, and communication, and multidisciplinary referral. The pro-fessional nurse must assume responsibility and accountability for nursing practice. The nursemust continuously strive to improve as a professional and to contribute to the advancement ofthe nursing profession.

The faculty believes that learning is a dynamic process, is influenced by the learner’s indi-viduality and experiences, and is manifested by changes in behavior. The learner has the majorresponsibility for acquiring and applying knowledge. The faculty is responsible for assistingthe learner in accomplishing the program objectives by providing well-planned learning expe-riences based on sound educational principles.

Program GoalsTo provide a curriculum which:1. Enables graduates to enter first-level professional nursing positions.2. Is based on Christian principles, liberal arts, sciences, and the discipline of nursing.3. Focuses on persons of all ages who are adapting to stressors which influence their health

status.4. Encourages life-long learning and provides a foundation for graduate study.5. Promotes involvement in both professional and community organizations and activities.

Program ObjectivesUpon completion of the prescribed curriculum in nursing, it is expected that graduates of theprogram will be able to:1. Provide nursing care which includes health promotion, diagnosis and treatment of the

human responses to health problems.2. Make practice decisions in nursing based on synthesis of theoretical and empirical

knowledge from natural, social and behavioral sciences, humanities and nursing.3. Utilize the nursing process in providing nursing care to individuals, families, groups, and

communities.4. Utilize effective communication in establishing relationships and working

collaboratively with clients and health professionals.

203

5. Assume responsibility and accountability for own nursing practice.6. Demonstrate leadership in the practice of professional nursing and in the delivery of

health care services.7. Integrate professional values and ethical, moral, and legal aspects of nursing into

2. Basic Skills RequirementsSBEC requires that all teacher preparation programs evaluate each candidate’s compe-tence in the following 5 areas.

1) reading2) mathematics3) writing4) public speaking5) critical thinking

Competence in public speaking is evaluated by having the student take and pass a coursein public speaking with a C or above. All other criteria are measured by the student’sperformance on some test. Currently, the tests being accepted include the Texas HigherEducation Assessment (THEA), the ACT, and the SAT.

The university reserves the right to add other tests to satisfy one or more of the require-ments, if a good test becomes available.

The THEA is the standard choice. Students wishing to use ACT or SAT scores are respon-sible for evaluating whether their ACT and/or SAT scores meet the equivalent scoreson the THEA to meet the requirements.

STEP (Successful Teaching Empowered by Partnerships) for EC-4 and 4-8Over the last several years, the teacher preparation program has undergone extensive revi-

sion to become more effective and in line with research about effective teaching practices. Onemajor change was the creation of the STEP program, which incorporates field-based coursestaught on public school campuses, which allows teachers-in-training to work with students inthe classroom to get hands-on experience.

The STEP program is rather structured and works best for students when they take the coursesin the planned sequence. Although the actual STEP program starts in the first semester of thejunior year, there are a few courses that should be taken during the freshman and sophomoreyears. Following is the recommended sequence. Students are encouraged to stay with the se-quence, even if they go part time and need more than one semester to complete each STEP.
