CORE TRANSITION GUIDELINES

Below are the guidelines that should be applied regarding the College's Core Requirements for students who:

Values Inquiry and Meaning I

Three courses are no longer being offered beginning Fall 2004:
LASM 101
LASM 102
RHET 101

The viable substitutions for these three courses are:
LASM 101 - you may take either REL 101 or REL 102.
LASM 102 - you may take either REL 101 or REL 102.
LASM 101 and LASM 102 - you must take both REL 101 and REL 102.
RHET 101 - you must take ENGL 103.

In each of the above cases, you may use the College's grade replacement policy (as indicated in the email correspondence from President West on 11/20/03).

NOTE: If you successfully completed (grade of "D" or higher), the three aforementioned courses, you may not enroll in REL 101, REL 102, ENGL 103 or ENGL 104. In addition, unless you need (or are required) to take REL 101, REL 102, ENGL 103 or ENGL 104 as described above, you will not be permitted to enroll in these courses in the near future as these four courses are required for the incoming freshman classes, and there are simply not enough sections to cover additional students.

Values Inquiry and Meaning II

Four courses are no longer being offered beginning Fall 2004:
CRS 150 The Bible and Culture
CRS 330 Advanced Topics in Cultural and Religious Studies
LASM 201
LASM 202

The viable substitutions for these four courses are:
REL 201 Introduction to Christian Theology
REL 250 Christian Ethics
REL 311 Torah & Prophets (Hebrew Scriptures)
REL 312 Jesus & Gospels (New Testament Scriptures)
REL 313 Wisdom and Poetic Literature (Hebrew Scriptures)
