Below are the guidelines that should be applied regarding the College's
Core Requirements for students who:
are under any catalog from the 1996-1997 academic year to the 2003-2004 academic year, and
have not yet completed the core requirements for Values Inquiry and Meaning I, II or the Social and Self Awareness catagory.
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

The viable substitutions for these four courses are: REL 201 Introduction to Christian Theology

REL 313 Wisdom and Poetic Literature (Hebrew Scriptures)
