THE COLLEGE MAIN CAMPUS
Now more than a decade into its second century, Clarion State College has successively been Carrier Seminary, a state normal school, a state teachers' college, and since 1960a state college. Each phase of this development has marked a stage in the continuing effort of the institution to respond to the educational needs and aspirations of increasing numbers of students. The college is proud to be a public institution of higher education belonging to the people whom it serves, for public education is a manifestation of the self-evident truth that a factor of utmost importance in the preservation and improvement of any society is the education of its people and that in a free society placing this respon- sibility upon public institutions of learning is compatible and consistent with the philosophical concepts of democracy.
Today, Clarion State College is a multi-purpose institution with an enrollment of approximately 5200 students offering associate degrees in three areas; more than sixty baccalaureate programs leading to the Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Fine Arts, and Bachelor of Science; and twelve graduate programs leading to the Master of Arts, Master of Business Administration, Master of Education, Master of Science, and Master of Science in Library Science. It is the goal of the college to offer high quality educational programs staffed by excellent faculty within a learning environment in which the rights of all people are respected.
The main campusof thecollege contains ninety-nine acresand thirty- eight buildings, the majority of which were constructed within the past twenty years. Beyond the main campus, situated at the west end of the town of Clarion, is a 27-acre athletic complex with football, baseball and practice fields and Memorial Stadium, seating 5,000 spectators. The college is within the Borough of Clarion some two miles north of Inter- state 80 at Exits 9 and 10 and is approximately two and one half hours driving time from the urban centersof Pittsburgh, Erie, and Youngstown. High on the Allegheny Plateau overlooking the Clarion River, the rural setting is in the midst of one of Pennsylvania's most scenic resort areas. The rolling wooded countryside, interspersed with small farms, affords some of the most enjoyable outdoor activities to be found anywhere in northwestern Pennsylvania, and the Clarion River provides an excellent setting for summer boating, swimming, and aquatic sports. Clarion also administers the Ivan McKeever Environmental Education Center in Mercer County, with modern building facilities in the midst of a two hundred acre wooded area near Sandy Lake, Pennsylvania.
Among facilities supporting programs at Clarion State College are Carlson Library housed in a modern library building with a large and
continually growing collection, the George R. Lewis Computer Center operating both IBM and Sperry-Univac computers and associated equipment, modern science laboratories having excellent instrumentation, well equipped support areas for special education and speech pathology and audiology, a modern business administration building, technologically equipped classrooms for library science, radio and television studios and experimental audio-visual facilities in the School of Communication, and a writing center, tutorial services, and a counseling center to assist students who can benefit from these services.

Office: 220 Egbert Hall Telephone: 226-2351

To assist this development, various student personnel services are provided. These services enable those enrolled in the college to perform more adequately as students and to derive benefits from the academic, cultural, and social and recreational opportunities offered by the campus environment. In addition, every administrative and teaching member of the faculty is charged with the responsibility of assisting students to select and achieve goals consistent with the ideals of a college community.
STUDENT PERSONNEL SERVICES
COLLEGE-SUPERVISED HOUSING — RESIDENCE HALLS
The College Housing Policy states, "The College considers the residential experience to be an important part of a student's educational program. Housing space will be distributed in proportion to the demand by class with special consideration given a student upon recommendation by either the Student Affairs Staff Health Center or Counseling Staff."
Within each residence hall, there is a cross-section of students representing most aspects of the highly divergent student body, and the housing assignments are made without regard to race, religion, color, ancestry, or national origin. Hall and roommate preferences stated on housing applications are given consideration in making assignments and are honored whenever possible.
11
The contract for assignment to residence halls is for an entire semester unless otherwise specified. The only grounds for an automatic release from the contract are withdrawal from the College orachange in student teaching or internship assignment. Students who marry during the period of the contract are usually released upon request, but it cannot be guaranteed that these or any other requests for releases will be granted either in Commonwealth or privately-owned facilities.
Housing and food service fees are payable at the same time that other college fees become due. Refunds cannot be made unless the student withdraws from college or is granted a contract release. The amount refunded for housing fee is listed in the "Refunds" section of this catalog. Food service fees refunds are governed by a prorated schedule available in the Business Office.
A separate housing and food service application must be submitted for each year. All students returning to residence halls must submit a housing application card at the announced time. Housing information and applications will be mailed to new students prior to registration. After a room assignment is made, the student will be issued contracts to be signed and returned with a non-refundable deposit.
Housing and food services are provided only on a combined basis for students living in the residence halls. Housing and food service contracts may not be transferred or assigned. The meal ticket may be used only by the student to whom it is issued, and a room may be occupied only by the student to whom it is assigned.
Student rooms in the residence halls are furnished with beds, desks, chairs, dressers and closets. Students should plan to furnish pillows, blankets, linen, bed spreads, and small throw rugs. Radios and record players are permitted if they are operated with due consideration for others.
Students are not permitted to keep guns or firearms in their on- campus living quarters. The Department of Public Safety will store these types of articles for students. Students are free to check these items in and out of the Department of Public Safety at their discretion.
OFF-CAMPUS HOUSING
Students not residing in College-supervised housing live in fraternity houses, rental facilities in the community, or at their own homes. The Housing Office maintains a limited listing of available housing in the community. Householders listing available facilities must comply with all local, state, and federal regulations pertaining to rental units. Other sources of information are local newspapers and realtors.
All arrangements for housing in the community are a business arrangement between the student and the householder. The College does not approve or make recommendations to private, off-campus housing accommodations.
12
FOOD SERVICE
Wholesome, well-balanced meals are provided in Chandler, Forest Manor, and Montgomery Dining Halls by a reputable food service com- pany. All students living in residence halls are required to eat their meals in a dining hall. Students not living in residence halls may contract for their meals at Chandler Hall on a semester basis.

Those students who have other insurance coverage equal or better than the coverage of the group plan offered are not expected to purchase this policy offered through the college.
13
COUNSELING SERVICE

Counseling Center staff provide professional services related to developmental, educational, and vocational goals as well as to problems of personal, social, and emotional adjustment. The services of the Counseling Center are available without charge to all regularly enrolled Clarion State College students.
Most students request counseling on their own initiative. Some, however, need encouragement from others to seek counseling assist- ance. These students may be referred by instructors, academic advisors, residence hall staff, administrators, parents, or fellow students. Those seeking counseling services are not just the marginal or immature students; frequently the exceptionally able and conscientious students require the benefit of professional help in the counseling setting.
In keeping with accepted professional practice, counseling contacts with students are strictly confidential. No information is released to officers of the administration, faculty members, parents, graduate schools, governmental officals, or other outside agencies without the student's written authorization in advance. Rare exceptions totheabove policy may occur when, in the counselor's professional opinion, there is a clear, immediate threat to the life or welfare of the student himself, to other students, or the community at large.
For students to need psychiatric evaluation and/or therapy, the Counseling Center maintains a referral service with the Venango County Mental Health Center.
HEALTH SERVICE
The Student Health Service is located in the Edward J. Keeling Health Services Center at the corner of Wood Street and Wilson Avenue. The Health Service provides for general health care needs of enrolled students.
The Health Service is staffed by registered nurses 24 hours per day, seven days a week for out-patient and in-patient care. A physician is present and holds regular hours throughout the week and is available on emergency call from the nursing staff during nights and weekends. Students with routine illnesses and minor injuries will be seen by the physician only during the regularly scheduled clinic hours.
In addition to illnesses and injuries, routine physical examinations, and information counseling, some immunizations and allergy or other injections prescribed by personal physicians are available.
Most commonly used medications are available to students on physician's orders. Some less used medications must be prescribed and purchased at a pharmacy by the student. Medical equipment such as
14
crutches, canes, slings, braces, etc., are available and may be loaned to students.
House calls are not made by the Health Service staff and only under emergency circumstances are calls made to a residence hall.
A student is expected to provide his own transportation to and from the Health Service, except for emergencies as determined by the Health Service staff or a college official. Transportation to and from the Health Service and/or to and from the Clarion Community Hospital for labora- tory studies or other medical services is also determined by the above regulations.
Ambulance transportation to surrounding hospitals will be at the student's expense.
The Health Service has no x-ray facilities and limited laboratory facilities. For the vast majority of these studies, the facilities of the local hospital are utilized on a physician's written order for the type of exami- nation desired at the student's expense.
All students are strongly encouraged to enroll in the college sponsored insurance program, or carry protection through a family hos- pitalization insurance program.
See page 49 for detail on Health Center fees.
CAREER PLACEMENT SERVICES
The Office of Career Planning and Placement provides services related to career information and placement to all students and alumni who desire them. Seminars are conducted for juniors and seniors concerning necessary job entry skills. Graduate school information is also maintained along with various test applications for entry into graduate school.
The Office of Career Planning and Placement assists Clarion State College graduates in obtaining entry-level positions and advanced-level positions, as well as part-time and summer jobs. Vacancy notices are received from school systems, government agencies, business, industry and various organizations. These notices are relayed to interested persons. Assistance is provided to college students and personnel officials in arranging employment interviews. Placement credentials are prepared and distributed, upon request, to prospective employers in support of the applicant's candidacy. A listing of graduates, including their home address, phone number, and area of concentration is pre- pared and mailed to prospective employers, upon request, to facilitate the graduate in obtaining a position. Any student who does not wish to be placed on the list may have his/her name removed upon request.
Services are provided for students seeking career information, career changes, resume and credential preparation, application completion, interviewing techniques and procedures, and various state certification requirements for education. Current seniors, as well as graduates of
15
former years, are urged to maintain their contacts with the office as a means of facilitating professional entry and promotion.
PARKING AND AUTOMOBILE REGULATIONS
All provisions of the Vehicle Code of the Commonwealth of Pennsyl- vania as supplemented by parking regulations issued by the Secretary of Education will be strictly enforced on the Clarion State College Campus. Authority for such enforcement rests with the Director of Public Safety. Persons failing to pay fines will be reported to the District Magistrate and upon conviction will be subject to penalties provided by law.
All persons who possess, maintain, or operate a motor vehicle on campus are required to register such vehicle with the Department of Public Safety. Registering a vehicle does not guarantee a parking space.
1. Persons qualifying for campus parking privileges will be issued a decal indicating that this privilege has been granted and will be assigned to a specific parking area.
2. Any person acquiring the use of a motor vehicle after the regular registration period who intends to operate the vehicle on campus must register the vehicle within twenty-four hours with the Office of the Director of Public Safety. Motor vehicles must be registered even when their use is intermittent rather than regular.
STUDENT ACTIVITIES
Student activities of Clarion are viewed as another means of self- development. Therefore, the responsibility for the success of any activity or organization must rest with the students involved and ample oppor- tunity exists for gaining experience in leadership and self-government.
STUDENT GOVERNMENT
Through participation in student government, students have an opportunity to gain experience in democratic living and self-govern- ment. All students become members of the Clarion Students' Association upon payment of the CSA activity fee and, thereby, are eligible to participate in the election of the Student Senate, the governing body of the Association. The Student Senate is responsible for expenditure of student activity fees through allocations to the various activities and organizations. The Senate has an important relationship to other Association operations such as the College Book Center and the Student Centers. It also appoints student representatives to various standing committees of the college.
Other opportunities for self-government are provided through the
16
governing boards of the Association of Women Students, Panhellenic Council, Interfraternity Council, College Center Board, Inter-Hall Council, and residence hall councils.
The full utilization of this leadership is a very necessary element of success in any college or university and the maximum development of the leadership potential of each student must be considered an impor- tant part of the educational process. It is a well established fact that even though a college may have an excellent faculty and physical plant, it cannot attain true excellence unless it also has a capable and energetic student body able and willing to accept the responsibilities inherent in leadership.
ACTIVITIES PROGRAM
The purpose of an extensive and varied activities program on campus is to make the College experience richer and more enjoyable. Clarion State College is fortunate to have a wide variety of activities available to its students.
Many of the major cultural and entertainment functions are sponsored by committees of the College Center Board from student activity fees allocated to it by Student Senate. Examples of such programs are Home- coming Weekend, coffeehouses, campus movies, Miss CSC Pageant, pop concerts, and special performances by noted orchestras, drama groups, speakers, etc. The Black Arts Festival, Distinguished Scholar Lecture Series, intercollegiate athletics, and music and drama perfor- mances by CSC students and staff are important parts of the total activities program. Honoraries, clubs, and special interest groups further round out this program with speakers, movies, and service projects on and off campus.
Although many of these activities take place in Chandler Dining Hall, the Chapel, Marwick-Boyd Auditorium, and Tippin Gym, the two basic facilities for students are Harvey Hall and Riemer Center. Harvey Hall provides facilities for table tennis and games; a meeting area; vending area; offices for various student organizations; and the office of the Coordinator of Student Activities. Riemer Center, opened in the spring of 1972, provides a snack area with adjoining coffeehouse, a TV lounge, a conference room, a games area, a listening room, Center Board Office, and the office of the Director of College Centers.
The following professional organizations and special interest groups are active on campus. Information on athletics, musical groups, speech activities, student publications, and fraternities and sororities is included later in this section.

CREDIT BY EXAMINATION
1. C.L.E.P.
A maximum of 60 credits may be earned through the College-Level Examination Program (C.L.E.P.) administered by the College Entrance Examination Board.

GRADE RELEASE POLICY
Public Law 93-380 (The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974) prohibits the release of educational records, other than to certain defined exceptions, without the student's consent. One such exception is Section 438 (b) (1 ) (H) which allows release of educational records to, "Parents of a dependent student of such parents, as defined in Section 152 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954."
Under the provisions of Section 438, the Academic Affairs Office will send grades to parents. Students who are not dependents, meaning they are not so claimed by their parents for income tax purposes, may have their grades withheld from their parents by filing a request at the Records Office that their grades are not to be sent home, and presenting evidence of non-dependency.
INDEPENDENT STUDY
Independent study opportunities are available to students dependent upon faculty and financial resources available. Acceptance of students for independent study is voluntary on the part of a faculty member and must be approved by the appropriate department chairman, school dean, and the Vice President for Academic Affairs. Students accepted for independent study are upon request entitled to five hours of faculty time for each hour of independent study credit carried.
NONDISCRIMINATION ON THE BASIS OF HANDICAP
Federal Law (Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973) provides that no qualified handicapped person shall, on the basis of handicap, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or otherwise be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity that receives or benefits from federal financial assistance. This provision of law applies to Clarion State College and the effect of this law is to ensure that:
(1) no one may be excluded from any course, or course of study, on account of handicap;
(2) classes may be rescheduled for students with mobility impairment if they are scheduled for inaccessible classrooms;
(3) academic degree or course requirements may be modified in certain instances to ensure full participation by handicapped students;
(4) alternate methods of testing and evaluation are available in all courses offered by the college for students with requirements for such methods;
(5) auxiliary aids are made available by the college for students with impaired sensory, manual, or speaking skills;
31
(6) certain campus rules and regulations may be waived if they limit the participation of handicapped students; and
(7) housing opportunities, employment opportunities, and other oppor- tunities for handicapped students are equal to those of non-handi- capped students.
As part of the college registration process, students are provided with a form on which they may list any special accommodations required due to handicap. If a student experiences difficulty in obtaining such special accommodations, the student may submit an appeal or grievance to the department head or other college official responsible for the accommo- dation and, if necessary, to the Section 504 coordinator.
RESERVE OFFICERS TRAINING CORPS (ROTC)
Clarion State College hosts a detachment of the US Army Reserve Officer Training Corps. Enrollment in ROTC incurs no military obligation whatsoever and allows the student the option of competing for a one, two or three year ROTC scholarship.
Upon graduation from Clarion and successful completion of the Advanced course ROTC program, the student will receive a commission as a Second Lieutenant in the United States Army. Newly commissioned officers have the option of serving three years active duty orserving with the Army Reserve or National Guard.
Students seeking advanced degrees can be granted an educational delay by the Army following completion of their baccalaureate degrees. Additional information can be obtained at the Military Science office. Curriculum details are presented elsewhere in this catalog.
RESIDENCE REQUIREMENT
To be eligible for a baccalaureate degree at Clarion State College, a student must earn a minimum of 30 semester hours credit in residence. These 30 semester hours must be approved by the appropriate school dean and department chairman of the academic area in which the degree is to be granted.
Students may earn a second baccalaureate degree at Clarion State College by completing a minimum of 30credit hours (excluding physical education activities) beyond those taken for the first degree and by completing all of the requirements for the second degree. Students who remain in continuous residence at Clarion State College after obtaining one degree may go on to finish the second in a total of 158 credit hours, but students who have been graduated from Clarion and left the college and students who have a baccalaureate degree from another institution, must complete a minimum of 30 additional credit hours for a second degree regardless of the number taken for the first degree.
32
STUDENT RECORDS
Student academic and personal records are confidential in nature and shall be released only to appropriate faculty and administrative officers and to parents and guardians if the student is a dependent. Release of these records to other persons, institutions, or governmental and legal agencies shall occur only upon approval by the student or graduate or upon subpoena.
Transcripts of academic work are available to the student or graduate at the Records Office when requested by him or her in writing. The first transcript is free; thereafter, the charge is $3.00 per transcript.

STUDENT RESPONSIBILITY FOR ACADEMIC PROGRAM
Each student is individually and personally responsible for learning the requirements of the curriculum which he or she is following and for seeing that these requirements are scheduled and completed for graduation. It should also be understood that information and policies presented in this catalog are subject to change before a new edition is published. However, curriculum and program changes occurring after a student has entered a program are not made retroactive for that student.
POLICY ON CLASS ATTENDANCE
The college recognizes that the grade a student earns in a course should be a measure of comprehension and achievement. Regular class attendance promotes both of these goals. Therefore, the concept here is that the student has the responsibility for regular class attendance. It is understood that a decision to be absent from regularly scheduled classes, for whatever reason, does not excuse the student from responsi- bility for examinations, knowledge of assignments, orthe learnings to be facilitated by the class. Absence due to an assigned field trip or other official college business will constitute an excused absence with make- up privileges. Otherwise, make-up of class work orexaminationsisatthe discretion of the instructor. This policy is administered at the student- instructor level.
INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION — STUDY ABROAD
Clarion State College offers an inexpensive summer program in Mexico. Designed for students who are not majoring in Spanish, the program includes, in addition to language instruction, a variety of
33
cultural and social experiences. Participants earn six academic credits. Many students participate in the program as an alternative means of meeting the foreign language requirements for the B.A. degree.
Clarion students may take advantage of a seven-week summer session at the University of Valencia on the Mediterranean coast of Spain. Courses in Spanish language and literature are offered at all levels, from first semester Spanish through in-service teacher graduate work. Week-end excursions in the area and a long trip include Alicante, Granada, Cordoba, Sevilla, and Madrid.

The Summer Program at Laval University has many exciting features: large selection of courses, beautiful campus, excellent food, many cultural activities, and sightseeing trips in historical Quebec city and French Canada where the French settled 400 years ago.
American students have the opportunity while studying at Laval to live with French speaking families.
The Department of Modern Languages and Cultures also makes individual arrangements with students for study programs at the University of Stuttgart and other universities in Germany, and similar programs at French universities.
The Committee on International Education at Clarion with the Federation of German-American Clubs in Germany, has established a one-for-one student exchange with a Clarion student sponsored at a German university while a German student studies at Clarion.
Many additional international programs on all continents are available through the Clarion Fulbright Advisor.
THE 1982 SUMMER SESSION
The Summer Session is maintained for the benefit of regular college students as well as for teachers in service and others. By taking advantage of the summer sessions, teachers can secure the professional training needed to meet the requirements for professional certification. Advanced courses are offered in the summer sessions for the benefit of teachers and others who desire to secure credits toward a degree in education or for permanent certification. Workshops are being added for those interested in special problems in education. Liberal Arts, Business Administration, and Graduate courses are also an important part of the summer schedule.
Clarion is attractive to those who desire to combine work with recrea- tion during the summer. The high elevation provides a pleasant climate, and the area offers opportunities for boating, swimming, hiking, riding, and other outdoor activities. There are two consecutive five-week periods of classes. The first starts on June 7 and ends July 10. The
34
second starts July 12 and ends August 13. Interested students should write the Dean of Summer Sessions for particulars.

3. Health and physical vigor: Clarion State College subscribes to and supports in letter and spirit Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (Public Law 93-112), which prohibits discrimination on the basis of handicap. Therefore, the role of Admissions in application of this criterion is to be aware of the institutional obligation under Section 504 and to help the applicant understand that the college wishes to support his/her efforts to meet the requirements of a program he/she chooses. In instances in which a student has a handicap which would render success in a chosen field unlikely, the matter should be brought to the attention of the director who will alert the appropriate dean so that reasonable counseling may be used. Specific questions related to this criterion should be referred to the Director.
4. Request the College Entrance Examination Board or the American College Testing Program to forward aptitude test scores to Clarion.
All liberal arts applicants and education applicants who intend to major in a foreign language must schedule an achievement test in the language, if that language has been studied in high school. The achieve- ment tests are administered by the College Entrance Examination Board. Arrangements to take the tests may be made through the high school counselor.
TRANSFER POLICY AND
ADMISSION WITH ADVANCED STANDING
Applicants transferring from other institutions will not be accepted without official transcripts of credit and certificates of honorable dismissal. A transfer student must have a minimum of one year's residence (30 semester hours of credit) at Clarion to qualify for a degree from Clarion.
Credit will be given for acceptable courses pursued in accredited collegiate institutions in which the student has made grades of A, B, or C.

WITHDRAWALS
All class withdrawals must be made through the Office of Academic Services. Classes from which a student withdraws during the first two weeks of a semester will not appear on his record. Withdrawals between the end of the second and ninth weeks may be made without penalty. After the beginning of the tenth week of a semester or the second half of a summer session, a course from which a student withdraws shall be finally reported with a grade of "E." Exceptions may be made for withdrawals due to extenuating circumstances such as illness or some other unavoid- able occurrence.
If a student is on probation at the time of withdrawal from all classes and the withdrawal is after the twelfth week of the semester, he will not be
37
permitted to return for the following semester unless the withdrawal is based on extenuating circumstances.
If a withdrawal is not made through the office of Academic Services, a failing grade will be recorded for the affected course(s).
Any student who withdraws from the college either during or at the end of a semester must notify the Office of Academic Services of his intention to withdraw and the reason for withdrawal. This is necessary for completion of the student's permanent record. Failure to comply with this regulation will constitute an unofficial withdrawal and may affect the student's chances of future readmission or his obtaining an honorable dismissal.
SCHOLARSHIP REQUIREMENTS
Student progress is normally reported once each semester. At the end of the first six weeks, each staff member submits to the Office of Academic Services a report of all freshman students doing unsatis- factory work in their classes. These reports are recorded and then passed on to the students.

SCHOLARSHIP REQUIREMENTS
GENERAL POLICIES
Scholarship policy at Clarion State College is formulated by the Sub- committee on Academic Standards, which is a sub-committee of the Faculty Senate.
Scholastic standing of students is determined on the basis of quality point system in which a grade of "A" equals 4 quality points per semester hour; "B" equals 3; "C" equals 2; "D" equals 1; and "E" equals 0. The number of quality points earned in a single course for one semester is determined by multiplying the quality point value of the course grade by the number of semester hours in the course; thus, a grade of "A" in a three semester hour course has a quality point value of 12. A student's quality point average at any specific time is determined by dividing the total number of quality ponts earned in all courses by the total number of semester hours of credit attempted. For example, if a student earns a total of 30 quality points from 15 semester hours of course work in a single semester, his/her quality point average for the semester is 2.00.
At the end of each semester, a student's quality point average is calculated for that semester and also for all the course work he/she has taken up to and including the semester just completed. The latter is known as the cumulative quality point average.
Scholarship policy for two year programs requires that a student earn a minimum quality point average of 1 .75 his/her first semester and a 2.00 his/her second semester and thereafter in order to be in satisfactory academic standing. His/her cumulative quality point average should be 2.00 by the end of the second semester.
In order to remain in the Medical Technology Program, students must maintain the following grade point average; first semester freshmen, 2.0; second semester freshmen and first semester sophomores, 2.5; there- after 3.0 with a 3.25 in the natural sciences. Exceptions to these require- ments must be approved by the Coordinator of Medical Technology.
Admission to the Medical Technology Program at the college does
39
not guarantee admission to the year in the hospital laboratory. Hospital spaces are limited and admissions standards, which are under the control of the individual hospitals, are quite high.
Teacher Education students, in order to qualify for student teaching, must have a quality point average of at least 2.00 in all fields in which they are seeking certification and a cumulative quality point average of 2.00 for all their academic work. They must also have completed satisfactorily the general education requirement in English. Students having six or more semester hours of reported failure in a field of certification or in professional education courses shall not be assigned to student teaching.
All candidates for undergraduate degrees must have a minimum of 128 semester hours of credit (Music Education requires 130-131) and a cumulative average of 2.00 for all academic work and must have met the general education requirement in English in order to qualify for graduation.
CLASS STANDINGS
Class standings (freshmen, sophomores, etc.) are determined by credits earned rather than by semesters of residence: Freshmen, 1-28 credits; Sophomores, 29-59 credits; Juniors, 60-89 credits; Seniors, 90 + credits.
GOOD ACADEMIC STANDING
To be in good academic standing, undergraduate students must maintain a minimum quality point average of 2.00 for both semester and cumulative averages.
SATISFACTORY PROGRESS TOWARD A DEGREE
In order to continue to receive any Title IV assistance, a full time student must be "maintaining satisfactory progress" in his or hercourse of study. Section 497 (e) of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended, requires an institution of postsecondary education to have standards of satisfactory progress. If an institution or school does not have any standards, it can neither commit nor disburse any Title IV assistance to its students because it has no means of complying with the statute.
The requirement that a full time student be making satisfactory progress should not be confused with the good academic standing requirement. A conceptual difference exists between the two. Good academic standing means that a full time student is allowed by the insti- tution to continue in enrollment. Satisfactory progress means that the regular student is proceeding in a positive manner toward fulfilling degree or certificate requirements in his or her course of study.
A full time student must be certified by the institution as making satis-
40
factory progress before receiving any additional Title IV assistance, including GSL checks. This certification must be completed prior to the beginning of each new payment period.
Under the guidelines governing grant programs, including the PHEAA grant program, a student must satisfactorily complete a minimum of 24 new credit hours per year, including summer, to maintain grant eligibility. As a result of the amendments of 1 980, the same 24 hours per year will also apply to all guaranty student loans.
ACADEMIC PROBATION
Students falling below the 2.00 standard in either the semester or cumulative average will be placed on academic probation effective the next semester of attendance.
Students on academic probation who achieve at least a 2.00 semester average are continued on probation if their cumulative averages are less than 2.00. Students with cumulative averages less than 2.00 who fail to achieve at least a 2.00 semester average while on probation will be suspended, with one exception: second semester freshmen who achieve at least a 1.75 semester average will not be suspended.
ACADEMIC SUSPENSION
1. Most suspensions become effective at the end of the spring semester. The Academic Standards Subcommittee recognizes that sometimes extenuating circumstances, frequently beyond the student's control, contribute to poor academic performance. In these situations, the Academic Standards Subcommittee acts as an appeals board to consider whether the circumstances merit rescinding the suspension. Students should not expect an appeal to automatically result in rescinding the suspension; each case is handled individually on its own merits.
2. Students notified of academic suspension have the following alternatives:
a. The student may accept the suspension.
b. The student may attend summer sessions at Clarion. If the student earns the required cumulative average by the end of the summer, the suspension will be rescinded.
c. The student may appeal the suspension, in writing, to the Academic Standards Subcommittee if there is sufficient reason to warrant an appeal. Such petitions should be filed (by January 15 for spring semester enrollment and August 15 for fall semester enrollment) with the Office of Academic Services.
The format of the appeal should follow the guidelines given under Readmission below.
3. Students who are placed on probation or suspension are informed by letter, a copy of which is also sent to the student's parents or
41
guardian if the student is a dependent as defined elsewhere in this catalog.
READMISSION
The student appealing an academic suspension or applying for readmission after an academic suspension must apply in writing to the Office of Academic Services. Deadlines are August 15 to enroll for the fall semester and January 15 to enroll for the spring semester.
Use the following guidelines when writing the petition. If possible, include independent documentation and/or references in the petition.
1. A statement indicating why the academic performance was so poor.
2. A statement indicating how the student expects to improve his/her academic performance and how he/she intends to correct the problem as stated in item 1.
3. If possible, a statement concerning the projected course of study, if a change of majors is planned.
4. If a student is returning to school after a suspension, he/she should indicate what he/she has been doing since he/she last attended Clarion.
5. Any other statements and supporting evidence thought helpful to the committee in deciding the petition.
MAXIMUM CREDIT HOUR LOAD
The normal credit hour for undergraduate students in good academic standing is 15 to 18 credit hours per semester. Students on academic probation should not attempt more than 12 to 15 credit hours per semester.
Students wishing to register for 18 to 21 credit hours during any one semester must have a cumulative quality point average of 3.00 or better or the written permission of the appropriate school dean. Students are required to pay for each credit over 18.
All scholastic standards noted above are subject to change by the college.
HONORS
Academic honors are recognized with a semester Dean's List and with the traditional honors designations of Cum Laude, Magna Cum Laude, and Summa Cum Laude at graduation.
To be included on the semester Dean's List, the student must achieve a semester average of 3.50 or above on a 4.00 scale in which 4.00 represents a straight "A" average. Cum Laude honors are awarded for a cumulative quality point average of 3.4 to 3.6; Magna Cum Laude for 3.6
42
to 3.8; and Summa Cum Laude for 3.8 to 4.0. In order to earn graduation honors, a student must have earned at least 32 credits at Clarion State College.
There is also an Honors Colloquium, listed in the catalog course descriptions as Honors 300, for which students are selected by invitation by the Committee for Talented Students. Contact with the Committee may be made through the Academic Affairs Office or a School Dean's Office.
For information concerning honorary kinds of recognition that may be accorded by various schools and departments, the student should inquire at the office of his/her major department and/or the office of the dean of the school in which he/she is enrolled.

Students taking fewer than twelve semester hours may take advantage of the program by paying the fee. The fee is $45.00 each semester. Student Activity Fee for Summer Sessions is $1 .00 per week (fees are subject to change). The Activity Fee must be paid prior to or at the time of registration.
A. Activity Fee refunds are governed by the following policy: Refunds are not granted on an automatic basis. To be eligible for a refund a student must officially withdraw through the Office of Academic Affairs, and also submit in writing a request to the Students' Association Office for a refund.
Upon request, a full refund of the activity fee will be granted to students who have been dismissed from the college for aca- demic reasons.
Partial refunds will be granted to students who have made an official withdrawal from the college based upon a percentage of the paid activity fee according to the following schedule:
SEMESTER WITHDRAWAL
Before registration day 100% refund
1st and 2nd week 80% refund
3rd and 4th week 60% refund
5th and 6th week 40% refund

Part-time students taking eleven (11) or fewer semester hours of credit during a semester shall pay $52.00 per credit.
C. A student who does not have a Pennsylvania domicile is classi- fied as a non-resident. Domicile is defined as the place where one intends to and does in fact permanently reside. The amounts for the activity fee, room and meal charges and costs of books and supplies are the same as for students who are Pennsylvania residents.
Determination of Pennsylvania domicile is made on the basis of documentary evidence, statements from disinterested persons, and the presumptions set forth below:
1. Continuous residence in Pennsylvania for a period of 12 months prior to initial registration creates a presumption of domicile.
2. A person attempting to establish domicile must have citi- zenship or proof of intention to become a citizen or must have been admitted to the United States on an Immigrant Visa.
3. A minor is presumed to have the domicile of parent(s) or a guardian.
4. A member of the Armed Forces who was domiciled in Pennsylvania immediately preceding entry into govern- ment service and who has continuously maintained Penn- sylvania as a legal residence, will be presumed to have a Pennsylvania domicile.
5. A student receiving a scholarship or grant dependent upon domicile in a state other than Pennsylvania, is not domiciled in Pennsylvania.
Examples of factors which may provide convincing documen- tary evidence include purchase or lease of a permanent inde- pendent residence, payment of appropriate state and local taxes, transfer of bank accounts, stock, automobile, and other registered property to Pennsylvania, driver's license, agreement for permanent full time employment, membership in organiza- tions, voter's registration, statement of intention to reside indefinitely in Pennsylvania, statement from parent(s) or guardian setting forth facts to establish a minor's financial inde- pendence and separate residence. A student may challenge residency classification by filing a
47
written petition with the Dean of Administration, Carrier Hall. If the answer is unsatisfactory, the student may make a written appeal to the office of the Secretary of Education, Harrisburg. His decision on the challenge shall be final.
D. Basic Fee for non-Pennsylvania residents for the semester amounts to $1095.00 (students taking 12 to 18 credits). Additional credits over 1 8 shall beatthe rateof $92.00 per credit.

Students have the privilege of employing their own physician at personal expense if they desire. If in the case of a serious illness or injury, the college physician or nurse believes that transportation is necessary to the infirmary or to a local or home hospital, such transportation will be provided by ambulance, but the expense must be borne by the student.

SCHOOL OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION
Dr. Robert A. Fleck, Jr., Ph.D., Dean
Office: Still Hall Telephone extension: 2600
PHILOSOPHY AND OBJECTIVES
The School of Business Administration offers the curricula leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Business Administration, the Master of Business Administration and the Associate of Arts in Business Administration. The description below is concerned mainly with the undergraduate curriculum. For full information concerning the MBA program, refer to The Graduate School bulletin and the Master of Business Administration bulletin, which may be obtained from the School of Business Administration, Clarion State College, Clarion, PA 16214. The description of the Associate of Science program is found on pages 145-6.
The curriculum leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Business Administration is designed to assist students in arriving at a better understanding of the complex relationships inherent in the rapidly changing world of business, industry, and government; to provide educational experiences that will help students develop their potential for leadership and service; to help stimulate the growth of students as individuals and citizens; and to provide a qualitative environment in which educational enrichment can take place.
Supplemented by broad general requirements in the humanities, the social sciences, and the natural sciences, the businesscurriculum offers a well balanced program of courses in business administration which will not only help to prepare students for careers in business, industry, and government, but will also give preparatory training to students who plan to further their education through graduate study in business, eco- nomics, or law.
Although there is opportunity to develop depth in certain areas, i.e., accountancy, business computer and information systems, economics, finance, industrial relations, management, management/library science, marketing, office management, and real estate, emphasis in the program is not on deep specialization but rather on the development of analytical ability, intellectual toughness, imagination, the ability to communicate ideas, and adaptability so that technological change does not renderthe education obsolete.
76

Elective Credits:
In selecting electives to meet general education requirements stu- dents will select the following:
Business Law: Three additonal credits must be selected from the area (e.g., RE 272: Real Estate Law: BSAD 241: Legal Environment II) 3 credits Intermediate Economic Analysis and the Monetary System: Three
81
credits involved with the study of the monetary system, (e.g., ECON 370: Money and Banking; FIN 375: Management of Financial Institutions) need to be selected. 3 credits
Written and Oral Communications: Six credits beyond English III in written and oral communications must be selected.
Three of these credits must be related to written business communi- cations (e.g., ENG 251 : Business Writing). Three additional credits must be in oral communications (e.g., SCT113: Fundamentals of Speech; SCT 114: Advanced Public Speaking, SCT 300: Communication in Business).
A student participating in the professional accountancy course of study must select such courses that all of the general education require- ments are met. The courses selected to meet these requirements should be determined jointly by the student and his/her advisor. ACTG 455: Accounting for Not-For-Profit Entities and ACTG 653: Research in Federal Taxation are optional, recommended only if there are elective hours available at either the undergraduate or graduate level, and if selected, must be classified as free electives on the existing checksheet for business students.
Suggested Course of Study Sequence:
It is conceivable that the course of study could be completed in as few as ten semesters by following the suggested sequence. Students who are awarded Graduate Teaching Assistantships should expect to extend the time necessary to complete the course of study. Other students may wish to spread their studies over eleven or twelve semesters, depending on their particular needs and abilities.

SCHOOL OF COMMUNICATION
James H. Cole, Ed.D.. Dean
Office: Becker Hall Telephone Extension: 2328
B.S. DEGREE IN COMMUNICATION 64 credits
Professors: Cole, Felicetti, Metcalf; Associate Professors: Baker, Fueg, Larson, Pfaff; Assistant Professors: Barlow, Lloyd, Marini
The School of Communication offers a broadly based program leading to the Bachelor of Science Degree in Communication. It is essentially interdisciplinary in nature, requiring courses from English, Speech Communication, Business, Philosophy, and the School of Com- munication.
The program is designed to develop the student's ability to write and speak effectively, and to use other media — radio, television, film, photo- graphy, and the print medium — for specific purposes. Required courses in business, computer science, and logic provide a basic understanding of organizational behavior and skills necessary to function effectively in a variety of organizations. Electives may be selected from any academic area of the college. If desired, they may be concentrated to provide additional training for specific career goals.
Graduates have assumed positions in public relations, advertising, radio, television, employee training, and with publications; such positions in business, industry, governmental agencies, and non-profit organizations.
Students majoring in Communication must complete 48 credits in General Education, which includes Natural Sciences and Mathematics. Social Sciences, Humanities, and Personal Development and Life Skills. In addition, four semesters of co-curricular activities are required in at least one broadcast-oriented organization and one print-oriented organ- ization. Broadcast organizations are Student Experimental Television, WCCB Closed-Circuit AM Radio Station, and WCUC-FM, Non-Com- mercial FM Radio Station. Print organizations are the Clarion Call campus newspaper and Sequelle Yearbook. Students who wish to fulfill this requirement by working for the local radio station or the local paper may do so with agreement of both advisor and employer. Other options may be approved by the Academic Affairs Committee of the School of Communication. Physical facilities for the program include a full color television studio, FM radio station, motion picture and photographic laboratories, darkrooms, and graphics area. The student is expected to own or have access to a 35 mm camera, with variable focus and f stop,
90
and a built-in or separate light meter. If purchase is considered, it is suggested that the student contact the School of Communication for guidance in selecting an appropriate camera.

B.S. DEGREE IN COMPUTER SCIENCE 48 credits
Dr. Dale Brown, Coordinator
Adjunct faculty from Mathematics, Business Computer and Information Systems, and the Computer Center.
The principal objectives of the computer science degree program are:
1. To enable students with a major in computer science to develop the practical, conceptual, and theoretical knowledge and skills required of an operational computer scientist.
2. To enable students from other disciplines to program and utilize the computer as a tool in their respective disciplines.
3. To enable students from other disciplines to communicate with computer specialists, specify uses of the computer, utilize com- puter facilities, and interpret the results of computer data.
The program has been carefully designed to prepare graduates to assume positions in industry, government, and education, or to continue with advanced study. Students entering the computer science major should have a strong high school background in mathematics including Elementary and Intermediate Algebra, Plane Geometry and Trigonome- try. Additional courses in mathematics are desirable.
The computer science major includes a general education com- ponent requiring 48 credits in the humanities, social sciences, communi- cation and natural sciences. Courses within the major represent a balance between the theoretical and applied, and are logically sequenced to enable the student to synthesize knowledge and to apply skills at appropriate levels.
As students progress through the computer science curriculum, they are made aware of the major differences in operating system architecture through real life experiences with hardware which is constantly available for their use.
Clarion State College is unique among the 14 state institutions in that it has two major computer systems, an IBM 360/40 and a Sperry Univac 90/60. The 360/40 can be used in two different modes — as an individual processor or as remote job entry terminal to the Sperry Univac system.
91
This compatibility provides students with an opportunity for hands-on experiences in operating a major computer system in whichever mode they elect. An additional benefit from using two diverse sytems is that students become aware of two completely different operating systems and types of hardware. This provides a strong background of knowledge in the two types of major systems which they are likely to encounter in their future work.
Both of these systems are equipped with the major programming language operating systems while the Sperry Univac also has many special software packages available on a machine of this size.

SCHOOL OF CONTINUING EDUCATION
Frank H. Sessions, Ph.D., Dean
Office: Carrier Administration Building, Room 216 Telephone Extension: 2227
Clarion State College has made a commitment to the challenge of lifelong learning by the establishment of a School of Continuing Educa- tion.
The major thrust of continuing education is to organize and make available to the community the vast resource of instructional talent that resides in the area. Educational programming of all types, presented in almost any format, and developed to meet the needs of a wide variety of audiences, is possible through continuing education.
Generally continuing education activities will fall into one of three program types, non-credit courses, open to the general public without regard to educational background; credit courses offered to meet pro- fessional needs; and conferences, a concentrated experience developed for a specific group.
Non-credit courses, as the name implies, do not carry academic credit, do not require admission to the college, do not have examinations or grades. They are mostly conducted on a basic level, thus allowing everyone the opportunity for personal growth. Reasons for pursuing non-creditcoursescould beforgaining job skills, personal development, intellectual enrichment or just plain fun.
The fee for each non-credit course is determined largely by the costs involved in presenting the course. This requires that a minimum enroll- ment be achieved in order for a course to proceed.
Rcords of each student's participation in non-credit classes will be maintained. The Continuing Education Unit, C.E.U., will be awarded upon successful completion of a course. One C.E.U. represents 10 hours of instruction.
Continuing education programs providing academic credit are generally offered to meet an in-service or professional development educational need of a specific professional group.
Conference activity at Clarion State College will be aimed at bringing to the campus various occupational, business, fraternal, labor, and pro- fessional groups for concentrated day-long, week-long educational activities. The extent to which Clarion faculty is involved in the instruc- tional component will vary with each conference.
Another service to be provided by the School of Continuing Education is that of aiding persons wishing to be admitted to a credit course offered within the regular program of the college. Persons wishing to pursue a course without regard to credit or degrees may call upon Continuing
93
Education for help in making proper arrangements.
As the educational needs of the area become more apparent through observation, suggestion, and assessment, the School of Continuing Education, in cooperation with the various academic units across the campus, will develop and offer programs intended to meet those needs. A class can take place at any time, at any place, and deal with almostany subject.
94
SCHOOL OF EDUCATION AND HUMAN SERVICES
Dr. Thomas J. Matczynski, Ph.D., Dean
Office: Becker Hall Telephone Extension: 2146
The School of Education and Human Services offers programs to prepare professional educators and other human services personnel. Seven specialized curricula are offered in professional education: early childhood education, elementary education, library science, music education, secondary education, special education, and speech pathology and audiology. An additional certification program is available in environmental education. Each teacher education curriculum is designed to meet the graduation requirements of the college, the certification requirements of the state, and the accreditation standards of various professional groups. In the human services field, programs are offered in habilitative sciences and speech and hearing science at the bachelor degree level, and in habilitative services at the associate degree level. All programs involve classroom, laboratory, and practicum experiences.
TEACHER EDUCATION Role Statement
In its teacher preparation program Clarion State College is com- mitted to educating its students to play six important roles in the educa- tional process.
First, the teacher serves as a model of the academic culture. In this role the teacher is expected to be competent in standard English in both its written and oral forms; to be conversant with the major domains of knowledge as they are reflected in the humanities, the social sciences, and the natural sciences and mathematics; to be committed to scholar- ship and intelligence.
Second, the teacher serves as a resource for a school and community in a particular area of expertise. In this role the teacher is expected to dis- play comprehensive and extensive knowledge in the area of specializa- tion; to demonstrate ability to elaborate upon content, simplify material, and integrate knowledge; and to be sufficiently grounded in the basic concepts, principles, and methods of operation associated with that specilization to be able to pursue advanced study.
Third, the teacher serves as a facilitator of learning for his or her students. In this role the teacher is expected to establish both short and long-range goals for student teaching, to provide sound and effective learning experiences, to utilize a variety of assessment techniques, to
95
establish a positive learning environment, to utilize available time and materials effectively, and to apply learning theory to classroom practices.
Fourth, the teacher serves as a facilitator of democratic attitudes. In this role the teacher is expected to respect students and individuals and to be accepting of them in their differences, to help them develop whole- some self-images, to support their creativity and originality, and to exhibit an awareness of and appreciation for the contribution that men and women from various racial and ethnic backgrounds have made to the human condition.
Fifth, the teacher serves as a professional educator. In this role the teacher is expected to serve as a responsible member of a school's professional staff, playing leadership and supportive roles as appro- priate; to demonstrate high ethical standards in working with students, parents, and colleagues; to participate in the shaping of educational policies for the school and the teaching profession; and to be committed to continuing personal and professional development.
Sixth, the teacher serves as his or her own role definer. In this role the teacher is expected to identify, develop, and articulate his or her own truths about education, teaching and learning, schools, and the role that a teacher should play in the educational community.
Certification
Students who complete one of the teacher education curricula of Clarion State College and who are awarded a baccalaureate degree are qualified for the Pennsylvania Instructional I Certificate, valid for six years of teaching. Applications for the certificate must be made by the student and the certificate issued before graduates may teach in the public schools of Pennsylvania. Since recommendation for certification is based upon program requirements in effect when the application is filed, students are urged to do this during the semester in which they plan to graduate. Applications are available in the Office of Professional Education Services.
To obtain the Instructional II or permanent certificate applicants must have three years of satisfactory teaching experience on the Instructional I certificate in approved schools of this Commonwealth and the satis- factory completion of twenty-four (24) semester hours of post-bacca- laureate or approved in-service education.

STUDENT TEACHING
Student teaching provides the culminating field experience for teacher education students at Clarion. Through it the students have opportunities to implement what has been learned about the teaching- learning process and to advance the development or a personal and professional philosophy in relation to the realities of classroom perform- ance. A full-time full-semester commitment is required so that students will be adequately prepared to meet the reality of intellectual, motiva- tional, and behavioral differences which exist in almost every classroom. The semester-long program also gives students an opportunity to demonstrate both acquisition and maintenance of behaviors that are essential to good teaching.
Student teachers are assigned upon completion of certain require- ments. The minimum qualifications for a student teaching assignment are:
1. Completion of at least eighty (80) semester hours of college credit.
2. An average of 2.00 or more quality points for all college studies.
3. An average of 2.00 or more quality points for all college courses applicable to each field of certification.
4. Satisfactory completion of the general education skills require- ment in English.
5. No more than five (5) semester hours of failure (E) reported, or recorded as not removed, on the student's record in the Registrar's office, in courses applicable to fields of certification or to required courses in general and professional education.
6. "Neither mentally or physically disqualified, by reason of tubercu- losis or any other communicable disease or by reason of mental disorder from successful performance of the duties of a teacher." (School Code 1209)
7. Satisfactory completion of a course or courses in teaching methods applicable to at least one of the student's teaching field (s) (other than driver education).
8. Not on academic or social probation.
9. Recommendation for eligibility as determined by the advisor.
Student teachers will be assigned where they can be accommodated, without special consideration of their place of permanent residence.
Student teachers are encouraged to reside throughout the semester in the community in which their student teaching center is located.
Student teachers will be expected to be at their assigned centers whenever the college is in session.
The final grade in student teaching will be recommended by the
98
cooperating teacher in consultation with the College supervisor and will be finally approved and reported by the College supervisor.
Student teachers are assigned to centers where the most beneficial laboratory experience may be assured in keeping with the student's field of certification. The school districts, administrative units and other organizations which are now a part of the program are listed below. The list should be considered as representative and advisory. It is not an agreement for assignment.

The Program is designed for teachers of children ages 2-8.
Objectives
1. To be able to serve as adult models for children.
2. To be able to plan learning activities and to evaluate children's progress.
3. To be able to work with and train aides and volunteers.
4. To gain skill in working with parents and staff and in use of com- munity resources.
5. To develop skills of mastery discovery, integration, and the ability to see relationships.
6. To organize, categorize, and solve problems.
7. To develop a positive self-image, creativity, and initiative.
