Message From The President

President Theodore B. Olsen

So, you are either in or aspire to go to college and in particular Martin Luther College which is unique in its mission. MLC has been commissioned by the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod to prepare ministers of the gospel whether that ministry be the pastoral ministry, early childhood education ministry, elementary education ministry, secondary education ministry, or staff ministry. Preparing for ministry begs for a rigorous and demanding curriculum. That requires a student to stay focused on hi&lher goal of ministry, to develop faithfulness to hi&lher daily studies and maintain perseverance in difficult times. Not an easy task! MLC has an experienced faculty which knows about these things and stands ready to aid students to achieve them. Why? Because the goal is to proclaim the promise of salvation by God's grace through faith in Jesus Christ. While each member of the MLC family is different, we still have that common bond which enables us to walk together in harmony and to study, work, and strive to bring others into that same family of faith. This makes MLC a wonderful place to be. Our Lord has granted our college a faithfilled faculty and student body, exceptional facilities, and a real purpose in life. You will find that MLC, besides offering an excellent curriculum, has a variety of activities to meet your interests. In the future every pastor, tl:!acher, and staff minister in our church body will have attended MLC and then gone out from MLC into the whole world. All roads really do lead to and emanate from Martin Luther College.

Quick Facts THE NEW WELS COLLEGE OF MINISTRY Martin Luther College is owned and operated by the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS). Even though it is a new college, it can claim many years' experience in preparing men and women for the Christian ministry. Formed from an amalgamation of Dr. Martin Luther College (founded in 1884) and Northwestern College (founded in 1865), Martin Luther College opened its doors to the next generation of church workers in 1995. LOCATION New Ulm, Minnesota, a Minnesota Star City with a population of 13,000, is located on Highway 14, 100 miles southwest of Minneapolis. FACULTY A faculty of 88 Christian educators serves the student body. CAMPUS The beautiful fifty-acre campus is situated on top of a wooded range of hills overlooking the city of New Ulm. ENTRY DATES The application deadline for August enrollment is May 1. January enrollment is open to Studies in Educational Ministry. The January application deadline is November 1. PROGRAMS Studies in Educational Ministry Students choose between the four-year elementary or the five-year elementary-secondary program. Graduates from the Educational Ministry program are awarded a Bachelor of Science in Education degree. Upon recommendation of the educational faculty, qualified graduates receive their initial assignments into the teaching ministry through the WELS Assignment Committee. In addition, the college trains church musicians, staff ministers, and has begun a program in Early Childhood Education. Studies in Pastoral Ministry Students in the Pastoral Ministry program receive a Bachelor of Arts degree. The pastoral faculty recommends qualified graduates for admission to Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary. The college also offers degree and non-degree seminary certification courses for older and second-career students. FINANCIAL AID Approximately 90% of the students receive some form of financial assistance through the college's comprehensive financial aid program.

Students live the Christian life on campus as they prepare for a future life in the public ministry of the church. Martin Luther College expects a student's life to be full, rich, and Christcentered. The struggle between the saint and the sinner is common to all students. The new self in Christ wants to love God and people perfectly. The old self actively hates what is good. A balanced proclamation of law and gospel is therefore at the center of the college's message to young people. God's grace develops the responsibility and self-discipline required of those who aspire for service in public ministry.

Unmarried students live with a roommate in one of the five residence halls operated by the college. Married students arrange their own housing. Single students who are four or more years out of high school may request an exemption from dormitory living. The college provides a bed, mattress, desk, chair, dresser, and wardrobe for each dormitory resident. Rooms are equipped with a phone jack and cable access as well. Students provide towels, bed linens and blankets, phone, and study lamps. Appliances and extra furniture may be brought into the dormitories with the approval of the dormitory supervisor. Some items require a fee and/or a deposit. It is wise to check about extra items before bringing them to campus.

CLASS ATTENDANCE Martin Luther College expects students to follow the school calendar and class schedule except for reasons of illness or emergency. Teachers require a written excuse from the student for each class period missed, whatever the reason. The Vice-president for Student Life approves absences longer than a day, as well as late arrivals and early departures at vacation times.

MEALS Dormitory residents are served meals in the cafeteria on the lower level of the Luther Student Center. Off-campus students may purchase meals in the cafeteria.

VACATIONS WORSHIP Faculty members conduct chapel in the morning. College men in their senior year conduct evening chapel. Martin Luther College expects the members of its campus family to attend chapel.

MARRIAGE Students notify the Vice-president for Student Life when they have made plans for a marriage that will take place before graduation from Martin Luther College or prior to enrollment at Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary. The campus pastor then consults with these students.

Dormitories and the cafeteria open the weekend before the first class in fall and close on graduation day in spring. Dormitories and cafeteria are closed during the Christmas and spring breaks. There are no meals served during the Thanksgiving and Easter recesses, but the dormitories remain open.

FINANCIAL SERVICES Martin Luther College operates an automatic teller machine outside the Financial Services office in the Wittenberg Collegiate Center. The ATM permits withdrawals, but no 15

Student Life deposits. The school's receptionist cashes personal checks (up to $20 per day). Selected local banks cash the personal checks for students who present proper identification. HEALTH SERVICES

New students submit a physician's health evaluation and a profile of medical history on forms provided them by the college. Proof of immunization (Diphtheria/l'etanus within the past 10 years, MMR, and Polio) is a legal requirement for campus residency. An on-staff, registered nurse meets the routine health needs of students. She holds regular hours on-campus each school day. New Ulm has a regional hospital and competent physicians in most fields. A student is responsible for the costs of off-campus care. In today's world this means carrying major medical insurance or being prepared to meet emergency medical costs should they occur. Martin Luther College carries accidental injury insurance to supplement a student's own primary coverage. Interscholastic athletes at Martin Luther College fall under the protection of NCAA coverage for catastrophic injury. Those competing in interscholastic athletics must update their health records with a physical exam prior to their junior year.

representatives work together to keep the compact up-to-date and relevant. Fines and other penalties may be levied when regulations are broken. The goal of the administration and student leadership in maintaining discipline is to strive for growth in Christian maturity. When growth in Christian life is not apparent, or when behavior calls into question a person's fitness for public ministry, a student may be asked to leave school. The compact supports the concerns of our civil government. Martin Luther College is therefore a drug- and alcoholfree campus. Martin Luther College has established procedures to deal with sexual harassment. STUDENT GOVERNMENT

The student body elects its president annually. Simultaneously each class selects its own officers and elects delegates to the Student Senate. The student body president presides over the Senate. Each of the five resident halls has a dormitory council elected by its own residents. The Student Senate is the student body's voice in matters affecting the entire student body. Class officers attend to the specific concerns of each class. Dormitory councils shape residential living.

CAMPUS COMPACT

ACADEMIC COUNSELING

Martin Luther College issues a handbook that contains campus regulations, which provide the framework around which student life unfolds. The framework follows Christian principles. It assumes Christian common sense and courtesy. A student agrees to abide by this campus compact upon joining the student body. The college administration and elected student

Each student is assigned a faculty member as an academic advisor. The advisor charts the path to graduation. The advisor tracks academic progress, helps the student make appropriate course choices, and may also offer personal counseling.

NON-ACADEMIC COUNSELING

Students who serve as resident assistants provide peer counseling.

Student Life There is one resident assistant on each floor or wing of a dormitory . Each dormitory has an adult resident supervisor to whom a student may also turn. The directors of men's and women's housing and the Vicepresident for Student Life handle the weighter concerns. The Martin Luther College campus pastor offers confidential spiritual counseling. A regional office of the Wisconsin Lutheran Child and Family Service supplements the work of the college campus pastor at his recommendation.

MOTOR VEHICLES A student may bring a motor vehicle to campus provided it is insured, safe, in maintainable operating condition, and registered for parking on campus. ORIENTATION AND REGISTRATION

The college welcomes new students and their parents to a weekend of orientation at the beginning of the first semester. Upperclasspersons register on the day before classes begin. Such things as room and roommate selection, car registration, parking, financial aid, and the initial payment of fees are handled by mail prior to orientation anq/or registration. Students should therefore supply the college with a correct summer address.

OFF-CAMPUS LIFE The community of New Ulm offers parttime jobs to as many students as need them. Employment opportunities are posted regularly in the Luther Student Center in cooperation with the Minnesota Job Service. Students may shop for personal needs in New Ulm, nearby Mankato, or the Twin Cities. All three areas sponsor cultural and recreational outlets as well.

7. VARIABLE COSTS The cost of books, supplies, travel, laundry, personal, and miscellaneous expenses varies according to the individual. For 1996-1997 the estimate per individual per semester is $1,000. The college bookstore accepts charges on MasterCharge and VISA credit cards.

8. INCIDENTAL CHARGES Parking tickets, fines for dormitory infractions or past-due library books, and charges for the damage of school property are due immediately. Any payment past due on the first of the month warrants suspension from school.

9. PAYMENT POLICIES Students pay the costs of attending school through a combination of scholarships, grants, credits for having attended a synodical preparatory school, school-arranged loans, private funds, privately-arranged loans, work-study programs, and jobs. It is the student's responsibility to meet his or her obligation to the school by developing a plan prior to each semester. Counselors and Financial Services (which includes Financial Aid) will offer help to students who seek assistance. It is the school's policy to send monthly financial statements to students. For a fee of $20 per year a student may elect at registration to have a duplicate copy of the monthly financial statement sent to parents or guardians. The school observes federal laws regarding confidentiality by sending statements to students or persons designated by them.

Basic Payment Policy The Board of Trustees and the Board for Ministerial Education of the WELS have established the policy that charges be paid in advance and in full. All fees are due at registration. Board, room, and tuition may be paid in monthly installments, by the semester, or yearly.

Semester Pre-Payment Plan There is a 2% discount on board, room, and tuition if paid in advance for the first semester. The discount is 3% if paid in advance for the entire year.

Costs Monthly Pre-Payment Plan Board, room, and tuition may be paid in equal monthly installments starting in August. Remaining payments are due on the fifteenth day of each month from September through May. Scholarships, grants, credits, or school-arranged loans may not be "front-loaded" to cover books, one-time fees, annual fees, or special course fees.

Reducing Monthly Installments Installments are reduced at registration or prior to the beginning of the second semester when (a) a scholarship or grant originates with Martin Luther College or another WELS ministerial education school, or (b) a student presents written confirmation from a school, congregation, organization, or other agency that Martin Luther College will receive a scholarship, grant, credit, or other payment within the coming semester, or (c) a student has applied for a school-arranged loan that has the approval of the Martin Luther College Financial Aid Office. Delinquent Accounts A student who fails to pay a monthly installment on the fifteenth of the month is expected to notify Financial Services immediately. Late payments incur a $5 processing charge. Loans may be available through Financial Aid. Failure to make satisfactory arrangements may result in a suspension of enrollment on the first day of the next month. In cases of emergency Financial Services may work out a special schedule of payments. No student will be readmitted for a new semester with a balance due. No transfer of credits or final grade reports will be issued as long as a student's account is in arrears. Students with a balance due who need a transcript are urged to arrange a private loan to pay off an account.

Refunds Charges for board, room, and tuition are computed on a per diem basis when a student withdraws or is asked to discontinue. Other fees are refunded by quarter or semester. A $25 severance fee is charged for early termination of enrollment.

Financial Aid A decision to enroll at Martin Luther College involves not only a commitment of time and money but also a willingness to serve one's Lord in an area of Christian ministry. To help our students reach that goal of Christian ministry Martin Luther College maintains a comprehensive financial aid program. A FAMILY RESPONSIBILITY

A basic assumption in financial aid is that paying for a college education is primarily the responsibility of the student and his or her family. However, no student should be denied the opportunity for Christian ministry because of finances. SYNOD SUBSIDY

To keep costs as low as possible the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod provides a generous subsidy to operating costs. Thus tuition as well as total costs are much less than at other private colleges and comparable to state-supported institutions. Though it is not listed on a statement or on a financial aid award letter, each student in effect receives financial aid of some $4,000. BASED ON NEED

Most financial aid may be described as need-based, meaning that a student's family financial resources are considered. This requires a need analysis (see under Application below). Allowances are made for family size, for others in college, and for special expenses and circumstances. The need analysis may not be a perfect measure of a family's ability to pay, but it does serve to compare students' resources and helps to distribute financial aid equitably. Need as it relates to financial aid does not necessarily mean needy. Many students qualify for some form of needbased aid. It is important to apply. In

the 1995-1996 academic year, 78% of the students at Martin Luther College received aid which depended on the results of the need analysis. Over 95% of the students received some form of financial aid. Martin Luther College also offers special scholarships not based on need. These are based on academic achievement or other academic criteria and are awarded to both entering high school graduates and continuing students. SOURCES AND TYPES OF FINANCIAL AID Martin Luther College uses its own funds and also makes use of government programs to supply monetary grants to students. Student and parent loans as well as employment are also available.

If the student fails to gain this status, the student will be required to withdraw. Application for readmittance will be considered after a lapse 'Of one semester. (A student required to withdraw at the end of the second semester is ineligible to attend the subsequent summer session.) A student on probation shall discuss with hi&"her advisor the desirability of reducing the student's course load as an aid in regaining good standing. If the course load is reduced, consultation between the student and advisor and the advice of the registrar will determine the course(s) to be dropped. In the interest of the student as well as in the interest of maintaining proper academic standards, a student on probation shall also discuss with hi&"her advisor the extent of extracurricular activities and outside employment. Credits and grade points earned in residence during a summer session are added to those earned during the last semester of the student's attendance. They may apply toward the removal of an academic probation status. Eligibility for extracurricular activities requires the minimum grade point average (GPA) for a student in good standing. As stated in No. 1 above, the required GPA is the same for both the semester and the cumulative. A list of Martin Luther College activities which require eligibility will be made available to the students. A transfer student who has been enrolled in a full-time academic program at another college or university for a minimum of one semester enters Martin Luther College with the academic standing the student had when he/she withdrew from the previous school. A student who withdrew from a previous school on academic probation remains on probation and is ineligible at Martin Luther College until the student's semester grade point average at Martin Luther College establishes the student's eligibility.

Students who earn a semester GPA of 3.5 and higher are on the Honors Lists. The students on the Honors Lists receive commendation from the respective vice presidents for Studies in Educational Ministry and Studies in Pastoral Ministry.

WRITING POLICY

Because the college considers the ability to express oneself clearly, correctly, and responsibly in writing to be a necessity for college work and a characteristic of the competent, qualified Christian minister, it strives to teach and maintain good writing practices. In keeping with this policy, all students must attain a passing grade in a college composition course. Students are advised that grades on poorly written papers, regardless of the course, may be reduced because of the quality of the writing; in extreme cases, a failing grade may be given for this reason.

---

-------------

---

In addition to the freshman composition class and written assignments across the curriculum, a further evaluation of writing is required: a special essay written by each student in the junior year. This essay will be judged by a faculty jury on a pasf!r'fail basis. Students will have to achieve a passing grade on this essay before being granted entrance into the professional semester.

Academic Policies Students who fail will have the opportunity to rewrite the essay. Their rewriting will be contingent upon some further preparation on their part under the direction of the Academic Success Center.

All first-year students classified as Specials and Freshmen receive midterm reports. Academic Policies

Course Listings for Studies in Educational Ministry

The teacher education program of Martin Luther College exists to prepare qualified educators for the teaching ministry in the Lutheran early childhood education centers, elementary, and secondary schools of the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod. Therefore, the college offers a basic curriculum leading to the Bachelor of Science in Education degree. The first two years of this program provide the student with a broad general education. The final two or three years add to general education, but they also include specialization in the field of education and a concentration or major in one academic area. The areas of concentration from which a student may select are English, mathematics, music, science, social studies, and Spanish; students in the elementary and secondary program select a major from English, mathematics, music, physical education, science, and social studies. Students in early childhood education select an area of concentration and take 74 credits in elementary and early childhood education, including student teaching at both levels. Included within the teacher education curriculum are music courses so that, as far as gifts and abilities permit, graduates may serve as organists and choir directors in congregations of the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod.

Explanation of MLC Seal MARTIN LUTHER COLLEGE SEAL MARTIN LUTHER COLLEGE

The Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod's college for ministry bears the name of the great sixteenth century reformer, Martin Luther, whose ministry is an inspiration for all who aspire to the high calling of the public ministry today.

NEW ULM MINNESOTA

The MLC campus is located in the city of New Ulm in the state of Minnesota.

1995

MLC opened on July 1, 1995.

MDCCCLXV MDCCCLXXXIV

MLC continues the service rendered to the WELS by Northwestern College of Watertown, Wisconsin (1865-1995), and by Dr. Martin Luther College of New Ulm, Minnesota (1884-1995). The Roman numerals on the seal are the founding dates of these two schools.

Luther's Seal

MLC borrows from the seal of Dr. Luther. He wrote the following things about the items which MLC has appropriated for its seal:

Cross

"A black cross within the heart reminds me that faith in Christ crucified saves me:â€˘

Heart

"Although the cross is black, mortified and intended to cause pain, yet it does not change the color of the heart, does not destroy nature, i.e., does not kill, but keeps alive. The just shall live by faith!"

Rose

"The heart is fixed upon the center of a white rose, to show that faith causes joy, consolation, and peace. The rose is white because white is the ideal color of all angels and blessed spirits."

V-I-V-1-T

"The letters of the word VIVIT [Latin for 'he lives'] are written on the petals of the rose. Because Christ lives, I too shall live."

MOTTO

Below, supporting the seal, are words of Jesus from John 14:6, "I am the way (Latin: VIA], the truth [Latin: VERITAS], and the life [Latin: VITA].

COLORS:

Red, white, and black are the colors of MLC.

Black

MLC trains young people to bring the true way of life to a world dying in darkness.

White

The way is by grace alone. Truth is by Scripture alone. Lite is by faith alone. These are the darkness-dispelling gifts Jesus brings.

Red

Red is the color of martyrs, Christ's faithful witnesses. MLC's mission is to send forth ministers of the gospel who proclaim but one way, but one truth, and but one life.
