Student

Life

Life In Christ Common to all Christian students is the struggle between the new man of faith and the old sinful nature. The new man wants to love God and people perfectly.

The old Adam hates what is good and is completely selfish. God's Law uncovers and exposes sinful selfishness and the Gospel of Jesus Christ covers and heals and comforts with the message of forgiveness won by Christ. Moreover, God's graciousforgiveness provides the power for godly living, striving and maturing. When close to 1,000 people share close quarters on this campus, opportunity abounds for selfishness to hurt and wound. But God the Holy Spirit uses his Word on our campus to tum us away from sin, tum us back to Christ in repentance and faith, and tum our hearts and hands toward others in love and consideration.

Worship Martin Luther College plans its day around the worship of our Lord. Morning and evening chapel services provide our campus family with every opportunity to gather together around the Word, to sing, to pray and to praise God. Students are also encouraged to attend worship services at one of the area WELS congregations.

Class Attendance Martin Luther College expects students to attend their classes. The public ministry calls for faithfulness and regular class attendance is one training ground for that important requirement. Illness and emergency, of course, may necessitate absence from class.

The academic calendar specifies when classes are in session. Students and their parents and families are urged to respect the academic calendar, particularly when making travel arrangements and vacation plans. Families - please schedule any travel plans around class schedules. Don't take students out of class!

Marriage Students notify the Vice-president for Student Life when they are making plans for a marriage that will take place before graduation from Martin Luther College or prior to enrollment at Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary, or that may impact future assignment. The Campus Pastor then counsels with these students.

Housing Unmarried students live with a roommate in one of 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, but the VP for Student Life will make decisions regarding such requests. Ingeneral, college policy is that students live in the dormitory.

9

The college provides a bed, mattress, desk, chair, dresser, and wardrobe for each dormitory resident. Rooms are equipped with a phone, cable TV and campus computer network connections 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 deposit. Itis wise to check extra items before bringing them to campus.

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 Dormitories and the cafeteria open the weekend before the first class in fall and close on graduation day in spring. Facilities are closed during the Christmas and spring breaks. There are no meals served during the Thanksgiving and Easter recesses, but the dormitories remain open. Students are encouraged to travel home during these two holiday recesses. Those who live farther from home are encouraged to spend the break at the home of a friend. [Questions concerning supervision

may necessitate the closing of dormitories during the Thanksgiving and Easter breaks.]

Students and parents are often concerned about winter travel back to Martin Luther College after major vacation breaks. When winter weather causes travel concerns, students and parents are asked to check the MLC internet Web site [www.mlc-wels.edu] for information concerning school closing, or phone the college information desk at 507-354-8221.

Financial Services Martin Luther College operates an automatic teller machine on campus. The ATM permits withdrawals, but no deposits. The school's receptionist cashes personal checks (up to $20 per day). Selected local banks cash 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/ Tetanus 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 VIm has a regional hospital and competent physicians in most fields. A student is responsible for the costs of off-campus care, which 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. Intercollegiate athletes at Martin Luther College fall under the protection of NCAA coverage for catastrophic injury. Students competing in intercollegiate athletics must update their health records with a physical exam prior to their junior year.

10

Campus Living Martin Luther College issues a handbook that contains campus regulations and guidelines. By enrolling, each student declares his willingness to abide by both the letter and the spirit of these common-sense regulations. Christian principles and courtesy form the necessary framework for day-to-day living on campus. The college administration and elected student representatives work together to keep guidelines up-to-date and relevant. Fines are levied and other penalties imposed when regulations are broken. In all cases, however, the goal is to promote peace and harmony and loving concern for others. The Holy Spirit will work through the Word to make each believer more like Christ. 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.

Campus regulations reflect the concerns of our civil government. The Martin Luther College Board of Control has declared ours to be a drug and alcohol-free campus. Martin Luther College has also established procedures to deal with sexual harassment. Racial prejudice is a form of lovelessness that the college family works, with God's Word, to eliminate.

Student Government Each class selects its own officers and elects delegates to the Student 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 address concerns of residential living.

Academic Counseling 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 or steer the student to someone serving as a non-academic counselor.

Non-Academic Counseling Students who serve as resident assistants provide peer counseling. 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 tum. The Vice-president for Student Life handles the weightier 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 Vice-president for Student Life and the Campus Pastor at their recommendation and referral.

11

Motor Vehicles A student may bring a motor vehicle to campus under the following conditions.

The vehicle must carry liability insurance. Itneeds to be safe. Itmust be kept in operating condition throughout the year. Itmust be registered with the Student Life office. Itmust be parked on campus at a fee ranging from $35 to $60 per year.

Parking on streets adjacent to campus is prohibited as a courtesy to our residential neighbors. Students who bring a vehicle agree to abide by motor vehicle regulations set by the college and the government.

Orientation And Registration Current students register for classes prior to the end of each school year. New students and incoming freshmen will be pre-registered before the beginning of the school year. The college welcomes new students and their parents to a weekend of orien-tation at the beginning of the first semester. Such things as room and roommate assignment, car registration, parking, financial aid, and the initial payment of fees are handled by mail prior to orientation and/ or registration. Students need to supply the college with a correct summer address.

Off-Campus Life The community of New UIm offers part-time jobs to as many students as need them. Employment opportunities are posted regularly in the Luther Student Center in cooperation with Minnesota Job Service. Job opportunities are also listed on the MLC Computer Intranet. Students may shop for personal needs in New Ulm, nearby Mankato, or the Twin Cities. All three areas sponsor cultural and recreational activities as well.

Handicapped Accessibility Although most campus buildings were built prior to the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the American Disabilities Act of 1990, attempts are made to assist students and other personnel who have disabilities. There are ground-level entrances to the Wittenberg Collegiate Center, the Library building and the Gymnasium. The Library, WCC, Old Main and Augustana/Concord dormitories are served by elevators. Every attempt is made to eliminate any disadvantages and create a sensitive learning environment for all students with disabilities.

Financial Aid

25

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 students reach that goal of Christian ministry, Martin Luther College maintains a comprehensive financial aid program.

A

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 one should be denied the opportunity for Christian ministry because of a lack of financial resources.

Synod Subsidy To keep costs to students as low as possible, the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod provides a generous subsidy to operating costs. Thus 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 students in effect receives financial aid of more than $6000.

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 other family members 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 need-based aid. Itis important to apply. In the 1998-99 academic year, 73% of the students at Martin Luther College received aid which depended on the results of the need analysis. Over 90% of the students received some form of financial aid.

Martin Luther College also offers special scholarships based on academic achievement or other academic criteria which 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.

Advanced

Placement

High school students who receive a grade of three, four, or five in the College Entrance Examination Board Advanced Placement Tests may receive college credit. For particular details, the high school student should write to the registrar.

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. Inkeeping 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.

Graduation Rate The following statements on graduation rate are in compliance with the Student Right-to-Know and the Campus Security Act as amended by Public Law 102-26.Since Martin Luther College came into existence with the amalgamation of Dr. Martin Luther College, New Ulm, Minnesota and Northwestern College, Watertown, Wisconsin, the graduation rates for each of the two schools are listed separately at this time.

The cohorts listed below are made up of first-time freshmen who entered in the fall of each year listed for the two schools. The percentage shows those students who entered in the year listed and later graduated.

Studies in Educational Ministries Basic Curriculum The teacher education programs of Martin Luther College exist 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, social studies, and Spanish. 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.

46

Pre-Professional Skills Test (PPST] Students must have received passing scores on the PPST by the beginning of the semester in which they register for student teaching in the elementary school. Registration for student teaching occurs each year in the second semester. Passing scores are Reading In, Mathemtaics In, and Writing 168.

Early Field Experience In order to become familiar with the responsibilities of the teaching ministry before they enter student teaching, all students must meet the requirements of a two-phase early field experience. EFE is a non-credit requirement of the Studies in Educational Ministry curriculum in professional education.

Students must complete this program prior to their elementary stud~nt . teaching. Transfer students WIllreceive guidelines for their EFE requirements upon admission to Martin Luther College.

Phase One: One- Week Experience All freshmen, sophomores, and juniors will participate in an early field experience during one week of the second semester. The week for the experience is indicated on the college calendar. Freshmen receive their experience on campus through a variety of activities. Sophomores and juniors are responsible for making arrangements to receive their experience in a Lutheran school classroom.

Sophomores enrolled in the Secondary Teacher Education Program (STEP) are encouraged to gain their experience in a WELS high school. Students enrolled

in the Early Childhood program are encouraged to use early childhood classrooms (preschool-grade two) during either the sophomore or junior early field experience. All other sophomores and all juniors must receive their experience in a Lutheran elementary school.

Phase Two: Individual Experience All students complete and record a minimum of fifty hours of experience in activities related to the work of the teaching ministry. Students are to gain experiences in three areas: congregational activities; classroom activities, preschool-grade 12; interaction with children or young adults, ages 0-18.

Students must complete and record all fifty hours of experiences before they will be permitted to register for student teaching or for the next year's classes.

Students must complete and record all fifty hours of individual EFE experiences by March 10 if they wish to register for student teaching that semester.

Student Teaching Student teaching is evaluated as "Pass-Incomplete-Fail" (PST, 1ST,FST).

This evaluation carries no grade points and does not affect a student's academic grade point average.

Martin Luther College Seal 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.

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

1995 MLC opened on July 1, 1995.

MDCCCLXV MLC continues the service rendered to the WELSby Northwestern MDCCCLXXXIV 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."

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-I- 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 ofJesus 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. Life 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.
