THE UNIVERSITY OF RICHMOND
Purpose
The University of Richmond is an independent, privately-endowed institution of higher education that provides a comprehensive academic program for men and women . It offers the intimacy of a small university and the diverse educational opportunities that derive from undergraduate degree programs in the liberal arts and sciences and in business, as well as graduate and professional programs in law, business, and selected areas of the arts and sciences The University also provides a variety of credit and continuing education programs to the larger community. Related to the Baptist General Association of Virginia, the University affirms its commitment to serve individuals of all faiths and persuasions, without regard to race, sex, age, physical handicap , or national origin.
- An educational environment conducive to the development of the whole personintellectually, socially, spiritually, physically, and morally
- An academic setting that guarantees and encourages freedom of thought, expression, and association
- An undergraduate curriculum that requires mastery of essential intellectual tools, understanding of basic aspects of human culture, extensive knowledge of at least one area of study, and physical exercise
- A faculty dedicated primarily to excellent teaching and dialogue with students, while remaining actively engaged in scholarly, scientific, and artistic creativity
- A diverse , largely full-time and residential student body that participates in a broad range of University activities
The educational objectives of the University are:
-To cultivate in students the interest , capacity , and skills necessary for independent intellectual inquiry and life-long learning
-To convey to students a representative portion of that body of knowledge that has accumulated and endured through the history of cultures
-To encourage and aid students in the development of basic beliefs, values , and attitudes
-To assist students in selecting and preparing for careers and for study in graduate and professional schools
-To foster in students personal habits that contribute to health and physical fitness
-The essential resources for learning, such as libraries, laboratories, studios, computers, and audiovisual facilities and materials
-Opportunities for social commitment and public service , internships , travel and study abroad, and other appropriate learning experiences outside the campus
- A program of varied social, spiritual, and physical activities that provide occasions for growth, fun , and fellowship
-An administration that preserves and enhances the University's environment and resources, and that represents the institution to the broader community it serves
Organization and History
In order to achieve these objectives, the University is committed to:
7
Several colleges and schools are incorporated to form the University of Richmond with authority and responsibility vested legally in the Board of Trustees and the President of the University. The several
The University
colleges and schools award no degrees in- dividually, but all degrees for work done in any one of them are conferred by the Uni- versity of Richmond.
The University originated with Richmond College, a college of liberal arts and sciences for men, founded in 1830. Around this nu- cleus were established The T. C. Williams School of Law (1870); Westhampton Col- lege, a co11egeof liberal arts and sciences for women (1914); the Graduate School, for ad- vanced study in the liberal arts and sciences ( 1921); The E. Claiborne Robins School of Business (1949); and University College, for evening, summer, and continuing education (1962). These divisions enroll about 2,800 full-time undergraduates, most of whom live on campus; some 500 full-time graduate and law students; and, largely from the Rich- mond community, 1,600 part-time students.
Each college has its own dean or director, student body, and institutional life. The Uni- versity Senate, on which sit representatives of all the faculties, provides for intercolle- giate cooperation.
University Commitment
The University of Richmond is afforded a distinctive opportunity to offer an educa- tion that is powerful in developing human capabilities. The University benefits from a heritage of ethical and religious values, a residential character, and a commitment to liberal and general education through inti- mate colleges and schools joined into a substantial whole.
The University's exceptional natural ad- vantages of campus and location provide another distinctive characteristic, that of uncommon attractiveness. The campus consists of some fifty major buildings, of a splendid Collegiate Gothic architectural style, set amid three hundred fifty acres of lawns, lake, and woodlands. The University is situated in a state whose leading colleges and universities enjoy an especially posi- tive image. The City of Richmond, though located in the densely populated eastern
corridor and near the nation's capital, is not overwhelmed by the problems of conges- tion and modern urban life. The city and region offer countless cultural and educa- tional resources that enhance the University's special character.
The University's educational program uses these advantages. It aims to be a model of coherence, both in relating various ap- proaches to knowledge in a fragmented in- tellectual world and in connecting knowl- edge with ethical sensitivity and civic responsibility. Through curricular emphases, student involvement in volunteer service, the honor tradition, athletics, the work of the chaplaincy, and special academic pro- grams, the University of Richmond is an institution able to make a genuine human difference through the educational program that it offers.
Accreditation
The University is fully accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, and the Virginia State Board of Ed- ucation. Various departments or divisions have more specialized accreditation. Included in this category are The T. C. Wi11iams School of Law, accredited by the American Bar Association; the music program, accred- ited by the National Association of Schools of Music; and the chemistry program, ac- credited by the American Chemical Society. In addition, The E. Claiborne Robins School of Business is accredited by the American Assembly of Collegiate Schools of Business at the undergraduate and graduate levels.
Library and Computer Resources
Boatwright Memorial Library, located in the center of campus, is the main library of the University. It contains some 400,000 volumes, 3,300 periodicals, significant mi- croform resources, and an increasing col- lection of compact disk materials. Integral parts of the library are the Business Infor- mation Center of The E. Claiborne Robins School of Business, and the Billikopf Learning Resources Center which offers a
The University
full range of audiovisual support services. Other library services on campus include the Science Library located in the Gottwald Science Center, the Music Library in the Modlin Fine Arts Center, and the Law Library in The T. C. Williams School of Law.
Collections in various Richmond area libraries also are available for research and consultation , including those of the Tompkins-McCaw Library at the Medical College of Virginia of Virginia Commonwealth University, the Union Theological Seminary Library , the Virginia State Library, the Virginia Historical Society Library, and the Virginia Baptist Historical Society Library , located on the campus.
The Academic Computing Center provides computer services which are fully dedicated to instructional and research activities of students and faculty. Two Digital Equipment Corporation VAX computers with 100 remote terminals form the primary computer system. A local area network interconnects most offices and classrooms , and for remote access, limited dial-in privileges to the system are available. There are also more than 200 microcomputers grouped in satellite clusters around the campus. Computer resources are under constant review with improvements implemented as appropriate.
The Undergraduate Colleges
Though the University is composed of six colleges and schools, this bulletin provides detailed information about only Richmond College, Westhampton College, and The E. Claiborne Robins School of Business. Detailed information about each of the other divisions is available upon request to the respective dean's office. The three schools described here enroll essentially all of the University's full-time undergraduate students and exemplify the philosophy of coordinate education.
Coordinate education at the University of Richmond provides for identifiable student bodies and separate administrative bodies of schools, yet offers the ins tructional and so-
cial benefits of an academically combined and more diverse coeducational student population. Richmond College enrolls about 1,200 men and Westhampton College enrolls a similar number of women. Each school has its own dean, student government, and activities, but the schools also work together where there are mutual concerns.
In the educational program, the students of Richmond College and Westhampton College are brought together to pursue the degree programs and receive instruction under the Faculty of Arts and Sciences. This faculty is responsible for the Bachelor of Arts and the Bachelor of Science degrees in a wide range of subjects in the liberal arts and sciences. The Bachelor of Music degree is offered for those who wish to pursue intensive study in music. The Arts and Sciences faculty also provides the degree programs and instruction for students in the Graduate School.
The E. Claiborne Robins School of Business is a senior college which enrolls about 350 men and women at the junior-and senior-class level. The school's principal objective is to provide a professional college education that will enable qualified students to meet the challenges of a complex and international business world. The degree of Bachelor of Science in Business Administration is offered with majors in accounting or business administration. The business administration major has several areas of emphasis which students may pursue.
As a senior college, the School of Business requires that students be prepared in the liberal arts and sciences, and be admitted to the Business School. Once admitted, this school also has its own student government and internal activities in which students can participate.
The School of Business faculty also provides instruction and the Master of Business Administration degree program to the students of The Richard S. Reynolds Graduate School of The E. Claiborne Robins School of Business.
ADMISSION
The University of Richmond seeks to enroll men and women who have demonstrated the potential to succeed in their chosen course of study and have shown evidence of their capability to contribute to the University community. Admission to the University is competitive and selective.
Criteria for admission are both objective and subjective. Such qualities as academic ability and achievement combined with personal qualities of leadership, creativity, and independence are sought. For students entering as freshmen, the secondary school experience, the results of standardized tests, and the particular characteristics of each applicant will be considered.
The largest number of successful applicants have taken a challenging college preparatory program and rank in the top fifth of their secondary school class. There are no minimums or cut-off scores for any factor included in the admission decision. Successful applicants represent a wide variety of backgrounds. The prospective student is advised, therefore, to complete the most challenging college preparatory program which can be taken at the secondary school which he or she attends.
For students who have attended other institutions of higher learning and wish to transfer to the University of Richmond, the academic achievement and courses completed at the prior institution will be important to the admission decision. In short, whether freshman or transfer, those students with the potential to be the most successful in this educational environment will be offered admission.
Admission to any division of the University of Richmond is based on qualifications and space availability, and is without regard to race, color, age, religion, national origin, or handicap. Gender is a determining factor only in Richmond College and Westhampton College which are and have been traditionally and continually single gender-specific private undergraduate colleges. Such gender-specific colleges are exempted by Title IX.
Virginia law mandates that each student submit an immunization record prior to enrollment. In compliance with this requirement, the immunization record is included in the health history form provided to entering students and is to be returned to the Student Health Center.
Admission information for specific colleges is presented in the following pages. Students interested in admission to Richmond College or Westhampton College should continue reading below. Those interested in admission to The E. Claiborne Robins School of Business please tum to page 14.
Richmond College and Westhampton College
Richmond College and Westhampton College admissions are processed by the same admissions office which is located in Brunet Memorial Hall. The requirements are the same for both colleges.
Admission
Campus Visits
Prospective students are invited to visit the campus, participate in the admission conference, take a guided tour of the campus, and confer with professors, coaches, or other persons in their fields of interest. Admission conferences consist of a group presentation and discussion about the University of Richmond led by an admissions staff member and generally last one hour. Personal or individual concerns may be discussed with the staff member after the conference. When the University is in session, student-conducted campus tours follow each conference.
The schedule for admission conferences and tours during the academic year follows. Plans to visit the campus may be made by calling an appointment secretary in the Admissions Office , (804)289-8640.
Conference Tour
M,W,F 9:30 a.m. 10:30 a.m. I :30 p.m. 2:30 p.m.
T, Th 10:15 a.m. 11: 15 a.m. 1:30 p.m. 2:30 p.m.
During January, February, and March, schedules are abbreviated.
While the admission process does not include a personal interview, and the admission conference plays a very small role in the admission decision, a campus visit provides an opportunity for the prospective student to learn about the University, have questions answered, and see the campus.
Admission Requirements
Candidates for admission must have completed 16 units of secondary school work, including four in English, three in college preparatory mathematics , and at least one each in history and laboratory science. Two years or more in one foreign language are very strongly recommended, and additional units, one each in history and science, are encouraged.

school's recommendation. Students who have taken work at or under the auspices of a college or university must provide a statement describing the work, and an official transcript from the college or university must be sent directly to the Admissions Office, University of Richmond.
The Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) and three Achievement Tests (ACH) must be taken by all candidates for admission. The Achievement Tests shall include the English Composition Test (with or without essay), the Mathematics Achievement Test (Level I or II), plus a third Achievement Test in a different subject area of the student's choice. Applicants are encouraged to take the third achievement test in a foreign language since the score can be used in the determination of language proficiency and placement. American College Testing (ACT) scores may be submitted in lieu of the SAT and the three ACH scores.
Application for admission may be made on either the Common Application Form or on the University of Richmond application form. The non-refundable $35 application fee must accompany the application for admission.

STUDENT LIFE
The University of Richmond, through the Divi sion of Student Affairs, provides a variety of cocurricular and extracurricular programs and student-support services. These are designed to enrich the quality of the collegiate experience by creating an environment in which the student can grow intellectually, emotionally , physically , socially, and spiritually. The ultimate purpose of this environment is to maximize each student's potential for personal growth and development.
The dean ' s office of each college is a focal point in student life matters. For the University, the offices are centers of closely-knit smaller communities within the whole . The dean and staff provide or are a channel for many college or University services and programs. On a more personal level, a student may find the dean or staff member acting as a counselor, advisor, mentor, or collaborator .
The deans' offices are helping places. For example, the subjects presented below are intended to acquaint the reader with the particular program, service , or policy being described . If questions remain after reading a section , a dean .'s office can usually provide a more complete explanation or indicate where more information may be found . In all cases , the deans' offices are contact points to provide assistance. Each student is encouraged to make full use of this excellent resource
Services
Academic Advising
Every new student is assigned an academic advisor who is either a faculty member or a staff person who is particularly wellversed in academic matters. The advisor serves as a resource for the student in the development of the student's academic program and in other academic matters. The student is expected to meet with his or her academic advisor regularly to discuss progress, plan programs, and review achievement. By the end of the sophomore year, in conjunc-
tion with the selection of a major, a different advisor will be assigned by the departmental chair or coordinator who is responsible for the student's chosen major subject area. This advisor will be the respective chair or a faculty member with appropriate background in the area.
Consistent with the University's belief that choice and responsibility for one's actions reside with the individual, academic advisors are indeed resource persons. The final decisions and responsibility remain with the student.
Bookstore
The University Bookstore supplies textbooks for all courses scheduled for a given term at the University. A comprehensive selection of reference books, study and research aids, and general reading materials is also available . The store offers desk, office, and art supplies, posters , greeting cards, gift items , clothing, health and beauty aids . Among the services provided by the bookstore are ring and jewelry special orders, book special orders, film developing , photo and document mounting, and group imprinted clothing orders.
Career Planning and Placement
The Office of Career Planning and Placement provides comprehensive services to undergraduate and graduate students by assisting them in identifying and implementing self-determined and realistic educational and career goals. Staff is available for individual career counseling as well as to help students develop a systematic approach to finding part-time, summer, or full-time employment. Workshops are also held throughout the year on such topics as self-assessment, choice of major, career decision-making, and jobsearch skills. Outside speakers regularly participate in seminars focusing on the relationship of academic majors to the world of work and on specific occupations. There is a career
resources center which includes printed materials, an alumni advising network, and SIGI Plus, a computerized career guidance system. Also available are an employer library, candidate job referral services, and individual and group job placement advising. Each year the office hosts representatives from over 300 organizations who visit campus to interview and hire graduates.
Chaplain
Religious activities center in the Office of the Chaplain, which is easily accessible in the E. Carlton Wilton Center for Interfaith Campus Ministries. Though the institution is related to the Baptist General Association of Virginia , the University is interested in the spiritual needs and growth of all of its students regardless of faith or belief. This is appropriate because the denominations represented in the student body are many and diverse.
There are numerous denominational organizations for students of various faiths, Jewish, Christian, and other. Religious activities and dinners are held which are open to all to promote interfaith understanding. Each Sunday morning there is an interdenominational Christian worship service in Cannon Memorial Chapel. The City of Richmond has well over 300 places of worship, each of which welcomes students to participate.
The Chaplain 's Office offers help , through individual counseling or group workshops, to the student who is facing personal problems or critical decisions, or who has spiritual needs.
Counseling and Psychological Services
The University maintains an office for Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) in addition to the academic advising and religious counseling services described above. The office is staffed by counseling and clinical psychologists who are prepared to help students meet academic, personal, or emotional challenges while they are enrolled at the University. The services correspond to
students' needs and include short-term counseling, psychological evaluation and psychotherapy, assessment, crisis intervention, psycho-educational presentations, and individual consultations. A policy of confidentiality is maintained with all services guided by the standards of the American Psychological Association and the licensing laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia.
International Student and Study Abroad Advising
The Office of International Education, located in Keller Hall , serves all students: undergraduate and graduate, in the arts and sciences, business, and law. It offers advising on study abroad opportunities and procedures, and a wide variety of services for international students.
Health Services
The Student Health Center offers a comprehensive program in health education and maintenance as well as treatment for illness and injury. The Health Center is staffed by physicians , nurse practitioners, and registered nurses 24 hours a day , 7 days a week during the academic session. Services include general medical, gynecological and allergy clinics, a self-care center, and a 12bed infirmary. Legal and ethical standards pertaining to confidentiality in health matters are observed by the Health Center staff.
Health Center privileges and the services of University physicians, while on campus, and medical staff are available only in the Health Center. The cost of these services is included in the housing fee for those students living on campus. Students not living on campus can become eligible for University medical attention and Health Center privileges by paying an optional Student Health Service fee.
The costs of prescription drugs, laboratory tests, hospital emergency room treatment, consultation with medical specialists, and hospitalization are not covered by the housing or optional medical fee. These costs will be billed separately.
Meals for students who are recuperating in the Health Center are included under the student' s meal plan Students who are not under a meal plan will be charged for meals.
The University also makes available an optional student accident and sickness insurance policy . Further information about thi s policy is available through : Controller's Offi c e 202 Maryland Hall (804)289-8150
Identification Card
Each student enrolled in Richmond College, Westhampton College , and the undergraduate division of The E. Claiborne Robin s School of Business is issued a picture identification card. The card verifies that the holder is eligible to receive University library and certain other campus privileges and services, including food service for those who are so entitled. Neither the card nor its privileges may be transferred
Student Life/Policies
Minority Student Affairs
The Office of Minority Student Affairs is the focus of the University's effort to increase and maintain a diverse population . To support this effort, the office develops and implements programs of specific interest to minority students, and assists them to become acclimated to the University's environment.
Policies
The University of Richmond is governed by policy statements which guide individual members in their actions toward each other and toward the larger community. These policy statements support the University's educational mission while seeking to assure that both individual and majority rights are appropriately observed and maintained.
University Academic Honor Statute
Richmond College , Westhampton College, and The E. Claiborne Robins School of Business each operate under the University Honor Statute. Breaches of the code are cheating, plagiarism , lying, academic theft, disclosing honor council information, registration irregularity, and failure to report an Honor Statute violation. Any person who violates these standards shall be subject to disciplinary action ranging from reprimand up to and including expulsion from the University. Determination of guilt or innocence and imposition of penalties, when necessary, will be effected according to established procedures , with procedural fairness observed, and with appropriate appeal procedures available.
The University Honor Statute is available from any Dean ' s Office.
Richmond College Honor System
The Richmond College Honor Council mails information about its Honor System to each applicant admitted to Richmond College. After the student has reviewed the information , the card must be signed and returned to the Honor Council indicating that the student acknowledges and will support
the Honor System. No student will be allowed to complete the matriculation process until the card is received Each student is required to take a test to demonstrate knowledge of the Honor Code.
Westhampton College Honor System
The Westhampton College Honor Council sponsors " Proclamation Night," a ceremony which formally introduces each Westhampton College student to the Honor Code and at which each student is required to sign the Honor Code . Prior to the signing ceremony, each student is given information about the Honor System and is instructed in its meaning and operation. Each student is required to take a test to demonstrate knowledge of the Honor Code and College policies. No student's matriculation is complete until the test is passed and the Honor Code signed.
Standards of Conduct
The University of Richmond considers cultivation of self-discipline and resolution of issues through processes of reason to be of primary importance in the educational process and essential to the development of responsible citizens. All members of the University community have a responsibility to comply with local, state, and federal laws, and with all published University policies and regulations. In a community of learning, individual or group conduct that is unlawful, that disrupts or interferes with the educational processes, that causes destruction of property, or otherwise infringes upon the rights of others or of the University itself, cannot be tolerated.
The Trustees of the University of Richmond have authorized a Policy Statement on Standards of Conduct, Penalties, and Disciplinary Procedures to guide the conduct of students and their guests. This statement sets forth those standards of conduct which the University of Richmond deems essential for fulfilling its educational mission. Any person who violates the standards of conduct and regulations of the University of Richmond shall be subject to disciplinary action and, if
need be , legal action. Disciplinary action may range from reprimand/disciplinary warning up to and including dismissal or expulsion from the University. Penalties will be imposed after proper determination has been made in accordance with established disciplinary procedures of the University , with fair procedures observed and with appropriate appeal procedures available , as outlined in the Policy Statement and any approved revisions thereof.
A copy of this Poli cy Statement and/or any officially approved revisions thereof is readily available to each student who matriculates. All members of the University community should familiarize themselves with this Policy Statement and revisions , and with any other official publications , handbooks, or announcements issued from time to time by the University of Richmond or by individual colleges and schools of the University.
Right to Privacy
Student academic and per sonnel records are administered under the procedures and requirements of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (P.L. 93380), as amended. This act generally prohibits the unauthorized release of confidential information about individual students; however, directory information usually may be released Further information concerning this act is available from the Registrar 's Office
Alcoholic Beverages and Other Drugs
The legal age for the consumption of beverage alcohol is 21 in the Commonwealth of Virginia; the law governs all sites within the Commonwealth and all persons including temporary visitors from other places. The University supports the laws of the Commonwealth, and has policies to educate and regulate its campus constituencies regarding the consumption of alcohol. Similarly , there are statutes as well as University policies prohibiting the possession, distribution, sale, or use of illegal drugs or narcotics, including marijuana and hallucinogens. Moreover,
each person is responsible for his or her destructive , obstructive, or otherwise inappropriate behavior whether under the influence of any substance or not. Per so ns in violation of the law are subject to prosecution by law enforcement agencies as well as disciplinary proceedings by the University.
Motorized Vehicles
Each automobile, motorcycle, motorbike , or other such motorized vehicle operated on the campus mu st be promptly registered with the University, and the Campus Automobile Permit Fee paid. Individuals operating vehicles must abide by the regulations governing registration, use , and parking . The University Police Department administers the registration and monitors compliance. Inquiries shou ld be directed to that office.
Living Accommodations
On-campus residence and food service departments are conducted as a unit. Except for the townhouse apartments, residential campus privileges are provided only on the basis of an inclusive charge for room and board which will vary according to the location of the room and the meal plan selected. Meal plans are separately available for students living off campus.
Housing
On-campus housing for all undergraduate women is arranged by the Housing Coordinator of Westhampton College; arrangements for all undergraduate men are made by the Housing Coordinator of Richmond College. Inquiries, reservations, or other housing related correspondence should be addressed to the appropriate housing coordinator.
The University attempts to provide oncampus housing for all full-time students who desire to be accommodated. While most students who wish to live on campus can be accommodated, the University cannot guarantee campus housing except for first-year students. No student is required to live on campus and some choose to reside off campus in private homes or apart-
Student Life/Housing
ments. The University does not have married-student housing.
There are five residence halls for women on the Westhampton College campus. For men , the Richmond College campus has eight residence halls. In addition, townhouse apartments located on the Westhampton campus accommodate upper-level students from all undergraduate divisions.
Residence hall rooms house two student s, but there are a few rooms available which house one, three , or four persons res pecti vel y. (One-person rooms are not available for first-year students.) Most residence halls have lounges and laundry areas.
General supervision of the residence halls is provided by professional staff who are assisted by specially trained upperclass students. University policy is the framework under which all campus residences are governed.
Room reservation procedures are made available at appropriate times during the school year. In general, continuing students request rooms and roommates according to the procedures established by each college. Incoming students complete a questionnaire. Using expressed life-style, mutual interests, and other criteria, rooms and roommates are assigned.
General Conditions
The University Housing License sets forth the s pecific terms and regulations applic a ble to residence hall rentals. Each student approved for housing receives a license in conjunction with the room reservation procedures
The University supplies each student's room with bed, desk, chair, and chest of drawers. Each student furnishes bed linen , pillow, bedspread , blankets, towels, and curtains. Students are responsible for all laundry. Mailboxes are provided at central locations .
Due to fire regulations and other considerations , the following items are not to be
installed nor kept in residence hall rooms or apartments: paneling, lofts, overstuffed furniture, or couches of any material. (Only University -owned couches may be used in the townhouse apartments.)
To avoid electrical overloading, students are expected to limit the number of lamps and appliances in their residence hall rooms. Small, portable television sets are permitted , as are small refrigerators, provided the size does not exceed approximately 18" x 18" x 18".
The room charge includes the cost of all utilities except the telephone which, at the student's option , can be contracted separately with the local telephone company. The room charge also covers medical attention by University physicians while on campus and nurses, but does not cover cost of medicines , expenses at a hospital, the services of any additional physician or nurse , or personal laundry.
A student's guest of the same sex may remain overnight in the residence hall. The student should notify his or her Resident Assistant of the arrangement.
The University is not liable for a student's personal property. The student or parent should verify that their homeowner's insurance will cover personal property while on campus.
Food Service
The main food center at the University of Richmond is the spacious E. Bruce Heilman Dining Center. This well-equipped building is located on a particularly attractive site overlooking Westhampton Lake . The main dining area accommodates 2,200 students; a lower level is used as a catering area for University functions and for the University Faculty Club. In addition to the central dining hall , there is a "fast-food" snack bar in the Tyler Haynes Commons. The units of the townhouse apartments have kitchens for the use of their residents.
Meal Plans
All students living on campus, except those residing in the townhouse apartments, must participate in a meal plan. Details of the meal plans follow.
Fres hmen and Sophomor es- R equired 19-Meal Plan-Includes three meals per day Monday through Friday; Saturday and Sunday service is brunch and dinner. (Automatically included with the residence hall assignment.)
Juniors and Seniors-Options

Meals under all meal plans are served during the days and times stated in the calendar for Richmond College, Westhampton College, and the undergraduate division of the School of Business.
The ID/Meal Card is nontransferable.
The meal plan initially assigned is the permanent meal plan unless the student is eligible for an optional plan and elects to make a change.
Students with at least junior standing, residents of the townhouse apartments, students living off campus, and law and graduate students may contract with the University for any of the above meal plans. The status will be verified by University records.
A student who is eligible to elect an optional meal plan may make one change per semester during the two-week Add/Drop period. To initiate a change, the student is to take the ID/Meal Card to the Office of
Student Accounts and personally elect ano ther plan. In coordination with Food Serv ices, costs will be adjusted at this time. Payment for an increase in cost is due at the time of the change ; refund will be by check according to University procedures for issuing such drafts.
The meal plan the student elects, as above, become s the permanent meal plan for billing and other purpose s. The student may elect to change the plan in a subsequent semester by again following the stated procedure.
Inquiries concerning food and the dining hall service should be directed to the Food Services Office . The University Payments Office is respon s ible for billing matters.
Activities
Becau se cocurricular activities are an import a nt part of the campus exp e rience , a broad range of events and opportunities to challenge the student ' s interest are provided The Univer s ity has opportunities for leadership and community service as well as for cultural , recreational , social , and spiritual intere sts. There are weekly events of bands, comedians, single artists , disc jockeys, and the Tucker-Boatwright Festival which brings to campus outstanding figures in the literary and artistic world. These activities combined with academic pursuits contribute to the formation of the well-rounded individual.
Organizations
There are approximately 150 recognized student organizations, groups , and clubs. The list of organizations varies reflecting changes in student interest.
Academically oriented groups and chapters of national honor societies comprise about a quarter of the student organizations. These organizations, such as Phi Beta Kappa for students in the arts and sciences and Beta Gamma Sigma for business students, recognize exceptional academic achievement. Other organizations provide opportunities in academic disciplines for study, research, or
Student Life/ Activities
practice beyond the classroom. Each serves to unite students who have a common academic interest.
There are organizations which represent the University in the community. These include the student newspaper and other publications, theater productions , performing music ensembles, and the student-operated radio station .
Religious organizations are an important part of the University scene. They present a variety of opportunities for fellowship, study, and/or social service in denominational , nondenominational , and interdenominational settings.
The Greek social system comprises approximately sixty percent of the full-time undergraduate student body. There are presently eleven organizations for men and six for women ; all are nationally recognized. The men have their own lodges for social and recreational purposes while the women use existing campus facilities. However , Greek system members live among other students in the campus residence halls and eat in the central dining hall. In addition to their social activities , these organizations have historically organized and supported a broad range of community service projects.
Special interest organizations are yet another way for a student to gather with others who have a similar interest. In this context an individual might want to learn or sharpen skills in, for example, skiing. If there is no club to meet the common interest of several students, there are procedures to guide the formation of one.
Recreation and Athletics
The campus recreation program is designed to allow students, faculty, and staff to develop and participate in a self-paced and directed recreation and exercise program. Participants have the opportunity to take part in a wide variety of intramural sports involving men ' s, women's, and co-recreational di-
visions at varying competitive levels. Over twenty individual and team sports including women ' s soccer and men ' s lacrosse are available for those interested .
In intercollegiate athletics, the University of Richmond is a member of the National Collegiate Athletic Association-Division I. The University fields men ' s teams in nine sports, including Division I-AA football in the Yankee Conference and Division I basketball in the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA). Other men's sports in the CAA are baseball, cross country , golf , soccer , swimming, and tennis. The men's water polo team competes in the Southern Water Polo League. Women ' s intercollegiate athletic teams compete in the CAA in basketball , cross country, swimming , and tennis. Field hockey and lacrosse teams compete in the South Atlantic Field Hockey and Lacrosse Conference . The women ' s synchronized swimming team competes under the auspices
of the United States Synchronized Swimming Association .
Student Government
To as great an extent as possib le , the University places the governance of students in the hands of students. Each undergraduate college has its own democratically chosen student government association which responds to the needs and interests of its specific students. In addition, student representatives are chosen to s it and vote oncertain faculty committees and committees of the Board of Trustees.
Each college has its own honor council and its own judicial council, or a combination , composed entirely of students. Generally, violations of the Universit y Honor Statute or of the student standards of conduct are judged and, if appropriate , sanctions are determined by the pertinent council.

- Regardless of the University division in which a course is taken, the student pays the tuition and fees of the division to which he or she has been admitted and which is considered the division of record. Any special fee associated with a particular course, such as a laboratory fee, is charged based on registration in the course.
- The University reserves the right to increase the fees listed herein and the charges for room and board if conditions should make such changes necessary or advisable. The changes will be announced as far in advance as feasible.
- Fees and charges will increase for the 1991-92 school year and will be announced as soon as possible. ·
Payments
Inquiries concerning payments should be directed to the University Payments Office , phone (804) 289-8146 .
Fees are billed, and are payable in advance by the semester-the fall semester payment is due by the first Monday in August and the spring semester payment is due by the first Monday in December. To avoid incurring a late-payment fee and delays in housing, registration , and other areas, individuals are urged to pay fees when due.
Satisfactory financial arrangements for Room and Board must be made before occupancy.
No credit is given for a term's work nor degree conferred until all charges have been satisfactorily settled. Failure to make satisfactory financial arrangements can result in delay of graduation , denial of registration privileges, removal from classes, and/or the withholding of transcripts
Remittance may be made by check drawn to University of Richmond , and addressed to:
University of Richmond Post Office Box 26741 Ri c hmond, Va. 23261-6741
Deposits
Upon acceptance for admission at the University of Richmond , a $300 General Fee deposit is required , and a $300 housing deposit is required if on-campus housing is requested.
Students planning to continue in the upcoming school year are notified around February 1 to remit the appropriate deposits: a General Fee deposit of $125 , and if on-campus housing is requested, a housing deposit of $125 . These deposits are payable by the mid-March date specified in the notice.
Deposits are treated as advance payments which norrnally are credited to the student's account in the appropriate category. While a single remittance may cover both amounts , the distinction between the
two deposits remains quite clear. The General Fee deposit signifies an intention to attend or to continue to attend the University The housing deposit signifies an earnest request for on-campus housing.
The University always credits the General Fee deposit first. If only a single deposit amount is received by the stated deadline, regardl e ss of any a c compan y ing instructions, the deposit will be placed in the General Fee category and the presumption made that no housing is requested
Deferred Payments
The University does not offer a deferred payment plan , and all accounts must be paid in full each semester as indicated earlier in this section. However, in recognition of the substantial interest in deferred payments, the University has arranged to make available the services of The Tuition Plan, Inc ., and Knight Insurance Company. These firrns represent one of several sound alternatives for financing a student ' s education.
Many parents and students may prefer to arrange financing through their local banks or other sources; but if there is interest in The Tuition Plan , Inc or Knight Insurance Company, further information is available upon request from the University's Office of Student Accounts.
Students are urged to complete whatever arrangements they choose early , so that their accounts with the University may be settled in a timely manner.
Late Payment Fee
A late payment fee of $50 must be paid by : (Fee is $25 if account balance is under $500.)

This schedule is prorated for summer terms. Refunds are made first to any financial program the student may be receiving, then to any University unsettled account, and then to the student.
Many students are finding it increasingly difficult to finance a college education without some assistance. The financial aid program exists to help those students who have strong academic potential and limited resources so that they can pursue their educational goals.
At the University of Richmond, the financial aid program is oriented both toward need and toward merit. The purpose of need-based aid is to provide financial assistance to able students who, without such aid, would be unable to attend the University. Merit-based awards are one method the University uses to recognize and support noteworthy academic achievement. Individuals talented in, for example, athletics or music may be recognized by these awards.
Depending on the circumstances, a student may be eligible for both types of support since the receipt of one form of aid does not, in itself, preclude the receipt of another form of aid. When deciding awards, the University of Richmond, as an institutional policy, does not discriminate in regard to race, color, sex, religion, age, handicap, or national origin. The University does observe lawful criteria specified for a given program or award.
Normally, financial awards are granted for the full academic year; however, certain awards may have different specifications. In all cases, the University reserves the right to discontinue at any time awards of students who fail to meet the requirements for academic progress, registration status, individual program requirements, or any other failure to comply with pertinent stipulations, policies, or procedures.
Administration of Financial Aid
Financial aid programs for the University are administered by the Office of Financial Aid, telephone (804) 289-8438. The staff of the Financial Aid Office is available to provide information about any of the various financial programs and to assist students with
the financial aid application process. Appointments are encouraged so that adequate time can be scheduled to review and provide information about all of a student's financial concerns.
A student seeking need-based aid will apply for aid at the same time as applying for admission; however, since admission is "need-blind," the application for aid has no bearing on the admission decision. The submission of the Financial Aid Form (FAF) is required in applying for financial aid to help provide for the fair and equitable distribution of the limited financial aid resources. The FAF must be filed with the College Scholarship Service (CSS) no later than February 15 to ensure its arrival at CSS by the February 25 deadline.
The determination of the amount to be awarded in answer to a need -based request for aid rests on the nationally recognized philosophy that the family is the primary and responsible resource for meeting educational costs; student financial aid is made available to supplement family resources. The extent of funds available for support from federal, state, and institutional sources is necessarily a companion factor in the determination of the award.
Merit-based awards usually proceed from a different point since these awards most often involve an invitation or nomination. Nevertheless, individuals are welcome to bring their talents and achievements to the attention of either the Admissions Office or the Financial Aid Office. Appropriate information and direction will be given
In all cases, it is the intention of the University to make the notification of financial aid before the deadline for acceptance of the offer of admission.
Initial application for financial aid is not limited to the admissions procedure; continuing students are welcome to make application. On the other hand, continuing students who are receiving aid and who wish to continue receiving the aid for the next school year must reapply.
Types and Sources of Financial Aid
Genera l information is presented under the following he ading s to give a broad overview of the types and so urc es of financial aid. On the following two pages there is an extensive table which gives further information about some of the more common so urces of financial aid. Further information is available on request from the Office of Financial Aid.
Grants- The federal and state governments provide funds for some grants, the University for others. Most grants are awarded based on financia l need Some grant funds are available to award for talents and skills in areas such as athletics, music , theater, foreign languages, and other areas.
Loans-Low-interest educational loans are available through the institution, private lenders , and private agencies. Most of these programs have special interest rates and/or special repayment provisions.
Student Employment-On-campus and off-campus work opportunities are available to students. The need-based federal College Work-Study Program is an important source of funds for award to financial aid applicants. In addition, there is a University Work Program for on-campus positions and an active Office of Career Planning and Placement directing students who seek part-time , off-campus jobs.

After the end of the first 10 days of classes, but before the end of the seventh week, students may withdraw from courses provided that they receive the permission of the appropriate course instructor, faculty advisor, and dean. Students will be required to pay the fee for change in class and will receive an M if failing at the time of withdrawal, or a W if passing at the time of withdrawal. Ordinarily, a student may not withdraw from a course with a passing grade after the end of the seventh week of classes except for medical reasons. The student's dean may, under special circumstances, make an exception to this policy.
Auditing Courses
With the approval of the student's faculty advisor and the instructor of the course, a student may register for a course on an audit basis. The regular rate of tuition is charged, and the audit course is counted as a part of the student's semester load. A permission form must be obtained from and returned with appropriate signatures to the Registrar's Office by the end of the tenth day of classes. Once the form is submitted to the Registrar, status in the course may not be changed. An audited course cannot subsequently be taken for credit unless approved by the appropriate dean.
Pass/Fail Option
Rich mond and Westhampton
Colleges
A student who has completed at least 60 semester hours of academic work may opt for one course per semester to be graded on a Pass/Fail basis. The course may not be used to satisfy any degree requirement other than total hours of credit and, if taken in the major or minor, may not be used to satisfy requirements for either. No School of Business courses may be opted for Pass/Fail grading except those in the Department of Economics. No more than four studentopted Pass/Fail courses are acceptable for degree credit.
Academic Procedures/Registration
Note: The restrictions stated above do not generally apply to courses authorized to be graded only Pass/Fail.
The level of performance necessary to earn a Pass in a student-opted Pass/Fail course is D- or better. A Pass grade will be recorded as P on the permanent record. The hours will be added into hours earned toward graduation and will not affect the grade point average. A Fail grade will be recorded as F on the permanent record. The hours will be added into hours attempted and will affect the grade point average.
To opt for Pass/Fail grading, a permission form must be obtained from and returned with appropriate signatures to the Registrar's Office by the end of the tenth day of classes. Once the form is submitted to the Registrar, the decision may not be reversed.
Repeated Courses
Coursework may not be repeated for credit toward graduation except as sanctioned by the University; however, particular coursework may meet more than one requirement for graduation. An example of a sanctioned repeat-for-credit is the subsequent registration for a course in which the content changes from term to term such as Special Topics or Independent Studies. Also, certain courses in a major or program may have to be repeated if the grade earned the first time does not meet requirements; however, the credit will be counted only once.
Courses taken as Audit cannot be repeated for credit unless the student's dean approves.
Except in clear situations, the Registrar's Office should be consulted before registration to learn if a proposed repeat is sanctioned for credit or if sanction is possible.
All courses taken at the University of Richmond become a part of the permanent academic record. The grade for a course repeated at the University of Richmond becomes a part of the grade point average if the grade otherwise would be included in the computation.
Course Administration
Class Attendance
Each student is expected to attend all meetings of all classes and laboratory periods in the courses in which he or she is enrolled. However, the specific attendance policy in each course of study is to be determined by the instructor in the course. The specific attendance policy for each course will be announced and distributed to the students at the beginning of the course. Faculty members should honor an official request from the appropriate dean to excuse a student for participation in a University-sponsored event, such as choral performances off campus, intercollegiate athletic events, judicial hearings at which the student must be present, etc.
A student may be held responsible for the work of a class or laboratory missed during an absence. Acceptance of any excuse for an absence, and any provision for make-up, will be at the discretion of the instructor (consistent with the announced policy for the course). Missed classes, work, or tests may result in a poorer grade, or failure, in the course. Students enrolled in School of Business courses must attend at least 75 percent of the meetings of a course to be eligible to receive credit in the course.
Examinations
Most classes have examinations at the close of each term, according to a published schedule.
Each student is responsible for taking final examinations as scheduled. No rescheduling, excuse for absence, and/or provision for making up final examinations will occur without the written approval of the student's dean. Such approval shall be made only for illness certified by a physician, participation in authorized University activities, and/or personal emergencies such as death in the family.
Appeals of the rulings associated with the administration of these regulations shall be directed to the student's dean and, if nee-
essary, through that dean to the academic council of the faculty concerned.
Evaluation
Instructors establish grading criteria for their courses, and prepare and submit the final course reports (using the grades defined under "Grading Policies") to the Registrar for recording. In the event of a question about the accuracy of the recorded grade, a student should direct inquiries to the instructor and/or the Registrar.
It is recognized that each class and each student in a class has unique characteristics that the instructor alone is in the best position to evaluate; consequently, except in unusual circumstances, formal appeals to others concerning the evaluation on which a grade is based are not appropriate.
If unusual circumstances appear to have existed which could have affected the evaluation, the student should first bring the matter to the attention of the instructor (if available). If that informal inquiry is impossible, or if its results are disputed, the student may next bring the matter to the attention of the departmental chair and the instructor, jointly. In the event of continued dispute, the student may formally petition the dean of the student's college who, in consultation with the appropriate dean of faculty and departmental faculty, may present the matter to the academic council for a decision.
Grading Policies
The level of students' performance in classwork and examinations is indicated by letters. A (excellent), B (good), C (average), and D (poor) indicate that the work has been passed. The foregoing grades may be accompanied by a plus (+) or minus (-) to indicate a relative position within the grade category. P shows credit has been earned in a Pass/Fail course, and Z shows that a course was audited. S and U indicate satisfactory or unsatisfactory performance in non-academic courses or in a Pass/Nocredit course. W indicates that the student withdrew from a course with a passing av-
er age. Marks indicating failure and included as such in the grade point average are F , M (withdrew from a course with a failing average), and V (failure because of excessive absences). The X indicates that the grade has not been received from the instructor.
I and Y mean that coursework has not been completed by the end of the term. The /, which provisionally counts as a failing grade, is given when the reasons for incomplete work are deemed unjustifiable by the instructor. The work is to be made up by the date the instructor specifies, but no later than 45 calendar days from the last class day of the term in which the I was given. If the work is not made up during the grace period, the I will be converted to F. The Y, which does not count as a failing grade, is giv e n when the reasons for incomplete work are deemed justifiable by the instructor, or at the end of the first term of a course tha t continues into a succeeding term. There is no deadline for completion of the work unless the instructor so specifies. In all ca ses, it is the student's responsibility to make arrangements for and progress to the completion of an incomplete course.
Cred it and Grade Point Average
The University of Richmond uses the semester hour value. A semester hour is the value of one SOminute class-hour of work a week through a nominal 14-week semester.
The grade point average is based on two factors:
Semester Hours Attempted-The accumulation of academic semester hours that have grades to which grade point values are assigned; and
Grade Points-Given for each semester hour's grade according to this scale:
grade points earned by the total number of semester hours attempted.
The accumulations and average are shown each term on the permanent academic record and on the student grade report. Also shown on these reports is Semester Hours Passed which is the accumulation of academic semester hours in which the student has earned passing grades, plus semester hours credit, if any, for accepted transfer work.
Academic Reports
Reports of the student's progress are prepared each term in the form of the permanent academic record and the student grade report. The information included is the record of the student's registration and grades, with such other information as may be deemed important.
All courses taken at the University of Richmond become a part of the permanent academic record.
Calculation-The grade point average is calculated by dividing the total number of
Work Taken Elsewhere
This section pertains to students who wish to take academic work elsewhere while actively pursuing a degree at the University of Richmond. (Individuals admitted as transfer students please see the "Advanced Standing" section above.)
Study in the United States
The student is to obtain the approval of each departmental chair concerned and the student's dean before taking work elsewhere . The approvals ensure that the work is acceptable to the University, its departmental standards, and the student's curriculum. The Registrar's Office provides the special form for the purpose, and also will answer questions about the procedure.
Richmond and Westhampton Colleges
While students are expected to get approval before taking work elsewhere, work taken without prior approval may be accepted subject totransfer credit policies.
School of Business
Credit will be allowed provided that the approvals specified above are obtained in writing prior to taking the course or courses; the work is in the core and/or business elective categories; and the institution offering the work is accredited by the American Assembly of Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB).
Study Abroad
Students wishing to study abroad are expected to contact the Office of International Education for information about various opportunities and to get particular information about procedures which must be followed. The procedures ensure that the work abroad will be acceptable in the University of Richmond curriculum, and that the student will be maintained as "current" with the University while abroad. Further information about study abroad is presented in the next chapter, International Education.
Acceptance of Credit
University of Richmond-Spon so red
Programs
Coursework taken under a University of Richmond-sponsored program, for academic record , progress , and grade point average purposes , is treated as if the work were done on campus. Additional statements may be included on the record for descriptive purposes.
Other Programs
Credit will be awarded for coursework in which a grade or equivalent of C (2.0) or better has been earned. Credit for C-( 1.7) coursework is subject to approval by the Registrar and/or the academic department concerned. No credit will be awarded for work taken elsewhere until an acceptably complete official transcript is received by the Registrar directly from the institution providing the instruction or the approved agency coordinating the instruction . Such credit is recorded as academic hours passed and is not computed in the student's grade point average.
Academic Standing
Students are expected to achieve in the classroom and make steady progress toward completion of degree requirements. Relevant designations are specified in the following sections.
Class Ratings of Students
The class rating is established at first matriculation and is evaluated after grade posting for each subsequent term of enrollment. The rating is based on semester hours passed including, if applicable, acceptable transfer and/or advanced standing credit, but excluding sport science activities courses. The ratings are: First-year
0-23.9 hours
24-53.9 hours
54-83.9 hours
84 or more hours

Academic Deficiencies
Academic deficiencies are of two types: academic warning and academic probation.
Academic Warning
in performance that extraordinary action is deemed appropriate by the dean of the student's college, that student may be placed on probation, limited in credit hours of enrollment, or recommended for suspension from the college regardless of grade point average. In addition, such student may be restricted from participation in certain University activities.
Appeals of rulings associated with the administration of these regulations shall be directed to the relevant academic council.
Richmond and Westhampton Colleges
A student who falls below the following minimum accumulations of semester hours and grade point average (g.p .a .) will be placed automatically on academic probation:
First-year (0-23.9 hours passed) 1.500 g.p.a.
Sophomore (24-53.9 hours passed) 1.700 g.p.a.
Junior (54-83.9 hours passed) 1.850 g.p.a.
Senior (84 or more hour s passed) 2.000 g.p.a.
At any time when a student's overall grade point average falls below 2.000, the student automatically will be on academic warning A student on academic warning should take active steps to improve academic performance.
Academic Probation
Academic reports are evaluated at the end of each grade-posting period. Regardless of the specific provisions for each school stated below, if at the end of any term a student's record reveals such significant deterioration
If at the end of the second consecutive semester* of enrollment after being placed on academic probation, the student fails to meet the minimum standard based on hours then passed, the student shall be allowed to enroll for no more than 7 semester hours of academic work per regular semester or during the entire summer. Such a student has a maximum of 14 semester hours of work attempted in which to achieve the minimum requirement. Otherwise he or she will be suspended respectively from Richmond College or Westhampton College
The above provisions notwithstanding, the dean of the student's college, in circumstances which seem to warrant such action, may allow the student to continue as a fulltime student on probation for a single additional semester.
*Work taken during an entire summer , provided 12 semester hours or more are attempted, shall count as a regular semester.
School of Business
A student whose School of Business cumulative grade point average is below:
1.600 at the end of the first semester
1.800 at the end of the second semester
1.900 thereafter will be placed automatically on academic probation. While on academic probation, a student is not permitted to participate in stu- dent activities such as athletics, debating, dramatic or musical organizations, or to represent the University in any public capacity.

3.800-4.000
3.200-3.499
3.500-3.799
3.800-4.000 Academic Procedures/Second Degree
A student may earn more than one undergraduate degree either consecutively or concurrently in relation to another undergraduate degree provided the degrees are not alike, e.g., not two B.A.s or two B.S.s. In the arts and sciences, the major of the second degree must be in a different division. (Division refers to those listed under the Bachelor of Arts degree requirement: Distributional Requirements II. F., General Distribution.)
The following policies apply to any student seeking a second undergraduate degree.
The Consecutive Bachelor's Degree
A consecutive bachelor's degree is one which is begun after a first degree has been conferred or after the degree requirements for the first degree have been recorded as completed on the student's permanent academic record.
A student who wishes to pursue the second bachelor's degree consecutively shall apply to the dean of the college concerned. The dean shall make a decision for admission based on the quality of prior work, the favorable recommendation of the intended major department, and space availability. Once admitted, the student's grade point average shall be based only on the work taken at the University of Richmond while pursuing the second degree. The student's dean may limit or deny further registration if the quality of the student's work indicates that at least a 2.000 average will not have been achieved by the time the student has attempted 30 semester hours. A student admitted for a consecutive degree shall be considered a member of the senior class for registration purposes.
To earn a consecutive bachelor's degree, a student must achieve at least a 2.000 grade point average on a minimum of 30 additional semester hours of resident academic coursework selected from the catalog of courses. Courses in which a studentopted Pass is earned shall not count in the
30 hours. In addition, proficiency and dis- tributional requirements appropriate to the degree being sought, as well as require- ments for the major, must be met satisfacto- rily. Work taken for the preceding degree may be considered as transfer credit for the purpose of meeting these requirements; however, at least half of the ma}or must be taken at the University of Richmond.
A student who completes the require- ments for the consecutive degree is ineligi- ble for Latin honors, and will not be as- signed a graduating class rank.
The Concurrent Bachelor's Degree
A concurrent bachelor's degree is one which is pursued at the same time as an- other bachelor's degree.
A student who wishes to pursue a bachelor 's degree concurrently shall notify the dean of his or her college promptly after the decision is reached. A student in the School of Business who desires a second undergraduate degree in the arts and sci- ences must receive the approval of the Richmond College (men) or Westhampton
College (women) dean, as well as the sanc- tion of the dean of the School of Business. Even when approved for the second degree , such student remains a member of the School of Business for academic, adminis- trative, and extracurricular purposes.
When two degrees are being sought con- currently , the grade point average computation and all academic policies are adminis- tered on the basis of the then-accumulated work for both degrees.
To earn a concurrent bachelor's degree, a student must complete satisfactorily at least 150 semester hours of academic work (if one of the degrees is the Bachelor of Music , the total must be 156 academic hours) with at least 90 of the hours taken at the University of Richmond. In addition , the profi- ciency and distributional requirements ap- propriate to each degree being sought, as well as requirements for the majors, must be completed satisfactorily. At the proper time, two degree applications must be sub- mitted simultaneously to the Registrar.
Latin honors, if earned, will be shown on both degrees
INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION
The Academic Programs divisions following this chapter state particular details about the educational programs of Richmond College and Westhampton College , and The E. Claiborne Robins School of Business. However, an important consideration accompanying these programs is international education. In a world of rapid change and continually increasing interdependence between nations and states, the well-prepared student needs to be able to function knowledgeably in a n intercultural environment. Almost every discipline has important aspects , cultural, political, economic, environmental, or socia l, that are international or intercultural in scope and must be considered in that light. In recognition of this reality , the University of Richmond is committed to offer its students international education opportunities in preparation for their roles as active citizens and effective leaders of the next generation.
Campus Activities
The University of Richmond provides a variety of on-campus activities in support of international education . There are lectures by visiting international scholars and writers, the International Film Series, art exhibits, and concerts by international musicians featuring music from around the world. Students are able to participate in such organizations as the International Club, Model United Nations, and Amnesty International. Also, the study of other countries and cultures on campus is enhanced through contacts with international students who are fully integrated into the life of the University. For example, adva nced students from abroad regularly have participated in Modern Foreign Language laboratory sessio n s to help the English-speaking students learn the nuances of the visitor's native language. Countries represented recently on campus included Argentina, Brazil, China, France , Germany, Great Br itain , India, Japan , Lebanon, Malaysia, Panama, and others.
The academic program in Richmond College and Westhampton College provides opportunities for study in traditional fields of international study such as foreign language. There also are international components, including non-western courses, in a number of other areas such as English, history, music, political science, and religion. In addition, the Department of International Studies offers a variety of program opportunities . (Please see also page 49 and pages 88-93.)
The E. Claiborne Robins School of Business curriculum includes courses of international scope. Moreover, this division of the University is devoting particular attention to international concerns in its planning.
Study Abroad
Direct experience of another culture is an ideal way to learn to communicate across barriers of language, custom, politics, and geography. An encounter with different values and educational systems, when supported by good will and understanding , is expected to broaden the student's understanding of the complexities of the global society. University of Richmond students who study abroad find their experiences, both in and out of the classroom, to be stimulating and rewarding. They return with a better understanding not only of the "other" cultures, but also of their own.
The University offers a great variety of opportunities for study abroad: from University of Richmond-sponsored programs to direct enrollment in foreign universities; from courses in art to courses in business and zoology; from study in England to study in Malaysia; from life in a student dormitory to home-stays and independent apartments. And, while study abroad was long considered a desired component of a liberal arts program, today students in the sciences and in business are actively encouraged to participate in study abroad programs.
International Education
Some students may believe that study abroad is not for them, but it is important to realize that study abroad is possible for almost all students, regardless of major; however, a good grade point average in.creases the student's options. Also, some believe proficiency in a foreign language is necessary for study abroad. In fact , it is possible to study in English in many non-English speaking countries. Or, a student might elect to begin a new language while abroad or to study in the native language, depending on the program selected.
Students have a variety of alternatives from which to choose when deciding when and for how long to study abroad. There are opportunities to study abroad for a year, a semester, or only a summer, and in either the sophomore or junior or even the senior year. For most students, study abroad in the junior year is the best choice.
Crucial to any successful study abroad experience is early planning. The selection of an appropriate program must take into ac-
count the student's academic and person al needs, the country and language in which she or he wishes to study, and a number of othe r factors. Students should begin to explore the opportunities for foreign study in the first and second years of university study, and pla n their University of Richmond courses accordingly. The Office of International Education, which is located in 106 Keller Hall, advises students on study abroad programs and procedures, and coordinates all Universit y study abroad programs. Students shoul d begin their planning for foreign study by visiting the Office of International Education.
After an appropriate study abroad program has been selected, the student is expected to complete certain procedures administered by the Office of International Education. Maintenance of status as a current student an d credit transfer for study abroad can be assured only if the program and the specific courses have been pre-approved by the University through this office. Please see page 36 for additional administrative information.

CURRICULA
RIC HMOND COLLEGE AND WESTHAMPTON COLLEGE
This chapter presents departmental majors and minors, and the courses, with their descriptio ns, offered by each department. In a course description, where the course numbers for a two-semester course are separated by a hyphen, either half of the course may be taken independently for credit, and in any order unless a prerequisite is stated. Howeve r, certain two-semester courses have a note in the description stating that both semesters of the course must be taken to rece ive credit toward graduation for either.
Note: Undergraduate courses at the University of Richmond long were numbered in the range 0-399, with 300 level being the most advance d. Beginning with the 1990 fall term, undergrad uate course numbers may extend throug h the 400 level; however, not all depa rtme nts will have renumbered their courses by that time . Therefore, it should not necessa rily be concluded that a department with 400-level courses has more advanced offer ings than a department having only 300level courses as its highest.

Where the course numbers for a two-semester course are separated by a hyphen , generally, either half of the course may be taken independently for credit and in any order unless a prerequisite is stated. However, certain two-semester courses have a note in the description stating that both semesters of the course must be taken to receive credit toward graduation for either.
Note: Undergraduate courses at the University of Richmond long were numbered in the range 0-399, with 300-level being the most advanced. Beginning with the 1990 fall term, undergraduate course numbers may extend through the 400-level; however, not all departments will have renumbered their courses by that time. Therefore , it should not necessarily be concluded that a department with 400-level courses has more advanced offering s than a department having only 300-level courses as its highest.
