  Co-Curricular Choices each semester offered in their residence hall as part of their 30 required programs.

Non-traditional undergraduate students, defined as students 25 years and older or parents with a pre-school child(ren), are required to attend only 15 programs a semester. These may be drawn from any of the offered programs.  The opportunity to view and report on chapel programs online is available to all non-traditional students.  A parent under the age of 25 caring for a pre-school child(ren) must deliver a copy of the birth certificate to the Student Life Office by September 15, 2008, in order to receive non-traditional student status for the remainder of the school year. After this date, students will be subject to a $50 late fee. Students turning 25 during the course of the semester will be granted non-traditional status the entire semester.

Students in clinicals may be granted temporary non-traditional student status for the appropriate semester only.  This reduced status is in effect only after a student has sought and received approval from the Student Life Office.

Students engaged full-time academic activities such as all-day student teaching or internships (five days per week) OR that take them away from the campus community, will be excused.  This excuse is in effect only after a student has sought and received approval from the Student Life Office.
