RHODES VISION

Rhodes College aspires to graduate students with a life-long passion for learning, a compassion for others, and the ability to translate academic study and personal concern into effective leadership and action in their communities and the world. we will achieve our aspiration through four strategic imperatives: 1.

Student Access

to attract and retain a talented, diverse student body and engage these students in a challenging, inclusive and culturally-broadening college experience. 2.

Student Learning

to ensure our faculty and staff have the talent, the time and the resources to inspire and involve our students in meaningful study, research and service. 3.

Student Engagement

to enhance student opportunities for learning in Memphis. 4.

Student Inspiration

to provide a residential place of learning that inspires integrity and high achievement through its beauty, its emphasis on values, its Presbyterian history, and its heritage as a leader in the liberal arts and sciences.

RHODES COLLEGE'S CO

MMI T M E N

T TO D

I VE R S I TY a diverse learning community is a necessary element of a residential liberal arts education. we, the members of the Rhodes College community, are committed to creating a community where diversity is valued and welcomed. to that end, Rhodes College does not discriminate on the basis of race, gender, color, age, religion, disability, sexual orientation, and national or ethnic origin and will not tolerate harassment or discrimination on those bases. we are committed to providing an open learning environment. Freedom of thought, a healthy exchange of ideas, and an appreciation of diverse perspectives are fundamental characteristics of a community of scholars. to promote such an academic and social environment we expect integrity and honesty in our relationships with each other and openness to learning about and experiencing cultural diversity. we believe that these qualities are crucial to fostering social and intellectual maturity. Intellectual maturity also requires individual struggle with unfamiliar ideas. we recognize that our views and convictions will be challenged, and we expect this challenge to take place in a climate of tolerance and mutual respect.

ACCREDITATION AND GENERAL POLICIES

Rhodes College is a fully accredited four-year college of liberal arts and sciences. with an endowment of $289 million and a physical plant valued at $306 million, the College has one of the largest investments per student ($358,000) in the nation. Rhodes is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the southern association of Colleges and schools (1866 southern lane, decatur, ga, 30033-4097; telephone number 404-679-4501) to award the Bachelor of arts and Bachelor of science degrees and the Master of science in accountancy degree. attendance at Rhodes, a privately endowed college, is a privilege which may be forfeited at any time by any student who refuses or fails to conform to the easter Recess Begins .......................april 8, wednesday,

Among these traditions are the Honor System and the Social Regulations Council which that are administered by students and are described elsewhere in the catalogue. Certain offenses and violations of College rules are considered serious enough to merit suspension or expulsion. Additionally, the College reserves the right to suspend or expel any student, if, in the sole discretion of the administration, such suspension or expulsion is necessary to protect the best interests or welfare of the College, including the health and well-being of other students, faculty, or staff. Rhodes welcomes applications for admission from all persons and does not discriminate on the basis of gender, race, color, age, religion, disability, sexual orientation, or national and ethnic origin in its admissions policies, loan programs, or other college educational programs, policies and activities. In compliance with section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, Rhodes will make every reasonable effort to accommodate the needs of its students with disabilities. The information, policies, and procedures listed in this catalogue are current and up-to-date as of March 1, 2007. Policies stated in this catalogue are expected to be in effect through the academic year 2007-2008 but are subject to revision. Normally, policy revisions are implemented in the next academic year, following notice thereof and are effective for all students who graduate in or after that academic year. However, occasionally a policy must be changed and implemented in the same academic year. In such cases, written notification of the revision will be mailed to all students currently enrolled. The faculty of Rhodes College has the authority and the responsibility for establishing and maintaining those policies and procedures governing the academic standing of students at the College. Any deviation from the policies and procedures stated in this catalogue relating to academic standing requires the prior formal approval of the faculty. A compendium of all current policies and procedures in regard to the College is maintained in the office of the President. adMIssIoNs aPPlICatIoN PRoCeduRe A student who wishes to apply for admission to Rhodes may do so anytime after the end of his/her junior year in high school. The Rhodes Application (both Parts I and II) may be completed online and can be accessed at apply.rhodes.edu. Rhodes also accepts the Common Application (paper and on-line) in lieu of its own form and gives equal consideration to both. No application fee is required for students who use Rhodes' online application or the Common App Online. A paper version of the Rhodes Part I application may be obtained by writing or calling the Admissions Office. Part II of the application will be mailed to the applicant upon receipt of Part I. A non-refundable application fee of $45 must be submitted with either Part I or Part II of the Rhodes paper application. In addition to the application for admission, first-year students must submit an official high school transcript, standardized test scores (SAT or ACT) from the testing agency, a counselor and a teacher recommendation, and a senior year progress report. Transfer students must submit an application for admission, an official high school transcript containing his/her standardized test scores, an official college transcript, a college professor recommendation, and a personal letter explaining the reason (s) for wanting to transfer to Rhodes. In addition to submitting the same application supporting documents as all other students, home-schooled students must submit the results of two SAT-II Subject Tests from areas other than English or mathematics. The deadline for submitting the application for admission and all supporting documents for the fall semester is January 15. Students who apply for fall admission by January 15 will be notified of the admission decision by April 1. The application deadline for spring semester admission is November 1 with decision notification by December 1. For Early Decision deadlines, see "Early Decision Plan" below. Please note that all accepted students are automatically considered for competitive fellowships and scholarships. Transcripts and other documents required for admission become part of the permanent file of an enrolled student and cannot be returned or legally copied for the student or parent. The College is a member of the National Association for College Admission Counseling (NACAC) and endorses the principles contained in the Association's

Statement of Principles of Good Practice.

adMIssIoN seleCtIoN PRoCess academic record. A student's academic record is of primary importance in the admission selection process. Applicants must complete in high school sixteen or more academic units, including at least four years of English, two years of the same foreign language (classical or modern), two years of laboratory science and two years of history or social science. Furthermore, applicants are expected to have completed the mathematics course sequence Algebra I, Geometry, and Algebra II or their equivalent. A fourth year of high school mathematics, including trigonometry and advanced algebra is especially important for students who plan to study mathematics, natural science, computer science, economics or business administration. Students with slightly different high school curricula may be considered only if their records in other respects clearly indicate readiness for Rhodes' program of study. Applicants are expected to have a high school diploma or G.E.D.quotesdbs_dbs25.pdfusesText_31
