ACADEMIC CATALOG
Dear Student,
This Catalog is your main resource in planning and pursuing your academic career
at Hanover College. The general degree (core) requirements that you will need to
fulfill for graduation are those listed in the Catalog of the year in which you enter
Hanover College, so you should keep this Catalog and refer to it regularly over
the next four years. Requirements for your major program are those in place at the
time you declare your major; consult with the department of your major or with
the Registrar’s Office for the requirements that apply to you. Answers to almost all
questions related to your academic life are contained in this Catalog, so the more
familiar you are with the Catalog’s contents, the better informed you will be.

Please note that the primary responsibility for knowing and meeting the
requirements for graduation rests with you.
The pages at the back of the Catalog are provided so that you can maintain a
personal record of your academic career at Hanover College. I recommend that
you update these pages each term in order to chart your progress towards meeting
the College’s requirements. You should also use the College’s “My Hanover” web
site, which gives you access to your “Course History” and “Unofficial Transcript.”
Utilizing these electronic resources along with the worksheets that you maintain
at the end of the Catalog will provide you with the most complete information
possible about your academic progress.
Your Faculty Advisor and the Registrar’s Office can assist you in your academic
planning. If you have questions about any of the programs or requirements
described in this Catalog, please feel free to contact us.
I wish you success, both academically and personally, during your four years, and I
look forward to declaring you eligible for a diploma from Hanover College.

Sincerely,
Ken Prince, Ph.D.
Registrar

 COLLEGE MISSION, VISION,
HISTORY & PRINCIPLES
MISSION
Hanover College is a challenging and
supportive community whose members
take responsibility for lifelong
inquiry, transformative learning and
meaningful service.

A VISION OF THE LIBERAL ARTS

The liberal arts are arts suited for free

people. The purpose of a liberal arts
education is to enable such people
to cultivate humanity, to realize their
full potential as human beings and
as citizens. Accordingly, the liberal arts are designed to equip individuals to develop and
integrate every dimension of their own humanity – physical, intellectual, artistic, ethical,
and spiritual – and to understand and respect the humanity of others. Through critical
inquiry, analysis, and interpretation, through articulate and respectful argumentation, and
through engagement with multiple disciplinary and cultural perspectives, individuals acquire
an education that is both ennobling and practical. The liberal arts prepare people to gain
command of their thoughts and expression, to lead deliberate, examined lives, to acquire
wisdom and moral integrity, and to contribute meaningfully to local and international
communities.

Hanover College is a community dedicated to realizing these objectives through disciplined

and morally concerned inquiry. Students and professors work together to confront enduring
and topical questions and to engage in conversation with others inside and outside the
College community. They are sustained by an ethos that combines respect for tradition with
a spirit of rational inquiry, discovery, and innovation, an ethos that looks both backward to
historical origins and context and forward to the expansion of the boundaries of knowledge
and inquiry.

The Hanover community cultivates a culture that inspires passion and joy for learning,
prizes intellectual and moral integrity, and celebrates quality. Its curricular and co-curricular
programs are designed to encourage students to develop and integrate all facets of their lives
and to discern and cultivate that which is extraordinary and rare in themselves and others.
Providing students with sustained individual attention that both challenges and supports,
a Hanover education places singular emphasis on students’ independent development. It
equips students to be free people, to be creative, inquisitive, discerning, and resourceful
human beings, capable of exercising leadership in their communities and professions.

HISTORY

In the early 19th century, groups of devout and learned men

traveled the route of the Ohio River to bring the Christian
gospel and education to the growing western frontier.
Cincinnati and Louisville became centers of commerce and
culture, and the river town of Madison, halfway between these
cities, became the major port of the new state of Indiana.

On Jan. 1, 1827, five miles west of Madison, the Rev. John

Finley Crowe met two students in a loom house near his
home in Hanover. The school grew and was taken under the
care of Madison Presbytery of the Presbyterian Church on
April 11, 1828, as Hanover Academy. The General Assembly
of the State of Indiana granted a charter to Hanover
Academy, effective February 26, 1829.

On November 9, 1829, the Board of Trustees of the Academy accepted a proposal by

the Presbyterian Synod of Indiana to adopt the school with the proviso that a theological
department be established. This became Indiana Seminary, and eventually McCormick
Theological Seminary in Chicago.

In December 1832, the State issued a new charter to the Academy, creating Hanover College,
effective January 1, 1833. Under this charter, the Board of Trustees of Hanover College
is independent of ecclesiastical control, but has formally adopted for the institution the
standards for Presbyterian colleges, an association that continues to the present. The new
college used the College Edifice (built in 1832 and now the Hanover Presbyterian Church) as
the center of its campus until 1857 when it moved one-half mile east to its present location
overlooking the Ohio Valley.

The college’s main building, Classic Hall, was destroyed by fire in 1941. This loss
precipitated the reshaping of the campus along its present lines, following a campus plan
developed by distinguished architect Jens Frederick Larson. The college continued to grow
in the following years. In September 1964, the college’s enrollment reached 1,000 students
for the first time, and it has remained around that size ever since. Today’s campus includes
35 major buildings on 650 acres, with the most recent buildings including three residential
buildings, a state-of-the-art science building, and a fitness and recreation center.

In 1961, Hanover adopted the Hanover Plan, which created the innovative academic
calendar culminating in an intensive short term, instituted a sequence of general education
courses in several disciplines, and rededicated Hanover to the principles of liberal arts
education. The Hanover Plan provided for the development of student skills and knowledge
which culminated in the student’s production of independent original work in the
major field. Revisions to the curriculum in 2002, and again in 2016, restated Hanover’s
commitment to the liberal arts and to providing liberal arts education for the 21st century.

9
H anover is the oldest private college in Indiana. Since 1915, Hanover College has been
accredited by the Higher Learning Commission (formerly the North Central Association
of Colleges and Secondary Schools) as an institution granting the baccalaureate degree.

The cultivation of the intellect is Hanover’s primary aim. The College also realizes that
personal growth accompanies scholarly developments, and Hanover strives to provide co-
curricular opportunities that will contribute to a student’s social, emotional, physical, and
spiritual development outside the formal classroom.

Students should be challenged to probe and question themselves and their environment, and
learn from this process. In this spirit, the College does not shield students from responsibility
and would be remiss if students were not given opportunities to develop powers of decision-
making. Involvement in campus organizations, providing leadership opportunities, and
trying new activities are all broadening experiences that should prove beneficial later in life.
An education at Hanover should be total, enabling graduates to stand confidently in the
world beyond the campus.

The congenial environment and friendliness of Hanover are desirable, but they also mean
that members of the campus community must live and work together. Everyone must act
and behave thoughtfully and give ample consideration to those around them or who may be
affected by them.

As members of the Hanover Community, each of us is expected to take care of one another
by being responsible for our own health and that of the community. The COVID-19
pandemic has changed every area of life, and colleges have been deeply affected. While
we will never be able to eliminate the risk of COVID-19 outbreaks on campus, to limit
outbreaks as much as possible and comply with public health guidelines, we have introduced
a number of protocols around health and safety; including increased attention on hand-
washing and hygiene, as well as appropriate use of face coverings and social distancing. Please
visit MyHanover for current policies. Everyone on campus is expected to adhere to these
community health standards as we strive to keep Hanover College as healthy as possible.

In this spirit, all members of the College community live under a shared set of principles
which guide their behavior. These principles were developed by a task force of trustees,
faculty, administrators, students, alumni, and parents and were implemented during the
1999-2000 academic year. The Principles of Hanover College read as follows:

10
HANOVER COLLEGE PRINCIPLES
We, the students, faculty, staff, and trustees of Hanover College, seek to promote academic,
personal, and moral growth within a safe, challenging, and responsive community. To this
end, we each commit ourselves to the following:
Pursuit of academic excellence
I will seek the breadth and depth of knowledge appropriate to a liberal arts education, will
seek to foster intellectual vitality, and will practice academic integrity.

I will participate in the open and free exchange of ideas necessary for a meaningful education
and a successful democracy.

Pursuit of personal excellence

I will pursue physical, moral, emotional, and spiritual well-being, with respect for
the Christian and liberal arts traditions of the College.

I will practice self-respect and self-discipline, and will seek to grow in maturity
and independence.

Respect for one another

I will work to create a safe campus community, free from unjust coercion, harassment,
and other threats to persons or property.

I will practice honesty toward, tolerance of, and compassion for others, working to support
the well-being of other members of the College community.

Community responsibility
I will participate in decision-making on rules and procedures, and will encourage others
to do the same.

I will be a good steward of the College, the environment, and the world community.

Accountability
I will know and adhere to the rules of the College and to state and federal laws, accepting
accountability for my own actions and encouraging others to be accountable for theirs.

I will practice justice, fairness, and respect in my responses to violations of these

commitments and of College rules by community members.

As members of the Hanover College community, we will make decisions in conversations

with those who will be most affected by them, we will seek the greatest amount of relevant
input possible to our decision-making, and, to the extent possible, we will encourage
decision-making on rules and procedures by those who will be most affected by them.

INFORMATION

THE CORE CURRICULUM REQUIREMENTS and
AREAS OF COMPETENCY AND ENGAGEMENT
The Core Curriculum Requirements (CCRs) establish a framework for a diverse
distribution of liberal arts courses and life-long learning. Students explore a breadth
of foundational study across the curriculum: Literary and Artistic Perspectives;
Historical and Social Perspectives; Philosophical and Religious Perspectives; Scientific,
Mathematical, and Algorithmic Methods; World Languages and Cultures; and Health and
Fitness Applied. The Areas of Competency and Engagement (ACEs) represent a campus-
wide commitment to the skills and awareness expected of an educated person. These
courses in writing, speaking, cultural perspectives, and quantitative and logical reasoning
are offered throughout the curriculum and across disciplines. Most students will fulfil
them in conjunction with CCRs or their major requirements.

THE 4-4-1 CALENDAR

The academic calendar divides the year into three regular enrollment periods. These are
a Fall Term of 13 weeks, plus an examination period, ending before Christmas; a Winter
Term of 13 weeks, plus an examination period, beginning after the Christmas holiday and
extending until the middle of April; and a four-week Spring Term. In 2016, the College
started offering classes during the Summer. The Summer Term is not a regular enrollment
period for the purposes of determining Dean’s List or academic probation/dismissal status.

Academic Advising
To assist and support students in this intellectual venture, all Hanover students have an
academic advisor selected from among the faculty. The Registrar assigns an academic
advisor to each first-year student and transfer student. During the second year, when
selecting a major field of study, students select a faculty member in that academic
department to serve as their academic advisor. Students may elect to change academic
advisors at any time in consultation with the Registrar.

Academic advisors aid students as they devise their undergraduate academic plans around
the Core Curriculum Requirements (CCRs), Areas of Competency and Engagement
(ACEs), major requirements, and electives, and connect these plans with post-graduate
goals. Conversations between advisor and student also focus on study techniques, conflict
resolution, and other issues related to students’ academic work. If students are to feel free
to consult openly and frankly with their advisors, they must know each other better than
a few formal appointments a year will allow. This means that students, as well as faculty,
must take some initiative to build a productive relationship.

Graduation Requirements
Hanover College confers the Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science degree when the
following conditions have been met:
1. The satisfactory fulfillment of the degree requirements mandated by the faculty;
2. The satisfactory completion of a minimum of 36 course units, which includes 1 unit for
comprehensive evaluations or their equivalent (double majors must complete 37 course
units), at least 17 of which must be taken at Hanover College and in no more than six
of which the student has earned a grade in the D range;

14
3. The satisfactory completion of a program of major study, at least 50 percent of the
courses for which must be taken at Hanover College. In no more than two of these
courses (including comprehensive evaluations) shall the student have earned a grade in
the D range;
4. The satisfactory completion of a comprehensive evaluation as required in the area of
major study (two for double majors) to be recorded as a comprehensive evaluation
unit, the grade for which shall be included in the calculation of all required grade point
averages and, should the grade be in the “D” range, count in the number of “D” grades
accumulated in the major and overall;
5. The achievement of at least a 2.00 cumulative grade point average, both in the total
number of courses attempted at Hanover and in the total number of Hanover courses
attempted for the major;
6. The successful completion of a senior culminating experience in the major. If that
involves a senior thesis project, a copy of the project must be filed with the Duggan
Library prior to the day of comme ncement;
7. College attendance for four years or the equivalent, the last year of which must be at
Hanover College;
8. Attendance in academic attire at Commencement exercises, unless excused in advance
by the Dean of Academic Affairs. A student must have 34 units to be eligible to attend
Baccalaureate and Commencement.
The primary responsibility for ensuring that all graduation requirements have been met
lies with the student.

REQUIREMENTS IN THE MAJOR AREA OF STUDY

The major at Hanover College offers students a solid grounding as thinkers and
practitioners in a particular discipline. The major’s curricular function is to help students
understand the epistemologies, methodologies, and vocabulary central to a discipline, the
history of the discipline, the competing schools of thought within the discipline, and the
technologies that support practice of the discipline. Hanover College provides the options
of interdisciplinary majors and student-designed majors in order to provide flexibility for
students who wish to focus on more than one field of study, but in each case the major
must consist of a substantial grounding in one core discipline. By focusing students’
academic experience on a particular field of scholarly inquiry or artistry over an extended
period of time, the major helps students to refine the skills, ways of knowing, and modes
of reflection central to that field, to become more precise in their thinking and more
deliberate, experienced, and knowledgeable in their practice.
Each student must complete at least one major. A limit of two majors may be selected; no
more than one course may be counted toward both majors, unless the course is specifically
required in one major. The first major must be declared no later than the Friday before
Winter Term Break of the sophomore year. At least 50 percent of courses in a major area
of study must be taken at Hanover College. Students must earn a minimum grade point
average of 2.0 in their major courses, including all courses in the department of the major,
and any required cognate courses. No more than two courses, including the Comprehensive
Examination, in which a student has earned a grade in the D range may be counted toward
the fulfillment of a major (see section on Computation of Grade Point Averages).

15
All majors must, during their senior year, complete a senior culminating experience,
which requires the integration or application of knowledge gained in courses related to
the major. A senior thesis, an internship, or a specific course fulfills this requirement,
depending on the major. See the section on Academic Programs for the specific
requirements of each major.
Each major also requires a comprehensive evaluation in the senior year. Departments
provide advance information to students of the nature of the evaluation and shall offer
appropriate support for students preparing for the evaluation. The comprehensive
evaluation is graded and the grade is noted on the transcript. The comprehensive
evaluation carries the weight of a full course unit for purposes of calculating grade
point averages, although it is not considered a course for purposes of determining full
or part-time enrollment. Students who fail to achieve the level of performance deemed
satisfactory by the department shall be given the opportunity to be re-evaluated once
before their scheduled graduation date. Students who fail the second evaluation may
petition the Student Academic Assistance Committee for permission to be evaluated for a
third and final time. If the petition is granted, a period of at least 12 weeks must intervene
between the second and third evaluations, and in no case shall the third evaluation be
administered before the date on which the student was originally scheduled to graduate.
Students completing two majors must complete a culminating experience and a
comprehensive evaluation in each major.
Majors are offered in anthropology, art and design, art history, biochemistry, biology,
business, chemistry, classical studies, communication, computer science, economics,
elementary education, engineering, English, environmental science, French, gender
studies, geology, German, German studies, health and movement studies, history,
international studies, kinesiology and integrative physiology, mathematics, Medieval-
Renaissance studies, music, philosophy, physics, political science, psychology, sociology,
Spanish, theatre, and theological studies.
Bachelor of Science majors require more focus on the discipline and the natural sciences
in general, while adhering to the college’s general degree requirements. Students with a
particular interest in the natural sciences are encouraged to explore these majors. Due
to the elevated number of major requirements, students pursuing a BS major will not be
allowed to complete two majors
Self-Designed Interdisciplinary Major
Hanover students may choose to create a self-designed interdisciplinary major that joins
two or more liberal arts disciplines in the analysis of a specific set of questions. (Given the
intellectual challenges of a self-designed interdisciplinary major, it is recommended that a
student have a cumulative grade point average of 2.75 or higher.) Students planning a self-
designed major should make suitable arrangements early enough in their college career
so that they can write a proposal and file for the major by February of their sophomore
year. To initiate a self-designed major, a student will develop a tentative set of courses for
the major. As with other interdisciplinary majors, the student must design a major that
has a central disciplinary core and methodology. The student should approach a faculty
member who teaches in the core discipline with whom to discuss the proposed major.
The student and faculty member will discuss the proposal and possible faculty members
to serve on an advisory committee. This proposed advisory committee will consist of a
faculty advisor and two additional faculty members from disciplines included in the major
proposal. The student and faculty advisory comittee will discuss and, if necessary, revise
the proposed set of courses.

16
The student will then write a proposal for the self-designed major. This proposal must:
1. Suggest a name for the proposed major.
2. Include a rationale for the planned major course of study, a statement of the student’s
curricular objectives, including competencies to be developed, the core questions that
are to be explored, a clearly defined link between the disciplines involved, a statement
explaining why this major is in the spirit of the liberal arts (and not occupational
training), and the rationale for the courses that are included in the program of study.
3. Provide a plan of study that includes:
* coursework dealing with the epistemology and the theory (or abstract
conceptualization) within one of the disciplines;
* a total of not less than ten courses (alternative courses developing similar
competencies can be suggested, such as ECO 113 or ECO 114);
* at least six courses above the introductory level unless the faculty advisory committee
recognizes a compelling reason that this is not feasible;
* capstone experience. (The senior thesis should normally be in the core discipline);
* and a comprehensive examination to be taken during the student’s senior year.
4. Include a copy of the student’s transcript.
After the proposal is completed and signed by the three faculty members on the advisory
committee, the proposal is to be submitted to the Curriculum Committee for its review
and final approval of both the major’s content and the advisory committee’s members.
Once the Curriculum Committee approves a proposal, it will serve as the student’s course
of study. The faculty advisory committee members and the Student Academic Assistance
Committee must approve any variance in coursework.
Opportunity for a Minor
The College offers, but does not require students to elect, minor programs. Each
student may declare one or two minors in fields of special interest. At least 50 percent of
courses in a minor area of study must be taken at Hanover College. Minors are offered
in the following disciplines: anthropology, archaeology, art, art history, Asian studies,
biochemistry, biology, business, chemistry, classics, communication, computer science,
creative writing, design, economics, English, environmental science, environmental
studies, film studies, French, gender studies, geology, German, German studies, Greek,
health and movement studies, history, international studies, journalism, kinesiology
and integrative physiology, Latin, mathematics, Medieval-Renaissance studies, music,
philosophy, physics, political science, psychology, race and ethnic studies, sociology,
Spanish, theatre, theological studies and world religions.
A student may not elect a minor in the discipline in which he or she is majoring. A minor
must be formally declared prior to the student’s graduation. A minimum cumulative
grade-point average of 2.00 in the minor, including all courses in the department of the
minor and any required cognate courses must be achieved in order for the minor to
be designated officially on the student’s records. Except for minor courses specifically
required for the student’s major, no more than one course may be counted toward both a
major and a minor or toward two majors or two minors.

17
OPPORTUNITIES FOR CREDIT
Advanced Placement Credit
Advanced Placement courses taken in high school under the College Entrance
Examination Board program will be recognized as follows: (a) If a student has earned a 4
or 5 in an Advanced Placement course, full credit will be given, provided the course meets
relevant Hanover College prerequisite and graduation requirements. (b) If a student has
earned a 3 in an Advanced Placement course, the decision as to acceptance for credit will
lie with the department concerned, which may read and evaluate the student’s Advanced
Placement course examination. It is the student’s responsibility to present his or her case
to the department.
By-Pass Credit
Students may enroll in an advanced course at Hanover without the necessary prerequisites
if they can demonstrate their competence to the academic department involved. Students
so enrolled in an advanced course may be awarded credit for one, but no more than one,
of the bypassed prerequisite course(s), providing the student earns a grade of B or better
in the advanced course and the department has adopted this policy. See departmental
descriptions for specifics. No credit will be awarded, however, for course work that is
required for admission to the College.
Dual Credit
Hanover College will accept dual-credit courses as elective transfer credits upon request
by the student entering the College. The courses may be used to satisfy Core Curriculum
Requirements (CCRs) and Areas of Competency and Engagement (ACEs) requirements
when deemed equivalent or suitable. The courses may also satisfy requirements within a
major or minor with departmental approval.
International Baccalaureate Credit
Credit is granted for courses taken on the Higher Level under the International
Baccalaureate program provided that the student earns a score of 5 or above on the
qualifying exam. Both credit and satisfactory completion of the equivalent Core
Curriculum Requirements (CCRs) and Areas of Competency and Engagement (ACEs)
requirements will be awarded. Courses that are not equivalent to CCRs and ACEs or
major courses may earn elective credit. No credit will be awarded for courses taken on the
Standard level.
Summer School Credit
Hanover College offers classes during three possible Summer terms. For a schedule and
list of classes, check with the Registrar’s Office after April 1.
Transfer Credit
Courses of the type offered by Hanover College, but completed at other accredited
academic institutions, as well as courses prescribed in the College’s articulation
agreements, may be accepted for credit at Hanover. Transfer credits are applied toward the
total number of course units required for graduation and may, in some cases, be used to
satisfy requirements for the liberal arts degree, major, or minor program.
The determination of the acceptability of courses for transfer to Hanover and of their
suitability for satisfying liberal arts degree or major requirements is the responsibility of
the Registrar and finally of the Faculty of the College. Students have responsibility for
collecting and presenting the documentation (course records, syllabi, etc.) necessary to
the making of informed transfer credit decisions by the Registrar and/or appropriate
faculty members.

18
Transfer credit will be identified on the student’s Hanover transcript with a notation
designating the institution at which the credit was earned and the total number of credits
transferred. Grades earned in courses transferred for credit will not be included in the
calculation of any grade point averages at Hanover unless specifically authorized by the
Faculty, as in the case of affiliated Off-Campus Study Programs.

Students currently enrolled at Hanover College who wish to receive transfer credit for
courses taken at other academic institutions (for example, in summer school programs)
should secure approval from their faculty advisor and the Registrar before taking the
course. Without prior approval, no assurance of transfer credit can be made.

Hanover College grants transfer credit for courses (including “dual credit” courses)
completed at other institutions under the following conditions:

1) The transferring institution must be fully accredited by The Higher Learning

Commission or a similar United States regional accrediting agency.

2) The course work must be prescribed in the College’s articulation agreements, or be

representative of “The Liberal Arts.” Course work taken at other Liberal Arts Colleges or
at Colleges of Arts and Sciences at Universities is generally acceptable.

3) The course work must have received a grade of C or better.

For the purposes of transferring courses to Hanover, the conversion rate of semester hours
or quarter hours to Hanover units is:
4 semester hours course = 1 Hanover unit
3 semester hours course - .75 Hanover unit
2 semester hours = .5 Hanover unit
1 semester hour = .25 Hanover unit
6 quarter hours course = 1 Hanover unit
5 quarter hours course = .83
4 quarter hours = .67 Hanover unit
3 quarter hours = .5 Hanover unit
2 quarter hours = .33 Hanover unit
1 quarter hour = .17 Hanover unit
Courses taken at affiliated Off-Campus Study Programs will receive Hanover College units of credit
for satisfactory completion of work and will count toward calculation of grade point averages.
For purposes of transferring a Hanover course to another institution, the official
conversion rate is 1 unit = 4 semester hours or 6 quarter hours.
COURSE REGULATIONS
A. Course Load and Enrollment Status
1. Normal load. Normal load during the Fall and Winter Terms is four course units,
and it is one course unit during the Spring Term. Health and Fitness activity courses
and music courses may be taken in addition to the standard course load in any term.
Programs with up to 5.25 course units during the Fall or Winter Terms and with up to
1.25 units during the Spring Term will be accepted with the approval of the student’s
advisor, provided the student is not currently on academic probation. Programs in
excess of 4.50 units during the Fall and 5.50 units during the combined Winter and
Spring Terms will be subject to additional tuition charges.
19
2. Full-time status. In order to be classified as full-time, a student must be enrolled in at
least three course units, exclusive of comprehensive evaluations, during the Fall Term;
in at least three course units, exclusive of comprehensive evaluations during the Winter
Term; and in at least one course unit, exclusive of comprehensive evaluations, during
Spring Term. Comprehensive evaluations are not considered as courses for purposes
of determining full or part-time enrollment. This definition of full-time is used to
determine academic status, residence status, and NCAA athletic eligibility status.
3. Withdrawn status. Except in instances in which a student is studying off campus with the
approval of the College, a student shall be considered to have withdrawn from the College
whenever he or she withdraws from all courses or fails to enroll in any courses during
either the Fall or Winter Terms. Students who have withdrawn, but wish to return to the
College, must request an Application for Readmission from the Registrar’s Office.
B. Enrollment in Courses
1. Enrollment deadline. Students will not be allowed to enter a course later than the fifth
day of the Fall or Winter Terms or after the second day of Spring Term without special
permission of the instructor and the Registrar.
2. Enrollment in 100-level courses. Junior and senior students may enroll in freshman-level
courses (courses numbered 100) that satisfy general degree requirements under any one
of the following conditions: (a) The enrollment is necessary to satisfy a specific degree
requirement, because another option at the 200 or 300 level is not possible; (b) The
enrollment is necessary in order to meet a specific requirement for the student’s major and/
or teacher certification program; (c) The enrollment constitutes a ‘repeat’ of a previously
taken course under the terms and conditions prescribed by faculty regulations. In all other
instances, juniors and seniors may enroll in freshman level courses only if they obtain
the permission of the instructor and the approval of the faculty advisor. Instructors and
advisors must recognize that such enrollments will be above and beyond those necessary to
accommodate freshman and sophomore students seeking to enroll in these courses.
3. Pass-fail option. Juniors and seniors may select up to one elective course unit in the
Fall and Winter Terms, to be graded on a Pass (C- or better)/Fail (D+ or less) Option
basis, provided at least three course units (not counting the senior comprehensive
examination) that term are in courses with regular grading status. The Pass-Fail
Option must be declared no later than the last day of the drop/add period of the term
in which the course is taken. Courses meeting College liberal arts degree or major or
minor requirements, and courses in the department of the major or minor, may not be
taken with a Pass-Fail Option status. Once a student has satisfied a particular degree
requirement, other courses which satisfy that requirement may be taken on a Pass-Fail
Option basis.
4. Repeating courses. Students may repeat courses provided they obtain the approval of
their advisor. A maximum of one course unit will be used for all attempts, and the grade
for the most recent attempt will replace the earlier grade in calculating the cumulative
grade point average. The transcript will show all attempted courses. For the purposes
of this regulation, a course may be “repeated” either by completing the same course a
second time or by completing a course in the same department that has been accepted
by that department (with the concurrence of the Curriculum Committee) as covering
the essential content of the original course.
5. Senior Thesis. A student may enroll in two Senior Thesis courses during the same term
only with the permission of the Student Academic Assistance Committee.

20
6. Auditing courses. A course which is audited receives no credit and may not be counted
toward satisfying the general education requirements (CCRs and ACEs) nor the major
or minor.
The last day to change enrollment status from audit to credit is the last day of the drop/
add period for the term in which the course will be taken. The last day to change from
credit to audit status is the last day of the discretionary withdrawal period in the term in
which the course will be taken (the discretionary withdrawal period is the first eight weeks
of a term).
A request to audit a course must be approved by the instructor of the course and the
student’s advisor. The student should confirm what the instructor’s expectations are for
auditing the course, and it is the student’s responsibility to fulfill those requirements for
a satisfactory audit. The course will appear on the student’s transcript, and bear the letter
“AU” to indicate that the course was taken as an audit or “U” to indicate unsatisfactory
completion of the audit. A student may audit a course during Spring Term provided the
student is enrolled in a 1 unit course and all other criteria for auditing, as defined in this
section, are met. Additional tuition charges may apply. See Tuition and Fees Section.
C. Withdrawal from Courses
1. Withdrawal from one course. Students wishing to withdraw from a single course may do
so without academic penalty, provided that such withdrawal: (a) takes place by the end
of the eighth week of a Fall or Winter Term or by the end of the second week of a Spring
Term course; (b) does not have the effect of reducing a fulltime student’s load below that
necessary to maintain full-time status; (c) does not preclude a student from fulfilling a
general degree requirement within the prescribed time. A grade of “W” for that course
will be entered on the student’s record.
2. Withdrawal from more than one course. Students wishing to withdraw from more than
one course during a given term, or to withdraw from a single course in circumstances
which do not meet the requirements set forth under rule 1 above, may do so without
academic penalty only after conferring with their instructor(s) and faculty advisor and
only with the approval of the Registrar. Such withdrawal may be authorized because of a
personal medical problem, a disabling family situation or a problem outside the control
of the student. A grade of “W” for that course or courses will be entered on the student’s
record.
3. Withdrawal from the College. Students wishing to withdraw from the College may do so
without academic penalty prior to the end of the ninth week of the enrollment period.
After this period, a student may withdraw from the College without penalty only with
the prior approval of the Registrar. Such withdrawal may be authorized because of a
personal medical problem, a disabling family situation or a problem outside the control
of the student. A grade of “W” will be entered on the student’s record for each course in
which the student is then enrolled, and the student’s academic status will remain as it
was at the beginning of the term in which the withdrawal occurs.
4. Withdrawal procedures. A discretionary withdrawal form is available in the Registrar’s
Office. Failure to obtain the necessary approval for withdrawal from a course or from
the College shall result in the filing of regular letter grades for all such courses, and the
student shall remain subject to all regulations governing probation and dismissal.
5. Dismissal from the College. A student who is dismissed from the College during a
term for non-academic reasons shall receive a “W” for all courses in which he or she
is enrolled and the student’s transcript shall carry the notation of “dismissed.” If the
student is subsequently readmitted to the College, the notation shall then be deleted
from the transcript. 21
D. Attendance and Classroom Discipline
Students are expected to be regular and punctual in their attendance at class and in the
fulfillment of their other academic obligations, including those which are conducted on
days immediately preceding or following a college recess. They are likewise expected to
conduct themselves in a manner that is conducive to their own learning experience and
that of their classmates.

Instructors have the authority to establish their own standards for attendance and other
classroom behaviors, and to enforce these standards with appropriate disciplinary action,
up to and including the removal of a student from the course, provided such standards
and actions are consistent with existing faculty regulations. In exercising this authority,
instructors should recognize and make due allowance for instances in which a student’s
failure to fulfill academic obligations is a consequence of circumstances beyond the
student’s control.

In instances when an instructor acts to remove a student from a course, the instructor
should inform the student in writing of the intended action and notify the Registrar of the
appropriate grade to be entered on the student’s academic record. In this, as in all manners
of academic discipline, students have the right to appeal the instructor’s action to the
Dean of Academic Affairs..

While instructors should attempt to honor the requests of their colleagues for students
to be released from classroom obligations in order to participate in authorized course
activities and other college programs, the instructor is the final determiner of whether
such absences shall be excused.
E. Final Examinations
1. The faculty has mandated that no examinations in courses can be given during the
last week of classes in order to allow students to complete other work and prepare for
final quizzes, lab tests in science courses, or examinations in any course for which a
final examination period has not been scheduled (such as activities courses in physical
education or music lessons).

2. Final examinations must be given at the time and place identified on the final
examination schedule published by the Registrar, unless a change has been approved in
advance by the Dean of Academic Affairs. The convenience of travel arrangements is not
generally considered legitimate grounds for the granting of such a change, and students
should not make travel plans that may interfere with their final examination obligations.

3. In cases of a family emergency or similar exceptional circumstances, an instructor

may allow a student to take the final examination in advance of the time at which it is
scheduled to be given.

4. College policy will be that no student will be required to have three final exams on
one day, but a student may do so if he or she chooses. If a student having three final
exams scheduled on one day wishes to avoid the situation then it is the student’s duty to
bring this matter to the attention of his or her professors. Thereafter, the professors in
consultation will alleviate the burden by determining which exam will be rescheduled.

22
WAIVING OF REQUIREMENTS AND REGULATIONS
When circumstances warrant, students may seek modification of, or exemption from,
one or more of the curricular requirements, course regulations, or academic policies set
forth above. Petitions for such modifications must be submitted to the Student Academic
Assistance Committee. The petition should (1) identify the requirement, regulation, or
policy in question, (2) state the particular modification or exemption which is being sought,
and (3) set forth the specific grounds and circumstances which justify the granting of the
petition. Petition forms are available in, and should be returned to, the Registrar’s Office.
GRADING POLICIES
Students receive an electronic grade report for each of the three terms, but there are only
two grading periods for purposes of calculating grade point averages. The first grading
period coincides with the Fall Term enrollment period, and is called the Fall Grading
Period. The second grading period combines the Winter and Spring enrollment periods
into a single grading period called the Winter/Spring Grading Period. Thus, a student will
have a term grade point average for the Fall Term and one for the Winter/ Spring Term.

A. Grade Classifications
The following grades carry the following weights in the computation of grade point
averages:
A 4.0 exceptional, excellent in all respects
A- 3.67
B+ 3.33
B 3.0 good
B- 2.67
C+ 2.33
C 2.0 satisfactory
C- 1.67
D+ 1.33
D 1.0 passing but unsatisfactory in some important respects
D- 0.67
F 0.0 failure
FN 0.0 flagrant neglect, failure to meet the most basic obligations
I incomplete
AU audit without credit
CR credit, no grade given
R course repeated at a later date for another grade
S pass (C- or better) in a pass-fail course
U fail (D+ or less) in a pass-fail course
W withdrawal
Z deferred grade

23
B. Computation of Grade Point Averages
1. The computation of the grade point averages required for graduation from the College,
completion of a major course of study, and receipt of graduation honors shall include
only grades earned in courses offered by Hanover College, and taught by its instructors,
as well as in affiliated Off-Campus Study Programs.

2. The computation of the grade point average in the major shall include the grades earned
in all courses which have been identified, whether in the College catalog or by the
department/committee administering the program, as required for and/or as eligible to
be counted toward the major.

3. The grade earned on the comprehensive evaluation in the area of major study shall be
included, with a weight of 1.0 course unit, in the computation of all required grade
point averages.

C. Incompletes
Under certain circumstances, students who find themselves unable to meet all
requirements of a course within the time allotted for the term may petition the Registrar
to be granted an extension or “Incomplete.” The student should obtain the appropriate
form from the Registrar’s Office and consult with the instructor.

1. An Incomplete may be granted only upon the grounds of a personal medical problem, a
disabling family situation, or other circumstances beyond a student’s control, and must
be approved by the Registrar prior to the end of the term.

2. The petition of the Incomplete must indicate whether or not the instructor supports the
granting of the Incomplete and must specify the date recommended by the instructor
(in consultation with the student) for completion of the work.

3. The date agreed upon for completion of the work should be as soon after the conclusion
of the term in which the Incomplete is granted as is consistent with the individual
circumstances of the student and with sound educational practice, but in no event shall
it exceed the end of the sixth week of the following enrollment period (including the
summer enrollment period).

4. When approved, an Incomplete authorizes the instructor to file a temporary grade of “I”
for the student at the end of the term. At the end of the time specified for completion
of the work, the instructor will evaluate the work that has been done and submit an
appropriate course grade to the Registrar, who shall enter it in the student’s record in
place of the “I.”

5. In the event that the student fails to complete the work in the time specified, a
grade of “F” shall be entered for the course, unless the Registrar upon reviewing the
case determines that the student be granted either a further extension of time or a
withdrawal from the course.

24
D. Z Grade
The Z grade is to be used under certain circumstances where a faculty member finds
himself or herself unable to meet the deadline for submitting a grade for a given semester.
In such cases the faculty member may submit a Z as a grade for a student.

1. The Z grade must be converted to an appropriate final course grade as soon after the
conclusion of the term in which the grade is granted as is consistent with the individual
circumstances of the faculty member, but in no event shall it exceed the end of the second
week of the following enrollment period (including the summer enrollment period).

2. In the event that a faculty member cannot enter an appropriate final course grade in the
time specified, a letter of notification must be submitted to the Registrar explaining why
the Z grade was given and a date by which the final grade will be filed.
E. Appeal of Grades
A student who believes that the evaluation of his or her work by a faculty member is unfair
or inaccurate shall be entitled to make an appeal, following the procedure outlined below:

1. The appeal must be initiated no later than 30 days after final grades are posted. The
appeal procedures described below must be completed by the end of the seventh week
of the next enrollment period.

2. The first stage of appeal should be made to the faculty member involved, with whom
it is expected most cases will be resolved. During this conference, the student and the
faculty member can review the procedure by which the evaluation was made and the
basis upon which the grade was determined.

3. When an instructor agrees that an error in computation or judgment has been made, a
Change of Grade form should be completed by the instructor, and then filed with the
Registrar, who must approve the change.

4. If the conference with the instructor does

not satisfy the student, the student may
appeal the grade to the Dean of Academic
Affairs. The Dean of Academic Affairs will
assign the appeal to an Associate Dean,
who will meet with the student, the faculty
member, and, at the Associate Dean’s
discretion, another member of the faculty,
preferably a senior member or chair of
the department. He or she may request an
examination of all papers, records, and other
information pertinent to the appeal. After
deliberation, the Associate Dean will render
a decision and notify both the student and
the faculty member of that decision.

5. If the decision is unacceptable to either the

student or the instructor, either may appeal
the case to the Dean of Academic Affairs.
The decision of the Dean is final.

25
ACADEMIC STANDING
A. Good Academic Standing
Good academic standing is determined by a student’s success in meeting the academic
standards mandated by the faculty of the College. These standards are defined in terms
of the grade point average. Students currently on academic probation are not regarded as
being in good academic standing.
1. Term GPA. The minimum required grade point average for each regular enrollment
period (term) is one in excess of 1.50.
2. Cumulative GPA. The minimum cumulative grade point average required of students is
defined in terms of the total number of course units accumulated toward graduation by
the end of an enrollment period. They are as follows:
a. For students with 1.0 to 4.9 course units, a GPA in excess of 1.50;
b. For students with 5.0 to 9.9 course units, a GPA of 1.75 or above;
c. For students with 10.0 to 14.9 course units, a GPA of 1.90 or above;
d. For students with 15.0 or more course units, a GPA of 2.00 or above.
B. Academic Probation and Dismissal
1. Academic Probation. At the end of any given regular enrollment period, a student
will automatically be placed on academic probation under either one of the following
circumstances: (a) the student earns a grade point average of 1.50 or less during the
enrollment period; (b) the student fails to achieve the required minimum cumulative
grade point average (see A.2 above). The probation status under (a) above may
be waived by the Registrar for extenuating circumstances, provided the student’s
cumulative grade point average exceeds 2.0; to ensure being heard, a written appeal
must be filed with the Registrar’s Office within 10 days of the student’s receipt of
notification of probationary status. Summer term is not a regular enrollment period.
2. Academic Dismissal. At the end of any given regular enrollment period, a student
will automatically be dismissed from the College under any one of the following
circumstances: (a) the student is currently on probation and fails to earn a grade
point average of 2.0 or better for the enrollment period; (b) the student is currently on
probation and fails to achieve the required minimum cumulative grade point average
(see A.2 above); (c) the student, whether currently on probation or not, earns a grade
point average of 1.0 or less for the enrollment period. Summer term is not a regular
enrollment period.
3. Appeal of Dismissal. A dismissed student may petition the Student Academic
Assistance Committee for reinstatement on the basis of a pattern of improving
performance or extenuating circumstances. To ensure being heard, a written appeal
must be filed with the Registrar’s Office within the time period stated in the notification
of dismissal.
4. Readmission after Dismissal. Students who are dismissed are eligible to apply for
readmission after a period of one year. Readmission is not automatic and will depend
upon demonstrated productive activity in the interim. Under unusual circumstances,
such as exceptional achievement, a student may appeal for readmission after a period
of less than one year. A student desiring readmission should apply by requesting an
Application for Readmission from the Registrar’s Office.

26
ACADEMIC DISHONESTY
The faculty of the College has adopted the following policies governing the identification
of academically dishonest procedures on the part of students and the disciplinary actions
appropriate to and/or prescribed for them.
A. Academic Dishonesty Defined
An academically dishonest act is defined as “any action with the intent to deceive in order to
gain an unfair advantage.” Such procedures as the following are academically dishonest:
1. The use by a student of material from published or unpublished sources without
acknowledging those sources (see the faculty statement on “The Use of Source Materials”);
2. Submitting to a course, without acknowledgment, a paper that has been written in whole
or in part by another person;
3. Copying answers written by another student for a quiz, examination, or other assignment;
4. “Collaborative” efforts in which students write together papers or portions of papers or other
assignments and submit them to their instructors without acknowledging that collaboration;
5. The submission of the same paper, or substantially the same paper, by a student to two
different courses without prior consultation with the instructors involved;
6. The falsification of documentation for a paper;
7. The falsifying of data for a laboratory assignment;
8. Any other procedure which involves the intent to deceive in order to obtain an unfair
advantage, including the knowing and willing assistance of others in the practice of
academically dishonest procedures.
B. Penalties for Academic Dishonesty
1. The Faculty recognizes that students, in performing their academic duties, may engage
in procedures, such as faulty or inadequate documentation, which are not the result
of dishonesty, but derived from carelessness, confusion, lack of attention, etc. Such
procedures are academically unacceptable, and an instructor should, at his or her own
discretion, penalize a student for employing them.
2. However, when a student submits a paper, an examination, or any other assignment that is
substantially the result of an academically dishonest procedure, the student shall receive a
“0” for the paper, examination, or assignment, and his or her grade for the course shall be
lowered not less than one letter grade.
3. An instructor should not assess a penalty for an academically dishonest procedure until
he or she has made a thorough investigation of the matter and, if possible, conferred with
the student or students in question.
4. Should a student who has already been penalized for an academically dishonest procedure
commit a second offense in the same course, he or she shall receive a grade of “F” for the
course and shall be removed from it. A student in such a situation shall not be permitted a
discretionary withdrawal from the course in question.
5. Instructors who take disciplinary action against students are required to file a written
report of each such instance and of the action taken with the chair of the Student Academic
Assistance Committee.
C. Appeal Process for Academic Dishonesty
As in all other instances of evaluations made and grades assigned by instructors, students have
the right of appeal (see section on Appeal of Grades). Successful appeals of Academic
Dishonesty will have the report expunged from the Student Academic Assistance Committee
(SAAC) record.
27
D. Repeated Instances of Academic Dishonesty

 Areas of Competency and Engagement (ACEs)
Competency and Engagement designations represent a campus-wide commitment to the
skills and awareness expected of an educated person. These courses are offered throughout
the curriculum and across disciplines. Most students will fulfill them in conjunction with
CCRs or their major requirements.
1. Writing and Speaking (WS) — A 2-level Writing (W) requirement and a Speaking (S) requirement.
Developing strong writing and speaking skills is a hallmark of a Hanover education.
Hanover College courses across the curriculum include instruction and practice in
communication skills, as students are expected to participate actively in class discussions
and debates; write essays and term papers; present their research in class and at
conferences; and make effective arguments on important issues within their field and in
society at large.
Although almost all Hanover courses involve writing and speaking experiences, some classes
have been given specific designations due to the type of guidance and assignments they offer.
Writing 1 (W1)
The central aims of courses that fulfill the W1 designation are to: 1) learn and engage in
college-level writing; 2) take clear and purposeful positions on subjects of importance
and support them effectively through a thesis statement, supporting evidence, and cogent
arguments that lead to a clear conclusion; 3) understand writing as a process by revising
for clarity, consistency, and mechanical correctness; and 4) demonstrate the ability to
document evidence. A W1 course should be taken in a student’s first semester at Hanover
if at all possible.

Classical Studies
Baechle, Gregory, O’Neill, Pittenger
Classics: Archaeology and History
This major is designed for students whose primary interests are in archaeological, historical, and/
or art historical studies of the ancient world. In courses on archaeology and art, students will have
more time to become familiar with the available archaeological evidence and notable architectural
and artistic remains of the Ancient Mediterranean world; they will also learn how these are
procured, preserved, and used to understand ancient culture. In history courses, students will get
more grounding in ancient historical texts and in current scholarly discussions of ancient history,
and they will study the methods and aims of both modern and ancient historians.
Major: GRE 218 or LAT 218; CLA 225 or CLA 228; CLA 251 or CLA 252; two 300-level
courses in ancient art and/or archeology or in history; three other appropriate courses as
determined by the Classical Studies Department; CLA 401; CLA 471 (culminating experience).
Comprehensive evaluation (CLA 499) with passing grade.
Total of 10.5 major courses.
Minor: CLA 225; CLA 251 or CLA 252; three additional Classical Studies, Latin, or Greek
courses (not including LAT 115-116 or GRE 115-116), one of which must be at the 300-level.
Except for courses specifically required for the student’s major, no more than one of these
courses may be counted toward this minor and either a major or another minor. Total of 5
minor courses.

Classics: Language and Literature

Classics is the study of the cultures and cultural values of ancient Greece and Rome. A
foundation for that study is learning to read and analyze ancient texts in the original languages.
The “Language and Literature” major, therefore, employs language study to hone a student’s
ability to translate texts faithfully and to develop crucial analytic skills. It is meant for those
students who will spend most of their time studying ancient texts in Greek and Latin. In
some cases, this means students interested in literature, philosophy, or early Christianity. In
others, this will mean students with a broad range of interests that includes further study in
the languages. Thus, this major is designed to help students to become competent at learning
Greek and/or Latin, as students in Classical Studies have always done; on the other hand, it
is designed flexibly in order to accommodate this wide range of possible student interests.
Options also exist for those students wishing only to minor in Greek or in Latin (please refer to
the portions of the catalog devoted to course-offerings in those languages, below).
74
Major: Two 300-level courses in Greek and/or Latin; CLA 251 or 252; CLA 401; CLA 471
(culminating experience); four other appropriate courses as determined by the Classical Studies
Department. Comprehensive evaluation (CLA 499) with passing grade.
Total of 8.5 major courses.
CLA 100. Mythology. Depending on the instructor, the course will be an introduction to
Greek myth or to Roman myth and Roman uses of Greek myth. Topics may include: myth
in its historical and social context, myth as a conceptual language for expressing a culture’s
world-wide view, modern theoretical understandings of the functions of myth, myth as part of
a literary and artistic tradition.
CLA 160. Special Topics.
CLA 162. Ancient Eurasia. An examination of great works of literature and art of Greece,
Rome, India, and China from about 2500 BCE to 0 CE. This period saw the founding and
development of both western culture, in the Greco-Roman period, and the non-western
cultures of India and China. The course will trace such themes as Ultimate Reality and the
human relationship to it, mortality, the good life, love, heroism, and leadership through the
literature and art of these ancient cultures. Partially satisfies the LA CCR. Satisfies the S ACE
Satisfies the CP ACE.
CLA 163. Argument & Persuasion in Antiquity.The art of oratory (i.e., public speaking)
was developed and elaborated by both the ancient Greeks and the Romans. Persuasion and
oral arguments were crucial for the conduct of politics and the law-courts. Not only were
famous political and court speeches painstakingly preserved and avidly read, but ancient
historical narratives, philosophical works, and even stage dramas also contain extended
speeches exhibiting many of the same rhetorical features as their “real-world” cousins. Students
in this course will read and analyze a variety of ancient Greek and/or Roman speeches as
well as theoretical works about speech-making, all in English translation. They will also give
several speeches of their own in which they will construct arguments and practice persuasive
techniques. dentical to COM 163. Partially satisfies the HS CCR. Satisfies the S ACE
CLA 171. Ancient Comedy and Tragedy. This course studies both samples of Greek and
Roman comedy and tragedy and examples of later Western drama that respond to and
reinterpret ancient ideas of drama. In doing so, it examines the conventions of each genre and
various ways in which drama can be approached and interpreted. Partially satisfies the LA
CCR. Satisfies the W1 ACE.
CLA 172. Ancient Epic. Starting from study of one or more ancient epics, the Iliad, Odyssey,
Aeneid etc., the course moves on to further examples of Greek or Roman epics, or non-western
epics (like Gilgamesh and the Bhagavad Gita), or later literary and artistic works in the western
tradition. Possible topics: the epic hero, adventures and journeys, ancient religion(s), and the
nature of literary and artistic traditions. Partially satisfies the LA CCR. Satisfies the W1 ACE.
CLA 173. The Writing of History. Narrative history was an important form of writing in
the ancient world. Famous authors such as Herodotus, Thucydides, Livy, Tacitus, and others
produced extended literary works in which historical events were recounted in an effort to

Education
Bailey, Bennett, Hanson, Roth
The Education Department of Hanover College is devoted to developing teachers who are
competent, committed, culturally responsive and critically reflective. There are eight different
pathways available through the Educator Preparation Program to achieve these goals:
• Elementary Education major (no teaching certification)
• Elementary Education major + teaching certification for grades K-6
• Secondary Education major (no teaching certification)
• Secondary Education major + an approved content area major + teaching certification for
grades 5-12
• Secondary Education major + an approved content area major + teaching certification for
grades P-12
• Approved content area major + basic secondary teaching certification for grades 5-12
• Approved content area major + all grade teaching certification for grades P-12
• Teaching Diverse Learners (mild interventions) special education program that can be paired
with elementary (grades K-6) or secondary (grades 5-12) or all grade (grades p-12) teaching
certification
All pathways require admission into the Educator Preparation Program. Admission guidelines
can be found on the Educator Preparation Program webpage at education.hanover.edu.
Elementary Education Major: The elementary education major focuses on the learner in
grades K-6 and requires admission to the Educator Preparation Program. This major integrates
liberal arts coursework with educational theory, pedagogy, and methodology. As early as the
freshman year, students will be engaged in the elementary classroom; this continues throughout
the entire education curriculum with over 100 hours spent in the classroom before graduation.
Elementary Education candidates will be required to complete either an approved liberal arts
minor or seek mild interventions certification through the Teaching Diverse Learners Program.
This contributes to teacher candidates having a strong content area focus and a firm foundation
in the liberal arts, which stresses critical thinking, problem-solving, communication skills, and
lifelong learning.
Elementary Education Certification: This option provides the necessary certification for
to be eligible for licensing certification in grades K-6. Students wishing to pursue this option
must complete the requirements for the Elementary Education major. In addition, the students
will take the elective EDU 456 Student Teaching in the Elementary School and MAT 212
Mathematics for Elementary School Teachers.
86
Secondary Education Major: The Secondary Education major focuses on the learner in
grades 5-12 and requires admission to the Educator Preparation Program. Students majoring
in secondary education will have the depth of knowledge important to work with adolescents
and beyond, including important differences targeting middle school versus high school student
needs. This major includes additional coursework that provides the student with additional
advanced knowledge in key areas: educational technology, special education policy, and
classroom management.
Secondary Education Major with Certification: The Secondary Education major provides
for an enhanced preparation that is highly-desired among school employers and as such, is the
recommended path for Secondary Education students. For teaching certification, the Secondary
Education major must be paired with an approved content area major. This option provides the
necessary certification to be eligible for licensing certification in grades 5-12. Students wishing to
pursue this option must complete the requirements of an approved program content area major,
plus the Secondary Education major, along with certification requirements, including PSY 111,
PSY 244, and the elective EDU 455, Student Teaching in the Secondary School, as well as EDU
226, 252, 255, 461 and EDU 499. A list of approved majors and supporting areas for programs
leading to Secondary Education certification is available later in this catalog. Students in
Secondary Educator Preparation Programs have a liberal arts major advisor well as an Education
Department advisor.
Basic Secondary Education Certification: Students may choose to pursue a secondary
education certification and to take courses focused on secondary education without pursuing
the secondary education major. This option requires a major in a content-area and certification
coursework including EDU 455 Student Teaching in the Secondary School but does not
include the advanced courses and the comprehensive examination required by the Secondary
Education major.
All Grade Education Certification: This option makes P-12 Certification available to students
in Health/Physical Education, Theatre Arts, Visual Arts, and World Languages. To complete
these P-12 Programs, candidates would complete EDU 459. Student Teaching in a P-12
Environment will include all grade levels within one placement, but otherwise is the same as the
Secondary Education certification requirements (with or without the dual Secondary Education
major).
Teaching Diverse Learners Program: This is a dual certification program that leads to special
education certification for P-12 Special Needs – Mild Interventions that is to be paired with
either Elementary Education (K-6) or Secondary Education (5-12). More specifically, this
program includes advanced concepts designed to prepare you to teach students with a variety of
special education needs. Because of the high demand for teachers who are qualified to work with
diverse learners, you can expect a wide range of career opportunities. Five courses are required
in addition to an Elementary or a Secondary base preparation: EDU 252, 253, 254, 255 and
256. Integrated student teaching (EDU 458) will include both regular and special education
requirements contained within one placement.
*This is not a “stand-alone” program
All Education students: All students seeking majors and/or certification at the K-6 elementary
level, the 5-12 secondary level, or the P-12 all grade levels are required to be admitted to the
Educator Preparation Program (EPP), preferably during their sophomore year. Application
guidelines are available through the Education Department. Students must take EDU 221
(Education & the American Culture) as the gateway course to the program and may take EDU

Environmental Science
Bevis, Gall, Mynhardt, Pantelidis, Philipp, Pretorius, Rubino, Van Iten
Environmental Science is the study of the interactions among the physical, chemical, and
biological components of the environment. The Environmental Science Program at Hanover
College provides a firm foundation in the natural sciences, exploration of career pathways in
environmental science, and active participation in environmental science.
Interested students are advised to begin their program in the Winter Term of their first year or
sophomore year by taking a ¼ credit Environmental Science Seminar (ENV 201). This seminar
will introduce students to the field of Environmental Science and opportunities at Hanover
College. A one credit foundation course, ENV 265 (Global Environmental Change) is also
required. The Environmental Science Program asks that students acquire a strong foundation
in a natural science discipline; therefore Environmental Science students must choose a focal
science: Biology, Geology, Geochemistry, or Geophysics and, in consultation with their
Environmental Science advisor, plan a curriculum that supports their interest in Environmental
Science through their major courses, CCR/ACE choices choices, and electives. They will take
401 in Winter Term of their senior year and present the results of an environmental research or
an internship experience (ENV 408-409, 457, or 471).
Due to the significant overlap of courses, students cannot double major in Biology,
Biochemistry, Geology, Chemistry or Physics and a correlated Environmental Science
track (e.g., a student cannot double major in Chemistry and the Env Geochemistry track
or in Geology and the Env Geochemistry track). A student can double major in Biology,
Biochemistry, Geology, Chemistry, or Physics and an Environmental Science track that
does not have significant overlap (e.g., a student could double major in Chemistry and the
Env Environmental Biology track). Students cannot major in more than one track in the
Environmental Science major.
Major: ENV 201 (must be taken in the freshman or sophomore year); ENV 265; ENV 401 (must
be taken in the senior year); and either ENV 408-409*, ENV 457 or ENV 471 (culminating
experience), are core courses required of all Environmental Science majors. [* The ENV 408-409
option is only available to majors in the Environmental Geochemistry or Environmental Geophysics
tracks.] In addition, students must elect one of four tracks: Environmental Biology, Environmental
Geology, Geochemistry, or Geophysics. Courses have been chosen for each track because of their
relevance to the field of Environmental Science. Cognates for each track require the student to take
coursework in at least two other natural science disciplines.
Minor: ENV 201(must first be taken in the freshman or sophomore year), ENV 265, ENV
401, Environmental Science Seminar (must be taken in the senior year). In consultation
with an environmental Science Minor faculty member, take at least four other courses in the
natural sciences; no more than two 16X courses from the natural science disciplines may be
counted toward the minor. Students interested in the Environmental Science Minor who are
majoring in a natural science discipline must focus coursework for the minor in natural science
disciplines other than the major discipline. Total of 5.5 courses.

History
Brautigam, Miller, Murphy, Raley, M. Vosmeier, S. Vosmeier.
Major: History courses – Nine, including 372 and 471 (culminating experience), but not
including 100 level courses.
Recommended: 215, 216, 217.
Comprehensive evaluation, with passing grade.
Minor: History courses – Five.
History courses are designed to engage students in substantive historical inquiry, encourage
independent and creative thinking, and promote excellence in undergraduate scholarship.
Students should expect to consider and eventually to identify significant historical questions, to
analyze primary documents with care and precision, to evaluate alternative arguments, to develop
coherent interpretations of historical problems, and to write with clarity, precision, and authority.
The history curriculum consists of a diverse range of courses, organized in a progressive
sequence. Introductory courses (100 level courses; 215-217) are integrative and comparative
courses designed to provide students with a foundation for more specialized work in upper-level
courses organized by geographic areas, time periods, and themes.
The history curriculum is intended for all students of the liberal arts, history majors and non-
majors alike. There are no prerequisites to history courses. Upper-level courses presuppose greater
sophistication in analytical and interpretive skills, but they do not assume knowledge of particular
content.
History majors, in consultation with their advisers, are expected to develop a well-balanced
major program combining breadth and depth and including both introductory and upper-level
courses from different areas of the history curriculum. Majors are encouraged to enroll in some
or all of the courses in the Western Civilization sequence (215-217). For their culminating
experience, history majors are to pursue a Senior Thesis (471), a semester-long research and
writing project resulting in a substantive and original thesis paper. The history comprehensive
examination is designed to test seniors both on their understanding of different civilizations and
eras and on their ability to analyze and interpret historical problems and to integrate material
from across the curriculum. The history department endorses the development of individual
plans of study, including internships and directed studies.

Race and Ethnic Studies

Hadley, Patterson, Zullo
The Race and Ethnic Studies minor is an interdisciplinary minor that allows students to
explore race and ethnic categories and identities on a global level. Courses in the minor may
investigate relationships between and within racial and ethnic groups as well as explore the way
race and ethnicity are constructed in different historical and cultural locations. Students will
be encouraged to ask: How do different cultures today understand race and ethnicity? How
have these categories been understood historically? How have these categories been used to
mark difference and create social hierarchies? What strategies have different cultures employed
to endure, negotiate, or challenge these social hierarchies? How do racial and ethnic identities
affect political participation and economic circumstance and how do economic and political
experiences shape understandings of race and ethnicity? Finally, how do the categories of race
and ethnicity intersect with other topics such as gender, sexuality, class, and religion?
Minor: This interdisciplinary minor requires 5 of the following courses. At least four of the five
courses must be at the 200-level or above, with no more than two courses in any single discipline.
We encourage students to petition SAAC with other courses, including special topics courses
substantially related to race and ethnic studies.

THS 111. The Theology and Ethics of MLK, Jr. This course is a study of the life, ministry,
and leadership of Martin Luther King, Jr. It is taught during Spring Term and includes 7-10
days of travel in Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and Tennessee. Satisfies the RP CCR. Satisfies
the CP ACE.
THS 112. God, Death & the Afterlife. This course pursues a number of questions that have
long been of theological concern: What is a soul? What happens to us when we die? How can
theology help me cope with mortality and grief? What is eternity like? Do I want to be buried?
We will examine ancient, medieval, and modern perspectives on such queries, sometimes from
several religious traditions. We will also examine the impact of science and technology on these
conversations. Satisfies the RP CCR.
THS 160. Special Topics.
THS 161. Theology and the Human Condition. Central issues in theology will be raised
by asking: What is a human being? What does it mean to be human? Various answers to these
questions and the theological frameworks that support them will be examined. Satisfies the
RP CCR.

154
THS 164. Theological Perspectives on Nature. Study of central issues in theology through an
examination of various concepts of nature, such as those found in the Bible, Origen, Irenaeus,
Augustine, and St. Francis. Each concept of nature says something different not just about the
natural world, but also about what it means to be human and what our relationship with and
responsibility for the natural world should be.
THS 165. Theology and Ethics. Focuses on topics and texts in ethics and raises questions
everyone struggles with throughout life. What is the good life? What does it mean to be a good
person? How do we know what the good is? What is the nature of the good? Satisfies the RP
CCR.
THS 166. Theological Perspectives on Bodies. Study of central issues in theology through
an examination of various perspectives on the meaning of the human body and embodiment.
Questions that may be addressed: What does it mean to be embodied? What is the relationship
between spirit and body? How do societies interpret bodies? What role do race, gender,
sexuality and ability play in these interpretations? How do our actions and our beliefs serve to
harm or care for bodies? What happens to the body when we die?
THS 171. Interfaith Encounters. This course examines the topic of interfaith encounters. We
will ask questions about how people encounter the religious “other” and how these encounters
transform them. We will explore questions such as these: How are we supposed to make sense
of violence done in the name of religion? What approaches to religious exchange promote
peace? How might we engage in productive inter-religious dialogue? What would this dialogue
look like? Satisfies the RP CCR. Satisfies the W1 ACE.
THS 172. Issues in Religious Ethics. A survey of issues in the field of theological ethics.
Topics will vary from year to year, but will include such things as friendship, love and justice,
kinds of oppression, moral decision-making, sustainability, issues at the beginning and ending
of life, gender and sexuality, lying and truth-telling, the nature of family, violence and pacifism,
informed consent, conversation and community, and what it is that gets us out of bed in the
morning. Satisfies the RP CCR and the W1 ACE.
THS 222. Medical Ethics. An examination of major principles and topics in the field of
medical ethics. Topics may vary from year to year but will include most of these: definition
of death, euthanasia, assisted suicide, organ donation and transplantation, just distribution
of medical care, reproductive rights and technologies, medical confidentiality, the nature
of suffering and health and the purpose of medicine, genetic testing and therapies, medical
research, medical law, the relationship between patients/clients and medical professionals.
Content may vary according to students’ professional interests. Satisfies the W2 ACE.
THS 223. Religious Autobiography. This course will reflect on the role of autobiography in
communicating religious identity and will investigate how religious belief and practice intersect
with race, ethnicity, gender and sexuality. Throughout the semester we will examine experience
as a source of religious knowledge and authority. Students will critically reflect on numerous
religious autobiographies as well as write portions of their own autobiographical story.
THS 224. Great Spiritual Figures. This course will focus on one or more individuals in the
history of spiritual reflection who have had a significant impact on the lives of others. Specific
figures will differ from year to year. May be repeated for credit with permission of the instructor.
THS 225. Great Spiritual Questions. This course will focus on one or more perplexing issues
in the history of human spiritual reflection and practice. Specific questions will differ from year
to year. May be repeated for credit with permission of the instructor. Satisfies the RP CCR.
THS 226. Theologies of Religious Encounter. From its beginning Christianity has developed
in contact with other religions, yet today inter-religious encounter is happening in new and more
urgent ways. This course poses critical theological questions about such encounters: Can many
religious paths be “true”? If so, how? Does having faith in one religion require us to deny the value
and validity of other religious paths? What is the meaning of our neighbor’s faith for our own?
155
THS 227. Feminist Theologies. This course engages a spectrum of scholars across cultures
and religions who use the lens of gender to both claim and critically challenge their religious
traditions. Along the way, it considers how key themes in feminist thought—e.g., language,
embodiment, experience, power, selfhood/subjectivity, sexuality—have shaped the broader
development of contemporary theologies.
THS 228. Race, Ethnicity, and Religion. This course will investigate how racial and ethnic
identities shape religious experience as well as how religious worldviews inform understandings
of race and ethnicity. From liberation theology to Rastafarian music, from historical injustices
to hope for future justice, we will explore the intersections of race, ethnicity and religion. We
will analyze the myths, symbols, stories and histories that have created meaningful worlds for
various religious and ethnic groups. Satisfies the CP ACE.
THS 229. Comparative Religious Ethics. We will begin with two questions that lie behind
the project of comparative work in ethics: To what extent are ethical values and responsibilities
universal in scope and to what extent are they particular to traditions? Can we do comparative
work from inside traditions, or must we attempt to stand outside all of them in order to see
them more clearly? Then, using both ancient and contemporary texts and stories, we will
examine specific moral issues from the points of view of a number of religious traditions.
The final part of the course will focus on the meaning of comparative work for interreligious
dialogue and for life together in a fragile world. Satisfies the W2 ACE.
THS 231. God & Science. This course examines a theological and political conflict that
developed over the course of modernity: the controversial tension between forms of Christianity
and the broad field of the natural sciences that has come to be known as the conflict between
religion and science. As background to the controversy, students will briefly examine theological
texts from time periods such as the medieval, early modern, and Victorian era to gain a better
understanding of how perspectives on God and science have changed over time. The primary
focus of the course will be on the ways that 20th and 21st century theological thinkers have
engaged the sciences in order to better understand, and reinvent, this relationship, sometimes
thinking comparatively about how non-Christian or non-western traditions approach scientific
concerns. Students will be asked to reflect on, and explore, their own perspectives on the issues
and controversies.
THS 232. Introduction to the Old Testament. This course examines the Hebrew Bible (also
known as the Old Testament), focusing on biblical figures and narratives and on the history
and cultural world of the Ancient Israelites. We will explore the various literary genres in the
Hebrew Bible, discuss interpretive strategies for reading and understanding the biblical texts,
and examine scholarly theories that reflect on how (and when) these biblical texts may have
been composed.
THS 233. Introduction to the New Testament. This course examines the history and
theology of early Christianity through readings from the New Testament. Students will
reflect on the diverse texts of the New Testament—gospel writings, narratives, epistles, and
apocalypse—as products of the ancient Jewish and Greco-Roman worlds. In their study,
students will develop analytic tools for interpreting the New Testament in their contemporary
context.
THS 234. The Problem of Suffering. Virtually no one escapes suffering, a fact that has led
many human beings to accept a theological account of their life and has led many others to
reject all theological accounts they can imagine; after all, the latter ask, why would we suffer so
much if God were actually all-good and all-powerful. After spending some time thinking about
what suffering is and its role in our lives, we will examine several possible theological responses
to it. At the end of the course, each student will write her or his own carefully constructed

156
response, based primarily on the course materials, to the problem of the meaning and purpose
of suffering. Satisfies the RP CCR.
THS 235. Confronting Poverty in Indiana. An experiential learning course which examines
poverty and addiction in a regional context. Explores religious and philosophical models of
community engagement and social justice. Combines theological perspectives with sociological
examinations of a regional social problem both inside and outside the classroom. Identical to
SOC 235. Prerequisite: Sophomore standing.
THS 260. Special Topics.
THS 307. Directed Study. .50 unit.
THS 321. Gender, Sex, and Family in Judeo-Christian Tradition. This course will examine how
believers within the Judeo-Christian tradition have defined, negotiated and debated gender, sexuality,
and family roles. We will investigate interpretations of sacred texts, theological conversations,
historical shifts and ritual life in Judaism, Catholicism, Protestantism and Mormonism.
THS 325. Contemporary Theology. A study of some recent developments in Protestant and
Catholic theology. Offered alternate years.
THS 326. Sexual Ethics and the Christian Tradition. A study of many of the issues in the
field of sexual ethics, especially as these have been and continue to be shaped by the history and
doctrine of Christianity. Prerequisites: one previous ThS course and at least sophomore standing.
THS 327. Faith, Hope, and Love. This course explores theological, ethical, and practical
dimensions of faith, hope, and love, using both historical and contemporary texts drawn
primarily from the Christian tradition.
THS 331. Religion in America. This course focuses on the religious history of America from
before the creation of the United States up through the present day. It will explore the beliefs
and practices of America’s religious minorities and those of the Christian majority. As we
examine various religious faiths, we will investigate what members of each tradition believe,
how they practice their faith and what their experience of America was and is.
THS 332. History of Christianity. This course is designed to introduce students to the
genesis and spread of Christianity as a global religion. It will focus on internal divisions within
the Christian community with an emphasis on debates over orthodoxy and heresy. It will also
address Christian encounters with “the other” (other religious traditions, other cultural groups)
as it spread its message as a missionary religion.
THS 341. Early Christianity in Italy. An off-campus course in Italy focusing on the
development of Christianity in Italy from the apostolic times through the Renaissance with

OFF-CAMPUS STUDY OPPORTUNITIES
Hanover College strongly encourages its students to pursue their studies, interests, and goals
beyond the campus. Through Off-Campus Study students can expand their academic, intellectual,
and human horizons, gain invaluable experience, and distinguish their college and professional
careers. Currently there are four ways that Hanover students can study off-campus: enrollment in
1) a regularly scheduled off-campus Spring Term course, 2) an Affiliated Study Abroad Program,
3) an Affiliated City Semester Internship Programs, or 4) an individually arranged non-affiliated
off-campus study program.
1. Spring Term Off-Campus Courses
As part of the Hanover curriculum, many departments offer courses during the Spring
Term which afford students the opportunity of studying for some or all of the term at
various domestic and foreign sites. In recent years, students have traveled to Asia, Europe,
Latin America, and the Middle East, as well as to Washington, D.C., New York City, the
Southwest, and other locations in the United States. These courses are open to all students
who are in academic good standing and who are able to meet the prerequisites of the course.
There are additional fees associated with enrollment in these courses but participating
students may be eligible for refunds for board during their time away from campus.
Students who ordinarily take their meals at the Campus Center will receive a refund for
each consecutive seven days away from campus for the entire term. Students who reside
in fraternity or sorority houses should contact the appropriate chapter officers regarding
refunds. Eligible students can apply for competitive Spring Term Off-Campus Scholarships
to help defray part of the travel costs involved in an off-campus course.
2. Affiliated Study Abroad Programs
Hanover College’s Semester Study Abroad Program currently offers eighteen options. Each
allows Hanover students to spend a semester abroad taking courses that can be counted toward
a Hanover College degree. Participants in the College’s affiliated study abroad programs pay
regular Hanover tuition and room fees. In most cases students will receive 100 percent of
their scholarship money and any other financial aid. For many destinations, board fees will be
waived, because all food cost will be paid by the students at the study abroad location.” Some
destinations require board payment. A student who attempts to take a course on Hanover’s
campus during a term in which they are studying abroad (for instance, returning for a Spring
term course) will be charged additional tuition and appropriate room and board costs. Visit the
Study Abroad Office for detailed information about affiliated study abroad programs.
Study abroad programs are coordinated through the Study Abroad Office, located in Lynn
Hall. Students planning to study abroad should begin the process by meeting with the
Director of Study Abroad to discuss the goals of their study abroad experience and obtain
the necessary application materials. This meeting is followed by planning sessions with the
faculty advisor and the Registrar’s Office to ensure that all Core Curriculum Requirements
and Areas of Competency and Engagement Requirements, as well as major and other
graduation requirements will be met in a timely fashion. Approval for participation in
affiliated Hanover programs is granted after screening and selection processes are complete.
In some cases, consultations with the Financial Aid Office may also be necessary; students
seeking teacher certification, pre-med students, and Business Scholars should meet with the
appropriate member of their program. Hanover institutional scholarships can only apply to
one semester off-campus program, be that an affiliated study abroad program or one of the
affiliated city semester internship programs. Questions about financial aid can be addressed

162
to both the Office of Financial Aid and the Office of Study Abroad. Completed application
forms have to be returned to the Study Abroad Office for approval. Students need to notify
the Office of Study Abroad of their international study plans by February 15th of the
academic year preceding the semester abroad. In order to determine destination choices that
best fit the student’s academic, cultural, and personal criteria, students are encouraged to
attend information sessions, which take place at the beginning of every semester so that they
can gather information and make informed choices.
A. The Program in European Culture and Society (PECS) at the Katholieke Universiteit
(Leuven, Belgium). Established in 1425, the Katholieke Universiteit (KU Leuven) is
Belgium’s largest university and the oldest Catholic university in the world. KU-Leuven
has a reputation for distinctive scholarship with an international flavor. PECS offers
courses taught in English in nine academic areas: Business/Economics, Anthropology,
History, Languages, English and Literature, Philosophy, Political Science, Psychology,
and Religious Studies. Applicants to PECS must have completed their second year of
university-level study and be in good academic standing with a cumulative grade point
average of 3.0 or higher.
B. The Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha (Ciudad Real, Spain). Located in a small city
approximately 200 kilometers south of Madrid, the Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha
(UCLM) is part of a multi-campus system established in 1985. Ciudad Real itself is
relatively untouched by international influences and offers a unique environment that will
allow Hanover students to experience life in a typical Spanish community. Students who
participate in this exchange program take courses taught in Spanish and it is particularly
appropriate for Spanish language majors. Applicants must have a solid preparation in Spanish
evidenced by grades, a proficiency exam, and recommendations from the Spanish faculty.
C. The Universidad del Valle de Atemajac (Guadalajara, Mexico). The Universidad del
Valle de Atemajac (UNIVA) is located in a large, vibrant city 300 miles west of Mexico
City. It is a relatively young, private university with programs in business, communication,
computer science, Spanish, psychology, and graphic arts, among others. Classes are taught
in Spanish and students live with host families, both of which contribute to an excellent
cultural and educational experience. Applicants must have a solid preparation in Spanish
evidenced by grades, a proficiency exam, and recommendations from the Spanish faculty.
D. Philipps Universität (Marburg, Germany). Also known as the University of Marburg,
Philipps Universität is located in one of Central Germany’s historic cities. Marburg’s
medieval charm and close association with the University make it especially attractive to
students, German and international alike, who seek a genuine atmosphere of learning
in a town representative of life in modern Germany. The University offers courses that
will appeal to a wide variety of Hanover students, all taught in German. Applicants must
therefore have a solid preparation in German evidenced by grades, a proficiency test, and
recommendations from the German faculty. Philipps Universität also offers a program in
English, the International Undergraduate Study Program (IUSP), in which students take
an intensive German class followed by a semester of academic courses taught in English.
E. The University of Wollongong (Wollongong, Australia). Located on Australia’s east
coast an hour south of Sydney, the University of Wollongong lies on the forested lower
slopes of Mount Keira. Both the University and the city of Wollongong are rich in
cultural diversity. The University offers a wide variety of educational opportunities, many
of which take advantage of Australia’s unique location. These include courses relating to
Aboriginal culture, history, and society, as well as courses in various disciplines that feature
an approach from Down Under. Students can also take advantage of field trips and short-
term programs organized by environmental and student organizations. Applicants should
have a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.0.
163
 F. Bogaziçi University (Istanbul, Turkey). Bogaziçi University (BU) was founded by
Americans as Roberts College in 1863, and its American roots are reflected in the
appearance of the beautiful campus. One of Turkey’s premier universities, Bogaziçi overlooks
the Bosphorus Straits from a residential and retail community six miles from the center of
Istanbul, a large city rich in history and culture that straddles the border between Europe
and Asia. Courses are taught in English and cover a wide range of the liberal arts and the
sciences, offering unusual opportunities to Hanover students. The University attracts a
large number of international students, ensuring a rich cultural and intellectual experience.
Students must have a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.5 to participate. www.boun.edu.tr
G. Université François Rabelais de Tours (Tours, France). The Université François
Rabelais is located in Tours, a city in the Loire valley that is about an hour from Paris by
the fast train. It is a city rich in history and culture with beautifully preserved medieval
neighborhoods that blend with the city’s modern developments. Participants take courses
at the University through the UFR des Lettres, the largest unit of the university, with
courses in Literature, Business, History, Civilization, and Communication. Students may
also register for courses focused on increasing their proficiency in French written and oral
expression. Applicants must have excellent French language skills, a proficiency test and
recommendations from the French faculty. It is highly recommended that applicants have
a 3.0 cumulative GPA and a 3.0 GPA in French courses.
H. University Study Abroad Consortium. Hanover College is affiliated with the University
Study Abroad Consortium (USAC), through which Hanover students can choose from an
additional group of 18 study abroad destinations: South Korea, China, Thailand, India,
South Africa, Ghana, Sweden, Chile, Costa Rica, and Cuba (summer only). Additional
foreign language classes are available at all partner universities; the programs in Chile and
Costa Rica offer host family stays. These programs enable a global reach, offer rich and
diverse cultural experiences, and provide rigorous academic curricula. In addition, some
programs also afford service learning and/or internship opportunities. Students should
consult their academic advisors and the Director of Study Abroad in order to determine
which program makes the most sense for their academic pursuits and personal goals.
These programs are open to all majors, yet also have individual specialties and strengths.
They require maturity and cultural curiosity. GPA requirements vary from 2.5 to 3.0.
www.usac.unr.edu
I. The Irish-American Scholars Program. Through the Association of Presbyterian
Colleges and Universities (APCU), Hanover students have the opportunity to participate
in an exchange program partnered with five universities in Northern Ireland. Belfast
Metropolitan College, Queens University, St. Mary’s University College, Stranmillis
University College, and the University of Ulster offer academic and cultural programs
to all majors, so that students can choose the most appropriate host university. Belfast
provides unique historical perspectives and cultural opportunities to allow students to
gain a rich and varied experience while taking advantage of excellent academic programs.
Up to three applicants can be nominated by Hanover College; they must be sophomores
or juniors with a 3.2 GPA, and must submit application materials to the Office of Study
Abroad by February 1st. The host universities will then select applicants for participation.
3. Affiliated City Semester Internship Programs
Students may opt to participate in one semester-long off-campus internship program in
lieu of study abroad. Successful students earn four units of course credit through their
internship, coursework, and other program requirements. Hanover College bills students for
Hanover’s tuition plus a $500 fee, and students are eligible for Hanover College financial aid.
If scheduling permits, students studying during Winter/Spring term may choose to return
164
 to Hanover for a Spring Term class and will be charged additional tuition per unit, along
with room and board.  (See “Academic Internships” and “BSP 357” for information about
Hanover-supervised internships bearing academic credit.)
As there is a cap on the number of students who are approved each year to attend these
internship programs, students must apply through the Levett Career Center, which
coordinates the programs. Students should begin the application process at least a year in
advance by meeting with staff of the Levett Career Center to discuss options and to receive
an application packet. Approval for participation in these programs is required both from the
College and from the individual program.
The affiliated programs include:
A.The Chicago Program (Chicago, Illinois). Three semester-long urban experiential
internship/study tracks in Chicago are available: arts, entrepreneurship, and social justice.
The Chicago Program’s curriculum enables students to earn a full semester’s load through
four single-unit components. These include a two-day per week internship, 2 discipline-
specific seminar courses, and an independent study project in an area of their interest.
The program staff have contacts with more than 350 internship sites in a wide range of
fields and arrange both a host internship and an apartment for its students. Applicants
must have a minimum 2.5 cumulative grade point average. For more information about
the program, please see www.acm.edu/chicago.
B. The Philadelphia Center (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania). Featuring over 800 field
placements in a wide array of career fields from art to zoology, the Philadelphia Center
provides opportunities for professional exploration, intellectual development, independent
living and personal growth – in one of America’s largest and most dynamic cities.
Students participate in a city seminar which incorporates the urban environment as
resource and subject. They are taught independent living skills by finding their own living
accommodations and internships in a supportive environment. Applicants must have a
minimum 2.5 cumulative grade point average. For more information about the program,
please see www.tpc.edu.
C.The Washington Center (Washington, D.C.). As the seat of American government,
Washington, DC is a natural setting for political study. The Washington area also offers
opportunities in the areas of international affairs, media, business, science, and more. The
Center helps students to develop a program that includes a four-day per week internship
in their specific area of interest, a related academic elective, and a portfolio documenting
and summarizing the experience. The Center also arranges such programming as
breakfast meetings with members of Congress, lectures by distinguished leaders, and tours
and topical discussion opportunities. Applicants must have a minimum 2.5 cumulative
grade point average. For more information about the program, please see www.twc.edu.
4. Individually Arranged Non-Affiliated Off-Campus Programs
Recognizing that individual students may have interests which lead them in directions
distinct from those of the affiliated programs, Hanover College also assists students in
gathering information about other programs which might best meet their needs and in
developing a course of study. Students desiring to enroll in an individualized program must
have their programs approved in advance. While students will be considered withdrawn
from Hanover College during the term they study at a non-affiliated program, they will not
need to apply for readmission to the College upon returning from their off-campus study
experience. Extensive information about non-affiliated study abroad programs is available in
the Study Abroad Office.
165
TRANSFER OF CREDIT
Designated courses offered within an Affiliated Off-Campus Program will automatically be
accepted for Hanover College credit and grades earned in these courses will be included in
the computation of a student’s Hanover College grade point average and the determination of
graduation and academic honors.
Credit earned for course work undertaken in an individually arranged non-affiliated off-campus
program, when supported by an appropriate transcript, is eligible for transfer to Hanover (see
the section on Transfer Credit). Grades earned at such programs will not be included in the
computation of a student’s Hanover College grade point average. In general, credit is awarded
if the program meets the following criteria: (a) is sponsored by a regionally accredited college,
university, or a group of colleges within the United States; (b) pursues objectives which are
primarily academic in nature; (c) provides a program of instruction compatible with the
generally existing curricula found in U.S. colleges and universities; (d) provides a transcript of
achievement for each student recorded in terms compatible with policies and practices generally
in effect among U.S. collegiate registrars; and (e) provides the student a degree of supervision
and counseling services such that a meaningful educational program may be pursued.
Students who enroll directly in a foreign university where the designations of credit and quality
of achievement may be different from those in the United States, should provide the College
with all pertinent information on which an evaluation may be based. Credit earned for course
work undertaken in such institutions may be eligible for transfer to Hanover upon receipt of a
transcript from an accredited institution or upon recommendation by the Dean of the College
on the basis of departmental evaluations of the work done abroad. Grades earned for such
credits will not transfer to Hanover College. Please consult with the Director of Study Abroad,
your faculty advisor, and the Registrar’s Office regarding self-designed programs.

FINANCIAL REQUIREMENTS
Financial requirements for off-campus study opportunities vary depending on the type of
program in which a student wishes to enroll. Faculty teaching Spring Term off-campus courses
normally set additional course fees, which are over and above the normal tuition fees for the
semester. Participants in the College’s affiliated study abroad programs pay regular Hanover
tuition and room fees. Most students will receive 100 percent of their scholarship money and any
other financial aid. Board fees will be waived, with the exception of the programs to Australia,
Mexico, and Spain, and all food costs will be paid for out of pocket by the student at the study
abroad location. If a student enrolls in a non-affiliated study abroad program, he or she must pay
that institution’s program fees, and will not receive any Hanover College scholarship money.
Students should contact the Study Abroad Office for information about the financial
requirements of the specific off-campus program in which the student is interested.

THE FUND FOR OFF-CAMPUS STUDY

This fund provides financial support to students enrolled in international and domestic Spring
Term off-campus courses offered by Hanover College. Spring Term Scholarships are distributed
on the basis of a combination of financial need as determined by the standard financial aid
formula, and academic merit as determined by the Student Academic Assistance Committee
(determination is based on an essay competition). Applications are available in the Study
Abroad Office. This program is made possible through generous gifts from Dr. Eileen Sinclair,
Dr. Emma Hill, Dr. Dorothy Bucks, and other endowment gifts.

166
INDIVIDUALIZED STUDY COURSES
Opportunities for individualized study are available through the following programs of the
College, all of which carry regular course credit.

SENIOR THESIS AND DIRECTED STUDY

Individualized study programs under the guidance of a faculty member are available in the
form of both directed studies and senior theses. Both programs require of the student a capacity
for self-initiated and independent work. In order to ensure adequate time for the planning of
and preparation for the course, the student should meet with the supervising instructor well in
advance of the beginning of the term in which the study is to be undertaken.
1. General Guidelines
a. The supervising instructor has a prime responsibility to guide students to projects which
are feasible in terms of time and personnel, as well as library and laboratory resources.
b. The department should prepare for each of these programs a syllabus or outline which
is consistent with institutional guidelines and standards and which specifically delineates
departmental expectations for Directed Studies and Senior Theses.
c. All individual study projects are formal courses that require permission of the supervising
instructor prior to registration. By signing the registration form the instructor affirms his
or her availability and willingness to supervise a project.
2. Senior Thesis
a. A Senior Thesis is often required by departments as the culminating experience in their
major program. These projects introduce students to the practice of a discipline by
allowing them to conduct a serious scholarly project under the supervision of a faculty
member. Senior Thesis projects carry one full unit of credit.
b. Students must file a Senior Thesis application with the Registrar by the last day of the
drop/add period in the term in which the project is to be undertaken. A specific topic and
outline also must be filed with the supervising instructor by May 15, Dec. 1, or March 15
for enrollment in the Fall, Winter, or Spring terms, respectively.
c. The student must file a copy of the completed Senior Thesis with the Duggan Library
before he or she can receive a diploma.
d. A student may enroll in two Senior Thesis courses during the same term only with the
permission of the Student Academic Assistance Committee.
3. Directed Study
a. Directed Study courses, carried out under the supervision of an appropriate faculty
member, are available to selected students who have an adequate background in the
discipline and who have demonstrated an ability to work independently and on their own
initiative. A Directed Study may carry one-half or one full unit of credit, with a workload
comparable to that of similar courses in the department.
b. The student, in consultation with the faculty member who has agreed to supervise the
project, must develop a detailed course proposal. The proposal should set forth the
specific learning objectives of the study, the materials to be covered, the work expected
of the student, and the criteria for evaluation. A copy of the proposal, bearing the signed
approval of the supervising instructor and of the departmental chair, must be filed with
the Registrar no later than the last day of the drop/add period in the term in which the
student intends to undertake the directed study.
167
 c. Directed study courses are to be carried out at the College during the regular academic year
and may not duplicate existing courses, which are a part of the regular curricular offerings
of the College. Students may take no more than one directed study course per term and no
more than three directed study courses during the enrollment at Hanover. Any exceptions to
these policies must be approved in advance by the Student Academic Assistance Committee.

ACADEMIC INTERNSHIPS
The Nature and Goal of the Program
The Internship Program is designed to augment the educational purposes of Hanover College
by offering students an opportunity to extend their liberal arts education into areas beyond
the traditional classroom. Students are placed in a supervised position in a field of their choice.
Here they have the chance to apply the knowledge received in their formal education to actual
work situations and to enhance that knowledge with the practical experience which they gain
in the process. In this way, students are afforded a means of exploring specific career options
and of broadening their vision of the world and its needs. The program thus aims at making
students more mature, experienced and responsible participants in the various communities
into which they will enter upon graduation from Hanover. The first time an academic
internship creates an overload situation, no additional tuition for the internship will be charged.
Minimum Requirements
1. Eligibility.
a. Class Standing. The student must have achieved at least a sophomore class standing.
b. G.P.A. The student must have a cumulative G.P.A. of 2.0 or better.
c. Limitations. Students may engage in only one internship experience of any kind during
a given term, and may take no more than two academic internships during the course of
their college career. Of these, only one can be in the student’s major, and the second must
be in a discipline other than the first.
2. Hours Required. The internship must have a minimum of 160 contact hours within one
academic term or during the summer months.
3. Reading Requirement. The internship experience must include a substantial reading
requirement. A reading list will be developed by the student in consultation with, and must
be approved by, the Faculty Supervisor and the On-Site Supervisor.
4. Presentation. The student will be required to present the results of the internship experience
before a public forum, with the performance being evaluated by the Faculty Supervisor and
the Director of Service Engagement and Experiential Learning or Director of Internships.
5. Analytical Essay. The student will be required to submit an extended essay, whose particular
format and length will be determined by the Faculty Supervisor, in which the student
analyzes and evaluates the internship experience, seeking to correlate it with relevant
academic work and especially with the readings which have been assigned for the internship.
Copies of the essay are to be submitted to the Faculty Supervisor and the Director of Service
Engagement and Experiential Learning or Director of Internships.
6. On-Site Supervisor’s Report. A written report, describing the student’s internship
experience, and evaluating his or her performance in it, will be submitted by the On-Site
Supervisor to the Director of Service Engagement and Experiential Learning or Director of
Internships, who will forward copies to the Faculty Supervisor and to the student.

168
Evaluation and Credit
Final responsibility for the evaluation of the student’s achievement in the internship experience
and determination of the final grade to be assigned for the course lies with the Faculty
Supervisor. The evaluation will be made on the basis of the public presentation, the analytical
essay, the written report of the On-Site Supervisor, the Director of Service Engagement and
Experiential Learning or Director of Internships’ assessment, and such other work as the
Faculty Supervisor may require (e.g., conferences during the term, journals, reports). The
internship experience will be subject to all appropriate faculty regulations governing courses,
and will receive one unit of credit; the grade received will be included in the calculation of the
student’s grade point average.
Termination
If an internship is terminated by the host agency prior to its completion and due to
circumstances beyond the student’s control, a grade of “W” will be recorded; if, however, the
termination is confirmed to be the result of the student’s failure to perform responsibly in the
position, a grade of “F” will be recorded. A student-initiated withdrawal from an internship
experience will be subject to the faculty regulations governing course withdrawals.
Application and Approvals
The student’s application for an Internship Experience must be approved by the Faculty
Supervisor, the On-Site Supervisor, the Director of Service Engagement and Experiential
Learning or the Director of Internships, and the Registrar’s Office. Applications are available in
the Levett Career Center’s Office of Service Engagement and Experiential Learning or from the
Director of Internships.

STAR GRANTS
The Student Travel Award for Research (STAR) program supports the intellectual development
of Hanover students by supporting their efforts to become accomplished scholars. STAR
grants are awarded to students who participate actively in person as organizers of or presenters
at meetings held off-campus and devoted to the dissemination of scholarship and/or creative
works. The Student Academic Assistance Committee evaluates applications from students to
cover the costs of registration, travel, room, and board incurred while they actively participate
at these professional meetings. Individual awards of up to $500 per academic year per student
are available. Current students and graduates attending meetings no more than three months
post-graduation may apply for reimbursement of expenses. Applications may be obtained from
the Office of Service Engagement and Experiential Learning.

RICHTER GRANTS
A. The Nature and Purpose of the Program
The Richter Grant Program is funded by money received from the Paul K. Richter and
Evelyn Elizabeth Cook Richter Memorial Funds established by J. Edward Richter. The
program provides students with opportunities to engage in a wide range of independent
learning experiences which are of special interest to them, but which are not normally a part
of the College curriculum. Students conceive and design particular learning experiences of
their own, which are to be carried out at either domestic or international sites, and then
seek funding for their projects from the Student Academic Assistance Committee, which
administers the program.

169
B. Eligibility and Application
1. Any fulltime Hanover student is eligible to apply for a grant under the program, but
the project for which funds are being sought must be one which can be undertaken and
completed during the time in which he or she is enrolled at the College. Applicants must
observe the College’s academic year in defining their projects, fitting departures from and
return to the campus into regularly scheduled vacation periods or during the summer
months. Only the Vice President of Academic Affairs may approve exceptions to this rule.
2. In order to be eligible for full funding, the project should be one whose conception,
organization and planning are the result of student initiative and effort, and one in which
the student participates actively rather than passively. Proposals for participation in
pre-packaged programs or courses (conferences and/or workshops, outward-bound type
experiences, study-abroad courses, etc.) will not be funded unless the program or course
is shown to be an integral component of a larger project created and designed by the
student. Although funds are not normally awarded for course work for which academic
credit is received, whether at Hanover or at other institutions, in some cases Hanover
College Senior Thesis courses may be funded, as long as the project is one involving
student creativity and is student-initiated.
3. Applications for grants must take the form of a project proposal. Proposals are to
be submitted electronically to David Harden, Director of Service Engagement and
Experiential Learning ([email protected]) and will be evaluated by the Student
Academic Assistance Committee (SAAC), which is responsible for administering the
Richter Grant program.
C. Obligations under the Grant
1. Students are obligated to carry out the project activities described in their proposal, to file
the necessary reports, and to fulfill any other terms of the grant.
2. The reports required of students upon completion of their grant activities are of two
kinds: (a) a project report, describing the student’s experience in and assessing the success
of the project in which the student was engaged; and (b) a financial report, accounting
for the expenditure of all funds received under the grant and providing such supporting
documentation (copies of canceled checks, credit card vouchers, cash receipts and the like)
as may reasonably be expected.
3. Students are obligated to return to the College any funds not expended in carrying out
grant activities, as well as any equipment, surplus materials and the like purchased with
grant funds. Any funds for which a proper accounting is not rendered may have to be
paid by the student.
4. Students who fail to comply with these or other provisions of the grant shall be obligated
to repay to the College, in whole or in part, any funds received under the program and
until such funds are repaid in full, students shall be liable to any further action which the
College deems appropriate.

PRE-PROFESSIONAL PROGRAMS
THE LIBERAL ARTS AND THE PROFESSIONS
Hanover College provides every student with an opportunity to prepare for a career or for
further education in graduate or professional school. A challenging and rigorous liberal arts
education, combined with pre-professional programs, equips students with the practical
knowledge, perspectives, skills, and experience essential for particular careers.
A liberal arts education develops one’s potential as a human being and as a citizen and enables
one to succeed in all vocations. As the national and global economy changes, there is a greater
demand for liberal arts graduates, for people who are creative and flexible, able to solve
problems, to make sound judgments, and to communicate effectively. Hanover College affirms
the importance of a liberal arts education for its students’ success in careers and strives to assure
that every student has an opportunity to prepare for meaningful work.
Every student is encouraged to participate in one of the pre-professional programs –
programs that illustrate, in concrete and practical ways, the connections between the liberal
arts and professions. These programs combine courses, seminars, workshops, small-group
and individually supervised sessions, internships, intensive advising, relevant co-curricular
experiences, volunteer activities, and structured opportunities for practical job experience,
oftentimes with alumni who have been successful in their professions.

173
Accounting Pathway
Hanover College has established privileged access to the Master of Science in Accounting
(MSA) program at Indiana University’s Kelley School of Business and the Master of Science
in Accountancy (MACC) program at Xavier University’s Williams College of Business. The
Accounting Pathway is designed to guide Business Scholars through the prerequisites for
admission to either program. Business Scholars completing the Accounting Pathway are eligible
to enroll at IU or Xavier immediately upon graduation from Hanover, and sit for the CPA
exam in an accelerated manner. IU’s MSA and Xavier’s MACC are both intensive, full-time
graduate degree programs. Students thinking they may be interested in pursuing an accounting
pathway should consult early with their academic adviser and/or with the Director of the
Business Scholars Program.
Business Scholars Program
The Business Scholars Program is a distinctive course of study that prepares students for a career
in business. It is designed to provide an experiential learning environment that builds on a
liberal arts foundation. Business Scholars will develop communication skills, the ability to think
critically, and an understanding of multiple business perspectives in a context emphasizing
social responsibility. The curriculum integrates concepts and strategies employed in numerous
business situations through workshops, case studies, and a paid, project-based internship.
Classroom sessions are augmented by the participation of successful business professionals who
provide insight and guidance into the attainment of a rewarding career. Detailed information
about the Program can be found in the Business course listings.
Engineering Program
Engineering that is functional and satisfying necessarily draws upon the diverse perspectives
of the liberal arts. Researching, designing, building, maintaining, and improving the things
that individuals and societies rely upon--structures, machines, systems, and processes—require
multiple forms of knowledge: the mathematical, the scientific, the experiential, the historical,
the cultural, the socioeconomic, and the aesthetic. By recognizing this interdisciplinary
necessity, Hanover’s engineering program prepares students for fulfilling careers, whether
immediately after graduation or after additional graduate training in specialized fields of
engineering or applied science and mathematics. Students may pursue either a Bachelor of
Arts degree in Engineering Science or a Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering. The
Engineering Science degree develops in students their problem-solving skills by integrating
the principles of engineering, mathematics, and the applied sciences (biological, chemical,
geological, physiological). The Engineering degree acquaints and educates students in one of
several subfields, all of which share the common, classic definition of engineering: “to apply
knowledge of capability and characteristics of substances to design and build something that
accomplishes intended goals” (Black’s Law Dictionary). More detailed information about the
programs of study leading to each degree can be found in the Engineering course listings and
from the Director of the Engineering Program.
Health Sciences Program
This program informs, advises, supports, and assists Hanover College students who wish to
investigate or to pursue academic programs that will prepare them for advanced education and/
or careers in health-related fields. The Program also promotes the exchange of information,
expertise, perspectives, and experiences between students and those alumni and friends of the
College who work in health-related fields. Finally, the Program encourages and develops a
stronger sense of community among students of like interests.

174
Law
Hanover College provides individual advising that includes curricular recommendations for
students electing to pursue pre-law. Annual programming includes a graduate and professional
school fair and an LSAT practice exam. Recent events include tours of regional law schools,
alumni panels, and networking events. The Career Center also houses resources related to law
schools, LSAT prep, and careers in law.
Nursing
Hanover College, in collaboration with Valparaiso University and Northern Kentucky
University, offers students multiple pathways to a nursing degree. When completed, these
pathways will result in the student earning a Bachelor of Arts degree from Hanover College
and a Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree from either Valparaiso University or Northern
Kentucky University. Both institutions guarantee admission into their accelerated BSN
programs to a limited number of Hanover students who successfully complete required science
and prerequisite courses at Hanover as part of their Hanover degree. A student may choose
to compete a 4-year Hanover degree in any major before applying to one of the accelerated
programs, or a student may choose to pursue the Health and Movement Studies major at
Hanover and apply to the accelerated program at Valparaiso University or Northern Kentucky
University after only 3 years at Hanover. Each of the pathways requires careful academic
planning. For details, students should contact the Director of the Health Sciences Program
at Hanover.
Teacher Certification
Elementary (K-6) teacher certification requires the successful completion of an elementary
education major, an academic minor, and all certification requirements including a student
teaching assignment.
Secondary (5-12) teacher certification requires the successful completion of an approved
teaching major (visual arts, theatre, mathematics, biology, chemistry, physics, English, French,
Spanish, history, political science, health and movement studies, economics), secondary
education coursework, and all certification requirements including a student teaching
assignment. Secondary Education students may also choose to complete a secondary education
major, as well as their content area major.
Special Education (p-12) dual teacher certification requires an additional six courses and must
be competed in conjunction with Elementary or Secondary certification.
Application for a teacher certification program should be made after completion of EDU 221
and before the end of the sophomore year. Students may not take upper level courses without
admission to a program. All teacher certification requirements are described under Education in
this catalog.
ACADEMIC SERVICES
The Agnes Brown Duggan Library
The Duggan Library, dedicated in 1973, is an integral part of the educational process at

Student
LIFE 177
H anover College seeks to build a community culture consistent with the objectives of the
liberal arts, where students, professors and staff are able to integrate their academic and
personal lives and make meaningful connections between their academic inquiry and their
development as human beings. To achieve this goal, students are provided many opportunities
for learning and reflection outside the classroom.
Hanover College seeks to build a diverse community composed of citizens of the world,
individuals of different perspectives, different interests, and different cultural backgrounds. It is
a community that cultivates humanity and presupposes the dignity, self-worth, and autonomy
of all human beings. It seeks to be a community of active and responsible citizens – citizens
who have different roles as faculty, students, administrators, staff, trustees, and alumni,
but citizens who have rights and freedoms, who participate in democratic decision-making
processes, and who accept responsibility for their decisions. Equally important, Hanover strives
to create an environment in which students are able to construct their own civil society, a
community of varied, overlapping, self-governing student groups mixed with a wide variety
of informal student associations and activities. With these objectives to guide the campus
community, Hanover prepares students for citizenship and service beyond college, providing
them with learning experiences and with opportunities both inside and outside the classroom
to serve and lead in various local and international contexts.

CAMPUS HOUSING
The College seeks to provide an environment in all its campus residences that enhances the
learning process. The residence-hall program is committed to the philosophy and objectives of
the total College community, and is dedicated to providing many opportunities for learning,
while at the same time meeting students’ physical, social and psychological needs. A primary
objective is to encourage the students’ convictions that education is a broadly based concept,
that it is personal in nature, that it is a process involving their entire lives, and that students
must exercise considerable initiative in the process of learning.
The requirements for on-campus residence are thus a part of Hanover’s efforts to ensure
an optimal learning environment and all students are required to live in College housing
throughout their undergraduate years, except those who meet one of the following criteria: (1)
living at home in the primary residence of a parent or guardian within 30 miles of campus; (2)
married; (3) the parent of dependent minor children living with the student; (4) a part-time
student; (5) a fifth year senior; or (6) over 23 years of age.
The residence hall program is administered by both professionally trained persons and a
carefully selected and trained group of students called resident assistants. One resident assistant
(RA) is located on each corridor of about 30 students, and staff members are on duty nights
and weekends throughout the term when the office is closed. The staff takes seriously its role of
maintaining a positive, healthy living environment, one which supports the academic endeavor.
This is accomplished through close contact with residents, planning and presenting varied
programs within the living units, and setting and interpreting behavioral expectations.
Students living in residence halls are required to purchase a meal plan, which provides
breakfast, lunch and dinner in the Campus Center Dining Room, with additional options in
the Underground, Coffee Shop, or Shoebox. Over 90% of our student body live on campus.
Our “larger” buildings house 45 to 150 students, while “smaller” units accommodate 11 to 20
students, often centering on a special theme or desired living option.

SORORITIES AND FRATERNITIES
Hanover College has chapters of four fraternities and four sororities, all with national affiliation.
Each “Greek” chapter accommodates the majority of its members in a “house” of approximately
40 men or women, and many employ their own house director and cook. The majority of
houses have individual study or day rooms, with sleeping quarters for all members on the top
floor; while in other houses, members sleep and study in the same personal room. There also
are recreational areas and lounges.
The following chapters of national fraternities and sororities are housed at Hanover College:

STUDENT INVOLVEMENT

Student Activities
There are over 70 officially recognized student organizations on the Hanover College campus.
These organizations serve as instruments of student expression and are integral components to
the out-of-class experience. Student organizations provide a clear bridge between learning in
and out of the classroom. Our organizations encompass a variety of interests: academic/pre-
professional, governance, honor societies, publications, recreation, religious life, service, foreign
language, special interests, and visual and performing arts.

Student Governance
Student Senate is the campus organization of student government. Student Senate has a great
responsibility to listen, represent, and address the needs of its constituents while acting as the
central liaison between the student body and Hanover’s faculty, administration, and staff.
With dedicated members representing all facets of our student culture, Senate committees
partner with faculty members, administrators, and Student Life staff to solve problems,
integrate academic and living environments, create a student civil society, and build a principle-
based community. Student Senate promotes mutual cooperation among various campus
constituencies in pursuit of its goals.
The Interfraternal Council (IFC) and the Panhellenic Council (Panhel) are the governing
bodies of the Greek social organizations at Hanover College. Composed of representatives from
each fraternity and sorority. The councils promote a cooperative spirit and encourage support
among the organizations. They collectively serve the campus and wider community through
social, educational and philanthropic activities.
Details about all student organizations, co-curricular activities, cultural and religious activities
and college services are described in the Student Handbook and at the following internet link:

Admission
INFORMATION

181
ADMISSION OVERVIEW
As a selective liberal arts college, Hanover provides a holistic admissions review and is interested
in enrolling those students who successfully complete a college preparatory curriculum in high
school. Curriculum and grade point average are carefully considered in determining a student’s
likelihood of success at Hanover College.

Other factors such as the high school, standardized test scores, letters of recommendation and
extracurricular participation in school and community are also considered in the admission
process. In addition to academic achievement and extracurricular participation, the college
values cultural, ethnic and geographic diversity in its student body. Hanover College does not
discriminate on the basis of socioeconomic status, race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation or
gender identity.

The key to a successful college search is to research options with care and to begin early. At selective
colleges such as Hanover, meeting deadlines with appropriate materials for admission and financial
aid is critically important. The Office of Admission at Hanover is dedicated to a counseling
approach to the college decision. Contact the Office toll-free at 1-800-213-2178 with questions
and/or requests for information or application forms. Information can also be gathered on the
Hanover College home page at www.hanover.edu or by e-mail at [email protected].

RECOMMENDED PREPARATION
Admission to Hanover College is competitive. While Hanover considers the merits of each
student’s application, it is recommended that students achieve at least a B average in a rigorous
college prep curriculum, rank in the top third of their class, and achieve competitive scores on
the SAT or ACT.
Candidates are encouraged to take Advanced Placement or accelerated courses if available.
Students who complete all graduation requirements early or are home schooled will be
considered for admission on a case-by-case basis. Students are encouraged to take the SAT
or ACT in the spring of the junior year. Hanover is a test-optional institution and it is the
applicant’s choice to submit standardized test scores. If scores are submitted, Hanover reviews
the highest scores for either test, so it is often advisable to take tests multiple times to achieve
the best possible results.
The secondary school record is by far the most critical element in the admission decision,
especially the performance in the junior and senior years.

APPLICATION PROCESS
Students may apply for admission to Hanover using the College’s online application or by using
the Common Application. Priority dates for early admission and regular admission are
included with admission materials or are available by contacting the Office of Admission or by
accessing our Web site at www.hanover.edu.
The following applications, credentials, and materials are required for admission for new
students who apply:
First-Year Student (applying as a senior in high school): Freshman application completed by
student and official high school transcript. Recommended materials include resume or list
of extra curricular activities, writing sample, and a letter of recommendation. Submission of
standardized test scores (SAT or ACT) is optional.

182
Transfer (applying as a student at another college or university): Transfer application completed
by student, official high school and college transcript, and the transfer student information
form. recommended materials include resume or list of extra curricular activities, writing
sample, and a letter of recommendation. Submission of standardized test scores (SAT or ACT)
is optional.
International (non-resident applying as a freshman or transfer student): International student
application completed by student, official high school and/or college transcripts, official
TOEFL, IELTS or SAT scores, copy of passport, and financial guarantee (declaration of
financial support). Recommended materials include resume or list of extra curricular activities,
writing sample, and a letter of recommendation.
FINANCIAL AID
Hanover College offers a diverse array of merit and need-based financial assistance. Students
considering need-based assistance must apply through the Free Application for Federal Student
Aid (FAFSA). The FAFSA is available through the Internet at www.fafsa.gov.
The results from the FAFSA are used to determine eligibility for federal, state and institutional
assistance. Priority consideration is given to aid applicants who file the FAFSA by March 1.
Upon receipt of processed FAFSA data, the Office of Financial Aid will evaluate and package
awards. The student will be notified of eligibility by mail.
Merit-based assistance is also available to incoming freshmen who demonstrate a high level of
academic achievement. The application for admission serves as the application for all merit-
based scholarships.
For additional information, contact the Office of Financial Aid at 1-800-213-2178.
Information can also be gathered on the Hanover College home page at www.hanover.edu or
by e-mail at [email protected].

Standards of Academic Progress

As per federal regulations, Hanover College requires standards of academic progress be
achieved in order to maintain financial-aid eligibility. There are three academic requirements
for receiving financial aid. Failure to maintain all standards listed may result in loss of aid. The
policy on Satisfactory Academic Progress and the process for appealing financial aid probation
or disqualification can be found at www.hanover.edu/docs/financial_aid_sap.pdf.

1. Grade Point Average

Students are required to maintain good academic standing as determined by the Registrar’s
Office. These standards are outlined in the catalog (pg.28). Students failing to meet these
standards should review the policies on academic probation, academic dismissal and
appeal of dismissal. Transfer students should review the policy on transfer credits.
2. Incremental Progress Requirement
Students must complete 67 percent of the course units attempted in an academic year.
Students failing to meet this requirement due to extenuating circumstances should contact
the Office of Financial Aid.
3. Time Frame Requirement
Students are required to have completed the graduation requirements outlined in the
catalog within the first 55 course units attempted.
183
Merit Scholarships
Any student receiving a merit-based scholarship(s) is required to maintain a minimum
cumulative grade point average based on the scholarship(s) received. Students should refer to
the scholarship certificate received at their time of admission to determine minimum GPA
requirements. Cumulative GPAs are reviewed for renewal or reinstatement upon completion
of each academic year.

Enrollment Status for Financial Assistance Purposes

Eligibility for Indiana state grants and Federal Title IV aid is calculated on a semester basis.
For financial aid purposes, full-time enrollment for Fall Term, or for Winter/Spring Term, is 3
course units. Half-time is 1.5 units (at least half-time is required for Federal loan programs).

Refund Policies
Students at Hanover College receive funds from four major sources – the Federal
government, the Indiana state government, Hanover College, and other outside sources.
When a change occurs in a student’s enrollment status, the Office of Financial Aid is
required to calculate the amount of aid that must be refunded to each of these sources. A
brief summary of each policy is listed below.
1. Federal Title IV Aid
Federal Title IV aid (Pell Grants and Direct Loans) is prorated based on the percentage
of the semester a student has attended up to 60 percent. No Federal Title IV refunds are
calculated beyond the 60 percent point of the semester.
2. State Aid
Refunds of Indiana state aid (Frank O’Bannon Grant Award, 21st Century Scholarship)
according to state regulations. Students must be enrolled full-time at the end of the fourth
week of each semester to qualify for state aid.


3. Institutional Aid
Refunds of institutional aid are calculated in accordance with the five-week institutional
refund policy on tuition and fees listed in the catalog (p. 181).
4. Outside Aid
Refunds of outside aid are calculated in accordance with the guidelines provided by the
awarding agency.

VISITING
Hanover’s Admission and Financial Aid Office recognizes the importance of the campus visit
in the college selection process. Consequently, the staff is very accommodating to the needs of
prospective students and their parents.
The office is open all year, and visitors are welcome during regular office hours (8 a.m. until 5
p.m. during the academic year and 8 a.m. until 4 p.m. during the summer).
To maximize your time on campus, it is very strongly recommended that you reserve your visit
at least one week in advance; two weeks of lead time is suggested if you are staying overnight on
campus (preferably Monday through Thursday during the school year).
The typical campus visit during the academic year includes a tour of campus, an interview with
an admission counselor and an opportunity to visit classes. Special arrangements can usually be
made to visit with a particular professor, coach, or the financial aid staff.

courses are offered at a discounted price as no financial aid is available for them. The specific
class schedule and the related costs will be announced during the 2021 winter term. These
courses are similar in format to the four-week spring term session described in paragraph 5
and are available to the student on-line. Specific classes may be cancelled if there is limited
interest in them.
185
8. Full-time students taking a course for audit which results in an overload will be charged at a
rate of 1/2 the applicable overload charge. Part-time students taking a course for audit will be

permission has been secured from the professor.

9. Senior citizens (age 55 and older) taking a course for credit will be charged tuition at the
rate of 1/2 the unit cost. An Application for Admission must be filed with the Office of
Admission. Senior citizens taking a course for audit only, with no credit earned, will be
charged tuition at the rate of 1/4 the unit cost. A Course Audit Application must be filed
with the Registrar’s Office. In both cases, there must be space in the desired class and
permission from the professor.

COURSE FEES
Students enrolled in art, health and fitness, and lab courses may be charged a course fee. Please
see the course description to determine if a fee is applicable.

MUSIC FEES
Additional fees are charged for private voice and instrument lessons. A 1/4 unit of music
instruction is $100.00. A 1/2 unit of music instruction is $150.00. An individual fee will be
assessed for each course (i.e., a student who takes two 1/4 unit lessons will pay two separate
$100.00 fees, while the student who takes a 1/2 unit lesson will pay $150.00). Students who
choose the non-credit option for lessons will still be charged a 1/4 unit fee.

A full-time student whose music lesson leads to an overload for the term will be assessed overload
charges in addition to lesson fees. A part-time student who registers for a lesson, either for credit
or audit, will be charged for the unit in addition to the lesson fee. When a student has formally
declared music as his or her major, lesson fees will be discontinued for all subsequent terms.

STUDENT TEACHING FEE

Students in the Education Program are charged a student teaching fee the semester they student
teach. By registering for EDU 455/456/458/459, a student will be billed full-time semester
charges and a student teaching fee of $300.00.

COMMUNICATION
The Hanover College Business Office uses e-mail as an official method of communication and
the student is responsible for reading the e-mails from the Business Office on a timely basis.
Students may also be contacted via cellular phone or other wireless devices regarding their
student account or about general information from the College. The student may withdraw
their consent to be contacted via cellular phone by submitting a request in writing to the
Hanover College Business Office.

PAYMENT OF FEES
Hanover College uses electronic billing (e-bill) as its official billing method, and therefore the
student is responsible for viewing and paying his or her student account e-bill by the scheduled
due date. Failure to review the e-bill does not constitute a valid reason for not paying the bill on
time. E-bill information is available at:
https://commerce.cashnet.com/cashneti/selfserve/BrowseCatalog.aspx.
Parents can view at https://commerce.cashnet.com/hanoverpay.

186
All expenses for the enrollment period must be paid in full by the due date indicated on the
semester billing in order to attend classes. Billing for the Fall term will be sent to the student by
mid to late-July with the balance due by late August. Billing for the Winter/Spring term will be
sent to the student in mid-November with the balance due by late December.

If payment is not received by the due date, a hold is placed on the student’s account in the
Business Office and the account may be subject to late fees of 1% of the unsettled balance
monthly. Students may be denied permission to continue at the College if payment is not
received. Students’ financial obligations must be satisfied before grades can be given, diplomas
awarded, and transcripts issued.

The College offers a monthly installment plan for students. Please go to https://commerce.

College may offer face-to-face, fully online and hybrid courses during the 2020-2021 academic
year, and the College may change delivery methods during a term based on public health
conditions. The College will issue no refunds (or discounts) for courses offered fully online or
in a hybrid format.

Suites and Apartments are set forth in the College’s housing contract . No-show students will
receive a 100% refund of room and board. Students who live in a Greek house must contact
their sorority or fraternity house corporation for a refund, and refund policies may vary based
on chapter policies and the student’s housing agreement with the Greek house corporation.

RETURNING STUDENT DEPOSITS

All students returning for the fall enrollment period are required to pay a $300.00 deposit
