The SCS Advisory Council is composed of six faculty members and the School of Continuing Studies dean and meets periodically throughout the year. The council advises the dean on matters relating to course and program development and interprets the general education requirements of the university. It is authorized to grant exceptions and waivers of general education requirements. Students who seek a waiver should discuss the matter with the associate dean, complete a petition form and submit it to the SCS office.
Faith powerfully affects the way one lives and what one becomes.
Educating the spirit is as important as educating the mind. A professional staff of eight men and women, ordained and lay, plus a part-time team of professional hall chaplains are available to meet with students to discuss interests, help with prayer, or be a companion as they work to discover life directions and purpose. An ID card is required to check out books from the library, use athletic facilities and the Learning Center, and cash checks at the Business Office. The SCS newsletter, Update, is published periodically during the year. It is sent to students' local addresses and is available in the SCS office.
