It is a small col­ lege by deliberate policy. Its present enrollment is about 1,400 men and women students. T he Borough of Swarthmore is a residential suburb within half an hour’s commuting distance of Philadelphia. College students are able to enjoy both the advantages of nearby rural set­ tings and the opportunities offered by Philadel­ phia. T h e College’s location also makes possi­ ble cooperation with three nearby institutions, Bryn Mawr and Haverford colleges and the University of Pennsylvania. OBJECTIVES AND PURPOSES Swarthmore students are expected to prepare themselves for full, balanced lives as individu­ als and as responsible citizens through exacting intellectual study supplemented by a varied program o f sports and other extracurricular ac­ tivities. T h e purpose o f Swarthmore College is to make its students more valuable human be­ ings and more useful members o f society. Although it shares this purpose with other ed­ ucational institutions, each school, college, and university seeks to realize that purpose in its own way. Swarthmore seeks to help its stu­ dents realize their fullest intellectual and per­ sonal potential combined with a deep sense of ethical and social concern. VARIETIES OF EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE Education is largely an individual matter, for no two students are exactly alike. T h e Swarth­ more College curriculum is designed to give recognition to this fact and seeks to evoke the maximum effort and development from each student. T h é Swarthmore College Honors Program offers additional enriching and excit­ ing intellectual experiences to students who choose to prepare for evaluation by examiners from other colleges and universities. Through­ out the curriculum, options for independent study and interdisciplinary work offer opportu­ 10 nities for exploration and development over a wide range of individual goals. These opportu­ nities typically include considerable flexibility of program choices from semester to semester, so that academic planning may be responsive to the emerging needs o f students. THE RELIGIOUS TRADITION Swarthmore College was founded by members of the Religious Society of Friends (the Quak­ ers). Although it has been nonsectarian in control since 1908, and although Friends now compose a small minority o f the student body, the faculty, and the administration, the Col­ lege still values highly many of the principles of that society. Foremost among these princi­ ples is the individual’s responsibility for seeking and applying truth and for testing whatever truth one believes one has found. As a way of life, Quakerism emphasizes hard work, simple living, and generous giving as well as personal integrity, social justice, and the peaceful settle­ m ent of disputes. T h e College does not seek to impose on its students this Quaker view of life or any other specific set of convictions about the nature o f things and the duties o f human beings. It does, however, encourage ethical and religious concern about such matters and con­ tinuing examination of any view that may be held regarding them. TRADITION AND CHANGE A college draws strength from tradition and energy from the necessity of change. Its pur­ poses and policies must respond to new condi­ tions and new demands. By being open to change, Swarthmore tries to provide for its stu­ dents, by means appropriate to the times, the standard of excellence it has sought to main­ tain from its founding. Educational Resources The primary educational resources o f any col­ lege are the quality o f its faculty and the spirit of the institution. Financial as well as physical resources play an important supportive role. THE ENDOWMENT The educational resources at Swarthmore C ol­ lege have been provided by gifts and bequests from many alumni, foundations, corporations, parents, and friends. In addition to unrestrict­ ed gifts for the operating budget, these donors have contributed funds for buildings, equip­ ment, collections o f art and literature, and per­ manently endowed professorships, scholar­ ships, awards, book funds, and lectureships. Their gifts to Swarthmore have not only pro­ vided the physical plant but also have created an endowment fund of $894 million at market value on June 30, 2002. Swarthmore ranks 10th in the country in endowment per student. Income from the endowment during the aca­ demic year 2001—2002 contributed approxi­ mately $29,000 to meet the total expense of educating each student and provided about 40 percent of the College’s operating revenues. The College’s ability to continue to offer a high quality of education depends on continu­ ing voluntary support. Swarthmore seeks addi­ tional gifts and bequests for its current opera­ tions, its permanent endowment, and its capi­ tal development programs to maintain and strengthen its resources. T h e vice president in charge of development will be pleased to pro­ vide information about various forms of gifts: bequests, outright gifts o f cash or securities, real estate or other property, and deferred gifts through charitable remainder trusts and life-income contracts in which the donor reserves the right to the annual income during his or her lifetime. LIBRARIES The library is an active participant in the in­ structional and research program o f the C ol­ lege. The primary function o f the library is to support the teaching mission o f the College by acquiring and organizing collections in a vari­ ety of print, digital, and other formats and by instructing students in the effective use o f the library and its collections. Although the li­ brary’s collections are geared primarily toward undergraduate instruction, the scope, nature, and depth o f student and faculty research re­ quire a greater quantity o f source materials than is typically found in undergraduate li­ braries. Additional needs are met through in­ terlibrary loan, document delivery, and other cooperative arrangements. Swarthmore, Haverford, and Bryn Mawr col­ leges link their library collections through Tri­ pod (their shared, on-line catalog). Tripod, as well as other network information sources, can be accessed on-line through the library’s home page at http://www.swarthmore.edu/library. T h e Tri-College Library Consortium takes ad­ vantage o f a long history of cooperation and a unified, on-line catalog to work toward build­ ing a research-quality collection from the com­ bined holdings o f these three strong, liberal arts colleges. R eference service is often where research begins. Reference librarians guide patrons in formulating research strategies and in accessing the information and materials contained in the library’s vast electronic and print collections. T h e library provides a considerable digital col­ lection o f electronic journals in all disciplines and o f citation and full-text research databases that support access to historical, statistical, vis­ ual, and bibliographic information. T h e ever­ growing am ount o f on -lin e resources has created a variety of new library services, in­ cluding Live Help, an on-line “chat” reference service. T he library also provides direct cur­ ricular support through an extensive print and electronic reserve reading and honors collection. Swarthmore College library holdings amount to approximately 800,000 volumes with some 20,000 volumes added each year. T h e College participates in the Federal and Pennsylvania Depository Library Program and selects those government documents most appropriate to the needs o f the curriculum and the public and catalogs them in Tripod. T h e library also houses an extensive interdisciplinary audio­ visual collection, including 4,000 videotapes and DVDs, more than 13,000 classical and jazz music recordings, and 1,400 spoken word recordings o f dramatic and poetic literature. T h e video collection includes U .S . and foreign 11 Educational Resources classic films as well as educational, documen­ tary and experimental films. T h e collections are housed in three libraries. T he T hom as B . and Jean n ette L . M cC abe Library is the center o f the college library system and is home to the major portion of the collections, extensive public computing resources, a wide variety o f reading and study areas, and a video classroom. A recent renovation has added a small coffee bar, which is located near daily papers and other light reading materials. T he C orn ell Library o f Science and Engineering in the new science center houses 60,000 volumes and serves the curricular and research needs of students and faculty in the sciences. T he D aniel U nderhill M usic Library contains 20,000 books on music and dance as well as the sound recordings mentioned earlier. It provides a wide variety o f listening and viewing facili­ ties, which overlook the Crum Woods. Small collections o f relevant materials are located in the B lack Cultural C en ter and the B eit Midrash. Special Library Collections T h e College library contains certain special collections: the Private Press C ollection , repre­ senting the work o f more than 725 presses, an exemplary collection o f “book arts”; British A m ericana, accounts o f British travelers in the U nited States; the works o f English poets Wordsworth and Thomson bequeathed to the library by Edwin H. Wells; the works o f Seamus Heaney, winner of the Nobel Prize for Litera­ ture, 1995; the W .H . A uden C ollection com­ memorating the English poet who taught at Swarthmore in the mid-1940s; and the Bathe C ollection of the history of technology donated by Greville Bathe. W ithin the M cCabe Library building are two special libraries that enrich the academic back­ ground o f the College: T he Friends H istorical Library, founded in 1871 by Anson Lapham, is one of the outstanding collections in the U nited States of manu­ scripts, books, pamphlets, and pictures relating to the history o f the Society of Friends. T h e li­ brary is a depository for records of Friends Meetings belonging to Baltimore, New York, Philadelphia, and other Yearly Meetings. More than 10,000 record books, dating from the 1670s until the present, have been deposited. Additional records are available on microfilm. T he W illiam W ade H inshaw Index to Quaker Meeting Records lists material o f genealogical interest. Special collections include materials on various subjects of Quaker concern such as abolition, Indian rights, utopian reform, and the history of women’s rights. Notable among the other holdings are the W hittier Collection (first editions and manuscripts of John Greenleaf W hittier, the Quaker poet), the Mott manuscripts (more than 500 autograph letters o f Lucretia M ott, antislavery and women’s rights leader), and the Hicks manuscripts (more than 400 letters o f Elias Hicks, a promi­ nent Quaker minister). More than 43,000 volumes are in the library’s collection of books and pamphlets by and about Friends. More than 200 Quaker periodicals are currently received. T h e library also has an extensive collection of photographs of meetinghouses and pictures o f representative Friends and Quaker activities as well as a number of oil paintings, including “T h e Peaceable Kingdom” by Edward Hicks. It is hoped that Friends and others will consider the advantages of giving to this library any books and family papers that may throw light on the history o f the Society o f Friends. W eb site: http://www.swarthmore.edu/library/ffiends. T he Sw arthm ore C ollege P eace C ollection is of special interest to research students seeking the records of the peace movement. T he records of the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom and the personal papers of Jane Addams of Hull-House, Chicago, formed the original nucleus of the Collection (1930). Over the years, other major collections have been added including the papers o f Devere A llen, Emily Greene Balch, Julien Cornell, Homer Jack, Lucy Biddle Lewis, A .J. Muste, Lawrence Scott, Joh n N evin Sayre, William Sollm ann, E. Raymond Wilson, and others as well as the records of the American Peace So­ ciety, A Quaker A ction Group, Business Exec­ utives Move, C C C O , Fellowship of Reconcili­ ation, Friends Committee on National Legisla­ tion, T h e Great Peace March, Lake Mohonk Conferences on International Arbitration, National Interreligious Service Board for Con­ scientious Objectors, National Council for Prevention of War, National Council to Re­ peal the Draff, SA N E, War Resisters League, W om en Strike for Peace, World Conference of Religion for Peace, and many others. The | Peace Collection serves as the official reposi­ tory for the archives of many of these organiza­ tions, incorporated here in more than 10,000 document boxes. T h e Collection also houses more than 12,000 books and pamphlets and about 3,000 periodical titles. Four hundred periodicals are currently received from 22 countries. T he comprehensive Guide to the Swarthmore C ollege P eace C ollection , published in 1981, and the G uide to Sources on Women in the Sw arthm ore C ollege P eace C ollection describe the archival holdings.

PHYSICAL FACILITIES When Swarthmore College opened in the fall of 1869, it consisted o f one building— Parrish Hall—set on farmland and serving 199 stu­ dents. Today, it encompasses more than 40 buildings used by 1,400 students on 3 3 0 acres. The College provides an impressive range of modem facilities for students’ intellectual growth, cultural enrichment, and physical and social development. A t the same time, it main­ tains an intimate campus exemplifying the concept of academic study in an idyllic setting. Intellectual Growth Parrish H all, the original College building, still lies at the heart o f the campus with classroom buildings clustered around it. T h e second old­ est building on campus, T rotter H all, was com­ pletely renovated and reopened in 1997. Today, in a building that respects the past but embraces m odem technology and design, Trotter provides the space for the History, Political Science, and Classics departments; the Center for Social and Policy Studies; pro­ grams in women’s studies, black studies, and Asian studies; the W riting Center; and several classrooms and seminar rooms. A t the center of the building is the T arble Atrium , an inspiring wooden staircase crafted from cherry and birch with expansive landings on each level that function as student lounges and are supplied with seating and computer hookups. Views from this building overlook the Rose Garden to the south and the Nason Garden and O ut­ door Classroom to the north. Kohlberg H all, an entirely new academic build­ ing completed in 1996, features spaces for use by the entire College community on the ground floor, including a lounge complete with a coffee bar and fireplace; the Scheuer Room, a popular place for lectures and gatherings with a window wall and modem audiovisual equip­ ment; and the Cosby Courtyard, a dramatic outdoor space with a lawn panel and stone sit­ ting walls that double as an outdoor classroom. O n the upper two floors are modem classrooms and intimate seminar rooms, a language re­ source center, and faculty offices. Kohlberg Hall— home to the Modem Languages and Literatures, Econom ics, and Sociology/Anthropology Departments— demonstrates that a new building with award-winning architectur­ al design can be integrated into an established campus. N ext door to Kohlberg lies the Lang Perform ing A rts Center, home to the English, Dance, and Theater departments. Although most o f the spaces in this building provide for cultural en­ richment (more about that later), classrooms and offices are found on the second and third floors. H icks, B eardsley, and Pearson halls are clustered together on the north end of the academic campus, forming with Trotter Hall a quadran­ gle now known as the Nason Garden. Hicks is home to the Engineering Department and con­ tains laboratories, with several equipped for computer-assisted and -controlled experimen­ tation. Beardsley, renovated in 1990, houses the A rt Department; Pearson, renovated in 1998, is home to the Linguistics, Education, and Religion departments. Completing the cluster o f north campus academic buildings is Papazian H all, which houses the Psychology and Philosophy departments. T h e scien ce cen ter will physically link the de­ partments o f Biology, Chemistry, Computer Scien ce, M athem atics and Statistics, and Physics and Astronomy and the C ornell Science Library to foster interaction and ex­ change among scientists and to meet the ex­ panded space needs o f the sciences at Swarth­ more College. T h e project involves additions and alterations to the D uPont Science Building, M artin H all, and C orn ell Library, and new con­ struction linking them with an 80-seat lecture hall, a 120-seat auditorium, and a commons area. T h e project was designed and is being constructed using criteria developed by the U .S. G reen Building Council to produce a sus- 13 Educational Resources tainable design that will provide opportunities for education about the environment and en­ vironmental responsibility. T h e science center will open in several phases. Major milestones are science commons, February 2003; Chem ­ istry Department, July 2003; Biology Depart­ ment, November 2003; Physics and Astron­ omy, May 2004; and Mathematics and Statis­ tics and Computer Science, June 2004. For further information about the science center and to view recent construction photographs, please visit the project W eb site at http://sciencecenter.swarthmore.edu. In 1999, the Martin G reenhouse was renovated, so it can support a broader research program. Sproul O bservatory, with its 24-inch visual re­ fracting telescope, is the center o f fundamental research in multiple star systems, and a 24-inch reflecting telescope on Papazian Hall is used for solar and stellar spectroscopy. In the management, design, and construction o f all physical facilities, the College recognizes the importance o f employing environmentally sound practices and acknowledges its commit­ ment to current and future societies. A n exam­ ple of Swarthmore’s commitment to sustain­ ability is the biostream bed, located between M cCabe Library and Willets Hall and designed to filter runoff from upper-campus building roofs. Inform ation Technology Services (IT S ), with offices located in B eardsley H all, provides com­ puting and telecommunication resources and support to all faculty, registered students, and College staff. Academic computing resources comprise several components: a number of U N IX servers managed by the Computing Center, a network o f SU N Sparc workstations in the Computer Science Department, a net­ work o f HP workstations in the Engineering Department, a Power M acintosh lab in the Mathematics Department, and software servers in the Chemistry and the Physics and Astron­ omy departments. A specialized multimedia facility in Beardsley gives faculty a place to try out new technology and create presentations and multimedia projects for their courses. Servers running Oracle and S C T Banner are used for the College’s administrative data man­ agement needs. Fiber optic cabling ties these components together into a campuswide net­ work. T h e campus network is linked to the Internet, allowing communication and data 14 access on a global scale. Power M acintosh computers are available in public areas in Beardsley, DuPont, Kohlberg, and M cCabe and Cornell libraries. Virtually every administrative and faculty office is equipped with computers. Students may con­ nect M acintosh or Windows computers to the campus network from their rooms. Any Macin­ tosh connected to the network can be used to gain access to electronic mail, bulletin boards, the World Wide Web, Tripod (the library sys­ tem shared with Bryn Mawr and Haverford colleges), and a variety of software programs. Windows computers connected to the campus network from residence hall rooms have access to the World Wide W eb, electronic mail, and Tripod. Copies o f several commonly used commercial software packages are available on a restricted basis on the public-area hard drives or on file servers connected to the network. Some of these file servers also contain an assortment of shareware and public domain software. A computer repair service is located in Beards­ ley. T h e College Bookstore sells a variety of software at very reasonable prices. T he repair service provides on-campus repair services for student-owned computers. T h e Telecommunications Department of the Computing C enter provides telephone and voice-mail services to faculty, staff, and stu­ dents. Every student residing in a college dor­ mitory room is provided with a private tele­ phone and personal telephone number as well as a voice-mail account. Long-distance calling is available to students. Assistance with the use o f the College’s com­ puting resources is available on several levels. Students may seek help from student consul­ tants who are available most of the day and night, seven days a week. Faculty may seek as­ sistance through a Help Desk or through ITS staff assigned to their respective division for curricular support. Housed in Trotter Hall, the C en ter fo r Social and Policy Studies is an interdisciplinary appliéd research and policy initiative at the College. Established in 1972, the center undertakes and supports research addressing the complex, dy­ namic, and compelling needs o f inner-city communities— particularly, the interplay be­ tween poverty and community development in the neighboring community of Chester. In addition, the center supports PS 106: T he American Polity and Urban Policy. For students, the center attempts to tie aca­ demic learning to “real-world problem solv­ ing”; provides a rich “hands-on” experience in the broad field of social and public policy; and through their research, education, outreach, and advocacy activities, students have an op­ portunity to put into practice the convictions of “ethical intelligence” as they work with res­ idents in the Chester community. T h e center’s faculty director is Political Science Professor Keith Reeves ’88. Cultural Enrichment The Lang M usic Building, opened in 1973, con­ tains an auditorium seating nearly 400 while providing an expansive view into the Crum Woods. It also is home to the D aniel-U nderhill Music Library, classrooms, practice and re­ hearsal rooms, and an exhibition area. It is the central facility for the Music Department and for musical activities at the College. Greatly enhancing performance venues, the Eugene M. and T heresa Lang Perform ing Arts Center (LPAC) opened in 1991. T h e building contains Pearson-H all T heater, with a seating capacity of 825. T h e theater can be divided with a 40-ton movable soundproof wall, which is raised and lowered hydraulically. W hen raised, the space may be used simultaneously as a cinema theater seating more than 300 and a theater space of about equal seating capacity. The stage of the theater may also be trans­ formed from its traditional configuration into a thrust stage. The Frear Ensem ble T heater on the lower level of the LPAC is another more intimate theater, a “black box” that serves as an experimental and instructional studio as well as the P atricia Witky Boyer D ance Studio and D ance L ab. This building also provides an elegant facility for changing art exhibits, student art exhibitions, and a display o f holdings o f Swarthmore C ol­ lege’s permanent art collection in its List A rt Gallery. Physical Development The College maintains about 80 acres o f play­ ing fields around the academic heart o f the campus to support a wide range o f sports, in­ cluding rugby, field hockey, lacrosse, and base­ ball. Track sports are supported by both an out­ door track around the C lothier Field and indoor track in the Lam b-M iller Field H ouse, which also provides indoor basketball courts and ex­ ercise rooms. N ext to the field house lies the Squash C ourt building and W are P ool, with a 50-m eter pool. Twelve outdoor tennis courts are supplemented with the newly opened M ullan Tennis C en ter, an indoor tennis and fit­ ness pavilion. Ample open lawn areas, an inte­ gral part of the Swarthmore College campus, accommodates and inspires a range of informal and spontaneous physical activity from Frisbee throwing to water sliding. Social Development Several residence halls are close to the core of the campus. Rooms are assigned by a lottery system. A ll students have private telephone and computer hookup capabilities in their rooms. A ll halls have common lounges for so­ cializing, and Swarthmore’s Sharpies D ining H all provides an impressive single dining space, ensuring students have the opportunity to in­ teract regularly at mealtimes. Sm all dining rooms within the dining hall are frequently used for special-interest groups such as lan­ guage discussion groups. O ther student activity and organization space on campus includes Parrish Parlors in the heart o f campus; Parrish Commons a level up; Tarble in C lothier, with a snack bar, game room, the college bookstore, a large all-campus space used for dances and other events and P aces, a student coffeehouse; the Intercultural C enter, with both private organization space and a large meeting room for collective events; the B lack C ultural C en ter; B ond H all, home to the religious advisers and religious organizations; Sharpies III, a student-run art association; and O lde C lu b, the patty place. Scott Arboretum About 325 acres are contained in the College property, including a large tract of woodland and the valley o f Crum Creek. M uch of this tract has been developed as a horticultural and botanical co llection o f trees, shrubs, and herbaceous plants through the provisions of the Scott Arboretum, established in 1929 by Mrs. A rthur Hoyt S c o tt and Owen and Margaret M oon as a memorial to Arthur Hoyt S co tt o f the Class o f 1895. T h e plant collec­ tions are designed both to afford examples of the better kinds o f trees and shrubs that are 15 Educational Resources hardy in the climate of eastern Pennsylvania and suitable for planting by the average gar­ dener and to beautify the campus. A ll collec­ tions are labeled and recorded. There are ex­ ceptionally fine displays o f hollies, Japanese cherries, flowering crabapples, magnolias, tree peonies, lilacs, rhododendrons, azaleas, and daffodils. C hoice specimens from the collec­ tions are displayed in several specialty gardens including the Terry Shane Teaching Garden, the Theresa Lang Garden o f Fragrance, the Dean Bond Rose Garden, the Isabelle Bennett Cosby ’28 Courtyard, the Nason Garden and outdoor classroom, and the Metasequoia Allée. Many interested donors have contributed gen­ erously to the collections, and the arboretum is funded primarily by outside grants and restrict­ ed endowment funds with a combined market value of $17.7 million as of June 30, 2002. T h e arboretum conducts applied research on ornamental plants and serves as a test site for three plant evaluation programs: the Gold Medal Award of Garden M erit through the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society, the perfor­ mance of hollies through the American Holly Society, and the National Crabapple Evalua­ tion Program. T h e arboretum offers horticultural educational programs to the general public and Swarthmore students. These workshops, lectures, and classes are designed to cover many facets of the science/art called gardening. Tours are con­ ducted throughout the year for college people and interested public groups. Aiding the arboretum’s staff, in all o f its efforts, are the “Associates of the Scott Arboretum.” This membership organization provides not only financial support but also assistance in carrying out the myriad operations that make up the arboretum’s total program, such as plant propagation, public lectures, and tours to other gardens. More than 100 “arboretum assistants” aid in campus maintenance on a regular basis by volunteering. Student memberships are available. T h e arboretum’s newsletter, H ybrid, serves to publicize their activities and provides up-to-date information on seasonal gardening topics. Maps for self-guided tours and brochures of the arboretum’s plant collections are available at the Scott Offices, (610) 3288025, located in the Cunningham House. T h e Scott Arboretum was accredited by the American Association of Museums in 1995, 16 signifying its professional standards of opera­ tion as an arboretum.

O ffice telephone: (6 1 0 ) 328-8300 or (800) 667-3110. GENERAL STATEMENT In the selection o f students, the College seeks those qualities o f character, social responsibili­ ty, and intellectual capacity that it is primarily concerned to develop. It seeks them not in iso­ lation but as essential elements of the whole personality o f candidates for admission. Selection is important and difficult. N o simple formula will be effective. T h e task is to choose those who give promise o f distinction in the quality o f their personal lives, in service to the community, or in leadership in their chosen fields. Swarthmore College must choose its stu­ dents on the basis o f their academic achieve­ m ent and commitment to intellectual inquiry as well as their individual future worth to soci­ ety and of their collective contribution to the College. It is the College’s policy to have the student body represent not only different parts o f the U nited States but also many foreign countries; public, independent, and religiously affiliated schools; and various economic, social, religious, ethnic, and racial backgrounds. T h e College is also concerned to include in each class the sons and daughters o f alumni and members of the Society o f Friends. Admission to the first-year class is normally based on the satisfactory completion o f a fouryear secondary school program. Under some circumstances, students who have virtually completed the normal four-year program in three years will be considered for admission, provided they meet the competition of other candidates in general maturity as well as readi­ ness for a rigorous academic program. Homeschooled students should make every effort to complete the application with information that is appropriate to his/her experience. It is useful to note that Swarthmore is looking for the same information about a candidate as is required from a student with more traditional 26 secondary schooling. Students who have al­ ready completed a college degree, or higher, are not eligible for admission to Swarthmore College. A ll applicants are selected on the following evidence: 1. Record in secondary school. 2. Recommendations from the school princi­ pal, headmaster, or guidance counselor, and from two academic teachers. 3. SAT-I or A C T scores. 4. Three SA T-II scores, one o f which must be the SAT-II W riting test. Applicants consid­ ering a major in engineering are strongly en­ couraged to take the SAT-II M ath IIC test. 5. A brief statement about why the student is applying to Swarthmore, a brief essay on a meaningful activity or interest, and a longer essay (subject specified). 6. Co-curricular and extracurricular activities. Applicants must have satisfactory standing in school and standardized tests as well as strong intellectual interests. T h e College is also inter­ ested in strength o f character, promise of growth, initiative, seriousness o f purpose, distinction in personal and extracurricular interests, and a sense of social responsibility. T h e College values the diversity that varied interests and backgrounds can bring to the community. PREPARATION Swarthmore does not require a set plan of sec­ ondary school courses as preparation for its program. T h e election of specific subjects is left to the student and school advisers. In general, preparation should include the following: T. Accurate and effective use of the English language in reading, writing, and speaking. 2. Comprehension and application o f the prin­ ciples of mathematics. 3. T h e strongest possible command o f one or two foreign languages. T h e College encour­ ages students to study at least one language for four years, if possible. 4. Substantial course work in history and social studies; literature, art, and music; and math­ ematics and the sciences. Variations of choice and emphasis are acceptable, al­ though some work in each of the three groups is recommended. Those planning to major in engineering should present work in chemistry, physics, and four years o f mathematics, including algebra, geom­ etry, trigonometry, and calculus. F a ll E arly Decision Closing date for applications Notification o f candidate Nov. 15 by Dec. 15 W inter E arly Decision Closing date for applications Notification o f candidate Jan. 1 by Feb. 1 R egular Decision APPLICATIONS AND EXAMINATIONS Application to the College may be submitted through either the Regular D ecision or one of the Early D ecision plans. Applicants follow the same procedures, submit the same supporting materials, and are evaluated by the same cri­ teria under each plan. The Regular D ecision plan is designed for those candidates who wish to keep open several dif­ ferent options for their undergraduate educa­ tion throughout the admissions process. Appli­ cations under this plan will be accepted at any time up to the Jan. 1 deadline, but the applica­ tion should be submitted as early as possible to create a file for the candidate to w hich supporting material will be added up to the deadline. The Early D ecision plans are designed for can­ didates who have thoroughly and thoughtfully investigated Swarthmore and other colleges and found Swarthmore to be an unequivocal first choice. O n applying to Swarthmore C ol­ lege, Early-Decision candidates may not file an early decision application at other colleges, but they may file early action/regular applications at other colleges with the understanding that these applications will be withdrawn upon ad­ mission to Swarthmore. Any Early Decision candidate not admitted will receive one o f two determinations: a defer­ ral of decision, which secures reconsideration for the candidate among the Regular Decision candidates, or a denial o f admission, which withdraws the application from further con­ sideration. If one of these determinations is made, the applicant is free to apply to other institutions. Application under any plan must be accompa­ nied by a nonrefundable application fee of $60 or fee waiver (which must be approved by sec­ ondary school counselor). Timetables for the plans are the following: Closing date for applications Notification o f candidate Candidate reply date Jan. 1 by April 1 May 1 Under certain circumstances, admitted stu­ dents may apply in writing to defer their ad­ mission for one year. These requests must be received by May 1 and approved in writing by the dean o f admissions, and students must con­ firm their plans for the year by June 1. T he dean of admissions may choose to review other requests on a case-by-case basis. Students granted deferment may neither apply to nor enroll at another degree-granting college/ university program. Swarthmore College places strong emphasis on academic achievement and personal character. A n offer o f admission to Swarthmore College is dependent on a student maintaining his or her standard of academic achievement before enrolling at the College. A n offer o f admission is also dependent on a student’s continued demonstration o f character and high standards for personal conduct. Lapses in either category may be grounds for rescinding an offer of admission. For U .S. citizens and permanent residents ap­ plying as first-year or transfer students, admis­ sion to Swarthmore is determined without re­ gard to financial need. Information concerning financial aid is on pp. 32-47. THE INTERVIEW A n admissions interview with a representative o f the College is a recommended part o f the first-year application process. (Applicants for transfer are not interviewed.) Prospective firstyear applicants should take the initiative in ar­ ranging for this interview. On-campus inter­ views are available to rising seniors from June through early December. Students are encour­ aged to complete the interview before submit- 27 Admissions ting an application to the College. Those who can reach Swarthmore with no more than a half-day’s trip are urged to make an appoint­ m ent to visit the College for this purpose. O ther students may contact the Admissions Office in the fall of their senior year to request a meeting with an alumni representative in their own area. Interviews with alumni repre­ sentatives take longer to arrange than inter­ views on campus. A s a result, the deadline for applicants living in the United States to re­ quest an alumni interview is Nov. 15. T he deadline for applicants living overseas to re­ quest an alumni interview is Dec. 15. Arrangements for on-campus or alumni inter­ views can be made by writing to the Office of Admissions or by calling (610) 328-8300 or (800) 667-3110. Directions for reaching the College can be found on p. 440. ADVANCED PLACEMENT Enrolled first-year students with special cre­ dentials may be eligible during the first semes­ ter for advanced placement (placement into courses with prerequisites) and/or credit toward graduation from Swarthmore (32 credits are re­ quired). A ll decisions are made on a subject-bysubject basis by the registrar in consultation with individual Swarthmore departments. Typ­ ically, special credentials consist of Advanced Placement examinations of the College En­ trance Examination Board, higher-level exam­ inations of the International Baccalaureate, certain other foreign certifications (such as British A-Levels or the German Abitur), or courses taken at another college. Every effort is made to place students at the appropriate level, but no department is required to give credit for work done elsewhere. Credit is denied or re­ voked if a student chooses to take a course at Swarthmore that the Swarthmore department says essentially repeats the work covered by the credit. Departmental AP-credit policies are posted on the registrar’s W eb site under “Poli­ cies.” In some cases, students may qualify for ad­ vanced standing and may become juniors in their second year. To qualify for advanced standing, a student must do satisfactory work in the first semester, obtain 14 credits by the end o f the first year, intend to complete the degree 28 requirements in three years, and signify this intention when she or he applies for a major during the spring o f the first year. Those students who wish to have courses taken at another college considered for either ad­ vanced placement or credit must provide an of­ ficial transcript from the institution attended as well as written work (papets, examinations); syllabi; and reading lists in order that the course work may be evaluated by the depart­ ment concerned. Such requests for credit must be made within the first year at Swarthmore. Departments may set additional requirements. For instance, students may be required to take a placement examination at Swarthmore to validate their previous work. INTERNATIONAL ADMISSIONS T h e College is deeply committed to a strong international presence on campus. T h e appli­ cation process is the same as for U .S. citizens and permanent residents o f the United States with the following exceptions: 1< Admission is no t need-blind. Students must submit additional financial documentation to the Financial Aid Office. Applying for fi­ nancial aid places the student in the most selective subgroup of the total application pool regardless of the parental contribution. 2. Demonstrated proficiency in English is re­ quired o f those for whom English is not their first language. T his may be in the form of a standardized test for non-native speakers of English, such as T O EFL or APIEL, superior academic achievement in a school where English is the language o f instruction, or a portfolio o f graded English writing samples in conjunction with the ELPT. Although not requited, an interview on campus or with a College admissions representative overseas is considered to be very helpful. 3. Required SAT-I and SAT-II tests are waived for those who live in countries where such testing is unavailable. In countries where testing is available, applicants are strongly advised to make test arrangements early and to have scores reported directly to Swarth­ more College by the appropriate application deadline. 4. It is the applicant’s responsibility to guaran- tee the authenticity of all submitted creden­ tials. This includes notarized translations of official documents and certified school tran­ scripts signed by the appropriate school staff member. 5. T he College does not accept transfer appli­ cations from foreign nationals who require financial aid. APPLICATIONS FOR TRANSFER The College welcomes well-qualified transfer students. Applicants for transfer must have had an outstanding academic record in the institu­ tion attended and must present transcripts for both college and secondary school work, in­ cluding an official statement indicating that the student is leaving the institution attended in good standing. Students who have complet­ ed the equivalent o f two or more semesters of university-level work must apply for transfer admission. Admission status for students who have completed less than the equivalent of two semesters of university-level work will be de­ cided on a case-by-case basis. Transfer appli­ cants must take the SAT-I or the A C T if one of these tests has not been taken previously. Four semesters o f study at Swarthmore College constitute the minimum requirement for a de­ gree, two of which must be those o f the senior year. Applications for transfer must be filed by April 1 o f the year in which entrance is de­ sired. Swarthmore does not have a midyear transfer application process. Need-based finan­ cial assistance is available for transfer students who are U .S. citizens or permanent residents. Transfer applications are not accepted from in­ ternational students who require financial aid. Transfer applicants are notified o f decisions on or before May 30. Expenses STUDENT CHARGES Total charges for the 2 0 0 3 -2 0 0 4 academic year (two semesters) are as follows: Tuition $28,500 Room 4,572 Board 4,342 Student activities fee 302 $37,716 These are the annual charges billed by the Col­ lege. Students and their parents, however, should plan for expenditures associated with books, travel, and other personal items. In ad­ dition, the College will bill for unpaid library fines, H ealth Center fees, and other fees and fines not collected at the source. Students engaged in independent projects away from the College for which regular aca­ demic credit is anticipated are expected to reg­ ister in advance in the usual way and pay nor­ mal tuition. If the student is away from the College for a full semester, no charge for room and board will be made. However, if a student is away for only a part o f a semester, the above charges may be made on a pro rata basis. Late fees o f 1.5 percent per month will accrue on all past-due balances. Students with pastdue balances will not be permitted to enroll for the following semester, participate in the room lottery, graduate, nor obtain a transcript. T h e regular College tuition covers the normal program of four courses per term as well as vari­ ations o f as many as five courses or as few as three courses. Students who elect to carry more than five courses incur a unit charge for the additional course ($3,562.50) or half-course ($1,781.25), although they may within the reg­ ular tuition vary their programs to average as many as five courses in the two semesters of any academic year. College policy does not per­ m it programs of fewer than three courses for degree candidates in their first eight semesters o f enrollment. Study Abroad Students who wish to receive Swarthmore credit for study abroad must, for the semester or year abroad, pay the full Swarthmore charges (excluding the student activities fee). Finan­ cial aid is normally applicable to study abroad, with the approval o f the Office for Foreign Study. Students contemplating study abroad should contact Steven Piker, foreign study ad­ viser, well in advance for academic and admin­ istrative planning.

About 50 percent of the total student body currently receives aid from the College. About 99 percent o f the fi­ nancial aid awarded by the College is based on demonstrated financial need and is usually a combination of scholarship, loan, and campus employment. T h e College is committed to meeting all demonstrated financial need, and demonstrated need is assessed by a careful re­ view o f families’ financial circumstances. In 2003—2004, Swarthmore students need an average o f $25,150. Thus, to meet that need, our average award is $25,150. A prospective student should apply for aid and outside assistance when applying for admission to Swarthmore. However, admission and finan­ cial aid decisions are made separately. Instruc­ tions for obtaining and filing an application are included in the admissions application. Finan­ cial assistance will be offered if a family does not have the capacity to meet College costs. T h e amount a family is expected to contribute is determined by weighing the family’s income and assets against such demands as taxes, living expenses, medical expenses, and siblings’ un­ dergraduate tuition expenses, etc. Family con­ tribution also includes a $1,450 to $1,890 sum­ mer earnings contribution as well as a portion o f the student’s personal savings and assets. For 2 0 0 3 -2 0 0 4 , the College bill, which in­ cludes tuition, room, and board, and a compre­ hensive fee, will be $37,716. T his comprehen­ sive fee covers not only the usual student ser­ vices— health, library, laboratory fees, for ex­ ample— but admission to all social, cultural, and athletic events on campus. T h e total bud­ get figure against which aid is computed is $39,616. This allows $1,900 for books and per­ sonal expenses. A travel allowance is added to the budget for those who live in the United States but more than 100 miles from the College. In keeping with the policy o f basing financial aid upon demonstrated need, the College re­ views each student’s financial situation annual­ ly. Each student who would like to be consid­ ered for our support for the next year must sub­ mit a new financial aid application midyear. A student’s aid is no t withdrawn unless financial 32 need is no longer demonstrated. Assistance is available only during a normal-length under­ graduate program (eight semesters) and while a student makes satisfactory academic progress. These limitations are also applied in our con­ sideration o f a sibling’s undergraduate educa­ tional expenses. Students who choose to live off campus will not receive College scholarship or College loan assistance in excess of their College bill. However, the cost o f living off campus will be recognized in the calculation of a student’s financial need, and outside sources o f aid may be used to help meet off-campus liv­ ing expenses once the College bill is satisfied. U .S . students who have not previously re­ ceived financial aid may become eligible and may apply to receive aid if their financial situ­ ations have changed. A student who marries may continue to apply for aid, but a contribu­ tion from the parents is expected equal to the contribution made were the student single. T h e College has, by action o f our Board, reaf­ firmed its need-blind Admission Policy and the related practice of meeting the demonstrated financial need of all admitted or enrolled stu­ dents. Eligibility for federal aid funds is now limited to those who are able to complete and submit to us the Statem ent of Registration Compliance, but additional funds have been made available for those who are unable to ac­ cept need-based federal aid because they have not registered with the Selective Service. Financial support for foreign citizens is limited and must be requested during the admission application process. New aid applications from foreign nationals cannot be considered after admission. A special brochure has been prepared to advise families o f the various sources o f aid as well as a variety o f financing options. Please request a copy from our Admissions Office. You may also find the answers to most of your financial aid questions on our W eb site, http://www.swarthmore.edu/admissions/financial_aid.html. SCHOLARSHIPS For the academic year 200 3 -2 0 0 4 , the College awarded more than $15 m illion in Swarthmore scholarship funds. About one-half o f that sum was provided through the generosity o f alumni and friends by special gifts and the endowed scholarships listed on pp. 34-47. It is not nec­ essary to apply for a specific College scholar­ ship. The College decides who is to receive en­ dowed scholarships, and others are helped from general scholarship funds. Although the quali­ fying criteria for awarding most endowed scholarships remain general, some donors have established explicit guidelines that closely mir­ ror the interests of the individual for whom the scholarship is named. However, financial need is a requirement for all College scholarships unless otherwise indicated. T h e federal gov­ ernment also makes Pell Grants and Supple­ mental Educational Opportunity Grants avail­ able to eligible students. LOAN FUNDS The College is able to meet the financial needs of each student through long-term, low-inter­ est loan funds with generous repayment terms combined with Swarthmore’s scholarship pro­ grams. Although most offers of support from the College include elements o f self-help (campus work and borrowing opportunities), the College strives to keep each student’s debt at a manageable level. Aided students are expected to meet a portion of their demonstrated need (from $1,000 to about $4,500 each year) through the federal Stafford Loan, Perkins Loan, or the Swarthmore College Loan programs. T h e College de­ termines which source is appropriate for which student. Each of these programs allows the bor­ rower to defer repayment until after leaving school, and each allows further deferment of the debt if the borrower goes on to graduate school. Up to 10 years may be taken to repay Stafford, Perkins, or Swarthmore College loans. No separate application is needed for the Perkins or Swarthmore College loans because the College administers these funds. T h e Stafford Loan applications must be initiated by the student with a bank. Parents who wish to borrow might consider the federal PLUS Loan. Up to $37,716 per year is available at a variable interest rate. Repayment may be made over a 10-year period. For more information about these loan pro­ grams, read our Financial Aid Brochure (avail­ able from our Admissions Office), or visit our W eb site. T h e College also maintains the following spe­ cial loan funds: T he Jay and Sandra Levine L oan Fund T he T hatcher Fam ily L oan Fund T he Sw arthm ore C ollege Student L oan Fund STUDENT EMPLOYMENT Student employment on the Swarthmore cam­ pus is coordinated by the Student Employment Office, which is under student direction. Jobs are available in such areas as the library, de­ partment offices, the post office and the stu­ dent-run coffeehouse. Placem ents can be arranged when students arrive in the fall. Oncampus rates o f pay run from $7.13 to $7.63 per hour. Students receiving financial aid are usu­ ally offered the opportunity to earn up to $1,520 during the year and are given hiring priority, but there are usually jobs available for others who wish to work on campus. T he Student Employment Office publicizes local off-campus and temporary employment opportunities. Students are generally able to carry a moderate working schedule without damaging their academic performance. Stu­ dents are encouraged not to work more than seven or eight hours weekly. Off-campus placements in public or private, nonprofit agencies in the local or Philadelphia area can be arranged through the Financial Aid Office during the academic year or nation­ wide during the summer (when federal funds are sufficient) for students who qualify under the federal College W ork-Study Program. Hospitals, schools, museums, and social service agencies, and local, state, or federal govern­ ment agencies are suitable employers.

Swarthmore seeks to help its stu­ dents realize their fullest intellectual and per­ sonal potential combined with a deep sense of ethical and social concern.” Although the College places great value on freedom o f ex­ pression, it also recognizes the responsibility to protect the structures and values of an academ­ ic community. It is important, therefore, that students assume responsibility for helping to sustain an educational and social community where the rights of all are respected. This in­ cludes conforming their behavior to standards of conduct that are designed to protect the health, safety, dignity, and rights o f all. T he College community also has a responsibility to protect the possessions, property, and integrity of the institution as well as of individuals. T he aim of both this statement and the Student Judicial Procedures is to balance all these rights, responsibilities, and community values fairly and efficiently. Swarthmore College policies and jurisdiction normally apply only to the conduct of matricu­ lated students occurring on Swarthmore C ol­ lege property or at College-sanctioned events that take place off campus. In situations in which both the complainant and accused are matriculated Swarthmore students, however, College policies and jurisdiction may apply re­ gardless of the location o f the incident. In the event that a student organization violates a College regulation, the organization, as well as its individual members, can be held account­ able for the violation and sanctioned by the College. Finally, students should realize they have the responsibility to ensure that their guests do not violate College policies, rules, and regulations while visiting and that stu­ dents may be subject to disciplinary action for misbehavior of their guests. A complaint against a student may be made to the deans by a student, a public safety officer, a member of the College’s faculty or staff, or a College department. If the alleged incident represents a violation of federal, state, or local law, the complainant also has the option of ini­ tiating proceedings in the criminal or civil court system regardless of whether a complaint is filed within the College system. T h e following is a summary and explanation of the rights, responsibilities, and rules governing student conduct at Swarthmore College. This statement serves as a general framework and is not intended to provide an exhaustive list of all possible infractions. Students violating any o f the following are subject to disciplinary ac­ tion. A ll sanctions imposed by the judicial sys­ tem must be obeyed or additional penalties will be levied. For a description of the College’s ju ­ dicial process, please see the section below on Student Judicial System . 1 . Academic and Personal Integrity Academ ic Freedom and R espon sib ility T h e following is excerpted from T he Faculty H andbook (Section II.A .2): Swarthmore College has long subscribed to the fundamental tenets o f academic freedom artic­ ulated in the 1940 Statem ent of Principles on Academic Freedom and Tenure by the Ameri­ can Association o f University Professors. This doctrine has been reiterated and amplified in the association’s 1970 Statem ent on Freedom and Responsibility. Swarthmore College ad­ heres to the 1970 Statem ent, relevant portions of which are reproduced below. T h e complete texts o f the association’s 1940 and 1970 state­ ments may be found in A .A .U.P. publications. Membership in the academic community im­ poses on students, faculty members, adminis­ trators, and trustees an obligation to respect the dignity of others, to acknowledge their right to express differing opinions and to foster and defend intellectual honesty, freedom of in­ quiry and instruction, and free expression on and off the campus. T h e expression of dissent and the attempt to produce change, therefore, may not be carried out in ways that injure in­ dividuals or damage institutional facilities or disrupt the classes of one’s teachers or col­ leagues. Speakers on campus must not only be protected from violence but also be given an opportunity to be heard. Those who seek to call attention to grievances must not do so in ways that significantly impede the functions of the institution. 49 College Life Students are entitled to an atmosphere con­ ducive to learning and to even-handed treat­ ment in all aspects o f the teacher-student rela­ tionship. Faculty members may not refuse to enroll or teach students on the grounds o f their beliefs or the possible uses to which they may put the knowledge to be gained in a course. T h e student should not be forced by the au­ thority inherent in the instructional role to make particular personal choices as to political action or his own part in society. Evaluation of students and the award o f credit must be based on academic performance professionally judged and not on matters irrelevant to that perfor­ mance, such as personality, race, religion, de­ gree of political activism, or personal beliefs. If a student has a grievance against a faculty member th at can not be resolved directly through the faculty member involved, the stu­ dent should take her or his concerns to the de­ partment chair. If the grievance remains unre­ solved, the student should contact the provost. Academ ic M isconduct T h e following procedures were adopted by the faculty on Feb. 16, 2001, and are excerpted from T he Faculty H andbook (Section II.B .7): I. C onsidering A cadem ic M isconduct C ases i. Academic misconduct is defined as a violation o f the College’s standards o f academ­ ic integrity whether these violations are inten­ tional or unintentional. ii. T h e College Judiciary Com m ittee (C JC ) will adjudicate academic misconduct cases. iii. In academic misconduct cases the dean o f the College, who chairs the C JC , acts as a neutral procedural facilitator, not as an advo­ cate or a judge. T h e dean o f the College, as chair, and the associate dean for student affairs, as observer, are ex officio, nonvoting members o f C JC . II. Procedures 'i. A n instructor who has good evidence to suspect a student or students of academic mis­ conduct (e.g., cheating on an exam; plagiarism on a paper, lab reports, problem sets, or honors work) will, at the instructor’s discretion, con­ sult the department chair about the case. Mere suspicion on the part o f a faculty member that the student’s work does not sound right is nor­ mally not by itself sufficient grounds to bring a 50 case forward in the absence o f good evidence. Good evidence may include, but is not limited to, the following: a. Som e o f the student’s work coincides with or closely paraphrases a source that is not properly acknowledged. Sources that must be acknowledged include, but are not limited to, books, articles in books, journal articles, Web pages, graphs, charts, tables, data sets, etc. in any o f the sources just mentioned. Proper ac­ knowledgment must indicate both the source and how it served as a source for any specific portions o f the student’s work that have been based on it. b. Glaring coincidences in the work of students on exams, papers, problem sets, etc., where cooperation in producing the work was no t permitted. ii. In any event, the instructor will meet with the student (or students) to present evi­ dence to the student and may, at the instruc­ tor’s discretion, invite the department chair to be present. iii. A fter this meeting, if the instructor’s suspicions are not allayed, the instructor will submit a report to the College’s associate dean for student life. T h e report will include a nar­ rative of the incident and evidence supporting the charge. iv. T h e associate dean will provide copies o f the report to all faculty members of the G jC including alternates and will call a preliminary meeting o f the faculty members of the C JC for the purpose of determining the merits of the case. If in the judgment o f this group there are sufficient grounds to warrant a hearing, the as­ sociate dean will schedule the hearing at a time mutually convenient to the committee mem­ bers o f the C JC and the student charged with academic misconduct. T h e associate dean will inform the student o f the charge and his or her right to have a support person present at the hearing. T h e support person may be a fellow student, a faculty member, or a member of the staff. Normally, all evidence to be considered must be submitted by the accuser and the de­ fendant to the associate dean for student life prior to the hearing. v. Before academic misconduct cases are heard, the associate dean will provide the com­ m ittee with an updated summary o f the previ­ ous years’ cases and their disposition. III. Sanctions i. The C JC will consider the case, make a finding o f guilty or not guilty on the basis of the preponderance o f the evidence, and deter­ mine an appropriate sanction if a finding of guilty is reached. ii. In determining a sanction, the commit­ tee will consider all the circumstances o f the case, including the intent o f the student, the character and magnitude o f the offense, the considered evidential judgment of the faculty member bringing the accusation, and mitigat­ ing circumstances. It is the opinion o f the fac­ ulty that for an intentional first offense, failure in the course normally is appropriate. Suspen­ sion for a semester or deprivation o f the degree in that year may also be appropriate when war­ ranted by the seriousness o f the offense. iii. For a second offense, the penalty nor­ mally should be expulsion. IV. Appeals A request for an appeal may be brought to the president and the provost within 10 days fol­ lowing a guilty decision by the C JC but only on the grounds o f new evidence or procedural error. If the president and the provost decide that this new information warrants an appeal, they will appoint a new committee of two fac­ ulty members and two students to review the case. T he decision o f the appeal committee is final. The committee may confirm the decision of the C JC , reduce or increase the sanctions, or dismiss the original charges. V. Inform ing F acu lty an d Students A bou t Swarthmore’s A cadem ic M isconduct Policy The integrity of a liberal arts education de­ pends on the principle o f academic integrity. Educating the community about the Academic Misconduct Policy is essential to the educa­ tional goals o f the College. Both students and faculty will be regularly in­ formed about the College’s Academic Miscon­ duct Policy in a variety o f ways including by their instructors or advisers, by the Dean’s Of­ fice, and by means o f statements in such places as the College catalog, faculty and student handbooks, the College W eb site, departmen­ tal or divisional handouts, etc. Discussion of the policy may also be part of such sessions as orientation for first-year students in the fall, orientation for new faculty, and in writing associate and student academic mentor train­ ing. Students must finally take the responsibil­ ity for understanding the rules with respect to proper citation o f sources and the College’s academic misconduct policy. Standard C itation P ractices Writers may refer to a handbook on scholarly writing for information about correct citation procedures. T h e M LA H andbook is particularly useful because it also provides examples o f pla­ giarism. Supplementary departmental regula­ tions governing joint projects, etc., may be found on file in departmental offices. T h e in­ formal nature o f some writing may obviate the necessity o f rigorously formal citation, but still requires honest attribution to original authors o f all borrowed materials. Students should feel free to consult with instructors whenever there is doubt as to proper documentation. Fear o f being charged with plagiarism need not inhibit anyone from appropriately using another’s ideas or data in a piece o f writing. Even direct quotation frequently serves as an effective device in developing an argument. Academic honesty requires only that writers properly acknowledge their debts to other au­ thors at least by means o f quotation marks, footnotes, and references, if not also with intext phraseology like “Einstein argued in 1900 that...” or “As Melville implies in Chapter 3 of M oby -D ick..." Such usage is fully within the tradition o f forthright academic work. Subm ission o f the Sam e W ork in M ore T han One Course W hen submitting any work to an instructor for a course, it is assumed that the work was pro­ duced specifically for that course. Submission of the same work in more than one course without prior approval is prohibited. If the courses are being taken concurrently, approval o f the professors for both courses is required. If a student wishes to submit a paper that was written for a course taken in a previous semes­ ter, the student need only obtain the permis­ sion o f the professor teaching the current course involved. U brary/Educational M aterials Ethics Students may no t hinder the educational opportunity o f other students by behavior such as removing, hiding, or defacing educational materials. 51 College Life Statem ent o n Computing U se o f the Swarthmore College computer sys­ tem and networks is governed by the general norms o f responsible community conduct de­ scribed in the student, faculty, and staff hand­ books, by local, state and federal laws, and by College policies specific to use of the comput­ er systems and networks, which are described in the following sections. Swarthmore College normally grants access to its computing network and systems to current­ ly enrolled students, to current and emeritus faculty, and to currently employed staff. By users, this document refers to all who use the computers, networks, and peripherals owned or operated by the College, or who gain access to third-party computers and networks through the College’s system, whether these individuals have regular accounts or are system adminis­ trators. 1. Users o f services operated by Swarthmore College have the following obligations and responsibilities: a. To respect software copyright. T h e copy­ ing or use o f copyrighted software in violation of vendor license requirements is strictly for­ bidden. N ot only does such violation (“soft­ ware piracy”) wrongly appropriate the intellec­ tual property o f others, but it places the indi­ vidual user and the College at risk o f legal action. b. To protect their accounts from unautho­ rized use by others. Users are responsible for all activities under their user ID, and must take reasonable steps to ensure that they alone, or some authorized person under their direct con­ trol, have access to the account. c. To respect the integrity o f other user’s accounts. Individuals must not use another person’s user ID without express permission or attempt to decode passwords or to access infor­ mation illegitimately. A system administrator is allowed to decode passwords as part o f regu­ lar operations. d. N ot to send forged e-mail (mail sent under another user’s name) or to read e-mail addressed to another user, for example, by ac­ cessing their electronic mailbox or mail resid­ ing in system files. Potentially offensive elec­ tronic communication shall be considered as it would be if conveyed by other media. e. To avoid excess use o f shared resources, 52 whether through monopolizing systems, over­ loading networks, misusing printer or other re­ sources, or sending “junk mail.” Information Technology Services (IT S ) will occasionally issue guidelines to the use of shared resources. Because Swarthmore College provides and maintains these systems to further its academic mission, using computers for nonacademic pur­ poses has low priority. f. To avoid engaging in any activity that may reasonably be expected to be harmful to the systems operated by the College or a third party or to information stored upon them. W hen a system vulnerability is discovered, users are expected to report it to a system administrator. Violations o f these rules that come to the attention o f IT S will be referred as appropriate to the offices o f the dean, provost, or human resources. These offices will consider violations using information provided by IT S. In cases of violation o f “f” above, IT S may temporarily withhold services from students, faculty or staff. T h e case will then be referred in a timely manner to the appropriate College authorities. 2. Swarthmore College for its part assures users that College personnel are obliged: a. To grant personal files on College com­ puters (e.g., files in a user’s account) the same degree of privacy as personal files in Collegeassigned space in an office, lab, or dormitory (e.g., files in a student’s desk); to grant private communications via computer the same degree o f protection as private communications in other media; and to treat an article on a U SE N E T newsgroup or other bulletin board analogously to a poster or a College publica­ tion. b. To take reasonable steps to protect users from unauthorized entry into their accounts or files, whether by other users or by system ad­ ministrators, except in instances where a sys­ tem-related problem requires such entry. c. To take reasonable steps to prevent the dissemination of information concerning indi­ vidual user activities, for example, records of users entering a bulletin board network. A cknow ledgm ents. Some of the above rules and guidelines have been adapted from earlier statements in the Sw arthm ore C ollege Student H andbook and from materials made available from the Electronic Frontier Foundation, in­ eluding the policy statements o f the American Association of University Professors, Columbia University, the University of Delaware, the University o f Southern California at Los Angeles, and Virginia Tech University. False Inform ation, M isrepresentation, and Identification A student may not knowingly provide false information or make misrepresentation to any College office. Students are obligated to pro­ vide College personnel with accurate identifi­ cation on request. Forgery, Fraud, and Unauthorized Intim idation Verbal, written, or electronic threats of vio­ lence or other threatening behavior directed toward another person or group that reason­ ably leads the person or persons in the group to fear for their physical well-being constitutes in­ timidation and is prohibited. Anyone who at­ tempts to use intim idation or retaliation against someone who reports an incident, brings a complaint, or participates in an inves­ tigation in an attempt to influence the judicial process will be subject to serious sanctions. H arassm ent Students may not engage in physical violence against others. Those who do will be subject to serious sanctions. T h e College seeks to sustain an environment in which harassment has no place. Those who harass others will be subject to serious sanc­ tions. D efinition, principles, and criteria. Harassment can take many forms, and it needs to be em­ phasized that harassment can be and often is nonphysical, including words, pictures, ges­ tures, and other forms o f expression. To count as harassment, such expression must be reason­ ably regarded as (a) taunting,1 vilifying,12 or de­ grading3 whether (b) directed at individuals or groups (subject to the clarification and qualifi­ cation below) and (c) where reasonable people may suppose that such expression harms its tar­ g e ts ) by substantially interfering with their educational opportunities, peaceful enjoyment o f residence and community, or terms of em­ ployment. Further, to count as harassment sub­ je c t to possible formal grievance procedures, such expression must (d) be taken either with the intent to interfere with the protected in­ terests mentioned in (c), above, or with reck­ less disregard to the nature o f the conduct. Such intent or recklessness must be inferred from all the circumstances. Finally, (e) such ex­ pression must be repeated and persistent. To be “repeated and persistent,” the offending con­ duct must have been brought to the attention of the defendant (though not necessarily by the complainant), be of the same kind, and re­ peated. There are two reasons for adding, (e): 1 Derisive, mocking, ridiculing, or jeering ex­ pression. disregarding the effects o f one’s expression in these respects. Possession In addition to the forgery, alteration, or unau­ thorized possession or use of College docu­ ments, records, or instruments of identifica­ tion, forged communications (paper or elec­ tronic mail) are prohibited. 2. Violence, Assault, Intimidation, and Harassment (for sexual violations see Sexual Misconduct) Swarthmore College seeks to maintain an en­ vironment of mutual respect among all its members. A ll forms o f violence, assault, intim­ idation, and harassment, including that based on sex, race, color, age, religion, national ori­ gin, sexual preference, or handicap, undermine the basis for such respect and violate the sense of community vital to the College’s education­ al enterprise. This statement o f policy should not be taken to supersede the Colleges com ­ mitment to academic freedom, which it hereby reaffirms. T h e reasoned expression of different views plays a particularly vital part in a college community. Freedom of expression, fundamen­ tal to an exchange of views, carries with it corollary responsibilities equally basic to rea­ soned debate. Violence and Assault 2 Forceful defaming or degrading expression with intent to make the target of the offend­ ing expression vile or shameful or recklessly 3 Subjecting one to public shame that nor­ mally cause feelings of inferiority or loss of self-respect. 53 College Life first, the College wishes to have the opportuni­ ty to educate those who may not realize that certain expression constitutes harassment; sec­ ond, by requiring that the expression be re­ peated and persistent, the College helps estab­ lish intent or recklessness. However: (f) before any expression can be considered for possible formal grievance procedures, it must be clear that no substantial free expression interests are threatened by bringing a formal charge o f ha­ rassing expression. T his strict criterion for pos­ sible formal grievance procedures must be im­ posed to ensure that the College does nothing that would tend to diminish free expression or compromise principles o f academic freedom in the vigorous and often contentious examina­ tion and criticism o f ideas, works o f art, and po­ litical activity that marks Swarthmore College. Because groups have been included in (b), earlier, the following clarification and qualifi­ cation is in order. If expression that would be regarded as harassing if directed at an individ­ ual is directed at a group— where no individu­ als are specifically named or referred to as tar­ gets— any member o f that group will have an adjudicative complaint only i f it can be estab­ lished that a reasonable person would regard that offending expression as harassing each and every member of the group as individuals. Stalking Stalking is a form o f harassment, which, fol­ lowing the Pennsylvania C rim inal Code, occurs when a person engages in a course of conduct or repeatedly commits acts toward another person, including following the person without proper authority, under circumstances that demonstrate either of the following: plac­ ing the person in reasonable fear o f bodily in­ jury; or reasonably causing substantial emo­ tional distress to the person. 3. Sexual Misconduct Sexual misconduct represents a continuum o f behaviors ranging from physical sexual assault and abuse to sexual harassment and intimida­ tion and is a serious violation of the College’s code o f conduct. Both women and men can be subject to and can be capable o f sexual mis­ conduct. It can occur between two people whether or not they are in a relationship in which one has power over the other, or are o f different sexes. Charges of sexual misconduct may be handled 54 according to either informal or formal proce­ dures. Regardless o f whether or not options for resolution are pursued within the College sys­ tem, complainants always have the option of filing charges in civil or criminal court. It is im­ portant to note that discussing concerns with or seeking clarification or support from the gender education adviser, a dean, or others does no t obligate a person to file a formal com­ plaint initiating judicial procedures. T he gen­ der education adviser will register each request for assistance in resolving a case involving charges o f sexual misconduct, whether formal or informal. These records will be kept confi­ dential to the extent permitted by law. Sexual A ssau lt and Abuse Students are prohibited from engaging in sex­ ual assault or abuse o f any kind. D efinition. Sexual assault is defined as any sex­ ual contact that occurs without the consent of the other person. Specifically, it is intentional physical contact with an intimate part of the body or with clothes covering intimate body parts without the consent o f the person touched. Sexual assault includes but is not lim­ ited to sexual penetration o f an unwilling per­ son’s genital, anal, or oral openings; touching an unwilling person’s intimate parts such as genitalia, groin, breasts, lips, buttocks, or the clothes covering them; or forcing an unwilling person to touch another person’s intimate parts or clothes covering them. W hen sexual assault occurs repeatedly between individuals, it is re­ ferred to as sexual abuse. Consent. Students have the responsibility to ensure that any sexual interaction occurs only with mutual consent. If a person indicates that she/he does not want sexual contact, then any further sexual contact is considered to be with­ out the person’s consent. If the person has agreed to sexual interaction, she or he has the right to change her/his mind and indicate that she/he no longer wants to continue the inter­ action. A person has the right to indicate she/he does not want any further sexual con­ tact no matter how much sexual interaction has already taken place. Valid consent cannot be obtained from someone who is asleep, un­ conscious, coerced, or is otherwise unable to give informed, free, and considered consent. It must be emphasized that the consumption of alcohol and other drugs may substantially im­ pair judgment and the ability to give consent. Those who willingly permit themselves to be­ come impaired by alcohol or other drugs may be putting themselves at greater risk, but this impaired state provides no defense for those who take advantage o f people whose judgment and control are impaired. Sexual H arassment The following definition is based on that for­ mulated by the Federal Equal Opportunity Commission. Sexual harassment, a form of dis­ crimination based on sex, gender, or sexual ori­ entation, clearly endangers the environment of mutual respect and is prohibited. Because be­ havior that constitutes sexual harassment is a violation of federal law (Title V II o f the Civil Rights A ct of 1964, Title IX of the Education Amendments o f 1972), any individual who feels that she or he has been subjected to sexu­ al harassment has the right to initiate legal proceedings in criminal or civil court in addi­ tion to or in lieu o f a complaint pursuant to this policy. Definition. Sexual harassment is of two basic types: (a) any action, verbal expression, usual­ ly repeated or persistent, or series of actions or expressions that have either the intent, or are reasonably perceived as having the effect, of creating an intimidating, hostile, or demeaning educational, employment, or living environ­ ment for a student or College employee, by fo­ cusing on that person’s gender. A hostile envi­ ronment is defined as one that interferes with the ability to learn, exist in living conditions, work (if employed by the College), or have ac­ cess and opportunity to participate in all and any aspect of campus life (harassment creating a hostile environment); (b) any action in which submission to conduct of a sexual nature is made either explicitly or implicitly a term or condition o f an individual’s education or em­ ployment, or submission to or rejection of such conduct is used as the basis for academic or em­ ployment decisions affecting that individual, (quid pro quo harassment). Because at Swarthmore it is not unusual for students to supervise other students or for stu­ dents to have actual or perceived power or in­ fluence over another students academic perfor­ mance (e.g., student graders, student labora­ tory assistants, and student writing associates), there can exist a power imbalance between stu­ dents that makes it possible for quid pro quo harassment to occur between them. D escriptions. Sexually harassing behaviors differ in type and severity and can range from subtle verbal harassment to unwelcome physical con­ tact. Sexual harassment includes but is not lim­ ited to (a) unwelcome verbal or physical ad­ vances, persistent leers, lewd comments; (b) the persistent use of irrelevant references that insult or degrade a person’s gender, or the use of sex stereotypes to insult or degrade; (c) the use by a person in authority o f his or her position to coerce another person to do something o f a sexual nature that she or he would not other­ wise do. Coercion need not involve physical force. Scope and resolution. There is a wide range of behaviors that falls within the general defini­ tion o f sexual harassment and many differing notions o f what behaviors are and are not ac­ ceptable. Key factors that determine instances of sexual harassment are that the behavior is unwelcome, is gender based, and is reasonably perceived as offensive and objectionable. Such behavior need not produce or threaten some tangible loss to the receiver in order to be deemed harassment. If it is unclear that the be­ havior constitutes harassment, a person who thinks she or he has been harassed should not spend considerable time struggling alone with this issue. Students are strongly encouraged to bring their issues to the gender education ad­ viser, a dean, the equal opportunity officer, or others trained in this area for support, clarifica­ tion, and to discuss options for informal resolu­ tion or formal adjudication. In cases in which the harassment is subtle, it cannot be assumed that the offending person is aware o f the way in which his or her behavior has been interpreted. There are several ways to make a person aware that his or her behavior constitutes sexual harassment. T h e grievant is never under any obligation to take any steps that would cause him or her to come into con­ tact with the harasser in ways he or she is un­ willing to do. Instead, the grievant can consid­ er all the informal and formal means open to him of her for resolution and choose what seems most useful and workable in his or her particular case. T h e grievant must also weigh, however, the fact that without in some way being made aware o f his or her actions, the ha­ rasser may continue the offensive behavior. In 55 College Life the most serious instances of sexual harass­ ment, it is unreasonable to expect grievants to confront their perceived harassers. In these cases the grievant should enlist the help o f a trained third party such as the gender educa­ tion adviser, a dean, the equal opportunity of­ ficer, or another person trained in this area. It is important to remember that any member o f the community can be guilty o f sexually ha­ rassing any other member regardless of position o f authority or status. Although students have often found it difficult to come forward when the perceived harasser is in a position o f au­ thority or is threatening, procedures are in place to respond and to provide support throughout the resolution process. Support the campus specified by Student Council and the dean. T h e observance o f moderation and decorum with respect to drink is a student obligation. In addition to accountability for specific behavior and guidelines described in the College policy on alcohol and other drugs, it is important to note that being under the in­ fluence o f alcohol or other drugs is not an ex­ cuse for violation o f the Statem ent o f Student Rights, R esponsibilities, and C ode o f Conduct and does not reduce a student’s accountability. For a complete description o f the College’s Alco­ holic Beverage Policy guidelines, please see the section in the Student H andbook. T h e use, possession, or distribution of injurious drugs or narcotics without the specific recom­ mendation o f a physician and knowledge of the deans subjects a student to possible suspension or expulsion. Support is available through the gender educa­ tion adviser, a group o f trained faculty and staff members comprising the Sexual Misconduct Advisers and Resource Team (SM A R T ), and the deans for students who feel that they have been subjected to any form o f sexual miscon­ duct. Consultation with any of these individu­ als in no way limits a student’s options for res­ olution nor commits the student to a particular course o f action. T h e College also provides support when requested through the Dean’s Office to those students charged with sexual misconduct. There are specific rights for com­ plainants of sexual misconduct and for those students accused o f sexual misconduct; these rights are listed in detail in the Student H and­ book. In addition, students are encouraged to discuss their concerns with a dean when decid­ ing whether to file a formal complaint. Climbing on any College building or being present on building roofs is not allowed. In un­ usual circumstances, arrangements to climb predesignated locations may be coordinated through the Public Safety Department. R elated Policies F ires, F ire Safety Equipm ent, and Alarm s T h e College also has sexual misconduct poli­ cies as they relate to staff-student behavior and faculty-student behavior. T h e College policy governing staff and the related grievance pro­ cedure can be found in the S ta ff H andbook. T he College policy governing faculty and the relat­ ed grievance procedure can be found in the Faculty H andbook. Tampering or interference with, as well as de­ struction or misuse of, fire safety and fire pre­ vention equipment is prohibited and is a viola­ tion of state law. A n automatic fine o f $125 for each piece of equipment plus the cost of re­ placement of equipment is charged to any stu­ dent violating this regulation, and further dis­ ciplinary action may be taken. Any student who causes an alarm to be set off for improper purposes is liable for the expenses incurred by the fire department(s) in responding to the alarm. If no individuals accept responsibility when a violation o f this policy occurs in a res­ idence hall, all residents of that residence hall are subject to fines and charges for costs in­ 4. Actions Potentially Injurious to Oneself or Others A lcohol and O ther Drugs T h e possession and use o f alcoholic beverages on the campus are regulated by federal, state, and local law and are limited to those areas of 56 Smoking Smoking is prohibited in all public spaces throughout the C ollege meeting rooms, lounges, offices, and halls. A $25 fine will be charged for violating this policy, and students can be removed from nonsmoking College housing if they smoke in rooms on nonsmoking halls. Smoking is allowed outdoors and in the student’s room (in certain residence halls), pro­ vided that the door remains closed. Clim bing on College Buildings or Structures curred by the College and/or fire depart­ m ents). Open flames are not permitted in res­ idence halls. Any student with an open flame (e.g., candle or incense) will be subject to a $500 fine. Students are financially responsible for any damages resulting from reckless con­ duct or violation of college rules regulating res­ idence hall safety. Firearms; Firew orks No student may possess or use a firearm on Swarthmore College property or its environs. Firearms, including rifles, shotguns, handguns, air guns, and gas-powered guns and all ammu­ nition or hand-loading equipment and supplies for the same are not allowed in any student res­ idence or in any College building. Requests for exceptions must be made to the dean. No stu­ dent may possess or use fireworks on Swarth­ more College property or its environs. Reckless Conduct Conduct that places oneself or another in im­ minent danger o f bodily harm is prohibited. The standard as to what constitutes imminent danger is solely at the discretion of the dean and/or the judicial body hearing the case. 5. College and Personal Property Illegal Entry Unauthorized entry into or presence within enclosed and/or posted College buildings or areas, including student rooms or offices, even when unlocked, is prohibited and may subject a student to fines and other sanctions. Locks an d Keys Tampering with locks to College buildings, unauthorized possession or use of College keys, and alteration or duplication of College keys is against College policy. T he ft or Damage Theft and negligent or intentional damage to personal or College property will subject a stu­ dent to paying for the repair or replacement of the damaged property as well as to disciplinary action. In the event that damage occurs in a residence hall for which no one assumes re­ sponsibility, payment for damages will be di­ vided equally among all residents of that hall. For damage that occurs during a student event in a space other than a residence hall and for which no individual student(s) accept(s) re­ sponsibility, the sponsoring students and/or or­ ganization will be held accountable for the money for replacement or repair o f the dam­ aged property and may be subject to further disciplinary action. Parking No student may park an automobile on C ol­ lege property without permission from the Car Authorization Committee, a student-adminis­ tration group. 6. Guests Friends o f Swarthmore students are welcome on campus. If a guest o f a student will be stay­ ing in a residence hall over night, the resident assistant and the housekeeper must be notified. A guest is not permitted to stay in a residence hall more than four consecutive nights. R e­ quests for exceptions must be made to the di­ rector o f residential life. Student hosts are responsible for the conduct o f their guests on campus and will be held ac­ countable for any violation of the code o f con­ duct or other rules o f the College committed by a guest. 7 . Disorderly Conduct Students at Swarthmore College have the right to express their views, feelings, and beliefs in­ side and outside the classroom and to support causes publicly, including by demonstrations and other means. These freedoms of expression extend so far as conduct does not impinge on the rights of other members of the community or the order­ ly and essential operations o f the College. Dis­ orderly conduct is not permitted. Violation o f the orderly operation o f the C ol­ lege includes but is not limited to (1) excessive noise, noise, once identified, which interferes with classes, College offices, dorm neighbors, or other campus and community activities; (2) unauthorized entry into or occupation of a pri­ vate work area; (3 ) conduct that restricts or prevents faculty or staff from performing their duties; (4) failure to maintain clear passage into or out o f any College building or passage­ way. 8. Violation of Local, State, or Federal Law V iolation o f the laws o f any jurisdiction, whether local, state, federal, or (when on for­ eign study) foreign, may at the discretion of the 57 College Life dean, subject a student to College disciplinary action. A pending appeal o f a conviction shall not affect the application o f this rule. portant element in education. Most students live in College residence halls. New students are required to live in the residence halls. Residence Halls STUDENT JUDICIAL SYSTEM T h e formal judicial system at Swarthmore C ol­ lege has two main components: (1) adjudica­ tion by individual deans of minor infractions of College regulations, where a finding o f guilt would result in a sanction less severe than sus­ pension; and (2 ) adjudication by the C JC of se­ rious infractions o f College regulations, includ­ ing all formal charges o f academic dishonesty, assault, harassment, or sexual misconduct. T h e C JC is composed of faculty, staff, and adminis­ trators who have undergone training for their role. In all cases o f formal adjudication, whether by a dean or by the C JC , the deans will keep records o f the violation(s) and of the sanction(s) imposed on a student. Sanctions are cu­ mulative, increasing in severity for repeat of­ fenders. N otational sanctions are recorded per­ manently on the back o f the students record card but do not appear on the face o f the acad­ em ic record. Therefore, an official transcript of an academic record, which is a copy of the face o f the record card, does not reflect notational sanctions. N on-notational sanctions are not so recorded but are entered into the students per­ sonal file as a separate letter that is destroyed at the time of the student’s graduation. These formal procedures are separate from the various informal methods of conflict resolution available such as facilitated discussion by a dean or other trained facilitators, or mediation, a nonadversarial method o f resolving interper­ sonal disputes. It is important to remember that all possible avenues o f conflict resolution be considered thoroughly when deciding on a course of action. A more complete description o f the judicial system is available from the Office o f the Dean or in the Student H andbook. HOUSING Swarthmore is primarily a residential college, conducted on the assumption that the close as­ sociation o f students and instructors is an im­ 58 Twelve residence halls, ranging in capacity from 21 to 214 students, offer a diversity of housing styles. Several o f the residence halls are a five- to 15-minute walk to the center of campus. Swarthmore’s residence halls are Dana and Hallowell halls; one building on the Mary Lyon School property; Mertz Hall, the gift of Harold and Esther Mertz; Palmer, Pittenger, and Roberts halls on South Chester Road; the upper floors in the wings o f Parrish Hall; W harton Hall, named in honor o f its donor, Joseph W harton, a one-tim e president of the Board o f Managers; W illets Hall, made possible largely by a bequest from Phebe Seaman and named in honor o f her mother and aunts; Woolman House; and W orth Hall, the gift of W illiam P. and J . Sharpies W orth, as a memor­ ial to their parents. About 85 percent of residence hall areas are designated as coeducational housing either by floor, section, or entire building. T h e remain­ ing areas are single-sex housing. Although sin­ gle-sex options are offered, they are not guar­ anteed. Students should no t expect to live in single-sex housing for all four years. In these single-sex sections, students may determine their own visitation hours up to and including 24-hour visitation. First-year students are assigned to rooms by the deans. Efforts are made to follow the prefer­ ences indicated and to accommodate special needs, such as documented disabilities. Other students choose their rooms in an order deter­ mined by lot or by invoking special options— among these are block housing, allowing friends to apply as a group for a section of a par­ ticular hall. There is also the opportunity to re­ side at neighboring Bryn Mawr and Haverford colleges in a cross-campus housing exchange that proceeds on a matched one-for-one basis. First- and second-year students typically reside in one-room doubles, whereas juniors and se­ niors have a wider selection of room types. All students are expected to occupy the rooms to which they are assigned or which they have se­ lected through the regular room choosing process unless authorized by the deans to move. Permission must abo be obtained from the deans to reside outside College housing. Resident assistants, selected from the junior and senior classes, are assigned to each of the residence hall sections. These leaders help create activities for students, serve as support advisers to their hallmates, and help enforce College rules for the comfort and safety of the residents. Residence halls remain open during October, Thanksgiving, and spring breaks but are closed to student occupancy during winter va­ cation. No meals are served during October and spring breaks. A t the end of the fall se­ mester, students are expected to vacate their rooms within 24 hours after their last sched­ uled examinations. Freshmen, sophomores, and juniors are expected to leave immediate­ ly after their last examination in the spring so that their rooms may be prepared for use by commencement visitors. Storage areas are provided in each residence hall plus a limitedaccess storage room for valuables. The insurance program for the College is de­ signed to provide protection for College prop­ erty and does not include the property of stu­ dents or others. Students and their parents are strongly urged to review their insurance pro­ gram in order to be sure that coverage is ex­ tended to include personal effects while at college. More detailed housing rules and regulations are found in the Student H andbook, updated and distributed each year, and in on the hous­ ing Web site. Swarthmore Dining Services AH students living on campus are required to subscribe to the College Board Plan for meals. Students living off campus may purchase the board plan if they wish or a declining balance debit card is available from dining services. There are three meal plans available: the 20meal plan, the 17-meal plan, and the 14-meal plan. First-year students are required to be on the 20-meal plan for their first semester. T hat plan offers 20 meals per week, one meal useable per meal period (breakfast, lunch, and dinner, Monday through Saturday, plus brunch and dinner on Sunday. T h e 17-meal plan provides 17 meals per week (useable one or two meals per meal period) and $65 in de­ clining balance points per semester. T h e 14meal plan allows 14 meals per week (usable one or two meals per meal period) and $125 in declining balance points per semester. Meals are reset every Sunday, and unused meals do not carryover to the following week. Unused points at the end of a semester do not carryover to the next semester, and there are no refunds for unused points. Additional points can be added to any meal plan by visit­ ing the Dining Services Office. Meals can be used at Sharpies Dining Hall or as a meal equivalency at Essie Mae’s Snack Bar in Tarble. Points can be used in any dining services location (Sharpies, Essie Mae’s snack bar, the Kohlberg coffee bar, and the new science cen­ ter coffee bar. Every effort is made to accommodate the di­ etary needs of all students. Vegetarian and vegan options are presented at every meal in Sharpies and the College is also sensitive to food-allergy issues. For example, peanut aller­ gies are handled by keeping the peanut prod­ ucts separate and clearly labeled. Dining Ser­ vices staff and management is always avail­ able for questions and concerns. Please feel free to speak to them directly about any di­ etary concerns. Sharpies Dining Hall is closed during fall, winter, and spring breaks. STUDENT CENTERS Tarble Social Center Through the original generosity of Newton E. Tarble of the Class of 1913 and his widow, Louise A . Tarble, the reconstructed Tarble Social Center in C lothier Memorial opened in April 1986. T h e facility includes a game room, a snack bar, lounge, student activities offices, a multipurpose performance space as well as the bookstore. Under the leadership of a student activities coordinator, student co-directors, and the Social Affairs Committee, major social activities are held in Tarble. Other Centers T he Women’s R esource C en ter (W R C ) is"a space open to all women on campus. It is o r ­ ganized and run by a student board of direc­ tors to bring together women of the commu­ nity with multiple interests and concerns. T h e resources o f the center include a library, 59 College Life kitchen, various meeting spaces, computer, and phone. T h e W R C also sponsors events throughout the year that are open to any mem­ ber of the College community. T he B lack C ultural C en ter (B C C ), located in the Caroline Hadley Robinson House, pro­ vides a library, classroom, computer room, T V lounge, kitchen, all-purpose room, a living room/gallery, two study rooms, and administra­ tive offices. T h e B C C offers programming, ac­ tivities, and resources designed to stimulate and sustain the cultural, intellectual and social growth of Swarthmore’s black students, their organizations and community. Further, the B C C functions as a catalyst for change and support to the College’s effort to achieve plu­ ralism. T h e B C C ’s programs are open to all members o f the College community. T h e B C C is guided by the director, Tim Sams, with the assistance of a committee of black students, faculty, and administrators. See the B C C ’s W eb site at www.swarthmore.edu/admin/bcc/, or contact us at (6 1 0 ) 328-8456. T he Intercultural C en ter (IC ) is a multipurpose center devoted to developing greater awareness o f Asian American, Latino/Hispanic, gay/lesbian/bisexual, and Native American contribu­ tions to Swarthmore College as well as the broader society. T h e IC provides a supportive environment where students are welcome to discuss and understand the educational, politi­ cal, and social concerns th at affect their groups. T h e IC fosters the education of its members and the wider community about cul­ tural, ethnic, class, gender, and sexual orienta­ tion differences. Through co-sponsoring pro­ grams and building alliances with the adminis­ tration, other campus groups and departments, the IC increases diversity and respect for dif­ ferences at all levels of campus life. T h e R e­ source Center will include Asian American, Hispanic/Latino/a, N ative A m erican and queer books, journals, films, videos, scholar­ ships, academic resources and alumni outreach information such as the alumni database, alum­ ni m entor program, and alumni speaker series. T h e 1C center and its programs are coordinat­ ed by Director Rafael Zapata. See the IC Web site a t www.swarthmore.edu/admin/IC, or tele­ phone (6 1 0 ) 328-7360. T h e director, interns, and the administrative assistant are responsible for the center’s pro­ gramming and operational functions. T h e IC is 60 located in the far southern com er of Tarble in Clothier. T h e center is open Monday through Sunday, 8:30 a.m. to midnight. To reach the IC director or any of the three organizations, please call (610) 328-7350. Adjunct centers. There are two fraternities at Swarthmore: Delta Upsilon, affiliated with a national organization, and Phi Om icron Psi, a local association. T h e fraternities are student organizations considered adjuncts to the Col­ lege social program. They receive no College or student activities funds. T h e fraternities maintain separate lodges on campus that they rent from the College. T h e lodges do not con­ tain dormitory accommodations or eating facil­ ities. New members usually join fraternities after at least one semester at the College. In re­ cent years, about 7 percent o f male students have decided to affiliate with one o f the frater­ nities. RELIGIOUS ADVISERS Religious advisers are located in the Interfaith Center in Bond Hall and currently consist of Jewish, Catholic, and Protestant professionals. T h e advisers and the Interfaith Center provide members o f the Swarthmore community op­ portunities and resources, in an atmosphere free from the dynamics o f persuasion, in which they can explore a variety of spiritual, ethical, and moral meanings; pursue religious and cul­ tural identities; and engage in interfaith educa­ tion and dialogue. T h e center comprises of­ fices, a large common worship room, and a pri­ vate meditation room. Student groups of many faiths also exist for the purpose o f studying religious texts, participat­ ing in community service projects, and explor­ ing common concerns of religious faith, spiri­ tuality, and culture. Various services are available on campus, and area religious communities welcome Swarth­ more students. HEALTH Worth Health Center T h e W orth Health Center, a gift o f the Worth family in memory o f W illiam Penn W orth and Caroline Hallowell, houses offices of the nurs­ es, consulting physicians, nutritionist, H IV test counselor, outpatient treatment facilities, of­ fices of the Psychological Services staff, and rooms for students who require inpatient care. Psychological Services is administered sepa­ rately from the Health Service and is housed in the North W ing of W orth H ealth Center. Health and Psychological Services open with the arrival o f the first-year class in the fall and close for the winter break and for the summer following commencement in the spring. Stu­ dents must make their own arrangements for health and psychological care when the W orth Health Center is closed. The College contracts with the Crozer Key­ stone Health System for physician services. Should in-hospital treatment be indicated, one of these consultant physicians will oversee the care if the student is admitted to Crozer Chester Medical Center, a medical schoolaffiliated teaching hospital. Insurance Students may consult the medical facilities of the College when ill or injured in athletic ac­ tivities or otherwise, free o f charge. T h e C ol­ lege cannot assume financial responsibility for medical, surgical, or psychological expenses in­ curred when seeking or referred for care else­ where. For this reason, we expect students to be responsible for these expenses and to be in­ sured through family or other plans. Insurance plans should provide some coverage for pre­ scription medications. For those who have no health insurance or whose insurance does not meet our specifications, we offer a functional yearly plan beginning Aug. 17, 2003, through Aug. 17, 2004. Students receiving financial aid may have a portion of the cost of the premium defrayed. Students and family are responsible for medical expenses incurred while students are enrolled at the College. Students who have no insur­ ance, or students with insurers who have no local office or arrangements with local HMOs, do not provide for emergency and urgent care locally, do not cover hospital admissions local­ ly, or do not provide coverage while studying abroad should enroll in the College Plan. T h e College provides health insurance for students who are actively participating in intercolle­ giate and club sports. For further information, please consult the insurance leaflet mailed to all students at the beginning of each academic year, the W orth H ealth Center administrative assistant, or the trainer. Health Services Physicians and nurse practitioners hold hours every weekday at the College and students may consult them without charge. Students should report any illness to the H ealth Center staff but are free to seek treatment at another facil­ ity if they prefer to do so. Also, the Health Ser­ vice staff members are willing to coordinate care with personal health care providers. As part of the admission process, each student must submit a medical history and health cer­ tificate prepared by a personal or school health care provider. T h e Health Center provides a health certificate in the preadmission packet for your convenience. Pertinent information such as medical or psychological problems, al­ lergies, handicaps, medications will be espe­ cially valuable to the College Health Service when assisting each student. A ll information is kept confidential. Each student is allowed 10 days o f in-patient care without charge in the infirmary each aca­ demic year. Students suffering from communi­ cable disease, such as chicken pox, may not re­ main in their residence hall room and must stay in the infirmary or go home for the dura­ tion of their illness. T h e H ealth Center each academic year dispenses up to $300 in various medications without charge, but we do charge for special medications, contraceptives, immu­ nizations, and certain laboratory tests. Stu­ dents are responsible for securing transporta­ tion to off-campus appointments, although the nurses will assist with arrangements. T h e Health Center staff works closely with the Department of Physical Education and A thlet­ ics. Students who must defer from a portion of the physical education requirement (such as the swim requirement) and those who need ac­ commodations or alterations in academic pro­ gramming must provide medical documenta­ tion to the director of the Health Center, and the dean who works with disabled students. Both will evaluate the request and make a rec­ ommendation for an alternative plan. Psychological Services Services for students include counseling and 61 College Life psychotherapy, after-hours emergency-on-call availability, consultation regarding the use of psychiatric drugs or other concerns, and educa­ tional talks and workshops. Psychological Ser­ vices participates in training resident assistants and provides consultation to staff, faculty, and parents. matter and for assistance with special needs, such as those arising from physical disabilities. T h e staff of Psychological Services comprises a diverse group o f psychological, social work, and psychiatric professionals. T h e director and staff collectively provide regular appointment times Monday through Friday. Students may be re­ ferred to outside mental health practitioners at their request or when long-term or highly spe­ cialized services are needed. Academic Support W e m aintain a strict policy of confidentiality except where there may be an imminent threat o f life or safety. Requests for service may be made in person or by phone (x8059) between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. In the event of an after-hours emergency, contact the Health Center (x8058) or Public Safety (x8333). Information regarding readmission after with­ drawal for health-related reasons may be found in the section o f Student Leaves of Absence, Withdrawal, and Réadmissions (pp. 84-85).

STUDENT ADVISING Academic Advising Each first-year student is assigned to a faculty member or administrator who acts as their aca­ demic adviser. W hen students are accepted by a major, normally at the end o f the sophomore year, the advising responsibility shifts to the chair, or chair’s designate, of the student’s major department. Requests for a change of adviser in the first two years will be freely granted(for example, when a student’s substan­ tive ¡interests change(subject only to equity in the pumber of advisees assigned to individual advisers. T h e deans hold overall responsibility for the advising system. They are available to all stu­ dents for advice on any academic or personal 62 Students who wish to link their interest in so­ cial service and social action to their academic programs are encouraged to take advantage of the advising offered by staff of the Lang Center for C ivic and Social Responsibility. Various forms o f academic support are avail­ able to help all students succeed in their course work. These include a peer Student Academic Mentoring (SA M ) program, tutors, special re­ view sessions and clinics attached to introduc­ tory courses in the natural sciences and eco­ nomics, a mathematics lab, a multiday study skills workshop, and training sessions on topics such as time management, note taking, read­ ing, and test taking. N o fees are required for any o f these services. Particular support is available to help students develop their writing skills. W riting associates (W As) are students who have been specially trained to assist their peers with all stages of the writing process. WAs are assigned on a reg­ ular basis to selected courses, and they are lo­ cated in the Writing C enter in Trotter Hall. A ll students have access to the Writing Center as needed and can receive help via e-mail and on a drop-in basis. Career Services Career Services works to help students develop knowledge of themselves and their life options; to advance their career planning and decision­ making abilities; and to help them develop skills related to their intemship/job search and graduate/professional school admission. Indi­ vidual counseling and group sessions help stu­ dents expand their career options through ex­ ploration o f their values, skills, interests, abili­ ties, and experiences. Developmental programs are available for all students, regardless of their academic discipline. Exploration o f career options is encouraged through summer internships and summer jobs, internships and part-time positions during the school year and opportunities that take place during a semester or year away from campus. Students may receive assistance in research­ ing, locating, and applying for internships and employment opportunities and receive advice in how to gain the most they can from these experiences. Students are particularly encour- aged to test options by participating in the alumni-sponsored Externship Program. This program provides on-site experience in a vari­ ety of career fields by pairing students with an alumnus/a to work on a mutually planned pro­ ject during one week of winter break. Students taking a leave of absence from Swarthmore can participate in the College Venture Program, which assists undergraduates taking time off from school with finding worthwhile employ­ ment during their time away. Additional help is provided through career in­ formation panels, presentations, and confer­ ences; the biannual Student Alumni Network­ ing Dinner; attendance at career fairs; and workshops on topics such as resume and cover letter writing, mentoring, interviewing skills, and intemship/job-search techniques. T h e of­ fice cooperates with Alumni Relations, the Alumni Council, and the Parents Council to put students in touch with a wide network of potential mentors. T h e Career Services library includes many career development publica­ tions, as well as employer directories. T h e of­ fice hosts on-campus recruiting by representa­ tives from business, industry, government, non­ profit organizations, and graduate and profes­ sional schools. T h e Career Services eRecruiting site provides one comprehensive on-line database of internship and job listings, a career events calendar and resume deadlines for em­ ployers recruiting on campus. Students can eas­ ily uplaod resumes to apply for opportunities. Career Services also maintains a W eb site ac­ cessible at http://careerservices.swarthmore.edu to make information about activities and programs available to students wherever they are around the world. Credential files are com­ piled for interested students and alumni to be sent to prospective employers and graduate admissions committees.

COCURRICULAR ACTIVITIES Student Council T h e 13-member, semiannually elected Student Council is the chief body of student govern­ ment and exists to serve and represent the stu­ dents o f Swarthmore College. T h e powers and responsibilities of the Student Council are (1) the administration of the Student Activities Fund; (2) the appointment of students to those committees within the College community upon which student representatives are to serve; (3) the oversight of those students of those committees; (4) the operation of just elections; (5) the execution o f referendums; (6) the representation o f the student body to the faculty, staff, and administration, arid to outside groups, as deemed appropriate; and (7) the formulation of rules needed to exercise these powers and to fulfill these responsibili­ ties. Student Council provides a forum for stu­ dent opinion and is willing to hear and, when judged appropriate, act upon the ideas, griev­ ances, or proposals o f any Swarthmore student. Major committees of the Student Council in­ clude the Appointments Committee, Budget Committee, and Social Affairs Committee. T h e five-member Appointments Committee selects qualified student applicants f o r & s itions on student, faculty, and administration committees. T h e Budget Committee, made up o f 10 appointed members, a treasurer, aria two assistant treasurers, allocates and administers the Student A ctivity Fund. T h e Social Affairs Committee (S A C ) allocates funds to all cam­ pus events, maintains a balanced social calen­ dar, and is responsible for organizing formais 63 College Life and various other activities that are designed to appeal to a variety o f interests and are open to all students free o f charge. S A C consists of 10 appointed members and two co-directors who are hired by the Concessions Committee. Music T h e Music Department administers and staffs several performing organizations. T he C ollege C horus, directed by Joh n Alston, rehearses three hours per week. T he C ollege C ham ber C hoir, a select small chorus drawn from the membership o f the chorus, rehearses an addi­ tional two hours twice a week. T he C ollege O r­ chestra, directed by Daniel A . Wachs, rehearses once a week. T he C ham ber O rchestra gives one concert each semester. Its rehearsals closely precede the concert, and its members are drawn from T h e College Orchestra. T he O r­ chestra (Chamber O rchestra), Chorus (Cham ­ ber C hoir), and Jazz Ensemble require audi­ tions for membership. T he W ind Ensem ble, which rehearses one night weekly and gives two major concerts each year, is under the di­ rection o f Michael Johns. T he B aroque Ensem ­ ble, directed by Richard Stone, meets each week and gives two concerts during the year. G am elan Sem ara Santi performs traditional and modem compositions for Balinese Gamelan (Indonesian percussion orchestra) under the direction of Thomas W hitm an. This group re­ hearses three hours per week and gives one concert each semester. T he Jazz Ensem ble, the department’s large jazz group directed by John A lston, rehearses weekly and gives two con­ certs each year. More information about join ­ ing these performing groups can be found on the bulletin boards on the upper level o f Lang Music Building. Instrumentalists and «singers can also partici­ pate in the chamber music coaching program coordinated by M ichael Johns. Several student chamber music concerts (in which all interest­ ed students have an opportunity to perform) are given each semester. These concerts also provide an opportunity for student composers to have their works performed. T he Sw arthm ore C ollege String Q uartet, com­ posed o f four outstanding student string players who also serve as principal players in the C ol­ lege Orchestra and Chamber Orchestra, per­ forms frequently at the College and elsewhere. W e offer academic credits in conjunction with subsidies to support private instrumental and vocal lessons for qualified students; please refer to p. 89 (Awards and Prizes and Fellowships) and p. 291 (Music Department, M U SI 048). T h e Orchestra each year sponsors a C oncerto C om petition, open to all Swarthmore College students. Auditions for the competition are normally held immediately after winter vaca­ tion. T h e winner performs the entire concerto with the orchestra at its spring concert. Practice and performance facilities in the Lang Music Building include 16 practice rooms (most with at least one piano), a concert and a rehearsal hall (each with its own concert grand), two organs, and one harpsichord. The Daniel Underhill Music Library has excellent collections of scores, books, and records. T h e W illiam J. Cooper Foundation presents a distinguished group o f concerts each year on the campus. T h e Department of Music and Dance administers a separate series of public concerts. O rchestra 2001, an acclaimed professional en­ semble devoted to the performance of contem­ porary music, is in residence at the College. Under the direction o f Professor of Music James Freeman, the group gives an annual se­ ries of four or five concerts in the Lang Concert Hall, exploring music o f the present time and often including recent works by composers at the College. World-renowned soloists are fea­ tured, and student musicians are often invited to perform with the ensemble. Dance T h e Swarthmore College Dance Program, directed by Stephen Lang Professor of Perform­ ing Arts Sharon Friedler, strives to foster a cooperative atmosphere in classes and perfor­ mance situations. T h e Swarthmore College Dancers and the Dance and Drum Ensemble regularly perform public concerts with works choreographed by students, the dance faculty, and other profes­ sional choreographers. Each year, there are a series of formal concerts at the end of each semester as well as informal performances throughout the year, sometimes including a series of exchange concerts with other area colleges. Lecture demonstrations for public schools and for organizations within the surrounding communities are also a regular part o f the yearly dance performance schedule. In conjunction with the W illiam J. Cooper Foundation, the Dance Program brings out­ standing professional dance companies to cam­ pus for short-term residencies. These residencies typically last from three days to two weeks and include master classes, lec­ tures, performances, and, sometimes, the cre­ ation of a new work by a guest artist for student performers. T he residencies funded for 2003— 2004 will include P roject Bandaloop, Jill Sigman, Silvana Cardel, Tamagawa Dance and Taiko Group and Dance Theatre Ludens from Japan. The student organization, Dance Forum, also sponsors classes, workshops, and performances. Scholarships for summer study are available to dance students through funds provided by the Friends of Music and Dance. T h e Halley Jo Stein Award for Dance and the Melvin B. Troy Award for Composition are also awarded annu­ ally by the program. The Physical Education and A thletics Depart­ ment sponsors a class in folk dance. Theater Associate Professor A llen Kuharski is chair of the Theater Department. Interested students should consult the departmental statement for theater. The Theater Department provides a variety of cocurricular opportunities for interested stu­ dents. Students interested in acting are en­ couraged to participate in student-directed projects in the program’s directing workshops taught by A llen Kuharski or Ursula Denzer (THEA 035 and 055) and the Senior Compa­ ny class (TH EA 099). T h e program also hires qualified students every semester for a variety of jobs related to curricular production projects and other functions. T he Lang Performing Arts Center Office is another potential source of theater-related student employment. For infor­ mation, contact Susan Smythe. Professional internships are strongly recom­ mended to theater majors and minors and are available at theaters throughout the Philadel­ phia area and around the country. See pro­ fessors Allen Kuharski or Ursula Denzer for details. In conjunction with the William J. Cooper Foundation, the Department of Theater typi­ cally sponsors various public events, such as performances, workshops, symposia, etc. T he department regularly invites outstanding pro­ fessional companies to campus for short-term residencies of one to two weeks in which pub­ lic performances are combined with intensive workshops with the visiting artists. T h e Drama Board, a student organization, also sponsors classes, workshops, and performances. In the summer, the department makes its facil­ ities available to a variety of professionallyactive alumni for rehearsals and workshops while in residence on the campus. There are a variety of ways for current students to be in­ volved with this work as well. Interested stu­ dents should contact the department chair if interested. Athletics Swarthmore’s athletic policy is based on the premise that any sports program must be justi­ fied by the contributions that it can make to the educational development of the individual student who chooses to participate. In keeping with this fundamental policy, Swarthmore’s athletic program is varied, offering every stu­ dent the opportunity to participate in a wide range o f sports. W ithin the limits o f finance, personnel, and facilities, the College feels that it is desirable to have as many students as pos­ sible competing on its intercollegiate, club, or intramural teams. Many faculty members serve as advisers for several o f the varsity athletic teams. They work closely with the teams, at­ tending practices and many of the scheduled contests. Extracurricular Activities There is a great variety of extracurricular life more fully detailed in the G uide to Student L ife. T h e more than 100 student organizations range in scope from Student C oun cil to Amnesty International to W SR N (the student radio station). Social, athletic, political, cul­ tural, and community groups also provide stu­ dents with a wealth of opportunity and choice. T h e College encourages students to participate in whatever activities best fit their personal talents and inclinations. Publications and Media T he Phoenix, the weekly College newspaper; the H alcyon, the college yearbook; and W SR N , the campus radio station are completely stu­ dent-run organizations. In addition, there are 65 College Life more than 14 other student publications, in­ cluding literary magazines and newsletters. T h e current list of publications can be found in the G uide to Student L ife. PROGRAMS FOR SERVICE, ACTIVISM, AND OUTREACH Eugene M . Lang Center for Civic and Social Responsibility T h e Lang Center is a hub for activities which support Swarthmore’s mission to “help students realize their fullest intellectual and personal potential combined with a deep sense o f ethi­ cal and social concern.” T h e center is located at the foot o f Magill W alk in the Swarthmore Train Station Building. Its five-person staff of­ fers special advising as well as administrative, financial, and logistic support for a wide range of opportunities to make connections between campus and community partners seeking posi­ tive social change. Center staff members work with individual students as well as with orga­ nized student groups and also have important working relationships with the Office o f For­ eign Study and the Office o f Career Planning and Placement. T h e center offers workshops and special programs to prepare students for work in communities as well as to provide op­ portunities for reflection on those experiences, especially in relation to their academic pro­ grams and to their plans for civic engagement after graduation. Center staff also works with members o f the faculty who wish to include community-based learning in their courses and seminars. T h e Lang C enter includes a resource room with extensive information about oppor­ tunities for service and advocacy, staffed by Lang C enter Student Associates. T h e follow­ ing programs are supported and coordinated by the Lang Center: Lang O pportunity Scholarships. Lang Opportuni­ ty Scholarships are awarded to students during their first year at Swarthmore. Scholars are se­ lected based on their commitment and poten­ tial to become leaders in civic and social re­ sponsibility. T h e scholarship includes a sum­ mer internship and a substantial budget for im­ plementation o f a major service project. T h e Lang Center staff works closely with Lang O p­ portunity scholars as they develop and carry out their projects. 66 T he Eugene M . Lang Visiting Professorship for Issues o f S ocial C hange. This professorship was endowed in 1981 by Eugene M. Lang ’38. It brings to the College an outstanding social sci­ entist, political leader, or other suitably quali­ fied person who has achieved professional or occupational prominence. T h e visiting profes­ sor is typically someone who has received spe­ cial recognition for sustained engagement with substantial issues, causes, and programs direct­ ly concerned with social justice, civil liberties, human rights, or democracy. T h e professorship varies in length from one to three years. The Swarthmore Foundation This foundation provides grants to support fac­ ulty, staff and students (including graduating seniors) undertaking projects in community service and social change. Recipients may use awards to create new projects, to purchase ma­ terials for projects in which they participate, and to cover basic living expenses while work­ ing with service or activist organizations. The Foundation also administers the Landis Com­ munity Service Fellowships and the Anderson Community Service Fellowships, both for proj­ ects in Chester, Pa.; and the Nason Communi­ ty Service Fellowships, for service projects linked to students’ academic programs. Sum m er o f Service Internships. SO SI grants sup­ port students who work in service-focused in­ ternships during the summer. T h e grants pro­ vide living expenses as well as a stipend to make it possible for all students (regardless of their financial situation) to participate in these experiences. T h e Lang Center staff provides guidance on the availability of internships and their potential connections to students’ acade­ mic interests. C om m unity-based Learning. T h e Lang Center offers grants to faculty members who wish to add C B L to their courses. T h e grants may be used for summer stipends or to cover the cost of a course replacement to permit a course reduc­ tion for the faculty member. Student Service and A ctivist G roups. These stu­ dent-led groups use Lang Center facilities and also receive guidance from Lang Center staff. Student groups offer service and advocacy in Chester and the Greater Philadelphia metro­ politan area. These groups are active in the areas of housing, education and educational re­ form, employment, health care, homelessness, environmental justice, peace and conflict resolu­ tion, racial justice and economic development. The Swarthmore College TRIO/ Upward Bound Program TRIO/U pward Bound. This program develops young leaders and offers academic and cultural enrichment activities to high school students in the surrounding community, primarily in the city of Chester. T h e primary goal of this na­ tional program is to prepare urban high school students for postsecondary education. The TRIO/Upward Bound Program at Swarth­ more College began in 1964 and continues with federal support from the U .S. Department of Education. More than 1,200 T R IO programs exist on college campuses throughout the United States. TRIO/Upward Bound is one of the oldest and most active community out­ reach programs at Swarthmore College. TRIO/Upward Bound offers both a six-week residential summer school in which Swarth­ more students may serve as tutor/counselors and a series of activities during the academic year in which Swarthmore students serve as tu­ tors. Students have volunteered time to suc­ cessfully tutor and mentor hundreds o f TRIO/ Upward Bound participants for more than 30 years. The program is administered by full-time Project Director C . Kemal Nance. 1882, and to the Alumni Council, the govern­ ing body of the Alumni Association. T h e Alumni Office also gives staff support to re­ gional alumni and parent groups, called C on­ nections, in Boston; Chicago; London; Los Angeles; Metro DC/Baltimore; Metro NYC; North Carolina; Minneapolis and St. Paul; Paris, France; Philadelphia; Pittsburgh; San Francisco; and Seattle. There are 18,922 alumni: 9,718 men, 9,204 women, and 1,248 married to each other, giv­ ing substance to the traditional appellation for the College o f the “Quaker M atchbox.” T h e College defines an alumnus/a as anyone who has completed one semester. COLLEGE PUBLICATIONS T h e Publications Office creates a variety of printed communications for the College com­ munity. T h e quarterly Swarthm ore C ollege Builetin is a magazine sent free of charge to all alumni, parents, friends, and members o f the senior class. O ther publications produced by the office include an annual engagement cal­ endar, a report of donations to the College, a faculty-staff newsletter, and this catalog. Mem­ bers o f the publications staff and a student in­ tern provide editorial, photographic, graphic design, and print production services to other offices on campus. ALUMNI RELATIONS Alumni Relations is the primary communica­ tion link between the College and its alumni, enabling them to maintain an ongoing rela­ tionship with each other. Som e o f the office’s programs and activities include Alumni W eek­ end, an Alumni College, alumni gatherings all over the country, and alumni travel. T h e Alumni Office hires students as interns and to help at alumni events on campus. The Alumni Office works closely with Career Services to facilitate networking between stu­ dents and alumni and among alumni, to take advantage of the invaluable experience repre­ sented among the alumni. T h e Alumni Office also helps officers of the senior class and alum­ ni groups plan special events. The Alumni Office gives staff support to the Alumni Association, which was founded in NEWS AND INFORMATION T h e Office o f News and Information works with the faculty, students, and staff to commu­ nicate information about Swarthmore to the public, primarily through media relations. T he office publicizes campus events, programs, and research and works to position faculty members as expert news sources. T h e office also responds to information requests from the media, initi­ ates coverage of Swarthmore in the media, and leads the development and maintenance o f the College Web site. T h e News and Information Office prepares two publications. On C am pus, a monthly schedule o f campus activities that are open to the public, is distributed on request to more than 3 ,5 0 0 households in the Philadelphia area and are posted on the Web. 67 College Life T he W eekly N ew s, a newsletter o f events and announcements, is also posted electronically each week during the academic year. T h e office lends support for special events and projects and provides public relations counsel for the College. 68 IV Educational Program Faculty Regulations Degree Requirements Awards and Prizes Fellowships 69 Educational Program GENERAL STATEMENT Swarthmore College offers the degree of bach­ elor o f arts and the degree of bachelor of sci­ ence. T h e latter is given only to students who major in engineering. Four years of resident study are normally required for a bachelor’s de­ gree (see p. 87), but variation in this term, par­ ticularly as a result o f Advanced Placement (A P) credit, is possible (see p. 28). T h e selection o f a program will depend on the student’s interests and vocational plans. T he primary purpose o f a liberal arts education, however, is not to provide vocational instruc­ tion, even though it offers the best foundation for one’s future vocation. Its purpose is to help students fulfill their responsibilities as citizens and grow into cultivated and versatile individ­ uals. A liberal education is concerned with the development o f moral, spiritual, and aesthetic values as well as analytical abilities. Further­ more, just as a liberal education is concerned with the cultural inheritance o f the past, so, too, it is intended to develop citizens who will guide societies on a sustainable course where future culture will not be compromised in the development o f the present. Intellectually, it aims to enhance resourcefulness, serious cu­ riosity, open-mindedness, perspective, logical coherence, and insight. During the first half o f their college program, all students are expected to satisfy most, if not all, o f the distribution requirements, to choose their major and minor subjects, and to prepare for advanced work in these subjects by taking certain prerequisites. T h e normal program consists o f four courses each semester, chosen by the student in consultation with his or her faculty adviser. A ll students must fulfill the requirements for the major, and before the end of the senior year, students are required to pass a compre­ hensive examination or its equivalent, given by the major department. T h e program for engineering students follows a similar basic plan, with certain variations ex­ plained on p. 164. Courses outside the techni­ cal fields are distributed over all four years. For honors candidates, courses and seminars taken as preparation for external evaluation occupy approximately one-half of the student’s work during the last two years. In addition to 70 work taken as a part of the Honors Program, the students take other courses that provide opportunities for further exploration. During the senior year, many departments offer a spe­ cially designed senior honors study for honors majors and minors to encourage enhancement and integration of the honors preparations. A t the close of the senior year, candidates for hon­ ors will be evaluated by visiting examiners. T h e freshmen and sophomore course advisers are members o f the faculty appointed by the dean. For juniors and seniors, the advisers are the chairs of their major departments or their representatives. PROGRAM FOR FRESHMEN AND SOPHOMORES T h e major goals o f the first two years of a Swarthmore education are to introduce stu­ dents to a broad range o f intellectual pursuits, to equip them with the analytic and expressive skills required to engage in those pursuits, and to foster a critical stance toward learning and knowing. T h e College distribution require­ ments are designed to aid students in achieving these goals. In spring 2003, the faculty approved several modifications to the distribution requirements that begin in 20 0 3 -2 0 0 4 . W hile the precise de­ tails are not yet finalized, an outline of the new requirements is as follows: ( I ) Beginning in fall 2004, primary distribution courses (PDCs) will be eliminated and writing courses (W s) will be introduced. However, the existing PDC re­ quirement will remain in effect for the 2004 graduating class and a phase-in PDC/W re­ quirement for the classes of 2005 through 2007 will count both PDCs and W s toward fulfill­ ment of the PDC/W component o f the distrib­ ution requirements. (2) Beginning with the class o f 2008, in addition to the W require­ ment, there will be a requirement that one of the courses taken in the Division of Natural Sciences and Engineering must have a labora­ tory component. (3) Finally, the core of the distribution requirements will remain un­ changed for all students. T h at includes the re­ quirements that students complete at least three courses in each of the three divisions, that at least two courses in each division be taken at Swarthmore, that within each divi­ sion courses be in at least two different depart­ ments, and that students are advised to com­ plete at least two courses in each division with­ in the first two years. For the classes of 2005 and beyond, the follow­ ing features apply: PDCs will no longer be available beginning fall 2004, but previously finished PDCs will continue to fulfill the PDC/W requirement; the PDC/W requirement will no longer include that two PDCs be done in different departments within each division; and PDCs or Ws must be completed in at least two divisions. T h e Class o f 2005 must com­ plete at least six PDC or W courses or seminars and those six must include work in at least two divisions. T he Class o f 2006 must complete at least five PDC or W courses or seminars, and those five must include work in at least two di­ visions. The Class o f 2007 must complete at least four PDC or W courses or seminars, and those four must include work in at least two di­ visions. The Class of 2008 and thereafter must complete at least three W courses or seminars and those three must include work in at least two divisions; and students are advised to com ­ plete two Ws in the first two years. As the details of implementation o f the new distribution requirements are finalized, they will be published in a variety of places includ­ ing the registrar’s Web site, www.swarthmore.edu/Admin/registrar. To meet the distribution requirem ents, a student must: 1. Complete at least 20 credits outside the major department before graduation. 2. Take at least 3 credits in each of the three divisions of the College (listed later), which can include A P credit or credit awarded for work done elsewhere. 3. Take at least 2 credits of the 3 credits in each division in different departmental sub­ jects and complete two courses in each divi­ sion at Swarthmore. 4. Complete the PDC, PDC/W, or W require­ ment for the student’s graduating class. Students are advised to complete at least two courses in each division within the first two years. For purposes of the distribution, requirements the three divisions o f the College are consti­ tuted as follows: H um anities: A rt, Classics (literature), English Literature, M odem Languages and Literatures, Music and Dance, Philosophy, Religion, Theater. N atu ral S cien ces an d E ngineering: Biology, Chemistry and Biochemistry, Computer S c i­ ence, Engineering, Mathematics and Statistics, Physics and Astronomy. S ocial S cien ces: Classics (an cien t history), Economics, Education, History, Linguistics, Political Science, Psychology, Sociology and Anthropology. A few courses do not satisfy the divisional distribution requirement. These are identified as such in the catalog or the official schedule of courses. In addition to addressing field-specific sub­ stance, writing courses will focus on the devel­ opment of the students’ expository prose to en­ sure they can discover, reflect upon, organize, and communicate their knowledge in written form. Primary distribution courses place particular emphasis on the mode o f inquiry in a particu­ lar discipline. In teaching students to be selfconscious about how knowledge is generated, these courses seek to develop an appreciation o f both the power and the limits of each disci­ pline within a broader system o f knowledge. In recognition o f the importance o f writing as an integral part o f the learning process in disci­ plines across the curriculum, primary distribu­ tion courses also provide considerable practice in expressing analytic and synthetic thought in writing. Primary distribution courses are in­ tended to be appropriate both for those stu­ dents who continue in a field and for those who do not. To promote discussion, they are restricted to 25 students or have accompanying small laboratories or discussion sections. Courses that count for primary distribution are designated in the departmental listings. T he requirement o f six primary distribution courses must be satisfied by courses taken at Swarth­ more and, with the exception o f literature courses taught in a language other than Eng­ lish, will normally be completed before the stu­ dent enters the junior year. Any course credit in a division (with the ex­ ception of EN G L 001B and music courses num­ bered 0 4 0 -0 5 1 ) counts toward the distribution courses in that division, including A P credit or credit awarded for work done elsewhere. 71 Educational Program Courses that are cross-listed between two de­ partments in different divisions may (with the permission of the instructors, departments, and divisions involved) fulfill the distribution re­ quirement in one o f the following ways: (1) in only one o f the divisions so identified but not in the other; (2 ) in either division (but not both), depending on the departmental listing o f the course on the academic record; (3) in neither o f the divisions. In certain cases, the course may fulfill the distribution requirement according to the nature of the work done in the course by the individual student (i.e., a long paper in one o f the departmental disciplines). T h e distributional status o f such courses is nor­ mally indicated in the catalog description for each course. Students who have been granted credit and ad­ vanced placement in two departments in the same division for work done prior to matricula­ tion at Swarthmore will be exempted from one primary distribution requirement in that divi­ sion on the condition that they take an addi­ tional course in one o f those departments. They will be exempted from both primary dis­ tribution requirements in that division on the condition that they take an additional course in each o f those departments. Students who enter Swarthmore as transfer students with 8 credits of college work will be exempted from one primary distribution requirement in each division. Students who enter Swarthmore with at most four semesters remaining to complete their degree will be exempted from the primary distribution component o f the distribution requirement. It is most desirable that students include in their programs some work in a foreign lan­ guage, beyond the basic language requirement (see p. 87). A student who intends to major in one o f the natural sciences, mathematics, or engineering should take an appropriate mathe­ matics course in the freshman year. Students intending to major in one o f the social sciences should be aware o f the increasing importance of mathematical background for these subjects. In the freshman and sophomore years, all stu­ dents not excused for medical reasons are re­ quired to complete a four-quarter (two semes­ ter) program in physical education. T h e re­ quirements are stated in full on p. 86. 72 Early in the sophomore year, each student should identify two or three subjects as possible majors, paying particular attention to depart­ mental requirements and recommendations. In the spring o f the sophomore year, each student will, with the guidance of his or her adviser, prepare a reasoned plan of study for the last two years. Sophomores who wish to link their in­ terest in social service/social action to their plan of study are also encouraged to take ad­ vantage o f the advising offered by the staff at the Lang Center for C ivic and Social Respon­ sibility. This plan will be submitted to the chair o f the student’s proposed major as a part of the application for a major. A cceptance will be based on the student’s record and an estimate of his or her capacities in the designated major. Students who fail to secure approval of a major may be required to withdraw from the College. Although faculty advisers assist students in preparing their academic programs, students are individually responsible for planning and adhering to programs and for the completion of graduation requirements. Faculty advisers, de­ partment chairs, other faculty members, the deans, and the registrar are available for infor­ mation and advice. PROGRAMS FOR JUNIORS AND SENIORS T h e major goals of the last two years of a Swarthmore education are to engage students with a chosen field o f inquiry and to assist them in assuming an independent role in cre­ ating and synthesizing knowledge within it. T h e breadth o f exposure, acquisition of skills, and development o f a critical stance during the first two years prepare students to pursue these goals. W ith the choice o f a major, the focus shifts from scope to depth. Students become involved for two years with a discrete field of inquiry and demonstrate their mastery o f that field through the completion of courses within the major and courses taken outside the major that serve to expand and deepen the student’s perspective on the major. A ll students are required to include sufficient work in a single department or program (desig­ nated as a “major”) to make an equivalent of at least eight courses before graduation. To complete a departmental major, a student must be accepted as a major and, in addition to the standard eight courses and comprehensive requirement in the major department, must fulfill other specific departmental require­ ments. The requirements for acceptance to de­ partmental majors and for completion of them are specified in this catalog under the respec­ tive departmental listings and are designed to ensure a comprehensive acquaintance with the field. The completion o f two majors is allowed, depending upon the permission o f both depart­ ments of the proposed double major for the stu­ dent. Triple'majoring is not allowed. A student must accumulate 20 course credits outside his or her major, but there is no other limit on the number of courses that a student may take in his or her major. With departmental permission(s), it is possible for a student to plan an individualized special major that includes closely related work in one or more departments. Some areas, such as bio­ chemistry, film and media studies, and psy­ chobiology, in which special majors are done frequently, the departments and programs in­ volved provide recommended programs. These regularized special majors are described in the relevant department sections o f the catalog or in material available from department chairs. A special major is expected to be integral in the sense that it specifies a field o f learning (not necessarily conventional) or topic or problems for sustained inquiry that crosses de­ partmental boundaries, or it may be treated as a subfield within the normal departmental major. Special majors consist o f at least 10 credits and normally of no more than 12 cred­ its. Students with special majors normally com ­ plete a minimum of six courses in the primary department or program, omitting some o f the breadth requirements of the major field. How­ ever, course requirements central to systematic understanding o f the major field will not be waived. Students with special majors must complete the major comprehensive require­ ment, which may consist of a thesis or other written research project(s) designed to inte­ grate the work across departmental boundaries or a comprehensive examination. By exten­ sion, special majors may be formulated as joint majors between two departments, normally with at least 5 credits in each department and 11 in both departments, which, in such pro­ grams, collaborate in advising and in the com­ prehensive examination. Students are not al­ lowed to pursue more than one individualized special major. During the junior and senior years, students are advised by the chair o f the major department (or a member of the department designated by the chair) whose approval must be secured for the choice of courses each semester. MAJORS AND MINORS Students are required to complete one major. Completing a second major or one or two mi­ nors is optional, as is choosing to do an Honors Program. Students are limited in the number of majors and/or minors they may earn. If they have only one major, they may have as many as two minors. Students who choose an honors major plus honors minor may have an addi­ tional course minor outside the Honors Pro­ gram. If students have two majors, they may not have a minor, except in one circumstance: a student who elects honors, designating an honors major and minor, may have a second major outside of honors if that second major is the same subject as the honors minor. Most departments and programs offer course minors. Those departments or programs that do not offer a course minor are Comparative Literature, Economics, Political Science, Soci­ ology and Anthropology, and Studio A rt. (These departments or programs do offer hon­ ors minors.) Minors will include at least 5 cred­ its, 4 of which may not be double-counted with the student’s major or other minor. T h e dou­ ble-counting prohibition applies to any com­ parison of two given programs of study (not three taken together, even if the student has three programs). This means that a student who has a major in medieval studies, for exam­ ple, and minors in both English Literature and women’s studies, would need four courses in English Literature that are not part o f the me­ dieval studies m ajor and four courses in women’s studies that are not part of the me­ dieval studies major. In addition, each minor must have four courses that are not part of the other minor. 73 Educational Program Exceptions a. T h e double-counting prohibition is not ap­ plicable to courses that students are required by their majors or minors to take in other departments. For example, mathematics courses required for an engineering major are not automatically excluded from count­ ing toward a minor defined by the M athe­ matics and Statistics Department. b. For an honors major who is also a double major, the double-counting prohibition does not apply to the relationship between the honors minor and the second major because these will always be in the same field. Thus, an English honors major who is a history honors minor and also a history course major as part of a double major does not violate the prohibition. HONORS PROGRAM T h e Honors Program, initiated in 1922 by President Frank Aydelotte and modified most recently in 1994, is a distinctive part of Swarthmore’s educational life. T h e Honors Program has as its main ingredi­ ents student independence and responsibility in shaping the educational experience; colle­ gial relationships between students and faculty; peer learning; opportunity for reflection on, and integration of, specific preparations; and evaluation by external examiners. Honors work may be carried out in the full range of curricular options, including studio and per­ forming arts, study abroad, and communitybased learning. Students and their professors work in collegial fashion as honors candidates prepare for evalu­ ation by external examiners from other aca­ demic institutions and the professional world. Although Swarthmore faculty grade most of the specific preparations, the awarding o f honorifics on a student’s diploma is solely based on the evaluation o f the external examiners. Preparations for honors are defined by each de­ partment or program and include seminars, theses, independent projects in research as well as in studio and performing arts, and specially designated pairs of courses. In addition, many departments offer their own format for senior honors study, designed to enhance, and where 74 appropriate integrate, the preparations in both major and minor. Each honors candidate’s program will include three preparations for external examination in a major and one in a minor, or four prepara­ tions in a special or interdisciplinary major. Students offering three preparations in a major or four preparations in a special or interdisci­ plinary major will be exempted from compre­ hensive exams in those majors. A student who chooses an honors major plus minor may have a second major outside o f honors if that second major is the same as the honors minor. Honors Program preparations for both majors and minors will be defined by each depart­ ment, program, and interdisciplinary major that sponsors a major. In addition, minors may be defined by any department or program. A ll preparations will be graded by Swarthmore instructors with the exception of theses and other original work. Grades for theses and other similar projects will be given by external examiners. Except in the case of theses or other original work, modes o f assessment by the ex­ ternal examiners will include written exams and/or other written assignments completed in the spring o f the senior year. In addition, dur­ ing honors week at the end of the senior year, every honors candidate will meet on campus with external evaluators for an oral examina­ tion of each preparation. Specific formats for preparations and for senior honors study are available in each department office. Students will normally include their intention to prepare for honors in their “Plan of Study for the Last Two Years,” written in the spring of their sophomore year. They must also submit a formal application for a specific program of honors preparation to the Registrar’s Office. T h e registrar provides a form for this purpose. Departments, programs, and concentrations will make decisions about acceptance of Hon­ ors programs at the end of the sophomore year. Students will be accepted into honors with the proviso that their work continues to be of hon­ ors quality. Students may also apply to enter honors during their junior year. Any proposed changes to the Honors Program must be sub­ mitted for approval on a form provided for this purpose by the registrar. T h e decision of the departments or interdisciplinary programs will depend on the proposed program o f study and the quality o f the student’s previous work as in­ dicated by grades received and on the student’s apparent capacity for assuming the responsibil­ ity of honors candidacy. T h e major department or interdisciplinary program is responsible for the original plan of work and for keeping in touch with the candidate’s progress from semester to semester. Normally, Honors pro­ grams may not be changed after Dec. 1 o f a stu­ dent’s senior year, depending on departmental policies. Students may not withdraw from hon­ ors after Dec. 1 o f the senior year except under extraordinary circumstances and with the per­ mission of the major and minor departments and the Curriculum Committee. Further infor­ mation about honors policies may be found in the Student H andbook o f P olicies and Procedures for the H onors Program , which is available in the Registrar’s Office. At the end of the senior year, the decision of the honors degree to be awarded the candi­ dates is entirely in the hands of the visiting ex­ aminers. Upon their recommendation, success­ ful candidates are awarded the bachelor’s de­ gree with honors, with high honors, or with highest honors. EXCEPTIONS TO THE FOUR-YEAR PROGRAM Although the normal period o f uninterrupted work toward the bachelor of arts and bachelor of science degrees is four years, graduation in three years is freely permitted when a student can take advantage of A P credits, perhaps combining them with extra work by special permission. In such cases, students may qualify for advanced standing— they may become ju­ niors in their second year. To qualify for ad­ vanced standing, a student must (1) do satis­ factory work in the first semester; (2) obtain 14 credits by the end of the first year; (3) intend to complete the degree requirements in three years; and (4) signify this intention when she/he applies for a major by writing a sopho­ more paper during the spring o f the first year. When circumstances warrant, a student may lengthen the continuous route to graduation to five years by carrying fewer courses than the norm of four, although College policy does not permit programs of fewer than 3 credits for de­ gree candidates in their first eight semesters of enrollment. A course load lower than the norm may be appropriate for students who enter Swarthmore lacking some elements o f the usual preparation for college, who have disabil­ ities, or who wish to free time for activities re­ lating to their curricular work, although not done for academic credit. Such five-year pro­ grams are possible in Music and Studio Arts for students who are taking instruction off campus or who wish to pursue studio or instrumental work without full credit but with instruction and critical supervision. However, such pro­ grams are possible only on application to, and selection by, the department concerned, which will look for exceptional accomplishment or promise. In all cases where it is proposed to re­ duce academic credit and lengthen the period before graduation, the College looks particu­ larly to personal circumstances and to careful advising and necessarily charges the regular an­ nual tuition (see the provisions for overloads, p. 30 ). Full-time leaves of absence for a semes­ ter or a year or more are freely permitted and in some cases encouraged, subject also to careful planning and academic advising. Information about work opportunities for those taking a leave is available through the College Venture Program in Career Services. NORMAL COURSE LOAD T h e academic year at Swarthmore is 32 weeks long, during which time students are expected to complete 6 to 8 semester course credits of work. Normal progress toward the degree of bachelor o f arts or bachelor o f science is made by eight semesters’ work of four courses or the equivalent each semester, though the object of progress toward the degree is not the mere accumulation of 32 credits. Students may and frequently do vary this by programs of three or five courses, with special permission. College policy does not permit programs o f fewer than three course credits within the normal eightsemester enrollment. Programs o f more than 5 credits or fewer than 4 credits require special permission (see p. 30 on tuition and p. 83 on registration). T h e definitions of upper-class levels are as fol­ lows: students become sophomores when they have earned 6 to 8 semester course credits to­ ward their degree. Students become juniors 75 Educational Program when they have earned 14 to 16 credits. Stu­ dents become seniors when they have earned 22 to 24 credits. Som e offices on campus, such as the Housing Office, may have additional re­ quirements in their definitions of the student classes. specialized or more sharply focused than is usu­ ally the case in courses or seminars. T he work may range from a course of reading to a specif­ ic research project. Such work is available pri­ marily to juniors and seniors in accordance with their curricular interests and as faculty time permits. Student-Run Cnurses FORMATS OF INSTRUCTION Although classes and seminars are the normal curricular formats at Swarthmore, faculty regu­ lations encourage other modes as well. These include various forms o f individual study, stu­ dent-run courses, and a limited amount of “practical” or off-campus work. T h e principal forms of individual work are attachments to courses, directed reading, and tutorials. T h e faculty regulation on attach­ ments provides that a student may attach to an existing course, with permission o f the instruc­ tor, a project o f additional reading, research, and writing. If this attachm ent is taken con­ currently with the course, it is normally done for 0.5 credit. If it is taken in a later semester (preferably the semester immediately follow­ ing), it may be done for either half or full cred­ it. This kind o f work can be done on either a small-group or individual basis. It is not possi­ ble in all courses, but it is in most, including some introductory courses. For first-year stu­ dents and sophomores, it is a way o f developing capacities for independent work, and for hon­ ors candidates, it is an alternative to seminars as a preparation for papers. Students who de­ cide before the middle of the semester to do a 0.5-credit attachm ent may, with permission, withdraw from a regular course and carry 3.5 credits in that term to be balanced by 4.5 cred­ its in another term. Students may do as many as two attachments each year. Directed Reading and Independent Study Directed reading and independent study are similar, but the faculty role in the former is more bibliographical than pedagogical, and, because they require somewhat less faculty time, opportunities for directed reading are more frequent in most departments than are opportunities for independent study. In both cases, substantial written work and/or written examinations ate considered appropriate, and it is generally desirable that the work be more 76 T h e faculty regulation on student-run courses permits a group of students to propose a topic to an instructor for 0.5 or 1 credit and to run their own course with a reading list approved by the instructor and a final examination or equivalent administered by him or her, but normally with no further involvement of facul­ ty. In organizing such a course, students obtain provisional approval and agreement to serve as course supervisor from a faculty member by Dec. 1 (for the spring semester) or May 1 (for the fall semester) on the basis of an initial memorandum emphasizing the principal sub­ je ct matter to be studied, the questions to be asked about it, the methods o f investigation, and provision of a preliminary bibliography. T h e course is then registered by its organizers with the provost, who has administrative su­ pervision of such work and who may waive the foregoing deadlines to recognize problems in the organization o f such courses. T he course supervisor consults his or her department and, in the case of an interdepartmental course, any other department concerned, whose represen­ tatives together with the provost will decide whether to approve the course. T h e supervisor also reviews the course outline and bibliogra­ phy and qualifications and general eligibility of students proposing to participate in the course. After a student-run course has been found ac­ ceptable by the appropriate department (or de­ partments) and the provost, the course super­ visor’s final approval is due 10 days before the term begins, following which a revised reading list and class list are given to the librarian, and the course title and class list are filed with the registrar. A t the end of the course, the supervi­ sor evaluates and grades the students’ work in the usual way or arranges for an outside exam­ iner to do so. Student-run courses may vary in format and content. In particular, they may be provision­ ally proposed for half credit to run in the first half o f the semester, and at midterm, may be ei­ ther concluded or, if the participants and course supervisor find the work profitable, con­ tinued for the balance o f the term for full cred­ it. Alternatively, student-tun courses may be started after the beginning of the semester (up to midsemester) for 0.5 credit and then be con­ tinued, on the same basis, into the following term. Or they may be taken for half credit over a full term. T h e role o f the course supervisor may exceed that in planning and evaluation outlined earlier and extend to occasional or regular participation. T h e only essentials, and the purpose of the procedures, are sufficient planning and organization of the course to fa­ cilitate focus and penetration. T h e course planning and organization, both analytical and bibliographical, are also regarded as important ends in themselves, to be emphasized in the re­ view of proposals before approval. Up to 4 of the 32 credits required for graduation may be taken in student-run courses. Many studentrun courses are only offered on the credit/nocredit basis. Finally, as to applied or practical work, the College may, under faculty regulations, grant up to 1 course credit for practical work which may be done off campus when it can be shown to lend itself to intellectual analysis and is like­ ly to contribute to a student’s progress in regu­ lar course work. T h e work is subject to four conditions: (1) agreement of an instructor to supervise the project; (2 ) sponsorship by the instructor’s department, and in the case o f an interdisciplinary project, any other department concerned, whose representatives together with the provost will decide whether to grant permission for the applied or practical work be­ fore that work is undertaken; (3) a basis for the project in some prior course work; and (4) nor­ mally, the examination o f pertinent literature and production of a written report as parts of the project. This option is intended to apply to work in which direct experience of the offcampus world or responsible applications of academic learning or imaginative aspects of the practice of an art are the primary elements. Because such work is likely to bear a loose rela­ tion to organized instruction and the regular curriculum, the College limits academic credit for it while recognizing its special importance for some students’ programs. INTERDISCIPLINARY WORK T h e requirements of the major typically leave room for significant flexibility in students’ pro­ grams, both within and outside the major. This may be used to pursue a variety of interests and to emphasize intellectual diversity. It may also be used for the practical integration of individ­ ual programs around interests or principles sup­ plementing the major. T h e College offers in­ terdepartmental majors in Asian studies, me­ dieval studies, and comparative literature, and formal interdisciplinary minors in black stud­ ies, cognitive science, environmental studies, film and media studies, Francophone studies, German studies, interpretation theory, Latin A m erican studies (interdisciplinary m inor only) peace and conflict studies, public policy, and women’s studies. T h e specific require­ ments for these programs are outlined in the relevant sections o f the catalog. It should be recognized that some departments are themselves interdisciplinary in nature and that a considerable number of courses are cross-listed between departments. Also, some courses each year are taught jointly by mem­ bers of two or more departments and depart­ ments commonly recommend or require sup­ porting work for their majors in other depart­ ments. Many other opportunities exist infor­ mally (e.g., in A frican studies, in American studies, in religion and sociology and anthro­ pology, in engineering and social sciences, and in chemical physics). Students are encouraged to seek the advice o f faculty members on such possibilities with respect to their particular interests. Guidelines on Scheduling Conflicts Between Academics and Athletics T h e following guidelines (adopted by the fac­ ulty in May 2002) are affirmed in order to rec­ ognize both the primacy o f the academic mis­ sion at Swarthmore and the importance of the intercollegiate A thletics Program for our stu­ dents. T h e guidelines are meant to offer direc­ tion with an appropriate degree of flexibility. W here conflicts occur, students, faculty, and coaches are encouraged to work out mutually acceptable solutions. Faculty and coaches are also encouraged to communicate with one an­ other about such conflicts. N ote that the guidelines m ake a firm distinction betw een athletics prac­ tices and com petitive contests. 77 Educational Program 1. Regular class attendance is expected of all students. Students who are participating in intercollegiate athletics should not miss a class, seminar, or lab for a practice. attend. W hen a schedule is changed after students have arranged their commitments, it is important for the faculty member or coach to be flexible. 2. Students who have a conflict between an athletics contest and a required academic activity, such as a class meeting or a lecture, should discuss it and try to reach an under­ standing with their coach and their profes­ sor as soon as possible, preferably during the first week o f the semester and certainly in advance o f the conflict. W hen a mutually agreeable understanding is not reached, stu­ dents should be mindful of the primacy of academics at Swarthmore. Students should understand that acceptable arrangements may not be feasible for all classes, particular­ ly seminars and laboratories. 7. Classes will normally end each day by 4 p.m. and at 5 p.m. on Fridays. Seminars will often extend beyond 4 p.m. Afternoon labora­ tories are usually scheduled until 4:15 p.m. or 4:30 p.m., and students who encounter difficulties completing a lab may need to stay later than the scheduled time. In all cases, students are expected to keep to their academic commitments and then attend practices as soon as possible. 3. Students should take their schedule of ath­ letics contests into account as they plan their class schedules and may want to discuss this with their academic advisers. Students should also provide coaches with a copy of their academic schedules and promptly in­ form them o f any changes. 4. Coaches should make every effort to sched­ ule practices and contests to avoid conflict with classes and should collect their stu­ dents’ academic schedules in an effort to coordinate team activities and minimize conflict. Coaches should instruct students not to miss class for practice and should en­ courage students to work out possible con­ flicts between classes and contests as early as possible. 5. Faculty should provide as complete a de­ scription o f scheduling requirements as pos­ sible to their classes early each semester, preferably before registration or during the first week o f classes. B oth faculty and coaches should work with students to re­ solve contest-related conflicts. 6. Both coaches and faculty should avoid lastm inute scheduling changes and faculty should normally avoid scheduling extraordi­ nary class meetings. W here such meetings seem desirable, students should be consulted and as the Faculty H an dbook (p. 61) stipu­ lates, the arrangement cleared with the de­ partment chair and registrar. W here possi­ ble, extraordinary sessions should be volun­ tary or offered with a choice of sections to 78 8. Faculty should recognize that students usu­ ally set aside the time from 4:15 p.m. to 7 p.m. for extracurricular activities and din­ ner. Late afternoon has also traditionally been used for certain courses in the perform­ ing arts. Som e use o f this time for other academic purposes (such as department colloquia, lectures, etc.) is appropriate, but departments are encouraged to exercise re­ straint in such use, particularly with respect to activities they judge important for the full academic participation o f students. HEALTH SCIEHCES ADVISORY PROGRAM T h e function of the Health Sciences Advisory Program is twofold: to advise students interest­ ed in a career in the health professions and to prepare letters of recommendation for profes­ sional schools to which students apply. The let­ ters are based on faculty evaluations requested by the student, the student’s academic record, and nonacademic activities. Students intending to enter a career in the health professions, especially those applying to medical, dental, or veterinary schools, should plan their academic programs carefully to meet the professional schools’ requirements as well as the general College requirements. T he fol­ lowing courses fulfill the basic requirements of most medical schools: BIO L 001, 002; CHEM 010, 022, 032, 038; PH YS 003, 004; MATH 005 and one additional math course; and Eng­ lish, two semester courses. Dental and veteri­ nary schools have more variable requirements, in addition to the biology, chemistry, and physics listed earlier. Students interested in these fields should meet with the health sci­ ences adviser to plan their programs. Specific requirements for each medical, dental, and vet­ erinary school, along with much other useful information, are given in the following publi­ cations, which are available in the Health S c i­ ences Office: M edical School A dm ission Requiremerits, O fficial G uide to D ental Schools, and Vet­ erinary M edical School A dm ission Requirem ents. The work of the junior and senior years may be completed in any major department of the stu­ dent’s choice. A ll required courses should be taken on a graded basis after the first semester of the freshman year. The health sciences adviser meets periodically with students interested in health careers and is available to assist students in planning their programs in cooperation with students’ own academic advisers. T h e Health Sciences Office publishes Guide to Prem edical Studies at Swarthmore C ollege and Frequently A sked Preveterinary Questions to help new students plan their aca­ demic program and understand what schools look for in applicants. T he G uide fo r Applying to Medical School fo r Sw arthm ore U ndergraduates and Alum nilae contains detailed information about the application process. Further information on opportunities, require­ ments, and procedures can be obtained from the health sciences adviser and from the Health S ci­ ences Office’s pages on the Swarthmore College Web site at http://www.swarthmore.edu/admin/health_sciences/. CREATIVE ARTS Work in the creative arts is available both in the curriculum of certain departments and on an extracurricular basis. Interested students should consult the departmental statements in Art, English Literature (including Theater), and Music and Dance. COOPERATION WITH NEIGHBORING INSTITUTIONS With the approval of their faculty adviser and the registrar, students may take a course offered by Bryn Mawr or Haverford College or the University of Pennsylvania without the pay­ ment of extra tuition. Students are expected to know and abide by the academic regulations of the host institution. (This arrangement does not apply to the summer sessions of the Univer­ sity of Pennsylvania and Bryn Mawr College.) Final grades from such courses are recorded on the Swarthmore transcript, but these grades are not included in calculating the Swarthmore grade average required for graduation. STUDENT EXCHANGE PROGRAMS To provide variety and a broadened outlook for interested students, the College has student exchange arrangements with Harvey Mudd College, Middlebury College, Mills College, Pomona College, R ice University, and Tuffs University. Selection is made by a committee of the home institution from among applicants who will be sophomores or juniors at the time of the exchange. W ith each institution, there are a limited and matched number of exchanges. Students settle financially with the home institution, thus re­ taining during the exchange any financial aid for which they are eligible. Exchange arrange­ ments do not permit transfer o f participants to the institution with which the exchange takes place. Credit for domestic exchange is not automatic. Students must follow the procedures for receiv­ ing credit for work done elsewhere, including obtaining preliminary approval o f courses and after-the-fact validation of credit by the rele­ vant Swarthmore department chairs (see “Fac­ ulty Regulations” on pp. 82-86). STUDY ABROAD T h e College emphasizes the importance of study abroad and encourages all students to ex­ plore possibilities for doing so as integral parts of their degree programs. T h e Office for For­ eign Study, and the foreign study adviser, will help all interested students at every stage— planning, study abroad, and return— of the process. To be accepted for credit toward the Swarth- 79 Educational Program more degree, foreign study must meet Swarthmore academic standards. W ith proper planning, this condition normally is readily met. Prop­ er planning begins with seeing the foreign study adviser as early as possible in one’s college career. Credit for study abroad is awarded according to College regulations for accrediting work at other institutions, and the process must be completed within the semester following return to the Col­ lege. T he Swarthmore Program in G renoble, France, in­ augurated in fall 1972. Students entering this pro­ gram spend either one or two semesters at the University of Grenoble, where their course of study is the equivalent of one or two semesters at Swarthmore. This program, under the auspices of the Modem Languages and Literatures Depart­ ment, is open to students from any department but especially those in the humanities and social sciences. Applications from students at other in­ stitutions are accepted places are available. The number of participants is limited to 25. Students are integrated into the academic life at the University o f Grenoble through regular courses, when their language competence allows, or through special courses for foreign students. In­ dividual programs ate arranged to suit the needs and competencies of students. Preparation of ex­ ternal examination papers is possible in certain fields. The program is designed primarily for ju­ niors and second-semester sophomores, but seniors can be accommodated in special cases. A member of the M odem Languages and Lit­ eratures Department acts as resident director. T h e director teaches a course or a seminar, su­ pervises the academic program and the living arrangements of the students, and advises on all educational or personal problems. A coordi­ nator o f the program at Swarthmore handles such matters as admissions to the program (in consultation with the deans), financial aid, transfer of academic credit to departments within the College and to institutions whose students par­ ticipate in the program. Applications for the fall semester must be submitted by March 15 and for the spring semester by Oct. 15. A cadem ic Year in M adrid, Spain. This program is administered by the Rom ance Language De­ partment of Hamilton College, in cooperation with faculty members o f Williams and Swarth­ more colleges. Students may enroll for the full academic year or for either the fell or spring semester. (Credit at Swarthmore must be obtained 80 through the departments concerned.) The pro­ gram attempts to take full advantage of the best fa­ cilities and teaching staff of the Spanish commu­ nity, while adhering to the code of intellectual per­ formance characteristic of the most demanding American institutions. A distinguishing aspect of the program is the indi­ vidual guidance provided students in non-academ­ ic areas, especially in (1) the efforts that are made to find homes well suited for student lodging, and (2) the activities that are planned to ensure ample contact with Spanish students. T h e program is based in Madrid, where the cul­ tural, educational, and geographic benefits are optimal. Classrooms and office space are lo­ cated at the International Institute (Miguel Angel 8, Madrid). T h e institute houses a li­ brary eminently suited for study and research, and it sponsors a series o f lectures, concerts, and social activities. The program is under the general guidance of a committee comprising members of the Hamilton College Department of Romance Languages, who, in rotation with professors from Williams and Swarthmore colleges, serve also as directorsin-residence in Madrid. Applications and further information are avail­ able from the M odem Languages and Litera­ tures Department. In addition to the programs in Grenoble and Madrid, there are a number o f excellent foreign study programs throughout the world. The Office for Foreign Study, along with the acade­ mic departments and programs o f the College, will advise students on this. Information on foreign study programs is available in the Office for Foreign Study. Financial aid may be applied to study abroad, with the approval o f the Office for Foreign Study. For students who are in good academic standing and who plan to attend academically and credit-worthy programs, approval is nor­ mally routine. Study abroad students who wish to receive credit toward the Swarthmore degree for their completed work will pay, for the semester or year abroad, full Swarthmore tuition, room, and board to Swarthmore, and Swarthmore will pay the foreign study programs on their be­ half. Complete information on payment proce­ dures for study abroad is available in the Office for Foreign Study. The Olga Lam kert M em orial Fund. Income from a fund established in 1979 by students o f Olga Lamkert, professor of Russian at Swarthmore College from 1949 to 1956, is available to stu­ dents with demonstrated financial need who wish to attend a Russian summer school pro­ gram in this country or either the Leningrad or Moscow semester programs. Awards based on merit and financial need will be made on the recommendation of the Russian section of the Modem Languages and Literatures Depart­ ment. The Eugene M . W eber M em orial Fund. Income from a fund established in 1986 to honor the memory of Eugene M. Weber, professor of German at Swarthmore College from 1973 to 1986, is available to students with demonstrat­ ed financial need who wish to attend an aca­ demic program in a German-speaking country. Awards based on merit and financial need will be made on the recom m endation o f the German section of the Modem Languages and Literatures Department. STUDENT RIGHT TO KNOW Swarthmore College’s graduation rate is 92 percent (this is the percentage graduating within six years, based on the most recent co­ horts, calculated according to “Student Right to Know” guidelines). 81 Faculty Regulations ATTENDANCE AT CLASSES Regular attendance is expected. Faculty mem­ bers will report to the dean the name o f any student whose repeated absence is in their opinion impairing the student’s work. T h e number of absences allowed in a given course is not specified, a fact that places a heavy respon­ sibility on all students to make sure that their work is not suffering as a result o f absences. First-year students should exercise particular care in this respect. W hen illness necessitates absence from classes, the student should report at once to the Health Center. A student may obtain credit for a course with­ out attending class meetings by reading the material prescribed by a syllabus and taking a final examination, under the following condi­ tions: JL T h e student must signify intent to do so at the time of registration, having obtained the instructor’s approval in advance. 2. If after such registration the student wishes to resume normal class attendance, the in* structor’s approval must be obtained. 3. T h e student may be required to perform such work, in addition to the final examina­ tion, as the instructor deems necessary for adequate evaluation o f his or her performance. 4- T h e registrar will record the final grade ex­ actly as if the student had attended classes normally. GRADES During the year, instructors periodically report to the Dean’s and Registrar’s offices upon the students’ course work. Informal reports during the semester take the form of comments on un­ satisfactory work. A t the end of each semester, formal grades are given in each course either under the credit/rio credit (CR/NC) system, or under the letter system, by which A means ex­ cellent work; B, good work; C , satisfactory work; D, passing but below the average re­ quired for graduation; and N C (no credit), un­ completed or unsatisfactory work. Letter grades may be qualified by pluses and minuses. W sig­ nifies that the student has been permitted to 82 withdraw from the course. X designates a con­ dition that means a student has done unsatis­ factory work in the first half o f a year course but by creditable work during the second half may earn a passing grade for the full course and thereby remove the condition. R is used to des­ ignate an auditor or to indicate cases in which the work o f a foreign student cannot be evalu­ ated because o f deficiencies in English. In Progress IP (in progress) is the grade used when nor­ mally everyone in a class continues working on a project into the next semester. IP is given at the end o f the first semester. Final grades are normally due at the end o f the succeeding semester. Incompletes Inc. means that a student’s work is incomplete with respect to specific assignments or exami­ nations. T h e faculty has voted that a student’s final grade in a course should incorporate a zero for any part of the course not completed by the date of the final examination or the end of the examination period. However, if circum­ stances beyond the student’s control (e.g., ill­ ness, family emergency) preclude the comple­ tion of the work by this date, a grade of Inc. may be assigned with the permission of the fac­ ulty instructor and the registrar. Note that “having too much work to do” is not, in fair­ ness to other students, considered a circum­ stance beyond the student’s control. A form for the purpose o f requesting an incomplete is available from the Registrar’s Office and must be filled out by the student and signed by the faculty instructor and the registrar and re­ turned to the registrar no later than the last day of final examinations. In such cases, incom­ plete work must normally be made up and graded, and the final grade recorded within five weeks after the start o f the following term. Except by special permission of the registrar and the faculty instructor, all grades of Inc. still outstanding after that date will be replaced on the student’s permanent record by NG (no credit). Waiver of this provision by special per­ mission shall in no case extend beyond one year from the time the Inc. grade was incurred. Credit/No Credit T h e only grades recorded on students’ records for courses taken during their first semester of the freshman year are C R and N C. In the bal­ ance of their work at Swarthmore, students may exercise the option to take up to four more courses for credit/no credit by informing the Registrar’s Office within the first two weeks of the term in which the course is taken. U ntil the end of the ninth week o f classes, students may reconsider and opt to receive a formal grade in the course. T his course will count as one of the four optional CR/NC courses. R e­ peated courses normally may not be taken credit/no credit (see later). Courses only of­ fered as credit/no credit do not count in the four optional elections. For first-year students and sophomores, C R will be recorded for work that would earn a grade of straight D or higher. For juniors and seniors, that is, students with at least 16 credits— no t counting Advanced Placement (A P) credits— the minimum equiv­ alent letter grade for C R will be straight C . In­ structors are asked to provide the student and the faculty adviser with evaluation of the stu­ dent’s CR/NC work. T h e evaluation for firstsemester freshmen includes a letter-grade equivalent. For other students, the evaluation may be either a letter-grade equivalent or a comment. Such evaluations are not a part of the student’s grade record. If available, lettergrade equivalents for first-semester freshmen only may be provided to other institutions if requested by the student and absolutely re­ quired by the other institution. Students should save their copies o f these evaluations for their records. Repeated Courses Some courses can be repeated for credit; these are indicated in departmental course descrip­ tions. For other courses, the following rules apply: (1) Permission to repeat a course must be obtained from the Swarthmore instructor teaching the repetition. These courses may not be taken CR/NC. (2 ) To take a course at another school to serve as a repeat of a course previously taken at Swarthmore, permission must be obtained from the chair o f the Swarthmore department in which the original course was taken. T h e department chair must give permission for work done elsewhere as part of the credit and validation process. For repeated courses in which the student withdraws with the notation W, the grade and credit for the previous attempt will stand. For other repeated courses, the registration and grade for the previous attempt will be pre­ served on the permanent record but marked as excluded, and any credit for the previous at­ tempt will be permanently lost. T h e final grade and any credit earned in the repetition are the grade and credit that will be applied to the student’s Swarthmore degree. Grade Reports Grades are available to students on a secure Web site. Paper grade reports are sent to stu­ dents each June. Grade reports are not routinely sent to parents or guardians, but such information may be re­ leased when students request it. Grade Average A C (2.0) average is required in the courses counted for graduation. A n average o f C is in­ terpreted for this purpose as being a numerical average of at least 2.0 (A +, A = 4.0, A - = 3.67, B+ = 3.33, B = 3.0, B- = 2.67, C + = 2.33, C = 2.0, C - = 1.67, D+ = 1.33, D = 1.0, and D- = 0.67). Grades o f CR/NC and grades on the record for work no t taken at Swarthmore College are not included in computing this average. REGISTRATION A ll students are required to register and enroll at the time specified in official announcements and to file programs approved by their faculty advisers. Fines are imposed for late or incom ­ plete registration or enrollment. A regular student is expected to take the pre­ scribed number of courses in each semester. If more than 5 or fewer than 4 credits seem desir­ able, the faculty adviser should be consulted and a petition filed with the registrar. Applications to add or drop a course from reg­ istration must be delivered to the Registrar’s Office within the first two weeks of the semes­ ter. Applications to withdraw from a course and receive the permanent grade notation W must be received no later than the end of the ninth week o f classes or the fifth week o f the course if it meets for only one-half o f the se­ mester. After that time, late withdrawals are recorded on the student’s record with the nota­ tion N C unless the student withdraws from the College. Students do not register for audits. Successfully 83 Faculty Regulations completed audits are recorded (with the nota­ tion R ) at the end o f the semester (except in cases where the student has withdrawn after the first two weeks o f the semester, in which cases the appropriate withdrawal notation stands). A deposit o f $ 1 0 0 is required of all returning students prior to their enrollment in both the spring and fall semesters. T h is deposit is applied to charges for the semester and is not refundable. EXAMINATIONS A ny student who is absent from an examina­ tion that is announced in advance shall be given an exam ination at another hour only by special arrangement with the instructor in charge o f the course. Final Examinations T h e final examination schedule specified in of­ ficial announcements directs the place and time o f all finals unless the instructor has made other special arrangements. However, College policy holds that students with three final ex­ aminations within 24 hours are allowed to reschedule one of these exams in consultation with the instructor, as long as the consultation occurs in a timely manner. By College policy, a student who is not in the Honors Program but who is taking an honors written exam as a course final and has an exam conflict should take the course final exam and postpone the honors written exam until the student’s next free exam period. Conversely, a student in the Honors Program who has a con­ flict with a course final exam takes the honors exam and postpones the course exam in con­ sultation with the professor. In no case may a student take an honors exam before the honors written examination period for that exam. STUDENT LEAVES OF ABSENCE, WITHDRAWAL, AND READMISSION Leaves of Absence Student leaves o f absence are freely permitted provided the request for leave is received by the date of enrollment and the student is in 84 good standing. Students planning a leave of ab­ sence should consult with a dean and complete the necessary form before the deadline pub­ lished each semester (usually Dec. 1 and April 1). T h e form asks students to specify the date o f expected return. Students need only notify the dean o f their return if their return date changes from that originally indicated on the completed form. Withdrawal Withdrawal from the College may occur for academic, disciplinary, health, or personal rea­ sons and may be voluntary or required by the College. For health-related withdrawal, in no case will a student’s mental or physical condition itself be a basis for a required withdrawal. However, when health problems o f a physical or psycho­ logical nature result in behavior that substan­ tially interferes with a student’s academic per­ formance or the educational endeavors of other students or poses a significant threat to the student’s safety or safety o f others, the Col­ lege may require the student to withdraw. The Evaluation Comm ittee, chaired by the associ­ ate dean for academic affairs and comprising the associate dean for student life and the as­ sistant dean/director o f residential life makes the decision to require withdrawal for healthrelated reasons. T h e Evaluation Committee will review the problematic behavior and may consult with the director o f W orth Health Center, the director of Psychological Services, or any other appropriate College official when making its decision. Decisions o f the Evalua­ tion Comm ittee may be appealed to the dean o f the College. Students withdrawing from the College before the end o f the semester normally receive the grade notation “W ” (withdrawal) on their per­ manent record for all in-progress courses. Readmission A student who has withdrawn from the College for any reason, voluntarily or involun­ tarily, may apply for readmission by writing to Robert Gross, dean o f the College. Normally, the College will not accept applications for readmission until a full semester, in addition to the semester in which the student has with­ drawn, has passed. A student applying to the College for readmis­ sion after withdrawal is required to provide ap­ I j propriate documentation of increased ability to fonction academically and in a residential en­ vironment and/or o f a decreased hazard to health and safety of self and/or others. In the case of withdrawal for medical reasons, this documentation must include an evaluation from the student’s personal h ealth care provider. In addition, the student will general­ ly be required to show evidence o f successful social, occupational, and/or academic func­ tioning during the time away from the College. This evidence must include the completion of any outstanding incomplètes on record. o f Holy Cross, Sarah Lawrence, Syracuse University, Vassar C ollege, and W esleyan University, provides work experiences for stu­ dents taking time away from college. Venture jobs are usually full time, paid positions in a va­ riety o f fields including the environment, edu­ cation, business, social change, government, and the arts. Students do not receive academic credit for these work experiences. T h e College Venture coordinator is in the Career Services Office. After such evidence has been provided, the materials will be forwarded to the Evaluation Committee, chaired hy Associate Dean Joy Charlton and including Associate Dean Tedd Goundie and Assistant Dean Myrt Westphal. In the case of health-related withdrawals, the materials will be reviewed by the director of Worth Health Center and/or the director of Psychological Services, and the student will be required to be evaluated in person by the appropriate health care professional at the College. A t the discretion of the Evaluation Committee, such evaluations may be required for other types of withdrawals as appropriate. These evaluations will provide adjunctive in­ formation to the committee’s decision-making process. T he Evaluation Committee will nor­ mally meet with the student and will make a determination regarding the student’s readiness to resume study at Swarthmore. SUMMER SCHOOL WORK AND OTHER WORK DONE ELSEWHERE Short-Term Health-related Absences Students who are hospitalized for a period dur­ ing the semester are subject to the readmission procedures described above before they may re­ turn to campus to resume their studies. In these situations, the Evaluation Committee may also counsel and advise the student about options for how best to approach the remaining acade­ mic work in the semester. In all cases, a student returning to campus from the hospital must re­ port to the Worth Health Center and get clear­ ance from the appropriate health care profes­ sional before returning to the dormitory to en­ sure the student’s readiness to resume college life and so that follow-up care can be discussed. The College Venture Program The College Venture Program, supported by Swarthmore College, Bates College, Brown University, Franklin & Marshall, the College Students who wish to receive Swarthmore College credit for work at another school must obtain preliminary approval and after-the-fact validation by the chair o f the Swarthmore de­ partment or program concerned. Preliminary approval depends on adequate information about the content and instruction o f the work to be undertaken. Preliminary approval is ten­ tative. Final validation of the work for credit depends on evaluation o f the materials of the course, including syllabus transcript, written work, exams, indication of class hours, and so forth. Work in other programs, especially ‘sum­ mer school programs, may sometimes be given less credit than work at Swarthmore, but this will depend on the nature o f the program and the work involved. Validation may include an examination, written or oral, administered at Swarthmore. A ll decisions are made on a caseby-case basis. A n official transcript from the other school must be received by the Office of the Registrar before validated work can be recorded for cred­ it. By College policy, in order for work done elsewhere to be granted Swarthmore College credit, the grade for that work must be the equivalent o f a straight C or better, but a bet­ ter than C grade does not in itself constitute Swarthmore accreditability. Requests for credit must be made within the semester following the term in which the work was done. Credit is lost if a student takes a course at Swarthmore that essentially repeats the work covered by the credit. 85 Faculty Regulations PHYSICAL EDUCATION In the freshman and sophomore years, all nonveteran students not excused for medical rea­ sons are required to complete a four-quarter (two-semester) program in physical education. A ll students must pass a survival swimming test or take up to one-quarter o f swimming in­ struction. (See the departmental statement of the Department o f Physical Education and A thletics.) EXCLUSION FROM COLLEGE T h e College reserves the right to exclude at any time students whose academic standing it regards as unsat isfactory and without assigning any further reason therefore, and neither the College nor any of its officers shall be under any liability whatsoever for such exclusion. 86 Degree Requirements BACHELOR OF ARTS AND RACHELOR OF SCIENCE The degree o f bachelor o f arts or bachelor of science is conferred upon students who have met the following requirements for graduation. The candidate must have: 1. Completed 3 2 equivalent. 8. Completed the physical education require­ ment set forth on p. 86 and in statements of the Physical Education and A thletics De­ partment. 9.

T h e Selection Comm ittee may wholly or par­ tially support the cost of publishing any of these papers. These fellowships are made possi­ ble by an endowment established by Eugene M. Lang ’38. 96 V Courses of Instruction The semester course credit is the unit of credit. One semester course credit is normally equiva­ lent to four semester hours elsewhere. Seminars and colloquia are usually given for 2 credits. A few courses are given for 0.5 credit. Courses are numbered as follows: 001 to 010 Introductory courses Oil to 099 Other courses (Some o f these courses are not open to fresh­ men and sophomores.) 100 to 199 Seminars for upper-class persons and graduate students. Yearlong courses, the numbers for which are joined by a hyphen (e.g., 001-002) must be continued for the entire year. Credit is not given for the first semester’s work only, nor is credit given for the first semester if the student fails the second semester. In cases where credit is not earned for the second half of a yearlong course, the first semester is excluded from counting toward degree credit, although the registration and grade for the first semester remain on the permanent record. Course listings in this catalog are intended to facilitate planning. They represent offerings projected for a two-year period but are subject to change. A better guide to course offerings in any particular semester is the schedule of classes available before enrollment for that semester. FOOTNOTE KEY 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Absent on leave, fall 2003.

T h e A rt Department offers historical, critical, and practical instruction in the visual arts. Courses in art history consider questions hav­ ing to do with the forms, traditions, meanings, and historical contexts o f works o f art and ar­ chitecture. Studio arts courses explore practi­ cal, theoretical processes that arise in the cre­ ation o f objects in various media. dialogue. Because artists raise important ques­ tions about history, society, and identity, major exhibitions offer opportunities for interdiscipli­ nary study and are often co-sponsored by other departments. Located in the Lang Performing Arts Center, the List Gallery’s 1,200-squarefoot facility was made possible, in part, through generous gifts by Vera G . List and by Eugene and Theresa Lang. T h e Phillip Bruno Fine Art Fund supports work with the permanent col­ lection. T h e A nn Trimble Warren Exhibition Fund and the List Gallery Fund support List Gallery exhibitions. List G allery. T h e List Gallery was established to enhance the art curriculum. Each year, the gallery mounts five or six exhibitions of both emerging and nationally known artists. T h e months o f April and May feature a series o f se­ nior thesis exhibitions by art majors, and an Alumni W eekend exhibition takes place in June. Together with the gallery director, the Exhibition Comm ittee selects exhibitions that complement and strengthen the studio arts and art history curriculum. Exhibiting artists come to campus as visiting critics and lecturers, giv­ ing students access to a broad range of media and interpretation. A selection o f works from Swarthmore’s permanent collection can be viewed in the inner room o f the List Gallery. Occasionally, the gallery presents historical ex­ hibitions that offer art history students oppor­ tunities for direct observation and analysis. Both contemporary and historical exhibitions demonstrate excellence in the visual arts and engage the college community in an ongoing D onald Jay G ordon Visiting A rtist; Heilman A rtist. Each year, th e A rt Department invites distinguished artists to the College as the Mar­ jorie Heilman Visiting Lecturer or the Donald Jay Gordon Visiting Artist. T h e work of the in­ vited artist is exhibited in the List Gallery, and while on campus, she or he gives a public lec­ ture, critiques work in the studios, and meets with both majors and nonmajors.

REQUIREMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Prerequisites Most art history courses are offered without prerequisites, though students are strongly en­ couraged to begin with A RTH 001. S T U A 001 is the prerequisite for all studio arts courses, even for seniors. It may be waived only by pre­ senting a portfolio for evaluation. Students are advised that graduate work in art history re­ quires a reading knowledge o f at least German and French. T he A rt Department approves a credit for Advanced Placement, grade 5 in A rt History and Studio Arts (with submission o f a portfolio). Study Abroad The Art Department strongly encourages those with an interest in art to consider incorporat­ ing foreign study— either during a summer or a regular academic term— into their Swarthmore program. Important examples of art and archi­ tecture are scattered throughout the world, and the encounter with works still imbedded in their original context is vital to an understand­ ing of their historical and contemporary signif­ icance. Past experience has shown, however, that art courses in most foreign study programs fell considerably below the academic standards of comparable courses at Swarthmore. To aid students in their attempt to gain Swarthmore credit for study abroad, the A rt Department has established the following guidelines. (1) No request for transfer credit in art history will be considered unless a student has already taken an art history course at Swarthmore be­ fore taking a course abroad. (2 ) Students who are interested in bettering their chances of gaining a full Swarthmore credit for a course taken in a foreign program are advised to at­ tempt to arrange with a Swarthmore professor, before leaving the campus, to write, if neces­ sary, a supplementary research paper as a part of the course. Such papers will be evaluated by the Art Department as part of the process of determining transfer credit. (3) Students inter­ ested in Studio Arts, Design, and Architecture are particularly encouraged to consider the Pitzer College in Parma, Italy, which offers courses at the Istituto dell'Arte Paolo Toschi. A semester of Italian preceding going abroad is well advised. Course Major in Art History A rt History majors are required to take A RTH 001 and A R T H 002, 1 credit in Non-Western A rt, A R T H 098, 5 other credits in art history, and one course in studio arts. T h e 5 elective credits must include ( 1 ) 1 credit in Western art before 1700, (2) 1 credit in Western art after 1700, and (3) one seminar (2 credits). T h e comprehensive consists o f a special essay, com­ pleted in conjunction with A R T H 098 in spring o f the senior year. Course Minor in Art History T h e course minor in A rt History will consist of 5 credits in A rt History, including A R T H 001: Critical Study in the Visual Arts. Four o f the 5 credits must be taken at Swarthmore. Course Major in Art T h e course major in art consists o f four courses in A rt History (including A R T H 001 and A R T H 002) and seven courses in Studio Arts (including courses in drawing, another twodimensional medium, and a three-dimensional medium). T h e comprehensive consists o f a se­ nior exhibition and written artist statement prepared during the fall and spring o f the senior year. Studio Arts facilities are closed during summer and normally during October, winter, and spring holidays. Course Minor in Art Not offered. Majors and Minors in the External Examination Program Students may formulate honors programs as either majors or minors, in either art history or art. For details, consult guidelines available in the department office. ART HISTORY ARTH 001,004,009.

The course approaches drawing as a unique graphic and expressive medium rather than as a preliminary or planning process. T h e course begins from the viewpoint that the expressive and interpre­ tative potential o f drawing can be achieved at the beginning level when knowledge of draw­ ing media and techniques are fused with per­ sonal vision and creativity. T h e course follows a sequence o f studies that introduces students to basic drawing media and compositional ele­ ments through observation of natural and manufactured forms. (This course is a prerequi­ site for all other courses in studio art.) I credit. E ach semester. Staff. STUA 002. Ceramics Sculpture 2 credits. This class comprises a series o f projects using a diverse range o f hand building processes and themes.

T his course is for all levels o f ability and in­ cludes weekly outside drawing problems and a final project. 1 credit. Spring 2004- Exon. T his seminar examines case studies in Euro­ pean and American avant-garde art from the first half o f the 20th century. Major theoretical texts by Poggioli and Bürger will act as a back­ ground for discussions about such artistic movements as cubism, futurism, Die Brücke, Devetsil, dada, surrealism, Russian construc­ tivism, and the Bauhaus. By developing a working understanding o f both historical and conceptual avant-gardes, we will question whether there can be an avant-garde today. Signing a name, going into a trance, collecting dust, shopping in a flea market, dreaming, scribbling, and playing a game— all o f these activities were investigated as methods o f art production by artists associated with Dada and surrealism in the early decades of the 20th cen­ tury. T his seminar examines not only these new modes of making art but also the artists’ political, cultural, and theoretical reasons for developing them. By carefully reading primary and secondary texts, we consider the questions, aims, and desires o f these revolutionary art movements as well as the methods o f art his­ tory that have been conceived to address them. 2 credits.

Landscape Painting Introduction to the technical processes and visual and theoretical concepts o f photography, both as a unique medium and as it relates to other forms of nonphotographic composition. This course explores the vast array o f interpre­ tive approaches, and practical methods avail­ able to the painter interested in landscape. Each student will be introduced to analytical strategies, methods, and techniques that can be used in the field while painting directly from nature. Topics include atmospheric perspec­ tive, linear perspective, viewpoint, composi­ tional structuring through shape and rhythmic manipulation as well as a thorough study of light through changing effects color and tonal­ ity. These topics will be introduced using demonstrations during class (both in the field and outside) and analysis of landscapes from art history. Workshops and presentations by visiting artists will also assist us throughout the semester. Weekly excursions into the land­ scape around the College will be scheduled (this includes the urban, suburban, and rural landscape o f southeastern Pennsylvania). Assignments will be given each week outside o f class to reinforce the methods introduced during the week. T h e primary subject for these works will be the environs o f the College dur­ ing the changing autumnal season. O il paints will be the central medium of the class, and the necessary technical needs will be established. However, design and composition (both picto­ rial and spatial) will be emphasized throughout the semester. Prerequisite: S T U A 001, even for seniors. I credit. Each semester. Meunier. STUA 008.
