| Q. What is your policy on Advanced Placement credit or credit from college courses taken in high school? |
| A. Students who seek course credit or advanced placement for college-level work completed during high school should take the appropriate examinations offered by the Advanced Placement Program of the College Entrance Examination Board. Emory & Henry will award credit for a score of 4 or 5 on each AP examination. At the discretion of the appropriate college department, credit may be awarded for a score of 3. Check with the registrar's office for information on credit for college courses. |
 |
| Q. How do you declare a major and when is the deadline to declare? |
A. Each student's major program must be approved by certain college officials. The student has responsibility for seeking such approval through the following steps: - Prepare, with the assistance of the faculty advisor, a program of study which indicates the selection of courses to include a major, a minor or a contextual and support area, and fulfillment of general education requirements.
- Meet with faculty members from the primary discipline to discuss program plans.
- Secure preliminary departmental approval of the program of study during the first semester of the sophomore year, submitting a copy to the Registrar.
Every student is required to have a declared major by the beginning of the junior year and to have an advisor in the major field. The program must be confirmed and signed by the faculty advisor and the college Registrar no later than the last day for course addition in the first semester of the junior year. A student pursuing pre-medical studies, a B.S. degree, or another field with a specified course sequence may need to confirm his or her program at an earlier date. |
|
| Q. What graduate degrees are offered at your institution? |
| A. Currently, four graduate degrees are offered at Emory & Henry College: English/Language Arts (M.A.Ed.), English/Language Arts Reading/Language Arts (M.A.Ed.), Reading Specialist (M.A.Ed.) and American History (M.A.Ed.) These programs are not all offered simultaneously and are for part-time students only. |
|
| Q. How many majors does your institution offer and what is the complete list? |
A. The college offers students more than fifty fields of study. Specific options are frequently referred to as tracks. The tracks are listed below according to the sponsoring department or program, and the course requirements for each option are outlined in the departmental headnotes in a subsequent section of the academic catalog. Any option listed below may be chosen as a major unless denoted as being available only for a contextual and support area, a minor, or a service area. A student whose interests are not met by any of the established majors may apply for an individualized area of concentration, planned in consultation with a faculty advisor.

| Q. Does Emory & Henry College offer a study abroad program? |

Several departments regularly offer intersession or summer courses abroad (for example, art in Italy or biology in Costa Rica).

| Q. Does your institution offer academic services for students with disabilities? |

Admitted students with diagnosed disabilities, who wish to have accommodations made for their disability, should contact the Director of Academic Support Services. Students with diagnosed learning disabilities must submit a copy of their psycho-educational testing results. The results should be dated no earlier than three years before the date of matriculation. Although Emory & Henry does not offer a special program for students with disabilities, reasonable accommodations in regular courses will be permitted based on the specific disability and the recommendations of the consulting doctor. It is the student's responsibility to speak to his or her professors and to the Director of Academic Support Services to arrange for any necessary accommodations that may benefit performance in the student's course work. |

Core requirements must be met in Western Tradition, Great Books, Religion, Ethical Inquiry and Global Studies. Distribution requirements are met by completing one of several courses in the areas of humanities and arts, natural science and social science. |

| Q. I am applying for the fall of 06 when is my application due by? |
A. At Emory & Henry College, we have a rolling admissions process. This means that you can submit an application at any time for admission to E&H. http://www.ehc.edu/admissions/howtoapply.html has everything you need to get you started on the application process.
Another thing to consider is financial aid. Although there is no deadline for financial aid applications at Emory & Henry, we do encourage you and your family to file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) as soon as possible after January 1. The FAFSA is very important for determining your federal financial aid eligibility, not just at Emory & Henry but any college or university to which you may apply.
We also encourage you to visit our campus, if you have not done so. An excellent opportunity to visit is our admissions open house, which takes place on October 22. If that time does not work with your schedule, you can contact the admissions office directly at 1-800-848-5493 to set up a personalized visit. More information about campus visits is available at http://www.ehc.edu/admissions/visit.html. |
