Fontbonne University A Catholic University sponsored by The Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet, St. Louis Province
—The seal—
he Fontbonne seal contains elements that are representative of the University and the history of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet, Fontbonne’s sponsoring body. The fleur-de-lis, a French word for lily, is the symbol of the French royal Tfamily. In the Fontbonne seal, the fleur-de-lis symbolizes the French origin of the Sisters of St. Joseph, founded in France in 1650. The six fleurs-de-lis in the seal represent the first six Sisters who came to the United States in 1836. The lily is also the signature of St. Joseph, spouse of the Virgin Mary, foster father of Jesus, and patron saint of the Sisters of St. Joseph. The Latin words, “Virtus et Scientia,” indicate the nature of Fontbonne’s mission and can be translated as “virtue and knowledge,” “valor and erudition,” “religion and scholarship.”

Sabotage is the damaging or impeding of the academic work of another student. Sabotage includes ruining another student’s lab work; destroying another student’s term paper. Aiding and abetting academic dishonesty is knowingly facilitating any act defined above. Violations of academic integrity have a broad impact on the university and will result in university review and action. Faculty who observe violations of academic integrity are asked to report all violations to the office of academic affairs where records of violations will be maintained for five years. University review and action may include tutorials on the appropriate use of materials, academic probation, or expul- sion, depending on the nature of the offense. All procedures for disciplinary action are detailed in the Griffin Scratch and Fontbonne policy manuals.
ASSESSMENT To ensure the continuing quality of a Fontbonne degree, the university regularly collects data on academic programs, advising, student activities, and campus climate. Examples include course evaluations and advising evaluations which all students are expected to complete. Student participation in periodic assessment, such as surveys and achievement tests, is expected and may be required for graduation. Because of the random sampling methods used to identify participants, not all students will be required to participate in the same assessment activities. Along with formal assessments, student work samples from individual classes may also be collected to provide authentic artifacts for internal and external program review. The assessment program is designed to assist faculty, staff,

LOANS Federal Stafford Loan is available to students who have made application for financial aid and are registered at least half time (six credit hours or more) at Fontbonne University each semester. The loan is offered in two different forms or combination of these forms. The first is a Federal Subsidized Stafford Loan based upon need, with the federal government paying the interest. The second is an Unsubsidized Stafford Loan with interest starting within 60 days of check disbursement and provision for the student to elect to defer the interest and add it to the principal amount borrowed. These loans are through a participating bank, savings and loan, or credit union. The maximum amount that can be borrowed is determined by the student’s classification. The remaining balance is usually paid in two installments, at the beginning of the loan period and at the midpoint. Repayment of principal and interest on subsidized loans begins six months after graduation, withdrawal, or registration for less than six credit hours. Prepayment may be made at any time without penalty. Applications are available from the participating lending institution or the financial aid office. Federal Grad Plus is a non-need-based loan. Its availability is based upon a credit check and should only be applied for after eligibility for the Stafford Loan has been determined. The loan limit is the budgeted cost of education minus other financial aid. Origination fees apply. Repayment must begin immediately.
