Student Handbook Has Been Revised Extensively, and Hence I Urge You to Read It Carefully and Keep a Copy Handy 1 MESSAGE FROM THE PROVOST This Student Handbook has been revised extensively, and hence I urge you to read it carefully and keep a copy handy. The Handbook conveys information that is important for all aspects of student life at Tougaloo. Its purpose is to ensure that you know what is required of you to be successful in your academic career. This Handbook outlines how the College ensures student achievement, and the rules, regulations, and procedures that must govern college life. Remember that you are part of a community, and must be mindful of your responsibility to yourself and to your fellow students to make it harmonious. Your top priority as a student should be to excel in academics. Be sure to take full advantage of support services that you might need. The College provides a range of assistance and guidance that are intended to enable you to achieve your potential. Even as you focus on your course of study, I also encourage you to participate fully in extra –curricular activities. Tougaloo’s aim is to develop well-rounded, mature individuals prepared to go out into the world, and hence the College provides opportunities for you to explore your own learning styles, to engage in critical inquiry, to be creative thinkers, and to draw informed conclusions. Tougaloo makes available opportunities for you to excel in your field of endeavor, but the desire to do so has to come from within you. So you must do your part to be an integral part of Tougaloo College and the rich traditions that it embodies. I wish for each of you a wonderful and productive career at Tougaloo College.

  • CBU Student Handbook
    DELIVERY OF INSTRUCTION California Baptist University expects to deliver instruction to its students through its traditional in-person and online formats. By attending the University, students acknowledge this expectation and understand that the University may be compelled to modify course instruction formats due to circumstances or events beyond the University’s reasonable control such as acts of God, acts of government, war, disease, social unrest, and accidents. As such, students attending the University assume the risk that circumstances may arise that mandate the closure of the campus or place restrictions upon the University’s delivery of instruction. By attending the University, each student understands and agrees that they will not be entitled to a refund or price adjustment for the cost of course instruction if their courses are required to be provided in a modified format which the University deems appropriate under such circumstances. 2021-2022 Student Handbook i California Baptist University | 09.24.21 TABLE OF CONTENTS Delivery of Instruction .................................................................................................................................................................................... i Personnel Directory ....................................................................................................................................................................................... ix Administration ..................................................................................................................................................................................................

Sunday, March 8, 2020 3:00 pm (Pictured) Historical Woodworth Chapel, Tougaloo College The Tougaloo College Concert Choir The Tougaloo College Concert Choir, currently under the direction of Professor Karl Twyner, has been in existence for more than 132 years and has maintained a distinguished reputation. The Choir’s repertoire has included standard classical choral pieces by composers such as Bach, Handel, Faure’, Benjamin Britten, Samuel Barber, Randall Thompson, and other notable composers. The choir also specializes in “a cappella’ spiritual arrangements by distinguished African American composers such as Nathaniel Dett, Hall Johnson, Moses Hogan, H.T. Burleigh, Stacey V. Gibbs and many others. The Choir has traveled extensively throughout the Midwest, Southeast, and East Coast of the United States. In 2000, the group performed at the annual concert of the Mississippi Chapter of the American Guild of Organists. The Concert Choir was featured in the world premiere of “Traces of Mississippi,” a work for chorus, orchestra, narrators, and rap artists composed by Ann Le Baron as part of the Continental Harmony Project, which was nationally televised on the American Public Broadcasting Station. The Choir has performed, by invitation, for the Congressional Black Caucus in Washington, D. C. In 2001, the Choir was also invited to the inauguration of the 18th President of Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island, where they performed during the Inaugural Convocation and were featured with the Brown University Orchestra at the Inaugural Concert. In the fall of 2003, the Concert Choir performed with the Orlando Consort of Great Britain in the historic Woodworth Chapel and in 2006 with Fretwork, a violin group also from Great Britain.

In doing so: a Wherever possible agencies should attempt to direct program funds and technical assistance resources towards improving administrative and education infrastructures of historically Black colleges and universities. b In cases where agencies project decreased funding for all higher education institutions, they should strive to increase the percentage share allocated to historically Black colleges and universities consistent with law. c Agencies should continue to eliminate identified unnecessary and irrelevant procedures, prerequisites, and policies to the participation of historically Black colleges and universities in Federal programs and to accelerate activities to single out those policies or regulations which have inhibited full participation in such programs by historically Black colleges and universities. DR 1390-001 January 15, 1985 4 DEFINITIONS Historically Black colleges and universities.
