2007 - 2008 Glenville State College 200 High Street Glenville, WV 26351 304 • 462 • 7361 800 • 924 • 2010 www.glenville.edu Glenville State Purpose The purpose of this catalog is to provide a general description of Glenville State College and its various academic units and to present detailed information regarding the undergraduate curricula. Inasmuch as the educational process necessitates change, the information and educational requirements in this catalog represent a flexible program, which may be altered where such alterations are considered to be in the mutual interests of the College and its students. The provisions of the catalog do not constitute any offer of a contract, which may be accepted by students through registration and enrollment in the College. Glenville State College reserves the right to change without notice any fee, provision, policy, offering or requirement in this catalog and to determine whether a student has satisfactorily met its requirements for admission or graduation. Student Responsibility All academic units establish certain academic requirements that must be met before a degree is granted. Faculty advisors and department chairs are available to help the student understand and meet those requirements; however, the student is responsible for fulfilling them. If, at the end of a student’s course of study, the requirements for graduation have not been satisfied, the degree will not be granted. For this reason, it is important for students to acquaint themselves with all academic requirements and to be responsible for completing all requirements within prescribed deadlines and time limits. Equal Opportunity Policy Glenville State College does not discriminate on the grounds of race, color, national origin, sex, age, or disability in the administration of any of its educational programs, activities, or with respect to admission and employment.
