LIU BROOKLYN HONORS COLLEGE

The Honors College at LIU was founded in 1965 as one of the nation’s first honors programs. It has achieved national recognition and prepares a select group of diverse and highly gifted students from all majors to solve society’s greatest challenges. Our mission is to foster tolerance, celebrate diversity, and provide students the flexibility necessary to succeed in the workforce of tomorrow. Honors students explore world perspectives through our innovative curriculum that provides research opportunities and cutting-edge interdisciplinary education. Through opportunities outside the classroom, including study-abroad programs, students become accomplished global citizens who are prepared to balance creativity and analytic skill, and become leaders in their respective fields. Honors students enjoy early registration, small classes, interdisciplinary courses not offered through other departments, and a special honors citation on their diploma at graduation along with honors regalia. Honors students also enjoy a dedicated space in the Honors Lounge, where they can take advantage of state-of-the-art computers, quiet study rooms, and space for extracurricular honors activities. Dedicated faculty and staff mentor Honors students into national fellowship and scholarship competitions, while upperclassmen create a community of learning where new students receive peer support and the option of being inducted into several honors societies offering additional scholarships for undergraduate and graduate careers. The Honors College also gives students freedom to design their own interdisciplinary major. Honors College students are encouraged to shape their own education through curricular and extracurricular activities. They may do so by taking a broad range of courses outside their areas of concentration, joining Honors-only study- abroad programs, and dedicated honors mentoring events.

All international students, clinical students, residential students, LIU Global students, and intercollegiate athletes are automatically enrolled in the Plan but can waive participation online at www.gallagherstudent.com/liu if they have comparable coverage under a family plan or other policy. Students who enter during the spring and summer terms can also participate in the plan with shorter coverage period, reduced rates, and specific enrollment/waiver deadlines. Beginning on July 1st, students can go to their MyLIU account and click on the “Student Health Insurance” link from the Student Center Home Page to enroll in the Plan, print ID cards, check claims, or waive coverage. Coverage begins on August 15, which represents the start of the plan year, and extends through August 14. Remember that if you have been automatically enrolled in the plan and wish to waive coverage, you must go online and receive confirmation by the waiver deadlines listed below.

LIU BROOKLYN LIBRARY

Ingrid Wang, Associate Professor Dean of University Libraries 718-488-1680 The LIU Libraries system serves a combined total of over 15,000 students, more than 500 full-time faculty members and over 1,000 part-time faculty across residential and regional campuses. The university’s libraries share many online resources that can be accessed from anywhere at any time via remote access including subscriptions to more than 323,000 online journals; 200 online databases; 240,000 electronic books; and 17,000 files of streaming media. These resources may be accessed via the LIU Brooklyn Library homepage at www.liu.edu/brooklyn-library. Collectively, the libraries house approximately 628,000 print books and more than 15,000 non-print media items. The collections of all LIU libraries are listed in LIUCAT, the library catalog. Books, journal articles and other library materials owned by LIU’s libraries not available at a particular campus can be requested through LIUCAT and supplied via the intralibrary loan service of the LIU libraries. Items not available at LIU libraries can also be requested through interlibrary loan and brought to campus or delivered electronically. In addition, the LIU Libraries system administers the Digital Commons @ LIU, an open access online repository that preserves, promotes, and disseminates the academic work of LIU students and faculty. The LIU Brooklyn Library houses a rich collection of books, periodicals, microforms, audio and videotapes, CDs and DVDs, pamphlets, and other materials in support of the campus’ educational programs. The Reference Collection, Reference Desk and Technical Services departments are situated on the third floor of the Salena Library Learning Center. An information commons, consisting of clusters of computers, provides access to the databases, library catalog, and the Internet. These computers, as well as all other computers in the library, are also equipped with productivity software such as word processing, spreadsheet, and presentation programs. Copies of dissertations and mater's theses may be requested at the Reference Desk. The Periodicals department, with a collection of both print and microform titles, is located on the fourth floor, where digital microform readers and printers are available. The Interibrary Loan, Archives and Special Collections, Rare Book Room, and the Electronic Services department are also located on the fourth floor. Highlights of the Special Collections include Artist Books Collection, the New York African Society for Mutual Relief Collection, Robert C. Weinberg Collection, and the Seawanhaka Student Newspaper Collection. The Circulation Desk, Reserve Collection, and the main book stacks are located on the fifth floor. The Media Center, housing the multimedia collection, media equipment and a group viewing room, is also on the fifth floor, as is the Library’s Cyber Lab. The Cyber Lab, a "green" lab, is equipped with computers that provide access to databases, library catalog, and Internet as well as up-to-date word processing, spreadsheet, presentation and database programs. In addition, the Library’s “smart classrooms” are located on the fifth floor. Photocopying machines are available on all three floors of the Library. The LIU Brooklyn Library is a member of several consortia, which grant both reading and borrowing privileges to LIU students. The Library offers information literacy classes and curriculum-integrated instruction. Library faculty and staff are available to help faculty and students with reference questions and research strategies.

PROFESSIONAL PROGRAM

LIU Pharmacy (The Arnold & Marie Schwartz College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences) offers a Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.) degree program to prepare students for entry-level pharmacy practice. The program consists of two years of preprofessional studies (offered through LIU Brooklyn's Richard L. Conolly College of Liberal Arts and Sciences) and four years of professional studies.

PHARMACY CURRICULUM OUTCOMES ASSESSMENT (PCOA) As of 2016, the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE) requires all colleges of pharmacy to assess students nearing the completion of the didactic curriculum using the Pharmacy Curriculum Outcomes Assessment (PCOA). Results of this assessment are used to gauge whether the curriculum is adequately preparing students to apply the foundational sciences to the provision of patient-centered care. The PCOA is a standardized examination that is designed to assess students’ knowledge of four main content areas (basic biomedical sciences, pharmaceutical sciences, social/behavioral/administrative sciences, and the clinical sciences) and 28 subtopic areas. The exam is developed by the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP) and is administered in a computer-based format in a similar fashion to NAPLEX. Participation in the PCOA is mandatory. Students are required to take the PCOA twice during the professional phase of the PharmD program. The first administration occurs near or at the end of P4. Consider this a “practice” attempt

Students wishing to receive credit for the fulfillment of professional elective requirements for courses outside of those offered as professional electives must seek permission from the Assistant Dean of Academic and Student Affairs in advance of enrolling in such courses. Students are expected to present written statements indicating their reasoning for enrollment in electives other than those offered through the Doctor of Pharmacy degree program. Repeating Courses • Students may repeat any course to improve the grade, no matter what the previous grade. To repeat a course more than once, students must have permission of the Assistant Dean for Academic and Student Affairs. • Any professional course in which a grade of F was earned, must be successfully repeated as soon as the course is offered again (exclusive of summer sessions). • A course in which a grade of C was earned, may be repeated only if all courses in which a grade of F, D, or C- previously earned have been successfully repeated with a grade of C or better. • A required course in the professional curriculum may not be repeated more than twice. Failing a required professional course three times is cause for dismissal. Credit will be earned only once, and the second grade, whether higher or lower, will be computed in the student’s GPA. After the second time a student takes a course, all grades except the first will be computed in the student’s GPA. • The college is not obligated to offer courses that the student has failed in the academic term immediately following the failure. Prerequisites Students are not permitted to register for any professional course unless all science and math and 24 Liberal Arts prerequisites have been successfully completed. Students are responsible for knowing the prerequisites for courses as stated in this bulletin. Students found to be enrolled in a course for which they have not met the prerequisites will be withdrawn from the course regardless of the point in that course where the discovery is made. Students are advised that the lack or the failure of a prerequisite course may significantly impede their academic progress by preventing their enrollment in one or more subsequent courses. Many courses are offered only once a year; hence failure of a course may result in a delay of a year until such course is repeated and the student is authorized to enroll in subsequent courses.

All students attending the university, including matriculants and non-degree students, must show proof of immunity if they wish to register for classes. In addition, New York State requires that LIU Brooklyn maintain a record of each student’s response to the meningococcal disease and vaccine information. The form must be signed by the student and contain either a record of meningitis immunization within the past 10 years OR an acknowledgement of meningococcal disease risk and refusal of meningitis immunization signed by the student.
