peaceful campus, classes, social activities, thriving organizations and
competitive athletic programs. The spirit of pride, of shared values, of

Mount Olive College apart.
HISTORY OF MOUNT OLIVE COLLEGE
From its beginning, Mount Olive College has been sponsored by the
Convention of Original Free Will Baptists. The institution was
chartered in 1951 and opened in 1952 at Cragmont Assembly, the Free
Will Baptist summer retreat grounds near Black Mountain, under the
direction of the Reverend Lloyd Vernon. The School was called Mount
Allen Junior College, taking its name from the mountain near
Cragmont.
In September 1953, the College was moved to Mount Olive, North
Carolina, nearer the center of denominational strength in the eastern
section of the state. Under the leadership of the Reverend David W.
Hansley, Chairman of the Board of Directors, plans were made to
develop a junior college offering programs in arts and sciences and in
business. The Reverend W. Burkette Raper was elected president in the
summer of 1954, and in September the College began its first collegiate
year with an enrollment of twenty-two students.
In 1955, the name ―Mount Allen Junior College‖ was changed to
―Mount Olive Junior College.‖ In that same year plans were launched
for an enlarged campus which today consists of 138 acres. In
September 1970, the College‘s name was officially changed to Mount
Olive College.
In 1977, the Convention of Original Free Will Baptists requested that
the Board of Trustees of Mount Olive College work aggressively
toward making the College a four-year institution.
The 1979 Session of the Convention endorsed the projected timetable
set by the College Board of Trustees to add the junior year in 1984 and
the senior year in 1985. In 1986, the Commission on Colleges of the
Southern Association of Colleges and Schools officially accredited
Mount Olive College as a four-year institution to award associate and
baccalaureate degrees.

In 1975, the College began an educational program in Goldsboro, NC,
at Seymour Johnson Air Force Base. Since then other locations offering
degree programs have opened in North Carolina: New Bern
(199Wilmington (1995), Research Triangle Park in Durham (1997),
and Washington (2005).
In the fall of 1994, the transfer of all operations to the Mount Olive
College campus was completed, and the College‘s original downtown
campus was sold.
In January 1995, the Board of Trustees selected Dr. J. William Byrd as
the third president of Mount Olive College. Dr. Byrd assumed the
duties of office on January 31 and was inaugurated on September 30.
Dr. Philip Paul Kerstetter became the fourth President. Dr. Kerstetter
was inaugurated on March 19, 2010.

College Covenant
Mount Olive College strives for higher learning, higher standards and
higher values for its board of trustees, administration, faculty, staff, and
students through its commitment to integrating a chosen set of virtues
into all aspects of the College. These virtues illustrate what the College
considers appropriate and necessary for fostering the development of a
healthy, safe, and caring college community. The College community
includes the board, administration, faculty, staff, and students.
Established by the Original Free Will Baptist Church, Mount Olive
College calls for each person in this community to demonstrate the
virtues modeled by Jesus Christ who taught that the demands of the
gospel could be summarized in one word: love…Love the Lord thy God
with all thy heart…soul…mind and…strength; love thy neighbor as
thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these (Mark
12:30–31). The New Testament word for love is agape which has been
defined as sacrificial love and the desire for the highest well being of
Mount Olive College
13
13
other persons. This kind of love provides the conceptual framework for
the discussion of the virtues that persons in this community are called
to manifest. The virtues are described below:
Honesty and Trustworthiness: People who are honest tell the whole
truth to people who have the right to know the truth, which includes
telling the truth about issues that people may be unaware exist, but
which directly affect them. They do not shade the truth, withhold parts
of the truth, or remain silent when others are misrepresenting the truth.
People who are trustworthy keep promises, commitments, and
confidences, and are steadfast in their honesty, support, and loyalty.
Justice and Courage: People who are just are fair in their interaction
with others, treating them in ways that they themselves expect to be
treated and are advocates for those who are not being treated justly.
They do not place others at a disadvantage by harassing, intimidating,
cheating, stealing, damaging their reputation or property, or in any
other way deprive others of their rights to free speech, privacy, equal
opportunity, and due process. Courageous people have a moral
compass that they carry with them in all situations and follow it even
when it costs them dearly. They do not rationalize their lack of courage
by assuring themselves they cannot correct the situation or it is not their
responsibility to do so.
Responsibility and Gratitude: People who are responsible accept full
accountability for all of their behavior, including mistakes and
wrongdoing, and do all in their power to undo any harm their behaviors
have caused. They do not shirk opportunities to admit their mistakes by
making excuses, blaming others, or diminishing the gravity of their
mistakes. People who have gratitude acknowledge the help and support
they receive from others and demonstrate their thankfulness in clear
and meaningful ways. They do not ignore the help they receive from
others, forget to acknowledge it or feel that they somehow deserve the
help, and hence experience no need to express gratitude.
Caring and Respect: Caring people are sensitive to the material,
psychological, and spiritual needs of others, and are willing to make
sacrifices to help others meet those needs, whether these individuals are
friends or disenfranchised people. They do not assume a self-centered
or permissive attitude, which frees them to concentrate on their own
welfare and ignore that of everyone else. People who are respectful
behave in a way that is appropriate for their environment including
physical location, people and situation, and they are good stewards of
our community. Respectable behavior mandates decent etiquette and
quality of character.

In summary, the board of trustees, administration, faculty, staff, and
students at Mount Olive College recognize the importance of Christian
values and high standards of education. While people come to this
college from many backgrounds, each person who chooses to be a part
of this community is expected to strive for these high standards.
Code of Conduct
The expectations of Mount Olive College are that students will be
responsible, mature members of the College community and, therefore,
will abide by the rules and regulations of the College in academics and
residence life.
Students accepting the offer of admission and matriculation to Mount
Olive College assume the obligation of conducting themselves in a
manner compatible with the College as an educational institution and
agree to abide by all published regulations governing the student body.
Minimal regulations are necessary to ensure respect for basic individual
rights and the welfare of the community. The College acknowledges
and respects the rights of each student, but the College is not a
sanctuary from the law.
As a part of its mission, Mount Olive College has formulated a Code of
Conduct (Student Code). The College believes that its proper role is to
offer educational opportunities in a Christian atmosphere, with such
opportunities to include the personal growth of students. The College
community, therefore, promotes the development of responsible social
attitudes. Students are expected to become familiar with and adhere to
the College and Residence Hall standards for student conduct.
Furthermore, students are responsible for their own actions, and those
who violate the Code of Conduct will be subject to disciplinary action.
Details of the Code of Conduct, sanctions for violations, and the due
process procedures are printed in the Student Handbook, which is
published by and available at the Office of Student Development.
Athletics—Varsity The College is a member of the NCAA and
competes at the Division II level in the Conference Carolinas in men‘s
baseball, basketball, volleyball, cross country, golf, soccer, track &
field, and tennis, and in women‘s basketball, cross country, soccer,
softball, tennis, track & field, golf, and volleyball. Athletics offices are
located in Kornegay Arena.
Counseling
Counseling is available to students, depending on need. Personal,
emotional, and psychological counseling is available through the
Campus Minister and a certified counselor in the Office of Student
Affairs.

Dining Services
Dining services are available in Mount Olive at the Lois K. Murphy
Regional Center throughout the year while College programs are in
session. Dining services are offered on a schedule and by special
arrangements. For resident students, meal plans are available and billed
with tuition and room fees. For other students, staff and faculty, food
service is available on a la Carte, pay-as-you-go-basis, or by purchase
of a special meal plan.
Health Services
Health services offered by the College include limited diagnosis and
treatment, administration of selected immunizations, consultation and
referral services, health education, and counseling. A health center is
operated at the Mount Olive location during scheduled hours.
Hospitalization and other medical services are offered off campus. For
resident students and students enrolling in physical education courses, a
medical history and physical examination form provided by the College
must be completed and filed with the Director of Health Services prior
to registration. The Center is located in the Pope Wellness Center.
Residence Life
The Residence Life program at Mount Olive College strives to provide
a living, learning environment for students housed in five facilities: a
men‘s residence hall, a women‘s residence complex, suite living for
men and women, and an apartment complex for upperclassmen. All
students are required to reside on campus for their first four semesters
of full-time enrollment unless 1) they are 21 years of age or older, 2)
living with a parent or legal guardian, or 3) married and/or responsible
for dependents.
Entering transfer students must have at least four semesters of full-time
matriculation and at least 48 credit hours earned at an accredited
college or university to be exempt from this requirement.
If a student believes he/she has a compelling reason to be exempt from
this policy, he/she may make an appeal to the Vice President for
Student Development. It is the student‘s responsibility to make the
appeal in writing and to supply all necessary documentation to support
the appeal. Students who live off campus without approval may be
charged for on campus housing.
Publications
Publications are designed and printed by the College to provide
information, promote programs, and serve as forums. The Office of
Mount Olive College
16
16
Public Affairs provides guidelines for College publications and is the
point of contact between the College and the media.
Campus Safety
Security ensures the safety of students, staff, and faculty. Mount Olive
College is committed to providing a safe and secure environment for all
personnel and students on its premises to the fullest extent possible.
Security depends on compliance with rules and regulations by all
personnel, reporting unsafe or suspicious circumstances, and vigilance
by resident adviser staff and campus safety personnel. The Office of
Student Affairs also maintains a close working relationship with local
police and law enforcement agencies. More information about security
is found in the current Student Handbook.
Student Handbook
A Student Handbook is published by the Office of Student Affairs each
year and made available to students. It covers in greater detail and
supersedes this section of the catalog on matters pertaining to student
services and programs, student procedures and guidelines, student
conduct and disciplinary procedures, and information about residence
life, recognition, publications, clubs and organizations, student
government, and security. Mount Olive College students are strongly
encouraged to secure a copy of the Student Handbook, be familiar with
its contents, and maintain a copy for reference.

Academic Policies
Separations, Withdrawals, and Drops
NOTE: In the sections that follow, the term ―separation‖ means to
leave the College; the term ―withdraw‖ means to leave a specified
program of courses while continuing enrollment in non-program
coursework, such as electives; the term ―drop‖ means to leave a
specified course prior to the drop penalty deadline.
Withdrawal from a Program of Study Mount Olive Location:
To withdraw from a nontraditional program, a student must begin the
withdrawal process through the academic advisor.
Goldsboro Location: To withdraw, a student must complete the
withdrawal form at the Mount Olive College Office, Base Education
Center at Seymour Johnson Air Force Base.

with the assistance of the director or academic advisor.
Mount Olive College

Effect of Withdrawal on Grades
A student withdrawing from a modular program should be aware that
academic credit would be given only for modules completed by the
date of the withdrawal. A grade of W will be given only if a student
withdraws before class three of a five-week module.
Effect of Withdrawal on Financial Assistance
Students who wish to withdraw from a program in modular format may
wish to consult with the Financial Aid Office and the Business Office
about their particular situation prior to initiating the withdrawal process
at any location. Withdrawal from a modular program may affect any
applicable refund and financial aid. A student enrolled in a modular
program who withdraws may jeopardize all or a portion of financial aid
eligibility because of mandated billing dates, refund policies, and other
factors. A nontraditional student enrolled in a modular program who is
administratively withdrawn will follow the voluntary withdrawal
policy.
The institutional refund policy and the federal and state refund policy
apply when a student withdraws. For example, if a student who has
received federal financial assistance withdraws, the College is required
to use a formula developed by the U.S. Department of Education to
determine if any portion of the federal assistance should be refunded to
the federal programs. State and institutional programs may also be
subject to the refund required by the U.S. Department of Education.
Any refund from the College to the U.S. Department of Education, to
the State of North Carolina, or to the College‘s institutional scholarship
programs will increase the student‘s outstanding balance by a
corresponding amount of money.
Separation from the College
To receive a transcript of honorable dismissal, a student who separates
from the College before the end of a semester or term must complete
the separation procedure at the location where enrolled. Traditional
students must visit the office of the registrar to initiate the process.
Return of Funds as a Result of Separation Policy
As a result of a separation from the College, a student‘s financial aid
will be reviewed in accordance with requirements established by the
Department of Education. This policy explains how federal, state and
institutional funds are handled when a recipient of those funds
separates from Mount Olive College. This policy reflects changes in the
Higher Education Amendments of 1998.
Students who voluntarily separate from the College after having
arranged for an orderly separation through the Office of the Registrar
Mount Olive College
30
30
may be entitled to the reduction/adjustment in charges of tuition and
room based on guidelines set forth by the U.S. Department of
Education and/or Mount Olive College.
This policy applies to students who receive Title IV and any other
financial aid and voluntarily terminate enrollment or stop attending
classes before completing at least 60 percent of the enrollment period.
Return of funds is determined according to the following policy:
 The term ―Title IV Funds‖ refers to the federal financial
program authorized under the Higher Education Act of 1965
(as amended) and includes the following programs: Stafford
Loans, Federal Perkins Loans, Federal PLUS Loans, Federal
PELL Grants and Federal SEOG, Federal Academic
Competitiveness Grant (ACG) and Federal SMART Grant.

A student‘s separation date is: The date the student began the
institution‘s separation process or date student otherwise
provided ―official‖ notice, or if student did not notify the
school, midpoint in the period of enrollment (semester or other
academic term); or the date of student‘s last attendance at an
academically related activity.

Title IV aid is earned in a prorated manner on a per diem basis
on the academic calendar up to the 60 percent point of the
semester. Title IV aid is viewed as 100 percent earned after
that point. Non-Title IV aid (state and institutional) will only
be returned to the appropriate agency in order to prevent an
over-award or a change in eligibility.

Tuition charges will be prorated for any separation prior to the
60 percent point. Board charges will be refunded on a prorated
basis from the date of separation. Room charges and activity
fees will NOT be prorated and will be billed to the student at
100 percent regardless of the separation date.

In accordance with federal regulations, financial aid refunds
are allocated in the following order: unsubsidized Stafford
loans, subsidized Stafford loans, Federal Perkins loans,
Federal PLUS loans, Federal Pell Grants, Federal SEOG, other
Title IV assistance, other federal sources of aid, other state,
private and institutional aid and finally, the student.
Mount Olive College
31
31

Institutional responsibilities include: Providing each student
with the information given in this policy, identify students
who are affected by this policy and completing the return of
Title IV funds calculation for those students in a timely
manner; returning any Title IV Funds that are due to the Title
IV programs. The Student responsibilities in regard to the
return of Title IV funds include: returning to the Title IV
program (via the student‘s college account) any funds that
were distributed directly to the student and which the student
was determined to be eligible for via the return of Title IV
funds calculation; the student will be responsible for the
amount the student owes to the Title IV programs, and any
amount due to the College as a result of the return of Title IV,
state and institutional program funds used to cover Mount
Olive College charges.
Return of Title IV funds for programs offered in Modules

A Module is defined as a course or group of courses in a
program that does not span the entire length of the payment
period (semester). Modular classes include classes in the nontraditional evening programs, classes at Seymour Johnson Air
Force Base and online classes offered in the A, B, C format.

Mount Olive College will track enrollment in each module to
determine if a student began enrollment in all scheduled
courses. If a student officially drops courses in a later module
while still attending a current module, the student is not
considered as withdrawn based on not attending the later
module. However, a recalculation of aid based on a change in
enrollment status may still be required.

If a student in modular classes provides written confirmation
to a school at the time of ceasing attendance that the student
plans to attend another course later in the semester, the student
is not considered to have withdrawn if the next schedule class
the student is to attend begins within 45 days of the last class
the student attended.
Mount Olive College
32
32

If a student does not provide written confirmation of plans to
return to school later in the same semester, the student will be
considered withdrawn and a return of Title IV funds will be
complete to determine if funds must be returned.
A student who is involuntarily separated as a result of suspension or
expulsion from the College for disciplinary reasons shall NOT be
entitled to any refund of tuition and fees regardless of the separation
date. Any student separated from college housing for disciplinary
reasons shall NOT be entitled to a refund of room and related charges
regardless of separation date. Board charges shall be refunded on a
prorated basis from the date of separation.
The fees, procedures, and policies listed above supersede those
published previously and are subject to change at any time.

unregistered vehicle is $30. A fine of $15 will be levied for
parking in undesignated areas, but that fine is $250 for parking
illegally in a handicapped space.
Terms of Payment:
All tuition and fees for the entire semester are due at the time of
registration subject to Financial Aid awards. Any account balance
not paid as specified may be assessed interest. Accounts must be
clear with the Business Office in order to register for subsequent
semesters. Situations that deserve special consideration should be
discussed with the location‘s Student Accounts Counselor or in the
Business Office at Mount Olive prior to the first day of class.
Students are considered officially enrolled only after their accounts
are clear. Conversely, grades, transcripts, and diplomas are not
considered earned, will not be released, and remain in the sole
possession of the College until accounts are paid in full.
International students must pay all charges in US dollars by August
1 for the fall semester and by December 15 for the spring semester.
Refunds for Overpayment of Accounts:
Student refunds may be requested by e-mailing the location‘s
Student Accounts Counselor after payments on accounts exceed
charges for the semester, resulting in a credit balance. Refunds will
not be issued based on anticipated credits for the semester. See the
Student Accounts page on www.MOC.edu for further details.

FINANCIAL AID
Financial Aid Philosophy
Mount Olive College believes that every worthy and capable student
should have an opportunity to obtain a college education. Financial aid
helps individuals who would not be able to attend college without such
aid. Three types of financial assistance are available to students:
 Scholarships and grants—Money that does not have to be
repaid.

Work Study—Part-time, on-campus or off-campus jobs.

Loans—Money that must be repaid with interest, usually after
completion of the educational program.
Several financial aid programs are available for each type of assistance.
The College awards financial assistance on two bases: (1) demonstrated
need and (2) exceptional merit in certain areas, including academics,
athletics, music, and art.
The student aid program is administered according to the nationally
accepted policy that a student and his/her family have the primary
obligation for financing a student‘s education. Therefore, Mount Olive
College asks that each family contribute what they can reasonably
afford.
An understanding of the following basic financial aid vocabulary will
help a student recognize the opportunity and the responsibility for
which he/she contracts.
Cost of Education
The ―Student Budget‖ is the minimum amount of money necessary for
a student to be provided with housing, food, transportation, personal
expenses, and college tuition and fees for a specific period of time.
Financial Need
Financial need is the difference between the cost of education and the
amount of assistance that can be reasonably expected from a student
and his/her family. Determination of financial need is made using
guidelines established by the Department of Education. The cost of
education is updated annually and includes tuition, room and board;
and estimated allowances for books, transportation, and miscellaneous
personal expenses.
Mount Olive College

Need Analysis
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is used to
determine what the family can contribute toward educational expenses.
The form should be submitted in January of each year and may be
acquired from a guidance counselor, financial aid administrator, or
online at www.fafsa.ed.gov.
Package of Aid
In awarding aid, the Financial Aid Office endeavors to construct a
financial assistance package to meet the needs of each qualified
applicant.
This package may consist of one type of aid or any combination of the
various types: grant, loan, and/or work. Federal loans, grants and work
study, and some state grants are awarded on the basis of need only,
whereas many college-generated and local awards are based on merit
only.
Enrollment Status per Semester
Financial aid is awarded and disbursed based on the enrollment status.
 Full-time: 12 hours+
 Three-quarter-time: 9–11 hours
 Half-time: 6–8 hours
 Less than half-time: 1–5 hours
Student Loans
Student loans are funds that must be repaid with interest after
completion of the educational program or when a student ceases to
attend at least half time. Information about student loans and
requirements for repayment can be found on the Mount Olive College
website at www.moc.edu. A student must be enrolled at least half-time
to be considered for most loans.
Application for Financial Aid
By completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA),
a student may apply for Pell Grant and all resources available at Mount
Olive College. The results of the application should be sent to Mount
Olive College by listing our Title IV school code, which is 002949.
Applications normally take about three to four weeks to process. For
maximum consideration, all forms should be completed between
January 1 and March 15 for the upcoming academic year. Applications
completed after this date are accepted but will be considered in
accordance with fund availability. More detailed instructions are
available with the applications, which may be obtained from the
Financial Aid Office or online at www.fafsa.ed.gov. Staff members of
Mount Olive College

the Financial Aid Office may provide assistance in completing the
application.
Federal and State Assistance Programs
All programs listed are available for the first Bachelor‘s Degree unless
otherwise specified.
 Federal Pell Grant—Once a FAFSA is completed, the
student‘s EFC (Expected Family Contribution) is used to
calculate the Federal Pell Grant. The amount of this grant
varies to a maximum of $5,550 per academic year.

Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant
(FSEOG)—determined by the results of the FAFSA. FSEOG
is a need-based fund that the Financial Aid Office at Mount
Olive College awards. The fund is very limited and will be
awarded according to financial need and availability of funds
in amounts up to $1,000 per academic year. Priority must be
given to Federal Pell Grant recipients.

Federal Perkins Loan—Loans of up to $5,000 per academic
year for eligible students. This fund is very limited. Priority
will be given to students that are eligible for the PELL Grant.
The interest rate is 5% fixed, and repayment will begin nine
months after the student ceases attending.

North Carolina Legislative Tuition Grant (NCLTG)—requires
that the student complete a NCLTG/SCSF application. This
grant is available only to students that are North Carolina
residents. Students cannot receive this grant if they have
completed another degree at the same level. The amount of
this grant is approximately $1800 per academic year. This
grant is available to full-time and three-quarter time students.
All NC Grants are dependent on funding appropriations.

NC State Contractual Scholarship Fund (SCSF)—Requires
that the student complete a NCLTG/SCSF application. This
grant is available only to students that are North Carolina
residents. This grant will be awarded by the Mount Olive
College Financial Aid Office in amounts up to $2,000 per
academic year based on the student‘s need. All NC Grants are
dependent on funding appropriations.

NC Education Lottery Scholarship (NCELS)—FAFSA must
be completed. This grant is available only to students who are
North Carolina residents. The state will determine which
students are eligible. The amount of this grant will vary based
Mount Olive College
40
40
on EFC and is awarded in amounts up to $3,500 per academic
year. All NC Grants are dependent on funding appropriations.

Federal Direct Stafford Loan (Subsidized)—This loan is based
on need and is awarded in amounts from $3,500 to $5,500 per
academic year based on the grade level of the student. A
FAFSA must be completed for this loan. Repayment of the
loan will begin six months after the student ceases attending at
least half time. The Federal government pays the interest on
this loan while the student is in school and during the
deferment period. A student must be enrolled at least half-time
to receive this loan.

Federal Direct Stafford Loan (Unsubsidized)—This loan is not
based on need and is awarded in amounts from $2,000 to
$7,000 per academic year based on the grade level of the
student. A FAFSA must be completed for this loan.
Repayment of the loan will begin six months after the student
ceases attending at least half time. The student is responsible
for the interest on this loan while the student is in school and
during the deferment period. A student must be enrolled at
least half-time to receive this loan.

Federal Direct PLUS Loan for parents—This loan is based on
the creditworthiness of the parent applying. The total amount
of the loan will vary, but can be as high as the cost of
attendance minus any financial aid the student is receiving.
Alternative loans are available if necessary. Please contact the
Mount Olive College Financial Aid Office for more
information.

NOTE: Institutional aid is not available at all locations.
A student enrolled in a modular program that withdraws from their
program or drops out of a particular module may jeopardize all or a
portion of their financial aid eligibility because of mandated billing
dates, refund policies, and other factors.
College Assistance Programs for Traditional Students

in part, by grants from the James E. and Mary Zealy Bryan Foundation
since 1960 and the James M. Johnston Trust for Charitable and

cumulative grade point average as a freshman and at least a 3.2
cumulative grade point average as a sophomore, junior, and senior with
no failing grade at any time; completes at least 30 semester hours each
academic year; and participates in the activities of the teacher education
program, including active membership in the Prospective Teachers

Herring Opportunity Fund Scholarships
Herring Scholarships are available to students who are Mount Olive or
Duplin County residents attending the traditional program at Mount
Olive. Students must also file a Free Application for Federal Student
Aid (FAFSA). The amount of this scholarship varies.
Grants for Ministerial Students
Licensed or ordained ministers enrolling in the traditional program are
eligible to receive a grant package up to 90 percent off tuition charges
if they are licensed or ordained through the Convention of OFWB. For
OFWB licensed or ordained ministers enrolled in the accelerated
Modular Religion Major program, the scholarship can be up to $4,500
for the program.
Since established by the Convention of Original Free Will Baptists in
1951, Mount Olive College has given priority to assisting students
preparing for the Christian ministry. We are committed to insuring that
each worthy and qualified student is provided an opportunity for a
Christian education through a combination of scholarships, grants and
loans.
The Admissions staff, with the assistance of the Religion Department,
will identify qualified students and awards will be made at the time of
initial packaging. These funds will be disbursed to the student’s
account after the application and the recommendation form have
been completed and returned to the Financial Aid Office.
In order to be considered for this grant, recipients must maintain
Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) and will be required to file the
Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Information about
the SAP policy is available in the catalog under ―Academic Progress
Policy for Financial Aid‖. All financial aid for which the student
qualifies must be applied to the College‘s portion of the grant
(excluding loans). The student will be responsible for the remaining
charges and any other expenses. Self-help aid (such as loans and workstudy) may be used to pay for these additional charges.
In addition to completing the FAFSA, applicants must also complete
the Ministerial Benefit Application. Applicants will also be required to
provide a letter of endorsement from their home church. Ministerial
Benefit applications may be obtained from the Office of Financial Aid,
Office of Admissions, the Campus Minister, or the Religion
Department.

Free Will Baptist Tuition Grant
The FWB Tuition Grant is awarded to full-time students who are
admitted into the traditional program at Mount Olive College and are
members of an OFWB congregation that supports the Convention of
Original Free Will Baptists. These scholarships are awarded annually to
qualified OFWB Church members who want an opportunity to attend
their own College. Scholarships are based on church membership.
Scholarships are renewable each year based on maintaining satisfactory
academic progress (SAP) and completion of a service project. The
scholarship is $3,000 annually but may be reduced to prevent an overaward (based on federal financial aid regulations).
The Admissions staff, with the assistance of designated OFWB/MOC
officials, will identify qualified students. The awards will be made at
the time of initial packaging. However, these funds will not be
disbursed to the student‘s account until the application and the
recommendation form have been completed and returned to the
Financial Aid Office. Additionally, students are required to complete
the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) each year.
Applications may be obtained from the Office of Financial Aid, Office
of Admissions, or the Campus Minister.

Department of Veterans Affairs
Mount Olive College is approved by the State of North Carolina for the
enrollment of students who may be eligible to receive veteran‘s
benefits. The Mount Olive College Veterans Affairs Office serves as a
liaison between Mount Olive College student veterans and dependents
and the Department of Veterans Affairs. The office assists students
with the processing of VA forms for the DVA educational benefits,
advise students about certain procedural requirements, and certify
enrollment of veterans and dependents to the DVA.
New students attending Mount Olive College MUST have the
following information on file in the Registrar‘s Office prior to
certification:
 Certificate of Eligibility

All official transcripts and a Declaration of Major form on file
in the Registrar‘s Office. High School transcripts are only
required for applicants with less than 24 semester hours of
transferable credit.
Once all official documentation has been verified and the student has
enrolled in classes, they must contact the Veterans Affairs Certifying
Official at their designated location in order to request VA
Certification. A student‘s entitlement is based on VA regulations.
Mount Olive College
45
45
For the visiting student, a letter from the student‘s parent institution
must be on file in the Registrar‘s Office verifying that the classes taken
at Mount Olive College will be transferable to the parent institution
before the certification can be processed. The student must contact the
Veterans Affairs Certifying Official at their designated location in order
to request VA Certification.
To provide uninterrupted service of veteran‘s benefits, students MUST
stay in contact their VA Certifying Official at their location, either by
phone, email or in person. The VA Certifying Official closely monitors
each veteran‘s enrollment status, attendance, and academic
programming according to DVA guidelines.
Students must report all schedule changes immediately to the VA
Certifying Official within five days to avoid an overpayment of
benefits or interruption of future benefits.
Additional information is available from the VA Certifying Official at
Mount Olive College-Registrar‘s Office or the Regional Veterans
Administration Office, 1700 Clairmont Rd., Decatur, GA 30033; or
(888) GIBILL-1/(888) 442-4551.
Satisfactory Academic Progress for Financial Aid
To receive Title IV Federal Financial aid, State aid or Institutional aid
at Mount Olive College, students must be in good academic standing
and must be making Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP). Federal
Title IV aid includes Federal Pell Grant, Federal Perkins Loan, Federal
Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant, Federal Work Study,
Federal Direct Stafford Loan and Federal Direct PLUS Loan. The NC
State Contractual Fund and NC Education Lottery Scholarship and
institutional aid are also subject to the SAP requirements stated.
Satisfactory Academic Progress will be evaluated at the end of each
term and the minimum required standards must be met for students to
continue receiving Federal, State or Institutional aid. All SAP policies
must include two components, a minimum Grade Point Average (GPA)
and Pace. Pace is the successful completion of a percentage of all
attempted courses. The evaluation of both the GPA and the Pace
component are cumulative and will include all hours attempted at
Mount Olive College as well as those hours transferred from other
institutions.
GPA requirements:
0-26 total credit hours
1.6
27-59 total credit hours
1.8
60 total credit hours and up 2.0
Mount Olive College
46
46
Please note that transfer credit hours count in the total number of hours
when determining which tier of the GPA requirements a student must
meet.
Pace requirement:
To continue to receive aid at Mount Olive College students must be
progressing towards degree completion at a Pace which allows them to
complete their degree within the federally mandated 150% timeframe,
meaning that students in a four year degree program must complete
their degree within six years. To meet this requirement students at
Mount Olive College must successfully complete no less than 75% of
the cumulative hours attempted at Mount Olive College plus any
transfer credits.
Hours attempted at Mount Olive College include any class from which
students withdraw, hours associated with grades of incomplete or for
classes that students repeat.
Students who were previously meeting the SAP requirements (or had
no academic record at Mount Olive College) who are not making SAP
(either component or both) at the end of a term will be placed on a
Financial Aid Warning. A financial aid warning will allow students a
single semester in which to improve upon their grades and achieve the
minimum SAP standard.
If after one semester of being on Financial Aid Warning students are
still not meeting the minimum required standard, students can file an
appeal with the Financial Aid office to have their aid reinstated in
certain circumstances. An appeal can be filed on the basis of the death
of a relative or a student injury or illness. The appeal must include why
the student failed to meet the SAP requirements and what has changed
that will allow the student to demonstrate SAP progress at the end of
the next evaluation period. Appeals are to be submitted to the Director
of Financial Aid by email.
Students not wishing to appeal, or whose appeal is denied, can attend at
their own expense. Once students are again meeting the minimum
requirements of the SAP policy, their aid can be reinstated.
Students whose appeal is approved will be put on Financial Aid
Probation and have their aid eligibility reinstated for a single semester.
During the Financial Aid Probation semester, students will be required
to seek assistance from the Student Success Center (or the Director of
the location the student is attending).
Students can be placed on a Financial Aid Warning a maximum of
three times during their academic career at Mount Olive College. If
after a third Financial Aid Warning students again fall below the
minimum required SAP standards, they will lose eligibility for Federal
Title IV, State and Institutional aid.
Students can be placed on Financial Aid Probation a maximum of three
times during their academic career at Mount Olive College. If after a
third Financial Aid Probation students again fall below the minimum
Mount Olive College
47
47
required SAP standards, they will lose eligibility for Federal Title IV,
State and Institutional aid. Further appeals will not be allowed.
Students may be placed on Academic Warning or Academic Probation.
These academic statuses are completely separate from the Financial
Aid Warning and Financial Aid Probation. Students in these academic
statuses may be eligible to receive financial aid, including Title IV aid,
if they are making Satisfactory Academic Progress.
Financial Aid Appeal Policy: All Programs
A student will always have the right to appeal. A student may appeal
the termination of Title IV aid by requesting, in writing, a review of
his/her case by the Financial Aid Committee. The written request must
explain why the student did not meet the minimum standards for GPA
and or Pace. The appeal may be used ONLY with the death of a
relative, personal injury or illness. The Committee will review all the
facts of the case, document the decision reached, and notify the student
of the decision in a timely manner. All written requests should be made
to the Director of Financial Aid via email. If an appeal is granted, the
student must seek the assistance of the Teaching and Learning Center
(TLC).

ACADEMIC SERVICES, POLICIES, PROCEDURES
Advisement and Orientation
Mount Olive College views student advisement as developmental and
integrates the resources of the College community to help students
become self-directed, lifelong learners. The advising process helps
students to identify and clarify life goals, to develop a realistic and
successful educational program, and to plan for their careers. Every
student is assigned an advisor, who maintains weekly office hours for
routine conferences with students.
Spring or Summer Orientation
All traditional freshmen must attend a one-day summer orientation
session, focusing on the Freshman Advising Program that includes
learning about academic policies, student services, and religious life on
campus.
The Freshman Advising Program includes course placement and
registration. Placement in mathematics is determined by high school
grades, selection in math courses, and a student‘s SAT (or ACT) math
scores. Placement in English composition is based on high school
grades, selection of English courses, and SAT Verbal (or ACT) English
scores. Honors program students will be placed into HON 100, which
gives credit for English Composition.
Fall Orientation
Traditional freshmen must participate in a two-day fall orientation
program in August that helps them make the transition into a new
environment and provides opportunities to consider academic and
career goals. This is also the beginning of Freshman Seminar and is
mandatory.
Early Alert
All students are monitored for signs of needing help through the Early
Alert System. This system allows faculty and staff to notify the
appropriate individuals if concerns arise in academics, attendance,
behaviors and personality.
Transfer Orientation
Transfer students entering in the fall or spring must attend an
orientation meeting to become acquainted with College personnel,
faculty, and other students; to learn about academic support services
and facilities; and to receive assistance with course schedules and
registration.
Mount Olive College

Orientation Courses
ADV 112 Freshman Seminar (2 sh) is a traditional student college
orientation course required of first-time, full-time freshmen. The course
introduces students to college resources and requirements. Course
activities develop college success skills and a better understanding of
the purpose and the values of higher education. ADV 112 includes
critical thinking, study skills, note taking, time management, career
planning, and interpersonal relationships.
ADV 113 (1 sh) Student Success Seminar:
Major and Career Exploration:
S
ADV 113 will provide developmental and academic topics to provide
knowledge and resources for students to make rational decisions about
majors and introduce elements of the career planning process. Students
will participate in writing activities, discussions, events, learning style
inventories, networking, overview of college majors, and assessment
tools. This course is designed for students who have not declared a
major.
ADV 114 (1 sh) Student Success Seminar: Study Skills:
S
ADV 114 is designed for first year students with academic difficulties
after their first semester. The course is mandatory for those students on
academic probation or academic hold and strongly encouraged for
those students on Early Alert. Through class activities, individual
meetings with the instructor, and assigned writing, students identify
reasons for their academic difficulties and learn new habits and
attitudes for achieving academic success. The instructor will monitor
the students‘ progress and attendance in all classes. The goal of the
course is to assist students to return to good academic standing by the
conclusion of the semester.
Student Success Center
The Career Center
The Mount Olive College Career Center assists students in activities
focusing on career and personal goals. Students are encouraged to
attend Career Center workshops, to work with the Career Center to
assess their interests and strengths, and to take advantage of career
planning services.
The Career Center assists students in assessing their interests, strengths,
and goals in the exploration of occupational fields and occupational
outlook. Awareness of interests, skills, values, and occupational
information is necessary to make academic and career decisions.
Mount Olive College
57
57
Self-assessment instruments such as the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator
and the Strong Interest Inventory are available to aid in career
exploration. Assistance is available regarding resume preparation,
interviewing, networking, salaries, and related issues. The Career
Center recommends and schedules mock interviews for students.
Two annual job fairs are held where students may participate in
interviews with employers. The College is a member of the Eastern
North Carolina Career Alliance consortium, which sponsors an annual
job fair in Raleigh, North Carolina.
An annual Career Fair is held in Kornegay Arena to give students the
opportunity to discuss careers and occupational information with
employer representatives from business, industry, government, and
education.
Resume writing and successful interviewing workshops are held during
the academic year. Career panels feature alumni and community
professionals.
Students may register with the Career Center and have online access to
the Job Network, Job Database, and the Career Center‘s Mentoring
Network. They may also post online resumes.
The Teaching and Learning Center
The Teaching and Learning Center (TLC) provides a variety of
academic support for Mount Olive College students, faculty, and staff.
The goal of these free services is to enable, engage, and encourage
students in their academic endeavors and to help students become
independent and successful learners.
The TLC provides free individual and small group tutoring in a variety
of disciplines. Qualified peer tutors will discuss a student‘s strengths
and weaknesses and provide suggestions, additional practice,
reinforcement, and study tips related to the discipline or assignment.
The TLC offers assistance with various study skills, learning strategies,
and transition issues. TLC mentors are upperclassmen who provide
knowledge, experience, and patience to help students adapt to the
demands of a college environment. Writing, grammar, and study skills
workshops are offered periodically to help students further develop
these skills through participation, self-assessment, and helpful
strategies and materials.
Mount Olive College

Transfer of Credit
Mount Olive College will consider credits from these sources:
Mount Olive College
61
61
1.
An institution accredited as degree-granting by a recognized
post-secondary regional accrediting body at the time the coursework
was completed.
2.
Non-collegiate settings, which are recognized by the
American Council of Education. Work must parallel courses taught at
Mount Olive College.
3.
An articulation agreement where an entire body of courses are
preset for acceptance for degree completion.
Credits from foreign institutions of higher education will be evaluated
on an individual basis. Transcripts must be translated into English prior
to being evaluated. Students are required to complete an application for
evaluation. The evaluation will identify each credential, provide the US
equivalent, and show US credit and equivalent grades for each subject
beyond the secondary level. The cost of evaluation service is
approximately $100 and is the responsibility of the student applicant.
Applicants should contact the Admissions or Registrar‘s Office for
information.
Students who have completed the Associate of Applied Science degree
may transfer up to 64 semester hours toward the Bachelor of Applied
Science degree. Technical program credits earned by students wishing
to complete the BA/BS Degree will be evaluated on an individual basis.
All transfer work from accredited institutions must represent college
level coursework with grades of A-C. Up to two D‘s in elective courses
may be transferred from an institution where a 2.00 grade point average
was achieved.
Course credits validated by acceptable scores on CLEP/DANTES
examination, credit by examination, and formal professional or military
training recognized by the American Council on Education may be
transferred. Credit is awarded only in areas offered within the current
curriculum of the College and must be appropriately related to the
student‘s educational program.
Since course hours but not grades are eligible for transfer, transfer
credits will not be computed in determining grade point average,
eligibility for continuous enrollment, or academic honors.
A currently enrolled student must receive written approval from the
Registrar prior to enrolling in a course at another accredited institution
if the intent is to transfer the credit to Mount Olive College. Usually,
Mount Olive College
62
62
students will not receive this permission if the course or a similar
course is available at Mount Olive College. Students on academic
probation will not receive approval to take courses at another
institution. The College reserves the right to refuse transfer credits if a
student has not received approval prior to enrolling in courses at
another institution.
A maximum of 64 semester hours, including health and physical
education, may be transferred from an accredited two-year institution.
A maximum of 94 semester hours may be transferred from an
accredited four-year institution. A combined maximum of 64 semester
hours from two-year institutions and 30 semester hours from four-year
institutions may be transferred to Mount Olive College.
To continue enrollment, a transfer student must submit any required
transcripts from high school, college or university by the end of the
initial semester of enrollment for traditional students at Mount Olive
College at Mount Olive, by the end of the second term of enrollment at
Mount Olive College at Goldsboro, and by the end of Module 1 for
students enrolled in modular programs at any location.
Classification of Students
Students are classified according to the number of semester hours of
credit earned.
 Freshman: 0–26 semester hours
 Sophomore: 27–59 semester hours
 Junior: 60–91 semester hours
 Senior: 92 and above
Academic Standing, Warning, Probation, Exclusion, Readmission
A student must be in good academic standing at the end of each
semester. To receive financial aid from the federal programs, a student
must be in good academic standing and must successfully complete a
specified number of credit hours each semester. Good academic
standing, defined as making satisfactory progress toward a degree, is
determined by a student‘s grade point average for semester and for
cumulative work. Minimum satisfactory progress towards a degree
(baccalaureate or associate) means achieving the cumulative grade
point average outlined below. Note: transfer credit will count in total
semester hours attempted when determining good academic standing.
Total Semester
Hours Attempted
0–26
27–59
Minimum Cumulative
Grade Point Average
1.6
1.8
Mount Olive College
63
63
60 & above
2.0
Grade point average is computed by dividing the total number of grade
points earned at Mount Olive College by the total number of semester
hours attempted at the College.
A student may be placed on the following:
 Academic Warning (GPA falls below a 2.0)
 Academic Probation (GPA falls below the ―good academic
standing‖ minimum)
 Academic Continued Probation (GPA falls below the ―good
academic standing‖ minimum but has shown progress after
being on academic probation)
 Academic Separation (No improvement after being on
academic probation or continued academic probation)
At the end of any semester, a student who does not meet minimum
grade point requirements may be separated from the College for a
period of at least one semester. Students on academic probation at the
end of spring semester will be advised to attend summer school at
Mount Olive College. Students may not receive permission to take
courses at another institution for transfer credit at Mount Olive College,
since grade point average is computed only on work at Mount Olive
College.
A student may be required to withdraw from a course at any time if, in
the judgment of the Vice President of Academic Affairs, continuation
in the subject is resulting in no advantage to the student or in harm to
others. A student may appeal this decision to a review committee
composed of the Vice President for Academic Affairs, the Vice
President for Student Development, the Registrar, and a faculty
member who taught the student during the semester.
Academically separated students are not eligible for readmission until
after at least one regular term. Permission for readmission after
academic separation requires approval of the Vice President for
Academic Affairs. A student who has been separated from the College
for any reason must make application for readmission. Application
forms for readmission are available from the Office of Admission.
Attendance Policy
All faculty members are required to keep attendance records through
Moodle for all classes in all forms of delivery.
In cases of personal illness, family emergency or approved
representation of the College at an event, a student may request an
Mount Olive College
64
64
excused absence. The instructor may require written justification and
verification for an excused absence. Approval of an absence as excused
is at the discretion of the faculty member. An absence for any reason
does not lessen a student‘s responsibility to meet the requirements of
the course. The instructor has the authority to lower the course grade
because of a student‘s lack of attendance unless otherwise stated in the
course syllabus.
NOTE: Veterans Administration regulations concerning class
attendance, conduct, and rate of progress are in effect at the College.
Withdrawal from or unsatisfactory completion of courses may result in
termination of veterans‘ benefits and may require return of previously
awarded benefits for that term of enrollment. All students eligible for
veteran‘s benefits should familiarize themselves with the College‘s
policies on attendance and academic eligibility for continuous
enrollment.
Every Mount Olive College syllabus explains the course attendance
policy. Classes may be dropped up to midway through the course with
a W. Due to different class meetings, the policy will take into account
the length of class contact.
Dropping a Course
A student must drop the course during the first week of class to have it
removed from their transcript. A drop form is available from the
appropriate office at the location where a student is enrolled and online.
Charges will be reversed if proper procedure is followed in the first
week only.
A course dropped after the first week up to midway through the
course will receive a W. The W will not be computed in determining
grade point average if the student follows the procedure for dropping a
course. Failure to follow the drop procedures will result in a grade of F.
No course can be dropped after the midway point of the class.
Adding a Course
To add a course, a student must request a form from the appropriate
office at the location where enrolled. The form must be returned with
appropriate signatures by the last date to add a course at that location.
Registration for an online course is not accepted after one week prior to
the course start date. Online courses fill to capacity early in the
registration process. Books must be ordered from the bookstore early to
allow for distribution prior to the beginning of the class.
Mount Olive College
65
65
Repeating a Course
A student may repeat a course to improve the course grade and
cumulative grade point average under the following conditions:
1. The student must repeat the course with Mount Olive College.
2. Only courses in which the student has a grade of D or F may
be repeated.
3. For the first three repeats only, the previous grade and hours
of credit will not be used in calculating the GPA.
Substituting a Course
Only under exceptional circumstances will substitutes for or
exemptions from the prescribed curriculum be permitted. To request a
course substitution, the Division Chair/Dean in the student‘s major will
process the appropriate form in the Registrar‘s Office. Any deviations
from the published degree requirements must have approval of the
appropriate Division Chair/Dean and Vice President for Academic
Affairs.
Directed Study
Directed Study applies to Mount Olive College catalog courses only. A
maximum of 12 semester hours of Directed Study can be applied
toward graduation.
To be eligible for a course offered by Directed Study, a student must be
currently enrolled, have at least a 3.0 cumulative GPA, have sophomore
standing if seeking an associate degree or have junior or senior standing
if seeking a baccalaureate degree, have completed a minimum of 12
semester hours in residence at Mount Olive College, and meet any
prerequisites of the course to be taken by Directed Study. A student
may enroll in only one Directed Study course per semester/term.
Directed Study will not be offered the following courses: (1) a course
in which a student has received a grade of D or F, (2) introductory
courses, (3) courses offered every semester.
NOTE: A student receiving veterans‘ benefits must see the Veterans
Certifying Official in the Registrar‘s Office for assistance in requesting
approval for Directed Study.
Non-Traditional Credit
In addition to regular instruction, a student may earn a maximum of 45
semester hours from the following combination of nontraditional
methods:
1. Experiential Learning Credit (ELC): Maximum of 15 sh credit
toward an associate degree; 30 sh toward a baccalaureate degree.
Application to Department Chairs must occur in the first semester
Mount Olive College
66
66
of the MOD, MRM, ECE and CJA programs. Each student is given
a manual with instructions in the first module course. This type of
credit allows for the student with a combined academic and
experience-based background to provide evidence of prior learning
at the college level. The students work directly through the
Department Chairs to see if their background equates to college
credit.
2. Credit by Examination (CE = College Board Advanced
Placement Test, CLEP/DANTES Examination, Challenge Exam):
For Advanced Placement and CLEP/DANTES Examinations, a
maximum of 15 sh can be applied toward an associate degree and a
maximum of 30 sh toward a baccalaureate degree. For Challenge
Exams, a maximum of 12 sh can be applied toward either an
associate or a baccalaureate degree. These tests must be taken prior
to October 1 for December graduation and March 1 for May
graduation.
The College offers standardized and challenge examination
processes through which a student may receive credit without
completing coursework. For selected courses, credit may be earned
through
College
Board
Advanced
Placement
Tests,
CLEP/DANTES Examinations, and Challenge Exams. A student
successfully completing one of these examinations will have a
notation of ―CE‖ and hours of credit recorded on the official
transcript. ―CE‖ credit hours apply toward graduation, but no grade
points are awarded.
Credit for a College Board Advanced Placement Test,
administered by the College Entrance Examination Board, requires
a score of three or higher. A maximum of 15 semester hours of AP
credit can be applied toward an associate degree and a maximum
of 30 semester hours toward a baccalaureate degree.
Credit for CLEP/DANTES Examinations can be granted upon the
Registrar‘s
receipt
of
an
official
transcript/report.
Recommendations of the American Council on Education (ACE
Guide) will be honored for both total scores and/or individual
subject exam scores. Credit will be entered on the student
transcripts with appropriate semester hours, without grade points.
(CLEP = College Level Equivalency Program; DANTES =
Defense Activity for Nontraditional Education Support). A
maximum of 15 semester hours of CLEP/DANTES credit can be
applied toward an associate degree and a maximum of 30 semester
hours toward a baccalaureate degree. The College recognizes that,
in exceptional cases, a student might have achieved the objectives
of certain courses offered by the College and, therefore, offers an
Mount Olive College
67
67
opportunity for Challenge Exams, if a CLEP examination is not
offered in the area of the course being challenged.
A Challenge Exam is not permitted for laboratory, applied music,
or physical activity courses. To apply for a Challenge Exam, a
student must be enrolled and must submit a CE application to the

Academic Integrity
The Mount Olive College Academic Honor Policy states that the
College ―operates according to an honor system which assumes that all
members of the College community will respect the principles of
honesty, integrity, and mutual trust.‖ Expanding the Academic Honor
Policy, the College Covenant includes values relevant to academic
endeavors—Honesty, Trustworthiness, Justice, Responsibility, and
Respect. The Covenant ends with the following: ―While people come to
this College from different backgrounds, each person who chooses to
be a part of the community is expected to strive for these high
standards.‖
Academic dishonesty diminishes the integrity of the entire College, and
its students, faculty, and administration have a vested interest in
providing a principled and professional procedure to resolve issues of
academic integrity.
Mount Olive College

The Nature of Academic Integrity
Students who possess academic integrity share a basic quality: When
they present their work to instructors, it is either solely their work, or
they borrow material from others and appropriately document the
source. In cases of academic dishonesty faculty members and students
should consult the Academic Integrity Policy.
Academic Honor Policy
In academic affairs, Mount Olive College operates according to an
honor system that assumes that all members of the College community
will respect the principles of honesty, integrity, and mutual trust.
Students are expected to tell the truth, respect the property of others,
and be honest. Any form of conscious and willful cheating, including
plagiarism, is intellectually dishonest and will not be tolerated at Mount
Olive College. At their direction, faculty may require students to sign
the following statement: ―I have neither given nor received help on this
examination, assignment, or paper.‖
Cheating is defined as the performance of any dishonest and deceptive
act by which a student gives or receives information illicitly with the
intent to deceive the instructor in the evaluation of the student‘s work
or represents the labor or knowledge of another as his/her own. The
term ―cheating‖ includes, but is not limited to: (1) use of any
unauthorized assistance in taking quizzes, tests, or examination; (2)
dependence upon the aid of sources beyond those authorized by the
faculty member supervising or assigning written papers, reports,
problems, or other assignments; (3) the acquisition, without permission,
of tests or other academic materials belonging to a member of the
College community.
Plagiarism is defined as the use of thoughts, writing, concepts, or
visual representations of another person without proper
acknowledgement and documentation. The Oxford English Dictionary
defines plagiarism as ―the wrongful appropriation or purloining and
publication as one‘s own, of the ideas, or the expression of the ideas
(literary, musical, mechanical, etc.) of another. The term ―plagiarism‖
includes, but is not limited to, the use, by paraphrase or direct
quotation, of the published or unpublished work of another person
without full or clear acknowledgement. It also includes the
unacknowledged use of materials prepared by another person or agency
and engaging in the selling of term papers or other academic materials.
Students are expected to understand the meaning of plagiarism and to
avoid all suspicion of plagiarism in all their work. The syllabus of
every course at Mount Olive College will include a statement regarding
Mount Olive College
74
74
the honor system, banning cheating and plagiarism, and indicating
sanctions that may follow any disregard of the policy.
Sanctions for cheating or plagiarism may include permanent separation
from the College, suspension, disciplinary warning, or failure of the
course involved. In cases of academic dishonesty, faculty members
should confer with the Vice President for Academic Affairs for
procedures.

Mount Olive College will offer three presidential honors scholarships,
at $8,000 annually, one each to a rising sophomore, a rising junior and
a rising senior. Nominees will be chosen from current Honors
scholarship recipients who have earned at least a B in their most recent
Honors course, and have met all other Honors requirements. Nominees
will be chosen at the end of the spring term after grades are posted. The
final recipients will be selected by the President of the College. The

be admitted into the Honors Program either by professor‘s
recommendation or self-nomination and review by the Honor‘s
committee.
