Introduction to the University
For more than 144 years, Drury University has prepared students for success in life and the professions.
Drurys founders recognized the need for a college that would bring the New England liberal arts tradition
to a Midwestern setting. The tradition includes a commitment to helping students learn to serve their
communities and the world.
At Drury, students gain the knowledge, experience and skills for graduate school, professional school and
careers. Although Drury has grown in size and complexity since those early years, adding resources,
graduate studies and a number of professional programs to the traditional liberal arts, the institution
maintains its commitment to excellent teaching, a low student-faculty ratio, small class sizes and
opportunities for students to engage in individual research. The hallmark of Drury University is a tradition
of excellence integrating liberal and professional learning in the service of what Aristotle called phronesis,
or practical wisdom.
Mission
Drury is an independent university, church-related, grounded in the liberal arts tradition, and committed
to personalized education in a community of scholars who value the arts of teaching and learning.
Education at Drury seeks:

To cultivate spiritual sensibilities and imaginative faculties as well as ethical insight and critical
thought;
To foster the integration of theoretical and practical knowledge; and
To liberate persons to participate responsibly in and contribute to life in a global community.
Goals
To ensure that liberal arts knowledge and understanding are central to the Drury experience and
fundamental to all programs, the university maintains and strengthens its commitment to:
Develop reading, writing, speaking, foreign language, and critical thinking skills;
Cultivate creative capacities and aesthetic appreciation through participation in the arts;
Expand logical thinking skills, and mathematical abilities, and apply inquiry based science to
investigate the natural world;
Examine the complexity of human experience through the study of historical and contemporary
events, ideas, artifacts, and behavior;
Engage in cross-cultural studies by applying global perspectives to diverse populations and
contexts;
Understand how globalization impacts, people, societies, ideas and natural processes;
Develop personal, civic, and professional responsibility in order to participate ethically and
sustainably in a larger community.
Drury University offers a remarkable variety of programs, including day and evening classes; masters
degrees in visual arts, business administration, communication, nonprofit and civic leadership, and
education; a professional master of architecture; and a strong liberal arts preparation for careers in the
professions. While offering this variety of academic options that characterize universities, Drury also offers
the personal attention, flexibility and supportive atmosphere that characterize a college. Students have
the opportunity to build on personal strengths in preparing for their future of choice. The combination of
excellent academic preparation and engaged learning experiences in service learning, internships, labs and
studios gives each student a strong foundation on which to prepare for successful careers in the global
economy and lives of meaning in the global community.

outside the U.S. must complete all the admission requirements above. He or she must submit all previous
college or university official transcripts with an English translation and complete course descriptions.
Additionally, information is required describing the sending university, such as a verification of recognition
by the national ministry of education, the number of weeks that comprise a typical semester or term of
study and the number of contact or class hours per week for each class. An explanation of the grading
system is also necessary. Possible transfer credits will be reviewed by Drury University and an estimate of
course credits will be issued in order to help the international student make plans to enroll. If the transfer
evaluation is complicated or if the university lacks adequate information to make a final credit award, the
official determination of transfer credits may be given to the World Education Services (W.E.S.), a
professional organization for the evaluation of foreign credentials or the International Education Research
Foundation. If the evaluation is needed, the student is solely responsible for submitting the
documentation required by the evaluation service and for paying the professional evaluation fee. Drury
University will provide transfer students with contact information for these evaluation services.
International student athletes who plan to transfer from a university outside the United States are
required to submit an official course-by-course college equivalency evaluation.

Readmission
If a student does not attend Drury for a semester or withdraws from Drury during a semester, he or she
thereby ceases to be a Drury student. In order to enroll again at Drury, a student must apply and be
accepted. Applications should be addressed to the Office of Admission. Final decisions regarding admission
cannot be made until the Office of Admission has reviewed transcripts of all college coursework attempted
since the student last attended Drury and such other information as the faculty admission council may
specifically request that the student provide.
Students who are readmitted to Drury will be required to meet the requirements of the current university
catalog. Student applications should be submitted well in advance of the semester or term in which the
student plans to return.
19
Advance Deposits
Admission to Drury is selective and the number of new students, freshmen and transfers admitted each
year is limited. A freshman or transfer student must remit an advance deposit after acceptance by the
university. A student planning to live in Drury housing is required to remit a $300 deposit ($100 toward
tuition, $200 toward housing); commuter students remit a $100 deposit. The additional $200 from on-
campus students is set aside in a special escrow account to cover housing damages and key losses. It is
refundable when an enrolled student leaves Drury (exclusive of damages, key charges or an outstanding
balance with the university).
The advance tuition and housing deposits are not refundable after May 1 for fall semester entrance and
December 15 for spring semester entrance. An extension of the deadline may be considered if the
applicant requests such an extension from the office of admission.
Health Assessment
A confidential health and emergency contact form is available online and must be completed prior to
starting classes. Proof of immunizations must be submitted to the Dean of Students Office prior to starting
classes. If all health requirements are not submitted a hold will be placed on the students account and
they will be unable to register for classes until all requirements are met.
20
A+ Early Admission Program
Qualified A+ students graduating from high school and beginning their freshman year at Ozarks Technical
Community College (OTC), are eligible for early admission to Drury University. The early admission
agreement allows students to complete the associate degree at OTC and subsequently pursue an
undergraduate degree at Drury University.
Formally admitted members of the early admission program have the opportunity to receive individualized
academic planning services and financial aid counseling equivalent to those provided to full-time Drury
students. Additionally, they will be eligible for scholarships equivalent to those available to incoming
Drury freshmen and will have the opportunity to compete for an additional $5,000 scholarship available
only to program participants at the time of their enrollment at Drury. Students who wish to further align
themselves with the culture and student services offered on the Drury campus while they are enrolled at
OTC may pay an activity fee that will provide on-going access to campus services and opportunities. These
activities, which are optional and not required to be an academic program participant, include access to
the library, fitness center and student activities, with the entire list of benefits included on the application.
An application form for the program can be found at www.drury.edu/dualadmission. The application must
be completed and submitted to the Drury University Admission Office to formalize early admission. The
standard admission application fee will be waived.
While the associate of arts is the transfer degree most compatible with Drurys curriculum, resulting in the
transfer of all coursework and junior standing, students completing other associate degrees will be
welcomed and counseled individually regarding the transfer of specific coursework. In order to remain in
good standing with this program, students must maintain at least a 3.25 grade point average each
semester at OTC.
21
New Student Orientation
The purpose of orientation at Drury University is to provide a variety of fun, interactive experiences for all
new students in order to support them in their transition to college life at Drury. Orientation is required of
all domestic freshmen and international students as well at transfer students. The scheduled activities are
different for each group. To view the orientation schedules, visit www.drury.edu/newstudents.
New Students - Fall Semester

Freshmen, transfer and international students attend a four-day orientation event in the days before the
first day of classes. In addition to the four-day event, international students are required to attend a two-
day program designed for their needs.
New Students - Spring Semester

Freshmen attend a one-day orientation event in January, which is held the Friday before classes begin, as
well as the required four-day event in the fall. Transfer students attend the same one-day orientation
event in January, and they are strongly encouraged to also attend the four-day fall orientation event.
International students are required to attend a four-day orientation event during the spring semester, and
they must also attend the four-day orientation event in the fall.

General Education
The Drury Core: Engaging Our World

Drury is committed to a liberal arts education that equips students with the knowledge and skills
necessary to meet the pressing challenges and opportunities that await them in todays complex and
interdependent world. Our general education curriculum, The Drury Core: Engaging Our World, prepares
students for personal and professional success by prioritizing applied learning through direct engagement
in communities both at home and around the world.
According to the Association of American Colleges and Universities (AAC&U), liberal education has the
strongest impact when students look beyond the classroom to the worlds major questions, asking
students to apply their developing analytical skills and ethical judgments to significant problems in the
world around them. To advance these aims, the Drury general education curriculum embraces four
modes of engagement. Together, they collectively represent our continuing emphasis on global learning
combined with the longstanding goals of a Drury education: a broad exposure to the liberal arts and the
development of the key skills of writing, oral communication, critical thinking and sound ethical decision
making.
1. Engagement with Global Challenges

In the Engaging Our World curriculum, students develop the ability to identify and address the major
issues confronting todays world. Students take an interdisciplinary global studies course (CORE 201)
addressing an important global issue, and 6 credits of foreign language. Additionally, global learning is
infused across the campus, with all departments offering courses that present disciplinary content situated
in a global context. This cross-disciplinary infusion exemplifies AAC&Us recommendation that global
learning should move to a broader framework that shapes all, or significant parts, of the general
education curriculum.
2. Engagement with Communities

The Engaging Our World curriculum requires students to complete two engaged learning experiences.
Powerful evidence shows that high impact learning practices, such as service learning, internships, study
away/abroad, leadership development and student/faculty research, stimulate gains in critical thinking
skills, civic and global awareness, and commitment to intellectual success. The new curriculum integrates
these practices into general education in a systematic and intentional way.
3. Engagement with Diverse Methods, Approaches and Areas of Knowledge

The Engaging Our World curriculum exposes students to a broad range of knowledge in two central ways.
First, students enroll in a thematic First-Year Experience seminar (CORE 101) that combines the
development of key academic skills with an exploration of important and interesting topics, taught by
faculty with expertise in these areas. Second, students take at least six credit hours the fine arts,
humanities, social sciences, and natural and mathematical sciences, in courses carefully designed to
develop understanding of that disciplines a distinct way of understanding, interpreting, or studying the
world.
4. Engagement with Core Skills Necessary for Professional Success, Lifelong Learning, and Ethical
Participation in the Global Community
The Engaging Our World curriculum recognizes that meaningful engagement with the world requires key
skills. Development of writing, oral communication and critical thinkingbegins in the thematic CORE 101
23
seminar and continues in the 3-credit Drury Foundations course. To assure mastery of more advanced
writing, students also develop proficiency as writers in their major. Students learn the skills for success in
and beyond college through personalized advising and mentorship in CORE 103/104. Kinesthetic and
wellness skills are developed and cultivated through the EXSP 220 Personal Wellness course. The capacity
for sound moral judgment is developed in the junior-level Ethics seminar course.
Through these four modesEngagement with Global Challenges, Engagement with Communities,
Engagement with Diverse Ways of Knowing, and Engagement with Core Skills the Engaging Our World
curriculum provides Drury students with a robust liberal arts general education that will prepare them for
professional careers, engaged citizenship, and a life of learning.

Academic Excellence
Drury recognizes academic excellence in several ways.
Deans List
The Deans List is published at the end of each term and includes all full-time students (at least 12
semester hours), whose GPA is 3.6 or higher each semester.
Honors at Graduation
Only grades earned while in residence at Drury University are used in determining honors at graduation.
Degrees with Distinction: The degrees of Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Arts with Honors, Bachelor of
Business Administration, Bachelor of Business Administration with Honors, Bachelor of Music Education,
Bachelor of Music Education with Honors, Bachelor of Music Therapy, Bachelor of Music Therapy with
Honors, Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Science with Honors, Master of Architecture and Master of
Architecture with Honors are awarded with merit in three grades: with distinction, cum laude; with high
distinction, magna cum laude; and with highest distinction, summa cum laude.
Candidates will be recommended for the degree cum laude if they have been in residence at least
two years, have completed no fewer than 60 semester hours at Drury and have attained a GPA of
3.6 during those years.
Candidates will be recommended for the degree magna cum laude if they have been in residence
at least two years, have completed no fewer than 60 semester hours at Drury and have attained a
GPA of 3.75 during those years.
Candidates will be recommended for the degree summa cum laude if they have been in residence
at least three years, have completed no fewer than 90 semester hours at Drury and have attained
a GPA of 3.9 during those years.
First Honors Students

The student of the graduating class who has been in attendance at the university at least three years,
having completed no fewer than 90 semester hours at Drury and whose standing is the highest through
the course will be awarded first honors.
41
Departmental Honors
Departmental Honors encourages superior, advanced students to do intensive, independent or creative
work of high quality in a field of concentration. It differs from the independent study courses in that it is
more inclusive and requires a higher quality of scholarship. Also, a greater degree of initiative on the part
of the student is expected. The study may cover the material of individual courses, cut across course or
departmental lines or include matter and procedures not offered in usual courses.
In order to qualify for Departmental Honors, the student must comply with the following standards and
conditions:
1. Students cannot complete Departmental Honors if earning a degree through the University Honors
Program.
2. The student and an advisor must present an application to the dean who must approve the
application prior to appointing an ad hoc committee, with the advisor as chair, to supervise the
project and serve as readers of the resulting thesis or jurors of a creative work.
3. The application must be made and the committee appointed prior to the completion of 90
semester hours toward graduation.
4. The student must have maintained a high grade point average throughout his or her college career
(a 3.75 or better is usually expected), and the student must satisfy the advisor and the dean that
she or he has the ability to complete a project of the quality expected (an ACT of 29 or better or
the comparable SAT are one acceptable measure of that ability).
5. The student will normally enroll for 495 and 496 Honors Research, three hours in each semester of
the senior year. The work usually involves research during the summer between the junior and
senior years, and often begins in the junior year.
6. It is expected that the project will be completed in a department or departments in which the
student has concentrated at least half of the work during the junior and senior years.
7. Completed work must be satisfactory in both quantity and quality or the student will be dropped
from honors work. Work will be evaluated by the advisor, the committee and an external
examiner. It is strongly suggested that the student and advisor work closely with the committee
throughout the research, seeking its advice, assistance and assessment as the project proceeds.
8. The external examiner will be approved by the committee and the dean. The examiner should be
someone who comes from a distinguished institution of higher learning (other than Drury) who
can be objective in evaluating the quality of the work accomplished. It is the advisors
responsibility to identify possible individuals, to invite the evaluator and to brief the evaluator on
our departmental honors program and its expectations.
9. No later than March 31 of the senior year, a comprehensive examination must be given by the
external evaluator. The examination will be open to the committee members and the college
community in general. It should be publicized and it should be an occasion for the student to
inform those present regarding his or her work. The examiner, having read the thesis and
conducted the examination, will make a recommendation to the committee. The committee will
determine, in consultation with the advisor, whether the student will graduate with departmental
honors, or, failing that, what grade should be received (the research that will no longer be listed as
honors research). With favorable recommendation by the committee, the student will be
designated as graduating with departmental honors. On the transcript, the student will receive the
designation with departmental honors.
Copies of the work completed by students who graduate with departmental honors shall be placed in the
library.
42
University Honors Program
Richard Schur, Director
The Honors Program exemplifies the best that Drury has to offer: small classes, personal attention, vibrant
student-faculty interactions, liberal arts inquiry, and hands on learning. The Honors Program will provide
the academic support and mentoring to foster academic excellence among Honor students and to prepare
them for success in graduate school, business, and the professions. Successful completion of the Honors
Program earns a student a Degree with Honors.

Admissions Policy
Admission to Drurys Honors Program is selective. Students interested in the Honors Program should apply
before they enroll at Drury, although we will allow students to apply at the end of their first year if we
have room in the program. No more than 40 students are accepted each year. We review applications of
prospective students on a rolling basis. Students are selected based on their academic accomplishments
and how well they demonstrate the characteristics of successful Honors students:
Curiosity
Ambition
Independence
Social and intellectual engagement in the world
Dedication to hard work
We review a students complete application and all that they have accomplished when making admission
decisions for Drurys Honors Program. Students who have been recently accepted tend to have one or
43
more of the following characteristics: graduated in the top 10-15% of their high school class, earned a high
school or college GPA of 3.6 or higher, an ACT score of 28 or higher to be the strongest candidates, an IBT
TOEFL of 95 or higher, or significant achievement in an academic area or co-curricular activity.
Note: Students who complete the University Honors Program are not eligible to earn Departmental
Honors.
Good Standing in the Program

To remain in the program, Honors students must remain in good standing. Honor students are expected to
Make progress on achieving the necessary credit hours to graduate with an honors degree.
Students need to have completed 6 honors hours after the third semester, 12 hours after the 5th
semester and 18 hours after the 7th semester.
Maintain a minimum of a 3.4 GPA in honors courses (but a 3.75 GPA in honors courses is required
for graduation),
Attend honors dinners, honors trips, and honors events on campus on a regular basis. Each honors
student must attend at least 3 events per semester.
Create and maintain an Honors Portfolio.
What is an Honors Course?

Honors courses offer students a deeper and more intense academic experience than traditional classes.
They offer a hands on and student-directed approach to learning and demand that students take
ownership over their education by posing questions, examining evidence, and joining the scholarly
conversation about course topics. In the Honors Program at Drury University, honors courses are not
advanced classes that cover more material. Rather, they invite students to be active participants and
partners with the faculty in intellectual exploration and knowledge creation. To be identified as an honors
course or as an honors-qualified course, a class must employ one or more of the following pedagogies:
student-led curricula, student-faculty research, service learning, problem-based learning, and primary
source instruction.

*Honors students enrolling in these courses will need to complete an honors option contract and submit
that contract to the honors director.
The Honors Contract Option

We also encourage students to work with faculty to transform non-honors classes into honor classes
through the honors contract option. If an honors student would like to dig deeper into a topic or material
from a non-honors class, he or she should contact the faculty member when enrolling and discuss the
46
possibility of creating an honors contract that outlines how the course will be supplemented (see criteria
for honors courses above) to meet the requirements of an honors course. If the faculty member agrees to
supervise the additional work or project, then the student must submit a signed honors contract to the
Director of the Honors Program during the first week of the semester.
47
Pre-professional Programs
Students wishing to transfer credit from professional schools toward their senior residence requirement at
Drury are advised that they should plan their educational program at Drury so that they have completed
all of the following minimum requirements before transferring to the professional school:
1. The successful completion of 94 semester hours with a minimum grade point average of C (2.0) in
all work at Drury University.
2. At least 18 semester hours must be in upper division courses.
3. The successful completion of core requirements in the specified area of concentration to enable
the department head to certify satisfactory completion of a major.
4. A student must submit a petition, addressed to the academic affairs committee that outlines the
successful completion of the above requirements and requests a waiver of the senior residency
requirement. The petition must be submitted and approved during the last semester in residence
at Drury.
5. Upon successful completion of the professional school program, a transfer of credit award will be
made to complete the 124 hours required for the bachelors degree. An official transcript is to be
provided from the professional school.
48
Academic Advising
Academic Advising is located in Bay Hall 124 and normal office hours are 8 a.m. - 5 p.m.
Academic advising is an integral part of the Drury experience and is designed to help students increase
awareness of the educational benefits and programs available to them during their college years. We are
committed to student success, both in career and personal goals.
We provide students with additional assistance and resources related to college planning. Academic
Advising is also ready to assist students who are undecided about their major or minor. Incoming transfer
students and freshman are able to get initial academic counseling, scheduling and help until they are
assigned or choose a faculty advisor from their major.
Students and parents are encouraged to contact Academic Advising for scheduling, up-to-date information
on various programs, dropping or adding a course, advisor assignment or changes and questions. We serve
as a resource for students, faculty and staff.

49
Registration
Students must register for classes prior to each semester. Drury provides the support students need when
making decisions about how to meet educational goals at each stage of their education.
First-year freshmen are asked to provide information about their interests and preferences prior to being
initially registered by Academic advising, and are supported as they fine tune the schedule for their first
term.
Transfer students entering Drury will have the opportunity to discuss their educational background and
plans with an advisor in person or by phone before being assisted through the registration process.
Entering international students will be advised and assisted with registration during the orientation
sessions held prior to each semester.
Current students are encouraged to consult a faculty advisor in the department of their major(s) before
registering each semester.
To be classified as a freshman, you must meet the entrance requirements. To become a sophomore, you
must have earned 30 semester hours; to be classified as a junior, you must have 60 semester hours; and as
a senior, 90 semester hours.
Before you are entitled to attend class, you must complete all registration procedures. This includes the
filing of your health assessment form.
Student status is determined by course load (undergraduate credit hour enrollment) each semester.
12 or more hours Full-time

9 hours Three-quarter-time
6 hours Half-time
<6 hours Less-than-half-time
See the academic calendar for specific dates to add and drop courses.
After the end of the first week of the semester, a change in your registration can only be made by filing an
official drop and add form in the Office of the Registrar. If you wish to drop a class, it is important that the
drop and add form be filed with the Registrar as soon as this decision is made. Failure to officially drop a
class you are not attending will result in a grade of F for the course. Failure to officially add a class you are
attending will result in no credit.
Responsibility for drop and add belongs solely to the student. A verbal indication of intent to drop given to
either a faculty member to the Registrars Office is insufficient; the correct procedure must be completed
online (only at times when web access to drop/add process is made available) or by submitting the correct
drop/add form to the Registrar. Students cannot enroll in a semester after the first week of classes and
cannot add a course after the second week of classes.
50
Courses are subject to the following drop policies:
Prior to the first day of class and until the Friday of the second week of the Fall or Spring semester, a
student may drop with no transcript notation.
From the beginning of 3rd week through 75% of term, the student can drop courses or withdraw with
grade notation W which is non-punitive. The ending period for W notation is based on a 75%
percentage of term rather than actual number of days since terms (summer, blended, semester, block,
May Term, Winter Term, etc.) can vary widely in actual number of days.
Beginning the week of the last 25% of term, the student is committed to receiving a grade. Beginning at
the same time, the faculty member is committed to grading the student.
A student with a documented incidence of injury or illness may be granted a medical withdrawal at any
time during the term and will receive the non-punitive grade of W. Medical withdrawal requires approval
of the Vice President of Student Affairs.
At any time during or after the term, the faculty member has the right to fail the student who has been
proven to have behaved in a dishonest or unethical manner relating to class performance. In that
instance, a student cannot avoid a failing grade by attempting to drop the course.
Credit is assigned on the basis of one hour for each lecture or recitation hour a week, or its equivalent in
laboratory hours, for a semester of 15 weeks. The amount of credit for each course is indicated on current
course schedules. The student is responsible for checking his or her own records to make sure that he or
she does not repeat a course.
Credit cannot be given for a course for which you are not officially registered, nor can credit be claimed
more than once for the same course unless the course is designated as one that can be repeated.
Students are not admitted to the university for purposes of earning academic credit after the first full
week of classes.
51
Overload
Request for overload is only available in the fall and spring semesters. More than 17 hours in a full-term
(or more than 7 hours in a block period) is considered an academic overload. Students who wish to enroll
in an academic overload should have a cumulative grade average of 3.0 or higher and must obtain the
approval of their academic advisor. The deadline to submit this approval is the first day of the semester or
block. Students with a grade average below 3.0 must also obtain approval from the Office of Academic
Affairs. Registration for more than 21 hours in full-term (or 9 in a block period) is considered an excessive
overload and requires approval by the Office of Academic Affairs before the semester begins. Excessive
overload approvals will not exceed more than 10 hours in any block period, and no more than 22 hours
total (including block) in any fall or spring term.
Credit hour overloads are not permitted during the Summer, May, or winter terms. Maximum credit
allowed for summer is 13 semester hours. No more than 3 semester hours can be earned in either May or
winter terms.
52
Cancellation of Course Policy
The university reserves the right to cancel any course as deemed advisable.
53
Internships
The three primary goals of Drurys internship program are:
(1) To help the student clarify educational and career objectives;
(2) To expand the students understanding of classroom theory by applying their training in some
practical way; and
(3) To introduce the student to the world of work in terms of responsibilities and employer-
employee relationships.
In addition to completing the on-site internship, the student may be asked to complete additional
coursework as assigned by the faculty sponsor. Grades are assigned by the Faculty Sponsor and are based
on performance at the internship site and other assigned coursework.
Students with at least 60 credit hours and a 2.5 or higher grade point average are eligible to complete
internships for credit. Students must have completed coursework appropriate for the internship
experience and must be related to their field of study.
The student is required to complete paperwork and submit it to Career Planning and Development prior to
the beginning of the work experience and before the deadline to add a course for credit.
Credit will not be granted retroactively.
In order to receive credit for the internship, the student must be registered in coursework designated for
internship credit. Each course carries three or six semester hours of credit. Only six hours of internship
credit will apply toward the baccalaureate degree. Internships cannot be undertaken without all approvals
being given and formal arrangements having been made. Student interns must work at least 135 hours for
a three credit hour internship or 270 hours for a six credit hour internship. All hours must be completed
during the semester in which they are receiving credit.
Tuition rates for internship are the same as all other academic courses.
For more information: www.drury.edu/career/internships.
54
Directed Study
To allow flexibility in students schedules, the university offers courses by directed study. With the
appropriate approvals, a student may register for directed study for courses listed in the catalog. This
study will be pursued under the guidance of the instructor. The usual syllabus of the course will be
followed and the standards will be the same as when the course is being offered as a class. Such course
constitutes a regular part of the academic load. The regulations regarding registration, tuition and fees
apply.
Selected Topics
Selected Topics are courses of an experimental nature that provide students a wide variety of study
opportunities and experiences. Selected Topics offer both the department and the students the
opportunity to explore areas of special interest in a structured classroom setting. Selected Topics courses
(course numbers 290, 390, 490) will have variable titles and vary in credit from 1-3 semester hours.
Selected Topic courses may not be taken as a Directed Study offering.
Research
Many academic departments offer special research or investigative projects beyond the regular catalog
offering. Significant responsibility lies with the student to work independently to develop a proposal for
study that must be approved by a faculty mentor and the appropriate department chair. The faculty
member will provide counsel through the study and will evaluate the students performance.
Sophomores, juniors and seniors are eligible.
Students must register for research (291, 391 or 491) to receive credit and are required to fill out a
Permission to Register for Special Coursework form. No more than 6 hours of research are applicable to a
major. It is recommended that students complete not more than 12 hours of research to apply toward the
baccalaureate degree.
55
Concurrent Credit Policy
Concurrent credit makes it possible for academically qualified and motivated students to begin their
masters degree while still an undergraduate student. With appropriate advising and fulfillment of
academic standards, students can complete a bachelors and fast-track completion of a masters degree.
Drury Universitys Concurrent Credit program allows for students to enroll in 600 level graduate courses
while still pursuing a bachelors degree. Through the program, eligible undergraduate students may enroll
in graduate courses and earn both graduate and undergraduate credit simultaneously.
Any student seeking to pursue a 3+1 or 4+1 program must adhere to the guidelines set forth by the
academic department applicable to their specific area of study. Students pursuing the concurrent credit
program may apply a maximum of 12 graduate hours toward the 124 hours required for a bachelors
degree at Drury University. Although a maximum of 12 credit hours may be taken, many programs have
lower limits. See the Graduate Catalog for more information.
Tuition for graduate-level courses taken while pursuing a bachelors degree will be charged according to
the following:
Day School: Students enrolled in 12-17 hours while taking graduate level coursework will
be charged at the Day School tuition rate. In the event of an overload (more than 17
hours), graduate courses will be charged at the applicable graduate tuition rate. Reference
the Tuition and Fees chart for tuition rates.
CCPS: Courses taken at the graduate level are charged the applicable graduate tuition rate.
Reference the Tuition and Fees chart for tuition rates.
Once formally admitted to the graduate program upon completion of the bachelors degree, students will
pay the graduate tuition rate for their coursework.
Students registering for concurrent credit must complete the Permission to Register for Concurrent Credit.
This form must be completed and submitted to the Office of the Registrar by the last day to enroll as
stated in the Academic Calendar for each semester in order to finalize registration.
Student Eligibility for Early Graduate Admission:

Students must apply for the desired 4+1 masters program after completing 75 hours of coursework.
Minimum academic requirements for early acceptance to a qualifying masters program are:
Ninety (90) undergraduate credits, 45 of which must have been completed at Drury
Two (2) upper-division courses in the major area of study
Overall GPA of 3.5
Working in conjunction with a program director, students will complete and file a program of
study with the Registrars Office. Graduate course credit may be applied to the curriculum
requirements for an undergraduate major or it may only apply toward the total hour and upper
division requirements. The plan of study must be approved by the students advisor, the
appropriate graduate program director, the department chair or dean of the students major area
of study, and the Dean of the College of Graduate Studies.
Students must meet GPA requirements to stay in the program. If a student earns a C in a
graduate course, he/she will be placed on probationary status. A student can be dismissed from
the graduate program for failing to maintain a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.0.
56
Students failing to remove themselves from scholastic probation within one semester in residence
after being placed on scholastic probation may be dismissed.
Early Admission Application Requirements:

Complete the online application for admission to the College of Graduate Studies no later than
the end of the students junior year
Submit a personal statement that explains career goals and reasons applying for the +1 masters
program
Submit a letter from the appropriate graduate program director stating that he/she has agreed
to serve as the students faculty advisor for graduate work
Two (2) letters of recommendation, one of which must be from a university faculty member
Upon completion of the bachelors degree, student must fulfill all program-specific admission
requirements (pre-requisites and satisfactory GRE or GMAT exam score)
57
Transcripts of Credit
Transcripts of credit will be issued by the Office of the Registrar to all present and former students subject
to certain conditions. In order to assure that records are confidential, Drury University issues official
transcripts only upon written authorization of the student. Financial obligations to the college must be
satisfied.
There is an $8.00 fee for a transcript ordered online through http://www.studentclearinghouse.org.
The fee is $12.00 when ordered through the Registrars Office.
58
Class Attendance
Students are expected to attend all classes and laboratory periods for which they are enrolled. There is no
university-wide policy defining conditions under which an instructor should or should not excuse an
absence, other than university-sanctioned absences (academic and athletic competitions, class field trips,
etc.). Instructors are responsible for the maintenance of standards and quality of work in their classes.
Absences occurring for any reason, other than university-sanctioned activities, is an individual matter
between student and instructor. Students are directly responsible to instructors for class attendance and
for work missed during an absence for any cause.
Enrollment is verified in the second week of each semester (first week in block terms). Students that have
not begun attendance by that timeframe will be administratively withdrawn from the course.
59
The Grading System
A grade indicates a level of performance as demonstrated by a student and evaluated by an instructor.
Grading symbols are A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+, C, C-, D+, D, D-, F, I, S, U, (IP).
A grade of C represents a satisfactory level of performance that can be expected of any Drury student
who gives a reasonable amount of time, effort and attention to the work of the course. Such satisfactory
performance should include familiarity with the content of the course as shown by an acceptable mastery
of the information, concepts or skills involved, as well as regular participation in the work of the class.
A grade of B indicates a higher level of performance than the satisfactory standard defined for a grade of
C. It involves excellence in some aspect of the work, such as completeness, accuracy, detail of
knowledge or effective independent work.
A grade of A involves a level of performance that is conspicuously excellent in the factors indicated in
the definition of B.
A grade of D indicates below-standard performance; it is acceptable toward graduation only if offset by

superior work in other courses.
A grade of S (Satisfactory) indicates the attainment of a C level or better. A grade of F or U

indicates an unacceptable level of performance.
An I grade is given for incomplete work only if illness or other unavoidable causes prevent the student
from completing the course. The student is responsible for contacting the instructor and determining what
must be done to remove the I grade. Coursework must be completed and the I grade replaced with a
letter grade within six weeks after the beginning of the semester immediately following the semester in
which the I was received. For graduating seniors, coursework receiving an I grade must be completed
within two weeks following the end of the semester in which they have applied to graduate. The instructor
granting the incomplete, or the department chair in his or her absence, is required to report to the
registrar a grade for the permanent record at the end of that period. A grade of I not removed within the
time period allowed will automatically be changed to an F. A specified extension of time for removal of
the incomplete grade may be granted by the associate dean of the college. Until the grade has been
formally recorded, the course will not be considered as hours attempted and thus will not be a part of the
cumulative grade point average.
A W indicates that the student has withdrawn from a course before the point in the term at which the
faculty member is required to assign a final grade. Generally, that point falls when 75% of the term has
been completed; see the Academic Calendar for official drop dates in each term. The W grade is non-
punitive.
Any student who unofficially drops a course or unofficially withdraws from college will receive an F in the
course or courses.
Credit point averages will be computed as follows: each hour of A counts as 4.0; each hour of A- counts
3.7; each hour of B+ counts 3.3; each hour of B counts 3.0; each hour of B- counts 2.7; each hour of C+
counts 2.3; each hour of C counts 2.0; each hour of C- counts 1.7; each hour of D+ counts 1.3; each hour of
D counts 1.0; and each hour of D- counts 0.7.
60
The grade point average is based only on academic courses taken at Drury University. The computation is
made by dividing the total number of credit points earned by the total number of semester hours
attempted. Grades of F are included when computing grade point averages and carry a value of zero
points. For courses that are completed more than once (repeated), the grade point average is computed
on the policy that the highest grade stands and that no other grades associated with the course are
included in the calculation. Grades from repeated courses that are not calculated as part of the grade
point average are replaced with an RP (passed, repeated), RF (failed, repeated), or RU (unsatisfactory,
repeated). Grade reports, including class rank, are accessible on MyDrury to current students at the end of
each semester or term.
Mid-semester grades are made available to all students at Drury University. The academic dean, dean of
students or associate dean of students may request other scholarship reports at any time.
Satisfactory or Unsatisfactory
A student who is officially classified as a junior or senior may register for one course during a semester on
a Satisfactory or Unsatisfactory basis, but must designate this option before the end of the second week of
class. In order to receive a satisfactory grade, a student is expected to perform at the C level or better.
With the exception of internships, teacher aiding, writing tutorial, community service (FREN 314, 315, 316,
317, 318, 319) winter term and May term courses, only four undergraduate courses may be taken on a
Satisfactory or Unsatisfactory basis. Courses in a students major and minor, courses taken to meet
graduation requirements and honors courses (excluding community service) may not be taken on a
Satisfactory or Unsatisfactory basis. A transfer student officially classified as a junior or senior by Drury
University and in good academic standing may take a course on a Satisfactory or Unsatisfactory basis
during the first semester at Drury. Satisfactory or Unsatisfactory courses are not to be included in the
cumulative grade point average. A student receiving a grade of Unsatisfactory will not receive the credit
toward graduation.
61
Appeal of Final Course Grade
Students should be protected from prejudice and capriciousness in the awarding of grades. They are
entitled to a reasonable explanation of their performance in relation to the standards of the course. They
also are entitled to (1) a review of their grade by a responsible group of faculty members in cases where
the student can establish a reasonable doubt that the grade was awarded fairly and (2) a reconsideration
of the grade where prejudice or capriciousness is established. A student may appeal a final course grade
by the following steps:
Step 1: If a student has a question concerning the final grade, he or she should discuss the matter with the
faculty member within the first three weeks of the following semester. If the faculty member who
awarded the grade is not on campus during the regular term, the student should contact the Office of
Academic Affairs or the department chair. When the faculty member who awarded the grade is not
available, the department chair or someone designated by the chair would, in normal circumstances, be
responsible for reaffirming or adjusting the grade. The original faculty member would be consulted
whenever possible. If no agreement is reached between the student and the faculty member, the student
must file an appeal letter with the Office of Academic Affairs by the end of the fourth week.
Step 2: The chair of the department concerned then mediates negotiations between the faculty member
and the student (normally for two weeks, or the fifth and sixth weeks of the term). If the department chair
is the faculty member concerned, the Office of Academic Affairs will appoint a mediator.
Step 3: If mediated negotiations are unsuccessful, the student may file a formal written petition with the
AAC before the end of the eighth week of the semester stating the reasons why he or she feels the grade
was awarded in a prejudicial or capricious manner and presenting evidence to support the case. As with
other petitions, the student may request the presence or absence of the AAC student representatives. The
petitioning student will be responsible for presenting any papers, tests or exams that were returned to
him or her. The faculty member will be responsible for making available any papers bearing on the case
that were not returned to the student.
The AAC receives the petition and based on their experience as educators and their evaluation of the
fairness of the grade, decides by a simple majority vote whether to hear the case. If they choose not to
hear the case, the committee has completed its review of the appeal. If the AAC decides to hear the case,
the student and the faculty member will present any evidence or other information that is required by the
AAC. In those cases where a member of the committee is involved as the faculty member who awarded
the grade, that member shall resign from the case and the Faculty Affairs Committee, serving as a
nominating committee, shall appoint another faculty member to serve on the AAC to hear the case. The
committee also may call for whatever other information members deem significant to their decision,
including testimony from the mediating faculty member from step two. The mediating faculty member
also will be heard if he or she so desires. The AAC will then decide if prejudice or caprice was involved in
determining the final grade. A two-thirds majority vote is required to establish prejudice or caprice, in
which case the grade will be reconsidered. In the absence of a two-thirds majority vote, the case is closed.
Step 4: In reconsidering the original grade, the department chair, in consultation with the AAC, should
review all pertinent materials. If a change in grade is deemed warranted, the new grade will be established
by the department chair in consultation with the AAC. If the department chair is the faculty member who
awarded the grade, the same person who functioned as mediator will determine the grade.
62
Step 5: All decisions of the committee on such petitions will be subject to automatic review by the Office
of Academic Affairs and thereafter move into the normal channels of the university.
63
Satisfactory Academic Standing
Drury students are expected to maintain the highest level of scholarship of which they are capable, and to
make consistent progress towards graduation. Since graduation requires at least 124 hours of credit with a
cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher, remaining in satisfactory academic standing requires that students (1)
earn a semester GPA of 2.0 or higher, (2) maintain a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher, and (3) complete a
minimum amount of progress toward the degree in the most recent semester, and the most recent
academic year (the two most recently completed semesters and the most recent summer session), as
explained below:
Fulltime students (enrolled for 12 or more credit hours per semester) should successfully
complete at least 9 credit hours each semester and 24 credit hours each academic year.
Three-quarter time students (enrolled for at least 9 but less than 12 credit hours per semester)
must successfully complete at least 6 hours each semester, and 18 credit hours each academic
year.
Half-time students (enrolled for at least 6 but less than 9 credit hours per semester) must
successfully complete at least 3 hours each semester, and 12 credit hours each academic year.
Scholastic Probation and Suspension

Probationary status serves as a warning that students are not in satisfactory academic standing and are
not adequately progressing towards graduation, and must improve the quality of their work in order to
remove the risk of suspension from the university that results from continued probationary status.
Full-time students place themselves on academic probation when their performance fails to meet one or
more of the three required elements for satisfactory academic standing. Students on probation should
carry a reasonable academic load, developed with the help of all available counseling and advising, about
which activities to drop (because they interfere with studying) and which to retain (because they play an
important part in personal need or development). Students who are placed on probation may continue to
have access to extra-curricular activities.
Students are suspended from the university when their work merits probation for three consecutive
semesters, or when the pattern of their work merits such action.
Students suspended from the university for academic reasons may apply to the Office of Academic Affairs
for readmission. Successful applications will meaningfully address the reasons for previous academic
difficulty, and present a plan for improved performance. Academic success in courses taken while separate
from Drury is encouraged. Readmission is not automatic, and scholarships and financial aid are not
guaranteed to students who are readmitted. Applications for readmission must be submitted to the office
of admissions at least one month prior to the first day of the proposed term of re-admittance. Additional
action may be required to receive aid, and students should contact the Financial Aid Office to determine
their eligibility after readmission. Students readmitted after suspension will be admitted on probation and
must show minimum progress by the end of their first semester in order to remain enrolled.
64
Foreign Language Institute
The Foreign Language Institute (FLI) is a collaborative venture between Missouri State University, Drury,
Ozarks Technical College, Evangel University and Southwest Baptist University. It was established to
increase students access to language that otherwise would not be widely available in the region.
How do I register for courses in the FLI?

You register for FLI courses by downloading the forms available on the languages department website
(http://www.drury.edu/core/Foreign-Languages-Institute-at-Missouri-State-University), and getting the
required signatures. You will need to then take the forms in person to Drury Universitys Office of the
Registrar.
Do credits transfer from the FLI or MSU to Drury?

No. You are enrolled through, and pay tuition to, Drury, and credits from your FLI course will appear on
your Drury transcript. They are not transfer credits. Drury will allow each student to take the two courses
necessary to complete their CORE foreign language requirement through this agreement. Additional
classes at the FLI, over and above the courses necessary to complete the CORE credit however, will be paid
directly to MSU and will be received as transfer credit.
Where do FLI courses meet?

Most courses offered through the FLI meet at the Jim D. Morris Center, located at the corner of Jefferson
and McDaniel streets in downtown Springfield.
Who teaches FLI classes?

FLI courses are taught by instructors hired by the FLI. The FLI instructor will track your attendance and
grades and will forward that information on a regular basis to the FLI Coordinator at Drury. Disputes over
attendance or grades are handled at the FLI, not at Drury.
Where can I park?

During the first week of class, FLI students from Drury may park at any MSU yellow lot downtown without
penalty. During that week, students receive a complimentary MSU commuter parking pass, which must be
returned at the end of each term.
Can I drop a course I take at the FLI?

The regular rules regarding dropping a course at Drury apply to dropping a course at the FLI. See the
Academic Calendar for the last day to make schedule changes and the last day to drop.
Will I be able to complete a full sequence in my language?

The FLI plans to offer four-semester sequences in each language (e.g., Italian 101-202). However, it cannot
guarantee that the sequence will always be available, since classes may be canceled due to low
enrollments, instructor unavailability, or other extenuating factors.
More information about the FLI can be found at http://fli.missouristate.edu.
65
Advanced Placement
Drury University will grant credit for AP Examinations. Students must have an original copy of their score
report sent directly to the Office of the Registrar.
Candidates interested in this credit are urged to take the Advanced Placement Tests given by the
College Entrance Examination Board in the spring of the senior year. College credit, in addition to
advanced placement, may be given if the text scores merit it as determined by the dean and the
department chair concerned.

IMPORTANT NOTE TO STUDENTS WHO MAY ATTEND MEDICAL SCHOOL OR OTHER GRADUATE STUDY
FOLLOWING COMPLETION OF UNDERGRADUATE DEGREE:
Advanced Placement Credit, CLEP credit, and dual enrollment credit, although applicable to Drury
undergraduate degree programs, may not be acceptable to meet entry requirements into certain graduate
programs. As one example, St. Louis University Pre-medical Scholars program requires that all program
requirements be completed on the Drury campus and therefore Advanced Placement, CLEP, and dual
credit will not suffice for medical school entrance. Advanced Placement credits will be awarded to a
student with adequate test scores, as per university policy. Each student, however, is responsible for
determining if the credit will meet entrance requirements for the graduate or professional school of their
choice, and for taking the required course work if their graduate or professional program will not accept
Advanced Placement credits in lieu of course work.
Further information may be obtained by consulting the Advanced Placement booklet in the high school
counseling office, or by contacting the Director of Admission.

International Baccalaureate
Drury University affirms the intellectual rigor of the International Baccalaureate (IB) diploma program in
distinct and tangible ways. The programs depth and breadth of focus, commitment to serious scholarship
and global perspectives mirrors the values central to the mission of Drury University.
In recognition of the challenging character of the IB Diploma program, successful baccalaureate recipients
will receive college credit according to the following guidelines.
Score Minimum Credit Hours

28 30 credit hours
27 25 credit hours
26 20 credit hours
25 15 credit hours
24 10 credit hours
Credit will initially be awarded as elective credit, with specific course equivalents designated in
consultation with department chairs and the university registrar. In most cases, a mark of 4 (HL) or 5 (SL)
on a subject area test will warrant credit for specific equivalencies.
For those not completing the diploma program, credit may still be awarded for satisfactory scores on
individual subject tests.

Credit by Proficiency Examination
Superior students may, at any time, apply to the head of any department for permission to take a
proficiency examination covering the subject matter of any course in that department listed in the catalog
provided that they are not enrolled in that course and have not completed a more advanced course in
that field. Students are normally required to register for the course before the examination is taken. This
examination is open to regularly enrolled students to whom the regulations regarding tuition and fees
apply. For students taking less than 12 hours, an examination fee of $5 is charged in addition to the usual
tuition fees.
71
CLEP Computer-based Testing
Drury University participates in the Computer-Based Examination Program. Credit is awarded for
completion of CLEP general and subject examinations.
To receive credit, students must complete the general examinations prior to completion of 30 semester
hours of university work. The university will not recognize or award CLEP test credits when current or
previous coursework overlaps with the subject of the CLEP test(s). Scaled scores that result in 6 hours
credit for each general exam (total possible credits: 30 hours) follow:
English Composition 50
(with or without essay) A student receiving credit for this exam should not enroll for ENGL 150.
Humanities 50
College Mathematics 50
Credit for this exam does not transfer as credit for MATH 100 or MATH 101; students receive elective
credit in Mathematics.
Natural Sciences 50
Credit for this exam transfers as elective credit in these areas; credit awarded does not count toward a
degree requirement.
Social Sciences and History 50

Each student submitting a CLEP score will be notified of credit awarded. No partial credit is awarded.
CLEP subject examinations may be completed at any time prior to attaining a senior classification if a
student has not previously completed a college-level course equal to, or more advanced than, the subject
of examination. Because not all subject exams offered are appropriate to Drury degree programs, an
agreement must be made with the concerned department chair and a prior determination made as to how
completion of the exam will apply toward degree requirements. Subject exams approved for credit must
have a test score equal to or greater than 50.
A native speaker (defined as a person who has graduated from high school or higher in the target
language) may not receive credit through the CLEP exam in their native language.
72
Winter Term and May Term
The winter term and the May term are shortened periods of special experiential study that supplement
the educational experience of our regular fall and spring semesters. These terms are an important part of
the universitys academic programs. It should be understood that activities and credits in the winter and
May terms are highly restricted because of the time frame. The activities of the short terms typically
include:
1. International travel that provides students with experiences in a different culture as part of their
total educational preparation.
2. Domestic travel courses that broaden the students view of the United States.
3. Special courses offered in conjunction with the travel course. An example is language study
offered in the country where the language is spoken.
4. Independent studies, practical and/or special internships that give students the opportunity for
learning experiences outside the boundaries of the campus classroom.
Registration for either the May or winter terms is limited to three hours per term. Information regarding
tuition charges for short terms is available in the Registrars Office. Travel courses result in widely variable
charges that are typically paid by the student well in advance of the experience. Visiting or unclassified
students would pay trip charges plus tuition. There will be an additional charge for room and board during
the short terms.
Summer Session
The university offers a limited program of courses in the summer. The summer session is designed for
those who wish to accelerate their study, for teachers who desire additional training for their profession,
and for those who may desire to take advantage of the opportunities for cultural and educational
enrichment during the summer months. The maximum credit possible for summer is 13 semester hours.
73
Academic Integrity
As members of an academic community, faculty and students are committed to maintaining high ethical
standards. Academic misconduct undermines the educational goals of the university and is a serious
offense. Students and faculty are required to act honestly and with integrity in their academic pursuits.
Examples of academic misconduct include, but are not limited to, the following:
Copying from another students exam and/or work of any nature.
Allowing one student to copy from anothers exam.
Using unauthorized aids (such as formulas, a computer, calculator or other unauthorized materials
and/or devices) for an in-class exam, take-home exam or other work.
Obtaining and/or using unauthorized material, such as a copy of an exam before it is given.
Giving or receiving answers by use of signals during an exam.
Having someone else take your exam.
Altering answers on a score test and submitting it for a re-grade.
Destroying, damaging or stealing another students work.
Plagiarism is a particular kind of academic misconduct in that one person takes another persons ideas,
words or images and falsely presents them as his or her own. If a student submits any work that is not
entirely his or her own, the student is plagiarizing.
Examples of plagiarism include, but are not limited to, the following:
Directly quoting the words of others, published or not, without properly using quotation marks or
indented format to identify them.
Using sources without proper citations.
Paraphrasing materials or ideas of others without properly crediting the sources.
Submitting purchased (or otherwise acquired) papers as your own work.
Submitting for a grade a paper or project that has already received a grade in another course.
Students who are in any doubt about the proper forms of citation and attribution of authorities and
sources are expected to discuss the matter in advance with the faculty members for whom they are
preparing assignments. Lack of intent does not excuse academic misconduct.
The authority and responsibility for making decisions regarding academic dishonesty and its penalties lie
with the faculty member in the course involved, the department head, the Office of Academic Affairs, the
academic affairs committee and the president of the university.
The initial judgment regarding both guilt and penalty will be made by the faculty member in the course.
That judgment should be clearly communicated to the student. Faculty members shall notify the
department head and the Office of Academic Affairs of instances of academic dishonesty.
A student who thinks he or she has been unfairly judged by a faculty member in questions of academic
dishonesty may appeal that judgment by contacting the Office of Academic Affairs.
The faculty member is encouraged to keep in mind the seriousness of academic dishonesty and its
relationship to the entire academic community and its intentions. The faculty member will make the initial
judgment regarding the appropriate penalty for academic dishonesty within the following guidelines:
requiring that the assignments in which the offense occurred be redone; failure on the assignment in
74
which the offense occurred; lowering of course grade; failure in the course; and other actions as the
faculty member deems appropriate to a particular case.
All instances of academic dishonesty shall be reported to the Office of Academic Affairs. Faculty members
should have and retain evidence to support their charges of academic dishonesty and be prepared to
present that evidence should a review or an appeal occur.
Review
An offense as documented by the faculty member(s) in question and as reported to the provost may be
considered grounds for dismissal from the university. The provost may request the academic affairs
committee to convene to review the evidence and make a recommendation regarding dismissal. The
provost will make the final decision regarding dismissal; that decision may be appealed to the president of
the university.
Appeals
Due process and the rights of students will be observed throughout this procedure. Records of academic
dishonesty as reported by the faculty will be kept in the Office of Academic Affairs. These records will be
destroyed upon the graduation of the student.

Academic Forgiveness Policy
The Academic Forgiveness Policy is designed for the student who experienced poor, often disastrous,
academic results while previously attending Drury University and who can now demonstrate are prepared
to be academically successful in their college experience. A person is eligible to apply for academic
forgiveness when at least five years have elapsed since the concluding date of the candidates last
semester of enrollment at Drury University.
Principles of the Academic Forgiveness Policy apply to all Drury students:

1. Re-enter Drury University and successfully complete at least a minimum of 6 hours with a
minimum GPA of 2.0 in each course.
2. Prior to completion of the second semester of re-entry to Drury, complete an application for
admission to Drury University and apply for Academic Forgiveness. As part of this application,
write a maximum 250-word essay explaining why, academically, you are now prepared to perform
successfully at the college level. Applications should be submitted to the University Registrar.
3. Academic Forgiveness is applied to Drury courses (maximum of 30 semester hours) that have
grade values below 1.7. If a student has more than 30 hours below a 1.7 grade point average, he
or she may select course(s) for academic forgiveness, not to exceed 30 hours. No letter grades will
be removed from the academic record. The courses accepted for academic forgiveness will bear
the notation Academic Forgiveness Granted and marked on the transcript with @. These
courses will then no longer be considered in the grade point average computation. Credit hours
are not earned for courses for which academic forgiveness has been granted (i.e., hours with
passing grades of D are forfeited). Any course for which academic forgiveness is given cannot be
used to fulfill graduation requirements. Academic forgiveness may be granted only one time and is
not revocable.
4. Transcripts will bear a disclaimer. Drury University makes no guarantees as to how certifying
agencies and other higher education institutions, including graduate school and their services,
interpret the transcript of a student utilizing academic forgiveness options.

General Information
The various tuitions and fees are subject to change without prior notice, but Drury University attempts to
inform of such changes as soon as possible.
The various tuition and fee items that are nonrefundable are so noted. Generally, most items are

Students and parents should become familiar with the deferred payment policy of Drury University and
our withdrawal refund policy.
All questions or requests should be addressed to:

How Drury Tuition Is Paid
Educational costs are met by Drury families in three ways:
1. The full cost may be covered by personal or family resources. The total bill is paid in full two
weeks before the start of the semester, or a percentage of the full amount is paid and that balance
is due in accordance with the deferred payment plan.
2. The student may qualify for financial aid that is awarded directly through the university and is
credited to the students bill by Student Financial Services. These kinds of financial aid awards are
made annually and the amount awarded is divided equally between charges for the fall and spring
semesters. Full-time enrollment (12 hours) is required to receive most of the following.
Listed are examples of institutional scholarships and grants that are directly credited to the students bill:
Deans Scholarship
Trustee Scholarship
Phi Theta Kappa Scholarship
Activity Grant
Presidential Scholarship
Endowed Scholarship
After application of the financial aid award, the balance due to the university is the responsibility of the
student or parents and must be paid in full two weeks before the start of the semester, or in accordance
with an agreed upon plan for deferred payment.
The student may receive financial aid from the federal or state government which is paid to Drury
University and applied to the students account. If the application of one or more awards from the federal
or state government creates a credit balance on the students account, the student may be eligible for a
refund.
Federal Pell Grant

Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant
Bright Flight
Federal Perkins Loan
Federal Direct PLUS Loan
Access Missouri Financial Assistance Program
Federal Direct Student Loan
Drury University reserves the right to withdraw part or all of any Drury-funded scholarship if a students
tuition is paid in full or in part by an outside/government agency.
Federal College Work-Study

Students are required to visit the Human Resources office at the beginning of the semester to arrange a
work assignment. On the 15th of each month, beginning September 15, students will receive a work-study
payroll payment for the hours worked after a time record has been approved and submitted by their
supervisor. Students may use this money to make payments on their accounts. Billing for tuition and other
expenses will not be delayed nor can an account be credited because a work-study payment is expected.
83
Explanation of Tuition and Fees
Tuition
The basic charge to cover the general institutional, student services, library and plant operations. Tuition
covers but a portion of these costs that also are supported by generous gifts and grants and endowment
income. Tuition and fees may be charged for certain winter term and May term courses. These charges will
be based on CCPS rates. These courses typically involve travel, and a non-refundable deposit may be
required.
Student Health Fee

Covers the basic cost of operating a student health facility on campus currently under contract with Cox
Medical Center. A part-time physician is available at prescribed hours and a full-time nurse is on duty daily.
Student Fee
An assessment determined in conjunction with the Drury University Student Government Association that
covers a small portion of operating costs of the Findlay Student Center and supports student-sponsored
activities such as the university newspaper, student radio station, concerts, dances, etc.
Technology Fee
The technology fee is used to enhance the infrastructure and applications used by the university.
Part-time Student Tuition and Fees

Covers a portion of the expenditure as listed above for full-time students.
Residential Plans
Covers the cost of housing operations, repairs and maintenance, utilities, contractual food service
operations, etc.
Audit Fee Per Course

A reduced rate of tuition designed for students and members of the community who merely want to take
an undergraduate level course without credit and examinations. The audit fee per course enables the
student to sit in on as many class periods as the student desires in any lecture course on the campus.
Online, blended, studio, laboratory, and activity courses are not conducive to auditing and must be taken
for credit. Any student may take one undergraduate level course per semester as audit on a space-
available basis. The course must be designated as audit by the last day to change the course schedule in
the academic calendar. Prior permission of the instructor is required and students will participate to the
extent determined by the instructor. Audit students will not receive a grade or credit for the course.
Tuition for Semester Credit Hours in Excess of 17 Semester Credit Hours

The full-time tuition for Drury University is predicated on a certain number of courses, available classroom
space and an average student credit hour load that permits graduation within eight semesters of full-time
attendance.
Students who enroll for more than 17 semester credit hours per semester are normally required to pay the
additional per credit hour fee. However, there are certain exceptions to this policy whereby the student
may enroll in certain courses and the additional per credit hour fee is waived. The additional per credit
hour fee is not applicable in the case of certain applied music, communication and theatre activities
courses. A list of these courses is available in the Registrars Office or student financial services.
84
New Student Orientation Fee
Covers the cost of the freshmen orientation program and room and board for the period immediately prior
to the start of the fall semester.
International Student Orientation Fee

Covers the cost of the two-day or four-day international orientation program and room and board for the
period immediately prior to the start of the fall or spring semester.
Drop/Add Fee
A special handling fee designed to cover a portion of the special processing cost for students who wish to
drop or add a course or courses after the prescribed deadline.
Transcript Fee
A charge to cover the cost of processing a request for a certified transcript copy and mailing to prospective
employers and graduate schools. The first transcript received following graduation is free. Unofficial copies
of transcripts for currently enrolled students can be obtained at no charge (for students with no balances).
Late Registration Fee

A special handling charge for students who register after the prescribed registration period each semester.
Admission Deposits
All admitted students must pay a deposit to confirm their plans to attend Drury. For commuting students
the deposit is $100 which will be credited to the students account. Residential students pay $300; $100 is
a tuition deposit and $200 is a housing deposit. The tuition and housing deposits are fully refundable until
May 1 for the fall semester or December 1 for the spring semester.
Applied Music Fees

Covers the direct cost of providing individual music lessons and associated recitals in our music program.
85
Scholarships: The Basics
Drury has an extensive scholarship program designed to acknowledge those students who have
demonstrated academic excellence, leadership or other special abilities, regardless of need.
To be considered for these awards, students must meet the specific requirements for individual
scholarships or awards. We encourage all scholarship applicants to submit a Free Application for Federal
Student Aid (FAFSA). Students are advised to submit application for scholarships and awards early in their
senior year of high school as funding for these programs is limited.
Drury University and NCAA policies prohibit students who receive athletic awards from receiving other
countable aid. This includes, but is not limited to, Diversity Scholarships and Residential Scholarships.
Scholarships that are awarded by Drury University are funded by an endowment of the University. The
Office of Alumni and Development will contact you at a later date to write an acknowledgment letter to
the donor. Acceptance of any award constitutes a students agreement to write an acknowledgement
letter at the Universitys request.
All academic scholarships will be renewed annually providing that all scholarship requirements are met.
Trustee, Presidential, and Deans Scholarship recipients must maintain satisfactory academic progress at
all times and be in good academic standing with the University. If the above criteria are met and the
student has carried a full load each semester (minimum 12 hours), the award will be renewed at the end
of each academic year for a maximum of four years of college or completion of the bachelors degree,
whichever is first (except accounting and architecture degree candidates, who are in a five-year program).
Students must be registered for a minimum of 12 hours as of the 100% charge date in each semester to
receive their scholarship(s) for that semester. No exceptions to this policy shall be made.
Drury University reserves the right to withdraw part or all of any Drury-funded scholarship if a students
tuition is paid in full or in part by an outside/government agency. Any new information received that
would impact a students financial aid awards will be evaluated, and the University reserves the right to
make adjustments to the students aid package or awards.
86
Scholarships Available
Scholarships are available to new students entering Drury University. Students must be enrolled full-time
(12 hours or more per semester) to be awarded Drury scholarships. Drury scholarships may not exceed
the cost of tuition. No exceptions to this policy shall be made.
Drury University offers a number of academic scholarships recognizing a students academic achievements
as well as performance and athletic opportunities. To receive full consideration for all scholarships,
students should be admitted by December 1. Academic scholarships do not increase after a student has
begun enrollment.
Eligibility for Drury Endowments and Scholarships

Students must be classified as full-time students as of the 100% charge date in each semester to receive
any financial assistance funded by Drury University. Drury endowments and scholarships are limited to
full-time, undergraduate day school students only. Drury scholarships may not exceed the cost of tuition.
Separate financial aid arrangements are available for students enrolled in the College of Continuing
Professional Studies. Drury scholarships and grants cannot be applied to off-campus enrichment programs,
consortium agreements or foreign study other than at Drury University Center on the island of Aigina,
Greece, and Regents College in London and other foreign institutions with which Drury has formalized
enrollment agreements. Drury scholarships and financial aid are available to the student during this
semester except for activity grants, work-study, residential scholarships, or any other scholarships which
may be restricted to on-campus experiences.
Drury University reserves the right to withdraw part of all of any Drury funded scholarship is a students
tuition is paid in full or part by an outside/government agency.
Scholarship Policy For Spring Semester Applicants

Availability of need-based assistance is limited for students who enroll in the spring semester. Those who
qualify may receive the Pell Grant and Direct Loan. Application should be made well in advance of the
beginning of classes.
There are some scholarships available to students who enroll in the spring semester. Academic
scholarships may be granted to spring applicants on a waiting-list basis. No actual scholarship funds will be
awarded for the spring semester. While notice of the award is made during the spring, funding does not go
into effect until the following fall semester. In order to receive this assistance in the fall, the student must
achieve the required academic standing during the spring. The policy regarding awarding scholarships to
spring applicants is subject to change without notice if funding becomes unavailable.
87
Scholarship Policy for Student Athlete Activity Grants
A Drury student who is identified as a student athlete and who has been awarded an activity grant based
on athletic ability will not be eligible to receive Drury University funded scholarships or financial aid
awards that include, but are not limited to, the Diversity Scholarships, Residential Scholarship, and outside
awards in which the major criterion is athletic ability.
A student athlete is not eligible for the aforementioned awards, or for any other types of financial aid that
are considered countable aid as defined by the NCAA. A student also forfeits his or her right to receive
these awards should they no longer be identified as a student athlete. Student athletes are advised to
contact their respective head coach for details regarding athletic activity grants.
Drury has approved this policy to help facilitate the universitys compliance effort to enforce NCAA rules
and regulations regarding financial aid (NCAA Bylaw, Article 15).
88
Financial Aid: The Basics
Overview
Financial aid up to the full cost of attendance may be awarded without respect to a students need by use
of certain academic and activity scholarships. Much of Drurys financial aid, however, is awarded on the
basis of student need. A students aid package may consist of federal and state grants, work-study (in
which a student is paid for a campus job), loans, a variety of Drury scholarships and grants and any outside
scholarships awarded to the student. Drury scholarships and grants cannot be applied to off-campus
enrichment programs or foreign study other than at Drury University Center on the island of Aigina,
Greece, and Regents College in London and at other international institutions with which Drury has
formalized exchange agreements. Please contact the Study Abroad Office for information regarding
specific programs.
Every effort will be made to provide students accepted to Drury sufficient financial aid to enable them to
attend. Students living in campus housing may receive financial aid to cover tuition, room, board and fees,
but the financial aid in aggregate will not exceed cost of attendance which is separately determined.
Students not living in campus housing may receive financial aid to cover tuition and fees, but, again, the
amount of aid in aggregate will not exceed cost of attendance.
The FAFSA
Students wishing to file for financial assistance at Drury University must complete the Free Application for
Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The FAFSA serves as the application for grant programs and loan programs.
The FAFSA can be filed online at www.fafsa.gov.
The FAFSA is a universal financial aid application of all colleges/universities nationwide. The FAFSA will be
processed by the Federal Processing Agency (U.S. Department of Education). When filed, the student will
receive a Student Aid Report (SAR) that he or she must review for accuracy. The Financial Aid Office cannot
make an official financial aid award to a student until the students electronic Institutional Student
Information Report (ISIR) has been received by the university. Applicants should complete the form
electronically before February 1 of each year.
Note: Answer all FAFSA questions accurately and completely to avoid delays in processing that might
affect the amount of aid it is possible to receive. Read instructions carefully; this application is the
cornerstone of the financial aid search.
Determination of Need
Each year, a formula for determining need is established by the government. The information the student
and family provide on the FAFSA is analyzed according to this formula to arrive at an Expected Family
Contribution (EFC). The difference between the students EFC and the cost of attendance at Drury is the
amount of need-based financial aid for which the student may be eligible.
A financial aid award package will be sent to the student. The award package will include a list of the kinds
and amounts of aid that can be offered. The student should study this list carefully and accept all awards
by the established deadlines. Awards that are not accepted by the established deadline will be cancelled.
Eligibility of International Students

Government-based financial assistance in the form of loans and grants is not available for students who
are not citizens or permanent resident visa holders of the United States or its possessions. The university
does not provide institutional need-based assistance.
89
It is important for prospective students to become informed of the full costs of attending Drury and living
in the United States for the duration of their studies. The university and the U.S. government require that
students document their ability to cover their financial obligations to the university in addition to their
estimated personal and living expenses. The university can only grant admission and issue the Form I-20
(required to apply for an F-1 student visa) to those individuals who submit adequate financial
documentation. The university confirms all financial documentation directly through the issuing financial
institution before granting admission. Likewise, the U.S. Embassy can only issue student visas to those
individuals who submit acceptable financial documentation.
90
Alumni Audit
Graduates of Drury bachelors degree programs may register on an audit basis for one undergraduate
course per term without paying the audit fee. This option is offered on a space-available basis and after
the registration of degree-seeking students is complete. Audit is available on seated lecture courses only.
Online, blended, studio, laboratory, and activity courses are excluded from this program. Drury graduates
who wish to exercise this option must have no outstanding financial debts to the university. To register,
students should submit an enrollment form and an Alumni Auditor Tuition Grant Application form to the
Registrars Office. This audit grant covers the cost of tuition for the course; books, student fees,
technology fees, and other special fees are excluded.
91
Drury University Policies Regarding Financial Aid
Renewal Of Financial Aid
Academic scholarships awarded without respect to need (except as noted below) will be renewed
annually, provided that students make satisfactory academic progress, remain in good academic standing
with the University, and maintain full-time enrollment each semester. Academic standing will be checked
at the end of each spring semester to determine eligibility for scholarship renewal.
Financial aid awarded on the basis of need will be renewed annually, on a first-come, first-served basis,
provided that students reapply and are not on academic probation. Students who do not file the FAFSA
will lose eligibility for need-based funding from the institution, and from the federal and state
governments.
A student who loses an academic scholarship may be considered for other financial aid if he or she is not
otherwise on academic probation.
A student who receives financial aid on the basis of need (federal and/or state financial assistance) and
who is on academic probation at the end of a year (spring semester) is not eligible to receive state and
federal grants and all Drury scholarships and grants while on probation. If such a student continues to
attend and subsequently is removed from academic probation, he or she will be considered again for
financial aid. All students receiving any type of federal and/or state financial assistance (Title IV Funds)
must make satisfactory academic progress each academic year, and must meet all federal requirements to
continue receiving aid. A copy of the satisfactory academic progress statement is available on the Financial
Aid website.
Any student admitted on academic probation will not be eligible for financial aid until such time as he or
she is removed from probation.
92
Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) Policy
This policy is effective with the fall 2011 semester.
Federal regulations require Drury University to establish a satisfactory academic progress (SAP) policy to
ensure all students receiving financial aid are making reasonable progress towards completing their
degree. Students who repeatedly fail to make progress will be suspended from receiving financial aid.
Title IV aid recipients must meet the requirements of both university policies related to academic standing,
as well as Title IV requirements for Satisfactory Academic Progress. This policy applies equally to all
students, regardless of enrollment level, degree program, or academic pursuit.
Satisfactory academic progress is defined as passing a minimum of 67% of attempted courses in a degree
program (quantitative assessment), and achieving a required grade point average (GPA) during a
reasonable period of time (qualitative assessment). Academic records of financial aid recipients are
reviewed at the end of each semester in which they are enrolled to determine academic progress.
These standards apply only to a students eligibility for federal financial aid. Refer to the academic policies
of Drury University for academic policies that apply to all students regardless of whether they are receiving
financial aid.
Pace and Maximum Timeframe Requirements (Quantitative Assessment)

Calculated by dividing the cumulative number of credit hours the student has successfully
completed by the cumulative number of credit hours attempted.
In order to graduate within the maximum timeframe allowed, students must successfully complete
67% of the cumulative courses they have attempted.
Only courses in which the student receives academic credit count towards completed hours.
Students in any academic or degree program are no longer eligible for financial aid once they have
attempted more than 150% of the credits required for the major in which they are currently
enrolled. For example, if a bachelors degree requires 124 credit hours, the limit for maximum
attempted hours eligible for financial aid would be 186.
Overall Grade Point Average (GPA) Requirement

Cumulative GPA requirements for Drury students are listed below. Notification of probation serves as a
warning that a student is not maintaining the required GPA level.
Hours Earned Minimum GPA Required
0 29 1.6
30 59 1.8
60 or above 2.0
Withdrawals, Repeats and Incomplete Grades

Courses dropped after the drop/add period will count towards attempted hours.
Repeat courses for which the student has previously earned credit will not count towards hours
completed. However, they will count towards hours attempted even if credit was not previously
earned. The highest grade will be the grade that counts towards the GPA calculation.
Credit hours for courses for which an incomplete or deferred grade is granted will not count as
hours completed but will count towards hours attempted.
93
Transfer Hours
Transfer courses accepted by Drury University are included when calculating SAP as credits attempted and
credits earned.
Academic Forgiveness
Academic Forgiveness will not be applicable when reviewing academic progress for financial aid eligibility.
This includes overall GPA and SAP requirements.
Academic Suspension
Students under academic suspension are not eligible to receive financial aid and are not eligible to appeal
until they have been reinstated to the University. Reinstatement to the University does not guarantee
financial aid eligibility or appeal approval.
Automatic Termination of Aid Eligibility

Failure to meet either qualitative or quantitative requirements of satisfactory academic progress will result
in automatic termination of aid eligibility for Title IV, HEA programs, unless the student is placed on
financial aid warning status, or has successfully appealed to be placed on financial aid probation.
Appeal Process
Students will be notified at the end of each semester if they are not meeting SAP requirements
and they will have the opportunity to complete a financial aid appeal.
The first appeal places the student on financial aid warning status and they are eligible to receive
Title IV aid for one payment period.
A second appeal places a student on financial aid probation and they must complete the appeal
process again with supporting documentation.
Students who were placed on financial aid probation, but who successfully appeal, are eligible to
receive Title IV aid for an additional semester but must meet stipulations outlined in the appeal
decision (e.g., limited hours or repeating course to raise GPA).
If a student is making progress on their academic plan but is still below the SAP requirements, a
student can be granted extended probation status and continue to receive financial aid as long as
appeal stipulations are being met. Failure to make progress and/or failure to follow the academic
plan will result in an appeal being denied and loss of financial aid eligibility.
Extenuating circumstances include (but are not limited to) the death of a family member, illness or
injury, or other circumstances beyond the students control. Appropriate supporting
documentation of the circumstance must be provided. Students may not use the same
extenuating circumstance for multiple appeals without sufficient documentation of ongoing
issues.
Appeals must include a statement from the student explaining why they did not meet the SAP
requirements, what has changed to allow them to meet the requirements in the next semester, an
academic plan completed by the student and the advisor, and a statement from the advisor.
Students who have reached the maximum timeframe due to switching majors, second majors or
additional degrees, will be evaluated on a case by case basis through the appeal process.
Incomplete appeals will not be reviewed.
Students will receive written notification of the need to appeal, the appeal decision, and
subsequent financial aid eligibility via their Drury email address.
Students who fail to meet SAP requirements for three consecutive semesters may no longer be
eligible to receive financial aid.
94
Reestablishing Eligibility
Students may also reestablish eligibility by enrolling in one or more semesters and successfully completing
the course(s) without the assistance of financial aid. When a students satisfactory academic progress
meets both qualitative and quantitative measures outlined in this policy and has achieved good academic
standing with the University, he or she will once again become eligible to receive financial aid.
95
Financial Aid: Government Assistance Available
Grants
Grants are gifts of money. They are based on financial need and the student never has to repay them.
Federal Pell Grant

Pell is a federal grant program. Awards are determined by a students EFC and need. Those who qualify
can receive up to the maximum amount established by the federal government. There is a limit to the
amount of Pell Grant a student can receive, up to the equivalent of six years of full time enrollment.
SEOG (Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant)

SEOG is also a federal grant program. Students must be eligible to receive a Pell Grant in order to qualify
for an SEOG grant. Funds are limited, and award amounts depend on funding levels established each year
by the federal government.
Access Missouri Financial Assistance Program

Administered by the State of Missouri, students must meet all requirements for this award as established
by the Missouri Department of Higher Education. Students should contact the Missouri Department of
Higher Education to determine eligibility for this award, as final eligibility rulings are determined by the
State.
Loans
Loans are available to students and/or their parents to assist in paying for college expenses. A student
must repay the loan after graduation or withdrawal. Before agreeing to a loan, a student should carefully
review all terms and conditions of the loan, interest rates, and the amount of monthly payments.
Federal Direct Student Loan

These loans are available to almost any student regardless of financial need. The federal government
determines loan limits based on a students dependency status on the FAFSA and the number of credit
hours previously completed. The loan interest rate is subject to change, as established by the federal
government. Application must be made through Drury University. Loans cannot exceed the cost of
attendance minus other financial aid.
This loan program represents an agreement between the university student and the U.S. Department of
Education. Loan monies may not be released to the student until the student is fully charged. The loan will
be wire-transferred from the Department of Education to the students account as early as the fourth
week of school. After the fourth week of classes, the college will automatically generate and send a refund
to Bank Mobile for any loan monies in excess of the students account balance. Any change in enrollment
may result in a recalculation of loan eligibility, and the student may be responsible for returning funds to
Drury.
Subsidized direct loans are available based on financial need that is determined by a federal formula and
the FAFSA. A loan is subsidized when the government pays the interest during the following periods:
While enrolled in school at least half-time;
During the six-month grace period after attending school less than half-time;
During periods of authorized deferment.
Unsubsidized direct loans are not based on financial need and may be available to students who file a
FAFSA, regardless of income. Since this loan is not subsidized by the government, the student is
96
responsible for all interest that accrues during in-school, grace and deferment periods. The student may
choose to make interest payments while in school or may defer (and accumulate) the interest until
repayment.
Direct subsidized and unsubsidized loans may be prorated under certain conditions. Prorated loan limits
are used when a borrowers remaining period of enrollment, until completion of his or her academic
program, is less than an academic year in length.
Federal Direct Plus Loan Program (PLUS)

Parents of dependent undergraduates may be eligible to borrow money for their childrens educational
expenses under this program. Loans are certified by the school and approved by the Department of
Education. These loans carry an interest rate that is variable, not to exceed 8.5 percent. The amount of this
loan may not exceed the students cost of attendance minus other aid. Repayment begins 60 days after
disbursement of the loan, unless a deferment is granted.
Student Employment on Campus
Federal Work Study Program: This program provides a work opportunity for full-time undergraduate day
school students who demonstrate a financial need. Unlike other types of financial aid, work study is paid
directly to the student after it is earned in a work study job, and it is the students responsibility to use
those funds to pay down any balance he or she may have. Students may view and apply for jobs online at
www.drury.edu/studentjobs. Students are encouraged to apply for community service jobs and/or those
that relate best to their course of study.
Other Student Employment Opportunities: A variety of campus jobs are available for full-time
undergraduate day school students. Students may view and apply for jobs online at
www.drury.edu/studentjobs.
For more information about available positions and employment eligibility, contact Human Resources at
hrstudent@drury.edu. For questions regarding eligibility for work study, contact Financial Aid at
fa@drury.edu.
97
Official Withdrawal/Refund Policy
Students who withdraw from courses will be allowed a refund of tuition according to the schedule below.
All refunds are calculated from the date the application for withdrawal is filed with the registrar. No other
notice will suffice. Nonattendance of classes does not constitute official withdrawal. Applicable refunds for
students receiving federal and/or state financial aid will be calculated in reference to the students date of
notification of withdrawal, last date of academic attendance or the midpoint of the period.
The responsibility for initiating and completing the withdrawal process with appropriate university offices
rests with the student. The first day of classes constitutes the beginning of the semester for tuition refund
purposes. For courses that are scheduled out of sequence of the regular fall, winter, spring and summer
semesters, the day published as the first day of the semester or term constitutes the beginning of the
course for tuition refund purposes.
During the Fall and Spring semesters, Full Semester and A Block students are free to make any changes to
their course schedule in accordance with policies and deadlines established by the Registrars Office each
year. At of the end of this period, students are charged the full amount for the courses (or course load) in
which they are enrolled. This remains the case if a student withdraws from a course with a "W.
During the Fall and Spring semesters, B Block students are free to make any changes to their course
schedule in accordance with policies and deadlines established by the Registrars Office each year. At the
end of this period, students are charged the full amount for the courses (or course load) in which they are
enrolled. This remains the case if a student withdraws from a course with a W.
During Summer Semester, Full Semester, A Block, and B Block students are free to make any changes to
their schedule in the first week of each term. At of the end of this period, students are charged the full
amount for the courses (or course load) in which they are enrolled. This remains the case if a student
withdraws from a course with a "W."
During all other course dates, no refunds are available after the course has commenced.
If a student has an unpaid account with the university, any tuition refund due from withdrawal will be
applied to such unpaid accounts.
Each year the university publishes a calendar guide for institutional refunds and complies with the Return
of Title IV Funds policy for federal programs. Students should become familiar with the guide each
semester or term, and must remember that credit courses that are less than a regular term in duration
follow the refund schedule for the full semester or term in which they are taught, regardless of the start
date of instruction. The refund policy for noncredit conferences, institutes, seminars and community
services courses is a 100 percent refund if the official withdrawal occurs prior to the first day of
instruction.
98
Return of Title IV Funds Policy
Withdrawals and the Return of Title IV Funds
Drury University encourages all students to carefully consider the financial and academic ramifications of
withdrawing from any coursework. Federal financial aid regulations require the Financial Aid Office to
perform a Return to Title IV recalculation for federal* financial aid eligibility for students who withdraw,
drop out, are dismissed, fail to begin enrollment in, or take a leave of absence (and do not return) prior to
completing 60 percent of a semester. Students who have completed 60% of the semester have earned
their full federal aid eligibility for that term, but a Return to Title IV calculation will still be processed to
determine the students eligibility for a post-withdrawal disbursement.
If a student wishes to withdraw from a course or courses, the student should contact the Registrars Office
or the branch campus coordinator. Failure to begin attendance in a course does not constitute a formal
withdrawal from a course, and students may still incur charges for that course if it is not formally dropped.
If the Financial Aid Office becomes aware that a student does not begin attendance in a course in which he
or she is enrolled, financial aid eligibility will be recalculated according to actual enrollment. The student
will not be formally withdrawn from the course unless he or she follows the appropriate steps to do so.
If a student officially withdraws from Drury University, the students withdrawal date will be determined
by the later of: a. the date the student initiated the withdrawal, or b. the date the student provided official
notification to the institution of the intention to withdraw. The institutions determination of the date that
the student has withdrawn is the date that the student officially withdraws.
If a student unofficially withdraws (ceases attending), the students withdrawal date will be determined by
the date of the students last attendance at an academically related activity. Faculty members report
students who cease attending classes, as well as the last date of attendance at an academically related
activity, for the purpose of unofficial withdrawals. Students who attend a sufficient number of
academically related activities to earn a grade of F in a course will not be considered unofficial withdraws.
If a student is administratively withdrawn, or withdraws due to circumstances beyond the students
control, the date of the action or circumstance will be used.
The institutions determination of the date that the student has withdrawn is the date that the school
becomes aware the student has ceased attendance.
A student who previously indicated an intent to withdraw may rescind that intention in writing.
However, students who unofficially withdraw during a semester will be subject to a Return to Title IV
calculation. Any unearned funds that were disbursed must be returned within 30 days, and the student
will probably owe a balance to Drury. If a student is determined to be eligible for additional aid at the time
of unofficial withdrawal, Drury University will process a post-withdrawal disbursement, in accordance with
United States Department of Education regulations.
Recalculation of federal aid is based on the percent of earned aid using the following formula:
Percent earned = Number of days completed up to withdrawal date divided by total days in the
semester
Federal financial aid is returned to the federal government based on the percent of unearned aid using the
following formula:
Aid to be returned = (100% minus percent earned) times the amount of aid disbursed
99
Aid will be returned in the following order: Unsubsidized Loans, Subsidized Loans, Perkins Loan, Direct
PLUS Loans, Pell Grant, FSEOG, TEACH Grant, Iraq Afghanistan Service Grant; or as required by the United
States Department of Education. Funds will be returned as soon as possible but no later than 45 days after
the date of the institutions determination that the student withdrew.
When aid is returned, the student may owe an outstanding balance to the university. The student should
contact the Financial Services Office to make arrangements to pay the balance.
*Federal financial aid includes, but is not limited to, the Federal Pell Grant, Iraq Afghanistan Service Grant,
SEOG Grant, Perkins Loan, Direct Student Loan and Direct Parent PLUS Loan.
100
Benefits
Benefits are funds extended to certain groups of people under special conditions.
VA Benefits
Students may be eligible to receive educational assistance under a number of programs offered by the
Veterans Administration. Programs include the GI Bill, Selected Reserve, Survivors and Dependents
Benefits and Vocational Rehabilitation. A VA representative is available on the Drury campus to help
determine eligibility and establish benefits.
Private Company Benefits

Check with employers to see if they have a program of educational benefits for employees or employees
children.
101
Scholarships from Outside Sources
Many agencies, civic groups, churches and even employers give various forms of financial aid directly to
the student. It is the students responsibility to use this assistance to meet the expected payment dates.
Many employers provide a generous program of reimbursement for educational expense, but payment to
the student usually is made after successful completion of coursework and not at the beginning of the
semester. The student is responsible for paying for coursework according to established payment dates.
Drury University reserves the right to withdraw part of all of any Drury-funded scholarship if a students
tuition is paid in full or in part by an outside/government agency.
102
Receiving and Keeping Financial Aid
Rule 1: Apply early. Students should begin by filing the FAFSA and reviewing all published scholarship and
financial aid deadlines.
Rule 2: Keep financial aid documentation up to date. Not only must application be made in time for an
award to be made, but the award must be claimed by the student. The award notice provided to the
student must be accepted or declined according to established deadlines. Deadlines for claiming aid are
stringently observed.
Priority for Financial Aid

Financial aid is awarded on a rolling basis with the date of receipt of financial aid applications determining
the order of award until available funds are exhausted, after which students will be considered for
financial aid as funds become available according to their academic and personal promise.
Time of Notification of Financial Aid Awards

The Financial Aid Office will not send an official letter of award to new students until such time as the
student is admitted to Drury University in good academic standing.
Award of Endowed Scholarships

Unrestricted and endowed scholarships will be awarded as early as possible in developing student aid
packages so that donors may be notified of the student receiving the award. Acceptance of any endowed
scholarship constitutes the students agreement to write a letter of acknowledgement to the donor.
103
Note to Students Receiving VA Educational Benefits
Minimum Standards for Veterans Education
Veterans or eligible people must be formally admitted during the first semester enrolled and must
maintain a 2.0 GPA for all courses counted toward graduation. If at any time a veterans or eligible
students GPA falls below 2.0, they will be placed on scholastic probation for one semester. If at the end of
that semester the veteran or eligible student has raised their GPA to 2.0 or better, they will no longer be
on scholastic probation. In the event that after the probationary period, the veteran or eligible student did
not bring their GPA to 2.0 or better, they will be discontinued from receiving further educational benefits
from the Veterans Administration. The only exception: If, after being placed on scholastic probation, the
veteran or eligible student achieves a 2.0 GPA for the probationary period, but has not raised the GPA
total to 2.0 or better, they will be allowed to continue as long as he or she can achieve a 2.0 average per
semester (except when the veteran or eligible student cannot graduate in the 124 semester hours period
with a 2.0 GPA or better).
Information You Should Know about VA Benefits

Punitive (Failing) grade: A grade assigned for pursuit of a course that indicates unacceptable coursework
and no credit granted toward graduation for that pursuit. Although this type of grade results in no credit, it
is distinguished from a non-punitive grade by the fact that it is considered in determining overall progress
toward graduation, in that a penalty is exacted on a school graduation requirement, such as grade point
average.
Drop-add period: If an eligible veteran or person withdraws from a course after the drop-add period,
receives a non-punitive grade for that course and mitigating circumstances are not found, benefits for that
course will be terminated effective the first date of enrollment.
The VA representative must be notified if an eligible veteran or person has any changes in enrollment
status during a certified period of enrollment.
104
Deferred Payment Policy
It is the intention of Drury University to provide the means for students to pay tuition and fees over time.
Drury University has partnered with Bank Mobile to make the payment plan process easier for students
and their families. When you sign up for the payment plan determines how many months you have to pay
off your account balance. Please contact Student Financial Services for details on payment methods and
dates.
A new Payment Plan agreement must be completed for each semester in which you register. If you
change your registration, please DO NOT create a second payment plan. Your payment plan will adjust
based on your registration.
Availability of the Payment Plan is determined by Drury University. The University may elect to not have
the Payment Plan available during specific times and dates during registration. Plan Available dates are
subject to change.
Any balance not covered by an approved payment plan will be assessed interest at one percent per month
on the unpaid balance, or 12 percent per annum. Any collection cost or legal fees incurred in collecting an
account will be the responsibility of the student.
105
Student Billings
Student statements are available online through MyDrury. If a paper statement is needed, please contact
studentfs@drury.edu.
Explanation of Student Billing

It is extremely important that parents and students understand the need to meet financial obligations
associated with being a student at Drury University. When these obligations are not met in the manner
expected, the university must borrow for its operations. The interest expense for that borrowing is
ultimately reflected in increased tuition and fees. Quality education is costly to provide and Drury families
must recognize the need for complete compliance with request for payment, financial aid application
deadlines, etc. The business services and financial aid programs of Drury University are designed to assist
students and parents in managing the expense of a quality university education.
Payment Policy
All tuition and fees are due and payable two weeks before the first day of classes. Semester statements
covering tuition and fees are available online through MyDrury. If you need a paper statement mailed,
please email studentfs@drury.edu.
Student account balances that become past due may result in notification from the Director of Business
Services for official withdrawal from classes.
Students with a prior semester balance will not be permitted to register for subsequent semesters. All
delinquent accounts will be assessed interest at one percent per month on the unpaid balance, or 12
percent per annum. Any collection costs (up to 60% charged) or legal fees incurred in collecting an
account will be the responsibility of the student.
Students who have failed to comply with payment policies in any semester may be denied the opportunity
to register for future semesters and may be denied the opportunity to participate in the University
deferred payment plan.
Students should become familiar with the Drury University deferred payment plan and our withdrawal
refund policy.
All questions or requests should be addressed to:

Accounts Receivable Coordinator
Burnham Hall
Drury University
900 N Benton Ave
Or email studentfs@drury.edu.
106
Consequences of Non-Compliance with Payment Policies
We believe that when the importance of timely tuition/fees payment is understood and when parents and
students understand Drurys willingness to arrange an individually appropriate payment plan, it will not be
necessary to penalize students for nonpayment. If charges are not met, however, the university has no
choice but to pursue the steps necessary for resolution. It is only fair to advise students of consequences
of the following actions:
Failure to return financial aid award acceptance by announced deadlines.

Money will be given to another student immediately.
Failure to make initial payment for semester tuition.

Course spaces may be given to another student.
Campus services may not be available.
Failure to meet appropriate payment dates.

The total bill becomes due and payable immediately.
An administrative fee of $40 will be charged for processing a late payment.
Interest at the rate of 12 percent annual effective rate will accrue on the outstanding balance due
from the date of the missed payment until the account is paid in full.
Any collection costs (up to 60% charged) or legal fees incurred in collecting an account will be the
responsibility of the student/parent.
The privilege of deferred payments in subsequent semesters may not be permitted.
Outstanding balance from a previous semester.

Until the balance is paid, the student will not be allowed to:
Register for any subsequent semester.
Obtain a transcript of academic work.
Apply for campus housing.
Participate in graduation ceremonies and obtain a diploma.
Students who have had outstanding balances from a previous semester are required to prepay for course
registration.
107

Study Abroad and International Programs

International Programs seeks to provide opportunities for personal growth and advancement of Drurys
students through long-term and short-term study abroad programs. These programs are continuously
improved and enhanced, and they encourage students to combine their theoretical knowledge with
practical, everyday activities in a foreign country.
Community Outreach and Leadership Development

Community Outreach and Leadership Development encourages Drury students to become more aware of
responsibilities in local and global communities. As Drury students progress through their college careers,
the following programs are designed to expose students to volunteerism.
Students with one year of academic experience can apply to live in Summit Park Leadership Community.
Summit Park Leadership Community engages Drury University students in an experiential learning
environment that focuses on the principles of leadership while incorporating the value of community
service. Student teams focus an entire year of residency to design, organize and implement a project
based on the idea that leadership is a purposive process that is ultimately concerned with fostering
change.
Students who qualify for federal work-study grants are eligible to serve as trained literacy and
mathematics tutors in the Springfield Reads and MATHCOUNTS programs. In a partnership with
neighboring Title 1 public schools and community agencies, Drury University and its students are
dedicated to ensuring every child in the community receives the needed assistance to become successful
in academics.
Leadership and Volunteer Development also sponsors international service experiences during various
short-term study abroad trips. The International Service Experience leads students to become active global
citizens as they volunteer in various initiatives while experiencing another culture.

First-Year Experience
The first-year experience begins with admission to the university, summer registration and an orientation
program in the fall. During these times, every effort is made to help each student develop a sense of what
to expect through contacts with an academic advisor/mentor and upper-class orientation leaders.
Academic and social integration into the university are the keys to a successful first-year experience, and
the first-year experience program supports this effort throughout the first year. Academic and personal
counseling, the mentor classes and group activities, special programming to assist in the transition from
high school to college and the opportunity to be involved in a leadership development program highlight
the first-year experience at Drury. The director of Director of New Student Programs serves as a resource
for all first-year students freshmen, transfer and internationalwho may seek additional assistance
with their transition to Drury University.

Religious Life
Drury University is related both to the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) and the United Church of
Christ. Both church traditions are committed to an expression of faith that affirms intellectual inquiry and
respects the integrity of different religious communities. As a result, all religious life programming at the
college is voluntary and ecumenical. The college chaplain directs a weekly Chow and Chapel series,
coordinates religious groups on campus, provides a forum for the discussion of religious and moral
questions and encourages student involvement in community service. Drury students are invited to
participate in a local religious community of their choice.
117

Policies and Procedures
Health Insurance
Drury University requires all students to have proof of medical insurance coverage on file in the dean of
students office. If students do not provide proof of insurance, they may be enrolled in a health insurance
plan by the university.
Failure to provide proof of insurance will prohibit students from participating in extracurricular or off-
campus university activities.
We hope that all students enjoy good health while at Drury University; however, illness and accidents are
a reality of life. Recent changes in medical insurance plans (HMOs, PPOs, etc.) make it necessary for
families to examine their insurance coverage before students leave for college. Please check to see if there
are preferred providers for your plan in the Springfield area. The health center nurses are happy to help
make arrangements with these providers when this information is available to them.
All international students enrolled at Drury University are required to purchase the student health plan
offered through the university. A waiver of this requirement can be requested and must be renewed
annually in the fall. A students prior insurance benefits must be equal to or greater than the Drury plan.
Apply annually for a waiver through the ISS office within the first two weeks of the fall semester (or spring
semester for new spring students).
Student Records
In accordance with Public Law 83-380, Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA) the
personally identifiable educational records of each student are open for inspection by the student except
in limited cases where the privacy, confidentiality or professional privilege of another person is involved.
Presently and previously enrolled students should check with the appropriate office to determine the
procedures for inspection of their own records. Records are filed in the offices of the registrar, director of
academic planning, financial aid, career planning and development, student health service and dean of
students. Notwithstanding the above list, certain records are not available for inspection. These include:
financial records of parents, confidential letters of recommendation, personal records of educational
personnel (e.g., instructors grade book), security records and medical or other professional records.
The student has the right to a copy of the record(s) so inspected, with the cost of the reproduction
assessed to the student. The student may challenge an inaccurate record and request a hearing
concerning any alleged inaccuracy. Any challenge must establish by a preponderance of evidence that the
record is inaccurate. If desired, the student may submit a written explanation of a records content, which
then becomes a part of the record.
In the absence of an official request, information contained in the students records remains confidential
between the student and Drury University and will not be released to third parties without the consent of
the student with the following exceptions: information for the university directory, information needed by
Drury officials, information requested by federal or state educational authorities, information released
pursuant to state law of subpoena, information requested by accrediting agencies, academic information
requested by parents of dependent students, information needed in connection with the receipt of
financial aid and information requested by officials of other schools to which the student is seeking
admission.
If a student has reason to believe that his or her records are in any way inaccurate, misleading or
otherwise in violation of the students right to privacy, a hearing may be requested through the Office of
119
Academic Affairs. A review panel will afford the student a full opportunity to present evidence in support
of the challenge and will render a decision within a reasonable time after the hearing.
The university assumes student consent in listing as public information academic honors such as listing the
students name on the deans list or graduation. The student who does not wish his or her name to be
included in recognition of such honors should notify the registrar in writing.
Change of Name, Address, and Marital Status

In order that the university may keep accurate records, students who change their name, marital status, or
local or home address should notify the Registrars Office or the Dean of Students office.
Withdrawal
Students who are considering withdrawing from Drury during the semester (after registration has been
completed and before the last week of classes) should initiate the withdrawal process at the Registrars
Office in Bay Hall. Nonattendance of classes does not constitute official withdrawal.
Medical Withdrawal
Students who are considering a medical withdrawal should contact the Dean of Students office.
Official Leave
Students who wish to interrupt their degree program for a special internship or learning experience
outside the regular curriculum should request, in writing, the permission of the Office of Academic Affairs.
120
Leave of Absence Policy
The availability of a formal leave of absence for Drury University students is limited, and is generally
granted only for academic purposes. To apply and be approved for a leave of absence, students must be in
good standing and plan to return to Drury University within the designated time. The maximum time
allotted for a leave of absence is two semesters. Students who wish to pursue a leave of absence for
academic purposes should begin the application process with the Registrar.
Official withdrawal from the university can also have specific academic and financial implications. Drury
University recommends that students who wish to pursue a withdrawal or leave of absence should consult
with their academic advisor and the Financial Aid Office to better understand his or her individual
situation.
121
Medical Leave/Medical Withdrawal
Students who experience health problems may request a medical leave or medical withdrawal from the
university. A medical leave may be requested for an upcoming semester, or up to and until the last day to
enroll for the semester. After this date, registered students can request a medical withdrawal from classes
up to and until the date that final grades are due.
Such requests must be accompanied by medical documentation from an appropriate medical professional
(i.e., M.D., D.O., Psy.D, LPC), indicating that the leave or withdrawal is recommended. Students should
note that the preparation of this statement will require their formal consent to release of relevant
information from appropriate medical professionals to the university, and for the university to release
relevant information, as needed, to those medical professionals.
If a medical withdrawal is approved, the student will be withdrawn from all classes by the Registrar and
will receive a W on their transcript for each class, so that they receive no credit or grade for these
courses, leaving their GPA unaffected. Students may not withdraw from selected classes, but only from
their entire schedule of coursework.
Students that choose to pursue a medical leave or withdrawal from the university must start the process
with the Vice President for Student Affairs and Dean of Students (Room 201, Findlay Student Center).
Official withdrawal from the university can also have specific financial and academic implications. It is
recommended that students also meet with their academic advisor and the Director of Financial Aid.
Federal and State financial aid regulations do not allow students to be on any type of official leave from
the institution, including medical leave, for more than two consecutive semesters or 180 days, without
applying for re-admission to the university. Therefore, students who are on leave for more than two
semesters will be withdrawn from the university, and must reapply through the Office of Admissions.
Readmitted students have their financial aid re-evaluated at the time of admission, and follow the
Academic Catalog of the year of their readmission, which may change the range of academic programs
they may pursue. A student who wishes to return to campus following a medical leave must furnish the
appropriate documentation from a medical professional, stating that the student has received the
appropriate medical attention and is, in the professionals opinion, ready to resume studies at the
university.
Under certain circumstances, the university may require a student to withdraw from the university for
medical reasons, or take a medical leave of absence. Such action is warranted if, in the judgment of a
team of professional Drury staff members, the student poses a threat to the lives of others or exhibits
behavior that seriously interferes with his or her ability to function and/or with the educational
environment and pursuits of others.
Students who would like to pursue a medical withdrawal or medical leave should start the process with
the Dean of Students. Official withdrawal from the university can also have specific academic and financial
implications. Drury University recommends that students who wish to pursue a withdrawal or leave of
absence should consult with their academic advisor and the Financial Aid Office to better understand his
or her individual situation.

Non-Discrimination/Harassment Policy and Complaint Procedures
Approved by Board of Trustees 5-16-14, Updated 10-1-15, Updated 9-1-16
I. General Statement
Drury University is committed to providing an academic and employment environment in which
students and employees are treated with courtesy, respect, and dignity. Accordingly, the University
prohibits discrimination on the basis of gender, race, color, veteran status, national origin, disability, age,
religion, sexual orientation or any other legally protected characteristic (collectively, protected classes)
in matters of admissions, housing, services, any aspect of the employment relationship, and in the other
educational programs and activities that the University operates (collectively, programs and activities).
Harassment is any unwelcome verbal, non-verbal, or physical conduct that denigrates or shows
hostility or aversion to a person on the basis of a protected class. Harassment that is based on a protected
class constitutes a form of prohibited discrimination when it denies or limits a persons ability to
participate in or benefit from the Universitys programs and activities.
Examples of behaviors that could be deemed harassment as defined above include, but are not
limited to, the following:
Written or verbal abuse or threats
Crude comments, jokes, or innuendo
Taunts or intimidation
Shouting, bullying or ridiculing
Undermining of performance
Offensive phone calls, texts or photos
Touching, hitting or other physical contact
II. Applicability
These complaint procedures are applicable to complaints alleging discrimination and/or
harassment on the basis of a protected class, except those complaints falling under the Title IX: Sexual
Misconduct Policy, and include complaints made by University employees and students against faculty,
staff, students, supervisors, co-workers, or non-employees (such as vendors). All individuals involved in
processing complaints under these procedures will be trained in complaint investigation and are
knowledgeable about the Universitys obligation to comply with Federal laws prohibiting discrimination in
the Universitys programs.
III. Filing a Complaint

harassment on the basis of a protected class may initiate a complaint by filing a written complaint with the
Coordinator - Non-Discrimination/Harassment detailing: (1) the date(s) and time(s) of the alleged conduct;
(2) the names of all persons involved in the alleged conduct, including possible witnesses; (3) pertinent
facts of the incident; and contact information for the complainant so that the University may follow up
appropriately. If the complaint is to be filed against the Coordinator then the complaint should be filed
with one of the Deputy Coordinators specified above.
Administrators, supervisors and faculty members who receive a report or complaint of

discrimination or harassment, or witness what they perceive to be discrimination or harassment, are
mandated to immediately report such information to the Coordinator - Non-Discrimination/Harassment.

Petticoat Lane, 1010 Walnut, Suite 320, Kansas City, Missouri 64106, (816) 268-0550.
124
IV. Good Faith Complaints
Good faith complaints of discrimination and harassment will be investigated under these
procedures. However, knowingly making a false complaint or report is prohibited, and those who do so
will be subject to disciplinary action.
V. Non-Retaliation
Employees and students can make good faith reports and complaints about discrimination and
harassment without fear of reprisal. Retaliation by any person against a person filing a complaint, making
a report, or participating in an investigation is absolutely prohibited and will result in disciplinary action.
VI. Confidentiality
The University endeavors to maintain confidentiality with respect to the complaint and
investigation to the degree that it can be maintained while conducting a thorough investigation, but the
University may be hindered in its ability to investigate a complaint if the person bringing the complaint
requests complete confidentiality.
To enable confidentiality, those processing the complaint and all parties to the investigation must
maintain the confidentiality of information obtained during a complaint, including the name of the person
who filed the complaint and other information received during the processing of the complaint.
VII. Investigation
Drury University will thoroughly and promptly investigate all complaints of discrimination and
harassment. The investigation will be governed by the forthcoming procedures.
A. Commencement of the Investigation

After receiving the complaint, the Coordinator - Non-Discrimination/Harassment will give a copy of
the complaint to the appropriate Deputy Coordinator (as appropriate depending on whether the
respondent is a student, staff member or faculty member) (Investigating Officer) who will review the
complaint and commence an investigation as soon as practicable but not later than seven (7) days after
the complaint is made. During the course of the investigation, the Investigating Officer may consult with
appropriate University personnel and outside counsel.
B. The Content of the Investigation

During the investigation, the complainant will have the opportunity to describe his or her
allegations and present supporting witnesses or other evidence. The respondent will have the opportunity
to respond to the allegations and present supporting witnesses or other evidence. The Investigating
Officer will review the statements and evidence presented and may, depending on the circumstances,
interview others with relevant knowledge, review documentary materials, and take any other appropriate
action to gather and consider information relevant to the complaint. All parties and witnesses involved in
the investigation are expected to cooperate and provide complete and truthful information.
During these conversations with the complainant and respondent, informal resolution methods
may be considered and discussed but the complainant is not required to accept any informal resolution. If
an informal resolution is reached, it will be documented and signed by both parties and the matter will be
deemed resolved.
If the complaint is not resolved informally and the Investigating Officer determines there are
genuinely disputed material facts requiring resolution, an evidentiary hearing will be held before a panel of
three hearing officers selected by the Investigating Officer. The hearing officers will be chosen from a pool
125
of faculty members and staff designated by the President. When a faculty member is the respondent, the
three hearing officers will all be faculty members as well. When a staff member is the respondent, at least
two of the hearing officers must be staff members. When a student is the respondent, at least one of the
hearing officers must be a faculty member. The panel shall select one of its members to preside over the
hearing. The Investigating Officer will identify for the panel those genuinely disputed facts requiring
resolution. The panel will review the statements and other evidence gathered by the Investigating Officer
during the investigation. Both the complainant and respondent will be given an equal opportunity to
address the panel. The panel may ask questions of the complainant and respondent, but the complainant
and respondent will not be permitted to question each other. In its discretion, the panel may hear live
testimony from witnesses, in which case any questioning will be conducted by the hearing panel itself.
The hearing panel shall resolve genuinely disputed material facts under a preponderance of the
evidence standard. The hearing panel will not be bound by strict rules of legal evidence, and may admit
any evidence which is of probative value in determining the issues involved. Every effort will be made to
obtain the most reliable evidence available. The hearing panel will provide a written statement of its
findings of fact to the Investigating Officer. If such an evidentiary hearing is held, both the complainant
and respondent will have similar and timely access to any information that will be used at the hearing.
C. Non-Attorney Support Person For Cases Involving Students

During the investigation process, both a student complainant and a student respondent may ask a
non-attorney support person from the University community to accompany him or her to meetings with
the Investigating Officer and to any evidentiary hearing. The support person must be an administrator,
faculty member, staff member, or fellow student. In cases involving multiple student complainants or
student respondents, the non-attorney support person cannot be another complainant or respondent.
The non-attorney support person does not serve as an advocate on behalf of the complainant or
respondent, and he or she must agree to maintain the confidentiality of the process.
D. Interim Measures
At any time during the investigation, in consultation with the Coordinator - Non-
Discrimination/Harassment, the Investigating Officer may determine that interim remedies or protections
for the parties involved or witnesses are appropriate. These interim remedies may include, but are not
limited to, separating the parties, placing limitations on contact between the parties, suspending an
employee with pay, or making alternative class-placement or workplace arrangements. Failure to comply
with the terms of these interim remedies or protections may constitute a separate violation of the Non-
Discrimination/Harassment Policy.
E. Findings Of The Investigation

At the conclusion of the investigation, the Investigating Officer will prepare a written report. The
written report will explain the scope of the investigation and whether any allegations in the complaint
were found to be substantiated by a preponderance of the evidence. The written report will incorporate
any findings of fact resulting from an evidentiary hearing.
The preliminary report will be submitted to the Coordinator - Non-Discrimination/Harassment.

The Coordinator - Non-Discrimination/Harassment may accept the preliminary report, request to review
additional information, including summaries of party/witness statements or other information, or return
the preliminary report for further investigation. After the review of the written report is complete, the
Coordinator - Non-Discrimination/Harassment will, for both the complainant and respondent, prepare and
deliver a written determination of the complaint. The determination will be one of three outcomes:
126
1. Finding No Violation
If there is a determination that the behavior investigated did not violate the Non-
Discrimination/Harassment Policy, both parties will be so informed.
2. Finding Inappropriate Behavior Not Rising To The Level Of A Violation

There may be a determination that the behavior investigated did not violate the Non-
Discrimination/Harassment Policy, but was inappropriate, unprofessional, or violated some other
University policy. The Coordinator - Non-Discrimination/Harassment may determine that such
inappropriate behavior merits discipline, ongoing monitoring, coaching, or other appropriate action. If so,
the Coordinator - Non-Discrimination/Harassment may refer the matter to any appropriate administrator,
dean or other manager for further proceedings or disciplinary measures consistent with University policy.
3. Finding Violation
If there is a determination that the behavior violated the Non-Discrimination/Harassment Policy,
the Coordinator - Non-Discrimination/Harassment, in consultation with any appropriate administrator,
dean, or other manager, will determine appropriate corrective and disciplinary action to be taken. In
addition, the Coordinator - Non-Discrimination/Harassment will implement reasonable and appropriate
measures to ensure that the complainant is not subject to further harassment and to remedy the effects of
any discrimination or harassment that may have occurred. Remedial steps may include, but are not
limited to, counseling or training, separation of the parties, and/or discipline of the respondent, including
written reprimand, suspension, demotion, termination, or expulsion in accordance with University policy.
Remedial steps that do not directly affect the respondent shall be redacted from the respondents copy of
the written summary of findings.
F. Special Procedure Concerning Complaints Against The President, The Coordinator-

Non-Discrimination/Harassment, and Administrators Senior To Coordinator - Non-
Discrimination/Harassment
If a complaint involves alleged conduct on the part of the University President, the Executive
Committee of the Board of Trustees will designate an appropriate person to conduct the investigation
required by these procedures. The written report of the investigation will be presented to the Executive
Committee of the Board of Trustees, which will prepare and issue the written determination and
implement any appropriate and reasonable measures. The determination issued by the Executive
Committee of the Board of Trustees is final, unless the President or the complainant provides a written
letter of appeal to the full Board of Trustees within ten (10) days of his/her receipt of the Executive
Committees written determination and in accordance with Sections VIII.A. and VIII.B., below. The full
Board of Trustees will issue a resolution on the matter within twenty-one (21) days and the resolution will
be final and not subject to further appeal. The full Board of Trustees shall issue a short and plain, written
statement of the resolution of the appeal. The written statement shall be provided to the complainant,
the President, and the Coordinator Non-Discrimination/Harassment within three (3) days of the
resolution.
If a complaint involves alleged conduct on the part of the Coordinator - Non-

Discrimination/Harassment or any administrator senior to the Coordinator - Non-
Discrimination/Harassment, the President will designate an appropriate person to conduct the
investigation required by these procedures. The written report of the investigation shall be presented to
the President, who will appoint three (3) individuals, chosen from the pool of Deputy Coordinators and
Investigators, to make a determination and prepare and issue the written determination and implement
127
appropriate and reasonable measures. The resolution issued is final, unless the complainant or
respondent provides a written letter of appeal to the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees within
five (3) days of his/her receipt of the written determination and in accordance with Sections VIII.A. and
VIII.B. below. The Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees will issue a resolution on the matter
within twenty-one (21) days and the resolution will be final and not subject to further appeal. The
Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees shall issue a short and plain, written statement of the
resolution of the appeal. The written statement shall be provided to the complainant, respondent, and
the Coordinator - Non-Discrimination/Harassment within three (3) days of the resolution. If the
Coordinator - Non-Discrimination/Harassment is the respondent, a copy of the resolution should also be
given to one of the Deputy Coordinators to ensure it is properly filed.
G. Timing Of The Investigation

The University will endeavor to conclude its investigation and resolution of the complaint within
sixty (60) days of receiving it. Both the complainant and the respondent will be given periodic updates
regarding the status of the investigation. If either the complainant or respondent needs additional time to
prepare or to gather their witnesses or information, they shall notify the Investigating Officer in writing
explaining how much additional time is needed and why it is needed.
H. Rights Of The Parties

During the investigation and resolution of a complaint, the complainant and respondent shall have
equal rights. They include:
Equal opportunity to identify and have considered witnesses and other relevant evidence
Similar and timely access to all information considered by the Investigating Officer and the
Coordinator - Non-Discrimination/Harassment in resolving the complaint
Equal opportunity to review any statements or evidence provided by the other party
Equal access to review and comment upon any information independently developed by the
Investigating Officer
Equal opportunity to address any hearing panel
VIII. Appeals
A. Grounds For Appeal
The complainant or respondent may appeal the determination of a complaint only on the
following grounds:
The decision was contrary to the substantial weight of the evidence
There is a substantial likelihood that newly discovered information, not available at the
time evidence was presented to the Coordinator - Non-Discrimination/Harassment, would
result in a different decision
These published complaint procedures were not followed and this failure was a substantial
factor in the determination against the appealing party
Bias or prejudice on the part of the Investigating Officer or Coordinator - Non-
Discrimination/Harassment, or
The punishment or the corrective action imposed is disproportionate to the offense
B. Method Of Appeal
Appeals must be filed with the President within five (5) days of receipt of the written
determination of the complaint. The appeal must be in writing and contain the following:
Name of the complainant
128
Name of the respondent
A statement of the determination of the complaint, including corrective action if any
A detailed statement of the basis for the appeal including the specific facts, circumstances,
and argument in support of it, and
Requested action, if any.
C. Resolution Of The Appeal

The President will appoint an appeal panel, comprised of three (3) individuals selected
from the pool of Deputy Coordinators and Investigators, who have no conflict of interest,
and have had no involvement in the investigation or adjudication of the relevant
complaint. The Appeal Panel will resolve the appeal within ten (10) days of receiving it
and may take any and all actions that they determine to be in the interest of a fair and just
decision. The decision of the Appeal Panel is final. The Coordinator Non-
Discrimination/Harassment shall issue a short and plain, written statement of the
resolution of the appeal. The written statement shall be provided to the complainant and
respondent within three (3) days of the resolution of the Appeal Panel.
IX. Documentation
Throughout all stages of the investigation, resolution, and appeal, the Investigating Officer, the
Coordinator - Non-Discrimination/Harassment, and the Appeal Panel, as the case may be, are responsible
for maintaining documentation of the investigation and appeal, including documentation of all
proceedings conducted under these complaint resolution procedures, which may include written findings
of fact, transcripts, and audio recordings. When an audio recording is used during an interview, a written
summary of the interview is prepared by the Investigators and signed by the interviewee; at such time, the
audio recording is destroyed.
X. Intersection With Other Procedures

These complaint resolution procedures are the exclusive means of resolving complaints alleging
violations of the Non-Discrimination/Harassment Policy, except those complaints falling under the Title IX:
Sexual Misconduct Policy. To the extent there are any inconsistencies between these complaint resolution
procedures and other University grievance, complaint, or discipline procedures, these complaint
resolution procedures will control the resolution of complaints alleging violations of the Non-
Discrimination/Anti-Harassment Policy.
129
Title IX -Sexual Misconduct Policy
Effective 8-1-13, Rev 2-25-14, Rev 6-1-15, Rev. 9-1-16
I. POLICY STATEMENT
Drury University (the University) strives to be a safe, education-oriented and community minded campus
that maintains an academic and social environment conducive to intellectual and personal development of
students, promotes the safety and welfare of all members of the campus community, and is free of
discrimination on the basis of sex. Sex discrimination constitutes a violation of this policy, is unacceptable,
and will not be tolerated. Sex discrimination includes discrimination on the basis of pregnancy, gender
identity, and failure to conform to stereotypical notions of femininity and masculinity.
Sexual harassment, whether verbal, physical, visual, or digital, is a form of prohibited sex discrimination,
and sexual violence is a particularly severe form of sexual harassment. The specific definitions of sexual
harassment and sexual violence, including examples of such conduct, are set forth below.
The Universitys Sexual Misconduct Policy defines the various forms of sexual misconduct that violate the
standards of our community, identifies resources, and outlines the Universitys student conduct process,
including the outcomes imposed for violations of this policy.
II.Scope
This policy applies to all University employees, including staff, faculty, and administrators; students;
applicants for employment; customers; third-party contractors; and all other persons that participate in
the Universitys educational programs and activities, including third-party visitors on campus (the
University Community). This policy prohibits sex discrimination, sexual harassment, and sexual violence
even when the complainant and alleged perpetrator are members of the same sex, and it applies
regardless of national origin, immigration status, or citizenship status. The Universitys prohibition on sex
discrimination and sexual harassment extends to all aspects of its educational programs and activities,
including, but not limited to, admissions, employment, academics, housing, athletics, and student services.
The University has jurisdiction over Title IX-related complaints regarding conduct that occurred on campus,
during or at an official University program or activity (regardless of location), or off campus when the
conduct could create a hostile environment on campus. The University will investigate all complaints
made under this policy and, if necessary, take action to prevent the recurrence of sex discrimination and
remedy its effects.
III.Title IX Statement
It is the policy of the University to comply with Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 and its
educational programs and activities, which prohibit discrimination based on sex in the Universitys
educational programs and activities. Title IX and its implementing regulations also prohibit retaliation for
asserting claims of sex discrimination.
The following Title IX officers have been appointed from members of the senior staff to ensure that Drury
University is in compliance with Title IX, and can be contacted regarding any Title IX issues.

IV.Policy Definitions
Sexual Misconduct is an umbrella term covering sex discrimination, sexual harassment, and sexual violence
and this term will be used throughout the remainder of this policy and the Complaint Resolution
Procedures when collectively referring to these types of conduct.
Sexual Harassment
Sexual harassment is defined as unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal,
physical, or visual conduct of a sexual nature when:
Submission to such conduct is made or threatened to be made, either explicitly or implicitly, a
term or condition of an individuals employment or education
Submission to or rejection of such conduct by an individual is used or threatened to be used as the
basis for academic or employment decisions affecting that individual, or
Such conduct has the purpose or effect of substantially interfering with an individuals academic or
professional performance or creating what a reasonable person would perceive as an intimidating,
hostile, or offensive employment, education, or living environment
Examples of sexual harassment include:

Pressure for a dating, romantic, or intimate relationship
Unwelcome touching, kissing, hugging, or massaging
Pressure for sexual activity
Unnecessary references to parts of the body
Sexual innuendos or sexual humor
Obscene gestures
Sexual graffiti, pictures, or posters
Sexually explicit profanity
Asking about, or telling about, sexual fantasies
Social media use that violates this policy
Sending sexually explicit emails or text messages
Sexual violence (as defined below)
131
Sexual Violence
Sexual violence is a form of prohibited sexual harassment. Sexual violence includes physical sexual acts
perpetrated against a persons will or where a person is incapable of giving consent because of his or her
temporary or permanent mental or physical incapacity, because he or she is below the minimum age of
consent in the applicable jurisdiction, or because of his or her incapacitation due to the use of drugs
and/or alcohol.
Some types of sexual violence are described as:
Rape or Sexual Assault:

Having or attempting to have non-consensual sexual intercourse with another person. Sexual intercourse
includes an act of oral, vaginal, or anal penetration, however slight, with an object or body part by any
individual upon another person.
Sexual Coercion:
The use of, or attempt to use, pressure and/or oppressive behavior, such that the application of such
pressure or behavior causes the person who is the object of the pressure or behavior to engage in
unwelcomed sexual activity. Coercion can take the form of pressure, threats, intimidation, or the use of
physical force, either expressed or implied, which places a person in fear of immediate harm or physical
injury. Coercion can also take the form of pressure to consume alcohol or other drugs prior to engaging in
a sexual act.
Sexual Exploitation:
An act or acts attempted or committed by a person for sexual gratification, financial gain, or advancement
through the abuse or exploitation of another persons sexuality. Examples include observing individuals
without consent, non-consensual audio or videotaping of sexual activity, unauthorized presentation of
recordings of a sexual nature, prostituting another person, allowing others to observe a personal
consensual sexual act without the knowledge or consent of all involved parties, and knowingly exposing an
individual to a sexually transmittable infection or virus without his or her knowledge.
Consent
Lack of consent is a critical factor in determining whether sexual violence has occurred. Consent requires
an affirmative act or statement by each participant. Consent is not passive.
Consent to engage in sexual activity must exist from the beginning to end of each instance of
sexual activity. Consent consists of an outward demonstration indicating that someone has freely
chosen to engage in sexual activity. In the absence of an outward demonstration, consent does
not exist. Consent is informed, knowing, and voluntary. Consent is demonstrated through mutually
understandable words and/or actions that clearly indicate a willingness to engage in sexual
activity. Consent is not effective if it results from the use of physical force, intimidation, coercion,
or incapacitation. If a sexual act is occurring and physical force, intimidation, coercion, or
incapacitation develops, there is no longer consent.
Consent to one form of sexual activity does not imply consent to other forms of sexual activity.
Being in a romantic relationship with someone does not imply consent to any form of sexual
activity.
Consent to engage in sexual activity may be withdrawn by either party at any time. Withdrawal of
consent must also be outwardly demonstrated by words or actions that clearly indicate a desire to
end sexual activity. Once withdrawal of consent has been expressed, sexual activity must cease.
132
Incapacitation is the inability, temporarily or permanently, to give consent, due to mental or
physical incapability, unconsciousness, or vulnerability due to drug or alcohol consumption
(voluntarily or involuntarily), or for some other reason. Examples of incapacitation may include,
but are not limited to, vomiting, being unconscious, or being unable to communicate for any
reason.
Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, and Stalking

The crimes of domestic violence, dating violence and stalking can also constitute sexual misconduct when
motivated by a persons sex. These crimes, no matter the motivation behind them, are a violation of this
policy.
Domestic Violence:
Domestic violence includes felony or misdemeanor crimes of violence committed by a
current or former spouse or intimate partner of a victim, by a person with whom the
victim shares a child in common, by a person who is cohabitating with or has cohabitated
with the victim as a spouse or intimate partner, by a person similarly situated to a spouse
or the victim under the domestic or family violence laws of the jurisdiction [], or by any
other person against an adult or youth victim who is protected from that persons acts
under the domestic or family violence laws of the jurisdiction.
Missouris definition of domestic violence can be found at Mo. Rev. Stat.
455.010.
Under Missouri law, domestic violence also includes the crime of domestic
assault which can be found at Mo. Rev. Stat. 565.072-565.074.
Dating Violence:
Dating violence is violence committed by a person who is or has been in a social
relationship of a romantic or intimate nature with the victim. The existence of such a
relationship shall be determined based on a consideration of the length of the
relationship, the type of the relationship, and the frequency of interaction between the
persons involved in the relationship.
Missouri law does not specifically define dating violence, but conduct of this
nature is covered by Missouris definitions of domestic violence and domestic
assault.
Stalking:
A course of repeated non-consensual conduct directed toward another specific person
that could be reasonably regarded as likely to alarm, harass, or cause reasonable fear of
harm or injury to that person. Stalking may include, but is not limited to, unwelcomed and
repeated visual or physical proximity to a person, repeatedly conveying oral or written
threats, extorting money or valuables, threatening physical conduct, or any combination
of these behaviors directed at or toward a person.
Missouris definition of stalking can be found at Mo. Rev. Stat. 455.010 and
565.225.
Cyber-stalking is a type of stalking in which electronic media, such as internet,
social networks, blogs, cell phones, texts, or other similar devices or forms of
contact are used to pursue, harass, or to make unwelcomed contact with
another person in an unsolicited fashion. Examples of cyber-stalking include,
but are not limited to, unwelcomed or unsolicited emails, instant messages,
133
and messages posted on on-line bulletin boards. It also includes, but is not
limited to, unsolicited communications about a person, their family, friends, or
co-workers, or sending or posting unwelcomed and unsolicited messages with
another username.
V. Reporting incidents of sexual misconduct

Employees Duty to Report
All University employees have a duty to report sexual misconduct to the Title IX Coordinator or a Deputy
Coordinator when they receive a report of such conduct, witness such conduct, or otherwise obtain
information about such conduct. This includes employees who may have a professional license requiring
confidentiality if they are not employed by the University in that professional role. Reports should be
made by employees as soon as is reasonably possible after such information is obtained. An employee not
reporting sexual misconduct, or not reporting in a timely manner, as required by this policy may be
disciplined accordingly, up to and including termination.
Students and Other Persons

Students and any other persons who wish to report sexual misconduct should file a complaint with the
Title IX Coordinator or a Deputy Coordinator. Students should be aware that all employees at the
University have an obligation to report sexual misconduct that they become aware of or witness, except
those identified later in this section.
An anonymous report can also be made at: http://falkor.drury.edu/forms/inforeport/inforeport.cfm.

However, employees cannot fulfill their reporting obligation by using this anonymous mechanism.
Confidential Discussions
If a student or employee victim desires to talk confidentially about his or her situation, there are resources
available. The following resource is available to assist you and will not further disclose any identifying
information about you, unless otherwise required to do so by law (e.g., if the victim is a minor):
The Universitys Student Counseling Center is available to students. University mental
health counselors are bound to professional standards regarding confidentiality, and will
not reveal the identity of victims, unless there is an imminent safety concern or as
otherwise required by law. Contact information for the Student Counseling Center is as
follows: Findlay Student Center, Room 114, (417) 873-7357.
The Universitys Chaplain is available to talk with students and employees. Contact
information is as follows: Burnham Hall, Room 211, (417) 873-7231.
Content of the Complaint

So that the University has sufficient information to investigate a complaint, the complaint should include:
(1) the date(s) and time(s) of the alleged conduct; (2) the names of all person(s) involved in the alleged
conduct, including possible witnesses; (3) all details outlining what happened; and (4) contact information
for the complainant so that the University may follow up appropriately.
Timing of Complaints
The University encourages persons to make complaints of sexual misconduct as soon as possible because
late reporting may limit the Universitys ability to investigate and respond to the conduct complained of.
134
Information Provided to Complainant and Respondent
A complainant who makes a claim of sexual misconduct to the University will be given a copy of the
document titled Complainant Rights and Options for Recipients of Sexual Misconduct. This document
provides information about this policy and the Complaint Resolution Procedures used to investigate and
resolve complaints of sexual misconduct, options for filing complaints with the local police, resources that
are available on campus and in the community, etc. A person against whom a complaint has been filed
will also be given information about the process.
Conduct that Constitutes a Crime

Any person who wishes to make a complaint of sexual misconduct that also constitutes a crimeincluding
sexual violence, domestic violence, dating violence, or stalkingis encouraged to make a complaint to
local law enforcement. If requested, the University will assist the complainant in notifying the appropriate
law enforcement authorities. In the event of an emergency, please contact 911. A victim may decline to
notify such authorities.
Special Guidance Concerning Complaints of Sexual Violence, Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, or
Stalking
If you are the victim of sexual violence, domestic violence, dating violence, or stalking, do not blame
yourself. These crimes are never the victims fault. When physical violence of a sexual nature has been
perpetrated against you, the University recommends that you immediately go to the emergency room of a
local hospital and contact local law enforcement, in addition to making a prompt complaint under this
policy.
If you are the victim of sexual violence, domestic violence, or dating violence, do everything possible to
preserve evidence by making certain that the crime scene is not disturbed. Preservation of evidence may
be necessary for proof of the crime or in obtaining a protection order. As necessary to preserve evidence,
victims of sexual violence, domestic violence, or dating violence should not bathe, urinate, douche, brush
teeth, or drink liquids until after they are examined and, if necessary, a rape examination is completed.
Clothes should not be changed. When necessary, seek immediate medical attention at an area hospital
and take a full change of clothing, including shoes, for use after a medical examination.
It is also important to take steps to preserve evidence in cases of stalking, to the extent such evidence
exists. In cases of stalking, evidence is more likely to be in the form of letters, emails, text messages, etc.,
rather than evidence of physical contact and violence.
Once a complaint of sexual violence, domestic violence, dating violence, or stalking is made, the
complainant has several options such as, but not limited to:
Contacting parents or a relative
Seeking legal advice
Seeking personal counseling (always recommended)
Pursuing legal action against the perpetrator
Pursuing disciplinary action through the University
Requesting that no further action be taken
Requesting further information about the Universitys policy and procedures for addressing sexual
misconduct
Requesting further information about available resources
135
Vendors, Contractors, and Third-Parties
This policy applies to the conduct of vendors, contractors, and third parties. Members of the University
Community who believe they have been subject to sexual misconduct in violation of this policy by a
vendor, contractor, or other third party can make a complaint in the manner set forth in this section.
Retaliation
It is a violation of this policy to retaliate against any member of the University Community who reports or
assists in making a complaint of sexual misconduct or who participates in the investigation of a complaint
in any way. Persons who believe they have been retaliated against in violation of this policy should make a
complaint in the manner set forth in this section.
Protecting the Complainant

Pending final outcome of an investigation in accordance with the Complaint Resolution Procedures, the
University will take steps to protect the complainant from further discrimination or harassment. This may
include assisting and allowing the complainant to change his or her academic, living, transportation, or
work situation, to the extent that the University has control over these environments, if options to do so
are reasonably available and upon request of the complainant. Such changes may be available regardless
of whether the victim chooses to report the crime to the Universitys Department of Safety & Security or
local law enforcement. Requests to change an academic, living, transportation, or work situation, or for
any other protective measure, should be made to the Title IX Coordinator.
If a complainant has obtained an ex parte order of protection, full order of protection, or any other
temporary restraining order or no contact order against the alleged perpetrator from a criminal, civil, or
tribal court, the complainant should provide such information to the Title IX Coordinator. The University
will take all reasonable and legal action to implement the order.
Amnesty
The University recognizes that an individual who has been drinking alcohol or using drugs may be hesitant
to report sexual misconduct. To encourage reporting, the University will not take disciplinary action for
drug or alcohol use against an individual reporting sexual misconduct, either as the complainant or as a
witness, provided that these conduct violations did not and do not place the health or safety of any other
person at risk. The University may, however, require the reporting individual to attend a course or pursue
other educational interventions related to alcohol and drugs.
The Universitys commitment to amnesty in these situations does not prevent action by police or other
legal authorities against an individual who has illegally consumed alcohol or drugs.
Bad Faith Complaints

While the University encourages all good faith complaints of sexual misconduct, the University has the
responsibility to balance the rights of all parties. Therefore, if the Universitys investigation reveals that a
complaint was knowingly false, the complaint will be dismissed and the person who filed the knowingly
false complaint may be subject to discipline.
VI. Investigation and Privacy

All complaints of sexual misconduct will be promptly and thoroughly investigated in accordance with the
Complaint Resolution Procedures, and the University will take disciplinary action where appropriate. The
University will make reasonable and appropriate efforts to preserve an individuals privacy and protect the
confidentiality of information when investigating and resolving a complaint, and all reports of sexual
136
misconduct will be handled in confidence to the extent allowed by law. However, because of laws related
to reporting and other state and federal laws, the University cannot guarantee confidentiality to those
who make complaints.
In the event a complainant requests confidentiality or asks that a complaint not be investigated, the
University will take all reasonable steps to investigate and respond to the complaint consistent with the
request for confidentiality or request not to pursue an investigation. If a complainant insists that his or her
name not be disclosed to the alleged perpetrator, the Universitys ability to respond may be limited. The
University reserves the right to initiate an investigation despite a complainants request for confidentiality
in limited circumstances involving serious or repeated conduct or where the alleged perpetrator may pose
a continuing threat to the University Community.
Further, if a report of sexual misconduct discloses an immediate threat to the University campus
community, where timely notice must be given to protect the health or safety of the community, the
University may not be able to maintain the same level of confidentiality. Immediately threatening
circumstances include, but are not limited to, reported incidents of sexual misconduct that included the
use of force, a weapon, or other circumstances that represent a serious and ongoing threat to students,
faculty, staff, or visitors.
The appropriate Deputy Coordinator, in collaboration with the Title IX Coordinator and Director of Safety
and Security, is responsible for evaluating requests for confidentiality.
VII. Resolution
If a complaint of sexual misconduct is found to be substantiated, the University will take appropriate
corrective and remedial action to prevent the recurrence of the conduct and correct its discriminatory
effects. Students and employees found to be in violation of this policy will be subject to discipline up to
and including written reprimand, probation, suspension, demotion, termination, or expulsion. Affiliates
and program participants may be removed from University programs and/or prevented from returning to
campus. Remedial steps may also include counseling for the complainant, academic, transportation, work,
or living accommodations for the complainant, separation of the parties, and training for the respondent
and other persons.
VIII. Faculty and Staff standards
Academic Freedom
While the University is committed to the principles of free inquiry and free expression, sexual misconduct
is neither legally protected expression nor the proper exercise of academic freedom.
Relationships with Students

Members of the faculty or staff at the University shall not engage in amorous or sexual relations with, or
make amorous or sexual overtures to any student over whom he or she holds a position of authority with
regard to academic or administrative judgments and decisions.
Employee Relationships
The university prohibits supervisors and managers from dating or otherwise entering into a personal
relationship with any subordinate or any employee reporting to that supervisor or manager. Such
relationship can become disruptive to the work environment, create a conflict or the appearance of a
137
conflict of interest, and lead to charges of favoritism, discrimination, and claims of indirect sexual
harassment.
IX. Resources and Support

Drury University offers non-judgmental support and resources to any party involved in a sexual
misconduct incident. Please contact the Title IX Coordinator or a Deputy Coordinator for more
information about available resources and accessing those resources.
X. Education
Because the University recognizes that the prevention of sexual misconduct, as well as domestic violence,
dating violence, and stalking, is important, it offers educational programming to a variety of groups such
as: campus personnel; incoming students and new employees participating in orientation; and members of
student organizations. Among other elements, such training will cover relevant definitions, procedures,
and sanctions; will provide safe and positive options for bystander intervention; and will provide risk
reduction information, including recognizing warning signs of abusive behavior and how to avoid potential
attacks. To learn more about education resources, please contact the Title IX Coordinator.
Sexual Misconduct Complaint Resolution Procedures

I. General Principles
Applicability
These Complaint Resolution Procedures apply to the resolution of all reports under the Sexual Misconduct
Policy. They apply to the resolution of complaints against students, faculty, administrators, staff, and third
parties, and they are the exclusive means of resolving complaints of sexual misconduct.
Administration
For purposes of these Complaint Resolution Procedures, Deputy Coordinator means the appropriate
Deputy Coordinator depending on the status of the respondent. Investigators refers to one or more
individuals from a trained pool of employees who have been assigned to investigate a particular
complaint. Title IX Team refers to the individuals serving as the Coordinator, Deputy Coordinators, or
Investigators.
Promptness, Fairness and Impartiality

These procedures provide for prompt, fair, and impartial investigations and resolutions. The Title IX
Coordinator, Deputy Coordinators, and Investigators shall discharge their obligations under these
Complaint Resolution Procedures fairly and impartially. If any individual involved in the administration of
these procedures determines that he or she cannot apply these procedures fairly and impartially because
of the identity of a complainant, respondent, or witness, or due to any other conflict of interest, another
appropriate individual shall be designated to administer these procedures.
Training
These procedures will be implemented by officials who receive annual training on the issues related to
sexual misconduct, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking and how to conduct an investigation
that protects the safety of victims and promotes accountability.
138
II. Preliminary Matters Related to the Investigation and resolution of a Complaint
Timing of the Investigation

The University will endeavor to conclude its investigation and resolution of the complaint within sixty (60)
calendar days of receiving it. Both the complainant and the respondent will be given periodic updates
regarding the status of the investigation. If either the complainant or respondent needs additional time to
prepare or to gather their witnesses or information, they shall notify the Investigators in writing explaining
how much additional time is needed and why it is needed. The Investigators shall respond to any such
request within three (3) days.
Informal Resolution
Informal means of resolution, such as mediation, may be used in lieu of the formal investigation and
determination procedure. The following standards apply to any informal resolution method that is
utilized:
Can only be used with the complainants voluntary cooperation and the involvement of
the Title IX Coordinator
The complainant will not be required to work out the problem directly with the
respondent
Either party may terminate the informal process at any time and elevate the complaint to
the formal investigation procedures described below
Informal means, even on a voluntary basis, will not be used to resolve complaints alleging
any form of sexual violence
Interim Measures
At any time during the investigation, the Deputy Coordinator, in consultation with the Title IX Coordinator,
may determine that interim remedies or protections for the parties involved or witnesses are appropriate.
These interim remedies may include separating the parties, placing limitations on contact between the
parties, suspension, or making alternative class-placement or workplace arrangements. Failure to comply
with the terms of these interim remedies or protections may constitute a separate violation of the Sexual
Misconduct Policy.
Support Person/Advisor
During the investigation process, both a complainant and a respondent may ask a support person/advisor
to accompany him or her at all stages of the process. In cases involving multiple complainants or
respondents, the support person/advisor cannot be another complainant or respondent. The support
person/advisor does not serve as an advocate on behalf of the complainant or respondent, may not be
actively involved in any proceedings, and must agree to maintain the confidentiality of the process. A
support person/advisor may be removed if he or she becomes disruptive or does not abide by the
limitations discussed in the previous sentence.
Pending Criminal Investigation

Some instances of sexual misconduct may also constitute criminal conduct. In such instances, the
complainant is also encouraged to file a report with the appropriate law enforcement authorities and, if
requested, the University will assist the complainant in doing so. The pendency of a criminal investigation,
however, does not relieve the University of its responsibilities under Title IX. Therefore, to the extent
doing so does not interfere with any criminal investigation, the University will proceed with its own
investigation and resolution of the complaint.
139
Rights of the Parties
During the investigation and resolution of a complaint, the complainant and respondent shall have equal
rights. They include:
Equal opportunity to identify and have considered witnesses and other relevant evidence
Similar and timely access to all information considered by the Investigators
Equal opportunity to review any statements or evidence provided by the other party
Equal access to review and comment upon any information independently developed by
the Investigators
Equal opportunity to appeal determinations pursuant to Section IV, below
III. Process for Investigating Reports of Sexual Misconduct
Commencement of the Investigation

Once a complaint is made, the Title IX Coordinator will commence the investigatory process as soon as
practicable, but not later than seven (7) days after the complaint is made. The parties will be notified of
any delays to the commencement of the process. The Title IX Coordinator will meet with the Deputy
Coordinator, and they will analyze the complaint to ensure it involves conduct covered by this policy,
notify the respondent that a complaint has been filed, and assign Investigators. If it is determined that the
complaint does not involve conduct covered by this policy, the matter will be referred to another
University official and addressed via the appropriate process.
The purpose of the investigation is to determine whether it is more likely than not that the alleged
behavior occurred and, if so, whether it constitutes sexual misconduct. During the course of the
investigation, the Title IX Coordinator, Deputy Coordinator, and Investigators may receive counsel from
University administrators, the Universitys attorneys, or other parties as needed.
In certain narrow circumstances, an investigation may be commenced even if the complainant requests
that the matter not be pursued. In such a circumstance, the Title IX Coordinator, Deputy Coordinator, and
Investigators will take all reasonable steps to investigate and respond to the matter in a manner that is
informed by the complainants articulated concerns.
Content of the Investigation

During the investigation, the complainant will have the opportunity to describe his or her allegations and
present supporting witnesses or other evidence. The respondent will have the opportunity to respond to
the allegations and present supporting witnesses or other evidence. The Investigators will review the
statements and evidence presented and may, depending on the circumstances, interview others with
relevant knowledge, review documentary materials, and take any other appropriate action to gather and
consider information relevant to the complaint. All parties and witnesses involved in the investigation are
expected to cooperate and provide complete and truthful information.
At the conclusion of each interview during the investigation, the Investigators will prepare a written
summary of the interview. The interviewee, whether it be the complainant, respondent, or third-party
witness, will have an opportunity to review the written summary, discuss any adjustments that he or she
believes should be made, and provide a signature confirming the content of the written summary and
allowing it to be shared with other appropriate individuals during the course of the investigation.
140
Resolution
At the conclusion of the investigation, the Investigators will prepare a written investigation report. The
written investigation report will explain the scope of the investigation, including parties and witnesses
involved and evidence reviewed, identify findings of fact, and make a recommendation as to whether any
allegations in the complaint were found to be substantiated by a preponderance of the evidence. The
written investigation report and any evidence reviewed during the investigation will be given to the Title IX
Coordinator and Deputy Coordinator for a determination on the matter. Upon review of the written
investigation report and discussions with the Investigators, the Title IX Coordinator and Deputy
Coordinator may conclude that additional investigatory measures are needed. In such cases, the written
investigation report will be returned to the Investigators, the investigation will continue, and the written
investigation report may be modified following the additional investigatory measures.
Following a sufficient investigation and written investigation report being provided, the Title IX
Coordinator and Deputy Coordinator will make a determination as to whether sexual misconduct
occurred, and issue a Notice of Findings Letter and, if necessary, include in the Notice of Findings Letter
those steps necessary to maintain an environment free from discrimination and harassment and to protect
the safety and well-being of the complainant and other members of the University Community. Such
actions will also include reasonable steps to correct the effects of such conduct on the complainant and
others and to prevent the recurrence of discrimination, harassment, and retaliation. Examples of such
action include: no-contact orders, classroom reassignment, the provision of counseling or other support
services, training, and discipline for the perpetrator, including up to termination, expulsion, or other
appropriate institutional sanctions.
In the Notice of Findings Letter, the complainant and respondent will be offered the opportunity to meet
with the Coordinator and/or Deputy Coordinator individually within three days of the date of the Notice of
Findings Letter to discuss the outcome of the investigation, any sanctions and remedial measures that will
be imposed, and appeal rights. The three (3) day timeframe may be extended when there are unavoidable
scheduling conflicts.
If necessary, the version of the Notice of Findings Letter provided to the complainant and/or respondent
will be redacted to ensure that information concerning any remedial and/or disciplinary measures is
disclosed in a manner consistent with Title IX, the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), and
the Clery Act, as explained by the April 4, 2011 Dear Colleague Letter issued by the U.S. Department of
Education, available at http://www2.ed.gov/about/offices/list/ocr/letters/colleague-201104.pdf.
The Notice of Findings Letter drafted by the Title IX Coordinator and Deputy Coordinator shall be final
subject only to the right of appeal set forth in Section IV, below.
Special Procedure Concerning Complaints Against the President, the Title IX Coordinator, or other
Administrators Senior to the Title IX Coordinator
If a complaint involves alleged conduct on the part of the Universitys President, the Executive Committee
of the Universitys Board of Trustees will designate an appropriate person to conduct the investigation
required by these procedures. The written report of the investigation will be presented to the Executive
Committee of the Board of Trustees, which will prepare and issue the written determination and
implement any appropriate and reasonable measures. The determination issued by the Executive
Committee of the Board of Trustees is final, unless the President or the complainant provides a written
letter of appeal to the Full Board of Trustees within five (5) days of his/her receipt of the Executive
Committees written determination and in accordance with Section IV, below. The full Board of Trustees
141
will issue a resolution on the matter within twenty-one (21) days and the resolution will be final and not
subject to further appeal. The full Board of Trustees shall issue a short and plain, written statement of the
resolution of the appeal. The written statement shall be provided to the complainant, the President, and
the Title IX Coordinator within three (3) days of the resolution.
If a complaint involves alleged conduct on the part of the Title IX Coordinator or any administrator senior
to the Title IX Coordinator, the President will designate an appropriate person to conduct the investigation
required by these procedures. The written report of the investigation shall be presented to the President,
who will appoint three (3) members of the Title IX Team, who have no conflict of interest, to review the
investigation report, make a determination, and prepare and issue the written determination and
implement appropriate and reasonable measures. The resolution issued by the Title IX Team is final,
unless the complainant or respondent provides a written letter of appeal to the Executive Committee of
the Board of Trustees within five (5) days of his/her receipt of the Title IX Teams written determination
and in accordance with Section IV, below. The Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees will issue a
resolution on the matter within twenty-one (21) days and the resolution will be final and not subject to
further appeal. The Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees shall issue a short and plain, written
statement of the resolution of the appeal. The written statement shall be provided to the complainant,
respondent, and the Title IX Coordinator within three (3) days of the resolution. If the Title IX Coordinator
is the respondent, a copy of the resolution should also be given to one of the Deputy Coordinators to
ensure it is properly filed.
IV. Appeals
Grounds for Appeal

The complainant or respondent may appeal the determination of a complaint only on the following
grounds:
There is a substantial likelihood that newly discovered information, not available at the time
evidence was presented to the Title IX Coordinator and Deputy Coordinator, would result in a
different decision
There was a procedural error significant enough to call the outcome into question
There was a clear error in factual findings
Bias or prejudice on the part of the Title IX Coordinator, Deputy Coordinator, or Investigators, or
The punishment or the corrective action imposed is disproportionate to the offense
Method of Appeal
Appeals must be filed with the President within five (5) days of receipt of the written report determining
the outcome of the complaint. The appeal must be in writing and contain the following:
Name of the complainant
Name of the respondent
A statement of the determination of the complaint, including corrective action if any
A detailed statement of the basis for the appeal including the specific facts, circumstances, and
argument in support of it, and
Requested action, if any
Resolution of the Appeal

The President will appoint an Appeal Panel, comprised of three (3) members of the Title IX Team, who
have no conflict of interest, and have had no involvement in the investigation or adjudication of the
relevant complaint. The Appeal Panel will resolve the appeal and inform the Title IX Coordinator of their
142
decision within ten (10) days of receiving it and may take any and all actions that they determine to be in
the interest of a fair and just decision. The decision of the Appeal Panel is final. The Title IX Coordinator
shall issue a short and plain, written statement of the resolution of the appeal, including any changes
made to the previous Notice of Findings and any sanctions or remedial measures imposed. The Title IX
Coordinators written statement shall be provided to the complainant and respondent within three (3)
days of the resolution of the Appeal Panel.
V. Documentation
Throughout all stages of the investigation, resolution, and appeal, the Title IX Team members as the case
may be, are responsible for maintaining documentation of the investigation and appeal, including
documentation of all proceedings conducted under these Complaint Resolution Procedures, which may
include written findings of fact, transcripts, and audio recordings. When an audio recording is used during
an interview, a written summary of the interview is prepared by the Investigators and signed by the
interviewee; at such time, the audio recording is destroyed.
VI. Intersection With Other Procedures

These complaint resolution procedures are the exclusive means of resolving complaints alleging violations
of the Sexual Misconduct Policy. To the extent there are any inconsistencies between these complaint
resolution procedures and other University grievance, complaint, or discipline procedures, these
complaint resolution procedures will control the resolution of complaints alleging violations of the Sexual
Misconduct Policy.
143
Right to Dismiss
The right is reserved by the university to dismiss or exclude any student from the university, or from any
class or classes, whenever, in the interest of the student or the university, the university administration
deems it advisable.
144
Student Complaint Guidelines
It is the philosophy of Drury University to be responsive to student concerns. If students feel that they
have been treated in an inappropriate or unfair manner, they should file a formal written complaint with
the appropriate officer of the university:
The President
The Vice President for Academic Affairs
The Vice President for Student Affairs
The Vice President for Administration
When in doubt regarding the appropriate officer for a particular complaint, the student is encouraged to
contact any of the officers mentioned above. If, after exhaustion of all institutional avenues, the university
and the student are not able to mutually resolve the students concerns, the student may contact the
Missouri Department of Higher Education at (573) 526-1577. More information on MDHEs complaint
resolution policy can be found at http://dhe.mo.gov.
145
Code of Conduct
As a member of the Drury University community, I vow to treat others with respects. I will not violate
others right to learn and thrive in a safe, respectful environment, and by extension I will not bully or
intimidate others. Honesty will guide my every action. I will not condone anyone that compromises the
Drury Honor Code.
Part of the goal of a college education is to grow ones awareness and appreciation of the ideals of human
life, in ones ability to consider the long run consequences of ones acts, and the degree to which one can
assume responsibility for his or her own actions and way of living. Drury seeks to encourage serious moral
thinking by its students and to provide an atmosphere of freedom in which moral autonomy can be
developed.
Students are expected to observe minimum standards of conduct designed to ensure maximum freedom
for all. Any violation of the Drury University Student Code of Conduct will be managed through disciplinary
action, up to and including separation from the university.
1. HARASSMENT: Students shall not harass other students, faculty or staff members.
2. BEHAVIOR: Students shall not behave in a manner that is disruptive to class or other learning
experiences.
3. PROPERTY RIGHTS: Drury students shall observe property rights of individuals and institutions.
Theft, destruction of property and unauthorized entry are not permitted.
4. HONESTY: Fraud, forgery and failure to honor agreements with the university are not permitted.
5. ACADEMIC INTEGRITY: The highest standards of academic excellence and integrity are expected
from all Drury students. Please see Academic Integrity in the Academic Affairs section for more
details.
6. PRIVACY: Students shall respect others right to privacy.
7. CAMPUS INVOLVEMENT: Students shall respect the right of others to engage in campus activities,
to attend meetings, to move freely about the campus and to study.
8. ENDANGERMENT: Students shall not injure or endanger the health of others.
9. ADDRESS REPORTING: Each student is required to report his or her correct Springfield or
community address at the time of registration each semester. This reported address must be the
students actual place of residence. Any change of address must be reported within three days to
the Dean of Students Office or to the Registrars Office.
10. DEBT TO UNIVERSITY: Any student who incurs debt with the university and fails to make a
satisfactory settlement may be dismissed. No student with unsettled debt will be permitted to
register for academic work. In addition, the university will not provide any evidence of attendance
or any official credentials while the debt remains unsettled.
11. RESPONSE & COOPERATION: Students are required to respond promptly to any summons, identify
themselves and cooperate when asked to do so by university officials.
12. GAMBLING: Gambling is prohibited on university property or at any official student function.
13. DRUGS & ALCOHOL: Any illegal use, possession or trafficking of drugs or alcohol is forbidden.
Please see Campus Alcohol and Drug policies for more information.
14. COMMUNITY STANDARDS: Drury students shall observe all Drury policies and procedures.
15. CAMPUS HOUSING: Drury students shall observe all Drury Housing and residential regulations.
16. SEXUAL ABUSE & HARASSMENT: Drury University prohibits sexual abuse and/or harassment by its
students, employees and citizens.
17. PROTEST: Although the right of peaceful protest within the Drury community is recognized, the
university retains the right to assure the safety of individuals, the protection of property and the
146
continuity of the educational process. In order to ensure that the rights of the institution and of all
individuals be protected, the following regulations have been established:
a. Picketing within 50 feet of an external access to buildings, interference with entrance to or
exit from facilities and interruption of classes or other normal functions of the university
exceed permissible limits.
b. Any attempt to control or take over buildings, faculty or administrative offices, or other
facilities in any buildings where university space is in use for an authorized function,
whether conduct of a class, a public or a private meeting under approved sponsorship,
normal administrative or educational functions, or service-related activities (health
services, recreational activities or personnel placement) exceed permissible limits. Respect
must be accorded any regulations imposed by the person in charge. That is, any
requirement to desist from specified activities or to leave the premises must be obeyed.
Any regulations imposed are reviewable by the president.
c. At no time is force or violence to be employed, nor should participants in a demonstration
or picketing conduct themselves in such a way as to constitute an immediate or potential
threat of force or violence against persons or property.
d. Rooms in which instruction, research or study normally take place may be occupied only
when assigned through established procedures; however, buildings must be cleared at the
normal closing time for each building unless other arrangements are approved in advance.
e. Every student enrolled in the university has the right to be interviewed on campus by any
legal organization that desires to recruit at the campus. Any student or group of students
has the right to protest against the appearance on campus of any organization, provided
the protest does not interfere with any other students opportunity to have such an
interview.
f. The dean of students shall be informed of the time and place of demonstration in advance
of any public announcement of plans for a demonstration. Only such limitations on the
areas in which demonstrations are held as are reasonably necessary to avoid physical
harm or physical conflict between groups of demonstrators may be prescribed. Students
also should be advised as to whether their demonstration is consistent with stated
regulations.
Drury University is committed to excellence in education and believes that excellence may only be reached
in an environment free from sexual harassment. Sexual harassment threatens the careers of students,
faculty and staff and undermines the mission of the university.
Drury University affirms that sexual harassment is unacceptable and will not be condoned; the universitys
intent is to provide an environment for students and employees that is free from sexual harassment.
Off-campus violations of civil law shall be left to the jurisdiction of the appropriate civil authorities. The
university reserves the right to prosecute students in the civil courts for on-campus violations of civil law.
University authority shall never be used to duplicate the function of civil laws.
PROCEDURES FOR STUDENT CONDUCT ADMINISTRATION

Students are the driving force at Drury University. Through the student conduct process, it is our goal to
help students realize how their decisions and behavior impact the global community, as well as assist them
with future decision-making to lead them to personal and professional success. The Student Affairs
Division staff strive to educate the Drury community by encouraging responsible conduct and
147
implementing disciplinary action when situations occur that violate the community standards of Drury
University.
Off-campus violations of civil law will be left to the jurisdiction of the appropriate civil authorities. Drury
University reserves the right to prosecute students in the civil courts for on-campus violations of civil law.
University authority will never be used to duplicate the function of civil laws.
PROCESS OVERVIEW
The Dean of Students shall have primary authority and responsibility for the administration of student
conduct at Drury University and for investigating allegations that a student has violated University rules
and regulations, or specific orders and instructions issued by an administrative official of the University.
The decision process in campus judicial processes is that of a hearing, not a trial. Students should
expect a supportive and non-adversarial environment during the hearing process.
The campus judicial process is intended to be educational, not punitive. Our goal is to help the
student better understand the impact of his or her actions and to help him or her take steps
toward repairing the harm done to the university community. Sanctions are not always
predetermined; in such a case a sanction will be designed to accommodate the individual
circumstances.
The standard of evidence in determining a student in violation is not as high as that of the criminal
process. At Drury University, like many colleges and universities, we use a level of "preponderance
of evidence." as opposed to "beyond a reasonable doubt." A preponderance of evidence is
described as enough evidence to make it more likely than not that the accused student has
violated the Community Standards.
Legal rules of evidence, i.e. whether something is "admissible," do not apply in campus judicial
cases. The hearing officers will gather and utilize any information that they deem is relevant,
including hearsay or third-party testimony.
Findings of guilt in the campus judicial process will not result in any criminal record, but will be
placed in the student's Drury University file.
Campus judicial cases are confidential, in compliance with the Family Educational Rights and
Privacy Act (FERPA), a federal law.
While students are entitled to an advisor, friend, parent, or other person of their choosing, that
advisor may not represent that student. Students are expected to speak for themselves at all times
during the process. Any advisors disregarding these rules will be asked to leave any meeting or
hearing.
It is a privilege to attend Drury University, not a right. As such, removal of a student from campus
through a sanction of suspension or dismissal is a possibility in certain circumstances in which the
student has endangered the university community or engaged in repeated violations of the
Community Standards.
INCIDENT RECORDED & SUBMITTED: The student conduct process begins when information and/or
documentation is submitted to the Student Affairs Division regarding a Drury-related incident.
This documentation could include, but is not limited to:

Statement provided by a faculty or staff member
Statement provided by a Drury University student
Statement provided by a member of the community
Drury University Facilities Damage Report
Drury University Information Report
148
Drury University Security Report
Drury University Policy Violation Citation
Online information report www.drury.edu/informationreport
INFORMATION REVIEWED: The Student Affairs Division staff will review documentation, check for
previous incident files and assess further steps that need to be taken in the student conduct process. An
incident file for the student or the student organization is kept on hand until the file is complete, and then
turned in to the student or organization's permanent file.
STUDENT CONDUCT MEETING SCHEDULED: Students will be assigned a Conduct Officer based on the
nature and severity of the incident. The Conduct Officer could be a Residence Director, Student Affairs
staff member, administrator, or faculty member. Students (or student organizations) are contacted within
five working days of the incident/receipt of documentation to schedule a meeting with the appropriate
conduct officer. Contact will be made in writing through email to the student's Drury University email
account and may also include an official Drury letter to the involved student or student organization and, if
applicable, the campus advisor.
If the student or student organization does not respond within five working days after efforts to contact
them have been made, information will be reviewed and a determination will be made without the
student' s or organization's input regarding the incident.
MEETING WITH STUDENT(S) INVOLVED: The student(s) or student organization will meet with the
Conduct Officer to informally discuss the incident, and the student(s) will be given the opportunity to
explain his/her version of events. In the event that the Conduct Officer determines that a policy has NOT
been violated, then the case and any related judicial charges may be dismissed. lf the conduct officer
maintains that a policy has been violated, the accused student(s} will be given two options:
1. The first option is to accept responsibility for violating the policy; thus, waiving the right to a
formal Judicial Board Hearing, and having the Conduct Officer issue the student(s} his/her judicial
sanctions (outcome). When this occurs, the case is considered CLOSED at the conclusion of the
meeting. Students may NOT appeal the outcome of this meeting, since the student is essentially
taking responsibility for violating the Community Standards, and they are waiving their right to a
formal judicial hearing. Additionally, at this conduct meeting, the student is either informed of the
exact disciplinary sanctions being imposed, or at a minimum, they will be given a range of possible
sanctions being considered, before the student is required to accept responsibility or request a
formal judicial hearing.
2. Students who do not feel as though they have violated the Community Standards have a second
option, which is to request a formal Judicial Board Hearing. Al\ students have the right to a fair and
objective Judicial Board Hearing.
There are other situations which based upon the circumstances may result in immediate action taken by
the Student Affairs Division staff, the Dean of Students or the Drury University Judicial Board assigned
sanctions remain in effect until the Judicial Board Hearing process is completed and a final decision is
rendered.
JUDICIAL BOARD HEARINGS

Judicial Board members consist of trained faculty, staff and students. Faculty, staff, and students are
appointed by the Dean of Students from a pool of eligible candidates. The Drury University Judicial Board
is composed of:
149
Three faculty/staff members
Six students, who are selected based on their involvement with Governing Student Organizations
(Residence Life Association, Interfraternity Council, and Panhellenic Council).
The Dean of Students, who serves as ex-officio and Judicial Board Coordinator.
Every effort will be made to ensure that each accused student is given a fair and objective judicial hearing.
Part of this will be limiting conflicts of interest between a board member and an accused student (i.e. the
accused student's academic advisor being on the board, accused student in a board member's academic
discipline, accused student having a personal friendship with a board member, etc.) Board members are
trained to excuse themselves if there is a significant conflict of interest. Should the accused student feel a
conflict of interest may exist, they should immediately bring this to the attention of the Director of
Residence life or Dean of Students, upon receipt of the hearing notice.
JUDICIAL BOARD HEARING PROCEDURES

The following procedures will be followed in any case, which results in a hearing before the Judicial
Hearing Board ("Board"). University Judicial Hearings are not legal proceedings, therefore, neither the
student nor the University may have legal counsel present at the hearing.
1. The accused student will be given written notice of the date and place of the Hearing.
2. The student is entitled to appear in person before the Board to defend against the charges. If the
student elects not to appear, the Board will reach its decision on the basis of information available
to it at the Hearing.
3. The student or the University may request that witnesses competent to give testimony relevant to
the specific charges preferred, be called to testify before the Board. Written or tape recorded
statements, rather than personal testimony by witnesses before the Board, may be permitted at
the Board's discretion when extenuating circumstances prevent the appearance of a witness.
Failure of a witness to be present at the time of the Hearing, except in extenuating circumstances,
will not be grounds to delay the proceedings.
4. The Judicial Board may accommodate concerns for the personal safety, wellbeing, and/or fears of
confrontation of the Complainant, Accused Student, and/or other witnesses during the hearing by
providing separate facilities, by using a visual screen, and/or by permitting participation by
telephone, videophone, closed circuit television, videoconferencing, videotape, audiotape, written
statement, or other means, where and as determined in the judgment of the Dean of Students
and/or Judicial Board to be appropriate.
5. The University's case will be presented by the Director of Residence Life, Director of Safety &
Security, or designee, who may ask questions of any witness.
6. The student may invite a member of the Drury University Faculty or Professional Staff to be
present throughout the Hearing, as an advisor. The advisor's role in the hearing is limited. The
advisor is not permitted to directly address the members of the hearing board or any witnesses.
The advisor may not offer any testimony to the Judicial Board.
7. The Complainant, Accused Student and his or her advisors, if any, shall be allowed to attend the
entire portion of the Disciplinary Hearing at which information is received except deliberations
(except when the board feels this presents safety concerns).
8. The Board's determination will be made on the basis of whether it is more likely than not that the
accused student violated the Student Code of Conduct or university policy, which is equivalent to
the "preponderance of the evidence" standard.
9. The Board shall make an appropriate record of the proceedings and this record shall be available
to the accused upon his/her request; however, it may not leave the Dean of Students Office or
150
Office of Student Conduct. Board Hearings shall be tape recorded in their entirety. Following the
Hearing and during the appeal period, the student and/or advisor present throughout the Hearing
may listen to the tape in the Dean of Student's office. Recordings of Board Hearings and decisions
shall be filed in the Office of the Dean of Students.
10. At the conclusion of a Hearing, the Board members shall meet in closed session to determine its
decision. If the student is found responsible of violating the Community Standards, the Board shall
consult with the Dean of Students prior to determining a sanction or censure.
11. The student or student organization and campus advisor will be notified of any assigned sanctions
by the Director of Student Conduct or the Dean of Students by email to the Drury University email
account and may also include an official Drury letter within three (3) business days. The
notification will indicate specific charges and violations. It will also indicate the decision, findings
and sanctions, if applicable, with any relevant information such as specificity and deadlines
APPEAL PROCEDURES
Students who wish to dispute the outcome of a Judicial Board Hearing may appeal their case to the
President of the University. To initiate the appeal process, the student must submit their appeal to the
Dean of Students or the Director of Residence Life, within 24 hours from the decision notice. An appeal
must contain complete justification and details about why the student feels an appeal should be granted.
The President will review all of the documents related to the case, hearing, and sanction assessment, and
will take one of the following two actions: 1) Affirm the decision of the original hearing board 2) Amend
the decision of the hearing board. All decisions made by the President are FINAL.
SANCTIONS

behavior, protect the excellence of the educational and social environment and assist the individual in
leading a healthier lifestyle.

There are other situations, which based upon the circumstances-including, but not limited to the nature
and the severity of the situation-may result in and require immediate or additional action to resolve the
151
incident. The Student Affairs Division professional staff may modify the sanctions to be more beneficial
and educational for the students or organizations involved.

RESPONSIBILITY & COOPERATION FOR REPORTING INCIDENTS

Any person who feels that he or she or another person has been the victim of an incident or involved in a
questionable situation involving a Drury student, university employee or Drury citizen on Drury property,
at any Drury activity or at any activity that an observer would associate with a Drury student, university
employee or Drury citizen must immediately report the incident to the appropriate staff member, such as
Residence Life staff, Greek Life staff or Security staff, or complete the online reporting form at
www.drurv.edu/informationreport. Drury will investigate all reported incidents and take appropriate

152
Students, university employees and other Drury citizens are required to cooperate fully with any

information surrounding the incident which may directly impact the safety and security of Drury students,
university employees and other Drury citizens.
Information provided to Drury University during an investigation will not be released to a third-party

153
Campus Housing Policy
Drury University recognizes the value of residential living to the total educational process and therefore
requires full-time day school undergraduate students to live in campus housing or in fraternity houses.
Once a student moves into a residence, they accept accommodations and board as a contractual
agreement with the university for the full academic year, or as specified on the housing contract.
To be eligible for campus housing, students must be 17 or older upon Move-In.

No one may move in or out of campus housing without the approval of the Housing Office.
Approval is granted first through the Housing Office, and then it is referred to the Dean of
Students.
The Housing Office makes room assignments. While every effort will be made to assign
compatible individuals, the decision of the Housing Office is final. The student participant in a
housing contract agrees to accept the roommate(s) assigned with them.
In case of a vacancy in a double or triple room, the remaining occupant may elect to pay the
private room fee (if space permits) or the occupant may be requested to move to another room,
or may be assigned a new roommate. Fraternity houses are NOT exempt from this policy.
Residents may not sublease units and only residents who have signed contracts are considered
legal occupants.
Residence halls and fraternity houses are closed over fall, Thanksgiving, winter and spring
breaks. Students without outstanding conduct sanctions may sign up to stay in their residence.
Break housing fees will be assessed to the students account, unless the students permanent
address is 200 miles or further from campus.
Students residing in apartment-style housing may stay during fall, Thanksgiving and spring
breaks. Apartment-style residents may stay in housing during winter break only if contracted for
the entire academic year. Students residing in apartment-style housing for just the fall or spring
must move out at the conclusion of their semester.
At the conclusion of the contract, all personal property must be removed from the residence and
the residence must be cleaned by the deadline advertised, even if the resident has signed a new
contract and is returning to the same unit at a later date. The university does not provide storage
space.
The University reserves the right to cancel any housing contract at any time.
If a student becomes ineligible to live in campus housing for any of the following reasons,
refunds are not granted after signing a housing contract:
o Disciplinary action or violation of university policy
o Withdrawal from Drury
o Academic suspension from Drury
o Change in marital status
o Birth or adoption of a child
o Extenuating circumstances as deemed by the Dean of Students
Exemption from Housing Policy

Full-time undergraduate day students who desire to live off campus for the upcoming academic year must
submit a Request for Exemption from the University Housing Policy to the Housing Office by the
advertised deadline. Students 21 and over will receive priority for off-campus housing, but are not
guaranteed approval.
Full-time day school students may apply to live off campus if they meet specific criteria.
154
Residing with a parent in the primary household within 30 miles of Drury
Aged 21 or older at the start of the academic year
Married
Have a child
Medical condition that cannot reasonably be accommodated in student housing
Extenuating circumstances
Veteran status or currently serving in the U.S. military
Students who do not receive email permission to be exempt from the housing policy will be required to fill
out a housing contract in the Housing Office; an on-campus bed and meal plan will be assigned. Students
will not be able to register unless the Housing Office has an approved exemption form or a housing
contract on file. Failure to receive permission to live off campus through the exemption process does not
release students from the financial obligation of room and board. Exemptions are only granted by
academic year. Each spring, students must reapply to live off campus prior to registering for the upcoming
summer and/or academic year. Do not commit to an off-campus lease until you receive official release
from the Housing Office. Housing exemption forms and contracts are available in MyDrury.
Housing Holds on Student Account

Full-time undergraduate day school students who do not participate in the annual housing sign-up process
or exemption process will have a housing hold placed on their account. A housing hold prevents course
registration. Housing holds will be released when the Housing Office receives a students required
paperwork.
Housing Deposit & Refund

To obtain campus housing, a $200 room deposit is required of each resident. This fee is not covered by
full-ride scholarships.
New students should send the housing deposit with the housing contract to: Drury University Admission
Office 900 N. Benton Ave. Springfield, MO 65802
Returning students should participate in the Housing Sign-Up process in the spring, and should submit
contracts in MyDrury. Students who currently live on campus will not need to pay another housing
deposit.
New fall admits who drop prior to May 1 will get their deposit back in full. New spring admits who drop
prior to December 1 will get their deposit back in full.
Students with clean, undamaged rooms who follow proper check-out procedures and turn in their keys
will have their deposits carried forward to the next academic year. The deposit will be refunded after
graduation or when a student leaves Drury, assuming they follow proper check-out procedure and do not
have an outstanding balance with the University.
155
Residential Plan Refund Policy
Housing Contract Cancellation Withdrawal or enrollment change
A housing contract is cancelled if the resident will no longer be a full-time day student or be enrolled in a
graduate course during the contract period. If the enrollment change occurs prior to move-in, the student
will not be charged for room and board. If the enrollment change occurs on or after move-in, refunds of
room and board charges are not generally granted for the semester that is in progress. Appeals to the no-
refund policy should be directed to the vice president for student affairs.
Housing Contract Cancellation Exempting after a contract is signed

Once a student has signed a housing contract, if they hope to cancel it but remain a full-time day school
student, they must file a Request for Exemption with supporting documents. Assuming the exemption is
approved and the contract is cancelled, the student will be responsible for cancellation fees and other
charges per the schedule below. Additionally, students who have a residential grant will lose that award if
their contract is cancelled. Other financial aid awards may be reduced as well, as the cost of attendance
may go down for students who are granted permission to commute. Prior to submitting exemption
paperwork, students should contact Financial Aid to learn how cancelling a housing contract will affect the
financial award package.
Current Students Those with academic year housing contracts or fall-only contracts
If a 2017-18 Request for Exemption is received on or before the exemption deadline (April 5, 2017) there is
NO contract cancellation fee.
If a 2017-18 Request for Exemption is received after the exemption deadline (April 5, 2017), but prior to
fall move-in, the student will be charged a $500 contract cancellation fee.
If a 2017-18 Request for Exemption is received on or after fall move-in and by the add-course deadline
(September 1, 2017), the student will be charged:
-$500 contract cancellation fee

164
Animals on Campus Policy
SERVICE ANIMAL POLICY GENERAL GUIDELINES
Service animals may accompany students, employees, and visitors with disabilities to Drury University
events, activities, and locations with rare exceptions. Local, state, and federal laws regulate the use of
service animals at Drury University.
SERVICE ANIMALS: According to the U.S. Department of Justice, service animal means any dog that is
individually trained to do work or perform tasks for the benefit of an individual with a disability, including a
physical, sensory, psychiatric, intellectual, or other mental disability. Other species of animals, whether
wild or domestic, trained or untrained, are not service animals for the purposes of this definition. The
work or tasks performed by a service animal must be directly related to the individuals disability.
Examples of work or tasks include, but are not limited to, assisting individuals who are blind or have low
vision with navigation and other tasks, alerting individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing to the presence
of people or sounds, providing non-violent protection or rescue work, pulling a wheelchair, assisting an
individual during a seizure, alerting individuals to the presence of allergens, retrieving items such as
medicine or the telephone, providing physical support and assistance with balance and stability to
individuals with mobility disabilities, and helping persons with psychiatric and neurological disabilities by
preventing or interrupting impulsive or destructive behaviors. The crime deterrent effects of an animal's
presence and the provision of emotional support, well-being, comfort, or companionship do not constitute
work or tasks for the purposes of this definition.
On a case by case basis. Drury University may also permit the use of a housebroken miniature horse by an
individual with a disability if the miniature horse has been individually trained to do work or perform tasks
for the benefit of the individual with a disability.
Persons wishing the University to consider use of a miniature horse should Director of Disability Support
Services.
SPECIFIC PROVISIONS - SERVICE ANIMALS

A. Generally, Drury University will permit the use of a service animal by individuals with
disabilities. Drury University may ask an individual with a disability to remove a service animal
from the premise if (1) the animal is out of control and the animal's handler does not take
effective action to control it; or (2) the animal is not housebroken. If a service animal is properly
excluded under this provision, the individual with a disability will be given the opportunity to
participate in Drury University's service, program, or activity without having the service animal on
the premises.
B. A service animal may be excluded if Drury University makes an individualized assessment based
on reasonable judgment and best available objective evidence that the service animal poses a
direct threat to the health or safety of others that cannot be mitigated by reasonable
modifications.
C. A service animal must be immunized against diseases common to that type of animal.
D. A service animal must be under the control of its handler (e.g., harness. leash. voice control,
signals. or other means).
E. Student is responsible for the care, well-being, and supervision of a service animal at all times.
F. An entity shall not ask about the nature or extent of a person's disability, but may make two
inquiries to determine whether an animal qualifies as a service animal. An entity may ask: (1) If
the animal is required because of a disability and (2) what work or task the animal has been
trained to perform. An entity shall not require documentation, such as proof that the animal has
165
been certified, trained, or licensed as a service animal. Generally, a public entity may not make
these inquires about a service animal when it is readily apparent that an animal is trained to do
work or perform tasks for an individual with a disability (e.g., the dog is observed guiding an
individual who is blind or has low vision, pulling a person's wheelchair, or providing assistance with
stability or balance to an individual with an observable mobility disability).
G. Individuals with disabilities shall be permitted to be accompanied by their service animals in all
areas of a public entity's facilities where members of the public, participants in services, programs
or activities, or invitees, as relevant, are allowed to go.
H. A public entity shall not ask or require an individual with a disability to pay a surcharge, even if
people accompanied by pets are required to pay fees, or to comply with other requirements
generally not applicable to people without pets. If a public entity normally charges individuals for
the damage they cause, an individual with a disability may be charged for damage caused by his or
her service animal.
SUPPORT ANIMAL ACCOMMODATION POLICY

An emotional support animal is an animal that is necessary to afford a person with a disability an equal
opportunity to use and enjoy a dwelling when there is an identifiable relationship or nexus between the
person's disability and the assistance the animal provides. In accordance with the Fair Housing Act (FHA),
Drury will entertain reasonable requests for emotional support animals in campus housing at least 30 days
prior to move-in.
Students seeking to bring an emotional support animal to their residence need to provide Drury's Disability
Support Services office (DSS) with appropriate documentation.
The letter is to be written on official letterhead from a licensed mental health professional
(i.e., therapist, psychologist, psychiatrist, licensed clinical social worker, but not a family
doctor, not provisionally licensed).
Letter must state that the student is under treating professionals care.
Licensed mental health professional must confirm that the student has a disability or
handicap which substantially limits one or more major life activities; a record of such an
impairment; or being regarded as having such an impairment.
Description of how animal is prescribed to alleviate one or more of the symptoms of the
students condition.
The health and safety of our students, faculty, staff, and the emotional support animal is an important
concern; therefore, each request for such an accommodation will be made on a case-by-case basis by DSS
in conjunction with Housing and the Dean of Students. Residents may request to have no more than one
animal due to the confined living space.
When the Director of DSS has determined a qualifying disability exists, he/she will contact the Housing
Office. At that time, the Housing Office will schedule a meeting with the student to discuss reasonable
accommodations. If the request may be reasonably accommodated and does not fundamentally alter the
housing program or community, the Housing Office will provide an agreement that outlines the rules and
obligations for having that particular species in campus housing.
After the student has signed the agreement and provided the required veterinary records outlined for that
species, the Housing Office will provide written confirmation to the student (and need-to-know offices)
that the emotional support animal may reside with the student in his/her assigned bedroom or apartment.
An approved emotional support animal [that is not also defined as a service animal) may only be in a
166
student's private dwelling (assigned bedroom or apartment) and is prohibited in all other campus
locations. When being transported out of the room, the animal must be caged or leashed.
Emotional support animals are required to be housebroken, be in good health and vaccinated per all
applicable laws, and under adult control at all times. Emotional support animals may not infringe upon the
right of other tenants to enjoy their residence (allergies, noise, odor, phobias, scratching, chewing, etc.).
More species-specific obligations will be outlined in the emotional support agreement.
Drury may reassign a student to a different housing location to accommodate a request for an emotional
support animal. Additionally, if the animal infringes upon the rights of other residents or poses a threat to
others, the student may lose the right to have the animal in housing.
A student may request an extension into the next academic year, but must provide updated
vaccination/vet records before approval will be granted.
Students should not acquire an animal prior to signing & filing the species-specific agreement to ensure
the animal will meet Drury's parameters, and is not prohibited by law. A student who has an animal in
campus housing areas without official Housing Office approval is in violation of our no-pets policy [with
the exceptions of a service animal or fish in <10-gallon tank). In that circumstance, there is an automatic
$150 fine assessed to the student's account.
Additionally, prior to obtaining an animal, students should consider their academic, co-curricular and social
commitments to establish how much time and energy is available for animal care/exercise. Consider the
animal's temperament--will the animal be quiet and well-mannered in a small residential space? Students
should establish a plan for the financial costs of animal food, medications, supplies, training, grooming,
veterinary & emergency care, and off-campus boarding in the event the student must leave town
overnight. If the animal does not get along in campus housing or is too difficult to care for who will take
the animal? Being mindful of these factors and questions will help ensure a successful match between
student and animal.

Architecture
Hammons School of Architecture
Robert Weddle, Dean
The Hammons School of Architecture (HSA) offers two major degrees: an accredited five-year first
professional Master of Architecture and a four year pre-professional Bachelors of Science in Architectural
Studies.
The HSA M. Arch degree is accredited by the National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB), which
requires that all accredited programs post the following statement:
In the United States, most registration boards require a degree from an accredited professional
degree program as a prerequisite for licensure. The National Architectural Accrediting Board
(NAAB), which is the sole agency authorized to accredit U.S. professional degree programs in
architecture offered by institutions with U.S. regional accreditation, recognizes three types of
degrees: the Bachelor of Architecture, the Master of Architecture, and the Doctor of Architecture.
A program may be granted an eight-year, three-year, or two-year term of accreditation, depending
on the extent of its conformance with established educational standards.
Doctor of Architecture and Master of Architecture degree programs may require a pre-professional
undergraduate degree in architecture for admission. However, the pre-professional degree is not,
by itself, recognized as an accredited degree.
Drury University, Hammons School of Architecture, offers the following NAAB-accredited program:
M. Arch. (168 total credit hours; minimum 36 masters-level credit hours)
The courses required by both architecture degrees are integrated with the Drury Core, the general
education curriculum of the university. This integrated curriculum provides a rigorous design-focused
education within a broad liberal arts context. Accordingly, the curriculum requires all students to complete
internships, to participate in community-engagement studios, and to study abroad in an approved
architecture-based international program.
Admission
The first two years of the curricula outlined below in the recommended courses of study constitute the
lower-division portion of the curricula. Enrollment in the first year of the lower division is based upon
acceptance to the university. Admission to the upper division requires a cumulative grade point average of
2.75 and the completion of the following courses with a grade of C- or better: ARCH 112, ARCH 124, ARCH
213, ARCH 214, ARCH 225, ARCH 233, ARCH 234, ARCH 251, ARCH 252, ARTZ 111, ARTZ 123, CORE 101,
Drury Foundations, CORE 103, MATH 211 (or equivalent or higher), and PHYS 201.
Performance Requirements
Because the architecture curricula are sequentially structured, it is important to fully review and
understand the co-requisites and pre-requisites for all courses. Students are encouraged to meet with an
advisor at least each semester in order to review plans and progress toward graduation. Student progress
is reviewed at the end of each semester to assure prerequisites have been completed with acceptable
grades (minimum C-) before students are allowed to advance to the next year-level of the program.
180
The grade of I (incomplete) in any prerequisite course will necessitate the completion of that work and
receipt of a final satisfactory grade prior to the first day of any course requiring the prerequisite. Students
who have not completed the prerequisite for any ARCH or MARC course as of the first day of class will not
be permitted to continue in the course.
Upper division students must maintain a cumulative GPA of 2.75. Students whose GPA drops below 2.75
must make progress each semester toward re-achieving the 2.75 GPA. Any further decline in GPA will
result in removal from the architecture program. No ARCH or MARC designated course shall count toward
graduation without a grade of C- or better. Failure to make a C- or better in any ARCH or MARC designated
course after two tries will result in removal from the architecture program.
Degree Options
Most students considering careers in architecture should follow the requirements and courses of study
described below for the Master of Architecture degree. This five-year program leads to a nationally
accredited professional degree meeting the requirements for eventual licensure.
For various reasons, some students may prefer the four-year non-accredited pre-professional Bachelor of
Science in Architectural Studies. Since the courses of study for these two degrees are identical for the first
seven semesters of either program, students may freely declare or change major paths at any point prior
to applying for graduation. It is important that students carefully consider the ramifications of degree-path
selection, since the B.S.A.S. degree will require a subsequent graduate-level accredited professional
degree from another institution prior to licensure. Students receiving the Drury B.S.A.S. degree will not be
eligible to also receive the Drury M. Arch. Degree, since both are considered undergraduate degrees.
Degree-path options and selections should be discussed carefully with advisors, and students opting for
the B.S.A.S. path who have particular career goals may benefit from consulting advising plans available in
the office of the HSA Associate Dean.
Master of Architecture Degree Requirements

In order to earn the M. Arch. degree, students must:
1. Earn a minimum total of 168 credit hours.

the Drury Center in Greece, by participating in a Drury short-term summer study-abroad architecture
program, or by participating independently in an approved architecture-based program located outside
the United States and operated by an institution other than Drury. The minimum requirements for
approved programs are that the program must be at least 5 weeks in duration, and must include both
ARCH 426/428 and ARCH 456/458 or equivalents. A student wishing to satisfy the International
Architecture Program requirement with a non-Drury program must make a written proposal to the HSA
International Studies Committee no later than October 15th of the year of admission to the upper division
(usually the students 3rd year).
Internship Requirement
The required 360 hours of approved internship must take place after completion of 60 hours of
coursework and prior to admission to the fifth year of the program. This experience satisfies one of the
two Engaged Learning experiences required by the Drury Core curriculum. Internship experience is
documented through enrollment in and completion of the ARCH 461 Architecture Internship course.

Design in Society
Robert Weddle, Dean
The Design in Society Minor offers students the opportunity to explore architecture as a reflection of
cultural, political and social values. By building an awareness of the role and influence of our physical
settings, students are equipped with a knowledge that enables them to better discuss and address the
meanings and power of the built environment. This understanding aids not only individual work, play and
living spaces but also our communities as a whole.
The Design in Society Minor requires a minimum of 15 credit hours.

Education
School of Education and Child Development
Shannon Cuff, Dean
The university offers programs for the preparation of both elementary and secondary teachers. Students
intending to prepare for teaching should visit the School of Education and Child Development website at
www.drury.edu/education.
The professional preparation of teachers at Drury University is grounded not only in the academic
disciplines, but also in a partnership with public schools. As part of the professional preparation of
teachers, students participate in a series of clinical experiences that may begin as early as the freshman
year and conclude in the senior year. Clinical experiences include teacher aiding in the public schools, field
experiences related to areas of specialization, reading practicum and student teaching. These
opportunities allow Drury students to gain practical experiences working with special needs children as
well as a wide variety of socioeconomic, cultural and ethnic groups.
The mission of professional education at Drury University is to:

Develop liberally educated professionals who are highly effective teachers and instructional
leaders within their respective disciplines and who are knowledgeable and skilled in the areas of
child and adolescent development.
Prepare educators who are proficient in the use of data collection and analysis techniques to
ensure that all students, regardless of ability, diversity of background, or other individual
differences, will reach their learning potential.
Add value to the lives of children of all ages and their families in rural and urban communities
throughout the Ozarks region and beyond.
At Drury University, we seek to prepare teachers who go beyond technical competence of what works.
We strive to nurture a disposition and personal commitment that calls for teachers to be reflective,
thinking practitioners who have a vision of schools as places of energy, learning, creativity, commitment
and decency for all children.
The moral and ethical insights of teaching are taught and these understandings are enculturated
throughout the experiences related to the teacher education program. The opportunity to associate with
other students and faculty through activities such as the School Development Program, Drury Student
Teachers Association, Kappa Delta Pi, field experiences and university courses creates a texture of moral
and ethical insights and values that foster and renew a high sense of purpose and vision for the teaching
profession. The School of Education and Child Development at Drury University strives to create an
environment in which persons identify with the teacher preparation program and work cooperatively to
revitalize the profession.
Students preparing to enter the teacher education program must be formally admitted. The application for
admission is available at www.drury.edu/education. Normally such application is made when a student is
enrolled in EDUC 205 Diversity and Social Justice in Education. Students may enroll in the following courses
prior to formal admission to the teacher education program: EDUC 200, 201, 205, 207, 212, 302, 340, 361
and Professional Learning and Critical Thinking. Students must be formally admitted before enrolling in
additional courses in the teacher preparation program.
225

3-2 Engineering Dual-Degree Program
Brant Hinrichs, Program Director
Drury University cooperates with Washington University in a dual-degree program leading to an

undergraduate degree in a liberal arts major and in engineering. Participants commonly follow either a 3-
2 or 4-2 schedule, entering Washington University after their junior or senior year at Drury (students
who follow a 4-2 schedule must apply no later than one year after graduation). Those who meet the
admissions requirements should be able to earn both a Drury degree and an engineering degree with four
semesters of study after Drury.
Washington University also offers a 3-3 or 4-3 program leading to a Drury B.A., and a B.S. and M.S. in
Engineering from Washington University. Students complete the same coursework as listed below while at
Drury, and then move to Washington University for three years of study.
Dual-Degree Program
Dual-degree study is an attractive alternative to traditional engineering curricula, which are highly
structured and may require longer than four years to complete. Graduates of dual-degree programs are
liberally educated engineers, possessing strong communication and problem-solving skills, a broad
background in humanities, social sciences and the global environment as well as a quality technical
education. They are well prepared to advance in technical management and to play major roles in solving
increasingly complex societal problems in engineering, consulting, design, and other areas.
Students must complete the following core math and science courses:
Chemistry
Math
MATH 233 Calculus III 4 hrs.
MATH 366 Differential Equations 3 hrs.
Physics
Those interested in Chemical or Biomedical Engineering should also complete the following additional
coursework and should consult the program director:

(Chemical and Biomedical Engineering)

(Chemical Engineering and Biomedical Engineering)
232
(Chemical Engineering and Biomedical Engineering)

(Chemical Engineering)

(Chemical Engineering)
Each program also requires completion of the Drury CORE curriculum (typically completed by Drury
students by the end of their junior year), as well as electives to complete a major. Those who enter at the
end of their junior year must apply for a waiver of the senior residency requirement and typically transfer
credit back to Drury to fulfill the 124 hours needed for graduation. Students also must meet Drurys
requirements for entry to pre-professional programs (see Pre-Professional Programs for more
information).
For admission to Washington University, an overall GPA of 3.25 or higher is required, as well as a 3.25 GPA
in math and science. Applicants with lower GPAs are considered on a case-by-case basis.
Students who have completed the prerequisite courses, meet the GPA guidelines and are recommended
by the Drury program director are invited to apply for engineering study at Washington University.
Applications should typically be submitted by February 28 for admission in the fall.

English
Department of Languages and Literature
Kevin Henderson, Chair
Studying English at Drury means:

1. Working closely in small classes with active faculty whose first priority is teaching.
2. Having many opportunities, formal and informal, for experiences outside the classroom.
3. Studying alongside a diverse group of well-prepared and intellectually engaged students in English
and writing.
4. Following a strong curriculum that can lead students directly to careers and to graduate and
professional programs in English, law, writing, library science, business and other fields.
The English department has an active student body involved in a wide variety of extracurricular activities,
all of which offer important leadership opportunities for qualified and interested students. These duties
are not only a labor of love for our students, but they also provide valuable pre-professional experience:
1. We are a member of Sigma Tau Delta, the National Honor Society of English, and elect officers
each year. Sigma Tau Delta provides a strong voice for students, organizing social and cultural
activities and working closely with the faculty sponsor and other faculty in setting the direction of
the department.
2. We select deserving students to serve in a number of on-campus internships and engaged learning
opportunities. As on-campus interns, students may work with social media as editors and writers,
or as tutors for international students in our English for Academic Purposes Program. They may
also work as graphic designers and readers for our flagship literary journal, The Gingko Tree
Review. We also help students develop off-campus internships and engaged learning experiences
in their home communities.
3. Students take leadership positions planning and organizing various events that feature visiting
writers, student readings, career fairs, and service-learning projects.
4. The Writing Center is staffed by students, many of them English and Writing majors. Work in the
Writing Center gives students with an interest in writing and teaching valuable experience.
5. We work closely with public schools in the neighborhood, and encourage our students to offer
their time in a wide variety of capacities, including as tutors, readers, and mentors.
In addition, English and writing students have a strong leadership presence in other organizations such as
Think Green, Amnesty International, Allies, Alliance for Minority Minds, The Student Union Board (SUB),
Student Government Association, The Drury Mirror (the weekly student newspaper) and others.
English Major
The English major requires a minimum of 30 credit hours, and is designed to be foundational and flexible.
All students take three courses in common and then choose courses that suit their interests and future
plans.
The three foundational courses serve several purposes. They lead students through stages of
development in English studies: as freshmen or sophomores, students take ENGL 200, where they develop
close reading abilities; as sophomores or juniors, students take ENGL 301, where they encounter theory;
and as seniors, they take ENGL 493, where they do independent research. Moreover, the courses provide
the department with a strong sense of community, giving students at all levels a shared classroom
experience.

Drury University's Art & Art History Program emphasizes engagement with changing cultural contexts that
demand flexible and dynamic approaches to historical and contemporary creative and critical inquiry. As
such, the progressive, rigorous and comprehensive character of the liberal arts grounds our pedagogies
and curriculum, which are fundamentally interdisciplinary in nature.
The Program encourages the processes of self-determination, intentionality, creativity and rationality that
are central to innovative and analytical exploration and expression. By developing students' technical,
critical and creative capacities, we seek to help them realize their intellectual and creative potential, and
to inspire them to engage, contribute to, and shape society and culture.
The Art & Art History Program will:

introduce and encourage a range of convergent and divergent approaches to creative discovery,
manifested in critical processes and work;
develop the students technical capacities as a vehicle for expression and exploration;
engage the student in critical thinking as a tool for clarification, understanding, and evaluation;
develop the students sense of creative and intellectual authority;
examine and engage historical and contemporary theoretical and cultural contexts; and
cultivate an ethos of interdisciplinarity within the Art & Art History Program and in connection
with the university as a whole.

History
Hue-Ping Chin, Chair
History is the study of peoples, societies and events from the earliest times to the present. Grounded in
the examination of primary sources such as documents, wills, poems or artifacts that illuminate the past,
historians seek to provide meaningful interpretations of the human experience. Studying the traditions,
events and decisions of those in the past provides insights for the contemporary world. The history major
serves as excellent preparation for careers in education, public policy, consultancy, museum work, law,
park service, libraries and business. History majors have attended graduate and professional schools in
history, anthropology, museum studies, divinity studies, law and medicine. The analytical thinking and
writing skills associated with history provide important professional and civic competencies for practical
application in many fields.
The Department of History offers introductory survey courses, research methods seminars and upper level
subject studies in American, European, African, Asian and Middle Eastern history. Thematic courses
address film and history, military history, biography, and gender, race, and cultural studies. The senior
capstone seminar provides opportunity for independent research by examining historical documents.
Departmental honors, Phi Alpha Theta, history club and field trips provide students additional
opportunities to interact with faculty. The department encourages students to consider studying abroad or
to complete an internship as a supplement to the major or minor.

Individualized Major
Peter Meidlinger, Associate Vice President for Academic Affairs - Academic Quality, Professor of English
Students may design an individualized major at Drury, where they complete a course of study not offered
among Drurys existing majors. Students who pursue this option are often drawn to a set of questions that
require an interdisciplinary course of study to prepare for a particular career or graduate school program.
Students must submit an application to a committee consisting of at least two faculty members, one of
whom should be their advisor. The application must be approved by this committee, the Dean of the
College where a majority of the coursework will be taken, and chairs of each department where six or
more credit hours are included in the proposed curriculum. The application should include:
The name of the proposed major,

A statement of purpose describing the focus of the major, and
The courses the student plans to take to fulfill the major (including possible alternatives).
Major Requirements:
The major must include a minimum of 36 credit hours, including at least 12 credit hours of upper-division
courses (300- and 400-level) and a capstone experience (a senior seminar or a guided research
experience). In addition, courses should come from at least two but not more than four academic
departments; and must be taught on a regular basis to reduce reliance on directed studies (exceptions to
this guideline must be approved by the chair of the department where the course is listed).
A student should design the individualized major as early as possible, and must spend a minimum of three
semesters working under an approved plan. Students who have a GPA below 3.0 at the time of application
must seek special permission from the Dean of the College where a majority of the coursework will be
taken. The academic advisor must meet with the student at least once each semester to review progress.

Shelley A. Wolbrink, Program Director
The medieval and renaissance studies minor reflects the interdisciplinary approach of the liberal arts
tradition, allowing students to integrate a wide range of disciplines into the knowledge of a single
historical period the Middle Ages. Drawing on expertise from the fields of art, architecture, history,
religion, philosophy and literature, students and faculty will concentrate on the time period in European
history from 500 to 1650 C.E. During this time, we see the development of universities, parliaments and
banks, as well as the emergence of cathedrals, chivalry as a code of personal and political conduct, cities as
centers of commerce and the increasing use of vernacular languages for public functions. The late Middle
Ages brought a series of challenges to Europe, including plague, war and the increasing persecution of
non-Christians, yet the literature, art and architecture as well as the printing press and magnetic compass
remain lasting legacies of the creative energy and inventiveness of Northern Europe and Renaissance Italy.
The medieval and renaissance studies minor offers preparation for students considering careers in
education, publishing, museum administration, archival work and public service. For students
contemplating their career plans, this minor provides a rigorous and broad-based liberal arts education
that future employers will identify as evidence of creativity and critical thinking skills. With planning, it is
possible to fulfill the minor by taking medieval and renaissance studies classes that count toward the
general education program, especially requirements in humanities, fine arts, ethics and Drury
Foundations.

Engaging Our World general education curriculum, allowing students to integrate a broad global
perspective with a more in-depth understanding of a crucially important region of the world. Study of the
Middle East provides an exposure to a wide diversity of cultural, artistic, religious, political, economic and
social systems. As the birthplace of Judaism, Christianity and Islam, the Middle East occupies a central
place in the spiritual and historical development of human civilizations. The persistence of conflict and
violence in the region makes an understanding of the Middle East essential for a global citizen. A Middle

seeking board certification without getting another bachelors degree. Such students will be required to
take coursework equivalent to that required for the music therapy degree. The specific coursework taken
will be determined in much the same manner as for transfer students. The music therapy program director
will evaluate the transcripts of equivalency students and outline any transfer credits accepted. The music
therapy program director will verify that all coursework transferred is equivalent to that offered by Drury
University.
The music therapy program director then will outline in advance the coursework the equivalency student
is required to take. Courses on the students transcript plus courses the student is required to take must
meet the curricular standards of Drury and AMTA in addition to the requirements of the Certification
Board for Music Therapists. As with transfer students, the equivalency student must demonstrate all music
proficiency examination requirements required of music therapy students at Drury. The equivalency
program will require a minimum of two semesters in residence at Drury plus internship.

Philosophy
Hueping Chin, Chair
Questions of meaning are central to human existence and the liberal arts education. The systematic
exploration of these questions and their possible answers define studies in philosophy and religion.
Courses in philosophy and religion thus are oriented towards helping students discover and develop their
most fundamental views their worldview and the knowledge of self. As such, courses in philosophy and
religion are essential to liberal arts education, and to the exploration and definition of who we are as
human beings. The department offers major and minor courses of study in philosophy, religion and a
combined philosophy and religion program of study. The department is distinctive in its focus on the
practical application of philosophical and religious studies.
Accordingly, students majoring in philosophy or religion are strongly encouraged to participate in field
experience (PHIL 276) and internships (PHIL/RELG 397, 497) that apply their skills and insights to real-
world contexts.
Philosophy Major
Philosophy develops tools for critical inquiry, explores how knowledge is acquired, and examines how
diverse forms of knowledge (e.g., scientific, humanistic, religious) both conflict with and complement one
another. Philosophy further examines the nature of values and how diverse values define ethical, political
and religious beliefs.
The philosophy major consists of 30 credit hours in the department, which includes Capstone Research

Political Science
Department of Political Science and International Affairs
Jeffrey A. VanDenBerg, Chair
How do societies balance the objectives of order, freedom and equality? What are the causes of conflict in
todays world and how are these conflicts resolved? How are scarce resources allocated? What is power
and how is it used inside countries and internationally?
These are just some of the important and challenging questions addressed by the field of political science.
Like other social science disciplines, political science focuses on decision-making, using tools ranging from
quantitative analysis to political philosophy to investigate how and why collective decisions are made.
Students in political science engage with complex topics such as law, diplomacy, elections, race, human
rights, war, values, identity, security, justice, economy, the environment, gender, and political behavior.
A degree in political science leads to a wide range of rewarding careers. Employers value people who can
adapt and solve problems, who have excellent written and oral communication skills, who are able to
understand and use quantitative data, and who can think critically and creatively. Classes in political
science stress the development and exercise of exactly these kinds of skills.
Drury political science graduates attend law school, graduate school, and work in both the public and
private sectors, including law, international organizations, media, academia, government, secondary
education, non-profits, administration, human resources, diplomacy, and business.

Pre-Health Sciences
Mark Wood, Program Director
The Drury Pre-Health Advantage

When choosing a college for your undergraduate experience, it is important to consider all the possibilities
ahead of you. The Drury University pre-health program offers a wide variety of tracks for entering
students. Possibilities include pre---anesthesiologist assistant, pre-chiropractic medicine, pre- clinical
perfusionists, pre-dentistry, pre-medical technology, pre-medicine, pre-nursing, pre-occupational therapy,
pre-optometry, pre-pharmacy, pre-physical therapy, pre-physician assistant and pre-veterinary medicine.
We studied the admission requirements of the top schools in the Midwest region to create a curriculum
that faculty members and students alike can trust. There are a few core classes shared by all the tracks,
and they then branch out to include a wide variety of courses that embody all academic disciplines. Each
student also is given the freedom to explore other areas of interest during their studies. The liberal arts
atmosphere at Drury ensures students are well-rounded, and electives built into each track enable the
pursuit of individual interests.
Volunteer Opportunities and Clinical Experience

Drury University strongly recommends that students spend time in a clinical setting as early as possible.
The experience that the student gains will give a better understanding of the medical profession to show
that the student has prior knowledge of future clinical expectations. A Drury University student has the
advantage of contacts with local hospitals and health centers. Drury pre-health students are also eligible to
participate in the Drury Health Service Corps (DHSC). Students in the DHSC have the opportunity to
volunteer one afternoon each week at Jordan Valley Community Health Center and other selected medical
facilities. These volunteer experiences allow students to personally interact with a variety of patients in a
medical setting while providing important service to the community.
Previous Drury Internships

Previous internships have included St. Johns (Mercy) Health System-Emergency Room, Greene County

Pre-Anesthesiologist Assistant
Assistants are health professionals who work under the direction of anesthesiologists to develop and
implement anesthesia care plans. They are usually responsible for gathering preliminary information,
assisting the anesthesiologist during surgery, and monitoring patients recovery. In order to be eligible
for AA schools, students must have obtained their bachelors degree and taken either the MCAT or the
GRE. Anesthetist assistant programs usually are two years in length and offer a masters degree upon
graduation. Requirements beyond core classes include: BIOL 205 Human Anatomy, BIOL 206 Human
Physiology, and BIOL/CHEM 336 Biochemistry.
MSA Anesthesiologist Assistant -UMKC Scholars Program

Eligibility: A cumulative GPA of 2.7 or higher and a composite GPA of 3.0 in the prerequisite courses.
Students must earn a baccalaureate degree prior to entering the School of Medicine MSA program and
take the MCAT. UMKC does not have a required minimum MCAT score, but the average MCAT score is
24.7. Maintain a cumulative GPA of 2.7 or better for all four years. Following the submission of
applications, students are considered for an interview in the fall semester of their third or fourth year.
Pre-Chiropractic Medicine
Chiropractors are health-care professionals who diagnose and treat patients whose health problems are
associated with the bodys muscular, skeletal or nervous system. They have a holistic approach to health
and use only natural, drugless and non-surgical treatments such as massage to aid the body in the
healing process. A bachelors degree is not required for most chiropractic schools; in fact, most only call
for 90 semester hours for admission. Chiropractors attend four years of chiropractic school. They are not
allowed to perform surgery or prescribe drugs. Requirements beyond core courses include: BIOL/CHEM
336 Biochemistry, COMM 211 Presentational Speaking, and PSYC 101 Introduction to Psychology.
Pre-Clinical Perfusionist
Clinical perfusionists are the health-care professionals who are responsible for operating the machinery
that regulates a patients heart and lungs during surgery. Because of the specialty of their work, these
technicians have become an integral part of the cardiothoracic surgery team. In order to be considered
for employment, the student must graduate from an accredited perfusionist school. Most perfusionist
schools only offer certification, but some have degree programs. Requirements beyond core classes
include: BIOL 205 Human Anatomy, BIOL 206 Human Physiology, BIOL 208 Microbiology, and
BIOL/CHEM 336 Biochemistry.
Pre-Dentistry
Dentists are health-care professionals responsible for keeping our teeth, gums and mouth healthy. In
order to become a dentist, students must graduate from a four-year dentistry school. Dental schools
300
attempt to have students spend as much time in the clinic as in the classroom. Students wishing to apply
to dental school must take the Dental Admission Test (DAT), a comprehensive test over biology, general
chemistry and organic chemistry as well as more abstract concepts such as general academic ability,
comprehension of scientific information and perceptual ability. Requirements beyond core classes
include: ARTZ 240 Ceramics I and BIOL/CHEM 336 Biochemistry.
DAT
The Dental Admission Test is designed to measure general academic ability, comprehension of scientific
information and perceptual ability. The test is administered on a computer almost daily and is required
by all dental schools along with a standard application. It is broken down into four sections: natural
sciences, perceptual ability, reading comprehension and quantitative reasoning. Success on the test
requires completion of at least one year of collegiate education, including courses in biology, general
chemistry and organic chemistry. Dental schools suggest that applicants take the DAT in the year prior to
enrollment.
Pre-Medical Technology
Medical technicians are an integral part of the health-care system because they are the people
responsible for getting test results out of the lab and into the hands of doctors. They use a broad range
of techniques and equipment to analyze everything from blood to tissue samples. Through practice and
experience these skilled professionals learn how to interpret test results, and even understand some of
the physiological conditions that affect the test results. Most medical technology programs are twelve
months long. The majority of this time is spent in laboratories working with actual specimens.
Refer to the Medical Technology section of this catalog for more information.
PreMedicine
Drury University has excellent programs for students interested in allopathic (M.D.) and osteopathic
(D.O.) medicine. Both types of medical schools require applicants to take the MCAT. The time required
to graduate from medical school is the same. Both types of medical students are eligible for the same
internships and residencies. Unlike a traditional allopathic doctor, osteopathic doctors are trained in
Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment and have a holistic approach to training.
MCAT
The MCAT is a standardized test designed to assess problem solving, critical thinking and writing skills
along with general science concepts. The test is broken down into four sections:
Chemical and Physical Foundations of Biological Systems
Critical Analysis and Reasoning Skills
Biological and Biochemical foundations of Living Systems
Psychological, Social, and Biological Foundations of Behavior
Most Drury students will take the test in May or June of their junior year. It is highly recommended that
pre-med students take a prep course. The MCAT provides medical schools with a quick way to compare
students from schools all across the nation. Almost all medical schools require your MCAT scores to be
submitted along with your application.
Osteopathic vs. Allopathic
301
When choosing a medical school, undergraduates have many choices to make including what type of
medical school to attend. There are traditional medical schools offering graduates an M.D. degree
(allopathic) and medical schools offering a D.O. degree (osteopathic). The curriculum at both types of
schools have much in common. State licensing agencies and residency programs recognize either
degree.
Drury Pre-Med Scholars Program

These programs allow students to gain early provisional acceptance to medical schools. In addition,
these scholars programs either eliminate or reduce the importance of a high MCAT score as a factor for
selection. The programs are non-binding; students can exit whenever they want to, but guaranteed
acceptance is forfeited.

Nursing
Drury University's College of Natural and Mathematical Sciences partners with Cox College to offer a
dual degree program that can be completed in four years, resulting in a Bachelor of Arts in Biology from
Drury's traditional day school and a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Cox College. Graduates of this
dual degree program have the benefit of an excellent professional education in nursing coupled with a
liberal arts foundation. Throughout their four years, students in this program continue to engage with
the many student experiences available at Drury (e.g., community outreach/volunteering, honor
societies, social networks) to become high quality, engaged nursing professionals who have the skills
and vision necessary to advance their careers and benefit their communities. Students participating in
this dual degree program are required to attend Drury's traditional day school for two semesters prior
to attending Cox College.
Pre-Occupational Therapy
Occupational therapists are skilled professionals involved in helping individuals cope with the effects of
injury, disease and disability, and to regain independence in their daily lives. OTs enter the health field
with a masters or a doctoral degree. Emphasis in education is placed on the study of human growth and
development in addition to the specific social, emotional and physiological components of injury,
disease and disability.
Students wishing to apply to a school of occupational therapy must complete their undergraduate
degree from Drury University and take the GRE no more than five years prior to applying.
Students planning to pursue graduate education in OT should complete the following courses:

ones education. It is offered electronically at various testing centers year-round. The GRE is taken by all
prospective graduate students and is a supplement to ones application materials. It includes four
sections: critical thinking, analytical writing, verbal reasoning and quantitative reasoning. Some schools
or departments may require the General Test, a Subject Test or both.
Pre-Optometry
303
Doctors of optometry are health care professionals who examine, diagnose, test and manage diseases
and disorders of the eye and its associated structures. In addition to their routine duties, optometrists
regularly diagnose systemic diseases such as diabetes and arteriosclerosis during their examinations.
Most optometry schools, like other health professional schools, have a four-year program that is equally
devoted to in-class lecture and clinical experience. In order to get into optometry school, potential
students must take the Optometry Admission Test (OAT). Requirements beyond core classes include:
BIOL 205 Human Anatomy, BIOL 206 Human Physiology, BIOL 208 Microbiology, BIOL/CHEM 336
Biochemistry, PSYC 101 Introduction to Psychology, and three additional hours in psychology.
OAT
The Optometry Admission Test is a standardized test designed to measure general academic ability and
comprehension of scientific information. The OAT is computerized and prospective students may take it
an unlimited number of times. However, only scores from the four most recent attempts, as well as the
number of times the test was taken, will be reported. The test consists of four sections: survey of the
natural sciences, reading comprehension, physics, and quantitative reasoning. Success on the test
requires at least one year of collegiate education, including courses in biology, general chemistry,
organic chemistry, and physics. All schools of optometry require the OAT.
Pre-Pharmacy
A pharmacist is responsible for filling and dispensing medication, as well as assisting patients with any
question they might have about their medication. In order to become a doctor of pharmacy and receive
a Pharm. D., students must graduate from pharmacy school. Entrance requirements for pharmacy
school vary greatly, but one standard is the PCAT, or Pharmacy College Admission Test. There are a wide
variety of career opportunities. These range from work in corporate chains or hospitals to working in a
privately owned pharmacy as an entrepreneur. Requirements beyond core classes include: CHEM 208
Analytical Chemistry, COMM 211 Presentational Speaking, ECON 201 Basic Economic Theory, and PCAT.
PCAT
The Pharmacy College Admissions Test is a standardized exam designed to measure general academic
ability in addition to scientific knowledge. The exam is offered at various test centers three times a year
and is required by all pharmacy schools to supplement other application material. It consists of six
sections: verbal ability, biology, reading comprehension, quantitative ability, chemistry and writing.
Success on the test requires at least one year of collegiate education with courses in biology, general
chemistry, organic chemistry and mathematics.
Pre-Physical Therapy
Physical therapists specialize in diagnosing, treating and preventing musculoskeletal and neuromuscular
disorders that can impair physical function. By enhancing strength, endurance, coordination, flexibility,
joint range of motion and providing training for mobility and independence in the home and throughout
the community, physical therapists can improve the quality of life for many people. Most schools offer a
masters degree, but there are a few doctoral programs. Due to the wide applicability of this profession,
job opportunities from students who graduate from PT school include work in hospitals, nursing homes,
outpatient clinics and corporations. The Exercise Physiology major was designed for students planning to
pursue a career in physical therapy.
Southwest Baptist University
304
Eligibility: A minimum cumulative GPA of 2.75 and a cumulative 3.0 GPA in all the prerequisite courses.
This means at least a C or better in all of these courses. Additional requirements include up to 40
hours of a shadowing experience in physical therapy and demonstrating computer literacy. Students
must also complete the GRE.
Pre-Physician Assistant
A physician assistant is a licensed health care professional who works under the supervision of M.D. or
D.O. to perform many of the tasks that were once carried out solely by doctors. Physician assistants can
perform physical exams, diagnose and treat illnesses, order and interpret tests, counsel patients on
preventative health care, assist in surgery, and in most states, even write prescriptions. As a student you
can expect to spend 27 months training both in the clinic and in the classroom once youve completed
your undergraduate degree. Requirements beyond core classes include: BIOL 205 Human Anatomy, BIOL
206 Human Physiology, BIOL 208 Microbiology, BIOL 324 Molecular Biology, BIOL/CHEM 336
Biochemistry, PSYC 101 Introduction to Psychology, and medical terminology.
Pre-Veterinary Medicine
Doctors of veterinary medicine are medical professionals whose primary responsibility is protecting the
health and welfare of animals. Veterinarians diagnose and control animal diseases, treat sick and injured
animals, prevent the transmission of animal diseases to people, and advise owners on proper care of
pets and livestock. Veterinarians can work in a variety of settings, from rural care of livestock for a major
corporation to wildlife preservation for the government. Most veterinary schools will require students to
take the MCAT or the GRE as admission criteria. Requirements beyond core classes include: BIOL 208
Microbiology, BIOL 320 Vertebrate Physiology, BIOL 322 Advanced Genetics, CHEM 208 Analytical
Chemistry, and BIOL/CHEM 336 Biochemistry.
305
Pre-Law
Daniel Ponder and Janis Prewitt, Co-Coordinators
Drurys strong liberal arts tradition is excellent preparation for the rigors of law school. Students who
apply to law school with a demonstrated ability to think critically, write effectively and express
themselves clearly are stronger candidates for success. Those desirable qualities are the foundations for
a Drury education. Our pre-law program works closely with law schools to make sure students are aware
of the skills they need to be accomplished attorneys and legal scholars.
The strength of a Drury education is also the basis of the Judge Ross T. Roberts scholars program, that
guarantees admission to the University of Missouri Law School for students who meet specific academic
standards.
In parallel with a students chosen major, the pre-law program concentrates on developing critical
thinking and communication skills. Courses in philosophy, history, the social and behavioral sciences,
languages and literature enrich ones grasp of the foundations of law in society.
The pre-law program at Drury is structured according to the recommendations from American Bar
Association approved law schools. These recommendations include the following:
1. Students should major in an academic subject that interests them. Law schools discourage any
specific pre-law or legal studies major.
2. Law schools seek students who excel in writing and speaking skills and who demonstrate ability
to think analytically, logically and creatively.
3. Law schools expect students in their undergraduate work to cultivate an understanding of the
cultural underpinnings of the social and political environment in which the law operates. The
Drury CORE program provides students the tools for such understanding.
Judge Ross T. Roberts Scholars

Pre-law students have a guaranteed place at the University of Missouri-Columbia School of Law under
the Roberts Scholars Honors Admission program. To be eligible, a Drury student must: receive an ACT
score of 32 or higher or an SAT composite score of 2130 or higher; apply to the Roberts Scholars
program before completing 90 credit hours of undergraduate coursework or taking the Law School
Admission Test (LSAT); maintain and graduate with a grade point average of 3.5 or greater; receive an
undergraduate degree from Drury; and score at the 75th percentile or higher on the LSAT. Students
admitted as a Roberts scholar receive a merit scholarship.
Pre-Law Internships
Because Springfield is a county seat, thus having the county court house as well as a division of the
federal district court, students have numerous opportunities to work for law firms or intern in such
public agencies as the Greene County Prosecuting Attorneys office and the city of Springfields legal
department. Drurys affiliation with two internship agencies in Washington, D.C., has placed students in
the United States Department of Commerce, the U.S. Treasury and the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency.

Study Abroad Programs
Thomas E. Russo, Associate Dean for Study Abroad and International Programs
As a liberal arts university, Drury is committed to broadening a students mental, cultural and social
horizons. The university of arts and sciences provides programs that enable students to become
acquainted with other cultures and other people. One way to accomplish this objective is by bringing
people from other countries to Drury. In recent years Drury has had visiting lecturers from Taiwan, the
Philippines, the Republic of China, Slovenia, Japan and England. Drury also actively recruits students
from other countries and is making every effort to increase these numbers. During the past year
students from 44 countries were enrolled at Drury. Their presence in the classroom, living centers and
campus activities adds to our understanding of other cultures.
Study Abroad
Another important way by which students can broaden their horizons is by studying abroad for a
semester, a year or through special short-term courses. Drury University encourages such participation.
Study abroad is available for all students; however, certain majors require a study abroad experience as
part of their degree requirements. These opportunities are presented in the following paragraphs. Study
abroad is a degree requirement for all architecture and business majors. Approved participation in a
study abroad program will meet part of the CORE engaged learning requirement.
The Drury University Center on the Island of Aegina, Greece

The Drury University Center on the island of Aegina, Greece presents students with the opportunity to
spend a semester studying in Greece for the same tuition and room and board costs as a semester in
Springfield, plus a program/administrative fee, airfare, technology fee, health insurance, some meals,
passport fee, and personal expenses. Because this is Drurys own program, all Drury scholarships and
financial aid are available to the student during this semester, except for some activity grants, the
residential scholarship, room and board for Trustee Scholarship recipients and work study.
Aegina is the second largest island in the bay of Athens, located 17 nautical miles south of the Greek
capitals main port of Piraeus. It takes 30 minutes by hydrofoil or 60 minutes by ferry to reach Aegina
from Piraeus. The island, at 87 square kilometers and hosting a population of 17,000, serves as a suburb
of Athens with a large commuter population to the capital for work and as an artistic, intellectual and
entertainment retreat. The islands main town, new home for the Drury Center in Greece, retains it
19th century Neoclassical identity, with an historic urban fabric riddled with mansions, churches and
shops, and with a waterfront lined with restaurants and villas. With the international airport less than
90 minutes away, the cultural infrastructure of Athens readily available and with its beaches, nature
reserves and numerous archaeological sites, Aegina will undoubtedly meet the educational expectations
that the university has set for its main study abroad facility.
Teaching facilities at the Drury University Center will be housed in an historic stone building which once
served as an artisan bakery. The two story building, now undergoing renovation to serve Drury
students, is located in the center of the towns main commercial area, less than a five minute walk from
all major infrastructures, including the port, the post office, the clinic, museums, banks, shops,
restaurants and beaches. A new housing facility is located about two hundred feet away from the
teaching facilities. Housing for 22-24 students will be provided in the Petrino mansion, another
328
beautifully restored historic structure along Aeginas main street. The housing facility offers a pleasant
assortment of studio and one-bedroom apartments.
Due to the unique course structure in this program and to take full advantage of the Mediterranean
climate, the semester dates in the Greece program are different than those at Drurys Springfield
campus. Please refer to the Drury website under Study Abroad for arrival and departure dates for
upcoming semesters.
Students can fulfill their foreign language requirement by taking Elementary Greek I in Springfield the

period of time than the free will problem. Are we merely dominoes falling in accordance with fate,
history, causation, genetics, or socialization; or are we the final arbiters of our own wills? The question
of human freedom goes right to the center of the meaningfulness of our very existences - after all, if we
are not free, what is the point of making decisions, formulating life plans and striving for goals?
Throughout this course we will survey all of the major camps in the free will debate. Along the way
you will learn that each camp, in providing its own answer to the debate, also reveals further and
perhaps more disturbing problems and issues.
PHIL 216 What is Knowledge? 3 hours. Every discipline (whether the sciences, humanities or social
sciences) makes claims to knowledge that practitioners in those disciplines take seriously. Consequently,
any serious practitioner of a discipline must ask: How does my discipline define knowledge and so make
claims about what is true? What are the limits, strengths and weaknesses of such methods of knowing?
Clearly, not all claims to knowledge are equally worthy of our assent, so it is crucial that a practitioner of
any field be able to investigate these questions. Armed with such an understanding of knowledge, a
practitioner of any field is given the tools to be more critical of the claims of his/her own field and those
of others. Given these concerns and questions, in this foundational course we will survey the various
origins and sources of knowledge, the different ways in which knowledge could be justified, the limits
and possibilities of those various approaches and the ways in which skepticism about knowledge can be
generated as well as avoided when different methods of knowledge are employed. This course has been

PHIL 218 Confucianism. 3 hours. In this course we will study the ancient pre-Qin Confucian ethical
tradition, concentrating first on the classic Four Books -Confucius Analects, the Mengzi, the Daxue (the
Great Learning) and the Zhongyong (the Doctrine of the Mean) and then moving to the last pre-Qin
Confucian work, the Xunzi. Once we have completed this fundamental survey, we will turn to selected
works from later neo-Confucians and then turn for the last part of the course to an application of the
Confucian ethical tradition to the modern world, specifically looking at political questions emerging in
modern Asian societies.
PHIL 219 Daoism. 3 hours. Whereas modern Western ethical theories and philosophers spend a great
deal of time focused on understanding what kinds of actions people ought to perform, ancient Eastern
thinkers focus instead of what one should be, and on the kind of overall life that a person ought to live.
In other words, ancient thinkers tend to focus more on developing character (or virtue) than on
foregrounding action. Of those ancient Eastern philosophies, the most well- known are Daoism,
Buddhism, and Confucianism. In this course, we will concentrate closely on Daoism, focusing on
understanding the kinds of people that this philosophy seems to suggest that we ought to embrace
becoming more like (the sage). As we will see, Daoist writings place a great deal of emphasis on
naturalness (ziran), a way of achieving a state of flow (or harmony) with the natural world that rests on
developing a number of key virtues or character traits such as emptiness, receptivity, and compassion.
In this course we will strive to understand how the philosophical Daoists understood (in different ways)
these key aims by centering on the two most famous Daoist texts, the Daodejing (~500 B.C.E) and the
Zhuangzi (~300 B.C.E). As we proceed through these difficult and challenging texts, you will be expected
to use these ancient philosophies as a springboard for thinking critically your own beliefs regarding the
constitution of a truly authentic lifestyle.

involved in the STEP UP program. Students will receive one credit hour per 4050 hours of
experience/service.
PHIL 277 Philosophy of Science. 3 hours. Our world is embedded within a powerful narrative that sees
science as the epistemic path towards understanding what reality is and how it behaves, providing
science with a tremendous amount of authority and power in modern discourse (cultural, scientific, and
interpersonal). Is this power and authority legitimate? In this course we will analyze science
philosophically, questioning the assumptions underlying the scientific method, asking whether science is
objective or value neutral, and asking whether science makes historical progress, or whether science can
ever reveal anything to us about the true nature of reality itself.
PHIL 300 Ancient Greek to Medieval Philosophy: Socrates to Aquinas. 3 hours. An introduction to the

critically think through the central ethical traditions as offered by the West and then work to see if these
433
traditions find analogues in the Eastern Asian tradition. Specifically, this course will require a close
examination of western ethical theories and then a close reading and examination of the central texts of
Confucianism, Buddhism, Hinduism, and Taoism.
PHIL 313 Modern Philosophy: Descartes to Kant. 3 hours. A thorough examination of the period of
philosophy stretching from the late 1500s to the late 1700s. We will critically analyze original works by

and others. The course seeks to provide students with an understanding of the philosophical issues and
the impact of philosophy on European culture.
PHIL 316 Ethics. 3 hours. Students will be expected to confront, reflect on, compare and contrast, apply,
and critically think through, the central ethical traditions offered throughout human history

critical questions relevant to the study of ethics, such as relativism, human nature, and free will, then
turns to examining the main theories and ends with criticisms of ethics.
PHIL 316 Ethics-Honors. 3 hours. Students will be expected to confront, reflect on, compare and
contrast, apply, and critically think through, the central ethical traditions offered throughout human
historyparticularly virtue ethics, deontology, and consequentialism. The course begins with a
discussion of critical questions relevant to the study of ethics, such as relativism, human nature, and free
will, then turns to examining the main theories and ends with criticisms of ethics. This course has been
PHIL 320 Environmental Ethics. 3 hours. This course seeks to develop a better understanding of both
the factual and ethical dimensions of our current and possible future environments. Explores several
contemporary approaches in environmental ethics (including deep ecology, ecofeminism, animal rights,
market efficiencies, the loss of biodiversity and responses from deontological, utilitarian and virtue
ethics, etc.) and representative theoretical problems (e.g., Aldo Leopolds land ethic vs. natural rights
views, ecological holism vs. moral atomism, market efficiency vs. moral obligations, etc.). Using a case-
study approach, students then learn to apply different ethical frameworks to several ethical choices
occasioned by human interaction with the natural order.
PHIL 336 Philosophy of the Self. 3 hours. Although many tend to treat selfhood and its structure as an
obvious given, philosophers have developed a complicated variety of doctrines to talk about what selves
are and how our modern idea of the self-came into existence. In this course, students will survey this
rich philosophical history.
PHIL 351 Existentialism in Philosophy, Film and Literature. 3 hours. Does life have a meaning? If not,
then whats the point of living? In this course we will study the movement known as existentialism,
famous for exploring these questions. We will read various philosophers; such as Kierkegaard, Nietzsche,
and Sartre; watch four existential films; such as Kirosawas Ikiru and read four literary works that deal
with existential themes; such as Dostoyevskis Notes from the Underground.
PHIL 374 Philosophy of Mind. 3 hours. One of the most perplexing problems to haunt philosophy, but
particularly since the 1600s, is the mind-body problem. Fundamentally, we will concern ourselves with
investigating the (purported) connection between consciousness (the mind) and the physical world
(specifically, the body). In this course, we will engage in a very in-depth theoretical investigation into the
(perhaps limited) degree to which psychology can explain consciousness, and relatedly whether a
complete study of consciousness necessarily requires inquiries outside of science as a whole, whether a
coherent explanation of consciousness permits or rejects traditional notions of free will, how
information and consciousness are related, the degree to which artificial intelligence (the creation of
434
consciousness) is possible and the possibility of forging a link between explaining consciousness and
understanding foundational metaphysics.

Semitism and religious anti-Judaism, which traces part of its lineage back to diasporic Judaism, the
Christian scriptures, and to Christian theological perspectives, values, and actions of the early and
medieval church. We will explore the behaviors and teachings of the church, its leaders, and lay
adherents during the holocaust, as well as the religious motivations for the extraordinary courage
displayed by those Christians who risked their lives to save Jews and others. We will ask, to what degree
did these early writings influence the anti-Jewish propaganda of the Third Reich? Finally, we will
consider post-holocaust reactions of both Jews and Christians and ask, has the event of the Jewish
holocaust caused fundamental change in the relationship between those in power or those in the
center, and those who are considered other? This question would consider directly issues that emerge
around race, sexual orientation, class, and gender.

Women & Gender Studies (WGST)
WGST 101 Introduction to Women and Gender Studies. 3 hours. A multidisciplinary analysis of gender
from historical and cross-cultural perspectives. This course examines the relevance and impact of
gender-related issues in terms of historical and contemporary culture. The goal of this course is to help
students develop a critical framework for thinking about gender and sexuality, with special attention to
issues of class, race and ethnicity. Topics include birth control, the social construction of beauty,
masculinity and race.
WGST 371 Women and Gender Studies Thesis Seminar. 3 hours. Prerequisite: 12 hours completed in
Women and Gender Studies. Students who have completed all other coursework in the Women and
Gender Studies program will be eligible to complete their womens studies thesis project. Students may
complete their thesis either in the junior or the senior year. Each student, in working closely with a
faculty mentor and with the director of the womens studies program, will select one paper or project
the student has completed in one of her or his other womens studies classes. The student will then
develop this project as a thesis in Women and Gender Studies. The thesis must exhibit high standards of
scholarship and must address a question related to the study of women and/or gender issues. Students
participating in the seminar will meet occasionally to share their research with other participants. At the
end of the semester, students will present their research in a public forum. Students participating in the
Senior Honors Colloquium cannot use their honors theses as their womens studies theses, though
students may choose projects that relate to each other. Offered spring semester.

Drurys Church Affiliation

It was less than a decade after the end of the Civil War when Drury's Congregationalist founders, many
of whom were abolitionists, chose Springfield, Missouri as the site for a new college. Springfield was
selected, in part, because it had been so terribly scarred by war. In an early description of the college's
mission, Nathan Morrison, Drury's first President, wrote that the college sought to "minister to the
healing of the horrid wounds made by civil war."
Drury College was founded in 1873 as an "independent church-related" college with a commitment to
personalized higher education. Its Congregationalist founders envisioned an institution that would offer
all students, regardless of their gender, race or creed, both a sound liberal arts education and a more
practical education in various applied studies.
Drury has since maintained relationships with the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) and the United
Church of Christ. The UCC relationship dates back to the founding of the college by Congregationalists
from New England. The DOC relationship was established in 1909 with the formal organization of the
Drury School of Religion. Both denominational traditions have influenced Drurys mission.
Today, the Chaplain's Office offers a variety of spiritually-based campus activities for every member of
the Drury community.
