student employment In order to keep costs at a minimum, all resident students are required to work for two weeks in the dining hall and all students will work at least ten hours on the college campus without remuneration. Ministerial and teacher-training students whose scholastic standing is high and whose parents desire them to do part-time work on the campus for remuneration, should apply to the president at the time of registration at the beginning of the school year. Students who desire off-campus employment are required to discuss this with the dean before completing arrangements. miscellaneous information The college suspends all activities during the Christmas recess. No facilities will be open to students at this time. A number of unexcused absences from a class may result in loss of credit in the course. A number of unexcused tardy marks for a class may be counted as an absence. Resident students are required to observe the privilege system for permission to leave the campus on occasion. The number of privileges granted a student is deter¬ mined by his class, his scholastic standing, and his respect for the college regulations. Concordia College participates in the testing program of the Board for ' Higher Education of the Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod, as well as the Department of Education of Alberta, and a program of its own under the direction of the dean. expenses for the year General fees (laboratory, library, medical, athletics, school paper, yearbook, lyceum) $ 35.00 Educational fees (instructional aids, administration, operation and maintenance) 120.00 Board fee (for students taking all meals in the dining hall) 210.00 Dormitory fee: resident men 70.00 resident women 100.00 day students 12.00 Rental fees: typewriter for course work 10.00 for personal use 5.00 organ 10.00 piano 5.00 Graduation fee: college - 5.00 high school - 3.00 Tuition ($2.50 per credit, $3.00 per credit in commercial courses) about 95.00 No tuition is required of students preparing for the ministry or teaching pro¬ fession in the Missouri Synod.

Each student must pass a medical examination as a prerequisite for entrance to Concordia. The medical questionnaire is provided by the school. The services of a school physician are retained. The medical fee also includes the students ' participation in a hospitalization plan. control and supporting agencies The Board of Control is charged with the responsibility of operating and super¬ vising the school on behalf of the Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod. The president is the executive officer of the board. The chief support of the institution is from Synodical subsidy. Fees are consequently kept at a minimum for students who have the ministry or teaching profession in view. The financial program of the school is aided greatly by the interest and sup¬ port of the members of the Concordia Guild, an association of societies in Lutheran congregations throughout Canada. The officers of the Guild are: Mrs. A. R. Riep, president; Mrs. F. A. Schole, vice-president; Mrs. G. W. Ries, secretary. The Con¬ cordia Alumni Association undertakes a certain portion of support for the college and holds annual meetings. The Rev. Walter Schienbein of Grace Church, Camrose, Alberta, is the president, and the Rev. Walter Schoepp of Bethlehem Church, Edmon¬ ton, is the secretary-treasurer. scholarships and honors The Concordia Alumni Association has begun a fund for the new chapel and places $300.00 into this fund each year in the name of the student selected by the faculty for his unusual achievement in Christian life and scholarship. The home office of the Aid Association for Lutherans makes $1,000.00 avail¬ able for distribution to those college students chosen by the faculty whose scholastic achievement and need can be properly demonstrated. The Edmonton branch of the Aid Association for Lutherans offers a scholarship of $25.00 to the college student with the highest scholastic attainment. Gifts from various congregations have been placed into a scholarship fund from which grants-in-aid may be made to students both in the high school and the college according to the discretion of the faculty. grades and reports Formal reports of the student ' s academic progress and behavior are sent to parents or guardians at Christmas, Easter, and the close of the year. Grade 12 students receive their final grades in provincial subjects from the Department of Edu¬ cation later in the summer. The grading system of the Department of Education is followed. H (80-100) C (40-49) A (65-79) D (0-39) B (50-64) Inc. Incomplete, no credit The academic year is divided into periods of six weeks each at which times a deficiency slip is made up for each student with an average below 50% in any course. This deficiency slip is sent to the student ' s home and indicates the restrictions on privileges, athletics, and extra-curricular activities, if any, according to the number of deficiencies. 100 credits are required for passing grade 12. These credits must be complete for admittance to the college sophomore class. College freshmen may carry some high school work in addition to their regular courses. Ministerial and teacher-training stu¬ dents must complete all the courses in the high school and junior college which have been prescribed by Synod ' s Board for Higher Education.

All checks and money orders covering the student ' s personal needs should be made payable to The Secretary, and mailed to her. Personal funds may be deposited with the secretary for safe-keeping. General and rental fees are payable at the time of registration. All other fees may be payable quarterly, in advance. These payments fall due on: (I) the opening day of the school year; (2) November 15th; (3) February 1st; (4) April 15th. If students should be unable to make their quarterly payments on time, a two week period of grace will be given. If payment has not been made when the period of grace comes to an end, the student will not be permitted to attend classes until such payment is made. Some parents prefer to pay the entire costs at the beginning of the school term. When this is done, a proportionate refund is made for administration, board, dormitory, and tuition fees in the event a student finds it necessary to discontinue his studies during the course of the school term. General fees are not refundable after four weeks, and rental fees after eight weeks. Anyone registering late in fall must pay all fees in full. Course Offerings JUNIOR COLLEGE Religion Religion 101.
