Hometown Heroes Join us in congratulating these WSU Warriors on an outstanding 2012-13 season.

The Wayne State men’s and women’s basketball teams both went to the NCAA tournament in 2012-13. The men made their 13th appearance while the women reached the

Sweet Sixteen for the first time in program history.

The men’s and women’s swimming and diving programs won a third straight GLIAC Championship and sent 26 student-athletes to the NCAA Championships, where they came in fifth.

Wayne State has finished in the top 10 at the NCAAs every year since 2005.

Wayne State University | 1

Welcome to Wayne State! Thank you for joining us at New Student Orientation. We hope you enjoy this chance to explore our vibrant campus and the surrounding Midtown neighborhood.

Orientation is when you’ll learn how to be a Wayne State student. More than that — you’ll learn how to be a successful Wayne State student. We want you to soar your way through college and graduate with the smarts and savvy necessary to take on the world.

Much of the information that’s included in this guide will be discussed during orientation. But because we’re packing a lot of who-what-when-where-why into a short amount of time, we wanted to give you some pertinent details in a handy takeaway. Please hold on to your Green & Gold Guide and refer to it as you get ready for classes — and as you proceed through your first year at Wayne State.

This guide works hand-in-hand with wayne.edu, where much more information is available. In fact, you’ll see Web addresses on most every page, directing you online for a more complete explanation.

If you have any questions about what you read in this guide or hear during a presentation, don’t hesitate to ask. Your orientation student leaders are happy to share their Wayne State knowledge while you’re on campus. Once you get home, write to [email protected] for answers.

We hope your orientation experience makes you feel confident about your decision to prep for your future at this premier urban research university. We look forward to watching you succeed.

Know What We MeanA glossary of common academic advising terms

Academic advisor: Professional staff or faculty members who help students determine their requirements for graduation, select appropriate courses and connect to campus resources.

Blackboard: This online resource connects you to your professors and classmates. You’ll find your syllabus, textbook requirements and homework assignments here. Log on to blackboard.wayne.edu with your AccessID and password, then scroll to the bottom of the page to take a free, self-paced online tutorial. See page 15 for more information.

Bulletin: Intended to provide academic information and course descriptions. It specifies the requirements that must be met and the courses that must be taken to complete each degree. This document is found online at bulletins.wayne.edu.

Changing your major: This is accomplished by declaring a new major through an advisor.

Corequisite (coreq): A course that is paired with another course and must be taken the same semester (such as a lecture/lab combination).

Declaring your major: This is accomplished through an advisor so official records can indicate the degree you are working toward.

General education requirements: Classes in addition to major professional courses needed to ensure fundamental skills and a well-rounded education. Some majors require choosing from a preselected list to fulfill these requirements.

Learning Community: A team of students led by an upperclassman peer mentor and faculty member who work together toward course or program goals, supporting each other in study groups and other activities outside the classroom. There is no additional charge beyond standard tuition. See page 15 and lc.wayne.edu for details.

Plan of work: A year-by-year list of the courses a student needs to successfully complete their degree. Because some classes must be taken in the right order, this outline keeps students on track and takes uncertainty out of registration. Meet with an academic advisor to create a plan of work specific to your program, and see page 51 for a general example.

Pipeline: An Internet gateway that provides single sign-on and secure access to WSU computer systems (such as Wayne Connect email and calendars, Blackboard and OneCard) as well as university, library and computing resources, and financial aid.

Prerequisite (prereq): A course or qualifying exam that is required before enrolling in a desired class.

advising.wayne.edu • reg.wayne.edu

Who is my advisor?If you are pursuing a degree in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences or any of the pre-professional programs (pre-med, pre-pharmacy, health sciences, pre-law, pre-nursing or pre-social work) you will meet with an academic advisor here: University Advising Center 1600 David Adamany Undergraduate Library advising.wayne.edu 313-577-2680

Each department in the College of Fine, Performing and Communication Arts has its own academic advisors. Students should go to www.cfpca.wayne.edu to find the right academic advisor for their major.

Students pursuing a degree in the College of Engineering should contact the advisor for their specific program to schedule an appointment. Visit engineering.wayne.edu and click on Current Students for a list of academic advisors and faculty members.

College of Education academic advisors have walk-in appointments every Tuesday (excluding holidays) at 9 a.m.-4 p.m., or you can call the Student Services office to make an appointment. Education Building, Room 489 coe.wayne.edu 313-577-1601

Students who are majoring in accounting, finance, global supply chain management, information systems management, management or marketing will receive advising from the School of Business Administration. Walk-in advising is held every Tuesday (excluding holidays) from 9 a.m.-6 p.m. Call the Student Services office in the School of Business Administration to schedule an appointment. Prentis Building, Room 200 business.wayne.edu 313-577-4510


MarksAn I (Incomplete) is given to an undergraduate student when they have not completed all of the coursework as planned for the term and when there is, in the judgment of the instructor, a reasonable probability that the student will complete the course successfully without again attending regular class sessions. The student should be passing at the time the grade of I is given. A written contract specifying the work to be completed should be signed by the student and instructor. Responsibility for completing all coursework rests with the student.

The I will be changed to a letter grade when the student completes the coursework as arranged with the instructor or, if the instructor has left the university, with the chairperson of the department or other instructional unit. Work must be completed within one calendar year. There are no extensions.

An I will not be awarded if, in the instructor’s judgment, it is necessary for the student to attend subsequent sessions of the class. If regular attendance is necessary to complete coursework, the student must register for the class for the semester in which attendance is planned. The student will be assessed tuition and applicable fees for the second registration. If the student decided to register for the course subsequent to the assignment of an I, then the mark of I for the original election will be changed to a WP (Withdrawal/Passing) and the student will be responsible for tuition and applicable fees for the second registration. Students are responsible for notifying their department offering the course that they have reregistered for the course so that the I is not changed to an F (Failure).

Any unchanged I will within one calendar year from the time it was received be changed to an F. This will not be changed.

WF (Official Withdrawal Failing) is given when the student withdraws from the course in accordance with the university policy and the student had earned a failing grade as of the date the withdrawal is approved.

WN (Withdrawal Non-Attendance) is given to students who did not attend any classes and/or did not complete any assignments and/or did not participate in credit-earning activities by the withdrawal date.

WP (Official Withdrawal Passing) is given when the student drops the course in accordance with the university policy and the student had earned a passing grade as of the date the withdrawal is approved.

Y (Deferred) is given when the student is up-to-date with the work of a course planned to continue beyond the semester (i.e., essay, thesis, dissertation and certain courses taken in sequence).

Z (Audit) is given when the student has formally registered for the course for audit. The student’s academic dean or designee must provide written audit authorization to the student at the time of registration.

Grade points are calculated per credit. P, N, S, U, M, ANC, BNC, CNC, PNC, NNC, SNC and MNC grades are not reflected in the grade-point average. Undergraduate courses completed with a P may count toward a degree. S, M or U performance in non-degree courses and certain designated courses such as fieldwork, practicums and internships do not affect grade-point averages.


Student Code of ConductThe primary purpose of the Student Code of Conduct is to promote campus civility and academic integrity and to provide the framework for the imposition of discipline in the university setting. The code gives general notice of prohibited conduct and of the sanctions to be imposed if such conduct occurs. The code specifies the rights of the student and the rights of other parties to the procedure.

The code is designed to ensure that students who are alleged to have engaged in unacceptable behavior receive fair and impartial consideration. It is important that each of us become familiar with the Student Code of Conduct and share the responsibility for maintaining a reputable university committed to academic excellence.

For more information and to read the Student Code of Conduct, visit the Dean of Students Office website at doso.wayne.edu.

Academic misconductAcademic misconduct is any activity that tends to compromise the academic integrity of the institution or undermine the education process. Examples of academic misconduct include:

Plagiarism: To take and use another’s words or ideas as your own without appropriate referencing or citation.

Cheating: Intentionally using or attempting to use or intentionally providing unauthorized materials, information or assistance in any academic exercise. This includes copying from another student’s test paper, allowing another student to copy from your test, using unauthorized material during an exam and submitting a term paper for a current class that has been submitted in a past class without appropriate permission.

Fabrication: Intentional or unauthorized falsification or invention of any information or citation, such as knowingly attributing citations to the wrong source or listing a fake reference in the paper or bibliography.

Other: Selling, buying or stealing all or part of a test or term paper, unauthorized use of resources, enlisting in the assistance of a substitute when taking exams, destroying another’s work, threatening or exploiting students or instructors, or any other violation of course rules as contained in the course syllabus or other written information.

Sanctions if a student is found guilty of academic misconduct:

Disciplinary reprimand: A formal notification to the student that their conduct has been unacceptable and a warning that another offense may result in a more serious sanction.

Disciplinary probation: A disciplinary status that does not interfere with the student’s rights to enroll and attend classes but that includes specified requirements or restrictions.

Suspension: A denial of privilege to continue as a student anywhere in the university and denial of all student rights and privileges for a specified period of time.

Expulsion: A permanent denial of the privilege of continuing or enrolling as a student anywhere within the university and permanent denial of all student rights and privileges.

Transcript disciplinary record: An entry onto the student’s transcript permanently or for a specified period of time, indicating the violation and sanction imposed.

Other sanctions: Other sanctions may be imposed instead of or in addition to those specified above.

Grade-point averageThe grade-point average is the numerical index of your scholastic average. Points are assigned to each letter grade for each hour of credit. For example, a grade of A in a class carrying three credits would be assigned 12 honor points (3x4) and a grade of a C in a class carrying 4 credits would be assigned eight honor points (4x2).

To compute your grade-point average, multiply the honor points assigned to each grade by the number of credits for each course; then add the results and divide by the total number of credits. In the example below, the grade-point average would be 20 (honor points) divided by 7 (credits attempted) = 2.85, nominally a B- average.

Course Grade Honor Credits Total points HIS 1040 A 4 x 3 = 12 BIO 1010 C 2 x 4 = 8

(8 + 12 = 20) ÷ (3 + 4 = 7) GPA = 2.85


Whether you walk onto campus knowing exactly where you want to go or you’re searching for your passion, Wayne State stands ready with hundreds of undergraduate program options.

Selecting classes for registration

It is important to meet with your academic advisor to carefully go over your options before the priority registration period each semester. Among the things to consider when choosing your courses:

How early you need to leave home. If you are commuting, figure out how long it will take to drive to campus, find a parking spot and walk to your classroom. Keep in mind that depending on where you are coming from and at what time, you could be facing rush hour traffic. And don’t forget that bad weather can slow you down.

Are you an early bird or night owl? Think about when you learn best and look for classes that meet around those times.

Give yourself room to breathe. Be sure to leave time to get from one class to the next as well as time to have lunch or review your notes between classes. If every day is hectic, you could burn out quickly.

Do you meet the requirements? Check to make sure you don’t need a prerequisite before taking the class — you may not be able to register for it, or you may get to class and find yourself already behind on the first day.

Have a backup plan. When deciding which classes to take, have a few backups mapped out in case something fills before you can claim your seat.

Consider other time commitments. Think about family and work obligations to avoid conflicts that would mean missed classes or coursework.

How many credits should you take?

Generally, most students take 12-16 credits. The minimum to be a full-time student is 12, but we recommend 15 to keep pace with your degree program. When deciding what’s right for you, keep in mind that for every one hour in class, you should plan to spend at least two hours outside of class doing homework and studying.

12 credits = 12 hours in class+ 24 hours studying 36 hours/week as a full-time student

16 credits = 16 hours in class+ 32 hours studying 48 hours/week as a full-time student

Remember, you need a minimum of 120 credits to graduate, but there are only 168 hours in each week — and some of those should be spent sleeping!


Know What We MeanA glossary of common registration terms

Class Schedule: Use the website classschedule.wayne.edu for registration — as well as to research classes, compose wish lists and get help as needed.

Closed class: During registration, when a class is available, it will have an open status. When a class is full or otherwise not available for registration, it will have a closed status. To inquire about entering a closed class, contact the department offering that class.

CRN (Course Reference Number): A unique number assigned to each class at the university. You may use this when registering for your classes.

Degree audit: A self-service tool within Pipeline that allows you to evaluate your progress toward completion of your degree program. Find instructions and more by selecting STARS for Degree Audit under the Student tab on Pipeline.

Degree completion requirements: A minimum of 120 credit hours is required for all degree programs. See your academic advisor to determine your school or college and program requirements.

Dropping or withdrawing: Students must drop classes in Pipeline, and must do so before the end of the fourth week for a 15-week class. A dropped class will not appear on your transcript. Beginning the fifth week of class, students are no longer allowed to drop but must withdraw from classes by contacting a university official. There may be financial aid and academic consequences at this point. For details, visit reg.wayne.edu.

Supplemental Instruction (SI): A free series of group study lessons led by undergraduates who have successfully completed that course. Find details at success.wayne.edu.

Wish list: A feature in Class Schedule that allows you to find classes and save their names for quick reference during registration.


If you are still deciding on your major or program, focus on your general education and elective courses. Use the Registration Calendar to determine when registration for the next semester will begin. Meet with your advisors in advance to review all of your options and avoid the rush.

As an example, here is how you would register for ENG1020 for Fall 2013:

Step 1: Go to the online Schedule of Classes: classschedule.wayne.edu. Be sure the semester is set to Fall 2013.

Step 3: Select the section of your choice by clicking the Add to Wish List button.

Note the Course Reference Number (CRN).

Step 2: Click on Courses/Subjects > English > ENG1020. (You may also type ENG1020 in the Quick Search box.) Uncheck Do not search classes that are full box to see all of the sections being offered.

Step 4: Once you have all your classes selected in the Wish List, log in with your AccessID and password to register. Print your schedule.

How to register for classes


Step 1: To make an adjustment to your schedule, sign in through Pipeline and select the Student tab. In the lefthand column under Registration, select Register/Add/Drop.

Step 2: On the next page, select Register – Add/Drop Classes.

Step 4b: From the same screen, you also can select the Re-add option from the action bar to add a class previously dropped.

Questions?Contact the Office of the Registrar:

[email protected] 313-577-3541

Step 4a: From this screen, enter the CRN to add a class, or select Drop from the action bar to drop a class.

Step 3: Select the appropriate term and click on the Submit button.

How to make adjustments to your schedule

Study tips

The Academic Success Center offers a wide range of free help — from tutoring and counseling to classes and workshops. To get you started on the right foot, here are a few tips from the center’s academic experts:

1 Use your syllabus as a how-to guide for each course. It’ll help you plan ahead for lecture topics, due dates and exam schedules.

2 Before each class, review lecture notes and other materials from the previous session to make sure you remember and understand everything.

3 Break up large reading assignments into smaller, more manageable sections.

4 Don’t get distracted during study sessions. Turn off your phone and don’t go online.

5 Take note of the time of day when you are most alert and energetic, and study then.

6 Take care of yourself by making smart food choices and getting enough sleep.

7 Don’t study on your bed if you’re feeling sleepy.

8 Do study on the run — make the most of spare minutes between classes or while waiting for an appointment.

General ed classes: Do the write thing

While Wayne State students develop a great depth of knowledge in their chosen field of study, the general education program ensures they are exposed to a broad range of topics providing a variety of ideas and approaches.

It is through general education classes that students improve their skills and are introduced to methods of inquiry, modes of thought, bodies of knowledge, and representative ideas drawn from many academic disciplines. What’s more, general education helps students connect what they learn in the classroom to real-world experiences.

Why take writing courses early in your college career?Learning to write at the college level is an essential part of succeeding at WSU. Research shows that students who pass freshman composition are far more likely to continue into their sophomore year. Related research shows that students who do continue from freshman to sophomore year are very likely to complete their college education and graduate.

General education writing courses are important because they prepare you to succeed in later courses. You’ll write in many of your courses at WSU, and writing varies across professions and communities. Writing in biology is quite different from writing in psychology, and both are different from writing in philosophy, business or law.

To prepare students for writing competency in different courses, careers and situations, WSU has three general education writing requirements: Basic Composition (BC), Intermediate Composition (IC) and Writing Intensive (WI) in the majors. Most students fulfill these requirements by taking a sequence of three or four of the following courses:

n Basic Writing – ENG 1010, a developmental course that prepares students to succeed in freshman writing and other courses

n Introductory College Writing – ENG 1020, WSU’s freshman composition course

n Intermediate Writing – ENG 3010, which prepares students to take required Writing Intensive, or WI, courses in their major

n A major-specific WI course

These courses work in sequence, each building on the last. ENG 1010 explains fundamental reading and writing concepts in depth and examines how these concepts are used in other writers’ work. ENG 1020 guides students in using the concepts in their own writing for audiences in and outside the university. In ENG 3010, students learn how the concepts operate in writing within specific disciplines and professions, to prepare them for WI courses and beyond.

You can make important progress toward succeeding at WSU by taking and passing ENG 1010 or 1020 during your freshman year and ENG 3010 in your sophomore or junior year.

Talk to your academic advisor with questions about your specific plan.

Blackboard basicsAs a Wayne State Student, there’s a good chance you’ll be required to utilize Blackboard. But just how you use this helpful online resource varies depending on the course and the instructor. Blackboard allows you to keep up to date with coursework, stay on top of your grades, collaborate with other classmates and much more.

If you register for an online class, it will be conducted almost entirely through Blackboard. Regardless of the type of class, you’re able to submit assignments, participate in discussion board forums on various course-related topics, and download required lectures and readings — all depending on how your instructor chooses to use the site. You can even create and manage your own blog.

Familiarize yourself with this tool by logging on to blackboard.wayne.edu and choosing one of two training options:

1 Enroll in the free, self-paced online course, Blackboard Basics for Students.

2 Refer to the Blackboard Guide for Students with quick questions about specific sections and tools.

Know What We MeanA glossary of common financial aid terms

Satisfactory academic progress: In order to retain your financial aid eligibility, you must consistently make satisfactory academic progress. The financial aid office will check your progress each semester according to three standards:

• GPA – As an undergraduate, you must maintain a minimum 2.0 GPA.

• Pace – You must complete at least 67 percent of your registered courses with passing grades.

• Time frame – You must not exceed your program credit hours by more than 150 percent.

If you fail to meet any of these criteria, you will be given one warning semester before you are denied financial aid. If you are denied aid due to unsatisfactory progress, you may appeal if you can show a reasonable plan to succeed.

What’s the best way to retain your financial aid? Take classes every semester, work hard and seek academic assistance if you need it.


FAFSA: This abbreviation is commonly pronounced as a word but those letters stand for something important: Free Application for Federal Student Aid. The U.S. Department of Education aims to provide all those eligible with federally funded financial assistance for education beyond high school. You must complete the FAFSA every year (available beginning January 1) using the WSU school code 002329. For details and to apply, visit fafsa.gov.

Grants: Generally awarded based on financial need and require no repayment.

Student Service fee: Assessed to all students, it’s used primarily to maintain, upgrade and replace student computing and technology resources on campus. A small portion is also used to fund student activities on campus, and to enhance programs directed toward improving on-campus activities, including athletics.

Scholarships: Awarded based on many factors, including academic achievement, special talent, ability or financial need. No repayment is required. Visit scholarships.wayne.edu for a complete list.

Subsidized loans: Direct subsidized loans are for students with financial need. WSU reviews the results of your FAFSA and determines the amount you can borrow. You are not charged interest while you’re in school at least half-time and during grace periods and deferment periods.

Unsubsidized loans: You are not required to demonstrate financial need to receive a direct unsubsidized loan. Like subsidized loans, WSU determines the amount you can borrow. Interest accrues (accumulates) on an unsubsidized loan after disbursement.

Verification: This is the process to confirm the information you provided on the FAFSA. You will be asked to provide documentation such as a tax transcript. Verification documents can be tracked on Pipeline.

Work-study: A form of need-based federal financial aid. Work-study provides students with part-time employment opportunities in a variety of on- and off-campus jobs.

Refunds: Your financial aid will be credited to your tuition account to pay for your tuition, fees and any residential housing charges. When these charges are paid, any remaining aid will be refunded to you on your Higher One Card, or by check or direct deposit. This excess aid is for you to use for your books, housing, food, transportation and other miscellaneous costs.

Top Financial Aid Tips1. Take action now. If you are planning to receive aid, don’t delay in taking

the steps necessary to secure your funds.

2. File the FAFSA at fafsa.ed.gov. File the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)

every year. It’s available January 1 for the upcoming academic year at fafsa.ed.gov. Use the WSU federal school code: 002329.

Apply early to receive maximum consideration for all available aid.

Use the IRS Data Retrieval Tool when you file your taxes to transfer that information to your FAFSA.

3. Check Pipeline often at pipeline.wayne.edu. Pipeline will show the status of your financial aid.

4. Read your WSU email. Check your WSU email account regularly for information

from the Office of Student Financial Aid.

5. Read all materials the Office of Student Financial Aid sends you.

Read every message about financial aid in its entirety.

6. Plan ahead to limit debt. Create a budget for yourself before you borrow funds.

7. Do well in school. Stay in school, work hard and seek academic assistance

if you need help. If you fail to make satisfactory academ-ic progress, you will lose your eligibility for financial aid.

8. Be aware of the enrollment requirements. Enroll full-time to receive maximum aid. The Office of

Student Financial Aid is required to reduce many grant funds if you enroll less than full-time. Be aware of the census date. The classes you are enrolled in as of the census date will determine the amount of grant funding you will receive.

9. Pay your bill. You must pay your tuition and fees regardless of your

financial aid status.

10. Visit finaid.wayne.edu. Bookmark this website and check in often for updated

reading material, forms and valuable information about the financial aid process.


Use Your Financial Aid Wisely

Be a smart borrower Student loans can be a good way to finance your education. However, just like car loans, mortgages and credit cards, student loans are loans that must be repaid by the student or the parent, depending upon who takes out the loan.

Calculate your needs Our cost of attendance figures are only estimates used to calculate aid eligibility. Your actual costs will vary depending upon your choices of housing and other expenses. We encourage you to develop a personal budget for the year based on your own actual costs.

Tuition and fees for fall and winter: __________

Housing and meal plan: __________

Books and supplies for fall and winter: __________

Other estimated expenditures: __________

Total estimated costs: __________

Total aid for fall and winter: __________

Find your specific aid amount for fall and winter semesters in Pipeline under “My Award Information.”

If your total aid is more than your university charges, you will receive a refund to use for other expenses. Aid is released at the beginning of each semester. Please keep in mind that your aid may be adjusted if you are not enrolled full-time or do not fulfill all award requirements.

Use the tuition and fee calculators available at apps.reg.wayne.edu/tuition. Housing rates can be found at housing.wayne.edu.

Borrow only what is necessary to finance your education.

Look for alternatives to borrowing, such as scholarships, grants and work-study.

Use the budgeting tools at cashcourse.org/wsu.

Find out what you owe at NSLDS (National Student Loan Data System), nslds.ed.gov. NSLDS is a government website where borrowers can track and monitor all of their federal student loans.

Keep in mind that students have the right to cancel or reduce their student loan prior to disbursement. Visit our website at finaid.wayne.edu for more information.

Understanding the student loan repayment process is a crucial part of borrowing.

Key things to remember about using student loans:


FAFSA

• You began to search and apply for outside scholarships for the 2013-14 school year.

• You began requesting letters of recommendation to submit with scholarship applications.

• You and a parent each should have acquired a Personal Identification Number (PIN) at pin.ed.gov. The PIN is used to electronically sign the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).

• You could complete and submit the 2013-14 FAFSA online at fafsa.ed.gov as early as January 1, 2013.

• We recommended submitting the FAFSA by February 15, 2013, to allow time for processing. The FAFSA deadline for state aid is March 1, 2013.

• Once your FAFSA was complete, your Student Aid Report (SAR) could be checked at fafsa.ed.gov.

• After WSU reviewed your complete FAFSA, you received a financial aid award notification. We mail one paper award letter. Subsequent electronic award notifications are sent to your WSU email account and direct you to Pipeline to view your financial aid award package. Log on with your WSU AccessID at pipeline.wayne.edu.

• Pipeline showed any outstanding financial aid requirements. Some documents could be downloaded from the Financial Aid website at finaid.wayne.edu.

• We continued to send out award notifications.

• Financial aid awards and requirements could be reviewed at pipeline.wayne.edu.

• Estimate your personal expenses to determine a budget for the coming school year.

• If you choose to borrow student loans, you should accept all or a portion of your loan offers in Pipeline. You also must complete entrance loan counseling and loan promissory notes.

• If you are expecting a financial aid refund to use for other expenses, sign up for direct deposit in Pipeline at pipeline.wayne.edu.

• A high school transcript showing your graduation date is a requirement. Ask your high school to send this to the WSU Admissions Office. Without this transcript, we can’t apply your aid.

• Parents who choose to borrow the PLUS loan should complete the Parent PLUS loan application and promissory note at studentloans.gov.

• Graduate students who choose to borrow the Graduate PLUS loan should complete Graduate PLUS loan entrance counseling, the loan application and the promissory note at studentloans.gov.

• Reminder: Submit any missing documents to the financial aid office by June 30, 2013.

• Review your eBill in Pipeline at pipeline.wayne.edu.

• Note: Any student who files the FAFSA after July 1, 2013, is considered a late applicant and may experience delays in receiving a financial aid package.

• Payment is due for the fall 2013 semester in mid-August.

• Fall semester financial aid payments begin in late August, if all required documents have been submitted and processed. Monitor your aid and account balance in Pipeline at pipeline.wayne.edu.

• To avoid overspending, use the resources at cashcourse.org/wsu.

• Classes start in late August. Your journey to graduation begins!

Electronic Bills (eBills)

Refunds If you are awarded more financial aid than the cost of tuition, fees and housing, or if you drop a class and are owed a refund of tuition, your student account may have a credit balance and you may be due a refund.

Refunds can be released to you in one of three ways:

1 Direct deposit into an existing checking or savings account (refunds available within three business days).

2 Direct deposit into a new checking account set up with our vendor, Higher One (refunds available the day after WSU releases them to Higher One).

3 Paper check from Higher One mailed to your address on file with WSU (refunds available in five or more business days).

You will receive a myWSUCard debit MasterCard in a green envelope. You will use this card to activate your refund preference. It is not a credit card. Do not throw it away unless you want to receive your refund as a paper check.

You must use this card to authenticate yourself with Higher One. The information on the card validates you as a WSU student and allows you to select your refund preference. Instructions are enclosed with the card.

If you choose to set up a checking account with Higher One, your myWSUCard becomes a debit card. If you do not choose a refund preference, you will, by default, be issued a paper check from Higher One.

WSU Police DepartmentWayne State University’s law enforcement professionals work around the clock — literally! — to ensure a safe, pleasant and user-friendly campus for students, faculty, staff and visitors.

Whether in patrol cars, on mountain bikes or behind desks, the approximately 50 dedicated men and women of the Wayne State University Police Department (WSUPD) handle all police, criminal and safety matters on campus. The department’s members seek to vigorously and faithfully enforce the law with uncompromised integrity and without bias, and to provide community-oriented services with efficiency, professionalism and courtesy. The full-service department is available to the university community 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year.

Each officer has at least a bachelor’s degree and many have advanced degrees. Nearly half are Wayne State graduates. Officers complete an intensive training course at a state-certified police academy, followed by a demanding 13-week program at Wayne State and ongoing refresher courses.

All WSU police officers are fully licensed and sworn peace officers commissioned under state law, and each officer has been commissioned as a Detroit Police officer. Officers are empowered to enforce all federal and state laws on and off campus — they make arrests, investigate crimes, issue citations for traffic offenses or parking violations, and take any other necessary action to address any criminal or public infraction in the vicinity of the WSU campus. WSU police officers work very closely with the Detroit Police Department, Wayne County Sheriff’s Department, the Michigan State Police, and federal law enforcement authorities.

Personal safety and crime prevention efforts are the responsibility of the entire Wayne State University community and it is important that everyone takes responsibility for the safety of their person and property. The key to preventing crime is awareness, which can be best accomplished through education. For a full lineup of prevention programs and services (including RAD self-defense classes), visit police.wayne.edu.

Your safetyBlue Light emergency phones: Located at each building entrance and several other spots across campus, these highly visible phones offer direct contact to the WSU Police Department at the touch of a button.

Broadcast Messaging: This system can send you an email or text message alert when campus is closed for snow days or other emergencies. Opt in on Pipeline.

Speed dial: Take a minute to program the WSU Police Department’s emergency number into your cell phone: 313-577-2222.

VIN etching: Endorsed by many auto insurance companies, the vehicle identification number is permanently etched into the surface of at least six windows of a vehicle. The WSU Police Department regularly hosts free VIN etching sessions for all members of the campus community.

Commuting Safety Tips:

n The quickest route is not always the safest. It may be worth leaving 10 minutes earlier to travel a slower, safer route.

n Carpool if possible.

n Keep your vehicle well maintained.

n If you are stranded, do not leave your car.

n Carry a cell phone.

n Always drive with your doors locked.

For more advice, see the Safety Tips section of police.wayne.edu.

Freshman Campus Connector program

WSU is committed to your successful transition into our intellectual, social and cultural community. We understand that your first year can be challenging and rewarding at the same time. To help make your transition as smooth as possible, you will be assigned a full-time member of the staff or faculty as your WSU Campus Connector during Orientation Part Two.

Along with a group of other first-year students, you will meet with your Campus Connector, who will answer all of your questions and guide you to appropriate resources as needed. Your Campus Connecter will then call or email during the first few weeks of the semester to see how you’re doing.

This program is a two-way process. Feel free to write or call your Campus Connector when you have questions, need help or just to say hi. If you have not heard from your contact lately, don’t hesitate to send an email letting them know how things are going.

Your Campus Connector is one of many resources available to help boost your success at Wayne State. Contact Campus Connector Program Coordinator Linda Seatts at 313-577-1010 or [email protected] with any questions.

True Warriors: Sports at WSUA trio of Wayne State University coaches received GLIAC Coach of the Year accolades during the winter sports season for the 2012-13 school year: men’s and women’s swimming head coach Sean Peters (pictured below right), men’s basketball head coach David Greer (left) and women’s basketball head coach Carrie Lohr (center).

Peters’ men’s teams have finished in the top eight at the NCAA Championships the last nine seasons, while his women’s squads have been either first or second at the NCAA Championships each of the last five years. Greer led the Warriors to their second NCAA basketball tournament appearance in the last three seasons while Lohr’s women’s squad recorded the first two NCAA tournament wins in school history, reaching the Sweet Sixteen.

Know What We MeanA glossary of common campus life terms

Fishbowl: The lounge of the Prentis Building, which is where the School of Business Administration is housed. Take one look inside and you’ll see why.

Keast Commons: Named for William Rea Keast, Wayne State’s fifth president, this walkway behind the Towers Residential Suites is a popular gathering area.

Mall: Ferry Mall, Gullen Mall — where are all the stores? You won’t find Cinnabon at Wayne State’s malls. Instead, these are walkways offering direct routes to your classes, activities and more.

Old Main: Wayne State’s signature building on the southwest corner of Cass and Warren avenues.

SCB: Short for the Student Center Building, which is the heart of campus activity and houses everything from the Dean of Students Office to Taco Bell. Find out more at studentcenter.wayne.edu.

The South End: The official WSU student newspaper since 1967 is published on Wednesdays during the fall and winter semesters. Grab a free copy from newsstands across campus and read it online at thesouthend.wayne.edu. During the spring/summer semester, an e-edition is posted each Monday.


Parking on campus You’ll probably hear a lot about parking at Wayne State. In fact, parking is likely to be at a premium at any university situated in the middle of a bustling city. However, parking at WSU can be very easy. Even when the closest structures and lots are full, there is plenty of perimeter parking with free shuttle service available.

The best way to approach parking, and the method that will give you the most peace of mind, is to purchase a semester-long assigned parking pass ($260 for most structures, or $340 for premium parking, at the time of publication). This allows unlimited entry and access to a designated structure or lot, which you’ll choose based on availability and where you spend most of your time on campus.

Each new parking pass customer will pay a one-time fee ($20 at the time of publication) for an RFID tag, which hangs from your rearview mirror to allow for quick, hands-free entry and exit. The hangtag is linked to your OneCard and all current (and future) parking assignments, so hold on to it throughout your WSU career, even if you take a semester off from assigned parking.

General parking is another option, allowing you to pay as you go, with access to any of the general student parking areas. Deposit funds to your OneCard (see page 33 ) for easy in-and-out access and to take advantage of the discounted student OneCard parking rate of $3.25 ($4.25 for premium parking areas). The general public may park in designated WSU lots and structures at the public rate, typically around $6, using a credit/debit card for entrance and exit and cash at limited locations.

Visit parking.wayne.edu to see up-to-the-minute availability of open spots, or check while you’re on the go using the Wayne State mobile app.

To purchase a pass or get more information, visit parking.wayne.edu and click the Student Parking tab or go to the OneCard/Parking Service Center in room 257 of the Welcome Center.

Midtown Connection Shuttle

Wayne State currently offers a complimentary shuttle service that allows you to park your car and get from one part of campus to another simply by showing your OneCard (see page 33). These 23-passenger mini-buses run in 15- and 30-minute intervals Monday through Friday from 7 a.m.-6 p.m. on the main campus, and until 9 p.m. on the medical campus. Hours are reduced during the spring and summer semesters.

Eating at WSUYou have plenty of dining options at WSU. You could grab a quick bite in the Student Center Building at Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, KFC or Campus Grounds. Other quick campus favorites include two Starbucks cafés (one on Anthony Wayne Drive and one in the WSU Bookstore), two Subway shops (one in Towers Residential Suites and one across from the Welcome Center on the corner of Woodward and Warren), Jimmy John’s, Einstein Bros. Bagels, Freshens and Temptations Indian Cuisine. There’s also Salad 101, LaPita Fresh, and the new Maccabees at Midtown (now open in the Maccabees Building at 5057 Woodward). You can use your OneCard at all of them.

If you’re looking for lots of delicious, healthy choices, head to one of Wayne State’s two dining halls. You don’t have to live on campus to purchase a meal plan, good in both locations:

n Towers Café in the Towers Residential Suites: All-you-care-to-eat breakfast, lunch and dinner with a variety of options, including pizza, homestyle favorites, international entrees, sandwich and salad bars, dessert stations and more.

n Gold ’n’ Greens in Ghafari Hall: A unique dining experience that is certified kosher dairy featuring 100 percent vegetarian fare. Diners also have vegan and gluten-free options — all prepared with care and full of flavor.

Find weekly menus for both dining halls at wsu.avifoodweb.com. Feel free to pop in without a meal plan. Both locations accept cash or OneCard payments.

For study sessions that stretch long past sundown, check out The Grille in the lower level of the Student Center Building. It serves up sandwiches, wraps, salads, chicken tenders and fries every Monday through Thursday from 9 p.m. until 2 a.m. Use your meal plan, cash or OneCard to pay.

Meal plans Semester meal plans are purchased through the Office of Housing and Residential Life. Students who live in the residence halls are required to purchase a meal plan, but those who commute often do as well — the convenience and variety can’t be beat!

Semester rates

Warrior Pass (unlimited dining hall meals) + 25 Warrior Dollars = $1,560

15 meals/week + 100 Warrior Dollars = $1,480

10 meals/week + 200 Warrior Dollars = $1,480

5 meals/week + 50 Warrior Dollars = $646

These rates are for the 2012-13 academic year. Meals reset each week. Please note that there are additional meal plan options for commuting students.

Warrior Dollars can only be used at on-campus food vendors, including Jimmy John’s, Starbucks, Taco Bell, Barnes and Nibble, La Pita, The Grille, Subway, Pizza Hut and more. They reset each semester and do not carry over to the next semester. For details, visit housing.wayne.edu, click Campus Dining and choose Meal Plan Options.

Industry, Intelligence, IntegrityAll about Wayne State’s past, present and future

Our historyWayne State University’s story begins in 1868 with the founding of the Detroit Medical College, now the School of Medicine. In 1881, the Detroit Normal Training School was established, which is now the College of Education. The now-iconic Old Main Hall was built in 1896 as Central High School, which began adding college classes in 1913. Those classes evolved into the Detroit Junior College (offering a two-year general education program) in 1917, which became the College of the City of Detroit (with four-year degree programs) in 1923, and now is the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.

In 1924, the College of Pharmacy was organized, and six years later the first regular graduate courses were offered in liberal arts and education. Frank Cody became the first president in 1933, with the existing colleges united into a university organization, eventually named Wayne University, taken from Wayne County in honor of General Anthony Wayne.

Wayne University continued to grow, adding the School of Social Work, the Law School, and the School of Business Administration. In 1956, it was renamed Wayne State University. In 1963, Wayne State was designated one of Michigan’s three constitutionally established universities.

Our visionWayne State University’s vision is to become the model public research university engaged in the urban community.

Our missionAs a nationally recognized urban, public research university, Wayne State’s mission is to create knowledge and prepare a diverse body of students to excel in an increasingly complex and global society.

Our goalsFive specific goals result from Wayne State’s strategic vision for the university. These goals articulate its aspirations and provide a framework for the way in which its new plan will be translated into action.

Wayne State University has pledged:

n to promote an exceptional learning experience.

n to improve the university’s stature as a nationally ranked research institution.

n to nurture a strong and dynamic campus community.

n to sustain our role as an engaged university in an urban environment.

n to diversify and broaden the university’s funding base.

Wayne State intends to remain one of the nation’s most respected public research universities, and feels that these goals provide a way to make that happen. National recognition is not an end in itself; what matters most is how Wayne State’s progress as shaped by these goals will position the university to benefit its students and, ultimately, its city, state, nation and the world.

Inside the universityYou know, of course, that you’re at college. But did you know that Wayne State University is made up of 13 different colleges and schools? This is how similar degree programs are grouped together in a logical manner. Those schools and colleges are:

Discover Detroit Every day at Wayne State offers a new opportunity for residential and commuting students alike to find out more about themselves — and their city. The Midtown neighborhood that surrounds campus is a place where culture, creativity and collaboration turn dreamers into doers. And it can be a lot of fun too!

On campus, many university-sponsored events and activities enhance the college experience, creating a student atmosphere that’s anything but ordinary. From free concerts and guest lectures to ice skating and stand-up comedy shows, there’s something to do just about every night of the week. And when you’re ready for more, some of Detroit’s shiniest jewels are only a short walk away.

Midtown is ideal for exploring and experiencing the best the city has to offer. You can visit acclaimed art galleries and museums such as the internationally known Detroit Institute of Arts, take in a show at a historic theatre such as the Fox or Masonic Temple, or unwind after classes in one of the city’s many unique eateries.

Whether you choose to soak up the sounds of the world-renowned Detroit Symphony Orchestra; head down Woodward to cheer for the Lions, Tigers or Red Wings; spend an evening at the Michigan Opera Theatre or catch an off-Broadway production, you can’t lose. You have the good fortune to be going to school in the cultural epicenter of a city on the rise.

ID Last Name First Name

Wayne State University allows the release of directory information about its students to third parties. In addition, the student’s name, WSU e-mail address, college, and major will be made automatically available on the university’s online directory, accessible at http://wayne.edu. If you do not want directory information released to third parties or displayed on the directory, you must notify the university using this form.

There is an exception to this restriction. Federal law mandates that educational institutions receiving federal financial aid funds release some student information to U.S. Department of Defense military recruiters upon request. Accordingly, students may not opt out of this type of release. Information that will be released to the Department of Defense is marked with an asterisk.

Once you instruct us to not release directory information, you need take no further action.

Wayne State University considers the following information as directory information, subject to release.

1. *Name, Address, and telephone number 2. *Age, or date of birth 3. *Level of Education, academic major, and any degrees received 4. *Educational institution most recently enrolled 5. Degrees, Honors, and Awards received 6. Email Address 7. Participation in sports or other activities 8. Height and weight of member of athletic teams

I request that Wayne State University release no information about me to third parties, except as required by law. I understand I can revoke this restriction at any time by informing the Office of the Registrar in writing.

Notes

Hymn to WayneTo thee, our Alma Mater,

Homage we bring. Brave hearts raise grateful voices

Thy praise to sing. Young art thou, young and strong; Renowned shalt thou live, and long;

Honors to thee will throng — And Fame to thee cling.

We laud thee, Alma Mater, Guardian of Right.

Thou art our guide, our mentor — Thy name shines bright.

Keep Learning’s light aflame, And hold Truth a sacred name,

Honor, thy steadfast aim. All hail to thy might.

(Nicholas Stanley Oates ’29)

Wayne U. will march along. And at the end our voice blend

in Wayne U.’s vict’ry song.
