| <FONT SIZE=+1>About 30% of the new students SJ enrolled each year are transfers.</FONT> | |
| You are definitely not alone as a new transfer to SJ.</LI> | |
| <LI> | |
| <FONT SIZE=+1>SJ has a child care center. </FONT> | |
| If you have children, SJ's child care center is licensed by the state to | |
| provide care for infants (<I>six weeks to 17 months</I> <I>--- maximum | |
| of six</I>), toddlers (<I>18 months and walking to 29 months--15 max</I>), | |
| and 29 preschoolers and elementary agers. Fees are billed monthly | |
| and vary with the age of the child. More information is available | |
| from the Director of the Child Care Center <I>[(907)747-5240].</I></LI> | |

| <FONT SIZE=+1>SJ is a small college.</FONT> <FONT SIZE=-1> </FONT>It | |
| is difficult to get lost in the shuffle here. We believe that <B>effective</B> | |
| education is primarily a <B>collaborative</B> process, requiring the interaction | |
| of student with teacher:</LI> | |
| <OL><I>The essence of higher education is a professor and a student meeting | |
| in a room where they can call each other by name and hear each other speak. | |
| The other, more expensive things--computers, high tech audiovisuals, administrators, | |
| even transcripts--can be useful, but are not essential.</I> | |

| Transfer students who have earned an associate degree at an accredited school are <U>not</U> required to take SJ's general education core courses, with one exception: one course in <I>"the world role of Christianity"</I> (unless you have already taken such a | |
| course).</LI> | |
| <LI> | |
| For a private college, SJ's costs are remarkably <B>low</B>. Our 99-00 tuition (presuming <I>zero</I> financial aid--which is highly | |
| <B>un</B>likely!) is only <B>$6850</B> per year. (The average tuition | |
| for four-year colleges in 98-99 was <B>$14,508</B> per year!)</B></LI> | |
