5 MISSION AND VISION University Mission Statement Winston-Salem State University is a public university whose primary mission is to offer high quality educational programs at the baccalaureate level for diverse and motivated students. Master s and intermediate level programs for professional study are also available in the Winston-Salem State University Graduate Center through inter-institutional agreements. While the primary focus is on teaching and learning, the university encourages scholarship and creative relationships with the community in ways which complement its educational mission. The academic program comprises three components general education, specialized education and continuing education. The area of general education provides for all students the academic foundations and cultural experiences essential to a liberal arts education. The area of specialized education provides students with the experiences necessary to master an academic discipline in preparation for graduate and professional schools and/or employment. In this regard the university has a special role to offer professional programs especially relevant to the health sciences. The area of continuing education offers individuals opportunities to enrich life or improve vocational status through constant, periodic or occasional study. Shared Vision Statement Winston-Salem State University will be a premier, student-centered HBCU* where all students can maximize their options and fulfill their potential. Excellent academic programs with a strong liberal arts foundation will be offered within a learning culture which exemplifies excellence in teaching and scholarship, emphasizes faculty-student interaction, promotes lifelong learning, and prepares individuals for leadership and service in the global society. Winston-Salem State University will create an efficient service-oriented culture that is responsive to the needs of students, faculty, staff, alumni and the community. * Historically Black College or University NOTE: All summer session courses are subject to change and must meet the minimum enrollment.

Students should submit to the registrar, dean, academic department chairperson, or other appropriate official, written requests that identify the records(s) they wish to inspect. The university official will make arrangements for access and notify the student of the time and place where the records may be inspected. If the university official to whom the request is submitted does not maintain the records, that official shall advise the student of the correct official to whom the request should be addressed. 2. The right to request the amendment of the student s education records that the student believes is inaccurate. Students may ask the university to amend a record that they believe is inaccurate.
