General Inforn1ation
BRIEF HISTORY OF THE UNIVERSITY SYSTEM OF GEORGIA
The beginnings of public higher education in the State can be traced to 1784 when the General Assembly set aside 40, 000 acres of land for the endownent of "a college or semi nary of learning." During the fo l lowing year, a charter was granted for establishment of the University of Georgia. The State later provided appropriations for establishing the following branches : School of Technology in Atlanta, 1885 (now Georgia Tech); Georgia Normal and Industrial College for Girls, Milledgeville, 1889 ( now Georgia Col lege); Georgia State Industrial College for Colored Youths, Savannah, 1890 (now Savannah State College); and the South Georgia Normal School, Valdosta, 1906 (now Valdosta State College). Later, the legislature established an agricultural and mechanical arts (A&M) school in each congressiona l district. During this period, higher education was uncoordinated, underfinanced, and generally in chaotic condi ti on .
In 1929, Governor L. G. Hardman established a committee which was charged with recommending alterations to the condition. The most significant idea was the creation of a central governing board. On August 28 , 1931, the Reorganization Act was signed which created the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia. The Act called for the governor to appoint eleven members, one from each congressional district, and one at large.
In its January 1932 meeting, the Board adopted the following Statement of Plan :
It is the conviction of the Board of Regents that the people of Georgia intended to ordain by the Act creating the Board that the twenty-six institutions comprising the University System should no longer f unction as separate, independent, and unrelated entities competing with each other for patronage and financia l support.
The manifest purpose of the Act creating the Board of Regents is to unify and coordinate the work of these institutions so that the educational program of each shall be integrated with t hat of every other institution and with the system as a whole. Th e result aimed at is a correlated, harmonious , and symmetrical structure free from wasteful duplicat i ons, but providi ng t he maximum of educational opportunity to the student s of the State. In short, the emphasi s has been shifted from the interests of particular institutions to the interests of the State.
While the traditions, the welfare and the prestige of the several branches of the system will be an object of care on the part of the Board, all of their problems are to be finally resolved by the answer to the question: What will best serve the educational interests of the State as a whole ?
With this as the paramount consideration, the constant aim of this body wil l be to establ ish and maintain a system of higher education that wi 11 command the sympathy and support of our educati anal leaders, and at the same time successfully meet our needs by offeri ng the young men and women of Georgia the maximum of education.
To accompli s h this result , the Regent s wi 11, aft er ca r eful study, t ake su ch steps that to them seem bes t to coordinate and unify the se institutions so that they will be relat ed in purpose and r e gulated in scope . The only competition in which the se schools will hereafter enga ge wi l l be for preeminence in service and scholarship.
The Reorganization Act of 1931 transferred to the new Board the responsibility for 26 institutions. The Board began imm edi at e r eo r gani zati on by aboli s hing th e A&M s ch ool s and two ad diti onal s chools and cr eat i ng two new institutions. The net result was that the System wa s reduced to 18 ins titutions. The earl iest recorded enrollment was 8 ,03 5 in Fall 1933. The System wa s appropriated $1,900,500 by the Stat e f or 1932- 33 but received only $1 , 624,928 . In 1941 , the Southern As sociation of Colleges and Schools withdrew th e accreditation of 10 Univer s ity System in s titutions becaus e of irr eg ularit i es and incidences of out s ide interfe r e nce into aca demi c activiti es at the i nstitutions. In 1943, newly-elected Governor Ellis Arnall s pon s ored a Constitutional amendment to remove such interference by making the Board a Con stitutional body. The amendment was overwh elmingly approved by t he vot ers .
Th e prin c ipl es enumerat e d in the 1932 policy statement have guided t he deve l opment of a uni fi ed system. Today the Board continue s to have Constitutional auth ority to gov e rn, control, and manage the University System, as reaffirmed in the appr ova l of t he ne w Stat e Constitution in 1982 . These powe r s include the authority for progr am approval or di s continuance, internal reallocation of the budget, facilitie s con struction, and deci s ion s concerning addin g new in st i tution s , up grading or downgrading the lev e l of an i ns tituti on, or clos ure or merge r of i ns t i tut i on s .
The Un i ve r s ity Sy s t em i s curr ently compo s ed of 33 in s tituti ons ( 4 univ ersity l evel i ns titutions , 14 seni or colleges , 15 junior college s ). In additi on, four of th e juni or colle ges maintai n a po st secondary vocati onal- techni cal uni t in coope rat ion wi t h th e St ate Board of Educati on.

ADVISORY COUNCILS
UNIVERSITY SYSTEM ADVISORY COUNCIL
The University System Advisory Council has the power to make recommendations to the Chancellor and through him to the Board of Regents regarding educational and administrat i ve matters of concern to the University System. Membership is composed of the Chancellor, the Executive Vice Chancellor, and the presidents of the 33 institutions. The Advisory Council has both academic and administrative committees which formulate recommendations to be presented to the Advisory Council for consideration. Those matters originating with academic committees are first considered by the Administrative Committee on Academic Affairs prior to consideration by the Advisory Council. Membership on academic committees is limited to one representative per institution offering work in the field ~th which the committee is concerned. Administrative committees are of two types: those in which representation consists of one representative from each institution and those with selective representation which are appointed by the Chancellor for the study of a restricted area of concern.

UNIVERSITY SYSTEM STUDENT ADVISORY COUNCIL
The purpose of the Student Advisory Council (S.A.C.) is to provide a forum for communication and recommendation between students enrolled in University System institutions and the Chancellor, the Board of Regents, state government, and the public, concerning problems and issues in student-related areas. The S.A.C. also functions to promote better student government in System institutions. The S.A.C. meets five times a year and works closely with an advisor from the Chancellor's staff as well as the Chancellor. The Council also meets annually with the Board to present a report of its activities and recommendations.

The University System Computer Network (USCNJ functions as a consortium of the University System institutions, sharing computing resources, facilities, and expertise through a state-wide telecommunications network. Founded in 1970, the USCN is governed by an executive committee of elected representatives from each of the si x geographical regions in the State. Administrative responsibility for the network resides with the Assistant Vice Chancellor-Computing Systems. Facilities management services for the Control Data mainframe computers which serve the entire netowrk, as well as the state-wide telecommunications services, are provided by the University of Georgia in Athens. The Network Services staff, also located in Athens, provides consulting and user assistance to the participating institutions.
Several large mainframe computers provide general computing services to the participating institutions, supplementing facilities available on the individual campuses. The Control Data CYBER 850 supports academic computing (instruction and research) and the CYBER 825 supports administrative applications operating in a distri buted data processing environment. A dedicated PLATO system, operating on a CYBER 845 computer, provides computer-assigned instruction not only to System institutions but also to some public schools and private organizations throughout the State. The CYBER 845/CYBER 205 complex provides high performance "Class VI " computing via a vector processing architecture for advanced scientific research throughout the Southeast. Three university-level institutions, Georgia Institute of Technology, Georgia State University, and the University of Georgia, also make one or more of their large mainframe computers available as hosts on the telecommunications network. Services available from the University of Georgia, for example, include an IBM 3081 as well as the CYBERPLUS supercomputer.
The telecommunications network uses statistical time division multiplexing equipment (Halcyon) located throughout the State, connected through wideband (50kbs) dedicated telephone trunk lines to programmable data switches (Develcon) on the University of Georgia campus. Some public schools, local and county governments, and state government agencies also make use of the USCN computing facilities via the telecommunications network, as do cooperative extension offices, small business development centers, and other public service units throughout the State. Georgia Institute of Technology, in Atlanta, and the University of Georgia, Athens, are nodes on the national BITNET telecommunications network.

GEORGIA PUBLIC HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES AND BIRTH RATES
A major determinant of University System enrollment is the size of the entering freshman class which is
related to the pool of high school graduates in the same year. With decreasing birth rates from the 1960's and 1970's, the number of high school graduates began a projected ten-year decline in 1983. The percent decline in projected University System enrollment is not as great due to the anticipated increases in enrollment of nontraditional students and improved college participation rates and retention efforts.

ADMISSIONS STANDARDS AND PROGRAMS
Mini.um Admissions Requirements
The following minimum freshman admissions requirements have been approved by the Board of Regents: a. Graduation from an accredited secondary school or aGED certificate which satisfies the minimum score requirements of the State of Georgia b. Completion of the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT)
Students must have a minimum of a 1.80 high school grade point average (on a 4.0 scale and on "academic work" only), or a 250 verbal SAT score, or a 280 mathematics SAT score. Students scoring below 330 on the verbal SAT or below 330 on the mathematics SAT must be tested for entry into appropriate developmental studies courses (see Developmental Studies section elsewhere in this document). Satisfaction of these minimums does not guarantee admission to any University System institution since institutions may establish both higher and additional admissions requirements.

Jo1nt Enrollment and Early Admission Programs
The purpose of the programs is to provide academically talented high school students with opportunities for acceleration of their formal academic programs. A joint enrollment student is one who is enrolled in courses for college credit while continuing in high school. An early admissions student is one who enrolls as a full-time college student following completion of the junior year in high school. Minimum admissions requirements are 1) a minimum combined Scholastic Aptitude Test score of 850, 2) a minimum high school grade point average of 3.0 in academic subjects, 3) written approval (joint enrollment) or written recommendation (early admission) of the high school principal, and 4) written consent of parent or guardian (if student is a minor). Institutions may establish higher admissions standards or additional admissions requirements for either or both programs. In Fall 1985, 413 students were enrolled through the program.

REGENTS TESTING PROGRAM
PURPOSE: The Regents Testing Program ( RTP) was instituted in all System institutions to 1) provide System-wide information on the status of student competence in the areas of reading and writing and 2) provide a uniform means of identifying those students who fail to attain the minimum levels of competence in the areas of reading and writing. Passing the test became a requirement for graduation from undergraduate degree programs (associate and baccalaureate) in 1973.
The test is comprised of two parts, reading and essay, and is administered during a testing period at all System institutions. Each institution is responsible for its own test administration and arranges for supervisors and proctors. A test manual is provided. After the last test administration, all testing materials are returned to the RTP office for scoring.
SCORING: The reading part of the test is a 60-item, multiple choice test based on ten reading passages and five to eight questions about each passage. The questions are designed to assess vocabulary, comprehension, and analysis skills. The answers are machine scored and the raw score is converted to a standard score with a range of 01-99. The current cut-off score for the reading section is 61.
For the essay part, students have one hour in which to choose and write on one of the two topics that are given. The completed essays are then distributed by the RTP office among six centers in the State where raters from System institutions score them. Essays are identified by social security number only so raters do not know the identity of the student or the institution. Three independent raters score each essay on a 4-point scale (4-supe~ior performance; 3-clearly passing performance; 2-barely passing performance; !-substandard or failing performance). The final score is the rating on which at least two of the three raters agree or the middle rating if there is no agreement. An essay is given a failing grade only if at least two of the three raters assign a failing grade.
REMEDIATION: All students who have taken and have not passed both parts of the test during the quarter in which they will have earned 75 hours of degree credit must take non-degree credit courses in remedial reading and/or writing until they have passed both components of the test. Institutions may not delay initial testing beyond the student's having earned the sixtieth (60) hour of degree credit . If a student fails only one part of the test, he is required to repeat only that part. There is no limit on the number of times a student may take remediati on or retake the test, although some institutions have policies whereby repeaters are allowed to retake the test only when quantifiable progress has been made.

MISCELLANEOUS ACADEMIC POLICIES AND PROGRAMS
CORE CURRICULUM
The institutions of the University System share a common general mission in providing a Core Curriculum for all entering freshmen. The purpose is to aid and facil i tate the educational progress of students as they pursue baccalaureate degrees within and among the units of the Universi ty System. It is designed to constitute the freshman and sophomore years of study and assure the transfer student that Core Curriculum courses successfully completed at one University System i nstitution, or a fractional part thereof, will be accepted at another University System unit and apply toward a baccalaureate degree. The Core also provides for the preservation of the maximum possible amount of institutional autonomy.
The Core Curriculum is composed of ninety quarter credit hours of study divided among four areas of which sixty hours are in general education and thirty in a major area of study.

r. Humanities
II. Mathematics and Natural Science
II r. Social Sciences
IV. Major area of study

go
The result has been that fewer transfer students lose credit and institutions, part icul arly junio r colleges, are no longer placed in the diffic ult position of attempting to provide excessive curricu l ar offerings to satisfy lower division requirements in various baccalaureate degree programs offered at al l four-year institutions. Each institution has developed its Core Curriculum wi thin the broad context of the above plan. The list is maintained in the Core Curriculum Handbook and is updated periodically as changes are recommended.

INTERNATIONAL INTERCULTURAL STUDIES PROGRAM (I ISP)
The purpose of the program is to recommend to the Chancellor app roval of any program with a foreign travel component. Its mission is to internationalize the outlook, curriculum, and campus of the 33 colleges and universitites in the System. It does so by providing opportunities for study abroad throughout the academic year (15 programs this year in the summer ) , exchange opportunities for both students and faculties, faculty development projects abroad, and development of joint research projects with foreign faculty. Other efforts are focused on assisting institut i ons with foreign stude nt recruitment, creating area institutes (i.e., Far Eastern Studies , Africa n Studies) and, generally, promoting a more significant understanding of global issues and cu lture. Up until Fall 1gs4, this program was called Studies Abroad.

CALENDAR OF ACADEMIC ACTIVITIES
Quarter System
All institutions in the System operate on a quarter system with the exception of the Law School at the University of Georgia which was granted permission by the Board to operate on a semester system for accreditation purposes.
Length of Quarter
The three regular quarters of the academic year (fall, winter, spring) cannot be less than eleven calendar weeks each, with allowances therein for registration, instruction, examinations, and reporting of grades to the registrars. A quarter normally includes ten full weeks of instruction (a minimum of 47 class days). A minimum of 500 minutes of instruction is required for each quarter credit hour awarded to the student.
The scheduling of summer quarter work may be flexible but with the stipulation that all summer quarter work be equivalent to that done in other quarters, with respect to instructional time.
Beginning and Ending Dates The earliest beginning and latest ending dates are approved by the Chancellor and must be followed by al l
institutions.

DEVELOPMENTAL STUDIES PROGRAM
The Board of Regents adopted a Systemwide policy providing for a Developmental Studies program beginning in Fall 1974 as a means of bringing the reading, English, and mathematical skills of marginally prepared st ud ents up to standard. Current Board policy mandates the following minimum standards for admission to Developmental Studies:
all entering freshman who meet the minimal level requirements for admission but score below 330 on the Verbal Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) and/or below 330 on the Mathematics SAT. Such students are required to ta ke the Reading and English and/or Mathematics portions of the Basic Skills Exami nation, an achievement test developed by the University System. Students who fail to make a satisfactory score on the test(s) are required to enroll in Developmental Studies course(s) related to their individual ~eficiencies. Students who do not complete the exit requirements for the required Developmental Studies area(s) after four attempts are excluded from the Developmental Studies program and are not eligible for re-entry for one academic year from dismissal. Students are not allowed more than four quarters in any one area. Students may accumulate up to 30 hours of degree credit while classified as a Developmental Studies student but may not take degree credit courses which require the content or sk il ls of the Developmental Studies course(s) which has not been successfully completed. In both admissions and exit requirements, institutions may develop stricter standards. No degree credit may be earned in Developmental Studies courses, but institutional credit is awarded.
FALL EI'ROLLMENT
CAUTION ABOUT DATA : Because admissions standards and Developmental Studies program exit requirements vary among institutions, extreme care must be exercised in ma king comparisons between institut ions. For instance, some institutions, particularly those with strong mathematics/science components, may establish higher admissions standards so that large numbers of students are required to enter Developmental Studies Math to strengthen their
skills . Other institutions with a mission to educate marginally prepared students operate with lower admi ssions standards, and these institutions may have a smaller Developmental Studies enroll men t. For these reasons, Development Studies enrollment may not be an accurate indicator of student quality.
The data below include all students who were required to take one or more Developmental Studies course(s). Many of these students were deficient in one or two of the three areas and thus were also ta king degree credit work
simultaneously. 1976 1977 1978 1g79 1980 1981 1982 1983 1984 1985
