A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

Augusta State University is first and foremost a place of learning, where students learn from and with outstanding professors.
It is also a place where students are individuals, not numbers.

you-as students-to use it for these purposes. I also encourage you to look at the listing of our faculty. Note their names,
their fields of study, and the dozens of superb universities from which they earned advanced degrees. They are the key to the
success of our students.

INTRODUCTION TO AUGUSTA STATE UNIVERSITY
A Brief History of Augusta State University

The principles of equality and opportunity that animated the American Revolution are at the root of Augusta State University's
historic mission. In 1783 the state of Georgia was newly free of British rule and undertook a broad effort to extend educational
opportunity throughout the state. One of the first steps was to charter the Academy of Richmond County. The Academy offered
secondary diplomas and post-secondary instruction which prepared students for their junior year at major American universities.
In 1925, post-secondary instruction was assigned to the newly formed Junior College of Augusta, the first public junior college
in the state of Georgia. When the site of the Augusta Arsenal, formerly the estate of Freeman Walker, was given to educational
purposes, the Junior College moved to its present location. From the century old oaks and magnolias of the former estate to
the thick masonry of the old Augusta Arsenal, the campus remains rich in reminders of bygone eras and its military origins.

The institution changed its name to Augusta College in 1958 when it became a part of the University System of Georgia.
Augusta College continued to grow in size and programs: the first four year degrees were awarded in 1967 and graduate
degrees in 1973. Now, more than 50 associate, bachelor, masters, and specialist degree programs are offered. On June 12.
1996, the college became Augusta State University.

As a member of the University System of Georgia, Augusta State University is the primary public institution of higher learning in
the state's second largest city. While it shares the technological and innovative resources of the University System, it maintains
the historical roots that make the learning experience as unique as the campus itself. The university is well known for its dedica-
tion to expanding educational opportunities for people of all ages and backgrounds, with a special emphasis on service to
Georgians in the Central Savannah River Area. We express this dedication in the first sentence of our mission statement, the
central point of reference for all our academic and other programs (The full text of the ASU Mission Statement begins on p.
2):

As a unit of the University System of Georgia, Augusta State University is committed to excellence in teaching,
advancement of knowledge, and enrichment of the community in a climate that fosters humane values and a lifelong
love of learning.

Accreditations

Augusta State University is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools
(SACS) (1866 Southern Lane, Decatur, Georgia 30033-4097: Telephone number 404-679-4500. extension 553) to award
associate's, bachelor's, master's and specialist's degrees. All courses offered at Augusta State University, other than those
identified as developmental/remedial, are acceptable as either requirements or electives applicable in at least one of the degree
programs at Augusta State University as authorized by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia. The James
M. Hull College of Business is fully accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB). All
teacher education degree programs for elementary, middle, secondary, and P-12 teachers, special education, administrators.
counselors, and supervisors, are approved by the Georgia Professional Standards Commission (PSC) and accredited by
the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE). In addition, the counselor education program is fully
accredited by the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP), a corporate affiliate of
the American Counseling Association (ACA). The nursing program is accredited by the National League of Nursing Accrediting
Commission and approved by the Georgia Board of Nursing. The music programs are accredited by the National Association of
Schools of Music (NASM). The art programs are accredited by the National Association of Schools of Art and Design (NASAD).
The graduate program in psychology is accredited by the Masters in Psychology Accreditation Council (MPAC).

The University System of Georgia

The University System of Georgia includes all state-operated institutions of higher education in Georgia: four research
universities, two regional universities, 13 state universities, four state colleges, and 12 two-year colleges. These 35 public
institutions are located throughout the state. The University System's mailing address is 270 Washington Street, S.W. Atlanta,
Georgia 30334. An 18-member constitutional Board of Regents governs the University System, which has been in operation
since 1932. Appointments of Board members are made by the Governor, subject to confirmation by the State Senate. The
regular term of Board members is seven years. The Chairperson, the Vice Chairperson, and other officers of the Board are
elected by the members of the Board. The Chancellor, who is not a member of the Board, is the chief executive officer of the
Board and the chief administrative officer of the University System.

The policies of the Board of Regents provide a high degree of autonomy for each institution. The executive head of each
institution is the President, whose election is recommended by the Chancellor and approved by the Board. State appropriations
for the University System are requested by, made to, and allocated by the Board of Regents. The overall programs and services
of the University System are offered through three major components: Instruction. Public Service/Continuing Education, and
Research.

Augusta State University Catalog

Instruction consists of programs of study leading to certificates and to degrees, ranging from the associate (two-year) level
to the doctoral level. Requirements for admission of students to instructional programs at each institution are determined,
pursuant to policies of the Board of Regents, by the institution. The Board establishes minimum academic standards and
leaves to each institution the prerogative to establish higher standards. Applications for admission should be addressed in all
cases to the institutions.

Public Service/Continuing Education consists of non-degree activities, primarily, and special types of college-degree-credit
courses. The non-degree activities are of several types, including short courses, seminars, conferences, lectures, and consultative
and advisory services in a broad range of interests. Typical college-degree-credit public service/continuing education courses
are those offered through extension center programs.

Research encompasses investigations conducted primarily for discovery and application of knowledge. These investigations
cover matters related to the educational objectives of the institutions and to general societal needs. Most of the research is
conducted through the universities; however, some of it is conducted through the state colleges.

Augusta State University Mission Statement

As a unit of the University System of Georgia, Augusta State University is committed to excellence in teaching
advancement of knowledge, and enrichment of the community in a climate that fosters humane values and a lifelong
love of learning.

This mission is based upon the value of a liberal arts education for students who are diverse in ethnicity, background, age, and
preparation. The mission obligates the university to be open to the voices of all its members, to be responsive to the needs of
its community, and to measure its success by the success of its students.

To accomplish its mission, the university offers undergraduate programs in arts, sciences, and professional fields of study, as
well as graduate programs below the doctoral level. It fosters the intellectual growth of students through learning assistance in
a university college, honors courses, and student research and cultivates faculty members who are excellent in teaching, active
in scholarship, and generous in service.

University Vision

PREPARATION OF APPLICATION MATERIALS

To seek admission to the university, a student must file an official application for admission with the Office of Admissions.
Students who need an application should write or visit the Admissions Office in The Benet House, 2500 Walton Way, Augusta,
Georgia 30904-2200, or phone us at 706-737-1632 or (800) 341-4373. Students can also download an application from our
web site at www.aug.edu/admissions or apply electronically at www.gacollege411.org. Applications and materials are free.

The application and all supporting documents should be received by the Admissions Office no later than 30 days prior to the
beginning of the semester in which a student plans to enroll. Applications and documents received after this deadline will
be processed; however, no guarantee can be made for admission for that semester. Applications and documents received
during the five working days preceeding the first day of class will not be processed for that semester. A S30.00 non-refundable
application fee must accompany the application. A high school candidate may submit an application for admission after the
junior year is completed.

Because additional time is required for processing, international student applicants should apply at least 90 days prior to the
beginning of the desired semester.

Students who do not register in the semester for which they are admitted and wish to attend a later semester should inform
the Office of Admissions at least 30 days prior to the desired semester of entrance. If one year has expired since the initial
application and a student has not yet attended, the student must re-apply and re-submit all supporting documents.

Required Documents: Undergraduates

It is the responsibility of the applicant to request that official documents required for admission be sent directly from the previous
institutions to the Office of Admissions. Documents that have been faxed or that have been in the hands of the applicant, such
as student copy transcripts or letters, grade reports, diplomas, or graduation lists, are not official. The documents must be
issued and mailed directly by the registrar of the previous institution(s) in a sealed envelope. These documents become a part
of the applicant's permanent record and will not be returned. Candidates are considered when all required documents have
been received. Notification of acceptance is by mail. The Office of Admissions requires the following:

Official Application Form: A candidate seeking admission must file an official application for admission prior to the
specified deadline. An application may be obtained from the Office of Admissions and local high schools. Care should be
taken to answer all questions on the application. An incomplete application will cause delay and may be returned to the
candidate.

Application Fee : ($30, Non-refundable): This processing fee is required from all applicants who have not previously
enrolled at ASU. The application fee is waived for students who provide an ACT or SAT I Fee Waiver.

Official Transcript(s) of Courses Completed: A freshman candidate should ask his or her guidance department to send
an official copy of the secondary school record. A transfer candidate should ask the registrar from each accredited college
attended to send an official transcript of grades (a separate transcript from each college). A holder of a GED certificate
must request that an official score report be sent to the Augusta State University Admissions Office. Documents must be
received by the Office of Admissions before the acceptance is final.

Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) or the American College Testing Program (ACT) Scores: A freshman candidate
is required to submit SAT scores of the College Board or the ACT score of the American College Testing Program. A
holder of the GED certificate is also required to submit SAT or ACT scores. A transfer candidate who has earned fewer
than 30 semester hours (45 quarter hours) of transferable credit, including English Composition I and College Algebra or
Mathematical Modeling, must also submit SAT or ACT results. The College Board code number assigned to Augusta State
University is 5336. For information concerning test dates and centers, students should consult their high school or college
guidance office.

PLEASE NOTE: ASU uses the re-centered scale of the SAT to determine whether students meet the minimum admissions
requirements. All original SAT scores received will be converted to the re-centered scale.

Augusta State University Catalog

Immunization: All new students, born 1957 or later, enrolling in schools within the University System of Georgia, are
required to provide proof of immunization for mumps, measles, rubella, and tetanus-diphtheria or provide a valid reason
for exemption. New students born prior to 1957 must show proof of immunization for tetanus-diphtheria or provide a valid
reason for exemption. New students born in the United States in 1966 or later and all international students regardless of

including dates of all required immunizations and the signature and address of a health care provider, must be submitted
to the admissions office prior to registration for classes. Certificate of Immunization forms are available in the Office of
Admissions. [Failure to meet this requirement will prohibit registration for classes.]

Augusta State University Catalog

ADMISSIONS REQUIREMENTS

Admissions requirements depend on the degree program you wish to enter. For freshman admissions, further information is
available from the Office of Admissions. (See p. 3 for hours and phone numbers.)

Freshman Admissions Requirements

Normal Freshmen: Every applicant for freshman admission must be a high school graduate from a high school accredited
by a regional accrediting association (such as the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools) or the Georgia Accrediting
Commission, the Georgia Private School Accrediting Commission, or from a public school regulated by a school system and the
State Department of Education. High school students who receive a "Certificate of Attendance" do not satisfy the graduation
requirements. In addition, to gain regular admission to ASU, the applicant must have completed the entire College Preparatory
Curriculum (CPC) in high school. The required CPC is listed below (16 units):

English: 4 units required

Mathematics: algebra, 2 units required; geometry, 1 unit required;

1 additional unit of higher mathematics beyond Algebra II required.
Science: 3 units required.
Social Science: 3 units required.
Foreign Language: The same foreign language, 2 units required.

In the determination of eligibility for freshmen admissions, the most important consideration is the Freshman Index. The
Freshman Index is determined by a formula which uses two variables: the high school average computed on academic courses,
and the SAT (or ACT) scores. The following formula is used to compute the SAT Freshman Index:

Freshman Index = SAT Verbal + SAT Math +
(High School Academic GPA x 500)

For students submitting ACT scores, the following formula is used to compute the ACT Freshman Index:

Freshman Index = (GPA x 500) + (ACT Composite x 42) + 88

Regular Admission: For regular freshman admission, specific requirements are as follows:
Freshman Index > 1 940

Tesf Scores*: SAT Verbal score of 430+ and a SAT Math score of 400+

or
ACT English and Mathematics score of >17
College Preparatory Curriculum (CPC): 16 required units must have been completed in high school.

*Students with verbal SAT scores less than 500 or ACT English less than 21 will take the English and Reading
portions of the COMPASS Examination for placement. All students bound by freshmen admissions requirements
must take the COMPASS Examination for placement in math.

Limited Admission: Freshman applicants who show potential but fail to satisfy any one of the requirements above may
be eligible for limited admission if they meet the following criteria listed below:
Freshman Index > 1 790

Test Scores*: SAT Verbal score of 430+ and a SAT Math score of 400+

or
ACT English and Mathematics score of >17
College Preparatory Curriculum (CPC):16 required units must have been completed in high school.

Admission to University College: University College is a two-year unit of Augusta State University designed to assist
Georgia resident students who live in Burke, Columbia, Glascock, Jefferson, Jenkins. Lincoln, McDuffie. Richmond.
Taliaferro, Warren or Wilkes counties but do not meet the admissions requirements for the university. Applicants who do
not meet regular admissions standards will be reviewed for consideration for admission to University College.

Home Schooled Freshmen: University System of Georgia policy dictates that in addition to SAT I scores and Freshman
Index, students must present sixteen specific college preparatory curriculum units or CPCs to be accepted to a state university
and a minimum of thirteen units to be accepted to a two-year program for students graduating from high school 2001 and
beyond. (See prevailing regular freshman admission standards for specific details, above.) These units must be completed
in high schools that have been accredited by a regional accreditation association (such as SACS) or the Georgia Accrediting
Commission, the Georgia Private School Accrediting Commission, or from a public high school regulated by a school system
and the State Department of Education.

Augusta State University Catalog

For students who have completed their CPCs in a home schooled program or secondary school that is not accredited by
one of the agencies mentioned above, five options are available to validate CPC units. Students can select the option per
subject area that is most suitable for them. For instance, a student who has earned 500 on the SAT I math and verbal tests
can validate CPCs in English and mathematics in this manner, and provide the items in option one or option two to validate
CPCs in other areas. Files of students who select options two or five to validate CPC subjects will be reviewed by a university
committee consisting of the Associate Vice President for Academic Affairs, Director of Admissions, and the Associate Director
of Admissions.

Options:

1 ) Submit a high school transcript and subject test scores from the Stanford Achievement, California Achievement Test or Iowa
Achievement Test of Basic Skills for each CPC subject area. Scores greater than or equal to the 50 lh percentiles of national
test takers will validate acceptable proficiency in CPC subject areas.

2) Submit a high school transcript and a syllabus for each college preparatory course completed. In addition, submit chapter,
unit or final, cumulative subject tests taken. Provide research papers and/or projects if grades for courses are based on these
items rather than examinations.

3) A score greater than or equal to 500 on SAT I math or 21 on ACT math will validate CPCs in mathematics. English CPCs can
be validated with a score greater than or equal to 500 on the SAT I verbal or 21 on the ACT English. In addition, students can
validate subject area CPCs by presenting other standardized tests such as CLEP or SAT II. For SAT II score requirements as
put forth by the USG Board of Regents, please see below.

4) If a student wishes to submit other evidence to validate CPCs (tests not specifically mentioned above, certifications, etc.),
committee members can use their discretion to validate CPC units.

any Learning Support requirements indicated. Students who fail to meet the Life Enrichment admissions criteria may be
required to submit SAT or ACT scores.

If life enrichment students can provide official SAT verbal > 500 and SAT math > 500 from a test administration within the past
7 years (or equivalent ACT scores), the COMPASS test can be waived.

Joint Enrollment Admission Requirements for High School Students: A qualified high school student may enroll for
college courses while completing his or her enrollment in high school as a junior or senior. This type of enrollment is primarily
designed to provide the opportunity to take courses not available in the high school curriculum. To be eligible for admission

respective courses.

(3) a Joint Enrollment Clearance form signed by parent/guardian and school official.

(4) a personal interview with a university admissions officer.

If the SAT verbal score is 530 and the math score is 530, a student accepted into this program will be permitted to enroll in any
course for which he or she is prepared.

Transfer Student Admissions Requirements

An applicant who has previously attended a regionally accredited institution of higher education and who is not classified as a
Life Enrichment student is considered a transfer student. Transfer students are divided into two categories as listed below for
regular admission:

(1) Fewer than 30 transferable semester hours: Meet prevailing freshman admissions requirements.

(2) 30 transferable semester hours: College Composition I and either College Algebra or Mathematical Modeling. These
students must have at least a 2.0 or greater for non-probationary entrance. All others will be reviewed for possible
entrance into Augusta State University on probation, or into University College. Students with 30 or more transferable
semester hours, but lacking College Composition I and/or College Algebra or Mathematical Modeling will take the
appropriate parts of the COMPASS Examination.

All transfer students entering ASU with <2.0 overall transfer GPA may be reviewed for probationary entrance and are subject to
possible additional admission requirements. Students admitted on probation must achieve a minimum 2.0 GPA in their first term
at Augusta State University to revoke the probationary status. Those who fail to achieve a 2.0 will be placed on suspension.
The transfer applicant whose only attendance has been at a regionally accredited technical college in a "Non-College Transfer
Program" is considered a freshman applicant and must satisfy freshman admission requirements.

Evaluation of Transfer Credit: An evaluation of accepted transferable credits is made by the Office of the Registrar. A
complete transfer evaluation report will be mailed to the student once he or she is accepted by the university and all official
transcripts have been received from each college previously attended. The basic policy regarding the acceptance of courses
by transfer is to allow credit for courses completed with satisfactory grades in other regionally accredited colleges, provided the
courses correspond in content to courses offered at Augusta State University. Additional validation will be required for courses

Augusta State University Catalog

taken at another institution that were previously completed with a penalty grade at Augusta State University. In addition,
credit earned at accredited technical colleges may not transfer unless the credit was earned in a designated college transfer
program.

Advanced Placement Credit and Credit by Examination

Advanced Placement: A qualified student who has taken college-level work in secondary schools may receive academic credit.
Examinations used to determine advanced placement are the Advanced Placement Test of the College Entrance Examination
Board and The Achievement Tests in English Composition and intermediate Mathematics (Level 1). A final determination of
credit is made after results have been evaluated by the university.

Credit by Examination: College credits are traditionally earned through attendance in scheduled classes. However, some
courses allow credit by examination. A student currently enrolled who presents satisfactory evidence that he or she is qualified
in a particular subject may receive credit for a course by an examination approved by the appropriate instructional department,
or through the College Level Examination Program (CLEP). Satisfactory evidence may be, but is not limited to, work experience,
non-credit courses, course work taken at non-accredited institutions, or military courses. There is a $5 per credit hour fee for
credit by departmental examination.

A student may take challenge examinations before enrolling, but will receive credit for courses challenged only after successfully
completing six semester hours at Augusta State University. Courses in which a student is or has been enrolled may not be
challenged, and courses which require demonstrations and application of skills (practical, laboratory sciences, and courses
requiring field work or performance, for example) may be challenged only with the permission of the chairperson of the
department offering the course.

Credit by examination is listed as such on the transcript along with the course number, title, and hours of credit; however, no
grade is assigned and the credit is not included in computing the Grade Point Average. Credit by examination is limited to 10
semester hours in a discipline and 30 semester hours in the university.

A current list of tests available for credit by examination for courses offered at Augusta State University may be obtained from
the Testing and Disability Services Office, 706-737-1469.

Transient Student Admissions Requirements

A transient student is a degree candidate at another institution who is granted the privilege of temporary enrollment at Augusta
State University. To apply for admission as a transient student applicants must:

(1) File a completed application form.

(2) Submit a letter of permission confirming good standing from the registrar of the college in which enrolled or matriculated.
In addition, applicants must submit an official transcript from their home institution. Applicants can be admitted to Augusta
State University as transient students only if they are currently eligible for re-admission to their home institution.

Transient students will be required to adhere to the same academic standards that govern regularly enrolled students. They
may renew their status for additional enrollment periods for a maximum of two semesters per calendar year. For an exception
of a third semester, they must submit written approval from their home institution and complete a new application for the
Augusta State University Admissions Office at least 30 days prior to the scheduled registration for the third enrollment period.

If financial aid is needed, transient students must approach the home institution's Financial Aid Office to request a consortium
agreement for financial aid purposes.

Additional Degree Admissions Requirements

An Additional Degree applicant is classified as a student who has successfully completed a baccalaureate degree at a regionally
accredited institution and wishes to pursue a second undergraduate degree at Augusta State University. To apply as am
Additional Degree student, applicants must:

(1) File a completed application form.

(2) Submit official transcripts from all colleges attended.

(3) Complete an interview with an admissions officer.
Once the applicant has been accepted, a transfer evaluation of credit will be completed by the Office of the Registrar for those
courses that are pertinent to the desired program.

Augusta State University Catalog

Non-degree Admissions Requirements

A non-degree applicant is classified as a student interested in enrolling at Augusta State University for credit without pursuing
a college degree. The non-degree student may be a transient student (see above), post-baccalaureate, postgraduate, or
audit student. A candidate for this type of limited enrollment seeks instruction in particular courses for personal or professional
purposes, or for completion of degree requirements at another institution.

Applicants holding a baccalaureate degree or graduate degree from a regionally accredited college and wishing to enroll in
undergraduate courses as a non-degree student must request that an official transcript be sent to the admissions office from
the college or university which awarded the highest degree.

Each applicant for admission as a special student must:

(1) File a completed application form.

(2) Provide evidence of satisfactory past academic work at the secondary or post-secondary level.

(3) Satisfy all other admission requirements as determined by the Office of Admissions.

Senior Citizens Admission Requirements

Georgia residents 62 years of age or older are eligible to enroll in units of the University System free of charge on a space
available basis. Senior citizens from Aiken and Edgefield Counties qualify for the contiguous county tuition waiver and pay
in-state tuition and fees (see Waivers, p. 16). Senior citizens who pay tuition are not required to register on a space available
basis.

Former Student Readmission Requirements

Students who have attended any other college or university since their last enrollment at Augusta State University, regardless
of how long they have been away from ASU, must re-apply through the Office of Admissions. In addition, they must provide the
Office of Admissions with official transcripts of all college work attempted since their last enrollment in Augusta State University.
Failure to provide required transcripts may result in loss of credit or dismissal from Augusta State University.
Students who have not enrolled in Augusta State University or attended any other college or university for two academic years,
must apply for readmission through the Office of the Registrar at least 30 days before the desired semester of re-entry. In order
to determine degree requirements, returning students should see the entry for Graduation Requirements: Undergraduate
in this catalog.

Augusta State University-Paine College Co-enrollment

Augusta State University and Paine College offer co-enrollment for students who want courses that are not offered at the
student's home institution during a given semester or for students who have schedule conflicts that may be resolved by co-
enrollment.

Students who are enrolled at one institution for the equivalent of at least six semester hours of course work, may enroll for three
or more semester hours of course work at the other institution. Courses for co-enrolled students from Paine College are offered
on a space available basis, after the registration period for Augusta State University students.

Students should submit applications for co-enrollment, official transcripts, and immunization forms to the other institution at
least two weeks prior to the scheduled registration date. Applications are available from the Registrar's Office at Augusta State
University. Students will pay all fees required of a full-time student at their home institution. Students wishing to register for an
overload must satisfy the overload requirements of their home institution.

International Students: Special Requirements

Students who are not U.S. citizens or permanent residents should ask the Office of Admissions to send special information,
including an international application, for international students. In addition to satisfying the regular requirements for
admission, these students must provide documented evidence of adequate financial support to meet educational and personal
expenses.

If academically eligible, students will also be required to remit a non-refundable tuition deposit of S2.000.00 (U.S.) by bank
check, payable to Augusta State University, before being issued an acceptance letter and a Certificate of Eligibility. (Form I-20).
The following guidelines apply to the tuition deposit:

Augusta State University Catalog

Students who are receiving institutional support (athletic scholarships, graduate assistantships, etc.), students participating
in formal exchange programs, or students sponsored by recognized international education organizations such as Rotary
Club, are exempt from this policy.

A student who is denied a student visa and who provides evidence to that effect will receive a refund of the tuition
deposit.

Students who receive a student visa and enter the United States, but do not matriculate for the semester to which they
were admitted, forfeit their deposit.

When ASU receives the student's tuition deposit and the student is officially accepted, ASU will forward official notification that
the student's deposit is on file, along with his or her 1-20 and letter of acceptance. Evidence of a tuition deposit may assist the
student in acquiring a student visa.

The prescribed method for demonstrating English proficiency is the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). The
TOEFL is required for freshman, non-native English speaking applicants who completed secondary school outside the U.S.
Secondary School System or who completed high school within the U.S. Secondary School System. The TOEFL is also
required of transfer applicants who lack credit for College Composition I (ENGL 1101). A minimum total score of 173 on
the computer-based TOEFL or 45 on the reading, listening and writing sections of the Internet-based TOEFL is required for
admissions consideration. In addition to the TOEFL, international students must provide official SAT I scores. The test scores
should be forwarded directly from the testing agencies to the Office of Admissions.

Students who state on their application for admission that their native language is other than English are required to take the
TOEFL as described above. Placement in the first semester English classes is based on the reading, listening and writing
sections of the Internet-based TOEFL as follows:

Computer-based TOEFL score of 250 or higher or Internet-based TOEFL of 75 or higher: The student is admitted and
placed in English 1101Z, a special section of Freshman English for non-native speakers.

Computer-based TOEFL score of 213 to 247 or Internet-based TOEFL of 59/60 to 74: The student is admitted and placed
in English 0091 and Reading 0091.

Computer-based TOEFL score of 173 to 210 or Internet-based TOEFL of 45 to 58: The student is admitted and placed in
English 0090 and Reading 0090.

International students, or students for whom English is a second language, who complete the ESL program at Augusta State
University or who declare English as their second language and who have already completed English 1101 should contact the
Department of English and Foreign Languages for the policy concerning the Regents' Test process.

All international, post-secondary transcripts must be forwarded to a credential evaluation agency for a "course by course"
evaluation. Official evaluations (sent directly to Augusta State University) from one of these agencies are acceptable: World
Education Services at www.wes.org; Educational Credential Evaluators at www.ece.org: and Josef Silny & Associates at www.
jsilny.com. The official credential evaluation is required before an application for admissions can be processed.

For eligibility for resident tuition fees, see the paragraph on International Students in the Waivers section (p. 16).

Because additional processing time is required for international students, they should submit the application and all supporting
documents at least 90 days prior to the desired semester of entrance. The Certificate of Eligibility (Form I-20) cannot be
forwarded to the student until an offer of acceptance has been extended and the student's tuition deposit has been received
by Augusta State University.

International Student Services is dedicated to serving the special needs of international students and helping to create a
supportive environment for living and studying. The Office of International Student Services provides an orientation program
each semester for all new international students. The office also provides immigration advising, tax assistance and programs
specifically designed for international students. Visit the International Student Services website at http://www.aug.edu/student_
services division/instit waiver.htm or contact the Assistant Dean of Students at 706-737-1411.

ADMISSIONS DECISIONS AT AUGUSTA STATE UNIVERSITY

Graduate and undergraduate applications to Augusta State University are considered on an individual basis After all required
data have been received, the student will be notified by letter of the action taken. Although the University System of Georgia
sets certain minimum standards for admission, the individual institutions retain the right to impose additional requirements.
Accordingly, the university reserves the right to refuse admission to any applicant who. in its judgment, is not qualified to
pursue work at Augusta State University. Such a decision may be based on a variety of factors: social maturity, character, or
intellectual potential as indicated by previous academic work and appropriate examinations. Appeals of admission denials for
reasons other than an applicant's academic credentials shall be referred by the President to a committee composed of the
chairs of the Faculty Policies and Academic Policies Committees and the chair of the Student Judicial Cabinet.

Similarly, the university reserves the right to determine the level of admission. Clearly, some students exhibit superior academic
achievement and will enter at an advanced level and receive some college credit. Other students will enter Learning Support
courses that attempt to provide the academic experiences and counseling designed to aid the student in overcoming his or her

academic deficiencies.

Undergraduate Admissions Decision Notification

Undergraduate applicants may check the status of an application online at http://www.aug.edu/admissions/applyonline.htm
Undergraduate applicants will be notified by letter as to the conditions of acceptance. Included in the same mailing will
be orientation and registration information and the assigned department for advising. Students accepted on an unofficial or
incomplete transcript must submit a final and official transcript before the admission is final. If this information has not been
received by the day of registration, students may register on a conditional basis for one semester only. Registration for the
succeeding semester will not be permitted unless the required document has been received. Under certain conditions, the
university may release admissions decisions to high schools and colleges.

PREPARING FOR REGISTRATION

www.aug.edu/infocentral

After admission, students are sent an information packet which includes document requests, orientation and registration
details, housing, financial aid and other program information. Students should read these materials carefully and supply any
information to the requesting office prior to registration.

An Orientation Program for new students is offered at the beginning of each semester that includes the opportunity to register
with the aid of an academic advisor For more information about new student orientation, contact the Orientation Coordinator
in the Jaguar Student Activities Center or call 706-729-2347. New graduate students should consult with their department
advisors for assistance. New Student Convocation and Week of Welcome activities are all included in the packet provided by

REFUNDS

Official Full Withdrawal from the University: The refund amount for students withdrawing from the University shall be based
on a pro rata percentage determined by dividing the number of calendar days that the student completed in the semester by
the total calendar days in the semester. The total of calendar days in a semester is calculated from the beginning to the end I
of classes and includes weekends, but excludes scheduled breaks of five or more days, including weekends. The unearned
portion will be refunded up to the point in time that the number of calendar days completed is equal to 60 percent of the number
of calendar days in the semester.

Students who withdraw from the University when the calculated percentage of completion is greater than 60 percent are not
entitled to a refund of any portion of institutional charges.

Example: Fall semester contains 104 calendar days, calculated as described above. The student withdraws from all classes
on the 50th calendar day of the semester.

50 divided by 104 = 48% (This is referred to as the "earned portion.")

100% minus 46 = 52% (This is referred to as the "unearned portion.")

Refundable institutional charges multiplied by 52% = amount of refund.

Official withdrawals must be made through the Registrar's Office. Refunds are based on the number of credit hours a student
is enrolled in at the end of the schedule adjustment period. Tuition, student activity, student center payback, student teaching,
technology and transportation fees are refundable. Parking fees are non-refundable.

Special note for HOPE Scholarship recipients: Complete withdrawal from the university under certain circumstances
may result in a requirement that you return a portion of your HOPE Scholarship award to the Georgia Student Finance
Commission. Contact the Financial Aid Office or the Business Office for more information.

Medical Withdrawals

Student Medical Withdrawals: It is the responsibility of the student to withdraw from courses when a medical situation
arises. The student must contact each instructor in case of a medical reason which could include such situations as an illness,
accident, or death of a family member. Official medical documentation must be submitted in writing to the Registrar and a
request must be made to be withdrawn for a medical reason.

Student Administrative Medical Withdrawals: A student may be administratively withdrawn from the university when, in the
judgment of the Vice President for Student Services, and after consultation with the student's parents and personal physician,
if any, it is determined that the student suffers from a physical, mental, emotional or psychological health condition which: (a)
poses a significant danger or threat of physical harm to the student or to the person or property of others or (b) causes the
student to interfere with the rights of other members of the university community or with the exercise of any proper activities
or functions of the university or its personnel or (c) causes the student to be unable to meet institutional requirements for
admission and continued enrollment, as defined in the student conduct code and other publications of the university. Except in
emergency situations, a student shall, upon request, be accorded an appropriate hearing prior to final decision concerning his
or her continued enrollment at the university.

Unofficial Withdrawal from the University: No refund will be made to a student who leaves the university without filing official
withdrawal forms with the Registrar's Office. The student may also be given an F or WF for any course in which he or she is
still enrolled. Also, under new regulations issued by the U.S. Department of Education, federal financial aid recipients who do

14

Augusta State University Catalog

not complete any class and who do not follow the withdrawal process may be required to pay an amount equal to half of the
federal financial aid applied to charges for tuition and fees.

Reduction in Course Load Initiated by the University: If the university drops a course from the semester's schedule, each
student affected will be refunded the difference between total fees paid and charges on the course work remaining.
Reduction in Course Load Initiated by the Student: Students who reduce their course load before the end of the official
add/drop period resulting in a reduction of the matriculation fees will receive a 100 percent refund of the fees for the courses
reduced. No refund will be made for a reduction in credit hours after that time. Dropped classes will not appear on the permanent
records.

Effective Fall 2006, refunds are no longer disbursed from the Business Office. Students must visit www.augustastateonecard.
com and make a choice in order to receive any type of financial aid or other refunds from Augusta State University. There are
three choices: (1 ) You may choose to have your funds direct deposited into a new HigherOne account the same day they are
received. (2) You may choose to have your funds electronically transferred to your current financial institution which will take 2
to 3 days. This option does not require you to open a HigherOne account. Or (3) You may choose to receive a paper check in
the mail. This will take approximately 5 to 7 days. This option does not require you to open a HigherOne account. If you have
questions, please contact the Student Accounts Division of the Business Office.

REGENTS' REQUIREMENTS FOR GEORGIA RESIDENT STATUS

A person's legal residence is his or her dwelling place. It is the place where he or she is generally understood to reside with the
intent of remaining there indefinitely and returning there when absent. There must be a concurrence of actual residence and
of intent to remain to acquire a legal residence.

Students are responsible for registering under the correct residence classification, for notifying promptly the residence auditor
of incorrect residence classifications or changes of residence status, and will be liable for additional fees. For example,
residence status may change for students if their parents' states of legal residence change or if their visas change. Individuals
who are classified by Augusta State University as Out-of-State but who later claim to qualify as legal residents must file a
"Petition for Georgia Residence Classification" form with the residence auditor in the Office of the Registrar. Residence status
is not changed automatically, and the burden of proof rests with the student to demonstrate that he or she qualifies as a legal
resident under the regulations of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia. To insure timely completion of
required processing, a student/applicant requesting a change of residence classification for a specific semester should file the
"Petition for Georgia Residence Classification" and all supporting documentation not later than three weeks (15 working days)
prior to registration. Decisions prior to registration cannot be guaranteed when petitions and all supporting documentation are
received after the specified deadline.

Petitions for Georgia Residence Classification and all supporting documentation must be filed with the residence auditor
no later than 60 days after the beginning of a specific academic semester for which classification as a legal resident for fee
payment purposes is requested. Petitions received after that time will not be considered for that semester. If the petition is
approved, classification as a legal resident for fee payment purposes will not be retroactive to prior semesters.

A student/applicant wishing to appeal a denial decision resulting from his or Petition for Georgia Residence Classification may
request a review of that decision before the Vice President for Student Services, submitting such request in writing within 20
days of the decision. If the petition is denied and the student/applicant wishes to petition for a later semester, a new Petition
for Georgia Residence Classification must be submitted for that semester.

OBJECTIVE STANDARDS FOR ACQUIRING IN-STATE STATUS

For purposes of these regulations, a resident student is defined as a student domiciled in the state of Georgia. A non-resident
is defined as one whose domicile is elsewhere. A student shall not be considered domiciled in Georgia unless he or she
is in continuous physical residence in this state and intends to make Georgia his or her permanent home, not only while in
attendance at an institution of the University System of Georgia, but indefinitely thereafter as well, and has no domicile or intent
to be domiciled elsewhere.

Normally a person from another state who comes to an institution of the University System of Georgia does so for the primary
or sole purpose of attending the institution rather than to establish a domicile (residency) in Georgia. Thus, one who enrolls in
a system institution as a non-resident is presumed to remain a non-resident throughout his or her attendance at the institution
unless and until he or she demonstrates by clear and convincing evidence that his or her previous domicile has been abandoned
and that Georgia domicile has been established.

No person shall be eligible for classification as an in-state student unless he or she has been domiciled in Georgia and has
resided in Georgia continuously for not less than 12 months immediately preceding the date of registration. However, there is a
strong presumption that such person shall continue to be classified as a non-resident throughout the entire period of his or her
enrollment. Ordinarily, such periods (while enrolled in school) will not count as periods of domicile to meet the twelve-month
durational residency requirement.

Augusta State University Catalog 1 5

The following facts and circumstances, although not necessarily conclusive, have probative value to support a claim for in-state
status after twelve months continuous domicile in Georgia (durational residency requirement):

a. Continuous presence in Georgia during periods when not enrolled as a student.

b. Payment of ad valorem (property) taxes.

c. Payment of Georgia income taxes.

d. Reliance upon Georgia sources for financial support.

e. Domicile in Georgia of family, or other relatives, or persons legally responsible for the student.

f. Former domicile in the state and maintenance of significant connections therein while absent.

g. Ownership of a home or real property.

h. Admission to a licensed practicing profession in Georgia.

i. Long term military commitments in Georgia.

j. Commitments to further education in Georgia indicating an intent to stay here permanently.

k. Acceptance of an offer of permanent employment in Georgia.

I. Location of spouse's employment, if any.

m. Address of student listed on selective service (draft or reserves) registration.

Other factors indicating an intent to make Georgia the student's domicile may be considered by the system institution in classifying
a student. Normally, the following circumstances do not constitute evidence of domicile sufficient to effect classification as an
in-state student under Regents' policies:

a. Voting or registration for voting.

b. Employment in any position normally filled by a student.

c. The lease of living quarters.

d. A statement of intention to acquire a domicile in Georgia.

e. Automobile registration, address on driver's license, payment of automobile taxes.

f. Location of bank or saving accounts.

WAIVERS

Contiguous Counties: The border tuition policy set forth by the Board of Regents states that students from counties bordering
on a county in which a University System of Georgia institution is located shall pay resident tuition fees. This policy includes
students from Aiken and Edgefield Counties, South Carolina, who wish to attend Augusta State University. Students must fill
out a waiver form and have it signed by a magistrate.

Military Personnel: Active duty military personnel and their spouses and legal dependents stationed in Georgia may qualify
for waiver of non-resident tuition. Military personnel should contact the Education Center at their installation for information
about current financial and other assistance available to them as members of the armed forces. All military personnel planning
to use military tuition assistance programs to defray expenses associated with matriculation at Augusta State University should
be sure to coordinate with the Director of Admissions for guidance as to procedures.

International and Superior Out-of-State Students: These students may be selected by the Vice President for Student
Services for a waiver, provided, however, that the number of such waivers in effect at any time does not exceed two percent
of the equivalent full-time students enrolled at the institution in the fall semester immediately preceding the semester for which
the out of state tuition is to be waived.

Aliens shall be classified as non-resident students provided, however, that an alien who is living in this country under an
immigration document permitting indefinite or permanent residence shall have the same privilege of qualifying for in-state
tuition as a citizen of the United States. Contact the Assistant Dean of Students at 737-1411 or visit the website http://www.aug.
edu/student_services_division/instit_waiver.htm for more information and an application. (Also see Int Stud: Spec Req, p. 9.)

Teachers: Full-time teachers in the public schools of Georgia and their spouses and dependent children may enroll as
students in University System institutions on the payment of resident fees.

Employees: All full-time employees in an institution of the University System, their spouses, and dependent children may
register for courses on the payment of resident fees, even though the employee has not been in residence in Georgia for a
period of twelve months.

Families Moving to Georgia: A dependent student who, as of the first day of term of enrollment, can provide documentation
supporting that his or her supporting parent or court-appointed guardian has accepted full-time, self-sustaining employment
and established domicile in the State of Georgia for reasons other than gaining the benefit of favorable tuition rates, may qualify
immediately for an out of state tuition differential waiver which will expire 12 months from the date the waiver is granted. At that
time, an affected student must petition for residency status according to established procedures.

1. Be a citizen of the United States or be in the United States for other than a temporary purpose, or otherwise be

classified as an eligible non-citizen.

2. Demonstrate financial need (where applicable).

3. Make satisfactory academic progress as defined by the ASU Financial Aid Office.

The annual financial aid application deadlines for each term are as follows: Fall Semester -April 1 ; Spring Semester -October
1 ; and Summer Semester -March 1 . You are expected to submit all required applications and support documents on or before
the published financial aid application deadline for the chosen enrollment term. Failure to do so may result in incurring your own
educational expenses until your financial aid file is complete and aid can be processed.

All scholarships awarded by the Augusta State University Scholarship and Financial Assistance Committee require an
institutional scholarship application, available after January 1 for each upcoming academic year, in the Financial Aid Office or
in PDF format on our web site. The application deadline is March 1 for each upcoming academic year.

All financial aid programs fall into one of four categories: grants, loans, scholarships and employment opportunities. The Office
of Student Financial Aid provides educational funds from all four sources. For further information about available programs
and required forms, visit our website; or contact us via telephone; or visit the Office of Student Financial Aid, located on the
second floor of Payne Hall during normal business hours. Institutional forms are available in a PDF format on our website. We

affiliations and activities may provide keys to other sources of assistance. Publications in your local or school library or guidance
office will assist you in obtaining information on scholarship programs. Web sites are also available.

The primary responsibility for financing a college education belongs to you and your family. Students who need financial
assistance are expected to work for and/or borrow a reasonable portion of the funds needed to meet educational expenses.
Your family is expected to make a maximum effort to assist in satisfying the cost of education.

Augusta State University Catalog

ACADEMIC REGULATIONS and INFORMATION

This section explains regulations that affect students after admission. Regulations regarding admission may be found in the
Admissions Policies and Enrollment section of this catalog (p. 3).

When a student registers at Augusta State University, he or she accepts the official academic regulations. The student is
expected to follow the program outlined by his or her college and department and should do sufficient planning, in consultation
with his or her faculty advisor, to avoid scheduling difficulties which may impede normal academic progress. The student should
plan his or her program so as to meet the core curriculum, graduation, and major and minor requirements.

Academic Standing and Grade Point Averages

Undergraduates: There are two grade point average computations in use at Augusta State University. These computations
produce a student's Institutional GPA and Regents' GPA. The Regents' GPAis used to measure the quality of a student's entire
performance while at Augusta State University. The Regents' GPA appears on a student's transcript, is used for calculating
honors and awards, is used to measure the ability to take overloads, and is used as the basis for measuring continued eligibility
for scholarships. Graduate schools and employers are interested in a student's GPA so as to compare that student's collegiate
performance with the performance of others.

The Institutional GPA was first put into effect at Augusta State University in Spring Quarter 1989 and was modified in May of
1 994 and again in February of 1997. The current rules apply regardless of the student's enrollment date. A student's Institutional
GPA is used only to determine whether or not institutional requirements concerning probation, suspension, and graduation are
being met by the student. The performance measured by the Institutional GPA is of interest only within the institution.

Computations: The Regents' GPA is computed by dividing the total number of hours attempted that count in a GPA at Augusta
State University (that is, those hours for which a grade of A, B, C, D, F or WF has been earned) into the total number of quality
points (sometimes called grade points) earned on those hours (See Grading System, Undergraduate; p. 21). A GPA is
determined for each student at the end of each semester. It is similar to the Regents' GPA, but is based only on the hours
attempted that semester.

The Institutional GPA is determined by computing the number of hours attempted by summing together those hours associated
with the most recent attempts of courses taken at Augusta State University numbered from 1000 through 4999 in which a grade
of A, B, C, D, F, or WF has been earned. The Institutional GPA is computed by dividing the hours attempted into the number
of quality points earned on those hours. All grade point averages are truncated at two decimal places. They are not rounded
up. Hours accumulated at Augusta State University by a transfer of credit or an approved examination process are not used in
computing any grade point averages. They are, however, used in determining the credit level, which is discussed next.

Probation and Suspension: The credit level is the sum of all institutional hours attempted, plus all transfer credit hours
attempted, plus all credit hours earned with grades that do not count in the GPAs, such as S and K. The credit level is a
rough measure of the actual amount of time a person has attended college. It is not the same as the total of the hours
earned towards a degree. It is an important concept because it has an effect upon probation and suspension. Students who
earn an Institutional GPA (or Academic Renewal GPA, see below) of less than 2.00 will be placed on academic proba-
tion. Students on probation are restricted to a twelve-hour course load and may continue to attend Augusta State University
only if they meet the following minimum requirements which are based on credit level:

Requ

red Minimum Average

Credit Level

either

Term GPA or institutional 5PA

0- 16

1.00 0.50

17- 29

2.00 1.30

30- 59

2.00 1.60

60- 89

2.00 1.90

90 and above

2.00 2.00

Students who are on probation and fail to meet the requirements specified above will be suspended. The time of suspension
will be one semester for the first suspension, two semesters for the second suspension, and three semesters for all suspensions
thereafter. Any suspensions prior to academic renewal do count in the number of suspensions received by the student. Credit
earned at other institutions during periods of mandatory suspension from Augusta State University will not transfer back to
ASU.

After the mandatory period has passed, students suspended for academic deficiencies may be considered for reinstatement
by petitioning the dean of the appropriate college. The petition must be submitted in writing to the dean at least 30 days prior
to the desired semester of reinstatement. Appeals for reinstatement after the third and all subsequent suspensions must also

' Augusta State University Catalog

be approved by the Vice President for Academic Affairs. If a student has been out of school for more than two years, he or she
must also file a Former Student Application with the Office of the Registrar.

If circumstances warrant, the dean or vice president may require special testing and successful completion of all or a part of the
Learning Support program as a condition of reinstatement. See Learning Support, Rules for Students in (p. 24).

Having appealed and having been reinstated according to the above procedure, should the student again fail to meet the
probation requirements, the student again will be suspended. Normally a student will not be reinstated after the fourth
suspension.

Academic Renewal: The Academic Renewal policy allows Augusta State University undergraduate, degree-seeking students
who have experienced significant academic difficulty at Augusta State University to have one opportunity to make a fresh start
after an absence of five calendar years from all post-secondary institutions.

Restrictions : The student must apply for academic renewal at the time of re-enrollment or within three academic semesters of
re-enrollment or one calendar year (whichever comes first). A student can be granted academic renewal status only once.

Advantages : A revised Institutional Grade Point Average is begun when the student re-enrolls following the five-year period
of absence. The new Institutional GPA begins with zero hours attempted and zero quality points as if the student were a new
transfer student. The new Institutional GPA is used for the minimum grade point average graduation requirement and for
probation/suspension decisions. All academic credit earned with grades of A, B, C, and S in previously completed course work
is retained and will count towards the residency requirement, if taken at Augusta State University. Any prior completion of the
Regents' Test, Legislative, and College Preparatory Curriculum requirements will be retained.

Disadvantages : Any credit earned with a grade of D is not retained. All suspensions count towards the number of suspensions
received. Financial aid policies regarding Satisfactory Academic Progress are still in effect. The minimum grade point average
needed for admission to particular programs may or may not utilize the new Institutional GPA (see the requirements for the
desired program). Both the new Institutional GPA and the Regents' GPA will appear on the student's transcript with a statement
that Academic Renewal status was granted. If academic renewal status is approved, no transfer credit will be granted for
coursework completed during the absence.

Graduate Students: The determination of academic accomplishment is based solely upon a student's grade point average,
which is computed by dividing the number of hours attempted in which a grade of A, B, C, D, F or WF has been received into
the number of quality points earned on those hours. (The Institutional and Regents' GPAs are identical.) A GPA of 3.00 must
be maintained in all courses attempted in a graduate program. For more information, consult listings of specific programs in
the Graduate Programs section of this catalog.

Additional Baccalaureate Degree

A student holding a baccalaureate degree from a regionally accredited college or university who wishes to work for another
degree must complete the minimum residence requirements of the university (30 hours of course work in courses numbered
3000 or above with an average grade of C or better) with at least 30 hours of resident credit in excess of the requirement for
the original degree. In addition, he or she must complete the exact requirements of major courses, allied fields, mathematics.
and foreign languages.

Auditing a Course

A student who has been admitted to Augusta State University may be permitted to enroll in credit courses as an auditor on
a non-credit basis. However, a student may not change his or her status from credit to audit or vice versa during the course.
Credit may not be earned in courses taken as an auditor except by re-enrollment for credit in and completion of the course with
a satisfactory grade. An auditor is assumed to be seriously interested in courses that he or she audits. Therefore, a student
enrolled as an auditor is expected to attend class regularly and perform such other tasks as may be assigned by the instructor.
An auditor who does not attend regularly may be dropped from the class with a grade of W.

Class Attendance

The resources of Augusta State University are provided for the intellectual growth and development of the students who attend.
A schedule of courses is provided for the students and faculty to facilitate an orderly arrangement of the program of instruction.
The fact that classes are scheduled is evidence that attendance is important and students should, therefore, maintain regular
attendance if they are to attain maximum success in the pursuit of their studies.

It is recognized that the degree of class attendance may vary with the student, the professor, or the course. It is also recognized
that, on occasions, it may be necessary for the student to be absent from scheduled classes or laboratories for personal
reasons. On such occasions, all matters related to a student's absences, including the making up of work missed, are to be
arranged between the student and the professor. A student must not be absent from laboratory periods, announced quizzes

Augusta State University Catalog

and tests, or final examinations unless the reasons for the absences are acceptable to the concerned professors. A student
should also understand that he or she is responsible for the academic consequences of any absences.

At the beginning of each semester, all professors will provide a clear written statement to all their classes regarding their
policies in handling absences. Professors will also be responsible for counseling with their students regarding the academic
consequences of absences from their classes or laboratories. Students are obligated to adhere to the requirements of each
course and each course professor.

Professors will be flexible enough in their attendance and grading policies to allow students a reasonable number of absences
without penalty for extraordinary personal reasons or for officially representing the university. However, if the student has
been absent for more than the equivalent of 10 percent of class time, regardless of cause, then the professor may withdraw
the student from the class for excessive absences. A student withdrawn for excessive absence may appear before a board of
review appointed by the Academic Policies Committee for reinstatement. In the event a student is reinstated, he or she is fully
responsible for making up all work missed while the case was pending.

It is important to note that the instructor may or may not withdraw a student from class based upon attendance. In any case,
a student should not assume that the instructor has initiated the withdrawal form. A student not withdrawn from a course who
stops attending class (or who never attends class) is subject to receiving a grade of WF or F for the course.

Classification

For the purpose of class organization, an undergraduate is classified on the basis of number of hours of academic credit earned
at the time of registration as follows: Freshman, 0-29; Sophomore, 30-59; Junior 60-89; Senior, 90 or more.

Course Changes

In the case of course changes, the student must initiate an "Add/Drop" form, which can be obtained from his or her academic
advisor's office. Students are strongly advised to consult with their academic advisor before dropping and/or adding courses.
The last day a student may enroll in a class is given in the university calendar as the last day of Add/Drop.

Course Repeat Policy

Any student may repeat a course taken at Augusta State University. No student may receive additional hours of credit for a
repeated course in which the student has already earned credit, with the exception of such courses as WELL activity courses,
Cullum Lecture Series courses, "Selected Topics" courses, and other courses specifically designed for repetition. Such courses
are labelled in the "Course Descriptions" section of the catalog with a phrase such as "may be repeated for credit." However,
if a student fails a repeated course in which he or she had already earned credit, the student will lose any credit previously
earned.

If an undergraduate course (numbered 1000 through 4999) is repeated, only the last grade received is used in the calculation
of the Institutional Grade Point Average (IGPA). See Academic Standing and Grade Point Averages, p. 18.

Course Substitution

Each student is responsible for following the requirements of his or her selected program as specified in the catalog and
in accordance with the regulations of the catalog. Variations in course requirements are permitted only upon petition and
the written approval of the chairman of the department responsible for the required course and the appropriate dean. The
approved change to the program of study will be forwarded to the Office of the Registrar. Variations from course requirements
are approved only under exceptional circumstances and only in cases where courses of the same academic value and type
can be substituted.

Curriculum Changes

The academic programs of Augusta State University are offered through the James M. Hull College of Business, the College of
Education and the Katherine Reese Pamplin College of Arts and Sciences. These units, including the appropriate departments,
furnish the basic organization of the faculty and provide the framework for the generation and maintenance of quality education
in the variety of courses and programs listed in this bulletin. The Academic Policies Committee serves as the major source for
recommendations to the faculty on policies in these areas. The faculty reserves the right to make changes in curricula, and
in rules, at any time when in its judgment such changes are in the best interest of the student and Augusta State University.
Recommendations for such changes can originate with any one of a number of key faculty committees.

Deans' Lists

The Deans' Lists for the James M. Hull College of Business, the College of Education, and the Katherine Reese Pamplin
College of Arts and Sciences are compiled each semester for undergraduate students. To qualify for this academic honor, a

20 Augusta State University Catalog

student must (1 ) earn nine or more hours of undergraduate course work numbered 1000 or above, exclusive of K grades, (2)
achieve a grade point average of 3.66 for the semester, and (3) receive no grade of I, F, or WF during the semester. Also see:
Graduation with Honors (p. 23).

Grade Changes

Any grade changes must be accomplished in the semester immediately following the semester in which the grade was originally
reported.

IP: In Progress Indicates that credit has not been given in courses that require a continuation of work beyond the semester

for which the student signed up for the course. The use of this symbol is approved for project courses.
*The S and U symbols are used for dissertation and thesis hours, student teaching, clinical practicum, internship, and proficiency
requirements in graduate programs, and specifically designated courses.

Graduation Requirements: Undergraduate

All candidates for the bachelor's degree at Augusta State University must satisfy the following conditions:

Students must earn 39 or more hours in upper level courses with at least 21 hours in the major and 15 to 18 total hours in the
minor (if a minor is required), depending upon the field, with a grade of C or better in each course in the major and the minor.
(The Bachelor of Music degree and the Bachelor of Fine Arts degree are more professionally oriented programs and require
more hours in the major field.) Together with the core curriculum and electives and/or foreign language, statistics, and computer
science courses, depending on the major, these requirements will normally total 1 20 hours, not including the physical education
requirement. Specific graduation requirements for undergraduate programs in the Katherine Reese Pamplin College of Arts
and Sciences, the College of Education, and the James M. Hull College of Business are found in the UNDERGRADUATE
PROGRAMS section of this catalog (p. 45).

Application for Graduation: The application must be completed and filed with the registrar no later than the mid-term date
of the semester preceding the final semester of course work. Students must be approved formally for graduation by the
faculty.

Graduation Exercises: Degrees are conferred formally at the close of the spring semester (in May). Students who complete
all requirements for the degree by the end of spring semester receive degrees in May. Students who complete all requirements
for the degree by the end of the summer term or fall semester will receive a degree at the end of the term completed. These
students may elect to walk during the May ceremony of that year or may elect to wait until the following May ceremony.
Degree candidates are encouraged to attend graduation exercises. However, if they are unable to do so. they are required
to notify the Office of the Registrar in writing.

Augusta State University Catalog 21

Payment of Financial Obligations: No student will be permitted to graduate if he or she is in default on any payment due

to the university.

Additional Degrees: Normally, two identical degrees are not awarded. However, a student may receive the appropriate
degree of any other program by completing the additional requirements of that program and earning at least 30 hours of
resident credit (20 hours for the associate degree) in excess of the requirement for the original degree.

Core Curriculum: The core curriculum was developed by the University System of Georgia for the purpose of facilitating the
education of students as they pursue baccalaureate degrees within and among the units of the University System. It includes
60 hours of lower level courses that would normally be covered in the first half of a baccalaureate degree program. A student
who completes the requirements of the core, or any area of the core, will have the assurance that credit for all of this work
can transfer to any other unit of the University System. All candidates for the bachelor's degree at Augusta State University
must satisfactorily complete the core curriculum. The list of courses in the core curriculum is presented at the beginning of
the UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAMS section of this catalog (p. 45).

Course Requirements: Complete a minimum of 60 hours for the associate degree or 1 20 hours for the baccalaureate degree
(exclusive of credit earned in lower division Physical Education courses) as specified for the candidate's program. There will
be a minimum of 39 hours of upper division courses required for students graduating with the baccalaureate degree.

Credit from Other Institutions: See Residence Requirement and Credit from Other Institutions (p. 23).

Degree Requirements in Effect at Candidacy for Graduation: A candidate for graduation is subject to requirements in
effect at the time of initial enrollment; however, changes may have been made while the student is enrolled. The changes
in requirements shall be implemented so as to minimize the problems of transition for currently enrolled students, but since
some changes are considered to be improvements, the new requirements may apply. Exceptions may be made by the
department chairperson in conjunction with the advisor, appropriate department faculty, and, as necessary, the dean.

A student who is not enrolled for two or more consecutive years or who transfers for two or more semesters to another
institution will be required to complete a new application for graduation and will be subject to the requirements for graduation
in effect at that time, or if readmitted, will be subject to the requirements in effect at the time of readmission.

English 1101 and 1102, When to Enroll: (a) Students must enroll in English 1101 no later than the first semester they
register following completion of 20 hours of Augusta State University residence/transfer credit, (b) Students must continue
to register for English 1101 each successive semester until they have completed the course with a grade of C or better, (c)
Students who complete 1101 must enroll in English 1102 no later than the first semester they register following completion of
30 hours credit, (d) Students must continue to register for English 1102 each successive semester until they have completed
the course with a grade of C or better.

Grade Point Average: Students must achieve an institutional grade point average (see p. 18) of at least 2.00 on all work
attempted at this university or an academic renewal grade point average of at least 2.00 on all work since the date of
academic renewal (if the student is eligible for academic renewal and elects to accept academic renewal).

Graduation Fee: This $25 fee is to be paid to the Business Office at the time the application for graduation is submitted.

Legislative Requirements: In 1975, the Georgia legislature enacted a measure that requires all graduates to have passed
examinations on the history of the United States and of Georgia and on the provisions and principles of the constitutions
of the United States and of Georgia. No academic credit is given for these examinations, which are administered each
semester by Testing and Disability Services.

Certain history and political science courses (i.e., HIST 2111, HIST 2112, HIST 3711, POLS 1101, and POLS 4101), which
are described later in the catalog, will satisfy this requirement. Students who fail one or both of the examinations should
contact the chair of the appropriate department (History or Political Science) soon after the examination date.

Wellness Requirement: Students must complete the required courses in Wellness as described below:

Baccalaureate Degree : Each student is required to pass three courses which should normally be completed during the
freshman and sophomore years. Unless a waiver (as described below) is granted, the requirement will consist of the
following:

Wellness 1000 (3 hrs.)

Two Physical Activity Classes: (2 hrs.)

A physical activity class may be a repeated course offering, but it is suggested the student take advantage of this opportunity
to develop other skills by taking another activity class.

Augusta State University Catalog

Associate Degree (Note the exception for nursing students described in section A below): Each student is required to pass
two courses. Unless a waiver (as described below) is granted, the requirement will consist of the following:

Wellness 1000 (3 hrs.)

One Physical Activity Class (1 hr.)

Waivers and Substitutions : Waivers are the same for the Baccalaureate Degree program and the Associate Degree program,
as follows:

(A) Wellness 1000 (3 hrs.)

All students are required to successfully complete this course with the following exception.

Nursing Students: Nursing students may satisfy the Wellness 1000

(3 hrs.) course requirement through the course studies within their degree program. The department chair of nursing
will sign off on this requirement on the application for graduation. All nursing students are required to satisfy 2 hours
of physical activity course requirements. Note that only degree candidate nursing students will have the Wellness
and Fitness course waived.

Effective Fall 2007 there is no swim activity requirement for current or entering undergraduate students.

Residence Requirements and Credit from Other Institutions: If seeking an associate degree, a student must complete
in residence at Augusta State University a minimum of 20 hours of academic credit. If seeking a baccalaureate degree, a
student must complete in residence at Augusta State University at least 25 percent of the credits required for the degree and
a minimum of 30 hours of academic credit in courses numbered 3000 or above. At least one-half of the major concentration
and at least one-half of the minor concentration must be completed in residence at Augusta State University.
The amount of credit that the university will allow for work done in another institution within a given period of time may not
exceed the normal amount of credit that could have been earned at the university during that time. A maximum of 62 hours
of credit earned in a junior college may be applied toward a degree.

Regents' Testing Program Examination: A student must demonstrate proficiency in reading and writing skills by passing all
parts of this examination. The examination is administered each semester and students are advised when they are eligible
and must take this examination. Transfer students who are eligible will be notified of the earliest testing date following their
initial enrollment.

Students with SAT-I Verbal scores of at least 51 or ACT Reading scores of at least 23 will be considered to have fulfilled the
reading comprehension requirements of the Regents' test and do not need to take the reading portion of the Regents' Test.
Scores must be from a national administration of the SAT or ACT.

Policy for student who entered between Fall 2005 and Spring 2007:

Students with the following combinations of SAT Verbal or ACT English scores and grades in ENGL 1101 will be considered
to have fulfilled the writing requirements of the Regents' test and do not need to take the essay portion of the Regents' Test:

1 . Students with SAT-I Verbal scores of at least 530 or ACT English scores of at least 23 who also earn an A in ENGL
1101.

2. Students with SAT-1 Verbal scores of at least 590 or ACT English scores of at least 26 who also earn a B in ENGL
1101.

Policy for student who enter Summer 2007 or later:

the Regents' Test. (See also Regents' Testing Program, p. 25.)

Special Examinations: Special examinations may be required of the student as he or she progresses through various levels
of the curriculum.

Graduation with Honors: Excellence in academic work is recognized at graduation by the award of honor rank in general
scholarship. The overall grade point average is used in the awarding of academic honors. A student who averages 3.85 or
more is graduated summa cum laude; one who averages 3.65, but less than 3.85. is graduated magna cum laude; and one
who averages 3.50, but less than 3.65, is graduated cum laude. This distinction of high academic achievement is placed on
the student's diploma and is noted on the permanent record.

Augusta State University Catalog 23

A student who has transferred to Augusta State University is eligible to graduate with honors only if the grade point average
for his or her university career meets one of the above requirements and the student has completed at least 60 hours of
courses in residence for the bachelor's degree (30 hours in residence for the associate's degree). Also the Augusta State
University Regents' GPA must meet the above requirements. The honors will be determined by the lower of the two GPAs.

Honors Program

The Augusta State University Honors Program offers special opportunities to superior undergraduate students who enjoy the
challenges and rewards of a stimulating academic environment. Students in any major may apply for the Honors Program
and complete requirements to be recognized as ASU Honors Program graduates. Honors classes are open to other excellent
students on a space available basis. Honors classes are small, offer more personal contact with professors, and ask students
and professors to explore course content actively and intensively; they do not however, have a different grading scale and are
not graded more strictly than other courses. A complete description of the ASU Honors Program is located at the beginning of
the UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAMS section of this catalog.

Learning Support, Rules for Students in

A student in the Learning Support Program who is permitted to take regular credit courses is subject to the university regulations
concerning probation and suspension. However, these regulations do not apply to hours of "institutional credit" attempted or
earned.

1 . During each semester of enrollment, all Learning Support students, including those attending part-time, must first register
for all required Learning Support courses before being allowed to register for other courses.

Two exceptions are possible:

a. When two or three Learning Support courses are required and a student is enrolled in at least one Learning Support
course, a freshman orientation course or physical education or other activity or performance courses may be taken that
semester instead of one of the required Learning Support courses. These courses must be chosen from Augusta State
University orientation (ASUO 1 000), physical education (WELL), military science (MILS), or music (MUSA or MUSI).

b. In the event that a required Learning Support course is not offered, a student may enroll in a course for degree credit
if the student has met the course prerequisites, subject to the written approval of the Chair of Learning Support. No
exceptions shall be made regarding prerequisites.

2. Until individual Learning Support requirements have been satisfied, students will not be permitted to take credit courses
which assume the content or the skills of a student's required Learning Support courses as prerequisites:

a. Mathematics 0096, 0097, and 0099 are prerequisites for Mathematics 1111 and 1101; English 0097 and 0099 are
prerequisites for English 1101; Biology 2111 and Biology 2112; Reading 0097 and 0099 are prerequisites for English
1101.

b. In addition, students who are enrolled in Reading 0097 may enroll only in the following credit courses: Mathematics
courses; all 1000-level Applied Music (MUSA) courses; all music ensembles and all 0000 - 1000-level music courses;
all 1000- and 2000-level art courses; 1000- and 2000-level Military Science courses; all 1000-level Physical Education
courses; Military Science courses; Communication/Drama 2500, 2510.

c. Students enrolled in Reading 0099 may enroll in the courses listed above, in Communication/ Speech 1010 and 1020
and in ASUO 1000.

3. Once assigned to the Learning Support Program, a student may not accumulate more than 20 hours of academic credit
before completing all Learning Support requirements. A student who accumulates 20 hours of academic credit and has not
successfully completed required Learning Support courses may enroll only in Learning Support courses until requirements
in Learning Support are successfully completed.

4. Students who do not complete the requirements for passing each required area of Learning Support after a maximum of
three attempts per area or two attempts at an area without satisfactorily completing the non-exit level course (0090 / 0096
/ 0097) in the area, will be placed on Learning Support Dismissal and will not be eligible to continue in the program. The
student may not be considered for readmission within three years of the dismissal.

Prior to placing the student who has not exited the Learning Support area within three attempts on Learning Support
Dismissal, the Department of Learning Support considers the student for one additional attempt in the area. (An attempt is
defined as a semester in which the student receives any grade except W.) The student must:

* be individually evaluated and determined to have a reasonable chance for success,

* be in the exit level course (0091/0099) of that area, and

* have reached the limit in only one Learning Support area.

If granted the additional attempt, the student may enroll in only the Learning Support course.

5. No degree credit is earned in Learning Support, though institutional credit is awarded. Time spent in Learning Support
course work is cumulative within the University System, as is the number of attempts per area. Students with transfer credit
or credit earned as a certificate student may be granted up to a total of three attempts in an area of Learning Support.

24 Augusta State University Catalog

6. The following grade symbols are used in Augusta State University's Learning Support program:

S: satisfactory (passed course work, passed institutional requirement, passed COMPASS Exam)
IP: insufficient progress (passed course-work, passed institutional requirement, failed COMPASS)
U: unsatisfactory (failed course work, ineligible to attempt institutional requirement, ineligible to attempt COMPASS:

withdrew after midterm)
W: withdrawal before midterm (not counted as an attempt)
V: audit (volunteer enrollment only)

7. Students enrolled in both Learning Support and credit courses may not withdraw or be withdrawn from a Learning
Support course unless they also withdraw or are withdrawn from all credit courses. All course changes must have advisor
approval.

Load-Overload, Academic

An undergraduate student is considered full time with enrollment in at least 12 hours per semester and one-half time with
enrollment in at least 6 hours per semester. A typical course load for a full-time undergraduate student is 15-17 hours. A
student should carefully consider the advisability of taking an overload; he or she should not attempt to do so solely for financial
reasons. A student wishing to schedule up to, but no more than, 18 hours may use regular registration procedures, which
include approval of the course schedule by the academic advisor. A student required to take remediation due to Regents'
Testing Program policies may not take an overload.
A student may be approved to preregister for more than 18 hours only if:

(1 ) he or she has a Regents' GPA of 3.25 at Augusta State University, or

(2) he or she is within 30 hours of graduation (15 hours for associate degree candidates) at the beginning of. but not
including, the semester of current enrollment.

A student may be approved to register for more than 18 hours only if:

(1) he or she has a Regents' GPA of 3.00 at Augusta State University, or

(2) he or she is within 30 hours of graduation (15 hours for associate degree candidates), or

(3) the student is granted permission by his or her dean, even though he or she is not eligible under the above
conditions.

Credit hours earned by music students in the areas of private instruction (MUSA) and/or music ensemble credits (i.e., university
band, chamber choir, etc.) do not contribute to an overload status. Rather, such credits should be regarded as outside the
normal academic load.

Majors

A major concentration normally requires a minimum of 21 hours. (Also see Graduation Requirements: Undergraduate, p.
21) Grades below C are not accepted for courses in a major concentration. Some departments or colleges require general
education or cognate courses in addition to the core curriculum and major courses. Satisfactory completion of the major concen-
tration is certified by the major department or appropriate college. A student pursuing a degree program may declare a multiple
major, in which case a minor concentration will not be required. The student must complete all requirements for each major.
Upon completion, each major will be recorded on the permanent record. For details on a specific major concentration, see the
UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAMS section of this catalog

Minors

Most bachelor's degree programs require a minor, with the exception of those leading to the degrees of Bachelor of Business
Administration, Bachelor of Fine Arts, the performance major in the Bachelor of Music, and Bachelor of Science in Education,
Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Secondary Education. A minor consists of 15 to 18 hours of courses with at least 9 hours of
upper division courses, depending upon the area of concentration. Grades below C are not accepted for a minor concentration.
Satisfactory completion of the minor concentration is also certified by the minor department or college. Once the minor field is
selected, the student should seek academic advisement for this concentration within the department or college in which he or
she is minoring.

For details on a specific minor field, see the UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAMS section of this catalog. Minor programs offered
at Augusta State University are listed in the Index under Minor Programs.

Regents' Testing Program

The following is the policy of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia and Augusta State University regarding
the Regents' Testing Program:

Augusta State University Catalog

A) Requirements: Students enrolled in undergraduate degree programs shall pass the Regents' Test as a requirement of
graduation. Passing the Regents' Test is defined as having passed all components of the test by scoring above the cutoff
score specified for each component. If one component of the test is passed, that component need not be retaken; this
provision is retroactive to all students who have taken the test in any form since the inception of the program.

B) Exceptions:

1 . Students who hold a baccalaureate or higher degree from a regionally accredited institution of higher education will not
be required to complete the Regents' Test.

2. Students whose mother tongue is other than English may be exempted from taking the Regents' Test, but they will be
expected to demonstrate their skills by performing acceptably on a comparable examination.

3. Students with SAT-I Verbal scores of at least 51 or ACT Reading scores of at least 23 will be considered to have fulfilled
the reading comprehension requirements of the Regents' test and do not need to take the reading portion of the Regents'
Test. Scores must be from a national administration of the SAT or ACT.

Policy for student who entered between Fall 2005 and Spring 2007:

Students with the following combinations of SAT Verbal or ACT English scores and grades in ENGL 1101 will be
considered to have fulfilled the writing requirements of the Regents' test and do not need to take the essay portion of
the Regents' Test:

1 . Students with SAT-I Verbal scores of at least 530 or ACT English scores of at least 23 who also earn an A in ENGL
1101.

2. Students with SAT-1 Verbal scores of at least 590 or ACT English scores of at least 26 who also earn a B in ENGL
1101.

Policy for student who enter Summer 2007 or later:

Students with an SAT Reasoning, Writing Section score of at least 560 will be considered to have fulfilled the writing
requirements of the Regents' test and do not need to take the essay portion of the Regents' Test.

In addition, students with College Board Advanced Placement (AP) English scores of at least a 3, International
Baccalaureate (IB) higher-level English scores of at least 4, or SAT II English Writing scores of at least 650 will be
considered as having fulfilled the essay requirement of the Regents' Test and students with these scores do not need to
take the essay portion of the Regents' Test.

C) When to take the Regents' Test:

1. Students who have satisfactorily completed English 1101 or 1113 or have earned 20 hours of credit must take the
Regents' Test the next semester in which they are enrolled. Students who fail to take the test at this time will not be
allowed to preregister or register for subsequent semesters until they have signed up to take the test during the next
semester. Students who fail to take the test for a second time will not be allowed to register for subsequent semesters
until they have taken the test.

2. Students are required to take only the segment(s) that they have not passed or exempted.

3. Transfer students will be held to all policies as described herein.

4. Non-native speakers of English who have followed the ESL track for their English classes should contact the Department
of English and Foreign Languages for specific procedures concerning the Regents' Test process.

D) Remediation Requirements:

1 . Students who have earned 44 or fewer hours and who fail one or both parts of the Regents' Test must take English 1101
or 1102 if they have not satisfactorily completed these courses: students who have earned 45 hours of credit or more
must take RGTR 0198 and/or RGTE 0199 (as appropriate) for remediation whether or not they have completed English
1101 or 1102.

2. Students required to enroll in English 1101, 1102, RGTR 0198 and/or RGTE 0199 as required above must meet all
requirements of these courses. Students required to take English 1101, 1102, RGTR 0198, and/or RGTE 0199 may not
take an overload or withdraw from this class. Students who miss the equivalent of one week of class will be withdrawn
from the class, prohibited from taking the Regents' Test that semester.

3. Part-time students taking only one course per semester may be permitted to take remediation and repeat the test in only
one area at a time although they may have previously failed both components of the Regents' Test. Students who select
this option may not take regular degree credit courses during that semester.

26

Augusta State University Catalog

E) Regents' Test Remediation Appeal Procedure:

Students who wish to appeal the requirement that they remediate, as specified in D above, should make their appeals in
writing to the Vice President for Academic Affairs. Students who appeal merely because remediating is inconvenient or
because they have already registered for the current semester should not expect to have their appeals approved.

F) Review of Essay:

A student may request a formal review of his or her failure on the essay component of the Regents' Test if that student's
essay received at least one passing score among the three scores awarded and if the student has successfully completed
English 1101 and 1102. Any student who fails the essay component of the Regents' Testing Program may secure a copy
of his or her essay from the Department of English and Foreigh Languages. The student should enroll in RGTE 0199 and
take the copy of the essay to his or her first class. The instructor will review and mark the essay indicating if he or she thinks
the essay should be appealed. If the instructor and the student agree that the essay should be appealed, they will submit
an unmarked copy of the essay to a committee consisting of three faculty members appointed by the Vice President for
Academic Affairs. If the student does not concur with the 0199 instructor's evaluation of the essay, he or she may appeal
the essay by immediately notifying the committee of his or her intent to appeal and requesting that an unmarked copy of the
essay be sent to the committee. If a majority of the review panel feels that the essay should be appealed, the committee will
send its recommendation, along with a copy of the essay, to the System's Director of the Regents' Testing Program. On the
other hand, a vote by the committee to sustain the essay's failing score will terminate the review process.

The initial step in the review and the review itself are intended to deal with perceived errors in ratings. The review is not
automatically indicated by a student's failure to pass the essay. A review is indicated only when there is substantial question
concerning the accuracy of scoring and when the criteria set forth in the first sentence of this section on Review of Essay
have been met.

The on-campus review committee will consist of three members, each of whom is an experienced essay rater. A decision
by the on-campus review panel to terminate the review is final; this decision cannot be appealed to any other office, except
in cases where it is reasonably alleged that an adverse decision was based on discrimination with respect to the student's
race, religion, sex, handicap, age, or national origin.

Transient and Co-enrolled Augusta State University Students

An Augusta State University student must be in good standing and must obtain prior approval to enroll in any and all credit
courses at any other institution as a transient or co-enrolled student. This prior approval of each course must be obtained
from the Augusta State University department or college that offers a course most comparable to the one that will be taken
elsewhere. A transient student is defined as a degree candidate at Augusta State University who is granted the privilege of
temporary registration at another institution and will not be enrolled at Augusta State during that period of temporary registration.
A co-enrolled student is defined as a degree candidate at Augusta State University who is granted the privilege of enrolling at
both Augusta State and another institution during a semester.

A student who has attempted a course at Augusta State University and received a penalty grade in that course may not take
the course at another institution and transfer it back to Augusta State University. (Penalty grades include Fs. and WFs in all
courses, and Ds, Fs and WFs in English 1101, English 1102, and major and minor courses.) A statement granting permission
to attend another accredited institution will be provided by the Augusta State University Registrar after department or college
approval has been obtained.

Unit of Credit (The Semester System)

Wherever this catalog uses the term "hours," it is referring to "semester hours" as understood within the semester system.
Augusta State University is organized on this system. Each of the two semesters in the regular academic year covers a period
of approximately 16 weeks, which includes 15 weeks of instruction. The summer session is 11 weeks, with some courses being
offered in one of two half sessions. Each half session has 23 class days. The "semester hour" is the unit of credit in any course.
It represents a recitation period of one fifty-minute period a week for a semester. A course meeting 150 minutes a week for 15
weeks would thus give credit of 3 hours when completed satisfactorily. For credit purposes. 2 to 3 laboratory or activity hours
are usually counted as the equivalent of one recitation class period. Also see Course Repeat Policy, p. 20.

Withdrawal from a Course

The responsibility for initiating a withdrawal resides with the student. A student who registers for a course and stops attending
class (or never attends class) is not automatically withdrawn by the instructor and is subject to receiving a grade of WF or F
for the course. Forms for initiating a withdrawal may be obtained from the Office of the Registrar (Office of Veterans' Affairs).
A student is strongly advised to consult with his or her advisor before withdrawing from a course. A student must obtain the
signature of the instructor to officially withdraw from a course. An instructor may withdraw a student for excessive absences.
(See Class Attendance, p. 19. for attendance policies and Grading System, p. 21, for grading policy upon withdrawal.) The
official date of withdrawal is the date the Withdrawal Form is received in the Office of the Registrar.

Email Policies and Procedures

Policies

Electronic mail (email) is an official method of communication at Augusta State University, delivering information in a convenient,
timely, cost-effective and environmentally sensitive manner. It is the policy of this institution that:

all students, faculty and applicable personnel have access to email, and

the university may send official communications via email and electronic mailing lists.

Student Email. All students registered for classes at Augusta State University are provided an email account through their
access to the ASU Campus Pipeline system. The University may use this email account to send communications to the student
body. Student email addresses will be recorded in the university's electronic directories and records. Students are responsible
for reading official university email in a timely fashion.

Privacy Issues. While email is personalized and relatively confidential, there is no guarantee of absolute privacy in a computer
system. Computer users should be aware that the Georgia Open Records Act applies to records stored in computers as well as
on paper. Recent rulings indicate that the public has a right to review any documents created on email by government officials
and that companies who own the media on which email is implemented have the right to read that email. Federal and state law
may require the university to examine email under some circumstances including provision of messages to outside agencies.
However, employees of Information Technology Services at Augusta State University are prohibited from accessing information
for which they have no job-related "need to know." They are also expected to maintain the strictest confidentiality regarding any
information obtained during the course of fulfilling their job function.

Appropriate Use of Email. All use of email will be consistent with other university policies, including the Augusta State University
computer and network usage policy. Policies concerning acceptable use of information technology resources can be found on
the Information Technology Services website (www.aug.edu/its/policies.html). Email is not appropriate for transmitting:

sensitive or confidential information hoaxes, scams, false warnings

obscene material mass mailings

chain letters or "mail bombs"

Augusta State University Catalog

31

Misuse of Augusta State University email is subject to penalty including, but not limited to, suspension from email use, banning
from email use, suspension from Augusta State University, or expulsion from Augusta State University.

Legal Issues. All use of email will be consistent with local, state, and federal law including laws against private use of state
property, divulging confidential educational records, copyright infringement, fraud, slander, libel, harassment, and obscenity.
Laws against obscene or harassing telephone calls apply to computers that are accessed by telephone.

Procedures
Information Technology Services. Contact Information Technology Services immediately if:

you are bothered by uninvited email and have asked the sender to cease yet the email persists;
you require specific instructions about or assistance with email accounts.

Helpdesk services for students are also available from Information Technology Services.

Student Use of Email. The following procedures apply to student email accounts:

1 ) Students are expected to check their Augusta State University official email no less than twice per week;

2) Faculty may require students to check their email more frequently than twice per week;

3) Faculty may also require students to subscribe to university provided electronic mailing lists or other lists related to their
coursework.

Changes to this policy will be authorized by approval of the Faculty Policies Committee. Questions or comments about this
policy should be directed to the Vice President for Academic Affairs.

Endowed Professorship Positions

The Fuller E. Calloway Chair: In 1 968, the Calloway Foundation created a ten million dollar trust to encourage the enrichment
of the academic programs of 33 senior colleges and universities in Georgia by providing funds for the establishment of forty
professorial chairs. The trust was designated to enable these institutions to retain and add superior faculty members. Faculty
members appointed to these chairs must be full professors who have demonstrated superior teaching abilities and have
achieved distinction as teachers. The chairs are for teaching at the graduate and undergraduate level on a full-time basis.

The Cree-Walker Chairs: The Cree-Walker Professorships in Business Administration, Communications, and Education were
established in memory of the Reverend and Mrs. Howard T Cree and Mr. J. Miller Walker, the parents and husband of the
late Mrs. J. Miller Walker. The chair in business administration was established to help in bridging theory to practice and
maintaining links between the James M. Hull College of Business and the community. The chair in communications is intended
to be a catalyst to enhance the interface between the School of Business Administration and the communications program in
the College of Arts and Sciences and to ensure a contemporary perspective in teaching, research, and professional service
associated with the field of communications. The chair in the College of Education is intended to be a catalyst to enhance
pre-service and in-service teacher education programs at the university.

William S. Morris Eminent Scholar in Art: The Eminent Scholars Chair in Art was approved in March of 1988 by the
Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia. The chair, named in honor of the late William S. Morris, is the first
Eminent Scholars Chair at any University System state university-level institution. The $1 million endowment for the chair
was established through contributions from William S. Morris III, chairman of the board and chief executive officer of Morris
Communications Corp., parent company of The Augusta Chronicle; the Georgia General Assembly; and the Augusta State
University Foundation, Inc. The Georgia Eminent Scholars Endowment Trust Fund was created in 1985 by the Georgia General
Assembly. The purpose is to provide challenge grants to University System of Georgia colleges and universities to endow
chairs designed to attract eminent scholars to join their faculties.

The Maxwell Chair: The Grover C. Maxwell Chair of Business Administration was established by the three sons of Grover
Cleveland Maxwell, Sr. A $150,000 trust fund was established to promote and encourage teaching proficiency and high
scholastic attainment at Augusta State University. The Maxwell Professor of Business Administration is selected by the President
of Augusta State University with the advice of a special committee.

HIV Policy

NOTE: This policy is based in part on recommendations from The American College Health and Human Services' Guidelines
for Prevention of Human Immunodeficiency Virus and Hepatitis B Virus Health Care and Public Safety Workers.

The spread of HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) is a serious public health problem in the United States. The medical,
social, legal and ethical issues associated with HIV/AIDS affect colleges and universities as well as society as a whole.

HIV is the causative agent of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS). AIDS destroys the human body's defense system
and allows life-threatening infections and unusual cancers. There is no known cure or vaccine for prevention. An individual
can transmit the virus even in the absence of symptoms. Available medical knowledge indicates the transmission is primarily
through sexual contact or through sharing of needles. According to the Centers for Disease Control, contracting the disease in
one's normal daily activities is not known to occur.

Because of the seriousness of the HIV/AIDS issue, Augusta State University establishes this policy, which focuses on prevention
(through education of students, faculty, and staff) and on the compassionate treatment of those afflicted.

Anyone in the Augusta State University community who becomes aware of an HIV/AIDS related situation involving an employee.
student, or visitor shall follow the guidelines stated in this policy.

1. ADMISSION OR EMPLOYMENT: Augusta State University accepts otherwise qualified individuals presenting themselves
for admission, or employment, irrespective of their HIV status.

2. DISABLING CONDITIONS: Persons who are HIV positive may be considered by law to have disabling conditions. The
legal rights of these individuals must

be guaranteed, and existing support services for disabled individuals made available to students or employees disabled by
HIV infection.

3. STUDENT ATTENDANCE: Augusta State University students who are HIV infected, whether they are symptomatic or
asymptomatic, will be allowed regular class-room attendance as long as they are physically and mentally able to attend
classes as determined by current Augusta State University standards.

4. ACCESS TO FACILITIES: There will be no unreasonable restriction of access on the basis of HIV infection to student or
employee facilities, snack bars, gymnasiums, swimming pools, recreational facilities, or other common areas.

5. SELF-DISCLOSURE: Neither students, student applicants, employees, nor applicants for employment at Augusta State
University will be routinely asked to respond to questions concerning the evidence of HIV infection.

6. IMMUNIZATIONS: Incoming students known to have HIV infection need not be exempted from Augusta State University
requirements for non-live virus vaccinations since only live-virus vaccinations have potentially serious consequences for HIV-
infected persons. Persons who are required to receive live virus immunizations should consult with their private physician
or the Richmond County Health Department for current recommendations.

7. INFORMATION. TESTING, AND COUNSELING:

TESTING: Students or employees requesting HIV antibody testing will be referred to the local board of health.

Augusta State University Catalog 33

INFORMATION AND COUNSELING: Information and counseling are available through the campus Counseling Center.
EDUCATION: All undergraduate students at Augusta State University must take WELLNESS (WELL 1000) as a graduation
requirement. This course includes information on HIV/AIDS. Seminars, lectures, and the campus newsletter will be used
to update faculty, students, and staff on HIV-related issues as new information is made available or additional issues need
to be addressed.

8. CONFIDENTIALITY: According to the American College Health Association, current medical information concerning HIV
status neither justifies nor requires warning others of the presence of someone with HIV/AIDS. Situations in which disclosure
will be made will be determined on a case-by-case basis in consultation with counseling services.

9. TEACHING LABORATORIES: Laboratory courses requiring exposure to blood, in which blood is obtained by a finger stick,
will use disposable equipment, and no lancets or other blood-letting devices should be reused or shared. All sharps and
needles will be disposed of in puncture-resistant containers designated for this purpose. All teaching laboratories should
conform to OSHA standards for management of blood-borne pathogens.

10. COLLEGIATE SPORTS: Augusta State University Sports programs conform to NCAA sports guidelines concerning the
management of blood borne pathogens. Disposal of biohazardous waste shall be disposed of in accordance with the
Occupational Safety and Health Act, Standard 1910.1030.

11 . JOB PERFORMANCE: Faculty, staff, students, and all other persons affiliated with Augusta State University shall perform
the responsibilities of their positions irrespective of the HIV status of students or co-workers.

12. BEHAVIOR RISK: Students, faculty, and staff who are HIV positive and who are aware of the potential danger of their
condition to others and who engage in behavior (while performing their employee or student-related activities) which
threatens the safety and welfare of others may be subject to discipline in accordance with Augusta State University
disciplinary procedures and/or prevailing law.

13. PUBLIC SAFETY: When responding to an emergency situation where there is the threat of, or evidence of blood or body
fluids, officers will wear disposable latex gloves and disposable face masks if necessary. The portable pocket mask will be
used for artificial respiration by those performing CPR.

14. APPLICABILITY TO OTHER AUGUSTA STATE UNIVERSITY HIV POLICIES: More specific written policies may be
developed as needed by Department Chairpersons. All policies must be compatible with the university-wide policy.

listed here. Some of the tests have fees and require registration. Fees and test dates vary and can be obtained by calling the
Office. Testing information can be picked up from the Office.

Disability Services provides assistance to students who have either a physical, emotional or learning impairment which
substantially limits one or more life activities. To receive services, students must provide current documentation of the disability
from a qualified professional. The Board of Regents' criteria for evaluations must be followed in the documentation of learning
disorders or attention deficit disorders.

It is important to note that Disability Services may require advanced notice (two months or more before the student's first day
of class) in order to coordinate reasonable accommodations. Please contact the Office in order to schedule an appointment.

Certain auxiliary aid services, like sign-language interpreters, may take several months to coordinate. Augusta State University
uses the services of the National Recording for the Blind and Dyslexic to provide books in an alternative format for students who
have a documented need for this accommodation. Depending on availability, books in an alternative format may take seven
to ten days (if already available on tape) to several months for production (if the text is not available on tape). It is therefore
necessary for students who need specialized services to plan their future accommodations at least a semester in advance.

Learning Disabilities (LP) : Students who have been diagnosed within the last three years or believe that they have a learning
disability, should contact the Office of Testing and Disability Services for information related to LD documentation and testing. In
assisting students with learning disabilities, Augusta State University follows the definition and criteria for evaluation established
by the Board of Regents (BOR) of the University System of Georgia. The Office of Testing and Disability Services does not

Augusta State University Catalog

provide testing for learning disabilities, however, referrals to the appropriate Regents' Center for Learning Disorders, must be
received through this office. Testing may also be conducted by a qualified professional utilizing the BOR criteria for outside
evaluations (only assessments meeting BOR criteria will be accepted as documentation of a learning disability).

Veterans' Affairs (706-737-1606)

Augusta State University maintains a full-time Office of Veterans' Affairs (OVA) to assist veterans in maximizing their educational
experience. The OVA coordinates and/or monitors ASU and VA programs, policies, and procedures as they pertain to veterans.
The Office of Veterans' Affairs is housed in the Registrar's office on the first floor of Payne Hall.

As students at Augusta State University, veterans and certain other persons may qualify under Chapters 30, 31 , 32, 35, Title 38,
and Chapter 1606 Title 10, UNITED STATES CODE, for financial assistance from Veterans Affairs. Eligibility for such benefits
must be established in accordance with policies and procedures of the VA. Interested persons are advised to investigate
their eligibility early in their planning for college. Pertinent information and assistance may be obtained from the Augusta
State University Office of Veterans' Affairs. New or returning students should make adequate financial provisions for one full
semester from other sources, since payments from the VA are sometimes delayed.

The Office of Veterans' Affairs furnishes the Veterans Affairs certifications of enrollment. Eligible persons should establish and
maintain contact with the OVA to ensure their understanding of and compliance with both VA and university policy, procedure,
and requirements, thereby ensuring timely and accurate receipt of benefits and progress toward an educational objective.

Each person receiving VA education benefit payments is responsible for ensuring that all information affecting his or her receipt
of benefits is kept current, and each must confer personally with the staff in the OVA at least once each semester to keep his
or her status active and current to receive funds.

Student Rights and Responsibilities

Academic Honesty

In an academic community, honesty and integrity must prevail if the work done and the honors awarded are to receive their
respect. The erosion of honesty is the academic community's ultimate loss. The responsibility for the practice and preservation
of honesty must be equally assumed by all of its members.

Definition: Academic honesty requires the presentation for evaluation and credit of one's own work, not the work of others. In
general, academic honesty excludes:

1. Cheating on an examination of any type: giving or receiving, offering or soliciting information on any examination. This
includes the following:

a. Copying from another student's paper.

b. Use of prepared materials, notes, or texts other than those specifically permitted by the instructor during the
examination.

c. Collaboration with another student during an examination.

d. Buying, selling, stealing, soliciting, or transmitting an examination or any other material purported to be the unreleased
contents of an upcoming examination, or the use of any such material.

e. Substituting for another person during an examination or allowing such substitution for oneself.

f. Bribery of any person to obtain examination information.

2. Plagiarism is the failure to acknowledge indebtedness. It is always assumed

that the written work offered for evaluation and credit is the student's own unless otherwise acknowledged. Such
acknowledgment should occur whenever one quotes another person's actual works; whenever one appropriates another
person's ideas, opinions, or theories, even if they are paraphrased; and whenever one borrows facts, statistics, or other
illustrative materials unless the information is common knowledge.

3. Collusion is collaboration with another person in the preparation or editing of notes, themes, reports, or other written work
or in laboratory work offered for evaluation and credit, unless such collaboration is specifically approved in advance by the
instructor.

4. Credential misrepresentation is the use of false or misleading statements in order to gain admission to Augusta State
University. It also involves the use of false or misleading statements in an effort to obtain employment or college admission
elsewhere, while one is enrolled at Augusta State University.

Faculty Responsibility: It is the duty of the faculty to practice and preserve academic honesty and to encourage it among
students. The instructor should clarify any situation peculiar to the course that may differ from the generally stated policy. He or
she should furthermore endeavor to make explicit the intent and purpose of each assignment so that the student may complete
the assignment without unintentionally compromising academic honesty. It is the responsibility of the faculty member to provide
for appropriate supervision of examinations.

Student Responsibility: It is the duty of the student to practice and preserve academic honesty. If the student has any doubt
about a situation, he or she should consult with his or her instructor.

Procedures: Upon encountering a violation of academic honesty by a student, a faculty member should:

1 . Confront the student and make the charges known.

2. Discuss the matter thoroughly with the student so that each position is clearly delineated.

3. Decide what action is appropriate.

4. Remind the student to refer to the Student Academic Appeals and Student Academic Grievances procedures outlined
below.

If the action is less severe than a WF for the course:

1 . Report the violation and the action taken to the chairperson of the department in which the violation occurred, who will then
report the matter to the Dean of that College.

2. Decide whether the incident shall be made part of the academic dishonesty file in the office of the Vice President for
Academic Affairs.

If a WF for the course:

3. Notify the Dean of the College through his/her departmental chairperson and initiate a WF withdrawal form. At this point, the
matter shall be reviewed by a departmental committee, the chairperson, or the Dean.

4. If those reviewing the matter do not agree with the interpretation of the evidence or with the action taken by the faculty
member, they may ask him/her to reconsider. After reconsidering the matter, the faculty member may stand by the original
decision and forward the WF withdrawal form to the Dean.

5. If those reviewing agree with the faculty member, the withdrawal form shall be forwarded to the Dean.

Augusta State University Catalog 39

The Dean shall:

1 . Review each faculty member's recommendation for a WF for the course, check the academic honesty status of the student
via the academic dishonesty file, and either let the WF stand or make some other recommendation. The final decision shall
be made by the faculty member.

2. If the WF is to stand, send the withdrawal form to the Registrar and request the Vice President for Academic Affairs to enter
the violation in the academic dishonesty file.

3. Notify the student in writing of the action taken, remind the student of his/her right to appeal as outlined below, and inform
the student that if he/she plans to appeal, the appeal must be filed within three calendar days.

4. Notify the involved faculty member in writing of the action taken.

The Vice President for Academic Affairs shall:

1. Upon a student's second offense requiring a WF for a course, expel the student from Augusta State University and direct
the Registrar to enter the phrase "Ineligible to Register" on the student's permanent record.

2. Maintain the academic dishonesty file so that all appropriate administrators have access to the record of violations but also
so that the student's rights to limited access shall be safe-guarded.

Should the student desire to appeal the decision that a violation of academic honesty occurred, he or she may appeal that
finding via the academic grievance process. A student who wishes to appeal shall submit a written grievance (as defined in
stage two of the Student Academic Grievance policy) to the appropriate dean. The dean will provide copies of the written
grievance to the instructor, the department chair, and the Academic Policies Committee and will ask the Academic Policies
Committee to arrange a hearing in the manner set forth in this catalog under stage three of Student Academic Grievances. The
grievance will proceed beginning at stage three, section A of the grievance process.

Discipline

Augusta State University has defined the relationships and appropriate behavior of students as members of the university
community through the document Student Code of Conduct in the Student Handbook. The document is available to all members
of the university community through the Office of the Dean of Students.

The students of Augusta State University have established a precedent of exemplary behavior as members of the university
and civic communities. Individuals and groups are expected to observe the tradition of decorum and behave in no way which
would precipitate physical, social, or emotional hazards to other members of the university community. Improper behavior is at
once a breach of tradition and inconsistent with the aims and objectives of the university. Such behavior subjects the student
to disciplinary probation, suspension, expulsion, or other appropriate disciplinary measures.

Student Academic Appeals

(also see Student Academic Grievances, p. 41)

An academic appeal is a request for review of an administrator's decision made with respect to an individual student which
bears upon his/her student career. The appeals procedure does not apply to issues which have broad application to the
university as a whole or to constituent groupings within the university. However, appeals can be made in matters such as
admission, transfer of credit, probation, suspension, dismissal, and other similar matters. A supervisor's decision in an appeal
can itself be appealed, but there is no appeal of the President's decisions except in cases where it is reasonably alleged that a
decision against the student was based on discrimination with respect to race, sex, age, handicap, religion, or national origin.

A student may file an appeal whenever he or she can reasonably claim that an administrator's decision affecting his or her
program of study was not justified by the procedures and/or guidelines established to govern that decision. It is not necessary
that the student allege discrimination or other wrongdoing on the part of the administrator.

The student should submit the appeal in writing to the immediate supervisor of the administrator whose decision he or she
questions. It is the student's responsibility to gather the evidence necessary to support his or her case and to include that
evidence when submitting the written appeal. In preparing the appeal, the student should keep in mind that the primary issue
is whether the administrative decision was justified by the procedures and/or guidelines established to govern that decision.

The supervisor to whom the appeal is made may choose to appoint and be advised by a consultative board composed of
students and/or faculty and/or administrators of the supervisor's own choosing, and may also choose to charge such a board
with hearing oral arguments and/or with making inquiries into specified matters of fact. However, if a student has alleged
discrimination on the basis of race, sex, age, handicap, religion, or national origin, a consultative board must be appointed and
must include at least one student and at least one faculty member who is not an administrator. In no case will the supervisor
be bound by the advice of the board.

40 Augusta State University Catalog

Student Academic Grievances

(also see Student Academic Appeals, p. 40)

The following grievance procedure primarily applies to a student's alleged violations of his or her rights by his or her instructor.
However, if a student's problem is related to admission, transfer of credit, probation, suspension, or dismissal, he or she
may wish to enter an academic appeal, as described in the previous section of this manual. If the student's problem is with
an administrator's decision regarding a matter between the student and the instructor, the student should use the academic
appeals process unless he or she can reasonably claim that the administrator's decision constitutes a violation of his or her
rights. In the latter case, the student may choose to use the academic grievance procedure, adapting it to his or her case so
as to begin with the administrator and his or her supervisor rather than the instructor and his or her chair and dean (as outlined
below). The Academic Policies Committee is the final arbiter of whether such a grievance against an administrator should be
resolved instead through the appeals process. If the student's problem is related to a non-academic issue, the student should
refer to the Student Conduct Code.

If the student wishes to initiate a grievance, he or she must follow the student academic grievance procedure as outlined below,
keeping in mind the following principles:

1. The student must start with a sincere attempt to settle the dispute in an informal manner with the instructor. Administrators
can initially hear the student's concerns and refer him or her to this document, but they will not discuss any specific grievance
until the appropriate procedural steps have been taken.

2. Within the guidelines of the institution, faculty have authority and responsibility for course content, classroom procedure,
and grading, except insofar as it can be shown that a decision was arbitrary or capricious, or based on discrimination with
respect to race, religion, sex, handicap, age, or national origin.

3. In order for a student to prepare his or her case, keep in mind that when he or she presents the facts, the burden of proof is
on him or her, not on the instructor.

4. Students who have legitimate grievances which cannot be resolved at the departmental level are encouraged to pursue their
cases and follow the procedures outlined below. However, frivolous or mendacious complaints are discouraged. Students
and faculty are further advised that adherence to the full truth represents the best service to their cases, and indeed
that misstated or overstated claims by the principals or their witnesses about the misdeeds of others may lead to civil
penalties.

Administrators shall not discuss the details of a specific grievance with a student who has not followed the procedure outlined
herein, and any representative of a student must follow the same procedure. Public statements about a case shall be
withheld by the parties involved, by the board of review, and by all participants in the hearings until the final decision has been
communicated to the parties to the grievance. If and when an official statement is made of the result of the procedures outlined
below, it shall be made through the office of the appropriate dean. Access to the written record of the hearing, and to all other
records, findings, and recommendations of the board of review and any administrators involved in appeals shall be limited to
authorized personnel.

In the following document, the term "faculty" shall be construed to mean those persons defined as "faculty" by the Bylaws and
Policies of the Board of Regents, the Statutes of the University and those persons appointed by the President to administrative
positions at the institution. Further, the term "days" denotes normal working days on which university classes meet. Weekends,
holidays, final exam periods, and breaks between and within semesters are not to be counted in calculating these time lines.
It should be understood that, at each level in the academic chain of command above the instructor, e.g. the department chair,
dean of the college, vice president for academic affairs, and president of the institution, the administrator may designate an
appropriate representative. Once a student has initiated a written grievance procedure, all responses along this chain of
command must be in writing.

I. Stage One: The Informal Procedure. The student should first make a sincere attempt to settle a dispute in an informal
manner with the instructor. If the student is still not satisfied with the instructor's decision, he/she may then discuss the
matter with the instructor's department chair. If the problem remains unresolved, the student may then discuss the matter
with the instructor's dean.

II. Stage Two: The Written Grievance. If the student has exhausted the procedures outlined in section I above, he/she may
continue as follows:

A. The student shall submit the grievance in writing to the instructor involved.

This document, hereinafter referred to as the written grievance, shall include, but not be limited to. all supporting
documentation and a statement of the specific relief sought by the student. The written grievance must be submitted to
the instructor no later than midterm of the semester following the actions which gave rise to the grievance.

B. If agreement is not reached within five days of the receipt of the written grievance by the instructor, the student may
appeal the instructor's decision to the department chair. The student shall so advise the chair within five days of receiving
that decision.

C. The department chair shall respond to the written grievance within five days of receiving it. The student may choose to
appeal the chair's response by submitting a copy of the grievance to the dean of the appropriate college. The appeal
must be made within five days of the student's having received the response. No appeal may be initiated after the fifth day

Augusta State University Catalog

41

following the student's receipt of the chair's response. As an alternative to a formal hearing (see Stage 3), if the student
is not satisfied with the solution, the student is encouraged to refer the matter to the Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR)
Committee. Augusta State University has chosen mediation as its ADR process. Mediation involves the use of a neutral
third party who seeks to aid the disputants in their effort to reach a mutually satisfying resolution. A student choosing
the ADR process should submit a written grievance to the Dean of Students, rather than to the academic dean. Upon
completion of the ADR process, if no formal resolution has been reached, the student may then move on to Stage 3 by
submitting a written grievance to the appropriate academic dean within five days.

Stage Three: The Formal Hearing. If agreement is not reached within five days of the submission of the written grievance
to the dean, the dean or either party may ask the Academic Policies Committee to arrange a hearing before a formal board
of review.

A. The person submitting this request to the Academic Policies Committee shall transmit with it a copy of the written
grievance and any other documents or exhibits which he/she considers pertinent.

B. Within five days of receiving the request to arrange a hearing, the Academic Policies committee shall act upon
that request. In the case of a grievance against an administrator, the committee shall first determine whether the
problem should more appropriately be resolved through the academic appeals process or whether the academic
grievance process is the appropriate context. In the latter case, the committee shall then determine how to adapt
the procedures of the academic grievance process to this particular situation. It shall then appoint a board of
review, hereinafter referred to as the board, in the following manner:

1 . The board shall consist of five to seven members, including faculty members, at least one student, and the
Dean of Students or his/her designate. One of the faculty members shall be designated by the Academic
Policies Committee to serve as the chair of the board.

2. The Academic Policies Committee shall consult with the parties to assure that its selection of a chair is
acceptable to both parties. Each party shall also be permitted to strike from one to three other proposed
members from the board. When a party strikes a proposed member, the committee will name another in
his/her place; such substitutions may also be struck by either party if that party has not already exhausted
his/her three strikes.

3. No party to the dispute shall be a member of the board.

4. Immediately upon acceptance of the appointment by the chair of the board, the chair of the Academic
Policies Committee shall deliver to him/her the written grievance and all other documents and/or exhibits
received by the committee in the context of the grievance.

C. Within five days of the appointment of the board, the chair shall convene a preliminary closed session of the board
for the following purposes:

1 . To determine the day and hour of the hearing. The hearing must begin within 10 days of the preliminary
session.

2. To distribute to the board all prior communications and documents pertinent to the grievance, including
copies of the written grievance.

D. After the preliminary meeting of the board, the chair shall:

1 . Continue attempts at arbitration at any appropriate point in these proceedings.

2. Prepare an agenda for the hearing and arrange for a meeting place.

3. Engage the assistance of the Associate Vice President for Academic Affairs in utilizing the services of a
confidential secretary or other appropriate means to obtain a verbatim written record of the proceedings.

4. Give written notice to both parties at least five days before convening the hearing. In so doing, the
chair shall advise the parties of their procedural rights, which shall include the right of due process and
specifically the right to:

a) Have present a non-participating advisor. The faculty member may have present either a member
of the legal profession or a full time Augusta State University faculty member. The student may
have present any one individual and may choose to replace that individual with another at any
point during the hearing.

b) Call for supporting witnesses.

c) Inquire into all written and oral testimony, depositions, and exhibits of evidence.

d) Know the identity of all witnesses and the authors of all written testimony and have the opportunity
to confront all such persons by cross-examination or by affidavit.

e) Endeavor to rebut all evidence.

f) Interpret and summarize their individual positions, particularly in relation to wider issues of
academic rights and responsibilities.

g) Be informed of the findings and recommendations of the board. The chair shall be deemed to
have satisfied this requirement if he/she calls the attention of the parties to section lll(D)4 of this
document.

E. The hearing shall be held in closed session. The chair shall distribute copies of the agenda to the parties, the
board members, and any witnesses who may have been called. The chair shall supervise the proceedings and
shall rule on any unusual or special elements with respect to procedures of the board after giving due notice to
disputing parties or their representatives of their procedural rights.

42 Augusta State University Catalog

F. The parties involved must present their own cases even though counsel may be present during the formal hearing.
Normally, the presentations shall include a lucid statement of the case, a presentation of the case by affidavits,
testimony and/or exhibits, and a summary which includes a statement of the specific relief sought from the board.

G. The board shall try to complete the agenda for the hearing in one session. If this is not possible, the term "hearing"
as used throughout this document shall apply collectively to all sessions taken together. The board shall in any
case see to it that all sessions of the hearing have been concluded within five days of the first session of the
hearing.

IV. Stage Four: Deliberations of the Board and its Report

A. Within five days of the conclusion of the hearing, the chair shall see to it that copies of a written verbatim record of the
hearing are distributed to the members of the board, to the two parties, and to the appropriate dean.

B. Within five days of the distribution of the written verbatim record, the board may choose to meet more than once, but in
no case may the deliberations continue past the tenth day following the distribution of the written verbatim record. The
board shall confine its deliberations to the case presented.

C. Within five days of reaching a decision, the board shall issue to the appropriate dean a written report giving its findings
and recommendations.

V. Stage Five: The Dean's Decision

A. If the board has found that the instructor made an arbitrary or capricious decision against the student, or one based on
discrimination with regard to race, religion, sex, handicap, age, or national origin, and if the board has recommended
appropriate relief, the dean may order that relief. Such relief may include, but is not limited to. a change in a disputed
course grade. If the board has made a recommendation on a basis other than a finding that the instructor made an
arbitrary or capricious decision against the student, or one based on discrimination with regard to race, religion, sex.
handicap, age, or national origin, the dean may order that the recommendation shall be followed.

B. Within five days of receiving the board's findings and recommendations, the dean shall forward the following by registered
mail to each of the parties involved:

1. A copy of the board's findings and recommendations.

2. The dean's decision with regard to any relief sought by the parties and/or recommended by the board.
3. Notification to both parties of the right to appeal before the dean takes action. The dean shall be deemed to have
satisfied this requirement if he/she calls the attention of the parties to section VI of this document.

C. If no party makes a written appeal within five days of having been notified by the dean of his/her decision, that decision
shall be considered final and the dean shall see to its implementation.

VI. Stage Six: The Appeals Process

A. It is particularly emphasized that senior administrators are not to be contacted about the details of a grievance except in
the context of an appeal. Neither of the parties is to take his/her case to senior administrators until after the procedures
set forth above have come to their conclusion. This rule applies equally to any representative of the parties.

B. Neither the faculty grievance procedure nor any other procedure may be invoked as a substitute for the appeals process
set forth below.

C. Appeal to the Vice President for Academic Affairs

1. If either party wishes to appeal the decision of the dean, he/she must do so in writing to the Vice President for
Academic Affairs within five days of receiving notification from the dean. The appeal shall include, but is not limited
to, the following:

a) Copies of the written grievance, of the findings and recommendations of the board, of the written verbatim
record of the hearing, and of the dean's letter notifying the parties of his/her decision.

b) An explanation of the reason for the appeal.

c) A specific statement of the relief which the appellant is seeking from the vice president.

2. In the case of an appeal by the student, if the vice president finds that the instructor made an arbitrary or capricious
decision against the student, or one based on discrimination with regard to race, religion, sex. handicap, age. or
national origin, he/she may order relief for the student, including but not limited to a change in a disputed course
grade.

3. Within five days of receiving the written appeal, the vice president shall forward his/her decision to the appropriate
dean, to the two parties, and to the chairs of the board and the Academic Policies Committee. In communicating
this decision, the vice president shall advise the two parties of the right to appeal to the president before the vice
president's decision takes effect. The vice president shall be deemed to have satisfied this requirement if he/she calls
the attention of the parties to sections VI(D) and VI(E) of this document.

4. If no party makes a written appeal within five days of having been notified by the vice president of his/her decision.
that decision shall be considered final and the vice president shall communicate it to the appropriate dean, who shall
see to its implementation.

D. Appeal to the President

1 . If either party wishes to appeal the decision of the Vice President for Academic Affairs, he/she must do so in writing to
the president of the university within five days of being notified of the vice president's decision.

2. At the same time, the appellant shall give notice of the appeal to the Vice President for Academic Affairs, who shall
thereupon forward to the president the materials listed above in section VI(C)1.

Augusta State University Catalog 43

3. In the case of an appeal by the student, if the president finds that the instructor made an arbitrary or capricious decision
against the student, or one based on discrimination with regard to race, religion, sex, handicap, age, or national origin,
he/she may order relief for the student, including but not limited to a change in a disputed course grade.

4. The president shall communicate his/her decision to the two parties, the chairs of the board and the Academic Policies
Committee, the Vice President for Academic Affairs, and the appropriate dean.

5. If either party wishes to appeal the president's decision to the Board of Regents, he/she shall so advise the president
in writing within five days of receiving that decision. If no party so advises the president within those five days, the
decision shall be considered final and the president shall communicate this to the appropriate dean, who shall see to
its implementation.

E. Final Disposition

Final disposition of the case shall be made in accordance with Article IX of the By-Laws of the Board of Regents of the
University System of Georgia:

Any person in the University System for whom no other appeal is provided in the Bylaws and who is aggrieved by a
final decision of the president of an institution, may apply to the Board of Regents, without prejudice to his/her position,
for a review of the decision. The application for review shall be submitted in writing to the Executive Secretary of the
Board within a period of twenty days following the decision of the president. It shall state the decision complained of and
the redress desired. A review by the Board is not a matter of right, but is within the sound discretion of the Board. If the
application for review is granted, the Board or a committee of the Board or a Hearing Officer appointed by the Board,
shall investigate the matter thoroughly and report its findings and recommendations to the Board. The Board shall render
its decision thereon within 60 days from the filing date of the application for review or from the date of any hearing which
may be held thereon. The decision of the Board shall be final and binding for all purposes.

Under current Board of Regents procedures, action by the president on grade appeals is the final and binding administrative
decision; however, in making a policy decision to reject routine grade appeals, the Board of Regents did not intend to bar the
receipt of grade complaints grounded upon alleged invidious discriminatory motivations, such as improper considerations of
race, gender, national origin, religion, age, or handicap.

Confidentiality of Student Records

Under the provisions of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, Augusta State University has established
policies concerning the confidentiality of student educational records. Students have the right to seek correction of the contents
of these records, to place an explanatory note in a record when a challenge is not successful, and to control (with certain
exceptions) the disclosure of the contents of their records.

Directory information concerning an individual student, including name, address, email address, telephone number, place of
birth, height and weight of members of athletic teams, major, participation in athletic and student activities, dates of attendance,
degrees, awards and honors, photographs and most recent institution attended, is generally available for release unless a
student specifically requests in writing that this information not be released. This request must be submitted in writing to the
Registrar's Office.

General Education Statement

From the origins of intellectual study to the present, general education has been a key to a fulfilling life of self-knowledge,
self-reflection, critical awareness, and lifelong learning. General education has traditionally focused on oral and written
communication, quantitative reasoning and mathematics, studies in culture and society, scientific reasoning, and aesthetic
appreciation. Today, general education also assists student in their understanding of technology, information literacy, diversity,
and global awareness. In meeting all of these needs, general education provides college students with their best opportunity to
experience the breadth of human knowledge and the ways that knowledge in various disciplines is interrelated.

In the University System of Georgia, general education programs consist of a group of courses known as the Core Curriculum
as well as other courses and co-curricular experiences specific to each institution. The attainment of general education learning
outcomes prepares responsible, reflective citizens who adapt constructively to change. General education programs impart
knowledge, values, skills, and behaviors related to critical thinking and logical problem-solving. General education includes
opportunities for interdisciplinary learning and experiences that increase intellectual curiosity, providing the basis for advanced
study in the variety of fields offered by today's colleges and universities.

AUGUSTA STATE UNIVERSITY HONORS PROGRAM

The ASU Honors Program offers superior students the opportunity to pursue a program of study that leads to recognition as
an Augusta State University Honors Program Graduate. Balancing breadth and depth, the ASU Honors Program includes
sections of core courses specifically designed for able and energetic learners, seminars that cross the boundaries of discipline
and/or culture, a thesis, and the possibility of additional honors work in the major field. The Honors Program is not a separate
degree program, but is designed to augment the course work required for a degree. In most cases, honors courses can be
substituted for required credits. The Honors Program offices are housed in Allgood Hall E122 (706-729-2083).

The ASU Honors Program is affiliated with the National Collegiate Honors Council, the Southern Regional Honors Council, and
the Georgia Honors Council, making available to interested ASU students a variety of honors opportunities nationwide.

Honors Program Classes

Honors classes differ in kind from other classes. They are usually smaller; they involve more interaction with the instructor;
they encourage independent work and collaboration among students and between students and professors. Often professors
in honors courses see themselves more as facilitators than as instructors or lecturers, and, when possible, guide students to
work with primary materials. Honors classes ask students to explore course work more actively and intensively, but students
are nor evaluated on a more demanding grading scale than in other courses.

Recognition

Honors Program Graduates are honored with a certificate at ASU's Honors Night, and their diplomas and transcripts carry the
designation Honors Program Graduate.

Program Requirements

To earn recognition as an ASU Honors Program Graduate, a student accepted into the program must complete the requirements
below and have an overall GPA of 3.3. Should the GPA drop below the required 3.3, the student will be allowed to continue in
the program on probationary status as long as the GPA does not drop below 3.2. Students will not be allowed to begin work
on a thesis proposal (HONR 3999) or thesis (HONR 4000) with a GPA below 3.3.

Freshman/Sophomore Requirement: 5 courses - 15 semester hours
HONR 1010: Honors Introductory Seminar: The Nature of Inquiry

(and)
4 Honors Sections of Core Courses. A section of HONR 1900 can count as one of these four. One of the four must be
multicultural or interdisciplinary.

Junior/Senior Requirement:

HONR 3900: Honors Seminar: Breaking Boundaries - 3 semester hours
One upper division honors elective to be selected from the following:
a second section of HONR 3900,

a departmental honors course (departmentally approved independent study or a regular departmental offering with

an additional honors component), or

an approved honors alternative - 3 semester hours

The HONR 3999-4000 sequence (begun in the junior year and completed
by the end of student's penultimate term):

HONR 3999: Thesis Prospectus- 1 semester hour

HONR 4000: Honors Thesis-2-3 semester hours

HONR 4500: Honors Capstone-1 semester hour
Taken in the senior year, ideally in student's last term.

Eligibility and Admissions

Students may seek entry into the Honors Program by submitting a completed application to the Honors Program Director.
Application forms are available in the Honors Program office or at www.aug.edu/honors_program/Applications.htm.

An Entering Freshman who meets one of the following criteria is invited to join the Honors Program:

(1) Combined SAT scores of 1160 or more and a cumulative high school GPA of 3.2 or better.

(2) Combined SAT scores of 1 1 00 or more and a cumulative high school GPA of 3.5 or better.

Students Already Enrolled at ASU are invited to join the Honors Program if they are not simultaneously in Learning Support,
have completed 9 semester hours of academic work at ASU, and have an overall GPA of 3.4.

Augusta State University Catalog

To be able to complete program requirements without taking several additional courses, students should seek acceptance into
the program and begin taking honors courses early in their careers.

Transfer students who bring in an unadjusted 3.4 GPA on at least 9 semester hours of course work from another institution and
have SAT scores at least equivalent to those required of entering ASU honors freshmen will be eligible to register immediately
for honors courses on a space available basis. They will be eligible to apply for admission to the Honors Program after they
have completed 6 semester hours at ASU with an ASU overall GPA of 3.4. Honors courses taken before a student is formally
admitted to the program may count toward Honors Program Graduation.

Students transferring from another institution's Honors Program are subject to the general transfer policy defined above, but,
once admitted to the Honors Program, will be able to count Honors Program hours completed at their previous institution(s)
toward completing Honors Program Requirements at ASU.

ASU students who are not simultaneously in Learning Support, and who have completed 6 or more semester hours at ASU with
an unadjusted GPA of 3.4 may take Honors Program courses on a space available basis.

National Guard.

Basic Courses, Freshman Year (MS I)

MILS 1011 Foundations of Officership 3

MILS 1021 Basic Leadership 3
Basic Courses, Sophomore Year (MS II)

MILS 2011 Individual Leadership Studies 3

MILS 2021 Leadership and Teamwork 3

Leader's Training Course: The Leader's Training Course is a 28-day "World-Class" leadership development experience
qualifying and motivating college students to enter into the senior Army ROTC program. A student who did not participate in the
basic program who has no more than two years remaining before graduation may qualify for the advanced program through the
summer course given at Fort Knox, KY each year. ASU graduate students are eligible for this program as well: those attending
receive approximately $800 with all meals, lodging, and transportation while attending the summer internship. This program
enables the student to determine if he or she desires a career in the military and qualifies the student for the advanced course
if he or she chooses. No obligation is incurred by attending Leader's Training Course, (MILS 3060, Leader's Training Course
Summer Internship.) Successful completion of this course can qualify the student for a two year scholarship for the remaining
two years.

Compression: While the normal sequence of course work requires two full academic years, it is possible to compress the
course work into less than two years by taking two Military Science courses during the same semester. Compression is not
recommended or desired but will be considered on an individual basis by the Department Chair.

Exemption: Credit for all or part of the basic course may be granted upon presentation of evidence that the student has had
equivalent training. Examples of such training are active military service, Senior Division Navy or Air Force ROTC credit, or 3
years Junior ROTC credit. In every case, exemption credit must be approved by the Department Chair. No academic credit is
given for courses exempted under this program.

Eligibility Requirements for Advanced Course: GPA of 2.00 or higher; completion or credit for completion of the basic
course; meeting Army physical requirements; have no more than two years remaining until graduation: permission of the
Department Chair.

MILITARY SCIENCE Program Features

Admission and Incentives: A student enrolled in basic course classes incurs no obligation to the U .S. Army. Advanced
course students are obligated to serve on subsistence allowance of $350 per month for up to 20 academic months while in
college. Other training opportunities such as Air Assault, Airborne School, Arctic Warfare School, and Cadet Troop Leadership
Training (CTLT) in active units are available on a competitive basis with military subsistence and some paid benefits. A student
in any major/minor field of study is eligible. During the senior year of study (MS IV), the student is offered the option to select
the type of job that he or she desires to perform, the first permanent duty post, and the type of commission, either Regular Army
or Army Reserve, that he or she prefers. The Army at no charge provides all necessary uniforms to the individual. Academic
credit, applicable toward graduation, is granted for all military science course work. Any advanced course credits earned apply
within the general studies minor.

The Scholarship Program: The Army Military Science Scholarship Program awards full-time four, three, and two-year
scholarships to eligible students on a competitive basis. The Department of Military Science accepts applications for two and
three-year scholarships throughout the year. A student does not have to be currently enrolled in Military Science to apply for
two and three-year scholarships. In addition to the National Scholarships, the Department Chair awards multiple four, three,
and two-year scholarships annually to students. Each scholarship pays full tuition, books, lab fees, and other educational
expenses. In addition, all Military Science scholarship students receive $350 and $400 per month for up to 10 months of each
school year the scholarship is in effect. Upon Commissioning as a Second Lieutenant, most agreements call for graduates to
serve three or four years of active duty, or six years in the National Guard or Army Reserves.

The Simultaneous Membership Program: The Simultaneous Membership Program (SMP) allows cadets to be enrolled in
the Military Science Advanced Course and a local Army National Guard or Reserve unit at the same time. The benefits of this
program are that cadets not only receive $250 per academic month from the Military Science Department but also receive
drill pay from their Army National Guard or Army Reserve equivalent to an E-5 pay ($200 per month). Cadets in this program
perform the duties of an officer trainee in their Army National Guard or Army Reserve unit. Some National Guard programs
offer tuition assistance as well. This program provides valuable management experiences which will interest future employers
and prepare cadets for leadership and management positions after graduation.

MUSIC PROGRAM

The Music Department is a professional unit which regards music as both an art and a discipline. It recognizes the artistic values
of creativity, experimentation, and music discrimination as well as the disciplinary attributes of scholarship, independent and
critical thinking, self-motivation, skill development, and dedication. Musical performance is a vital component of all programs of
study. Individualized instruction allows for a nurturing environment reflecting high regard for the musical legacies of the past as
well as preparedness for the future. Graduates in music at Augusta State University have gone on to careers as professional
performers, public school music teachers, band directors, choral directors, and church musicians. ASU graduates have been
accepted for graduate study at some of the most prestigious music schools in the country, including Indiana University, the
University of North Texas and the Eastman School of Music.

The music unit provides intensive musical training on the collegiate level for musicians preparing for professions in music
education, music performance, music management/business, music history, music theory/composition, conducting, and general
studies in music, while serving non-music majors and music minors with a variety of offerings. Public school teachers are
served through the offering of courses which satisfy the requirements for Staff Development Units. Persons of all ages in the
community are encouraged to participate in musical activities through the Conservatory Program at Augusta State University.

All members of the faculty represent professional expertise and diversity of background and experience. Several members
of the faculty hold prominent positions in area professional musical organizations, including the Augusta Choral Society, the
Augusta Opera, the Augusta Symphony Orchestra, and the Harry Jacobs Chamber Music Society.

The music unit is accredited by the National Association of Schools of Music.

Bachelor of Music

Two areas of professional study are available in the Bachelor of Music degree: Performance prepares students for careers as
instrumentalists in symphonic, jazz and popular styles; as singers in opera, theatre, and popular music; and as solo recitalists,
accompanists, private and college teachers, and church musicians. Music Education prepares musicians for careers as music
teachers at all levels in public and private schools.

Bachelor of Arts in Music

The Bachelor of Arts in Music is a degree designed for the emphasis of study in music within a liberal arts curriculum. Students
pursuing the BA in Music typically conduct the majority of their course work outside the field of music and focus on the
interrelationship of music with other academic disciplines.

Augusta State University Catalog

CORE CURRICULUM IN MUSIC (AREAF)

All music majors take a basic core of music courses, studies and activities. This core curriculum educates the musician in the
art form. It strives to improve music literacy, develop artistic sensitivity and provide a broad artistic experience for all music
students. Further, it is designed to raise the quality of music-making in each student regardless of individual professional goals.
The Core Area F in music is required of all music majors in the university.

PLACEMENT EXAMINATIONS UPON ENTRANCE

All entering freshmen music majors must perform a placement audition before a faculty panel in their major performing medium.
These auditions will be scheduled during the week prior to the beginning of classes. Students are expected to demonstrate
background and experience through high school programs or prior collegiate work in band/wind ensemble, orchestra, choir,
and/or private study, church music, musical theater, etc. Students without this background must show extraordinary potential to
be admitted as a music major. Students who are unable to demonstrate these abilities will not be admitted into the music major
and will be advised to seek another major.

Entering freshmen and those who have previous college credit, but are new to the music major, must also take an evaluative
exam in music fundamentals. Students will be placed into appropriate course work based on the results of this exam. This test
can be pre-empted by earning a grade of C or better in MUSI 1201 . See the Music Department website for further information
on these topics.

NURSING PROGRAM

NURSING

Associate of Science in Nursing

This program provides initial preparation for professional nursing practice and for beginning positions in hospitals, clinics, and
nursing homes. It is approved by the Georgia Board of Nursing (Secretary of State, Professional Licensing Boards Division, 237
Coliseum Dr., Macon, GA 31 21 7-3858, 478/207-1300, (www.sos. state. ga.us/plb/m) and accredited by the National League for
Nursing Accrediting Commission (NLNAC Inc., 61 Broadway, New York, NY 10006, 212/363-5555 x153, www.nlnac.org). Upon
successful completion of the program, graduates are awarded the Associate of Science in Nursing Degree and are eligible
to take the National Council Licensure Exam for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN). Approval for admission to the licensing
examination and subsequent Registered Nurse licensure of qualified applicants for the state of Georgia is granted by the
Georgia Board of Nursing.

Applicants to the nursing program should be aware that the state examining board has the right to refuse to grant registered
nurse licenses to any individuals regardless of their educational credentials under circumstances of:

1. Falsification of application for licensure.

2. Conviction of a felony or crime of moral turpitude.

3. Other moral and legal violations specified in the Georgia law.

Students who think they may have an applicable situation should talk with
the department chair early in their program of study.

Pre-Nursing Students

Augusta State University pre-nursing students are those who have declared Nursing as their major and are working on required
core courses before seeking admission to the nursing program. The students will be advised by faculty in the Department of
Nursing. The students must complete, prior to full admission into the nursing program, the following prerequisite courses for
NURS1101:

ENGL 1101 (or Honors ENGL 1113)
MATH 1111 (or its institutional equivalent) or higher
COMS 1010 or 1020 (Human Communication)
PSYC 2103 (Human Growth and Development)

It is also to the student's advantage to have Completed English 1102 or Honors ENGL 1114, POLS 1101, HIST 2111 or 2112,
Anatomy and Physiology I (BIOL 2111), Anatomy and Physiology II (BIOL 2112), and two Physical Education activity courses
prior to enrollment into the nursing sequence. For those students who have not completed one or more of these courses prior
to admission to the nursing program, the uncompleted courses become corequisites with nursing courses. A minimum grade
of C is required in English Composition (ENGL 1101 and 1102), Human Anatomy and Physiology I and II (BIOL 2111 and BIOL
2112), College Algebra (MATH 1111), Human Development (PSYC 2103), and Microbiology (BIOL 2500).

Admission into the Nursing Program

Students must apply for admission into the nursing program. Enrollment is limited to a specific number based on clinical
spaces and resources available. Applicants for admission to the nursing program will be expected to meet the following
requirements:

Must be accepted for admission to Augusta State University.

Must meet with nursing advisor.

Must have completed prerequisite courses for Nursing 1101 at the end of the spring semester of the academic year of
application.

Must provide proof of successful completion of prerequisite courses or proof of current enrollment in prerequisite
courses at the time of application.

Must have an adjusted Nursing Grade Point Average (NGPA) of at least 2.5 at the end of spring semester of the
academic year of application. The NGPA is computed from grades of core courses required for the nursing program,
using the most recently earned grade in the case of a repeated course. To be considered for admission, an applicant
may not have repeated any core course required for the ASU nursing program more than once.

Students with ASU records must have an institutional GPA of 2.0 and an NGPA of 2.5 at the end of spring semester of
the academic year of application.

If a student transfers all of the nursing core courses, the student must meet NGPA requirements of 2.5 and the transfer
GPA must be at least a 2.0.

A student must submit an application by February 1 for admission to the Department of Nursing for the fall semester of
the next academic year.

Augusta State University Catalog

The initial screening of applicants will be based on a ranked score of the adjusted NGPA and a weighted score based on
the semester core courses completed by the end of fall semester of the academic year of application and the grades from
those courses. Points will be given for any nursing core course(s) the student is enrolled in during spring semester. Proof of
enrollment must be submitted by the student. Grades from those courses will be reviewed to determine if grade requirements
have been maintained. Students are admitted into the nursing program upon the recommendation of the nursing faculty and
with the approval of the department chair.

Students Admitted into the Nursing Program

Admitted nursing students who have yet to complete any of the following core courses prior to admission must take the
remaining courses as corequisites along with their nursing courses, adhering to a course sequence established by the nursing
department:

ENGL 1102 (or Honors ENGL 1114)

POLS 1101

HIST 2111 or 2112

BIOL 2111

BIOL 2112

BIOL 2500

Two Physical Education Activity Courses

Students must earn a minimum grade of C in ENGL 1102 or 1114, BIOL 2111, BIOL 2112, and BIOL 2500 to remain in good
standing in the nursing program. Students who do not satisfy a minimum-grade requirement or who withdraw from any
corequisite course will automatically be dismissed from the ASU nursing program.

Similarly, achievement of a grade of C or better in each nursing course is necessary to remain in good standing in the nursing
program. A student who earns less than a C in (or withdraws from) a nursing course at ASU will be dismissed from the
program.

Astudent who has been dismissed from the nursing program for a single violation of the minimum-grade requirements explained
above may apply to the Department of Nursing for readmission to the program the following academic year. The Department
of Nursing will consider each request on a case-by-case basis.

However, nursing students are permitted no more than two attempts to successfully complete the nursing curriculum (program);
attempts include nursing coursework transferred into the University from other nursing programs. Thus a student who transfers
in a grade lower than C in a nursing course and then makes a grade below C in a nursing course at ASU will be dismissed from
the program and will not be considered for readmission.

In order to complete the nursing program, majors are required to pass the Regents Testing Program and to maintain a minimum
adjusted GPAof 2.00 or higher (Institutional GPA).

Nursing students will have additional requirements related to health insurance, liability insurance, CPR certification, physical
examination, immunizations and TB skin test. Some clinical agencies require students to undergo substance screening and
criminal background checks. Information regarding these additional requirements will be provided to students after acceptance.
Students will be assessed additional fees for liability insurance and required tests.

Transfers from Other Nursing Programs

Students who wish to transfer from other nursing programs must apply to ASU and meet regular ASU admission requirements
along with nursing program requirements. In addition, they will be required to submit two letters of reference from the previous
program: one from the Chair/Director of the program and the other from the faculty member of the last clinical nursing course.
For transfer students accepted into the ASU program, placement into the nursing curriculum will be determined by review of
course descriptions and content outlines of nursing courses from the previous institution.

Students who have a recorded grade of less than C in one nursing course attempted in another nursing program will be
required to meet all the regular institutional admission requirements as well as nursing program requirements. In addition,
these students will be required to submit two letters of reference from the previous nursing program: one from the Chair/
Director of the program, and one other letter from the clinical faculty member in the nursing course in which the student
earned the grade of less than C. If the student is accepted into the ASU nursing program, placement into the nursing
curriculum will be determined by review on course descriptions and content outlines of nursing courses successfully
completed (grade of C or better earned) from the previous institution.

Augusta State University Catalog

113

The decision to admit transfer students will be made on a case-by-case basis. Because achievement of a grade of C or better
in each nursing course (including nursing courses transferred into Augusta State University from other nursing programs) is
necessary for successful program completion and because a nursing course may be repeated at most only once, students
who have two or more recorded grades lower than C in nursing courses from their previous nursing program(s) will not be
considered for admission into the ASU Nursing program.

Options for LPNs

Applicants who meet all of the admission criteria for Augusta State University and the ASU Department of Nursing and who
hold a current and valid Practical Nursing License (LPN) in the State of Georgia may qualify for one of three options for entry
into the nursing program.

First Option : Applicants who meet all of the admission criteria for Augusta State University and the ASU Department of Nursing
and who hold a current and valid Practical Nursing License (LPN) in the State of Georgia may apply for admission into the first
nursing course, Foundations of Nursing Practice (NURS 1101), and progress through the nursing curriculum in the standard
manner. This option may be the choice of a new LPN with no experience or someone who has a very narrow scope of practice.
The same requirements for admission noted previously must be fulfilled and a minimum of the prerequisites for NURS 1101
must be completed.

Second Option : Applicants who meet all of the admission criteria for Augusta State University and the progression criteria for
the ASU Department of Nursing and who hold a current and valid Practical Nursing License (LPN) in the State of Georgia may
apply for admission into Nursing 1102. If the student successfully completes Nursing 1102, the student is granted credit for
Nursing 1101. Students must have completed the prerequisite core courses for NURS 1102. This option may appeal to students
who still must complete a number of core courses and/or who want a slower pace than the third (fast-track) option.

Third Option : Applicants who meet all of the admission criteria for Augusta State University and the admission and progression
criteria for the ASU Department of Nursing and who hold a current and valid Practical Nursing License (LPN) in the State
of Georgia may apply for admission into the fast track option. The fast track option is a joint project involving Augusta State
University, the state of Georgia, St. Joseph Hospital, Doctor's Hospital, and University Hospital. This option is made possible
through a grant secured from the Intellectual Capital Partnership Program (ICAPP). The grant supports ASU efforts to increase
its response to the severe shortage of registered nurses in the community and the state of Georgia. Under this option, qualified
LPNs are given the opportunity to complete the ASU Nursing Program in one calendar year. To be considered for the fast track
option, the qualified LPN must (a) be accepted into ASU, (b) have completed all prerequisite core requirements for NURS 2201,
(c) meet the admission criteria for the ASU Department of Nursing and (d) meet with a nursing advisor. Those qualified LPNs
who gain acceptance into the nursing program are given permission by the Department of Nursing to enroll in Nursing 1103
(LPN Transition Course). Students who successfully complete Nursing 1103 are exempted from the first year nursing courses
(NURS 1101 and NURS 1102). The students will advance to the second year curriculum, providing they continue to meet all
other progression criteria. Unsatisfactory completion of NURS 1103 will prevent the student from progressing to the second
year of nursing courses. The student may apply for consideration for entry through the First or Second Options noted above.

LPNs with Transfer Nursing Credit Hours

Applicants who hold a current and valid Practical Nursing License (LPN) in the State of Georgia and who transfer coursework
from other nursing programs into Augusta State University are considered transfer nursing students and must meet all admission
and progression criteria related to transfer nursing students, including transfer GPA requirements (at least 2.0), nursing GPA (at
least 2.5), minimum grade achievement in required courses and nursing courses, and course repeat policy (only one nursing
course, at most, may be repeated).

Who is Eligible to Apply for Admission to the LPN to ADN Articulation Plan?

Applicants who meet the above admission and progression criteria and who are:

1 . LPNs within three years of graduation from their LPN program with a current
unrestricted Practical Nurse license in the state of Georgia are eligible.

2. LPNs beyond three years of graduation from their LPN program with a
current unrestricted Practical Nurse license in the state of Georgia are eligible.
They must have a minimum of 1000 hours of clinical practice (work experience)
approved by the Augusta State University Department of Nursing.

SOCIAL WORK

Bachelor of Social Work

The Bachelor's of Social Work (BSW) program prepares students for entry into professional social work practice and entry
into graduate programs in social work. With a focus on diverse populations, students gain knowledge needed for responsible
entry into professional social work practice including a foundational understanding of humans and cultural diversity, ethics,
practice standards, values and skills. The program has been developed following the standards set by the Council of Social
Work Education (CSWE), a nationwide accrediting body. As of 2005, the program is in the early stages of preparation for
accreditation by CSWE.

CSWE standards require that students apply for admission into the BSW program. Applicants for admission to the program
will be considered by the BSW Program Admissions Committee, which is composed of social work and other social science
faculty.

Applicants for admission to the BSW program will be expected to meet the following requirements:

* Must be accepted for admission to Augusta State University.

* If already an ASU student, must have an ASU institutional GPA of at least 2.5.

* If a transfer student, courses transferred for social work core (that is, courses within the Areas A -F) must meet Social Work
GPA requirements of at least 2.5.

* Satisfactory completion of Areas A-E of the core curriculum.

* Satisfactory completion of SOWK 1101 (Grade of B or better) and SOWK 2202 (grade of S) or equivalent from another
accredited college.

* For admission to the program in the fall semester, the application must be submitted to the Department of Sociology,
Criminal Justice, and Social Work by midterm of the preceding spring semester; for admission in the spring, by midterm of
the fall semester. Students may obtain the form the Department of Sociology, Criminal Justice, and Social Work.

* Submission of one letter of reference from a professional social worker attesting to the student's suitability for the social
work profession.

* Submission of a statement of interest to the BSW Program Admissions Committee explaining his or her reasons for
choosing a career in Social Work.

College of Education

Since its founding in 1783 with the stated purpose of extending educational opportunity throughout the state to its designation
as a state university in 1996, the preparation of quality professional educators has been a part of the mission of Augusta State
University. As the role of the professional educator has changed, so have the educational programs offered by the College
of Education. The courses and related practicum and field experiences utilized in the current teacher preparation programs
focus on standards from state, regional, and national accrediting agencies, best practice, and relevant research. Utilizing
these as a base, preparation programs have been developed which emphasize what beginning teachers should know and
be able to do at the end of their undergraduate studies. All teacher preparation programs in the College of Education require
extensive clinical and field experiences in which teacher apprentices demonstrate the ability to assess, plan, implement, and
evaluate appropriate curriculum strategies with a diverse population of students. These experiences are conducted under
the close supervision of a professional educator in the public schools and a college supervisor. In order to graduate and be
recommended for certification, all students must demonstrate with "real children" the competencies for success as a beginning
teacher in their chosen field of study.

Mission of the College of Education

The College of Education is committed to excellence in the preparation of teachers, counselors, and administrators for service
"with diverse populations in a wide variety of educational settings. The professional educators involved in the various preparation
I programs prepare students for today's classrooms through a collaboratively developed series of courses and appropriate field

experiences while demonstrating outstanding teaching techniques and procedures from relevant research and best practice.

The College of Education is committed to relevant research and other scholarly activities leading to the advancement of
knowledge and good practice in the total learning and schooling process of children. Research is conducted in collaboration
with students, public school practitioners, and colleagues from other colleges to determine those things that work, do not work,
and/or need to be revised in order to maximize the learning opportunities for children.

The College of Education is committed to a service mission which provides leadership in the development and dissemination of
relevant knowledge to address the wide range of challenges faced by students, parents, teachers, counselors, and administrators
in the learning and schooling process.

Conceptual Framework Principles

All teacher preparation programs are shaped and guided by a set of principles which describe what students should know and
be able to demonstrate at the end of their course work and field experiences. Adopted from the work of the Interstate New
Teacher Assessment and Support Consortium (INTASC) which was established to translate the National Board for Professional
Teaching Standards' advanced certification requirements for highly accomplished teachers, into performance-based standards
for beginning teachers, the following principles were adopted by the faculty in the College of Education in the spring of 1996.
Students who complete a teacher preparation program at Augusta State University will:

1 . Understand the central concepts, tools of inquiry, and structures of the discipline(s) and be able to create learning
experiences that make these aspects of subject matter meaningful for learners.

2. Understand how students learn and develop and be able to provide developmentally appropriate learning opportunities
that support their intellectual, social, and personal development.

3. Understand how students differ in their approaches to learning and be able to create instructional opportunities that are
adapted to diverse learners.

4. Understand and use a variety of instructional strategies to encourage the learner's development of critical and creative
thinking, problem solving, and performance skills.

5. Use an understanding of individual and group motivation and behavior to create a learning environment that encourages
positive social interaction, active engagement in learning, and self-motivation.

6. Use knowledge of effective verbal, nonverbal, and information technology techniques to foster active inquiry, collaboration,
and supportive interaction in the classroom.

7. Plan instruction based upon knowledge of subject matter, the learners, the community, and curriculum goals.

8. Understand and use authentic assessment to evaluate and ensure the continuous intellectual, social, and physical
development of the learner.

9. Be a reflective practitioner who continually evaluates the effects of his/her choices and actions on others (students, parents,
and other professionals in the learning community) and actively seeks the opportunity to grow professionally.

10. Foster relationships with school colleagues, parents, and agencies in the larger community to support the learning and
well-being of all students.

Accreditations

The preparation programs offered by the College of Education at Augusta State University are accredited by the Professional
Standards Commission (PSC) of the state of Georgia and the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE).
This accreditation includes the basic and advanced levels of the professional education programs offered at ASU through the
College of Education and the collaborative programs with the Pamplin College of Arts and Sciences.

Admission to Teacher Education

Students may become "an education major" at the time of application to the university or at any point thereafter by selecting one
of the teacher preparation programs offered in the college. Admission to teacher education, however, is a separate function
and requires that the student meet all college, department, and program criteria. The following minimum admission

'^ Augusta State University Catalog

criteria apply to all students seeking admission to Teacher Education. In some fields of study, additional requirements may
apply. Students should check with the appropriate department to determine these special requirements. Foreign Language
students may apply and be admitted after taking 60 semester hours.

1 . Students must earn a minimum Regents' GPA of 2.5 (4.0 scale) on all attempted hours in the system core curriculum in
areas A-F, as required for teacher preparation. Transfer students must have an overall GPA of 2.5, which includes any
undergraduate transfer work and the Regents' GPA for ASU undergraduate work.

2. A grade of C or better in ENGL 1101 and ENGL 1102.

3. A grade of C or better in MATH 1111 or MATH 1101.

4. A grade of C or better in all courses used in Area F of the Core.

5. For students in the early childhood, middle grades, secondary, and P-12 programs, except Health and Physical Education,

a grade of C or better is required on all Core courses utilized in the certification program. For secondary and P-12
students, a cumulative grade point of at least 2.5 (4.0 scale) is required on all upper division courses taken as part of the
major in which the student is seeking certification.

6. Successful performance on all portions of the Regents Examination.

7. Successful performance on the Praxis I at the following scores: Mathematics 176; Reading 176; and Writing 174 or a
composite score of 526.

Students may exempt PRAXIS I with:

SAT - composite of 1000 using verbal and math scores

ACT - composite of 1030 using verbal and quantitative scores

GRE - composite of 43 using English and math scores

8. A record free of criminal, disciplinary, and psychological problems.

9. Verification of physical health appropriate to the requirements of a classroom teacher.

Admission to Teacher Education is a prerequisite for all upper division level professional education courses. Students must be
admitted to Teacher Education in order to enroll in these courses. The Grade Point Average for admission to Teacher Education
is calculated using all course work in the education preparation program attempted by the student.

Advisement

Due to the many, and sometimes changing, requirements for certification, advisement of students is a very important process
in the College of Education. Because of this, students enrolled in a teacher preparation program may not utilize the self-
advisement process. All students in teacher preparation programs should meet with and obtain approval from their advisor in
order to register for courses.

Advisement Prior to Admission to Teacher Education

Students who have not been admitted to Teacher Education are advised by a faculty member in their specialized area. The
Coordinator of Undergraduate Advisement is located in University Hall. This individual is available to assist students with a wide
range of scheduling and planning issues.

Clinical and Professional Field Experiences

The teacher preparation programs at Augusta State University place a strong emphasis on "hands-on" experiences with
professional educators in actual classroom settings. Students should expect a field experience as a part of most courses in the
preparation process. Clinical and field experiences are monitored for each student to insure that they have had the opportunity
to work with diverse populations in a wide variety of educational levels and settings.

Due to the sensitive nature of working with children in the public schools, the Department of Public Safety at Augusta State
University will conduct a background review of all students at two specific points in the preparation program. The first check
will be made as part of enrollment in EDUC 2110 - Investigating Critical and Contemporary Issues in Education (for secondary
and P-12 education majors as part of the admission to Teacher Education process). Only students who present a record free
of criminal and/or disciplinary activity will be allowed to enter a public school classroom. The second check will be made as a
prerequisite to entering the apprenticeship experience. Students who are admitted to the apprenticeship experience must have
a record free of criminal and/or disciplinary activity.

Apprenticeship Experience

The apprenticeship experience is the culminating activity in all of the teacher preparation programs. Successful completion
of this experience is required of all undergraduate students seeking a degree and certification in a teacher preparation field of
study. In this experience, a student spends an entire semester working with a master teacher in a school classroom. At the
end of this semester's experience, students are expected to demonstrate all of the prerequisite skills required of an entry level
teacher. Criteria for admission to the Apprenticeship Semester are:

1 . Completion of all course work in the major area of study.

2. A cumulative grade point average of at least 2.5 on all course work.

3. A cumulative grade point average of at least 3.0 on all upper division course work in the major (ECED. MGED. SPED).
For secondary and P-12 education majors, a cumulative grade point average of at least 2.5 is required on all content

Augusta State University Catalog 1 35

courses utilized as part of the major and a cumulative grade point of at least 3.0 is required on all professional education
courses.

4. Successful completion of the Comprehensive Portfolio.

5. A record free of criminal, disciplinary, and psychological problems.

6. Verification of physical health appropriate to the requirements of a classroom teacher.

7. The written recommendation of the student's academic advisor.

Due to the intensive nature of the experience, students may not enroll in any additional course work during the Apprenticeship
Semester.

Recommendation for Certification

Professional teacher certification is granted by the Professional Standards Commission upon the recommendation of the
College of Education. In order to be eligible for a recommendation for certification in the field of study, a student must:

1 . Complete all of the required course work in field of study.

2. Successfully complete the Apprenticeship Experience.

3. Earn a passing score on the Georgia Certification Exam examination in the appropriate certification field.

4. Complete the application process for certification.

Alternative Certification Programs

Individuals who hold an undergraduate or graduate degree from a regionally accredited institution and wish to become certified
in one of the teacher preparation fields offered in the College of Education should contact the Director of Clinical and Field
Experiences for an evaluation of their academic work. Following this evaluation, the individual will be notified of the courses
and experiences required in order to become eligible for a recommendation of certification. These courses and experience will
vary widely based on the individual's previous academic work. Graduate professional education courses in the early childhood,
middle grades, and secondary programs may not be utilized for initial certification. To be recommended for certification, the
student must:

1 . Earn a grade of C or better on all courses required to meet certification requirements.

2. Earn a passing score on the PRAXIS I examination at the scores: Mathematics 176; Reading 176; and Writing 174
or a composite score of 526. Students may exempt PRAXIS I with: SAT- composite of 1000 using verbal and math
scores; GRE- composite of 1030 using verbal and quantitative scores; ACT- composite of 43 using English and math
scores.

3. Earn cumulative grade point average of at least 2.75 on all previous course work required to meet certification
requirements.

4. Have a record free of criminal, disciplinary, and psychological problems.

5. Have verification of physical health appropriate to the requirements of a classroom teacher.

6. Earn a passing score on the Georgia Certification Exam examination in the appropriate certification field.

7. Complete the application process for certification.

As part of the content evaluation process, students in English from a regionally accredited college or university must take the
Georgia Certification Exam in English. If they do not pass the Georgia Certification Exam, they will submit their sub-test score
report forms, in addition to transcripts from all accredited colleges and universities attended, to the English evaluator, who will
determine the English courses needed to complete content requirements. Students who pass the Georgia Certification Exam
are subject to the same transcript evaluation and may be required to take further English courses. The Director of Clinical
and Field Experiences in the School of Education will be notified of these additional required courses. Passing the Georgia
Certification Exam is not required for the student's admission to teacher education.

As part of the content evaluation process, students in physics and/or mathematics from a regionally accredited college or
university must take the Georgia Certification Exam exam in the previously completed major area (s). If the student passes
the Georgia Certification Exam for the major area(s) at or above the Georgia cut score, he/she does not have to take further
content courses for the area(s). If they do not pass the Georgia Certification Exam for the major area(s), they will submit their
sub-test score report forms, to the Department of Chemistry and Physics and/or the Department of Mathematics and Computer
Science. Department faculty will determine the courses needed to complete content requirements. A list of these courses will
be sent to the Director of Clinical and Field Experiences. If the previously completed degree did not include a major in one of
the two areas of physics or mathematics, the student's transcript will be evaluated to determine content requirements for that
major area. Passing the Georgia Certification Exam is not required for the student's admission to teacher education.

As a part of the content evaluation process for the post-baccalaureate student seeking secondary certification in combination
with a degree in chemistry from a regionally accredited college or university, the student must take the Georgia Certification
Exam exam in chemistry. If the student passes the Georgia Certification Exam at or above the Georgia cut score, he/she does
not have to take further content courses. If the student does not pass the Georgia Certification Exam, he/she must submit the
Georgia Certification Exam sub-test scores to the Department of Chemistry and Physics. Departmental faculty will determine
chemistry courses needed to complete content requirements. A list of these courses will be sent to the Director of Clinical and
Field Experiences. Passing the Georgia Certification Exam is not required for the student's admission to teacher education.

' ^ Augusta State University Catalog

As a part of the content evaluation process for biology students with a degree in biology from a regionally accredited college or
university must take the Georgia Certification Exam exam in biology. If they pass the Georgia Certification Exam at or above
the Georgia cut score, they do not have to take further content courses. If they do not pass the Georgia Certification Exam they
submit their sub-test score report forms to the Biology chair, who will determine the biology courses needed to complete content
requirements. These required courses will be sent to the Director of Clinical and Field Experiences. Passing the Georgia
Certification Exam is not required for the student's admission to teacher education.

The James M. Hull College of Business offers both Bachelor of Business Administration degrees and the Master of Business
Administration degree. Fully accredited byAACSB, the James M. Hull College of Business schedules courses to allow students
to earn their degrees by attending classes during either day or evening hours. Most students earning business degrees are
working in the local community, and many of them are working full-time. The James M. Hull College of Business maintains high
quality programs while meeting the educational needs of its current and potential student body.

Our mission is to prepare students for career success by providing quality baccalaureate and master's level education in
business disciplines.

Our teaching helps students develop professional competence, enhance the quality of their lives, and appreciate the need
for continuous learning and renewal. Our programs are managed to accommodate students who live and work in the greater
Augusta metropolitan area.

We engage in scholarship that strengthens classroom instruction and assists the community and the business professions. We

Augusta State University Catalog 1 47

Admission into the James M. Hull College of Business

In order to provide a meaningful educational experience for our students, we require that students successfully complete
the majority of their general education requirements prior to enrolling in any upper division business courses. The core
curriculum provides general knowledge and skills in language, communication, quantitative techniques and analysis, and
scientific techniques as well as historical, social, political, and economic foundations upon which modern business is based.
This background allows the student to study the specific business disciplines and to place them in appropriate context.

All aspiring business majors entering Augusta State University under the 2006-2007 catalog or after will be designated as
Prebusiness majors. In order to enroll in any upper division business courses, students must have gained admittance into the
James M. Hull College of Business. Upon meeting the prerequisites for admission into the COBA, students will select one of
the following majors: Accounting, Finance, Management, Management Information Systems, or Marketing. The Undergraduate
Advising Office in the James M. Hull College of Business will provide advising services to prebusiness majors as well as to
those in the specific business majors.

The prerequisites for entry into the James M. Hull College of Business are as follows: (1 ) Completion of at least 45 semester
hours of courses; and (2) Completion of the following courses with an overall gpa of 2.5 on these seven courses: ENGL 1 10
1, ENGL 1102, MATH 1111, MATH 1220, ACCT 2101, ECON 2106, and MINF 2201 . Students may retake any of these courses
and only the most recent grade in the course will count toward the minimum required gpa. Once the prerequisites have been
met, the student may apply for admission into the COBA in the Undergraduate Advising Office.

Prerequisites and Course Sequencing

In some cases specific courses are listed as prerequisites. If a course is listed specifically as a prerequisite, it must be
successfully completed prior to enrolling in the course for which it is a prerequisite. The two courses may not be taken
concurrently. A course rotational plan is available in the Undergraduate Advising Office so that business majors may best plan
their courses in order to make the most efficient use of their time in the classroom.

It is important that the students' major courses be taken during both the junior and senior years. Although all major courses are
offered regularly, they may not be offered each semester during both day and evening hours. For this reason, it is important to
learn which courses are required and to note their scheduling patterns. Failure to take a course when it is offered, withdrawing
from, or failing a course will most likely lead to delays in the graduation process.

Because business majors deserve to know which courses are required for their degree program and the order in which they
should enroll in them, the HCOB requires students to be advised each term. Business and prebusiness majors will receive a
Term PIN only after discussing their pending schedules with an advisor in the Undergraduate Advising Office.

Undergraduate Minor Requirements

Business administration minors entering Augusta State University under the 2007-2008 catalog or after will need to meet the
following requirements before enrolling in MGMT 3500, MKTG 3700, or BUSA 4200. Students must complete these seven
courses with an overall GPA of 2.5: ENGL 1101, ENGL 1102, MATH 1111 (or MATH 1101), Third Core Area D math/science
course, ACCT 2101, ECON 2106 (or ECON 2105 or ECON 1810), and MGMT 2106 (or FINC 1410). Students may retake any
of these courses and only the most recent grade in the course will count toward the minimum required GPA.

POLITICAL SCIENCE Master of Public Administration Degree

The Master of Public Administration degree is designed to help prepare an individual for career service in national, state or
local government; in regional planning agencies; and in non-profit or voluntary organizations. It is a two-year program of study
which encourages post-baccalaureate students to utilize their education as a foundation upon which to build organizational and
managerial skills which are highly valued in the public and non-profit sector.

Admissions Procedures and Requirements: The Department of Political Science will provide written materials and answer
inquiries about the Master of Public Administration program, but application must be made through the Augusta State University
Office of Admissions. Information can also be obtained from the program's web site: www.aug.edu/mpa. The application
process begins when a candidate submits the application for admission. Thereafter, the applicant assembles materials for a
portfolio which is opened for him or her in the Admissions Office. The applicant is responsible for having the following materials
placed in the portfolio:

1. Official transcripts from all colleges and universities attended by the applicant. The applicant must have completed
requirements for the bachelor's degree in a regionally accredited college or university. Admission to the program targets
a minimum grade average equivalent to 2.5 on a 4.0 scale.

2. Official scores on the Graduate Record Examination. The GRE scores must be recent (applicant having taken the
Graduate Record Examination within the last five years).

3. Two letters of recommendation. The letters of recommendation should come from persons familiar with the applicant's
academic and/or employment experience.

4. A current resume.

5. Medical History Form (available from Admissions Office)

When the portfolio is completed, the applicant's record will be sent to the MPA Director for review. The following formula will
be applied:

GRE verbal score + (GRE analytical score x 100) + GRE quantitative score + (GPA x 100)

For regular admission, a student is expected to achieve a composite score of 1500 or higher. Probationary admission may be
granted for students scoring 1400 - 1499. Probationary admission is not automatic. The Admissions Committee examines the
applicant's undergraduate transcripts, resume, and letters of recommendation in making its determination.

Conditions for Provisional Admission: Those applicants who have at least a 3.0 undergraduate grade average and are
awaiting their scores on the Graduate Record Examination may enter into a contract with the MPA program which states that
they are provisionally accepted for one semester while the portfolio is completed. Provisionally accepted students may take
one course. If the student's completed application is subsequently accepted after the GRE scores are known and course is
successfully completed, the course will count toward his or her degree requirements.

Conditions for Probationary Admission: The MPA Admissions Committee has the option of admitting a student on a
probationary basis with a set of specified conditions to be met before the student is considered to be regularly accepted.
These conditions are determined on a case-by-case basis. Conditions may include, but are not limited to. provisions that the
student achieve, at a minimum, a B on each of the first three core courses taken in the MPA Program, or that the student take
an undergraduate course in quantitative methods as a pre-requisite in order to remedy a deficiency in his or her performance
on the quantitative subtest of the Graduate Record Examination. In any case, the conditions must be met within the first two
semesters of course work within the MPA program in order for the student's academic status to change from probationary to
regular.

Admissions Appeals: Students who are not accepted for admission to the Master of Public Administration program and who
believe that there are extenuating circumstances which affect their eligibility may request in writing an appeal of the decision of
the MPA Admissions Committee. This appeal is sent to the Director of the MPA Program, who will forward it to the Admissions
Committee. The committee makes its decision and conveys it in writing to the MPA Program Director, who contacts the applicant
by letter to inform him or her of the decision.

Augusta State University Catalog ^ 57

Academic and Professional Standards: An average of B is required for all courses attempted in the program. There is a
time limit for completion of the degree. Only the course work earned within the six calendar years before the final completion
of degree requirements will apply toward graduation.

The program of study is 36 semester credit hours. Of the 36 hours, 25 hours (nine courses) constitute the core requirements.
The remaining hours are selected from among the elective offerings, culminating in a capstone course of 2 semester hours.

Prerequisites : An applicant's academic transcript must list a course in American Government. If it does not, the student must
either complete the POLS 1101 course (American Government) offered by Augusta State University, complete a comparable
course at another institution, or take the CLEP test in American Government and achieve a score of at least 46.

Transfer Credit: No more than nine semester credit hours shall be transferred from another institution for the purpose of
earning credits for the Master of Public Administration degree. The institution from which the credits are transferred must be
an accredited one, and each transfer course is subject to review in order to determine its equivalency in the Augusta State
University MPA Program.

Internship: An internship experience is required by the MPA program for those students who lack a significant professional
work background. Students who need an internship will be matched with an appropriate organization. This internship may be
the basis for the student's capstone project.

Capstone Project: The purpose of the capstone project is to have the student demonstrate his or her ability to apply the
knowledge acquired in the two years of study to an actual work setting and to utilize skills of observation and analysis as
demonstrated in a formal research paper.

PSYCHOLOGY

Master of Science Degree in Psychology

The graduate program in psychology at Augusta State University provides intensive master's degree level education and
training, with most students selecting an applied track which emphasizes clinical and counseling psychology. The program can
also provide preparation for further graduate education or, for a limited number of students, the opportunity to pursue specific
interests in experimental psychology.

Unlike some other graduate programs at the university, the M.S. program in psychology is designed as a full-time, day-time
and year-round program. Most students complete their degree requirements in two years or less, earning credits in advanced
foundation courses (e.g., learning, social, personality, statistics), applied course work (e.g., psychometry, counseling/therapy,
psychopathology) and supervised internship experience in treatment facilities or research laboratories. The department
operates a psychometric and clinical training facility, and an animal and human research laboratory. Internship opportunities
are available at many local agencies including a Veterans Administration Medical Center, a regional state psychiatric hospital,
the Medical College of Georgia, a regional state school and hospital for the developmental^ disabled, a regional state training
center for juvenile offenders, and the Dwight David Eisenhower Army Medical Center at Fort Gordon.

The Department and its faculty members maintain active relationships with the discipline's various governing and professional
bodies, such as the American Psychological Association (APA), American Psychological Society (APS), Council of Graduate
Departments of Psychology (COGDOP), Council of Applied Master's Programs in Psychology (CAMPP), and North American
Association of Master's in Psychology (NAMP).

Admission Procedures and Requirements

Persons interested in taking graduate courses in psychology should be processed by the Department of Psychology, not the
Augusta State University Office of Admissions. The formal deadline for submitting applications to the M.S. program is set by
the institution. However, the limited number of positions for each fall entering class often results in the program filling sooner
than that deadline. It is therefore recommended that applications for admission be made at least five months prior to the
anticipated admission date. Admission to the program in semesters other than fall is possible if openings exist, but is rarely
permitted given the sequencing of some courses. A final decision regarding acceptance into the graduate program can be
made only upon receipt of official GRE scores, official transcripts, letters of reference, and a personal statement of educational
and professional goals. Under exceptional circumstances students may be granted permission to enroll in certain courses in
a post-baccalaureate status while the application is being processed.

Inquiries are encouraged especially from members of minority groups and older persons, from human service personnel
employed by local community agencies, and from persons possessing otherwise adequate credentials but who may have
a deficit in a single credential such as quantitative GRE scores or freshman grade point average, or who may lack specific
undergraduate preparation in psychology. In such cases, the department may use other appropriate information in the admission
decision, and may require satisfactory remediation of any academic deficits prior to full acceptance.

The minimum admission requirements are:

1 . Completed requirements for the bachelor's degree in a regionally accredited college/university.

2. A grade point average equivalent to 2.5 on a 4.0 scale.

3. A score of 400 on each of the verbal, quantitative and analytical portions of the Graduate Record Examination taken
within the past five years, with at least two scores being 450, or higher. If the GRE was taken after 10/01/02, the
analytical score must be 3.5 or higher, one of the remaining scores must be 400 or better, and one score must reach
450 or better.

4. Satisfactory letters of recommendation and transcripts.

5. A 150-200 word statement regarding personal and professional goals with respect to graduate study at Augusta
State University.

6. For students whose native language is other than English, the examination scores of the Test of English as a Foreign
Language (TOEFL). An oral expression and comprehension evaluation may also be required.

7. For foreign students, a financial aid form provided by the Office of Admissions.

Successful applicants for regular graduate status will, at a minimum, have satisfactorily completed undergraduate courses
in general psychology, abnormal psychology, quantitative methods for the social or behavioral sciences, and experimental
psychology. Courses in learning, physiological psychology, and tests and measurement are strongly recommended and may
serve as prerequisites for certain graduate courses.

After all required application information has been received, the Psychology Graduate Admissions Committee will make an
admission decision, subject to approval by the Department Chair; and the Director of Graduate Studies in Psychology will
inform the applicant of this decision.

'0 Augusta State University Catalog

Applicants who have acceptable credentials but who are deficient in one area, such as Verbal GRE Scores or grade point
average, may be offered provisional admission. Provisional graduate students must petition for regular graduate status after
satisfactory completion of at least six and not more than nine hours of admissible graduate work.

Financial Aid and Graduate Assistantships

Students are expected to arrange their own means of paying tuition and other fees. Persons requiring financial assistance
should first contact the Office of Financial Aid to inquire about funding alternatives, including the Work Study Program and
low-interest loans. The department offers a limited number of graduate assistantships which reduce tuition and provide a
monthly income in return for services to the university. These are assigned on a competitive basis each semester from among
those students applying or recommended by the faculty. The award of an assistantship one semester is not a guarantee
of future awards, and the university and department reserve the right to modify the number and conditions of awards as
necessary. Graduate assistants are required to carry an academic load of at least nine semester hours with no more than three
hours of internship.

Degree Requirements

The Master of Science in Psychology offers three tracks: The clinical/counseling track, the general experimental track and the
applied experimental track. Students who seek to pursue the doctoral degree are advised to complete the general experimental
track. Those individuals who wish to work in more applied settings after graduation, such as a medical research environment.
technical college, or community agencies are advised to choose the applied experimental track.

General Experimental Track

The general experimental track requires the satisfactory completion of a minimum of 45 semester hours of graduate work
including Professional and Ethical Foundations (PSYC 6190), Research Methods I and II (PSYC 6121 and 6122), six semesters
of Research Practicum (PSYC 6930), and six semester hours of Thesis Research (PSYC 6990). Beyond this, an individualized
plan of study, as approved by the student's academic advisor, is used to establish specific course requirements. Students will
be given formal permission by the faculty to pursue a thesis or internship at the end of the spring of their first year of graduate
studies. The faculty will review the student's professional goals, academic performance and professional and ethical behavior
to determine whether the student will be in the thesis or internship track. For this track, at least 36 or 45 total hours required
must be earned in the major field; and no more than six of the 45 total hours may be earned in PSYC 6990.

Applied Experimental Track

The applied experimental track requires the satisfactory completion of a minimum of 45 semester hours of graduate work
including Professional and Ethical Foundations (PSYC 6190), Research Methods I and II (PSYC 6121 and 6122). six semesters
of Research Practicum (PSYC 6930), Psychological Assessment I (PSYC 6126), and six semester hours of Internship (PSYC
6940, 6970 and/or 6980). Beyond this, an individualized plan of study, as approved by the student's academic advisor, is
used to establish specific course requirements. Students will be given formal permission by the faculty to pursue a thesis
or internship at the end of the spring semester of their first year of graduate studies. The faculty will review the students
professional goals, academic performance, and professional and ethical behavior to determine whether the student will be in
the thesis or internship track. For this track, at least 36 of the 45 total hours required must be earned in the major field: and no
more than six of the 45 total hours may be earned in PSYC 6940, 6970, and/or 6980.

Clinical/Counseling Track

The clinical/counseling track offers a thesis or a non-thesis (internship) option. The plan of study, as approved by the student's
Academic Advisor, is used to determine whether the student will be in the thesis or internship track. The non-thesis option
requires the satisfactory completion of a minimum of 45 semester hours of graduate course as detailed below. Students who
pursue the non-thesis option will need to complete at least 4 hours of PSYC 6960 Clinical Internship (300 clock hours) in order
to fulfill the Georgia Licensed Professional Counselor requirement. All clinical/counseling students are strongly encouraged
to complete 6 hours of PSYC 6960 Clinical Internship and to carefully study the license requirements in the states where they
may be employed in the future. For this track, at least 36 of the 45 total hours required must be earned in the major field; and
no more than six of the 45 hours may be earned in PYSC 6940, 6960, 6970, 6980, and/or 6990.

The M.S. program is scheduled on a year-round basis; students attend the summer term as full-time students.

Transfer of credit from another institution is contingent upon a positive recommendation by the student's Academic Advisor and
approval by the Department Chair, and may not exceed nine semester hours. The plan of study may also not include more
than nine semester hours taken in academic units other than the Department of Psychology. Only that course work completed
within the six calendar years prior to completion of degree requirements will apply toward graduation.

Admission to candidacy for the Master of Science degree may occur no earlier than the completion of 15 semester hours of
graduate work. To be admitted to candidacy, the student must additionally be classified as a regular graduate student, earn (and
maintain) the endorsement of three graduate faculty sponsors, successfully complete Professional and Ethical Foundations
(PSYC 6190) (including the general psychology component), successfully complete the Research Methods sequence (PSYC
6121 and 6122), and achieve a GPAof at least 3.00 in all graduate course work.

Comprehensive written and oral examinations are an integral part of the program of study and are designed to measure
the student's knowledge of and competency in the field of psychology, to include conceptual, language, interpersonal and
professional competencies commensurate with an advanced degree. The admissibility of candidates to the comprehensive
examination will be based on the following criteria: possession of a currently viable admission to candidacy, a GPA of 3.0,
successful completion of 33 semester hours of the plan of study, and official enrollment at Augusta State University in the
semester during which the candidate will be examined.

Students are expected to maintain a GPA of at least 3.00 across all courses attempted in the M.S. degree program. Dismissal
is probable for the student whose GPA shows a deficit of greater than six quality points at any time in the program. Work with
a grade of U may be repeated once if the student's Academic Advisory Committee so recommends. Dismissal may also occur
when students in post baccalaureate or provisional status have deficient academic records or when students fail to be admitted
to candidacy in a timely manner.

Please Note: The Policy Manual for the M.S. Program in Psychology may be obtained from the department, and should be
consulted for a more thorough and sometimes more current description of the program and its regulations.

Typical Plan of Study

Course sequences vary somewhat among students depending on a number of factors. The following plan of study may be
considered representative, but by no means universal, of a clinically focused student completing the program with 45 semester
hours in five consecutive semesters. Many students develop plans of study with more than the minimum number of hours.

College of Education

GRADUATE PROGRAMS

OVERVIEW

The College of Education, in collaboration with the Pamplin College of Arts and Sciences, offers graduate programs leading to
the Master of Education degree and the Education Specialist degree.

Graduate degrees in the College of Education are designed to build on previous course work and clinical and field experiences.
Utilizing experience gained through the undergraduate preparation process and teaching experience, these degrees have
very specialized objectives and expectations. For example, the Master of Education degree, utilizing previous educational
preparation, prepares individuals to become "master teachers," counselors, or administrators in the chosen field of preparation.
The programs are designed to extend and enrich the knowledge base, understandings, and pedagogical repertoire of the
student by providing the opportunity for utilizing critical thinking and analytical abilities.

The Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) degree is designed for individuals who have completed a bachelor's degree in a field
outside of education with specialization in a closely related area to an educational certification offered at ASU and are seeking
intial teaching certification at the graduate level.

The Education Specialist degree provides the experiences necessary for teachers, counselors, and education leaders to
develop the knowledge, skills, and dispositions necessary to transcend the status quo and become change agents from the
platform of the PreK-12 classroom.

MASTERS OF EDUCATION PROGRAMS

Counselor Education

The Counselor Education Master's Degree graduate program at Augusta State University prepares students for professional
careers as either school guidance counselors or counselors in community mental health or private practice settings. Early
in the program students are assisted, as needed, in determining which specialty area will most adequately match with their
career goals. Most courses require outside field experiences, coordinated by the faculty, to help students gain a sense of both
professions early in their professional training. Both the School Counseling and Community Counseling concentration areas
are accredited by the Council for the Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP), and the
program applied for CACREP accreditation in 2005. Although our student body is already quite diverse, we are committed to
increasing the numbers of minority students in our program to be more representative of the surrounding community.

The Counselor Education program is designed to meet the needs of both traditional and non-traditional students. The majority
of courses are offered during evening hours to accommodate those persons who may already be working as school teachers
or in other professional career areas. It is not required, however, that applicants have a teaching certificate or work experience
for acceptance into the program, (although those with at least some work experience will be considered more highly). Both
the School Counseling and the Community Counseling concentration areas also require intensive practicum and internship
experiences near the end of the course of study. For future school counselors, the practicum and internship placements are
completed in school settings at the elementary or secondary levels. For those specializing in community counseling, internships
are held at local hospitals, mental health centers, and other community agencies.

All of the full-time Counselor Education faculty hold doctoral degrees and have professional experience in their particular subject
areas. Several hold professional licensure (LPC) and certifications from the National Board of Certified Counselors. They are
also actively involved in the counseling profession, many holding membership and/or offices in the American Counseling
Association (ACA), the Association for Counselor Education and Supervision (ACES), Georgia School Counselor Association
(GSCA), Licensed Professional Counselors of Georgia (LPCG), and other state organizations. Faculty members frequently
present at regional and national conferences, quite often in collaboration with counseling students, reporting on descriptive or
experimental research which has been conducted during the program courses.

Admissions Requirements

Persons interested in taking courses in Counselor Education must apply through the Office of the Dean. College of Education.
not through the Augusta State University Office of Admissions. The formal deadline for submitting applications is as follows:
for fall admission - May 1 5; for spring admission - October 1 5; for summer admission - March 15. Because the program faculty
accept only a limited number of applicants each semester, it is often those students who apply early that are accepted. It is
recommended that students should apply at least four months prior to the semester they desire to start. Students may currently
start the program at the beginning of any semester cycle. Only those baccalaureate students who have submitted all their
application materials, have been interviewed, and have been officially accepted into the program may register for courses.
Post-graduate students interested in taking courses may do so only with permission of the faculty.

The minimum admission requirements are:

1 . Completed requirements for a bachelor's degree in a regionally accredited college/university

2. 2.5 or better undergraduate GPA

3. A score of at least 800 on the Graduate Record Exam (GRE), with a minimum of 400 on the Verbal portion OR a minimum

score of 35 on the Miller's Analogy Test (MAT). Tests must have been taken within the last 5 years.

4. A cleared or expunged background check for all applicants

5. Three satisfactory letters of recommendation

6. An autobiographical essay

7. Successful personal interview

Interested persons should contact the College of Education Dean's Office for an application and more detailed list of Counselor
Education admissions requirements. Once all of the paper requirements are received by the Dean's office, applicants will be
contacted to set up an interview. Once the interview is completed, the Counselor Education Admissions Committee will make
an admission decision, subject to the approval of the Dean. The Program Coordinator will then inform the applicant of this
decision.

Students are evaluated by the faculty with a rubric which considers all of the above criteria. Students who gain admission are
those who, based on the information given and the course of the interview, display the highest capacity for rigorous academic
achievement and personal self-examination, capacity to develop positive and meaningful interpersonal relationships with
others, potential for personal growth, and receptivity to supervision.

SPECIAL EDUCATION

Master of Education
in Special Education

The M.Ed, in Special Education, with concentrations in General Curriculum and Adapted Curriculum, is offered to persons
with Bachelor's degrees in all areas of education as well as to persons with Bachelor's degrees in areas other than education.
Persons with degrees in education and current teacher certification in Georgia do not need pre-requisite courses. Persons with
degrees in education without current Georgia teacher certification may need some prerequisite courses as determined by a
program advisor. Application for admission is made directly to the Office of Graduate Admissions in the College of Education.

Persons with degrees in areas other than education must do the following prior to admission to the graduate program:
Meet with an Advisor, as assigned by the program
Post a passing score on GACE I
Complete two prerequisite courses with a grade of B or better

Pre-requisite courses include:

SPED 4002 Instructional Strategies for Teaching Students with Disabilities in General Education Settings
SPED Literacy Course (choose from SPED 4007, SPED 6007, SPED 4008, or SPED 6008)

All special education courses, graduate and undergraduate, contain a 20- to 30-hour lab component (in addition to classroom
time) that provides the student with a public school experience during the semester. The required lab time should be considered
when planning the course schedule. Depending upon the course requirements and with permission of the instructor, students
who are employed as teachers or paraprofessionals in special education classrooms, may be able to complete some of their
lab hours in their school. Prior to the first field experience, students who are not employed by a school district must
satisfactorily pass a criminal background check (conducted by ASU) All field placements must be approved by the
instructor prior to the student's first visit to the school.

Students must pass GACE I prior to applying for Graduate Admission. It is recommended that it be taken during the first semester
of matriculation. The Graduate Records Examination or the Miller Analogies Test , one of which is required for admission to
the graduate program, should be taken during the second semester of matriculation. This prevents an unnecessary delay in
applying to Graduate Admissions while completing the final pre-requisite courses.

All special education courses are "by permission only." Students must be advised by a member of the special education
graduate faculty each semester and given permission to register.

MASTER OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION PROGRAM

The objective of the Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree program is to provide advanced business education,
beyond the baccalaureate level, to prepare students to assume responsible management and professional positions in private
and public organizations. The curriculum has been designed to provide breadth of exposure to business administration
disciplines rather than specialization in any single discipline. In addition to the regular MBA curriculum, foundation courses have
been developed to accommodate students whose previous academic degrees are not in the field of business administration.
To accommodate students who also have part-time or full-time careers, all MBA courses currently are taught in the evening.

Students who enter the MBA program with a bachelor of business administration degree and have undergraduate grades of
C or better in foundation courses usually will be able to complete the MBA program with 33 semester hours (11 courses) of
required course work plus three semester hours (one course) of elective. Students who must take some or all of the foundation
courses may require up to 54 semester hours of course work, including the foundation courses. Specific course requirements
for each student are determined by the student's previous academic experiences and are approved by the Director of Graduate
Studies.

Up to nine semester hours (three courses) of required or elective MBA course work, with grades of B or higher, may be
transferred from other accredited graduate programs with approval of the Director. Basic computer literacy (word processing,
spreadsheet software) is required of all entering MBA graduate students and may be acquired through formal academic courses,
on-the-job experience, or self study.

Only students enrolled in the MBA program may register for or attend MBA graduate courses.

Application Requirements

Items to be submitted by Master of Business Administration (MBA) applicants are:

1. Application for Graduate Study.

2. Fee of $30.00, check or money order.

3. One official transcript from each baccalaureate program previously attended at a regionally accredited college or
university.

4. Official scores on the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT).

Admission Criteria for the MBA Program

Admission to the MBA program is based upon an applicant's successful completion of at least a baccalaureate degree from a
regionally-accredited college or university and a combination of a satisfactory undergraduate grade point average (GPA) and
an acceptable score on the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) administered by the Educational Testing Service.
These two scores are combined into an eligibility index, defined as: (200 x GPA + GMAT score). An eligibility index is used
widely by business schools in the United States.

The requirement for admission as a regular MBA student is an eligibility index of 1,000 (using the overall undergraduate GPA
from all undergraduate programs) or 1 ,050 (using the undergraduate GPA from the last 60 semester hours or 90 quarter hours
of the most-recently-completed baccalaureate degree program). In either case, the absolute minimum acceptable GMAT score
is 450.

Graduate Admissions Appeals

Students who are not accepted for regular admission to the graduate program in business administration and who believe that
there are extenuating circumstances that affect their eligibility may write a letter of appeal to the Director of Graduate Studies,
James M. Hull College of Business. The appeal will be heard by the Graduate Admissions Appeals Committee which consists
of representative faculty of the James M. Hull College of Business.

Academic Standing

A GPA of at least 3.00 is required for graduation and to remain in good academic standing in the MBA program. In addition,
degree candidates may not have earned more than six semester hours (two courses) in 6000-level MBA required and elective
courses with a grade of C. Grades below C will not be accepted for MBA course work. If a course is repeated, only the most
recent grade earned will be included in the institutional GPA calculation used to determine an MBA student's academic status
and satisfaction of graduation requirements.

Academic Probation/Suspension

At the end of any academic term in which an MBA student's institutional GPA falls below 3.00, the student will be placed on
academic probation. A student on academic probation 1 ) may not enroll for more than two MBA required or elective courses per
term and 2) must raise the institutional GPA to at least 3.00 within the next nine semesters hours (three courses) of graduate
course work to remain in the MBA program. An MBA student on academic probation who does not raise the institutional GPA

' "^ Augusta State University Catalog

to at least 3.00 within nine semester hours may not continue in the MBA program or register for additional MBA courses for a
period of at least one calendar year. The student may not transfer credit for MBA courses from any other institution while on
academic probation at Augusta State University.

Reinstatement

A student who wishes to apply for reinstatement after having been dismissed must write a letter to the MBA program director
requesting reinstatement as an MBA student. The letter should describe the student's rationale and approach for improving
academic performance if reinstated.

If accepted for reinstatement, the returning student may enroll for a maximum of two MBA required or elective courses per term
until the student's institutional GPA has reached at least 3.00. If the reinstated student has not achieved an institutional GPA
of at least 3.00 within the first nine semester hours (three courses) of 6000-level MBA course work following reinstatement, the
student will not be eligible to continue in the MBA program.

Upon being dismissed for the second time, a student would not be eligible to reapply for readmission to the MBA program for
a period of at least six calendar years. At that time, the student would become a new applicant and would have to meet all
admission requirements in effect at the time. No credit for any previous MBA course work at ASU and no transfer credit from
other programs would be granted and the student would have to begin the MBA program as a "new" MBA student.

Time Limitation

All requirements for the MBA degree must be completed within six consecutive years, beginning with the student's enrollment
in the first 6000-level course.

GMAT

The Graduate Management Admission Test is a standardized examination administered by the Educational Testing Service.
The test is a computer-adaptive test and is offered throughout the year at computer-based testing centers throughout the
country. The test does not attempt to measure specific knowledge obtained in college course work or achievement in any
particular subject area. It does cover basic mathematical skills and the ability to reason quantitatively as well as reading
comprehension and writing ability. Persons who take the test should request that their scores be reported to the James M. Hull
College of Business at Augusta State University. The test must be taken and scores must be reported before the deadline for
applications for a particular semester. The application deadline for each semester may be obtained from the graduate office in
the James M. Hull College of Business.

Applications to take the GMAT and more detailed information may be obtained from the graduate studies office in the College
or by writing to: Pearson VUE, Attention: GMAT Program, 5601 Green Valley Drive, Suite 220, Bloomington, MN 55437. You
may schedule your test appointment online at www.mba.com.
