This catalog is intended primarily to guide Augusta State University students
through their chosen academic programs. Although the university takes pride in
a good student advising system, the individual student bears the main responsibility
for his or her program, and this catalog should be the basic source of information.
It is hoped that prospective students, parents, and high school counselors also will
find the information useful as well.

Augusta State University is an equal educational opportunity institution in that no
person shall, on the grounds of race, color, sex, creed, national origin, or handicap,
be excluded from participation in or be otherwise subjected to discrimination by any
educational program, activity, or facility. This is in compliance with Title VI of the
Civil Rights Act of 1964. An affirmative action, equal opportunity institution.

The statements set forth in this catalog are for informational purposes only and
should not be construed as the basis of a contract between a student and this
institution.

While the provisions of this catalog will ordinarily be applied as stated, Augusta
State University reserves the right to change any provision listed in this catalog,
including but not limited to academic requirements for graduation, without actual
notice to individual students. Every effort will be made to keep students advised of
any such changes. Information on changes will be available in the Office of the
Registrar. It is especially important that all students realize their individual
responsibility to keep apprised of current graduation requirements for their
particular degree programs.

As part on an on-going effort to make this a better catalog -- accurate, up-to-date,
and well organized - all Augusta State University students, faculty, and staff are
encouraged to submit editorial suggestions for improvement. Such suggestions,
dealing with inaccuracies, clarity, organization and presentation of information may
be submitted at any time to:

SERVING GEORGIA, THE NATION, AND YOU
An Introduction to 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, which remained on the
Academy campus until 1957, when it moved to its new campus on "The Hill". In
1 958 it became a unit of the University System of Georgia under the name of
Augusta College. The name was changed again in 1996 to Augusta State
University. The university has added an exceptionally broad range of graduate
and undergraduate programs to serve students and the community. Through all
these years, the university has been known for its dedication 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:

Augusta State University is committed to excellence in
teaching, advancement of knowledge, and enrichment of the
community in a climate which fosters humane values and a
life-long love of learning.

Note : In August 1998, Augusta State University will officially change from

the quarter calendar to the semester calendar. This will be a time of
transition for students and campus personnel alike. The fall semester will
be from August through December and the spring semester will be from
January through May. The administration is working to see that this
transition is not harmful to any student's program.

Academic Programs at Augusta State University

In fulfilling its mission, Augusta State University offers an exceptionally wide
range of programs to serve the spectrum of interests of regional, national, and
international students. The university maintains its high standards for these
programs through a system of continuing self-study and regular consultation with
professional associations. As a result, the university has maintained a fine
reputation for sending its graduates on to competitive graduate schools and
distinguished careers in business and the professions.

Accreditations

Augusta State University is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the
Southern Association of Colleges and Schools to award Associate's, Bachelor's,
Master's and Specialist's degrees. All teacher education degree programs for
elementary, special, secondary, and P-12 teachers, administrators, counselors,

Introduction to Augusta State University 1

and supervisors, are approved by the Georgia Professional Standards Commission
and accredited by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education
(NCATE). The nursing program is accredited by the National League for Nursing
and approved by the Georgia Board of Nursing. The music programs are ac-
credited by the National Association of Schools of Music.

NO SMOKING POLICY

Because Augusta State University cares about the health and safety of its students,
faculty, staff, and the public, smoking is NOT permitted inside or near entrances of
any building on campus.

Cultural and Entertainment Programs

A wide spectrum of cultural and entertainment programs is provided for
students through the dance-concert series, film series, and Lyceum series.
Outstanding members of the creative and performing arts are brought to campus
to enrich the educational, personal, social, and cultural components of the student
life. These programs are funded by Student Activity fees.

Interdisciplinary Lecture Series: Each spring Augusta State University
undertakes an inter-disciplinary educational program called the Cullum Lecture
Series. Students and faculty from across the campus bring their diverse interests
and skills to bear on one subject. The series often deals with other cultures,
focusing on a specific country through visiting scholars, films, theatrical
productions, and art exhibits. Occasionally, the program's format is modified to
include a study of our own culture and society. Some students sign up for special
courses offered by their major department. Others choose to come only for the
exhibitions and special lectures. This program has been identified by the American
Association of State Colleges and Universities as one of the country's ten most
innovative programs. It is made possible by a grant from the Cullum Foundation of
Augusta and is open to the community.

Lyceum Series: Historically, the Lyceum was the place in Athens, Greece,
where Aristotle taught and interacted with his students. The Lyceum was the scene
of intellectual excitement and stimulation. The teacher, Aristotle, was the finest in
the ancient world; the curriculum was the sum total of human knowledge. The
Augusta State University Lyceum Committee was formed with the spirit of the
ancient Lyceum in mind. The committee presents to the Augusta State University
community the finest in stimulating and entertaining lectures, debates, and plays.
Every year the committee spends long months planning and preparing its presen-
tation to the university community. The result has been a series of uniformly high
quality programs funded by Student Activity fees.

Film Series: Each quarter from September through May the university
presents up to ten films of outstanding international reputation. Most have been
unavailable in local theaters or rental outlets. The series thus provides film students
and film lovers with an invaluable opportunity to study the art of cinema.

Athletics

Augusta State University is affiliated with the National Collegiate Athletic
Association (NCAA Division II) and is a member of the Peach Belt Athletic
Conference. Augusta State University supports men's teams in baseball,
basketball, cross country, golf (Division I), soccer, and tennis. The university
supports women's teams in volleyball, basketball, softball, tennis, and

2 Introduction to Augusta State University

cross-country. An intramural sports program is offered throughout the school year
for both men and women, with a variety of sports being offered each quarter.

Study Abroad

The University System of Georgia provides a multitude of opportunities to study
abroad while earning academic credit toward degree requirements at your home
campus. Each summer, individual institutions in the University System offer
programs in many specific countries around the world. There are also quarter,
semester and academic year opportunities in several countries in Western Europe.

Studying abroad enables students to increase knowledge of a foreign lan-
guage, provides the opportunity to gain insights into and appreciation for the
cultures and institutions of other peoples, facilitates the development of relevant
career skills, and contributes to personal maturity, a sense of independence,
self-knowledge, and confidence.

These programs are open to all undergraduate students with a minimum
cumulative GPA of 2.5; however, certain programs may require a higher GPA and
completion of prerequisites. Graduate students are required to have a 3.0 GPA.
Augusta State University students who are eligible for financial aid may use that aid
toward these programs. For further information, contact Dr. J. Sandarg, Department

Cooperative Education: Work in Your Field of Study

Cooperative Education is an academic program which provides opportunities for
students to gain work experience that is related to their academic majors. The
structured program is designed to make a student's educational program more
meaningful by integrating classroom theory with supervised practical work ex-
perience in business, industry, government, educational, and service organizations.
These are paid positions.

Students are eligible for the Cooperative Education program if they are U.S.
citizens, have at least a 2.5 GPA and 30 credit hours or more, and are taking 10 or

Counseling

The Counseling and Testing Center strives to promote services for personal
growth and development. The Center can help you choose an appropriate
university major, develop effective study and test-taking skills, and solve personal,
academic, or vocational problems. Other Counseling and Testing Center services
include peer support for the mature returning student and individual and group
counseling.

One prominent service of the Center is career exploration and development.
Various tests are available to help you select a major, choose a career, evaluate
study habits and attitudes, and assess personality and values. Computer-assisted
career assessment and information packages are also on hand to help you identify
special attitudes, abilities, and areas of interest.

A complete library of information on a wide range of career-related subjects
offers the opportunity to find out more about specific careers and occupations,
including educational requirements, working conditions, opportunity for ad-
vancement, financial outlook, etc. A qualified counselor is available to assist in
interpreting test information and to help you find the best way to achieve career
objectives.

The Center administers the Institutional Admissions Testing Program (SAT), the
American College Testing Program (ACT), The Regents' Testing Program, the
University System of Georgia Collegiate Placement Examinations (CPE), and other
institutional testing programs. It also schedules and conducts national testing pro-
grams such as the National Teacher Examination, Graduate Record Examination,
Law School Admissions Tests (LSAT), Graduate Management Admission Test
(GMAT), Medical College Admission Test, Miller Analogies Test, College Level
Examination Program (CLEP), and the American College Testing-Proficiency
Examination Program.

rapidly expanding. ACNET, the Augusta State University Network, is a
campus-wide fiber optic network linking five student microcomputer laboratories,
academic and administrative offices, and Reese Library. ACNET provides access
to PEACHNET, the University System of Georgia's state-wide network, and
InterNet, which provides access to computing resources at other institutions within

workstations, network file servers, and CD-ROM servers.

The university provides special training on campus-specific software packages,
electronic mail, and other resources through a combination of periodic seminars
and individual instruction. This training is provided free of charge.

In addition to a student help desk to assist students with the standard software
packages used in most classes, the university provides special training on
campus-specific computing issues as needed. Quarterly seminars on popular
microcomputer software packages are also provided at no charge to faculty and
staff.

These services, along with ACNET, are administered by the Office of Computer
Services, located in Hardy Hall. The Office provides computing support for
instruction, research, and administration. The staff, made up of professionals and
supplemented by student assistants, supports the students, faculty, and university
staff as they strive to use today's technology in their daily routines. Support is
offered through a variety of services, but primarily through the Student Help Desk
and a Faculty/Staff Help Desk. The Faculty/Staff Help Desk is in Hardy Hall and is
staffed from 7 a.m. until 6 p.m. daily (Friday 7 a.m. - 5 p.m.) by professionals who
can either help resolve reported problems immediately or route them to someone
who can.

president, vice president, and secretary/treasurer, who are responsible for coordi-
nation of various committees and activities. The Student Senate, composed of

Step 1: Study Our Admissions Requirements

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

Graduate Admissions Requirements

If you wish to apply for graduate studies, you should begin by consulting with the chair or
admissions adviser h the department you wish to enter. The documents you will need are
listed below under "Step 2: Prepare Your Application Materials." Other admission
requirements are listed under the individual programs in the "Academic Programs" section
of this catalog.

Admission to School of Business Administration and School of Arts and Sciences: See
specific program listings.

School of Education Admissions: Regular Admission Admission to the masters program
requires an undergraduate degree from a regionally accredited college or university in the
proposed field of study or a closely related area; a 2.5 GPA (4.0 scale) on all course work
in which a letter grade was awarded; a score of at least 400 on the verbl subtest of the
Graduate Record Examination and a score of at least 400 on the quantitative subtest or
a score of at least 44 on the Miller Analogies Test. In some programs, additional
requirements must be met prior to admission.

Provisional Admission Students who do not meet requirements for Regular Admission to
the masters program may be admitted provisionally if they: have completed an
undergraduate degree from a regionally accredited college or university in the proposed
field of study or a closely related area; have earned at least a 2.2 GPA (4.0 scale) on all
course work in which a letter grade was awarded; have earned a score of at least 350 on
the verbal subtest of the Graduate Record Examination and a score of at least 350 on the
quantitative subtest p_r a score of at least 27 on the Miller Analogies Test. Students who are
admitted provisionally must earn at least a grade of "B" on the initial 1 5 hours of graduate

12 How to Enroll at Augusta State University

work in order to remain in the graduate program. Students who are admitted provisionally
and are unable to meet this grade requirement will be dropped from the program and must
meet all of the requirements for Regular admission in order to be readmitted to graduate

study-

Freshman Admissions Requirements

Every applicant for freshman admission must be a high school graduate or the
equivalent. Applicants with GED certificates must present scores that meet the
requirements for the State of Georgia. High school students who receive a "Cer-
tificate of Attendance" do not satisfy the graduation requirement. In addition, to
gain regular admission to the university, the applicant must have completed the
entire College Preparatory Curriculum (CPC) in high school. The required CPC is
listed below:

English: 4 Units Required

Mathematics: Algebra, 2 Units Required; Geometry, 1 Unit Required.

Science: Physical Science, 1 Unit Required; Lab Courses, 2 Units Required.

Social Science: American History, 1 Unit Required; World History, 1 Unit
Required; Economics & Government, 1 Unit Required.

Foreign Language: The same foreign language, 2 Units Required.
Applicants who are admitted to the university but fail to satisfy the College Prepara-
tory Curriculum requirements for English or mathematics will be required to take
the Collegiate Placement Exam (CPE, see below) and will be placed according to
the results. Applicants who are admitted to the university but fail to satisfy the
College Preparatory Curriculum requirements for science, social science, or foreign
language will be required to complete, with a grade of C or better, at least one
college course in each area of deficiency within the first 45 quarter hours earned.
In the case of students who have completed no high school foreign language
course, two college courses in the same foreign language will be required, with a
grade of C or better in each. No credit earned in these courses will be applied to
the requirements of the university degree.

In the determination of eligibility for freshman admissions, the most important
consideration is the Predicted College Average. This average represents the
academic average that the freshman applicant is predicted to earn at Augusta State
University. The Predicted College Average is determined by a formula which uses
two variables: the high school average computed on academic courses, and SAT
(or ACT) scores. Of these two variables, the high school average is the more
important and has more weight in the formula. The prediction formula is validated
each year to reflect the characteristics and achievements of the entering class of
the previous academic year.

Regular Admission: For regular freshman admission, specific requirements are
as follows:

Predicted College Average above 2.00 (on a 4.00 scale).

SAT Verbal score of 430+ and an SAT Math score of 400+ or comparable
ACT scores. (Original SAT Verbal of 350+; Math of 350+)

College Preparatory Curriculum (CPC) must have been completed in high
school.
Freshman applicants who show potential but fail to satisfy any one of the require-
ments above will be required to take a diagnostic examination at the university, the
Collegiate Placement Examination (CPE). The Office of Admissions will notify the
applicant by mail as to the specific date and time of the College Placement

How to Enroll at Augusta State University 13

Examination. If this examination indicates the applicant does not have adequate
preparation for regular admission to the university, he or she will be offered
admission into the Developmental Studies Program, unless the diagnostic testing
indicated the applicant will not be benefited by the Program, in which case the
student will be denied. If, after one academic quarter has passed, the applicant can
document attempts to improve his or her academic skills, he or she may be
reconsidered for admission.

PLEASE NOTE: We use the recentered scale of the SAT to determine whether
students meet the minimum admissions requirements. All original SAT scores
received will be converted to the recentered scale.

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 atten-
dance in scheduled classes. However, some courses are amenable to 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 $3 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 ten quarter 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 (practica, laboratory sciences, and courses requiring field work or perfor-
mance, for example) may be challenged only with the permission of the chairper-
son 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 15 quarter hours in a discipline and 45 quarter 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 Counseling and Testing Center
or the Office of Admissions.

Early Admission Requirements for High School Students: Under exceptional
circumstances, a high school student may be admitted to Augusta State University
at the end of his or her junior year. This enrollment is available to the student who
demonstrates both academic and social readiness for college. To be eligible for
admission consideration, the student must have:

(1) an overall "B" high school average in academic courses from grades
9-11

(2) a combined SAT score of 1100 or higher (or equivalent ACT score),

14 How to Enroll at Augusta State University

with a minimum Verbal score of 490 and Math score of 450. (A combined
original SAT score of 1000 or higher with no score below 410)

(3) an on-track completion of the College Preparatory Curriculum (CPC)

(4) a written recommendation from the high school principal or counselor

(5) a letter of consent from the parent or legal guardian

(6) a personal interview with a university admissions officer

Joint Enrollment Admission Requirements for High School Students: A qual-
ified 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 consideration, the student must have
completed the sophomore year of high school and have:

(1) an overall "B" high school average in all academic courses completed

(2) a combined SAT score of 1 100 or higher (or equivalent ACT score), with
a minimum Verbal score of 490 and Math score of 450. (A combined
original SAT score of 1000 or higher with no score below 410)

(3) an on-track completion of the College Preparatory Curriculum (CPC)

(4) a written recommendation from the high school principal or counselor

(5) a letter of consent from the parent or legal guardian

(6) a personal interview with a university admissions officer

If the recentered SAT verbal score is 490 and the math score is 450, a student
accepted into this program will be permitted to enroll in any course for which he or
she is prepared. (Original SAT scores for both Verbal and Math must be 410 or
higher.)

Life Enrichment Student Admissions Requirements: A life enrichment applicant
is one who files a completed application form, has graduated from high school or
the equivalent, has not attended high school or college in the past five years, and
has earned no more than twenty transferable quarter hours (14 semester hours)
of college credit.

Although neither the American College Test (ACT) nor the Scholastic Aptitude
Test is required of Life Enrichment applicants, the Collegiate Placement Exam-
ination (CPE) will be required for admission consideration. The applicant will be
admitted or denied admission to the university based on the results of the exam.
If accepted, the student shall complete any Developmental Studies requirements
indicated. Students who fail to meet the Life Enrichment admissions requirements
may be required to submit SAT or ACT scores.

Transfer Student Admissions Requirements

An applicant who has previously attended a regionally accredited institution of
higher education is considered a transfer student. In general, the primary factor in
the admissions decision for a transfer applicant is the academic average at the
former regionally accredited institution (s). In addition, under University System
Board of Regent's policy a transfer applicant cannot be considered for admission
unless the transcript of the college or university last attended shows honorable
discharge or unless the officials of the institution last attended recommend the
applicant's admission. If two or more calendar years have elapsed since the
applicant's dismissal from the last college or university attended, Augusta State
University may review the application according to its normal procedures.

How to Enroll at A ugusta State University 15

For unconditional admission to the university, the transfer applicant must have
an overall GPA of 2.00 (on a 4.00 scale). However, a transfer applicant may be
admitted on a one quarter probationary basis if he or she presents an overall
grade-point-average that conforms to the following scale:

Quarter Hours Attempted

Cumulative GPA

0-24

no minimum

25-44

1.3

45-89

1.6

90-134

1.9

134+

2.0

A transfer applicant who has completed fewer than 45 quarter hours (30 semester
hours) of Core Curriculum credit work must also satisfy Freshman Admission
Requirements. Those who graduated from high school in Spring 1988 or later are
subject to College Preparatory Curriculum requirements. In addition, 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 accredited colleges provided the
courses correspond in content to courses offered at Augusta State University.
Additional validation will be required for courses 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.

Transient Student Admissions Requirements

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

1 . File a completed application form.

2. Submit a letter confirming good standing from the registrar of the college
in which you are enrolled or matriculated. You can be admitted to Augusta
State University as a transient student only if you are currently eligible for
re-admission to your home institution.

3. Upon acceptance, take your transcripts to the Augusta State University
department(s) in which you wish to take courses, so that course
prerequisites may be assessed. If you wish to enroll in courses for which
prerequisites are required, you must, prior to registration, give the
department chair transcript(s) showing successful completion of required
prerequisite courses. This requirement may be waived only by the
permission of the department chair.

As a transient student you will be required to adhere to the same academic standards
that govern regularly enrolled students. You may renew your status for additional

16 How to Enroll at Augusta State University

enrollment periods for a maximum of two quarters per calendar year and for a
maximum of three consecutive quarters, by submitting written approval from your home
institution and notifying the Augusta State University Admissions Office at least 30 days
prior to the scheduled registration for the next enrollment period.

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

Other Non-Degree Admissions Requirements

"Non-degree student" is a classification reserved for the student interested in en-
rolling at Augusta State University for credit without pursuing a college degree. The
non-degree student may be a transient student (see above), or a special student.
A special student is not a degree candidate at Augusta State University or at
another educational institution. A candidate for this type of limited enrollment seeks
instruction in particular courses for personal or professional purposes. This
classification may include post-baccalaureate, post-graduate, and audit students.

If you hold a baccalaureate degree or graduate degree from a regionally
accredited college and wish to enroll in undergraduate courses as a non-degree
student, then you 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, and (3) satisfy all other admission requirements
as determined by the Office of Admissions.

Former Student Readmission Requirements

If you have attended any other college or university since your last enrollment at
Augusta State University, regardless of how long you have been away from AC,
you must re-apply through the Office of Admissions. In addition, you must provide
the Office of Admissions with official transcripts of all college work attempted since
your last enrollment in Augusta State University. Failure to provide required
transcripts may result in loss of credit or dismissal from Augusta State University.
If you have not enrolled in Augusta State University, or attended any other
college or university, for four consecutive quarters, you must apply for readmission
through the Office of the Registrar at least 30 days before the desired quarter of
re-entry. In order to determine degree requirements as a returning student, see the
entry for "Graduation Requirements" in the "Academic Handbook" section of 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
quarter or for students who have schedule conflicts that may be resolved by
co-enrollment.

If you are enrolled at one institution for the equivalent of at least ten quarter
hours of course work you may enroll for five or more quarter hours of course work
at the other institution.

How to Enroll at Augusta State University 17

Submit your application for co-enrollment 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.

You will pay all fees required of a full-time student at your home institution,
if you wish to register for an overload you must satisfy the overload requirements of
your home institution.

International Students: Special requirements

if you are not a U.S. citizen or resident, ask the Office of Admissions to send you
its special information and application materials for international students. In
addition to satisfying the regular requirements for admission, you must provide
documented evidence of adequate financial support to meet educational and
personal expenses.

The prescribed method for demonstrating English proficiency is the Test of
English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). The TOEFL is required for non-native
English speakers, freshman applicants who completed secondary school outside
the U.S. Secondary School system, or who completed high school within the U.S.
Secondary School System, but fail to meet any one of our specific requirements for
regular freshman admissions. The TOEFL is also required of the transfer
applicants who lack credit for College Composition I (ENG101). A minimum total
score of 540 is required for admissions consideration. The test scores should be
forwarded directly from the testing agency to the Office of Admissions.

All international academic transcript(s) must be forwarded to the following
agency for a "course by course" evaluation before the Office of Admissions can
process your application for admissions:

Educational Credential Evaluators, Inc.

P.O. Box 92970

Milwaukee, Wl 53202-0970

USA

(414)289-3400
To see if your are eligible for resident tuition fees, see the paragraph on
"International Students" in the "Waivers" section of Step 5 below.

Because additional processing time is required for international students, you
should submit the application and all supporting documents at least 90 days prior
to the desired quarter of entrance. The Certificate of Eligibility (Form I-20) cannot
be forwarded to you until an offer of acceptance has been extended.

Step 2: Prepare Your Application Materials

To seek admission to the university, you must file an official application for admis-
sion with the Office of Admissions. There is a detachable undergraduate application
form at the end of this catalog. If you need another copy, write or visit the
Admissions Office in The Benet House, 2500 Walton Way (10), Augusta, Georgia
30904-2200, or phone us at (706) 737-1632 or (800) 341-4373. Applications and
materials are free of charge.

The Admissions Office or graduate program office must receive the application
form and all supporting documents no later than 30 days before the beginning of
the quarter in which you wish to enroll. A $10.00 nonrefundable application fee
must accompany the application. A high school candidate may submit an
application for admission after the junior year is completed.

18 How to Enroll at Augusta State University

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

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

Documents You Need: 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 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 needs the following:

Official Application Form. A candidate seeking admission must file an official
undergraduate 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 read the directions accompanying the
application and provide all information requested. An incomplete application will
cause delay and may be returned to the candidate.

Application Fee ($10, Nonrefundable). This processing fee is required from all
undergraduate applicants who have not previously enrolled.
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 Entrance Examination Board (CEEB) 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 45
quarter hours (30 semester hours) of Core Curriculum credit work must also
submit SAT or ACT results. The CEEB college code number assigned to
Augusta State University is 5336. For information concerning test dates and
centers, consult your high school or college guidance office.
Immunization. All new students enrolling in schools within the University System
of Georgia are required to provide proof of immunization for mumps, measles,
and rubella or to provide a valid reason for exemption. This documentation,
including dates of all required immunizations and the signature of a health care
provider, must be submitted to the appropriate admitting 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.

How to Enroll at Augusta State University 19

Documents You Will Need: Graduate Students

It is the responsibility of the applicant to request that documents required for
admission be forwarded to the appropriate office (see individual programs for
specific requirements). These documents become the property of the university
and are not returned to the applicant. Candidates are considered when all required
documents have been received, and they are notified of a decision by mail. The
following must be submitted when applying for graduate admission:

Formal Application and $10 application fee.

Transcripts: Two official transcripts from each college attended. The two
transcripts must be sent directly from the issuing agency to the appropriate
office.

Recommendations: Three letters of recommendation from former teachers or
other non-relatives who have direct knowledge of the applicant's potential to
succeed at and benefit from a graduate program.

Scores: An official copy of scores on the national standardized examination
appropriate to the degree objective. Applicants for the Master of Business
Administration program must submit scores on the Graduate Management
Admission Test (GMAT). Master of Education applicants may submit scores
on the Common Examinations (WCET) of the National Teacher Examinations
(NTE) for the forms of the examination in use prior to fall, 1 982, Alternatively,
Master of Education applicants may submit scores for the Graduate Record
Examinations (GRE) General (Aptitude) Test or the Miller Analogies Test
(MAT). Specialist in Education applicants may submit NTE Common
Examination (WCET) scores for a form of the examinations in use prior to fall,
1982, or an NTE Area Examination score. Instead of submitting NTE (WCET)
or area exam scores, the Specialist in Education applicant may submit either
a GRE General (Aptitude) score or an MAT score. Applicants seeking a
Master of Science with a major in psychology must submit scores on the
GRE Aptitude Test. The scores must not be more than five years old and
must be sent directly from the issuing agency to the appropriate office.

Provisional Graduate Status: Applicants who do not have an acceptable under-
graduate grade point average and/or do not have acceptable test scores may
in some cases be considered for provisional admission. Provisional graduate
students must petition to be admitted to a particular course of study leading
to a master's degree on or before the time they complete fifteen quarter hours
of admissible graduate credit. In any case, no more than 15 quarter hours of
graduate credit earned prior to the student's being accepted as a regular
graduate student may be counted toward a graduate degree program.

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, you
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

20 How to Enroll at Augusta State University

indicated by previous academic work and appropriate examinations.

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
Developmental Studies courses that attempt to provide the experience and
counseling designed to aid the student in overcoming his or her academic defi-
ciencies.

Admissions Notification

Graduate Students: You will be notified by letter as to the conditions of your
acceptance. An additional mailing will contain orientation and registration dates and
the name of the faculty advisor. The university retains the right to release
admissions decisions to colleges.

Undergraduates: You will be notified by letter as to the conditions of acceptance.
Included in the same mailing will be orientation and registration dates and the
assigned department for advising. If you are accepted on an unofficial or incom-
plete transcript, a final and official transcript is required before the admission is
final. If this information has not been received by the day of registration, you may
register on a conditional basis for one quarter only. Registration for the succeeding
quarter 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.

Step 3: Look Into Financial Aid

It is very important to apply for financial aid as early as possible in the calendar
year you plan to enroll. Applications completed by April 15 will be given priority in
awarding fall quarter aid. For forms and information, contact the Office of Financial
Aid, Payne Hall, 737-1431.

To apply for assistance, you will need to process the Free Application for
Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) annually. No award can be made until you have been
officially admitted to the university.

How to Enroll at Augusta State University

Step 4: Choose Your Courses

After admission, we will send you an information packet which includes registration
details, document requests, and special program information. You should read
these materials carefully and supply any requested information prior to registration.

Graduate students should consult with their departmental advisers. For under-
graduates, the best first resource is the university's START UP center. The center
combines a variety of student advising and transition support programs designed
to assist students in achieving their educational goals and accessing the full range
of campus services and learning opportunities. Located on the third floor of the
College Activity Center, START UP is open from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through
Thursday, and until 4:30 p.m. on Friday during the quarter. Between academic
quarters, the office closes at 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.

The START UP center offers a series of informational opportunities referred
to as OARS (Orientation,. Advising, Registration, Special programs). These
transition support programs make registration simple and provide a wide range of
support for undergraduates new to campus. General information on these
programs is included in the acceptance packet. Additional information is available
by contacting the START UP center, on the third floor of the College Activity Center.
START UP is open from 8 am to 6 pm Monday through Thursday, and until 4:30 on
Friday during the quarter. Between quarters, the center closes at 4:30 pm Monday
through Friday.

An Orientation Program for new students is offered at the beginning of each
quarter, which includes the opportunity to register with the aid of an academic
advisor.

One of the primary functions of the START UP Center is to advise
undergraduates who are as yet undecided about their majors. START UP is staffed
by full-time academic advisors dedicated to assisting students in formulating their
educational plans by guiding them through course selections and linking them to
relevant programs and support services. Upon selection of a major, the staff assists
with the transition to the new advising department.

Step 5: Pay Your Fees and Other Costs

Registration at the beginning of each quarter is not complete until all general fees
have been paid and no student may be admitted to classes without having met his
or her financial obligations.

Expenses are charged and payable by the quarter since each quarter consti-
tutes a separate unit of operations. You may enroll at the beginning of any quarter.
To ensure sound financial operation and conformity with the policies of the Board
of Regents, certain regulations must be observed.

All payments are to be made to the Business Office. Fees and charges may
be paid in cash or by check. Tuition payment may also be made by MasterCard or
Visa. If a check given for student's bill is not paid on the presentation to the bank
on which it is drawn, payment of a service charge of $15 or 5 percent of the check
amount, whichever is greater, will be required. Other returned checks will also

How to Enroll at Augusta State University 29

require the payment of a $15 service charge.

Augusta State University reserves the right to withhold all records (diplomas,
transcripts, etc.) and/or disenroll students who fail to meet financial obligations to
Augusta State University.

All matriculation charges, board, room rent, or other charges are subject to
change at the end of any quarter. At the printing of this catalog in June 1996, fees
and charges were as set forth below:

qualify for in-state tuition rates. (See page 33 for classification of a student as a
resident or a nonresident, and contact the Office of Admissions or Student Records
for more information about establishing legal residence in Georgia.)

Athletic Fee. A quarterly $45 Athletic Fee is charged to each student. These funds
support the men's and women's varsity athletic programs.

Motor Vehicle Registration Fee. Adequate parking facilities are provided for the
convenience of the large number of students commuting from neighboring towns.
All motor vehicles must be registered. Parking permits are available in the Public
Safety office. An annual permit, which is valid for the academic year, costs $10. A
second permit costs $5. The university assumes no responsibility for any damage
to or loss of a motor vehicle or other personal property from within a motor vehicle
parked on campus.

Transportation Fee. Transportation is provided by Augusta Public Transit to
students between the main campus and the Forest Hills campus. Students pay a
nominal transportation fee of $2 for this service. The fee also entitles all students
enrolled at Augusta State University to free service on all routes served by Augusta
Public Transit.

Late Registration. Any student who does not register and pay fees at the time
designated for registration in the University Calendar is charged a late registration
fee of $15.

Graduation Fee. A $20 fee is charged each graduate for a diploma. This is pay-
able when the student applies for graduation-no later than the mid-term date of the
quarter preceding the final quarter of course work. Should a student fail to meet the
requirements for graduation after paying the graduation fee, there is a $15 charge
for reprinting of the diploma. The fee is $20 for the master's or Specialist in
Education diploma. This is payable at the time the student applies for graduation
no later than the mid-term date of the quarter preceding the final quarter of the
course work.

Transcript Fee. A student who has discharged all financial obligations to the
university may receive on request and without charge one transcript of his or her
full academic record. Each additional transcript costs $3.

Change of Schedule Fee. A $4 fee is charged for each schedule change made by
the student after registration. No charge is made if the change is initiated by the
university.

Music Fees. Private instruction in piano, organ, orchestral instruments, voice, or
composition, two one-half hour lessons or one 1-hour lesson each week, for two
quarter hours credit, costs $45 in addition to the matriculation fee. Secondary
applied music instruction, consisting of a one-half hour lesson per week for one
quarter hour credit, costs $25 in addition to the matriculation fee. There is no
special music fee for class piano. An student may enroll in applied music instruction
on a space available basis upon payment of the music fee.

Other Expenses. In estimating costs of attending Augusta State University, a
student should consider these miscellaneous expenses: (1) books and supplies,

particularly for courses such as art, nursing, and biology, which require special
supplies; (2) an official uniform for anyone enrolled in physical education or
nursing.

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.

Reduction in Course Load Initiated by the University. If the university drops a
course from the quarter'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 courss
reduced. No refund will be made for a reduction in credit hours after that time.
Dropped classes will not appear on the permanent records.

RESIDENCE CLASSIFICATION: GEORGIA RESIDENTS AND NON-RESIDENTS

If a student is over 18 years of age, he or she may register as a resident student
only upon showing Georgia residency for at least twelve months prior to the
registration date. Any period Of time during which a person is enrolled as a student
in any educational institution in Georgia may not be counted as a part of the twelve
months' domicile and residence herein required when it appears that the student
came into the state and remained in the state for the primary purpose of attending
a school or college.

A student who is under 18 years of age when seeking to register or re-register at
the beginning of any quarter will be accepted as a resident student only upon
presenting evidence that the supporting parent or guardian has been legally
domiciled in Georgia for a period of at least twelve months immediately preceding
the date of registration or re-registration.

In the event that a legal resident of Georgia is appointed as guardian of a
nonresident minor, such minor will not be permitted to register as a resident student
until the expiration of one year from the date of appointment, and then only upon
proper evidence that such appointment was not made to avoid payment of the
nonresident fee. If the parents or legal guardian of a minor changes residence to
another state following a period of residence in Georgia, the minor may continue
to take courses for a period of twelve consecutive months on the payment of
resident fees. After the expiration of the twelve months' period, the student may
continue registration only upon payment of fees at the nonresident rate.
In the event that a person who is a resident of Georgia and who is a student in an
institution of the University System marries a nonresident of the state, the student
will continue to be eligible to attend the institution on payment of resident fees,
provided that the student's enrollment is continuous and State of Georgia residency
is maintained.

If a person who is not a resident of Georgia marries a resident of Georgia, the
non-resident will not be eligible to register as a resident student in a University
System institution until he or she has lived in the State of Georgia for a period of
twelve months immediately preceding the date of registration.
Nonresident graduate students who hold assistantships that require at least
one-third time service may register as students in the institution in which they are
employed on payment of resident fees.

A student is responsible for registering under the proper residency classification.
A student classified as a nonresident who believes that he/she is entitled to be
reclassified as a legal resident may petition the Registrar for a change in status.
The petition must be filed no later than sixty (60) days after the quarter begins in
order for the student to be considered for reclassification for that quarter. If the

How to Enroll at Augusta State University 33

petition is granted, reclassification will not be retroactive to prior quarters. The
necessary forms for this purpose are available in the Registrar's Office.

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.

Veterans' Education Benefits. See the entry for "Veterans' Affairs" in the
Information and Regulations section of this catalog and contact the office of
Veterans' Affairs for further information.

International Students. International students are selected by the institutional
president or his authorized representative, provided, however, that the number of
such waivers in effect at any time does not exceed one percent of the equivalent
full-time students enrolled at the institution in the fall quarter immediately preceding
the quarter for which the out-of-state tuition is to be waived.
Aliens shall be classified as nonresident 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.

Also see "Special Requirements for International Students", at the end of "Step 1 :
Study Our Admissions Requirements" in this catalog's section on "How to Enroll at
Augusta State University".

Teachers. Full-time teachers in the public schools of Georgia and their 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 minor 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.

Senior Citizens. 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.
Additional information concerning this type of enrollment may be obtained from the
Office of Admissions.

ACADEMIC HANDBOOK

This section explains regulations that affect students after admission, as well as
general information. Regulations regarding admission may be found in the "How
to Enroll at Augusta State University" section of this catalog.

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 school 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.

Note : In August, 1998, Augusta State University will officially change from

the quarter calendar to the semester calendar. This will be a time of
transition for students and campus personnel alike. The fall semester will be
from August through December and the spring semester will be from
January through May. The administration is working to see that this
transition is not harmful to any student's program.

70-Hour Rule: Look under "Graduation Requirements" for the "Undergraduate
Graduation Requirements" listing.

Absences from Class: See "Class Attendance."

Academic Freedom

Augusta State University guarantees to faculty members academic freedom in
teaching, research, and publication as defined by the American Association of
University Professors' 1940 Statement of Principles on Academic Freedom and
Tenure and the Association's 1970 Interpretive Comments on that statement. The
text and details of the university's statement on academic freedom is published in
the Augusta State University Faculty Manual.

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 sol-
iciting 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

Academic Handbook 35

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 dishonesty 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:

5. Report the violation and the action taken to the chairperson of the depart-
ment in which the violation occurred, who will then report the matter to the
Dean of that School.

6. 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:

5. Notify the Dean of the School 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.

6. If those reviewing the matter do not agree with the interpretation of the evi-
dence 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

36 Academic Handbook

by the original decision and forward the "WF" withdrawal form to the Dean.
7. If those reviewing agree with the faculty member, the withdrawal form shall
be forwarded to the Dean.
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 dis-
honesty 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, the Dean shall send the withdrawal form to the Reg-
istrar 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 (3) 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 for punitive action, he or she shall
notify the appropriate Dean, who will ask the Academic Policies Committee to
arrange a hearing in the manner set forth below in this catalog under "Student
Academic Grievances."

Academic Probation and Suspension: See Academic Standing and Grade Point
Average (GPA).

Academic Standing and Grade Point Average (GPA)

Undergraduates: There are two grade point average computations in use at
Augusta State University. These computations produce a student's GPA and
AGPA. The GPA is the traditional collegiate value used to measure the quality of
a student's performance while at Augusta State University. The GPA is called the
cumulative grade point average, or more simply, the grade point average. The
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 AGPA is called the adjusted grade point average. It was first put into effect
at Augusta State University in Spring Quarter 1989 and was modified in May of
1994. The current rules apply regardless of the student's enrollment date. Only
undergraduate students seeking their first degree are eligible to have an AGPA. A
student's AGPA 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 AGPA is of interest only within the institution.

Computations: The GPA is computed by dividing the total number of hours
attempted 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.)

Academic Handbook 37

A quarterly GPA is determined for each student at the end of each quarter. It
is similar to the GPA, but is based only on the hours attempted that quarter.

To determine the AGPA, first compute the number of adjusted hours attempted
by summing together: (1) those hours associated with the most recent attempts of
courses taken at Augusta State University numbered from 100 through 299 in
which a grade of A, B, C, D, F, or WF has been earned, and (2) all hours attempted
at Augusta State University associated with courses numbered 300 or above in
which a grade of A, B, C, D, F, or WF has been earned. The AGPA is then
computed by dividing the adjusted 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/Suspension: The credit level is the sum of all adjusted hours
attempted, plus all transfer credit hours, plus all credit hours accumulated based
on approved examination programs. 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 AGPA (or Academic
Renewal GPA, see above) of less than 2.00 will be placed on academic probation.
Students on probation may continue to attend Augusta State University only if they
meet the following minimum requirements which are based on credit level.

Required Minimum Average

Credit Level either Quarterly GPA or AGPA (or AR-GPA)

1 -- 24 1 .00 0.50

25 -- 44 2.00 1 .30

45-- 89 2.00 1.60

90-- 134 2.00 1.90

135 or above 2.00 2.00

Students who are on probation and fail to meet the requirements specified above will
be suspended. The time of the suspension will be one quarter for the first suspension,
two quarters for the second suspension, and four quarters for all suspensions
thereafter. Any suspensions prior to academic renewal do count in the number of
suspensions received by the student.

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

If circumstances warrant, the dean or vice president may require special testing
and successful completion of all or a part of the Developmental Studies program as a
condition of reinstatement. See Developmental Studies, Rules for Students in.

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 academic difficulty at

38 Academic Handbook

Augusta State University to have one opportunity to make a fresh start after an
absence of five calendar years from all postsecondary institutions.

Restrictions: All developmental studies requirements must have been successfully
completed before the commencement of the five-year period of absence. The student
must apply for academic renewal at the time of re-enrollment, or within, whichever
comes first, three academic quarters of re-enrollment or one calendar year. A student
can be granted academic renewal status only once.

Advantages: An Academic Renewal Grade Point Average (AR-GPA) is begun when
the student re-enrolls following the five-year period of absence. The AR-GPA begins
with zero hours attempted and zero quality points as if the student was a new transfer
student. The AR-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 coursework is retained and will
count towards the residency requirement, if taken at Augusta State University. Any
prior completion of the Regent's Test, Legislative, and College Preparatory Curriculum
requirements will be retained.

Disadvantages: Any credit earned with a grade of "D" is not retained. There is no
adjustment for repeated courses, as in the AGPA, so if the student retakes a course
after academic renewal both grades will count in the AR-GPA. 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 AR-GPA (see
the requirements for the desired program). Both the AR-GPA and the Cumulative GPA
will appear on the student's transcript with a statement that Academic Renewal status
was granted.

Graduate Students: The determination of academic accomplishment is based solely
upon a student's cumulative 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. A GPA of 3.00 must be
maintained on all courses attempted in a graduate program. For more information,
consult listings of specific programs in the Academic Programs section of this catalog.

Accessibility: See "Disabled Students."

Add/Drop: See "Course Changes" and/or "Withdrawal from Class."

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 (45 hours of course work in courses
numbered 300 or above with an average grade of C or better) with at least 45
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 or minor, mathematics, and foreign languages.

Admissions

Regulations regarding admission may be found in the "How to Enroll at Augusta
State University" section of this catalog. The present section sets forth regulations
and basic information of interest to students after admission.

Alumni Association

The Augusta State University Alumni Association dates back to when "Augusta
College" was only a two-year institution in the mid to late 1920's. The association
is composed of former students and graduates of Augusta State University and is
governed by an executive board. The two main goals of the association are the
following: (1) to arrange activities designed to maintain close relationships among
alumni, classmates, and the university and (2) to participate in supporting the
university through private support. A complimentary one-year membership is given
to each graduate. Other alumni achieve active status by making annual gifts. The
alumni offices are located in the Maxwell Alumni House, and alumni programs are
handled through the Office of Development and University Relations.

Alumni Professor of Business Administration: See "Endowed Professorships."

Appeals: See "Student Academic Grievances" and/or "Student Academic Ap-
peals."

Area Teacher Education Service (ATES): See "Teacher Education."
Athletic Association

The Augusta State University Athletic Association is organized to encourage
participation of the student body and other interested parties in the athletic and
physical education programs of the university.

Attendance: See "Class Attendance."

Auditors

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 will be dropped from the class with a grade of "W".

Augusta State University Foundation

The Augusta State University Foundation was established in 1963. The purpose
of the Foundation is to raise private support from individuals, corporations,
foundations, and others to further the interests of Augusta State University. Other
purposes of the Foundation are to establish and maintain endowments and provide
the administration for handling all private support. The Foundation is based in the
Office of Development and University Relations at Augusta State University.

Center for the Creative Arts

The Augusta State University Center for the Creative Arts (ASUCCA) provides
quality instruction in music to persons in the Greater Augusta area. The ASUCCA
is located in the Fine Arts Center and is administered through the Department of
Fine Arts in conjunction with the Division of Continuing Education. Terms of
instruction run concurrently with the university semesters. Instruction is offered in
individual applied music lessons, class piano, class guitar, beginning band, Youth
Orchestra, and Youth Wind Symphony. Public concerts and recitals are scheduled
each quarter.

Certification for Teachers: See "Teacher Education," "Teaching Certificates:
Renewal and Reinstatement," "Science Certification for Secondary School
Teachers," and "Social Sciences Certification for Secondary School Teachers."

Changes in Courses, Curriculum: See "Course Changes," or "Curriculum
Changes."

Cheating: See "Academic Honesty."

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 student's absences,
including the making up of work missed, are to be arranged between the student
and the professor.

All professors will, at the beginning of each quarter, make a clear 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 of each course professor.

A student must not be absent from laboratory periods, announced quizzes
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.

After the equivalent of one week of absences from a class, regardless of
cause, the student is subject to being dropped from the class by the instructor. A
student so withdrawn 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.

Course Changes

Courses may be dropped and/or added only upon the approval of the student's
faculty advisor. Course changes are not to be made at the whim of the student. 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. The last day a student
may enroll in a class is given in the university calendar, as the last day of Add/Drop.

Course Load: See "Student Load."

Course Number Restrictions, Graduate Courses

Graduate courses are assigned numbers from 500 to 799. Courses in the 500
series, although designed for the graduate student who needs to satisfy
prerequisite requirements, are open to selected undergraduate seniors and are
designed to prepare the student for further study. Courses in the 600 to 700 series
are open to graduate students and post-baccalaureate students. Courses with 700
numbers may have courses in the 600 series as prerequisites.

A master's student may enroll for graduate credit in certain specific courses
which bear numbers from 400 to 499. The course descriptions of those courses
specify that they may be taken for graduate credit. No 400-level course may be
used for graduate work unless its undergraduate enrollment is restricted to junior
and senior students.

In no case may a student include more than fifteen hours of work in courses
whose levels are less than 600 to satisfy the sixty quarter credit hours minimum
requirement for a master's program.

Any eligible student who wishes to earn graduate credit in a dual-listed course
must enroll at the 600 level. No graduate credit may be earned in any dual-listed
course if the student is enrolled in it at the 400 level.

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 PED activity
courses, Cullum Lecture Series courses, "Selected Topics" courses, and other
courses specifically designed for repetition. Such courses are labeled in the
"Course Descriptions" section of the catalog with a phrase such as "may be
repeated for credit."

If a lower division course (numbered 100 through 299) is repeated, only the
last grade received is used in the calculation of the adjusted grade point average
(AGPA). See "Academic Standing and grade Point Average (GPA)".

Curriculum Changes

The academic programs of Augusta State University are offered through the School
of Business Administration, the School of Education and the School 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 recommend changes in curricula, and in rules, at any time when in its
judgement such changes are in the best interest of the student and Augusta State
University. The Augusta State University faculty is responsible for the curriculum.
From time to time, the curriculum may be changed when the faculty believes that
a change is in the best interest of students. Recommendations for such changes
can originate with any one of a number of key faculty committees.

Deans' Lists

The Deans' Lists for the School of Business Administration, the School of
Education, and the School of Arts and Sciences are compiled quarterly for
undergraduate students. To qualify for this academic honor, a student must (1)
earn ten (10) or more hours of undergraduate course work numbered 100 or
above, exclusive of K grades, (2) achieve a grade point average of 3.66 for the
quarter, and (3) receive no grade of I, F, or WF during the quarter. Also see:
"Honors, Graduation with."

Developmental Studies Program

The purpose of the Developmental Studies Program is to provide a curriculum that
will increase the student's chances of achieving college-level proficiency in basic
academic subjects, to provide additional assistance in specialized subjects, and to
help the student realistically assess vocational and academic goals.

High school performance, scores on the College Board Scholastic Aptitude
Tests, and other tests as specified by Augusta State University determine whether
a student needs Developmental Studies courses. The student may be required to
take all of the Developmental Studies courses, or he or she may be required to take
only one or two courses in a particular academic area. If an applicant's academic
qualifications are such that in the opinion of the university he or she would not be
successful even with the assistance provided by the Developmental Studies
Program, he or she will be denied admission. Students who meet full admission
requirements to Augusta State University may elect to audit a portion or all of the
Developmental Studies Courses (numbered 099 and below). In addition, students
who are not progressing satisfactorily in regular freshman English and algebra may

Academic Handbook 43

elect to enter the Developmental Studies Program. After consultation with an
academic advisor, these students are placed in appropriate courses.

Developmental Studies, Rules for Students in

A student in the Developmental Studies 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 quarter of enrollment, all Developmental Studies students, including
those attending part-time, must first register for all required Developmental
Studies courses before being allowed to register for other courses.

Two exceptions are possible:

a. When two or three Developmental Studies courses are required and a student
is enrolled in at least one Developmental Studies course, up to two hours credit
may be taken that quarter instead of a required Developmental Studies course;
those two hours may only be selected from freshman orientation (ACO100 or
COS099), Physical Education, Military Science, or Music.

b.ln the event that a required Developmental Studies 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 Dean of Arts and
Sciences and the Chair of Developmental Studies. No exceptions shall be
made regarding prerequisites.

2. Until individual Developmental Studies requirements have been satisfied, stu-
dents will not be permitted to take credit courses which assume the content or
the skills of a student's required Developmental Studies courses as pre-
requisites:

a. Mathematics 097, 098, and 099 are prerequisites for Mathematics 107;
English 098 and 099 are prerequisites for English 101 ; Reading 098 and 099
are prerequisites for English 101 .

b. In addition, students who are enrolled in Reading 098 may enroll only in the

following credit courses: Mathematics courses; Psychology 245; Social
Work 111; AGO 100; all 100-level Applied Music (MUA) courses; Art 102,
103, 131; Music 111, 112, 113, 121, 122, 123, 125, 126, 127, 195, 171, 173,
174, 233, 361, 362, 363, 364, 365, 366, 367, and 368; 100- and 200-level
Military Science courses; all 100-level physical education activity courses;
Physical Education 191, 195, 196; Sociology 221; Criminal Justice 103;
Communications/Drama 250, 251 .

c. Students enrolled in Reading 099 may enroll in the courses listed above and

in Sociology 101, Anthropology 101 and Anthropology 201, Commun-
ications/Speech 100 and Communications/Speech 101.

3. Once assigned to the Developmental Studies Program, a student may not accu-
mulate more than thirty (30) hours of academic credit before completing all
Developmental Studies requirements. A student who accumulates thirty (30)
hours of academic credit, and has not successfully completed required
Developmental Studies courses, may enroll only in Developmental Studies
courses until requirements in Developmental Studies are successfully completed.

44 Academic Handbook

4. Students who do not complete the requirements for passing each required area
of Developmental Studies after a maximum of four (4) attempts per area, or three
(3) attempts at an area without satisfactorily completing the 098 course in the
area, will be declared ineligible to continue in the program and will be excluded
from the institution. An attempt is defined as a quarter in which a student receives
any grade except "W".

A student who is declared ineligible cannot be considered for re-entry in less
than one quarter. If, after one academic quarter has passed, the student can
document attempts to remedy remaining academic deficiencies or show other
reasons why these deficiencies can now be successfully addressed, the Dean
of Arts and Sciences may arrange for such a student to sit for the appropriate
section of the institutional examinations (if the student has never passed that
portion of the final examination) and the appropriate section of the CPE
examination. Satisfactory performance on the appropriate section of the
institutional examinations (if required) and the appropriate sections of the CPE
will allow the student re-entry to Augusta State University as a regular-placement
freshman. If the student fails to post a passing score on either the appropriate
section of the institutional examinations (if required) or on the appropriate section
of the CPE, the appeal is denied.

Students who do not post a passing score on either the appropriate section
of the institutional examination (if required) or the appropriate sections of the CPE
after their initial retest (after one academic quarter) become ineligible for three
quarters, after which they may retake the appropriate sections of the exit exams
with the written permission of the president.

5. No degree credit is earned in Developmental Studies, though institutional credit
is awarded. Time spent in Developmental Studies 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 four attempts at an area of Developmental Studies.

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

S: satisfactory (passed coursework, passed institutional requirement,

passed Collegiate Placement Examination [CPE])
IP: insufficient progress (passed course-work, passed institutional requirement,

failed CPE, withdrew after midterm)
U: unsatisfactory (failed coursework, ineligible to attempt institutional

requirement, ineligible to attempt CPE)
W: withdrawal before midterm (not counted as an attempt)
V: audit (volunteer enrollment only)

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

Disabled Students

Learning Disabilities. If you believe you have a learning disability you should
contact the Coordinator of Disability Services in the Counseling and Testing Center
(737-1471) for information concerning testing and the eligibility process or for

Academic Handbook 45

general information regarding learning disabilities. Instructors can also refer
students to the Coordinator of Disability Services for this purpose. In assisting
learning-disabled students, Augusta State University follows the definition and
criteria for evaluation established by the Board of Regents of the University System
of Georgia, which are as follows:

The following procedures for the diagnosis and accommodation of learning
disabled students are based on a report from the University System Committee on
Learning Disabilities. The report was endorsed by the Advisory Council in August,
1991, and by the Board of Regents in September, 1991.

DEFINITION AND CRITERIA FOR EVALUATION

All units of the University System shall employ the same definition of learning
disabilities in order to promote evenness in the way learning disabled students are
accommodated. A definition that was originally published by the Interagency
Committee on Learning Disabilities (1987) has been adopted as being in keeping
with current practices of most state and federal guidelines. The following definition
shall serve as the basis for diagnosis in the University System:

Learning disabilities is a generic term that refers to a heterogeneous
group of disorders manifested by significant difficulties in the acquisition
and use of listening, speaking, reading, writing, reasoning, or
mathematical abilities, or of social skills. These disorders are intrinsic to
the individual and presumed to be due to central nervous system
dysfunction. Even though a learning disability may occur concomitantly
with other handicapping conditions (e.g., sensory impairment, mental
retardation, social and emotion disturbance), with socio-environmental
influences (e.g., cultural differences, insufficient or inappropriate
instruction, psychogenic factors), and especially with attention deficit
disorder, all of which may cause learning problems, a learning disability
is not the direct result of those conditions or influences. (Interagency
Committee on Learning Disabilities [1987]).

This definition may be modified in the future to be consistent with any changes
made by the Interagency Committee on Learning Disabilities. The current definition
does not include social skills deficits and attention deficit model of learning
disabilities in that deficits in basic academic areas are due to an underlying deficit
in a related cognitive system. Academic area deficits which do not have a
correlated cognitive deficit are not considered to represent a specific learning
disability. Therefore, learning disabilities may be identified in the following
academic areas: reading, writing, spelling, mathematics, and language.

Deficits in specific course topics such as Russian History, Marketing, or
Sociology would not be expected, although a student with a reading and/or writing
disability may have difficulty in any course with heavy reading or writing
requirements.

46 Academic Handbook

The following cognitive domains are typically identified as areas of specific
deficits in such students:

Language: including auditory discrimination, comprehension, expression,

naming, or related functions.
Visual-Spatial: including analysis and synthesis of spatial information.
Memory: including auditory, visual, verbal, or spatial memory. Deficits may

appear in either short-term or long-term memory functions.
Fine motor/dexterity skills
Executive Functions: including concept formation, problem solving, and

organizational/planning abilities.
Attention: including the ability to focus on relevant information to the exclusion

of irrelevant information.

The criteria a student must exhibit are one or more, but not all, areas of
specific academic deficits as stated above, a correlated cognitive deficit, and
average intellectual ability.

To be considered an area of academic deficit, a student's individually
administered standardized achievement test results must fall at least a standard
deviation below the student's intellectual abilities, or a standard deviation below the
student's other academic abilities as assessed by the same measures.

Average intellectual abilities will be defined as the student's best verbal or
nonverbal domain score (for example, either the PIQ or VIQ on the WAIS-R). A
standard IQ score of 90 or above will be considered in the average range.

A correlated cognitive deficit must be demonstrated on multiple independent
tests of cognitive functioning in a specific cognitive area as listed above. The deficit
must represent a logical basis for the academic deficit. For example, one would not
expect a specific fine motor deficit to be directly linked to a reading disability.

Professional clinical judgment and interpretation must be part of any
assessment. This is particularly important in the case of minority students involved
in standardized testing. The use of any particular eligibility formula for learning
disabilities at the post-secondary education level has not been validated in
research at this time. Therefore, the use of any such objective formulas using just
test scores is unwarranted and problematic.

The use of previous evaluation information may be integrated into this
evaluation process if deemed appropriate by the professional assessment team.

Physical Disabilities

The Office of Disability Services coordinates and provides a variety of services for
students with disabilities. The aim of this office is to ensure that students with
disabilities have equal access to all programs and activities offered at Augusta

Academic Handbook 47

State University. Services include:

Assistance in obtaining textbooks and course materials in alternate format

(taped texts, braille, and large print)
Adaptations for exams such as extended time, taped and large print exams,

and test recorders
Access and orientation to the campus, including classrooms and buildings
Print enlarging machines
Zoom-text computer magnification systems which enlarge the display

It is important to note that in order to provide auxiliary aids and reasonable
accommodations, advanced notice (before the regular deadline for application)
may be required. For more information, contact the Office of Disability Services.
Hearing impaired students may reach the Office of Student Affairs TDD (706)
667-4175.

To contact the Coordinator of Disability Services and the Americans with
Disabilities Compliance Officer, write or call Rosemary Meredith, 2500 Walton
Way, Augusta GA 30904-2200.

Discipline

Augusta State University has defined the relationships and appropriate behavior
of students as members of the university community through the document Student
Rights and Responsibilities. 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.

Drop/Add: See "Course Changes" and/or "Withdrawal from Class."

Endowed Professorships

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
School of Business Administration and the community. The chair in
communications is intended to be a catalyst to enhance the interface between the

48 Academic Handbook

School of Business Administration and the communications program in the School
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 School 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.

Alumni Professor of Business Administration: The Alumni Professorship
of Business Administration was created in 1979 and is jointly funded by the
Augusta State University Alumni Association and the Augusta State University
Foundation. The Professorship was established to aid the School of Business
Administration in recruiting and retaining an outstanding faculty scholar or business
executive-in-residence.

Financial Aid: See "Step 3" in the "How to Enroll at Augusta State University"
section of this catalog.

General Education

A core curriculum was developed by the University System of Georgia for the
general purpose of aiding and facilitating the education progress of students as
they pursue baccalaureate degrees within and among the units of the University

52 Academic Handbook

Graduation Requirements: Graduate and Undergraduate

Application for Graduation: The application must be completed and filed with the
registrar no later than the mid-term date of the quarter preceding the final quarter
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
quarter (in June) and at the close of the fall quarter (in December). Students who
complete all requirements for the degree by the end of winter quarter or spring
quarter receive degrees in June. Students who complete all requirements for the
degree by the end of summer quarter or fall quarter receive degrees in December.
Degree candidates are encouraged to attend graduation exercises. If they are
unable to do so, however, they are required to notify the Registrar's Office in
writing.

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.

Undergraduate Graduation Requirements: Specific graduation requirements
for programs in the School of Arts and Sciences and the School of Education are
found in the "Academic Programs" section of this catalog. Specific graduation
requirements for programs in the School of Business are found later in the
"Academic Handbook" section. All candidates for the bachelor's degree at
Augusta State University must satisfy the following conditions:

Students must earn 45 to 80 hours in the major and 20 to 29 hours in the minor,
depending upon the field, with a grade of "C" or better in each course. (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. The
performance major in the Bachelor of Music or the Bachelor of Fine Arts and the
Bachelor of Business Administration major do not have a minor field. The
Music-Secondary School Teaching major does have a minor in education and a
reduced number of hours in music.) Commun-ications/Speech (either COS 100
or COS 101 , depending on the major) is also required in all majors. 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 187 to 197 hours.

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 45
hours of resident credit (30 hours for the associate degree) in excess of the
requirement for the original degree.

Core Curriculum: The core curriculum includes ninety hours, sixty in general
education and thirty in courses related to a major. It is divided into four areas,
with twenty credits in each of the three general studies areas. 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

Academic Handbook 53

University must satisfactorily complete the three general areas of the core
curriculum as well as the fourth area relating to their major field. The list of
courses in the core curriculum is presented at the beginning of the "Academic
Programs" section of this catalog.

Course Requirements: Complete a minimum of 90 hours for the associate
degree or 180 hours for the baccalaureate degree (exclusive of credit earned
in lower division Physical Education courses) as specified for the candidate's
program. Included in the baccalaureate degree program is a requirement for
5 hours credit in Humanities 323. Candidates for both associate and bacca-
laureate degrees are also required to complete either Communications/Speech
100 or Communications/Speech 101 . There will be a minimum of 70 hours of
upper division courses required for students graduating with the baccalaureate
degree beginning in 1988. However, a student graduating with the degree of
Bachelor of Arts with a major in Music may count all courses taken to fulfill the
foreign language requirement for the degree as upper division credit for the
purpose of meeting the 70-hour requirement. A student who has satisfied the
foreign language requirements for his or her degree may count the courses
taken during the junior and senior years in any other foreign language,
regardless of course numbers, toward the upper division (300-400 level)
graduation requirements.

Credit from Other Institutions: See below in this listing, "Residence Requirement
and Credit from Other Institutions";

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 quarters 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 101 and 102, When to Enroll: (a) Students must enroll in English 101 no
later than the first quarter they register following completion of 30 hours of
Augusta State University residence/transfer credit, (b) Students must continue
to register for English 101 each successive quarter until they have completed
the course with a grade of "C" or better, (c) Students who complete 101 must
enroll in English 102 no later than the first quarter they register following
completion of 45 hours credit. (d)Students must continue to register for English
102 each successive quarter until they have completed the course with a
grade of C or better.

Grade Point Average: Achieve an adjusted grade point average of at least 2.00
on all work attempted at this university or an academic renewal grade point

54 Academic Handbook

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 $20 fee is to be paid to the Business Office at the time the
application for graduation is submitted.

Legislative Requirements: Demonstration of a knowledge of United States
history, Georgia history, the United States Constitution, and the Georgia
Constitution as required by Georgia state law. See "Special Legislative
Requirements."

Physical Education Requirement: Complete the required courses in physical
education or satisfy conditions for a waiver of requirements. See "Physical
Education Requirements"

Residence Requirement and Credit from Other Institutions: If seeking an
associate degree, complete in residence at Augusta State University a minimum
of 30 hours of academic credit. If seeking a baccalaureate degree, complete in
residence at Augusta State University a minimum of 45 hours of academic credit
in courses numbered 300 and above. At least 30 hours of this credit must be
earned after achieving senior status. 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. The

appropriate chair determines which credits may be applied toward fulfilling

degree requirements. A maximum of 96 hours of credit earned in a junior

college may be applied toward a degree.

Regents' Testing Program Examination: Demonstration of proficiency in reading
and writing skills by passing all parts of this examination. The examination is
administered each quarter 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.

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

Graduate Student Graduation Requirements: To see the specific graduation
requirements for the program you wish to take, see the "Academic Programs"
section of this catalog.

Admission to Candidacy: An application for admission to candidacy for a master's
degree should be submitted to the appropriate office not earlier than the
completion of fifteen hours of satisfactory graduate work, and not later than the
first week of the final quarter in which the student is to be enrolled. To be
admitted to candidacy, a student must have satisfactory test scores, acceptable
quality work, classification as a regular graduate student, and the approval of
his or her school or major department. See individual programs for specific
requirements for admission to candidacy.

Academic Handbook 55

Advisement: Upon admission to graduate study for the master's degree, each
student will be assigned an advisor by his or her school dean or department
chair.

Comprehensive Examination: Each student may be required to take a com-
prehensive examination which is oral and/or written at the discretion of the
school or department. The examination covers all work prescribed by the
student's program. In some programs, an outside member of the faculty will be
present for the evaluation of the student via comprehensive examination and/or
the defense of the thesis. This representation shall be from a different school or
department other than that of the student. The student must be registered at the
time of the examination.

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, a student who is not enrolled for two or more consecutive years must
satisfy requirements in effect at the time of his or her re-admission. A student
returning to Augusta State University, after having transferred to another
institution for two or more quarters, must comply with degree requirements in
effect at time of re-admission.

Language Requirements: Each department or school offering a major in the M.S.
program will require appropriate research training. Examples of such would
include one or more courses in computer science, research methodology, or
statistics, or a means of measuring reading competency in a foreign language.
If applicable, the Department of Languages, Literature, and Communications will
approve and, if appropriate, administer the examinations which measure
language reading competency.

Required Hours in Graduate Programs: For the Master of Science in Psychology,
see the "Academic Programs" section of this catalog.

With respect to other master's programs, for those which require a thesis the
minimum number of hours for graduation is forty-five hours plus fifteen hours
credit for theses. Thirty of these credit hours must be in the major field. For
those which do not require a thesis, sixty hours is the minimum, with a minimum
of forty credit hours in the major field.

In compliance with the University System of Georgia policy, a minimum of
one-half of the hours required for the degree must be earned in residence. A
maximum of one-half of the hours required for the degree may be earned in
courses offered off campus, including courses offered through the Area Teacher
Education Services.

Research Requirement: AW master's degree students in the School of Education
are required to take an approved course in educational research.

Residence: No more than fifteen hours of credits or their equivalents can be
transferred from another institution. The student must be registered in the
university during the quarter in which he or she completes requirements for
graduation. The total number of hours to be transferred must be recommended
by the school or department offering the degree program.

Thesis: A thesis may be required for the M.S. degrees. The thesis must meet the
standards set by the school. Any student following the thesis option will be

56 Academic Handbook

guided in the thesis work by his or her advisory committee. When appropriate,
the student must file three copies of the thesis signed by the advisor and the
dean of the appropriate school with the office of the dean of the school not later
than two weeks prior to the date of graduation. (The school may require these
theses to be bound at the student's expense). At least one copy should be
permanently filed in the library.

A non-thesis option is applicable to the Master of Science degree. The
non-thesis option is departmental; it is not an individual's option except as
departmentally approved. The M.B.A. and the M.Ed, degrees do not require
theses.

Time Limit: All work including any thesis and comprehensive examinations must
be completed within a seven year period. For specifics see the individual programs.

Grievances: See "Student Academic Grievances" and/or "Student Academic
Appeals."

Handicapped Students: See "Disabled Students"

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 and 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,

Academic Handbook 57

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 ap-
plicants 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.

INFORMATION AND COUNSELING: Information and counseling are available

through the campus Counseling Center.

EDUCATION: All students at Augusta State University must take Physical and

Mental Health (PED 191) 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

58 Academic Handbook

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.

1 0. 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.

1 1 . 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. If performing CPR the
portable pocket mask will be used for artificial respiration.

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.

Honesty: See "Academic Honesty."

Honors: Graduation with,

Excellence in academic work is recognized at graduation by the award of honor rank
in general scholarship. The cumulative 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.

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 entire university career
meets one of the above requirements and the student has completed at least half of
his or her courses in residence. Also see: "Deans' Lists."

HONORS PROGRAM

The primary goal of Augusta State University's developing Honors Program is to offer
special opportunities to superior undergraduate students who enjoy the challenges
and rewards of a stimulating academic environment. Honors classes are smaller

Academic Handbook 59

than other sections; they offer more personal contact with some of Augusta State
University's best professors. Honors classes ask students and professors to explore
course content actively and intensively; they often encourage independent work and
collaboration among students and between students and professors. These courses
do not, however, have a different grading scale and are not graded more strictly than
other courses.

In the last years, the Honors Program has offered upper-division multidisciplinary
seminars for honors students and honors sections of several courses that fill core
requirements. A faculty committee and an advisory board of students are working
together to broaden the opportunities available to honors students. The program is
open to all qualified Augusta State University undergraduate students.

Inquiries about the Honors Program should be directed to the Dean of the School of
Arts and Sciences, Augusta State University, Augusta, GA 30904-2200, (706, 737-
1738).

Hours: See "Unit of Credit."

Incompletes: See "Grading System" and "Grade Changes."

Insurance

By special arrangement the university approves a student health insurance policy
which also provides benefits for accident and accidental death and dismemberment.
The magnitude of student participation in the plan allows the insurer to offer excellent
benefits for a minimal premium. Applications for student insurance may be made at
quarterly registrations.

Language Requirements: See individual programs in the "Academic Programs"
section of this catalog. Also see "Graduation Requirements: Graduate Students."

Legislative Requirements: See "Special Legislative Requirements."

Life Enrichment Students: See "Step 1" in the "How to Enroll at Augusta State
University" section of this catalog.

Majors

A major concentration normally requires a minimum of 45 hours. (Also see
"Graduation Requirements.") Grades below C are not accepted for courses in a
major concentration. Some departments or schools require general education or
cognate courses in addition to the core curriculum and major courses. Satisfactory
completion of the major concentration is certified by the major department or
appropriate school. 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, the multiple major will be
recorded on the permanent record. For details on a specific major concentration, see
the "Academic Programs" section of this catalog.

Maxwell Chair: See "Endowed Professorships."

60 Academic Handbook

Minors

All 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,
Bachelor of Science in Education, and the performance major in the Bachelor of
Music. A minor consists of 20 to 29 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 school. Once the minor field is selected, the student should
seek academic advisement for this concentration within the department or school in
which he or she is minoring.

Teacher certification other than early childhood, middle grades, health and
physical education, and special education may be obtained by minoring in education
and majoring in a selected field of study.

For details on a specific minor field, see the "Academic Programs" section of this
catalog.

Morris Eminent Scholars: See "Endowed Professorships."

Non-Traditional Studies, Credit for

Non-traditional studies are defined as studies other than those taken in the normal
college or university classroom situation. Determination of whether college credit will
be awarded for non-traditional studies is based upon a recommendation by the chair-
person of the academic department concerned and an approval by the appropriate
academic dean. An examination may be required to validate knowledge gained
before credit is awarded. Questions concerning the type of credentials to be
submitted in support of requests for credit should be directed to the Admissions
Office. Also see the paragraph on credit by examination in "Freshman Admissions
Requirements" in the "How to Enroll at Augusta State University" section of this
catalog.

Physical Education Requirements

Baccalaureate Degree. Each student is required to pass six courses (selected from
101-191) of physical education which should normally be completed during the
freshman and sophomore years. Unless a waiver (as outlined below) is granted, the
requirement will consist of Healthful Living (Physical Education 191), one course in
aquatics (Physical Education 141-149), and four other courses to be selected from
the physical education curriculum. The electives may be repeated, but it is strongly
suggested the student take advantage of this opportunity to develop a wide range of
skills.

Associate Degree. Each student is required to pass three courses (selected from
101-191) of physical education. Unless a waiver (as outlined below) is granted, the
requirement will consist of Healthful Living (Physical Education 191), one course in
aquatics (Physical Education 141-149), and one other course to be selected from the
physical education curriculum.

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

A) Veterans: Based on a minimum of one year of continuous active duty, a
veteran may present a copy of form DD 214 to the Registrar for verification,
and be exempted from the Physical Education requirements.

Academic Handbook 61

B) Age: A student 25 years of age or older at the time of his or her first
registration at Augusta State University or at the time of re-enrollment after an
absence of two or more years is not required to take physical education
courses.

C) Evening Students: A student who completes 50 percent or more of the
courses required for his or her degree from courses scheduled after 2:00 PM
is not required to take physical education courses.

D) Medical Statement: A student who presents a medical statement from a
physician stating he or she is not capable of activity-type courses may satisfy
the requirement by successfully completing Physical Education 191 and two
courses in Sports Appreciation (Physical Education 195 and 196). The
medical statement must be presented in person by the student to the
Chairman of the Department of Physical Education.

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:

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

62 Academic Handbook

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.

C) When to take the Regents' Test:

1. Students who have satisfactorily completed English 101 and 102 or English
1 1 1 or have earned 45 hours of credit must take the Regents' Test the next
quarter in which they are enrolled. Students who fail to take the test at this
time will not be allowed to register for subsequent quarters until they have
taken the test.

2. Students who have passed only one portion of the Regents' Test are required

to take only the segment they have not passed.

3. Transfer students from within the University System will be held to all policies
as described herein. Transfer students from outside the University System
who receive 45 or more credit hours of transfer credit must take the Regents'
Test no later than the second quarter of enrollment. Thereafter, they are
subject to all other provisions of this policy.

D) Remediation Requirements:

1 . Students who have earned 74 or fewer hours and who fail one or both parts
of the Regents' Test must take English 101 or 102 if they have not satisfactorily
completed these courses or English 051 and/or 052 if they have completed
these courses: students who have earned 75 hours of credit or more must take
English 051 and/or 052 (as appropriate) for remediation whether or not they
have completed English 101 or 102.

2. Students required to enroll in English 101, 102, 051 and/or 052 as required
above must meet all requirements of these courses. Students required to
take English 101 , 102, 051 , and/or 052 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
quarter, and made ineligible to register at Augusta State University for the
following quarter.

3. Part-time students taking only one course per quarter 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
quarter.

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 quarter 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 101 and 102. 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 Languages, Literature, and Communications. The
student should enroll in English 052 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

Academic Handbook 63

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 052
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.

Repeating a Course for a new grade: See "Course Repeat Policy."

MASTER OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION

The principal objective of the Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree
program is to provide for advanced management education, beyond the
baccalaureate level, of professionals who are or may wish to become managers 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 core 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
other part-time or full-time careers, all MBA courses currently are taught in the
evening.

A student who enters the MBA program with a bachelor of business administration
degree and has undergraduate grades of "C" or better in foundation courses, usually
will be able to complete the MBA program with 50 quarter-hours ( 10 courses ) of
core course work plus 10 quarter-hours ( 2 courses ) of electives. Students who
must take some or all of the foundation courses may require up to 85 quarter-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 15 quarter-hours ( 3 courses ) of core or elective 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, etc.) is required of all entering MBA graduate students and may be acquired
through formal academic courses, on-the-job experience, or self study.

Unless special permission is granted by the Director of Graduate Studies, only
students enrolled in the MBA program may register for or attend MBA graduate
courses.

Elective Courses: (10 quarter credit-hours)

Each student must select two five-quarter-hour graduate business administration
elective courses (695-level) from the approximately seven different elective choices
offered each year.

Academic Performance:

An accumulative grade point average (GPA) of at least 3.00 (on a 4.00 scale) is
required for graduation and to remain in good standing in the program. An MBA
student may earn a maximum of 10 quarter-credit hours with a grade of "C". MBA
course credit may not be earned with course grades below "C". If a student's
cumulative GPA falls below 3.00, the student will be placed on academic probation
and must raise the cumulative GPA to at least 3.00 during the next 1 5 hours of course
work in order to remain in the MBA program.

Time Limitation:

All requirements for the MBA degree must be completed within six consecutive years,

beginning with the student's enrollment in the first 600- or 700-level course.

Application Requirements:

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

1 . Application for Graduate Study.

2. Fee of $10.00, check or money order. (Not required if previously enrolled at
Augusta State University.)

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

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

Admission Criteria for the MBA Program:

Regular Graduate Status: Admission to regular graduate status is based primarily
upon (1) a satisfactory undergraduate grade point average (GPA) and (2) an
acceptable score on the GMAT. Ordinarily, the minimum requirements for admission

72 Academic Handbook

as a regular graduate student are:

Eligibility index (200 x GPA + GMAT) of 950 (using the overall undergraduate
GPA) or 1 ,000 (using the junior-senior GPA), with an absolute minimum GMAT
of 400.

The eligibility index, used widely in business schools as a predictor of performance
in graduate studies, allows relatively strong performance on the GMAT to offset a
relatively weaker undergraduate GPA, but requires that the GMAT be 400 or above
in any case.

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, School of Business Administration. The appeal will be heard by the
Graduate Admissions Appeals Committee which consists of representative faculty of
the School of Business Administration.

GMAT:

The Graduate Management Admission Test is a standardized examination
administered by the Educational Testing Service. The test is given four times a year
at locations throughout the country, including Augusta State University. 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 indicate on the test application form that
their scores should be reported to the School of Business Administration at Augusta
State University. The test must be taken and scores must be reported before the
deadline for applications for a particular quarter. That schedule may be obtained
from the graduate office in the School of Business Administration.

Applications to take the GMAT and more detailed information may be obtained
from the graduate studies office in the School or by writing to: Graduate Management
Admission Test, Educational Testing Service, P.O. Box 6103, Princeton, New Jersey

The School of Education

The School of Education prepares the student for leadership and service in
education, the professions, and the community, and prepares him or her to become
a responsible citizen and leader in society. Students who successfully complete a
preparation program in the School of Education 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
developmental^ 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.

The School comprises the Department of Health and Physical Education and the De-
partment of Teacher Education. Degrees offered at the graduate level are the
Masters of Education with a range of majors and the Specialist in Education with a
choice of majors. The undergraduate degrees include the B.A. in Early Childhood and
Middle Grades Education, the B.Sc.Ed. in Health and Physical Education and in
Special Education, the A.A.Sc. in Services (Option in Child Development and Related
Care). For undergraduates who wish to prepare for a career in secondary school
teaching, the School has worked with the School of Arts and Science to develop
programs integrating professional education with traditional majors in academic
disciplines. The faculty of the School of Education is as follows:

Dean: Freeman, R. N.

Department of Teacher Education

Professor: Barnabei, F.; Chou, F.H.; Clary, L.M.; Freeman, R.N.; Harris, P.P., Cree-Walker Chair; Smith,

L.R.; Weber.R., Acting Chair.

Associate Professor: Blackwell, B.; Bozardt. D.A.; Hickman, E.W.; Pollingue, A.; Stayer, F.M.

Assistant Professor: Burau, D.W.; Fite, S.G.; Moss, LA; O'Connor, M.

The School of Education's programs are found in the "Academic Programs" section
of this catalog and are also listed in the index.

Science Certification for Secondary School Teachers

For undergraduates majoring in biology, chemistry, physical science, or physics, the
School of Education offers structured programs leading to secondary certification in
science. These programs are listed in "Academic Programs," the next section of this
catalog. For post-baccalaureate students, the state of Georgia issues secondary
science certificates to students who have completed 40 hours in one of the above
majors (or 40 hours in Earth/Space science courses) and 15 hours in two of the other
areas. If the Earth/Space sequence is chosen as the 40-hour emphasis, it must
include coverage in geology, astronomy, and meteorology. A total of at least 30 of the
70 hours must be upper division (that is, at the 300- and 400-level), and at least 20
of the 40 hours for the major emphasis must be upper division. The normal sequence
of education courses also is required. For more details, see your academic advisor.

Social Sciences Certification for Secondary School Teachers

The Georgia Department of Education has constructed a broad-field certification in
social studies. The broad-field certificate not only offers a more well-rounded educa-
tional experience but may also widen the choice of available teaching positions. At
Augusta State University, the foundation for this certification program is a major either
in History-Secondary School Teaching or in Political Science- Secondary School
Teaching. The courses specifically required for these majors satisfy the state
requirement that at least 30 of the hours counting toward certification be above the
sophomore level and that a minimum of 10 hours in the history major be U.S. history.
In addition to the regular requirements in these majors, the broad-field social
sciences certification program then requires three 15-hour concentrations with a
choice of:

1 . History or Political Science (whichever is not the student's major)

2. Economics

3. Behavioral Sciences (any combination of psychology, sociology, and anthro-
pology)

4. Geography (AC offers only one course in geography, but the student may use
approved credits transferred from other institutions.)

Also, at least 15 hours of total course work must deal with the non-western world
(cultural anthropology, cultural geography, modem history, and comparative
economic systems). The student's academic advisor should be consulted for more
details.

Special Legislative Requirements

An act of the 1975 session of the Georgia legislature provides that all graduates are
required to have passed an examination on the History of the United States, the

Academic Handbook 75

History of Georgia, and on the provisions and principles of the United States
Constitution and the Constitution of Georgia. Examinations are administered each
quarter. No academic credit is given for these examinations. They are scheduled and
administered quarterly by the Counseling and Testing Center and are posted in
Bellevue Hall.

Certain history and political science courses (i.e., HIS 211, HIS 212, POL 101) will
satisfy this requirement. The course descriptions identify these courses. The Augusta
State University student who fails to pass the examinations must present course
credits in the area or areas failed.

Speech Requirement: See "Graduation Requirements" for the "Undergrad-
uate Graduation Requirements" listing.

START-UP Center: See "Step 4" in the "How to Enroll at Augusta State University"
section of this catalog.

Student Academic Appeals

(also see "Student Academic Grievances")

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.

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

You should submit the appeal in writing to the immediate supervisor of the
administrator whose decision you question. It is your responsibility to gather the
evidence necessary to support your case and to include that evidence when
submitting the written appeal. In preparing the appeal, you 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 you have 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.

Student Academic Grievances

(also see Student Academic Appeals)

The following grievance procedure primarily applies to alleged violations of a

76 Academic Handbook

student's rights by his/her instructor. However, if your problem is related to
admission, transfer of credit, probation, suspension, or dismissal, you may wish to
enter an academic appeal, as described in the previous section of this manual. If your
problem is with an administrator's decision regarding a matter between you and your
instructor, you should use the academic appeals process unless you can reasonably
claim that the administrator's decision constitutes a violation of your rights. In the
latter case, you may choose to use the academic grievance procedure, adapting it
to your case so as to begin with the administrator and his/her supervisor rather than
the instructor and his/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 your
problem is related to a non-academic issue, you should refer to the Student Conduct
Code.

If you wish to initiate a grievance, you must follow the student academic grievance
procedure as outlined below, keeping in mind the following principles:

1 . You must start with a sincere attempt to settle the dispute in an informal
manner with the instructor. Administrators can initially hear your concerns and
refer you 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 you to prepare your case, keep in mind that when you present the
facts the burden of proof is on you, not on the instructor.

4. Students who have legitimate grievances which cannot be resolved at the de-

partmental 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.

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

Academic Handbook 77

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 pro-
cedures 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 quarter following the
actions which gave rise to the grievance.

B) If agreement is not reached within five (5) days of the submission of the writ-
ten grievance to the instructor, the student shall submit a copy of the written
grievance to the department chair.

C) If a fair and equitable solution has not been found within five (5) days of the
submission of the written grievance to the department chair, the student shall
submit the written grievance to the appropriate dean.

III. Stage Three: The Formal Hearing. If agreement is not reached within seven
(7) days of the submission of the written grievance to the dean, then 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 ten (10) days of receiving the request to arrange a hearing, the Aca -
demic 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 (5-7) 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 seven (7) days of the appointment of the board, the chair shall convene

78 Academic Handbook

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 ten (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 proceed-
ings.

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

3. Engage the assistance of the Dean of Students 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 seven (7) 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 testi-
mony 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.

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 eight (8) days of the first session of the hearing.

Academic Handbook 79

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

A) Within five (5) 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 (5) days of the distribution of the written verbatim record the board
may choose to meet more than once for this purpose, 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 three (3) 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 de-
cision 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 (5) days of receiving the board's findings and recommendations,
the dean snail 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 ac-
tion. 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 (5) days of having been con-
sidered 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 in-
voked 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 (5) 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.

80 Academic Handbook

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 ten (10) 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 (5) days of having been
notified by the vice president of his/her decision, that decision shall be
considered final and 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 Aca-
demic Affairs, he/she must do so in writing to the president of the university
within five (5) 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 .

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 Re-
gents, he/she shall so advise the president in writing within five (5) 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

Academic Handbook 81

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 sixty days from the filing date of the application for review
or from the date of any hearing which maybe 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 ap-
peals 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, reli-
gion, age, or handicap.

Student Activities

The Director of Student Activities is charged with the responsibility for organizing and
implementing a variety of social and non-academic university functions. The Office of
Student Activities is located on the second floor of the College Activities Center and serves
as a clearhghouse for activities and announcements revolving around the social life of the
student population.

A number of student services are provided by the Student Activities Office including an
hourly child care service, a free typewriter loan service, and a student book exchange.

The Student Activities program is designed to provide opportunities for involvement and
leadershp through a broad spectrum of activities. Members of the Augusta State University
faculty serve as advisors to the organizations. Also see the "Introduction to Augusta State
University" section of this catalog under "Student Government, " "Student Publications, " and
"Student Organizations. "

Student Affairs

The Dean of Students is charged with the responsibility for providing experiences
which will ultimately contribute to a comfortable and well-adjusted student and
member of society. The Office of the Dean of Students coordinates the offices of
Admissions, Cooperative Education, Counseling and Testing, Enrollment
Management/START UP, Financial Aid, Career Center, and Student Activities, plus
the Grover C. Maxwell Performing Arts Theatre. The Dean of Students also
provides housing information and student insurance programs. The Dean's office
is in Boykin-Wright Hall, phone 737-1411.

Student 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, 0-44; Sophomore, 45-89; Junior 90-134; Senior, 135 or more.

Student Load

Undergraduates: An undergraduate student is considered full-time with enrollment
in at least 12 hours per quarter and one-half time with enrollment in at least 6 hours
per quarter. 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, 19 hours may use regular registration

82 Academic Handbook

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 19 hours only if:

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

(2) he or she is within 40 hours of graduation (20 hours for associate degree can-
didates) at the beginning of, but not including, the quarter of current
enrollment.

A student may be approved to register for more than 1 9 hours only if:

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

(2) he or she is within 40 hours of graduation (20 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 (MUA)
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.

Graduate Students: A graduate student is considered full-time with enrollment in
at least 10 hours per quarter and one-half time with enrollment in 6 hours per
quarter. A typical course load for a graduate student or any student enrolled in
600/700 level courses is 10-15 hours. More than 15 hours of enrollment is
permitted only when recommended by the student's advisor, supported by the
graduate coordinator or department chairperson, and approved by the dean of the
appropriate school in advance. In no case will a student enrolled in any number of
graduate hours be permitted to enroll in more than 17 hours.

Student Records

Permanent academic records are maintained by the Registrar in the Office of
Student Records located on the main floor in Payne Hall. Under the provisions of
the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (often referred to as the
"Buckley Amendment"), a student attending a post-secondary educational
institution may examine his or her permanent record maintained by the institution
to assure the accuracy of its contents. This Act also provides that no personally
identifiable information will be released to any party not authorized to have access
to such information without the written consent of the student.

Student Teaching: See "Teacher Education."

Substitution of Courses

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. A copy of the proposed 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.

Teacher Education

Augusta State University has teacher education programs leading to the bachelor's
degree in the areas of early childhood, middle grades, health and physical
education, special education, and the secondary teaching fields of art, biology,
chemistry, English, history, mathematics, physical science, physics, and political
science, and social studies. Also offered are programs in Art, Music, Spanish, and
French leading to P-1 2 certification. These programs consist of a carefully planned
sequence of studies in general education, a specific teaching field area, and
professional education. All teacher education programs at the baccalaureate,
master's and specialist's levels at Augusta State University are fully approved by
the Professional Standards Commission for the State of Georgia and by NCATE.
The university is a member of the American Association of Colleges for Teacher
Education.

Students who desire to teach should begin to plan in the freshman year to
complete a specific program to satisfy all requirements, and should seek the advice
of their assigned advisors in planning and completing their individual programs.
Students are also encouraged to participate in the activities of the club of the major
field and the Student Association of Educators at Augusta State University.

The standard four-year certificate for teaching in the state of Georgia is based
on the baccalaureate degree including or supplemented by minimum professional
requirements. This is referred to as the Initial Certificate. To qualify for this
credential, one must have completed an approved four-year curriculum designed
for a specific teaching field, be recommended by the institution in which the training
is completed, and have passed the Georgia Teacher Certification Test in the
chosen teaching field. Students who wish to qualify for the Initial Certificate should
submit a formal application for admission to the Teacher Education Program during
their sophomore year. Students must provide to the certification officer in the
dean's office an original receipt of passing TCT scores before undergraduate or
graduate certification papers will be signed. The School of Education determines
the fitness of the applicant for entering the program. Students who have been
accepted for the program must submit an application for student teaching during
the fall quarter of their junior year.

Students are expected to complete a "September Experience" of two weeks
in a public school during late August or early September prior to Student Teaching.
This experience is designed to familiarize the student with teaching and activities
associated with the opening of school.

The Georgia Teacher Certificate Test in the chosen teaching field is required
for initial certification by the Professional Standards Commission for the State of
Georgia. Applications for this test are available in the School of Education.

Teacher Education at Augusta State University is a campus-wide responsibility
and function. Although the School of Education coordinates the total program,
students will combine work in the School of Education with work in the various
academic departments depending upon their major and minor interests.

Graduation Requirements" listing.

Time Limit for Graduate Degrees: See "Graduation Requirements" for the "Graduate
Student Graduation Requirements" listing.

Transfer Credit for Graduate Students

An evaluation of graduate course work taken at a regionally accredited college or
university is made by the Augusta State University school or department which has
primary responsibility for the applicant's degree program. Course work used to fulfill a
degree requirement elsewhere cannot be counted toward a graduate degree at
Augusta State University. No more than 15 quarter credit hours or their equivalents can
be transferred and applied toward a master's degree. No more than 10 quarter credit
hours or their equivalents can be transferred and applied toward the Specialist in
Education degree.

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 school that offers a course most comparable
to the one that will be taken elsewhere.

A student who has attempted a course at Augusta State University and received a
penalty grade in that course may not take the course as a transient or co-enrolled
student at another institution. (Penalty grades include Fs, and WFs in all courses, and
D's, F's and WFs in English 101, English 102, 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 school approval has
been obtained. Also see "Transient Student Admissions Requirements" in the "How to
Enroll at Augusta State University" section of this catalog.

Unit of Credit (The Quarter System)

Wherever this catalog uses the term "hours," it is referring to "quarter hours" as under-
stood within the quarter system. Augusta State University is organized on this system.

Academic Handbook 87

Each of the three quarters in the regular session covers a period of approximately 1 1
weeks, which includes 10 weeks of instruction. The summer session is 8 weeks. The
"quarter hour" is the unit of credit in any course. It represents a recitation period of one
fifty-minute period a week for a quarter. A course meeting five periods a week would
thus give credit of 5 hours when completed satisfactorily. For credit purposes, two
laboratory or activity periods are counted as the equivalent of one recitation class
period. Also see "Course Repeat Policy" above.

U. S. Constitution Requirement, U. S. History Requirement: See "Graduation
Requirements" and "Special Legislative Requirements."

The University System of Georgia

The University System of Georgia includes all state-operated institutions of higher
education in Georgia - 13 universities, 6 senior colleges, 15 two-year colleges. These
34 public institutions are located throughout the state. The University System's mailing
address is 244 Washington Street, S.W. Atlanta, Georgia 30334. A 15-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 Re-
gents. The overall programs and services of the University System are offered through
three major components: Instruction, Public Service/Continuing Education, and Re-
search.

Instruction consists of programs of study leading toward degrees, ranging from the
associate (two-year) level to the doctoral level, and certificates. 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 large number of areas of interest. 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 senior
colleges.

The universities in the system are Albany State University (Albany 31705), Augusta
State University (Augusta 30904), Columbus State University (Columbus 31993), Fort
Valley State University (Fort Valley 31030), Georgia Institute of Technology (Atlanta

Veterans' Affairs

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 AC 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 (phone: 737-1606).

As students at Augusta State University, veterans and certain other persons may
qualify under Chapters 30, 31, 32, 35, Title 38, and Chapter 106 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. (Phone: 737-1606)

New or returning students should make adequate financial provisions for one full
quarter 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 quarter to keep his or her
status active and current to receive funds.

Withdrawal from a Course

The responsibility for initiating a withdrawal resides with the student. Forms for initiating
a withdrawal may be obtained from the Office of Student Records (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
absence. (See "Class Attendance above for attendance policies and "Grading System"
above for grading policy upon withdrawal.) The official date of withdrawal is the date
the Withdrawal Form is received in the Office of Student Records.

Anthropology:

Minor in Anthropology

Anthropology integrates scientific and humanistic approaches for understanding
people and cultures by way of the study of archaeology, culture, language, human
evolution, and non-human primates. Students interested in human biology,
behavior, culture, history, or origins will find the anthropological perspective useful.
Anthropology complements studies in history, humanities, international studies,
sociology, psychology, political science, biology, economics, education, and is also
suitable preparation for those intending to pursue advanced anthropology degrees.

Art: Bachelor of Arts with a Major in Art

The major in art under the Bachelor of Arts degree follows established guidelines
for treating art as a subject within the framework of liberal arts. It is recommended
for the student whose interest in art is more general. (Students interested in the
professional degree should consider the Bachelor of Fine Arts, which is described
on the following page.)

Portfolio Review

All art majors are required to submit their work for a review by the studio
faculty after the completion of the following courses: Art 102, 103, 131 , and 20
additional hours of studio art courses (35 hours total). Portfolio Reviews are
scheduled during the fall quarter. The Portfolio Review must take place the
year preceding the year of graduation. Passing the Portfolio Review is a
prerequisite for Art 494 and Art 497 and a graduation requirement. If the
Portfolio Review is not passed, it must be repeated and passed during the
following spring or fall quarter. Advisors will have specific Portfolio Review
dates.

Transfer students must meet this requirement with the provision that a
minimum of 5 hours be done while in residency at Augusta State University
and that the transfer courses for remaining 30 hours be equivalent to required
courses that Augusta State University students participating in the Portfolio
Review are required to complete.

Each student should submit a minimum of 15 studio works. These are to
include both two-dimensional and three-dimensional works. Media variety in
works is encouraged in order to aid faculty appraisal of the student's progress.

The Senior Exhibition:

The BA degree candidate is required to mount an exhibition of his or her
artwork. The work for this exhibition must be accepted by the studio art faculty
and judged to be of significant quantity and quality. The exhibition is part of Art
494's requirements and is a graduation requirement.

Dental School Pre-Professlonal Program

Because of Augusta State University's close proximity and working relationship
with the Medical College of Georgia, students can obtain advice on admission
requirements, curricula, and other matters pertaining to programs offered by MCG.
An undergraduate degree is not specifically required by dental schools, but it does
increase the chance of admission. Many students choose to major in biology or
chemistry since many of the pre-dental admission requirements in science are
incorporated into the degree requirements. Dental schools normally require a
minimum of two quarters of inorganic chemistry (with laboratory), two quarters of
organic chemistry (with laboratory), two quarters of biology (with laboratory), and
two quarters of physics (with laboratory). General liberal arts courses are also
required. Students planning to enter dental school normally complete three to four
full academic years at Augusta State University.

Military Science: ROTC 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
active duty in the U.S. Army for a minimum of three months and are paid a
subsistence allowance of $150 per month for up to 20 academic months while in
college. They also receive half the base pay of a 2nd Lieutenant for 6 weeks
(approximately $800) while attending the advanced camp. Other training
opportunities such as Ranger School, Airborne School, Jungle Warfare School,
Arctic Warfare School, Air Assault School, and Cadet Troop Leadership Training
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 (MS IV) or study the student is offered the options 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. All
textbooks, class materials, and necessary uniforms are provided by the Army at no
charge 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 ROTC 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
ROTC scholarships throughout the year. A student does not have to be currently
enrolled in ROTC to apply for two- and three-year scholarships. Each scholarship
pays for tuition, books, lab fees, and other educational expenses. In addition, all
ROTC scholarship students receive $150 per month for up to 10 months of each
school year the scholarship is in effect.

The Simultaneous Membership Program: The Simultaneous Membership Program
allows cadets to be enrolled in the Military Science Advanced Course and a local
Army National Guard or Army Reserve unit at the same time. The benefits of this
program are that cadets not only receive $150 per academic month from the
Military Science Department but also receive drill pay from their Army National
Guard or Army Reserve unit equivalent to a sergeant's pay. Cadets in this program
perform the duties of an officer trainee in their Army National Guard or Army
Reserve unit. The program provides valuable management experience which will
interest future employers and prepare cadets for leadership and management
positions after graduation.

MUSIC! Bachelor of Arts with a Major in Music

This major follows established guidelines for treating music within the framework
of the liberal arts. It is recommended for students whose interest in music is cultural
rather than professional. A minor in Business Administration will prepare for a
career in one of the many business areas of the music field. Credit hours earned
in private instruction (Applied Music) and/or music ensemble (i.e. university band,
chamber choir, etc.) do not contribute to an overload status and should be
regarded as outside the normal academic load of 15 to 17 hours.

MUSIC! Applied Music Requirements and Policies

Quarterly Jury Examination
All students taking Applied Music for 2 credit hours (MUA 1 40 or 340 series) must
perform for a quarterly jury examination. The jury will be equivalent of a final
examination in applied music and will count as one-fifth of the final grade. The
examining committee will assign appropriate Applied Proficiency Levels (APLs)
within the lower and upper divisions.

If a student misses a jury examination for illness or other acceptable
non-academic reasons, the instructor may give a grade of Incomplete for that
quarter. If a student misses a jury examination for other reasons, the final grade
is averaged with a zero counting one-fifth of the final grade. Exceptions to the
above policies can be made only after an appeal to the chairman and faculty.

A student who performs a junior or senior recital is not required to perform for a
quarterly jury during the quarter in which the recital is performed.

Upper Divisional Examination:
At the completion of APL 5, each student must perform an upper divisional
examination before a full faculty committee. At this time the committee will make
recommendations concerning applied music progress and enrollment in upper
division applied music courses. This requirement must be fulfilled before
departmental approval/signing of the application for graduation.

Piano:
All non-keyboard music majors must enroll in class piano until the Piano Profi-
ciency Examination has been successfully passed. This requirement must be
fulfilled before departmental approval/signing of the application for graduation.
Specific proficiency requirements are available from the piano faculty.

Recitals:
At least once before the end of the first three quarters of applied music study, and
at least once during the period of every three quarters enrolled thereafter, each
music major must perform on a student recital in the student's major applied

146 Academic Programs

area. The applied music grade will be lowered one letter grade during any
quarter that a student fails to fulfill this requirement. A student completing
degrees in the Bachelor of Music programs must perform a junior recital. A
student completing the Bachelor of Music in Performance must also perform a
senior recital. Recital approval hearings must be scheduled at least one month
prior to the recital. Students will enroll for the appropriate MUA 440 course in lieu
of the regular MUA 350 course during that quarter in which the senior recital is
scheduled.

Music 195 (Recital Laboratory):
Enrollment in Music 195 is required during fall, winter, and spring quarters for all
full-time music majors (12 or more hours). All majors must earn at least 9
quarters of satisfactory grades in Music 195 prior to graduation.

Placement:
Entering freshmen and transfer students will be given placement examinations
in applied music and theory. Secondary applied music may be taken without
audition.

Ensembles:
Participation for credit or audit in a major music ensemble is required in fall,
winter, and spring quarters of all full-time music majors until graduation, as
follows:

Wind and percussion majors: Music 174A (Concert Band)
Voice majors: Music 171 A (Choir)
String majors: Music 173 (Orchestra)
Keyboard majors: Enroll in one of the above.

Other music ensembles may be taken for elective credit. After earning 12 hours
of credit (or 11 hours if a music education major) in the major performing
ensemble, the student may petition the faculty for special consideration con-
cerning participation in that ensemble.

Continuation in Applied Music

After a music major has completed the minimum number of hours of applied
music and/or achieved the required applied proficiency level, applied music
study must continue for full-time students until graduation. The study may be for
audit or for one or two hours of credit each quarter enrolled. A student is not
required, however, to take applied music while student teaching unless the
student's junior or senior recital is taken during that quarter. Any student giving
a recital must take applied music during the quarter of the recital, regardless of
whether the student is full-time or not.

Petitions

A student may petition the music faculty concerning the fulfillment of any of the
above requirements but will be responsible for presenting convincing evidence
to support any requested waivers.

Nursing: Associate of Science in Nursing

This program provides initial preparation for professional nursing practice and for
beginning positions in hospitals and nursing homes. It is approved by the Georgia
Board of Nursing and accredited by the National League for Nursing. 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.

Admission to Augusta State University is necessary to be accepted into the nursing
program. Interested students must have an interview with a faculty advisor and
apply for admission into the nursing program before March 1 each year for the
subsequent fall quarter nursing courses. Enrollment is limited to a specific number
based on spaces and resources available. Augusta State University prenursing
students are those who have declared Nursing as their major and are working on
required core courses before seeking admission to the nursing department. They
are advised by faculty in the Department of Nursing. It is highly recommended that
the Biology sequence and Human Development (Education 203) be completed
before applying for admission into the nursing program. Selection into the nursing
program is based on the number of core courses completed and a Nursing GPA
derived from those core courses. A minimum of 2.5 Nursing GPA is required for
consideration of admission into the nursing program. A minimum grade of "C" is
required in English 101 and 102, Biology 111,1 12, 31 1 , and Education 203. These
minimum grades must be attained before entry into the second year of the nursing
program. A grade of "D" in Biology 111, 112, 311, or Education 203 will
automatically preclude the student from registering for the subsequent quarter in
the program. (This does not apply to prenursing students.) Withdrawal from any
of these courses while taking it as a corequisite with nursing will result in an
automatic withdrawal from the program. A minimum grade of "C" must be attained
for progression within the nursing sequence. In order to continue into the second
year of nursing courses, majors are required to pass the Regents Testing Program
and maintain a minimum overall GPA of 2.00.

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.

Credit for first year nursing courses may be obtained on successful completion of
challenge examinations by practical nurses who have provided a valid and current
Georgia LPN license which has been visualized and documented, who have a
minimum of 2.5 Nursing GPA, and who are accepted at Augusta State University.
A bridge course is provided for LPNs who successfully challenge the first year to
facilitate their entrance into the second year of nursing courses. Successful
completion of any of the challenge examinations does not guarantee admission to
the nursing program.

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
liberal arts education as a foundation upon which to build organizational and
managerial skills which are highly valued in the public 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. From the Office of Admissions a candidate may
obtain the application for admission and a Report of Medical History (immunization)
form. Both of these forms must be completed and returned to the Admissions
Office to begin the process of 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 ajj 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 requires
a minimum grade average equivalent to 2.5 on a 4.0 scale.

2. Official scores on the Graduate Record Examination. A minimum score of 400
on each subtest (verbal, quantitative, and analytical) is required, with at least
two of the three subtests having scores of at least 450. 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.

When the portfolio is completed, the applicant's record will be sent to the
Coordinator of the MPA Program in the Department of Political Science for review.
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
until such time as the portfolio is completed. Provisionally accepted students may
take one course. If their completed application is subsequently accepted, the
course will count toward their degree requirements.

Admissions Appeals Students who are not accepted for regular or provisional
admission to the Master of Public Administration program and who believe that
there are extenuating circumstances which affect their eligibility may write a letter
of appeal to the Coordinator of the MPA program. The appeal will be heard by the
MPA Admissions Appeals Committee of the faculty.

1 62 Academic Programs

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 60 quarter credit hours (12 courses). Of the 60 hours, 40 hours (eight
courses) constitute the core requirements. The remaining 20 hours (four courses)
are selected from among the elective offerings. In addition, the thesis/capstone
paper carries five hours credit.

Prerequisites For the applicant who has insufficient academic preparation in
political science, enrollment in an American government course is a requirement.
The prerequisite can be satisfied by taking POL 101 . Before enrolling in either PA
650 or 660, computer literacy must be demonstrated. Computer literacy can be
determined by having taken computer science or information management courses
as an undergraduate, or by examination.

Internship An internship experience is required by the MPA program for those
students who lack a significant professional work background. For those who are
working in a public or non-profit agency at the time of their enrollment in the MPA
program, a separate internship program is not required. However, the student will
utilize his or her professional work experience as the basis for completing the
thesis/capstone paper. Students who have never worked in a public agency or
non-profit organization will be matched with an appropriate organization for a six-
month internship. This internship is the basis for the student's thesis/capstone
paper.

Thesis/Capstone Paper: The purpose of the thesis/capstone paper 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 paper. Students who have completed all
required core courses shall enroll in PA 705 and begin preparing their
thesis/capstone paper. If the paper is not completed at the end of the term, a
student receives the grade of "IP" (in progress). This is changed to a grade of
either satisfactory or unsatisfactory when the paper is completed and reviewed by
the student's academic advisory committee.

Comprehensive Examination: The comprehensive examination is designed to
measure the candidate's knowledge of and competency in the field of public
administration. This is an oral examination and it is scheduled after the student has
taken all core curriculum courses and has completed at least nine of the twelve
courses required for graduation. A panel of three or more faculty members
constitutes the examining committee. The panel is selected by the student and is
subject to approval by the MPA Coordinator. The panel must be selected so that
its members have a collective knowledge of the eight core curriculum courses.

Psychology: Master of Science with a Major in Psychology

This program provides intensive master's degree-level education and training
primarily oriented toward the local and regional job markets. Thus, most students
select an applied track which emphasizes clinical and counseling psychology. In
addition, the program can serve as an opportunity for graduate work in experi-
mental psychology or to prepare for further graduate education. For such students,
a thesis option is available. For most students, this is a two-year program (6 to 8
academic quarters) containing equal amounts of advanced foundation courses,
applied course work, and supervised internship experience in treatment facilities
or research laboratories.

Facilities for Research and Internship: The department operates a psychometric
and clinical training facility and an animal and human research laboratory.
Internship assignments are made at various local agencies including two Veterans
Administration hospital branches, the Medical College of Georgia, a regional state
school and hospital for the mentally retarded, a regional state training center for
juvenile offenders, Eisenhower Army Medical Center, and others.

Advisor and Plan of Study: Initially, students will be advised by the Director of
Graduate Studies. By the completion of the first quarter of full-time coursework or
its equivalent, the student must select an academic advisory committee, headed
by a major professor and including two other department members, subject to
review by the department chair. (Students who have not done so by the beginning
of the second quarter will not be permitted to register for further coursework.) In
cooperation with the committee, the student will then develop a formal plan of
study, which must be approved and filed before the third quarter of enrollment.

graduate status after satisfactory completion of at least 10 and not more than 16
hours of admissible graduate coursework. No more than 16 hours of graduate
credit earned in a status other than as a regular graduate student may be counted
toward the graduate degree.

There is no specific deadline for submitting applications, although the majority of
openings each year are filled for the fall quarter. This is especially true for clinical
openings, since the initial courses in the clinical program curriculum are offered
only in the fall quarter. The experimental program is somewhat more flexible,
permitting a limited number of applicants to be admitted throughout the year.
Application for admission should be made several months before the anticipated
admission date. A final decision regardina admission 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.
However, students may be permitted to enroll in certain courses in a post-bacca-
laureate status while the application is being processed. Applicants to post-
graduate status and post-baccalaureate status who wish to take work in
psychology should make application through the Department of Psychology rather
than Admissions.

Summer Quarter Attendance: The program is scheduled on a year-round basis
and all students are expected to attend summer quarter. Exceptions to this policy
may be granted only by the student's advisory committee and the department chair
following a formal written petition.

Residence Requirements: No more than 15 quarter hours of credits can be
transferred from another institution. TTie student must be registered in the university
during the quarter in which requirements for graduation are completed, including
the quarter in which written and oral comprehensive examinations are taken.
Registration for the singular purpose of taking the comprehensive exam may be
accomplished by enrollment in one hour of Psychology 696.

Admission to Candidacy: Applications for admission to candidacy will not be
accepted earlier than the completion of 15 hours of satisfactory graduate work, and
must be submitted not later than the first week of the final quarter in which the
student is to be enrolled. To be admitted to candidacy, the student must have
successfully completed Psychology 651 (Experimental Design), satisfied the
criterion level for Psychology 601 , achieved a "B" average in graduate course
work, be classified as a regular graduate student, and be approved by the
Psychology Department. In order to demonstrate this departmental approval, a
student must obtain letters of endorsement from any three of the full-time
psychology faculty.

Academic and Professional Standards: An average of B is required for all
courses attempted in the program. Dismissal is probable for the student whose
GPA shows a deficit of greater than 10 quality points at any time during the
program. Work with a grade of U may be repeated once if the student's committee
so recommends.

In addition to the usual academic challenges, students must demonstrate
personal maturity, emotional stability, social competence, ethical standards, and
demeanor befitting a psychologist. These dimensions are assessed formally when
the student requests letters of endorsement from the faculty, during each
internship, and during each quarter as a student assistant. Failure to obtain letters
of endorsement precludes admission to candidacy or assignment to internship.
Unacceptable performance on an internship or an assistantship may also be
grounds for termination at the discretion of the faculty.

Comprehensive Examinations: Written comprehensive examinations represent
an integral part of each candidate's program of study. A student will be required
to take an oral comprehensive examination at the earliest practicable time following
successful completion of the written comprehensive examination. The examining
committee's response to the initial oral examination will be "pass" or "pass with
distinction" or 'continuation". "Continuation" will result in the student being
reexamined upon appropriate remediation, not sooner than five weeks and not later
than the end of the next term following the initial oral examination. The committee's
response to the subsequent examination must be "pass" or "fail". The admissibility
of all candidates to the comprehensive examination will be determined on the basis
of the criteria in effect at the time a date is set for the examination.
Policy Manual: The most current information and policies can be found in the
Policy Manual for the M.S. Degree Program in Psychology .
Time Limit: Only course work completed within the six calendar years before
completion of degree requirements will apply toward graduation.

Specialist's Degree Programs:

Specialist in Education (Ed.S), Various Majors

The Specialist in Education degree is a self-contained degree program. It provides ad-
vanced study for those preparing for positions which call for a higher level of competence
and specialization than that of the master's degree, but without the heavy emphasis on
research of the doctor's degree.

The goal of the program is to add depth and breadth to the skills and knowledge
focused upon in the student's Master of Education program. The objectives of this further
study are to provide the student with opportunities to become more proficient in teaching
strategies, program development, leadership roles, scholarly investigation, and academic
area.

Majors in this program include early childhood education; health and physical educa-
tion; middle grades education; secondary education with teaching fields in English,
mathematics, and social sciences; special education; administration and supervision, and
counselor education.

To be eligible for six-year certification, the student must have three years of acceptable
school experience.

Admission Criteria: Admission to the Specialist in Education degree program is based
upon the following criteria: (1) the applicant must hold a master's degree in the intended
area of concentration or have sufficient graduate preparation for the intended specialization
from a regionally accredited graduate institution. (2) The applicant must have earned not
less than a 3.0 grade point average in all graduate work attempted. (3) The minimum test
scores are 450 on the verbal subtest and 450 on the quantitative subtest of the GRE
General Aptitude Test, or 48 on the Miller Analogies Test. The scores must not be more
than five years old. Advisory meetings and mandatory orientations will take place during
the winter and summer quarters.

Admission Appeal: Students denied admission to the Ed.S. program may submit a written
request to the Dean of the School of Education for review of their application by the
Specialist in Education appeals committee. The committee will require the appealing
student to submit additional evidence to include satisfactory completion of a comprehensive
written exam. Additional evidence may be submitted by the student and the institution and
could include scores on other standardized tests and records of exemplary academic and
professional achievement.

184 Academic Programs

Minimum Requirements for Ed.S. Degree Completion: Only courses taken after full
admission to the Specialist in Education degree program may be used to fulfill
program/course requirements for the Specialist in Education degree. A student must earn
an overall grade point average of not less than 3.0 (B) in all graduate work attempted. A

reserves the right to add additional requirements for the Specialist in Education degree.
Program of Study: The program of study will be designed by the major professor with the
advice and approval of the student's advisory committee. The program will consist of a
minimum of 45 quarter hours of study at the graduate level beyond the master's degree.
Each student's program will be planned in such a way that the master's program and the
specialist in education program together will satisfy the following minimum requirements:

Area "A" - Psychological and/or Sociological Foundations (minimum of 10 quarter
hours with 5 quarter hours at Ed.S. level)

Area "B" - Curriculum, Methods of Problems of Teaching (minimum of 15 quarter hours

ate may not be applied to programs of study leading to the Specialist in Education degree.
Advisement: Upon admission to graduate study for the Specialist in Education degree, a
student's advisory committee will be assigned. The committee shall consist of the student's
major professor assigned by the Dean of the School of Education and two other faculty
members selected by the student in consultation with the major professor.

The major professor, with the advice and approval of the student's advisory committee,
shall plan the program with due regard to the data available from a diagnostic appraisal of
the student's strengths and weaknesses in the area of specialized preparation. The
diagnostic appraisals of educational needs will be based on analyses of records of the
student's preparation and experience, results of routine and special examinations, and
interview data. The advisory committee may require the student to undergo such additional
examinations and appraisals and to furnish such additional data relative to his/her
competence as may seem appropriate in each case.

Admission to Candidacy: Upon completion of twenty to twenty-five hours of credit earned,
it is the responsibility of the student to see that an application for admission to candidacy
is filed with the Dean of the School of Education. This application is a certification by the
Student's major professor and the advisory committee that the student has demonstrated
the ability to do acceptable graduate work in the chosen field and has made normal
progress toward the degree. The specific requirements for admission to candidacy are listed
below:

a. Certification by the Dean of the School of Education that the student is eligible
for the appropriate Georgia Level 5 certificate or equivalent. (Students who are
