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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

(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.) Student Services Fee. A quarterly $25 Student Services Fee is charged to each student. This fee defrays expenses for essential student services not covered in the instructional and educational budget. 30 How to Enroll at Augusta State University $528.00 $1821.00 44.00 152.00 25.00 25.00 45.00 45.00 2.00 2.00 $600.00 $1893.00 15.00 15.00 20.00 20.00 free free 3.00 3.00 4.00 4.00 3.00 3.00 10.00 10.00 Athletic Fee.

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.

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, How to Enroll at Augusta State University 31 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. REFUNDS Official Full Withdrawal from the University. A student who officially withdraws with a clear record within the time specified below may receive a refund of mandatory student fees as indicated. Refunds will be made before the end of the quarter in which the withdrawal is made. To receive 100 percent refund of fees, a student must withdraw on or before the first day of scheduled classes.

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. 34 How to Enroll at Augusta State University 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. Academic Handbook 39 Admission to Candidacy: Look under "Graduation Requirements" for graduate students' requirements. Advanced Placement: See "Step 1" in the "How to Enroll at Augusta State University" section of this catalog. 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. Callaway Chair: See "Endowed Professorships." 40 Academic Handbook 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.

Cooperative Education: See the "Introduction to Augusta State University" section of this catalog, under "Work Experience in Your Field of Study." Core Curriculum: See "General Education." 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)". 42 Academic Handbook Credential Misrepresentation: See "Academic Honesty." Credit by Examination: See "Non-Traditional Studies, Credit for."

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. Double Major: See "Majors." 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 System. It provides the basic course of study that would normally be covered in the first half of a baccalaureate degree program. University policies on the core curriculum are governed by those of the University System and by the university's statement on goals in general education, which follows: Knowledge: Upon completion of their general education requirements, students will have acquired college-level knowledge in the following areas: 1. The contemporary world, including its history, geography, institutions, interdependence, belief systems, political and economic systems, Academic Handbook 49 predominant cultures, and major global issues and problems. 2. The United States, including government, institutions, resources, history, and problems. 3. Human behavior, including individual and group behavior, and the forces and factors that govern such behavior. 4. The arts, including the forms and elements of the literary, musical, and visual arts, and the major ideas and works which have shaped western culture. 5. Mathematics and the sciences, including concepts, terms, and pro- cedures common to the sciences, the processes of systematic experi- mentation, and the implications of scientific and technological progress. Skills: Upon completion of their general education requirements, students will have acquired college-level skills in the following areas: 1 . Thinking, including the ability to integrate new information with information previously acquired, and to solve complex problems which require abstract and critical thinking. 2. Communication, including the ability to read, write, listen, and speak at an appropriate level for college work and their careers, using standard English in formal contexts, and basic competence in at least one foreign language. 3. Mathematics, including the skill to solve problems and interpret quantitative information in a variety of disciplines. 4.

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.

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" History Requirements: See "Graduation Requirements: Undergraduate" and "Special Legislative Requirements." 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.

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.

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. Academic Handbook 71 MBA Foundation Courses: ACC 502 Financial Accounting for Managerial Control ECN 501 Economic Concepts FIN 515 Foundations of Finance MGT 563 Management and the Business Environment MSC 525 Quantitative Methods for Managers Required MBA Core Courses: (50 quarter credit-hours) ACC 602 Accounting Systems for Planning and Control ECN 601 Economic Topics and Issues for Management FIN 603 Managerial Finance MGT 606 Organizational Behavior MGT 635 Ethics in Business Decision Making (2 hours) MGT 636 Communication for Managers (3 hours) MGT 727 Strategic Management and Organizational Policy MIS 610 Information Systems Management and Applications MKT 604 Marketing Management MSC 600 Applied Business Research MSC 605 Operational Planning and Data Analysis 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 08541-6103.

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. 74 Academic Handbook Assistant Professor: Arbaugh, T.; Cronk, R.; Eisenman, G.; Grubb, J.; Long, K. Cree-Walker Professor of Education: Paulette P. Harris Department of Health and Physical Education Professor: Harrison, R.D., Chair Associate Professor: Forbus.W.; Gustafson, R.P. 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. Academic Handbook 83 Suspension: See "Academic Standing and Grade Point Average (GPA)" 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.

Coastal Area Teacher Education Service (CATES) Persons wishing to take CATES courses should apply for admission to the university prior to the deadline for admission or have been formerly admitted and be in good standing. The university makes no prior commitment that courses taken in the CATES program will apply toward a degree. However, courses successfully completed in CATES may be applied toward a degree provided: (1) appropriate graduate admission is held at the time of enrollment in the course(s); (2) the student has cleared all plans with his/her advisor and received approval to include the course in a planned program of study. Course credit to be applied toward a degree at Augusta State University must be taken under the provisions outlined under Graduate Admission. A maximum of fifteen hours of CATES credit may be applied toward a master's degree at the university. Students desiring degree credit should obtain approval of their advisor and register for CATES courses which are cross-listed by Augusta State University or submit course substitutions requests for other CATES courses. Teaching Certificates: Renewal and Reinstatement Persons holding Georgia teaching certificates may renew or reinstate these certificates, whenever necessary, by earning course credit at Augusta State University to fulfill State Department of Education Certification requirements. Persons desiring to do this must obtain approval for each course taken from the Professional Standards Commission.

Thesis Requirements: See "Graduation Requirements" for the "Graduate Student 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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

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. 150 Academic Programs Nursing: Associate of Science in Nursing (continued) Core Requirements (55 hours) Nursing 103 (Care of Patients Affected with Biology 111, 112 (Human Anatomy Mental Health Dysfunctions) 4 and Physiology I, II) 10 Nursing 104 (Nursing Care of Biology 31 1 (Introductory Microbiology) 5 Maternal-Newborn) 4 English 101, 102 (College Composition I, II) 10 Nursing 201 203 204 (Care of the Adult E rr d n uS H P u rsr iopmsn,in . t?^. 1 ******** Psychology 101 (Principles of Psychology) 5 Dysfunctions I, II, III) 22 Sociology 101 (Introductory Sociology) 5 Nursin 9 202 (Nursing Care of Children) 4 Political Science 101 (American Government l)5 Nursing 205 (Issues and Trends) 1 History 21 1 or 212 (American History I, II) 5 Mathematics 107 (CollegeAlgebra) 5 Graduation Requirements (6 or 9 hours) Physical Education 191 (Physical and .. .' , . .

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.

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.

After receiving all required information, the Psychology Graduate Admissions Committee will make an admission decision and the Director will inform the applicant. The applicant may appeal this decision to the department chair. The Psychology Graduate Admissions Committee consists of the Director and two other members of the psychology faculty appointed by the chair of the department. Admissions requirements are: 1 . Completed requirements for the bachelor's degree in a regionally accredited college or university. 2. A minimum grade point average equivalent to 2.5 on a 4.0 scale. 3. A minimum of 400 on each subtest (verbal, quantitative, and analytical) on the Graduate Record Examination taken within the past 5 years, with two of the subtest scores being at least 450. 4. Satisfactory letters of recommendation and transcripts. 5. A 150-200 word statement regarding personal and professional goals with respect to graduate study at Augusta State University. 6. International students whose native language is other than English must submit the examination scores of the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) and a financial form provided by the Office of Admissions. Persons meeting all admission requirements will normally be accepted as regular graduate students. Provisional graduate students must petition for regular 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. Academic Programs 167 Psychology: Master of Science in Psychology, continued 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.

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.
