INTRODUCTION TO AUGUSTA STATE UNIVERSITY

A Brief History of Augusta State University

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

TTie institution changed its name to Augusta College in 1 958 when it became a part
of the University System of Georgia. Augusta College continued to grow in size
and programs: the first four year degrees were awarded in 1967 and graduate
degrees in 1973. Now, more than 50 associate, bachelor, masters, and specialist
degree programs are offered. On June 12, 1996, the college became Augusta
State University.

As a member of the University System of Georgia, Augusta State University is the
primary public institution of higher learning in the state's second largest city. While
it shares the technological and innovative resources of the University System, it
maintains the historical roots that make the learning experience as unique as the
campus itself. The university is well known for its 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 (The full text of the ASU
Mission Statement appears on page 3.):

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

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, counsellors,

Augusta State University Catalog 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.

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 Regents. The overall programs and services of the University
System are offered through three major components: Instruction, Public
Service/Continuing Education, and Research.

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 sen/ice/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.

Augusta State University Mission Statement

Augusta State University is committed to excellence in teaching, advancement of
knowledge, and enrichment of the community in a climate that fosters humane
values and a life-long love of learning. With ohgins in the founding of the Academy
of Richmond County in 1783 and the creation of a separate Junior College of
Augusta in 1925, its mission is predicated on the cultural, social, and economic
value of a strong liberal arts education. This enlarges its students' individual
versatility, creative powers, cultural appreciation, knowledge of the world, respect
for others, and professional expertise.

Augusta State University strives to be a national model of excellence for its quality
of service to the second largest metropolitan area in Georgia. With a broad array
of undergraduate programs and a select offering of graduate programs below the
doctoral level, it functions as a metropolitan, non-residential university for the area.

Open to the voices of all its members, the University serves a population diverse
in race, background, age and preparation. It provides access not only to those who
are fully ready for college but also to the under prepared who show potential and
to those seeking the kind of academic challenge normally associated with elite,
private institutions.

Emphasizing student-faculty contact, the University fosters intellectual growth
through learning assistance, honors courses, and student research. It promotes
electronic infomnation technologies and links students with the world community of
scholarship.

The University collaborates with the Medical College of Georgia, Paine College,
Augusta Technical Institute, Fort Gordon, and P-12 schools. It makes constant,
programmatic use of local industries, agencies, and institutions as laboratories for
practical learning experiences. In an area with a large health care industry, it
provides undergraduate general education courses for the Medical College
students, prepares students to enter programs at that institution, and educates
others who work in the medical field. It is also the principal source of training for
the area's teachers and business leaders.

Augusta State University is acutely conscious of its responsibility to a community
where its graduates become teachers and artists, professionals and civic leaders.
It seeks to serve: enriching its area culturally, improving economic and social
conditions, and promoting personal and professional development. To these ends,
the University cultivates intellectually vital faculty members who are excellent in
teaching, active in research, generous in service, and committed to its mission.
The University also strives to have its faculty, staff, curriculum and programs reflect
the increasing diversity of the population and world from which its students come.

Devoted to constant improvement, the University assesses its performance by
evaluating its stewardship of resources, responsiveness to area needs,
involvement with its community, the response of the public it serves, and, most
importan tly, the success of the students it educates.

ADMISSIONS REQUIREMENTS

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

Freshman Admissions Requirements

Every applicant for freshman admission must be a high school graduate from a
regionally accredited or Georgia Accrediting Commission (GAC) recognized
secondary school. High school students who receive a "Certificate of Attendance"
do not satisfy the graduation requirement. Applicants with GED certificates must
present official certificates (issued and sent directly by the testing center or State
Board of Education) with scores that meet the requirements for the issuing state.
In addition, to gain regular admission to the university, the applicant must have
completed the entire College Preparatory Curriculum (CPC), 15 units, in high
school. The required CPC is listed below:

English: 4 Units Required

Mathematics: Algebra, 2 Units Required; Geometry, 1 Unit Required
(Freshman applicants for 2001 and beyond will be required to
have completed an additional unit of higher mathematics.)

Science: 3 Units Required.

Social Science: 3 Units Required.

Foreign Language: The same foreign language, 2 Units Required.

(Freshman applicants for 2001 and beyond will be required to have
completed 2 additional CPC units.)

GED applicants (who should have graduated from high school in the past five
4 Augusta State University Catalog

years), or home-schooled students (whose program is not regionally accredited)
and students who have attended high schools not regionally accredited or
approved by the GAC will be required to submit SATII subject examinations to
validate their CPC requirements. The SAT II schedule and score requirements are
listed below:

SATII SUBJECT TEST PROPOSED SCORE

English Writing 520

American History & Social Studies 560

Math 10 500

Biology 485

Chemistry 540

Physics 590

Summer/Fall 1998: Five (5) SAT II Subject Tests
English Writing
Math IC

American History & Social Studies
Chemistry, Biology or Physics

One additional test from the following: Literature, World History, an
additional science - Chemistry or Biology or Physics

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 30 semester hours eamed.
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 freshmen admissions, the most important
consideration is the Freshman Index. The Freshman Index is determined by a
formula which uses two variables: the high school average computed on academic
courses, and the SAT (or ACT) scores. The following formula is used:

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

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

Freshman Index > 1830

S>4r Verbal score of 430+ and a SAT Math score of 400+ or comparable

ACT scores. (Original SAT Verbal of 350+; Math of 350+)
College Preparatory Curriculum (CPC), 12 units, must have been completed

in high school.

Augusta State University Catalog 5

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

Freshman Index > 1500

S/^ 7 Verbal score of 330+ and a SAT Math score of 310+ or comparable

ACT scores.

College Preparatory Curriculum (CPC) must have earned 12 units 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
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 Department of Learning Support, unless the diagnostic testing
indicated the applicant will not be benefitted by the Program, in which case the
student will be denied. If, after one academic semester has passed, the applicant
can document attempts to improve his or her academic skills, he or she may be
reconsidered for admission.

ADMISSION TO UNIVERSITY COLLEGE

University College is a two-year unit of Augusta State University designed to assist
Georgia students who live within a fifty mile radius but do not meet the admissions
requirements for the university. Applicants who do not meet regular admissions
standards will be reviewed for consideration for admission to University College.
To be considered for admission, the student must have either 11 college
preparatory units and a freshman index equal to or greater than 1400 or a
freshman index below 1500 and 1 1 or more college preparatory courses.

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

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
S Augusta State University Catalog

qualified in a particular subject may receive credit for a course by an exannination
approved by the appropriate instructional department, or through the College Level
B(amination 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 six semester hours at
Augusta State University. Courses in which a student is or has been enrolled may
not be challenged, and courses which require demonstrations and application of
skills (practical, laboratory sciences, and courses requiring field work or 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 10 semester hours in a discipline and 30 semester hours in the university.

A current list of tests available for credit by examination for courses offered at
Augusta State University may be obtained from the Counselling and Testing Center
or the Office of Admissions.

Early Admission Requirements for Higti Sciiooi Students: Under exceptional

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 14 transferable semester hours (20 quarter 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 Examination
(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 Learning Support 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. Under the 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. Transfer
students are divided into three categories as listed below for regular admission:

Fewer than 30 transferable semester hours: Meet prevailing freshman
admissions requirements for regular or limited admission and have at lest a 1 .9
GPA.

At least 30 transferable semester hours but not 24 semester hours of
transferable core curriculum credit (Areas A-E), including College Composition
I and either College Algebra or Introduction to Mathematical Modeling: must
take all three parts of the Collegiate Placement Examination, unless they
meeting freshman entrance requirements.

All others: Have at least a 2.0 GPA and must have satisfied all Learning
Support requirements.

Augusta State University Catalog

Applicants who do not meet the transfer requirements for regular admission and
who present unusual and extenuating circumstances should set up an interview
with an admissions representative after the application process is complete. The
Admissions Appeal Board will review the appeal for consideration for admission
before any final action is taken. 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 requirement.

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 eamed 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 of permission confimiing good standing from the registrar of
the college in which you are enrolled or matriculated. In addition, submit an
official transcript from your home institution. 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. 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

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 ASU,
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 semesters, you must apply for readmission
through the Office of the Registrar at least 30 days before the desired semester of
re-entry. In order to determine degree requirements as a returning student, see the
entry for "Graduation Requirements" in the "Academic Handbook" section of this
catalog.

Augusta State University-Paine College

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

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

10 Augusta State University Catalog

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.

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

home institution.

International Students: Special requirements

its special information and an international application 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 (ENG 11 01). A minimum total
score of 500 is required for admissions consideration. The test scores should be
forwarded directly from the testing agency to the Office of Admissions.

All international academic post-secondary 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
"Intemational Students" in the "Waivers" section (page 21).

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 semester of entrance. The Certificate of Eligibility (Form 1-20) cannot
be forwarded to you until an offer of acceptance has been extended.

Augusta State University Catalog 11

Preparation of Application Materials

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

The application and all supporting documents should be received by the
Admissions Office no later than 30 days prior to the beginning of the semester in
which you plan to enroll. Applications and documents received after this deadline
will be processed, however, no guarantee can be made for admission for that
semester. A $20.00 non-refundable application fee must accompany the
application. A high school candidate may submit an application for admission after
the junior year is completed.

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

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

Required Documents: Undergraduates

It is the responsibility of the applicant to request that official documents required for
admission be sent directly from the previous institutions to the Office of Admissions.
Documents that have been 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 retumed. Candidates are considered
when all required documents have been received. Notification of acceptance is by
mail. The Office of Admissions needs the following:

Official Application Form. A candidate seeking admission must file an official
undergraduate application for admission prior to the specified deadline. An
application may be obtained from the Office of Admissions and local high
schools. Care should be taken to read the directions accompanying the
application and provide all information requested. An incomplete application will
cause delay and may be returned to the candidate.

Application Fee ($20, Non-refundable). This processing fee is required from
all undergraduate applicants who have not previously enrolled at ASU.
Official Transcript(s) of Courses Completed. A freshman candidate should
ask his or her guidance department to send an official copy of the secondary
school record. A transfer candidate should ask the registrar from each ac-
credited college attended to send an official transcript of grades (a separate
transcript from each college). A holder of a GED certificate must request that an

12 Augusta State University Catalog

official score report be sent to the Augusta State University Admissions Office.
Documents must be received by the Office of Admissions before the acceptance
is final.

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

Immunization. All new students enrolling in schools within the University
System of Georgia are required to provide proof of immunization for mumps,
measles, and rubella or to provide a valid reason for exemption. This
documentation, including dates of all required immunizations and the signature
and address of a health care provider, must be submitted to the appropriate
admitting office prior to registration for classes. Certificate of Immunization forms
are available in the Office of Admissions. Failure to meet this requirement will
prohibit registration for classes.

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 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 achfevement and will enter at an advanced
level and receive some college credit. Other students will enter Leaming Support
courses that attempt to provide the experience and counselling designed to aid the
student in overcoming his or her academic deficiencies.

Admissions Notification.

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
incomplete 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 semester only. Registration for the
succeeding semester will not be permitted unless the required document has been
received.

Augusta State University Catalog 13

Under certain conditions, the university may release admissions decisions to high
schools and colleges.

Preparing for Registration

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

Graduate students should consult with their departmental advisers. For under-
graduates, the best first resource is the university's START UP Center (731-7979).
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 Washington Hall, the START UP Center is open from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday
through Thursday, and until 4:30 p.m. on Friday during the semester. Between
academic semesters, the office closes at 4:30 p.m. l\/londay 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.

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

REGENT'S REQUIREMENTS FOR GEORGIA RESIDENT STATUS

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

Students are responsible for registering under the correct residence classification,
for notifying promptly the residence auditor of incorrect residence classifications or
changes of residence status, and will be liable for additional fees. For example,
residence status may change for students if their parents' states of legal residence
change or if their visas change. Individuals who are classified by Augusta State
University as non-resident but who later claim to qualify as legal residents must file
a "Petition for Georgia Residence Classification" form with the residence auditor
in the Office of the Registrar. Residence status is not changed automatically, and
the burden of prof rests with the student to demonstrate that he or she qualifies as
a legal resident under the regulations of the Board of Regents of the University
System of Georgia. To insure timely completion of required processing, a

18 Augusta State University Catalog

student/applicant requesting a change of residence classification for a specific
semester should file the "Petition for Georgia Residence Classification" and all
supporting documentation not later than three weeks (15 working days) prior to
registration. Decisions prior to registration cannot be guaranteed when petitions
and all supporting documentation are received after the specified deadline.

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

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

OBJECTIVE STANDARDS FOR ACQUIRING IN-STATE STATUS

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

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

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

Augusta State University Catalog 19

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

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

b. Payment of ad valorem (property) taxes.

c. Payment of Georgia income taxes.

d. Reliance upon Georgia sources for financial support.

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

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

g. Ownership of a home or real property.

h. Admission to a licensed practicing profession on Georgia.

i. Long term military commitments in Georgia.

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

permanently,
k. Acceptance of an offer of permanent employment in Georgia.
I. Location of spouse's employment, if any.
m. Address of student listed on selective service (draft or reserves) registration.

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

a. Voting or registration for voting.

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

c. The lease of living quarters.

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

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

f. Location of bank or saving accounts.

WAIVERS

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

Military Personnel. Active duty military personnel and their spouses and legal
dependents stationed in Georgia may qualify for waiver of non-resident tuition.
Military personnel should contact the Education Center at their installation for
information about current financial and other assistance available to them as
members of the armed forces. All military personnel planning to use military tuition

20 Augusta State University Catalog

assistance programs to defray expenses associated with matriculation at Augusta
State University should be sure to coordinate with the Director of Admissions for
guidance as to procedures.

International 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 semester immediately
preceding the semester 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
pemianent residence shall have the same privilege of qualifying for in-state tuition
as a citizen of the United States. (Also see "International Students: Special
Requirements", page 11.)

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 conceming this type of enrollment may be obtained from the
Office of Admissions.

ACADEMIC REGULATIONS and INFORMATION

This section explains regulations that affect students after admission. Regulations
regarding admission may be found in the "Admissions Policies and Enrollment"
section of this catalog (page 4).

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

normal academic progress. The student should plan his or her program so as to
meet the core curriculum, graduation, and major and minor requirements.

Academic Standing and Grade Point Averages

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

The Institutional GPA was first put into effect at Augusta State University in Spring
Quarter 1 989 and was modified in May of 1 994 and again in February of 1 997. The
current rules apply regardless of the student's enrollment date. A student's
Institutional GPA is used only to detemiine whether or not institutional requirements
concerning probation, suspension, and graduation are being met by the student.
The performance measured by the Institutional GPA is of interest only within the
institution.

Computations: The Regent's GPA is computed by dividing the total number of
hours attempted that count in a GPA at Augusta State University (that is, those
hours for which a grade of A, B, C, D, F or WF has been earned) into the total
number of quality points (sometimes called grade points) eamed on those hours
(See Grading System, Undergraduate; page 28). A GPA is determined for each
student at the end of each semester. It is similar to the Regent's GPA, but is based
only on the hours attempted that semester.

To determine the Institutional GPA, first compute the number of hours attempted
by summing together those hours associated with the most recent attempts of
courses taken at Augusta State University numbered from 1000 through 4999 in
which a grade of A, B, C, D, F, or WF has been eamed. The Institutional GPA is
computed by dividing the hours attempted into the number of quality points eamed

on those hours. All grade point averages are truncated at two decimal places.
They are not rounded up. Hours accumulated at Augusta State University by a
transfer of credit or an approved examination process are not used in computing
any grade point averages. They are, however, used in determining the credit level,
which is discussed next.

Probation and Suspension: The credit level is the sum of all institutional hours
attempted, plus all transfer credit hours, plus all credit hours accumulated on credit
earned with grades that do not count in the GPA's, such as S and K. The credit
level is a rough measure of the actual amount of time a person has attended
college. It is not the same as the total of the hours earned towards a degree. It is
an important concept because it has an effect upon probation and suspension.
Students who earn an Institutional GPA (or Academic Renewal GPA, see below)
of less than 2.00 will be placed on academic 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
1 -- 16
17-- 29
30- 59
60 -- 80
90 and above

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

After the mandatory period has passed, students suspended for academic deficiencies
may be considered for reinstatement by petitioning the dean of the appropriate college.
The petition must be submitted in writing to the dean at least thirty days prior to the
desired semester 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 Learning Support program as a condition
of reinstatement. See Learning Support, Rules for Students in (page 33).

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.

24 Augusta State University Catalog

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

Restrictions: All Learning Support 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 semesters of re-enrollment or one calendar year. A
student can be granted academic renewal status only once.

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

Disadvantages: Any credit eamed with a grade of "D" is not retained. All suspensions
count towards the number of suspensions received. Financial aid policies regarding
Satisfactory Academic Progress are still in effect. The minimum grade point average
needed for admission to particular programs may or nfiay not utilize the new Instltutbnal
GPA (see the requirements for the desired program). Both the new Institutional GPA
and the Regent's 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 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 eamed on those hours. (The Institutional and Regent's GPA's
are identical.) 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
Graduate Programs section of this catalog.

Additional Baccalaureate Degree

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

Augusta State University Catalog 25

Auditing a Course

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

Class Attendance

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

It is recognized that the degree of class attendance may vary with the student, the
professor, or the course. It is also recognized that, on occasions, it may be
necessary for the student to be absent from scheduled classes or laboratories for
personal reasons. On such occasions, all matters related to 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 semester, make a clear statement to
all their classes regarding their policies in handling absences. Professors will also
be responsible for counselling 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 and one half weeks of absences from a class,
regardless of cause, the student is subject to being withdrawn from the class at the
discretion of 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.

Classification

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

26 Augusta State University Catalog

Course Changes

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

Course Repeat Policy

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

If a lower division course (numbered 1000 through 4999) is repeated, only the last
grade received is used in the calculation of the Institutional Grade Point Average
(IGPA). See "Academic Standing and Grade Point Averages (GPA)", page 23.

Course Substitution

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

Curriculum Changes

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

maximum time for completing course work to remove an I is one semester;
otherwise, the I will be automatically changed to F.

W. Withdrawal, without penalty-The W will be assigned if the student officially
withdraws from the course by semester midterm, unless the student has
been charged with academic dishonesty. A grade of WF will be assigned
after midterm unless the student withdraws because of non-academic
hardship and has a passing average at the time of withdrawal.

S : Satisfactory*-lndicates satisfactory completion of degree requirements other
than academic course work.

Lt. Unsatisfactory *-lndicates unsatisfactory performance in an attempt to com-

teaching, clinical practicum, internship, and proficiency requirements in graduate
programs, and specifically designated courses.

Graduation Requirements: Undergraduate

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

Students must earn 39 or more hours in upper level courses with at least 21 hours
in the major and 15 to 18 total hours in the minor, 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 require a minor field.) Together with the core curriculum and electives
and/or foreign language, statistics, and computer science courses, depending on
the major, these requirements will normally total 120 hours, not including the
physical education requirement. Specific graduation requirements for under-
graduate programs in the Katherine Reese Pamplin College of Arts and Sciences,
the College of Education, and the College of Business Administration are found in
the "Undergraduate Programs" section of this catalog.

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

Graduation Exercises: Degrees are conferred formally at the close of the spring
semester (in May) and at the close of the fall semester (in December). Students
who complete all requirements for the degree by the end of spring semester
receive degrees in May. Students who complete all requirements for the degree
by the end of the summer term or fall semester 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 pemiitted to graduate if
he or she is in default on any payment due to the university.

Augusta State University Catalog 29

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

Core Curriculum: The core curriculum was developed by the University System
of Georgia for the purpose of facilitating the education of students as they pursue
baccalaureate degrees within and among the units of the University System. It
includes 60 hours of lower level courses that would normally be covered in the
first half of a baccalaureate degree program. A student who completes the
requirements of the core, or any area of the core, will have the assurance that
credit for all of this work can transfer to any other unit of the University System.
All candidates for the bachelor's degree at Augusta State University must
satisfactorily complete the core curriculum. The list of courses in the core
curriculum is presented at the beginning of the Undergraduate Programs section
of this catalog (page 65).

Course Requirements: Complete a minimum of 60 hours for the associate
degree or 120 hours for the baccalaureate degree (exclusive of credit earned in
lower division Physical Education courses) as specified for the candidate's
program. There will be a minimum of 39 hours of upper division courses
required for students graduating with the baccalaureate degree.

Credit from Other Institutions: See 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 semesters to another institution will be required to complete a
new application for graduation and will be subject to the requirements for
graduation in effect at that time; or if readmitted, will be subject to the
requirements in effect at the time of readmission.

English 1101 and 1102, When to Enroll: (a) Students must enroll in English
1101 no later than the first semester they register following completion of 20
hours of Augusta State University residence/transfer credit, (b) Students must
continue to register for English 1101 each successive semester until they have

30 Augusta State University Catalog

completed the course with a grade of "C" or better, (c) Students who complete
1101 must enroll in English 1102 no later than the first semester they register
following completion of 30 hours credit, (d) Students must continue to register for
English 1102 each successive semester until they have completed the course
with a grade of C or better.

Grade Point Average: Achieve an Institutional grade point average (see page
23) of at least 2.00 on all work attempted at this university or an academic
renewal grade point average of at least 2.00 on all work since the date of
academic renewal (if the student is eligible for academic renewal and elects to
accept academic renewal).

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

Legislative Requirements: An act of the 1 975 session of the Georgia legislature
provides that all graduates are required to have passed an examination on the
History of the United States, the History of Georgia, and on the provisions and
principles of the United States Constitution and the Constitution of Georgia.
Examinations are administered each semester. No academic credit is given for
these examinations. They are scheduled and administered each semester by the
Counselling and Testing Center and are posted in Bellevue Hall.

Certain history and political science courses (i.e., HIST 2111, HIST 2112, POLS
1101) 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.

Ptiysical Education Requirement: Complete the required courses in physical
education as described below:

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

Wellness and Fitness (3 hrs.)
Activity Classes:

Swimming (1 hr.)

Elective (1 hr.)

The swimming requirement may be satisfied by taking any course numbered
from 1400 to 1410. The elective may be a repeated course offering, but it is
suggested the student take advantage of this opportunity to develop other skills
by taking another elective.

Augusta State University Catalog 31

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

Wellness and Fitness (3 hrs.)

Swimming (1 hr.)

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

(A) Wellness and Fitness Course (3 hrs.):

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

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

(B) Activity Courses:

Swimming Requirement: Any student may elect to take a swimming
proficiency exam to be offered each semester. This exam, when
passed, will waive the swimming requirement. However, an activity
class elective must be successfully completed in place of the swimming
requirement.

Residence Requirements and Credit from Other Institutions: If seeking an
associate degree, complete in residence at Augusta State University a minimum
of 20 hours of academic credit. If seeking a baccalaureate degree, complete in
residence at Augusta State University a minimum of 30 hours of academic credit
In courses numbered 3000 and above. At least one-half of the major
concentration and at least one-half of the minor concentration must be completed
in residence at Augusta State University.

The amount of credit that the university will allow for work done in another
institution within a given period of time may not exceed the normal amount of
credit that could have been earned at the university during that time. A maximum
of 62 hours of credit earned in a junior college may be applied toward a degree.

Regents' Testing Program Examination: Demonstration of proficiency in
reading and writing skills by passing all parts of this examination. The
examination is administered each semester and students are advised when they
are eligible and must take this examination. Transfer students who are eligible

32 Augusta State University Catalog

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.

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

Learning Support, Rules for Students in

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

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

a. When two or three Learning Support courses are required and a student is
enrolled in at least one Learning Support course, up to two hours credit may
be taken that semester instead of a required Leaning Support course; those
two hours may only be selected from freshman orientation (ASUO1000),
Physical Education, Military Science, or Music.

Augusta State University Catalog 33

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

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

a. Mathematics 0096, 0097, and 0099 are prerequisites for Mathematics 1111;
English 0097 and 0099 are prerequisites for English 1 101 ; Biology 21 1 1 and
Biology 21 12; Reading 0097 and 0099 are prerequisites for English 1 101 .

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

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

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

4. Students who do not complete the requirements for passing each required area
of Leaming Support after a maximum of three (3) attempts per area, or two (2)
attempts at an area without satisfactorily completing the 0098 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 semester in which a student
receives any grade except "W".

If a student does not complete requirements for an area in twelve semester
hours or three semesters, whichever occurs first, the student will be suspended.
The student may not be considered for readmission within three years of the
suspension.

Prior to suspending a student who has not exited a Learning Support area within
the three semester limit, the Department of Learning Support will allow the
student to appeal for one additional course. The student must:

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

* be in an exit level course, and

* have reached the limit on only one Developmental area

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

34 Augusta State University Catalog

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

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

S: satisfactory (passed course work, passed institutional requirement, passed

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

failed CPE)
U: unsatisfactory (failed course work, ineligible to attempt institutional

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

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

Load-Overload, Academic

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

(3) the student is granted permission by his or her dean, even though he or she

is not eligible under the above conditions.

Augusta State University Catalog 35

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

Majors

A major concentration normally requires a minimum of 21 hours. (Also see
"Graduation Requirements: Undergraduate," page 29) Grades below C are not
accepted for courses In a major concentration. Some departments or colleges
require general educatbn 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 college. A student pursuing a degree program
may declare a multiple major, in which case a minor concentration will not be
required. The student must complete all requirements for each major. Upon
completion, the multiple major will be recorded on the permanent record. For
details on a specific major concentration, see the "Undergraduate Programs"
section of this catalog.

Minors

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

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

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
Regents' Test.

36 Augusta State University Catalog

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 1101 and 1102 or
English 1 1 1 1 or have earned 30 hours of credit must take the Regents' Test
the next semester in which they are enrolled. Students who fail to take the
test at this time will not be allowed to register for subsequent semesters 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 30 or more credit hours of transfer credit must take the Regents'
Test no later than the second semester 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 1 101 or 1 102 If they have not
satisfactorily completed these courses or English 0510 and/or 0520 if they
have completed these courses: students who have earned 75 hours of credit
or more must take English 0510 and/or 0520 (as appropriate) for remediation
whether or not they have completed English 1101 or 1 1 02.

2. Students required to enroll in English 1101, 1102, 0510 and/or 0520 as
required above must meet all requirements of these courses. Students
required to take English 1101, 1102, 0510, and/or 0520 may not take an
overload or withdraw from this class. Students who miss the equivalent of
one week of class will be withdrawn from the class, prohibited from taking the
Regents' Test that semester, and made ineligible to register at Augusta State
University for the following semester.

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

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
rconvenient or because they have already registered for the current semester
should not expect to have their appeals approved.

F) Review of Essay:

A student may request a formal review of his or her failure on the essay

Augusta State University Catalog 37

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 11 01 and 1 102. 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 0520 and take the copy of the essay to his or her
first class. The instructor will review and mark the essay indicating if he or she
thinks the essay should be appealed. If the instructor and the student agree that
the essay should be appealed, they will submit an unmarked copy of the essay
to a committee consisting of three faculty members appointed by the Vice
President for Academic Affairs. If the student does not concur with the 052
instructor's evaluation of the essay, he or she may appeal the essay by
inmediately 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 per-
ceived errors In ratings. The review is not automatically indicated by a student's
failure to pass the essay. A review Is indicated only when there is substantial
question concerning the accuracy of scoring and when the criteria set forth in the
first sentence of this section on Review of Essay have been met.

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

Transient and Co-enrolled Augusta State University Students

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

A student who has attempted a course at Augusta State University and received a
penalty grade In that course may not take the course at another institution and
transfer it back to Augusta State University. (Penalty grades include F's, and WF's
r all courses, and D's, F's and WF's In English 1 101 , English 1 102, and major and

38 Augusta State University Catalog

minor courses.) A statement granting permission to attend another accredited
Institution will be provided by the Augusta State University Registrar after
department or college approval has been obtained.

Unit of Credit (The Semester System)

Wherever this catalog uses the term "hours," it is referring to "semester hours" as
understood within the semester system. Augusta State University is organized on
this system. Each of the two semesters in the regular session covers a period of
approximately 16 weeks, which Includes 15 weeks of Instruction. The summer
session is 1 1 weeks, with some courses being offered in one of two half sessions.
Each half session has 23 class days. The "semester hour" Is the unit of credit in
any course. It represents a recitation period of one fifty-minute period a week for a
semester. A course meeting 150 minutes a week would thus give credit of 3 hours
when completed satisfactorily. For credit purposes, 2 to 3 laboratory or activity
hours are usually counted as the equivalent of one recitation class period. Also see
"Course Repeat Policy", page 27.

Witfidrawal from a Course

The responsibility for initiating a withdrawal resides with the student. Fomns 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
hstructor to officially withdraw from a course. An instructor may withdraw a student
for excessive absence. (See "Class Attendance", page 26, for attendance policies
and "Grading System", page 28, for grading policy upon withdrawal.) The official
date of withdrawal is the date the Withdrawal Form is received In the Office of
Student Records.

44 Augusta State University Catalog

from a qualified professional. The Board of Regent's criteria for evaluations nnust
be followed in the documentation of learning disabilities or attention deficit
disorders.

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

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

Learning Disabilities (LD): If you have been diagnosed within the last three years
or believe that you have a learning disability, you should contact the Coordinator
of Disability services for information relating to LD documentation and testing. The
Office of Disability Services does not provide testing for learning disabilities.
Referrals to the appropriate University System Board of Regents Testing Center,
however, can be received through this office. Testing may also be conducted by
a qualified professional utilizing the BOR criteria for outside evaluations {only
assessments using the BOR criteria for outside evaluations will be accepted as
documentation of a learning disability). In assisting students with learning
disabilities, Augusta State University follows the definition and criteria for evaluation
established by the Board of Regents of the University system of Georgia.

For more detailed information contact the Office of disability Services in the
counselling and Testing Center at 706-737-1471 (TDD-706-667-4175). The
counselling and Testing Center is located in Bellevue Hall.

Endowed Professorship Positions

The Fuller E. Calloway Chair: In 1968, the Calloway Foundation created a ten
million dollar trust to encourage the enrichment of the academic programs of 33
senior colleges and universities in Georgia by providing funds for the establishment
of forty professorial chairs. The trust was designated to enable these institutions
to retain and add superior faculty members. Faculty members appointed to these
chairs must be full professors who have demonstrated superior teaching abilities
and have achieved distinction as teachers. The chairs are for teaching at the
graduate and undergraduate level on a full-time basis.

The Cree-Walker Chairs: The Cree-Walker Professorships in Business
Administration, Communications, and Education were established in memory of the

Augusta State University Catalog 45

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 adnninistration was
established to help in bridging theory to practice and maintaining links between the
College of Business Administration and the community. The chair in
communications is intended to be a catalyst to enhance the interlace between the
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.

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
46 Augusta State University Catalog

problem in the United States. The medical, social, legal and ethical issues
associated with HIV/AIDS affect colleges and universities as well as society as a
whole.

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

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

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

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

2. DISABLING CONDITIONS: Persons who are HIV positive may be considered
by law to have disabling conditions. The legal rights of these individuals must
be guaranteed, and existing support services for disabled individuals made
available to students or employees disabled by HIV infection.

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

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

5. SELF-DISCLOSURE: Neither students, student applicants, employees, nor
applicants for employment at Augusta State University will be routinely asked
to respond to questions conceming 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

Augusta State University Cataiog 47

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 WELLNESS

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 conceming HIV status neither justifies nor requires
waming others of the presence of someone with HIV/AIDS . Situations in which
disclosure will be made will be determined on a case-by-case basis in
consultation with counseling services.

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

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

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

48 Augusta State University Catalog

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.

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 are available in the Office of Student Services in Boykin Wright Hall.

Library (737-1744)

Reese Library, the infomiation center of Augusta State University, provides a wide
variety of services that promote the educational purposes of the university. A
collection of over 400,000 volumes, including an extensive collection of government
documents and almost 1200 current periodical subscriptions, supports student
learning and research. There are quiet study areas, conference rooms, a
curriculum laboratory, photocopiers, CD-ROM databases, online databases,
Internet access, an audio laboratory, and computer laboratories.

library materials. GALILEO, a statewide computer system, provides a wealth of
additional information resources with over 100 databases, ten with the full text
online. Searching is available at terminals in the library and at various campus
locations. For students with personal computers, remote access to ATLAS and
GALILEO is also available. Other electronic information resources are available
in the library, on the campus computer network, and by remote access. Contact
the Reese Library reference department (737-1748) for current availability and
access procedures. Materials from other libraries may be accessed through
interlibrary loan. For assistance, professional librarians are available in the
reference room at all times. Library tours and instructional sessions are provided

student Rights and Responsibilities

Academic Honesty

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

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

1. Cheating on an examination of any type: giving or receiving, offering or 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
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.

54 Augusta State University Catalog

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

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

1 . Confront the student and make the charges known.

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

3. Decide what action is appropriate.

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

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

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
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
dishonesty file, and either let the "WF" stand or make some other
recommendation. The final decision shall be made by the faculty member.

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

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

Augusta State University Catalog 55

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."

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.

Student Academic Appeals

(also see "Student Academic Grievances", page 57)

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
S6 Augusta State University Catalog

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", page 56)

The following grievance procedure primarily applies to alleged violations of a
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
supen/isor 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.

Augusta State University Catalog 57

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

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

In the following document, the term "faculty" shall be construed to mean those
persons defined as "faculty" by the Bylaws and Policies of the Board of Regents,
the Statutes of the University and those persons appointed by the President to
administrative positions at the institution.

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

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

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

B) If agreement is not reached within five (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.

56 Augusta State University Catalog

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
detemiine 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 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.

Augusta State University Catalog 59

4. Give written notice to both parlies 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.

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

presented.

60 Augusta State University Catalog

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 shall forward the folbwing 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 parly 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 oase 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

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

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

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

62 Augusta State University Catalog

prejudice to his/her position, for a review of the decision. The application
for review shall be submitted in writing to the Executive Secretary of the
Board within a period of twenty days following the decision of the
president. It shall state the decision complained of and the redress
desired. A review by the Board is not a matter of right, but is within the
sound discretion of the Board. If the application for review is granted, the
Board or a committee of the Board or a Hearing Officer appointed by the
Board, shall investigate the matter thoroughly and report its findings and
recommendations to the Board. The Board shall render its decision
thereon within 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.

Confidentiality of Student Records

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

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

AUGUSTA STATE UNIVERSITY HONORS PROGRAM

The ASU Honors Program offers superior students the opportunity to pursue a
program of study that leads to recognition as Augusta State University Honors
Program Graduate. Balancing breadth and depth, the ASU Honors Program
includes sections of core courses specifically designed for able and energetic
learners, seminars that cross the boundaries of discipline and/or culture, a thesis,
and the possibility of additional honors work in the major field. The Honors
Program is not a separate degree program, but is designed to augment the course
work required for a degree. In most cases, honors courses can be substituted for
required credits. The Honors Program is temporarily housed in Butler Hall D7
(667-4445,737-1500).

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

Honors Program Classes

Honors classes differ in kind from other classes. They are usually smaller; they
involve more interaction with the instructor; they encourage independent work and
collaboration among students and between students and professors. Often
professors in honors courses see themselves more as facilitators than as
instructors or lecturers, and, when possible, guide students to work with primary
materials. Honors classes ask students to explore course work more actively and
intensively, but students are not evaluated on a more demanding grading scale
than in other courses.

Recognition

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

Program Requirements

To earn recognition as an ASU Honors Program Graduate, a student accepted into
the program must complete the requirements below and have an overall GPA of
3.4. Should the GPA drop below the required 3.4, the student will be allowed to
continue in the program on probationary status as long as the GPA does not drop
below 3.2, and as long as it is reasonable to expect that the GPA will rise to the 3.4
required at graduation.

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

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

Junior/Senior Requirement:

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

* a second section of HONR 3900,

* a departmental honors course (departmentally approved independent study
or a regular departmental offering with an additional honors component), or

*an approved honors alternative - 3 semester hours

Augusta State University Catalog 67

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

HONR 3999: Thesis Prospectus--1 semester hour

HONR 4000: Honors Thesis--2-3 semester hours

HONR 4500: Honors Capstone--1 semester hour

Taken in the senior year, ideally in student's last term.

Eligibility and Admissions

Students may seek entry into the Honors Program by submitting to the Chair of the
Honors Program Committee: (1) an application form, and (2) either a letter of
intent in which the student introduces herself and tells what she will contribute to
the Honors Program through her participation or an essay of 200 to 300 words in
which the student defines his personal and professional goals. The letter or essay
is a way of introducing oneself to the program, not a basis for determining whether
or not a student will be admitted.

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

(1 ) Combined SAT scores (recentered) of 11 60 or more and a cumulative high
school GPA of 3.2 or better.

(2) Combined SAT scores (recentered) of 1 100 or more and a cumulative high
school GPA of 3.5 or better.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Students must apply for admission into the nursing program due to limited enrollment.
Admlssbn to Augusta State University is required to apply for admissbn to the nursing
program. Interested students must have an interview with a nursing faculty advisor and
submit the application for admission to the nursing program into the nursing office
before March 1 for the subsequent Fall semester program start. Enrollment is limited
to a specific number based on spaces and resources available. After acceptance into
the nursing program, students will have additional requirements related to health
hsurance, liability hsurance, CPR certiflcatbn, physbal examinatbn, Immunizatbns and
TB skin test. Informatbn regarding these additbnal requirements will be provided to
students after acceptance.

Applbants for admissbn to the nursing program starting Fall Semester, 1998 will be
expected to meet the following requirements:

Must be accepted for admissbn to Augusta State University.

Must meet with nursing advisor.

Must have an adjusted Nursing Grade Point Average (NGPA) of at least 2.5
(computed GPA from grades of core courses required for nursing program using
most recent attempt of a repeated course). An applbant may have no more than
one repeat of each core course required for the nursing program.

Must have an overall Cumulative GPA of 2.00 or above.

Must submit applbatbn for admissbn to the Department of Nursing by March 1 .

Selectbn of applbants will be based on a ranked* score of the adjusted NGPA and a
weighted score based on semester core courses completed by the end of Spring
Semester of the year of applbatbn. Prbrity will be given to applbants who have
completed the Anatomy and Physblogy sequence (BIOL 2111, BIOL 2112)
satisfactorily.

Applicants who have failed a nursing course(s) from another program will be required
to meet all the above criteria. In additbn, they will be required to submit two letters of
reference from the prevbus program; one from the Chair/Director of the program and
the other from the clinbal faculty member in the course that was failed. Decisbn to
admit these students will be on a case-by-case basis by the entire ASU nursrig faculty.
Placement in the nursing curriculum at ASU will depend on course descriptbns and
content outlines of nursing courses successfully passed from the prevbus institutbn.

Advanced Placement Requirements for Practical Nursing Students

Must meet admission requirements for nursing program

Must be a graduate of a Practical Nursing program of the State of Georgia or an
NLN accredited out-of-state program

Must hold a current and valid Practical Nurse License from the State of Georgia

LPN students who are within 3 years or less since graduation from their practical
nursing program will be eligible for advanced placement into the second semester of
the nursing curriculum (Nursing 1102). Credits for Nursing 1101, Foundations of
Nursing Practice, will be held in escrow until the student has satisfactorily passed
Nursing 1102.

LPN students who are within 3-5 years since graduatbn must have a minimum of 1000
hours of nursing experience approved by the Augusta State Department of Nursing
faculty within the year prior to application. The student will be eligtole for advanced
placement into Nursing 1102 with credits for Nursing 1101 held in escrow until
successful completion of Nursing 1102.

Students who have graduated from their practical nursing program 5-i- years prior to
application will be required to demonstrate competence through testing for advanced
placement rto Nursing 1 102. To be eligible for testing, a minimum of 1000 hours of
nursing experience approved by the Augusta State Department of Nursing faculty is
required within the year prbr to application.

Augusta State University prenursing students are those who have declared Nursing as
their major and are working on required core courses before seeking admissbn to the
nurshg program. They will be advised by faculty in the Department of Nursing, ft is
highly recommended that the Bblogy sequence (Human Anatomy and Physblogy I and
II) and English 1101 and 1102 be completed before applying for admissbn into the
nursing program. Selectbn into the nursing program is based on the number of core
courses completed and the GPA derived from those core courses required for the
nursrg program. A minimum overall grade point average (Cumulative GPA) of 2.00
and a Nursing GPA of 2.5 is required for consideratbn of admissbn into the nursing
program. A minimum grade of "C" is required in English 1101 and 1102, Human
Anatomy and Physblogy I and II (BIOL 21 1 1 and BIOL 21 12), and Mbrobblogy (BIOL
3110). These minimum grades must be attained before entry into the second year of
the nursing program. A grade of "D" in Human Anatomy and Physblogy I or II (BIOL
2111 or BIOL 2112), or Mbrobblogy (BIOL 3110), will automatbally preclude the
student from registeitig for the subsequent nursing course in the program. (This does
not apply to prenursing students.) Withdrawal from Human Anatomy and Physblogy
I, Human Anatomy and Physblogy II, or Mbrobblogy while taking it as a co-requisite
with a nursing course will result in an automatb withdrawal from the program. A
minimum grade of "C" must be attained for progressbn 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
(Cumulative GPA).

College of Education

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

Mission of the College of Education

The College of Education is committed to excellence in the preparatbn of teachers,
counselors, and administrators for servbe with diverse populatbns in a wide variety of
educational settings. The professbnal educators involved in the varbus preparatbn
programs prepare students for today's classrooms through a collaboratively developed
series of courses and appropriate field experiences while demonstrating outstanding
teaching techniques and procedures from relevant research and best practbe.

The College of Educatbn is committed to relevant research and other scholarly
activities leading to the advancement of knowledge and good practbe in the total
learning and schooling process of children. Research is conducted in collaboratbn with
students, pubib school practitbners, and colleagues from other colleges to detemiine
those things that work, do not work, and/or need to be revised in order to maxinize the
leaming opportunities for children.

The College of Educatbn is committed to a servbe missbn whbh provides leadership
h the development and dissemhatbn of relevant knowledge to address the wide range
of challenges faced by students, parents, teachers, counselors, and administrators in
the leaming and schooling process.

Conceptual Framework Principles

All teacher preparatbn programs are shaped and guided by a set of prhciples whbh
describe what students should know and be able to demonstrate at the end of their

Augusta State University Cataiog 167

course work and field experiences. Adopted from the work of the Interstate New
Teacher Assessment and Support Consortium (INTASC) which was established to
translate the National Board for Professbnal Teaching Standards' advanced
certification requirements for highly accomplished teachers, into performance-based
standards for beginning teachers, the following principles were adopted by the faculty
in the College of Education in the spring of 1996. Students who complete a teacher
preparation program at Augusta State University will:

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

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

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

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

5. Use an understandrg of rdividual and group motivatbn and behavbr to create
a leaming environment that encourages positive social Interactbn, active
engagement in leaming, and self -motivatbn.

6. Use knowledge of effective verbal, nonverbal, and Informatbn technology
techniques to foster active hquiry, collaboratbn, and supportive interactbn in the
classroom.

7. Plan instructbn based upon knowledge of subject matter, the leamers, the
community, and currbulum goals.

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

9. Be a reflective practitbner who continually evaluates the effects of his/her
choices and actbns on others (students, parents, and other prof essbnals in the
leamrg community) and actively seeks the opportunity to grow professbnal ly.

10. Foster relatbnshps with school colleagues, parents, and agencies In the larger
community to support the leaming and well-being of all students.

Degree Programs

Undergraduate and graduate degree programs are offered through the departments
of Teacher Development, CIrlcal and Professbnal Studies, and Kinesblogy and Health
Science. Undergraduate degree programs In secondary educatbn for teachers of
English, History, mathematbs, polltbal science, science, social studies, and preschool

Accreditations

The preparation programs offered by the College of Educatbn at Augusta State
University are accredited by the Professional Standards Commissbn (PSC) of the state
of Georgia and the Natbnal Council for Accreditatbn of Teacher Educatbn (NCATE).
This accreditatbn includes the basic and advanced levels of the prof essbnal educatbn
programs offered at ASU through the College of Educatbn and the collaborative
programs with the Pamplin College of Arts and Sciences.

Admission to Teacher Education

Students may become "an educatbn major" at the time of applbatbn to the university
or at any poht thereafter by selecting one of the teacher preparatbn programs offered
h the college. Admission to teacher education, however, is a separate function
and requires that the student meet all college, department, and program criteria.

The following minimum admissbn criteria apply to all students seeking admissbn to
Teacher educatbn. In some fields of study, additbnal requirements may apply.
Students should check with the appropriate department to detemihe these special
requirements.

1 . A cumulative grade port average of at least 2.5 (4.0 scale) on all undergraduate
course work taken at Augusta State University. (For students transferring course
work to ASU, an overall cumulative grade point average of at least 2.5 on the
combined transferred and ASU course work is required.)

2. A grade of "C" or better in ENGL 1 101 and ENGL 1 102.

3. A grade of "C" or better in MATH 1 1 1 1 or MATH 1101.

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

5. For students in the early childhood, middle grades, secondary, and P-12
programs, a grade of "C" or better is required on all Core courses util'ized
in the certifbatbn program. For secondary and P-12 students, a
cumulative grade point of at least 2.5 (4.0 scale) is required on all upper

Augusta State University Catalog 169

division courses taken as part of the major in which the student is seeking
certification.

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

7. Successful performance on the Praxis I at the following scores: CBE:
Mathematics 321 ; Reading 322; and Writing 321 . Pre-professional:
Mathematics 176; Reading 176; and Writing 174.

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

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

Admissbn to Teacher Education is a prerequisite for all upper division level professional
education courses. Students who are not admitted to Teacher Education will not be
allowed to enroll h these courses. The Grade Point Average for admission to Teacher
Educatbn is calculated ushg all course wor1< attempted by the student. In cases where
a course has been repeated, the last grade earned in the course will be utilized to
calculate the cumulative grade point average.

Advisement

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

Advisement Prior to Admission to Teacher Education Students who have not
been admitted to Teacher Education are advised by the College of Educatbn's
Undergraduate Advisor or designated college faculty (early childhood). Located in
Butler Hall, Suite E, these individual are available to assist students with a wide-
range of scheduling and planning issues.

Advisement After Admission to Teacher Education Students who have been
admitted to Teacher Education are assigned a faculty member in their specialized
area. This faculty member will assist students in planning programs of study to
meet the requirements of the selected field of study.

Clinical and Professional Field Experiences

The teacher preparatbn programs at Augusta State University place a strong emphasis
on "hands-on" experiences with professional educators in actual classroom settings.
Students should expect a field experience as a part of most courses in the preparatbn
process. In some cases, entire courses will be taught in a pubib school setting. Clinbai
and field experiences are monitored for each student to insure that they have had the
opportunity to work with diverse populatbns in a wide variety of educatbnal level and
settings.

Due to the sensitive nature of working with children in the pubIb schools, the
Department of Publb Safety at Augusta State University will conduct a background
review of all students at two specif b points in the preparatbn program. The first check
will be made as part of enrollment in EDUC 2101 - Historbal and Philosophbal
Foundatbns of Educatbn (for secondary and P-12 educatbn majors as part of the

170 Augusta State University Catalog

admissbn to Teacher Educatbn process). Only students wtio present a record free of
criminal and/or disciplinary activity will be allowed to enter a public school classroom.
The second check will be made as a prerequisite to entering the apprenticeship
experience. Students who are admitted to the apprenticeship experience must have a
record free of criminal and/or disciplinary activity.

Apprenticeship Experience

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

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

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

3. A cumulative grade point average of at least 3.0 on all upper division course
work in the major (ECED, MGED, SPED). For secondary and P-1 2 education
majors, a cumulative grade point average of at least 2.5 is required on all
content courses utilized as part of the major and a cumulative grade point of at
least 3.0 is required on all professional education courses.

4. Successful completbn of the Comprehensive Portfolb.

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

6. Verificatbn of physbal health appropriate to the requirements of a classroom

7. The written recommendatbn of the student's academb advisor.

Due to the htensive nature of the experience, students may not enroll h any additbnal
course work during the Apprentbeship Semester.

Recommendation for Certification

Professbnal teacher certificatbn is granted by the Professbnal Standards Commissbn
upon the recommendatbn of the College of Educatbn. In order to be eligble for a
recommendatbn for certifbatbn in the field of study, a student must:

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

2. Successfully complete the Apprentbeship Experience.

3. Eam a passing score on the PRAXIS II examinatbn in the appropriate
certifbatbn field.

College of Business Administration

The College of Business Administration prepares students for leadership and service
in business, the professions, and government, and for becoming responsible citizens
and leaders in society. Viewing organizations as operating in a dynamic social,
political, and economic environment, the College has determined the following as its
mission:

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

Our teaching helps students develop professional competence, enhance the quality of
their lives, and appreciate the need for continuous leaming and renewal. Our programs

community and the business professions. We provide service to the University in
faculty governance, to the community through professional, civic, and charitable
activities, and to the business professions through involvement in professional
organizations and programs.

The College of Business Administratbn is advised and supported by an advisory board
chaired by Mr. H. M. Osteen, Jr., Retired Chairman of the Board, Banker's First. TTiis

Prerequisites and Course Sequencing

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

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

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

POLITICAL SCIENCE Master of Public Administration Degree

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

Admissions Procedures and Requirements: The Department of Political
Science will provide written materials and answer inquiries about the Master of
Public Administration program, but application must be made through the Augusta
State University Office of Admissions. The process begins when a candidate
submits the application for admission. Thereafter, the applicant assembles
materials for a portfolio which is opened for him or her in the Admissions Office.
The applicant is responsible for having the following materials placed in the
portfolb:

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

2. Official scores on the Graduate Record Examination. A minimum score of
400 on each subtest (verbal, quantitative, and analytical) is targeted, 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.

5. Medical History Form (available from Admissions Office)

When the portfolio is completed, the applicant's record will be sent to the Director
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

190 Augusta State University Cataiog

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 a student's completed application is subsequently accepted, the course will count
toward his or her degree requirements.

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 30 semester credit hours. Of the 36 hours, 24 hours (eight
courses) constitute the core requirements. The remaining hours are selected from
among the elective offerings, culminating in a capstone course of 3 semester
hours.

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 POLS 1 101 . Before enrolling in either
PA 6500 or 6600, computer literacy must be demonstrated. Computer literacy can
be determined by having taken computer science or information management
courses as an undergraduate.

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 organizatbn 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.

Comprehensive Examination: The comprehensive examination is designed to
measure the candidate's knowledge of and competency in the field of public
administration. This oral examination is scheduled after the student has taken all
core curriculum courses and has completed at least nine of the twelve courses
required for graduation.

PSYCHOLOGY Master of Science Degree in Psychology

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

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

Augusta State University is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and
Schools. Presently, there is no official accreditation authority for master's programs
in psychology. However, the Department and Its faculty members maintain active
relationships with the discipline's various governing and professional bodies, such
as the American Psychological Association (APA), American Psychological Society
(APS), Council of Graduate Departments of Psychology (COGDOP), Council of
Applied Master's Programs in Psychology (CAMPP), and North American
Association of Master's in Psychology (NAMP).

Admission Procedures and Requirements

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

Inquiries are encouraged especially from members of minority groups and older
persons, from human service personnel employed by local community agencies,

Augusta State University Catalog 193

and from persons possessing otherwise adequate credentials but who may have
a deficit in a single credential such as quantitative GRE scores or freshman grade
point average, or who may lack specific undergraduate preparation in psychology.
In such cases, the department may use appropriate other information in the
admission decision, and may require satisfactory remediation of any academic
deficits prior to full acceptance.

The minimum admission requirements are:

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

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

3. A score of 400 on each of the verbal, quantitative and analytical portions of the
Graduate Record Examination taken within the past 5 years, with at least two
scores being 450, or higher.

4. Satisfactory letters of recommendation and transcripts.

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

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

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

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

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

Financial Aid and Graduate Assistantships

Students are expected to arrange their own means of paying tuition and other fees.
Persons requiring financial assistance should first contact the Office of Financial Aid
to inquire about funding alternatives, including the Work Study Program and
low-interest loans. The department offers a limited number of graduate
assistantships which reduce tuition and provide a monthly income in return for
services to the university. These are assigned on a competitive basis each
semester from among those students applying or recommended by the faculty.
The award of an assistantship one semester is not a guarantee of future awards,
and the university and department reserve the right to modify the number and
conditions of awards as necessary.

Degree Requirements

The Master of Science in Psychology requires the satisfactory completion of a
minimum of 45 semester hours of graduate work, including Professional and

194 Augusta State University Catalog

Ethical Foundations (PSYC 6190), Research Methods I and II (PSYC 6121 and
6122), and six semester hours of either Internship (PSYC 6196, 6197 and/or 61 98)
or Thesis and Research (PSYC 6199). Beyond this, an individualized plan of study,
as approved by the student's Academic Advisory Committee, is used to establish
specific course requirements and to determine whether the student will be in the
thesis or internship track. For either track, at least 36 of the 45 total hours required
must be earned in the major field; and no more than 6 of the 45 total hours may be
earned in PSYC 6196, 6197, 6198, and/or 61 99.

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

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

Comprehensive written and oral examinations are an integral part of the program
of study, and are designed to measure the student's knowledge of and competency
in the field of psychology, to include conceptual, language, interpersonal and
professional competencies commensurate with an advanced degree. The
admissibility of candidates to the comprehensive examination will be based on the
criteria in effect at the beginning of the semester in which the examination is to be
taken.

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

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

Typical Plan of Study

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

College of Education

ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS

GRADUATE PROGRAMS

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

Graduate degrees in the College of Education are designed to build on previous
course work and clinical and field experiences developed and delivered within the
context of the conceptual framework principles. Utilizing experience gained through
the undergraduate preparation process and the required two years of full-time
teaching experience, these degrees have very specialized objectives and
expectations. For example, the Master's degree, utilizing previous educatbnal
preparation, prepares individuals to become "master teachers," counselors or
administrators in the chosen field of preparation. They are designed to extend and
enrich the knowledge base, understandings, and pedagogical repertoire of the
student by providing the opportunity for the utilization of critical thinking and
analytical abilities to produce individuals with the ability to question and create new
curricular programs, relate classroom practice(s) to research in order to contribute
to the professional knowledge base, extend best practice, offer collaborative
assistance to colleagues, and generally become the "Best of the Best" in the school
settings.

The specialist degree provides the experiences necessary for these master
teachers to develop the knowledge, skills, and dispositions necessary to transcend
instructional expertise and become "school leaders" and change agents from the
platform of the public school classroom. Because of these specialized objectives,
each degree program has very special admlssbn requirements, which must be met
by the student.

Degrees and Programs of Study

The College of Education offers the Master of Education (M.Ed.) and Educatbn
Specialist (Ed.S.) degrees in the following areas:

Early Childhood Education

Middle Grades Education

Special Education (Interrelated at Ed.S. level)

College of Business Administration

MASTER OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION PROGRAM

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

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 33 semester hours (11
courses) of required course work plus 3 semester hours (1 course) of elective.
Students who must take some or all of the foundation courses may require up to
54 semester hours of course work, including the foundation courses. Specific
course requirements for each student are determined by the student's previous
academic experiences and are approved by the Director of Graduate Studies.

Up to 9 semester hours (3 courses) of required or elective MBA course work, with
grades of "B" or higher, may be transferred from other accredited graduate
programs with approval of the Director. Basic computer literacy (word processing,
spreadsheet software) is required of all entering MBA graduate students and may
be acquired through formal academic courses, on-the-job experience, or self study.

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

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 eam a maximum of 6 semester 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 9 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 6000-level course.

Augusta State University Catalog 221

Application Requirements

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

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 Admissbn 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 as a regular graduate student are:

Bigbility 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 in
either case.

The eligtoility index, used widely in business schools as a predictor of performance
r 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, College of Business Administration. The appeal will be heard by the
Graduate Admissbns Appeals Committee which consists of representative faculty
of the College of Business Administration.

GMAT

The Graduate Management Admission Test is a standardized examinafion
administered by the Educational Testing Service. The test is a computer-adaptive
test and is offered three weeks per month, six days per week throughout the year
at computer-based testing centers throughout the country, including Sylvan
Learning Center in Augusta, GA. The test does not attempt to measure specific
knowledge obtained in college course work or achievement in any particular subject
area. It does cover basic mathematical skills and the ability to reason quantitatively
as well as reading comprehension and writing ability. Persons who take the test
should request that their scores be reported to the College of Business
Administration at Augusta State University. The test must be taken and scores
must be reported before the deadline for applicatbns for a particular semester.
The application deadline for each quarter may be obtained from the graduate office
in the College of Business Administration.

Applications to take the GMAT and more detailed infomiation may be obtained from
the graduate studies office in the College or by writing to: Graduate Management
Admission Test, Educational Testing Service, P.O. Box 6103, Princeton, New
Jersey 08541 -61 03.
