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 Catalog 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.

Carol Giardina, Acting Director of Admissions Assistant Dean of Enrollment Services 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.

(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 standards that govern regularly enrolled students. You may renew your status for additional enrollment periods for a maximum of two semesters per calendar year and for a maximum of three consecutive semesters, by submitting written approval from your home institution and notifying the Augusta State University Admissions Office at least 30 days prior to the scheduled registration for the next enrollment period. If financial aid is needed, transient students must approach the home institution's Financial Aid Office to request a consortium agreement for financial aid purposes. Augusta State University Catalog 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 Co-enrollment Augusta State University and Paine College offer co-enrollment for students who want courses that are not offered at the student's home institution during a given semester or for students who have schedule conflicts that may be resolved by co-enrollment. 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 wish to register for an overload you must satisfy the overload requirements of your home institution. International Students: Special requirements If you are not a U.S. citizen or resident, ask the Office of Admissions to send you its special information and 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. 14 Augusta State University Catalog FINANCIAL INFORMATION FEES AND OTHER COSTS Registration at the beginning of each semester is not complete until all general fees have been paid and no student may be admitted to classes without having met his or her financial obligations.

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.

Augusta State University Catalog 21 FINANCIAL AID It is very important to apply for financial aid as early as possible In the calendar year you plan to enroll. Applications completed by April 15 will be given priority in awarding fall semester aid. For applications and information, contact the Office of Financial Aid, Payne Hall, 737-1431. To apply for assistance, you will need to process the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) annually. No award can be made until you have been officially admitted to the university. To be eligible to receive aid under any of the federal or state programs, you must: 1 . Be a citizen of the United States or be in the United States for other than a temporary purpose and intend to become a permanent resident thereof, or be otherwise classified as an eligible non-citizen. 2. Demonstrate financial need (where applicable). 3. Be making satisfactory academic progress as defined by the Financial Aid Office. For a comprehensive listing of the aid programs available, contact the Office of Rnancial Aid. We also encourage you to explore other financial aid opportunities. Your family background, affiliations and activities may provide keys to other sources of assistance. Publications in your local or school library or guidance office will assist you in obtaining information on scholarship programs. All scholarships awarded by the Augusta State University Scholarship Committee require an institutional application, available in the Financial Aid Office. The application deadline is March 1 for the upcoming academic year. The primary responsibility for financing a college education belongs to you and your family. Students who need financial assistance are expected to work for and borrow a reasonable portion of the funds needed to meet expenses. Your family is expected to make a maximum effort to assist in satisfying the cost of education. 22 Augusta State University Catalog ACADEMIC REGULATIONS and INFORMATION This section explains regulations that affect students after admission. Regulations regarding admission may be found in the "Admissions Policies and Enrollment" section of this catalog (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 his or her college and department and should do sufficient planning, in consultation with his or her faculty advisor, to avoid scheduling difficulties which may impede normal academic progress. The student should plan his or her program so as to meet the core curriculum, graduation, and major and minor requirements. Academic Standing and Grade Point Averages Undergraduates: There are two grade point average computations in use at Augusta State University. These computations produce a student's Institutional GPA and 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 Augusta State University Catalog 23 m GPA or Institutional GPA 1.00 0.50 2.00 1.30 2.00 1.60 2.00 1.90 2.00 2.00 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. Augusta State University Catalog 27 Deans' Lists The Deans' Lists for the College of Business Administration, the College of Education, and the Katherine Reese Pannplin College of Arts and Sciences are compiled each semester for undergraduate students. To qualify for this academic honor, a student must (1) earn nine (9) or more hours of undergraduate course work numbered 1000 or above, exclusive of K grades, (2) achieve a grade point average of 3.66 for the semester, and (3) receive no grade of I, F, or WF during the semester. Also see: "Graduation with Honors"( page 33). Developmental Studies, Rules for Students in See Learning Support, Rules for Students in (page 33) Grade Changes Any grade changes must be accomplished in the semester immediately following the semester in which the grade was originally reported. Grading System, Undergraduate Grades used in calculating the undergraduate grade point average are as follows: Grade Meanina Quality points/credit hour A Excellent 4.0 B Good 3.0 Satisfactory 2.0 D Passing 1.0 F Failure 0.0 WF Withdrew, failing 0.0 The following symbols are used in the cases indicated, but are not included in the determination of the grade point average: /: Incompleta-Student doing satisfactory work, but unable to meet the full requirements of the course because of non-academic reasons. The 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- plete degree requirements other than academic course work. V. Audit-Indicates that the student was enrolled in the course as an auditor. Students may not transfer from audit to credit status or vice versa. 28 Augusta State Universit/ Catalog K: Credit by examination. NR: Not reported-lndicates that the grade was not reported. IR. In Progress-Indicates that credit has not been given in courses that require a continuation of work beyond the semester for which the student signed up for the course. The use of this symbol is approved for project courses. *The S and U symbols are used for dissertation and thesis hours, student teaching, clinical practicum, internship, and proficiency requirements in graduate programs, and specifically designated courses. Graduation Requirements: Undergraduate All candidates for the bachelor's degree at Augusta State University must satisfy the following conditions: Students must earn 39 or more hours in upper level courses with at least 21 hours in the major and 15 to 18 total hours in the minor, 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. Augusta State University Catalog 39 WHERE TO GO for Information on Facilities, Services and Activities at ASU This section includes a wide variety of facilities, services, and activities, arranged alphabetically, which are available to members of the ASU community. Alumni Association (737-1 759) The Augusta State University Alumni Association dates back to when "Augusta College" was only a two-year institution in the mid to late 1920's. The association is composed of former students and graduates of Augusta State University and is governed by an executive board. The two main goals of the association are the following: (1) to arrange activities designed to maintain close relationships among alumni, classmates, and the university and (2) to participate in supporting the university through private support. A complimentary one-year membership is given to each graduate. Other alumni achieve active status by making annual gifts. Alumni programs are handled through the Office of Development and Alumni Relations. Athletic Association (737-1626) The Augusta State University Athletic Association is organized to encourage participation of the student body and other interested parties in the athletic and physical education programs of the university. Athletics Augusta State University is affiliated with the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA Division II) and is a member of the Peach Belt Athletic Conference. Augusta State University supports men's teams in baseball, basketball, cross country, golf (Division I), soccer, and tennis.

I'wnn-, IQUOUfTM otvx Augusta State University Catalog 53 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.

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.

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 written verbatim record. The board shall confine its deliberations to the case 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 limited to, the following: a) Copies of the written grievance, of the findings and recommendations of the board, of the written verbatim record of the hearing, and of the dean's letter notifying the parties of his/her decision. b) An explanation of the reason for the appeal. c) A specific statement of the relief which the appellant is seeking from the vice president. Augusta State University Catalog 61 2. In the case of an appeal by the student, if the vice president finds that the instructor made an arbitrary or capricious decision against the student, or one based on discrimination with regard to race, religion, sex, handicap, age, or national origin, he/she may order relief for the student, including but not limited to a change in a disputed course grade. 3. Within ten (10) days of receiving the written appeal, the vice president shall forward his/her decision to the appropriate dean, to the two parties, and to the chairs of the board and the Academic Policies Committee. In communicating this decision, the vice president shall advise the two parties of the right to appeal to the president before the vice president's decision takes effect. The vice president shall be deemed to have satisfied this requirement if he/she calls the attention of the parties to sections VI(D) and VI(E) of this document. 4. If no party makes a written appeal within five (5) days of having been notified by the vice president of his/her decision, that decision shall be considered final and vice president shall communicate it to the appropriate dean, who shall see to its implementation. D) Appeal to the President 1 . If either party wishes to appeal the decision of the Vice President for Aca- demic Affairs, he/she must do so in writing to the president of the university within five (5) days of being notified of the vice president's decision. 2. At the same time, the appellant shall give notice of the appeal to the Vice President for Academic Affairs, who shall thereupon forward to the president the materials listed above in section VI(C)1 . 3. In the case of an appeal by the student, if the president finds that the instructor made an arbitrary or capricious decision against the student, or one based on discrimination with regard to race, religion, sex, handicap, age, or national origin, he/she may order relief for the student, including but not limited to a change in a disputed course grade. 4. The president shall communicate his/her decision to the two parties, the chairs of the board and the Academic Policies Committee, the Vice President for Academic Affairs, and the appropriate dean. 5. If either party wishes to appeal the president's decision to the Board of Re- gents, he/she shall so advise the president in writing within five (5) days of receiving that decision. If no party so advises the president within those five days, the decision shall be considered final and the president shall communicate this to the appropriate dean, who shall see to its implementation. E) Final Disposition. Final disposition of the case shall be made in accordance with Article IX of the By-Laws of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia: Any person in the University System for whom no other appeal is provided in the Bylaws and who is aggrieved by a final decision of the president of an institution, may apply to the Board of Regents, without 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.

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. 68 Augusta State University Catalog Katherine Reese Pamplin College of Arts and Sciences The Katherine Reese Pamplin College of Arts and Sciences assists in development of basic skills, provides essentials of a general educatbn, and also provides advanced subject-area competence needed by involved citizens in a democratic society.

This program enables the student to determine if he or she desires a career in the military and qualifies the student for the advanced course If he or she chooses. No obligation is hcurred by attending Basic Camp. (MILS 3050, Basic Camp Summer Intemship) Compression: While the normal sequence of course wori< requires two full academic years, it is possble to compress the course work into less than two years by taking two Military Science courses during the same quarter. Compressbn is not recommended or desired, but will be considered on an individual basis by the Department Chairman. Exemption: Credit for all or part of the basic course may be granted upon presentation of evidence that the student has had equivalent training. Examples or such training are active military service, Senbr Divisbn Navy or Air Force ROTC credit, or 3 years Junbr ROTC credit. In every case, exemptbn credit must be approved by the department chairman. No academb credit is given for courses exempted under this program.
