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

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

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

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

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

A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

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

This catalog describes our programs, lists our courses, and explains the
procedures and policies of the university. I encourage you-as students-to use it
for these purposes. I also encourage you to look at the listing of our faculty. Note
their names, their fields of study, and the dozens of superb universities from
which they earned advanced degrees. They are the key to the success of
Augusta State University and its students.

If you have any questions about academic programs or services, please consult
the directory of administrative offices at the back of this catalog. Our Office of
Admissions (706-737-1632 or 800-341-4373) can answer any inquiries about
admissions criteria, enrollment procedures, or the transfer of credit from other
institutions.

Welcome to Augusta State University!

Sincerely yours.

William A. Bloodworth, Jr., Ph.D.

INTRODUCTION TO AUGUSTA STATE UNIVERSITY

A Brief History of Augusta State University

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

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

As a member of the University System of Georgia, Augusta State University is the
primary public institution of higher learning in the state's second largest city.
While it shares the technological and innovative resources of the University
System, it maintains the historical roots that make the learning experience as
unique as the campus itself. The university is well known for its 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 begins 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 (1866 Southern Lane, Decatur,
Georgia 30033-4097: Telephone number 404-679-4501) to award Associate's,

Augusta State University Catalog 1

Bachelor's, Master's and Specialist's degrees. All courses offered at Augusta
State University, other than those identified as developnnental/rennedial, are
acceptable as either requirements or electives applicable in at least one of the
degree programs at Augusta State University as authorized by the Board of
Regents of the University System of Georgia. The College of Business
Administration is fully accredited by the AACSB-The International Association for
Management Education. All teacher education degree programs for elementary,
special, secondary, and P-12 teachers, administrators, counsellors, 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 -4 research universities, 2 regional universities, 13 state
universities, 2 state colleges, and 13 two year colleges. These 34 public
institutions are located throughout the state. The University System's mailing
address is 270 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

2 Augusta State University Catalog

of several types, including short courses, seminars, conferences, lectures, and
consultative and advisory services in a large number of areas of interest. Typical
college-degree-credit public service/continuing education courses are those
offered through extension center programs.

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

Augusta State University Mission Statement

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

individual versatility, creative powers, cultural appreciation, knowledge of the
world, respect for others, and professional expertise.

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 page 5 for hours and phone numbers.)

Freshman Admissions Requirements

Normal Freshmen. Every applicant for freshman admission must be a high
school graduate from a high school accredited by a regional accrediting
association (such as the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools) or the
Georgia Accrediting Commission, the Georgia Private School Accrediting
Commission, the Accrediting Council for Independent Study, or from a public
school regulated by a school system and the State Department of Education.
High school students who receive a "Certificate of Attendance" do not satisfy the
graduation requirements. In addition, to gain regular admission to the university,
the applicant must have completed the entire College Preparatory Curriculum
(CPC), 18 units, in high school. The required CPC is listed below (16 units):

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

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

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

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

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 criteria may be required to submit SAT or ACT scores.

If life enrichment students can provide official SAT verbal > 500 and SAT math

prepared.

Transfer Student Admissions Requirements

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

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

(2) At least 30 transferable semester hours but not 24 semester hours of
transferable core curriculum credit (Areas A-E): Take the CPE. Students
who have completed the equivalent of English 1 1 01 with a C or better will
be exempt from the verbal sections of the CPE (English and Reading).
Students who have earned credit for College Algebra or Mathematical
Modeling will be exempt from the mathematics section.

(3) 30 transferrable semester hours: College Composition I and either
College Algebra or Mathematical Modelling. These students must have
at least a a 2.0 or greater for non-probationary entrance. All others will
be reviewed for possible entrance into Augusta State University on
probation, or University College.

"fO Augusta State University Catalog

Transfer applicants who fall into category #3 will be reviewed as follows; students
with 30-59 transferrable hours with <2.0 overall GPA and learning support
requirements met if transferring from a system school, or students with 60+
transferrable hours with <2.0 overall GPA 'will be reviewed for possible entrance
into ASU or University College.

Students transferring into ASU with 17 or more semester hours and an overall
transfer GPA of <2.0 will be admitted on probation. Students admitted on
probation must achieve at least a 2.0 GPA in their first term at Augusta State
University to revoke the probationary status. Those who fail to achieve a 2.0 will
be placed on suspension.

The transfer applicant whose only attendance has been at a regionally accredited
technical college in a "Non-College Transfer Program" is considered a freshman
applicant and must satisfy freshman admission requirements.

Evaluation of Transfer Credit. An evaluation of accepted transferable credits
is made by the Office of the Registrar. A complete transfer evaluatbn report will
be mailed to the student once he or she is accepted by the university and all
official transcripts have been received from each college previously attended.
The basic policy regarding the acceptance of courses by transfer is to allow credit
for courses completed with satisfactory grades in other regionally accredited
colleges, provided the courses correspond in content to courses offered at
Augusta State University. Additional validation will be required for courses taken
at another institution that were previously completed with a penalty grade at
Augusta State University. In addition, credit earned at accredited technical
colleges may not transfer unless the credit was earned in a designated college
transfer program.

Advanced Placement Credit and Credit by Examination

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

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

Augusta State University Catalog 11

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

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

university.

A current list of tests available for credit by examination for courses offered at
Augusta State University may be obtained from the Counseling and Testing
Center, (706)737-1472).

Additional Degree Admissions Requirements

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

(1) File a completed application form.

(2) Submit official transcripts from all colleges attended.

(3) Complete an interview with an admissions officer.

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), post-
baccalaureate, postgraduate, or audit student. A candidate for this type of limited
enrollment seeks instruction in particular courses for personal or professional
purposes, or for completion of degree requirements at another institution.

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:

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

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

Senior Citizens Admission Requirements

Georgia residents 62 years of age or older are eligible to enroll in units of the
University System free of charge on a space available basis. Senior citizjens from
Aiken and Edgefield Counties qualify for the contiguous county tuition waiver and
pay in-state tuition and fees. (See Waivers, page 23.) Senior citizens who pay
tuition are not required to register on a space available basis.

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,

Augusta State University Catalog 13

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 from Paine College
are offered on a space available basis, after the registration period for Augusta
State University students.

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, official transcript, and immunization
form 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 permanent 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.

^^ Augusta State University Catalog

The prescribed method tor demonstrating English proficiency is the Test of
English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). The TOEFL is required for freshman,
non-native English speaking applicants who completed secondary school outside
the U.S. Secondary School System or who completed high school within the U.S.
Secondary School System. The TOEFL is also required of the transfer applicants
who lack credit for College Composition I (ENGL 1 101). A minimum total score
of 500 on the paper based or 173 on the computer based TOEFL is required for
admissions consideration. In addition to the TOEFL, international students must
provide official SAT I scores. The test scores should be forwarded directly from
the testing agencies to the Office of Admissions.

Students who state on their application for admission that their native language

is other than English are required to take the TOEFL as described above, and

placement in the first semester English classes is based on this score as follows:

TOEFL score of 600 or higher: The student is admitted and placed in English

1 101 Z, a special section of Freshman English for non-native speakers.

TOEFL score of 550 to 599: The student is admitted to University College

and placed in English 0091 and Reading 0091.
TOEFL score of 500 to 549: The student is admitted to University College
and placed in English 0090 and Reading 0090.

All international academic post-secondary transcript(s) must be forwarded to the

following agency for a "catalog match" evaluation before the Office of Admissions

can process your application for admissions.

email: eval@ece.org

To see if you are eligible for resident tuition fees, see the paragraph on

"International Students" in the "Waivers" section (page 24).

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.

ADMISSIONS DECISIONS AT AUGUSTA STATE UNIVERSITY

Graduate and undergraduate appiications to Augusta State University are
considered on an individual basis. After all required data has 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 achievement and will enter at
an advanced level and receive some college credit. Other students will enter
Learning Support courses that attempt to provide the academic experiences and
counselling designed to aid the student in overcoming his or her academic
deficiencies.

Undergraduate Admissions Decision Notification

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. 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. Monday
through Friday.

^^ Augusta State University Catalog

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 the 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.

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.

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

Tuition and fees may be paid in the Business Office using cash, check, financial
aid credits, Visa, MasterCard, or Discover. Credit card payments and financial
aid credits may also be applied to your account by telephone, using ASTRO, or

returned check given to pay tuition and fees. If the check is not cleared within the
specified period, the check is given to Public Safety for collection. A check given
during Priority Registration that is not honored by the bank, and not cleared by the
first day of the term, will result in cancellation of the student's enrollment.

Augusta State University reserves the right to withhold all records (diplomas, tran-
scripts, etc.) and/or revoke enrollment of students who fail to meet financial

REFUNDS

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

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

20 Augusta State University Catalog

Example: Fall semester 2000 contains 108 calendar days, calculated as described
above. The student withdraws on the 50th calendar day of the semester.

50 divided by 108 = 46.3 % (This is referred to as the "earned portion.")

100% minus 46.3% = 53.7% (This is referred to as the "unearned portion.")

Refundable institutional charges multiplied by 53.7% = amount refunded to

student.

Official withdrawals must be made through the Registrar's Office. Refunds are

computed on the number of credit hours a student is enrolled in at the end of late

registration. Matriculation, student activity, transportation, technology, and athletic

fees are refundable. Parking fees are non-refundable.

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

Unofficial Withdrawal from the University. No refund will be made to a student
who leaves the university without filing official withdrawal forms with the
Registrar's Office. The student may also be given an F or WF for any course in
which he or she is still enrolled.

Reduction in Course Load Initiated by the University. If the university drops
a course from the semester's schedule, each student affected will be refunded the
difference between total fees paid and charges on the course work remaining.
Reduction In Course Load Initiated by the Student. Students who reduce their
course load before the end of the official add/drop period resulting in a reduction
of the matriculation fees will receive a 1 00 percent refund of the fees for the
courses reduced. No refund will be made for a reduction in credit hours after that
time. Dropped classes will not appear on the permanent records.

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,

Augusta State University Catalog 21

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

Petitions for Georgia Residence Classification and all supporting documentation
must be filed with the residence auditor no later than 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.

^ Augusta State University Cataiog

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 1 2 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.

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

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

b. Payment of ad valorem (property) taxes.

c. Payment of Georgia income taxes.

d. Reliance upon Georgia sources for financial support.

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

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

g. Ownership of a home or real property.

h. Admission to a licensed practicing profession in Georgia.

i. Long term military commitments in Georgia.

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

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

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

a. Voting or registration for voting.

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

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 5).

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 1989 and was modified in May of 1994 and
again in February of 1997. The current rules apply regardless of the
student's enrollment date. A student's Institutional GPA is used only to
determine whether or not institutional requirements concerning
probation, suspension, and graduation are being met by the student.
The performance measured by the Institutional GPA is of interest only
within the institution.

Computations: The 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) earned on those hours (See Grading System,
Undergraduate; page 32). 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

2^ Augusta State University Catalog

been earned. The Institutional GPA is computed by dividing the hours
attempted into the number of quality points earned on those hours. All
grade point averages are truncated at. two decimal places. They are
not rounded up. Hours accumulated at Augusta State University by a
transfer of credit or an approved examination process are not used in
computing any grade point averages. They are, however, used in
determining the credit level, which is discussed next.

Probation and Suspension: The credit level is the sum of all Institutional
hours earned, plus all credit hours 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 suspen-
sion. 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.

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

After the mandatory period has passed, students suspended for academic
deficiencies may be considered for reinstatement by petitioning the dean
of the appropriate college. The petition must be submitted in writing to the
dean at least 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 Leaming Support
program as a condition of reinstatement. See Leaming Support, Rules for
Students in (page 37).

Augusta State University Catalog 27

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

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

Restrictions: 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 following 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 earned with
grades of "A", "B", "C", and "S" in previously completed course work is
retained and will count towards the residency requirement, If taken at
Augusta State University. Any prior completion of the Regent's Test,
Legislative, and College Preparatory Curriculum requirements will be
retained.

Disadvantages: Any credit earned with a grade of "D" is not retained. All
suspensions count towards the number of suspensions received.
Rnancial aid policies regarding Satisfactory Academic Progress are still in
effect. The minimum grade point average needed for admission to
particular programs may or may not utilize the new Institutional GPA (see
the requirements for the desired program). Both the new Institutional GPA
and the 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.

28 Augusta State University Cataiog

Additional Baccalaureate Degree

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

Auditing a Course

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

Class Attendance

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

It is recognized that the degree of class attendance may vary with the
student, the professor, or the course. It is also recognized that, on
occasions, it may be necessary for the student to be absent ifrom
scheduled classes or laboratories for personal reasons. On such
occasions, all matters related to a student's absences, including the
making up of work missed, are to be arranged between the student and
the professor. A student must not be absent from laboratory periods,
announced quizzes and tests, or final examinations unless the reasons
for the absences are acceptable to the concerned professors. A
student should also understand that he or she is responsible, for the
academic consequences of any absences.

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

Augusta State University Catalog 29

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

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

Classification

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

Course Changes

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

Course Repeat Policy

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

If an undergraduate course (numbered 1000 through 4999) Is
repeated, only the last grade received is used in the calculation of the
Institutional Grade Point Average (IGPA). See "Academic Standing
and Grade Point Averages (GPA)", page 26.

30 Augusta State University Catalog

Course Substitution

Each student is responsible for following the requirements of his or her
selected program as specified in the patalog 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 Pamplln College of Arts and
Sciences. These units, including the appropriate departments, furnish
the basic organization of the faculty and provide the framework for the
generation and maintenance of quality education In the variety of
courses and programs listed in this bulletin. The Academic Policies
Committee serves as the major source for recommendations to the
faculty on policies in these areas. The faculty reserves the right to make
changes in curricula and in rules, at any time when in its 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.

Deans' Lists

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

science courses, depending on the major, these requirements will normally total
120 hours, not including the physical education requirement. Specific graduation
requirements for undergraduate programs in the Katherine Reese Pamplin
College of Arts and Sciences, the College of Education, and the College of
Business Administration are found in the "Undergraduate Programs" section of
this catalog (page 69).

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

Graduation Exercises: Degrees are conferred formally at the close of the

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 70).

Course Requirements: Complete a minimum of 60 hours for the associate
degree or 120 hours for the baccalaureate degree (exclusive of credit earned

Credit from Other Institutions: See "Residence Requirement and Credit from
Other Institutions" (page 35).

Augusta State University Catalog 33

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 1 101 each successive semester until they have
completed the course with a grade of "C" or better, (c) Students who complete
1 1 01 must enroll in English 1 1 02 no later than the first semester they register

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 1975 session of the Georgia
legislature provides that all graduates are required to have passed an
examination on the History of the United States, the 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 21 1 1 , HIST 21 1 2, HIST
3711, POLS 1101, POLS 4101) 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.

^ Augusta State University Catalog

Physical 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 1000 (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.

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.)

(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 on the first day of class
and at midterm. 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, a student must complete in residence at Augusta State
University a minimum of 20 hours of academic credit. If seeking a

Augusta State University Catalog 35

bacx^laureate degree, a student must complete in residence at Augusta State
University at least 25 percent of the credits required for the degree and a
minimum of 30 hours of academic credit in courses numbered 3000 or above.
At least one-half of the major concentration and at least one-half of the minor
concentration must be completed in residence at Augusta State University.

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

Regents' Testing Program Examination: A student must demonstrate
proficiency in reading and writing skills by passing all parts of this examination.
The examination is administered each semester and students are advised when
they are eligible and must take this examination. Transfer students who are
eligible will be notified of the earliest testing date following their initial
enrollment. (See also Regents Testing Program, page 40.)

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 transfen-ed 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 intensively; they do not, however, have a different grading scale and are not
graded more strictly than other courses. A complete description of the ASU
Honors Program is located at the beginning of the Undergraduate Programs
section of this catalog.

Learning Support, Rules for Students in

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

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

Two exceptions are possible:

a. When two or three Learning Support courses are required and a student is
enrolled in at least one Learning Support course, a freshman orientation
course or physical education or other activity or performance courses may
be taken that semester instead of one of the required Learning Support
courses. These courses must be chosen from Augusta State University
orientation (ASUO 1000), physical education (WELL), military science
(MILS), or music (MUSA or MUSI).

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

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

a. Mathematics 0096, 0097, and 0099 are prerequisites for Mathematics 1111;
English 0097 and 0099 are prerequisites for English 1101; Biology 21 1 1 and
Biology 21 1 2; Reading 0097 and 0099 are prerequisites for English 1 1 01 .

b. In addition, students who are enrolled in Reading 0097 may enroll only in
the following credit courses: Mathematics courses; all 1 000-level Applied
Music (MUSA) courses; ail music ensembles and all 0000 - 1 000-level
music courses; all 1000- and 2000-level art courses; 1000- and 2000-level
Military Science courses; all 1 000-level Physical Education courses; Military
Science courses; Communication/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 more than twenty (20) hours of academic credit before completing
all Learning 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 Learning Support after a maximum of three (3) attempts per area, will
be placed on Learning Support Dismissal and will not be eligible to continue in
the program. The student may not be considered for readmission within three
years of the dismissal.

Augusta State University Catalog 37

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

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

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

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

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

Students who do not complete the requirements for passing the non-exit level
of a Learning Support area (0090-0096/0097) within two (2) attempts will be
declared Learning Support Ineligible and may not continue in the program.
Students who are declared Learning Support Ineligible may be considered for
readmission after a minimum of one (1 ) semester, if they can demonstrate that
they have acquired the knowledge and/or skills necessary to satisfy the
requirements of the area for which they are ineligible. Students are required
to submit written documentation of acceptable attempts to remediate the
deficiency and demonstrate an acceptable level of proficiency in the area. If
readmitted, enrollment is limited to the exit level course in the area for which
the student was declared ineligible. The student is given one (1) attempt to
successfully complete the requirements of the exit level course. Students who
do not earn the grade of "S" in the exit level course, are then placed on
Learning Support Dismissal.

5. No degree credit is earned in Learning Support, though institutional credit is
awarded. Time spent in Learning Support course work is cumulative within the
University System, as is the number of attempts per area. Students with
transfer credit or credit earned as a certificate student may be granted up to
a total of three attempts at an area of Learning 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 midterm)
W: withdrawal before midterm (not counted as an attempt)
V: audit (volunteer enrollment only)

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

38 Augusta State University Catalog

Load-Overload, Academic

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

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

(1) he or she has a 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 candidates) at the beginning of, but not including, the
semester of current enrollment.

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

(1) he or she has a 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.

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 32) Grades
below C are not accepted for courses in a major concentration. Some
departments or colleges require general education or cognate courses
in addition to the core curriculum and major courses. Satisfactory
completion of the major 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, each major will be
recorded on the permanent record. For details on a specific major
concentration, see the "Undergraduate Programs" section of this
catalog.

Minors

Most bachelor's degree programs require a minor, with the exception
of those leading to the degrees of Bachelor of Business Administration,

Augusta State University Catalog 39

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

For details on a specific minor field, see the "Undergraduate Programs"
section of this catalog. Minor programs offered at Augusta State
University are listed in the /nafex under Minor Programs.

Regents' Testing Program

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

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

B) Exceptions:

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

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

C) When to take the Regents' Test:

1. Students who have satisfactorily completed English 1101 and
1102 or English 1111 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

^ Augusta State University Catalog

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.

4. Non-native speakers should refer to the Languages, Literature,
and Communications' policy, available in that department, which
explains specific procedures concerning the Regents Testing
Process.

D) Remediation Requirements:

1. Students who have earned 44 or fewer hours and who fail one or
both parts of the Regents' Test must take English 1101 or 1102
if they have not satisfactorily completed these courses or English
0510 and/or 0520 if they have completed these courses: students
who have earned 45 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 1102.

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

F) Review of Essay:

A student may request a formal review of his or her failure on the
essay component of the Regents' Test if that student's essay
received at least one passing score among the three scores
awarded and if the student has successfully completed English 1101
and 1102. Any student who fails the essay component of the
Regents' Testing Program may secure a copy of his or her essay
from the Department of Languages, Literature, and Communi-
cations. The student should enroll in English 0520 and take the copy

Augusta State University Catalog 41

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 immediately notifying the committee of his or
her intent to appeal and requesting that an unmarked copy of the
essay be sent to the committee. If a majority of the review panel
feels that the essay should be appealed, the committee will send its
recommendation, along with a copy of the essay, to the System's
Director of the Regents' Testing Program. On the other hand, a vote
by the committee to sustain the essay's failing score will terminate
the review process.

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

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

Transient and Co-enrolled Augusta State University Students

An Augusta State University student must be in good standing and
must obtain prior approval to enroll in any and all credit courses at any
other institution as a transient or co-enrolled student. This prior
approval of each course must be obtained from the Augusta State
University department or college that offers a course most comparable
to the one that will be taken elsewhere. A transient student is defined
as a degree candidate at Augusta State University who is granted the
privilege of temporary registration at another institution and will not be
enrolled at Augusta State during that period of temporary registration.
A co-enrolled student is defined as a degree candidate at Augusta
State University who is granted the privilege of enrolling at both
Augusta State and another 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 in all courses, and D's, F's and
WF's in English 1101, English 1102, and major and minor courses.) A
statement granting permission to attend another accredited institution

42 Augusta State University Catalog

will be provided by the Augusta State University Registrar after
department or college approval has been obtained.

Unit of Credit (The Semester System)

Wherever this catalog uses the term "hours," it is referring to "semester
hours" as understood within the semester system. Augusta State
University is organized on this system. Each of the two semesters in
the regular academic year covers a period of approximately 16 weeks,
which includes 15 weeks of instruction. The summer session is 11
weeks, with some courses being offered in one of two half sessions.
Each half session has 23 class days. The "semester hour" is the unit
of credit in any course. It represents a recitation period of one
fifty-minute period a week for a semester. A course meeting 150
minutes a week for 15 weeks would thus give credit of 3 hours when
completed satisfactorily. For credit purposes, 2 to 3 laboratory or
activity hours are usually counted as the equivalent of one recitation
class period. Also see "Course Repeat Policy", page 30.

Withdrawal from a Course

The responsibility for initiating a withdrawal resides with the student. A
student who registers for a course and stops attending class (or never
attends class) is not automatically withdrawn by the instructor and is
subject to receiving a grade of "WF" or "F" for the course. Forms for
initiating a withdrawal may be obtained from the Office of Student
Records (Office of Veterans' Affairs). A student is strongly advised to
consult with his or her advisor before withdrawing from a course. A
student must obtain the signature of the instructor to officially withdraw
from a course. An instructor may withdraw a student for excessive
absence. (See "Class Attendance", page 29, for attendance policies
and "Grading System", page 32, for grading policy upon withdrawal.)
The official date of withdrawal is the date the Withdrawal Form is
received in the Office of Student Records.

Cooperative Education (737-1618) www.aug.edu/career_center/
Cooperative Education is an academic program that provides an excellent means
to develop marketable skills in the workplace to complement a student's
educational experience in the classroom. Co-op positions are paid positions that
are structured to enhance the curriculum and expand the knowledge of the
student. Students receive documentation of the Co-op experience on the
academic transcript as a non-credit course. There are three Co-op plans for
student participation. Under the parallel plan, students work part-time and attend
school concurrently. The alternating plan allows students to rotate between
semesters of full-time work and school. The Co-op intern program is a paid,
career related work experience for one semester only.

To appiv for the Co-op program , a full-time student must have a declared major
and a minimum overall 2.5 G.P.A., be of sophomore standing or higher, and be
willing to work at least two academic semesters in a Co-op assignment (Co-op
intern excluded from two semester commitment). Call the office for an

national testing programs such as the PRAXIS, Graduate Record Examination
(GRE), Law School Admissions Tests (LSAT), Medical College Admission Test
(MCAT), Miller Analogies Test (MAT), College Level Examination Program
(CLEP), and the DANTES tests.

All counseling services are free to currently enrolled Augusta State University
students, and all sessions and test results are confidential.

Cultural and Entertainment Programs

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

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

Lyceum Series: The Augusta State University Lyceum Committee was formed
with the spirit of the ancient Lyceum in mind. The committee presents to the
Augusta State University community the finest in stimulating and entettaining
lectures, debates, and plays. The result has been a series of uniformly high
quality programs funded by Student Activity fees.

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

Disabilities Services, Office of (737-1471)

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

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

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

HIV Policy

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

52 Augusta State University Catalog

to attend classes as determined by current Augusta State University
standards.

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

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

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

7. INFORMATION, TESTING, AND COUNSELING:

TESTING: Students or employees requesting HIV antibody testing will be

referred to the local board of health.

INFORMATION AND COUNSELING: Information and counseling are

available through the campus Counseling Center.

EDUCATION: All students at Augusta State University must take WELLNESS

(WELL 1000) as a graduation requirement. This course includes information

on HIV/AIDS. Seminars, lectures, and the campus newsletter will be used to

update faculty, students, and staff on HIV-related issues as new information

is made available or additional issues need to be addressed.

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

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

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

Augusta State University Catalog S3

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

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

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

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

Insurance

By special arrangement the university approves a student health insurance policy
which also provides benefits for accident and accidental death and
dismemberment. The magnitude of student participation in the plan allows the
insurer to offer excellent benefits for a minimal premium. Applications for student
insurance are available in the Office of Student Sen/ices in Boykin Wright Hall.

student Rights and Responsibilities

Academic Honesty

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

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

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

a. Copying from another student's paper.

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

c. Collaboration with another student during an examination.

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

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

f. Bribery of any person to obtain examination information.

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

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

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

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

Augusta State University Catalog 59

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

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

1 . Confront the student and make the charges known.

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

3. Decide what action is appropriate.

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

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

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

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

If a "WF" for the course:

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

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

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

The Dean shall:

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

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

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

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

The Vice President for Academic Affairs shall:

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

^0 Augusta State University Catalog

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

Should the student desire to appeal the decision for punitive action, he or she
shall notify the appropriate Dean, who will ask the Academic Policies Committee
to arrange a hearing in the manner set forth below in this catalog under "Student
Academic Grievances."

Discipline

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

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

Student Academic Appeals

(also see "Student Academic Grievances", page 62)

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 administra-
tor's decision affecting your program of study was not justified by the procedures
and/or guidelines established to govern that decision. It is not necessary that you
allege discrimination or other wrongdoing on the part of the administrator.

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

Augusta State University Catalog 61

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 discriminatbn 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 61)

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 supervisor rather than the instructor and his/her chair and dean (as
outlined below). The Academic Policies Committee is the final arbiter of whether
such a grievance against an administrator should be resolved instead through the
appeals process. If your problem is related to a non-academic issue, you should
refer to the Student Conduct Code.

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

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

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

3. In order for you to prepare your case, keep in mind that when you present the
facts the burden of proof is on you, not on the instructor.

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

^ Augusta State University Catalog

full truth represents the best service to their cases, and indeed that misstated
or overstated claims by the principals or their witnesses about the misdeeds
of others may lead to civil penalties.

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

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

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

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

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

B. If agreement is not reached within five (5) days of the receipt of the written
grievance by the instructor, the student may appeal the instructor's decision
to the department chair. The student shall so advise the chair within five
(5) days of receiving that decision.

Augusta State University Catalog 63

C. The department chair shall respond to the written grievance within five (5)
days of receiving it. The student may choose to appeal the chair's
response by submitting a copy of the grievance to the dean of the
appropriate college. The appeal must be made within five days (5) of the
student's having received the response. No appeal may be initiated after
the fifth day following the student's receipt of the chair's response. As an
alternative to a formal hearing (see Stage 3), if the student is not satisfied
with the solution, the student is encouraged to refer the matter to the
Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) Committee. Augusta State University
has chosen mediation as its ADR process. f\/lediation involves the use of
a neutral third party who seeks to aid the disputants in their effort to reach
a mutually satisfying resolution. A student choosing the ADR process
should submit a written grievance to the Dean of Students, rather than to
the academic dean. Upon completion of the ADR process, if no formal
resolution has been reached, the student may then move on to Stage 3 by
submitting a written grievance to the appropriate academic dean within 5
days.

ill. Stage Three: The Formal Hearing. If agreement is not reached within five
(5) 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 five (5) days of receiving the request to arrange a heanng, the
Academic Policies committee shall act upon that request. In the case of a
grievance against an administrator, the committee shall first determine
whether the problem should more appropriately be resolved through the
academic appeals process or whether the academic grievance process is
the appropriate context. In the latter case, the committee shall then
determine how to adapt the procedures of the academic gnevance 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

^ Augusta State University Catalog ^

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

C. Within five (5) 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 (1 0) days of the preliminary session.

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

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

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

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

3. Engage the assistance of the Dean of Students in utilizing the services
of a confidential secretary or other appropriate means to obtain a
verbatim written record of the proceedings.

4. Give written notice to both parties at least five (5) 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 supen/ise 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

Augusta State University Catalog 65

affidavits, testimony and/or exhibits, and a summary which includes a
statement of the specific relief sought from the board.
G. The board shall try to complete the agenda for the hearing in one session.
If this is not possible, the term "hearing" as used throughout this document
shall apply collectively to all sessions taken together. The board shall in
any case see to it that all sessions of the hearing have been concluded
within five (5) 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, but in no case may the
deliberations continue past the tenth day following the distribution of the
written verbatim record. The board shall confine its deliberations to the
case presented.

C. Within five (5) days of reaching a decision, the board shall issue to the
appropriate dean a written report giving its findings and recommendations.

V. Stage Five: The Dean's Decision

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

B. Within five (5) days of receiving the board's findings and recommendations,
the dean shall forward the following by registered mail to each of the parties
involved:

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

2. The dean's decision with regard to any relief sought by the parties
and/or recommended by the board.

3. Notification to both parties of the right to appeal before the dean takes
action. The dean shall be deemed to have satisfied this requirement if
he/she calls the attention of the parties to section VI of this document.

C. If no party makes a written appeal within five (5) days of having been
considered final and the dean shall see to its implementation.

VI. Stage Six: The Appeals Process

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

B. Neither the faculty grievance procedure nor any other procedure may be

I

^^ Augusta State University Catalog |

invoked as a substitute for the appeals process set forth below.

C. Appeal to the Vice President for Academic Affairs

1 . If either party wishes to appeal the decision of the dean, he/she must do
so in writing to the Vice President for Academic Affairs within five (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.

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

3. Within five (5) 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
Academic 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
Regents, 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

Augusta State University Catalog 67

president shall communicate this to the appropriate dean, who shall see

to its implementation.
E. Final Disposition

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

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

Under current Board of Regents procedures, action by the president on grade 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, religion, age, or handicap.

Confidentiality of Student Records

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

Directory information concerning an individual student, including name, address,
e-mail 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 information not be released. This request must be submitted
in writing to the Registrar's Office.

AUGUSTA STATE UNIVERSITY HONORS PROGRAM

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

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

Honors Program Classes

Honors classes differ in kind from other classes. They are usually smaller; they
involve more interaction with the instructor; they encourage independent work and
collaboration among students and between students and professors. Often
professors in honors courses see themselves more as facilitators than as
instructors or lecturers, and, when possible, guide students to work with primary
materials. Honors classes ask students to explore course work more actively and
intensively, but students are 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 3.3. Should the GPA drop below the required 3.3, the student will be allowed
to continue in the program on probationary status as long as the GPA does not
drop below 3.2. Students will not be allowed to begin work on a thesis proposal
(HONR 3999) or thesis (HONR 4000) with a GPA below 3.3.

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

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

Junior/Senior Requirement:

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

72 Augusta State University Catalog

* a departmental honors course (departmentally approved independent study
or a regular departmental offering with an additional honors component), or
*an approved honors alternative - 3 semester hours

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

HONR 3999: Thesis Prospectus--1 semester hour

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

HONR 4500: Honors Capstone--1 semester hour

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

Eligibility and Admissions

Students may seek entry into the Honors Program by submitting 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 1 00 or more and a cumulative high
school GPA of 3.5 or better.

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

To be able to complete program requirements without takir)g 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.

FINE ARTS PROGRAM - MUSIC

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

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

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

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

Bachelor of Music

Two areas of professional study are available in the Bachelor of Music degree:

Performance prepares students for careers as instrumentalists in symphonic, jazz and

popular styles; as singers in opera, theater, and popular music; and as solo recitalists,

accompanists, private and college teachers, and church musicians. Music Education

prepares musicians for careers as music teachers at all levels in public and private

schools.

Bachelor of Arts in Music

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

Minor in Music

The Music Minor is available to all university students who have interest and ability
in music. The program requires courses in applied music, ensembles, music history,
and music theory.

descriptions and content outlines of nursing courses successfully passed from the
previous institution. Students who have failed more than one nursing course from
another program will not be considered for admission.

Advanced Placement Requirements for Practical Nursing Students

LPNs who are within 3 years or less since graduation from their practical nursing
program, meet the admission requirements, and hold a current arid valid Practical
Nurse License from the State of Georgia will be eligible for advanced placement into
the second semester of the nursing curriculum (Nursing 1 1 02) without testing. LPN
students who are within 3-5 years since graduation must have a minimum of 1 ,000
hours of nursing experience approved by the Augusta State Department of Nursing
faculty within the year prior to application to be eligible for advanced placement.
Credits for Nursing 11 01 , Foundations of Nursing Practice, will be held in escrow until
the student has satisfactorily passed Nursing 1 102.

LPNs who have graduated from their practical nursing program 5-f- years prior to
application will be required to demonstrate competence through testing. To be
eligible for testing, a minimum of 1000 hours of nursing experience approved by the
Augusta State Department of Nursing faculty is required within the year prior to
application. If the LPN successfully passes the test, credit will be received for

of the nursing program. A grade of "D" in Human Anatomy and Physiology I or II
(BIOL 21 1 1 or BIOL 21 12), or Microbiology (BIOL 31 10), will automatically preclude
the student from registering for the subsequent nursing course in the program. (This
does not apply to prenursing students.) Withdrawal from Human Anatomy and
Physiology I, Human Anatomy and Physiology II, or Microbiology while taking it with
a nursing course will result in an automatic withdrawal from the program. A minimum
grade of "C" must be attained for progression within the nursing sequence. In order

College of Education

Since its founding in 1783 with the stated purpose of extending educational
opportunity throughout the state to its designation as a state university in 1996, the
preparation of quality professional educators has been a part of the mission of
Augusta State University. As the role of the professional educator has changed, so
have the educational programs offered by the College of Education. The courses
and related practicum and field experiences utilized in the current teacher preparation '
programs focus on standards from state, regional, and national accrediting agencies,
t^est practice, and relevant research. Utilizing these as a base, preparation programs i
have been developed which emphasize what beginning teachers should know and
be able to do at the end of their undergraduate studies. All teacher preparation
programs in the College of Education require extensive clinical and field experiences
in which teacher apprentices demonstrate the ability to assess, plan, implement, and
evaluate appropriate curriculum strategies with a diverse population of students.
These experiences are conducted under the close supervision of a professional
educator in the public schools and a college supervisor. In order to graduate arxj be
recommended for certification, all students must demonstrate with "real children" thei
competencies for success as a beginning teacher in their chosen field of study.

Mission of the College of Education

The College of Education is committed to excellence in the preparation of teachers,
counselors, and administrators for sen/ice with diverse populations in a wide variety
of educational settings. The professional educators involved in the various
preparation programs prepare students for today's classrooms through a
collaboratively developed series of courses and appropriate field experiences while
demonstrating outstanding teaching techniques and procedures from relevant
research and best practice.

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

I

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

Conceptual Framework Principles

All teacher preparation programs are shaped and guided by a set of principles which
describe what students should know and be able to demonstrate at the end of their
course work and field experiences. Adopted from the woric of the Interstate New
Teacher Assessment and Support Consortium (INTASC) which was established to
translate the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards' advanced
certification requirements for highly accomplished teachers, into perfomnance-based
standards for beginning teachers, the following principles were adopted by the faculty
in the College of Education in the spring of 1 996. Students who complete a teacher
preparation program at Augusta State University will:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Attention Education Majors

In the fall 1 998, the Board of Regents approved a set of Principles and Actions for
;he Preparation of Educators for the Schools. These principles will result in
substantial changes in the admissions, cum'culum, field experiences, and exit
equirements for all students in the teacher preparation process. All students entering
^SU in the fall semester, 1998 will fall under p>art or all of these new requirements.
Students should check with their advisors for specific changes in the teacher
jreparation process.

Accreditations

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

Admission to Teacher Education

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

164

and program criteria. The following minimum admission criteria apply to all
students seeking admission to Teacher Education. In some fields of study, additior^
nequirements may apply. Students should check with the appropriate department to
determine these special requirements.

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

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

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

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

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

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

7. Successful performance on the Praxis I at the following scores: CBT:

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

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

kJvisement

)ue to the many, and sometimes changing, requirements for certification,
dvisement of students is a very important process in the College of Education,
lecause of this, students enrolled in a teacher preparation program may not utilize
^e self -advisement process. All students in teacher preparation programs are
squired to meet with and obtain approval from their advisor in order to register for
curses.

dvisement Prior to Admission to Teacher Education

itudents who have not been admitted to Teacher Education are advised by a faculty
lember in their specialized area. The Coordinator of Undergraduate Advisement is
)cated in Butler Hall, Suite E. This individual is available to assist students with a
/ide range of scheduling and planning issues.

Clinical and Professional Field Experiences

he teacher preparation programs at Augusta State University place a strong
mphasis on "hands-on" experiences with professional educators in actual classroom
sttings. Students should expect a field experience as a part of most courses in the

iugusta State University Catalog 165

preparation process. In some cases, entire courses will be taught in a public schoo
setting. Clinical and field experiences are monitored for each student to insure tha
they have had the opportunity to work with diverse populations in a wide variety o
educational level and settings.

Due to the sensitive nature of working with children in the public schools, the
Department of Public Safety at Augusta State University will conduct a backgrounc
review of all students at two specific points in the preparation program. The firs
check will be made as part of enrollment in EDUC 21 01 - Historical and Philosophica
Foundations of Education (for secondary and P-12 education majors as part of the
admission to Teacher Education process). Only students wfio present a record free
of criminal and/or disciplinary activity will be allowed to enter a public schoo
classroom. The second check will be made as a prerequisite to entering the
apprenticeship experience. Students who are admitted to the apprenticeshif
experience must have a record free of criminal and/or disciplinary activity.

Apprenticeship Experience

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

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

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

Prerequisites and Course Sequencing

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

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

It is important that the students' major courses be taken during both the junfor and
senior years. Although all major courses are offered regularty, they may not be
offered each semester during both day and evening hours. For this reason. It Is
im|X)rtant to leam which courses are required and to note their scheduling pattems
Failure to take a course when it is offered, withdrawing from, or failing a course will
nrx)st likely lead to delays in the graduatbn process.

POLITICAL SCIENCE Master of Public Administration Degree

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

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

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

2. Official scores on the Graduate Record Examination. A minimum score of
400 on each subtest (verbal, quantitative, and analytical) is targeted, withf
at least two of the three subtests having scores of at least 450. The GRE!
scores must be recent (applicant having taken the Graduate RecordI
Examination within the last five years).

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

4. A current resume.

5. Medical History Form (available from Admissions Office)

When the portfolio is completed, the applicant's record will be sent to the Director
of the MPA Program in the Department of Political Science for review.

186 Augusta State University Cataloi

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

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

Prerequisites: For the applicant who has insufficient academic preparation in
political science, enrollment in an American govemment course is a requirement.
The prerequisite can be satisfied by taking POLS 1101. Before enrolling in either
PA 6500 or 6600, computer literacy must be demonstrated. Computer literacy
can be determined by having taken computer science or information
management courses as an undergraduate.

Transfer Credit: No more than nine semester credit hours shall be transferred
from another institution for the purpose of earning credits for the Master of Public
Administration degree. The institution from which the credits are transferred must
be an accredited one, and each transfer course is subject to review in order to
determine its equivalency in the Augusta State University MPA Program.
Internship: An internship experience is required by the MPA program for those
students who lack a significant professional work background. For those who are
working in a public or non-profit agency at the time of their enrollment in the MPA
program, a separate internship program is not required. The student will utilize
his or her professional work experience as the basis for completing the
thesis/capstone paper. Students who have never worked in a public agency or
non-profit organization will be matched with an appropriate organization for a six-
month internship. This internship is the basis for the student's thesis/capstone
paper.

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

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

PSYCHOLOGY Master of Science Degree in Psychology

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

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

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

Admission Procedures and Requirements

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

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

Augusta State University Catalog 189

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

The minimum admission requirements are:

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

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

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

4. Satisfactory letters of recommendation and transcripts.

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

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

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

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

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

Financial Aid and Graduate Assistantships

Students are expected to arrange their own means of paying tuition and other-
fees. Persons requiring financial assistance should first contact the Office of I
Financial Aid to inquire about funding alternatives, including the Work Study
Program and low-interest loans. The department offers a limited number of
graduate assistantships which reduce tuition and provide a monthly income in
return for services to the university. These are assigned on a competitive basis
each semester from among those students applying or recommended by the
faculty. The award of an assistantship one semester is not a guarantee of future
awards, and the university and department reserve the right to modify the number
and conditions of awards as necessary. Graduate assistants are required to carry
an academic load of at least 9 semester hours with no more than 3 hours of i
internship.

Degree Requirements

The Master of Science in Psychology requires the satisfactory completion of a
minimum of 45 semester hours of graduate work, including Professional and
Ethical Foundations (PSYC 6190), Research Methods I and II (PSYC 6121 and
6122), and six semester hours of either Internship (PSYC 6960, 6970 and/or
6980) or Thesis and Research (PSYC 6990). Beyond this, an individualized plan
of study, as approved by the student's Academic Advisor, is used to establish
specific course requirements and to determine whether the student will be in the
thesis or internship track. For either track, at least 36 of the 45 total hours
required must be earned in the major field; and no more than 6 of the 45 total
lours may be earned in PSYC 6960, 6970, 6980, and/or 6990. The M.S.
Drogram is scheduled on a year-round basis and all students are expected to
attend the summer term as full-time students.

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

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

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

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

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

Typical Plan of Study

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

College of Education

ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS
GRADUATE PROGRAMS

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

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

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

College of Business Administration

MASTER OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION PROGRAM

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

A student who enters the MBA program with a bachelor of business
administration degree and has undergraduate grades of "C" or better in
foundation courses usually will be able to complete the MBA program with 33
semester hours (1 1 courses) of required course work plus 3 semester hours (1
course) of elective. Students who must take some or all of the foundation
courses may require up to 54 semester hours of course work, including the
foundation courses. Specific course requirements for each student are
determined by the student's previous academic experiences and are approved
cy the Director of Graduate Studies.

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

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

Academic Performance

An accumulative grade point average (GPA) of at least 3.00 (on a 4.00 scale) is
'equired for graduation and to remain in good standing in the program. An MBA
student may earn a maximum of 6 semester credit hours with a grade of "C".
tVIBA course credit may not be earned with course grades below "C". If a
student's cumulative GPA falls below 3.00, the student will be placed on
academic probation and must raise the cumulative GPA to at least 3.00 during
the next 9 hours of course work in order to remain in the MBA program.

Time Limitation

\\\ requirements for the MBA degree must be completed within six consecutive

^ears, beginning with the student's enrollment in the first 6000-level course.

217

Application Requirements

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

1. Application for Graduate Study.

2. Fee of $20.00, check or money order. (Not required if previously enrolled at
Augusta State University.)

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

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

Admission Criteria for the MBA Program

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

Eligibility index (200 x GPA + GMAT) of 950 (using the overall undergraduate
GPA)

or
1 ,000 (using the junior-senior GPA), with an absolute minimum GMAT of 400 in
either case.

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

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

GMAT

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

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