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 Academy of Richmond County in 1783 and the creation of a separate Junior College of Augusta in 1925, its mission is predicated on the cultural, social, and economic value of a strong liberal arts education.

This type of enrollment is primarily designed to provide the opportunity to take courses not available in the high school curriculum. To be eligible for admission consideration, the student must have completed the sophomore year of high school and have: (1) an overall 3.00 high school average in all academic courses completed (2) a combined SAT score of 11 00 or higher (or equivalent ACT score), including a minimum Verbal score of 490 and f\/Iath score of 530, to take those respective courses. (3) a written recommendation from the high school principal or counsellor (4) a letter of consent from the parent or legal guardian (5) a personal interview with a university admissions officer If the SAT verbal score is 490 and the math score is 530, a student accepted into this program will be permitted to enroll in any course for which he or she is 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.

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. Educational Credential Evaluators, Inc. P.O. Box 514070 Milwaukee, Wl 53202-3470 USA (414) 289-3400 FAX: (414) 289-341 1 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. Augusta State University Catalog 15 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.

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. c. The lease of living quarters. d. A statement of intention to acquire a domicile in Georgia. e. Automobile registration; address on driver's license; payment of automobile taxes. f. Location of bank or saving accounts. WAIVERS Contiguous Counties. The border tuition policy set forth by the Board of Regents states that students from counties bordering on a county in which a University System of Georgia institution is located shall pay resident tuition fees. This policy includes students from Aiken and Edgef iekJ Counties, South Carolina, who wish to attend Augusta State University. Students must fill out a waiver form and have it signed by a magistrate. Augusta State University Catalog 23 Militaf7 Personnel. Active duty military personnel and their spouses and legal dependents stationed in Georgia may qualify for waiver of non-resident tuition. Military personnel should contact the Education Center at their installation for information about current financial and other assistance available to them as members of the armed forces. All military personnel planning to use military tuition assistance programs to defray expenses associated with matriculation at Augusta State University should be sure to coordinate with the Director of Admissions for guidance as to procedures. International Students. International students may be selected by the institutional president or his authorized representative for a waiver, provided, however, that the number of such waivers in effect at any time does not exceed one percent of the equivalent full-time students enrolled at the institution in the fall semester immediately preceding the semester for which the out-of-state tuition is to be waived. Aliens shall be classified as nonresident students; provided, however, that an alien who is living in this country under an immigration document permitting indefinite or permanent residence shall have the same privilege of qualifying for in-state tuition as a citizen of the United States. (Also see "International Students: Special Requirements", page 14.) Teachers. Full-time teachers in the public schools of Georgia and their dependent children may enroll as students in University System institutions on the payment of resident fees. Employees. All full-time employees in an institution of the University System, their spouses, and minor children may register for courses on the payment of resident fees, even though the empfoyee has not been in residence in Georgia for a period of twelve months. VETERANS' EDUCATION BENEFITS See the entry for "Veterans' Affairs" in the General Information section of this catalog (page 57) or contact the office of Veterans' Affairs for further information (737-1606). ^^ Augusta State University Catalog FINANCIAL AID It is very important to apply for financial aid as early as possible in the calendar year you plan to enroll.

All scholarships awarded by the Augusta State University Scholarship and Financial Assistance Committee require an institutional application, available in the Financial Aid Office. The application deadline is March 1 for the upcoming academic year. The primary responsibility for financing a college education belongs to you and your family. Students who need financial assistance are expected to work for and borrow a reasonable portion of the funds needed to meet expenses. Your family is expected to make a maximum effort to assist in satisfying the cost of education. Augusta State University Catalog 25 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. Required Minimum Average Credit Level either Term GPA or Ins Jtitutional GPA 0~ 16 1.00 0.50 17- 29 2.00 1.30 30" 59 2.00 1.60 60" 89 2.00 1.90 90 and above 2.00 2.00 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. Also see: "Graduation with Honors" ( page 36). Developmental Studies, Rules for Students in See Learning Support, Rules for Students in (page 37) Grade Changes Any grade changes must be accomplished in the semester immediately following the semester in which the grade was originally reported. Augusta State University Catalog 31 Grading System, Undergraduate Grades used in calculating the undergraduate grade point average are as follows: Grade Meaning Qualitv Doints/credit hour A Excellent 4.0 B Good 3.0 C Satisfactory 2.0 D Passing 1.0 F Failure 0.0 WF Withdrew, failing 0.0 The following symbols are used in the cases indicated, but are not included in the determination of the grade point average; /; Inconnplete-Student doing satisfactory work, but unable to meet the full requirements of the course because of non-academic reasons. The maximum time for completing course work to remove an I is one semester; othenwise, the I will be automatically changed to F. IV; Withdrawal, without penalty-The W will be assigned if the student officially withdraws from the course by semester midterm, unless the student has been charged with academic dishonesty. A grade of WF will be assigned after midterm unless the student withdraws because of non-academic hardship and has a passing average at the time of withdrawal. S: Satisfactory*-lndicates satisfactory completion of degree requirements other than academic course work. U: Unsatisfactory*-lndicates unsatisfactory performance in an attempt to complete degree requirements other than academic course work. V: Audit-Indicates that the student was enrolled in the course as an auditor. Students may not transfer from audit to credit status or vice versa. K: Credit by examination. NR: Not Reported-! ndicates that the grade was not reported. IP: In Progress-Indicates that credit has not been given in courses that require a continuation of work beyond the semester for which the student signed up for the course. The use of this symbol is approved for project courses. *The S and U symbols are used for dissertation and thesis hours, student teaching, clinical practicum, intemship, and proficiency requirements in graduate programs, and specifically designated courses. Graduation Requirements: Undergraduate All candidates for the bachelor's degree at Augusta State University must satisfy the following conditions: Students must earn 39 or more hours in upper level courses with at least 21 hours in the major and 1 5 to 1 8 total hours in the minor, depending upon the field, with a grade of "C" or better in each course in the major and the minor. (The Bachelor of Music degree and the Bachelor of Fine Arts degree are more professionally oriented programs and require more hours in the major field. The performance major in the Bachelor of Music or the Bachelor of Fine Arts and the Bachelor of Business Administration major do not require a minor field.) Together with the core curriculum and electives and/or foreign language, statistics, and computer 32 Augusta State University Catalog 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 spring semester (in May) and at the close of the fall semester (in December). Students who complete all requirements for the degree by the end of spring semester receive degrees in May. Students who complete all requirements for the degree by the end of the summer term or fall semester receive degrees in December. Degree candidates are encouraged to attend graduation exercises. However, if they are unable to do so, they are required to notify .the Registrar's Office in writing. Payment of Financial Obligations: No student will be permitted to graduate if he or she is in default on any payment due to the university. Additional Degrees: Normally, two identical degrees are not awarded. However, a student may receive the appropriate degree of any other program by completing the additional requirements of that program and earning at least 30 hours of resident credit (20 hours for the associate degree) in excess of the requirement for the original degree. Core Curriculum: The core curriculum was developed by the University System of Georgia for the purpose of facilitating the education of students as they pursue baccalaureate degrees within and among the units of the University System. It includes 60 hours of lower level courses that would normally be covered in the first half of a baccalaureate degree program. A student who completes the requirements of the core, or any area of the core, will have the assurance that credit for all of this work can transfer to any other unit of the University System. All candidates for the bachelor's degree at Augusta State University must satisfactorily complete the core curriculum. The list of courses in the core curriculum is presented at the beginning of the Undergraduate Programs section of this catalog (page 70). Course Requirements: Complete a minimum of 60 hours for the associate degree or 120 hours for the baccalaureate degree (exclusive of credit earned in lower division Physical Education courses) as specified for the candidate's program. There will be a minimum of 39 hours of upper division courses required for students graduating with the baccalaureate degree. Credit from Other Institutions: See "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 following completion of 30 hours credit, (d) Students must continue to register for English 1 1 02 each successive semester until they have completed the course with a grade of C or better. Grade Point Average: Achieve an institutional grade point average (see page 26) of at least 2.00 on all work attempted at this university or an academic renewal grade point average of at least 2.00 on all work since the date of academic renewal (if the student is eligible for academic renewal and elects to accept academic renewal). Graduation Fee: This $25 fee is to be paid to the Business Office at the time the application for graduation is submitted. Legislative Requirements: An act of the 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.) Waivers and Substitutions : Waivers are the same for the Baccalaureate Degree program and the Associate Degree program, as follows: (A) Wellness and Fitness Course (3 hrs.): All students are required to successfully complete this course with the following exception. Nursing Students: Nursing students may satisfy the Wellness and Fitness (3 hr.) course requirement through the course studies within their degree program. The department chair of nursing will sign off on this requirement on the application for graduation. All nursing students are required to satisfy 2 hours of activity course requirements. Note that only degree candidate nursing students will have the Wellness and Fitness course waived. (B) Activity Courses: Swimming Requirement: Any student may elect to take a swimming proficiency exam to be offered each semester 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. ^ Augusta State University 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.

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.

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. 68 Augusta State University Catalog AUGUSTA STATE UNIVERSITY UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAMS Augusta State University offers scores of carefully designed undergraduate programs.

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.

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 162 Augusta State University Catalog^ 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. Augusta State University Catalog 163 Degree Programs Undergraduate and graduate degree programs are offered through the departments of Teacher Development, Clinical and Professional Studies, and Kinesiology and Health Science. Undergraduate degree programs in secondary education for teachers of English, history, mathematics, political science, science, social studies, and preschool through twelfth grade in foreign language, and music are offered in collaboration with the Pamplin College of Arts and Sciences.

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.

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 3. A cumulative grade point average of at least 3.0 on all upper division coursi wori< in the major (ECED, MGED, SPED). For secondary and P-1 2 educatioh majors, a cumulative grade point average of at least 2.5 is required on ai content courses utilized as part of the major and a cumulative grade point c at least 3.0 is required on all professional education courses. 4.
