In 1 783 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, Augusta State University Catalog 1 Georgia 30033-4097: Telephone number 404-679-4501) to award Associate's, Bachelor's, Master's and Specialist's degrees. All courses offered at Augusta State University, other than those identified as developmental/remedial, 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. Augusta State University Catalog Public Service/Continuing Education consists of non-degree activities, primarily, and special types of college-degree-credit courses. The non-degree activities are of several types, including short courses, seminars, conferences, lectures, and consultative and advisory services in a large number of areas of interest. Typical college-degree-credit public service/continuing education courses are those offered through extension center programs. Research encompasses investigations conducted primarily for discovery and application of knowledge. These investigations cover matters related to the educational objectives of the institutions and to general societal needs. Most of the research is conducted through the universities; however, some of it is conducted through the state colleges. Augusta State University l\/lission 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 enlarges its students' individual versatility, creative powers, cultural appreciation, knowledge of the world, respect for others, and professional expertise. Augusta State University strives to be a national model of excellence for its quality of service to the second largest metropolitan area in Georgia. With a broad array of undergraduate programs and a select offering of graduate programs below the doctoral level, itfunctions as a metropolitan, non-residential university for the area. Open to the voices of all its members, the University serves a population diverse in race, background, age and preparation. It provides access not only to those who are fully ready for college but also to the under prepared who show potential and to those seeking the kind of academic challenge normally associated with elite, private institutions. Emphasizing student-faculty contact, the University fosters intellectual growth through learning assistance, honors courses, and student research. It promotes electronic information technologies and links students with the world community of scholarship. The University collaborates with the Medical College of Georgia, Paine College, Augusta Technical Institute, Fort Gordon, and P-12 schools. It makes constant, programmatic use of local industries, agencies, and institutions as laboratories for practical learning experiences. In an area with a large health care industry, it provides undergraduate general education courses for the Medical College students, prepares students to enter programs at that institution, and educates Augusta State University Catalog 3 others who work in the medical field. It is also the principal source of training for the area's teachers and business leaders. Augusta State University is acutely conscious of its responsibility to a community where its graduates become teachers and artists, professionals and civic leaders. It seeks to serve: enriching its area culturally, improving economic and social conditions, and promoting personal and professional development. To these ends, the University cultivates intellectually vital faculty members who are excellent in teaching, active in research, generous in service, and committed to its mission. The University also strives to have its faculty, staff, curriculum and programs reflect the increasing diversity of the population and world from which its students come. Devoted to constant improvement, the University assesses its performance by evaluating its stewardship of resources, responsiveness to area needs, involvement with its community, the response of the public it serves, and, most importantly, the success of the students it educates.

For students who have completed their CPCs in a home schooled program or secondary school that is not accredited by one of the agencies mentioned above, the following options are available to validate CPC units. Students can select the option per subject area that is most suitable for them. For instance, a student who has earned 450 on the SAT I math and verbal tests can validate CPCs in English and mathematics in this manner, and provide the items in option one or option two to validate CPCs in other areas. Files of students who select options two (2) or five (5) to validate CPC subjects will be reviewed by a university committee consisting of the Vice President for Academic Affairs, Director of Admissions, 8 Augusta State University Catalog Associate Director of Admissions, and two faculty members appointed by the Vice President for Academic Affairs. 1) Submit a high school transcript and subject test scores from the Stanford Achievement, California Achievement Test or Iowa Achievement Test of Basic Skills for each CPC subject area. Scores greater than or equal to the 50 percentiles of national test takers will validate acceptable proficiency in CPC subject areas. 2) Submit a high school transcript and a syllabus for each college preparatory course completed. In addition, submit chapter, unit or final, cumulative subject tests taken. Provide research papers and/or projects if grades for courses are based on these items rather than examinations. 3) A score greater than or equal to 450 on SAT I math or 19 on ACT math will validate CPCs in mathematics. English CPCs can be validated with a score greater than or equal to 450 on the SAT I verbal or 18 on the ACT English. In addition, students can validate subject area CPCs by presenting other standardized tests such as CLEP or SAT II. For SAT 11 score requirements as put forth by the USG Board of Regents, please see below. 4) The Department of Languages, Literature and Communications provides placement and credit by examination based on departmental tests. Students can validate CPC units for German, Spanish, or French by taking appropriate departmental examinations. 5) If a student wishes to submit other evidence to validate CPCs (tests not specifically mentioned above, certifications, etc.), committee members can use their discretion to use other information to validate CPC units.

Transfer students are divided into two categories as listed below for regular admission: (1 ) Fewer than 30 transferable semester hours: Meet prevailing freshman admissions requirements. (2) 30 transferable semester hours: College Composition I and either Augusta State University Catalog 11 College Algebra or Mathematical Modelling. These students must have at least a a 2.0 or greater for non-probationary entrance.

All transfer students entering ASU with <2.0 overall transfer GPA may be reviewed for probationary entrance and are subject to possible additional admission requirements. Students admitted on probation must achieve a minimum 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 evaluation report will be mailed to the student once he or she is accepted by the university and all official transcripts have been received from each college previously attended. The basic policy regarding the acceptance of courses by transfer is to allow credit for courses completed with satisfactory grades in other 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 earned 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. 12 Augusta State University Catalog A student may take challenge examinations before enrolling, but will receive credit for courses challenged only after successfully completing six semester hours at Augusta State University. Courses in which a student is or has been enrolled may not be challenged, and courses which require demonstrations and application of skills (practical, laboratory sciences, and courses requiring field work or performance, for example) may be challenged only with the permission of the chairperson of the department offering the course. Credit by examination is listed as such on the transcript along with the course number, title, and hours of credit; however, no grade is assigned and the credit is not included in computing the Grade Point Average. Credit by examination is limited to 10 semester hours in a discipline and 30 semester hours in the university. A current list of tests available for credit by examination for courses offered at Augusta State University may be obtained from the Counseling and Testing Center, (706)737-1472. Transient Student Admissions Requirements A transient student is a degree candidate at another institution who is granted the privilege of temporary enrollment at Augusta State University. To apply for admission as a transient student you must: (1) File a completed application form. (2) Submit a letter of permission confirming good standing from the registrar of the college in which you are enrolled or matriculated. In addition, submit an official transcript from your home institution. You can be admitted to Augusta State University as a transient student only if you are currently eligible for re-admission to your home institution. (3) If you wish to enroll in courses for which prerequisites are required, you must, prior to registration, give the department chair a transcript(s) showing successful completion of required prerequisite courses. This requirement may be waived only by the permission of the department chair. As a transient student you will be required to adhere to the same academic standards that govern regularly enrolled students. You may renew your status for additional enrollment periods for a maximum of two semesters per calendar year. For an exception of a third semester, you must submit written approval from your home institution and complete a new application for the Augusta State University Admissions Office at least 30 days prior to the scheduled registration for the third enrollment period. If financial aid is needed, transient students must approach the home institution's Financial Aid Office to request a consortium agreement for financial aid purposes. Additional Degree Admissions Requirements An Additional Degree applicant is classified as a student who has successfully Augusta State University Catalog 13 completed a baccalaureate degree at a regionally accredited institution, and wishes to pursue a second undergraduate degree at Augusta State University. To apply as an Additional Degree student, you must: (1) File a completed application form. (2) Submit official transcripts from all colleges attended. (3) Complete an interview with an admissions officer. Once the applicant has been accepted a transfer evaluation of credit will be completed by the Office of the Registrar for those courses that are pertinent to the desired program. Non-degree Admissions Requirements "Non-degree student" is a classification reserved for the student interested in en- rolling at Augusta State University for credit without pursuing a college degree. The non-degree student may be a transient student (see previous page), post- baccalaureate, postgraduate, or audit student. A candidate for this type of limited enrollment seeks instruction in particular courses for personal or professional purposes, or for completion of degree requirements at another institution. If you hold a baccalaureate degree or graduate degree from a regionally accredited college and wish to enroll in undergraduate courses as a non-degree student, then you must request that an official transcript be sent to the admissions office from the college or university which awarded the highest degree. Each applicant for admission as a special student must: (1 ) File a completed application form. (2) Provide evidence of satisfactory past academic work at the secondary or post-secondary level. (3) Satisfy all other admission requirements as determined by the Office of Admissions. Senior Citizens Admission Requirements Georgia residents 62 years of age or older are eligible to enroll in units of the University System free of charge on a space available basis. Senior citizens from Aiken and Edgefield Counties qualify for the contiguous county tuition waiver and pay in-state tuition and fees. (See Waivers, page 25.) Senior citizens who pay tuition are not required to register on a space available basis. Former Student Readmission Requirements If you have attended any other college or university since your last enrollment at Augusta State University, regardless of how long you have been away from ASU, you must re-apply through the Office of Admissions. In addition, you must provide the Office of Admissions with official transcripts of all college work attempted since your last enrollment in Augusta State University. Failure to provide required 14 Augusta State University Catalog transcripts may result in loss of credit or dismissal from Augusta State University. If you have not enrolled in Augusta State University, or attended any other college or university for four consecutive semesters, you must apply for readmission through the Office of the Registrar at least 30 days before the desired semester of re-entry. In order to determine degree requirements as a returning student, see the entry for "Graduation Requirements" in the "Academic Handbook" section of this catalog. Augusta State University-Paine College Co-enrollment Augusta State University and Paine College offer co-enrollment for students v/ho want courses that are not offered at the student's home institution during a given semester or for students who have schedule conflicts that may be resolved by co- enrollment. If you are enrolled at one institution for the equivalent of at least six semester hours of course work you may enroll for three or more semester hours of course work at the other institution. Courses for co-enrolled students from Paine College are offered on a space available basis, after the registration period for Augusta State University students. If you wish to enroll in courses for which prerequisites are required, you must, prior to registration, give the department chair transcript(s) showing successful completion of required prerequisite courses. This requirement may be waived only by the permission of the department chair. Submit your application for co-enrollment, official transcript, and immunization form to the other institution at least two weeks prior to the scheduled registration date. Applications are available from the Registrar's Office at Augusta State University. You will pay all fees required of a full-time student at your home institution. If you wish to register for an overload, you must satisfy the overload requirements of your home institution. International Students: Special Requirements if you are not a U.S. citizen or permanent resident, ask the Office of Admissions to send you its special information and an international application for international students. In addition to satisfying the regular requirements for admission, you must provide documented evidence of adequate financial support to meet educational and personal expenses. If academically eligible, you will also be required to remit a non-refundable tuition deposit of $2,000.00 U.S. by bank check , payable to Augusta State Augusta State University Catalog 15 University before we will issue and acceptance letter and 1-20. The following guidelines apply to the tuition deposit: Students who are receiving institutional support (athletic scholarships, graduate assistantships, etc.), students participating in formal exchange programs, or students sponsored by recognized international, education organizations such as Rotary Club, are exempt from this policy. If a student is denied a student visa and provides evidence to that effect, we will refund the tuition deposit. Students who receive a student visa and enter the United States, but do not matriculate for the semester to which they were admitted, forfeit their deposit. When we receive your tuition deposit, we will forward official notification that your deposit is on file at ASU, along with your 1-20 and letter of acceptance. We believe that evidence of a tuition deposit will assist you in acquiring a student visa. 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 1101). A minimum total score of 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: Computer based TOEFL score of 250 or higher: The student is admitted and placed in English 1 1 01 Z, a special section of Freshman English for non-native speakers. Computer based TOEFL score of 213 to 247: The student is admitted to University College and placed in English 0091 and Reading 0091. Computer based TOEFL score of 173 to 210: 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. 16 Augusta State University Catalog Educational Credential Evaluators, Inc.

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, and your tuition deposit has been received by Augusta State University. Augusta State University Catalog 17 ADMISSIONS DECISIONS AT AUGUSTA STATE UNIVERSITY Graduate and undergraduate applications 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 REGISTRA TION 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. 18 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. Example: Fall semester 2002 contains 108 calendar days, calculated as described above. The student withdraws from all classes on the 50th calendar day of the semester. 22 Augusta State University Catalog 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 100 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, 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 Augusta State University Catalog 23 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 fromi his or Petition for Georgia Residence Classification may request a review of that decision before the Vice President for Business and Student Services and shall submit such request in writing to the Dean of Students within twenty (20) days of the decision. If the petition is denied and the student/applicant wishes to petition for a later semester, a new Petition for Georgia Residence Classification must be submitted for that semester. OBJECTIVE STANDARDS FOR ACQUIRING IN-STATE STATUS For purposes of these regulations, a resident student is defined as a student domiciled in the state of Georgia. A nonresident is defined as one whose domicile is elsewhere. A student shall not be considered domiciled in Georgia unless he or she is in continuous physical residence in this state and intends to make Georgia his or her permanent home, not only while in attendance at an institution of the University System of Georgia, but indefinitely thereafter as well, and has no domicile or intent to be domiciled elsewhere. Normally a person from another state who comes to an institution of the University System of Georgia does so for the primary or sole purpose of attending the institution rather than to establish a domicile (residency) in Georgia. Thus, one who enrolls in a system institution as a nonresident is presumed to remain a nonresident throughout his or her attendance at the institution unless and until he or she demonstrates by clear and convincing evidence that his or her previous domicile has been abandoned and that Georgia domicile has been established. No person shall be eligible for classification as an in-state student unless he or she has been domiciled in Georgia and has resided in Georgia continuously for not less than 12 months immediately preceding the date of registration. However, there is a strong presumption that such person shall continue to be classified as 24 Augusta State University Catalog 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 Edgefield Counties, South Carolina, who wish to attend Augusta State University. Students must fill out a waiver form and have it signed by a magistrate. Military Personnel: Active duty military personnel and their spouses and legal dependents stationed in Georgia may qualify for waiver of non-resident tuition. Military personnel should contact the Education Center at their installation for Augusta State University Catalog 25 information about current financial and other assistance available to thenn 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 15.) Teachers: Full-time teachers in the public schools of Georgia and their de- pendent children may enroll as students in University System institutions on the payment of resident fees. Employees: All full-time employees in an institution of the University System, their spouses, and minor children may register for courses on the payment of resident fees, even though the employee has not been in residence in Georgia for a period of twelve months.

Augusta State University Catalog 27 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 33). A GPA is determined for each student at the end of each semester. It is similar to the Regent's GPA, but is based only on the hours attempted that semester. To determine the Institutional GPA, first compute the number of hours attempted by summing together those hours associated with the most recent attempts of courses taken at Augusta State University numbered from 1000 through 4999 in which a grade of A, B, C, D, F, or WF has been 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. 28 Augusta State University Catalog 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 transfer credit 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 suspension. Students who earn an Institutional GPA (or Academic Renewal GPA, see below) of less than 2.00 will be placed on academic probation. Students on probation may continue to attend Augusta State University only if they meet the following minimum requirements which are based on credit level. Required Minimum Average Credit Level either Term GPA or Institutional 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 Learning Support program as a condition of reinstatement. See Learning Support, Rules for Students on (page 38). Having appealed and having been reinstated according to the above procedure, should the student again fail to meet the probation requirements, the student again will be suspended. Normally a student will not be reinstated after the fourth suspension Augusta State University Catalog 29 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. Financial aid policies regarding Satisfactory Academic Progress are still in effect. The minimum grade point average needed for admission to particular programs may or may not utilize the 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 earned on those hours. (The Institutional and Regent's GPA's are identical.) A GPA of 3.00 must be maintained on all courses attempted in a graduate program. For more information, consult listings of specific programs in the Graduate Programs section of this catalog. Additional Baccalaureate Degree A student holding a baccalaureate degree from a regionally accredited college or university who wishes to work for another degree must complete the minimum residence requirements of the university (30 hours of course work in courses numbered 3000 or above with an average grade of C or better) with at least 30 hours of resident credit in excess of the requirement for the original degree. In addition, he or she must complete the exact requirements of major courses, allied fields, mathematics, and foreign languages. 30 Augusta State University Catalog 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 from 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. 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 Augusta State University Catalog 31 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 28. Course Substitution Each student is responsible for following the requirements of his or her selected program as specified in the catalog and in accordance with the regulations of the catalog. Variations in course requirements are permitted only upon petition and the written approval of the chairman of the department responsible for the required course and the appropriate dean. The approved change to the program of study will be forwarded to the Office of the Registrar. Variations from course requirements are approved only under exceptional circumstances and only in cases where courses of the same academic value and type can be substituted. Curriculum Changes The academic programs of Augusta State University are offered through the College of Business Administration, the College of Education and the Katherine Reese Pamplin College of Arts and Sciences. These units, including the appropriate departments, furnish the basic organization of the faculty and provide the framework for the generation and maintenance of quality education in the 32 Augusta State University Catalog 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 38). Developmental Studies, Rules for Students in See Learning Support, Rules for Students in (page 38) Grade Changes Any grade changes must be accomplished in the semester immediately following the semester in which the grade was originally reported. Grading System, Undergraduate Grades used in calculating the undergraduate grade point average are as follows: Grade Meaninq 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: /; Incomplete-Student doing satisfactory work, but unable to meet the full requirements of the course because of non-academic reasons. The maximum time for completing course work to remove an I is one semester; otherwise, the I will be automatically changed to F. W: Withdrawal, without penalty-The W will be assigned if the student officially withdraws from the course by semester midterm, unless the student has been charged with academic dishonesty. A grade of WF will be assigned after midterm unless the student withdraws because of non-academic hardship and has a passing average at the time of withdrawal. S: Satisfactory*-lndicates satisfactory completion of degree requirements other than academic course work. Augusta State University Catalog 33 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-lndicates 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, internship, and proficiency requirements in graduate programs, and specifically designated courses. Graduation Requirements: Undergraduate All candidates for the bachelor's degree at Augusta State University must satisfy the following conditions: Students must earn 39 or more hours in upper level courses with at least 21 hours in the major and 15 to 18 total hours in the minor, depending upon the field, with a grade of "C" or better in each course 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 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 71). 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. 34 Augusta State University Catalog 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 72). Course Requirements: Complete a minimum of 60 hours for the associate degree or 1 20 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 37). 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 11 01 no later than the first semester they register following completion of 20 hours of Augusta State University residence/transfer credit, (b) Students must continue to register for English 1101 each successive semester until they have 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 Augusta State University Catalog 35 for English 1102 each successive semester until they have completed the course with a grade of C or better. Grade Point Average: Achieve an institutional grade point average (see page 33) 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:\n 1 975, the Georgia legislature enacted a measure that requires all graduates to have passed examinations on the history of the United States and of Georgia and on the provisions and principles of the constitutions of the United States and of Georgia. No academic credit is given for these examinations, which are administered each semester by the Counseling and Testing Center in Bellevue Hall. Certain history and political science courses (i. e., HIST 21 1 1 , HIST 21 12, HIST 371 1 , POLS 1 1 01 , and POLS 4101), which are described later in the catalog, will satisfy this requirement. Students who fail one or both of the examinations should contact the chair of the appropriate department (History or Political Science) soon after the examination date. Pliysical 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 1000 (3 hrs.) Swimming (1 hr.) 36 Augusta State University Catalog Waivers and Substitutions : Waivers are the same for the Baccalaureate Degree program and the Associate Degree program, as follows: (A) Wellness 1000 (3 hrs.) All students are required to successfully complete this course with the following exception. Nursing Students: Nursing students may satisfy the Wellness 1000 (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. To take the swim proficiency exam, students must present a valid student I.D. card and report to the lifeguard at the pool during the hours of recreation swim on the day of the exam. Residence Requirements and Credit from Otfier 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 baccalaureate 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 41 .) Special Examinations: Special examinations may be required of the student as he or she progresses through various levels of the curriculum. Augusta State University Catalog 37 Graduation with Honors: Excellence in academic work is recognized at gradu- ation by the award of honor rank in general scholarship. The cumulative grade point average is used in the awarding of academic honors. A student who averages 3.85 or more is graduated summa cum laude; one who averages 3.65, but less than 3.85, is graduated magna cum laude; and one who averages 3.50, but less than 3.65, is graduated cum laude. This distinction of high academic achievement is placed on the student's diploma and is noted on the permanent record. A student who has transferred to Augusta State University is eligible to graduate with honors only if the grade point average for his or her university career meets one of the above requirements and the student has completed at least 60 hours of courses in residence for the bachelor's degree (30 hours in residence for the associate's degree). Also the Augusta State University regents GPA must meet the above requirements. The honors will be determined by the lower of the two GPAs. Honors Program The Augusta State University Honors Program offers special opportunities to superior undergraduate students who enjoy the challenges and rewards of a stimulating academic environment. Students in any major may apply for the Honors Program and complete requirements to be recognized as ASU Honors Program graduates. Honors classes are open to other excellent students on a space available basis. Honors classes are small, offer more personal contact with professors, and ask students and professors to explore course content actively and intensively; they do not, however, have a different grading scale and are not graded more strictly than other courses. A complete description of the ASU Honors Program is located at the beginning of the Undergraduate Programs section of this catalog. Learning Support, Rules for Students in A student in the Learning Support Program who is permitted to take regular credit courses is subject to the university regulations concerning probation and suspension. However, these regulations do not apply to hours of "institutional credit" attempted or earned. 1 . During each semester of enrollment, all Learning Support students, including those attending part-time, must first register for all required Learning Support courses before being allowed to register for other courses. Two exceptions are possible: a. When two or three Learning Support courses are required and a student is enrolled in at least one Learning Support course, a freshman orientation course or physical education or other activity or performance courses may be taken that semester instead of one of the required Learning Support courses. These courses must be chosen from Augusta State University orientation (ASUO 1000), physical education (WELL), military science (MILS), or music (MUSA or MUSI). 38 Augusta State University Catalog 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 and 1101; English 0097 and 0099 are prerequisites for English 1101; Biology 21 1 1 and Biology 21 12; Reading 0097 and 0099 are prerequisites for English 1101. b. In addition, students who are enrolled in Reading 0097 may enroll only in the following credit courses: Mathematics courses; all 1000-level Applied Music (MUSA) courses; all music ensembles and all 0000 - 1000-level music courses; all 1000- and 2000-level art courses; 1000- and 2000-levei 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. 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. Augusta State University Catalog 39 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. 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, 1 8 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 (1 5 hours for associate degree candidates) at the beginning of, but not including, the semester of current enrollment. 40 Augusta State University Catalog 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 (1 5 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 34) 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, 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 Index 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 Augusta State University Catalog 41 the cutoff score specified for eacii 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 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 1 1 02. 2. Students required to enroll in English 1101, 1102, 0510 and/or 0520 as required above must meet all requirements of these courses. Students required to take English 1101, 1102, 0510, and/or 0520 may not take an overload or withdraw from this class. Students who miss the equivalent of one week of class will be withdrawn from the class, prohibited from taking the Regents' Test that semester, and made ineligible to register at Augusta State University for the following semester. 42 Augusta State University Catalog 3. Part-time students taking only one course per semester may be permitted to taltudent 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 )f the contents of their records. Directory information concerning an individual student, including name, address, 3-mail address, telephone number, date and place of birth, height and weight of members of athletic teams, major, participation in athletic and student activities, jates of attendance, degrees, awards and honors, photographs and most recent nstitution attended, is generally available for release unless a student specifically equests in writing that this information not be released. This request must be submitted in writing to the Registrar's Office.

Balancing breadth and depth, the ASU Honors Program includes sections of core courses specifically designed for able and energetic learners, seminars that cross the boundaries of discipline and/or culture, a thesis, and the possibility of additional honors work in the major field. The Honors Program is not a separate degree program, but is designed to augment the course work required for a degree. In most cases, honors courses can be substituted for required credits. The Honors Program is temporarily housed in Butler Hall D7 (667-4445, 737-1500). The ASU Honors Program is affiliated with the National Collegiate Honors Council, the 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, * a departmental honors course (departmentally approved independent study 7^ Augusta State University Catalog 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 taking several additional courses, students should seek acceptance into the program and begin taking honors courses early in their careers. Transfer students who bring in an unadjusted 3.4 GPA on at least 9 semester hours of course work from another institution and have SAT scores at least equivalent to those required of entering ASU honors freshmen will be eligible to register immediately for honors courses on a space available basis. They will be eligible to apply for admission to the Honors Program after they have completed 6 semester hours at ASU with an ASU overall GPA of 3.4. Honors courses taken before a student is formally admitted to the program may count toward Honors Program Graduation. Students transferring from another institution's Honors Program are subject to the general transfer policy defined above, but, once admitted to the Honors Program, will be able to count Honors Program hours completed at their previous institution(s) toward completing Honors Program Requirements at ASU. ASU students who are not simultaneously in Learning Support, and who have completed 6 or more semester hours at ASU with an unadjusted GPA of 3.4 may take Honors Program courses on a space available basis.
