Augusta State University
Augusta, Georgia 30904-2200

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

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

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

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

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

A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

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

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

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

Welcome to Augusta State University!

Sincerely yours,

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

INTRODUCTION TO AUGUSTA STATE UNIVERSITY

A Brief History of Augusta State University

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

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

As a member of the University System of Georgia, Augusta State University is the
primary public institution of higher learning in the state's second largest city. While
it shares the technological and innovative resources of the University System,
it maintains the historical roots that make the learning experience as unique as
the campus itself. The university is well known for its dedication to expanding
educational opportunities for people of all ages and backgrounds, with a special
emphasis on service to Georgians in the Central Savannah River Area. We express
this dedication in the first sentence of our mission statement, the central point of
reference for all our academic and other programs (The full text of the ASU Mission
Statement begins on page 3.):

As a unit of the University System of Georgia, 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 lifelong love of learning.

Accreditations

Augusta State University is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the
Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) (1866 Southern Lane,
Decatur, Georgia 30033-4097: Telephone number 404-679-4500, extension 553) 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

Augusta State University Catalog

of the University System of Georgia. The College of Business Administration is fully
accredited by the International Association for Management Education (AACSB).
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 (PSC) and accredited by the National
Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE). The nursing program is
approved by and accredited by the Georgia Board of Nursing. The music programs
are accredited by the National Association of Schools of Music (NASM).

The University System of Georgia

The University System of Georgia includes all state-operated institutions of higher
education in Georgia: four research universities, two regional universities, 13 state
universities, two state colleges, and 1 3 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. An 18-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 to certificates and to degrees,
ranging from the associate (two-year) level to the doctoral level. Requirements for
admission of students to instructional programs at each institution are determined,
pursuant to policies of the Board of Regents, by the institution. The Board establishes
minimum academic standards and leaves to each institution the prerogative to
establish higher standards. Applications for admission should be addressed in all
cases to the institutions.

Public Service/Continuing Education consists of non-degree activities, primarily,
and special types of college-degree-credit courses. The non-degree activities
are of several types, including short courses, seminars, conferences, lectures,
and consultative and advisory services in a broad range of interests. Typical
college-degree-credit public service/continuing education courses are those offered
through extension center programs.

Research encompasses investigations conducted primarily fordiscovery and applica-
tion 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

As a unit of the University System of Georgia, 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 lifelong love of learning.

This mission is based upon the value of a liberal arts education for students who are
diverse in ethnicity, background, age, and preparation.

The mission obligates the university to be open to the voices of all its members,
to be responsive to the needs of its community, and to measure its success by the
success of its students.

To accomplish its mission, the university offers undergraduate programs in arts,
sciences, and professional fields of study, as well as graduate programs below
the doctoral level. It fosters the intellectual growth of students through learning
assistance in a university college, honors courses, and student research and
cultivates faculty members who are excellent in teaching, active in scholarship, and
generous in service.

Educational Goals

1. To provide students with a strong foundation in the liberal arts and sciences.

2. To offer a broad array of undergraduate programs and a select offering of
graduate programs below the doctoral level.

3. To provide access to higher education for both those who are fully ready for
college and those who are under-prepared but show potential, and to those
seeking the kind of academic challenge normally associated with elite, private
institutions.

4. To foster intellectual growth through learning assistance, honors courses, and
student research.

5. To promote electronic information technologies and link students with the world
community of knowledge.

6. To provide undergraduate general education courses for MCG, prepare students
to enter programs at MCG, and educate others to work in the medical field.

7. To provide training for the area's teachers and business leaders.

8. To enrich the community culturally, to improve economic and social conditions
in the area, and to promote personal and professional development for area
citizens.

9. To develop and maintain an intellectually vital faculty who are excellent in
teaching, active in research, generous in service, and committed to the mission
of the university.

10. To have the faculty, staff, curriculum, and programs reflect the increasing
diversity of the population and world from which the university's students come.

should apply at least 90 days prior to the beginning of the desired semester.

Students who do not register in the semester for which they are admitted and wish
to attend a later semester should inform the Office of Admissions at least 30 days
prior to the desired semester of entrance. If one year has expired since the initial

are considered when all required documents have been received. Notification of
acceptance is by mail. The Office of Admissions requires the following:

Official Application Form: A candidate seeking admission must file an official
application for admission prior to the specified deadline. An application may be
obtained from the Office of Admissions and local high schools. Care should be
taken to answer all questions on the application. An incomplete application will

applicants who have not previously enrolled at ASU.

Official Transcript(s) of Courses Completed: A freshman candidate should ask
his or her guidance department to send an official copy of the secondary school
record. A transfer candidate should ask the registrar from each accredited college
attended to send an official transcript of grades (a separate transcript from each
college). A holder of a GED certificate must request that an official score report

including English Composition I and College Algebra or Mathematical Modeling,
must also submit SAT or ACT results. The College Board code number assigned
to Augusta State University is 5336. For information concerning test dates and
centers, students should consult their high school or college guidance office.

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

Immunization: All new students, born 1957 or later, enrolling in schools within
the University System of Georgia, are required to provide proof of immunization

Augusta State University Catalog

ADMISSIONS REQUIREMENTS

Admissions requirements depend on the degree program you wish to enter. For
freshman admissions, further information is available from the Office of Admissions.
(See page 4 for hours and phone numbers.)

Freshman Admissions Requirements

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

English: 4 units required

Mathematics: algebra, 2 units required; geometry, 1 unit required; 1

additional unit of higher mathematics beyond Algebra II required.
Science: 3 units required.
Social Science: 3 units required.
Foreign Language: The same foreign language, 2 units required.

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

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

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

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

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

Freshman Index > 1 940

Test Scores*: SAT Verbal score of 430+ and a SAT Math score of 400+

or
ACT English and Mathematics score of >17
College Preparatory Curriculum (CPC): 16 required units must have been
completed in high school.

*Students with verbal and/or math SAT scores less than 450 or ACT English less
than 18 and/or ACT math less than 19 will take the appropriate portions of the
COMPASS Examination for placement.

Augusta State University Catalog

Limited Admission: Freshman applicants who show potential but fail to satisfy
any one of the requirements above may be eligible for limited admission if they
meet the following criteria listed below:
Freshman Index > 1 790

Test Scores*: SAT Verbal score of 430+ and a SAT Math score of 400+

or
ACT English and Mathematics score of >17
College Preparatory Curriculum (CPC):16 required units must have been
completed in high school.

Admission to University College: University College is a two-year unit of
Augusta State University designed to assist Georgia resident students who live
within a fifty mile radius but do not meet the admissions requirements for the
university. Applicants who do not meet regular admissions standards will be
reviewed for consideration for admission to University College.

Freshman Index: > 1 640

Test Scores*: SAT verbal >330 and SAT math >310

or
ACT English > 12 and ACT Math > 14
CPC: must have earned 13 units in high school.
COMPASS Exam will be required.

Home School Freshmen: University System of Georgia policy dictates that in
addition to SAT I scores and Freshman Index, students must present sixteen
specific college preparatory curriculum units or CPCs to be accepted to a state
university and a minimum of thirteen units to be accepted to a two-year program
for students graduating from high school 2001 and beyond. (See prevailing regular
freshman admission standards for specific details, above.) These units must be
completed in high schools that have been accredited by a regional accreditation
association (such as SACS) or the Georgia Accrediting Commission, the Georgia
Private School Accrediting Commission, the Accrediting Council for Independent
Study or from a public high school regulated by a school system and the State
Department of Education.

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,
five 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 or five
to validate CPC subjects will be reviewed by a university committee consisting of
the Associate Vice President for Academic Affairs, Director of Admissions, and the
Associate Director of Admissions.

Augusta State University Catalog

Options:

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 th 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 1 9 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 1 8 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 II 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 validate CPC units.

(1) an overall 3.00 high school average in all academic courses completed

(2) a combined SAT score of 1100 or higher with at least a 490 on the verbal
section and a 450 on the math section (or equivalent ACT score). In addition,
a minimum verbal score of 530 and a math score of 530 are needed to take
those respective courses.

(3) completed Georgia Student Finance Commission ACCEL Program
Application. This form can be found on the ASU website at http://www.aug.
edu/startup/menuje.htm.

(4) a personal interview with a university admissions officer

If the SAT verbal score is 530 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 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 College
Algebra or Mathematical Modeling. These students must have at least a
2.0 or greater for non-probationary entrance. All others will be reviewed
for possible entrance into Augusta State University on probation, or into
University College. Students with 30 or more transferable semester hours,
but lacking College Composition I and/or College Algebra or Mathematical
Modeling will take the appropriate parts of the COMPASS Examination.

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

10

1 u Augusta State University Catalog

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 allow 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:

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 Testing and Disabilities Center,
(706)737-1469.

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 applicants must:

(1) File a completed application form.

(2) Submit a letter of permission confirming good standing from the registrar of
the college in which enrolled or matriculated. In addition, applicants must
submit an official transcript from their home institution. Applicants can be

Augusta State University Catalog

admitted to Augusta State University as transient students only if they are
currently eligible for re-admission to their home institution.
(3) If applicants wish to enroll in courses for which prerequisites are required,
they must, prior to registration, give the department chair transcripts showing
successful completion of required prerequisite courses. This requirement
may be waived only by the permission of the department chair.

Transient students will be required to adhere to the same academic standards that
govern regularly enrolled students. They may renew their status for additional
enrollment periods for a maximum of two semesters per calendar year. For an
exception of a third semester, they must submit written approval from their 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
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, applicants 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

A non-degree applicant is classified as a student interested in enrolling at Augusta
State University for credit without pursuing a college degree. The non-degree
student may be a transient student (see above), post-baccalaureate, postgraduate,
or audit student. A candidate for this type of limited enrollment seeks instruction
in particular courses for personal or professional purposes, or for completion of
degree requirements at another institution.

Applicants holding a baccalaureate degree or graduate degree from a regionally
accredited college and wishing to enroll in undergraduate courses as a non-degree
student 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 24). Senior citizens who pay
tuition are not required to register on a space available basis.

Former Student Readmission Requirements

Students who have attended any other college or university since their last enrollment
at Augusta State University, regardless of how long they have been away from ASU,
must re-apply through the Office of Admissions. In addition, they must provide the
Office of Admissions with official transcripts of all college work attempted since their
last enrollment in Augusta State University. Failure to provide required transcripts
may result in loss of credit or dismissal from Augusta State University.

Students who have not enrolled in Augusta State University or attended any other
college or university for four consecutive semesters, 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, returning students should see
the entry for Graduation Requirements: Undergraduate in this catalog.

Augusta State University-Paine College Co-enrollment

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

Students who are enrolled at one institution for the equivalent of at least six semester
hours of course work, 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.

Students wishing to enroll in courses for which prerequisites are required must, prior
to registration, give the department chair transcripts showing successful completion
of required prerequisite courses. This requirement may be waived only by the
permission of the department chair.

Students should submit applications for co-enrollment, official transcripts, and
immunization forms 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. Students will pay all fees required of a full-time student at their
home institution. Students wishing to register for an overload must satisfy the
overload requirements of their home institution.

International Students: Special Requirements

Students who are not U.S. citizens or permanent residents should ask the Office
of Admissions to send special information, including an international application,
for international students. In addition to satisfying the regular requirements for

Augusta State University Catalog * 3

admission, these students must provide documented evidence of adequate financial
support to meet educational and personal expenses.

If academically eligible, students will also be required to remit a non-refundable
tuition deposit of $2,000.00 (U.S.) by bank check, payable to Augusta State
University, before being issued an acceptance letter and a Certificate of Eligibility,
(Form 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.

A student who is denied a student visa and who provides evidence to that effect
will receive a refund of 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 ASU receives the student's tuition deposit and the student is officially
accepted, ASU will forward official notification that the student's deposit is on file,
along with his or her 1-20 and letter of acceptance. Evidence of a tuition deposit
may assist the student in acquiring a student visa.

The prescribed method for 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 transfer applicants who
lack credit for College Composition I (ENGL 1101). A minimum total score of 173
on the computer-based TOEFL or 61 on the Internet-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. Placement
in the first semester English classes is based on this score as follows:

Computer-based TOEFL score of 250 or higher or Internet-based TOEFL of
100 or higher: The student is admitted and placed in English 1101Z, a special
section of Freshman English for non-native speakers.

Computer-based TOEFL score of 213 to 247 or Internet-based TOEFL of 79/80
to 98/99: The student is admitted and placed in English 0091 and Reading
0091.

Computer-based TOEFL score of 173 to 210 or Internet-based TOEFL of 61 to
77/78: The student is admitted and placed in English 0090 and Reading 0090.

International students, or students for whom English is a second language, who
complete the ESL program at Augusta State University or who declare English
as their second language and who have already completed English 1101 should

14

^ Augusta State University Catalog

contact the Department of Languages, Literature, and Communications for the
policy concerning the Regents' Test process.

All international, post-secondary transcripts must be forwarded to a credential
evaluation agency for a "course by course" evaluation. Official evaluations (sent
directly to Augusta State University) from one of these agencies are acceptable:
World Education Services at www.wes.org; Educational Credential Evaluators at
www.ece.org; and Josef Silny & Associates at www.jsilny.com. The official credential
evaluation is required before an application for admissions can be processed.

For eligibility 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, they
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 the student until an offer of acceptance has been extended and the
student's tuition deposit has been received by Augusta State University.

ADMISSIONS DECISIONS AT AUGUSTA STATE UNIVERSITY

Graduate and undergraduate applications to Augusta State University are considered
on an individual basis. After all required data have been received, the student 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. Appeals of admission denials for
reasons other than an applicant's credentials shall be referred by the President to
a committee composed of the chairs of the Faculty Policies and Academic Policies
Committees and the chair of the Student Judicial Cabinet.

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 counseling
designed to aid the student in overcoming his or her academic deficiencies.

Undergraduate Admissions Decision Notification

Undergraduate applicants may check the status of an application online at http://
www.aug.edu/admissions/html/applications.html Undergraduate applicants will be
notified by letter as to the conditions of acceptance. Included in the same mailing will
be orientation and registration information and the assigned department for advising.
Students accepted on an unofficial or incomplete transcript must submit a final and
official transcript before the admission is final. If this information has not been
received by the day of registration, students 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, students are sent an information packet which includes registration
details, document requests, and special program information. Students 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.

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

1 Augusta State University Catalog

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
that includes the opportunity to register-with the aid of an academic advisor.

Augusta State University Catalog

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

FEES AND OTHER COSTS
Registration at the beginning of each semester is not complete until all general
fees have been paid, and no student may be admitted to classes without having
met his or her financial obligations.

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

Tuition and fees may be paid in the Business Office using cash, check, financial
aid credits, Visa, MasterCard or Discover. Credit card payments, web check
payments, and financial aid credits may also be applied to your account on the
Internet by selecting ELROY on the ASU home page (www.aug.edu). A $25.00
service charge is assessed on any check that is not paid on presentation to the
bank on which it is drawn. A student is given ten (10) working days to clear a
returned check given to pay tuition and fees. If the check is not cleared within the
specified period, the check is given to Public Safety for collection. A check given
during Priority Registration that is not honored by the bank, and not cleared by the
first day of the term, will result in cancellation of the student's enrollment.

Augusta State University reserves the right to withhold all records (diplomas,
transcripts, etc.) and/or revoke enrollment of students who fail to meet financial
obligations to Augusta State University. All matriculation charges, board, room
rent, or other charges are subject to change at the end of any semester. Fees and

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'that the student completed in the semester
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 2005 contains 109 calendar days, calculated as described
above. The student withdraws from all classes on the 50th calendar day of the
semester.

50 divided by 108 = 46% (This is referred to as the "earned portion.")

100% minus 46 = 54% (This is referred to as the "unearned portion.")

Refundable institutional charges multiplied by 54% = 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.

Special note: The withdrawal/return of funds policy for the Hope Scholarship
program has changed. Under the new policy, a complete withdrawal from
the University may require the student to return a portion of the Hope
Scholarship to the Georgia Student Finance Commission. You will lose
your future eligibility for future State Aid until you have repaid your
Hope Scholarship obligation. For complete information about this change,
contact the Office of Financial Aid or the Business Office.

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.

Augusta State University Catalog 21

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. Also, under new regulations issued by the U.S. Department of
Education, federal financial aid recipients who do not complete any class and who
do not follow the withdrawal process may be required to pay an amount equal to half
of the federal financial aid applied to charges for tuition and fees.
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.

REGENTS' 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 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 (1 5 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 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 Student Services, submitting such request in writing within
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 non-resident 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 non-resident is presumed to remain a non-
resident throughout his or her attendance at the institution unless and until he or she
demonstrates by clear and convincing evidence that his or her previous domicile
has been abandoned and that Georgia domicile has been established.

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

Augusta State University Catalog 23

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

c. The lease of living quarters.

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

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

f. Location of bank or saving accounts.

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

Military Personnel: Active duty military personnel and their spouses and legal
dependents stationed in Georgia may qualify for waiver of non-resident tuition.
Military personnel should contact the Education Center at their installation for
information about current financial and other assistance available to them as
members of the armed forces. All military personnel planning to use military tuition
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 and Superior Out-of-State Students: These 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 two 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 non-resident 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 13.)

Teachers: Full-time teachers in the public schools of Georgia and their spouses
and 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 dependent 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.

Families Moving to Georgia: Adependent student who, as of the first day of term of
enrollment, can provide documentation supporting that his or her supporting parent
or court-appointed guardian has accepted full-time, self-sustaining employment and
established domicile in the State of Georgia for reasons other than gaining the
benefit of favorable tuition rates, may qualify immediately for an out of state tuition
differential waiver which will expire 12 months from the date the waiver is granted.

At that time, an affected student must petition for residency status according to
established procedures.

FINANCIAL AID

The mission of the Office of Student Financial Aid is to provide financial resources to
all qualified applicants who would like to obtain a postsecondary education. In doing
so, the Office of Student Financial Aid supports the mission of the university in its
commitment to excellence in teaching, advancement of knowledge, and enrichment
of the community, in that many students would not have the wherewithal to access
said commitment without adequate financial support.

The process of applying for financial aid may seem complicated, but it really isn't.
The Financial Aid staff will work with students to help them complete the process.
Students may complete their Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)
online at www.fafsa.ed.gov., or if they wish to apply for the HOPE Scholarship only,
they may use the HOPE Alternate Application which is available on our web site.

To receive aid under any of the federal or state programs, a student must:

1 . Be a citizen of the United States or be in the United States for other than a

temporary purpose, or otherwise be classified as an eligible non-citizen.

2. Demonstrate financial need (where applicable).

3. Make satisfactory academic progress as defined by the Financial Aid Office.

The annual application deadlines for each term are: Fall Semester - June 1;
Spring Semester - October 1; and Summer Semester - March 1. The deadlines
will serve two primary functions: 1 ) If a student's financial aid file is complete by the
published deadline, his or her file should be processed prior to the published fee
payment deadline; and 2) The Financial Aid Office will electronically transmit his or
her FAFSA prior to the deadline; however, after the deadline, the student must file
his or her FAFSA online.

Basically, all financial aid programs fall into one of four categories: grants, loans,
scholarships and employment opportunities. A comprehensive listing of the aid
programs is available in the Financial Aid Office. Students may contact us by
telephone at 706-737-1431, fax 706-737-1777, visit our web site www.aug.edu/
financialaid/ or email us at finaid@aug.edu or visit us on the second floor of Payne
Hall. Institutional forms are available in a PDF format on our website. ASU also
encourages students to explore other financial aid opportunities outside of Augusta
State University. Their family background, affiliations and activities may provide
keys to other sources of assistance. Publications in a student's local or school
library or guidance office will assist students in obtaining information on scholarship
programs. Web sites are also available.

All scholarships awarded by the Augusta State University Scholarship and Financial
Assistance Committee require an institutional scholarship application, available in
the Financial Aid Office or on our web site. The application deadline is March 1 for
the upcoming academic year.

^ Augusta State University Catalog

The primary responsibility for financing a college education belongs to the student
and his or her family. Students who need financial assistance are expected to
work for and borrow a reasonable portion of the funds needed to meet expenses.
A student's family is expected to make a maximum effort to assist in satisfying the
cost of education.

ACADEMIC REGULATIONS and INFORMATION

This section explains regulations that affect students after admission. Regulations
regarding admission may be found in the Admissions Policies and Enrollment

section of this catalog (page 4).

When a student registers at Augusta State University, he or she accepts the official
academic regulations. The student is expected to follow the program outlined by
his or her college and department and should do sufficient planning, in consultation
with his or her faculty advisor, to avoid scheduling difficulties which may impede
normal academic progress. The student should plan his or her program so as to
meet the core curriculum, graduation, and major and minor requirements.

Academic Standing and Grade Point Averages

Undergraduates: There are two grade point average computations in use at
Augusta State University. These computations produce a student's Institutional
GPA and Regents' GPA. The Regents' GPA is used to measure the quality of a
student's entire performance while at Augusta State University. The Regents' 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 Regents' 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 Regents' GPA, but is based
only on the hours attempted that semester.

The Institutional GPA's determined by computing 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. 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.

^ Augusta State University Catalog

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 GPAs, 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 are restricted to a
twelve-hour course load and 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
backtoASU.

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
30 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
the Registrar.

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 condi-
tion of reinstatement. See Learning Support, Rules for Students in (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.

Academic Renewal: The Academic Renewal policy allows Augusta State University
undergraduate, degree-seeking students who have experienced significantacademic
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.

Augusta State University Catalog ^

Restrictions : The student must apply for academic renewal at the time of re-
enrollment or within three academic semesters of re-enrollment or one calendar
year (whichever comes first). 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 were
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 Regents' 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 Regents' 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 Regents' GPAs are identical.) A GPA of 3.00 must be maintained in 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 uni-
versity 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.

ou Augusta State University Catalog

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 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

Augusta State University Catalog 31

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 1 000 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, 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 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 judgment 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 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 37).

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*-! ndicates satisfactory completion of degree requirements other
than academic course work.

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 1 5 to 1 8 total hours in the minor (if a minor is required), 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.)

Augusta State University Catalog 33

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). 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 will
receive a degree at the end of the term completed. These students may elect to
walk during the May ceremony of that year or may elect to wait until the following
May ceremony. Degree candidates are encouraged to attend graduation exercises.
However, if they are unable to do so, they are required to notify the Office of the
Registrar 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. Astudentwho 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 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 36).

34 Augusta State University Catalog

Degree Requirements in Effect at Candidacy for Graduation: A candidate for
graduation is subject to requirements in effect at the time of initial enrollment;
however, changes may have been made while the student is enrolled. The changes
in requirements shall be implemented so as to minimize the problems of transition
for currently enrolled students, but since some changes are considered to be
improvements, the new requirements may apply. Exceptions may be made by the
department chairperson in conjunction with the advisor, appropriate department
faculty, and, as necessary, the dean.

A student who is not enrolled for two or more consecutive years or who transfers
for two or more semesters to another institution will be required to complete a new
application for graduation and will be subject to the requirements for graduation
in effect at that time, or if readmitted, will be subject to the requirements in effect
at the time of readmission.

English 1101 and 1102, When to Enroll: (a) Students must enroll in English 1101
no later than the first semester they register following completion of 20 hours of
Augusta State University residence/transfer credit, (b) Students must continue to
register for English 1101 each successive semester until they have completed the
course with a grade of C or better, (c) Students who complete 1101 must enroll
in English 1102 no later than the first semester they register following completion
of 30 hours credit, (d) Students must continue to register for English 1102 each
successive semester until they have completed the course with a grade of C or
better.

Grade Point Average: Students must 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: In 1975, 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 Testing and
Disability Center.

Certain history and political science courses (i.e., HIST 2111, HIST 2112, HIST
3711, POLS 1101, 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.

Physical Education Requirement: Students must 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.

Augusta State University Catalog 35

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.)

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 hrs.) 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 recreational swimming on the day of the
exam.

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 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.

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.

Students with SAT-I Verbal scores of at least 510 or ACT Reading scores of at least
23 will be considered to have fulfilled the reading comprehension requirements of
the Regents' test and do not need to take the reading portion of the Regents' Test.
Scores must be from a national administration of the SAT or ACT.

Students with the following combinations of SAT Verbal or ACT English scores and
grades in ENGL 1101 will be considered to have fulfilled the writing requirements
of the Regents' test and do not need to take the essay portion of the Regents'
Test:

1 . Students with SAT-I Verbal scores of at least 530 or ACT English scores of
at least 23 who also earn an A in ENGL 1101.

2. Students with SAT-1 Verbal scores of at least 590 or ACT English scores of
at least 26 who also earn a B in ENGL 1101.

In addition, students with College Board Advanced Placement (AP) English
scores of at least a 3, International Baccalaureate (IB) higher-level English scores
of at least 4, or SAT II English Writing scores of at least 650 will be considered
as having fulfilled the essay requirement of the Regents' Test and students with
these scores do not need to take the essay portion of the Regents' Test. (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.

Graduation with Honors: Excellence in academic work is recognized at
graduation 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
(MUSAorMUSI).

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
2111 and Biology 2112; 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-level Military
Science courses; all 1000-level Physical Education courses; Military Science
courses; Communication/Drama 2500, 2510.

c. Students enrolled in Reading 0099 may enroll in the courses listed above, in
Communication/ Speech 1010 and 1020 and in ASUO 1000.

3 Augusta State University Catalog

3. Once assigned to the Learning Support Program, a student may not accumulate
more than 20 hours of academic credit before completing all Learning Support
requirements. A student who accumulates 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 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 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 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 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 in 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

COMPASS Exam)
IP: insufficient progress (passed course-work, passed institutional requirement.

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

requirement, ineligible to attempt COMPASS; withdrew after midterm)

Augusta State University Catalog 39

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, 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 Regents' 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 Regents' 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 33) 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,

4 Augusta State University Catalog

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 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.

3. Students with SAT-I Verbal scores of at least 510 or ACT Reading scores of
at least 23 will be considered to have fulfilled the reading comprehension
requirements of the Regents' test and do not need to take the reading portion
of the Regents' Test. Scores must be from a national administration of the
SAT or ACT.

Students with the following combinations of SAT Verbal or ACT English scores
and grades in ENGL 1101 will be considered to have fulfilled the writing
requirements of the Regents' test and do not need to take the essay portion
of the Regents' Test:

1 . Students with SAT-I Verbal scores of at least 530 or ACT English scores

of at least 23 who also earn an A in ENGL 1101.

2. Students with SAT-1 Verbal scores of at least 590 or ACT English
scores of at least 26 who also earn a B in ENGL 1101.

In addition, students with College Board Advanced Placement (AP) English
scores of at least a 3, International Baccalaureate (IB) higher-level English
scores of at least 4, or SAT II English Writing scores of at least 650 will be
considered as having fulfilled the essay requirement of the Regents' Test

Augusta State University Catalog 41

and students with these scores do not need to take the essay portion of the
Regents' Test.

C) When to take the Regents' Test:

1. Students who have satisfactorily completed English 1101 or 1113 or have
earned 20 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 preregister or register for subsequent semesters until they
have signed up to take the test during the next semester. Students who fail to
take the test for a second time will not be allowed to register for subsequent
semesters until they have taken the test.

2. Students are required to take only the segment(s) that they have not passed
or exempted.

3. Transfer students will be held to all policies as described herein.

4. Non-native speakers of English who have followed the ESL track for their
English classes should contact the Department of Languages, Literature
and Communications for specific procedures concerning the Regents' Test
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: students who have earned 45 hours
of credit or more must take RGTR 0198 and/or RGTE 0199 (as appropriate)
for remediation whether or not they have completed English 1101 or 1102.

2. Students required to enroll in English 1101, 1102, RGTR 0198 and/or RGTE
01 99 as required above must meet all requirements of these courses. Students
required to take English 1101, 1102, 0510, and/or RGTE 0199 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 pass-

Augusta State University Catalog

ing 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 Communications. The student
should enroll in RGTE 0199 and take' the copy of the essay to his or her first
class. The instructor will review and mark the essay indicating if he or she thinks
the essay should be appealed. If the instructor and the student agree that the
essay should be appealed, they will submit an unmarked copy of the essay to a
committee consisting of three faculty members appointed by the Vice President
for Academic Affairs. If the student does not concur with the 0199 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 per-
ceived errors in ratings. The review is not automatically indicated by a student's
failure to pass the essay. A review is indicated only when there is substantial
question concerning the accuracy of scoring and when the criteria set forth in the
first sentence of this section on Review of Essay have been met.

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

Transient and Co-enrolled Augusta State University Students

An Augusta State University student must be in good standing and must obtain prior
approval to enroll in any and all credit courses at any other institution as a transient
or co-enrolled student. This prior approval of each course must be obtained from
the Augusta State University department or college that offers a course most
comparable to the one that will be taken elsewhere. A transient student is defined
as a degree candidate at Augusta State University who is granted the privilege
of temporary registration at another 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 institution 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 Fs, and WFs in
all courses, and Ds, Fs and WFs in English 1101, English 1 1 02, and major and minor
courses.) A statement granting permission to attend another accredited institution
will be provided by the Augusta State University Registrar after department or
college approval has been obtained.

Augusta State University Catalog 43

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 32.

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 the Registrar (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 absences. (See Class Attendance, page
31, for attendance policies and Grading System, page 33, for grading policy upon
withdrawal.) The official date of withdrawal is the date the Withdrawal Form is
received in the Office of the Registrar.

Cultural and Entertainment Programs

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

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

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

Film Series: Each semester from August through May the university presents films
of outstanding international reputation. Most have been unavailable in local theaters

University, delivering information in a convenient, timely, cost-effective and
environmentally sensitive manner. It is the policy of this institution that:

all students, faculty and applicable personnel have access to email, and
the university may send official communications via email and electronic
mailing lists.

Student Email. All students registered for classes at Augusta State University
are provided an email account through their access to the ASU Campus Pipeline
system. The University may use this email account to send communications to the
student body. Student email addresses will be recorded in the university's electronic
directories and records. Students are responsible for reading official university email
in a timely fashion.

Privacy Issues. While email is personalized and relatively confidential, there is no
guarantee of absolute privacy in a computer system. Computer users should be
aware that the Georgia Open Records Act applies to records stored in computers
as well as on paper. Recent rulings indicate that the public has a right to review
any documents created on email by government officials and that companies who
own the media on which email is implemented have the right to read that email.
Federal and state law may require the university to examine email under some
circumstances including provision of messages to outside agencies. However,
employees of Information Technology Services at Augusta State University are
prohibited from accessing information for which they have no job-related "need to
know." They are also expected to maintain the strictest confidentiality regarding any
information obtained during the course of fulfilling their job function.

Appropriate Use of Email. All use of email will be consistent with other university
policies, including the Augusta State University computer and network usage policy.
Policies concerning acceptable use of information technology resources can be
found on the Information Technology Services website (www.aug.edu/its/policies.
html). Email is not appropriate for transmitting:

en

ou Augusta State University Catalog

sensitive or confidential information,
obscene material,
chain letters or "mail bombs,"
hoaxes, scams, false warnings, or
mass mailings.

Misuse of Augusta State University email is subject to penalty including, but not
limited to, suspension from email use, banning from email use, suspension from
Augusta State University, or expulsion from Augusta State University.

Legal Issues. All use of email will be consistent with local, state, and federal law
including laws against private use of state property, divulging confidential educational
records, copyright infringement, fraud, slander, libel, harassment, and obscenity.
Laws against obscene or harassing telephone calls apply to computers that are
accessed by telephone.

Procedures
Information Technology Services. Contact Information Technology Services
immediately if:

you are bothered by uninvited email and have asked the sender to cease

yet the email persists;

you require specific instructions about or assistance with email accounts.

Helpdesk services for students are also available from Information Technology
Services.

Student Use of Email. The following procedures apply to student email accounts:

1 ) Students are expected to check their Augusta State University official email
no less than twice per week;

2) Faculty may require students to check their email more frequently than
twice per week;

3) Faculty may also require students to subscribe to university provided

Endowed Professorship Positions

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

The Cree-Walker Chairs: The Cree-Walker Professorships in Business Administra-
tion, Communications, and Education were established in memory of the Reverend
and Mrs. Howard T. Cree and Mr. J. Miller Walker, the parents and husband of the late
Mrs. J. Miller Walker. The chair in business administration was established to help in
bridging theory to practice and maintaining links between the College of Business
Administration and the community. The chair in communications is intended to be

Augusta State University Catalog 51

a catalyst to enhance the interface between the School of Business Administration
and the communications program in the College of Arts and Sciences and to
ensure a contemporary perspective in teaching, research, and professional service
associated with the field of communications. The chair in College of Education is
intended to be a catalyst to enhance pre-service and in-service teacher education
programs at the university.

William S. Morris Eminent Scholar in Art: The Eminent Scholars Chair in Art
was approved in March of 1988 by the Board of Regents of the University System
of Georgia. The chair, named in honor of the late William S. Morris, is the first
Eminent Scholars Chair at any University System state university-level institution.
The $1 million endowment for the chair was established through contributions from
William S.. Morris III, chairman of the board and chief executive officer of Morris
Communications Corp., parent company of The Augusta Chronicle; the Georgia
General Assembly; and the Augusta State University Foundation, Inc. The Georgia
Eminent Scholars Endowment Trust Fund was created in 1985 by the Georgia
General Assembly. The purpose is to provide challenge grants to University System
of Georgia colleges and universities to endow chairs designed to attract eminent
scholars to join their faculties.

The Maxwell Chair: The Grover C. Maxwell Chair of Business Administration
was established by the three sons of Grover Cleveland Maxwell, Sr. A $150,000
trust fund was established to promote and encourage teaching proficiency and
high scholastic attainment at Augusta State University. The Maxwell Professor of
Business Administration is selected by the President of Augusta State University
with the advice of a special committee.

HIV Policy

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

The spread of HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) is a serious public health 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.

CO

*- Augusta State University Catalog

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Augusta State University Catalog 53

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 reused or shared. All sharps
and needles will be disposed of in puncture-resistant containers designated for
this purpose. All teaching laboratories should conform to OSHA standards for
management of blood-borne pathogens.

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

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.

13. 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. The portable pocket mask
will be used for artificial respiration by those performing CPR.

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

Testing and Disability Center (737-1469) (TDD 706-667-4684)

www.aug.edu/counseling_and_testing_center

The Testing and Disability Center provides national and institutional testing and
helps to ensure an accessible and positive college experience for students with
disabilities. The Center is located in the quadrangle next to Fanning Hall. Office
hours are 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Testing Services: The Office administers the institutional Scholastic Aptitude
Test (SAT), the American College Testing Program (ACT), the University System
of Georgia COMPASS exam and Regents' Testing Program and other institutional
testing programs. Other testing services include administration of national testing
programs such as the PRAXIS, Graduate Record Examination (GRE) subject tests,
Law School Admissions Tests (LSAT), Medical College Admission Test (MCAT),
Miller Analogies Test (MAT) and College Level Examination Program (CLEP). Call
to inquire about other examinations not listed here. Some of the tests have fees and
require registration. Fees and test dates vary and can be obtained by calling the
Center. Testing information can be picked up from the Center.

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

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

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

Augusta State University Catalog 59

students who need specialized services to plan their future accommodations at
least a semester in advance.

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

Veterans' Affairs (737-1606)

Augusta State University maintains a full-time Office of Veterans' Affairs (OVA) to
assist veterans in maximizing their educational experience. The OVA coordinates
and/or monitors ASU and VA programs, policies, and procedures as they pertain to

As students at Augusta State University, veterans and certain other persons may
qualify under Chapters 30, 31, 32, 35, Title 38, and Chapter 1606 Title 10, UNITED
STATES CODE, for financial assistance from Veterans Affairs. Eligibility for such
benefits must be established in accordance with policies and procedures of the VA.
Interested persons are advised to investigate their eligibility early in their planning
for college. Pertinent information and assistance may be obtained from the Augusta
State University Office of Veterans' Affairs. New or returning students should
make adequate financial provisions for one full semester from other sources, since
payments from the VA are sometimes delayed.

The Office of Veterans' Affairs furnishes the Veterans Affairs certifications of
enrollment. Eligible persons should establish and maintain contact with the OVA to
ensure their understanding of and compliance with both VA and university policy,
procedure, and requirements, thereby ensuring timely and accurate receipt of
benefits and progress toward an educational objective.

Each person receiving VA education benefit payments is responsible for ensuring
that all information affecting his or her receipt of benefits is kept current, and each
must confer personally with the staff in the OVA at least once each semester to keep
his or her status active and current to receive funds.

Student Rights and Responsibilities

Academic Honesty

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

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

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

a. Copying from another student's paper.

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

c. Collaboration with another student during an examination.

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

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

f. Bribery of any person to obtain examination information.

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

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

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

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

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.

Augusta State University Catalog 1

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:

3. 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.

4. 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 him/her to reconsider.
After reconsidering the matter, the faculty member may stand by the original deci-
sion and forward the WF withdrawal form to the Dean.

5. 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, 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 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.

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.

"^ Augusta State University Catalog

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 in the Student Handbook. 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 64)

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.

A student may file an appeal whenever he or she can reasonably claim that an
administrator's decision affecting his or her program of study was not justified
by the procedures and/or guidelines established to govern that decision. It is not
necessary that the student allege discrimination or other wrongdoing on the part of
the administrator.

The student should submit the appeal in writing to the immediate supervisor of the
administrator whose decision he or she questions. It is the student's responsibility
to gather the evidence necessary to support his or her case and to include that
evidence when submitting the written appeal. In preparing the appeal, the student
should keep in mind that the primary issue is whether the administrative decision was
justified by the procedures and/or guidelines established to govern that decision.

The supervisor to whom the appeal is made may choose to appoint and be advised
by a consultative board composed of students and/or faculty and/or administrators
of the supervisor's own choosing, and may also choose to charge such a board
with hearing oral arguments and/or with making inquiries into specified matters of
fact. However, if a student has alleged discrimination on the basis of race, sex, age,
handicap, religion, or national origin, a consultative board must be appointed and
must include at least one student and at least one faculty member who is not an
administrator. In no case will the supervisor be bound by the advice of the board.

Augusta State University Catalog "3

Student Academic Grievances
(also see Student Academic Appeals, page 63)

The following grievance procedure primarily applies to a student's alleged violations
of his or her rights by his or her instructor. However, if a student's problem is
related to admission, transfer of credit, probation, suspension, or dismissal, he or
she may wish to enter an academic appeal, as described in the previous section of
this manual. If the student's problem is with an administrator's decision regarding a
matter between the student and the instructor, the student should use the academic
appeals process unless he or she can reasonably claim that the administrator's
decision constitutes a violation of his or her rights. In the latter case, the student
may choose to use the academic grievance procedure, adapting it to his or her
case so as to begin with the administrator and his or her supervisor rather than the
instructor and his or 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 the student's problem is
related to a non-academic issue, the student should refer to the Student Conduct
Code.

If the student wishes to initiate a grievance, he or she must follow the student
academic grievance procedure as outlined below, keeping in mind the following
principles:

1 . The student must start with a sincere attempt to settle the dispute in an informal
manner with the instructor. Administrators can initially hear the student's concerns
and refer him or her 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 a student to prepare his or her case, keep in mind that when he or she
presents the facts, the burden of proof is on him or her, 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 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.

" 4 Augusta State University Catalog

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 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 days
of receiving that decision.

C. The department chair shall respond to the written grievance within five 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 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. Mediation 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 five days.

III. Stage Three: The Formal Hearing. If agreement is not reached within five days
of the submission of the written grievance to the dean, the dean or either party
may ask the Academic Policies Committee to arrange a hearing before a formal
board of review.

Augusta State University Catalog "5

66

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 days of receiving the request to arrange a hearing, 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 grievance
process to this particular situation. It shall then appoint a board of
review, hereinafter referred to as the board, in the following manner:

1. The board shall consist of five to seven members, including
faculty members, at least one student, and the Dean of
Students or his/her designate. One of the faculty members
shall be designated by the Academic Policies Committee to
serve as the chair of the board.

2. The Academic Policies Committee shall consult with the
parties to assure that its selection of a chair is acceptable to
both parties. Each party shall also be permitted to strike from
one to three other proposed members from the board. When
a party strikes a proposed member, the committee will name
another in his/her place; such substitutions may also be struck
by either party if that party has not already exhausted his/her
three strikes.

3. No party to the dispute shall be a member of the board.

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

C. Within five 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 10 days of the preliminary session.

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

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

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

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

3. Engage the assistance of the Associate Vice President for
Academic Affairs 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 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

Augusta State University Catalog

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 testimony and have the opportunity to confront
all such persons by cross-examination or by affidavit.

e) Endeavor to rebut all evidence.

f) Interpret and summarize their individual positions,
particularly in relation to wider issues of academic
rights and responsibilities.

g) Be informed of the findings and recommendations of
the board. The chair shall be deemed to have satisfied
this requirement if he/she calls the attention of the
parties to section lll(D)4 of this document.

E. The hearing shall be held in closed session. The chair shall distribute
copies of the agenda to the parties, the board members, and any
witnesses who may have been called. The chair shall supervise the
proceedings and shall rule on any unusual or special elements with
respect to procedures of the board after giving due notice to disputing
parties or their representatives of their procedural rights.

F. The parties involved must present their own cases even though counsel
may be present during the formal hearing. Normally, the presentations
shall include a lucid statement of the case, a presentation of the case
by affidavits, testimony and/or exhibits, and a summary which includes
a statement of the specific relief sought from the board.

G. The board shall try to complete the agenda for the hearing in one
session. If this is not possible, the term "hearing" as used throughout
this document shall apply collectively to all sessions taken together. The
board shall in any case see to it that all sessions of the hearing have
been concluded within five days of the first session of the hearing.

IV. Stage Four: Deliberations of the Board and its Report

A. Within five 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 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 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

Augusta State University Catalog "^

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 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 days of having been notified by
the dean of his/her decision, that decision shall be 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
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 days of
receiving notification from the dean. The appeal shall include, but is not
limited to, the following:

a. Copies of the written grievance, ofthefindings 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 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 days of having been notified
by the vice president of his/her decision, that decision shall be considered

"" Augusta State University Catalog

final and the 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 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 days
of receiving that decision. If no party so advises the president within
those five days, the decision shall be considered final and the president
shall communicate this to the appropriate dean, who shall see to its
implementation.

E. Final Disposition

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

Any person in the University System for whom no other appeal is provided
in the Bylaws and who is aggrieved by a final decision of the president of
an institution, may apply to the Board of Regents, without 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 60 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, reli-
gion, age, or handicap.

General Education Statement

From the origins of intellectual study to the present, general education has been
a key to a fulfilling life of self-knowledge, self-reflection, critical awareness, and
lifelong learning. General education has traditionally focused on oral and written
communication, quantitative reasoning and mathematics, studies in culture and
society, scientific reasoning, and aesthetic appreciation. Today, general education
also assists student in their understanding of technology, information literacy, diversity,
and global awareness. In meeting all of these needs, general education provides
college students with their best opportunity to experience the breadth of human
knowledge and the ways that knowledge in various disciplines is interrelated.

In the University System of Georgia, general education programs consist of a
group of courses known as the Core Curriculum as well as other courses and
co-curricular experiences specific to each institution. The attainment of general
education learning outcomes prepares responsible, reflective citizens who adapt
constructively to change. General education programs impart knowledge, values,
skills, and behaviors related to critical thinking and logical problem-solving. General
education includes opportunities for interdisciplinary learning and experiences that
increase intellectual curiosity, providing the basis for advanced study in the variety
of fields offered by today's colleges and universities.

AUGUSTA STATE UNIVERSITY HONORS PROGRAM

The ASU Honors Program offers superior students the opportunity to pursue a
program of study that leads to recognition as an Augusta State University Honors
Program Graduate. Balancing breadth and depth, the ASU Honors Program includes
sections of core courses specifically designed for able and energetic learners,
seminars that cross the boundaries of discipline and/or culture, a thesis, and the
possibility of additional honors work in the major field. The Honors Program is not
a separate degree program, but is designed to augment the course work required
for a degree. In most cases, honors courses can be substituted for required credits.
The Honors Program offices are housed in Allgood Hall E122 (729-2083).

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:

' 4 Augusta State University Catalog

a second section of HONR 3900,

a departmental honors course (departmental^ 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 a completed
application to the Honors Program Director. Application forms are available in the
Honors Program office or atwww.aug.edu/honors_program/Applications.htm.

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

(1) Combined SAT scores of 1160 or more and a cumulative high school GPAof
3.2 or better.

(2) Combined SAT scores of 1100 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.

FINE ARTS PROGRAM - MUSIC

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

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

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

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

Bachelor of Music

Two areas of professional study are available in the Bachelor of Music degree:
Performance prepares students for careers as instrumentalists in symphonic, jazz
and popular styles; as singers in opera, theatre, and popular music; and as solo
recitalists, accompanists, private and college teachers, and church musicians.
Music Education prepares musicians for careers as music teachers at all levels in
public and private schools.

Bachelor of Arts in Music

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

Augusta State University Catalog 99

Minor in Music

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

GENERAL DEGREE REQUIREMENTS FOR ALL MUSIC MAJORS

1. Minimum Hours Requirement/Grade Requirements

All Bachelor of Arts degrees in Music require a minimum of 120 hours. All
Bachelor of Music in Performance degrees require a minimum of 124 hours. The
Bachelor of Music in Music Education degree requires a minimum of 128 hours.

All students declaring a music major are expected to show proficiency in
functional keyboard and computer applications, as outlined in the Augusta
State Music Student Handbook. [Note: students declaring a music minor will
be required to take the Computer Applications in Music Proficiency Exam.]
Exams which address these proficiencies are administered several times each
semester. Courses are available to help prepare the students for these exams.
These courses have been assigned credit hours to reflect the amount of time the
students will need to put into them, but are graded S or U. For further information,
consult the Augusta State University Music Student Handbook.

3. Applied Lessons

Lessons in applied music (principal performing medium) must be taken each
semester of residence according to the major field specifications. Composition
lessons are not a substitute for lessons in a principal performing medium. Applied
Lessons in Jazz Winds, Jazz Piano, Jazz Percussion, Jazz Strings, Drum Set,
and Composition are available only at the secondary level.

4. Major Ensembles

' All music students are required to participate for credit in a minimum of one
major ensemble each semester of residence whether of full-time or part-time
status. Exceptions may be granted through petition to and approval of the
full-time music faculty. All students will be assigned to a major ensemble upon
entrance, but are encouraged to participate in other major ensembles. Major
ensembles are defined as follows: 1 ) ASU Wind Ensemble (all woodwinds, brass
and percussion); 2) ASU Orchestra (all string instruments); and 3) ASU Choir (all
voice types). Students who choose piano or guitar as their principal performing
medium will be assigned to one of the three depending upon their experiences
in secondary performing areas.

5. Recital Laboratory and Studio Class

Music majors and minors are required to be enrolled in and achieve a passing
grade in Recital Laboratory (MUSI 1500) and Studio Class (MUSA 2X05)

advisor's signature on all registration forms and Add/Drop forms.

7. Exit Exams

All music majors are required to take the Music Major Exit Exam, which is given
during the final semester of study.

GENERAL EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS

Students declaring a music major must complete the requirements of the

university-wide program which includes Core Areas A-E.

CORE CURRICULUM IN MUSIC (AREA F)

All music majors take a basic core of music courses, studies and activities. This
core curriculum educates the musician in the art form. It strives to improve music
literacy, develop artistic sensitivity and provide a broad artistic experience for all
music students. Further, it is designed to raise the quality of music-making in each
student regardless of individual professional goals. The Core Area F in music is
required of all music majors in the university.

PLACEMENT EXAMINATIONS UPON ENTRANCE

All entering freshmen music majors must perform a placement audition before a
faculty panel in their major performing medium. These auditions will be scheduled
during the week prior to the beginning of classes. Students are expected to
demonstrate background and experience through high school programs or prior
collegiate work in band/wind ensemble, orchestra, choir, and/or private study,
church music, musical theater, etc. Students without this background must show
extraordinary potential to be admitted as a music major. Students who are unable
to demonstrate these abilities will not be admitted into the music major and will be
advised to seek another major.

Entering freshmen and those who have previous college credit, but are new to the
music major, must also take an evaluative exam in music fundamentals. Students
will be placed into appropriate course work based on the results of this exam. This
test can be pre-empted by earning a grade of C or better in MUSI 1201. See the
Fine Arts Department website for further information on these topics.

MILITARY SCIENCE PROGRAM

MILITARY SCIENCE Military Science Curriculum

This curriculum ultimately qualifies the college graduate for a commission as an
officer in the U.S. Army, Army Reserve, or Army National Guard.

Basic Courses, Freshman Year (MS I)

MILS 1011 Foundations of Officership 3

MILS 1021 Basic Leadership 3
Basic Courses, Sophomore Year (MS II)

MILS 2011 Individual Leadership Studies 3

MILS 2021 Leadership and Teamwork 3

Leader's Training Course: The Leader's Training Course is a 28-day "World-
Class" leadership development experience qualifying and motivating college
students to enter into the senior Army ROTC program. A student who did not
participate in the basic program who has no more than two years remaining before
graduation may qualify for the advanced program through the summer course given
at Fort Knox, KY each year. ASU graduate students are eligible for this program
as well; those attending receive approximately $800 with all meals, lodging, and
transportation while attending the summer internship. This program enables the
student to determine if he or she desires a career in the military and qualifies the
student for the advanced course if he or she chooses. No obligation is incurred by
attending Leader's Training Course, (MILS 3060, Leader's Training Course Summer
Internship.) Successful completion of this course can qualify the student for a two
year scholarship for the remaining two years.

Compression: While the normal sequence of course work requires two full
academic years, it is possible to compress the course work into less than two years
by taking two Military Science courses during the same semester. Compression is
not recommended or desired but will be considered on an individual basis by the
Department Chair.

Exemption : Credit for all or part of the basic course may be granted upon presentation
of evidence that the student has had equivalent training. Examples of such training
are active military service, Senior Division Navy or Air Force ROTC credit, or 3
years Junior ROTC credit. In every case, exemption credit must be approved by
the Department Chair. No academic credit is given for courses exempted under
this program.

Eligibility Requirements for Advanced Course. GPAof2.00 or higher; completion
or credit for completion of the basic course; meeting Army physical requirements;
have no more than two years remaining until graduation; permission of the

completed MILS 3011 and MILS 3021 . Students will also receive half the base pay
of a Sergeant for 5 weeks (approximately $800). Travel, lodging and meal costs
are defrayed by the U.S. Army. The Leader Development & Assessment Course
environment is highly structured and demanding stressing, leadership at small unit
levels under varying, challenging conditions. Prior to attending this course students
must demonstrate and be able to pass a swim test. This swim test consists of a 1
minute swim using any combination of strokes and 5 minutes treading water.

MILITARY SCIENCE Professional Military Education Requirements

The principal element of the Professional Military Education (PME) requirement
is the bachelor's degree. As an integral part of that undergraduate education,
prospective officers are required to take at least one course in each of the fields of
study listed below and should consult the department chair of Military Science for
approved courses in each field.

Computer Literacy

Military History

Written Communication Skills

Cadets will also be required to complete and pass the Enhanced Skills Training
Program (ESTP) prior to completing their junior MS year. The ESTP program is
designed to test cadets' basic reading, writing and math skills. This program will
be delivered over the Internet. Full exemption is allowed if the cadet earned within
the last five years and in a single sitting, a composite score of 21 or higher on the
Academic Competency Test (ACT), with English and Math scores of at least 21
each. However, if the composite score of 21 is met or exceeded, but one score,
English or Math is 20 or lower, then the cadet is required to complete the ESTP
assessment for the deficient area. Full exemption is allowed if the cadet earned
within the last five years and in a single sitting, a composite score of 1100 or higher
on the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT), with Verbal and Math scores of at least 550
each. However, if the composite score of 1100 is met or exceeded, but one score,
Verbal or Math is 549 or lower, then the cadet is required to complete the ESTP
assessments for that deficient area. If the low score is in the Verbal category, the
cadet is required to enroll in ESTP English and Reading. If the low score is in Math,
the cadet is required to enroll in ESTP Math and Reading. Full exemption is allowed
if the cadet possesses a Bachelor's degree from an accredited institution of higher
education.

MILITARY SCIENCE Minor in Military Science

The Military Science minor is primarily designed for the student planning a career
in the U.S. Army as a commissioned officer. Military Science teaches skills that are

Augusta State University Catalog ' 43

vital for professional success on and off the battlefield, such as group leadership,
management positions and public speaking. Leadership is the process of
influencing an individual or a team of people by providing them purpose, direction,
and motivation to accomplish assigned missions and to improve the team for the
future. Courses should be arranged in consultation with your major department and
the Professor of Military Science.

MILITARY SCIENCE Program Features

Admission and Incentives: A student enrolled in basic course classes incurs no
obligation to the U .S. Army. Advanced course students are obligated to serve on
subsistence allowance of $350 per month for up to 20 academic months while in
college. Other training opportunities such as Air Assault, Airborne School, Arctic
Warfare School, and Cadet Troop Leadership Training (CTLT) in active units are
available on a competitive basis with military subsistence and some paid benefits. A
student in any major/minor field of study is eligible. During the senior year of study
(MS IV), the student is offered the option to select the type of job that he or she
desires to perform, the first permanent duty post, and the type of commission, either
Regular Army or Army Reserve, that he or she prefers. The Army at no charge
provides all necessary uniforms to the individual. Academic credit, applicable
toward graduation, is granted for all military science course work. Any advanced
course credits earned apply within the general studies minor.

The Scholarship Program: The Army Military Science Scholarship Program
awards full-time four, three, and two-year scholarships to eligible students on a
competitive basis. The Department of Military Science accepts applications for two
and three-year scholarships throughout the year. A student does not have to be
currently enrolled in Military Science to apply for two and three-year scholarships.
In addition to the National Scholarships, the Department Chair awards multiple four,
three, and two-year scholarships annually to students. Each scholarship pays full
tuition, books, lab fees, and other educational expenses. In addition, all Military
Science scholarship students receive $350 and $400 per month for up to 10 months
of each school year the scholarship is in effect. Upon Commissioning as a Second
Lieutenant, most agreements call for graduates to serve three or four years of active
duty, or six years in the National Guard or Army Reserves.

The Simultaneous Membership Program: The Simultaneous Membership
Program (SMP) allows cadets to be enrolled in the Military Science Advanced Course
and a local Army National Guard or Reserve unit at the same time. The benefits
of this program are that cadets not only receive $250 per academic month from

Augusta State University Catalog

the Military Science Department but also receive drill pay from their Army National
Guard or Army Reserve equivalent to an E-5 pay ($200 per month). Cadets in
this program perform the duties of an officer trainee in their Army National Guard
or Army Reserve unit. Some National Guard programs offer tuition assistance as
well. This program provides valuable management experiences which will interest
future employers and prepare cadets for leadership and management positions
after graduation.

to a specific number based on clinical spaces and resources available. Applicants
for admission to the nursing program will be expected to meet the following
requirements:

D Must be accepted for admission to Augusta State University.

D Must meet with nursing advisor.

D Must have completed prerequisite courses for Nursing 1101 at the end of
the spring semester of the academic year of application.

D Must have an adjusted Nursing Grade Point Average (NGPA)of at least 2.5
at the end of spring semester of the academic yearof application. The NGPA
is computed from grades of core courses required for the nursing program,
using the most recently earned grade in the case of a repeated course. To
be considered for admission, an applicant may not have repeated any core
course required for the ASU nursing program more than once.

D Students with ASU records must have an institutional GPA of 2.0 and
an NGPA of 2.5 at the end of spring semester of the academic year of
application.

NGPA requirements of 2.5 and the transfer GPA must be at least a 2.0.

D A student must submit an application by February 1 for admission to the
Department of Nursing for the fall semester of the next academic year.

The initial screening of applicants will be based on a ranked score of the adjusted
NGPA and a weighted score based on the semester core courses completed by the
end of fall semester of the academic year of application and the grades from those
courses. Points will be given for any nursing core course(s) the student is enrolled
in during spring semester. Proof of enrollment must be submitted by the student.
Grades from those courses will be reviewed to determine if grade requirements
have been maintained. Students are admitted into the nursing program upon the
recommendation of the nursing faculty and with the approval of the department
chair.

Students Admitted into the Nursing Program

Admitted nursing students who have yet to complete any of the following core
courses prior to admission must take the remaining courses as co-requisites along

of the minimum-grade requirements explained above may apply to the Department
of Nursing for readmission to the program the following academic year. The
Department of Nursing will consider each request on a case-by-case basis.

However, nursing students are permitted no more than two attempts to successfully
complete the nursing curriculum (program); attempts include nursing coursework
transferred into the University from other nursing programs. Thus a student who
transfers in a grade lower than C in a nursing course and then makes a grade below
C in a nursing course at ASU will be dismissed from the program and will not be
considered for readmission.

In order to complete the nursing program, majors are required to pass the Regents
Testing Program and to maintain a minimum adjusted GPA of 2.00 or higher
(Institutional GPA).

Nursing students will have additional requirements related to health insurance, liability
insurance, CPR certification, physical examination, immunizations and TB skin
test. Some clinical agencies require students to undergo substance screening and
criminal background checks. Information regarding these additional requirements
will be provided to students after acceptance. Students will be assessed additional
fees for liability insurance and required tests.

Transfers from Other Nursing Programs

Students who wish to transfer from other nursing programs must apply to ASU and
meet regularASU admission requirements along with nursing program requirements.
In addition, they will be required to submit two letters of reference from the previous
program: one from the Chair/Director of the program and the other from the faculty
member of the last clinical nursing course. For transfer students accepted into the
ASU program, placement into the nursing curriculum will be determined by review
of course descriptions and content outlines of nursing courses from the previous
institution.

Students who have a recorded grade of less than C in one nursing course attempted
in another nursing program will be required to meet all the regular institutional
admission requirements as well as nursing program requirements. In addition, these
students will be required to submit two letters of reference from the previous nursing
program: one from the Chair/Director of the program, and one other letter from the
clinical faculty member in the nursing course in which the student earned the grade
of less than C. If the student is accepted into the ASU nursing program, placement
into the nursing curriculum will be determined by review on course descriptions and
content outlines of nursing courses successfully completed (grade of C or better
earned) from the previous institution.

The decision to admit transfer students will be made on a case-by-case basis.

' 4 Augusta State University Catalog

Because achievement of a grade of C or better in each nursing course (including
nursing courses transferred into Augusta State University from other nursing
programs) is necessary for successful program completion and because a nursing
course may be repeated at most only once, students who have two or more recorded
grades lower than C in nursing courses from their previous nursing program(s) will
not be considered for admission into the ASU Nursing program.

Options for LPNs

Applicants who meet all of the admission criteria for Augusta State University and
the ASU Department of Nursing and who hold a current and valid Practical Nursing
License (LPN) in the State of Georgia may qualify for one of three options for entry
into the nursing program.

First Option : Applicants who meet all of the admission criteria for Augusta State
University and the ASU Department of Nursing and who hold a current and valid
Practical Nursing License (LPN) in the State of Georgia may apply for admission
into the first nursing course, Foundations of Nursing Practice (NURS 1101), and
progress through the nursing curriculum in the standard manner. This option may
be the choice of a new LPN with no experience or someone who has a very narrow
scope of practice. The same requirements for admission noted previously must be
fulfilled and a minimum of the prerequisites for NURS 1101 must be completed.

Second Option : Applicants who meet all of the admission criteria for Augusta State
University and the progression criteria for the ASU Department of Nursing and who
hold a current and valid Practical Nursing License (LPN) in the State of Georgia
may apply for admission into Nursing 1102. If the student successfully completes
Nursing 1102, the student is granted credit for Nursing 1101. Students must have
completed the prerequisite core courses for NURS 1102. This option may appeal
to students who still must complete a number of core courses and/or who want a
slower pace than the third (fast-track) option.

Third Option : Applicants who meet all of the admission criteria for Augusta State
University and the admission and progression criteria for the ASU Department of
Nursing and who hold a current and valid Practical Nursing License (LPN) in the State
of Georgia may apply for admission into the fast track option. The fast track option
is a joint project involving Augusta State University, the state of Georgia, St. Joseph
Hospital, Doctor's Hospital, and University Hospital. This option is made possible
through a grant secured from the Intellectual Capital Partnership Program (ICAPP).
The grant supports ASU efforts to increase its response to the severe shortage of
registered nurses in the community and the state of Georgia. Under this option,
qualified LPNs are given the opportunity to complete the ASU Nursing Program in
one calendar year. To be considered for the fast track option, the qualified LPN must
(a) be accepted into ASU, (b) have completed all prerequisite core requirements for
NURS 2201 , (c) meet the admission criteria for the ASU Department of Nursing and
(d) meet with a nursing advisor. Those qualified LPNs who gain acceptance into
the nursing program are given permission by the Department of Nursing to enroll
in Nursing 1103 (LPN Transition Course). Students who successfully complete
Nursing 1103 are exempted from the first year nursing courses (NURS 1101 and
NURS 1102). The students will advance to the second year curriculum, providing
they continue to meet all other progression criteria. Unsatisfactory completion of
NURS 11 03 will prevent the student from progressing to the second year of nursing
courses. The student may apply for consideration for entry through the First or
Second Options noted above.

Who is Eligible to Apply for Admission to the LPN to ADN Articulation Plan?

Applicants who meet the above admission and progression criteria and who are:

1 . LPNs within three years of graduation from their LPN program with a current
unrestricted Practical Nurse license in the state of Georgia are eligible.

2. LPNs beyond three years of graduation from their LPN program with a
current unrestricted Practical Nurse license in the state of Georgia are eligible.
They must have a minimum of 1000 hours of clinical practice (work experience)

College of Education

Since its founding in 1783 with the stated purpose of extending educational opportunity
throughout the state to its designation as a' state university in 1996, the preparation
of quality professional educators has been a part of the mission of Augusta State
University. As the role of the professional educator has changed, so have the
educational programs offered by the College of Education. The courses and related
practicum and field experiences utilized in the current teacher preparation programs
focus on standards from state, regional, and national accrediting agencies, best
practice, and relevant research. Utilizing these as a base, preparation programs
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 and
be recommended for certification, all students must demonstrate with "real children"
the competencies for success as a beginning teacher in their chosen field of study.

Mission of the College of Education

The College of Education is committed to excellence in the preparation of
teachers, counselors, and administrators for service 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 scholarly
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
determine those things that work, do not work, and/or need to be revised in order to
maximize the learning opportunities for children.

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

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 work 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 performance-
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:

Augusta State University Catalog 1^1

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

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

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

4. Understand and use a variety of instructional 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 learning, and self-motivation.

6. Use knowledge of effective verbal, 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 learners, 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 agencies in the
larger community to support the learning and well-being of all students.

Attention Education Majors

In the fall of 1998, the Board of Regents approved a set of Principles and Actions
for the Preparation of Educators for the Schools. These principles will result in
substantial changes in the admissions, curriculum, field experiences, and exit
requirements for all students in the teacher preparation process. All students
entering ASU in the fall semester, 1998, will fall under part or all of these new
requirements. Students should check with their advisors for specific changes in the
teacher preparation process.

Degree Programs

Undergraduate and graduate degree programs are offered through the departments
of: Teacher Education; Educational Leadership, Counseling, and Special Education;
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.

The College of Education offers the Bachelor of Science in Education degree in:
Early Childhood Education
Middle Grades Education
Health and Physical Education
Special Education

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,
and program criteria. The following minimum admission criteria apply to all
students seeking admission to Teacher Education. In some fields of study, additional
requirements 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 curriculum in areas A-F, as required for
teacher preparation. Transfer students must have an overall GPA of 2.5, which
includes any undergraduate transfer work and the Regents' GPA for ASU
undergraduate work.

2. A grade of Cor better in ENGL 11 01 and ENGL 1102.

3. A grade of Cor better in MATH 1111 or MATH 1101.

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

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

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

Augusta State University Catalog * ' *

7. Successful performance on the Praxis I at the following scores: Mathematics
176; Reading 176; and Writing 174 or a composite score of 526.

Students may exempt PRAXIS I with:
SAT - minimum of 480 Verbal and 520 Mathematics or
ACT - minimum of 21 English and 22 Mathematics or
GRE - minimum of 490 Verbal and 520 Quantitative

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

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

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

Advisement

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

Advisement Prior to Admission to Teacher Education

Students who have not been admitted to Teacher Education are advised by a faculty
member in their specialized area. The Coordinator of Undergraduate Advisement is
located in University Hall. This individual is available to assist students with a wide
range of scheduling and planning issues.

Clinical and Professional Field Experiences

The teacher preparation programs at Augusta State University place a strong
emphasis on "hands-on" experiences with professional educators in actual classroom
settings. Students should expect a field experience as a part of most courses in the
preparation process. In some cases, entire courses will be taught in a public school
setting. Clinical and field experiences are monitored for each student to insure that
they have had the opportunity to work with diverse populations in a wide variety of
educational levels 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 background
review of all students at two specific points in the preparation program. The first
check will be made as part of enrollment in EDUC 2101 - Historical and Philosophical
Foundations of Education (for secondary and P-12 education majors as part
of the admission to Teacher Education process). Only students who present a
record free of criminal and/or disciplinary activity will be allowed to enter a public
school classroom. The second check will be made as a prerequisite to entering
the apprenticeship experience. Students who are admitted to the apprenticeship
experience must have a record free of criminal and/or disciplinary activity.

Apprenticeship Experience

The apprenticeship experience is the culminating activity in all of the teacher
preparation programs. Successful completion of this experience is required of all
undergraduate students seeking a degree and certification in a teacher preparation

1 '4 Augusta State University Catalog

field of study. In this experience, a student spends an entire semester working with
a master teacher in a school classroom. At the end of this semester's experience,
students are expected to demonstrate all of the prerequisite skills required of an
entry level teacher. Criteria for admission -to the Apprenticeship Semester are:

1 . 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 work.

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

4. Successful completion of the Comprehensive Portfolio.

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

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

7. The written recommendation of the student's academic advisor.

Due to the intensive nature of the experience, students may not enroll in any
additional course work during the Apprenticeship Semester.

Recommendation for Certification

Professional teacher certification is granted by the Professional Standards
Commission upon the recommendation of the College of Education. In order to be
eligible for a recommendation for certification in the field of study, a student must:

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

2. Successfully complete the Apprenticeship Experience.

3. Earn a passing score on the PRAXIS II examination in the appropriate
certification field.

4. Complete the application process for certification.

Alternative Certification Programs

Individuals who hold an undergraduate or graduate degree from a regionally
accredited institution and wish to become certified in one of the teacher preparation
fields offered in the College of Education should contact the Director of Clinical
and Field Experiences for an evaluation of their academic work. Following this
evaluation, the individual will be notified of the courses and experiences required
in order to become eligible for a recommendation of certification. These courses
and experience will vary widely based on the individual's previous academic work.
Graduate professional education courses in the early childhood, middle grades, and
secondary programs may not be utilized for initial certification. To be recommended
for certification, the student must:

1. Earn a grade of C or better on all courses required to meet certification
requirements.

2. Earn a passing score on the PRAXIS I examination at the following
scores: Mathematics 176; Reading 176; and Writing 174 or a composite
score of 526. Students may exempt PRAXIS I with: SAT - minimum of
480 Verbal and 520 Mathematics or ACT - minimum of 21 English and 22
Mathematics or GRE - minimum of 490 Verbal and 520 Quantitative.

3. Earn cumulative grade point average of at least 2.75 on all previous

6. Earn a passing score on the PRAXIS II examination in the appropriate
certification field.

7. Complete the application process for certification.

As part of the content evaluation process, students in English from a regionally
accredited college or university must take the Praxis II exam in English. If they do
not pass Praxis II, they will submit their sub-test score report forms, in addition to
transcripts from all accredited colleges and universities attended, to the English
evaluator, who will determine the English courses needed to complete content
requirements. Students who pass Praxis II are subject to the same transcript
evaluation and may be required to take further English courses. The Director of
Clinical and Field Experiences in the School of Education will be notified of these
additional required courses. Passing of Praxis II is not required for the student's
admission to teacher education.

As part of the content evaluation process, students in physics and/or mathematics
from a regionally accredited college or university must take the Praxis II exam in the
previously completed major area (s). If the student passes Praxis II for the major
area(s) at or above the Georgia cut score, he/she does not have to take further
content courses for the area(s). If they do not pass Praxis II for the major area(s),
they will submit their sub-test score report forms, to the Department of Chemistry and
Physics and/or the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science. Department
faculty will determine the courses needed to complete content requirements. A list
of these courses will be sent to the Director of Clinical and Field Experiences. If
the previously completed degree did not include a major in one of the two areas
of physics or mathematics, the student's transcript will be evaluated to determine
content requirements for that major area. Passing of Praxis II is not required for the
student's admission to teacher education.

As a part of the content evaluation process for the post-baccalaureate student
seeking secondary certification in combination with a degree in chemistry from a
regionally accredited college or university, the student must take the Praxis II exam
in chemistry. If the student passes Praxis II at or above the Georgia cut score,
he/she does not have to take further content courses. If the student does not pass
Praxis II, he/she must submit the Praxis II sub-test scores to the Department of
Chemistry and Physics. Departmental faculty will determine chemistry courses
needed to complete content requirements. A list of these courses will be sent to the
Director of Clinical and Field Experiences. The passing of Praxis II is not required
for the student's admission to teacher education.

As a part of the content evaluation process for biology students with a degree in
biology from a regionally accredited college or university must take the Praxis II
exam in biology. If they pass Praxis II at or above the Georgia cut score, they do
not have to take further content courses. If they do not pass Praxis II they submit
their sub-test score report forms to the Biology chair, who will determine the biology
courses needed to complete content requirements. These required courses will be
sent to the Director of Clinical and Field Experiences. Passing of Praxis II is not
required for the student's admission to teacher education.

Integrating Honors Students into Teacher Education

Early Childhood Education

The Honors student will determine, in conjunction with his or her education advisor,
where the 3900 courses will fit into the student's program of study. The ECED
Honors students will take one Honors 3900 course to substitute for ECED 4332
(Science II) or ECED 4342 (Social Studies II). The other upper division Honors
course will be a departmental course with an honors component and will be the
remaining course from above (ECED 4332 or ECED 4342).

Honors 3999, and 4000 (2 hours) will be substituted for the Apprenticeship seminar
in ECED 4491. The Honors capstone course will be substituted for 1 hour of the
student's apprenticeship. The Honors thesis will be done in conjunction with field
experiences.

Middle Grades Education

The Honors student will determine, in conjunction with his or her education advisor,
where the two Honors 3900 courses will be substituted. The 3900 courses will be
substituted in the student's content concentration.

Honors 3999, and 4000 (2 hours) will be substituted for the Apprenticeship seminar
in MGED 421 0. The Honors capstone course will be substituted for one hour of the
student's apprenticeship. The Honors thesis will be done in conjunction with field
experiences.

College of Business Administration

The College of Business Administration offers both Bachelor of Business
Administration degrees and the Master of Business Administration degree. Fully
accredited by AACSB, the College of Business Administration schedules courses to
allow students to earn their degrees by attending classes during either day or evening
hours. Most students earning business degrees are working in the local community,
and many of them are working full-time. The College of Business Administration
maintains high quality programs while meeting the educational needs of its current
and potential student body.

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

Our teaching helps students develop professional competence, enhance the quality
of their lives, and appreciate the need for continuous learning and renewal. Our
programs are managed to accommodate students who live and work in the greater
Augusta metropolitan area.

We engage in scholarship that strengthens classroom instruction and assists the
community and the business professions. We provide service to the university in
faculty governance, to the community through professional, civic, and charitable
activities, and to the business professions through involvement in professional
organizations and programs.

The College of Business Administration is advised and supported by an advisory
board chaired by Mr. Larry DeMeyers. This group of local business leaders meets
quarterly and serves as a bridge between the College and the community. Members
in 2004-2005 were:

Mr. Thomas M. Blanchard, Blanchard & Calhoun

Mr. Dan Bianton, President and CEO, Georgia Bank & Trust

Mr. Marshall Brown, UBS Paine Webber

Mr. David Burton, Business Advisor

Mr. Roy F. Chalker, Jr., Chalker Publishing Company

Instructor: Kirk, R.

Prerequisites and Course Sequencing

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

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

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

College of Arts and Sciences

POLITICAL SCIENCE Master of Public Administration Degree

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

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

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

2. Official scores on the Graduate Record Examination. The GRE scores must
be recent (applicant having taken the Graduate Record Examination within
the last five years).

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

4. A current resume.

5. Medical History Form (available from Admissions Office)

When the portfolio is completed, the applicant's record will be sent to the MPA
faculty Admissions Committee for review. The following formula will be applied:

GRE verbal score + (GRE analytical score x 100) + GRE quantitative score +
(GPAxlOO)

For regular admission, a student is expected to achieve a composite score of 1500
or higher. Probationary admission maybe granted for students scoring 1400 - 1499.
Probationary admission is not automatic. The Admissions Committee examines the
applicant's undergraduate transcripts, resume, and letters of recommendation in
making its determination.

' 9 Augusta State University Catalog

Conditions for Provisional Admission: Those applications who have at least a
3.0 undergraduate grade average and are awaiting their scores on the Graduate
Record Examination may enter into a contract with the MPA program which
states that they are provisionally accepted for one semester while the portfolio is
completed. Provisionally accepted students may take one course. If the student's
completed application is subsequently accepted after the GRE scores are known
and course is successfully completed, the course will count toward his or her degree
requirements.

Conditions for Probationary Admission: The MPA Admissions Committee has
the option of admitting a student on a probationary basis with a set of specified
conditions to be met before the student is considered to be regularly accepted.
These conditions are determined on a case-by-case basis. Conditions may include,
but are not limited to, provisions that the student achieve, at a minimum, a B on
each of the first three core courses taken in the MPA Program, or that the student
take an undergraduate course in quantitative methods as a pre-requisite in order
to remedy a deficiency in his or her performance on the quantitative subtest of the
Graduate Record Examination. In any case, the conditions must be met within the
first two semesters of course work within the MPA program in order for the student's
academic status to change from probationary to regular.

Admissions Appeals: Students who are not accepted for admission to the Master
of Public Administration program and who believe that there are extenuating
circumstances which affect their eligibility may request in writing an appeal of the
decision of the MPA Admissions Committee. This appeal is sent to the Director of
the MPA Program, who will forward it to the Appeals Committee. The committee
makes its decision and conveys it in writing to the MPA Program Director, who
contacts the applicant by letter to inform him or her of the decision.

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

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

Prerequisites : An applicant's academic transcript must list a course in American
Government. If it does not, the student must either complete the POLS 1 1 01 course
(American Government) offered by Augusta State University, complete a comparable
course at another institution, or take the CLEP test in American Government and
achieve a score of at least 46.

An incoming MPA student must demonstrate computer literacy to the extent that
he or she is capable of word-processing and using spreadsheet software as called
for in the budgeting and research methods courses. A statement attesting to one's
competency in basic computing skills is signed by the student at the beginning of
the research methods course. A skills assessment test may be administered by the
course instructor to those who are without formal training in word processing and
spreadsheet management.

Augusta State University Catalog ' ^9

Transfer Credit: No more than nine semester credit hours shall be transferred
from another institution for the purpose of earning credits for the Master of Public
Administration degree. The institution from which the credits are transferred must
be an accredited one, and each transfer course is subject to review in order to
determine its equivalency in the Augusta State University MPA Program.

Internship: An internship experience is required by the MPA program for those
students who lack a significant professional work background. For those who are
working in a public or non-profit agency at the time of their enrollment in the MPA
program, a separate internship program is not required. The student will utilize his
or her professional work experience as the basis for completing the thesis/capstone
paper. Students who need an internship will be matched with an appropriate
organization. This internship may be the basis for the student's capstone paper.

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

PSYCHOLOGY Master of Science Degree in Psychology

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

Unlike some other graduate programs at the university, the M.S. program in
psychology is designed as a full-time, day-time and year-round program. Most
students complete their degree requirements in two years or less, earning credits
in advanced foundation courses (e.g., learning, social, personality, statistics),

Augusta State University Catalog 201

applied course work (e.g., psychometry, counseling/therapy, psychopathology) and
supervised internship experience in treatment facilities or research laboratories.
The department operates a psychometric and clinical training facility, and an animal
and human research laboratory. Internship opportunities are available at many
local agencies including a Veterans Administration Medical Center, a regional state
psychiatric hospital, the Medical College of Georgia, a regional state school and
hospital for the developmentally disabled, a regional state training center for juvenile
offenders, and the Dwight David Eisenhower Army Medical Center at Fort Gordon.

The Department and its faculty members maintain active relationships with the
discipline's various governing and professional bodies, such as the American
Psychological Association (APA), American Psychological Society (APS), Council
of Graduate Departments of Psychology (COGDOP), Council of Applied Master's
Programs in Psychology (CAMPP), and North American Association of Master's in
Psychology (NAMP).

Admission Procedures and Requirements

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

Inquiries are encouraged especially from members of minority groups and older
persons, from human service personnel employed by local community agencies,
and from persons possessing otherwise adequate credentials but who may have
a deficit in a single credential such as quantitative GRE scores or freshman grade
point average, or who may lack specific undergraduate preparation in psychology. In
such cases, the department may use other appropriate information in the admission
decision, and may require satisfactory remediation of any academic deficits prior to
full acceptance.

The minimum admission requirements are:

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

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

3. A score of 400 on each of the verbal, quantitative and analytical portions
of the Graduate Record Examination taken within the past five years,
with at least two scores being 450, or higher. If the GRE was taken after
10/01/02, the analytical score must be 3.5 or higher, one of the remaining
scores must be 400 or better, and one score must reach 450 or better.

4. Satisfactory letters of recommendation and transcripts.

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

6. For students whose native language is other than English, the examination

202 Augusta State University Catalog

scores of the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). An oral
expression and comprehension evaluation may also be required.
7. For foreign students, a financial aid form provided by the Office of
Admissions. . -.

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

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

Applicants who have acceptable credentials but who are deficient in one area,
such as Verbal GRE Scores or grade point average, may be offered provisional
admission. Provisional graduate students must petition for regular graduate
status after satisfactory completion of at least six and not more than nine hours of
admissible graduate work.

Financial Aid and Graduate Assistants hips

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

Degree Requirements

The Master of Science in Psychology offers two tracks: the experimental track and the
clinical/counseling track. The experimental track requires the satisfactory completion
of a minimum of 45 semester hours of graduate work including Professional and
Ethical Foundations (PSYC 6190), Research Methods I and II (PSYC 6121 and
6122) and six semester hours of either Internship (PSYC 6940, 6970, and/or 6980)
or Thesis Research (PSYC 6990). Beyond this, an individualized plan of study, as
approved by the student's Academic Advisor, is used to establish specific course
requirements and to determine whether the student will be in the thesis or internship
track. For this track, at least 36 of the 45 total hours required must be earned in the
major field; and no more than six of the 45 total hours may be earned in PYSC 6940.
6970, 6980, and/or 6990.

The clinical/counseling track offers a thesis or a non-thesis (internship) option. The
plan of study, as approved by the student's Academic Advisor, is used to determine
whether the student will be in the thesis or internship track. The non-thesis option
requires the satisfactory completion of a minimum of 45 semester hours of graduate

Augusta State University Catalog 203

course as detailed below. Students who pursue the non-thesis option will need to
complete at least 4 hours of PSYC 6960 Clinical Internship (300 clock hours) in
order to fulfill the Georgia Licensed Professional Counselor requirement. All clinical/
counseling students are strongly encouraged to complete 6 hours of PSYC 6960
Clinical Internship and to carefully study the license requirements in the states
where they may be employed in the future. For this track, at least 36 of the 45 total
hours required must be earned in the major field; and no more than six of the 45
hours may be earned in PYSC 6940, 6960, 6970, 6980, and/or 6990.

The M.S. program is scheduled on a year-round basis and all students are expected
to attend the summer term as full-time students.

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

Admission to candidacy for the Master of Science degree may occur no earlier than
the completion of 1 5 semester hours of graduate work. To be admitted to candidacy,
the student must additionally be classified as a regular graduate student, earn
(and maintain) the endorsement of three graduate faculty sponsors, successfully
complete Professional and Ethical Foundations (PSYC 6190) (including the general
psychology component), successfully complete the Research Methods sequence
(PSYC 6121 and 6122), and achieve a GPA of at least 3.00 in all graduate course
work.

2 ^6 Augusta State University Catalog

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

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

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

Typical Plan of Study

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

College of Education

GRADUATE PROGRAMS

OVERVIEW

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

Graduate degrees in the College of Education are designed to build on previous
course work and clinical and field experiences. Utilizing experience gained through
the undergraduate preparation process and teaching experience, these degrees
have very specialized objectives and expectations. For example, the Master of
Education degree, utilizing previous educational preparation, prepares individuals
to become "master teachers," counselors, or administrators in the chosen field
of preparation. The programs are designed to extend and enrich the knowledge
base, understandings, and pedagogical repertoire of the student by providing the
opportunity for utilizing critical thinking and analytical abilities.

The Education Specialist degree provides the experiences necessary for teachers,
counselors, and education leaders to develop the knowledge, skills, and dispositions
necessary to transcend the status quo and become change agents from the platform
of the PreK-12 classroom.

MASTERS OF EDUCATION PROGRAMS

Counselor Education

The Counselor Education Master's Degree graduate program at Augusta State
University prepares students for professional careers as either school guidance
counselors or counselors in community mental health or private practice settings.
Early in the program students are assisted, as needed, in determining which specialty
area will most adequately match with their career goals. Most courses require
outside field experiences, coordinated by the faculty, to help students gain a sense
of both professions early in their professional training. Both the School Counseling
and Community Counseling concentration areas are aligned with standards of the
Council for the Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs
(CACREP), and the program will be applying for CACREP accreditation in 2005.
Although our student body is already quite diverse, we are committed to increasing
the numbers of minority students in our program to be more representative of the
surrounding community.

The Counselor Education program is designed to meet the needs of both traditional
and non-traditional students. The majority of courses are offered during evening hours
to accommodate those persons who may already be working as school teachers or
in other professional career areas. It is not required, however, that applicants have
a teaching certificate or work experience for acceptance into the program, (although
those with at least some work experience will be considered more highly). Both
the School Counseling and the Community Counseling concentration areas also
require intensive practicum and internship experiences near the end of the course
of study. For future school counselors, the practicum and internship placements
are completed in school settings at the elementary or secondary levels. For those
specializing in community counseling, internships are held at local hospitals, mental
health centers, and other community agencies.

All of the full-time Counselor Education faculty hold doctoral degrees and have
professional experience in their particular subject areas. Several hold professional
licensure (LPC) and certifications from the National Board of Certified Counselors.
They are also actively involved in the counseling profession, many holding
membership and/or offices in the American Counseling Association (ACA), the
Association for Counselor Education and Supervision (ACES), Georgia School
Counselor Association (GSCA), Licensed Professional Counselors of Georgia
(LPCG), and other state organizations. Faculty members frequently present at
regional and national conferences, quite often in collaboration with counseling
students, reporting on descriptive or experimental research which has been
conducted during the program courses.

Admissions Requirements

Persons interested in taking courses in Counselor Education must apply through the
Office of the Dean, College of Education, not through the Augusta State University
Office of Admissions. The formal deadline for submitting applications is set by the
College of Education; however, because the program faculty accept only a limited
number of applicants each semester, it is often those students who apply early that
are accepted. It is recommended that students should apply at least four months
prior to the semester they desire to start. Students may currently start the program at

Augusta State University Catalog 2 1 3

the beginning of any semester cycle. Only those baccalaureate students who have
submitted all their application materials, have been interviewed, and have been
officially accepted into the program may register for courses. Post-graduate students
interested in taking courses may do so only with permission of the faculty.

The minimum admission requirements are:

1. Completed requirements for a bachelor's degree in a regionally accredited

college/university

2. 2.5 or better undergraduate GPA

3. A score of at least 800 on the Graduate Record Exam (GRE), with a minimum of

400 on the Verbal portion OR a minimum score of 35 on the Miller's Analogy
Test (MAT). Tests must have been taken within the last 5 years.

4. A cleared or expunged background check for all applicants

5. Three satisfactory letters of recommendation

6. An autobiographical essay

7. Successful personal interview

Interested persons should contact the College of Education Dean's Office for an
application and more detailed list of Counselor Education admissions requirements.
Once all of the paper requirements are received by the Dean's office, applicants will
be contacted to set up an interview. Once the interview is completed, the Counselor
Education Admissions Committee will make an admission decision, subject to the
approval of the Dean. The Program Coordinator will then inform the applicant of this
decision.

Students are evaluated by the faculty with a rubric which considers all of the above
criteria. Students who gain admission are those who, based on the information given
and the course of the interview, display the highest capacity for rigorous academic
achievement and personal self-examination, capacity to develop positive and
meaningful interpersonal relationships with others, potential for personal growth,
and receptivity to supervision.

Officer for certification after completion of all requirements for the degree.
Upon successful completion of the program, students will meet all the requirements
for certification as a school guidance counselor in the state of Georgia.

attempted in the M.Ed, program. Students showing deficiencies in either academic
or interpersonal relationships may be placed on probation and/or remediation.
Any course in which a student earns a grade of D or F will need to be retaken.

Educational Leadership, Counseling, and Special Education website) for more
specific and updated information. Also, consult the College of Education Admission

SPECIAL EDUCATION Master of Education

in Special Education

The M.Ed, in Special Education, with concentrations in Emotional/Behavior
Disorders, Intellectual Disabilities, Interrelated Special Education, and Learning

224 Augusta State University Catalog

Disabilities, is offered to persons with Bachelor's degrees in all areas of education
as well as to persons with Bachelor's degrees in areas other than education.
Persons with degrees in education and current teacher certification in Georgia do
not need pre-requisite courses. Persons with degrees in education without current
Georgia teacher certification may need some prerequisite courses as determined
by a program advisor. Application for admission is made directly to the Office of
Graduate Admissions in the College of Education.

Persons with degrees in areas other than education must do the following prior to
admission to the graduate program:

Meet with an Advisor, as assigned by the program

Post a passing score on PRAXIS I

Complete four or five prerequisite courses with a grade of C or better

Pre-requisite courses (four) for concentrations in Intellectual Disabilities (ID),
Interrelated Special Education (IR), or Learning Disabilities (LD), are:

SPED 2000 Education of Students with Disabilities in the General
Education Classroom
EDTD 3011 Educational Technology
SPED 4007 Literacy Fundamentals
SPED 4008 Literacy - Diagnosis and Prescribing

Pre-requisite courses (five) for a concentration in Emotional/Behavior Disorders
(EBD) are:

SPED 2000 Education of Students with Disabilities in the General
Education Classroom
EDTD 3011 Educational Technology
SPED 4007 Literacy Fundamentals
SPED 4008 Literacy - Diagnosis and Prescribing
PSYC 3143 Abnormal Psychology

All special education courses, graduate and undergraduate, contain a 20 to 30-hour
lab component (in addition to classroom time) that provides the student with a public
school experience during the semester. The required lab time should be considered
when planning the course schedule. Depending upon the course requirements
and with permission of the instructor, students who are employed as teachers or
paraprofessionals in special education classrooms, may be able to complete some
of their lab hours in their school. Prior to the first field experience, students
who are not employed by a school district must satisfactorily pass a criminal
background check (conducted by ASU) and provide annual evidence of
liability insurance. Liability insurance is available for under $10/year by enrolling
in either the Student Professional Association of Georgia Educators (SPAGE) . or
the Student Georgia Association of Educators (SGAE) . All field placements must be
approved by the instructor prior to the student's first visit to the school.

Students must pass PRAXIS I prior to applying for Graduate Admission. It is
recommended that it be taken during the first semester of matriculation. The
Graduate Records Examination or Miller's Analogies Test , one of which is required
for admission to the graduate program, should be taken during the second semester
of matriculation. This prevents an unnecessary delay in applying to Graduate
Admissions while completing the final pre-requisite courses.

All special education courses are "by permission only." Students must be advised
by a member of the special education graduate faculty each semester and given
permission to register.

College of Business Administration

MASTER OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION PROGRAM

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

Students who enter the MBA program with a bachelor of business administration
degree and have undergraduate grades of C or better in foundation courses usually
will be able to complete the MBA program with 33 semester hours (11 courses)
of required course work plus three semester hours (one course) of elective.
Students who must take some or all of the foundation courses may require up to 54
semester hours of course work, including the foundation courses. Specific course
requirements for each student are determined by the student's previous academic
experiences and are approved by the Director of Graduate Studies.

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

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

Application Requirements

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

1 . Application for Graduate Study.

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

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

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

Admission Criteria for the MBA Program

Admission to the MBA program is based upon an applicant's successful completion
of at least a baccalaureate degree from a regionally-accredited college or university
and a combination of a satisfactory undergraduate grade point average (GPA)
and an acceptable score on the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT)
administered by the Educational Testing Service. These two scores are combined
into an eligibility index, defined as: (200 x GPA+ GMAT score). An eligibility index
is used widely by business schools in the United States.

Augusta State University Catalog ^33

The requirement for admission as a regular MBA student is an eligibility index of
1,000 (using the overall undergraduate GPA from all undergraduate programs) or
1 ,050 (using the undergraduate GPA from the last 60 semester hours or 90 quarter
hours of the most-recently-completed baccalaureate degree program). In either
case, the absolute minimum acceptable GMAT score is 450.

Graduate Admissions Appeals

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

Academic Standing

A GPA of at least 3.00 is required for graduation and to remain in good academic
standing in the MBA program. In addition, degree candidates may not have earned
more than six semester hours (two courses) in 6000-level MBA required and elective
courses with a grade of C. Grades below C will not be accepted for MBA course
work. If a course is repeated, only the most recent grade earned will be included
in the institutional GPA calculation used to determine an MBA student's academic
status and satisfaction of graduation requirements.

Academic Probation/Suspension

At the end of any academic term in which an MBA student's institutional GPA
falls below 3.00, the student will be placed on academic probation. A student on
academic probation 1) may not enroll for more than two MBA required or elective
courses per term and 2) must raise the institutional GPA to at least 3.00 within the
next nine semesters hours (three courses) of graduate course work to remain in
the MBA program. An MBA student on academic probation who does not raise the
institutional GPA to at least 3.00 within nine semester hours may not continue in
the MBA program or register for additional MBA courses for a period of at least one
calendar year. The student may not transfer credit for MBA courses from any other
institution while on academic probation at Augusta State University.

Reinstatement

A student who wishes to apply for reinstatement after having been dismissed
must write a letter to the MBA program director requesting reinstatement as an
MBA student. The letter should describe the student's rationale and approach for
improving academic performance if reinstated.

If accepted for reinstatement, the returning student may enroll for a maximum of
two MBA required or elective courses per term until the student's institutional GPA
has reached at least 3.00. If the reinstated student has not achieved an institutional
GPA of at least 3.00 within the first nine semester hours (three courses) of 6000-
level MBA course work following reinstatement, the student will not be eligible to
continue in the MBA program.

Upon being dismissed for the second time, a student would not be eligible to reapply
for readmission to the MBA program for a period of at least six calendar years. At
that time, the student would become a new applicant and would have to meet all
admission requirements in effect at the time. No credit for any previous MBA course

234 Augusta State University Catalog

work at ASU and no transfer credit from other programs would be granted and the
student would have to begin the MBA program as a "new" MBA student.

Time Limitation

All requirements for the MBA degree must be completed within six consecutive
years, beginning with the student's enrollment in the first 6000-level course.

GMAT

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

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