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 Catalog 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.

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.

[Failure to meet this requirement will prohibit registration for classes.] 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. SAT II SUBJECT TEST PROPOSED SCORE English Literature 530 American History & Social Studies 560 Math IC, or Math IIC 500, or 570 Biology 520 Chemistry 540 Physics 590 World History 540 ASU recognizes that most home-schooled students are amply prepared for college work.

College Preparatory Curriculum Requirements Applicants who are admitted to the university but fail to satisfy the College Preparatory Curriculum requirements for science, social science, or foreign language will be required to complete, with a grade of C or better, at least one college course in each area of deficiency within the first 30 semester hours earned. In the case of students who have completed no high school foreign language course, two college courses in the same foreign language will be required, with a grade of C or better in each. No credit earned in these courses will be applied to the requirements of the university degree. Other Freshman Categories Life Enrichment Student Admissions Requirements: A life enrichment applicant is one who files a completed application form, has graduated from high school or the equivalent, whose high school class graduated at least five years ago, and has earned no more than 30 transferable semester hours (45 quarter hours) of college credit.

After testing, the student shall complete any Learning Support requirements indicated. Students who fail to meet the Life Enrichment admissions criteria may be required to submit SAT or ACT scores. Augusta State University Catalog If life enrichment students can provide official SAT verbal > 500 and SAT math > 500 from a test administration within the past 7 years (or equivalent ACT scores), the COMPASS test can be waived. Joint Enrollment Admission Requirements for High School Students: A qualified high school student may enroll for college courses while completing his or her enrollment in high school as a junior or senior. This type of enrollment is primarily designed to provide the opportunity to take courses not available in the high school curriculum. To be eligible for admission consideration, the student must have completed the sophomore year of high school and have: (1) an overall 3.00 high school average in all academic courses completed (2) a combined SAT score of 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. 19 1 * Augusta State University Catalog 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. Augusta State University Catalog 15 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 17 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.

Of) ^ u Augusta State University Catalog 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. 99 " Augusta State University Catalog 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. " Augusta State University Catalog At that time, an affected student must petition for residency status according to established procedures. VETERANS' EDUCATION BENEFITS See the entry for Veterans' Affairs (page 60) or contact the office of Veterans' Affairs for further information (737-1606). Augusta State University Catalog 25 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. Augusta State University Catalog 27 ACADEMIC REGULATIONS and INFORMATION This section explains regulations that affect students after admission. Regulations regarding admission may be found in the Admissions Policies and Enrollment section of this catalog (page 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. on 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). Augusta State University Catalog Grade Changes Any grade changes must be accomplished in the semester immediately following the semester in which the grade was originally reported. Grading System, Undergraduate Grades used in calculating the undergraduate grade point average are as follows: Grade Meaninq Quality points/credit hour A Excellent 4.0 B Good 3.0 C Satisfactory 2.0 D Passing 1.0 F Failure 0.0 WF Withdrew, failing 0.0 The following symbols are used in the cases indicated, but are not included in the determination of the grade point average: /; Incomplete-Student doing satisfactory work, but unable to meet the full requirements of the course because of non-academic reasons. The maximum time for completing course work to remove an I is one semester; otherwise, the I will be automatically changed to F. W: Withdrawal, without penalty-The W will be assigned if the student officially withdraws from the course by semester midterm, unless the student has been charged with academic dishonesty. A grade of WF will be assigned after midterm unless the student withdraws because of non-academic hardship and has a passing average at the time of withdrawal. S; Satisfactory*-! ndicates satisfactory completion of degree requirements other than academic course work. U: Unsatisfactory*-lndicates unsatisfactory performance in an attempt to complete degree requirements other than academic course work. V: Audit-Indicates that the student was enrolled in the course as an auditor. Students may not transfer from audit to credit status or vice versa. K; Credit by examination. NR: Not Reported-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. 3" Augusta State University Catalog The amount of credit that the university will allow for work done in another institution within a given period of time may not exceed the normal amount of credit that could have been earned at the university during that time. A maximum of 62 hours of credit earned in a junior'college may be applied toward a degree. Regents' Testing Program Examination: A student must demonstrate proficiency in reading and writing skills by passing all parts of this examination. The examination is administered each semester and students are advised when they are eligible and must take this examination. Transfer students who are eligible will be notified of the earliest testing date following their initial enrollment. 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. Augusta State University Catalog 37 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. 44 Augusta State University Catalog WHERE TO GO for Information on Facilities, Services and Activities at ASU This section includes a wide variety of facilities, services, and activities, arranged alphabetically, which are available to members of the ASU community.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

Each has been approved by the faculty of Augusta State University, by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia, and by accrediting authorities. The Core Curriculum, (described below) is a required part of all Bachelors programs at Augusta State University and is presented first, followed by a description of the ASU Honors Program. Finally, descriptions of individual academic programs are listed alphabetically by college. Substitutions of courses are permitted only under certain circumstances; see the entries entitled Course Substitution and Curriculum Changes (page 32). Except as provided in these entries, you must take a program exactly as it is set forth in this catalog. 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.

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.

Total Hours for the Minor 1 8 QQ ^ u Augusta State University Catalog 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. Music majors must achieve a grade of C or better in each course required of the major, including those in the minor field. 2. The Piano Proficiency and Computer Applications Proficiency in Music 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.

For further information, consult the Augusta State University Music Student Handbook. 1 uu Augusta State University Catalog 6. Advising All music majors are required to have an advisor on the full-time music faculty. Self-advising for a degree in music is not allowed. The student must obtain their 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.

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.

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. Required Courses 15 (Cadets must maintain a 3.0 or higher each semester and cumulative GPA in Military Science classes) MILS 3011 Leadership and Problem Solving 3 MILS 3021 Leadership and Ethics 3 MILS 4011 Leadership and Management 3 MILS 4021 Officership 3 MILS 4060 Leader Development Assessment Course 3 Total Upper-Division Hours for the Military Science Minor 15 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. Augusta State University Catalog 145 NURSING PROGRAM NURSING Associate of Science in Nursing This program provides initial preparation for professional nursing practice and for beginning positions in hospitals, clinics, and nursing homes. It is approved by the Georgia Board of Nursing (Secretary of State, Professional Licensing Boards Division, 237 Coliseum Dr., Macon, GA 31217-3858, 478/207-1300, (www.sos. state. ga.us/plb/rn) and accredited by the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission (NLNAC Inc., 61 Broadway, New York, NY 10006, 212/363-5555 x153, www.nlnac.org). Upon successful completion of the program, graduates are awarded the Associate of Science in Nursing Degree and are eligible to take the National Council Licensure Exam for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN). Approval for admission to the licensing examination and subsequent Registered Nurse licensure of qualified applicants for the state of Georgia is granted by the Georgia Board of Nursing. Applicants to the nursing program should be aware that the state examining board has the right to refuse to grant registered nurse licenses to any individuals regardless of their educational credentials under circumstances of: 1. Falsification of application for licensure. 2. Conviction of a felony or crime of moral turpitude. 3. Other moral and legal violations specified in the Georgia law. Students who think they may have an applicable situation should talk with the department chair early in their program of study. Pre-Nursing Students Augusta State University pre-nursing students are those who have declared Nursing as their major and are working on required core courses before seeking admission to the nursing program. The students will be advised by faculty in the Department of Nursing. The students must complete, prior to full admission into the nursing program, the following prerequisite courses for NURS 1101 : ENGL 1101 (or Honors ENGL 1113) MATH 1111 (or its institutional equivalent) or higher COMS 1010 or 1020 (Human Communication) PSYC 2103 (Human Growth and Development) It is also to the student's advantage to have completed English 1102 or Honors ENGL 1114, POLS 1101, HIST 2111 or 2112, Anatomy and Physiology I (BIOL 2111), Anatomy and Physiology II (BIOL 2112), and two Physical Education activity courses (including swimming) prior to enrollment into the nursing sequence. For those students who have not completed one or more of these courses prior to admission to the nursing program, the uncompleted courses become co-requisites with nursing courses. A minimum grade of C is required in English Composition (ENGL 1101 and 1102), Human Anatomy and Physiology I and II (BIOL 2111 and BIOL2112),CollegeAlgebra (MATH 1111), Human Development (PSYC 2103), and Microbiology (BIOL 2500 or 3110). ' 4 Augusta State University Catalog Admission into the Nursing Program Students must apply for admission into the nursing program. Enrollment is limited 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. D If a student transfers all of the nursing core courses, the student must meet 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 with their nursing courses, adhering to a course sequence established by the nursing department: ENGL 1102 (or Honors ENGL 1114) POLS 1101 HIST 2111 or 2112 BIOL2111 BIOL2112 BIOL 2500 or 3110 Two Physical Education Activity Courses (swimming and activity elective) Students must earn a minimum grade of C in ENGL 1102 or 1114, BIOL 2111, BIOL 2112, and BIOL 2500 or 3110 to remain in good standing in the nursing program. Students who do not satisfy a minimum-grade requirement or who withdraw from any Augusta State University Catalog ^ 47 requisite course will automatically be dismissed from the ASU nursing program. Similarly, achievement of a grade of C or better in each nursing course is necessary to remain in good standing in the nursing program. A student who earns less than a C in (or withdraws from) a nursing course at ASU will be dismissed from the program. A student who has been dismissed from the nursing program for a single violation 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. Augusta State University Catalog ^9 LPNs with Transfer Nursing Credit Hours Applicants who hold a current and valid Practical Nursing License (LPN) in the State of Georgia and who transfer coursework from other nursing programs into Augusta State University are considered transfer nursing students and must meet all admission and progression criteria related to transfer nursing students, including transfer GPA requirements (at least 2.0), nursing GPA (at least 2.5), minimum grade achievement in required courses and nursing courses, and course repeat policy (only one nursing course, at most, may be repeated). 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) approved by the Augusta State University Department of Nursing.

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 Secondary Education (with Pamplin College of Arts and Sciences) 1 79 1 ' * Augusta State University Catalog Faculty Dean: Deering, T.

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 course work required to meet certification requirements. Augusta State University Catalog * '* 4. Have a record free of criminal, disciplinary, and psychological problems. 5. Have verification of physical health appropriate to the requirements of a classroom teacher. 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. 1 ' " Augusta State University Catalog 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.

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.

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. Augusta State University Catalog ' ^ BACHELOR OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION A student pursuing a business administration curriculum may choose an area of major concentration from one of the following: Accounting, Finance, Management, Management Information Systems, or Marketing.

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.

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. Clinical/Counseling Non-Thesis Track Required Courses (30 hours) PSYC 6121 Research Methods I (3 hours) PSYC 6122 Research Methods II (3 hours) PSYC 6125 Psychological Assessment I (3 hours) PSYC 6126 Psychological Assessment II (3 hours) PSYC 6143 Behavior Pathology (3 hours) PSYC 6145 Therapeutic Interventions I (3 hours) PSYC 6146 Therapeutic Interventions II (3 hours) PSYC 6190 Professional and Ethical Foundations (3 hours) Internship (6 hours).

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.

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. DEGREES AND PROGRAMS OF STUDY The College of Education offers the Master of Education (M.Ed.) and the Education Specialist (Ed.S.) degree in the following areas: Master of Education: Education Specialist: Special Education Teaching and Learning Health and Physical Education Educational Leadership Curriculum and Instruction Counselor Education Educational Leadership Augusta State University currently offers and recommends for initial certification in the following areas: P-12 Programs: French, Spanish, Music, and Health and Physical Education Early Childhood Education Middle Grades Education Secondary Education Programs: Biology, Chemistry, English, History, Mathematics, Physics/Mathematics, and Political Science Counselor Education Educational Leadership 2 ^ Augusta State University Catalog APPLICATION PROCESS Applications: Applications are available At the College of Education; Office of Graduate Studies; Office #345 on third floor of University Hall.

Students interested in a Graduate Assistantship in the College of Education should contact the Coordinator of Graduate Studies in the Office of the Dean of the College of Education. Augusta State University Catalog 211 COOPERATIVE PROGRAMS WITH GEORGIA SOUTHERN UNIVERSITY Through a cooperative program with Georgia Southern University (GSU), the Doctor of Education Degree in Education Leadership is available on the ASU campus. While this is a cooperative program, the degree is from GSU and students must apply directly to and meet admission requirements of GSU. Interested students should contact either: Office of the Dean, Col. of Education or College of Graduate Studies Augusta State University Georgia Southern University (706)737-1499 (912)681-5384 coeas@aug.edu cogs.georgiasouthern.edu 212 Augusta State University Catalog 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. Degree Requirements School Counseling Concentration 48 semester hours of academic work (39 hours must be completed at ASU) 3 semester hours credit in Exceptional Children 3 semester hours credit in Educational Technology 2 semesters of intensive internship in a school setting Completion of a professional portfolio during the capstone course Successful completion of PRAXIS II examination will yield school certification in the state of Georgia.

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.

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.
