THE UNIVERSITY SYSTEM OF
GEORGIA
The University System of Georgia includes all state-operated institutions of higher
education in Georgia 4 universities, 14 senior colleges, 15 junior colleges. These
33 public institutions are located throughout the state.
A 15-member constitutional Board of Regents governs the University System, which
has been in operation since 1932. Appointments of Board members five from the
state-at-large and one from each of the state's 10 Congressional Districts 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 Univer-
sity System.
The overall programs and services of the University System are offered through
three major components: Instruction; Public Service/Continuing Education; Research.
INSTRUCTION consists of programs of study leading toward degrees, ranging from
the associate (two-year) level to the doctoral level, and certificates.
Requirements for admission of students to instructional programs at each institu-
tion 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.
A Core Curriculum, consisting of freshman and sophomore years of study for students
whose educational goal is a degree beyond the associate level, is in effect at the univer-
sities, senior colleges, and junior colleges. This Curriculum requires 90 quarter-credit-
hours, including 60 in general education humanities, mathematics and natural
sciences, and social sciences and 30 in the student's chosen major area of study. It
facilitates the transfer of freshman and sophomore degree credits within the Univer-
sity System.
Instruction is conducted by all 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 such as short courses,
seminars, conferences, lectures, and consultative and advisory services, in a large
number of areas of interest.
Non-degree public service/continuing education is conducted by all institutions.
Typical college-degree-credit public service/continuing education courses are those
offered through extension center programs and teacher education consortiums.
RESEARCH encompasses investigations conducted primarily for discovery and ap-
plication of knowledge. These investigations include clearly defined projects in some
cases, non-programmatic activities in other cases. They are conducted on campuses
and at many off-campus locations.
17
The research investigations cover a large number and a large variety of 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 several of the senior colleges.
The policies of the Board of Regents for the government, management, and control
of the University System and the administrative actions of the Chancellor provide
autonomy of high degree 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, and are made to,
the Board of Regents. Allocations of the appropriations are made by the Board. The
largest share of the state appropriations approximately 52 percent is allocated by
the Board for Instruction. The percentages of funds derived from all sources for In-
struction in the 1980-81 fiscal year were: 77 percent from state appropriations, 20 per-
cent from student fees, 3 percent from other internal income of institutions.

HISTORY
By Act of the General Assembly on November 26, 1890, the State of Georgia
"established in connection with the State University, and forming one of the
departments thereof, a school for the education and training of Negro students." A
commission was appointed to procure the necessary grounds and buildings, and to
prescribe a course of study that would include those studies required by the Morrill
Land-Grant Acts of 1862 and 1890.
The Commission on the School for Negro Students was designated as the
Board of Trustees for the School, with perpetual succession subject to the general
Board of Trustees of the University of Georgia. The Chancellor of the University of
Georgia was given general supervision of the school.
A preliminary session of the school was held between June 1 and August 1,
1891, at the Baxter Street School building in Athens, Georgia. Richard R. Wright,
the first principal, and three other instructors comprised the faculty. In the follow-
ing year the school was moved to its present site, which is approximately five miles
southwest of the Courthouse of Savannah, Georgia, partly in Savannah and
partly in Thunderbolt. The school was given the name "The Georgia State Indus-
trial College for Colored Youths," and its faculty consisted of Major Wright as
President, instructors in English, mathematics, and natural sciences, a superin-
tendent of the mechanical department, and a foreman of the farm. The College
awarded its first baccalaureate degeee in 1898.
During the thirty years that Major Wright served as President of the College,
enrollment increased from 8 to 585 and the curriculum was expanded to include a
normal division in addition to four years of high school. Training in agriculture
and the mechanical arts also was begun.
The first women students were admitted as boarders in 1921; the first summer
session was conducted in 1922; and in 1925 the governing body of the College was
changed from a Commission with "perpetual succession" to a Board of Trustees
whose members were appointed for four year terms. All of these changes occurred
during the presidency of C. G. Wiley, the first alumnus of the College to become
president, who served from 1921 to 1926.
Under President Benjamin F. Hubert (1926-1947), the entire academic pro-
gram was reorganized. The high school and normal departments were discon-
tinued and the school became a four-year college. In 1931, when the University
System was placed under a Board of Regents, the College began to offer additional
bachelor's degree programs with majors in English, the natural sciences, social
sciences, and business administration, as well as in agriculture and home
economics.
Until 1947, the college served as the State land-grant institution for Negroes.
In that year this function was assumed by Fort Valley State College.
During the administration of President James A. Colston (1947-1949), the
faculty was strengthened and improvements were made in the physical plant.
Among the programs that were launched at this time were the Alumni Scholarship
Drive, Campus Chest, Annual Men's Day, Religious Emphasis Week, Freshmen
Week, and the Cultural Artists Series. Expanded programs of students personnel
services, and public relations, a reading clinic, and an audio visual aids laboratory
were instituted under the leadership of President Colston.
Dean W. K. Payne became acting president of the College on September 1,
1949. The Regents of the University System of Georgia changed the name of the
21
College from Georgia State College to Savannah State College on January 18,
1950. Dr. Payne became the fifth President of the College in March 1950; he served
in this capacity until his death on July 26, 1963.
At the beginning of Dr. Payne's administration, Savannah State College was
granted membership in the American Council on Education. During the course of
his administration the curriculum was expanded and improved and the institution
was admitted to membership in the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools.
In addition the academic program of the College was organized under seven
divisions Business Administration, Education, Humanities, Natural Sciences,
Social Sciences, Technical Sciences, and Home Study.
Timothy C. Meyers served as acting president from the time of Dr. Payne's
death until November 1, 1963. Myers had served as dean of the faculty since
September, 1953.
Under the leadership of Dr. Howard Jordan, Jr. (November 1, 1963 through
January 31, 1971), significant, far-reaching and innovative programs were
initiated in all aspects of the College's development. Curricula improvements in
the general education program in teacher education, and in business administra-
tion, as well as other areas, were carried forward. A graduate studies program in
elementary education was initiated in the summer of 1968. The mantle of educa-
tional leadership at Savannah State College passed from Dr. Jordan to Dr. Prince
A. Jackson, Jr., on February 1, 1971.
Many of the improvements and innovations begun during President Jordan's
administration came to fruition during the first year of Dr. Jackson's tenure. At
the time of his appointment, the new President was chairman of the Division of
Natural Sciences and director of the Institutional Self-Study which resulted in
reaccreditation of the College by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools
in December, 1971. During that same year the College was accredited by the
National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE). The three
engineering technologoy programs civil, electronics, and mechanical were
accredited by the Engineers' Council for Professional Development in 1973. Presi-
dent Jackson, the second alumnus of the College to become its President provided
vigorous and dynamic leadership geared to the task of increasing all of the
College's resources and employing them to meet more effectively the rising aspira-
tions of Black Americans and other disadvantaged persons for a richer and more
rewarding life. Dr. Jackson served until March 27, 1978, when he was succeeded by
Dr. Clyde W. Hall, who at the time of his appointment as acting president was
chairman of the Division of Technical Sciences.
In September 1979, due to the desegregation plan mandated by the Depart-
ment of Health, Education and Welfare, the faculty and students in the Division of
Education at Savannah State College were transferred to Armstrong State Col-
lege and Savannah State College received the faculty and students in the Division
of Business from Armstrong State College in a historic program swap. This
program swap resulted in the creation of a new School of Business at Savannah
State College during the 1979-80 academic year.
Additionally, on April 13, 1980 the Board of Regents of the University System
of Georgia approved a new Administrative organization plan for Savannah State
College for 1980-81. Under the plan Savannah State was reorganized into three
schools Business; Humanities and Social Sciences; and Sciences and Technol-
ogy. On September 15, 1980, Dr. Wendell G. Rayburn became the eighth president
of Savannah State College.

Buildings and Grounds
The campus, comprising 165 acres, presents a unique setting of natural
beauty. Among its 38 buildings are two that were constructed during the adminis-
tration of Major Richard R. Wright: Hill Hall (1901), and Hammond Hall (1915),
both of which have been extensively renovated in recent years. Hill Hall is occu-
pied by most of the Federal Programs and Extended Services; and Hammond Hall
is the present site of the Department of Home Economics.
W. K. Payne Hall, a two-story air conditioned building, is a main classroom
building. In addition to its fifteen classrooms, it also provides office space for
thirty-two instructors (including four departmental offices), data processing facil-
ities, a secretarial center, a language laboratory, a reading clinic and the Learning
Resource Center. Most of the classes in the English, Social Sciences, Modern
Languages, and Developmental Studies Departments are held in this facility.
Other classroom buildings, and the Departments that each house are Herty
Hall (1937) Mathematics and Physics; Hubert Technical Sciences Center (1960)
Engineering Technology and Chemistry; Morgan Hall (1936) and Morgan Hall
Annex; J. F. Kennedy Fine Arts Center (1967) Fine Arts; the Griffith-Drew
Center for the Natural Sciences (1971) Biology; and Wiley- Wilcox Gymnasium
Complex Physical Education.
Completing the physical facilities of the campus are those buildings used for
activities that are auxiliary to the instructional process, those used as student^
residence halls and those used to house the maintenance and operational staffs.
The Martin Luther King-Varnetta Frazier Student Center Complex (1969) houses
the Student Counseling Offices, the College Dining Hall, the Post Office, and the
offices directly involved in student life and student activities. Adams Hall (1931),
formerly used as the dining hall, is now an annex of the Student Center, while
Powell Hall, constructed in 1 932 as the Laboratory School for the College, is now a
Nursery School Kindergarten, and serves as the Laboratory for the Early Child-
hood Education Program. Powell Hall also houses the student-created Ethnic
Culture Center.
Three new buildings were completed in 1976. A new library, destined to be the
first circular-shaped library in the state, was occupied that year and serves as the
hub for the other buildings located on the southern portion of the campus. Adja-
cent to the new library is the Helen Adele Whiting Hall. This building houses the
School of Business. The third new building is the NROTC Armory located adja-
cent to the stadium. A portion of this building serves as an athletic field house. In
1982 the President's House and a Health Services Building were completed.
Residence halls include two recently completed ones: Smith-Bowen for women
(1971) and Melvin Bostick Men's Residence Hall (1972). Both dormitories are
air-conditioned, as is A. E. Peacock Hall (1967) and Lockette Hall (1965). Peacock
Hall accommodates 180 men and Lockette Hall, 180 women. Lester Hall (1965), a
dormitory for young women, completes the list of residence halls now used for
housing accommodations. Camilla Hall (1938) has been converted to married
student housing. Wright Hall (1951), a former dormitory, is being utilized to
provide additional academic and administrative office space. The studio for FM
radio station WHCJ is also in Wright Hall. Asa Gordon Hall (1959) was recently
renovated and converted into the Administration Building.
Most of the plant operations are directed from Medgar Evers Plant Operations
Complex, a modern facility that houses the main offices for Plant Operations and
the College Warehouse. Housekeeping services are now housed in the former field
house.

STUDENT AFFAIRS
UNDERGRADUATE ADMISSION TO THE
COLLEGE
GENERAL INFORMATION
A person who wishes to enroll at Savannah State College must file an application
form which can be obtained from the Director of Admissions and Records. If the ap-
plicant is a high school student he should file his application as early as possible dur-
ing his senior year. All applications must be filed at least twenty days prior to the
date of registration for the quarter in which the applicant plans to enroll. An appli-
cant must furnish evidence indicating that he or she has the ability to do college level
work.
Each applicant for admission is required to submit a properly completed applica-
tion form, a transcript or transcripts of previous academic work, test scores from the
Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) of the College Entrance Examination Board, and a
$10.00 nonrefundable application fee. Transcripts should be mailed directly from the
applicant's former schools to the Director of Admissions and Records. Information
regarding the Scholastic Aptitude Test may be obtained from high school counselors,
any college that is a part of the University System of Georgia, or from the College
Entrance Examination Board, Post Office Box 592, Princeton, New Jersey 08540. The
applicant should request that his scores be reported to the Director of Admissions
and Records, Savannah State College.
Savannah State College reserves the right to refuse to accept applications at any
time when it appears that students already accepted for the quarter for which the
applicant wishes to enroll will fill the institution to its maximum capacity. The col-
lege also reserves the right to reject an applicant who is not a resident of Georgia.
Savannah State College reserves the right to require that any applicant for ad-
mission take appropriate intelligence, aptitude, and physical examinations in order
to provide information bearing on his ability to pursue successfully courses of study
in which he wishes to enroll, and the right to reject any applicant who fails to pass
such examinations.
REQUIREMENTS FOR REGULAR ADMISSION
To be admitted as a regular degree-seeking student an applicant must meet the
conditions specified above and in addition:
1. Must be a graduate of an accredited or approved high school, or he must have
completed successfully the General Education Development (GED) Test. Proof
of this completion must be verified by the GED certificate;
2. Must have taken the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) and achieved a score of
750 or more on the combined verbal and mathematics section. Student scor-
ing below 750 (or below 330 on either math or verbal sections) may be considered
for Admission to the Developmental Studies Program.
3. Pay a ten dollar non-refundable application fee.
27
REQUIREMENTS FOR CONDITIONAL
ADMISSION
A student who does not meet the above requirements for regular admission will
be conditionally admitted to the college if he meets at least one of the following specific
requirements:
1. high school point average of 1.8 or better (this grade point average is to be
based on academic course-work only)
OR
2. a score of not less than 250 on the verbal section of the Scholastic Aptitude Test
OR
3. a score of not less than 280 on the mathematics section of the Scholastic Ap-
titude Test
CONDITIONAL ADMISSION
Applicants for admission whose scores on the combined verbal and mathematics
sections of the Scholastic Aptitude Test are less than 750, will be granted Conditional
Admission until they have taken the Basic Skills Examination (BSE) in English,
Reading, and Mathematics, and have achieved satisfactory scores on each test. Those
students whose scores on the BSE are satisfactory will be granted regular admission.
The "conditional admission" status will be continued for those students whose scores
are unsatisfactory on any one of the BSE components. These students will be referred
to the Department of Developmental Studies where they will be required to follow
a course of study especially designed to assist them in overcoming any deficiencies
in knowledge or skills revealed by the test results. They will be granted regular ad-
mission status and permitted to take college level courses only after they have achieved
passing scores on the Basic Skills Examination.
DEVELOPMENTAL STUDIES PROGRAM
The Developmental Studies program is designed for entering students who have
demonstrated marked deficiencies in English, Reading, and Mathematics.
A "Developmental Studies Student" is any student whose score on either of the
BSE Tests was lower than the passing score given below. Such students must take
all Developmental Studies courses (courses numbered 99 or below), unless the results
of their BSE Tests place them in one of the following categories:
1. Students who pass both the English and Reading tests but fail the Mathematics
test. These students are only required to take Developmental Studies
Mathematics; they may enroll in any 100 level course except Mathematics or
courses having Mathematics as a prerequisite.
2. Students who pass the Mathematics test but fail either the English or Reading
Test. These students may take 100 level Mathematics courses. All other courses,
except for Physical Education Seasonal Activities courses, and Freshman Orien-
tation, must be Developmental Studies courses.
28
Developmental Studies Students will have one year in which to demonstrate proficiency
in those areas in which they were initially deemed deficient. Such proficiency may
be demonstrated by attaining the score on the BSE Tests originally established as
the passing score (63 in English, 63 in Reading, 63 in Mathematics). Students who
do not demonstrate such proficiency within one year will not be permitted to continue
matriculation at Savannah State College unless special approval has been recommended
by the Developmental Studies Department and approved by the Vice President for
Academic Affairs.
TRANSFER STUDENTS
General policies governing admission of transfer students and acceptance of credit
toward advanced standing are as follows:
1. All regulations applicable to students entering college for the first time shall
be applicable to students transferring from other colleges, insofar as the regula-
tions are pertinent to the applications of transfer students.
2. A student transferring from another college will supply the Director of Ad-
missions and Records with transcripts of his records at colleges previously at-
tended. These transcripts must be sent directly from the registrars at the
previous colleges to the Director of Admissions and Records. The Director of
Admissions and Records will determine the applicant's academic qualifications
on the basis of these transcripts. An applicant will not be considered for ad-
mission unless transcripts of his record show honorable discharge from colleges
attended.

colleges and who, in the judgement of the Committee on Admissions, have
presented otherwise satisfactory credentials may be admitted.
Those courses that are equivalent to courses offered at Savannah State College will
be accepted toward advanced standing, provided that a grade of "C" or higher was
earned. Students transferring from any unit within the University System of Georgia
will be credited for courses on the same basis as students originally enrolled at Savannah
State College.
6. Credit allowed for extension, correspondence, CLEP examination or military
service schools shall not exceed a total of 45 quarter hours.
7. A transfer student who has earned excessive credit in freshman and sophomore
courses may not be granted credit in excess of 90 quarter hours below the junior
class level. No more than a total of 120 quarter hours will be acceptable as
transfer credit.
8. The college reserves the right to reject any or all credits from other institu-

vestigation or otherwise that the quality of instruction at such institutions is
for any reason deficient or unsatisfactory. The judgement of the college on this
question shall be final.
29
9. The evaluation of transfer credit is given a student upon admission. The college
reserves the right to disallow transfer credit for courses if the student's subse-
quent grades in required courses in the same subject fall below average.
TRANSIENT STUDENTS
A student who has taken work in another college may apply for the privilege of
temporary registration at Savannah State College. Such a student will ordinarily be
one who expects to return to the college in which he was previously enrolled.
The following policies shall govern the admission of students with transient status:
1. The admissions officer of Savannah State College must be furnished evidence
that the institution the student previously attended was an accredited or ap-
proved institution.
2. An applicant will be accepted as a transient student only when it appears that

plete a specific degree or other program may register as special students. A total of
45 quarter hours may be taken as special student. Any special student who decides
subsequently to enroll in a regular college program must then satisfy all of the re-
quirements of regular admission.
READMISSION OF FORMER STUDENTS
A student who has not been enrolled at Savannah State College for one or more
quarters must apply for readmission on a form provided by the Admission Office. This
requirement does not apply to students who do not register for courses during the
summer quarter. A former student who has not attended another college since leav-
ing Savannah State may be readmitted provided he is not on suspension at the time
he wishes to reenter. A former student who has attended another college since leav-
ing Savannah State must meet requirements for readmission as a transfer student
or as a transient student, whichever is applicable. A student who is readmitted r ter
an absence from the College for more than two years must meet degree requirements
as listed in the bulletin in effect at the time of his return. An additional application
fee is not required.

31
COLLEGE CREDIT BY EXAMINATION AND
EXPERIENCES
In an attempt to individualize the education of students, a program allowing credit
by examination has been initiated at the College. Through this program a student
may bypass subjects he or she has already mastered and pursue more advanced work.
A student may earn up to a total of forty-five hours of credit by examination on
the basis of College Level Examination program (CLEP) scores, scores earned under
the Advanced Placement Program (AP) of the College Board and/or military service
schools.
To earn CLEP credits on the general examination a student must obtain scores
at or above the thirty-fifth percentile to receive college credit.
To earn CLEP credit on the subject area examinations, a student must obtain
scores at or above the fiftieth percentile. In addition, a student may earn credit for
each AP Examination on which he achieves a score of three or higher.
Credit will be granted for military service schools and experience as recommend-
ed by the Commission on Accreditation of Service Experiences of the American Council
on Education.
Inquiries concerning test administration dates, validation of CLEP or AP scores
or other interpretation should be directed to the Admission or Comprehensive Counsel-
ing Offices of the College.
REGENT'S STATEMENT OF DISRUPTIVE
BEHAVIOR
The following is the policy of the Board of Regents regarding disruptive behavior
in any institution of the University System. The rights, responsibilities and prohibi-
tions contained in this statement are incorporated as a part of these regulations.
The Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia reaffirms its policies
to support fully freedom of expression by each member of the academic community
and to preserve and protect the rights and freedoms of its faculty members to engage
in debate, decision, peaceful and nondisruptive protest and dissent. The following state-
ment relates specifically to the problem described below. It does not change or in any
way infringe upon the Board's existing policies and practices in support of freedom
of expression and action. Rather it is considered necessary to combat the ultimate
effect of irresponsible disruptive and obstructive actions by students and faculty which
tend to destroy academic freedom and the institutional structures through which it
operates.
In recent years a new and serious problem has appeared on many college cam-
puses in the nation. Some students, faculty members, and others have on occasion
engaged in demonstrations, sit-ins, and other activities that have clearly and deliberate-
ly interfered with the regular orderly operation of the institution concerned. Typical-
ly, these actions have been the physical occupation of a building or campus area for
a protracted period of time or the use of verbal or written obscenities involving inde-
cent or disorderly conduct.
32
These actions have gone beyond all heretofore recognized bounds of meetings for
discussions, persuasion, or even protest in that: (1) acquiescence to demands of the
demonstrations is the condition for dispersal, and (2) the reasonable and written direc-
tions of institutional officials to disperse have been clearly ignored. Such activities
thus have become clearly recognizable as an action of force, operating outside all
established channels on the campus, including that of intellectual debate and persua-
sion which are at the heart of education.
The Board of Regents is deeply concerned by this new problem. Under the Con-
stitution of the State of Georgia, under all applicable court rulings, and in keeping
with the tradition of higher education in the United States, the Board is ultimately
responsible for the orderly operation of the several institutions of the University System
and the preservations of academic freedom in these institutions. The Board cannot
and will not divest itself of this responsibility.
Of equal or even greater importance, such actions of force as had been described
above destroys the very essence of higher education. This essence is found in the
unhampered freedom to study, investigate, write, speak, and debate on any aspect
or issue of life. This freedom, which reaches its full flowering on college and universi-
ty campuses, is an essential part of American democracy, comparable to the jury system
or the electoral process.
For these reasons and in order to respond directly and specifically to this new
problem the Board of Regents, stipulates that any student, faculty member, ad-
ministrator, or employee, acting individually or in concert with others, who clearly
obstructs or disrupts, or attempts to obstruct or disrupt any teaching, research, ad-
ministrative, disciplinary or public service activity, or any other activity authorized
to be discharged or held on any campus of the University System of Georgia is con-
sidered by the Board to have committed an act of gross irresponsibility and shall be
subject to disciplinary procedures, possibly resulting in dismissal or termination of
employment.
The Board reaffirms its belief that all segments of the academic community are
under a strong obligation and have a mutual responsibility to protect the campus com-
munity from disorderly, disruptive, or obstructive actions which interfere with academic
pursuits or teaching, learning, and other campus activities.
The Board of Regents understands that this policy is consistent with resolutions
adopted by the American Colleges in January, 1968, and by the Executive Commit-
tee of the Association for Higher Education in March, 1968, condemning actions taken
to disrupt the operations of institutions of higher education.
STUDENT LOAD
Under ordinary circumstances a student may enroll in courses up to but not in
excess of eighteen (18) quarter hours. Exceptions may be made for students who are
within two quarters of graduation, provided that total hours carried for credit do not
exceed twenty-one (21). Credit for an overload will not be granted, however, unless
it has been recommended by the students' advisor and approved by the Academic
Vice-President.
33
THE GRADING SYSTEM
The college uses letters to indicate quality of academic work. A is the highest grade;
D is the lowest passing grade. Grade distinctions and quality points values are:
Grade Meaning Quality Point Value
A
C Average 2 per credit hour
D Poor 1 per credit hour
F Failure per credit hour
WF
Excellent 4 per credit hour
Good 3 per credit hour
Withdrew, failing per credit hour
The grade "F" indicates that the student has failed to meet the minimum re-
quirements of the course.
All courses in the major, minor, professional educational or freshman English in
which the grade of D is earned must be repeated. The grade of D, like higher grades,
can be raised only by repeating the course in which the D was earned.
The following grades also used, but are not included in the determination of the
grade of the grade point average.
I (Incomplete) This symbol indicates that a student was doing satisfactory work,
but for non-academic reasons beyond his control, was unable to meet the requirements
of the course. The student may remove the I by completing the remaining requirements
within three quarters of residence: otherwise the grade of I will be changed to the grade
of F by the Registrar. It is the student's responsibility to initiate the completion of
unfulfilled requirements with the instructor.
W (Withdrawal) This symbol indicates that a student was permitted to withdraw
without penalty. Withdrawals without penalty will not be permitted after the mid-
point of the total grading period (including final examinations^, except in cases of hard-
ship as determined by the Academic Vice-President.
34
ACADEMIC REGULATIONS
Academic Advisement
Each student at Savannah State College is assigned an advisor who has the
responsibility of assisting the student in planning and completing an appropriate
academic program. The Dean of the Academic School provides general direction to
the advisement program, with department heads coordinating activities within
their respective areas, assigning advisors to students majoring in the academic
discipline(s) for which division or department is responsible. The director of
Developmental Studies assigns advisors from his staff to those students who are
undecided about the discipline in which they will major. Each student is required
to plan his or her academic program with the advisor's assistance, and to obtain
the advisor's approval of his schedule of courses each Quarter. Each advisor has
the responsibility of counseling with his advisees about the appropriateness of the
academic program they have selected as well as the appropriateness of the sched-
ules of courses selected by the advisee to the timely completion of that program. In
addition, the advisor has the responsibility of monitoring the academic progress of
his advisees, and of assisting them in evaluating their progress and in making
decisions about their present and future academic careers based upon that
evaluation.
Advisors of junior and senior students will concern themselves specifically \
with the student's progress toward graduation, maintaining a continually
updated record of courses taken and grades received. The advisor will also assist
his advisees in completing the Application for Graduation, and will certify to the
Director of Admissions and Records that all requirements had been met up to the
time that the Application was prepared.
CLASS ATTENDANCE
Savannah State College endeavors to provide optimum conditions for student
learning. Class attendance is, therefore, required of students to ensure they will be
exposed to the many classes, laboratories and related experiences that are pro-
vided for their benefit. It is recognized that extenuating circumstances may at
times make it difficult for students to attend every class meeting. Should a student
be unable to attend a class, it is his/her responsibility to notify the professor of the
reasons for such absences, and to arrange with the professor the conditions under
which any required work that was missed may be made up. Credit may not be
awarded for any course if the number of absences exceeds the number of times that
the class meets per week.
During the first week of each quarter, professors will notify each class of the
attendance policy, emphasizing what constitutes excessive absences, and the
penalty therefor. A student may appeal any absence-related decision of a professor
to the Dean of the professor's school, and ultimately to the Vice President for
Academic Affairs.
V (Audit) This symbol indicates that a student was given permission to
audit the course. Students may not transfer from audit to credit or vice versa.
K (Credit) This symbol indicates that a student was given credit for the
course via a credit by/examination program approved by his department.

REPORTING OF GRADES
At Mid-quarter, and at the end of the quarter each faculty member submits to
the Office of the Registrar the Grade Reports for each of his classes. These Reports
are prepared in multiple copies, with copies for the Registrar, the Academic Vice-
President, the Department head, and the Instructor. In addition, each student
receives a Grade Report at the end of each quarter containing the grades and credit
hours earned in each course in which he was enrolled, his grade-point average for
the quarter, and his cumulative grade-point average.
Mid-quarter grade reports contain grades for students whose work in a course
is below the C level at mid-quarter. The Office of the Registrar sends copies of such
reports to the students, their parents or guardian(s), and to the department heads.
CHANGES IN GRADES
Once a grade has been reported to the Registrar it can be changed only under
the following conditions:
1. Upon presentation to the Academic Vice-President of the College of conclu-
sive, documentary evidence that the grade was reported in error;
2. By following the procedure for removal of an I (incomplete) grade; or
3. Upon the recommendation by a committee appointed to conduct a hearing
of a student's challenge of a grade, and the acceptance of that recommenda-
tion by the Vice President.
FORGIVENESS CLAUSE
"The College will not count the quarter hours and quality points if a course is
repeated and passed with a grade higher than "D." All grades will remain on the
transcript. Adjusted grade point averages will be computed on each quarter and
used as the official average."
GRADE CHALLENGES BY STUDENTS
A student who feels that he has received an unfair grade in any course may
challenge that grade by writing a letter of appeal within 7 days to the head of the
department in which the course was offered. Upon receipt of an appeal letter the
department head consults within 7 days with the instructor, either with or without
the student, in an effort to effect a resolution. If a resolution satisfactory to the
student is not effected, the department head may appoint a Review Committee
(exclusive of both the department head and the instructor). The Review Commit-
tee, after hearing both the instructor and the student, submits its report and
recommendation to the Academic Vice-President (through the department head).
If the Vice-President accepts the Review Committee's recommendations that the
grade be changed or if he reverses a recommendation that a grade not be changed,
he directs the Registrar to make the appropriate change on the student's record.
The student must show adequate evidence of unfair grading for the department
head to grant a hearing.
36
CALCULATING THE CUMULATIVE AVERAGE
The cumulative grade point average will be calculated by dividing the number
of hours in all courses attempted in which a grade of A, B, C, D, F, or WF has been
received into the number of grade points earned. The cumulative grade point
average will be recorded on the student's permanent record. Institutional credit
shall in no way affect the cumulative grade point average.
THE HONORS PROGRAM
A. Educational Opportunities for Superior Students The Honors Program is
designed to give special attention to those students with unusually high
academic credentials. Objectives of the Honors Program are: (i) to provide
opportunities for high ability students to undertake studies in interdiscipli-
nary (biology/chemistry), cross disciplinary (applied sociology/gerontolo-
gy/biosociology), combined (history/literature, mathematics/engineering
technology) or individual (applied biology, human development, economet-
rics, nutrition) majors; (ii) to implement an early admissions program (from
the eleventh grade) and by permitting able high school students to begin
their college work while still in high school; (hi) to implement an advanced
placement program that will permit appropriately qualified students to
claim exemption and/or credit from selected courses by successfully com-
pleting prescribed examinations; (iv) to create an environment wherein
honor students can respond (along with their peers) to the challenge of
enriched alternatives to the regular curriculum and more fully develop their
special talents, aptitude and/or potential; (v) to enhance and stimulate the
development of scholarship, initiative, self-discipline, identity, self-esteem,
purpose and autonomy in students; (vi) to provide an opportunity for the
superior student to do independent study and interdisciplinary research;
(vii) to transcend the bonds of traditional faculty and student relationships
and to promote greater intellectual exchange and mutual respect; (viii) to
serve the needs of students by providing opportunities for them to win
honors recognition in their majors; (ix) to enhance the intellectual environ-
ment in the College.
B. Educational Enrichment Experiences and Activities for Qualified Students
The proposed honors program has been developed for students of excep-
tional academic ability. At the same time, it is obvious that the College may
not be able to provide all the opportunities, challenges and experiences
required by honors students. It is thus hoped that after the approval and
implementation of this honors program, appropriate interinstitutional/
cooperative arrangements will be made with governmental, industrial, and
civic organizations for the purpose of providing internship/externship
experiences for qualified students. Organizations that can provide these
opportunities include the various national laboratories of the Department of
Energy; laboratories of the Defense Department, the Environmental Protec-
tion Agency, the Departments of Agriculture and Commerce, the National
Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the National
Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). Many of these organiza-
tions can also provide research facilities and supervision of undergradute
theses.
37
C. Recognition of Productive Scholarship, Academic Achievement and Honor
Societies Savannah State College currently recognizes academic achieve-
ment in each of three ways: (a) through the award of certificates and/or
scholarships at honors convocation(s); (b) through placement of students on
honor rolls and dean's lists; and (c) through special designation at com-
mencement exercises. It is the opinion of the committee that while these
efforts are commendable, they should be augmented. Additional rewards of
productive scholarship should include the award of gold, silver, and bronze
keys as well as certificates of merit and appropriate financial awards at
annual convocations.
It is recommended also that existing honor societies be recognized by (a)
including a listing and (program) descriptions of honor societies in all
official College publications, especially the catalog. Representatives of
existing honor societies should be included in the membership of any honor
society formed to provide for the co-curricular activities of honor students.
ORGANIZATION OF THE PROGRAM
A. Honors Courses and Components The honors program consists of the
following: (a) a freshman honors component, (b) a general honors or
departmental honors component, (c) an institutional honors component and
(d) an honors degree component. Since in every facet of honors course work,
greater depth of focus is emphasized, the following categories of honors
courses are being proposed: (i) special courses developed and selected for
honors candidates; (ii) separate honors sections of existing courses, (iii)
special honors, laboratory projects, and discussion sections in regular
courses; and (iv) individual research projects usually culminating in a term
paper.
B. Advanced Placement of Superior Students Another element of the honors
program is advanced placement of students.
The advanced placement status (permitting the waiver of courses
and/or the exemption of coursework with credit) may be attained for fresh-
man and transfer students through the achievement of appropriate scores
on examinations administered by the College Board, the College Level
Equivalency Program (CLEP) examinations administered by Savannah
State College, credit by examination tests of the College Board and exemp-
tion examinations administered by various departments. Another element
of the honors program is the early admissions program described below.
C. Early Admissions This phase of the honors program will be a supervised
activity designed to provide an opportunity for qualified students to com-
plete their freshman year at Savannah State College. This may take two
forms: a student may be admitted from the eleventh grade or may enroll in
college classes while still in high school. In either instance, the student will
be accorded full freshmen status. Another early admissions program to be
pursued is a pre-freshman summer project which will permit the enrollment
of a student in the summer quarter of his or her graduation from high school.
Details of these programs will be provided in a separate report on Advanced
Placement.
38
OPERATION OF THE (HONORS) PROGRAM
Admission Requirements: Procedures (1) A prospective student applies to
the Honors (Advisory) Council for certification as an honors candidate. This
certification will be based on a review of past academic experiences and/or
achievements, recommendations from high school/college instructors/pro-
fessional references, and personal interviews. Application can also be made
in person or by mail by students who are not in residence, however, only
students admitted to the College will be considered, (ii) Prospective fresh-
man students should apply for admission several weeks prior to their
matriculation into the College. Successful applicants will participate in a
summer orientation program, during which they will be introduced to
honors advisers and given the opportunity to discuss their academic goals
relative to the program. Entering freshmen who do not participate in the
orientation program will be assigned advisers, at registration, (iii) Students
currently enrolled in college programs should apply in the Honors Program
Office, usually several weeks prior to a given registration period. Automatic
admission will be granted to students whose cumulative grade point aver-
age (GPA) is 3.50 or higher. Applications from students whose GPA is
between 3.0 and 3.50 will be considered individually; in general, however,
only students who have passed the Regents' Language Skills Examination
(LSE) will be eligible for institutional honors (implies maintenance of an
honors status in both major and non-major areas). Transfer students (from
junior and/or senior colleges) may be admitted to the honors program on the
basis of appropriate advanced standing or placement. In such instances,
retroactive honors credit for appropriate honors courses taken at other
institutions will be awarded only after a careful review of a student's
academic record.
Sophomore Honors
Sophomore honors will be conferred upon a student who has completed a
minimum of 30 of his/her first 90 quarter credits at the College (with at least 5
honors credit in the humanities, 5 in the social sciences, and 5 credits in the
physical, applied, or biological sciences; a grade of B or better is required. In
addition, the student must also maintain a minimum grade point average (over
all) of B (3.0), on a four point scoring system (A=4.0). Eligibility for this designa-
tion will be determined at the end of the quarter in which a student completes 81
quarter credits.
Prior scholastic recognition such as sophomore honors is not a prerequisite for
graduation with honors; however, substantial participation in the honors pro-
gram during the first two years will assist the student in preparing for the last two
years while also facilitating earning of an honors degree.
B. Retention of Students in the Program (1) Honors candidates may elect
honors courses provided that prerequisites for such courses are met. Thus
freshmen in the honors program may elect one sophomore level course each
quarter; similarly, sophomore honors candidates may elect one junior level
course each quarter. Juniors and seniors (in appropriate departments and
schools) may take graduate courses with prior approval of the instructors,
the head of the student's major departments and deans of their schools
39
and may receive honors credit for such courses. Each honors candidate
will be assigned a special adviser. It will be the responsibility of the adviser
to assist the student in selecting a proper balance of honors and regular
courses in order to meet requirements for graduation. In any event, no more
than 90 honors quarter credits (hours) may be applied towards graduation;
(ii) Students who are not honors candidates may petition the Honors Advi-
sory for permission to enroll in honors courses. When enrollment in honors
courses is limited, preference will be given to honors candidates. All stu-
dents who successfully complete honors courses will receive honors credit
for such courses, (iii) A student will be withdrawn from the honors program
for failure to (a) maintain a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 (2.50 for
first quarter freshmen); (b) carry any honors courses for three consecutive
quarters (unless excused by the chairman of the honors council/director of
the honors program). Students who withdraw from the College for academic
reasons will also be withdrawn from the program. All students who have
been withdrawn from the program for one or more reasons listed above may
reapply for the honors program, if and when, they meet the admissions
requirements. Students planning to withdraw from the honors program
may do so at any time provided they notify the honors program office of
their intention in writing.
C. Admission of Foreign Students Foreign (international) students may be
admitted to the Honors Program provided they meet the general require-
ments for freshman and sophomore honors. Such international students
will be admitted to the honors program (unless prior United States educa-
tional experience is evident) only after they have completed a year of study
at the College. Advanced Placement status and other academic advance-
ments shall not negate the requirement just described. Since educational
systems vary widely, the Honors Council may waive this rule after careful
review of the (individual) student's record.
D. Non Traditional Students The designation "non-traditional" applies to
students who are enrolled on a part-time basis. In general, non-traditional
students may be admitted to the program only if their academic course load
is twelve (12) or more quarter hours (as an average). Consequently, such
students may be considered for honors certification on an annual basis
(every spring).
E. Honors Degree Requirements In addition to the completion of general
requirements, an honors degree candidate must (1) have participated in the
program in both junior and senior years at the College; (2) have completed 60
honors credits in the junior and senior years, and a minimum of 15 honors
credits in departments outside the major; (3) be certified as having com-
pleted an honors curriculum in a major department, including the comple-
tion of an acceptable Senior Honors Thesis (for 10 credits). A satisfactory
substitution recommended by the student's major department and approved
by the Honors Council will suffice; (4) maintain an overall grade point
average of 3.0 or above.
Since this honors program does not seek to abolish designations of
honors status based on grade point averages (e.g. cum laude, etc.), it is
suggested that the following designations be adopted for the recognition of
honors graduates and candidates, (i) An award based on attainment of
sophomore honors and an honors degree, (ii) Distinction in the major
40
(honors in the major), (iii) Certificates of merit to students not earning the
honors degree, (iv) Thesis of Distinction for outstanding research and a
presidential citation, (v) Institutional honors to those students earning
honors certification in major and non-major areas. (A minimum grade point
average of 3.0 will also be required.)

not to exceed twenty hours. Additionally, students whose general average is
3.00 or better may be permitted to take quarter hours in excess of a normal
load up to a limit of 20 quarter hours.
GRADUATION HONORS
Graduation with honors is based upon completion of a minimum attendance
period of six quarters and completion of at least ninety hours at Savannah State
College. In addition, students who graduate with honors must attain the following
grade-point average for the entire period of college attendance:
Cum Laude 3.00
Magna Cum Laude 3.40
Summa Cum Laude 3.75
41
ACADEMIC PROBATION AND SUSPENSION
Savannah State College is operated for students who demonstrate seriousness
of purpose and ability and disposition to profit by college work. Students who fail
to fulfill the scholarship requirements of the institution are subject to scholastic
discipline. At the end of each quarter the Office of the Registrar computes cumula-
tive gradepoint averages in order to determine the academic standing of all stu-
dents in residence. At that time the Registrar shall notify the Vice-President for
Academic Affairs of the College prior to notification of students and their parents
or guardians of the academic probation, suspension, or dismissal of students. In
addition, he shall notify other appropriate personnel of this action.
1. Any student who earns a D or F in English 107, 108, or 109 or in any course
required in his major or minor must repeat the course during the next
quarter that it is offered.
2. Stages of Progress Minimum Cumulative
Quarter Hours Grade Point Average
1-45 1.5

A student whose cumulative grade point average at the end of any quarter is
at or above the minimum grade point average for his appropriate stage of
progress will be considered in good standing.
A student whose cumulative grade point average first falls below the min-
imum grade point average for his stage of progress will then be placed on
academic warning.
A student on academic warning whose cumulative grade point average is
not raised to the satisfactory level for his stage of progress at the end of the
quarter will then be placed on academic probation.
A student who does not achieve the cumulative grade point average for his
stage of progress, but does maintain a 2.0 grade point average for his
probationary quarter will be continued on probation for the next quarter of
attendance.
A student who does not raise his grade point average to the minimum level
for his stage of progress or achieve a 2.0 grade point average during his
probationary quarter will be suspended from the college for one quarter.
3. A student on probation (1) may not register for less than ten hours and not
more than thirteen hours; (2) must repeat all courses in which he earned the
grade of F that are prescribed in his curriculum and all courses in his major
and minor concentration and Freshman English in which he earned the
grade of D; (3) must report to his academic advisor for counseling imme-
diately after being notified of his probationary status, and (4) will not be
permitted to represent the College or hold office in any college organization.
4. Any student who fails all of his classes during a given quarter, or who
withdraws from all of his classes without an approved withdrawal from the
college, will not be permitted to enroll for the succeeding quarter.

5. A student who has been suspended for academic reasons may be readmitted
when he has complied with the following procedures:
a. Submission of an Application for Readmission at least thirty (30) days
prior to the beginning of the quarter that he expects to return;
b. Submission of evidence of increased motivation and maturity.
The College reserves the right to deny admission to any student who
has been suspended for academic reasons.
6. Applications for Readmission are considered by the Committee on Admis-
sion on the basis of detailed information concerning the cause of failure,
academic goals, entrance tests, college grades previoulsy earned, length of
absence, motivation, outside commitments, and recommendations from
appropriate personnel.
7. A student readmitted after suspension will be placed on academic probation
and will be subject to the regulations listed in number two above.

WITHDRAWING FROM COLLEGE
Students at Savannah State College are regarded as young adults who are
capable of making mature decisions, with minimum counseling, about their edu-
cational plans. Accordingly, any student who feels that the circumstaces require
his withdrawal from the college may do so by filing the appropriate forms in the
office of the Dean of Students. The Dean of Students, counselors, and advisors will
counsel with the student in an effort to determine whether the circumstances are
such that the College can provide a remedy which will make it possible for the
student to remain in school. If such remedy cannot be afforded, the Dean of
Students, or his designated representative, will formally approve the request for
withdrawal and forward the appropriate forms to the offices of the Academic
Vice-President, the Director of Admissions and Records, and the Comptroller.
Students not able to follow this procedure should write or have a representa-
tive write to the Dean of Students, requesting permission to withdraw. Students
who withdraw without giving formal notice will forfeit claims for any refunds.
THE LAST DAY TO WITHDRAW FROM ALL CLASSES FOR THE QUAR-
TER WILL BE THE LAST DAY OF SCHEDULED CLASSES.
JOINT CONTINUING EDUCATION CENTER
The Joint Continuing Education Center was established in 1979 to combine
the resources of both Armstrong State College's Community Service Division and
Savannah State College's Extended Services Area. Utilizing a Downtown Center
located at 428 Bull Street, the Dean of the Joint Continuing Education Center
operates a unified Continuing Education program dedicated to serving the people
of Savannah, Chatham County, the State of Georgia and, for some programs,
beyond those boundaries.
A wide variety of programs are offered at Armstrong State College, Savannah
State College, the Downtown Center, and when it is appropriate, at job sites,
44
schools, community centers and other locations in Savannah. Instructors are
drawn from the faculties of both institutions, from qualified experts in the Savan-
nah community and from consultants throughout the region.
On the Savannah State campus, the Extended Services Area is responsible for
the coordination of all community service/continuing education activities. Since
these activities are viewed as a college- wide function, responsibility for program
development is shared with the various academic units on campus. The major
community service/continuing education components of the college are the short-
course/conference program, the federally-funded grant programs, and the Cor-
respondence Study Office.
SHORT-COURSE/CONFERENCE PROGRAM
The Short-course/conference Program offers non-credit courses; conferences,
seminars and workshops for the general public. Formal admission to the college is
not required.
Classes meet once or twice weekly during the college's regular quarter. The
length of a class meeting ranges from one hour to two hours. No A,B,C, grades are
given, but the S or U mark is given denoting a participant's satisfactory or
unsatisfactory completion of a course. Continuing Education Units are awarded
participants who successfully complete a course, and a record of enrollments
maintained.
Federally Funded Grant Programs
A fundamental purpose of the Extended Services Area/ Federally Funded
Grant Program component is to serve the needs of particular groups, including
persons from low-income families or academically unprepared individuals from
the community who require continued education, in both their career/ vocational
pursuit or personal development. To accomplish this, programs and projects are
designed, written and submitted for federal funding.
Programs in Pre-Employment Guidance (Labor Market Orientation); Career/
Vocational Exploration (Project Discovery); Classroom Training and Remedia-
tion (Project Explore); Vocational Exploration Classroom Training and Work
Experience (Project HIRE Helping Individuals Reach Employment); have been
funded during recent academic years.
CORRESPONDENCE STUDY
The Correspondence Program In addition to credit instruction on the cam-
pus, Savannah State College is authorized to offer correspondence courses. Such
courses have become recognized sources for public education, reflecting a sense of
obligation to those who cannot undertake resident instruction and to those who do
not require resident instruction for personal growth and enrichment.
Students registering in correspondence study should meet the minimal
requirements of graduation from an accredited high school.
45
College correspondence study is designed as an auxiliary to regular campus
classroom and study materials and instructors are usually the same as those for
resident instruction.
Courses completed in this program and courses completed in a similar pro-
gram at recognized institutions will be accepted for credit toward graduation at
Savannah State College under the following conditions:
1) Not more than 45 quarter hours may be earned in correspondence.
2) Not more than 50% of the required courses in the major or minor may be
completed in correspondence.
3) Courses may not be taken in correspondence study to remove deficiencies
earned in residence.
4) Correspondence courses may not be taken by students who have completed
135 or more quarter hours.
Students desiring to have correspondence credit counted toward graduation
should obtain written permission from the chief academic officer of the College
and present this statement to the Correspondence Study Office.
Information concerning courses, credit, fees, examinations, textbooks, etc.,
may be obtained from: Correspondence Study Office, Savannah State College,
Savannah, Georgia 31404.

EVENING, WEEKEND, AND
SWING PROGRAM
Savannah State College has seen the importance of reaching greater varieties
of people and meeting varied educational needs through the establishment of the
Weekend, Evening, and Swing Program. This program aims to provide greater
educational opportunities for working adults who find it necessary to combine
work with school.
Courses in Evening, Weekend, Swing are offered by faculty members from
various departments in the School of Business, School of Humanities and Social
Science, and the School of Science and Technology. For description of the courses,

participate in the Georgia Legislative Internship Program. Students selected to
participate in the Program are assigned to a legislative office or to legislative
committees in either the House or Senate, and work directly under and are respon-
sible to the office head or committee chairman. The first hand experience of
observing and partipating in the legislative process is considered as part of the
student's academic program and the student may receive academic credit for such
participation. The program at Savannah State College is under the general direc-
tion of the head of the Department of Social and Behavioral Sciences.

lation and nonresident fees are subject to refund.)
Room, board, and laundry charges will be made through the end of the week
during which the student withdraws. A student who wishes to withdraw from the
dining hall and dormitory must secure a permit from the personnel dean. This
permit, when submitted with the ID, will entitle the student to a refund.
The Student Activity, Athletic, and Health fees are not refundable. In addi-
tion, refunds will not be made to students who do not withdraw officially, nor will
refunds be given for reduced loads.
The Schedule of Refunds refers to calendar days, beginning with the first day

REGENTS' TESTING PROGRAM
"Each institution of the University System of Georgia shall assure the other
institutions, and the System as a whole, that students obtaining a degree from that
institution possess literacy competence, that is, certain minimum skills of reading
and writing."
"The Regents' Testing Program has been developed to help in the attainment
of this goal. The objectives of the Testing Program are: (1) to provide Systemwide
information on the status of student competence in the areas of reading and
writing; and (2) to provide a uniform means of identifying those students who fail
to attain the minimum levels of competence in the areas of reading and writing."
INSTITUTIONAL POLICIES REGARDING
THE REGENTS' TESTING PROGRAM
Students enrolled in degree programs are required by the University System to
successfully complete a test of competence in the areas of reading and writing
standard English.
REQUIREMENTS
1. Students who have completed forty-five (45) credit hours and passed En-
glish 107 and 108 are REQUIRED to take the test.
2. Students who have completed sixty (60) credit hours regardless of the
English courses passed MUST sit for the test.
a. First time examinees must take both parts of the Regents' Test.
b. Students who pass both parts of the Test in one administration or in
separate administrations will be considered to have met the Regents'
Examination requirements.
c. Those students who, prior to January 1 , 1980, failed to pass both parts of
the Test in one administration, but who passed both parts in separate
administrations, are now to be considered as having met the Regents'
Examination Requirement. If they have completed all other graduation
requirements, their date of graduation, (the date which will appear on
the diploma), will be the first institutional graduation date after Janu-
ary 1, 1980.
3. A student with less than forty-five (45) credit hours may take the test after
he/she has completed the basic core of English courses (English 107, 108,
and 109).
REMEDIATION FOR REGENTS EXAMINATION
Students who have not passed the Regents' Test before they acquire seventy-
five (75) hours of degree credits must enroll in English 092 (Writing) and/or
English 093 (Reading). While remediating, a student may not take more than ten
(10) regular credit quarter hours.
55
The student must remediate each quarter that he/she is enrolled until both
parts of the Regents' Test are passed. Students enrolled in remedial courses will be
allowed to take the Regents' Test when they have satisfied course requirements,
including the following: at least one "2" grade on the screening test from a test
reviewer, and a score of 54 on the reading screening test.
Grades for 092 will be SATISFACTORY (S) or UNSATISFACTORY (U). No
other grade will be given for either course.
STUDENT RESPONSIBILITY
Students are responsible for complying with this policy. Failure to comply will
result in disciplinary action ranging from warning to suspension, depending on
the gravity of the situation.
ACADEMIC ADVISING
Academic advisors should verify compliance with this policy before signing-
off on class schedule of their respective advisees. Accordingly, academic advisors
should:
1. Encourage but not require students to sit for the Regents' Test upon the
completion of English 107, 108 and 109 with less than 45 credit hours.
(There is a tendency for students to perform better when test is taken
immediately after completing English sequence.)
2. Assure that advisees adhere to policy regarding required sitting and reme-
diation for the test.
TRANSFER STUDENTS
All transfer students from within the System shall be subject to all provisions
of this policy. Students from institutions outside the System who transfer to
Savannah College with 60 or more degree credit hours shall take the Test during
the initial quarter of enrollment and in subsequent quarters shall be subject to all
provisions of this policy.
FOREIGN STUDENTS
Students whose native language is other than English may be exempted from
taking the Regents' Test; however, such students must take the Savannah State
College English Competency Test for Foreign Students in lieu of the Regents' Test.
Such students are subject to all of the provisions of this policy regarding eligibility
and remediation.
HANDICAPPED STUDENTS
Students with legal visual, auditory, or motor handicaps may arrange for
local certification of competency with the Regents' Test Coordinator.
56
ESSAY TEST REVIEW POLICY
The Regents' Test itself and the scoring criteria are not subject to review; the
same method of scoring will be used during the review process as that in the
original scoring. Scoring will follow the normal holistic procedure.
1. A student may request a formal review of his/her failure on the essay
component of the Regents' Test if that student's essay received at least one
passing score among the three scores awarded and if the student has
completed English 107, 108, and 109.
2. A student must initiate the review procedure by mid-term of his/her first
quarter of enrollment after the quarter in which the essay was failed. The
review must be initiated, however, within one calendar year from the
quarter in which the failure occurred.
3. The review will be initiated at Savannah State College by the student's
completing a "Request for Review" form available at the Office of the
Regents' Test Coordinator. The Regents' Coordinator will determine the
student's eligibility based upon the criteria in paragraphs 1 and 2 above.
The review, if warranted, will be conducted by a three-member panel (com-
posed of two English instructors and one additional person) appointed by
the Vice President of the College and designated as the on-campus review
panel.
4. The on-campus review panel may (1) sustain, by majority opinion, the
essay's failing score, thus terminating the review process, or (2) recom-
mend, by majority opinion, the re-scoring of the essay by the Regents'
Testing Program central office. The Regents' Test Coordinator will notify
the student of the results of the on-campus review.
5. If the on-campus review panel recommends re-scoring of the essay, the
Regents' Test Coordinator will transmit that recommendation in writing
along with a copy of the essay, to the Office of the System's Director of the
Regents' Testing Program.
The System's Director will utilize the services of three (3) experienced
Regents' essay scorers other than those involved in the original scoring.
The decision of this panel on the merits of the essay will be final, thus
terminating the review process. The Regents' Test Coordinator will notify
the student of the results of the review.
6. All the applicable regulations of the Regents' Test Policy remain in effect
for those students whose essays are under review, including those regula-
tions relating to remediation and to retaking the Test.
REGISTRATION PROCEDURES FOR
THE REGENTS' EXAM
All students will be notified by the Comprehensive Counseling Center of the
date and time they are required to take the Regents. Failure to take the test at the
prescribed time will result in disciplinary action ranging from a reprimand to
suspension.

a citizen or permanent resident of the United States, you are eligible to apply for
assistance under these programs. Remember grants are gifts but loans must be repaid
A. Pell Grant you may apply for a Basic Grant if you are an undergraduate
on at least a half-time basis in a program of study which is six months in length
or longer. Basic Grants range from $50 to $1600, depending on your eligibili-
ty as determined by a standard formula. The formula uses the information
you provide on your application to produce an eligibility index number. The
index number is not a dollar figure but is used, along with the total cost of
attending Savannah State College, and your enrollment status, to determine
the actual amount of your grant. Basic Grants is an entitlement program, it
means that all students who are eligible will receive Basic Grant awards.
1. Basic Grants will be paid through SSC. Your eligibility and the actual
amount of your aid are determined of the Office of Education. The finan-
cial aid officer cannot make any adjustments in your award beyond those
required by the Government.
2. Your eligibility for a Basic Grant does not directly affect your eligibility
for any other aid. However, SSC requires you to apply for a Basic Grant
before you can be considered for other aid.
B. Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants (SEOG) are for students of
exceptional financial need who without the grant would be unable to continue
their education. You are eligible to apply if you are enrolled at least half-time
as an undergraduate student. If you receive an SEOG, it cannot be less than
$200 or more than $1500 a year. Normally, an SEOG may be received for up
to four years, the total that may be awarded is $4000 for a four-year course
of study. If you are selected for an SEOG, SSC must provide you with ad-
ditional assistance at least equal to the amount of the grant. (This is a match-
ing grant)
C. College Work Study (CWS) provides jobs for students who need financial
aid and who must earn a part of their educational expenses. You may apply
if you enrolled at least half-time as a graduate or undergraduate student. SSC
arranges jobs-on-campus or off -campus with a public or private non-profit agen-
cy. If you are found to be eligible you may be employed for as many as 40
hours a week. In arranging a job and determining how many hours a week
you may work under this program, the financial aid officer will take into ac-
count (a) your need for financial assistance; (b) your class schedule; (c) your
health and academic progress.
In general your salary will be based on the current minimum wage, but
will also be related to the type of work you do and the proficiency required
of you.
58
D. National Direct Student Loans (NDSL) the NDSL Program is for students
who are enrolled at least half-time and who need a loan to meet their educa-
tional expenses. You may borrow up to a total of: (a) $2500 if you have com-
pleted less than two years of a program leading to a Bachelor's degree; (b) $5000
if you are an undergraduate student who had already completed two years of
study toward a Bachelor's degree (this total already includes any amount you
borrowed under NDSL for your first two years of study); (c) $10,000 for
graduate study (this total includes any amount you borrowed under NDSL
for your undergraduate study)
Repayment begins nine months after you graduate or leave school for other
reasons. You may be allowed up to ten years to pay back the loan. During
the repayment period you will be charged 3 per cent interest on the unpaid
balance of the loan principle.
No payments are required for up to three years if you serve in the Armed
Forces, Peace Corps, or VISTA. The financial aid officer can tell you about
loan collection provisions for borrowers who enter fields of teaching, or who
teach in designated schools.
E. Guaranteed Student Loans (GSL) enable you to borrow directly from a bank,
credit union, savings and loan association or other participating lender which
is willing to make the loan. The loan is guaranteed by a state or private non-
profit agency or insured by the Federal Government. The maximum you can
borrow as an undergraduate is $2500 a year. A graduate student may borrow
up to $5000 a year. The interest rate on these loans is 7 per cent. The total
amount outstanding that you may borrow for undergraduate study is $7500.
Most students are eligible for Federal interest benefits. If you qualify for
these benefits, the Federal Government will pay the interest for you until you
begin repaying the loan, and during authorized periods of deferment.

STANDARDS OF SATISFACTORY ACADEMIC
PROGRESS FOR STUDENTS RECEIVING
TITLE IV FEDERAL FUNDS
I. Introduction
The Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended by Congress in 1980, mandates
that institutions of higher education establish minimum standards of "satisfac-
tory progress" for students receiving financial aid from Title IV federal programs.
These standards apply to the following programs: Pell Grant, State Student Incen-
tive Grants, Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants, College Work-Study
Awards, National Direct Student Loans, and the Guaranteed Student Loans.
Students must be both in good academic standing and making satisfactory
progress while receiving the above mentioned financial assistance.
II. Eligibility Statement for Financial Aid
A student is officially eligible for financial aid as long as he/she is enrolled as
a regular or developmental studies student and maintains an academic average
that meets the College's scholastic standards for continued enrollment. A student
is officially considered to be making satisfactory progress as long as he/she is
eligible for continued enrollment according to the academic standards as stated in
the Savannah State College Bulletin.
III. Good Academic Standing
For the purpose of receiving financial assistance, the U.S. Department of
Education has defined "good standing" as the eligibility of a student to continue
attending the institution in accordance with the standards of the institution.
62
IV. Satisfactory Academic Progress
During the year in which a student receives financial assistance, that student
must complete an average of 10 degree credit hours for each quarter. (10 degree
credit hours approximate 80% of a normal course load for a typical course of study.)
Students who have been full-time for an academic year must have 30 degree
credit hours at the end of three quarters. Students with less than 30 degree credit
hours will not be considered making satisfactory progress, and no assistance will
be offered until his/her eligibility is restored. Part-time students must have 15
degree credit hours at the end of three quarters. Eligibility may be restored in two
ways:
A. Enroll for the necessary hours during the next quarter of enrollment
without financial aid; or
B. Enroll the next quarter for at least 10 degree credit hours plus the needed
hours to bring the previous academic year to 30 without financial aid.
Successful completion of either of the above options will reestablish a stu-
dent's eligibility for financial assistance. However, awards will be made only if
funds are available, since most funds are committed for the entire year before the
end of the Summer quarter.
C. Academic Standing - Policies governing the academic standing of stu-
dents are defined in the Savannah State Undergraduate Catalog. Stu-
dents must meet the standards listed below in order to remain eligible to
receive financial aid:
1. Students in good standing may receive aid;
2. Students who are placed on academic probation remain eligible to
receive aid in the initial quarter of probationary enrollment but lose
eligibility for aid in the next quarter if they fail to earn a (2.0) or better
GPA in at least 10 hours of work in the initial quarter of probation.
3. As long as students on academic probation continue to make satisfac-
tory progress by earning a 2.0 GPA or better in at least 10 hours each
quarter they may continue to receive aid.
4. Students who have lost their financial aid eligibility because of aca-
demic suspension may regain their financial aid eligibility after one
quarter without financial aid in which they have earned at least a 2.0
grade point average and 10 quarter hours; and
5. Students are reminded that the 10 hours minimum referred to here does
not alter the normal requirements that they be enrolled in a specified
number of hours in order to be eligible to receive designated funds,
normally a full course load of 12 or more hours to be eligible for full
financial aid benefits.
A readmitted student who has been suspended for academic reasons must, in
the first quarter after readmission, earn a 2.0 grade-point average as a full-time
student before he/she is again considered to be making satisfactory progress
toward a degree. The award of financial aid will be suspended during this quarter.
The Director of Records and Admissions will inform the Director of Financial
Aid of dismissals for academic reasons and unsatisfactory academic progress.
63
V. Appeal of Financial Aid Suspension
A. A student who is suspended from aid may appeal to the Student Financial
Aid Committee using a prescribed form on which the student offers rea-
sons why he/she did not achieve the minimum academic requirements
and why his/her aid should not be terminated.
B. The Student Financial Aid Committee will review the appeal and deter-
mine whether or not the suspension was justified. The student will be
notified in writing of the decision.
64
STUDENT DEVELOPMENT
Student Affairs
The Dean of Students at Savannah State College is responsible to the President
for the over-all administration of Student Affairs. Staff members share with the Dean
of Students the administration of the Student Affairs program.
In the broadest sense, the Student Affairs program is concerned first with the
life of the student outside the classroom. This definition, however, is inadequate as
every person involved in student personnel work at the College, as is true of the facul-
ty and other administrative officers, is deeply interested in the academic work of our
students. The intellectual development of the student is and must continue to be the
primary objective of Savannah State College.
The undergirding principle of the program at Savannah State College is that there
is a different type of student on the campus today who is living in a very different
type of world from his predecessors. The differences brought on by cultural, religious
and technological revolutions dictate new and fresh ways that must be discovered
to meet the needs of the students. Students must now be helped to develop the area
of living rather than just the business of living. Therefore, any keen observer can discern
immediately that at Savannah State College more and more efforts are being made
to help the student not only "do something" but to be someone to be more socially
responsible to his community, culture and world. This is part of the great and impor-
tant work of Student Affairs.
There is no one best program in comparison to others. Student Affairs is no bet-
ter or no worse than its ability to recognize and welcome individual differences in
students and its ability to get the full cooperation and input from the institution's
administration, faculty, and staff.
RESIDENCE LIFE
There are six dormitories and one apartment building operated for students at
Savannah State. These structures offer a cross section of facilities, services, and pro-
grams. Fees and qualifications for residency in the apartment building are different
from those for the dormitories. Assignment to living areas is based on sex and classifica-
tion. Additional criteria are used for apartment residency. Expectant mothers are not
allowed to remain in dormitories.
Residence on campus complements classroom instruction. Educational, as well
as recreational and cultural, programs are available in the residence halls. There are
certain regulations in place to insure that the living/learning processes of students
are not unduly interfered with. Such regulations can be found in this catalog and
publications distributed by the Office of Student Affairs and the Office of Housing.
65
The policies of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia require
that all campus residential units for students be filled before students are permitted
to live off -campus. All students below the senior year (135 quarter hours) are required
to live on campus, unless a condition below exists:
a. A student is married and furnishes proof thereof;
b. A student's parents are residents of Chatham County;
c. A student commutes from a neighboring county that is within a 50 mile radius
of the College;
d. A student is a legal resident of Chatham county;
e. A student (handicapped, expectant mother) with special housing needs.
All students are requried to apply for housing at the beginning of the academic
year, summer school, and any quarter that is proceeded by a break in continued
residence. A room reservation/damage/key deposit is also required. Students are ex-
pected to formally clear housing at the end of Spring and Summer Quarters, and any
other quarter if they do not plan to return or graduate. Dormitory directors will sign
the appropriate clearance form for students.
Room assignments are made for the academic year. Freshmen students live
together, with the exception of student-athletes and other students by permission of
the Dean for Student Affairs. In the event that an occupant of a double room moves
out, the remaining student will be assigned another roommate, pay a higher rate, or
be assigned to another room.
Students who are required to live in dormitories are also required to purchase a
meal plan. Students who have diets prescribed by physicians may be exempted, if the
College Cafeteria is unable to prepare the diet meals. Hot plates and other cooking
devices are prohibited. If found in rooms, they will be confiscated and the owner charged
a penalty fee of $25.00
66
Freshman Orientation
GED 101. Student Life
This course is designed to expose all freshman students to a series of group and in-
dividualized experiences that emphasize the processes of goal-setting, self-assessment,
change strategies and evaluation. Through instruction and consultation, students are
encouraged to direct their own development by acquiring appropriate life skills. This
two-hour class includes units of instruction that cover; knowing your college, strategies
for academic success (study skills, time management), values clarification and self-
concept development, test-taking skills, academic planning and career exploration.
Two quarter credit hours. All quarters.
Student Conduct
Each student enrolled at Savannah State College is expected at all times to ex-
emplify due respect for order, morality, and the rights of others.
The College reserves the right to exclude at any time any student whose conduct
is deemed improper or prejudicial to the welfare of the college community.
Counseling Service
The Comprehensive Counseling Center (CCC) offers professional counseling ser-
vices to all prospective and regularly enrolled students at Savannah State College.
The services offered include academic, personal, social and career counseling as well
as an array of test information and interpretive data. These services can be provided
in an individual or group setting.
The professional staff consists of the director, four staff counselors, and a compe-
tent group of peer counselors. The peer counselors provide an opportunity for student-
to-student counseling and they render tutorial assistance to students experiencing
academic difficulties.
The entire staff operates with the basic understanding that there are some stu-
dent oriented concerns that extend beyond the scope of their personal resources or
areas of expertise. With this in mind, a strong and expansive referral service has been
established with other campus based programs and community agencies. Referral made
by the staff even to another campus program or office, are made only with the ap-
proval of the counselee involved in the given situation.
The staff invites you to visit them to share your experiences, concerns and im-
pressions so that you can decide in what way they can benefit you most. A student
desirous of visiting the counseling center may come in, with or without an appoint-
ment. If you wish to drop in without advance arrangements, you usually will have
to wait only a short time while the secretary arranges for a counselor to meet with you.
The center is open Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. - 5:30 p.m. Counseling
is confidential and free to students. The center is located on the second floor of the
King-Frazier Student Center.
67
Orientation
The orientation program is under the supervision of the Comprehensive Counsel-
ing Center. It is designed to assist new students in becoming acquainted with other
students, with college regulations, with routine procedures, with campus traditions,
with the opportunities offered for training here, and with specialized vocational
guidance. This program concentrates on all freshmen and new students entering the
College in the first week of the fall quarter. Students derive from the program their
immediate informational needs.
A follow-up course dealing with the psychology of human relationships, required
of freshmen and transfer students, is designed to facilitate the process of total ad-
justment to college and to guide the student's thinking in reference to the social forces
that affect him daily.
College Testing Program
Savannah State College is a national testing center. Several tests are required
at the college and some are optional.
The Scholarship Aptitude Test (SAT) is required of all students who expect to
enroll at the institution. Entrants scoring less than 750 on the SAT are required to
sit for the Basic Skills Examination (BSE). The BSE is a placement test for Reading,
English, and Mathematics. The results determine whether the student enters as a
freshman or as a Special Studies (remedial) student.
The Regents Language Skills Examination is required after completing 45 quarter
hours (including English 107, 108, and 109) and before completing 75 quarter hours.
Passing this examination determines whether a student may routinely pursue his
degree.
There are routine classroom examinations and the Office of Testing provides in-
terest, aptitude, personality, and vocational instruments for counseling purposes. Exit
examinations are required in some areas.
Other tests administered at the college are:
Graduate Management Admissions Test (GMAT), Law School Admission Test
(LSAT), Graduate Record Examination (GRE), Scholarship Aptitude Test (SAT),
National Teacher Examination (NTE), College Level Examination Program (CLEP),
and Miller Analogies Test (MAT).
Health Services
The college health services are maintained to improve and safeguard the health
of students. These services are under the direct supervision of the school physician
and school nurse. Medical examinations, medical care, and health consultations are
provided for all students. Harris Infirmary, a modern, eighteen-bed building, is pro-
vided for students who require treatment or confinement for minor illness.
Students who are too ill to attend class must report to the Health Service or ob-
tain the services of a private physician. Under no circumstances will students be per-
mitted to remain in the college residence halls. Any illness in the residence halls should
be reported to the Health Service immediately.
68
Armstrong State College students who are in residence halls on the Savannah
State College campus are required to pay the health fee.
Each student is urged to take our hospital insurance at the Comptroller's Office
so as to be covered in case of emergencies or the need for hosptial treatment. The
escalating high cost of hospital and emergency room fees makes this almost mandatory.
Each student is directly responsible for his hospital or emergency room fees. The col-
lege health fee does not include these services.
Employees will be treated at the Infirmary for emergencies only.
Policy on Drugs and Weapons
The possession or use (without valid medical or dental prescription), manufacture,
furnishing, or sale of any narcotic or dangerous drug controlled by federal or Georgia
law is prohibited. Violators are subject to arrest and prosecution by College and/or
local, state, and federal courts. It is against College rules and regulations for any stu-
dent to possess weapons such as knives, guns, blackjacks, etc. Persons found in posses-
sion of weapons will be subject to disciplinary action by the College and/or local courts.
Religious Life
Savannah State Colelge puts great emphasis upon a rich and varied religious life
program. Through its religious activities, the College seeks to develop an understand-
ing of and an appreciation for the place of religion in everyday living, to deepen spiritual
insight, and to make the practice of religious principles a vital part of the life of the
well educated citizen.
Student Financial Aid
Savannah State College offers aid to students who demonstrate financial need.
However, financing an education should be a combined effort on the part of the parents,
students, State and Federal Government and the College. The College administers
limited scholarships, grants-in-aid, loans, and work opportunities, awarded largely on
the basis of need, scholarship, character and general promise. Preference is given to
students who use their time wisely in scholastic and extra-curricular pursuits.
Students who have not completed their applications for financial aid prior to
registration for any given quarter will not be eligible for consideration for financial
assistance until all materials have been processed and need for financial assistance
determined. The deadline for submitting all financial aid forms for any given Fall
Quarter is August 18th. All college work-study students are required to have a
cumulative average of 2.00 to remain on campus college work-study. Those students
who fail to do so and are on probation will have to support their own education or
pay their own fees for one quarter until their grade point average is raised to 2.00.
Application for student Financial Aid should be made through the Office of the
Director of Financial Aid.
College Placement Service
The College Placement Service assists all students and graduates of Savannah
State College. For the graduates the College Placement Service helps in finding full-
time and permanent employment. Regular students are assisted in finding part-time
employment for summer months. This office attempts to maintain contact with all
agencies which will benefit the students of Savannah State College. The Office of Place-
ment is located in King-Frazier Complex, Room 225.
69

sionalized business setting with four (4) quarters of academic study on campus. The
co-op student does this during his/her sophomore and junior years and spends the
entire freshman and senior years on campus.

Basically, the first two years are common to all majors in the School of
Business, as well as the 43 additional hours in the Basic Business Core which are a
part of the Junior and Senior requirements. Students actually begin work on their
major requirements in the Junior year, after completing the Common Body of
Knowledge Business Core (Area IV). These courses provide the tools for further
study in business.
It should be remembered that 100 level courses are designed for the Freshman
level; 200 level courses are designed for the Sophomore level; and 300 and 400 level
courses are for the Junior and Senior years. It should be understood that the higher
level numbers are designed to be based on the completion of the lower number
courses, and every effort should be made to schedule courses in this order. Specifi-
cally, courses in Areas I, II, and III should be taken before attempting Area IV
courses and all Area IV courses should be taken prior to scheduling junior and
senior course work.

cant's ability to successfully complete the graduate program must be
submitted.
5. A $10 application fee is required of all students, except graduates of Savan-
nah State College.
90

ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS
All applicants for admission to the MBA Program are required to take the
Graduate Management Admissions Test (GMAT). This test is administered at
Savannah State College and at other testing centers once each quarter. The test is
designed to measure aptitude for graduate study in business and is not a measure
of knowledge in specific subjects. Therefore, applicants should not delay taking
this examination simply because they have not had specific course work in busi-
ness. The information bulletin describing the test is available from the MBA
Coordinator's Office.
CATEGORIES OF ADMISSION
Regular Admission
(A Degree Status Classification)
Definition
Regular Admission means that a student has met all admission requirements
and is admitted to a degree program with full graduate status.
Requirements
To qualify for admission to full graduate status in the MBA Program, appli-
cants must show competence in the common business core of knowledge, which
requires a basic understanding of accounting, economics, finance, management,
marketing, and statistics. Students who have received a bachelor's degree in
business generally have fulfilled this requirement, but students with degrees in
other disciplines will need preparatory work in these areas before beginning MBA
course work. The preparatory requirements may be met by satisfactory completion
of not less than one course (equivalent to 5 quarter hours or 3 semester hours) in
each of the following areas:
Accounting (Principles, Managerial, or Cost)
Economics (Micro or Macro Principles)
Finance (Business, Corporate, or Managerial)
Management (Principles)
Marketing (Principles)
Statistics (Elements of)
Normally, 30 hours of preparatory work will be the maximum required, but
students should recognize that one course in accounting and one course in econom-
ics will provide only a minimum level of preparation for graduate course work.
Depending upon individual student interest and need, further preparation in
business principles courses may be advisable.
These preparatory requirements may be satisfied by taking appropriate
undergraduate level courses, by correspondence, or by scoring not less than the
fiftieth percentile on the appropriate subject examination(s) of the College Level
Examination Program (CLEP). The CLEP examinations are available through
the testing services of the College.
91
In addition to appropriate preparatory work, regular admission status
requires that the student's GMAT score be equal to, or greater than, that computed
from the following formula:
GMAT = 700 - 100 (GPA)
with the further stipulation that the GPA must be at least 2.5 and the GMAT at
least 425.
PROVISIONAL ADMISSION
(A Degree Status Classification)
Definition
Provisional Admission means that a student has applied for admission to a
degree program and has some condition affecting his/her status, such as prepara-
tory course work, low grade point average, or GMAT scores. The student is admit-
ted to a degree program but must meet certain conditions before achieving full
graduate status (i.e., Regular Admission).
Requirements
Provisional Admission may be given to a limited number of applicants (no
more than 20%) who fail to meet the admission standards for Regular Admission
but, nevertheless, present evidence of a reasonable prospect of success in the
Program.
In addition to appropriate preparatory work, provisional admission status
requires that the student's GMAT score be equal to, or greater than, that computed
from the following formula:
GMAT = 645 - 100 (GPA)
with the further stipulation that the GPA must be at least 2.2, and the GMAT must
be at least 375.
Upon completion of 25 hours of graduate course work with a "B" average, the
student's Provisional Admission status will be changed to Regular Admission,
providing all other requirements for Regular Admission have been satisified.
Failure to maintain a "B" average in the first 25 hours of graduate work will result
in the applicant's being dropped as a degree-seeking student.
POSTBACCALAUREATE AND
POSTGRADUATE ADMISSION
(Special Admission Nondegree or Pre-MBA Status)
Definition
Postbaccalaureate or Postgraduate Admission is provided for students who
may not wish to pursue a graduate degree or have applied for admission to the
MBA Program but have not met provisional requirements; i.e., GMAT scores,
transcripts, letters of recommendation, and prerequisites.
Requirements
Requirements for Postbaccalaureate Admission include documentary evi-
dence of a baccalaureate degree and submission of necessary application papers.
92
The student may also have to meet prescribed prerequisites to enroll in specific
courses. Postgraduate Admission requirements are the same except that a gradu-
ate degree is required.
No more than 10 hours earned as a Postgraduate or Postbaccalaureate student
may be applied toward an MBA degree.
A student admitted on nondegree status who wishes to be advanced to a degree
status category of admission bears the responsibility for:
1. meeting all requirements for degree status which are in effect at the time
the student submits the required data and documents for degree status;
2. notifying the MBA Coordinator in writing of the intent and desire to
advance to degree status.
Action by the Coordinator to advance a nondegree student to a degree status
category is contingent on the student meeting the above responsibilities, and the
student is cautioned to maintain a careful check on his or her status.
Stipulations and problems related to the pursuit of graduate study in the
business administration courses are such that students should meet those condi-
tions identified above under either the Regular or the Provisional Admisson
categories in order to enroll in any 600-level MBA courses. Therefore, Postbacca-
laureate or Postgraduate Admission offers little or no opportunity for graduate
study in business administration and is granted to MBA students primarily to
identify applicants who have not yet submitted a satisfactory GMAT score, a
satisfactory GPA, or have not completed the preparatory courses.
TRANSIENT STUDENT
(Special Nondegree Status)
Transient students must arrange to have written authorization sent to the
Dean from their dean, department head, or registrar at the graduate school in
which they are enrolled in order to be accepted as a transient student and register
in the MBA Program. They must also submit the application for admission and
the $10 fee as described in Admission Procedures. If they wish to become degree-
seeking students, they must request appropriate admission in writing and must
submit the necessary documents.
READMISSION
Any student in the Graduate Program who did not register during the quarter
immediately preceding the quarter he/she intends to reenroll must process a
readmission form with the Registrar's Office. The only students exempted from
this requirement are those who are initially admitted for graduate study.
STUDENT RESPONSIBILITY
The student is charged with the responsibility for taking the initiative in
meeting all academic requirements and in maintaining a careful check on his/her
progress toward earning a degree. The student is responsible for discharging
his/her obligations to the business office and the library. Further, the student is
responsible for adhering to the rules and regulations pertaining to graduate stu-
dents in particular and to all students enrolled in a unit of the University System of
Georgia.
93
TRANSFER OF GRADUATE CREDITS
A maximum of 25 percent (15 quarter hours) of graduate credit may be trans-
ferred from another institution, provided:
1 . each course equates with a course in the curriculum of the MBA Program or
is an acceptable elective;
2. the credit was earned in an accredited graduate program;
3. a grade of "B" or better was earned in each course;
4. the credit was earned no more than six years prior to completion of all
degree requirements.
PROCEDURES FOR PROCESSING
TRANSFER CREDITS
Requests by students to receive transfer graduate credit must be supported by
two copies of the graduate transcript showing the transfer credits requested. The
formal and final request for receiving transfer credits is part of the Application for
Candidacy which the student must process upon the completion of 25 hours of
graduate work. This application is obtained in the MBA Coordinator's Office.
Advisement on transfer of credits is routinely provided on the Program of
Study form which every degree-seeking student (regular or provisional status)
must complete with an adviser in the first quarter of enrollment. Formal approval
of transfer credits is granted via the student's Application for Candidacy which
requires approval by the student's adviser and the MBA Coordinator.
94
ACADEMIC STANDARDS
MBA students must maintain a grade point average of 3.0 or above for all
graduate work.
The following criteria apply to all degree categories: (1) Grades of lower than
"C" will not receive graduate credit; (2) a maximum of two "C's" may be applied to
the degree; (3) a student receiving two "C's" or one "F" shall have his/her record
reviewed by the MBA Coordinator and the Graduate Council to determine if the
student is to be permitted to remain in a degree-status category; (4) a student
receiving two "F's" or any three grades below "B" becomes ineligible for a gradu-
ate degree.
Additional standards pertaining to specific degree categories are as follows:
(1) any student who is admitted to Provisional Admission status and who does not
achieve a 3.0 average or better upon completion of 25 hours of 600-level courses
shall be dropped as a degree student and be placed on nondegree status; (2) any
Regular Admission student who has less than a 3.0 average after completing 25 or
more hours shall be required to achieve grades of "B" or better in all courses in
order to achieve a 3.0 average to return to regular admission; (3) any student on
"Regular Admission-Probation status" who earns less than a "B" in any course or
who accumulates 75 hours while still on this status shall be dropped as a degree
student and shall be placed on nondegree status.
COURSE LOAD LIMITATION
A full-time graduate student is expected to carry no more than 15 hours per
quarter. The course load for the fully employed student should be appropriately
reduced in consultation with his/her adviser. A student on academic probation or
on Provisional Admission status should carefully plan his/her course load in
consultation with the adviser.
WITHDRAWAL, DROPPING, AND ADDING COURSES
Withdrawal is, in the technical sense, dropping all courses and processing a
formal withdrawal through the Office of the MBA Coordinator which issues a
withdrawal form. A student may withdraw from school at any time during the
quarter. Only by formally withdrawing, however, can a student become eligible for
the refund of fees as explained in the College Catalog. The student bears the
responsibility of contacting the Coordinator's Office to officially drop a course and
obtain the signature of his/her professor. Course withdrawals before midterm are
recorded as "W"; any course withdrawals after midterm are "F."
Adding a course may be accomplished through the Registrar's Office which
will process a drop/add slip. Courses may be added only during the late registra-
tion days at the beginning of the quarter and not at any other time during the
quarter. The student must pay the appropriate fee for the additional course, unless
a course comparable in credit hours is being dropped simultaneously.
ADVISEMENT
Upon admission to the graduate program, each student will be assigned a
faculty adviser. The faculty adviser will approve the scheduling of course work,
recommend the student for candidacy, and serve as chairman of the student's
comprehensive examination committee.
95

has attained a "B" average in 25 hours of graduate course work and has met all
regular admission requirements including:
1 . an acceptable score on the Graduate Management Admission test;
2. completion of all undergraduate prerequisite courses; and
3. removal of provisional admission status, when applicable.
COMPREHENSIVE EXAMINATION
A final comprehensive examination, to be scheduled in a student's final
quarter and at least two weeks prior to graduation, is required of all candidates for
the Degree of Master of Business Administration. The final examination will be
conducted by a committee consisting of the student's faculty adviser as chairman
and other members of the graduate faculty appointed by the MBA Coordinator.
The date, time, and place of the examination will be set by the Coordinator after
consultation with the faculty adviser and the student.
The Coordinator shall notify the student, the Committee members, and the
Dean ten days prior to the examination concerning the proposed place, date, and
time of the examination.
The candidate is expected to demonstrate a thorough understanding of the
common core of knowledge in business, economics, and statistics, ant adequate
competency to discuss advanced material in those areas in which he/she has had
graduate work.
96
The examining committee's decision on the candidate's performance on the
comprehensive examination shall be reported as passing with distinction, pass,
low pass, or failure to the Dean. Should the decision be reported as failure, the
committee will outline a program of corrective action to be taken by the candidate
prior to his/her reexamination.

(B.F.A., University of Miami); Frank Tremaine (B. A. Stanford University);
and William A. Wood (A. B. Stanford) were employed as part-time instructors in
mass communications, 1982-83. These persons are nationally recognized media
experts.
The Department of Humanities and Fine Arts offers courses leading to the
baccalaureate degree in three areas: English language and literature, mass com-
munications, and music. Minor programs in English, mass communications,
music, religious and philosophical studies, French, German, Spanish, and art are
available. The Department promotes an extensive, interdisciplinary approach
that encourages investigations in cognate areas and allows for individualization
of interests and pursuits.
In a world of rapidly increasing technological sophistication, the urgent
issues confronting individuals and societies are issues of human values and the
relationships between what human beings can do and what they ought, or ought
not, to do. The ultimate aim of the Department of Humanities and Fine Arts is to
develop in each student an awareness and appreciation of his/her personal iden-
tity and social heritage. Such awareness and appreciation should cultivate in the
student a quality of mind marked by analytical, constructive, imaginative, and
creative inquiry and thought. To foster the development of such intellectual and
humane capabilities, the Department helps the student by promoting: (1) oral and
written proficiency in English, including an appreciation for linguistic plurality;
(2) critical knowledge and consequent appreciation of the literary, performing, and
visual arts; (3) affective, aesthetic, and intellectual flexibility; (4) analytical
awareness of language uses in varied settings; (5) advocacy of humane spirit and
values; and a spirit of cooperation with community persons and groups working
toward similar humanistic and social goals.
The Department of Humanities and Fine Arts provides opportunities for the
study and analysis of language, literature, art, music, mass media, philosophy,
and religion. These studies and analyses are intended to motivate the student to
acquire a more profound understanding and appreciation of the humane spirit, to
enliven imagination and inventiveness, to expand aesthetic horizons, and to
probe and cultivate individual and social identity. Additionally, the Department
102
encourages the student to utilize resources and opportunities of the proximate
urban area as well as to share with it his interests, talents, and achievement.
The student engaging in these activities and accomplishing these purposes may
be expected to become an intellectually aware, sensitive, flexible, effective citizen,
equipped to contribute to society through the maintenance of humane perspectives
and values.

DEPARTMENT OF MILITARY SCIENCE
(ROTC)
CAPTAIN ARNET J. WHORLEY
Captain James Merridith Master Sergeant Tommy Cooper
Staff Sergeant Steven Malone Ms. Annie Owens, Secretary
General
The Department of Military Science is a Senior Division Reserve Officer
Training Corps (ROTC), Instructor Group, staffed by Active Army Personnel. The
department provides a curriculum available to Savannah State that qualifies the
college graduate for a commission as an officer in the U.S. Army, United States
Army Reserve, or the United States Army National Guard. Qualifying for a
commission adds an extra dimension to the student's employment capability in
that, upon graduation from college, the student has either military or civilian
employment option. Enrollment is open to male or female students of Savannah
State.
The Reserve Officer Training Corps program is designed to develop leadership
qualities and to give students an understanding of the Armed Forces and how they
support the national policies and interest of the United States. In particular,
ROTC programs are charged with the mission of commissioning second lieuten-
ants who have the qualities, attributes and educational credentials essential for
service as junior officers in the Army.
Department of Military Science
The course of study offered in military science is designed not only to prepare
both the male and female student for service as a commissioned officer in the
United States Army but also to provide him with knowledge and practical expe-
rience in leadership and management that will be useful in any facet of society.
Male and female students are eligible for enrollment. Each student is provided
with a working knowledge of the organization and functioning of the Department
of Defense and the role of the U.S. Army in the national security and world affairs.
The course of study pursued by students during their freshman and sopho-
more years is the basic military science course and/or related skill activities. The
course of study normally pursued by students during their junior and senior years
is the advanced military science course.
For selection and retention in the advanced course, a student must be physi-
cally qualified, should have maintained above average military and academic
standing, and must demonstrate a potential for further leadership development.
Graduates of the advanced course are commissioned second lieutenants in the
United States Army Reserve in the branch of service most appropriate to their
interests and academic achievements, consistent with the needs of the Army. The
branches of the Army include not only the vital combat arms, but such supporting
technical fields as signal, ordnance, transportation, finance, legal, engineering,
chemical and medical. Regardless of the branch selected, all officers will receive
valuable experience in management, logistics and administration. Advanced
course graduates will be commissioned and either called to active duty after
240
graduation to serve for a period of three to six months or three years depending on
the prevailing military requirements and circumstances. Graduates may be
granted a delay in reporting for active duty for graduate study. A small number of
outstanding students are designated distinguished military graduates and are
offered commissions in the Regular Army each year.
Basic Military Service
Basic military science courses involve six quarters during the freshman and
sophomore years. The student learns the organization and roles of the U.S. Army
and acquires essential background knowledge of customs and traditions, wea-
pons, map reading, tactics and communications. Equally important, these courses
have the objective of developing the student's leadership, self-discipline, integrity
and sense of responsibility.
Placement
Veterans entering the military science programs will receive appropriate
placement credit for their active military service. Students who have completed
military science courses in military preparatory schools or junior colleges may be
given appropriate credit. Students with at least three years of high school ROTC
may also be granted placement credit. Placement credit or six quarters of basic
military science, or the equivalent thereof, is a prerequisite to admission into the
advanced program.
Advanced Military Science
The general objective of this course of instruction is to produce junior officers
who by education, training, attitude and inherent qualities are suitable for con-
tinued development as officers in the Army. There are two avenues available for
the student to be eligible for entry into the advanced program and obtain a
commission as a second lieutenant:
(a) satisfactory completion of, or placement credit for, the basic program at
Savannah State or at any other school, college or university offering basic
ROTC and meeting the entrance and retention requirements established
by the Army.
(b) be an active duty veteran or junior ROTC cadet graduate eligible for
placement credit.
Alternate Programs for Admittance to
Advanced Military Science
Students with two years of coursework remaining, but who have not com-
pleted basic military science, are eligible to be considered for selection into the
advanced military science program. Those selected under the provisions of the
two-year advanced program must satisfactorily complete a basic summer camp of
six weeks duration prior to entering the advanced program or must enroll in the
condensed summer school phase of the basic course. This latter program consists
of six, two-hour courses given during the summer quarter. A student may take
other courses during this session. Upon successful completion of the military
science courses, they will be placed in the advanced course. Students attending the
basic camp at Fort Knox, Kentucky, are paid at active army rates and given a
travel allowance from their home to camp and return.
241
Advanced Summer Camp
Students contracting to pursue the advanced courses are required to attend
advanced summer camp, normally between their junior and senior academic years
at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. Students attending this camp are paid at active
army rates and given travel allowance from their home to camp and return.
Financial Assistance
All advanced cadets are paid a subsistence allowance of $100 per month while
enrolled in the advanced course.
Scholarship Program
Each year the U.S. Army awards one-, two- and three-year scholarships to
outstanding young men and women participating in the Army ROTC program
who desire careers as regular Army officers. The Army pays tuition, fees, books
and laboratory expenses incurred by the scholarship student and, in addition,
each student receives $100 per month for the academic year. Individuals desiring
to compete for these scholarships should apply to the professor of military science
at Savannah State.
Army ROTC Uniforms, Books and Supplies
Students enrolling in the Army ROTC program will be issued U.S. Army
uniforms, books and supplies by the Military Science Department. No fees or
deposits of any kind will be required. Uniforms must be returned before commis-
sioning or upon disenrollment from the ROTC program.
Army ROTC Courses (MIL)
The basic course of six quarters duration consists of one hour of classroom
work and one hour of leadership laboratory per week. In the classroom, the student
acquires knowledge of military organization, weapons, tactics, basic military

PROGRAM MISSION
Pursuant to the Board of Regents mandate to provide higher educational
opportunities for students who would not ordinarily be admitted to college, and
supported by ninety years of commitment by Savannah State College to equal
educational opportunity, the Developmental Studies Program provides instruc-
tion in English, reading, mathematics, tutorial learning lab and counseling sup-
port for students who demonstrate deficiencies in the aforementioned areas.
ADMISSION
Entering Freshmen whose Scholastic Aptitude Test scores are less than 750
must sit for the system-wide Basic Skills Exam in English, reading and math.
College-wide cut off scores on the aforementioned tests in conjunction with other
standard and locally constructed instruments are utilized to determine exemption
from and placement into Developmental Studies courses. Basic Skills Examina-
tion cut off scores for exemption and exit for 1982-83 are: English = 63, Math =
63, Reading = 63.
Students with High School grade point averages (GPA) of 1 .8 or less, Scholas-
tic Aptitude verbal test scores of 250 and less and Scholastic Aptitude quantitative
score of 280 and less will be denied admission.
PLACEMENT AND DIAGNOSIS
In addition to the Basic Skills Exams and other standardized diagnostic
instruments, students are administered a battery of other placement exams to
determine their level of needed instructional development. Based on these assess-
ments, a student may be placed in 097, 098, or 099.
CREDIT HOUR LIMITATIONS
Students enrolled in Developmental Studies for a third or fourth quarter will
be allowed to enroll in only Developmental Studies courses.
GRADING POLICY
1. A grade of A indicates excellence in grasping the Basic Skills and shows
that a student could perform well in regular college courses.
2. A grade of B indicates above average performance in Developmental Stud-
ies classes and probable success in regular classes.
245
3. A grade of C indicates that a student has completed all the required work,
and has achieved the minimum academic standards necessary to perform
successfully in the next level course. A grade of C in a 99 level course only
indicates total exit from the program.
4. A grade of D indicates that a student has not completed all the work and
may be in need of additional counseling, study groups and/or tutoring. The
course must be repeated.
5. A grade of F in the first quarter indicates that a student has not completed
the required work and may need additional counseling, study groups,
and/or tutoring. The course must be repeated.
6. A grade of F in two consecutive quarters indicates that a student has not
completed the required work and probably will be dismissed from the
Program.
EXIT POLICY
Students are given three quarters to successfully complete their Developmen-
tal Studies requirements. A fourth quarter may be provided at the discretion of the
Director upon receipt of instructor's recommendation.
All Developmental Studies students must continue academic advisement with
the Program until all Developmental Studies course work is completed and official
transfer initiated.
DESCRIPTION OF COURSES

246
ENG 098. English Fundamentals II. (5-0-5)
A Diction course emphasizing writing, reading, listening and speaking skills is
crucial to the development and success of students' proficiency in English. Stu-
dents have demonstrated a lack of information concerning issues and events, and
a knowledge of how to synthesize knowledge into their writing. Furthermore, they
have demonstrated that they write as they speak; therefore, it is necessary to go to
the source of many of the students' writing problems their speech.
English 098 offers instruction in Diction. It stresses reading, writing, listening
and speaking skills. Additionally, it is a laboratory-oriented course that provides
learning opportunities in and out of the classroom. English 098 is designed for the
097 students who score 63 on the Basic Skills Exam and pass the single paragraph
writing sample. It is also designed for entering students who score 60-63 on the
Basic Skills Exam and achieve a 098 placement based on writing samples submit-
ted to the instructors of Developmental English This course primarily utilizes
audio-software material. Students who maintain a 'B" average will be eligible to
take the multiparagraph writing sample to exempt 099. Students who maintain a
"C" average will be recommended for ENG 099. Students who fall below this level
will re-enroll in ENG 098. All quarters. Institutional credit only.
ENG 099. English Fundamentals III. (5-0-5)
English 099 is a basic writing course that emphasizes the multiparagraph theme.
Students who score 63 or above on the Basic Skills Exam but who achieve a 99
placement on the writing sample are placed in this exit level course. Students who
complete 097 and 098 and demonstrate the need for further instruction in writing
skills may enroll in ENG 099. In addition to a minimum number of multipara-
graph themes, students must complete laboratory and classroom assignments.
For exit, students must pass the multiparagraph theme. All quarters. Institutional
credit only.
