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. Appointment 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 University 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 insti-
tution are determined, pursuant to policies to the Board of Regents, by the institu-
tion. The Board establishes minimum academic standards and leaves to each
institution the prerogative to establish higher standards. Applications for admis-
sion 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 universities, senior colleges, and junior colleges. This Curriculum requires
90 quarter-credit-hours, including 60 in general education humanities, mathe-
matics 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 University 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 consorti-
ums.
17
RESEARCH encompasses investigations conducted primarily for discovery
and application of knowledge. These investigations include clearly defined proj-
ects in some cases, non-programmatic activities in other cases. They are conducted
on campuses and at many off-campus locations.
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 allo-
cated by the Board of Instruction. The percentages of funds derived from all
sources for Instruction in the 1980-81 fiscal year were: 77 percent from state
appropriations, 20 percent 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 following
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 degree 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 program
was reorganized. The high school and normal departments were discontinued 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, public relations, a reading clinic, and an audio visual aids laboratory
were instituted under the leadership of President Colston.
21
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 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. Meyers 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 this 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 (NC ATE). The three
engineering technology programs civil, electronics, and mechanical were
accredited by the Engineers' Council for Professional Developments in 1973.
President 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
aspirations 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 Department
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
22
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 administration 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 occupied 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 1932 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
23
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.
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.

dinator of that office is Ms. Karen Penick (Room 111, Wright Hall), who will assist
international students in their needs and interests on campus and within the
33
community. The Foreign Students' Advisor is Dr. K. B. Raut (Room 231, Griffith-
Drew Hall) and he will assist with problems concerning immigration require-
ments and admissions procedures. There is also an International Student Associ-
ation and an International Soccer Team.
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 mil-
itary 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 recom-
mended by the Commission on Accreditation of Service Experiences of the Ameri-
can 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
Counseling Offices of the College.
REGENT'S STATEMENT OF DISRUPTIVE
BEHAVIOR
The following is the policy of the Board of Regents regarding disruptive behav-
ior in any institution of the University System. The rights, responsibilities and
prohibitions 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 statement 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.
34
In recent years a new and serious problem has appeared on many college
campuses in the nation. Some students, faculty members, and others have on
occasion engaged in demonstrations, sit-ins, and other activities that have clearly
and deliberately interfered with the regular orderly operation of the institution
concerned. Typically, these actions have been the physical occupation of a build-
ing or campus area for a protracted period of time or the use of verbal or written
obscenities involving indecent or disorderly conduct.
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 directions of institutional officials to disperse have been clearly ignored.
Such activities thus have become clearly recognizable as an action of force, operat-
ing outside all established channels on the campus, including that of intellectual
debate and persuasion which are at the heart of education.
The Board of Regents is deeply concerned by this new problem. Under the
Constitution 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 institu-
tions. 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
university 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,
administrator, or employee, acting individually or in concert with others, who
clearly obstructs or disrupts, or attempts to obstruct or disrupt any teaching,
research, administrative, 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 considered 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
community 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 Com-
mittee of the Association for Higher Education in March, 1968, condemning
actions taken to disrupt the operations of institutions of higher education.
35
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 and the dean of the school.
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
B
C
D
F
WF
Excellent
Good
Average
Poor
Failure
Withdrew, failing
4 per credit hour
3 per credit hour
2 per credit hour
1 per credit hour
per credit hour
per credit hour
The grade "F" indicates that the student has failed to meet the minimum
requirements of the course.
All courses in the major, minor, professional education 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 with-
draw without penalty. Withdrawals without penalty will not be permitted after the
midpoint of the total grading period (including final examinations), except in
cases of hardship as determined by the Academic Vice-President.
36
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 department head, 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.
37
REPORTING OF GRADES
At Mid-quarter, and at the end of the quarter each faculty member submits to the
Office of Admissions and Records the Grade Reports for each of his classes. These
Reports are prepared in multiple copies, with copies for the Director of Admissions
and Records, the Academic Vice-President, the Department head, and the Instruc-
tor. 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 Admissions and Records 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 Office of Admissions and Records it can be
changed only under the following conditions:
1. Upon presentation to the Dean of the School of conclusive, 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 recommendation
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 recommendation that the
grade be changed or if he reverses a recommendation that a grade not be changed,
he directs the Director of Admissions and Records 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.
38
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; (iii) 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, inititative, 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 his 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 Atmosphere Administration (NOAA) and the National
Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). Many of these organiza-
tions can also provide research facilities and supervision of undergraduate
theses.
39
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 con vocation(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 conventions.
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 freshman and
transfer students through the achievement of appropriate scores on exami-
nations 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 exemption examina-
tions 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 freshman status. Another early admissions programs 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.
40
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 freshman 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 aca-
demic record.
Sophomore Honors
Sophomore honors will be conferred upon a student who has completed a min-
imum 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 designation 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
41
and may receive honors credit for such courses. Each honors candidate
will be assigned a special advisor. It will be the responsibility of the advisor
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 toward 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
42
honors and an honors degree, (ii) Distinction in the major (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 ci-
tation, (v) Institutional honors to those students earning honors certifica-
tion in major and non-major areas. (A minimum grade point average of 3.0
will also be required.)

RECOGNITION OF EXCELLENCE IN
SCHOLARSHIP
Persons who have not been subject to disciplinary action while earning superior
grades, and who likewise, have not incurred any academic deficiencies, are eligible
for honors status as here indicated:
1 . Students who maintain an average of B in not less than a normal load during
a given quarter are eligible for listing on the Honor Roll.
2. Students who maintain an average of 3.50 or higher, in a full program in a
quarter will have their names placed on the Dean's list for that quarter.
3. Students who maintain an average of 3.00 during any quarter may secure
permission to take additional hours during the following quarter, the total
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
43
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
46-90 1.7
90-120 1.9
121 and above 2.0
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 proba-
tionary 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 proba-
tionary 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.
44
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 previously 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.
STUDENT ACADEMIC GRIEVANCE
APPELLATE PROCEDURES
(Disciplinary)
A. Original Jurisdiction:
1. Initial and Original Jurisdiction All student grievances of an academic

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 circumstances require
his withdrawal from the college may do so by filing the appropriate forms in the
office of the Vice-President for Student Affairs. The Vice-President for Student
Affairs, counselors, and advisers 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 Vice-President for Business and Finance.
Students not able to follow this procedure should write or have a representative
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.
COASTAL GEORGIA CENTER FOR
CONTINUING EDUCATION
The Coastal Georgia Center for Continuing Education 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 305 West Broad Street, the Dean of the Coastal
Georgia Center for Continuing Education operates a unified Continuing Educa-
tion program dedicated to serving the people of Savannah, Chatham County, the
State of Georgia and, for some programs, beyond those boundaries.
46
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,
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

REGENTS' TESTING PROGRAM
The policy of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia requires
that each institution administer an examination to assess the competency level in
reading and writing of all students enrolled in undergraduate degree programs in
University System institutions. The Regents' Policy statement appears below:
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 attain-
ment of this goal. The objectives of the Testing Program are: (1) to
56
provide System wide 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.
Passing the Regents' Testing is defined as having passed all components
of the Test by scoring above the cutoff score specified for each compo-
nent. The test may be administered either in its entirety or as one or more
components depending on the needs of the students. If one component of
the Test is passed, that component need not be retaken; this provision is
retroactive to all students who have taken the Test in any form since the
inception of the program.
The intent of this policy is that passing the Regent's Test occur before the
end of the student's sophomore year, that is, before the completion of 105
hours of degree credit. Students who fail the test must retake and pass the
Test. Each institution shall provide an appropriate program of remedia-
tion and shall require deficient students to participate in that program
prior to retaking the test.
INSTITUTIONAL POLICIES REGARDING
THE REGENTS' TESTING PROGRAM
All students enrolled in undergraduate degree programs are required to pass the
Regents' Examination in reading and writing prior to graduation.
REQUIREMENTS
1. Students who have earned forty-five (45) credit hours and passed English 107
and 108 are REQUIRED to take Regents' Examination during the next
quarter of enrollment after having earned forty-five credit hours.
2. Students who have earned sixty (60) credit hours (regardless of the English
courses passed) are REQUIRED to take Regents' Examination during the
next quarter of enrollment after having earned sixty credit hours.
3. First time examinees must take both parts of the Examination in one
administration.
4. First time examinees are required to sit for the Regents' Testing Program
"Test Preparation Seminar" prior to taking the Examination. This seminar
is jointly sponsored by the staff of the Comprehensive Counseling Center and
the Vice-President for Academic Affairs. A student may be excused from this
seminar only by the Dean of the School in which the student is enrolled.
5. Students who fail to sit for the Examination as required under numbers 1 and
2 above will be suspended.
6. Students who pass both parts of the Examination in one administration or in
separate administrations will be considered to have met the Regents' Exami-
nation requirements.
7. Those students who, prior to January 1, 1980, failed to pass both parts of the
Examination in one administration, but who passed both parts in separate
57
administrations, are now considered to have met the Regents' Examination
requirement. If these students have completed all other graduation require-
ments, their date of graduation (the date which will appear on the diploma)
will be the first institutional graduation date after January 1, 1980.
REMEDIATION FOR REGENTS EXAMINATION
Students who have not passed the Regents' Examination before they earn
seventy-five (75) hours of credit or who fail either part of the examination after
earning seventy-five hours of credit must enroll in English 092 (Writing) or En-
glish 093 (Reading) during the quarter subsequent to earning 75 credit hours or
failing the Examination. Permission will not be given to retake the Examination
unless students complete the remediation courses. Failure to enroll in these
required remediation courses will result in cancellation of a student's registration
for that quarter. Each of these courses carries five hours of institutional credit and
requires that the students successfully complete approximately fifty (50) hours of
classroom and laboratory instruction each quarter. Grades in English 092 and 093
will be "S" (Satisfactory), "IP" (In Progress), or "U" (Unsatisfactory). No other
grade will be given for either course.
Savannah State College students who may be jointly enrolled at other System
schools are required to take their Regents' Examination remedial courses at
Savannah Sate College.
Students who have failed to pass both parts of the Examination must register for
both English 092 and English 093. These courses must not be taken concurrently;
for example, students must take English 092 during the first five weeks of a quarter
and English 093 during the second five weeks of that same quarter. Students
required to take both English 092 and English 093 in a single quarter will not be
permitted to enroll for more than five (5) regular credit quarter hours.
Students who are required to take either English 092 or English 093 will not be
permitted to enroll for more than ten (10) regular credit hours.
Students who have met all other requirements for graduation may register for
both English 092 and 093 concurrently.
Failure to sit for the Examination during the quarter in which remediation is
taken will result in suspension for one quarter. Students who have been suspended
for failure to sit for the Examination when required must re-enroll for remedial
courses during their next quarter of enrollment and they must also sit for the
Examination that quarter. If these students fail to enroll in remediation their
registration will be cancelled.
STUDENT RESPONSIBILITY
Students are responsible for complying with all Institutional policies regarding
the Regents' Testing Program. Failure to comply will result in disciplinary action
ranging from cancellation of registration to suspension, depending upon the
gravity of the situation.
ACADEMIC ADVISING
Academic advisors should verify compliance with this policy before signing-off
on class schedules of their advisees. Accordingly, academic advisors should:
58
1. Require that students with 45 credit hours sit for the Regents' Test upon the
completion of English 107 and 108.
2. Assure that advisees adhere to all policies regarding required sitting and
remediation.
3. Encourage students to register for freshmen English during each quarter of
enrollment until they pass the three required courses.
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 Savan-
nah State College with seventy-five (75) or more earned 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.
GRADUATE STUDENTS
Students with baccalaureate degrees from colleges and universities within the
University of Georgia System or from other, regionally accredited colleges and
universities will be exempt from these Policies.
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.
ESSAY TEST REVIEW POLICY
The Regents' Test itself and the scoring criteria are not subject to review; the
same methods 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 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 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.
59
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 (composed 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) recommend, 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 regulations
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 test. Failure to take the test at the
prescribed time will result in disciplinary action ranging from a reprimand to
suspension.

agency. 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
account (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.
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
completed 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
61
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 nonprofit agency or insured by the Federal Government. The maxi-
mum 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 undergrad-
uate 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 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 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 Educa-
tion has defined "good standing" as the eligibility of a student to continue attend-
ing the institution in accordance with the standards of the institution.
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 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 student'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 students
are defined in the Savannah State Undergraduate Catalog. Students must
meet the standards listed below in order to remain eligible to receive finan-
cial aid:
65
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 GPAin at least 10
hours of work in the initial quarter of probation.
3. As long as students on academic probation continue to make satisfactory
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 academic
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, nor-
mally 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 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.
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 reasons
why he did not achieve minimum academic requirements and why his aid
should not be terminated.
B. The Student Financial Aid Committee will review the appeal and determine
whether or not the suspension was justified. The student will be notified in
writing of the decision.
66
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
faculty 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 important work of Student Affairs.
There is no one best program in comparison to others. Student Affairs is no
better 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 institu-
tion'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
programs. 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 classification. Additional criteria are used for apartment residency. Expec-
tant 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.
The policies of the Board of Regents of the University System of Geor-
gia 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;
67
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 required 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 returned. Students are
expected 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 Vice-President 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.
Freshman Orientation
GED 101. Student Life
This course is designed to expose all freshmen students to a series of group and
individualized experiences that emphasize the processes of goal-setting, self-
assessment, change strategies and evaluation. Through instruction and consulta-
tion, 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 manage-
ment), values clarification and self-concept development, test-taking skills, aca-
demic 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
exemplify 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
services to all prospective and regularly enrolled students at Savannah State
68
College. The services offered include academic, personal, social and career coun-
seling 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
competent 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
student 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 approval of the counselee involved in the given situation.
The staff invites you to visit them to share your experiences, concerns and
impressions 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
appointment. 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.
Orientation
The orientation program is under the supervision of the Comprehensive Coun-
seling 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 stu-
dents 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 adjustment 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 Scholastic 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 Education (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 Developmental Studies (remedial) student.
69
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 rou-
tinely pursue his degree.
There are routine classroom examinations and the Office of Testing provides
interest, aptitude, personality, and vocational instruments for counseling pur-
poses. 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 Pro-
gram (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-McDew Infirmary, a modern, eighteen-bed
building, is provided 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
obtain the services of a private physician. Under no circumstances will students be
permitted to remain in the college residence halls. Any illness in the residence
halls should be reported to the Health Service immediately.
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 Office of Business
and Finance so as to be covered in case of emergencies or the need for hospital
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 college 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), manufac-
ture, 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 student to possess weapons such as knives, guns, blackjacks,
etc. Persons found in possession of weapons will be subject to disciplinary action
by the College and/or local courts.
70
Religious Life
Savannah State College puts great emphasis upon a rich and varied religious
life program. Through its religious activities, the College seeks to develop an
understanding 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 finan-
cial 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 employment for summer months. This office attempts to maintain con-
tact with all agencies which will benefit the students of Savannah State College.
The Office of Placement is located in King-Frazier Complex, Room 225.
Cooperative Education
The goals and objectives of the Department of Cooperative Education go hand in
hand with the over all institutional mission of the college. Specifically, the
department accepts the responsibility to help the college:
1. To significantly increase the number of graduates in the various academic
disciplines.
2. To reorganize the curriculum, and/or redesign the approaches to delivery of
instructional services to effectively meet the assessed needs of students.

provide students with (1) professional training in their major areas of study, (2)
money to help defray college expenses, (3) and general work experience to enhance
a more competitive background upon graduation.
The program allows a student to alternate four (4) academic quarters in a
professionalized business setting with four (4) quarters of academic study on
campus. The co-op student does this during his sophomore and junior years and
spends the entire freshman and senior years on campus.
Further encouragement of the program is evidenced by the college's granting of
five (5) course hours per quarter for co-op participation.
Veterans Services
The Veterans Counselor is responsible for assisting veterans and veteran
dependents in receiving benefits from the Veterans Administration. He collects
and disseminates information to veterans and dependents, and counsels with
them throughout the year about regulations and directives peculiar to their status.
Veterans and dependents are urged to report personally to the Veterans Counsel-
or immediately after their admission to the College and to keep the office informed
of withdrawals, transfers, or graduation status changes.

tion through major problems in Accounting, Economics, Finance and Banking,

ness world. Specifically, through curricular offerings, supervised work experien-

PURPOSE
The philosophical base of the Master of Business Administration Program is an
affirmation of the dignity and worth of the individual. Implicit in this philosophy
is a realization that modern man must be productive, articulate, and proactive.
The Program is dedicated to service through: educational programs, community
involvement, faculty and student research, scholarship, and creativity. By offer-
ing advanced professional training in management and administration, the Pro-
gram prepares individuals for positions of responsibility in business, industry,
government, and education.
ADMISSION PROCEDURES
Admission to the MBA Program at Savannah State College may be completed
through the MBA Coordinator, School of Business, Savannah State College. All
admissions documents should be sent to the MBA Coordinator's Office for process-
ing. The application for admission, a $10 fee, and transcripts must reach the
College 20 days prior to registration.
The following materials and procedures are part of the requirements for admis-
sion to the MBA Program:
1 . The application for admission must be completed and submitted by all appli-
cants 20 days prior to registration.
2. Two official transcripts showing all college credits earned for the undergrad-
uate degree should be sent directly from the college which awarded the degree
to the MBA Coordinator. Official transcripts are required of all applicants
except transient students who may submit a letter of authorization from their
graduate school 20 days prior to registration.
3. Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) scores must be submitted by
all degree-seeking students.
4. Two letters of recommendation from individuals familiar with the appli-
cant's ability to successfully complete the graduate program must be
submitted.

All materials and documents should be submitted as soon as possible, but items
as noted above must arrive at least 20 days prior to the registration date of the
quarter a student enrolls. Action can be taken on application for admission only
after essential materials have been received.
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. A maximum of three attempts for a passing score on the GMATis allowed for
entrance to the MBA at Savannah State College. The Educational Testing Service
(ETS) bulletin describing the testis 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, applicants
must show competence in the common business core of knowledge, which requires
a basic understanding of accounting, economics, finance, management, market-
ing, and statistics. Students who have received a bachelor's degree in business
generally have fulfilled this requirement, but students with degrees in other disci-
plines will need preparatory work in these areas before beginning MBA course
work. The preparatory requirements may be met by satisfactory completion of not
less that 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 under-
graduate level courses, by correspondence, or by scoring not less than the fiftieth
91
percentile on the appropriate subject examination(s) of the College Level Exami-
nation Program (CLEP). The CLEP examinations are available through the test-
ing services of the College.
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 satisfied. Fail-
ure 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, tran-
scripts, letters of recommendation, and prerequisites.
92
Requirements
Requirements for Postbaccalaureate Admission include documentary evidence
of a baccalaureate degree and submission of necessary application papers. The
student may also have to meet prescribed prerequisites to enroll in specific courses.
Postgraduate Admission requirements are the same except that a graduate 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 busi-
ness administration courses are such that students should meet those conditions
identified above under either the Regular or the Provisional Admission categories
in order to enroll in any 600-level MBA courses. Therefore, Postbaccalaureate 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 meet-
ing all academic requirements and in maintaining a careful check on his/her
93
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.
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 oris
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.
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
94
"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.
WITHDRAWING, DROPPING, AND ADDING COURSES
Withdrawing 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 Office of Admissions and
Records which will process a drop/add slip. Courses may be added only during the
late registration days at the beginning of the quarter and not any 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 simultane-
ously.
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.
COURSE REQUIREMENTS
The Master of Business Administration program requires 45 quarter hours of
core requirements and an additional 15 quarter hours of electives from graduate

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, and adequate
competency to discuss advanced material in those areas in which he/she has had
graduate work.
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.

N. B. Alexander Stoddart (B.F.A., University of Miami) and William A. Wood
(A.B., Stanford) are frequently employed as part-time instructors in mass com-
munications. These persons are nationally recognized media experts.
The Department of Humanities offers courses leading to the baccalaureate
degree in two areas: English language and literature and mass communications.
Minor programs in English, mass communications, and religious and philosophi-
cal studies are available. The Department promotes an extensive, interdisciplin-
ary 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 relation-
ships between what human beings can do and what they ought, or ought not, to do.
The ultimate aim of the Department of Humanities is to develop in each student an
awareness and appreciation of his/her personal identity 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 and performing arts; (3) affective,
aesthetic, and intellectual flexibility; (4) analytical awareness of language uses in
varied settings; (5) advocacy of humane spirit and values; and (6) a spirit of
cooperation with community persons and groups working toward similar human-
istic and social goals.
The Department of Humanities provides opportunities for the study and analy-
sis 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 imagi-
nation and inventiveness, to expand aesthetic horizons, and to probe and cultivate
individual and social identity. Additionally, the Department encourages the stu-
dent 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.

Electronics Engineering Technology, Mechanical Engineering Technology and
Process Engineering Technology; and to the degree of Associate of Applied
Science with majors in Chemical Engineering Technology, Civil Technology,
Computer Technology, Drafting and Design Technology, Electronics Technology
and Mechanical Technology. The civil, electronics and mechanical engineering
technology curricula are accredited by the Technology Accreditation Commission
of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology.
The ultimate objective of the Engineering Technology program is to provide
the student with an educational experience that will allow him to succeed as an
engineering technologist. This involves keeping the student interested and provid-
ing opportunity for him to become skillful in his assimilation of information and
techniques. When students leave the institution they are aware of, and have fixed
firmly in their minds, the potential of which they are capable.
Engineering technology embraces the physical sciences, mathematics, and
the practices and materials of modern industry which are utilized in the design
and construction of the machines, structures, highways, power sources, process
systems, communication systems, and products needed to maintain a higly tech-
nical society. The activities of engineering technology are concerned with trans-
lating the concepts and theories of professional engineers and scientists into,
actual devices and products by using tests to provide data for rational solutions
and designs. These tests are followed by interpretations of data and preparation of
appropriate plans for use by skilled craftsmen who produce the devices and/or
products.
Cooperative Education Program
The Cooperative Education Program is available to students of this depart-
ment. The program enables students to gain work experience in industry as paid
employees during their college tenure. The program is coordinated through the
Office of Cooperative Education. The program is available to students who have
acquired at least 46 quarter hours, including at least five courses in the major; have
a satisfactory academic record; and meet the job specifications of the employer.
The GED 101 course should be deleted from the curriculum of Freshmen because,
beginning Fall, 1986, the School of Sciences and Technology will originate a
general education course that will be required of its majors in lieu of GED 100.
197
Students work in industry and attend college during alternate quarters or as
arranged by both parties. To remain in the program, they must maintain credit-
able records at both places. Students must register for the appropriate cooperative
education course each quarter they are employed and must observe all applicable
regulations of the cooperating company.
Students pursuing the coop program should expect their matriculation to
extend beyond four years. The college does not guarantee the availability of coop
stations, duties, or compensation. At the conclusion of the coop experience, stu-
dents are not obligated to accept employment with the cooperating companies and
the companies are not obligated to offer them employment.

cepts and competencies that enhance and stabilize family life as the core of society
and to improve the quality of life within the context of his/her natural and
interpersonal environment. Cognizant of the changing needs of society, the
Department constantly endeavors to reassess values and goals in terms of aca-
demic principles of education. To this end the Department of Home Economics
proposes to:
1. Offer a comprehensive program in Home Economics which provides spe-
cialized related professions and advanced study.
2. Offer courses for the College Community which enable the individual to
meet basic needs and to improve the quality of life.
3. Contribute to the general education of the students by helping him/her
become a responsible, intelligent and informed member of the local,
national and world communities.
4. Help students gain an understanding of selected concepts in the behavioral
and natural sciences relevant to home economics and the interplay of the
social, psychological, and economic forces that influence the wellbeing of
individuals and family.
5. Acquaint students with some of the problems of individuals, families and
groups in providing for the satisfaction of human needs.
6. To Address the educational needs of non-traditional students and special
groups seeking short term training.
General Program
The Department of Home Economics offers professional and technical prepa-
ration for a wide variety of professional careers which, in the past, have not been
recognized as being home economics related or contributing to family welfare and
quality of life of individuals.
The recent expansion of the departmental offering from two baccalaureate
degree programs to five enables the student to select from a broad spectrum of
career preparation curricula. Each of the programs requires that the student
engage in an appropriate field experience related to his/her area of specialization.
A minimum of 196 hours are required in each of the curriculum areas for
graduation. Each student majoring in the Department of Home Economics must
earn a grade of "C" or better in all home economics courses.
*Program in Home Economics will be discontinued after the 1985-86 academic
year.

ened and enriched through required field trips, junior internships and experience
affiliations with selected food service institutions, businesses, social welfare
agencies, child care programs and the textile and merchandising industry.
Since 1950, the Department of Home Economics has supported and directed
the Georgia Student Member Section (GSMS) of the American Home Economics
Association.
Home Economics Scholarships and Awards
In addition to the Savannah State College Financial Aid Program, the
Department of Home Economics offers annual cash scholarships. The Home
Economics Faculty Scholarship is a cash award that is presented to an advanced
student majoring in Home Economics. The Evanel R. Terrel Scholarship, estab-
lished in 1982, is presented to a sophomore student majoring in dietetics. The
Alpha H. Jones Scholarship is awarded to an incoming freshman home economics
major.
GENERAL HOME ECONOMICS
The major in general home economics combines a flexible study program with
appropriate supporting courses which cut across each of the other four major
areas. The major in this program is further strengthened by a field experience
component in a career related business or industry. Students who complete this
program are qualified to serve as Cooperative Extension Agents, as home econo-
mists for Utility companies, teach in non-vocational programs, as consultants for
home building firms and in numerous other businesses and industries.
HOME ECONOMICS CORE CURRICULUM
The Core curriculum in Home Economics consists of a group of courses that
provide basic information that will assist the student in developing skills and

DEPARTMENT OF MILITARY SCIENCE
(ROTC)
CAPTAIN ARNET J. WHORLEY, Head
Captain James Meredith Master Sergeant Joe Johnson
Staff Sergeant Troy McCants Mrs. Raycine McGhee
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
249
course graduates will be commissioned and either called to active duty after
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, 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
250
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.
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
skills, history and customs. In Leadership Laboratory, potential for leadership is
progressively developed.
The advanced course consists of three hours of classroom work and one hour of
leadership laboratory per week for two quarters in the third and fourth years.
During the spring quarter prior to advanced camp the student will enroll in MIL
303 to prepare for attendance at Advanced Camp. This two-hour course is nor-
mally taken during the third year. One quarter of the senior year must include an
elective approved by the Military Science Department. The coursework during the
advanced course emphasizes techniques of management and leadership and the
fundamentals and dynamics of the military team. The leadership laboratory
provides the student with applied leadership experiences.

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 Examination
cutoff scores for exemption and exit effective Fall 1985 are: English =68, Math = 71,
Reading = 68.
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 Developmen-
tal 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 Orientation, must be Developmental Studies
courses.
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 BSE scores (68 in English, 68 in
Reading, 71 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.
254
The following grade standards will be adhered to by students, only in all class
and lab assignments:
A = 91-100
B = 81- 90
C = 75- 80
D = 74- 70
Also, the following grading policy changes:
1 . A grade of P indicates that a student successfully completed the course, has
met all requirements in the subject area, (including, attaining the state-
required score on the BSE for English, math and reading) and is eligible to
take regular credit courses in that subject area.
2. A grade of IP (in progress) indicates that a student is making satisfactory
progress in the subject area course sequence, but is required to enroll in the
next level developmental studies course.
3. A grade of U (unsatisfactory) indicates that a student has less than a 75
average at the end of the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd quarter and must repeat that level
course.
4. A grade of F indicates exclusion, no exit. This means that a student has
unsuccessfully repeated the state-required number of quarters in remedial
courses and must be terminated from the College.
