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.

regular admission. The "conditional admission" status will be continued for those 
students whose scores are unsatisfactory on any one of the BSE components. 
These students will be referred to the Department of Developmental Studies where 
they will be required to follow a course of study especially designed to assist them 
in overcoming any deficiencies in knowledge or skills revealed by the test results. 
They will be granted regular admission status and permitted to take college level 
courses only after they have achieved passing scores on the Basic Skills 
Examination. 



DEVELOPMENTAL STUDIES PROGRAM 

The Developmental Studies program is designed for entering students who have 
demonstrated marked deficiencies in English, Reading, and Mathematics. 

A "Developmental Studies Student" is any student whose score on either of the 
BSE Tests was lower than the passing score given below. Such students must take 
all Developmental Studies courses (courses numbered 99 or below), unless the 
results of their BSE Tests place them in one of the following categories: 

1. Students who pass both the English and Reading tests but fail the Mathemat- 
ics test. These students are only required to take Developmental Studies 
Mathematics; they may enroll in any 100 level course except Mathematics or 
courses having Mathematics as a prerequisite. 

2. Students who pass the Mathematics test but fail either the English or Read- 
ing 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 four quarters in which to demon- 
strate proficiency in those areas in which they were initially deemed deficient. 
Such proficiency may be demonstrated by attaining the score on the BSE Test 
originally established as the passing score (68 in English, 68 in Reading, 71 in 
Mathematics). Students who do not demonstrate such proficency within one year 
will not be permitted to continue matriculation at Savannah State College unless 
special approval has been recommended by the Developmental Studies Depart- 
ment and approved by the Vice President for Academic Affairs. 



TRANSFER STUDENTS 

General policies governing admission of transfer students and acceptance of 
credit toward advanced standing are as follows: 

1 . All regulations applicable to students entering college for the first time shall 
be applicable to students transferring from other colleges, insofar as the 
regulations are pertinent to the applications of transfer students. 



30 



2. A student transferring from another college will supply the Director of 
Admissions and Records with transcripts of his records at colleges previously 
attended. These transcripts must be sent directly from the registrars at the 
previous colleges to the Director of Admissions and Records. The Director of 
Admissions and Records will determine the applicant's academic qualifica- 
tions on the basis of these transcripts. An applicant will not be considered for 
admission unless transcripts of his record show honorable discharge from 
colleges attended. 

3. Transfer applicants who will enter the less than 45 quarter hours must meet 
entrance requirements of both freshman and transfer applicants, and will be 
required to submit their high school records as well as transcripts of previous 
college records. 

4. Transfer applicants must pay a $10.00 non-refundable application fee. 

5. Persons who have earned grades of "C" or higher in courses taken in accred- 
ited colleges and who, in the judgement of the Committee on Admissions, 
have presented otherwise satisfactory credentials may be admitted. 

Those courses that are equivalent to courses offered at Savannah State College 
will be accepted toward advanced standing, provided that a grade of "C" or higher 
was earned. Students transferring from any unit within the University System of 
Georgia will be credited for courses on the same basis as students originally 
enrolled at Savannah State College. 

6. Credit allowed for extension, correspondence, CLEP examination or military 
service schools shall not exceed a total of 45 quarter hours. 

7. A transfer student who has earned excessive credit in freshman and sopho- 
more courses may not be granted credit in excess of 90 quarter hours below the 
junior class level. No more than a total of 135 quarter hours will be acceptable 
as transfer credit. 

8. The college reserves the right to reject any or all credits from other institu- 
tions notwithstanding their accredited status when it determines through 
investigation or otherwise that the quality of instruction at such institutions 
is for any reason deficient or unsatisfactory. The judgement of the college on 
this question shall be final. 

9. The evaluation of transfer credit is given a student upon admission. The 
college reserves the right to disallow transfer credit for courses if the student's 
subsequent grades in required courses in the same subject fall below average. 



TRANSIENT STUDENTS 

A student who has taken work in another college may apply for the privilege of 
temporary registration at Savannah State College. Such a student will ordinarily 
be one who expects to return to the college in which he was previously enrolled. 

The following policies shall govern the admission of students with transient 
status: 

1. The admissions officer of Savannah State College must be furnished evi- 
dence that the institution the student previously attended was an accredited 
or approved institution. 



31 



2. An applicant will be accepted as a transient student only when it appears 
that the applicant's previous academic work is of a satisfactory or superior 
quality. The Director of Admissions and Records shall have the right to 
require the applicant to submit a transcript of his previous college work. 

3. An applicant for admission as a transient student must present a statement 
from the dean or registrar of the institution that he last attended recommend- 
ing his admission as a transient student. A transcript is not normally 
required. 



SPECIAL STUDENTS 

Persons who desire to enroll in a course or courses but who do not intend to 
complete a specific degree or other program may register as special students. A 
total of 45 quarter hours may be taken as special student. Any special student who 
decides subsequently to enroll in a regular college program must then satisfy all of 
the requirements of regular admission. 



READMISSION OF FORMER STUDENTS 

A student who has not been enrolled at Savannah State College for one or more 
quarters must apply for readmission on a form provided by the Admission Office. 
This requirements does not apply to students who do not register for courses 
during the summer quarter. A former student who has not attended another 
college since leaving Savannah State may be readmitted provided he is not on 
suspension at the time he wishes to reenter. A former student who has attended 
another college since leaving Savannah State must meet requirements for read- 
mission as a transfer student or as a transient student, whichever is applicable. A 
student who is readmitted after an absence from the College for more than two 
years must meet degree requirements as listed in the bulletin in effect at the time of 
his return. An additional application fee is not required. 



AUDITORS 

Regularly enrolled students at Savannah State College may be permitted to 
audit courses, provided permission is obtained from the instructor in charge of the 
course and the Dean of the College. A student auditing the course will not be placed 
on the rolls and not report will be made to the Registrar. 

Members of the faculty or staff of Savannah State College may audit courses, 
provided permission is obtained from the department concerned and the Registrar. 



ADMISSION OF INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS 

Savannah State College subscribes to the principles of international education 
and to the basic concept that only through education and understanding can 
mutual respect, appreciation and tolerance of others be accomplished. 

A student from a country other than the United States who is interested in 
attending Savannah State College, should write to the Director of Admissions and 
Records, Savannah State College, Savannah, Georgia 31404, U.S.A. The student 
must meet the following requirements for admission: 



32 



1 . A completed application for admission with a $10 application fee, which must 
be in the form of a money order or a certified check. This application must be 
submitted at least 60 days prior to the beginning of the quarter for which the 
student wishes to be admitted. 

2. Official transcript(s) of academic record mailed to Admissions and Records 
Office with an official translation. 

3. Scholastic Aptitude Test of the College Entrance Examination Board may be 
taken at the testing center nearest the applicant's home. The scores must be 
sent to Savannah State College. 

4. A prospective student must submit evidence of financial ability to pursue his 
education full-time in this country. No financial aid is available for interna- 
tional students. All international students are required to pay out-of-state 
tuition, unless they are under the sponsorship of an approved local organiza- 
tion and it is authorized by the Director of Admissions and Records. 

5. Present TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) scores which dem- 
onstrate proficiency in the English language. English language proficiency 
is necessary to enroll in a full academic course of study which is conducted 
exclusively in English. Although TOEFL scores must indicate a level of 
proficiency required for admission, students may be required to enroll in 
Developmental Studies English. The minimum acceptable TOEFL score of 
500 is required for admission for international students. Those students 
required to take Developmental Studies English will be allowed a maximum 
of three quarters to complete these English courses and attain a satisfactory 
level of English proficiency; students who do not complete the English 
courses and attain proficiency will be ineligible to continue enrollment. 

All students must be prepared to obtain adequate health and accident insurance 
while attending Savannah State College. Prior to registration all international 
students must provide proof of insurance policy and local street address. 

Applicants needing a student visa will be required to submit a deposit of 
$1,200.00 or more before a Certificate of Eligibility will be issued. Continuation of 
the visa after the first calendar year requires further proof and certification of the 
student's financial ability. 

International students with a student visa are required to carry a full course of 
study in every quarter except the summer quarter. A full course of study at 
Savannah State College is twelve (12) quarter hours for undergraduate and ten 
(10) quarter hours for graduate students. 

Immigration Form 1-20 (Certificate of Eligibility), needed to obtain a student 
VISA, will not be issued until the applicant has (1) been accepted by the Office of 
Admissions and Records, (2) paid the enrollment tuition and fees, and (3) submit- 
ted a financial statement indicating how expenses will be met while attending the 
College. 

The refund of tuition and fees will be in accordance with the policies and 
procedures outlined in the College Catalogue. 

There is an Office of International Students' Program and Services. The Coor- 
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

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.

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 
from low-income families or academically unprepared individuals from the com- 
munity who require continued education, in both their career/vocational pursuit 
or personal development. To accomplish this, programs and projects are designed, 
written and submitted for federal funding. 

Programs in Pre-Employment Guidance (Labor Market Orientation); Career/ 
Vocational Exploration (Project Discovery); Classroom Training and Remedia- 
tion (Project Explore); Vocational Exploration Classroom training and Work 
Experience (Project HIRE  Helping Individuals Reach Employment); have been 
funded during recent academic years. 



CORRESPONDENCE STUDY 

The Correspondence Program  In addition to credit instruction on the campus, 
Savannah State College is authorized to offer correspondence courses. Such 
courses have become recognized sources for public education, reflecting a sense of 
obligation to those who cannot undertake resident instruction and to those who do 
not require instruction for personal growth and enrichment. 

Students registering in correspondence study should meet the minimal require- 
ments of graduation from an accredited high school. 



47 



College correspondence study is designed as an auxiliary to regular campus 
classroom and study materials and instructors are usually the same as those for 
resident instruction. 

Courses completed in this program and courses completed in a similar program 
at recognized institutions will be accepted for credit toward graduation at Savan- 
nah State College under the following conditions: 

1) Not more than 45 quarter hours may be earned in correspondence. 

2) Not more than 50% of the required courses in the major or minor may be 
completed in correspondence. 

3) Courses may not be taken in correspondence study to remove deficiencies 
earned in residence. 

4) Correspondence courses may not be taken by students who have completed 
135 or more quarter hours. 

Students desiring to have correspondence credit counted toward graduation 
should obtain written permission from the chief academic officer of the College 
and present this statement to the Correspondence Study Office. 

Information concerning courses, credit, fees, examinations, textbooks, etc., may 
be obtained from: Correspondence Study Office, Savannah State College, Savan- 
nah, Georgia 31404.

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. 

FINANCIAL AID 

Federal Financial Aid Programs 
(Title IV Programs) 

If you are enrolled or accepted for enrollment at Savannah State College and are 
a citizen or permanent resident of the United States, you are eligible to apply for 
assistance under these programs. Remember  grants are gifts but loans must be 
repaid. 

A. Pell Grant  you may apply for a Basic Grant if you are an undergraduate on 
at least a half-time basis in a program of study which is six months in length 
or longer. Basic Grants range from $50 to $1600, depending on your eligibil- 
ity as determined by a standard formula. The formula uses the information 



60 



you provide on your application to produce an eligibility index number. The 
index number is not a dollar figure but is used, along with the total cost of 
attending Savannah State College, and your enrollment status, to determine 
the actual amount of your grant. Basic Grants is an entitlement program, it 
means that all students who are eligible will receive Basic Grants awards. 

1. Basic Grants will be paid through SSC. Your eligibility and the actual 
amount of your aid are determined by the Office of Education. The finan- 
cial aid officer cannot make any adjustments in your award beyond those 
required by the Government. 

2. Your eligibility for a Basic Grant does not directly affect your eligibility 
for any other aid. However, SSC requires you to apply for a Basic Grant 
before you can be considered for other aid. 

B. Supplemental Educational Opportunity (SEOG)  are for students of excep- 
tional financial need who without the grant would be unable to continue their 
education. You are eligible to apply if you are enrolled at least half-time as an 
undergraduate student. If you receive an SEOG, it cannot be less than $200 or 
more than $1500 a year. Normally, an SEOG may be received for up to four 
years, the total that may be awarded is $4000 for a four-year course of study. 
If you are selected for an  SEOG, SSC must provide you with additional 
assistance at least equal to the amount of the grant. (This is a matching 
grant) 

C. College Work Study (CWS)  provides jobs for students who need financial 
aid and who must earn a part of their educational expenses. You may apply if 
you enrolled at least half-time as a graduate or undergraduate student. SSC 
arranges jobs-on-campus or off-campus with a public or private non-profit 
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. 

3. To develop and firmly establish a competency based incentive program for 
accelerated student achievement. 



71 



4. To provide multi-service outreach programs for predetermined community 
needs. 

5. To improve and expand students, personnel services to include the following: 
(a) an active recruitment program; (b) orientation to college life; (c) financial 
planning and support; (d) counseling help in problem situations; (e) informa- 
tion about academic capabilities and options; (f) wise use of time for study, 
work, and leisure; (g) assistance with job placement prior to graduation; (h) 
test performance; and (i) following-up. 

6. To continue efforts to improve the image and visibility of the institution and 
its relationship to the larger community. 

Cooperative Education at Savannah State College is a program organized to 
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Mathematics, Physics, Computer Science, Air Traffic Control, Child Develop- 
ment, Disadvantaged and Handicapped Families, Naval Science (Marine or Navy 
Option) and Military Science (Army). 

The Biology Program provides access to broad preparation for employment at 
the level of support personnel, for graduate study in biology, for graduate study in 
related areas such as environmental sciences or the medical or dental professions. 

The Chemistry Program is aimed at providing the fundamental knowledge 
required for participation in chemically oriented industries, for graduate study for 
chemistry, or in preparation for medical or dental studies. 

The Mathematics Program covers the major areas of mathematics and physics 
and is designed so that the student can have the opportunity to prepare for a 
position immediately after graduation, or for continuing with graduate studies. 
The physics major provides the opportunity for the preparation of student inter- 
ested in a professional career in physics or an immediately adjacent field or a 
strong base in physics for students seeking to pursue careers in, for example, 
medicine, business administration, oceanography, and also those seeking imme- 
diate employment in industry, military service, and computer technology.

receiving military training that culminates with them being commissioned as 
military officers in the Navy or Marine Corps upon completion of the baccalau- 
reate degree. 

The Army Reserve Officers Training Program enhances a student's education 
by providing unique leadership and management training along with practical 
experience. It helps a student develop many of the qualities basic to success in the 
Army, or in a civilian career. ROTC gives students a valuable opportunity to build 
for the future by enabling them to earn a college degree and an officer's commis- 
sion at the same time. 

***PLEASE NOTE The baccalaureate degree program in Home Eco- 
nomics will be discontinued after the 1985-86 academic year. 

*The GED 101 course should be deleted from the curriculum of Fresh- 
men because, beginning Fall, 1986, The School of Sciences and Tech- 
nology will originate a general education course that will be required of 
its majors in lieu of GED 100.

The Department of Engineering Technology offers courses leading to the 
degree of Bachelor of Science, with majors in Civil Engineering Technology, 
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. 

Students interested in this program should consult with the department head 
and the cooperative education program director.

PHILOSOPHY AND PURPOSE 

The Department is committed to the search for, and the application of, con- 
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.

In support of this purpose the basic and primary mission of the NROTC 
program is: 

To develop Midshipmen morally, mentally and physically and to 
imbue them with the highest ideals of duty, honor and loyalty in order 
to commission Savannah State College graduates as officers who 
possess a basic professional background, are motivated toward 
careers in the Naval Service and have a potential for future develop- 
ment in mind and character so as to assume the highest responsibili- 
ties of command, citizenship and government. 

Students enrolled in the NROTC Program are referred to as Midshipmen 
(MIDN) or as Naval Science Students (NSS) and are designated based on Naval 
Science academic status as follows:

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.

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. 

DESCRIPTION OF COURSES 

ENG 097. English Fundamentals I. (5-0-5) 

English 097 is a comprehensive course in basic grammar, sentence structure and 
paragraph development. Students who score below 65 on the Basic Skills Exam 
and who achieve 97 placement on their writing sample are placed in this course. 
Students are expected to write a minimum number of paragraphs and complete lab 
work as well as classroom sentence structure exercises. For exit to the next level, 
students must maintain a C average. Students who maintain an A will be eligible 
to take the final writing sample to exempt both English 098 and 099. Students who 
maintain a B average and who receive a recommendation from their instructors 
will exempt English 098 and enroll in English 099 during the next quarter of their 
matriculation. All quarters. Institutional credit only. 

ENG 098. English Fundamentals II. (5-0-5) 

A Diction course emphasizing writing, reading, listening and speaking skills is 
crucial to the development and success of students' proficiency in English. Stu- 
dents have demonstrated a lack of information concerning issues and events, and 
a knowledge of how to synthesize knowledge into their writing. Futhermore, they 
have demonstrated that they write as they speak; therefore, it is necessary to go to 
the source of many of the students' writing problems  their speech. 

English 098 offers instruction in Diction. It stresses reading, writing, listening 
and speaking skills. Additionally, it is a laboratory -oriented course that provides 
learning opportunities in and out of the classroom. English 098 is designed for the 
097 students who score 68 on the Basic Skills Exam and pass the single paragraph 






255 



writing sample. It is also designed for entering students who score 63-67 on the 
Basic Skills Exam and achieve an 098 placement based on writing samples sub- 
mitted to the instructors of Developmental English. This course primarily utilizes 
audio-software material. Students who maintain an A average will be eligible to 
take the multiparagraph writing sample to exempt 099. Students who maintain a 
B or C average will be recommended for ENG 099. Students who fall below this 
level will re-enroll in ENG 098. All quarters. Institutional credit only. 

ENG 099. English Fundamentals III. (5-0-5) 

English 099 is a basic writing course that emphasizes the multiparagraph theme. 
Students who score 68 or above on the Basic Skills exam but who achieve a 99 
placement on the writing sample are placed in this exit level course. Students who 
complete 097 and 098 and demonstrate the need for further instruction in writing 
skills will enroll in ENG 099. In addition to a minimum number of multiparagraph 
themes, students must complete laboratory and classroom assignments. For exit, 
students must maintain at least a C average and pass the multiparagraph theme. 
All quarters. Institutional credit only. 

097. Reading Foundations. (5-0-5) 

A basic reading course which focuses on basic vocabulary and the Audio- Visual 
Tutorial (AVT) Lab Program at the pre-college level. Students who initially score 
below 58 on the Basic Skills Exam (BSE) and 21 on the AVT Placement Exam are 
placed in this entry level course. Students must complete Span I of the AVT 
Program and complete reading assignments as determined by the instructor. 
Each reading assignment will address the value of writing across the disciplines. 
Subsequent placement in Reading 098 or Reading 099 will be determined by 
students' performance in this course. Institutional credit only. All quarters. 

098. Reading Foundations. (5-0-5) 

An advanced pre-college level course which focuses on studying and test-taking 
skills. Students who initially score 58 to 61 on the Basic Skills Exam (BSE) and/or 
22-26 on the Audio-Visual Tutorial Placement Exam (AVTPE) are placed in this 
exit level course. Students must complete Span II of the (AVT) and complete 
reading assignments as determined by the instructor. Each reading assignment 
will address the value of writing across the disciplines. Subsequent placement in 
Reading 099 will be determined by students' performance in this course. Institu- 
tional credit only. All quarters. 

099. Reading Foundations. (5-0-5) 

The most advanced level course offered by the Reading Department. Students will 
enroll into this course if they meet one of the following criteria: (1) scores between 
59 and 62 on the BSE and scores above 26 on the AVT Placement Test, or; (2) a 
grade of C in the 098 course, or; (3) a grade of C in the 097 course along with the 
recommendation of the 097 instructor. Each reading assignment will address the 
value of writing across the disciplines. Exit from this course requires that a 
student score 68 on the Basic Skills Exam (BSE) and score 11.5 (or its equivalent) 
on a standardized exam. Institutional credit only. All quarters. 



256

score less than 330 on the mathematics section of the Scholastic Aptitude Test 
(SAT), a scaled score less than 80% on the University System Basic Skills Exami- 
nation (BSE) and a score less than 80% on the departmental standardized diagnos- 
tic arithmetic test. The course consists of a study of the four fundamental opera- 
tions as they apply to whole numbers, fractions, mixed numbers, percents, 
decimals, sign numbers, least common multiple (LCM), greatest common divisor 
(LCD), mean, mode, median, exponents, radicals, geometric figures, formulas, and 
word problems. Also, each student will be required to write two themes each per 
quarter. The combined value of two themes will be the equivalent of one chapter 
test grade. All quarters. Institutional credit only. 

MAT 098. Basic Mathematics II: Elementary Algebra. (5-0-5)

greater than or equal to 80% on the departmental standardized diagnostic arith- 
metic test is required. The course consists of the fundamental operations and laws 
as they apply to polynomials, equations and inequalities in one variable, graphs 
and systems of equations, factoring, rational expressions, word problems, arid 
quadratic equations. Also, each student will be required to write two themes each 
per quarter. The combined value of two themes will be the equivalent of one 
chapter test grade. All quarters. Institutional credit only.
