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 col-
leges. 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 Edu-
cation; 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
institution are determined, pursuant to policies to the Board of Regents, by the
institution. The Board establishes minimum academic standards and leaves to
each institution the prerogative to establish higher standards. Applications for
admission should be addressed in all cases to the institutions.
A Core Curriculum, consisting of freshman and sophomore years of study for
students whose educational goal is a degree beyond the associate level, is in
effect at the universities, senior colleges, and junior colleges. This Curriculum
requires 90 quarter-credit hours, including 60 in general education humanities,
mathematics and natural sciences, and social sciences and 30 in the student's
chosen major area of study. It facilitates the transfer of freshman and sophomore
degree credits within the University System.
Instruction is conducted by all institutions.
PUBLIC SERVICE/CONTINUING EDUCATION consists of non-degree ac-
tivities, 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 institu-
tions.
Typical college-degree-credit public service/continuing education courses are
those offered through extension center programs and teacher education consor-
tiums.
12
RESEARCH encompasses investigations conducted primarily for discovery
and application of knowledge. These investigations include clearly denned proj-
ects in some cases, non-programmatic activities in other cases. They are con-
ducted on campuses at many off-campus locations.
The research investigations cover a large number and a large variety of mat-
ters related to the educational objectives of the institutions and to general so-
cietal 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.

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
Industrial College for Colored Youths," and its faculty consisted of Major Wright
as President, instructors in English, mathematics, and natural sciences, a su-
perintendent 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 pro-
gram was reorganized. The high school and normal departments were discon-
tinued and the school became a four-year college. In 1931, when the University
System was placed under a Board of Regents, the College began to offer addi-
tional 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 Schol-
arship Drive, Campus Chest, Annual Men's Day, Religious Emphasis Week,
Freshmen Week, and the Cultural Artists Series. Expanded programs of stu-
dents personnel services, public relations, a reading clinic, and an audio visual
aids laboratory were instituted under the leadership of President Colston.
16
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 in-
stitution 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, Nat-
ural 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 ini-
tiated in all aspects of the College's development. Curricula improvements in
the general education program in teacher education, and in business adminis-
tration, 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
educational 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 (NCATE).
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 Depart-
ment of Health, Education and Welfare, the faculty and students in the Division
of Education at Savannah State College were transferred to Armstrong State
College and Savannah State College received the faculty and students in the
Division of Business from Armstrong State College in a historic program swap.
This program swap resulted in the creation of a new School of Business at
Savannah State College during the 1979-80 academic year.
Additionally, on April 13, 1980 the Board of Regents of the University System
of Georgia approved a new Administrative organization plan for Savannah State
College for 1980-81. Under the plan Savannah State was reorganized into three
17
schools Business; Humanities and Social Sciences; and Sciences and Tech-
nology. 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 currently unoccupied.
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 fa-
cilities, a secretarial center, a language laboratory, a reading clinic and the
Learning Resource Center. Most of the classes in the English, Social Sciences,
and Modern Languages 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 Mor-
gan Hall Annex; J. F. Kennedy Fine Arts Center (1967) Fine Arts; the Griffith-
Drew Center for the Natural Sciences (1971) Biology; and Wiley- Wilcox Gym-
nasium 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 activities. Adams Hall (1931), for-
merly 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, 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.
Adjacent 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
adjacent 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 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 (1985), a dormitory for young
women, completes the list of residence halls now used for housing accommo-
dations. Camilla Hall (1938) has been converted to married student housing.
18
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.

have completed successfully the General Education Development (GED)
Test. Proof of this completion must be verified by the GED certificate.
2. Must have taken the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) and achieved a score
of 750 or more on the combined verbal and mathematics section. Student
scoring below 750 (or below 330 on either math or verbal sections) may
be considered for Admission to the Developmental Studies Program.
3. Pay a ten dollar non-refundable application fee.
REQUIREMENTS FOR CONDITIONAL
ADMISSION
A student who does not meet the above requirements for regular admission
will be conditionally admitted to the college if he meets at least one of the
following specific requirements:
24
1. high school point average of 1.8 or better (this grade point average is to
be based on academic course-work only)
OR
2. a score of not less than 250 on the verbal section of the Scholastic Aptitude
Test
OR
3. a score of not less than 280 on the mathematics section of the Scholastic
Aptitude Test
CONDITIONAL ADMISSION
Applicants for admission whose scores on the combined verbal and mathe-
matics sections of the Scholastic Aptitude Test are less than 750, will be granted
Conditional Admission until they have taken the Basic Skills Examination (BSE)
in English, Reading, and Mathematics, and have achieved satisfactory scores
on each test. Those students whose scores on the BSE are satisfactory will be
granted regular admission. The "conditional admission" status will be continued
for those students whose scores are unsatisfactory on any one of the BSE com-
ponents. 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
Each institution in the University System of Georgia has been mandated by
the Board of Regents to establish a separate Department of Developmental
Studies. This Department is charged with assisting those students admitted to
the college who fail to attain predetermined levels of competencies in writing,
reading, and mathematics. The Department has a separate budget and staff and
reports directly to the Chief Academic Officer.
Regents guidelines specify that entering freshmen scoring below 330 on either
the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) verbal or SAT math shall be required
to take the Basic Skills Examination (BSE) in either English, reading, or
mathematics to determine if that student needs any of the aforementioned
courses. Savannah State College has established a total SAT score of 750 as the
cut off determinant for taking the BSE.
The BSE is given as a placement test each quarter, prior to the start of the
quarter. In addition, the BSE is administered as an exit test after the successful
completion of Developmental Studies course work. Developmental Studies
courses do not earn credit toward graduation. The current exit scores for English,
reading, and mathematics are 68, 68, and 71, respectively. Students are expected
to complete Developmental Studies course work within one (1) academic year
or less. Counseling is an integral part of the Program.
25
TRANSFER STUDENTS
General policies governing admission of transfer students and acceptance of
credit toward advanced standing are as follows:

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

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 mil-
itary service schools shall not exceed a total of 45 quarter hours.
7. A transfer student who has earned excessive credit in freshman and soph-

8. The college reserves the right to reject any or all credits from other insti-
tutions 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.
26

ance while attending Savannah State College. Prior to registration all inter-
national students must provide proof of insurance policy and local street address.
Applicants needing a student vis will be required to submit a deposit of $1,700
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 stu-
dent'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.

ordinator 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 community. The Foreign Students' Advisor is Dr. K. B. Raut (Room 231,
Griffith-Drew Hall) and he will assist with problems concerning immigration
requirements and admissions procedures. There is also an International Student
Association 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 areas 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 Amer-
ican Council on Education.
Inquiries concerning test administration dates, validation of CLEP or AP
scores or other interpretation should be directed to the Admission or Compre-
hensive Counseling Offices of the College.

REGENTS STATEMENT OF DISRUPTIVE
BEHAVIOR
The following is the policy of the Board of Regents regarding disruptive be-
havior 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 com-
munity and to preserve and protect the rights and freedoms of its faculty mem-
bers 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 con-
sidered necessary to combat the ultimate effect of irresponsible disruptive and
obstructive actions by students and faculty which tend to destroy academic
freedom and the institutional structures through which it operates.
In recent years a new and serious problem has appeared on many college
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,
operating 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 in-
stitutions. The Board cannot and will not divest itself of this responsibility.
Of equal or even greater importance, such actions of force as had been de-
scribed 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,
30
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 activ-
ities.
The Board of Regents understands that this policy is consistent with resolu-
tions adopted by the American Colleges in January, 1968, and by the Executive
Committee of the Association for Higher Education in March, 1968, condemning
actions taken to disrupt the operations of institutions of higher education.
STUDENT LOAD
Under ordinary circumstances a student may enroll in courses up to but not
in excess of eighteen (18) quarter hours. Exceptions may be made for students
who are within two quarters of graduation, provided that total hours carried for
credit do not exceed twenty-one (21). Credit for an overload will not be granted,
however, unless it has been recommended by the students' advisor and approved
by the Academic Vice-President 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 Excellent 4 per credit hour
B Good 3 per credit hour
C Average 2 per credit hour
D Poor 1 per credit hour
F Failure per credit hour
WF Withdrew, failing per credit hour
P Pass per credit hour
IP In Progress 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.
31
I (Incomplete) This symbol indicates that a student was doing satisfactory
work, but for non-academic reasons beyond his control, was unable to meet the
requirements of the course. The student may remove the I by completing the
remaining requirements within three quarters of residence: otherwise the grade
of I will be changed to the grade of F by the Registrar. It is the student's
responsibility to initiate the completion of unfulfilled requirements with the
instructor.
W (Withdrawal) This symbol indicates that a student was permitted to
withdraw without penalty. Withdrawals without penalty will not be permitted
after the midpoint of the total grading period (including final examinations),
except in cases of hardship as determined by the Academic Vice-President.
32
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 di-
rector 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 schedules 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 eval-
uating 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 up-
dated 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
provided 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 pro-
fessor to the department head, to the Dean of the professor's school, and ulti-
mately 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.
33
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 Instructor. In addition, each student receives a Grade Report at the end
of each quarter containing the grades and credit hours earned in each course in
which he was enrolled, his grade-point average for the quarter, and his cumu-
lative 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 of 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 recommen-
dation 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 Com-
mittee (exclusive of both the department head and the instructor). The Review
Committee, 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
34
appropriate change on the student's record. The student must show adequate
evidence of unfair grading for the department head to grant a hearing.
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 interdis-
ciplinary (biology/chemistry), cross disciplinary (applied sociology/geron-
tology/biosociology), combined (history/literature, mathematics/
engineering technology) or individual (applied biology, human develop-
ment, enconometrics, nutrition) majors; (ii) to implement an early admis-
sions 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 completing prescribed examinations; (iv) to create an en-
vironment wherein honor students can respond (along with their peers)
to the challenge of enriched alternatives to the regular curriculum and
more fully develop their special talents, aptitude and/or potential; (v) to
enhance and stimulate the development of scholarship, initiative, self-
discipline, identity, self-esteem, purpose and autonomy in students; (vi)
to provide an opportunity for the superior student to do independent study
and interdisciplinary research; (vii) to transcend the bonds of traditional
faculty and student relationships and to promote greater intellectual ex-
change and mutual respect; (viii) to serve the needs of students by pro-
viding opportunities for them to win honors recognition in their majors;
(ix) to enhance the intellectual environment in the College.
B. Educational Enrichment Experiences and Activities for Qualified Students
The proposed honors program has been developed for students of ex-
ceptional academic ability. At the same time, it is obvious that the College
may not be able to provide all the opportunities, challenges and experi-
ences 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
Protection Agency, the Departments of Agriculture and Commerce, the
35
National Oceanographic and Atmosphere Administration (NOAA) and the
National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). Many of these
organizations can also provide research facilities and supervision of un-
dergraduate theses.
C. Recognition of Productive Scholarship, Academic Achievement and Honor
Societies Savannah State College currently recognizes academic
achievement in each of three ways; (a) through the award of certificates
and/or scholarships at honors convocation s); (b) through placement of
students on honor rolls and dean's lists; and (c) through special designation
at commencement 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 by recognized by
(a) including a listing and (program) descriptions of honor societies in all
official College publications, especially the catalog. Representatives of ex-
isting 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 de-
partmental 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 se-
lected 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 culmi-
nating in a term paper.
B. Advanced Placement of Superior Students Another element of the hon-
ors program is advanced placement of students.
The advanced placement status (permitting the waiver of courses and/
or the exemption of course work with credit) may be attained for freshman
and transfer students through the achievement of appropriate scores on
examinations administered by the College Board, the College Level Equiv-
alency Program (CLEP) examinations administered by Savannah State
College, credit by examination tests of the College Board and exemption
examinations administered by various departments. Another element of
the honors program is the early admissions program described below.
C Early Admissions This phase of the honors program will be 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
36
from high school. Details of these programs will be provided in a separate
report on Advanced Placement.
OPERATION OF THE (HONORS) PROGRAM
Admission Requirements: Procedures (DA 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/
professional 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
freshman 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) Stu-
dents 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 average (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 main-
tenance of an honors status in both major and non-major areas). Transfer
students (from junior and/or senior colleges) may be admitted to the honors
program on the basis of appropriate advanced standing or placement. In
such instances, retroactive honors credit for appropriate honors courses
taken at other institutions will be awarded only after a careful review of
a student's academic record.
Sophomore Honors
Sophomore honors will be conferred upon a student who has completed a
minimum of 30 of his/her first 90 quarter credits at the College (with at least 5
honors credit in the humanities, 5 in the social sciences, and 5 credits in the
physical, applied, or biological sciences; a grade of B or better is required. In
addition, the student must also maintain a minimum grade point average (over
all) of B (3.0), on a four point scoring system (A = 4.0). Eligibility for this
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
program 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
37
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 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 pe-
tition the Honors Advisory for permission to enroll in honors courses. When
enrollment in honors courses is limited, preference will be given to honors
candidates. All students 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 with-
draw 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 re-
quirements for freshman and sophomore honors. Such international stu-
dents will be admitted to the honors program (unless prior United States
educational experience is evident) only after they have completed a year
of study at the College. Advanced Placement status and other academic
advancements shall not negate the requirement just described. Since ed-
ucational 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 com-
pleted 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 completed an honors curriculum in a major department, including
the completion 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 hon-
ors status based on grade point averages (e.g. cum laude, etc.), it is sug-
gested that the following designations be adopted for the recognition of
38
honors graduates and candidates, (i) An award based on attainment of
sophomore 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 citation, (v) Institutional honors to those students earning
honors certification in major and non-major areas. (A minimum grade
point average of 3.0 will also be required.)

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 scho-
lastic discipline. At the end of each quarter the Office the Registrar computes
cumulative grade point averages in order to determine the academic standing
of all students 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 dis-
missal of students. In addition, he shall notify other appropriate personnel of
this action.

educational 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

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 Edu-
cation program dedicated to serving the people of Savannah, Chatham County,
the State of Georgia and, for some programs, beyond those boundaries.
A wide variety of programs are offered at Armstrong State College, Savannah
State College, the Downtown Center, and when it is appropriate, at job sites,
schools, community centers and other locations in Savannah. Instructors are
drawn from the faculties of both institutions, from qualified experts in the Sa-
vannah 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 Correspondence Study Office.
SHORT-COURSE/CONFERENCE PROGRAM
The Short-course/conference Program offers non-credit courses; conferences,
seminars and workshops for the general public. Formal admission to the college
is not required.
Classes meet once or twice weekly during the college's regular quarter. The
length of a class meeting ranges from one hour to two hours. No A, B, C, grades
are given, but the S or U mark is given denoting a participant's satisfactory or
unsatisfactory completion of a course. Continuing Education Units are awarded
participants who successfully complete a course, and a record of enrollments
maintained.
Federally Funded Grant Programs
A fundamental purpose of the Extended Services Area/Federally Funded
Grant Program component is to serve the needs of particular groups, including
persons from low-income families or academically unprepared individuals from
the community who require continued education, in both their career/vocational
pursuit or personal development. To accomplish this, programs and projects are
designed, written and submitted for federal funding.
Programs in Pre-Employment Guidance (Labor Market Orientation); Career/
Vocational Exploration (Project Discovery); Classroom Training and Remedia-
tion (Project Explore); Vocational Exploration classroom training and Work Ex-
perience (Project HIRE Helping Individuals Reach Employment); have been
funded during recent academic years.
43
CORRESPONDENCE STUDY
The Correspondence Program In addition to credit instruction on the cam-
pus, Savannah State College is authorized to offer correspondence courses. Such
courses have become recognized sources for public education, reflecting a sense
of obligation to those who cannot undertake resident instruction and to those
who do not require instruction for personal growth and enrichment.
Students registering in correspondence study should meet the minimal re-
quirements of graduation from an accredited high school.
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 Sa-
vannah 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 office of the College
and present this statement to the Correspondence Study Office.
Information concerning courses, credit, fees, examinations, textbooks, etc.,
may be obtained from: Correspondence Study Office, Savannah State College,
Savannah, Georgia 31404.

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.
52
The Regents' Testing Program has been developed to help in the at-
tainment of this goal. The objectives of the Testing Program are: (1) to
provide Systems 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 com-
ponent 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 pro-
gram of remediation 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'
Examination requirements.
53
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 administrations, are now considered to have met the Regents'
Examination requirement. If these students have completed all other grad-
uation requirements, 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
English 093 (Reading) during the quarter subsequent to earning 75 credit hours
or failing the Examination. Permission will not be given to retake the Exami-
nation 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 insti-
tutional credit and requires that the students successfully complete approxi-
mately 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 State 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 con-
currently; 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 reme-
diation 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.
54
ACADEMIC ADVISING
Academic advisors should verify compliance with this policy before signing-
off on class schedules of their advisees. Accordingly, academic advisors should:
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
Savannah State College with seventy-five (75) or more earned degree credit
hours shall take the Test during the initial quarter of enrollment and in sub-
sequent 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 com-
ponent 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.
55
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.
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) recom-
mend, by majority opinion, the re-scoring of the essay by the Regents'
Testing Program central office. The Regents' Test Coordinator will notify
the student of the results of the on-campus review.
5. If the on-campus review panel recommends re-scoring of the essay, the
Regents' Test Coordinator will transmit that recommendation in writing
along with a copy of the essay, to the office of the System's Director of the
Regents' Testing Program.
The System's Director will utilize the services of three (3) experienced
Regent's 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 regu-
lations relating to remediation and to retaking the Test.
REGISTRATION PROCEDURES FOR
THE REGENTS' EXAM
All students will be notified by the Office of Admissions and Records 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.

on at least a half-time basis in a program of study which is six months in
length or longer. Pell Grants range from $50 to $2100, depending on your
eligibility as determined by a standard formula. The formula uses the
information you provide on your application to produce an eligibility index
number. The index number is not a dollar figure but is used, along with
the total cost of attending Savannah State college and your enrollment
status, to determine the actual amount of your grant. Pell Grants is an
entitlement program, it means that all students who are eligible will
receive Basic Grants awards.
1. Pell Grants will be paid through SSC. Your eligibility and the actual
amount of your aid are determined by the Office of Education. The
financial aid officer cannot make any adjustments in your award beyond

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

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.

dents who are enrolled at least half-time and who need a loan to meet
their educational expenses. You may borrow up to a total of: (a) $2500 if

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 5 per cent interest on
the unpaid balance of the loan principle.

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
Incentive 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
Education has defined "good standing" as the eligibility of a student to continue
attending 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 de-
gree 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 with-
out 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 fi-
nancial aid:
1. Students in good standing may receive aid;
2. Students who are placed on academic probation remain eligible to receive
aid in the initial quarter of probationary enrollment but lose eligibility
for aid in the next quarter if they fail to earn a (2.0) or better GPA in
at least 10 hours of work in the initial quarter of probation.
3. As long as students on academic probation continue to make 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,
normally a full course load of 12 or more hours to be eligible for full
financial aid benefits.
A readmitted student who has been suspended for academic reasons must, in
the first quarter after readmission, earn a 2.0 grade-point average as a full-time
student before he 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.
62
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.
63
STUDENT DEVELOPMENT
Student Affairs
The Vice-President for Student Affairs at Savannah State College is respon-
sible to the President for the over- all administration of Student Affairs. Staff
members share with the Vice-President 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 insti-
tution'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.
Expectant mothers are not allowed to remain in dormitories.
Residence on campus complements classroom instruction. Education, 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
Georgia require that all campus residential units for students be
filled before students are permitted to live off-campus. All students
below the senior year (135 quarter hours) are required to live on campus, unless
a condition below exists:
64
a. A student is married and furnishes proof thereof;
b. A student's parents are residents of Chatham County;
c. A student commutes from a neighboring county that is within a 50 mile
radius of the College;
d. A student is a legal resident of Chatham County;
e. A student (handicapped, expectant mother) with special housing needs.
All students are 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 room-
mate, 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 consul-
tation, students are encouraged to direct their own development by acquiring
appropriate life skills. This two-hour class includes units of instruction that
cover; knowing your college, strategies for academic success (study skills, time
management), values clarification and self-concept development, test-taking
skills, academic planning and career exploration. Two quarter credit hours. All
quarters.
Student Conduct
Each student enrolled at Savannah State College is expected at all times to
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 com-
munity.
65
Counseling Service
The Comprehensive Counseling Center (CCC) offers professional counseling
services to all prospective and regularly enrolled students at Savannah State
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, three 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 re-
sources 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. Coun-
seling is confidential and free to students. The center is located on the second
floor of the King-Frazier Student Center, Room 233.
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 have, 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, re-
quired 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
66
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.
The Regents Language Skills Examination is required after completing 45
quarter hours (including English 107, 108, and 109) and before completing 75
quarter hours. Passing this examination determines whether a student may
routinely pursue his degree.
There are routine classroom examinations and the Office of Testing provides
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 Exami-
nation Program (CLEP), and Miller Analogies Test (MAT).
Health Services
The college health services are maintained to improve and safeguard the
health of students. These services are under the direct supervision of the school
physician and school nurse. Medical examinations, medical care, and health
consultations are provided for all students. Harris-McDew Infirmary, a modern,
eighteen-bed building, is provided for students who require treatment or con-
finement for minor illness.
Students who are too ill to attend class must report to the Health Services
Building 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), manu-
facture, 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 a knives, guns, blackjacks,
etc. Persons found in possession of weapons will be subject to disciplinary action
by the College and/or local courts.
67
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 fi-
nancial 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 in the Colston Administration Building, Room 120.
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 246.
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.
68
4. To provide multi-service outreach programs for predetermined community
needs.
5. To improve and expand students, personnel services to include the follow-
ing: (a) an active recruitment program; (b) orientation to college life; (c)
financial planning and support; (d) counseling help in problem situations;
(e) information 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 en-
hance 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 Coun-
selor immediately after their admission to the College and to keep the office
informed of withdrawals, transfers, or graduation status changes.

tivity. By offering advanced professional training in management and admin-
istration, the Program prepares individuals for positions of responsibility in

Definition
Regular Admission means that a student has met all admission requirements
and is admitted to a degree program with full graduate status.
Requirements
To qualify for admission to full graduate status in the MBA program, appli-
cants must show competence in the common business core of knowledge, which
requires a basic understanding of accounting, business law, economics, finance,
information systems, management, marketing, production, quantitative meth-
ods, and statistics. Students who have received a bachelor's degree in business
generally have fulfilled this requirement, but students with degrees in other
disciplines will need preparatory work in these areas before beginning MBA

These preparatory requirements may be satisfied by taking appropriate un-
dergraduate-level or graduate-level prerequisite courses, by correspondence, or
by scoring not less than the fiftieth percentile on the appropriate subject ex-
amination (s) of the College Level Examination Program (CLEP). The CLEP
examinations are available through the testing service of the college.
In addition to appropriate preparatory work, regular admission status requires
950 points based on the formula: 200 times overall GPA plus the GMAT total
scores; or at least 1000 points based on the formula: 200 times the upper
division GPA plus the GMAT total scores.
Special Admission

Those students applying for admission to the MBA program who have not
completed the basic business core (common body of knowledge) must enroll under
the Special Admission status. Student records are maintained by both the Col-
lege Admissions Office and the MBA Office. Students exit from the Special
Admissions category upon the satisfactory completion of all required courses
and meeting all the other criteria for Regular Admission.
Transient Student
(Special Nondegree Status)
Transient students must arrange to have written authorization sent to the
Dean, School of Business 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 admis-
sion in writing and must submit the necessary documents.
READMISSION
Any student in the Graduate Program who did not register during the quarter
immediately preceding the quarter he/she intends to reenroll must process a
readmission form with the Registrar's Office. The only students exempted from
this requirement are those who are initially admitted for graduate study.
STUDENT RESPONSIBILITY
The student is charged with the responsibility for taking the initiative in
meeting all academic requirements and in maintaining a careful check on his/
her progress toward earning a degree. The student is responsible for discharging
his/her obligations to the business office and the library. Further, the student
is responsible for adhering to the rules and regulations pertaining to graduate
students in particular and to all students enrolled in a unit of the University

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 philo-
sophical studies are available. The Department promotes an extensive, inter-
disciplinary approach that encourages investigation 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 rela-
tionships betwen 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 appreciate of his/her personal identity and social
heritage. Such awareness and appreciate should cultivate in the student a qual-
ity of mind marked by analytical, constructive, imaginative, and creative inquiry
and thought. To foster the development of such intellectual and humane capa-
bilities, the Department helps the student by promoting: (1) oral and written
proficiency in English, including an appreciation for linguistic plurality; (2) crit-
ical 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 humanistic and social goals.
The Department of Humanities provides opportunities for the study and anal-
ysis of language, literature, art, music, mass media, philosophy, and religion.
These studies and analyses are intended to motivate the student to acquire a
more profound understanding and appreciation of the humane spirit, to enliven
imagination and inventiveness, to expand aesthetic horizons, and to probe and
cultivate individual and social identity. Additionally, the Department encour-
ages the student to utilize resources and opportunities of the proximate urban
area as well as to share with it his interests, talents, and achievement. The
student engaging in these activities and accomplishing these purposes may be
expected to become an intellectually aware, sensitive, flexible, effective citizen,
equipped to contribute to society through the maintenance of humane perspec-
tives and values.

152
Categories of Admission
Full Admission
Full admission means an applicant has met all admission requirements and
is admitted to a degree program with full graduate status.
The requirements for full admission are, graduation from an accredited college
or university with an undergraduate grade point (GPA) of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale and
a score of 900 or better on the Graduate Record Examination.
Provisional Admission
Provisional admission means that a student has applied for admission to the
MPA Program but has some condition affecting his/her status; e.g., low GRE
score (800-899), low GPA (2.50 - 2.99), need for preparatory course work. The
Student is admitted to the Program but must meet the following requirements
before achieving full admission status.
Requirements
Upon completion of 15 hours (3 courses) of graduate level work with a "B"
grade or better in each, admission will be reclassified as "Full Admission" pro-
viding all other requirements of admission have been met. Failure to achieve a
"B" grade in each of the first 3 graduate level courses will result in the applicant's
being dropped as a degree seeking student.
Preparatory course work will not be counted as part of the 3 required graduate
level courses.
Preparatory Course Work
To qualify for admission to full graduate status in the MPA Program, appli-
cants must show competence in the common core of public administration knowl-
edge. Generally, this core consists of an understanding of the operation of federal,
state, and local government; familiarity with management techniques, and com-
petency in policy analyses and formulation. Students who have received a bach-
elor's degree in public administration, political science, urban planning or policy
science generally have fulfilled this requirement. Students with degrees in other
disciplines will need preparatory work before beginning the MPA Program. The
preparatory requirements may be satisfied by:
1. Satisfactory completion of appropriate undergraduate level courses se-
lected with the approval of the MPA Coordinator. Not more than 15 hours
of such courses shall be taken.
2. Scoring not less-than the fiftieth (50th) percentile on the appropriate sub-
ject examinations of the College Level Examination Program (CLEP). The
CLEP examinations are available through the testing service of the Col-
lege.
Academic credit earned in preparatory course work will not count for the total
hours required for the MPA degree.
Special Admission Procedure
Any student failing to fulfil the requirements to gain provisional admission
into the MPA Program may request a special review of his or her application.
153
This appeals process will take into account the affirmative action obligations of
the College. As a minimum, this review will consider the following factors;
1. Each student who makes such a request who has not presented a satis-
factory GRE score should have taken the test a minimum of two times.
2. All students who make such a request can do so only after they have
exhausted the fifteen hours of non-degree preparatory work. The Graduate
Committee will give special consideration to the classroom performance
of the students in these three courses, including personal interviews with
the professors if necessary.
3. The Committee will carefully review the student's grade point average in
the undergraduate major.
4. The Committee will also give special attention to the student's perform-
ance during his or her last two years of academic work.
5. The Committee will give careful consideration to appropriate work ex-
perience related to the program of study in the MPA Program.
6. Special consideration will be given to both the GPA and the GRE scores
so that an exceptionally high score in one of these can be taken into account
as a means of off-setting a less than minimal score in the other.
7. The Committee will request letters of recommendation from professional
supervisors, colleagues, and other persons knowledgeable about the ap-
plicant's personal attributes, professional training, and life experiences
that would indicate a high probability of academic success.
8. Each applicant should submit in writing a specifically detailed statement
indicating why he or she should be admitted into graduate study in the
program. This letter should be addressed to the MPA Program Coordi-
nator.
9. The Committee shall choose such other criteria as are deemed necessary
in each individual case.
TRANSIENT STUDENT

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 MPA 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 document.
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.

meeting all academic requirements and in maintaining a careful check on his/
her progress toward earning a degree. The student is responsible for discharging
his/her obligations to the business office and the library. Further, the student
is responsible for adhering to the rules and regulations pertaining to graduate
students in particular and to all students enrolled in a unit of the University

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 Appli-
cation for Candidacy which the student must process upon the completion of 25
hours of graduate work. This application is obtained in the MPA 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 ap-
proval of transfer credits is granted via the student's Application for Candidacy
which requires approval by the student's adviser and the MPA Coordinator.
ACADEMIC STANDARDS
MPA 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 MPA 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 graduate degree.
155
COURSE LOAD LIMITATION
A full-time graduate student is expected to carry no more than 15 hours per
quarter. The course load for the fully employed student should be appropriately
reduced in consultation with his/her adviser. A student on academic probation
or on Provisional Admission status should carefully plan his/her course load in
consultation with the adviser.
WITHDRAWAL, DROPPING, AND ADDING COURSES
Withdrawal is, in the technical sense, dropping all courses and processing a
formal withdrawal through the Office of the MPA Coordinator which issues a
withdrawal form. A student may withdraw from school at any time during the
quarter. Only by formally withdrawing, however, can a student become eligible
for the refunds of fees as explained in the College Catalog. The student bears
the responsibility of contacting the Coordinator's Office to officially drop a course
and obtain the signature of his/her professor. Course withdrawals before mid-
term are recorded as "W"; any course withdrawals after midterm are recorded
with a grade of "F". Adding a course may be accomplished through the Registrar's
Office which will process a drop/add slip. Courses may be added only during the
late registration days at the beginning of the quarter and not at any other time
during the quarter. The student must pay the appropriate fee for the additional
course, unless a course comparable in credit hours is being dropped simulta-
neously.
ADVISEMENT
Upon admission to the MPA Program, each student will be assigned a faculty
advisor who will approve scheduling of course work, recommend the student for
candidacy, and serve as Chairman of the Student's Comprehensive Examination
Committee. Special pre-registration advisement sessions will be held in advance
of each quarter's registration. The advisors will interpret the program of studies
for the student and help direct the student into a course of study relevant to
the Program's standards and student needs.

gree of Bachelor of Science, with majors in Civil Engineering Technology, Elec-
tronics Engineering Technology, Mechanical Engineering Technology and
Process Engineering Technology; and to the degree of Associate of Applied Sci-
ence with majors in Chemical Engineering Technology, Civil Technology, Com-
puter Technology, Drafting and Design Technology, Electronics Technology and
Mechanical Technology. The civil, electronics and mechanical engineering tech-
nology 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 pro-
viding 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 sys-
tems, communication systems, and products needed to maintain a highly tech-
nical society. The activities of engineering technology are concerned with
translating 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.
All students majoring in Engineering Technology are required
to have an engineering drawing kit which they should bring with
them or be prepared to purchase upon enrollment.
REGISTRATION FOR PROFESSIONAL ENGINEER
To protect public safety each state establishes laws to license engineers in-
volved in projects affecting public health, safety and life. The registration process
involves written examination, professional work experience and professional
recommendations.
Although it is not the goal of Savannah State College to offer programs to
prepare an individual to become a registered engineer, it is possible for an
208
engineering technology graduate to become registered in Georgia and some other
states. The requirements for registration as a professional engineer vary from
state to state with some states not allowing engineering technology graduates
to become registered. Students considering registration as a professional engi-
neer should contact the faculty advisor for further information.
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 em-
ployer.
Students work in industry and attend college during alternate quarters or as
arranged by both parties. To remain in the program, they must maintain cred-
itable records at both places. Students must register for the appropriate coop-
erative 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.

DEPARTMENT OF MILITARY SCIENCE
(ROTC)
CAPTAIN KEITH MERRELL, Head
Staff Sergeant Troy McCants Master Sergeant Joe Johnson
Mrs. Ray cine McGhee
General
The Department of Military Science is a Senior Division Reserve Officer Train-
ing 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 ex-
perience 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 sophomore
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 phys-
ically 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, ordinance, transportation, finance, legal,
engineering, chemical and medical. Regardless of the branch selected all officers
will receive valuable experience in management, logistics and administration.
243
Advanced 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. Gradu-
ates 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, weap-
ons, 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 course work remaining, but who have not completed
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
244
other courses during this session. Upon successful completion of the military
science courses, they will be placed in the advanced course. Students attending
the basic camp at Fort Knox, Kentucky, are paid at active army rates and given
a travel allowance from their home to camp and return.
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 com-
missioning 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 afore mentioned tests in conjunction with other
standard and locally constructed instruments are utilized to determine exemp-
tion from and placement into Developmental Studies courses. Basic Skills Ex-
amination cut off scores for exemption and exit effective Fall 1986 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 above. Such students
must take all Developmental Studies courses (courses numbered 99 or below).
The undergirding philosophy of the Program is that although there are slow
learners and fast learners, most students become very similar with regard to
learning ability, rate of learning, and motivation for further learning when
provided with favorable learning conditions. The Program supports the conten-
tion that "high risk" students possess strengths that should be developed and
weaknesses that can be remediated. In order to facilitate this growth and de-
velopment, each of the four components of Savannah State's Program of Devel-
opmental Studies have created objectives designed to promote the overall mission
of the Program. These objectives are based on the desire of Development Studies'
staff and faculty to support the students pursuit of academic excellence and life
survival skills.
All time spent in Developmental Studies course work shall be cumulative
within the University System and the College's students shall not be allowed
more than four (4) quarters in any one area. A student who fails to successfully
exit any one or more area within the our (4) quarter limitation shall be excluded
from Savannah State College and any other unit of the University System for
one year.
A student may not accumulate more than 30 hours of degree credit before
finishing his Developmental Studies requirements. Any student who does ac-
cumulate 30 credit hours or more and who has not successfully completed the
required Developmental Studies courses may enroll only in Developmental
Studies courses until those requirements are successfully completed.
248
Successful completion or exit from Developmental Studies will occur only after
a student has successfully completed the required courses and met the minimum
exit scores in each subject area and successfully passes a final writing sample.
No degree credit will be awarded for Developmental Studies course work.
Institutional credit for financial aid and athletic students will be awarded.
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 - Grammar.
The immediate purpose of English 097 is two fold: to develop and strengthen
basic writing skills in grammar, usage, mechanics, and sentence structure; and
ultimately to prepare students to pass the post-Basic Skills Examiniatin (B.S.E. )
English 097 is the first of two levels of developmental English. On this level,
students are engaged in mastering the basic rules of grammar and in applying
those rules to their oral and written language. It is designed to remediate the
writing deficiencies of students who score below 68 on the pre-Basic Skills Ex-
amination (B.S.E.) and who pass and or fail the Placement Writing Sample. To
complete this course, students must (1) maintain a class average equivalent to
"C" or better, (2) satisfactorily complete laboratory assignments and mastery
modules, (3) earn a minimum score of 68 on the post-B.S.E. Upon satisfying
these requirements, students who initially passed the Placement Writing Sample
will enroll in English 107, the first sequence of the freshman English series,
during the next quarter of matriculation. Those who initially failed the Place-
ment Writing Sample must enroll in English 098 for further instruction in
composition unless they exempt English 098. Students who fail to satisfy course
requirements will re-enroll in English 097 during the next quarter of matricu-
lation.
249
ENG 098. English Fundamentals II - Composition.
The immediate purpose of English 098 is to give students instruction and practice
in organizing and developing the multiparagraph theme and to prepare them
to pass the Exit Writing Sample.
English 098 offers instruction in outlining and prewriting, developing the mul-
tiparagraph theme, and building vocabulary. A laboratory oriented course, it
provides learning situations in both the classroom and English laboratory. This
course is designed for students who passed English 097 but who demonstrated
a need for additional instruction in composition. This course is also designed for
students who initially passed the pre-B.S.E. but who failed the Placement Writ-
ing Sample.
RDG 097. Reading Foundations I. (5-0-5)
Reading Foundations 097 is an individualized and classroom directed course in
reading. The specific skills to be taught in this course are: scanning, substitu-
tions, context clues, inferences, main ideas, supporting details, comparisons,
sequence, cause and effectl, problems and solutions, summarizing, fact and opin-
ion, bias/viepoint, persuasion, relevance/proof, setting/tone/theme, and character
and feelings. A student who scores on grade level 8.5 and below on the Stanford
Diagnostic Reading test is placed in this course. Writing assignments are an
integral part of this course. Subsequent placemtn in RDG 098 will be determined
by the exit requirements for this course. Any student who scores 67 and below
on the Basic Skills Exam will be administered the Stanford Diagnostic Reading
test (SDRT).
RDG 098. Reading Foundations II (5-0-5)
Reading Foundations 098 is also an individualized and classroom directed course
in reading, and the same skills as in RDG 097 are taught and reinforced e.g.
scanning, substitutions, context clues, inferences, main ideas, supporting details,
comparisons, sequence, cause effect, problems and solutions, summarizing, fact
and opinion, bias/viewpoint, persuasion, relevance/proof, setting/tone/theme,
and character and feelings. The differences between 097 and 098 are the level
of content, placement, and exit requirements. In addition, a student who scores
on grade level 9.0 and above on the Stanford Diagnostic Reading test is placed
in this course. Writing assignments are an integral part of this course.
MAT 097. Basic Mathematics I: Arithmetic. (5-0-5)
The prerequisite for this course is admission to Savannah State College, a scaled
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 Ex-
amination (BSE) and a score less than 80% on the departmental standardized
diagnostic arithmetic test. The course consists of a study of the four fundamental
operations 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 equivalent of one chapter
test grade. All quarters. Institutional credit only.
250
MAT 098. Basic Mathematics II: Elementary Algebra. (5-0-5)
The prerequisite for this course is the same as Math 097 except that a scaled
score greater than or equal to 80% on the departmental standardized diagnostic
arithmetic 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,
and quadratic equations. Also, each student will be required to write two themes
each per quarter. The combined value of two themes will be equivalent of one
chapter test grade. All quarters. Institutional credit only.
