THE UNIVERSITY SYSTEM OF
GEORGIA

The University System of Georgia includes all state-operated institutions of
higher education in Georgia 4 universities, 15 senior colleges, 15 junior col-
leges. These 34 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 short courses, sem-
inars, 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.

RESEARCH encompasses investigations conducted primarily for discovery
and application of knowledge. These investigations include clearly defined proj-

12

II

II

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 southeast 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. Dr. Rayburn served the college for eight
years. Under his leadership on the undergraduate level academic programs in
social work were initiated and received professional accreditation. At the grad-
uate level, a master's degree in public administration was begun. Dr. Rayburn
was also responsible for a resurgence by the faculty and staff of participation
in public service efforts which benefit the Savannah community.

On February 1, 1988, Dr. Wiley S. Bolden became the acting president of
Savannah State College. Dr. Bolden served as acting president until August 31,
1989.

On September 1, 1989, Dr. William E. Gardner, Jr. became the ninth 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 houses 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; Wiley- Wilcox Gymna-
sium Complex Physical Education, the Marine Biology Building (1989); and,
the School of Business Building (1989).

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

18

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.
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.

THE CORE CURRICULUM, SCHOOLS,
DEGREES, AND PROGRAMS

THE CORE CURRICULUM

All bachelor's degree programs and associate degree programs require that
students complete a 90 quarter credit hour core of general education courses.

These courses form the foundation of degree programs and guarantee transfer
of credit among all colleges and universities in the University System of Georgia.
General education, broadly conceived, is that education which is needed by all
citizens in a democratic society: the humanities; mathematics and the natural
sciences; and the social sciences. General education is seen not only as the
accumulation of factual knowledge in these areas, but also as a pursuit of learn-
ing, attitudes, competencies, and values believed to give students a sense of
meaning and direction in their lives.

The core requirements are as charted below, although specific courses may
vary according to the degree sought. The courses should be completed before a
student begins junior year courses.

Area I. Humanities: 20 hours required

English 107-108-109 15 hours

Humanities 232 5 hours

Area II. Mathematics and Science: 20 hours required

Mathematics 10 hours

Two-quarter sequence in one

A Laboratory Science BIO, CHE, PHY, PHS, 10 hours

Area HI. Social Sciences: 20 hours required

World Civilization, United States History, Government,
Psychology, and Sociology

Area IV. Courses Appropriate to the Major: 30 hours required
Area IV courses are selected by the faculty of each
department or school to provide the necessary
foundation upon which the students will build their
major courses as juniors and seniors.

Other General Requirements: 9-11 hours required

A. The faculty requires the completion of one introductory course which

assists students in making the transition to college and prepares
them to be better, more effective students. 3-5 hours

B. The faculty also requires students to complete Physical Education

activity courses offered through the Department of Recreation. 6
hours

21

Requirements for Regular Admission as a Freshman

The following minimum requirements must be met in order for a student to
receive consideration as a freshman. It should be noted, however, that admission
is a selective process and satisfying the minimums will not necessarily guarantee
acceptance without additional testing. If a file is not completed in time for testing
to be scheduled prior to registration, it may be necessary to delay the application
to a future quarter.

1. An applicant must be a graduate of a regionally accredited high school
with a diploma (or the General Equivalency Diploma GED) as opposed
to the certificate of attendance. An applicant who is not a high school
graduate may be considered for admission based upon completion of the
General Education Development Examination (GED) with a score that
satisfies the minimum requirements of the State of Georgia. The total
score must be 225 or higher. No score lower than 35 will be acceptable in
any area, and the composite or average score must be 45 or more.

2. The following College Preparatory Curriculum (CPC) course of study is
required of students graduating from high school in the Spring of 1988,
or later, who plan to enroll in Savannah State College programs leading
to the baccalaureate degree.

English (4) emphasis in grammar usage, litera-

ture (American and World), and ad-
vanced composition skills.

Science (3) emphasis in physical science and

two lab courses in biology, chemis-
try, or physics.

Mathematics (3) two courses in algebra and one in

geometry.

opmental Studies will be required to take the Collegiate Placement Ex-
amination (CPE) for advisement and placement purposes. The
Department of Developmental Studies will notify the student of test dates
and times. The CPE helps to determine whether an individual possesses

25

the necessary proficiency in English, reading and mathematics. Students
are placed in the appropriate developmental course(s) in which they need
assistance. Upon satisfactory completion of the requirements as defined
by an academic adviser, a student may proceed in an undergraduate degree
program.

Note: Students whose performance on the CPE exempts them from the
need for any developmental studies coursework will be re-accepted to the
degree program for which they originally applied.

Provisional Admission

Students who do not meet the College Preparatory Curriculum will be con-
sidered for provisional admission to the College. The following represents the
Savannah State College's criteria for provisional admission.

1. English Students graduating with less than the four required units of

English will be required to take the Collegiate Placement Ex-
amination (CPE) in English and Reading. Based on the score on
this test, the student would (1) exempt Developmental Studies
English and Reading, or (2) be placed in Developmental Studies
English and/or reading.

2. Mathematics Students graduating with less than three required units

of mathematics will be required to take the Collegiate Placement
Examination (CPE) in mathematics. Based on the score on this
test, the student would (1) exempt Developmental Studies math-
ematics, or (2) be placed in Developmental Studies mathematics
at the appropriate level.

3. Science Students graduating with less than the three required units of

science will be required to take an additional five hour course
(for credit) in a laboratory science. Students will be advised to
take a Physical Science (PHS) core course.

exempt from CPC requirements.

26

2. An applicant applying for any certificate (non-degree) program offered by

grade point average on all academic courses will be denied admission to the
College.

Conditionally admitted students become "regular" students by completing De-
velopmental Studies Requirements within a specified time period.

ADMISSION OF OLDER STUDENTS

Students who have not attended high school or college within the five years
previous to their application for admission and have earned fewer than twenty
transferable quarter credit hours of college credit are not required to take the
SAT or the ACT. These students, however, must take the University System of
Georgia's Collegiate Placement Examination and complete any Developmental
Studies Program requirements.

Programs leading to career degrees (Associate of Applied
Science or Certificates and Non-degree Students)

For placement purposes, students admitted in this category must take the
University System of Georgia's College Placement Examination (CPE) in read-
ing, English, and in mathematics. For those students whose scores do not exceed
the institution's minimum cutoff scores for Developmental Studies placement,
the application of the Developmental Studies requirements depends on the stu-
dents' program of study:

1. For those students who will take any course which has a Developmental
Studies prerequisite in an area (or areas), all Developmental Studies re-
quirements in that area (or areas) must be met.

2. For students who will take no courses with a Developmental studies pre-
requisite in an area (or areas), the Developmental Studies requirements
do not apply. The Director of Developmental Studies will determine
whether remediation is needed for these students and shall provide such
remediation through appropriate means.

Students who meet Savannah State College requirements for regular admis-
sion are exempted from taking the College Placement Examination. Students
who have earned an A.A.S. degree may, at the discretion of the Director of
Admissions and the appropriate department head, be admitted to a program
leading to the baccalaureate degree according to the criteria for admission of
transfer students.

27

Students admitted in this category who have not completed the A.A.S. degree
may transfer into programs that lead to a baccalaureate degree if they meet
regular (or provisional) admission requirements or if they have earned at least
twenty college credit hours with a 2.0 minimum grade point average. All College
Preparatory Curriculum and Developmental Studies requirements apply to stu-
dents in this category although available test scores and completed Develop-
mental Studies work may be applied toward the fulfillment of these
requirements.

Students seeking the Associate of Applied Science Degree must fulfill the
Georgia Legislative Requirement, but they do not have to fulfill the Regents'
Test requirement.

TRANSFER STUDENTS

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

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

2. Students transferring from another college will supply the Director of
Admissions and Records with transcripts of records from colleges
previously attended. These transcripts must be sent directly from the
registrars of 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 show
honorable discharge from colleges attended or unless the official of the
instititution last attended recommends the applicant's admission. If two
or more years have elapsed since the applicant's dismissal from the last
college or university attended, the admissions committee may review the
application for admission.

3. Conditionally admitted transfer students must meet the same admission
requirements as individuals admitted to the College for the first time. A
complete record of the student's past remedial coursework and CPE scores
must be on file in the Savannah State College Admissions and Records
Office before the student can be admitted. In addition, a conditionally
admitted transfer student must be eligible to return his or her previous
institution before the student will be considered for admission to Savannah
State College.

4. An applicant transferring from an institution or program that did not
require the College Preparatory Curriculum must submit a transcript of
secondary school credits unless the applicant has completed both the
freshman and sophomore years of college or has graduated from high
school before spring, 1988. Transfer students who have not met the College
Preparatory Curriculum requirements and who have not completed both
the freshman and sophomore years may be admitted only as provisional
students under the procedures established by the University System of
Georgia.

28

5. A student who has not earned a degree and is transferring from a career
degree program, a certificate program, or non-degree status to a program
leading to the baccalaureate degree must meet the requirements specified
in number 4 above.

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

7. Persons who have earned grades of "C" or higher in courses taken in
accredited colleges and who, in the judgment of the Committee on
Admissions, have presented otherwise satisfactory credentials may be
admitted.

8. Credit allowed for extension, correspondence, CLEP examination or mil-
itary service schools shall not exceed a total of 45 quarter hours.

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

10. The College reserves the right to reject any or all credits from other in-
stitutions 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.

1 1 . The evaluation of transfer credit is given a student during the first quarter
of enrollment. The College reserves the right to disallow transfer credit
for courses if the student's subsequent grades in required courses in the
same subject fall below average.

TRANSIENT STUDENTS

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

Transient status means that students are admitted for only a specified period
of time, normally for one quarter. Applicants for transient status must file a
regular application form and submit a statement from their dean or registrar
that they are in good standing and have permission to take specific courses at
Savannah State College. An application fee ($10.00) is also required. Since tran-
sient students are not admitted as regular students, transcripts of college work
completed elsewhere are not usually required of such applicants. Transient stu-
dents who wish to remain at Savannah State College must submit additional
statements from their dean or registrar or must meet all requirements for regular
admission as transfer students.

SAVANNAH STATE COLLEGE STUDENTS

Savannah State College students who wish to take course work at another
college with the intent to apply the courses to their academic record at Savannah
State College may do so in accordance with regulations for transient status at

REGENTS STATEMENT OF DISRUPTIVE

BEHAVIOR

The following statement is the policy of the Board of Regents regarding dis-
ruptive behavior in any institution of the University System. The rights, re-
sponsibilities and prohibitions described 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

34

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,
research, administrative, disciplinary or public service activity, or any other
activity authorized to be discharged or held on any campus of the University
System of Georgia is considered by the Board to have committed an act of gross
irresponsibility and shall be subject to disciplinary procedures, possibly resulting
in dismissal or termination of employment.

The Board reaffirms its belief that all segments of the academic community
are under a strong obligation and have a mutual responsibility to protect the
campus community from disorderly, disruptive, or obstructive actions which
interfere with academic pursuits or teaching learning and other campus
activities.

The Board of Regents understands that this policy is consistent with 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.

CLASS STANDING, GRADES, AND COURSE

LOADS

Classification of Students

Students are classified on the basis of earned academic quarter hours as
follows:

Freshman fewer than 45 quarter hours

Sophomore 45 through 89 quarter hours

Junior 90 through 134 quarter hours

Senior 135 or more quarter hours

Graduate student who has been formally admitted to graduate study

The classification under which a student registers at the beginning of any
quarter will continue through the quarter.

35

STUDENT LOAD

The normal academic work load is 15 hours per quarter for undergraduate
students and 10 hours for graduate students. Undergraduate students carrying
fewer than 12 hours per quarter and graduate students carrying fewer than 10
hours per quarter will not be certified as full-time students.

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

C Average 2 per credit hour

D Poor 1 per credit hour

F Failure per credit hour

Excellent 4 per credit hour

Good 3 per credit hour

' ranuic w pci ucun nuui

WF Withdrew, failing per credit hour

P Pass per credit hour

In Progress per credit hour

Audit per credit hour

Credit per credit hour

IP
V

K

The grade "F" indicates that the student has failed to meet the minimum
requirements of the course.

All courses in the major, minor, professional education or freshman English
in which the grade of D is earned must be repeated. The grade of D, like higher
grades, can be raised only by repeating the course in which the D was earned.

The following grades also used, but are not included in the determination of
the grade of the grade point average.

I (Incomplete) This symbol indicates that a student was doing satisfactory
work, but for non-academic reasons beyond his control, was unable to meet the
requirements of the course. The student may remove the I by completing the
remaining requirements within three quarters of residence: otherwise the grade
of I will be changed to the grade of F by the Registrar. It is the student's
responsibility to initiate the completion of unfulfilled requirements with the
instructor.

36

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 dean and the Vice
President for Student Affairs.

V (Audit) This symbol indicates that a student has been given permission
to sit for a course without receiving quality points or a grade other than "V".
Students may not transfer from audit to credit or vice versa.

K (Credit This symbol indicates that a student has been given credit for
the course via a credit by examination program approved by the faculty of the
College.

Note:

The numbers in parentheses after course descriptions in the catalog refer to
lecture, lab and credit hours.

Withdrawal From Classes (Dropping)

Students desiring to withdraw from classes should secure the Drop/Add forms
from their academic department; obtain their instructor's signature; take forms
to cashier's office; and then to the Registrar's Office for computer processing.
The last day to withdraw without penalty is at mid quarter of each quarter.

37

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 the 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 advisees about the appropri-
ateness of the academic program they have selected as well as the appropriate-
ness 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 advisees, and of assisting them in evaluating their
progress and in making decisions about their present and future academic ca-
reers 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
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 or 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.

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 class. These
reports are prepared in multiple copies, with copies for the Director of Admissions

38

and Records, the academic vice president, the department head, and the in-
structor. In addition, each student receives a Grade Report at the end of each
quarter containing the grades and credit hours earned in each course in which
he was enrolled, his grade-point average for the quarter, and his cumulative
grade-point average.

Mid-quarter grade reports contain grades for students whose work in a course
is below the C level at mid-quarter. The Office of Admissions and Records sends
copies of such reports to the students, 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. Presentation to the dean of the school of conclusive, documentary evidence
that the grade was reported in error;

2. 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 for academic affairs.

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 registrar to make the appropriate change on the student's
record. The student must show adequate evidence of unfair grading for the
department head to grant a hearing.

CALCULATING THE CUMULATD7E
AVERAGE

Determinations of scholastic standing are generally based upon a cumulative
grade point average which appears on each student's permanent record. The
cumulative grade point average is calculated by dividing the total number of

39

grade points earned in academic courses at Savannah State College by the total
number of academic credit hours attempted at Savannah State College. Credits
earned in other institutions, credit by examination, credits which carry S/U
grades, institutional credit courses, and courses specifically excluded by college
policy are not used in computing the cumulative grade point average.

RECOGNITION OF EXCELLENCE IN
SCHOLARSHIP

Persons who have not been subject to disciplinary action while earning su-
perior grades, and who likewise, have not incurred any academic deficiencies,
are eligible for honors status as here indicated:

1. Students who maintain an average of B in not less than a normal load
during a given quarter are eligible for listing on the Honor Roll.

2. Students who maintain an average of 3.50 or higher, in a full program in
a quarter will have their names placed on the Dean's List for that quarter.

3. Students who maintain an average of 3.00 during any quarter may secure
permission to take additional hours during the following quarter, the total
not to exceed twenty hours. Additionally, students whose general average
is 3.00 or better may be permitted to take quarter hours in excess of a
normal load up to a limit of 20 quarter hours.

GRADUATION HONORS

Graduation with honors is based upon completion of a minimum attendance
period of six quarters and completion of at least ninety hours at Savannah State
College. In addition, students who graduate with honors must attain the follow-
ing grade-point average entire period of college attendance:

Cum Laude 3.00

Magna Cum Laude 3.40

Summa Cum Laude 3.75

ACADEMIC PROBATION AND SUSPENSION

Savannah State College is operated for students who demonstrate seriousness
of purpose and ability and disposition to profit by college work. Students who
fail to fulfill the scholarship requirements of the institution are subject to scho-

40

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.

1. Any student who earns a D or F in English 107, or 109 or in any course
required in his major or minor must repeat the course during the next
quarter that it is offered.

2. Stages of Progress Minimum Cummulative

Quarter Hours Grade Point Average

1-45 1.5

46-90 1.7

90-120 1.9

121 and above 2.0

A student whose cumulative grade average at the end of any quarter is
at or above the minimum grade point average for his appropriate stage
of progress will be considered in good standing.

A student whose cumulative grade point average first falls below the min-
imum grade point average for his stage of progress will then be placed on
academic warning.

A student on academic warning whose cumulative grade point average is
not raised to the satisfactory level for his stage of progress at the end of
the quarter will then be placed on academic probation.

A student who does not achieve the cumulative grade point average for
his stage of progress, but does maintain a 2.0 grade point average for his
probationary quarter will be continued on probation for the next quarter
of attendance.

A student who does not raise his grade point average to the minimum
level for his stage of progress or achieve a 2.0 grade point average during
his probationary quarter will be suspended from the College for one
quarter.

3. A student on probation (1) may not register for less than ten hours and
not more than thirteen hours; (2) must repeat all courses in which he
earned the grade of F that are prescribed in his curriculum and all courses
in his major and minor concentration and Freshman English in which he
earned the grade of D; (3) must report to his academic advisor for coun-
seling immediately after being notified of his probationary status, and (4)
will not be permitted to represent the College or hold office in any college
organization.

4. Any student who fails all of his classes during a given quarter, or who
withdraws from all of his classes without an approved withdrawal from
the College, will not be permitted to enroll for the succeeding quarter.

5. A student who has been suspended for academic reasons may be read-
mitted when he has complied with the following procedures:

41

a. Submission of an Application for Readmission at least thirty (30) days
prior to the beginning of the quarter that he expects to return;

b. Submission of evidence of increased motivation and maturity.

The College reserves the right to deny admission to any student who
has been suspended for academic reasons.

Applications for Readmission are considered by the Committee on Ad-
mission on the basis of detailed information concerning the cause of failure,
academic goals, entrance tests, college grades previously earned, length
of absence, motivation, outside commitments, and recommendations from
appropriate personnel.

A student readmitted after suspension will be placed on academic pro-
bation and will be subject to the regulations listed in number two above.

ACADEMIC SUSPENSION FOR
DEVELOPMENTAL STUDIES STUDENTS

Students who do not complete the requirements for each Developmental Stud-
ies area after a maximum of four (4) attempts per area will be suspended from
the institution for one quarter.

A student who is readmitted will be allowed one attempt per area to satisfy
any Developmental Studies deficiencies, and shall take no other work simul-
taneously at this institution without authorizaton from the Director of Devel-
opmental Studies. Readmitted students not exiting Developmental Studies
within one attempt per area will then be suspended for three quarters after
which they may only be readmitted upon written permission of the president,
and then only for two attempts per area (during this time students will not be
allowed to take any other courses).

STUDENT ACADEMIC GRIEVANCE

APPELLATE PROCEDURES

(Disciplinary)

A. Original Jurisdiction:

1. Initial and Original Jurisdiction All student grievances of an aca-

WITHDRAWING FROM COLLEGE

Students at Savannah State College are regarded as young adults who are
capable of making mature decisions, with minimum counseling, about their
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.

Students who withdraw after the midpoint of each quarter (see Academic
Calendar in this catalog and the quarterly Schedule of Classes) will receive the
grade of "WF" except in cases of hardship as approved by the academic dean in
consultation with the Vice President for Student Affairs. Students should ini-
tially petition the Vice President for Student Affairs for relief due to extenuating
circumstances resulting in undue hardship.

The Vice President for Student Affairs, counselors, and advisers will counsel
with the student in an effort to determine whether the circumstances are such
that the College can provide a remedy which will make it possible for the student
to remain in school. If such remedy cannot be afforded, the Dean of Students,
or his designated representative, will formally approve the request for with-
drawal and forward the appropriate forms to the offices of the Academic Vice
President, the Director of Admissions and Records, and the Vice President for
Business and Finance.

43

President, the Director of Admissions and Records, and the Vice President for
Business and Finance.

Students not able to follow this procedure should write or have a representative
write to the Dean of Students, requesting permission to withdraw. Students who
withdraw without giving formal notice will forfeit claims for any refunds.

THE LAST DAY TO WITHDRAW FROM ALL CLASSES FOR THE
QUARTER WILL BE THE LAST DAY OF SCHEDULED CLASSES.

ACCESS TO STUDENT RECORDS

Savannah State College is covered by the Family Educational Rights and
Privacy Act of 1974, as amended (FERPA), which is designed to protect the
student's rights with regard to education records maintained by the institution.
Under the Act, the student has the following rights:

1. to inspect and review education records maintained by the institution
that pertain to the student,

2. to challenge the content of records (except grades which can only be
challenged through the academic appeal procedure) on the ground that
they are inaccurate, misleading or a violation of privacy or other rights;
and

3. to control disclosures from educational records with certain exceptions.

Savannah State College's written policy on "Access to Student Records" com-
plies with the provisions of the Act. A copy of this policy and a copy of a summary
of the FERPA regulations may be obtained in the Admissions and Records Office.
Students also have the right to file complaints with the FERPA Office of the
Department of Education, Washington, D.C. 20201, regarding alleged violations
of the Act.

RELEASE OF DIRECTORY INFORMATION

Directory information will be treated as public information and be generally
available on all students and former students, at the discretion of the College.

Directory information includes the student's name; address; telephone num-
ber, date and place of birth, major field of study; participation in officially rec-
ognized activities and sports, height, weight, age, hometown, hobbies and general
interest items of members of athletic teams; dates of attendance; degrees applied
for or received; honors and awards received; and previous educational institu-
tions attended by the student.

Any student, or parent of a student who is under eighteen (18), may refuse
to permit the release of any or all of the categories of directory information until
the end of each academic year (end of Spring Quarter), by submitting a written
request to the College's Director of Admissions and Records within ten (10) days
of the beginning of any academic quarter during which the student is enrolled.
This time requirement is necessary to insure that directory information which
is withheld is not included in the various college publications during the year.
Of course, requests to withhold the release of directory information will be ho-

44

nored at any time, but the college cannot be reasonably certain that some di-
rectory information will not be released if the aforementioned time limits are
not met. The Student Directory is usually published during the Fall Quarter;
obviously, requests received after press time cannot delete information from this
and similar publications, and previously released information cannot be recalled.

Inquiries from news media about students or former students should be di-
rected to the Director of Public Relations. Due to the unpredictable nature and
immediacy of media inquiries, notice cannot be given of media releases (non-
athletic). Any student or former student who wishes to have directory infor-
mation withheld should notify the Director of Public Relations prior to the an-
ticipated date of any media inquiry.

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, 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.

45

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.

GEORGIA INTERN PROGRAM

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

THE LIBRARY

The Asa Gordon library houses 143,044 catalogued volumes, 24,263 bound
periodicals, and over 416,050 microforms. Current subscriptions include 700
periodicals and 20 newspapers. Approximately 2,000 volumes are added yearly
to keep the collection up to date. There is an extensive collection of materials
by and about Black Americans. A vast array of A-V materials, (calculators,
television monitors, film and slide projectors, etc) is also housed in the library.

The circular, air conditioned, two story structure was occupied in January of
1977. Conference and individual study rooms are located throughout the build-
ing. There are an elevator and facilities for the handicapped. Periodical sub-
scriptions and the circulation area are located on the first floor. On the second
floor are located Reference, Audiovisuals, the Negro Collection and the class-
room. Typing facilities are on both floors and smoking is permitted in the smoking
lounge.

47

It is the policy of the library to try to supply, either by purchase or through
interlibrary loan, the materials needed by students, staff or faculty.

A well prepared staff is available to assist the campus community at all times.

to the Cashier's Office of the student's original receipt, if issued, or cancelled
check, money order, or registration card.

REFUND PROCEDURES

Students who are ill at home or are otherwise unable to follow the official
procedure for withdrawing should write or have someone write to the Vice Pres-
ident for Student Affairs requesting permission to withdraw.

No refund of fees for any term will be authorized unless the foregoing procedure

DEGREE AND GRADUATION
REQUIREMENTS

EXIT EXAMINATIONS

Additional competency tests appropriate to a student's program of study may
be required by the College, and by the student's academic department prior to
graduation. Information relative to these tests is available in the student's ac-
ademic department.

Any student failing to demonstrate required proficiency on any competency
test may be required to complete such additional courses as are necessary to
correct the deficiency. Courses required and completed under this provision may
be with or without academic credit and may be required without regard to prior
course credits in these disciplines.

GRADUATION

A degree will be awarded only to students who meet the standards of per-
formance, academic requirements, and residence requirements of an academic
school. Degrees are conferred formally at commencement exercises at the end
of the spring quarter.

APPLICATION FOR GRADUATION

All candidates for a degree must file a formal application for graduation with
the Admissions and Records Office. Associate degree candidates should apply
in the quarter in which they expect to attain their sixtieth credit hour or in the
third quarter preceding their expected graduation date, whichever comes first.
Baccalaureate candidates should apply in the quarter in which they expect to
attain their one hundred and thirty-fifth credit hour or in the fourth quarter
preceding their expected graduation date, whichever comes first. Graduate de-
gree candidates must apply at least two quarters in advance of the expected
date of graduation. The Office of Admissions and Records will inform the stu-
dent's academic department when the application is filed. The student's major
department will conduct an audit and inform the student of any remaining
requirements. The Office of Admissions and Records conducts an independent
audit to insure that all degree requirements will have been satisfied.

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR THE
BACCALAUREATE DEGREE

1. A minimum of 185 quarter hours,including health, physical education,
and orientation.

2. A scholastic average of 2.0 or higher.

3. Satisfactory completion of the minimum requirements of the Core Cur-
riculum as outlined for Area I, II, and III, and in the specific degree
programs for Area IV.

53

no grade below "C" in major, minor, or special subject requirements. Cer-
tain major courses must be taken in residence at this College.

7. Residence of at least one year at Savannah State College. Students are
required to spend the senior year in residence.

8. Completion of all the above requirements within eight calendar years. The
College reserve the right to allow exceptions to the requirements when
recommended by the head of the department in which the student is
majoring.

NOTE:

Graduation requirements include a 2.00 minimum graduation grade point av-
erage for undergraduate degrees. The computation of this graduation grade point
average will employ only the final attempt in courses which have been repeated.
With the preceding exception, the graduation grade point average will be com-
puted in the manner prescribed in The Grading System and Cumulative Grade
Point Average sections of the General Catalog. Credits earned in other insti-
tutions or by examination, and courses which carry S/U grades, are not used in
computing the graduation grade point average.

All incomplete grades for previous quarters must be received in the Admissions
and Records Office in writing thirty (30) days prior to graduation date or com-
pletion of academic requirements. It is the student's responsibility to see to it
that incomplete grades are properly recorded in the appropriate offices.

Noncurrent quarter course grades from colleges other than Savannah State
College must be in the Admissions and Records Office by the last day of regis-
tration of the quarter of graduation.

REGENTS' TESTING PROGRAM

The policy of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia requires
that each institution administer an examination to assess the competency level
in reading and writing of all students enrolled in undergraduate degree programs
in University System institutions. The Regents' Policy statement appears below:

Each institution of the University System of Georgia shall assure the
other institutions, and the System as a whole, that students obtaining
a degree from that institution possess literacy competence, that is,
certain minimum skills of reading and writing.

The Regents' Testing Program has been developed to help in the at-
tainment of this goal. The objectives of the Testing Program are: (1) to

54

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 denned 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.

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

55

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.

56

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.

57

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.

Federal Financial Aid Programs
(Title IV Programs)

Federal Financial Aid Programs are administered by the Financial Aid Office
at Savannah State College. It is a basic principle that each student shall be
helped as an individual with consideration of his own unique situation, circum-
stances, and need. The primary purpose of the Financial Aid Office is to provide
financial assistance to students who, without such aid would be unable to attend
Savannah State College. If you are enrolled or accepted for enrollment and are
a citizen or permanent resident of the United States, you are eligible to apply
for assistance under the following programs:

A. Pell Grant Program Pell Grants provide a "foundation" of financial
aid, to which aid from other Federal and non-Federal sources may be
added. You may apply if you are an undergraduate on at least a half-time
basis. Pell Grants range from $25 to $2300, 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 3^our enrollment status, to
determine the actual amount of your grant. The Pell Grant Program is
an entitlement program. It does not have to paid back.

B. Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant Program SEOG is for
undergraduates with exceptional financial need (with priority given to
Pell Grant recipients), and it does not have to be paid back.

C. College Work Study CWS provides jobs for undergraduate and graduate
students who need financial aid and who must earn a part of their edu-
cational expenses. Jobs are arranged on and off campus with a public or
private non-profit agency. Students are employed for as many as 40 hours
a week between quarter break periods. During regular enrollment periods
students may work up to 20 hours a week.

D. Perkins Loan Program Perkins Loan is a low interest (5 percent) loan
for both undergraduate and graduate students and is made through the
Financial Aid Office. The College is the lender.

You must repay the Perkins Loan. Repayment begins nine months after
you graduate or leave school for other reasons. During the repayment

59

period you will be charged 5 per cent interest on the unpaid balance of
the loan principle.

Under certain conditions repayment of the Perkins Loan may be de-
ferred or canceled. You should contact the financial aid administrator for
more details.

E. Stafford Loan Program The Stafford Loan is a low interest loan made
by a lender such as a bank, credit union, or saving and loan association.
The loan is insured by the guarantee agency in each state and reinsured
by the Federal Government.

You must repay the Stafford Loan. Repayment begins 6 months after
you graduate, leave school, or drop below half-time.

The maximum you can borrow as an undergraduate who has not suc-
cessfully completed the first and second years of undergraduate study is
$2625. For undergraduates who have completed the first and second years,
but have not completed their undergraduate program the maximum is
$4000. Graduate and professional students can borrow up to $7500.

To be considered for Federal student aid you must complete the College
Scholarship Service's Financial Aid Form (FAF) and the Savannah State
College Application for Financial Aid.

STANDARDS OF SATISFACTORY

ACADEMIC

PROGRESS FOR STUDENTS RECEIVING

FEDERAL STUDENT AID FUNDS

(Title IV)

I. Introduction

The Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended by Congress in 1989, 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 Incentive
Grants, College Work-Study Awards, Perkins Loan, and the Stafford Loan.

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
or requirements that meet the College's scholastic standards for continued
enrollment.

III. Satisfactory Academic Progress Standards

A student who received aid prior to July 1, 1987 and is enrolled in a program
that is longer than 2 years, is eligible to receive financial aid as long as he is
eligible for continued enrollment, according to the academic standards stated in
the Savannah State College Bulletin (Stages of Progress/Minimum Cumulative
Grade Point Average).

If a student received Federal student aid for the first time on or after July 1,
1987 and is enrolled in a program that is longer than 2 years, the student must
be maintaining a "C" average by the end of his second academic year or study
in order to continue receiving financial aid. A student must continue to maintain
satisfactory progress for the rest of his course of study.

A student who has lost his financial aid eligibility because of noncompliance
to the Satisfactory Academic Progress Standards may regain his eligibility after
one quarter without aid in which he must earn at least a 2.0 grade point average
in at least 10 quarter hours.

A readmitted student who has been suspended for academic reasons must, in
the first quarter after readmittance, 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.

IV. Appeal of Financial Aid Suspension

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. 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.

62

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.

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:

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.

63

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.

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, 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 experi-
encing 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 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.

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.

ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS

All applicants for admission to the MBA Program are required to take the
Graduate Management Admissions Test (GMAT). This test is administered at
Savannah State College and at other testing centers once each quarter. The test
is designed to measure aptitude for graduate study in business and is not a
measure of knowledge in specific subjects. Therefore, applicants should not delay
taking this examination simply because they have not had specific course work
in business. A maximum of three attempts for a passing score on the GMAT is
allowed for entrance to the MBA at Savannah State College. The Educational
Testing Service (ETS) bulletin describing the test is available from the MBA
Coordinator's Office.

CATEGORIES OF ADMISSION

Regular Admission
(A Degree Status Classification)

Definition

Regular Admission means that a student has met all admission requirements
and is admitted to a degree program with full graduate status.

Requirements

To qualify for admission to full graduate status in the MBA program, appli-
cants must show competence in the business common body 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
course work. The preparatory requirements may be met by satisfactory com-
pletion of not less than one course (equivalent to 5 quarter hours or 3 semester
hours) in each of the following areas:

Accounting (Principles)

Business Law (Legal Environment)

Economics (Micro and Macro Principles)

Finance (Business, Corporate, or Managerial)

Information Systems (Introduction to)

Management/Marketing (Principles)

Quantitative/Production (Quantitative Applications in Prod.)

Statistics (Business and Economic)

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

83

scores; or at least 1000 points based on the formula: 200 times the upper
division GPA plus the GMAT total scores.

Special Admission
(Pre-MBA Status)

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
System of Georgia.

TRANSFER OF GRADUATE CREDITS

A maximum of 25 percent (15 quarter hours) of graduate credit may be trans-
ferred from another institution, provided:

1. each course equates with a course in the curriculum of the MBA Program
or is an acceptable elective;

2. the credit was earned in an accredited graduate program;

3. a grade of "B" or better was earned in each course;

4. the credit was earned no more than six years prior to completion of all
degree requirements.

84

PROCEDURES FOR PROCESSING TRANSFER

CREDITS

Requests by students to receive transfer graduate credit must be supported
by two copies of the graduate transcript showing the transfer credits requested.
The formal and final request for receiving transfer credits is part of the Appli-
cation for Candidacy which the student must process upon the completion of 25
hours of graduate work. This application is obtained in the MBA Coordinator's
Office.

Advisement on transfer of credits is routinely provided on the Program of
Study form which every degree-seeking student must complete with an adviser
in the first quarter of enrollment. Formal approval of transfer credits is granted
via the student's Application for Candidacy which requires approval by the
student's adviser and the MBA Coordinator.

ACADEMIC STANDARDS

MBA students must maintain a grade point average of 3.0 or above for all
graduate work.

The following criteria apply to all degree categories: (1) Grades of lower than
"C" will not receive graduate credit; (2) a maximum of two "C's" may be applied
to the degree; (3) a student receiving two "C's" or one "F" shall have his/her
record reviewed by the MBA Coordinator and the Graduate Council to determine
if the student is to be permitted to remain in a degree-status category; (4) a
student receiving two "F's" or any three grades below "B" becomes ineligible for
a graduate degree; (5) Any Regular Admission student who has less than a 3.0
average after completing 25 or more hours shall be required to achieve grades
of "B" or better in all courses in order to achieve a 3.0 average to return to
regular admission.

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
status should carefully plan his/her course load in consultation with the adviser.

WITHDRAWING, DROPPING, AND ADDING

COURSES

Withdrawing is, in the technical sense, dropping all courses and processing a
formal withdrawal through the Office of the MBA Coordinator which issues a
withdrawal form. A student may withdraw from school at any time during the
quarter. Only by formally withdrawing, however, can a student become eligible
for the refund of fees as explained in the College Catalog. The student bears the
responsibility of contacting the Coordinator's Office to officially drop a course
and obtain the singature of his/her professor. Course withdrawals before mid-
term are recorded as "W"; any course withdrawals after midterm are "F".

Adding a course may be accomplished through the Registrar's Office which
will process a drop/add slip. Courses may be added only during the late regis-

85

tration days at the beginning of the quarter and not at any other time during
the quarter. The student must pay the appropriate fee for the additional course,
unless a course comparable in credit hours is being dropped simultaneously.

ADVISEMENT

Upon admission to the graduate program, each student will be assigned a
faculty adviser. The faculty adviser will approve the scheduling of course work,
recommend the student for candidacy, and serve as chairman of the student's
comprehensive examination committee.

COURSE REQUIREMENTS

The Master of Business Administration program requires 45 quarter hours of

and at least two weeks prior to graduation, is required of all candidates for the
Degree of Master of Business Administration. The final examination will be
conducted by a committee consisting of the student's faculty adviser as chairman
and other members of the graduate faculty appointed by the MBA Coordinator.

N.B. Alexander Stoddart and William A. Wood, nationally recognized media
experts, are frequently employed as part-time instructors in mass communica-
tions.

The Department of Humanities offers courses leading to the baccalaureate
degree (B.A.) in two areas: English language and literature and mass commu-
nications. Minor programs in English, mass communications, and religious and
philosophical studies are available. The Department promotes an extensive,
interdisciplinary approach that encourages investigation in cognate areas and
allows for individualization of interests and pursuit and prepares the student
for graduate study and career development.

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 appreciation of his/her personal identity and social
heritage. Such awareness and appreciation should cultivate in the student a
quality of mind marked by analytical, constructive, imaginative, and creative
inquiry and thought. To foster the development of such intellectual and humane
capabilities, the Department helps the student by promoting: (1) oral and written
proficiency in English, including an appreciation for linguistic plurality; (2) 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, integrated humanities, 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
encourages the student to utilize resources and opportunities of the proximate
urban area as well as to share with it his/her 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.

CURRICULA FOR MAJORS IN MASS COMMUNICATIONS

The Mass Communications Degree Program offers the student who is inter-
ested in a professional communications career a unique opportunity to obtain
extraordinary career flexibility.

105

The program which leads to the B.A. degree, allows the student the option of
concentrating in one of the following areas: news-editorial (newspapers and
magazines); electronic media (radio and television), media management, and
the performing arts.

Enriched knowledge and understanding of the nature, circumstances, and
aspirations of people are derived from historical, literary, social, philosophical,
and theological studies, which are traditionally called humanistic. Therefore,
the mass communications program utilizes these disciplines to assist students
in the development of basic insights into human nature and in the acquisition
of humanistic principles upon which the media must rest.

Emphasis is also placed on the importance of acquiring valuable practical
experience. Students majoring in mass communications are required to obtain
"hands-on" experience by working at one of the communications facilities on
campus (Office of Public Relations, the Media Resources Center, or at WHCJ-
FM Educational Radio Station), or at a radio or t.v. station, or newspaper within
the city of Savannah. Internships in advertising, public relations, and public
information are also available. After obtaining permission from the internship
coordinator, a student may opt to do an internship with a communications or-
ganization outside of the city of Savannah. A student who has acquired sub-
stantial experience (minimum of two years) at an approved media organization
may apply to waive the internship requirement without credit. Application forms
are available in the office of the program director.

Additionally, students are provided with the opportunity to further enhance
their skills by working as volunteers at WHCJ-FM Radio, and by working on
the staff of the College newspaper, the Tiger's Roar.

Every student enrolled in the program is required to take six mass commu-
nications core courses: COM 110, Introduction to Mass Communications; COM
200, Basic News Writing; ENG 201, Principles of Speech; COM 215, Writing for
Radio and T.V.; COM 312, Public Relations Practices, and COM 492, Professional
Media Internship.

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
subject examinations of the College Level Examination Program (CLEP).
The CLEP examinations are available through the testing service of the
College.

Academic credit earned in preparatory course work will not count for the total
hours required for the MPA degree.

146

TRANSIENT STUDENT

(Special Nondegree Status)

Transient students must arrange to have written authorization sent to the
Dean from their dean, department head, or registrar at the graduate school in
which they are enrolled in order to be accepted as a transient student and register
in the 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.

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
System of Georgia.

TRANSFER OF GRADUATE CREDITS

A maximum of 15 quarter hours of graduate credit may be transferred from
another institution, provided:

1. each course equates with a course in the curriculum of the MPA Program
or is an acceptable elective;

2. the credit was earned in an accredited graduate program;

3. a grade of "B" or better was earned in each course;

4. the credit was earned no more than six years prior to completion of all
degree requirements.

PROCEDURES FOR PROCESSING TRANSFER

CREDITS

Requests by students to receive transfer graduate credit must be supported
by two copies of the graduate transcript showing the transfer credits requested.
The formal and final request for receiving transfer credits is part of the 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.

147

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.

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.

148

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 ENGINEERS

DEPARTMENT OF MILITARY SCIENCE

(ROTC)

CAPTAIN KEITH MERRELL, Head
Master Sergeant George McAdams

Angie Lewis, Secretary

General

The Department of Military Science is a Senior Division Reserve Officer Train-
ing Corps (ROTC), Instructor Group, staffed by active army personnel. The
Armstrong State department provides a curriculum available to Savannah State
students that qualifies the college graduate for a commission as an officer in the
United States Army, United States Army Reserve, or the United States Army
National Guard. Qualifying for a commission added an extra dimension to the
student's employment capability in that upon graduation from college, the stu-
dent has either military or civilian employment options.

The course of study offered in military science is designed not only to prepare
the student for service as a commissioned officer in the United States Army but
also to provide knowledge and practical experience in leadership and manage-
ment 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 advance 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. Regardless of the branch selected, all officers will receive valuable ex-
perience in management, logistics and administration. Graduates may be
granted a delay in reporting for duty for graduate study if requested. A small
number of outstanding students are designated Distinguished Military Gradu-
ates and are offered commissions in the Regular Army each year.

Basic Military Service

Basic military science courses involve six quarters during the freshmen and
sophomore years. The student learns leadership and management and acquires
essential background knowledge of customs and traditions, weapons, map read-
ing, tactics and survival. Equally important, these courses have the objective of
developing the student's leadership, self-discipline, integrity and sense of re-
sponsibility.

231

Advanced Military Science

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 equivalent thereof, is a prerequisite to admission
into the advanced program.

Placement

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 basic
ROTC and meeting the entrance and retention requirements established
by the Army.

(b) to be an active duty veteran or junior ROTC cadet graduate eligible for
placement credit.

Alternate Programs for Admittance

Students with two years of coursework remaining, but who have not completed
basic military science are eligible to be considered for selection into the advanced
military science program. Those selected under the provisions of the two-year
advanced program must satisfactorily complete a basic summer camp of six
weeks duration prior to entering the advanced program. 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. Attendance at Basic Camp
is voluntary and incurs no military obligation until the student returns and
decides to sign a contract to pursue a commission.

Participating Students and Aliens

Some students and aliens may participate in the Advanced Course classes
provided they meet the requirements outlined in Army Regulations. They receive
no subsistence allowance and may only participate in classroom instruction. For
specific details on this program, see the Department Head before registering
for a course.

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 Riley, Kansas. Students attending this camp are paid at active
army rates and given travel allowance from their home to camp and return.

232

Financial Assistance

All contracted 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 Army officers. The Army pays tuition, fees, books and
laboratory expenses incurred by the scholarship student. In addition, each stu-
dent receives $100 per month for the academic year. Individuals desiring to
compete for these scholarships should apply to the Military Science Department.

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.

(MIL) Courses

The basic course of six quarters duration consists of two hours of classroom
work per week. In the classroom, the student acquires knowledge of military
leadership weapons, tactics, basic military skills, and physical fitness. In field
training exercises, potential for leadership is progressively developed.

The advanced course consists of three hours of classroom work and one hour
of leadership laboratory per week. During the spring quarter prior to advanced
camp the student will enroll in MIL 303 to prepare for attendance at Advance
Camp. History 201 (American Military History) is normally taken the spring
quarter of the senior year. The coursework during the advanced course empha-
sizes techniques of management and leadership and the fundamentals and dy-
namics of the military team. Field training exercises provide the student with
applied leadership experiences.

Minor Concentration

The department offers a minor in Military Science. The program is designed
to prepare the student for a commission in the United States Army and is offered
to, but not required of, those students participating in the advanced course of
Army ROTC instruction. Whatever the major, a Military Science minor will
strengthen the student's management, leadership, and interpersonal commu-
nication skills. The minor requires:

Fourteen credit hours with grades of "C" or better in the following upper
division military science courses: 301, 302, 303, 401, 402, 403, HIS 201 and five

ADMISSION

Entering freshmen whose Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) scores are less than
750 and those above 750 with SAT verbal or SAT math less than 350 or whose
ACT composite scores are less than 16 or above 16 and less than 16 on the
English and 11 on the math must take the Collegiate Placement Examination
(CPE). College-wide cut off scores on the aforementioned tests in conjunction
with other standard and locally constructed instruments are utilized to deter-
mine exemption from the placement into the Developmental Studies courses.
CPE cut off scores for exemption and exit effective Fall 1988 are: English - 75,
Math - 75, Reading - 75.

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
portion of the Collegiate Placement Examination (CPE) was lower than the
passing score given above. Such students must take all Developmental Studies
courses (courses numbered 99 or below).

The philosophy of the Development Studies Program is that although there
are slow learners and fast learners, when provided with favorable learning
conditions, most students become very cimilar with regard to learning ability,
rate of learning, and motivation for further learning. The Program supports and
is committed to the contention that "high risk" students possess strengths that
should be developed and weaknesses that can be remediated. In order to facilitate
this growth and development, each of the three components of Savannah State's
Program of Developmental Studies has created objectives designed to promote
the overall mission of the Program and the College. They are: (1) to correct and
strengthen oral and written communicative skills since the former impacts upon
the latter; (2) to correct the mathematical deficiencies of developmental studies
students; and, (3) to provide reading instruction for those students who lack
academic proficiency. These objectives are based on the desire of Development
Studies' faculty and staff to support the students pursuit of academic excellence
and life survival skills.

A student shall not be allowed more than four quarters of four attemps to
complete deficiencies. A student who fails to successfully exit any one or more
courses within the four quarters or four attemps limitation shall be excluded

236

from Savannah State College and any other unit of the University System of
Georgia for one quarter. This exclusion does include summer quarter. A student
who fails to complete all Developmental Studies requirements within one quarter
of re-entry, after the first exclusion, shall be excluded for one year (four quarters).

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 Developmental Studies requirements are successfully com-
pleted.

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 only will be awarded.

Retesting any Fourth quarter students who passes an exit level course and
fails to pass the Collegiate Placement Examination (CPE) will be given one
opportunity to retest at the end of that quarter. Any student who passes a
Developmental Studies Course, but who fails the CPE by three points will be
given one opportunity to retest at the end of that quarter.

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 = 70- 74

Final Grades will be S, IP, U, F

1. A grade of S indicates that a student successfully completed the course,
has met all requirements in the subject area, (including, attaining the
state-required score on the CPE 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 D indicates that a student has passed the exit level course, but
failed the CPE and must repeat the course.

5. 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.

237

DESCRIPTION OF COURSES

ENG 097. English Fundamentals I - Grammar.

English 097 is a comprehensive course in basic grammar and sentence mechanics
with emphasis on paragraph writing. This course is designed for entering stu-
dents who scored below 70 on the CPE. To complete this course, students must
satisfy class requirements and pass a paragraph writing sample. Students meet-
ing these requirements will enroll in English 098 during the next quarter of
matriculation, and those failing the requirements will repeat English 097. How-
ever, students who passed the Placement Writing Sample and who are in good
standing will have the opportunity to sit for the post-CPE at the end of the
quarter. Students scoring 75 or better will have completed all English require-
ments and will enroll in college freshman English during the next quarter of
matriculation, and those scoring below 75 will enroll in English 098 for additional
remediation.

ENG 098. English Fundamentals II - Composition.

English 098 offers instruction in outlining and prewriting, developing the mul-
tiparagraph essay building vocabulary, and improving sentence skills. A labo-
ratory oriented course, it provides learning situations in both the classroom and
Writing Lab. This course is designed for students who passed English 097 but
who need an additional course to satisfy English requirements. It is also designed
for entering students who fall into any of the three folloiwng categories: (1) failed
the Placement Writing Sample and failed CPE with a score of 70-74, (2) passed
the Placement Writing Sample but failed CPE with a score of 70-74, or (3) failed
the Placement Writing Sample but passed the CPE with a score of 75 or better.
To exit this course, students must satisfy class requirements and pass the Exit
Writing Sample and post-CPE (or whichever comparable portions they failed at
Placement). Students needing both portions of the exit exams must pass the
exit Writing Sample before sitting for the CPE. Students satisfying English
requirements will enroll in college freshman English during the next quarter of
matriculation. Students failing class requirements or any portion of the exit
exams will repeat English 098.

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 effect, problems and solutions, summarizing, fact and opin-
ion, bias/viepoint, persuasion, relevance/proof, setting/tone/theme, and character
and feelings. A student who scores below 70 on the reading portion of the CPE
will be placed in this course. Writing assignments are an integral part of this
course. Subsequent placement in RDG 098 will be determined by the exit re-
quirements for this course.

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. A student who scores above 70 on
the reading portion of the CPE will be placed in this course. Writing assignments
and laboratory assignments are an integral part of this course.

subtraction, multiplication, and division of polynomials. The course is designed
to give students a working knowledge of arithmetic and introduce some key
elementary algebra concepts.

A student who scores below 70 on the Math CPE will be placed in this course.

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