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 two-year
units. 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 Education; Re-
search.

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 in-
stitution 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, mathe-
matics and natural sciences, and social sciences and 30 in the student's chosen
major area of study. It facilitates the transfer of freshman and sophomore degree
credits within the University System.

Instruction is conducted by all institutions.

PUBLIC SERVICE/CONTINUING EDUCATION consists of non-degree activ-
ities, primarily, and special types of college-degree-credit courses.

The non-degree activities are of several types, including short courses, semi-
nars, conferences, lectures, and consultative and advisory services, in a large
number of areas of interest.

Non-degree public service/continuing education is conducted by all institutions.

Typical college-degree-credit public service/continuing education courses are
those offered through extension center programs and teacher education consor-
tiums.

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

13

some cases, non-programmatic activities in other cases. They are conducted on
campuses at many off-campus locations.

The research investigations cover a large number and a large variety of matters
related to the educational objectives of the institutions and to general societal
needs.

Most of the research is conducted through the universities; however, some of
it is conducted through several of the senior colleges.

The policies of the Board of Regents for the government, management, and
control of the University System and the administrative actions of the Chancellor
provide autonomy of high degree for each institution. The executive head of each
institution is the President, whose election is recommended by the Chancellor
and approved by the Board.

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 fol-
lowing 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 In-
dustrial College for Colored Youths," and its faculty consisted of Major Wright
as President, instructors in English, mathematics, and natural sciences, a super-
intendent 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 Trus-
tees 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 discontin-
ued and the school became a four-year college. In 1931, when the University
System was placed under a Board of Regents, the College began to offer additional
bachelor's degree programs with majors in English, the natural sciences, social
sciences, and business administration, as well as in agriculture and home eco-
nomics.

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 fac-
ulty was strengthened, and improvements were made in the physical plant.
Among the programs that were launched at this time were the Alumni Scholar-
ship Drive, Campus Chest, Annual Men's Day, Religious Emphasis Week, Fresh-
men Week, and the Cultural Artists Series. Expanded programs of students

17

personnel services, public relations, a reading clinic, and an audio visual aids
laboratory were instituted under the leadership of President Colston.

Dean W. K. Payne became acting president of the college on September 1, 1949.
The Regents of the University System of Georgia changed the name of the College
from Georgia State College to Savannah State College on .January 18, 1950. Dr.
Payne became the fifth President of the college in March 19bl); he^erveoMn 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 insti-
tution was admitted to membership in the Southern Association of Colleges and
Schools. In addition, the academic program of the College was organized under
seven divisions Business Administration, Education, Humanities, Natural Sci-
ences, 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 initi-
ated in all aspects of the College's development. Curricula improvements in the
general education program in teacher education, and in business administration,
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 edu-
cational 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 ac-
credited by the Engineers' Council for Professional Developments in 1973. Pres-
ident 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 Col-
lege's resources and employing them to meet more effectively the rising aspira-
tions of Black Americans and other disadvantaged persons for a richer and more
rewarding life. Dr. Jackson served until March 27, 1978, when he was succeeded
by Dr. Clyde W. Hall, who at the time of his appointment as acting president was
chairman of the Division of Technical Sciences.

In September 1979, due to the desegregation plan mandated by the Department
of Health, Education and Welfare, the faculty and students in the Division of
Education at Savannah State College were transferred to Armstrong State Col-
lege and Savannah State College received the faculty and students in the Division
of Business from Armstrong State College in a historic program swap. This pro-
gram swap resulted in the creation of a new School of Business at Savannah State
College during the 1979-80 academic year.

18

Additionally, on April 13, 1980 the Board of Regents of the University System
of Georgia approved a new Administrative organization plan for Savannah State
College for 1980-81. Under the plan Savannah State was reorganized into three
schools Business, Humanities and Social Sciences, and Sciences and Technol-
ogy. On September 15, 1980, Dr. Wendell G. Rayburn became the eighth presi-
dent 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 graduate 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 Sa-
vannah State College. Dr. Bolden served as acting president until August 31,
1989.

Building Facilities

and

Landscape Development

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 and Hammond
Hall are 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 Learn-
ing 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
( I960} 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 Gymnasium
Complex Physical Education, the Marine Biology Building (1989); and, the
School of Business Building (1989).

19

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
Bookstore.

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. Ad-
jacent to the new library is the Helen Adele Whiting Hall. This building houses
the Developmental Studies Department. 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 accommoda-
tions. Camilla Hall (1938) has been converted to married student housing. Wright
Hall (1951), a former male dormitory, is being utilized as a female dormitory.
The studio for FM radio station WHCJ is also in Wright Hall.

The new addition to the Student Center, will provide office space for the Vice
President for Student Affairs, a President's private dining room, snack bar with
seating capacity of 134, a theater with seating capacity of 538, and game room
facilities.

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.

PURPOSE AND GOALS OF THE

COLLEGE

MISSION STATEMENT:

Chartered by the State of Georgia in 1890 as a department of the State Uni-
versity "for the education and training of Negro students," Savannah State Col-
lege is a senior, residential unit of the University System of Georgia whose
historic mission, while of continuing importance, has broadened to embrace in-
dividuals regardless of race, ethnicity, culture, or age. Central to this mission is
a commitment to accessibility and excellence. Within guidelines established by
the Board of Regents, the College encourages applications from all who are in-
terested in pursuing higher education and admits students with varying levels of
college preparedness. Through its devotion to teaching, the College endeavors to
produce graduates who can effectively compete with their counterparts from
other institutions for employment in business, industry, human services, com-
munications, government, and the military; who succeed in post baccalaureate
education, evidence broad intellect, uphold democratic principles and values, re-
spect individual and cultural differences, and promote social justice.

Believing that a strong liberal arts foundation enhances career preparation and
promotes lifelong learning, the College requires students to complete a core cur-
riculum in the humanities, the sciences, and the social sciences in addition to the
requirements of their chosen fields of study. In the context of a nurturing envi-
ronment the College seeks to utilize the abundant possibilities for experiential
and service learning, the challenging potential of recent technology, and the rich-
ness of world cultures to enhance students' learning, to respond to their differing
cognitive styles, to help them meaningfully link past, present and future, and to
prepare them for meeting the challenges of the global community.

The College purports to develop and implement curricular, co-curricular, re-
search, and public service activities that collectively address problems, issues,
resources, and opportunities of the coastal area, the state, the nation and the
larger world. Additionally, as a historically Black institution, Savannah State
College is a unique cultural resource for the coastal region and as such endeavors
to interpret and transmit the Black legacy to all.

Currently the College pursues its mission through efforts to achieve the fol-
lowing goals:

1. To prepare undergraduate students in the areas of business, the humani-
ties, the sciences, the social sciences, and technology for careers and/or
advanced study;

2. To prepare graduate students for careers in business, public administra-
tion, and social work. Savannah State College's three graduate programs,
in business, in public administration and in social work, are offered in
affiliation with the Georgia Southern Regional University which grants all
graduate degrees. This affiliate arrangement was approved by the Board of
Regents of the University System of Georgia, effective July 1, 1990.

3. To introduce students to the content, structure, and methods of inquiry in
the broad fields of knowledge;

21

4. To strengthen students' basic skills in communications, quantitative think-
ing and independent study;

5. To cultivate in students habits of critical thinking and problem solving;

6. To increase students' social competence in multi-racial, multi-ethnic, and
multi-cultural settings;

7. To deepen students' commitment to advocacy for human welfare and hu-
man rights;

8. To offer learning opportunities for students with potential who might not
ordinarily seek higher education.

9. To foster students' personal-social development in respect to physical fit-
ness and wellness; personal effectiveness habits, human relations skills;
and appreciation of the arts;

10. To implement a support system for students which includes financial aid,
counseling, tutoring, job placement and follow-up;

11. To provide activities, programs, and services and to share personnel and
physical facilities to help meet community and regional needs for education,
recreation, entertainment, cultural events, technical assistance, and eco-
nomic development;

12. To encourage faculty research and scholarly and creative efforts to help
solve problems in surrounding communities and/or to contribute to the
academic disciplines.

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 ac-
cumulation of factual knowledge in these areas, but also as a pursuit of learning,
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

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

Area III. 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

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.

Course (Units)

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.

Social Science (3) emphasis in American History, eco-

nomics and government.

27

Foreign Language (2) two courses in one language empha-

sizing speaking, listening, reading
and writing.

3. The minimum regular admission requirements of Savannah State College
are a combined Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) score of at least 750 (with
a score of not less than 350 on the verbal section and 350 on the mathe-
matics section, or an American College Testing Program (ACT) composite
score of not less than 19 (with a score of not less than 18 on the English
section and 16 on the mathematics section individually).

4. Prior to registration, applicants accepted into the Department of Devel-
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 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 aca-
demic 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 consid-
ered for provisional admission to the College. The following represents the Sa-
vannah 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 Exam-
ination (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 203) core course. Grade of "C" required.

4. Social Science Students graduating with less than three required units of

social science will be required to complete one additional five
quarter hour course (for credit). Students will be advised to take
Geography (SOS 111). Grade of "C" required.

:>

5. Foreign Language Students graduating with less than the two units of
the same foreign language will be required to complete (for credit)
one additional five quarter hours introduction to foreign language
course. Students will be advised to take either French 141, Ger-
man 151 or Spanish 161. Grade of "C" required.
Note: Deficiencies in science, social science, or foreign language should be
satisfied during the student's first quarter of enrollment.

Except as provided in the paragraphs below, College Preparatory
Curriculum deficiencies for native students and those transferring
within the University System of Georgia must be completed before
the student has earned 45 hours of college-level credit. Once these
students have earned 45 hours of college-level credit and have not
satisfied College Preparatory Curriculum deficiencies in science, so-
cial science, or foreign language, they will be limited to enrollment
in deficiency courses and shall not take any other college-level
courses.

Students transferring from outside the University System or from
a program not requiring the College Preparatory Curriculum shall
satisfy any deficiencies immediately upon entering the institution or
degree program, or as soon as possible thereafter, but before the
student earns 45 hours of college-level credit at the institution or in
the new degree program.

Students may satisfy College Preparatory Curriculum deficiencies
with transfer courses which are normally accepted for Core Curric-
ulum transfer in Areas II and III and in which students have re-
ceived a grade of "C" or better. Transfer courses used to satisfy
College Preparatory Curriculum deficiencies will not count toward
the completion of the Core Curriculum or other graduation require-
ments.

Exceptions to the CPC Requirement

1. Any applicant who graduated from high school prior to Spring of 1988 is
exempt from CPC requirements.

2. An applicant applying for any certificate (non-degree) program offered by
Savannah State College is exempt from the CPC requirements.

Conditional Admission

An applicant who qualifies for admission to the College but who does not qualify
for regular admission will be granted conditional admission. A student is condi-
tionally admitted to the College if the SAT score is less than 750 or any part of
the SAT score (verbal or math) is less than 350. A student is conditionally ad-
mitted to the College if the ACT Composite score is less than 19 or ACT English
is less than 18, or ACT Math is less than 16. An applicant who scores less than
250 verbal or 280 mathematics on the SAT (less than 13 on the ACT English or
less than 14 on the ACT math) and has less than a 1.8 high school grade point
average on all academic courses will be denied admission to the College.

All conditionally admitted students must take the Collegiate Placement Ex-
amination (CPE) in order to qualify for regular admission. This examination
should be taken before the student's first registration at the College.

29

Any student placed in a course numbered below 100, either by their SAT (or
ACT) scores, or by the CPE scores, will be considered a conditionally admitted
Developmental Studies student.

Any other courses taken prior to completing and passing appropriate parts of
the CPE must be approved by the Developmental Studies Counselor or by an
advisor within that department.

A student in the Developmental Studies Program must have a schedule of
classes approved by the Counselor in Developmental Studies, or an advisor within
that department each time the student registers.

A conditionally admitted student will exit Developmental Studies in the follow-
ing ways:

1. Passing all required parts of the Collegiate Placement Examination.

2. If any required part of the CPE is not passed, the student will be required
to enroll in the appropriate Developmental Studies course. Upon successful
completion of all required Developmental Studies courses and passing the
CPE, the student will exit Developmental Studies.

A student in Developmental Studies will be given four quarters per area to
successfully exit that area. A student failing to exit an area after four attempts
will be subject to Developmental Studies suspension. Copies of the policies of the
Developmental Studies Program may be obtained from the Developmental Stud-
ies Department office.

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 reading,
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 students'
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 remedia-
tion through appropriate means.

Students who meet Savannah State College requirements for regular admission
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.

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 Developmental
Studies work may be applied toward the fulfillment of these requirements.

TRANSFER STUDENTS

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

1. Transfer students completing high school in the Spring of 1988, or later,
from Non-University System of Georgia institutions will be requested to
submit their high school transcripts as part of their application process
unless they have completed 45 hours of transfer credit in Core Curriculum
(English, math, history, science, social sciences and humanities) courses.
This requirement also applies to students enrolled in University System of
Georgia institutions that do not require the College Preparatory Curricu-
lum for admission.

2. Transfer students completing high school in the Spring of 1988, or later,
transferring from University System of Georgia institutions will maintain
their CPC status as determined by the first University System institution
making the original CPC evaluation.

3. Transfer applicants completing high school prior to Spring of 1988 will
follow the same procedure as freshman applicants except these applicants
will not be required to meet the College Preparatory Curriculum require-
ments. In addition, these applicants who have achieved sophomore standing
at the time of entrance, will not be required to submit their high school
records. Such records may be required by the Office of Admissions, but
normally the transcripts of previous college records will suffice in place of
the high school record. Transfer applicants must ask the Registrar, of each
college they have previously attended, to mail an official transcript of their
records to the Office of Admissions at Savannah State College, regardless
of the transferability of the credits.

4. Transfer applicants will not be considered for admission unless he/she is
academically eligible to return to the college or university last attended, or
unless the officials of the institution last attended recommended the ap-
plicant's admission.

5. Transfer applicants will be considered for admission to Savannah State
College if on all work attempted at other institutions, their academic per-
formance as shown by their grade-point-average is equivalent to the min-
imum standard required by Savannah State College students by

31

comparable standing. (See Academic Probation and Suspension Section for
appropriate GPA and required credit hours).

6. Credit will be given for transfer work in which students received a grade
of "C" or above. Credit will also be given for transfer work in which the
students received grades of "D" at University System schools, with the
limitation that no "D" grades will be accepted in ENGLISH, major and
minor courses. College credit will not be allowed for such courses as re-
medial English or remedial mathematics or courses basically of secondary
school level.

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

8. The amount of credit that Savannah State College will allow for work done
in other institutions within a given period of time may not exceed the
normal amount of credit that could have been earned at Savannah State
during that time.

9. Credit allowed for extension, correspondence, CLEP examination or mili-
tary service schools shall not exceed a total of 45 quarter hours.

10. A transfer student who has earned excessive credit in freshman and soph-
omore courses may not be granted credit in excess of 101 quarter hours
below the junior class level.

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

12. 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.

13. The Registrar's Office will provide a preliminary evaluation of Transfer
Credit and the Major Departments will evaluate and provide final approval
for all transfer credit in their Departments.

DEVELOPMENTAL STUDIES
TRANSFER STUDENT POLICY

Conditionally admitted transfer students must meet the same admission re-
quirements as individuals admitted to the College for the first time. A complete
record of the student's past remedial course work and CPE scores must be on
file in the Savannah State College Registrar's Office before the student can be
admitted.

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 ordi-
narily be one who expects to return to the college in which he was previously
enrolled.

32

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
TRANSIENT AT ANOTHER COLLEGE

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
another college. The student must meet the requirements stipulated by the other
college, and, in order to apply the credit toward his or her academic record at
Savannah State, must meet the academic regulations of Savannah State College.
Consult with the Registrar for details prior to enrolling at another institution.

JOINT ENROLLMENT

A student classified by a high school as a senior may apply for the privilege of
enrollment to pursue college credit while attending high school. To be admitted,
the student must satisfy the following:

1. A GPA of at least 3.0.

2. An SAT score of at least 900 (or an ACT composite no less than 23.)

3. A recommendation from the student's counselor or principal.

4. An excellent record in the field for which the student is seeking to enroll.

5. The written consent of parent or guardian (if the student is a minor).

EARLY ADMISSION

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, respon-
sibilities and prohibitions described in this statement are incorporated as a part

of these regulations.

37

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 considered
necessary to combat the ultimate effect of irresponsible disruptive and obstructive
actions by students and faculty which tend to destroy academic freedom and the
institutional structures through which it operates.

In recent years a new and serious problem has appeared on many college cam-
puses in the nation. Some students, faculty members, and others have on occasion
engaged in demonstrations, sit-ins, and other activities that have clearly and
deliberately interfered with the regular orderly operation of the institution con-
cerned. Typically, these actions have been the physical occupation of a building
or campus area for a protracted period of time or the use of verbal or written
obscenities involving indecent or disorderly conduct.

These actions have gone beyond all heretofore recognized bounds of meetings
for discussions, persuasion, or even protest in that: (1) acquiescence to demands
of the demonstrations is the condition for dispersal, and (2) the reasonable and
written directions of institutional officials to disperse have been clearly ignored.
Such activities thus have become clearly recognizable as an action of force, op-
erating outside all established channels on the campus, including that of intel-
lectual debate and persuasion which are at the heart of education.

The Board of Regents is deeply concerned by this new problem. Under the
Constitution of the State of Georgia, under all applicable court rulings, and in
keeping with the tradition of higher education in the United States, the Board is
ultimately responsible for the orderly operation of the several institutions of the
University System and the preservations of academic freedom in these institu-
tions. The Board cannot and will not divest itself of this responsibility.

Of equal or even greater importance, such actions of force as had been described
above destroys the very essence of higher education. This essence is found in the
unhampered freedom to study, investigate, write, speak, and debate on any aspect
or issue of life. This freedom, which reaches its full flowering on college and
university campuses, is an essential part of American democracy, comparable to
the jury system or the electoral process.

For these reasons and in order to respond directly and specifically to this new
problem the Board of Regents, stipulates that any student, faculty member, ad-
ministrator, or employee, acting individually or in concert with others, who
clearly obstructs or disrupts, or attempts to obstruct or disrupt any teaching,
research, administrative, disciplinary or public service activity, or any other ac-
tivity 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 irre-
sponsibility 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

38

campus community from disorderly, disruptive, or obstructive actions which in-
terfere with academic pursuits or teaching learning and other campus activities.

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 wall continue through the quarter.

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 nineteen (19) 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-three (23). 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 or the dean of the school.

THE GRADING SYSTEM

The college uses letters to indicate quality of academic work. A is the highest
grade; D is the lowest passing grade. Grade distinctions and quality points values
are:

Grade Meaning Quality Point Value

A

B

C

D

F

WF

P

IP

V

K

Excellent

4 per credit hour

Good

3 per credit hour

Average

2 per credit hour

Poor

1 per credit hour

Failure

per credit hour

Withdrew, failing

per credit hour

Pass

In Progress

Audit

Credit

39

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 re-
sponsibility to initiate the completion of unfulfilled requirements with the in-
structor.

W (Withdrawal) This symbol indicates that a student was permitted to with-
draw without penalty. Withdrawals without penalty will not be permitted after
the midpoint of the total grading period (including final examinations), except in
cases of hardship as determined by the academic 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. Students may reg-
ister, however, on a credit basis for a course that has previously been audited.

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. "K" Credit may be provided for a course the student has previously
audited if the institutional procedures for credit by examination are followed.

Note:

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

Lecture Lab Credit

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.

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.

Academic Deans provide general direction to the advising program, with de-
partment heads coordinating activities within their respective areas and assigning
advisors to regularly admitted students who have declared a major. If a student
is admitted as a "Provisional" student, Le., with a deficiency in reading, writing,
or mathematics, the student is advised by the faculty of the Department of De-
velopmental Studies as to course load, Developmental Studies regulations, and
College regulations. This advisement continues until the student successfully
exits the Developmental Studies program, at which time he/she is referred to the
Dean of the School in which his/her chosen field resides and is assigned a faculty
advisor in the student's major area by the respective Dean. Students who remain
as undecided majors after exiting the Developmental Studies program are as-
signed by the Registrar to one of the three Academic Deans in such a way that
each Dean will have an equal number of undecided major advisees. The Academic
Deans will assign undecided major advisees to respective faculty by equalizing
the teaching, and faculty/student contact load of each such faculty member. Stu-
dents will continue to be advised in this manner until they select a field of study.

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
appropriateness of the academic program they have selected as well as the ap-
propriateness 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
careers based upon that evaluation.

Advisors of junior and senior students will concern themselves specifically with
the student's progress toward graduation, maintaining a continually updated re-
cord 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 pro-
fessor of the reasons for such absences, and to arrange with the professor the

41

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 pen-
alty therefore. A student may appeal any absence-related decision of a professor
to the department head, to the Dean of the professor's school, and ultimately to
the Vice President for Academic Affairs.

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

Mid-quarter grade reports contain grades for students whose work in a course
is below the C, level at mid-quarter. The Registrar sends copies of such reports
to the students, and to the department heads.

CHANGES IN GRADES

Once a grade has been reported to the Registrar it can be changed only under
the following conditions:

1. 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

Students who feel that they have received an unfair grade in any course should
meet with the instructor within 7 calendar days of the first day of class of the
next quarter (excluding summer) in an effort to effect a resolution. If a resolution

42

satisfactory to the student is not effected, the student may challenge the grade
by writing a letter of appeal within 7 days after meeting with the instructor to
the head of the department in which the course was offered. This procedure must
be accomplished within 14 days of the first day of classes of that quarter. If a
resolution satisfactory to the student is not effected, the department head may
appoint a review committee (exclusive of both the department head and the in-
structor). The review committee, after hearing both the instructor and the stu-
dent, submits its report and recommendation to the academic vice-president
Uhrough the department head). If the vice-president accepts the review commit-
tee's recommendation that the grade be changed or if he reverses a recommen-
dation 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 CUMULATIVE 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 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, insti-
tutional credit courses, and courses specifically excluded by college policy are not
used in computing the cumulative grade point average.

SAVANNAH STATE COLLEGE HONORS

Christine E. Oliver, Director

PURPOSE AND GOALS

The Savannah State College Honors Program maintains a community of aca-
demically bright and talented students. It identifies these gifted students and
provides them with opportunities for intellectual growth and for achievement of
the highest distinction. The advantages of participation in the Honors Program
are numerous. The program is highly competitive and multi-faceted in nature.
The general education honors core is the same as the college's general education
core; however, honors students study at an accelerated pace and have a myriad
of activities, on and off campus. Honors students are able to network with other
students who are highly motivated. The program is designed to assist students
in their preparation for graduate and professional study and ultimately for the
assuming of leadership roles in their professions and in society-at-large.

science

Transfer Students. Students transferring from other universities and col-
leges who wish to enter the Savannah State College Honors Program should write
a letter of application to the director of the program. They should also present
transcripts of their previous college work and any SAT, ACT, and Advanced Place-
ment Scores. However, since the core of the honors curriculum is offered in the
freshman and sophomore years, transfer students should seek admission to the
college as soon as possible.

ACADEMIC REQUIREMENTS AND CREDIT

Continuation Requirements. Honors students are required to enroll in and
successfully complete a minimum of 16 credit hours each quarter. Requirements
for remaining in good academic standing as an Honors Program student are as
follows: Students who do not maintain a cumulative grade point average of 3.50
or above will be placed on honors probation the following quarter. If the standard
is not met, at the close of the probation period, the students will be suspended
from the Honors Program. Suspended students may appeal the decision through
proper administrative channels, and may apply for readmission.

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 ed-
ucational plans. Accordingly, any student who feels that the circumstances re-
quire 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 Cal-
endar 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 con-
sultation with the Vice President for Student Affairs. Students should initially
petition the Vice President for Student Affairs for relief due to extenuating cir-
cumstances 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 withdrawal
and forward the appropriate forms to the offices of the Academic Vice President,
the Director of Admissions and Records, and the Vice President for Business and
Finance.

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

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

ACCESS TO STUDENT RECORDS

Savannah State College is covered by the Family Educational Rights and Pri-
vacy 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.

4S

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 Registrar's 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 number,
date and place of birth, major field of study; participation in officially recognized
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 institutions at-
tended 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 Registrar 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 with-
hold the release of directory information will be honored at any time, but the
college cannot be reasonably certain that some directory 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 informa-
tion withheld should notify the Director of Public Relations prior to the antici-
pated 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 Down-
town Center located at 305 Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard, the Dean of the
Coastal Georgia Center for Continuing Education operates a unified Continuing
Education program dedicated to serving the people of Savannah, Chatham
County, the State of Georgia and, for some programs, beyond those boundaries.

A wide variety of programs are offered at Armstrong State College, Savannah
State College, the Downtown Center, and when it is appropriate, at job sites,

49

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.

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 require-
ments 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 Savan-
nah State College under the following conditions:

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

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

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

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

50

Students desiring to have correspondence credit counted toward graduation
should obtain written permission from the dean of the school in which the stu-
dent is enrolled and present this statement to the Correspondence Study Office.

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

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

51

committees in either the House or Senate, and work directly under and are re-
sponsible 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 di-
rection of the head of the Department of Social and Behavioral Sciences.

STUDY ABROAD PROGRAM

Savannah State College provides students with a multitude of opportunities to
study abroad while earning academic credit toward completion of degree require-
ments. The College's Office of International Programs (OIP) offers students ac-
cess to study abroad programs in several countries in Africa, Asia, The Caribbean,
Europe, North America, and South America.

Some of the study abroad programs are offered by other University System of
Georgia institutions. System institutions generally open their programs to all
undergraduate students with a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.5; however, cer-
tain programs may require a higher GPA and completion of prerequisites. Stu-
dents in the University System of Georgia who are eligible for financial aid may
use that aid toward study abroad. A limited number of study abroad scholarships
is available. For further information contact the OIP at 356-2168, or in Room
114 of Powell Hall.

Studying abroad enables students to increase knowledge of a foreign language,
provides the opportunity to gain insights into and appreciation for the cultures
and institutions of other peoples, facilitates the development of relevant career
skills, and contributes to personal maturity, a sense of independence, self-knowl-
edge, and confidence.

CAMPUS RESIDENCY POLICY

Freshmen students from outside the Chatham County area are expected to
reside in the dormitories of Savannah State College at a rate of $335.00 per
quarter and to take the three-meal plan at the rate of $435.00 per quarter. Those
who elect to live in the dormitories must purchase at least the two-meal plan.

ROOM DEPOSIT

Entering students and continuing students who live in the college dormitories
are required to submit a room deposit of $50.00 with their requests for room
assignment. Upon registration, $25.00 will be credited toward the student's rent
for the quarter. The remaining $25.00 will serve as a damage/room clearance
deposit to be refunded upon withdrawal from the College or at the end of the
year upon proper clearance with the Housing Office and the absence of any dam-
age to the room. If the student is not accepted by the College, the $50.00 will be
returned in full. An applicant who, after acceptance for admission, decided not
to enroll at Savannah State College may be refunded 80% of the $50.00 deposit
by requesting a refund in writing at least twenty days prior to the registration

54

date for the quarter in which accepted. Contact the Housing Office for further

information.

APARTMENTS

On-campus apartments are available for leasing. Students must meet certain
criteria to determine eligibility for first-time and continued residency. For further
details, please contact the Housing Office.

PAYMENT OF FEES

All general College fees and deposits (Matriculation fees, Student Activity fees,
Athletic fees, Health fees, and tuition for nonresidents of Georgia) must be paid
at the time of registration as announced by the Vice President for Academic
Affairs. A student is not officially registered in the College until such fees and
charges are paid.

Room deposits may be paid by mailing the check to the Housing Office.

Testing fees are collected by the Testing Office staff immediately before tests
are administered.

All other fees are payable at the Cashier's Office of the Business Office or at
designated areas during registration.

Receipts of proof of payment are issued for all payments, and these should be
carefully preserved. No student will be entitled to a refund except after surrender
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
is completed before the end of such term.

All refunds will be processed and mailed to the students within two weeks
following the end of the refund period.

SCHEDULE OF REFUND OF FEES

For students who withdraw during the first seven days (including the first day
of registration) of the quarter, 80% of the fees may be refunded; for students who
withdraw during the second seven-day period, a refund of 60% will be made; for
students who withdraw no later than the end of the third seven-day period fol-
lowing registration, a refund of 40% may be granted; for students who withdraw
during the fourth seven-day period following the scheduled registration date, a
refund of 20% will be granted. No refund will be made to students who withdraw
after the end of the fourth seven-day period following registration. For 8-week

55

Summer Sessions, "seven-day period" will read "five-day period." For 4-week
Summer Sessions, "seven-day period" will read "three-day period."

Room and board charges will be made through the end of the week during
which the student withdraws. A student who wishes to withdraw from the dining
hall and dormitory must secure a permit from the Vice-President for Student
Affairs. This permit, when submitted with the ID, will entitle the student to a
refund.

Refunds will not be made to students who do not withdraw officially, nor will
refunds be given for reduced loads.

A refund of all quarterly mandatory fees non-resident fees, matriculation fees,
health fees, student activities fees, athletic fees shall be made in the event of
the death of a student at any time during an academic quarter.

The Schedule of Refunds refers to calendar days, beginning with the first day
of scheduled registration.

REFUND POLICY PERTAINING TO STUDENTS
RECEIVING FINANCIAL AID

When a student is a recipient of funds from Title IV Programs (Federal Pell,
Federal Seog, Federal Family Education Loan Program), any refund must be
distributed in accordance with the following formula set forth by the Title IV
Regulations:

Total amount of Title IV aid (excluding CWS)

Awarded for the payment period Amount to be returned

Total Refund X = to Title IV Programs

Total amount of aid from all sources (excluding
work earnings) awarded for the payment period

In the case of refunds attributed to any of the loan programs, the amount will
be remitted by the College to the lending institution.

In the case of Federal Perkins Loans, the portion of the refund attributable to
the loan would be applied as a reduction of the principal balance in the student's
loan account with the College.

The method used in computing refunds may change as federal regulations
dictate.

resident student only upon showing that he or she has been a legal resident
of Georgia for a period of at least twelve months immediately preceding
the date of registration.

(b) No emancipated minor or person 18 years of age or older shall be
deemed to have gained or acquired in-state residence status for fee purposes
while attending any educational institution in this State, in the absence of
a clear demonstration that he or she has in fact established legal residence
in this state.

2. If a person is under 18 years of age, he or she may register as a resident
student only upon showing that his or her supporting parent or guardian
has been a legal resident of Georgia for a period of at least twelve months
immediately preceding the date of registration.

3. A full-time faculty member of the University System and his or her spouse
and dependent children may register upon the payment of resident fees
even though he or she has not been a legal resident of Georgia for the
preceding twelve months.

4. Non-resident graduate students who hold teaching or research assistant-
ships requiring at least one-third time service may register as students in
the institution in which they are employed on payment of resident fees.

5. Full-time teachers in the public schools of Georgia and their dependent
children may enroll as students in the University System institutions on

of Georgia for the immediately preceding nine months, were engaged in
teaching during such nine month period, and have been employed to teach
full-time in the public schools of Georgia during the ensuing school year.

6. All aliens shall be classified as non-resident students; provided, however,
that an alien who is living in this country under a visa permitting per-
manent residents shall have the same privilege of qualifying for resident
status for fee purposes as a citizen of the United States.

7. Foreign students who attend institutions of the University System under

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 aca-
demic 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 perform-
ance, 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 Registrar's 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 degree candidates
must apply at least two quarters in advance of the expected date of graduation.
The Registrar will inform the student's academic department when the applica-
tion is filed. The student's major department will conduct an audit and inform
the student of any remaining requirements. The Registrar conducts an inde-
pendent audit to insure that all degree requirements will have been satisfied.

NOTE:

Graduation requirements include a 2.00 minimum graduation grade point aver-
age 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 institu-
tions 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 Office of the
Registrar in writing thirty (30) days prior to graduation date or completion of
academic requirements. It is the student's responsibility to see to it that incom-
plete grades are properly recorded in the appropriate offices.

Students exempted from taking six (6) credit hours of Physical education courses
must take six (6) credit hours of electives to replace the physical activity gradu-
ation requirements.

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, cer-
tain 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
provide Systems wide information on the status of student competence
in the areas of reading and writing; and (2) to provide a uniform means

60

*

of identifying those students who fail to attain the minimum levels of
competence in the areas of reading and writing.

Passing the Regents' Testing is defined as having passed all components
of the Test by scoring above the cutoff score specified for each compo-
nent. The test may be administered either in its entirety or as one or
more components depending on the needs of the students. If one com-
ponent of the Test is passed, that component need not be retaken; this
provision is retroactive to all students who have taken the Test in any
form since the inception of the program.

The intent of this policy is that passing the Regent's Test occur before
the end of the student's sophomore year, that is, before the completion
of 105 hours of degree credit. Students who fail the test must retake
and pass the Test. Each institution shall provide an appropriate pro-
gram of remediation and shall require deficient students to participate
in that program prior to retaking the test.

61

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 sep-
arate administrations, are now considered to have met the Regents' Ex-
amination requirement. If these students have completed all other
graduation requirements, their date of graduation (the date which will
appear on the diploma) will be the first institutional graduation date after
January 1, 1980.

Remediation for Regents Examination

Students who have not passed the Regents' Examination before they earn sev-
enty-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 Eng-
lish 093 (Reading) during the quarter subsequent to earning 75 credit hours or
failing the Examination. Permission will not be given to retake the Examination
unless students complete the remediation courses. Failure to enroll in these re-
quired remediation courses will result in cancellation of a student's registration
for that quarter. Each of these courses carries five hours of institutional credit
and requires that the students successfully complete approximately fifty (50)
hours of classroom and laboratory instruction each quarter. Grades in English
092 and 093 will be "S" (Satisfactory), "IP" (In Progress), or "U" (Unsatisfac-
tory). 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 Sa-
vannah 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 concur-
rently; 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 sus-
pended for failure to sit for the Examination when required must re-enroll for
remedial courses during their next quarter of enrollment and they must also sit
for the Examination that quarter. If these students fail to enroll in remediation
their registration will be cancelled.

Student Responsibility

Students are responsible for complying with all Institutional policies regarding
the Regents' Testing Program. Failure to comply will result in disciplinary action
ranging from cancellation of registration to suspension, depending upon the grav-
ity of the situation.

Il

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 subsequent
quarters shall be subject to all provisions of this policy.

Graduate Students

Students with baccalaureate degrees from colleges and universities within the
University of Georgia System or from other, regionally accredited colleges and
universities will be exempt from these Policies.

Foreign Students

Students whose native language is other than English may be exempted from
taking the Regents' Test; however, such students must take the Savannah State
College English Competency Test for Foreign Students in lieu of the Regents'
Test. Such students are subject to all of the provisions of this policy regarding
eligibility and remediation.

Handicapped Students

Students with legal visual, auditory, or motor handicaps may arrange for local
certification of competency with the Regents' Test Coordinator.

Essay Test Review Policy

The Regents' Test itself and the scoring criteria are not subject to review; the
same methods of scoring will be used during the review process as that in the
original scoring. Scoring will follow the normal holistic procedure.

1. A student may request a formal review of his failure on the essay compo-
nent of the Regents' Test if that student's essay received at least one pass-
ing score among the three scores awarded and if the student has completed
English 107, 108, and 109.

63

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 (com-
posed of two English instructors and one additional person) appointed by
the Vice President of the College and designated as the on-campus review
panel.

4. The on-campus review panel may (1) sustain, by majority opinion, the es-
say's failing score, thus terminating the review process, or (2) recommend,
by majority opinion, the re-scoring of the essay by the Regents' Testing
Program central office. The Regents' Test Coordinator will notify the stu-
dent 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 regula-
tions relating to remediation and to retaking the Test.

Registration Procedures for the Regents' Exam

All students will be notified by the Comprehensive Counseling and Testing
Center Office 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, circumstances,
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:

Grants, loans, and work study are available through this office to help defray
educational expenses at Savannah State College. Grants do not have to be repaid.
Most loans must be repaid in cash. College Work-Study awards are earned during
the period of enrollment. You must be enrolled at least half-time to receive aid
from Pell Grant, Perkins Loan, College Work-Study, Stafford Loan, and Supple-
mental Loan for Students/Plus programs. You must be enrolled full-time to re-
ceive the Student Incentive Grant and Regents' Scholarship.

A. GRANTS

1. Federal Pell Grant This grant is designated for undergraduate stu-
dents working toward a first bachelor's degree. The amount of the grant
is determined by the Cost of Attendance, the Expected Family Contri-
bution shown on the Student Aid Report and the student's enrollment
status and housing status. Students full-time (12 or more credit hours)
will receive full eligibility. Students enrolled for 9 to 11 credit hours will
receive three-fourths eligibility. Students enrolled for 6 to 8 credit hours
will receive one-half eligibility.

2. Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant Program
fSEOGj This grant is designated for undergraduate students and
eligibility is based on Established Financial Need.

65

3. Student Incentive Grant (SIG) This grant is designated for under-
graduate Georgia residents enrolled full-time.

B. LOANS

1. Federal Perkins Loan Loan eligibility is based on Established Fi-
nancial Need. Repayment of the loan begins nine months after a student
graduates, leaves school, or enrolls less than half-time. Interest accrues
at five percent (5%) per year during the repayment period.

2. Regents' Scholarship This award is designated for Georgia residents
who are enrolled full-time and ranked academically in the upper 25% of
their class and who have Established Financial Need. The maximum
amount of this award is $750 per academic year. Repayment may be
satisfied by working full-time in the State of Georgia one year for each
$1,000 received, or by making cash repayment with three percent (3%)
interest per year.

3. Federal Supplemental Loan for Students/Parent Loan for Undergrad-
uate Students These loans are educational loans to parents of un-
dergraduate students, independent undergraduate students, or to
graduate students. The current interest rate is 12%. Loan eligibility is
based on the Cost of Attendance, other aid the student may receive, and
state/lender restrictions. Parents and students may borrow up to $4,000
per year to a $20,000 cumulative total.

Supplemental loan repayment begins after the funds are disbursed by
the lender. The first payment is due within sixty days; however, under
specific circumstances, a student borrower may defer interest and/or
principle payments of the loan while attending school. Contact the
lender for details. PLUS loan repayment begins after the funds are
disbursed by the lender. The first payment is due within sixty days;
however, under specific circumstances, a parent borrower may defer
interest and/or principle payments of the loan while the student is at-
tending school. Contact the lender for details. Federal Pell Grant and
Federal Stafford Loan eligibility must be determined prior to certifica-
tion of SLS applications.

4. Federal Stafford Loan Federal Stafford Loan is a low-interest, need-
based loan made to students by a lender such as the Georgia Student
Finance Authority, a bank, credit union, savings and loan association,
etc. The interest rate is currently 8%. Once approved, the student will
receive Stafford Loan funds by multiple disbursement through the Col-
lege. Loan repayment begins 6 months after leaving school for most
loans. Some loan repayments may not begin until 9 to 12 months after
leaving school. Students are required to sign a Promissory Note prior
to receiving any Stafford Loan funds. The note will specify the interest
rate and the number of months before repayment begins (the grace
period). If the student falls below half-time enrollment, the grace-period
will begin. It is the student's responsibility to notify the lender when
he/she leaves school. The amount of the monthly payment will be de-
termined by the lender based upon the cumulative loan amount and
federal regulations. First-time borrowers will be contacted by the Fi-
nancial Aid Office to satisfy entrance interview requirements.

66

C. COLLEGE WORK-STUDY

Federal College Work-Study (CWS) - Eligibility for Federal College
Work-Study is based on Established Financial Need. Amounts range from
$400 to $900 per quarter. Students are assigned jobs located on campus
and work schedules are made around the student's class schedule.

Veterans, Disability, and War Orphans' Benefits

Savannah State College maintains a veterans coordinator in the Office of the
Registrar to certify and assist students who are eligible for veterans benefits and
to coordinate veterans affairs.

Any veteran who wishes to attend Savannah State College under any of the
veteran's benefits programs provided by public law should apply to the Savannah
State College admissions office in the normal manner. It is advisable for a veteran
who has not previously used any educational benefits to apply to the VA Regional
Office for those benefits, and for a veterans who will be transferring to Georgia
State from another institution where educational benefits were received to proc-
ess a "Request for Change of Program or Place of Training" form with the VA
Regional Office concurrently with his/her application to Savannah State College.
As soon as the applicant is notified of acceptance by the Savannah State College
Admissions Office, the SSC veterans coordinator should be contacted for further
instructions.

Although additional information is contained on the application for benefits
and informational sheet to be completed in the Office of Veterans coordinator,
veteran students should pay particular attention to the following:

1. Veteran student may be certified for benefits only after having been ac-
cepted to and while attending in a designated degree program (except for
students enrolled in the Division of Developmental Studies or in certain
certification programs). Students classified as non-degree (ND), post-grad-
uate (PG) or post-baccalaureate (PB) will not be certified for benefits while
attending in those classifications, unless enrolled in an approved certifica-
tion program.

2. Students may be certified for only those courses which apply to their formal
and designated degree objective. Certain required remediation and/or pre-
requisite courses may be certified for benefits, but only if those courses are
specifically required of the student, and the requirement is appropriately
documented in the Office of Veterans Coordinator.

3. Students receiving benefits are required to notify the Veterans Coordinator
whenever their attendance in a course or programs is interrupted, or when-
ever the student formally changes degree objectives. Failure to do so may
result in an overpayment of benefits, and the student's liability for those
payments.

4. Students may not be certified for repeated courses unless the repetition is
required by academic policy which is specified in the university catalog.

5. Savannah State College defines a normal full-time load for undergraduate
students as 12 quarter hours. Undergraduate students who carry fewer
than 12 quarter hours will not be certified as full time.

6. Continuing students who wish to continue to receive benefits must renew
their certifications through the Veterans Coordinator each fall and summer
quarter. Students whose attendance was interrupted must renew their cer-
tifications at the beginning of the next quarter of attendance in which they
wish to receive benefits. Developmental Studies students, students on ac-
tive military duty, and students attending on a less-than-half-time basis

69

must renew their certifications each quarter. These students who are cer-
tified on a quarterly basis will routinely experience a break in benefit pay-
ments between terms and should contact the Veterans Administration
regional Office to ascertain the amount and schedule of their checks.

Veterans with discharges (DD-214) are exempted from taking physical ed-
ucation (P.E.) courses. They can provide a copy of their DD-214 and receive
up to 6 credit hours of P.E. The Veterans Administration will not pay
veterans attending SSC for taking P.E. courses if they have obtained their
DD-214. The only exception to this rule is for the veteran student majoring
in Recreation and Parks Administration. Veterans should be prepared to
pay their own tuition and fees if they have not applied for advance pay at
least 40 days prior to the beginning of the quarter.

STANDARDS OF SATISFACTORY ACADEMIC

PROGRESS FOR STUDENTS RECEIVING

FEDERAL STUDENT AID FUNDS

(Title IV)

Savannah State College is required by the U.S. Department of Education to
establish minimum standards of satisfactory academic progress. Satisfactory ac-
ademic progress means that the student is proceeding in a positive manner toward
fulfilling degrees requirements. The Satisfactory Academic Progress policy in-
cludes three major components: quality, quantity, and time frame.

I. Quality and Quantity

Quality and quantity are measured by the Director of Admissions and
Records at the end of each quarter in accordance with the Academic
Probation and Suspension policy found in the Savannah State College
General Catalog.

A. Undergraduate Students

Students will be dismissed for one quarter after two successive
quarters on probation if their cumulative average is below that
required for a designated number of total hours attempted as follows:

W Stages of Progress Required Minimum

Quarter Hours Cumulative Average

0-45 1.5

46-90 1.7

|l 91 and above 2.0

Students will be considered enrolled for any quarter in which they re-
ceive a grade or grades other than W. Students will not be subject to
dismissal for academic reasons if they meet the standards listed above
at the end of two quarters of probation or if they carry a minimum of
10 hours and maintain a quarterly average of 2.0. Transfer credits are
not included in the computation of the cumulative grade average. Total

It hours attempted consist of all hours attempted at Savannah State (in-

cluding all hours with grades of F and WF), plus all hours transferred

| to SSC. Grades of I and W are not included in hours attempted.

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

Upon dismissal for academic reasons, a student must apply for read-
mission. Readmission may be granted at the discretion of the Committee
on Admission.

Financial aid will be reinstated when a student who is allowed to re-
enroll after an academic dismissal meets the following criteria in order
to receive aid during subsequent quarters of enrollment:

a) enroll one quarter at their own expense; and

b) meet the conditions set by the school or college; and

71

c) meet the criteria in the satisfactory academic progress time table.

B. Graduate Students

Students may be dismissed by their department at the end of the quarter
if they have not made sufficient academic progress to warrant contin-
uance of study. Termination of students will follow policies and proce-
dures adopted by the department.

Students with a cumulative graduate course average of below 3.0 for
two consecutive quarters are placed on academic probation by the Grad-
uate school. Then they must make a 3.0 or higher quarterly graduate
average each succeeding quarter that their overall cumulative graduate
average is below 3.0. These students are no longer on probation when
their cumulative graduate average is 3.0 or above. If they make below
a 3.0 quarterly average while on probation, they are dismissed.

C. Developmental Studies Students

Students who do not complete the requirements for each developmental
Studies 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 simultaneously without authorization from the Director of Devel-
opmental Studies. Readmitted students not exiting Developmental Stud-
ies within one attempt per area will then be suspended for four quarters
after which they may be readmitted, and then only for one attempt per
area (during this time students will not be allowed to take any other
courses).

Only the first 45 hours attempted in Developmental Studies will
be allowed in determining aid eligibility.

II. Time Frame

Student financial aid recipients must show measurable progress toward degree
completion by earning a required minimum number of hours for the total number
of quarters enrolled. The normal academic work load during an academic year is
15 hours per quarter for undergraduates and 10 hours per quarter for graduate
students. Time frame is measured by the office of Student Financial Aid using
the following satisfactory academic progress time table:

dumber of

Required Minimum

Required Minimi

In addition to the previously stated standards, student financial aid recipients
must comply with a given time frame in completing degree requirements. Un-
dergraduate students will be given a time frame of 18 quarters and graduate
students will be given a time frame of 9 quarters to complete degrees require-
ments.

If you received Federal student aid for the first time on or after July 1, 1987
and you are enrolled in a program that's longer than two years, the following
definition of satisfactory progress also applies to you: You must be maintaining
a "C" average by the end of your second academic year of study. You must
continue to maintain satisfactory academic progress for the rest of your course
of study.

III. Appeal of Financial Aid Suspension

A. A student who is suspended from aid may appeal to the Student Finan-
cial Aid Committee using a prescribed form on which the student offers
reasons why he did not achieve minimum academic requirements and
why his aid should not be terminated.

B. The Student Financial Aid Commmittee will review the appeal and de-
termine whether or not the suspension was justified. The student will
be notified in writing of the decision.

73

STUDENT DEVELOPMENT
Student Affairs

The Vice President for Student Affairs at Savannah State College is responsible
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.

DISABLED STUDENT SERVICES

Savannah State College subscribes to a policy of providing equal access to dis-
abled students for all academic programs and support services. The College is
committed to having disabled students in barrier-free environments which are
designed to enhance learning opportunities. The College also has a wide array of
support services which help to make the college experience challenging and re-
warding. The faculty and staff are easily accessible to all students. Savannah
State College welcomes your application for admissions.

Residence Life

There are six residence halls 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 Geor-
gia require that all campus residential units for students be filled before
students are permitted to live off-campus. All students below the senior
year (135 quarter hours) are required to live on campus, unless a condition below
exists:

74

a. A student is married and furnishes proof thereof;

b. A student's parents are residents of Chatham County;

c. A student commutes from a neighboring county that is within a 50 mile
radius of the College;

d. A student is a legal resident of Chatham County;

e. A student (handicapped, expectant mother) with special housing needs.

All students are required to apply for housing at the beginning of the academic
year, summer school, and any quarter that is proceeded by a break in continued
residence. A room reservation/damage/key deposit is also returned. Students are
expected to formally clear housing at the end of Spring and Summer Quarters,
and any other quarter if they do not plan to return or graduate. Dormitory
directors will sign the appropriate clearance form for students.

Room assignments are made for the academic year. Freshmen students live
together, with the exception of student-athletes and other students by permission
of the Vice President for Student Affairs. In the event that an occupant of a
double room moves out, the remaining student will be assigned another room-
mate, or be assigned to another room.

Students who are required to live in residence halls are also required to pur-
chase 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 confis-
cated and the owner charged a penalty fee of $25.00.

Student Conduct

Each student enrolled at Savannah State College is expected at all times to
exemplify due respect for order, morality, and the rights of others. The College
reserves the right to exclude at any time any student whose conduct is deemed
improper or prejudicial to the welfare of the college community.

Violations of the Student Conduct Code

While the intentional commission of an act is an important consideration in
determining guilt or innocence and appropriate sanction, students are also re-
sponsible in some cases for their actions due to negligence.

The following actions constitute some examples of misconduct for which stu-
dents may receive disciplinary action, including suspension and dismissal when
committed on or away from college property (for additional details, see the Sa-
vannah State College Student Conduct Code, 1991):

I. Academic Irregularity

II. Possession of Drugs and Alcoholic Beverages

III. Damage to Public and Private Property

IV. Disorderly Assembly

75

V. Disorderly Conduct

VI. Falsification of Records

VII. Misuse of Student Identification Cards

VIII. Theft

IX. Gambling

X. Unauthorized Entry or Use of College Facilities

XI. Possessing Explosives

XII. Violation of Dormitory Visitation Rules and Regulations

XIII. Disregard of Fire Safety Regulations

XTV. Possession of Weapons

XV. Hazing and/or Harassment

XVI. Joint Responsibility for Violations

XVII. Violation of Outside Law

Disciplinary Procedures

The Administrative Interview Process:

1. The Filing of a Charge

The accuser files a written charge with the Office of the Vice President for
Student Affairs. Any person may refer a student suspected of violating the
Student Conduct Code.

2. Investigation of the Charge

Upon receipt of the charge, the Vice President conducts an informal inves-
tigation to determine whether to drop the case, or send a letter of notifi-
cation to the accused student.

3. Administrative Interview

If a formal charge is made to the accused, either by certified letter or in
person, the Vice President will instruct the accused to contact the Office for
Student Affairs to arrange an administrative interview to discuss the com-
plaint. In addition to the specific charge, attached to the Vice President's
interview letter will be copies of all documents pertinent to the alleged in-
cident that are known at that time. The Vice President will request a meet-
ing with other necessary relevant parties on an individual basis. However,
the Vice President or accused student may ask to have more than one rel-
evant party present at the interview. The purposes of the administrative
interview are twofold. First, to determine whether probable cause exists to
believe the accused may have committed the charged offenses. Second, if
probable to have the case heard by the Vice President or the College Dis-
cipline Committee.

The Vice President for Student Affairs will be responsible for notifying all
persons of the time and place when they are to appear before the Committee.

76

The Vice President will also notify students about the specific charges against
them.

Rights of the Accused Student During Hearings
Before the Vice President or the Discipline

Committee.

Accused students shall be advised that they have:

a. The right to a non-legal advisor of their choice. (An attorney may be present
only when it appears that the hearing also relates to a potential, or actual,
criminal charge against the accused.)

b. The right to question the accuser(s).

c. The right to present evidence.

d. The right to call witnesses.

e. The right to remain silent and have no inference of guilt drawn from such
silence.

f. The right of cross examination.

g. The right to appeal an adverse decision to the President.

h. The right to attend classes and required college functions until a hearing is
held and a decision is rendered against the accused by the Vice President
or Discipline Committee. The accused may remain at the institution pending
an appeal to the President, if his or her presence is judged not to be a clear
and present danger to the normal operation of the College. If the President
upholds the suspension or expulsion, the student must depart, notwith-
standing the student's subsequent application for review to the Board of
Regents.

The Discipline Committee

The Discipline Committee (comprised of faculty, staff, and students) adjudi-
cates all cases except those where the student elects to have his or her case decided
by the Vice President for Student Affairs. If the accused chooses a hearing by the
Discipline Committee, the vice President shall select a member of the staff to
present the case on behalf of the person bringing charges, including cases where
the Office For Student Affairs files the charges.

Basis for Review (Appeals to the President)

All appeals to the President must be made in writing within seven calendar
days of the original decision. The original decision is final on the day it is rendered
by the Vice President for Student Affairs and Discipline Committee. The filing
of an appeal to the President will not postpone punishments imposed thereunder,
by the Vice President for Student Affairs or the Discipline Committee.

The accused may appeal to the President from a decision cf the Vice President
for Student Affairs or the Discipline Committee on the following grounds. Ad-
ditional grounds may be asserted by the appellant, as appropriate.

77

1. Failure to follow procedures, including failure to observe the rights of the
accused, but only if such failure actually resulted in preventing the accused
from adequately defending against the charge.

2. The findings are not supported by substantial evidence, or the recommen-
dations are not supported by the findings.

3. Demonstrated bias on the part of one or more members of the adjudicating
body. "Bias" requires more than merely knowing the accused or knowing
something about the case. Disqualification occurs only where it can be es-
tablished that the Vice President or a Discipline Committee member was
incapable of rendering a fair decision.

4. Whether the sanction imposed by the adjudicating body was excessive, in
light of the nature of the offense and the student's disciplinary record.

seling as well as an array of test information and interpretive data. These services
can be provided in an individual or group setting.

group of peer counselors. The peer counselors provide an opportunity for student-
to-student counseling and they render tutorial assistance to students experienc-
ing 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. Counsel-
ing is confidential and free to students. The center is located on the second floor
of the King-Frazier Student Center, Room 233.

seling Center. It is designed to assist new students in becoming acquainted with

:s

traditions, with the opportunities offered for training, and with specialized vo-
cational guidance. This program, offered during the summer, concentrates on all
freshmen and new students entering the College. Orientation sessions last for
two days with one overnight stay. In addition to placement testing, academic
advisement and preregistration, activities typically include a dance, dinner cab-
aret, breakfast sing-out contest, get acquainted luncheon, and a picnic on the

of attending a mini-orientation which is generally held in mid-September.

2. To serve as a pre-professional area for students preparing for advanced
study in other areas, such as humanities, law, library science.

3. To prepare students for employment in non-traditional careers for human-
ities majors (banking, insurance, etc.)

4. To prepare students for careers in mass communications in four areas:
print media, electronic media, media management, and performing arts.

5. To help students develop competence in English communicative skills:
reading, writing, speaking, listening, analysis, and critical thinking.

6. To develop the student's knowledge and appreciation of world art, litera-
ture, and music from the ancient period through the modern period, with
recursive reference to and study of Black African and African American
humanities.

THE INTERDISCIPLINARY MASS COMMUNICATIONS MAJOR

The Mass Communications Degree Program is an interdisciplinary program
which offers the student who is interested in a professional communications ca-
reer a unique opportunity to obtain extraordinary career flexibility.

116

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 mag-
azines); electronic media (radio and television), media management, and the per-
forming arts.

Enriched knowledge and understanding of the nature, circumstances, and as-
pirations 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 de-
velopment of basic insights into human nature and in the acquisition of human-
istic principles upon which the media must rest.

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 communi-
cations 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.

SCHOOL OF HUMANITIES & SOCIAL SCIENCES
MASTER IN PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION

Effective July 1, 1990, graduate degrees will be offered by Georgia Southern
University in Affiliation with Savannah State College. Currently enrolled grad-
uate students and prospective graduate students should meet with graduate ad-
visors or with Dr. Willie E. Johnson, Acting Associate Graduate Dean, to get
information on programming and admissions.

Purpose

The School of humanities and Social Sciences is strongly committed to the
development of the intellectual, social, and professional competence of individu-
als. Consistent with the philosophy, the School and Savannah State College offer
the MPA Program which enables students to acquire specialized training in a
chosen field. The Masters of Public Administration Program (MPA) strives to
broaden the student's understanding of the problems and opportunities of Urban
communities and develop an awareness of social and civic responsibility. The MPA
Program is dedicated to service through educational programs, community in-
volvement, faculty and student research, and scholarship. By offering advanced
professional training, the program prepares individuals for positions of respon-
sibility at all levels of government, education and business. Students are intro-
duced to administrative, managerial, and technical knowledge and skills needed
for a successful public service career.

Admission Procedures

Unqualified or Regular Admission to the MPA Program requires (a) completion
of a relevant undergraduate degree from an accredited college or university; (b)
transcripts showing an undergraduate grade point average of at least 2.5 on a
4.0 scale; (c) official results of the aptitude portions of the Graduate Record
Examination (GRE) with acceptable scores on the verbal and quantitative por-
tions of that exam. (Minimal GRE verbal and quantitative scores each in the
range or 400 to 450 are typical of applicants accepted into the MPA Program,
but all results will be individually evaluated within the context of the total ap-
plicant package; (d) letters of reference from academic and professional persons
familiar with applicant's abilities; (e) an undergraduate major or the equivalent
appropriate to the proposed field of study. For the applicant who has insufficient
preparation in political science, PA 852 American Government Seminar is re-
quired. All students admitted to the program must have completed a course in
statistics before taking PA 870 Research Methods I; (f) a current resume detailing
relevant work experience. The Internship requirement is keyed to previous and

164

current employment. Provisional Admission may be awarded applicants who meet
some but not all of the above criteria.

Admission Classification

A prospective student who has earned a baccalaureate degree and plans to take
additional work beyond the baccalaureate degree must apply to the Graduate
School and be admitted under one of the following classifications:

Degree Student:

Students who are admitted to the Graduate School with the expressed intention
of following a program leading to a graduate degree are classified as degree stu-
dents. When admitted as a degree student, the applicant will be placed in one of
the following categories:

a. Regular - A prospective candidate for a degree who meets all requirements
for unqualified admission to the Graduate School and has been recom-
mended by the school, division, or department in which he/she proposes to
study and approved by the Dean of the Graduate School is classified as a
regular degree student.

b. Provisional - A prospective candidate for a degree who does not satisfy
the full admission requirements will be classified in this category under
conditions specified at the time of admission by the Dean of the Graduate
School upon the recommendation of the graduate faculty of the department
in the school or division in which the student proposes to study. A study
admitted in this category may apply at any time to the Dean of the Grad-
uate School for reclassification when the conditions have been met. A stu-
dent initiating graduate work under this classification may enroll in
graduate courses leading to a degree and such courses may be counted in
a degree program when the student has met the conditions specified at the
time of admission and has been reclassified.* Failure to satisfy the condi-
tions in the specified time limit will result in the student's ineligibility to
continue work in the Graduate School. A STUDENT MAY NOT BE AD-
MITTED TO CANDIDACY UNTIL THE STUDENT HAS MET THE
CONDITIONS FOR UNQUALIFIED ADMISSION.

* Only credit earned in graduate courses at Georgia Southern University may be used to satisfy admission
requirements when the condition is to earn "B" or better on each of the first three courses or first
fifteen hours attempted for graduate credit.

Non-Degree Student:

An applicant may be admitted to the Graduate School (but not to a degree
program) as a non-degree student to earn credit in graduate courses without
working toward a degree. One who is admitted as a non-degree student may
reapply for a degree program at any time. Students are admitted non-degree
under one of the following categories:

a. Regular - An applicant admitted to the Graduate School but not to a
degree program who holds a Master's degree may enter as a regular, non-
degree. A student enrolling for graduate work under this classification is
not limited in the number of quarter hours of graduate credit earned.

165

b. Provisional - An applicant admitted to the Graduate School but not to a
degree program is limited to earn a total of fifteen (15) quarter hours credit
in graduate courses. However, a student seeking recertification in Educa-
tion may earn a total of thirty (30) quarter hours credit in graduate courses
in any six contiguous years. A student initiating graduate work under this
classification may reapply for a degree program by submitting proper cre-
dentials. GRADUATE CREDIT EARNED UNDER THIS CLASSIFICA-
TION MAY NOT COUNT ON A DEGREE PROGRAM EXCEPT UNDER
SPECIAL CONDITIONS DECIDED AT THE TIME OF ADMISSION TO
A GRADUATE DEGREE PROGRAM.

TRANSIENT:

In order to be admitted to the Graduate School under this classification, the
student must submit, prior to registration, an application and certification that
he or she is in good standing in a recognized graduate school in another insti-
tution and that he or she wishes to enroll in the MPA Program at Georgia South-
ern University in affiliation with Savannah State College for a specified quarter.
A special form for this purpose is available from the Graduate School, Georgia
Southern University. A student is admitted under this classification for one
quarter only. The student must be readmitted under this classification each
quarter to be eligible for graduate courses.

APPLICATION PROCEDURES:

All degree seeking applicants for admission to the Graduate School must:

1. Submit a completed application furnished by the Graduate School.

2. Submit two (2) official transcripts of all previous academic work. (Gradu-
ates of Savannah State College will submit only official transcripts of col-
lege credits earned elsewhere after graduation from Savannah State
College.

3. Submit official test scores as required for the program selected. (To be
official, test scores must be sent to the Graduate School directly from the
testing agency or be recorded on an official transcript.)

All applicants who do not wish to work toward a degree must:

1. Submit a completed application and other required forms.

2. Submit two (2) official transcripts of all previous academic work. (Gradu-
ates of Savannah State College will submit only official transcripts of col-
lege credits earned elsewhere after graduation from Savannah State
College.)

3. Test scores are not required for Non-Degree applicant.

Transcripts must be officially embossed copies sent directly from the institution
to the Graduate School at Georgia Southern University.

The completed application and all credentials should be received by the Grad-
uate School twenty (20) days before the beginning of the quarter in which the
student wishes to register. Materials submitted in support of an application be-
come the property of Georgia Southern University and cannot be forwarded or
returned.

166

Each completed application with supporting materials is referred to the school
or division in which the applicant proposes to study. The graduate faculty in the
department of the school or division in which the student plans to take the major
considers the application. Final consideration on each application is given by the
Dean of the Graduate School. Admission to the Graduate School does not imply
that the student is a candidate for an advanced degree. No commitment on this
matter is made until the student has been admitted to candidacy.

All applications should be addressed to:

Graduate School
Landrum Box 8113
Georgia Southern University
Statesboro, Georgia 30460-8113

Contact Persons: Anyone wishing information about the MPA Program may
write to Graduate Public Administration Program

PA 857 State government Administration -or-

PA 868 Intergovernmental Relations

B. Five Electives to be Chosen with Advisor

C. Internship in Public Administration (5, 10, or 15 hours depending upon
student's work experience)

Internship Requirements

The Internship in Public Administration is a major component of the MPA
Program.

167

The Internship provides each student an opportunity to apply knowledge
and skills acquired in the course work phase of the program.

Pre-service students serve a nine-month internship in an appropriate
agency or organization. In-service students, individuals who have already
established themselves in an area of employment before entering the MP A
Program, can fulfill the internship requirements at the existing agency or
organization. In-service students can typically complete the necessary In-
ternship paper in one quarter.

Pre-service students submit progress reports on the Internship each quarter.
Letter grades are awarded for these interns each term. However, in-service
students receive only the single grade. If their product is not complete at the
end of the quarter, they receive the grade "IP" (In Progress). This is changed
to a letter grade when the final product is approved.

Admission to Candidacy

It is the responsibility of the student pursuing a program leading to the Master
of Public Administration degree to make application for admission to candidacy
after completion of thirty hours of graduate work. Unless admitted to candidacy,
a graduate student may not continue graduate courses after earning thirty hours
of graduate credit without written permission of the Dean of the Graduate School.
The application should be filed with the Dean of the Graduate School. Approval
of the application is contingent upon the following certification by the Program
Director:

1. That the applicant has made satisfactory progress in a planned program of
study.

2. That applicant is classified or is eligible for classification as "Regular", in
the Graduate School

Preliminary Examination

Prior to admission to candidacy for the degree, the MPA Program Director may
require a preliminary examination for the candidate. The purpose of the exami-
nation is to determine the qualifications of the candidate and to make recom-
mendations of the advisability of his/her continuing in the program.

Terminal Examination*

A terminal examination, to be scheduled at least two weeks prior to graduation,
is required of all candidates for the degree of Master of Public Administration.
The final examination will be conducted by a committee consisting of members
of the faculty in the discipline appointed by the Program Director. The date of
the examination, the time, and place, will be set by the Associate Program Di-
rector and Program Director on the respective campuses after consultation with
each other.

The candidate is expected to demonstrate competency to discuss basic facts,
justify interpretations, and defend opinions.

The decision on the candidate's performance on the examination shall be re-
ported "pass with distinction," "pass", or "fail" to the Dean of the Graduate
School within five days after the examination on a standard form furnished by

16S

the Graduate School. Should the decision be reported as "fail," the candidate for
the degree will not be permitted a re-examination until the conditions set forth
by the committee have been met.

The candidate is eligible to receive the degree of Master of Public Administra-
tion upon completion of all course work in the planned program, a satisfactory
report on the examination, and an internship of three to nine months. Students
in this program are not required to submit a traditional master's thesis. All
matriculants are required to submit a comprehensive paper as part of the in-
ternship requirement.

The Program Director shall notify the Dean of the Graduate School, five days
prior to the examination, of the proposed date and time of the final examination
and the composition of the committee.

The Program Director shall notify the members of the examination committee
of appointment, time, and place of examinations.

* Not to be scheduled prior to admission to candidacy.

CREDIT BY TRANSFER

A graduate student may transfer credit from an accredited graduate school for
recording on a permanent record.

Maximum credit of ten quarter hours from an accredited graduate school may
apply toward a graduate degree provided:

a. The institution offers the graduate degree program for which the student
has been admitted at Georgia Southern University.

b. Two official transcripts are sent directly to the Graduate School from the
institution in which graduate work was taken.

c. The student has unqualified admission to a degree program when work
was taken.

d. The credit was earned no more than six years prior to date of completion
of the graduate degree.

e. The student's faculty advisor in consultation with the" associate and pro-
gram director should approve the transfer credit as apart of the student's
planned program of study.

A student pursuing the MPA degree at Georgia Southern University in affili-
ation with Savannah State College who plans to take graduate courses at another
institution as a transient student must have the Director or Associate Program
Director submit a request to the Graduate Dean for prior approval for any
course that the graduate student plans to take at another institution as a tran-
sient student to insure the fact that the course taken at another institution will
constitute a part of the planned program. Students who take courses without
prior approval are doing so with the possibility that the course may not count in
the program for the degree.

A student pursuing a graduate degree at Georgia Southern University who
enrolls at another institution to take the final courses in a degree program in the

169

spring quarter, if he/she plans to graduate in June, or in the summer quarter, if
he/she plans to graduate in August, will not be eligible to receive the degree at
the convocation in the quarter in which he/she is enrolled at another institution.

The student, upon request, will be furnished a statement that all requirements
for the degree have been completed when said requirements have been satisfied.

NO GRADE LOWER THAN A "B" IN A COURSE EARNED AT ANOTHER
INSTITUTION MAY BE ACCEPTED IN TRANSFER CREDIT TO COUNT TO-
WARD THE MPA DEGREE AT GEORGIA SOUTHERN UNIVERSITY IN AF-
FILIATION WITH SAVANNAH STATE COLLEGE.

REQUIREMENTS FOR GRADUATION

Subject to the limitations and qualifications stated elsewhere in this bulletin,
the requirements for an advanced degree are as follows:

a. A minimum of three quarters (one academic year) or three summer ses-
sions in residence.

b. Satisfactory completion of course work and other requirements appropriate
to the advanced degree for which the student is a candidate.

c. Present to the Dean of the Graduate School the application for the degree
prior to date listed in the official calendar.

d. Present to the Office of the Registrar an application for graduation not
later than the beginning of the final quarter before completing academic
requirements.

The beginning of the final quarter before completing academic require-
ments.

The beginning of the final quarter is interpreted to mean the last official
day of registration as stated in the official university calendar.

The graduation fee must be paid and all other financial obligations or
"holds" must be satisfied before a student is cleared for graduation.

COURSE REGISTRATION

A student admitted to the Graduate School must register for courses within
twelve months after admission to the Graduate School. An applicant who does
not register within the period of twelve months will be required to submit a new
application for admission at a later date. A student who reapplies must satisfy
all conditions for admission required at the time of reapplication. A student who
has been admitted to Graduate School and begins a program of study and fails
to enroll in any quarter following the period in which he/she initiated the course
work must notify the Graduate School Office of his intention to enroll in a sub-
sequent quarter and must complete a readmission form furnished by the Grad-
uate School office.

A student who has completed the stated objective in admission to Graduate
School must reapply for additional course work after completion of the objective.

REQUIRED ACADEMIC STANDING

An average of "B" must be maintained on all courses attempted in the Master
of Public Administration degree program. No grade below a "C" may apply to-
ward any degree. A student cannot graduate with less than a 3.0 GPA.

170

PROBATION AND EXCLUSION

A student whose average falls below 3.0 upon completion of any multiple of
three courses, or fifteen quarter hours, will be placed on probation. If the average
is below 3.0 when three additional courses, or fifteen quarter hours, have been
completed, he or she will be ineligible to continue graduate work. Only credit
earned in graduate courses at Georgia Southern University in affiliation with
Savannah State College may be used to repair deficiencies in grade point average.

STUDY LOAD

The normal course load for a graduate student is fifteen quarter hours and the
student may earn credit for no more than fifteen quarter hours in any one
quarter. A graduate student holding appointment as a graduate student holding
appointment as a graduate assistant may earn no more than ten quarter hours
of credit during any one quarter without special permission from the advisor,
Associate Director, Program Director, and Dean.

RESIDENCE AND TIME LIMITS

All work credited toward the degree must be completed in six years. Extension
of time, not to exceed the time limit included in the policy of the Graduate School,
may be granted only on conditions beyond control of the student. (This infor-
mation may be obtained from the Graduate School.) A formal request outlining
the conditions upon which the extension of time is made should be addressed to
the Dean of the Graduate School.

The minimum residence requirement for a Master's degree is one academic
year or three summer sessions.

CHANGE OF DEGREE PROGRAM OR MAJOR WITHIN A DEGREE
PROGRAM

With the approval of the Dean of the Graduate School, a student may change
his/her degree objective or major within a degree program provided he is in good
standing in his current program and has unqualified admission to the Graduate
School. The student will be required to satisfy, in full, the course requirements
as prescribed by his/her degree objective or major within a degree program pro-
vided he or she is in good standing in his current program and has unqualified
admission to the Graduate School. The student will be required to satisfy, in full,
the course requirements as prescribed by his/her new academic advisor and if
changing degree programs, the student must meet all admission requirements
for the new degree.

GRADING SYSTEM

The "A" grade may be interpreted to mean that the instructor recognized
exceptional capacities and exceptional performance.

The grade "B" signifies that the student has, for any combination of reasons,
demonstrated a significantly more effective command of the material than is
generally expected in the course.

The "C" grade is the instructor's certification that the student has demon-
strated minimal mastery of the required material.

The student is graded "D" when his/her grasp of the course is unsatisfactory.

171

The "F" grade indicates failure to master the essentials and the necessity for
repeating before credit may be allowed.

An incomplete grade "I" indicated that the student was doing satisfactory work
but was unable to meet the full requirements of the course due to non-academic
reasons beyond his control. An "I" must be removed by the end of the fourth
quarter (one calendar year) following the quarter in which it was recorded. It is
the student's responsibility to insure that the course work is completed. If the
"I"' 1 is not satisfactorily removed at the appropriate time it will be changed to
an "F".

An "S" indicates that credit has been given for completion of degree require-
ments other than academic course work.

The symbol "U" indicates unsatisfactory performance in an attempt to com-
plete degree requirements other than academic course work.

Neither "S", nor "U" is included in the computation of the grade point average.

A "W" is employed to indicate official withdrawal from a course without pen-
alty. It is assigned in all cases in which a student withdraws before the mid-point
of the quarter. Beyond the mid-term a "WF" will be assigned except in cases of
hardship as determined by the Dean of the Graduate School. A "W" is not con-
sidered in computing the grade point average. The "WF" is computed as an "F".

Any withdrawal from a course must be approved by the Dean of the Graduate
School. Any student who discontinues attending a class for which he/she is reg-
istered will receive an "F" unless he/she officially (by appropriate signatures)
withdraws from the course at the time he/she ceases to attend.

A student who registers for a course and finds that he/she has made an error
at registration must make the official change through drop/add. Under no con-
ditions may a student earn credit for a course unless he/she is registered officially
for the course. It is the student's responsibility to follow the proper procedures
in changing courses.

A student may not repeat any course for credit for which he/she has already
received a grade of C or better.

Application for the Degree

The candidate who expects to graduate in June commencement exercises must
file an application for graduation in the Graduate School Office at the beginning
of the spring quarter. A candidate for August graduation must file at the begin-
ning of the summer quarter. Application forms may be obtained in the Graduate
School Office. Application for or admission to candidacy does not satisfy this
obligation. See calendar for specific dates.

Graduate Credit

All courses in the MPA Program at Georgia Southern University in affiliation
with Savannah State College are numbered 800 and above.

Graduate credit is not allowed for work done in extension or by correspondence.
A student who has completed a degree program in a graduate school may not use
the same courses or any part thereof to satisfy course requirements for another
graduate degree.

Computer Science Technology and a double major in Mathematics and any area
of technical sciences. Minor programs in mathematics, earth sciences, and com-
puter science are available. The Department promotes an extensive interdiscipli-
nary approach that would provide students a sound educational background that
would make the students quite marketable and thus prepared for gainful em-
ployment, or prepared to pursue successfully courses in graduate study.

The main objectives of the Department of Mathematics, Physics, and Computer
Science Technology are: (1) to provide a program of study in mathematics, phys-
ics, physical environmental and computer sciences which will enable students to
achieve computational and problem solving skills, and understanding of basic
physical principles, and will enable them to apply these basic skills to their re-
spective areas of study; and (2) to provide students in mathematics, and computer
science technology with the theory and applications necessary for use in post-
baccalaureate study and/or in the work force, insights into physical and natural
laws, and the analytical and logical thinking necessary for the application of these
tools in the various fields as measured by departmental and national level ex-
aminations.

The Department of Engineering Technology offers courses leading to the degree
of Bachelor of Science, with majors in Chemical Engineering Technology, Civil
Engineering Technology, Electronics Engineering Technology, and Mechanical
Engineering Technology; and to the degree of Associate of Science with major in
Chemical Engineering Technology, and Computer Engineering Technology. The
computer, civil, electronics, and mechanical engineering technology
programs are accredited by the Technology Accreditation Commission
of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology. The Elec-
tronics Engineering Technology program is accredited by the National Associa-
tion of Radio and Telecommunications Engineers Inc., (NARTE) and the College
is a certified NARTE Testing Center.

Engineering technology embraces the physical sciences, mathematics, and the
practices and materials of modern industry which are utilized in the design and
construction of the machines, structures, highways, power sources, process sys-
tems, communication systems, and products needed to maintain a highly tech-
nical society. The activities of engineering technology are concerned with
translating the concepts and theories of professional engineers and scientists into
actual devices and products by using tests to provide data for rational solutions
and designs. These tests are followed by interpretations of data and preparation
of appropriate plans for use by skilled craftsmen who produce the devices and/or
products.

The objective of the engineering technology program is to provide students with
an educational experience that will allow them to succeed as engineering tech-
nologists. This process requires the college to provide opportunities for students
to acquire educational experiences that will allow them to apply scientific and
engineering knowledge and methods coupled with technical skills in support of
engineering activities.

REGISTRATION FOR PROFESSIONAL ENGINEER

To protect public safety each state establishes laws to license engineers involved
in projects affecting public health, safety and life. The registration process in-
volves written examination, professional work experience and professional rec-
ommendations.

Although it is not the goal of Savannah State College to offer programs to
prepare an individual to become a registered professional engineer, it is possible
for an engineering technology graduate to become registered in Georgia and some
other states. The requirements for registration as a professional engineer vary

212

from state to state with some states not allowing engineering technology gradu-
ates to become registered. Students considering registration as a professional
engineer should contact Dr. Pravin K. Raut for further information.

DEPARTMENT OF MILITARY SCIENCE

(ARMY ROTC)

CAPTAIN JOSEPH JOHNSON, Head
Sergeant First Class Wesley J. Batalona

Vera A. Trappio, 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 Arm-
strong 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 management
that will be useful in any facet of society. Male and female students are eligible
for enrollment. Each student is provided with a working knowledge of the organ-
ization 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 physically
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, United States Army Reserve, or the United States National
Guard 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 experience in management, logistics and
administration. Graduates may be granted a delay in reporting for duty for grad-
uate study if requested. A small number of outstanding students are designated
Distinguished Military Graduates and are offered commissions in the Regular
Army each year.

Basic Military Service

Basic military science courses involve six quarters during the 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

23S

developing the student's leadership, self-discipline, integrity and sense of respon-
sibility.

Advanced Military Science

The general objective of this course of instruction is to produce junior officers
who by education, training, attitude and inherent qualities are suitable for con-
tinued development as officers in the Army. There are two avenues available for
the student to be eligible for entry into the advanced program and obtain a com-
mission 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.

Placement

Veterans entering the military science programs will receive appropriate place-
ment credit for their active military service. Students who have completed mili-
tary 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.

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 pro-
vided 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 Bragg, N. C. Students attending this camp are paid at active army rates
and given travel allowance from their home to camp and return.

239

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 two- and three-year scholarships to outstand-
ing young men and women participating in the Army ROTC program who desire
careers as Army officers. The Army pays tuition, fees, books and laboratory ex-
penses incurred by the scholarship student. In addition, each student 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 uni-
forms, books and supplies by the Military Science Department. No fees or deposits
of any kind will be required. Uniforms must be returned before commissioning
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 323 to prepare for attendance at Advance
Camp. History 201 (American Military History) is normally taken the winter
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.

Professional Military Education (PME) Requirements

The Army's Professional Military Education requirements are established to
provide cadets with the training and enrichment necessary to successfully com-
pete in the Army. In addition to completing a baccalaureate degree, the cadet
must complete on undergratuate course from each of the five designated fields of
study. The five PME designated fields of study are listed below and the courses
that meet the cadet command PME requirements:

A. Written Communication Skills: ENG 092, 107, 108, 109.

B. Human Behavior: SOC 201, PSY 201, HIS 101, 102.

ADMISSION

Entering students who meet the following criteria: (1) have a composite Scho-
lastic Aptitude Test (SAT) score of less than 750 or above 750 but less than 350
on either the verbal or math section; or (2) have an American College Test (ACT)
composite score of less than 19; and/or (3) have not met the high school College
Preparatory Curriculum (CPC) requirement must pass 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 determine exemption from 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 por-
tion of the Collegiate Placement Examination (CPE) was lower than the passing
score given above. Such students must take appropriate Developmental Studies
courses (courses numbered 097 or 098).

Every Developmental Studies student is assigned to, and advised by a faculty
member in the Developmental Studies Department until the student exits all
developmental courses. When the student exits all courses, a change of advisor
form is initiated by the Developmental Studies advisor and sent by the student
to the dean of the school in which the student plans to pursue a major.

Third and fourth quarter Developmental Studies students are required to en-
roll for a maximum of thirteen credits unless they need all three developmental
studies courses. Students who are fifth quarter and beyond in the Developmental
Studies Program are required to enroll in only those developmental courses for
which they have not exited and may not enroll in any college level courses.

The philosophy of the Developmental Studies Program is that although there
are slow learners and fast learners, when provided with favorable learning con-
ditions, most students become very similar with regard to learning ability, rate
of learning, and motivation for further learning. The Program supports and is

244

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 strengthen
the reading skills of conditionally admitted students; (2) to strengthen the math-
ematical skills of conditionally admitted students; and, (3) to strengthen oral and
written communicative skills of conditionally admitted students. These objectives
are based on the desire of Developmental 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 or four attempts 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
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 accu-
mulate 30 credit hours or more and who has not successfully completed the
required Developmental Studies courses may enroll only in Developmental Stud-
ies courses until Developmental Studies requirements are successfully completed.

No degree credit will be awarded for Developmental Studies course work. In-
stitutional credit only will be awarded.

Entrance and Exit Requirements

A student who earns a scaled score below 70 on the required entry level Col-
legiate Placement Examination (CPE) must enroll in the corresponding 097
course. To pass an 097 course, a student must maintain a C average throughout
the quarter. A student who maintains an A or B in the 097 course is eligible to
sit for the exit examination(s).

A student who earns a scaled score of 70-74 on the required entry level CPE
must enroll in the corresponding 098 course. An 098 student who maintains a C
average throughout the quarter is eligible to sit for the exit examination(s).

To exit mathematics or reading, a student must earn a scaled score of 75 or
better on the CPE. To exit English, a student must pass the Exit Writing Sample
and must earn a scaled score of 75 or better on the CPE.

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

245

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 A, B, C, D, S, IP, F, W, V

Final Grades

S (Satisfactory), Student met all departmental requirements and is recom-
mended for a corresponding college level course;

A, B (Passed), Student passed 097 course objectives with a grade of A or B, but
failed the CPE. Student progresses to the corresponding 098 course for
further remediation;

C (Passed), Student passed course objectives, but was not eligible to sit for
the CPE. Student progresses to the corresponding 098 course for further
remediation;

D (Failure), Student passed 098 course objectives, but failed the CPE;

IP (Insufficient Progress), Student showed insufficient progress and must re-
peat the course or student met course objectives but did not sit for the
CPE (Grade will be modified if student subsequently sits for the CPE); and

W (Withdrew), Student withdrew before midquarter due to an emergency.

SUMMER SESSIONS

Special summer session courses are available to developmental students already
admitted for the Fall Quarter. Students may exit developmental courses during
the summer sessions.
