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;
Research.

INSTRUCTION consists of programs of study leading toward degrees, ranging
from the associate (two-year) level to the doctoral level, and certificates.

Requirements for admission of students to instructional programs at each institu-
tion 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 stu-
dents whose educational goal is a degree beyond the associate level, is in effect at
the universities, senior colleges, and junior colleges. This Curriculum requires 90
quarter-credit hours, including 60 in general education humanities, mathematics
and natural sciences, and social sciences and 30 in the student's chosen major
area of study It facilitates the transfer of freshman and sophomore degree credits
within the University System.

Instruction is conducted by all institutions.

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

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

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

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

RESEARCH encompasses investigations conducted primarily for discovery and
application of knowledge. These investigations include clearly defined projects in
some cases, non-programmatic activities in other cases. They are conducted on cam-
puses 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 con-
trol of the University System and the administrative actions of the Chancellor pro-
vide 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 depart-
ments thereof, a school for the education and training of Negro students." A commis-
sion was appointed to procure the necessary grounds and buildings, and to prescribe
a course of study that would include those studies required by the Morrill Land-
Grant Acts of 1862 and 1890.

The Commission on the School for Negro Students was designated as the Board of
Trustees for the School, with perpetual succession subject to the general Board of
Trustees of the University of Georgia. The Chancellor of the University of Georgia
was given general supervision of the school.

A preliminary session of the school was held between June 1 and August 1, 1891,
at the Baxter Street School building in Athens, Georgia. Richard R. Wright, the first
principal, and three other instructors comprised the faculty. In the following year
the school was moved to its present site, which is approximately five miles south-
east of the Courthouse of Savannah, Georgia, partly in Savannah and partly in
Thunderbolt. The school was given the name 'The Georgia State Industrial College
for Colored Youths," and its faculty consisted of Major Wright as President, instruc-
tors in English, mathematics, and natural sciences, a superintendent of the
mechanical department, and a foreman of the farm. The College awarded its first
baccalaureate degree in 1898.

During the thirty years that Major Wright served as President of the College,
enrollment increased from 8 to 585 and the curriculum was expanded to include a
normal division in addition to four years of high school. Training in agriculture and
the mechanical arts also was begun.

The first women students were admitted as boarders in 1921; the first summer
session was conducted in 1922; and in 1925 the governing body of the College was
changed from a Commission with "perpetual succession" to a Board of Trustees
whose members were appointed for four year terms. All of these changes occurred
during the presidency of C.G. Wiley, the first alumnus of the College to become pres-
ident, who served from 1921 to 1926.

Under President Benjamin F. Hubert (1926-1947), the entire academic program
was reorganized. The high school and normal departments were discontinued and
the school became a four-year college. In 1931, when the University System was
placed under a Board of Regents, the College began to offer additional bachelor's
degree programs with majors in English, the natural sciences, social sciences, and
business administration, as well as in agriculture and home economics.

Until 1947, the college served as the State Land-Grant Institution for Negroes. In
that year this function was assumed by Fort Valley State College.

During the administration of President James A. Colston (1947-1949), the faculty
was strengthened, and improvements were made in the physical plant. Among the
programs that were launched at this time were the Alumni Scholarship Drive,
Campus Chest, Annual Men's Day, Religious Emphasis Week, Freshmen Week, and
the Cultural Artists Series. Expanded programs of students personnel services, pub-
lic 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, 1950; he served in this
capacity until his death on July 26, 1963.

At the beginning of Dr. Payne's administration, Savannah State College was
granted membership in the American Council on Education. During the course of
his administration the curriculum was expanded and improved and the institution
was admitted to membership in the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools.
In addition, the academic program of the College was organized under seven divi-
sions Business Administration, Education, Humanities, Natural Sciences, Social
Sciences, Technical Sciences, and Home Study.

Timothy C. Meyers served as acting president from the time of Dr. Payne's death
until November 1, 1963. Meyers had served as dean of the faculty since September, 1953.

Under the leadership of Dr. Howard Jordan, Jr. (November 1, 1963 through
January 31, 1971), significant, far-reaching and innovative programs were initiated
in all aspects of the College's development. Curricula improvements in the general
education program in teacher education, and in business administration, as well as
other areas, were carried forward. A graduate studies program in elementary educa-
tion was initiated in the summer of 1968. The mantle of educational leadership at
Savannah State College passed from Dr. Jordan to Dr. Prince A. Jackson, Jr., on
February 1, 1971.

Many of the improvements and innovations begun during President Jordan's
administration came to fruition during the first year of Dr. Jackson's tenure. At the
time of this appointment, the new President was chairman of the Division of
Natural Sciences and director of the Institutional Self-Study which resulted in reac-
creditation of the College by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools in
December, 1971. During that same year the College was accredited by the National
Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE). The three engineering
technology programs civil, electronics, and mechanical were accredited by the
Engineers' Council for Professional Developments in 1973. President Jackson, the
second alumnus of the College to become its President provided vigorous and
dynamic leadership geared to the task of increasing all of the College's resources
and employing them to meet more effectively the rising aspirations of Black
Americans and other disadvantaged persons for a richer and more rewarding life.
Dr. Jackson served until March 27, 1978, when he was succeeded by Dr. Clyde W.
Hall, who at the time of his appointment as acting president was chairman of the
Division of Technical Sciences.

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

Additionally, on April 13, 1980 the Board of Regents of the University System of
Georgia approved a new Administrative organization plan for Savannah State
College for 1980-81. Under the plan Savannah State was reorganized into three
schools Business, Humanities and Social Sciences, and Sciences and Technology.
On September 15, 1980, Dr. Wendell G. Rayburn became the eighth president of

Savannah State College. Dr. Rayburn served the college for eight years. Under his
leadership on the undergraduate level academic programs in social work were initi-
ated 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 Savannah
State College. Dr. Bolden served as acting president until August 31, 1989.

On September 1, 1989, Dr. William E. Gardner, Jr. became the ninth president of
Savannah State College. On April 23, 1991, after serving with great promise for
twenty months, Dr. Gardner died. During his brief tenure as President, he initiated
several new programs. Among them were the following: Teacher Certification
Initiative; Advanced Water Technology Institute; and the Hospitality Management
Program.

At an assembly of the faculty, staff and students held on May 3, 1991, Dr. Annette
K. Brock was named Acting President by Dr. H. Dean Propst, Chancellor of the
University System of Georgia.

On August 1, 1993, Dr. John T. Wolfe, Jr. became the tenth President of Savannah
State College.

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.

WK. Payne Hall, a two-story air conditioned building, is a main classroom build-
ing. In addition to its fifteen classrooms, it also provides office space for thirty-two
instructors (including four departmental offices), data processing facilities, a secre-
tarial center, a language laboratory, a reading clinic and the Learning Resource
Center. Most of the classes in the English, Social Sciences, and Modern Languages
are held in this facility.

Other classroom buildings, and the Departments that each houses are Herty Hall
(1937) Mathematics and Physics; Hubert Technical Sciences Center (1960)
Engineering Technology and Chemistry; Morgan Hall (1936) and Morgan 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).

Completing the physical facilities of the campus are those buildings used for
activities that are auxiliary to the instructional process, those used as student resi-
dence 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. Adjacent
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 accommodations. 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 College
is a senior, residential unit of the University System of Georgia whose historic mis-
sion, while of continuing importance, has broadened to embrace individuals regard-
less 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 application from all who are interested 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 effec-
tively compete with their counterparts from other institutions for employment in
business, industry, human services, communications, government, and the military;
who succeed in post baccalaureate education, evidence broad intellect, uphold demo-
cratic principles and values, respect individual and cultural differences, and pro-
mote social justice.

Believing that a strong liberal arts foundation enhances career preparation and
promotes lifelong learning, the College requires students to complete a core curricu-
lum in the humanities, the sciences, and the social sciences in addition to the
requirements of their chosen fields of study. In the contest of a nurturing environ-
ment the College seeks to utilize the abundant possibilities for experiential and ser-
vice learning, the challenging potential of recent technology, and the richness 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,
research, 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 follow-
ing goals:

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

2. To prepare graduate students for careers in business, public administration,
and social work. Savannah State College's three graduate programs, in busi-
ness, 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;

4. To strengthen students' basic skills in communications, quantitative thinking
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 human
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 fitness
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,
DECREES, AND PROGRAMS

THE CORE CURRICULUM

All bachelor's degree programs and associate degree programs require that stu-
dents 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 citi-
zens in a democratic society: the humanities; mathematics and the natural sciences;
and the social sciences. General education is seen not only as the accumulation of
factual knowledge in these areas, but also as a pursuit of learning, attitudes, compe-
tencies, and values believed to give students a sense of meaning and direction in
their lives.

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

Area I. Humanities: 20 hours required

English 107-108-109 15 hours

Humanities 232 5 hours

Area II. Mathematics and Science: 20 hours required

Mathematics 10 hours

Two-quarter sequence in one

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

Area 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 pro-
vide 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

SCHOOLS

The curriculum of the College is delivered through three schools and one depart-
ment: The School of Business, The School of Humanities and Social Sciences, The

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 cer-
tificate 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. COLLEGE PREPARATORY REQUIREMENTS

A. The University System of Georgia's College Preparatory Curriculum
applies to all students described in the categories below who enroll in any
Savannah State College program, including associate degree transfer pro-
grams, that leads to the baccalaureate degree.

(1) Those students graduating from Georgia or out-of-state public or pri-
vate high school in spring 1988 or later. These requirements do not
apply to students who graduated prior to spring 1988 regardless of
when these students enroll in a Savannah State College program.

(2) Students who passed the GED in lieu of high school graduation if their
class graduated in spring 1988 of later. (The GED, in itself, does not
indicate fulfillment of College Preparatory Curriculum requirements.)

(3) Students whose high school class would graduate in spring 1988 or
later who are admitted through an Early Admissions Program.

(4) Transfer students who have not completed at least forty-five hours of
accepted transfer Core Curriculum credits with minimum of a 2.0
average.

(5) Students who transfer from University System programs which do
not require the College Preparatory Curriculum into programs lead-

ing to the baccalaureate degree unless they have completed at least
forty-five hours of accepted transfer Core Curriculum credits with a
minimum of a 2.0 average.

B. The University System of Georgia will accept Algebra I, Physical Science,
and Foreign Language taken in the Eighth Grade as fulfilling its College
Preparatory Curriculum requirements. Savannah State College will
accept these courses as fulfilling part of the College Preparatory
Curriculum requirements.

C. Course Areas: The courses used to satisfy the State Department of
Education's College Preparatory Curriculum will satisfy the University
System of Georgia's requirements.

(1) English - Four college preparatory courses which have as their emphasis
grammar and usage, literature (American, English, and World), and
advanced composition skills. There do not have to be three separate
courses representing each of these areas. Courses such as journalism,
speech, reading, vocabulary, and creative writing clearly do not apply.

(2) Mathematics - Two courses in algebra and one in geometry. Algebra I
taught over a two year period counts toward the fulfillment of only one
of the three math courses. A math course that is clearly more advanced
than a required course may be used as a substitute for that course.

(3) Science - Physical science plus at least two laboratory courses from
biology, chemistry, physics or related areas of science. Students may
fulfill the College Preparatory Curriculum science requirements by
taking an additional lab science in lieu of physical science. It is preferred
that the lab sciences be in different subject areas. General science may
not substitute for physical science.

(4) Social Science - In history students must have one unit each in
American and world history. Courses such as world studies, world
culture, geography, and ancient or medieval history will not satisfy these
history requirements. They must also have a third unit of social science .
For all Georgia public high school graduates this third unit will con-
sist of at least one quarter or semester of economics and one quarter
or semester of government, because this is a minimum requirement for
any public high school diploma.

(5) Foreign Language - In Foreign Language students must have two
courses in one language emphasizing 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 mathematics sec-
tion, 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 Learning
Support will be required to take the Collegiate Placement Examination (CPE)
for advisement and placement purposes. The Department of Learning Support
will notify students 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 academic adviser, a student may proceed in an
undergraduate degree program. Note: Students whose performance on the
CPE exempts them from the need for any Learning Support coursework will
be re-accepted to the degree program for which they originally applied.

Provisional Admission Requirements

1. Students who have not satisfied the College Preparatory Curriculum (CPC)
in the areas of social science, science, or foreign language will be required to
complete with a "C" grade or better one additional course in each area of defi-
ciency. Students will receive credit for courses used to satisfy College
Preparatory Curriculum deficiencies, but such credit may not be used to satisfy
Core Curriculum or degree requirements. Savannah State College uses the
following courses to satisfy CPC deficiencies in Science, Social Science and
Foreign Languages:

Science BIO 123 or CHE 101

or ENS 201 or PHS 203

Social Science SOS 111

Foreign Language SPA 161 or FRE 141
or GER 151

2. Students may fulfill College Preparatory Curriculum deficiencies in science,
social science, and foreign language through credit by examination or course
exemption by examination provided that any examinations used for credit or
exemption by examination are also used for other students and that the same
standards are applied to both groups of students.

3. Grades assigned to students satisfy College Preparatory Curriculum deficiencies
in science, social science, and foreign language will be in conformance with the
Uniform Grading Policy of the University System. Such grades will be included
in the student's quarter and cumulative grade point average, and credit hours
earned for these courses are to be counted in the student's total hours earned
for student classification and reporting purposes.

4. Students should register for courses which satisfy deficiencies in science, social
science, or foreign language during the student's first and each subsequent
quarter of enrollment until the deficiencies are satisfied.

A. Students who are native to Savannah State College or who transfer
within the University System of Georgia who earn 30 or more hours of col-
lege-level credit and who have not satisfied College Preparatory Curriculum
deficiencies in science, social science, or foreign language may not register
for other courses (except required Learning Support courses) unless they
also register for the appropriate deficiency course or courses.

B. Students transferring from outside the University System with fewer
than 45 credit hours of accepted transfer core curriculum credits, or from
a program not requiring the College Preparatory Curriculum should register
for any deficiencies immediately upon entering Savannah State College.
Such students who earn 30 or more hours of college credit at the institu-
tion or in the new degree program and who have not satisfied College
Preparatory Curriculum deficiencies in science, social science or foreign
language may not register for courses other than Learning Support
unless they also register for the appropriate deficiency course or courses.

Students may satisfy College Preparatory Curriculum deficiencies with
transfer courses which are normally accepted for Core Curriculum transfer
in Areas II and III and in which students have received 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 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 condition-
ally 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 admitted 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 Exam-
ination (CPE) in order to qualify for regular admission. This examination should be
taken before the student's first registration at the College.

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 Learning
Support student.

Students with College Preparatory Curriculum deficiencies in English must take
the CPE in English and in reading; those with College Preparatory Curriculum defi-
ciencies in mathematics must take the CPE in mathematics. These students shall
be screened in the same manner and according to the same standards as students
who are screened on the basis of their SAT/ACT scores. Students with English and
mathematics College Preparatory Curriculum deficiencies who are required to enter
Learning Support must follow all established requirements for Learning Support.

The requirements described in the paragraph above also apply to transfer stu-
dents with College Preparatory Curriculum deficiencies in English or mathematics,
Savannah State may accept college-level English or mathematics transfer credit
after the student has satisfied College Preparatory Curriculum deficiencies.

Special Categories of Students

A. No University System policies concerning College Preparatory Curriculum
deficiencies are to be waived for students with diagnosed learning disabili-
ties. Students who have been diagnosed as having a learning disability which
precludes the acquisition of a foreign language and who have graduated from
high school without completing the foreign language courses may undergo
testing based on the prescribed System criteria. If the diagnosis determines
that the attempt of a language course with modifications would be futile, the
student may petition through the institution to the System Committee on
Learning Disabilities to substitute an appropriate course (such as a course on
foreign cultures) for the language course to satisfy the CPC deficiency. The
documentation submitted by such students must be consistent with the definition
and criteria for evaluation provided in Section 2.22. Documentation must be
sent to the Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs at least one quarter in
advance of the time the accommodation is needed . The Committee may request
additional information in its consideration of the institution's recommenda-
tion. If the Committee approves the request, the admitting institution will

determine the course substitution. Although institutions may not waive the
College Preparatory Curriculum requirements, Savannah State will attempt
to accommodate the special needs of students with learning disabilities in order
to assist them in meeting these requirements.

Students with physical disabilities will receive reasonable accommodations in
meeting the CPC requirements. If a student's disability precludes the acquisi-
tion of a foreign language, appropriate substitutions will be made. For exam-
ple, hearing-impaired students may meet the foreign language requirement
through proficiency in American Sign Language or a course on foreign culture

No exceptions to the CPC requirements should be made for home study students.

Students whose native language is not English may be considered to have
met the CPC foreign language requirements if they are proficient in their
native language. A formal examination is not necessary if other evidence of
proficiency (for example, attendance at a school conducted in the native lan-
guage) is available or the student acknowledges English as a second language
by meeting the institutional requirement for ESL 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 col-
lege credit hours with a 2.0 minimum grade point average. All College Preparatory
Curriculum and Developmental Studies requirements apply to students in this cate-
gory 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 require-
ment also applies to students enrolled in University System of Georgia institu-
tions that do not require the College Preparatory Curriculum 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 requirements. 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 tran-
scripts 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 aca-
demically eligible to return to the college or university last attended, or
unless the officials of the institution last attended recommended the appli-
cant's admission.

5. Transfer applicants will be considered for admission to Savannah State
College if on all work attempted at other institutions, their academic perfor-
mance as shown by their grade-point-average is equivalent to the minimum
standard required by Savannah State College students by comparable stand-
ing. (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" in the CORE CURRICULUM AREAS except for major,
minor and English courses. College credit will not be allowed for such courses
as remedial English, remedial mathematics, remedial reading 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 military
service schools shall not exceed a total of 45 quarter hours.

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

11. Transfer credit may be accepted from degree granting institutions that are
accredited at the collegiate level by their appropriate regional accrediting
agency. Provisions may be considered when an institution appeals the policy.
In certain areas students may be required to validate credits by examination.
In computing cumulative grade averages, only the work attempted at
Savannah State will be considered.

12. If the Core Curriculum requirements in Area I (Humanities), Area II (Sciences),
and/or Area III (Social Sciences) have been completed in a University System
or Georgia institution, each completed area will be accepted as having met
the respective area requirement at Savannah State College.

13. An official evaluation of all previous college credit earned will be done during
the first quarter of the applicant's attendance provided that all transcripts
are on file. Transfer credit will be awarded from institutions listed in the
American Association of College Admission Officers and Registrars as being
accredited.

14. Students who complete course work and exit an area of Learning Support
shall not be required to re-enter that area of Learning Support upon transfer
to another University System Institution.

15. 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 sixty (60) or more earned degree credit hours
shall take the Regents Test during the initial quarter of enrollment and in
subsequent quarters shall be subject to all provisions of this policy.

DEVELOPMENTAL STUDIES
TRANSFER STUDENT POLICY

Conditionally admitted transfer students must meet the same admission require-
ments 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 ordinarily be
one who expects to return to the college in which he was previously enrolled.

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

REGENTS STATEMENT OF DISRUPTIVE

BEHAVIOR

The following statement is the policy of the Board of Regents regarding disrup-
tive behavior in any institution of the University System. The rights, responsibili-
ties and prohibitions described in this statement are incorporated as a part of these
regulations.

The Board of Regents of the University system of Georgia reaffirms its policies to
support fully freedom of expression by each member of the academic community
and to preserve and protect the rights and freedoms of its faculty members to
engage in debate, decision, peaceful and nondisruptive protest and dissent. The fol-
lowing 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 stu-
dents 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 delib-
erately interfered with the regular orderly operation of the institution concerned.

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 activi-
ties thus have become clearly recognizable as an action of force, operating outside
all established channels on the campus, including that of intellectual debate and
persuasion which are at the heart of education.

The Board of Regents is deeply concerned by this new problem. Under the
Constitution of the State of Georgia, under all applicable court rulings, and in keep-
ing with the tradition of higher education in the United States, The Board is ulti-
mately responsible for the orderly operation of the several institutions of the
University System and the preservations of academic freedom in these institutions.
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 univer-
sity 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, admin-
istrator, or employee, acting individually or in concert with others, who clearly
obstructs or disrupts, or attempts to obstruct or disrupt any teaching research,
administrative, disciplinary or public service activity, or any other activity autho-
rized to be discharged or held on any campus of the University System of Georgia is
considered by the Board to have committed an act of gross irresponsibility and shall
be subject to disciplinary procedures, possibly resulting in dismissal or termination
of employment.

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

CLASS STANDING, GRADES, AND
COURSE LOADS

Classification of Students

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

Freshman - fewer than 45 quarter hours

Sophomore - 45 through 89 quarter hours

Junior - 90 through 134 quarter hours

Senior - 135 or more quarter hours

Graduate - student who has been formally admitted to graduate study

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

STUDENT LOAD

The normal academic work load is 15 hours per quarter for undergraduate stu-
dents 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. Students who maintain an average of 3.00
during any quarter may secure permission to take additional hours during the fol-
lowing quarter, the total not to exceed twenty (20) hours. Additionally, students
whose general average is 3.00 or better may be permitted to take quarter hours in
excess of a normal load up to a limit of twenty (20) 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). In the
case of students within two quarters of graduation, advisors may recommend the
overload to the dean.

THE GRADING SYSTEM

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

Grade Meaning Quality Point Value

A Excellent 4 per credit hour

B Good 3 per credit hour

C Average 2 per credit hour

D Poor 1 per credit hour

F Failure per credit hour

WF Withdrew, failing per credit hour

P Pass per credit hour

IP In Progress

V Audit

K Credit per credit hour

NR Not Reported per credit hour

The grade "F' indicates that the student has failed to meet the minimum require-
ments of the course.

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

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

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

W (Withdrawal) This symbol indicates that a student was permitted to withdraw
without penalty. Withdrawals without penalty will not be permitted after the midpoint
of the total grading period (including final examinations), except in cases of hard-
ship 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 register, 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.

NR (Noncredit) This symbol indicates no grade reported by the instructor.

Note:

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

Lecture Lab Credit

5 5

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 depart-
ment heads coordinating activities within their respective areas and assigning advi-
sors to regularly admitted students who have declared a major. If a student is
admitted as a "Provisional" student, i.e. . with a deficiency in reading, writing, or
mathematics, the student is advised by the faculty of the Department of Develop-
mental 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 assigned 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. Students will con-
tinue 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 appro-
priateness of the academic program they have selected as well as the appropriate-
ness of the schedules of courses selected by the advisee to the timely completion of

that program. In addition, the advisor has the responsibility of monitoring the acad-
emic progress of advisees, and so assisting them in evaluating their progress and in
making decisions about their present and future academic careers based upon that
evaluation.

Advisors of junior and senior students will concern themselves specifically with
the student's progress toward graduation, maintaining a continually updated record
of courses taken and grades received. The advisor will also assist advisees in com-
pleting the Application for Graduation, and will certify to the Director of Admissions
and Records that all requirements had been met up to the time that the Application
was prepared.

CLASS ATTENDANCE

Savannah State College endeavors to provide optimum conditions for student
learning. Class attendance is, therefore, required of students to ensure they will be
exposed to the many classes, laboratories and related experiences that are provided
for their benefit. It is recognized that extenuating circumstances may at times make
it difficult for students to attend every class meeting. Should a student be unable to
attend a class, it is his/her responsibility to notify the professor of the reasons for
such absences, and to arrange with the professor the conditions under which any
required work that was missed may be made up. Credit may or may not be awarded
for any course if the number of absences exceeds the number of times that the class
meets per week.

During the first week of each quarter, professors will notify each class of the
attendance policy, emphasizing what constitutes excessive absences, and the
penalty 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 the Registrar the grade reports for each class. These reports are prepared
in multiple copies, with copies for the Office of the Registrar, the academic vice pres-
ident, the department head, and the instructor. In addition, each student receives a
Grade Report at the end of each quarter containing the grades and credit hours
earned in each course in which he was enrolled, his grade-point average for the
quarter, and his 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 recommendation
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 satis-
factory to the student is not effected, the student may challenge the grade by writ-
ing 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 accom-
plished within 14 days of the first day of classes of that quarter. If a resolution satis-
factory to the student is not effected, the department head may appoint a review
committee (exclusive of both the department head and the instructor). The review
committee, after hearing both the instructor and the student, submits its report and
recommendation to the academic vice-president (through the department head). If
the vice-president accepts the review committee's recommendation that the grade be
changed or if he reverses a recommendation that a grade not be changed, he directs
the registrar to make the appropriate change on the student's record. The student must
show adequate evidence of unfair grading for the department head to grant a hearing.

CALCULATING THE CUMULATIVE AVERAGE

Determinations of scholastic standing are generally based upon a cumulative
grade point average which appears on each student's permanent record. The cumu-
lative 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 acad-
emic credit hours attempted at Savannah State College. Credits earned in other
institutions, credit by examination, credits which carry S/U grades, institutional
credit courses, and courses specifically excluded by college policy are not used in
computing the cumulative grade point average.

ically 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 educa-
tion 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 grad-
uate and professional study and ultimately for the assuming of leadership roles in
their professions and in society-at-large.

WITHDRAWING FROM COLLEGE

Students at Savannah State College are regarded as young adults who are capa-
ble of making mature decisions, with minimum counseling, about their educational
plans. Accordingly, any student who feels that the circumstances require his with-

drawal from the College may do so by filing the appropriate forms in the office of
the Vice-President for Student Affairs.

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

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

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

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

ACCESS TO STUDENT RECORDS

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

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

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

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

Savannah State College's written policy on "Access to Student Records" complies
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
attended by the student.

Any student, or parent of a student who is under eighteen (18), may refuse to per-
mit 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 quar-
ter during which the student is enrolled. This time requirement is necessary to
insure that directory information which is withheld is not included in the various
college publications during the year. Of course, requests to withhold the release of
directory information will be honored at any time, but the college cannot be reason-
ably certain that some directory information will not be released if the aforemen-
tioned time limits are not met. The Student Directory is usually published during
the Fall Quarter; obviously, requests received after press time cannot delete infor-
mation from this and similar publications, and previously released information can-
not be recalled.

Inquiries from news media about students or former students should be directed 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 information withheld should notify
the Director of Public Relations prior to the anticipated date of any media inquiry.

STUDENT RECORDS

Transcripts

A student may request a copy of his/her complete transcript from the Registrar.
This request must be written; telephone requests are not accepted. Allow two weeks
for processing official transcripts.

Transcript services can be legally denied to students due to outstanding debts to
Savannah State.

Change of Address

Students are responsible for notifying the Registrar's office of any change in
address. The mailing of notices to the last address on record constitutes official noti-
fication.

COASTAL GEORGIA CENTER FOR
CONTINUING EDUCATION

The Coastal Georgia Center for Continuing Education was established in 1979 to
combine the resources of both Armstrong State College's Community Service
Division and Savannah State College's Extended Services Area. Utilizing a
Downtown Center located at 305 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,

schools, community centers and other locations in Savannah. Instructors are drawn
from the faculties of both institutions, from qualified experts in the Savannah com-
munity 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 com-
munity 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, sem-
inars 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 unsatis-
factory completion of a course. Continuing Education Units are awarded partici-
pants who successfully complete a course, and a record of enrollments maintained.

Correspondence Study

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

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

College correspondence study is designed as an auxiliary to regular campus class-
room 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 Savannah
State College under the following conditions:

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

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

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

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

Students desiring to have correspondence credit counted toward graduation
should obtain written permission from the dean of the school in which the student 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, Savannah,
Georgia 31404.

PREPROFESSIONAL PROGRAMS

Savannah State College offers preprofessional training for persons interested in
pursuing such paramedical careers as medical technology, nursing, physical ther-
apy, medical illustration, and medical secretary. Preprofessional study is also pro-
vided for persons desiring to enter the professions of engineering, law, medicine,
veterinary medicine, dentistry and pharmacy.

GEORGIA INTERN PROGRAM

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

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 access
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, certain
programs may require a higher GPA and completion of prerequisites. Students 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 the 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-knowledge, 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 $380.00 per quarter and to
take the three-meal plan at the rate of $460.00 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 $100.00 with their requests for room assign-
ment. This will serve as a damage/room clearance deposit to be refunded upon with-
drawal from the College or at the end of the year upon proper clearance with the
Housing Office and the absence of any damage to the room. If the student is not
accepted by the College, the $100.00 will be returned in full. An applicant who, after
acceptance for admission, decided not to enroll at Savannah State College may be
refunded the $100.00 deposit by requesting a refund in writing as follows:

Term Refund Due

Fall Quarter 1994 July 31, 1994

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 des-
ignated 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 proce-
dure for withdrawing should write or have someone write to the Vice-President 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 follow-
ing 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 with-
draw 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 following registra-
tion, 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 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 nonresident 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 dis-
tributed in accordance with the following formula set forth by the Title IV
Regulations:

Total amount of Title IV aid (excluding CWS) Amount to be returned

Total Refund x Awarded for the payment period = 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 the 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.

UNIVERSITY SYSTEM OF GEORGIA
RESIDENCY REQUIREMENTS

To be considered a legal resident of Georgia, the applicant must establish the fol-
lowing facts to the satisfaction of the Registrar.

1. (a) If a person is 18 years of age or older, he or she may register as a 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 reg-
istration.

(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 stu-
dent 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 imme-
diately preceding the date of registration.

Active duty military personnel and their spouses and legal dependents stationed
in Georgia may qualify for waiver of nonresident tuition. Military personnel should
contact the Education Center at their installation for information about current
financial and other assistance available to them as members of the armed forces. All

military personnel planning to use military tuition assistance programs to defray
expenses associated with matriculation at Savannah State College should be sure to
coordinate with the Registrar for guidance as to procedures.

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 gradua-
tion. Information relative to these tests is available in the student's academic
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 performance,
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 application is filed. The student's
major department will conduct an audit and inform the student of any remaining
requirements. The Registrar conducts an independent audit to insure that all
degree requirements will have been satisfied.

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR THE
BACCALAUREATE DEGREE

1. A minimum of 185 quarter hours, exclusive of the required health, physical
education, and orientation courses.

2. A scholastic average of 2.0 or higher.

dence.

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

NOTE:

Graduation requirements include a 2.00 minimum graduation grade point average
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 computed in the
manner prescribed in The Grading System and Cumulative Grade Point Average
sections of the General Catalog. Credits earned in other institutions or by examina-
tion, 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 acade-
mic requirements. It is the student's responsibility to see to it that incomplete
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 graduation
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, certain minimum skills of
reading and writing.

The Regents' Testing Program has been developed to help in the attainment of
this goal. The objectives of the Testing Program are: (1) to provide Systems
wide information on the status of student competence in the areas of reading
and writing; and (2) to provide a uniform means of identifying those students

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

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

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

INSTITUTIONAL POLICIES REGARDING
THE REGENTS' TESTING PROGRAM

All students enrolled in undergraduate degree programs are required to pass the
Regents' Examination in reading and writing prior to graduation.

Requirements

1. Students who have earned forty-five (45) credit hours and passed English 107
and 108 are REQUIRED to take Regents' Examination during the next quar-
ter of enrollment after having earned forty-five credit hours.

2. Students who have earned sixty (60) credit hours (regardless of the English
courses passed) are REQUIRED to take Regents' Examination during the
next quarter of enrollment after having earned sixty credit hours.

3. First time examines must take both parts of the Examination in one adminis-
tration.

4. First time examines are required to sit for the Regents' Testing Program "Test
Preparation Seminar" prior to taking the Examination. This seminar is
jointly sponsored by the staff of the Comprehensive Counseling Center and
the Vice-President for Academic Affairs. A student may be excused from this
seminar only by the Dean of the School in which the student is enrolled.

5. Students who fail to sit for the Examination as required under numbers 1
and 2 above will be suspended.

6. Students who pass both parts of the Examination in one administration or in
separate administrations will be considered to have met the Regents'
Examination requirements.

7. Those students who, prior to January 1, 1980, failed to pass both parts of the
Examination in one administration, but who passed both parts in separate
administrations, are now considered to have met the Regents' Examination
requirement. If these students have completed all other graduation require-
ments, their date of graduation (the date which will appear on the diploma)
will be the first institutional graduation date after January 1, 1980.

Remediation for Regents' Examination

Students who have not passed the Regents' Examination before they earn 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 English 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 stu-
dents complete the remediation courses. Failure to enroll in these required remedia-
tion 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 labo-
ratory instruction each quarter. Grades in English 092 and 093 will be "S"
(Satisfactory), "IP" (In Progress), or "U" (Unsatisfactory). No other grade will be
given for either course.

Savannah State College students who may be jointly enrolled at other System
schools are required to take their Regents' Examination remedial courses at
Savannah State College.

Students who have failed to pass both parts of the Examination must register for
both English 092 and English 093. These courses must not be taken concurrently;
for example, students must take English 092 during the first five weeks of a quarter
and English 093 during the second five weeks of that same quarter. Students
required to take both English 092 and English 093 in a single quarter will not be
permitted to enroll for more than five (5) regular credit quarter hours.

Students who are required to take either English 092 or English 093 will not be
permitted to enroll for more than ten (10) regular credit hours.

Students who have met all other requirements for graduation may register for
both English 092 and 093 concurrently.

Failure to sit for the Examination during the quarter in which remediation is
taken will result in suspension for one quarter. Students who have been suspended
for failure to sit for the Examination when required must re-enroll for remedial
courses during their next quarter of enrollment and they must also sit for the
Examination that quarter. If these students fail to enroll in remediation their regis-
tration will be cancelled.

Student Responsibility

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

Academic Advising

Academic advisors should verify compliance with this policy before signing-off on
class schedules of their advisees. Accordingly, academic advisors should:

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 will 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 uni-
versities 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 origi-
nal scoring. Scoring will follow the normal holistic procedure.

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

2. A student must initiate the review procedure by mid-term of his first quarter
of enrollment after the quarter in which the essay was failed. The review
must be initiated, however, within one calendar year from the quarter in
which the failure occurred.

3. The review will be initiated at Savannah State College by the student's com-
pleting a "Request for Review" form available at the Office of the Regents'
Test Coordinator. The Regents' Coordinator will determine the student's eligi-
bility based upon the criteria in paragraphs 1 and 2 above. The review, if war-
ranted, will be conducted by a three-member panel (composed of two English
instructors and one additional person) appointed by the Vice-President of the
College and designated as the on-campus review panel.

4. The on-campus review panel may (1) sustain, by majority opinion, the essay's
failing score, thus terminating the review process, or (2) recommend, by
majority opinion, the re-scoring of the essay by the Regents' Testing Program
central office. The Regents' Test Coordinator will notify the student of the
results of the on-campus review.

5. If the on-campus review panel recommends re-scoring of the essay, the
Regents' Test Coordinator will transmit that recommendation in writing
along with a copy of the essay, to the office of the System's Director of the
Regents' Testing Program.

The System's Director will utilize the services of three (3) experienced
Regents' essay scorers other than those involved in the original scoring. The
decision of this panel on the merits of the essay will be final, thus terminat-
ing the review process. The Regents' Test Coordinator will notify the student
of the results of the review.

6. All the applicable regulations of the Regents' Test Policy remain in effect for
those students whose essays are under review, including those regulations
relating to remediation and to retaking the Test.

Registration Procedures for the Regents' Exam

The Director of Testing, Whiting Hall, will publish the dates and times for stu-
dents required to take the Regents' Test each Quarter. Students are notified of the
Regents' Examination requirement on their Registration Form. Failure to take the
test at the prescribed time will result in disciplinary action ranging from a repri-
mand to a 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 assis-
tance 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 perma-
nent 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 edu-
cational 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 Supplemental Loan
for Students/Plus programs. You must be enrolled full-time to receive the Student
Incentive Grant and Regents' Scholarship.

A. GRANTS

1. Federal Pell Grant This grant is designated for undergraduate students
working toward a first bachelor's degree, the amount of the grant is deter-
mined by the Cost of Attendance, the Expected Family Contribution
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 (SEOG)
This grant is designated for undergraduate students and eligibility is
based on Established Financial Need.

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

B. LOANS

1. Federal Perkins Loan Loan eligibility is based on Established Financial
Need, Repayment of the loan begins nine months after a student gradu-
ates, 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 satis-
fied 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 Undergraduate
Students These loans are educational loans to parents of undergradu-
ate students, independent undergraduate students, or to graduate stu-
dents. 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 pay-
ments of the loan while the student is attending school. Contact the lender
for details. Federal Pell Grant and Federal Stafford Loan eligibility must
be determined prior to certification 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 College. 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 num-
ber of months before repayment begins (the grace period). If the student
falls below half-time enrollment, the grace-period will begin. It is the stu-
dent's responsibility to notify the lender when he/she leaves school. The
amount of the monthly payment will be determined by the lender based
upon the cumulative loan amount and federal regulations. First-time bor-
rowers will be contacted by the Financial Aid Office to satisfy entrance
interview requirements.

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' Benefit

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 vet-
eran'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 veteran who will be transferring to Georgia State from
another institution where educational benefits were received to process a "Request
for Change of Program or Place of Training" form with the VA Regional Office con-
currently with his/her application to Savannah State College. As soon as the appli-
cant 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 the Registrar, veteran students
should pay particular attention to the following:

1. Veteran student may be certified for benefits only after having been accepted
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-graduate (PG) or
post-baccalaureate (PB) will not be certified for benefits while attending in
those classifications, unless enrolled in an approved certification program.

2. Students may be certified for only those courses which apply to their formal
and designated degree objective. Certain required remediation and/or prereq-
uisite courses may be certified for benefits, but only if those courses are
specifically required of the student, and the requirement is appropriately doc-
umented in the Office of the Registrar.

3. Students receiving benefits are required to notify the Veterans Coordinator
whenever their attendance in a course or programs is interrupted, or whenever
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 certi-
fications at the beginning of the next quarter of attendance in which they
wish to receive benefits. Developmental Studies students, students on active
military duty, and students attending on a less-than-half-time basis must
renew their certifications each quarter. These students who are certified on a
quarterly basis will routinely experience a break in benefit payments
between terms and should contact the Veterans Administration regional
Office to ascertain the amount and schedule of their checks.

7. Veterans with discharges (DD-214) are exempted from taking physical educa-
tion (P.E.) courses. They can provide a copy of their DD-214 and receive up to
6 credit hours of P.E. 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.

VETERANS SERVICES

Any veteran or eligible dependent of a veteran who wishes to attend Savannah
State College under any one of the veterans' benefit programs should make applica-
tion in the usual manner to the Registrar. This office advises former service men
and women who are eligible for benefits under the G.I. Bill and children of veterans
or war orphans who are eligible for VA training allowance benefits. The veterans'
counselor makes application for benefits to the Veterans' Administration.
Certification of enrollment and program of education must be made to the Veterans'
Administration through the Registrar.

A full-time veterans' counselor is available in the Registrar's Office to assist stu-
dents enrolling under the G.I. Bill in processing enrollment forms and with other
problems relating to veterans' benefits.

Veterans and other eligible persons entitled to Veterans' Administration
Educational Benefits may be certified to the Veterans' Administration for a total of
45 equivalent credit hours in Developmental Studies. Only 15 hours may be
attempted in each of the basic skills.

The need for enrollment in Developmental Studies must be established by test-
ing, counseling, and recommendation of a faculty member.

Veterans are encouraged to take advantage of college credit they may be eligible
to receive as a result of their military training, as well as the credit by examination
programs.

STANDARDS OF SATISFACTORY ACADEMIC

PROGRESS FOR STUDENTS RECEIVING

FEDERAL STUDENT AID FUNDS

(Title TV)

Savannah State College is required by the U.S. Department of Education to
establish minimum standards of satisfactory academic progress. Satisfactory acade-
mic progress means that the student is proceeding in a positive manner toward ful-
filling degrees requirements. The Satisfactory Academic Progress policy includes
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 Proba-
tion 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 desig-
nated number of total hours attempted as follows:

Stages of Progress Required Minimum

Quarter Hours Cumulative Average
0-45 1.5

46-90 1.7

91 and above 2.0

Students will be considered enrolled for any quarter in which they receive 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 computa-
tion of the cumulative grade average. Total hours attempted consist of all
hours attempted at Savannah State (including 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 readmission.
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

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 continuance
study. Termination of students will follow policies and procedures 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 Graduate
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 aver-
age while on probation, they are dismissed.

C. Development 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 sus-
pended 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 Developmental
Studies. Readmitted students not exiting Developmental Studies 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 stu-
dents. Time frame is measured by the office of Student Financial Aid using the fol-
lowing satisfactory academic progress time table:

Number of

Required Minimum

Number of

Required Minimum

Quarters

Cumulative

Enrolled

Hours Earned

Enrolled

Hours Earned

105

117

130

143

156

169

182

195

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

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 Financial
Aid Committee using a prescribed form on which the student offers reasons
why he did not achieve minimum academic requirements and why his aid
should not be terminated.

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

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 com-
mitted to having disabled students in barrier-free environments which are designed
to enhance learning opportunities. The College also has a wide array of support ser-
vices which help to make the college experience challenging and rewarding. The fac-
ulty and staff are easily accessible to all students. Savannah State College
welcomes your application for admissions.

For further information regarding the services for disabled students please contact:

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 dif-
ferent from those for the dormitories. Assignment to living areas is based on sex and
classification. Additional criteria are used for apartment residency. Expectant moth-
ers are not allowed to remain in dormitories.

Residence on campus complements classroom instruction. Education, as well as
recreational and cultural, programs are available in the residence halls. There are
certain regulations in place to insure that the living/learning processes of students
are not unduly interfered with. Such regulations can be found in this catalog and
publications distributed by the Office of Student Affairs and the Office of Housing.

The policies of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia
require that all campus residential units for students be filled before stu-
dents are permitted to live off-campus. All students below the senior year (135
quarter hours) are required to live on campus, unless a condition below exists:

a. A student is married and furnishes proof thereof;

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

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

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

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

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

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

Students who are required to live in residence halls are also required to purchase
a meal plan. Students who have diets prescribed by physicians may be exempted, if
the College Cafeteria is unable to prepare the diet meals. Hot plates and other cook-
ing devices are prohibited. If found in rooms, they will be confiscated 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 exem-
plify 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 deter-
mining guilt or innocence and appropriate sanction, students are also responsible in
some cases for their actions due to negligence.

The following actions constitute some examples of misconduct for which students
may receive disciplinary action, including suspension and dismissal when commit-
ted on or away from college property (for additional details, see the Savannah 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
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

XIV. 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 investi-
gation to determine whether to drop the case, or send a letter of notification
to the accused student.

3. Administrative Interview

If a formal charge is made to the accused, either by certified letter or in per-
son, the Vice-President will instruct the accused to contact the Office for Stu-
dent Affairs to arrange an administrative interview to discuss the complaint.
In addition to the specific charge, attached to the Vice-President's interview
letter will be copies of all documents pertinent to the alleged incident that are
known at that time. The Vice-President will request a meeting with other
necessary relevant parties on an individual basis. However, the Vice-President
or accused student may ask to have more than one relevant 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 Discipline 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. 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, notwithstanding the
student's subsequent application for review to the Board of Regents.

The Discipline Committee

The Discipline Committee (comprised of faculty, staff, and students) adjudicates
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 of the Vice-President for
Student Affairs or the Discipline Committee on the following grounds. Additional
grounds may be asserted by the appellant, as appropriate.

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 recommenda-
tions 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 estab-
lished that the Vice-President or a Discipline Committee member was inca-
pable 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.

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 career
a unique opportunity to obtain extraordinary career flexibility.

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

Enriched knowledge and understanding of the nature, circumstances, and aspira-
tions of people are derived from historical, literary, social, philosophical, and theo-
logical studies, which are traditionally called humanistic. Therefore, the mass
communications program utilizes these disciplines to assist students in the develop-
ment of basic insights into human nature and in the acquisition of humanistic prin-
ciples 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.

Purpose

The School of Humanities and Social Sciences is strongly committed to the devel-
opment of the intellectual, social, and professional competence of individuals.
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 dedi-
cated to service through educational programs, community involvement, faculty and
student research, and scholarship. By offering advanced professional training, the
program prepares individuals for positions of responsibility at all levels of govern-
ment, education and business. Students are introduced to administrative, manager-
ial, 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) tran-
scripts 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 portions 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 individ-

158

ually evaluated within the context of the total applicant package; (d) letters of refer-
ence 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 required. 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 require-
ment is keyed to previous and 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 recommended
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 condi-
tions 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 Graduate School for
reclassification when the conditions have been met. A student initiating grad-
uate 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 stu-
dent has met the conditions specified at the time of admission and has been
reclassified.* Failure to satisfy the conditions in the specified time limit will
result in the student's ineligibility to continue work in the Graduate School. A
STUDENT MAY NOT BE ADMITTED TO CANDIDACY UNTIL THE STU-
DENT 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 pro-
gram) 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 fol-
lowing categories:

159

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.

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 Education
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 classifica-
tion may reapply for a degree program by submitting proper credentials.
GRADUATE CREDIT EARNED UNDER THIS CLASSIFICATION MAY
NOT COUNT ON A DEGREE PROGRAM EXCEPT UNDER SPECIAL CON-
DITIONS 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 stu-
dent must submit, prior to registration, an application and certification that he or she
is in good standing in a recognized graduate school in another institution and that
he or she wishes to enroll in the MPA Program at Georgia Southern 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. (Graduates
of Savannah State College will submit only official transcripts of college cred-
its earned elsewhere after graduation from Savannah State College.

wishes to register. Materials submitted in support of an application become the
property of Georgia Southern University and cannot be forwarded or returned.

160

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

Program.

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

161

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 MPA Program, can fulfill
the internship requirements at the existing agency or organization. In-service
students can typically complete the necessary Internship 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 stu-
dents 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 gradu-
ate student may not continue graduate courses after earning thirty hours of gradu-
ate 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 examina-
tion is to determine the qualifications of the candidate and to make recommenda-
tions 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 exami-
nation, the time, and place, will be set by the Associate Program Director and
Program Director on the respective campuses after consultation with each other.

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

The decision on the candidate's performance on the examination shall be reported
"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 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 Administration
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 pro-
gram are not required to submit a traditional master's thesis. All matriculants are
required to submit a comprehensive paper as part of the internship requirement.

162

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 program
director should approve the transfer credit as a part of the student's planned
program of study.

A student pursuing the MPA degree at Georgia Southern University in affiliation
with Savannah State College who plans to take graduate courses at another institu-
tion 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 transient 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
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

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 information 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 provided 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 excep-
tional 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 gener-
ally expected in the course.

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

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

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 rea-
sons 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 stu-
dent's responsibility to insure that the course work is completed. If the "I" is not sat-
isfactorily removed at the appropriate time it will be changed to an "F\

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

The symbol "U" indicates unsatisfactory performance in an attempt to complete
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 penalty.
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

165

determined by the Dean of the Graduate School. A "W" is not considered in comput-
ing 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 regis-
tered will receive an "F' unless he/she officially (by appropriate signatures) with-
draws 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 conditions
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 beginning 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 gradu-
ate degree.

The Department of Mathematics, Physics and Computer Science Technology offers
courses leading to the baccalaureate degree in two areas: Mathematics and
Computer Science Technology and a double major in Mathematics and any area of
technical sciences. Minor programs in mathematics, earth sciences, and computer
science are available. The Department promotes an extensive interdisciplinary
approach that would provide students a sound educational background that would
make the students quite marketable and thus prepared for gainful employment, 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, physics,
physical environmental and computer sciences which will enable students to
achieve computational and problem solving skills, and understanding of basic physi-
cal principles, and will enable them to apply these basic skills to their respective
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 ana-
lytical and logical thinking necessary for the application of these tools in the various
fields as measured by departmental and national level examinations.

Plan of Study
FRESHMAN MATHEMATICS

Entering freshman students whose scores on the combined verbal and mathemat-
ics sections of the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) meet the requirements of regular
admission are placed in Mathematics 107, 108 or 212 depending on background of
student.

Applicants for admission whose SAT scores do not meet the requirements for reg-
ular admission must take the Basic Skills Examination (BSE) in English, Reading,
and Mathematics. On the basis of their achievement on the Mathematics Tests,
these students are assigned to Mathematics 107 or to a Mathematics course in the
Developmental Studies Department.

Engineering technology embraces the physical sciences, mathematics, and the
practices and materials of modern industry which are utilized in the design and
construction of the machines, structures, highways, power sources, process systems,
communication systems, and products needed to maintain a highly technological
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 technolo-
gists. This process requires the college to provide opportunities for students to

DEPARTMENT OF MILITARY SCIENCE

(ARMY ROTC)

CAPTAIN ANTHONY PHILLIPS, Head

Sergeant First Class Kenneth Turner

Vera A. Trappio, Secretary

General

The Department of Military Science is a Senior Division Reserve Officer Training
Corps (ROTC), Instructor Group, staffed by active army personnel. The Armstrong
State department provides a curriculum available to Savannah State students that
qualifies the college graduate for a commission as an officer in the United States
Army, United States Army Reserve, or the United States Army Nation Guard.
Qualifying for a commission added an extra dimension to the student's employment
capability in that upon graduation from college, the student 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 organization
and functioning of the Department of Defense and the role of the U.S. Army in the
national security and world affairs.

The course of study pursued by students during their freshman and sophomore
years is the basic military science course and/or related skill activities. The course
of study normally pursued by students during their junior and senior years is the
advance military science course.

For selection and retention in the advanced course, a student must be 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 gradu-
ate 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 reading,
tactics and survival. Equally important, these courses have the objective of develop-
ing the student's leadership, self-discipline, integrity and sense of responsibility.

231

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 continued
development as officers in the Army. There are two avenues available for the stu-
dent to be eligible for entry into the advanced program and obtain a commission as
a second lieutenant:

(a) satisfactory completion of, or placement credit for, the basic program basic
ROTC and meeting the entrance and retention requirements established by
the Army.

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

Placement

Veterans entering the military science programs will receive appropriate place-
ment credit for their active military service. Students who have completed military
science courses in military preparatory schools or junior colleges may be given
appropriate credit. Students with at least three years of high school ROTC may also
be granted placement credit. Placement credit or six quarters of basic military science,
or equivalent thereof, is a prerequisite to admission into the advanced program.

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 volun-
tary 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. The receive no
subsistence allowance and may only participate in classroom instruction. For spe-
cific 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.

232

Financial Assistance

All contracted advanced cadets are paid a subsistence allowance of $100 per
month while enrolled in the advanced course.

Scholarship Program

Each year the U.S. Army awards two- and three-year scholarships to outstanding
young men and women participating in the Army ROTC program who desire
careers as Army officers. The Army pays tuition, fees, books and laboratory
expenses incurred by the scholarship student. In addition, each 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 exer-
cises, 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 emphasizes techniques of
management and leadership and the fundamentals and dynamics 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 pro-
vide cadets with the training and enrichment necessary to successfully compete in
the Army. In addition to completing a baccalaureate degree, the cadet must com-
plete an undergraduate 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.

ADMISSION

Entering students who meet the following criteria: (1) have a composite
Scholastic 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 con-
junction with other standard and locally constructed instruments, are utilized to
determine exemption from placement into the Learning Support courses. CPE cut
off scores for exemption and exit, effective Fall, 1988, are: English - 75, Math - 75,
Reading - 75.

LEARNING SUPPORT PROGRAM

The Learning Support Program is designed for entering students who have
demonstrated marked deficiencies in English, Reading, and Mathematics.

A "Learning Support Student" is any student whose score on either portion of the
Collegiate Placement Examination (CPE) was lower than the passing score given
above. Such students must take appropriate Learning Support courses (courses
numbered 097 or 098).

Every Learning Support student is assigned to, and advised by a faculty member
in the Learning Support Department until the student exits all learning support
courses. When the student exits all courses, a change of advisor form is initiated by
the Learning Support 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 Learning Support students are required to enroll for a
maximum of thirteen credits unless they need all three learning support courses.
Students who are fifth quarter and beyond in the Learning Support Program are
required to enroll in only those learning support courses for which they have not
exited and may not enroll in any college level courses.

The philosophy of the Learning Support Program is that although there are slow
learners and fast learners, when provided with favorable learning conditions, most
students become very similar with regard to learning ability, rate of learning and
motivation for further learning. The Program supports and is committed to the con-
tention that "high risk" students possess strengths that should be developed and
weaknesses that can be remediated. In order to facilitate this growth and develop-

237

ment, each of the three components of Savannah State's Program of Learning
Support has created objectives designed to promote the overall mission of the
Program and the College. They are: (1) to strengthen the reading skills of condition-
ally admitted students; (2) to strengthen the mathematical 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
Learning Support 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 com-
plete deficiencies. A student who fails to successfully exit any one or more courses
within the four quarters or four attempts 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 Learning Support 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 finish-
ing his Learning Support requirements. Any student who does accumulate 30 credit
hours or more and who has not successfully completed the required Learning
Support courses may enroll only in Developmental Studies courses until Learning
Support requirements are successfully completed.

No degree credit will be awarded for Learning Support course work. Institutional
credit only will be awarded.

Entrance and Exit Requirements

A student who earns a scaled score below 70 on the required entry level
Collegiate 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 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 opportunity to
retest at the end of that quarter. Any student who passes a Learning Support
course, but who fails the CPE by five points will be given one opportunity to retest
at the end of that quarter.

The following grade standards will be adhered to by students, only in all class
and lab assignments:

A= 91-100
B = 81-90
C = 75-80
D = 70-74

Final Grades will be A, B, C, D, S, IP, F, W, V.

238

Final Grades

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

A,B,C An 097 student progresses to the corresponding 098 course for further
remediation. An 098 student progreses to the exit Collegiate Placement
Examination (CPE).

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

IP (Insufficient Progress), Student showed insufficient progress and must
repeat 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.

1. The Office of Sponsored Programs (OSP) has been established to assist prin-
cipal investigators and program directors in the preparation and submission
of proposals and in the administration of research grants, contracts, and ser-
vice projects. The office was initially organized in 1986 as the Office of
Sponsored Research (OSR) but was not funded by the institution. The present
office is the result of a grant funded by the USPHS for capacity building at
HBCU's in the acquisition and administration of sponsored programs. As
such, it is the result of a cooperative agreement between the Federal govern-
ment and Savannah State College to establish a demonstration project which
will serve as a model for other HBCU's in grant administration.
