WHERE TO WRITE OR CALL 367 14 INTRODUCTION The Guiding Principle: In the total operation of Savannah State University, the administration, the faculty, and staff have no other pur- pose than to serve students to the fullest extent our knowledge, skills, abilities, special talents, and resources will allow. This principle serves as the foundation that supports the essence of the "The University by the Sea." The Leadership: Dr. John T. Wolfe, Jr., the tenth president of Savannah State University, developed the guiding principle to motivate and remind the faculty and staff to work on behalf of the University's most important asset "the student." President Wolfe has set in motion the apparatus to complete a five-year plan for the University. It has been able to secure one million dollars in funding from Chatham County to com- plete an Olympic track and field facility; secure 1.1 million dollars in Title III fund- ing; bring national exposure to Savannah State University through his participa- tion in a televised conference on violence. Dr. Wolfe's testimony before a House Committee led to funding for the preser- vation of historic buildings on historically black campuses. He has developed initia- tives to continue SSU's advancement as a major educational resource in Savannah, Thunderbolt, and Chatham County. He has established a close relationship with students and supports this relationship by holding monthly meetings with the students. He continues to strive to make this great University even better. Installation of a campus-wide network with multiple file servers for use by faculty and staff has been completed. Banner, a software system, has been installed on the network and will be available for use by all faculty and support staff. Plans call for computers to be placed on the desk of all faculty and staff to make available access to the network. 15 SAVANNAH STATE UNIVERSITY MINORS BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION ENGLISH MASS COMMUNICATIONS RELIGIOUS AND PHILOSOPHICAL STUDIES FRENCH SPANISH GERMAN ART MUSIC BIOLOGY CHEMISTRY MATHEMATICS PHYSICS COMPUTER SCIENCE NAVAL SCIENCE CRIMINAL JUSTICE HISTORY POLITICAL SCIENCE PSYCHOLOGY TECHNOLOGY MANAGEMENT ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY COMPUTER ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY INTERNATIONAL STUDIES THEATRE MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY RECREATION AND PARK ADMINISTRATION AFRICAN AMERICAN STUDIES SOCIOLOGY GERONTOLOGY ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES MINOR FORENSIC SCIENCE EDUCATION Savannah State University students may pursue a minor in education in some academic field.

The University serves a primarily African-American student population enriched by a diversity of traditional and non-traditional stu- dents from other countries, cultures, and races. The University mission is to graduate students prepared to perform at higher lev- els of economic productivity, social responsibility and excellence in their chosen field of endeavor in a changing global community. This educational goal is realized through program offerings in the School of Business, the School of Humanities and Social Sciences, and the School of Sciences and Technology, which lead to associate, baccalaureate, and master's degrees. Savannah State University, located in a coastal, urban, port city setting, serves residential and commuter students from diverse educational, geographical and racial backgrounds. In a beautiful and unique setting of a live oak forest next to a salt marsh estuary, the University is well situated for the study of commercial, tech- nological, environmental and urban issues. The University mission is consistent with the core missions of the University System of Georgia and the senior colleges in the System. Savannah State University shares with the University System of Georgia the fol- lowing characteristics: a supportive campus climate, necessary services, and leadership development opportunities, all to educate the whole person and meet the needs of students, faculty and staff; cultural, ethnic, racial, and gender diversity in faculty, staff and student body, supported by practices and programs that embody the ideals of an open, democra- tic and global society; technology to advance educational purposes, including instructional technology, student support services, and distance education; collaborative relationships with other System institutions, State agencies, local schools and technical institutes, and business and industry, sharing physical, human, information and other resources to expand and enhance programs and services available to the citizens of Georgia. Savannah State University shares with other senior colleges in the University System of Georgia these characteristics: a commitment to excellence and responsiveness within the scope of influence defined by the needs of an area of the state, and by particularly outstanding pro- grams or distinctive characteristics that have a magnet effect throughout the region or state; a commitment to the teaching/learning environment, both inside and outside the classroom, that sustains instructional excellence, serves a diverse and college- prepared student body, promotes high levels of student achievement, offers 23 academic assistance, and provides developmental studies programs for a limited student cohort; a commitment to a high quality general education program supporting a variety of disciplinary, interdisciplinary, and professional programming at the baccalau- reate level, with selected master's and educational specialists degrees, and selected associate degree programs based on area need and/or interinstitutional collaborations; a commitment to public service, continuing education, technical assistance, and economic development activities that address the needs, improve the quality of life, and raise the educational level within the college's scope of influence; a commitment to scholarly and creative work to enhance instructional effective- ness and to encourage faculty scholarly pursuits, and a commitment to applied research in selected areas of institutional strength and area need. The continuing commitment of Savannah State University to academic excellence is expressed through the following characteristics: the tradition of serving the educational needs of African-American students as well as those of all other students, regardless of race, ethnicity, or culture; the historical tradition as an African-American institution which defines the University as a unique cultural and educational resource for the interpretation and transmission of the African-American legacy; the guiding principle of the faculty and staff which is service to students expressed by quality, student-centered instruction, scholarship, research and effective support services that nurture the intellect and value honesty and human sensitivity; a high quality general education offered through the Core Curriculum in humani- ties, mathematics, natural sciences, and social and behavioral sciences; associate degree offerings in technology; baccalaureate degree offerings with a dynamic mix of liberal arts programs that address the study of the humanities, social sciences and the sciences; professional programs that address the study of commerce, entrepreneurship, communications, social services, technology and environmental sustainability; master's degree offerings that address the study of the social and behavioral sciences, and natural sciences; and initiatives to provide new programs and levels of service to meet the everchanging needs of a coastal urban area; a commitment to excellence in the area of engineering technology; learning support services that provide educational access and opportunity for stu- dents, and service programs, offered singly and collaboratively to enhance stu- dent satisfaction and academic success; an active community service function that is carried out through collaborative partnerships with business, private and governmental agencies, public schools and other colleges in the University System; Savannah State University intends to increase the scope and quality of service to diverse populations by focusing and developing an array of excellent and accessible programs supported and delivered through instructional technology and distance education to all who seek our programs and services. 24 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 for students, personnel services, public relations, a reading clinic, and an audio visual aids laboratory were insti- tuted under the leadership of President Colston. 25 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 that began 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 College 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 26 president of Savannah State College. Dr. Rayburn served the college for eight years. Under his leadership the undergraduate level academic programs in social work were initiated and received professional accreditation. At the graduate level, a mas- ter'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 University. 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. On June 12, 1996, the College received University status and Savannah State College became Savannah State University. 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. 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 Howard Jordan Business Building (1989) - School of Business. 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 all student affairs units (the Vice President for Student Affairs Office, Career Services & Cooperative Education, Student Counseling, Student Housing, Student Activities 27 and Student Services and Intramurals. In addition, the College Dining Hall, the Post Office, and Bookstore. Three new buildings were completed in 1976. ASA Gordon 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 Division of Learning Support. 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 facilities 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), houses 100 women. Camilla Hall (1938) has been converted to married student and SGA Officers housing. Wright Hall (1951), a former male dormitory, is being utilized as a female dormitory. An addition to the Student Center, provides office space for the Student Center Staff, a President's private dining room, snack bar with seating capacity of 134, a theater with seating capacity of 320, a ballroom capacity of 538, and game room facilities. 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. LOCATION Students find much to enjoy about living in the cosmopolitan city of Savannah, the major urban area (population over 200,000) in Coastal Georgia. The University is located on the East side of the town of Thunderbolt. Savannah, Georgia's founding city, has all the historic and cultural variety of a metropolitan city with the added advantage of the Atlantic Ocean at its back door. The temperate climate encourages year round outdoor activities and recreation. The historic past lives in harmony with today's progress in Savannah. As a living laboratory for history, Savannah is unsurpassed and the Savannah port is one of the busiest on the Atlantic Coast. Special celebrations and other festivals are scheduled throughout the year. Community oriented leisure activities complement on-campus happenings. 28 SAVANNAH STATE UNIVERSITY DEGREE PROGRAMS MASTERS PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION (MPA) SOCIAL WORK (MSW) BACHELOR OF ARTS (BA) MASS COMMUNICATIONS ENGLISH LANGUAGE & LITERATURE RECREATION & PARKS ADMINISTRATION HISTORY MUSIC BACHELOR OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION (BBA) COMPUTER INFORMATION SYSTEMS MANAGEMENT ACCOUNTING INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MANAGEMENT MARKETING BACHELOR OF SCIENCE (BS) CIVIL ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY COMPUTER SCIENCE TECHNOLOGY ELECTRONICS ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY MECHANICAL ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY PROCESS ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY BIOLOGY MARINE BIOLOGY MATHEMATICS CHEMISTRY ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES CRIMINAL JUSTICE POLITICAL SCIENCE SOCIOLOGY MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY BACHELOR OF SOCIAL WORK (BSW) SOCIAL WORK 29 PROGRAMS ROTC PROGRAMS Through the college's Army and Naval ROTC Programs Savannah State University students can prepare for commissioned service as regular or reserve offi- cers in the Army, Army National Guard, Navy, or Marine Corps, commensurate with earning their degree.

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 University are eligible to participate in the Georgia Legislative Internship Program. Students selected to par- ticipate in the Program are assigned to a legislative office or to legislative commit- tees in either the House or Senate, and work directly under and are responsible to the office head or committee chairman. The first hand experience of observing and participating in the legislative process is considered as part of the student's acade- mic program and the student may receive academic credit for such participation. The program at Savannah State University is under the general direction of the head of the Department of Social and Behavioral Sciences. STUDY ABROAD PROGRAM Savannah State University 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 their knowledge of a foreign lan- guage, provides the opportunity to gain insights into the appreciation for the cul- tures 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. 30 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 Atlantic University's Community Service Division and Savannah State University'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 Atlantic State University, Savannah State University, 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 community and from consultants throughout the region. On the Savannah State campus, the Coastal Georgia Center is responsible for the coordination of all community service/continuing education activities. Since these activities are viewed as a university-wide function, responsibility for program devel- opment is shared with the various academic units on campus. The major community service/continuing education components of the University are the short-course/con- ference 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 University is not required. Classes meet once or twice weekly during the University'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 University 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 University under the following conditions: 31 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 University, Savannah, P.O. Box 20436, Savannah, Georgia 31404. 32 ADMISSIONS GENERAL ADMISSION PROCEDURES Regular Admission Provisional Admission Conditional Admission OTHER ADMISSION CLASSIFICATIONS Transfer Students Transient Students Early Admission Joint Enrollment of High School Students (including Post-Secondary Options) Non-traditional Adults Post-Baccalaureate/Non-Degree Students Students Age 62 years Older Special Students International Students Readmission Auditors Armstrong Atlantic State University Exchange Student DEFINITION OF LEGAL RESIDENCE 33 ACADEMIC AFFAIRS UNDERGRADUATE ADMISSION TO THE UNIVERSITY GENERAL INFORMATION A person who wishes to enroll at Savannah State University must file an applica- tion form which can be obtained from the Office of Admissions.

Savannah State University 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 University 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.

This examination must be taken before the student's first registration at the University. Any student placed in a course numbered below 100, either by his/her SAT (or ACT) score, or by his/her CPE or COMPASS scores, will be considered a conditionally admit- ted Learning Support student. Any other courses taken prior to completing and passing appropriate parts of the CPE or COMPASS must be approved by the Learning Support Counselor or by an advisor within that department.

Admission will be evaluated in accordance with at least one of the following categories: 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 completed 30 or more quarter credit hours of collegiate work 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 University, 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 University if on all work attempted at other institutions, their academic per- formance as shown by their grade-point-average is equivalent to the mini- mum standard required by Savannah State University students by comparable standing. (See Academic Probation and Suspension Section for appropriate GPA and required credit hours). 6. Credit will be given for transfer work in which students received a grade of "C" or above. Credit will also be given for transfer work in which the students received grades of "D" 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.

Credit allowed for extension, correspondence, CLEP examination or military service schools shall not exceed a total of 45 quarter hours. 39 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 of Georgia institution, each completed area will be accepted as having met the respective area requirement at Savannah State University. 13. An official evaluation of all previous college credit earned will be done prior to 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.

Such a student will ordinarily be one who expects to return to the University 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 University. An application fee ($10.00) is also required.

DEFINITION OF LEGAL RESIDENCE REGENTS' POLICIES GOVERNING THE CLASSIFICATION OF STUDENTS FOR TUITION PURPOSES The following policies have been adopted by the Board of Regents for the pur- poses of determining the tuition status of students: 1. (a) If a person is 18 years of age or older, he or she may register as an in-state student only upon a showing that he or she has been a legal resident of Georgia for a period of at least twelve months immediately preceding the date of registration. (b) No emancipated minor or other person 18 years of age or older shall be deemed to have gained or acquired in-state status for tuition 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 resi- dence in this state. 2. If a person is under 18 years of age, he or she may register as an in-state stu- dent only upon a 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. 3. If a parent or legal guardian of a minor changes his or her legal residence to another state following a period of legal residence in Georgia, the minor may continue to take courses for a period of twelve consecutive months on the pay- ment of in-state tuition. After the expiration of the twelve-month period, the student may continue his or her registration only upon the payment of fees at the out-of-state rate. 46 4. In the event that a legal resident of Georgia is appointed as guardian of a nonresident minor, such minor will not be permitted to register as an in-state student until the expiration of one year from the date of court appointment, and then only upon a proper showing that such appointment was not made to avoid payment of the out-of-state fees. 5. Aliens shall be classified as nonresident students; provided, however, that an alien who is living in this country under an immigration document permitting indefinite or permanent residence shall have the same privilege of qualifying for in-state tuition as a citizen of the United States. 6. Waivers: An institution may waive out-of-state tuition for: (a) nonresident students who are financially dependent upon a parent, parents, or spouse who has been a legal resident of Georgia for at least twelve con- secutive months immediately preceding the date of registration; provided, however, that such financial dependence shall have existed for at least twelve consecutive months immediately preceding the date of registration. (b) international students, selected by the institutional president or his authorized representative, provided that the number of such waivers in effect does not exceed one percent of the equivalent full-time students enrolled at the institution in the fall quarter immediately preceding the quarter for which the out-of-state tuition is to be waived. (c) full-time employees of the University System, their spouses, and their dependent children. (d) medical and dental residents and medical and dental interns at the Medical College of Georgia. (e) full-time teachers in the public schools of Georgia or in the programs of the State Board of Technical and Adult Education and their dependent children. Teachers employed full-time on military bases in Georgia shall also qualify for this waiver. (f) career consular officers and their dependents who are citizens of the for- eign nation which their consular office represents, and who are stationed and living in Georgia under orders of their respective governments. This waiver shall apply only to those consular officers whose nations operate on the principle of educational reciprocity with the United States. (g) military personnel and their dependents stationed in Georgia and on active duty unless such military personnel are assigned as students to System institutions for educational purposes. (h) selected graduate students at University-level institutions. (i) students who are legal residents of out-of-state counties bordering on Georgia counties in which an institution of the university System is located and who are enrolled in said institution. ADDITIONAL RESIDENT INFORMATION Individuals who enter Savannah State University as nonresident students but who wish later to qualify as legal residents must submit a Petition for Georgia Residence Classification, which can be obtained in the Registrar's Office. A student's residence status is not changed automatically, and the burden of proof that the student qualifies as a legal resident under the regulations of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia rests with the student. Students are responsible for registering under the proper residence classification. A student classified as nonresident 47 who believes he or she is entitled to be reclassified as a legal resident may petition the Registrar for a change in status. To avoid delay and inconvenience at registra- tion, the petition must be filed no later than 60 working days prior to registration for the quarter for which the student is petitioning for in-state residence status. RIGHT OF APPEAL In all matters concerning admissions the student may appeal by writing to the director and clearly stating the basis for an appeal. The appeal will be considered by the Admissions Committee. A written appeal must be received in the Admissions Office prior to 5 p.m. on the first day of classes for the quarter a student is seeking admission or readmission to Savannah State University. Individuals failing to satisfy the deadline may submit their appeal for the following quarter. Items to be included with Your Petition for Residency 1.

Qualified instructors in Health, Physical Education, and Recreation provide train- ing in the several aspects of the required activity program. Recreational activities, social dancing, swimming and free exercise activities are encouraged and centered in this area. The area makes every effort to provide wholesome recreational activi- ties for all students. Cultural Activities To complement formal education on the campus, the University provides many activi- ties for cultural enrichment. Student assemblies, institutes, motion pictures, lectures, art exhibitions, drama, forums, hobby groups, and tours contribute to the general enrichment of the university community. The Lyceum Committee brings to the campus renowned concert artists. All students are encouraged to attend these formal activities which afford inspiring association with outstanding personalities. The Department of Fine Arts sponsors several drama presentations, musical pro- grams and art exhibitions during the school year.

Health Services The University health services are maintained to improve and safeguard the health of students. These services are under the supervision of the school physician and staff of nurses. Medical examinations, medical care, and health consultations are provided for all students who pay health fees. Students who are too ill to attend class must report to the Health Services Building or obtain the services of a private physician. Each student is directly responsible for his hospital or emergency room fees. The University health fee does not include these services. Any illness in the residence halls should be reported to the Health Service immediately. Armstrong State College students who are in residence halls on the Savannah State University campus are required to pay the health fee. Residence Halls There are eight 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 residence halls. Assignment to living areas is based on sex 54 and classification. Additional criteria are used for apartment residency. Expectant mothers are not allowed to remain in residence halls. 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. 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. Residence Hall directors will sign the appropriate clearance form for students. Room assignments are made for the academic year. In the event that an occupant of a double room moves out, the remaining student will be assigned another room- mate, or be assigned to another room. Students who are required to live in residence halls are also required to purchase a meal plan. Students who have diets prescribed by physicians may be exempted, if the University Cafeteria is unable to prepare the diet meals. Hot plates and other cooking devices are prohibited. If found in rooms, they will be confiscated and the owner charged a penalty fee of $25.00. CAMPUS RESIDENCY POLICY Freshmen students from outside the Chatham County area are expected to reside in the residence halls of Savannah State University at a rate of $450.00 per quarter and to take the three-meal plan at the rate of $540.00 per quarter. Those who elect to live in the residence halls must purchase at least the two-meal plan. ROOM DEPOSIT Application for campus housing is to be submitted after the student receives an official acceptance to Savannah State University. Entering students and continuing students who live in the college residence hall facilities are required to submit a room deposit with their requests for room assignment. This will serve as a damage/room clearance deposit to be refunded upon withdrawal from the University or at the end of the year upon proper clearance with the Housing Office and the absence of any damage to the room. An applicant who, after acceptance for admis- sion, decided not to enroll at Savannah State University may be refunded the $100.00 deposit by requesting a refund in writing as follows: 55 Term Refund Due Fall Quarter 1995 July 31, 1996 Winter Quarter 1996 December 1, 1996 Spring Quarter 1996 March 1, 1997 Contact the Housing Office for further information. APARTMENTS On-campus apartments are available for leasing. Students must meet certain cri- teria to determine eligibility for first-time and continued residency. For further details, contact the Housing Office. REGENTS STATEMENT OF DISRUPTIVE BEHAVIOR The following statement is the policy of the Board of Regents regarding disruptive behavior in any institution of the University System. The rights, responsibilities 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 students and faculty which tend to destroy academic freedom and the institutional structures through which it operates. In recent years a new and serious problem has appeared on many college cam- puses in the nation. Some students, faculty members, and others have on occasion engaged in demonstrations, sit-ins, and other activities that have clearly and 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 activities thus have become clearly recognizable as an action of force, operating out- side 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 problem. Under the Constitution of the State of Georgia, under all applicable court rulings, and in keeping with the tradition of higher education in the United States, The Board is ultimately responsi- ble 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 56 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. Student Conduct Each student enrolled at Savannah State University is expected at all times to exemplify due respect for order, morality, and the rights of others. The University 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 University Student Conduct Code, 1996); 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 XL Possessing Explosives 57 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's designee conducts an infor- mal investigation 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's designee will instruct the accused to contact the Office for Student Affairs to arrange an administrative interview to discuss the complaint. In addition to the specific charge, attached to the interview letter will be copies of all documents pertinent to the alleged incident that are known at that time. The Vice-President's designee will request a meeting with other necessary relevant parties on an individual basis. However, the Vice-President's designee 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's designee or the University 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 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. 58 The right to remain silent and have no inference of guilt drawn from such silence. The right of cross examination. The right to appeal an adverse decision to the President. 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 University. If the President upholds the suspension or expulsion, the student must depart, notwithstand- ing the student's subsequent application for review to the Board of Regents. The Discipline Committee The Discipline Committee (comprised of the Chief Justice, faculty, staff, and stu- dents) adjudicates all cases except those where the student elects to have his or her case decided by the Vice-President for Student Affairs' designee. 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 there under, 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 established that the Vice-President or a Discipline Committee member was incapable of ren- dering 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. Article IX Appeal to Board of Regents Should the student be dissatisfied with the President's decision, he or she has the right to appeal in writing to the Board of Regents. The appeal to the Board shall be submitted in writing to the Executive Secretary of the Board within twenty calendar 59 days after the President's decision and shall cite all the reasons for dissatisfaction with the previous decision. Drugs and Weapons The possession or use (without valid medical or dental prescription), manufacture, transportation, storage, furnishing, or sale of any narcotic or dangerous drug con- trolled by federal or Georgia law is prohibited. Violators are subject to arrest and prose- cution by University and/or local, state, and federal courts. It is against University rules and regulations for any student to possess, use, or store weapons such as knives, guns, blackjacks, etc. Persons found in possession of weapons will be subject to disciplinary action by the University and/or local courts. Any student convicted of violating Section II (Drugs and Alcohol) of the Student Conduct Code will be subject to the loss of academic credit, federal financial aid or suspension from the University. 60 FINANCIAL INFORMATION AND FINANCIAL AID FEES AND EXPENSES CAMPUS RESIDENCY POLICY ROOM DEPOSITS AND APARTMENTS REFUND POLICY PAYMENT OF FEES REFUND POLICY FINANCIAL AID 61 GENERAL UNIVERSITY FEES 1996-97 DAY STUDENTS Fees per Quarter Matriculation Nonresident Tuition Health Fee Student Activity Fee Athletic Fee Board Room Total Fees per Quarter Matriculation Tuition Health Fee Student Activity Fee Athletic Fee Board Room Total Residents Nonresidents 528.00 528.00 1,293.00 40.00 40.00 27.00 27.00 115.00 115.00 710.00 BOARDING STUDENTS 2,003.00 idents Nonresidents 528.00 528.00 1,293.00 40.00 40.00 27.00 27.00 115.00 115.00 540.00 540.00 450.00 450.00 1,700.00 2,993.00 ALL FEES ARE DUE AND PAYABLE AT REGISTRATION, PLEASE MAKE A CASHIER'S CHECK, BANK OR POSTAL MONEY ORDER PAYABLE TO SAVAN- NAH STATE UNIVERSITY.

Federal Financial Aid Programs (Title IV Programs) The Office of Financial Aid administers the following major U.S. Department of Education student financial aid programs: Federal Pell Grants, Federal Direct Loans, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants (FSEOG), Federal Work- Study (FWS), Federal Perkins Loans. State of Georgia programs administered by the Office of Financial Aid include the Student Incentive Grant Program and the HOPE Scholarship Program. It is a basic principle that each student shall be helped as an individual with consideration of his/her own unique need, situation, and circumstances. 66 Eligibility requirements include the following: have financial need, have a high school diploma or a GED certificate, be a U.S. citizen or eligible noncitizen, have a valid Social Security Number, make satisfactory academic progress, register with Selective Service if applicable, not in default on a student loan, and do not owe a refund on a pervious federal student grant. Federal Pell Grant A Federal Pell Grant, unlike a loan, does not have to be repaid. Pell Grants are only awarded to undergraduate students who have not earned a bachelor's or pro- fessional degree. Pell Grants provide a foundation of financial aid to which other aid may be added. Savannah State University Financial Aid Office requires that a stu- dent applies for the Federal Pell Grant. Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants A Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG) is for under- graduates with exceptional financial need, that is, students with the lowest Expected Family Contributions (EFCs), and gives priority to students who receive Federal Pell Grants. The average award may range from $300 to $1500 a year. SEOG does not have to be paid back. Federal Work-Study The Federal Work-Study (FWS) Program provides jobs for undergraduate and graduate students with financial need, allowing them to earn money to help pay education expenses. The program encourages community service work and work related to your course of study. Federal Perkins Loan A Federal Perkins Loan is a low-interest (5 percent) loan for both undergraduate and graduate students with exceptional financial need. Federal Perkins Loans are made through Savannah State University's Office of Financial Aid. You must repay this loan. Federal Direct Loan Low-interest loans for students and parents (PLUS) are available through the Federal Direct Student Loan (Direct Loan) Program. Under the Direct Loan Program, the federal government makes loans directly to students and parents through schools. Savannah State University began participating in the Direct Loan Program during the 1995-96 academic year. Direct Loans are either subsidized or unsubsidized. A subsidized one is awarded on the basis of financial need. If you qualify for a subsi- dized loan, the federal government pays interest on the loan until you begin repay- ment and during authorized periods of deferment thereafter. An unsubsidized loan is not awarded on the basis of need. If you qualify for an unsubsidized loan, you will be charged interest from the time the loan is disbursed until it is paid in full. You can receive a subsidized and an unsubsidized loan for the same enrollment period as long as they are from the same program. If you are a first time borrower in the student loan program at Savannah State, you must attend a loan counseling session before any loan funds can be credited to your account or disbursed to you. Loan counseling sessions are held each Wednesday at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. All borrowers are required to show proof that they attended a loan counseling session before the cashier's office will release any loan funds. 67 Student Incentive Grant The Student Incentive Grant (SIG) is a federal and state grant program for Georgia citizens. SIG awards at Savannah State University range from $300 to $900 a year. Awards are not made for summer term. HOPE Scholarship Program (Helping Outstanding Pupils Educationally) The HOPE Scholarship provides funds for tuition not covered by the Federal Pell Grant or other Federal grant programs. To be eligible to receive a HOPE scholar- ship to cover your tuition cost to seek a degree at Savannah State University, you must: have graduated from high school with a grade point average of 3.0 and con- tinue to maintain a 3.0 in college, have parental adjusted gross income of less than $100,000, apply for a Federal Pell Grant, meet Georgia residency requirements, be U.S. citizen, permanent resident alien, meet selective service registration require- ments, not be in default or owe on Federal or State financial aid, and maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress. The HOPE program is funded by the Georgia Lottery for Education and is admin- istrated by the Georgia Student Finance Commission. Institutional Work Program Savannah State University Student Employment Program helps student locate part- time employment with the various departments on campus. There are no eligibility requirements. Scholarships A number of state and federal scholarship programs as well as a variety of scholar- ship programs established and funded through Savannah State University are available: Academic and Athletic.

STANDARDS OF SATISFACTORY ACADEMIC PROGRESS FOR STUDENTS RECEIVING FEDERAL STUDENT AID FUNDS (Title IV) Savannah State University 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 Qualitative progress measures a student's success by analyzing his/her cumulative grade point average (GPA). Quantitative progress measures a student's progress toward completing his/her degree objective in a timely manner. The financial aid office will measure the students satisfactory progress once each year at the end of the Spring quarter. A. Undergraduate Students Students will be suspended for one quarter if their cumulative GPA is below that required for a designated number of total hours attempted: Stages of Progress Required Minimum Hours Attempted Cumulative GPA Average 0-45 1.50 46-90 1.75 91+ 2.00 Students will be considered enrolled for any quarter in which they receive a grade or grades other than a W. Total hours attempted consist of all hours attempted at Savannah State. Transfer credits are not included in the com- putation of the cumulative grade point average for financial aid, but is con- sidered when determining a student's classification. Any student who withdraws from the institution during a quarter that he/she receives financial aid will be put on financial aid suspension immedi- ately. A student who withdraws twice within the same academic year after receiving financial aid will be suspended immediately and must complete the next two quarters he/she enrolls at their own expense. While a student is on financial aid suspension he/she is not eligible to receive any financial aid award including student loans. To be reinstated on the financial aid program once a student has been sus- pended, one of the following must occur: 1) Be enrolled at least half-time and complete one quarter satisfactorily at your own expense 2) Successfully appeal the suspension to the financial aid appeals committee 69 3) Waiver of suspension by the Financial Aid Director due to mitigating cir- cumstances B. Graduate Students Graduate students must maintain a cumulative graduate course average of at least 3.0. The satisfactory progress of a graduate student will also be measured at the end of each Spring quarter. Failure to make satisfactory progress will result in the student being suspended from the financial aid program. C. Learning Support Due to Federal regulations, students can only receive financial aid monies for up to 45 hours while enrolled in learning support courses. Students who do not complete the requirements for the Learning Support pro- gram after a maximum of four quarters will be suspended from the finan- cial aid program. Since students receive financial aid monies while enrolling in Learning Support courses, all courses in learning support count when measuring a student's satisfactory academic progress. II. Time Frame (Quantitative Progress) Financial aid recipients must show measurable progress toward degree comple- tion by earning a required minimum number of hours for the total number of quar- ters enrolled. The normal academic work load during an academic year is based on 15 hours per quarter for undergraduate students and 10 hours per quarter for gradu- ate students. A student is expected to complete at least 75% of hours attempted each quarter. Students will receive financial aid for a maximum of 18 quarters. Below is a chart that measures the time frame based on a student attempting 15 quarter hours each term: Number of Required Number of Required Quarters Number of Quarters Number of Enrolled Hours to Complete Enrolled Hours to Complete 1 11 10 113 2 23 11 123 3 34 12 135 4 45 13 146 5 56 14 158 6 68 15 169 7 79 16 180 8 90 17 191 9 101 18 203 III. Appeal of Financial Aid Suspension A student who is suspended from receiving financial aid may appeal to the Student Financial Aid Appeals Committee. This committee is appointed by the President of the University. A student wishing to appeal financial aid suspension must complete a form requesting an appeal. This form can be picked up in the student financial aid office. This form must be completed and submitted to the financial aid office within five days from the end of the quarter in which the student was suspended. Failure to adhere to this time line will result in the student losing the right to appeal the sus- pension. The student is expected to know the Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy. The financial aid office attempts to notify students when they are suspended from 70 the financial aid program, however, sometimes students do not receive notification of financial aid suspension due to circumstances beyond the control of the financial aid office. If a student was not officially notified by letter that he or she is on sus- pension, that in itself does not excuse a student from the financial aid suspension nor does it exempt a student from appealing in a timely manner. The appeals committee will meet once each quarter to hear appeals. Contact the financial aid office to find out the time and place of the committee's meeting. Students may appeal before the committee or simply provide documents that he or she wishes the committee to consider. The committee will make its recommendation concerning the appeal and the financial aid office will notify the student by written correspondence within three business days of the committee's decision. The committee's decision is final and no further appeals will be granted. 71 ACADEMIC POLICIES AND INFORMATION ACADEMIC ADVISEMENT CLASSIFICATION OF STUDENTS UNIVERSITY TESTING ATTENDANCE CALCULATING THE CUMULATIVE AVERAGE FORGIVENESS CLAUSE THE GRADING SYSTEM GRADE CHALLENGES BY STUDENTS GRADE CHANGES LIBRARY REPORT OF GRADES STUDENT LOAD HONORS PROGRAM GRADUATION HONORS STUDENT ACADEMIC GRIEVANCE PROCEDURES ACCESS TO STUDENT RECORDS STATE REQUIREMENT IN HISTORY AND GOVERNMENT WITHDRAWING FROM THE UNIVERSITY DEGREE AND GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS PROBATION AND SUSPENSION REGENTS TESTING PROGRAM VETERAN'S AFFAIRS 72 ACADEMIC REGULATIONS Academic Advisement Each student at Savannah State University 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 Division of Learning Support as to course load, Learning Support regulations, and University regula- tions. This advisement continues until the student successfully exits the Learning Support 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 Learning Support program will continue to be advised by the Division of Learning Support until they declare a major. All other undecided majors 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 continue to be advised in this manner until they select a field of study. Each student is required to plan his or her academic program with the advisor's assistance, and to obtain the advisor's approval of his schedule of courses each Quarter. Each advisor has the responsibility of counseling advisees about the 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 acade- mic progress of advises, and in 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 Registrar that all requirements had been met up to the time that the application was prepared. MINORITY ADVISING PROGRAM The Minority Advising Program (MAP), established in 1983, seeks to enhance the academic welfare of minority students in the University System of Georgia. Its goals include promoting academic success, developing human potential, and creating an environment that fosters success and retention of minority students. MAP is contin- uously striving to be a proactive and an attentive service to the students of Savannah State University. To this end, MAP encourages all of the students at the University to contribute to it and utilize the services provided. The MAP office is located in Hodge Hall. The Coordinator of MAP can be reached at 356-2181. 73 SAVANNAH STATE UNIVERSITY STUDENTS TRANSIENT AT ANOTHER COLLEGE Savannah State University students who wish to take course work at another col- lege with the intent to apply the courses to their academic record at Savannah State University may do so in accordance with regulations for transient status at another college. The student must meet the requirements stipulated by the other college, and, in order to apply the credit toward his or her academic record at Savannah State, must meet the academic regulations of Savannah State University. Consult with the Registrar for details prior to enrolling at another institution. Readmissions Students who for any reason have remained out of the University for two or more quarters, must apply for readmission in the Registrar's Office by the established quarterly application deadline. Students who have attended other colleges in the interim must submit official transcripts of all colleges attended and an application as a transfer student to the Office of Admissions. Former Savannah State University stu- dents do not pay an application processing fee when they apply for readmission. Former students who leave the University prior to completing Learning Support requirements and/or satisfying College Preparatory Curriculum deficiencies will not be allowed to return to the University as transient students from another college without a transcript from that school. Students who are readmitted after an absence from the University for more than two years must meet degree requirements as listed in the catalog in effect at the time of his/her return. (See Academic Policies and Information Section) CLASSIFICATION 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. University Testing Program The Office of Testing at Savannah State University administers the required test- ing programs both to students who apply for admissions and those who are enrolled. Tests as required by the University System of Georgia which are administered by the Office of Testing include the Collegiate Placement Examination and COMPASS (The Computer- Adaptive Placement Assessment and Support System) as well as the Regents' Examination, which is required for graduation. Savannah State University also serves as a national testing center for Educational Testing Services and the American College Testing program. 74 Tests administered at the University include: Graduate Management Admissions Test (GMAT), Law School Admission Test (LSAT), Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT-I & II), American College Test (ACT), and the College Level Examination Program (CLEP). Applications are available for the tests listed above in addition to the Graduate Record Examinations (GRE), Medical College Admission Test (MCAT), the PRAXIS Series (Professional Assessments for Beginning Teachers), and the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). CLASS ATTENDANCE Savannah State University endeavors to provide optimum conditions for student learning. Class attendance is, therefore, required of students to ensure that 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. Students who exceed the allowable number of unexcused absences in any course will receive the grade of "F" in that course. 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 University by the total number of academic credit hours attempted at Savannah State University. Credits earned in other institutions, credit by examination, credits which carry S/U grades, institu- tional credit courses, and courses specifically excluded by university policy are not used in computing the cumulative grade point average. FORGIVENESS CLAUSE "The University 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." 75 ACADEMIC RENEWAL FOR RETURNING STUDENTS Academic Renewal Policy: The Academic Renewal allows the re-calculation of GPA average and credit hours toward graduation, based on work completed after returning to college. It is for the undergraduate student who has acquired maturity through extended experience outside course enrollments in higher education institutions. In order to qualify for Academic Renewal a student: 1. Must not have enrolled for credit in any courses, offered by academic/post- secondary institutions (accredited by one of the organizations recognized by Council on Post- Secondary Education Association) for at least five years after the enrollment period subject to academic renewal. 2. Must be an undergraduate student who has not been awarded an associate or bachelor's degree. 3. Must request Academic Renewal status within three academic quarters (or two academic semesters) of re-enrollment or within one calendar year, whichever comes first. This policy goes into effect immediately. For currently enrolled students there is a window of opportunity for requesting Academic Renewal status. The Office of the Registrar will establish the deadline date for currently enrolled students. Requirements to be satisfied by the student requesting Academic Renewal are noted below: Academic Renewal Procedures and Implementation Issues: 1. All course work and grades earned prior to a five-year (or longer) separation period will remain on the student's transcript. 2. In consideration of any course work completed after the period of separation, only Savannah State University course work, and subsequent transfer work, will be used in the calculation of the overall GPA. This GPA (overall GPA) will be used for admission to programs/majors requiring a minimum grade point average. 3. Academic credit for previously completed course work, including transfer course work, will be retained only for all courses in which an A, B, C, or S grade has been earned. Retained grades are not calculated in the Academic Renewal GPA. The course credit hours will count in the Academic Renewal Hours Earned. 4. Former Departmental Studies (Learning Support) students may apply for Academic Renewal only if they successfully completed all DLS requirements before the commencement of the five-year period of absence. 5. If an Academic Renewal student decides to transfer from Savannah State University, the receiving institution is under no obligation to acknowledge the adjusted GPA. One should expect the receiving institution to recognize only the cumulative GPA. 6. The Academic Renewal GPA will be used for determining academic standing and eligibility for graduation. 76 7. All courses will be considered in the implementation of the Board of Regents Test, and College Preparatory Curriculum policy requirements. 8. Academic Renewal can only be approved once. 9. Once Academic Renewal is requested and approved, it cannot be reversed. 10. All courses will be considered for the determination of financial aid and/or V.A. benefits. 11. To earn a degree, a student must meet this institution's residency requirements. 12. Any scholastic suspension that occurred in the past shall remain recorded on the student's permanent record. THE GRADING SYSTEM The university 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 are 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 responsi- bility 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. 77 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 University. "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. This symbol, "NR", should be used only in extreme emergencies and should be removed from the transcript when the actual grades are reported at the end of the Quarter. Note: The numbers in parentheses after course descriptions in the catalog refer to lec- ture, lab and credit hours. Lecture Lab Credit 5 5 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. If the instructor is also the head of the department, the student should address an appeal letter to the Dean of the School in which the course was offered. This procedure must be accomplished within 14 days of the first day of classes of that quarter. If a resolution satisfactory to the student is not affected, the department head or school Dean may appoint a review committee (exclusive of the dean, department head, and the instructor). The review committee, after hearing both the instructor and the student, submits its report and recommen- dation to the academic vice-president (through the department head and/or School Dean). If the vice-president accepts the review committee's recommendation that the grade be changed or reverses a recommendation that a grade not be changed, the Vice President directs the registrar to make the appropriate change on the student's record. The student must present adequate evidence of unfair grading for the department head or dean to grant a hearing. 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 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. 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 President, the Department Head, and the Instructor. In addition, each student 78 receives a Grade Report at the end of each quarter containing the grades and credit hours earned in each course in which he/she was enrolled, grade-point average for the quarter, and 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 when faculty report deficiencies. 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 following quarter, the total not to exceed twenty (20) hours. Additionally, students whose gen- eral 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. Adjustment of Classes (Dropping) Students desiring to adjust class schedules 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 (WF Grade) is at mid-quarter of each quarter. The penalty grade is calculated into Quarter GPA. SAVANNAH STATE UNIVERSITY HONORS PROGRAM Christine E. Oliver, Director PURPOSE AND GOALS The Savannah State University Honors Program maintains a community of acade- mically 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. 79 ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS Freshmen. Freshmen applicants for admission to the Savannah State University Honors Program must meet the following requirements: - Rank in the upper 25 percent of their high school class and/or -Achieve a minimum SAT score of 900/GPA 3.50 or SAT score of 1200+/GPA 3.30 or a minimum ACT composite score of 22 - Meet the general admission requirements of the College - Have a strong college preparatory background in English, mathematics, or science Transfer Students. Students transferring from other universities and colleges who wish to enter the Savannah State University Honors Program should write a let- ter of application to the director of the program. They should also present tran- scripts of their previous college work and any SAT, ACT, and Advanced Placement Scores. However, since the core of the honors curriculum is offered in the freshman and sophomore years, transfer students should seek admission to the university as soon as possible. ACADEMIC REQUIREMENTS AND CREDIT Continuation Requirements. Honors students are required to enroll in and successfully complete a minimum of 16 credit hours each quarter. Requirements for remaining in good academic standing as an Honors Program student are as follows: Students who do not maintain a cumulative grade point average of 3.50 or above will be placed on honors probation the following quarter. If the standard is not met, at the close of the probation period, the students will be suspended from the Honors Program. Suspended students may appeal the decision through proper administra- tive channels, and may apply for readmission.

Students who maintain an average of "B" in not less than a normal load (12 hours) during a given quarter are eligible for listing on the Honor Roll. 80 2. Students who maintain an average of 3.50 or higher, in a full program (12 hours) in a quarter will have their names placed on the Dean's List for that quarter. 3. Students who maintain an average of 3.00 during any quarter may secure permission to take additional hours during the following quarter, the total not to exceed twenty hours. Additionally, students whose general average is 3.00 or better may be permitted to take quarter hours in excess of a normal load up to a limit of 20 quarter hours. GRADUATION HONORS Graduation with honors is based upon completion of a minimum attendance period of six quarters and completion of at least ninety hours at Savannah State University. In addition, students who graduate with honors must attain the follow- ing grade-point average the entire period of college attendance: Cum Laude 3.00 Magna Cum Laude 3.40 Summa Cum Laude 3.75 Spring quarter grades for June Graduation and Fall quarter grades for December Graduation will not be used in computing the GPA for honors prior to graduation due to processing and final evaluation time constraints. After June, December grad- uations, the GPA is rechecked for honors, which may be added if qualified. ACCESS TO STUDENT RECORDS Savannah State University 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 University's written policy on "Access to Student Records" com- plies with the provisions of the Act. A copy of this policy and a copy of a summary of the FERPA regulations may be obtained in the Registrar's Office. Students also have the right to file complaints with the FERPA Office of the Department of Education, Washington, D.C. 20201, regarding alleged violations of the Act. RELEASE OF DIRECTORY INFORMATION Directory information will be treated as public information and be generally available on all students and former students at the discretion of the University. 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 81 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 University's Registrar within ten (10) days of the beginning of any academic quarter during which the student is enrolled. This time requirement is necessary to insure that directory information which is withheld is not included in the various university 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 rea- sonably 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. 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 notification. State Requirement In History and Government By State law, each student who receives a diploma or certificate from a school supported by the State of Georgia must demonstrate proficiency in United States History and Government and in Georgia History and Government. A student at Savannah State University may demonstrate such proficiency by receiving credit in certain courses. For U.S. and Georgia government-political science 200; for U.S. and Georgia History-History 202 or 203. STUDENT ACADEMIC GRIEVANCE APPELLATE PROCEDURES (Disciplinary) A. Original Jurisdiction: 1. Initial and Original Jurisdiction All student grievances of an academic nature in the University shall rest with the individual departments for a decision. The student shall have the option of accepting this decision or of making an appeal. This step is handled by the School's Educational Policy Committee. 82 B. Appeals: 1. Right of Appeal Appeals shall be available to every student in an acade- mic grievance proceeding against the School. The appeal must be filed within forty-five (45) calendar days with appropriate Department Head. 2. Appellate Procedure When a decision of original jurisdiction has been rendered, the Grievant shall have seven (7) calendar days to appeal this decision. All appeals shall be in writing and supporting documents pre- sented to the Dean of the School. Within three (3) days, the Appellant shall be given, in writing, all charges upon which the original decision was based as well as all necessary infor- mation for the appellate hearing procedures. The student shall be guaran- teed a speedy hearing, yet given adequate time to prepare his defense. 3. Jurisdiction of Appeal The Vice-President for Academic Affairs shall make the decision regarding all appeals. The Vice-President shall have the preroga- tive of either creating a special committee, or using an independent officer to assist in hearing the case. 4. Rights of Appellant The Grievant shall have the right to: (a) Be present when all evidence is presented against him/her and all wit- nesses appear; (b) Have an advisor (non lawyer) present to assist throughout the proceedings; (c) Cross-examine witnesses; (d) Present evidence by witness or affidavit; and (e) Present evidence by deposition when a witness is unable to appear. 5. Hearing Procedures There shall be a record kept of the entire proceedings. This may be done by tape or by a stenographer. (a) The hearing will commence by a reading of the charges and the decision of the department of original jurisdiction. (b) Evidence will be presented to sustain the decision. WITHDRAWING FROM THE UNIVERSITY Any student who feels that the circumstances require his withdrawal from the University may do so by filing the appropriate forms in the office of the Vice- President for Academic Affairs. Students who withdraw after the midpoint of each quarter (see Academic Calendar in this catalog and the quarterly Schedule of Classes) will receive the grade of "WF" except in cases of hardship as approved by the academic Dean in consultation with the Vice-President for Student Affairs. Students should initially petition the Vice-President for Student Affairs for relief due to extenuating circum- stances 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 University 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 will for- mally approve the request for withdrawal and forward the appropriate forms to the 83 offices of the Academic Vice-President, the Registrar, and the Vice-President for Business and Finance. 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. WITHDRAWAL FROM THE UNIVERSITY DURING AN ACADEMIC TERM A student who wishes to withdraw from all classes during a term (even if only registered for one course) must do the following: 1. Notify the appropriate school Dean or Academic Advisor in person or in writing; 2. Obtain authorization from the Dean or Advisor by completing a withdrawal form with the Vice President for Academic Affairs; 3. Submit the completed form to the Registrar's Office. A student is considered enrolled until officially withdrawn. Failure to withdraw officially from the university will result in grades of "F" for all courses. Once a quar- ter begins, withdrawal from the university is recorded as an "Official Withdrawal" on the student's academic record. A student who wishes to withdraw from the university between quarters is not required to withdraw formally but is encouraged to contact his/her academic advisor or Dean about the decision. UNIVERSITY LIBRARY The Asa H. Gordon Library houses 176,014 volumes, including 28,534 bound peri- odicals. Approximately 515,730 microforms are housed in the library. Current sub- scriptions include 778 periodicals and 30 newspapers. There is an extensive collection of materials by and about African Americans. The library houses a multi- plicity of educational media materials which include: records, audio tapes, film units, video units, kits, television monitors, projectors, distance learning, and others. The services of the Asa H. Gordon Library include: library instruction, audio- visual services, bibliographic services, Xerox and microfilm copying, database searching, interlibrary loans, fax services, Galileo and CD Rom services (Share- Pac). The library presently operates a Data Research Association turnkey auto- mated system. The circular, air-conditioned, two-story structure was occupied in January of 1977. Conference and individual study rooms are located throughout the building. There are elevators and facilities for the handicapped. Periodical subscriptions, ref- erence and the circulation areas are located on the first floor. The Educational Media, African American Collection, and two Distance Learning classrooms are located on the second floor. Typing facilities are on both floors. A well-trained staff is available to assist the campus community at all times during the hours the library is open. 84 DEGREE AND GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS EXIT EXAMINATIONS Additional competency tests appropriate to a student's program of study may be required by the University, and by the student's academic department prior to grad- uation. 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 Fall and Spring Quarters. NOTE: See page 78 for Honors. 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. 3. Satisfactory completion of the minimum requirements of the Core Curriculum as outlines for Area I, II, and III, and in the specific degree programs for Area IV. 4. Satisfactory completion of core courses (PSC 200 and HIS 202 or 203) designed to give students proficiency in United States and Georgia history and government. 85 5. Satisfactory completion of the University System of Georgia Language Skills Examination. 6. A prescribed school or departmental major (such as business administration, chemistry, or engineering technology) or a major of at least 45 hours in one department and a minor of 25-29 hours, with no grade below "C" in major, minor, or special subject requirements. Certain major courses must be taken in residence at this University. 7. Residence of at least one year at Savannah State University. Students are required to spend the senior year (a minimum of 45 quarter hours) in resi- dence. 8. Completion of all the above requirements within eight calendar years. The Uni- versity 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. ACADEMIC PROBATION AND SUSPENSION Savannah State University is operated for students who demonstrate seriousness of purpose and ability and disposition to profit by college work. Students who fail to fulfill the scholarship requirements of the institution are subject to scholastic disci- pline. At the end of each quarter the Office the Registrar computes cumulative grade point averages in order to determine the academic standing of all students in residence. At that time the Registrar shall notify the Vice-President for Academic Affairs of the University prior to notification of students and their parents or guardians of the academic probation, suspension, or dismissal of students. In addi- tion, he shall notify other appropriate personnel of this action. 1. Any student who earns a "D" or "F" in English 107, or 109 or in any course required in his major or minor must repeat the course during the next quar- ter that it is offered. 2. Stages of Progress Minimum Cumulative Quarter Hours Grade Point Average 1-45 1.5 46-90 1.7 91 and above 2.0 6 A student whose cumulative grade average at the end of any quarter is at or above the minimum grade point average for his appropriate stage of progress will be considered in good standing. A student whose cumulative grade point average first falls below the mini- mum grade point average for his stage of progress will then be placed on acad- emic warning . A student on academic warning whose cumulative grade point average is not raised to the satisfactory level for his stage of progress at the end of the quar- ter will then be placed on academic probation . A student who does not achieve the cumulative grade point average for his stage of progress, but does maintain a 2.0 grade point average for his probation- ary quarter will be continued on probation for the next quarter of attendance. A student who does not raise his grade point average to the minimum level for his stage of progress or achieve a 2.0 grade point average during his pro- bationary quarter will be suspended from the University for one quarter. 3. A student on probation (1) may not register for less than ten hours if resident student (five hours if commuting student) and not more than twelve to fifteen hours; (2) must repeat all courses in which he earned the grade of F that are prescribed in his curriculum and all courses in his major and minor concen- tration and Freshman English in which he earned the grade of D; (3) must report to their academic advisor for counseling immediately after being noti- fied of the probationary status, and (4) will not be permitted to represent the University or hold office in any university organization. 4. A student who does not remove the probationary status within two quarters will be suspended for one quarter unless he/she achieves a 2.00 average dur- ing the second quarter of the probation period. Thereafter, the probation will be continued, without suspension, so long as the student continues to make a 2.00 average for each quarter that he/she is enrolled. 5. Any student who fails all of his/her classes during a given quarter, or who withdraws from all of his/her classes without an approved withdrawal from the university, will not be permitted to enroll for the succeeding quarter. 6. A student who has been suspended for academic reasons may be readmitted when he/she has complied with the following procedures: a. Submission of an Application for Readmission at least thirty (30) days prior to the beginning of the quarter that he expects to return; b. Submission of evidence of increased motivation and maturity. The University reserves the right to deny admission to any student who has been suspended for academic reasons. 7. Applications for Readmission are considered by the Committee on Admission on the Basis of detailed information concerning the cause of failure, academic goals, entrance tests, college grades previously earned, length of absence, motivation, outside commitments, and recommendations from appropriate personnel. 8. A student who has been readmitted will be allowed three quarters to remove his probationary status; however, if he/she maintains a minimum grade point average of 2.00 each quarter of his probationary period, his probation may be extended. Failure to fulfill these conditions will result in dismissal. One 87 calendar year after dismissal, a student may petition the Academic Council of the University for readmission if he/she can convincingly demonstrate that he has had a change of attitude toward his academic responsibilities; however, the student should understand that such permission is rarely granted. 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' Test 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 compo- nent need not be retaken; this provision is retroactive to all students who have taken the Test in any form since the inception of the program. The intent of this policy is that passing the Regents' Test occur before the end of the student's sophomore year, that is, before the completion of 90 hours of degree credit. Students who fail the test must retake the Regents' Test each quarter until it is passed. Each institution shall provide an appropriate program of remediation and shall require deficient students who have earned 75 hours 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 passed English 107, 108, and 109, or students who have earned forty-five (45) credit hours and passed English 107 and 108 (whichever is completed first) are REQUIRED to take the Regents' Examination during the next quarter of enrollment. 2. Students who have earned sixty (60) credit hours (regardless of the English courses passed) are REQUIRED to take the Regents' Examination during the next quarter of enrollment after having earned sixty credit hours. 88 3. First time examines must take both parts of the Examination in one adminis- tration. 4. Students who fail to sit for the Examination as required under numbers 1, 2 and 3 above will be suspended. 5. 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. 6. 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. 7. Students must take the Regents' Examination each quarter until both parts have been successfully passed. 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) and 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 attend 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), "U" (Unsatisfactory), or "F" (Non Attendance or Stopped Attending.) Savannah State University students who may be jointly enrolled at other System schools are required to take their Regents' Examination remedial courses at Savannah State University. 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 taking both Eng 092 and Eng 093 will not be permitted to take more than three (3) credit hours. Failure to sit for the Examination during the quarter in which remediation is taken will result in suspension. Students who have been suspended for failure to sit for the Examination when required must re-enroll for remedial courses during their next quarter of enrollment and they must also sit for the Examination that quarter. If these students fail to enroll in remediation their registration will be cancelled. Student Responsibility Students are responsible for complying with all Institutional policies regarding the Regents' Testing Program. Failure to comply will result in disciplinary action ranging from cancellation of registration to suspension, depending upon the gravity of the situation. 89 Academic Advising Academic advisors should verify compliance with this policy before signing-off on class schedules of their advises. Accordingly, academic advisors should: 1. Require that students with forty-five (45) credit hours sit for the Regents' Test upon the successful completion of English 107 and 108, or English 107, 108, and 109 with less than forty-five (45) credit hours. 2. Assure that advises adhere to all policies regarding required sitting and remediation. 3. Encourage students to register for freshman 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 University with seventy-five (75) or more earned degree credit hours shall take the Test during the second 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 University 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 eligi- bility and remediation. Special Needs Students Students with legal visual, auditory, and motor handicaps or learning disabilities may arrange for local certification of competency. Schedule an appointment in the Student Counseling Center. 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. 90 3. The review will be initiated at Savannah State University by the student's completion of "Request for Review" form available at the Office of the Regents' Test Coordinator. The Regents' Coordinator will determine the stu- dent's eligibility based upon the criteria in paragraphs 1 and 2 above. The review, if warranted, will be conducted by a three-member panel (composed of two English instructors and one additional person) appointed by the Vice- President of the University 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. Veterans, Disability, and War Orphans' Benefit Savannah State University 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 University under any of the veteran's benefits programs provided by public law should apply to the Savannah State University admissions office in the normal manner. It is advisable for a vet- eran 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 Savannah 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 concurrently with his/her application to Savannah State University. As soon as the applicant is notified of acceptance by the Savannah State University Admissions Office, the SSU veterans coordinator should be contacted for further instructions. 91 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 Learning Support or in certain certification pro- grams). 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 University 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. Learning Support students, active military duty, and students attending on a less-than-half-time basis must renew their certifica- tions 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 (RE.) 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. 92 REGISTRATION ACTIVITIES SCHEDULE OF CLASSES ACADEMIC ADVISING PRE-REGISTRATION REGISTRATION MAIL REGISTRATION LATE REGISTRATION SCHEDULE ADJUSTMENT (DROP AND ADD) SPECIAL REGISTRATION CONDITIONS TRANSCRIPT/ACADEMIC RECORDS 93 REGISTRATION ACTIVITIES UNDERGRADUATE AND GRADUATE SCHEDULE OF CLASSES The Schedule of Classes is published each quarter to provide course offerings, assigned dates, times and procedures for all registration activities.

Eason, Project Director The primary purpose of the School of Business is to provide a quality education for undergraduate students. Subordinate to the primary purpose, research and ser- vice are objectives of the School of Business. The School of Business is a four-year professional program that combines a general education with broad based programs of education in business, based on the philosophy that the best education for busi- ness leaders is that of a combination of professional studies and studies in the lib- eral arts. The emphasis on the liberal arts is most significant during the student's fresh- man and sophomore years. The major focus during the last two years of study is on a common body of knowledge in a basic business core, which serves as the basis 98 on which a student builds a major. This education provides graduates with the necessary background for initiating careers in one of the functional areas of busi- ness and an appropriate introduction to the tools of management that are necessary for success. The School of Business offers programs of study leading to the Bachelor of Business Administration degree (B.B.A.). Major programs include Accounting, Com- puter Information Systems, International Business Management, Management and Marketing. The School currently offers an emphasis program of study in Hospitality Management (institutional strategic plans include developing this emphasis into a major program of study in the School of Business) and business content course work in a cooperative program with the Armstrong Atlantic State University School of Education. ACADEMIC COUNSELING Each student, in the School of Business is assigned to an academic adviser in the student's major area of specialization. Students are not allowed to be self-advised, thus each student must be counseled by an adviser before attempting to register for any course. Each student, working with an adviser, will plan the student's academic progress through his/her career at Savannah State University. The plan as approved by the adviser and the Associate Dean of the School of Business will be recorded as a perma- nent part of the School of Business records. ACADEMIC REGULATIONS 1.

To serve as a pre-professional area for students preparing for advanced study in other areas, such as humanities, law, library science. 3. To prepare students for employment in non-traditional careers for humanities majors (banking, insurance, etc.) 4. To prepare students for careers in mass communications in four areas: print media, electronic media, media management, and performing arts.. 5. To help students develop competence in English communicative skills: read- ing, writing, speaking, listening, analysis, and critical thinking. 6. To develop student's knowledge and appreciation of world art, literature, and music from the ancient period through the modern period, with recursive ref- erence to and study of Black African and African American humanities.

THE INTERDISCIPLINARY MASS COMMUNICATIONS MAJOR The Mass Communications Degree Program is an interdisciplinary program which offers the student who is interested in a professional communications 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: print, journalism, 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 theological 142 studies, which are traditionally called humanistic. Therefore, the mass communica- tions program utilizes these disciplines to assist students in the development of basic insights into human nature and in the acquisition of humanistic principles upon which the media must rest. Additionally, students are provided with the opportunity to further enhance their skills by working as volunteers at WHCJ-FM Radio, and by working on the staff of the College newspaper, the Tiger's Roar. Every student enrolled in the program is required to take six mass communica- tions core courses: COM 110, Introduction to Mass Communications; COM 200, Basic News Writing; ENG 201, Principles of Speech; COM 215, Writing for Radio and TV.; COM 312, Public Relations Practices, and COM 492, Professional Media Internship.

EKE, Dean WILLIE E. JOHNSON, Acting Graduate Dean KENNETH A. JORDAN, MPA Director Shirley Geiger Brenda Sullivan Mordu Serry-Kamal James A. Zow, Sr. 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 this philosophy, the School and Savannah State University offer the MPA Program which enables students to acquire specialized training in Public Administration. The Master of Public Administration Program (MPA) strives to broaden the students' understanding of the problems and opportunities of urban communi- ties and develop an awareness of social and civic responsibility. The MPA Program is dedicated 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 gov- ernment, education and business. Students acquire administrative, managerial, and technical knowledge and skills needed for a successful public service career. 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 students. When admitted as a degree student, the applicant will be placed in one of the fol- lowing categories: a. Regular Admission A prospective candidate for a degree who meets all requirements for unquali- fied 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 Admission Provisional admission may be awarded to applicants who meet some, but not all, of the above criteria. Applicants who do not qualify for regular admission may be granted provisional admission. Students may be provisionally admit- ted if their graduate record examination (GRE) scores are less than the 212 required combined score of 900 on the verbal and quantitative components of the exam. Provisionally admitted students must retake the graduate record exam and qualify for regular admission by scoring 900 on the combined ver- bal and quantitative components. While pursuing the MPA degree in a provi- sional status, students will be allowed to enroll in only three (3) courses and must maintain a grade point average 3.0. When such students successfully satisfy the GRE requirements, the admissions committee will re-evaluate their academic standings and upgrade their status to regular admittance.

In-service students can typically complete the nec- essary Internship paper in one quarter. Pre-service students submit periodic progress reports on the Internship each quarter upon completion of the Internship experience, a formal eval- uation is submitted by the agency where the student interns. Letter grades are awarded for these interns each term. However, in-service stu- dents receive only the single grade. If their project 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 work is approved. ADMISSION TO CANDIDACY It is the responsibility of the student pursuing a program leading to the Master of Public Administration degree to make application for admission to candidacy after completion of thirty hours of graduate work. Unless admitted to candidacy, a graduate student may not continue graduate courses after earning thirty hours of graduate credit without written permission of the Dean of the Graduate School. The application should be filed with the office of the Graduate Dean. Approval of the application is contingent upon the fol- lowing certification by the Program Director: 1. That the applicant has made satisfactory progress in a planned pro- gram of study. 2. That applicant is classified or is eligible for classification as "Regular", in the Graduate School.

The graduation fee must be paid and all other financial obligations or "holds" must be satisfied before a student is cleared for graduation. COURSE REGISTRATION A student admitted to the Graduate Program must register for courses within twelve months after admission. An applicant who does not register within the period of twelve months will be required to submit a new application for admission at a later date. A student who reapplies must satisfy all conditions for admission required at the time of reapplication. A student who has been admitted to a Graduate Program and begins a program of study and fails to enroll in any quarter following the period in which he/she initiated the course work must notify the Graduate Dean of his/her intention to enroll in a subsequent quarter and must complete a readmis- sion form furnished by the Graduate Dean's Office. A student who has completed the stated objective in admission to the Graduate Program must reapply for additional course work after completion of the objective. REQUIRED ACADEMIC STANDING An average of "B" must be maintained on all courses attempted in the Master of Public Administration degree program. No grade below a "C" may apply toward any degree.

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 Program. The student will be required to satisfy, in full the course requirements as prescribed by his/her new academic advisor and if changing degree program, the stu- dent 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/her control, An "I" must be removed by the end of the fourth quar- ter (one calendar year) following the quarter in which it was recorded. It is the student's responsibility to insure that the course work is completed. If the "I" is not satisfactorily removed at the appropriate time it will be changed to an "F". An "S" indicates that credit has been given for completion of degree requirements other than academic course work. The symbol "U" indicates unsatisfactory performance in an attempt to complete degree requirements other than academic course work. 218 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 determined by the Dean of the Graduate School. A "W" is not considered in com- puting 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 registered will receive an "F" unless he/she officially (by appropriate signatures) withdraws from the course at the time he/she ceases to attend. A student who registers for a course and finds that he/she has made an error at registration must take the official change through drop/add. Under no conditions may a student earn credit for a course unless he/she 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 exercise must file an application for graduation 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 Dean's Office. See calendar for specific dates.

JOHNSON, Acting Graduate Dean DR. KENOYE K. EKE, Dean DR. KANATA J. ARNOLD, Director DR. SHINAZ JINDANI DR. CORDELIA KIRK DR. JAMES L. MAURY DR. LILLIAN REDDICK DR. BEVERLY WATKINS DR. JEROME WRIGHT MASTER OF SOCIAL WORK The goal of the Master of Social Work (M.S.W.) program is the education of stu- dents for social work practice in a variety of human service settings and to teach students to function as change agents with a variety of unempowered populations, while enabling these populations to act on their own behalf. Because our students are likely to work with clients from a variety of different population groups, the pro- gram is designed to train students to gain expertise in working with clients where there may be differences in customs, traditions, beliefs, and perspectives. Students will be trained to work in a variety of multicultural settings. The master's program emphasizes a systems perspective which focuses on the interactions of a person or system in relation to the various environments likely to be encountered. The program is deeply committed to the relief of human distress and human inequality. The curriculum emphasizes recognition and integration of knowledge, values, and skills combined with a multicultural perspective in order to help individuals and social systems develop a better quality of life and more per- sonal empowerment. The master's program defines its mission as the provision of an educational pro- gram and experience which does the following: (1) Educates students to the values and ethics of the profession. The purpose of social work is to promote or restore a mutually beneficial interaction between individuals and society. This program teaches students to become advocates of humane and responsive change. (2) Teaches analytic skills necessary for reflective and autonomous practice and necessary for contribution to the advancement of knowledge. Students are expected to develop a spirit of inquiry to achieve a critical posture around the social situation, the functioning of the profession and of social agencies and their own performance. These are founded on two dimensions: knowledge of human and social behavior, which is utilized analytically in professional rela- tionships and salient and comparable knowledge of the array of functions, roles, and practice skills available to the profession of social work. (3) Prepare social workers for leadership and specialized practice with specific population groups. The program maintains high standards and prepares social workers for the depth and complexity of generic social work practice while being able to practice in a chosen area of concentration. Foundation knowledge, values, and skills required for intervention in a cross-cultural 226 context are applied and developed through work within the area of specializa- tion. Specialized education is offered concurrently with basic foundation knowledge from entry into the program. Students are expected to have expe- rience in the social services upon which to draw after entry into the program. (4) Contributes to the quality of social services delivered in Chatham county and adjacent communities by providing an opportunity for advanced education to students who are already employed in the social services. These students may concurrently maintain employment within the social services and partic- ipate in the program to develop advanced skills in their area. Quality of ser- vices is also enhanced through close collaboration between SSU's Social Work Program and community service agencies offering field practicum experience and increasing the labor force of M.S.W.'s educated in a program with multi- cultural emphasis and specializations which reflect the needs of our adjacent communities as well as the needs of urban and rural communities nationally. The Master of Social Work Program is presently in the process of being accredited by the Council on Social Work Education. ADMISSION TO MASTER'S DEGREE PROGRAM The admissions process at Savannah State University requires prospective stu- dents to apply to the Admissions Office before the application can be evaluated by the Social Work Program. The application is sent directly from the Admissions Office to the Social Work Program Admissions Committee for review and decision. The committee will make its recommendations to the Director of the Social Work Program. Admission to the MSW Program is on a selective basis, determined by the follow- ing criteria: A baccalaureate degree from an accredited college or university. Students may be admitted with a baccalaureate degree in a field other than social work or social welfare. Grade point average (GPA) of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale for regular admission Grade point average (GPA) of 3.5 on a 4.0 scale for Advanced Standing Minimum GRE score of 850 Minimum one year full time paid work experience for advanced standing Graduation from CSWE accredited BSW program within 5 years of entry into MSW program (advanced standing) Students may have a conditional admission if the GPA is below 3.0 (e.g., GPA 2.5 - 2.99) and the GRE score is below 850 Students admitted on conditional status must acquire a 3.0 GPA during the first semester of graduate work (15 credit hours) Official transcript(s) direct from all colleges/universities attended Application to Savannah State University Graduate Social Work program must be submitted Two page autobiographical statement to include an understanding of social work as a profession and the individual's motivation for graduate social work education Four letters of reference; one may be from an instructor or faculty advisor; if employed, one letter should be from a person in a supervisory capacity.

Applicants must meet the following requirements: All admission requirements of the Social Work Program and Savannah State University. Up to 30 credit hours may be transferred from a master's degree program accred- ited by the Council on Social Work Education, if the student has earned a "B" or better in each course within the past five years Provide a copy of the following information for each course for which transfer credit is requested: a. the name of the course b. catalog description c. course outline/syllabus, including bibliography d. submit a letter of recommendation from the Dean or Dean's designee related to the student's status during enrollment at the previous or current School of Social Work FIELD PRACTICUM Field practicum plays an integral role in the MSW curriculum. The experience offers an opportunity for students to integrate and apply theoretical knowledge and social work practice skills in a human service setting under the instruction of an approved agency based social worker. A variety of settings within the surrounding counties are utilized, reflecting the diverse settings in which social workers prac- tice. The University contracts with human service settings approved by the Department of Social work for purposes of educational affiliation. The two-year MSW program requires each student to complete 1040 clock hours of practicum for a total of 30 credits. After the completion of two quarters of course work, the foundation practicum is offered in a 32 hours a week block placement for a total of 320 hours (15 credits). Satisfactory completion of the foundation year is essential to program advancement. The advanced placement is offered concurrently with practice course work in the student's chosen concentration at 24 hours a week for a total of 720 hours over three quarters (15 credits). Students are required to be members of the National Association of Social Workers and to obtain the Department's recommended student professional liability insurance prior to entry to the field. Further, students are responsible for trans- portation to and from the practicum setting. ADVANCEMENT TO CANDIDACY A provisionally classified or fully classified student must maintain a minimum grade point average (GPA) of 3.0 in all courses taken subsequent to admission. In 228 addition, a GPA of 3.0 must be maintained in all courses required for the degree.

Murchison Carless Lawyer, Senior Secretary 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 science, environmental and computer sciences which will enable students to achieve computational and problem-solving skills, and understanding of basic phys- ical 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 Division of Student Support. 260 REQUIRED EXAMINATIONS 1. Each candidate for the baccalaureate degree in the Department of Mathematics, Physics and Computer Science Technology is required to pass the reading and essay writing components of the Regents' Testing Program (RTP). 2. Senior Mathematics, Physics (deactivated) and Computer Science Technology majors are required to take the Graduate Record Examination (Area and Aptitude Tests) as the comprehensive examination in their field . 3. All graduating seniors of the department are required to take the assessment examination given by the department.

The Georgia Southern University Military Science Department provides a curriculum available to Savannah State University students that qualifies the college graduate for a commission as an officer in the United States Army, United States Army Reserve, or the United States Army National Guard. The ROTC program is a cooperative program contractually agreed to by the United States Army and Savannah State University as a mean of providing the military service with highly qualified and motivated young men and women with leadership potential. The Department, in the implementation of Military Qualification Standard I (MQSI), teaches and develops cadets in accor- dance with the guideline established by the Department of the Army for Officer Pre- commissioning training. 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. PROGRAM OFFERINGS BASIC COURSE (MIL 121, 122, 123) (MIL 221, 222, 223) 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. Those students who successfully complete the Basic Course, meet the Army Physical standards, and demonstrate officer potential, will be considered for con- tracting and enrollment in the Advanced Course. ADVANCED COURSE (MIL 321, 322, 323) (MIL 421, 422, 423) 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. Students who have successfully completed the Basic ROTC Course or Basic Camp are eligible to enroll in the Advanced Course. 307 Veterans who have had at least two years of active duty service and who have completed quarter hours and Junior ROTC cadets who have completed 4 years of junior ROTC, may receive placement credit and authorization to enroll in the Advanced Program when approved by the Professor of Military Science (PMS). Also, for Qualities of positive potential for becoming an officer must be demonstrated. Leadership potential is emphasized as a very important single factor to be consid- ered for enrollment and continuance in the program. Advanced Military Science The general objective of this course of instruction is to produce junior officers who by education, training, attitude and inherent qualities are suitable for 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. 308 Advanced Summer Camp Students that are contracted and in the Advanced Course 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 active army rates and given travel allowance from their home to camp and return. Financial Assistance All contracted advanced cadets are paid a subsistence allowance of $150 per month while enrolled in the advanced course. Scholarship Program Each year the U.S. Army awards two and three year On-Campus scholarships to outstanding young men and women participating in the Army ROTC program who desire careers as commissioned officers in the U.S. Army. The Army pays tuition, fees, books and laboratory expenses incurred by the scholarship student. In addition, each student receives $150 per month for the academic year. Individuals desiring to compete for these scholarships should apply at 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.

Awan Charlie L. Bryan, III H. Elaine Cannick Michael A. Douglas Clara B. Elmore-Bain Mary Ann Goldwire Timothy B. Goodwin JOAN D. S. MAYNOR, Director Barbara Haas Phat Q. Hong Shirley B. James Lancy C. Jen Beverly Johnson, Secretary Rosalind M. Kent Linda E. Logan Willie G. McLemore Constance B. Morgan Lawrence F. Simmons Cynthia M. Stephens George Tessema Yvonne A. Warren Marianne Wilson Norma E. Wilson- Burton ADMISSION The Collegiate Placement Examination (CPE) or COMPASS (The Computer- Adaptive Placement Assessment and Support System) must be taken by all prospec- tive students who meet the following criteria: (1) have a composite Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT-I) score of less than 880 (recentered) or above 880 (recentered) but less than 430 (recentered) on the verbal or 400 (recentered) on the mathematics section; or (2) have an American College Test (ACT) composite score of less than 19 or above 19 but less than 18 on the English and less than 16 on the mathematics section; and/or (3) have not met the high school College Preparatory Curriculum (CPC) requirements in English and mathematics. Students who have not attended high school or college within the previous five (5) years are also required to take the Collegiate Placement Examination or COMPASS. College-wide cut off scores on the aforementioned tests, in conjunction with other standard and locally constructed instruments, are utilized to determine exemption from placement into the Learning Support courses. CPE cut off scores for exemption and exit are English - 75; mathe- matics - 75, and reading - 75. COMPASS scores in English, mathematics, and read- ing must satisfy the minimum equivalent to the CPE in order for students to be exempted or exited from Learning Support courses. 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) or COMPASS 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 Division of Learning Support until the student exits all learning support courses. When the student exits all Learning Support courses, a change of advisor form is initiated by the Division of Learning Support advisor and sent by the stu- dent 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 313 required to enroll only in 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 can successfully adapt to the academic challenges of the college classroom. The Program supports and is committed to the contention that "high risk" students possess strengths that should be developed and weaknesses that can be remediated. In order to facilitate this growth and development, each of the three components of Savannah State's Program of Learning Support has created objectives designed to pro- mote the overall mission of the Program and the University. They are (1) to strengthen the reading skills of conditionally admitted students; (2) to strengthen the mathe- matical skills of conditionally admitted students; and (3) to strengthen the 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 stu- dents' pursuit of academic excellence and life survival skills. A student shall not be allowed more than four quarters or four attempts per area to remediate deficiencies. A student who fails to exit successfully any one or more courses within the four-quarters or four-attempts limitation shall be suspended from Savannah State University and any other unit of the University System of Georgia for one quarter. This suspension does not include the summer quarter. A student who fails to complete all Learning Support requirements within one quarter of re- entry, after the first suspension, shall be suspended 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 Learning Support courses until the 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) or the equivalent score on COMPASS must enroll in the corresponding 097 course. To pass an 097 course, a student must maintain a "C" average or better throughout the quarter. A student who earns a scaled score of 70-74 on the required entry level CPE or the equivalent score on COMPASS must enroll in the corresponding 098 course. An 098 student who maintains a "C" average or better throughout the quarter is eligi- ble 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 or the equivalent score on COMPASS.

These 34 public institutions are located throughout the state. A 16-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 eleven congressional districts - are made by the governor, subject to confirmation by the State Senate. Regular terms of board members are seven years. The chairman, the vice chairman, 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, four-year colleges, and two-year colleges. This curriculum requires 90 quarter-credit hours, including 60 in general education humanities, mathe- matics and natural sciences, and social sciences and 30 in the student's chosen major area of study. It facilitates the transfer of freshman and sophomore degree credits within the University System. Public service/continuing education consists of non-degree activities, primar- ily, and special types of college-degree-credit courses. The non-degree activities are of several types, including short courses, seminars, conferences, lectures, and consul- tative and advisory services, in a large number of areas of interest. 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 four-year and two-year 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 319 institution is the president, whose election is recommended by the chancellor and approved by the Board. The University System Advisory Council, with 34 committees, engenders contin- ual Systemwide dialogue on major academic and administrative matters of all types. It also make recommendations to the chancellor for transmittal to the Board of Regents as appropriate, regarding academic and administrative aspects of opera- tion of the system. The advisory council consists of the chancellor, the vice chancellor, and all presi- dents as voting members; and it includes other officials and staff members of the institutions as nonvoting members. The advisory council's 21 academic committees and 13 administrative committees are made up of representatives from the institu- tions. The committees dealing with matters of university-systemwide application include, typically, at least one member from each institution. State appropriations for the University System are requested by, and are made to, the Board of Regents. Allocations of the appropirations are made by the - is allo- cated by the board for instruction. BOARD OF REGENTS UNIVERSITY SYSTEM OF GEORGIA 244 WASHINGTON STREET, S.W.
