The Campus Bookstore at Georgia Southwestern State University is institutionally owned and operated. The bookstore has been established to provide the student body with goods and services at the least possible cost. It is a part of the University that has goals directly centered on the satisfaction and success of the students and the faculty. The bookstore is self-sufficient, receiving no funding from the University System, and any profit is returned to the institution. The success of the bookstore lies with the success of the students. The bookstore carries new and used textbooks, with an emphasis on trying to obtain as many used textbooks as possible through student buybacks and various wholesale distributors. In addition to course materials, the bookstore stocks computer software, mass-market paperback books, computer books, study aids, reference materials, and school/office supplies for academic use. The bookstore also has gifts, including tee shirts, hats, coffee mugs, seasonal gift items, balloon bouquets, greeting cards, a classic collection of crystal engraved with the school seal, and many other gift items. Other goods and services offered through the bookstore include fax services, phone cards, and special ordering for any academic materials at no cost. The bookstore accepts personal checks, MasterCard, Visa, Discover, and also has a voucher system allowing students to purchase academic materials with their financial aid funds.

LOCATION/STORE HOURS
The Campus Bookstore is located in the Marshall Student Center. During fall and spring semesters, the bookstore is open from 8:30am until 5:30pm Monday through Thursday, and 8:30am until 3:30pm on Friday. The bookstore closes during breaks to restock shelves for the following term. The store is also closed on holidays. Extended hours of operation are offered during the beginning of each term to accommodate the large volume of students buying books and supplies for new classes.

TEXTBOOKS
The textbook buyback is conducted at the end of every semester during final exams. Books that are not changing to new editions and will be used the following term will be purchased at 50% of the price paid for the book. Books that are not being used again by the bookstore will be purchased by the buyer at established wholesale prices. The textbook carried by the bookstore is based strictly on faculty selection. Every attempt is made to have the books in stock before the beginning of the term, however, there are occasional delays due to receiving the text information late, publishers being out of stock, late or misdirected shipments, or unexpected increases in a course's enrollment.

REFUND POLICY
The bookstore encourages students to attend class before purchasing textbooks. A full refund will be given during the add/drop period of the current term, which is generally the first three days of the semester. The store is simply unable to allow students to keep the materials for a longer period of time and still return them for full credit. New textbooks must be returned in a new, saleable condition with no markings whatsoever in order to be eligible for a refund. A student ID and cash register receipt is required for a refund. Any markings result in the book being reduced to a used status and only a 75% refund given. General supply, gift, and clothing merchandise may be returned for any reason for a full refund within 7 days of purchase with a receipt. Defective merchandise may be returned any time throughout the semester for an exchange. Shrink-wrapped books must be returned in the original wrapping for a full refund. Textbooks purchased after the add/drop period are non-returnable. Sale items, study guides, special-order items, mass-market paperbacks, and computer software are non-returnable.

THE ROSALYNN CARTER INSTITUTE FOR HUMAN DEVELOPMENT

The Rosalynn Carter Institute (RCI) was established in 1987 on the campus of Georgia Southwestern State University. The RCI was formed in honor of former First Lady Rosalynn Carter, an alumna of Georgia Southwestern, to enhance her long-standing commitments to human development and mental health. The RCI facilitates collaborative relationships among citizen consumers, community human service providers, faculty and students to achieve shared goals.

The Rosalynn Carter Institute for Human Development was formed in honor of First Lady Rosalynn Carter in 1987. Through research, education, and training, the RCI promotes the mental health and well-being of individuals, families, and professional caregivers; promulgates effective care giving practices; builds public awareness of care giving needs; and advances public and social policies that enhance caring communities.

The care giving mission of the Institute is implemented through two major projects. The West Central Georgia Caregivers' Network (CARE-NET) assists informal and formal caregivers in a 16-county region. A second project, the National Quality Caregiving Coalition (NQCC), brings together associations and organizations in America that wish to improve the care giving process.

The RCI provides clinical training, research, and public administration opportunities for students. The John and Betty Pope Fellowship Program provides financial assistance for students committed to study and work in the care giving professions. The Pope Eminent Scholar on campus offers students and faculty the opportunity to work with a professional who is nationally recognized in the care giving field. Conferences and workshops offer students an opportunity to learn from nationally recognized figures in the human development and mental health fields.

For more information, email the Rosalynn Carter Institute at rci@rci.gsw.edu or access the RCI homepage at http://www.rosalynncarter.org.

ORIENTATION PROGRAM

Prior to the beginning of the student's first semester at Georgia Southwestern, the new student participates in an orientation program. The GSW O'Team, a specially selected and trained group of undergraduate students, and UNIV 1000 instructors, design an orientation program which makes transition into college life at GSW easier and more enjoyable. Areas given special attention include academic advisement and class schedule planning, University services and facilities, academic policies and procedures, rights and responsibilities of students, issues about which students need to make personal choices, skills necessary for academic success, and opportunities for involvement in student activities. Such topics are explored in more depth in UNIV 1000, The GSW Experience, a 1 semester hour course requirement of all first-time entering students.

New students will be notified well in advance of the date and time for orientation for the semester in which they plan to enroll. These sessions provide opportunities for them to meet GSW faculty and administrators as well as to become familiar with University policies and to ask any questions they may have about the University.

STUDENT LOCATOR SERVICE

In emergency situations, students may be located by calling the Office of Student Life at 229/928-1387 or the Public Safety Office at 229/928-1390 (8 am to 5 pm weekdays) or 229/931-2244 (nights and weekends). Communication with the students will be made from these offices. These offices will not provide directory information to non-GSW personnel.

HOUSING/RESIDENCE LIFE

Residence Life at Georgia Southwestern State University offers students the opportunity to meet new people and make life-long friends, to feel a sense of independence, yet belong to a community, and to be in close contact with people who have values, attitudes, desires, and academic interests different from their own. They will be challenged to question, to think, and to grow as individuals. Students living on campus are more involved in leadership roles than their off-campus peers, including Student Government, sororities and fraternities, campus honorary organizations, the Campus Activities Board, the Orientation Team, the Residence Hall Association, and Hosts and Marshals. Living on campus can be a real PLUS if the student wants to become involved in campus life.

There are four residence halls on the GSW campus ranging in size from less than 100 to approximately 275 students. The halls are staffed with professional and student staff members whose primary objective is to insure a comfortable, congenial, and secure place for students to live and learn.

HOUSING ELIGIBILITY AND REGULATION

GSW has the following on-campus living requirement: All full-time students under the age of 21, who have earned less than 60 semester hours are required to reside on campus unless they have lived on campus for four (4) full term semesters, they are married, have a dependent child, have a documented medical condition,  or they are living in the legal residence of a family member. For this purpose family member is defined as parent(s), guardian(s), grandparent(s), son/daughter, uncle/aunt, or brother/sister who is not a student at GSW.

In order to provide on campus housing at the lowest possible rate, the University operates its residence halls on a contract basis for the full Academic Year beginning with the Fall Semester and continuing through the end of Spring Semester. A separate contract is signed for the Summer Term. Since the ANNUAL HOUSING CONTRACT is a binding agreement between the student and the University, applicants are advised to read this document before signing.

Failure to submit the ANNUAL HOUSING CONTRACT will not cancel the obligation to live on campus. Students who wish to commute to campus from their legal residence or live with a family member who is not a GSW student may request an exemption from this policy by submitting the REQUEST FOR HOUSING EXEMPTION form available from the Office of Student Life.

CANCELLATIONS

(A) New and continuing applicants for campus housing who decide not to enroll at Georgia Southwestern must cancel their contract in writing no later than thirty (30) working days prior to the first official day of classes for the affected term. Cancellation after this date will result in forfeiture of the deposit.

(B) Students who have signed contracts and will enroll at Georgia Southwestern may petition to cancel their contract by submitting the Request for Release petition (obtained in the Residence Life Office) to the Department of Residence Life, Georgia Southwestern State University, Americus, Georgia 31709 thirty (30) days prior to the beginning of the affected term. Notification submitted to other University offices will not insure requested action. Upon approval of housing cancellation, a contract buyout will be required.

CONTRACT BUY OUT

(A) A student who is obligated to the 2006-2007 contract may buy out the contract by paying an assessment of thirty percent (30%) of the value of the contract. Contract buyouts must be completed by 5:00 PM on the first official day of classes for the affected term. Detailed procedures that must be followed to buy out the contract are available at the Department of Residence Life.

(B) The student who buys out his/her contract will forfeit the housing deposit upon release from that contract.

DEPOSITS AND RENT PAYMENTS

(A) The $75.00 deposit must accompany the housing contract and is nontransferable to another person. The deposit is refunded according to the following conditions: 1) the University is unable to provide campus housing, 2) the terms of the contract are fulfilled, the student has been officially checked out of the room by a residence hall staff member, and the student is cleared of responsibility for damage to the room or building. The deposit will be forfeited, wholly or in part, when the student 1) is responsible for damage to the room or building, 2) fails to follow departmental check out procedures, 3) terminates the contract after the established deadlines or before the terms are completed, or 4) owes the University any debt, fine, or other obligation owed by the student.

(B) Housing fees are due and payable in advance at the prescribed rate per academic term. If payment is not made by the stipulated deadline, the student's registration can be canceled.

REFUNDS

Students who officially withdraw from the University qualify for a prorated refund of room fees as determined by the date of the official checkout of the residence hall. Refunds will be prorated by the formula set by the Business Office. Students who vacate their assigned room during the semester without an official withdrawal or official residency release and students who withdraw and fail to officially check out of the room with the Residence Life Staff or students who are evicted for disciplinary reasons will receive no refund of either housing fees or deposit.

FOOD SERVICES

The dining service at GSW provides students with a quality and variety of food choices at an economical cost. A student who has earned less than 60 semester credit hours and who lives in a residence hall is required to purchase a meal plan. The three available meal plans, which include unlimited seconds, are 10 meals per week, 15 meals per week and 21 meals per week. Included with each meal plan is an additional dollar amount available on a declining balance for purchase of items in the Canes Den and/or any additional meals in the Dining Hall.

After purchasing a meal plan the student I.D. is used to gain entrance into the dining hall or the Canes Den, both located in the Marshall Student Center. The Canes Den features a Pizza Hut Express along with other fast food menu items.

Special diets can be provided if prescribed by a physician. The student should discuss any special needs with the food service director by calling 229-924-2732.

Commuting students are also invited to use the University dining service. Options include purchasing any of the available semester meal plans, applying dollars to a declining balance card for use in the Canes Den or Dining Hall, and, of course, purchases may be made with cash.

For any questions concerning the dining services offered at GSW please feel free to call the Food Service Director at 229-924-2732.

HEALTH SERVICES

The Student Health Center at Georgia Southwestern State University is a primary care medical clinic with a specialty in college health providing a broad range of affordable health care to eligible students. Staffed by a physician, nurse practitioners, registered nurses, and support staff, our mission is to assist students with preventive health care and consultations, as well as evaluating, diagnosing and treating health concerns, illnesses and injuries, thereby minimizing their impact on academic progress.

Georgia Southwestern State University provides on campus health services at the Herschel A. Smith Health Center. The Health Center staff provides assistance to students with minor illnesses or injuries and promotes positive physical and mental health by providing health awareness information to students. A women's comprehensive health program staffed by nurse practitioners and registered nurses is available by appointment every Wednesday of each month while the university is in session.

The Health Center staff includes a physician, a family nurse practitioner who serves as Director of the Health Center, and registered nurses. The clinic is open Monday through Friday. Refer to website for posting of hours of operation of the Health Center and Women's Clinic. The Health Center services are available by appointment or on a walk-in basis during operating hours while classes are in session. Hours are subject to change to reflect the needs of the University. The Student Health Center is closed on university holidays and weekends. On weekends, students should notify the Residence Life staff member on duty or Public Safety for medical emergencies. The Health Center can handle minor emergencies, but we cannot deal with life- or-limb threatening emergencies. For medical emergencies, please dial 911 for emergency medical services and then call the Campus Police for assistance, at 229-931-2245. If a student becomes ill, the Health Center will notify family members and faculty if the student so requests.

A student who utilizes Health Center medical services is expected to visit the Health Center at times that do not conflict with academic responsibilities. After a student has been assessed in the Health Center, we will provide a written recommendation to excuse from class only if we feel there is justification. By Georgia Southwestern State University policy, an excuse from class can only be granted by the professor of that class.

The Health Center provides care for all currently registered students and currently employed faculty and staff (who must pay the co-pay health fee whenever using the health center). A mandatory health fee is assessed to students currently enrolled in five or more credits on GSW's campus. A student registered for less than five credit hours has the option to pay the semester health fee, or a co-pay for each visit. The semester health fee entitles the student to consultation services with the professional Health Center staff. There are free over the counter medications available as well as first aid supplies, without charge. Students are accessed fees for prescription medications dispensed at the center, equipment, lab tests and special procedures.

All students are urged to have adequate health coverage for illnesses or emergency visits to the local hospital or a physician's office when the Health Center is closed. Insurance coverage is also recommended for medical care that is not available at the Health Center, including treatment of major injuries, surgery, and hospitalization. The university has a student health insurance plan available to all Georgia Southwestern State University students. Applications for enrollment are available in the Health Center.

Laboratory and x-ray services, inpatient hospital services, hospital emergency room treatment, ambulance transportation to a hospital, and professional services of a non-university medical specialist are not included in the semester health service fee. The Health Center staff, however, will assist the student in making arrangements with medical specialist.

The university physician is available for student visits at the Health Center at designated hours. As a part of your visit to the Health Center, the physician/nurse practitioner can dispense prescription medication at discounted prices-antibiotics, allergy and cold medicines, ear and eye drops, dermatological creams, and more (the clinic does not perform pharmaceutical services for prescriptions written off campus). Medications not stocked by the Health Center are the financial responsibility of the student for whom they are prescribed. The Health Center does not see patients who are pregnant. The Health Center will assist the patient with a referral to an Obstetrician /Gynecologist.

A student accepted for admission will receive a health history and immunization form which is to be completed and returned to the Health Center once accepted for admission to the University. All new students (freshmen, transfers, and others) attending regularly scheduled classes or receiving resident credit will be required to submit a certificate of immunization prior to attending such classes. Students will not be permitted to attend classes or reside in campus housing until the required immunization record is on file with the Health Center.

GEORGIA SOUTHWESTERN STATE UNIVERSITY DRUG FREE CAMPUS POLICY

Georgia Southwestern State University is committed to support and comply with the Drug Free Schools and Communities Act Amendments of 1989 (Public Law 101-226, Section 22, subpart B) as an Institution of Higher Education. The law under this act now covers both drugs and alcohol and relates to faculty, staff, and students. Therefore, the entire campus community of Georgia Southwestern State University is under the mandate to comply.

The Task Force on Alcohol, Tobacco and Other Drugs Committee is a committee appointed by the President of Georgia Southwestern State University.

The Task Force shall focus on alcohol, tobacco, and other drug education, prevention and intervention for the GSW campus community. The Task Force shall:

• provide continual guidance and support to ensure that the 1989 amendments (Part 86) to the "Drug-Free Schools and Campuses Act" regulations are being followed.
• develop a strategic plan for GSW on ATOD issues. This will include the assignment of sub-committees to accomplish strategic plan tasks.
• forward any recommendations or modifications in any current GSW drug/alcohol/tobacco policies to the President.
• establish and assess the Student Assistance Program to educate and provide interventions to students who violate current GSW alcohol, tobacco, and other drug policies as well as any federal, state, or local laws.
• oversee the general education of the campus community in relation to policies, laws, and risks associated with ATOD use including programming, classes, seminars, and workshops.
• collaborate wit GSW's chapter of the BACCHUS Peer Educators to provide quality educational programming in the areas of alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs for the campus community.
• provide training for task force members and peer educators on ATOD issues.
• provide financial support for GSW education and prevention programs.
• assess the university environment surrounding perceptions and use of ATOD using a variety of instruments such as the CORE survey.
• collaborate with members of the community to ensure a community approach to ATOD education.

To achieve the maximum benefit under this program, Georgia Southwestern State University expects faculty, staff, and students to meet appropriate standards of performance, to observe basic rules of good conduct, to comply with Institutional personnel policies and procedures as contained in the Personnel Policy Manual, the Faculty Handbook (as amended), and the GSWeathervane: A Student Handbook (as amended).

As an institution of higher education, the primary focus of the University is on the health and safety of all faculty, staff, and students. It is well substantiated that the health risks in using illicit drugs and abusing alcohol are enormous to the individual, as well as devastating to family, friends, and the community.

Georgia Southwestern provides a confidential counseling and referral program and encourages faculty, staff, and students who feel they have a potential alcohol or other drug-related problem to utilize these services. An important part of this program includes the Student Assistant Program (SAP) which is a coordinated effort by the Office of Student Life, Counseling Center, and the Task Force on Alcohol, Tobacco and Other Drugs.

In the discharge of its responsibilities as an employer and an institution of higher education, Georgia Southwestern State University aggressively promotes and requires a drug free campus among its faculty, staff, and student body. The unlawful manufacture, distribution, dispensation, possession, or use of illegal drugs, tobacco or alcohol by Georgia Southwestern State University employees and students is prohibited by Institutional policy. Violations of this policy, including felony and/or misdemeanor drug or alcohol convictions during the course of employment or enrollment in any academic program at Georgia Southwestern State University, may result in appropriate disciplinary penalties being imposed by the University, up to and including termination of employment or expulsion and referral for prosecution.

This policy shall be communicated to new faculty and classified faculty by the Department of Human Resources to all new entering students and all other students by the Office of Student Life. Each contractor engaged in the performance of federal contract or grant will be provided with a copy of this policy. The institutional Personnel Policy Manual, Faculty Handbook, and GSWeathervane are amended to incorporate this policy.

STUDENT ASSISTANCE PROGRAM (SAP)

The "On Campus Talking about Alcohol" (OCTAA) curriculum serves as the educational portion of the SAP. OCTAA is designed to help students and professionals understand the Lifestyle Risk Model for alcohol/drug prevention and intervention. The risk reduction information is sequential, which makes it essential to attend the entire program.

The curriculum is presented in three two-hour sessions. OCTAA is required for those found guilty of violating GSW alcohol and other drug policies. Further sanctions may be applied if the governing bodies believe it is necessary based on the circumstances. The program is also available for any individual seeking help for alcohol or other drug issues. If a student who is mandated to attend OCTAA fails to attend ALL sessions of OCTAA, a hold will be placed upon their record, making them ineligible to register for classes the following term.

First offense: The student will be sent a letter stating that he/she is required to sign up for and successfully complete the OCTAA program at the next available offering. The Student will sign up for the OCTAA program through the Continuing Education Center and will be required to pay a $35 fee for the program.

THE SEMESTER SYSTEM

The academic year is divided into two semesters (terms) of 15 weeks each and a summer term. New courses are begun each semester; hence, it is possible for students to enter the University at the beginning of any term.

SEMESTER HOURS OF CREDIT

Credit in courses is expressed in semester hours. Normally, a semester hour of credit represents one class hour of work per week for one semester, or an equivalent amount of work in other forms of instruction such as laboratory, studio, or fieldwork. Most of the courses offered by the University meet three times per week for one semester and therefore carry three semester hours of credit.

NUMBERING OF COURSES

Each academic course is designated by numerals. Courses are numbered according to the following plan:

STUDENT ACADEMIC LOAD

The normal course load for students is fifteen semester hours credit in academic subjects (five three-hour courses). A student is considered to be carrying a full load if enrolled for twelve or more semester hours of academic credit. A student is considered to be registered for an overload if enrolled in more than eighteen course credit hours.

A student must have the approval of the Office of the Vice President for Academic Affairs to register for an overload. The following cases usually qualify: (1) Students on the Dean's List or President's List for the preceding term may register for as much as twenty-one hours credit. (2) A student enrolled in certain curricula which require an overload for given semester may register for the specified hours of credit.

Non-resident aliens studying on an F-1 student visa are required by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to maintain enrollment as a full-time student for spring and fall semesters*. In special circumstances, a student may request authorization from his/her Designated School Official (DSO) to reduce the course load based on specific exemptions as outlined by the USCIS.

*Only one on-line/distance learning or independent study course (3 credit hours) may be counted towards meeting the full-time enrollment requirement each semester.

PART-TIME STUDENTS

Students who are enrolled for less than a full load are classified as part-time students. These students may be working toward college degrees or they may be taking courses for self-improvement. Part-time students are required to satisfy the minimum academic standards.

AUDIT

A student must have permission from the Office of the Vice President for Academic Affairs to audit a course. Auditors are expected to attend classes, but they are not required to take examinations or meet course requirements. No credit is given for audits. In the event of overloaded classes, students enrolled for credit will be given preference. Fees for attending class on an audit basis are calculated on the same schedule as regular academic fees.

CREDIT BY EXAMINATION

Credit by examination is offered for a number of courses at the University, e.g. CLEP and Advanced Placement. Credit by examination is listed as such on the transcript along with the course number, title, and hours of credit; however, no grade is assigned and the credit is not included in computing the grade point average. Credit by examination is limited to ten hours in a discipline and thirty hours in the University. Credit by examination is usually earned at the time the student enters the University. See the Registrar for more information.

GRADING SYSTEM AND QUALITY POINTS

A grade of "I" indicates that the student was doing satisfactory work but, for non-academic reasons beyond his/her control, was unable to meet the full requirements of the course during the term scheduled. The individual faculty member assigning the "I" has the responsibility for documenting the work to be completed. This documentation is to be filed with the Academic Dean or Department Chair at the time grades are submitted. An incomplete grade must be removed before the end of the following term (including summer term); otherwise, the grade will be recorded as F.

Students who for non-academic reasons stop attending class prior to midterm should withdraw from the course. A grade of "I" cannot be assigned in this situation.

GRADE POINT AVERAGE

The grade point average is the ratio of quality points earned to the number of credit hours for which the student is accountable. The grade point average will be calculated for each student at the end of each term and will be printed on the transcript as follows:

1. The Semester Grade Point Average is the ratio of quality points earned to credit hours attempted that semester in courses numbered 1000 or above.
2. The Cumulative/Institution Grade Point Average is the ratio of quality points earned to credit hours attempted in courses numbered 1000 or above for which a final grade has been earned. Normally, a course is counted only once for credit hours. For this type of course, the latest grade earned replaces all previous grades and determines the quality points assigned.

A grade of WF is treated as an F in calculating grade point averages.

POLICY ON REPEATING COURSES

Normally, a course is counted only one time for credit hours. If a student wants to repeat a course that falls into this category, he/she may do so with the understanding that the latest grade earned replaces all previous grades. The number of quality points awarded and credit hours earned is determined by this final grade.

CLASS RANK

Students are classified once each year and class rank is based on semester hours of credit earned. Minimum semester hours of academic credit for the different class ranks are as follows:

• Sophomore-30 hours
• Junior-60 hours
• Senior-90 hours

ACADEMIC STATUS: GOOD STANDING, WARNING, PROBATION, SUSPENSION

A grade point average of 2.00 (C average) is required for graduation from Georgia Southwestern State University. (Some curricula may require a higher average.) A student whose performance is below this level exhibits academic deficiencies. The University uses the cumulative/institution grade point average. This grade point average is used in determining academic standing. The following table shows the minimal cumulative/institution grade point average a student must achieve to make acceptable progress toward the 2.00 average and graduation.

The grade point average is calculated each term and appears on the academic transcript to inform the student of his/her progress, along with the academic status of the student. The categories used by the University are Good Standing, Academic Warning, Academic Probation, Academic Suspension, Restricted Enrollment, and Learning Support.

Good Standing

A student will be placed in Good Standing if the cumulative/institution GPA is equal to or above the Required Minimum GPA for the total number of hours the student has earned.

Academic Warning

A student will be placed on Academic Warning at the end of any term in which the cumulative/institutional GPA falls below the required minimum for the total hours earned. The student will have only one semester in which to raise the GPA to the required minimum and return to Good Standing. If not, the student is placed on Academic Probation. Students on Academic Warning are encouraged to take advantage of supplemental instruction resources.

Academic Probation

A student will be placed on Academic Probation if the student fails to return to Good Standing at the end of the semester in which the academic standing of the student was Academic Warning. The student will have only one term to raise the GPA to the required minimum and return to Good Standing. If not, the student is placed on Academic Suspension. Students on Academic Probation are strongly encouraged to take advantage of Academic Assistance resources.

Academic Suspension

A student will be placed on Academic Suspension if the student fails to achieve Good Standing while on Probation. The student must stay out of school for one semester or choose to remain in school with Restricted Enrollment status (see below). To return to school, the student must write a letter of appeal to the Office of Academic Affairs. When the student returns, the academic status of the student is Academic Warning and the Warning-Probation-Suspension process starts over. That is, the student will have two semesters at most to raise the GPA to the Required Minimum and return to Good Standing, or the student will be suspended again. The maximum number of suspensions allowed is two. At the third suspension, the student will be suspended from GSW for a minimum of one calendar year.

Normally a student will not be reinstated after the third suspension. The student may, however, appeal this dismissal by stating his/her case in writing to the Vice President for Academic Affairs. Appeals relative to dismissal after the third suspension will be considered on a case by case basis with no guarantee of readmission.

A student on Academic Suspension will not be allowed to register for courses offered by the University, unless the student has been granted Restricted Enrollment Status.

Courses taken at other institutions while a student is on Academic Suspension from Georgia Southwestern will not be accepted in transfer.

Students returning to GSW after the first suspension are required to enroll in ACSK 1100, Academic Skills, during the first term of re-enrollment.

Restricted Enrollment

As an alternative to suspension, a student may request from the Associate Dean for Academic Services to remain in school with Restricted Enrollment status. This status means that the student will stay in school but may enroll primarily in repeat courses and ACSK 1100, Academic Skills, in order to improve the student's GPA to return to Good Standing. Restricted Enrollment is the only alternative available to students who are on suspension.

Not returning to Good Standing by the end of the Restricted Enrollment term will result in an additional suspension for the student, and the student will remain out of school for a minimum of one semester. The student accepting this status will be advised by his/her assigned academic advisor. A Restricted Enrollment Agreement will be signed by the student, the advisor, and the Associate Dean for Academic Services before the student is allowed to register. A student on Restricted Enrollment may drop or add courses only with the approval of the Office of Academic Affairs.

The Restricted Enrollment status is not available to Learning Support students or transient students.

Readmission after Suspension

A student on Academic Suspension who wishes to be readmitted to the University must write a letter to the Vice President for Academic Affairs requesting readmission. The letter must include all facts which the student wishes considered. Each request for readmission will be considered individually, and nothing in this section should be interpreted to mean that readmission is automatic.

Readmission may be denied if, in the professional judgment of the Vice President for Academic Affairs, the student cannot perform satisfactory college level work.

Any student requesting readmission must complete a readmission form from the Registrar's Office. Students returning from the first suspension must take ACSK 1100, Academic Skills, during their first term of enrollment.

Learning Support Policies

A student who is taking one or more Learning Support courses will be given this status until the student exits all required Learning Support courses. The policies of the Board of Regents and the GSW Learning Support will have precedence over the policies of GSW concerning Academic Suspension. The Restricted Enrollment academic status is not applicable to Learning Support students.

ACADEMIC HONORS

President's List

During any semester, a student who completes a load of at least fifteen semester hours of credit and earns an average grade of 4.00 will be named to the President's List.

Dean's List

During any semester, a student who completes a load of at least fifteen semester hours of credit and earns an average grade of 3.50 through 3.99 will be named to the Dean's List.

Academic Achievement List

During any semester, a student is on the Academic Achievement List if he/she is in Academic Good Standing, has previously earned at least 15 hours of credit at Georgia Southwestern, is enrolled in 3 to 14 hours of credit, and earns a semester GPA of 3.5 or better.

GRADUATION WITH HONORS

In order to be eligible to graduate with honors from Georgia Southwestern State University, the following two requirements must be met:

A student must earn a total of at least 54 semester hours of academic credit at Georgia Southwestern State University.

The grade point average for honors will be determined by adding the points and hours from all work completed at all accredited colleges and universities to the graduating points and hours earned at GSW. The cumulative grade point average must fall into one of the following categories to be considered graduating with honors:

• Graduation cum laude requires a minimum grade point average of 3.50;
• Graduation magna cum laude requires a minimum grade point average of 3.70;
• Graduation summa cum laude requires a minimum grade point average of 3.90.

Only candidates for baccalaureate degrees are considered for academic honors at graduation.

FINAL EXAMINATIONS

A student who has three final examinations scheduled for the same day may request a change of date for one final through

the Office of Academic Affairs.

Times and dates for final examinations may not be changed to accommodate students' travel plans. Permission for a student to change his/her final exam time and/or date must be obtained from the Office of Academic Affairs. The final examination schedule is available in the on-line schedule of classes on RAIN.

RE-EXAMINATIONS FOR SENIORS

A senior preparing for graduation within two (2) semesters who earns a final grade of F or D in a course may have the opportunity of one re-examination in that course. After reviewing the eligibility requirements for re-examination with the instructor of the course (based on the conditions listed below), the student must request permission for the re-examination in writing from the Vice President for Academic Affairs. The instructor will be informed in writing whether permission has been granted. Conditions for re-examinations include the following:

1. The original course grade earned must not be the result of a violation of the Policy on Academic Integrity or the instructor's written policy on course attendance.
2. It must be mathematically possible to achieve the necessary passing grade in the course using the result of the re-examination.
3. The course must be a non-core course numbered 2000 or above which is necessary for graduation.
4. There must be no opportunity to repeat the course before the scheduled graduation.
5. Graded assignments for which a re-exam may occur include an examination, a project, a presentation, a paper, or another assignment as defined by course requirements. The assignment to be repeated will be determined by the instructor of the course.
6. A student cannot apply this re-examination policy in more than two courses.
7. The request for the re-examination must be made within thirty (30) days of the end of the term in which the grade was received.
8. Graduating seniors who fail the tests given by the Department of History and Political Science to meet the geography, U.S. history/Georgia history, and U.S. Constitution/Georgia Constitution requirements are entitled to a single retest in the deficient area during the term immediately preceding their graduation date. Retests are limited to two areas. Students in this situation should contact the secretary of the Department of History and Political Science.
9. According to the Board of Regents procedures, this policy does not apply to the Regents' Testing Program.

Undergraduate Enrollment in Graduate Courses

A student with senior standing at Georgia Southwestern State University with an overall academic grade point average of 3.0 or higher may register for graduate courses during the final two terms of undergraduate work subject to the following regulations.

1. No more than nine hours of graduate credit may be earned.
2. The maximum course load when enrolled in one or more graduate courses is 15 hours per semester.
3. Courses taken for graduate credit cannot be counted toward meeting undergraduate degree requirements.
4. Permission to register for graduate courses must be granted first by the Director of Graduate Studies and then by the Vice President for Academic Affairs prior to registration.

Permission forms are available in the Registrar's Office.

ATTENDANCE

Students are expected to attend all classes. If an absence is necessary, the student is responsible for reporting the reason to the instructor; in such cases, each instructor will take whatever action he or she deems necessary. Faculty members will make their absence policies clear to the students enrolled in their classes in writing and within the first week of the semester.

Penalties for excessive absences in each course are set at the beginning of each semester by the faculty member teaching that course. Students with excessive absences in a class may receive a grade of F for the course.

SCHEDULE ADJUSTMENTS

Adding or Dropping Courses

Following registration for the term, students may add or drop courses during the published add/drop period.

• Students must discuss adding or dropping courses with their advisors.
• Students who enter courses after the first day of class are responsible for making up missed assignments.
• Students may add or drop a Learning Support course only with the approval of the Dean of Academic Services. Students enrolled in both Learning Support classes and degree credit courses cannot drop the Learning Support courses without dropping the degree credit courses as well.
• Students may not drop a Regents' remediation course without the approval of the Registrar.

After the published add/drop period, students may adjust their schedules only by "withdrawal." (See below.)

Students registered for courses that have the first class meeting after the designated add/drop period will be subject to the withdrawal from class policy or the withdrawal from the university policy below. Any orientation session for online or off-campus courses is considered the first class meeting for the course.

Withdrawal from a Course

After the add/drop period, a student must officially withdraw from a course by completing the "Withdrawal from Class" form available on RAIN or in the Registrar's Office. This form must be returned to the Registrar's Office upon completion. The student is fully responsible for collecting the appropriate signatures and submitting the completed form to the Registrar's Office. The effective date of the withdrawal from class is entered as the received date by the Registrar's Office.

• Withdrawal from class without penalty requires the student to complete the Withdrawal from Class form and return it to the Registrar's Office by the published no-penalty date of one week after midterm. A student following this procedure will receive a grade of W (Withdrawn).
• Withdrawal from class without penalty will not be permitted after the published 'no penalty' date except for non-academic reasons. Documentation must be provided by the student to receive a W rather than a WF (Withdrawn Failing).
• Students with Learning Support requirements who are enrolled in both Learning Support courses and degree credit courses may not withdraw from the required Learning Support courses with a "W" unless they also withdraw from the degree credit courses.

All withdrawals from class must be approved and completely processed before the last day of classes. A student who does not officially withdraw from a class will receive a grade of F in that course for the term.

Withdrawal from the University

Students withdrawing from all classes and exiting the University after the first day of classes must meet with Gail Barksdale, First Year Advocate, located in Academic Skills, room 126, to initiate the official "Withdrawal from the University" process. The effective date of the withdrawal from the University is entered as the date from the Student Withdrawal from the University form.

• Withdrawal from the University prior to the no-penalty date of one week after midterm will result in grades of W (withdrawn) for all courses.
• Withdrawal from the University after the no-penalty date will result in grades of WF (withdrawn failing) except for documented non-academic reasons.

All withdrawals from the University must be approved and completely processed before the last day of classes. The student is fully responsible for supplying all pertinent documentation to the First Year Advocate.

Failure to withdraw from the University following the proper procedure will result in grades of F in all courses, and no refund will be given.

ADMINISTRATIVE WITHDRAWAL FROM A COURSE DURING THE FIRST WEEK OF CLASSES

Students registered for fall or spring semesters, who attend none of the class meetings during the first week of classes and do not inform the instructor of their intentions to remain in the course or do not drop the course within the published period, will be administratively withdrawn from the course. It is the responsibility of the faculty member to document such absences.

Instructors must take roll during the first week of classes, until they receive final rolls. The faculty member will inform the Registrar that the student is not attending classes by notation on the verification roll provided after the first week of class.

Students will be contacted in writing by the Registrar and informed that they will be administratively withdrawn if they do not contact that office by a specified date.

STUDENT ABSENCE POLICY FOR UNIVERSITY SANCTIONED EVENTS

Faculty members will set policies for absences from class and the effect absences may have on final grades. They will make their expectations concerning absences known to their students in writing during the first week of class.

However, a student who is absent from a class as a result of representing this institution at a University-sanctioned event will not be penalized for the absence. In these cases, the student will be given an opportunity to complete any work that may have been missed as a result of the absence. It is the student's responsibility to notify the instructor in advance of an anticipated absence.

For an event to be sanctioned by the University, approval by the Office of Academic Affairs must be obtained in advance of the event.

Any exceptions to this policy must be approved by the Vice President of Academic Affairs.

POLICY ON ACADEMIC INTEGRITY

Students at Georgia Southwestern State University are expected to conform to high standards of intellectual and academic integrity. The University assumes as a basic and minimum standard of conduct that students be honest and that they submit for credit only the product of their own efforts. Scholastic ideals and the need for fairness require that all dishonest work be rejected as a basis for academic credit. They also require that students refrain from all forms of dishonorable conduct in the course of their academic careers.

Dishonest work will be treated as a serious offense by the faculty and administration of Georgia Southwestern. Multiple infractions may be cause for permanent expulsion from the University. An instructor who receives dishonest work from a student has several options. At a minimum, the work should be rejected as a basis for academic credit. At the discretion of the instructor, the student may be given a score of zero on the assignment in question, may be required to rewrite the assignment, may be given a grade of F in the course, may not be recommended for admission to Teacher Education or the Nursing programs, or may be penalized in some intermediate way. A student found guilty of submitting dishonest work will have this information and the instructor's course of action placed on file in the Office of Academic Affairs so that if future instructors receive dishonest work from that same student, the student may be penalized by the institution, resulting in possible expulsion. Academic integrity violations may be placed on the student's academic transcript. In the event that a student is suspended from the University for violations of academic integrity, courses taken at other institutions while a student is on Academic Suspension from Georgia Southwestern will not be accepted in transfer.

Given the serious nature of infractions of this policy, students have a right to know what constitutes academic dishonesty and have a right to a fair and consistent procedure before severe penalties are imposed. The examples given below are intended to clarify the standards by which academic integrity is judged. They are meant to be illustrative and are not exhaustive. There may be cases which fall outside of these examples and which are deemed unacceptable by the academic community.

Definitions and Examples of Dishonest Behavior

Plagiarism

It is a violation of academic honesty to submit plagiarized work. Plagiarism includes, but is not limited to, asking someone to write part or all of an assignment, copying someone else's work (published or unpublished), inadequately documenting research, downloading material from electronic sources without appropriate documentation, or representing others' works or ideas as the student's own.

The student is responsible for understanding the legitimate and accurate use of sources, the appropriate ways of acknowledging and citing academic, scholarly or creative indebtedness, and the consequences of violating this responsibility.

Cheating on Examinations

It is a violation of academic integrity to cheat on an examination. Cheating on an examination includes, but is not limited to, giving or receiving unauthorized help before, during, or after an in-class or out-of-class examination. Examples of unauthorized help include using unauthorized notes during an examination, viewing another student's exam, and allowing another student to view one's exam.

Unauthorized Collaboration

It is a violation of academic honesty to submit for credit work, which is the result of unauthorized collaboration. It is also a violation to provide unauthorized collaboration. Unauthorized collaboration includes giving or receiving unauthorized help for work that is required to be the effort of a single student, such as the receiving or giving of unauthorized assistance in the preparation of any academic or clinical laboratory assignment.

Falsification

It is a violation of academic honesty to falsify information or misrepresent material in an academic work. This includes, but is not limited to, the falsification of citations of sources, the falsification of experimental or survey results, and the falsification of computer or other data.

Multiple Submissions

It is a violation of academic honesty to submit substantial portions of the same work for credit more than once without the explicit consent of the instructor(s) to whom the work is submitted for additional credit. If a work product is to be substantially revised or updated, the student must contact the instructor in advance to discuss necessary revisions. The faculty member may require a copy of the original document for comparison purposes.

Obligations to Report Suspected Violations

Members of the academic community (students, faculty, administration, and staff) are expected to report suspected violations of these standards of academic conduct to the appropriate authority: the instructor, department chair, academic dean, or Vice President for Academic Affairs.

Evidence and Burden of Proof

In determining whether or not academic dishonesty has occurred, the standard which should be used is that guilt must be proven by the instructor with a preponderance of evidence. That is, it should appear to a reasonable and impartial mind that it is more likely than not that academic dishonesty has occurred.

Procedures for Resolving Matters of Academic Dishonesty

When an instructor believes that academic dishonesty has occurred, the instructor will inform the student that academic dishonesty is believed to have taken place. The instructor will explain to the student what the penalties will be should the guilt be proven by a preponderance of evidence. If the student maintains that academic dishonesty did not take place, the student should discuss the matter with the instructor and present evidence (if possible) demonstrating that the work was done in an honest manner. Should the instructor and student not resolve the matter, then they will bring the matter to the Department Chair. If the matter is not resolved at this level, then the matter will be brought to the Academic Dean. If the matter is still unresolved, it will be brought to the Vice President of Academic Affairs. The decision of the Vice President may be appealed to the President, who would then refer it to the Committee on Academic Grievance for its recommendation before rendering a decision. The President's decision is final and binding.

REGENTS' TESTING PROGRAM

Georgia Southwestern State University and all units of the University System of Georgia participate in the Regents' Testing Program. The policy of the Board of Regents concerning this examination of reading and writing competency is as follows:

An examination (the Regents' Test) to assess the competency level in reading and writing of all students enrolled in undergraduate degree programs leading to the baccalaureate degree in University System institutions shall be administered. The following statement shall be the policy of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia on this examination.

The formulation and administration of the Regents' Test shall be as determined by the Chancellor.

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 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 System-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.

Students enrolled in undergraduate degree programs leading to the baccalaureate degree shall pass the Regents' Test as a requirement for graduation. Students must take the test in their first semester of enrollment after earning 30 credit hours if they have not taken it previously. (Institutions may not prohibit students who have earned at least 30 credit hours from taking the test for the first time.) At an institution's discretion, students may be permitted to take the test during a semester in which they are not enrolled.

Each institution shall provide an appropriate program of remediation and shall require students who have not passed both parts of the test by the time they have earned 45 credit hours to take the appropriate remedial course or courses each semester of enrollment until they have passed both parts.

Students with 30 or more semester credit hours transferring from outside of the University System of Georgia or from a University System program that does not require the Regents' Test should take the test during their first semester of enrollment in a program leading to the baccalaureate degree. Those who have not passed before their third semester of enrollment are subject to the remediation requirement.

A student holding a baccalaureate or higher degree from a regionally accredited institution of higher education will not be required to complete the Regents' Test in order to receive a degree from a University System institution.

REGENTS' TEST EXEMPTIONS

Upon admission to GSW, students with the appropriate minimum test scores listed below on nationally administered standardized tests will have satisfied the Regents Testing requirements.

In order to exempt the Regents' Reading Test Requirement, students must have one of the following scores:

• S.A.T. Verbal score of 510 or greater
• A.C.T. Reading score of 23 or greater

In order to exempt the Regents' Essay Test Requirement, students must have one of the following scores:

• Advanced Placement English score of 3 or greater
• International Baccalaureate higher-level English score of 4 or greater
• S.A.T. II English Writing score of 650 or greater
• S.A.T. Verbal score of 530 or greater and an earned grade of "A" in English 1101
• S.A.T. Verbal score of 590 or greater and an earned grade of "B" in English 1101
• A.C.T. English score of 23 or greater and an earned grade of "A" in English 1101
• A.C.T. English score of 26 or greater and an earned grade of "B" in English 1101

Students are not permitted to re-test after the point of admission. If a student exempts one part of the Regents Test Requirements, the student must satisfy the remaining part. Students can review their status on the GSW transcript that is available on RAIN. Students who were admitted to GSW through an Institutional administration of the S.A.T. exam will not be eligible for this exemption.

If a student is unsure of which test administration they attended, they should contact the Registrar's Office, located in Sanford Hall.

Transfer students entering GSW from a University System of Georgia Institution will have their Regents' Test Requirements updated based on the information from the official transcript of the prior school.

Transfer students from private institutions or out-of-state schools will be required to produce one of the following types of documents in order to exempt Regents:

• Official S.A.T. or A.C.T. scores
• Official letter from the Registrar of the prior institution, including the school seal, verifying test scores were from a nationally administered test.

GEORGIA SOUTHWESTERN STATE UNIVERSITY POLICY FOR THE REGENTS' TESTING PROGRAM

1. Students who have earned 30 or fewer hours may attempt both sections of the Regents' Test. Students are encouraged to complete ENGL 1101 and ENGL 1102 early in their college curriculum and to attempt the Regents' Test as soon as possible.
2. Unless the requirement has been met previously, it is mandatory for students who have earned between 30 and 44 credits to attempt the section(s) of the test not completed the next time it is offered.
3. Students who have earned 45 or more credit hours and have not passed both sections of the test are required to schedule remediation each semester for the section(s) not passed. Students who are in this category but do not register for the appropriate remedial course(s) or do not successfully complete the course will not be allowed to test that term. When either the essay or reading section is passed, the students' records are updated accordingly and remediation for that section is no longer required.
4. Students transferring into Georgia Southwestern State University from within the University System who have credit for ENGL1101 and ENGL1102 should attempt the Regents' Test during their first term of enrollment at GSW. Those students within the University System who have 30 or more credits transferred must attempt the Regents' Test during their first term of attendance.
5. Students transferring into Georgia Southwestern State University with 30 or more credits from outside the University System or from a System program that does not require the Regents' Test will have two semesters to complete the requirements, after which time remediation will be required until both sections of the Regents' Test are passed. All transfer students in this category are urged to take the Regents' Test during their first term of enrollment at GSW.
6. Permission to attend another institution as a transient student will neither be authorized nor recognized if the transient term does not include Regents' remediation classes that would be required by Georgia Southwestern State University. Any exceptions to this procedure must be approved by the Regents' Testing Program Coordinator in the Registrar's Office prior to the transient term. Students desiring to attempt the Regents' Test on another campus while in transient status must obtain written permission from the Regents' Testing Program Coordinator in the Registrar's Office prior to taking the test.
7. Students who have been classified as non-native speakers of the English language by the Regents' Testing Program Coordinator are required to pass the alternative version of the Regents' Test.
8. The Regents' Test is a University System requirement. It is the student's responsibility to plan for the Regents' Test Program; to sign-up for the test; to take the test; to follow procedures outlined above for remediation and retesting if either section of the test is failed; and to enroll for only remediation classes after reaching 100 semester credit hours if either or both sections of the test have not been passed.

Special Categories of Students

A student holding a baccalaureate or higher degree from a regionally accredited institution of higher education will not be required to pass RGTR 0198 or RGTE 0199 in order to receive a degree from Georgia Southwestern State University.

Students whose native language is not English are given an alternative essay test and follow special institutional procedures. Under the special procedures, students are allowed extended time and may use a translation dictionary that they supply themselves. The essay test is locally developed and uses topics not requiring knowledge specific to American culture. The essays are reviewed locally by three raters selected from Georgia Southwestern State University faculty who use scoring procedures comparable to those used for the standard test.

All other procedures for the Regents' Writing and Reading Skills requirements apply to this group of students.

Georgia Southwestern State University follows the approved procedures for special administration of the Regents' Test for students with test anxiety, learning disabilities, or other documented needs. In most cases, students with visual, hearing, or motor impairment take the Regents' Test with appropriate accommodations based on the students' needs. If any accommodations in the test administration are to be made because the student has a disability, the student must contact the Office of Student Support Services or the Regents' Testing Program Coordinator, in the Registrar's Office, as early in the semester as possible to discuss necessary arrangements.

The Regents' Writing and Reading Skills course may not be waived for students with disabilities. However, appropriate accommodations will be provided.

Students who live out of state may be permitted to have the Regents' Test administered out of state if they have fulfilled course requirements and follow procedures outlined in the Regents' Testing Administration Manual.

Essay Review

A student may request a formal review of his or her 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. The review process is as follows:

• A student must initiate the review procedure with the English and Modern Languages Department by mid-term of his/her first semester of enrollment after the semester in which the essay was failed. If a student does not maintain continuous enrollment, the review must be initiated within one calendar year of the semester in which the essay was failed.
• Students who have requested that their Regents' essay be reviewed are required to enroll in the Regents' writing skills course if they have earned 45 credit hours or more.
• A panel of three faculty members designated by the institution will conduct the on-campus review. 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 student will be notified concerning the results of the on-campus review. A decision by the on-campus review panel to terminate the review process is final.
• If the on-campus panel recommends re-scoring of the essay, that recommendation will be transmitted in writing, along with the original essay, to the office of the System Director of the Regents' Testing Program. The Director will utilize the services of three experienced Regents' essay scorers other than those involved in the original scoring of the essay to review the essay, following normal scoring procedures for the essay component of the Regents' Test. The decision of the panel on the merits of the essay will be final, thus terminating the review process. The student will be notified through the institution concerning the results of the review.

RAIN (Registration and Academic Information Network)

The Registration and Academic Information Network (RAIN) allows students to access their academic and financial records on-line. Students can view holds, midterm grades, final grades, academic transcripts, registration status, class schedules, curriculum sheets, as well as their Financial Aid status, Account Summaries and Fee Assessments. RAIN provides a convenient method for students and faculty to obtain information via the web. It is a secured site which is continually expanding to provide 24 hour access to all students. Information is routinely added to RAIN, including term-specific notices and deadlines. Students must access RAIN to receive grades for all courses since grade mailers are no longer produced. Instructions for access to RAIN can be found at www.gsw.edu or in the Registrar's Office.

6. A maximum of 10 semester hours may be transferred from an accredited institution to meet these requirements.

PHYSICAL EDUCATION

All baccalaureate students are required to take PEDS 1010, PEDS 2000 and one activity course from the PEDS activity courses. A student who fails the swimming proficiency exam in PEDS 1010 must enroll in PEDS 1100 (Beginning Swimming) to complete the physical education requirements. Students should complete all the requirements during their first two years of enrollment. A transfer student who has completed a transferable Associate of Arts or an Associate of Science degree will not be required to fulfill the physical education requirements.

Exceptions are granted to veterans with at least one year of active duty reservists with at least one year of service, students barred by a physician's recommendation, and students entering the B.S. Nursing Program. There is no requirement for veterans with at least one year of active duty or for reservists with at least one year of service. Veterans and reservists must present documentation to the Registrar's Office in the form of a DD214 in order to be awarded the P.E. exemption. Students barred by a physician's recommendation are required to complete PEDS 2000 and HPER 2040. For graduation, all B.S. Nursing Program students are required to have credit for PEDS 1010, Lifetime Fitness and meet the swim requirement by passing the swim exam in Lifetime Fitness.

P.E. courses taken at another institution and showing on the student's transcript will count toward this course requirement.

Any exception to this policy must be approved by the Vice President for Academic Affairs or the Associate Dean for Academic Services.

Students in Associate in Applied Science programs in cooperation with approved technical colleges are not required to take courses in physical education. However, they must complete all physical education requirements if they pursue any other degree.

Students participating in intercollegiate athletics may receive credit for physical education for that semester in which they participate, but they must be carried on the appropriate class roll.

GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS

Catalog for Graduation Evaluation

Under the guidance of the academic advisor, a student may select to be evaluated for graduation from any catalog in effect during the time of enrollment provided the enrollment has been continuous.

Students readmitted or reinstated will be evaluated for graduation from the catalog in effect at the time of readmission or reinstatement or any catalog in effect during subsequent periods of continuous enrollment.

Students changing majors will be evaluated for graduation from the catalog in effect at the time of the change or any catalog in effect during subsequent periods of continuous enrollment.

Each student is responsible for determining the appropriate catalog to be used for academic advisement and for evaluation of graduation requirements. Catalog selection applies only to the course requirements of that catalog. All other academic procedures and graduation requirements must be satisfied according to regulations in effect at the time of graduation. Students desiring further information on the selection of an appropriate catalog may contact their major department chair/academic dean or the Registrar.

Application for Graduation- Undergraduate Students

The Application for Graduation for fall semester must be completed on or before December 1 prior to the academic year in which the degree is expected. The Application for Graduation for spring semester must be completed on or before May 1 prior to the academic year in which the degree is expected. Students who plan to graduate at completion of summer term must apply on or before September 1 prior to the year in which the degree is expected. Applications for graduation are available at the Registrar's Office and on RAIN (Registration and Academic Information Network).

ORIENTATION

Georgia Southwestern State University requires a one credit hour orientation course (UNIV 1000) of all new, full-time freshmen. New entering transfer students with less than nine hours of transfer credit must also enroll in UNIV 1000. This highly structured freshman orientation/advisement program has been instituted at Georgia Southwestern State University to facilitate the new student's transition to college-level work.

UNIVERSITY SYSTEM OF GEORGIA CORE CURRICULUM

The Core Curriculum of the University System of Georgia was established for the general purpose of aiding and facilitating the educational progress of students as they pursue baccalaureate degrees within and among the units of the University System. It represents an effort to deal effectively with increasing curricular problems of students which result from increased enrollment at institutions of higher education, increased number and percentage of students enrolled in two-year institutions, increased mobility of the student population, increased number and complexity of major fields of studies offered by senior units, and increased problems related to transfer of credit among units of the University System.

The Core Curriculum provides for (1) sixty semester credit hours of which forty-two are in general education and eighteen are in a major area of study, (2) the assurance of acceptance of transfer of the Core Curriculum or a fractional part thereof toward a baccalaureate degree, and (3) the preservation of the maximum possible amount of institutional autonomy.

The Core Curriculum provides the following six areas of study:

GEORGIA SOUTHWESTERN STATE UNIVERSITY CORE REQUIREMENTS

The specific courses which must be completed by all students working toward the baccalaureate degree are listed below. These courses are begun in the first semester of college enrollment and should be completed during the first two years. In certain programs or for transfer students, some substitutions in the core are accepted. Student should contact the appropriate academic dean or department chair for details.

A student transferring to GSW with a transferable Associate of Arts or Associate of Science degree from a college or university within the University System of Georgia will have met the GSW core requirements as long as the student does not change majors. Core courses required by GSW but not by the student's previous institution might have to be taken to prepare the student for upper division course work. However, the student will not be required to complete more than a total of 120 semester credit hours, excluding physical education and orientation, to earn the degree. Students in this category who change majors may have additional core courses to complete, particularly in Core Areas D and F.

A student transferring to GSW with an Associate of Applied Science or an Associate of Science in Nursing degree from a college or university within the University System of Georgia will be required to meet GSW core requirements. Core courses already completed at the previous institution will be considered on a course-by-course basis.

UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAMS OF STUDY

Georgia Southwestern State University encourages the development of character through intellectual inquiry and examination of personal and professional values. Central to Georgia Southwestern's curricula is a general education experience which aims toward acquainting students with the intellectual heritage of mankind.

Georgia Southwestern State University faculty have affirmed that every student of this institution shall participate in learning experiences which will enable the graduate to

• think abstractly, analytically, and creatively;
• understand the nature of the scientific world and the impact of science and technology on the world:
• demonstrate competencies in reading, writing, speaking, and listening;
• understand people as social beings from both an historical and international perspective;
• demonstrate the ability to clarify his or her own values and understand those of other individuals and societies;
• appreciate the fine arts;
• demonstrate competencies in the use of information technology;
• understand the importance of sound physical and mental health habits;
• demonstrate an understanding that learning is a life-long process.

A major portion of this common body of knowledge is addressed in the core curriculum, an array of courses intended for completion during the first two years of college studies. Academic work in the junior and senior years is directed toward the mastery of a particular field of study.

Selection of a major field obviously depends upon the student's interests and vocational plans. The purpose of a college education, however, is not solely to provide vocational instruction, even though it lays the best foundation for the student's future vocation, but to assist the student in fulfilling responsibilities as a citizen and to develop into a cultivated and versatile individual. Regardless of vocational plans or preferred curriculum, the collegiate experience at Georgia Southwestern State University includes general education which provides each graduate with the breadth of knowledge necessary to become a productive citizen.

ASSESSMENT OF ACADEMIC PROGRAMS

To assess and improve academic programs, Georgia Southwestern State University conducts periodic studies of student achievement and satisfaction. Participation in assessment activities is expected of all students, although every student may not be selected for participation in every activity. The information obtained from these activities is used by the University to improve the quality of programs in order to better serve students.

BACCALAUREATE DEGREE PROGRAMS

The University offers programs leading toward the Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Fine Arts, Bachelor of Business Administration, Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Science in Nursing, Bachelor of Science in Education, and Bachelor of Applied Science degrees. Majors are available in the areas as follows:

Bachelor of Arts: Art, Dramatic Arts, English, History, Music, Political Science, Psychology.

Bachelor of Business Administration: Accounting, Management, Human Resources Management, and Marketing.

Bachelor of Fine Arts: Art.

Bachelor of Science: Biology, Chemistry, Computer Information Systems, Computer Science, Geology, History, Mathematics, Mathematics with Industrial Mathematics concentration, Political Science, Psychology, Sociology.

Bachelor of Science in Nursing

Bachelor of Science in Education: Early Childhood Education, Exercise Science/Wellness, Health and Physical Education, Middle Grades Education, Recreation.

Bachelor's Degree with Teaching Certification: English, History, Mathematics.

Bachelor of Applied Science: Technology Management.

Most bachelor's degree programs consist of a major and additional study in at least one other field of special interest. Students should determine their major fields of study prior to the fourth semester of university enrollment. Transfer students with advanced standing should determine their majors before scheduling classes.

The selection of a major should be made in consultation with the faculty advisor and the dean of the academic school which offers the major. A change of the student's major field of study must be registered with the Office of the Registrar.

DUAL DEGREE PROGRAM IN ENGINEERING

Georgia Southwestern State University and Georgia Institute of Technology offer a dual degree program in all disciplines of engineering offered at Georgia Tech. The dual degree student enrolls at Georgia Southwestern State University for approximately three years. Upon acceptance to Georgia Tech, the student then enrolls there for approximately two years. When all degree requirements have been met, the student earns a bachelor's degree in science or mathematics from Georgia Southwestern and a bachelor's degree from Georgia Tech.

PRE-PROFESSIONAL PROGRAMS

Students who plan to seek admission to professional schools may elect to follow appropriate pre-professional curricula. Pre-professional programs frequently chosen by students include dentistry, law, pharmacy, medicine, veterinary medicine, and many of the allied health sciences.

It is desirable that the student follows the prescribed curriculum of the professional school in which he or she intends to enroll. Students electing the professional goals of medicine, dentistry, veterinary, or pharmacy will probably enroll in a baccalaureate program with a major in either biology or chemistry. Students who plan to follow a legal career should consult with the pre-law advisor in the Department of History and Political Science (see pre-law listing in index). Students in the above listed programs should consult with the appropriate advisor early in the freshman year.

Students electing to enter professional schools in various programs of the allied health sciences will generally complete two to four years on this campus and then transfer to a program offered at such schools as the Medical College of Georgia, Georgia State University, North Georgia College and State University, Armstrong Atlantic State University, or Columbus State University. Such allied health programs include medical technology, physical therapy, physician assistants, and occupational therapy. Students must make application to the professional program and be accepted by the school offering the program. It is important that the student be competitive and meets the admissions requirements. The student should contact the institution offering the professional program for information on admission requirements early in the freshman year.

GSW INTERN PROGRAMS

Georgia Southwestern State University is a participant in several intern programs including the Georgia Intern Program and the Legislative Intern Program. Students may receive a maximum of twelve semester hours toward their degree for work as interns in public and non-profit agencies. Students from all academic areas are eligible for the program. Courses for which academic credit is to be awarded must be approved in advance by the dean of the school or chair of the department offering the courses and the Campus Coordinator of the program. Course numbers 4920-4930 in each discipline are reserved for Intern Program credit. Interested students should contact the Campus Coordinator of the GSW Intern Program in the Department of History and Political Science for additional information.

GENERAL EDUCATION CURRICULUM

Students who have not decided on a particular program of study will be assigned to a General Education advisor. It is recommended that students follow the General Core Curriculum outlined in this bulletin. Unless the student has determined the major field of study prior to the fourth semester of enrollment, it is likely that financial aid will be discontinued.

CERTIFICATE PROGRAMS

Georgia Southwestern State University offers certificate programs in the following areas: English as a Second Language, European Union Studies, Latin American Studies, Religious Studies, Web Design, and Women's Studies.

ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE

International students may earn a Certificate of Completion, depending on their levels of comprehension and fluency, in as little as one semester or as long as one year. The program at GSW's English Language Institute (ELI) is based on twenty hours of class a week for four levels of language instructions: Basic, Intermediate, Advanced, and Bridge. There is no minimum TOEFL requirement for admission. Students who place in higher levels can receive credit for lower level classes. The Certificate of Completion will entitle a student to enter GSW as a full time academic student even if he/she has less than the required 523/193 TOEFL score.

After one semester, students in advanced levels can earn a Limited Certificate, which will allow him/her to take one or two academic classes at GSW. High intermediate or advanced students can earn a Listeners Certificate, which will allow the student to sit in a regular academic class to practice listening with no extra tuition charge.

The Certificate of Completion can be expanded for special groups of students who are studying English for specific purposes by adding on two or more classes in the special interest area e.g. nursing. These expansions can be custom designed for the group.

CURRICULUM SHEET (Standard Level) (Advanced Level)

EUROPEAN UNION STUDIES CERTIFICATE

The certificate in European Union Studies is a collaborative effort of University System of Georgia institutions. The program is open to all institutions and students of the University System, including students of Georgia Southwestern State University, as well as to professionals with an undergraduate degree. The program's purpose is to promote knowledge of the European Union (EU) and certify individuals as competent in the subject area of EU studies. Since the EU is one of the most important economic and political partners of the United States, this certification demonstrates valuable professional expertise to potential employers. For students in the academic track, the interdisciplinary certificate can be earned as a supplement to any conventional undergraduate degree.

Admission requirements

A certificate in European Union Studies can be earned in two ways. Under the academic track, a certificate is taken as part of an undergraduate degree program. Students from all academic majors are eligible to participate so long as they possess a minimum 2.75 cumulative Grade Point Average (GPA). Under the professional track, non-degree students - such as business executives - are eligible to enroll in the program upon proof of a valid undergraduate degree from an accredited institution. The minimum GPA requirement is waived.

Under either track, an application to the program cannot be made until successful completion of the following:

1. the introductory course on the European Union (POLS 3200) with a grade of C or better
2. 30 semester hours of earned academic credit
3. completion of HIST 1111 or 1112 (World or Western Civilization)

To earn the EU Studies certificate, students must complete the certificate curriculum (18 hours) and fulfill the practicum experience requirement. Students must have a 3.0 cumulative GPA in curriculum courses upon completion of the program. An official certificate is awarded upon graduation, and the certificate is noted on the student's permanent transcripts. Students should refer to the European Union Studies curriculum sheet for individual course requirements.

Practicum experience

Since it is deemed crucial that students demonstrate more than an academic knowledge of the European Union to be certified as adequately prepared in the subject, a "real-life" practicum experience pertaining to the EU must be performed either in the form of an overseas visit or an internship. The overseas option is broadly defined and can be accommodated by a wide range of activities, including study or research abroad. The same flexibility applies to the internship, which can be served domestically or internationally. A student's specific practicum experience must be approved by the program's campus representative.

On-line courses and Transatlantic Joint Certificate

The EU Studies program has developed a curriculum of online courses in conjunction with European university partners. These are courses in different discipline areas that deal with various aspects of the EU and are taught jointly by University System institutions and European universities at specified times throughout the academic year. The program's campus representative maintains an updated list of these courses and a teaching schedule, as well as information about course registration.

The EU Studies program offers the option of acquiring a certificate that is jointly conferred with a European institution. This option requires students to complete - with a grade of B or better - a minimum of two online courses that are co-taught with European partner universities. Students completing this option have the EU Studies certificate awarded by both their home institution and one in Europe, thus giving them an academic credential from a respected European university.

Areas of Distinction

In addition to acknowledging competence in the EU generally, the certificate also highlights special achievements by providing a notation of "distinction" in two areas:

• Foreign language proficiency (6 semester hours at or above the 2000 level)
• Composition of a thesis

The foreign language distinction must be earned in a European language approved by the program's campus representative as appropriate to the certificate's objectives. A student with prior language skills can earn a distinction by successful completion of an examination demonstrating competence equivalent to the 2000 level. The exam is administered at the student's home institution.

The thesis can be written anytime during the final year of study. It is supervised by a committee composed of three faculty members representing at least two different academic disciplines. The program's campus representative maintains a more detailed description of thesis requirements.

LATIN AMERICAN STUDIES CERTIFICATE

The undergraduate Certificate in Latin American Studies (CLAS) recognizes a student's knowledge and understanding of a region of growing importance, both economically and culturally. The course of study is designed to be interdisciplinary and complementary to existing undergraduate programs. Those who satisfy the certificate requirements of their B.A. or B.S. will be awarded a Certificate in Latin American Studies. This will be noted in the student's placement materials.

The Certificate in Latin American Studies is designed to provide an interdisciplinary, coherent unit of study which "certifies" competency in a subject area outside the traditional major. The CLAS is not designed to compete with existing programs. It offers an opportunity for University System of Georgia students to pursue an area of specialization which may not be offered by departmental curricula or may be unmet in conventional majors.

Admission Requirements

1. The certificate in Latin American Studies must be taken with a formal degree program. Course work may be undertaken at two-year institutions but must be completed at a four-year university.
2. Students must have a minimum grade point average of 2.8 on a scale of 4.0.
3. Students must have earned 30 semesters hours of academic credit at a four-year institution OR
4. 15 semester hours of academic credit at a two-year institution.
   One three-hour interdisciplinary course which focuses on contemporary Latin America OR
   A three-hour course on Latin American Culture and Civilization OR
   A CD-Module based course on Latin America OR
   A web-based or GSAMS course on Latin America with a grade of "C" or better.

Honors Option

A student may receive an Honors Certificate in Latin American Studies if he or she maintains an overall GPA of 2.8 and a GPA of 3.5 in his/her CLAS courses. The student must also submit a Senior Honors paper on a Latin American topic to a faculty member in that field. The paper must receive a minimum grade of B+.

Minor Option

Each institution of the University System of Georgia will determine if the CLAS may serve as a minor, with or without additional requirements.

RELIGIOUS STUDIES CERTIFICATE

The certificate in Religious Studies Program is an interdisciplinary, multidisciplinary effort that seeks to broaden the student's understanding of and appreciation for religion both as historical and cultural phenomenon.

Admission to the Religious Studies Program must be approved by the Religious Studies Program Coordinator. Students must complete at least 12 semester hours in courses numbered 3000 or above. A minimum grade of "C" is required in all course work counted towards the certificate.

WEB DESIGN CERTIFICATE

The certificate in Web Design is an interdisciplinary program that provides the student with expertise in a high demand area. The student will be competent at designing Web sites and will have both artistic and technical skills.

Click HERE for Curriculum Sheet.

WOMEN'S STUDIES CERTIFICATE

Women's Studies is a multi-disciplinary approach to the understanding and analysis of women's history and culture. The program seeks to help students recognize and understand how their lives have been culturally constructed by notions of gender, ethnicity, sexuality, and class. An added benefit of having the Women's Studies Certificate is that prospective employers and graduate schools will appreciate the added dimension of inter-disciplinary work that goes beyond the basic degree requirements. This certificate is complementary to existing undergraduate programs.

At GSW, over fifty percent of the student body are women, many of whom are first generation college students. These students need to understand their history. The Women's Studies program seeks to redress the neglect in many disciplines of the significant contributions of women. In doing so, we hope to challenge the status quo, giving students new ways to perceive themselves, thereby empowering them to be confident, political beings.

An eighteen-hour course of study, the Women's Studies Certificate combines course offerings, seminars, and internships.

THE CENTER FOR ASIAN STUDIES

Dr. Don Chang Lee, Director

Our Purpose
The Center for Asian Studies (CAS) was begun in 1988 to promote Asian language and culture programs for Georgia schools and businesses. In 1989, CAS expanded its purpose to promote cross-cultural understanding in the community, on campus, and in business environments through outreach programs and exchanges with Asian Institutions. Also in 1989, CAS established the English Language Institute (ELI) to focus on Teaching English as a Second Language (ESL).

Our Programs
In The Japanese Language Teacher Training Program (JLTTP), sponsored in cooperation with a Japanese intercultural exchange organization, the participants come to GSW to learn how to teach their native language as a foreign language in American schools. The participants are graduate students who teach Japanese at American colleges and universities or they are Japanese language instructors at elementary and secondary schools in America.

The English Language Institute (ELI) brings many students from foreign countries, mainly Asia, to GSW to study English prior to becoming regular students at GSW, other institutions in Georgia, or in other states. In addition GSW receives students who study English for other specific purposes: Nurses, English teachers, Japanese and Korean businessmen, government officials, and professors study English to learn American culture, society, and business practices and for professional enrichment.

Cross-Cultural Outreach
The Center for Asian Studies assists students who want to study abroad in an Asian country and international students at GSW who need counsel or advice. CAS conducts seminars and conferences for the business community to have a better insight into Asian culture and its importance in doing business with Asian people. The Center also provides services to schoolteachers to provide a better understanding of Asian culture and the behavior patterns of Asian children and to share the Asian culture with American children. The Center makes arrangements to establish exchange relationships with Asian educational institutions.

UNIVERSITY HONORS PROGRAM

The University Honors Program (UHP) at GSW offers exceptionally talented and motivated students an enriched environment for learning. Among its objectives, the UHP aims to promote life-long learning, to assist and guide students interested in graduate studies, and to encourage a studies abroad experience. The UHP also attempts to enhance and challenge the education of regularly enrolled students-by contact with honors students-as well as by the experience of participating faculty.

Admission: First-year students are admitted to the UHP by invitation. The Honors Program Committee will extend invitations to students based upon their SAT scores, high school GPA and rank in class, and recommendations where available. Transfer students, international students and students already at GSW may seek admission with a 3.4 GPA and referral by a faculty member. Rolling admissions apply.

The types of honors courses include 1) honors enrichment of a regular course with non-honors students enrolled; 2) special honors seminars; and 3) honors assistantships.

Participation Requirements: The UHP requires honors students to take at least two honors courses each year and maintain a minimum 3.2 overall GPA. Honors students who maintain a 3.5 or higher GPA in honors courses and a 3.5 or higher GPA over their last 60 hours and complete an honors senior thesis project will receive the distinction of "University Honors Scholar" at commencement. Other requirements include:

1. ENRICHED CORE COURSES: Students must take at least one enriched core course from each of the following areas:
• Humanities (English or Fine Arts)
• Social Sciences (History, Political Science, Economics, Sociology, Psychology, Anthropology)
• Math/Science (Algebra, Pre-Calculus, Calculus, Biology, Chemistry, Geology, Physics)
2. ENRICHED MAJOR AREA COURSES: Students must take at least two enriched courses in their major for honors credit. (The same course cannot be counted in the enriched core courses section.)
3. HONORS SEMINARS: Students must take at least four one-hour seminars; two seminars per year will be offered.
4. SENIOR PROJECT/THESIS: The product of a senior honors seminar, this will include a written abstract of the work and an oral presentation.
5. STUDY ABROAD: The UHP will encourage students and assist students in seeking financial aid for summer and regular terms abroad.
6. SERVICE LEARNING PROJECT: Students must participate in a service activity a minimum of six hours per semester for six semesters.

LEARNING SUPPORT PROGRAM

Placement in Learning Support

Students are required to take courses in Learning Support based on the following criteria:

1. The Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) or American Collegiate Test (ACT) Scores:
   Students whose SAT Verbal score is below 430 (ACT English 17) or SAT Math score is below 400 (ACT Math 17) are required to undergo further testing. Before registration for the first semester of enrollment, these students must take the Compass Placement Examination (CPE) in the appropriate area(s) of English composition, mathematics, and reading, as determined by their SAT or ACT scores. This examination is specifically designated to determine any deficiencies in these three content areas.
   
   The Compass Placement Examination (CPE) Scores:
   Traditional and non-traditional students who are admitted to GSW as beginning freshmen with at least one SAT or ACT score below the acceptable minimum will take the COMPASS Placement Test before enrollment in the deficient area or areas only. That is, students who present SAT-Math scores of less than 400 or ACT-Math scores of less than 17 will take the COMPASS Test for initial placement into Learning Support mathematics. Students with SAT-Verbal scores below 430 or ACT-English scores below 17 will test for initial placement in Learning Support English and reading.
   
   Non-traditional students who do not present SAT or ACT scores will test in all three areas for possible placement.
   
   Admitted transfer students who do not present minimum SAT or ACT scores in at least one area and have less than 30 semester hours of transferable credit will be required to test according to the above policy. However, students in this category who transfer credit for core-level mathematics or English will not have to take the corresponding section of the COMPASS Placement Test even if the SAT or ACT scores in that area are deficient.
   
   Students who test but do not enroll within a year of testing must retest in all areas on the COMPASS Test.
   
   New students may not be retested with COMPASS for initial placement in Learning Support Courses.
   
   Returning students may be retested under the following conditions:
1. Students have been out of school five years or more (retest in all areas for placement, not exit).
2. Students have BSE or CPE scores.
3. Students who have not taken any college-level work in three years may be retested with COMPASS in any unsatisfied area and readmitted without a Learning Support requirement if they meet the institutional criteria for exemption. Students who do not exempt on the retest may be considered for readmission.
   
2. Students with Non-Traditional Status or Students Pursuing the AAS Degree:
   Students who are admitted with the "Non-Traditional" or AAS Degree status are required to take the CPE for the possible placement in Learning Support courses unless they provide adequate SAT or ACT scores upon admission. If they score below the cut-off in any one of the three areas (English composition, mathematics, and reading), they are required to enroll in Learning Support courses for instruction in that particular area(s).
   
3. International students:
   Students whose native language is not English are required to take the CPE in mathematics.
    
4. Students who are determined by the institution to need academic assistance even though they are eligible to be admitted without Learning Support requirements under System Policy:
   Such students may be required to participate in Learning Support courses or other program components to enhance their chances for success in Core Curriculum courses. A student who is eligible to enroll in a Core Curriculum course but fails the course could also be required to take a Learning Support course before or while retaking the Core Curriculum course.

Enrollment in Learning Support

1. Courses and Credit:
   Depending on the scores on the CPE, students may be required to register for one, two or three Learning Support courses. Further, they must enroll in the required courses initially and then each following semester until they meet the requirements of each course and exit. The students must demonstrate proficiency in the skill (course content) before they will be allowed to register for courses giving academic credit in that area. Furthermore, students in one or more Learning Support courses are not eligible to register in courses having a Learning Support prerequisite:
   
   
   1. Students with required Learning Support placement must exist or exempt Learning Support Reading as a prerequisite for Social, Natural, and Physical science courses and college-level mathematics.
   2. Students with required Learning Support placement must exit or exempt Learning Support English and Reading as prerequisites for university-level English.
   3. Students with required Learning Support placement must exit or exempt Learning Support mathematics as a prerequisite for Physics and Chemistry (any science course with a prerequisite of university-level mathematics, physics, chemistry, and any science with a prerequisiste of university-level mathematics).
   
   However, students may enroll for regular university-level courses other than those requiring the Learning Support courses as prerequisites.
   
   Learning Support courses in English, reading, and mathematics carry four (4) hours of institutional credit. This credit is not applicable toward a degree; it is not academic credit. However, it is credit that classifies the students as full-time or part-time (depending on the number of courses taken) and makes the students eligible to receive financial aid and to participate in extra-curricular activities, including varsity sports.
   
   In addition to courses in English, reading, and mathematics, students with Learning Support requirements must enroll in UNIV 1000, an orientation/introduction to the university, which is a course required of all incoming students. This is a one-semester course and carries one (1) hour of academic credit. The students must pass this course in order to meet the Learning Support exit requirements. The only exceptions include part-time students and transfer students with fifteen or more hours.
   
   
2. Other enrollment requirements:
   
   Once the students are assigned to Learning Support, they must register for the required course(s), and they must spend at least one semester working in the required course(s). The courses are offered in one or two semester sequences. The students progress through these courses at their own pace and may complete course requirements in one semester. However, they have three (3) semesters in which to complete requirements.

Exit from Learning Support

In order to exit a Learning Support course, the students must meet two criteria:

1. They must first satisfactorily complete all course requirements, that is, all of the assigned work for the entire semester, and receive a passing grade for the course.
2. They must perform satisfactorily on the exit form of the CPE for the particular area(s).

NOTE: In order to be eligible to write the exit form of the CPE in English, the students must perform satisfactorily on a qualifying essay that is administered by the Coordinator of Testing, after the students have passed all of the required work in the course. To be eligible to write the exit form of the CPE in mathematics, the students must perform satisfactorily on a Comprehensive Mathematics exam after the students have passed all of the required work for the course. In reading, students must take the Nelson-Denny test and acquire a passing score.

The students may attempt the exit CPE only after they have passed the course(s). If they fail the exam form of the CPE, they have not exited the course nor met their Learning Support requirements. But once the students have met the conditions of exit for each course in which they are required to enroll, they have exited Learning Support and will then be classified as regular freshmen students.

When the students exit a Learning Support course in a particular area, they are then eligible to register for university-level courses in that area.

The Exit Test

The testing policy is as follows:

1. Students may attempt the CPE only after satisfactorily completing the requirements for the course(s) to which they have been assigned. These requirements are clearly defined and outlined at the beginning of each course.
2. The exit CPE is given only at the end of the semester. The students may attempt the CPE at the end of the first semester of enrollment if they have met and passed course exit requirements.
3. Revisions of the Retest Policy:
   1. Student may be permitted to retest on the exit Compass test if they have earned a grade of B or above in the area in which exit testing is attempted.
   2. Students who are in their final attempt in any area may be permitted to retest for exit on the CPE provided that they have (1) earned grade of B or above in the area in which exit testing is attempted, or (2) a documented learning disability.
4. Exit Scores
   1. To exit Learning Support reading, a student must score an 82 or higher on the COMPASS (CPE) Test.
   2. To exit Learning Support English, a student must score a 71 or higher on the COMPASS (CPE) Test.
   3. To exit Learning Support mathematics, a student must score a 40 or higher on the COMPASS (CPE) Test.

Failure to Pass the Exit CPE

If students fail to pass the exit CPE in any course at the end of the semester, they must register for the next course(s) in the sequence the following semester and continue working on the required assignments for the course. They must complete satisfactorily (pass) the required work before they will be eligible to attempt the CPE again.

Suspension from Learning Support

The students have three (3) semesters (not necessarily consecutive) in which to complete all Learning Support requirements. At the end of the third semester of enrollment, students who have not exited all Learning Support courses will be suspended from the university. If a student does not complete requirements for an area in twelve semester hours or three semesters, whichever comes first, the student will be suspended. The student may not be considered for readmission within three years of suspension.

Prior to suspending a student who has not exited a Learning Support area within the twelve semester hours or three-semester limit, Georgia Southwestern State University will allow the student to appeal for two additional courses. For each additional attempt, the student must:

• Be individually evaluated and determined to have a reasonable chance of success
• Be in an exit level course
• Have reached the limit in only one Learning Support area

During the semester of the first attempt, the student may enroll in courses other than Learning Support (subject to the 20-hour limit on the number of credit hours a student may earn before exiting Learning Support). If the student is granted the appeal for the second additional course, the student may enroll in only the Learning Support course.

University and Departmental Policies

1. Change in Policy:
   Any Learning Support policy, including exit requirements, may be changed at the beginning of any semester. If and when policy changes are made, they will apply to all students enrolled in Learning Support at that time. Further, students will be notified of such changes at the beginning of the semester in which the changes will occur.
   
2. Class Attendance:
   Students are expected to attend class and lab as scheduled. Any class or lab missed, excused or unexcused, must be made up within one week (5 class days) after students return to class. (The instructor may request an acceptable excuse as a condition of make-up.)
   
   More than five (5), or four (4) in a four-day week class, absences (time and work not made up) will prohibit the student from taking the CPE at the end of the semester (more than three[3] at mid-semester).
   
   More than ten (10), or eight (8) in a four-day week class, absences (time and work not make up) cannot be made up and will result in an automatic U (F) in the course.
   
   It is the obligation of students to contact the instructor for a time or period convenient to the instructor to make up an absence. Whether or not the students can make up a given absence will be at the discretion of the instructor.
   
3. Withdrawals:
   Learning Support courses are required and pre-requisites for certain university-level courses. Therefore, students are not allowed to withdraw from course(s) in Learning Support and remain at Georgia Southwestern State University.
   
   Further, students who have a total of ten (10) or more absences or who have abandoned class may be administratively withdrawn from that class or those classes. Administrative withdrawal will result in the grade of WF for the Learning Support course(s). Further, administrative withdrawal from a Learning Support course will result in administrative withdrawal from all university-level courses in which the students are enrolled. Students who are administratively withdrawn from two or more Learning Support courses in any one semester may be suspended from Georgia Southwestern State University for the following semester.
   
   If students withdraw from Georgia Southwestern State University for any reason after mid-semester in any one semester, that semester will count as one (1) of the three (3) semesters allowed for completion of Learning Support requirements.
   
4. Discipline:
   Students who engage in disruptive classroom behavior or who become verbally or physically abusive to an instructor shall be automatically dismissed from that class and shall receive a failing grade for that course. A continuance of similar behavior in another course may lead to an automatic expulsion from the University. (See GSWeathervane.)
   
5. Policy Regarding Accumulation of Twenty Academic Hours:
   Students who have accumulated a total of twenty (20) academic hours at the end of any one semester and have not completed all of the requirements for Learning Support will be required to register for only Learning Support courses until exiting.
   
6. Students enrolled in twelve (12) or more hours of study are considered full-time students. Therefore, each semester of enrollment will count as one of the three (3) semesters allowed for exit in all required Learning Support classes. The only exception to this policy is a situation in which the required course is not offered a particular semester. In that case, the student needs to see the Dean of Academic Services and Special Programs. Part-time students (fewer than twelve [12] hours per semester) will be allowed three (3) semesters per course.
   
7. No one (child or adult) who is not registered for a Learning Support course may attend a class without the expressed consent of the instructor. No child under seven years of age may sit in a Learning Support class at any time for any reason.
   
8. Students with documented disabilities who may need academic accommodations should discuss these with their professor during the first two weeks of class.
   
9. Policies on Student Work:
   Plagiarism is prohibited. Essays, assigned papers, tests, and other similar requirements must be the work of the student submitting them. The selling, giving, lending, or otherwise sharing of required texts or examination questions and/or answers is prohibited.

For clarification and further information of the above-stated policies, students may discuss them with a Learning Support course instructor or with the Dean of Academic Services and Special Programs.

Explanation of Grades Used:

The grades assigned in Learning Support courses are A, B, C, D, F, S, U, and WF. The meaning of these grades and conditions under which they are assigned are as follows:

1. Grades of A,B,C,D - These grades indicate passing work and exit from the course. They will be assigned at the end of the students' last semester in the particular course. The grades, therefore, mean exit from the course and also reflect the quality of work done for the entire time in which the students are enrolled in the course.
2. Grade of S - The S means satisfactory work in progress. It is used at the end of the first or second semester to indicate that work in the course is satisfactory and needs to continue during the following semester. ALSO, it is used, along with the CPE score, to indicate that the students have passed the course but failed the CPE and, therefore, have not exited the course. They need to continue working during their next semester.
3. Grade of U - The U means unsatisfactory (failing) progress. It is used at the end of the first or second semester to indicate that course objectives have not been met and/or that the student has accumulated excessive absences.
4. Grade of F - The F means failure to exit the course in the allotted time. It is used at the end of the third or fourth semester to indicate Learning Support suspension from Georgia Southwestern State University.
5. Grade of WF - The WF is used to indicate administrative withdrawal from the course.
   

Courses Offered:

ENGL 0098, ENGL 0099 - Learning Support English I and II: A two-semester sequence of courses required of those Learning Support students whose performance on the placement test in English indicates the need for at least one semester of basic instruction.

The Bachelor of Science Degree in Sociology is designed to familiarize the student with the structure and functioning of society, to develop greater understanding and appreciation of diverse cultural groups, to stimulate constructive analysis of sociological patterns, to encourage further research on human social behavior, and to prepare students for productive careers in a wide variety of occupations and professions. Sociology is the study of social life and the social causes and consequences of human behavior. It investigates the structure of groups, organizations, and societies, as well as their formation, development, and interactions. Since all human behavior is social, the subject matter of sociology ranges from the intimate family to the hostile mob, from crime to religion, from the divisions of race, gender, and social class to the shared beliefs of a common culture, from the sociology of work to the sociology of sport. In fact, few fields have such broad scope and relevance.

Various occupations and professions are available at the local, state and national levels to the person who majors in sociology. Many of the agencies affiliated with the Georgia Department of Human Resources, such as the Department of Family and Children Services and the Department of Mental Health and Mental Retardation, employ social service personnel. Other positions exist in state agencies dealing with juvenile and adult offenders. Local agencies and organizations requiring social service personnel include the Council on Aging, the Sumter Regional Hospital, Magnolia Manor Retirement Center, and the Rosalynn Carter Institute. While many sociologists hold positions in social service and educational fields, an increasing number hold a wide variety of jobs in such sectors as business, the health professions, the criminal justice system, and in government.

Nationally, sociologists are commonly employed by governmental agencies such as the National Science Foundation, the National Academy of Sciences, the Bureau of the Census, the National Institutes of Health, Education, and Welfare, the Departments of Agriculture, Housing and Urban Development, Defense, Commerce, and many others. Sociologists also direct, advise, and review research sponsored by foundations such as Russell Sage, Carnegie, and Ford, and likewise they work with business, technology, and industry.

Sociologists also teach at the community college, college, and university levels, as well as increasingly at high school levels across the nation. Preparation for graduate school is, of course, an integral part of the individual student's program.

And yet, career payoffs are not the only reason for studying sociology. Its subject matter holds considerable interest for its own sake. Certainly sociology offers valuable preparation for other sorts of careers. Sociology is a popular major for students planning futures in such professions as law, business, education, architecture, medicine, social work, and public administration.

SCHOOL OF NURSING

The School of Nursing (SON) offers the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree program. Baccalaureate graduates are prepared for a variety of beginning positions in hospitals, community health care agencies, private offices, the military, industry, and schools. A baccalaureate education also establishes the basis for further learning in graduate programs.

The BSN program accommodates students in three tracks: the basic generic track, the accelerated BSN track, and the RN-BSN track. The basic generic track is designed for students without an earned degree in nursing. The accelerated BSN track is an 18-month program designed for non-nurse college graduates. The RN/BSN track is for individuals educated at the diploma or associate degree level and already licensed as registered nurses. The SON supports the Georgia Articulation plan to facilitate educational mobility for registered nurses.

The BSN program has full approval from the Georgia Board of Nursing (237 Coliseum Drive; Macon, GA, 31217-3858; 478.207.1640). The School of Nursing is accredited by the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission (61 Broadway, 33rd Floor; New York, NY, 10006; 212.363.5555).

MISSION STATEMENT OF THE SCHOOL OF NURSING

The mission of Georgia Southwestern State University School of Nursing is to prepare professional nurses for the 21st century who can work with diverse populations in multiple practice settings. In a caring community of learning, we are preparing future leaders with our focus on helping students learn.

STATEMENT OF PHILOSOPHY

The faculty of the School of Nursing at Georgia Southwestern State University (GSW) believes that nursing is a practice-oriented discipline focused on the promotion of health of human beings in interaction with their environments. Human beings are unique and individual in their responses to health and illness, and represent a variety of socio-economic and educational perspectives, ethnic backgrounds and lifestyle patterns.

We believe that health can be viewed as a personal commitment and a social commitment. We believe that health should be seen as a community and societal obligation rather than only as a personal responsibility. From this perspective, health is influenced by biological, social, cultural, spiritual, political and psychological factors.

We believe that because nurses are being challenged to care for patients who are socially, politically and economically disadvantaged, they must move beyond a psychological conceptualization of the environment into a sociopolitical-economic and cultural conceptualization. Through this reconceptualization, nurses can see that human responses to health and illness are related to the structure of the social world, the economic and political policies that govern the structure, and the human, social relationships that are produced by the structure and the policies.

We believe that nursing education should be based on critical analysis and synthesis of facts, concepts, principles, and theories from nursing, in addition to the social, educational, behavioral, humanities, natural, medical, and basic sciences. We believe that basic and applied research generated knowledge should be included throughout the nursing curriculum. We believe that the goal of baccalaureate education is to prepare persons to provide professional nursing care to all people in a variety of settings. In addition, we believe in the need to ensure that curriculum content and models, teaching-learning practices, and evaluation methods should be responsive to the actual needs of society and consistent with evolving health care and education reforms.

OBJECTIVES FOR THE BSN PROGRAM

The sequencing of content and major learning experiences in the undergraduate program is based on the progression of the student through increasingly complex and diverse health care settings. The major consideration is the progression of knowledge acquisition, knowledge application, and analysis and synthesis of knowledge required for the practice of professional nursing. The curriculum reflects current health care trends and the role of the RN in today's health care system. Introductory nursing courses are offered at the Freshman level and students can declare nursing as their major and begin building a relationship with the School and nursing advisors. In the sophomore year, students complete prerequisite nursing courses: Introduction to Health Care, Concepts of Professional Nursing, Clinical Therapeutics, and Human Pathophysiology and these courses must reflect a passing grade before acceptance into the upper division courses. The admission requirements provide a foundation for the nursing major.

The upper division nursing curriculum for the BSN program is divided into four semesters to provide continuity, sequence and integration in the learning experiences. Clinical nursing courses are taught in a sequential manner; therefore clinical nursing courses in one semester may not be taken without completion of the clinical courses in the preceding semester.

To provide learning experiences for the students, a variety of institutions and agencies are utilized. The small rural hospitals as well as larger metropolitan hospitals provide the student an opportunity for clinical nursing practice. The School utilizes numerous community agencies to broaden the student's clinical experiences. In the clinical area, the student applies theoretical nursing concepts to patient care. The nursing process is applied in every clinical area as a framework for acquiring new information, identifying patient needs, assisting the patient in meeting needs, and in evaluating the end product. By utilizing the nursing process at increasing levels of complexity, each individual student can integrate concepts of the curriculum into nursing practice.

The goal of baccalaureate education is to prepare competent, self-directed generalist nurses (Registered Nurses) who can assume increasing responsibility and leadership in the delivery of evidence-based nursing care. Nursing is a socially determined profession whose practice evolves in response to the needs of persons. These needs provide direction for future roles of professional nursing practice, and curricular innovations. Thus, the need to ensure that curriculum content and models, teaching-learning practices, and evaluation methods are responsive to the actual needs of society and consistent with evolving health care and education reforms.

PROGRAM PROGRESSION

TOTAL TESTING POLICY:

A program of progression testing and evaluation is in place at the School of Nursing to assist faculty and students in identifying areas of student knowledge that require attention in order to successfully complete the nursing program, as well as for BSN graduates to successfully pass the NCLEX-RN licensure examination.

In addition to successful completion of coursework, students are required to participate in the Total Testing Program. The Total Testing Program includes standardized testing prior to initial enrollment; critical thinking testing during the first semester and last semesters of study; course exam testing; standardized testing within selected nursing courses throughout the program of study; and a comprehensive NCLEX-RN readiness test during the final semester (refer to section on Graduation). There is a fee associated with these tests. Students are responsible for paying testing fees at the end of the first week of each semester. Failure to pay testing fees will result in administrative withdrawal from the course.

Exam Grading Criteria:

Students must achieve an overall average of 75% or better in all exams and quizzes before other graded items will be included in the final course grade.

Standardized Testing:

Test of Essential Academic Skills (TEAS)

The ATI TEAS is utilized as a component of admission decision-making. For students admitted to the program, the results of this exam are reviewed by the faculty advisor and student during the first two weeks of the first semester of program to determine academic skills that need improvement. It is the student's responsibility to schedule a meeting with the faculty advisor for the review.

Critical Thinking Exam

This test is administered during the first semester of the junior year and the last semester of the senior year. The results of the first exam are reviewed by the faculty advisor and student during the first two weeks of the junior year. It is the student's responsibility to schedule a meeting with the faculty advisor for this review. The results of the critical thinking exam are utilized as part of the total program evaluation.

Content Mastery Testing (ATI - RN Content Mastery Series 2.1):

Students must achieve the identified target score or above for successful completion of the following courses:

NURS 4100	Nursing of Adults II	62 Score
NURS 3750	Obstetrics & Newborn	41 Score
	Pediatrics	40 Score
NURS 4630	Pharmacology	42 Score

If the target score is not achieved on the first attempt, students may repeat the test once by the end of the final exam week of the semester only if they scored within 10 points of the minimum target score on the first attempt. Students who not score at the minimum target score on the second attempt will receive an F in the designated course. Students who score 10 points below the target minimum score on the first attempt may not re-test and will receive an F in the designated course. All students have opportunities to take non-proctored exams during the academic year.

Drug Calculation Proficiency Examination:

1. All students must take and pass a drug calculation test with at least 90% accuracy at the beginning of each semester before they are allowed to progress into clinical.
1. If a score of 90% or higher is not earned on the first attempt, the student will be allowed two (2) additional attempts.
2. If a student does not earn a score of 90% or higher after three attempts, the student cannot progress into the clinical courses in which the student is enrolled that semester.
3. The last day to take the third exam is the last day to add/drop courses for that semester.
4. Each student who is unsuccessful on the third attempt will meet with the Dean and course faculty to determine action to be taken.
2. Each test will be composed of 20 items. Students will have one (1) hour to complete each test. Calculators will be allowed.
3. Each test will contain the MINIMUM number of questions, as indicated below, in each listed category. Faculty is free to have five (5) questions from any of the categories, dictated by the level of the students and the demands of their clinical settings. Faculty may state the questions as they wish: i.e., there is no format for each question.

NUMBER	TYPE OF QUESTIONS
3	Conversions (metric to and from apothecary systems)
3	I.V. drip rate in gtt/minute or volume/hourep
2	Liquid and oral dosage
2	I.M./S.C. injections-volume and/or dosageep
2	Dosage based on weight of patient
2	Tablets/capsules per dose (scored or unscored)ep
1	Heparin or Insulin injection
5	Instructor's choice
20	Questions Total

4. Equivalent tests will be administered to students at all levels.
5. Faculty teaching students at the same level during the same semester may collaborate with the development of dosage calculation tests.
6. For those students who are unsuccessful on the first attempt, a structured review will be mandatory prior to administration of the second dosage calculation test. (This review session may be an independent study review session or an instructor led review session). The three tests will be completed during the first week of each semester.

NCLEX-RN Predictor Exam:

For the comprehensive NCLEX-RN Predictor Exam, students are required to obtain a minimum of 65th percentile (national) on the test after two attempts. Students who do not achieve the 65th percentile on the second attempt will receive an F in the NURS 4900 Practicum course.

Standardized Test Remediation:

Test of Essential Academic Skills and Critical Thinking Exam (at program entry)

Students are required to meet with the faculty advisor during the first week of first semester of the Junior year to review the results of the tests. There is no score required for the Critical Thinking Exam - the test is administered to measure critical thinking skills upon entry and exit from the nursing program. The data assist in the determination of the impact of the nursing program on students' critical thinking abilities.

For the Test of Essential Skills - a written learning prescription for improvement, if indicated by test score results, will be generated at the conference, signed by both parties. A copy of the prescription will be placed in the student folder. The student is responsible for providing written evidence each semester of compliance with the learning prescription.

Content Mastery Exam Remediation:

Students eligible for a second attempt of the content mastery exam are expected to review the content areas and topics for review provided the student after completion of the first exam by ATI. A variety of learning resources may be used in the review process, including selected components of ATI Content Mastery Series review modules, non-proctored online practice assessments, the ATI PLAN DVD nursing review disk, and course material.

NCLEX-RN Predictor Exam Remediation:

Students failing to obtain a minimum of 65th national percentile rank on the first exam must remediate prior to taking the second exam. Students are expected to review their performance profiles, meet with the Practicum course advisor to discuss the results and to develop a written remediation prescription to be signed by the student and Practicum advisor.

The student is expected to follow the prescription, and, prior to the last week of the semester, to retake the examination at a date and time scheduled by the School of Nursing.

The remediation prescription will include, but is not limited to: a) review of selected components of the ATI content Mastery Series review modules; b) complete nonproctored ATI online comprehensive assessments; c) utilize the ATI PLAN DVD nursing review disks; d) review of prior course texts and content; and, e) review current NCLEX-RN review text, including sample tests. It is the student's responsibility to complete the remediation process and to provide documentation of completion of the review to the Practicum course faculty advisor.

Exemption from GSW Policy on Re-Examination for Seniors:

The Vice President of Academic Affairs has given the School of Nursing an exemption from following the University policy on reexamination for seniors. Progression in and graduation from the nursing program is dependent on meeting the conditions as listed in the most recent version of the School of Nursing progression policy.

General Progression Guidelines:

1. All pre-and co-requisites for courses must be met before the student progresses to the next specified course.
2. Students are required to have a grade of "C" or better in each nursing course, with the exception of NURS 4900, in which a minimum of "B" is required. A grade of WF counts as a failure.
3. A failure in any nursing course numbered 3xxx or 4xxx is considered a failure in the nursing program. A student failing a course for the first time may repeat it once in the subsequent term that the course is offered, as space is available.
4. A student obtaining a second "D" and/or "F" in a nursing course numbered 3xxx or 4xxx is not eligible to continue the program of study and will be dropped from the School of Nursing.
5. The student must maintain an institutional grade point average of 2.5 to progress to the next term. Any student whose GPA falls below 2.5 must meet with the academic advisor to develop a written plan for academic improvement. In the case that a student does not improve the GPA to a 2.5 within the next semester, the student will not be allowed to continue in the nursing program.
6. Students must complete all clinical nursing courses within three years of admission to the program. Records of students who do not meet this requirement will be subject to review by the Admissions and Progression Committee to determine future matriculation in the School of Nursing.
7. In clinical nursing courses, the student must achieve a satisfactory (or passing) grade in the clinical learning experiences and a "C" or better in the theory (didactic) portion of the course in order to pass the course.
8. All legislative, general education requirements, and the swimming requirements must be completed prior to taking Practicum in Nursing (NURS 4900)
9. Maintain current certification in CPR for health professionals.

ATTENDANCE & ABSENCES

Exam Absences:

Attendance for all examinations is expected. Students who are absent for an examination will receive a zero (0) for that exam. In extreme extenuating circumstances, a student may submit a formal request for exception to this policy as follows:

• Submit formal letter of request to course faculty (Course Coordinator)
• Include in letter of request the specific exam and a detailed rationale for the request.
• Attach official documentation of extenuating circumstances.

The course faculty will make the decision to grant or deny the request based on a case-by-case review of individual circumstances. If permission to take a make-up exam is granted, the time and type of examination will be determined by the teaching team. Make up exam items may be of any type including short answer and essay. Students who arrive late for an exam may or may not be admitted to the exam, BUT if admitted, will have only the remaining time to complete the exam.

Extreme, Extenuating Circumstances:

Occasionally, unforeseen, uncontrollable extenuating circumstances cause tardiness for class or clinical laboratories; however, a pattern of tardiness shows a lack of respect for others, irresponsibility, and is unacceptable. Below are listed some circumstances which might lead to an isolated incident of absence or tardiness. When making a request for an exception to policy, students must attach the required documentation to the letter of request.

• Illness of student or immediate family member requiring the student's care. Documentation will consist of medical statement with date, letterhead, and signature of care provider.
• Death of a family member. Documentation will consist of the newspaper obituary, death certificate, or funeral home documents.
• Unforeseen emergencies preventing the student from attending class or lab (e.g. house fire, vehicle collision, jury duty). Documentation will consist of a signed statement from the appropriate agency or office.

Attendance Policy:

Students are expected to attend all scheduled classes and to arrive promptly. If the student is late and class has begun, the student may enter only at the break session. All electronic devices are to be turned off in the classroom, with the exception of laptop computers and tape recorders, with the permission of the faculty. If a student misses class, it is the student's responsibility to obtain announcements, notes, and handouts from another student. A student may be administratively withdrawn for absences accounting for more than 20% of the course (lecture or lecture and clinical).

CLINICAL AGENCY MANDATES

Beginning with the Fall, 2004 semester, clinical agencies may require that nursing students who rotate through their facilities are subject to criminal background checks and urine drug screens. The School of Nursing will neither pay for nor offer these screens. The School of Nursing will not have access to the results of these checks/screens.

A facility may, because of the results of these screens, prohibit a student from engaging in clinical activities in that facility. The School of Nursing will attempt, but does not guarantee, to find alternative, equivalent, experiences.

GRADUATION

For basic generic students and accelerated degree program students, the entire program must be completed within six semesters of successfully passing NURS 3200 Health Assessment. For RN students, the entire program must be completed within five years of successfully passing NURS 3200 Health Assessment.

Students in the School of Nursing must meet the graduation requirements and application for graduation deadlines found in the Georgia Southwestern State University Undergraduate Bulletin. It is the student's responsibility to submit the completed Application for Graduation to the academic advisor and pay the graduation application fee to the Office of the Registrar by the required date. Students are expected to be aware of and meet all deadlines for graduation.

Preparation for Licensure:

Each student is responsible for preparing adequately to take the licensing examination. The School of Nursing will assist graduating seniors in preparation for licensure and application to write the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN).

Students are required to attend ALL review sessions made available by the School of Nursing. Students are required to pay for and complete a formal NCLEX-RN review course prescribed by the School of Nursing during the final semester of study.

During the final term of the senior year, designated faculty will meet with students to discuss the NCLEX-RN process. Applications for taking the licensing examination in Georgia will be distributed along with procedural information. Students taking the examination in states other than Georgia must acquire an application from the appropriate Board of Nursing. A list of all Jurisdictions offering the licensure examination is available on the National Council of State Boards of Nursing web site.

The completed application is then submitted to the Dean's office for the required affirmation and signature. The Dean is not authorized to sign the application until after documentation of completion of program requirements is completed. Applications can be sent directly from the Dean's office to the appropriate Board of Nursing or students can choose to mail their own applications upon receipt of their final transcript. Students are required to make a written request for an official copy of their final transcript from the Registrars Office. An official transcript must accompany the application to the appropriate Board of Nursing.

THE UNIVERSITY SYSTEM OF GEORGIA

The University System of Georgia includes all state-operated institutions of higher education in Georgia-4 research universities, 2 regional universities, 13 state universities, 15 associate degree colleges. These 34 public institutions are located throughout the state.

A 15-member constitutional Board of Regents governs the University System, which has been in operation since 1932. Appointments of Board members are made by the Governor, subject to confirmation by the State Senate. Regular terms of Board members are seven years.

The Chair, Vice Chair, and other officers of the Board of Regents are elected by the members of the Board. The Chancellor, who is not a Board member, 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.

Standards for admission of students to instructional programs at each institution are determined, pursuant to policies of the Board of Regents, by the institution. The Board establishes minimum standards and leaves to each institution the prerogative to establish higher standards. Applications for admission should be addressed to the institutions.

PUBLIC SERVICE/CONTINUING EDUCATION consists of non-degree activities, primarily, and special types of college degree-credit courses. The non-degree activities include short courses, seminars, conferences, and consultative and advisory services in many areas of interest. Typical college degree-credit courses are those offered through extension center programs and teacher education consortiums.

RESEARCH encompasses scholarly investigations conducted for discovery and application of knowledge. Most of the research is conducted through the research universities; however, some of it is conducted through several of the regional and state universities. The research investigations cover matters related to the educational objectives of the institutions and to general social needs.

The policies of the Board of Regents provide a high degree of autonomy for each institution. The executive head of each institution is the President, whose election is recommended by the Chancellor and approved by the Board.
