Books are not included on a student's invoice. However, since students usually purchase books for class, we included an estimated amount to assist when estimating the Cost of Attendance. All amounts provided are based on costs and are subject to change for the academic year.
Independent course study offerings are found in the undergraduate course description section of the Catalog. Independent study courses include only those areas of research, study, or investigation beyond those normally offered in the department curriculum. The mission of University System of Georgia Independent Study is to offer University System academic credit courses to University System students and individuals who are interested in earning academic credit through self-directed study.
It provides freedom from the classroom structure and, as a result, places the responsibility for learning directly on the student. It allows flexibility of registration, permitting students to register at any time and take several courses simultaneously with up to a year to complete each course.
Independent Study courses are offered by academic departments located at senior institutions of higher education within the University System of Georgia.
Faculties of the academic departments prepare the courses offered and grade lessons submitted by students to satisfy requirements of the courses. Academic credits earned through Independent Study are recorded on the student's permanent record in the University of Georgia Registrar's Office and may be used for degree requirements according to the regulations of the college or university from which the student plans to graduate. The total number of hours earned through Independent Study that may be applied toward a baccalaureate degree program within the University System of Georgia may not exceed one-fourth of the hours required for graduation.
Ordinarily, students are permitted to be transient students for only one semester. Students approved for Academic Renewal are not eligible to take transient coursework. Details may be obtained from the Center for Testing. The general conditions and standards for awarding credit are as follows:.
Students may challenge undergraduate courses, i. A student who wishes to challenge a course must present to the chairperson of the department that offers the course sufficient information to enable the department chairperson to determine the student's mastery of the material provided in the course. A student who is considered eligible for a course challenge by a department chairperson is examined on the course by the faculty of the department according to a procedure established by the department.
This challenge policy does not apply to learning support courses. If the student is approved for credit by examination, the student will pay an examination and recording fee per course challenged. Receipt of payment from the Business Office must be presented to the department chairperson before the examination. The result of the examination is recorded on the Credit by Examination Form provided by the Dean of the School. The Dean of the School will notify the Office of the Registrar of all successful challenges.
If the student successfully challenges the course, the course credit is recorded in the student's permanent record, but no grades or quality points are awarded. There is a limit of one challenge per course. Upper-division credit may be awarded by the Office of Admissions or recommended by the Department Chair of the area in which credit is sought. Each point represents a quality point earned per semester hour credit. Total quality points are determined by multiplying the number of points awarded for the grade in the course by the number of semester hours for the course.
In other words, a student who receives an A in a three-hour course would earn twelve quality points for work in that course. It should be noted that students may earn credit through wellness activities, internships, student teaching and similar experiences which generate grades of either S satisfactory or U unsatisfactory. When an S satisfactory grade is earned for courses in which credit toward graduation is received, the credit will be counted but there will be no quality points given.
Students may repeat courses under the institutional average. In the calculation of the institutional average only the last grade earned and credit awarded will count toward the institutional grade-point average. The following symbols are used in the cases indicated, but they are not included in the determination of the grade-point average. Indicates that a student was doing satisfactory work, but for nonacademic reasons beyond the student's control was unable to meet the full requirements of the course.
An I grade must be satisfactorily removed during the next semester of enrollment or by the end of one calendar year if not enrolled, whichever comes first, or the symbol I will be changed to the grade of F. Note: registering in a subsequent semester for a course in which an I has been received will not remove the incomplete but will result in the grade of F.
Indicates that a student was permitted to withdraw from the course without academic penalty. Withdrawals without penalty will not be permitted after the mid-point of the total grading period including final examination , except in cases where hardship status has been determined by the appropriate school dean and the student is doing passing work, as determined by the student's instructor.
Students withdrawing after mid-term for hardship reasons must file a petition with the dean of the appropriate school. Indicates that credit has been given for completion of degree requirements other than academic course work. This symbol is used for thesis hours, student teaching, clinical practicum, internship, wellness activity courses, academic workshops and proficiency requirements in graduate programs.
Indicates unsatisfactory performance in an attempt to complete degree requirements other than academic course work. Indicates that a student was given permission to audit. Students may not transfer from audit to credit status or vice versa after the last date to add a course. Students may register on a credit basis at a later time.
Indicates that a student was given credit for the course via a credit-by-examination program approved by the faculty, CLEP, AP, Proficiency, etc. Indicates that work is in progress. Used in thesis, practicums, internships, and learning services. Indicates that the instructor did not report the grade for the course.
An NR grade must be removed during the next semester of enrollment or by the end of one calendar year if not enrolled, whichever comes first, or the symbol NR will be changed to the grade of F. One is the term average, based upon all work attempted in a particular semester. The second is the Regents' cumulative average, as defined below. The third is the institutional average, which is described below and is used to determine academic standing and graduation eligibility.
Regents Cumulative Grade Point Average. The regents cumulative grade-point average is calculated by dividing the number of hours scheduled in all courses attempted in which a grade of A, B, C, D, F, or WF has been received into the number of grade points earned on those hours scheduled. The regents' cumulative grade-point average will be reflected on the transcript.
Institutional credit shall in no way affect the regents' cumulative grade point average. Under the institutional average, students may repeat a course or courses and have only the last grade earned count toward the institutional grade point average and credit awarded. The institutional average is the basis for determining academic standing and eligibility for graduation.
The institutional average applies to all students. The decision to use the institutional average for purposes other than academic standing and graduation is covered in other sections of this catalog. Students should be aware that when transferring to other institutions or when making application for graduate school, most receiving institutions make admission decisions based on the regents' cumulative grade point average. A student's academic standing is determined by the institutional grade-point average at the end of each semester.
A student will be classified in good academic standing if the institutional grade-point average is at least a 1. See particularly the admission standards for the schools of education and nursing and some majors in the arts and sciences. A student incurs academic warning at the end of any semester in which the institutional average falls below the standard for good standing.
To avoid being placed on academic probation the student must earn sufficient grade points during the next semester of enrollment to raise the institutional average to the minimum standard for good standing.
If the student achieves the minimum standard at the end of the next semester of enrollment, the academic warning is lifted and the student returns to good standing. A student who fails to return to good standing by the end of the warning semester will be placed on probation. Academic warning is noted on the student's official transcript. A student will be placed on probation at the end of any semester in which the institutional average remains below the stated minimums and academic warning has been issued during the previous semester.
Students who achieve the required grade average for good standing will have their probation status removed. A student who fails to return to good standing by the end of the probation semester will be dismissed.
Academic probation is noted on the student's official transcript. The student will also be expected to develop a plan for obtaining academic good standing.
