This is
Southern Adventist University

Southern Adventist University is a co-educational institution established by the
Seventh-day Adventist Church, offering master' s, baccalaureate, and associate degrees,
and one-year certificates.

The Mission

Southern Adventist University, serving local, national, and international constituents,
provides learning in a Christian environment in which all are encouraged to pursue
truth, wellness, and a life of service.

Core Values

• A Christ-centered campus

• Academic and professional excellence in a distinctive Seventh-day Adventist
environment — theologically, socially, morally, and intellectually

• Demonstrated hospitality and service

• Affordable education

Institutional Goals

• Graduates who master the basic skills of critical reasoning, independent thinking,
computation, communication, collaboration, and creativity needed to enter the
workplace with confidence, to pursue lifelong learning, and to exercise leadership
as contributing citizens who advance their families, communities, the church, and
society.

• Competent and diverse faculty and staff who model balanced eithical lives,
integrate faith and learning, demonstrate scholarship through teaching, research,
and other scholarly and creative activities, and celebrate and energize the student
spirit as they respect and support the different ways students develop their minds,
their persons, and their citizenship.

• Campus learning communities that engage students with ideas that mark educated
persons, global and multicultural perspectives, and advanced technology to
develop both ethical principles and intellectual flexibility.

• Active partnerships with alumni, church, community, business and industry, civic
organizations, and government in order to analyze, project, and respond to
changing needs to help ensure that graduates are prepared for a life of service.

• Responsible stewardship of resources entrusted to the university through effective
fiscal management to fulfill the mission, vision, and goals of the university.

GUIDING PRINCIPLES FOR GRADUATE PROGRAMS

In keeping with the institutional mission statement, graduate education at Southern
Adventist University provides an opportunity for motivated students to combine the
acquisition of knowledge with refinement of their intellectual skills in the pursuit of
truth. This experience extends beyond the transmission of information in the
traditional disciplines. Rather, the learning environment consists of a community of
scholars where students and professors jointly share dilemmas as well as discoveries
and insights, resulting in a mutually fulfilling growth experience. Such opportunities
motivate the student to engage in open dialogue, debate, critique, thoughtful query
and independent thinking. Previous knowledge and understandings are examined,
reconsidered, and synthesized in light of new learning; and accepted practices
undergo the rigor of thoughtful analysis.

Students study and integrate theory, research, and practice in specialized areas of
expertise. Considerable emphasis is placed upon independent and collaborative
projects, which require a complexity of skills, including problem identification,
inquiry, problem solving, analysis, and synthesis. Depending upon the particular
graduate program; comprehensive examinations, capstone seminars, portfolios, and
theses afford additional demonstrations of scholarship and the potential for
contributions to the field. Sound scholarship is expected, and these projects may lead
to formal papers, professional presentations, or publishable manuscripts.

At Southern Adventist University, the quest for truth relates to matters of Christian
faith. Because Biblical ideals lead to an appreciation of human dignity, participants
in the community of scholars seek to apply theory in ways that preserve human worth.
Christian education combines faith and learning, understanding and practice,
erudition and service.

HISTORY

In 1 892 the educational venture that developed into Southern Adventist University
had its beginning in the small village of Graysville, Tennessee. The school became
known as Graysville Academy. In 1 896 the name was changed to Southern Industrial
School and five years later to Southern Training School.

In 1916, because of limited acreage available for further expansion of plant
facilities, the school was moved to the Thatcher farm inHamilton County, Tennessee.
The name "Collegedale" was given to the anticipated community. At its new location,
the school opened as Southern Junior College and continued as such until 1 944 when
it achieved senior college status, after which the name was changed to Southern
Missionary College. In 1982 the name was changed to Southern College of
Seventh-day Adventists. University status was achieved in 1 996 when the name was
changed to Southern Adventist University.

SETTING

Southern Adventist University' s 1 , 1 00 acre Collegedale campus is nestled in a valley
18 miles east of Chattanooga. The quietness and beauty of the surroundings are in
keeping with the University's educational philosophy.

PETITION AND ACADEMIC GRIEVANCE PROCEDURES

Academic Grievances

The student, believing that he or she has been unfairly treated or disciplined, may
enter into an academic grievance process. The student shall first discuss the grievance
with the instructor, within two weeks, of the grievance in an informal conference. If the
student believes that the solution is not appropriate, the student may submit the
grievance, in writing, to the School's Dean within four weeks of the informal
conference. If the student believes that the resolution facilitated by the School Dean is
not appropriate, the student can appeal to the Vice President for Academic
Administration within six weeks of the informal conference. The Vice President will ask
the Graduate Council to appoint a Grievance Committee according to the policies of the
Employee Handbook. The decision of the Grievance Committee shall be final.

Academic Integrity

Plagiarism is the intentional or unintentional presentation of another person' s idea or
product as one's own. Plagiarism includes, but is not limited to, the following: copying
verbatim all or part of another's written work; using phrases, charts, figures,
illustrations, or mathematical or scientific solutions without citing the source;
paraphrasing ideas, conclusions, or research without citing the source; and using all or
part of a literary plot, poem, film, musical score, or other artistic product without
attributing the work to its creator. Students can avoid unintentional plagiarism by
carefully following accepted scholarly practices. Notes taken for papers and research
projects should accurately record sources of material to be cited, quoted, paraphrased,
or summarized, and papers should acknowledge these sources in footnotes.

The penalties for plagiarism may include a zero or a grade of F on the work in
question, a grade of F in the course, suspension with a file letter, or expulsion.

Disability Act

Students with disabilities should contact the Center for Learning Success (CLS) by
phone: 423-238-2574 (or 2838), e-mail:cls(S)southern.edu (e-mail communication
cannot be guaranteed confidential), or in person (physical location: second floor of the
McKee Library.) Southern is in compliance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act
(1973) and has established the CLS to assist in advocating for reasonable
accommodations. However, the university does not assume responsibility for
providing accommodations or special services to students who have not voluntarily
identified themselves as having qualifying disabilities or to those who have not provided
the CLS with appropriate documentation of their disabilities. For information on
Southern's formal grievance procedure, contact the Counseling Center or the CLS.

Petitions

Students may petition the Graduate Council for exceptions to policy. Petitions should
include reasons for the request. The form may be obtained from the Records and
Advisement Office.

Financing Your Education

Southern Adventist University operates on the basis of each graduate student
assuming the primary responsibility for his/her educational costs. Financial aid is
available to U. S. citizens and permanent residents in the form of low interest federal and
private educational loans. Repayment of these loans does not begin until after a student
drops below half-time status. A limited number of private institutional scholarships and
graduate assistantships are available for students in the Master of Business
Administration, Education, Counseling, and Nursing programs. (Students may apply
for these scholarships/assistantships through the school in which they are enrolled.)

Students receiving a Seventh-day Adventist conference subsidy /assistance for tuition
and living expenses may not be eligible for financial aid. Specific assistance may vary
between the conferences, therefore tuition and expenses not covered by the subsidy
must be paid at, or before, registration. International students are not eligible for U.S.
federal financial aid.

Federal Stafford Loan Requirements and Disbursements

Students must register for, and attend, a minimum of five credit hours per semester
to receive a Federal Stafford Loan. The first half of the loan amount will be released
to the student' s account after the Disbursements Office verifies the student' s attendance
for at least five credits. Anyone who drops below five credit hours or does not attend
at least two class periods of the second course will not receive loan funds.

The amount that graduate students may borrow per year is up to $1 8,500 ($8,500
Subsidized, $1 0,000 Unsubsidized Stafford Loan) or the cost-of-attendance, whichever
is less, at an annual interest rate of approximately 2.82-8.25%. Principal repayment
begins six months after the student ceases to be enrolled in at least five credit hours.
Students receiving a Federal Stafford Loan will need to complete and mail the Free
Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and a loan application six to eight weeks
prior to registration. Loan fees of about 3% are deducted from the loan amount before
the funds are disbursed to Southern. Student borrowers may not receive anticipated
loan funds unless the loan application has been guaranteed, the amount borrowed
exceeds the direct costs, and the funds have been received by Southern. If extenuating
circumstances occur, students may appeal to the Financial Appeals Committee.

Ability to Benefit

The federal government requires that the university have a copy of the baccalaureate
transcript from an accredited institution prior to disbursement of federal financial aid
to graduate students. Therefore, students accepted provisionally will not receive their
loan proceeds until a copy of their baccalaureate transcript is received by the Records
and Advisement Office at Southern.

Students eligible for financial aid who are completing their first undergraduate
degree and who are also enrolled in the graduate program at Southern will receive
financial aid at the undergraduate level until they complete their undergraduate
requirements. Those seeking a second undergraduate and a graduate degree at the same
time, if eligible, will receive financial aid as a graduate student.

2004-2005
Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy

for Graduate Students Receiving Federal Financial Aid

Government regulations require all financial aid recipients to maintain satisfactory
academic progress toward a degree, as measured both qualitatively and quantitatively,
in order to receive financial aid, including federal loans. This requirement applies to
the entire period of enrollment in Southern Adventist University's graduate
program — including periods during which a student does not receive financial aid.
Failure to comply with this requirement may result in a student becoming ineligible for
financial aid.

Requirements

A student must maintain a cumulative grade-point average (GPA) of at least 3.00
and complete at least 67.00% of attempted credit hours per semester.

"Attempted credits" are those credits for which a student registers and of which
he/she attends at least two class periods. Aid is awarded based on these credits.
(Incompletes, withdrawals, and failed classes count toward the total attempted credits.
A repeated course counts as attempted credit each time it is taken.)

"Completed credits" are those that apply to a student's degree and for which a
passing grade is received. (Incompletes, withdrawals, failed classes, and audits do not
count as completed credits.)

Time Frame For Receiving Financial Aid

The maximum time to receive financial aid is 1 50% of the established course length.
A student may receive financial aid for up to two graduate degrees.

Progress Review

Student Finance will review each student's academic progress at least once per
semester and will send a notice, in writing, if a student has not maintained satisfactory
academic progress as outlined above.

A student whose financial aid/loans have been suspended as a result of failing to
comply with this policy, and who feels that unusual and unavoidable circumstances led
to this suspension, may appeal to the Financial Aid/Academic Progress Committee.
Student Finance will advise the student, in writing, of the committee's decision.

International Student Deposit

In addition to regular University charges, international students must provide an
International Student Deposit of $3,000 U.S. This applies to all international students
except documented permanent residents of the U.S. or residents of Canada. The deposit
must be received by the Student Finance Office before a U.S. Immigration Form 1-20
is sent to the prospective student for entry to the U. S. Because mail service from many
foreign countries takes time, this deposit should be sent at least eight weeks prior to
enrollment. This deposit, once paid, remains untouched (with interest paid at the rate
of two percent) until the student graduates, withdraws from Southern, or is unable to
pay his or her student account, at which time the international deposit will be applied
to the student's account. If the student's account has been paid in full, the deposit will
be refunded after the final statement is issued.

Credit Cards

The Cashier's Office honors VISA, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express
cards for making payments on a student's account. No cash withdrawal service is

supplied: 1) name of credit card being used, 2) cardholder's name, 3) credit card
number, as well as the three-digit CID number located on the back of the credit card,
4) expiration date, and 5) credit card billing address.

Summer Residence Hall

A refundable deposit of $1 50 is required of each student. This deposit is held in
reserve until the student permanently moves out of the residence hall. Seventh-day
Adventist conference-sponsored students enrolled part-time in the summer program are
exempt from this requirement.

The rental charge per person for dual occupancy is $ 1 0.00 per day. When available,
single occupancy is permitted at $15.00 per day. Room charges will be posted to a
student' s account monthly, based on the number of day s a room was occupied/reserved
during the month.

Pets and children of students are not permitted to stay in the residence halls.

University Apartments

The University apartments are available on a first-come first-served basis. Rental

arrangements are made with the office of the Vice President for Financial
Administration. The first month's rent and a $300 housing deposit is required before
a rental agreement is issued. An additional $5 per key deposit must be paid before keys
to the apartment are issued. These deposits are fully refundable unless there are unpaid
rental charges, cleaning charges and/or unreturned keys. Additional charges will be
assessed if the deposit is insufficient to cover these costs. Semester rental charges will
be posted to the student' s account to be paid monthly. Subj ect to change without notice .

Books and Supplies

Textbooks, school supplies, and other class materials are available at the Campus
Shop.

Refunds

If a student officially withdraws during the course or semester, a refund of tuition
for hours dropped is made according to the date on the withdrawal form. All required
signatures must be obtained and the form must be filed with the Records and
Advisement Office.

Tuition refunds, when a student withdraws from a course, are calculated as follows :

Students withdrawing from all classes will be charged a cancellation of program fee
of $100.

Release of Transcripts or Diplomas

It is the policy of the university to withhold transcripts, diplomas, certificates of
completion, and other records if a student has an unpaid or past-due account at the
school, any unpaid account for which the university has co-signed, or if a federal loan
borrower has not completed a Federal Stafford Loan Exit Interview.

When payment is made by personal check, the transcript will be held for up to ten
working days to allow the check to clear.

Any student that has an amount that has been written off due to an uncollectible
account, settlement, or lost account must pay the written off amount prior to enrolling
in any class or being accepted or re-accepted as a graduate student.

Any student with an account that has not been paid in full due to a bankruptcy filing,
must be paid in full before acceptance or enrollment unless (1 ) the student has received
a hardship discharge from the bankruptcy court and provides a copy of the same to the
University or (2) the student can demonstrate to the satisfaction of the University that
his or her account falls outside of the educational benefit discharge exception of Section

School of Computing

Dean: Jared Bruckner

Faculty: Jared Bruckner, Richard Halterman, Timothy Korson, P. Willard Munger,

Eduardo Urbina,
Adjunct Faculty: Brian Willard

The Master of Software Engineering (MSE) at Southern Adventist University
emphasizes the fundamental principles of the development of large complex software
systems taught within the context of the most up-to-date software technology. Currently
this means that our program focuses on object-oriented and component-based software
development techniques and that graduates will be well prepared for jobs requiring
skills in Internet technologies, OO analysis and design, domain and use case modeling,
framework development and pattern application, iterative/incremental processes, Java,
CORBA, C++, UML, and a complete range of CASE tools. More importantly, students
will be taught the underlying principles of software engineering so that they can assist
their employers in the adoption of new software technologies as they become available.

MASTER OF SOFTWARE ENGINEERING

Objectives:

1 . To provide a unique, high-quality Master of Software Engineering program that
teaches skills in great demand by the software development industry. Such
programs are currently underrepresented in the higher education community.

2. To produce software development professionals who have formed the moral and
intellectual capacities to effectively manage the complex technical, legal, and
ethical situations common to the rapidly changing field of software technology.

3. While encouraging all qualified students to apply, one specific goal of the
program is to increase the number of qualified software professionals available
to lead out in developing software systems needed by the denomination.

Prerequisites for Admission

In addition to the admission requirements for graduate study (see page 10), a
candidate for the Master of Software Engineering program will comply with the
following requirements:

1 . Competence in at least two high-level programming languages with one being
an object-oriented language (work experience may be used). Competence in
programming must be at a level expected of students having completed a two-
semester sequence in one of the languages.

2. Background in computing representative of material covered in SENG 501,
SENG 502, and SENG 503. Applicants who lack elements of this background
may be admitted provisionally and be assigned prerequisite courses, completion
of which will be a prerequisite to regular admission status.

3 . For regular admission a cumulative 3 .00 GPA on undergraduate coursework and
the undergraduate GPA times 200 plus the combined verbal and quantitative
sections of the Graduate Record Exam General Test (GRE) must total 1600 or
better. Highly qualified applicants with work experience or who are entering
graduate school after a number of years away from a college or university will
be given special consideration and greater flexibility regarding admission
requirements. Students may also be admitted provisionally or with non-degree

status. (See pages 10 and 11 for details.)

4. A minimum TOEFL score of 550 (paper-based) 213 (computer-based) for
students for whom English is not the first language.

5. International students with TOEFL scores between 500 (paper-based) 173
(computer-based) and 549 (paper-based) 212 (computer-based) may be admitted
provisionally. Students in this category will be required to study English as a
Second Language (ESL). With permission of the instructor, a student may take
courses in his/her major while taking ESL courses. A maximum of 12 credit
hours earned while under provisional language status may be applied to the
student's degree. A student is cleared of provisional language status when
his/her TOEFL scores reach 550 or when an ESL grade of B or higher has been
earned for two semesters.

Application Deadline

Standard admission requires that all application materials have a deadline of March 1
for the fall semester and October 1 for the winter semester. Late applicants may be
accepted at any time, depending on the availability of space in the program.

Graduation Requirements

A candidate must:

1. File an application to graduate, which must be given to the Records and
Advisement Office at least two months prior to the anticipated graduation date.

2. Complete the program with a minimum grade point average of 3 .00.

3. Submit an approved Software Development Portfolio.

Software Development Portfolio

As part of the program, each student is required to develop and submit for approval
a portfolio describing significant software development projects in which the student
was involved. Software professionals taking the program part time may be able to
integrate their work experience with the development of much of their portfolio. Full-
time students will typically gain the experience needed for their portfolio through course
projects and work opportunities. The portfolio will include a section on the professional
development and growth of the student as well as other topics pertinent to the student
as he or she continues or begins a career in software engineering. Specific guidelines
detailing expected content are available on the School of Computing web page
(cs.southern.edu), but approval of the portfolio is at the discretion of the student's
Portfolio Committee. Internships and part-time work are encouraged as they reinforce
what the student has learned and allows students to earn money while meeting their
course requirements.

Graduate Assistantship

A limited number of full-time graduate assistantships are available to assist
promising and deserving students. Assistantships will be awarded on a semester basis
only, and students must reapply each semester for renewal of their assistantship award.
Renewal of the award is based on academic performance, previous service performance,
and is at the discretion of the Dean of the School of Computing. Graduate assistantships
help provide graduate students with financial resources necessary to complete their
degrees. Students who hold assistantships experience education and professional
benefits. The responsibilities and benefits of assistantships vary; but in general,
students gain further instruction in techniques in their fields, hone their research skills,
acquire pedagogical experience necessary for an academic career, develop professional
skills, including leadership, interpersonal effectiveness, and performance evaluation.

Class Schedule

Courses generally follow the semester calendar of the University. Late afternoon
and evening classes may be scheduled. Most classes meet once per week.

Software Engineering Certificate

The Graduate Certificate program in Software Engineering consists of five core
courses plus one to three additional courses (18 to 24 credit hours) depending on the
