Something to keep in mind —

Although this CATALOG is not a textbook, you will refer to it often during
your university career. It describes the academic program you select and the
requirements you must fulfill to graduate. Before you enroll at Southern or
register for any succeeding
semester, you should satisfy
yourself that you are familiar
with this catalog.

Two important parts of your
academic life are General
Education and your field of
concentration. You will find
it especially valuable to read
carefully the sections of the
catalog that explain these
programs.

Every attempt has been made

to prepare this catalog so

everyone may understand it,

but some of the information

may still be confusing to you.

Also, because changes may

occur in your program

requirements, you may

encounter contradictions between this catalog and advice that you later

receive. Talk to someone about the sections of this catalog that are not clear.

The first person to talk to is your academic adviser. You may also find help
from the chair/dean of your department/school. It may be necessary to visit
with the Director and Assistant Director of Records and Advisement. The Vice
President for Academic Administration is also available to assist you. If you
need explanations about financial questions, talk with the Director or Assistant
Director of Student Finance.

Remember that you are the one who selects your program of study and it is
your responsibility to know the graduation requirements and meet them.

Do not lose this catalog. It is your "university manual."

This Is Southern
Adventist University

Southern Adventist University is a co-educational institution established by the
Seventh-day Adventist Church.

MISSION STATEMENT
The Mission

Southern Adventist University, serving local, national, and international
constituents, provides learning in a Christian environment where 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

EDUCATIONAL PHILOSOPHY AND OBJECTIVES

The purpose of higher education in the Seventh-day Adventist Church is rooted
in a comprehensive theological understanding of humanity in the world. The
following is a summary of this understanding:

(1 ) Seventh-day Adventists believe that God is the Creator and Sustainer of the
earth and its inhabitants. He is the Source of all knowledge.

(2) Created in the image of God for the purpose of communion with Him,
mankind possessed harmonious physical, mental, spiritual, and social
attributes.

(3) As a result of sin, these attributes were seriously marred, but God in His love
provided a redemptive plan for the restoration of His image in humanity, thus
preparing individuals for eternal personal fellowship with God.

In the context of this theological understanding, education is viewed as an
essential element of redemption, including an awareness of each individual's
relationship to God and a commitment of service to mankind. Education,
consequently, must focus on developing the whole person. Southern Adventist
University attempts to provide a spiritual, intellectual, social, and physical
environment which encourages this development through the following specific
objectives.

Spiritual

The spiritual goal of Southern Adventist University is to enable students to grasp
Christian beliefs and values as understood by the Seventh-day Adventist Church.

Southern Adventist University is operated by the Southern Union Conference of Seventh-day Adventists.

This Is Southern Adventist University 7

Along with three hours of mandatory religion course work for each year of
attendance, students have religious convocations and various opportunities for
Christian fellowship and service to help them better internalize these ideals.

Intellectual

The intellectual goal of Southern Adventist University is to help students
confront the ideas and values which underlie civilization. Course requirements
and general education options aim at broadening and deepening the students'
outlook. An honors program challenges the most capable students, while
academic awards recognize a range of scholarly achievements.

Occupational

The occupational goal of Southern Adventist University is to prepare students
for service in a practical world. Although that does not always mean specific
career orientation, the major and minor course work offers useful competencies
as well as skills related to specific vocations.

Social

Regarding the relationship of individuals to society, the goal of Southern
Adventist University is to encourage students to attain the social maturity
necessary for successful family and community living. Southern Adventist
University provides activities and courses aimed at developing healthy
interpersonal relations, communication skills, and decision-making abilities. This
goal includes a commitment by the University to involve its students and staff in
service activities which benefit both its regional constituency and local
community.

Physical

Regarding personal health, the goal of Southern Adventist University is to
educate students to be active in promoting their own physical well-being. Southern
Adventist University is smoke-, alcohol-, and drug-free by policy, and the cafeteria
offers a meatless diet. Health-oriented courses and activities combine to encourage
a balance of exercise, rest, diet, study, work, and recreation.

HISTORY

In 1892 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 1896 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 in Hamilton 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 and the name was changed
to Southern Missionary College. In 1982 the name was changed to Southern
College of Seventh-day Adventists.

In 1996 graduate studies were added to the curriculum and the name was
changed again, this time to Southern Adventist University.

8 This Is Southern Adventist University

Students who plan to teach in elementary or secondary schools should refer to
the School of Education and Psychology section of the catalog for admission
requirements to the Teacher Education Program.

ADMISSION TO THE SCHOOL OF BUSINESS AND MANAGEMENT

Students majoring in business and management should refer to the School of
Business and Management for requirements pertaining to the admission into the
School.

ADMISSION OF TRANSFER STUDENTS

Students wishing to transfer to Southern Adventist University from another
accredited college or university must follow the same application procedure as
other students. Transfer credits may be applied toward the requirements for a
degree when the student has satisfactorily completed a minimum of twelve
semester hours in residence. Credit by examination taken at other colleges Will be
accepted according to Southern Adventist University standards (see 'University
Credit by Examination* in the Academic Policies section of the catalog on page
46). A maximum of 72 semester hours may be accepted from a college where the
highest degree offered is the associate degree. Background deficiencies revealed
by transcripts and entrance examinations will be given individual attention.

Credit will be granted for courses taken at institutions which are not regionally
accredited only after the student has completed at least 16 semester hours at
Southern Adventist University with a 2.00 or better average. Only those courses
that are comparable to Southern Adventist University courses and for which the
student has earned a "C grade or better will be accepted.

A student who has been dismissed from another institution because of poor
scholarship or citizenship, or who is on probation from that institution, is not
generally eligible for admission until he can qualify for readmission to the
institution from which he has been dismissed. Transfer students must submit both
their college and high school official transcripts to the Admissions Office before
being admitted to registration. All transfer students must show evidence of ACT
(American College Test) or SAT (Scholastic Aptitude Test) prior to registration at
Southern Adventist University.

ADMISSION OF SPECIAL STUDENTS

Mature individuals who do not meet the above University admission require-
ments and who do not wish to become degree candidates, or otherwise qualified
students who may desire limited credit for transfer to another institution of higher
learning, may register as special students. A special student may enroll for a
maximum of five semester hours per term.

EXTENSION CLASSES

Extension classes are university classes offered on the campuses of Southern
Union academies as an opportunity for seniors to earn university credit in skills
areas that will fulfill part of the General Education requirements at Southern
Adventist University, Instructors are academy teachers who are qualified with
appropriate credentials and experience.

To enroll in an extension class, students must be members of the senior class
with a grade point average of 3.00 or above during the years of their secondary
education.

Admissions 13

The extension classes must duplicate as nearly as possible their university
counterparts in content, degree of difficulty, testing and grading. The use of formal
Advanced Placement (AP) courses may be used where such are available.

Academies that would like to participate in this program must contact the
Academic Dean to make application.

ADMISSION OF INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS

An international student applying to Southern Adventist University must have
completed the equivalent of a United States high school (secondary) education.
The student is required to list only the institutions and dates attended on the
application forms, but will not be accepted to Southern Adventist University until
the University has received original records or official copies of all credits,
degrees, diplomas and other credentials, with validation by school or national
officials. These should be in the original language, accompanied by a translation
(not an interpretation) in English, and certified by an American Embassy official if
possible.

The Director of Records and Advisement of Southern Adventist University will
evaluate academic documents received for international students based on the
recommendations found in the World Education series of booklets published by
the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers and
Patterns of Seventh-day Adventist Education, published by the General Conference
of Seventh-day Adventists.

Students from countries which administer the G.C.E. (General Certificate of
Education) examinations must have earned five (5) or more *0* level academic
subject passes (generally at one sitting, with marks 1 through 6 or A through D).
Subjects must include English, a natural science, and three others selected from
a second language, mathematics, science, and social studies.

Proficiency in English, both written and oral, must be proven before admission.
This may be done by taking: (1) the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL)
paper-pencil test; (2) the TOEFL Computer Based Test (CBT). Students whose
TOEFL score is 550 (CBT 213) meet the official admission level, but students with
scores between 450 and 549 (CBT 133-212) may be admitted only on condition
that they will enroll for special English language proficiency classes. These
students must enroll as special advisees of the English Department which
administers the language classes. Students whose TOEFL scores are below 450
(CBT 1 33) are not eligible for admission to the University. The ESL adviser will
retest all students who arrive without TOEFL scores or who do not meet the above
criteria. (Students who present a Michigan test score for admission to the ESL
program will be placed accordingly. See criteria for placement.)

All ESL students on F-1 visas must register for no fewer than 12 credit hours;
therefore, ESL students in the Intermediate level will register for a minimum of 1 2
credit hours: 10 credit hours in the ESL program and 2-3 credit hours in a course
designated by the ESL adviser in the English Department. ESL students in the
Advanced level will register for a minimum of 12 credit hours: 7 credit hours in
the ESL program and 5-6 hours in courses designated by the ESL adviser in the
English Department in consultation with an adviser in the student's concentration.
For details, see the English Department sections of the catalog.

In addition to the regular University expenses, there are other expenses for an
international student. (Please refer to the Financial Information section of the
catalog.)

14 Admissions

According to the current immigration laws, international students with student
visas may work on campus provided that employment is available, and provided
that the student is enrolled in a full course of study (minimum of 12 hours) for
each semester in attendance and is making progress to the completion of a degree.
On-campus employment is limited up to 20 hours per week when there are
regular classes held. Such employment may be full time (up to 40 hours per week)
during school vacation periods provided that the student intends to register for the
subsequent academic semester. The Human Resources Office will monitor hours
worked and notify the student and the campus employer when a student works in
excess of 20 hours per week. Spouses may work only if they have student visas
of their own or have immigrant visas.

International students on non-immigrant visas are required by law to secure
permission before accepting any off-campus employment.

International students should not leave their homeland until they have in their
possession:

1 . An admissions letter of acceptance from Southern Adventist University

2. I-20 form (Immigration and Naturalization Service)

3. A valid passport

4. A valid visa to enter the United States

5. Sufficient funds for the first year at Southern Adventist University (in addition
to the international security deposit of $4,000 U.S. required of all non-U.S.
citizens except for citizens of Canada and Bermuda).

APPLICATION PROCEDURE FOR ADMISSION

♦ Prospective students should request application forms from the Office of
Admissions or can apply on the Internet at www.southern.edu.

♦ Completed applications should be returned to the Office of Admissions with an
application fee of $25.

♦ It is the student's responsibility to request any former schools (high school and
college) to forward transcripts to the Office of Admissions in support of the
application. These will become the property of the University. NO TRAN-
SCRIPT WILL BE ACCEPTED DIRECTLY FROM AN APPLICANT.

♦ Students transferring from another college or university must show evidence
of ACT (American College Test) or SAT (Scholastic Aptitude Test) prior to
registration at Southern Adventist University.

♦ Upon receipt and evaluation of the application, transcripts of credits, recom-
mendations, and test scores, the Admissions Office will notify the applicant of
the action taken.

WHEN TO APPLY OR REAPPLY

New students are urged to submit applications no later than the last term of the
senior year of high school. Applications submitted at the beginning of the senior
year will sometimes enable the University to suggest ways of strengthening the
student's preparation. Because of the difficulty sometimes encountered during the
summer months in obtaining necessary transcripts, test scores, and recommenda-
tions, more time will be necessary for processing late applications.

A student must reapply, through the Office of Admissions, if they have been out
of school for one semester or longer. The regular application fee of $25 will be
required.

Student Life and Services

A university is not only classroom instruction, but also a mode of association.
The effectiveness of the University program is enhanced if students develop their
interests and meet their needs through participation in the nonacademic activities
provided. Students are encouraged to take advantage of the facilities and
opportunities planned for their cultural, social, and spiritual growth.

CAMPUS SAFETY

The Campus Safety department safeguards campus residents, property, and
facilities. Its responsibilities include fire prevention and detection, traffic control,
campus escort service, assistance with vehicle jump starts and lockouts, vehicle
registration, card entry, transportation to the airport, bus terminal and medical
appointments (fees charged per transport), the maintenance of campus safety and
order. Campus Safety is also responsible for the public address system, recording
of programs and classroom presentations as per request. Campus Safety is located
in room 108 of Lynn Wood Hall.

CAREER SERVICES

Key elements in selecting an academic major and career are discovering one's
interests and abilities. The Counseling and Testing Center invites students to
discuss career options, self-assessment, aptitudes, interests, and goals with a
counselor. Career services are available to all currently enrolled students and
graduates. Appointments can be made by visiting or calling the Counseling and
Testing Center.

The Counseling and Testing Center offers assistance in r6sum£ and cover letter
preparation, graduate school and employment application processing, and job
interview preparation. Recruiters from professional schools and businesses
regularly visit the University to interview seniors. Annual job opportunities and
health career fairs provide students with opportunities to network with employers.

CHAPLAIN'S OFFICE

Any student of Southern Adventist University has the opportunity to enrich
his/her personal relationship with Jesus through Campus Ministries activities.
Through the programs coordinated from the Chaplain's Office, students can
engage in a wide variety of on- and off-campus spiritual activities. CARE ministries
is the acronym for Collegiate Adventists Reaching Everyone. Student leaders
working with the campus chaplain direct out-reach activities such as Campus
Ministries, CABL (Collegiate Adventist for Better Living), Destiny Drama Company,
Collegiate Missions, and numerous religious programs.

Southern Adventist University enjoys a reputation of having a strong
commitment to mission service. There are opportunities for short-term mission
projects as well as traditional Student Missionary positions or volunteer Task Force
positions. The Student Missionary assignments from the world divisions are
published by the General Conference Adventist Volunteer Center on their web
site. Students interested in any mission or Task Force position may work through
the Chaplain's Office for information and placement in mission positions.

The campus chaplain serves as a pastor for the University campus. The chaplain
is available for spiritual counseling, personal and relationship concerns, or any
situation in which students desire personal and professional counseling. It is the

Student Life and Services 1 7

desire of the Chaplain's Office to provide a safe, confidential setting for students
to discuss personal issues.

Since many university students choose a life partner while here at the
University, the Chaplain's Office provides various premarital inventories and
counseling programs to aid in the establishment of healthy Christian relationships.

CONCERT-LECTURE SERIES

Each year a concert-lecture series featuring significant artists and lecturers is
provided for students, generally in connection with the weekly convocation
program. The cost of admission for students is included in the tuition.

CONVOCATION

In private parochial education it has been shown that elimination of residence
hall worships and school-wide convocations is the first step toward the separation
of the school from its sponsoring church. Convocation exercises in the residence
halls and for the entire student body serve educational and spiritual purposes.
They also provide an element of unity which is one of the most desirable features
of private education such as is found at Southern Adventist University. The
spiritual emphasis weeks and the weekend church services assist in the spiritual
growth of the students. Students are required to attend these services regularly.
Failure to do so will jeopardize the student's current status and readmission
privileges.

COUNSELING AND TESTING SERVICE

During registration each student is assigned an academic adviser who will assist
in program planning and give advice and guidance on academic questions
throughout the school year. Students may also seek counsel concerning academic
or personal problems from any member of the faculty.

Students with personal problems who wish assistance from a professional
counselor should contact the Counseling and Testing Center. Personnel trained in
counseling and testing are available to those with social and personal problems.

The testing service works in close cooperation with the counseling service in
providing guidance information to both students and counselors. Students are
urged to take advantage of the testing service as a means of obtaining information
useful in personal, educational, and career planning.

Southern Adventist University is an established non-Saturday National Test
Center for the administration of entrance examinations for students applying to
graduate and professional schools. Contact the Counseling and Testing Center for
test applications and test date information.

DINING

For the promotion of student health and enjoyment, Southern Adventist
University provides a complete vegetarian cafeteria service, organized to serve
student needs. The spacious dining hall is an inviting center of social and cultural
life at the University, and service by the cafeteria staff is available for the many
student and faculty social functions. Auxiliary dining rooms are available for
meetings of various student or faculty organizations. The Food Service Department
also operates two vegetarian fast-food shops on the campus. K.R.*s Place fs
convenient^ located in the Student Center and the Campus Kitchen is at the
nearby Fleming Plaza.

1 8 Student Life and Services

DISCIPLINE

Discipline refers to any action taken by Southern Adventist University relative
to a student's social standing. All student disciplinary procedures are under the
direction of the vice-president for Student Services, who works in general with the
residence hall deans in handling student disciplinary cases. The vice-president for
Student Services may separate a student from the school, suspend a student, deny
re-admission, or place a student on citizenship probation. For further details,
consult the Student Handbook.

HEALTH SERVICE

The Health Service is directed by a nurse practitioner under the supervision of
a physician and the vice president for Student Services. The nurse practitioner
works during the day and two live-in registered nurses take turns being on-call
during the evenings, nights, and weekends, for emergencies. The physician will
see students at Health Service at pre-arranged times.

Health Service is available to all students taking six or more hours (three hours
in the summer), all residence hall occupants, and all students with school
insurance including their spouses and dependents ages 1 2 and above who are on
school insurance.

An infirmary is available to all residence hall occupants at no charge. Visits for
minor illnesses or injuries, wound care, blood pressure checks, and equipment
loans are free. Visits requiring prescriptions or expanded medical care, physicals,
lab tests, immunizations, and medications or supplies will have a charge. Health
Service may bill some health insurances but the students should plan to file their
own insurance. Health Service charges and prescriptions from Winn Dixie
Pharmacy may be placed on the student's account.

Health Service makes referrals and arranges transportation to area dentists,
doctors agencies, and hospitals.

University policy requires all students to have adequate health insurance. This
can be done at registration (a) by enrolling in the student injury and sickness
insurance plan, or (b) by showing proof of coverage by another adequate policy
and signing a waiver card. All international students including spouses and
dependents must purchase the Student Accident and Sickness Insurance plan. All
students living in the residence hall or student family housing must purchase the
insurance or show proof of coverage by another policy. Spouses of students and
those taking less than six hours may choose to purchase the plan. If a student is
taking six credit hours or more and has not signed a waiver card, he/she is
automatically enrolled in the student insurance plan. A policy brochure
describing complete benefits and terms is available prior to registration.

ORIENTATION PROGRAM

Southern Adventist University has a personal interest in the success of the
student desiring a university education. There is much that the student must do to
get acquainted with the academic, social, and religious life of the University by
perusing this catalog and the Southern Adventist University Student Handbook.
Instruction and counsel are given which will help the student better understand
the University program and what is expected of him/her as a citizen of the
University community.

Orientation for new students is held prior to registration for the fall term. It
includes examinations and instruction helpful in course planning. The student is
introduced to the facilities, purposes, and functions of the University. Social

Student Life and Services 1 9

occasions are also provided when students may meet faculty members and fellow
students. All new freshman and transferring students are required to attend the
orientation program.

PHOTO RELEASE

By registering at Southern Adventist University, students authorize the use and
reproduction by the University, or anyone authorized by the University, of any
pictorial images (including conventional, video, and digital photography) taken of
them while enrolled at Southern Adventist University, without compensation. All
negatives, positives, and prints shall constitute Southern Adventist University
property, solely and completely.

REHABILITATION ACT (1973) Section 504: Services for Students
with Special Needs

Students with disabilities should contact the Center for Learning Success when
they arrive on campus by calling ext. 2574 or 2838 or by visiting the office on the
second floor of the library. Southern Adventist University is in compliance with
Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act and is dedicated to the elimination of
architectural and prejudicial barriers which prevent any qualified person from
attending. Furthermore, SAU has established the Center for Learning Success 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 and confidentially identified themselves as
having a qualifying disabilities or to those who have not provided the Center for
Learning Success with appropriate documentation of their disabilities.

RESIDENCE HALL LIVING

Living in a university residence hall with its daily 'give and take" prepares the
student to meet life with equanimity, teaches respect for the rights and opinions
of others, and offers first-hand experience in adjusting to a social group. Three
residence halls that serve the needs of our students are: Talge Hall, Thatcher Hall,
and Thatcher South.

To assure students this beneficial experience, the University requires those
students who take more than three semester hours of class work and who are
unmarried, under 23 years of age, and not living with their parents or other
approved relatives in the vicinity, to reside in one of the residence halls. Those
over the age 23 may be asked to find alternate housing either in Student Family
Housing or off-campus.

SOCIAL ACTIVITIES AND ORGANIZATIONS

The Director of Student Life and Activities plans social activities in consultation
with the Student Activities Committee. Additional social programs are sponsored
during the year by clubs and organizations.

In addition to the Student Association, more than 30 campus organizations
provide opportunities for enrichment, leadership training, and enjoyment. They
include church-related organizations— Campus Ministries; Student Ministerial
Association; clubs related to academic interests sponsored by the departments;
social clubs— Sigma Theta Chi (women), Upsilon Delta Phi (men), Black Christian
Union, Christian Veterans Association and the Latin American Club, and special
interest or hobby clubs.

20 Student Life and Services

STANDARDS OF CONDUCT

In harmony with the objectives of the University, high standards of behavior are
maintained to encourage the development of genuine Christian character. Mature
Christian students of sound spiritual and social integrity appreciate standards that
elevate and ennoble. Admission to Southern Adventist University is a privilege that
requires the acceptance of and compliance with published and announced
regulations. Only those whose principles and interests are in harmony with the
ideals of the University and who willingly subscribe to the social program as
ordered are welcomed. It therefore follows that since students at Southern
Adventist University receive an education subsidized by the Seventh-day Adventist
Church, those who engage in activities determined to be detrimental to the church
on or off campus will not be knowingly accepted or retained.

A student who is out of harmony with the social policies of the University, who
is uncooperative, and whose attitude gives evidence of an unresponsive nature
may be advised to withdraw without specific charge.

Each student is expected to become acquainted with the standards of conduct
published in the Southern Adventist University Student Handbook. The handbook
includes levels of social discipline and the appeal route. A copy may be obtained
from the office of the Vice President for Student Services. Interim announcements
of policies adopted by the administration are of equal force with those listed in
official publications.

STUDENT ASSOCIATION

Every undergraduate student at Southern Adventist University who is taking
eight or more semester hours of class work is a member of the Student Association
with voting privileges in the election of officers. The association affords
opportunities for leadership development and for cooperation in achieving the
objectives of Southern Adventist University. The association assists the University
administration and faculty in the implementation of policies and assumes
responsibility in giving direction to campus activities entrusted to it. The
association's activities are coordinated and communicated through the Student
Senate and cabinet and their several committees. The activities and responsibilities
of the officers and the detailed organization of the Student Association are outlined
in the Student Association Constitution and Bylaws.

STUDENT EMPLOYMENT SERVICE

Southern Adventist University encourages every student to balance work and
study. If a student wants to work, is physically and emotionally able to work, and
has arranged his class schedule to accommodate a reasonable work schedule,
he/she should be able to obtain employment on campus. Students seeking
employment should contact the Human Resources/Student Employment Office.

STUDENT PUBLICATIONS AND PRODUCTIONS

As a vital part of its community of learning, Southern Adventist University
sponsors the production of a variety of media by its students. When exercised in
the spirit of Christian fellowship, responsible freedom of expression and debate of
issues enhances the university community. Editors and producers are encouraged
to express themselves? freely within the parameters of the philosophy, standards,
and mission statement of the University.

Student media are the voices of both students and faculty, representing the
visual and creative arts, both in print and non-print formats. The student media

Student Life and Services 2 1

provides a marketplace of ideas in a university environment. Student media serve
not only the current residents of the campus, but also document the culture and
history of the institution.

Approved student-produced media on campus are the Festival Studios
(multimedia year in review), Joker (pictorial directory), Numerique (student phone
directory), Southern Accent (student newspaper), Southern Memories (yearbook),
and Campus Chatter (weekly announcements). Southern Adventist University is
the legal publisher of all of the approved student-produced media.

are often scheduled in conjunction with a concert.

CLASSIC FILM SERIES

Christian education involves the difficult challenge of learning to live in a
secular society while remaining critical of its values. To this end, the Classic Film
series, sponsored by Student Services and the History Department, seeks to present
films that are historically significant but also informative and entertaining. They are
intended to augment the educational and cultural experience of students at the

are designed to update students, faculty, and the community on current biological
research as well as to illustrate to students how biological knowledge is acquired
through research. The Natural History Lectures are less technical and provide a
general understanding of organismic and ecological biology, either by a
description of the plants or animals in a certain region or an account of the
behavior, habits, or ecology of certain species.

PREREQUISITE FOR TAKING UPPER DIVISION CLASSES

Students must complete forty semester hours of 100 and 200 level courses
(lower division) before enrolling in a 300 or 400 level course (upper division). The
English Composition and mathematics requirements in area A, Basic Academic

classes.

GENERAL EDUCATION

General Education is an important part of what students experience at Southern
Adventist University. It is provided through several programs, four of which are
described here— Writing Across the Curriculum, Community Service, General
Education Course Requirements, and Southern Scholars.

Writing Across the Curriculum: The Writing Across the Curriculum program at
Southern Adventist University is one of the longest-running programs of its kind
in the nation. The goal of the program is to assist studentsin developing writing
skills suitable to various disciplines. Such skills will also make students more
competitive in the job market. Thus, candidates for the bachelor's degree must
complete three writing-emphasis classes as outlined in the general education
requirements. These classes are carefully tailored to emphasize personal growth
in writing skills through both spontaneous and planned writing exercises. Students
should also expect writing requirements in courses other than those designated as
writing-emphasis courses.

Community Service: Promotion of voluntary, unselfish service to mankind is a
thread that runs through all programs of study at Southern Adventist University.
Volunteerism, however, cannot be mandated. It can only be encouraged. Students
at Southern are encouraged to volunteer for community service through
government, philanthropic, cultural, political, church, medical, educational,
environmental, and other organizations and agencies or through individual
projects. Based on nominations from each academic department/school,
Community Service Awards are presented each year at the annual Awards
Convocation to students who have made an exceptional contribution of time and
effort in serving others.

General Education Course Requirements: While recognizing the validity of
many different general education programs, the faculty of Southern Adventist
University have designed the following sequence that provides development of
academic skills and opportunities for self-fulfillment, and conveys basic values of
both the Seventh-day Adventist Church and western civilization. Students may
exercise considerable latitude when selecting courses to comply with General
Education requirements. A comprehensive general education test is required of all
four-year seniors.

AMERICAN HUMANICS

In the fall of 1997, Southern Adventist University affiliated with American
Humanics, to provide non-profit management certification for graduates meeting
the requirements for entry-level management positions in the non-profit sector.
Southern Adventist University is a joint participant in the Southeast Consortium
for Nonprofit Administration, Education, and Training along with Covenant
College and the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. This joint partnership
affords Southern Adventist University students the opportunity to meet curricular
and co-curricular requirements for American Humanics certification. American
Humanics and its many non-profit partners provide scholarship and job
opportunities to those working towards certification. Dr. Pam Harris coordinates
the program as the campus executive director. See page 155 for further
information.

SOUTHERN SCHOLARS (Honors Program):

The honors program is designed for students who bring to their baccalaureate
studies a high degree of motivation and intellectual curiosity. Special projects,
inter-disciplinary studies, and designated honors courses provide a challenging
and intellectually stimulating educational experience. Degrees of depth and
breadth are attained in this experience beyond those normally attained in regular
baccalaureate studies.

The program is administered by an Honors Committee which admits students
to the program and discontinues honors status of those who fail to maintain
minimum program standards. Its members also advise individual Southern
Scholars and continually monitor their progress.

Eligible students will be invited to become Southern Scholars during registration.
Freshmen are eligible if they have a high school GPA of 3.70 or higher. Other
students must have completed at least 31 and at most 62 semester hours
(exceptions may be granted under special conditions) with a cumulative GPA of
3.50 or higher.

To continue as Southern Scholars, students must complete a minimum of twelve
credits each semester and thirty-one credits each calendar year. They must also
enroll in appropriate honors sequence courses, receive a B (3.00) average or
higher in the honors sequence courses and maintain a minimum cumulative GPA
of 3.50. All honors students are expected to graduate within a four-year period
unless extenuating circumstances justify an extension by the honors committee.

Ordinarily, all courses of the honors sequence must be taken in residence.
Limited exceptions may be made by the honors committee in the case of transfer
students. Students already enrolled at Southern Adventist University who wish to
take honors sequence classes at another institution must secure prior approval
from the honors committee.

After completing one year in the honors program, Southern Scholars may
receive a waiver for the cost of auditing one class each semester that they remain
in the program. Once having earned junior status and having finished one year in
the program, Southern Scholars will receive a tuition refund equivalent to one
three-hour class for four semesters if they are enrolled full-time. The "per hour"
rate for a 1 6-hour class load will be the basis for calculating the refund. Southern
Scholars also receive a 100 percent tuition waiver for Honors Seminar, HMNT 451
and 452. Refer to the scholarship on page 287.

PREPROFESSIONAL CURRICULA

Southern Adventist University offers preprofessional and pre-technical programs
in a wide variety of fields which may prepare students for admission to
professional schools or to enter technical careers. The following nondegree pre-
professional curricula are offered at Southern Adventist University:
Anesthesia Optometry

Dentistry Osteopathic Medicine

Law Pharmacy

Medicine Veterinary Medicine

Detailed requirements for non-degree preprofessional curricula are outlined by
department or in the section on "Interdepartmental Programs" (See Index).

Associate degrees in Allied Health are available to students who fulfill
preprofessional requirements for programs designated in the Allied Health section.
Because preprofessional and technical admission requirements may vary from one

Academic Policies 39

professional school to another, students should become acquainted with the
admission requirements of their chosen school.

REGISTRATION

Students are expected to register during the scheduled registration periods
designated in the school calendar. Registration is complete only after they have
finished all procedures and returned registration forms to the Records Office. New
students are required to participate in the orientation activities.

Late Registration, Permission to register late must be obtained from the Director
of Records and Advisement. Students failing to register during the scheduled
registration periods will be charged a late registration fee. The course load of a late
registrant may be reduced according to the amount of class work missed. No
student may register after two weeks of the semester have elapsed.

Changes in Registration. To avoid changes in registration, students should
carefully consider the program of courses necessary to meet their objectives. To
avoid subsequent adjustments, a balance should be maintained between the
course load, work program, and extracurricular activities.

To make program changes, students must obtain the appropriate change of
registration voucher at the Records and Advisement Office, obtain the necessary
signatures indicating approval of the change, and return the form to the Records
Office. Course changes and complete withdrawals from the school become
effective on the date the voucher is filed at the Records Office. A fee will be
assessed for each change in program after the first week of instruction.

A student may not change from one section to another of the same course
without the approval of the instructor.

A student may withdraw from a class up to two weeks after midterm and receive
a grade of *W* automatically. A student withdrawing from a class after that date
and up to two weeks before the last day of classes will be assigned a grade of *W*
or *WF* by the teacher. The grade for any withdrawal during the final two weeks
of the semester will automatically be "¥:*

Auditing Courses. With the approval of the department/school, students may
register on an audit basis in courses (other than private lessons) for which they are
qualified. Auditors are to be admitted to classes of limited enrollment only if there
are places after all students who wish to enroll for credit have been
accommodated. Class attendance is expected but examinations and reports may
be omitted. With the approval of the instructor, a student may change a course
registration from audit to credit or from credit to audit only during the first week
of instruction. No credit is given for courses audited, and the fee is one-half of the
regular tuition charge.

Canceled Classes. The Vice President for Academic Administration or a
department/school may cancel a class for which fewer than six tuition paying
students enroll. This policy applies to ordinary classes but not to directed study
courses, private lessons, and other special classes such as special methods of
secondary teaching. Students enrolled in canceled classes should confer with their
advisers to determine alternate means to complete their schedules.

COURSE LOAD

University courses are expressed in semester hours. A semester hour consists of
one fifty-minute class period per week for one semester. Thus, two-semester-hour
classes meet two hours a week and three-semester-hour classes meet three hours

40 Academic Policies

a week. A laboratory period of two and one-half to three hours is equal to one
class period. For every semester hour of credit a minimum of fifteen contact hours
should be scheduled. Final exam periods may count as one contact hour.
Students should expect to study up to two hours outside of class for each
fifty-minute period the class meets. Ideally, a sixteen-semester-hour class load
should require up to 32 hours of study each week by the student. Except by
permission of the Vice President for Academic Administration, a student may not
register for eighteen or more semester hours.

To qualify for a baccalaureate degree in four years, a student must average
between fifteen and sixteen hours per semester. The summer term may be used to
advantage by students wishing to complete degree requirements in less than four
years or by students having to take reduced programs of studies during the regular
academic year. The typical class load during the summer is one three-hour class
per session.

Study-Work Program. It is important that the student adjust the course load to
achieve a reasonable balance in study and work. During registration the student
should confer with his/her adviser in planning the proper balance of study and
work.

In determining an acceptable study-work program, the following will serve as
a guide:

Course Load Maximum Work Load

1 6 hours 16 hours

14 hours 20 hours

1 2 hours 26 hours

10 hours 32 hours

8 hours 38 hours

ACADEMIC ADVISEMENT

Southern Adventist University is committed to assist every student in the area
of academic advisement. Full-time students are assigned an academic adviser from
their major field and are required to consult with their advisers before registering
for classes.

The responsibility of meeting graduation requirements belongs to the individual
student. In planning their schedules all students should carefully follow the
instructions in the catalog, recommendations of their advisers, and reports of
academic progress issued from the Records and Advisement Office. In the event
of a discrepancy between an adviser's word and the catalog, final interpretation
of graduation requirements rests with the Records and Advisement Office.

Seniors must file an application for graduation at the fall registration of their
senior year. Previous to their senior year students should check periodically with
the Records and Advisement office to determine whether they are meeting all
curriculum requirements satisfactorily.

As early as possible in the process of curriculum planning, students who have
chosen a career in teaching should consult the Teacher Certification Officer
regarding the requirements for teaching credentials.

Academic Policies 41

GRADING SYSTEM

Southern Adventist University does not have an institutional grading policy.
Teachers use a variety of methods to evaluate students' performance, but the
grades they issue are defined as follows:

A Superior; the student demonstrates exceptional capability in handling course
material

B Above average; the student's demonstrated capability in handling course
material exceeds the expectation of the teacher

C Average; the student demonstrates a satisfactory grasp of course material
which the instructor intends students to learn in the class

D Below average; the student's demonstrated ability to deal with the course
material is less than the teacher intends students to learn

F Failing; the student does not demonstrate sufficient capability with the course
material to merit a passing grade

W Withdrew from the class; is not calculated in the GPA

WF Withdrew Failing; calculated as an *F* in the GPA

AU Audit; no credit

I Incomplete; is not calculated in the GPA

IP In Progress; a temporary passing grade for interrupted course work still in

progress; is not calculated in the GPA
P Pass; is not calculated in the GPA

The Pass/Fail option is available only in Physical Education activity classes
(PEAG). Students enrolling in these classes must make a decision either to receive
a grade of Pass/Fail or a conventional grade before the final grades are
submitted. The decision will be final.

A student may receive an *r (Incomplete) because of illness or other
unavoidable delay. Students who are eligible for an incomplete must secure from
the Records and Advisement Office the proper form and file the application with
the teacher to receive an incomplete. There is a charge of $10 for processing
grades of incomplete. Any incomplete which is not removed by the end of the
following term (Fall, Winter) will automatically become an *F. ff A teacher may
assign a temporary "IP" (in progress) when an unavoidable problem prevents the
issuance of a grade.

A course may be repeated before the student takes a more advanced course in
the same field. Only the last grade will be counted on repeated courses. No course
may be repeated more than once without permission from the Vice President for
Academic Administration.

Mid-semester and semester grade reports are issued to the student and parents
of students termed "dependent* for income tax purposes. Only semester grades are
recorded on the student's permanent record. The following system of grading and
grade point values is used:

A 4.00 grade points per hour C 2.00 grade points per hour

A- 3.70 grade points per hour C- 1 .70 grade points per hour

B + 3.30 grade points per hour D+ 1 .30 grade points per hour

B 3.00 grade points per hour D 1 .00 grade points per hour

B- 2.70 grade points per hour D- 0.70 grade points per hour

C+ 2.30 grade points per hour F 0.00 grade points per hour

WF 0.00 grade points per hour

42 Academic Policies

The grade point average is calculated by dividing the total number of grade
points earned by the credit hours attempted.

STUDENT RECORDS

A student's record is regarded as confidential, and release of the record or of
information contained therein is governed by regulations of the federal law on
"Family Educational Rights and Privacy." Only directory information, such as a
student's name, photograph, address, e-mail address, telephone listing, birthplace
and date, major fields of study, participation in officially recognized activities and
sports, dates of attendance, degrees and awards received, and the most recent
previous educational agency or institution attended, may be released by the
institution without consent of the student unless the student has asked SAU to
withhold such information.

Parents of students termed "dependent* for income tax purposes are entitled to
access to the student's educational records. The law also provides for the release
of information to university personnel who demonstrate a legitimate educational
interest, other institutions engaged in research (provided information is not
revealed to any other parties), and certain federal and state government officials.

A student may inspect and review records and is entitled to challenge the
content of records.

A more thorough explanation of records may be obtained from the Records and
Advisement Office. The Director of Records and Advisement will further explain
and clarify the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act to students, parents, or
interested parties upon request.

ACADEMIC HONESTY

Morally and spiritually, Southern Adventist University is dedicated to scholastic
integrity. Consequently, both students and faculty are required to maintain high,
ethical Christian levels of honesty.

Faculty Responsibilities:

1 . Teachers must explain clearly the requirements for assignments, examinations,
and projects, such as "open book," "take home," or "peer collaboration."

2. Teachers may assume "no collaboration" is the rule unless they state otherwise.

Student Responsibilities:

1. Students assume responsibility to avoid plagiarism by learning the proper
procedures for acknowledging borrowed wording, information, or ideas. Otherwise
students might innocently misrepresent others' material as their own.

2. Students unfamiliar with procedures for citing sources should confer with their
teachers.

3. Students are to assume that all course work is "no collaboration" unless stated
otherwise by the teacher.

Schools/Departmental Policies:

Some departments/schools, because of the nature of their programs, have
additional honesty policies which have the same force as those published here.
Such policies will be presented to students before implementation.

Procedures for Handling Academic Dishonesty:

1 . When a teacher suspects academic dishonesty in some form, such as cheating
or plagiarizing, the teacher must first confront the student with the dishonesty. If the

Academic Policies 43

student and teacher cannot resolve the situation, or if the student's grade will be
affected, then the Vice President for Academic Administration must be consulted.

2. in established instances of academic dishonesty, the usual procedures for the
teacher to follow will be to:

a. Give the student a failing grade on the exam, assignment or project if the
magnitude of either is not sufficient for failing the class.

b. Give the student a failing grade in the class if failing the exam, assignment
or project would constitute failing the class. The teacher will then write up
the incident and state the penalty administered, giving a copy to both the
Vice President for Academic Administration and the student.

3. Two incidents of academic dishonesty make a student eligible to be dismissed
from the University. However, the student may then appeal the action through the
established appeal procedures spelled out in the "Grievance Procedure* section of this
catalog.

ACADEMIC PROBATION AND DISMISSAL

Any student whose GPA does not meet the criteria for graduation is on
academic probation. The following are four categories of students who are on
academic probation:

1. Students whose Southern Adventist University or cumulative GPA falls
below 2.00. They are not eligible to hold office in any student organization.

2. Entering freshmen whose high school GPA is below 2.00 or if their
composite ACT score is less than 1 8.

3. Transfer students whose GPA is less than 2.00.

4. Students in baccalaureate programs completing their sophomore year with
a GPA in their major field less than the level required for graduation. For
most degrees the institutional graduation requirement is 2.25, but some
programs may designate a higher GPA.

Students on academic probation are allowed to remain in school but must
demonstrate progressive improvement to meet graduation requirements as well as
comply with the Academic Support Group Program.

The objectives of the Academic Support Group are to help students improve
their study skills and facilitate accelerated development of effective study habits
using a variety of methods and tools. The Academic Support Group Program has
open seminars that meet once a week for six consecutive weeks. One six-week
program will meet per semester. The facilitator will monitor the progress of the
students on academic probation and report the progress to the Academic Dean.

Candidates for a baccalaureate degree must achieve a minimum GPA of 2.00
after 55 semester hours have been attempted. Candidates for an associate or
certificate program must have a GPA of 2.00 before beginning their final semester.
Veterans enrolled for baccalaureate degrees, associate degrees, or certificate
programs must maintain a cumulative grade point average of 2.00, or they will not
be certified for veterans benefits. Veterans may be certified for repeat of *F* grades
or for a major that requires a specific minimum grade and the grade received was
lower than specified.

Government regulations require all financial aid recipients to maintain
satisfactory academic progress towards a degree as measured both qualitatively
and quantitatively in order to receive financial aid. This requirement applies to the

44 Academic Policies

entire enrollment at Southern Adventist University— even 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.

This policy defines the minimum standards for eligibility for state and/or federal
financial aid.

Students are subject to academic dismissal if their Southern Adventist
University or cumulative GPA does not reach the levels indicated in the preceding
paragraph or the levels in the following table:

Cumulative Credit Hours Attempted Cumulative Grqife Point Average

0-24 1.50 or above

25-54 1.75 or above

55 or above 2.00 or above

At the end of each semester the Academic Review Committee reviews the
records of students who are subject to dismissal and the Vice President for
Academic Administration will notify students in Writing whether or not they may
continue. A student academically dismissed may be readmitted only after
demonstrating maturity and motivation for a university career. The dismissed
student may be required to complete successfully at least one term of college-level
courses at another institution prior to readmission at Southern Adventist
University.

Students receiving financial aid must also meet an academic progress policy set
by the federal government. For further explanation see page 292, "Southern
Adventist University Academic Progress for Federal and Institutional Student
Financial Aid."

RIGHT OF PETITION

Students who believe there is a valid reason for requesting variance from or
exception to an academic policy stated in the catalog may make a petition to the
Director of Records and Advisement for consideration of their case after obtaining
the advice and signature of the department chair or school dean of their major.
The petition must contain a statement of the request and supporting reasons.
Highly unusual requests will be referred to the Vice President for Academic
Administration. Students will be notified in writing by the Director of Records and
Advisement of the action on petitions. Petition forms are available from the
Records and Advisement Office.

GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE

Students who believe that their academic rights have been infringed upon or
that they have been treated unjustly with respect to their academic program are
entitled to a fair and impartial consideration of their cases. They should do the
following to effect a solution:

1 . Present the case to the teacher or teachers concerned.

2. If necessary, discuss the problem with the department chair or school dean.

3. If agreement is not reached at this level, submit the matter to the Vice President
for Academic Administration.

4. Finally, ask for a review of the case by the Grievance Committee, chaired by the
Vice President for Academic Administration or his designee and including three
other faculty members and two students selected by the Academic Affairs

Academic Policies 45

Committee. Both the student and the teacher involved in the case are entitled to
appear before the committee or to present a written statement of the case. The
decision of the committee shall be presented in writing to the individuals
involved within three days of the committee meeting unless a later time is agreed
upon by both parties. The decision of the committee is binding and will be
implemented by the teacher involved or the Vice President for Academic
Administration.

ABSENCES

Class, Attendance at class and laboratory appointments is expected. Teachers
prepare an absence policy for each class, which includes an explanation of
penalties, if any, for absences, and the procedure for making up work, if such is
allowed. It is the responsibility of teachers to publish their policies for each class
at the beginning of each semester, but it is the students' responsibility to
familiarize themselves with the practices of each teacher from whom they are
taking classes. Generally speaking, teachers will not excuse absences for reasons
other than illness, authorized school trips, or emergencies beyond the students'
control.

Students are not penalized if they incur absences while participating in
school-authorized activities, but they are held responsible for work they miss and
it is their responsibility to initiate arrangements to make up their assignments. One
and one-half absences are given for missing a 75-minute class, two for missing a
100-minute class, etc.

Examination. Because of problems concerning time, expense and fairness, final
examinations will betaken as scheduled in the official examinations schedule. In
the case of illness verified by Student Health Service or a physician, death in the
immediate family, three examinations scheduled consecutively in one day, or four
or more examinations scheduled in one day, a final exam may be rescheduled
upon approval by the teacher and the Vice President for Academic Administration.
The rescheduled examination will be given at a time convenient to the teacher.

When examinations are rescheduled because of three scheduled consecutively
in one day or four in one day, the last examination of the day will normally be the
one rescheduled. Examinations rescheduled for any reason other than those listed
above, may require a fee of $65 per examination. All rescheduling requests will
be made on a form available at the office of the Vice President for Academic
Administration.

Convocation. Convocations are held each Thursday at 11:00 a.m. During
weeks of spiritual emphasis, assemblies are held on Tuesday as well.
Occasionally, assemblies will be held in the evening or may begin at 10:30 a.m.
on Thursday. All students are required to attend 16 assemblies each semester.
Failure to meet this convocation requirement may result in suspension of
registration. Exceptions to the assembly attendance requirement are made by the
Office of Student Services only for legitimate direct work or class conflicts with
scheduled assemblies. Any excuses for absences from convocation must be
approved by the Vice President for Student Services.

A special series of orientation assemblies is scheduled during the fourth
summer session.

46 Academic Policies

LIMITATIONS ON CLASS ATTENDANCE

Classes at Southern Adventist University are open to registered students only.
Information disseminated in the classroom or other places of learning is the
primary product that the University sells, hence visitors may not enter such
gatherings unless they are official guests of the institution with legitimate business
in a classroom or have the permission of the instructor. Visitors who attend classes
may not engage in the discussions of a class unless invited to do so.

Teachers and the institution reserve the right to remove legitimate students from
classes if their behavior threatens the purposes of the class by exceeding the
bounds of normal academic freedom.

Teachers conducting extension classes from other institutions on the Southern
Adventist University campus share the rights spelled out by this policy.

WAIVER EXAMINATIONS

Upon the approval of the department chair or school dean and the Vice
President for Academic Administration, students may obtain a waiver of curricular
requirements by successfully completing a comprehensive examination— written,
oral, manipulative, or otherwise, as determined by the department/school
involved. A fee of $50 per examination is charged.

ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE

Southern Adventist University offers a program in English as a Second Language
for Intermediate and Advanced level students whose English language skills are
below the official admission level of the TOEFL score of 550 (CBT 213). For
details, see the Admissions and English Department sections of the catalog.

NONTRADITIONAL COLLEGE CREDIT

In addition to credit earned in the traditional classroom setting, Southern
Adventist University accepts credit earned by two other means— challenge
examinations and correspondence courses.

The goals and objectives of the University emphasize not only facts and
concepts but also values and attitudes which are not easily transmitted through
correspondence courses or measured by examinations. These values and attitudes
can best be developed by the student's interacting over a period of time with peers
and teachers committed to moral excellence, critical thinking, and the pursuit of
truth. For this reason, most university credits should be earned through class
participation. However, the University will permit a maximum of one-fourth of the
credit required for a given degree to be earned by these nontraditional means.

University Credit by Examination, The University recognizes three types of
examinations for credit: challenge examinations prepared by a department/school
which must be passed at *B* level or above, approved College Level Examination
Program (CLEP) subject examinations which must be passed at the sixty-fifth
percentile or above, and the Advanced Placement Examinations which must be
passed with a score of three or better.

Not all classes listed in the catalog are open to challenge examinations.
Students must obtain clearance from the department chair or school dean or the
class they propose to challenge before petitioning to earn credit by examination.
Students must also furnish evidence of adequate preparation to challenge a class
before the department chair or school dean assigns a teacher to prepare a
challenge examination. A student may challenge a given course by examination
only once. No CLEP or challenge exam may be attempted after the student has

Academic Policies 47

been enrolled in that course beyond the second week of a semester. No course
may be challenged as part of the last thirty hours of any degree. Grades are
recorded for departmental challenge examinations and scaled scores are recorded
for nationally formed examinations. Permission to take a challenge examination
while in residence must be obtained from both the department chair or school
dean and the Vice President for Academic Administration. A challenge test may
not be taken if the student has audited the class.

Students may earn a maximum of twelve hours of credit by examination in
courses that do not appear in the University catalog if the evaluating tests are
approved by the Academic Affairs Committee.

Credit for challenge and/or validation examinations will not be placed on a
student's permanent record and is, therefore, not transferable until that student has
successfully completed twelve semester hours in residence at Southern Adventist
University.

Fees charged for challenge examination and credit are listed under 'Special
Fees and Charges* in the financial section of this catalog.

Additional information concerning challenge examinations may be obtained
from the Records and Advisement Office or the Counseling and Testing Center.

Correspondence. A maximum of twelve semester hours of correspondence or
extension credit may apply toward a baccalaureate degree program and eight
hours toward an associate degree.

Griggs University, a department of Home Study International, Silver Spring,
MD, is the officially recognized correspondence school. Southern Adventist
University recommends Home Study International for those students needing
correspondence credit and accepts all such credits when the study program is
approved by the University prior to enrollment. The University accepts credits
from correspondence schools which are accredited by NUCEA (National
University Continuing Education Association) on the basis that credits are accepted
from other regionally accredited colleges or universities.

A student will be permitted to carry correspondence work while in residence
only if the required course is unobtainable at the University. Correspondence
courses, whether taken while in residence or during the summer, must be
approved in advance by the University.

Correspondence work may not apply on the upper division requirements of the
major or minor. A minimum grade of *B* must be earned to apply on the lower
division requirements for a major. A course in which the student earned a grade
of *D* or *F* while in residence may not be repeated by correspondence. No
correspondence credit will be entered on the student's record until s/he has earned
a minimum of twelve hours in residence with an average of at least *C* Official
transcripts must be in the Records and Advisement Office before a diploma will
be ordered. The graduation date will be the last day of the month after the official
transcript is received.

Practicums and Internships. Suggested departmental/school guidelines for
practicums and internships.

Practicgrps:

a. A minimum of 50 clock hours per one credit hour.

b. The process of learning a job on a part-time basis.

c. The work may be done at various job sites.

48 Academic Policies

Internships :

a. A minimum of 100 clock hours per one credit hour.

b. The application of learning the skills of a job on a full-time basis.

c. The work must be supervised on one job site.

TRANSIENT STUDENT

A Southern Adventist University student acquires transient student status when
s/he is granted permission through the Southern Adventist University Records and
Advisement Office to enroll for automatically transferrable credit at another
accredited institution. The credit that students may transfer must meet Southern
Adventist University criteria for transfer credit and residence requirements.

To receive transient status, a student must:

1 . have completed a minimum of twelve hours in residence at Southern
Adventist University and

2. be enrolled simultaneously at Southern Adventist University for a
minimum of three hours of class credit. (This condition does not apply
to summer classes.)

Students may not receive transient status for more than one semester during
which the amount of transferrable credit exceeds the amount of simultaneous
credit earned at Southern Adventist University.

EXTENSION CLASSES

Extension classes are university classes offered on the campuses of Southern
Union academies as an opportunity for seniors to earn university credit in skills
areas that will fulfill part of the General Education requirements at Southern
Adventist University. Instructors are academy teachers who are qualified with
appropriate credentials and experience.

To enroll in an extension class, students must be members of the senior class with
a grade point average of 3.00 or above during the years of their secondary education.

The extension classes must duplicate as nearly as possible their university
counterparts in content, degree of difficulty, testing and grading.

CONTINUING EDUCATION

Southern Adventist University makes continuing education credit available
through the Records and Advisement Office. Sponsors of organizations wishing to
offer Southern Adventist University continuing education certificates must
complete the following steps:

1 . Secure approval of the program by

a. applying at the Records and Advisement Office at least two weeks before
conducting the workshop/seminar/conference and

b. submitting with their application the topic of the presentation, an outline of
the presentation, and the name of the presenters) with evidence credentials.

2. File an evaluation of the workshop/seminar/conference following the
presentation. The University will furnish evaluation forms.

3. Participants in continuing education events must pay institutional processing fees
to receive their certificates.

TRANSCRIPTS

Students may obtain transcripts of their academic record upon a written request
to the Office of Records and Advisement. A $5 fee will be charged for all
transcripts requiring one-day service and individual requests requiring an excess

Academic Policies 49

of more than five transcripts. Telephone or E-mail requests from students, and
telephone and written requests from someone on their behalf cannot be honored.
A student may receive an unofficial transcript for evaluative purposes by
applying in person at the Records and Advisement Office. Official transcripts given
directly to a student will be stamped "Student Copy." No transcript will be issued
for a student whose account is not paid in full or who is delinquent in payment of
student loans. For further clarification regarding transcripts, diplomas, and test
scores see page 282.

SEQUENCE OF COURSES

A student may not receive credit for a course which is a prerequisite to a course
for which s/he has already received credit.

50 Departmental Courses of Study

COURSE NUMBERS

Each course number consists of three figures as follows:

HIST 354 . Latin America (C-1), (W) 3 hours

The first numeral indicates class year status as follows:
0— Developmental (no credit)
1— freshman level (lower division)
2— sophomore level (lower division)
3— junior level (upper division)
4— senior level (upper division)

Within a given 100 sequence there is no significance in one course number
being higher than another. For instance, 265 does not necessarily mean that the
course is on a higher level than 235.

Course numbers separated by a hyphen are two-semester courses in which
credit for the first course is a prerequisite to the second [e.g., ENGL 101-102.
College Composition]. However, credit is given for the first semester when taken
alone.

Course numbers that stand alone represent courses of one semester which are
complete units. Course numbers separated by a comma [e.g., HIST 154, 155.
American History and Institutions] represent complete units, either one of which
is counted for graduation without reference to sequence.

Designation in brackets following course titles, [e.g., MATH 103. Survey of
Mathematics (A-2)1 indicates the General Education area and sub-area that the
class fulfills. Classes designated with a *(W)* are writing classes for General
Education credit.

Students may earn credit for a cross-listed course from only one
department/school [e.g. HIST 356 and SOCI 356].

COGNATE COURSES

Required courses related to the major which are not a part of the major are
called cognate courses [e.g., students majoring in Nursing are required to take
Microbiology as a cognate course].

The Allied Health Professions are rapidly growing areas of specialization within
the health care industry. Job openings are plentiful and pay scales are comparable
to other professionals in health care. The department offers a B.S. degree in
Medical Technology and A.S. degrees in a number of Allied Health fields (listed
on pages 55-56).

ASSESSMENT

The Allied Health Department at Southern Adventist University is organized to
coordinate the advising of students who require prerequisite courses for entrance
into a variety of clinical programs in the medical, dental, and health professions.
The programs in this department vary extensively depending on the particular
health career and the requirements of the specific schools which offer the clinical
programs. Southern Adventist University continually monitors the requirements of
these clinical programs and modifies its preprofessional curricula to meet the
changes when they are made. Continual assessment is made essentially by the
advisers in the department who measure their effectiveness by their success in
structuring programs to meet individual student needs and to meet requirements
of the professional school the student will be transferring to. The entrance rate of
students into professional programs is also used to assess adequacy of class
offerings and program requirements.

BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY
Adviser: Brent Hamstra

The Bachelor of Science degree with a major in medical technology consists of
three years of prescribed study at Southern Adventist University and a 12- to
1 3-month senior year in a hospital-based medical technology program accredited
by the Committee on Allied Health Education and Accreditation (CAHEA) of the
American Medical Association. The hospital programs affiliated with Southern
Adventist University are Florida Hospital Medical Center and Andrews University.
Internship in other CAHEA-accredited programs requires prior university approval.

The Medical Technology degree qualifies a person to take a number of national
certifying examinations, including those offered by the Board of Registry of the
American Society of Clinical Pathologists (ASCP) and the National Accrediting
Agency for Clinical Laboratory Sciences (NAACLS). Certified laboratory
professionals work in hospitals, clinics, physicians' offices, public health agencies,
private laboratories, pharmaceutical firms, and research institutions.

The curriculum prescribed by Southern Adventist University is designed to meet
the requirements of the University and of CAHEA. Hospitals with clinical programs
may have additional requirements. Students should consult the brochures or
advisers of the specific hospitals for those requirements.

54 Allied Health

Occasionally pre-dental students, pre-medical students, and graduating seniors
in biology or chemistry may wish to become certified Medical Technologists. This
is possible if the student plans courses to fulfill the requirements of the University
and the hospital program.

During the fall semester of the third year, students must apply for admission to
an approved clinical program. Acceptance of the individual student to the senior
year program is determined by the institution offering the clinical program. To be
eligible for admission, a student must complete all of the University course
requirements prior to beginning the clinical year. The overall grade point average
must be acceptable to the University for graduation. Most clinical programs do
not accept students with less than a 2.75 cumulative average on a 4.00 system.
Although clinical acceptances are granted during the junior year, they are
conditional, pending satisfactory completion of the stated admission criteria.

Written information about the affiliated clinical programs is available through
the University medical technology adviser. Acceptance criteria, pre-clinical course
requirements, application procedures, tuition for the senior year, and program
formats may vary at each approved clinical program.

ASSOCIATE OF SCIENCE IN ALLIED HEALTH

The Associate of Science degree in Allied Health Professions prepares the
student for admission to professional programs at Loma Linda University, Andrews
University, or other universities. Admission to any professional school is
dependent on meeting the GPA and prerequisite requirements of the individual

PRE-CYTOTECHNOLOGY
Adviser: Brendajanzen

Cytotechnologists are specially trained laboratory technologists who work with
pathologists to detect changes in body cells that may be important in the early diagnosis
of cancer and other diseases. Using special techniques, cytotechnologists prepare
cellular samples for study under the microscope and assist in the diagnosis of disease
by examination of the samples. Using the findings of cytotechnologists, a physician is
then able, in many instances, to diagnose cancer and other diseases even before they
can be detected by other methods. Most cytotechnologists work in hospitals or in
private laboratories, while some prefer to work on research projects or to teach.

The program below meets admission requirements for Loma Linda University, as
well as Southern Adventist University's requirements for an A.S. degree. This program
can be modified to meet the requirements of other schools. For a complete description

PRE-DENTAL HYGIENE
Adviser: Brenda Janzen

Dental hygienists provide preventative dental care and encourage patients to develop
good oral hygiene skills. In addition to carrying out clinical responsibilities such as
cleaning and scaling teeth, hygienists educate patients in ways to develop and maintain
good oral health. Although most hygienists work with individual patients, some
develop and promote community dental health programs. In addition to career
opportunities within dental offices, dental hygienists apply their skills and knowledge
in other career activities including office management, business administration, dental
hygiene education, research and marketing of dental related equipment and materials.

PRE-NUTR1TION AND DIETETICS
Adviser: Brenda Janzen

Dietitians and nutritionists use their knowledge of the principles of nutrition to help
people develop healthy eating habits. Dietitians may be involved in setting up and
supervising food service systems for institutions such as hospitals, prisons, and schools;
and promoting sound eating habits through education and research. Clinical dietitians
provide nutritional services for patients in hospitals, nursing homes, clinics, or doctors'
offices. Community dietitians counsel individuals and groups on nutritional practices
designed to prevent disease and promote good health. Management dietitians are
responsible for large scale meal planning and preparation in such places as hospitals,
nursing homes, company cafeterias, and schools.

PRE-PHYSICIAN ASSISTANT
Adviser: Brenda Janzen

Physician assistants are trained to perform many of the essential tasks involved in
patient care. They take medical histories, perform physical evaluations, order laboratory
tests, make preliminary diagnoses, prescribe appropriate treatments, and recommend
medications and drug therapies. They also treat minor problems such as lacerations,
abrasions, and burns. Physician assistants work in a variety of practice settings and
specialty areas. The most important practice setting is in a physician's office. They also
work at hospitals and clinics. Specialties using PA's are family practice, internal
medicine, general and thoracic surgery, emergency medicine, pediatrics, and various
medical sub-specialties.

The entrance requirements to physician assistant clinical programs vary considerably
from school to school. College credit requirements range from two years of college
level courses to a baccalaureate degree. Prior patient care requirements also range
from being recommended through two years of direct clinical work experience.

Currently, a number of physician assistant programs are in a state of transition.
Entrance requirements for some schools are shifting from one or two years of college
courses to requiring a baccalaureate degree. Southern Adventist University can
structure a course of study to meet the requirements of the specific clinical program to
which a student wishes to apply. Students preparing for a career as a Physician
Assistant are encouraged to obtain a bachelor's degree before applying to a clinical
program.

Additional information on physician assistant programs can be obtained from the
University's pre-physician assistant advisor or by contacting the schools that offer the
clinical programs.

PRE-SPEECH-LANGUAGE PATHOLOGY & AUDIOLOGY
Adviser: Brendajanzen

Speech-language pathologists identify, assess, and treat persons with speech and
language disorders while audiologists assess and treat hearing impaired individuals.
Because both occupations are concerned with communication, individuals competent
in one area must be familiar with the other. The duties of speech-language pathologists
and audiologists vary. Most, however, provide direct clinical services to individuals
with communication disorders. In speech, language, and hearing clinics they may
independently develop and implement a treatment program. In private medical centers
and other facilities, they may be part of a team that develops and executes a treatment
plan. In schools they may help administrators develop individual or group programs,
counsel parents on prevention of hearing disorders, and assist teachers with classroom
activities.

The program below meets admission requirements for Loma Linda University, as well as
Southern Adventist University's requirements for an A.S. degree. This program can be

The study of Biology constitutes one of the most exciting and important fields
of scientific investigation, since it provides a better understanding of ourselves and
the living things around us. Even the casual observer of Biology who pauses long
enough to take a course may derive a lifetime of pleasure and fulfillment from a
hobby such as bird watching, shell collecting, or wild flower photography.

A major in Biology is an excellent starting point for numerous careers which are
both rewarding and challenging. With a degree in Biology, one may pursue
graduate study leading to research in the basic sciences (anatomy, physiology,
ecology, microbiology, cytology, etc.), teaching at the college or graduate level,
or employment in industry or government. A biology degree is also the degree of
choice in preparation for high-school teaching, medicine, dentistry, optometry,
careers in wildlife, forestry or zoo management, health education, public health,
biostatistics, epidemiology, and environmental health, to name a few.

The Biology Department makes available a number of experiences, both
curricular and extracurricular, to enrich its students' academic programs. The
department offers courses which include field experiences in Indonesia, Canada,

Chemistry

Chair: Rhonda Scott-Ennis

Faculty: Brent Hamstra, Bruce Schilling

The Chemistry Department offers classes structured to provide undergraduate
students with the knowledge and skills necessary for distinguished professional
performance in chemistry or other fields that require a strong background in
chemistry. A major in chemistry can be your key to a rewarding and challenging
career in a wide variety of areas such as the basic sciences or industrial research,
pharmacology, toxicology, chemical engineering, forensic chemistry, chemistry
education, medical and paramedical careers, as well as many business
applications such as pharmaceutical and chemical sales, patent research and
patent law, marketing and consulting— to name just a few.

The B.S. degree in Chemistry is recommended in preparation for graduate study
leading to research oriented careers in chemistry, professional applications of
chemistry, or post-secondary education. The B.S. degree in Chemistry,
Biochemistry emphasis, is recommended for students preparing for careers in
medicine or dentistry as well as graduate study, research or teaching in
biochemistry, molecular biology, or biotechnology. The B.A. degree is the
preferred degree for high-school teaching, pre-paramedical fields, and some of the
business applications.

ASSESSMENT

To aid the Chemistry Department in evaluating teaching effectiveness,
nationally standardized tests prepared by the American Chemical Society are
administered at the end of each course for which an appropriate test is available.
The test results are evaluated, and teaching procedures and methods are changed
as needed.

All chemistry majors are required to take COMM 1 35 as part of their general
education program.

The rapidly expanding field of computing continues to demand an ever-
increasing number of technically educated people. The type of computer
education needed also continues to shift. Computer graduates this year will be
taking jobs, which were not even available, when they entered college four years
ago. Southern Adventist University offers several computer curricula designed to
meet the needs of students desiring to enter the computing field, but coming to the
University with a wide-range of interests and abilities.

The Bachelor/MSE program is offered for exceptional students who wish to
complete both the bachelor degree and the Master of Software Engineering degree
in as little as five years. Students desiring this option should consult with the
School of Computing early in their academic career. After completing 96 semester
credits (normally after six semesters), they should apply for permission to take
graduate courses for graduate credit. Students receiving this permission must meet
all the criteria for admission to the graduate school and MSE program specified in
the graduate catalog except the one requiring an undergraduate degree. They will
be limited to six hours of graduate courses during each of the next two semesters.
During this fourth year, Bachelor/MSE students will still be undergraduate students.
Upon successful completion of at least nine hours of graduate courses, the student
may apply to and be accepted in the graduate school. Bachelor/MSE students
must complete all requirements for the bachelor degree given in the undergraduate
catalog as well as all requirements for the Master of Software Engineering degree
listed in the graduate catalog. There will be no double crediting of courses; i.e.,
credit for a course will either be counted for undergraduate credit or graduate
credit, never both. Students completing the Bachelor/MSE program may receive
both the bachelor degree and the Master of Software Engineering degree at the
same graduation.

The B.S. degree in computer science is designed to prepare you for a wide
range of computing professions. Software engineers, software developers, systems
analysts, programmer/analysts, network engineers, database administrators, and
data specialists are among the professions considered computer scientists. These
computing professionals are distinguished by the high level of theoretical expertise
and innovation they apply to complex problems and to the application of new
technologies. This curriculum follows the guideline for computer science degrees
developed by the ACM and IEEE, Curriculum '91.

The B.A. degree in computer science allows you to combine a computing
degree with a minor or with a major in another academic area offering a B.A., for
instance English, history, or music. This combination is useful in occupations such
as teaching high school.

The B.S. in computer information systems combines classes in computing and
systems management with classes in accounting, economics, and business

94 School of Computing

administration. With a few years experience you'll be equipped to manage a data
processing department in a hospital, business, or industry. This program follows
the curriculum developed by ACM, A1S, and AITP, IS '97.

The B.S. in computer systems administration is designed to prepare graduates
who will administer the complex computer systems and networks now common
in the business world. It requires a minimum of programming, mathematics, and
business courses, while concentrating on the technical issues needed to administer
and support modern network computing systems and software. An A.S. in
computer systems administration provides a two-year program designed for entry
level positions in this rapidly growing field.

ADMISSIONS

Admission to the School of Computing is required before graduation with a
major offered by the School of Computing. Declaration as a major is not the
equivalent of acceptance to the School of Computing. Minimum requirements for
admission to the School of Computing are:

1 . Acceptance to Southern Adventist University.

2. Complete general education: ENGL 101 and 102, and MATH 120 or
equivalent.

3. Completion of 6 hours of computer courses required in the major with a grade
of "C" or better.

4. Earned overall GPA of 2.50 or better.

Students pursuing a major offered by the School of Computing should apply for
admission at the end of the freshman year. Transfer students will be considered
for admission after completing 6 hours of major courses in residence.

SCHOOL OF COMPUTING PROBATION

If a student's GPA falls below 2.25 in either the major or overall, the student
will be placed on School of Computing probation. If the GPA does not ir^prove
to 2.25 by the end of one semester on probation, the student must repeat courses
in an effort to increase the GPA. The faculty of the School of Computing must
approve each probation student's course load before the student may register.

ASSESSMENT

In the spring of the senior year all B.A. and B.S. students in computer science
will be required to take a written two-hour exam. The results of this exam are used
by the School's staff to evaluate class offerings as well as program requirements.

SOFTWARE TECHNOLOGY CENTER

The Software Technology Center (STC) is the research center of the School of
Computing. The STC is sponsored in part by the Consortium for the Management
of Emerging Software Technology (Comsoft). Comsoft is funded by major
corporations such as AT&T, IBM, Spring, Allstate, and NBC. The Comsoft
administrative offices are located in the STC.

Object-oriented software technology is an important emerging discipline for
development of complex software systems. The STC staff work closely with the
research and development staffs of major corporations utilizing object-oriented
technology.

School of Computing 95

The STC provides opportunities for students and faculty to work together
researching emerging software technologies. In addition it offers employment for
motivated students to work on advanced software development projects with
major corporations.

PHILOSOPHY AND OBJECTIVES

The School of Education and Psychology subscribes to the philosophy that man
was created in the image of God but as a result of willful disobedience sin has
marred his God-given attributes and divine likeness. This philosophy recognizes
that the object of education is also the object of redemption— to restore in man the
image of his maker and bring him back to the perfection in which he was created.
Thus the work of redemption is also the work of education, involving the
development of the whole person— physical, mental, spiritual, and social.

The teacher education and psychology programs in the unit are founded upon
the basic assumption that there is a body of information, research, and practice
that make up the knowledge base for the teaching profession and that acquisition
of this knowledge is a significant part of teachers' and psychologists' preparation.
The unit further confirms the belief that teachers and psychologists should be good
examples in health, intellect, and character.

STATEMENT OF MISSION

The mission of the School of Education and Psychology at Southern Adventist
University is to prepare professional educators and psychologists at both
undergraduate and graduate levels who can function effectively in a culturally
pluralistic society and who are dedicated to assisting students in reaching their
maximum potential in service to God and humanity.

The School of Education and Psychology is approved by the Tennessee State
Board of Education for the preparation of secondary and elementary teachers and
is accredited by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education
(NCATE).

ASSESSMENT OF PSYCHOLOGY MAJORS

The comprehensive assessment of senior psychology majors (including
education students who major in psychology for teacher licensure) takes place
during their last academic year. Students are required to take the 16PF test and
prepare a portfolio. This senior assessment must be completed to have the
recommendation of the School for graduation. The final assessment is graded on
an Honor, Pass, or Fail basis. Results of student assessment are evaluated by the
faculty with a view to changing course content as needed.

ADMISSION PROCEDURES

Admission tp Southern Adventist University does npt automatically gnrpll the

student into teacher education . There are three stages that students must go
through to be fully accepted in the teacher education program.
A. Initial Admission to the Teacher Education Program

Each student accepted at Southern Adventist University who indicated that
teaching is his/her professional objective is assigned an educational program
adviser by the Dean of the School of Education and Psychology in
cooperation with the advisement coordinator in the Records Office. The
advisers assist in planning a student's academic program each year and guide
their advisees through the stages of the Teacher Education Program. Advisers
and advisees should work closely to follow the professional sequence of
courses. Students assume responsibility for making necessary applications,
meeting the requirements, and other relevant deadlines.

During the sophomore year, and after having met the numbered criteria
listed below, the student should file a formal application for initial admission
to the Teacher Education Program. Application forms may be obtained from
the School secretary in Summerour Hall. Transfer students wishing to enter
the Teacher Education Program should file an application after the first year
in residence. Upon application, a file is set up for each applicant containing
relevant information to the student's candidacy. To be initially admitted, all
the following criteria must be met:

1 . Be in residence at the University.

2. Show evidence of physical, mental, spiritual and moral fitness.

3. Possess an overall grade point average of 2.75 or above.

4. Have successfully completed EDUC 1 35 Introduction to Education,
and ENGL 101-102 with a minimum grade of C.

5. Possess an enhanced ACT/SAT composite score of 22 OR have

which is the entrance competency test required by the State of
Tennessee. The ACT composite score of 22 or above will EXEMPT
the PPST.

6. Have taken the 1 6 Personality Factor Test.

7. Have submitted a formal application which includes a short
autobiography in your own handwriting containing anecdotal
information on why you decided to pursue a career in teaching.

8. Have obtained recommendations from the Vice President of Student
Services and the student's academic adviser as part of the

9. Have presented a beginning professional portfolio to the Teacher
Education Faculty.

School of Education and Psychology 111

10. Have successfully completed an initial interview with the Teacher
Education Faculty.

1 1 . Have signed a felony statement as part of the interview process.
Applicants meeting the above criteria are recommended by the

Education faculty to the Teacher Education Council. The student will be
informed in writing as to the status of the application for admission
following the action of the Teacher Education Council.

B. Candidacy and Retention in Teacher Education

After the applicant has been admitted to the Teacher Education Program,
his/her progress will be reviewed by the Candidacy Committee, consisting
of the adviser, a departmental/school representative, and one elementary or
secondary teacher. As a teacher candidate, the applicant will be given an
opportunity to interact with the Candidacy Committee in a non-threatening
atmosphere. During the interview the candidate can strengthen his/her
commitment to teaching or express his/her concerns and questions about
the teaching profession.

Retention in the teacher education program is contingent on successful
completion of courses attempted and maintenance of the academic standard
required for initial admission to the program. Teacher candidates are
expected to maintain consistent personal representation of the standards
and objectives of Southern Adventist University and the teacher education
program.

C. Authorization to do Student Teaching

After acceptance into the Teacher Education Program and before the first
semester of the senior year, the teacher candidate must file a formal
application with the faculty of the School of Education and Psychology for
authorization to do student teaching. Application forms may be obtained
from the School secretary in Summerour Hall. A late application may delay
the student teaching experience. Student teaching is regarded as the
culminating experience of the Teacher Education Program.

Prior to admission to the professional semester and student teaching, the
student will take and pass the Praxis II— both the appropriate section of the
Principles of Learning and Teaching, and the particular speciality test(s) for
the licensure area(s).

The following criteria are considered for each applicant:

1. Completion of all professional education courses

2. Cumulative GPA of 2.75

Major Studies GPA of 2.75
Professional Education GPA of 2.75

3. Evidence of good physical and mental health

University and the Teacher Education Council

5. Formal application for student teaching at least one
semester in advance

6. Completion and passing of PRAXIS II examinations

7. Proof of current certification in First Aid/CPR

8. Completion of a student teaching interview

9. Presentation of the on-going professional portfolio as part of the
interview process

10. Approval of the Education and Psychology faculty.

112 School of Education and Psychology

Teacher candidates who meet the above criteria are recommended by the
Education and Psychology faculty to the Teacher Education Council. Candidates
are informed in writing as to the status of their application following the action of
the Teacher Education Council,

Advisement

The major goal of the advisement process is to orient the teacher candidate
with the total teacher education program, with major emphasis on its three
components, namely, general education, professional education, and specialty
studies. This is accomplished by the academic adviser as s/he interacts with his/her
advisees during advisement sessions.

APPEAL PROCEDURES

Criteria and standards for admission to teacher education are explicit, but allow
for second chance attempts. Courses may be repeated to raise GPA or students
may follow the Grievance Procedures found under Academic Policies (page 44).
Also, students who do not meet all the criteria required to do Student Teaching
may appeal to the Appeals Committee. The applicant who has to take this
alternative route will be evaluated on the bases of eminence and outstanding
strengths in several other criteria rather than minimal meeting of those criteria.
The Appeals Committee makes recommendation to the Teacher Education Council
who determines the final action. Any applicant who determines to follow this
alternative policy must seek counsel from the Dean of the School of Education and
Psychology.

TEACHER LICENSURE

Licensure and certification are synonymous terms for the process of granting
legal authorization to teach in the public or private elementary or secondary
schools of a state or of the Seventh-day Adventist Church based on meeting
predetermined qualifications. Certification has been established to give
professional status to qualified teachers and to assure school boards and parents
that the teacher is well prepared.

WHO CAN OBTAIN CERTIFICATION?

Every student who successfully completes the requirements for teaching in the
elementary or secondary school and graduates from Southern Adventist University
will receive recommendation for certification based upon the following criteria:

A. Successful completion of student teaching assignments

B. Satisfactory completion of all credential requirements

C. Recommendation of major departments/schools

D. Satisfactory scores on the following PRAXIS II Examinations:

(1) Principles of Learning and Teaching, and (2) appropriate specialty area(s).

Certification is not automatic. The eligible candidate must make the necessary
application to the appropriate union conference for denominational certification
and to the specific state department of education where the candidate expects to
teach. Information regarding certification is available through the Southern
Adventist University certification officer. Since teacher certification regulations are
always in the process of change, graduating teacher education candidates are
urged to make their applications for certification immediately. If the candidate
does not make application within two years for denominational certification, or

School of Education and Psychology 113

within three years for Tennessee State certification, s/he will have to take
additional courses before certification can be issued.

WHAT CERTIFICATES MAY BE OBTAINED?

A. Teacher's Certificate (Tennessee)

A certificate is issued on the basis of a minimum of a Bachelor's Degree
with a major in at least one subject teaching field and the completion of
an approved teacher education program. Satisfactory scores on the
following PRAXIS II Examinations: (1) Principles of Learning and Teaching,
and (2) appropriate specialty area(s) must be obtained.

B. Basic Certificate (SDA denominational)

Required by the Department of Education of the North American Division
of Seventh-day Adventists. This three-year denominational certificate is

REQUIREMENTS FOR CERTIFICATION

Candidates for state certification must complete the appropriate teacher
preparation curriculum. This consists of three components: general education,
professional education, and major studies.

A. General Education:

This component represents that portion of the total teacher education
program designed to foster the development of those competencies that
are basic to all life's responsibilities and provide intellectual foundation
t in the liberal arts. Students pursuing a teacher education curriculum
must work closely with their advisers for guidance in the selection of
general education courses that are appropriate to their individual needs.
Relevant courses are listed in this catalog under the seven main areas of
the general education requirements, pages 29-32.

C. Major Studies:

Major studies requirements: Preparation for teaching in the elementary
school requires a B.A, in Psychology leading to licensure K-8, B.A. in
Language Arts leading to licensure K-8, or a B.S. in Science and Math
Studies leading to licensure K-8. See listings of course sequences on pages
11 5-1 17 of this bulletin.

The following departments/schools offer majors that can be combined
with professional education courses resulting in licensure to teach:

Biology Mathematics

Chemistry Music

Education & Psychology Physical Education & Health

English Physics

History Religion

Students are to complete the degree requirements as specified by their
chosen major plus the professional education courses as listed under B
above.

D. Miscellaneous Information Relative to Teacher Training:

1 . Because of time commitments during the student teaching experience,
no additional courses may be taken. The Education faculty will
endeavor to provide the opportunity for student teachers to teach in
off-campus student teaching centers. It is expected that any student
entering student teaching will have completed all other courses.

2. Correspondence credit will be accepted to the extent of one-fourth of
the credit required for the certificate provided that no more than four
semester hours in education are applied on the professional education
requirement. If personal circumstances demand a correspondence
course, a petition must be filed with the School of Education and
Psychology and its approval obtained before registering for the course.
The course must be completed and the grade filed in the Records and
Advisement Office before student teaching is begun.

3. A major is not always required for additional endorsements. A minor
may be acceptable as a second field for SDA certification.

4. Students should contact the School of Education and Psychology for
information on specific requirements in the area(s) of endorsement
sought.

5. The Teacher Education Program at Southern Adventist University is
being constantly refined to meet any and all North American Division,
NCATE, and/or State of Tennessee's changing and mandated licensure
requirements for teacher preparation. As a result, changes may occur
in the course offering and in the program requirements for students
preparing to become teachers.

School of Education and Psychology 115

Teacher education students must meet any and all such additional
requirements mandated by NAD, NCATE, or the State of Tennessee,
even though such changes may not be listed in the Teacher Education
programs in the particular catalog under which the student entered,
and students should stay in contact with the School of Education and
Psychology to be aware of any changes that may affect them.

ASSESSMENT OF EDUCATION MAJORS

Assessment of senior Education majors takes place during their full semester
of student teaching. It involves continuous monitoring of the student's classroom

School of Education and Psychology 119

performance in both verbal and written feedback. Senior assessment consists of
two phases.

Phase One, Formative Evaluation, consists of ongoing monitoring and
feedback. The cooperating teacher conducts informal conferences as well as a one-
hour weekly formal conference providing anecdotal records. The Southern
Adventist University Formative Evaluation Form is completed by the University
supervisor and the cooperating teacher.

Phase Two, Summative Evaluation, is completed by both the cooperating
teacher and the University supervisor. The instrument used to record the student's
skills and behaviors is the Southern Adventist University Summative Evaluation
Form . The student teacher is also evaluated by his/her students when they
complete the Pupil Evaluation of the Student Teacher. A self-evaluation is
completed by the student through a video-taped lesson. The student and the
University supervisor critique his/her videotaped performance.

The final letter grade for the student's performance is decided by the Education
Faculty. Failure to complete student teaching with a satisfactory grade of C or
above results in students being reassigned for an additional practicum.

Graduate follow-up is carried out through the Southern Adventist University
Teacher Education Evaluation instrument completed by the first-year teacher. The
Supervisor Ev aluation of Southern Adventist University Graduates is completed by
the student's employer. Feedback from these instruments is used by the School of
Education and Psychology staff to make necessary program changes.

In addition to the above, education students obtaining a psychology degree
must fulfill the assessment procedures listed on page 108.

Engineering Studies

Engineering Studies Committee:

Henry Kuhlman (Chair), Ken Caviness

Southern Adventist University Physics Department offers the first two years of
a baccalaureate degree in engineering. Upon completing the two-year engineering
studies program, students transfer to the Walla Walla College School of
Engineering, with which Southern Adventist University is affiliated, for the final
two years. Southern Adventist University awards an Associate of Science degree
in Engineering Studies. Walla Walla College, located in Washington State, awards
a Bachelor of Science in Engineering degree with concentrations in civil, electrical,
and mechanical engineering and a pre-professional Bachelor of Science degree in
bioengineering.

The WWC School of Engineering offers a high quality program that is fully
accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology— the only
nationally recognized organization which accredits engineering programs. It has
an enrollment of approximately 250 students, many of whom are transfer students
from affiliated Seventh-day Adventist colleges or universities.

The Southern Adventist University affiliation with Walla Walla College makes
the transition to the final two years of the baccalaureate engineering program
essentially the same as if the first two years were taken there. Even though transfer
to Walla Walla College is simpler than to a non-affiliated school, the Southern
Adventist University engineering studies program is compatible with baccalaureate
engineering programs of many colleges and universities.

ASSESSMENT

The engineering studies program is designed to parallel the first two years of
the baccalaureate engineering degree at Walla Walla College. It is regularly
assessed by means of one or two campus visits each year by engineering faculty
from their College of Engineering.

The English Department offers two categories of classes that view man's search
for truth and its most convincing expression through a Christian perspective.
Language courses aid students in developing ease, confidence, and competence
in the art of effective communication and in acquiring knowledge of the science
of language; literature courses develop the ability to discern and appreciate the
best literary works.

Students majoring or minoring in English must meet the specific requirements
of the English Department (below) and the General Education program (pages 29-
32). For the English major, intermediate foreign language is required. College
Composition does not count toward an English major or minor, but students
majoring or minoring in English must earn a grade of C or higher in College
Composition. English majors will demonstrate computer competence by
completing an E-mail component in ENGL 445 and by using word processing to
complete the 3-hour written assessment exam.

ASSESSMENT

As part of a departmental assessment process, senior English majors take a
written exam and do a written evaluation of departmental programs. Results
provide information used to improve departmental programs; graduation eligibility
is not affected. Majors are informed about the purpose and nature of these
assessment activities when they enter the English program.

History

Chair: Benjamin McArthur

Faculty: Mark Peach, Dennis Pettibone

Adjunct Faculty: Craig Hadley

History is the study of the human experience. It investigates mankind's ideas,
institutions, and activities. In pursuing this investigation, history courses at
Southern Adventist University emphasize the Christian view of humanity. This
perspective recognizes both the potential and the limitation of human endeavor
and thereby permits a broader comprehension of the past and a greater hope for
the future.

Approval of study programs for history majors. Departmental approval is
necessary for all programs. A student majoring in history must plan his/her entire
study program with a member of the history faculty. Approval is then considered
on an individual basis and is granted on the following conditions:

1 . Compliance with graduation requirements as explained elsewhere in the catalog.

2. Fulfillment of the professional and individual needs of the student.

3. Embodiment of academic balance and continuity.

4. Completion of senior year assessment.

ASSESSMENT

Assessment of seniors consists of two parts. First, in the spring semester of their
senior year students will take the ETS Major Field Achievement Test in history.
Second, at the beginning of the fall semester seniors will take a departmental
exam. Preparation for this exam will constitute a one-hour independent study
course involving: 1) reading a selected few classics of historical literature; 2)
reviewing one's history course work utilizing several thematic questions provided
by the history faculty. The subsequent examination will be in the form of a one-
hour interview of the candidate by the history faculty. This will be based on the
above mentioned materials and also on the student's portfolio of major papers
accumulated during his/her history course work. The oral examination is graded
on an Honors, Pass, or Fail basis. A failure requires further preparation by the
student and another interview before graduation.

Upper-division history classes seek to improve skills of writing and speech. All
such classes require analytical writing as part of the course work. Additionally,
many classes involve discussion and oral class reports as partial basis for the
student's grade, most notably HIST 499, Research Methods in History, which
requires an extended formal presentation of student research.

History majors must display the ability to apply computer usage to their
discipline in two ways: first, a facility with word processing; and second, by a
facility in accessing information via the Internet.

advocacy work. There are also opportunities to work in a religious advocacy
organization in the nation's capital with the CUC program.

The Political Science minor is an 18-hour program, 9 or 12 hours of which
(depending on whether a summer or semester-long internship was taken) would
consist of the internship credit. The balance of the minor would require:

1 . PLSC 254 American Government

2. 3 to 6 hours of other PLSC courses

For more details on the program, see the History Department chair.

History as a preprofessional degree: A student majoring in history who plans
to enter a professional school in an area such as medicine or law must present a
balanced program of general education classes and electives that will support the
professional objectives.

History as a preparation for teaching: A student majoring in history who plans
to prepare for secondary teacher certification must include six hours upper
division Political Science in the major and must also take PLSC 224, 254; and
GEOG 204. It is strongly recommended that the student also earn teaching
credentials in a field outside of history. No specific supporting field is required but
art, behavioral science, business, English, modern languages, and religion are
recognized as intimately related to the study of history. A student may receive
denominational certification to teach history as a second area by completing a
minor in history (see under Minor below). Since the entire second semester of the
senior year is devoted to certification requirements, students earning teacher
certification must finish all history class work before reaching the final semester.
Students applying for teacher certification must consult with the School of
Education and Psychology to draft a schedule of classes meeting certification
requirements.

Before the end of the sophomore year the student must apply to the School of
Education and Psychology for admission to the Teacher Education Program. Before
the end of the junior year, the student must apply to the School of Education and
Psychology for admission to the professional semester.

History Department tours: The Department of History regularly sponsors study
tours to foreign countries. The purpose of these tours is to provide students and
other participants with an enhanced understanding of history and culture through
a combination of traditional lecture and reading with direct observation of
historical sites. Academic activities connected with the tours require students to
spend an amount of time equal to that expected in a regular classroom setting.

History 141

Preparatory meetings and assigned reading are included in this computation.
Course credit is offered under HIST 295/495 Directed Study in History. Cost of the
tours includes charge for academic credit.

History as general education: Freshman and sophomore students earning
general education credit in history should take courses from the 100 and 200
level. Junior and senior students meeting general education requirements in history
should select courses from the 300 and 400 level.

NTERDISCIPLINARY

The student-designed major is an interdisciplinary program available to any
student who wishes to develop a more individualized program of study than those
provided by existing majors. It is a coherent program of study that crosses
disciplinary lines. One of the major disciplines must be chosen as the primary
discipline to provide a coherent focus for the major. In planning the
interdisciplinary major, the student selects an advisory committee of three faculty
members, two from the primary discipline (including the department/school chair
or dean) and one of the secondary disciplines. The Associate Vice-President of
Academic Administration also serves on the advisory committee.

All students interested in developing an interdisciplinary major or in applying
to the major must meet with the Associate Vice-President of Academic
Administration. The requirements are intended to ensure that the interdisciplinary
major is integrally related to the goals of a liberal arts education and appropriately
reflect the disciplines involved. Each course of study is approved only on a case-
by<ase basis.

Interdisciplinary major is a privilege granted by the University to students who
display unusual motivation to study an area not included among its degree
programs. Although the individual student is responsible for the design and
planning of the program, he or she must fulfill the following requirements:

1. Completion of general education requirements (including the intermediate
level of a foreign language for B.A. degree).

2. The advisory committee must approve the admission to the major.
Applications must be made no later than fall semester of the junior year. An
applicant should have a minimum grade point average of 3.50. Continuation
in the program requires a grade point average of at least 3.30 each semester.

3. Majors will be approved only where university faculty and courses can
provide a degree program of high quality. New courses will not be created
for a student; however, a directed study course may be provided. In special
cases up to nine (9) hours of transfer credit from another institution may
apply to a major, particularly of specialized courses not available at SAU.

4. Bachelor of Art degree majors must have 30 hours, of which a minimum of
14 hours will be upper division. A second major or a minor from SAU's
degree programs must be included.

5. Bachelor of Science majors must have 42 hours, of which a minimum of 18
hours will be upper division.

6. Courses for the major shall be chosen from at least two and not more than
four disciplines.

7. Both B.A. and B.S. majors must include a three (3) hour research project
(accomplished under a directed study number). Students will provide a
defense of their project before their advisory committee.

8. in order to graduate, the student must have a minimum of 124 semester
hours, 40 upper division hours, and three writing classes.

At least 30 of the semester hours in the major must be taken in residence after
the student's application and proposal for the major have been approved by the
advisory committee. A grade of C or better must be obtained in all courses in the
interdisciplinary major.

Interdisciplinary 145

For the students who design their major, their transcript will give the degree and
major: 'Interdisciplinary* with a concentration in whatever the title is defined.

It should be noted that any students receiving VA education benefits must have
their interdisciplinary major and course of study submitted to and approved by the
Tennessee Higher Education Commission as the State Approving Agency before
certification to the VA.

School of Journalism and Communication 1 47

The School of Journalism and Communication provides an educational
environment in which future leaders in telecommunications, journalism, public
relations, and related areas can acquire the enduring ethical concepts, the
intellectual discipline, and the professional abilities necessary to the mastery and
management of a wide range of writing, editing, and other journalistic and public
relations skills and techniques.

The School offers the Bachelor of Arts Degree with majors in Journalism (News
Editorial), Intercultural Communication, Broadcast Journalism, and Public
Relations, a Bachelor of Science Degree with various emphases, and a Bachelor
of Science Degree in Nonprofit Administration and Development, and an
Associate of Science Degree in Media Technology. Minors are also available in
Advertising, Broadcast Journalism, Broadcast Production, Intercultural
Communication, Journalism (News Editorial), Sales, Public Relations, and Visual
Communications.

The Journalism (News Editorial) major prepares students for careers as reporters,
writers and editors for daily and weekly newspapers, magazines, wire services,
publishing houses and for the vast array of publications that serve the church,
business, industry, governmental agencies, the medical field, colleges and
universities, and other non-profit organizations.

Students enrolling in the Broadcast Journalism major receive preparation for
careers in commercial and non-commercial radio and television as reporters,
producers, videographers, and managers.

Public Relations majors are prepared for careers in business, industry,
government, the church, colleges, universities, hospitals, and other medical
institutions, and in a wide range of organizations.

Students graduating with a degree in Intercultural Communication may find
work in multi-national corporations, non-profit organizations, government
agencies, and a variety of religious and education institutions. Students who
pursue this degree are prepared to seek employment as communication specialists
in culturally diverse settings.

Students graduating with the Bachelor of Science in Mass Communication have
a broad communication education with a selected specialty that prepares them for
a large variety of communication jobs in the church, in corporations, and also in
non-profit organizations.

A degree in Web Publishing is designed to prepare students who want to design
and/or maintain web pages. The program is structured to accommodate both
those interested in pursuing web publishing within a company as well as those
who want to use entrepreneurial skills in running their own web design company.

All of the school's majors prepare students for entry into graduate schools
nationwide.

The associate degree in Media Technology prepares the student for entry level
positions in media production, desktop publishing, or web design.

The Advertising minor combined with such majors as Public Relations prepares
students for careers in advertising copywriting, advertising design (when coupled
with a second minor in Art), and creative directing.

The Sales minor combined with a Broadcast major prepares the student for a job
as account executive, promotion director, or a media buyer as well as in station
promotion. By adding the Sales minor, a student multiplies job opportunities in the
field of broadcasting.

1 48 School of Journalism and Communication

Members of the faculty will advise each student in planning a study program
that is supportive of individual career goals, that meets degree requirements of the
School of Journalism and Communication, and fulfills General Education
requirements.

INTERNSHIPS AND ON-THE-JOB TRAINING

Because of the strong relationships which the school has developed with the
Chattanooga area mass media, students in journalism, broadcasting, and public
relations have many opportunities to meet and work with professionals in
television and radio news, in public relations, advertising, and on daily and
weekly newspapers.

Internships: Helping students locate internships on newspapers, in publishing
houses, in public relations and fund development departments, in advertising
agencies, and in radio and television newsrooms is a vital part of the education
program provided by the school.

An Advisory Council and a Consulting Board advise the school in providing
internships that give on-the-job experience. The school also participates in the
General Conference internship program in which students work in various
denominational institutions. The University radio station, WSMC FM90.5, and
other media outlets provide learning opportunities for students in a number of
courses.

Campus Publications: Students can gain valuable experience as writers, editors,
and producers by working on Student Association publications such as Southern
Accent, the campus newspaper; Southern Memories, the yearbook; and Strawberry
Festival, the annual multi-media review of the year.

ASSESSMENT

To make satisfactory progress toward preparation for the job market, students
majoring in the school will be expected to attend school assemblies and other
professional meetings sponsored by the school.*

Students should demonstrate their growing professionalism through
involvement in the operation of WSMC FM90.5; in the publication of the Southern
Accent, Southern Memories, or some other publication; or in communication
activities for a campus, church, or community organization.

Participation in the school Communication Club and the Society of Adventist
Communicators as well as student membership in a national professional
organization such as the Society of Professional Journalists, the International
Association of Business Communicators, or the Public Relations Student Society
of America are also evidence of professional commitment.

School files for each student majoring in the school serve as a source of
information for teachers asked to provide recommendations for students seeking
practicums, internships, or job positions.

Students in the school will be given a writing skills test when they enter the
school. On the basis of the results, advisers will recommend any needed
remediation, which students must complete before registering for other writing
courses offered by the school.

School effectiveness will be assessed by combining the results of the cumulative
evaluations, student evaluations of courses, questionnaires completed by
supervisors of interns, alumni, and workshop attendees. To determine that the

School of Journalism and Communication 149

curriculum meets the objectives of the school and the standards of the Accrediting
Council of Education in Journalism and Mass Communication, the faculty makes
an ongoing analysis of courses required for majors.

JOB OUTLOOK

Because of the decline in government support of nonprofit, it is more valuable
than ever that nonprofit managers have fund development skills. The B.S. in
Nonprofit Administration and Development degree is designed to provide both
training and internships in fund development as well as in management.

The demand for graduates with these competencies is high with an estimated
50,000 needed annually to fill new staff vacancies. More than one million
nonprofit organizations are at work across the country, employing 9 million
people and aided by nearly 90 million volunteers. The Bureau of Labor predicts

School of Journalism and Communication 157

a 45% increase in the need for youth and human service professionals by the year
2002, when government support of the nonprofit sector will decline by 28% or
$125 billion.

Mathematics

Chair: Arthur Richer!

Faculty: Kevin Brown, Robert Moore

Throughout recorded history mathematics and mathematical thinking have
influenced man's culture to an extent that even many well-educated people fail to
appreciate. The Elements of Euclid, the invention of a place-value numeration
system, the invention of the calculus, the development of statistical inference, and
more recently the development of computers, to name just a few, are
mathematical contributions to civilization which have significantly affected the
philosophies, commerce, science, and technology of mankind.

The Mathematics Department seeks to transmit this mathematical heritage to
the students of Southern Adventist University by (1) introducing students to
mathematical concepts and techniques and the disciplined, logical thinking
required to successfully apply them to a variety of problem-solving experiences,
(2) providing a stage in the formal education of professional mathematicians, (3)
educating teachers of mathematics, and (4) providing appropriate courses for users
of mathematics.

ASSESSMENT

All mathematics majors are required to take the Educational Testing Service
Major Field Achievement Test in mathematics during the final semester of their
senior year. All actuarial studies majors are required to take the Society of
Actuaries Course 1 examination. The results of these examinations are used in
ongoing review of the departmental curriculum.

Modern Languages

Chair: Carlos H. Parra

Faculty: Mari-Carmen Gal lego

Adjunct Faculty: Darwin Ayscue, Sam James, Helmut Ott

This department combines language study with overseas experiences and other
academic courses to administer an inter-disciplinary degree in International Studies
that will enhance students' ability to live and work in an international setting.
Students discover French, German, and Spanish not only as living languages but
also as reflections of the cultures and the peoples they represent. The aim is to
provide an aesthetic and historical background and a practical linguistic skill in the
event the student becomes an overseas traveler or worker.

The ability to communicate with people is increasingly essential in today's
shrinking world, and an acquaintance with a foreign culture should be part of the
background of educated persons, particularly those with a sense of world mission.
By introducing students to a foreign language and exposing them to another
culture, the Department of Modern Languages helps them overcome stereotypes
and prejudices, fosters a spirit of appreciation and inclusiveness, and facilitates
their communication and interaction with persons of a different language and
culture.

ASSESSMENT

The assessment of majors in International Studies consists of three basic parts:
First the candidates write an evaluation of the departmental program to state their
perception of the program's effectiveness in achieving its objectives. Second, the
candidates take a departmental exam to demonstrate their degree of success in
achieving near native mastery of the target language in the areas of listening,
reading, writing, and speaking. Third, the candidates take an oral examination
focusing on their knowledge and appreciation of the culture of the peoples who
speak the target language. A key element of this interview is the candidates' ability
to compare and contrast the target culture with their own, and to show how they
relate, contribute to, and enrich each other.

FOREIGN STUDY

Adventist Colleges Abroad. Southern Adventist University is a member of the
consortium of colleges and universities which, under the auspices of the General
Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, supports the Adventist Colleges Abroad
program. ACT provides an opportunity for students of French, German, or Spanish
to achieve proficiency in the foreign language amid the added advantages of an
authentic cultural setting.

The language schools operated by the following institutions are affiliates of
ACT: in Austria, Seminar Schloss Bogenhofen, Braunau; in France, Centre
Universitaireet P&iagogique du Salfcve, Collonges-sous-Sal^ve; in Spain, Colegio
Adventista de Sagunto, Sagunto; and in Argentina, Universidad Adventista del

School of Music

Dean: W.Scott Ball

Faculty: J. Bruce Ashton, Brandon Beck, Julie Boyd-Penner, Judith Glass,

Laurie Redmer
Adjunct Faculty: Ken Cardillo, Jan Cochrane, Charles Griffin, James Hanson,

Elaine Janzen, Nora Kile, Bruce Kuist, Lynda Magee-Johnson, Mark Reneau,

Niolasa Tejero, Gary Wilkes, Mark Zelmanovitch

The faculty of the School of Music believes that music is one of the arts given
to man by his Creator to be used in the worship of God and to enhance the quality
of man's life. In harmony with this philosophy, course work is offered which meets
the needs of the general university student as well as music majors and minors.

The School of Music offers two baccalaureate degrees, the Bachelor of Music
degree in music education and the Bachelor of Science degree in music. Both
degrees require courses in music theory and history, as well as a high level of
achievement in a major performance area. The Bachelor of Music degree
emphasizes the skills necessary for teaching music, with special emphasis on the
training of teachers for the Seventh-day Adventist school system. The Bachelor of
Science degree affords the student the opportunity to choose one of threetracks:
(1) General, (2) Music Theory and Literature, (3) Music Performance.

ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS

Music majors must fulfill all the general admission requirements of the
University. In addition, a prospective music major is required to take written and
aural entrance examinations in music theory and a performance examination in
the applied concentration. To obtain freshman standing as a music major, the
student must qualify for MUCT 1 1 1 and MUPF 1 89.

Further information regarding the entrance examinations may be obtained by
writing the Dean of the School of Music.

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

Functional Piano: All music majors must pass a functional piano examination
or pass four hours of piano secondary. (The latter may not be used as part of the
applied music requirement in the Vocal/General Endorsement for teacher
certification.) The functional piano examination includes the playing of hymns,
scales, triads, arpeggios, several moderately easy compositions and
accompaniments, and the harmonization of simple folk melodies. The functional
piano examination should be passed during the first week of the first semester in
residence or the student must register for applied piano instruction.

Applied Music Credit: One semester hour of credit will be given for fourteen
half-hour lessons with a minimum of four hours of practice per lesson. Applied
music concentration grades are assigned following a jury examination at the end
of each semester. (See Music Lesson Fees under Financial Policies section of this
catalog.)

Concert and Recital Attendance: Full-time music majors (students taking 12 or
more credits) are required to attend, as a non-performer, six School approved
concerts per semester, except for the student teaching semester. Attendance shall

School of Music 1 75

include faculty and senior recitals in the student's applied concentration. area.
Failure to meet this requirement will nullify music major status.

Music Ensemble Participation: All music majors are required to participate in an
appropriate music ensemble every semester in full-time residence (12 or more
hours). During the student teaching semester, students are exempted from this
requirement. Teacher certification candidates must, however, complete eight hours
of appropriate ensembles. Appropriate ensembles are defined as follows: string
majors, Symphony Orchestra; wind and percussion majors, Concert Band; voice
majors, Southern Singers; keyboard majors, any of the above. Students are
encouraged to participate in a variety of other ensembles as time permits.

ASSESSMENT

The School of Music has an ongoing program of student assessment. This
program includes the following:

1. PERFORMANCE EVALUATIONS
a. Performance Concentration:

Music Performance Concentration (MUPF 189, 389) grades will be
based on the student having met the following criteria:

1 . Completed at least 14 lessons for the semester. (One-half hour
lesson -one semester hour credit; one hour lesson -two semester
hours credit; etc.)

2. Practiced a minimum of four hours each week for each semester
hour of credit. The student will keep a "Daily Practice Log* for
his/her verification of meeting this requirement. (Two semester 7
hours of credit -eight hours of practice per week.)

3. Studied, completed, and performed sufficient literature to warrant
the credit hours for which the individual is registered. (The
number, length, and/or difficulty level of the work(s) studied and
of the work(s) prepared for performance are the basis for this
criterion. Where appropriate, other factors such as memorization
will be considered.)

4. Completed the end of the semester jury audition examination and
received a performance grade as determined by the Music Faculty
(50%) and the Private Lesson Instructor (50%).

Unsatisfactory performance in any item above will impact the final
Performance Concentration grade.

A grade of C- or lower will not count toward the Performance
Concentration requirements.

A grade of C or lower for two consecutive semesters will result in the
student being dropped as a Music Major. Reinstatement can only be
achieved by applying to the Music Faculty and successfully completing
an audition for reinstatement in the Performance Concentration area.
Audition for reinstatement may be requested only once.

1 76 School of Music

b. Performance Secondary :

T. Completed at least 14 lessons for the semester. (One-half hour
lesson -one semester hour credit; one hour lesson -two semester
hours credit.)

2. Practiced a minimum of four hours per week for each semester
hour of credit. The student will keep a "Daily Practice Log* for
his/her verification of meeting this requirement. (Two semester
hours credit -eight hours practice per week.)

3. Studied, completed, and performed sufficient literature at the
individual student's level to warrant the credit hours for which the
individual is registered.

Unsatisfactory performance in any item above will impact the final
Performance Secondary grade.

2. JUNIOR STANDING

Music majors must apply for junior standing at the end of the sophomore year.
These requirements are as follows:

a. An overall grade point average of 2.00 for the Bachelor of Science degree and
2.75 for the Bachelor of Music degree.

b. A grade point average of 2.75 in all music courses.

Bachelor of Science; (c) Probation; (d) Fail. Junior Standing requirements must be
met at least two semesters before graduation.

3. SENIOR RECITAL

All music degree candidates will present a senior recital. The student must be w
registered for private instruction while preparing for the senior recital. A faculty
audition of the complete program must be scheduled at least three weeks before the
recital date. Unsatisfactory performance at this audition will result in a rescheduling
of the recital date.

Following the senior recital, the music faculty will vote to either accept the
performance or to require all or portions of the recital to be repeated. The student
will not be cleared for graduation until successful completion of the senior recital.
Upon music faculty approval, the senior recital requirement may be partially fulfilled
through a conducting or chamber music performance.

4. SENIOR ASSESSMENT EXAMINATION

During the senior year each graduating senior will take the nationally standardized
Major Field Achievement Test. The results of this examination will be used to help
determine the effectiveness of the music program and the competency level of the
graduates.

MISSION STATEMENT

Southern Adventist University's School of Nursing provides a Christian learning
environment that fosters personal and professional excellence in caring for
individual, family, and community health needs.

ASSOCIATE AND BACCALAUREATE PROGRAMS

The School of Nursing (SON) program at Southern Adventist University leads
to a baccalaureate degree in nursing with the option to exit at the associate degree
level. Students entering the nursing program are encouraged to declare the
baccalaureate degree when they first apply to the SON. Licensed holders of an
associate degree from an accredited program in nursing may progress into
baccalaureate level nursing. Licensed diploma and associate degree graduates from
a non-accredited program will be evaluated on an individual basis.

The nursing curriculum is based on the Neuman Systems Model (NSM) which
emphasizes wholistic health. The curriculum in the first two years leads to an
Associate of Science degree in nursing which may be completed in four semesters,
plus summer courses. At this time the student is eligible to write state board
examinations (NCLEX) to become a registered nurse.

The curriculum in the Baccalaureate Program provides the student an in-depth
study in theoretical and clinical nursing. Diploma graduates will be required to
participate in validation procedures designed to evaluate their previous program
of study.

A new class is accepted into the associate degree program in fall and winter
semesters of each year with a limited number of students due to available clinical
facilities. Students may enter the baccalaureate program in the fall and winter
semesters. The size of baccalaureate classes may be limited due to available
clinical sites.

A well-equipped Learning Resource Center (LRC), clinical skills laboratory, and
Assisting Students to Achieve Professionally (ASAP) program are provided to assist
students in learning experiences

POLICIES

Students admitted to clinical courses are considered adequately mature to
realize the importance of accepting personal responsibility for their learning and
professional behavior as stated in the SON Handbook.

Each student contracts to abide by the regulations as outlined. The programs
on the Collegedale cahnpus and extension campus are governed by the same
policies.

Students will be expected to provide their own transportation for all clinical
appointments.

School of Nursing 189

Because regular tuition charges and fees do not cover the total cost of nursing,
a nursing education fee is charged each semester to help offset additional
expenses which are not covered by regular tuition, (see Special Fees and Charges
under Financial Policies section of the catalog.)

The Tennessee State Board of Nursing and other State Boards reserve the right
to deny licensure in their states if the applicant has committed a crime other than
a minor traffic violation. The SON reserves the right to deny admission to or
remove students from a nursing program who have records of misconduct, legal
or otherwise, that would jeopardize their professional performance.

The SON reserves the right to revise, add, or withdraw policies and/or courses
as necessary to ensure a quality nursing program.

ACCREDITATION

The programs in nursing are fully accredited by the National League for Nursing
Accrediting Commission (61 Broadway, New York, NY 10006, (212)363-5555,
ext. 153). They are recognized by Accrediting Association of Seventh-day
Adventist Schools, Colleges, and Universities, Florida State Board of Independent
College and Universities, and approved by the Tennessee Board of Nursing.
Additional information regarding the University may be obtained by contacting the
State Board of Independent Colleges and Universities, Department of Education,
Tallahassee, FL 32399, (850)488-8695.

ASSESSMENT

The SON has an ongoing assessment program. Each associate degree student
is required to pass a standardized competency test given upon completion of Level
II before progressing to Level III of the curriculum. During Level IV, the student
must pass a standardized comprehensive examination to be eligible for graduation.
The associate degree graduate is eligible to take the NCLEX-RN examination. The
Tennessee State Board of Nursing (TBN) requires an annual pass rate 85% or
higher on the NCLEX-RN for a school to maintain TBN approval.

To evaluate the baccalaureate graduates' academic progress, during the last
semester of the senior year, each student is required to complete an exit
examination.

To aid the SON in evaluating teacher/curriculum effectiveness, associate and
baccalaureate graduates are required to complete end of program surveys.

The B.S. degree in physics gives the strongest physics foundation for any
physics-related career. The B.A. degree in physics with teaching certification is
recommended for a career in secondary teaching. The B.S. degree in biophysics
should be considered by students planning on advanced study in the fields of
medicine, biophysics, physiology, radiation biology, and bioengineering,
particularly in view of a career in medical research.

ASSESSMENT

To help the graduates in Physics evaluate their academic progress and to aid
the department in evaluating teaching effectiveness, each senior is required to:

1 . Take the physics portion of the GRE. A score above the 35th percentile
is necessary for recommendation for graduate study.

2. Take PHYS 480 and do original research as a prerequisite.

Alumni are surveyed and studies are prepared comparing GRE results, careers,
and graduate-study success. Information gained from the assessments and studies
is used to evaluate departmental programs.

214 School of Religion

Student Assessment

The quality of the School's graduates as well as its general students is assessed
by:

1 . A 1 6PF taken by all Theology majors in their sophomore and senior years with
norms arrived at by extensive research of the performance of successful
Adventist pastors. If a student's scores differ greatly from these norms, the
faculty member assigned to administer the test meets with the student to
discuss potential difficulties and to suggest strategies for improvement. This
may involve referral to a professional for personal or career counseling.
Classes in Homiletics, Church Ministry, Interpersonal Ministry, and the
Summer Field School of Evangelism measure the student's proficiency in those
areas. A performance evaluation is submitted by the instructor(s) and kept in
the student's file for future reference. This may involve referral to a professional
for personal or career counseling.

2. The 16PF is administered by the School of Education and Psychology to all
Religious Education majors. If the student's scores indicate potential
difficulties, the School of Religion is asked to assist in strategies for
improvement.

3. A cumulative record of Religious Studies majors is kept as a source of
information and recommendation. This record includes data needed for
academic advisement and guidance for graduate work or placement.

4. The religion portion of the annual assessment testing program is prepared by
the General Education Committee and is administered to all students through
the office of the Vice President for Academic Administration.

NOTE: A summary of the evaluations referred to above will be made available in the form of a check
sheet to prospective employers who request it and will be signed by the School Dean on behalf
of the Religion faculty. The School itself cannot guarantee employment.

PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS

Admission to Theology Program

Students seeking admission to the ministerial program with its major in
Theology must make formal application during the second semester of the
sophomore year. (Upper class transfer students must apply during the second
semester in residence.) An evaluation and decision by the religion faculty of the
student's overall potential for success in ministry, including consideration of the
applicant's academic progress, emotional stability, social and professional skills
determine individual acceptance as a Ministerial Trainee, If at any time, after
being admitted to the program, trainees give evidence of failing to maintain
commitment to the criteria or preparation for ministry, they forfeit their standing
as trainees and the faculty's recognition in their senior year as Ministerial
Candidates. Acceptance into the ministerial program as a trainee and a candidate
is required for the completion of the major in theology. Students not accepted into
the program may choose to complete a major in Religious Studies.

Trainees:

Students may apply to the ministerial program for trainee status by mid-term
of the first semester of their sophomore year. These applications will be
considered during the last half of the first semester, and announced by semester's
end.

The Religious Education Program is coordinated with the School of Education
and Psychology for the University. Planning for certification by the states and/or
endorsement by the Seventh-day Adventist church for Bible teaching is made with
the certifying officer of the School of Education and Psychology, both for

found in the University catalog under the School of Education and Psychology and
obtained from the secretary of the School in Summerour Hall.

Teacher Certification and Endorsement

Those seeking Tennessee State Certification must fulfill requirements listed on
page 1 1 3 of this catalog.

Admission to Religious Studies

The Religious Studies major is a liberal arts major for students interested in
pursuing a degree other than a Theology or Religious Education degree, or by
students preparing for professional fields such as medicine, dentistry, law, and
other graduate studies.

It is a liberal arts major and provides a balanced selection of both biblical
studies and theology courses. The four-year degree candidate may apply the
required 12 hours of General Education courses in religion toward the hours
needed for the major, thus reducing the number of extra courses needed to
qualify.

Admission to Archaeology

The Archaeology major is a liberal arts major for students interested in
preparing for graduate studies in archaeology, museum studies, of cultural
resource management or as preparation for professional field such as medicine,
dentistry, law, or education. Students choosing to major in archaeology must
consult with the director of the Institute of Archaeology to determine their area of
interest in Near Eastern or Classical Studies and to lay plans for participation in
archaeological fieldwork.

The four year degree candidate may apply the required 12 hours of General
Education courses in religion towards the hours for the major, thus reducing the
number of extra courses needed to qualify.

Admission to the Bible Instructor or Literature Evangelist Program

The Bible Worker and Literature Evangelist Program is a 64 hour, two-year
degree leading to an A.A. in Religion. Students wishing to be recommended for
employment as Bible instructors or literature evangelists must be approved by the
School of Religion. The School of Religion cannot recommend for employment
anyone whose course of study has been inadequate or unapproved.

General Education Courses in Religion

The objective in all religion courses is to enhance knowledge of and
appreciation for the Scriptures, and to assist the student in gaining and maintaining
a vital involvement with Jesus Christ, and a personal commitment to serve family,
church, community, and the world. Six semester hours of religion are required of
the two-year graduate, and 12 semester hours of the four-year graduate. This is
equivalent to one three-hour course per year which may be selected from any of
the religion courses offered. Bachelor degree students must take at least three
semester hours at the upper division level. (Detailed information on General
Education requirements are found in the University catalog.)

Family Studies

Chair: Ed Lamb

Faculty: Valerie L. Radu, Terrie Ruff

PROGRAMS IN SOCIAL WORK AND FAMILY STUDIES

The Social Work and Family Studies Department offers a degree in Social Work
(accredited by the Council on Social Work Education) and in Family Studies.
Minors are also available in Behavioral Science, Family Studies, Social Work, and
Sociology.

The curricula for both the BSW and Family Studies degrees include computer
content and hands-on experience intended to enable majors to develop
elementary skills including word processing, spreadsheet, database, Internet, CD
ROMS, video— interactive, and statistical analysis. Majors are encouraged to have
their own personal computers (PCs) if possible.

SOCIAL WORK

The study of social work is one of the most exciting and important fields of
inquiry and practice within the people sciences. A historic and defining feature
of the social work profession is its focus on individual well-being within a social
context coupled with a keen interest in the well-being of society as a whole.
Particular attention is given to the needs and empowerment of people who are
vulnerable, oppressed, and living in poverty. Fundamental to social work is its
emphasis on environmental forces that create, contribute to, as well as ameliorate
problems of human existence.

The Bachelor of Science in Social Work (BSW) prepares students for entry-level
social work generalist baccalaureate practice. The BSW is the foundation degree
for social work careers in mental health, child welfare, health care, public welfare,
schools, family service, developmental disabilities, service to the aged, industry,
business and labor, and criminal justice. The degree is designed to also prepare
students for informed community participation in social welfare issues. The BSW
is the preferred preparation for the terminal graduate practice degree, the Masters
of Social Work, (MSW). Job opportunities in the social work field are projected
to grow at an above average rate during the near future.

The program makes available a number of experiences, both curricular and
extracurricular, to enrich its students' academic experience. Multiple volunteer
opportunities deepen understanding and compassion. A number of field
experiences enhance commitment and skill building. National and international
study tours are available to engender cross-cultural and global perspectives (see
below). The center piece of the applied dimension of the curriculum is the 450
hour FIELD PRACTICUMS INTERNSHIP in which each student participates in 'real
life* experience while being supervised by a seasoned and credentialed
professional social worker.

Extracurricular opportunities include membership in the National Association
of Social Workers and the Phi Alpha Honor Society. Social Work Month is
celebrated each March. The Edward Lamb Community Scholarship Fund provides
opportunity to develop fund raising skills, socialization for social service
commitment, and monies for the educational expenses of exemplary students.

STUDENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE

This committee is made up of two elected students from each class, freshman
through senior, and two students elected at large. This committee provides a
formalized student voice concerning any aspect of the social work program (see
Student Handbook).

POLICIES

Students who are admitted to the social work program are considered
adequately mature to realize the importance of accepting personal responsibility
for their learning and professional behavior.

The social work program Student Handbook outlines the policies of the
program. Each student accepted into the program is responsible to become
acquainted with and to abide by these policies.

Transportation for volunteer and practicums experiences is not provided by the
program. Students will be expected to provide their own transportation and make
arrangements to share this expense with fellow students participating in the same
experiences.

The social work program reserves the right to deny admission to and to remove
students from the social work program who have an unresolved felony on record
in any state and who have records of misconduct, legal and otherwise, that would
jeopardize their professional performance.

The social work program reserves the right to revise, add, and withdraw policies
and/or courses as necessary to ensure a quality social work program.

ACCREDITATION

The social work program has achieved full national accreditation with the
Council on Social Work Education.

ADMISSION PROCEDURES

Admission to Southern Adventist University does not automatically enroll the
student in the social work program. Declaration as a social work major is not
equivalent of acceptance to the program. The final decision on acceptance and
continuation in the program is made by the program Admissions and Progressions
Committee.

Social Work and Family Studies 231

During the second semester of the freshmen year the student is to complete an
autobiography and a written essay on a specific social policy.

During the first semester of the sophomore year the student is to file a formal
application to the social work program (refer to the Student Handbook for
specifics). Application forms may be obtained from the office manager in the
program office. Minimum requirements for admission to the program and upper
division courses are listed below:

1 . Acceptance to Southern Adventist University.

2. Completion of application form and statement.

3. Submission of a current unofficial transcript.

4. Have an overall grade point average of 2.50 or higher (exceptions may be
made for persons who do not meet the grade point average requirements if
they are strong candidates on the basis of other criteria).

5 Have completed SOCW 211: Introduction to Social Work and/or SOCW
21 2: Social Welfare as an Institution with a grade of C or higher.

6. Show evidence of physical, mental, and moral fitness. Further references
may be required regarding character, altitude, and coping ability in case of
a question in this area.

7. Students whose native language is not English must achieve at least 550 on
the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL).

8. Have taken the Taylor-Johnson Temperament Analysis and the Jackson
Personality Inventory. The student is to make arrangements with the
University Counseling and Testing Center to take these tests.

9. Completion of a successful interview with the Admissions and Progressions
Committee.

The Committee reviews the application material, conducts the interview, and
makes a decision concerning the application. Applicants are notified of the
Committee's decision by a letter from the program director. An applicant denied
admission to the social work program may appeal the denial decision in person
and/or in writing to the Admission and Progressions Committee. If this process is
unsatisfactory to the student, the University appeals process described in this
catalog may be followed.

TRANSFER STUDENTS

Students intending to major in social work who are attending other colleges or
universities, or who are transferring from another major at Southern Adventist
University, will be expected to apply for admission to the Social Work Program by
April 1 of their sophomore year. IN ORDER TO STAY ON SCHEDULE WITH THE
SEQUENCE OF SOCIAL WORK PROGRAM COURSES, AN INTRODUCTORY
SOCIAL WELFARE/SOCIAL WORK COURSE, INCLUDING 40 HOURS OF
DOCUMENTED VOLUNTEER EXPERIENCE, MUST BE TAKEN BEFORE
ENTERING THE SOCIAL WORK PROGRAM.

Those applying to the social work major after their sophomore year will be
considered on a case by case basis. If the introductory course has not been
completed, it is taken the first semester after declaring social work as a major. This
will delay admission consideration until the following semester and may result in
graduation taking more than four years.

The social work program seeks to maintain a heterogenous student body by
enrolling students who represent diverse backgrounds and cultural perspectives.

232 Social Work and Family Studies

FIELD PRACTICUMS

The social work field practicums is designed to provide students with a chance
to put into practice the theories and skills they have learned in the classroom. The
practice of social work is a combination of theory and interpersonal skills with the
field practicums a key component of the educational process. The focus of the
field practicums is on the interactional process between student worker and client
system(s) and the testing and use of specific interventions; students have the
opportunity to connect the theory and knowledge with actual practice experience.
This experience is essential to developing the entry level helping skills required of
all undergraduate social work professionals. The nature of the field practicums is
practice-oriented, builds on skills and theories learned in cognate social work
classes, and involves direct contact and intervention with individuals, families, and
groups; only social work majors may take the field practicums and must have met
the required prerequisites. The field practicums experience is eight (8) credit hours
which are taken concurrently with the Integrative Field Seminar.

ASSESSMENT

The social work program maintains a comprehensive assessment policy. In
order to provide for evaluation of the program and monitoring teaching
effectiveness, as well as measuring the achievements of graduates, all seniors are
required to:

1. Take a standardized social work achievement test (PACAT) in the winter
semester of the senior year.

2. Present a personal portfolio of papers, case materials, and video to the
program faculty (see Student Handbook).

3. Complete a graduating senior survey.

4. Take part in a seniors group exit interview.

5. Present a report on a piece of original research they have designed in the
research classes and completed during the field practicums. This report will
be part of the Senior Seminar and Field Practicums Integrative Seminar.

Program effectiveness will be assessed by combining the results of the above
cumulative evaluations. An ongoing analysis of courses and course content
required for majors is made by the social work faculty to assure that the curriculum
meets the objectives of the program and the standards of the national accrediting
body, the Council on Social Work Education.

FAMILY STUDIES

The Family Studies degree is interdisciplinary in nature and combines various
dimensions of the social sciences along with a strong liberal arts foundation to
gain an understanding of individuals and families. The major is for those students
wishing to prepare for graduate study in community and/or family counseling, law,
personnel work, sociology of the family, or family life education.

ASSESSMENT

To help the graduates in Family Studies evaluate their academic progress and to
aid the department in evaluating teaching effectiveness, each senior is required to:

1 . Take an oral exam during the fall semester of the senior year that will be
based on assigned readings and course work material.

2. Present a personal portfolio of papers and case material to the departmental
faculty.

Social Work and Family Studies 233

Information gained from the above assessments is used to evaluate departmental
programs, but it will not affect graduation eligibility.

DEPARTMENT STUDY TOURS

The Social Work and Family Studies Department sponsors a study tour to New
York City yearly during Thanksgiving vacation and a study tour to Europe every
other summer. The objectives of these tours are to facilitate a better understanding
of peoples and cultures and to enable the participants to work with people more
effectively. Academic credit is given for these tours and each requires classroom

School of
Visual Art and Design

Dean: Wayne Hazen

Faculty: Randall Craven, Terry Deitrich, David George, Frank Mirande,

Maria Roybal-Hazen, Dean Scott
Adjunct Faculty: Colin Brady, John Cline, Jeff Dever, Brian Dunne,

Zachary Gray, Douglas Lively

Basic to the philosophy of the School of Visual Art and Design is the provision
for the quality of environment most conducive to spiritual, aesthetic, and technical
growth. The instructors desire to help all students become aware of their options
in the field of art and to prepare them systematically to meet the needs of their
respective choices, whether they are oriented commercially or aesthetically.

The Bachelor of Science degree in Graphic Design prepares the student in the
majors of graphic design, animation and technical direction. The growing fields
in visual arts production offer opportunities for the Christian artist hardly ventured
into up to this point in video and film.

The Bachelor of Fine Arts degree is designed to prepare the fine artist to enter
graduate school with a strong background in art history and painting. Students
also have the opportunity to focus in Art History to prepare for leadership in
community council for the arts, museums, and galleries.

Art Therapy, a pre-professional program, prepares the art student for a post-
graduate degree designed to focus on the helping relationship.

ASSESSMENT

Students in the School of Visual Art and Design will keep a portfolio of their
work from their freshman year onward. This portfolio is reviewed twice on a
yearly basis by the school's faculty. Recommendations are made, on the basis of
these reviews, to aid in the student advisement. The effectiveness of the school
is determined by the reviews of senior portfolios by visiting graduate deans of
selected graduate art school and by visiting professionals in the respective fields.
Due to the nature of art and the required talent and discipline for success in the
field, a grade average of 85%(B) is required as a prerequisite for any internship or
practicums. Also, due to the difficulty of the classes we strongly recommend that
students achieve a grade of 85% before going on to the next class in a sequence.

original artwork. A basic knowledge of human development and psychological
theories for understanding human behavior are gained by the completion of a
psychology minor. A sensitive recognition of the professional helping relationship
developed within the Chri$t<entered, redemptive philosophy of healing and
education is nurtured as well.

Major— B.S. Art-Graphic Design (58-63 Hours)

The Graphic Design course will prepare students to enter the exciting and
competitive world of graphic design. Today's graphic designers need to have
good eye-hand coordination, knowledge of art history, and the ability to work with
the Macintosh computer. They also need to work with their hands in order to
achieve a high professional level and a competitive place in the market.
Excellence in this field depends on discipline and hard work combined with skill
and talent. In graphic design, students have room to unleash their own ideas and
watch them come true by creating their own universe of places, object, and
characters. Students will be assisted by graphic artists in an environment that
promotes the highest principles and moral values.

acquainted with the entrance requirements of various law schools. This will make
possible the planning of a preprofessional program which will qualify the student
for admission to several schools.

It is a general requirement that students complete a bachelor's degree before
entering law school. Although no particular major is required, five fields should
be especially considered by the student serious about law school. These are:
business, history, English, journalism, and behavioral science. Certain courses
recommended by all law schools include American history, freshman
composition, principles of accounting, American government, principles of
economics, English history, business law, and mathematics. Pre-law students
should concentrate on developing their analytical, verbal, and writing skills.

It is recommended that students plan a curriculum that includes study of the
humanities and social sciences to provide a solid preparation for the future role of
the physician.

Applicants are also encouraged to obtain experience where they are directly
involved in the providing of health care. The Biology Department collaborates
with Chattanooga's Erlanger Medical Center in a premedical preceptorship
program. This program provides the opportunity for upper division pre-medical
students to shadow resident physicians in the hospital for up to 24-hour periods.

The applicant is required to have taken the new Medical College Admission Test
(MCAT) prior to consideration by the admissions committee. This exam is
administered twice a year— in August and April. Application for the exam is made
through the Counseling and Testing Center one to two months before the exam is
scheduled. For entrance into medical school following graduation, the student
should plan on taking the MCAT in April of the junior year or in August preceding
the senior year. All of the above required science courses should be completed by
this time to insure maximum performance on the MCAT exam.

Once or twice each year representatives from LLU and other schools of
medicine visit the campus to interview prospective students. Premedical students
are encouraged to make appointments to speak with them.

Most medical schools are members of the American Medical College
Application Service (AMCAS). Applications must be submitted through this
service. The AMCAS application may be obtained from the Counseling and
Testing Office or directly from AMCAS and should be sent directly to AMCAS
between June 16 and November 1 for entry into medical school the following
year.

American Medical College Application Service

Washington, DC 20036-1989

After receiving the applications from AMCAS, the admissions office of the
medical school reviews the candidates and determines whether or not
supplementary information is needed.

Medical schools usually require a letter of recommendation from the pre-
professional recommendation committee of the applicant's undergraduate college.
Senior pre-medical students are asked to provide the names and addresses of all
medical schools to which they are applying to the Vice President for Academic
Administration's office before October 1 .

266 Non-Degree Preprofessional Programs

Following a careful evaluation of the supplementary application and letters of
recommendation submitted to the admissions office, selected applicants may be
invited for a personal interview by the medical school.

OPTOMETRY

Adviser: Chris Hansen

The admission requirements to colleges of optometry vary, so the student should
follow the catalog from the school of his/her choice. However, all place emphasis
on biology, chemistry, mathematics and physics. Additional courses in the areas
of fine arts, language, literature, and the social sciences are usually necessary.

A minimum of two years of preoptometric study is required. However,
additional study increases the prospects of acceptance into professional training.

VETERINARY MEDICINE

Adviser: Stephen A. Nyirady

Competition for admission to colleges of veterinary medicine is keen.
Consequently, most successful applicants have completed a degree rather than the
minimum requirements listed below. It should also be noted that it is difficult to
be accepted in any veterinary institution other than the school in the state where
the applicant resides.

The applicant must make a satisfactory score on the Veterinary College.
Admission Test (VCAT) in addition to meeting grade point average and personal
qualifications for admission. Professional training involves four years of veterinary
school beyond college.

Minimum admission requirements to the University of Tennessee College of
Veterinary Medicine in Knoxville are:

BIOL 151-152, 316, 412 15 hours

CHEM 151-152, 311-312, 331 19 hours

Admission requirements will vary between veterinary schools; therefore, it is
recommended that the pre-veterinary student work closely with his/her adviser in
assuring that the specific requirements for the schools of his/her choice are met.

Financial Policies

STUDENT FINANCE OFFICE MISSION STATEMENT

Southern Adventist University is committed to providing every student the
opportunity to obtain a Christian education. To reach this goal, the Student
Finance Office will make every effort to work together with students toward
meeting the students' financial obligations.

STUDENT FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

Student Responsibility for University Expenses

The Student Finance Office will assist students in their financial planning.
Financial aid is available to qualified recipients in the form of grants, loans,
scholarships and work opportunities. However, responsibility for payment of
University expenses rests with the student, regardless of any assistance which may
be expected or received from federal financial aid, parents, Southern Adventist
University, denominational employers, or any other source.

Before registering, each student must submit a Payment Contract to the Student
Accounts Services Office signed by the student indicating acknowledgment of this
responsibility.

Information on student costs and means of paying those costs is given
throughout this "Financial Policies* section of the catalog to assist students in
financial planning. Student financial responsibility includes awareness of this
information.

Student Account Cash Withdrawals

Students will receive 25% of their earnings for tithe and personal items.
Additional cash withdrawals may be made by exception:

1 . Students who have sufficient financial aid to cover their tuition and books,
who live out of the residence halls, and have a no-charge ID card.

2. Students whose parents pay their accounts using Payment Plan I or II, with
written permission from their parents.

3. Students who receive Federal Work-Study earnings will receive 100% of
their earnings unless they give written permission for their earnings to be
applied directly to their student account. Further information is available
from a financial counselor.

The payroll period normally covers a two-week period and students are paid
every other Friday.

It is recommended that on-campus summer earnings remain on the students'
accounts to accumulate toward their advance payment.

Parents wishing to provide a student with cash for personal expenses should
use a means other than depositing funds to the student's account. (Further
information is available under the 'Student Banking* heading. )

Although the Cashier's Office honors VISA, MasterCard, Discover, and
American Express cards for making payments on a student's account, no cash
withdrawal service from these cards is available. This service may be obtained
from a local bank.

270 Finances

Student Check Cashing

Students are encouraged to use their home banks or a local area bank for their
personal financial services. Any exceptions must be approved by Student Accounts
Services. No third party checks will be honored.

If a check is returned by a bank for insufficient funds, account closed, or any
other reason, there will be a $20 returned check fee assessed to the student's
account.

Student Banking

For the convenience of students and/or their financial sponsors, no-fee banking
is available at the Collegedale Credit Union located in Fleming Plaza on the
University campus. Service is provided six days each week. With a $50 savings
account (membership) students can open a no-fee checking account with no
minimum balance. Several commercial banks close to the campus community
provide similar opportunities.

Student Personal Effects Liability

When determining what to bring to campus, students should remember that the
University is not responsible for the personal effects of any student even though
such effects may be required by the University for student use, or required by the
University to be stored in a designated location. University-carried insurance does
not insure the personal effects of any individual. The University recommends that
students consider carrying insurance should losses occur.

FEES AND CHARGES

Advance Payment

All students must pay an advance payment of at least $2,500 of their fees and
charges before registering for the fall semester (or $1,250, if registering for the first
time for the winter semester).

POLICES ON FEES AND CHARGES

Approved Items to Charge to Student Account

Any charges to a student's account, outside of the normal educational
expenses, must be approved by the Student Finance Office. Examples of charges
which will not be approved are student club dues and departmental or class tours.

Advance Payment

An advance payment of $2,500 of the student's fees and charges is required
before registration, with $1 ,250 being held for second semester. For new students
entering second semester the advance payment is $1,250, and all other
appropriate charges are applicable.

Scholarships and denominational tuition subsidy may not be used as part of the
advance payment, with the exception of the Student Missionary Scholarship,
HHES, and the summer camp scholarship.

Food Service Charges

The cafeteria plan of boarding allows residence hall students the privilege of
choosing food and paying only for what is selected. Students are encouraged to
eat healthfully by eating at the cafeteria, Campus Kitchen, or KR's Place. Residence
hall students are required to pay the minimum cafeteria charge of $145 per month
which will be prorated for vacations and holidays. No minimum charge is made
during the summer months.

Village students may charge food at the cafeteria, Campus Kitchen, and KR's
Place as long as their school accounts are paid monthly by the due date. Should
a village student account become 60 days past due the privilege of charging food
will be withdrawn. The food charging capability will be reactivated only after at
least one full semester of timely payments.

Books and School Supplies Charges

Books and school supplies may be charged at the Campus Shop. A student
may charge up to a maximum allowable amount for books. A separate maximum
applies to school supplies and miscellaneous items.

Finances 273

Students may not charge items from the Adventist Book Center or other book
stores to their student accounts.

Nursing Education Fees

Upon acceptance to the clinical nursing program, students are required to send
a deposit of $320 to hold their placement in the class. This deposit also serves as
the first semester's Nursing Education Associate Degree Fee, which will be charged
to the A.S. nursing student's account each subsequent semester. This fee is in
addition to all other fees. The $320 deposit is refundable to students who change
majors, or to those who never attend SAU. Requests for refund must be made
through the School of Nursing no later than August 1 .

Music Lesson Fees

In addition to the tuition charge for private music instruction courses, a music
lesson fee is charged per semester, as detailed below.
With academic credit: $134.00 plus tuition

A student will receive 14 half-hour lessons per semester.

Without academic credit: $180.00

A student will receive 14 half-hour lessons per semester.

Without academic credit: $360.00

A student will receive 14 one-hour lessons per semester.

Music majors who are currently enrolled in or have completed MUCT 111-112
and 121-122, and who have been accepted to receive credit for a concentration,
pay only one fee per semester to cover all private lessons.

Music lesson fee refunds are calculated on the basis of the number of lessons
taken during the first four weeks of the semester, after which no refunds are
granted. Students taking lessons with or without credit must submit an Add/Drop
form to the Records and Advisement Office at the time the lessons are
discontinued to be eligible for a refund.

Excused absences may be made up at the discretion of the teacher if previous
arrangements have been made. Lessons falling on holidays or during vacations will
not be made up unless this results in the student having fewer than 14 lessons for
the semester.

International Student Deposit

In addition to the regular University costs, international students must provide
an International Student Deposit of $4,000 U.S. This applies to all international
students except documented permanent residents of the U.S. or residents of
Canada and Bermuda. The deposit must be received by the Accounting Office
before a U.S. Immigration Form I-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 six weeks prior to enrollment. This deposit, once paid,
remains untouched (with interest paid at the rate of two percent less than prime,
based on the prime rate at the time of deposit) until the student graduates,
withdraws from SAU, 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.

274 Finances

Health and Accident Insurance

Southern Adventist University requires all international students to purchase
the Student Accident and Sickness Insurance Plan. All other students who are
taking six hours or more, or who are living in University housing will
automatically be enrolled in the University health and accident plan unless the
student signs a waiver card at the time of registration indicating s/he does not want
the University insurance because:

1. The student has other insurance equal to or better than the University
insurance plan.

2. The student is covered under the SDA denominational health care plan.

3. The student does not live in University-owned housing and is taking less
than six semester hours of class work during the fall and spring semesters or
less than three hours of class work in the summer.

When the credit balance is large, a portion may be refunded earlier upon request
to the Disbursements Office.

necessary credit will be applied to the aid funds, according to the Financial Aid
Refund Policy described on page 296. If any credit remains, it will be refunded
as described above.

Residence Hall/Campus Housing Charges

Residence Hall Costs

Room charges are based on two students occupying one room. Residence hall
accommodations costs for each individual are $1 ,936 for the school year. Charges
are made on a semester basis beginning in August and January. A student may,
upon application to the residence hall dean, be allowed to room alone at a cost
of $2,904. If sufficient rooms are available, s/he requires approval from the
Student Finance Office. It is the student's responsibility to have arranged for a
roommate unless specific arrangements have been made to room alone. No pets,
firearms, or weapons are allowed in the residence hall.

No refunds are made for vacation periods or absences from the campus. When
a student withdraws, a prorated portion of the semester charge, beginning with the
date of non-occupancy of the room, will be refunded.

Residence Hall Deposit and Peppsit Refund

A room deposit of $1 50 is required of each resident. To guarantee a room in
the residence hall, payment of this deposit must be made by July 15. After July 15,
no room is held for a student whose deposit has not been paid. This deposit
should be sent directly to Southern Adventist University and is held in reserve until
the student graduates and/or permanently moves out of the residence hall. The
deposit is in addition to any other payment, and is fully refundable to students
who never attend SAU or never move into the residence hall.

University Apartment Costs

University-owned apartments may be rented by married students taking a
minimum of six hours each semester. The apartments range in size from two to six
rooms and are rented furnished or unfurnished. Rents range from $265 to $379
and will be charged by semester in August and January. Rent is paid in advance
and begins when the key is issued. Charges are based on the date of issue and
return of keys and proper clearance with the office of the Vice President for
Financial Administration. No pets, firearms, or weapons are allowed in University
housing.

University Apartment Deposit and Deposit Refund

Married students and single students over 23 years of age renting an apartment
from the University pay a housing deposit of $300 to reserve an apartment. This
housing deposit is due before occupancy and is sent directly to Southern Adventist
University. The deposit is in addition to any other payment.

If a student gives notice before August 1 that s/he will not be attending, the
housing deposit will be refunded. Damage or cleaning charges may also be
charged to the student's account if the deposit is insufficient to cover these costs.

276 Finances

The housekeeping supervisor at the Service Department will determine whether
the apartment has been left clean and undamaged. A packing and moving fee may
be charged as necessary.

POLICIES ON FEE WAIVERS AND REBATES

Family Rebate

When two students from the same immediate family who have the same
financial sponsor are enrolled at Southern Adventist University's Collegedale
campus at the same time, they may receive a five percent discount on tuition and
general fee. This also applies to married student couples. A ten percent discount
will be given when three or more students from the same immediate family are
Enrolled at SAU at the same time, and have the same financial sponsor. This rebate
does not apply for summer classes. If one student is a National Merit Finalist and
receives free tuition, that student would not be eligible for the family discount.

When two students are enrolled at SAU from the same immediate family who
have the same financial sponsor, and one is a Student Missionary/Task Force
Worker and is enrolled in the 12 hour Christian Service course, the Student
Missionary/Task Force Worker will not receive an additional discount; however,
the brother or sister whp is enrolled at Southern will receive a five percent tuition

Finances 277

discount. If the Student Missionary/Task Force Worker is not enrolled in the 1 2
hour Christian Service course, no discount will be given to the sibling enrolled on
the SAU campus.

When three or more students are enrolled at SAU from the same immediate
family who have the same financial sponsor, and one is a Student Missionary/Task
Force Worker and is enrolled in the 1 2 hour Christian Service course, the Student
Missionary/Task Force Worker will not receive an additional discount; however,
the students who are enrolled at Southern will receive a 10 percent tuition
discount. If the Student Missionary/Task Force Worker is not enrolled in the 12
hour Christian Service course, a 5 percent tuition discount will be given to the
siblings enrolled on the SAU campus.

No family rebate will be given to ACT students. However, family members
will receive a family rebate according to the policy above for Student
Missionaries/Task Force Workers.

Post-graduate Tuition Plan for Undergraduate Classes

A Post-graduate Tuition Plan at a 50% tuition reduction has been established
for the purpose of assisting students who have graduated with a bachelor's degree
from Southern. The plan also allows eligible non-Southern Adventist University
graduates to enroll in classes at a 25% tuition reduction. The provisions that apply
are:

1 . To be eligible for the Post-graduate Tuition Plan, a student must have graduated
from SAU or other eligible non-SAU schools with a bachelor's degree at least two
years before entering the Post-graduate Tuition Plan.

2. Applicants must have a clear financial SAU account and all loan payments must
be up-to-date at the time of registration before the Post-graduate Tuition Plan is
approved. If a participant's account or loan payment becomes delinquent, that
student will lose his/her Post-graduate Tuition Plan privileges and cannot be
reinstated.

3. Students wishing financial aid must apply through the Student Finance Office.

4. This plan is applicable to classes where space is available and where the hiring
of new faculty or staff is not required. The Post-graduate Tuition Plan does not
include private music lessons, long-term care administration classes,
independent study, directed study, student teaching, graduate classes,
internships, A.S. nursing, the fifth year of a five-year degree program, summer
classes, or a program where a tuition discount is already in effect.

5. Since the Post-graduate Tuition Plan offer is for tuition only, it does not apply to
lab fees, surcharges for applicable courses, residence hall charges, books, or
cafeteria charges.

6. This program is open to a limited number of students. Southern Adventist
University reserves the right to discontinue or amend this special tuition offer at
the discretion of the University administration.

Tuition and Fee Waiver for Student Missionaries

Those students planning to serve as Student Missionaries and enrolling in
NOND 227 and 228, Christian Service I and II, will be charged tuition at 10% of
the current rate and will not be charged a General Fee.

Students enrolled in GEOG 306, Cultural Geography, and COMM 291/391,
Intercultural Communication Practicum, will be given a two-thirds tuition waiver.

Before final authorization may be obtained, all students going as Student
Missionaries or Task Force Workers must be cleared by the Student Accounts
Services.

Senior Citizen Tuition Plan

Persons over 65 years of age may audit any regular college course free of
charge, provided there is space available and sufficient enrollment of students
paying regular tuition to offer the class. Lab fees will be charged at full price where
required.

They may take classes for college credit at one-fourth the regular rate, provided
there is space available and sufficient enrollment of students paying regular tuition
to offer the class. Lab fees will be charged at full price where required.

They may enroll in seminars, workshops, other courses offered outside the
regular academic structure, and private lessons at full price.

Collegedale Academy Students Tuition Fee Waiver

Collegedale Academy students who have finished their junior year may take
up to six credit hours at SAU at a rate of 1/3 of the current tuition rate per hour.
Students eligible for tuition subsidy will receive the subsidy of 35% or 70% of the
tuition paid. Private music lessons are at the regular SAU tuition rate.

METHODS OF PAYMENT

The following methods of payment are available. Families who do not enroll
in one of these payment plans must pay the amount due indicated on the student's
monthly statement each month by the due date.

If a check is returned by a bank for insufficient funds, account closed, or any
other reason, a $20 returned check fee will be assessed to the student's account.
This forfeits the privilege of paying by check.

Payment Plans I and III— Cash in Advance

When the total estimated charges for tuition (minimum six hours), general fee,
room, and board for a semester are paid in cash at or before registration, a
discount of three percent for the semester or five percent for the year is allowed
on this cash payment. Amounts paid as a result of student loans, grants, or
scholarships are excluded from the amount on which the discount is allowed.
Students choosing to pay cash in advance must on or before registration time, pay
the full amount required by the plan for the semester or year, less any advance
payments or credits.

Payment Plan //— Guaranteed Tuition Plan

The University will guarantee to the student that tuition will remain constant
under the following provisions:

1 . This plan is not available to students receiving financial aid. However, parents
taking a Parent Plus Loan may include this amount in their payment.
The tuition rate in effect at the time of the first contract (including beginning
second semester) will remain in effect until the student graduates. The student
must maintain full-time continuous registration, not to exceed four years,
excluding a one-year leave of absence which may be given for Student
Missionaries, ACT, or Task Force Workers. This plan is not applicable to summer
school.

.Total estimated cost for the year must be paid prior to or at fall registration.
Any cash withdrawals, except student earnings, will void the contract.
Participants in this plan are eligible for a five percent cash discount on the total
estimated cost the first year of participation only (calculated as in Payment Plan
I). The next three years, the tuition rate will remain the same as year one, and
a five percent discount will be given on general fee, room, board, and books
only.

Dependents of denominational workers may deduct the denominational tuition
assistance when making their payment; however, the tuition assistance must be
received by the University from either the denominational employer or the
denominational worker within two months after registration or the contract is
void.

Student earnings may be withdrawn from the student's account and will not
reduce the amount to be paid.

Costs in excess of the total estimated amount to be paid will be billed monthly
and should be paid on a monthly basis or the contract is void.
Should the estimated cost be less than the amount paid, the credit will be
refunded after June 1.

10. If the payment contract is broken for any of the above reasons, or the student
withdraws during the school year, the student may re-enter Payment Plan II
based on the tuition rate of enrollment-for the new year.

280 Finances

This plan only guarantees the tuition rate— not the room, board, books, and
other miscellaneous charges. The student/financial sponsor must pre-pay each year
the total estimated costs no later than the last day of registration.

Payment Plan IV— Monthly Payments

A monthly payment plan is available for the 2000-2001 academic year through
the Student Accounts Services Office. All students on the monthly payment option
must pay an advance payment of at least $2,500.

Credit Card Payments

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 available from these cards— this service may be obtained from a local
bank.

When using a credit card to pay on an account, the following information must
be supplied: 1) name of credit card being used; 2) cardholder's name; 3) credit
card number; 4) expiration date; 5) student's name and ID number; and, 6)
amount to be charged on card.

Automatic Credit Card Payments

Payment through automatic credit card deductions may be arranged. This
arrangement is made through the Student Accounts Services Office. A signed
written request for automatic credit card deductions, stating the amount to be
deducted, the date each month the deduction should be made, and the amount
to be deducted each month will be required.

Personal Check Payments

Payments made to a student's account by personal check should have the
student's University personal identification number (ID number) written on the
check. If the ID number is not written on the check when it is received by SAU,
it will be written on the check by an SAU employee for posting purposes.

BILLING PROCEDURES

Monthly Statements

Statements will show all monthly/semester charges and credits and will be
mailed to students on or before the 1 3 th of each month. The minimum payment
is due the 28 th of each month. If the minimum payment due is received on or
before the 23 rd , a one percent discount may be subtracted from the payment.
Students who do not pay by the 28 th will be assessed a $25 late fee. Students who
do not pay within three weeks after the 28 th will have their ID cards deactivated.
Students' registrations will be canceled and they will be charged a $100 fee if
payment is not received within four weeks after the 28 th . Those wishing to re-
enroll must then pay the entire semester's estimated expenses.

Before semester examinations may be taken, or before registering for a new
semester, the student account balance must be paid in full.

Tuition Assistance

Please notify Student Finance if either parent is eligible for tuition assistance
from an employer. Indicate whether the employer is an educational institution or

Finances 281

some other organization. Upon receiving this information, Student Finance will
bill the parent's employer for the appropriate amount. It is still the responsibility
of the parents to ensure that the tuition assistance is paid by their employer.

Transcript Requests for Currently Enrolled Students

It is- the policy of the University to withhold transcripts if a student has an
unpaid or past-due account at the school, or any unpaid account for which the
University has co-signed.

An official grade transcript will be issued for a currently enrolled student when
the student's account is current according to the payment plan the student is on.
Exceptions may be considered to receive an official grade transcript when the
account is current except for a pending disbursement of a Federal student loan. A
student's failure to comply with instructions can delay the release of a transcript.

When payment is made by personal check, the transcript will be held for ten
working days to allow the check to clear. TO EXPEDITE THE RELEASE OF THESE
DOCUMENTS, THE STUDENT SHOULD SEND A MONEY ORDER OR
CASHIER'S CHECK TO COVER THE BALANCE OF THE ACCOUNT WHEN
REQUESTING THE DOCUMENTS. Under provisions of federal loan programs,
Southern Adventist University withholds any records when payments for these
loans become past due or are in default.

Financial Aid Overawards

When financial aid recipients receive additional resources not included in the
financial aid award letter, it is the student's responsibility to report these funds to
the Student Finance Office. Federal regulations prohibit "overawards"; therefore,
when the total of all resources exceeds the allowable student budget, financial aid
awards must be adjusted. When financial aid funds have already been credited to
the student's statement, any refunds due to the federal aid programs or the amount
of the overaward will be charged to the student's account.

COLLECTION POLICIES AND PROCEDURES

Accounts Collection Policy

Students completing or terminating their studies with the University are
required to pay their balance in full prior to leaving. Payments due on non-current
accounts that are not received by the last working day of the month will be
charged a one percent service charge.

When a student who was enrolled first semester does not enroll second
semester and has left with an unpaid account, that account will be designated a
non-current student account and will be reported to Experian, a credit bureau, as
of February 15.

When a student leaves at the end of second semester who does not return for
the summer session, the account will be designated a non-current student account
as of June 15 and reported to Experian.

When a student leaves at the end of second semester with an unpaid account
and plans to return the following year, the student will have until June 28 to bring
the account current. If the student decides not to return, then this account will be
designated a non-current account as of September 1 5 and reported to Experian.

At the time any account is designated non-current, a carrying charge of one
percent per month will apply.

282 Finances

When a non-current account is 90 days past due and neither satisfactory
payments nor communication have been received, and unsuccessful attempts have
been made by the SAU Student Accounts Services Office to contact the individual,
the account will be submitted to a collection agency or attorney.

If the University deems it necessary to employ a collection agency or an
attorney to collect defaulted accounts, all charges for these services, including
court costs, if incurred, will be added to unpaid bills.

Policy on Transcript, Diploma, and Test Score Requests for Non<urrent Students
It is the policy of the University to withhold transcripts, diplomas, test scores,
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 an Exit Interview.

Official grade transcripts for non-enrolled students will be issued only after
students' accounts are paid in full and when there are no delinquencies in the
payment of student loans. No exceptions will be made.

When payment is made by personal check, the transcript will be held for ten
working days to allow the check to clear. TO EXPEDITE THE RELEASE OF THESE
DOCUMENTS; THE STUDENT SHOULD SEND A MONEY ORDER OR
CASHIER'S CHECK TO COVER THE BALANCE OF THE ACCOUNT WHEN
REQUESTING THE DOCUMENTS. Under provisions of federal loan programs,
Southern Adventist University withholds any records when payments for these
loans become past due or are in default.

Policy on Legal Proceedings

Southern Adventist University shall not render services to former students who
may be involved in any legal proceedings, until court confirmation has been
received with regards to the legal actions taken.

Bankruptcy Policies and Procedures

Recognizing that the discharge of a debt through bankruptcy proceedings
prohibits a creditor from subsequently pursuing the collection of the debt, the
University, upon notification by the court of such filing, complies with this legal
prohibition. No further services will be extended. The bankruptcy of the financial
sponsor in no way changes the underlying financial obligation of the student to
pay his or her student account.

STUDENT LABOR

Student Labor Regulations

Work opportunities are available in departments/schools and industries
operated by the University and at local private businesses. Students seeking
employment should contact the Human Resources/Student Employment Office for
a listing of available positions or to complete an employment application.

Although Southern Adventist University cannot guarantee a student
employment, the University will endeavor to find a work opportunity either at the
University or at a local business. Students are urged to arrange class schedules that
allow 'blocks* of time for work.

All hiring formalities are completed in the Human Resources/Student
Employment Office. Students must bring their Social Security cards and one
identification document, such as a passport, driver's license, or original birth

Finances 283

certificate, in order to complete the hiring process legally. Students who are not
American citizens must produce an unexpired employment authorization
document such as a valid 1-20 or other legal document before employment can be
arranged.

Students are expected to maintain satisfactory job performance and meet all
work appointments, including those during examination week. Work
superintendents reserve the right to dismiss students if their service and work
records are unsatisfactory. Should a student find it necessary to be absent from
work, s/he must make arrangements with the work supervisor and, if ill, with
Student Health Service.

A student accepting employment is expected to retain it for the entire semester
except in cases where changes are recommended by the school nurse or the
Human Resources/Student Employment Office. Should a student receive
opportunities for more favorable employment at another department on campus
during the semester, the transfer must be made through the Human
Resources/Student Employment Office and the two employing departments. A
student must NOT drop his/her work schedule without notifying the Human
Resources/Student Employment Office.

Students can work part-time while they are in school. They can work full-time
during the summer and other vacation periods. The basic pay rate is no less than
the current minimum wage. The rate varies depending on the skill and experience
needed for the job.

Students who work more than 20 hours per individual week or who are
enrolled for less than 12 credit hours will have Social Security taxes (FICA)
withheld from their earnings.

Students may work off campus; however, permission may be withheld for off-
campus employment that could be detrimental to a student's health or character
development.

International Student Labor Regulations

International students on non-immigrant visas are required by law to secure
permission before accepting any off-campus employment. Foreign students with
student visas are allowed to work on campus up to 20 hours a week. Spouses may
work only if they have student visas of their own or have immigrant visas.

Student Payroll Policies and Procedures

Students will receive 25% of their earnings for tithe and personal items.

Students who receive Federal Work-Study earnings will receive 100% of their
earnings unless they give written permission for their earnings to be applied to
their student account or they voluntarily return their earnings to be applied to their
student account. Further information is available from a financial counselor.

The payroll period normally covers a two-week time period and students are
paid every other Friday. Students must wait until they receive their earning
statements before they are allowed to withdraw any additional cash from earnings.

It is recommended that on-campus summer earnings remain on the students'
accounts to accumulate toward their advance payment.

Student Workers' Compensation Insurance

As provided by the laws of the State of Tennessee, the University carries
workers' compensation insurance to protect all employees in case of work-related
accidents.

Summer Work Incentive Program

The following incentive program applies only to residence hall students working

on campus.

1. Work supervisors may recommend raises for a student's summer wage
within the pre-set wage rate scale.

2. Two-thirds of the residence hall student's summer rent will be refunded
after registration for the fall term, provided:

A. A minimum of 300 hours of summer work is completed.

B. The student is enrolled for at least six credit hours for the fall term.

PLEASE TAKE NOTE

We guarantee all Southern scholarships offered to you before
June 1 . Applications for admission and financial aid that
arrive after June 1 will be awarded scholarships on a first-
come, first-served basis until SAU scholarship funds are
depleted. So plan ahead and submit your applications as
early as possible!

All scholarships are divided and distributed equally over the
fall and winter semesters. Our scholarships are not available
for summer sessions.

For students who apply for and qualify for federal
financial aid, determination of the total amount of
scholarships given by SAU is guided by federal guidelines.
SAU is not allowed to "overaward* a student who has
applied for federal aid. In rare cases, students who
qualify for multiple scholarships may only be eligible to
receive a portion of their awards, based on the federal
formulas for awarding.

Scholarships provided by Southern Adventist University,
or the combination of tuition assistance from SDA institu-
tions and scholarships provided by Southern Adventist
University, shall not exceed the actual charges of tuition (for
up to 16 hours), general fees, residential rent (up to the
standard residence hall rent or its equivalent in other
campus housing), books and supplies charged at the Campus
Shop up to a maximum of $450 per semester. Tuition
assistance, and federal, state, and private scholarships
shall be applied toward a student's account first, before
SAU scholarships are applied. The total scholarship cost to
Southern shall not exceed the charge for tuition and fees.
Miscellaneous personal expenses are not included in the
costs covered by SAU scholarships or the combination of
tuition assistance and SAU scholarships.

Scholarships and awards listed here are available only for
full-time students taking 12 to 16 hours.

Grants

Southern Adventist University need-based institutional grants are awarded from
institutional and endowment funds to students who have financial need and are
achieving academically. The amount of these awards is variable per year
depending upon the student's need and availability of funds.

The amount of a student's SAL) need-based institutional grant award, as well
as his/her federal grant award, will be determined after all the necessary federal
and institutional applications are completed and processed. If the student's
academic progress falls below the required level, the SAU grant may be deferred
or canceled. Any requests for exceptions should be addressed to the Academic
Progress Committee.

SAU Endowment Grants— Southern Adventist University is blessed with a
growing endowment fund crea ed by donors interested in helping students achieve
their educational goals. Eligibility for these free grant monies is determined by
filling out the federal financial aid application (FAFSA). This application uses a
common nationwide formula to determine a family's ability to pay for college.
Southern uses this formula as a guideline in disbursing the Southern Endowment
Fund. For a financial aid application, call 1 .800.SOUTHERN. You can also file
for financial aid on-line at www.fafsa.ed.gov. These funds are awarded to students
who have established financial need through the federal aid application process.
Awards are made on a funds available basis. Notification to eligible recipients will
be listed on the Financial Aid Award Letter.

Eligibility and requirements for disbursement of Endowment funds are listed on
the Financial Aid Award Letter.

Federal Pell Grants— Federal Pell Grants are awarded through a federal program
which provides grant assistance directly to eligible first bachelor's degree
undergraduate students. A student's eligibility for a Pell Grant is based on a
congressional ly approved formula which considers family financial circumstances.
Pell Grants are available to full- and part-time students with proven financial needs
who are making satisfactory progress towards a bachelor's degree.

Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity grant-Awarded to students

with exceptional need when funds are available from the federal government.

Loans

Federal Nursing Student Loans are available to nursing students only, with
demonstrated financial need. Repayment and five percent interest assessment
begin nine months after a student graduates, leaves school, drops below half-time
enrollment, or drops from the nursing program.

Federal Perkins Loan — If eligible and funds are available, students can borrow
up to $4,000 from the federal government through Southern Adventist University.
Repayment and five percent interest begin nine months after a student graduates,
leaves school, or drops below half-time enrollment.

290 Finances

F ederal plus Loans are available to parents of dependent undergraduate
students who have satisfactory credit histories. The student must be enrolled at
least half-time. These loans, like Federal Stafford Loans, are made by a lender such
as a bank, credit union, or savings and loan association. The yearly loan limit is
a student's cost of education minus any estimated financial aid s/he is eligible for.

For PLUS loans disbursed since July 1, 1997, the interest rate is variable, but
not higher than nine percent. Variable interest rates are set each June. For more
information on the interest rate, parents should contact the organization that holds
their loan.

Students' parents pay an "origination fee" of three percent of the loan principal.
This amount is deducted proportionately from each disbursement made. The
lender may collect an insurance premium of up to one percent of the loan
principal, which is deducted proportionately from each disbursement.

The procedure for applying is the same as for a Federal Stafford Loan. Southern
Adventist University can refuse to certify a loan application, or can certify a loan
for an amount less than a student's parents would be eligible for. The parents will
be notified in writing, with a full explanation if such a circumstance should arise.

Federal law requires lenders to send the loan proceeds to the school in at least
two payments. Payments will be sent either by electronic transfer or by check
made co-payable to the school and to the parents.

Monthly principal and interest payments begin 60 days after the final loan
disbursement. There is no "grace period* for these loans.

If a deferment— a postponement of repayment— applies (including a deferment
for school enrollment), the parents' repayment of the principal amount borrowed
will not begin until the deferment ends. The interest on the loan is not deferred
during the time of the deferment, although the organization that holds the loan
may allow the interest to accumulate until the deferment ends. In such a case,
however, the interest will be added to the principal, increasing the amount of
principal that will need to be repaid.

Federal Stafford Loans are low-interest loans made to students attending school
at least half-time. Loans are made by a lender such as a bank, credit union, or
savings and loan association. These loans are insured by the guarantee agency in
each state and reinsured by the federal government. A borrower must repay this
loan.

Students enrolled at least half-time may qualify for a "subsidized" Federal
Stafford Loan, which is based on financial need. Dependent students whose
parents were denied a PLUS loan and independent students who enroll at least
half-time may also apply for an "unsubsidized" Federal Stafford Loan regardless
of need; that is, regardless of their or their family's financial status.

Dependent undergraduate students may borrow up to:

• $2,625 if they are first-year students enrolled in a program of study that
is a full academic year.

• $3,500 if they have completed the first year of study and the remainder
of their program is a full academic year.

• $5,500 a year if they have completed two years of study and the
remainder of the program is at least one academic year.

The total Stafford Loan debt that a dependent undergraduate student may
accumulate is $23,000.

Finances 291

Independent undergraduate students may borrow up to:

• $6,625 if they are first-year students enrolled in a program of study that is
a fulf academic year. (At least $4,000 of this amount must be in
unsubsidized Stafford Loans.)

• $7,500 if they have completed the first year of study and the remainder of
the program is a full academic year. (At least $4,000 of this amount must
be in unsubsidized Stafford Loans.)

• $10,500 a year if they have completed two years of study and the
remainder of their program is at least one academic year. (At least $5,000
of this amount must be in unsubsidized Stafford Loans.)

The total Stafford Loan debt that an independent undergraduate student may
accumulate is $46,000.

The amounts given are the maximum amounts that can be borrowed; however,
students cannot borrow more than the cost of education at Southern Adventist
University minus any other financial aid they receive.

Associate Degree Students may only borrow up to the second year level.

Undergraduate Students Attending Less than a Full Academic Year may

borrow an amount which will be less than the amounts listed above. Information
about how much may be borrowed can be obtained from the Student Finance
Office.

Graduate Students may borrow up to $18,500 in Stafford loans annually for
each academic year, with subsidized Stafford Loans comprising no more than
$8,500 of the total amount. The student may not borrow more than $65,500 for
the total graduate program.

The amounts given are the maximum amounts that can be borrowed; however,
students cannot borrow more than the cost of education at Southern Adventist
University minus any other financial aid they receive. Refer to SAU Graduate
Catalog.

Work

Federal Work-studv Program — Federal Work-Study funds are available to
undergraduate students with demonstrated financial need. Under the Federal
Work-Study program, the employer pays a small part of the student's wages, and
the government pays the remainder. Most work-study positions are on campus.
Students are responsible to acquire their own jobs and sign a Federal Work-Study
contract.

Students can work part-time while they are in school. They can work full-time
during the summer and other vacation periods. The basic pay rate is no less than
the current minimum wage. The rate varies depending on the skill and experience
needed for the job.

Students who receive Federal Work-Study earnings will receive 100% of their
earnings unless they give written permission for their earnings to be applied to
their student account. Further information is available from a financial counselor.

Other Grants, Loans, and Scholarships

Certain other grants, loans, and scholarships are available to students meeting
the above requirements or having exceptional academic achievements. Details
concerning amounts and qualifications for recipients of these funds can be
obtained from the Student Finance Office.

Veterans' Benefits

Southern Adventist University is approved for the training of veterans as an
accredited training institution. VA benefits may not be available for students
enrolled in classes offered off the Collegedale campus. Those who qualify for
educational benefits should contact the nearest Department of Veterans' Affairs.

Veterans or other eligible persons are required to attend classes in order to be
eligible for educational benefits. Southern Adventist University is required to
report promptly to the VA the last day of attendance when an eligible student
withdraws or stops attending classes regularly.

A recipient may not receive benefits for any course that does not fulfill
requirements for his/her stated degree and major. Audited courses, non-credit
courses (except for a required remedial course), and correspondence work cannot
be certified.

FINANCIAL AID REQUIREMENTS

General Requirements

Financial aid awards are made for one academic year to students who are
accepted for admission, demonstrate a financial need, and are enrolled for at least
six credit hours on the Collegedale campus. Recipients of government aid must
hold U.S. citizenship or a permanent resident visa. (Visa documents must be
submitted with aid application.) Students desiring aid must reapply each year,
have a GED or high school diploma on file in the Records Office, and continue to
make satisfactory academic progress toward a degree to receive financial aid.

WARNING: If a student purposely gives false or misleading information on
the federal aid application, s/he may be fined $10,000, sent to prison, or both.

Academic Progress Requirements

Academic Progress Policy

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. This requirement applies to the
entire enrollment at Southern Adventist University— even 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.

This policy defines the minimum standards for eligibility for state and/or federal
financial aid.

Quantitative Standards:

Students must complete and pass a minimum of 67.00 percent of attempted
credit hours toward a degree to be making satisfactory progress. Incompletes,
withdrawals, and failed courses count toward the total attempted credit hours. A
repeated course counts as attempted credit hours each time it is taken.

96 attempted hours
1 90 attempted hours
1 98 attempted hours
103 attempted hours
23 1 attempted hours
1 32 attempted hours

The above maximum time frame to receive financial aid is based on 1 .5 times
the number of credit hours to attain a degree. Hours from the first degree will be
counted as attempted hours toward a second degree. Taking a second major does
not count as a second degree.

Time frame for transfer students will be evaluated according to the hours
accepted from previous institutions and the attempted hours toward SAU's current
degree program.

Progress Review

A financial aid recipient's progress at Southern Adventist University will be
reviewed at the end of each semester and will be based on the number of
attempted hours a student completes during each semester of an academic year
and the cumulative grade point average (GPA).

Students who do not meet the above satisfactory GPA or completion
requirements will be placed on probation. If the cumulative GPA or the
completion rate is below the required level at the end of the probationary period,
the student will be ineligible to receive financial aid and may file an appeal with
the academic dean.

Students may enroll for the summer sessions or subsequent terms at SAU
without financial aid assistance or attend another accredited institution to fulfill the
progress requirements. Academic progress for these students will be reviewed
prior to the release of financial aid for the following term in which the student
reaches necessary academic standard.

Students accepted to Southern Adventist University on academic probation
may be eligible for financial aid for the first semester in attendance. Financial aid
thereafter is based on the above guidelines.

Procedure for Appeal and Reinstatement of Financial Aid
Students who are found to be ineligible for financial aid based on progress will
be notified in writing from the Student Finance Office. If unusual circumstances
occur that include, but are not limited to, personal or family illness, injury, or
death in the family, students may appeal in writing to the Academic Progress
Committee for continuation of financial aid. Students will receive a written
notification as to the committee's decision.

294 Finances

Financial Need Requirements

Financial Need Analysis

The financial aid program is administered in conjunction with the nationally
established policy and philosophy that the parents are the primary and responsible
source for helping a student to meet his/her education costs. Financial aid is
available to help fill the gap between the student's own resources (parental
contribution, summer earnings, and savings) and the total cost of attending
Southern Adventist University. The amount of parental contribution is based on
the family's adjusted gross income, number of dependents, number in college,
allowable expenses, indebtedness, and assets.

Financial Aid Qve^wgrd?

When financial aid recipients receive additional resources not included in the
financial aid award letter, it is the student's responsibility to report these funds to
the Student Finance Office. Federal regulations prohibit *overawards;* therefore,
when the total of all resources exceeds the allowable student budget, financial aid
awards must be adjusted. When financial aid funds have already been credited to
the student's statement, any refunds due or overawards will be charged to the
student's account.

Eligibility for Institutional Funds

Eligibility for Southern Adventist University funds is based upon a minimum
of six credit hours (except where otherwise noted) being taken on the Southern
Adventist University's Collegedale campus. Co-op, transient, directed study,
distance learning, Adventist Colleges Abroad, and off-site campus classes are not
eligible for SAU funds, and do not count toward the six credit hours.

FINANCIAL AID APPLICATION PROCEDURES

Financial Aid Applications

The following documents must be submitted annually to apply for the federal
(including federal loans), state, and institutional aid programs:

1 . The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), or Federal Aid Renewal
Application (FARA) for returning students. This application should be mailed
directly to the Federal Aid Programs in the envelope provided by the
government or completed on the Internet at www.fafsa.ed.gov.

2. A financial aid transcript from the school attended first semester. (A financial
aid transcript is required only of students who attended other colleges or
universities first semester and transferred to SAU second semester.) A financial
aid transcript is required even if no aid was received.

3. A Stafford Loan application with a preferred lender indicated. A list of
preferred lenders is supplied with the loan application. The student's section
only should be completed and mailed to SAU Student Finance Office.

The following documents must be submitted only if you have been selected by the
government for verification. The Student Finance Office will notify you if these
documents are needed.

1. The Federal Verification Worksheet, This worksheet should be completed,
then mailed to SAU Student Finance Office.

2. Copies of parents' signed income tax return (exact signed copies of all
schedules and W-2 forms sent to the IRS). These copies should be mailed to
SAU with the Federal Verification Worksheet.

3. Copies of student's signed income tax return including W-2 forms. These
copies should be mailed to SAU with the Federal Verification Worksheet.

Finances 295

Application packets are available at the end of January each year and may be
obtained by contacting the Southern Adventist University Student Finance Office.
Students are urged to complete applications as early as possible after the family
income tax returns have been completed. Income tax returns only have to be
completed, not necessarily mailed to the IRS, before submitting the financial aid
application.

Transfer Student Financial Aid Applications

Financial aid for students transferring from other institutions will be determined
by their academic standing, which will be calculated on all hours SAU has
accepted. Students with a GPA below the policy stated above will be on financial
aid probation for one semester. If the cumulative GPA or the completion rates are
below the required levels at the end of the probationary period, students will be
ineligible to receive financial aid. Deletion of transfer hours from Southern
Adventist University academic records may affect a student's financial aid
eligibility, depending on the number of hours deleted. Any change in academic
program, such as changing from a baccalaureate degree program to an associate
degree program, or from an associate degree program to a one-year certificate
degree program, may affect a student's eligibility for financial aid.

Transient Student Financial Aid Applications

Financial aid for transient students is available when a student receives a
transient student permission letter from the Records and Advisement Office.

Eligibility for Federal Pell Grant and Federal Family Education Loans (Stafford,
Unsubsidized Stafford, Parent PLUS) will be based on total hours enrolled at both
institutions. Costs at both institutions will be a factor in determining eligibility.

FINANCIAL AID AWARD AND DISBURSEMENT PROCEDURES

Financial Aid Award Procedures

A Financial Aid Award Letter will be sent to each applicant after Southern
Adventist University's Student Finance Office receives the FAFSA results
(electronically received from the federal processor). To confirm and reserve the
funds offered, students should return the signed acceptance of the offer within ten
days of receipt.

Financial aid awards are made on a rolling basis, as long as funds are available,
with the most needy students receiving priority. The financial aid award package
will usually consist of: 1) Federal Work-Study, 2) federal student loans, 3) federal,
state, private, or institutional grants or scholarships.

Disbursement of Financial Aid Funds

Financial aid awards are disbursed based on enrollment status each semester.
The disbursement will show as a credit on a student's account. Loan funds
received from the federal loan programs will in most cases be automatically
credited to the student's account. In the cases where the funds are received in the
form of physical checks, the checks will be available for signing in the
Disbursement Office. In addition, an entrance interview is required for first-time
borrowers prior to receiving their loan funds. An exit interview is required when
a student graduates or terminates his/her studies at SAU. It is the student's
responsibility to notify the Student Finance Office if they do not plan to return. A
student's diploma and/or academic transcripts will not be released until an exit
interview is completed.

296 Finances

Financial Aid Overaward Procedures

When financial aid recipients receive additional resources not included in the
financial aid award letter, it is the student's responsibility to report these funds to
the Student Finance Office. Federal regulations prohibit "overawards;* therefore,
when the total of all resources exceeds the allowable student budget, financial aid
awards must be adjusted. When financial aid funds have already been credited to
the student's statement, any refunds due or overawards will be charged to the
student's account.

RETURN OF TITLE IV FUNDS

Amount of Title IV Aid Earned

To calculate the amount of Title IV aid earned, the percentage of Title IV aid
earned (as figured by the withdrawal date) is multiplied by the aid that has been
disbursed as well as the aid that could have been disbursed.

Amount of Title IV Aid to Return

To calculate the amount of Title IV aid to return, the amount of Title IV aid
earned (as figured above) is subtracted out of the aid that was disbursed as well as
the aid that could have been disbursed.

For further explanation, please contact a financial aid counselor or the
disbursement officer.

Financial Aid Refund Policy

The SAU refund policy for students withdrawing from classes is outlined on
page 274. A $100 administrative fee will be charged to students who withdraw
completely.

Since financial aid is considered to be used first for direct educational costs
(tuition, fees, room, board, and books), when a student withdraws from all classes
and under the refund policy receives a refund of these charges, any credit will be
used to reimburse financial aid programs first, and any remaining credit will be
refunded to the student.

According to regulations, refunds due to Federal Title IV programs will be
allocated according to the following priority:

1. Unsubsidized Federal Stafford loans

2. Subsidized Federal Stafford loans

3. Federal Perkins loans

4. Parent Federal (PLUS) loans

5. Federal Pell Grant program

6. Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant program

7. Other Title IV aid programs

Financial Aid Repayment Policy

There are specific repayment policies for students who withdraw completely
from SAU and have received financial aid in excess of their incurred educational
costs. An example would be the student who received a Stafford Loan and did not
use the full amount for educational costs. An amount owing to any federally
funded student aid program will be covered by SAU and then charged to the
student's account.

Finances 297

Deferment of Financial Aid Repayment for Student Missionaries/Task Force
Workers

Any student desiring to serve as a Student Missionary or in a Task Force
position needs to apply through the Chaplain's Office. General Conference policy
requires the completion of the course Student Missions Orientation Class, NOND
099, prior to placement in a volunteer position. The orientation class is taught the
last nine weeks of the second semester. Students who register for NOND 099 will
not receive any academic credit hours.

Those students who have not yet received their first bachelor's degree who
desire deferment on their student loan payments during their mission service
placement must enroll in NOND 227 Christian Service I, 6 hours, and NOND 228
Christian Service II, 6 hours*

To receive 12 hours of academic credit, the student must complete a full
academic year of service. Students enrolled in NOND 227 and 228 must have
taken NOND 099 as a prerequisite. A maximum of 12 hours is available during
the year of service. Tuition is charged at ten percent of the current rate. Specific
details regarding academic assignments may be obtained from the Chaplain's
Office.

Before final authorization may be obtained, all students going as Student
Missionaries or Task Force Workers must be cleared by the Student Accounts
Services. The section "Family Rebate" on page 276 has relevant information for a
Student Missionary/Task Force Worker who has a sibling attending Southern
Adventist University.
