In publishing this catalog, every reasonable effort has been made to be factually accurate. The
publisher assumes no responsibility for editorial, clerical, or printing errors. The information presented is,
at the time of printing, an accurate description of course offerings, policies, and requirements of
Southern Adventist University. The provisions of this catalog, however, are not to be regarded as an
irrevocable contract between the University and the student. The University reserves the right to change
any provision or requirement at anytime, without prior notice.
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 operated by
the Southern Union Conference of Seventh-day Adventists.
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.
Vision
In response to this mission, Southern Adventist University envisions itself
as a leader in academic and professional excellence, responsive to the
needs of its constituencies as it provides affordable education and a
balanced lifestyle for students from diverse backgrounds. The institution will
be recognized for its integration of faith and learning, scholarship and
service, and leadership and servanthood.
Core Values
A Christ-centered Seventh-day Adventist campus
Academic and professional excellence
Hospitality and service
Affordable education
Balanced lifestyle
Institutional Goals
• Graduates who master the basic skills of critical reasoning,
independent thinking, computation, communication, collaboration, and
creativity needed to enter the workplace with confidence, to pursue
lifelong learning, and to exercise leadership as contributing citizens
who advance their families, communities, the church, and society.
• Competent and diverse faculty and staff who model balanced ethical
lives, integrate faith and learning, and celebrate and energize the
student spirit as they respect and support the different ways students
develop their minds, their persons, and their citizenship.
• Campus learning communities that engage students with ideas that
mark educated persons, global and multicultural perspectives, and
advanced technology to develop both ethical principles and
intellectual flexibility.
• Active partnerships with alumni, church, community, business and
industry, civic organizations, and government in order to analyze,
project, and respond to changing needs to help ensure that graduates
are prepared for a life of service.
• Responsible stewardship of resources entrusted to the university
through effective fiscal management to fulfill the mission, vision, and
goals of the university.
Educational Philosophy
Rooted in its theological understanding of God and humanity, the
educational philosophy of the Seventh-day Adventist church is summarized
as follows:
• God, the creator and Sustainer of the universe, is the Source of all
knowledge.
• Created in the image of God for the purpose of communion with Him,
humanity has sinned and has separated from Him.
• Through infinite love, God sent His Son to restore this relationship with
us — a personal relationship that begins now and continues throughout
eternity.
Within the context of this theological understanding, education is viewed as
an essential element of redemption, and must focus on developing the whole
person. Through harmonious development of the physical, mental, spiritual, and
social dimensions, the individual becomes better equipped to bring wholeness to
a broken world. Within this philosophical framework, the Student Development
Goals are as follows:
• Spiritual: To create a safe, nurturing community of faith in which students
may grow in a vibrant relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ, while
integrating into their lives Christian beliefs and values as understood by
the Seventh-day Adventist church.
• Intellectual: To facilitate in students the mastery of cognitive skills of
critical reasoning, independent thinking, reflective judgment,
communication, and creativity as students confront the issues, ideas, and
values of historical and contemporary civilization.
• Occupational: To assist students in attaining knowledge-based
competencies essential for productive citizenship, leadership, and service
in an increasingly complex global society.
• Social: To provide opportunities for students to develop socio-emotional
maturity that will enable them to be effective, contributing members of
families, groups, and communities in a pluralistic society.
• Physical: To empower students to take responsibility for their own
well-being through a health-promoting lifestyle.
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 1944 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
8 This Is So u t h e r n Ad v e n t is t U

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. Transfer courses that are
comparable to Southern Adventist University courses may be recorded with
an earned grade of "D" or better in general education and a "C" earned grade
for a major.
A student who has been dismissed from another institution because of

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.
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 deadline for international student applications to be received by the
Admissions Office is June 30 for the fall registration, and October 30 for the
winter registration.
Students from countries which administer the G.C.E. (General Certificate

LDMISSIONS
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 133) 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 12 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.)
All students desiring an I-20 must first submit a legible copy of their
passport, showing legal name.
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

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.
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.
APPLICATION PROCEDURE FOR ADMISSION
♦ Prospective students should request application forms from the Office of
16 Admissions
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
TRANSCRIPT WILL BE ACCEPTED DIRECTLY FROM AN APPLICANT.
♦ Students transferring from another college or university must show
evidence of ACT (American College Test) or SAT I (Scholastic
Aptitude Test) prior to registration at Southern Adventist University
unless the transfer GPA is 3.00 or above.
♦ Upon receipt and evaluation of the application, transcripts of credits,
recommendations, 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 recommendations, 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.
All students who have received academic acceptance will be mailed a
Commitment Deposit Card. To guarantee admission as a student, this card
must be completed and returned to the Admission Office with a $200 deposit.
Deadlines are July 15 for the fall semester and November 15 for the winter

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.

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

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 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.

is provided for students, generally in connection with the weekly convocation
program. The cost of admission for students is included in the tuition.
CONVOCATION
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.

assist in program planning and give advice and guidance on academic
questions throughout the school year. Students may also seek counseling
regarding academic concerns from any member of the faculty.

DISABILITIES - REHABILITATION ACT (1973) Section 504: Services for
Students with Special Needs
Students with disabilities should contact the Center of Learning Success
(CLS) located on the second floor of the McKee Library (ph. 423-238-2574 or
423-238-2838). Southern Adventist University is in compliance with Section
504 of the Rehabilitation Act (1973) and is dedicated to the elimination of
architectural and prejudicial barriers which prevent any qualified person from
attending. SAU has established the CLS to assist in obtaining reasonable
accommodations. However, the University does not assume responsibility
20
JTUDENTLIFE AND SERVICES
for accommodations to students who have not voluntarily, and confidentially,
identified themselves as having qualifying disabilities or to those who have
not provided the CLS with appropriate documentation of their disabilities.
For students who have dissatisfaction with the University's
recommendations, SAU has a formal grievance process which it will conduct
in a fair and unbiased manner. The grievance process is initiated by
contacting the Director of Counseling and Testing at 423-238-2783 in the
Student Center. Detailed copies of this process are available at the CLS
and the Counseling and Testing Center.
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
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. To maximize healthcare for all students it is the normal
procedure for the nurse to see students at Health Service. In a clear
emergency the nurse on duty will go onsite.
Health Service is available to all students and student dependents ages 12
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, and hospitals.
University policy requires all students to have adequate accident and
health insurance covering both inpatient and outpatient services. The same
coverage is encouraged for all spouses and dependents. This requirement
can be met at registration or before, by (a) enrolling in the student injury and
sickness insurance plan, or (b) signing a waiver form indicating adequate
coverage by another policy or health care plan. All students living in a
residence hall or other student housing must purchase the insurance unless
waiving the coverage. Those taking less than six hours may choose to
purchase the plan if desired. A student taking six hours or more who has
not signed a waiver form will be automatically enrolled in the plan. A policy
brochure describing benefits, terms, and limits is available from the Risk
Management department.
ORIENTATION PROGRAM
jtudentLife and Services 21
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 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.
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. Four residence halls that serve the needs of our students are: Talge
Hall, Thatcher Hall, Thatcher South, and Southern Village.
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.
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
22 Student Life and Services
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/her 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 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.
student Life and Services 23

(multimedia year in review), Joker (pictorial directory), Numerique (student
phone directory), Southern Accent (student newspaper), Southern Memories

GENERAL EDUCATION
General education is an important part of the student's experience at
Southern Adventist University. The general education structure is designed
to provide the student opportunity to develop those values and competencies
that mark an educated person and prepare him or her for leadership in
today's complex society. While recognizing the validity of many different
general education programs, the faculty of SAU 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 selected courses to comply with General Education
requirements. A comprehensive general education test is required of all
baccalaureate seniors.
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
students in 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

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. 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
36
VCADEMICrOLICIES
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 16-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 275.

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:
Academic Policies 41
Anesthesia Optometry
Dentistry Osteopathic Medicine
Law Pharmacy
Medicine Veterinary Medicine
Detailed requirements for non-degree pre-professional 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
pre-professional requirements for programs designated in the Allied Health
section. Because pre-professional and technical admission requirements
may vary from one 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
and Advisement 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 and Advisement Office. Course changes and complete
withdrawals from the school become effective on the date the voucher is filed
at the Records and Advisement 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.
When a student drops a class during the first week of the semester, the
class is deleted off the student's record. A grade of "W" is issued when a
student drops the class on the second week of the semester. 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 "F."
Auditing Courses. With the approval of the department/school, students
42 Academic Policies
may register on an audit basis in courses 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
cost is one-half of the regular tuition charge. Audit tuition charge is in
addition to a flat rate 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 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
12 hours 26 hours
10 hours 32 hours
8 hours 38 hours
ACADEMIC ADVISEMENT
ICADEMICrOLICIES
43
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.
GRADING SYSTEM
Southern Adventist University does not have an institutional grading policy.
Instructors 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
AUAudit; 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
NR Not Reported; the teacher did not issue a grade; is not calculated in the
GPA
The Pass/Fail option is available only in Physical Education activity
classes (PEAC). Students enrolling in these classes must make a
decision either to receive a grade of Pass/Fail or a conventional grade
44 Academic Policies
before the final grades are submitted. The decision will be final.
Nursing Practicum, NRSG 191, is also a Pass/Fail class.
A student may receive an "I" (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
$20 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." 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:
A4.00 grade points per hour C2.00 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
B3.00 grade points per hour D1 .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 F0.00 grade points per hour
WF 0.00 grade points per hour
The grade point average is calculated by dividing the total number of
grade points earned by the credit hours attempted.
OUTCOMES ASSESSMENT
In an ongoing attempt to improve its educational quality, the University
administers a comprehensive assessment program. This involves periodic
measurement of student academic achievement, student satisfaction, and
personal, professional, and career development. Although participation in
these assessment activities is expected of all students, not every student will
be selected for every assessment; but during the course of enrollment,
students are likely to be involved in at least one assessment activity.
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
Academic Policies 45
(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 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
46
VCADEMICrOLICIES
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 18.
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.
5. Students on Academic Probation may enroll in a maximum of 12
hours.
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 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 Grade Point
Average
Academic Policies 47
0-23 1.50 or above
24-54 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 283,
"Academic Progress Requirements."
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.
ACADEMIC 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 Academic 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 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
48
VCADEMICrOLICIES
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 be taken 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 prayer, convocations are held on Monday through Friday as well.
Occasionally, convocation will be held in the evening or may begin at 10:30
a.m. on Thursday. All students are required to attend 14 convocations each
semester. Failure to meet this convocation requirement may result in
suspension of registration. Exceptions to the convocation attendance
requirement are made by the Office of Student Services only for legitimate
direct work conflicts with scheduled convocations. Any excuses for absences
from convocation must be approved by the Vice President for Student
Services.
A special series of orientation convocations is scheduled during the fourth
summer session.
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
Academic Policies 49
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 score of 50 or higher, 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 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
50
VCADEMICrOLICIES
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.
Practicum and Internships. Suggested departmental/school guidelines
for practicum and internships.
Practicum :
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.
Internships :
a. A minimum of 1 00 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
Academic Policies 51
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.
Southern Adventist University will bill each academy for its extension classes
at the rate of $50 per credit hour. For example: The cost for ENGL 101, three
credit hours, would be $150 ($50 x 3).
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 presenter(s) 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 written
request made by fax or letter to the Office of Records and Advisement. This
request must include a hand-written signature as electronic generated
52 Academic Policies
signatures are unacceptable. Requests made by telephone, E-mail, or third
party cannot be honored. Official transcripts given directly to a student will
be enclosed in a sealed envelope with the registrar's signature across the
back. Transcripts will be issued for those students whose accounts are paid
in full and who are current in re-payment of student loans.
Transcripts are free unless special services are required. Same-day
service and/or individual requests requiring an excess of more than five
transcripts will be charged $8. A secure method of payment may be used
such as cash, credit card, cashiers check, or money order. (A personal
check will not be accepted.) If the student requires that the transcript be
sent by overnight service, an additional $15 charge will be incurred.
Requests for overnight service may be made up to 3:30 p.m. upon
confirmation of payment.
A student may receive an unofficial transcript for evaluative purposes by
applying in person or by fax with the Records and Advisement Office. For
further clarification regarding transcripts, diplomas, and test scores see page
296.
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.

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:
— 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 Clinical Laboratory
Science (Medical Technology) and A.S. degrees in a number of Allied Health fields (listed
on pages 54-55).
MISSION STATEMENT
The Allied Health branch of the Biology /Allied Health Department exists 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, as well as to promote
these professions as meaningful career options providing opportunities for Christian
service.
ASSESSMENT
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 where the student
will transfer. The entrance rate of students into professional programs is also used to
assess adequacy of class offerings and program requirements.
BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN CLINICAL LABORATORY SCIENCE
(Medical Technology)
Adviser: Brenda Janzen
The Bachelor of Science degree with a major in clinical laboratory science (medical
technology) consists of three years of prescribed study at Southern Adventist University
and a 12- to 13-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 Clinical Laboratory Science 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
Health 57
lllied Health
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.
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.

PRI-DINTAL HYGIfNI
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-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

PRE-RESPflRATORY THERAPY
Adviser: Brenda Janzen
Respiratory therapists apply scientific knowledge and theory to practical clinical problems
of respiratory care. The respiratory therapist is qualified to assume primary responsibility
for all respiratory care modalities, including the supervision of respiratory therapy
technician functions. The respiratory therapist may be required to exercise considerable
independent clinical judgement, under the supervision of a physician, in the respiratory care
of patients. Respiratory therapy personnel are employed in hospitals, nursing care
facilities, clinics, physicians' offices, companies providing emergency oxygen services, and
municipal organizations.
Southern Adventist University offers a two-year associate degree that provides the
prerequisite courses for entrance into the final two years of the bachelors degree program at
Loma Linda University. The program can be modified to meet requirements of other schools.

PRE-SPEECH-LANGUAGE PATHOLOGY & AUDIOLOGY
Adviser: Brenda Janzen
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
lllied Health 67
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 modified to
meet the requirements of other schools. For a complete description of Southern's general
education requirements, refer to pages 27-32.

BIOLOGY
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.
MISSION STATEMENT
The Biology Department exists as an integral part of Southern Adventist University
with its mission to provide a quality Seventh-day Adventist Christian undergraduate
education, emphasizing the balanced development of the spiritual, intellectual, physical,
and social dimensions of men and women. Within the framework of a Christian
understanding of the origin and workings of biological systems, the department seeks to
provide opportunities for its academic and local communities to understand the value,
process and limitations of scientific inquiry as well as to develop an awareness and
understanding of the biological world and our responsibility to it. Its curricula are
designed to provide students with high quality preparation for careers in the biological
and biomedical professions.
THE BIOLOGY MAJOR
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, Kenya, Belize, Smoky
Mountains, and the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge. The Tennessee Aquarium in
nearby Chattanooga provides additional learning resources. The department is also
affiliated with Walla Walla College's Rosario Beach Biological Field Station (see page
23).
Extracurricular opportunities include membership in the Beta Beta Beta national
biological honor society, a yearly lecture series on natural history and research topics
(see page 21), as well as a premedical preceptorship program (see page 267).

ASSESSMENT
In order to help evaluate its teaching effectiveness and the academic achievements of
its graduates, all seniors are required to pass the ETS Major Field Achievement Test in
Biology during their final semester. The results of these exams are used by the
department staff to evaluate class offerings as well as program requirements.

Chemistry
Chair: Rhonda Scott-Ennis
Faculty: Brent Hamstra, Bruce Schilling
Chemistry is the study of substances in our world, such as the food we
eat, the clothes we wear, the plastic containers that are used in so many
ways, the drugs that are an integral part of medicine, to name a few. 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. There are also 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.
MISSION STATEMENT
Within a Christian environment of learning, the Chemistry Department
seeks 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.
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. Students majoring in chemistry are expected to achieve a
minimum score of 40 th percentile on these exams and achieve a grade of C
or above in the core chemistry courses. Students who score below the 40 th
percentile and passed the corresponding course will be given self-paced
instructional materials to strengthen areas of identified weakness.
All chemistry majors are required to take COMM 135 as part of their
general education program.

MISSION STATEMENT
The mission of Southern Adventist University's School of Computing is to
provide an exemplary Christian learning environment which enables
students to become Christian computing professionals, who, in addition to
being competent in their chosen profession, realize their responsibility to
God, church, family, employer, colleagues, and society.
MAJORS IN COMPUTING
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 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 2001 .
The B.A. degree in computer science allows students 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 administration. With a few years experience graduates will be
equipped to manage a data processing department in a hospital, business,
or industry. This program follows the curriculum developed by ACM, AIS,
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.
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.
3 . Completion of 6 hours of computer courses
required in the major with a grade of "C"
or better.
4. Earned overall GPA of 2.25 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 improve 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, a department of the School of
102
JCHOOL OF COMPUTING
Computing, allows students and faculty to work together in providing
commercial Web services. These services include web page design, site
design, web hosting, site effectiveness evaluation, site maintenance and the
construction of custom web software applications. Students from a variety
of majors utilize their skills in visual design, computer technology, and sales
at the Software Technology Center. Thus students are given the
opportunity to utilize principles and theories learned in the classroom in a
commercial environment as part of their student employment.
In addition, the Software Technology Center coordinates the internship
program of the School of Computing. This program encourages employers
to utilize the skills of our students in exciting and productive ways and
encourages students to take advantage of the opportunities these employers
provide. Currently the core of this effort is an innovative program called
Meet the Firms, which includes job fair events and Preparing to Meet the
Firms, a course that preps students for finding jobs. Most of the internships
are paid summer internships for which the student may also register to
receive academic credit.

PRAXIS II PASS RATE
The completers of the Teacher Education Program at Southern have
achieved a 98% pass rate in the Praxis II licensure exams for 2001-02,
compared to 92% state-wide.
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.
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 individuals 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 accredited by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher
Education (NCATE) and by the Accrediting Association of Seventh-day
Adventists Schools, Colleges and Universities, Inc.

ADMISSION PROCEDURES
Admission to Southern Adventist University does not automatically admit
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 advisement coordinator in the Records Office. The
School of Education and Psychology 115
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.
At the time of a student's Initial Admission to the Teacher
Education Program, the current and subsequent catalogs will
determine the requirements for completion of the program and
graduation. Deviations to this policy will be valid only if mandated
by the North American Division and/or the State of Tennessee
Department of Education.
NOTE: Courses with grades lower than "C in the major studies
or professional education must be repeated.
The student must apply for Initial Admission to the Teacher Education
Program (usually by the end of the sophomore year) after completing all
requirements as outlined below. Initial admission is required before the
student can enroll in upper division education courses. The following
criteria are required for each applicant.

116
JCHOOL OF EDUCATION AND PSYCHOLOGY
School of Education and Psychology Faculty and recommended 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.
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.
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.
NOTE: Prior to the professional semester, the student must
take and pass the PRAXIS II licensure exam — both the
appropriate section of the Principles of Learning and Teaching,
and the particular specialty test(s) for the licensure area(s).
The following criteria are required for each applicant:

Council
Teacher candidates who meet the above criteria are approved by the
School of Education and Psychology Faculty and recommended 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 major 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 Teacher Education Council. 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, middle, 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. Passing 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 Southern Union Conference, and to any other
appropriate union conference for denominational certification; and to the
State of Tennessee and to any other 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

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.
As stated earlier in the Admission Procedures section, the teacher
education student must obtain passing scores on the Praxis II exams before

Engineering Studies
Engineering Studies Committee:
Henry Kuhlman (Chair), Ken Caviness, John Durichek
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 27-32). 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. The nine upper division literature classes
are all W courses and hence require word processing skills.
MISSION STATEMENT
The mission of the Department of English is to provide general education
students with basic communication and literary analysis skills in a Christian
context, to offer support services for students needing help with their writing,
and to prepare English majors for graduate school and/or the job market.
ASSESSMENT
As part of a departmental assessment process, senior English majors take
a written exam (Literature in English Major Field Test) 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: Lisa Clark Diller, Mark Peach, Dennis Pettibone
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.

Minor — Political Economy (18 Hours)
Combines an interdisciplinary selection of courses helpful for law school
preparation. For a further description of this pre-law preparation program,
see page 267.
Minor — Political Science (18 Hours)
This minor provides opportunity for students to gain practical experience
in governmental work as part of an academic program. There are two types
of internships for the minor: a Washington D.C. internship supervised by
Columbia Union College; and a Tennessee State legislative internship in
Nashville. Either internship will give intensive exposure to state or federal
government or public 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.
The student must apply for Initial Admission to the Teacher Education
Program (usually by the end of the sophomore year) after completing all
requirements as outlined under ADMISSION PROCEDURES in the School
of Education and Psychology section of the catalog. Initial admission is
required before the student can enroll in upper division education courses.
The student must also complete an application and all other requirements
150 H
ISTORY
for Admission to Student Teaching. Prior to the professional semester, the
student must take and pass the PRAXIS II licensure exam — both the
appropriate section of the Principles of Learning and Teaching, and the
particular specialty test(s) for the licensure area(s).
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. 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.

Interdisciplinary
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-case 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.
For the students who design their major, their transcript will give the
degree and major: "Interdisciplinary" with the concentration as approved by
the Advisory Committee.
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.

government, the church, colleges, universities, hospitals, and other medical
institutions, and in a wide range of organizations.

Southern Adventist University's Nonprofit Administration and
Development degree is designed to meet the demand for entry-level
managers with fund development expertise.
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 bachelor's degree 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.
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.

JOB OUTLOOK
Because of the decline in government support of nonprofit, it is more
School of Journalism and Communication 159
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 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 $1 25 billion.
MEET THE FIRMS
Meet the Firms is a program sponsored by the Schools of Business and
Management, Computing, Journalism and Communication, and Visual Art
and Design to facilitate students in locating internships and jobs in their fields
of study. Meet the Firms seminars are held each fall and winter semester in
preparation for the Meet the Firms event. A variety of invited companies
meet with students to interview, network, and mentor in preparation for
placement.
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
160 School of Journalism and Communication
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 practicum, internships, or job positions.
Students in the School will be given a writing skills test when they take
JOUR 105. 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 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.

Mathematics
Chair: Arthur Richert
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 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: William Van Grit
Adjunct Faculty: Darwin Ayscue, Gwendolyn Smith
The Modern Languages Department at Southern Adventist University
combines language study with experience abroad and academic courses.
Southern offers interdisciplinary degrees in French, French Teaching,
International Studies, Spanish, and Spanish Teaching. The International
Studies degree 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 many cultures.
The Modern Languages Department also offers majors in French and
Spanish, minors in French, Spanish, and German and language courses in
Italian, for those students wishing to gain a deeper understanding of cultures
within a global context through the study of language, literature, and society.
The French and Spanish majors also provides the necessary background for
graduate study. In addition, the department offers French and Spanish
Teaching majors for students interested in secondary education. Students
seeking teacher certification should also pursue the teaching major.
The ability to communicate with people is increasingly essential in today's
global community, and knowledge of other cultures and cultural experiences
should be a key part of the background of a well-educated individual,
particularly of those with a sense of world mission. By introducing students
to another language and giving them opportunity and exposure to experience
other cultures, the Modern Languages Department at Southern Adventist
University strives in helping to overcome stereotypes and prejudices, foster a
spirit of appreciation and inclusiveness, and facilitates easier communication
and interaction with persons of other languages and cultures.
MISSION STATEMENT
The Modern Languages Department at Southern Adventist University
provides a Christian learning environment that enhances the understanding
of other cultures, and promotes a global dialogue by widening horizons,
broadening, perspectives, and deepening self-understanding as a worldwide
family.
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.
The assessment of students majoring in Spanish, and Spanish Teaching
consists of a departmental oral and written examination. Candidates will
demonstrate a passing degree of knowledge and appreciation of Spanish
Modern Languages 181
speaking cultures, their literary expression, and the ability to understand
many of the complexities affecting and resulting from the Spanish, and
Spanish-American experience in their own context and when in contact with
other cultures not only in the American continent, but in relation to global
communities. The assessment of students majoring in French and French
Teaching is also a departmental oral and written examination. Candidates
will demonstrate a passing degree of knowledge and appreciation of French
speaking cultures, their literary expression, and the ability to understand the
complexities in their own context not only in Europe and America, but as part
of global communities.
SPECIAL OPPORTUNITIES
The department sponsors language programs abroad for students who
desire to participate in an intensive language-learning experience. For
details, contact Adventist Colleges Abroad (ACA).
FOREIGN STUDY
Adventist Colleges Abroad. Southern Adventist University is a member of
the consortium of colleges and universities which, under the auspice of the
General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, supports the Adventist
Colleges Abroad program. ACA 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.
Students can also contact ACA at: http://nadadventist.org/aca/

Centre Universitaire et Pedagogique du Saleve, Collonges-sous-Saleve; in
Spain, Colegio Adventista de Sagunto, Sagunto; in Argentina, Universidad
Adventista del Plata, Libertador San Martin; and in Italy, Villa Aurora Istituto
Avventista.
MAJOR PROGRAMS
Degrees. B.A. French, International Studies, Spanish, French and
Spanish Teaching.*
Placement Level. Students who intend to enroll in a French or Spanish
language course, who have had any background in the language must take
the "Placement Examination."
Exceptions. Students who are native speakers or who have otherwise
acquired advanced language proficiency are encouraged to take the
"Challenge Examination" offered by the department. Otherwise, students
with no background in a language must begin at the 1 01 level.
Departmental Majors. The Modern Languages Department offers language
courses to satisfy the B.A. language requirement. A major in International
Studies with emphasis in Spanish, French, or German is offered. Also,
majors in French, Spanish, and French or Spanish Teaching* are also
offered.
Students planning majors or minors should contact the department early
in their studies for a list of required courses. Those students with questions
about their major or minor should refer to the catalog and/or contact Modern
Languages faculty. Those students with transferred language credit from
another college or university should meet with a faculty adviser early in their
studies regarding major or minor course equivalents.

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 three tracks: (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 189.
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 demonstrate keyboard
proficiency by passing a piano proficiency examination or successfully
completing Class Piano 1-4. Keyboard proficiency includes the ability to
play hymns, scales, triads, arpeggios, several moderately easy compositions
and accompaniments and harmonize simple folk melodies. Students will
take a piano placement test during the first week of the first semester in
residence.
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. Performance 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
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, Wind Symphony; voice majors, SAU
Chorale; 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. Concentration :
Music Performance Concentration (MUPF 189, 389) grades will
be based on the student having met the following criteria:
1 . Completed at least 1 4 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 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
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 negatively
affect 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.
b. Applied Music :
Applied Music (MUPF 129, 329) grades will be based on the
student having met the following criteria.
1 . Completed at least 1 4 lessons for the semester. (One-half hour
lesson=one semester hour credit; one hour lesson=two
semester hours credit.)
1 94 School of M
USIC
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 negatively
affect the final Applied Music 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.
c. Completion of the functional piano requirement.
d. Completion of MUCT 111-112,121-122.
e. Completion of at least four hours of credit in the student's applied music
concentration area.
Faculty evaluation of the application for junior standing will result in the
student's receiving one of the following classifications: (a) Pass, Bachelor of
Music; (b) Pass, 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
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.
BACHELOR OF MUSIC CURRICULUM
The Bachelor of Music degree in music education meets state and
denominational certification requirements. Students must apply for admission
to the Teacher Education Program through the School of Education and

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. Registered nurses with an associate degree from an accredited
program in nursing may progress into baccalaureate level nursing. 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 leads to an Associate
of Science (A.S.) degree in nursing which may be completed in four
semesters, plus summer courses. Upon completion of the A.S. degree
requirements, the student is eligible to take National Council Licensure
Examination (NCLEX-RN).
The curriculum in the Baccalaureate Program enhances professional
opportunities through study in theoretical and clinical nursing. The program
may be completed in two to four semesters.
A limited number of students are accepted into both programs in Fall and
Winter semesters of each year.
A well-equipped Learning Resource Center (LRC), clinical skills
laboratory, and a tutorial program, Assisting Students to Achieve
Professionally (ASAP) are provided to facilitate learning.
POLICIES
Students admitted to clinical courses will accept personal responsibility for
their learning and professional behavior. Each student contracts to abide by
policies as stated in the SON Handbook.
Students will be expected to provide their own transportation for all
clinical appointments.
A nursing education fee is assessed per class to help offset expenses
which are not covered by regular tuition, (see Nursing Education Deposits
and Fees under the Financial Policies section of the catalog.)
The Tennessee State Board of Nursing and other State Boards reserve
the right to deny licensure 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
the 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 and approved by
the Tennessee Board of Nursing.
ASSESSMENT
The SON has a comprehensive assessment program. AS and BS
students are required to complete standardized competency examinations
throughout the nursing curriculum. The associate degree graduate is eligible
to take the NCLEX-RN examination. The Tennessee State Board of
Nursing (TBN) requires an annual pass rate of 85% or higher on the
NCLEX-RN for a school to maintain TBN approval.
To aid the SON in evaluating teacher and curricular effectiveness,
associate and baccalaureate graduates complete end of program surveys.

Physics
Chair: Ken Caviness
Faculty: Chris Hansen, Henry Kuhlman
Professor of International Research in Physics: Ray Hefferlin
Adjunct Faculty: Cyril Roe
Many doors of service await students who study physics. Southern
Adventist University physics major graduates have become academy and
high school teachers, and professors and researchers in physics, in the
U.S.A. and overseas. Also, one or more of them has served as aerospace
researcher for the Apollo project, anesthetist, chemical researcher, computer
systems manager, computer net-work manager at large factory, corporation
pilot, dentist, family-practice medical doctor, full-time homemaker, geologist,
historian of science, instructor for fossil-fuel power-plant operators, instructor
for nuclear-reactor operators, lawyer, mathematician, nuclear-plant
walk-down engineer, oceanographer, oil-drilling engineer, planner for Space
Station Freedom, radiologist, reliability designer for long-distance telephone
systems, radio station engineer, and researcher in educational statistics.
The Physics Department offers B.S. and B.A. degrees in physics, B.S. in
biophysics, and A.S. in Engineering Studies (see page129).
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:
I.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.

Statement of Southern Adventist University, its own mission statement, and
>CHOOL OF KELIGION
Religion 237
the recommendation of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools.
Faculty Assessment
The effectiveness of the School of Religion's faculty and program is
directly or indirectly assessed by:
1. Student evaluations of all classes administered regularly through the
office of the Vice President for Academic Administration.
2. Majors in the final semester of their senior year.
3. Periodic meetings of the faculty with the Chair of the Board and the
presidents of conferences within the Southern Union.
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 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 and Archaeology 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 make formal application, normally, during their 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
238 School of R

Ministerial Externship
The School of Religion requires field
education of Theology majors. The Ministerial
Externship Program is designed to enhance
professional development by acquainting the
student with the multi-faceted responsibilities
of ministry. It provides a laboratory setting
in membership care, evangelism, church
leadership, worship, and preaching for working
with experienced mentoring pastors and lay
leaders in a local church. The education is
necessary before the student can be recommended
by the School of Religion for church employment.
Field School of Evangelism
Full-scale evangelistic meetings will be conducted for six weeks each
summer under the direction of the Southern Union Conference of
>CHOOL OF KELIGION
Religion 243
Seventh-day Adventists, or for three weeks in a mission settings overseas.
All Theology majors are required to participate in one such field school.
Academic credit will be offered for all field schools, and a scholarship will
be provided for participants in specific field schools. Students planning to
take the Summer Field School program must have 55 hours with a 2.50
cumulative GPA and RELP 321, 322, 462 and 463 to be recommended for
admittance. Applications and scholarship information may be obtained from
the field school coordinator.
ADMISSION TO RELIGIOUS EDUCATION PROGRAM
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
admission to the Religious Education program in the sophomore year and to
the professional semester before the senior year.
The student must apply for Initial Admission to the Teacher Education
Program (usually by the end of the sophomore year) after completing all
requirements as outlined under ADMISSION PROCEDURES in the School
of Education and Psychology section
of the catalog. Initial admission is required before the student can enroll in
upper division education courses.
The student must also complete an application and all other
requirements for Admission to Student Teaching. Prior to the professional
semester, the student must take and pass the PRAXIS II licensure
exam — both the appropriate section of the Principles of Learning and
Teaching, and the particular specialty test(s) for the licensure area(s).
The criteria for admission to Religious Education, requirements for
secondary Bible teaching, and policies and procedures related to student
teaching may be
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 12 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 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

MISSION STATEMENT AND OBJECTIVES
The Department of Social Work and Family Studies promotes a Christian
learning environment that is designed to facilitate and understand of human
behavior and a mastery of basic skills in working with people in local,
national, and international settings.
The curricula for both the BSW and Family Studies degrees are designed
to achieve the following objectives:
1 . To help the student gain an understanding of a Christian philosophy of
human behavior and to master intervention skills based on such a
philosophy.
2. To encourage critical thinking, perceptive discussion, intellectual
curiosity, and cultural awareness.
3. To develop positive interpersonal skills, communication techniques,
and decision-making approaches.
4. To reinforce a commitment to acceptance, caring, and service.
5. To provide the necessary knowledge base that will enable students to
experience successful employment and/or admission to graduate
programs.
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,
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 400 hour FIELD PRACTICUM 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.

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).
SOCIAL WORK PROGRAM 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 practicum experiences is not provided by

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.
Work and Family Studies 259

acceptance and continuation in the program is made by the program
Admissions and Progressions Committee.
During the second semester of the freshmen year the student is to
complete an
autobiography
and a written
essay on a
specific social
issue.
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

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 4 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 .
Work and Family Studies 261
FIELD PRACTICUM
The social work field practicum 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 practicum
a key component of the educational process.
The focus of the field practicum 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 practicum 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 practicum
and must have met the required prerequisites.
The field practicum 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 . Successfully complete both the oral and
written sections of the Senior Exit Exam.

3 . Present a report on a piece of original
research they have designed in the research
classes and completed during the field
practicum. This report will be part of the
Senior Seminar and Field Practicum
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
selected course work.
2 . Present a research paper or family life case
material to the departmental faculty.

School of
Visual Art and Design
Dean: Wayne Hazen
Faculty: Randall Craven, David George, Zachary Gray, Frank Mirande,
Maria Roybal-Hazen, Dean Scott, John Williams
Adjunct Faculty: Colin Brady, John Cline, Brian Dunne, Douglas Lively,
Jonathan Row
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.
One of the goals of the School of Visual Art and Design is to create an
environment where Christian young people can learn the art of film making.
The Bachelor of Science degree in Film Production is designed to meet this
need. Resources include DV, Betacam, and 16mm acquisition devices, as
well as extensive lighting, grip, and post production facilities.
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 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
faculty from selected art schools 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 practicum. 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.

Major — B.S. Art-Graphic Design Track (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.

Pr E P R F E S S 10 N A L PROGRAMS
Preprofessional and pretechnical curricula are offered in a wide variety of
fields. Below are listed the curricula most frequently chosen. If other
preprofessional programs are desired, faculty advisors are prepared to assist
the student in working out a satisfactory sequence of courses needed to
meet the admission requirements of the chosen professional school.
ANESTHESIA (CRNA)
Adviser: L. Phil Hunt
Registered nurses who are experienced and comfortable working in critical
care areas may become registered nurse anesthetists. Graduation from an
approved program of nursing and a valid nursing license is required.
Additional requirements may be determined by consulting the School of

Pre-dental training in college/university requires a minimum of three years
of study; however, a preference is given to those who have completed a
fourth year, earning a bachelor's degree. Students may major in the field of
their interest. Although a thorough background in the biological and physical
sciences is essential to the study of dentistry, a broad educational
background in the humanities is desirable. Upper division biology courses
are recommended to prepare for the Dental Admissions Test and for the first
year of basic science courses in dental school.
Application to dental school should be made one year previous to the one
for which admission is desired. Successful applicants should have a
minimum GPA of 3.00 in both science and non-science courses as well as
satisfactory performance on the Dental Admissions Test. Information
regarding the Dental Admission Testing Program may be obtained from the

LAW
Adviser: Ben McArthur
Students interested in the study of law as a profession should become
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.

MEDICINE
Non-Degree Pr eprofessional Programs 293
Advisers: Joyce Azevedo, Ann Foster, Stephen A. Nyirady, Joel Ongaro,
Rhonda Scott-Ennis, Keith Snyder
Secondary school students who look forward to a career in medicine are
advised to include mathematics and science courses during their high school
years.
Most applicants complete a Bachelor's Degree prior to entrance into
medical school. Exceptional students may be eligible to apply after
completion of a minimum of 85 semester hours. Applicants for admission to
the Loma Linda University School of Medicine should maintain a grade point
average of at least 3.50 in both science and non-science courses. The
following courses without an asterisk must be included in the applicant's
academic program. Medical schools generally do not accept CLEP credits for
these basic science courses. Classes with (*) asterisks in biology, chemistry,
and mathematics are recommended.

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, directly from AMCAS, or filled out electronically on the web.
Applications are available between May 1 and November 1 for entry into
medical school the following year.

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 .
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.
Following is a list of preoptometry courses required by most schools:
BIOL 151-152, 330, 416, 418 18 hours

of 3.00 should be maintained in both science and non-science subjects.
PHARMACY
Adviser: Bruce Schilling
A bachelor's degree program in pharmacy normally requires five years of
schooling while a doctorate in pharmacy (PharmD) is usually a six year
program. The first two years of either of these programs may be taken at
Southern Adventist University. Not all colleges of pharmacy offer both
degrees, many now offer only the PharmD degree.
Admission requirements to colleges of pharmacy vary from school to
school so the student should consult the catalog or web page of the school of
his/her choice for specific course requirements. The American Association
of Colleges of Pharmacy maintains links to all schools of pharmacy at its web
page, www.aacp.org. All schools place a strong emphasis on chemistry,
biology, physics, and mathematics.

All scholarships are divided and distributed equally over t
fall and winter semesters. Scholarships are not availabl
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 based on federal guideline:
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
up to 16 hours), general fees, residential rent (up to the
standard residence hall rent or its equivalent in other
campus housing), and books/supplies charged at the Carfipus
Shop up to a maximum of $450 per semester. Tuition
assistance, and federal, state, and private scholarships
shall be annlied toward a student's account first before
( : or
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
Finances 303
tuition assistance and SAU scholarships.
University merit-based scholarships are available only for
full-time students taking 12 to 16 hours at SAU.
Southern reserves the right to change or amend any
of the scholarship policies at any time.
SmartStart Free Tuition Savings
To take advantage of free tuition for one class, entering freshmen are
welcome to apply for the special summer SmartStart session July 29 to
August 23. To find out more, call Admissions at 1 -800-SOUTHERN.
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 SAU 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 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 created 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 congressionally 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
304 Finances
government.
Eligibility for Institutional Funds
Eligibility for Southern Adventist University need-based 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.
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 $2,850 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.
Federal 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 , 1 997, 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 up to 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
Finances 305
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 a
guarantee agency 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 at least 24 credit hours, and the
remainder of their program is a full academic year.
$5,500 a year if they have completed at least 55 credit hours 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.
Independent undergraduate students may borrow up to:
$6,625 if they are first-year students enrolled in a program of study
that is a full academic year. (At least $4,000 of this amount must be in
unsubsidized Stafford Loans.)
$7,500 if they have completed at least 24 credit hours and the
remainder of the program is a full academic year. (At least $4,000 of
this amount must be in unsubsidized Stafford Loans.)
$1 0,500 a year if they have completed at least 55 credit hours 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 will be considered as having less than 55
credit hours for loan purposes.
Undergraduate Students Attending Less than a Full Academic Year
may borrow an amount which may be less than the amounts listed above.
Information about how much may be borrowed can be obtained from the
Student Finance Office.
Work
Federal Work-Study 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
306 Finances
student's wages, and the government pays the remainder. Most work-study
positions are on campus. Students are responsible to acquire their own
jobs.
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
Student Finance counselor.
Other Scholarships, Grants, and Loans
Certain scholarships, grants, and loans are available to students. 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.
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 rebate on tuition
and general fee. This also applies to married student couples. A ten percent
rebate may 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.
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. Please see the Admissions Office for application form.
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.
Finances 307
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 (such as auditing a class).
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 receive a rebate of
$2,890/semester to cover 90% of the tuition for these classes ($2,700) and
the general fee ($190).
Students enrolled in GEOG 306, Cultural Geography, and COMM
291/391, Intercultural Communication Practicum, will be given tuition rebate
of $333/semester hour.
Before final authorization may be obtained, all students going as Student
Missionaries or Task Force Workers must be cleared by the Student Finance
Office.
Senior Citizen Tuition Plan
Persons 65 years of age or over may audit any regular college course
free of charge, or take for credit, at reduced cost, 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-half the regular rate (a
rebate will cover the remaining portion), provided there is space available

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 Vfe 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
308 Finances
rate.
FINANCIAL AID APPLICATION PROCEDURES
Financial Aid Applications
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), or Federal Aid
Renewal Application (FARA) for returning students must be submitted annually to
apply for the federal, state, and institutional aid programs. 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.
To receive a loan, a student must complete and return to the SAU Student
Finance Office a Stafford Loan Master Promissory Note. This Note needs to be
submitted only one time during a student's attendance at SAU. A list of
preferred lenders is supplied with the promissory note.
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 the 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.
4. A copy of FAFSA worksheets A, B, and C. This copy should be mailed to
SAU with the Federal Verification Worksheet.
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 Eligibility and Change in Academic Program
Eligibility
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 policy 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
Finances 309
determining eligibility.
FINANCIAL AID AWARD AND DISBURSEMENT PROCEDURES
Financial Aid Award Procedures
A Financial Aid Award Letter will be sent to each accepted 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. It will be assumed that students are
accepting the full award amounts if the award letter is not returned within the
allotted time.
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 may be a combination 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 a check, the check 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.
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.
FINANCIAL AID ELIGIBILITY 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.
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.
310
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.
Academic Progress Standards
Qualitative Standards:
Cumulative Credit Hours Attempted Cumulative Grade Point
Average
0-23 1.50 or above
24-54 1.75 or above
55 or above
2.00 or above
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.
Time Frame for Receiving Financial Aid
Max. Time to Receive Financial
Aid
186 attempted hours
96 attempted hours
190 attempted hours
198 attempted hours
103 attempted hours
231 attempted hours
132 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 will 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.
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 the disbursement officer.
Financial Aid Refund Policy
The SAU refund policy for students withdrawing from classes is outlined
on pages 292-293. A $100 administrative drop fee will be charged to
students who withdraw completely during the 100% refund period.
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
312 Finances
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.

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 Finance
Office.
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 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 Office.
Students must bring their Social Security cards and one identification
document, such as a passport, driver's license, or original birth 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 I-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
Finances 313
absent from work, s/he must make arrangements with the work supervisor
and, if ill, with Student Health Services.
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 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 Office and the two employing departments. A student must
NOT drop his/her work schedule without notifying the Human Resources
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 net earnings for tithe and personal
items.
Students who receive Federal Work-Study earnings will receive 100% of
their net 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.
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.
314 Finances
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.
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 scholarships,
grants, loans, 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 Finance 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 who have sufficient financial aid to cover their tuition and books,
live out of the residence halls, and have a no-charge ID card may receive
more than 25% of their earnings. Those whose parents have paid the
semester or year in advance and have written permission from their parents
may also receive more than 25% of their earnings.
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.
Parents wishing to provide a student with cash for personal expenses
should use a means other than depositing funds to the student's account.
(See Student Banking below.)
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.
Student Check Cashing
Students are encouraged to use their home banks or a local area bank for
their personal financial services. SAU does not cash personal checks.
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 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
Finances 315
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 against possible losses.

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 while eating at the cafeteria, Campus Kitchen,
or KR's Place. Residence hall students are required to pay the minimum
cafeteria charge of $160 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 30 days past due the
privilege of charging food will be withdrawn.
Books and School Supplies Charges
Books and school supplies may be charged at the Campus Shop. A
Finances 317
student may charge up to a maximum allowable amount for books. A
separate maximum applies to school supplies and miscellaneous items.
Students may not charge items from the Adventist Book Center or other
book stores to their student accounts.
Nursing Education Deposit and Fees
Upon acceptance to the clinical nursing program, students are required to
send a deposit of $380 to hold their placement in the class. Requests for
refund must be made through the School of Nursing no later than August 1.
All A.S. nursing classes will have a $150 Nursing Education fee assessed
per class, and B.S. nursing classes will have a $54 Nursing Education fee
assessed per class.
Music Lesson Fees
Private music instruction is available to all students through the School of
Music. Students enrolled in lessons will be charged $150 per semester hour
(14 half-hour lessons) in addition to tuition (regular or audit rate).
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 1 4 lessons for the semester.
International Student Deposit
In addition to the regular University costs, international students must
provide an International Student Deposit of $3,000 U.S. This applies to all
international students except documented permanent residents of the U.S. or
residents of Canada 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 once a year at the rate of two percent) 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.
Health and Accident Insurance
University policy requires all students to have adequate accident and
health insurance covering both inpatient and outpatient services. The same
coverage is encouraged for all spouses and dependents. All students who
are taking six or more hours (three or more hours during any summer
session) or who are living in University housing will automatically be enrolled
in the University health and accident plan at the time of registration, and will
continue to be enrolled each successive fall semester until a waiver form is
signed. Students who have signed a waiver form may later request
enrollment at any time. The student may sign a waiver form indicating s/he
does not want the University insurance because:
11. The student has
adequate US insurance coverage equal to or
better than the University insurance plan.
318 Finances
12 . The student is covered
under the SDA denominational health care
plan.
13 . The student does not
live in University-owned housing and is
taking less than six semester hours of class
work during the fall and winter semesters
or less than three hours of class work in
the summer.
Once a waiver is signed, it will remain in
effect until coverage is revoked and coverage
is requested in writing to the SAU Risk
Management Department. The student will not
be automatically enrolled for insurance, and
the University will not be responsible for any
medical claims or expenses once a waiver is
signed.
A refund of the premium is allowed only upon
entry into the military services.
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
$2,160 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 $3,240. Residence hall students
living in the Southern Village apartments are
charged $2,360 for the school year. If
sufficient rooms are available, s/he requires

been made to room alone. No pets, firearms,
or weapons are allowed in the residence hall.

of the room, will be refunded.
Residence Hall Deposit and Deposit Refund
A room deposit of $150 is required of each
resident. To guarantee a room in the residence
hall, payment of this deposit must be made by

moves out of the residence hall. The deposit
is in addition to any other payment, and is
refundable if requested before July 15.
University Apartment Costs
University-owned apartments may be rented by
students taking a minimum of six hours each
semester (preference is given to married
students) . The apartments range in size from
two to six rooms and are rented furnished or
unfurnished. Rents range from $284 to $600 and
will be charged by semester in August and
January. Rent will be charged monthly during
the summer. 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 must pay a housing deposit of $300
to reserve an apartment. This housing deposit
is due before occupancy and is sent directly
320 Finances
to Southern Advent ist University. The deposit
is in addition to any other payment.

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 .
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.

SAU REFUND POLICIES
Refund for Complete or Partial Withdrawal
Residence hall and University apartment refunds are prorated according
to the number of days the student occupies the room subtracted from the
number of days charged.
A student who withdraws from school completely during the semester will
receive a tuition and general fee refund based on the date the completed
withdrawal form with all required signatures is filed with the Records and
Advisement Office.

Refund of Credit Balances
Credit balances are refundable, upon request from financial sponsor, 30
days after the monthly statement is received for the last month the student
was in school in order to be certain that all charges have been processed.
For example, if a student drops out of school in December, a full credit
refund would not be made until after the January statement is prepared
during the first week of February. When the credit balance is large, a portion
322 Finances
may be refunded earlier upon request to the Student Finance Office.
If the student has a credit balance caused by a financial aid over-award,
the necessary credit will be applied to the aid funds, according to the
Financial Aid Refund Policy described on page 283. If any credit remains, it
will be refunded as described above.
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.
Discount Policy
Year in Advance/Guaranteed Tuition Plan — SAU offers a five percent

or credits. Amounts paid as a result of scholarships, grants, and/or student
loans are excluded from the amount on which the discount is allowed.
Payment Plan II — Guaranteed Tuition Plan
The University will guarantee to the student that tuition will remain
constant under the following provisions:
I.This plan is not available to students receiving financial aid. However,
parents taking a Parent Plus Loan may include this amount in their

2. 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, ACA, or Task Force Workers.
This plan is not applicable to summer school.
3. Total estimated cost for the year must be paid prior to or at fall

4. Any cash withdrawals will void the contract.
5. Participants in this plan are eligible for a discount according to the

6. 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.
7. Student earnings may be withdrawn from the student's account and will
not reduce the amount to be paid.

monthly and should be paid on a monthly basis or the contract is void.
9. 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.
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 2002-2003 academic year
through the Student Finance Office. All students on the monthly payment
option must pay an advance payment of $2,500.
Credit Card Payments
The Cashier's Office honors VISA, MasterCard, Discover, American
Express and debit (if card owner is present) cards for making payments on a
student's account. There are different discount rates when making payments
by credit card. (See Discount Policy p. 293) No cash withdrawal service

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;

to be deducted each month, and the billing address of the credit card 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
324 Finances
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 13 th of each month. The minimum
payment is due the 28 th of each month. In some cases, the statement may
take an extended about of mail time to reach the parent or financial sponsor.
It is the responsibility of the student to communicate the minimum due to the
parents/financial sponsor in these cases. 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 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, and a
$100 reinstatement of registration fee.
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
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. If a student receives an award letter that does not include
tuition assistance, but that student is eligible for tuition assistance, the award
letter must be adjusted. Please notify the Student Finance Office if this is
the case.
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, CASHIER'S CHECK, OR PAY BY CREDIT CARD 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.
COLLECTION POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
Accounts Collection Policy
Students completing or terminating their studies with the University are
Finances 325
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
15 and reported to Experian.
At the time any account is designated non-current, a carrying charge of
one percent per month will apply.
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 Finance 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-current
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 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, CASHIER'S CHECK OR PAY BY CREDIT CARD 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, will comply 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.
