Freshmen Admission Requirements
Please refer to the General Catalog
for the current freshmen admissions requirements. Applicants
are reviewed based on test scores, high school class rank, grade
point average computed on the admissions competency courses (not
cumulative grade point average), and courses completed with high
school or college.
Transfer Admission Requirements
Please refer to the General Catalog
for the current transfer admissions requirements. Applicants
are reviewed based on the number of transfer hours, transfer grade
point average and beginning in fall 1998, ability to satisfy the
admission competency course requirements.
All transfer students must have a complete
official transcript sent directly from each previously attended
institution to ASU Undergraduate Admissions.
301.2 Non-Degree Seeking Students
Any high school graduate is invited to enroll
for six or fewer semester hours per semester of undergraduate
course work as a non-degree student. Students currently enrolled
in high school and person under the age of 18 may be admitted
as non-degree students by submitting official ACT or SAT scores
that meet the general aptitude requirements of the university.
Please refer to the General Catalog for more detailed
information.
301.3 Readmission to the University
Undergraduate students who have previously
attended ASU but have not been enrolled for one semester or more
are required to apply for readmission for the summer or semester
in which re-enrollment is intended. If, meanwhile, the student
has attended another accredited college or university, it is necessary
for the student to have on file an official transcript of all
academic work taken. Failure to report such attendance is considered
misrepresentation and falsification of university records. In
addition, it is considered cause for Records Hold action and withholding
of further registration privileges.
A transcript is required for all interim attendance
at another college or university. Applicants for readmission
who previously attended as non-degree students and left with less
than 2.0 GPA must apply to a degree program through Undergraduate
Admissions and may not attend again as a non-degree student, unless
they improve the GPA through summer attendance.
An applicant for readmission to a degree program
must meet the requirements for good standing listed in the General
Catalog and the requirements of the college to which the application
is being made. An applicant who has been denied readmission may
appeal to the University Undergraduate Admissions Board. If not,
the applicant must apply to ASU through Undergraduate Admissions.
Conditional Readmission
A student completing academic work in progress
at another institution may be granted conditional readmission.
This conditional status remains effective until an official transcript
is received. The student is subject to Records Hold action, and
additional registration privileges are withheld if this condition
for readmission is not cleared by mid-semester.
Multi-campus Students
(refer to the General Catalog)
302 Profiles of ASU Main Student
Population
ASU has a large enrollment of Undergraduate
(approximately 32,000) and Graduate (approximately 10,000) students.
Most students commute to campus. For a current profile of the
campus student population, please refer to the "ASU Highlighter"
(in current semester section 800), an annual publication of the
Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs, 965-7293.
302.1 Disability Resources for
Students
The mission of Disability Resources
for Students (DRS), in conjunction with the University's goals
is to ensure that qualified students with disabilities, upon request,
are provided with reasonable and effective accommodations. DRS
facilitates equal access to educational and co-curricular programs,
campus activities and career and employment opportunities for
qualified students with disabilities by offering a wide range
of academic support services that include, but are not limited
to the following: academic and career consultation, campus and
community program coordination and/or referrals, supplemental
audio taping in coordination with Recording for the Blind and
Dyslexic (RFB&D), an in-class note taking program, non-standard
academic testing accommodations, specialized equipment for specific
disabilities, the Hewlett-Packard Adaptive Technology Center,
American Sign Language or oral interpreters, TTY access including
campus pay phones, alternative print production (i.e. Braille,
enlarged print, raised line charts and graphs, computer based
text), Braille campus map, on campus transportation and the Access
Employment Program. Although students are responsible for their
own personal care attendants, DRS does provide an Attendant Management
Training Program for students with disabilities and maintains
a current listing of applicants (untrained) for personal care
attendants. Also, a U.S. Department of Education TRIO Student
Support Services Grant allows DRS to incorporate a unique academic
enhancement model into the disability support services program
for 270 selected students with disabilities who meet TRIO eligibility
requirements.
Some classroom accommodations, such
as Braille, audio tapes, interpreting services, enlarged print
and lab materials conversions require an extended preparation
time, i.e., one semester. To ensure the availability of accommodations
from the first day of class, students are required to pre-register
for classes and notify the appropriate DRS program coordinator
immediately upon submitting a COURSE REQUEST PRE-REGISTRATION
FORM. Although DRS will attempt to provide requested appropriate
accommodations for students who miss pre-registration, they cannot
be guaranteed, and effective alternatives may be necessary. NOTE:
Documentation is required and information regarding disabilities
is confidential. For more information, call 965-1234 (Voice),
965-9000 (TTY).
302.2 Multicultural Assistance
Program
The Multicultural Assistance Program
(MAP) located in Student Services Building A361, and housed within
Counseling and Consultation was created to provide students with
academic and personal support. (MAP brochure)
MAP is built upon a triangle of services:
academic, cultural, and emotional support. MAP counselors offer
guidance through workshops, courses, personal counseling and student
organizations as well as a series of summer programs designed
to help students in their adjustment to university life.
Students and advisors can obtain
more information or make appointments by calling 965-6060.
302.3 International Student Office
The International Student Office,
located in Student Services Building B-225 helps International
Students to comply with Immigration and Naturalization services
regulations in addition to meeting the standards of Arizona State
University.
Upon arrival on campus, students
must report to the international student advisor in Student Life.
Students and advisors can obtain more information or make appointments
by calling the following number 965-7788.
302.4 Student Athletes - Academic
Services
The Academic Services Office, located
in Intercollegiate Athletic Complex, 312, assists approximately
450-500 student-athletes in earning a college degree by providing
academic support services. These services include the education
services of academic advising, tutoring and study halls. The
staff also advises student-athletes with recruiting, admissions
to the University, registration, and career planning services.
(Refer to the Student-Athlete Handbook.)
All student-athletes at Arizona State
University are assigned to an academic counselor through
the Academic Services Office of the Intercollegiate Athletic Department.
Academic counselors assist students with selecting and registering
for classes, guiding them through the paperwork for their Plan
or Program of Study and monitoring academic progress. Student-athletes
have to meet NCAA satisfactory academic progress rules that are
different than the university academic good standing standards.
Students and advisors can obtain more information by calling
965-5721.
302.5 Re-entry Students
Please refer to the readmission section
301.3 and Student Resources section 604 (Adult Reentry Office)
for information on how to help a re-entry student at ASU Main.
302.6 University Honors College
Students
The University Honors College, established in 1988,
organizes the resources of the university for the educational
benefit of Arizona's and the nation's academically strongest students.
With an enrollment of 1600, the college provides students the
educational benefits typical of small, selective colleges while
allowing them to enjoy the physical and human resources of a large
research university. The Honors College works collaboratively
with the disciplinary colleges to develop curricular and cocurricular
opportunities for students throughout their undergraduate careers
but is not a degree-granting unit. Students completing the college's
lower or upperdivision curricular requirements do
have recognition noted on their transcript. The University Honors
College is one of four academic units (with Libraries, Graduate
College, and Extended Education) truly "geographically distributed":
the college has responsibility for honors education at the ASU
Main, West, and East campuses.
Admission Requirements
Candidates for admission to the University Honors College must
file an application. Eligible students are not automatically
enrolled. All must meet one of the following criteria.
An entering firstyear student is admissible if s/he:
A continuing or transfer student who has completed at least
12 semester hours of study with a cumulative GPA of at least 3.25
(on a 4.00=A scale) may apply for admission. Community college
transfer students in good standing in their institution's
honors program at the time of their admission to ASU are also
eligible.
A student not meeting these requirements but who believes
s/he can better succeed at the university and meet the college's
academic standards may apply for provisional admission. Such
candidates may need to interview with the Dean before a decision
is made on their application.
Application forms and additional information about the college
are available through the University Honors College's office:
McClintock Hall 112, Mail code 3102, Telephone: 9652359
Retention
To remain in good standing in the University Honors College, students
must maintain high standards of academic performance and show
progress toward completing graduation requirements in both their
disciplinary majors and the Honors College. Students normally
register for at least one honors course each semester. A student
whose cumulative ASU grade point average falls below 3.25 (on
a 4.00=A scale) is placed on Honors College probation and is withdrawn
if s/he does not make reasonable progress in raising the cumulative
grade point average during the following semester. A student whose
cumulative ASU grade point average is above the 3.25 minimum
but does not demonstrate progress toward meeting Honors College
requirements may also be withdrawn.
Curriculum
Students enrolled in the University Honors College are also members
of some disciplinary college degree program (or are nopreference
students searching for a major). Most honors coursework is delivered
in the traditional academic departments and programs thus generally
allowing students to satisfy both their degree and their Honors
College requirements at the same time. Participating in Honors
does not require students to complete either additional coursework
or extend the time to finish a degree.
Distinct curricular and transcript recognition requirements exist
for lower and upper division students, allowing for the differing
needs of students who initially enroll at ASU and students who
transfer to ASU. A student may graduate from the Honors College
having completed only the upper division requirements. However,
encourage eligible students to enroll in the Honors College and
begin taking honors courses as early as possible in their academic
career.
Typically, the first two years of the honors curriculum focus
on courses meeting university general studies and collegiate distribution
requirements. The second two years concentrate on the student's
academic major and culminate in an honors thesis, an extended
work of scholarship or creative activity. All courses taken for
honors credit count toward graduation, even if the student does
not graduate from the University Honors College.
Lowerdivision Honors Requirements
Must be completed within the first 60 earned semester hours
Cumulative ASU grade point average greater than or equal to
3.4
18 semester hours of honors coursework for an earned letter grade
of "C" or better
("Y" grade does not count as an earned letter grade.)
Must include: HON 171172 The Human Event
May include:
ENG 105 (any section)
CHM 117, 118 (any section)
MAT 290, 291 (any section)
Any course designated Footnote 19
Any course designated Footnote 18 for which students
fulfilled an individually negotiated honors contract
Upper Division Honors Requirements
HON 394 Selected Topics for students who entered the University
Honors College with more than 45 semester hours
Must include:
May include:
Except for HON 171172 The Human Event, students may not
use the same course to satisfy requirements for both lowerdivision
transcript recognition and upper division graduation requirements.
Footnote courses
Footnote 19 courses in the Schedule of Classes are limited to
University Honors College students and others who receive special
permission to enroll from the instructor. Enrollment in these
courses is typically limited to 22 students.
Footnote 18 courses in the Schedule of Classes allow University
Honors College students to contract with the instructor for honors
credit by pursuing enrichment activity that renders the coursework
qualitatively more challenging. There is no necessary increase
in the quantity of work required. Enrollment in these courses
is otherwise not restricted. Footnote 18 contract forms, available
from the instructor of designated classes or from the Honors College
office, must be filed during the first three weeks of class during
the semester in which the course is offered. Contracts may not
be undertaken for courses already completed.
Advising
University Honors College students must meet the requirements
of a disciplinary major. A significant number of students choose
to pursue more than one major or concurrent degree. Therefore,
coordinating information and sharing advising responsibility for
these students between and among academic units is central to
student success. The University Honors College has established
a network of both professional and faculty advisors in all disciplinary
colleges and in many individual departments. These advisors assume
special responsibility for 1) remaining apprised of honors requirements
and policies, 2) offering supplemental and sometimes primary academic,
personal, and career advisement to honors students and 3) sometimes
for identifying and encouraging students eligible for the Honors
College to apply and participate as an honors student.
302.7 Multi-campus Students
See the general catalog and Section
301 Admission and Advising. Students are able to attend classes
as a multi-campus student, but should follow the procedures at
the campus in which they are seeking a degree.
303 Orientation
303.1 Orientation Responsibility
Responsibility for planning and
coordination of New Student Orientation resides with Arizona State
University office of Undergraduate Admissions. College and UAAC
advisors are intimately involved in the execution of all orientation
programs.
"Orientation" can best
be thought of as a process which starts from the time of admission
application submission and continues through at least the first
year of attendance at Arizona State University. Orientation sessions
are planned for both freshman and transfer students with sessions
on campus, off campus, throughout the Spring and Summer months
and into Fall Semester. Resources: Packet of Information
distributed to Advisement and training workshops.
303.2 Orientation Programs Available
1996 (See below.)
Advisor Training Workshops.
The Office of Undergraduate Admissions
provides training workshops for advisors early in Spring Semester
of each year. These four-hour workshops provide an overview of
planned activities (see agenda attached). Packet of Information
for students is distributed.
New Student Advisement Workshops.
These workshops are planned during
the Spring months for both students and parents to sign-up to
attend a half-day program on campus. Students and parents attend
sessions to:
Learn about specific College and
Major
Receive academic advisement
Register for classes
Tour the campus and College of
choice
Use the class schedule and catalog
Review ASU General Studies Requirements
Parents and guests learn about meal
plans, campus safety, financial assistance and other services.
Out-of-State Orientations.
These orientations consist of a five
to six hour program available at three out-of-state locations.
East Coast/ Newark, NJ area
Midwest/ Chicago O'Hare area
West Coast/ Los Angeles airport
area.
Students, parents and guests receive
information about Arizona State University, registration for classes,
campus life and residence halls, meal plans. Advisors are available
to assist with registration and answer questions. Advisors for
various colleges, the UAAC, join with staff from Undergraduate
Admissions, student life, financial aid and registrar's office
to provide a comprehensive program for new students.
Summer Orientations
Summer orientation includes a two-day
freshman program and a one-day transfer program. Both are located
on campus. Both programs offer opportunities for students and
guests to meet with academic advisors, live in the residence halls
(for the freshman program), participate in activities to learn
about campus resources and register for classes. Parents and
guests, in separate and/or joint sessions also learn about campus
from this experience.
Fall Orientation
Historically, Fall Orientation has
started during the week prior to the beginning of classes. This
schedule is being evaluated, and may be shortened. However, activities
during this week include College Convocations, social events,
information seminars and opportunities to meet with advisors to
plan or adjust class schedules.

304 Placement in Courses
See section titled "Placement
Examinations" in the General Catalog and in the "University
Testing Requirements" and Placement Exams" sections
of the Schedule of Classes for each semester.
304.1 Placement Test Scores
English.
New students, as well as continuing, re-entry, transfer, and
non-degree students who have not taken any composition courses
are placed in First-Year Composition courses according to their
scores on the ACT English or SAT Verbal tests. Students who score
18 or below on the ACT English test or 460 or below on the SAT
Verbal test must enroll in WAC 101, a basic writing course. Students
who score between 19 and 28 on the ACT English test or between
470 and 650 on the SAT Verbal test are eligible to enroll in ENG
101. Students who score 29 or higher on the ACT English test or
660 or higher on the SAT Verbal test may take ENG 105 in place
of ENG 101 and 102. Students who are accepted in the University
Honors College are eligible to enroll in ENG 105 after being advised.
Students may also qualify for ENG 105 by achieving appropriate
scores on the CLEP General Examination in English Composition
with Essay or the CLEP Subject Examination in College Composition
with Essay.
Foreign Language.
For information regarding foreign language placement testing,
see sections in the General Catalog under Department of
Languages and Literature titled, "Foreign Language Requirement"
and "Foreign Language Placement."
Mathematics.
Placement examinations before registering in mathematics courses
are not required at ASU. Students planning to register in mathematics
courses should consult the Self-Advising flowchart, mailed to
all freshman applicants and available at university advising offices
and the Department of Mathematics offices in PSA 208 and 216.
The flowchart places emphasis on a student's prior preparation
and performance in mathematics. In most lower-division mathematics
courses, an intensive review by the students is followed by a
test during the first week of classes. Students not doing well
on these tests are encouraged to enroll immediately in a less
demanding mathematics course. Students needing additional evaluation
are encouraged to take the Algebra Placement Exam or the Calculus
Placement Exam, administered by appointment at University Testing
Services (UTS), EDB 302. Call UTS at 480/965-7146 for an appointment.
304.2 Admission Competency Deficiencies
See
"Retention and Academic Standards" section in the General
Catalog for a list of Basic Competencies. See "Admission
Competencies" section of the Schedule of Classes for courses
that can be used to meet admission competency deficiencies.
Meeting Basic Competencies.
New students are required to have completed a specific number
of courses in the areas of American history, English, laboratory
science, mathematics, and social science. Students who are exempt
from these requirements include transfer students with 36 or more
transferable semester hours, students admitted by GED, and students
who are 22 years of age or older by the first day of the semester.
An admitted student who needs to meet competencies in one
or more of these areas must satisfy the requirement within one
year of the beginning of the student's first semester at ASU.
Subject competencies in each area may be met by earning a
grade of "D" or better at ASU in an appropriate course(s)
as listed in the "Basic Competencies" table found in
the General Catalog or in the Schedule of Classes.
Admissions competency deficiencies
are indicated on the Mandatory Advising Computer System (MACS)
on the RGMA012 screen. The abbreviation "DEFIC" is
found in the upper section near the center. If this area is marked
"Y" for yes, then the student has one or more deficiencies.
The lower portion of this screen will list the basic competency
areas of ENGLISH, MATH, LAB SCI, AND SOC SCI (AMERH- and OTHESS
for American History and Other Social Science). The areas that
are blank indicate that the student is deficient in those areas.
Appealing Basic Competencies.
A student who has not met all basic competencies at the end of
one calendar year after the student's initial date of enrollment
is not permitted to continue at ASU. Each student is notified
that he or she may not register or, if already registered, that
the registration has been canceled. Such students are considered
"dismissed." A student wishing to appeal the dismissal
should submit a petition through his or her college. The colleges
have three options in reviewing these appeals:
1. Extending the student's end semester
to allow one additional semester to complete the required course
work;
2. Allowing the student to substitute
a course not currently approved to fulfill a competency area when
an error has been made in advising or for other just causes; or
3. Denying the petition. College actions are forwarded
to the Office of the Registrar for processing.
305 Edits
Edits refers to a coding in SIS that controls enrollment in selected
courses. ASU makes use of course requirements edits to determine
a student's eligibility to register for certain of ASU's courses.
They also are used to help manage enrollment activity. All departments,
however, do not use this technology; and thus, all courses do
not use edits.
Course Requirements edits check for criteria such as completion
of course prerequisites, grade point average, academic level,
professional program affiliation, major or degree of a student
upon registration for classes. Edits also help manage enrollment
by allowing priority registration for certain majors during pre-registration,
for example.
At the time of registration, if a student is found to be ineligible
to register for a course, a message is given. This message is
"Ineligible - See College/Course Requirements." MACS
also will indicate if a student is found to be ineligible based
on course requirement edits. An advisor can see this information
on the Overrides needed screen on MACS. An advisor also can see
from MACS whether an override has been issued to 'override' the
course requirements for a student.
An advisor can check the RGCR011 Course Requirements screens on
SIS to determine if a course has edits on it. The advisor can
read the edit and advise a student accordingly. The advisor
can check for edits at the time of meeting with a student, before
registration. This may minimize frustration associated with unsuccessful
registration. Another suggestion is to become familiar with edits
on certain courses to help the advisor match certain courses with
certain students' needs. Instructions to read and interpret
these edits can be found in the SIS Manual, Sect VII, pages 10-17.
One should contact the department offering the course for information
pertaining to their course requirements edits, and to request
an override of a requirement if deemed appropriate.

308 Progression
308.1 Retention and Academic
Standards
See "Retention and Academic
Standards" section of the General Catalog.
308.2 Academic Good Standing
Academic good standing for degree-seeking
students for the purpose of retention is defined by the university
as follows:
Total Earned Hours Minimum Cumulative
GPA
24 or fewer 1.60
25-55 1.75
56 or more 2.00
A student who does not maintain the
minimum GPA standard is placed on academic probation or is disqualified.
A student on academic probation is in conditional good standing
and is permitted to enroll. A student who has been disqualified
is not in academic good standing and is not permitted to enroll
for fall or spring semesters. To transfer from one college to
another within the university or to be eligible for readmission,
a student must have a GPA of 2.00 or better. The GPA determining
good standing computed on courses taken only at ASU.
For purposes of retention or transfer,
an individual college may set higher GPA standards; otherwise,
the university standards prevail. See the college sections of
General Catalog or contact the college deans' offices for statements
regarding college retention standards. The student's college
assumes responsibility for enforcing academic standards and may
place any student on probation who has failed to maintain good
standing as defined. A student who is placed on probation at
the end of a semester is subject to disqualification by the college
at the end of the following semester if the conditions imposed
for retention are not met. Disqualification is exercised at the
discretion of the college and becomes effective on the first day
of the semester following college action. A disqualified student
is notified by the dean of the college or the Office of the Registrar
and is not allowed to register in a fall or spring semester at
the university until reinstated. A student who has been disqualified
may appeal to the college standards committee. A student who
is disqualified may not attend as a non-degree student.
Academic
Advising.
See section on academic advising
in the General Catalog. Students who are placed
on probation are also on mandatory advising. They will need to
see the academic advisor in their major or college before registering.
Disqualified students who would like to return to ASU should
see their advisor to discuss summer enrollment or other means
to earn reinstatement.
308.3 General Studies
General Studies (GS) is a 35 credit university requirement for
all undergraduate degrees, consisting of specific course categories,
defined as core and awareness areas. English Composition is also
a university requirement but is not officially a General Studies
requirement although frequently mentioned as such. Details on
General Studies categories and their components may be found in
the ASU catalog.
As with major requirements, General Studies requirements are tied
to a specific catalog year. Initiated in its current form in
1987, the only change to the structure has been the addition of
a third awareness area, Cultural Awareness. Until the 1998-99
catalog, students had the choice of completing 2 of the 3 areas;
with 98-99 requirements, all three are required.
College / Department Reciprocity. Because General
Studies is a requirement for all students, colleges are expected
to honor the decisions made by another ASU college regarding transfer
courses or ASU exception s for completing GS. For students in
the 96-98 catalog and later, these decisions may be recorded in
DARS assuring students of a consistent report on GS completion.
Determining General Studies Courses. Several resources
are available to determine whether a course has been approved
for General Studies. For ASU and transfer work a course's GS
designation may be changed due to mandatory reviews by the General
Studies Council so referring to appropriate sources is critical
when advising a student.
The General Studies Council delegated the authority for assigning
General Studies equivalencies from non-articulated schools to
the college advisors. Colleges vary in how decisions are determined
and approved, but once a determination is made, other colleges
are expected to honor the decision.
308.4 Declaring a Major
Students declare a major as a part of the admissions
application to the University. Many incoming students, particularly
freshmen who are undecided, select "no-preference" in
the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. Majors in professional
programs, such as business, education and nursing, use a pre-professional
designation for the "major" to distinguish incoming
students and continuing students not yet eligible for professional
program status. Students who need help with selecting a major
should explore their opportunities with an academic advisor and
consult with the advisors in Career Services.
Changing Majors
Students who decide to change majors
after they have applied to the University but BEFORE they have
initially registered for classes may do so by contacting Undergraduate
Admissions.
Students who with to change
their major after registering for classes must submit a Change
to Major/Campus form to the college of the desired major. Students
may request to change majors at any point in the academic year.
The minimum requirement is an ASU Cumulative Grade Point Average
of 2.0. The approval to change majors, however, is up to the
college of the desired major. A higher grade point average, minimum
credits, or required advising may affect the students' eligibility
to make the change. In addition, a department may restrict the
process of changing majors during heavy registration periods.
Advise students to contact the department as early as possible
so they can successfully complete the change of major process.
No-Preference Students
No-preference students must declare
a major by the time they have completed 60 total credits. Registration
requests will not be processed until a major is declared.
Changing Majors / Programs of
Study
Students who change majors or campuses
after submitting an initial Program of Study will need to submit
a new POS in the new major.
308.5 Program of Study/DARS
A student must file an Undergraduate
Program of Study for graduation within the semester the student
earns his or her 87th semester hour (ASU Main) or 81st semester
hour (ASU West).
The Program of Study guides the student
in accomplishing successful completion of degree requirements
in a timely manner. Students who have not met the above requirement
are prevented from further registration. Program of Study forms,
change petitions to the Program of Study and procedural information
are available from the Graduation Section, SSB B113A, or any registrar
site.
Please refer to section 315, Degree
Audit Reporting System (DARS). DARS is designed to replace the
Program of Study.
308.6 Admissions Deficiencies: Review of
Courses That Fill Deficiencies
See Schedule of Classes for current semester
in order to select courses to meet deficiencies.
Please note that the courses to meet deficiencies
will change as of fall 1998 because of the new ABOR admission
requirements.
How to Find Student Deficiencies on SIS
Advisors are able to determine if a student
has an admission competency deficiency by looking up the student's
record on the MACS system. Enter RGMA01. Then select Advisor
menu (PF1) and then Student Admissions Profile (PF1). Enter the
student's ID number in the spaces provided (at the bottom in the
middle of the screen). The fourth line from the top in the middle
has an area called "DEFIC". If a "Y" is entered
here, then the student does have a deficiency. If a "N"
is entered here, then the student does not have a deficiency.
If a "Y" is entered, check the area near the bottom
of the screen called "COMP MET:". You will see "ENGL",
"LAB SCI", "MATH", and "SOC SCI: AMERH-
AND OTHSS-" in this area. If the space to the right of these
abbreviations lists a course, then the student has satisfied that
area. If the area to the right of these abbreviations is blank,
then the student has a deficiency in this area and should be advised
to take a course from the approved list to meet that deficiency.
308.7 Dismissal Policy
(see section 303.2 B "Appealing Basic
Competencies")
A student who has not met all basic competencies
at the end of one calendar year after the student's initial date
of enrollment is not permitted to continue at ASU. Each student
is notified that he or she may not register or, if already registered,
that the registration has been canceled. Such students are considered
"dismissed."
A student wishing to appeal the dismissal should
submit a petition through his or her college. The colleges have
three options in reviewing these appeals:
1. Extending the student's end semester to allow
one additional semester to complete the required course work;
2. Allowing the student to substitute a course not
currently approved to fulfill a competency area when an error
has been made in advising or for other just causes; or
3. Denying the petition.
College actions are forwarded to the Office
of the Registrar for processing.
308.8 Probation: University and College
Policy
(See section
307.1 "Academic Good Standing")
Academic good standing for degree-seeking students
for the purpose of retention is defined by the university as follows:
_________________________________________________________________
Total Earned Hours Minimum Cumulative GPA
_________________________________________________________________
24 or fewer 1.60
25-55 1.75
56 or more 2.00
_________________________________________________________________
A student who does not maintain the minimum
GPA standard is placed on academic probation or is disqualified.
A student on academic probation is in conditional good standing
and is permitted to enroll. A student who has been disqualified
is not in academic good standing and is not permitted to enroll
for fall or spring semesters.
308.9 Criteria for Probation
For purposes of retention or transfer, an individual
college may set higher GPA standards; otherwise, the university
standards prevail. See the college sections of the General
Catalog or contact the college deans' offices for statements
regarding college retention standards. The student's college
assumes responsibility for enforcing academic standards and may
place any student on probation who has failed to maintain good
standing as defined.
308.10 Disqualification Policy
A student who is placed on probation at the
end of a semester is subject to disqualification by the college
at the end of the following semester if the conditions imposed
for retention are not met. Disqualification is exercised at the
discretion of the college and becomes effective on the first day
of the semester following college action. A disqualified student
is notified by the dean of the college or the Office of the Registrar
and is not allowed to register in a fall or spring semester at
the university until reinstated. A student who has been disqualified
may appeal to the college standards committee. A student who
is disqualified may not attend as a non-degree student.
308.11 Probation Reports from the Registrar
After grades have been entered at the end of
each semester, the Registrar will run a probation report. It
will assign probation codes to each student. The "R"
code indicates that the student is in good standing; the "P"
that the student is on probation; "C" that the student
has met the terms of the probation but has not succeeded in bring
the GPA to the required number for good standing so is allowed
to continue on probation; and, "D" which indicates that
the student did not meet the terms of the probation and is now
disqualified. Some reports will also have a "B" code
that indicates that the student is on borderline probation. The
dean's office for each college is responsible for checking the
probation report for accuracy and to send letters to the students
informing them of their probationary status and the terms of their
probation. The student's grade report will also indicate the
student's academic standing.
309 Reinstatement
309.1 Reinstatement Procedure
If a student with a GPA of 2.00 or
greater has been disqualified by one college and seeks to transfer
to another college at ASU, the student may apply at the Readmissions
Section (SSV B114) or directly to the college to which the student
wishes and is qualified to transfer.
To be reinstated into an ASU college
other than the disqualifying college, the student must submit
an application for reinstatement to the University Undergraduate
Admissions Board through the Readmissions Section of the Office
of the Registrar.
To be reinstated into the same college
from which the student was disqualified, the student must submit
an application for reinstatement to the disqualifying college.
When reinstatement includes readmission, application must be
made to the Readmissions Section of the Office of the Registrar.
309.2 Standards Committee Reinstatement
Appeal
A student wishing to appeal the decision
of the standards committee of a college may submit an appeal to
the University Undergraduate Admissions Board. The decision of
the board is final.
309. 3 Low Cumulative GPA Appeal
Students who were placed on probation
and chose to leave ASU with this status (to "sit out"
a semester or more) who then desire to return to ASU can file
a "Low Cum Appeal" with the Readmissions Section of
the Office of the Registrar. The college of the student's major
will consider such requests and may readmit or require that the
student attend summer sessions at ASU or attend another institution
before readmitting.
310 Medical Withdrawal
Reference/Documentation: ASU General Catalog.
ASU Student Affairs Policy & Procedure Manual STA 602.09
310.1 Medical Withdrawal Policy (effective spring 1997)
The medical withdrawal is available to a student who, because
of serious illness and or injury is prevented from continuing
courses and incompletes and other arrangements with instructors
is not possible. This policy applies to situations in which physical,
mental and/or emotional health are compromised.
A document expanding the domain of this Policy has been developed
and retitled "Medical and Compassionate Withdrawal Policy."
Compassionate Withdrawal (effective spring 1997)
Note: As of November, 1996, approval for compassionate withdrawal
has not occurred. However, under special conditions, a Medical
designee may approve a medical withdrawal that encompasses the
broader "draft" Policy conditions.
The Compassionate Withdrawal is available when a student must
withdraw from one or more classes for significant personal reasons,
not related to the student's personal physical or mental health
(for example, care of an ill child or spouse, or a death in the
student's immediate family). Under these conditions, the student
may request a compassionate withdrawal.
Both the Medical Withdrawal and Compassionate Withdrawal aids
the student in two ways.
1. Such a withdrawal is considered an unrestricted withdrawal,
regardless of when it occurs and;
2. According to the policies of the Student Fee Payment Office,
the student may be refunded a greater portion of tuition and/or
fees paid for the semester that the published University refund
schedule would normally allow.
310.2 Medical Designee
A Medical Designee for each College is appointed by the Dean of
the College. Medical Designees from all Colleges meet monthly
with representatives from the Registrars Office and other University
staff. The purpose of these meetings is to clarify the role of
the Medical Designee, discuss case studies and options for handling
them, and increase awareness of issues surrounding the Medical
and Compassionate Withdrawal.
310.3 Medical Withdrawal Procedure
To apply for a medical withdrawal from courses, the student follows
the steps outlined below and submits required information to the
medical designee in the College in which he is enrolled.
1. Obtain a letter from your attending health care provider that
specifies the date of onset of illness, the dates you were under
professional care, the general nature of your medical condition
and why/how it prevented you from completing your course work,
the date of your anticipated return to school, and the last date
you were able to attend class. Application for less than a complete
withdrawal must be well documented to justify the selective nature
of the medical withdrawal request. The letter must be typed on
the health care provider's letterhead stationery and submitted
in a sealed envelope to the Director of Student Services.
2. Obtain and complete a Request for Documented Medical Withdrawal
form from your College's Student Services Offices or Dean's office
specifying the class(es) from which you wish to be withdrawn.
3. Attach a typed statement describing the conditions requiring
a medical withdrawal and attach to the Request Form. Submit these
materials to the College designee for Medical Withdrawals.
4. Make an appointment with the College Medical Designee to discuss
your condition, options, and consequences of withdrawal. The
College Medical Designee will decide whether a medical withdrawal
may be granted in your case. An approved medical withdrawal will
result in an unrestricted withdrawal for the class(es) indicated.
5. If the medical withdrawal is approved, the signed document,
the Documented Medical Withdrawal form, indicating approval, will
be forwarded to the appropriate offices. Call or visit the Student
Fee Payment Office ONLY if you have a question about your refund.
6. Readmission after medical withdrawal: (Only
if you have been out more than one semester)
Student meets with Director of Student Services to discuss readmission.
When applicable, student may need to arrange for a medical evaluation
for readmission with the University Physician, Psychiatrist or
Designee who originally recommended the medical withdrawal.
311 Academic Renewal
311.1 Description
Please refer to the Academic Renewal
information in the General Catalog. Academic renewal is
a university policy administered for the purpose of recalculating
the ASU cumulative GPA of undergraduate students who have been
readmitted to a degree program after an absence of at least five
continuous calendar years including summer sessions and who have
completed in good standing a minimum of 12 college-approved additional
hours in residence within three semesters after re-entry. Students
may have the former academic record before the five-year absence
(including transfer credits) accepted in the same manner as if
the credits were transfer credits. That is, earned hours are
carried forward for up to 60 hours of credit in which a grade
of "C" or better was earned. The cumulative GPA is
based only on credits earned subsequent to the student's re-entry.
All graduation residency, academic recognition residency, and
GPA requirements must be fulfilled after academic renewal.
311.2 Procedure
A request for academic renewal follows
this procedure:
1. Students interested in academic
renewal must request the Application for Academic Renewal from
the Readmission Section of the Office of the Registrar or the
dean of the college offering the major.
2. The Application for Academic
renewal may be submitted immediately upon readmission but not
later than the start of the third semester after readmission.
Credits must be completed by the third semester after re-entry.
3. The Application for Academic
Renewal is submitted by the student to the dean of the college
offering the major.
4. The dean specifies in advance
a minimum of 12 semester hours.
5. When the approved credits are
competed with a cumulative GPA of 2.50 or higher, and no grade
lower than "C" in each course, the dean forwards the
Application for Academic Renewal to the Office of the Registrar
for processing.
Only students working toward their
first undergraduate degree are eligible to apply for academic
renewal, which may be effected only once during a student's academic
career. Academic renewal is transferable among colleges. All
students with ASU Grade Point Averages below 2.00 are eligible
to petition for academic renewal. Individual colleges may elect
to entertain petitions for academic renewal from students with
ASU Grade Point Averages at or above 2.00. College standards
committees have final authorization on academic renewal petitions.
Eligibility for graduation is based on the ASU cumulative GPA
after academic renewal. However, a student's complete record--before
and after academic renewal--remains on the transcript and may
be taken into consideration when a student applies for undergraduate
professional or graduate programs.
312 Financial Aid/Fee Payment
Student Financial Assistance services are available to all students
of ASU. Student financial aid is available to eligible students
by way of application. Types of aid available include loans,
scholarships, and/or student employment. The Student Financial
Assistance Office (SFAO) offers a free Student Guide to Student
Financial Aid from the U.S. Department of Education. An advisor
should stay current and familiar with the SFAO general policies
and procedures by keeping up-to-date with the general information
available to advisors and students.
Student financial aid award information and some services are
available on the WWW. Students can contact FASTT at http://www.asu.edu.fastt/
on the Internet, or by telephone at 968-4400. FASTT is an interactive
self service site that allows a student to access the following
personal information on the WWW: documents still needed to complete
the personal file, personal award information, and financial aid
forms.
The SFAO is located on the second floor of the Main Campus, Student
Services Building in SSV C219.
313 Concurrent Degrees.
313.1 Definition
A student may earn two undergraduate
degrees concurrently at the University.
313 .2 Petition process
Main/West Campuses:
More than one baccalaureate degree
may be pursued concurrently if prior approval is given by the
standards committees(s) of the college(s) offering the degrees.

315 Degree Audit Reporting System
(DARS)
The DARS Pilot was started at ASU
in the Spring, 1996. As of fall 1997, all of the undergraduate
degrees have been encoded on the DARS system.
315.1 General Information about
DARS
What is DARS?
DARS stands for Degree Audit Reporting
System. DARS is a degree audit system developed by Miami University
in Ohio. DARS is one of many degree audit systems, but was selected
for ASU because it includes transfer work (transfer articulation)
and allows the institution extensive flexibility in designing
audits.
What is a degree audit?
A degree audit is an automated record
which matches courses a student has completed with the requirements
of a particular academic degree program. A biology major, for
example, would be able to get a report showing how completed course
work from ASU or transfer institutions would apply toward the
biology degree program. Further, it allows the same biology major
to match courses in other majors by running "what if"
audits, i.e. audits for majors other than the student's official
one.
What is transfer articulation?
Transfer articulation is a
term used to define a transferable course that has been assigned
a match or equivalency for a specific General Studies designation,
a specific course or both. Courses which transfer for academic
credit but have not been articulated (no specific match has been
assigned) will also appear on the audit.
What isn't an audit?
An audit is not a replacement
for the SIS. While an audit does draw information from the
SIS, advisors will still use both the SIS system and the degree
audit report when advising a student. An audit is not a way
to register for courses. The audit will tell the student
what is needed but it doesn't replace our registration processes
or forms.
An audit doesn't replace written
information, such as the University catalog, program fliers
and other handouts which explain programs and their procedures.
What might happen to the degree
audit report?
The degree audit report that you
will be working with for the next few months encompasses only
a few of the capabilities that the degree audit system (DARS)
can provide. As we use the degree audit system, we may find that
there are other uses that it has or that other information needs
to be included in the report. For example, the Program of Study
process could be changed or replaced minors could be added. The
degree audit team will be working with users to elicit information
from them about modifications that might be developed. Any changes
to DARS require time and resources, so requests will be evaluated
before modifications can be made.
Students should be able to access
their own degree audit reports via the World Wide Web by summer
of 1998. Students in the 1996-98 catalog may not be required
to file a Program of Study. Minors are also being added to the
audit.
315.2 General Directions
Please refer to the "Degree
Audit Reporting System (DARS) User's Manual." Students will
need to complete a Declaration of Graduation (DOG) form, available
on the Web. This form indicates the student's selection of a
major and is forwarded to the Graduation Office. The student
should keep a copy of the Declaration of Graduation form and the
degree audit report for reference.
315.3 DARS as an option to filing
a Program of Study
The use of DARS as an alternative
to filing a POS provides the students with specific information
about courses and requirements for graduation. In conjunction
with a "Declaration of Graduation Form," the use of
DARS in this way has definite advantages:
The student receives a personalized,
computerized print out illustrating degree requirements, courses
completed, and courses needed to graduate under a specific catalog.
A simple form declaring the catalog
under which the students plans to graduate is filed with the graduation
office.
The Program of Study (POS) form does
not need to be completed if a student uses DARS. As of fall 1997,
the only ASU students who cannot use DARS as their official record
are active student athletes.
316 Student Information System
(SIS)/Mandatory Advising Computer System (MACS)
316.1 Description
The Student Information System (SIS)
is a mainframe computer system which contains information about
students admitted to ASU. Academic advisors and other ASU staff
can use the system to review student transcripts, programs of
study, and to access the Mandatory Advising Computer System (MACS).
Each college establishes categories
of students within that college who are required to meet with
an advisor before registering. If advising is required, but students
do not obtain it, no type of registration will be allowed, including
pre-registration, InTouch (telephone), and on-line. Before attempting
any registration transactions, students should check with the
college of their major on the campus of their official affiliation
to determine if they are in a mandatory advising category.
When students receive advising, they
should ask the advisor if they need to be cleared on the computer
in order to proceed with registration. When a student comes to
an academic advisor for advising, the advisor will look on the
RGMA012 - MACS Student Admissions Profile screen to determine
if the student:
1. has any admission competency
deficiencies,
2. has complied with the measles
immunization requirement,
3. falls into a mandatory advising
category.
If the student has admission competency
deficiencies, the advisor will remind the student of this and
recommend appropriate courses to meet the deficiencies. Students
in a mandatory advising category will be advised accordingly.
For example, first-time freshmen should be given a brief orientation
to the university and then placement test scores should be discussed.
Transfer students should have their transfer work evaluated.
Students on probation or continuing probation will be advised
of the terms of their probation. Students who are admitted as
special admits should be reminded of the terms of their admission,
especially if they have to fulfill admissions competencies. Students
readmitted after a term away from ASU should have their catalog
year evaluated. After advising students, the advisor will make
an entry on MACS that will allow the student to register for the
term.
316.2 Cross Reference
Please refer to sections
204.1,
204.2
and
602 for additional detail on the SIS
and MACS screens.
