Arizona State University General Catalog 2004-2005 $4.00 Arizona State University 2004-2005 General Catalog All colleges, schools, divisions, and departments establish certain academic requirements that must be met before a degree is granted. Advisors, directors, department chairs, and deans are available to help the student understand these requirements, but the student is responsible for fulfilling them. At the end of a student's course of study, if requirements for graduation have not been satisfied, the degree is not granted. For this reason, it is important for all students to acquaint themselves with all regulations, to be informed throughout their college careers, and to be responsible for completing requirements. Courses, programs, and requirements described in the catalog may be suspended, deleted, restricted, supplemented, or changed in any other manner, at any time, at the sole discretion of the university and the Ari;zona Board of Regents. The catalog does not establish a contractual relationship but summari;zes the total requirements the student must currently meet before qualifying for a faculty recommendation to the Ari;zona Board of Regents to award a degree. Ari;zona State University reserves the right to add, amend, or revoke, without notice, any of the materials-information, requirements, regulations-published in this catalog.

HISTORY OF ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY On February 26, 1885, House Bill 164, "An Act to Establish a Normal School in the Territory of Arizona," was introduced in the 13th Legislative Assembly of Arizona Territory by John Samuel Armstrong. The bill, strongly supported by Charles Trumbull Hayden of Tempe, passed the House on March 6 and the Council on March 11 and was signed by Governor F.A. Tritle on March 12, 1885. thereby founding the institution known today as Arizona State University. Under the supervision of Principal Hiram Bradford Farmer, instruction was instituted on February 8, 1886, when 33 students met in a single room on land donated by George and Manha Wilson of Tempe. The institution began with the broad obligation to provide "instruction of persons ... in the art of teaching and in all the various branches that pertain to good common school eduM cation; also, to give instruction in the mechanical arts and in husbandry and agricullural chemistry, the fundamental law of the United States, and in what regards the rights and duties of citizens." With the growth of the state, especially the surrounding Phoenix metropolitan area, lhe school has carried forward this charter. accompanied by successive changes in scope, name, and governance. The Early Years. For the first 14 years, the school was governed by six principals. At the tum of the century and with another new name, Normal School of Arizona, President Anhur John Matthews brought a 30-year tenure of progress to the school. He assisted in changing the school to an all~college student status; the Normal School had enlisted high school students who had no other secondary educational facilities in Arizona. He embarked on a building schedule that included the state's first dormitories. Of the 18 buildings constructed while Matthews was president, six are still in use. His legacy of an "evergreen campus," with the import of many shrubs and trees and the planting of Palm Walk, continues to this day: the main campus is a nationally recognized arboretum. Matthews also saw to it that the Nonna! School was accredited outside the state. His service on national education organization boards was conducive to this recognition. The school remained a teacher's college in fact and theory during Matthews' tenure, although the struggle to attain status as a university was ongoing. 25 GENERAL INFORMATION An extraordinary event occurred March 20, 1911, when former President Theodore Roosevelt visited the Tempe school and spoke from the steps of Old Main. He had dedicated the Roosevelt Dam the day before and was impressed with Arizona. He noted that construction of the dam would benefit central Arizona's growth and that of the Normal School. It would be another year before the territory became a state. During the Great Depression, Ralph W. Swetman was hired as president for a three-year term. This was a time of uncertainty for educational institutions. Although enrollment increased due to the depression, many faculty were terminated and faculty salaries were cut. The North Central Association became the accrediting agency for Arizona State Teachers College. The Gammage Years. In 1933, Grady Gammage. then president of Arizona State Teachers College at Flagstaff, became president of Arizona State Teachers College at Tempe, a tenure that would last for nearly 28 years. The Graduate Division was created in 1937, and the first master's program was established the same year. On March 8, 1945, the three state institutions of higher learning came under the authority of one Arizona Board of Regents, which oversees ASU today. The phenomenal growth of the college began after the end of World War II. Dr. Gammage had foreseen that the G.l. Bill of Rights would flood campuses everywhere with returning veterans. Many of the veterans who had received military training in Arizona had fallen in love with the state and vowed to return after the war. The numbers within one year were staggering: in the fall semester of 1945, 553 students were enrolled; over the weekend semester break in January 1946, enrollment increased 110 percent to 1,163 students. Successive semesters saw continuing increased enrollment. Like his predecessor, Dr. Gammage oversaw the construction of a number of buildings. His greatest dream, that of a great auditorium, came to fruition after his death. He laid the groundwork for it with Frank Lloyd Wright. who designed what is now the university's hallmark building, Grady Gammage Memorial Auditorium, built in 1964. Years of Growth and Stature. During the 1960s, with the presidency of Dr. G. Homer Durham, Arizona State University began its academic rise with the establishment of several new colleges (the College of Fine Arts, the College of Law, the College of Nursing, and the School of Social Work) and the reorganization of what became the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and the College of Engineering and Applied Sciences. Perhaps most important, the university gained the authority to award the Doctor of Philosophy and other doctoral degrees. The next three presidents-Harry K. Newburn, 1969-71, John W. Schwada, 1971-81, and J. Russell Nelson, 198189-and Interim President Richard Peck, 1989, led the university to increased academic stature, expansion of the campuses, and rising enrollment. Under the leadership of Dr. Lattie F. Coor, from 1990 to June 2002, ASU grew to serve the Valley of the Sun through multiple campuses and extended education sites. His commitment to diversity, quality in undergraduate education, 26 research, and economic development underscored the university's significant gains in each of these areas over his 12year tenure. Part of Dr. Coor's legacy to the university was a successful fund-raising campaign. Through private donations, primarily from the local community, more than $500 million was invested in targeted areas that significantly impact the future of ASU. Among the campaign's achieve• men ts were the naming and endowing of the Barrett Honors College, the Katherine K. Herberger College of Fine Arts, and the Morrison School of Agribusiness and Resource Management at ASU East; the creation of many new endowed faculty positions; and hundreds of new scholarships and fellowships. A New Vision. ASU entered a new era on July 1, 2002, when Michael M. Crow joined the university as its 16th president. At his inauguration, President Crow highlighted his vision for transforming ASU into a New American University-one that is open and inclusive; that embraces its cultural, socioeconomic, and physical setting; and that promotes use-inspired research. As the only research university serving the entire metropolitan Phoenix area, ASU is in a unique position to evolve together with the city into one of the great intellectual institutions in the world. A strong foundation already is in place to move forward with Dr. Crow's vision. ASU admitted its largest and highest-quality freshman class ever in fall 2003 and has developed nationally recognized programs in a number of fields, including accounting, astrobiology, design science, creative writing, music, ecology and evolutionary biology, electron microscopy, nanotechnology, psychology, solid-state science, and supply chain management. In addition, ASU has embarked on its most aggressive capital building effort in more than a decade. The university is adding one million square feet of world-class, grade A research infrastructure, with the first building-Phase I of the Arizona BioDesign Institute already under construction and scheduled for completion in 2004. ASU will take a leading role in biomedicine and biotechnology. designing new therapies, new vaccines, new diagnostic devices, and better delivery methods. Research Extensive Status. ASU was named to Research Extensive (formerly Research I) status by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching in early 1994. Nationally. 88 universities have been granted this status, indicating successful garnering of support for research projects and educating future scientists. Athletics The original nickname for the Normal School of Arizona athletic teams was the Owls. Athletics other than Sunday hikes and lawn tennis were not part of the early curriculum. During President Matthews' tenure, some team competition began. The Tempe Bulldogs saw some interesting and rough competition with the University of Arizona Wildcats. In the l940s, the college's teams became the Sun Devils. In 1979, the university joined the Pacific-IO Conference. In 1987, ASU became the first Arizona football team to play in the Rose Bowl, defeating the University of Michigan Wolverines 22-15. ASU made its second appearance in 1997 against Ohio State. GENERAL INFORMATION In 2003, ASU finished 10th nationally in the Sears Directors' Cup, which recognizes the top athletic programs in the country. Ten teams finished in the top 20 nationally with five teams posting top IO finishes. Wrestling finished fifth; men's golf, sixth; baseball, seventh; gymnastics, ninth; and women's swimming/diving, 10th. UNIVERSITY CAMPUSES AND SITES ASU comprises ASU Main. ASU East. ASU West.

The ASU Center for the Study of Early Events in Photosynthesis was established in 1988 as part of a joint grant program of the Department of Energy, the National Science Foundation, and the Department of Agriculture. In 1990, it was designated a Regents Center of the University. Since September of 1995. it has been funded by the Office of the Vice President for Research and Economic Affairs and the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. The center consists of about 90 students, postdoctoral associates, and research scientists led by 15 faculty members in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry and the School of Life Sciences. These research groups share a common goal: understanding the process of photosynthesis, which is responsible for producing all of our food and filling the vast majority of our energy and fiber needs. The impetus for development of the center was the premise that photosynthesis is a complex problem that will only yield to an investigation using a wide variety of approaches and techniques. Thus, the center serves as an infrastructure supporting individual ASU scientists and fostering multidisciplinary cooperative research projects. The ultimate objective of the research is the elucidation of the basic principles governing the biochemical and biophysical processes of photosynthetic energy storage. This goal is being realized via investigation of the early events of photosynthesis, including light absorption and excitation transfer in photosynthetic antennas; the mechanism of primary photochemistry in plant and bacterial systems; secondary electron transfer processes; structure and assembly of photosynthetic antennas, reaction centers, and electron transfer proteins; pigment-protein interactions; artificial and biomimetic photosynthetic solar energy conversion systems; and mechanisms of biological electron transfer reactions. The center is equipped with state-of-the-art instrumentation that allows students to do frontier research in a broad range of disciplines. Equipment includes a variety of pulsed lasers for measurements with time resolution ranging from sub-picoseconds to seconds. a 500 MHz N:MR instrument, an EPR spectrometer, a protein X-ray facility, spectrophotometers, fluorometer, a protein sequencer, and an amino acid analyzer. The center sponsors a weekly Photosynthesis Seminar Series and brings in visiting scientists from around the world to carry out collaborative research. Undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral training programs in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry and within the Plant Biology curriculum are central components of the center's activities.

Faculty and graduate students within ESRI investigate a wide range of topics concerning physical activity, including different age cohorts, levels of health, levels of ability and fitness, levels and types of training, and physical and emotional stresses, nutrition, and genetic backgrounds. Where applicable, these aspects are studied using an interdisciplinary approach. ESRI is affiliated with a number of clinical and research institutions in the Phoenix area. ESRl houses numerous specialized research laboratories. Biomechanics applies the laws of mechanics to the study of human movement. Current research examines kinematic and kinetic determinants of locomotion patterns in walking, running, cycling, and swimming; neuromusculoskeletal modeling and computer simulation of locomotion in clinical and sport applications; ergonomics; and mechanisms underlying upper extremity repetitive strain injuries. Exercise physiology is the study of physiologic systems (cardiovascular, respiratory, muscular, endocrine, metabolic) under conditions of stress, particularly exercise stress. Both acute exercise responses and chronic adaptations resulting from exercise training are considered in relation to health and performance and are investigated in several specialized labs. The Exercise Biochemistry Lab examines subcellular systems involved in the provision and regulation of energy transfer during exercise. The Exercise Endocrinology Lab studies interrelationships of exercise and training with stress, hormones, neurotransmitters, and the immune system. Research conducted in the Applied Exercise Physiology Lab is aimed at better understanding how physical activity and exercise influence the health, fitness, and athletic performance of able-bodied and physically-challenged individuals. Research in the Motor Control Lab investigates how movement is regulated and controlled via the nervous system in normal and pathological populations. Special emphases include motor deficits attributed to basal ganglia dysfunction and upper extremity coordination, particularly finger and hand posture. in reaching and prehensile movements. Motor development studies how human movement is generated and evolves throughout the lifespan. Current research focuses on learning and development of bimanual coordination. Timing and coordination of perceptual-motor skills are measured in normal developing children, persons with Down syndrome, and adults to investigate cerebral asymmetries and specificity of learning. The Sport and Exercise Psychology lab examines the relationship between psychological constructs and physical activity and the influence of participation in physical activity on psychological phenomena. Current research is designed to examine the influence of physical activity, fitness, and particular sport practices on psychophysiological mechanisms and cognitive functioning; the effect of psychological skills for performance enhancement; motivational aspects of physical activ- RESEARCH CENTERS ity across the lifespan; and the effects of exercise on mental health.

RESIDENCY CLASSIFICATION POLICIES AND PROCEDURES The Arizona Board of Regents is required by law to establish uniform guidelines and criteria for classifying students' residency to determine those students who must pay nonresident tuition. The following is a summary of the general guidelines used to determine residency for tuition purposes. All of the evidence is weighed under the presumption that a nonresident student's presence in Arizona is primarily for the purpose of education and not to establish domicile and that decisions of an individual about the intent to establish domicile are generally made after the completion of an education and not before. To obtain resident status for tuition purposes, independent students must establish their residence in Arizona at least one year before the last day of regular registration for the semester in which they propose to attend ASU. Arizona residence is generally established when individuals are physically present in the state with the intention of making Arizona their permanent home. Mere physical presence in Arizona for one year does not automatically establish residency for tuition purposes. Adult students and emancipated minors must combine physical presence in Arizona for one year with objective evidence of their intent to make Arizona their permanent home. If these steps are delayed, the one-year period is extended until both presence and intent have been demonstrated for one full year. In addition to physical presence and intent, the student must demonstrate financial independence for the two tax years immediately preceding the request for resident classification. The student must demonstrate objective evidence of self-support and that he or she was not claimed as an income tax deduction by his or her parents or any other individual for two years. An adult student is defined as being at least 18 years of age at the beginning of the domicile year. For a complete definition of an emancipated minor, refer to the Arizona Board of Regents' residency classification policies, available in the Residency Classification section, ssv 146. No person is considered to have gained or lost resident status merely by attending an out-of-state educational institution. Aliens. Students who are aliens are subject to the same requirements for resident status as are U.S. citizens. In establishing domicile, aliens must not hold a visa that prohibits establishing domicile in Arizona. Refugees. Refugees may qualify as resident students by virtue of having been granted refugee status in accordance with all applicable laws of the United States and having met all other requirements for residence in Arizona. Exceptions to the General Residency Rule Students may be eligible for resident status for tuition purposes if they can meet one of the following criteria on or before the last day of regular registration. Legal Dependents. If a student and his or her parents are domiciled in Arizona and have not met the one-year residency requirement but the parents are entitled to claim the student as a dependent for federal and state tax purposes, the student may be eligible for resident status for tuition purposes. Transferred Employees. If students are domiciled in Arizona and have not met the one-year residency requirement but are employees or spouses of employees who have been transferred to Arizona by their employers for employment purposes, the students may be eligible for resident status for tuition purposes. Members of the Military. If students are not domiciled in Arizona but are members of the U.S. Armed Forces stationed in Arizona or are the spouses or dependent children of a member (as defined in A.R.S. § 43-I001 ). the students may be eligible for resident status for tuition purposes. If military service is concluded while enrolled, students do not lose resident status while they are continuously enrolled in a degree program. If individuals are domiciled in Arizona immediately before becoming members of the U.S. Armed Forces, they do not lose resident status because of their absence while on active duty with the military as long as they maintain Arizona affiliations and file Arizona state tax. A student who is a member of an Arizona National Guard or Arizona Reserve unit may be eligible for resident status for tuition purposes. A student may also be eligible if he or she has been honorably discharged from the am1ed forces of the United States, has declared Arizona as his or her legal residence one year before discharge, and has taken the other appropriate actions, including filing an Arizona income tax return. A student who is the spouse or dependent of a member of the armed forces who has claimed Arizona as his or her legal residence and filed Arizona income tax for one 57 FEES, DEPOSITS,AND OTHER CHARGES year before enrollment may be eligible for resident status for tuition purposes. Teachers and Classroom Aides. If a student is under contract to teach on a full-time basis or is employed as a fulltime non-cenified classroom aide at a school within a school district. the student is eligible to pay resident tuition only for courses necessary to complete the requirements for cenification by the State Board of Education. Native Americans. Students who are members of a Native American tribe whose reservation lies both in Arizona and an adjacent state and who are residents of that reservation may be eligible for resident status for tuition purposes. Proceduresfor EstablishingResidentStatus All students are responsible for obtaining residency classification for tuition purposes before registering and paying their fees. This procedure requires students to complete and file an Arizona residency information form. This form is required of all new and returning students as part of the admission or readmission process. Students classified as nonresidents who believe they may qualify for resident status must file a petition with the Residency Classification section. This petition must he filed by the last day of regular registration. A student seeking resident status must also file supporting documentation necessary to provide a basis for residency classification (source[s] of suppon. driver's license. voter's registration, vehicle registration. etc.). Students whose residency petitions are in process at the fee payment deadline are responsible for paying nonresident tuition. However. an appropriate refund is issued if resident status is later granted for that semester. Any student found to have made a false or misleading statement concerning resident status is subject to dismissal from the university. Failure to file a timely written petition for reclassification of resident status for tuition purposes constitutes a waiver of the student's right to apply for the given semester. Petition deadlines are published each semester in the St'/r('dule of Clas.,·('S.Extensions to the deadlines are not pennitted. Residency classification is an extremely complex issue. The information presented here is a summary and does not address each individual's situation: therefore. students are encouraged to make a personal visit to the Residency Classification section to discuss their individual circumstances as soon as possible. Guidelines for determination of residency for tuition purposes are subject to review and change without notice. For more information, call the Residency Classification section at 480/965-7712, or access the Web site at www.asu.edu/registrar/residency.

The Student Financial Assistance Office helps students, within the limits of available funds, meet college costs. Financial assistance is available a<; scholarships, grants, loans, and employment. This aid has been made available collectively by the university, alumni, private foundations, civic groups, individuals, and state and federal governments. To be considered for financial aid, all students must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). This application should be completed in January or early February preceding the academic year the student anticipates attending ASU. The priority date for applying is February 15. Applications completed after this date are processed; however, they are considered late applications. Late applicants are less likely to receive federal work-study, grants, and scholarships due to funding limitations. Additional documentation may be requested to verify application data. Students receive an award notification once their file is complete. Applicants should read carefully all correspondence received. Students receiving aid are required to meet minimum standards of satisfactory academic progress. In addition to maintaining the minimum GPA defined for good academic standing, students must complete their degree within the maximum allowable hours and maintain a satisfactory completion rate. Failure to meet these standards results in the suspension of aid for subsequent semesters. Students can access personal information regarding financial aid through the SunDial phone system at 480/350-1500 or by accessing ASU Interactive at www.asu.edu/interactive. Students can access the following infomrntion: (1) documents still needed to complete a financial aid file; and (2) award information. Documents needed to complete the aid file can be printed from the Student Financial Assistance Web site at www.asu.edu/fa. TYPES OF FINANCIAL AID AND MAJOR PROGRAMS ASU students receive financial aid resources totaling more than $273 million. There are four categories of financial aid: scholarships, grants, loans, and employment. Scholarships There are two sources of scholarships at ASU: universityfunded scholarships and private donor scholarships. Many scholarships are offered on the basis of academic merit. However, financial need criteria may also be included in the selection of recipients. Other considerations are GPA, leadership qualities, and community service. The Scholarship Office coordinates all scholarship programs. High school students should contact their high school counselors or visit the scholarship Web site at www.asu.edu/fa/scholarships to determine the appropriate process for obtaining a variety of scholarships available to entering freshmen. Other undergraduate students may contact the Scholarship Office or search the Web site for available scholarships. In addition, many academic units provide scholarship funding and select students based on a variety of criteria, which include artistic talent, musical ability, and athletic performance. Students seeking these scholarships should contact the appropriate academic unit directly. Educational Tax Credits. Students may be eligible for either the Hope Scholarship Credit or the Lifetime Leaming tax credit. Additional infonnation about these tax credits is available on the Web at www.asu.edu/sbs. Consult a personal tax advisor about qualifications for the Hope Scholarship Credit, and Lifetime Leaming tax credit. Private Donor Scholarships. Most of these scholarship funds are provided by employers, private individuals, organizations, and corporations. In most cases, the private donor specifies the criteria used by the Scholarship Office to identify candidates for a particular scholarship. University Scholarships. These scholarships generally cover tuition and/or fees. The largest source for university scholarships is the waiver program authorized by the Arizona Board of Regents. In addition, many scholarships are funded from a general endowment fund. Some of the typical areas targeted for these scholarships are top academic seniors in Arizona high schools, students who demonstrate leadership, students who demonstrate scholastic or scientific abilities, students with disabilities, and nontraditional students. Grants Grants are gift assistance from the federal government, the state, or the university that do not have to be repaid. Federal Pell Grant. Funded by the federal government, the Pell Grant is awarded to students who demonstrate significant financial need. Pell Grant eligibility is determined by the U.S. Department of Education. All students are informed of their eligibility for the grant through the Student Aid Report. The maximum award for the 2003-2004 academic year was $4,050. Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant. The Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG) is a federally funded, campus-based program. A limited amount of funding is available through the program. The amount received will depend upon a student's financial need, the amount of other assistance awarded, and the avail- 59 FINANCIAL AID 2003-2004 Typical Undergraduate Student Budgets Dependent Independent Item At-Home On/Off Campus Room Board Personal/miscellaneous Transportation Books/supplies $ 1,100 1,178 2,479 1,178 823 $ Total living 1 $ 6,758 $ 10,933 $ 13,376 Resident tuition Special fees $ 3,508 87 $ $ Resident total $ 10,353 4,101 2,352 2,479 1,178 823 3,508 87 On/Off Campus $ 5,608 2,352 3,176 1,417 823 3,508 87 $ 14,528 $ 16,971 Nonresident tuition 2 Special fees $ 12,028 87 $ 12,028 87 Nonresident total $ 23,048 $ 25,491 1 Loan fees are nol included in this amount.

Maximum grant awards for 2003-2004 were $1,000. Leveraging Educational Assistance Partnership (LEAP). This is a three-partner program of federal, state, and university funding. Students with a high financial need may receive this particular form of funding. It is restricted to residents of Arizona. The maximum grant for 2003-2004 was $1,500. Student Aid Trust Grant. Provided in partnership between ASU students and the state legislature, these funds are provided primarily to resident, undergraduate or underrepresented students with a high financial need. The maximum grant for 2003-2004 was $2,000. University Grants. University grants are generally reserved as the last grant programs used to resolve a student's need. Funded by the university, these grants are available for both resident and non-resident students. The maximum grant awards for 2003-2004 were $2,000. Loans Loans are forms of financial assistance available from sources such as the federal government and private lenders that must be repaid and will include any accrued interest. William D. Ford Direct Student Loan. Through the William D. Ford Direct Student Loan program, the federal government loans money to students based on the university's determination of the student's financial need and cost of education. Repayment begins after the student graduates, leaves school, or drops below half-time enrollment. Under this program there are two loan types: subsidized and unsubsidized. With a subsidized Direct Student Loan, the federal government pays the interest on the loan principal 60 during the student's in-school status, grace, and other authorized periods of deferment. The school may determine that the student is eligible for an unsubsidized Direct Student Loan. In this program, the federal government does not pay the interest during the student's in-school status, grace, or other authorized periods of deferment. As the student proceeds through school, interest will accrue and will be added once the student enters repayment. Otherwise, conditions and terms for the two programs are the same. The variable interest rate is adjusted every July I. The current interest rate can be found at www.ed.gov/directloan. The rate cannot exceed 8.25 percent. In addition, there is a 3 percent loan origination fee deducted from each disbursement. The federal government provides several options for repayment once the student has left school. For students who are considered dependent based on their financial aid application, the following total annual loan limits for subsidized and unsubsidized loans apply: freshmen may borrow up to $2,625 per year; sophomores, up to $3,500 per year; and juniors and seniors, up to $5,500 per year. For students who are considered independent, the following annual loan limits apply: freshmen may borrow up to $6,625, of which only $2,625 can be subsidized; sophomores, up to $7,500, of which only $3,500 can be subsidized; and juniors and seniors, up to$ I 0,500, of which only $5,500 can be subsidized. Federal Perkins Loan. The Federal Perkins Loan program is funded by the federal government and is awarded based on financial need. The school is the actual lender, and repayments after graduation are made to the university at a 5 percent interest rate. Like the subsidized Student Loan, no interest accrues on the Perkins Loan during the student's in-school status, grace, or other authorized periods of FINANCIAL AID defennent. If funding is available. defennem and cancellation provisions may apply to graduates working in community service. qualifying law enforcement. and teaching occupations. Maximum undergraduate awards for 20032004 were $3.000. Parent Loan for Undergraduate Students. Under the Parent Loan for Undergraduate Studems (PLUS). parents may borrow money from the federal government on behalf of their dependent students. With this loan. interest is not deferred and repayment begins within 60 days after the tinal disbursement for the enrollment period. The PLUS approv,11 is based on the parents· credit history. There is a variable interest rate adjusted every July I that cannot exceed 9 percent. The maximum loan amount is detennined by subtracting all other financial aid from the student's cost of education. If parents are detennined ineligible for a PLUS and students need additional funds. they should contact the Student Financial Assistance office to detennine their eligibility for an unsubsidized Direct Student Loan. Employment The Student Employment Office provides employment opponunities to students who must work to meet educational expenses or who wish to work because they feel the experience can be a valuable pan of their education. Both Federal Work-Study and hourly positions are available. For more information. acces.~www.asu.edu/fa/studemp on the Web. Federal Work-Study. The Federal Work-Study program encourages community service work and jobs that complement and reinforce educational or career goals. Funds for this program are provided on a matching basis hy the federal government and the university. Students employed under this program receive the same pay rates as other students being employed on campus. In this program. students must demonstrate a financial need as established through completion of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSAl. University Hourly. The university. with its own resources. hires many students on a part-time basis. Although the jobs are similar to those under the Federal Work-Study Program, the university provides the entire amount of the student ·s wage. Part-Time Off-Campus. The university receives requests for a.~sistance from many agencies and companies throughout the area to help them recruit and hire students on a parttime basis. This job listing service provides opportunities for students not only to earn funds to suppon their education. but to gain experience in the areas of their majors or career interests. Cady Mall provides a convenient north-south route through ASU Main campus, which has a wide variety of trees and other vegetation from around the world.
