To do that, requires that our faculty and staff reflect the intellectual, ethnic and cultural diversity of our nation and world so that our students learn from the broadest perspectives and we engage in the advancement of knowledge with the most inclusive understanding possible of the issues we are addressing through our scholarship. As one part of this commitment, we have developed a strategic plan for diversity at ASU. Developed in consultation with a wide variety of constituencies within the university and the deans, this plan, called “Building blocks for success through people, programming and policies,” contains a statement which serves as an ongoing touchstone of our commitment and several specific initiatives which will change and evolve over time depending on the challenges and opportunities we have before us. Diversity is defined in terms of representation and inclusion. Representation reflects the extent to which our students, staff, faculty and administrators proportionately reflect the regional and national populations served by our public institution. Inclusion encompasses empowerment and voice among all members of the university community in the areas of scholarship, teaching, learning and governance. We recognize that race/ethnicity and gender historically have been markers of diversity in institutions of higher education; we further believe that diversity includes additional categories such as socioeconomic background, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, disability, veteran status, nationality and intellectual perspective.

The institution has been continuously accredited by the Higher Learning Commission since 1931. This accreditation is reviewed for reaffirmation every ten years, with the next review in 2013. (For more information on the reaffirmation process, see here (http://hlc2013.asu.edu/).) The official letter from the Higher Learning Commission communicating the status of ASU’s accreditation is available for public viewing here (http://accreditation.asu.edu/sites/default/files/HLC_Accreditation_Letter.pdf). A number of programs also have specialized accreditations by professional and national accrediting agencies. A list of those specialized accreditations may be found (http://accreditation.asu.edu/programs-specialized-accreditation). ASU University Accreditation Office At ASU, the Vice Provost for Graduate Education serves as the University Accreditation Officer (UAO). Representing the University President and the University Provost, the UAO officer is charged with the essential functions related to university-wide accreditation activities and with providing guidance and assistance as the process moves forward leading to successful and productive accreditation visits. University Accreditation Officer and Vice Provost for Graduate Education Andrew N. Webber 480-965-7279 Fax: 480-965-0375 andrew.webber@asu.edu Administrative Assistant, Accreditation Carla McNeil-Baxter 480-965-6942 Fax: 480-965-0375 carla.mcneil-baxter@asu.edu Functions of the ASU University Accreditation Office Liaison to the Higher Learning Commission (HLC). The UAO monitors institutional compliance with HLC requirements and coordinates the institutional evaluation for continuing accreditation by the HLC every ten years. The UAO also facilitates HLC approval of program and/or institutional changes where required. As a program prepares for accreditation, it is encouraged to visit the HLC website higherlearningcommission.org to find information about HLC standards and procedures for accreditation. Professional Accreditation Oversight The UAO works closely with academic units and programs that seek new accreditation or seek re-accreditation. This oversight includes: • • • • • Coordination of site visitors schedule and university administrators. All programs are asked to coordinate the site visitors schedules/itinerary with the UAO – this to insure that appropriate university administrators will be available at the time of the site visit. Review of self-study draft. The UAO will conduct a review of the self-study draft to assure a self-study that meets the accreditation criteria and guidelines and addresses any problems from previous accreditation and other issues that may be present. A written report will be returned to the program with recommendations and edits. Briefing paper. The UAO will review the briefing paper draft (prepared by the program) and submit recommendations and edits before the final paper is distributed to university administrators and other appropriate officials. The briefing paper is an in-house confidential resource and not shared with the site visitors. The site visit report and response to the report. The UAO will review the site visit report and the program’s draft response, looking for accuracy, completeness, and tone. Based on this review, written recommendations for the program response will be made. Accreditation Status Letter. The original letter is held in the UAO as part of the accreditation permanent records. The UAO will send copies of this letter to the program and supervising administrator. The UAO will enter the date of the next accreditation review into the university calendar which is maintained by this office. Academic Catalog Archive 2013-2014 6 Note: Repository for all accreditation documents. All programs are asked to provide copies of all accreditation records, reports and other documentation to the UAO, as they become available. Records will be held in the UAO until being sent to University Archives.

Degree-seeking undergraduate students are automatically assigned to a tuition cohort [1] upon admission or readmission and do not need to take any action to benefit from the commitment tuition rate. The commitment tuition rate [1] applicable to each tuition cohort is initially equal to the approved tuition rate [1] at the time of admission or readmission. Any future increases in tuition will be based off of this rate until the tuition commitment period [2] expires. Undergraduate resident students not eligible for the commitment tuition rate include non-degree seeking students, students enrolled in six or fewer credit hours, and students whose commitment period has expired. Ineligible students will pay the most recently approved tuition rate. • • • • Commitment Tuition Rate [1] Commitment Period [2] Commitment Tuition Rate Definitions [3] Commitment Tuition Rate FAQs [4] Note: Continuation of the commitment tuition rate assumes no unusual levels of inflation and no substantial change in the levels of state support.

The commitment period is five years for degree seeking undergraduate students admitted as freshmen. The commitment period for undergraduate students classified as other than freshmen is prorated based upon credit hours earned prior to the semester of admission. All prior earned credits [1] are included in this determination regardless of whether the hours are applicable to a student's program of study. The commitment period will be retroactively modified and tuition charges adjusted if prior earned credits are reported subsequent to admission. Commitment Period Degree Seeking Undergraduate Residents Prior Earned Credits Up to 24 25 to 55 56 to 86 87 and Above Academic Level upon Admission Freshman Sophomore Junior Senior Commitment Period 5 Year 4 Year 3 Year 2 Year Expiration of Commitment Period The commitment period ends upon the earlier of the expiration of the commitment period determined at the time of admission, Academic Catalog Archive 2013-2014 20 upon graduation, or upon application for admission or readmission. The commitment period is not carried over for students who graduate or leave prior to expiration of the commitment period determined at the time of admission. Upon expiration of the commitment period students revert to paying the most recently approved tuition rate. Residency Status The commitment tuition rate is applicable to undergraduate students classified as residents for tuition purposes. If an undergraduate student is reclassified from nonresident to resident for tuition purposes, the commitment period and commitment tuition rate are determined based upon the original semester of admission as a nonresident student. For example, a student admitted as a nonresident freshman fall 2011 and reclassified as a resident fall 2013 is eligible for a three-year commitment beginning in fall 2013 and will be classified in the fall 2011 tuition cohort. A sophomore transfer student admitted as a nonresident fall 2011 and reclassified as a resident fall 2013 is eligible for a two-year commitment period beginning fall 2013 and will be classified in the fall 2011 tuition cohort. Maricopa-ASU Pathways Program (MAPP) Students admitted to ASU as resident degree-seeking students in accordance with the Maricopa-ASU Pathways Program (MAPP) are eligible for the ASU tuition commitment. The commitment period is five years from the time of acceptance in a MAPP program, if at the time of admission to ASU the student is in compliance with the MAPP requirements. For example, a student accepted in a MAPP program fall 2011 who transfers to ASU fall 2013 is eligible for the fall 2011 tuition commitment rate for three years, i.e. fall 2013 until spring 2016. Upon expiration of the commitment period students revert to paying the most recently approved tuition rate. Note: Students admitted to ASU in accordance with transfer protocols other than MAPP will be billed for tuition in accordance with the policies applicable to transfer students. Non-degree Students Students admitted as undergraduate non-degree seeking are not assigned to a tuition cohort or a commitment period. Non-degree seeking undergraduate resident students pay the most recently approved tuition rate and are subject to all future tuition increases. Second Undergraduate Degree The commitment period for a student who previously earned one or more undergraduate degrees will be determined at the time of admission or readmission based upon prior earned credits. Concurrent Degrees The commitment period is not extended for students working on two or more degrees concurrently. Part-time Enrollments The commitment period determined at the time of admission or readmission is not extended for part-time enrollment. Undergraduate degree seeking resident students enrolled in six or fewer credit hours are billed the most recently approved parttime rate. Breaks in Enrollment The commitment period determined at the time of admission or readmission will not be extended due to breaks in enrollment for any reason, including military service, illness, or church mission. Students must apply for a Leave of Absence to maintain their original semester of admission for purposes of assignment to a tuition cohort and determination of the commitment tuition rate upon their return, but the commitment period is not extended by the Leave of Absence. The commitment tuition rate will continue to increase during the Leave of Absence. For example, a student admitted as a freshman fall 2011 who takes a leave of absence for fall 2012 and spring 2013, returning fall 2013, is eligible for the remaining three-year commitment period and remains classified in the fall 2011 tuition cohort. The commitment period for students required to apply for readmission will be determined based upon the new semester of admission and prior earned credits. For example, a student admitted as a freshman fall 2011 completes 30 credit hours, but does not attend fall 2012 or spring 2013 and does not take a Leave of Absence. Upon application for readmission fall 2013 the student is classified as a sophomore eligible for a four year commitment period, is classified in the fall 2013 tuition cohort, and the commitment tuition rate is based upon the tuition rate approved for fall 2013.

Degree-Seeking The commitment tuition rate applies to undergraduate degree seeking resident students. Undergraduate resident students not seeking a degree will pay the most recently approved tuition rate and are subject to all future tuition increases.

The commitment period is not extended for part-time enrollment. Residency Status The commitment tuition rate is applicable to undergraduate students classified as residents for tuition purposes. If an undergraduate student is reclassified from nonresident to resident for tuition purposes, the commitment tuition rate and commitment period are determined based upon the original semester of admission as a nonresident student. Community College Transfer Students in Pathway Programs Students may be eligible for the commitment tuition rate if they are: Admitted to ASU as a resident, degree-seeking student, and; Enrolled in one of these partnership programs: o Maricopa-ASU Pathways Program (MAPP) o Transfer Admission Guarantee (TAG), or; o RN-BSN pathway program The commitment tuition rate is based on the semester the student enrolls for one of these pathway programs, if at the time of admission to ASU the student is in compliance with the pathway requirements. Upon expiration of the commitment period, students revert to paying the most recently approved tuition rate. The commitment ends upon the earlier of these circumstances: (1) expiration of the five-year commitment period determined at the time of pathway enrollment, up to a maximum of three years from initial enrollment at ASU, (2) upon graduation from ASU, or (3) withdrawal from the university. Note: Students admitted to ASU in accordance with transfer protocols other than these pathway programs will be billed for tuition in accordance with the policies applicable to transfer students. Readmission The commitment tuition rate is based upon the most recent semester of undergraduate degree admission or readmission. Students required to apply for readmission are assigned to a new tuition cohort and are billed for the commitment tuition rate applicable for the new cohort. The commitment tuition rate associated with the original semester of admission is not maintained under any circumstances, including military service, illness, or church mission, unless an official Leave of Absence is granted by the University Registrar's Office. Students must apply for a Leave of Absence to maintain their original semester of admission for purposes of assignment to a tuition cohort and determination of the commitment tuition rate. The commitment period is not extended by the Leave of Absence and the commitment tuition rate continues to increase. Expiration of Commitment Period Upon expiration of the commitment period students revert to paying the most recently approved tuition rate. The commitment period ends upon the earlier of the expiration of the commitment period determined at the time of admission, upon graduation, or upon application for admission or readmission. Students Admitted Prior to Summer 2008 Academic Catalog Archive 2013-2014 22 For undergraduate degree seeking resident students admitted prior to summer 2008 the commitment tuition rate is based upon fall 2007 tuition regardless of semester of admission. This initial tuition commitment tuition rate will remain in tact during the commitment period, and any increases in tuition will be based off this rate. Starting in fall 2009, the remaining commitment period [1] will be determined based upon the most recent semester of undergraduate degree admission or readmission and prior earned credits at the time of admission. For example, a student admitted as a sophomore fall 2006 is eligible for a remaining commitment of one year in fall 2009. Beginning in fall 2010, because the commitment period has expired, the student admitted as a sophomore in fall 2006 will pay the most recently approved tuition rate. Differential Tuition, Program Tuition and Other Fees The commitment tuition rate only applies to base undergraduate resident tuition. The tuition commitment does not apply to differential tuition, program tuition, mandatory registration fees, or any other charges assessed by ASU. Summer Session Tuition The commitment tuition rate is not applicable for summer registration. All students are billed at the same rate, which is equal to the most recently approved per credit hour rate. Special Nonresident Tuition Rates Students eligible for special nonresident tuition rates that are based upon resident tuition are not eligible for the commitment tuition rate. Nonresident students eligible for special tuition rates will be billed based upon the most recently approved tuition rate and are subject to all future tuition increases. Note: Continuation of the commitment tuition rate assumes no unusual levels of inflation and no substantial change in the levels of state support.

Instructor-initiated drops for non-attendance must be based upon concrete evidence of non-attendance and be signed by the Dean or Dean’s Designee in the college offering the course. The college will notify the student by mail at the student’s currently posted local address. Nothing in this policy contradicts any other policy regarding attendance, religious holidays, or the student’s responsibility to notify the instructor in case of absences. Note: Students should be aware that non-attendance will not automatically result in being dropped. Instructors have the right to exercise this option at their discretion. It is also the student’s responsibility to contact the instructor before the end of the first week of classes if absences during that period cannot be avoided. Withdrawal Policy Advising Course Withdrawal Admitted undergraduate students who have declared a major should contact an academic advisor in the college or school of their major for advising and for assistance in determining the catalog under which they will graduate. Exploratory/undeclared students should contact University College for academic advising. Many programs require academic advisement prior to registration for classes. After the drop/add period and up to September 11, 2013 for Session A, November 5, 2013 for Session B, and November 6, 2013 for Session C, a student may withdraw from any course with a grade of “W”. Withdrawals may be initiated online using My ASU or in person at any registration site. Courses with alternate begin and end dates may have an adjusted withdrawal schedule. Courses from which the student withdraws will remain on the student’s transcript with a grade of “W”. Any appropriate refunds are issued based on the published Refund Schedule and the date of the withdrawal. To determine whether you will be eligible for a refund after withdrawing, see the Refund Schedule on page 20. It is the student’s responsibility to initiate a withdrawal if unable to attend a class. Failure to do so will result in a grade of “E” being assigned for the class. Although students who do not attend class during the first week of a term may be administratively dropped from the class, such withdrawal is at the discretion of the instructor. In special circumstances, a medical withdrawal or academic record change maybe authorized by the Dean of an academic unit if the student petitions for the change and presents documentation of reasons for being unable to attend the class. Please note academic record changes can only be requested after the semester has ended. It is the student’s responsibility to petition for such change if appropriate. Students may visit MyASU to learn their current academic advising office assignment. For additional information regarding general academic advising for all ASU departments Visit http:// students.asu.edu/advising/directory Instructor-Initiated Drop Option The instructor of a course has full authority within departmental or other higher-level policies to decide whether or not class attendance is required. During the second week of classes in Fall or Spring, or the first four days of each Summer Session, the instructor can drop a student for non-attendance. In classes which are full, this will allow accommodation of other students requesting the class and help instructors avoid excessive Complete Withdrawal A student may withdraw from all of his or her classes (the student will no longer be enrolled in any classes for the specified semester) through the transaction deadline or the last day of classes for Academic Catalog Archive 2013-2014 50 Page 8 Arizona State University Registration, cont. any semester. A grade of “W” is awarded for each class from which the student withdraws. The complete withdrawal deadline is October 11, 2013 for Session A, and December 6, 2013 for Sessions B and C. Beginning the first date of the semester, undergraduate students are required to request a complete withdrawal in person. Making a complete withdrawal from the University is a difficult decision, and ASU has many resources in place to help. Because there may be serious academic and financial consequences to processing a complete withdrawal, you should view complete withdrawal as a final resort. You are encouraged to meet with your academic advisor to explore alternatives. Note: A student may not avoid any penalty for academic dishonesty by withdrawing from a course. A student may be reinstated to a course to receive a penalty of a reduced or failing grade, or XE. Remember: If you have financial aid or scholarships, be sure you understand minimum credit hour requirements for maintaining those awards. Military Withdrawal withdrew on or before the point which 60% of the semester has lapsed. If a return of aid is required, ASU returns the unearned portion of Title IV financial aid funds to the Federal Programs on behalf of the student. Any return of financial aid funds made by the University will be charged to the student’s University account. Payment to the University will be due on demand. Title IV funds include the Federal Pell Grant, the Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG), the Federal Perkins Loan, the Leveraging Educational Assistance Partnership (LEAP), the Academic Competitiveness Grant (ACG), the Science and Mathematics Access to Retain Talent Grant (SMART), the Federal Teach Grant, the Iraq and Afghanistan Service Grant, the Federal Direct Subsidized and Unsubsidized Student Loans and the Federal PLUS Loan. Federal Work Study earnings and non-Title IV aid are not included in this formula. However, the student may not continue to work under the Federal Work Study program after their official date of withdrawal. University Testing Requirements To completely withdraw due to military activation, immediately contact Veterans Services in the Pat Tillman Veterans Center. For the Tempe campus, call 480.965.7723; for the West campus call 602.543.8220, to determine whether the call to active duty qualifies for the “Military Activation” policy. For example, students reporting to “boot camp” or required training may not qualify for this policy. Students who qualify will receive some regulatory relief in the recalculation of financial aid and the calculation of tuition and fee charges. Students are also given options regarding their academic records, e.g., complete withdrawal, incomplete grades, etc. All new, transfer, or readmitted undergraduate students must meet one of the following testing requirements: ● Take the ACT English, SAT verbal examination, WritePlacer Plus section of the ACCUPLACER, TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language), IELTS (International English Language Testing System), or PTEA (Pearson Test of English Academic) and have scores submitted to ASU. ● Receive a score of 4 or 5 for the advanced placement examination in English offered by the College Entrance Examination Board and have scores submitted to ASU.  Take the CLEP College Composition exam, earning a score of 50 that qualifies for placement in ENG 102, and have scores submitted to ASU.  Have previously taken or be currently enrolled in WAC101, WAC107, ENG101, ENG102, ENG105, ENG107, or ENG108 at ASU. If the course was taken at ASU before 1980, contact the Records and Enrollment Services Office in SSV140 or at 480.965.3124, before registering for classes.  Transfer a course equivalent to ENG101, ENG102, ENG105, ENG107, or ENG108 with a grade of “C” (2.00) or higher. Financial Assistance Withdrawal Policy Circumstances may necessitate complete withdrawal from the University. For financial aid, a complete withdrawal from the full term or any individual session can affect financial aid eligibility. The outcome of complete withdrawal on your financial aid depends on when the complete withdrawal is initiated and the types of financial aid you received. In all cases, your financial aid must be recalculated. Official Complete Withdrawal Federal regulations require the recalculation of Title IV financial aid in cases where a student received financial aid and officially An official transcript showing the grade must be received by ASU.

Mathematics Course Placement Exams Arizona State University requires the Math Placement Test to assess a student's prerequisite knowledge for placement into several mathematics courses up to and including first semester calculus. The instrument used for testing is a powerful artificial- intelligence based assessment tool that zeros in on the strengths and weaknesses of a student's mathematical knowledge, reports its findings to the student and then, if necessary, provides the student with a learning environment for bringing this knowledge up to an appropriate level for course placement. All incoming students must complete the Math Placement Test prior to enrollment unless they have transferred an equivalent prerequisite course. The time limit to finish the assessment is 24 hours.

Residency Classification Residency (tuition) status is initially determined by the application for admission at the time a student applies to the University. Non-resident students who feel they may qualify for resident tuition status must file a petition for reclassification no later than the last day of regular registration. For general information about the requirements, consult the ASU General Catalog or the web at students.asu.edu/residency. Residency classification is a complex process and you are encouraged to petition early during the reclassification period. It is recommended that you submit the appropriate residency petition form along with your $50.00 non-refundable petition fee to the Residency Classification Office by the appropriate deadline date. Deadline for submitting a reclassification petition for Fall 2013 is August 28, 2013. Failure to petition by the last day of regular registration constitutes a waiver of the student’s rights for residency reclassification or appeal for the current semester. Citizenship or Lawful Presence Requirement Arizona law requires that students who are seeking consideration for in-state tuition status or aid that is funded in part or in whole by state money to provide verification of citizenship, permanent residency or other lawful immigration status. Most students will be able to be verified through automatic processes such as the financial aid application (FAFSA). Students choosing to go through the FAFSA process should be verified no later than the beginning of July for the Fall term, December for the Spring term and May for the summer term. If the FAFSA has not cleared the verification requirement by the recommended month it is highly possible that documentation is still required.

They are: 1. The right to inspect and review the student’s education records within 45 days of the day the University receives a request for access. Students should submit to the registrar, dean, head of the academic department, or other appropriate official, written requests that identify the record(s) they wish to inspect. The University official will make arrangements for access and notify the student of the time and place where the records may be inspected. If the records are not maintained by the University official to whom the request was submitted, that official shall advise the student of the correct official to whom the request should be addressed. Note: Students must provide photo identification in order to access their education records. 2. The right to request the amendment of the student’s education records that the student believes are inaccurate or misleading. Students who believe their record is inaccurate or misleading should write to the University official responsible for the record. Clearly identify the part of the record they want changed, and specify why it is inaccurate or misleading. If the University decides not to amend the record as requested by the student, the University will notify the student of the decision and advise the student of his or her right to a hearing about the request for amendment. Additional information about the hearing procedures will be provided to the student when notified of the right to a hearing. Note: FERPA does not address grade disputes or grievances which are pursued through other University and/or college procedures. 3. The right to consent to disclosures of personally identifiable information contained in the student’s education records, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent. One exception which permits disclosure without consent is disclosure to school officials with legitimate educational interest. School officials are administrators, faculty, professional staff, academic advisors, clerical or support employees, including ASU law enforcement unit personnel and ASU health staff, volunteers, a person or company with whom the University has contracted as its agent, acting with legitimate educational interest to provide a service instead of using University employees or officials (such as an attorney, auditor, collection agent, service provider); a person serving on the Board of Regents; staff in the Alumni Association and ASU Foundation offices, or a student serving on an official committee, such as a disciplinary or grievance committee, or assisting another school official in performing his or her tasks. Additional exception categories may be found in SSM 107-01: Release of Student Information which is located on the web at http://www.asu.edu/aad/manual/ssm/ssm107-01.html A school official has a legitimate educational interest if the interest in an education record is justified under one or more of the following conditions:  The information or records requested are relevant and necessary to accomplish some task or determination related to the legitimate educational interest of the student;  the official needs to review an education record in order to fulfill his or her professional responsibilities for the University;  the task or determination is an employment responsibility or a properly assigned subject for the inquirer’s determination and/or  the task or determination is consistent with the purpose for which the records, information, or data are maintained. Note: A parent of a dependent student may challenge denial of access to the dependent student’s record by producing the most current copy of Internal Revenue Form 1040. (Dependency is defined in Section 152 of the Internal Revenue Code.) If that form lists the student in question as a dependent, the parent Academic Catalog Archive 2013-2014 67 Arizona State University Page 25 University Policies, cont. will be required to sign an Affidavit of Dependency which affirms that the student is his/her tax dependent. The affidavit will be retained by the University Registrar’s Office and must be renewed each tax year. Upon receipt of these documents, the dependent student records will be made available to the parent as specified under FERPA. 4. The right to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education concerning alleged failures by Arizona State University to comply with the requirements of FERPA. Students are encouraged to first contact the University Registrar’s Administration Office at 480.965.7302.

The Act requires the annual distribution of the following information to students and employees. can be found at www.azleg.gov/arizonarevisedstatutes.asp? title=13 and a listing of Federal penalties can be found at www.justice.gov/dea/agency/penalties.htm. Sanctions will be imposed on a student who violates a Board of Regents’ or University drug or alcohol policy; those sanctions may include expulsion or suspension, and may also include the requirement that the student participate in a drug education program. Sanctions will be imposed on an employee who violates university drug or alcohol policies which may include termination of employment, progressive discipline, and may also include the requirement that the employee participate in a drug education program. Prohibition It is the goal and policy of Arizona State University (“ASU”) to provide a drug free environment for all University students and employees. To achieve this goal and to comply with federal law, ASU prohibits the unlawful sale, manufacture, distribution, dispensation, possession, and use of controlled substances on its property or as part of any of its activities. Every ASU student and employee must abide by the terms of this statement, abide by applicable policies of the Arizona Board of Regents and Arizona State University, and abide by local, state, and federal laws regarding the unlawful possession or distribution of illicit drugs and alcohol. ASU students and employees are subject to all applicable drug and alcohol policies, including policies set forth in the University’s Staff Personnel Policies and Procedures Manual, the Academic Affairs Policies and Procedures Manual, University Student Services Manuals, and the ASU Police Department Policies and Procedures Manual. The following drug and alcohol policies also apply to students and employees: the Arizona Board of Regents’ Code of Conduct and Student Code of Conduct and Arizona State University’s Policy regarding alcohol and other drugs. Sanctions Sanctions under federal, state, and local law for the unlawful possession or distribution of illicit drugs and alcohol are serious and can range from civil sanctions to criminal convictions including fines and imprisonment. A listing of Arizona penalties Health Risks A. Alcohol Alcoholic consumption causes a number of marked changes in behavior. Even low doses significantly impair the judgment and coordination required to drive a car safely, increasing the likelihood that the driver will be involved in an accident. Low to moderate doses of alcohol also increase the incidence of a variety of aggressive acts, including spouse and child abuse. Moderate to high doses of alcohol cause marked impairments in higher mental functions, severely altering a person’s ability to learn and remember information. Very high doses cause respiratory depression and death. If combined with other depressants of the central nervous system, much lower doses of alcohol will produce the effect just described. Repeated use of alcohol can lead to dependence. Sudden cessation of alcohol intake is likely to produce withdrawal symptoms, including severe anxiety, tremors, hallucinations, and convulsions. Alcohol withdrawal can be life threatening. Long-term consumption of large quantities of alcohol, particularly when combined with poor nutrition, can also lead to permanent damage to vital organs such as the brain and the liver. Mothers who drink alcohol during pregnancy may give birth to infants with fetal alcohol syndrome. These infants have irreversible physical abnormalities and mental retardation. In addition, research indicates that children of alcoholic parents are at greater risk than other youngsters of becoming alcoholics.

Welcome to the family! It's a big accomplishment to get accepted to a top tier university, like ASU. Be sure to complete these last few steps as soon as you can so nothing stands in your way as you start your new college chapter. Once you're admitted 1. Pay your enrollment deposit. Upon admission, first-time freshmen pay an enrollment deposit [1]. The deposit may be paid on My ASU [2]. 2. Join devil2devil on My ASU. Why wait for fall to start connecting with your classmates? Meet other new students, ask questions, win contests and find exclusive content in ASU's private social network: devil2devil. 3. Get your parents connected We invite your parents to join the Sun Devil community. Family members can access helpful resources, connect with other families and subscribe to updates at ASU's parent website. [3] 4.

Remaining steps post deposit 1. Customize Housing and Dining Preferences Now that you have submitted your enrollment deposit, you can customize your housing preferences. All freshmen are expected to live on campus in their Residential College, a comprehensive living and learning community that allows students to live with others who are pursuing similar academic disciplines. Residential Colleges provide students the opportunity to continue their learning outside of the classroom by connecting with the faculty and staff in the residential community, participating in peer group dialogues and engaging with academic support activities. Visit My ASU [7] to view and customize your housing and dining options based on your campus and academic major. Confirm your options early for a greater chance of receiving your living and dining preferences. If you have a potential roommate in mind who shares your academic program, you each must request the other as early as possible, so that we may have every opportunity to fulfill your request. Be sure you include each other’s name, ASU ID number, and the same hall and Residential College preferences. Keep in mind, roommate requests are subject to space availability and are not guaranteed. If you are planning to live at home with your parents or have other special circumstances that prevent you from living on campus, you must request an on-campus housing exception. Read more about housing at ASU [8]. 2. Sign up for Orientation and Register for Classes Academic Catalog Archive 2013-2014 82 ASU Orientation [9] is required for freshmen.

Please keep in mind that the applicability of a specific transfer course toward an ASU degree program depends on the requirements of the department, division, college or school in which you are enrolled at ASU. Read How credits transfer to ASU below to learn what types of credit are and are not accepted by ASU, how to earn credit by exam and more. The Transfer Credit Guide [1] is a helpful online tool that allows you to search for ASU course equivalencies. If a specific course is not found, then you can request a transfer course evaluation. How credits transfer to ASU You must have your official transcripts sent from the issuing institution directly to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions in order for courses to be officially evaluated and transferred to Arizona State University (see below for address). ASU applies the following general standards for transferring credit from another institution. • ASU accepts college level (not remedial) courses in which you have earned a grade of C (4.00="A") or better from regionally accredited institutions. • A maximum of 64 semester hours of credit will be accepted as lower-division credit when transferred from a regionally accredited community, junior or two-year college, with the exception of some special programs. • Some ASU colleges/schools may not accept credit for courses that are evaluated with nontraditional grading systems (e.g, pass/fail). • Acceptable academic credits earned at other institutions that are based on a different unit of credit than the one prescribed by the Arizona Board of Regents are subject to conversion before being transferred to ASU. All ASU students must meet graduation requirements (university, college, major and general studies requirements) in order to earn a bachelor's degree. • The ASU college of your major determines how transfer courses fulfill the degree requirements of your ASU major. You should review the degree requirements of the program into which you intend to transfer and confer with an academic advisor about your credits and how they will apply to your degree program. (Search ASU's 250+ academic programs and read program requirements [2].) • Grades and honor points that you earned at other colleges and universities are considered for admission (see below for honorably discharged veterans' exception), but your ASU cumulative grade point average (GPA) is based solely upon course work taken at ASU. ASU will NOT accept the following types of credit: • • • • • Courses in which you earned a grade below “C-” Credit awarded by postsecondary institutions in the U.S. that lack candidate status or accreditation by a regional accrediting association Credit awarded by postsecondary institutions for life experience Credit awarded by postsecondary institutions for courses taken at non-collegiate institutions (e.g., governmental agencies, corporations, industrial firms, etc.) Credit awarded by postsecondary institutions for non-credit courses, workshops and seminars offered by other postsecondary institutions as part of continuing education programs Where to send transcripts Official transcripts must be mailed or sent electronically directly to Undergraduate Admissions by the records office of the issuing institution(s). ASU does not accept transcripts sent or carried by hand by the applicants themselves or transmitted by fax.

In order for ASU to determine whether you meet admission requirements, we must evaluate your entire academic history including course work completed at each institution attended. 14. What prerequisites do I need to complete before transferring to ASU? There are no prerequisites required to be admitted to ASU, unless you have fewer than 24 transferable credits. Students with less than 24 transferable credits are required to meet freshman admission requirements [12], including aptitude and competency requirements. 15. Can I live on campus as a transfer student? Yes, ASU has housing devoted specifically to upper-division students, and strongly encourage all students to live on campus their first year at ASU. For more information, refer to the University Housing website [13]. Academic Catalog Archive 2013-2014 89 There is also a variety of off-campus housing options in close proximity to ASU’s campuses.

If attending a CA community college, is the IGETC/ CSU GE required for transfer? The IGETC/CSU GE is not a requirement for admission to ASU. It is optional whether a California community college student chooses to transfer in with their general education courses completed or not. Completing either GE pattern and getting certified by your community college will, however, satisfy many of the General Studies requirements at ASU. 2. What does it mean to get IGETC/CSU GE certified? Getting certified means you have completed all General Education requirements at your CA community college. If you have confirmed with your community college counselor that you are eligible for the certification, ASU will require that you submit the official certification along with your official transcripts to the Undergraduate Admissions Office. 3. Currently, I don't meet the WUE admissions requirements. Should I wait to apply? No. Even though you may not currently qualify for WUE, we will always re-evaluate your admission to the program if you currently have courses in progress and submit your last and final transcripts. 4. I live in California but would like to meet with an ASU representative to discuss the transfer process. Is there anyone I can speak to in person? Most certainly! ASU representatives will be throughout the state of California attending college transfer fairs and hosting various visits at California community colleges.

Academic Renewal Academic renewal is a university policy administered to recalculate the cumulative ASU GPA of an undergraduate student who: 1. Is pursuing his/her first undergraduate degree and has not previously received an academic renewal; and 2. Has a cumulative ASU GPA below 2.0 (individual colleges may elect to consider applications for students whose GPA is a 2.0 or higher); and 3. Is readmitted to a degree program after an absence of at least five continuous calendar years (including summer sessions). Courses (including transfer credits) completed before the five-year absence with a grade “C” (2.00) or higher was earned are treated in the same manner as if all the credits were transfer credits, up to a maximum of 60 credit hours. Academic Catalog Archive 2013-2014 98 The cumulative GPA is based only on credits earned subsequent to the student's reentry. Graduation requirements for resident credit hours and GPA must be fulfilled after the academic renewal. Graduation requirements for academic recognition (resident credit hours and GPA) must also be fulfilled after the academic renewal. Courses completed before and after the academic renewal remain on the transcript and may be considered when students apply for undergraduate professional or graduate programs. A request for academic renewal follows this procedure: 1. 2. 3. 4. Students interested in academic renewal must fill out the Application for Academic Renewal and submit the form to the Dean’s Office in the college of your major. The Application for Academic Renewal may be submitted immediately upon readmission but must be submitted no later than the start of the third semester after readmission. The Dean’s Office specifies in advance a minimum of 12 semester hours required for completion. When the approved credits are completed with a cumulative GPA of 2.50 or higher, and no grade lower than "C" (2.00) in each course, the Dean’s Office will forward the Application for Academic Renewal to the University Registrar's Office for processing. Only readmission 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 a cumulative ASU GPA below 2.00 and have been absent from ASU 5 consecutive calendar years or more are eligible to petition for academic renewal. Individual colleges may elect to entertain petitions for academic renewal from students with ASU GPAs above 2.00. College standards committees have final authorization on academic renewal petitions.

Source URL: http://catalog.asu.edu/attendance Arizona General Education Curriculum (AGEC) The Arizona public community colleges and universities have agreed upon a common structure for a general education core. This curriculum provides students attending any Arizona public community college with the opportunity to build a general education program that is transferable to any other state institution without loss of credit. This common agreement is called the Arizona General Education Curriculum. The AGEC is composed of 35 semester hours of lower-division general education course work in which a student may prepare for transfer. The AGEC has three forms: AGEC-A, AGEC-B and AGEC-S. Refer to http://www.aztransfer.com/AGECReqs [1] for a detailed description of each AGEC. Community colleges are responsible for certifying the date of completion of the AGEC on the official institutional transcripts. Completion of the appropriate AGEC will fulfill university lower-division general education requirements of the baccalaureate degree with which the AGEC articulates. Students completing the AGEC will still be required to fulfill lower-division program requirements and prerequisites within their college and major and minor area of study. To complete a degree program most efficiently, students should select courses that concurrently satisfy AGEC and major requirements. Completion of any AGEC guarantees admission to the university provided that a GPA of 2.00 (for Arizona residents) or 2.50 (for nonresidents) has been achieved. AGEC completion, however, does not guarantee admission to any specific university program. Many majors (e.g., architecture, engineering, business, the fine and creative arts or health professions) have significant prerequisites or program requirements that must be completed before a student may be admitted to upper-division course work. Community college students who are undecided about which of the universities they plan to attend or what program of study they intend to pursue are advised to explore educational options while they complete the AGEC. In all cases, students have the responsibility for selecting general education course work that is relevant to the requirements of their intended major and degree. Students who complete both the AGEC and an approved associate's degree will be assigned junior class standing by the state universities. Junior class standing is based on the number of semester credits a student has earned and does not necessarily indicate the remaining number of semester credits needed to complete degree requirements. Course prerequisites, major requirements and upper-division requirements continue to be specified by each university. Appropriate sequencing of courses and timely completion of course prerequisites are essential to ensure efficient progress toward a baccalaureate degree. Students who have identified the university they plan to attend or a major area of study are advised to fulfill requirements and prerequisites identified by these programs through transfer guides or curriculum check sheets provided by the state universities. The AGEC does not replace articulation agreements developed to enhance the transfer process between specific institutions. Nor does the AGEC eliminate the possibility that students who have identified the university they plan to attend and a major area of study will follow transfer guides provided by the state universities. Source URL: https://catalog.asu.edu/agec Links: [1] http://www.aztransfer.com/AGECReqs Course Load and Concurrent Enrollment Course A minimum full-time course load for an undergraduate student is 12 credit hours. The maximum course load for which a student may register is 18 credit hours (with the exception of a 19-hour maximum for students enrolled in the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering and College of Technology and Innovation), with a maximum of nine credit hours in each A or B session. A student wishing to register for more than the maximum must petition the standards committee of the college in which the student is enrolled and must obtain an approved overload before registration. Academic Catalog Archive 2013-2014 102 Summer Session Semester Hour Load The summer session credit hour load limit is seven credit hours for each six-week session and nine credit hours for the eight-week session, and the load limit may not exceed a total of 14 credit hours for any combination of sessions. Graduate Credits Earned by Undergraduate Students ASU undergraduate students who have achieved senior status (cannot be postbaccalaureate) with a cumulative GPA of 3.00 or higher may count up to nine credit hours of graduate-level course work toward their graduate degree at ASU (preadmission credit hours). Only graduate courses with a grade of "B" (3.00) or higher may be included on a graduate plan of study. Preadmission graduate courses cannot be used to meet any baccalaureate graduation requirements. Before registering for these courses, the student must submit a petition through their academic unit. Permission to take a preadmission graduate course does not guarantee admission to a graduate degree program or that the course may be used toward graduate degree requirements. Use of Graduate Course Credit by Undergraduates Graduate course credit earned by an undergraduate student that is used to fulfill requirements for an undergraduate degree program cannot also be used in a graduate degree program unless the student is enrolled in an approved 4+1 program. Students must contact their advisor before enrolling in a graduate course they wish to use toward a future graduate program at ASU. Concurrent Enrollment Provided that the other institution's regulations concerning enrollment, graduation requirements and transfer of credits are not violated, a student may enroll in classes at other institutions or in independent learning courses while enrolled at ASU. However, the student is urged to seek advising before concurrent enrollment to assure orderly progress toward a degree. If total credits exceed the maximum course load, prior permission must be granted by the college standards committee. Enrollment Verification Guidelines The registrar is responsible for verifying enrollment, according to general guidelines; see enrollment verification [1]. Source URL: https://catalog.asu.edu/course_load Links: [1] http://students.asu.edu/enrollment-verification Credit by Examination Credit by Examination Students may receive credit for an ASU course by taking an examination in place of the actual course. Some exams can be taken prior to admission to ASU. Information is provided below for each type of exam, the courses that are equivalent and other conditions that may apply to credit being awarded. • • • • • • A student may earn no more than 60 hours of credit by examination for any or all programs, including ASU comprehensive and proficiency exams. Credit will not be awarded for any course in which the student has been given credit from any educational institution. Credit will not be granted for a course taken at an educational institution after credit by examination has been awarded. Exception: Students who take the advanced placement exams, however, may choose either to have the credit earned by advanced placement kept in their cumulative university hours, or to complete the ASU course and have the credit and grade instead, regardless of in which order the test or course are taken. (See the advanced placement section, below, for additional details on the exam and its equivalent scores.) Credit may not be received for a lower-level or prerequisite course when credit has already been received in a higher-level course within the same field. Only credit earned by comprehensive examination will count toward the resident credit requirement for graduation. Credit by exam is awarded based on the date the exam was taken. Students who take the exam during the current catalog year (August 2013 – July 2014) will earn credit based on the credit equivalency found in the current catalog. If the test was Academic Catalog Archive 2013-2014 103 taken in a prior academic year, please refer to the catalog for that year or search the Transfer Credit Guide [1] for more information. College-level Examination Program (CLEP) [2] can be taken before or during enrollment at ASU. Advanced Placement (AP) [3] is taken during secondary school or before enrollment at ASU. DANTES or DSST(Defense Activity for Nontraditional Education Support Subject Standardized Test) [4] is taken by military or approved government personnel before or during enrollment at ASU. International Baccalaureate (IB) diploma/certificate [5] is earned by students of an International Baccalaureate®-approved school before enrollment at ASU. Comprehensive examinations [6] can be taken by current ASU students. Proficiency examinations [7] can be taken by current ASU students. For information about placement testing for mathematics and English classes prior to orientation, please refer to the placement and testing requirements [8] in the ASU Catalog. College-Level Examination Program (CLEP) Students who have taken a College-Level Examination of the College Entrance Examination Board may receive university credit. The table of CLEP credit applies to all students enrolled in the university for the first time in August 1975 and any student enrolling thereafter. CLEP examination credit is not given where it duplicates credit previously earned by the student at the university or accepted by the university for work done elsewhere. All examinations are given monthly by University Testing and Scanning Services [9]. The General Studies requirement in natural science (SQ and SG) and literacy and critical inquiry (L) are not satisfied by CLEP. There is no limit to the number of CLEP credits that can be used to fulfill the other parts of the General Studies requirement. A student who has received ASU credit for a course due to Special Programs credit may not duplicate the credit by enrolling in the same class for credit at ASU or transferring it to another institution. Subject Examinations To obtain credit or placement for all subject exams except English, French, German, and Spanish, a student must receive a score of 50 (Computer Based Testing [CBT] scale) or higher. To obtain credit for College Composition, a student must receive a standard score of 610 (1978 scale), 500 (1986 scale), or 50 (CBT scale). For test scores for French, German, and Spanish, see the CLEP credit table, below. All equivalency is subject to future review and possible catalog change.

Comprehensive Examinations A comprehensive examination is intended to permit a student to establish academic credit in a field in which the student has gained experience or competence equivalent to an established university course. Applications are given only for courses listed in the current catalog and only for courses in which a comprehensive examination can serve as a satisfactory measure of accomplishment. A number of restrictions apply. To be eligible to apply to take a comprehensive examination to establish undergraduate course equivalence, a student must: 1. 2. 3. have earned not more than 60 semester hours of credit through comprehensive, CLEP, international baccalaureate and advanced placement examinations have earned no credit for a duplicate course have earned no credit for a course for which this course is a prerequisite The decision on the suitability of course material for a comprehensive examination, the development of a comprehensive examination and the administration of an examination are strictly departmental functions. An application is for one course only. The student should complete an application form with the number, title and number of semester hours for the course. When completed, the application must be approved by the student’s advisor and the chair of the department responsible for offering the course. The student must then pay the stated fee for such examinations at cashiering services. The receipt must be taken to the departmental office. The examination is prepared by the instructor who normally conducts the course, and it is comprehensive in nature and scope. The instructor and other experts designated by the chair grade the examination, using letter grades “A+,” “A,” “A-,” “B+,” “B,” “B-,” “C+,” “C,” “D” or “E.” If the grade is “C” or higher, a mark of “Y” is entered on the student’s permanent record; otherwise, no entry is Academic Catalog Archive 2013-2014 109 made. Credit by examination is indicated as such on the record. The student is notified by mail of the result of the examination. In cases of failure (“D” or “E”), the student is not given an opportunity to repeat the examination. A student pursuing a second baccalaureate degree may not receive credit by comprehensive examination, but with prior approval of the college, the student may use the examination to waive a course requirement if a grade of “C” or higher is earned. Proficiency Examinations Proficiency examinations and auditions are given: 1. 2. 3. to waive a course requirement to validate certain transfer credits in professional programs to determine a student’s ability in a field where competence is an important consideration Detailed information may be obtained from the dean’s office of the college in which the student is registered.

Example: WP Carey Academic Good Standing. Use college name in policy title to differentiate it from University policy. University Academic Probation: [3] An undergraduate student with a Cumulative GPA that has dropped below a 2.0 at the end of semester (fall or spring), is placed on University Academic Probation. • Colleges may establish specific criteria for their own Academic Probation status, to be defined as "College Name" Academic Probation. Example: Fulton Schools of Engineering Academic Probation University Continuing Academic Probation: [3] A student is said to be on University Continuing Academic Probation each semester (fall or spring) that student (previously on University Academic Probation) earns a semester GPA above a 2.0, but remains below a Cumulative GPA of 2.0. • Colleges may establish individual time limits for Continuing Academic Probation, to be defined as "College Name" Continuing Academic Probation. Ineligible: [4] A student who is in University Academic Good Standing, but is ineligible to remain in their major based on college specific academic requirements. To be phased out for 14-15 with new tracking requirements and University Academic Good Standing policies. Academic Catalog Archive 2013-2014 110 Disqualified: [5] A student on University Academic Probation who does not earn a semester (fall or spring) GPA of 2.0 or greater. Students who are disqualified are not permitted to enroll at ASU in any subsequent fall or spring semester. Satisfactory Progress: [6] This term is used in different ways for students with regards to financial aid, sponsored international programs, athletics and with regards to receiving veteran’s benefits. It is a complex calculation which is major and situation specific. This term should not be utilized to refer to Academic Standing. Progression: [6] This term is used to refer to how a student meets milestones and degree requirements to enable movement towards achieving degree completion. This term should not be utilized to refer to Academic Standing. Reinstatement: [7] A student who has previously been academically disqualified and seeks to return either for a fall or spring semester a) immediately or b) after a period of absence and has met college admissions standards. Quick Re-entry: [8] Undergraduate degree seeking students who previously attended ASU but have not been enrolled at ASU for one or two consecutive fall or spring semesters are eligible to return through "Quick Re-entry." Students do not need to submit a new application or application fee. Readmitted: [8] Students not eligible for "Quick Re-entry" (i.e., because they have not been enrolled at ASU for three or more semesters, completed their academic program or were academically disqualified), must apply for readmission and submit applicable fees. An applicant for readmission must have an ASU GPA of 2.0 or higher, depending on the ASU school or college. Off Track: A student who has not met one or more critical requirements as stated in terms 1-4 of their major map in a given fall or spring semester. Twice Off Track: A student who has not met one or more critical requirements as stated in terms 1-4 of their major map in two consecutive fall or spring semesters. On Track: A student who has met all critical requirements identified in terms 1-4 of the major map in the current term and previous terms against which they are being evaluated (as identified in the major map). On Track to Graduation: A student who has met all necessary requirements (terms 5-8) in the current term and necessary or critical requirements in previous terms against which they are being evaluated (as identified in the major map). Off Track to Graduation: A student who has not met one or more necessary requirements (terms 5-8) as stated in their major map in a given fall or spring semester. Critical Requirement: [9] As identified on the major map, as a curricular or non-curricular degree requirement that the faculty have identified as critical predictors of success in a specific major. Critical requirements can be courses, grades, GPAs or non-curricular requirements such as submitting a fingerprint clearance card. Critical Requirements appear in terms 1-4. Necessary Requirement: As identified on the major map, as a curricular or non-curricular degree requirement that the faculty have identified as necessary for timely completion of degree requirements. Necessary requirements appear in terms 5-8. 8 Semester Tracking: The evaluation of how completed courses meet degree requirements in a specific term. Includes both critical and necessary courses. Also refers to the student application for viewing all major map requirements and progression towards meeting those requirements (personalized major map). Academic Catalog Archive 2013-2014 111 eAdvisor: [10] A suite of tools used to monitor student progression towards degree completion including Degree Search, major maps and the tracking of critical and necessary requirements (8 Semester Tracking application). Milestones: A curricular or non-curricular requirement that needs to be completed by a specific point in time. Examples: portfolio review or audition. Concurrent Degree: [11] Internal to the university, two degrees, same level, same time, some shared courses. For undergraduate degrees, students must complete a minimum of 150 total hours (120 for the first degree and a separate and distinct additional 30 hours for the second degree). Concurrent degrees can either be preapproved combinations or unique combinations added by the student via petition. Examples: JD/PhD or BS/BSE. Two diplomas are awarded. Multiple Concentration: Internal to the university, one degree awarded, same level, same time, some shared courses. For undergraduate degrees with multiple concentrations, students may not share coursework between the core concentration curricula. Multiple concentrations are typically added by petition. Example: Business (Global Leadership), BA and Business (Sustainability), BA. Joint Degrees: ASU does not offer a joint degree. This would be a “joint” offering with another university where both universities would issue transcripts and diplomas. Dual Degree: An offering that is both internal and external to ASU. The student pursues two degrees simultaneously, one with ASU and one with an external institution. Example: ASU and Mayo Clinic. Accelerated bachelors/masters (4 + 1) [12] The 4+1 accelerated bachelor’s and master’s degrees are designed by the academic units to provide selected high-achieving undergraduate students with the opportunity to combine advanced undergraduate course work with graduate courses work to accelerate graduate degree completion. These programs allow accelerated students to obtain a bachelor’s and master’s degree within five years. These programs are preapproved combinations and are internal to ASU. Accelerated bachelors/masters (3 +2): A preapproved pathway to achieving a bachelor’s degree and a graduate level degree in five years. These are pre-established relationships, typically with international institutions.

Students who fail to meet at least one of these requirements are not allowed to register for any course the following semester: • Take the ACT English or SAT verbal examination, and have scores submitted to ASU. Academic Catalog Archive 2013-2014 112 • • • • • Receive a score of four or five for the advanced placement examination in English offered by the College Entrance Examination Board, and have scores submitted to ASU. Take the CLEP general examination in College Composition, earning a score that qualifies for equivalency with ENG 101, and have scores submitted to ASU. Have previously taken ENG 101, 102, 105, 107 or 108 at ASU; or have previously earned a grade of "Y;" or be currently enrolled in WAC 101 or 107 at ASU. If the course was taken before 1980, contact the recording section, in SSV 142, before registering for classes. Transfer a course equivalent to ENG 101, 102, 105, 107 or 108 with a grade of "C" (2.00) or higher. An official transcript showing the grade must be received at ASU. If a student transfers an equivalent composition course from a public Arizona community college or university or an articulated equivalent course from another institution, the equivalency is automatically posted and the student need not take further action. A student transferring a nonarticulated composition course from any other college or university may be required to submit documentation to determine equivalency of the courses. After consultation with an advisor, if evaluation is necessary, the student should submit a request for evaluation through the ASU Transfer Credit Guide [1]. An international student whose native language is not English must take ENG 107 (or WAC 107 followed by ENG 107 the second semester) in the first semester at ASU, unless they have taken and transferred an equivalent composition course from a college or university in the U.S. Such a course must be evaluated for equivalency through the ASU Transfer Credit Guide [1]. Admitted ASU students who have not sent official ACT or SAT scores to ASU may need to take the WritePlacer section of the ACCUPLACER placement test [2] for placement into a first-year English composition course. Math Placement ASU requires all incoming freshmen to complete the ASU mathematics placement test [3] for mathematics prior to orientation, in order to determine the appropriate math course for enrollment.

Class Standing Student Hours Earned Freshman 24 or fewer semester hours earned Sophomore 25 to 55 semester hours earned Junior 56 to 86 semester hours earned Academic Catalog Archive 2013-2014 113 Senior 87 or more semester hours earned Graduate bachelor’s from accredited institution Academic Good Standing For the purpose of retention, academic good standing for degree-seeking students is defined as a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.00. This standard is in effect for all students, regardless of catalog year, beginning in fall 2013. 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. Students on academic probation must meet with an academic success specialist to discuss academic success strategies for the subsequent semester and will be required to take UNI 220 Academic Refresher. In addition, students who have fewer than 24 credit hours will be required to participate in the ASU Pathway for Achieving Student Success Program. Students who successfully complete UNI 220 and participate in the PASS program will get an additional semester of academic probation before being disqualified. More information on the PASS program can be found here: https://studentsuccess.asu.edu/pass [1]. To transfer from one college to another within the university or to be eligible for readmission, a student must have an ASU GPA of 2.00 or higher. The GPA determining good standing is 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 this catalog or contact the college deans’ offices for statements regarding college retention standards. Dean’s List Undergraduate students who earn 12 or more graded semester hours (“A+,” “A,” “A-,” “B+,” “B,” “B-,” “C+,” “C,” “D” or “E”) during a semester in residence at ASU with a GPA of 3.50 or higher are eligible for the Dean’s List. A notation regarding Dean’s List achievement appears on the unofficial transcript. Satisfactory Academic Progress The university is required to publish and enforce standards of satisfactory academic progress for certain students (e.g., student athletes, students receiving financial aid and students receiving veterans benefits). Certification of satisfactory progress for student athletes is verified by the academic advisor and the dean’s designee for certifying satisfactory progress. Certification of satisfactory progress for students receiving financial aid or veterans benefits is verified by Student Financial Assistance or the Veterans Services offices, respectively. Students should contact their advisors or the appropriate office for additional information on satisfactory progress requirements. Probation A student’s college assumes responsibility for enforcing academic standards and may place on probation any student who has failed to maintain good standing as previously defined. For purposes of probation and retention, an individual college may set higher GPA standards. A student on academic probation is required to observe any rules or limitations the college may impose as a condition for retention. Ineligible A student who is placed on ineligible status at the end of a semester is considered ineligible to continue in the college or school at the end of the following semester, even if the student meets ASU good standing requirements but not the conditions imposed for retention by the college or school. At the close of the semester, a student deemed ineligible will receive from the college or school a letter that will outline options available for continuing at ASU in another college. Ineligibility is exercised at the discretion of the college. An ineligible student is notified by the dean of the college and is not allowed to register in a fall or spring semester at the university, unless arrangements are made to transfer to another college. A student who has already registered for a future semester will be withdrawn from classes. An ineligible student who does not change to a different Academic Catalog Archive 2013-2014 114 major may not attend ASU. A student who is ineligible may apply for reinstatement to the college standards committee. An ineligible student may not attend ASU as a nondegree student. Disqualification A student who is placed on probation at the end of a semester is subject to disqualification by the college or school 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 or school. A disqualified student is notified by the dean of the college and is not allowed to register in a fall or spring semester at the university. If the student has already registered for a future fall or spring semester, the registration is canceled. A student who has been disqualified may apply for reinstatement to the college standards committee. A disqualified student may not attend as a nondegree student. If a disqualified student elects to attend another university, any credits earned there will not affect the ASU cumulative GPA. A course repeated elsewhere will not result in a replacement of a grade earned at ASU. Disqualified students must consult with an academic advisor to determine eligibility to attend ASU in the summer session, to raise the ASU cumulative GPA. Reinstatement A disqualified or ineligible student who has skipped a fall or spring semester must follow the procedures for readmission. See readmission to the university [2]. A disqualified or ineligible student who has not skipped a semester may submit an application for reinstatement to the college of his or her major. If the student wishes to transfer to a different college, he or she may submit an application for reinstatement to the college into which he or she wishes to transfer. An ineligible student who does not skip a fall or spring semester must follow the ineligible procedures. See ineligible status. Academic Integrity Find out more about academic integrity [3]. Source URL: https://catalog.asu.edu/retention_standing Links: [1] https://studentsuccess.asu.edu/pass [2] http://students.asu.edu/readmission [3] http://provost.asu.edu/academicintegrity Academic Integrity Definition What is a violation of the academic integrity policy? The ASU student academic integrity policy [1] lists violations in detail. These violations fall into five broad areas that include but are not limited to: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Cheating on an academic evaluation or assignment. Plagiarizing. Academic deceit, such as fabricating data or information. Aiding academic integrity policy violations and inappropriately collaborating. Falsifying academic records. What is not a violation of the academic integrity policy? Not all inappropriate behavior in the academic setting is an academic integrity policy violation. Student Code of Conduct Academic Catalog Archive 2013-2014 115 Violations of the ASU Student Code of Conduct, other than the provision concerning academic dishonesty, are more generally considered inappropriate behavior. The Office of Student Rights and Responsibilities [2] reviews and sanctions these matters. If a student violates both the academic integrity provision and additional provisions of the Student Code of Conduct, both the college and the Office of Student Rights and Responsibilities will review the matter. Each independently makes determinations concerning violations and appropriate sanctions. Research For graduate students and undergraduates involved in research, there can be overlapping areas between Academic Integrity Policy violations, responsible conduct of research and research misconduct. The five areas listed above describe the kinds of Academic Integrity Policy violations and are handled under the ASU Student Academic Integrity Policy by faculty members, colleges and the provost. If a student is working on a federally funded research project, some of these items may also be considered misconduct in research [3]. Misconduct is defined as: Fabrication, falsification, plagiarism and other practices that seriously deviate from those that are commonly accepted within the academic community for proposing, conducting or reporting research. Instances of honest error and honest differences in interpretations or judgments of data are not considered misconduct. (From RSP 004: Definitions [4]) At ASU, the Office of the Associate Vice President of Research handles misconduct in research. A student who violates both ASU’s Misconduct in Research Policy and Student Academic Integrity Policy will be reviewed by both the college and the Office of Knowledge Enterprise Development [5]. Each independently makes determinations concerning violations and appropriate sanctions. In addition, some actions might be considered violations of the norms of responsible conduct of research, but not Academic Integrity Policy violations or misconduct in research. Many of these incidents fall into the general category of “collaborator disputes.” For example, if a doctoral graduate of ASU continued a line of research begun at ASU in a new lab external to ASU, and the ASU mentor objected, generally speaking the matter would be addressed as a collaborator dispute, rather than as an Academic Integrity Policy violation or misconduct in research. Many conflicts over appropriate authorship credit on publications also fall into this area.

A student may be found to have engaged in academic dishonesty if, in connection with any Academic Evaluation or academic or research assignment (including a paid research position), he or she: A. Engages in any form of academic deceit; B. Refers to materials or sources or uses devices (e.g., computer disks, audio recorders, camera phones, text messages, crib sheets, calculators, solution manuals, materials from previous classes, or commercial research services) not authorized by the instructor for use during the Academic Evaluation or assignment; C. Possesses, reviews, buys, sells, obtains, or uses, without appropriate authorization, any materials intended to be used for an Academic Evaluation or assignment in advance of its administration; D. Acts as a substitute for another person in any Academic Evaluation or assignment; E. Uses a substitute in any Academic Evaluation or assignment; F. Depends on the aid of others, including other students or tutors, in connection with any Academic Evaluation or assignment to the extent that the work is not representative of the student's abilities; G. Provides inappropriate aid to another person in connection with any Academic Evaluation or assignment, including the unauthorized use of camera phones, text messages, photocopies, notes or other means to copy or photograph materials used or intended for Academic Evaluation; H. Engages in Plagiarism; Academic Catalog Archive 2013-2014 116 I. J. Uses materials from the Internet or any other source without full and appropriate attribution; Permits his or her work to be submitted by another person in connection with any Academic Evaluation or assignment, without authorization; K. Claims credit for or submits work done by another; L. Signs an attendance sheet for another student, allows another student to sign on the student's behalf, or otherwise participates in gaining credit for attendance for oneself or another without actually attending; M. Falsifying or misrepresenting hours or activities in relationship to an internship, externship, field experience, clinical activity or similar activity; or N. Attempts to influence or change any Academic Evaluation, assignment or academic record for reasons having no relevance to academic achievement. Source URL: https://provost.asu.edu/academicintegrity/policy/StudentObligations Allegations of Academic Dishonesty This policy is not intended to address differences of opinion over grades issued by an instructor exercising good faith and professional judgment regarding a student's work. Before any action is taken under this Policy that may result in the withdrawal, suspension or expulsion of an international student, both the student and the academic program are advised to consult with the ASU International Student Office. These procedures are designed to encourage a fair and appropriate response to allegations of academic dishonesty. They may be modified in individual cases, so long as the student is provided an opportunity to respond to allegations of academic dishonesty within a reasonable time after those allegations have been made. An Advisor may accompany the student at any point in the process. The Advisor will not be permitted to participate directly or speak for the student, but may be present during meetings and hearings. A. Complaint. a. Anyone with a good faith basis for believing that a student has violated this policy may report the alleged violation to the responsible instructor, chair, dean, director or designee. The person who pursues the allegation is called the "Initiator" in this policy. If for any reason, an Initiator is unable or unwilling to continue in that role, another university representative may continue as Initiator. b. An individual who has received an allegation may decide not to initiate a complaint. This decision will not prevent another person from becoming the Initiator. B. Response to Complaint. a. An instructor who believes that a student has violated this policy in a class for which the instructor is responsible may assign any of the following sanctions: i. a reduced grade for an assignment, or ii. a reduced grade for the course. C. If the instructor wants to recommend another sanction set forth in Section IV, including an XE grade, the instructor must forward that recommendation for review by the College/School Board and approval by the Dean, Director or designee. The student and the instructor will be provided an opportunity to provide information to the College/School Board as part of its review. D. At any time, the student and the Initiator may propose a resolution, but the Dean, Director, or designee, may choose to pursue the case on behalf of the University. E. Information regarding the allegation or resolution may be provided to appropriate university representatives. F. If the Initiator and the student are unable to agree on resolution, then the student, the Initiator, or a representative of the Dean or Director may submit the matter to the Dean, Director or designee of the College/School in which the alleged academic dishonesty occurred for review by the College/School Board. G. After a formal request for review has been filed, the Student may remain in class or in the program until the appeal has been resolved. The student will not be given a refund, however, if the student is not successful in the appeal and the decision is made to remove the student from the class, program or university. H. If the matter is not submitted by the student to the Dean, Director or designee for review within 10 days following the time the student is accused of academic dishonesty, the decision or recommendation of the instructor becomes final. If the instructor has submitted a request for an XE or any other sanction to the Dean, Director or designee, and the student has not requested review within 10 days of receiving notice of this request, the Dean, Director, or designee may enter a decision on the request. Only if the decision includes suspension or expulsion from the university will the student be able to request further review. Source URL: https://provost.asu.edu/academicintegrity/policy/AllegationsofAcademicDishonesty Academic Catalog Archive 2013-2014 117 Review by College/School Board A. Within 10 days after the Student receives a reduced or "XE" grade, or other notice of the alleged academic dishonesty, the Student may submit a written statement to the Dean requesting review of the allegation, the sanction or the proposed sanction by the College/School Board. For the purpose of calculating the time for submitting a matter for review, the 10 day period is counted to include only days that fall within the regular fall or spring semester and do not include the summer sessions or intersession. The Dean may appoint an ad hoc board to conduct the review or may use a standing board. The review will take place during the regular fall or spring semester, unless the parties agree otherwise. B. These procedures should guide the review process, but may be altered by the Chair of the College/School Board in consultation with the Office of General Counsel. C. The Student statement should describe the alleged academic dishonesty, including a factual narrative of events and the dates and times of occurrences and any sanction or proposed sanction. The statement should also include the names of persons having information about relevant circumstances or events, the general nature and description of all evidence, and should be signed by the Student. D. If the Student submits a request for review at the end of a semester, or during the last semester of enrollment, the course grade may be withheld for a reasonable period of time (normally not to exceed six months) until the matter is decided. In situations involving the student's last semester before graduation, the degree may be withheld pending the outcome of the hearing. If a grade or degree will be withheld for any period, the Initiator, Dean, Director, or designee must notify the Registrar's Office. E. The Dean, Director or designee will forward the student's statement to the Chair of the College/School Board. F. If the alleged cheating involves the work of multiple students, the College/School Board may modify these procedures to address the circumstances. The College/School Board should provide prior written notice to all interested parties of any modification of the procedures. A student who has not submitted a request for a review should not expect to benefit from a review requested by another student. G. Hearing Proceedings a. The Chair of the College/School Board will send a copy of the statement to the Initiator, together with a copy of this Policy or with instructions on accessing the policy electronically. b. The letter to the student, a copy of which shall also be sent to the Initiator and the department chair, will include the following information: i. Statement of time and place when a hearing on the charges will be held by the College/School Board; ii. Requirement that the parties to provide each other and the College/School Board a written list of witnesses and a description of any documents or other evidence they intend to use at the hearing. Unless the Chair provides otherwise, this information must be exchanged at least one calendar week before the hearing. c. Prior to the hearing, the College/School Board will also advise the parties in writing of any additional time limitations or procedural requirements. d. The Initiator shall have the burden of showing that it is more likely than not that the student engaged in academic dishonesty. e. Issues shall be resolved fairly and as promptly as possible under the circumstances. f. The hearing will be closed to the public. The student and the Initiator may remain in the hearing throughout the presentation of all evidence and testimony, although the College/School Board Chair may remove either party, any Advisor, or any witness if that person's conduct is disruptive. g. The student and the instructor may each have an Advisor present but the Advisors shall not be permitted to address the College/School Board directly, except as the College/School Board Chair deems necessary or appropriate. h. The College/School Board Chair has the final authority to resolve procedural disputes that arise. Although formal rules of evidence do not apply to the hearing process, the College/School Board Chair may limit the presentation of irrelevant or cumulative evidence, the number of witnesses and the length of each parties presentation. i. The proceedings may be recorded, as determined by the College/School Board Chair. j. When necessitated by fairness or extraordinary circumstances, the College/School Board may permit the parties to make arrangements for recorded, written, or telephonic testimony for use in the proceeding. k. The hearing procedure will be as follows, unless the College/School Board Chair provides notice to the parties of alternative or supplemental procedures. i. The College/School Board Chair will introduce the persons present at the hearing and remind all participants of the requirement that all information received in the hearing must be maintained in confidence. ii. The College/School Board Chair will read allegation of academic dishonesty. iii. The College/School Board Chair will make any necessary decisions or clarifications regarding procedure. iv. Testimony and Evidence Presented by the Initiator. Academic Catalog Archive 2013-2014 118 v. The Initiator shall offer evidence in support of the allegation. 1. The Initiator may call witnesses and present evidence. 2. The student may ask questions of the Initiator or any of the Initiator's witnesses, following each person's presentation. 3. College/School Board members may ask questions of the Initiator, the student or any of the Initiator's witnesses. vi. Testimony and Evidence Presented by the Student. 1. The student shall offer evidence in defense of the allegation. 2. The student may call witnesses and present evidence. 3. The Initiator may ask questions of the student or any of the student's witnesses, following each person's presentation. 4. College/School Board members may ask questions of the student, the Initiator, or any of the student's witnesses. vii. The College/School Board shall deliberate in private until a majority recommendation is reached and recorded. If the recommendation is not unanimous, dissenting opinions should be reflected in the recommendation submitted to the Dean or Director. The College/School Board will prepare a written recommendation to the Dean or Director. The recommendation will include the Board's determination as to whether it is more likely than not that the student violated this policy. The decision should also include the College/School Board's findings with respect to the material facts. If the Board finds a violation, the recommendation should recommend sanctions. The Board may consider prior violations or informal resolutions of previous allegations in its deliberations. The College/School Board will submit its recommendation to the Dean or Director. The Dean or Director may dismiss the allegation, may concur with or modify the recommendation or may request further proceedings, but may not make new findings adverse to the student or increase the severity of a sanction, unless the student has previously violated this policy. After any additional proceedings and within a reasonable time, the Dean or Director will issue a decision. The Dean will provide written notice of the decision to the student, the Initiator, the instructor (if the instructor is not the Initiator), the College/School Board and the department chair (or administrative equivalent). If the decision imposes a sanction of suspension or expulsion from the university, or revocation of a degree, the notice letter from the Dean or Director will state that the student may appeal the decision by filing a written request for review with the Provost of the campus at which the alleged violation occurred within 10 days of the date of the notice letter. If the student does not submit a written request for review within 10 days, the decision of the Dean or Director becomes final. Once the student has provided written notice of an appeal of a sanction, the sanction will not be imposed until the appeal has been resolved with the exception that the university may withhold posting of a grade or completion of graduation until the matter has been resolved. viii. ix. x. xi. xii. xiii. xiv.

Subject to the procedures set forth in section III, an instructor, academic supervisor, or committee responsible for evaluation may impose any of the following sanctions for academic dishonesty: Reduced or failing grade for assignment, Reduced or failing grade for course, or Reduced, failing grade, or no credit for other academic evaluation (e.g., clinical training, comprehensive exam, thesis, dissertation). Within 10 days after an instructor-imposed sanction is assigned, the student may appeal the sanction to the Dean or Director. Sanctions that may be recommended by an instructor. An instructor, academic supervisor, or committee responsible for academic evaluation may recommend other or additional Academic Catalog Archive 2013-2014 119 sanctions to the Dean or Director, including assignment of the grade of XE and withdrawal of credit for a previously accepted course or requirement, if the sanctions are otherwise provided in this policy or in the Student Code of Conduct and Disciplinary Procedures. C. Sanctions that may be imposed by a Dean or Director. a. After reviewing the recommendation of the School/College Board, a Dean or Director may impose any of the following sanctions for academic dishonesty: i. ii. iii. iv. v. vi. b. Reduced or failing grade for assignment, Reduced or failing grade for course, Reduced or failing grade for other academic evaluation (e.g., clinical training, comprehensive exam, thesis, dissertation), Assignment of a grade of "XE"; Withdrawal of credit for a previously accepted course or requirement; Removal from the School or College or from a major or program of study within the School or College, permanently or for a specified period of time. The decision of the Dean or Director to impose any of the above sanctions is final. D. In addition to the above sanctions, a Dean or Director may recommend to the Provost any of the following sanctions: a. b. c. d. E. Final Sanctions a. b. c. d. F. Revocation of a degree (the student's official and unofficial transcript may reflect that revocation was the result of academic dishonesty); Expulsion from the University without expectation of readmission (the student's official and unofficial transcript may reflect that expulsion was the result of academic dishonesty); Suspension from the University for a specific period of time (the student's official and unofficial transcript may reflect that suspension was the result of academic dishonesty); Other sanctions as consistent with this policy and the Student Code of Conduct. The student will receive written notice of the decision and recommendations of the Dean or Director. If the sanctions do not include suspension from the university, expulsion from the university or revocation of the degree, the recommendations of the Dean or Director will be final. If the sanctions include suspension from the university, expulsion from the university or revocation of the degree, but the student does not object in writing to the recommendations of the Dean or Director within 10 days, the recommendations of the Dean will be final. If the sanctions include suspension from the university, expulsion from the university or revocation of the degree, and if the student provides written notice to the Provost of an objection to the recommendations of the Dean within 10 days, the Provost will convene a University Hearing Board to review the recommendations. Mitigating and aggravating circumstances may be considered in determining the appropriate sanction for a violation of this policy. Guidelines for Review A. A student may seek to have a Dean's or Director's decision reviewed by the University Hearing Board only if the final decision imposes a sanction of suspension or expulsion from the university, revocation of admission or revocation of a degree. B. The request for review must be in writing and must be filed with the Provost within 10 days of the date of the decision letter from the Dean. C. The University Hearing Board shall follow the procedures set forth in the ABOR Student Disciplinary Procedures, except that the Provost, or designee will take the role of the Vice President for Student Affairs and will establish the University Hearing Board to conduct the appeal, and the College may take the role of the Dean of Students in presenting the case on behalf of the College/Initiator. The Provost may make other alternations to the procedures, with notice to the individuals involved. D. The University Hearing Board will make a recommendation to the Provost. E. The decision of the Provost is final. Procedures Following Final Decision Academic Catalog Archive 2013-2014 120 If any student work affected by the finding of academic dishonesty has been placed in the library or forwarded to a third party in partial fulfillment of degree requirements that work may be removed from the library or withdrawn from the third party. If a degree has been awarded, it may be revoked if requirements were not adequately fulfilled due to academic dishonesty. Other University Policies The University's Misconduct In Research Policy is independent of the Student Academic Integrity Policy and the Guidelines for Graduate Appeals. Individual conduct may, for example, violate both the Student Academic Integrity Policy and the Misconduct in Research Policy and be subject to review and sanctions under both policies. Source URL: https://provost.asu.edu/academicintegrity/policy/Sanctions Definitions Academic Evaluation: Means any academic project, paper, performance, quiz, exam, comprehensive exam, candidacy exam, thesis, dissertation, clinical or internship experience or other evaluation assigned or offered for credit (including extra or optional credit), intended to fulfill an academic requirement, or considered by the university to provide academic or research experience (such as a paid research position). College/School Board: Means each College, School or Program hearing or standards board appointed by the academic Dean, Director or administrative equivalent to review allegations of academic dishonesty. Dean: Means the person holding the position of college Dean, Director, or the administrative equivalent, or that person's designee. (This does not include a "Program Director" or "School Director" if the academic unit reports to a college level dean or director. Plagiarism: Means using another's words, ideas, materials or work without properly acknowledging and documenting the source. Students are responsible for knowing the rules governing the use of another's work or materials and for acknowledging and documenting the source appropriately. Provost: Means the Provost or another person designated by the senior academic officer of the campus at which the alleged academic dishonesty occurred. University: Means ASU Tempe, ASU Polytechnic, ASU West, ASU Downtown Phoenix, ASU Online, and all other locations used for instruction or academic activities. University Board: Means the University Academic Integrity Hearing Board constituted by the Provost at the campus at which the alleged academic dishonesty occurred. Advisor: Means an individual selected by the student to assist him/her during a hearing conducted by the University Academic Integrity Hearing Board. The advisor may be a faculty or staff member, student, or other representative of the student. Day: Means normal university business day, not including Saturday, Sunday or any officially recognized university employee holiday or any day on which the university is closed. Source URL: https://provost.asu.edu/academicintegrity/policy/Definitions The Grade of "XE" 1. 2. 3. 4. The "XE" grade denotes failure through academic dishonesty. The "XE" grade will be recorded on the student's official and unofficial transcript with the notation "failure due to academic dishonesty." The "XE" grade shall be treated in the same way as an "E" for the purposes of grade point average and determination of academic standing. No student with an "XE" grade on his or her transcript shall be permitted to represent that University in any extracurricular activity or to run for or hold office in any recognized student organization. Generally, the "XE" grade will remain on the transcript permanently if it was awarded for an act of academic dishonesty requiring significant premeditation. For other cases, after at least 12 months have elapsed since the "XE" grade was imposed, a student may file a written petition to the Dean or Director of the College or Program that imposed the "XE" to have the "XE" grade removed and permanently replaced with the grade of "E." The decision to remove the "XE" grade and replace it with an "E" is in the sole discretion and judgment of the Dean or Director or his or her designee. The Dean or Director or designee may confer with other university officials and may require the student to attest that the student has not been involved in any other act of academic dishonesty or similar disciplinary offense at Arizona State Academic Catalog Archive 2013-2014 121 University or another institution. If the student's representation is later discovered to be false, the "XE" grade may be reinstated. Source URL: https://provost.asu.edu/academicintegrity/policy/TheGradeOfXE Impact Following the Academic Integrity Policy and Avoiding Violations Academic integrity is a fundamental value because violations of it cause real harm to real people. Protecting the ASU community from this harm is everyone’s responsibility. • • Students who suspect a policy violation are encouraged to discuss their concerns with their course instructor or academic advisor. Faculty, T.A.’s, and instructors are expected to address all violations of the ASU Academic Integrity Policy. Please become familiar with the university policy and the process for addressing violations of the policy within your college/school [1]. Harm to Student • • • If students cheat in a course or another academic exercise, they are taking away from themselves the opportunity to learn. The faculty holds the highest standards of academic integrity. If a student is caught cheating, the sanction can be anything from a lowered grade on an assignment to expulsion from ASU. ASU has a grade of "XE" which can become part of a transcript and permanent academic records and explicitly means that the student failed a course because of academic dishonesty. Here’s the Student Academic Integrity Policy’s [2] explanation of the "XE": The "XE" grade denotes failure through academic dishonesty. The "XE" grade will be recorded on the student's official and unofficial transcript with the notation "failure due to academic dishonesty.” The "XE" grade shall be treated in the same way as an "E" for the purposes of grade point average and determination of academic standing. No student with an "XE" grade on his or her transcript shall be permitted to represent the University in any extracurricular activity or to run for or hold office in any recognized student organization. Generally, the "XE" grade will remain on the transcript permanently. • • • ASU degrees could mean less. If ASU develops a reputation for academic dishonesty based on high levels of student cheating, students’ future employers, colleagues and others could have less respect for their accomplishments at ASU. Cheating creates an unfair grading environment for others. Whether or not a course is graded on a curve, a student who cheats, turns in high-quality work and is not caught raises the expectations about work quality for all students. Cheating can directly affect innocent students. For example, if a student plagiarizes on a group project, all the students in the group may be sanctioned for an Academic Integrity Policy violation. Harm to Future Employers, Clients or Patients • Cheating can hurt the people students will work with in the future. Many students are preparing for careers where they will provide services to others—legal, journalistic, medical, research, etc. If these students fail to learn how to do this work because they cheat at ASU, they have cheated their future employers and clients of a knowledgeable professional. Harm to ASU • ASU is an intellectual community focused on teaching, research and the values of the New American University. The creation, transmission, sharing and applying of knowledge are central activities of the community. Cheating violates fundamental values of the university community.

Student grade appeals must be processed in the regular semester immediately following the issuance of the grade in dispute (by commencement for fall or spring), regardless of whether the student is enrolled at the university. It is university policy that students filing grievances and those who are witnesses are protected from retaliation. Students who believe they are victims of retaliation should immediately contact the dean of the college in which the course is offered. A. The aggrieved student must first undergo the informal procedure of conferring with the instructor, stating the evidence, if any, and reasons for questioning that the grade received was not given in good faith. The instructor is obliged to review the matter, explain the grading procedure used and show how the grade in question was determined. If the instructor is a graduate assistant and this interview does not resolve the difficulty, the student may then take the problem to the faculty member in charge of the course (regular faculty member or director of the course sequence). B. If the grading dispute is not resolved in step A, the student may appeal to the department chair or other appropriate chair of the area within the department (if any). The department chair may confer with the instructor to handle the problem. Step B applies only in departmentalized colleges. C. If these discussions are not adequate to settle the matter to the complainant's satisfaction, the student may then confer with the dean of the college concerned (or the dean-designate), who will review the case. If unresolved, the dean or designate may refer the case to the college academic grievance hearing committee to review the case formally. In most instances, however, the grievance procedure does not go beyond this level. Formal The following procedure takes place after steps A, B and C (or A and C) have been completed. D. Each college has on file in the office of the dean (and in each department of the college) the procedures and composition of the undergraduate or graduate academic grievance hearing committee for student grievances. Each college committee shall operate under grievance procedures as stated, which satisfy due process requirements. The committee shall always meet with the student and the instructor in an attempt to resolve the differences. At the conclusion of the hearing, the committee shall send its recommendations to the dean. E. Final action in each case will be taken by the dean after full consideration of the committee's recommendation. Any recommended grade changes may be made by the dean. The dean shall inform the student, instructor, department chair (if any), registrar and grievance committee of any action taken. Source URL: https://catalog.asu.edu/appeal University Undergraduate General Studies Requirement A baccalaureate education should prepare students for a particular profession or advanced study and for constructive and satisfying personal, social and civic lives, as well. In addition to depth of knowledge in a particular academic or professional discipline, students should also be broadly educated and develop the general intellectual skills they need to continue learning throughout their lives. Thus, the General Studies requirement complements the undergraduate major by helping students gain mastery of critical learning skills, investigate the traditional branches of knowledge and develop the broad perspective that frees one to appreciate diversity and change across time, culture and national boundaries. Critical learning skills include proficiency in the use of language, mathematics and quantitative methods as tools for acquiring, renewing, creating and communicating knowledge. A broad education includes an understanding of the methods and concerns of traditional branches of knowledge — the arts and humanities, the social sciences and the natural sciences. Developing perspective requires historical, global and cross-cultural examination of knowledge of all kinds. The General Studies requirement is composed of courses in five core areas and three awareness areas. The courses are approved by the General Studies council and are noted in the course catalog [1] for each academic term. General Studies courses are regularly reviewed and are occasionally added to and deleted from the list. Students should always consult the course catalog [1] each semester to see which courses currently meet the General Studies requirement. Academic Catalog Archive 2013-2014 123 A student receives the General Studies credit that a course carries during the semester in which the course is taken. Five Core Areas L: Literacy and Critical Inquiry (six credit hours) Literacy is competence in written and oral discourse. Critical inquiry is the gathering, interpretation and evaluation of evidence. The literacy and critical inquiry requirement helps students sustain and extend their ability to reason critically and communicate clearly through language. Students must complete six credit hours from courses designated as L, at least three credit hours of which must be chosen from approved upper-division courses, preferably in their major. Students must have completed ENG 101, 105, or 107 to take an L course. MA and CS: Mathematical Studies (combined six credit hours) This core area has two categories. Mathematics (MA) is the acquisition of essential skills in basic mathematics, and requires the student to complete a course in college mathematics or precalculus or to demonstrate a higher level of skill by completing a course for which college algebra is a prerequisite. Computer/statistics/quantitative applications (CS) applies mathematical reasoning, and requires students to complete a course in either the use of statistics/quantitative analysis or the use of a computer to assist in serious analytical math work. This requirement has two parts: At least three credit hours must be selected from courses designated MA and at least three credit hours must be selected from courses designated CS; and all students are expected to fulfill the MA requirement by the time they accumulate 30 hours of credit in residence at ASU. Any student who has more than 30 hours of resident ASU credit and has not fulfilled the MA requirement must enroll in an MA course or an appropriate prerequisite and continue to do so every semester until the mathematics requirement is met. College officers may grant waivers to the immediate and continual enrollment requirement only when there are scheduling conflicts detrimental to the student's academic progress. HU: Humanities, Fine Arts and Design and SB: Social and Behavioral Sciences (combined 15 credit hours) The study of the humanities and the disciplines of art and design deepen awareness of the complexities of the human condition and its diverse histories and cultures. Courses in the humanities are devoted to the productions of human thought and imagination, particularly in philosophical, historical, religious and artistic traditions. Courses with an emphasis in fine arts and design are devoted to the study of aesthetic experiences and the processes of artistic creation. They may also feature a design emphasis in which material culture is studied as a product of human thought and imagination. The social and behavioral sciences provide scientific methods of inquiry and empirical knowledge about human behavior, within society and individually. The forms of study may be cultural, economic, geographic, historical, linguistic, political, psychological or social. The courses in this area address the challenge of understanding the diverse natures of individuals and cultural groups who live together in a world of diminishing economic, linguistic, military, political and social distance. A total of 15 credit hours must be completed in the following two core areas: humanities, fine arts and design (HU); and social and behavioral sciences (SB). Two conditions must be satisfied: Six credit hours must be taken in one of these two core areas and nine hours in the other core area; and three of the 15 credit hours must be at the upper-division level. SQ and SG: Natural Sciences (combined eight credit hours) The natural sciences help students appreciate the scope and limitations of science and its contributions to society. Natural science areas of study include anthropology, astronomy, biology, biochemistry, chemistry, experimental psychology, geology, microbiology, physical geography, physics and plant biology. Knowledge of the methods of scientific inquiry and mastery of basic scientific principles and concepts are stressed, specifically those that relate to matter and energy in living and nonliving systems. Firsthand exposure to scientific phenomena in the laboratory is important in developing and understanding the concepts, principles and vocabulary of science. General Studies courses that satisfy the natural science requirement are given one of two classifications: quantitative (SQ) and general (SG). 1. Natural Science—Quantitative (SQ): These laboratory courses include a substantial introduction to the fundamental behavior of matter and energy in physical and biological systems. Academic Catalog Archive 2013-2014 124 2. Natural Science—General (SG): These laboratory courses cover aspects of scientific inquiry that lend themselves to more qualitative or descriptive discussions of science. Eight credit hours of courses designated SQ or SG must be selected. Of these, at least four credit hours must be taken from the SQ category. Three Awareness Areas Students must complete courses that satisfy three awareness areas. Courses that are listed for a core area and one or more awareness areas may satisfy requirements concurrently, up to a maximum of two of the awareness areas listed for that course. These awareness areas promote appreciation of cultural diversity within the contemporary U.S., the development of an international perspective and an understanding of current human events through study of the past. 1. Cultural Diversity in the United States (C) The objective of the cultural diversity (C) requirement is to promote awareness and appreciation of cultural diversity within the contemporary U.S. This is accomplished through the study of the cultural, social or scientific contributions of women and minority groups, examination of their experiences in the U.S., or exploration of successful or unsuccessful interactions between and among cultural groups. Awareness of cultural diversity and its multiple sources can illuminate the collective past, present and future and also help students achieve greater mutual understanding and respect. 2. Global Awareness (G) The objective of the global awareness (G) requirement is to help students recognize the need for an understanding of the values, elements and social processes of cultures other than those of the U.S. The global awareness area includes courses that recognize other contemporary cultures and the relationship of the American cultural system to generic human goals and welfare. 3. Historical Awareness (H) The objective of the historical awareness (H) requirement is to help students develop knowledge of the past, which can be useful in shaping the present and future. History is present in languages, art, music, literature, philosophy, religion and the natural sciences, as well as in the social science traditionally called history. Meeting the General Studies Requirement All students enrolled in a baccalaureate degree program must successfully complete a minimum of 35 credit hours of approved General Studies courses. Many General Studies courses are approved as satisfying more than one requirement. The following conditions govern the application of courses toward the General Studies requirement: 1. 2. 3. A single course may be used to satisfy one core area and a maximum of two awareness area requirements. A single course may be used to satisfy a maximum of two awareness area requirements. A single course cannot be used to satisfy two core area requirements, even if it is approved for more than one core area. There is no limit to the number of advanced placement or College-Level Examination Program credits that can be used to meet the General Studies requirement; see credit by examination [2]. However, CLEP credits do not satisfy the natural sciences (SQ and SG) and literacy and critical inquiry (L) portions of the General Studies requirement. Transfer Credit The Arizona General Education Curriculum, offered by Arizona community colleges, is composed of 35 credit hours of lower-division general education course work. Students who complete the AGEC have fulfilled the ASU first-year composition requirement and all lower-division portions of the General Studies requirement. Students must still take six upper-division credit hours (three for L and three for SB or HU) to complete the ASU General Studies requirement. If students transfer from Arizona community colleges without completing the AGEC or from other accredited postsecondary institutions, they receive credit for General Studies based on courseby-course equivalency. See Arizona General Education Curriculum [3]. College or School and Major Requirements In addition to the General Studies requirement, students must also complete college or school and major requirements. Students are encouraged to work with their academic advisors to develop a program of study that efficiently meets all graduation Academic Catalog Archive 2013-2014 125 requirements. A well-planned program should enable a student to concurrently satisfy requirements at the university, college or school levels and within their major. Source URL: https://catalog.asu.edu/ug_gsr Links: [1] https://webapp.asu.edu/catalog/ [2] http://catalog.asu.edu/credit_exam#CLEP [3] http://catalog.asu.edu/agec University Undergraduate Graduation Requirements All students enrolled in a baccalaureate degree program must fulfill the following university requirements to graduate. Credit Requirements A minimum of 120 credit hours is required for graduation with a baccalaureate degree. A minimum of 45 credit hours in upperdivision courses is required for graduation. Some programs may require more than 120 credit hours and 45 upper-division credit hours for graduation; check the program's major map for graduation requirements. No more than 60 credit hours earned in independent learning courses or earned by comprehensive examination (including advanced placement, College-Level Examination Program, DANTES Subject Standardized Test and International Baccalaureate diploma/certificate exams) are accepted for credit toward the baccalaureate degree. Grade Point Requirement A minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.00 for all courses taken at ASU is required to graduate with a baccalaureate degree. Some programs may require more than a 2.00 GPA; refer to the specific program's major map for graduation requirements. General Studies Requirement All students enrolled in a baccalaureate degree program must satisfy a university requirement of a minimum of 35 credit hours of approved course work. See General Studies. [1] Students transferring from Arizona community colleges with a certified completion of the appropriate Arizona General Education Curriculum will have satisfied all lower-division General Studies requirements of the baccalaureate degree with which the AGEC articulates. For more details regarding the different versions of AGEC, refer to http://aztransfer.com/ [2]. Mathematics Requirement All undergraduate degree-seeking students are expected to fulfill the university's mathematics requirement by the time they have accumulated 30 hours of credit in residence at ASU. Any student who has more than 30 hours of credit and has not fulfilled the mathematics requirement must enroll in a mathematics course or an appropriate prerequisite course and continue to do so every semester until the mathematics requirement is met. A waiver may be granted for continuous enrollment if there are scheduling conflicts detrimental to the student's academic progress. First-Year Composition Requirement Completion of both ENG 101 and 102 or ENG 105 with a grade of "C" (2.00) or higher is required for graduation from ASU in any baccalaureate program. An international student whose native language is not English may meet the first-year composition requirement by completing ENG 107 and 108 with a grade of "C" (2.00) or higher. Students who are required to take first-year composition must enroll in their first required composition course within the first year and continue to enroll in required composition courses every term until composition requirements are met. New and Transfer Students Composition courses transferred from non-Arizona public or out-of-state institutions may require evaluation and approval by the Office of Transfer Systems Development. After consultation with an advisor, if evaluation is necessary, the student should submit a request for evaluation through the ASU Transfer Credit Guide [3]. Students should complete the process upon transfer of course work to ASU so the student is able to enroll in additional courses if required to do so. Students who are required to take first-year Academic Catalog Archive 2013-2014 126 composition must enroll in their first required composition course within the first year and continue to enroll in required composition courses every term until composition requirements are met. Resident Credit Requirement Resident credit refers to a course that is offered in a regular semester, winter session (prior to 2011-2012), intersession or summer session. Credit earned through comprehensive examinations is also included when calculating ASU resident hours. Credit earned through independent learning, advanced placement, the College-Level Examination Program or an International Baccalaureate diploma/certificate are excluded when calculating ASU resident hours. Every candidate for the baccalaureate degree is required to earn a minimum of 30 credit hours in resident-credit courses at ASU. Guidelines for Determination of Catalog Year The catalog is published annually. Department, school, division, college and university requirements may change and are upgraded often. In determining graduation requirements, an undergraduate student may use only one edition of the catalog but may elect to follow any later catalog edition. Students may not use an edition of the catalog that was in effect before their high school graduation or completion of GED. Students maintaining continuous enrollment at any Arizona community college or public university may graduate according to the requirements of the catalog in effect at the time of initial enrollment following high school graduation or completion of a GED or according to the requirements of any single catalog in effect during subsequent terms of continuous enrollment. Students may maintain continuous enrollment while pursuing their degrees, whether attending a single Arizona community college or public university or transferring among public institutions in Arizona. Students transferring among Arizona public higher education institutions must meet the admission, residency and all curricular and academic requirements of the degreegranting institution. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. A semester in which a student earns course credit is counted toward continuous enrollment. Noncredit courses, audited courses, failed courses or courses from which the student withdraws do not count toward the determination of continuous enrollment for catalog purposes. See examples A and B in the continuous enrollment table below. Students who do not meet the minimum enrollment standard stipulated above during three consecutive semesters (fall/spring/fall or spring/fall/spring) and the intervening summer term at any Arizona community college or public university are no longer considered continuously enrolled. (Note that students are not obligated to enroll and earn course credit during summer terms, but summer enrollment may be used to maintain continuous enrollment status.) These students must meet requirements of the Arizona community college or public university catalog in effect at the time they are readmitted or of any single catalog in effect during subsequent terms of continuous enrollment after readmission. See examples C and D in the continuous enrollment table below. Students admitted or readmitted to an Arizona community college or public university during a summer term must follow the requirements of the catalog in effect the following fall semester or of any single catalog in effect during subsequent terms of continuous enrollment. See example E in the continuous enrollment table below. In areas of study in which the subject matter changes rapidly, material in courses taken long before graduation may become obsolete or irrelevant. Course work that is more than eight years old is applicable to completion of degree requirements at the discretion of the student’s major department. Departments may accept such course work, reject it or request that the student revalidate its substance. The eight-year limit on course work applies except when program accreditation agencies limit the life of course work to fewer than eight years. Departments may also require students to satisfy current major requirements rather than major requirements in earlier catalogs when completing earlier requirements is no longer possible or educationally sound. Enrollment by Arizona community college students in nontransferable courses still constitutes enrollment for purposes of determining whether the student has been continuously enrolled. For example, if a student takes two semesters of cooperative education classes that are not transferable to the university but constitute continuous enrollment at the community college, the university should consider it continuous enrollment. Exceptions made by an institution apply only to the institution that made the exception. For example, if the community college departments accepted credit that was more than eight years old, the university department to which the student transfers might not; it has the right and the obligation to reevaluate any credit more than eight years old. Inquiries about these guidelines may be directed to the student's academic advisor.

Petition for Variance from Degree Any student wishing to have a college or university degree requirement variance must petition the standards committee of the college in which the student is enrolled. All petitions must originate with the student's advisor. The University Undergraduate Standards Committee advises the Office of the Executive Vice President and Provost of the University regarding undergraduate student petitions that concern university-wide academic requirements. These requirements include but are not limited to requirements on the amount of transfer credit, graduation requirements, limits on credit by examination and requirements for a second baccalaureate degree. To petition for a variance from such university requirements, the University Undergraduate Standards Committee petition is used. Most petitions heard by the University Undergraduate Standards Committee start at the college level and are forwarded for final review and decision to the university level committee. Overview of Graduation Requirements At ASU, students take classes that fulfill four types of requirements. As illustrated in the graduation requirements diagram below, some courses can fulfill two or more types of requirements but other courses fulfill only one requirement. The total credit hours needed to graduate are represented by the largest circle. The university minimum is 120 credit hours. Some majors, however, require more than 120 credit hours. Although the three shaded circles are equal in size and the white circle is larger than all three, the total number of semester hours for each type of requirement may vary. University Requirements The yellow circle represents university requirements. The General Studies requirement and the first-year composition requirement are among these requirements. College Requirements Academic Catalog Archive 2013-2014 129 The gray circle represents college requirements. Some colleges and schools have additional requirements, such as the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. Major The red circle represents the requirements of the major. The credit hours required for a major may be as low as 30 hours or as high as 63 hours. Electives/Minor/Certificate The white circle represents electives and the requirements of a minor or certificate. A minor typically adds an additional 18 to 25 credit hours of course work. Although every student must eventually declare a major, minor and certificates are not required. Some courses, while providing credit hours toward graduation, fall outside the shaded circles and are not required in a program for graduation. These courses are electives. Some majors leave no room for electives within the minimum 120 credit hours required to graduate. Other Requirements The separate units of ASU — such as colleges, schools and departments — have specific requirements for graduation that must be satisfied for a baccalaureate degree. Students are encouraged to consult with an academic advisor in planning a program to ensure it meets the various requirements. A well-planned program may enable a student to concurrently satisfy a portion of the General Studies requirement together with a portion of a college or major requirement. Graduation with Academic Recognition An undergraduate student must have completed at least 56 credit hours of resident credit at ASU to qualify for graduation with academic recognition for a baccalaureate degree. Note: West campus students following a catalog year prior to fall 2007 are required to have completed at least 50 credit hours of resident credit at ASU. The cumulative GPA determines the designation, as shown in the academic recognition table below. Academic Recognition Cumulative GPA Designation 3.40–3.59 cum laude 3.60–3.79 magna cum laude 3.80–4.00 summa cum laude The cumulative GPA for these designations is based on ASU resident course work only. For example, ASU independent learning course grades are not calculated in the honors GPA. All designations of graduation with academic recognition are indicated on the diploma and the ASU transcript. Graduation with academic recognition applies only to undergraduate degrees. A student who has a baccalaureate degree from ASU and is pursuing a second baccalaureate degree at ASU (with a minimum of 30 hours of resident credit) is granted academic recognition on the second degree based on the credit hours earned subsequent to the posting of the first degree. If fewer than 56 credit hours are completed at ASU subsequent to completion of the first ASU degree, the level of academic recognition can be no higher than that obtained on the first degree. If 56 or more credit hours are completed at ASU after completion of the first ASU degree, the level of academic recognition is based on the GPA earned for the second ASU degree. Inquiries about graduation with academic recognition may be directed to the graduation office (480-965-3256). Additional Degrees Second Baccalaureate Degree The student seeking a second baccalaureate degree must meet admission criteria for that degree. After conferral of the first degree, a minimum of 30 credit hours in resident credit courses at ASU must be successfully completed to earn the second baccalaureate degree. The student must meet all degree and university requirements of the second degree. Academic Catalog Archive 2013-2014 130 Concurrent Degrees More than one baccalaureate degree may be pursued concurrently if prior approval is given by the standards committees of the colleges offering the degrees. Students may receive concurrent degrees if they meet the minimum requirements for both degrees. eAdvisor and critical requirements eAdvisor is Arizona State University's electronic advising and enrollment management system, designed for first-time freshmen and transfer students from Arizona public universities and Arizona community colleges. Students use eAdvisor to: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. learn more about graduation requirements for their major discern the critical courses and grades that are required to stay on track to successfully complete their degree plan for and schedule appropriate courses in the correct sequence to maximize success monitor progress toward their degree find out how courses may fit into other majors if they decide to change majors Through eAdvisor, students follow a major map that outlines the critical requirements and optimal eight-semester plan. If students do not meet the critical requirements, an advising hold may be placed on the students' records, and an advising session is required before future registration activities can take place. When students do not meet the critical requirements for two consecutive semesters, they are considered off track and may be advised to change majors.

The master’s and doctoral degrees are awarded to students completing programs that culminate in research and creative endeavors. The PhD degree is the highest university award, conferred on candidates who have proven their ability as scholars and original researchers. Academic Integrity The highest standards of academic integrity and compliance with the university’s Student Code of Conduct are expected of all graduate students in academic coursework and research activities. The failure of any graduate student to uphold these standards may result in serious consequences including suspension or expulsion from the university and/or other sanctions as specified in the academic integrity policies of individual colleges as well as the university. Violations of academic integrity include, but are not limited to: cheating, fabrication of data, tampering, plagiarism, or aiding and/or facilitating such activities. At the graduate level, it is expected that students are familiar with these issues and that each student assumes personal responsibility in their work. Graduate Student Responsibilities Graduate students are responsible for familiarizing themselves with all university and graduate policies and procedures. Each student should also communicate directly with his/her academic unit to be clear on its expectations for degree completion. Information is provided to students via MyASU. Students should frequently check their MyASU account for the most up-to-date information regarding their status, holds, items to attend to and other important information. It is very important that students check with their thesis/dissertation advisor well in advance of data collection to ensure compliance with university regulations regarding the collection of research data. Please see the section of this guide titled “Research Involving Human and Animal Subjects.” Application Submission of an Application For admission information and procedures, see graduate.asu.edu/admissions. Applications for all graduate degree programs, certificate programs, and/or non-degree must be submitted via the application website. Prior to submitting an application to the office of Graduate Education, applicants should review information regarding the degree program, and academic unit application requirements and deadlines. Students who have a Graduate Education approved Request to Maintain Continuous Enrollment on file with the office of Graduate Education prior to their semester of non-registration and are re-entering the same degree program for the semester immediately following the approved Request, are not required to submit a new application. Application Deadlines Application deadlines are set by the degree programs. Consult the program's website or the Graduate Degree and Certificate Search tool for specific application deadlines.

To accommodate timely processing, international applicants for fall enrollment must submit application materials by the previous December. Not all academic units accept applications for both the fall and spring semesters; however, if the academic unit allows for spring applications, international applicants must submit materials for spring enrollment by the previous August. *Please note that international students must apply to Sessions A or C only (Session B is not available to international students due to visa requirements). Application Fee Each application to an ASU graduate program must be accompanied by a non-refundable application fee, payable by credit card at the time of submission. The application fee covers Graduate Education administrative costs of processing all applications and is not refundable under any circumstance.  Domestic application fee: $70;  International application fee $90. In addition to the normal application fee, a $50 non-refundable late processing fee will be assessed for all applications submitted on or after the dates indicated previously. Applicants receive an email acknowledgement once the application has been successfully submitted. The acknowledgement includes an ASURITE ID and activation code so that students may follow the progress of their application through MyASU. Applicants should review MyASU to monitor their application status, “To Do” items and “Holds”. Application Requirements Applicants must submit official transcripts from all post-secondary institutions previously attended to the office of Graduate Education (see graduate.asu.edu/admissions). Academic units may have admission requirements in addition to those of the office for Graduate Education. Many graduate programs require scores from a national admissions test such as the Graduate Record Examination (GRE), Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT), or the Miller Analogies Test. Some programs require a portfolio, letters of recommendation, a statement of goals and/or a resume. Applicants should consult the academic unit regarding program admission requirements prior to submitting an online application. All documents received by Graduate Education in connection with an application become property of the ASU Graduate Education office and will not be returned. Academic Credentials Applicants who attended school in the United States must hold a bachelor’s degree or higher from a regionally accredited U.S. institution in order to be eligible for admission. Applicants are required to provide proof that a bachelor’s or graduate degree was awarded before completion of their first semester of graduate studies at ASU. Applicants who attended school outside of the U.S. must hold a bachelor’s or graduate degree, or equivalent, from an institution that is officially recognized by that country. If original credentials are issued in a language other than English, applicants must provide the original language transcripts as well as an official and literal translation. Applicants are required to provide proof that a bachelor’s or graduate degree was awarded before completion of their first semester of graduate studies at ASU. Revised 8/1/2013.

No institutional code is needed.  Pearson Test of English (PTE) score of at least 60. The PTE is administered by Pearson. Individual academic units may have higher requirements for English proficiency. Consult the academic unit’s website. English proficiency is only valid for two years and must be taken within two years from the beginning of the semester for which the student applied. Some applicants are exempt from the English proficiency requirement. The following exceptions must be met exactly to be considered for an exemption:  Applicants who have earned a bachelor’s degree or higher in residence from a regionally accredited college/university in the United States.  Applicants who have completed at least 12 semester hours of graduate coursework with a cumulative GPA of 3.0 (on a 4.0 scale) or higher in residence at a regionally accredited college/university in the United States.  Applicants who have completed at least 90 semester hours of undergraduate coursework with a cumulative GPA of 3.0 (on a 4.0 scale) or higher in residence at a regionally accredited college/university in the United States.  Applicants who have completed the American English and Culture Program (AECP) Advanced Level II with grades of “B” or better along with the recommendation of the Director of AECP. All international applicants who are from a country whose native language is not English and who wish to apply for teaching assistantships must pass an examination that certifies their skill in speaking English—either the Interview Test, or the Speaking Proficiency English Assessment Kit (SPEAK) test. Tests are administered at ASU; additional information may be found at global.asu.edu/aecp/ita. Post-Baccalaureate Non-Degree Programs Applicants who do not immediately intend to pursue a graduate degree may apply as a post-baccalaureate nondegree student. The application process does not require the submission of academic credentials or test scores. Non-degree applicants must have earned a bachelor’s degree or higher from a U.S. regionally accredited institution or the equivalent of a U.S. bachelor’s or graduate degree from an international institution that is officially recognized by that country. There is no limit to the total cumulative credit hours a student can take as a non-degree student. However, to apply the credit hours toward an ASU master’s or doctoral degree, students are limited to twelve credit hours taken within three years of admission prior to admission to the degree program. Non-degree study may be restricted by certain academic units. Contact the degree program for restriction information. Financial aid is not available to non-degree students. Non-degree study is typically not available to international students on F-1 or J-1 visas. For exceptions, prior to applying, you must obtain written approval from your Designated School Official (DSO) granting permission for you to take classes. Revised 8/1/2013. The most current pdf version of the ASU Graduate Policies and Procedures can be found at: graduate.asu.edu/faculty_staff/policies Academic Catalog Archive 2013-2014 138 6 After Applying After an application has been successfully submitted, applicants receive an email acknowledgement that includes an ASURITE ID and activation code. Applicants should review MyASU to check on the application status, “To Do” items and “Holds”. Admission A minimum grade point average of 3.0 (on a 4.0 scale) in the last 60 semester hours or 90 quarter hours of undergraduate coursework is required to be considered for admission to an ASU graduate degree program. Academic units submit recommendations regarding admission decisions to the office for Graduate Education; only the Vice Provost for Graduate Education can make formal offers of admission. Applicants monitor the status of their application through MyASU. If admitted, the formal letter of admission can be downloaded from MyASU. If denied admission, letters are sent via email to the address on record. Admission Types  Regular Admission: Applicant satisfies all requirements for admission and is academically acceptable to both the degree program and the office for Graduate Education.  Provisional Admission: Applicant does not meet minimum academic standards with respect to grade point averages as required by Graduate Education and the academic unit, but has additional evidence to suggest the potential for success. This status provides the academic unit with an opportunity to better evaluate the student’s academic potential. Students have a maximum of one academic year to satisfy the provisional condition. Graduate Education will withdraw students from the degree program who have not met the provisions of their admission within the required timeframe. When students have satisfied the provisional requirements, they should confirm with the academic unit that a change of status has been recommended. Students with Provisional Admission are not eligible to submit a Plan of Study until the conditions of admission have been satisfied.  Regular Admission with Deficiencies: Applicant’s grades and test scores are at an acceptable level but applicant does not have the academic background expected by the degree program and the university. Required deficiency courses may not be applied toward the minimum hours required for the degree program. Monitoring deficiency completion is the responsibility of the academic unit. Defer Admission Students may, with the recommendation of the degree program, defer their initial semester and year of admission to the next semester for which the degree program is admitting students. No further deferrals are allowed. International Student Admission International students planning to attend ASU on an F-1 student visa or a J-1 exchange visitor visa must provide documentation required by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services. Visa documents are only issued for international students enrolled in a degree program or the post baccalaureate teacher education program. There are strict regulations regarding when an I-20 or DS-2019 can be issued. Detailed information may be found at: graduate.asu.edu/admissions/international/visa_immigration Revised 8/1/2013. The most current pdf version of the ASU Graduate Policies and Procedures can be found at: graduate.asu.edu/faculty_staff/policies Academic Catalog Archive 2013-2014 139 7 Registration and Enrollment All students are required to have proof of measles immunizations on file with Student Health prior to registration. Graduate students register through MyASU according to their enrollment appointment. Details regarding registration and course drop/add procedures are provided in the Registration and Tuition Payment Guide. Enrollment Verification Guidelines The University’s Registrar’s Office will verify student enrollment each semester according to the general guidelines that follow. Enrollment Verification Guidelines for Graduate Students Regular Semester Graduate Graduate Assistant** Six-Week Summer Sessions Graduate Graduate Assistant** Eight-Week Summer Session Graduate Full Time* Half Time Less Than Half Time 9 or more hours 6 or more hours 5-8 hours -- 4 or fewer hours -- 3 or more hours 2 or more hours 2 hours 1 hour 1 hour -- 5 or more hours 3-4 hours 2 or fewer hours *Audited courses do not count toward full-time enrollment **For enrollment verification purposes, “Graduate Assistant” is a generic term that includes Teaching Assistants, Research Assistants, Teaching Associates and Research Associates. Academic units may have specific requirements regarding registration requirements for Graduate Assistants; students should consult with their degree program unit. International F-1 and J-1 students are required to maintain full-time enrollment status. Any exception to fulltime enrollment must be previously approved by the International Student and Scholars Office (ISSO). Maximum Course Load The office for Graduate Education does not have a maximum credit hour enrollment policy. It is expected that academic units will set course loads for their students that facilitate academic success. Continuous Enrollment Once admitted to a graduate degree program or graduate certificate program, students must be registered for a minimum of one credit hour during all phases of their graduate education, including the term in which they graduate. This includes periods when students are engaged in research, conducting a doctoral prospectus, working on or defending theses or dissertations, taking comprehensive examinations, taking Graduate Foreign Language Examinations, or in any other way utilizing university resources, facilities or faculty time. Registration for every fall semester and spring semester is required. Summer registration is required for students taking examinations, completing culminating experiences, conducting a doctoral prospectus, defending theses or dissertations, or graduating from the degree program. Revised 8/1/2013. The most current pdf version of the ASU Graduate Policies and Procedures can be found at: graduate.asu.edu/faculty_staff/policies Academic Catalog Archive 2013-2014 140 8 To maintain continuous enrollment the credit hour(s) must:  Appear on the student’s Plan of Study, OR  Be research (592, 792), thesis (599), dissertation (799), or continuing registration (595, 695, 795), OR  Be a graduate-level course. Grades of “W” and/or “X” are not considered valid registration for continuous enrollment purposes. “W” grades are received when students officially withdraw from a course after the drop/add period. “X” grades are received for audit courses. Additionally, students completing work for a course in which they received a grade of “I” must maintain continuous enrollment as defined previously. Graduate students have one year to complete work for an incomplete grade; if the work is not complete and the grade changed within one year, the “I” grade becomes permanent. Additional information regarding incomplete grades can be found at asu.edu/aad/manuals/ssm/ssm203-09.html. Graduate Assistantships All Graduate Teaching Assistants and Associates (TAs), and Graduate Research Assistants and Associates (RAs) must register for a minimum of six semester hours of appropriate credit during each academic term of their appointment. The six hours cannot include audit enrollment. Academic units may have specific requirements regarding Graduate Assistants; students should consult with their degree program unit. TAs and RAs are treated as residents for tuition purposes. To be eligible for tuition remission, TAs and RAs must be employed a minimum of 10 hours per week (25 percent Full Time Equivalency {FTE}). TAs/RAs working 10-19 hours per week (25-49 percent FTE) receive a 50 percent remission of tuition for the semester or summer session of their employment. TAs/RAs working 20 hours per week (50 percent FTE) do not pay tuition during the semester or summer session of their employment. In addition, the university pays the individual health insurance premium for those TAs and RAs working 20 hours per week (50 percent FTE). Due to federal regulations, international students on F-1 and J-1 visas are allowed to work a maximum of 20 hours per week while school is in session (fall and spring semesters). International students are allowed to work 40 hours per week during summer sessions. International students typically are not allowed to seek employment outside the university; students must consult with the International Student and Scholars Office (ISSO). Detailed information and application procedures regarding Graduate Assistantships can be found at graduate.asu.edu/financing/tara. Request to Maintain Continuous Enrollment Graduate students planning to discontinue registration for a semester or more must submit a Request to Maintain Continuous Enrollment form. This request must be submitted and approved before the anticipated semester of non-registration. Students may request to maintain continuous enrollment without course registration for a maximum of two semesters during their entire program. A Graduate Education approved Request to Maintain Continuous Enrollment will enable students to re-enter their program without re-applying to the university. Students who do not register for a fall or spring semester without an approved Request are considered withdrawn from the university under the assumption that they have decided to discontinue their program. Students removed for this reason may reapply for admission to resume their degree program; the application will be considered along with all other new applications to the degree program. Revised 8/1/2013. The most current pdf version of the ASU Graduate Policies and Procedures can be found at: graduate.asu.edu/faculty_staff/policies Academic Catalog Archive 2013-2014 141 9 A student with a Graduate Education approved Request to Maintain Continuous Enrollment is not required to pay tuition and/or fees, but in turn is not permitted to place any demands on university faculty or use any university resources. These resources include university libraries, laboratories, recreation facilities or faculty time. Voluntary Withdrawal from ASU If a student wishes to withdraw from his/her graduate degree program and the university, they must complete the Voluntary Withdrawal form. Students must separately complete the appropriate forms with the University Registrar to withdraw from their courses. International students should contact the International Student and Scholars Office (ISSO) before submitting a Voluntary Withdrawal form, as it most likely will affect their visa status. Voluntary Withdrawal from a Graduate Degree Program If a student wishes to transition from one graduate degree program to another graduate degree program, the student should complete the Voluntary Withdrawal form. The student should not take this action until they have been admitted to the other graduate degree program. Other Types of Withdrawal There are appropriate circumstances when students may need to withdraw from the university (i.e. medical withdrawal, compassionate leave). The policies for such withdrawals are the same for both undergraduate and graduate students. Types of withdrawals and procedures can be found at: students.asu.edu/withdrawal. For course withdrawals contact the University Registrar’s Office. Involuntary Withdrawal by the office for Graduate Education Any student who does not comply with the office for Graduate Education policies may be withdrawn from their graduate program after review by the Vice Provost for Graduate Education. In addition, an academic unit may recommend withdrawal of a student from a graduate program for lack of compliance with published departmental policies or lack of satisfactory academic progress. All such recommendations must be submitted to the office for Graduate Education with appropriate documentation (e.g., nature of issue, communications with student). Only the Vice Provost for Graduate Education may withdraw a student from a graduate program due to lack of compliance with satisfactory academic progress policies. A student who has been withdrawn from a graduate program due to lack of compliance with published departmental or Graduate Education policies, or lack of satisfactory academic progress is eligible to apply for admission to the same program only after one year has passed from the term of the withdrawal.

The most current pdf version of the ASU Graduate Policies and Procedures can be found at: graduate.asu.edu/faculty_staff/policies Academic Catalog Archive 2013-2014 142 10 Academic Progress Grade Point Averages Graduate students must maintain a minimum 3.00 grade point average (GPA) to maintain satisfactory academic progress and to graduate. The minimum 3.00 GPA must be maintained on both the Plan of Study (iPOS) GPA and the Graduate GPA.  The iPOS GPA is calculated on all courses that appear on the student’s approved iPOS.  The Graduate GPA is calculated on all courses numbered 500 or higher that appear on the transcript, with the exception of: o Courses counted toward an undergraduate degree at ASU (unless shared with a master’s degree in an approved bachelor’s/master’s degree program); o Courses identified as deficiencies in the original letter of admission. Transfer credits and some courses taken in the Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law are not calculated on the iPOS GPA or the Graduate GPA. Courses with grades of “D” (1.00) and “E” (0.00) cannot appear on the iPOS but will be included when calculating the Graduate GPA. Courses with an “I” grade cannot appear on the iPOS. Satisfactory Academic Progress All graduate students are expected to make systematic progress toward completion of their degree. This progress includes satisfying the conditions listed below, and achieving the benchmarks and requirements set by the individual degree programs. Each degree program should have in place policies for satisfactory academic progress. Students are responsible for verifying additional satisfactory progress policies as required by their degree program. If a student fails to satisfy the requirements of their degree program and/or the benchmarks outlined below, the student may be dismissed from their program based on the academic unit’s recommendation to the office for Graduate Education. The Vice Provost for Graduate Education makes the final determination. 1. Maintain a minimum of 3.00 GPA on both the iPOS and Graduate GPAs. If either GPA falls below 3.00, the student must develop, with their advisor, an academic performance improvement plan that includes the conditions and timeframes for making satisfactory academic progress in their degree program. a. The iPOS GPA is calculated from all courses that appear on the student’s approved iPOS. b. The Graduate GPA is calculated from all courses numbered 500 or higher that appear on the transcript, with the exception of courses counted toward an undergraduate degree at ASU (unless shared with a master’s degree in an approved bachelor’s/master’s degree program); and courses identified as deficiencies in the original letter of admission. The student is considered to be on academic probation until the conditions specified in the academic performance improvement plan are met and both GPAs are above 3.00. 2. Satisfy all requirements of the graduate degree program. 3. Satisfy the maximum time limit for graduation from the student’s graduate degree program (six years for master’s, ten years for doctoral). 4. Doctoral students must comply with the five year time limit for graduation after passing the comprehensive examinations. 5. Successfully pass comprehensive exams, qualifying exams, foreign language exams, and the oral defense of the proposal/prospectus for the thesis or dissertation. Revised 8/1/2013. The most current pdf version of the ASU Graduate Policies and Procedures can be found at: graduate.asu.edu/faculty_staff/policies Academic Catalog Archive 2013-2014 143 11 6. Successfully complete the culminating experience and, if required, the oral defense of the culminating experience. 7. Graduate students must stay continuously enrolled in their degree program. Failing to do so without a Graduate Education approved Request to Maintain Continuous Enrollment is considered to be lack of academic progress and may lead to automatic dismissal of the student from the degree program. Persistent “W” and “I” grades during multiple semesters on a plan of study or transcript may reflect lack of academic progress. Graduate Degree Requirements Determination of Academic Requirements Students graduate under the degree requirements and policies in effect at the semester and year of admission to a graduate degree program. Students that fail to maintain continuous enrollment and are re-admitted to the degree program, graduate under the degree requirements and policies in effect at the time of the new admission date. A minimum of 30 credit hours of graduate-level coursework including a culminating experience is required for a master’s degree, although individual programs may have higher requirements. The culminating experience may be a comprehensive examination, a capstone course, an applied project, a portfolio, a thesis or equivalent. Students that have a capstone course requirement must receive a grade of “B” or better. If a student fails to achieve a capstone final grade of “B” or better, they must retake the course. A minimum of 84 credit hours of graduate-level coursework and a written comprehensive examination are required for a doctoral degree, although individual programs may have higher requirements. Additionally, the Foreign Language Examination, oral comprehensive examination and/or dissertation or equivalent may be required. A written comprehensive examination and prospectus (research proposal) is required for all programs requiring a dissertation. The Plan of Study (iPOS) The Plan of Study (iPOS) functions as a contract between the student, the academic unit, and the office for Graduate Education. The iPOS contains certain degree requirements such as coursework, a committee and a culminating experience which must be included before it can be approved. The academic unit’s graduate support staff should be the primary contact regarding iPOS and degree requirements. The iPOS must be approved by a student’s committee, the head of the academic unit, and the Vice Provost for Graduate Education. To facilitate degree completion and shorten time to degree, graduate students with regular status must submit their iPOS by the time they have enrolled for 50 percent of the minimum credit hours required for their degree program. Coursework Graduate-level courses are those numbered 500 or higher. All core courses required by a graduate program must be at least 500-level. A maximum of 6 credit hours of 400-level coursework can be included on an iPOS. 400-level courses taken prior to admission and 400-level courses graded as “Pass/Fail” are not acceptable. Courses with grades of “D”, “E”, or “W” and audited courses (graded as “X”) cannot be included on an iPOS. Courses applied to a previously awarded degree cannot be included on an iPOS. Revised 8/1/2013. The most current pdf version of the ASU Graduate Policies and Procedures can be found at: graduate.asu.edu/faculty_staff/policies Academic Catalog Archive 2013-2014 144 12 Any course with a grade of Incomplete (“I”) must be completed within one calendar year of the end of the scheduled course. If a regular grade is not assigned within the calendar year, the “I” becomes permanent. The student will have to re-register for the course to receive credit. Additional information regarding incomplete grades may be found at asu.edu/aad/manuals/ssm/ssm203-09.html. Graduate students may register to audit one or more courses with the approval of the supervisory committee chair and the consent of the instructor involved. An audited course does not count toward the minimum number of credits required for international students with visa restrictions, students employed as TA/RAs, or students receiving financial assistance. Courses taken for audit do not satisfy the Graduate Education continuous enrollment policy. Undergraduate courses not included on the iPOS do not satisfy the Graduate Education continuous enrollment policy. Master’s degree students whose culminating experience is a thesis must include 6 (and only 6) credit hours of 599 Thesis credits on the iPOS. Doctoral students whose culminating experience is a dissertation must include 12 (and only 12) credit hours of 799 Dissertation credits on the iPOS. Thesis and Dissertation credit hours may only receive grades of “Z” (research is in progress), or “Y” (research is satisfactorily complete). Doctoral students may apply 30 credit hours of appropriate coursework from a previously awarded master’s degree toward their doctoral plan of study. Petitions A formal request for an exception to the office for Graduate Education policy requires a petition to be completed by the student, and approved by the committee chair and the head of the academic unit. The office for Graduate Education will review the petition and make a final determination. ASU Pre-Admission Credit Pre-Admission Credits Credit hours completed at ASU or from another regionally accredited US institution or international institution officially recognized by that country, before the semester and year of admission to an ASU graduate degree program, are considered pre-admission credits. With the approval of the degree program and the Graduate Education office, students may include a maximum of 12 graduate-level credit hours with grades of “B” or better that were not used towards a previous degree. Preadmission credits must have been taken within three years of admission to the ASU degree program to be accepted. Accelerated Bachelor’s/Master’s programs may use a maximum of 12 pre-admission credits which may include up to a maximum of 12 hours shared between the Bachelor’s and Master’s program. Students in accelerated programs should contact their advisor to ensure proper sharing of credit hours. Official transcripts must be sent to Graduate Enrollment Services from the records office of the institution where the credits were earned. Certain types of graduate credits cannot be transferred to ASU, including credits awarded:  By post-secondary institutions that lack candidate status or accreditation by a regional accrediting association, or an equivalent international institution.  For life experience.  For courses taken at non-collegiate institutions (e.g., government agencies, corporations, and industrial firms). Revised 8/1/2013. The most current pdf version of the ASU Graduate Policies and Procedures can be found at: graduate.asu.edu/faculty_staff/policies Academic Catalog Archive 2013-2014 145 13  For courses, workshops, and seminars offered by other postsecondary institutions as part of continuing education programs.  For extension courses. Academic credits earned at institutions other than ASU that base their credit calculation on a different scale from ASU’s are subject to conversion before inclusion on a Plan of Study. In all cases, the inclusion of transfer courses on a Plan of Study is subject to approval by the degree program and the Vice Provost for Graduate Education. Graduate Credits Earned by ASU Undergraduate Students Pre-admission credit hours earned in graduate-level courses (per Graduate Education policy) by ASU undergraduate students may count toward a graduate degree at ASU provided the credit hours have not been used toward a previously awarded degree. Prior to awarding a bachelor’s degree, ASU undergraduate students should contact their undergraduate advisor to set aside graduate courses for use toward a future graduate degree so that these courses do not count toward their undergraduate degree. ASU students enrolled in an approved Bachelor’s/Master’s degree program (commonly referred to as 4+1), may share ASU credit hours. Students must contact their ASU undergraduate advisor and graduate support staff to ensure proper sharing of credit hours. Students must successfully complete the undergraduate degree and be admitted to the respective graduate program prior to completing 12 credits of graduate coursework. An undergraduate degree and a graduate degree may not be awarded during the same term of enrollment. Students must apply, be admitted and registered as a graduate student to earn a master’s or doctoral degree at ASU. Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law Credit The office for Graduate Education accepts a numerical grade of 70 or above for courses taken in the ASU Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law as part of an approved Plan of Study. These grades are not used in the two GPAs calculated for graduation unless needed, as determined by the office for Graduate Education. The Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law also utilizes a letter grade system for coursework; letter grades are submitted as part of an approved Plan of Study and are calculated in the GPAs. Repeating ASU Courses Graduate students (degree or non-degree) may retake any course at ASU; however, all grades are part of the student’s permanent academic record and remain on the student transcript as well as in all GPA calculations. Graduate Foreign Language Examination (FLE) A graduate degree program may require at least a reading level proficiency of a foreign language relevant to the student’s area of study. Students who are required to demonstrate proficiency in a foreign language must pass the Graduate Foreign Language Examination specific to their particular graduate program. Students must be enrolled for a minimum of one credit hour during the term in which they take the examination. Students must successfully complete the Foreign Language Examination before taking any required comprehensive examinations or scheduling the final oral defense of the thesis or dissertation. A student may petition the office for Graduate Education for a re-examination but must pass the examination in no more than three attempts. Revised 8/1/2013.

A student is not eligible to schedule a comprehensive examination or defense without an approved iPOS. Master’s Degree Minimum Credit Hours A minimum of 30 semester hours of graduate work is required for the master’s degree at ASU. If a thesis is required, 6 (and only 6) of the minimum required credit hours on an iPOS must be 599 Thesis credits. Plans of Study submitted for master’s degrees that do not have a thesis requirement cannot include 599 Thesis credits. If an applied project is required, the Applied Project course (XXX 593) must be included on the Plan of Study and requires a grade of “B” or better. A “Y” grade is also permitted. Master’s Degree Maximum Time Limit All work toward a master’s degree must be completed within six consecutive years. The six years begins with the semester and year of admission to the program. Graduate courses taken prior to admission that are included on the Plan of Study must have been completed within three years of the semester and year of admission to the program. Master’s Degree Supervisory Committee A master’s supervisory committee must be appointed before the student may apply for the comprehensive examination or before the student can register for 599 Thesis credits (if applicable). The committee is appointed by the Vice Provost for Graduate Education upon the recommendation of the head of the academic unit. For programs requiring a thesis or written examination, the supervisory committee is comprised of a minimum of three members, including a chair or co-chairs. Tenured/tenure-track faculty may serve as members of a master’s graduate supervisory committee, chair or co-chair. The chair of the committee is typically from the student’s degree program and should be carefully selected by the student to guide their work. ASU academic professionals or non-tenure accruing faculty with appropriate academic credentials may serve as a member or co-chair on master’s committees; they may not serve as chair of a master’s supervisory committee. Master’s Thesis/Thesis Defense To satisfy the research requirement for master’s degrees, a student is expected to present a thesis that is defended in an oral examination. Degree programs may have requirements in addition to the thesis (e.g. comprehensive examinations). Students should check with their degree program to confirm requirements. An oral defense of the thesis is required and must be completed to the satisfaction of the supervisory committee. At least 50% of the committee must be physically present at the oral defense. Students must be physically present at the oral defense of their thesis. Students must be registered for:  At least one semester hour of credit that appears on the Plan of Study; OR  At least one semester hour of appropriate graduate-level credit, for example: Research (592), Thesis (599), or Continuing Registration (595 or 695); OR  At least one hour of a graduate-level course. Revisions to the thesis are typical and must be completed in a timely manner. If the student is unable to complete revisions to the thesis and submit to UMI/ProQuest by the deadline for the semester in which the Revised 8/1/2013. The most current pdf version of the ASU Graduate Policies and Procedures can be found at: graduate.asu.edu/faculty_staff/policies Academic Catalog Archive 2013-2014 147 15 defense is held, the student must complete the revisions, remain continuously enrolled, and present the final document to UMI/ProQuest within one year of the defense. Failure to do so will require the re-submission of the document for format review and may result in re-defense of the thesis to ensure currency of the research. Other Master’s Culminating Experiences A comprehensive examination, capstone course, applied project or portfolio is required as a culminating experience in master’s programs that do not have a thesis requirement. The office for Graduate Education requires a written component to the comprehensive examination; academic units may also require an oral component. Students must have an approved iPOS prior to scheduling their comprehensive examination and/or registering for their applied project or capstone course. An applied project requires registration in the Applied Projects course (XXX 593) and requires a grade of “B” or better. A capstone course requires a grade of “B” or better. Students are required to register for at least one semester hour of credit that appears on the iPOS or one hour of appropriate graduate-level credit during the fall, spring or summer session in which they complete their culminating experience. Master’s Comprehensive Examination Students must be in good academic standing regarding GPA requirements (see previous section titled “Satisfactory Academic Progress”) prior to taking master’s comprehensive examinations. Foreign language requirements, if applicable, must be fulfilled before taking the comprehensive examinations. Students are required to register for at least one semester hour of credit that appears on the iPOS or one hour of appropriate graduate-level credit during the fall, spring or summer session in which they take their comprehensive examinations. The master’s comprehensive examination must have a written component; however, individual master’s degree programs may require an additional oral component of the comprehensive exam for all of their students based on the academic progress policy of the program. The student must schedule the comprehensive examination with their academic unit. All comprehensive examination results must be reported to the office for Graduate Education immediately upon completion. Academic units are not required to allow students a second opportunity; upon failing comprehensive examinations, academic units may submit a recommendation to the office for Graduate Education requesting dismissal of the student from the degree program. Failing the comprehensive examination(s) is considered final unless the supervisory committee and the head of the academic unit recommend and the Vice Provost for Graduate Education approve a re-examination. Only one re-examination is permitted. A petition with substantial justification for re-examination, endorsed by the members of the student's supervisory committee and the head of the academic unit, must be approved by the Vice Provost for Graduate Education before a student can take the examination a second time. Re-examination may be administered no sooner than three months and no later than one year from the date of the original examination. The office for Graduate Education may withdraw a student from the degree program if the student's petition for re-examination is not approved, or if the student fails to successfully pass the retake of the comprehensive examination(s).

The most current pdf version of the ASU Graduate Policies and Procedures can be found at: graduate.asu.edu/faculty_staff/policies Academic Catalog Archive 2013-2014 148 16 Students choosing to appeal the results of their comprehensive examinations must follow the grade appeals process outlined by their academic unit. Doctorate Degree Doctoral Degree Plan of Study (iPOS) Students must submit an iPOS before completing 50 percent of the credit hours required for their degree program. A student is not eligible to apply for the Foreign Language Examination (if applicable), comprehensive examinations, dissertation proposal/prospectus or dissertation defense (if applicable) without an approved iPOS. Doctoral Degree Minimum Credit Hours A minimum of 84 semester hours of graduate work is required for the doctorate degree at ASU. If a dissertation is required, 12 (and only 12) of the minimum required credit hours on an iPOS must be 799 Dissertation credits. Plans of Study submitted for doctorate degrees that do not have a dissertation requirement cannot include 799 Dissertation credits. Students may apply 30 credit hours from a previously awarded master’s degree toward their doctoral Plan of Study with approval of the degree program and the Vice Provost for Graduate Education. Doctoral Degree Maximum Time Limit Doctoral students must complete all program requirements within a ten-year period. The ten-year period begins with the semester and year of admission to the doctoral program. Graduate courses taken prior to admission that are included on the iPOS must have been completed within three years of the semester and year of admission to the program (previously awarded master’s degrees used on the Plan of Study are exempt). Additionally, the student must defend the dissertation within five years after passing the comprehensive examinations. Therefore, the maximum time limit is the shortest of the following:  Time period since initial enrollment (10 year time limit); OR  Time after passing the comprehensive exams (5 year time limit). Any exception must be approved by the supervisory committee, the head of the academic unit and the Vice Provost for Graduate Education. If a time limit exception is approved, the student may need to re-take the comprehensive examinations. The office for Graduate Education may withdraw students who are unable to complete all degree requirements and graduate within the allowed maximum time limits. Doctoral Degree Supervisory Committee Upon the recommendation of the head of the academic unit, the Vice Provost for Graduate Education appoints the student’s dissertation committee. The committee must be comprised of at least three members, including either a chair or co-chairs. Doctoral programs may have additional requirements for committee composition. This committee serves as the intellectual guide for the student and must approve the research/scholarly focus and substance of the dissertation. The members of the dissertation committee have the necessary knowledge and skills to advise the student during the formulation of the research topic and during the completion of the research and the dissertation. Dissertation chairs and co-chairs must be approved by the Vice Provost for Graduate Education and each degree program maintains the list of faculty approved by the office for Graduate Education. Most resident faculty at ASU may serve on dissertation committees with the proviso that they have appropriate expertise in the discipline. Revised 8/1/2013. The most current pdf version of the ASU Graduate Policies and Procedures can be found at: graduate.asu.edu/faculty_staff/policies Academic Catalog Archive 2013-2014 149 17 All PhD programs have a Graduate Faculty. The Graduate Faculty in a PhD program may also include highly qualified individuals from outside the university who have been approved to serve on committees. Each PhD program maintains the list of faculty approved by the office for Graduate Education to chair or co-chair PhD dissertations. Additional information regarding ASU Graduate Faculty can be found at graduate.asu.edu/graduate_faculty_initiative. Doctoral students (including PhD, DMA, DBH, DNP and EdD) are urged to communicate with their academic unit to confirm eligibility of faculty to chair doctorate committees. The final committee membership must be appointed by the Vice Provost for Graduate Education before the student may apply for comprehensive examinations, defend the dissertation prospectus, and register for 799 Dissertation course credits (if applicable). Doctoral Comprehensive Examination Students must be in good academic standing regarding GPA requirements (see previous section titled “Satisfactory Academic Progress”) prior to taking doctoral comprehensive examinations. When students have essentially completed the coursework on an approved iPOS, they must request permission to take the doctoral comprehensive examination. The doctoral comprehensive examination must have a written component; however individual doctoral programs may require an additional subsequent oral component of the comprehensive exam for all of their students based on the academic progress policy of the program. These examination(s) are designed to assess a student's mastery of the field of specialization. Doctoral comprehensive examination(s) are administered by a committee consisting of a minimum of three members. Foreign language requirements, if applicable, must be satisfied before taking the comprehensive examination(s). During the fall, spring or summer session that the student takes the comprehensive examination(s), they are required to register for:  At least one semester hour of credit that appears on the Plan of Study; OR  At least one semester hour of appropriate graduate-level credit, for example: Research (792), Dissertation (799), or Continuing Registration (795); OR  At least one hour of a graduate-level course. All comprehensive examination results must be reported to the office for Graduate Education immediately upon completion. Academic units are not required to allow students a second opportunity; upon failing comprehensive examinations, academic units may submit a recommendation to the office for Graduate Education requesting dismissal of the student from the degree program. Failing the comprehensive examination(s) is considered final unless the supervisory committee and the head of the academic unit recommend and the Vice Provost for Graduate Education approve a re-examination. Only one re-examination is permitted. A petition with substantial justification for re-examination, endorsed by the members of the student's supervisory committee and the head of the academic unit, must be approved by the Vice Provost for Graduate Education before a student can take the examination a second time. Re-examination may be administered no sooner than three months and no later than one year from the date of the original examination. Graduate Education may withdraw a student from the degree program if the student's petition for re-examination is not approved, or if the student fails to successfully pass the retake of the comprehensive examination(s).

Doctoral Prospectus Defense All doctoral degree programs that require students to complete a dissertation must require students to complete a dissertation proposal/prospectus and submit the results to the office for Graduate Education. Failure of the doctoral dissertation prospectus oral defense is considered final unless the supervisory committee and the head of the academic unit recommend and the Vice Provost for Graduate Education approve a second proposal defense. If a petition is approved, the student must submit the new prospectus by the end of six months (the six months begins from the date that the first doctoral dissertation proposal defense was held). If the academic unit does not grant the student permission to retake the proposal defense, or if the student fails to pass the retake of the proposal defense, Graduate Education may withdraw the student from the degree program. Students are required to register for at least one semester hour of credit that appears on the iPOS or one hour of appropriate graduate-level credit during the fall, spring or summer session in which they conduct their doctoral prospectus. Doctoral Candidacy Doctoral students (with specific degree program exceptions approved by the Vice Provost for Graduate Education) achieve candidacy status upon the successful completion of the comprehensive examination(s), the Foreign Language Examination (if applicable), and successfully defending the dissertation prospectus (if applicable). Doctoral students who have been advanced to candidacy are required to maintain continuous enrollment until all degree requirements have been completed and the student graduated. Doctoral Dissertation/Dissertation Defense The written doctoral dissertation is based on an original and substantial scholarly work that constitutes a significant contribution to knowledge in the student’s discipline. The dissertation research must be conducted during the time of the student’s doctoral studies at ASU, under guidance of ASU Graduate Faculty, and in accordance with the office for Graduate Education policies and procedures. The composition of the dissertation is defined by the degree program with the approval of the Vice Provost for Graduate Education. The dissertation research experience culminates in a final oral exam, commonly known as the “dissertation defense.” A final public dissertation defense is required. At least 50% of the committee must be physically present at the oral defense. Students must be physically present at the oral defense of their dissertation. During the semester that the student defends the dissertation they are required to register for:  At least one semester hour of credit that appears on the Plan of Study; OR  At least one semester hour of appropriate graduate-level credit, for example: Research (792), Dissertation (799), or Continuing Registration (795); OR  At least one hour of a graduate-level course. Revisions to the dissertation are typical and must be completed in a timely manner. If the student is unable to complete revisions to the thesis and submit to UMI/ProQuest by the deadline for the semester in which the defense is held, the student must complete the revisions, remain continuously enrolled, and present the final document to UMI/ProQuest within one year of the defense. Failure to do so will require the re-submission of the document for format review and may result in re-defense of the dissertation to ensure currency of the research. Revised 8/1/2013.

Certificate Admission All applications for graduate certificate programs must be submitted through asu.edu/gradapp. Certificate Requirements A minimum of 15 semester hours of graduate work is required to complete a graduate certificate. No more than one-fifth (20 percent) of the minimum required credit hours for a graduate certificate may be transferred from another university. All transfer work must meet the office for Graduate Education transfer policies. All coursework used to complete an ASU graduate certificate must be completed within a six-year time limit. Courses at a 400-level may be allowed with prior approval from the appropriate certificate program; however, a minimum of two-thirds of the courses taken to complete the certificate must be at the 500-level or above. No more than 40% of coursework towards the requirements of a graduate certificate can be completed prior to admission to the certificate program. Awarding of a Graduate Certificate A student will be eligible for the official posting of the graduate certificate to their transcripts when all applicable coursework has been successfully completed and the office for Graduate Education scholarship requirements have been met. Students must submit an iPOS for the graduate certificate program, and apply for graduation. Concurrent Master’s Degrees A student may pursue concurrent master’s degrees with prior written approval from the head of the academic unit for each degree program and the office for Graduate Education. A separate online application is required for each degree program. A maximum of 20 percent of the minimum total semester hours for the completion of both degrees may be common hours shared between the Plans of Study. The total number of hours common to both degree programs may vary from this maximum value only when the office for Graduate Education has formally approved coordinated degree programs. Coursework common to both programs must constitute a well-planned and meaningful part of each of the programs and may only include coursework completed after admission to both degree programs. In all cases, the guidelines below must be followed: 1. The student must be enrolled in both programs each fall and spring semester to maintain continuous enrollment or must submit a Request to Maintain Continuous Enrollment form. A Graduate Education approved Request applies to both degree programs; students may not be registered for coursework in either program. 2. Graduate credit transferred from another institution may be applied toward only one degree program. 3. Culminating experiences (e.g. capstone courses, theses, applied projects) and comprehensive examinations cannot be shared between concurrent degree programs. 4.

A separate online application is required for each degree program. A maximum of 9 credit hours may be common hours shared between the Plans of Study. Coursework common to both programs must constitute a well-planned and meaningful part of each of the programs and may only include coursework completed after admission to both degree programs. In all cases, the guidelines below must be followed: 1. The student must be enrolled in both programs each fall and spring semester to maintain continuous enrollment or must submit a Request to Maintain Continuous Enrollment form. A Graduate Education approved Request applies to both degree programs; students may not be registered for coursework in either program. 2. Graduate credit transferred from another institution may be applied toward only one degree program. 3. Culminating experiences (e.g. capstone courses, theses, dissertations, applied projects) and comprehensive examinations cannot be shared between concurrent degree programs. 4. The maximum time limits for completing degree requirements and graduation apply to each concurrent degree individually (6 years for Master’s; 10 years or 5 years after comprehensive exams for doctoral). Concurrent Doctoral Degrees A student may pursue concurrent doctoral degrees provided the degree programs are in different academic areas with prior written approval from the head of the academic unit for each degree program and the office for Graduate Education. A maximum of 12 credit hours may be common hours shared between the Plans of Study. In all cases, the guidelines below must be followed: 1. The student must be enrolled in both programs each fall and spring semester to maintain continuous enrollment or must submit a Request to Maintain Continuous Enrollment form. A Graduate Education approved Request applies to both degree programs; students may not be registered for coursework in either program. 2.

The comprehensive examination, the dissertation prospectus, and the dissertation cannot be shared between concurrent degree programs. 4. The student must meet the 10 year maximum time limit and 5 year limit after comprehensive exams for each degree. Master’s in Passing (MIP) In those cases where there is an approved Master’s in Passing (MIP) program in place for a doctoral degree, those doctoral students who complete the requirements of the approved MIP may be awarded the related master’s degree. Students should check with their doctoral program to see if there is an approved Master’s in Passing for their degree. Students who include 30 hours from a previously awarded master’s degree on their doctoral Plan of Study are not eligible for a Master’s in Passing. All coursework included in an MIP Plan of Study must have been completed after the semester and year of admission to the doctoral program. Revised 8/1/2013. The most current pdf version of the ASU Graduate Policies and Procedures can be found at: graduate.asu.edu/faculty_staff/policies Academic Catalog Archive 2013-2014 153 21 Bachelor’s/Master’s Accelerated Programs In a limited number of pre-approved programs, ASU will allow for the simultaneous pursuit of an undergraduate and graduate degree. In such cases, the program must be approved by the Vice Provost for Graduate Education. The students must successfully complete the undergraduate degree and be admitted to the respective graduate program prior to completing 12 credits of graduate coursework. Students must contact their ASU undergraduate advisor and graduate support staff to ensure proper sharing of credit hours. Students may not share any credit hours taken as an undergraduate student unless they have been formally admitted to an approved accelerated program. Research Considerations The master’s thesis and doctoral dissertation (or equivalent) must be based on original and independent research/creative activity conducted by the student, under the guidance of the graduate supervisory committee. The thesis is an introduction to scholarly writing and is intended to create an understanding of theory and methods applicable to one’s field. The dissertation should demonstrate the candidate’s mastery of research and scholarly methodologies, theory, and tools of the discipline. Both the thesis and dissertation should demonstrate the candidate’s ability to address a major intellectual problem and to propose meaningful questions and hypotheses, as well as utilize the methods with which to study the proposed research question(s) and related hypotheses, and draw conclusions. Supervisory Committees Students are guided by faculty mentors who advise them through their degree program. Students should identify their advisors early in their graduate career and look to them for guidance in their graduate work. Once the student has selected a thesis/dissertation committee, the head of the academic unit recommends the supervisory committee to the Vice Provost for Graduate Education who reviews and appoints the Committee. Graduate supervisory committees must consist of a minimum of three individuals, including the chair or cochairs. Faculty Emeriti who meet Graduate Education criteria may serve as members or co-chairs on graduate supervisory committees. They may serve as chairs with the recommendation of the academic unit and approval of the Vice Provost for Graduate Education on a case by case basis. Qualified individuals outside the university, upon the recommendation of the head of the academic unit and approval of the office for Graduate Education, may serve as members of thesis and dissertation committees. All such requests must be submitted to the Vice Provost for Graduate Education for approval. Research Involving Human and Animal Subjects Theses or dissertations that make use of research involving human or animal subjects must include a statement indicating that the research has been approved by the appropriate university body. Research involving human subjects conducted under the auspices of Arizona State University is reviewed by the University Human Subjects Institutional Review Board (IRB) in compliance with federal regulations. Documents containing any data collection from human subjects require that applications be submitted to the ASU Office of Research Integrity and Assurance for approval before data collection or recruitment of subjects is initiated at researchintegrity.asu.edu/humans. Research involving the use of animals conducted under the auspices of Arizona State University is reviewed by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) in compliance with federal regulations. Documents Revised 8/1/2013. The most current pdf version of the ASU Graduate Policies and Procedures can be found at: graduate.asu.edu/faculty_staff/policies Academic Catalog Archive 2013-2014 154 22 containing any data collection from animal research require that applications be submitted to ASU Office of Research Integrity and Assurance for approval at researchintegrity.asu.edu/animals. It is very important that students check with their thesis/dissertation advisor well in advance of data collection to ensure compliance with university regulations regarding the collection of research data. Thesis/Dissertation Defenses Thesis and dissertation defenses are open to all members of the university community and the general public. The oral defense engages the supervisory committee and the candidate in a critical and analytical discussion of the research and findings of the study, as well as a review of the contribution of the research topic to advancing knowledge in that discipline. The presentation of a thesis or dissertation defense in an open forum fosters a broader awareness of the state of graduate research at ASU, promotes a wider scholarly dialogue among disciplines, and recognizes publicly the scholarly contributions of master’s or doctoral candidates. Defenses must be scheduled through MyASU at least 10 working days in advance of the defense date. It is expected that oral defenses will be held on an ASU campus during regular business hours in order to facilitate student, faculty, and public accessibility. When there are sound educational reasons for holding a defense under different circumstances, contact the office for Graduate Education for approval before scheduling the defense. Students must be physically present at the oral defense of their thesis, dissertation or equivalent document. If, due to unforeseen circumstances, they cannot be physically present, then the oral defense must be rescheduled to another date when they can be physically present. It is desirable that all members of a student’s supervisory committee be physically present with the student at the final oral defense of a thesis or dissertation. However, there are situations (e.g. faculty travel, faculty emergencies and/or faculty leave) that may necessitate holding a defense with one or more committee member(s) absent. In all cases at least 50% of the committee must be physically present. If a committee member cannot physically attend, they can tele/video conference, or they can appoint a substitute to attend in their place. The substitute should be a regular faculty member with the academic unit. The supervisory committee chair must be physically present; if there are two co-chairs, one of them may tele/video conference if needed. In either case, please email grad-ges@asu.edu with the student’s ID number and the name of the tele/videoconferencing member or with the names of the member who will be absent and the faculty member who will attend as a substitute. This information must be submitted before the defense. Degree Completion The final culminating experiences for graduate degrees vary by program. In many master’s degree programs a thesis is required, in other programs the culminating experience is an applied or professional project. In all PhD programs, as well as in most professional doctoral programs, dissertations are required. Theses and dissertations are officially documented and archived. Theses and dissertations are submitted to UMI/ProQuest, which makes their content available to the public. Information on the dissertation later appears in Dissertation Abstracts International. For this reason, all theses and dissertations must undergo Graduate Education format review. The Vice Provost for Graduate Education reviews the content to affirm the quality and originality of the scholarly work. Scheduling a Defense and Format Review At least 10 working days prior to the planned defense of a thesis, dissertation or equivalent, students schedule the defense through their MyASU. See Graduation Deadlines. Students work with their supervisory committee and the academic unit’s graduate support staff to identify a suitable date and reserve a room. When a defense Revised 8/1/2013. The most current pdf version of the ASU Graduate Policies and Procedures can be found at: graduate.asu.edu/faculty_staff/policies Academic Catalog Archive 2013-2014 155 23 date and location have been identified and the defense has been scheduled through MyASU, students submit a complete draft copy of the thesis/dissertation to be defended via email to gradformat@asu.edu. The defense will be published on the Graduate Education Master’s/Doctoral Defense Schedule website that updates every Monday. The Format Manual is a comprehensive guide to formatting a thesis, dissertation or equivalent document and it always overrides a Style Guide if the two conflict. Students must use the Format Manual to prepare their thesis/dissertation. Questions regarding the Format Manual requirements should be directed to gradformat@asu.edu. The Graduate Education’s Formatting Tool uses the Format Manual guidelines to generate a template into which you insert your document's text. The formatting tool is designed to help students with the basic format requirements such as margins and spacing, and greatly improves the format review process for students. UMI/ProQuest Submission Students are required to create a new user account specific to the submission of their document and must use their ASU email address. UMI/ProQuest requires all students to submit a PDF version of their final document. The ASU office for Graduate Education requires that the PDF document is in compliance with the formatting standards presented in the format manual. Students will receive final format approval only after the submitted PDF document has successfully passed a format review. Students have an opportunity to order bound copies of their document for themselves through UMI/ProQuest. Graduation Students must apply for graduation through MyASU in accordance with the University Registrar policies. See Application for Graduation. Students must meet all University and Graduate Education degree requirements prior to the conferral of their degree. The graduation deadlines and procedures are set by the office for Graduate Education and are available online at graduate.asu.edu/progress/graduation_deadlines. Deadline dates vary slightly depending on the calendar year, so students should check them carefully in advance of the semester they plan to defend their thesis/dissertation. It is very important that students become familiar with these deadlines so that graduation can occur during the expected term. Graduate Student Appeals The Graduate Council Appeals Board (GCAB) serves as the appeals body for graduate students seeking redress on procedural issues related to academic decisions regarding their graduate programs. Before initiating an appeal, the graduate student must fully utilize any and all other appeal and review processes available in the student’s program, academic unit or college/school. The GCAB will not entertain any appeals until the graduate student has exhausted all other appropriate appeal procedures. The GCAB reviews written appeals of graduate students concerning:  Procedural matters in graduate student programs (e.g., procedures related to Plans of Study, satisfactory academic progress, theses, dissertations, and preliminary, qualifying or comprehensive exams).  Academic issues that are not covered by other university policies or processes. Revised 8/1/2013. The most current pdf version of the ASU Graduate Policies and Procedures can be found at: graduate.asu.edu/faculty_staff/policies Academic Catalog Archive 2013-2014 156 24 The GCAB does not review appeals pertaining to the following areas because these appeals are heard by other university bodies (see parentheses below):  Course grades (subject to review by the academic unit and college/school).  Results of capstone experiences, preliminary, comprehensive and qualifying examinations and defenses (subject to review by the academic unit and college/school).  Recommended dismissal by a program or academic unit due to lack of satisfactory academic progress (subject to review by the academic unit and college/school).  Allegations of academic dishonesty (subject to review under the ASU Student Academic Integrity Policy located at provost.asu.edu/academicintegrity/policy).  Allegations of scientific misconduct (subject to review under ASU policy RSP 210 [“Misconduct in Research”] in the Research and Sponsored Projects Policy and Procedures Manual).  Allegations of discrimination (subject to review by the ASU Office of Equity and Inclusion).

Undergraduate Policies Academic Integrity Academic Dishonesty The faculty of the W. P. Carey School of Business follow the guidelines in the student academic integrity policy on academic dishonesty. A copy of the policy may be obtained online at https://provost.asu.edu/index.php?q=academicintegrity [2]. The W. P. Carey School of Business honor code may be found online at https://my.wpcarey.asu.edu/academic-integrity/code-ofconduct.cfm [3]. Academic Standing Probation All business students, freshman through senior, must maintain a minimum 2.00 GPA for all courses completed at ASU. If this standard is not maintained, the student is placed on probation. Students on probation must see an advisor before further registration and must do one of the following: 1. 2. Raise the ASU cumulative GPA to 2.00 or higher in order to return to academic good standing. Obtain a semester GPA of 2.50 with no grade lower than a "C" in order to be granted one additional semester on continued probation. At the end of continued probation, the student must return to academic good standing (a minimum cumulative ASU GPA of 2.00) to avoid disqualification. Disqualification Students who do not meet probation requirements are academically disqualified. Disqualified students should meet with their academic advisors. These students may attend ASU during the summer session immediately following disqualification only. Advising W. P.

P. Carey School of Business undergraduate programs office at 480-965-4227. Credit/Registration Pass/Fail Business majors may not enroll on a pass/fail basis for any course required for graduation. Pass/fail credits taken at another institution may be petitioned for use, but only if the student can demonstrate proof that the pass grade was equivalent to a "C" (2.00) or higher. Transfer Credit Credit from other institutions is accepted subject to the following guidelines: Students planning to take their first two years of work at a community college or another four-year college should take only those courses in business and economics that are offered as freshman- or sophomore-level courses at any of the state-supported Arizona universities. These lower-division courses are numbered 100 through 299. A maximum of 30 hours of business and economics courses from community colleges are accepted toward a bachelor's in business. Students may transfer up to nine credit hours of approved upper-division business course work required for the business degree to ASU. Upper-division business courses taught in the junior or senior year in the state universities may not be completed at a two-year college for transfer credit in the business core or major. Such courses may be utilized in the free elective category subject to the 30hour limitation. Courses taught as vocational or career classes at the community colleges that are not taught in the schools of business at any one of the state universities are not accepted for credit toward a bachelor's. Courses taught in the upper-division business core at the state universities must be completed at the degree-granting institution unless transferred from an accredited four-year school. Normally, upper-division business course transfer credits are accepted only from AACSB International-accredited schools. To be accepted for credit as part of a degree program in business, all courses transferred from other institutions must carry prerequisites similar to those of the courses they are replacing at ASU. Degree Requirements Critical Requirements All business students must meet the critical requirements for their majors. Students who are required to follow Sun Devil Tracking requirements and do not comply with the critical requirements are off track and have a hold placed on their records. These students must meet with an advisor to have their hold removed. For more information, visit https://my.wpcarey.asu.edu/undergrad/advising/tracking.cfm [6]. Reinstatement/Readmission Students seeking readmission after an absence from the university should contact the undergraduate programs office, in BA 109, regarding policies and procedures. Other Special Requirements Major Proficiency Requirements Academic Catalog Archive 2013-2014 160 Students must receive grades of “C” (2.00) or higher in upper-division courses for the major. If a student receives a grade below “C” (2.00) in any course in the major, this course must be repeated. If a second grade below “C” (2.00) is received in either an upperdivision course in the major already taken or in a different upper-division course in the major, the student is no longer eligible to take additional upper-division courses in that major. Student Appeal Procedure on Grades W. P. Carey School of Business students follow the university policy for student appeal procedure on grades, which may be found online at https://catalog.asu.edu/appeal [7]. Admission Because of the additional requirements for the BS, students who do not meet minimum admission standards will automatically be considered for the BA in the W.P. Carey School of Business. Freshman admission requirements for the BA program are the same as the university's freshman admission requirements. Transfer students wanting to be placed in the BA program must have a 3.00 GPA for all transfer course work and a 3.00 GPA for all ASU course work and meet university transfer admission requirements. Graduate Policies All graduate students in the W. P. Carey School of Business are required to maintain a cumulative GPA of "B" (3.00). See individual graduate degree programs for specific requirements on satisfactory academic progress, probation and disqualification. Advising Advising of graduate students is normally handled by graduate faculty members. Once admitted, students can request a temporary faculty advisor in a potential area of concentration in order to prepare a plan of study. Students are encouraged to begin discussions with faculty members early in their studies so course work can be geared toward supporting their academic progress. All students, whether in a thesis or nonthesis option, must file a plan of study. Students must fulfill all requirements of their individual graduate programs to remain in good academic standing and abide by all university policies including the Graduate College and the W. P. Carey School of Business.

The Herberger Institute recommends students contact the office of student success at 480-965-4495 to obtain the most current information on college policies. The Herberger advising staff are available to assist with any questions regarding the institute's policies. Undergraduate Policies Academic Integrity Academic Catalog Archive 2013-2014 161 Academic honesty is expected of all students in all examinations, papers, academic transactions and records. The possible sanctions include, but are not limited to: appropriate grade penalties, loss of registration privileges, disqualification and dismissal. The Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts strictly adheres to the ASU student academic integrity policy. Information about the policy can be found at http://provost.asu.edu/academicintegrity [1]. Academic Standing Probation A student in any of the institute's degree programs is placed on probation when he or she fails to maintain a cumulative GPA of 2.00. Students on probation must observe rules or limitations the institute imposes on their probation as a condition of retention. All Herberger Institute students who are placed on academic probation are required to attend mandatory advising appointments in an effort to help them improve their academic standing. Students are required to complete an academic success contract with their advisor to discuss campus academic resources, plan semester goals and discuss strategies to attain academic success. These meetings continue until the student earns a cumulative GPA of 2.00 or higher. Disqualification If the overall GPA is not at the required level and the conditions of probation have not been met after one semester on probation, the student is disqualified for a minimum of two full academic semesters. Disqualification is exercised at the discretion of the institute and becomes effective on the first day of the fall or spring semester following institute action. A disqualified student is notified by the Office of the Registrar or the dean of the institute and is not allowed to register for a fall or spring semester at the university until reinstated. Reinstatement Students who leave the university for a semester or more while on academic probation are not automatically readmitted. Such students, and all disqualified students, should contact the Herberger office of student success regarding procedures and guidance for reinstatement and returning to academic good standing. Disqualified students may attend summer sessions at ASU to raise their cumulative GPA. If a 2.00 or higher cumulative GPA is achieved upon completion of summer course work, the student may petition the institute for early reinstatement. Applications for readmission to ASU must be made to the university registrar's office. By following recommendations and meeting established standards for summer course work or course work completed at other institutions, the possibility of successful reinstatement is enhanced. All students who are academically disqualified or who are off track for two semesters should contact a Herberger advisor. Advisors provide transitional advising for students who must choose another major. Also available in the student success office is information on the college policies and procedures for student grievances with respect to grades and various petitions regarding standards and graduation requirements. Advising Undergraduate academic advising is handled as a centralized activity within the institute. Students are encouraged to make appointments through the Herberger Institute office of student success. For more information, visit the advising website: http://herbergerinstitute.asu.edu/students/undergrad/advising.php [2]. While the institute provides academic advising, it is ultimately the responsibility of each student to fulfill academic and program requirements. Administration of program requirements is the responsibility of the head of the academic unit and the dean. Credit/Registration Course Load First-semester freshmen and entering transfer students are not permitted to register for more than 18 credit hours in the initial 15week semester or nine credit hours in Term A and nine credit hours in Term B. Other students who wish to register for more than 18 hours must meet the academic criteria for an overload petition and work with their academic advisor in the Herberger office of student success. Any petition for an overload in excess of 21 hours (or more than 10 hours in either Term A or B) must be presented to the assistant dean for student success. No student should assume that his or her petition for overload will be granted. Academic Catalog Archive 2013-2014 162 For summer sessions, the maximum course load is 14 credit hours, seven per six-week summer session. Overloads are rarely granted for these sessions, and requests must be petitioned to the Herberger office of student success. Audit Grade Option Students may choose to audit courses in which they attend regularly scheduled class sessions but earn no credit. Students should obtain instructor approval before registering for the courses. Note: This grade option may not be changed after the drop/add period. Pass/Fail or Credit/No Credit The only courses accepted toward graduation with a grade of pass/fail or credit/no credit are courses designated by the academic unit as such, or internships and field studies. Transfer Credits While the university accepts credits transferred from other accredited institutions, transfer course work must be equivalent in content and level of offering. Arts or design transfer credits are not applied to specific degree programs until reviewed and accepted by the appropriate academic units. Students who change majors to transfer into the institute or one of its program areas must have a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.50. A student wishing to enter a major that requires an audition, interview, milestone or portfolio review may be required to successfully complete this requirement before changing their major. Any student transferring to art, dance, music or theatre and film must complete a creative review to enter most majors, and some arts transfer credit will not be evaluated until after successful completion of the creative review. The design school requires a review of samples of work (portfolio format) from previous studio classes to evaluate transfer studio credits. Incompletes Students are responsible for contacting their course instructors regarding the process of requesting and fulfilling requests for an incomplete. The grade of "I" (incomplete) can only be given by an instructor when a student who is doing otherwise acceptable work is unable to complete a course (e.g., final exam or term paper) because of illness or other conditions beyond the student's control. Students must obtain the official form to request a grade of incomplete at http://students.asu.edu/forms/incomplete-graderequest [3]. A completed form must include a justification, a listing of requirements that have not been fulfilled and a proposed schedule of completion. The instructor will review the request and determine whether to accept or deny the request. If accepted, the instructor may propose modifications, if necessary, and submit a copy of the request to the appropriate office. An incomplete in any course that is a prerequisite for sequential courses automatically denies enrollment in subsequent courses or could result in the student being administratively dropped from a subsequent course if the student has already enrolled. The student has one calendar year from the date the grade of "I" is recorded to complete the course. A student does not reregister or pay fees for a course for which an "I" has been received in order to complete the course. Grades of "I" for undergraduate course work that have been on a student's record for more than one calendar year will be automatically changed to a grade of "E." Withdrawals University withdrawal regulations apply to all courses. In addition, because the institute's curricula are modular and sequential and because space in the programs is limited, a student is expected to progress through the curriculum with his or her class. Degree Requirements Critical Requirements All Herberger students must meet the program and critical requirements for their majors. A student who does not comply with the critical requirements is off track and will have a hold placed on their record, and the student will be required to meet with a Herberger academic advisor to have the hold removed. For more information, please review your major map accordingly. Concurrent Degrees Academic Catalog Archive 2013-2014 163 Students who wish to obtain concurrent degrees must submit a standards committee petition to the undergraduate curriculum committee after successfully meeting the following criteria: minimum 3.00 cumulative GPA, successful completion of 12 credit hours in both programs, and successful admission into both intended programs of study. Students must complete a minimum of 24 unique credits between both programs. Change of Major Current ASU students who wish to change majors to one of the institute's degrees must have a cumulative ASU GPA of 2.50 or higher. Students wishing to enter a major that requires an audition, interview, milestone or portfolio review may be required to successfully complete this requirement before changing their major. For more information about critical requirements, please refer to the corresponding Major Map. Within the design school, students who have passed the milestone are placed on probation when any of the following occurs: • • • • • admitted to the milestone with deficiencies in course requirements received an incomplete, failure or withdrawal from any required course earned a semester GPA below 3.00 received a grade of "D" (1.00) or "E" (0.00) in a design studio, a design laboratory or a design lecture violated the university's Student Code of Conduct or any admission agreement Students on probation must observe rules or limitations that the institute or academic unit places on their probation as a condition of continuation. Students may be removed from a program (but not necessarily from the university) when any of the following occurs: • • • • The requirements imposed are not met or the probationary semester GPA is below 3.00 after one semester on probation. Failures or withdrawals in required courses are not resolved at the next offering of the course. Failures or withdrawals from required sequential courses. Incompletes in required sequential courses are not completed before the first day of class of the next semester. A student removed from a program is not guaranteed reinstatement to the program even if probation requirements or requirements placed on readmission are fulfilled. Appeals may be made first to the appropriate academic unit and, if necessary, to the Herberger Institute curriculum committee. For more information, contact the Herberger office of student success or the design school. Reinstatement/Readmission Undergraduate degree-seeking students who previously attended ASU in the Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts but have not been enrolled at ASU for one or two consecutive fall or spring semesters are eligible to return through quick reentry. Students do not need to submit a new application or application fee, but must contact an academic advisor in their program for registration. Undergraduates who have been away from the university for three or more semesters and want to return to ASU in a Herberger Institute program are required to apply for readmission through the university registrar's office. • • • • • Readmission is only considered after a student has remained out of the Herberger Institute for a minimum of two semesters. A student is required to supply proof he or she is now capable of successfully completing courses in the discipline by the completion of at least 12 hours of appropriate course work with a GPA of 2.50 or higher. If the readmission request requires a change of major, then admission decisions are made by the college that offers the intended major. If a student seeks readmission to his or her previous Herberger Institute major and that major requires a creative review, a new review may be required. If readmission is approved within the Herberger Institute, the student will return with continued probation status in the appropriate degree program. Once readmitted, returning students are required to meet with a Herberger advisor before enrolling in courses at ASU. Academic Catalog Archive 2013-2014 164 Other special requirements Creative Reviews A creative review (audition, interview, milestone, portfolio submission) is required for entrance into most majors in the Herberger Institute. See http://herbergerinstitute.asu.edu/admissions/undergrad/applying/major.php [4] for details. Graduate Policies Graduate Advising Policies Advising is handled as a decentralized activity within the institute. To offer personalized attention, each academic unit establishes its own graduate advising procedures.

Fulton Schools of Engineering educate undergraduate and graduate engineering students, giving them the knowledge, skills and attitudes they need for success in technically oriented careers. The schools provide students with a range of educational opportunities by which they may achieve excellence in the major branches of engineering, computer science, informatics and construction management. The Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering take pride in their diversity, their economic and cultural heritages and in the quality of their graduates. The schools strive to be integral to the community they serve and a lifelong presence in the lives of those within their compass. The schools' educational and research programs are built around the following principles: entrepreneurship; use-inspired research and scholarship; a focus on the individual; intellectual fusion of unique and distinct disciplines; social embeddedness in the local, national and international community; and global engagement. For more information, see http://engineering.asu.edu [1]. Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering Aspirations Academic Catalog Archive 2013-2014 165 Graduates from any of the schools' programs will be technically sound. In addition to technical competency, the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering aspire to develop leaders who are well-read, well-spoken and knowledgeable about current business practices. To this end, the schools offer enhanced curricula, special courses and extracurricular activities to enrich the student's stay and to offer every student opportunities to achieve the schools' aspirations. All the programs within the schools are professional programs, and professionalism is an important component of all the curricula. The schools strive to help students understand and value the various aspects of professionalism, including ethical behavior, a desire for lifelong learning, the ability to communicate with others and an awareness of how the profession fits into and impacts society. As a first step in ethics, all students are expected to follow the student code of conduct and rules of academic integrity defined by the university as outlined at http://provost.asu.edu/academicintegrity [2]. Undergraduate Policies Academic Integrity Students enrolled in the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering are required to maintain high levels of integrity and honesty in their academic progress. The ASU student academic integrity policy is strictly enforced and followed. A student with an alleged violation is required to discuss the violation with the professor. A student charged with a violation of the student academic integrity policy will have the opportunity to appeal the charge and be heard by the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering standards hearing board, which provides recommendations to the dean or the dean's designee. The dean or dean's designee will review the recommendation and render a decision. If the decision is suspension or expulsion, the student may appeal to the Office of the Provost. Policy information is located at http://provost.asu.edu/academicintegrity [2]. The Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering have developed and enforce a number of academic standards. These standards are designed to support students and ensure the quality of the schools' graduates. Academic Standing Student Responsibilities Students need to make many decisions as they complete their degrees. While the schools and the university have a number of resources available (e.g., faculty, courses, advisors and tutors) to help with decision-making, students are expected to take responsibility for their decisions. Satisfactory Progress Students are expected to select and successfully complete courses that lead to the timely completion of their degrees. Students are said to be making satisfactory progress if they fulfill all of the following: • • • maintain acceptable GPAs enroll and complete critical tracking requirements complete courses each semester that are applicable to their degrees Students who are making satisfactory progress are said to be in good standing. Probation Some students do not make satisfactory progress, and these students generally need extra attention and resources to help them get back to academic good standing. Such students are placed on academic probation to help ensure they get the necessary help. There are many reasons why students fail to make satisfactory progress. Working with an academic advisor to plan a strategy for success is crucial. Students may be required to reduce their course loads (13 credit hours maximum), retake courses or even take courses outside of their programs, if these measures will help bring them back to academic good standing. To return to academic good standing in the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering, students with probation status need to earn a minimum semester GPA of 2.25 and earn a minimum cumulative ASU GPA of 2.00 at the end of the probation semester. If enrolled in only one course, a grade of "C+" (2.33) or better and a minimum cumulative ASU GPA of 2.00 is required to obtain academic good Academic Catalog Archive 2013-2014 166 standing. Students who meet either the semester GPA requirement or meet the cumulative ASU GPA requirement at the end of their first probationary semester may be continued on probation. Conditions for Probation A student is placed on probation status when specific academic expectations are not met. Some conditions trigger an automatic placement on probation whereas others trigger an automatic review of the student's case to determine if probation is warranted. When a probation review is triggered, the final decision and any conditions of probation are determined at the program level. Automatic probation is triggered by any of the following: • • two successive semesters with GPAs less than 2.00 an ASU cumulative GPA less than 2.00 Automatic review (borderline) is triggered by any one of the following: • • • a semester or summer session with a GPA less than or equal to 2.00 a cumulative GPA in the major of less than 2.00 a failure to complete any courses appropriate for the degree during each semester Courses completed during summer sessions are not used to reevaluate a student's fall semester probationary status. Ineligibility Students who are on academic probation and fail to meet the schools' retention standards become ineligible to continue working toward a degree within the schools. Ineligible students who cannot transfer to another program within ASU are designated as disqualified. Ineligibility occurs if the probationary student does any of the following: • • • does not attain a semester GPA of 2.25 or higher and has a cumulative GPA below 2.00 at the end of the probationary semester has already been on probation for two consecutive semesters fails to complete any courses appropriate for the degree during each semester Ineligible students are subject to the following limitations: • • Students who change colleges may not register for courses in the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering unless the courses are required by their new majors. Students who register for courses in the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering may be withdrawn from these courses any time during the semester they are registered. Ineligible students are encouraged to consider these options: • • • Students may be eligible to change their majors to other colleges if they have acceptable cumulative GPAs. The acceptable GPA level depends on the number of hours of completed course work. Students should contact their advisor to determine if they are eligible. Students may take nonengineering courses during summer sessions. Students may request a review of their status by contacting the office of academic and student affairs. Advising Successful completion of a program in the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering requires careful planning. While final responsibility for becoming familiar with and understanding academic degree requirements lies with each student, each program employs professional academic advisors who work with students in setting academic and career goals, understanding school and university Academic Catalog Archive 2013-2014 167 policies and procedures, meeting degree requirements and becoming familiar with the university's and the school's sources of academic support. Students may also work with faculty advisors familiar with the chosen fields of specialization. Students should consult with their advisors prior to registering each semester. A list of program advisors can be viewed at http://engineering.asu.edu/advising [3]. Students are encouraged to use the eAdvisor tool for academic planning. This service provides critical requirements and major maps, which are individualized student reports that lay out a specific, clear and accurate path to timely completion of each student's intended degree. Access eAdvisor at http://eadvisor.asu.edu [4]. Many students find it necessary to work while attending ASU. The working student should endeavor to create a careful balance of work and class responsibilities to avoid academic problems. Students should inform their academic advisors of any outside work or activity so that course loads may be adjusted accordingly. Staff in the office of academic and student affairs in the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering are available to assist individual students with many different types of advising issues. They work with students to answer general questions about policies and procedures; help with registration transactions; administer the probation, disqualification and readmission processes; oversee disciplinary actions; hear grade grievances; and assist with other administrative matters. Mandatory Advising All first-year students, student athletes and students who are found to be having academic difficulty are required to be advised before they can register for classes, including summer sessions classes. Some programs relax the advising requirement after the first year, so students should consult their academic advisor or review the My Tasks list in My ASU to determine if advising is required. Credit/Registration Students are required to register for courses using one of the university-provided processes. As part of the registration process, the school enforces the following registration restrictions: Maximum Hours Students enrolled in undergraduate degree programs in the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering may register for a maximum of 19 credit hours per semester. Any student wanting to register for more than the maximum must submit a college standards petition and have an approval on file prior to registering for the overload. Probationary Status Students who have been placed on academic probation must meet with their academic advisors and complete their probation success plans. The success plan is designed to assist students in identifying a path to academic success and can be found at http://engineering.asu.edu/students/standards [5]. Students on academic probation may enroll in a maximum of 13 credit hours per semester. Degree Requirements Undergraduate Nondegree Status Students who are enrolled in an undergraduate nondegree status in the schools must obtain advising and approval to register from the office of academic and student affairs before registering each semester. Course Prerequisites Students should consult the schedule of classes and the catalog for course prerequisites. Students who register for courses without the designated prerequisites may be withdrawn without their consent at any time before the final examination. Such withdrawal may be initiated by the course instructor, the program chair of the program offering the course or the dean of the college. In such cases, students will not receive monetary reimbursement. Academic Catalog Archive 2013-2014 168 Pass/Fail Grades Students requesting credit for pass/fail courses taken at another institution must file an Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering standards petition. Each request is judged on its particular merits. Non-Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering Students Students who are not admissible to programs in the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering and who enroll in another college at ASU may not register for any 300- or 400-level courses in the schools unless the courses are required in their degree programs and the students have the proper course prerequisites. First-year Composition Requirement Completion of the first-year composition requirement is required for graduation. Any student whose written or spoken English in any course is unsatisfactory may be required by the appropriate school director of program chair to take additional course work. Find the first-year composition requirement at http://catalog.asu.edu/ug_grad_req [6]. Change of Major Students interested in switching majors to one of the programs within the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering must meet the schools' admission requirements for transfer students. Change of major is not guaranteed, and students interested in changing majors are encouraged to make an appointment with an advisor in the program of interest to discuss the probability of success and to develop a plan of action to ensure successful advancement to upper-division courses. For admissions information, visit http://engineering.asu.edu/undergraduate/adreqs [7]. Students who were admitted as freshmen into the Fulton Schools of Engineering and have maintained continuous enrollment in any Fulton engineering major may choose to change to any other major within the Fulton Schools of Engineering provided they are in good academic standing [8]. Transfer students who have been admitted to the Fulton Schools of Engineering from a non-ASU institution or another college within ASU must meet transfer admission guidelines in order to change to any other major within the Fulton Schools of Engineering. Evaluation of Previous Course Work Transferring from one institution to another or between programs can result in a net loss in credits that count toward the degree. Thus, it is important for students who contemplate transferring into the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering from other institutions, whether community colleges or four-year institutions, to carefully study the requirements of their degree programs to get a sense of what courses may transfer. Credit is granted for transferred courses deemed equivalent to corresponding courses in the selected program of study, subject to grade and ASU resident credit requirements. No grades lower than "C" (2.00) are accepted as transfer credit to meet the graduation requirements of the schools. Credits transferred from a community college or two-year institution are applied only as lower-division credits. For a listing of the acceptable courses transferable to the various degree programs, prospective Arizona transfer students should consult their advisors and refer to the ASU transfer tools available at http://transfer.asu.edu [9]. It should be noted that some courses taken in other ASU colleges or other universities may be acceptable for general university credit but may not be applicable toward the degree requirements of the schools. Determination of those particular courses applicable to a specific degree program is made within the appropriate academic unit with approval of the dean. Currency of Course Work Courses taken more than five years before admission to degree programs in the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering are not normally accepted for transfer credit, at the option of the program in which the applicant wishes to enroll. Courses completed within the five years preceding admission are judged for their applicability to the student's curriculum. General Education Development Academic Catalog Archive 2013-2014 169 Students admitted to the university after successful completion of the GED examination are directly admitted to the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering (BSE or BS) program within their majors, provided they meet the minimum ACT or SAT score required for freshman admission to the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering. Graduation Requirements To qualify for graduation, an Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering student must have a minimum cumulative ASU GPA of 2.00 in addition to having a GPA of at least 2.00 for the courses in the major.

Degree Requirements Barrett Academic Course Requirements Honors students must maintain high standards of academic performance and show progress toward completion of graduation requirements in their disciplinary majors and in Barrett. In order to graduate from Barrett, students must complete the following, which includes 36 credit hours of honors course work: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. HON 171 and HON 272 The Human Event must be completed in sequence during a student's first two semesters in the college. Thirty additional credit hours of honors course work must be earned with a letter grade of "C" (2.00) or higher. This may include HON prefix classes, honors sections of classes, honors enrichment contracts or any automatic honors course such as ENG 105 (in-person sections), CEE 486, PHY 333 or any graduate-level (in-person) course. Included in the 36 credit hours of honors course work are at least 18 hours of upper-division or graduate-level honors credits for an earned letter grade of “C” (2.00) or higher, including six credit hours of honors course work outside the academic major. Students should investigate specialized honors, upper-division tracks within their majors. Those admitted as upper-division transfer students (defined as students with 48 post-high school university credits completed by the time of planned enrollment in Barrett) must complete a three-credit, 300-level HON special topics course in addition to the 18 required hours of upper-division honors course work. Six of the 21 honors credits must be outside the academic major. A total of 21 hours of upper-division honors course work are required for these upper-division transfers, because they do not have time to complete all 36 honors hours. Students are required to complete an honors thesis or creative project for at least three credit hours, though students are encouraged to complete six credit hours of thesis or creative project work. The thesis credit hours may be included in the 18 required hours of upper-division honors course work. The honors thesis or creative project is launched with a prospectus that is due one academic year before the defense. Prior to enrolling in credit for thesis or creative project work, students must complete a required preparatory workshop or course. The final copy of the honors thesis or creative project must be filed by the posted deadline during the student’s graduation semester. ASU graduation requirements in an academic major must be met. The student must maintain a cumulative ASU GPA of 3.25 or higher. Barrett course requirements may be met in a variety of ways. There are two specific required courses for first-year students. Only courses in which a student receives a grade of “C” (2.00) or higher may be used to meet Barrett requirements. Those entering the college as lower-division students may take as many as 18 lower-division honors credits, which include HON 171 and 272 The Human Event, and at least 18 upper-division credits (total honors credits must be 36). HON 171 and 272 are crossdisciplinary seminars that acquaint students with ideas that form the foundation of a university education and emphasize critical thinking, discussion and writing. Those who enter as upper-division students must take 21 upper-division honors credits, including a required three-credit, 300-level HON honors course taught by an Honors faculty fellow. Junior-level seminar courses introduce students to critical thinking, discussion and writing in a topical area chosen by the instructor. All students are expected to complete this course during the first semester upon transferring. Departmental honors-only courses are limited to honors students and others who receive special permission from the instructor to enroll. Enrollment in these courses is limited. Compared to their non-honors equivalents, these courses are designed to offer richer, more complex intellectual experiences appropriate to the discipline and the level of the course for all students enrolled. Other disciplinary honors courses group honors students in small cohorts to work on research projects of common interest. Honors enrichment contracts are available in many departmental courses, allowing honors students to contract with the instructor of designated non-honors courses to earn honors credit by pursuing enrichment activities, which include supplemental sessions with the instructor. Honors enrichment contracts must be filed during the first four weeks of class and completed during the semester in Academic Catalog Archive 2013-2014 177 which the course is offered. The enrichment contract form offers guidelines to aid students and faculty in developing appropriate contracts. Course numbers listed in the ASU schedule of classes as 298/492 Honors Directed Study, 493 Honors Thesis, 497 Honors Colloquium, all classes with the HON prefix and those with departmental prefix that carry the honors designation as a notation are reserved for students in Barrett and always count for honors credit. Students may receive credit for more than one of each of these courses in a given department. The departmental courses with the number 493 are reserved for honors students completing their honors thesis or creative project. A student may enroll for this course only with the approval of the sponsoring academic department and of the faculty member who serves as the student’s thesis or creative project director. Course numbers listed in the ASU schedule of classes as 493 fulfill the student’s upper-division literacy and critical inquiry (L) General Studies requirement. There are certain courses that carry automatic honors credit. These include ENG 105 (any in-person section), CEE 486, and PHY 333. Graduate-level courses taught in an in-person format automatically earn honors credit.

This service assists students in: • • • • • learning more about graduation requirements for their major discerning what critical-requirement courses and grades are required to stay on track to successfully complete their degree planning for and scheduling appropriate courses in the correct sequence to maximize success monitoring progress toward their degree finding out how courses may fit into other majors if they decide to change majors Access eAdvisor at http://eadvisor.asu.edu/ [4]. All first-year students who choose to become an exploratory student are required to declare an exploratory track in one of four areas: • • • • exploratory social and behavioral sciences exploratory health and life sciences exploratory humanities and fine arts exploratory math, physical sciences, engineering and technology Each of these tracks is designed to provide students with introductory courses in a field of choice (e.g., introduction to psychology, introduction to environmental design), general studies education and elective courses that reinforce student interests. Each exploratory track is composed of a three-semester major map, culminating in the declaration of a major no later than the completion of 45 credit hours. Students are required to maintain a GPA that keeps them in good academic standing with the university and allows them to declare the major of their choosing. Major maps for each of these exploratory tracks and all other School of Letters and Sciences and ASU majors are available at https://webapp4.asu.edu/programs/t5/majormaps [5]. Academic Catalog Archive 2013-2014 181 Required Courses All new School of Letters and Sciences freshman students are required to enroll in the ASU 101 course during their first ASU semester. All exploratory students are required to enroll in an ASU 101/UNI 150/250/270 major and career exploration class each semester the student remains designated as an exploratory track student. Appeals Procedures Academic appeals and requests for variances or exceptions should be discussed first with the student’s academic success specialist and then, if necessary, submitted in writing to the School of Letters and Sciences standards committee. The university undergraduate standards committee also reviews all requests reviewed by the School of Letters and Sciences standards committee for exceptions to university requirements. For more details please visit https://sls.asu.edu/node/203 [6]. Concurrent Degrees Students who wish to obtain concurrent degrees must request approval from the School of Letters and Sciences and the college offering the second degree. Students who wish to obtain concurrent degrees may not double-count courses from one major to the next and must have at least 30 different credit hours in each major. For more details please visit https://sls.asu.edu/node/203 [6]. Readmission For students who are disqualified, reinstatement to the School of Letters and Sciences is only granted if the student raises their ASU cumulative GPA to good academic standing (2.0 cumulative GPA) by taking ASU summer classes, or completes 12 or more transferable credits at another college or university with a GPA of 2.50 or higher and no grades lower than “C” (2.00). If a student has been disqualified from ASU they may return to the School of Letters and Sciences for a fall or spring semester if they do one of the following: 1. 2. Raise their ASU cumulative GPA to good academic standing (2.00) by taking ASU summer session classes. Complete 12 credit hours of ASU general studies classes at a community college without a grade lower than a “C” and a GPA of 2.50 or better. Courses which the student failed or received a “D” in at ASU should not be repeated at a community college. Once readmitted, the student may be placed on academic probation for at least one semester. Students on probation will have one semester to raise their cumulative or semester GPA to meet ASU academic good standing (2.00). Failure to do so will result in disqualification from the university. Graduate Policies Please review graduate policies at graduate.asu.edu/forms/gradpolicies [7]. Students must fulfill all requirements of their individual graduate programs to remain in good academic standing and abide by all university policies including the Graduate College and the School of Letters and Sciences.

Undergraduate Policies Academic Integrity Academic honesty is expected of all students in all examinations, papers, laboratory work, academic transactions and records. The possible sanctions include, but are not limited to, appropriate grade penalties, loss of registration privileges, disqualification and dismissal. For more information, see http://provost.asu.edu/academicintegrity [1]. Student Responsibilities Students enrolling in courses offered by the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences are expected to follow the rules and deadlines specified in this catalog and the current registration and tuition payment guide. Students are urged to meet with their departmental academic advisors before registration. Students with additional questions or problems are also urged to meet with advisors in the office of student and academic programs, in FULTN 110, regarding the academic rules of the college and the university. Academic Standing The standards for GPA and the terms of academic probation, disqualification, reinstatement and appeal are identical to those of the university, as set forth under retention and academic standards, except that the disqualified student in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences is suspended for at least two regular semesters at the university. When a student is placed on probation, one of three things can happen: • • • The student may raise his or her cumulative GPA to academic good standing by repeating eligible classes or taking new classes and then be removed from academic probation after the fall or spring semester. The student may receive the required semester GPA but not raise the cumulative GPA to academic good standing, in which case the student may continue on academic probation, earning the required semester GPA, for as many semesters as it takes to raise the cumulative GPA to academic good standing. The student may fail to achieve the required semester GPA and be disqualified. Students who leave the university for a semester or more while on academic probation are not automatically readmitted. Such students, and all disqualified students, should contact the office of student and academic programs in FULTN 110 regarding procedures and guidance for reinstatement and returning to academic good standing. By following recommendations and meeting established standards for summer school work or course work at other institutions, the possibility of successful reinstatement is enhanced. All students who are academically disqualified or who are off track for two semesters should contact this office. The office provides transitional advising for students who must choose another major. To schedule an appointment for transitional advising, students should call 480-965-6506. Also available in this office is information on policies and procedures of the college on academic honesty, student grievances with respect to grades and various petitions regarding college standards and graduation requirements. Advising All students are urged to seek advising in the appropriate college unit before registration. Students must follow the calendar published in the registration and tuition payment guide each semester for information and deadlines pertaining to enrollment, adding or dropping classes and withdrawals. In addition to information provided by an advisor, students must read the requirements for university General Studies and college graduation in their edition of the ASU Academic Catalog. The ASU academic catalog is the governing source for all degree requirements. Students must consult the major maps for their majors' degree requirements. Regular Advising All students are strongly urged to seek advising in the appropriate college unit before registration. Academic Catalog Archive 2013-2014 183 eAdvisor In fall 2007, ASU introduced eAdvisor, which gives students the tools to successfully follow their major map to graduation. This service assists students in: • • • • • learning more about graduation requirements for their major discerning what critical-requirement courses and grades are required to stay on track to successfully complete their degree planning for and scheduling appropriate courses in the correct sequence to maximize success monitoring progress toward their degree finding out how courses may fit into other majors if they decide to change majors Access eAdvisor at http://eadvisor.asu.edu/ [2]. Advising Locations College of Liberal Arts and Sciences students should seek routine advising in the department or school of their major, which can be found at https://clas.asu.edu/current-students/department-advisors [3]. The office of student and academic programs, in FULTN 110, is the central resource center for academic information in the college. Requests from students, departmental advisors and faculty for clarification of rules, procedures and advising needs of the college and university should be directed to that office. Advising Holds The following categories of liberal arts and sciences students must receive advising and must have their holds lifted before their classes are scheduled: • • • • • • students in their first semester at ASU students on academic probation students in their first two semesters students who have been disqualified (These students are allowed to attend ASU summer sessions only and must be advised in the office of student and academic programs in FULTN 110.) students who have surpassed their 64th earned hour students who are off track in their major A student in any category listed above should consult an advisor in the department or school of his or her major (with the exception of a disqualified student, who may only receive advising in the office of student and academic programs, FULTN 110). Students are encouraged to check each semester to see if they have an advising hold before attempting registration transactions. Internships All students are encouraged to complete at least one internship before graduation; some majors require internships. Many college disciplines have well-established internship programs, so students should begin by seeking information in their academic departments. Advising for Preprofessional Programs Special advising is available for students planning to enter the fields listed in the advising for preprofessional programs table. The professional programs shown in the table are not majors in themselves; that is, there are no majors called premedical, prelaw, etc. In each program, the student must select an established major in the college or in one of the other colleges. Advising for Preprofessional Programs Professional Field Advisor Location Academic Catalog Archive 2013-2014 184 Dentistry Foreign service FULTN 110 Diplomat in Residence, Philip Egger, COOR 6th floor Law FULTN 110 Medicine FULTN 110 Ministry School of Historical, Philosophical and Religious Studies, COOR 3309 Occupational therapy FULTN 110 Optometry FULTN 110 Osteopathy FULTN 110 Pharmacy FULTN 110 Physical therapy FULTN 110 Podiatry FULTN 110 Health Professions A student pursuing admission to a professional school in the health professions must choose a major offered by ASU. However, specific courses must be taken to prepare the student to take the MCAT or other entrance examinations and to succeed in postbaccalaureate training. Therefore, students who plan to pursue a health profession should meet regularly with the staff in the office of student and academic programs for guidance. While this guidance does not replace the need to meet with an advisor in the department of the student’s major, health professions advising is a necessary supplement. To schedule a meeting with an advisor in the office of student and academic programs, located in FULTN 110, call 480-965-6506. Prelaw The American Bar Association does not recommend any specific major for students who wish to apply to law school upon graduation. ASU does not have a prelaw degree program. Therefore, students should select the majors that interest them. Recent surveys of law school graduates indicate that students would be well advised to take one or two semesters of accounting as a supplement to their major curriculum. In addition, the American Bar Association recommends a variety of courses in the classics, economics and mathematical reasoning. Courses that engage the student in intense critical analysis and a substantial amount of writing are also recommended. As students approach the second semester of the junior year, they should meet with the prelaw advisors in the office of student and academic programs, FULTN 110; meetings can be scheduled by calling 480-965-6506. Credit/Registration Credit Requirement All candidates for graduation in the BA, BS or BS in planning degree curricula are required to complete at least 120 credit hours, of which at least 45 hours must consist of upper-division courses. A minimum ASU cumulative GPA of 2.00 is required for graduation. Concurrent Degrees Students who wish to obtain concurrent degrees must realize there are certain combinations that would not be approved because there is too great an overlap between the courses required for each major. For example, students may not obtain concurrent degrees in two life sciences. Students who wish to obtain concurrent degrees may not double-count courses from one major to the next, but must have at least 30 different credit hours in each major. The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences requires all students to have completed at least 30 graded hours and to have a minimum GPA of 2.00 to petition to pursue a concurrent degree. Some majors will require a higher GPA, which students should understand. Minors The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences offers minors in many of its disciplines. All minors must entail a minimum of 18 hours in the discipline with at least 12 of those hours as upper-division courses. Six of the upper-division hours must be taken from courses offered by the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. Students should work with the advisors in the departments of their minors to Academic Catalog Archive 2013-2014 185 make certain they are making the most effective choices to complete their minors. Students may not use courses in their minors toward their majors and, similarly, students may not use courses in their majors to fill the requirements of their minors. Additionally, there may be some disciplines that are too close in content for a student to choose a particular combination of minor and major. Course Load The normal course load is 15 or 16 credit hours for a full 15-week semester. First-semester freshmen and entering transfer students are not permitted to register for more than 18 credit hours in the initial 15-week semester or nine credit hours in session A and nine credit hours in session B. Other students who wish to register for more than 18 hours must have a GPA of at least 3.40 and have completed a minimum of two semesters at ASU, in which they have completed 17 to 18 hours per 15-week semester. Students meeting these requirements may seek an overload for 19 to 20 hours (or up to 10 hours in either session A or B) from the advising office in the departments of their majors. Any petition for an overload in excess of 21 hours (or more than 10 hours in either session A or B) must be presented to the office of student and academic programs, in FULTN 110. No student should assume that his or her petition for overload will be granted. For summer sessions, the maximum course load is 14 credit hours, seven per six-week summer session. Overloads are rarely granted for these sessions, and requests must be petitioned to the office of student and academic programs, in FULTN 110. Pass/Fail Grade Option The pass/fail grade option is intended to broaden the education of liberal arts and sciences undergraduates by encouraging them to take advanced courses outside their specializations. A grade of “P” (pass) contributes to a student’s earned hours, but does not affect the GPA. A failing grade is computed into the GPA. Only College of Liberal Arts and Sciences students with at least 60 credit hours may take courses under the pass/fail option. The option may be used under the following conditions: • • • Enrollment for pass/fail needs approval from the instructor and the college. Enrollment under this option must be indicated during registration and may not be changed after the late registration period. A maximum of 12 hours taken for pass/fail may be counted toward graduation. Students may not enroll under the pass/fail option in the following courses: • • • • • • those taken to satisfy the second-language or first-year composition requirements those in the student's major, minor or certificate program those counted toward or required to supplement the major those counted as 499 Individualized Instruction those taken for honors credits those counted toward satisfying the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences graduation requirements or the General Studies requirement Audit Grade Option Students may choose to audit courses in which they attend regularly scheduled class sessions but earn no credit. Students should obtain instructor approval before registering for the courses. Note: This grade option may not be changed after the drop/add period. Degree Requirements College Graduation Requirements All students in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences must complete the university General Studies requirement as well as all requirements in their majors. In addition, the college has established requirements that are specific to the BA, BS and BS in planning. Academic Catalog Archive 2013-2014 186 Bachelor of Arts. Each student pursuing a BA in the college must demonstrate intermediate proficiency in a second language by completing the courses specified below with a grade of “C” (2.00) or higher in each course. Second-language course requirements may be fulfilled in one of the following ways: • • • • completion of second-language course work at the intermediate level (202 or equivalent). Those students completing this requirement in Ancient Greek must take GRK 301 and 302; students completing the requirement in Portuguese or Romanian must complete POR 314 or ROM 314. a foreign language course at the 300 level or higher taught in the foreign language and having 202 or its equivalent as a prerequisite demonstrated completion of secondary education at a school in which the language of instruction is not English completion of SHS 202 American Sign Language IV or its equivalent Bachelor of Science. Each student pursuing a BS or BS in planning in the college must complete six credit hours (two courses) of Science and Society courses. Students should consult an advisor in the department or school of their major for a list of appropriate courses. The current list of Science and Society courses is also listed on the college's website at https://clas.asu.edu/advising-andacademic-services/science-and-society [4]. All students are required to take a minimum of MAT 117 or higher, excluding MAT 194 and any one-semester hour math courses. A grade of “C” (2.00) or higher must be earned in the chosen mathematics course. Each student admitted as a first-time freshman is required to complete a freshman success course or first-year seminar. These courses are designed to introduce students to the college and help them gain understanding of what they will need to be successful students at ASU. Topics include academic success, academic integrity and student engagement. Major Requirements Each student is required to select a major from among the fields of study offered by the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. The requirements for completion of the major are described under departmental listings. The department of the major may require up to 45 credit hours of course work. The minimum is 30 hours. A maximum of 15 additional hours may be required in related courses and prerequisites. No more than 60 credit hours of course work may be required to complete the major, related courses and prerequisites. Some departments require calculus-level mathematics; up to five of these credit hours may be excluded from the 60-hour maximum because they satisfy the mathematics proficiency requirement. A minimum of 12 upper-division hours in the major must be taken in residence (from courses offered by the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences). No credit is granted toward fulfilling major or minor requirements in any upper-division course in that subject field unless the grade in that course is at least a “C” (2.00). In the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, the assignment of a grade of “Y” (satisfactory) indicates a level of performance that would have resulted in a grade of at least “C” (2.00) had the normal grading scheme been used. See the individual departments for other minimum grade requirements. Major fields of study are classified into the following three areas: Humanities • • • • • • • • • • Asia studies Asian languages (Chinese/Japanese) English film and media studies French German history international letters and cultures Italian Jewish studies Academic Catalog Archive 2013-2014 187 • • • • philosophy religious studies Russian Spanish Natural Sciences and Mathematics • • • • • • • • • • • • biochemistry biological sciences chemistry computational mathematical studies Earth and environmental sciences Earth and space exploration mathematics microbiology molecular bioscience/biotechnology physics psychology speech and hearing science Social Sciences • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • African and African American studies American Indian studies anthropology applied mathematics for the life and social sciences Asian Pacific American studies communication economics family and human development geography global health global studies justice studies political science sociology transborder Chicana/o and Latina/o studies urban planning women and gender studies General Electives Most liberal arts and sciences majors can meet all the above requirements with fewer than the 120 credit hours required for graduation. Remaining hours are general electives that may be selected from any of the departments of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and from the offerings of the other colleges. Reinstatement/Readmission Students in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences who were academically disqualified from the university must earn readmission to the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. That process most generally entails taking a minimum of 12 credit hours of courses that are preapproved by the student and the office of student and academic programs at a community college, earning a minimum 3.00 GPA while not receiving any grade lower than a "C" (2.00). In order to learn what is required of the individual, students must schedule an appointment by calling 480-965-6506. Enrolling and completing courses not preapproved by the student and academic programs office may result in a denial of readmission to the college, no matter how well the student has performed. Academic Catalog Archive 2013-2014 188 A student who was additionally off track for two semesters and who was disqualified from the university or who left on probation will not be able to be readmitted to the former major, but must choose another major for which to attempt to earn reinstatement. Please note some departments do not allow students who have been disqualified to be readmitted to their majors. For more information, call 480-965-6506. Other Special Requirements Some of the major degree programs offered by the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences require students to complete a portfolio process before being permitted to take upper-division classes in their majors. Students should check with the departments or schools of their majors to see if there are any such policies that apply to them. Some major degree programs require a student to study abroad, which students should understand up front. Graduate Policies Please consult the individual school or department for information about requirements for graduate study. Students must fulfill all requirements of their individual graduate programs to remain in good academic standing and abide by all university policies including the Graduate College and the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.

General Electives After the three requirements have been satisfied, the remainder of the minimum 120 credit hours required for graduation are general electives. Contact college advisors for assistance in selecting elective courses. Concurrent Degrees Students seeking concurrent degrees must file a petition to do so (http://newcollege.asu.edu/advising/forms [17]). If the program overlap is too significant between the two programs, the petition will not be granted. The following conditions must be met when seeking approval for concurrent degrees: • • • • • The student has completed all prerequisites and a minimum of 12 credit hours within the first major. The student has maintained a cumulative GPA of 3.00 or higher. The student provides adequate justification for the addition of a concurrent degree. The student will complete 30 unique credit hours for the second major. The student has not waited until the final semester to petition for approval to pursue a concurrent degree. Minors New College offers minors in many of its disciplines. All minors require a minimum of 18 credit hours in the discipline with at least 12 of those hours completed as upper-division course work. Six of the upper-division hours must be taken from courses offered by the New College of Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences. Courses used in the minor may not be used in the student's major program (https://catalog.asu.edu/index.php?q=minors [18]). Reinstatement/Readmission Undergraduate degree-seeking students who previously attended ASU in New College but have not been enrolled at ASU for one or two consecutive fall or spring semesters are eligible to return through quick reentry. These students are not required to submit a new application or application fee, but must contact an academic advisor in their school to enroll. Academic Catalog Archive 2013-2014 193 Undergraduates who have been away from the university for three or more semesters and want to return to ASU in a New College program are required to apply for readmission through the university registrar's office (see https://students.asu.edu/readmission [19]). Disqualified or ineligible students must follow the procedures for readmission and will be reviewed by the college on a case-by-case basis. Graduate Policies Students must fulfill all requirements of their individual graduate programs to remain in good academic standing and abide by all university policies including the Graduate College and the New College of Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences.

Because of changing resources regarding clinical experiences, the criteria used to determine how spaces will be assigned to these programs are subject to change. Undergraduate Policies Academic Integrity Academic honesty is expected of all students in all examinations, papers, academic transactions and records. The possible sanctions include, but are not limited to, appropriate grade penalties, loss of registration privileges, disqualification and dismissal. The College of Nursing and Health Innovation adheres to the student code of conduct regarding academic dishonesty. A copy of the student code of conduct may be obtained online at https://provost.asu.edu/academicintegrity [1]. Academic dishonesty is not tolerated in any course and is subject to specific College of Nursing and Health Innovation policies and procedures. Review the College of Nursing and Health Innovation undergraduate student handbooks for additional information regarding college policies. The handbooks are located at https://nursingandhealth.asu.edu/students/forms [2]. Academic Standing Academic Catalog Archive 2013-2014 194 University standards for academic good standing are followed for all majors in the college. Students who do not maintain the minimum GPA after each fall or spring semester are placed on academic probation. Students on academic probation or continuing probation must meet with an academic advisor before registering for the subsequent semester. Students placed on academic probation have one semester to raise the cumulative or semester GPA to meet the academic good standing criteria; otherwise, these students may be disqualified or determined to be ineligible for the majors in this college. Disqualified students are not permitted to enroll for the fall or spring semesters. Sun Devil Tracking focuses on students who initially enroll as full-time freshmen and tracks progress during their first four semesters. It identifies and outlines the critical courses, GPA requirements and milestones that predict success in each major. Students use major maps and progress reports to plan what courses to take each semester. Students who do not meet critical requirements are notified they are off track, and off-track status is displayed on My ASU student pages. Off-track students are required to see an academic advisor before registering for or adding classes. Students off track for two consecutive semesters may be required to change majors. Students pursuing the RN-BSN, the postbaccalaureate BSN or the concurrent enrollment program are not critically tracked. Advising Academic advising is an essential aspect of the educational experience and is provided by the college through the undergraduate student academic services office and the graduate programs offices. Academic advisors assist students with program planning, registration, preparation of petitions, verification of graduation requirements, referrals to university and community resources and career planning. ASU accepts course work transferred from other accredited institutions and then the College of Nursing and Health Innovation determines if and how the courses will be applied. The undergraduate student academic services office is committed to ensuring that students reach their academic goals and graduate in four years. This is done by monitoring student progress and providing the academic resources and personalized tools students need to get off to a good start and stay on track toward graduation. Students can monitor their own progress with the Sun Devil Tracking site at https://eadvisor.asu.edu/whatiseadvisor/tracking [3]; the eAdvisor academic success resources at https://eadvisor.asu.edu/node/19 [3]; and with personalized tools at https://eadvisor.asu.edu/whatiseadvisor/tools [4]. Student responsibilities include following university guidelines regarding submission of transcripts from all colleges other than ASU, obtaining the necessary signatures or computer verifications required by the university, and following university procedures for matriculation. It is ultimately the responsibility of each student to fulfill academic and program requirements. Mandatory Advising All freshmen and new undergraduate transfer students are required to meet with an academic advisor before registering for courses. Students with academic probationary status and off-track students are required to meet with an academic advisor to plan strategies for improving academic standing. Students interested in transferring to the prelicensure nursing program must attend a BSN information session before a one-on-one academic advising appointment will be scheduled. Information session information is located at http://nursingandhealth.asu.edu/programs/nursing/undergraduate/bsn/info-bsn.htm [5]. Credit/Registration Course Load Students wishing to register for more than the maximum allowable credits in a term must petition the standards committee and must obtain an approved overload before registration (search for undergraduate standards committee petition on the main ASU Web page). All prerequisite courses for the nursing programs must be taken for a letter grade. All upper-division nursing courses will be taken for a grade except for selected clinical courses in the prelicensure program that are taken for “P” (pass) or “Y” (satisfactory). Students wishing to pursue concurrent degrees must petition the university standards committee. Degree Requirements Academic Catalog Archive 2013-2014 195 RN to BSN Program Applicants who have an associate degree in nursing or a nursing diploma and have their RN license must apply to the online RN-BSN program at http://asuonline.asu.edu/ [6]. Admission standards for the online RN-BSN program are the same as university admission requirements, which can be found at http://students.asu.edu/admission [7]. The RN-BSN program builds on the knowledge and skills the student learned in their associate degree or diploma from a diploma school. The course assignments will enhance the student’s written and verbal communication skills, clinical reasoning skills, and information technology skills. Faculty are leaders and experts in their practice areas. Faculty strive to prepare graduates who will be engaged, professional, innovative leaders who use evidence-based practice to facilitate positive change in the work environment and community. Graduates will demonstrate holistic population-based perspectives and be solution identifiers, client advocates and effective communicators. The RN-BSN program is offered entirely online. The program can be completed in 14 to18 months. The RN-BSN program has transfer pathway agreements with all the community colleges in Arizona. There are five start times per year: twice in the spring and fall and once in the summer. There are field work assignments in some courses, but there are no clinical or practicum classes. Students must have earned a 2.50 in the following courses to be eligible for the Maricopa pathway program: BIO 201, BIO 202, CHM 130/LL, BIO 205, ENG 101, ENG 102, and PSY 101. The courses required for each pathway vary somewhat. Students with an AAS from a community college in Arizona may be eligible for a Pathway program. Students who did not complete the AAS in the state of Arizona are eligible for the non-pathway program. Potential students must have an active RN license in good standing in the state or country in which they are working. There is a minimum GPA of 2.50 for all undergraduate course work. All prerequisites require a grade of a “C” or better. For more information on this program please view http://asuonline.asu.edu/degree-programs/undergraduate/bachelor-sciencenursing-rn-bsn [8]. Traditional Prelicensure Clinical Nursing Program Admission requirements for the traditional prelicensure clinical nursing program are more rigorous than university requirements and students must provide a second major choice when applying. Some entering freshmen will be directly admitted to the nursing major. Other students may be admitted to their second choice and may then compete for space in the nursing program. If there are available seats in the TPCNP after placing directly admitted nursing students, a competitive application process will be used to fill those spaces. Spaces will be given to those students with the highest advancement score. Directly admitted students must meet continuing eligibility criteria each semester. If they fail to meet one or more of the criteria, they forfeit their direct admit status and may compete for the nursing program. The continuing eligibility criteria are as follows: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. “on track” status each semester full time (12 or more credits per semester) and continuous enrollment grades of “B” or better in critical (prerequisite) courses; one “C” grade allowed minimum 11 critical (prerequisite) courses taken at ASU (dual enrollment and AP credits will count as part of the 11) 3.50 minimum cumulative ASU GPA 3.50 minimum semester ASU GPA in every semester 3.50 minimum critical (prerequisite) course GPA each semester. Pluses and minuses (+/-) are not used in this computation. thirteen of 17 prerequisite courses completed by the end of the 3rd term with a 3.75 GPA in those 13 courses or 3.75 select GPA. Pluses and minuses (+/-) are not used in this computation. 9. successful completion of all screening items 10. complete prerequisites in four semesters Consideration for advancement to the traditional prelicensure clinical nursing program and placement to the postbaccalaureate clinical nursing program are separate processes that follow admission to ASU. Academic Catalog Archive 2013-2014 196 Transfer students, students in other majors, students who have forfeited direct admission, and students who have already completed a bachelor’s degree in an area outside of nursing are all eligible to compete for a space in the program through the competitive application process, provided they have completed the prerequisite courses and all screening items. Each semester, students are placed into the program through the direct admissions process; the remaining spaces will be awarded to the top students going through the competitive application process. The select GPA and test of essential academic skills score are added together and the top students are admitted based on combined scores. Select GPA: The select GPA will be computed based on 13 critical (prerequisite) courses and must include ENG 101, ENG 102, and three of the four lab sciences (BIO 201, BIO 202, CHM 101, MIC 205/206). Critical courses with a grade of “C” or better may not be repeated to improve the select GPA. Please see a nursing academic advisor for possible replacement course options. Note: Students who have already earned a bachelor’s degree may choose to use a “Pass” grade rather than letter grades for ENG 101 and 102. Prerequisite and select GPA: Students must have a minimum 3.25 in both their prerequisite GPA and select GPA. The average select GPA for those advanced into the program in previous semesters has been much higher than a 3.25. Test of Essential Academic Skills: Students will be measured in the basic essential skills in academic content areas of reading, mathematics, science and English and language usage. To prepare for the exam we recommend students visit www.atitesting.com [9] to review the resources available from the creators of the exam. TEAS score: Minimum required = 58.7 percent. The select GPA and TEAS scores will be used to rank students from high to low in the CAP. After direct admit students who meet continuing eligibility criteria are advanced, students highest on the list will be offered spaces in the traditional prelicensure clinical nursing program that remain. Students not selected may choose to compete again in the next term, if space is available. There is no limit on the number of times students may compete; a waiting list will not be maintained. Students who do not meet the minimum select GPA and TEAS scores will be withdrawn from consideration. Nursing faculty may opt to use additional criteria in the selection process. Postbaccalaureate Clinical Nursing Program In order to be considered for the postbaccalaureate clinical nursing program, all interested students must have a bachelor’s degree in a discipline other than nursing posted at ASU by the deadline for placement. Placement in the postbaccalaureate clinical nursing program is based on clinical space availability. More students may request placement than clinical space will allow. Placement is not guaranteed. The program is a 12-month program that begins during the spring semester and it includes the spring, summer and fall semesters. The program is offered only at the ASU Downtown Phoenix campus. The program will only begin during the spring semester. Summer tuition rates apply. The prerequisites for this program are: BIO 201, BIO 202, CDE 232, CHM 101, HCR 220, HCR 240, MIC 205/206, NTR 241, PGS 101 and a statistics course that meets the General Studies CS requirement. Eight of the 10 courses must be completed by the placement deadline with a minimum 3.50 GPA for the semester for which you apply. All four science courses (BIO 201, BIO 202, CHM 101, and MIC 205/206) must be completed by the placement deadline. Students must meet all ASU General Studies requirements by the end of the fall semester before beginning the postbaccalaureate clinical nursing program in the spring semester. Grades of “C” (2.00) or better must be earned in each course and a minimum 3.50 Prerequisite GPA is required by Dec. 31. Courses with a grade of "C" or better may not be repeated to improve the Prerequisite GPA. Please see academic advisor for limited replacement course options. Academic Catalog Archive 2013-2014 197 Placement is based on a select GPA, Test of Essential Academic Skills score of 58.7 percent or higher and responses to essay questions. Eligibility requirements, criteria for placement and measurements are subject to change. The select GPA will be computed based on eight of 10 prerequisite courses. If only eight prerequisite courses are completed by the placement deadline, the student's select GPA will include all eight of the courses, four of which must be science courses. If the student has more than eight courses completed, they must select at least three of four lab sciences and then choose five other courses. Students who have a degree may choose to apply to the PBCNP, the TPCNP, or both programs as long as the prerequisites have been met for both programs. Concurrent Enrollment Associate-Baccalaureate Nursing Program The concurrent enrollment associate-baccalaureate nursing program is offered through participating community colleges in the Maricopa Community College District and ASU. This program is designed for qualified nursing students who are interested in earning their BSN in nursing while simultaneously pursuing their AAS in nursing. Selected students will be enrolled in the MaricopaNursing program and ASU BSN courses concurrently. BSN courses taken at ASU will be delivered in an online (iCourse) format. The concurrent enrollment program allows students to pursue an AAS in nursing via the current MaricopaNursing program while providing an affordable, concurrent course of study that enables students to complete their BSN degree in approximately one to two semesters after graduating with their AAS degree. A limited number of participants are selected from the pool of MaricopaNursing students who have met all associate-baccalaureate CEP identified eligibility requirements. ASU prerequisite requirements: BIO 201, BIO 202, CHM 101, PGS 101 or CDE 232, MIC 205/206, ENG 101 and 102, HCR 240, and the math requirement (MAT 117, 142, or higher). Students must have a 3.25 or higher GPA in these courses to be eligible for consideration. For more information please see: http://nursing.maricopa.edu/ [10] General Information Students in the Clinical nursing programs must earn grades of “C” (2.00) or higher in all nursing course work except in nursing practice courses where a designation of a “Y” (satisfactory) or “P” (pass) grade is required. In addition, students are allowed only one nursing course failure (i.e., grade below “C”). The second failure in a nursing course will result in disqualification from the nursing major. Arizona State Board of Nursing Requirement: Once students have earned the BSN, they must pass a national licensing examination, known as the NCLEX-RN, in order to obtain a nursing license. Arizona State law prohibits an individual convicted of a felony from applying for nursing licensure or certification until five years after the date of absolute discharge of the sentence. Application for and passage of the NCLEX-RN is the sole responsibility of the student. Students who have completed one of more semesters in an upper division, accredited, baccalaureate school of nursing are highly unlikely to transfer into clinical nursing programs with advanced standing. For the TPCNP, PBCNP and CEP programs, science courses (CHM 101, BIO 201, BIO 202 and MIC 205 and 206) must be current within seven years of the program start date. For example, science courses must be taken in spring 2006 or later to be considered current for the spring 2013 programs. Program Fees Traditional prelicensure clinical nursing program: Students directly admitted to ASU as a nursing major are charged $1,000 per semester/term in addition to regular tuition while taking the critical (prerequisite) courses. All students advanced to the TPCNP, whether directly admitted or competitively admitted, are charged $1,750 per semester/term for the four semesters/terms of the clinical program in addition to tuition charges. Fees are subject to change. Academic Catalog Archive 2013-2014 198 Postbaccalaureate clinical nursing program: There is a $5,500 program fee per semester/term for the postbaccalaureate BSN concentration in addition to regular tuition and fees. This totals approximately $16,500 in program fees plus regular tuition and fee charges. Concurrent Enrollment Program: There is a $750 program fee per semester/term for the concurrent enrollment program. RN-BSN Online Program: There is a $750 program fee per semester/term for the RN-BSN online program. This fee is prorated based on the number of credits taken per term. All tuition and fees are subject to change. Reinstatement and Readmission Disqualified or ineligible students who have skipped a fall or spring semester must follow the procedures for readmission. See readmission to the university at https://students.asu.edu/readmission [11]. Applications for reinstatement and readmission to nursing are subject to rigorous requirements that reflect admission and progression standards. Other Special Requirements Students in clinical nursing programs that require working in hospitals or with vulnerable populations must meet additional requirements as follows: Titers and Immunizations Measles, Mumps & Rubella (MMR): Students must provide proof of immunity through positive titer results for rubella and rubeola. Varicella (chicken pox): Students must provide proof of immunity through positive titer results. A history of chicken pox does not constitute proof of immunity. Two vaccinations may be required. Hepatitis B: Three doses of hepatitis B are required. Students may also provide immunity through positive titer results. Tetanus/Diphtheria: Students must provide proof of receiving a tetanus/diphtheria immunization within the last ten years. Students are required to keep this immunization current throughout the advancement consideration process and when enrolled in the traditional prelicensure clinical nursing program. Tuberculin Skin Test: Students must provide proof of a TB skin test taken within the last 12 months, with negative results. Students with positive TB skin test results must follow up with their health care providers for assessment and follow-up treatment, if needed. Treatment must be initiated prior to enrollment in the traditional prelicensure clinical nursing program; TB skin test results must be valid through the first semester of the program, and negative TB skin test or evidence of follow-up treatment is required every 12 months while participating in the program. Supplemental Materials: The requirements specified in this section affect student ability to progress in the traditional prelicensure clinical nursing program course work, eligibility for clinical placement and to ultimately to be licensed as an RN. Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation/Basic Life Support Certification: Proof of CPR/BLS health care provider certification is required. Students are required to keep the CPR/BLS current throughout advancement consideration and when enrolled in the traditional prelicensure clinical nursing program. Level One Fingerprint Clearance Card: Level one fingerprint clearance, in the form of a fingerprint clearance card, is required by Arizona state law to work and care for children, the elderly and vulnerable adults. Fingerprint clearance is determined after a background screening process at the state and federal levels to check for criminal records. Students must have a valid, unrestricted fingerprint clearance card to advance to and remain in the clinical nursing programs. Students with concerns about a restriction may call the Arizona Department of Public Safety at 602-223-2279. Academic Catalog Archive 2013-2014 199 Federal- and State-level Background Screening: Students must have an unrestricted security background check to advance to and remain in clinical nursing programs. Drug Screen and Nicotine Testing: All students clinical nursing programs will be required to complete a drug screen. Results of the drug screen must be negative. Dilute specimens are considered positive. Students will also be tested for nicotine; however, the presence of nicotine will not restrict enrollment in clinical course work but will affect the clinical placements while in the program. Lawful Presence: The college follows the Arizona State Board of Nursing policy regarding lawful presence in the United States. “On January 2, 2008, ARS 1-504 (HB2467) was implemented by the Board requiring ALL applicants to provide the Board with satisfactory documentation demonstrating the applicants’ citizenship, alien status, legal residency or lawful presence in the United States” (http://www.azbn.gov/Documents/Newsletters/2008/Journal%201st%20Quarter%202008.pdf [12], page 23). RN Licensure: Students completing the BSN are eligible to sit for the NCLEX-RN. However, legislation regarding the Arizona State Board of Nursing prohibits an individual convicted of a felony from applying for licensure or certification until five years after the date of absolute discharge of sentence. This means that all court-ordered terms of probation or parole must be completed at least five years prior to the date of application for nurse licensure. Each case is considered by the Arizona State Board of Nursing on its own merits. The elapse of five years does not guarantee licensure or certification — it simply permits the submission of an application and board consideration. In addition, the Arizona State Board of Nursing may deny any application for a license if the applicant has committed any acts of unprofessional conduct. See the Arizona State Board of Nursing website at http://www.azbn.gov [13]. Required Clinical Experiences: Clinical hours vary with facility placement and may include 12-hour blocks of time, weekends and evenings. Flexibility is required since there are a limited number of available clinical sites for student experiences. Students must have the ability to utilize written, verbal and computerized communication with faculty, peers and other health care professionals. Students are expected to demonstrate the ability to think critically and apply nursing knowledge to clinical situations. Students are also required to accept professional supervision from faculty and designated staff and effectively integrate feedback into practice. Equal Access: The college is committed to making learning experiences accessible and inclusive for all students, including those with an identified disability or disabling condition. In compliance with the ASU policy on Students with Disabilities USI 702-02, http://www.asu.edu/aad/manuals/usi/usi701-02.html [14], every effort will be made to accommodate students with special needs to find cost-effective methods to address the identified student condition and serve the needs of the patients. Accommodations may include resources and assistive aids for those students with cognitive and perceptual disabilities, specialized equipment for hearing or vision deficits, and modifications to the physical environment or clinical hours. Students with disabilities are required to document their condition with the Disability Resource Center upon admission to the college and to be key participants in identifying their needs. The college will provide reasonable and appropriate accommodations for any student who has documented a disability or disabling health condition. Graduate Policies Additional Policies Academic Advising: Prospective graduate students may receive information through the graduate program office of the college. Advisor contact information is available at https://nursingandhealth.asu.edu/advising/nursinggrad.htm [15]. Upon admission, each student is assigned a faculty advisor or mentor within the degree or certificate program or area of concentration.

We strive to put the well-being of our students at the center of every policy and program. Policies and processes serve as guidelines for our students, but each student situation is unique, and we encourage our students to work directly with our talented advising staff to address concerns and issues. Undergraduate Policies Academic Integrity The College of Public Programs academic integrity process models the ASU process. For more information on the process, including next steps, please visit our web site at https://copp.asu.edu/ [1]. Academic Standing Students in the College of Public Programs are considered to be in good standing for the purpose of retention if they maintain a cumulative GPA of 2.00 or higher in all courses taken at ASU. Certain majors within the College of Public Programs may require a progessively higher GPA than 2.00 as a student advances toward their degree. These requirements are outlined in the student's major map. Probation Any student who does not maintain good standing is placed on academic probation. A student on academic probation is required to observe any limitations or rules the college may impose as a condition for retention. Disqualification A student who is on probation becomes disqualified if one of the following occurs: • • the student has not returned to good standing the student has not met the required semester GPA Disqualification is exercised at the discretion of the college and becomes effective on the first day of the fall or spring semester following college action. A disqualified student is notified by the office of the registrar or the dean of the college and is not allowed to register for a fall or spring semester at the university until reinstated. A student who is disqualified may not attend as a nondegree student. Academic Catalog Archive 2013-2014 201 Advising The following categories of students are required to receive advising and be cleared by a program advisor before they may register for classes: • • • • • • • • students with admission competency deficiencies all freshmen transfer students in the first semester at ASU readmitted students students on probation students who have been disqualified students with special admission status all students majoring in social work Credit/Registration Course Load A normal course load per semester is 15 or 16 credit hours. The maximum number of hours for which a student can register is 18 credit hours unless an overload petition has been filed and approved by the department or school standards committee and dean or dean's designee. Semester course loads may be further limited for students in mandatory advising. Petitions for overload are not ordinarily approved for students who have a cumulative GPA less than 3.00 and who do not state valid reasons for the need to register for the credits. Students who register for credit hours in excess of 18 and do not have an approved overload petition on file may have courses randomly removed through an “administrative drop” action. Specific degree requirements are explained in detail under the respective college, school and department sections. Degree Requirements Interdisciplinary Public Service Requirement The College of Public Programs has a college-level graduation requirement for all undergraduate students majoring within the college. This degree requirement is called the interdisciplinary public service requirement. Each student must complete course work from other schools within the college. Students may choose a core course from their major and three courses from the approved course list for this requirement in addition to completing ASU 101. ASU 101 must be completed in the first year at ASU; the other courses can be taken while completing the degree. The approved course list is available through the advisor for the major. Questions about this requirement should be directed to the academic advisor for the major. Reinstatement/Readmission Students seeking reinstatement after disqualification should contact the College of Public Programs student services office regarding procedures and guidance for returning to good standing. When reinstatement includes readmission, application must be made through the ASU readmissions process. All academic disciplinary action is the function of the College of Public Programs student services office, UCENT 650, under the direction of the dean of the college. Students having academic problems should call this office for advising at 602-496-0600. The mission of the College of Public Programs professional academic advising staff is to assist students in developing meaningful educational plans to meet their academic, career and personal goals in an ongoing process of evaluation and clarification. The advisors strive to perform their duties in a professional, ethical, confidential, accurate and supportive manner, respecting student diversity and needs and always holding the individual in highest regard. The student and advisor should accomplish this process in a spirit of shared responsibility to develop academic excellence, strong decision-making skills and self-reliance. A student who has been admitted to the College of Public Programs is assigned an academic advisor from the academic unit of the student’s major area of study. Questions about advising should be directed to the student’s academic advisor or to the College of Public Programs student services office, UCENT 600. Graduate Policies Academic Catalog Archive 2013-2014 202 Advising Advising is usually handled by graduate faculty or a committee. Once admitted, each student is typically assigned a temporary faculty advisor in the potential areas of specialization; this advisor assists in planning a course of study. For those degree programs requiring the completion of a thesis, a chair and thesis supervisory committee are selected by the director of graduate studies, in consultation with the student and appointed by the dean of the Graduate College. Each graduate degree program in the College of Public Programs has its own set of policies regarding academic performance expectations. Students should contact their graduate advisor to review policies relevant to their degree. Students must fulfill all requirements of their individual graduate programs to remain in good academic standing and abide by all university policies including the Graduate College and the College of Public Programs.

While the school and the university have a number of resources available (e.g., faculty, courses, advisors and tutors) to help in making the decisions, students are expected to take responsibility for their decisions. Good Standing Students in the School of Sustainability are considered in good standing for the purpose of retention if they maintain a cumulative GPA of 2.00 or higher in all courses taken at ASU and maintain critical requirements within their major. Critical Requirements All sustainability students must meet the critical requirements for their intended majors. Students who do not comply with the critical requirements are off track and will have holds placed on their records. They will have to meet with their advisors to have their holds removed. Further registration in their intended majors may not be permitted for those students who still do not meet all critical requirements in the following semester. Probation Any student who does not maintain a cumulative GPA of 2.00 or higher in all courses taken at ASU is placed on academic probation. Probation status for academic reasons begins on the first day of classes of the semester after the semester in which a student has been determined to be on probation. A student on academic probation is required to observe any limitations or rules the school may impose as a condition for retention. Before a student on probation can register for classes in the next semester, he or she must receive advising in the department. Disqualification Students who do not meet probation requirements are subject to disqualification. Disqualified students will not be able to register for classes in the fall or spring semester at the university. Registrations will be canceled for students who have already registered for future fall or spring semesters. Disqualified students may apply for reinstatement through the school. Advising Academic Catalog Archive 2013-2014 203 The School of Sustainability's academic advising center assists undergraduate and graduate students in achieving their personal, educational, cultural and career goals while becoming self-directed, lifelong learners. The school encourages continuing students to meet with their advisors at least once each semester. New students will be required to meet with their advisors before being cleared to register for classes. Office hours are Monday through Friday (excluding university holidays), 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Students should call in advance (480-727-6963) to make their appointments, so advisors can set aside the appropriate time to answer all their questions.

The doctorate in behavioral health is an upgrade for master's-level clinicians who are interested in working at a doctoral level in primary care. Primary care patients can have untreated behavioral conditions that can result in poor clinical outcomes and increased medical costs related to overuse of medical services. Behavioral interventions in primary care have demonstrated improved clinical outcomes and decreased medical costs. A key recommendation in health care reform is improved integration of medical and behavioral care. Traditional doctoral training does not prepare clinicians with the interdisciplinary knowledge required in integrated care; programs continue to graduate clinicians into private-practice settings not aligned with medical providers. This doctorate program reflects a paradigm shift to a curriculum based on: • business entrepreneurship skills, such as writing a business plan, marketing and return on investment specific to health care • evidence-based behavioral interventions for primary care that are efficient and contribute to cost savings by reducing unnecessary medical care services and costs • health care systems, policy, economics and finance, to respond to emerging opportunities in health care reform • medical literacy, to understand common medical conditions seen in primary care and consult effectively with the medical team The curriculum is unique in that it: Academic Catalog Archive 2013-2014 377 • incorporates practicum experience in primary care settings • integrates clinical and professional affiliated faculty as well as faculty associates who are experts and are directly employed in health care environments in the area that they are teaching • is a cohort-based, accelerated program that enables students already holding a clinical master's degree to complete the doctorate in 18 months (part-time enrollment is also available) • is available through ASU Online as a distance-learning program • replaces the dissertation with a clinically focused culminating research project Focused clinical internship experiences are arranged with preceptors and administrators in the student's local health care setting. Rural health and experiences with disadvantaged and multicultural populations are encouraged. Graduates of the program will contribute to a societal transformation by leading to improved access to behavioral care, integration of a behavioral provider on the medical team, improved patient outcome and satisfaction, and decreased cost of care.

Within the master's in communication studies, the notion of advocacy is explored. This is achieved by examining advocacy across the discipline's traditional classifications and within a variety of contexts. This approach allows faculty to journey with students to discover and attend to advocacy in new and unique ways, to collectively theorize and practice advocacy. People who come to our program join the faculty in this endeavor. Advocacy occurs at the intersection of public and private lives, in the space where the two overlap and mutually inform one another, often in complex and challenging ways. It is here that we seek to uncover the ways in which symbols, messages and meaning are constructed and arranged to establish, facilitate, enhance or detract from the social status, social support and social identity of particular and often marginalized groups. Although the faculty recognize fully that one can advocate on one's own behalf, the faculty believe the true work of advocacy involves attending to the other. Advocacy, though, is not limited simply to speaking directly on another's behalf. Rather, advocacy involves working diligently and ethically to create a space, whether it is public or private, in which the other can speak for himself or herself. The advocate uses communication Academic Catalog Archive 2013-2014 387 theory and practice to reclaim space for and to provide voice to the other. Advocacy is a calling to the responsibility we have for others in the global age. The master's in communication studies seeks to provide those interested in advocacy the opportunity to develop the intellectual and conceptual skills necessary to follow that calling.

It emphasizes that major health challenges stem from many factors well beyond disease itself - factors that are: • cultural • ecological • evolutionary • historical • institutional • social • technological Any effective, sustainable solutions to our most pressing global health challenges will need to take all of these factors into account, including the complex ways in which they relate to each other. In this manner, this degree understands health as not simply a product of disease, but rather emerging in the contexts of our complex and interrelated ecology, politics, history, culture, social institutions and evolutionary biology. It also places primacy on how to address the broader (i.e., structural, cultural) bases of ill-health in complicated, ever-changing health challenges in low-resource community settings and a globalizing world. To do this, the degree combines both social and life science theory with on-the-ground research and its application. There is a strong emphasis on collaborative action as key to identifying and addressing global health problems in a sustainable and meaningful way. Students accepted into the program are tied to ongoing interdisciplinary global health projects that address complicated, multi-faceted health challenges that defy easy fixes, such as: • climate-change-related diseases • emerging infectious diseases • obesity Academic Catalog Archive 2013-2014 469 Students develop an applied project to contribute to the team goals. By applying a collaborative, problem-solving format, the master's in global health is intended to provide those planning to enter health or related (i.e., environmental, social) fields with the interdisciplinary orientation, team skills, and social and cultural acuity that the Pew Health Professional Consortium inter-alia has identified as critical but lacking in current health work force training. The degree also emphasizes experiential learning as a way to gain mastery and requires participation in a global internship program based in one of the international partnering communities. Degree Requirements: 30 Credit Hours including the required applied project course (SSH 593). All students are required to take the following four foundational courses (12 credit hours): ASB 510/SSH 510 Health: Social and Biocultural Theories (3) ASB 500 Ethnographic Field Methods (3) ASB 503/SSH 503 Medical Anthropology (3) AML 613 Methods and Concepts in Math Epidemiology OR SSH 591 Principles of Epidemiology for Global Health (3) Substitutes may be permitted by the graduate director, including individualized research, conference and independent study courses with approved faculty. Additional methods-focused courses or graduate-level epidemiology courses can count toward this requirement. Students are also required to complete a minimum of six credits of practicum, six credits of electives and six credit hours of an applied project. Applied projects are completed in consultation with a faculty advisor; options include internship, practicum, a research project, scholarly research paper or an outreach project. All students must maintain a 3.00 (out of 4.00) average GPA on both the iPOS and Graduate GPAs per the Graduate College's satisfactory academic progress policy. Accelerated Degrees: This degree is also offered as an accelerated degree with Global Health, BA Acceptance to the graduate program requires a separate application.

There is, however, substantial opportunity to integrate courses of study across areas in the department. Further, specialized emphases are available that integrate across programs in the university (e.g., integrating cognition, action and perception studies with arts, media and engineering; integrating psychology and law). At the core of doctoral training in psychology is an emphasis on the development of skill in research and quantitative methods. Faculty in all six areas are actively engaged in major research programs. These theoretically grounded research programs address the breadth of psychological processes: • cognitive processes (e.g., attention, language, memory) as they occur within the context of perception and action, personality and issues of stigma and prejudice • cultural influences on psychological processes • evolution and behavior • individual resilience • lifespan developmental aspects of emotion and cognition • neurobiological and psychosocial processes that underlie behavior and health (e.g., drug abuse, stress, heart disease) • prevention of child mental health problems A particularly unique strength of the Department of Psychology is the wealth of outstanding faculty whose specialization is quantitative methods. A breadth of courses and experiences in quantitative methods are available that are well integrated into the areas of research that characterize the department and offer students a rare opportunity to develop expertise in this critical domain. Degree Requirements: 84 credit hours, a written comprehensive exam, an oral comprehensive exam, a prospectus and a dissertation.

The degree is also appropriate for individuals who want to conduct high level research and policy development in public and nonprofit agencies, foundations, and research institutes. Our goal is to develop well-rounded, independent scholars who are grounded in the classic and current literatures of public administration and public policy, skilled in research methods and ready to make a positive and important contribution to the field through teaching and research. We provide a balanced curriculum to ensure mastery of core ideas and materials, as well as the opportunity to develop specialized expertise in two specific subfields as determined by the student and his or her committee. These subfields can focus on any area related to public administration and public policy and can draw on faculty expertise from across the ASU campuses. The doctoral program in public administration and policy with an urbanism concentration permits students to draw upon the extensive resources in urban affairs at ASU. As a result, upon graduation, our Academic Catalog Archive 2013-2014 570 doctoral students are poised for success as productive and active scholars, researchers and teachers. The concentration in urbanism is a mechanism for organizing varied perspectives on urbanism into a collective body of scholarship. The study of public administration is enriched by grounding it in a comprehensive understanding of the characteristics of urban context and the dynamic forces that shape them. The concentration in urbanism leverages the varied interests in urbanism and help emerging scholars as they attempt to compare, contrast and take stock of urbanism. Working with faculty from across a range of departments and programs at ASU, doctoral students will be able to capture the creative tensions that scholarship on urbanism has inspired in order to stimulate a provocative, constructive kind of inquiry. Degree Requirements: 90 credit hours, a written comprehensive exam, an oral comprehensive exam, a prospectus and a dissertation. All applicants are expected to have completed graduate-level statistics and research methods classes before admission. Applicants also are expected to have sufficient formal course work in public administration to pursue doctoral study in the field. The doctoral program is designed to promote the mastery of the core knowledge of public administration and public policy and to develop more specialized expertise in chosen areas of study and research. The plan of study is the combination of course work that the student will successfully complete to earn the doctoral degree. It consists of the doctoral core courses, course work taken to satisfy the focus areas as determined by the student's committee and research and dissertation credits. Accordingly, in the first year, doctoral students take four core courses as a cohort. These courses focus on the foundations of the field, the philosophy of science, and theories and issues in governance, public policy, systems, organizations and human behavior. In the second year, students hone their quantitative and qualitative research skills. In consultation with their plan of study committee (which is assembled in student's third semester), students finalize their plan of study for their two focus areas of study. In the third year, in addition to taking an advanced seminar in research and teaching, students complete their work in their selected focus areas and move forward to a proposal for completing their dissertation. After the student successfully finishes the focus area course work, written and oral comprehensive exams will be completed. The program consists of a minimum of 66 semester hours of graduate work beyond the master's degree. Of the 66 semester hours, at least 24 must be dissertation and research credit. While students may custom design their focus areas in consultation with their plan of study committee, they may also opt for the urbanism concentration option.

Students will study literacy education including elementary reading and writing, adolescent literacy, children's literature and digital literacy, and choose a specialization in literacy education or reading endorsement. Students may tailor their program to complete course work required for a reading endorsement from the Arizona Department of Education. Embedded within the courses in this program are four strands of inquiry: Inclusive education - social justice: The Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College encourages its scholars to pursue teaching and research that will directly impact society in practical and realistic ways. This program will focus on the funds of knowledge, culture, language, literacy abilities and needs of each learner. The program is designed to enhance teachers' skills and dispositions for supporting inclusive educational practices and expanding literacies for a diverse and global society. Technology: Teachers and students alike need to be prepared to face the impact and challenges technology brings to today's learning environments. In the 21st century, the use of technology to gain access to an expanding knowledge base, and as a tool and resource available to teachers and students to broaden their literacy experiences and abilities, is an important component in any educational program. This program will focus on the use of technology in the classroom to enhance learning experiences for students, encourage critical thinking and problem-solving, and as a resource for teaching, assessment and inquiry. Literacy across the curriculum: Literacy is the foundation for learning across traditional disciplines. It is a set of skills, strategies and dispositions that provide support for learning across the content areas. This program will focus on reading, writing, speaking, designing and viewing to promote achievement across content areas. Teacher as reflective practitioner: Reflective teaching is a conscious, systematic and deliberate process of framing and reframing classroom practice in light of the consequences of the actions, beliefs, expectations and experiences teachers bring to the teaching-learning event.
