Institutional Inclusion

ASU is deeply committed to positioning itself as one of the great new universities by seeking to build excellence, enhance access,
and have an impact on our community, state, nation and the world. 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.

At Arizona State University (ASU), the Executive Vice Provost for Academic Affairs/Dean of the Graduate College 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. A list of accredited programs and their accrediting
agencies can be found here.

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 www.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:
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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 inhouse confidential resource and not shared with the site visitors.
4. 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.
5. 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.
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.

Tuition and Fees
Tuition Commitment
Undergraduate Resident Tuition
Arizona State University is committed to providing undergraduate resident students with reasonable tuition rates while they earn
their degree. Degree-seeking undergraduate students are automatically assigned to a tuition cohort [2] upon admission or
readmission and do not need to take any action to benefit from the commitment tuition rate.
The commitment tuition rate [2] applicable to each tuition cohort is initially equal to the approved tuition rate [2] 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 [3]
• Commitment Period [4]
• Commitment Tuition Rate Definitions [2]
• Commitment Tuition Rate FAQs [5]
Note: Continuation of the commitment tuition rate assumes no unusual levels of inflation and no substantial change in the levels of
state support. Tuition and fee information provided here or in other University publications or web pages represent tuition and fees
as currently approved. However, Arizona State University reserves the right to increase or modify tuition and fees without prior
notice, upon approval by the Arizona Board of Regents or as otherwise consistent with Board policy and to make such modifications
applicable to students enrolled at ASU at that time as well as to incoming students. In addition, all tuition amounts and fees are
subject to change at any time for correction of errors. Finally, please note that fee amounts billed for any period may be adjusted at
a future date.

Commitment Tuition Rate
Undergraduate Resident Tuition
The commitment tuition rate [2] applicable to each tuition cohort [2] is initially equal to the approved tuition rate 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 degree seeking resident students are automatically assigned to a tuition cohort upon admission or
readmission and do not need to take any action to benefit from the commitment tuition rate.
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.
Full-time Enrollment for Tuition Purposes
The commitment tuition rate applies for fall/spring semesters during the commitment period in which enrollment exceeds six credit
hours. Undergraduate degree seeking resident students enrolled in six or fewer credit hours are billed the most recently approved
tuition rate. 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.

Academic Catalog Archive 2011-2012 37

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:
• Maricopa-ASU Pathways Program (MAPP)
•
Transfer Admission Guarantee (TAG), or;
•
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 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 [2] 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. Tuition and fee information
provided here or in other University publications or web pages represent tuition and fees as currently approved. However, Arizona
State University reserves the right to increase or modify tuition and fees without prior notice, upon approval by the Arizona Board of
Regents or as otherwise consistent with Board policy and to make such modifications applicable to students enrolled at ASU at that
time as well as to incoming students. In addition, all tuition amounts and fees are subject to change at any time for correction of
errors. Finally, please note that fee amounts billed for any period may be adjusted at a future date.

Commitment Tuition Rate Definitions
Academic Catalog Archive 2011-2012 38

Undergraduate Resident Tuition
Approved Tuition Rate: Undergraduate resident tuition rate approved for each tuition cohort. Non-degree seeking students,
students enrolled in six or fewer credit hours, and students whose commitment period has expired will also pay the most recently
approved tuition rate.
Commitment Tuition Rate: Full-time undergraduate resident tuition rate applicable to each tuition cohort, based on the approved
per credit hour tuition rate at the time of admission or readmission. Increases in tuition will be based off of the initial tuition rate
until the commitment period expires. Full-time undergraduate resident tuition is assessed for enrollment in more than six credit
hours during the fall/spring semester.
Commitment Period: Period of up to five years, as determined by academic level [2] upon admission or readmission and prorated
based upon prior earned credits.
Prior Earned Credits: All credit hours earned prior to semester of admission. Includes hours earned at ASU, other institutions,
through testing, or by any other means.
Tuition Cohort: All undergraduate degree-seeking students admitted or readmitted for a given fall semester. Students admitted
during the preceding summer semester and the following winter session or spring semester are assigned to the fall semester tuition
cohort. If students are admitted to multiple programs, the admit semester of the student's active primary academic program will
determine the tuition cohort.
Note: Continuation of the commitment tuition rate assumes no unusual levels of inflation and no substantial change in the levels of
state support. Tuition and fee information provided here or in other University publications or web pages represent tuition and fees
as currently approved. However, Arizona State University reserves the right to increase or modify tuition and fees without prior
notice, upon approval by the Arizona Board of Regents or as otherwise consistent with Board policy and to make such modifications
applicable to students enrolled at ASU at that time as well as to incoming students. In addition, all tuition amounts and fees are
subject to change at any time for correction of errors. Finally, please note that fee amounts billed for any period may be adjusted at
a future date.

Residency for Tuition Purposes
Under Arizona state law, an applicant or enrolled student is classified either as a resident of Arizona, a nonresident or foreign
student. The term "Arizona resident" for admissions or tuition purposes may differ from other definitions of Arizona residency. A
person who has an Arizona driver license, or who is an Arizona resident for tax, voting or other purposes, may not necessarily be
considered a resident for tuition purposes.
International students that are entitled to reside permanently in the U.S. may be eligible for in-state status classification at the
university. Additional information can be found under the Visa Types section of this page.
Arizona law requires that students who are classified in-state for tuition purposes, or are receiving aid that is funded in part or in
whole by state money, provide verification of citizenship, permanent residency or other lawful immigration status. See
Citizenship/Lawful Presence [2] for additional information.
INFORMATION REGARDING RESIDENCY CLASSIFICATION IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE.

General Information
Residency classification for tuition purposes at ASU is a benefit reserved for Arizona residents who have met the requirements as
established by state law and the Arizona Board of Regents (ABOR) policy. There are no exceptions granted due to unusual
circumstances or financial hardship. That is, Arizona residency is not a scholarship or waiver.
Step 1: Determine Your Classification Category
Residency classiication is based on the information from your admission application. If you are classified as a nonresident and wish
to be reclassified as a resident, it may be necessary to submit additional documentation. Please read through the Residency
Reclassification Survey [3] to determine what documentation you may need to submit.

Academic Catalog Archive 2011-2012 39

Step 2: Initiate Your Residency Petition or Verification form
Submit the appropriate residency petition form (see the Residency Reclassification Survey [3] or the Classification Categories [4] page
for additional information) along with your $50.00 non-refundable petition fee to the Residency Classification Office, if required.
**Note: Verification categories do not require the submission of the $50.00 fee.
Step 3: The Petition Process
The Residency Classification Office may also request additional documentation after the initial review of your application.
Applications and accompanying documentation will be retained by Arizona State University in accordance with university approved
requirements. All information will be kept confidential as required by law and university policies. In making residency
determinations, the university considers all information provided in or with an application, as well as any other available information
relevant to the application. Decisions to approve a residency application are made when the applicant has presented clear and
convincing evidence that a permanent domicile in the state of Arizona has been established.
NOTE: A $50.00 non-refundable fee needs to be received with the submission of a reclassification petition before it can be
marked as complete and evaluated.
Step 4: The Petition Decision
Processing time for a completed petition is approximately 4-6 weeks. For petitioners wanting a residency decision prior to the
tuition/fee payment deadline, it is suggested that the completed petition, including the $50.00 fee and all required documents, be
submitted at least four weeks prior to the first tuition/fee payment deadline. A petition will not be considered complete until all
requested documents have been submitted to the Residency Classification Office.
If you submitted a petition for reclassification and were denied by the Residency Classification Office, you have the right to request
an appeal of that decision.
Warning: Misrepresentation or falsification of information can be costly.
Students are expected to be honest with all information presented in connection with the petition process, and by submitting a
notarized petition, confirm that all information is true and complete. Students who petition for reclassification subscribe and swear
to the following statement:
"All statements, information, and evidence presented are true and complete. I understand that if I provide false information, if I
make a material misrepresentation or omission in connection with my Petition for Change of Residency, or if I make any effort to
fraudulently claim Arizona as my state of legal domicile, it will jeopardize my case for residency and subject me to disciplinary action,
dismissal for the University...and may result in civil and criminal liability. I hereby grant permission for ASU representatives to verify
any supporting evidence submitted with this petition."
Petitioners who have omitted, falsified or misrepresented any information will be referred to Student Judicial Affairs [5] for
disciplinary action.

Deadlines
Students may submit a petition for residency according to the following schedule:
Residency Appeal Deadline Dates*

(A.R.S. 15-1801 to 1807)
Citizenship/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

Academic Catalog Archive 2011-2012 40

by state money provide verification of citizenship, permanent residency or other lawful immigration status. If you are already
classified as a resident to tuition purposes and you still need to verify your status, please go to Citizenship/Lawful Presence [2] for
additional information.
Financial Aid and Residency Eligibilty
If you have a change in residency your financial aid will be reduced and institutional scholarships will be adjusted or cancelled.
Students will be responsible for paying any resulting charges on thier student account. Check with Student Finanical Assistance [8] in
order to determine how these changes will affect your award(s). In the event of a financial aid adjustment, you will be notified by email to check My ASU for new award information.
Visa Types And Residency Eligibility
Visa Types and Residency Eligibility List [9]
Among non-U.S. citizens, only persons who are entitled to reside permanently in the U.S. are eligible for in-state status classification
at the university. These individuals, like U.S. citizens, must still prove that they have established domicile in Arizona as defined in
Arizona Board of Regent's policy. In other words, having the privilege of remaining permanently in the U.S. is a necessary, but not a
sufficient, condition to obtaining in-state classification at the university. At present, non-citizens who are entitled to reside
permanently in the U.S. and are eligible for the benefit of in-state tuition at Arizona State University.
Students must clearly and convincingly prove that they are permanent residents of Arizona. A temporary, non-immigrant visa will
not allow a person to obtain a permanent status in Arizona regardless of the length of the visa or the number of times it is renewed.
Continuing eligibility to remain classified as a resident student for tuition purposes depends upon the continued maintenance of
eligible immigration status. Students that change to a non-eligible classification status may be changed to a status of non-resident.
Students with eligible classifications (see the Visa Types & Residency Eligibility List [9]) who feel they may qualify for a change in
status should contact the Residency Classification Office at 480-965-7712 for more information.
NOTE: This information has been compiled and approved via university policies and procedures.

threshold are required to pay an Excess Hours Tuition Surcharge [3]. Students who have more than 145 credit hours will be assessed
the Undergraduate Excess Hours Tuition Surcharge.

matched by the State of Arizona. For more information, please visit the Financial Aid Trust Grant [7] website.
Arizona Students' Association (ASA) Fee
The Arizona Students' Association is a nonprofit, higher education advocacy organization that represents Arizona public university
students to the Arizona Board of Regents, State Legislature, and U.S. Congress. During 1996-1997, students at the state universities
voted to change the mechanism for funding the ASA to a fee charged to each student each semester.

or longer. The 100% refund period is one week for sessions shorter than eight weeks and for dynamically dated classes. For classes

semester start date. Students are required to pay tuition and fees owed for enrollment cancellations that occur after the refund
period.

Steps for Freshman Enrollment
Fall and Summer 2011
Apply for Admission
Complete an application for admission. [2]

(Visa/Mastercard).
8. Ask each high school and college you have attended to send your official transcripts directly to ASU. Hand-delivered transcripts

from your school to ASU. Your final high school transcript must show your date of graduation.
Undergraduate Admissions’ Mailing Address:
Undergraduate Admissions
Arizona State University
PO Box 870112
Tempe, AZ 85287-0112
Activate Accounts [6]After you have applied for admission, you will be issued an ASURITE ID, which will give you access to online
student services, including those at My ASU [3], such as the ability to check your admission status. While you activate your ASURITE
ID, be sure to set up your asu.edu email address so you can receive important messages from ASU.
After Admission
Pay Your Enrollment Deposit
Upon admission, first-time freshmen pay an enrollment deposit [7]. The deposit may be paid on My ASU [3]. Apply for Financial
Aid and Scholarships [8] ASU encourages all students to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA [9]). The
FAFSA becomes available in January. ASU's priority date for submission is March 1. Students do not need to be admitted to ASU to
submit a FAFSA and begin the process; however, only admitted students are awarded aid. Search and apply for scholarships that
may fit your profile, talents and academic interests.
Note that Arizona law requires verification of citizenship or other lawful presence [10] in the United States for all students who are
receiving in-state tuition and/or financial aid funded by state money.
Next Steps for Admitted Freshmen After Deposit
Confirm Housing and Dining [11] All freshmen are expected to live on the campus where their academic major is located. Students
who live on campus for at least their first year have higher GPAs and a more successful transition from high school to college. Once
you have paid your deposit, you can confirm your housing preferences online at My ASU [3]. (Allow 24 hours for your deposit to
post.) If you are living at home with your parents or have other special circumstances that prevent you from living on campus, you
must notify the university by requesting an on-campus housing exemption. Orientation and Registration [12] Once you have paid
your enrollment deposit, you can sign up for Orientation. During orientation, you will be able to meet with your academic advisor,
determine courses and register for classes. You will also be able to get your Sun Card, learn more about financial aid and other
university resources, and meet other new students. You must have submitted an ACT or SAT score to ASU and also have completed
the math placement exam [13] before you will be able to register for classes at orientation. The university uses this information to
guide you to the appropriate freshman English composition course and freshman math course. You will receive further information
and instructions with your orientation reservation materials. In the meantime, to see if ASU has your scores on file, click on "Test
Scores" in the "My Admission and Orientation" box on My ASU [14]. If you have taken AP, IB, and/or CLEP exams, request that
your scores be sent directly to ASU.
Submit Immunization Verification [15] Your MMR verification must be submitted to ASU before Orientation so you can register for
classes. Explore Summer School Options [16] Get a jump start on your ASU experience by enrolling in summer sessions.
Admission to ASU for the fall semester allows you to register for summer classes without submitting another application. Plan to
attend an early orientation program to consult with your advisor on both fall and summer class selection. ASU's summer course
listing is available in February.
Parking Decals and Commuter Options [17] Students may purchase parking decals online. (Students living in the residence halls will
receive information with their hall assignments.) ASU also offers a variety of commuter options including discounted public bus and
light rail passes, and free shuttles between ASU campuses.
Tuition and Fees [18] Tuition is based on your residency for tuition purposes status. Note that Arizona law requires verification of
citizenship or other lawful presence [10] in the United States for all students who are receiving in-state tuition and/or financial aid
funded by state money.
Tuition charges will be billed to your student account and may be viewed online through My ASU after registration. By registering for
classes you agree to pay all applicable tuition and registration fees. If you decide not to attend, you must completely withdraw from
all classes before the semester begins. If tuition is not paid by the applicable due date, or financial aid is not awarded and accepted
by the due date, you will automatically be enrolled in the tuition installment plan and charged a nonrefundable enrollment fee.
Access online billing at My ASU [3] (click Finances then Pay). Students are responsible for reviewing their ASU e-mail account for
notification of billing statements and to review their student account on My ASU for current information. Billing statements are not
mailed. Attend Fall Welcome [19]

NOTE: you must submit official transcript(s) from any institution(s) you attended during your absence from ASU. 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 applicants themselves or transmitted by fax. See Mailing Address.
Readmission Requirements
If you are not eligible for "Quick Re-entry" (i.e., because you have not been enrolled at ASU for three or more semesters, completed
your academic program or were academically disqualified), you must apply for readmission [5] 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. Students who do not
meet this GPA requirement may appeal. In these cases, the completed application for readmission may be subject to a due date that
is earlier than the application deadline.
NOTE: you must submit official transcript(s) from any institution(s) you attended during your absence from ASU. Official transcripts
must be mailed directly to Undergraduate Admissions by the records office of the issuing institution(s). ASU does not accept
transcripts sent or carried by hand by applicants themselves or transmitted by fax. See Mailing Address. Read more about
transferring college credit to ASU [6].
Preferential Application Deadlines

official transcripts, test scores and supporting credentials immediately.
I was previously admitted to ASU but did not attend. Am I a readmission student or a transfer student? If you have previously
been admitted to ASU but did not attend, you will be considered a freshman student [7] or a transfer student [8].
Application Procedures
1. Complete the Undergraduate Admission Application [5]. ASU prefers that you apply online.
2. Submit the nonrefundable application fee:
• Arizona Residents - $50.
• Non-residents - $65.
If applying to an Online degree program a nonrefundable application fee of $65 will be charged regardless of residency
classification.
3. Request that an official transcript be sent directly from your school(s) to Undergraduate Admissions. Upon completion of the
semester, request that a final transcript be sent directly to ASU to determine final admission status. A student who does not meet
readmission requirements for his/her selected major must submit complete transcripts before an admissions decision is made.
Students need only submit transcripts from institutions other than ASU. NOTE: Receipt of your final transcript impacts financial aid
disbursement and eligibility to register for future classes.
4. All applicants on F1 or J1 visas must provide a Financial Guarantee to show evidence of sufficient funds available for their studies
before the application can be processed. In addition, US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) requires ASU to obtain
additional information prior to processing your visa application. You must go to My ASU [3] and login, and then update address
information showing Local and SEVIS addresses (list current US address as Local Address; add home country address as SEVIS
Address). Please note that if you are readmitted, you must still meet all deadlines associated with the issuance of an I-20 to attend
ASU. These deadlines are dependent upon your current location. Contact the International Student Office at ASU for immigration

Admission Before Receipt of Final Transcript
Applicants enrolled in other colleges and universities may be considered for readmission on the basis of meeting all readmission
requirements, except for a final transcript of work in progress. This final transcript must be sent to Undergraduate Admissions
directly from the issuing institution immediately after the work in progress has been completed. Transcripts carried by hand are not

accepted.
Admission is official only after the final transcript has been received showing that the applicant has met the university readmission
requirements. In the event the applicant does not qualify or has falsified application documents, readmission and registration are
canceled, and any registration fees paid are returned according to university refund policies.
Veterans Exception
By Arizona statute, no failing grades received by a veteran at an Arizona university or community college before military service may
be considered when determining admissibility. This exception applies only to veterans who
• are honorably discharged;
• have served in the armed forces of the United States for a minimum of two years; and
• have previously enrolled at a university or community college in Arizona.
Military service records must be submitted, including form DD 214.
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.
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:
• 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.

Leave of Absence
Undergraduate Student Leave of Absence [11]
If a student needs to take an extended break from their studies at the University they may be eligible for a Leave of Absence. The
Undergraduate Student Leave of Absence (LOA) policy assists and encourages students to return and graduate after an absence of
more than two consecutive fall and spring semesters from ASU. Students who have more than two consecutive semesters of
absence and who have been granted a leave of absence need not apply for readmission or pay readmission fees and may participate
in their regularly scheduled registration/enrollment period upon return to the University.

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 (AGEC).
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 but may not apply to degrees articulated with the Transfer Guide Pathway TG-XR. Students
completing the AGEC will still be required to fulfill lower-division program requirements and prerequisites within their college and
major/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, fine/creative arts, or health professions) have significant prerequisites and/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 and/or a major area of study are advised to fulfill requirements and prerequisites identified by these
programs through transfer guides and/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, e.g., Associate Transfer
Partnership Degrees (ATP). Nor does the AGEC eliminate the possibility that students who have identified the university they plan to
attend and/or a major area of study will follow transfer guides provided by the state universities.

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). 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.
Summer Session Semester Hour Load

Academic Catalog Archive 2011-2012 71

The summer session credit hour load limit is seven credit hours for each six-week session, nine credit hours for the eight-week
session, and 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 post-baccalaureate) 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 (pre-admission credit
hours). Only graduate courses with a grade of “B” (3.00) or higher may be included on a graduate plan of study. Pre-admission
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 pre-admission 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 towards 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].

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 about each type of exam, the courses that are equivalent, and other conditions that may
apply to credit being awarded is provided below.
• 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 education institution after credit by examination has been awarded.
Exception: Students who take the advanced placement exams, however, may choose either 1) to have the credit earned by
advanced placement kept in their cumulative University hours or 2) to complete the ASU course and have its credit and grade
instead, regardless of 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.
College-level Examination Program (CLEP) – can be taken before or during enrollment at ASU.
Advanced Placement (AP) – taken during secondary school or before enrollment at ASU.
DANTES or DSST(Defense Activity for Nontraditional Education Support Subject Standardized Test) – taken by military or approved
government personnel before or during enrollment at ASU.
International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma/Certificate – earned by students of an International Baccalaureate®-approved school
before enrollment at ASU.
Comprehensive Examinations – can be taken by current ASU students.
Proficiency Examinations – 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 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.
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

Academic Catalog Archive 2011-2012 72

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. For more information, contact University Testing and
Scanning Services at 480-965-7146, or visit 1130 E. University Dr., Suite 204, Tempe, AZ.

Advanced Placement
Students who have taken an advanced placement (AP) course of the College Entrance Examination Board (CEEB) in their secondary
school and who have taken an AP Examination of the CEEB may receive university credit. No credit is given for any examination with
a score of 2 or 1. There is no limit to the number of AP credits that can be used to meet the General Studies requirement, including
the requirements in natural sciences (SQ and SG) and literacy and critical inquiry (L).
When the scores are received by the university directly from the CEEB, credit is awarded as shown in the Advanced Placement Credit

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. Have earned not more than 60 semester hours of credit through comprehensive, CLEP, international baccalaureate, and
advanced placement examinations.
2. Have earned no credit for a duplicate course.
3. Have earned no credit for a course for which this course is a prerequisite.

Academic Catalog Archive 2011-2012 78

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
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. To waive a course requirement.
2. To validate certain transfer credits in professional programs.
3. 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 regist

Placement and Testing Requirements

English Placement
All new, transfer, or readmitted undergraduate students who plan to enroll for seven or more semester hours must meet one of the
following testing requirements. 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.
• 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 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 instution, the equivalency is
automatically posted and the student need not take further action. A student transferring a non-articulated composition
course from any other college or university may be required to submit documentation to determine equivalency of the
course(s). After consultation with an advisor, if evaluation is necessary, the student should provide a copy of both the
transfer transcript and the catalog description of the course to the Writing Programs Office in LL 314, 480-965-3853 on the
Tempe campus or the Writing Programs Office in FABN 201A, 602-543-6091 on the West campus.
• International students from non-English-speaking countries 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 by the Composition Office.
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 [1] for placement into a first-year English composition course.
Math Placement

Retention and Academic Standards
Class Standing
A student’s class standing is determined by the number of hours earned, as shown in the table below.
Class Standing
Student

Hours Earned

Freshman
Sophomore
Junior
Senior
Graduate

24 or fewer semester hours earned
25 to 55 semester hours earned
56 to 86 semester hours earned
87 or more semester hours earned
Bachelor’s degree from accredited institution

Academic Good Standing
For the purpose of retention, academic good standing for degree-seeking students is defined in the table below.
Academic Good Standing
Total Earned Hours

Minimum Cumulative GPA

24 or fewer
25 to 55
56 or more

1.60
1.75
2.00

A student who does not maintain the minimum GPA standard is placed on academic probation or is disqualified. A student on
academic probation is in conditional good standing and is permitted to enroll. A student who has been disqualified is not in
academic good standing and is not permitted to enroll for fall or spring semesters.
To transfer from one college to another within the university or to be eligible for readmission, a student must have 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 section, 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

Academic Catalog Archive 2011-2012 80

retention.
Ineligible
A student who is placed on ineligible status at the end of a semester is considered ineligible to continue in the college/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/school. At the close of the semester, a student deemed ineligible will receive a letter from the
college/school outlining 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
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/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/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 student who is disqualified 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 consult with an academic advisor to determine eligibility to attend ASU
in the summer or winter 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 [1].
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 Definition
What is a violation of the academic integrity policy?
The ASU student academic integrity policy lists violations in detail. These violations fall into five broad areas that include but are not
limited to:
• 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
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 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

Academic Catalog Archive 2011-2012 81

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.
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)
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 the
Associate Vice President of Research. 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.

Student Obligations to Academic Integrity
Each student must act with honesty and integrity, and must respect the rights of others in carrying out all academic assignments. 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:
• Engages in any form of academic deceit;
• 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;
• 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;
• Acts as a substitute for another person in any Academic Evaluation or assignment;
• Uses a substitute in any Academic Evaluation or assignment;
• 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;
• 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;
• Engages in Plagiarism;
• 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;
• Claims credit for or submits work done by another;
• 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;
• Falsifying or misrepresenting hours or activities in relationship to an internship, externship, field experience,clinical activity or
similar activity; or
• Attempts to influence or change any Academic Evaluation, assignment or academic record for reasons having no relevance to
academic achievement.
Source URL: http://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.
• Complaint.
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.
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.
• Response to Complaint.
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:
a reduced grade for an assignment, or
a reduced grade for the course.
• 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.
• 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.
• Information regarding the allegation or resolution may be provided to appropriate university representatives.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.

Review by College/School Board
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• The Dean, Director or designee will forward the student's statement to the Chair of the College/School Board.
• 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.

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.
Academic Catalog Archive 2011-2012 84

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.

The Grade of "XE"

Academic Catalog Archive 2011-2012 86

The Grade of "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 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 University or
another institution. If the student's representation is later discovered to be false, the "XE" grade may be reinstated.

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.
Harm to Student
23.
If students cheat in a course or another academic exercise, they are taking away from themselves the opportunity to learn.
24.
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.
25.
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 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.

University Policy for Student Appeal Procedures on Grades
Academic Catalog Archive 2011-2012 87

Informal
The steps outlined on this page, beginning with step A, must be followed by any student seeking to appeal a grade. 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 go to the faculty member in charge of the course (regular
faculty member or director of the course sequence) with the problem.
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. Grade changes, if
any are recommended, 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.

University Undergraduate General Studies Requirement

A baccalaureate education should not only prepare students for a particular profession or advanced study, but 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.
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: 1) mathematics (MA) is the acquisition of essential skill 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

Academic Catalog Archive 2011-2012 88

for which college algebra is a prerequisite, and 2) 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 the computer to assist in
serious analytical math work.
This requirement has two parts: 1) 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 2) 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 mathematics (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: 1) humanities, fine arts, and design (HU), and 2) social
and behavioral sciences (SB). Two conditions must be satisfied: 1) six credit hours must be taken in one of these two core areas and
nine hours in the other core area, and 2) 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 methods of the 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. First-hand
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).
• Natural Science—Quantitative (SQ): these laboratory courses include a substantial introduction to the fundamental behavior of
matter and energy in physical and biological systems.
• 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 area(s) 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 to 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 that can be useful in
shaping the present and future. History is present in languages, art, music, literature, philosophy, religion and the natural sciences,

Academic Catalog Archive 2011-2012 89

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:
26.
A single course may be used to satisfy one core area and a maximum of two awareness area requirements.
27.
A single course may be used to satisfy a maximum of two awareness area requirements.
28.
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 (AP) or College-Level Examination Program (CLEP) credits that can be used to
meet the General Studies requirement; see Credit by Examination [2]. However, the natural sciences (SQ and SG) and literacy and
critical inquiry (L) portions of the General Studies requirement are not satisfied by CLEP.
Transfer Credit
The Arizona General Education Curriculum (AGEC), offered by Arizona community colleges, is composed of 35 credit hours of lowerdivision 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
course-by-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
requirements. A well-planned program should enable a student to concurrently satisfy requirements at the university, college or
school levels and within their major.

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 in independent learning courses and/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; 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 (AGEC) 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

Academic Catalog Archive 2011-2012 90

baccalaureate program. International students from non-English-speaking countries 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
Writing Programs Office. After consultation with an advisor, if evaluation is necessary, the student should provide a copy of the
transfer transcript and catalog description of the course(s) to the Writing Programs Office in LL 314, 480/965-3853 on the Tempe
campus or the Writing Programs Office in FABN 201A, 602/543-6091 on the West campus. Students should complete the process
upon transfer of coursework to ASU so that the student is able to enroll in additional courses if required to do so. 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.
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 whether attending a single Arizona community college or public
university or transferring among public institutions in Arizona while pursuing their degrees. Students transferring among Arizona
public higher education institutions must meet the admission, residency and all curricular and academic requirements of the degreegranting institution.
• 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 in number one 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.

Application for Graduation
For information on how to apply for graduation and deadline dates visit: http://students.asu.edu/graduation [3].
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 2011-2012 93

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
that 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
3.60–3.79
3.80–4.00

cum laude
magna cum laude
summa cum laude

The cumulative GPA for these designations is based on only ASU resident course work. 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 Section, 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.
Concurrent Degrees
More than one baccalaureate degree may be pursued concurrently if prior approval is given by the standards committee(s) of the
college(s) 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. eAdvisor assists students in
29.
learning more about graduation requirements for their major.
30.
Discerning what critical courses and grades are required to stay on track to successfully complete their degree.
31.
Planning for and scheduling appropriate courses in the correct sequence to maximize success.
32.
Monitoring progress toward their degree.

Academic Catalog Archive 2011-2012 94

33.
Finding 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 rquirements and optimal eight semester plan. If students to
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. When students do not meet the critical requirements for two consecutive semesters, they are
considered off-track, and may be advised to change majors.

Introduction
The Graduate College admits students into programs leading to both professional and research‐oriented
advanced degrees beyond the bachelor’s degree. The master’s and doctoral degrees are awarded to students
completing programs that culminate in research and creative endeavors. The Ph.D. 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. University policies related to
academic integrity and code of conduct are available in the Office of Student Life. 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, 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. The Graduate College highly
recommends that assignments, research papers, theses and dissertations be run through Safe Assignment.

Graduate Student Responsibilities
Graduate students are responsible for familiarizing themselves with all graduate policies and procedures. Each
student should also communicate directly with their 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 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 Graduate College, applicants should review information regarding the
degree program, and academic unit application requirements and deadlines. Students who have an approved
leave of absence on file with the Graduate College prior to their departure and are re‐entering the same degree
program for the semester immediately following the approved leave, are not required to submit a new
application.

Application Fee
Each application to an ASU graduate program must be accompanied by a nonrefundable application fee, payable
by credit card at the time of submission. The application fee is devoted to the Graduate College administrative
cost of processing all applications and is not refundable under any circumstance.
Ç Domestic application fee: $70;
Ç 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 they may follow the progress of their
application through MyASU.

Application Requirements
Applicants must submit official transcripts from all post‐secondary institutions previously attended to the
Graduate College (see graduate.asu.edu/admissions). Academic units may have admission requirements in
addition to those of the Graduate College. 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.
All documents received by the Graduate College in connection with an application become property of the ASU
Graduate College and will not be returned.

Post­Baccalaureate Non­Degree Programs
Applicants who do not immediately intend to pursue a graduate degree may apply as a post‐baccalaureate non‐
degree student. The application process does not require the submission of academic credentials or test scores
unless applying to a graduate certificate program.
Non‐degree applicants must have earned a bachelor’s degree from a U.S. regionally accredited institution or the
equivalent of a U.S. bachelor’s 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 nine credit hours
taken within three years of admission to a master’s degree program and twelve credit hours prior to admission
to a doctoral degree.
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 granting permission for you to
take classes.

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”. For additional information see
http://graduate.asu.edu/admissions/after_you_apply.

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 Graduate College; only the Dean
of the Graduate College can make formal offers of admission.
Applicants may check 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 to the email address on record.

Admission Types
Ç Regular Admission: Applicant satisfies all requirements for admission and is academically acceptable to
both the degree program and the Graduate College.
Ç 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.
Ç Provisional Admission: Applicant does not meet minimum academic standards with respect to grade
point averages as required by the Graduate College 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. The Graduate College will withdraw students from the degree
program who have not meet 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.

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: http://graduate.asu.edu/admissions/international/visa_immigration

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.

**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 full‐
time enrollment must be previously approved by the International Student and Scholars Office (ISSO).

Maximum Course Load
The Graduate College does not have a maximum credit hour enrollment policy. It is expected that academic
advisors 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, 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 or winter registration is required
for students taking examinations, completing culminating experiences, defending theses or dissertations, or
graduating from the degree program.
To maintain continuous enrollment the credit hour(s) must:
Ç Appear on the student’s Plan of Study, OR
Ç Be research (592, 792), thesis (599), dissertation (799), or continuing registration (595, 695, 795), OR
Ç Be a graduate‐level course.

*Effective 11/17/2010. Consult online version of Graduate Policies for the most current information:
graduate.asu.edu/academic_policies.html
Academic Catalog Archive 2011-2012 105

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
http://www.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.
Detailed information and application procedures regarding Graduate Assistantships can be found at
http://graduate.asu.edu/financing/tara.

Leave of Absence
Graduate students planning to discontinue enrollment for a semester or more must request approval for a leave
of absence; this request must be filed and approved before the anticipated absence. Students may petition the
Graduate College for a leave of absence for a maximum of two semesters during their entire program. A petition
for a leave of absence, endorsed by the members of the student’s supervisory committee and the head of the
academic unit, must be approved by the Graduate College Dean prior to the semester of the leave request.
An approved leave of absence will enable students to re‐enter their program without re‐applying to the
university. Students who do not enroll for a fall or spring semester without an approved leave of absence by the
Graduate College 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.
A student on leave is not required to pay fees, but in turn is not permitted to place any demands on university
faculty or use any university resources.

Voluntary Withdrawal from ASU
If a student wishes to withdraw from all graduate degree programs and the university, they must complete the
Voluntary Withdrawal form. Students must still 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 students 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: http://students.asu.edu/withdrawal.
For course withdrawals contact the University Registrar’s Office.

Involuntary Withdrawal by the Graduate College
Any student who does not comply with the Graduate College policies may be withdrawn from their graduate
program after review by the Graduate College Dean.
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 Graduate College, documenting the issue, communication with the
student, and the failure of the student to remedy the issue. Only the Graduate College Dean may withdraw a
student from a graduate program due to lack of compliance with satisfactory academic progress policies.

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.
Ç The iPOS GPA is calculated on all courses that appear on the student’s approved iPOS.
Ç 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.

*Effective 11/17/2010. Consult online version of Graduate Policies for the most current information:
graduate.asu.edu/academic_policies.html
Academic Catalog Archive 2011-2012 107

Transfer credits and 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 withdrawn from their program based on the academic unit’s
recommendation to the Graduate College. The Graduate College Dean 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.
2. 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.
3. Satisfy all requirements of the graduate degree program.
4. Satisfy the maximum time limit for graduation from the student’s graduate degree program (six years
for master’s, ten years for doctoral).
5. Doctoral students must comply with the five year time limit for graduation after passing the
comprehensive examinations.
6. Successfully pass comprehensive exams, qualifying exams, foreign language exams, and the oral defense
of the proposal/prospectus for the thesis or dissertation.
7. Successfully complete the culminating experience and, if required, the oral defense of the culminating
experience.
8. Graduate students must remain continuously enrolled in their degree program. Failing to do so without
an approved leave of absence is considered to be lack of academic progress and may lead to automatic
withdrawal of the student from the degree program.

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.

Page: 12
*Effective 11/17/2010. Consult online version of Graduate Policies for the most current information:
graduate.asu.edu/academic_policies.html
Academic Catalog Archive 2011-2012 108

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, or a thesis or equivalent.
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.

The Plan of Study (iPOS)
The Plan of Study (iPOS) functions as a contract between the student, the academic unit, and the Graduate
College. The iPOS contains certain degree requirements such as coursework 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 Graduate College Dean.
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.
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 http://www.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 College 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 from a previously awarded Master’s degree toward their doctoral plan of study.

Petitions
A formal request for an exception to Graduate College policy requires a petition to be completed by the student,
and approved by the committee chair and the head of the academic unit. The Graduate College will review the
petition and make a final determination.

Pre­Admission/Transfer Credit
Pre­Admission Credits
Credit hours completed before the semester and year of admission to an ASU graduate degree program are
considered pre‐admission credits. With approval of the degree program and the Graduate College, a maximum
of 9 credit hours of pre‐admission credits may be included on the iPOS for a master’s degree and a maximum of
12 credit hours for a doctoral degree provided the credits have not been used in a previously awarded degree
program. Only pre‐admission credits earned in graduate‐level courses with a grade of "B" (3.00) or higher taken
within three years of admission may be used toward a graduate degree. Pre‐admission credits must be from a
regionally accredited U.S. institution or an international institution officially recognized by that country. If the
pre‐admission courses were taken at an institution other than ASU, official transcripts must be provided to
Graduate Enrollment Services.

Graduate Credits Earned by Undergraduate Students
Pre‐admission credit hours earned in graduate‐level courses (per Graduate College policy) by undergraduate
students may count toward their 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.
An undergraduate degree and a graduate degree may not be awarded during the same term of enrollment.
Students must be admitted and enrolled as a graduate student to earn a master’s or doctoral degree at ASU.

Non­ASU Transfer Credits
Transfer credits are those accepted from another institution for inclusion on an ASU Plan of Study. Transfer
credits must be from a regionally accredited U.S. institution or an international institution officially recognized
by that country. Official transcripts must be sent to Graduate Enrollment Services from the records office of the
institution where the credits were earned.
Transfer hours may not exceed 20 percent of the total credit hours for a master's degree, and 12 credit hours for
doctoral degrees. Only graduate‐level courses with grades of "A" (4.00) or "B" (3.00) taken within three years of
admission to the ASU graduate degree program may be transferred. Transfer credits may not be applied toward
the minimum degree requirements for an ASU degree if they have been used for a previously‐awarded degree.

Academic Catalog Archive 2011-2012 110

Certain types of graduate credits cannot be transferred to ASU, including credits awarded:
Ç By post‐secondary institutions that lack candidate status or accreditation by a regional accrediting
association, or an equivalent international institution.
Ç For life experience.
Ç For courses taken at non‐collegiate institutions (e.g., government agencies, corporations, and
industrial firms).
Ç For courses, workshops, and seminars offered by other postsecondary institutions as part of
continuing education programs.
Ç 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 Graduate College Dean.

Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law Credit
The Graduate College 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 Graduate College.

Repeating ASU Courses
Graduate students (degree or non‐degree) may retake any course at ASU; however, all grades 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 Graduate College for a re‐examination but must pass the examination in no more than three
attempts.

Master’s Degree
Master’s 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 comprehensive examination or thesis without an approved
iPOS.

graduate.asu.edu/academic_policies.html
Academic Catalog Archive 2011-2012 111

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, six (and only six) 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 may not include 599 Thesis credits.

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 applied project, or before the student can register for 599 Thesis credits (if applicable). The
committee is appointed by the Graduate College Dean upon the recommendation of the head of the academic
unit. 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 additional 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. Students must be physically present at the oral defense of their thesis. Students must be registered
for:
Ç At least one semester hour of credit that appears on the Plan of Study; OR
Ç At least one semester hour of appropriate graduate‐level credit, for example: Research (592), Thesis
(599), or Continuing Registration (595 or 695); OR
Ç 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
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 Graduate College 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 oral defense of an applied project is required and must be completed to
the satisfaction of the supervisory committee.

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.
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, winter, 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. The results of the
examination must be reported to the Graduate College within the semester it is completed. Failing the
comprehensive examination is considered final unless the supervisory committee and the head of the academic
unit recommend re‐examination. A petition 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 Graduate College Dean
before a student can take the re‐examination. Only one re‐examination is permitted and must be administered
no sooner than three months and no later than one year from the date of the original examination. If the
student’s petition for re‐examination is not approved or the student fails the re‐examination, the Graduate
College will withdraw the student from their degree program.
Students choosing to appeal the results of their comprehensive examinations must follow the grade appeals
process outlined by their academic unit.
Foreign language requirements, if applicable, must be fulfilled before taking the comprehensive examinations.

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.

Academic Catalog Archive 2011-2012 113

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 may not 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 Graduate College Dean.

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:
Ç Time period since initial enrollment (10 year time limit); OR
Ç 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
Graduate College Dean. If a time limit exception is approved, the student may need to re‐take the
comprehensive examinations. The Graduate College 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 Graduate College Dean 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 Graduate College Dean and each degree program
maintains the list of faculty approved by the Graduate College to do so. Most resident faculty at ASU may serve
on dissertation committees with the proviso that they have appropriate expertise in the discipline.
All Ph.D. programs have a Graduate Faculty. The Graduate Faculty in a Ph.D. program may also include highly
qualified individuals from outside the university who have been approved to serve on committees. Each Ph.D.
program maintains the list of faculty approved by the Graduate College to chair or co‐chair Ph.D. dissertations.
Additional information regarding ASU Graduate Faculty can be found at
http://graduate.asu.edu/graduate_faculty_initiative.
Doctoral students (including PhD, DMA, DBH, DNP and EdD) are urged to communicate with their academic unit

The final committee membership must be appointed by the Graduate College Dean 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, winter, spring or summer session that the student takes the comprehensive examination(s), they
are required to register for :
Ç At least one semester hour of credit that appears on the Plan of Study; OR
Ç At least one semester hour of appropriate graduate‐level credit, for example: Research (792),
Dissertation (799), or Continuing Registration (795); OR
Ç At least one hour of a graduate‐level course.
All comprehensive examination results must be reported to the Graduate College 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 Graduate College 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 Graduate College Dean 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 Graduate College Dean 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 Graduate College 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).
Students choosing to appeal the results of their comprehensive examinations must follow the grade appeals
process outlined by their academic unit.

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 Graduate College. 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 Graduate College Dean 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, the Graduate College may withdraw the student from the degree program.

Doctoral Candidacy
Doctoral students (with specific degree program exceptions approved by the Graduate College Dean) 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 Graduate College policies and procedures. The composition of the dissertation is defined by
the degree program with the approval of the Graduate College Dean.
The dissertation research experience culminates in a final oral exam, commonly known as the “dissertation
defense.” A final public dissertation defense is required. 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:
Ç At least one semester hour of credit that appears on the Plan of Study; OR
Ç At least one semester hour of appropriate graduate‐level credit, for example: Research (792),
Dissertation (799), or Continuing Registration (795); OR
Ç 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.

Other Graduate Educational Opportunities
Graduate Certificates
The graduate certificate is a programmatic series of linked courses. Graduate certificates facilitate professional
growth for people who already hold the baccalaureate degree. For more information on current graduate
certificates see the Graduate Degree and Certificate Search page.

Certificate Admission
All applications for graduate certificate programs must be submitted through http://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 Graduate College 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 Graduate College scholarship requirements have been met.
Students must submit an iPOS for the graduate certificate program.

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 Graduate College. 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
Graduate College 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 petition for a leave of absence. Any approved leave of absence applies to both
degree programs.
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.

*Effective 11/17/2010. Consult online version of Graduate Policies for the most current information:
graduate.asu.edu/academic_policies.html
Academic Catalog Archive 2011-2012 117

4. The six year maximum time limit for completing degree requirements and graduation apply to each
concurrent degree individually.
Concurrent enrollment in a doctoral program and master’s degree program may not have common hours.
Doctoral programs and master’s degrees in the same major may not be concurrently pursued.

Concurrent Doctoral Degrees
A student may pursue concurrent doctoral degrees with prior written approval from the head of the academic
unit for each degree program and the Graduate College. 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 petition for a leave of absence. Any approved leave of absence applies to both
degree programs.
2. The 30 hours allowed from a previously awarded master’s degree may only be applied to one of the
doctoral programs and graduate credit transferred from another institution may be applied toward
only one degree program.
3. 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 five 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.

Bachelor’s/Master’s Degree (4+1)
Some academic units offer high‐achieving students an opportunity to pursue a Bachelor’s/Master’s degree
program (commonly referred to as 4+1). The 4+1 programs must be formally approved and are available only to
ASU students.
Students admitted to 4+1 degree programs may take ASU graduate‐level courses as an undergraduate student
that are shared with both the bachelor’s degree and the master’s degree enabling them to obtain both degrees
within five years; provided the approved program allows for the sharing of credit hours. Students do not
graduate with both degrees during the same semester of enrollment; upon completion of the bachelor’s degree
students are enrolled as graduate students for completion of the master’s degree. Students should contact their
academic unit for specific information.
Students may not share any credit hours taken as an undergraduate student unless they have been formally
admitted to an approved 4+1 degree 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 Graduate College Dean who reviews and appoints the Committee. Graduate
supervisory committees must consist of a minimum of three individuals, including the chair or co‐chairs.
Faculty Emeriti who meet Graduate College 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
Graduate College Dean 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 Graduate College, may serve as members
of thesis and dissertation committees. All such requests must be submitted to the Graduate College Dean 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
http://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
containing any data collection from animal research require that applications be submitted to ASU Office of
Research Integrity and Assurance for approval at http://researchintegrity.asu.edu/animals/IACUC+Overview.
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 with the Graduate College 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 Graduate College 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. 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 Ph.D.
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 College format
review. The Graduate College Dean 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
Page: 24
*Effective 11/17/2010. Consult online version of Graduate Policies for the most current information:
graduate.asu.edu/academic_policies.html
Academic Catalog Archive 2011-2012 120

date and location have been identified, students submit the appropriate schedule a defense form, and a draft
copy of the thesis/dissertation via email to gradformat@asu.edu. The defense will be published on the Graduate
College 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 College’s Formatting Tool uses the Format Manual formatting 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 Graduate College 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; they may also go to the ASU Bookstore, or any third party
bindery to obtain bound copies of their document if desired.

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 College degree requirements prior
to the conferral of their degree.
The graduation deadlines and procedures are set by the Graduate College and are available online at
http://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 academic decisions regarding their graduate programs. Before initiating an appeal, the graduate student
must fully utilize all other appeal and review processes available in the student’s program, academic unit, or
college/school. The student should also discuss the situation with the Graduate College dean’s office to explore
resolution of the matter at the unit or college level before filing an appeal.
The GCAB reviews written appeals of graduate students concerning:
Ç Retention in graduate programs (with the limitations described below).

Page: 25
*Effective 11/17/2010. Consult online version of Graduate Policies for the most current information:
graduate.asu.edu/academic_policies.html
Academic Catalog Archive 2011-2012 121

Ç Procedural matters in graduate student programs (e.g., procedures related to Plans of Study, theses,
dissertations, and preliminary, qualifying or comprehensive exams).
Ç Other academic issues that are not covered by other university policies or processes.
The GCAB will not entertain any appeals until the graduate student has fully utilized all other appropriate appeal
procedures through their academic unit and college.
The GCAB does not review appeals pertaining to the following areas because these appeals are heard by other
university bodies (see parenthesis below):
Ç Course grades (subject to review by the academic unit and college/school).
Ç Results of capstone experiences, comprehensive and qualifying examinations and defenses
(subject to review by the academic unit and college/school).
Ç Allegations of academic dishonesty (subject to review under the ASU Student Academic Integrity
Policy).
Ç 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).
Ç Allegations of discrimination (subject to review by the ASU Office of Diversity).
The Guidelines for Graduate Appeals describing further the GCAB appeal procedures, process, and jurisdiction
are available from the Graduate College and on the website at:
http://graduate.asu.edu/faculty_staff/policies/graduate_student_appeals.

Arizona State University does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender
identity, disability, religion, age or veteran status in the University’s services, educational programs, and activities,
including, but not limited to, admission to and employment by the University. The Office of Diversity has been designated
to handle inquiries regarding the University’s non‐discrimination policies: Director, Office of Diversity, University Services
Building, 1551 S. Rural Rd., Tempe, Arizona 85287, Intercampus Mail Code 5612. Phone: (480) 965‐5057; TTY (480) 965‐
0471. For information generally about ASU’s non‐discrimination policies and procedures for filing complaints, please see
http://cfo.asu.edu/hr‐diversity. Some deadlines for filing complaints are as short as thirty days.

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 in the undergraduate programs office, BA 109.
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. Students on probation must obtain a semester GPA of 2.50 with no grade lower than a "C". If a student on probation
meets this requirement, but the cumulative GPA remains below 2.00, the student is given 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 an
academic advisor. These students may attend ASU during summer session.
Advising
W. P. Carey Undergraduate Programs offers academic advising at the Polytechnic (PRLTA 330), Tempe (BA 109), and West (FAB
N101) campuses. Students may find personalized advising information and schedule appointments, in advance,
at http://wpcarey.asu.edu/sos/ [2]. Students admitted to the W. P. Carey Academy or Business Honors program may schedule
appointments by visiting BA 111 or calling 480-965-8710.
To ensure that students are making progress toward their degree, we encourage students to schedule appointments each semester.
We require advising for:
Newly admitted students prior to enrollment for the first term (at orientation).
Freshman students each semester in the first year.
Transfer students prior to their intial enrollment.
Seniors, upon completion of 87 or more credit hours.
Any student who is on academic probation.
Any student who is off track in regards to Sun Devil Tracking requirements.
For additional information regarding academic advising, visit http://wpcarey.asu.edu/advising [3] or contact the W. 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

Academic Catalog Archive 2011-2012 124

numbered 100 through 299. A maximum of 30 hours of business and economics courses from community colleges are accepted
toward a bachelor's degree in business.
Students may transfer a maximum of nine credit hours of approved upper-division business course work required for the business
degree to ASU. Professional 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 30-hour 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 degree. Courses taught in the upperdivision 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 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 intended majors. Students who do not comply with the critical
requirements are offtrack and have holds placed on their records. These students must meet with an advisor to have this hold
removed. For more information, access the Web site at http://wpcarey.asu.edu/undergraduate/currentstudents/advising/tracking.cfm [4].
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
Student Appeal Procedure on Grades
The faculty of the W. P. Carey School of Business have adopted a policy on the student appeal procedure on grades. A copy of the
policy may be obtained in the undergraduate programs office, BA 109.
SAT/ACT Test Scores
See SAT/ACT test score requirements at http://students.asu.edu/admission/competencies [5].
Admissions
Because of the additional requirements for the Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree, students who do not meet minimum admission
standards will automatically be considered for the Bachelors of Arts (B.A.) in the W.P. Carey School of Business. Freshman admission
requirements for the B.A. program are the same as the university's freshman admission requirements. Transfer students must have
a 3.00 GPA for all transfer work and meet university transfer admission requirements to be placed into the B.A. program.
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, a student can request a temporary
faculty advisor in a potential area of concentration in order to prepare a program of study. Students are encouraged to begin
discussions with faculty members early in their studies so that course work can be geared toward supporting their academic
progress. All students, whether in a thesis or nonthesis option, must file a program of study.

Academic Integrity

Academic Catalog Archive 2011-2012 125

The faculty of the Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts follow ASU’s Academic Integrity Policy on academic dishonesty.
Information on ASU’s Academic Integrity Policy and ways to complete your work with integrity can be found
here:http://provost.asu.edu/academicintegrity/students [1].
Academic Standing
Probation
A student in any of the institute's 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.
Students are encouraged to seek advising from their major academic advisor, in an effort to improve academic standing. All
Herberger Institute students who are placed on academic probation and continuing probation are required to attend mandatory
advising appointments. Students will also be required to complete an academic success contract with their advisor to discuss
campus academic resources, plan out semester goals and discuss strategies to attain academic success. These meetings will continue
until the student earns a cumulative GPA of 2.00 or higher.
Disqualification
If, after one semester on probation, the overall GPA is not at the required level and the conditions of probation have not been met,
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. Students whose cumulative GPA is below 2.00, but are still in academic good standing according to
university standards, are ineligible to major in the School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture (SALA), but may be eligible for
majors in other colleges at ASU.
Reinstatement
Students seeking reinstatement after disqualification should contact the Herberger Institute Office of Student Success regarding
procedures and guidance for returning to good standing. A disqualified student 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. Appeals may be made to the Herberger Institute Curriculum Committee; see an academic
advisor for the necessary appeal forms. There are also other options available for immediate reinstatement for qualified students;
see an academic advisor to discuss these options. For more information, see Retention and Academic Standards. When
reinstatement includes readmission, application must be made to the Recording and Readmissions section of the University
Registrar’s Office. All academic disciplinary action is a function of the Herberger Institute Office of Student Success, CDS 101, under
the direction of the assistant dean for student success for the institute. Students having academic problems should call this office for
advising at 480-965-4495.
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, call 480-965-4495 or visit our office
in Design South (CDS), room 101. 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.

While the university accepts credits transferred from other accredited institutions, transfer course work must be equivalent in both
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. 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. Students 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 SALA requires a review of samples of work (portfolio format) from
previous studio classes to evaluate transfer studio credits.
Incompletes
Students are responsible for contacting the instructor regarding the process of requesting and fulfilling 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
official "Request for Grade of Incomplete" form at http://students.asu.edu/forms/incomplete-grade-request [2]. The completed
form must include a justification, a listing of requirements that have not been fulfilled and a proposed schedule of completion. The
instructor reviews the request and determines whether to accept or deny the request. If accepted, the instructor may propose
modifications, if necessary, and submits a copy of the request to the appropriate office. An incomplete in any course that is a

Academic Catalog Archive 2011-2012 126

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.
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.
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.
Degree Requirements
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, including the milestone,
see herbergerinstitute.asu.edu/degrees/milestone.php [3].
SALA Critical Requirements
A new or transfer student who has been admitted to the university and has selected a major in the School of Architecture +
Landscape Architecture is admitted to the major of his or her choice. Each student must meet all critical requirements including the
milestone at the end of the second semester. Students who do not meet all critical requirements, including the milestone, will work
with an advisor to explore alternate degree options. For international students whose native language is not English, TOEFL scores
are required.
SALA Milestone
Passing the SALA milestone at the end of the second semester is competitive. Consult the requirements of each major for details:
herbergerinstitute.asu.edu/degrees/milestone.php. Students who are interested in more than one program must meet the
milestone requirements for both and must submit separate applications and portfolios, as required by the program. Transfers
requested past the second semester are considered only if vacancies occur, and such transfers are limited to students with
equivalent course work who are competitive with continuing students. Students who do not meet the critical requirements but pass
the milestone are not dismissed from the university and may transfer to other programs.
SALA Academic Standards for students who have passed the milestone
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.
An incomplete, failure or withdrawal from any required course.
A semester GPA below 3.00.
A grade of “D” (1.00) or “E” (0.00) in a design studio, a design laboratory or a design lecture.
Violation of 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 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, see Retention and Academic Standards.
SALA Studio Requirements
Students must earn a grade of “C” (2.00) or higher in SALA studio courses in order to progress to the next studio in sequence. If a
student is already registered for the next studio and has earned a grade of “D” or “E” in the prerequisite studio, the student will be
administratively dropped from the subsequent studio.
Reinstatement/Readmission
Appeals Procedures
Academic appeals and requests for variances are typically made to the student's instructor and then, if necessary, to the head of the
appropriate academic unit, the assistant dean for student success, the Herberger Institute Curriculum Committee, and finally, the
dean. A student who feels unjustly treated in academic or other matters relating to his or her career as a student should follow the
grievance procedure outlined on the institute Web site.

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 Academic Integrity Policy is strictly enforced and followed. Students with an alleged violation are
required to discuss the violation with the professor. Students charged with a violation of the Academic Integrity Policy have the
opportunity to appeal the charge and be heard by the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering Standards Hearing Board, who 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. See the following website
for policy information 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 in making the decisions, 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 degree. Students are
said to be making satisfactory progress if they fulfill all of the following:
Maintain an acceptable GPA.
Enroll and complete critical tracking requirements.
Complete courses each semester that are applicable to their degree.
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 that 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 load (13 credit hours maximum), retake courses or even take
courses outside of the program, if these measures will help bring the student 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
standing.
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:
A semester or summer session with a GPA less than or equal to 1.50.
Two successive semesters with GPAs less than 2.00.
An ASU cumulative GPA less than 2.00 (for more than 55 credit hours).
Automatic review is triggered by any one of the following:
An ASU cumulative GPA less than 2.00 (0 to 55 credit hours).
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.
Has a cumulative GPA below 2.00 at the end of the probationary semester.

Academic Catalog Archive 2011-2012 129

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 major.
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 major to another college if they have an acceptable cumulative GPA. The acceptable GPA
level depends on the number of hours of completed course work. Students should contact an advisor in the office of Academic and
Student Affairs to determine if they are eligible.
Students may take nonengineering courses during summer and winter 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 the student, each program employs professional
academic advisors who work with students in setting academic and career goals, understanding school and university 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 a faculty advisor familiar with the chosen field of specialization. Students should consult with an
advisor prior to registering each semester. A list of program advisors can be viewed at http://engineering.asu.edu/advising [3].
Students are encouraged to utilize the eAdvisor (http://eadvisor.asu.edu/ [4]) tool for academic planning. eAdvisor provides critical
requirements and major maps, which are individualized student reports that lay out a specific, clear and accurate path to timely
completion of the intended degree.
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. Some programs relax the advising requirement after the first year,
so students should consult their academic advisor or reivew their "to do" list in MyASU 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 an undergraduate degree program 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 advisor and complete the Probation Success
Plan. 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 the student’s consent at any time before the final examination. Such

Academic Catalog Archive 2011-2012 130

withdrawal may be initiated by the 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.
Pass/Fail Grades
Students enrolled in the schools do not receive degree credit for pass/fail courses taken at this institution. In addition, no courses in
the schools are offered for pass/fail credit. 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 course(s) are required in their degree program and the
students have the proper course prerequisites.
First-year Composition Requirement
Completion of the first-year composition requirement [6] 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.
Change of Major
Students interested in changing their major 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].
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 another
institution, whether a community college or four-year institution, to carefully study the catalog material pertaining to the particular
program 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 school. 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://articulation.asu.edu/ [8].
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 school. 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
Students admitted to the university after successful completion of the General Education Development (GED) examination are
directly admitted to the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering (B.S.E. or B.S.) program within their major, 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 their major field.
University Graduation Requirements
In addition to program and schools' requirements, students must meet all university graduation requirements [6]. A well-planned
program of study enables students to meet all requirements in a timely fashion. Students are encouraged to consult with an
academic advisor in planning a program to ensure that they comply with all necessary requirements.
Reinstatement/Readmission
Readmission
Undergraduate degree seeking students who previously attended ASU in the Ira Fulton Schools of Engineering 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 an Ira A. Fulton
Schools of Engineering program, are required to apply for readmission through the university registrar's office. Readmission requests
are processed as follows:
Academic Catalog Archive 2011-2012 131

School of engineering students seeking readmission to the same program they left, and who left ASU with either academic good
standing or probation status, are readmitted to the degree program they left with the same academic standing (i.e., good academic
standing or probation) they had when they left ASU.
Students seeking readmission to an Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering program other than the program they left, and who have an
ASU GPA of 3.00 or higher, are readmitted to the degree program with the same academic standing (i.e., good academic standing or
probation) they had when they left ASU.
Students seeking readmission to an Ira A. Fulton School of Engineering program other than the program they were in when they left,
and who left ASU with either academic good standing or probation status, and who have an ASU GPA less than 3.00 are subject to
the admission by change of major process. These requests for readmission are reviewed on an individual basis. If the request for
readmission is approved, the student is readmitted to the new degree program with the same academic standing (i.e., good
academic standing or on probation) they had when they left ASU.
Students seeking readmission to an Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering program, and who left ASU with either ineligible or
disqualified status, are subject to review by the office of Academic and Student Affairs and the program.
Readmission is only considered after a student has remained out of the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering for a minimum of 12
months.
Students are required to supply proof that they are now capable of successfully completing courses in the discipline by the
completion of at least 15 hours of appropriate course work with a GPA of 3.00 or higher and a cumulative (ASU + transfer) GPA of at
least 2.50.
If the readmission request requires a change of major, then the admission by change of major review must be completed.
If readmission is approved, students will return with continued probation status in the appropriate degree program.
Once readmitted, returning students are required to meet with a program advisor before enrolling in courses at ASU.
Other Special Requirements
Advancing to Upper-division Courses
The faculty in the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering have identified a set of critical requirements in the first four semesters of each
program whereby performance in these critical requirements is a key component in progressing in the chosen major. These critical
requirements include a set of courses and performance levels required in those courses and are outlined on the major maps.
Graduate Policies

All candidates for admission must file an application to the college separate from their ASU application.
Applicants are evaluated on the basis of their high school GPA (Arizona Board of Regents GPA based on 16 competency courses),
high school class rank and performance on the SAT or ACT; as well as talents that contribute to leadership and community service.
Continuing ASU or transfer students are evaluated on their college GPA.
Application forms and additional information about the college and its activities are available by calling 480-965-2359 or by
accessing the website at http://barretthonors.asu.edu [1].
Undergraduate Policies
Advising
Barrett students have advisors in their major, an assigned Barrett honors advisor, and Faculty Honors Advisors in departments
throughout the university. Students are encouraged to stay in regular contact with all of these resources and are required to
complete mandatory advising sessions with their Barrett honors advisor during semesters 1, 3, and 6. To schedule an appointment
with a Barrett honors advisor, call 480-965-9155. Office hours are Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. in Sage North 110.
Students can review honors opportunities in majors at http://barretthonors.asu.edu [1]. There are also special pre-law and prehealth advising opportunities for Barrett students. Contact the Barrett advising office for more information.
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 a total of 36 credit hours of honors course work):
HON 171 and HON 272/273/274 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 (inperson sections), CHM 117, CHM 118, PHY 333, or any graduate-level course.
Included in the 36 credit hours of honors course work are 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.
Students admitted as upper division transfer students (defined as 48 post-high school university credits completed by the time of
planned enrollment in Barrett) must complete a three credit 300-level upper-division 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 transfers because transfers do not have time to complete all 36
honors hours.
Students are required to complete an honors thesis/creative project for at least three credit hours, though students are encouraged
to complete six thesis credit hours. The thesis credit hours may be included in the 18 required hours of upper-division honors course
work. The honors thesis is launched with a prospectus form due one academic year before the defense. The final honors thesis copy
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 must take 18 lower-division honors credits, which include HON 171 and
272/273/274 The Human Event. This cross-disciplinary seminar acquaints students with ideas that form the foundation of a
university education and emphasizes critical thinking, discussion and writing.

Academic Catalog Archive 2011-2012 133

Those who enter as upper-division students must take 21 upper division honors credits, including a required three-credit, 300-level
HON honors course. Junior-level seminar courses introduce students to critical thinking, discussion and writing in a topical area
chosen by the instructor. It is expected that all students complete this course no later than the second semester after 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 nonhonors equivalents, these courses are designed to offer a richer,
more complex intellectual experience 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 nonhonors courses to earn honors credit by pursuing enrichment activities, which may 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 which the course is offered. Each contract form offers guidelines to aid students and faculty in developing appropriate
contracts.
Course numbers listed in the online ASU schedule of classes as 298/492 Honors Directed Study, 493 Honors Thesis, 497 Honors
Colloquium and all classes with the HON prefix 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.
Departmental courses with the number 493 are reserved for honors students completing their honors theses and creative projects.
A student may enroll for these courses only with the approval of the sponsoring academic department and of the faculty member
who serves as the student’s thesis director. Course numbers listed in the online 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), CHM 117, CHM 118,
and PHY 333. Graduate level courses automatically earn honors credit.

Journalism and Mass Communication, Walter Cronkite School of
The Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication recommends that students contact our Student Support Center
at 602-496-5055 to obtain the most current information on college policies. The Cronkite school advising staff are available to assist
with any questions regarding the school's policies.
Undergraduate Policies
Academic Integrity
Academic dishonesty in any form will not be tolerated in the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication.
The crux of our democracy is the ability of citizens to obtain honest, truthful and balanced information, and the credibility and
integrity of the individual journalist and communications professional are crucial in that effort.
As the mission of the Cronkite school is to prepare students to become journalists and communication professionals, that credibility
and integrity will be fostered within the educational environment of the school. To that end, a zero tolerance policy toward
academic dishonesty will be enforced within every course and educational activity offered or sanctioned by the school.
Any allegations of academic dishonesty will automatically be referred to the Standards Committee of the school for review and
recommendation to the dean of the school. If any student is found by the committee to have engaged in academic dishonesty in any
form, including, but not limited to, cheating, plagiarizing and fabricating, that student shall receive a grade of XE for the class and will
be dismissed from the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication. Reinstatement will not be considered. There
will be no exceptions.
Advising
Students should follow the sequence of courses outlined on major maps, their online degree audits, and the advice of the school’s
academic advisors. Conscientious, careful planning and early advising are crucial to students who desire to progress through the
program in a timely fashion. The critical requirements for freshmen in the school are available at http://cronkite.asu.edu [1].
Graduate Policies

Law, Sandra Day O’Connor College of
Graduate Policies
Academic Integrity
Honor Code
The legal profession, a self-regulating association, depends on the integrity, honor and personal morality of each member. Similarly,
the integrity and value of a Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law degree depends on a reputation for fair competition. The college’s
honor code is intended as a measure to preserve the integrity of the school’s diploma and to create an arena in which students can
compete fairly and confidently. Copies of the honor code are available from the college’s Student Services Office.
Academic Standing
Retention Standards
The College of Law requires a minimum grade point average of 73.00 or 2.00 to continue enrollment. If the grade point average falls
below this number students may be disqualified following College of Law policies.
The College of Law Statement of Student Policies contains additional retention and academic policies. The Statement of Student
Policies can be found at http://law.asu.edu [1].
Advising
Academic assistance for currently enrolled law students is available through the office of the assistant dean for academic affairs.
Admissions Process
The Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law enrolls only one first-year, JD class per year, and it enters in the fall semester. The program
is a three-year program, and almost all students study on a full-time basis. The College does offer a flexible scheduling option for
students with circumstances that make full-time enrollment impossible. To be considered for admission to the JD program, an
applicant must:
Demonstrate that he or she will have earned an undergraduate degree from an accredited four-year college or university by the
time of enrollment in the JD program.
Take the LSAT and provide a reportable score from that test.
Submit a completed application with application fee.
Submit transcripts and letters of recommendation through the Law School Admissions Council's Credential Assembly Service (CAS),
which will be provided to the College of Law by LSAC with the applicant's LSAT record. Applicants are encouraged to apply
electronically through www.lsac.org [2].
The undergraduate record and LSAT score are only two of many factors considered for admission.
More details about the application process can be found at http://www.law.asu.edu/admissions [3]. For an application to be
considered timely, it must be postmarked or electronically submitted by Feb. 1. For earlier consideration, the early decision deadline
is Nov. 1.

Liberal Arts and Sciences, College of
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
Any student enrolling in courses offered by the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences is 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 students are placed on probation, one of three
things can happen:

Academic Catalog Archive 2011-2012 137

The student may raise his or her cumulative GPA to academic good standing by repeating eligible classes or taking new classes and
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. 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/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 their major map for the major degree requirements.
Regular Advising
All students are strongly urged to seek advising in the appropriate college unit before registration.
eAdvisor
In fall 2007, ASU introduced eAdvisor, which gives students the tools to successfully follow their major map to graduation. eAdvisor
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.
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 be cleared before their classes are
scheduled:
Students in their first semester at ASU.
Students on academic probation.
Students with a cumulative GPA of less than 2.00.
Students in their first three 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.
Students in the above categories should consult an advisor in the department or school of their major (with the exception of
disqualified students, who may only receive advising in the Office of Student and Academic Programs, FULTN 110). Students are
encouraged to see if they have an advising hold each semester before attempting registration transactions.
Internships

Academic Catalog Archive 2011-2012 138

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.

Health Professions
Students pursuing admission to professional schools 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 PreProfessional Advising Office (PPAO) 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 Pre-Professional Advising Office, located in FULTN 135, call 480-965-2365.
Pre-law
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 a major that interests 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 the student approaches the second semester of his or her junior year, the student should
schedule a meeting with the prelaw advisor located in FULTN 135, by calling 480-965-2365.
Credit/Registration
Credit Requirement
All candidates for graduation in the Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science or Bachelor of Science 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.

Academic Catalog Archive 2011-2012 139

Concurrent Degrees
Students who wish to obtain concurrent degrees must realize that 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.
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. Students should work with the advisor in the department of the
minor to make certain they are making the most effective choices to complete their minors. Students may not use courses in their
minors toward the major and, similarly, students may not use courses in the major to fill the requirements of the minor.
Additionally, there may be some disciplines that are too close in content for a student to choose a particular minor and major.
Course Load
The normal course load is 15 or 16 credit hours. First-semester freshmen and entering transfer students are not permitted to
register for more than 18 credit hours in the initial semester. 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 the student has completed 17 to 18 hours
per semester. If a student meets these requirements, he or she make seek an overload for 19 to 21 hours from the advising office in
the department of the major. Any petition for an overload in excess of 21 hours 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 5-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 specialization. A grade of “P” (pass) contributes to the 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 the approval of 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
A student may choose to audit a course in which he or she attends regularly scheduled class sessions but earns no credit. The
student should obtain the instructor's approval before registering for the course.
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 the major. In addition, the college has established requirements that are specific to the Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of
Science and Bachelor of Science in Planning degrees.
A. Bachelor of Arts Degrees. Students pursuing Bachelor of Arts degrees 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 both 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.
Academic Catalog Archive 2011-2012 140

Completion of SHS 202 American Sign Language IV or its equivalent.
B. Bachelor of Science degrees. Students pursuing Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Science in Planning degrees in the college
must complete six credit hours (two courses) of “Science and Society” courses. Students should consult with 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 http://clas.asu.edu/scienceandsociety [3].
C. All students are required to take a minimum of MAT 119 or higher. A grade of “C” (2.00) or higher must be earned in the chosen
mathematics course.
D. All students admitted as first-time freshmen are 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 an understanding of what they will need to be a
successful student 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.
A. The major department 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.
B. 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.
C. Major fields of study are classified into the following three areas:
Humanities
Asia Studies.
Asian Languages (Chinese/Japanese).

General Electives
Most Liberal Arts and Sciences majors can meet all of 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 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 pre-approved by 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 pre-approved by the Office of Student and Academic Programs may result in a denial of readmission to the
college, no matter how well the student has performed.
Students who were additionally off track for two semesters and who were disqualified from the university or who left on
probation, will not be able to be readmitted to their former majors, but must choose another major for which to attempt to earn
reinstatement. 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 the student to complete a portfolio
process before being admitted to take upper division classes in the major. Students should check with the department or school of
their major to see if there are any such policies that apply to them.

Academic Standing
University standards for academic good standing and Sun Devil Tracking 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 registration 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 some majors in this College. Disqualified
students are not permitted to enroll for the fall or spring semesters.

Academic Catalog Archive 2011-2012 143

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 that 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 R.N. – B.S.N. program or the Bachelor of Applied Science degrees are not critically tracked. See major maps
for all college majors at (https://webapp4.asu.edu/programs/t5/programs/College/CNU/undergrad/false [3].
Advising
Academic advising is provided by the College of Nursing and Health Innovation through the Undergraduate Student Academic
Services Office (USASO) and the graduate programs offices and it is an essential aspect of the educational experience. 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 (USASO) is committed to ensuring that students reach their academic goals
and graduate in four years by monitoring student progress [4], providing academic resources [5], and using personalized tools [6] to
advise students and help ensure they get off to a good start and stay on track towards graduation.
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 pre-licensure nursing program
must attend a BSN Information Session before a one-on-one academic advising appointment will be scheduled
(https://nursingandhealth.asu.edu/students/info-bsn.htm [7]).
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 (https://nursingandhealth.asu.edu/node/775 [8]). All
prerequisite courses for the pre-licensure nursing major major 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).
Degree Requirements
Students wishing to pursue concurrent degrees must petition the College of Nursing and Health Innovation and the college of the
other major they wish to pursue.
Admission standards for Exercise and Wellness, Health Sciences, Medical Lab Sciences, Nutrition and the online R.N. to B.S.N.
program are the same as university admission requirements (http://students.asu.edu/admission [9]). Admission requirements to
kinesiology and the traditional pre-licensure clinical nursing program are more rigorous.
Admission to nursing: Applicants who have an associate’s degree in nursing, or a nursing diploma, and have or will soon have their
R.N. license apply to the online R.N. to B.S.N. program. Applicants who do not have an associate’s degree in nursing or a nursing
diploma and do not have their R.N. license will apply to the traditional pre-licensure clinical nursing program and must meet more
rigorous admission criteria. While not required for admission, at least one year of high school chemistry and one year of high school
biology are recommended. Choosing a second choice major is optional but recommended. Applications will be evaluated based on
the requirements for the majors chosen in order of preference. The priority deadline for consideration for the traditional prelicensure clinical nursing program is Feb. 15.
Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL): The TOEFL requirements for the traditional pre-licensure clinical nursing program are
more stringent than the requirements for admission to ASU. Applicants whose native language is not English (identified by the U.S.
Department of State Bureau of Public Affairs) must provide evidence of English language proficiency. The English proficiency
requirement may be fulfilled by meeting one of the following: minimum score of 550 (paper-based), 213 (computer-based), or 79
(internet-based) on the TOEFL.
When ready to begin the upper-division, traditional pre-licensure clinical nursing course work, students will be asked to state their
preferred semester start date and campus location—downtown Phoenix or Mayo Clinic Hospital. Semester start date may not be the
first semester the student is eligible and campus assignment is made by the college. Students must complete the program on the
campus assigned.
If there are available seats in the traditional pre-licensure clinical nursing program after placing admitted nursing students, a
Competitive Application Process (CAP) process will be used to fill those spaces. Spaces will be given to those students with the
highest advancement score.

Academic Catalog Archive 2011-2012 144

Competitive Application Process (CAP)
Choose a major in the College (Exercise and Wellness, Health Sciences, Kinesiology, Nutrition).
Take nursing prerequisites as well as courses toward the other major chosen
Achieve a minimum of 3.25 Prerequisite/Critical Course GPA.
Achieve a minimum of 3.25 Select GPA (13 of 17 courses including first-year composition and three sciences from BIO 201, BIO 202,
CHM 101, MIC 205/206).
TEAS score of 58.7 percent or higher.
Submit application and supporting documents (Valid, Unrestricted Fingerprint Clearance Card; CPR/BLS card, immunizations, etc.).
Priority may be given to students who complete a majority of the prerequisite courses at ASU. A Select GPA will be calculated based
on the prerequisite courses. Students in the upper-division clinical nursing courses 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.
The four-term, upper-division clinical nursing program is available in two delivery options, 1) the 24-month option with classes
scheduled during the fall and spring semesters on the Downtown Phoenix campus, and no summer enrollment is required, or 2) the
16-month year-round option with classes scheduled during fall, spring and summer sessions on the Downtown Phoenix campus and
the Mayo Clinic Hospital campus, summer tuition rates apply.
Students will be asked to state their preferred campus location, if more than one site is available, but campus assignment is made by
the college. Students must complete the program on the campus assigned.
Essential Functions: Students in the traditional pre-licensure clinical nursing courses are expected to meet the essential functional
abilities of the undergraduate nursing student. Essential functions for this program include gathering data through the senses
(hearing, seeing, etc.), synthesizing information from a variety of sources, making decisions regarding patient care and performing
necessary physical and mental activities to ensure safe care. If a student needs more information about how the Americans with
Disabilities Act applies to the essential function requirements, contact the Disability Resource Center
(http://www.asu.edu/studentaffairs/ed/drc/ [10]). Some clinical experiences may require students to purchase their own protective
devices. For complete details, call the Baccalaureate Programs Office
(https://nursingandhealth.asu.edu/programs/nursing/undergraduate/bsn/contact.htm [11]).
Arizona State Board of Nursing Requirement: Once students have earned the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (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.
Transferring into the Traditional Pre-Licensure Clinical Nursing Program with Advanced Standing: Because of the preference given to
students taking prerequisite courses at ASU, it is highly unlikely that students who have completed one or more semesters in an
upper-division, accredited, baccalaureate school of nursing will be able to secure a space in the traditional pre-licensure clinical
nursing program in the college.
Reinstatement/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 http://students.asu.edu/readmission [12].
Applications for reinstatement/readmission to nursing or to kinesiology are subject to rigorous requirements that reflect admission
and progression standards. This might include summer or winter course work at ASU to bring the cumulative ASU GPA to a 3.50 or
higher or taking specified courses at another institution and earning a 3.50 or higher.
Applications for reinstatement/readmission to the other majors in the college will normally require summer or winter enrollment to
bring the ASU cumulative GPA to a 2.0 or higher or taking specified course work at another institution and earning a 2.50 or higher.
Other Special Requirements
Students in some programs, including but not limited to the traditional pre-licensure clinical nursing program and Medical Lab
Sciences, that require working in hospitals or with vulnerable populations, must meet additional requirements as follows.
Immunizations
Tetanus/Diphtheria (Td, Tdap, or DT): Proof of an immunization for tetanus/diphtheria within the last 10 years.
Negative TB Skin Test: Proof of a negative TB skin test that will be current at the beginning of the first semester of clinical courses. If
skin test is positive, provision of a chest x-ray or of follow-up treatment. Negative TB skin test or evidence of follow-up treatment is
required throughout the enrollment in clinical course work.
Measles (Rubeola), Mumps and Rubella (MMR): Students must provide proof of immunity through either: two MMR Immunizations
with the second given after 12/31/79; one MMR Immunization and two positive titers for Rubella and Rubeola; three positive titers
for Rubeola, Mumps, and Rubella. Note: ASU requires proof of MMR immunization for admissions purposes.

Academic Catalog Archive 2011-2012 145

Varicella (Chicken Pox): Two vaccinations are required for Varicella. Students may fulfill the requirement by providing proof of
completion of the Varicella vaccines, or a Varicella titer with positive results.
Hepatitis B: Students must provide proof of immunity through documentation of 3 doses of Hepatitis B or positive titer results.
Students may not participate in any clinical experience without meeting these requirements. An annual flu vaccine is also
recommended; other health information may be required.
Professional Liability Insurance: It is highly recommended that students carry their own professional liability insurance when
enrolled in clinical nursing courses.
Health and Accident Insurance: It is strongly recommended that all students carry their own health and accident insurance. Some
clinical agencies require students to have current health insurance. See the baccalaureate programs student handbook. Each student
is personally responsible for costs related to any accident or illness during or outside of school activities.
Automobile Insurance: Extensive travel may be required for selected clinical experiences. Students are responsible for
transportation to and from clinical sites. If driving their own vehicles, students are required by state law to carry automobile
insurance.
The College of Nursing and Health Innovation Standards committee is currently revising clinical standards related to background
clearance and the requirement for titers to demonstrate immunity to particular diseases. Current and incoming students will be
notified of the new requirements once they are approved.
Graduate Policies
Academic Advising: Graduate students are advised by the Graduate Programs Office of the college. Upon admission, each student is
assigned a faculty advisor within the area of concentration.

Academic Catalog Archive 2011-2012 146

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 that 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.
Advising
Academic advising is provided by the School of Nutrition and Health Promotion through the Undergraduate Academic Services Office
as an essential aspect of the educational experience. Advising for graduate students occurs within the student’s specific academic
program. Academic advisors assist undergraduate 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 School of Nutrition and Health Promotion determines if and how
the courses will be applied.
The Academic Services Office is committed to ensuring that students reach their academic goals and graduate in four years by
monitoring student progress, providing academic resources, and using personalized tools to advise students and help ensure they
get off to a good start and stay on track towards graduation.
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.
Course Load: Students wishing to register for more than the maximum allowable credits in a term must petition to do so through
their academic advisor and must obtain an approved overload before registration.
Degree Requirements
Students wishing to pursue concurrent degrees must petition the School of Nutrition and Health Promotion and the college of the
other major they wish to pursue.
Admission standards for Exercise and Wellness, Health Sciences, Medical Lab Sciences, and Nutrition programs are the same as
university admission requirements (http://students.asu.edu/admission). Admission requirements to kinesiology program are more
rigorous and be obtained from a Kinesiology academic advisor.
Reinstatement/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 http://students.asu.edu/readmission.
Applications for reinstatement/readmission to kinesiology are subject to rigorous requirements that reflect current admission and

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. Each major within the College of Public Programs requires a
progessively higher GPA than a 2.00 as a student advances towards 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

Academic Catalog Archive 2011-2012 147

A student who is on probation becomes disqualified if:
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.
Advising
The following categories of students are required to receive advising and to be cleared by a program advisor before they may
register for classes:
Students with admissions competency deficiencies.
All freshmen.
Transfer students in their first semester at ASU.
Readmitted students.
Students on probation.
Students who have been disqualified.
Students with special admissions 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/school standards committee and the
academic and student affairs committee of the college. 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.
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 to
the readmissions section of the University Registrar. 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.
Other Special 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 13 hours of
public programs course work. These 13 hours will consist of courses from other public programs degrees within the College of Public
Programs and ASU 101. 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 your major advisor. All 13 hours must be completed in
order for an undergraduate student to graduate from the College of Public Programs. Questions about this requirement should be
directed to your academic advisor for your major.
Graduate Policies
Advising

Academic Catalog Archive 2011-2012 148

Advising is usually handled by graduate faculty or a committee. Once admitted, students are typically assigned a temporary faculty
advisor in the potential areas of specialization who 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.

Sustainability, School of
Undergraduate Policies
Academic Standing
Student Responsibilities
Students need to make many decisions as they complete their degrees. 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 1) they maintain a cumulative
GPA of 2.00 or higher in all courses taken at ASU, and 2) 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 have holds placed on their records. These students have to meet with an advisor to have this
hold removed. If the student still has not met all critical requirements in the following semester, then further registration in the
intended major may not be permitted.
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 students on probation can register for classes in the next semester, they must receive
advising in their department.
Disqualification
Students who do not meet probation requirements are subject to disqualification. A disqualified student will not be able to register
for classes in the 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 through the school.
Advising
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, life-long learners. The School encourages continuing students to
meet with an advisor at least once each semester. New students will be required to meet with an advisor before being cleared to
register for classes. Office hours are Monday-Friday (excluding university holidays), 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Students should call in advance
(480-727-6963) to make an appointment so advisors can set aside the appropriate time to answer all their questions.
Degree Requirements
School Graduation Requirements
All students in the School of Sustainability must complete the university General Studies requirement as well as all requirements in
the major. In addition, the school has established requirements that are specific to the B.A. and B.S. degrees.
ASU 101 Requirement: ASU 101-SOS: The ASU Experience. (1)
Statistics Requirement: STP 226 Elements of Statistics, CS (3) or additional statistics course options as approved by the school.
Foreign Language Requirement.
Foreign Language Requirement
Bachelor of Arts: Students pursuing B.A. degrees in the School of Sustainability 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 by one of the following:
Completion of second language course work at the intermediate level (202 or equivalent; those students completing this
requirement in Ancient Greek must take both 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.

A foreign language course at the 200 level or higher taught in the foreign language and having 102 or its equivalent as a prerequisite.
Completion of secondary education at a school in which the language of instruction is not English.
The School of Sustainability also requires a cumulative 2.50 GPA in all major courses in order to graduate with a B.A. or B.S. in
sustainability.
Concurrent Degrees
Students who wish to obtain concurrent degrees must realize that 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 pursue both a
B.A. or B.S. in sustainability as well as a B.A. in business with a concentration in sustainability.
Reinstatement/Readmission
Students seeking reinstatement (after disqualification) or readmission (after absence from the university) should contact the School
of Sustainability office regarding procedures and guidance for returning to good standing. When reinstatement includes
readmission, application must be made to the readmission section of the Office of the Registrar.

Degree Requirements

Academic Catalog Archive 2011-2012 150

Students are limited to a maximum of 18 credit hours per term. Enrollment in additional credit hours requires approval from a
college academic advisor.
Audit: Teachers College students are permitted to audit any non-Professional Teacher Preparation Program (PTPP) course.
Additional university fees are assigned to the course when the audit option is chosen.
Course Prerequisites: Enrollment in upper-division PTPP course work requires approval from the Teachers College. Review current
course descriptions for course prerequisites.
Incomplete Grades: Incomplete grades will only be issued if a student is in good standing in the course and experiences an
extenuating occurance just prior to the end of the term. Non-PTPP courses must be completed one calendar year from the initial
grade assignment. Students enrolled in the PTPP must complete “I” grades before the next academic term.
Pass/Fail: Field experience and student teaching courses are evaluated on a pass/fail grading system. A “Y” grade is assigned to a
passed course and an “E” grade is assigned to a failed course. Only the “E” grade will be computed in the ASU cumulative GPA.
Transfer: Students may transfer a maximum of 64 credits from a two-year institution. There is no limit to the number of credits
transferred from a four-year institution. Students interested in substituting previous teacher preparation courses for current PTPP
ASU courses must submit a Petition for Adjustment of Requirements to the Office of Student Services at their chosen campus.
Transfer students who are interested in starting the PTPP must submit an online form, have a 2.50 cumulative GPA, completion of
60 credit hours and fulfill specific course requirements as outlined by each Education major. Students who complete the AAEE, TAG
and MAPP will meet the requirements for progression into the PTPP.
Withdrawal: Review the current university withdrawal procedures at http://students.asu.edu/withdrawal [3]
Students who begin at ASU as freshmen will follow a major map for their chosen program. The major map is an outline that students
follow each term for enrollment. Students who have attended only ASU are reviewed at the completion of each term to ensure that
they are on track for graduation. Transfer students must attend an advising session and will learn the degree requirements as well as
minimum eligibility requirements for progression into the PTPP. The goal of the PTPP is to produce teachers of the highest quality.
We are committed to providing support and resources for those students needing assistance for their academic or professional
growth.
As stated previously, students are evaluated throughout the PTPP in accordance with the Mary Lou Fulton Teachers
College Retention/Continuation Policy. Students in the program will be formally reviewed regarding their academic progress and
professional attributes in order to determine retention/continuation status. A student with a record that contains indicators of
professional or academic concerns will be placed on probation, suspension or permanently removed from the program. Students
enrolled in undergraduate education programs are expected to maintain academic standards. To be in good standing, students must
maintain an overall cumulative GPA of 2.50 or higher with at least a grade of “C” (2.00) in each undergraduate education course.
In addition to academic progress, students are evaluated regarding professional attributes in four areas:
Communication/knowledge level.
Interpersonal relations.
Professionalism.
Attitudes.
If there are concerns regarding a student’s professional attributes, the student will be placed on probation, suspended or
permanently removed from the program. Unless the student has been permanently removed from the program, they must
participate in the development of a professional improvement plan (PIP), which establishes the requirements for continuation in the
program. The PIP lists areas of concern and action steps necessary to improve the targeted behaviors. Students placed on a plan of
improvement, probation or suspension, for any reason, are subject to disqualification by the Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College at
the end of the following semester if the conditions imposed for reinstatement are not met. Students placed on a plan of
improvement, probation or suspension, for any reason, are reviewed at the end of the following semester. Students demonstrating
behaviors or characteristics that make it questionable whether they can succeed in the teaching profession may be disqualified or
prescribed specific conditions under which continued participation is permitted; that is, probation or suspension even if the student
meets minimum academic performance as measured by GPA. Students who wish to appeal decisions of the Mary Lou Fulton
Teachers College of the Student Issues Committee may do so in writing to the Associate Dean of Student Affairs and
Communications for Teachers College. Any exceptions to the retention and disqualification policies and procedures must be
approved by the Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College Student Issues Committee and the associate dean for the college. Refer to the

Intent to Progress: All students who started at ASU as first-time freshmen must submit an Intent to Progress form to the Office of
Student Services during term three before beginning the program in term five.
Graduate Policies
Academic Policies
The college offers Master of Education (M.Ed.), Master of Arts (M.A,) Doctor of Education (Ed.D.) and Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.)
programs as well as Graduate Certificates. Some programs also allow students to obtain state or professional certification.
Satisfactory Progress Policies
Polices regarding satisfactory progress align with the policies of the Graduate College and are provided to students at the time of
enrollment and are available on the College web site.
Graduation Requirement
Candidates for the graduate degrees must satisfactorily complete the particular culminating experience requirements of their
specific programs. Information is available for each program from the Office of Student Services or from faculty advisors.
Graduate Policies
General career advising in a program can be obtained by contacting the coordinator of the program in which a degree is offered.
After admission to a degree program, specific advice related to degree requirements and activities is provided by academic advisors
in the Office of Student Support. Call 602-543-3634 and ask for the academic advisor for a specific campus or program.
Master’s Programs
Policies specific to each master’s degree program are provided to students at the time of enrollment in the program.
Continuous Enrollment and Reentry for Master's Programs
Once admitted to a masters degree program, the student is expected to be enrolled continuously until all requirements for the
degree have been fulfilled. If a program of study must be interrupted for one semester, the student must apply to the Graduate
College for a leave of absence. However, this leave status cannot exceed one semester. A student on leave is not required to pay
fees, but is not permitted to place any demands on university faculty or use any university facilities. A student who interrupts a
program without obtaining an approved leave may be removed from their degree program by the Graduate College, under the
assumption that the student has decided to discontinue the program. A student removed by the Graduate College for this reason
may reapply for admission to the program; the application is considered along with all other new applications to the degree
program. An application for leave status, endorsed by the division director or designee, must be approved by the dean of the
Graduate College. This request must be filed and approved prior to the semester of anticipated absence.
Master's Lack of Satisfactory Progress Policy
Students in M.A. or M.Ed. programs may be placed on academic probation for reasons stated in the particular program policy or for
failure to maintain standards set by the Graduate College. Students in initial certification programs or others whose studies involve
work at school sites are expected to maintain professional conduct as explained in program Satisfactory Progress Policies. Failure to
meet these standards of professional conduct or violations of the student conduct code may result in academic probation, or, for
egregious violations, immediate recommendation to the Graduate College for withdrawal.
Doctoral Programs
In addition to the Graduate College policy and procedures that govern doctoral programs at ASU and which are provided elsewhere
in this catalog, the following provisions apply to all doctoral programs in the college. Additional information specific to a degree
program may be provided as well when students first register for the program.
Continuous Enrollment and Reentry for Doctoral Programs
Once admitted to a doctoral degree program, the doctoral student is expected to be enrolled continuously, excluding summer
sessions, until all requirements for the degree have been fulfilled. Continuous enrollment promotes steady progress toward the
completion of the degree and an ongoing relationship between the student and faculty offering the program. If additional credit is
not required toward the Ph.D. or Ed.D., the student may enroll for 695 or 795 Continuing Registration. Continuing registration does
not carry credit; no grade is given. If a program of study must be interrupted for one semester, the student must apply to the
Graduate College for a leave of absence (LoA). However, this leave status cannot exceed one semester. A student on leave is not
required to pay fees, but is not permitted to place any demands on university faculty or use any university facilities. A student who
interrupts a program without obtaining an approved LoA may be removed from their degree program by the Graduate College,
under the assumption that the student has decided to discontinue the program. A student removed by the Graduate College for this
reason may reapply for admission to the program; the application is considered along with all other new applications to the degree
program. An application for leave status, endorsed by the members of the student’s supervisory committee and the head of the
academic unit, must be approved by the dean of the Graduate College. This request must be filed and approved prior to the
semester of anticipated absence.
Ph.D. and Ed.D. Lack of Progress Policy
Students in Ph.D. and Ed.D. programs may be placed on academic probation for any of the following reasons:

Academic Catalog Archive 2011-2012 152

Failing to meet the scholarship requirements of the Graduate College, a GPA of 3.00 (on a 4.00 scale) or failure to meet the
scholarship requirements of the particular program.
Unsatisfactory progress as noted on annual review form by mentor or failure to meet for annual review.
Unsatisfactory progress due to conduct which violates the university student conduct code.
A student can be recommended to the Graduate College for dismissal from the doctoral program if:
The student fails to advance to candidacy within five years of the date of program admission.
The student fails to complete and successfully defend the dissertation within five years of advancing to candidacy.
The student is on probationary status for two consecutive semesters and is unable to get out of academic probation by meeting all
of the specified conditions for making satisfactory academic progress by the end of his/her second semester on academic probation.
Additional Requirements
Fingerprint Clearance Card: All students enrolling in programs leading to certification must participate in field experiences and
student or apprentice teaching. Students participating in field experience must have proof of a Fingerprint Clearance Card on file in
the Office of Professional Field Experience before field placement hours begin. Effective January 1, 2008, per Arizona State Statute
A.R.S. § 15-106, all teachers and persons who are required to be fingerprinted to work in the classroom are required to have an
Identity Verified Prints (IVP) fingerprint clearance card.

Minimum Cumulative GPA

24 or fewer

1.60

25–55

1.75

56 or more

2.00

Probation
A student who does not maintain academic good standing after each fall or spring semester is placed on academic probation. A
student placed on academic probation or continuing probation must meet with an academic advisor before registration for the
subsequent semester.
A student placed on academic probation has one semester to raise his or her cumulative or semester GPA to meet the academic
good standing criteria; otherwise, the student may be disqualified.
Disqualification
During a semester on academic probation, a student who fails to meet the retention standards is disqualified. A student who has
been disqualified is not permitted to enroll for the fall or spring semester. A student may request a review of their disqualification
status by contacting the director of advising and student services in the College of Technology and Innovation.
Advising

Academic Catalog Archive 2011-2012 153

New incoming and transfer students should seek advising from an academic advisor in advising and student services. The college
requires that students consult with an advisor before registering each semester. Advisors should be made aware of any employment
obligations or special circumstances that may affect a student’s ability to successfully handle a full course load. Students may
register for a maximum of 19 credit hours per semester. Any student wishing to take more than the maximum must petition the
college’s standards committee and have an approval on file before registering for a course overload.
Reinstatement/Readmission
The college does not accept an application for reinstatement until the disqualified student has remained out of the college for at
least one semester. Merely having remained in disqualified status for this period of time does not, in itself, constitute a basis for
reinstatement. Proof of commitment to higher education is required. For example, the ability to do satisfactory college work in the
chosen discipline by completing pertinent courses in the discipline at a community college with higher-than-average grades or
satisfactory completion of an internship or work experience with supporting documentation.
Graduate Policies
Advising and Program of Study
The program of study is planned in consultation with an appointed supervisory committee. It is designed for flexibility, permitting
the student to select a combination of courses in a technological area and a supporting area to meet individual career goals. A
minimum of 33 credit hours is required for the degree program. Of these, a minimum of 15 credit hours must be 500-level courses
and part of the approved program. A maximum of 12 hours of course work may be taken from offerings outside the College of
Technology and Innovation with approval of the appropriate academic program or department. Programs of study for the M.S.Tech.,
with an interdisciplinary area of concentration, may have up to but not more than 15 hours of course work drawn from areas
outside the College of Technology and Innovation at the discretion of the program or department in which the concentration is
administered. A maximum of nine credit hours of appropriate course work completed before admission may be included in the
program of study.

Exploratory Status Eligibility

Academic Catalog Archive 2011-2012 154

Students may remain designated as exploratory track status until they complete 45 credit hours. Students who have not declared a
major by the time they have completed 45 credit hours are placed on administrative hold, which prevents registration for future
ASU semesters, until the student has declared a major.
Degree Requirements
Critical Requirements
All incoming ASU freshmen are required to complete critical tracking requirements that provide a foundation for future study in
each field. University College has developed major maps, with critical tracking requirements, that support the exploration of
potential majors during a student’s first three semesters at the university. Upon admission to ASU, all first-year exploratory students
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 by 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 are available
at https://webapp4.asu.edu/programs/t5/MajorMaps [2].
Degree Requirements
Required Courses
All exploratory students are required to enroll in a UNI 150/250 major and career exploration class each semester the student
remains designated as an exploratory track student.
All new freshman exploratory students are required to enroll in the ASU 101 course during their first ASU semester.

Plan of Study
This program consists of 12 hours of dissertation and 72 hours of course work and research. Students may not apply credit hours
earned for a doctoral degree previously awarded at ASU or another institution toward their current ASU doctoral degree. However,
at the academic unit's discretion, students may apply up to 30 credit hours from a previously awarded master's degree toward their
doctoral plan of study.
Students work with their study committees to determine an appropriate plan of study. Common areas of functional specialization
among doctoral studies include financial and managerial accounting, auditing and taxation. With these functional areas, doctoral
studies may emphasize experimental or archival research methods. All accountancy doctoral students are required to take a threesemester sequence of accountancy doctoral course work. A maximum of 12 approved graduate credit hours can be transferred to
satisfy program requirements.
Comprehensive Examinations
Upon completion of all necessary course work on a student's approved plan of study, the academic unit may initiate the scheduling
and administering of a student's comprehensive examinations. The comprehensive examination consists of a minimum of a written
exam; at the discretion of the academic unit, an oral exam may also be required.
Candidacy
Ph.D. students are notified of achieving candidacy status in a letter from the dean of the Graduate College upon 1) passing the
comprehensive examinations, and 2) successfully defending the dissertation prospectus.
Dissertation Requirements
Students are required to present a dissertation to satisfy the research requirement for the Ph.D. degree. The dissertation is
defended in an oral examination commonly known as the dissertation defense.
Students must be enrolled in at least one credit hour that appears on the program of study or one hour of appropriate graduatelevel credit (such as 795 Continuing Registration) during the semester (including summer session) in which the student defends the
dissertation.
Note: For detailed information regarding the university's doctoral degree requirements, please refer to the Graduate College's
Doctor of Philosophy policy and procedures.
Maximum Time Limit
Doctoral students must complete all program requirements within a 10-year period. The 10-year period starts with the initial
enrollment into the doctoral program. In addition, the student must take the final oral examination in defense of the dissertation
within five years after passing the comprehensive examinations. Any exception must be approved by the supervisory committee and
the dean of the Graduate College, and ordinarily involves repetition of the comprehensive examinations.
Admission Requirements: All applicants must submit the Graduate College online application. Applications are initially reviewed by
a School of Accountancy doctoral committee using a portfolio approach. In addition to GMAT scores and prior academic
performance, letters of recommendation and a personal statement are reviewed to ensure a good “fit” between the student's goals
and the school. A recommendation for action is then made to the director of Ph.D. programs in the W. P. Carey School of Business,
who in turn makes a recommendation to the Graduate College. The Graduate College either admits or denies each applicant and
notifies them in writing.

is to prepare scholars to conduct high-quality research and teach in the field of supply chain management. Supply chain
management incorporates the core areas of logistics, operations management and sourcing/purchasing.
It is a full-time residential program for students whose career goals are full-time university research and teaching upon completion
of the degree. Students are trained to competently recognize SCM-related problems, frame these problems into research questions
and address them in a scholarly manner. Students are required to review, analyze, conduct and publish research through a series of
doctoral seminars and supplemental course work that encourages creativity and critical thinking.
Degree Requirements: 84 credit hours a Written Comprehensive Exam a Prospectus and a Dissertation
The Ph.D. program requires the completion of course work, the completion of academic papers for submission to journals, a
comprehensive exam and a dissertation. The program is generally viewed as a four-year process. Most students will serve in
research assistantships for all four years. During the program, students are expected to actively participate in required courses as
well as in seminars and presentations from colleagues, department faculty and visiting scholars. Students will also have the
opportunity to teach courses during their Ph.D program. Teaching assistantships will typically be made available during the last two
years of the program. This will allow doctoral students to get research projects and manuscripts into the multi-year pipeline typical
of accepted research articles. Through our areas of excellence, centers and faculty, the SCM program has special opportunities for
industry-based research projects.
Course Work
The Ph.D. program consists of a minimum of 84 credit hours of approved graduate course work beyond the bachelor's degree. The
department requires doctoral students to take 48 credit hours of graduate course work in residence at ASU during their first two
years. The specific classes must be approved by faculty in the student's area of excellence. Students are also required to take 12
hours of research and 12 hours of dissertation credit. A maximum of 12 credits can be transferred from previous graduate course
work. Moreover, each student's program of study must be approved in advance by their program chair.
Academic Papers
Students are expected to work on academic papers for submission to journals during their Ph.D. program. Summer months are
intended for manuscript writing for those students who have yet to successfully defend their dissertation proposals. At the end of
each summer, all doctoral students are required to have at least one new manuscript ready for submission to a journal for
publication. Faculty in the areas of excellence will supervise manuscript planning and writing. The bulk of the writing is to be done
during the summer by the student. Faculty in the student's area of excellence will evaluate the papers and provide detailed feedback
and instructions for rewriting/reworking of papers.
Comprehensive Examinations
Upon completion of all necessary course work on a student's approved program of study, the academic unit may initiate the
scheduling and administering of a student's comprehensive examinations. The comprehensive examination consists of a minimum of

Theatre (Theatre/Performance Americas), PHD (FAPERAMPHD)
Online Degree Search Title: Theatre (Performance America) - PhD
Campus: TEMPE

Program Description: The Ph.D. in theatre, with a concentration in theatre and performance of the Americas, trains scholars to
examine the histories, theories and practices associated with cultural performance, from a hemispheric point of view. Through
course work, seminars, research and study opportunities, doctoral students work from diverse critical perspectives that mobilize
thought across geographical and disciplinary borders. They, thereby, develop skills to re-examine and interrogate the canon of
theatre as text and as performance, expanding the traditional boundaries of theatre studies in two ways:
 Via a perspective that considers the shared histories and practices of theatre and performance in the Americas as central to an
intervention in traditionally narrated histories and theories of theatre.
 Via the methodologies of cultural and performance studies that accommodate other forms of embodied expression related to,
but distinct from, formal theatrical expression.
The course of study is designed to provide substantive historical and theoretical grounding in the field, while allowing flexibility in
the choice of specialized seminar and practical experiences. The first year of study immerses students in the theoretical and practical
ground work of performance research in general, and modalities of performance in the Americas in particular. In the second year,
students build on research interests identified in the first year through specialized course work and practical experience.
Degree Requirements: 90 credit hours a Foreign Language Exam a Written Comprehensive Exam an Oral Comprehensive Exam a
Prospectus and a Dissertation
A total of 60 credit hours are required after completion of a master's degree in a relevant discipline.

the research is completed, the dissertation must be written and presented in a public seminar and successfully defended before the
supervisory committee.
Admission Requirements: The graduate committee will be responsible for decisions concerning potential recruitment of students
and admission recommendation of students to the program.
They will also be highly active in the recruitment procedure each year.
Requirements
A bachelor's degree in science or engineering from a regionally accredited institution (or equivalent degree) is required.
 An official ASU Graduate College application.
 A statement of career and educational goals.
 Identify at least three neuroscience faculty in area of interest.
 Official GRE scores.
 Official transcripts of all undergraduate and graduate course work.
 Three letters of recommendation (two of which should be academic recommendations).
Regular admission may be granted to applicants who have achieved a GPA of 3.00 (4.00 scale) or better in the last two years of work
leading to a bachelor's degree and who are competitive in the applicant pool as evidenced by GRE verbal, quantitative and analytical
scores, the statement of educational/career goals and the letters of recommendation. Particular attention will be paid to research
experience and overall preparation in problem solving abilities as evidenced by previous course work, research experiences and/or
GRE scores.
Because this program draws on an extremely broad range of disciplinary backgrounds in recruiting students, there is no specific set
of undergraduate course requirements other than those implied by the degree requirements described above. Most students will be
expected to have had course work in biology, chemistry and math, or demonstrated ability through a subject test GRE. During the
first semester, student progress in the core course will be closely monitored for difficulty in specific areas.

http://www.lsac.org.
The Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law will provide full file review to 100 percent of the completed applications to the J.D.

objective criteria alone. Among the other factors considered by the admissions committee are:
 Ability to communicate.
 Demonstrated commitment to public service.
 Diversity of experience and background.

Behavioral Health, DBH (LSBEVHEDBH)
Online Degree Search Title: Behavioral Health DBH
Campus: DTPHX

Academic Catalog Archive 2011-2012 287

Program Description: The D.B.H. is a new degree to prepare behavioral clinicians to provide integrated behavioral care in primary
care and other medical settings. The D.B.H. 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. The
D.B.H. 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 D.B.H. curriculum is unique in that it:
 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 D.B.H.
in 18 months (part-time enrollment is also available).
 Is available via a traditional residential program or via a distance-learning program.
 Replaces the dissertation with a clinically focused culminating research project.
Focused clinical practicum 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 D.B.H. 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.
Degree Requirements: 84 credit hours including the required course (IBC 793) and an Applied Project
 Core course requirements (33).
 Elective courses (9-12).
 Practicum and culminating experience (9-12).
 Previously awarded master's degree or other courses approved by the supervisory committee (30).
Admission Requirements: All applicants must 1) submit a Graduate College application, and 2) possess a bachelor's degree and a
master's degree from a regionally accredited postsecondary institution in the U.S., or an equivalent degree from a recognized
international postsecondary institution.
Applicants must have a minimum of a 3.00 GPA calculated on the last 60 credit hours of their first bachelor's degree.

Program Description: The M.A.S. in American media and popular culture will offer working professionals and international students
in the U.S., particularly secondary education teachers interested in film and media studies and media literacy education, an
opportunity to earn a graduate-level degree in the aesthetics, history and culture of American media (film, television and the
Internet). Arizona high schools are slowly but continually expanding their offerings in film, television and media literacy, and
teachers need to continue their education and earn graduate-level degrees to advance in their profession. We also believe the
program will attract non-traditional students interested in advancing their knowledge of moving image culture. The program will be
offered through distance learning, thereby providing students from around the state and globe with a visually interactive yet flexible
learning environment. As such, we believe it will be of particular interest to international students.
Since this is a distance learning program, international students will not be issued any non-immigrant documents, since they will not
be eligible to obtain a student visa.
Degree Requirements: 30 Credit Hours including the required course (FMS 593) and an Applied Project
The program consists of 12 credit hours of required courses, and 18 credit hours of electives.

Applied Linguistics, PHD (EDAPLPHD)

Online Degree Search Title: Applied Linguistics (PHD)
Campus: TEMPE

Academic Catalog Archive 2011-2012 296

Program Description: Applied linguistics combines research topics in the linguistic sciences and education to pursue principled
approaches to language-related concerns. Applied linguistics at ASU is focused on simultaneous and developmental bilingualism in
children and adolescents. The program is a partnership between the Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College and the College of Liberal
Arts and Sciences.
Degree Requirements: 84 credit hours a Written Comprehensive Exam a Prospectus and a Dissertation
There must be a minimum of 54 credit hours beyond the master's level, including a minimum of 12 units of dissertation credit. All
students in the program must satisfy 21 units of foundations course work.
Because applied linguistics is interdisciplinary in nature, applicants may differ from one another with regard to their prior experience
and preparation. For instance, while some applicants may have substantial prior training in core theoretical linguistics (foundations),
others may have considerable preparation in an area related to a supported concentration. A student's academic advisor, in
consultation with the program director and program oversight committee, may address potential redundancies in a student's
program requirements with prior academic preparation by 1) allocating a maximum of 30 credit hours from an awarded and
approved graduate degree toward the applied linguistics program requirements, and/or 2) permitting the student to take additional
elective courses in lieu of introductory courses covered in an undergraduate program.
A. Foundations (21)
 Overview of the field: a three-credit course providing a survey of the field of applied linguistics.
 Linguistics: 15 credits of required course work in theoretical linguistics and one approved linguistics elective.
B. Teaching Internship (2)
C. Colloquia (4)
A four-semester sequence of 1-credit colloquium meetings for students in the first two years. All students and program faculty are
encouraged to attend.
D. Research Methods (6)

F. Breadth (6)
Six credits of course work in a secondary concentration area.
G. Dissertation (12)
Students in the applied linguistics doctoral program are additionally required to demonstrate proficiency in a second language
equivalent to two years of study. A language appropriate to the student's area of interest is selected in consultation with the advisor.
The language requirement must be satisfied, by examination or course work, prior to advancement to candidacy. Computer or other
nonhuman languages may not be used to satisfy this requirement. Students for whom English is a second language may use their
first language to satisfy the requirement by examination. Course credit used to satisfy the language requirement cannot be used to
satisfy other program requirements, and cannot be counted toward the total required 84 credits.
Admission Requirements: Applicants must submit an online Graduate College application.
The application must include:
 An academic writing sample.
 Official GRE scores and transcripts of all undergraduate and graduate course work.

Global Health, MA (LASSHMA)

Online Degree Search Title: Global Health (MA)
Campus: TEMPE
Program Description: In this master's degree, global health is considered to be much more and very different from international
public health. 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 illhealth 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, multifaceted health challenges that defy easy fixes, such as:

Climate-change-related disease.
Obesity.
 Remerging infectious diseases.



Students develop an applied project to contribute to the team goals. By applying a collaborative, problem-solving format, the M.A. 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 course (SSH 593) and an Applied Project
All students must take SSH 502 Professional Seminar in Global Health (1) in their first and second semester for a total of two credits.
This is the forum in which students will learn about the research teams and get to know faculty and other students.
Students must select at least one clearly methods-focused course or any graduate-level epidemiology course (3 credits):
AML 613 Methods and Concepts in Math Epidemiology (3)
ASB 500 Ethnographic Research Methods (3)
ESS 513 Institutions (3)
Students select three of the following courses (9 credits total):
ASB 510/SSH 510 Health-Social and Biocultural Theories (3)
ESS 514 Urban and Environmental Health (3)
SSH/ ASM 514 Infectious Disease and Human Evolution (3)
SSH 511 Ethics in Health Social Science Research (3)
ASM 591 ST: Infectious Disease and Human Evolution (3)
ASM 546 Principles of Human Genetics (3)
WST 710 Women and Health (3)
SSH/ASB 400 Poverty, Social Justice, and Global Health (3)
ASB 462 Culture and Health: Medical Anthropology (3)
ASB 503 Medical Anthropology (3) or POS/SGS 531 Global Health Governance (3) or approved alternatives.
Substitutes may be permitted by the graduate director, including individualized research/conference/independent study courses
with approved faculty. Additional methods-focused courses and/or graduate-level epidemiology courses can count toward this
requirement.
Students also complete a minimum of 10 hours of international research collaboration, internship or practicum, arranged through
the school's global practicum program, which ties students to established faculty/ASU research initiatives and international
collaborations.
Admission Requirements: All applicants are required to submit the Graduate College's online application. In addition to general
requirements for admission to the Graduate College, the M.A. in global health program application requires students to provide:
 A current curriculum vitae or resume.
 Official GRE scores.
 An optional sample of their written work.
 A statement of purpose outlining career and educational goals.
 Three letters of recommendation.
 Transcripts of all undergraduate and graduate course work.
Admission is competitive and based on student academic excellence, additional relevant experience, plus fit to available faculty.
Minimum GPA for consideration for admission would normally be 3.50, on a 4.00 scale, for the last two years of study leading to the
bachelor's degree. A degree in the social or life sciences (e.g., anthropology, sociology, gender studies, geography, political science),
public health, or related fields (nutrition, human biology) is generally expected for applicants. Value will be placed on:
 Prior social science and life science research.
 Practical, cross-cultural/international experiences.
 Foreign language skills.

Global Health, PHD (LASSHPHD)

Online Degree Search Title: Global Health (PhD)
Campus: TEMPE
Program Description: The Ph.D. in global health draws on the premise that sustainable and satisfying solutions to our most pressing
global health challenges requires a sophisticated understanding of how cultural context, social and ecological processes and disease
are really related.
The transdisciplinary graduate program trains students broadly in cutting-edge health social science research theory and methods.
While it leverages the strength in medical anthropology at ASU (including the 15 medical anthropologists on campus), it also takes
advantage of a much wider set of skills offered by such fields as:
 Demography.
 Epidemiology.
 Human geography.
 Medical sociology.
It is designed to train those who anticipate either working in transdisciplinary academic settings, medical schools or nonacademic
health settings, such as:
 The commercial sector.
 Governmental agencies.
 Non-governmental organizations (NGOs).
Some particular thematic foci of the program are:
 Biocultural approaches to human coping.
 Computer-based complexity modeling.
 Culture and health.
 Health in the Americas.
 Indigenous and minority health.
 Mathematical epidemiology.
 Nutritional anthropology.
 Social justice and vulnerable populations.
 Social networks.
 Urban and environmental health.
The programs draw some 80 faculty from all across the university to consider how cutting-edge social science can be applied to not
only understand but also to substantively improve the health of populations. The program favors community-based research and
runs collaborative projects in which students are encouraged to gain experience and conduct research, from large U.S. cities to
hunter-gatherer communities. Students generally enter the program with an M.A. in a relevant field.
Degree Requirements: 84 credit hours a Written Comprehensive Exam an Oral Comprehensive Exam a Prospectus and a Dissertation
The Ph.D. program consists of:
 Eighty-four hours of course work post-bachelor's.
 Fifty-four hours (30 course work, 12 research, and 12 dissertation hours) post-master's.
 A written comprehensive examination and the oral defense of a doctoral proposal/prospectus.
 A dissertation.
Students entering with an M.A. in a related field may be granted up to 30 credit hours toward the 84 hour total required for the
Ph.D. Students must maintain a “B-” (3.20) average GPA in their courses and complete degree requirements per the program's
satisfactory progress policy. Students without an M.A. must earn an additional 30 hours of graduate credit, selecting courses from a
number of appropriate programs on campus.
Students entering the Ph.D. in social science and health do so with diverse backgrounds and with varied career goals. Curricular
tracks will tend to be individualized and final determination of the most appropriate course of study or how each requirement
should most appropriately be met is made by a student in collaboration with a faculty advisor.

The concentration in culture and health provides focused, specialized training in theories and methods for researching the
relationship between culture and health. This concentration utilizes the perspectives of medical anthropology and sophisticated
ethnographic methods to study and interpret the role of cultural and social differences in shaping health. Students investigate these
methods in the context of the community-based, participatory approaches that tend to promote the most mutually meaningful and
lasting health solutions. Graduates are thus particularly prepared for leadership in addressing health disparities in cross-cultural
settings and with the most vulnerable populations. This includes very complex, difficult settings where particularly nuanced and
sophisticated (often anthropological) understandings of health-related challenges are needed.

Global Health (Evolutionary Global Health Sciences), PHD (LASSHEPHD)
Online Degree Search Title: Global Health (Evolutionary Global Health Sciences) PhD
Campus: TEMPE

Program Description: The Ph.D. in global health with a concentration in evolutionary global health sciences will provide research
training in anthropological and evolutionary theories and methods to investigate complex relationships among the processes by
which cultural, ecological, environmental (natural and built) and genetic dimensions produce, through intergenerational
transmission, the uneven but shared patterns of human population health. It is a standard type of concentration to be offered only
under the Ph.D. in global health. The curriculum draws from a trans-disciplinary academic approach based on the fields of cultural
evolutionary ecology and human behavioral ecology in combination with evolutionary theories (niche construction, dual inheritance
and life history) and observational social sciences and public health methods that simultaneously take into account the effects of
culture, ecology, environment and genetics on health. The concentration requires training in universal principles of research design from experiments to systematic qualitative and quantitative description - data analyses methods (quantitative and qualitative) and
anthropological interpretation, or the identification of determinants of the origins and distribution of health phenotypes in past and
present human populations. Students will choose from a wide range of data collection and inferential tools in order to address
specific questions, through a combination of lecture and guided reading courses designed to master the highly diverse literature in
evolutionary global health sciences that best pertains to their career goals.

A minimum of 30 credit hours of graduate studies are required for a master's degree in history: 24 credit hours of course work, plus
six hours of thesis research credits (HST 599). The thesis equivalent option substitutes six credit hours of HST 592 or HST 593 in place
of the six hours of HST 599 and requires as well an additional three credit hours of HST 591 (six total instead of three) in the 30 hours
of the plan of study. See http://shprs.clas.asu.edu/masters_hst for more information. With the approval of the supervisory
committee, candidates may take up to six credit hours of closely related interdisciplinary course work in another academic unit.
Master's students select a primary field and a research specialization. Available primary fields include:
 East/Southeast Asia.
 Europe.
 Latin America.
 North America.
 Public history.
Note: public history students pursue a double concentration, e.g., public history and North American history, or public history and
European history. For public history information and requirements see http://shprs.clas.asu.edu/publichistory.
Advising: At the beginning of the first semester of study, the student, in consultation with the graduate director, selects a faculty
advisor who will help direct the student to the completion of the required course work and thesis. Normally, the advisor is selected,

at least tentatively, prior to enrollment or within the first six weeks of the fall semester. The faculty advisor helps the student select
the other two members of the supervisory committee and together they develop the plan of study. The advisor, with the candidate,
is primarily responsible for determining the plan of study, selecting the topic of the thesis or of the thesis equivalent, and guiding the
student's research. The second and third committee members must be selected by the time the program of study is submitted at the
end of the first year.
Thesis: The culminating experience of the master's degree program is the writing, presentation and defense of a thesis or thesisequivalent based on original research. The thesis, an extended essay of approximately 100 pages, addresses a topic chosen by the
student in consultation with the faculty advisor who serves as chair of the supervisory committee. The thesis explores a limited
subject in depth, analyzing, explaining and drawing conclusions from the information gleaned from primary and secondary sources.
The thesis thereby demonstrates the student's ability to:
 Analyze and argue points cogently.
 Do research in the primary sources of the field.
 Organize and develop a topic.
 Survey and synthesize the relevant secondary literature on the topic.
 Write proficiently.

Program Description: Nationally, there is great interest in science and in understanding the nature of science and the forces that
change scientific research. The job market in philosophy is strong for philosophers of science (and especially in the life sciences) with
some positions remaining unfilled even when the market is intensely competitive in other areas. In addition, the history and
philosophy of science is becoming a strong disciplinary emphasis within growing professional societies.
Some programs elsewhere focus primarily on philosophy or primarily on history, but those that bring the two together are regarded
among the strongest in each area. The objective here is to provide a program for students who come to history and philosophy of
science from the humanities, and who seek a career based in philosophical analysis of the sciences. We have the research strength
competitive with any international program.

 History.
 Impacts on society.
This degree program is especially appropriate for students with a background in philosophy or those who wish to pursue a degree in
philosophy, and who seek to broaden their disciplinary studies with an historical perspective.
Applicants will typically come from undergraduate programs that have included philosophical training or with a master's degree in
philosophy. Science students are eligible as well, and will make up the core courses during their first years. Application is through the
Department of Philosophy.
Nationally, there is great interest in science and in understanding the nature of science and the forces that change scientific
research. The job market in philosophy is strong for philosophers of science (and especially in the life sciences) with some positions
remaining unfilled even when the market is intensely competitive in other areas. In addition, the history and philosophy of science is
becoming a strong disciplinary emphasis within growing professional societies. Some programs elsewhere focus primarily on
philosophy or primarily on history, but those that bring the two together are regarded among the strongest in each area. The
objective here is to provide a program for students who come to the history of philosophy and science from the humanities and who
seek a career based in philosophical analysis of the sciences. The program has research strength competitive with any program
internationally.

Psychology, PHD (LAPSYCHPHD)
Online Degree Search Title: Psychology (PhD)
Campus: TEMPE

Program Description: The Department of Psychology offers doctoral programs designed to provide outstanding training in
innovative research, methodology and the application of psychological principles to a wide variety of human conditions. The
department is organized into six major areas of interest:
 Behavioral neuroscience.
 Clinical.
 Cognition, action and perception.
 Developmental.
 Quantitative.
 Social psychology.
Students pursue their graduate studies within one of these six areas, and each area determines the basic curriculum for their
graduate program. 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) 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.

Academic Catalog Archive 2011-2012 373

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.
 Women's issues.



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 W. P. Carey School of Business and the New College of Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences.
The program for the M.S. in statistics provides preparation for either a research-oriented or a practice-oriented career.
Requirements specific to this program ensure balanced attention to the theoretical and applied aspects of the discipline of statistics.
The program prepares students for careers in business, education, industry and government. Graduates understand the theory that
is fundamental to the proper use of statistics, are knowledgeable about the tools of applied statistics and are familiar with computer
software packages available for doing statistical computations. In addition, students interested in research in statistics can obtain
the background needed to begin a doctoral program. Flexibility in the program reflects the fact that statistical analysis is one of the
most widely used tools of modern scientific reasoning.
Degree Requirements: 30 credit hours a Thesis and an Oral Comprehensive Exam or 30 credit hours an Applied Project and an Oral
Comprehensive Exam
Completion of the degree requires 30 credit hours of approved credit, none of which may be from the prerequisites. The program
must include the nine credit hours from three required theory courses:
STP 501 Probability

(IEE 599, ECN 599 or STP 599). The applied project or thesis must be defended at an oral examination. The content of the applied
project report or thesis must, in its final form, be suitable for submission to an academic journal or conference proceedings. The
thesis must conform to Graduate College format requirements.
The remaining nine or 12 credit hours come from elective courses chosen by the student with the approval of supervising faculty. A
maximum of six credit hours may be chosen from a related field on which statistics relies (such as computer science) or in which
statistics is an essential tool (e.g., biostatistics, quality control). The elective courses allow the student to emphasize a particular area
of statistical inference, culminating in an applied project report or a thesis on a topic in that area. No foreign language or written
comprehensive examinations are required.
The student has considerable flexibility in selecting an area of specialty. Possible areas of specialty include, among others:
 Applied data analysis.
 Bayesian analysis.
 Biostatistics.
 Categorical data analysis.
 Data mining.
 Design of experiments.
 Industrial statistics.
 Linear models.

New College of Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences
Communication Studies, MA (ASCOMSTMA)
Online Degree Search Title: Communication Studies (MA)
Campus: WEST

Program Description: The M.A. in communication studies prepares students for communication-intensive roles in such fields as:
 Community relations.
 Employee communication.
 Grass-roots advocacy.
 Health communication.
 Media campaigns.
 Political communication.
 Public affairs.
 Technology-mediated communication systems.
A substantive number of graduates pursue the Ph.D. and careers in teaching and research.
Within the M.A. 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/or 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 that 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 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 M.A. in
communication studies seeks to provide those interested in advocacy the opportunity to develop the intellectual and conceptual
skills necessary to follow that calling.
Degree Requirements: 36 credit hours and a Thesis or 36 credit hours and a Written Comprehensive Exam or 36 credit hours and an
Applied Project
The degree consists of these courses:
CMN 502 Theory and Practice in Communication and Persuasion (3) or CMN 522 Argumentation and Advocacy (3)
CMN 505 Methods in Applied Communication Research (3)
CMN 506 Humanistic Inquiry and Field Research in Communication (3)
Electives* (21)
Thesis or applied project (6) or written comprehensive examination plus six credit hours of course work (6)
* At least 21 credit hours of electives are selected in consultation with the student's program advisor. When appropriate, students
may take up to six credit hours outside the program.
Additional Requirements
CMN 502 or 522, 505, and 506 must be completed with a grade of "B" (3.00) or higher. In addition, the student must earn a
cumulative GPA of 3.00 or higher in all courses numbered 500 or above that appear on the transcript and all courses that appear on
the program of study.
The determination of requirements for each student's program of study is the mutual responsibility of the student and his or her
advisor. Students are permitted to take comprehensive examinations only concurrent with, or subsequent to, completion of their
36th credit hour of course work. Students who choose to complete the thesis or applied project option are permitted to register for
thesis or applied project credit hours only concurrent with, or subsequent to, completion of their 24th credit hour of course work.
Thesis or Applied Project
The thesis or applied project must demonstrate intellectual, academic, and/or professional growth and ability. The thesis or applied
project are supervised and approved by the student's advisor and committee. An oral defense is required for the thesis or applied
project.

of business and economic analysis and who can apply these methods to critical research problems faced by firms in the agribusiness
industry. With this background, graduates with a concentration in agribusiness are qualified to assume teaching and research
positions at top-ranked research universities.
Agribusiness Ph.D. students are involved with research in:
 Consumer behavior in food markets.
 Derivatives, commodity trading and risk management.
 Food and fiber supply chain management.
 International agricultural trade and policy.
 Strategic marketing by food retailers.
Degree Requirements: 84 credit hours a Written Comprehensive Exam a Prospectus and a Dissertation
Plan of Study
At least 30 hours (which may include research credit) of the approved Ph.D. program and 12 dissertation hours must be completed
after admission to the student's Ph.D. program. Students may not apply credit hours earned for a doctoral degree previously
awarded at ASU or another institution toward their current ASU doctoral degree. However, at the individual academic unit's
discretion, students may apply up to 30 credit hours from a previously awarded master's degree toward their doctoral plan of study.
Agribusiness Ph.D. students are expected to develop a program of study that consists of three elements:
 A core of theory and quantitative methods course work in economics and management from the W. P. Carey School of
Business.
 Advanced courses in at least one of economics, finance, marketing, supply chain management or management from the W. P.
Carey School of Business.
 A three-course sequence of Ph.D.-level theory and methods as applied to issues and concepts specific to the agribusiness
sector from the Morrison School of Management and Agribusiness.
The agribusiness Ph.D. is designed to allow “flexibility with focus,” so each student's program of study is unique, but is designed to
produce the highest level of research competency in the student's chosen area of interest.
Comprehensive Examinations
Upon completion of all necessary course work on a student's approved program of study, the academic unit may initiate the
scheduling and administering of a student's comprehensive examinations. The comprehensive examination consists of a minimum of
a written exam; at the discretion of the academic unit, an oral exam may also be required.
Candidacy
Ph.D. students are notified of achieving candidacy status in a letter from the dean of the Graduate College upon 1) passing the
comprehensive examinations, and 2) successfully defending the dissertation prospectus.
Dissertation Requirements
Students are required to present a dissertation to satisfy the research requirement for the Ph.D. degree. The dissertation is
defended in an oral examination commonly known as the dissertation defense.
Students must be enrolled in at least one credit hour that appears on the program of study or one hour of appropriate graduatelevel credit (such as 795 Continuing Registration) during the semester (including summer session) in which the student defends the
dissertation.
Note: For detailed information regarding the university's doctoral degree requirements, please refer to the Graduate College's
Doctor of Philosophy policy and procedures.
Maximum Time Limit
Doctoral students must complete all program requirements within a 10-year period. The 10-year period starts with the initial
enrollment into the doctoral program. In addition, the student must take the final oral examination in defense of the dissertation
within five years after passing the comprehensive examinations. Any exception must be approved by the supervisory committee and
the dean of the Graduate College, and ordinarily involves repetition of the comprehensive examinations.
Admission Requirements: All applicants must submit the Graduate College online application. Applications are initially reviewed by
a faculty committee using a portfolio approach. In addition to GRE or GMAT scores and prior academic performance, letters of
recommendation and a personal statement are reviewed to ensure a good “fit” between the student's goals and the department. A
recommendation for action is then made to the associate dean in the W. P. Carey School of Business who in turn makes a
recommendation to the Graduate College. The Graduate College either admits or denies each applicant and notifies them in writing.

Media Analysis Minor (CSCMOMINA)
Campus: DTPHX

Academic Catalog Archive 2011-2012 520

Description: The mass media, more than ever before, plays a vital role in how information is disseminated and how societies are
shaped and function. As traditional forms of media and information dissemination change rapidly in an increasingly technological
world, it is more important than ever for students to understand the way that media work, as well as learn to evaluate the messages
that are sent. All students can benefit from the study of mass communications institutions, functions and techniques. In this minor,
students will learn to understand the roles that media play, how they are changing and their impact. They will be given the tools
they need to critically evaluate, analyze and interpret media messages in order to become wise consumers of media themselves.
Program Requirements: The minor of media analysis consists of 18 credit hours of course work. This is a requirement consistent
with many other minor programs at Arizona State University and at other colleges and universities. The focus of the program is on
media analysis. Students in the minor will concentrate on evaluating the impact of information dissemination rather than on topics
that focus on the practice of gathering and distributing messages. Students in the minor may not register for courses in the
professional journalism curriculum.
To take upper-division courses, the student must be at least a sophomore (25 credit hours). To pursue the minor in media analysis,
the student must maintain a minimum 2.00 overall GPA, obtain a minimum grade of ""C"" (2.00) in each course in the minor and
have a major other than journalism and mass communication.
Three specific classes will be required (nine hours). The required classes are:
MCO 120 Media and Society, SB (3)
MCO 240 Media Issues in American Pop Culture (3)
MCO 418 History of Mass Communication, SB, H (3)
In addition, students select three additional courses (nine hours) from the list of electives offered by the Journalism school. The
common element of these courses is that they focus on understanding specific aspects of the mass media and how those aspects
impact individuals and societies in terms of function, effects, and enculturation. Electives offered include:
MCO 200 Introduction to the Electronic Media (3)
MCO 240 Media Issues in American Pop Culture (3)
MCO 430 International Mass Communication, G (3)
MCO 435 Social Media (3)
MCO 450 Visual Communication, HU (3)
MCO 455 War and the Mass Media (3)

MCO 465 Sports and Media (3)
MCO 473 Sex, Love and Romance in the Mass Media, SB (3)
MCO 494 Special Topic courses (3)
Enrollment Requirements: Students in most majors may pursue one or more minors and, upon successful completion of the
prescribed course work, have that accomplishment officially recognized on the ASU transcript at graduation if, 1) the college and/or
department of the minor officially certifies, through established verification procedures, that all requirements for the minor have
been met, and 2) the college (and, in certain colleges, the department) of the student's major allows the official recognition of the
minor.

Digital Culture Certificate (HIDGCCERT)
Campus: TEMPE

Description: The digital culture certificate program in the Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts focuses on the creative
exploration of how new media is influencing our culture, or rather, the way we live, learn, create and communicate. The digital
culture certificate will allow students to enhance their program of study with integrated, interdisciplinary training in creative
processes and technical skills in new media with cultural applications.The digital culture curriculum is outcomes-based rather than
course sequence based. The curriculum uses an innovative proficiency-based network to connect courses across academic
disciplines, instead of traditional methods such as course prerequisites. Proficiencies in the curriculum identify common generalized
learning outcomes across disciplines participating in the initiative.
Program Requirements: The digital culture certificate requires 18 credit hours (12 upper division) in four areas:Digital Culture Core
(9)Media Arts and Design (3)Media Engineering (3)Capstone Culminating Project (3)A minimum grade of a "C" (2.00) and an overall
GPA of 3.00 is required in all classes in the certificate. Courses in the certificate may not be used as part of a major. All upper division
certificate course work must be taken at ASU.Generous substitution rules allow for course flexibility. Students receiving the digital
culture certificate can petition to substitute up to six credit hours. Three credit hours can come from any course related to digital
culture and may be achieved through courses offered by any unit of ASU including the Polytechnic, Downtown, West (IAP), and the
FMS program on the Tempe campus. Courses may include any on the related subject/substitution list (below) or courses with
comparable content. The other three substitution hours can be achieved through one of the following two paths:
• The three-hour media arts and design course requirement may be substituted with a three-hour course in the digital culture
related category.
• The three-hour media engineering requirement may be substituted with a three-hour course in the digital culture related
category, or by a related upper-level engineering course offered by one of the collaborating units.
Enrollment Requirements: For current ASU students, there is no special application process for the digital culture certificate.
Students add the certificate by meeting with the academic advisor for their major and the digital culture education coordinator to
develop the digital culture pathway that best meets the proficiencies for the work they are interested in pursuing. This pathway will
be contingent upon the student's academic performance in 100-level course work.For students not currently enrolled at ASU,
students must apply and be admitted to ASU in a degree or non-degree program. Students must meet with the digital culture
education coordinator before enrolling in the certificate program. The coordinator and student will develop a pathway that best
meets the proficiencies for the work he or she is interested in pursuing. The coordinator will review the student's previous academic
work to determine which proficiencies the student has completed.Digital culture certificate students will work with the digital
culture education coordinator and successfully complete the required sequence of courses and proficiencies for a digital culture
certificate. The digital culture education coordinator and the digital culture faculty committee in the Herberger Institute for Design
and the Arts will help to craft the best path for the student.

Campus: DTPHX

Description: The undergraduate certificate in lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender studies is offered by the Committee on Lesbian,

ethnic, religious, geographic and national identities. The philosophy of this certificate program is to promote intellectual and
pedagogical diversity as one of the university's greatest assets, in part by instilling in students sensitivity to cultures different from
their own, but also through careful analysis of the self in historical, artistic and sociocultural contexts. The goals of the certificate
program are to give students:


An understanding of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender studies as an academic area of inquiry.
An understanding of community politics, dynamics and conflicts.
Use-inspired education that culminates in a public presentation.

implicated in human conflict. Required course work in at least two different regions fosters a comparative understanding of the
dynamics of religion and conflict in historical and global contexts.
 Political component (3): courses in this category explore how religion influences, or is influenced by, matters of state, law,
government or other dimensions of political life.
 Cultural component (3): courses in this category provide students with an understanding of how religion operates as a
powerful force that impacts and intersects with expressions of human identity, thought and culture.
 Electives (6): any approved/qualifying course (either from the above categories or other approved classes) may be used as an
elective to fulfill remaining requirements toward the total number of credit hours and to meet the interdisciplinary requirement.
 Of the total 18 credits taken to fulfill the certificate, at least three credits must be from the social sciences (SOC, POS, SGS, or
WST) and six credits from the humanities (ARB, HST, POR, or REL).

Socio-Legal Studies Certificate (LASLSTCERT)
Campus: TEMPE

Description: The undergraduate certificate in socio-legal studies offers a model for educating and training students in the study of
legal ideas, institutions and practices from the perspectives of the social sciences, law, and the humanities. The distinction between
law “on the books” and law “in action,” which refers to how people experience law in their everyday lives, is a cornerstone of the
certificate program. Course work provides students with multiple and intersecting theoretical and methodological approaches that
reveal law as a socially embedded system of loosely connected institutions, practices, presumptions and rules. Students participating
in the certificate program will learn how to apply these socio-legal tools of analysis to their study of law in action.
Program Requirements: The certificate consists of four components to ensure students develop a broad understanding of sociolegal studies. Foundational courses in socio-legal theories (three credits) and in legal institutions (three credits) will be required.
Students will then have the option of selecting three electives (nine credits) from a set of approved courses, providing flexibility so
that they may pursue an individualized course of study. Additional courses beyond those listed on this proposal may be added with
approval of the certificate director. Finally, a three credit experiential learning component will be required, for a total of 18 credit
hours. This may be an internship within the U.S. or abroad, or a research experience under the guidance of a member of the sociolegal studies certificate faculty.
Please consult the certificate program advisor for a list of approved courses in each area.
Enrollment Requirements: Students who have attained junior standing (56 credit hours) in any undergraduate degree program at
ASU are eligible for admission to the certificate in socio-legal studies. There are no formal admissions procedures, but students
should contact the certificate in socio-legal studies program director or advisor as soon as they decide to pursue the certificate.

Informatics, BS (ESCPIBS)
Campus: TEMPE

Program Description: The Bachelor of Science (B.S.) informatics program will be an interdisciplinary degree that combines mastery
of general techniques for processing information with specialization in an application area and its information processing problems.
The design of the degree responds to the rapidly growing need for skilled workers who can take a problem-driven, system-level,
user-oriented perspective toward information and computing, who can apply current informatics methods to address society's
needs, and who can contribute to the next generation of such systems.
The program begins with the fundamentals of informatics in a general setting and in the context of disciplinary applications. The
student will select a focal area such as educational informatics, geo-informatics, etc. They will take prescribed courses and complete
a two-course capstone project in the focal area. Thus, informatics graduates will remain highly interdisciplinary, yet have a
specialization that gives them a head start on one possible career in informatics.

Global Health, BA (LASSHBA)
Campus: TEMPE

Program Description: The B.A. in global health is an interdisciplinary degree designed for students who seek a broad and flexible set
of skills for understanding contemporary health challenges and thinking about how they might best be solved. “Global” is

incorporate all cultures, places and time, and that can integrate knowledge of health's social, historical, biological and ecological
dimensions.
The curriculum emphasizes the development of core skills in critical thinking and problem solving and the importance of direct
experience (research, study abroad, service learning and advocacy). The degree cultivates capacities to deal with any complex
problem with social components: how to identify the critical issues, ask the right questions and create solutions that are meaningful
and effective.
Students are required to participate in an approved global health study abroad program.
Additional Program Fee: N.
Second Language Requirement: Y.
First Required Math Course: MAT 142 College Mathematics.

academic research, teaching, and in health services, whether in universities, government agencies, departments of health,
international agencies (WHO, CDC, Global Health Council, World Bank, Interamerican Development Bank), non-governmental
organizations, or in private business or industry. The degree also provides those who plan advanced specialist health training, such
as in nursing, medicine, dentistry or pharmacy, with a broad intellectual base that enhances later specialist training.
In Arizona and elsewhere, there is a pressing need for professionals with appropriate skills to work in cross-cultural settings or with
underserved populations (such as migrants, minorities and those living in poverty), and many of these jobs are directly or indirectly
related to health.

techniques for evaluating ideas and arguments. Philosophy develops the capacity to see the world from the perspective of other
individuals and other cultures; it enhances one's ability to perceive the relationships among the various fields of study; and it
deepens one's sense of the meaning and varieties of human experience.”

Special Education, BAE (TESPEBAE)
Campus: DTPHX, POLY, TEMPE, WEST

Program Description: The B.A.E. in special education in the Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College is available at all campuses. Special
education for children and adolescents with diverse learning needs is viewed as a service not a place. Our primary goals are to
prepare teachers to provide a variety of educational options based on individual needs and to design curriculum based on the whole
child in the context of their family, culture, community and learning needs.
Because the general education classroom is a viable placement option for many students with mild and moderate learning and
behavior disabilities, teaching special education teachers to collaborate is emphasized throughout the professional preparation
sequence. Students receive additional training in using interpersonal communication and problem-solving skills. They also learn
adaptive techniques and about assistive technologies that facilitate the successful integration of students with diverse leaning needs
in general education classrooms.
This is a dual-certificate program which leads to certification in both special education in mild cross-categorical disabilities and first
through eighth grade elementary education. All graduates of this program will have to pass state certification tests in content area
knowledge and professional knowledge. Please consult with an Academic Success Specialist for additional information.

Campus: TEMPE

Program Description: There is no pre-law program in which a student can major at ASU. Law school admission policies do not favor
one major over another, provided the pre-law student's chosen major requires substantive course work. Instead of recommending a
single program, the Association of American Law Schools suggests that an undergraduate education develop certain skills, qualities,
knowledge and insights essential to the law student and ultimately to the profession. All students interested in law school are
encouraged to meet with a pre-law advisor in FULTN 135.
Additional Program Fee: N.
Second Language Requirement: N.
Admission Requirements:
Career Opportunities: Pre-law advisors can help students make important decisions about their futures and assist them with the
technical aspects of the application process for law school programs.

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 a total of 36 credit hours of honors course work:
1.

HON 171 and HON 272/273/274, The Human Event, must be completed in sequence during a student's first
two semesters in the college.

2.

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 courses such as ENG 105 (in-person sections), CHM 117, CHM 118, PHY 333, or graduatelevel courses.

3.

Included in the 36 credit hours of honors course work are at least 18 hours of upper-division or graduatelevel 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.

4.

Those admitted as upper-division transfer students (defined as 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.

5.

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. These 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 due one academic year before the defense. The final copy of the honors
thesis or creative project must be filed by the posted deadline during the student’s graduation semester.

6.

ASU graduation requirements in an academic major must be met.

7.

Students 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 272/273/274 The Human Event, and at least 18 upper-division credits (total honors credits
must be 36). HON 171, 271, 272, 273 are cross-disciplinary 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 300level honors course. 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 no later than the first or
second semester after 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 a richer, more complex intellectual experience 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 by the student during
the first four weeks of class and completed during the semester in 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 online 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 course with the number 493 is 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 online 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), CHM
117, CHM 118, and PHY 333. Graduate level courses automatically earn honors credit.

All students pursuing a bachelor of science degree in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences must complete the two-course Science and Society requirement. A list of
all approved courses, may be found at http://clas.asu.edu/scienceandsociety. At least one of the two courses taken from the list must be upper division. Science and
society courses cannot be used to also fill core general studies requirements such as SB, HU, SQ or SG. Only one of the courses taken for science and society can be used
to fill a major, minor or related fields requirement. At the far right side of the list, you will see which of the three science and society learning goals are filled by
individual courses. When you complete both courses, all three learning goals must be filled in order to complete the requirement. Finally, a grade of C or better must
be earned in order for the course to be used to fill the science and society requirement.
The Asia Studies major, Southeast Asia Track, requires 20 credits or their equivalent in a Southeast Asian Language (ordinarily Vietnamese, Thai, or Indonesian) and 39
credits in content courses (of which at least 24 must be upper division credits, i.e., from courses numbered 300 or above). Many general studies requirements can be
satisfied with course requirements in the major. Students should consult with their academic advisor often to ensure all requirements are met prior to graduation.

Degree offerings in the School of International Letters & Cultures are flexible liberal arts majors. Students must bear in mind that the credits toward the major and minor
can only be accumulated after completion of preparatory language courses. These preparatory courses are not major requirements and do not count toward the hours the
student needs to complete degree requirements. Demonstrated proficiency at the intermediate level is required for enrollment in major requirement courses. Students are
strongly encouraged to contact an academic advisor regarding clarifications on course applicability.
Students majoring in Chinese will notice there is a Flagship track. The Chinese Language Flagship Program is an intensive Chinese language program for advanced level
learners. While there are common requirements between both tracks, there are also differences in the number of credit hours required in track-level courses. Students are
strongly advised to see an academic advisor to discuss these differences. Regardless of which track the student chooses, s/he will graduate with a B.A. in Chinese. The
track denotation will appear on the transcript.

All students who are pursuing a bachelor of arts degree in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences must complete a second language requirement. This requirement has
the student show proficiency in a second, non-English language through the fourth semester of college work, which is usually, although not always, designated as the
202 level. Check with an your advisor for the proficiency level of specific languages. The proficiency courses require students to read, write, and speak the language
selected, and proficiency requires students to earn a grade of C or better. In the case of French, German and Spanish, students may complete an online placement exam.
The exam is found at http://silc.asu.edu/testing/undergraduate/language_placement.
All students pursuing a bachelor of science degree in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences must complete the two-course Science and Society requirement. A list of
all approved courses, may be found at http://clas.asu.edu/scienceandsociety. At least one of the two courses taken from the list must be upper division. Science and
society courses cannot be used to also fill core general studies requirements such as SB, HU, SQ or SG. Only one of the courses taken for science and society can be used
to fill a major, minor or related fields requirement. At the far right side of the list, you will see which of the three science and society learning goals are filled by
individual courses. When you complete both courses, all three learning goals must be filled in order to complete the requirement. Finally, a grade of C or better must
be earned in order for the course to be used to fill the science and society requirement.

Notes:
All students who are pursuing a bachelor of arts degree in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences must complete a second language requirement. This requirement has
the student show proficiency in a second, non-English language through the fourth semester of college work, which is usually, although not always, designated as the
202 level. Check with an your advisor for the proficiency level of specific languages. The proficiency courses require students to read, write, and speak the language
selected, and proficiency requires students to earn a grade of C or better. In the case of French, German and Spanish, students may complete an online placement exam.
The exam is found at http://silc.asu.edu/testing/undergraduate/language_placement.
All students pursuing a bachelor of science degree in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences must complete the two-course Science and Society requirement. A list of
all approved courses, may be found at http://clas.asu.edu/scienceandsociety. At least one of the two courses taken from the list must be upper division. Science and
society courses cannot be used to also fill core general studies requirements such as SB, HU, SQ or SG. Only one of the courses taken for science and society can be used
to fill a major, minor or related fields requirement. At the far right side of the list, you will see which of the three science and society learning goals are filled by
individual courses. When you complete both courses, all three learning goals must be filled in order to complete the requirement. Finally, a grade of C or better must
be earned in order for the course to be used to fill the science and society requirement.

Notes:
All students who are pursuing a bachelor of arts degree in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences must complete a second language requirement. This requirement has
the student show proficiency in a second, non-English language through the fourth semester of college work, which is usually, although not always, designated as the
202 level. Check with an your advisor for the proficiency level of specific languages. The proficiency courses require students to read, write, and speak the language
selected, and proficiency requires students to earn a grade of C or better. In the case of French, German and Spanish, students may complete an online placement exam.
The exam is found at http://silc.asu.edu/testing/undergraduate/language_placement.
All students pursuing a bachelor of science degree in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences must complete the two-course Science and Society requirement. A list of
all approved courses, may be found at http://clas.asu.edu/scienceandsociety. At least one of the two courses taken from the list must be upper division. Science and
society courses cannot be used to also fill core general studies requirements such as SB, HU, SQ or SG. Only one of the courses taken for science and society can be used
to fill a major, minor or related fields requirement. At the far right side of the list, you will see which of the three science and society learning goals are filled by
individual courses. When you complete both courses, all three learning goals must be filled in order to complete the requirement. Finally, a grade of C or better must
be earned in order for the course to be used to fill the science and society requirement.
Degree offerings in the School of International Letters & Cultures are flexible liberal arts majors. Students must bear in mind that the credits toward the major and minor
can only be accumulated after completion of preparatory language courses. These preparatory courses are not major requirements and do not count toward the hours the
student needs to complete degree requirements. Demonstrated proficiency at the intermediate level is required for enrollment in major requirement courses. Students are
strongly encouraged to contact an academic advisor regarding clarifications on course applicability.

Notes:
All students who are pursuing a bachelor of arts degree in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences must complete a second language requirement. This requirement has
the student show proficiency in a second, non-English language through the fourth semester of college work, which is usually, although not always, designated as the
202 level. Check with an your advisor for the proficiency level of specific languages. The proficiency courses require students to read, write, and speak the language
selected, and proficiency requires students to earn a grade of C or better. In the case of French, German and Spanish, students may complete an online placement exam.
The exam is found at http://silc.asu.edu/testing/undergraduate/language_placement.
All students pursuing a bachelor of science degree in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences must complete the two-course Science and Society requirement. A list of
all approved courses, may be found at http://clas.asu.edu/scienceandsociety. At least one of the two courses taken from the list must be upper division. Science and
society courses cannot be used to also fill core general studies requirements such as SB, HU, SQ or SG. Only one of the courses taken for science and society can be used
to fill a major, minor or related fields requirement. At the far right side of the list, you will see which of the three science and society learning goals are filled by
individual courses. When you complete both courses, all three learning goals must be filled in order to complete the requirement. Finally, a grade of C or better must
be earned in order for the course to be used to fill the science and society requirement.
Students will choose either a Latin Emphasis or a Greek Emphasis. Students should work with their advisor to determine which language courses to enroll in each
semester. Students must maintain a 3.0 GPA in chosen target language courses.
Degree offerings in the School of International Letters & Cultures are flexible liberal arts majors. Students must bear in mind that the credits toward the major and minor
can only be accumulated after completion of preparatory language courses. These preparatory courses are not major requirements and do not count toward the hours the
student needs to complete degree requirements. Demonstrated proficiency at the intermediate level is required for enrollment in major requirement courses. Students are
strongly encouraged to contact an academic advisor regarding clarifications on course applicability.

Notes:
All students who are pursuing a bachelor of arts degree in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences must complete a second language requirement. This requirement has
the student show proficiency in a second, non-English language through the fourth semester of college work, which is usually, although not always, designated as the
202 level. Check with an your advisor for the proficiency level of specific languages. The proficiency courses require students to read, write, and speak the language
selected, and proficiency requires students to earn a grade of C or better. In the case of French, German and Spanish, students may complete an online placement exam.
The exam is found at http://silc.asu.edu/testing/undergraduate/language_placement.
All students pursuing a bachelor of science degree in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences must complete the two-course Science and Society requirement. A list of
all approved courses, may be found at http://clas.asu.edu/scienceandsociety. At least one of the two courses taken from the list must be upper division. Science and
society courses cannot be used to also fill core general studies requirements such as SB, HU, SQ or SG. Only one of the courses taken for science and society can be used
to fill a major, minor or related fields requirement. At the far right side of the list, you will see which of the three science and society learning goals are filled by
individual courses. When you complete both courses, all three learning goals must be filled in order to complete the requirement. Finally, a grade of C or better must
be earned in order for the course to be used to fill the science and society requirement.

Notes:
All students who are pursuing a bachelor of arts degree in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences must complete a second language requirement. This requirement has
the student show proficiency in a second, non-English language through the fourth semester of college work, which is usually, although not always, designated as the
202 level. Check with an your advisor for the proficiency level of specific languages. The proficiency courses require students to read, write, and speak the language
selected, and proficiency requires students to earn a grade of C or better. In the case of French, German and Spanish, students may complete an online placement exam.
The exam is found at http://silc.asu.edu/testing/undergraduate/language_placement.
All students pursuing a bachelor of science degree in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences must complete the two-course Science and Society requirement. A list of
all approved courses, may be found at http://clas.asu.edu/scienceandsociety. At least one of the two courses taken from the list must be upper division. Science and
society courses cannot be used to also fill core general studies requirements such as SB, HU, SQ or SG. Only one of the courses taken for science and society can be used
to fill a major, minor or related fields requirement. At the far right side of the list, you will see which of the three science and society learning goals are filled by
individual courses. When you complete both courses, all three learning goals must be filled in order to complete the requirement. Finally, a grade of C or better must
be earned in order for the course to be used to fill the science and society requirement.
For a detailed list of courses applicable to the major (i.e. additional, depth, advanced requirements and related field coursework), please refer to the following website:

The exam is found at http://silc.asu.edu/testing/undergraduate/language_placement.
All students pursuing a bachelor of science degree in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences must complete the two-course Science and Society requirement. A list of
all approved courses, may be found at http://clas.asu.edu/scienceandsociety. At least one of the two courses taken from the list must be upper division. Science and
society courses cannot be used to also fill core general studies requirements such as SB, HU, SQ or SG. Only one of the courses taken for science and society can be used
to fill a major, minor or related fields requirement. At the far right side of the list, you will see which of the three science and society learning goals are filled by
individual courses. When you complete both courses, all three learning goals must be filled in order to complete the requirement. Finally, a grade of C or better must
be earned in order for the course to be used to fill the science and society requirement.

all approved courses, may be found at http://clas.asu.edu/scienceandsociety. At least one of the two courses taken from the list must be upper division. Science and
society courses cannot be used to also fill core general studies requirements such as SB, HU, SQ or SG. Only one of the courses taken for science and society can be used
to fill a major, minor or related fields requirement. At the far right side of the list, you will see which of the three science and society learning goals are filled by
individual courses. When you complete both courses, all three learning goals must be filled in order to complete the requirement. Finally, a grade of C or better must

strongly encouraged to contact an academic advisor regarding clarifications on course applicability.
Students majoring in Spanish will choose between tracks in either Literature and Culture or Linguistics. Students should make a decision after the completion of SPA
325 and/or SPA 412. While there are common requirements between both tracks, there are also differences in the number of credit hours required in track-level courses.
Students are strongly advised to see an academic advisor to discuss these differences. Before meeting with an academic advisor students should consult their D.A.R.S.
report to become acquainted with the differences in track-level requirements. Regardless of which track the student chooses, s/he will graduate with a B.A. in Spanish.
The track denotation will appear on the transcript.

Curriculum Check Sheet
Note: ASU does not regard the AAS-to-BAS as a traditional transfer degree, so special
provisions apply:
[a] The AAS degree holder (the student) will be admitted only to the BAS program
specified, e.g. Health Sciences. Only those students with a regionally accredited AAS
from an approved (articulated) Health/Health Technology program are eligible for this
degree.
[b] The institution from which the student received his/her AAS degree must be
regionally accredited. A foreign institution must be approved and recognized as a postsecondary institution by the Ministry of Education or other governmental authorities.
[c] All courses applied toward completion of the AAS must have been completed with a
grade of C or higher. ASU will not accept courses with a grade of D.
[d] A block of up to 60 credit hours will be accepted for transfer with the completed AAS
from an approved (articulated) Health/Health Technology program. Students must
confirm with the institution granting the AAS that it has an articulation agreement with
ASU in place for the BAS in Health Science.
[e] A minimum of 60 credit hours for the BAS degree must be completed at ASU. If the
AAS degree is earned with fewer than 60 credit hours, the student must complete
additional credit hours at ASU, so that the total credit hours of the AAS and BAS degrees
are at least 120.
[e] After admission to ASU, if a student wishes to transfer out of the BAS program into
another program at ASU, the agreement to accept a block of up to 60 transfer credit
hours from the AAS degree shall be void and no longer in effect. The student’s transcript
will be evaluated course-by-course and only transferrable courses will be accepted.

Major Map: Applied Science –
Bachelor of Applied Science (B.A.S.)

College of Technology and Innovation │ Catalog Year: 2011-2012

The B.A.S. program is a transfer pathway specifically for students who have earned community college Associate of
Applied Science (A.A.S.) degrees. The goal of the program is to provide students with management, leadership, critical
thinking, and communication skills, along with significant work in a professional specialization. Students must have
completed an Associate of Applied Science (A.A.S.) degree to be eligible for this program. AA and AS students are not
eligible for this program.
Program Requirements
Students complete a relevant A.A.S. through a community college and transfer 60 lower division credit hours. The BAS
is a 60 credit hour upper division program divided into four categories.
General Studies Completion Curriculum (19 semester hours):
The BAS curriculum builds on the general education content of the AAS. ASU general studies requirements will
be completed with courses in these areas through upper division coursework:
Mathematical Studies (MA)
3 credit hours
Lab Science (SQ)
4 credit hours
Literacy & Critical Inquiry (L)
3 credit hours
Humanities, Fine Arts, and Design (HU) 3 credit hours
Social and Behavioral Sciences (SB)
3 credit hours
One additional HU or SB
3 credit hours
Additionally, students must complete the general studies awareness requirements either through previously taken
transfer work or by combining with the general studies requirements from above (L, HU, SB):
Cultural Diversity in the US (C)
3 credit hours
Global Awareness (G)
3 credit hours
3 credit hours
Historical Awareness (H)
In consultation with an advisor, students select courses from the ASU general studies list that contribute to the
overall curriculum and meet degree requirements.
B.A.S. Core Curriculum (15 semester hours minimum):
The BAS core curriculum is focused on management and organization, professional communication, statistical
processes, and computer competency. These are a set standard of courses required by the selected concentration.
Concentrations (20 semester hours minimum):
20 semester hours of specialization courses
Assignable Credit (6 semester hours):
These are traditional electives selected in consultation with an advisor to enhance the curriculum. Assignable
credit also can be used to strengthen math/science capabilities or computer skills.
