Degree Requirements in Effect at Candidacy for Graduation: A candidate for graduation is subject to requirements in effect at the time of initial enrollment; however, changes may have been made while the student is enrolled. The changes in requirements shall be implemented so as to minimize the problems of transition for currently enrolled students; but, since some changes are considered to be improvements, the new requirements may apply. Exceptions may be made by the department chairperson in conjunction with the advisor, appropriate department faculty, and, as necessary, the dean.

A student who is not enrolled for two or more consecutive years or who transfers for two or more semesters to another institution will be required to complete a new application for graduation and will be subject to the requirements for graduation in effect at that time; or if readmitted, will be subject to the requirements in effect at the time of readmission.

English 1101 and 1102, When to Enroll: (a) Students must enroll in English 1101 no later than the first semester they register following completion of 20 hours of Augusta State University residence/transfer credit. (b) Students must continue to register for English 1101 each successive semester until they have completed the course with a grade of "C" or better. (c) Students who complete 1101 must enroll in English 1102 no later than the first semester they register following completion of 30 hours credit. (d) Students must continue to register for English 1102 each successive semester until they have completed the course with a grade of C or better.

Grade Point Average: Achieve an institutional grade point average (see page 25) of at least 2.00 on all work attempted at this university or an academic renewal grade point average of at least 2.00 on all work since the date of academic renewal (if the student is eligible for academic renewal and elects to accept academic renewal).

Graduation Fee: This $25 fee is to be paid to the Business Office at the time the application for graduation is submitted.

Legislative Requirements: An act of the 1975 session of the Georgia legislature provides that all graduates are required to have passed an examination on the History of the United States, the History of Georgia, and on the provisions and principles of the United States Constitution and the Constitution of Georgia. Examinations are administered each semester. No academic credit is given for these examinations. They are scheduled and administered each semester by the Counselling and Testing Center and are posted in Bellevue Hall.

Certain history and political science courses (i.e., HIST 2111, HIST 2112, HIST 3711, POLS 1101, POLS 4101) will satisfy this requirement. The course descriptions identify these courses. The Augusta State University student who fails to pass the examinations must present course credits in the area or areas failed.
