excluded from the institution. An attempt is defined as a semester in which a student receives any grade except "W".

If a student does not complete requirements for an area in twelve semester hours or three semesters, whichever occurs first, the student will be suspended. The student may not be considered for readmission within three years of the suspension.

Prior to suspending a student who has not exited a Learning Support area within the three semester limit, the Department of Learning Support will allow the student to appeal for one additional course. The student must:

* be individually evaluated and determined to have a reasonable chance for success,
* be in an exit level course, and
* have reached the limit on only one Developmental area
If granted the additional course, the student may enroll in only the Learning Support course.

5. No degree credit is earned in Learning Support, though institutional credit is awarded. Time
spent in Learning Support course work is cumulative within the University System, as is the number of attempts per area. Students with transfer credit or credit earned as a certificate student may be granted up to a total of three attempts at an area of Learning Support.

6. The following grade symbols are used in Augusta State University's Learning Support program:
S: satisfactory (passed course work, passed institutional requirement, passed Collegiate
. . Placement Examination [CPE])
IP: insufficient progress (passed course-work, passed institutional requirement, failed CPE)
U: unsatisfactory (failed course work, ineligible to attempt institutional requirement, ineligible
. . to attempt CPE; withdrew after midterm)
W: withdrawal before midterm (not counted as an attempt)
V: audit (volunteer enrollment only)

7. Students enrolled in both Learning Support and credit courses may not withdraw or be
withdrawn from a Learning Support course unless they also withdraw or are withdrawn from all credit courses. All course changes must have advisor approval.

Load-Overload, Academic
 An undergraduate student is considered full-time with enrollment in at least 12 hours per semester and one-half time with enrollment in at least 6 hours per semester. A typical course load for a full-time undergraduate student is 15-17 hours. A student should carefully consider the advisability of taking an overload; he or she should not attempt to do so solely for financial reasons. A student wishing to schedule up to, but no more than, 18 hours may use regular
