by the committee to sustain the essay's failing score will terminate the review process.
The initial step in the review and the review itself are intended to deal with perceived errors in ratings. The review is not automatically indicated by a student's failure to pass the essay. A review is indicated only when there is substantial question concerning the accuracy of scoring and when the criteria set forth in the first sentence of this section on Review of Essay have been met.

The on-campus review committee will consist of three members, each of whom is an experienced essay rater. A decision by the on-campus review panel to terminate the review is final; this decision cannot be appealed to any other office, except in cases where it is reasonably alleged that an adverse decision was based on discrimination with respect to the student's race, religion, sex, handicap, age, or national origin.

Transient and Co-enrolled Augusta State University Students
An Augusta State University student must be in good standing and must obtain prior approval to enroll in any and all credit courses at any other institution as a transient or co-enrolled student. This prior approval of each course must be obtained from the Augusta State University department or college that offers a course most comparable to the one that will be taken elsewhere. A transient student is defined as a degree candidate at Augusta State University who is granted the privilege of temporary registration at another institution and will not be enrolled at Augusta State during that period of temporary registration. A co-enrolled student is defined as a degree candidate at Augusta State University who is granted the privilege of enrolling at both Augusta State and another during a semester.

A student who has attempted a course at Augusta State University and received a penalty grade in that course may not take the course at another institution and transfer it back to Augusta State University. (Penalty grades include F's, and WF's in all courses, and D's, F's and WF's in English 1101, English 1102, and major and minor courses.) A statement granting permission to attend another accredited institution will be provided by the Augusta State University Registrar after department or college approval has been obtained.
