science courses, depending on the major, these requirements will normally total 120 hours, not including the physical education requirement. Specific graduation requirements for undergraduate programs in the Katherine Reese Pamplin College of Arts and Sciences, the College of Education, and the College of Business Administration are found in the "Undergraduate Programs" section of this catalog (page 69).
Application for Graduation: The application must be completed and filed with the registrar no later than the mid-term date of the semester preceding the final semester of course work. Students must be approved formally for graduation by the faculty.

Graduation Exercises: Degrees are conferred formally at the close of the spring semester (in May) and at the close of the fall semester (in December). Students who complete all requirements for the degree by the end of spring semester receive degrees in May. Students who complete all requirements for the degree by the end of the summer term or fall semester receive degrees in December. Degree candidates are encouraged to attend graduation exercises. However, if they are unable to do so, they are required to notify the Registrar's Office in writing.

Payment of Financial Obligations: No student will be permitted to graduate if he or she is in default on any payment due to the university.

Additional Degrees: Normally, two identical degrees are not awarded. However, a student may receive the appropriate degree of any other program by completing the additional requirements of that program and earning at least 30 hours of resident credit (20 hours for the associate degree) in excess of the requirement for the original degree.

Core Curriculum: The core curriculum was developed by the University System of Georgia for the purpose of facilitating the education of students as they pursue baccalaureate degrees within and among the units of the University System. It includes 60 hours of lower level courses that would normally be covered in the first half of a baccalaureate degree program. A student who completes the requirements of the core, or any area of the core, will have the assurance that credit for all of this work can transfer to any other unit of the University System. All candidates for the bachelor's degree at Augusta State University must satisfactorily complete the core curriculum. The list of courses in the core curriculum is presented at the beginning of the Undergraduate Programs section of this catalog (page 69).

Course Requirements: Complete a minimum of 60 hours for the associate degree or 120 hours for the baccalaureate degree (exclusive of credit earned in lower division Physical Education courses) as specified for the candidate's program. There will be a minimum of 39 hours of upper division courses required for students graduating with the baccalaureate degree.

Credit from Other Institutions: See "Residence Requirement and Credit from Other Institutions" (page 35).
