X From the Presiden t The mission of Ca li fo rni a Uni versity of Pennsylva ni a is to build the character and ca reers of our stud ents. Whil e building ca reers m ay be ex pected of unj versities, building character may seem less so. But th e rationale for bui lding ch ara cter, as well as ca reers, is best seen in these words by Theod ore Roosevelt: "To educate a person in mind but no t in morals is to educate a menace to society." Since 1852, eager stud ents have sei zed the opportunj ty to deve lo p their character and ca reers here and, in so doing, have improved their li ves and the Li ves of those around them. To advance its ul ti mate mission of building the cha racter and ca ree rs of students, the California University of Pennsylvania Uni versity relies upon co mmitted fa cul ty, President Angelo Armenti, Jr. moti va ted stu dents, challenging programs and excep ti onal fac ilities. We in vite you to mee t our faculty and students, to eva lu ate our academi c prog ram s, and to tour our facilities. Beca use lea rning at Califo rni a Unive rsity is not restri cted to one's academi c majo r, the uni versity ex peri ence here is a broad one, involving many cocurricul ar and ex tracurri cul ar opportunities. Students can select fro m a number of aca demi c mino rs and co ncentrations and fro m an array of stud ent acti vities, ra ngin g from athl etics to honor societies, from Greek o rga nizati ons to se rvice learning, and fro m sco res of student clubs and o rga niza tions. Cal U is a tud ent-centered university that is co mmitted above all to academic excellence and intellectu al ri go r in the contex t of personal and instituti onal integri ty, civi lity and responsibili ty. We prov ide a welco ming, fa mily atm osphere. We are large enough to offer a va riety of p rograms, yet small enoug h to kn ow many stud ents by name. Please excuse o ur d ust as we continue to grow at Cal U. The ex pan sion and renova ti on of H erro n Hall is compl ete, and stud ents, fa cul ty and staff a re enj oy ing thjs state-of-the-art fitness and recreation center. A multi level parking fac ility is ri sin g behi nd Mand erino Library, and we loo k forwa rd to a magnificent new Co nvoca ti on Center on the river's shore. In fa ll 2007 we opened a new residence hall on th e main campus, bringing to six the total number of new student hou sing fa cil ities. The ve ry successful offca mpu s residence co mpl ex, Vulcan Vill age, is located adjacent to Roadman Park on the upper campu s and offers stud ents the option of ga rden-style apartment li ving. These high-qu ali ty res idences reflect our commitment to students and their fa milies. All res idence halls include amenities quite popular with students - air co nditionjn g, pri va te o r semi-private baths, Internet connecti ons, and sprinkler and securi ty systems. We are a Uni versity on the move, and I invite you to visit us.

Adopted by the Council of Trustees of Californ ia Universil:tJ of Pennsylva nia on June 4, 2003. 3 About California University The University lies within the borough of California, a community of approximately 6,000 residents located on the banks of the Monongahela River, less than an hour's drive south of Pittsburgh. It is accessib le via lntersta te 70, Exits 15 (PA 43), 16 (Speers), or 17 (PA 88, Charleroi) or via U.S. 40 (PA 43 or 88). The Mon Va lley Fayette Expressway (PA 43) links California to the federal Interstate Hi ghway System. The University is approximately 30 minutes from Exit 8 (New Stanton) on the Pennsylvania Turnpike, and an hour from Pittsburgh International Ai rport. The main campus consists of 32 buildings situated on 92 acres. An additional 98ac re recreati on complex, George H. Roadman University Park, is loca ted one mile from campus. This complex includes a foo tball stadium, an all-wea ther track, tennis courts, a baseball diamond, a softball diamond, soccer and rugby fields, a cross country course, areas for intramura l sports, and picnic faci lities. Roadman Park is also the si te of an upper-campus student housing complex, Vulcan Village, that is home to more than 760 students w ho live in attractive, furnished suites - most wi th indi vidu al baths, a living room, dining area, completel y furnished kitchen, including dishwasher and mi crowave, and a fullsize washer and dryer. Between 2004 and 2007 the University opened six new residence halls on campus where studen ts live in suites of two or four students, usuall y sha ring a bathroom with no more than one other person. All residence halls are air-conditioned and have state-of-the-art sprinkler systems. The geographic location of the University gives the resident student opportunities to exp lore and pursue a wide variety of activities. Located on the Appalachian Plateau, an area of rolling hills, the University is a short drive from ca mping, hikin g, fishing, hunting, w hite-wa ter rafting, canoeing and skiing. In addition to va ried cultura l acti vities on campus, the student has easy access to the Pittsburgh metropolitan area, located only 35 miles north of the campus. This provides an opportunity to enjoy the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra; the Pittsburgh Ballet; the Civic Light Opera; the David L. La wrence Convention Center; the Pittsburgh Steelers, Pengu ins and Pirates; various museums; and all of the excitemen t and attractions of a major metropolitan area.

Federal Campus-based Aid At California Uni versity, we wa nt to ha ve the results of your 2010-2011 FAFSA by May 1, 2010, fo r you to be considered first-priority for federa l ca mpus-based aid (Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant, Perkins Loan and Federal Work-Study). In order fo r California University to receive the results of your FAFSA by our first-priority deadline, we stron gly recommend that you file your FAFSA as soon as possible, but no later than April 1, 2010, even if you have to use estimated financial info rmation. This w ill all ow the federal government enough time to process your FAFSA and send the results to Californ.j_a University by May 1, 2010. Jf you cannot or do not file your FAFSA by our first-pr'lority deadline, please fil e as soon as you ca n. You w il l sti ll be considered foe the Pell Grant, stud ent loa ns, work-study, etc. PHEAA Sta te Grant In ord er to receive state grant assista nce from PHEAA, students must file their 2010-2011 FAFSA or Renewal FAFSA by May 1, 2010. All students are urged to apply even if the deadline has passed, since late a pplica tions are considered if funds permit. Handling Specia l Circumstances Although the process of determining a stud ent's eligibil.ity for fin ancia l aid is th e sam e for all students, an adju stm ent sometimes ca n be made if a stud ent ha s special circum stances. Specia l circumstances may include a redu cti on in inco me due to loss of empl oy ment, death or disability of a wage ea rner, divorce o r separation, loss of social security benefits, unu sual medical expenses, etc. In additi on, a stud ent w ho does not meet the federal definition of an independent student for financia l aid purposes may be ab le to docu ment those exceptional circum stan ces in ord er to be considered an inde pend ent stud ent. The Financial Aid Office has a chan ge of income info rmation form (CIIF), which should be used when the special circumstances involve a loss of $10,000 or more in income/benefi ts or unreimbursed medical expenses, which exceed 7.5 percent of the famil y's adju sted income. The change of income informati on form for the 2010-11 award yea r will be avai lable starting June 1, 2010, by contacting the Fi nancial Aid Office. Stud ents who want to appeal thei r de pendency status for financial aid purposes should fil e the de pendency appeal form. A student w ho does not meet the federal definitio n of an independ ent student no rm ally must fil e as a depend ent stud ent and include parental information on the FAFSA. Only students with exce ptional circumstances should file the de pend ency appeal fo rm . Unfo rtun ately, parents' unw illingness to help pay for college, not being claimed as an exemption on parents' tax return, or living on your own does not make a student independent for finan cial aid purposes. The depend ency appeal form is ava ilable upon request from the Financial Aid Office. 9 After You Apply FAFSA Results The federa l government will process stud en ts' Free Application fo r Fed e ra l Stud ent Aid (FAFSA) and electronica ll y send th e results to the Fin an cia l Aid Office provid ed studen ts listed Californi a Uni versity of PA as one of the sch ools to receive the results of their FAFSA. Students should receive a paper stud ent a id report (SAR) in the mail app roximately 7-10 days after the fe dera l processor receives their FAFSA. Stud ents should review the SAR to see if any co rrections a re necessary. Otherwise, stud ents can keep the SAR fo r their record s. When stud ents apply for federal studen t ajd, the informa ti on reported on the FAFSA is used in a form ul a approved by Congress. This federa l fo rmu la d ete rmines a stud ent' s expected fa mil y contributi on (EFC), the amount the family (stud ent and parents, if applicable) is expected to contribute towa rd the stud ent' s edu ca tion. The bas ic e lements included in determirung th e EFC are: • Contribution from the pa rents' income and assets; • Contribution from the stud ent's income a nd assets; • Number of members in the house ho ld; and • Number of family members enrolled at least half-time in coll ege. To d etermine eligibility for other fe d era l aid, a student's EFC is used in the fo llowing eq uati on: Cost of Attendance minus Expected Fmnily Contribution (EFC) = Financial Need Stud en ts' demonstrated fin an cia l need will determine whi ch progra ms they qualify for. Even if s tudents have no financial need, they will still qua lify for the unsubsidized fed e ra l Staffo rd Loan and/or Parent Loan for Undergraduate Stud en ts (PLUS) . A stud ent's parent mu st be w illing to a ppl y for the PLUS Loan an d have a sa ti sfacto ry credit histo ry. Verification Each year the U.S. Depa rtment o f Edu cation selects financial aid a ppli ca nts fo r federa l verifi ca tion rev iew. This p rocess requires California University of Pennsylvania to verify the accuracy of d a ta reported by s tud ents on their FA FSA fo rm s. There are severa l possib le reasons tha t a FAFSA record is selected to be verifi ed. Some applications are se lec ted rand omly . Others are ca tego ri zed as ha vin g a hjgh p robability of error (e.g., applica tions on w hjd1 stud ents provided estim ated, no t actu a l, in come tax infor ma tion). Also, some app lica ti ons ma y be selected because of in co mplete d ata o r confli cting information. The e-mail notification or paper stud ent aid report (SAR) fro m the federa l p rocessor will indica te if a stud ent's a pp lication is selected fo r verifi ca tion rev iew. The Financial Aid Office at Cali forn ia University w ill also notify stud ents th at their FAFSA has been se lected to be ve rified and wi ll as k them to submit copies of certain documents they used to complete the ir FAFSA as follows: • A comple te signed copy of both the student's and parents' (if the s tud ent is d epen d ent) U.S. in co me tax returns (thjs includ es an y rela ted 1099 forms and suppor ting sd1edu les); and • A verifica ti on form, w hid1 the Financial N d Office will send the stud en t. (The verifica ti on form is also ava il ab le onli..ne at www.ca lu.edu/financial-aid .) 10 All documents should be sent to the Financial Aid Office fo r p rocess ing. These documents become part of a stud ent's Ca l U fin ancial aid fil e. The informati on on the docum ents submitted is th en compared to the FAFSA informati on provided to us by the federal FAFSA processo r. Fo r many stud ents, the process consists simpl y of a rev iew of the tax returns and the verifi ca tion form they submit. But so metimes fo ll ow-up requests fo r additi onal informati on may be necessa ry. Thjs occurs if inconsistencies a re di scove red w hich mu st be reso lved. When this happens, th e Financia l Aid Office typica lly send s requ ests for additio nal in fo rmation by mail. To ex pedite the ve rifica tion rev iew, stud ents should submit all requested documents to the Financia l Aid Office as soon as possible. Make sure all documents submitted are clea rl y labeled with the stud ent's name and campuswide identifi ca tion number (CWID). Typica ll y, the stud ents selected for ve rifi ca ti on wi ll receive an awa rd packet; however, these awards are tentati ve (estim ate only) pending the co mpl eti on and outco me of verification. If any erro rs are di scovered durin g the ve rifi ca ti on process, the Financia l Aid Offi ce wi ll correct a stud ent's FAFSA. The federal FAFSA processo r w ill send the student a rev ised stud ent aid report (SAR), wh ich w ill refl ect the co rrecti ons we make to the stud ent's FAFSA. If the error(s) changes the amount of your financia l aid, the new awards wi ll be refl ected on the Student Self-Services website at http://sisweb.ca lu. edu . Cost of Attendance Each yea r the University es tablishes a total cost-of- attendance budge t based on a stud ent' s housing status (comm uter, dormito ry o r off-ca mpu s), enro llm ent statu s (full-time o r part-time), and residency status (in-state or out-of-state). The costof-attendance budget represents the total edu ca tional ex penses a stud ent may incur w hile attendin g our Uni ve rsity, and is a critica l element in determinin g a stud ent's eli gibility for federa l Stafford Loa n assista nce. The elements of thi s budget are both direct instituti onal ex penses (tuition/fees and/or Uni versity room/boa rd), as we ll as indirect costs (off-campus housing, books/supplies, and/ o r personal ex penses) not billed by the Un iversity.

Award Notification Cali fornja Unjversity typica ll y starts the award ing process in ea rl y Ap ril of each year. If you are an accepted freshman/new stud ent and we ha ve received the results of your FAFSA by the date we begin our awarding cycle, you can expect to receive your awa rd notification by April 1. Award notification in for mation may also be accessed on the Stud ent Self-Service website at http://sisweb.ca1u. edu . For students who have not been accepted and/or their FAFSA has not been received at the point the award ing process begins, the Financia l Aid Office will send an awa rd notification to th ese students th roughout the yea r as their fil e becomes co mpl ete (acce pted to the University and receipt of FAFSA record). Note: Only acce pted stud ents receive an award notification. Upper-class awa rd notifi ca tions wi ll be sent once we have received the results of your FAFSA and have determ ined that you are making sa ti sfactory academ ic progress fo r finan cial aid purposes (typically starting mjd-May). Satisfactory Academic Progress In order to receive financial aid, students must make satisfactory acade mic progress (SAP) for financial aid purposes as defined by the Financia l Aid Office. Our definition of SAP is different from the Unjversity' s defu1ition of being in good aca demi c standing. Sati sfacto ry aca demic progress (SAP) standards include three elements: 1) maximum tim e frame w ithin wru ch a degree o r ce rtifi ca te mu st be granted, 2) mirumurn cred it-hours ea rned per academjc year, and 3) minimum cumulative grade-point average (GPA). The review of a student' s SAP standing occurs annua ll y at the end of the sp ring semester. A stud ent's SAP standing wi ll be based on hj s/her aca demi c performance during the academi c yea r (fa ll and/or spring semester[s]).

Private Alternative Loans ln addition to the federal loan progra ms, there are also pri va te sources of educati onal loan s. These loans are sponso red by banks, state agencies or private g uaranto rs and are ava ilab le to credit-wo rthy stud ents. Since th ese loans are not subsidized by the federal government, they are usually higher-cost loans (hjg her interest rate) to the bo rrower and should only be co nsidered as a last resort after all other finan cial aid options have been explo red. Most alternati ve loans require a co-signer; however, repay men t of principal and interest ma y be deferred in most cases.

These requirements are broken into fo ur enrollment classifications: full-tim e, three-qu arter-time, half-time an d less-than half-time. The chart below indicates the number of credi ts used to determine a stud ent's enrollment statu s.

Students may use the summer or any sem ester of the acad emi c yea r to elimina te the ir d efi ciency. Students may take course work a t an othe r college or university to resolve the minimum credit-hour de fi cien cy, p rovid ed tha t the credits ea rned at that instituti on a re tra nsferabl e to Ca li fo rni a Uni versity and the student's co llege dean or appointed d esignee has auth ori zed the trans ient course wo rk.

Appea l fo rm s are available in the Fina ncia l Aid Offi ce. The deadline d a te for filin g an appea l is as fo ll ows: Term Deadline Summer 2010 July 1, 2010 Fa ll 2010 Septembe r 30, 2010 Sprin g 2011 Februa ry 15, 2011 Students w ill be offi ciall y notified w ithin seven to 10 d ays a fter filin g the appeal fo rm . 25 Refund/Repayment Policies Refund Policy Stud ents who offi ciall y withdraw from the Uni ve rsity or from specific classes du ring the semester may be eli gible for a refund of a portion of the tuition, fees, roo m and board paid to California Uni versity for that semester. Refunds are based on the offi cial date of withdrawal as recorded by the Academic Reco rd s Office (for additional information see "Withdrawa l from the University" listed in the Academic Policies secti on of the ca talog). Stud ents who do not fo ll ow the official withdrawal procedure but who stop attending classes for all of their courses wi ll be considered to have withdrawn at the SO-percent point of the se mester unl ess attendance is documented after that time. Return of Title IV Funds Formu la Two formu las ex ist for determining the amount of the refund: Ca li fo rni a University's refu nd policy (fo r ad diti onal information see Uni vers ity Refund Policy in Bi lling section) and the federal Return of Title IV Aid fo rmul a. The federal fo rmul a is applicable to any student receiving fe deral aid and w ithdraws from the Uni versity during the first 60 percent of a semester. These stud ents w ill have th eir federal financi al aid (Pell Grants, Supplemental Education Opportu nity Gran ts, ACG and SMART Grants, Perkins Loans, Stafford and Plus Loa ns) adju sted based on the percent of the semeste r completed befo re the withdrawa l. In essence, stud ents wi ll be entitled to retain the sa me percent of the fede ral financial aid received as the percent of the sem ester co mpl eted . Th.is percen t is ca lculated by dividing the number of days in the semester (excl uding breaks of fi ve da ys or longer) into the number of days co mpl eted prior to the withdrawal (excl uding breaks of five days or longe r). There w ill be no adjustment to federal fin an cial aid after the com pletion of at leas t 60 percent of the semester. If any refund remains after the req uired return of Title IV aid, the refund will be used to repa y Cali fornia University fw1ds, state gra nt fund s, and other private sources and the stud ent in proportion to the amount paid by each non- fe deral source, as long as there was no unpaid balance du e at the time of withdrawa l. [f there is an unpaid balance, then all aid sources w ill be re paid before an y refund is paid to the stud ent. Distribution Policy Once the amount of the federa l funds to be retu rned has been calcul ated, the funds wi ll be returned to the a ppropriate program(s) in the fo llow ing priority o rder: • Unsubsidized Stafford Loan • Subsidized Stafford Loans • Perkins Loa ns • PLUS Loa ns • Pell Gra nt • Academic Competitiveness Gra nt (ACG) • SMART Gra nt • TEACH Grant • Supplemental Educational Opportw1ity Grant 26 Repayment of Unearned Financial Aid Ass istance Stud ents who receive a refund of fin an cial aid before withdraw ing from the University may owe a repayment of federal financial ai d fund s received. Stud ents w ill be notified by the Bursa r's Office and will be given 30 days to repay the funds to the University. Stud ents who fai l to return the unearned portion of federa l financial ai d fund s given to them will ha ve a "hold " placed on their University records, thereby preventing them from registering for future se mesters until repay ment is made in full. Maintaining Financial Aid Eligibility - Sa tisfactory Academic Progress Policy Federal regu lati ons require all in stitutions that adm inister Title rv stud ent assistan ce prog rams to monito r the aca demi c progress toward a degree o r certifi ca te of th ose stud ents applying fo r or receiving assistance fro m th ose prog rams. All Ca lifornia University students applying for Title IV federa l ass istance mu st meet the standard s sta ted in thi s policy, regardless of whether o r not they previously received aid. The financial aid programs govern ed by these regul ations are as fo ll ows: • Federal Pell Grant • Federal Supplemental Ed ucati ona l Opportunity Grant (SEOG) • Federa l Academic Competiti veness Grant (ACG) • Federa l TEACH Gran t • Federal SMART Gra nt • Federa l Perkins Loan • Federa l Stafford Loan (Subsidized/Unsubsidized) • Federal PLUS Loan • Federal Work-Study Satisfactory academic progress (SAP) stand ards include three elements: • Maximum time frame w ithin which a degree or certificate mu st be granted; • Minimum credit-hours ea rned per academ ic year; and • Minimum cumulative grade-point average (GPA). Review Period The rev iew of a student's sa ti sfac tory aca demic progress (SAP) standin g occurs annually at the end of the sp ring semes ter. Stud ents' SAP standing w ill be based on their academi c perfor mance during the academi c yea r (summ er, fa ll an d/ or spring semes ter[s]). Typica ll y, students w ho are not making sa tisfac tory aca demi c progress are notifi ed by the end of May. Maxim um Time Frame The maximum time frame is defined as the req uired length of time it will take students to complete their degree. A stud ent wi ll remain eli gible fo r federa l aid up to 150 percent of total attempted credits. For exa mple, if 120 cred its is requ ired to complete a baccalaureate degree, students w ill remain eli gib le fo r fede ral aid if they have attempted less than 180 tota l credits (includin g transfer credi ts) towa rd th at deg ree. 27 Minimum Earned Credit-Hours In orde r to monitor a student's progress toward completing a degree, a measure of ann ual academic progress has been estab lished. The minimum earned cred ithours componen t requires stud ents to successfu lly complete a minimum numbe r of credits per acad e mic year based o n their enrollment status. Studen ts must ea rn the fo llowing number of credi t-hou rs ead1 yea r: Minimum number of credit-hours to maintain financial aid e!igibilihJ- If you are enrolled: Minimum credit-hours earned each year must be: Fu ll Time (12 credi ts or more) 24 Ha lfTime (6-11 credi ts) 12 Less Than H alf Time (5 credits or less) Must complete a!J credits attempted This mart is based on the assumption that the student's enrollment status will remain constant throughout the academic year. However, the total number of cred its a stud en t mu st ea rn eadi year wi ll differ if the student's enrollment status varies each semester. Minimum Cumulative Grade-Point Average Eadi semester the University reviews the grade-point average (GPA) of ead1 s tud ent in order to determine whether the student is maintaining good academic stand ing. The University has established minimum grade-point averages that students mu st maintain in order to adiieve good academic s tand ing. Listed below are the minimum grade-point averages for eadi class leve l: Minimum cumulative grade-point average to maintain financial aid eligibility. Class Year Earned Credits GPA Freshman 0-29 1.75 Sopho mo re 30-59 1.85* Jw1io r 60-89 1.95 Senior 90+ 2.00 ,. Students pursuing an associa te degree must have a 2.00 GPA in o rd er to grad uate. Students who fail to meet minimum acade mi c standard s (requ ired GPA) as defined by the Univers ity wi ll be placed on academic p roba ti on sta tu s for one semeste r. Students are e ligible to receive fin ancia l a id during the probation semeste r(s). At the end of the probation semester(s), a student must: • Achieve the req ui red minimum grad e-point average (stud ent is removed from academic proba tion ); or • Adiieve at least a 2.0 grade-po int average during the p robationary semes ter (if this requirement is met, the stud ent will continu e on academic probation). Academic Suspension Students who are academica!Jy dismissed a re considered ineligible fo r Title IV federal aid. However, students w ho are academica!Jy dismissed and are a pproved for readmission (through the University's PASS program on ly) w ill 28 be pl aced on finan cial a id p roba ti on. During fi na ncia l aid p roba ti on, stu dents a re eli gibl e to receive Titl e IV fed eral aid (see Fin an cia l Aid P roba ti on secti on for additi ona l info rma ti o n). Special Grades 1 (Incomplete): An in compl ete grad e d oes not ea rn credit or infl uence th e gra d e-point average in the semeste r in w hid1 the course work was taken.

Students follow the provisions of the catalog that are in effect at the time of their ini ti al enrollment. Students who have interrupted their edu ca ti on for mo re than one year are subject to the provisions of the ca talog that are current at the time of their readmission to the University. The University reserves the right to change policies, curriculum requirements and other provisions as needed. Academic Advising Faculty ad vise rs are available to assist stud ents in planning their aca demic programs, but stud ents have the responsibili ty fo r mee ting all requirements fo r their degrees. Stud ents ar e urged to take ad vantage of the ad visory and consultation services avai lable at the Uni versity. Students should feel free to consult with professo rs, academi c advisers, department chairpersons, dean s, staff of the Schedu lin g Center and the provost. All of these University representatives maintain regu lar office hours for student consultations. Semester System Ca li fo rnia University operates on a semester system, with fall and spring se mesters of approxima tely 16 weeks (including a fina l examination week). In add ition, a su mmer term (typically including a 10-week session and two fi veweek sessions) runs from June to August, wi th special sessions held in May and Augus t. Course Numbering System Courses numbered 100 to 499 are undergrad uate courses. Courses numbered 500 and above are gra du ate-level courses. In ce rtain circumstances, undergraduate students are all owed to take gra du ate-level courses for either und ergraduate or fo r grad uate credit. Courses are genera ll y numbered in the following way: Course Numbers Level 100-199 Freshman 200-299 Sophomore 300 - 399 Juni or 400-499 Seni or Credits Cred it for course wo rk is reco rded in credit-hours. For most courses, one credithour represents one class meeting per week. For labora tory classes, the ratio may differ from one de partment to another, but usually two or three hours of labo ratory work are worth one credit-hour. A full -time undergraduate student is one who is taking 12 o r more credits. A stud ent taking fewer than 12 credits is considered a part-time student. Only registered course work in a given term is coun ted toward a studen t's full- or part-time status for that term. The work that a stud ent mi ght need to do for an inco mplete from a previous term will not count towa rd a stud ent's full- o r part-time statu s fo r the current term. A student ex pecting to progress from one class to the next on an annual basis and graduate 41 in fo ur years should co mpl ete an average of 30 cred its per yea r, o r 15 credits per se meste r. Grading System Ca li fornia University of Pennsylvania uses the fo ll owing grading system for all courses: Grade Quality Points per Credit Interpretation A 4 Superior Atta inment A- 3.67 B+ 3.33 B 3 B- 2.67 C+ 2.33 Above Average C 2 C- 1.67 Average D 1 Below Average F 0 Fa ilure AU Not calcul a ted I Audit ot calcul a ted Incompl ete IF p 0 Not calcul ated Passing w Not calcul a ted Official Wi thdrawa l wx uw Not ca lcul a ted Administrative Withd rawa l Not calcul a ted Unofficia l Withdrawa l incompl ete Failure Quality-Point or Grade-Point Average To ca lculate a gra d e-point average (GPA), div id e the total number of qu a lity po ints earned in regul a r co urses at this University by the to ta l number of grad ed cred it-h ours (GHR) . In computing the GPA, the fo llowing courses and credits are not incl uded : courses and credits transferred from other ins tituti ons, advanced placement courses, cou rses passed by exa mina ti on, courses in whid1 a P grade was assigned, CLEP credits, credits granted for military se rvi ce, or o the r credits earned throu gh prior learning assessment (PLA). If a stud ent repea ts a course, only the repeat grade is cow1ted. Although developmental cou rses do not count toward gra du a tion, the credits ea rned in them a re used in determining a s tudent' s GPA. Appealing a Grade or Other Academic Decisions University d ecisions a re based upon applicable po licies, rational procedures and sound d ecis ion-m aking principles. Co ncerning a stud ent's grad e, it must be understood that it is not the policy of the admi nistra tion to ci1ange a properl y assigned grade - that is, one based upon recorded grades for qui zzes, exa ms, assignments, projects and other grad e cri teria as indicated on th e course syll abus or outline. Howeve r, w hen a student all eges vio lations of sound aca d emic gra ding procedures, the Uni ve rsity admini stration and facu lty m utu all y support 42 a stud ent appea l procedure th at gives both the stud ent and the faculty member a fair process to substantiate and/o r refute those allegations. In appea ling a g rade, a studen t should first contact the fac ulty member w ho issued that grade to di scuss th e reason fo r the grade. If the stud ent is not sa ti sfied with the faculty mem ber' s ex plan ation, the student should then contact the faculty member's department chairperson. Thi s contact mu st be in writing and mu st be fil ed with the chairperson within 30 working d ays after the beginning of the fa ll o r spring se mester fo ll owing the term in which the grad e in questi on was given. The chairperson shall notify in writing the stud ent and faculty member of his/he r findin g and decision wi th in 15 working days of his/her receipt of the appea l from the stud ent. If accord is not reached th rough the chairperson, the student may then appea l to the college dean. Such an appea l must be in w riting and mu st be fil ed with the dean within 15 working da ys from the date of the final written determination of the chairperson. The dean shall notify in writing the student and facu lty member of hi s/her findin gs and decisio n within 15 working days of hi s/her receipt of the appea l fro m the stud ent. The final source of appea l is the provost. This fina l step should be taken onl y if there is no possibility for resolution at an ea rlier stage, and onl y if the stud ent is conv inced that arbitrary and/or capricio us sta11dard s were app lied. The appea l to the provost mu st be in writing and mu st be fil ed with the provost within 15 working days from the date of the fi nal wr itten deter min ation of the dean. The provost shall review the matter and take acti on as necessa ry to provid e equity in the situation. ln the case of other academ ic decisions, the stud ent should fo ll ow the sa me appeal procedure insofa r as possible. ln matters relating to stud ent conduct and discipline, the vice president for student deve lopment has auth ori ty to revi ew stud ent appeals. Ln matters relating to financial aid, see the Financial Aid section in thi s ca talog; in matters relating to teacher cer tifi ca ti on, see th e relevant section in thi s ca talog; and in matters relating to transfer credits, contact the Ar ti culation and Transfer Office as the first point of contact, and fo ll ow the sa me appea l procedure as listed above. Cheating and Plagiarism: Academic Integrity Truth and honesty are necessa ry prerequi sites for all education, and students who attempt to imp rove th eir g rades or class standing throu gh any form of academic dishonesty may be penali zed by di sciplinary action, ranging from a ve rbal re primand to a fa iling gra de in th e course o r di smi ssa l from the Uni versity. If the situation appears to merit a severe penalty, th e professor w ill refer the matter to the a ppropriate dea n or to the provost. The stud ent may appea l the penalty as outlined above, w ith the Academic Integ ri ty Comm ittee hearing a ppeals above the level of dean. Class Attendance Regul ar class attendance is a prerequi site to successful class perfo rm an ce. Univers ity policy permits class absence for ca use but places an obliga tion for successful completi on of course work on th e student. Faculty members may establi sh their particular policies for absences subject to the fo ll owing University provisions: Class absences are excused fo r officiall y sanction ed Uni versity activities, where the stud ent's attend ance is mandatory an d whi ch have been prea pproved by the appropriate vice president o r designee. University activities appropriate to 43 be considered as an excused absence include, but are not limited to, scheduled NCAA athletic events and aca demi c competitions in which the stud ent is a mandatory participant. Other appropria te situations include military duties, auto accidents, impassable roads, dea th in the immed iate famil y, and/or medi cal emergencies. Verification of such absences may be required by the instru ctor. The student must, in all cases, arrange to make up examina ti ons or oth er work missed because of absence, according to terms and a schedule agreeab le to the faculty member(s) . Except in cases of emergency, it is the students' responsibility to inform professors of the cause of any absence in advance. Stud ents should notify the dean of students concerning lengthy absences du e to illness or other ca uses, and appropriate docu mentation is required in such cases. The dean w ill in turn notify the professo rs concerned. The Hea lth Center does not issue medical excuses. Under certain circumstances the H ealth Center w ill noti fy professors about students' absences (o r other failure to fulfill academi c obligations) du e to medical conditions; on the basis of this notifica tion, indi vidu al professors in tum will determine w hether or not to excu se the absences. Good Academic Standing The University expects a minimum grade-po int ave rage (GPA) of 2.00, and most program s require a minimum GPA of 2.00 in order to gradu ate. Students who achieve the minimum GPA for their class rank as fo llows are in good aca demic standing: Grade-point averages for good academic standing according to a student's class rank: Class Rank Number of Credits GPA 1.75 Freshman (1-29) Sophomore (30-59) 1.85 Junior (60-89) 1.95 Senior (90 or more) 2.00 Those students with a GPA between the class rank minimum and 2.00 will receive an academi c warn in g. Students who do not achi eve the minimum GPA fo r their class ra nk w ill be subject to aca demi c probati on or academic dismi ssa l. Sati sfacto ry aca demic progress is required fo r co ntinued eli gibility for finan cial aid . All earned credits, including tran sfe r credits and o th er advanced standing cred its that ha ve been officially accepted, are co unted in deter mining a stud ent's class rank. All quality hours (QHRS) at California Uni ve rsity are used in determining a stu dent's GPA. Academic Probation Studen ts whose total number of "attempted" credits (A HRS) has reached or exceeded 12 and w hose overall GPA is below the specified minimum for their class rank will be placed on aca demi c probati on . Students on academi c probation mu st agree to satisfy additional req uirements d urin g the probationary semester. 44 Students on acad emi c probati on who: • Atta in the minjmum overall GPA fo r their class rank and sa tisfy othe r requirements w ill be removed from acad emi c p roba ti on; or • Atta in a 2.00 GPA during the proba tionary semes ter a nd satisfy o ther req uire men ts but fai l to attain the mi.njmum ove ra ll GPA fo r their class rank w ill be permitted to return to the Un ive rs ity on continuing acad emi c p roba ti on; o r • Do not a ttain the ove rall GPA fo r the ir cl ass rank and d o not achj eve a 2.00 GPA fo r the p roba ti ona ry semes ter o r fa il to sa ti sfy o ther require ments w ill be di smi ssed from th e Unj versity. Academic Warning Students w hose ove ra ll grade-point ave rage fa lls be low a 2.00 but above the leve l acce ptable fo r their class rank w ill receive an acad emi c wa rning. Acad e mi c wa rnin g w ill permit students to vo lunta ril y utilize the serv ices of the PASS progra m and othe r services offe red by the Offi ce of Student Retention. Academic Dismissal The Uni ve rsity reserves the ri ght to refu se the pri vil ege of furthe r a ttend an ce to stud ents who have fa iled to meet minimum acad emi c require ments. If a stud ent's cu mul a ti ve grad e-point average rema ins below the required minjmum after a p robation ary se mester, the te rm grad e-point average during a proba ti onary se mester is be low 2.00, and the stud ent fajJs to meet o ther require me nts, the stud ent wi ll be di smi ssed fro m the Uni ve rs ity. Incomplete Grades An incompl ete grad e (I) is assigned w hen a professo r is con vinced the stude nt can comp lete o r make up work. Faculty membe rs ma y submit a fin a l grade based on work completed and no t accept late work. H owever, when a ppropri a te ex pl anation and d ocumentati on of an illness are given, p rofesso rs will not pena li ze students if ma keups a re possibl e o r if g radin g on wo rk compl eted is reasonable. Afte r the required wo rk ha s been compl eted, the p rofesso r w ill submjt a cl1an ge of grad e form to the Acad emi c Reco rd s O ffice. The stu dent, howeve r, is responsible fo r contacting the professor rega rding ar ran ge ments tha t should be made to complete the wo rk fo r the co urse. (Stud ents a re not required to registe r fo r the course again.) If the required wor k is not co mpl eted w ithin one calend a r yea r, the in co mple te g rad e w ill be con ve rted to 1-F. Th is con version will occur even if the stud ent has not been enrolled a t the Unjvers ity during thi s ca lend ar year. The 1-F g rade is consid ered in the computation of the stu dent's grade-po int average as an F g rad e. Students who wi sh to have a n ex tension o f the time a ll owed to co mpl ete the work mu st obta in a pprova l from the d ean of their co llege. Gradu a tin g senio rs must resolve thei r inco mpl e te g rades by the last d ay o f classes o f the te rm in w hicll they intend to gradu a te. Otherw ise, these in co mp lete g rad es immedi ately become a n 1-F, and graduation may be correspondingly a ffected . The wo rk that a student needs to do during one term for an In co mple te grade from a prev ious te rm w ill not count towa rd a stud en t's full- or pa rt-tim e sta tu s fo r the current term. 45 Grade Reports At the end of each semester and summer session, gra de reports are ava il able to students onl ine.

The req uest may be made by co mpleting a fo rm in the Academi c Record s Office o r by w riting a letter to that offi ce indica ting (a) the number of transcripts required, (b) the ty pe of tran scripts required (i.e., und erg radu ate, g radu ate, o r bo th), and (c) the name and address of the person o r instituti on where the transcript should be sent. Transc ripts w ill not be issued to a trurd party w ithout the w ritten co nsent of the stud ent. If a tran sc ript is issued to a stud en t, a notati on to that effect appea rs on the tran scri p t. Tran scripts marked in this manner are so metimes not consid ered offi cial w hen presented to a thi rd party by the studen t. Transcripts are issued as qu.ickly as possible, but in busy peri od s of the aca demi c yea r, there may be some delay. Requ ests should, therefore, be mad e well before the tran script is due else where. No tran script w ill be issued to a stud ent whose finan cial obligations to the Uru ve rsity have not been met in full. Registration Eligibility to Register All stud ents who have been admitted to the Uni ve rsity and w ho are in good academi c, fin an cial and disciplina ry standing are eligible to register. Enrollment and Matriculation Students see king a degree o r credit certifi ca te fro m Ca li fo rnia Uni ve rsity are considered matricu lated stud ents and mu st mee t the g raduation o r completi on reqwrements fo r their declared majo r or p rogram . Ind ividuals w ho enroLI fo r classes but are not seeking a degree or cred it ce rtifica te fro m Cali fo rru a Uru ve rsity are considered non-degree students. on-degree stud ents wishing to matricul ate into a degree or credit certificate program mu st sa tisfy admission reqwrements fo r that program. Regi stration Procedures Registrati on fo r an upcoming semester may be completed during the registrati on peri od s identified and announced each semester. Specific inform ati on and instru ctions fo r registrati on are di stributed th rough coLlege e-mai l announ cements. 46 Registrati on includes academic advising, scheduling courses, and pa yment of tuiti on and fees. Prior to scheduling classes, students should meet with their aca demic adviser to discuss their progress and develop a schedu le for the upcoming semester. Entering a stud ent' s schedule into the University's registration system creates a financia l obliga ti on by the stud ent to the University, and stud ents w ho do not make payment arrangements by the du e date may have their semester schedules ca nceled . Credit Overload During the fall and sp ring semesters, full-time students may register for 18 cred its without special permission. Students wishing to register fo r 19 or more credits mu st obtain written permission from their ad viser and the dean of their college. Only in exceptional circumstan ces will a studen t be all owed to register for more than 21 credits. Additional tuition and fees are charged for all credits in excess of 18. During the summer term, students may register for 6 credi ts in any one session o r 18 credits for the summ er without special permi ssion. Degree-seeking stud ents wishing to register for additi onal credits during the summer term s mu st obtain written perm ission from the dean of their college, and non-degree stud ents wishing to register for additional credits mu st obtain permission from the director of the summer school program. Students are charged tuiti on and fees on a per-credit basis for all courses during the summ er. Admission to a Closed Section A stud ent seekin g admission to a closed section should obtain a schedul e adjustment fo rm and consult wi th the instructor o r chairperso n of the departm ent that offers the course. Admission to a closed section requires the signature of the instructor o r department chairperson and the dean of the college th at offers the cour e. Repeating a Course A stud ent may repea t a course previously taken at Ca lifornia University. In such cases, only the later grade will be counted in the student's GPA. The original grade, howeve r, will remain on the stud ent' s transcript. Some courses may be re pea ted for credit and are exempt from this poli cy. Und ergraduate stud ents will be limited to a max imum total of six repeats. A si ngle course may be repeated for grade imp rovement a maxi mum of three tim es. Auditing a Course Students may audit a course with the understanding that they will receive neither a grade no r credit fo r the course. The course will be listed on the stud ent's tran sc ript without affecting the GPA. Once a course is registered for audit, it ca nnot be converted back to a credit course. Students may register to audit a course acco rding to the following schedule: • 15-week session - within the first 6 weeks • 5-week session - within the first 2 weeks • 10-week session - within the first 4 weeks Audit courses are billed at the sam e rate as courses taken for credit. Audit forms are ava ilable in the Academic Record s Office in Di xon Hall. 47 Credit by Examination/Course Challenges Students may ea rn credi t for a cou rse by pass in g an exa mination rather than taking the course. ln o rd er to d o so, the stu d ent mu st obtain permission from the chairperson of the departm ent that offers the course and the dean. Students must register for the course and pa y tuition and fees for the course. Once a student registers to ch allenge a course, it cannot be conve rted back to a regular course. Students may registe r to ch allenge a course acco rding to the fo llow ing schedul e: • 15-week session - within the first 6 weeks • 5-week sess ion - within the first 2 weeks • 10 week session - wi thin the first 4 weeks Only g rad es of P (Pass) or F (Fa il ) w ill be recorded, and the course wi ll be furth er id entifi ed on the stud ent's transc ript by the symbol CE. A passing grade does not affect the GPA; however, a failing grade w ill lowe r the GPA. Ea rned credits w ill count toward g radu a ti on. Course challenge form s may be obtained in the Acade mi c Record s Office in Dixon Hall. Schedule Adj ustments (Add/Drop) Class sd1edul es m ay be chan ged d uring the add/drop period and are governed by the following regu lations: • Prior to mak ing schedule adjustments, students shou ld consult with their academi c ad vise r to di scuss how the adj ustm ent will affect the ir academic progress. • Courses ma y be ad ded durin g the firs t week of dasses during the fall and sp ring semeste rs and during the first day of a summer te rm. Adding a cou rse may require the s ignature of th e instru ctor, d epartment chairperso n and/or college d ean. • For the fa ll and spring sem esters, stud ents will be permitted to wi thdraw fro m a course and receive a gra d e of "W" up to the end of the tenth week of the semeste r. After the 10th week of the se mester and through the last day of classes, stud ents who withdraw w ill receive a g rade consis tent with wuversity po licy w hid1 w ill be de termin ed by the instru ctor. o student is permitted to drop a course during the last two weeks of a five-week summer term, or during the last three weeks of a 10-week summer term . • Ceasing to attend class does not constitute official withdrawal. • Students must officially drop a course. Leaving a course without officiall y dropping it m ay result in the assignment of an F g rade by the professor. If the professor does not ass ign a gra de, the designation of UW (unauthorized w ithdra wal) w ill be assigned by the registra r. • Students w ho drop to less than full-time (less than 12 credi ts) or to less than half-time (less than 6 credi ts) should contact the Financial Aid Office pri or to compl eting the drop. Withdrawal from the University An undergraduate stu d ent w ho decid es to withdraw fro m the Uni ve rsity during any acade mic term, regardless of the reason, must contact the Academic Record s Office immediately. ALI withdrawa ls ar e gove rned by the fo ll owing regu lations: 48 • An honorable dismissal is granted to a stud ent w ho withdraws from the University in the official manner, has met all fin ancial ob liga tions to the Uni ve rsity, and has been properl y cleared by the registrar. • If the stud ent withd raws officially before the end of the 10th week of the semester, a W grade is reco rd ed fo r each cou rse scheduled. AW grade carries no academic penalty and is not counted in the student's GPA. For an official withdrawal fro m a five-week session, W grades w ill be reco rd ed during the first two weeks only. • A stud ent who w ithdra ws officia ll y from the University after the end of the 10th week of a se mester wi ll receive a grade in all cou rses per University policy. • Leaving the University w ithou t no tifying the Academic Reco rds Office and makin g an official withdrawal may result in au tomati c failure for all courses scheduled . It also makes the stud ent ineligible fo r refw1d of tuition and fees and may affect academic status and finan cial aid . Improper withdrawa ls wil l be classified as unauthorized withdrawal and the designati on UW used fo r all registered courses, if an other grade has not already been assigned by the professor. • Students planning on w ithdra wing from the University should consult with the Financial Aid Office prior to completing the withdrawa l process. Administrative Withdrawals The University administrati on has the authority to withdraw a student from the University and to revoke that stud ent's registration at any tim e fo r the fo ll owing reasons: • Registrati on in violation of University regul ati ons (e.g., academic ineli gibility to register ); • Fai lu re to comply with academic requirements (e.g., unsatisfactory class attend ance, violati on of the lea rning contract for stud ents on academic probation, etc. ); • Fai lure to pay University tuition and fees by the du e date; • Disciplinary suspension or dismi ssa l for the remainder of an aca demi c term o r longer; • Severe psychological or health problems such that the student cannot be permitted to contin ue in attend an ce;or • Other reasons deemed appropriate by the proper administrative officer. A grade WX is record ed for administrative withdrawa ls. The grade of WX is not computed in the stud ent's g rade-point average and, therefore, involves no aca demi c penalty. The registrar must authorize the reco rding of this g rade. If a stud ent registers in violati on of the aca demic eligibility rule, the registration is declared invalid, the tuition and fees paid by the student are refunded in full, and no grades are reco rded. In other cases of administrative withdrawal, the date of the withdrawal and the reason for the withdrawa l are used to determine the grade to be recorded and the amount of tuition and fees to be assessed or ca nceled. In most cases, the regu lar tuiti on and fee assessment and refund policies of the Uni ve rsity preva il. For ad ministra tive withdrawa ls during the first six weeks of a se mester or two weeks 49 in a fi ve-week summer session, the g rad e of WX is recorded fo r all courses on a stud ent's schedule. No o ther grades, such as in complete, are assigned. The registrar has the authority to antedate an administrati ve withdra wa l if circum stances warrant such action. Disci plinary suspensions o r di smi ssals are initiated by the a pp ropriate autho rity in the Office of Stud ent Development and w ritten noti fica ti on is sent to the Aca demi c Reco rd s Offi ce, w hi ch can cels the stud ent's registration and notifi es other admini strati ve offi ces and faculty members as necessa ry. If faculty members ha ve reason to inquire about a speci fi c case of administrati ve withdrawa l, they should consult the registrar o r the p rovos t. In certain cases, the stud ent's right to confid enti ali ty may not perm it full d isclosure of the circum stances. Readmission to the University Students who w ish to return after an absence of three consecuti ve terms and are in good standing with the Uni versity must a pply fo r readmi ssion to the dean of the undergra du ate college in which they will be enrolled fo llowing their readmi ssion. ln cases of acad emi c dismi ssa l, readmission to the Uni versity is not a uto mati c. Students who have been dismi ssed for unsa tisfactory academic perfo rmance w ill be considered for readmi ssio n onl y if they have satisfi ed the conditi ons fo r readmission that were sti pul ated at the time of their dismissal. Students who have been academi cally di smissed must appl y fo r readm ission th rough the Office of Student Retention. Any stud ent wh o has been aca demically di smissed w ill be denied Title IV finan cial assistan ce (federal g rants, loans and stud ent employ ment). Therefore, if readmitted, stud ents mu st attend without the benefit of Title rv fin ancial aid until the requi red minimum GPA fo r their class rank and/or the completi on of the minimum credit-hour stand ard have been achieved . Exceptions may be considered fo r students on fin ancial aid probatio n o r w ho have fil ed a sa tisfactory academic progress (SAP) appeal (please refer to the Satisfacto ry Academi c Prog ress poli cy statement issued by the Offi ce of Financial Aid). ln the case of di sciplinary suspensions or di smi ssals, students mu st sa ti sfy the conditi ons fo r readmission that we re stipul ated at the tim e of their dismissal and receive permi ssion from the vice president fo r stud ent development to return to the Unive rsity. Appli ca ti ons fo r readmi ssion should be submitted at least one week before the registrati on date fo r the term in w hich the stud ent desires to enroll. Fo rm er students will no t be readmitted to the Uni versity until all past indebtedness has been paid . Academic Forgiveness Policy Academi c fo rgiveness is intend ed fo r the stud ent w ho is returning to the Uni versity with a grade-point defi ciency and who has not been enrolled at Cal iforni a Uni versity of Pennsylvani a for fo ur consecuti ve academic yea rs. The student ma y req uest academ ic fo rgiveness fo r up to two complete semesters of academi c course work. Academi c fo rgiveness aUows fo r courses successfull y completed with a D or better to retain academic credit; howeve r, the grade points will be removed from calculation of g rade-point ave rage. Awarding of 50 aca demi c forgive ness does not absolve the stud ent from completion of specific academic progra m requirements, for example, gra des of C or better in courses for an educati on major. orm ally, no gra des wilJ be removed from the permanent record. Academic forgiveness wi ll be gran ted only once for any stud ent, and forgive ness ex tended by California University of Pennsylvani a may no t be recogn ized by other academic institutions to w hi ch the student may transfer. The Uni versity registrar wi ll give consideration fo r academic forgiveness when a signed written requ est is received. All stud ents req uesting academi c forgive ness must ea rn at least a 2.0 GPA durin g the first 12 credit-ho urs of course work attempted at Ca li forn ia Uni vers ity of Pennsylva ni a after readmission. College-Level Examination Progra m (CLEP) and DANTES Subject Standardized Tests (DSST) The Uni vers ity offers the oppo rtunity to earn un dergrad uate credi t throu gh the Co lJege-Level Examin ati on Program (CLEP) and DANTES Subjec t Stand ardi zed Tests (DSST). CLEP is comprised of general and subject examinations. The general exa min ati ons are a series of tests in fo ur separate areas: English compos ition, natural sciences, mathemati cs, hum anities and socia l sciences/history. A stud ent may earn up to thirty (30) credits by passing the appropria te tes ts in these subject areas. The subjec t exa minati o ns comprehe nsively test a sin gle subject, sud, as genera l psychology, mi croeconomi cs, etc. A stud en t w ho passes one of these examina ti ons is awarded credi t for a co mparab le co urse at the University. DSST offers over 30 d iffere nt exam inations on a single subject, sud, as Principles of Statistics and Funda mentals of College Algebra. A stud ent w ho passes one of these exa minati ons is awa rd ed credit fo r a comparable course at the un iversity. CLEP and DSST are adm inistered by the Placemen t-Testing Center. The Southpointe Center offers the CLEP only. There is a one-time fee of $25.00 for eva lu ati on and recording of the examin ation results on a stud ent's transcript. For additional information p lease call 724-938-5779. Undergraduate Credit for Graduate Courses Undergraduate stud ents may enroll in graduate courses for und ergrad uate credit if they meet the necessary req uirements for those co urses. indi vidual departments determine the prereq ui si tes for each course. Graduate sta tus may be a pre req ui site for admission to some courses. Grad uate cred its used to fu lfill und ergrad uate req uirements may no t also be used to fulfill req uirements in a g radu ate progra m. Graduate Credit Load for Seniors Und ergraduates who are in thei r las t term on campus and who are completing or have completed all the req uirements for thei r undergraduate degree may enroll in grad uate classes for gra du ate cred it. They mu st htlfi ll all req uirements for entrance in to Grad uate Sch ool (other than the und ergrad uate degree or teachin g ce rtifi ca ti on) . Transfer Credits Current Ca lifornia Univers ity stud ents who wish to take courses at so me other college or un ive rsity to transfe r back to Ca li fo rni a University, should ge t appro va l to do so from their adv ise r and fro m the dea n of their college at 51 Ca lifo rni a Uni versity before registering for and taking such courses. Stud ents see king to transfe r credits to California Uni versity should note the fo llowing gu idelines and should refer transfer credit qu estions to the Arti cul ati on and Transfe r Eva lu ation Office: • Transfer credits are usuall y determined by their eq ui va lency to Cali fo rnfa Uni ve rsity courses. • Onl y courses in which a grade of C or better is earned will transfer unless a stud ent qu alifies under the Academic Passpo rt poli cy (See Acad emi c Passpo rt Poli cy in the Admissions sechon of thi s ca talog.) • Credits transfer, but grad es and quality points d o not. Transfer credits cann ot raise a stud ent' s GPA; th erefore, do not take re pea t courses at another instituti on. • Courses taken at a communi ty college, the equi va lents of which are des igna ted as upper-l evel courses at Ca li fo rnia, may tran sfer only as electi ves, not as eq ui va lents to co urses offered at Cali fo rni a Uni versity. Dual Majors, Second Majors, Second Degrees and Dual Degrees Cali fo rni a Uni ve rsity grants the fo llowing und ergradu ate degrees: B. A., B.S., B.S. in Educati on, B.S.N., A.S. and A. A.S. (A ll except the last two are fo ur-yea r baccalaureate degrees.) These are referred to below as degree areas. A di stincti on is drawn between the foll ow ing objecti ves and opportuniti es and between the means to achi eve them: (1) d ual major, (2) second majo r, (3) second d egree and (4) du al degree. These oppo rtunities, as ex plained below, are the only ones offered. The Uni ve rsity will, fo r exa mpl e, award onl y one degree fro m any degree area. None of these opportunities should be confused with any certifi ca ti on programs, such as those in Teacher Educati on. • A dual major is the pursuit of two separate baccala urea te majo rs in the sa me degree area simultaneously. These majors may be in a single department o r two departments, and each mu st be record ed in the app ro priate dean's offi ce. Courses from one major area may be used to sa ti sfy requirements in the other majo r. Both majors are reco rd ed on the transcript, but all requirements for ead1 major mu st be sahsfi ed before the degree is conferred, and onl y one degree is conferred. • A second major may be pursued after the completi on of a bacca laurea te degree fro m an y regionall y acc redited institution - including Cali fo rnia Uni ve rsity of Pennsylvania - when the second major mu st be in the sa me degree area as the first. A second major does not lead to a second degree. The p rospecti ve stud ent mu st a pply through the Office of Admissions and register wi th the intention of pursuing a second major. Transfer credits from other schools and prio r credits from Cali fo rni a Uni ve rsity of Pennsylvania may be used to sa ti sfy cour es fo r this second majo r. Beca use a bacca laurea te degree has alread y been ea rn ed, all General Education requirements w ill be co nsidered sa ti sfi ed, but an y courses in the majo r not yet earned mu st be fulfi lled. There is no minimum number of credits necessa ry to obtain thi s second maj or. The completi on of this second major will then be noted on the transcript. All d epartment, college and uni versity stand ard s fo r this majo r mu st be achieved . Note: Students seekin g a second major after graduatin g with a bachelo r' s degree are not eligible fo r finan cial aid as per fed eral Title IV guid elines. 52 • A second degree may be pursued after the co mpleti on of a baccalaurea te degree from any regionally accredited instituti on - including Califo rni a Uni versity of Pennsylvania - w hen the second degree area is different than the first. The prospecti ve stud ent mu st a ppl y thro ugh the Office of Admi ssio ns and register with the intenti on of pursuing a second degree. Tran sfer cred its from o ther scl1ool and prior cred its from Cali fo rni a Uni ve rsity may be used to sa ti sfy courses fo r thi s second degree. Since a bacca la urea te degree has alread y been ea rned, all General Edu ca ti on requirements w ill be co nsidered sa ti sfi ed . All remaining courses in the majo r not yet earned must be fulfilled in orde r to gra nt the second degree. All department, college and uni versity requirements fo r this degree mu st be achieved . Note: The University wi ll not award an associate degree to a student w ho holds a baccalaurea te degree in the sa me area. • A dual degree (bacca lau rea te) is the simu ltaneous pursuit of two degree in differe nt degree areas. Courses from one major area may be used to sa ti sfy requirements in the o ther majo r; however, a minimum of 150 credits mu st be accumulated in o rd er for bo th deg rees to be awa rd ed . A ll de partment, college and uni versity requirements fo r the two deg ree areas mu st be sa ti sfi ed . There will be o ne transcript with both degree areas reco rd ed . Graduation Requirements Student should beco me acqu ainted with the gradu ati on requirements fo r their p rogram of stud y. Students a re responsible fo r meeting all gra duati on requirements and fo r submitting the required fo rms on tim e. Co mpli ance w ith the fo ll owing general poli cies and procedures wi ll help stud ents prepare fo r grad uatio n: The period d urin g whi ch a pplication for grad uati on mu st be made is pos ted throughout campu s and printed in the Cali fo rni a Times. Stud ents mu st a pply fo r gradu ation in the a pp ropriate dea n's office by the deadline. All credentials fo r graduation, incl uding an a pplica ti on for a teacl1ing certificate where app ropriate and transc ripts of credits from o ther institutions, mu st be submitted on tim e. Gradu ati o n may be delayed if a stud ent's reco rd is inco mp lete. • A minimum of 120 semester credits, incl uding the sa ti sfacto ry compl eti on of all required courses, is necessary fo r gradu ati on. Develo pmental courses, ENG 100, DMA 092 and DMA 094, d o no t count toward gradu ati on, th ough the credits earned in them are used to determine class standing and grad e-point average. • Stud ents in all curricul a mu st comp lete a minimum of 30 credits of the last 60 credits at California University of Pennsylvani a. • Ca ndi da tes fo r Team er Educa ti on mu st possess a grade-point average of 3.0 in th eir majo r and overall and must successfull y complete stud ent teacl1ing befo re g radu ati on. An ove rall grade-poi nt ave rage of 2.0 is required in most programs of stu d y. O ther program s ma y requ ire minimum g rades in courses within the majo r. • Al l finan cial obliga ti ons to the Unive rsity mu st be paid in full before gradu ati on can be approved . 53 Conferring of Degrees Degrees are confe rred in Ma y (a t the end of the spring se mester ), in Au gust (at the end of the summer session), and in December (a t the end of the fa ll semester); but Co mmencement is held only tw ice a year, in May (only May g radu ates) and in December (August and December gra duates). Diplomas and offi cial University transcripts record the stu dent's d ate of gra duati on as the month and year in which the degree was conferred . Attend ance at the Commencement exercises is a ppropriate, unl ess unu sual ci rcumstances warrant g radu ati on in absenti a. Permission to gradu ate in absenti a is granted by the Pres ident of the Uni versity, or his designee. Candid ates fo r graduation should contact the President's Office, or hi s designee's offi ce, and request permi ssion to be excused from the Co mmencement ceremony. A graduate of Califo rnia Uni ve rsity of Peru1sylvani a is a member of the class of that calend ar year in w hi ch the deg ree was confe rred . That is, if o ne graduated in May, Aug ust or December of 2001, one is a member of the class of 2001 regardless of the yea r one may have attend ed Commencement. Honors at Graduation Commencement honors are awa rd ed to stud ents in the graduating class who ha ve ea rned 60 credits at Ca li fo rnia Uni versity in a baccal aurea te deg ree prog ram and achi eved the required GPA. Honor GPA Highest Hono rs (Summa Cum Laude) 3.75 to 4.0 High Honors (Magna Cum Laude) 3.50 to 3.74 Honors (Cum Laude) 3.25 to 3.49 Credits, g rades and qu ality points ea rned as part of a prev iously compl eted associa te or first degree are not used to calculate Co mmencement honors designati ons. Dean's List/Semester Honors GPA Honors 3.75 to 4.0 Hi ghest Hono rs 3.50 to 3.74 Hi gh Hono rs 3.25 to 3.49 Honors Honors Convocation The Uni versity recognizes, encourages and reward s aca demic excellence on the part of master's, bachelo r's and associate degree-seeking students by naming Presidenti al Scholars at the annual Honors Con voca ti on in the spring semester. This award is a unique di stinction, separate and apart from Comm encement hono rs. A bad1elor's degree-seeking stud ent designa ted as a Presidential Scholar must ha ve a cumul ati ve GPA of 3.25 in a baccalaurea te program and have co mpleted 60 credits Uunior ) an d 90 credits (seni or), of which at least 30 mu st have been taken at Califo rnia (calculated beyond an associate degree or other first degree, if appli cable, and in the present bachelor's degree p rogram ). An associate 54 degree-seekin g stud ent designated as a Presidential Schol ar mu st have a cumul ati ve GPA of 3.25 at California and have completed 45 credits, all of which must have been taken at this Uni versity. Both fu ll-time and part-time students may, if qualified, be nam ed Presidenti al Scholars. Confidentiality of Records The Uni versity's poli cies on the confi dentiality and di sclosure of stud ent records are based on the Fa mily Ed ucation Ri ghts and Privacy Act of 1974 (Public Law 93-380), as amend ed . I. Introduction Official stud ent records are estab lished and maintain ed in a number of administrati ve offices for a variety of legitimate ed uca tional purposes. In assuming responsibility for the reasonable protection of these stud ent records, the University recogni zes its ob liga ti on to co mpl y with the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act of 1974. Im portant secti ons of thj s federa l law are summ arized below. II.

Each of these divisions is ad ministered by a dean w ho is responsible for the opera tio n of the college or school. In addition, University College, Lifelong Learning and the Evening College, and the Southpointe Center provide specialized progra ms and services to di stin ct stud ent popu lati ons. The College of Education and Human Services The College of Ed ucation and Human Services is co mposed of the departments of Academic Development Services, Communication Disorders, C0Lu1selor Education, Ed uca tional Adm inistration and Leadership, Elemen tary and Ea rl y Chi ldhood Educa ti on, Exercise Science and Sport Studies, Hea lth Science, Second ary Edu ca ti on, Social Work, and Special Education . Teacher ed uca ti on progra ms are offered through the departments of Elementary and Early Chi ldhood Ed ucation, Second ary Ed uca ti on, Special Edu cation and a technology ed ucation program is offe red through the Department of App lied Engineering and Technology in the Eberly College of Science and Technology. The depa rtments of Aca demi c Development Services, Communication Disord ers, Exercise Science and Sport Studies, Health Science, an d Social Work and Gerontology for m the human services co mponent of the college. Counselor Education and Edu ca ti onal Administrati on and Leadership offer programs leadin g to graduate degrees and to elementary and seco nd ary counselor certi fi ca tion, as we ll as principal an d superintend ent letters of eli gibility. Teacher Education Program Ca li fo rni a University has a long and di stin gui shed history of preparing teachers for the schools of the commonwea lth w ith nea rl y 30,000 tead1er edu ca ti on alumni. The College of Ed ucation and Hum an Services has developed and mai ntained a reputation of excellence in the prepa ration of teachers. Beca use of its accred itation by NCATE and the Co mm onwea lth of Pennsylvania and its req uirement of the PRAXIS I (Pre-Professional Ski lls Test) and PRAXIS II (Con tent Knowledge) teacher ce rtifica tion examinations, Ca li forni a's gra du ates are ab le to obtain tead1er certifi ca ti on in most states in the Un ited States. California Uni vers ity has been given a snapshot of where it stand s in comparison to other colleges and un iversities in the co mm onwea lth that prepare teachers. The compa ri son data is based on the number of stu dents who com pleted all the aca demic req uiremen ts of the College of Ed ucation's progra ms in elementary, ea rly childhood, seco nd ary, techn ology and specia l ed uca ti on from September 2007 to August 2008, to taling 318 studen ts. The Educational Testing Service (ETS) released info rm ati on to all teache r preparation institutions rega rding the HEA Title 11 re port. While the data uses a sta tewide cohort for compar isons, ETS plainly no ted, "Within the sa me state, comparisons made between instituti ons are equ all y un su bstantiated beca use each instituti on prepares stud ents for different licenses utilizing different testing req uirements." There a re other fac tors that ha ve an impact on percentages, including the number of stud ents taking specific tests, so that the size of the tested popu lation is very important. California had 99 percent of its teacher preparation stud en ts pass the basic ski lls portions of the PRAXlS I (Pre-Professional Skills Tes t-PPST) and the 59 Fund amenta l Subjects Content Knowledge exam . These exams tes t general kn owledge and communica ti on skills. It should be noted that the College requires all stud ents who wish to continu e in teacher education to pass the PRAXIS I exa ms before they can be admitted to teacher education. The PRAXIS II exa m tests specialty areas. In the aca demic specialty a reas of math, English, biology, social studies, French, Spanish, physics, science, elementary, and ea rly childhood, 301 out of the 302 California University students w ho took the tests passed them for a pass ra te of alm os t 100 percent. The statewide rate was 97 percent. ln technology edu ca tion, 68 out of 68 stud ents passed the exa m for a 100 percent pass rate. The statewide ra te was 99 percent. In the teaching of special popul ations, 60 out of 60 students passed the exa m for a 100 percent pass rate. The statewide rate was 100 percent. Please note that the number of program completers wi ll not equal the sum of the number of stud ents taking assess ment because a co mpleter can take more than one assessment. The University was awa rded a summ ary total and pass ra te of 98 percent based on the number of students who successfull y compl eted one o r mo re tests across all categories used by the sta te fo r li censu re and the total pass rate. This was based on 318 taking the assessment and 313 pass in g. The statewide rate was 97 percent. Ca li fo rnia University wi ll use the data co ll ected by ETS to focus continu ed discussions on teacher preparation concentrating on co ntinu ous improve ment and outcome assessment. Decision Point 1: Acceptance as a Pre-Education Candidate Freshma11 w ith 0-23 credits Teacher edu ca ti on candidates w ho begin at Cal U w ith Oto 23 credits fo llow the stand ard Cal U admission poli cies that all incoming cand ida tes fo ll ow and may enroll as pre-educati on. Transfer Students with 24-90 credits The rationale for the GPA admi ssion matrix is to ensure that transfe r students who are accepted into Califo rnia Uni ve rsity of PA in teacher ce rtifi ca ti on prog ram have every cha.nee to meet the Admission to teacher edu ca tion and Recomm end ation for Student Teaching GPA requirements mand ated by the Penn sylvani a Department of Education. The manner in which California University of PA ca lculates the GPA for pre-edu ca tion transfer students w ill be standard fo r each de partm ent that is preparing students fo r their initial teacher ce rtifi ca ti on. Students who wish to transfer to Cal U wi th 24 or more credits are required to meet the GPA admission matrix show below. The GPA used for the admi ssion decision mu st be cumu lati ve from all previous colleges attended. The decision to accept a transfer student as a pre-edu cation major is made by the Office of Admissions and is considered final. Transfer Students GPA Admission Matrix No. of Transfer Credits Minimum GPA for Admission 0-23 2.00 24-27 2.20 60 No. of Transfer Credits Minimum GPA for Admission 28-31 2.30 32-35 2.40 36-39 2.50 40-43 2.60 44-47 2.70 48-65 2.80 66-90 3.00 Cal U does not acce pt indi v idu a ls, including transfe r students, with 91 o r mo re credits into a n und e rgradu ate teache r edu ca ti on program . Such indi vid ua ls a re ad vised to co mple te a non-educati on und e rg radu a te degree and p re pare themselves to ente r Cal U's post-baccalaurea te o r g raduate teache r edu ca ti on prog ram s. Students Changing their Major to Pre-Education Ca l U stud ents w ith 66-90 credits wishing to cha nge their maj o r to pre-educa tion mu s t have a 3.00 GPA. They mu st comple te a ll req uirements to be a pp roved fo r Admi ssion to teacl1er edu ca tion by the end of th e first semes te r as a p reedu ca ti on majo r using the d ead line d a tes of Febru ary 1 (fall semes te r) a nd June 1 (s pring semeste r). Decision Point 2: Admission to Teacher Education Admi ssion to the Uni vers ity is not a guarantee that a student m ajo ring in edu ca ti on w ill be admitted to teache r edu ca ti on, compl ete the p rogra m, student tea d1, and receive teachin g certifi ca ti on. The Pe nnsylvania Depa rtment of Edu ca tion and the Co lJ ege of Edu ca ti on and Huma n Service have established stand a rd s that all edu ca ti on majo rs mu s t mee t in o rde r to enroll in certa in courses, stud ent teach, and co mple te the teache r edu cati on progra m. So me of these s tand a rd s are embodied in the Admi ss ion to teacher edu ca ti o n requirements, whi ch must be completed by the ca ndid ate durin g the semester fo ll ow ing the compl etion o f 48 credits. Stud ents who transfer mo re tha n 41 credits are given two se meste rs to complete the ir Admi ssion to teache r edu cation require ments. Program Admission Requirements Stud ents mu st: l.

Communication Studies Faculty: Foil (Ch airperson), Backus, Carter, Cumings, Jasko, Kale, McGukin, Milford, Sholar, Spicer, Yochum Purpose Communication Studies is the discipline that focuses on human co mmunicative behavior and its influence on our personal, professional, social and cultural lives. The faculty in Communication Studies believes that human communication is fundamental to an individual's capacity to function as an effective and ethi cal participant in an information society. The department offers courses and activi ties designed to help students deal with the demands of varied communication situations. Programs Students majoring in Communication Studies have four academic program options: • The Speech Communication Concentration focuses on developing an understanding of the uniqu ely human capacity for producing and using 140 symbols. Students in this program deve lop an unde rs tandin g of and skiU in the human ability to share and exa mine facts, id eas, opinions, va lues and attitud es. • The Radi o(Ielev ision Concentration em phasizes the applica tion of mass communi ca tion theo ry to audio and video production. The on-campus te lev ision studi o and radio stati on provide students with hand s-on production experience in the electroni c media. • TI1e Public Re la ti ons Concentration seeks to crea te gradu ates w ho understand how public opinion e merges and changes. It provid es the too ls graduates will need fo r helping clients track changes in public opinio n and crea te m essages using an ever increas in g variety of media. • The fourth concentration is for persons who wa nt to teach in the a rea of communica tion. The Communication Stud ies Department in coopera tion with th e Coll ege of Edu ca ti on and Human Services, the Depa rtm ent of En glish, and the Departm ent o f Thea tre and Dance provid es course work necessa ry for second a ry school ce rtification in Communi ca ti on with a Speech Concentrati on.

Elementary/Early Childhood Education Faculty Sheffield (chairperson), Bonari (assistant chairpe rson), Armitage, Diehl, Farrer, Hug, Melenyzer, Nettles, Pete rson, Shimkanin, J. Vargo, C. Wright, R. Wyman Purpose The Elementary/Early Childhood Education Department, accredited by the ational Counci l for Accred itation of Teacher Education (NCATE), has a goal to prepare elementary and early chi ldhood teachers with the knowledge, skills, and disposition essential to become successful members of the teaching profession. All course work and expe riences in the major prepare stud en ts to meet the following Cal U Teacher Ed ucati on Program Performance Principles: 1. Know ledge of subject matter; 2. Knowledge of human development and learning; 3. Adapting instruction for individual needs; 4. Multip le instructional strategies; 5. Classroom motivati on and management skills; 6. Communication skills; 7. Instru ctional planning ski lls; 8. Assessment of student learni ng; 9. Professional comm itment and responsib ility; 10. Partnerships; 11. Diversity; and 12. Field experience. The Elementary/Early Childhood Ed uca tion programs are also rooted in the standard s of the Association of Childhood Education International (ACEI) and the ational Association for the Education of Young Children ( AEYC). Programs The Elementary/Ea rly Childhood Education Department offers three programs leading to the Bachelor of Science in Education degree w ith elementary teacher certification in Ea rly Childhood Education (N to Grade 3), Elementary Education 160 (K to Grad e 6) , and a du al certifi ca tion in Early Childh ood and Elementary Edu cation (N to Grade 6). In additi on, the department offers noncertifi ca tion programs in Ea rly Childhood Edu ca tion Services and Elementary Ed uca ti on Se rvices, w hich lead to a Bachelo r of Science degree. The de partment also offers an Associa te of Science degree in Early Childhood Edu ca ti on. The Elementary/Ea rl y Childhood and Special Edu ca ti on departments together offer two du al-ce rtifica tion programs: Special Edu ca ti on/Elementary an d Special Educa tion/Ea rl y Childhood . See the section on Special Edu ca ti on fo r more in fo rm ati on on these program. For freshmen students enrolling in Fall 2009 or later, two new certifi ca ti on programs w ill replace the current program s: • Pre-K to Grad e 4 • Grades 4 to 8 Dual-certi fica ti on program s w ith Special Educa ti on w ill also be ava il able. Beginning in 2013 the Pennsylva ni a De partment of Edu ca tion w ill no longer issue teaching ce rtifica tes in Earl y Childhood Ed uca tion (N to Grade 3); Elementary Ed uca ti on (K to Gra de 6) or the du al-major progra m. Honor Society Ka ppa Delta Pi, an international honor society in ed uca ti on, has a Ca li fo rnia Uni versity cha pter. Stud ents in edu ca ti on w ho have demonstrated a high level of aca demic achieve ment are in vited to apply fo r induction. Careers With the anti cipated retirements of millions of public school teachers, the future looks bright for those stud ents interes ted in a professional ca ree r in ea rly childhood and elementary edu ca tion. Career prospects for the Edu cation Services gradu ates are also encouraging; potenti al employers include adoption agencies, tutori al lea rning organiza tions, community recrea tion centers, camps, publishers, school service supply companies and ch ild abuse centers. Students w ith und ergradu ate degrees in these fi elds are pre pared to pu rsue ad vanced stud y in a vari ety of disciplines.

English Faculty M. Smith (chairperson), Aune, Ca rlisle, Downey, Fisanick, Hendricks, Kearcher, MacBeth, McCu llough, McVey, Na tali, Nora, Pathak, Roche, Sch werdt, Waterhouse, Wilson, Yahner Purpose English is a comprehensive discipline. Its scope encompasses a study of the evolution of the lan guage itself, the various types of writing, the literature in English (poetry, drama, fiction and essay, regardless of national origin), and the compara ti ve study of literature. As a course of stud y, English enables people to express themselves clearly and to read their ideas and those of others in an a ppreciati ve and critical manner. The ideas expressed are boundless, the content emotive as we ll as ra ti onal. Language competency is essential to the exchange of ideas, the successful compl etion of course work, and meaningful employ ment. To ensure that stud ents will develop their langu age skills and w ill have the means to meet these expectations, the University requires that all entering students take the English placement exa minati on for placement into either ENG 100 English Language Skills or ENG 101 Composition I. All stud ents are encouraged to take the two composition courses during their first semesters. Programs The English majo r has several concentrations, including the literature program, the language and literacy concentration, and two concentrations in professional writing: crea tive w riting and journalism. For persons w ho want to teach English or to teach in an allied area, secondary school certification in English and certifica tion in communj ca tion (speech commurucation and thea ter) are offered in cooperati on with the College of Education and Human Se rvices. A well-developed internsrup system suppo rts classroom studies in the professional w riting progra m. Honor Societies • Sigm a Tau Delta is the national English honor society. The California Uruversity chapter, Delta Theta, was chartered in 1959 and is the oldest chapter in the Pennsylvarua State System of Hj gher Education. • The Society of Professional Journalists • The Califo rnja University chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists helps prepare students for careers in the media, offerin g professional and social ties. Scholarships and Awards The English De partment also awa rds regu larly the following: the English Faculty Award; the Mrnor Major Award; the EAPSU Outstanding English Major Award; 165 the Literary Criticism Award; and the Eleanore C.

Purpose and Programs The Department of Hea lth Science offers degree programs in Athleti c Training, Gerontology, and Phys ical Therapist Assistant. The department is housed in H amer Hall. The Athletic Training Education Program (ATEP) is accredited by the Commission on Accred itation for Athletic Training Education (CAATE). Students m ay major in Athletic Training or combine Athletic Training with the Physical Therapist Assistant Program . Athletic training is the prevention, trea tment and rehabilitation of injuries to the physicall y active population. Students that complete the ATEP are eligible for certification as an athleti c tra iner after successfull y passing the Board of Certification (BOC) Examination. Ca lifornia Universi ty's ATEP grad uates work as athletic trainers in a w ide va ri ety of settings nationwid e, including professional spo rts, colleges and uni versities, hi gh schools, hospitals, outpatient dinjcs, and in du stri al and corporate settings. Modem, well-equipped athletic training faciljties are loca ted in H amer Hall and Adam son Stadium. The Califorrua University intercollegiate athletic program, a strong NCAA Division II program and a member of the Pennsylva nia State Athletic Conference (PSAC), includes 18 varsity sports that enab le stud ents to gain valuable experi ence as athletic training students. Students also receive ex periences at area high schools, local colleges and the Student Health Center as partial fulfillment of their requjred clirucal edu ca tion. The fi eld of gerontol ogy is expanding as the number of older Americans continues to increase, quickly ou tpacing other segments of the population. With 37 mrni on Americans cu rrently over the age of 65 and a projected 71.5 million old er citizens by 2030, our society is facing crucial issues about aging whjch will impact the health and welfare of every single American . Implications for academic study and training in gerontology are enormou s. The stu dy of aging wi ll be of cri ti cal importance during the nex t century as the baby boomers pass into the ranks of the older generations. Ca li fornia Uruversity offers two academic programs to meet these needs - the B.S. in Geronto logy and the Aging Specialist Ce rtifi ca te. The Phys ical Therapist Assistan t (PTA) Assoc iate of Applied Science degree program graduates ethi cal physical therapist assistants who will provide safe, effective, hi gh-qu al ity se rvice to the patients/clients they trea t. The physical therapist assistant is an educated health care provider who assists the physical therapist to provide rehabilitation services for individuals who are unab le to function due to pathology, impai rment, func tional limitations, o r who want to improve function via prevention. Students ga in experience at both cam pus and off-campus cljnica l sites. The Phys ical Therapist Assistant Program is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation in Physical Therapy Ed uca tion (CAPTE) of the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA), located at 1111 orth fajrfa x Street, Alexandria, VA 22314-1488. The APTA phone number is 1-800-999-2702. 180 Careers in Athletic Training The high incidence of injuries occu rring th rough athleti c parti cipa tion and physical acti vity has become a national concern and has crea ted a demand fo r individuals who have completed a CAATE-accred ited athletic training edu ca tion program. Job opportunities for ce rtified athletic trainers have increased substanti ally, and the employ ment potentia l fo r athletic trainers continues to increase. The ultimate goal of this p rogra m is to prep are grad uates for certifi ca ti on by the BOC and fo r ca ree rs in athleti c training. Man y high schools utilize athl etic trainers to prov ide better health care for their interscholastic athletic programs. In additi on, fo ur-yea r colleges and universities, as well as junior and communi ty colleges, p rov ide signi fi can t possibilities for employ ment. Positions w ith p rofessional team s ex ist; however, they are fewe r in number than those associated with interscholasti c athleti c programs. There is an increasing number of oppo rtun ities in physica l therapy clinics and industri al settings with corporations such as Disneyland, Xerox and Coca-Cola. Califo rnia's ATEP gra duates work as athleti c trainers in a w ide variety of settings nati onw ide, including pro fessional sports, colleges an d uni versities, hi gh schools, hospitals, outpatient clinics, and industri al and corpora te settings. Careers in Gerontology Varie ty is the best word to describe jobs in gerontology . The bachelor's degree in gerontology prepares stud ents to pursue gra du ate edu cati on in gerontology or a related d iscipline or to work with older people in settings, including long-term care fa cilities; re tirement communities; senior housing; federal, state and local governm ent offices on aging; hom e health ca re agencies; senior centers, adult day services; adult protecti ve service agencies; care management agencies; business and industry; leisure progra ms; and health p romoti on p rogram s. Careers in PTA The agin g of the baby boomer genera tion has crea ted man y new opportunities in physical thera py. Pennsylvania has the nati on's second oldest population w ith 15 percent of all Penn sylvani ans over the age of 65. Acco rding to Pennsylvania's Department of Labor and Industry, the need fo r physical thera pist assistants is expected to increase 15 percent th rough the yea r 201 4. Physical therapist assistants provide thera py services under the supervision and di rection of the PT.

Purpose History and political science are closely related disciplines th at use the past to understand the present and the future. Our program mission is to encourage literate critical thinking by students, w ho work with faculty engaged in diverse, broadly based scholarshi ps. History and political science faculty strive to mentor and develop students as they build character and careers. 186 Programs The department offe rs a Bachelor of Arts degree and a minor in hi story, a Bachelor of Arts degree and a minor in political science, and a minor in pre-law. The history major is general in nature, providing stud ents wi th the oppo rtunity to select areas of topical interest. Political scien ce is a hi ghly prescribed discipline. It limits its inte rests to the political aspects of human behav ior, both national and intern ational, including the study of power and organiza tions. The Political Science department offers four concentra tions: Genera l Political Science, Public Policy, Campaign Management and Pre-Law. The Internationa l Studies program includes a concentrati on in Political Science. Students with concentrations in the di scipline are advised by Political Science facu lty. Honor Society Students w ho meet the aca demic requirements are eligible for membership in Phi Alpha Theta, the Na tional Honor Society in History, or Pi Sigma Alpha, the National Political Science Honor Society. Careers Teacher, archivist a nd museum curator are profess ions directly related to the hi story major. Ca reers in law, reli gion, foreign service, both corporate and government, and diplomacy have a grea t reliance on historical knowledge. In addition, history majors are employed in the marketing field, the communi cations industry and the insurance industry. Students may ch oose to concentrate in a maj or field of study in politica l science: pre-law, campaign management, or public poli cy. A degree in an y of these concentrations prepares the student for a variety of ca reers in the public and priva te sectors. Students may be employed in national, state and local government agencies; interna tiona l government and public agenci es; fields such as criminal jus tice, en vironmental protection, consu mer affairs or urban p lanning; political consulting and research firm s; nonprofit organizations and citizen action groups; and public policy analysis.

Zuchelkowski (B iologica l and Environmenta l Sciences) Purpose The Honors Program at California Uni versity of Pennsylvania provides an opportunity for an enhanced edu catio nal experience to ou r most talented studen ts and facu lty. Honors Program students desire to pursue intellectual and creative growth beyond the usual requirements of their major field of study and intend to cultivate their indi vidual and personal aspirations to learn. Honors Program students and faculty expect to explore and participate in scholarly, professional and artistic exercises ou tside the classroo m; they engage in commu ni ty se rvice activities, which complement their academic studi es and nurture their personal sense of commitment and communal res ponsi bility. Honors stud ents anticipate exe rcising leadership while at California University; they prepare to beco me leaders while tudents in our program, and they expect to continue as leaders when they grad uate. Membership Membership in the University Honors Program is by in vi tation on ly. However, the Hono rs Program promotes outstanding intellectual achievement throughout the University, and und ergraduate students in any program or division of the University ma y participate in the H onors Program . Each yea r, the appl ica ti ons of all inco ming first-yea r and transfer studen ts are reviewed, and those students with the very hi ghest indica tors of past and future academic success are invited to participate in the Honors Program. Programs Each su mmer (since 1985) two Honors Program students receive scholarships to participate in the PASSHE Summer Honors Program. This progra m is noted for its academi c qu ality and its opportunity, typica lly, to study abroad in such places as Ecuador (2003), Costa Rica (2004), France (2005), Ghana (2006), Europe 194 (2007), China (2008), and France (2010) . H onors Program students have the o pportunj ty to parti cipate in the Honors Program res idence hall, whjch includes specia lty ho using in Building A, as we ll as educational, social and recrea tional programming. The Honors Prog ram maintains a small, but rugh quality, co mputer fac ili ty in the residence hall complex reserved fo r the excl usive use of its students and faculty. Each academi c year, the Hono rs Progra m conducts and coo rdinates a special grouping of courses for its stud ents and facul ty. The cou rse grouping focuses on a particular theme, ro tating in a fo ur-year cycle, including hum aniti es, social science, fin e arts, environ men tal studies, ed ucati on, business, natu ral science, and life science. Honors Program students are encouraged to be active scholars and have presented their wo rk at loca l, regional, national and international conferences and in internationa l publications. Awards Currently, the H onors Program annually presents the fo ll ow in g awards: Senjor Thesis Project Award and the O utstanding Honors Program Gra duatin g Seruor Awa rd. Curriculum Courses desi gnated as Honors courses are restricted to members of the Honors Program and are offered at all class levels. [n such courses, enrollment is kept low to encou rage and ensure close interaction between stud ent and professor. Additionally, mos t regu lar University course offerings at all levels may have an Honors component. [n such cou rses (called addend a), Honors stud ents fulfill the sa me requirements as other students in the class, but Honors stud ents perform certain indepen dent work which is designed to enhance the regular departmental courses and whi ch is agreed upon in writing by th e stud ent, the professo r, and the Honors Program. In all such courses, the successful completi on of th e course and its Honors com ponent is indicated on the student's transcript. Honors Program students are ex pected to maintain a minimum grade-point ave rage sufficient to achjeve the dean 's list and to gradu ate wi th honors. Addi tionall y, stud ents mu st complete a minjmum of 24 credits, including addenda and thesis project, with in th e Honors Progra m.

Justice, Law and Society Purpose The prulosophy of ed ucation fo r the De partment of Justice, Law and Society is to .integrate the su bstantive, procedural, theoretical an d scientifi c aspects of law, crime, justice, anthropology and sociology with a liberal arts edu ca tion w hile inco rporati ng ethi cs, leade rship and diversity. Although th.is philosophy is primaril y professional, the students are ex posed to a wide array of intellectual di scip lines across the University. The w id e- ranging course offerings refl ect the interdisciplinary approach and dedication to pre paring grad uates for a multitude of o pportunities in justice systems, ap plied sociologica l practice and public archaeology, locally, nationall y and intern ati onally; to be able to communj ca te and make informed cri ti cal decisions; and to pursue grad uate stud y in law, anthropo logy, sociology, criminal justice, criminology and fo rensic sciences. 195 Faculty Al-Khattar (chairperson}, Cencich, Hsieh, E. Jones, Kuba, Larsen, McCLintock, ass, Noel, Sweitzer. Programs There are three principal programs w ithin the Depa rtm ent of Ju sti ce, Law and Society: Justice Studies, Anthropology and Sociology. Each of these programs has speciali zed concen tra ti ons, which are described below. Justice Studies The Ju sti ce Studies majo r consists of a core requirement of 11 courses that are designed to provide a broad and coheren t approach to the six content areas identified by the Academy of Criminal Ju stice Sciences. Students then have five concen tra ti ons avai lable to them: general justice studies; criminology; law and justice; co rpo rate and H omeland Security; and fore nsic science. The forensic science concentration has two core courses, and students can elect to take one o r more tracks to include: crime scene investiga tion; behaviora l crime; fo rensic accounting; computer forensics; foren sic anthropol ogy; and genera l forensic science.

Michael Zabrzeski, Master Sgt. Chris Pain ter an d Sgt. 1st Class Charles Minor 220 About Military Science (Army ROTC) The Army Reserve Officers Training Corps (Army ROTC) is a national program that provides co llege-trained officers for the U.S. Army, the Army Na tional Guard and the U.S. Army Reserve. Army ROTC enhances studen ts' educa ti on by providing unique leadership and management ex perience and helps develop self-discipline, physical stamina and poise. This ed uca ti onal experience is further enhanced throu gh the Professiona l Military Ed uca ti on program. This program encourages stud en ts to take additional courses in military history, written communication, human behavior, m anagement and national security studies. Participation in field training/trips are required during each semes ter. The Army ROTC program at Ca lifornia University of Pennsylvania is a sa tellite progra m delegated by the University of Pittsburgh Military Science Program; classes take place on campus. For add itional information not covered below, call the Military Science department at 724-938-1679 or 724-317-1387, or visit our office in the Prich Biological Science Building (BSC), Room 217. The Basic Program ROTC is traditionally a fo ur-yea r progra m consisting of a Basic and an Ad vanced Program. The Basic Program is usually taken in the freshman and sophomore years. The stud ent incurs no military obliga tion. Students may discontinue the Basic Program at any time. It consists of fo ur semesters of training and instruction on areas of national defense, land naviga ti on, small-unit leadership, military history and leadership development. Unifo rm, necessary textbooks and eq uipm en t are furnished without cos t to the studen t. To be eli gible fo r the Basic Program, a stud ent must be enrolled as a full-time stud ent at Cal ifo rni a University and not be a conscientious objector. Students who have taken Junior ROTC or have military experien ce (acti ve duty, guard o r reserves) may receive adva nced placement credit for the Basic Program. The Advanced Program The Advanced Progra m is normally taken in the final two years of co llege. Instru cti on includes further leadership development and evalu ati on, organizational and management techniques, tactics, and administration. Training is directed toward preparing the studen t to be commissioned and assum e responsibilities as a second lieutenant upon completion of all program requirements. A paid Leadership Development and Assessment Course (LDAC) is held during the summ er between the junior and senior year and is required of all advanced co urse studen ts. This ca mp permits the cadet to put into practice the principles and theories acquired in classroom instruction . In ad diti on to being paid approx imately $800 (for five weeks of leadership training), the cadet is paid travel expenses, room an d boa rd, medical and dental care, an d other benefi ts w hile attending LDAC. To be eli gi ble fo r the Advanced Program, a student must: (1) fulfill the requirements for the Basic Program; (2) successfully com plete the professo r of Mi litary Science's (PMS) interview and selection process; (3) meet Army med ical sta nd ards; (4) have a grade-point average of 2.0 or better (2.5 or better preferred); and (5) meet Army physica l fitness standa rds. 221 Graduate Students Graduate students may avail themselves of the opportunity for commission in the Army through the ROTC on campus and earn a stipend while doing so. Applicants need not have previous service in the armed forces; however, they must attend a summer ca mp. Additional informa tion may be obtained from the ROTC office on ca mpus. Two-Year Program The two-year prog ram enables students who did not enroll in the Basic Program to become eli gible for entry into the Advanced Program throu gh one of three methods: (1) Armed Forces veterans and Junior ROTC grad uates may quali fy for entry into the Advanced Program; (2) Students may elect to attend the ROTC Leader' s Trai ning Cou rse (a five-week program completed during the summer) before enterin g the Advanced Program; (3) Students may attend Basic Training as members of an Army Reserve or ational Guard unit. To be eli gible fo r the two year program, one must be a full-time student in good standing with the University and must have at least junior sta tus, be pursuing a fo ur-year degree, and sa tisfy all the entry requirements outlined above for the Advanced Program. Army ROTC Stipend All stu dents enrolled and contracted into the Advanced Program and those receiving sch olarship benefi ts receive a stipend of $300 for freshmen, $350 fo r sophomo re, $450 for juniors and $500 for seniors per month for 10 months of the school year. This stipend is tax-exempt. Army ROTC Scholarships Advanced freshmen may compete for three-year merit scholarships whether or not they are enrolled in military science courses. These scholarships pay for tuition and fees up to $20,000 a year, a flat book-rate of $900 per year, and a stipend fo r 10 months of each school year. Applications for these scholarships are accepted from the end of the fa LI semester through the beginning of the spring semester. Simultaneous Membership Program (SMP) This progra m provides membership in ROTC and an Army Reserve or Army ati onal Guard unit at the sa me time. While enrolled in ROTC, the stu dent is also fi lling a leadershi p position, such as platoon leader, in a Reserve or Nationa l Guard unit. This affords the student the opportunity to gain va luab le leadershi p and mana gement experience whi le attending the University. The student receives the ROTC stipend and drill pay from the Reserves. Students w ho qualify and take advantage of all the benefi ts that are available through this program may receive benefits of as much as $12,000. Military Science Student Activities Military Science stud en ts are encouraged to participate in University and civic activ ities as much as their course load will allow. The Military Science Department and the Vulcan Cadet Corps sponso rs activities such as serving as color guard for Unive rsity functions, marching in parades, and for mal and semifo rrnal social activities. Military Adventure Training In addition to all the training and activities offered by the Department of Military Science, a selected number of highly motiva ted cadets are afforded the 222 opportunity to attend so me of the U.S. Army's most prestigious and challenging military schools. Limited numbers of positions are ava il able for cadets to attend the U.S. Army Ai rbo rne School (a t Fort Benning, Georgia), the U.S. Army Air Assault School (at Fort Campbell, Ky ., or Schofield Barracks, H awa ii), and the U.S. Army No rthern Warfare School (at Fort Greely, Alaska) . School allocations are awa rd ed on a competiti ve basis.

The student lea rns about the role of the U.S. Army in providing fo r nationa l security, basic leadership and manage ment skill s, as well as basic military skills. The student is afforded the opportunity to participate in outd oor activ iti es, such as rappelling, swim su rvi va l and w hite wa ter rafting, besides participating in va rious socia l acti vi ties sponso red by the Cadet Corps. Advanced GMS Courses The 300- and 400-series courses constitute the advanced courses of military instruction for men and wo men who desire a commission as second lieutenant in the active Army, the Army Reserve or the Arm y Na tional Guard . This phase is composed of the studies in advanced leadership and manage ment, tactics, military law, modern instructi onal and training techniques, and ethics and professionalism. Students are evalu ated on thei r leadership skills in va rious lead ership positions. Acceptance by the professor of Military Science is a prerequisite fo r enrollment in the Advanced Program . No te: F and S indicate w hether the course is usually offered in the fa ll or the spring. Leadership Lab Leadership lab mu st be scheduled as part of each general military science course (CMS 101 throu gh CMS 302). CMS 401/402 do no t schedule lab; however, stud ents must attend. During lab students are evalu ated in various leadership positions and give and receive hand s-on basic military skill classes, such as first aid, swim surviva l, basic mountainee ring, movement techniques, survival, and drill and ceremony. 223 Modern Languages & Cultures Faculty Gonza lez, Pensa, Randall, Ribar (chairperson) Purpose Rapid political and econo mic ch an ges in the world require that stud ents not only und erstand other cultures, but that they can co mmuni ca te with persons in those cu ltures. In this sense, fam iliarity with speaking and reading a mod ern langu age and being aware of how persons in other countries think about the world is pragmatic. Programs The department administers four program s: liberal arts language programs in French and Spanish; a language ce rtification program fo r students w ho plan to teach in one of the language areas; and an international studies program with options in business and economi cs, modern languages, geography and political science. Language and cu lture are closely aHgned, and a seri es of culture courses tau ght in English are avai lable. These indicate how artistic ex pression, geography, and econo mk and historica l development mutu all y influence each oth er. Mi nors in modern languages are offe red in French and Spanish. Placement Students entering a modern language course wi ll be evaluated in order to determine the proper course-level placement fo r them. Students who w ish to receive credit for previously acquired lan guage proficiency can take a CLEP exa mination or a challenge examination. Careers Linguistic ab ility in langua ges other than English ca n promote employment oppo rtunities in organiza tions working internationall y, especially legal, banking and commercia l co rpo rati ons; nationa l and regional governm ental agencies; social service and reli gious organi za tions; educati onal institutions; communi cations; import-export and travel businesses; and a va riety of translation services.

Women's Studies courses challenge stu dents to reconsider assu mptions about the similarities and differences between and am ong women and men. Students expand their knowledge of the expe riences of groups w ho are often not highli ghted in traditional curricula. As a result of increased knowledge, new perspectives and self-reflection, students gain an enhanced understanding of them selves and a greater respect for people of diverse populations. Minor in Women's Studies The Women's Studies minor enhances women's and men's preparation for careers and promotes personal growth. A minor in Women's Studies better equ ips a person for professional and personal life by promoti ng cri tical-thinking skills as well as a keen awareness of how gend er and diversity affect perspectives and experiences. Employers often prioritize hiring candidates w ho appreciate and respect diversity and who are able to successfu ll y work wi th diverse populations. Advancement and success in many professional fields require taking adva ntage of the recent exp losion of new information about gender, multiculturalism and cultu ra l competence. The minor complements a wide range of fields, such as sociology, anthropology, criminal justice, education, social work, business, nursing, counseling, law, art, journalism, political science, athletics, English, medicine and psychology, to name a few. Women's Studies is a unique discipline in academia.

Uni ve rsity housin g was des igned w ith signifi ca nt input fro m students, resulting in facilities and se rvices tailo red to stud ents' chan gin g needs. Suite-style res id ence halls on the lower campu s house stud ents wh o are primarily freshm en, but also include a mix of upper-class stud ents to pro mote community development and sharing of ca mpu s tradi tions. Since the fi rst yea r of college typicall y in volves numerous academi c, personal and social tran sitions, the staff's emphasis is on suppo rt and building community so stud ents feel connected to Cal U, adjust to their new home and succeed academicall y. As students mature and want to branch out on thei r ow n to mo re independ ent li vin g, the ga rd en-style apartment co mplex, Vul ca n Vill age, is ava ilable. Fully equipped apartments that house stud ents just one mil e from the lowe r ca mpu s give stud ent the increased freedom and independence they're ready fo r. Stud ents mu st purchase a food service plan if they li ve in the suite-style halls on th e lower ca mpu s. Vul can Village apartments have full y equipped kitchens, so a mea l plan is o ptional. Lower-Campus Housing: Th e Suite Life Housing on the lowe r ca mpu s is not guaranteed fo r everyone. A maj ori ty of lo wer-campu s s paces are re erved for incoming first-yea r stud ents, who are assigned on a first-come, first-se rved basis, so it helps to appl y as ea rl y as possible. Each yea r, a percentage of the spaces avai lable is set aside fo r uppercl assmen, and a lottery is held to determine wh o can contract for lowe rcampu s housin g. Students no t selected in the lottery must fulfill the remainder of their fo ur-semester residency requirement at Vulcan Village, as Unive rsity policy states that all fi rst-time fres hm en w ho continu e enrollment are requ ired by the University to res id e in Uni vers ity housing (either lower-campu s halls or uppercampu s housin g at Vulcan Vill age), for the first fo ur se mesters of th eir college ca ree r, with th e fo ll owing exceptions: 393 • Students commuting fro m the residence of their parents or legal guard ians; • Ma rried students; and • Stud ents who are 21 yea rs of age or older by the date of registration. The housing contract is binding and includes both the fall and spring semesters of an academic year. The University retains the right to assign all stud ents to particular res idence halls, fl oors and roomm ates in the best interests of the University. You may requ est a room or roommate(s), and we w ill attempt to honor the request, but w ill not be obliga ted to do so. The University wi ll not guaran tee any student a given room, roommate or residence hall based on class rank, previous occupan cy or an y o ther criteri a. The assigned space remai ns the property of the Uni versity and regulations apply for its use. Failure to ab ide by set regul ati ons may result in disciplinary action. If your behav ior indica tes that yo u are no t suitable for the residence hall environment, the Un iversity has the auth ori ty to take possession of a given room at any time withou t refunding fees. Contracting fo r housing on the lower ca mpu s in any aca demic yea r does not obliga te the University to offer housin g in the sa me loca tion in future semesters.
