And while building ca ree rs may be ex pected of universities, building character may see m less so. But the rationa le fo r building character, as well as ca reers, is best seen in these words by Theodo re Roosevelt: "To edu ca te a person in mind but not in morals is to edu ca te a menace to socie ty." Since 1852, eage r stud ents have se ized the opportunity to deve lo p their d1aracter and ca ree rs here a nd, in so d oing, have imp roved their li ves a nd the lj ves of those aro und them . To adva nce its ul tima te mission o f building the characte r a nd ca ree rs of students, the Unive rs ity relies upon co mmitted facu lty, motiva ted stud ents, challenging progra ms, and exceptional facilities. We invite you to meet our faculty and students, to eva lu a te our aca de nuc programs, and to tour o ur fac ilities. Because learni ng at Califorru a Uruversity is not restri cted to one's academjc major, the uni vers ity experience he re is a broad one, in vo lving many co-curricul ar and ex tracurricular opportunjties. Students can select from a number of acad emi c nun ors and concentrations; from a n array of stud ent acti v ities, ranging from a thle tics to ho nor societies; from G reek o rganiza tions to se rvice lea rrung; and from sco res of stud ent clubs a nd organiza tions. Cal U is a s tud ent-cente red uni versity that is committed above all to academic excell ence and inte ll ectu al rigor in the contex t of pe rsonal and instituti onal integrity, civility, and res ponsibi lity. We p rovide a welco ming, fa mily atmosphe re. We a re la rge enough to offer a va riety of programs, ye t small eno ugh to know many s tud ents by name. Pl ease ex cuse our du st as we continu e to grow at Ca l U. The new Duda Hall and adjo inin g Booke r Towe rs have been comple ted and provide a bea utiful new ga teway to ou r campu s.

About Financial Aid A co llege edu ca ti on is one the most impo rtant investments a stud ent and family can make. You and your fam ily will be expected to contribute as mud, as you can from your own resources (income, savings, and assets) to help meet you r co llege ex penses. The purpose of finan cial aid is to help stud ents and fam ilies mee t educati onal ex penses that cannot be met through their own resources. Financial aid can be either need-based o r non-need-based. The results of the Free Appli ca tion for Federal Stud ent Aid (FAFSA) along with the cost of ed uca tion (COE) wiJI determine w hether a student has finan cial need. There are severa l ty pes of fin ancial aid available. Grants and sdiolarships are considered "gift aid " because they generally do not have to be repaid. Loan s and employ ment are considered "self-help ai d" because loan s have to be repaid, and by working, you ea rn money fo r educational ex penses. Loans a re by far the largest source of financial aid fo r the majority of stud ents and fa milies. Most grants, some loans (Subsidized Stafford and the Perkins Loa n), and Federal Work-Study are need-based financial aid programs. The Unsubsidi zed Stafford and the Parent Loan for Unde rg raduate Students (PLUS) are considered non-need-based. Scholarships can be based upon merit, financial need, or bo th. Approx imately 90 percent of all students attending Ca li fornia University receive so me type of financial aid. Financial aid assistan ce comes from fo ur main sources: federal government, state government, Ca li fornia University, and priva te entities. The federa l government is by far the largest source of financi al aid assistance at Califo rni a University . 21 Eligibility Requirements 1n order to be eligib le fo r most federal finan cial aid program s, you must meet the fo ll owing eli gibi li ty requ irements: • Have financial need, except fo r some loan progra ms. • Have a hi gh school diploma or a General Ed ucation Development (GED) certifi ca te, pass a test a pproved by the U.S. Department of Education, or meet other stand ard s estab lished by your state and a pproved by the U.S. Department of Edu ca tio n. • Be enrolled or acce pted for enrollment as a reguJar student working toward a degree or certifi ca te in an eligible program. • Be a U.S. ci tize n o r eli gi ble noncitizen. • Have a va lid Socia l Security Number. • Make sa tisfactory academic progress. • Sign a tatement of educational purpose and a certification statement indica ting that yo u are not in defa uJt on a student loan and do no t owe money back on a g rant.

If you ca nnot o r d o not fil e your FAFSA by our first priority dea dline, please fil e as soon as you ca n. You will still be cons ide red fo r the Pell G rant, s tud ent loa ns, work-stud y, etc. PHEAA State Grant Ln o rder to rece ive state gr ant assistan ce from PHEAA, stud ents must fil e their 2008-2009 FAFSA o r Renewa l FAFSA by May 1, 2008. All stu dents are urged to a pply even if the d eadline has passed, since late app li ca tions are considered if hinds pe rmit. Handling Special Circumstances Although the process of de te rmining a stud en t's eligi bility fo r fin ancia l a id is the sa me fo r a ll stud ents, an adju stment so metimes can be ma d e if a s tud ent has special cir cumstan ces. Special circu mstances may incl ud e a reducti on in in com e du e to loss of em ployment, d ea th, or disability of a wage earner; divo rce or separation; loss of socia l security benefits; unusual medical expenses; etc. In addi tion, a student who d oes not m ee t the fede ral definition of an in d ependent studen t fo r fin an cial aid purposes m ay be able to d ocu ment those exceptional circumstances in ord er to be considered a n inde pend ent studen t. The Financi al Aid Office has a Change of Income Info rma tion Form (CIIF), which sho uld be used when the specia l ci rcum stances invo lve a loss o f $5,000 or more in in come/benefi ts or unreimbursed medi cal expenses, which exceed 7.5 percent 24 of the fa mily's adjusted income. The Change of Income Information Fo rm will be ava ilable after January 2, 2009, by contacting the Financial Aid Office. A student who wants to appeal his or her depend ency status for financial aid purposes should file the Dependency Appeal Fo rm fo r the a ppropriate school year. A student who does not meet the federal definiti on of an independent stud ent normally must file as a depend ent student and include parental informati on on the FAFSA. Only students with exce ptional circumstances should fil e the Dependency Appeal Form. Unfortunately, parents' unwillingness to help pay for college, no t being claimed as an exemption on parents' tax return, or living on your own does not make a stud ent independ ent fo r fin ancial aid purposes. The Depend ency Appeal Form is ava ilable upon request from the Financial Aid Office. If you think you have special circumstances that you want to discuss with a financial aid counselo r, please feel free to con tact our offi ce. After You Apply FAFSA Results The federal government wi ll process your Free App licati on for Federal Stud ent Aid (FAFSA) and electronically send the results to the Financial Aid Office provided you listed California as one of the schools to receive the results of your FAFSA. You should receive a paper Student Aid Report (SAR) in the mail approximately 7-10 days after the federa l processor receives your FAFSA. You should review the SAR to see if any correcti ons are necessary. Otherwise, you can keep the SAR fo r your records. When you apply fo r federal student aid, the info rmation re ported on the FAFSA is used in a formula a pproved by Congress. This federal formula determines a stud ent's Expected Family Contribution (EFC), the amoun t the famil y (stud ent and parents, if applicable) is ex pected to contribute towa rd the stud ent's education. The basic elements included in determining the EFC are: • Contribution from the parents' income and assets • Contribution fro m the stud ent's income and assets • Number of members in the household • Number of fami ly members enrolled at leas t half-time in college You can ob tain an estima te of your EFC yourself by using the Web calcul ato r ava il ab le at www. finaid .org/calculators/finaidestimate.phtrn1. The lower the EFC, the more financial need a student w ill have. The lowest EFC possible is zero; the highest is 99,999 or above. If the student' s EFC is 4041 or less, the stud ent may qualify fo r a federa l PelJ Grant (o nly stud ents pursuing their first baccala ureate degree are eligib le). To determine eligibili ty fo r o ther federa l aid, a student's EFC is used in the fo llowing eq uati on: Cost-of-Attend an ce minu s Expected Fami ly Contributi on (EFC) = Financial Need Yo ur demonstrated finan cial need w ill determine w hich p rograms you qualify for. Even if you have no financial need, you w ill still q ualify for the Unsubsidi zed Federa l Stafford Loan and/or Parent Loan for Undergra du ate Stud ent (PLUS). 25 Your parent mu st be willing to apply for the PLUS Loan and have a sa tisfa ctory credit history. Verification Each year the U.S. Department of Edu ca ti on selects fin anci al aid a pplicants for federal verifica tion review. This process requires Cal ifornia University of PA to verify the accuracy of data re po rted by students on their FAFSA fo rms. There are several possible reasons th at a FAFSA record is selected to be ve rified . Some a pplica ti ons are selected rand oml y. Others are ca tego rized as hav ing a hig h probabili ty of error (e.g., applica ti ons on w hich stud ents p rov ided estim ated, not actual, income tax info rmati on). Also, some applica tions may be selected because of incomplete d ata or confli cting info rmation . The e-mail notifi ca ti on or paper Student Aid Repo rt (SAR) fro m the federal processo r wiU indicate if your a pplication is selected for ve rificati on rev iew. The Finan cial Aid Office at California University w il.l also no ti fy you that your FAFSA has been selected to be verified and w ill as k you to submit copies of certain d ocuments you used to compl ete your FAFSA as fo ll ows: a complete signed copy of both the student an d parent (if the stud ent is depend ent) U.S. income Tax Returns (this includes an y related 1099 fo rms and supporting schedules); a copy of stud ent and pa rent (if the stud ent is depend ent) W-2 Wage Tax Statements (i.e., W-2 fo rms); and a Ve rifi cation Form whi ch we w i.LI send you . (The Verification Form is also available online at www.cup.edu/financiaJ_aid . All documents should be sent to the Financial Aid Office fo r processing. These d ocuments become part of your CUP fin an cial aid file. The info rm ation on the documents submitted is then compared to the FAFSA information provided to us by the federal FAFSA processor. For many students, the process consists simpl y of a review of the tax returns, W-2 fo rms, and the Verifi ca tion Fo rm they submit. But sometimes foll ow-up requ ests fo r additional inform ati on may be necessa ry. This occurs if inconsistencies are di scove red w hich must be resolved . When thi s happens, we typically send requ ests fo r additional in fo rm ati on by mail. To expedite the verifi ca ti on rev iew, please submit aU requ ested d ocuments to the Finan cial Aid Office as soon as possible (include all requested documents at the same time). Make sure you send the 2007 Federal Tax Form s, not the state tax fo rms. In additi on, it is impo rtant that the documents you submit are legible and signed w here a pplicable. Also, make su re all docum ents submitted are clea rly labeled w ith the stud ent's name and social secu ri ty number. Typicall y, the stud ents selected fo r ve rifi ca tion will receive an awa rd packet; howeve r, these awards are tentati ve (estim ate o nl y) pending the co mpleti on and outcome of ve rifi ca tion. lf an y errors are di scovered during the ve rifica ti on process, we w il.l correct your FAFSA. The federal FAFSA processor w ill send you a revised Stud ent Aid Report (SAR), which will refl ect the co rrecti ons we make to your FAFSA. lf the error(s) chan ges the amount of your fin an cia l aid, the new awards w ill be refl ected on the Stud ent Self Services Web page at sisweb.cup. ed u . Note: Federal Stafford Loans are not certified until the ve rifi ca ti on process has been compl eted . Cost of Attendance Each yea r the Uni versity establishes a total "cos t of attendance" budget based on a stud ent' s housing statu s (co mmuter, do rmitory, o r off-ca mpu s), enrollment 26 status (full-time o r part-time), and residency statu s (in-state or ou t-of-state). The cost of attend ance budget represents the total edu ca tional ex penses a stud ent may incur whil e attending our Un.iversity, and is a critical element in determining a stud ent' s eligibility for Federal Stafford Loan assistance. The elements of this budget are both "direct" instituti onal ex penses (tuition/fees and/or University room/board), as well as " indirect" cos ts (off-campus hou sing, books/supplies, and/o r personal expenses) not billed by the Universi ty. In so me cases, we can build an individual budget for a student or add additional edu ca ti onal ex penses with appropriate docum entati on. Some of the more co mmon expenses for w hi ch we can adju st a budget include the fo ll owing: • Art su pplies • Costs associated w ith studying abroad • Dependent ch ild ca re • Purchase or lease of a Persona l Computer (not to exceed $1,500) 1n o rd er to discuss hav ing your budge t adju sted, you would need to obtain appropriate documentation detailing the additi onal expenses, and then you should contact the Financial Aid Office to scl1edule an a ppointment wi th a counselor. Note: The indirect/li ving ex penses a stud ent actuall y incurs wi ll vary significantly fro m stud ent to student. A stud ent's progra m of study, year in school, housing/ board arrangements, stud ent's budgeting skills, and many other variables w ill affec t a stud ent's tota l ex penses within this budget element. The University determines the indirect/ li ving cos ts fo r each student type based on d ata collected from students, loca l bookstores, and loca l landl o rd s. Thi s data is ana lyzed to arri ve at "average" ex penses incurred by most students. Student Self-Service Web Site Our Stud ent Self-Services Web (SISWEB) site (http://sisweb.cup.edu) gives you access to your own personal fu1an cial aid info rm ation. You can quickly rev iew an d decline your award offers onli.ne without returnin g any paper to our office.

To rev iew your 2008-09 financial aid awa rds, select "Award otification" from the "Financial Aid" menu and then select "Award Year 2009." Award Notification Califo rni a Unive rsity typically starts the awarding process in ea rl y April of each yea r. Ii you are an accepted freshman/ new student and we have received the results of your FA FSA by the date we begin our awarding cycle, you can ex pect to receive your Award otification by Apri l 1. Award notification information may also be accessed on the Student Self-Services Web site at: http://sisweb.cu p. edu . For students who have not bee n accep ted and/o r their FAFSA has not been received at the poin t the awarding process begins, our office will send an Award Notification to these stud ents throughout the yea r as their fil e becomes complete (accepted to the Uni versity and receipt of FAFSA record). Note: Only accepted students receive an Award Notification. Upper class award notifications wi ll be sent once we have received the results of your FAFSA and have determined that you are making Satisfactory Academic Progress for financial aid purposes (typically starting mid-May). Satisfactory Academic Progress In order to receive financial aid, you mu st make Satisfactory Acad emi c Progress (SAP) for financial aid purposes as defined by the Financial Aid Office. Our definition of SAP is different from the University's definition of being in good academic standing. Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) standard s include three elements: (1) maximum tim e frame within whicl1 a degree o r certificate must be granted, (2) minimum credit-hours earned per aca demic yea r, and (3) minimum cum ul ative grade point ave rage (GPA). The review of a student's Sa ti sfacto ry Academic Progress (SAP) standing occurs armually at the end of the spring semes ter. A stud ent's SAP standing will be based on his/her academic perfo rman ce during the academic yea r (fall and/or spring semeste r(s)). Students who are not makin g satisfactory academic progress are typ ica Lly notifi ed in early summer. A stud ent who is found defici ent in one o r more components is put on finan cial aid probation for the nex t school yea r. Students on financial aid probati on will be eli gible to receive federal Title IV financial aid ass istan ce during tl1is probationary period . Note: Students will not be granted financia l aid probation for two consecu ti ve academic yea rs. If a student is on probation for a year and is found defici ent, the student is ineligible to continue to receive financial aid for tl1e nex t school yea r. In order to be reinstated, the stud ent mu st successfull y achi eve the required grade point average as mandated by the SAP poli cy and/o r successfully make up his/her credit hour(s) deficiency at his/her own expense. Students may use the summer or any semester of the aca demic yea r to resolve their deficiencies. Students who make up their deficiencies mu st compl ete and return the Satisfacto ry Academic Progress Form, along w ith all required documents, to the Financial Aid Office befo re 28 clearing their deficiency status. Only successfull y ea rned credits, not grades, are transferable to California from another approved institution . All Title IV recipients have a right to appeal a financial aid suspension decision by submitting a SAP Appeal Form to the Financial Aid Office. Written explanation of the reason(s) why the student failed to meet the Satisfactory Academic Progress standards must be attached to the appeal form. Appeal forms are available in the Financial Aid Office. The deadline date for filin g an appeal for fall is October 3, 2008, and for spring, February 16, 2009. Students will be notified of a decision within 7 to 10 days after filing the appeal form. If the appeal is denied, a student may fil e a final appeal to the director of Financial Aid. This appeal must be fil ed within 10 working days from the date of the first deni al letter. Grants Grants are considered gift aid and do not have to be repa.id . Most grant aid is based on some type of need-based eligibility requirement; therefore, you must complete the FAFSA to apply for most grants. Sources of grants include federal, state, private, and institutional fund s. Although grants are a very desirable source of financial aid, the availability of grants is generally limited to the neediest stud ents. For more information about grants and other types of financial aid, call 1-800-4-FEDAID and ask for The Student Guide or read it on the Web at www.stud entaid .ed .gov/guide. Federal Pell Grants Federal Pell Grants are .awarded based upon the ana.lysis of the FAFSA, costof-attendance, and enrollment status (full-time or part-time). Pell Grants are awarded only to undergraduate students who have not earned a bachelor's degree o r professional degree. Pell Grants often provide a foundation of financial aid to which other aid is added for the needies t students. The U.S. Department of Education uses a standardized formula established by Congress to evalu ate the information you report on the FAFSA and produce an Expected Family Contribution (EFC) number. Your Student Aid Report (SAR) contains thi s number and will tell you if you are eligible for a Pell Grant. You can ge t a booklet ca Ued the EFC Formula Book, which describes how a student's EFC is calculated, by writing to: Federal Student Aid Programs P.O. Box 84 Washington, DC 20044 The Pell Grant for 2008-2009 will range from $890 to $4,731. The maximum Pell Grant award can change each year based upon congressional funding levels. Howeve r, if you are eligible for a Pell Grant based upon your EFC number, you are guaranteed to receive it. For the 2008-2009 school year, full-tim e students with an EFC from zero to 4,041 qualify for a Pell Grant awa rd . Those with an EFC greater than 4,041 are not eligible for a Pell Grant, but could be eligible for other types of aid . Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants The Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG) is for underg raduate students with exceptional finan cial need, i.e., stud ents with the lowest Ex pected Family Contribution (EFC). Preference is given to Pell Grant recipients who file their FAFSA by our first priority deadline of May 1 in o rd er to be con29 s id ered fo r this gran t; the refore, you should submit you r FAFSA by April 1 of the awa rd yea r. The FSEOG annual awa rd typica !Jy ran ges from $1000 to $1500. Academic Competitiveness Grant (ACG) An elig ible stud ent may receive an Academ ic Co mpetiti veness Gra nt (ACG) of $750 fo r the first acad emic yea r of s tudy and $1,300 for the second academi c yea r of stud y. To be elig ible for ead1 aca demic year, a stude nt mu st: • Be a U.S. citizen or eli gib le non citizen • Be a fed era l Pell Gran t recipient • Be enro lled a t least half-time in a d egree p rogram • Be enrolled in the first or second academic yea r of their p rogram of stud y a t a two-year o r four-yea r degree-g ranting ins tituti on • Ha ve co mpleted a ri gorous seco nd a ry srnoo l p rogram of stud y • Be 21 years of age o r younger • If a first-yea r s tud ent, not ha ve been previously enro lled in an und erg rad ua te program .

H alf-time enrollment is defin ed as six hours fo r undergradu a te stud ents and fi ve gradu a te hours fo r gradu ate stud ents. Federal Stafford Loan Program (Subsidized/Unsubsidized) The Federal Stafford Loan is a low-inte rest, fixed-ra te loan th at the stud ent borrows. The loan can be either subsid ized o r unsubsidized or a combinati on of bo th. ln ord er to qu ali fy for a subsidized loan, yo u mu st have fin ancial need. To de termine if you have financial need, your Expected Family Contribution, which is determined by the results of your FAFSA, is subtracted from the cost-ofedu ca ti on. Also, an y o th er aid tha t yo u are receiving or are ex pected to receive is subtracted from the cost-of- educa tion to dete rmine if you have any remaining 36 fin an cial need in order to quaLify fo r a Federal Subsidized Loan. If you do qu alify for a subsidized loan, the federa l gove rnment pays the interest on the loan, i.e., subsidizes the loan, while you are in school, d uring your six-month grace period prio r to repayment and during any authorized period of deferment. Students without finan cial need are eligible for the Federal Stafford Unsubsidized Loan. This mean s that yo u wi ll be responsible for the interes t on the loan fro m the time you receive the fund s until the loan is paid in fu ll. However, if you do not want to make interes t payments, you can choose to all ow the interest to accumulate, or accrue, on the loan while you are in school and during your six-month grace period before re pay ment. lf you decide to de lay interest repayment, the interes t that accumul ates will be "capitali zed, " that is, it wi ll be added to your loan principal when you begin repayment. This mean s your total loan principal will increase. It is better to pay the interest, if you can, beca use you will save money in the end. Howeve r, no t all students can afford to pay the interest w hile still in school and that is why you have the option of letting the interest accu mulate. To determine how much your interest pay ments wi ll be, please go to our Financial Aid Office home page and select "Financia l Aid Ca lculators." You will find an interest capitaliza ti on calculator to assist you determining what o ption is best for yo u.

Since these loans are not subsidized by the federal gove rnment, they are usuall y higher-cos t loans (hi gher inte rest rate) to the borro wer and should onl y be conside red as a last reso rt after all other finan cial aid op tions ha ve been ex plored. Most alterna ti ve loans require a cos igner; however, re paym ent of principal and interest may be deferred in most cases. If you a re interested in pursuin g a low-interest alterna ti ve edu ca ti onal loan, please apply online through one of the preferred altern ative lenders.

Disbursement of Financial Aid Crediting Financial Aid to a Student's Account In general, once a stud ent's finan cial aid award(s) has been fin alized (all requested form s received, ve rifi cati on co mpl eted, enrollment verified, and defa ult status reviewed ), the stud ent's semeste r awa rd amount(s) (except Federal Stafford Loan s and Fede ral Co llege Wo rk-Stud y) wi ll be credited to hi s/her account beginning with the second week of the semester. Fede ral Stafford Loan s wi ll also be credited to a stud ent's account once loan proceeds have been received and a ppropria te authoriza ti on (endorsement of loan check or EFT authorization) has been secured and all other eli gibili ty criteria have been sa ti sfi ed. Federal Coll ege Work-Study and instituti onal work-study fund s are disbursed bi-weekly to the student in the form of a payroll d 1eck based on the numbe r of hours worked during the pay pe ri od. How Registration Affects Financial Aid Eligibility Federal regu la ti ons and instituti onal guidelines require stud ents to be registered before any financia l aid monies can be disbursed. In addition, all federal and sta te financia l aid prog ra ms specify mininlum enro llment requirements in order for a s tud ent to receive any (m aximum o r partial ) assistance from these progra ms. These minimum enrollment requirements are broken into four enrollment class ifi ca ti ons: full-tim e, three-qu arter-tim e, half-time, and less-than-half-time. The chart below defin es the credit-hour requirements for ead1 of the fi ve federal aid a nd PHEAA grant prograrn.s as well as the pe rcentage of the maxinlum awa rd a stud ent ma y qu alify for und er all four enrollm ent classifications. 40 Financial Aid Enrollment Program Status Pell Gran t Full-time YES 3/4-tim e YES 75% 1/2-tim e YES 50% Less than-1 / 2-tim e YES VAR IES Fu ll-time YES 100% H 2- or 3/4-time YES VAR IES Less than 1/2-time NO NO AWARD Full-time to 1/2- time YES 100% PHEAA G rant Stafford Loa ns Eligible For Award 0 Less than 1/ 2-time Federa l SEOG and Perkins Loan Federal Wo rk-S tud y Award 100% NO AWARD Fu ll-time YES 100% 3/4-time to 1/2- time YES 50% 0 Less than 1/2-time Fed e ra l ACG a nd SMART G rant % of Maximum YES Full-time NO AWA RD 100% 3/4-time YES 75% 1/2-time YES 50% Less th an 1/2-time ,o NO AWARD Full- time to 1/ 2-tim e YES 100% Less than 1/ 2- tim e NO NO AWARD Note: Fede ral and s tate financial aid awa rds ma y be adjusted according to thi s chart for any s tudent w hose enrollm ent status (as defined above) changes before 60 percent of the enrollm ent period, e.g., fa ll or spring semeste r, or a s pecial summe r sess ion, has elapsed . Financial Aid Refund s Financial aid which exceeds the amount the student owes to the University (tuition/fees, Uni versity meal plans and room charges) will be disbursed to the stud ent in the form of a refund check to cove r non-institutional edu cational costs such as books and supplies, off-cam pus housing and transportation. Typica ll y, these refunds are mailed to eli gib le stud ents starting the second week of the se mester if the student ha s satisfied the eligibi li ty requ irem ents for each awa rd. Note: Even U1ough refund checks will be availab le starting the second week of the se mester, refund checks may be delayed or cancelled if you meet one or mo re of the fo ll owing: your federa l and /o r state aid has not been fina lized, you have no t enrolled for suffi cient credits, your Master Pro missory Note (MPN) was fil ed late, and/o r your MPN o r "Free Appli cation for Federal Student Aid" (FAFSA) is delayed at PHEAA and/o r federal processor due to missing or incorrect information. Financial Planning Students planning to attend California University of Pennsylvania should be aware U1at the cash from man y of the financial aid programs is not available unti l the second week of the semester for which the funds are intended. Students should p lan to come to the University with enough personal m oney for ea rly term purch ases (books, materials, art suppli es, etc.) w iU1ou t depending upon financi al aid fund s. 41 Maintaining Financial Ai d Eligibility - Satisfactory Aca demic Progress Policy Federal regulations require all institutions that adm iniste r Title [V stud ent assistance progra ms to monito r the academ ic progress toward a degree o r certifica te of those students a pplying for or receiving assistance from those program s. All California Unive rsity stud ents a ppl ying for Ti tle [V federa l ass istance mu st meet the standards stated in thi s poli cy, rega rdless of whether or not they prev iously received aid . The finan cia l aid programs governed by these regulati ons are as fo ll ows: l. Federal Pell Grant 2. Federa l Supplemental Ed ucational Opportuni ty Grant (SEOG) 3. Federal Academi c Co mpetitiveness Grant (ACG) 4. Federa l SMART Grant 5. Federal Perkins Loan 6. Federal Stafford Loan (Subsidi zed/U nsubsidized) 7. Fed era l Plus Loan 8. Federal Work-Study Satisfactory Acad emic Progress (SAP) stand ard s include three elements: • Maximum time fram e within which a degree or certificate mu st be granted, • Minimum cred it hours ea rned per academic yea r, and • Minim um cumul ative grad e point average (GPA). Review Period The rev iew of a stud ent' s Satisfactory Academ ic Progress (SAP) sta nding occurs ann uall y at the end of the spring se mester. A student's SAP standing will be based o n his/he r academic performance durin g the academic yea r [summer, fall and/or spring se mester(s)]. TypicaJJy, stud ents w ho are not making sa ti sfacto ry academi c progress are no tified by the end of May. Maximum Time Frame The max imum time fram e is defin ed as the required length of time it will take a stud ent to co mplete hi s/her degree. A stud ent w ill remain eli gible for federa l aid up to 150 percent of total attempted credits. For exa mple, if 120 credits is required to complete a bacca laureate degree, a stud ent wi ll remain eli gible for federal aid if he/she has attempted less th an 180 tota l credits (including transfe r cred its) toward that deg ree. Minim um Earned Credit Hours ln ord er to monito r a stud ent's progress towa rd completin g a degree, a measure of annual academic progress has been established . The Minimum Credit H ours Earned component requires students to successfully co mplete a minimum number of credits per aca demic yea r based on his/he r enrollment status. Students must ea rn the fo ll owing number of credit hou rs each yea r: If you are enrolled: Minimum Credit Hours Earned each year must be: Full-Time (12 credits or mo re) 24 42 If you are enrolled: Minimum Credit Hours Earned each year must be: Half-Time (6-11 credits) 12 Less th an Half-Time (5 cred its o r less) Must compl ete all credits attemp ted This chart was based on the assumption that the stud ent' s enrollm ent statu s will remain constant throu ghout the academic year. H owever, the total number of cred its a stud ent mu st ea rn each yea r wi ll differ if th e student's enrollment status varies ead1 semester. Minimum Cumulative Grade Point Average Each se mester th e University reviews the g rade point average (GPA) of each stud ent in order to determine whether the stud ent i maintaining good academi c standing. The Uni versity has established minimum grade point averages that stud ents must maintain in o rd er to achi eve good academic standin g. Listed below are the minimum grade point averages fo r each class level: Class Year Earned Credits GPA Freshm an 0-29 1.75 Sopho more 30-59 1.85 Juni or 60-89 1.95 Seni o r 90+ 2.00 * Students pursuin g an associate degree mu st have a 2.0 GPA in order to gradu ate. A stud ent wh o fai ls to meet minimum academ ic stand ards (requ ired GPA) as defin ed by the University wi ll be placed on acade mi c probation statu s for one semes ter. Stud ents are eligible to receive financia l aid during the probati on semester(s). At the end of the probation semester(s), a student mu st: 1. Achieve the required minimum grad e point ave rage (stud ent is removed from academic probation); or 2. Achieve at least a 2.0 grade point ave rage during the probati ona ry se mester (if this req uirement is met, the stud ent will co ntinu e o n academic probation). Academic Suspension Students who are academica lly dismi ssed a re considered ineli gible for Title IV federal aid . Howeve r, a stud ent who is academi ca ll y dismissed and is a pproved fo r read mission (throug h th e University's PASS prog ram o nly) wi ll be placed o n financial aid probation. During fin ancial aid probation, a stud ent is eli gib le to receive Title IV federal aid (see Financial Aid Probation secti on for ad ditional in fo rmatio n). Special Grades I (Incomplete): An incomplete grad e does not ea rn credit or influence the gra de point average in th e se mester in which the course work was taken. If an incomplete has been resolved and the stud ent has ea rn ed a passing g rade, the credit and gra de will be co unted towa rd satisfying the minimum credit hour standard s and g rade point ave ra ge requirements. 43 W (Withdrawal) : All withdrawa l categories do not ea rn credit(s) toward gradua- ti on o r towa rd sa tisfying the credit requirements of the SAP Policy. P (Pass): If thi s grade is awarded, the credits a ppl y towa rd gra du ation and to- ward sa tisfying the minimum earned credit hour stand ard s, but will not impact a stud ent's grade point ave rage. Repeated Co urses: For a course that has been repea ted, only the last grade earned is used in calcul ating the grade point average and th e credits are awa rd ed only for the semester in which it was repeated . Howeve r, each time a stud ent enrolls in a course, the course is counted as part of the maximum tim e fram e. Military Transfer Credits Ln most cases, military training and/or service school ex perience credits can be counted in the total credit hours ea rned by a stud ent for sa ti sfying the minimum credit hour progression requirement. However, the military training and/or service school ex perience will only be used in sa tisfying the minimum ea rned credit hour requirement during the student's first yea r of attendance at California University . PHEAA Grant Progress Standard Even though the PHEAA Grant is a non-Titl e IV aid program, the sa ti sfactory aca demic prog ress requirements for this program a re similar to the federal policy. For a stud ent to remain eli gible for a PHEAA Gran t, he/she must meet the fol lowing minimum ea rned credit hour standard after every two semesters of state grant assistance: Enrollment Status• Total Credits Earned per Year Fu ll-time (12 o r more cred its) 24 credits Part-time (6 to 11 credi ts) 12 credits For PHEAA Grant purposes, the re pea ted course(s) can be counted only once in meeting the 12 or 24 credit hours test. Note: A stud ent can onl y receive a max imum of 8 full-time o r 16 part-tim e semesters of PHEAA Gra nt assistance. Financial Aid Probation If a student fails to achieve the Satisfactory Academic Progress Standards dur- ing the rev iew peri od as outlined in thi s poli cy, the stud ent w ill be placed on financial aid probation. Students who fail to meet progress standards should refer to the "Financial Aid Suspension" section listed below. Students will remain on fin an cial aid probation for the next award year and will be eligible to receive federal Title IV financial aid assistance during thi s probationary period. Note: Students w ill not be g ranted financi al aid probation for two consecutive academic yea rs. Financial Aid Suspension If a stud ent fail s to achieve the minimum ea rned credit hour standard and/or the minimum grade point average upon the conclusion of a student' s financial aid probationary period, the student will be placed on fin anci al aid suspension. Students placed on financial aid suspension (progress) will become ineligible for future Title fV assis tance until the student' s SAP deficien cy is resolved. 44 Eligibility for Reinstatem ent In o rder to be reinstated, the student must successfully achieve the required grade point average as mandated by the SAP Policy and/or successfull y make up hi s/her credit hour(s) deficiency at hi s/he r own ex pense. The stud ent may use the summer o r any semester of the academic year to eliminate his/he r defi ciency. Students may take co urse work at another college or uni versity to resolve the minimum credit-hour deficiency, provided that the credits ea rned at that instituti on are transferab le to California University and the student's college dea n o r appointed designee has authorized the transient course work. Any stud ent who makes u p thei r cred it-hour defi ciency at an institution other than CaJjfornia Unive rsity mu st have an official tran script sent to the A rti culation and Transfer Office in o rd er th at the credits may be eva lu ated and added to the stud ent's reco rd . Stud ents who make up their defi ciency mu st complete and return the Satisfactory Academ ic Progress Form, along wi th all required documents, to the Financia l Aid Office before their deficiency status can be clea red . Note: Only successfull y ea rned credits, not grades, a re tran sferable back to Ca lifornia from another a pproved institution. Students can onl y improve their gra de point ave rage by takin g and successfully completing course work at Cali fornia Unjversity. Appeal Procedures Al l Title rv recipients have a right to appea l a financia l ai d suspension decision by submitting a "SAP Appeal Form" to the Financial Aid Office wi th a written exp lanati on of the reason(s) the stud ent fai led to meet the Satisfactory Academ ic Policy Standards. Appeal for ms a re ava il able in the Financia l Aid Office. The dead line date for fi ling an appea l is as fo llows: Term Dead line Summ er 2008 Ju ly 3, 2008 Fal l 2008 August 1, 2008 Spring 2009 January 2, 2009 Students will be officially notified wi thin 7 to 10 days after filin g the appeal for m. If the appeal is denied, final appea l mu st be made to the Director of Financia l Aid within 10 working days of the date of the denfal letter. Refund/Repayment Policies Refund Policy Students who officiall y withdraw from the Unjvers ity or fro m specific classes during the semester may be eli gible for a refund of a portion of the tuition, fees, room and board paid to Califo rnfa Unjversity for th at se mester. Refunds are based on the offi cial date of w ithdrawa l as recorded by the Academic Reco rd s Office (for add itional info rm atio n see "Withdrawal from the University" listed in the Acade mi c Po li cies section of the cata log) . Students w ho do not fo ll ow the offici al withdrawa l procedure but w ho stop attending classes for all of thei r courses w ill be considered to have w ithdrawn at the 50 percent point of the semester unless attend an ce is documented after th at time. 45 Return of Title IV Funds Formula Two fo rmulas ex ist fo r determining the amount of the reh111d : CaUfornia University's Refund Policy (fo r additional informati on see "Uni ve r ity Refund PoUcy" in Billing Section) and the federa l "Return of Title IV Aid" fo rmul a. The federal fo rmula is applica ble to any student receiving federal aid and withdraws from the University durin g the first 60 percent of a semes ter. These stud ents will have their federal fin ancia l aid (Pell Grants, Supplemental Ed uca tio n Opportunity Grants, ACG and SMART Grants, Perkins Loan s, Federa l Stafford and Plus Loans) adjusted based on the percent of the se mester co mpl eted befo re the w ithdrawal. ln essence, stud ents will be entitled to retain the sa me percent of the federal financial aid received as the percent of the semester completed. Thi s percent is ca lculated by dividing the number of days in the se mester (excluding breaks of five days o r longe r) into the number of days compl eted prio r to the w ithdrawa l (excluding brea ks of five days or longer). There wi ll be no adju stment to fed eral fin ancia l aid after the completi on of at least 60 percent of the se mes ter. If any refund remains after the required return of Title IV aid, the refund will be used to repa y California University hmd s, state grant fund s, and other private sources and the stud ent in proportion to the amount paid by each non-federal source, as long as there was no unpaid balance due at the time of w ithdrawal. If there is an unpaid ba lance, then all aid sources will be repaid befo re an y refund is paid to the stud ent. Distribution Policy Once the am ow1t of the federal h111d s to be returned has been calculated, the fund s will be returned to the appropriate program (s) in the fo ll owing priority o rd er: 1. Unsubsidized Stafford Loans 2. Subsid ized Stafford Loans 3. Pe rkins Loans 4. PLUS Loans 5. Pell Grant 6. Academic Co mpetiti veness Grant (ACG) 7. SMART Gra nt 8. Suppl emental Ed uca tional Oppo rtunity Grant Repayment of Unearned Financial Aid Assistance Students who receive a reh111d of financial ai d befo re withdra wing fro m the Uni versity may owe a repay ment of federal financial aid fund s received. Stu dents w ill be no tified by the Bursar's Office and wi ll be given 30 days to repay th e fund s to the University. Stu dents w ho fail to return the un ea rned portion of federa l financi a l aid fund s given to them w ill have a "hold " placed on their University reco rds, thereby preventing them fro m registering for future se mesters until re paym ent is made in full.

Stud ents who have interrupted their edu ca tion fo r mo re than one year are subject to the prov isions of the ca talog that are current at the tim e of their readmission to the Uni versity. The Uni versity rese rves the ri ght to change poljcies, cu rri culum requirements, and o ther p rov isions as needed. Academic Advising Facul ty ad viso rs are ava ilable to assist stud ents in planning their aca demi c progra ms, but stud ents have the responsibili ty fo r meeting all requirements fo r their degrees. Stud ents are urged to tak e ad vantage of the adviso ry and consultati on se rvices availab le at the Uni versity. They shoul d feel free to consult w ith professo rs, academi c ad visors, department d1afrp ersons, deans, staff of the Sciledulmg Center, and the Provos t. All of these Uni versity re presentati ves maintain regul ar offi ce hours fo r stu dent consultations. Semester System Ca li fo rni a Unj ve rsity o pera tes on a semester system, w ith spring and summer semesters of approximately 16 weeks (including a fin al exa min ati on week). In additi on, there is a summer term, typicall y incl uding a 10-week session and two fi ve-week sessions, whid1 run from June to August, and special sessions held in May and August. Course Numbering System Courses numbered 100 to 499 are und erg radu ate courses. Courses numbered 500 and above are g radu ate level courses. In ce rtain circumstances, und ergraduate stud ents are all owed to take graduate level courses fo r either und ergradu ate o r fo r graduate credit. Courses are generall y numbered in the fo ll owing way: 100-199 Freshm an level 200- 299 Sophomore level 300 - 399 Junior level 400 - 499 Senio r level Credits Credit for course work is reco rd ed in cred it hours. Fo r most courses, one credit hour represents one class meeting per week. Fo r labo ratory classes, the rati o may differ from one de partm ent to another, but usuaUy two or three hours of laborato ry wo rk are worth one credit hour. A full-tim e und erg radu ate student is one who is taking 12 o r more credits. A student takjng fewer than 12 credits is considered a part-time stud ent. Only registered course work in a given term is counted toward a student's full- o r part-time statu s fo r that term. The work that a stud ent mi ght need to do fo r an ln complete fro m a previous term w ill not count towa rd a stud ent's full- or part-time statu s fo r the current term. Students ex pecting to progress from one class to the nex t on an armual basis and gradu ate in fo ur yea rs should complete an average of 30 credits per year, o r 15 credits per semester. so Grading System Ca lifornia Uni ve rsity uses the fo llowing grading sys tem for all courses: Grade Quality Points per Credit Interpretation Superi or Attainment A 4 A- 3.67 B+ 3.33 B 3 B- 2.67 C+ 2.33 C 2 C- 1.67 Above Ave rage Avera ge D Below Avera ge F 0 Failure AU No t calcul ated Audit Not ca lculated In compl ete IF 0 Inco mplete Failure p Not ca lCLdated Passing w wx Not ca lcul ated Offi cial Withdra wa l Not ca lculated Administrative Withdrawa l uw No t ca lculated Unoffi cial Withd ra wal Quality Poin t or Grade Poin t Average To calcu late a quality point avera ge (QPA) or grad e point ave ra ge (GPA), divide the total number of quality points earned in regul ar courses at thi s University by the total number of graded credit hours (QHR). In co mputin g the QPA, the fo llowing courses and credits are no t included : courses and credits transferred from o th er instituti ons, ad van ced place ment cou rses, courses passed by exa min ati on, courses in whicl1 a P grade was ass igned, CLEP credi ts, credits gra nted fo r mil itary service, o r other credits ea rned through Prio r Lea rning Assessment (PLA). If a stud ent repea ts a course, only the repea t grade is co unted. Altho ugh developmental cou rses do not count towa rd g raduati on, the credits ea rned in them are used in determining a stud ent's QPA. Appealing a Grade or Other Academic Decisions Uni versity decisio ns are based upo n appli ca ble poli cies, ra ti onal procedures, and so und decision-makin g principles. Conce rning a stud ent's grade, it must be und erstood that it is no t the policy of the administrati on to m an ge a properly assigned g rade - that is, one based upon record ed g rades for qui zzes, exa ms, assignments, projects, and other gra de criteri a as indica ted o n the course syll abus o r outline. However, when a student alleges violati ons of sound aca demi c grading proced ures, the Uni versity admini stration an d facu lty mutu all y suppo rt a 51 stud ent appeal procedure that gives both the stud ent and the facul ty member a fair process to substantiate an d/o r refute those all egations. In a ppealing a g rade, a stud ent should first conta ct the facul ty member who issued that grad e to discuss the reason fo r the g rad e. lf the stud ent is not sa ti sfi ed w ith the facul ty member's ex planation, the stud ent should then contact the faculty member's de partment chairperson. Thjs co ntact must be in w riting and mu st be fil ed w ith the chajrperson w ithin 30 wo rking d ays after the beginrung of the fall o r spring semes ter foll o wing the term in whi ch the grad e in qu estio n was given. The chairperson shall notify in w ritin g the student and facul ty member of rus/he r findin gs and decision w ithin 15 wo rkin g d ays of hi s/he r receipt of the appeal fro m the stud ent. If accord is not reached th roug h the chairperson, the stud ent may then a ppeal to the college dean . Such an appea l mu st be in w riting and mu st be fil ed with the dea n w ithin 15 wo rking days fro m the date of the fin al written determin ation of the chairperson. The dean shall notify in w riting the student and fac ulty member of hi s/h er findin gs and decision witrun 15 wo rking days of 11-is/her receipt of the appeal fro m the stud ent. The fin al source of a ppeal is th e Provost. Thjs fin al step should be taken onl y if there is no possi bili ty fo r resolution at an ea rlier stage, and onl y if the stud ent is convinced th at arbitrary and/o r capricious stand ards we re a pplied. The appeal to the Provos t mu st be in writing and must be fil ed w ith the Provos t witrun 15 wo rking days from the d ate of the final written determinati on of the dean. The Provost shall review the matter and take action as necessa ry to prov ide equity in the situati on. In the case of o th er aca demi c decisions, the stud ent sho uld foll o w the sam e appeal procedure insofar as possible. In matters relating to stud ent condu ct and discipline, the Vi ce President fo r Stud ent Development has auth ori ty to rev iew stud ent a ppeals. In matters relatin g to fin an cial aid, see the secti on on Financial Aid in thjs ca talog; in matters relating to tead1er certification, see the relevant secti on in tlus ca talog; and in matters relating to transfer credits, contact tl1e Articul ation and Tra nsfer Offi ce as the fi rst point of contact, and fo ll ow the sam e appeal procedure as listed above. Cheating and Plagiarism: Academic Integrity Truth and honesty are necessa ry prerequisites for all education, and stud ents wh o attempt to imp rove their grades or class stan ding throu gh an y fo rm of academi c dishonesty may be penali zed by di sciplinary acti on, ranging from a ve rbal re primand to a fa iling g rade in the course or dismissa l from the University. If the situ ation a ppea rs to merit a seve re penalty, the p ro fesso r will refer the matter to the a ppropriate dean o r to the Provost. The stud ent may a ppea l tl1e penalty as outlined above with the Academi c Integrity Co mmittee hearing a ppeals above th e level of dea n. Class Attendance Regu lar class attend an ce is a prerequ isite to su ccessful class perfo rman ce. Uruversity poli cy permits class absence for ca use, but places an obliga ti on for successful completion of course wo rk on the stud ent. There is no sin gle, Universitywid e policy on cl ass attend ance o r on cuts; but professors may establish their parti cular poli cies on absences, assess reaso nable penalties if stud ents do not obse rve these poli cies, and trea t unex plained absences as unexcused absences. The stud ent mu st, in all cases, arrange to make up exa minati ons o r other work 52 missed because of absence, according to terms and a schedu le agreea ble to the professors. It is th e stud ent's responsibility to inform professors of the cause of any absence, if possible, in advance. Students should notify the Dean of Students of lengthy absences due to illness or other causes, and appropriate documentation is required in such cases. The dean will in turn notify the professors concerned. Requests for absence du e to official University activities, such as field trips o r athletic contests, mu st be made to the appropriate University offi cial. The Hea lth Center does not issue medical excuses. Under ce rtain ci rcumstances the Health Center will notify professors about stud ents' absences (or other failure to fu lfill academic obligations) due to med ical conditi ons; on the basis of this notifica tion, indiv idu al professors in turn will determine whether or not to excuse the absences. Good Academic Standing Students who achieve the minimum Quality Point Average (QPA) o r Grade Point Average (QPA) for their class rank as follows are in good aca demic sta nding: Class Rank Number of Credits QPA Freshman (1-29) l.75 Sopho mo re (30-59) 1.85 Junio r (60-89) 1.95 Senior (90 o r more) 2.00 All ea rned credits, including transfer credits and other adva nced standing credits that have been officially acce pted, are counted in determining a student's class rank. AIJ Quality Hours (QHRS) at California University are used in determining a stud ent's QPA. Students who do not achieve the minimum QPA fo r their class rank wi!J be su bject to Academic Probation or Academic Dismissal. Satisfactory academi c progress is req uired for continued eligibi lity for financial aid . Academic Proba tion A stud ent whose tota l number of "attempted" credits (AHRS) has reached o r exceeded 12 and whose overaJI QPA is below the specified minimum for hi s or her class rank wil l be placed on Academic Probation. Students on Academic Probation must agree to sa ti sfy additio nal req uirements during the probationary semes ter. Students o n Academic Probation who: • Attain the minimum overa ll QPA for thei r class rank and satisfy other requirements w ill be removed from Academic Probation, o r • Attain a 2.00 QPA during the probationary semes ter and sa tisfies other requirements but fail to attain the minimum overall QPA for their class rank will be permitted to return to the University on Continuing Academic Probation, or • Do not attain the overall QPA for their class rank and do no t achieve a 2.00 QPA for the probationary semester or fail to sa tisfy other req uirements will be dismissed from the University. 53 Academic Dismissal The University rese rves the right to refuse the pri vilege of furth e r attendance to students w ho have fa il ed to meet minimum academi c requirements. if a stud ent's cumulati ve grade point average remain s below the required minimum after a proba tionary semester, the te rm grade point average during a probationary semester is below 2.00, and the student fails to meet other req uirements, he or she wi ll be dis missed from the Unive rsity. Incomplete Grades An Inco mplete (I) is ass igned when a professor is convinced the s tude nt can co mple te or make up work. Faculty membe rs may submit a final grade based on work completed and not accept late work. Howeve r, when a ppropriate ex plana tion and docu mentation of an illness are g iven, professo rs will not penali ze stud ents if mak eups a re possible or if grading on work compl eted is reasonable. After the required work has been completed, the professor will submit a Change of Grade fo rm to the Academic Reco rd s Office. The stude nt, however, is responsible for contacting the professo r rega rding arrangements that should be made to co mple te the work for the course. (Stud ents are not required to register for the cou rse aga in.) 1f the required work is not compl eted wi thin one calend ar year, the Incomple te g rade will be converted to I-F. This conve rsion wi ll occur even if the stude nt has not bee n enroll ed at the University during thi s ca lendar year. The 1-F g rade is consid e red in the computation of the stude nt' s g rade po int average as an F gra de. Stude nts who w ish to ha ve an ex tension of the time allowed to co mpl ete the wo rk mu st obtain approval from the dea n of their college. Graduating seni ors mu st resolve their lncomple te g rad es by the las t day of classes of the te rm in wh ich they inte nd to grad uate. Otherwise, these ln co mple tes immediately become I-F's, a nd grad uati on ma y be co rres ponding ly affected. The work that a s tud ent needs to do du ring one term for an Incompl ete from a prev ious te rm wi LI no t cow1t towa rd a stud ent' s full- o r part-time statu s fo r the current term . Grade Reports At th e end of each semester and summ er session, grade repo rts a re avai lable to stud ents onLine. A grad e report w ill not be ava il able if a stud ent's academi c record s have been sea led . Midterm g rad es are also reported an d a re ava il able onJi.ne. Transcripts Transcripts are issued by the Aca de mic Records Office, Dixo n Hall. Each transcript costs $3, and payment mu st be received before the transcript is issued. Checks a nd money ord e rs should be made paya ble to Ca lifornia University of Pe nnsylvani a. All tran scri pts are issued accord ing to the provisions of the Fami ly Education Ri ghts and Pri vacy Act of 1974 as a mend ed : See also the secti on on Confid entiality of Records in this catalog. A requ est fo r a tran script mu st be made in writing to ensure that aca demi c information is not imp roperly di sclosed. Tele phone requ ests for transcripts can.n ot be hono red . The reques t may be made by compl eting a form in the Academic Reco rds Office or by writing a letter to that office indicating (a) the number of transcripts required, (b) the type of transcripts required (i.e., und erg raduate, g radu ate, o r both), and (c) the name and address of the person or institution 54 w here the transcript should be sent. Transcripts w ill not be issued to a third party without the written consent of the stud ent. If a tran script is issued to a student, a notation to that effect appears on the transcript. Tran scripts marked in this manner are sometimes not considered official when presented to a third party by the stud ent. Transcripts are issued as quickly as possible, but in busy peri ods of the aca demi c yea r, there may be so me dela y. Requests shou ld, th erefore, be made well before the transcript is due elsew here. No transcript will be issued to a stud ent whose financial obligations to the University have not been met in hill. Registration Eligibility to Register All students who have been admitted to the University and who are in good aca demic, fin an cial, and disci plinary standing are eligible to register. Enrollment and Matriculation A stud ent seeking a degree or credit certifi ca te from California University is considered a matriculated student and mu st meet the gra du ati on or completion requirements for their declared majo r or program. An individu al who enrolls for classes but is not seeking a degree or credit certifi ca te from Ca lifornia University is considered a non-d egree student. A non-d egree student wishing to matriculate into a deg ree or credi t certificate prog ram mu st sa tisfy admi ssion req uirements for that program. Registration Procedures Registration for an upcomin g semester may be co mpleted durin g the registration periods identifi ed and announced each se mester. Specific information and instru ctions for registratio n are di stributed throug h co llege e-mail announce ments. Registration includes aca demic advising, scheduling courses, and payment of tuition and fees. Prior to scheduling classes, stud ents should meet with their academic advisor to discuss their progress and develop a schedul e fo r the upcoming semeste r. Entering a student's schedule into the University's registration system crea tes a financial obliga ti on by the stud ent to the University, and students who do not make payment arran gements by the du e date may have their semester sched ul es canceled. Credit Overload During the fa ll and spring se mesters, hill-time stud ents may regis ter for 18 credits without special permission. Students wishing to register for 19 or more cred its must obtain written permission from thei r advisor and the dean of their co llege. Only in exce ptional circumstan ces will a student be allowed to register for more than 21 credits. Additional tuition and fees are charged for all credits in excess of 18. During the summ er term, stud ents may registe r for 6 credits in an y one session or 18 credits fo r the summer without special permi ssion. Degree-seeking students w ishing to register for additio nal credits during the su mmer terms mu st obtain written permi ssion from the dean of their co llege, and non-degree students wishing to register fo r additional credits mu st obtain permi ssion from the director of the Summer School Program . Stud ents are charged tuition an d fees on a per-credit basis fo r all courses durin g the summer. 55 Admission to a Closed Section A student seeking admission to a closed secti on should obtain a schedule adjustment fo rm and consult w ith the instructor o r chairperson of the de partment that offers the course. Admi ssion to a closed secti on requires the signature of the instru ctor or de partment chair and the dean of the college that offers the course. Repeating a Course A student may repea t a course previously tak en at Cali fo rni a Uni versity. ln such cases, only the later grad e will be counted in the stud ent' s QPA. The o ri gin al grade, however, w ill remain on the stud ent' s transcript. Some courses may be repea ted fo r credit and are exe mpt fro m thi s poli cy. Auditing a Course Stud ents may audi t a course w ith the und erstandin g that they will receive neither a grade nor credit fo r the course. The course w ill be listed on the stud ent's tran script without affecting the QPA. Once a course is registered fo r audit, it cannot be converted back to a credit course. Stud ents may register to audit a course according to the fo ll owing schedul e: 15 week session - w ithin the first 6 weeks 5 week session - w ithin the first 2 weeks 10 week session - w ithin the first 4 wee ks Aud it courses are billed at the same ra te as courses taken fo r credit. Audit fo rms are ava ilable in the Academi c Record s Office, Dixon Hall. Credit by Examination/Course Challenges Students may ea rn credit fo r a course by passing an examin ati on rather than taking the course. 1n o rd er to do so, the stu dent mu st obtain permi ssion from the chairperson of the de partm ent that offers the course and the dean. The stud ent must register fo r the course and pay tuiti on and fees fo r the course. Once a stu dent registers to chall enge a course, it ca nno t be converted back to a regul ar course. Students may register to challenge a course according to the fo llowing schedul e: 15 week session - w ithin the first 6 wee ks 5 week session - w ithin the first 2 weeks 10 week session - w ithin the first 4 weeks Onl y grad es of P (Pass) o r F (Fail) will be reco rd ed, and the course w ill be furth er identified on the stud ent' s tran script by the symbol CE. A passing grade does not affect the QPA; however, a fai ling grade w ill lower the QPA. Ea rned credits w ill count toward gradu ation. Course challenge fo rm s may be obtained in the Academic Reco rd s Office, Di xon Hall. Schedule Adjustments (Add/Drop) Class schedules may be ch anged during the add/d rop peri od an d are governed by the fo ll owing regulations: • Pri or to making schedule adjustm ents, students should consult w ith their academic ad visor to discuss ho w the adjustment will affect their academi c progress. • Courses may be added during the first week of classes during the fall and spring semesters and during the first day of a summer term. Adding a course may require the signature of the instru cto r, de partm ent chair, and/or college dean . 56 • No student is permitted to drop a course: during the last three weeks o f a se mester; during the last two weeks of a five-week summer term; or during the last three weeks o f a 10-week summer term. • Ceasing to attend class d oes no t constitute official withdrawal. • Stud ents mu st officially drop a course. Leaving a course without officia lly dropping it m ay result in the assignment of an F grad e by the professor. If the professor does not assign a gra d e, the d es igna ti on of UW (unauthorized withdrawal) wi ll be assigned by the registrar. • Students w ho drop below full-tun e (less th an 12 credits) or to less th an ha lf-time (less than 6 cred its) should contact the Financial Aid Office prior to co mple ting the drop . Withdrawal from the University An und e rgradu ate student who d ecid es to withdraw from the University during an y academi c term, rega rdless of the reason, mu st contact the Academic Records Office immed iately. All withdrawals are governed by the following regulations: • An honorable dismissal is granted to a stu d en t who w ithdraws fro m the Univers ity in the officia l manner, has me t all financial obliga ti ons to the University, and has been properly cleared by the registra r. • If the stud ent withdraws o ffi ciall y during the 12 weeks of a semester, a W g rade is recorded fo r ea d1 course schedul ed . AW gra de ca rries no aca d emic pena lty and is not counted in the student's QPA . For an official withdrawal from a five-week session, W g rad es will be record ed during the first two weeks only . • No student is permitted to w ithd raw offi cially from the University during the last three weeks of a se meste r or s ummer term . • Leaving the University without notifying the Academic Records Office and mak ing an official w ithdrawa l may resurt in automa tic fai lure for all courses scheduled. It a lso makes the stud ent inelig ible for refund of tuiti on and fees and may affect aca de mi c s tatu s and finan cia l aid . Improper wi thdrawa ls will be classified as un auth orized withdrawal and the d esign ati on UW used for a ll registe red courses, if an other g rad e has not alread y been ass igned by the professor. • Students pl anning on withdrawing from the University should consult with the Finan cia l Aid Office prior to completing the withdrawa l process. Administrative Withdrawals The Uni versity admini stration has the authority to withdraw a stud ent from the University and to revoke that stud ent's registration at any time fo r the following reasons: • Registration in violation of University regul a ti ons (e.g., academi c ineligibility to register). • Failure to comply with aca de mic requirements (e.g., tmsa tisfacto ry class attend ance, violation of the learning contract for s tud ents on aca demic p robation, etc.). • Fa ilure to pay Uni ve rs ity tuiti on and fees by the due d a te. • Disciplinary suspension or dismissal for the remainder of an aca de mi c term or longer. • Severe psychol og ica l or health proble ms sucl1 that the student cannot be permitted to continu e in a ttendance. • Other reasons d eemed appropriate by the prope r administrative office r. A g rade WX is reco rd ed for Administrative Withdrawals. The grad e of WX is not co mputed in the stud ent's grade point average and, therefore, in volves no academic penal ty. The registrar must authorize the recording of this grad e. If a stud ent registers in viola ti on of the academic eligi bility rule, the registration is declared invalid, the tuition and fees pa id by the s tud ent are rehmd ed in full, an d no gra des are recorded. 57 1n other cases of Ad ministrative Withdrawa l, the date of the w ithdrawal an d the reason for the wi thdra wal are used to dete rmine the grade to be recorded and the a mount of tuiti on a nd fees to be assessed or ca nceled. 1n most cases, the regul ar tuiti on and fee assess ment and refLmd poli cies of the Unjve rsity prevail. For Administrati ve Withdrawa ls during the firs t six weeks of a se meste r or two weeks in a fi ve-week summe r sessio n, the grade of WX is recorded for all courses on a stu dent' s sd1ed ul e. o other grades, such as Lncom plete, a re assigned . The registrar has the a uth ority to anteda te an Admini strati ve Withdrawa l if ci rcums tances warrant sud 1 action. Disciplina ry sus pensions or dismi ssa ls a re initia ted by the appropria te autho rity in the Office of Stud ent Development and written notifica tion is sent to the Academjc Records O ffi ce, whjch cancels the stud ent' s registrati on and no tifies other admini strative offices and facul ty membe rs as necessa ry. If facul ty members have reason to inquire about a specific case of Administrative Wi thdra wal, they should consult the registrar o r the Provost. In certain cases, the stud ent's ri ght to confidenti ali ty may not permjt fu ll d isclosure of the circumstances. Readmission to the University Stud ents who w ish to return afte r an absence of three consecuti ve te rms and are in good standin g with the University mu st app ly for readmj ssion to the dean of the undergrad uate co llege in w ru cli they w i11 be enroLled fo ll ow ing their readrnission. ln cases of Academ ic Dismissa l, read rni ssion to the Univers ity is not a utomatic. Students w ho ha ve been dismi ssed for unsa tisfactory academ ic perfo rmance w ill be considered for read mi ssion onl y if they have sa tisfied the conditi ons for read mjssion that were s tipul a ted a t the time of their dismi ssa l. Stud ents who have been acadernically dis missed must app ly for readmission throu g h the Office of Student Retention. Any student w ho has been academically di sm issed w ill be denied Title rv financia l assistance (federal grants, loan s, and stud ent empl oy ment). Therefore, if read rnitted, s tud e nts must attend without the benefit of Title rv financial rud until the req uired minimum QPA for the ir class rank and/or the co mpl eti on of the minimum credit-hour stand ard have been aclueved. Exceptions may be considered for stud ents on financia l aid probation or who have fil ed a Satisfactory Aca demi c Progress (SAP) appeal (please refer to the Sati sfacto ry Aca derni c Progress poli cy sta te ment issued by the Office of Financial Aid). In the case of Disciplinary Suspensions or Dismissals, students mu st satisfy the conditions for readrnjssion th a t were stipulated at the time of their dismissal and receive pe rmission from the Vice President fo r Stud ent Development to return to the Uni versity . Ap plica tions for read mission should be submitted a t leas t one week before the registra ti on date fo r the term in w hjd1 the stud ent desires to enroll . Form er students will not be readmitted to the LJnjversity until all past ind eb tedness has been prud. Academic Forgiveness Policy Academi c Forgiveness is intended for the student who is returning to the University w ith a grade point deficiency and who has no t been enro ll ed at 58 Ca li fo rnia University of Pennsylvan ia fo r fo ur consecutive academic yea rs. The stud ent ma y requ est aca demi c fo rgiveness fo r up to two complete semesters of aca demi c course wo rk. Academi c Forgiveness alJows fo r courses successfu lly co mpleted with a Dor better to retain academic credit; however, the grade points w ill be removed from calculati on of grad e point average. Award in g of Academic Forgiveness does not absolve the stud ent from compl eti on of specific aca demi c progra m requirements, for exa mple, g rades of C or better in courses for an educa ti on major. No g rad es will (no rm all y) be removed from the permanent reco rd. Acade mi c Fo rgiveness w ill be granted onl y once for an y student, and forgiveness ex tended by Ca li forn ia University of Pen.nsylvanfa may not be recognized by other academi c institutions to w hich the stud ent may tran sfer. The Uni versity registrar w ill give consideration fo r Academic Forgiveness when a signed written req uest is received. All stud ents req ues ting Academic Forgiveness mu st ea rn at leas t a 2.0. GPA during the first 12 cred it ho urs of course work attem pted at Ca lifornia University of Pennsylva nia after read mission. College Level Examination Program (CLEP) The Uni versity offers the opportunity to ea rn und erg raduate credit throu gh the College Level Exa minati on Program (CLEP), w hi ch has two tes tin g ca tego ries: the General Exa minati on and the Subject Exa min ati on. The General Exam ination is a se ri es of tests in five separate areas: English Composition, Natura l Sciences, Mathemati cs, Hum aniti es, and Social Science/History. A student may ea rn up to 30 credits by pass ing the appropriate tests in these areas. The Su bject Exam ination comprehensively tes ts a single subject, such as General Psychology, Stati sti cs, etc. A student who passes one of these exa minati ons is awarded credit for a comparable course at the University. The CLEP progra m is administered by the Adv ising and Placement Testing Center and the So uthpointe Center. There is a o ne-time fee of $25.00 for evalu ati on of the CLEP results and reco rding the res ults on the stud ent's transcripts. Undergraduate Credit for Graduate Courses Und erg raduate stud ents may enroll in gra duate courses for undergradu ate credit if they mee t the necessa ry requirements for those co urses. Indi vidu al de partments determine the prerequi sites fo r each course. Gra du ate status may be a prereq ui site for admi ssion to so me co urses. Graduate cred its used to fulfiLI und ergra du ate req uirements may not also be used to fulfill req uirements in a g raduate progra m. Graduate Credit Load for Seniors Und ergraduates who are in their last term o n ca mpus and who are completin g o r ha ve co mpleted all the requirements fo r their undergraduate degree may en ro ll in g raduate classes for gradu ate credit. They mu st fu lfi ll all req uirements for entrance into Gra du ate School (other th an the und ergrad uate degree o r teaching ce rtifi ca ti on). Transfer Credits Current Ca li fo rni a Uni versity stud ents who w ish to take courses at so me other co llege or uni ve rsity to transfe r back to Ca li fornia University, should ge t a ppro va l to do so from their adviso r and from the dea n of their college at Ca lifornia Uni ve rsity before registering fo r and taking such courses. Stud ents seeking to_ transfer cred its to Ca li fornia University should no te the fo llowing guide lines and should refe r transfer credit qu estio ns to the Arti cul ation and Transfe r Evaluation Office: 59 • Transfer credits are usuall y determined by their equi val ency to Ca li fornia University courses. • Onl y co urses in w hich a grade of C or better is ea rned w ill transfer unless a student qualifies und er the Academic Pass port Poli cy (See Aca demi c Passpo rt Policy in the Admi ssions secti on of thi s catalog.) • Credits transfer, but grades and quali ty points do not. Transfe r credits cannot raise a stud ent's QPA; therefo re, do not take repeat courses at another instituti on. • Courses taken at a co mmunity college, the equivalents of which are des ign ated as upper-level courses at Cali fornia, may tran sfer only as electives rather than eq ui va lents to courses offered at California Univers ity. Dual Majors, Second Majors, Second Degrees, and Dual Degrees Ca li fo rni a University g rants the fo ll owing und ergraduate degrees: B.A., B.S., B.S. in Education, B.S. ., and A.S. and A.A.S. (All except the last two are four-year, baccalaureate degrees. ) These are referred to below as degree areas. A distin cti on is drawn between the following objectives and opportunities and between the mean s to achieve them: (1) Dual Major, (2) Second Major, (3) Second Degree; and (4) Dual Degree. These opportuniti es, as ex plained below, are the onl y ones offered. The University will, for example, awa rd onl y one degree fro m any degree area . None of these opportunities should be co nfused with an y certifi ca ti on progra ms, such as th ose in Teacher Educa tion. A Dual Major is the pursu.it of two se parate bacca laurea te majo rs in the sa me degree area simultaneously. These majors may be in a single department o r two departments, and each must be reco rd ed in the appropriate d ean' s office. Courses from one majo r area may be used to sa tisfy requirements in the o ther major. Both majors are reco rd ed on the transcript, but all requirements for each majo r mu st be sa tisfi ed befo re the degree is conferred, and o nl y one degree is conferred. A Second Major may be pursued after the completi on of a bacca laurea te degree from an y regionally accredited institution-incl uding Califo rnia University of Pennsylvani a-when the seco nd major must be in the same degree area as the first. A second majo r does not lead to a second degree. The prospective student mu st apply throu gh the Office of Admissions and register with the intenti on of pursuing a seco nd major. Transfer credits from other schools and prio r credits from Cali fornia Uni ve rsity of Pennsylvani a ma y be used to sa ti sfy courses for this second majo r. Since a bacca laurea te degree ha s already bee n ea rned, all General Education requirements w ill be considered sa tisfi ed, but any courses in the majo r no t yet ea rned must be fu lfill ed. There is no minimum number of credits necessa ry to obtain this second majo r. The comp leti on of thi s second majo r wi ll th en be noted on the transcript. All departmental, college, and Uni ve rsity standards for thi s major must be ad,ieved. Note: Stud ents seekin g a second majo r after graduating with a bad, elor' s degree are not eli gible fo r financial aid as per fe deral Title rv gu idelines. A Second Degree may be pursued after the compl eti on of a bacca laureate degree from any regionall y acc redited instituti on - including California University of Pennsylva nia - when the seco nd deg ree area is different than tl1e first. The prospecti ve stud ent must a ppl y throug h the Office of Admissions and register with the intenti on of pursuing a second degree. Transfer cred its from other schools and prio r credits from California University may be used to satisfy courses fo r this second degree. Since a baccalau rea te degree has alread y been ea rned, al l General Education requirements will be considered sa tisfi ed. ALI remaining courses in the majo r not ye t ea rned mu st be fulfill ed in o rd er to grant the second 60 deg ree. All departmental, college, and University requirements for this degree must be achi eved . No te: The University will not awa rd an associate degree to a stud ent who holds a baccalaurea te deg ree in the sa me area .) A Dual Degree (baccalaureate) is the simultaneo us pursuit of two degrees in different degree areas. Courses from one major area may be used to sa ti sfy requirements in the other major; however, a minimum of 150 credits mu st be accumulated in o rd er for both degrees to be award ed . All de partm ental, college, and University requirements for the two degree areas must be sa ti sfi ed . There will be one tran script with both deg ree areas reco rded. Graduation Requirements Students should beco me acquainted with the Graduation Requirements for their program of study. Students are responsible for meeting all Graduation Requirements and for submitting the requ ired forms on time. Compliance with the following general policies and procedures will help students pre pare for graduation: • The period durin g which applica tion for graduation must be mad e is posted throug hout ca mpu s and printed in the California Times. Students must appl y for grad uation in the a ppropriate dean 's office by the deadline. All credentials for grad uati on, including an application for a teaching certificate where appropriate and tran scri pts of cred its from other institutions, mu st be submitted on time.

Each of these di vis ions is administered by a dean w ho is res ponsible fo r the o peration of the college o r sd100 I. 1n add ition, University College, Lifelong Learning and the Evening-Weekend College, and the Southpointe Center prov ide specialized programs an d servi ces to distinct stud ent populati ons. The College of Education and Human Services The College of Edu ca ti on and Human Services is composed of the depa rtm ents of Aca demic Development, Co mmunica tion Disorders, Counselor Edu ca tion and Se rvices, Elementary and Early Childhood Education, Health Science and Sport Stud ies, Secondary Edu ca tion, Social Work, and Special Education. Teacher edu ca ti on programs are offered throu gh the departments of Elementary and Earl y Childhood Education, Secondary Education, Special Edu ca tion and through the de partment of Applied Engineering and Technology in the Eberly College of Science and Tedmology. The depa rtments of Academic Develo pment Services, Communi cation Disorders, Health Science and Sports Studies, and Social Wo rk and Gero ntology fo rm the human services component of the College. Counselo r Education and Services offe rs progra ms leading to gradu ate degrees and to elementary and second ary COLmselor certificati on. Teacher Education Program Cali fo rni a Uni ve rsity has a long and distinguished histo ry of prepa ring teachers for the schools of the commonwealth wi th nearly 30,000 teacher ed uca ti on alumni. The College of Edu catio n and Human Services has developed and maintained a re putation of exce Ll ence in the prepara tion of tead1ers. Beca use of its accreditation by NCAT E and the Commonwealth of PA, and its requi rement of the PRAX1S I (Pre-Professional SkiLl s Test) and PRAXIS II (Content Knowledge) teacher certifi ca tion exa min atio ns, California's grad uates are able to ob tain teacher certifi ca tion in most sta tes in the United States. California University has been given a snapshot of where it stand s in comparison to o ther colleges and uni ve rsities in the commonwea lth th at pre pare teachers. The compari so n data is based on the number of students who co mpleted all the academi c requirements of the College of Education's programs in elementary, ea rl y childhood, second ary, technol ogy and special education from Se ptember 2006 to August 2007, totaling 290 stud ents. The Educational Testing Se rvice (ETS) released info rm ation to all teacher preparation institutions rega rding the HEA Title II repo rt. Whil e the data uses a statew ide coho rt for comparisons, ETS plainly no ted, " Within th e sa me state, compari sons made between institutions are equall y unsubstanti ated beca use each instituti on prepares stud ents fo r different li censes util iz ing different tes ting requirements." There are other factors that impact o n percentages, including the number of students taking specific tests, so that the size of the tested populati on is very impo rtant. California had 100 percent of its teacher preparati on students pass the bas ic skills portions of the PRAXIS I (Pre-Professional Skills Test-PPST) and the Fund am ental Subjects Content Knowledge exa m. These exams test general knowledge and communication skills. It should be noted that the College requires all studen ts w ho wish to continue in teacher edu ca tion to pass the PRAXIS I exa ms before they can be admitted to teacher edu ca tion. 65 The PRAXIS II exam tests specialty areas. In the aca demi c special ty areas of math, English, biology, social studies, French, Spanish, physics, science, elementary, and ea rly childhood, 207 out of the 207 Cali fornia University students who took the tes ts, passed them for a pass rate of 100 percent. The statew ide rate was 96 percent. In technology education, 38 out of 38 students passed the exam for a 100 percent pass rate. The statewid e rate was 100 percent. In the teaching of special populations, 29 out of 29 stud ents passed the exa m for a 100 percent pass rate. The statew id e rate was 100 percent. The Uni vers ity was awa rded a summary totals and pass rate of 99.9 percent, based on the number of students who successfully compl eted one or more tests across all ca tego ries used by the state for li censure and the total pass ra te. Thls was based on 212 taking the assessment, and 211 pass ing. The statewide rate was 96 percent. Ca li fornia University will use the data collected by ETS to focus co ntinued di scussions on teacher preparati on concentrating on continuou s improvement and outco me assessment. Admission to Teacher Education Admission to the Uni versity is not a guarantee that a student majorin g in educati on will be admitted to Teacher Education, com plete the program, student teach, and receive teaching certification. The Pennsylvani a Department of Ed uca tion and the College of Education and Hum an Services have es tablished standards th at all educa tion majors must meet in order to enroll in certain courses, student tead1, and co mplete the teacher ed ucation program. Some of these standards are embodied in the admission to teacher educatio n prog ram, which must be compl eted by the candidate during the semester fo ll owing the compl etion of 48 credits. Program Admission Requirements Student mu st: 1. Possess an overall grade point average of 2.80 to be admitted to teacher edu cation in 2008-09. 2. Ea rn at least a "C or better" (2.00) in ead1 required content and educational methodology course as determined by their maj or depa rtment. These courses are identified on the official advisement sheet. 3. Have met the Admission to Teacher Education Admi ssion Window requirements. Admi ssion Window is 48 to 65 credit ho urs (or the equi va lent). Students not admitted to tead1er education at this tim e will be denied admission at a later date. Students transferring into a teacher edu ca tion prog ram with more than 65 credits will be given a two-semes ter ex tension (up to 24 ea rned credits). 4. Complete a speed, and hearing test. 5. Successfu ll y complete the PRAXIS I (PPST Reading, PPST Writing, and PPST Mathematics) for all education majors. 6.

Students are advised to apply for all cleara nces immediately as schools require them for ea rl y fi eld experience wo rk. 7. Complete 3 credit hours in English Composition I, 3 credit hours in English or American literature, and 3 credit hours in English Composition II and 6 credit 66 hours in mathematics. All courses mu st be a t the co ll ege level. All courses mu st be compl eted with a grade of C or better (2.00) . 8. Sign an Admission and Retenti on to the Teach er Education Progra m form (see below). GPA Admission Matrix for Transfer Pre-Education Majors The rati onale for the GPA Adm ission Matrix is to assure th at transfer stud ents who a re accepted into Cali fornia University of PA in a teacher certifi ca tion prog ra m have e very chance to meet the Admi ssio n to Teacher Edu ca ti o n and Reco mmend a tion for Student Teaching GPA requirements mand ated by the Penn sylvani a De partment of Edu ca tion. The ma nne r in which Ca lifo rni a University of PA ca lculates the GPA for Pre-Educa tion Transfer stud ents will be standard for each de pa rtment that is preparing s tude nts for their i.nHial teacher ce rtifi ca tion. The new procedure will use the G PA Ad mission Matri x fo r Pre-Education Majo rs (see below). When a transfer s tud ent mee ts the GPA require ment (cumu lati ve fro m all previous co ll eges atte nd ed) and is accepted into a teacher preparatio n program as a pre-edu cation major, hi s/her GPA fo r both Admission to Teacher Ed uca tion and Recommend ati on for Student Teachin g wi ll be based on the stud ent' s Ca lifo rnia University of PA GPA only. This decision to accept a transfe r s tud ent as a pre-ed uca ti on major will be made by the Office of Admissions and is considered fin al. It is Cal U policy to acce pt onl y those transfe r stud ents who have a 2.00 GPA or hi ghe r. Stud ents must have a 2.80 GPA for Adm ission to Teacher Ed uca tion, whjch starts at 48 credits and a 3.00 GPA for Recommendation fo r Student Teaching. Therefo re, the Adm ission Matrix includes a 2.00 GPA for transfe r students with 12 credits, a 2.80 GPA fo r transfer s tud ents with 48 credits and a 3.00 GPA for s tud ents who tran sfe r 66 o r more credits. This mirrors the req uirements for Cal U s tude nts without tra nsfe r credits.

Whil e no poli cy can address eve ry conce rn, the Admission Matrix assures that transfer s tude nts and Cal U stud ents a re accountable fo r their academi c pas ts. Missing the Teacher Education Admission Window So me students may no t meet their Ad mission Window and mjss their chance for Ad mi ssion to Teache r Edu ca ti on. In these cases, the student may fi le an appeal fo r a one-semester extension. This appeal will be exa mined by a board of five 67 members. These members are to be: 1) Four department chairs fro m tead1er ed uca ti on departments, and 2) The director of stud ent teaching. The following are the requirements of the Cal U Ad mission to Tead1er Education which are not eli gible for an Admission Wind ow extension: • Possess an overall 2.80 or higher Grade Point Average (GPA) at Admission to Teacher Education. The GPA Admission Matrix fo r Transfer Pre-Education Majo rs wiJI help to ensure that thi s is met. • Possess current Act 34, Act 114, and Act 151 Clearances. The stud ent is responsi ble for keeping clearances up to date at all tim es. • Comp lete 3 credits of English composition.

Thjs degree is the first step in becoming a certified speech-language pathologist (SLP). SLPs work with pa tients of all ages and disord ers, sud1 as stuttering, s troke, developmental disability, birth defects, traumas and accidents, serious disease, hea ring impairment, and voice disord e rs. They a re empl oyed in hospitals, rehabilitati on cente rs, long-term care facilities, pub[jc an d pri va te schoo ls, outpatient clinics, home-care comparues, ea rl y interventi on program s, research labs, governmental agencies, an d o the r services. At this time, career o pporturuti es are exce Uent. The objecti ves of the progra m a re: (1) to ga in knowledge about the basic acoustical, an atomi ca l, and neurological develop ment of normal speech, langua ge, and hearing; (2) to understand the etiology a nd characteristics of various commuruca tio n rusord ers; (3) to develo p the skill to assess these diso rd ers; (4) to demons trate th e ability to use a wid e variety of the rape uti c instruments and procedures; (5) and to demonstrate the principles and practices of ethical profess io na l behavio r. Program The B.S. Ed. in Commurucation Disorder (CMD) is a pre-professional degree program. Students, therefore, should be aware th at they are pre pa rin g fo r future g raduate training before employment as a speech-language patho logist (SLP) is possible. It is important to maintain a QPA of 3.0 o r highe r beca use few graduate schools will accept less. The depa rtment's gradua te program is accredited by the Council on Aca demic Accreditati on (CAA) of the American Speech, Language and H ea rin g Association (ASHA). o accreditati on is ava il able for unde rg raduate program s.

Purpose The Department of Ea rth Science is co mmitted to the practical ad va ncem ent of knowled ge; to serving the local, national, and world community; and to the educa tion of earth scientists, geologists, and geographers. The goal of the de partment is to produce a well-rounded, well-trained individual who is ready fo r a profess ional career or fo r gradu ate school. The department provides stud ents w ith opportuniti es to work with modern technologies, software, databases, and field methods. In addition to the traditional courses, the department offers fi eld courses designed to give practi ca l ex periences. Programs The earth scien ce major has two concentrations: environmental ea rth science and meteo rology. The geography majo r has two concentra ti ons: geogra phic information sciences (GIS) and emergency man agement and touri sm studies. In addition, there are three single concentrati on majo rs: geology, internati o nal studies: geogra phy, and parks and recrea ti on man agement. The department, in conjunction with the College of Edu catio n and Human Services, also provides teacher certifica tion progra ms fo r those interested in teaching ea rth science and environmental edu ca ti on in second ary schools. Honors The nati onal earth science hono r society, Sigm a Gamma Epsilon, has a ch apter (Ze ta Alpha) on campu s. Stud ents recognized for their aca demi c and professional achi evem ents are elected to it. H onor stud ents in geography are eligible for inducti on into Gamma Theta Upsilon. Membership is also avail able to students of high sd1olastic attainment in the California University chapter of Rho Phi Lambda fraterni ty, the professional honor society fo r parks and recreation majors. Finally, honor stud ents in emergency management can be indu cted into Epsilon Pi Phi . Accreditation The bachelo r of arts in geograph y with to urism studies concentra ti on is accredited by the World Tourism Organization, TedQual (Tourism Educa tion Quality) certifica tion system. The WTO TedQuaJ certifi ca tion is an internation al qu ality assurance system fo r edu cati on, training, and research in the field of tourism . Through this accreditation, the tourism program at Ca l U is regul ated by a seri es of rigorous edu ca tion stand ard s with universa l scope. Careers A student who desires a professional ca ree r in geology and environmental ear th sciences may find entry-level empl oyment with state agencies and environmental consulting firms in vo lved in environmental assessments. The advan ced ca reers in geo logy, ea rth sciences, or geogra phy in most instan ces will require an ad van ced degree. Students w ith underg raduate majors in parks and recrea tion man agement can directl y enter the job market in such positions as directo rs or staff persons in 149 school s, governmental agencies (muni cipal and military, for example), industries or resorts with recrea tional programs. Ap plying geographic information sciences to topics in emergency man agement is an app roach that w ill enable students to develop a pplied skiUs in both of these increasingly interrelated ca reer paths. Not only are these skills vital (if not necessary) for employm ent in GIS or emergency man agement positions, but they also provide the ski lls necessa ry fo r marketability and potenti al empl oym ent in land use an alysis, homeland security, environmental stud ies, crime ma pping, earth ciences, transportation stud ies, marketing and retailing, recrea tional planning, and military and gove rnmental service. GIS is one of the fa stest growing fie lds of employment. Department of Earth Sciences Research Centers and Instructional Facilities The Department of Earth Sciences houses seve ral resea rch and instru cti onal facilities w ith some of the most sta te-of-the-a rt equipment availab le in the discipline. The students and faculty of the de partment use these facilities as centers of research and instru ction to co mplete coursewo rk an d service-lea rnin g projects in crime mapping, meteoro logy, touri sm, and watershed analysis.

Smith (chairperson), Aune, Carlisle, Hendricks, Kearcher, MacBeth, McCullough, McVey, Na tali, Pathak, Roche, Schwerdt, van Keuren, Waterhouse, Wilson, Yahner Purpose English is a comprehensive discipline. Its scope encompasses a study of the evolution of th e language itself, the various types of writing, the literature in English (poetry, drama, fiction, and essay, regardless of national origin), and the comparative study of litera ture. As a course of stud y, English enables people to express themselves clearly and to read their ideas and those of others in an appreciative and critical manner. The ideas expressed a re boundless, the content em oti ve as well as rational. Language competency is essential to the exchange of ideas, the successful completion of course work, and meaningful employment. To ensure that students will develop their language skills and will have the means to meet these expectations, the Unive rsity requires th at all en tering students take the English placement examina tion for placement into ei the r ENG 100 Eng lish Language Skills or ENG 101 Composi tion I. All s tudents are encouraged to take the two composition courses during their first semesters. Programs The English major has several concentrations, including the Literatu re program, the language an d literacy concentration, and two concentrations in professional writing: creative writing and journalism. For persons who wan t to teach English or to teach in an allied area, secondary school certifi cation in English and certification in communication (speech communica tion and thea ter) are offered in cooperation with the College of Education and Human Services. A well -developed internship sys tem supports classroom studies in the professional writin g program. Honor Societies Sigma Tau Delta is the Na tional English Honor Society. The California Uni versity chapter, Delta Theta, was chartered in 1959 and is the oldest chapter in the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Ed ucation. The Society of Professional Journalists The Califo rnia University chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists helps prepare studen ts for careers in the media, offering professional and social ties. Scholarships and Awards The English Department also award s regu la rly the fo ll owing: the English Faculty Award; the Minor Major Award; the EAPSU Outstanding English Major Award; the Literary Criticism Award; and the Eleanore C. Hibbs Writing Award . Contact the English Department for details. Careers Besides preparing students for grad uate work in English and American literature, English education, linguistics, library studies, law, communica tion, and a number of other fields, the English program offers career opportunities in such positions as: secondary school teacher, newspaper reporter and editor, magazine writer and editor, creative writer, public information officer, advertising copy w riter, technical writer, proofreader, and radio and TV reporter and editor. 168 Bachelor of Arts in English -120 credits: All Concentrations The following eight-semester schedule of courses provides a recommend ed framework for compl eting this program o f s tud y in four years.

Cturiculum Cou rses designated as H onors Courses are restricted to members of the H onors Progra m and are offered at all class levels. In such co urses, enrollment is kept low to encourage and ensure close interaction between student and professo r. Additi onal ly, most regu lar University course offerings at all levels may have an H onors component. In such courses (called add end a), Honors students fulfill the same requirements as other students in the class, but H onors students perform certain independ ent wo rk w hich is des igned to enhance the regular de partmental courses and w hich is agreed upon in writing by the stud ent, the professor, and the H onors Program. In all such courses, the successful completi on of the course and its H onors component is indicated on the student's transcript. Honors Program students are expected to maintain a minimum Grade Point Average sufficient to achieve the Dean 's List and to gradu ate w ith Honors. Additi onally, stud ents must co mplete a minimum of 24 credits, including add end a and thesis project, w ithin the Honors Program .

Jones, Larsen, Nass, Schweiker, Griffin, Kuba, Sweitzer. Purpose The phi loso phy of education for the Department of Justice, Law, and Society is to integrate the substantive, procedural, theoretical, and scientific aspects of law, crime, justice, anthropo logy, and sociology with a libera l arts edu ca tion whi le inco rporating ethi cs, leadership, and diversity. Although this philoso phy is primarily professional, the stud ents are expo ed to a wide array of inte!Jectual disciplines across the University. The w ide-ranging course offerings reflect the interdi sciplinary approach and dedication to preparing grad uates for a multitud e of opportunities in justice systems, applied sociological practice, and public archaeology, loca ll y, national ly, and internationally; to be able to communi cate and make informed critical decisions; and to pursue graduate stud y in law, anthropology, sociology, criminal justice, criminology, and forensic sciences. Programs There are three principal programs with.in the Department of Justice, Law, and Society: Justi ce Studies, Anthropology, and Sociology. Each of these programs has specia lized concentrations, whid1 are described below. JUST ICE STUDIES The Ju stice Studies major consists of a core req uirement of 11 courses that are designed to provide a broad and coherent approach to the six content areas identified by the Academy of Criminal Justice Sciences. Students then have five concentrations ava ilable to them: General Justice Studies, Criminology, Law & Justice, Corporate and H omeland Security, and Forensic Science. The Forensic Science concentration has two core courses, and students can elect to take one or more tracks to include: Crime Scene Investigation, Behavioral Crime, Forensic Accounting, Computer Forensics, Forensic Anthropology, and General Forensic Science. There is a 12-cred it hou r fore ign lan guage requirement at th e elementary and intermediate levels for stud ents of Ju stice Studies. This lang uage req uirement can be met by taking the foreign langu age courses offered at Ca l U, or if the stud ent desires to take a foreign lan guage not offered at Cal U, they make take the courses elsew here and transfe r them back into the program. Transfer stud ents may transfer up to 24 credit hours of criminal justice courses towa rd s the Justi ce Studies degree requirements. Credit for Life expe riences and military or professional training may be ava ilable, but such credi t cannot be counted towards the 48 justice studie required courses. Such credit, if awa rd ed, wi ll typica Ll y apply to the additi onal electives ca tegory o r general edu ca ti on req uirements, ii applicable. ANTHROPOLOGY The Anthropo logy majo r consists of a co re req uirement of six courses that are designed to provide a broad and coherent approach to the two concentrations. The first is a Forensic Anthropology concentration consistin g of six required courses. The second is an Archaeology concentrati on also consisting of six required courses. In addition to these, a series of low and mid -range courses ca n be taken as genera l electi ves or as electi ves fo r the General Education req uirements. 198 ln additio n to the B.A. in Anthropo logy, stud ents ca n also complete a minor in Anthropology. SOCIOLOGY Sociology is the systematic stud y of all features of group life beginning w ith fa mily and ex tending to globa l arrangements. The primary purpose of the Sociology Program is to prepare stud ents fo r grad uate work in Sociology o r a related Social Science advanced degree. The sociology program is also a strong liberal arts major whid1 provides its graduates with the necessary skills for entry level positions req uiring knowledge of hum an behavior. Our grad uates hold positions in communi ty agencies at the local, nati onal, and international level; non-profit o rganiza ti ons; trad e associations; labor uni ons; foundations; and small and large corpo rations. In additi on to the B.A. in Sociology and a min o r in Sociology, the depa rtment, in conjunction w ith the College of Ed uca tion and Human Services, provides a teame r certifica tion progra m fo r those interested in teaming the social sciences in second ary sd1ools. The de partment also works with the Women's Studi es Program and offers a selection of courses on gend er issues in social institutions and social movements. The Applied Concentration within the Sociology majo r is oriented toward preparing stud ents fo r resea rch positions in applied se ttings. Students are trained to: • Use sociologica l concepts, theo ries, skills, and resea rdi method s to und erstand social and o rganizational problems. • Appl y these tools to concrete, rea l- world, practical problems faced by organizations and co mmunities at all levels. • Provide organ iza ti on leaders with practical soluti ons to these problems. Students are required to take 12 credits in social research methods, p lus statistics, and a three-cred it internship in the second se mes ter of their se ni o r year. Gradu ates may work in diverse a pplied settings such as industry, government, higher edu ca tion, vo luntary associations, and as solo practitioners/co nsultants. Exa mp les of a pplied sociological work in these settings include: • • • • • Eva luating the effectiveness of va rio us edu ca ti onal policies/progra ms inves ti gating the socia l no rms promoting or inh ibiting the spread of AIDS Eva lu ating and assessing the effecti veness of various criminal justice programs Analyzing employ ment records fo r evidence of discrinlination Planning medical services and facilities fo r a target population Honor Societies The Ju sti ce Studies program participates in the Na tio nal Criminal Ju stice Honor Society (Alpha Phi Sigma). Anthropology maj ors are eligible for membership in the Gamma Chap ter of Lambda Alpha, the Na tional Anthropology Honor Society. Students in the Sociology progra m are eligib le for membership in Pi Gamma Mu, the socia l science honor society and Alpha Ka ppa Delta, the hono r society fo r sociology. Special Program Offerings Ju stice Studies facu lty and students in volve themselves in numerous acti vities beyond the normal academi c experience.

Army ROTC enhances stud ents' edu ca tion by providing uniqu e leadership and man agement ex peri ence an d helps develop self-discipline, phys ical stamina, and poise. Thi s edu ca ti on ex perience is further enhan ced throu gh the Professional Military Edu ca ti on program . This program enco urages stud ents to tak e additi onal courses in military history, written co mmuni ca tion, hum an behavior, management, and national securi ty studies. Parti cipation in fi eld tra ining/trips are required durin g each se mes ter. The Army ROTC Program at California University of Pennsylvania is a sa tellite progra m delega ted by the Uni versity of Pittsburg h Military Science Progra m; classes tak e pl ace on Campus. For additi onal info rmati on not covered below, please call the Milita ry Science Departm ent 724-938-1679 or visit our offi ce loca ted in the Frich Biologica l Science Building (BSC), Room 21 7. The Basic Program ROTC is traditi onally a fo ur-year progra m consisting of a Basic and Ad va nced Program. The Bas ic Program is usually taken in the freshman and sophomore yea rs. The stud ent incurs no military obliga tion. Students may di scontinu e the Basic Program at any tim e. It consists of four semes ters of training and instru ction on areas of national defense, land na viga ti on, small unit leadership, mili ta ry histo ry, and leadership development. Uniform, necessa ry textbooks, and equipment are furnished without cos t to the stud ent. To be eligible fo r the Basic Program, a student mu st be em a iled as a full-time stud ent at Ca li fo rni a Uni ve rsity and not be a conscienti ous objector. Stud ents who have taken Junio r ROTC o r have military ex perience (ac ti ve du ty, gu ard or reserves) may receive ad vanced placement credit fo r the Bas ic Program. The Advanced Program The Ad vanced Program is normally taken in the fin al two yea rs of college. Instructi on includes further leadership develo pment and eva lu ation, organi za ti onal and management techniques, tactics and administrati on. Tra inin g is di rected towa rd s preparing the student to be co mmissioned and assume responsibilities as a Second Lieutenant upon co mpleti on of all program requirements. A paid Leadership Development and Assessment Course (LDAC) is held durin g the summ er between the junio r and seni or yea r and is required of all ad va nced course stud ents. This camp permits the cadet to put into practi ce the princi ples and theo ri es acquired in classroom instru cti on. In additi on to being paid approximately $800 (fo r five weeks of leadership training), the cadet is paid travel ex penses, room and boa rd, medical and dental care, and o ther benefits while attending LDA C. To be eli gible for the Advan ced Program, a student must: (1 ) fulfill the requirements fo r the Basic Program; (2) successfull y compl ete the Professor of Military Science's (PMS) interview and selecti on process; (3) Mee t Army medi ca l stand ard s; (4) H ave a grade point average (GPA) of 2.0 o r better (2.5 o r better preferred); and (5) meet Army physical fitness stand ards. 225 Graduate Students Graduate stud ents may avail them selves of the opportunity for commission in the Arm y through the ROTC on campus, and ea rn a stipend while doing so. Applicants need not have previous service in the armed forces however must attend a summer camp. Additi onal information may be obtained from the ROTC office on campu s. Two-Year Program The two-year program enab les students who did not enro U in the Bas ic Program to become eli gible for entry into th e Ad vanced Program through one of three methods: (1) Armed Forces veterans and Junio r ROTC gradu ates ma y qu alify fo r entry into the Ad vanced Program; (2) Students may elect to attend th e ROTC Leader's Training Course (a fi ve week program completed during the summer) befo re entering the Advanced Prog ram; and (3) Students may attend Bas ic Trainin g as members of an Arm y Rese rve or Nationa l Guard tmit. To be eligible for the two-year program , one mu st be a full-tim e student in good stand ing w ith the University and must ha ve at least junior status, be pursuin g a four-year degree, and sa ti sfy aU the entry req uirements outlined above for the Advanced Prog ram. Army ROTC Stipend ALI stud ents who are enrolled and contracted into the Advanced Prog ram and those receiving sch olarship benefits receive a stipend of $300 fo r freshmen, $350 for so phomore, $450 for juniors, and $500 for seniors per month for ten months of the school year. This stipend is non-taxable. Army ROTC Scholarships Advanced freshm en may compete for three-year merit scholarshi ps whethe r or not th ey are en.rolled in Milita ry Science courses. These scholarships pa y for tuition and fees up to $20,000 a yea r, a fl at book rate of $900 per year, and a stipend for ten months of each school yea r. Applications fo r these schol arships are accepted from the end of the fall se mester throu gh the beg inning of the spring semester. Simultaneous Membership Program (SMP) This program provides membership in ROTC and an Army Rese rve o r A rmy ationaJ Guard unit at the same time. While en.rolled in ROTC, the student is al so fillin g a leadership position, such as platoon leader, in a Reserve o r National Guard unit. This affords the stud ent the oppo rtunity to gai n valuable leadership and man agement ex perience whi le attending the Uni versity. The student receives the ROTC stipend and drill pay from the Reserves. Students who qualify and take advantage of all the benefits that are ava ilable through this program may receive benefits of as much as $12,000. Military Science Student Activities Mi litary Science stud ents are encouraged to participate in University and civic activities as much as their course load will allow. The Military Science De partment and the Vulcan Cadet Corps sponso rs activities such as serving as color guard for University fw1ctions, marching in parades, and for mal and se miformal social activities. Military Adventure Training 1n addition to all the training and activities offe red by the De partment of Military Science, a selected number of highly moti vated cadets are affo rded the 226 o ppo rtuni ty to attend some of the U.S. Army's most prestigious and challenging military schools. Limited numbers of positions are avai lab le for cadets to attend the U.S. Army Airborne School (at Fort Benning, Geo rgia), the U.S. Army Air Assault School (a t Fort Campbell, Kentu cky, o r Schofi eld Barracks, Hawa ii), and the U.S. Army Northern Warfare School (a t Fort Greeley, Alaska). School all oca tio ns are awa rd ed on a competitive bas is.

During Lab, stud ents are evaJu ated in various leadership positions; give and receive hand s-on basic military ski ll classes: such as first aid, swim surviva l, basic mountaineering, movement techniques, survival, and dri1J and ceremony. 227 Modem Languages & Cultures Faculty: Gonza lez (chairperson), Pensa, Rand all, Ribar PUipose Rapid political and economic changes in the world require that students not only und erstand other cultures, but that they can communicate wi th persons in those cultures. In this sense, fa mili arity with speaking and reading a mod ern language and being awa re of how persons in other countri es think about the world is pragm atic. Programs The department ad ministers four programs: Liberal Arts lan guage program s in French and Spanish; a Langu age Certification program for students who plan to teach in one of the language areas; and an Intern ati onal Studies program w ith o ptions in Business and Economics, Modern Languages, Geog ra phy, and Political Science. Language and culture are closely aligned, and a se ries of culture courses, taught in English, are ava il able. These indicate how artistic exp ressio n, geography, and economic and historical develo pment mutuall y influence each other. Minors in Modern Languages are offe red in French and Spanish. Placement Students enterin g a Modern Language course w ill be evalu ated in o rd er to determine the proper course-level placement for them. Students w ho wish to receive cred it for previously acquired language proficiency can take a CLEP examination o r a cha llenge exa mination . Careers Linguistic abi li ty in languages other than English can promote empl oyment opportunities in o rganizations working internationall y, especiall y legal, banking, and co mmercial corporations; nati onal and regional gove rnmental agencies; social se rv ice and religious organi za ti ons; edu ca ti onal instituti ons; co mmunicatio ns; import-expo rt and tra vel businesses; and a variety of translation se rvices.
