As a state-owned institution, it accepts the duty of putting the principle of equal opportunity into practice. As an institution of higher education, it accepts the responsibility of teaching that principle by its policies and actions. Consequently, California University of Pennsylvania commits itself, ethically and legally, to the equal opportunity policies of a system of fair and open recruitment and acceptance of students regardless of sex, race, color, religious creed, lifestyle, affectional or sexual preference, disability, present or previous military service, ancestry, national origin, union and political affiliation, and age. N evertheless, mindful of the reality of past injustices and present societal needs, the university reserves the right to employ a limited use of racial, ethnic, and se:,.-ual criteria to accomplish remedial objectives when necessary. Once students are admitted to California University of Pennsylvania, the same rights, privileges, programs and activities are made available to all without regard to arbitrary and irrelevant criteria. Financial aids, especially scholarships, guaranteed loans, grants, work study programs, assistantships, and internships, are provided on an equal opportunity basis. Likewise, advisors and counselors are available to all students. Special programs have been established to meet the needs of students and are available on a first-come, first-s erved basis to all students without regard to race, national origin, or religion. However, in the case of living arrangements, sex and disability distinctions are made to better serve and accommodate all students. Finally, in accordance with recent federal and state legislation, architectural and programmatic modifications have been implemented to ensure that no qualified student is prevented from succeeding at California University o f Pennsylvania because of disability. In addition, California University of Pennsylvania engages in an open and equitable system of recruitment and employment of faculty and staff candidates. It practices a non-discriminatory system of compensation, including pay, promotion, tenure, transfer, education, training and other benefits of employment. California University of Pennsylvania prides itself on having created a workplace and learning environment free from discrimination and harassment. If situations or conditions to the contrary occur, an immediate and appropriate redress will take place. Persons aware of such situations or conditions are encouraged to contact the Social Equity Officer 724-938-4014, the Title IX Coordinator 724-938-4351 , or the Section 504 ADA Coordinator 724-938-4076. California University of Pennsylvania 2 From the President California University of Pennsylvania is in the opportunity business. Since 1852, thousands of students have seized the opportunity we offer to improve not only their lives, but the lives of people they have touched. Our alumni are practicing professionals in education, health care, law, public service, business, environmental science, and government, and the list doesn't stop there. From coastal wetlands to outer space, California University graduates are using their education to continue the never-ending search for knowledge. In various settings all over the globe, Cal U alumni are helping to make the world a better place. At California, we place a great emphasis on people and relationships. We have a dedicated faculty, a caring, concerned staff, excellent facilities, exemplary curriculum, and a variety of extra-curricular activities, all dedicated to helping students get the most from their college experience. Learning is not confined to the classroom; the university experience should be a broad one. Personal growth is proportionate to the wise use of the many resources available. We encourage students to become involved in the total life of the University and its surrounding communities. We also foster a family atmosphere. We are small enough to care about individuals, and yet large enough to be able to offer a variety of programs. I hope that you take time to read through this catalog. It can tell you much about the University and its programs. To really get to know us, however, you should come for a personal visit, and I urge you to do that. You and your family are always welcome.

The objectives of the university are: (1) to provide a liberal education which aims at developing analytical thinking and individual initiative and responsibility; California University of Pennsylvania 6 1852: A two-story Academy, offering education from kindergarten About California University through college was established in the recently founded community of California. The institution was supported by local taxes and the donations of community residents. 1864: A ten-acre site for the Academy was purchased. The university is in the Borough of California, a community of approximately 6,000 residents, located on the banks of the Monongahela River, about an hour's drive south of Pittsburgh. It is accessible via Interstate 70, Exits 15 (PA 43), 16 (Speers), or 17 (PA 88, Charleroi) or via U.S. 40 (PA 43 or 88). The Mid-Mon Valley/ Fayette Expressway (PA 43) links California to the federal Interstate Highway system. The university is approximately 30 minutes from Exit 8 (New Stanton) on the Pennsylvania Turnpike, and an hour from Greater Pittsburgh International Airport. 1865: The Academy obtained a charter as a Normal School for its district and became a teacher-preparatory institution. 1874: The institution was renamed the South-Western Normal School. 1914: The Commonwealth acquired the institution and renamed it the California State Normal School. The curriculum became exclusively a two-year preparatory course for elementary school teachers. The main campus consists of 39 buildings situated on 90 acres. An additional 104-acre recreation complex, George H. Roadman University Park, is located one mile from campus. This complex includes a football stadium, an all-weather track, tennis courts, a baseball diamond, a softball diamond, soccer and rugby fields, a cross country course, areas for intramural sports, and picnic facilities. 1928: The institution became California State Teachers College, returning to its previous status as a four-year-degree-granting institution, with increasing opportunities for liberal arts education. Under the presidency of Robert Steele (1928-1951), California began to concentrate on industrial arts and atypical education (what is now called special education) and otherwise expanded its curricula. The campus grew to 35 acres, and a number of new buildings were erected. The geographic location of the university gives the resident student opportunities to explore and pursue a wide variety of activities. Located on the Appalachian Plateau, an area of rolling hills, the university is a short drive from camping, hiking, fishing, hunting, white water rafting, and canoeing, and skiing in the Laurel Mountains. In addition to varied cultural activities on campus, the student has easy access to the Pittsburgh metropolitan area, located only 30 miles north of the campus. 1959: During the presidency of Michael Duda (1956-68), liberal arts curricula were introduced, and the college became California State College. In 1962 a graduate program was introduced. The degrees of master of arts and master of science were initiated in 1968. During Dr. Duda's presidency, more than a dozen new buildings were completed, and the size of the student body and faculty increased more than four-fold. 1974: During the presidency of George H. Roadman (1969-1977), This provides an opportunity to enjoy the Pittsburgh Symphony, the Pittsburgh Ballet, the Civic Light Opera, the David L. Lawrence Convention Center, the Pittsburgh Steelers, Penguins, and Pirates, various museums and all of the excitements and attractions of a major metropolitan area. the college developed a special mission in science and technology to complement its traditional roles in liberal arts and education. 1983: On July 1, 1983, the college became a part of the State System of Higher Education and changed its name to California University of Pennsylvania. Under the leadership of President John P. Watkins (1977-1992), the College of Science and Technology became fully operational, offering programs in such varied areas as mathematics and computer science, industrial management, nursing, energy technology, robotics, and electrical engineering technology. The institution that is now California University of Pennsylvania began as an academy nearly 150 years ago. It has evolved over the years into a multi-purpose university. One of the fourteen state-owned institutions of higher education in the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education, it has the strength and stability of a university system, but it retains its own flavor and unique history. 1992: Angelo Armenti Jr. appointed president of California University. 1996: College of Science and Technology renamed Eberly College of Science and Technology in honor of the Eberly Foundation for its philanthropic generosity. 1997: Cal U Southpointe Center in the Southpointe Technology Center in Canonsburg, PA, opened in January, offering a variety of courses and programs. 1998: The University formally adopts three core values: integrity, civility and responsibility. 1999: The new Eberly Science and Technology Center, a state-of- the-art facility for the study of science and technology, opened at the beginning ofl 999-2000 academic year.

In fulfilling this mission, each student will be given careful consideration and the university will determine financial assistance based on federal, state, and institutional guidelines. Financial aid programs have been established to provide access to higher education with guidelines to insure fairness in disbursing available funds to qualifying students. The Financial Aid Office strives to insure that courteous, timely, and accurate financial aid services are delivered to all students seeking assistance from our o ffic e. Location & Office Hours The Financial Aid O ffice is located on th e first floor of the Azorsky Administration Building. The office hours are 8:004:00, Monday through Friday.

Completing the FAFSA Each year, you must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or Renewal FAFSA. The 1999-2000 FAFSA or Renewal FAFSA is available now. Prior year aid recipients will receive a renewal version o f the FA FSA that can be used to apply for federal fin ancial aid for the new award year. The Renewal FAFSA will be sent to the address you used on you r 1998-99 FAFSA and will have some information about you preprinted as well as items you must update. If you do not receive you r Renewal FAFSA or you are a new aid applicant, you must complete a blan k 1999-2000 FAFSA . You can obtain the 1999-2000 FAFSA from a high school guidance coun selor, public library, or the financial aid office of a college or unive rsity, including the Financial Aid Office at California University. How to Apply About Financial Aid A college education is one the most important investments a student and family can make. You and your family will be expected to contribute as much as you can from your own resources (income, savings, and assets) to help meet your college expenses. The purpose of financial aid is to help students and families meet educational expenses that cannot be met through their own resources. Financial aid can be either need-based or nonneed-based. The results of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FA FSA) along with the cost-of-education will determine whether a student has financial need. It is important that you read the instructions before completing your FAFSA because the instructions should answer most of your questions. If, after reading the instructions that accompany the FAFSA, you need help completing your form, there are several places you can contact to receive assistance. You can call 1-800-4-FED-AID (1-800-433-3243), consult your high school guidance counselor, or contact the Financial Aid Office. Please Note: California University does not have an institutional financial aid application. There are several types of financial aid available. Grants and scholarships arc considered "gift aid" because they generally do not have to be repaid. Loans and employment are considered "self-help aid" because loans have to be repaid and by working, you earn money for educational expenses. Loans are by far the largest source o f financial aid for the majority of students and families. Most grants, some loans (Subsidized Stafford and the Perkins Loan), and Federal Work-Study is need-based financial aid programs. The Unsubsidized Stafford and the Parent Loan for Undergraduate Students (PLUS) are considered non-needbased. Scholarships can be based upon merit, financial need or both. FAFSA on the Web FAFSA on the Web is aq electronic version o f the 1999-2000 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or the Renewal FAFSA. (www.fafsa.ed.gov) The FAFSA 011 the Web site uses the (domestic) version of Netscape Navigator 3.0 or higher, which keeps a student's information private and secure during transmission over the Internet. Students wanting to complete their 1999-2000 FAFSA via the web can do so after January 1, 1998. After transmitting an application over the Internet, students mail their signed signature page to the Department. The CPS will determine their There are four main sources o f financial aid. These include the federal government, the state government, and the institution and private entities. The federal government is by the far the largest source of financial aid. Approximately 78% o f all students attending California University receive some type of financial aid from one or more sources.

If accurate, then you can file the electronic Renewal FAFSA on the Web, if desired. We would recommend using this option in filing your FAFSA because it is faster, easier, and you are less likely to make errors. If your address is not accurate th en you must complete the paper Renewal FAFSA in order to file . (Make sure you correct your permanent address on the form .) @ Tip #3: Please refer to the Renewal Instruction Booklet (mailed with your Renewal FAFSA) it fo r all ques tions to avoid common errors such as the fo llowing: The Benefits of FAFSA on the Web • • • • • • • F AFSA on the Web is free. Students can save their application information to diskette so that it can be completed and transmitted later. FAFSA on the Web does not require software to be installed, so it takes less time before students can actually use the application. Students can access the FAFSA on the Web page from anywhere, including school or home, making it more convenient to complete the application. FAFSA on the Web automatically edits applicant answers before transmitting, resulting in better information and fewer applications rejected by th e CPS. FAFSA on the Web uses skip logic, so it will only ask students those questions that they need to answer. FAFSA on the Web can support an unlimited number of users, allowing thousands of students to apply at once. EXAMPLE 1: Income Tax Paid When reporting student's income tax paid fo r 1998, question 42 (page 5) tells you exactly which line on you r tax return to use for the correct amount. Most errors are made on this question because students o ften report th e tax withheld by th eir employers on their W-2 forms , instead of the amount actually owed to the federal government. EXAMPLE 2: Separated/Divorced Parents Separated/ divorced parents often report income incorrectly. If your parents are separated or divorced at the time of filing your application, include only the income o f the parent with whom you lived the mos t during the las t 12 months. You must include stepparent income if your parent was divorced but have remarried. Please Note: marital statu s should be reported as " married" (not "divo rced") in this instance.

X X X X X X After You Apply FAFSA Results Federal Campus-based Aid The federal government will process your Free Application for Federal Student 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 two weeks after the federal processor receives your FAFSA. You should review the SAR to see if any corrections are necessary. Otherwise, you can keep the SAR for your records. At California University, we want to have the results of your 1999-2000 FAFSA or Renewal FAFSA by May 1, 1999 for you to be considered first-priority for federal campus-based aid (Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant, Perkins Loan and Federal Work-Study). In order for California University to receive the results of your F AFSA by our firstpriority deadline, we strongly recommend that you file your FAFSA as soon as possible but no later than April 1, 1999, even if you have to use estimated financial information. This will allow the federal government enough time to process your FAFSA and send the results to California University by May 1, 1999. If you cannot or do not file your FAFSA by our firstpriority deadline, please file as soon as you can; and, you will be considered for the Pell Grant, student loans, etc. When you apply for Federal student aid the information reported on the FAFSA is used in a formula approved by Congress. This Federal formula determines a student's Expected Family Contribution (EFC), the amount the family (student and parents, if applicable) is expected to contribute toward the student's education. The basic elements included in determining the EFC are: PHEAA State Grant In order to receive state grant assistance from PHEAA, students must file their 1999-2000 FAFSA or Renewal FAFSA by May 1, 1999. All students are urged to apply even if the deadline has passed, since late applications are considered if funds permit. li2J li2J li2J li2J Handling Special Circumstances Although the process of determining a student's eligibility for financial aid is the same for all students, an adjustment sometimes can be made if a student has special circumstances. Special circumstances may include a reduction in income due to loss of employment, death or disability of a wage earner, divorce contribution from the parents' income and assets contribution from the student's income and assets number of members in the household number of family members enrolled at least half-time in college You can obtain an estimate of your EFC yourself by using the web calculator available at www.finaid.org/ calculators/ finaidestimate.phtml.

Graduate T11itio11 & Fees Room Fees (double room) Board Fees (14 mealpla11) Total Estimated Direct Costs If the student's EFC is below 2925, the student may qualify for a Federal Pell Grant (only students pursuing their first baccalaureate degree are eligible). To determine eligibility for other Federal aid, a student's EFC is used in the following equation: Cost of Attendance less: Expected Family Contribution (EFC) = Financial Need In-State Out-of-State $4,597 $2,182 $7,475 32, 182 $2, 150 $2,150 $8,929 $11,807 In some cases, we can build an individual budget for a student or add additional educational expenses with appropriate documentation. Some of the more common expe nses for which we can adjust a budget include the following: Your demonstrated financial need will determine which programs you qualify. Even if you have no financial need, you will still qualify for the Unsubsidized Federal Stafford Loan and Parent Loan for Undergraduate Student (PLUS). Your parent must be willing to apply for the PLUS Loan and have a satisfactory credit history. • • • art supplies costs associated with studying abroad dependent child care In order to discuss having your budget adjusted, you would need to obtain appropriate docum entation detailing the additional expenses and contact the FAO to schedule an appointment with a counselor. Verification Some of our financial aid applicants are selected in a process called verification. During this verification process, the FAO office must verify the accuracy of FAFSA data reported by students. If your FA FSA is selected for verification by the federal government, we will notify you and tell you exactly what documents we need from you. Typically, we students selected for verification will receive an award packet, however these awards tentative (estimate only) pending the completion and outcome of verification. Federal Stafford Loans are not certified until the verification process has been completed. Please Note: The i11direct/ livi11g expenses a student actual!J i11curs will vary sig11ijica11t!J from student to student.

Award Letters Cost of Attendance California University typically starts the awarding process in early April of each year. 1f you are an accepted fre shman / new student and we have received th e results of your FA FSA by the date we begin our awarding cycle, you can expect to receive your Award Letter Packet by mid-A pril. For students who have not been accepted and / or their FA FSA has not been received at the point the awarding process begins, our office will send award packets to these students throughout the summer as their file becomes complete (accepted to the University and receipt of FA FSA record). Please Note: Only accepted students receive an award packet. Each year the University establishes a total ''cost of allenda11ce" budget based on a student's housing status (commuter, dormitory, or off-campus), enrollment status (full-time or parttime), and residency status (in-state or out-of-state). The cost of attendance budget represents the total educational expenses a student may incur while attending our University, and is a critical element in determining a student's eligibility for Federal Stafford Loan Assistance. The elements of this budget are both "direct" institutional expenses (tuition/ fe es and/ or University room/board), as well as "indirect/ living costs" (offcampus housing, books/supplies, and/or personal expenses) not billed by the University. Upper class or grad uate student Award Letter Packets are mailed once we have received the results of your FAFSA and we have determined that you are making Satisfactory Academic Progress for financial aid purposes. Listed below are the total annual "direct costs" charged to fulltime, living on-campus students: Under~raduate In- stale T11itio11 & Fees Room Fees (double room) Board Fees (14 meal/Jla11) Total Estimated Direct Costs Satisfactory Academic Progress Out-of-State 14,699 12,182 $10,268 12,182 12,150 12,150 19,031 $14,600 In order to receive financial aid, you must make Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) for financial aid purposes as defmed by th e Financial Aid Office. Our definition of SAP is different from the University's definition of being in good academic standing. Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) standards include three elements: 1) maximum time frame within which a degree or certificate must be granted, (2) minimum credit hours earned per academic year, and (3) minimum cumulative grade point average (g.p.a.). The review of a student's "Satisfactory r\cademic Progress" (SAP) standing occurs annually at th e end of the spring semes ter. A student's SA P standing will be based on his/ her academic performance during the academic year [fall and / or California University of Pennsylvania 16 spring semester(s)). Students who are not making satisfactory academic progress are typically notified in early summer. A student who is found deficient in one or more components is put on Financial Aid Probation for the next school year. Students on financial aid probation will be eligible to receive fede ral Title IV financial aid assistance during this probationary period. Please Note: Students will not be granted financial aid probation for two consecutive academic years. Contribution (EFC) number. The EFC number can range from zero to 99,999 or higher. Your Stud ent Aid Report (SAR) con tains this number and will tell you if you are eligible for a Pell Gran t. You can ge t a booklet called 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, D C 20044 If a student is on probation for a year and is fo und deficient, the student is ineligible to continue to receive financial aid for the next school year. In order to be reinstated, th e student must successfully achieve the required grade point average as mandated by the SAP Policy and/or successfully make up his/her credit hour(s) deficiency at his/ her own expense. The student may use the summer or any semester of the academic year to resolve their deficiency. T he Pell Grant for 1999-2000 will range from $400 to $3125. T he maximum Pell Grant award can change eac h year based upon Congressional funding levels. However, if you are eligible for a Pell Grant based upon your EFC number, you are guaranteed to receive it. For the 1999-2000 school year, fulltime students with EFCs from zero to 2925 qualify fo r a Pell Grant award. Those with EFCs greater th an 2925 are not eligible for a Pell G rant but could be eligible for other types of aid. Students who make up their deficiency must complete and return the "Satisfactory Academic Progress Form", along with all required documents, to the Financial Aid Office before clearing their deficiency statu s. Only successfully earned credits, not grades, are transferable to California from another approved institution. Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants The Federal Supplemental Educational O pportunity Grant (FSEOG) is for undergrad uate students with exceptional financial need, i.e., students with th e lowes t Expected Family Contributions (EFCs). Preference is given to Pell Gran t recipients who file th eir FAFSA by our first priority deadline of May 1 in order to be considered for this grant; therefore, you should submit your FA FSA by April 1 of the award year. T he FSEOG annual award typically ranges from $600 to S1200. All Title IV recipients have a right to appeal a financial aid suspension decision by submitting a "SAP Appeal Form" to the Financial Aid O ffice. Written explanation of the reason (s) wh y the student failed to meet the Satisfactory Academic Policy Standards must be attac hed to the appeal form. Appeal form s are available in the Financial Aid Office. The deadline date for filing an appeal is the Students will be notified o f a decision within 7 to 10 days after filing the appeal form. If the appeal is denied, a student may file a final appeal to the Director of Financial Aid. This appeal must be filed within 10 working days from the date of the first denial letter.

Students develop a profile of themselves to locate scholarships that best match their qualifications. The Federal Stafford Loan that you, the student, can borrow in your own name can be either subsidized or unsubsidized or a combination of both.

If you do qualify for a subsidized loan, the federal government pays the interest on the loan, i.e., subsidizes the loan, while you are in school, during your six month grace period prior to repayment and during any authorized period of deferment. We also encourage you to visit the University's Financial Aid Office homepage at www.cup.edu/financial_aid. Loans About Loans Student loans are a major source of financial aid for many students. All loans, including student loans, represent debts that must be repaid; however, most student loans do not go in to repayment until after you leave school or graduate. In addition to delayed repayment, most student loans have relatively low interest rates, several repayment options from which to choose, circumstances under which you can postpone repayment, and Students without financial need are eligible for the Federal Stafford Unsubsidized Loan. This means that you will be responsible for the interest on the loan from the time you receive the funds until the loan is paid in full. You have the option of allowing the interest to accumulate, or accrue, on the loan while you are in school and during your six-month grace period before repayment. You also have the option of paying Undergraduate Catalog 1999-2000 21 the interest on the loan as it accumulates. If you decide to delay interest repayment, the interest that accumulates will be "capitalized", that is, will be added to your loan principal when you begin repayment. This means your to tal loan principal will increase. It is better to pay the interes t, if you can, because you will save money in the end. H owever, not all students can afford to pay the interest while still in school and that is why you have the option of letting the interest accumulate. borrow up to $4000 and juniors and senio rs (96 or more hours) can borrow up to $5000.

Listed below is an eligibility chart that defines the credit hour requirements for each of the five federal aid and PHEAA Grant programs, as well as the percentage of the maximum award a student may qualify for under all four enrollment classifications. Application Process (Master Promissory Note) Step 1: File the electronic or paper version of the FA FSA. Step 2: In most cases, California University will pre-certify your loan eligibility for a Federal Stafford Loan before you file an Federal Stafford Master Promissory Note (MPN). PHEAA (the state guaranty agency) will send you a pre-printed MPN indicating your maximum loan eligibility (subsidized and/ or unsubsidized) as determined by our office. The Financial Aid Office will base your Stafford Loan eligibility on your grade level, financial need, and annual and aggregate loan borrowing. However, the student's loan amount cannot exceed the student's annual loan limit under the Stafford Loan Program (see "Stafford Loan Borrowing Chart" listed below) . Determining Award Eligibility Based On Enrollment Status Please Note: Federal and state financial aid awards may be adjusted according to this chart for any student whose enrollment status (as defined above) changes before 60% of the enrollment period, e.g., fall or spring semester, or a special summer session, has elapsed. T his would occur when a student drops a class(es) or withdrawals from the university. Step J: Complete the borrower section of the MPN. Please be sure that all questions are complete and that the student signs and dates the MPN. Step 4: Submit the completed MPN to PI-IEAA Loan Division. If applying for a Stafford Loan through an non-PHEAAapproved lender, submit the MPN to the Financial Aid Office at California University. Financial Aid Refunds Financial aid which exceeds the amount the student owes to the university (direct costs) will be disbursed to the student in the form of a refund check to cover indirect educational costs such as books and supplies, off campus housing and transportation. These refund s will be available starting with the second week of the semester for Stafford Loan refunds and all other student financial aid refunds if the stud ent has satisfied the eligibility requirements for each award. Please Note: Even though refund checks will be available starting the first week of the semester, a financial aid refund check could be delayed if one or more of the following statements is true: Step 5: Once the Financial Aid Office has certified the MPN, the lender will authorize the disbursement of loan proceeds (Electronic Funds Transfer [EFT] or check) at the appropriate time. The lender will send a "Disclosure Statement" informing the student of the amount, type, and expected disbursement date of the loan proceeds. In addition, the disclosure statement will give the student the opportunity to cancel or reduce the amount of the Stafford Loan. Finally, all first-time Stafford Loan borrowers are required to complete an "En/ranee Interview" before loan proceeds can be disbursed. 1) Student is a first year, first time borrower (Stafford refund only); 2) Student's federal and / or state aid has not been finalized; Disbursement of Financial Aid 3) Student's loan application was filed late; Crediting Financial Aid to a Studenf s Account 4) The loan application or the "Free Application for Federal Student Aid" (FAFSA) is delayed at the processor (federal student aid program, guarantee agency/ lender) due to missing or incorrect in formation. In general, once a student's financial aid award(s) has been finalized (all requested forms received, verification completed, enrollment verified, and default status reviewed), the student's semester award amount(s) (except Federal Stafford Loans and Federal College Work-Study) will be credited to his/her account beginning with the second week of the semester. Federal Stafford Loans will also be credited to a student's account once loan proceeds have been received and appropriate authorization (endorsement of loan check or a signed EFT authorization form) has been secured and all other eligibility criteria have been satisfied. Federal College Work-Study funds are disbursed bi-weekly to the student in the form of a payroll check based on the number of hours worked during the pay period. Please Note: Federal regulations prevent the delivery of the first disbursement of Federal Stafford Loan proceeds to first-year, first-time borrowers until thirty days after the first day of classes. Financial Planning Students planning to attend California University of Pennsylvania should be aware that the cash from many of the financial aid programs is not available until the second week of the semester for which the funds are intended. Students should plan to come to the university with enough personal money fo r early term purchases (books, materials, art supplies, etc.) without depending upon financial aid fund s. Maintaining Financial Aid Eligibility Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy Federal regulations require all institutions that administer Title IV student assistance programs to monitor the academic progress toward a degree or certificate o f those students applying for or receiving assistance from those programs. All California University students applying for Title IV federal assistance must meet th e standards stated in this policy, regardless of whether or not they previously received aid. The How Registration Affects Financial Aid Eligibility Federal regulations and institutional guidelines require students to be registered before any financial aid monies can be disbursed. In addition, all federal and state financial aid Undergraduate Catalog 1999-2000 23 his/ her enrollment status: financial aid programs governed by these regulations are as follows: Full-time (12 or more credits) Total Earned Credits per Year 24 crediis Three-quarter time (9 to 11 credits) 18 credits Half-time (6 to 8 credits) 12 credits Enrollment Status* Federal Federal Federal Federal Federal Federal Pell Grant Supplemental Educational O pportunity Grant (SEOG) Perkins Loan Stafford Loan (Subsidized/Unsubsidized) Plus Loan Work-Study Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) standard s include three elements: 1) maximum time fram e within which a degree or certificate must be granted, 2) minimum credit hours earned per academic year, and 3) minimum cumulative grade point average (g.p.a.). * Asmmes a st11dent's enrollment stat11s (full-time, three-quarter time, or halftime) remai11ed co11sta11t throughout the academicyear. The mi11imum eamed credit hours standard listed above will differ if the stude11t's enrollme11t stat11s varies thro11ghout the academicyear. Minimum Cumulative Grade Point Average Review Period Each semester the university reviews the "grade point average" (g.p.a.) o f each student in order to determine whether the student is maintaining "good academic standing". The university has es tablished minimum grade point averages that students must maintain in order to achieve "good academic standing". Listed below are the minimum grade point averages for each class level: The review of a stud ent's "Satisfactory Academic Progress" (SAP) standing occurs annually at the end of the spring semester. A student's SAP standing will be based on his/ her academic performance during the academic year [fall and / or spring semester(s)). Students who are not making satisfactory academic progress are typically notified in early summer. Maximum Time Frame Freshman Sophomore Maximum time fram e is defined as the required length of time it will take a student to complete a degree program based on the appropriate enrollment status (full -time, three-quarter time, or half-time). For a student to remain eligible for federal aid, the student must conform to the following time frame for completion o f a degree: *Students purs11i11g a11 Associate Degree m11st have a 2.0 g.p.a. in order to graduate.. A student who fails to meet minimum academic standards (required g. p.a), as defined by the university, will be placed on academic probation status fo r one semester. Students are eligible to receive financial aid during the probation semester(s) . At the end of the probation semes ter(s) , a student must: A ssociate D e1 ree Enrollment Status Full-time (12 or more credits) Number of Eligible Semesters 6 semesters Three-quarter time (9 to 11 credits) 9 semesters Half-time (6 to 8 credits) 12 semesters (1) ach ieve the required minimum grade point average (student is removed from academic probation); or (2) achieve at least a 2.0 grade point average during the probationary semes ter (if this requirement is met, the student will continue on academic probation). A student who is unsuccessful in attaining either one of these levels o f academic performance will be academically dismissed from the university. Students who are academically dismissed are considered ineligible for Title IV federal aid. However, a student who is academically dismissed and is approved for re-admission (through the university's PASS Program only) will be placed on " financial aid probation." During financial aid probation a stud ent is eligible to receive Title IV federal aid (see "Financial Aid Probation" section for additional information). B ac hl e or D ei: ree Enrollment Status Full-time (12 or more credits) Three-quarter time (9 to Number of Eligible Semesters 11 semes ters 11 credits) Half-time (6 to 8 credits) 1.75 Junior 1.95 1.85* Senior 2.00 16 semesters 22 semesters Special Grades I (Incomplete): An incomplete grade does not earn credit or influence the grade point average in the semester in which the course work was taken. If an incomplete has been resolved and the student has earned a passing grade, the credit and grade will be counted toward satisfying the minimum credit hour standards and grade point average requirements. Minimum Earned Credit Hours In order to monitor a student's progress toward completing a degree in a prescribed amount of time, a measure of annual progress has been established. The minimum earned credit hours component requires student aid applicants and recipients to successfully earn a minimum number of credit hours per year based on a student's enrollment status. A student must meet the following earned credit hour standards based on W (Withdrawal): All withdrawal categories do not earn credit(s) toward graduation or toward satisfying the credit requirements of the SAP Policy. California University of Pennsylvania 24 and/ or successfully make up his/her credit hour(s) deficiency at his/her own expense. The student may use the summer or any semester of the academic year to eliminate his/her deficiency. Students may take course work at another college or university to resolve the minimum credit-hour deficiency, provided that the credits earned at that institution are transferable to California University and the student's college dean or appointed designee has authorized the transient course work. Students who make up their credit-hour deficiency at an institution other than California University must have a Financial Aid Transcript sent to the Financial Aid Office. P (Pass): If this grade is awarded, the credits apply toward graduation and toward satisfying the minimum earned credit hour standards, but will not impact a student's grade point average. Repeated Courses: For a course that has been repeated, only the last grade earned is used in calculating the grade point average and the credits are awarded only for the semester in which it was repeated. However, each time a student enrolls in a course, the course is counted as part of the maximum time frame. Students who make up their deficiency must complete and return the Satisfactory Academic Progress Form, along with all required documents, to the Financial Aid Office before their deficiency status can be cleared. Military Transfer Credits In most cases, military training and/ or service school experience credits can be counted in the total credit hours earned by a student for satisfying the minimum credit hour progression requirement. However, the military training and/or service school experience will only be used in satisfying the minimum earned credit hour requirement during the student's first year of attendance at California University. Please Note: Only successfully earned credits, not grades, are transferable back to California from another approved institution. Students can only improve their grade point average by taking and successfully completing course work at California University. PHEM Grant Progress Standard Even though the PHEAA Grant is a non-Title IV aid program, the satisfactory academic progress requirements for this program are similar to the federal policy. For students to remain eligible for a PHEAA Grant, he/she must meet the following minimum earned credit hour standard after every two semesters o f state grant assistance: Total Earned Enrollment Status* Credits per Year 24 crediis Full-time (12 or more credits) Part-time (6 to 11 credits) Appeal Procedures 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 with a written explanation of the reason(s) the student failed to meet the Satisfactory Academic Policy Standards. Appeal forms are available in the Financial Aid Office. The deadline date for filing an appeal is the third week of classes in any semester that the student is applying for financial aid. Students will be officially notified within 7 to 10 days after filing the appeal form. If the appeal is denied, final appeal must be made to the Director of Financial Aid within 10 working days of the date of the denial letter. 12 credits For PHEAA Grant purposes, the repeated course(s) can be counted only once in meeting the 12 or 24 credit hour test. Please Note: A student can only receive a maximum of 8 fulltime or 16 part-time semesters of PHEAA Grant assistance. Refund/Repayment Policies Definition of "Refund" Financial Aid Probation The term "refund" is defined as financial aid and/ or cash payments minus the amount retained by the institution for the student's actual period of enrollment. Any student who withdraws from the university may be eligible for a refund of university charges, according to the published refund policy. However, a student who receives financial aid and withdraws from the university may be required to refund all or a portion of the financial aid awards to the appropriate financial aid program(s). If a student fails to achieve the Satisfactory Academic Progress Standards during the review period as outlined in this policy, the student will 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 financial aid probation for the next award year and will be eligible to receive federal Title IV financial aid assistance during this probationary period. Please Note: Students will not be granted financial aid probation for two consecutive academic years. University Refund Policies Official withdrawal from the university may entitle the student to a refund of university fees. The amount of the refund of university fees will be based on one of two refund policies: ProRata or Federal Policy. The student's enrollment status at the time of withdrawal from the university will determine which refund policy will be used. Listed below is the definition of each policy and appropriate schedule. Financial Aid Suspension If a student fails to achieve the minimum earned 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 financial aid suspension. Students placed on financial aid suspension (progress) will become ineligible for future Title IV assistance until the student's SAP deficiency is resolved. Definition of Pro-Rata Refund Policy This refund policy applies to any student who meets the following criteria: • receives federal financial aid; • attends the university for the first time; Eligibility for Reinstatement In order to be reinstated, the student must successfully achieve the required grade point average as mandated by the SAP Policy Undergraduate Catalog 1999-2000 25 • student financial aid for non-institutional charges may be required to pay all or a portion of the student financial aid to the appropriate financial aid program(s) . The following policies are used in determining the amount to be repaid by the student, if any: 1. Non-institutional housing/board costs are pro-rated based on the remaining months in the semester. 2. One half of the academic year allowance for books, supplies and personal/ miscellaneous expenses is considered to be expended when a student begins classes. 3. Transportation costs are pro-rated based on the remaining weeks in the semester. 4. Once pro-rated expenses are determined for that semester, the institution will subtract this amount from the total cash disbursed to the student for the payment period. If it is determined that a repayment is necessary, the appropriate program will be refunded and the student will be billed. and withdraws on or before the 60 percent point of the enrollment period. Students who meet all three criteria will be assessed university charges (tuition and fees, room and board, etc.) equal to the portion of the enrollment period completed. Schedule of Pro-Rata Refunds If the student withdraws: Prior to the second day of classes First 10% (in time) of the enrollment period First 20% (in time) of the enrollment period First 30% (in time) of the enrollment period First 40% (in time) of the enrollment period First 50% (in time) of the enrollment period First 60% (in time) of the enrollment period After the 60% (in time) of the enrollment period Refund 100% 90% 80% 70% 60% 50% 40% 0% Note: If the repayment owed is SlOO or less, the student will not be billed. Definition of Federal Refund Policy (University Refund Policy) Distribution Policy This refund policy applies to any student who withdraws after their first semester of attendance at California University. Students who meet this basic criteria will have their university charges calculated according to the following schedule: If it is determined that a student is required to repay all or a portion of the student financial aid disbursed to him/her, the Federal Government requires that it be returned to the appropriate program(s) in the following priority order: 1. Federal Perkins Loan 2. Federal Pell Grant 3. Federal SEOG 4. Other Title IV Aid Programs 5. Other Federal, State, Private, or Institutional Aid Programs Schedule of Federal Refunds If the student withdraws during: First 10% (in time) of the enrollment period 11 % to 25% (in time) of the enrollment period 26% to 50% (in time) of the enrollment period After 50% (in time) of the enrollment period Refund 90% 50% 25% 0% NOTE: Federal regulations require the university to use the refund policy (Pro Rata or Federal) that provides the largest refund to the federal aid program(s). T herefore, both the formulas are applicable in determining a refund for a federal aid recipient who withdraws during his/ her first semester of attendance.

STU DI ES Humanities And Fine Arts (9 Credits) Students will have an "appreciatio n of and experience with literatu re and th e arts" (BOG), as well as with other traditional areas o f the humanities. The humanities deal with human values, beliefs, and emotio ns, and the way these are expressed through human creation s. The humanities are typically subdivided into two areas, humanities and fin e arts. Humanities courses presen t organized values, beliefs, o r em o tio ns using language and ideas as th e creative vehicle, and include literature, philosophy, and foreign language study. Fine arts courses are those which present o rganized values, beliefs, or emotions using the senses and physical expression as the creative vehicl e, and include courses in art, mu sic, and theatre. Objectives • To attend and react to a performance or exhibit related to the discipline studied, in at leas t o ne course Humanities • To present, critique or analyze human values, beliefs and emotions as they are conceptualized, formulated, and expressed through language and ideas Fine Arts To present, critique or analyze human values, beliefs, and • emotions as they are conceptualized, formulated, and Menu Courses COM 224 ORAL INTERPRETATION California University of Pennsylvania 30 expressed through verbal and physical action and artifacts and perceived through the senses FRE 101 ELEMENTARY FRENCH I FRE 102 ELEMENTARY FRENCH II FRE 203 INTERMEDI ATE FRENCH I FRE 204 INTERMEDIATE FRENCH II FRE 240 MIDDLE AGES & RENAJSSANCE (800-1600) FRE 241 THE SEVENTEENTH CENTURY & CLASSICAL AGE FRE 242 TI-IE EIGHTEENTH CENTURY & ENLIGHTENMENT FRE 243 TI-IE AGE OF FRENCH ROMANTJCISM FRE 244 TI-IE AGE OF FRENCH REALISM FRE 245 TI-IE BIRTH OF MODERN FRENCH CULTURE FRE 246 CONTEMPORARY FRENCH CULTURE IN THE ARTS FRE 450 FOREIGN LANGUAGE COLLOQUIUM IN FRENCH GEO 105 HUMAN GEOGRAPHY GEO 205 WORLD CITIES/ UBRAN TOURISM GER 240 FROM TACITUS TO LUTHER GER 247 GERMAN CULTURE UNDER THE NATIONAL SOCIALISTS LIT 127 WOMAN AS HERO MUS 202 NORTH AMERICAN MUSIC NUR 101 WOMEN'S HEALTH ISSUES PHI 200 WORLD RELIGIONS POS 322 POLITICS OF THE MIDDLE EAST POS 326 POLITICS OF AFRICA PSY 311 PSYCHOLOGY OF GENDER ROLES SOC 240 SOCIAL INSTITUTIONS SPN 101 ELEMENTARY SPANISH I SPN 102 ELEMENTARY SPANISH II SPN 203 INTERMEDIATE SPANISH I SPN 204 INTERMEDIATE SPANISH II SPN 242 GOLDEN AGE AND BAROQUE SPN 246 CONTEMPORARY SPAIN 1939-PRESENT SPN 248 ROMANTICISM IN LATIN AMERICA SPN 249 MEXJCO TWENTIETH CENTURY SPN 250 CONTEMPORARY ARGENTINA SPN 421 SURVEY OF SPANISH LITERATURE SPN 422 SURVEY OF SPANISH AMERICAN LITERATURE WST 200 INTRO TO WOMEN'S STUDIES Menu Courses FRE 245 TI-IE BIRTH OF MODERN FRENCH CULTURE FRE 246 CONTEMPORARY FRENCH CULTURE IN THE ARTS GER 244 RICHARD WAGNER & HIS TIMES MUS 100 INTRO TO MUSIC MUS 104 VOICE CLASS I MUS 115 FUNDAMENTALS OF MUSIC MUS 191 UNIVERSITY CHOIR MUS 192 CALIFORNIA SINGERS MUS 196JAZZ ENSEMBLE MUS 197 CHORAL UNION (CALIFORNIA CHORALE) MUS 198 UNIVERSITY MARCHING BAND MUS 199 UNIVERSITY CONCERT BAND MUS 200 SIGHT SINGING AND EAR TRAINING MUS 202 NORTH AMERICAN MUSIC MUS 210 VOICE CLASS II MUS 211 KEYBOARD I MUS 300 JAZZ: HISTORY, FORM, ANALYSIS MUS 301 20TH CENTURY MUSIC: HISTORY, FORM, ANALYSIS MUS 303 MUSIC MATERJALS & METHODS FOR TEACHERS MUS 306 THE OPERA: HISTORY, FORM, ANALYSIS MUS 308 THE SYMPHONY: HISTORY FORM, ANALYSJS MUS 312 KEYBOARD II THE 100 INTRODUCTION TO THEATRE THE 132 BALLET TECHNJQUE I THE 133 JAZZ TECHNIQUE I THE 201 VOICE AND INTERPRETATION THE 240 CREATIVE DRAMATICS TI-IE 245 CHJLDRENS THEATRE TI-IE 350 THEATRE PRACTICUM: ACTING THE 351 THEATRE PRACTICUM: DANCE THE 354 THEATRE PRACTICUM: MANAGEMENT THE 356 THEATRE PRACTICUM: TECH PRODUCTION Multicultural Awareness (3 Credits) Values (3 Credits) Students will have an "understanding of how people's experiences and perspectives are shaped by gender, ethnicity, cul_ture, and o~her factors that distinguish groups of people, coupled with recognition of common elements within human experience that transcend time space race and circumstances" (BOG). Multicultural awa:eness ~ssists individuals, regardless of ethnicity, gender, disabilities, social class or race, to understand and appreciate events and people from various points of view. Courses could focus on one or more of the following: gender, ethrucity, racial diversity, world religious belief systems, non-western cultures. Students will have an "understanding of the role of values in personal, professional, and civic life; experience in recognizing and analyzing ethical issues" (BOG) . The study of values includes the acts, customs, and institutions regarded 1n a parncular, usually favorable way by a group of people. Values must b_e a major . theme in the course, not just a topic. Course syllabi must provide the definition(s) of value that will be explored. All courses must examine values as they relate to concrete situations within the realm of experience of most students. Objectives • To utilize bodies of knowledge to form the basis for an analysis of values • To explain how values are developed within diverse human frameworks To analyze, synthesize and evaluate how ethical concepts are • formed • To apply an analysis of values to other branches of knowledge or to issues of universal human concern • To acquire the critical use of sources and evaluation of evidence To exercise judgment in the expression of ideas • • To appraise knowledge bases on the basis of informed and independent evaluations Objectives To outline diversity, either historically or cross-culturally for • the population(s) under study To explain how cultural groups define_social constructs (for • example- gender roles, gender attribunon, gender ideology and gender identity) and how these are expressed • To identify and explain the social behavior of the population(s) under study • To compare and contrast different cultural groups under study • To explain why tensions exist between cultur~ gr_oups and how such tensions are expressed, such as attrtbunon and ideology Menu Courses Menu Courses ANT 100 INTRODUCTlON TO ANTHROPOLOGY ANT 280 INDIANS OF NORTH AMERICA ANT 300 CULTURAL VIEWS OF WOMEN ANT 355 PREHISTORIC AMERICAN INDIANS ENG 155 BLACK LITERATURE ENG 371 CRITICAL THEORY & TEACHING OF LIT !TE 101 INDUSTRIAL SAFETY LIT 127 WOMAN AS HE RO PHI 200 WORLD RELIGIONS PHI 220 ETHICS PHI 231 PHILOSOPHY OF RELIGION PHI 302 MEDICAL ETHICS Undergraduate Catalog 1999-2000 31 PHI 320 ETHI CAL THEORY PHI 370 PH ILOSOPHY OF LAW POS 315 CONSTITUTIONAL LAW: CIVIL LIBE R'ITES WST 200 INTRO TO WOMEN'S STU DI ES • Technological Llteracy (6 Credits) Menu Courses • • ANT 231 ME DICAL ANTHROPOLOGY ATE 115 FOUND ATIO SSTRENGTHTRAINING ATE 120 SU BSTANCE ABUSE EDUCATION ATE 340 SPORTS NUTRJTION HPE 105 CURR.ENT HEALTH ISSUES HPE 202 COED AEROBIC FITNESS & NUTRJTION HPE 314 FIRST AID & PERSONAL SAFETY NUR 101 WOME 'S HEALTH ISSUES NUR 105 PARENTI G: INSIGHTS & ISSUES PSY 222 PSYCH OF STRESS MANAGEMENT Students will have a basic understanding of the current and potential significance of technology, as well as its impact on contemporary society. Technological literacy means knowing how to use tools, resources, processes, and systems to change or to control the natural and artificial environment, thus altering the human condition. (International Technology E ducation Association) Objectives • To explain major concepts to technology, providing insights into its bread th and into its relationship to other areas of study • To use research skills to understand materials, energy, information, people, time and tools as they apply to techn ological systems designed to meet human needs and wants • T o critically evaluate the implications and varying interpretations o f technological changes as they relate to and determine impacts on individuals, society, the environment, and the future To design, produce, test, and analyze possible solutions to • technological problems • To demonstrate computer literacy N otes California University is implementing its new General Education Program, and the goal menus will be updated throughout the implementation process. Students entering the university under this catalog will be able to satisfy General Education requirements by using courses added to goal menus in subsequent years without being required to change to a new catalog. General education courses may include any courses in a student's career, including major courses. Major courses included on a goal menu may be used to satisfy that goal. Al though a course may appear on more than one menu, a given course may be used to satisfy only one general education goal. Menu Courses When external accreditation agencies require specific competencies, departments may advise students to take specific courses included on a goal menu to complete the goal. Students should contact their advisors or department chairs for information on such requirements.

Students should retake such courses as soon as possible. Students must complete appropriate developmental courses or satisfy other prerequisites prior to completing a course listed on a general education goal menu. Students must complete a lab course. D efinition: a lab course uses the scientific method in observation, collection and manipulation of data, interpretation of data, and drawing conclusions. Students must complete two upper-level "writing intensive" courses in the major. Criteria: Major departments must affirm that the writing intensive courses they propose require writing experiences that are relevant to that major; writing component courses must offer students opportunities for significant revision of their writing, revision typically initiated by instructors' written comments on drafts; students in writing intensive courses must be assigned a minimum o f 30 pages of writing, distributed throughout the semester. Health And Wellness (2-3 Credits) Students will have an understanding o f the various means by which they may fulfill their potential as healthy people living in healthy communities. Wellness is the result o f individuals making intelligent decisions concerning the various factors that can affect their overall health. Courses must include one or more of the fo llowing emphases; eating and exercising toward a healthy lifestyle; building healthy relationships; understanding and preventing disease; explaining drug use and abuse; making healthy choices. • • To explain and predict factors affecting health To interpret and apply health principles to their life To analyze, design, and assess individual health plans Objectives To compare and contrast health and unhealthy (lifestyles, relationships, drug use, choices, etc.) California University of Pennsylvania 32 Academic Policies Course Numbering System Student Responsibilities and Academic Advising Courses numbered 100 to 499 are undergraduate courses. Courses numbered 500 may be taken for undergraduate or graduate credit, and courses numbered 700 & 800 are graduate level courses. In certain circumstances, undergraduate students are allowed to take graduate level courses for either undergraduate or for graduate credit. Courses are numbered in the following way: 100-199 Freshman level 200-299 Sophomore level 300-399 Junior level 400-499 Senior level Generally, courses whose numbers end in 9 (such as 209 and 459) co nsist o f independent study or internship and registering for such courses typically requires special permission. Students are responsibl e for securing current information about university policies and for meeting all relevant requirements. Students follow the requirements and provisions o f the catalog that is in effect at the time o f their initial enrollment. Students who have interrupted their education for more than one year are subj ect to the provisions of the catalog which is current at the time of their readmission to the university. T he university reserves the right to change policies, curriculum requirements, and other provisions as needed. Faculty advisors are available to assist students in planning their academic program, but students have th e responsibility for meeting all requirements for their degrees. Students are urged to take ad vantage of the advisory and consultation services available at the university. They sho uld feel free to consult with professors, academic advisors, department chairpersons, the deans, and the Provos t. All of these university representatives maintain regular o ffice hours fo r student consultations. Credits Credit for course work is recorded in credit hours. For most courses, one credit hour represents one class meeting per week. For laboratory classes, the ratio may differ somewhat from one department to another, but usually two or three hours of laboratory work are worth one credit hour. Attendance A full -time student is one who is taking twelve or more credits. A student taking fewer than twelve credits is co nsidered a part-time student. Regu lar class attendance is a prerequisite to successful class performance. University policy permits class absence for cause but places an obligation for successful completion of course work on the student. T here is no single, university-wide policy on class attendance o r on cuts; but professo rs may establish their particular policies on absences, assess reasonable penalties if students do not observe these policies, and treat unexplained absences as unexcused absences. The student must, in all cases, arrange to make up examinations or other work missed because of absence, according to terms and a sc hedule agreeable to the professors. Students expecting to progress from one class to the next on an annual basis and graduate in four years should complete an average of 32 credits per year, or 16 credits per sem ester. Grading System California University uses the following grading system for all courses: It is th e student's responsibility to inform professors o f the cause of any absence, if possible, in advance. Students sho uld notify their college Dean of lengthy absences due to illness o r other causes, and appropriate documentation may be required in such cases. The Dean will in turn notify th e professors concerned. Requests for absence due to official university activities, such as field trips or athletic contests, mu st be made to the appropriate university official. G rade Quality Points per Credit Interpretation A B C D F AU I 4 Superior Attainment Above Average Average Below Average Failure Audit Incomplete Incomplete Failure Passing Official Withdrawal Withdraw Passing Withdraw Failing Administrative withdrawal Unofficial withdrawal IF The H ealth Center does not issue medical excuses. Under certain circumstances the Health Center will no ti fy professors about students' absences (or other failure to fulfill academic obligations) due to medical conditions; o n the basis of this notification, individual professors in turn will determine whether or not to excuse the absences. The temporary grade of Incomplete is not automatically awarded even if excused or explain ed absences have prevented completion of required work by the end o f the semes ter. p w WP WF wx uw 3 2 1 0 Not calculated Not calculated 0 Not calculated Not calculated Nat calculated 0 Not calculated Not calculated Quality Point or Grade Point Average To calculate a quality point average (QPA) or grade point average (GPA) divided the total number of quality points earned in regular courses at this university by the total number of credit hours attempted. For example, if a student has attempted a total of 60 credits, with 12 credits worth of A (=48 quality points), 24 of B (=72 quality points), 15 of C (= 30 quality points), 6 of D (= 6 quality points), and 3 of F (=0 quality points), this student would have a total of 156 grade points, or a QP A/G P A o f 2.60. Semester System California University operates o n a semester system with Fall and Spring semesters o f approximately 15 weeks. In addition, there is a Summer term which typically includes a 10 week session and two five week sessions which run fro m June to August in addition to special sessio ns in May and August. In computing QPA/GPA, the following courses transferred from other institutions, advanced placement courses, courses passed by Undergraduate Catalog 1999-2000 33 appears to merit a severe penalty, the professor will refer the matter to the appropriate dean or to the Provost. examination, courses in whic h a P grade was assigned, CLEP credits, or credits granted for military service. If a student repeats a course, only the repeat grade is counted. Although developmental courses do not count towards graduation, the credits earned in them are used to determine a student's QPA. Good Academic Standing Students who achieve the minimum Q uality Point Average (QPA) or Grade Point Average (GPA) for their class rank are in good academic standing. Appealing a Grade or Other Academic Decisions Class Rank (Total Credits Earned) Freshman (1-31) Sophomore (32-63) Junior (64-95) Senior (96 or more) University decisions are based upon applicable policies, rational procedures, and sound decision-making principles. Concerning a student's grade, it must be understood that it is not the policy of the administration to change a properly assigned grade - i.e., one based upon recorded grades for quizzes, exams, assignments, projects, and other grade criteria as indicated on the course syllabus or outline. Minimum QPA 1.75 1.85 1.95 2.00 All earned credits including transfer credits and other advanced standing credits that have been officially accepted are counted in determining a student's class rank. All attempted credits at California University are used in determining a student's GPA. However, when a student alleges violations of sound academic grading procedures, the University administration and faculty mutually support a student appeal procedure which gives both the student and the faculty member a fair process to substantiate and/ or refute those allegations. Students who do not achieve the minimum GPA for their class rank will be subject to Academic Probation or Academic Dismissal. Satisfactory Academic Progress is also required for continued eligibility for financial aid. In appealing a grade, a student should first contact the faculty member who issued that grade to discuss the reason for the grade. If the student is not satisfied with the faculty member's explanation, the student should then contact the faculty member's department chairperson. This contact must be in writing and must be filed with the chairperson within thirty working days after the beginning of the fall or spring semester following the term in which the grade in question was given. The chairperson shall notify in writing the student and faculty member of his/her findings and decision within 15 working days of his/her receipt of the appeal from the student. Academic Probation A student whose total number of credits attempted has reached or exceeded twelve and whose overall GP A is below the specified minimum for his or her class rank will be placed on Academic Probation. Before registering for a new term, students on Academic Probation must have their schedules approved by the Associate Provost for Student Retention and must agree to satisfy additional requirements during the probationary semester. A student on Academic Probation who: If accord is not reached through the chairperson, the student may then appeal to the college dean. Such appeal must be in writing and must be filed with the dean within 15 working days from the date of the final written determination of the chairperson. The dean shall notify in writing the student and faculty member of his/her findings and decision within 15 working days of his/her receipt of the appeal from the student. The final source of appeal is the Provost. This final step should be taken only if there is no possibility for resolution at an earlier stage, and only if the student is convinced that arbitrary and/ or capricious standards were applied. The appeal to the Provost must be in writing and must be filed with the Provost within 15 working days from the date of the final written determination of the dean. The Provost shall review the matter and take action as necessary to provide equity in the situation. attains the minimum overall GPA for his or her class rank and satisfies other requirements will be removed from Academic Probation. attains a 2.00 GPA during the probationary semester and satisfies other requirements, but fails to attain the minimum overall GPA for his or he.r class rank will be permitted to return to the university on Continuing Academic Probation. does not attain the overall GPA for his or her class rank and does not achieve a 2.00 GPA for the probationary semester, or fails to satisfy other requirements will be dismissed from the university. Academic Dismissal In the case of other academic decisions, the student should follow the same appeal procedure insofar as possible. In matters relating to student conduct and discipline, the Vice President for Student Development has authority to review student appeals. In matters relating to financial aid, see the section on Financial Aid in this catalog; in matters relating to teacher certification, see the relevant section in this catalog. The university reserves the right to refuse the privilege of further attendance to students who have failed to meet minimum academic requirements. If a student's cumulative grade point average remains below the required minimum after a probationary semester, the term grade point average during a probationary semester is below 2.00, and the student fails to meet other requirements, he or she will be dismissed from the university. Cheating and Plagiarism Truth and honesty are necessary prerequisites for all education, and students who attempt to improve their grades or class standing through any form of academic dishonesty may be penalized by disciplinary action ranging from a verbal reprimand to a failing grade in the course or dismissal from the university. If the situation Incomplete Grades An Incomplete (I) is assigned when a professor is convinced the student can complete or make up work. Faculty members may submit a final grade based on work completed and not accept late California University of Pennsylvania 34 work. However, when appropriate explanation and documentation o f an illness are given, professors will not penalize students if makeups are possible or if grading on work completed is reasonable. T ranscripts are issued as quickly as possible, but in busy periods of the academic year there may be some delay. Requests should therefore be made well before the transcript is due elsewhere. No transcript will be issued to a student whose fin ancial obligations to the university have not been met in full. A fter the required work has been completed, the pro fessor will submit a Change of Grade form to the Academic Records O ffic e. T he student, however, is responsible fo r contacting the pro fessor regarding arrangements which should be made to compl ete the work for the course. (S tudents are not required to register for the course again) Registration Eligibility to Register AU students who have been admitted to the university and who are in good academic, fin ancial, and disciplinary standing are eligible to register. Students who are not in good standing with the university may, under special circumstances, be given clearance to register for classes. If the required work is not completed within one calendar year, the Incomplete grade will be converted to 1-F. T his conversion will occur even if the student has not been enrolled at the university during this calendar year. T he 1-F grade is considered in the computation o f the student's grade point average as an F grade. Students who wish to have an extension o f the time allowed to complete the work must obtain app roval from the dean o f their college. Enrollment and Matriculation A stud ent seeking a degree or credit certificate from California University is considered a matriculated student and must meet the graduation or completion requirements fo r his or her declared major or program. An individual who enrolls fo r classes but is not seeking a degree or credit certificate from Cali fornia University is considered a non-matriculated student. A non-matriculating student wishing to matriculate into a degree or credit certificate program must satisfy admission requirements for that program. G raduating seniors must resolve their Incomplete grades by the last day of classes o f the term in which they intend to graduate. O therwise, these lncompletes immediately become I-F's, and graduation may be correspondingly affected. Grade Reports Registration Procedures At the end of each semester and summer session, grade reports are mailed to stud ents at their permanent home address. For this reason, all stud ents should be certain the Academic Record s O ffice has their correct permanent address. In compliance with th e Family Education Rights and Privacy Act o f 1974, such grade repo rts are sent to stud ents and not to their parents or guardian. A grade report will not be sent if a student's academic reco rd s have been sealed. Registration for an upcoming semes ter may be completed during the registration periods identified in the Schedule o f Classes published each semester. This publication contains specific information and instructions regarding these registration periods. Registration includes academic advising, scheduling courses, and payment of tuition and fees. Prior to scheduling classes, each student should meet with his or her academic advisor to discuss his or her progress and develop a schedule for the upcoming semester. E ntering a student's schedule into the university's registration sys tem creates a fin ancial obligation by the student to th e university, and students who do not make payment arrangements by the announced due date will have their semester schedules canceled. Midterm grades are also reported for some students. These reports are available from each student's academic advisor or in the O ffice of Student Retention. Transcripts Transcripts are issued by th e Academic Records O ffice, Room 103 in the Administration Building. Each transcript costs $3.00, and payment must be received before the transcript is issued. Checks and money orders should be made payable to California University o f Penn sylvania. AJJ transcripts arc issued according to the provisions of the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act o f 1974 as amend ed: see also the section on Confidentiality o f Reco rds in this catalog. Credit Overload During the Fa!J and Spring semesters, full -time students may register for 18 credits without special permission. Students wishing to regis ter for 19 or more credits must obtain written permission from their advisor and the Dean o f their college. O nly in exceptional circumstances will a student be a!Jowed to register for more than 21 credits. Additional tuition and fees are charged for alJ credits in excess o f 18. A request fo r a transcript must be made in writing, to ensure that academic in formation is not improperly disclosed. Telephone requests for transcripts cann ot be honored. T he reques t may be made by completing a form in th e Academic Records O ffi ce or by writing a letter to that office indicating (a) the number of transcripts required, (b) the type of transcripts required (i.e., undergraduate, graduate, or both), and (c) the name and address o f the person or institution where the transcript should be sent. Transcripts will not be issued to a th ird party without the written consent of the student. During the Summer terms, students may register for 6 credits in any one session or 18 credits fo r the summ er without special permission. Matriculating students wishing to register for additional credits during the Summer terms must obtain written permission from the D ean o f their college, and non-matriculating students wishing to register fo r additional credits must obtain permission from the Director of the Summer School Program. Students are charged tuition and fees on a per credit basis for alJ courses during the summ er. If a transcript is issued to a studen t, a notation to that effect appears on th e transcript. Transcripts marked in this manner are sometimes not considered official when presented to a third party by the student. Admission to a Closed Section A student seeking admission to a closed section should obtain a schedule adjustment form and consult with the instructo r or chairperson of the department which o ffers the course. Admission Undergraduate Catalog 1999-2000 35 3. Students may drop courses without having a grade assigned during the first six weeks of a semester; before the end of the second week of a five-week summer term; or before the end of the fourth week of a ten-week summer term. to a closed section requires the signature of the instructor or department chair and the dean of the college which offers the course. Repeating a Course 4. After the deadline for dropping a course without grade assignment, stud ents who drop a course or courses will receive WP or WF grades. Each professor will assign the appropriate grade and the College Dean will translate A, B, and C grades to WP, and D and F grades to WF. A student may repeat a course previously taken at California University. In such cases, only the later grade will be counted in the student's QPA. The original grade, however, will remain on the student's transcript. Some courses may be repeated for credit and are exempt from this policy. 5. No student is permitted to drop a course: during the last three weeks of a semester; during the last two weeks of a five-week summer term; o r during the last three weeks o f a ten-week summer term. Auditing A Course A student may audit a course with the understanding that he or she will receive neither a grade nor credit for the course. The course will be listed on the student's transcript without affecting the Q PA. Once a course is registered for audit, it canno t be converted back to a credit course. 6. Ceasing to attend class does not constitute official withdrawal! Students must officiall y drop from a course. Leaving a course without officially dropping it may result in the assignment of an F grade by the professor. If the professor does not assign a grade, the designation o f UW (unauthorized withdrawal) will be assigned by the Registrar. Students may register to audit a course according to the following schedule: 15 week session - within the first 6 weeks 5 week session - within the first 2 weeks 10 week session - within th e first 4 weeks Audit courses are billed at the same rate as co urses taken fo r credit. Audit form s are available in the Academic Records Office Room ' 103 of the Administratio n Building. Withdrawal from the University A student who decides to withdraw from the university during any academic term, regardless o f the reason, must contact the Academic Records Office immediately. All withdrawals are governed by the following regulations: Credit By Examination/Course Challenges 1. An honorable dismissal is granted to a student who withdraws fro m th e university in the official manner, has met all financial obligations to the university, and has been properly cleared by the Registrar. Students may earn credit for a course by passing an examination rather than taking the co urse. In order to do so, the student must obtain permissio n from the chairperson of the department that offers the course and the Provost. The student must register for the course and pay tuition and fees for the co urse. O nce a student registers to challenge a course, it cannot be converted back to a regular course. 2. If the student withdraws officially during the first six weeks of a semester, a W grade is recorded for each course scheduled. AW grade carries no academic penalty and is not counted in the student's QPA. For an official withdrawal from a five-week session, W grades will be recorded during the first two weeks only. Students may register to challenge a course acco rding to the following schedule: 15 week session - within the first 6 weeks 5 wee k session - within the first 2 weeks 10 week session - within the first 4 weeks Only grades o f P (Pass) o r F (Fail) will be recorded, and the course will be furth er identified on the student's transcript by the symbol CE. A passing grade does not affect the QPA; however, a failing grade will lower the QPA. Earned credits will count towards graduation. 3. After th e sixth week o f the semester, a student who makes an official withdrawal receives WP o r WF grades in all courses scheduled. Professors assign A, B, C, D , or F grades, and the Dean assigns WP grades to A, B, and C, and WF to D o r F grades. For five -week courses the WP-WF grades are assigned after the end of the second week. 4. o student is permitted to withdraw o fficially fro m the university during the last three weeks o f a semester or summer term. Course challenge forms may be obtained in the Academic Records Office, Room 103 of the Administration Building. 5. Leaving the university without notifying the Academic Records Office and making an official withdrawal may result in automatic failure for all courses scheduled. It also makes the student ineligible for refund of tuitio n and fee s, and may affect academic status and financial aid. Improper withdrawals will be classified as unauthorized withdrawal and the designation UW used for all registered courses if another grade has not already been assigned by th e professor. Schedule Adjustments (Add/Drop) Class schedules may be changed during the add/ drop period using the schedule adjustment forms. All schedule adjustments are governed by the following regulations. 1. Prior to making schedule adjustments, a student should consult with his or her academic advisor to discuss how th e adjustment will affect his or her academic progress. Administrative Withdrawals 2. Courses may be added prio r to the seco nd class meeting during the Fall and Spring semesters and during the first day of a summer term. Adding a course may require the signature of the instructor, department chair, and /or college dean. The university administration has the authority to withdraw a student from the university and to revoke that student's registration at any time for the following reasons: California University o f Pennsylvania 36 ~- Registration in violation of university regulations (e.g., academic rneligibihty to register). Readmission to the University Students who wish to return to the university after an absence of three consecutive terms and are in good standing with the uruvers1ty must apply for readmission to the dean of the undergraduate college in which they will be enrolled following their readmission. 2. Failure to comply with academic requirements (e.g., unsatisfactory class attendance, violation of the learning contract for students on academic probation, etc.). 3. Failure to pay university tuition and fees by the due date. In cases of Academic Dismissal, readmission to the university is not automatic. Students who have been dismissed for unsatisfactory academic performance will be considered for readmission only if they have satisfied the conditions for readmission that were stipulated at the time of their dismissal. Students_who have been academically dismissed must apply for readrruss1on through the Office of Student Retention. 4. Disciplinary suspension or dismissal for the remainder of an academic term or longer. 5. Severe psychological or health problems such that the student cannot be permitted to continue in attendance. 6. Other reasons deemed appropriate by the proper administrative officer. Any student who has been academically dismissed will be denied Title IV financial assistance (federal grants, loans, and student employment). Therefore, if readmitted, the student must attend without the benefit of Title IV financial aid until the required minimum GPA for his or her class rank and/or the completion of the rrurumum credit hour standard have been achieved. Exceptions may be considered for students on Financial Aid probation or have filed a Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) appeal (please refer to the Satisfactory Academic Progress policy statement issued by the Office of Financial Aid). Grades of WP, WF, WX are recorded for Administrative Withdrawals. The grade of WX is not computed in the student's grade po_int average and therefore involves no academic penalty. The Registrar must authorize the recording of this grade. If a student registers in violation of the academic eligibility rule, the registration is declared invalid, the tuition and fees paid by the student are refunded in full, and no grades are recorded. In other cases of Administrative Withdrawal, the date of the withdrawal and the reason for the withdrawal are used to determine the grade to be recorded and the amount of tuition and fees to be assessed or cancelled. In most cases, the regular tuition and fee assessment and refund policies of the university prevail. In the case of Disciplinary Suspensions or Dismissals, students must satisfy the conditions for readmission that were stipulated at the time of their dismissal, and receive permission from the Vice President for Student Development to return to the university. Applications for readmission should be submitted at least one week before the registration date for the term in which the student desires to enroll. For Administrative Withdrawals during the first six weeks of a semester or two weeks in a five-week summer session, the grade of WX is recorded for all courses on a student's schedule. No other grades, such as Incomplete, are assigned. After this period, the date of the Administrative Withdrawal and the reason for the withdrawal are considered. Former students will not be readmitted to the university until all past indebtedness has been paid. 1. For failure to comply with academic requirements, only WP or WF grades are assigned. College Level Equivalency Program (CLEP) 2. For failure to pay tuition and fees, only WX is assigned. The university offers the opportunity to earn undergraduate credit through the College Level Equivalency Program (CLEP), which has two testing categories, the General Examination and the Subject Examination. The General Examination is a series of tests in five separate areas: English Composition, Natural Sciences Mathematics Humanities and Social Science/History. A student ~ay earn up t~ thirty credit~ by passing the appropriate tests in this area. 3. For Disciplinary Suspension or Dismissal, only WP or WF grades are assigned. 4. For health or psychological reasons, WX or - only with the approval of the affected instructor - an Incomplete may be assigned. The Subject Examination comprehensively tests a single subject, such as General Psychology, Statistics, etc. A student who passes one of these examinations is awarded credit for a comparable course at the university. The CLEP program is administered by the Office of Career Planning and Placement Services in the Learning Research Center and the Southpointe Center. There is a one-time fee of $25.00 for evaluation of the CLEP results and recording the results on the student's transcripts. 5. For other reasons not covered in 1-4, grade assignments will be at the discretion of the Provost or his or her designee. The Registrar has the authority to antedate an administrative withdrawal if circumstances warrant such action. Disciplinary suspensions or dismissals are initiated by the appropriate authority in the Office of Student Development and written notification is sent to the Academic Records Office who cancels the student's registration and notifies other adminis~ative offices and faculty members as necessary. The university does not grant credits for Life Experience If faculty members have reason to inquire about a specific case of Administrative Withdrawal, they should consult the Registrar or the Office of the Provost. In certain cases, the student's right to confidentiality may not permit full disclosure of the circumstances. Undergraduate Catalog 1999-2000 37 Undergraduate Credit for Graduate Course (b) Undergraduate students may enroll in graduate courses for undergraduate credit if they meet the necessary requirements for those courses. Individual departments determine the prerequisites for each course. Graduate status may be a prerequisite for admission to some courses. G raduate credits used to fulfill undergraduate requirements may not also be used to fulfill requirements in a graduate program. each maj or must be satisfied before the degree is conferred, and only one degree is conferred. t\ Second Major may be pursued only (a) after the completion of a baccalaureate degree and (b) in the same degree area as a first major. It does not lead to a second degree. The prospective student must apply through the O ffic e of Admissions, register the intention of pursuing a Second Major, and fulfill any o f the requirements of that Second Major that have not yet been satisfied. 2. More than one Baccalaureate Degree Graduate Credit Load for Seniors A Dual Degree is the simultaneous pursuit of two degrees in different degree areas. Courses from one major area may be used to satisfy requirements in the other major; however, a minimum of 158 credits must be accumulated in order for both degrees to be awarded. All departmental, college and university requirements for the two degree areas must be satisfied. There will be one transcript with both degree areas recorded. (b) Any student who has previously earned a degree from a regionally accredited institution (including Cali fornia University o f Penn sylvania) may pursue a Second Degree. T his degree must be in a different degree area than the first. T ransfer credits from other institutions and prior credits from California University of Pennsylvania may be used to satisfy requirements for the second degree; however, a minimum of 30 resident credits must be accumulated beyond the number of credits completed at the time the first degree was awarded. Free elective courses must be taken, if necessary, to fulfill this 30 credit requirement. All depa.rtmental, college and university requirements fo r this degree must be satisfied. All courses completed will be recorded on a separate transcript. Students seeking a second degree must apply for admission in the O ffic e o f Admissions. (a) Undergraduates who are in their last term on campus and who are completing or have completed all the requirem ents for their undergraduate degree may enroll in graduate classes for graduate credit. They must fulfill all requirements for entrance into Graduate School (other than the undergraduate degree or teaching certification). Transfer Credits Current students who wish to take courses at some other college or university to transfer back to California University, should get approval to do so from their advisor and from the dean of their college at California University before registering for and taking such courses. Students seeking to transfer credits to California University should note the foll owing guidelines: 1. Transfer credits are usually determined by their equivalency to California University courses. 2. Only courses in which a grade o f C or better is earned will transfer. 3. Credits transfer, but grades and quality points do not. Transfer credits cannot raise a student's Q PA; therefore, do not take repeat courses at another institution. (The university will not award an associate degree to a student who holds a baccalaureate degree in the same area.) 4. Courses taken at a community college, the equivalents o f which arc designated as upper-level courses at Califo rnia, may transfer only as electives rather than equivalents to courses o ffered at California University. Graduation Requirements Students should become acquainted with the graduation requirements fo r their program o f study. Students are responsible for meeting all graduation requirements and for submitting the required forms on time. Compliance with the following general policies and procedures will help students prepare fo r graduation: Dual Majors, Second Majors And Second Degrees California University grants the following degrees: B.A.; B.S.; B.S. in Education; B.S.N; and A.S. (All except the last are four-year, baccalaureate degrees.) These are referred to below as degree areas. 1. The period during which application for graduation must be made is posted throughout campus and printed in the Schedule o f Classes and the California Times. Students must apply fo r graduation in th e appropriate dean's o ffice by the deadline. All credentials for graduation, including an application for a teaching certificate where appropriate and transcripts o f credits from other institutions, must be submitted on time. Graduation may be delayed if a student's record is incomplete. A distinction is drawn between the foll owing objectives and opportunities and between the means to achieve them: (1) a Dual Major; (2) a Second Major; (3) a Second D egree and (4) a Dual Degree. These opportunities, as explained below, are the only ones offered. The university will, fo r example, award only one degree from any degree area. None of these opportunities should be confused with any certification programs, such as th ose in T eacher E ducation. 2. A minimum o f 128 semester credits, including the satisfactory completion o f all required courses, is necessary fo r graduation. D evelopmental courses, ENG 100, DMA 092, O MA 094, and ED E 100, do not count towards graduation, though the credits earned in them are used to determine class standing and grade point average. 1. More than O ne Major: (a) Dual Major is the pursuit o f two separate baccalaureate majors simultaneously. These maj ors may be in a single department or two departments, and each must be recorded in the appropriate dean's o ffic e. Courses from one major area may be used to satisfy requirements in th e other major. Both majo rs are recorded on the transcript, but all requirements fo r 3. Students in all curricula must complete a minimum of th irty credits o f the las t sixty credits at Cali fo rnia University of Penn sylvania. California University o f Penn sylvania 38 4. An overall grade point average of 2.5 is required in the T eacher E ducation curricula. An overall grade point average o f 2.0 is required in most programs of study. Certain other programs may require minimum grades in courses within the major. first degree, if applicable, and in the present baccalaureate degree program). An associate degree-seeking student designated as a Presidential Scholar must have a cumulative GPA of 3.25 at California and have completed 45 credits, all of which must have been taken at this university. Both full-time and part-time students may, if qualified, be named Presidential Scholars. 5. In the College of Education and Human Services, candidates in teacher education programs must complete Stud ent T eaching. 6. All financial obligations to the university must be paid in full before graduation can be approved. Conferring of Degrees D egrees are conferred in May (at the end of the spring semester), in August (at the end of the summer session), and in D ecember (at the end of the fall semester); but Commencement is held only once a year, in May. Stud ents who graduate in August or D ecember may participate in the Commencement exercises of the following May, but their diplomas and o fficial university transcripts record their date of graduation as of th e month and year in which their degree was conferred. Attendance at the Commencement exercises is appropriate, unless unusual circumstances warrant graduation in absentia. Permission to graduate in absentia is gran ted by the President o f the university, or his designee. Candidates fo r graduation should contact the President's O ffic e, or his designee's office, and request permission to be excused from the Commencement ceremony. A graduate of Cali fornia University of Pennsylvania is a member o f the class of that calendar year in which the degree was conferred. That is, if one graduated in May, August, or December of 1999, one is a member o f the class o f 1999 regardless o f the year one may have attended Commencement. Honors at Graduation Commencement Honors are awarded to students in the graduating class who have earned 64 credits at California Unive rsity in a baccalaureate degree program and achieved th e required Q PA. Highest H onors (Summa Cum Laude) High Honors (Magna Cum Laude) Honors (C um Laude) 3.75 to 4.0 3.50 to 3.74 3.25 to 3.49 Credits, grades, and quality points earned as part o f a previously completed associate or first degree are not used to calculate commencement honors designations. Dean's Llst/Semester Honors Highes t Honors High Honors H onors 3.75 to 4.0 3.50 to 3.74 3.25 to 3.49 Honors Convocation The university recognizes, encourages and rewards academic excellence on the part of Master's, baccalaureate, and associate degree-seeking students by naming Presidential Scholars at the annual Honors Convocation in th e spring semester. This award is a unique distinction, separate and apart from Commencement H onors. A baccalaureate degree-seeking student designated as a Presidential Scholar must have a cumulative G PA of 3.25 in a baccalaureate program and have completed 64 credits (if a junior) and 96 credits (if a senior), o f which at least 30 must have been taken at this university (calculated beyond an earned associate degree or other Undergraduate Catalog 1999-2000 39 c. All necessary academic and / or financial records of students may Confidentiality Of Records be disclosed to the appropriate persons or agencies without a studen t's prior consent in connection with a student's application for, or receipt of, financial aid. d. Further limited disclosure of certain kind s of information may be required in special circumstances in compliance with the federal law previously cited. The university's policies on the confidentiality and discl osure of student records are based on the Family E ducation Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (Public Law 93-380), as amended. I. Introduction Official student records are established and maintained in a number of administrative offices for a variety of legi timate educational purposes.

Students may challenge the accuracy and / or appropriateness o f material combined in their fil es. Once such a challenge has been made in writing, it will be the responsibility of the university o fficial in charge of the file to determine the validity o f the challenge, if possible. T he university o fficial shall make a written response to the challenge o f the stud ent, specifying th e action taken. Should a factual error be found in any materials, the university official is authorized to make the appropriate corrections. 3. If options 1 and 2 of this section are un satisfactory, students may request a formal hearing to challenge inaccurate, misleading, or inappropriate information in their records. The University Record Hearing Committee shall conduct a hearing in accordance with the procedures outlined in Public Law 93-380, as amended. 4. The substantive judgment of a facu lty member or administrator about a student's work, as exp ressed in grades and / o r written evaluations, is not within the purview o f thi s policy statement. Such challenges by stud ents may be made through th e regular administrative channel s al ready in existence for such purposes. II. Ownership of Records All records kept concerning studen ts, including those record s originating at other colleges or universities and required for admission, are the property of California University o f Pennsylvania. III . Definition of a Student A studen t is defined as any person currently or previously matriculated on an o fficial basis in any academic program o f the University. IV. Public Information Regarding Students 1. The following is classified as public and may be released with out the prior consent of a student: a student's name, address (both local and permanent), telephone number, e-mail add ress, place and date o f birth, academic curriculum, dates of attendance, date of graduation, degrees and awards received, most recent educational institution attended, participation in stud ent activities (including athletics), and height and weight (for athletic team s).

T his includes the responsibility for the release of confidential information only to au th orized perso ns. 2. A log sheet, indicati ng the inspectio n or release of a student's file, must be kept in the student's file. 3. University o fficials may classify student materials and records under their supervision as ac tive or inactive as circumstances warrant. At the discretion of the o fficial in charge, inactive record s may remain in th e file but need not be circulated. Inactive records may be reviewed by a student upon requ est. 4. A University o fficial may take th e initiative in an attempt to purge unfavorable evaluations, or opinion records of a prejudicial nature, in a student's fil e. This may be done by returning the material to th e person who submitted it o r by req uesting from the auth or that the material be des troyed . 2. Students may request that any or all o f this in formation not be made public. Such requests must be submitted in writing to the Academic Records Office or (in the case o f graduate students) to the Dean of the School o f Graduate Studies before the beginning of any academic term. V. Disclosure of Student Records 1. Upon proper identification, students may inspect th eir own official records in the presence o f the administrator in charge of records. 2. After a request to inspect a record has been received, the request must be honored within a reasonable period o f time: according to federal law, not to exceed 45 days. 3.

Provost and Vice-President for Academic Affairs 2. Vice-President fo r Student Development and Services 3. Vice-President fo r Administration and Finance 4. Vice-President fo r Unive rsity Advancement These offic ers are responsible for the maintenance of all official studen t records under their ju risdiction in acco rdance with the policies of this statement and the relevant state and federal laws. If further in fo rmation is required, a student should contac t the appropriate university offic ial . California University of Pennsylvania 40 Academic Organization complete the program, which includes student teaching, and receive a teaching certificate. The College of Education and Human Services has established standards that all education majors must meet in order to complete the Teacher Education Program. Some of these standards are embodied in the Admission to Teacher Education Program, which must be initiated by the candidate during the semester following the completion of 64 credits. Under the direction o f the Provos t, three undergraduate colleges and the Graduate School administer the academic affairs of the university. Each of these divisions are administered by a dean who is responsible for the operation o f th e college or school. In addition, University College, Lifelong Learning and the EveningWeekend College, and the Southpointe Center provide specialized programs and services to distinct student populations. To be admitted to and progress through the Teacher Education Program, a student must complete the following steps: 1. By the completion of 32 credits, the student will complete 15 hours of field experience in an approved site and file a report in the departmental office, achieve a 2.50 QPA overall, meet th e entry requirements in reading, math, and writing by test or course work, pass a speech and hearing test, and complete an initial admission orientation and the sign-off sheet. 2. By the completion of 64 credits, the student will achieve a 2.50 QPA overall, and in the major, complete a cumulative total of 30 hours o f field experience in approved sites and file reports in the departmental office, take and pass the General Knowledge and Communication Skills test of Praxis Series Core Battery Tests, and receive a positive recommendation from the department screening committee. (NOTE: Students who fail to meet the requirements of steps 1 and 2 may not be permitted to register for courses in their area of specialization.) 3. By the completion of 96 credits, the student must receive a second positive recommendation from the department screening committee, complete a cumulative minimum of 45 hours in approved field experiences and file reports in the departmental office, and apply for student teaching. 4. By the completion of 96 credits and before student teaching, the student will maintain a 2.50 QPA overall, in the major, complete all courses required for student teaching (see department policy statement), present a portfolio which inco rporates/ demonstrates essential performance competencies established by the student's major department, and submit ACT 34 and 151 clearance prior to student teaching. (NOTE: Some departments may require this clearance prior to field experiences.) 5. By the completion of a minimum of 128 credits and for graduation in a teaching education major, the student will maintain a 2.50 QPA overall, and in the maj or complete steps 1 through 4 of the admission and retention process, successfully complete student teaching, and complete all required forms and return them to the Dean's office by the posted deadline. 6. The requirements for receiving a recommendation for teacher certification, the candidate will complete steps 1 through 5 of the admission and retention process, take and pass the Principles of Learning and Teaching and appropriate Specialty Area sections of the Praxis Series, and complete and return the required documents to the Dean's office. The College of Education and Human Services The College of Education and Human Services is composed of the departments of Academic Development Services, Communication Disorders, Counselor E ducation & Services, Educational Studies, Elementary Educatio n/Early Childhood, Health Science and Sport Studies, Social Work and Gerontology and Special Education. Teacher education programs are o ffered through the departments of Educational Studies, Elementary Education and Early Childhood, and Special Education and through the department of Applied Engineering and Technology in the Eberly College of Science and Technology. The departments of Academic Development Services, Health Science and Sport Studies and Social Work and Gerontology form the human services component of the College. The department of Communication Disorders offers an undergraduate program, but it does not lead to teacher certification. Certification in Communication Disorders is offered at the graduate level only. Counselor Education and Services offers programs leading to graduate degrees and to elementary and seco ndary counselo r ce rtifications. Teacher Education Program California University o f Pennsylvania has a long and distinguished history of preparing teachers for the school s of the Commonwealth with nearly 30,000 teacher education alumni. The College of Education and 1-1 uman Services has developed and maintained a reputation of excellence in the preparation of teachers. Because o f its accreditation by N CA TE, and its requirement of the Praxis II teacher certification examinations, California's graduates are able to obtain a teaching certificate in every state in the U.S. Upon completion o f a Teaching Certification Program in the College of Education and Human Services, a student will receive a Bachelor of Science in Education degree and an Instructional I Certificate. All candidates for teaching degrees must also take the Praxis II examination. The Certificate is a license to teach in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and is valid for up to six years. To convert the Instructional I Certificate into a lifetime valid Instructional II Certificate, a teacher mu st have three years of successful teaching experience and a Master's Degree, or must complete six credits every five years. These credits may be undergraduate, graduate, or in-service credits o r any combination. The only restriction is that these credits must be taken at a fouryear institution. Professional Field Experiences Ed ucators have observed that those who enter the teaching profession with a wide variety of contacts with young children, adolescents, and adults usually become superior teachers. To provide such con tacts, each department has devised a program of professional field experiences. Admission to Teacher Education Field-based and clinical experiences are systematically and sequentially selected to provide opportunities for education Admission to the university is not a guarantee that a student majoring in education will be admitted to Teacher Education, Undergraduate Catalog 1999-2000 41 resolution at an earlier stage, and only if the student is convinced that arbitrary and/ or capricious standards were applied. students to observe, plan, and practice in a variety of professional settings. Students participate in field-based and/ or clinical experiences with culturally diverse and exceptional populations, and in some cases, these experiences include not only school activities but also activities in community agencies. U.S. Citizenship -A Requirement for Teacher Certification in Pennsylvania Permanent certificate will not be granted to any person who is not a citizen of th e United States, and no provisional certificate may be granted to an y person wh o is not a citizen or who has not declared in writing to the Department of Education the intention o f becoming a citizen. Student Teaching Student teaching is conducted under the supervision of the Director of Student Teaching. Students who are candidates for certification are required to earn twelve semester hours o f credit in student teaching. However, student teaching is a competency based program and may continue beyond one semester. Graduation in General Education Students who have been working toward teacher certification but are unabl e to complete th e requirements o f the teacher education program or who change their career plans may, with special permission, graduate in General Education withou t teach er certification. This option requires that, with the approval o f the Dean of th e College of Education and Human Services and the Director of Student Teaching, the stud ent may complete 12 credits in lieu o f student teaching. To initiate the process, the student must make a request, in writing and in person, to th e Director o f Student Teaching. Candidates are certified to teach only if they demonstrate ability to teach effectively. Teaching competency is determined by the Director of Student Teaching, the university supervisor, and th e cooperating teacher or teachers. T he student teacher is also required to take a practicum while student teaching. Student teachers are not generally permitted to enroll in oth er courses during the student teaching experience. Student teaching is normally conducted in selected public schools located in the service area of the university. Alternative programs are also available. Interested students should discuss this possibility with the Director of Student Teaching. The College of Llberal Arts The institutional philosophy regarding student teaching is to prepare students adequately to assume their responsibilities in the teaching profession with the knowledge and skill essential to their areas of specialization. Student teaching is designed to provide a climate wherein the student may exhibit creativity and the ability to make critical judgments based upon knowledge and reason. The Liberal Arts are conce rned wi th human values and social issues. They depend on the ability to think analyticall y, to understand other cultures and their history, as well as our own, and to appreciate artistic responses to our world. Liberal /\ rts disciplines enrich life by giving it greater meaning and by enabling people to adapt to changing employment, personal, and social demands. In essence, a liberal arts education stresses the transferability o f knowledge and skills from one circumstance to another, ensuring that th e individual can meaningfully adapt to new personal and professional situations. Applications for student teaching may be secured at the Dean's Office and must be submitted in February for the nex t academic year. Before students may be assigned to student teaching, they must: 1. Be admitted to Teacher E ducation 2. Obtain departmental approval as having satisfactorily completed the required preparatory work 3. Maintain a quality point average of 2.50 in the specialization and overall QPA The College of Liberal /\rts is comprised of the departments of /\rt, Communication Studies, Earth Science, E nglish, Foreign Languages and Cultures, History, Music, Philosophy, Psychology, Social Sciences, and Theatre. Those departments o ffer a diverse array of major and minor programs of study. Transfer students are not assigned to student teaching until they have completed at leas t 24 credits of work at this university. Graduates of other colleges and universities must meet the requirements of admission to Teacher Education before being assigned to student teaching. The Liberal Arts philosophy informs all programs o f study within the College. J\ broad general education course of study encourages students to explore a variety o f course o fferings and to become aware o f the ways many different disciplines understand and view th e wo rld. Student Teaching for Experienced Teachers Students should select a major by the end of the third regular semester or upon the completion of 45 credit hours. T his does not prohibit students from changing their major later in their careers; howeve r, they will have difficulty completing requirements within eight semesters if they change majors after three semesters. Teachers who have had one or more years of teaching experience may be permitted to complete the student teaching requirement by special arrangement after consultation with the Director o f Student Teaching. Students who do not want a major limited to a single discipline have program options in Liberal Studies, Humanities, and Social Sciences. The curriculum in each is flexible and permits interdisciplinary study. Appeal Procedure for Certification Students Students appealing decisions regarding teaching certification should contact the Dean of E ducation and Human Services to discuss their concern. If accord is not reached at this level, the student may appeal to the Vice President for Academic Affairs. Support Services The College supports the Writing Center and the School Psychology Clinic. The Writing Center assists any student with writing p roblems, while the School Psychology Clinic provides free testing in several areas. In formation about what tests are o ffered The final source o f appeal is with the Certification Appeals Committee, D epartment of Education, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. This step should be taken only if there is no possibility for a California University of Penn sylvania 42 and when they are given can be obtained at the Psychology Department Office, Room 319, LRC. The School of Graduate Studies and Research The College Office provides a number of student services.

Commercial art, in advertising and in broadcast media, continues to be a major employer of art students. The BA in Art Education will provide a student with K-12 certification for teaching art in th e public schools in the elementary and secondary levels. Purpose The study of artistic expression is a study of the development of art forms such as sculpture and painting; the study of technique, that is the use of color, design, and perspective to achieve the artist's objectives; and a retrospective on what a culture and society has seen, valued, and understood about its place in the world order. Graduates with studio art training have opportunities to work in various museum settings, in art galleries and in interior decorating establishments. They also can seek positions in design departments and as art directors in large corporations. Artists can use their talents in conjunction with other areas of specialty, such as Biology, History, and Archaeology. Artists can be illustrators in these areas. Art is a product of human creativity, a manifestation of the human spirit and meaning. The study of art is included in a liberal education because it informs students about the universal search for meaning and meaningful expression, about their past, and about how each person learns to move from a literal and concrete level of understanding to a more symbolic one. Programs Finally, artists may link the study of art with anoth er discipline. Examples include medical art; the utilization of art in therapy, for persons interested in the areas of psychology and art; and the linkage of art, archaeology, and history in the recording of artifacts and in reconstructive work. T he Art major can take (1) a general Art major or (2) an Art Certification program for teaching in either a primary or a secondary school. The certification program is undertaken in conjunction with area colleges and universities, which o ffer certification in Art. Art courses are taken at California University and Art Education and student teaching courses are taken through the cooperating college of university.

Undergraduate Catalog 1999-2000 69 Communication Studies Register for and complete 16-18 credit-hours each semester. Purpose Communication Studies is the discipline that focuses on human communicative behavior and its influence on our personal, professional, social and cultural lives. The faculty in Communication Studies believes that human communication is fundamental to an individual's capacity to function as an effective and ethical participant in an information society. To that end, students should understand communication from both broad theoretical and specifically applied perspectives. Accordingly, the department offers courses and activities designed to help students deal with the demands of varied communication situations. The curriculum provides the student with an opportunity: to understand more fully the human communication process and how it affects the ways people interact when making decisions, developing relationships, and influencing each other, and to develop communication skills which enhance the individual person's capacity to function in communication situations at work, home, social gatherings, and in civic organizations. Complete both ENG 101 & 102 before taking other writing courses. Select courses to compensate for Internship ineligibility. Complete major courses on schedule and make-up shortcomings in General Education and electives during summer terms. In addition to the four options identified above, students majoring in any other program on campus may minor in one of three minor concentrations available in Communication Studies - Public Communication, Public Relations, and Television Production. Successful completion of any of the three minor programs requires that the student complete twenty-one (21) credits. The academic programs are enhanced by co-curricular activities. In addition, junior and senior students who have maintained a 3.0 grade point average are encouraged to seek internship opportunities in regional radio-television studios, public relations agencies, advertising firms, municipal governments, school districts, hospitals, labor organizations, and businesses. Programs Students majoring in Communication Studies have four academic program options: The Speech Communication Concentration focuses on developing an understanding of the uniquely human capacity for producing and using symbols. Throughout life, during nearly every conscious minute, humans are either formulating messages or passing judgment on the messages formulated by others. Students in this program develop an understanding of and skill in the human ability to share and examine facts, ideas, opinions, values, and attitudes. The on-campus television studio and radio station provides students with "hands-on" production experience in the electronic media. The television studio supports student video production. The radio station, WVCS, broadcasts regionally. It is a studentoperated and student-managed station. Honor Society Pi Kappa Delta is the honor society for intercollegiate debaters, individual events competitors, and teachers of communication. The Penn Zeta Chapter was organized in 1963. Undergraduate students can achieve membership in this society if they meet the minimum standards of forensic participation and are extended an invitation to join. Further information can be obtained at the departmental office. The Radio/ Television Concentration emphasizes the application of mass communication theory to audio and video production. The electronic communication media have had an immense impact on human communication. Understanding the dynamics of these technologies and their effects is the most important focus on this degree program. Graduates will have an understanding of the dynamics, as well as, skills necessary to function in entry level jobs in many organizations concerned with mediated messages. Awards Each year the faculty in Communication Studies selects a deserving graduating senior as an Outstanding Graduate. The honoree receives a plaque, a one-year membership in the Speech Communication Association, the national organization for communication professionals, and a one year subscription to one of its five professional journals. The Public Relations Concentration seeks to create graduates who understand how public opinion emerges and changes. It seeks to provide the tools graduates will need for helping clients track changes in public opinion and create messages using an ever increasing variety of media. Students who complete the degree requirements may advise a wide variety of organizations regarding their publics' responses to policies, programs, campaigns, and messages. Careers Aside from the obvious careers in broadcast journalism or public relations, graduates can obtain positions in management training programs, as speech writers and as salespeople. Communicating effectively and evaluating the communication efforts of others are inescapable activities associated with any job. By understanding the theory and mastering the skills associated with a Communication Studies degree program, graduates who can demonstrate their capabilities make themselves attractive to a wide variety of employers. The fourth option is for persons who want to teach in the area of Communication. The Communication Studies Department in cooperation with the College of Education and Human Services provides course work necessary for secondary school certification in communication with a speech concentration. Assuming that it is desirable to graduate in the normal four-year period, it is expected that students will: An undergraduate major or minor in communication studies is an asset for careers in law, religion, education, labor relations, politics, marketing and human resource development. Unless one seeks California University of Pennsylvania 70 employmen t in which highly technical, specialized knowledge is required (e.g. accounting, medical technology, computer programming, and others) the career opportunities with a Communication Studies degree are extensive. Those considering a degree in this department are urged to consult with the chairperson or other faculty in the department to identify additional possibilities.

All entries are judged by a special committee of the E nglish Department. T he two winners receive $150 prizes plus certificates of merit, both awarded at a luncheon in May. Purpose English is a comprehensive discipline. Its scope encompasses a study of the evolution of the 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 literature. The Minor W. Major Award is given annually to a junior who has achieved distinction in the study of E nglish. T he award is based on merit alone. A departmental committee reviews th e academic records of prospective recipients, usually E nglis h majors, and singles out the student who best meets its standard s. The award, named for Dr. Minor W. Major, late professor of E nglish, includes a certificate of merit and cash. As a course of study, 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 are boundless, the content emotive as well as rational. What is written is a personal and social record of the struggle to create meaning. Insight into the past and present creates a common core of ideas to be considered by scholars in many disciplines. The English Faculty Award is given annually to the student in English whose development has been mos t noteworthy over four years. The recipient receives a certificate of merit and an inscribed book, awarded at the senior dinner in May. Language competency is essential to the exchange of ideas, the successful completion of course work and meaningful employment. To insure that students will develop their language skills and will have the means to meet these expectations, the university requires that all entering students take the E nglish placement examination. Initial course placement is based on the results of that examination. Placement into either ENG 100 E nglish Language Skills or ENG 101 Composition I depends on the results of this holistically scored writing sample. Since college performance incorporates the ability to express ideas clearly, all students are encouraged to take the two composition courses during their first semesters. Careers Besides preparing students for graduate work in English and American literature, English education, linguistics, library studies, law, communication, and a number of other fields , the English program offers career opportunities in such positions as secondary school teacher, newspaper reporting, magazine editing, creative writing, public information, advertising, copywriting, communications, proof reading, and radio and television editing. Programs The English major has several concentrations including the general E nglish program and three concentrations in the Professional Writing: Creative Writing, Journalism, Scientific and Technical Writing and Journalism. For persons who want to teach English or to teach in an allied area, secondary school certification in E nglish, in Theater and in Communication are offered in cooperation with the College of E ducation and Human Services. General Education Students who enter California University under this catalog (after Spring 1999) will follow the new General Education Program.

In this sense familiarity with speaking and reading a foreign language and being aware of how persons in other countries think about the world is pragmatic. Instruction in an un familiar language also helps students see the world from a different perspective. Inasmuch as that occurs, students improve self-awareness, lose a blind ethnocentrism, and gain a greater appreciation of all cultures, including their own. Students who enter California University under this catalog (after Spring 1999) will follow the new General Education Program. Please consult the description of the new program in this catalog for a list of General Education Goals and Objectives and the courses included on the menus for the various goals. Please note, some courses on a menu may be required for accreditation or certification in particular degree programs. Students should consult with their advisors regarding such requirements.

Positions with professional teams exist; however, they are fewer in number than those associated with interscholastic athletic programs. Purpose and Programs The Department of Health Science & Sport Studies offers the Athletic Training Education Program (ATEP), accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP) and the State Board of Physical Therapy. Students may major in athletic training or combine athletic training with teacher education. The basic concept of athletic training involves prevention, care, treatment, and rehabilitation of athletic m1unes. There is growing employment in sports medicine and rehabilitation clinics for athletic trainers. The aging o f the baby boomer generation has created many new opportunities in physical therapy. Pennsylvania has the nation's second oldest population with 15% of all Pennsylvanians over the age of 65. According to Pennsylvania's Department of Labor and Industry, the need for physical therapist assistants will increase by nearly 60% over the next few years. The dual major in Athletic Training/Education Certification enables interested students to pursue the education and training necessary for a dual career as effective teachers and athletic trainers. The requirements listed below are for the Athletic Training component alone. Students interested in this program should contact the Program Director of the Athletic Training Education Program for details on the dual major. This program also requires satisfactory performance on the Praxis II examination. Health and Wellness The department currently offers courses reflecting the health and wellness concept. This functions primarily as a service oriented area for the university and for the general education program. Course work can be found under the 1-ISC or 1-IPE designation listed in the course descriptions section of this catalog. Physical therapists assist ill and injured persons to improve their level of functioning and thereby, their quality of life. Physical therapist assistant (PTA) is a profession that works under the supervision of a physical therapist to provide rehabilitation services for the sick and injured. This program leads to an Associate o f Applied Science degree in Physical Therapist Assistant. The program is housed in modem classrooms and well equipped laboratories in the newly renovated Hamer Hall. Students gain experience at both campus and off-campus clinical sites. Admission to the Athletic Training Program Admission into the Athletic Training Education Program is competitive, and only a limited number of students are selected each year. Applications for the Athletic Training curriculum are accepted during the second semester o f the freshm an year and screened by the Admissions and Academic Standards Committee (AASC). During the first semester, the student submits a letter of application to the AASC, which screens, interviews, and selects the remaining students to be admitted. The Sports Management Program provides students with a depth of knowledge on a broad range of competencies in management, marketing, and communication. The program requires that students gan experience through practica and internships in their speciality area. Students will also be able to supplement their education experience with a minor. Criteria for selection are a minimum of a 3.00 QPA, or a composite score of 17, minimum 100 observation hours, interview with a departmental faculty member, and completion o f the freshman examination. New, modem athletic training rooms are located in Hamer Hall and Adamson Stadium. The cadaver anatomy laboratory is also located in Hamer Hall. The California University intercollegiate athletic program, which is a strong NCAA Division II program and a member of Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC), comprises 13 varsity sports that enable students to gain valuable experience as student athletic trainers. Students will also receive additional hours at many area high schools or local colleges as partial fulfillment of their required clinical experience. Admission to the Physical Therapy Assistant Program California University o f Pennsylvania requires the completion of 67 credits for graduation. Of these 39 are taken in the area of concentration and 21 arc taken in general education. T he remaining 7 credits are restricted electives. Admission to the University does not guarantee program admission. Students must complete program requirements during the Pre-Pro fessional phase and then apply for admission to the Professional phase of the program. Only a limited number of students are admitted to the Professional phase of the program each year. Criteria for selection is available from the chairperson, Department o f 1-Icalth Science & Sport Studies or the program director, Physical Therapist Assistant Program. Careers The high incidence of injuries occurring through athletic participation has become a national concern and has created a demand for individuals who have completed athletic training courses, fulfilled clinicaj requirements, and earned a minimum of a bachelor's degree. The Physical Therapist Assistant Program is see king accreditation with the Commission on Accreditation in Physical Therapy E ducation (CAPTE) of the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) Job opportunities for certified athletic trainers have increased substantially, and the employment potential for athletic trainers should continue to increase. The ultimate goal of this program is to prepare graduates for certification by the NATABOC and for careers in athletic training. Many high schools hire athletic trainers to help provide better health care for their interscholastic athletic programs. In addition, Undergraduate Catalog 1999-2000 89 Bachelor of Science jn Education: Athletic Training/Education Certification (Dual Major) Driver Education and Safety Certification Program Individuals who complete the program are certified by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and are able to teach Driver Education to students.

Please note, California University of Pennsylvania 92 Honors Program interaction between student and professor. Additionally, most regular university course offerings at all levels may have an honors Purpose The Honors Program at California University of Pennsylvania provides an opportunity for an enhanced educational experience to our most talented students and faculty. Honors Program students desire to pursue intellectual and creative growth beyond the usual requirements of their major field of study and intend to cultivate their individual and personal aspirations to learn. Honors Program students and faculty expect to explore and participate in scholarly, professional, and artistic exercises outside the classroom; they engage in community service activities, which complement their academic studies and nurture their personal sense of commitment and communal responsibility. Honors students anticipate exercising leadership while at California University; they prepare to become leaders while students in our program, and they expect to continue as leaders when they graduate. component. In such courses (called addenda), honors students fulfill the same requirements as other students in the class but honors students perform certain independent work which is designed to enhance the regular departmental courses and which is agreed upon in writing by the student, the professor, and the Director of the Honors Program. In all such courses, the successful completion of the course and its honors 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 graduate with Honors. Additionally, students must complete a minimum of 24 credits, including addenda and thesis project, within the Honors Program. Membership Inquiries about the Honors Program may be made of the Director, California University of Pennsylvania, California, PA 15419-1394, 724-938-4535. Membership in the University Honors Program is by invitation only. However, the Honors Program promotes outstanding intellectual achievement throughout the university, and undergraduate students in any program or division of the university may participate in the Honors Program. Each year, the applications of all incoming first year and transfer students are reviewed, and those students with the very highest indicators of past and future academic success are invited to participate in the Honors Program. Programs Each summer (since 1985) two Honors Program students receive scholarships to participate in the SSHE Summer Honors Program. This program is noted for its academic quality and its opportunity, typically, to study abroad in such places as Austria (1996), Russia (1995), England (1997), Italy (1998), and Renaissance and Reformation Europe (1999). Honors Program students have the opportunity to participate in the California Academic Leadership Hall concept, which includes specialty housing in Johnson Hall as well as educational, social, and recreational programming. The Honors Program maintains a small, but high quality, computer facility in Johnson Hall reserved for the exclusive use of its students and faculty. Each spring semester, the Honors Program conducts and coordinates a special grouping of courses and faculty for its students which focuses on a particular area, rotating in a three year cycle from Social Science (1999), through Science (2000), to Arts and Humanities (2001). Honors Program students are encouraged, enabled, and have presented their work at local, regional, and national undergraduate conferences. A few students have even collaborated with Honors Program faculty at international conferences and publication of their work. Awards Currently, the Honors Program annually presents the following awards: Senior Thesis Project Award and the Outstanding Honors Program Graduating Senior Award. The John K. Thornburgh Honors Scholarship is awarded to an outstanding Honors Program Student each year. Curriculum Courses, designated as Honors Courses, are restricted to members of the Honors Program and are offered at all class levels. In such courses enrollment is kept low, to encourage and ensure close Undergraduate Catalog 1999-2000 93 Humanities Purpose Humanities are most often considered a curricular area or category in which a number of majors coexist interdependently. For example, Foreign Languages, Art and English are program areas under the Humanities heading. However, California University has a separate Humanities program, which works particularly well for those students who find that their goals lie somewhere between two or three different Humanities areas. The Humanities program is designed to allow greater freedom in shaping an integrated university program responsive to the students' unique interests and permit the greatest breadth for studying the interrelationships between disciplines. This program stresses breadth of knowledge and interdisciplinary awareness. Students have the opportunity, as well as the responsibility, to develop unique, integrated and personalized programs combining courses from Humanities areas. Additional information on the Humanities program can be obtained from the College of Liberal Arts or from the Office of Lifelong Learning for its Evening & Weekend College program.

Socrates, though, was esteemed to be a good philosopher because he was aware of how little he knew. In knowing this, however, he was wiser than some "authorities" and "experts" whose unreflective confidence in their beliefs was mistaken. In this tradition, philosophy became the academic discipline which critically studies the justification of beliefs and attempts to put together different kinds of beliefs to form a workable view of reality as a whole. In brief, philosophy is the critical study of theories about truth, knowledge, reality, and values. Aristotle thought the study of philosophy was intrinsically rewarding, an end in itself, because it fulfilled a distinctively human potential, namely the ability to reason and to know. But if minimizing mistaken or dogmatic beliefs has practical value, then philosophy also can serve pragmatic purposes.

Statistics course (3 credits) not limited to psychological statistics Undergraduate Catalog 1999-2000 107 Social Sciences Purpose Common to the degree programs offered by the D epartment o f Social Sciences is the study of people interacting with one another. Their common approach is scientific, that is, they study pattern s of human behavior by objective, measurable methodologies. Anthropology is the most comprehensive since there is no aspect of human development or behavior that it does not study, although it traditionally has focu sed on pre-industrial societies. Anthropology includes such diverse subject areas as ethnology, medical and psychological anthropology, archaeology, and human evolution. Field experiences are available in archaeology. An archaeology field school runs during the summer school session. Students participate in the excavation of a site. Political Science is the most prescribed of th e discipline maj ors offered in the department. It limits its interests to the political aspects of human behavior, both national and international, including the study o f power and organizations. Sociology is the systematic study o f all features of group life, beginning with the family and ending with global arrangements. Because it is a multi-paradigm science, students are educated to appreciate a wide range of theoretical perspectives and research methods. The Sociology Program offers course work in the structures and processes o f social interaction. T he place of sociology in interdisciplinary studies also is emphasized. The Social Science Area major is general and interdisciplinary in nature. It presents an overview, as well as the interrelationships, of all the social science disciplines. Along with sociology, anthropology and political science, it includes psychology, history, geography and economics. administrators and elected officials where th ey can observe and practice what they have learned in th e classroom. Sociology majors are placed in police departments, private investigation agencies, and governmental and private agencies serving the homeless and juvenile offenders. Honor Societies Anthropology majors are eligible fo r membership in the Gamma Chapter o f Lambda Alpha, the national honor society. Requirem ents are the completion of twelve credits o f Anthropology course work and a 3.0 grade point average or higher in the maj or, as well as an overall 2.7 grade point average. Students in the social sciences are eligible fo r membership in Pi G amma Mu, th e social science honor society. Students must have completed sixty-four university credits, including a minimum of twenty credits in social science course work, and have a 3.0 or higher grade point average. Awards T he Joseph Lynn Marino Memorial Award is presented annually. For consideration an applicant must have a minimum grade point average of 3.5, be enrolled in the College o f Liberal Arts and have successfully completed two courses in Anthropology. T he E dward McN all Burns Scholarship Award is given annually to any individual majoring in anthropology, sociology, and political science. T he George S. Hart Memorial Award for Academic Excellence is given annually to the graduating senior with the highest G PA in the Social Sciences Area. Careers Students with an undergraduate degree can secure work in entry level social service and personnel resource areas. Career opportunities, however, increase with the attainment of graduate course work and degrees. T he social sciences as a whole prepare students to enter careers in law, public administration, the ministry, personnel resource management, education, social service pro fessions and law enfo rcement. Programs Anthropology, Social Science and Sociology are majors without optional concentrations.. Political Science offers three concentrations: General Political Science, Public Administration, and Pre-Law.

It has been recognized that children with mild forms o f handicaps typically attain higher levels of achievement in the regular class environment than in the special self-contained classroom. T hese children do, however, need special help and rem edial instruction in some areas of the curriculum. T hus, the resource room is becoming an increasingly common means of addressing the needs of children while continuing to maintain their enrollment in regular classroom s. This process of integrating/including the handicapped child should be initiated early, preferably at the preschool level, or no later than the early elementary years. Teachers trained in Early Childhood o r Special Educatio n will be able to provide excellent resource services to both children and the other staff members o f an elementary sc hool. G raduates of this program are qualified to assume several professional roles, including regular early childhood classroom teacher (nursery-third grade), special education classroom teacher; mentally retarded, emotionally disturbed, physically handicapped, learning disabled, brain-damaged (nurserytwelfth grade), and resource room teacher.

Membership in Alpha Psi Omega, the national ho norary Theatre fraternity, is achieved through active participatio n in theatre productions. As one of the performing arts, theatre is a means of selfexpression and social communication. Whether we study pure dramatic expression or musical dramatic expression, we seek to und erstand how speech, movement and other non-verbal aspects of production such as lighting, scenery, and costumes, communicate ideas and emotion and how they are used for entertainment, education, reform and o th er social purposes. Careers Graduates o f California University work throughout the country in professional and semi-professional theatre, in film and television, in teaching, community and regio nal theatre, recreation, and in rehabilitatio n theatre, public relations, interior decoration, costuming, and arts management. The study of the dramatic arts serves both T heatre majors and those studen ts in o ther disciplines concerned with human interaction and symbolic expression (e.g., art, education, communication, political science, sociology, E nglish and psychology). Students who are aware of the history and technology associated with theatre en hance their appreciation of this art form.

Purpose Required courses: WST 200 Introduction to Women's Studies WST 400 Feminist Scholarship and Research: A Seminar E lectives: 12 credits among the electives listed below, from three different disciplines Women's Studies is an interdisciplinary field that examines th e diverse experiences, contributions and perspectives of women and considers how ideas about gender have shaped human lives. Women's Studies views the world from the perspectives of women who differ widely in race, class, age, and many other ways. Because these perspectives have often been left out of traditional studies, interdisciplinary study of women and gender can provide a new and vital fram ework for approaching knowledge in other disciplines, posing questions that may not have been asked before.

Since traditional education has paid scant attention to gender or to the half of humanity that is female, Women's Studies helps to fill a major gap and provides the opportunity for individuals to become more well rounded and more aware. Careers More and more women are joining th e work force outside the home, as well as continuing in important roles in homemaking and child rearing. With these rapid changes, it is becoming increasingly important to understand the social forces that influence how much power people have. The Women's Studies Certificate Program helps prepare both women and men to deal more effectively with gender relations in their professional and personal life. Whether the student's major field is in education, social services, business, communications, medicine, or science, any field o f study will be enhanced by th e approach to knowledge offered in this program. Inquiries regarding the Women's Studies Program may be made o f th e director, California University o f Pennsylvania, Cali fo rnia, PA 15419. Special Activities In addition to course work, Women's Studies students may wish to participate in a variety o f special activities. T he Program sponsors guest speakers, luncheon discussion sessions, and oth er special events, as well as publishing its own newsletter, The Tide, which encourages student involvement. Certificate in Women's Studies A certificate in Women's Studies is not a degree but is an undergraduate specialization. It makes an excellent complement for many majors, since virtually every field o f study is affected in some way by gend er. A student may pursue th e certificate by one o f two routes: Curriculum Fifteen credit option.
