Coursework completed at institutions which are not regionally accredited may be accepted by the University following evaluation by the academic deans in consultation with department chairs. 14 | General Information A student who completes an associate degree from a publicly supported Pennsylvania community college can expect to have all coursework considered for transfer. “D” grades for such students will be treated as the University treats “D” grades for its non-transfer students. Students who have attended other post-secondary institutions of study beyond high school, and who wish to enter Edinboro University will be expected to meet the following requirements: 1. Meet the regular admissions requirements. (See above this section) 2. Have on file an official high school transcript, and official transcripts from all post-secondary institutions attended. The official transcripts must indicate satisfactory achievement and show honorable withdrawal, i.e., academic, financial, student affairs, etc. A review of all previous official transcripts will be conducted by Edinboro University for both admission purposes, as well as course and credit transfer to the University. All documents submitted by the student become the property of Edinboro University and cannot be returned. 3. A student standards data form must be completed by the Student Affairs Officer at the institution last attended by the transfer student. This form will be sent to the student upon his/her acceptance. It must be completed by the previous institution and be on file in the Edinboro Admissions Office prior to enrollment. Enrollment is contingent upon withdrawal in good standing from the previous institution as indicated by the Student Affairs Form. 4. Complete at least one semester of coursework with satisfactory GPA at Edinboro University before being assigned to student teaching. No student may be assigned student teaching without having the semester hours required in his/her first field of specialization and without having taken professional courses required for certification. Note: Transfer credit is not awarded for the completion of nonacademic credits such as Continuing Education Units (CEUs). Credit to meet the degree requirements for a particular program will not be given for: 1) courses which are not equivalent to those required or approved in the curricula offered in this university; 2) courses completed at other colleges or universities in which grades below C- were earned, unless otherwise specified.. Courses from accredited institutions which are designated as transferable may or may not be counted as part of the requirement for graduation from Edinboro. All credits of students who apply for admission with advanced standing must be approved by the dean of the school in which they will be majoring, and the dean will determine the extent to which credits meet general education and major course requirements for each degree. for transfer back to EU It is strongly suggested that students consult with their Academic Advisor or Dean prior to registering for classes. Following completion of the coursework the student is instructed to have an official transcript sent to the Admissions Office. Transcripts are reviewed and, if the student earns a grade of “C-” or better, the credits are added to the academic record; and if the student is repeating failed coursework, then the failed course at Edinboro is coded so as not to impact the student’s Edinboro University GPA. Policy Governing Transfer of Students Who Hold Associate Degrees Awarded by Publicly Supported Two-Year Colleges in Pennsylvania 1. 2. 3. 4. Since the completion of an associate degree demonstrates a student’s motivation to complete a baccalaureate degree, preference for admission to state universities should be given to applicants who have completed said degree. A transfer student who has completed a two-year degree program should normally expect to complete a baccalaureate program in two additional years. In certain specialized programs of the receiving institution a longer period may be necessary. The “D” grade obtained by two-year college students should be treated by the senior institution in the same manner as the senior institution treats the “D” grades of its indigenous students. Secondary school transcripts as well as test scores, should be considered as a guidance tool and not a determinant of transfer to the four-year institution. The awarding of the associate degree is considered to have satisfied the high school graduation requirements. Post-Baccalaureate Teacher Certification Students Students who already hold a bachelor’s degree from Edinboro University, or from another college or university, who wish to earn the courses and credits necessary for teacher certification, may be admitted to the University on a non-degree basis. Official transcripts from all previously attended and current post-secondary institutions, and a $30 non-refundable application fee, must be sent to the School of Graduate Studies and Research after completion of the online application available at gradschool.edinboro.edu. Post-baccalaureate teacher certification students will have their previous college transcripts reviewed by the Dean of the School of Education (or his/her designee) to determine the courses and credits necessary to earn certification. A program of study will then be outlined and forwarded to the applicant. Further information concerning admission to teacher certification programs at Edinboro University should be directed to the School of Graduate Studies and Research. Students entering Edinboro University seeking a baccalaureate degree must earn at least 30 of their last 60 credits at Edinboro University. All first Baccalaureate students will take at least 50% of credits required for the Major from a PASSHE university. Edinboro University may require up to a maximum of 50% of the Major credits. Students seeking an associate degree must complete 15 of the last 30 credits in courses scheduled by the University. Second Degree Students It is possible for students at Edinboro University to take courses at other institutions for transfer to their programs at Edinboro. Students should go to the Edinboro University Transfer Articulator on the EU website. It is strongly suggested that students discuss their course selections with their advisor so as to insure they will fulfill degree requirements at Edinboro. Persons who have previously completed an earned undergraduate degree at Edinboro University should initiate admission procedures for a second degree with the Reinstatement Officer in the Office of Records and Registration. Persons who have earned a graduate degree at Edinboro University who now wish to enroll in undergraduate degree courses, should contact the Edinboro Undergraduate Admissions Office for enrollment information and procedures.

ALL FEES AND REFUND POLICIES ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE UPON APPROVAL OF THE COUNCIL OF TRUSTEES OR THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE SYSTEM OF HIGHER EDUCATION, AS APPROPRIATE. Refund Policy Intent Edinboro University recognizes the occasional necessity for students to withdraw totally from course work for a variety of valid reasons. It further acknowledges that a fee refund policy must be reasonable and equitable for both the student and the University. The student, through registration, makes a financial commitment to the University upon which the University determines its expenditure patterns and obligations and thus no partial refunds as the University is unable to significantly reduce its costs if a student partially or totally withdraws. The refund policy includes a time-related schedule with a reasonable and equitable withdrawal refund deadline. Refund Policies for Total Withdrawal The Bursar Office processes tuition refunds for withdrawals from the University in accordance with University and Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education Policies. During the regular Fall and Spring semesters, if students choose to withdraw from the University during the first five weeks of the semester, there will be a refund of tuition, room and meals (if applicable) and some fees. The refund percentage used in the calculation is based on the date of withdrawal entered by the student in the S.C.O.T.S. system in accordance with PA Board of Governor›s Policy 1983-19A. Refunds for students that withdraw from special start and end date terms will be calculated according to the Tuition Refund and Account Adjustment Schedule Special Start and End Date Classes.* Students who reduce their credit hour load to part-time after the 100% refund shall not be eligible for a refund or account adjustment of amounts that exceed the part-time rate.

Students are still encouraged to carefully consider such an important decision and its impact on their academic career and financial aid status and to consult with appropriate faculty or staff prior to submitting their withdrawal request on S.C.O.T.S. Students who withdraw from scheduled courses during the first 8 days of a semester, or an equivalent period during a session, will be permitted to drop their classes without academic penalty; no academic record will be kept for those courses. From the second through the tenth week, or an equivalent period in a session, students 20 | General Information who withdraw from their classes will receive a W (withdrawal) on their academic record for the courses from which they withdrew. A request for an official withdrawal from any or all classes after ten week of the semester or equivalent period in a session will be reviewed by the Dean, and, if extenuating circumstances exist, the request may be approved. If approved, a student will receive a W (withdrawal) on their academic record. No withdrawals are permitted once the final exam period has begun. If a student officially withdraws from all courses and wishes to return to the University at a later date, the student must then apply for reinstatement through the Office of Records and Registration. All requests for refunds must be submitted to the Bursar Office for processing to the vice president for finance and administration for approval. Requests for cash refunds must be in writing. Exceptions of appeal to the refund policy will be considered through written request to the Office of the President of the University or their designee. FINANCIAL AID PROGRAMS Edinboro University has a coordinated system of disbursing funds available for student financial aid. All financial aid programs are administered by the University’s Financial Aid Office. Further information regarding the programs described below is available from that office. The primary goal of the Financial Aid Office is to provide appropriate financial resources for students to achieve their educational potential while ensuring compliance with the myriad of regulations, rules, policies and procedures from the various sources of financial aid. The University strives to meet the “financial need” of as many students from as many resources as possible. Major funding sources are from the federal and state governments. For consideration for financial assistance students must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The preferred filing date is December 15 for the next academic year. Edinboro University’s school code for filing the FAFSA is 003321. Students who complete the FAFSA will be considered for all aid for which they may qualify based on the available funds. Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) Policy for Financial Aid Recipients Edinboro University of Pennsylvania has developed standards of Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) in accordance with federal regulations. This policy measures quantity (number of credits completed), quality (cumulative grade point average), and maximum time frames for completion and measures progress incrementally. SAP will be reviewed after each payment period, (fall semester, spring semester, and the summer term). The provisions of the policy apply to students seeking eligibility for Federal Title IV Aid (Federal Pell, Federal SEOG, Federal Perkins Loan, Federal Direct Stafford Subsidize and Unsubsidized Loans, Federal Work-Study, Federal Direct Plus, Federal TEACH Grant, and Federal Nursing Loans), and other programs, which require monitoring of academic progress. Note: Standards of satisfactory academic progress for the PHEAA State Grant is not the same as the federal standards. For financial aid purposes, a student is considered to be making satisfactory academic progress if he/she meets the following criteria: All undergraduate students are required to maintain a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.00 or better and complete at least 67% of all attempted coursework which includes (F)ailures, (I) ncompletes, (W)ithdrawals, and (R)epeat courses. Note: The Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy for Financial Aid recipients is independent of “Academic Probation and Suspension.” Students who have completed 180 credits and/or 12 semesters with or without the benefit of financial assistance are no longer eligible for financial aid. If it is determined that a student has met the requirements for his/her degree but did not apply for graduation, federal grant aid will not be awarded. All credits are counted as attempted credits after the end of the “add/drop period” for the purpose of determining progress for federal financial aid. *The number of semesters is based on an equivalency of full-time enrollment (e.g. a student enrolled in six (6) credit hours has an equivalency of .50 semester (6 credit hours/12 full-time credits hours = .50). Any student who fails to meet SAP requirements will be placed on financial aid warning for one semester. If at the end of the warning period the student does not meet the requirements for SAP, all aid will be cancelled and the student is placed on financial aid suspension; students on financial aid suspension and are no longer eligible for federal financial aid (which includes student loans). Students who are on warning are encouraged to seek academic and/ or personal counseling. Counseling services can provide the student with additional support, which may alleviate obstacles that hinder satisfactory academic progress. Students on warning are further encouraged to consult with a financial aid counselor prior to withdrawing from any classes or if midterm grades are failures. Reinstatement of Aid Aid may be reinstated by meeting the requirements for SAP or by an approved appeal with an academic plan signed by the student’s academic advisor. If aid is reinstated, a probationary status will remain in effect. A period of non-enrollment does not reinstate aid eligibility. Appeals Students who wish to appeal the suspension of financial aid eligibility based on mitigating circumstances (e.g. severe illness, death of close family member, severe injury, other factors relevant to student success) may do so by submitting a letter of appeal and supporting documentation to the Financial Aid Office within the first 2 weeks of the semester which is affected by the SAP status for which the appeal applies. All appeals for reinstatement of aid must include: A completed appeal form which identifies the reason for unsatisfactory progress, supporting documentation, and what has changed in order to better facilitate academic success. Once this material is received by the Financial Aid Office, an academic plan will be issued to the student , if the appeal is approved. This academic plan will outline the number of credits and required term GPA in order to achieve SAP. This plan must be signed by the student as well as the academic advisor and must be received by the Financial Aid Office no later than the end of the 8th week of classes. The Director of Financial Aid will notify the student of the decision to reinstate or deny aid. If the appeal is approved, the student must adhere to the signed academic plan and if the conditions are not satisfied, students are placed on Financial Aid Denied without an opportunity to appeal and aid will be denied in all subsequent terms until the student can regain aid eligibility by reaching the required 67% completion rate and a 2.0 cumulative GPA. The committee will not review incomplete and/or partial appeals. All documentation is retained by the Financial Aid Office for audit purposes. General Information | 21 I. Grants Federal Pell Grant - PELL Grants are a Federal aid program designed to provide financial assistance to those who need it to attend post-high school educational institutions. PELL Grants are intended to be the “floor” of a financial aid package and may be combined with other forms of aid in order to meet the full costs of education. The amount of the PELL Grant is determined on the basis of their and family’s financial resources. The Federal Pell Grant is based on need as determined by the federal processor. It does not have to be repaid or earned. Awards range from $ 652- $ 6085 for full-time students. Students enrolled less than full time will have their awards adjusted according to their enrollment status. The FAFSA must be completed and submitted to the federal processor for consideration. Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants (FSEOG) Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants are available to a limited number of undergraduate students with exceptional financial need and Pell eligible. Each year the Financial Aid Office defines who will be considered as students with exceptional need. Degree-seeking students with exceptional need may receive Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants. In order to assist as many students possible, grants range from $300- $500.Awards vary each year based on available funds. The “Free Application for Federal Student Aid” (FAFSA) is required. The amount of financial assistance students may receive depends upon their need, the students and parents contributions (as noted from the results of the FAFSA), the amount received from other sources, the available funds, and the cost for attending Edinboro University.

Edinboro University Scholarships - Edinboro University offers a wide variety of scholarships with different criteria. Scholarships are based upon scholastic achievement, major program of study, athletic prowess, class rank, financial need or a combination of these criteria. Funds for the various scholarship areas are made available through donations by private industry, by faculty, staff and community contributions and through private endowments. The Financial Aid Office identifies eligible students based on the criteria and submits the list of eligible students to the selection committee. For some scholarships, students who meet the general criteria may be contacted for more information in the event there are criteria that are not stored on the database or if the scholarship requires an essay. A full listing of scholarships is available on the University’s web site by typing in the keyword search “scholarship”. US Army ROTC Scholarships - There are significant scholarship opportunities for military science students. Scholarships pay up to full tuition, $525 for books, and $3,000 for spending money each year. These scholarships are merit based and not affected by a parent’s total income. Freshmen and sophomores can apply for three- and two-year campus-based full scholarships in January. Historically, 85 percent of Edinboro University students who apply are scholarship winners.

Students who meet the criteria for these scholarships are sent an email announcing the scholarship, the criteria, deadline date, and contact information. III. Loans Federal Direct Stafford Loans – The federal government provides two Stafford Loan programs. The Federal Direct Subsidized Stafford Loan program is based on the students’ calculated unmet need, and academic level. The federal government will pay the interest for students who receive the subsidized Stafford loan while the student is enrolled at least half time. The Federal Unsubsidized Stafford Loan program is based on the amount needed to meet the student’s cost of attendance budget (COA) and their academic level. Independent students and students whose parents are ineligible to borrow on behalf of the student may be eligible for additional unsubsidized Stafford loans. The student may opt to pay the interest while enrolled in school or have the interest capitalized (added to the principal). For both programs students are limited by the total aid received from all sources and their COA budget. Students must complete entrance counseling which explains their rights and responsibilities and a master promissory note before loans are disbursed. Stafford loans may have origination and/or rebate fees deducted from the loan amount. Interest rates are established yearly by the federal government, Loan Limits Based on Academic Level Maximum Maximum Subsidized Unsubsidized Stafford Stafford Academic Level Amount Amount Freshmen (0-29 credits) $3500 $2000 Sophomore (30 – 59 credits) $4500 $2000 Junior (60 – 89 credits) $5500 $2000 Senior (90-120 credits) $5500 $2000 Graduates (enrolled in Grad program) Additional Unsubsidized Stafford Amount $4000 $4000 $5000 $5000 $20500 Graduate students enrolled in the Teacher Certification program and not receiving a master’s degree are subject to undergraduate loan limits of $5,500 Subsidized Stafford and $7,000 Unsubsidized Stafford Loan limits. Graduate degree-seeking students, who enroll in all undergraduate coursework for any given term, will have their awards adjusted to reflect undergraduate loan level. Federal Parent Loan for Undergraduate Students (PLUS) – Parents of dependent students may borrow up to the cost of attendance less all other financial aid and available resources. Federal Graduate PLUS Loan - Graduate and Professional students may also borrow under this program. All general requirements for the students apply. 22 | General Information Federal Perkins Loan - The Perkins Loan Program is awarded to students with exceptional need using Edinboro’s criteria and on completion of the FAFSA. Awards range between $200 and $5,500. The repayment period and the interest do not begin until nine months after the student in no longer enrolled at least half time. During repayment, loans bear interest at the rate of five percent a year, and repayment of the interest and principal may be extended over a 10year period. There are a number of cancellations available to Federal Perkins Loan recipients based on certain types of employment and volunteer activities. Students are required to complete Entrance Counseling which explains their rights and responsibilities related to this loan. Students whose enrollment drops to less than half time status are required to complete exit counseling which serves as a reminder of rights and responsibilities for the loans received. This program is currently on hiatus per the federal government Nursing Loans - This program is intended to assist students to achieve careers in nursing by providing long-term, low-interest loans to help meet the costs of education. The maximum loan is $2,500 for an academic year or the amount of financial need, whichever is less. A student may receive up to $4000 in the last two years of study. The total amount of a student’s loans for all years may not exceed $13,000. Loans are interest free during the in-school period enrollments of at least half time. Repayment may be made over a ten-year period which begins nine months after study has been terminated, and the minimum payment can be $40. Five percent interest accrues during the repayment period. Payments may be deferred up to three years during military service, Peace Corps participation or periods of full-time advanced professional training in nursing. Sargent Emergency Student Loan Fund - Emergency 30-day loans are available to Edinboro University undergraduate and graduate students. Original funds for this program were contributed in memory of Gray Norman and Nicholas Rock, former students, in memory of Dr. Harry Earlley, former acting president, and Dr. L. H. Van Houten, former president of the College, and by the Alpha Phi Omega fraternity and by the Edinboro University Alumni Association. Three alumni donors, Mary Alice (Noxon) Sargent, Dr. Harold R. Sargent and Millard B. Sargent, have now commemorated the endowment. Application forms are available at the Fianncial Aid Office. Awards may not exceed $250 per semester and students must be enrolled full-time. Emergency Loans are only available during the first three weeks of the semester. IV. Student Employment The University offers student employment opportunities through three programs – Federal Work Study, Institutional Work Study, and Graduate Assistantships. All U.S. citizens and eligible citizens are required to complete the FAFSA to receive student employment. Students who receive student employment awards are not guaranteed a job. Students are required to actively engage in acquiring employment. Students may work 15 hours per week at no less than minimum wage. Federal Work Study (FWS) – The FWS program is a need-based employment opportunity and may be given priority hiring. Students generally work twelve (12) hours per week at minimum wage. Institutional Work Study (INSTWK) - The institutional work study program is in most cases based on need. Students generally work twelve (12) hours per week at minimum wage. Graduate Assistantships (GA) are awarded by the Office of Graduate Studies. The number of hours is dependent on the appointment. The hourly rate is above minimum wage. In addition to the stipend, GA’s receive a waiver of tuition proportioned to their appointment. Academic Year and Enrollment Requirements Students are required to be enrolled in a degree or certificate program in order to be considered for Federal Title IV student aid including PELL and supplemental grants, Perkins and Stafford loans, and college workstudy programs. Grants and loans are reduced proportionately for parttime students. State grants require half-time attendance or a minimum of six semester hour credits attempted each term. Student withdrawals from classes during the rebate period (first five weeks of the semester) will limit the full-time or part-time enrollment designation. Full withdrawal from all classes will result in restricted student aid program eligibility and the return of Title IV Aid as noted in the policy below. Withdrawing students should seek financial aid counseling. The Return of Title IV Funds Policy As Required By the U. S. Department Of Education The Financial Aid Office is required by federal statute to recalculate federal financial aid eligibility for students who withdraw, drop out, are dismissed, or take a leave of absence prior to completing 60% of a payment period or term. The federal Title IV financial aid programs must be recalculated in these situations. If a student leaves the institution prior to completing 60% of a payment period or term, the Financial Aid Office recalculates eligibility for Title IV funds. Recalculation is based on the percentage of earned aid using the following Federal Return of Title IV funds formula: Percentage of payment period or term completed = the number of days completed up to the withdrawal date divided by the total days in the payment period or term. (Any break of five days or more is not counted as part of the days in the term.) This percentage is also the percentage of earned aid. Funds are returned to the appropriate federal program based on the percentage of unearned aid using the following formula: Aid to be returned = (100% of the aid that could be disbursed minus the percentage of earned aid) multiplied by the total amount of aid that could have been disbursed during the payment period or term. If a student earned less aid than was disbursed, the institution would be required to return a portion of the funds and the student would be required to return a portion of the funds. Keep in mind that when Title IV funds are returned, the student borrower may owe a debit balance to the institution. If a student earned more aid than was disbursed to him/her, the institution would owe the student a post-withdrawal disbursement which must be paid within 120 days of the student’s withdrawal. The institution must return the amount of Title IV funds for which it is responsible no later than 45 days after the date of the determination of the date of the student’s withdrawal. Refunds are allocated in the following order: • Unsubsidized Direct Stafford Loans (other than PLUS loans) • Subsidized Direct Stafford Loans • Federal Perkins Loans • Direct PLUS Loans • Federal Pell Grants for which a Return of funds is required • Federal Supplemental Opportunity Grants for which a Return of funds is required • Other assistance under this Title for which a Return of funds is required (e.g., TEACH Grants, Iraq and Afghanistan Grant, LEAP) General Information | 23 University Policy Manual Students need to be aware that the University Policy Manual is available for inspection in the following areas: Baron-Forness Library (on reserve); Office of the Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs, Reeder Hall; Office of Records and Registration, Hamilton Hall.

Greek membership carries with it many immediate benefits, including leadership opportunities, academic support, and an emphasis on community service; this has been the basis of Greekdom since its founding over 150 years ago. Greek life at Edinboro University has offered men and women these traditions for more than 40 years. Campus Life The Campus Life Office serves as a campus programming center for University clubs and organizations, ROTC/Military Science, Recreational Sports, Club Sports, University Programming Board, Homecoming Activities, Greek Life, The Pogue Student Center, and Leadership Development. We host a number of events throughout the year that are planned and coordinated by students, for students. The University Programming Board is the central event-planning group for the campus. This student-run committee provides entertainment and activities for all students. The purpose of these events is to enhance the educational, cultural, social, and recreational aspects of the university experience. Activities include speakers, comedians, recreation, and a wide variety of other events that are free to students. The University Programming Board also oversees the Student Concert Committee, Homecoming Committee, Welcome Week Committee, and SnowFest Committee. We strive to give students and clubs the autonomy to host their own events while imparting leadership opportunities for students to become campus leaders. The office works in constant communication with the Student Government Association and University advisors for the advancement of the student body. Campus Life also offers many multicultural programs and resources to our students. We are charged with creating a climate that is sensitive to the needs of its diverse population. The office achieves these objectives by designing and sponsoring programs that lead to an increased understanding of diversity and by providing opportunities to learn, work, and live in a harmonious environment that is free of discrimination. Our office offers a variety of resources and programming that enhance college life and celebrate individual differences. We provide leadership opportunities that foster personal and professional development while coordinating multicultural initiatives. We encourage acceptance and appreciation of cultural differences where everyone is welcomed and supported. Volunteer Service The Office of Volunteer Services is located in the Campus Life Office.

Residence Life and Housing Edinboro University offers a blend of contemporary housing in suites as well as traditional residence hall communities. Edinboro is proud of our residential communities that offer students more privacy in their living options while remaining in close proximity to classes, the student center, dining area, and all of the campus athletic venues. The Highlands at Edinboro University are among the most energy efficient residence halls in the nation, using geothermal energy technology for their climate control systems; hey have been designated as a silver LEED project. Both The Highlands and traditional housing offer convenience and commitment from the University community to promote student success. In all residence hall rooms, each student has individual furnishings that include a bed, dresser, desk, desk chair, and wardrobe/closet. High-speed Internet access, network access, and digital cable television services are included. All residence halls feature common lounges with wireless access, recreation areas, television lounges, vending/snack equipment, and coin operated laundry facilities. Students will see and hear the phrase “BORO Living”, or in long form “Building Opportunities for Residents On-campus.” The mission of Residence Life and Housing is to provide quality residential services that complement the mission of the University by encouraging civility, personal development, and student success. This is achieved by offering a just and caring community for everyone. The Residence Life and Housing staff is available to assist new students in making the transition from home to life on campus and to assist students in developing knowledge and skills that will give them a foundation for achieving excellence within and outside of the classroom. The residence hall staff provides activities and opportunities for students to become involved in campus life and community activities. Professional Assistant Directors are assisted by Graduate Hall Coordinators (GHCs) and undergraduate Resident Assistants (RAs) in the operation of each community. The Residence Life and Housing website has suggestions for things to bring to campus, suggestions for a positive roommate relationship, and assists you in choosing the best residence hall community for you. Overall our website has a wealth of information to assist you along the way. Students are encouraged to e-mail (boroliving@edinboro.edu) or call the Housing and Residence Life Office (814.732.2818) whenever questions arise. Students are encouraged to reside on campus throughout their college career. Living on-campus provides connection to students and faculty, convenience, and comfort. First- and second-year students must reside on campus unless they are over the age of 21 or commute from the home of a parent or legal guardian. Students are required to reside in on-campus housing for four consecutive semesters (summer sessions excluded). All residents are required to participate in a meal plan. Students sign a Housing and Food Service Agreement for one academic year. Prior to seeking off-campus housing, students are encouraged to be certain that they don’t have an obligation to live on campus, or they may find themselves holding two leases. Edinboro University makes every attempt to honor building and roommate preferences; however, it maintains the right to make housing assignments for the overall benefit of the students and the institution. Safety and security are among our top concerns. Students living oncampus will reside in facilities that have smoke and heat detection systems and sprinklers throughout the facilities. In addition, card access systems are available in all of the living units. Beyond the equipment that is available, the halls are staffed by well-trained professional students and employees who work to maintain a safe and secure environment.

Students in the first two years of the fouryear program incur no military obligation by enrollment in the ROTC Program. Additionally, these freshman and sophomore level Military Sciences courses (maximum of 6 academic credit hours at Edinboro) are offered without cost to full-time students and may be applied toward graduation requirements. Necessary books and equipment are also furnished with no cost to the student. The primary objective of the ROTC program is to commission the future officer leadership of the United States Army. In peace or war, this is one of the most important missions that can be undertaken. Students commissioned as Second Lieutenants will have an impact on the Armed Forces for the next twenty to thirty years. Students enrolled in the program receive instruction in the fundamentals of leadership with emphasis on self-discipline, integrity, confidence, and responsibility. This instruction is given in the classroom, on practical field training exercises, and during the summer Leadership Development Assessment Course (LDAC) and Leaders Training Course (LTC), Cadet Troop Leadership Training (CTLT), Northern Warfare Training Course (NWTC), and the Airborne and Air Assault schools.

ACADEMIC AFFAIRS INFORMATION Academic Affairs Information | 31 Academic Affairs Introduction For the student pursuing a program of study at Edinboro University, the catalogue is an important planning tool. It provides essential information that will assist the student in meeting the requirements and standards related to that program of study as well as the range of services and opportunities provided by the University in support of the student’s educational goals. The catalogue should be used in working with the student’s advisor. The information contained in the catalogue applies to the program of study for individuals entering Edinboro University during the year for which the catalogue is dated. The information in this section of the catalogue explains the essential elements of academic policies, procedures and standards in effect at the time of its publication. Additional information concerning these issues is available from the Office of the Provost and Vice President of Academic Affairs. Students are expected to follow their program of study outlined in the catalogue in effect at the time of their admission to that program. Students who transfer to a new program or who interrupt their program of study for a period exceeding one calendar year and are subsequently reinstated will be expected to meet the requirements of the program in effect at the time of their transfer or reinstatement. When this is impractical, students, together with their advisor and chairperson, will develop a program to be approved by the dean of the school. Reinstated students who return to the University within one calendar year of their last enrollment have the option of continuing under the curriculum and graduation requirements for which they were responsible when they left the institution. Academic Advisement and Student Responsibility Upon entering Edinboro University, each student is assigned a faculty advisor who, by experience, professional background and example, should be particularly qualified to assist the student in planning the program of study, in developing successful strategies for academic success and in providing insight into preparation for a career and the value of the program of study the student has undertaken. Academic advisors are available during regularly scheduled office hours or by appointment to meet with their advisees. The academic advisement process is a critical element in a university education. In addition, professional counseling is available to those seeking assistance with academic or personal problems. These opportunities are listed elsewhere in this catalogue and in other publications provided to students. The student is responsible for ensuring that all requirements for graduation have been met. It is expected that each student will discuss, on a regular basis, the development and execution of a plan of study for his or her academic program with the assigned academic advisor. However, the final responsibility rests with the student. Degree Completion – Time Involved While some students complete their baccalaureate degrees in less than four years, a significant number find that it takes more than the traditional time to complete their studies. This national trend reflects the flexibility of scheduling and a variety of student lifestyles in the modern university. Transfers, special learning needs, outside priorities, internships, and scheduling patterns all impact student progress. Students are urged to work carefully with their advisors to plan and to follow an academic program that meets academic and personal needs, realizing that program completion expectations may vary from initial expectations. Simultaneous Degrees A student who wishes to pursue two undergraduate degrees simultaneously at Edinboro University should submit a written request to the Office of Records and Registration, Hamilton Hall, at least one calendar year prior to the student’s anticipated graduation date. The Office of Records and Registration may authorize the student to pursue two degrees simultaneously subject to the following conditions: 1. The student must meet with the faculty and dean responsible for each program to develop an approved plan of study which will enable the student to satisfy all requirements of both degree programs. 2. Requests for special waivers of course requirements and/or other considerations for individualized instruction to accommodate the student’s completion of required courses must be authorized by the appropriate dean. 3. In earning two baccalaureate degrees, the student shall complete a minimum of 30 semester credits that can be identified as fulfilling requirements in only one of the degree programs. Since most degree programs require 120 credits, the student then must complete at least 150 semester hours to earn both degrees. Similarly, the student who wishes to simultaneously complete a baccalaureate degree and an associate degree must complete at least 15 semester hours that can be identified as fulfilling requirements in only one of the degree programs. The student then must complete a minimum of 135 hours to earn both degrees. 4. At the time the student applies for graduation, he/she must submit two graduation cards clearly indicating the application for the award of two degrees simultaneously. 5. If at some point the student no longer wishes to pursue two degrees simultaneously, he/she must so notify the Registrar and the appropriate dean(s) in writing. Dual Majors A student who wishes to pursue two undergraduate majors concurrently at Edinboro University shall complete the Dual Major Request form located on the Records and Registration website or in Hamilton Hall, at least one calendar year prior to the student’s anticipated graduation date. If a student desires to earn two degrees simultaneously (e.g., BA Biology and BFA Studio Arts), he/she will be referred to the Simultaneous degree policy. Academic Standards and Procedures (F.E.R.P.A.) Confidentiality and Privacy of Student Records A statement concerning the rights of students to confidentiality and privacy of their records will be published annually, as required by laws, in the University’s undergraduate and graduate catalogs, and in the Student Handbook and online at the Office of Records and Registration. Nothing in this policy that may exceed the rights of students established by law shall be taken to create a cause of action against the University or its employees, or an enforceable right to any benefit. The offices at Edinboro University which maintain student records include, but are not limited to: all vice presidents’ offices, offices of academic deans, offices of department chairpersons, the Office of Records and Registration, Graduate Studies Office, Residence Life and Housing Office, Ghering Health and Wellness Center, Financial Aid Office, Bursar’s Office, Office of Student Judicial Affairs, Office for Students with Disabilities, and the Athletics office. The Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) affords students certain rights with respect to their educational records. They are: 32 | Academic Affairs Information 1. or institution. Second, Federal and State Authorities may allow access to a student’s educational records and PII without consent to researchers performing certain types of studies, in certain cases even when we object to or do not request such research. Federal and State Authorities must obtain certain use-restriction and data security promises from the entities that they authorize to receive a student’s PII, but the Authorities need not maintain direct control over such entities. In addition, in connection with Statewide Longitudinal Data Systems, State Authorities may collect, compile, permanently retain, and share without the student’s consent, PII from educational records, and they may track the student’s participation in educational and other programs by linking such PII to other personal information that they obtain from other Federal or State data sources, including workforce development, unemployment insurance, child welfare, juvenile justice, military service, and migrant student records systems. The right to inspect and review the student’s educational records within 45 days of the date the University receives a request for access. Students should submit to the Registrar, or other appropriate official, written requests that identify the record(s) they wish to inspect. The University official will make arrangements for access and notify the student of the time and place where the records may be inspected. If the records are not maintained by the University official to whom the request was submitted, that official shall advise the student of the correct official to whom the request should be addressed. 2. The right to request the amendment of the student’s educational records that the student believes is inaccurate or misleading. Students may ask the University to amend a record that they believe is inaccurate or misleading. They should write the University official responsible for the record, clearly identify the part of the record they want changed, and specify why it is inaccurate or misleading. If the University decides not to amend the record as requested by the student, the University will notify the student of the decision and advise the student of his or her right to a hearing regarding the request for amendment. Additional information regarding the hearing procedures will be provided to the student when notified of the right to a hearing. 3. The right to consent to disclosures of personally identifiable information contained in the student’s educational records, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent. One exception that permits disclosure without consent is disclosure to school officials with legitimate educational interests. A school official is a person employed by the University in an administrative, supervisory, academic, research or support staff position (including law enforcement unit personnel and health staff); a person or company with whom the University has contracted (such as an attorney, auditor, or collection agent); a person serving on the Council of Trustees; or a student serving on an official committee, such as a disciplinary or grievance committee or assisting another school official in performing his or her tasks. A school official has a legitimate educational interest if the official needs to review an educational record in order to fulfill his or her professional responsibility. Upon request, the University may disclose educational records without consent to officials of another school in which a student seeks or intends to enroll. 4. As of January 3, 2012, the U.S. Department of Education’s FERPA regulations expand the circumstances under which a student’s educational records and personally identifiable information (PII) contained in such records—including Social Security Number, grades, or other private information—may be accessed without the student’s consent. First, the U.S. Comptroller General, the U.S. Attorney General, the U.S. Secretary of Education, or state and local education authorities (“Federal and State Authorities”) may allow access to a student’s PII without consent to any third party designated by a Federal or State Authority to evaluate a federalor state-supported education program. The evaluation may relate to any program that is “principally engaged in the provision of education,” such as early childhood education and job training, as well as any program that is administered by an educational agency 5. The right to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education concerning alleged failures by Edinboro University to comply with the requirements of FERPA. The name and address of the office that administers FERPA is: Family Policy Compliance Office U.S. Department of Education 400 Maryland Avenue, SW Washington, DC 20202-4605 Directory Information The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), a Federal law, requires that colleges and universities, with certain exceptions, obtain a student’s written consent prior to disclosure of personally identifiable information. However, institutions may (not must) disclose appropriately designated “directory information” without written consent, unless the university has been advised by the student that he/ she does not wish to have his/her directory information released. Directory information, which is information that is generally not considered harmful or an invasion of privacy if released, can, but is not required to be disclosed to outside organizations without the student’s written permission. Edinboro University is committed to maintaining the privacy of its students’ records and therefore also limits its release of Directory Information for official University purposes only. Edinboro University will not release Directory Information for solicitation purposes to 3rd parties from outside the university. This includes outside vendors, businesses and organizations unless the university has entered into a contract or agreement with the organization to supply specific service to the university or its students that requires the use of this information. The Registrar, as the custodian of student records, also carefully screens the release of Directory Information to parties within the university to assure that its students only receive correspondence related to the academic and social missions of the institution. Edinboro University hereby designates the following student information as “directory information.” Such information may be disclosed without a student’s previous consent by the institution for any purpose, at its discretion with the exceptions noted below: 1.

The University will not partially withhold this information, so students are advised to think carefully before requesting non-disclosure. To withhold disclosure, written notification must be received in the Office of Records and Registration, Hamilton Hall, 210 Glasgow Road, Edinboro, PA 16444. Forms requesting the withholding of “directory information” are available online or in the Office of Records and Registration. Edinboro University assumes that failure on the part of any student to specifically request the withholding of “directory information” indicates individual approval for disclosures. Former students and alumni are not covered under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). As such, the University is not obligated to honor requests for nondisclosure of “directory information” from former students.

GPA 4.00 3.67 3.33 3.00 2.67 2.33 2.00 1.67 1.33 1.00 0.67 0.00 Research in Progress: The “R” letter is used in undergraduate courses where circumstances prevent the completion of a project involving research or similar investigations, within the normal academic grading period. The deadline for the removal of an “R” designator, and its replacement by a standard letter grade, is one calendar year from the date of the original posting of the “R” designator. Incomplete: The “I” letter indicates the student has been unable to complete the required coursework within the time limit of the course because of illness, or some other reason acceptable to the faculty member teaching the course. The deadline for the completion of an Incomplete grade(s) is at the end of the 4th week of the next subsequent regular semester. “Failure to complete the necessary work within the time limit will result in the “I” designator being automatically converted to a failing grade (F) for the course. Extenuating Circumstances Withdrawal: W grades are awarded to students who withdraw after the tenth week for extenuating circumstances. Procedures for withdrawal are listed elsewhere in this section. No withdrawals are valid unless the student has secured the approval of the dean of the faculty in which a student is a major. No withdrawals are permitted once the final exam period has begun. Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory Grading System (S/U) 1. The satisfactory/unsatisfactory option will be open to any undergraduate student who, at the beginning of the semester, is in good academic standing and has more than thirty-one (31) earned semester hours. 2. Students will receive a final grade of S (satisfactory) for C- or better work or U (unsatisfactory) for D+ or below, for a course taken under the S/U standard where a dual grading system exists. 3. A satisfactory grade will count toward graduation but will not affect the student’s quality point average. An unsatisfactory grade will not count toward graduation and will not affect the student’s quality point average. 34 | Academic Affairs Information 4. Departments may, through the standard course review and approval process, offer courses that are graded entirely according to the satisfactory/unsatisfactory standard. All other courses are optional S/U courses in which students will receive a grade according to the standard for which they are registered. 5. Student teaching will be graded on a letter grade basis unless the student elects, during the add period, to receive a S/U grade. Failure to request the S/U grade will result in letter grading. 6. Only those courses which are offered solely on a S/U basis may be repeated under the satisfactory/unsatisfactory option. 7. Students may opt for no more than four (4) satisfactory/ unsatisfactory courses totaling no more than fifteen (15) semester hours. Courses offered solely on an S/U basis are exempted from this limit, as is student teaching if the student teacher selects the S/U option. Within these limits, students may take a maximum of one S/U course each semester and one each summer session. 8. No students will be permitted to use the S/U option for any courses that are required for their major, unless the course has been approved for grading on the S/U basis as established in Paragraph 4 above. In this case, a required course graded on a S/U basis will not be counted against the limits established in Paragraph 7 above. PROCEDURE 1. Students wishing to exercise the S/U option must do so during the registration period (specifically, during the period for adding courses). After opting for S/U, students may not then elect to receive a letter grade in that course. 2. 3. In courses with some students on the traditional grading system and others electing the course S/U, the instructors will not know which students are taking the course S/U. The traditional final grade for the course will be recorded and submitted by the professor to the Office of Records and Registration. It will be the duty of the Office of Records and Registration to convert the traditional grade to either S or U for inclusion on the student’s record. Students who elect a course or courses under the S/U option and who then transfer to a major for which that course or courses are required may be allowed to transfer S/U courses for credit at the discretion of the Dean having jurisdiction over the department into which they are transferring. Student Appeal Procedure When a student has a problem, concern, or difficulty with a faculty member, the student should first discuss the matter with the instructor. If agreement is reached, the matter is resolved. If agreement is not reached, then the student may appeal to the department chairperson of the department to which the faculty member belongs. A meeting with the student, the faculty member, and the chairperson will be held. If agreement is reached, the problem is solved. If agreement is not reached, then the student may appeal to the dean of the school to which the faculty member reports. A meeting with the student, the faculty member, the chairperson, and the dean will be held. If a satisfactory solution is found, the problem is solved. If not, then the student may appeal to the provost/vice president for academic affairs in an attempt to resolve the problem. It is anticipated that, through the use of the above procedures, the problem will be resolved and there will be no need for further interactions. The president of the University is the final source of appeal. Grade Appeal INTENT This policy provides for due process in the rare instance when a student believes that a final grade assigned in a course reflects unsubstantiated academic evaluation or calculation error by the course instructor. It also provides a remedy in cases where the hearing process sustains the student’s claim. The process is not a disciplinary proceeding for any of the involved parties, although the findings may lead to disciplinary investigation or action under a different University policy. POLICY Each academic department of the University shall have an Academic Appeals Committee. Membership on the Committee shall consist of at least three faculty members of the department and at least two students who are majors in the department’s programs, all of whom shall be elected by the department faculty. Students wishing to appeal a final grade must initiate the appeal within fifteen (15) calendar days after the beginning of the semester following the issuance of the grade. Summer school shall not constitute a semester for purposes of calculating the appeal period for grades issued in the spring semester; winter session shall not constitute a semester for purposes of calculating the appeal period for grades issued in the fall semester. The departments shall maintain records of all grade appeals. With the exception of the grade change, no part of this procedure will become a part of any individual’s university record or file. Since the grading process involves the instructor’s judgment of the student’s academic performance, the only issue under consideration for final grade appeal is whether the student can provide clear evidence that the assignment of the grade was a result of a calculation error or was assigned based on unsubstantiated academic evaluation by the instructor. Examples of reasons for appeal include the following: • • • The instructor did not calculate the student’s grade consistent with the instructor’s policy for calculating grades as outlined in the instructor’s syllabus, written instructions, and/or communicated grading rubric for the relevant assignments. In this instance, the instructor may be found to have made significant and unwarranted deviations from grading procedures or course outlines set at the beginning of the course. The course grade was assigned in an arbitrary, capricious or inequitable manner against the student. This condition does not include disagreement between the student and instructor on the subjective professional evaluation of the instructor. There is an error in the computation of the grade. APPEALS PROCEDURE 1. The student should initiate the procedure by consulting on an informal basis with the FACULTY member who assigned the final grade within fifteen (15) calendar days of the start of the subsequent semester. Summer school shall not constitute a semester for purposes of calculating the appeal period for grades issued in the spring semester; winter session shall not constitute a semester for purposes of calculating the appeal period for grades issued in the fall semester. If no satisfactory results are achieved, then the student may continue the appeals procedure. (In the instance where the instructor is on leave or no longer employed by the University, the student should appeal directly to the department chairperson, who shall make a reasonable attempt to contact the instructor for resolution or response to the appeal. In the event that the instructor cannot be contacted, the student may proceed through the appeal process with the department chairperson serving to represent the instructor in the appeal to the best of his/her ability. The department chairperson may also appoint an alternate faculty member (preferably from the same discipline as the original instructor) to represent the interests of the instructor in the appeal process.) Academic Affairs Information | 35 2. A written grade appeal shall be made by the student directly to the FACULTY member who gave the grade within twenty-five (25) calendar days after the beginning of the semester following the issuance of the grade. A copy of the appeal must be sent to the chairperson of the department in which the appeal is made. Summer school shall not constitute a semester for purposes of calculating the calendar day term in the previous sentence for grades issued in the spring semester; winter session shall not constitute a semester for purposes of calculating the appeal period for grades issued in the fall semester. If the department chairperson is the FACULTY member subject to grade appeal, then the chair of the department Academic Appeals Committee shall substitute for the department chairperson in this process. Should the FACULTY member find in favor of the student, the grade change form, initialed by the department chairperson, shall be sent within ten (10) calendar days to the Registrar, who will notify the student of the grade change. Should the FACULTY member find in favor of the grade as given, the student shall be notified, in writing, within ten (10) calendar days by the FACULTY member, with copy to the department chairperson. 3. Should the student desire, he/she may appeal a negative decision by the FACULTY member to the Academic Appeals Committee of the department in which he/she received the grade within ten (10) calendar days after being notified by the FACULTY member. The appeal shall be made, in writing, to the chairperson of the departmental Academic Appeals Committee, with a copy provided to the department chairperson. The Committee shall hold a hearing within ten (10) calendar days following the student appeal. Both the FACULTY member and the student involved shall be invited to attend. The appeal shall be heard under the following conditions: a) While it is ideal that the entire Academic Appeals Committee hear the appeal, a minimum of a majority of faculty on the Academic Appeals Committee and at least one student member shall hear the appeal. Only members who attend the hearing shall have the right to vote on the appeal. b) The Academic Appeals Committee shall only consider facts and circumstances surrounding the assignment of the grade to determine if the grade was a result of a calculation error or was assigned based on unsubstantiated academic evaluation by the instructor. In no event shall impact of the decision on the student’s academic standing or other circumstance outside the standard of review above be considered in the appeal. c) The Committee shall have the power by simple majority vote of those members who attended the appeal hearing to decide cases involving grades erroneously calculated or assigned based on this policy. A tie vote of the Committee upholds the FACULTY member’s decision. d) No student or FACULTY member shall sit in judgment if he/she is involved in the case, is a family member of either party, or resides in the same residence of either party. The Chair of the Academic Appeals Committee shall inform the student in writing regarding the outcome of the appeal. Should the committee find in favor of the student, a recommendation of a grade change shall be sent to the Dean of the appropriate College or School. The Dean shall thereafter submit the grade change form to the Registrar within fifteen (15) calendar days of receipt of the committee recommendation. 4. The student may appeal the ruling of the departmental Academic Appeals Committee to the Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs only in either of the following circumstances: (1) there was an error in procedure or interpretation of this policy that was so substantial as to effectively deny the student a fair hearing; or (2) new and significant evidence, which could not have been presented by diligent preparation at the initial hearing, has become available. The student shall present this appeal in writing to the Office of the Provost/VPAA within ten (10) calendar days of receipt of the ruling from the departmental Academic Appeals Committee. The appeal must include evidence indicating the occurrence of one of the two above cited circumstances. The Provost/VPAA may hold a hearing within fifteen (15) calendar days of receipt of this appeal, if the Provost determines the appeal appears warranted based on (1) and/or (2), above; otherwise the student will be informed that the appeal has been denied. If a hearing is scheduled, the participants will include the Provost/ VPAA (or his/her designee), the FACULTY member, the chairperson of the Academic Appeals Committee, and the student involved under the following conditions. a) The student and FACULTY member will receive a written decision regarding the grade appeal from the Provost/VPAA, copied to the department’s Academic Appeals Committee and department chairperson. b) The Provost/VPAA shall only consider facts and circumstances surrounding the assignment of the grade to determine if the grade was a result of a calculation error or was assigned based on unsubstantiated academic evaluation by the instructor. c) The Provost/VPAA shall not sit in judgment if he/she is involved in the case, is a family member of either party, or resides in the same residence of either party. In this case, the appeal, or determination of the same shall be heard by the President. d) The decision of the Provost/VPAA regarding the grade appeal will be final. If the Provost/VPAA finds for the student, the Provost/VPAA will direct the department chairperson to work with the FACULTY member and/or other faculty in that discipline to determine the appropriate grade. Grade Point Average (GPA) Graduation is based on satisfactory completion of a certain quality of specified coursework and on the maintenance of a minimum quality of scholarship. A grade point average of 2.00 is the minimum required in most curricula. If a given curriculum requires more than an overall GPA of 2.00, this requirement will be specified in the section of the catalogue describing that program. The following grade points are assigned to the equivalent grade as follows: A = 4.00 C = 2.00 A= 3.67 C= 1.67 B+ = 3.33 D+ = 1.33 B = 3.00 D = 1.00 B= 2.67 D= 0.67 C+ = 2.33 F = 0.00 To earn the minimum 2.00 grade point average the student must earn a number of grade points equal to twice the number of semester hours of credit that he/she has attempted. R and I grades do not affect the grade point average until these grades are changed to reflect the final grade of academic work in the course by the award of a final grade. Grades are available at the midterm and at the end of the semester on the S.C.O.T.S. system. The grade report lists courses attempted, GPA hours attempted, hours earned and grade points. GPA Hours attempted equal the number of semester hours for which a student enrolls. Hours earned equal the number of semester hours completed with a D- or better grade. The grade points equal the hours earned multiplied by the grade point award for each grade. Thus to determine the grade point average one divides the grade points by the GPA hours. 36 | Academic Affairs Information EXAMPLE: A student receiving the following grades during a semester would have 15 GPA hours, 17 hours earned, 39.99 grade points, and a grade point average of 2.66. GPA Earned Hours Hours 3 3 3 3 2 2 4 4 0 3 2 2 1 0 15 17 Grade Point Average 39.99 divided by 15 = 2.66 Course 1st Subject 2nd Subject 3rd Subject 4th Subject 5th Subject 6th Subject 7th Subject Grade B C+ D A S B F Grade Points 9 6.99 2 16 0 6 0 39.99 It should be noted in the example that courses taken on a Satisfactory/ Unsatisfactory basis do not contribute to the hours attempted or the grade points earned. A course failed does count for the GPA hours but does not contribute to the hours earned or the number of grade points accumulated. Class Standing There is a relationship between traditional class standing and credits earned. Academic progress is measured by credits earned. The following table defines class standing. However, academic progress, as it relates to issues such as scheduling priority, is determined by credits earned. Freshman Sophomore Junior Senior Credits Earned 0-29 30-59 60-89 90-120 Repeating Courses Undergraduate students may repeat any course. Undergraduate students will be limited to a maximum total of six repeated courses. Students cannot repeat more than six courses unless an exception to the policy has been granted by the Provost or designee. A single course can be repeated a maximum of two times. The course should appear no more than three times on a transcript unless the student has appealed and has been granted an exception for extenuating circumstances by the Provost or designee. The most recent grade (regardless of whether it is higher or lower) will be the grade used for the cumulative GPA calculation. Note: For Post-Baccalaureate students, if the student classification is Graduate then the Graduate Course Repeat Policy is applicable. Undergraduate students may repeat failed course work at another institution. Students should utilize a transfer articulator such as the PA TRAC, which is found at www.patrac.org or the Edinboro University Transfer Articulator on the EUP website. These transfer articulators will assist in course selections at a community college or another college/university for transfer back to EUP. We strongly suggest that students consult with their Academic Advisor or Dean prior to registering for classes. Following completion of the coursework the student is instructed to have an official transcript sent to the Office of Records and Registration. Transcripts are compared with the authorization form and, if the students earned a grade of “C-” or better, the credits are added to the academic record; and if the student is repeating failed coursework, then the failed course at Edinboro is coded so as not to impact the student’s GPA. Academic Departments may designate specific courses as allowing a limited number of repeats. If a student must repeat a course designated as such more than once to earn a grade of C or better, then the permission of the chair of the department offering the course must be obtained prior to registration for the third time. Exception to the above policy, when it serves the best interest of both the students and the University, will be possible only with the approval of (1) the department chair in which the student is majoring, (2) the department chair offering the course, and (3) the dean administering the curriculum in which the student is majoring. Exemption from Required Courses An undergraduate student may apply for exemption from required courses in his/her curriculum by following the procedure outlined below: 1. A recommendation from the student’s academic advisor and endorsed by the chairperson of the student’s major department is forwarded to the student’s program dean. 2. If a dean grants an exemption, an authorization for exemption is forwarded to the Registrar with copies to the student, the student’s advisor, and the chairperson of the student’s major department. 3. Students who desire an exemption from a course for which they have been scheduled must do so before the end of the “ADD” period by following the procedure outlined above. Academic Warning, Probation, and Suspension A minimum cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 2.00 is required of undergraduate students to be in good academic standing, and is required of students to graduate from certificate, associate degree, and baccalaureate degree programs at the University. A GPA higher than 2.0 is required for some degree programs. Students on Academic Warning or Probation may continue at the university under conditions developed by the Academic Success Center. Academic standing will be adjusted for any student according to performance in summer or winter sessions. Academic Warning Any degree seeking student earning a cumulative GPA of 2.00 or higher AND a semester GPA below a 2.00 in their most recent term (fall semester, winter session, spring semester, summer session) will be placed on Academic Warning. Students on Academic Warning may attend summer or winter sessions. Academic Probation Any degree seeking student earning a cumulative GPA of less than a 2.00 will be placed on Academic Probation. If the student on Academic Probation earns a semester GPA of at least a 2.00 without their cumulative GPA reaching a 2.00 or better, they will continue on Academic Probation. This status will continue for each term, including summer or winter sessions, until their cumulative GPA reaches or surpasses 2.00. Students on Academic Probation may attend summer or winter sessions. Students Admitted on Academic Probation Students admitted to the University on Academic Probation are subject to the same guidelines as stated above. Academic Suspension Any student on Academic Probation who fails to meet both the 2.00 semester and 2.00 cumulative GPA standards will be placed on Academic Suspension. Students may apply for reinstatement during their first semester (fall or spring) of suspension, but the period of suspension must be fully served before the student may resume coursework. Immediate appeals Academic Affairs Information | 37 of academic suspension (for health emergencies, an error in records, or other extraordinary extenuating circumstances) must be filed with the Office of Records & Registration by the deadline date specified by that Office. The Registrar will then forward the list of appellants, including input from Student Affairs, to the Academic Success Center for review and recommendation. The Academic Success Center will respond to the Registrar’s request within one week. Repeating Failed Coursework Undergraduate students may repeat failed coursework at another institution. Students should utilize a transfer articulator, such as the PA TRAC, to assist in selecting transferrable courses from another institution. It is strongly suggested that students consult with their academic advisor or Dean prior to registering for classes. Following completion of the coursework, the student must have an official transcript sent to the Edinboro University Admissions Office. If the student earns a grade of “C-” or better, the credits are added to the academic record. If the student is repeating failed coursework, the failed course at Edinboro will be excluded from the student’s GPA calculation. The Registrar will then forward a recommendation to the appropriate Dean, including the reviews and recommendations by Student Affairs and the Academic Success Center. The Dean will decide for or against reinstatement of the student, including any conditions associated with the reinstatement. The Dean will notify the Registrar of the decision within one week. Reinstatement Students who are reinstated to the University following Academic Suspension are subject to the Academic Reinstatement Policy. The academic standing of reinstated students will be determined using the guidelines outlined in this policy. If satisfactory academic progress is not made following reinstatement from suspension, the student will be suspended again. Students are ineligible for reinstatement after a second suspension. Students in this circumstance should consult University Policy A030: Fresh Start for possible future options. Academic Reinstatement Academic Probation/Suspension for Transfer Students Transfer student progress is determined the same as for non-transfer students. The cumulative GPA for transfer students is computed only using hours attempted at Edinboro University. When, in the judgment of the Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs, extenuating circumstances prevail, exceptions to this policy may be made. RELATED POLICIES PASSHE, Board of Governors Policies, System Academic and Financial Procedures: SA043, Academic Standing; EUP Policies: A031, Academic Reinstatement; A022, Repeating Courses; A019, Transfer Standards; EUP Procedure: 22. Appeal of Academic Suspension A student placed on academic suspension may appeal the suspension immediately due to an error in records or an extraordinary extenuating circumstance (e.g., health emergency, death in family). The appeal must be filed in writing and received at the office of Records and Registration by the date specified in the student’s letter of suspension. The Residence Life Office is notified of appeals made by students who live in University residence halls so that their rooms will not be reassigned prior to the conclusion of the appeal process. Other students who have been suspended may appeal their suspension during their first regular semester of suspension. The Registrar’s staff will review each appeal and check for holds that may prevent reinstatement (i.e., financial or judicial). If holds exist, the student will be informed and required to clear these holds before his/ her appeal is considered. Appeals from suspension will be reviewed 4 times per year: January 1, March 15, June 1, and October 15th. Should a student miss a deadline, the appeal will be held until the next scheduled suspension review date. The Registrar will forward the list of appellants to Student Affairs for review and recommendations. Student Affairs will respond to the Registrar’s request within one week. The Registrar will receive the Dean’s decision and update the student’s record, prepare a class schedule (to include any mandatory repeating of courses) per the Dean, and communicate with the student. The advisor and chairperson will be informed of the conditions for reinstatement or the denial thereof. Undergraduate students whose enrollment at Edinboro University has lapsed for at least one academic semester and who have previously withdrawn from the University must make application for reinstatement to the Office of Records and Registration. Reinstatement into any academic major is subject to the approval of the dean of the appropriate school. Financial obligations and any account holds that prevent registration will preclude reinstatement to the University. Students under disciplinary suspension will not be considered for reinstatement until the terms of the suspension sanction have been met. Students under academic suspension for the first time will be considered for reinstatement provided at least one academic semester has elapsed since suspension. Students suspended a second time will not be reinstated (see Academic Warning, Probation and Suspension Policy, A023). Students requesting reinstatement from suspension or who were on probation at the time of withdrawal may be subject to conditions for reinstatement. Undergraduate students may repeat failed coursework at another institution.Students should utilize a transfer articulator, such as the PA TRAC, to assist in selecting transferrable courses from another institution. It is strongly suggested that students consult with their academic advisor or Dean prior to registering for classes. Following completion of the coursework the student must have an official transcript sent to the Edinboro University Admissions Office. If the student earns a grade of “C-” or better, the credits are added to the academic record. If the student is repeating failed coursework, the failed course at Edinboro will be excluded from the student’s GPA calculation. Students who for any reason have interrupted their enrollment at Edinboro University for a period exceeding one calendar year are subject to the curriculum and graduation requirements in effect at the time of their reinstatement. Reinstated students who return to the University within one calendar year of their last enrollment have the option of continuing under the curriculum and graduation requirements for which they were responsible when they left the institution. Procedure Application for reinstatement must be made to the Office of Records and Registration. Policy No. A031 38 | Academic Affairs Information Plagiarism Plagiarism may be defined as the act of taking the ideas and/or expression of ideas of another person and representing them as one’s own. It is nothing less than an act of theft, and, as such, is subject to University disciplinary action. The penalty for plagiarism may include a failing grade for the assignment in question and/or a failing grade for the course. Clearly, plagiarism defeats the central purpose of education, namely, to enable one to think and formulate one’s own ideas. The student who has doubts about whether his/her work may constitute plagiarism should consult with the course instructor prior to submitting the work. The instructor can provide clear guidance on how the student can avoid committing this act of academic misconduct. 5. Undergraduate students may repeat failed course work at another institution. Students should utilize a transfer articulator such as the PA TRAC, which is found at www.patrac.org or the Edinboro University Transfer Articulator on the EU website. These transfer articulators will assist in course selections at a community college or another college/university for transfer back to EU. It is strongly suggested that students consult with their Academic Advisor or Chairperson prior to registering for classes. Following completion of the coursework the student is instructed to have an official transcript sent to the Undergraduate Admissions Office. Transcripts are processed and, if the student earned a grade of “C-” or better, the college-level credits that meet University requirements are added to the academic record; and if the student is repeating failed coursework, then the failed course at Edinboro is coded so as not to impact the student’s GPA. Undergraduate Transfer Standards INTENT The intent of this policy is to establish University standards with regard to the acceptance of transfer coursework for undergraduate students seeking admission to the institution and for matriculated students at the institution seeking to complete coursework at other regionally accredited institutions for transfer back to the University. POLICY In accordance with its enrollment management plan, Edinboro University seeks to enroll certain qualified students in transfer from other institutions of higher education. Review and acceptance of academic credits for students is performed by the Undergraduate Admissions Office in consultation with department chairs, and Academic Deans, as appropriate. PROCEDURE Transfer coursework from other institutions of higher education is evaluated according to the following conditions: 1. Edinboro University accepts credits in transfer from institutions of higher education which are accredited by regional accrediting bodies (e.g., Middle States Commission on Higher Education). Coursework completed at institutions which are not regionally accredited may be accepted by the University following evaluation by the academic deans in consultation with department chairs. 2. A student who completes an associate degree from a publicly supported Pennsylvania community college can expect to have all coursework considered for transfer. “D” grades for such students will be treated as the University treats “D” grades for its nontransfer students. 3. A student who has a baccalaureate degree from another institution and is attempting to complete a second baccalaureate degree at the University will have all applicable degree credits from the first degree applied toward meeting the requirements of the second degree program. However, students seeking a second baccalaureate degree must earn at least 30 of their last 60 credits through completion of Edinboro University coursework and complete any outstanding requirements for the degree program they seek to complete. 4. Transfer credit completed by correspondence is accepted from regionally accredited institutions of higher education up to a maximum of 30 semester hours. Transfer credit is also awarded for coursework completed by correspondence for members of the Armed Forces of the United States enrolled in an approved Department of Defense program. Transfer credit is not awarded for the completion of nonacademic credits such as Continuing Education Units (CEUs). 6. Credit to meet degree requirements for a particular academic program will not be given for 1) courses which are not equivalent to those required or approved for the curriculum; 2) courses completed at other colleges or universities in which grades below C- were earned. Academic deans may allow free elective credit to be awarded for valid academic courses for which the University has no equivalent. 7. Credits are not officially accepted and applied to a student’s academic record until an official transcript from each transfer institution is on file. As defined by the Registrar, an official transcript must come directly from the sending institution and contain the signature of the registrar (or other appropriate person) and official seal of the institution. 8. For international transfer students seeking transfer credit, the Admissions Office at Edinboro University REQUIRES that all internationally-educated applicants have their foreign credentials from a college or university evaluated by an accredited credential evaluation service. For a list of such services, please consult the National Association of Credential Evaluation Services (NACES). Transfer applicants must have a “Course by Course Report” completed by the service. 9. In cases of parallel programs articulated with community colleges, courses are accepted in transfer as per the written agreement. Wherever possible, established articulation matrices are utilized to evaluate such coursework. 10. In cases involving institutions for which no previous review of coursework has been completed, catalog records and related evidence will be used to make equivalency determinations. In cases where course descriptions are not readily available, the student will be asked to provide course descriptions. In special situations where additional information is deemed necessary in order to make equivalency decisions, the student will be asked to provide a course syllabus. Department chairpersons and the academic deans will determine the acceptability of courses in cases where equivalency to Edinboro coursework is questionable. 11. Coursework completed more than ten calendar years prior to the term for which the student is seeking admission to the University will be reviewed for acceptability for transfer by the department chairs and academic deans in accordance with the provisions of Policy A028 (Evaluation of Credits Over Ten Years Old). 12. All credits taken on a quarter-hour basis will be converted to semester hours by multiplying the quarter-hours by two-thirds. Academic Affairs Information | 39 13. All first baccalaureate degree students will take at least 30 of their last 60 credits at Edinboro University. All first baccalaureate and associate students will take at least 50% of credits required for the Major (including required cognate courses) from a PASSHE university. Certain majors may require up to a maximum of 50% of the major credits to be taken at Edinboro University. Students seeking an associate degree must complete at least 15 of their last 30 credits in courses scheduled by the University. 14. Transfer student progress is determined the same as for non-transfer students. The cumulative GPA for transfer students is calculated using only hours attempted and earned at Edinboro University. 15. To be eligible for honors recognition at graduation, a transfer student must have attempted and earned at least 45 semester hours of credit at Edinboro University, and have earned a cumulative quality point average of at least 3.40 (4.00 scale) for all credits graded on the A through F scale earned at Edinboro University. Visiting Student Program As a member institution of the State System of Higher Education, Edinboro University participates in the Visiting Student Program, which is designed to facilitate enrollment of undergraduate students at SSHE institutions other than their home campuses. Through the program, Edinboro University students may enroll for a limited period of time at any of the other SSHE institutions in order to take advantage of courses, programs, or educational experiences not available at Edinboro, without loss of institutional residency, eligibility for honors or athletics, or credits toward graduation. Any visiting student wishing to receive financial aid for coursework taken at Edinboro must make arrangements for aid through their “home institution.” For more information about the Visiting Student Program, contact the Registrar, Office of Records and Registration, Hamilton Hall. Fresh Start An undergraduate student who has been academically dismissed may apply for re-admission to the institution and have a new academic record created. Students must provide a written application for a Fresh Start re-admission and can be admitted only once under this program. Conditions for re-admission are as follows: 1. A student must sit out at least two academic years before being eligible for Fresh Start. 2. A student will be placed on provisional status for one semester of full time study, or until he/she has attempted 15 semester hours if attending part- time. A student must achieve a minimum quality point average of 2.00 by the end of the period of provisional status. Failure to achieve the 2.00 minimum QPA will result in permanent suspension from Edinboro University. 3. All grades for courses on the Edinboro University transcript taken prior to the point at which Fresh Start is granted will remain on the academic transcript and academic history, but the cumulative quality point average will be represented as “0.00.” 4. Only courses in which grades of C or better were earned at Edinboro will count as semester hours earned toward graduation. 5. Courses taken at other regionally accredited institutions prior to acceptance into the Fresh Start program will be evaluated for transfer. 6. A student who is readmitted under the provisions of the Fresh Stmi policy retains the right to utilize course repeat options as specified by University Policy. 3. 4. 5. *Disclaimer: Academic Fresh Start by Edinboro University does not guarantee that other institutions or employers will accept the standards of said policy. Many graduate and professional degree programs disregard undergraduate institutional policies, and compute the undergraduate GPA utilizing all hours attempted when determining admission. Edinboro University makes no guarantees as to how employers, certifying agencies, or other higher education institutions, including graduate school, professional schools and their common application systems (CAS), or other offices interpret the transcript of a student utilizing the Academic Fresh Start policy. It is the student’s responsibility to determine the implications of the Fresh Start GPA for each institution’s admissions process. Change of Major Procedure Students desiring to change from one major to another must make application at the Office of Records and Registration. Before a curriculum change is effected, a student’s academic record will be evaluated. Entrance into certain majors may be subject to enrollment constraints. To be eligible to declare a new major, a student generally must be in good standing, must meet program requirements, and the change must be approved by the chairperson of the school housing the program to which the student wishes to change. International students must comply with USCIS regulations regarding change of major. Students enrolled in the Undeclared curriculum are required to declare their major by the time they complete 30 semester hours. Undeclared students should consult with their advisors, the academic department representative for the intended major, and placement counselors before applying for a major change. Students are expected to follow their program of study outlined in the catalogue in effect at the time of their admission to that program. Students who transfer to a new program or who interrupt their program of study for a period exceeding one calendar year and are subsequently reinstated will be expected to meet the requirements of the program in effect at the time of their transfer or reinstatement. Students changing from one major to another may discover that some of their credits are not applicable to the curriculum of the new major. Because most curricula require a sequence of courses, it is advisable to make application for a change of major after completing 30 credit hours. Class Attendance Policy and Procedure POLICY 1. Students are expected to attend each and every class meeting in its entirety. Faculty members shall maintain a record of classroom attendance throughout the semester. Each student is responsible for verifying his or her attendance when arriving late to class and/ or justifying early departure. 2. PROCEDURE 1. The student applies in writing to the Registrar requesting readmission through the Fresh Start Program. 2. The Registrar will transmit the request to the dean for consideration, noting any academic or disciplinary holds. The dean of the college/school to which the student is seeking readmission will review and recommend on all applications for Fresh Start. The Provost/VPAA will approve or disapprove all applications for Fresh Start. Upon approval, the Registrar will direct the completion of an academic plan through the student’s advisor or department chair. Class absences are excused for medical reasons documented by medical personnel, university activities approved by the appropriate vice president or designee, and/or for personal exigencies. University activities to be recognized as an excused absence include but are not limited to: scheduled athletic competitions, academic competitions, etc., in which the student 40 | Academic Affairs Information is a participant. Other situations to be recognized as excused include: military duties, auto accidents, death in immediate family, medical emergencies. Verification of such absences may be required by the instructor, and the student is responsible for make-up work as required by the instructor. Students with excused absences are permitted to make-up and are responsible for all missed assignments without penalty. In cases where there have been significant absences, the student should consult with the instructor and academic advisor to determine if completion of course requirements are possible or reasonable. 3. Faculty members are encouraged to consider unexcused absences in their grading. Unless otherwise provided in writing in the course syllabus, and approved by the Provost, a student shall have the privilege of unexcused absences equal to the number of classes held in a week, or to one absence per credit hour, whichever is less; however, this shall not excuse the student from any stated deadlines for assignments or other work in the course and the student is responsible for completing all course requirements missed as provided in the syllabus. The instructor shall indicate in the course syllabus the ramifications of unexcused absences beyond that which is allowed hereunder. Individual programs requiring alternative attendance policies must be approved by the Dean of the school or college. PROCEDURES 1. All faculty shall keep attendance records throughout the semester/ session. • First Day Attendance: This policy establishes a presumption that if a student misses the first day of class without having made arrangements with the course instructor, they do not intend to remain in the class. The Registrar will administratively drop such students for non-attendance after receiving attendance data from the faculty. This will allow course seats to be made available for other students who wish to register, and will assist in identifying non-attending students so that financial aid may be returned to the U.S. Department of Education in a timely fashion. • Class Roster Verification at the end of the Drop-Add Period: The faculty will verify course rosters at the end of the add/ drop period. This verification affirms that the listed students have been involved in academically related activities associated with the course. For online courses, the instructor of record will advise students to log into the course and begin course activity during the add/drop period. o Notification of the roster verification will be provided by the Registrar with instructions on how to report nonparticipants. Students registered but not attending will be reported as non-attends and will be removed from the roster. • A third verification of the course roster will be accomplished at the time of midterm grade entry. o All faculty will report midterm grade information using online grade entry through SCOTS. n Grades earned as of midterm will be reported as appropriate for students. n Students registered but not attending will be given a grade with a last date of attendance. n A review of students receiving the lapsed attendance dates will be completed to determine if the student should be withdrawn from the course or maintain registration. • The final verification of the course roster will be accomplished at the time of final grade entry. F and UF Grades The United States Department of Education considers students to have “earned” failing grades if they participated in class beyond the 60% point of the course’s scheduled meeting time. For regular semesters, the 60% point is the end of the ninth week of classes. If students stop attending prior to the 60% point and do not officially withdraw from the course, the resulting failing grades are considered “unearned.” To aid in compliance, Edinboro University will use F and UF grades to indicate “earned” and “unearned” course failures consistent with this reporting requirement: • Faculty should assign “UF” to students who stopped attending class before the 60% point of the semester. • Faculty should assign “F” to students who attend beyond the 60% point of the semester but fail to meet the requirements to pass the course. Date of Last Attendance (Failing Grades Only) For all students assigned failing grades at the end of the semester (UF or F), the faculty must include a date of last attendance for each student. This date allows Edinboro to compute the portion of each student’s financial aid that must be returned to the federal government. Return of aid is required for any student who stopped attending prior to the 60% point of the semester (and who therefore should have received a UF grade). For students who completed the semester, the date of last attendance is normally the date of the final examination. For students who did not complete the semester, the date of last attendance can be established by classroom attendance records or through records of students’ participation in activities such as the following: tests, quizzes, assignment submissions, online discussion posts, or any other meaningful interaction with the faculty. The following guidance is provided in federal regulations: Academically Related Activity for Face to Face Instruction (FSA 5-59) Academically related activities include, but are not limited to: • Physically attending a class where there is an opportunity for direct interaction between the instructor and students. • Submitting an academic assignment. • Taking an exam, an interactive tutorial, or computer-assisted instruction. • Attending a study group that is assigned by the university. • Participating in an online discussion about academic matters. • Initiating contact with a faculty member to ask a question about the academic subject studied in the course. Academically related activities do not include activities where a student may be present but not academically engaged, such as: • Living in institutional housing. • Participating in the university’s meal plan. • Logging into an online class without active participation. • Participating in academic counseling or advisement. Academically Related Activity for Distance Education Courses (FSA 5-60) In a distance education context, documenting that a student has logged into an online class is not sufficient, by itself, to demonstrate academic attendance by the student. A school must demonstrate that a student participated in class or was otherwise engaged in an academically related activity. Academically related activities in a distance education course include, but are not limited to: • Student submission of an academic assignment. • Student submission of an exam. • Documented student participation in an interactive tutorial or computer-assisted instruction. Academic Affairs Information | 41 • • • A posting by the student showing the student’s participation in an online study group that is assigned by the institution. A posting by the student in a discussion forum showing the student’s participation in an online discussion about academic matters. An email from the student or other documentation showing the student initiated contact with a faculty member to ask a question about the academic subject studies in the course. 1. Financial Aid will review the last date of attendance (last date of academically related activity) for each student who receives all UF grades. Return of Title IV funds will be based on the latest date. 2. Faculty shall notify students in writing within the first week of the semester, or the equivalent time during the summer or winter sessions, of the grading consequences of class attendance/nonattendance. 3. It is the responsibility of the student to provide to the instructor, in advance when possible, documentation for all excused absences. 4. A student participating in an official university activity shall obtain a letter from the appropriate University official or his/ her designee authorizing the absence and provide it to the course instructor, in advance. 5. A student with an excused absence shall promptly arrange with the course instructor for making up missed assignments, in advance of the excused absence whenever possible. Student Academic Load I. DURING THE ACADEMIC YEAR The limits on the total course credit hours carried by a student each semester are based upon the academic record of the individual student and are as follows: 1. A normal full-time load is 12-18 semester hours. 2. Students who have an overall cumulative grade point average of 2.00 to 2.99 may register for 12 to 18 semester hours. 3. Students who have an overall cumulative grade point average of 3.00 or better may register for up to 18 semester hours, or 19-21 semester hours with the approval of the advisor, the department chairperson and the academic dean. 4. Students who have less than a 2.00 cumulative grade point average may register for a maximum of 16 semester hours. Students may register for additional credit hours under extenuating circumstances provided that they have the approval of their advisor, the department chairperson, and the academic dean. II. DURING SUMMER OR WINTER SESSION 1. Students normally take up to six semester hours (or eight if two four-credit courses are taken) during a five or six week summer session and up to three semester hours (or four if one four-credit course is taken) during a three week summer or winter session. 2. Requests to take more than the normal number of credit hours in any summer session should be made only under extenuating circumstance, and must be approved by the student’s advisor, department chairperson and academic dean. Procedure An overload approval form is available from the departmental office. If the request is approved by the advisor, the department chairperson and the academic dean, the approval form is then submitted to the Office of Records and Registration for recording purposes. The same form is used for all conditions covered under this policy. Procedure for Final Exams If a student has two examinations scheduled at the same time or more than two examinations in one day, the student should try to resolve the conflict with the instructors involved. If the problem cannot be resolved, the final for the class with the highest course number will be rescheduled. Definitions of a Credit and Course Information Semester Credit Hour Intent The intent of this policy is to establish standards for assigning semester hours of credit to courses offered by Edinboro University. Policy The principle guiding the assignment of one semester hour of credit is that each semester hour reasonably approximates not less than forty-five hours of effort by the student over the duration of the semester. Not all of this effort is necessarily expended while in face-to-face contact with an instructor. Different types of courses require different amounts of contact time. The following standards are intended to specify minimum contact time for the award of one semester hour of credit. Some courses exceed these minimum standards. For purposes of these standards, one hour of contact time is defined as fifty minutes of actual contact. Actual contact time is listed after each standard in parentheses. 1. Lecture semester hour = 15 hours (750 minutes) of contact per semester or per equivalent session. 2. Studio semester hour = 22.5 hours (1,125 minutes) of contact per semester per equivalent session. 3. Laboratory semester hour = 30 hours (1,500 minutes) of contact per semester per equivalent session. 4. Internship semester hour = 45 hours (2,250 minutes or 37.5 hours) of contact per semester per equivalent session. 5. Clock-hour semester hour = 45 hours (2,250 minutes or 37.5 hours) of contact per semester per equivalent session. Some courses may combine two or more of these categories. For example, a science course may combine two semester hours of lecture with one semester hour of laboratory for a total of three semester hours. In this case, the lecture component would include a minimum of 1,500 (2 times 750) minutes of contact and the laboratory component would include a minimum of 1,500 minutes of contact. Online and individualized instruction courses are assigned the same number of semester hours of credit as an identical course delivered in a fact-to-face format, based on a determination that the student learning objectives and outcomes attained by the online or individualized instruction course are consistent with those of the face-to-face course. Similar standards apply to the assignment of credit based upon life experience or examination. Online courses for which there are no faceto-face equivalents and independent study courses will be designed and offered to achieve course learning objectives that will reasonably approximate not less than forty-five hours of effort by the student for each semester hour of credit assigned. Procedures 1. At the time that a course is approved for inclusion in the curriculum, the basis for the assignment of credit hours should be specified and placed on file with the Registrar. 2. At the time that a course is approved for online delivery, it should be reviewed to ensure that the student learning objectives and outcomes are consistent with those of an identical course delivered face-to-face. 42 | Academic Affairs Information 3. The procedure for assigning undergraduate credits to reflect learning acquired in a non-traditional manner such as prior learning/life experience or examination may be found under Policy No. A004, Earning Credit by Examination or Evaluation. Academic Level of Courses Academic Level is used for State System reporting, faculty workload computations, fee calculations, course registration, transcripts and degree audit. Academic levels are be assigned to courses instead of relying on a course number. Codes are independent of course numbers and operate “behind the scenes”. Academic Level Code Description UG Level 0 050 Developmental/Remedial courses UG Level 1 110 Introduction/Foundation UG courses UG Level 2 120 Intermediate/Foundation UG courses UG Level 3 130 Intermediate/Advanced UG courses UG Level 4 140 Advanced UG courses GR Bi-level 150 Introductory GR courses Masters Level 1 220 Intermediate GR, courses open to undergraduates on a limited basis Masters Level 2 230 Advanced GR, open to graduate students only Doctoral Level 250 Doctoral courses only Clock Hour 400 Non-credit courses and activities CEU Courses 500 Continuing education unit activities Not Applicable 999 Interactive TV Home site (ITVH) A Synchronous learning situation, occurring on campus, where the instructor teaches students sitting in the classroom at the same time students at a remote site are receiving that same instruction in realtime. Students at both sites speak with each other and the instructor during the class via the technology in place. Interactive TV Remote site (ITVR) A Synchronous learning situation, where the instructor teaches students via Interactive TV in real-time from the home site. Students at a remote site are receiving that same instruction as the students at the home site. Students at both sites speak with each other and the instructor during the class via the technology in place. Adding, Dropping and Withdrawal from Courses Students may add a course to their schedule during the “Add” period, which is no later than the 8th day of the semester, or an equivalent period in a session. Students may drop courses from their schedule via S.C.O.T.S. no later than the 8th day of the semester. Courses dropped during this period will not be entered on a student’s academic record. After the 8th day of a semester, or equivalent period in a session, students are permitted to withdraw from a course via S.C.O.T.S., and the course will appear on the student’s academic record with the grade of W (withdrawal). A request for an official withdrawal from any or all classes after ten weeks of the semester or equivalent period in a session will be reviewed by the Dean, and, if extenuating circumstances exist, the request may be approved. If approved, a student will receive a W (withdrawal) on their academic record. No withdrawals are permitted once the final exam period has begun. Students are advised that a withdrawal fee of $25.00 per course will be charged after the add/drop period has ended (this fee does not apply to 1st semester freshmen and students doing a total withdrawal from all courses). Withdrawal From All Courses 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Students wishing to drop or withdraw from all courses and leave the University are able to do so via S.C.O.T.S. system or by using the on-line total withdrawal form. Students who withdraw from scheduled courses during the first 8 days of a semester, or an equivalent period during a session, will be permitted to drop their classes without academic penalty; no academic record will be kept for those courses. From the second through the tenth week, or an equivalent period in a session, students who withdraw from their classes will receive a W (withdrawal) on their academic record for the courses from which they withdrew. A request for an official withdrawal from any or all classes after ten week of the semester or equivalent period in a session will be reviewed by the Dean, and, if extenuating circumstances exist, the request may be approved. If approved, a student will receive a W (withdrawal) on their academic record. No withdrawals are permitted once the final exam period has begun. Student planning to withdraw from the University under the provision of this policy are subject to the current refund policy stipulated in the University catalogue and website. Undergraduate students who file a total withdrawal or whose enrollment has lapsed must apply for reinstatement to return to the university after one semester’s absence. See Policy A031 for information about Academic Reinstatement. Procedure Students seeking to withdraw from all courses are encouraged to carefully consider such an important decision and its impact on their academic career and financial aid status. Students should seek the advice of their academic advisor, course instructors and other appropriate university staff prior to completing the withdrawal form or submitting the total withdrawal via S.C.O.T.S. • The student should meet with the Financial Aid Office concerning any aid currently being received, and the impact of withdrawing from all courses. Course withdrawals may affect a student’s eligibility for current or future financial aid. • Contact the Bursar’s Office to ascertain any account balance. Any balance should be cleared or recorded in the presence of the student. If a credit shows, assistance should be provided in filing for any appropriate refund. • If applicable, the student should arrange to meet with Residence Life and Housing staff to sign out of the residence hall room and turn in the key within 24 hours after signing the withdrawal form/ or submitting the withdrawal via S.C.O.T.S. • The Office of Records and Registration will update student records as appropriate. All pertinent university offices will receive a weekly report of students who have processed a total withdrawal. Academic Affairs Information | 43 Priority Registration Priority class registration is defined in the following three tiers. The following students (Tier 1) will receive priority registration above all other students, beginning at 6:00 AM on the first day of registration: 1. Students registered with the Office for Students with Disabilities 2. University Honors Students 3. Graduate Level Students 4. Paid deposit new freshmen and transfer students (for the upcoming semester) The following students (Tier 2) will receive priority registration 24 hours in advance of their cohort: 5. Adult students registered with the Office of Transfer and Adult Student Services for priority registration 6. Student Athletes 7. Veterans The following students (Tier 3) will receive priority registration 12 hours in advance of their cohort: 8. Music students 9. SGA Members 10. Student Trustee to the Edinboro University Council of Trustees 11. University Senate Members 12. Contracted ROTC Cadets 13. Living-Learning Scholars 14. Students in Theatre Productions DEFINITIONS The following student groups are granted priority: Students registered with the Office for Students with Disabilities. Students with documented disabilities are provided an opportunity to establish a class schedule that will accommodate their physical and academic needs. Some students require time between classes due to mobility limitations or testing accommodations. Others may need a balance in the types of classes or additional time to secure specific academic accommodations (sign language interpreters, textbooks in alternative format, note-taking services.) Priority registration provides an opportunity for students with disabilities to secure a class schedule that minimizes the limitations of their disability. University Honors Students. This includes all students who are members of the University Honors Program in good standing. Honors classes are scheduled each semester and Honors students are required to participate in these special sections and need priority so as to enable their schedule to accommodate them. This priority is also recognized as a benefit for participation in this program. Veterans. Veterans and members of the military who are eligible for special priority registration need to meet the following requirements as defined in PA Act 46: a) The student has served, or is currently serving, in the United States Armed Forces, including a reserve component and National Guard. b) The student was discharged or released from such service under conditions other than dishonorable. c) The student has been admitted to Edinboro University. d) The student resides in Pennsylvania while enrolled at Edinboro University. Documentation verifying the above eligibility must be submitted to the Veterans Success Center for review at least one month before the start of the pre-registration date before the student’s starting semester. This will ensure processing for priority registration. Required documentation is defined as follows. Military Members currently serving on Active Duty Service (including Active Guard or Active Reserves): • A copy of the military orders which verify: ▪ Active duty military status or activation of reservist/guard member; and ▪ Work location/duty station; and • Copy of military identification card issued by the U.S. military. Military Members Discharged from Active Duty Service: • DD-214 Member 4 “Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty” Military Members currently serving in the National Guard or Reserve Component: • DD-214 Service 7 “Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty”; or • Copy of military identification card issued by the U.S. Military. Military Members who formerly served in the National Guard or Reserve Component: • DD-214 Member 4 “Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty”; or • DD-214 Service 7 “Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty”; or • NGB-22 “National Guard Report of Separation and Record of Service” Military members and veterans face unique obstacles that can often delay their pursuit of higher education. These obstacles may include involuntary mobilizations for overseas tours of duty, required military training, and disaster relief. In addition, these students often fund their university education through the use of earned federal and state benefits which expire after a limited amount of time. Further, long delays in processing these benefits often cause hardships for these students. The aim of granting priority registration to military members and veterans is to allow greater ability to make progress toward their degree requirements during their often intermittent periods of university study and to lessen the delay in receiving the benefits they have earned. The Pennsylvania Department of Education states that Act 46 of 2014 requires public institutions of higher education in Pennsylvania to provide veteran students, as defined in the Act, with preference in course scheduling. Non-compliance may be reported to the Pennsylvania Department of Education by submitting the Higher Education Student Complaint form found at www.education.state.pa.us. Adult Students registered with the Office of Transfer and Adult Student Services for priority registration. Many adult students must schedule their classes around other major life responsibilities such as children and employment. In order to take advantage of the early registration process, adult students must be registered and approved for priority registration through the Office of Transfer and Adult Student Services. Other officially recognized University groups and programs. Other student groups recognized for priority registration include student athletes, SGA members and University Senate representatives; music students enrolled in ensembles or applied lessons, students in theatre productions, scholars in residence hall living-learning communities, ROTC students on contract and the student member of the University Council of Trustees. Many students are asked to represent the University at, or regularly participate in, officially-recognized activities. These students often find that there is a conflict between these activities and their class schedules; priority registration allows these students some ability to reduce these conflicts. 44 | Academic Affairs Information ELIGIBILITY AND PROCESS FOR APPROVAL OF ADDITIONAL STUDENT GROUPS Other student groups or cohorts seeking priority registration status must have the program advisor or administrator submit a request to the Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs (VPAA) containing the following information: 1. Group or cohort designation 2. Reason for request 3. Evidence of need for priority registration Eligibility for priority registration will require that: 1. Participation or membership in the student group is clearly defined; and 2. The student group exhibits evidence that priority registration will have a positive impact on academic progress and help alleviate scheduling difficulties inherent in membership in the student group. The Provost reviews requests from groups seeking priority registration and such requests must be received by the Office of the Provost/VPAA by September 15 to be considered for priority registration for the next academic year. The Provost/VPAA will notify the Registrar of newly approved student groups for priority registration. The Registrar will then notify the appropriate department or program administrator to provide a list of students eligible for priority registration a minimum of one month prior to the start of the next term’s registration period. Documented student members will be eligible to register during the designated priority registration period. RELATED: Higher Education Course Scheduling Preference for Veteran Students Act (Act 46 of 2014) Independent Study Program The Independent Study Program aims to serve those students whose scholarly bent seems most clearly adapted to independent work. Students enrolled in the Honors Program are eligible for independent study participation. Other students are permitted to participate on the basis of recommendations from their faculty advisors and from instructors best acquainted with their abilities. Undergraduate students may not start an independent study experience before they have earned 64 credits. Application to enroll in an independent study project should be made on the appropriate form. It is available from the department chairperson and the Office of Records and Registration. The student is to consult with his/her advisor to determine the appropriateness of the student’s request for independent study. The advisor will initiate the approval process by signing the independent study application form. The completed application should then be circulated through the proper channels as indicated on the form. The approval of the dean in which the study is undertaken is required on the form before the study is undertaken. After approval for a specified number of credit hours, the student will register no later than the last day of registration for approved Independent Study course. Under the independent study program, the student’s achievement is evaluated by the Study Committee described above. This committee will review the quality of work submitted as a result of the student’s independent work in the studio, laboratory, library or in field investigation. Independent study may also cut across departmental lines; e.g., a semester of research on some phase of “Elizabethan England” might be evaluated jointly by members of the Art, English, History and Music departments, if the work submitted involves interrelated study related to each of these several disciplines. In such interdisciplinary cases, the committee would be composed of representatives from each department concerned. The grade will be determined by the supervising instructor in all cases. Auditing Undergraduate Courses 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. Edinboro University undergraduate students may audit undergraduate courses, and Edinboro University graduate students may audit undergraduate or graduate courses. Auditing involves participation in a course without accountability for credit purposes. Students must have the approval of their academic advisor and the instructors of the courses to be audited. An audited course will not be counted as part of the student’s academic load and no credit will be received. Audited courses will be recorded on student transcripts as “AU”. Students scheduling for audits will be given lowest priority for seat availability. After the expiration of the “add” period, students may not change audit status to credit or credit to audit. Students must pay the Bursar’s Office the established course credit tuition and fees for auditing courses. Students age 62 or older will receive full tuition and fee waiver for courses taken for audit only. The tuition and fee waiver does not apply to courses taken for college credit. Sundry charges, as defined in the catalog, will apply as appropriate. Students must work directly with the Registrar and are scheduled for classes one week prior to the start of the semester/term based upon seat availability. Petitions for credit by competency examinations will not be honored for courses audited by students. Undergraduate special and degree seeking students are permitted to audit 30 semester hours of credit. Graduate special and degree seeking students are permitted to audit a maximum of 9 semester hours of credit. Academic Passport The policy of the Board of Governors of the State System of Higher Education encourages the seamless transfer of students between accredited Pennsylvania community colleges and System universities and between and among System universities. To that end, community college and System students who meet the established eligibility criteria shall be granted an Academic Passport, which shall provide entry to a System university and, pursuant to the guidelines below, ensure the transfer and acceptance of course credits. The following sections outline the eligibility criteria for the Academic Passport and the procedures under which credits earned at one institution may be accepted by and applied to a degree program at the receiving institution. 1. Students Transferring with an Associate Degree Students are encouraged to complete an Associate of Arts (AA) or Associate of Science (AS) degree program prior to transfer. Students who earn the AA or AS degree in a transfer or college parallel program from an accredited public Pennsylvania community college and who apply in accordance with the established university time frame shall have an Academic Passport that provides entry into any university in the State System of Higher Education. System universities will recognize and honor the Academic Passport by admitting such students and shall, consistent with G.5 (Guiding Principles) apply credit towards graduation for all college parallel coursework completed for the associate degree. Up to a maximum of 45 general education credits and liberal arts course credits earned at the two-year college shall be used to meet lower division university general education requirements, even if the receiving university does not offer the specific course being transferred or has not designated that course as general education. A course by course match shall not be required. Academic Affairs Information | 45 Capacity limits and/or higher admissions standards may apply to certain high demand academic programs. Students transferring with an Associate of Arts or Associate of Science degree to a System university must have a 2.0 minimum cumulative grade point average (GPA) in all coursework presented for transfer from each institution attended. Associate of Arts and Associate of Science degrees recognized for the Academic Passport must contain, as a minimum, 30 hours of liberal arts among the following fields of study: Composition/ Communications, Humanities/Fine Art, Behavioral/ Social Sciences, Biological/Physical Sciences, and Mathematics and Computer Science. Vocational, technical, and career courses shall not be used to satisfy general education requirements. 2. Intra-System Transfer Incumbent System university students who have attained a GPA of 2.0 or higher in a minimum of 12 credit hours of college level coursework shall hold an Academic Passport enabling transfer to any other System university. System universities shall recognize and honor the Passport held by incumbent students who apply within the established university time frame by providing admission upon transfer and shall, consistent with G.5 (Guiding Principles), apply credit toward graduation for all college coursework completed at the sending university. Up to a maximum of 45 general education credits and/or liberal arts course credits earned at the sending university shall be used to meet lower division university general education requirements, even if the receiving university does not offer the specific course being transferred or has not designated that course as general education. A course by course match shall not be required. Capacity limits and/or higher admissions standards may apply to certain high demand academic programs. Instruction through Distance Learning: With the prior approval of the student’s home institution, System students holding the Academic Passport shall be entitled to take any course offered through distance learning and listed in the catalogue at any other System university and have those credits and the grade earned accepted by their home institution. The home institution retains the right to determine the application of such credits toward the satisfaction of specific degree or major requirements. 3. Students Transferring Without the Academic Passport Pennsylvania community college students who have not completed the AS or AA degree may also apply to and be accepted for admission to a System university. To facilitate the transfer of students with a minimum of 12 credit hours of college level coursework, up to a maximum of 45 credits in courses which have been designated and credited as general education by an accredited Pennsylvania community college shall be used to meet lower division university general education requirements, even if the receiving university does not offer the specific course being transferred or has not designated that course as general education. Students seeking to transfer course credits without the completed AS or AA degree must have a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0 or greater in all coursework presented for transfer for each institution attended. Transfer Students and Advanced Standing A student who has attended other institutions of collegiate rank and who wishes to enter Edinboro University will be expected to meet the following requirements: 1. 2. 3. Meet the regular admissions requirements. Have on file an official transcript of the work done in all institutions attended, together with the documents listed in Admissions Procedure. The transcripts must indicate satisfactory achievement and show honorable withdrawal. Official transcripts from other colleges and universities submitted for evaluation of transfer credit must be received directly from the institution. Transcripts that are marked “issued to student” or received from the student in sealed envelopes are not official and cannot be accepted. Complete at least one semester’s work of satisfactory quality at Edinboro University before being assigned to student teaching. This requirement will be enforced even though students, at entrance, have completed all of the work except student teaching. No student may be assigned student teaching without having the semester hours required in his/her first field of specialization and without having taken professional courses required for certification. Transfer credit completed by correspondence is accepted from regionally accredited institutions of higher education up to a maximum of 30 semester hours. Transfer credit is also awarded for coursework completed by correspondence for members of the Armed Forces of the United States enrolled in an approved Department of Defense program. Transfer credit is not awarded for the completion of nonacademic credits such as Continuing Education Units (CEUs). Credit to meet the degree requirements for a particular program will not be given for: 1) courses which are not equivalent to those required or approved in the curricula offered in this university; 2) courses completed at other colleges or universities in which grades below C- were earned. Academic deans may allow free elective credit to be awarded for valid academic courses for which the University has no equivalent. Courses from accredited institutions which are designated as transferable may or may not be counted as part of the requirements for graduation. All credits of students who apply for admission with advanced standing must be approved by the dean of the school in which they will be majoring. Two Year Transfer (2 + 2 Agreements) Edinboro University has transfer agreements called articulation agreements with a number of community colleges in Pennsylvania. These agreements permit a student with an associate degree designed on the basis of a baccalaureate parallel program to enter Edinboro as a junior and complete the baccalaureate in approximately two additional years. While students can often transfer most courses from a community college without pursuing a parallel program, they cannot be assured that the courses they have taken will fit the bachelor’s program they wish to complete. In addition, students who enter Edinboro under an articulation agreement will receive the privileges of students who began at Edinboro as freshmen. Successful transfer arrangements depend on proper choice of courses at the community college. The University, therefore, maintains close contact with the transfer counselors of community colleges with which Edinboro has agreements. Students who wish to attend a community college and then transfer, either before or after completing an associate degree, are urged to work closely with the transfer counselor, choose their bachelor’s degree program as soon as possible, and be careful to follow an approved parallel program. 46 | Academic Affairs Information Credits for Armed Forces Education and Veterans’ Education Benefits 1. 2. 3. Inquiries concerning the granting of credit for work completed in the Armed Forces should be directed to the Admissions Office as soon after completion of the experience as possible. University credit may be granted for work completed in formal service schools and training programs on the basis of the recommendations of the American Council on Education as published in the “Guide to the Evaluation of Experience in the Armed Forces.” Presentation of documentation certifying honorable discharge (member 4 copy of the DD214) may result in the award of three credits of health and physical education. Edinboro University is an institutional member of the Service members Opportunity College (SOC) and fully supports the organization’s principles and criteria for providing educational opportunities to military service members. Edinboro University also participates in the Concurrent Admissions Program (ConAP) in cooperation with the United States Army. The Veteran’s Success Center is prepared to assist all veterans with their questions and to file for the various education benefits to which they are entitled. Edinboro University of Pennsylvania continues to meet all of the criteria for approval for Veterans’ Education under the provisions of Title 38, United States Code, Section3675. Join ROTC and the Guard or Reserve While in College You may be able to take advantage of a program that allows you to participate in ROTC and enlist in the Army National Guard or Army Reserve at the same time, provided a vacancy exists in either a Guard or Reserve unit. It’s called the Simultaneous Membership Program (SMP). If you take advantage of this program, you’ll serve as an officer in a Guard or Reserve unit and perform duties commensurate with the grade of second lieutenant. And once you are graduated and commissioned, you may continue your military service with your unit or apply for active duty in the US Army. What’s more, while you’re in college you can be gaining valuable experience and earning extra income. SMPs are paid at the rate of at least a Sergeant E-5 for your Guard or Reserve service, and you’ll receive an allowance for the ROTC advanced course as well. Contact the Military Science Department for more information on veteran opportunities. Earning Course Credit by Examination or Evaluation Accelerated Means of Earning Credits Intent It is the intent of this policy to authorize alternative methods of earning academic credit at Edinboro University. Policy Edinboro University of Pennsylvania offers specific programs to assess student requests for undergraduate credits to reflect learning acquired in a non-traditional manner. Specifically, the University offers the following options: College-Level Examination Program (CLEP), College Entrance Examination Board – Advanced Placement (AP), Competency Examination Credit (internal), and Life Experience Credit (internal). Only students who are pursuing a degree or certification at Edinboro University are eligible for credit by examination or evaluation. It is important that credit awards for prior learning be determined early in a student’s career so that the subsequent course of instruction, planned with the academic advisor, can build around or upon them. Applicability of credit to satisfy major and related requirements is at the discretion of the dean in consultation with department faculty in the student’s major and/or minor. No more than 45 semester hours of credit may be earned under this policy; no more than 30 hours may be earned under any single program listed in this policy. Prior to administration of any of the above-noted examinations, students will be expected to pay appropriate fees to the University. Procedures College-Level Examination Program (CLEP) Within certain limits, Edinboro University accepts credits toward graduation earned through CLEP. There are four accepted General Examinations: Humanities, Mathematics, Natural Sciences, and Social Sciences and History. . Students scoring at or above the score recommended by the American Council on Education will be awarded credits in the appropriate achievement area. Subject Examinations are offered in the areas of literature, foreign languages, history and social sciences, science and mathematics, and business. Each Subject Examination covers material usually taught in an undergraduate course with a similar title at most colleges and universities. Students scoring at or above the score recommended by the American Council on Education will normally be granted the number of credits equivalent to those allowed for a comparable course taught at Edinboro University. For a list of course equivalencies for approved CLEP exams, contact the Academic Success Center. If a student has taken college courses in the area(s) of achievement, duplicate credit will not be awarded. All students may take CLEP tests if eligibility requirements are met. College Entrance Examination Board Advanced Placement (AP) A student who has received a score of 3, 4, or 5 on a College Entrance Examination Board (CEEB) advanced placement test can expect that credit will be granted upon submission of test scores to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions. Normally students earning scores of 3, 4, or 5 will receive a minimum of three semester hours credit. Competency Examination Credit Edinboro University students may challenge for undergraduate credit by competency examination for courses offered by the University. If students wish to challenge a course in which they are enrolled, they must do it prior to the end of the “drop” period. Students may not challenge courses in which they have previously received a grade. Students may not challenge courses in which they have received an audit. A student need not enroll in a course to challenge it. To challenge for credit, a student must complete the request form and present it to the chairperson of the department offering the course being challenged. (The relevant academic dean in consultation with the faculty reserves the right to deny students permission to take examinations for credit.) Courses passed by examination are credited to the student’s academic record. Successfully challenged course(s) are not considered a part of the course load for full-time students during the academic year. The examination for any challenged course will be administered to the student only one time. Should the student fail the competency exam, the record of the challenge will be filed in the student’s academic file. Academic Affairs Information | 47 b. Prior to the administration of any competency examination, students will be expected to receive all approvals and pay a fee established by the University. Life Experience Credit Life experience is defined as learning experiences students have had as part of their employment or daily life, which equate with learning experiences otherwise achieved as part of coursework at Edinboro University. It is the policy of Edinboro University of Pennsylvania to award credit for life experience in those cases deemed appropriate by faculty evaluation and administrative review. Life experience credit may not be used in lieu of internship credit. Life experience credit procedures are administered by the Office of Transfer and Adult Student Services. Responsibility for the award of credit rests with the dean of the school in which the student has applied for credit. Students who are interested in exploring life experience credit should contact the Office of Adult Student Services. If appropriate, the student submits an application and prepares a detailed portfolio describing the experience for which credit is being requested. The office reviews the completed portfolio and sends it to the appropriate department chair. The chair directs the material to appropriate faculty for evaluation. Faculty members recommend specific credit, if any, to the dean. The dean reviews the material and the recommendations of faculty, approving or adjusting the amount of credit or courses for award, and returns the material to the Office of Transfer and Adult Student Services. The office informs the student of the life experience credit decision and ensures administrative procedures for financial and credit award transactions. If the student wishes to appeal, the office will act as the mediator between the student and other University offices. If further evaluation is deemed advisable, there will be no further cost to the student, as long as the evaluation takes place in the same field as the original evaluation. 3. Courses taken for a satisfactory/unsatisfactory grade or courses being repeated are not included in Dean’s List calculations, nor do they count toward the 12 credits needed for meeting the requirements of 2.a. If I or R grades are changed prior to the deadline outlined in the University Catalog, students will then be identified as Dean’s List candidates, provided they meet all other qualifications for Dean’s List recognition, above. University Academic Honors Convocation The University Academic Honors Convocation is held annually during the spring semester to recognize student academic achievement. Honorees include individuals who will graduate with academic honors at the May Commencement ceremony, students completing the Edinboro University Honors Program, Departmental Honors Award recipients, and members of academic honor societies. Honors at Graduation The University grants honors recognition at its Commencement ceremonies, the annual University Academic Honors Convocation, and on diplomas and official transcripts to those individuals who have been awarded the baccalaureate degree and have achieved excellence. The University does not grant honors for work toward the associate or master’s degree. The determination of honors at the Commencement ceremonies and the University Academic Honors Convocation is based upon a student’s academic record at the conclusion of the previous semester or summer or winter session, since these events are held prior to issuance of final grades for the semester in which they are held. The determination of honors for posting on diplomas and transcripts will be based upon a student’s complete academic record, including final grades issued for the semester in which the Commencement ceremony is held. 1. To be eligible for honors recognition at graduation, a student must have attempted and earned at least 45 semester hours of credit upon graduation from Edinboro University of Pennsylvania and have earned a cumulative grade point average (GPA) of at least 3.40 (4.00 scale) for all credits graded on the A through F scale earned at Edinboro University. 2. An Edinboro University student who has earned his/her first baccalaureate degree at Edinboro University and who is awarded a second baccalaureate degree at Edinboro University will be eligible for honors recognition if the earned cumulative GPA is at least 3.40 (4.00 scale) for all credits graded on the A through F scale and earned at Edinboro University. Undergraduate degree students who achieve high academic standards will be identified by placement on the Dean’s List. 3. The University does not consider grades of S (satisfactory) or AU (audit) in the determination of the cumulative GPA. 1. 4. Credit earned through the following mechanisms are not used in the calculation of the cumulative GPA: transfer credit, competency examination satisfactorily completed, life experience, military service experiences, and CLEP examinations. 5. This procedure applies to all students, i.e.: indigenous students, external transfer students, students who earn their first baccalaureate degree at an institution other than Edinboro University and students seeking their second or multiple baccalaureate degree from Edinboro University. When the processes of evaluating and awarding of credit are complete, the Office of Transfer and Adult Student Services will post any credits to the student’s transcript and any fees to the student’s student account. Academic Recognition and Honors Dean’s List 2. Undergraduate degree students who earn at least twelve semester hours of credit (exclusive of courses taken for a satisfactory or unsatisfactory grade or courses being repeated) during an academic semester or summer session and who earn a quality point average of 3.40 or better for the semester or session are identified for that semester/session as Dean’s List students providing no grade of D+, D, D-, F, I, or R is earned. Undergraduate students who earn less than twelve semester hours of credit during a given academic semester or winter/summer session may be eligible for the part-time Dean’s List under the following conditions: a. Successful completion of twelve consecutive semester hours in a part-time student status since last being recognized on either the Dean’s List or part-time Dean’s List with a quality point average of 3.40 or better, with no grades of D+, D, D-, F, I, or R. Students meeting the qualifications for honors at graduation receive Cum Laude recognition if their cumulative GPA is between 3.40 and 3.59, Magna Cum Laude if their cumulative GPA is between 3.60 and 3.79, or Summa Cum Laude if their cumulative GPA is between 3.80 and 4.00. 48 | Academic Affairs Information Associate Degree Students: To be eligible for recognition, an associate degree student must have attempted and earned at least 15 of their last 30 credits at Edinboro University. The determination for the “Associate Degree with Distinction” designation will be based upon a student’s academic record at the conclusion of the semester (or summer or winter session) prior to graduation. The minimum cumulative GPA required to receive this recognition will be a 3.40 and must be based on a minimum of 15 credits earned at Edinboro University. Credit earned through the following mechanisms are not used in the calculation of the cumulative GPA: transfer credit, competency examination satisfactorily completed, life experience, military service experiences, and CLEP examinations. Students receiving the designation of “Associate Degree with Distinction” will be invited to attend the Academic Honors Convocation if a May graduate. Any student meeting this requirement will receive a pin to be worn on their gown at the Commencement ceremony and will be recognized in the Commencement booklet. This recognition is not included on the student’s diploma or official transcript. RELATED POLICIES: SA-047 Graduation Residency Requirements, PASSHE, BOG System Academic and Financial Procedures Graduation Review and Commencement INTENT The intent of this policy is to establish academically sound grade and residency (enrollment) requirements for graduation from Edinboro University. POLICY In order to be eligible for graduation in a baccalaureate degree program, students must: 1. Complete a minimum of 120 semester hours with a C average (2.0 grade point average) or as specified by degree program requirements. 2. Demonstrate competency as defined for the major degree program. 3. Complete at least 30 of their last 60 credits in courses scheduled by the University. 4. Complete a minimum of 42 semester hours of upper level courses. In order to be eligible for graduation in an associate degree program, students must: 1. Complete a minimum of 60 semester hours with a C average (2.0 grade point average) or as specified by degree program requirements. 2. Demonstrate competency as defined for the major degree program. 3. Complete at least 15 of their last 30 credits in courses scheduled by the University. Student completing an undergraduate certificate program must: 1. Take at least 50% of the credits required for the certificate in courses from a State System University with a C average (2.0 grade point average) or as specified by the certificate requirements. In order to be eligible for graduation with an undergraduate minor program, students must: 1. Take at least 50% of the credits required for the minor in courses from a State System University. Undergraduate Active-Duty Service Members: As a military friendly institution, the following apply: • For active-duty service members, the academic residency requirements will not exceed 25 percent of the undergraduate degree program. If the undergraduate degree is available 100 percent online, the academic residency requirements will not exceed 30 percent of the undergraduate degree program. • For active-duty service members, the academic residency requirements may not include a “final year” or “final semester” requirement. The residency requirement of 30 of the last 60 credits will be waived. This waiver may remain in effect for 1 year following discharge from active duty. • If the student were able to complete the last credits and courses through another State System University via distance education, and transfer them back to Edinboro University, the program and 120 credit requirements would have been met but not the residency. Waiving the residency requirement ensures the student is not disadvantaged due to their service. In addition, each program is expected to confirm with its respective accrediting agencies the allowable flexibility in order to meet the needs of active-duty service members. OTHER INFORMATION Undergraduate degree candidates desiring to pursue any part of their approved program of studies for the degree at another institution should refer to policy A019. Graduating students must complete an online graduation application by the specified date of the regular (fall or spring) semester, or by the established deadline for summer graduation. Any student applying for graduation must complete all requirements including I and R grades, within two weeks after the graduation date. If all requirements are not completed within the two-week period, the student must submit a new graduation application when the degree requirements have been met.

ACADEMIC AFFAIRS CURRICULA AND ORGANIZATION 56 | Academic Affairs Curricula and Organization CURRICULA AND ORGANIZATION Introduction The Academic Affairs division of Edinboro University provides undergraduate degree programming through The College of Arts and Sciences, the School of Business, and the School of Education. The departments and instructional programs of the University are organized within these schools and are so listed herein. Graduate programming is provided and administered through these schools. Information on graduate standards, procedures and programming is provided in a separate graduate catalogue available through the Office of Graduate Studies. General Education/Liberal Education Curriculum General Education is the part of the undergraduate experience that crosses all boundaries. It is that which unifies otherwise distinct and often rival factions within the institution. As such, General Education is concerned with addressing a number of issues that have become increasingly troublesome in recent years. First is the general deterioration of students’ basic skills. These include the ability to read with understanding in broad areas of knowledge, to write effectively on a variety of subjects, and to be sufficiently adept at mathematics to develop and follow lines of argument containing mathematical content. In addition to the basic skills, General Education is concerned with ensuring that students should acquire not only a certain breadth in what are traditionally called the liberal arts, but also some depth outside their major. Along with, and in support of, these general thoughts, the following specific goals for a General Education program have been developed: All students earning an undergraduate degree at Edinboro University must complete General Education requirements as outlined below. It is especially important for students to understand these General Education requirements and their relationship to the courses required in academic majors or required as related courses. It is critical that students work closely with advisors to ensure that courses selected for general education appropriately match other degree requirements. The General Education component of the undergraduate curriculum is the unique contribution to the education of its students by an institution. General Education at Edinboro University is truly a Liberal Education that is imbued with the principles of LEAP, Liberal Education America’s Promise. For many years, General Education has really incorporated many of the attributes of the LEAP model through its emphasis on writing, critical thinking, analysis, and assessment. Beginning in 2011-2012, the institution has been working to rethink and refocus its approach to a Liberal Education by more fully adopting LEAP. Liberal Education combines the fundamentals provided in a General Education curriculum while connecting to the major. Learners, including faculty, staff, and students, must recognize that a Liberal Education experience is the whole experience of the university including General Education, the major, extracurricular, and co-curricular. LEAP Promotes: • Essential learning outcomes—as a guiding vision and national benchmarks for college learning and liberal education in the 21st century • High-Impact educational practices—that help students • Authentic Assessments—probing whether students can apply achieve essential learning outcomes • their learning to complex problems and real-world challenges Inclusive Excellence—to ensure that every student gets the benefits of an engaged and practical liberal education. (www. aacu.org/leap/vision.cfm) Creating a Culture of Assessment Like their public school counterparts a century ago, today’s colleges and universities are under increasing pressure to provide practical knowledge and vocational skills. In part, this is in response to increased credentialing requirements for many fields as well as the continual transitions of disciplines and careers emerging in our modern economy. As a result, “Higher education is coming under scrutiny as students and others examine practices, policies, missions, and outcomes.”1 A direct result of this increased scrutiny and the shift from “traditional” arts and sciences programs to more “practical arts” programs is an increased emphasis on curricular assessment. The Association of American Colleges and Universities responds to this need in its statement on General Education: A quality general education is an essential part of every undergraduate student’s experience and should reflect an institution’s core academic commitments. In the ideal, general education outcomes are achieved through a coherent sequence of dynamic learning experiences, in general courses and in students’ majors, and through curriculumembedded assessments tied to important educational goals. In the ideal, general education is everyone’s shared concern.2 Reflective of educational changes and competition for student populations, colleges and universities have begun to restructure their curricula. Perhaps the best evidence of this trend is the consensus among regional accrediting bodies that higher education needs to place greater emphasis upon assessment. As part of this restructuring process, many institutions are attempting to embed an assessment component into their curricular process as an initial step toward meeting the growing demands for accountability and establishment of a culture of assessment. With this in mind, after the Middle States visit in 2003, Edinboro University of Pennsylvania set about to assess its General Education curriculum. The model which emerged reflects recommendations generated from assessment data collected over a seven-year period. The process which included collaboration, dialogue, and cooperation among faculty and disciplines recognizes that courses and educational objectives are not static and that curricula and institutions need to change in order to better meet the emergent needs and expectations of students and society. It also represents a significant first step toward creating an ongoing, systematic culture of assessment on this campus. Indeed such curriculum-embedded assessment fully engages faculty and leadership as they gather data about student progress and make informed recommendations accordingly for academic change. Additionally, the mission of an institution and its general education curriculum must be complementary. The mission of Edinboro University of Pennsylvania adopted in 2009 encourages educational coherence and broad exposure for its life-long learners: Edinboro University: A community where intellectual engagement and opportunity challenge and empower individuals. We are inspired to serve and lead as active citizens of our global society through collaborative learning experiences emphasizing campus activities, community outreach, and practical applications. These factors combine to ignite the excitement of discovery and create a thirst for life-long learning and a pursuit of excellence. Academic Affairs Curricula and Organization | 57 Incorporating the University’s mission and representing an important first step to creating a culture of assessment, the General Education curriculum at Edinboro University of Pennsylvania provides evidence of what AAC&U (Association of American Colleges and Universities) considers the principles for effective General Education programs: • Response to the need for General Education • Inclusion of the institutional mission • Engagement of faculty and administration in academic coherence, dialogue, assessment, and self-reflection • Attention to broad range of student experiences that include social responsibility and co-curricular opportunities General Education Requirements for Baccalaureate Degrees A. Changes which appear in Edinboro University’s new General Education model include: • The incorporation of specific objectives for computer competency courses; • A recognition of the need for a stronger information component as well as of discipline-specific writing and research needs as evidenced in the revised research/writing skills’ requirement; 1. Changes to various Core area objectives; • A requirement for a lab component for all Core 7 courses; • Expectations for more clearly articulated ways in which General Education objectives are being addressed in Core and Distribution courses. By continuing to monitor the General Education curriculum and making subsequent academic changes, Edinboro University recognizes emergent needs and expectations in the societal shift from the “Industrial Age” to the so-called “Information Age” or the “Knowledge Society.” It also reflects an awareness of the paradigm shift from “teaching” to “learning” and the desire to foster student success in the classroom and beyond.

Conti, Kevin E. Courtright, Elvage G. Murphy, George E. Richards II, Delbert L. Rounds Jr., The Department of Criminal Justice, Anthropology, and Forensic Studies offers the following degree programs: BA in Criminal Justice; BA in Anthropology, BA in Anthropology – Forensic Anthropology ; and AA in Criminal Justice. Prospective students are encouraged to visit the Department of Criminal Justice, Anthropology, and Forensic Studies website for more information on all aspects of the programs, including extracurricular activities, internship opportunities, job and graduate school placement, and faculty profiles. THE ANTHROPOLOGY PROGRAM Of all the academic disciplines that study people and their activities, anthropology is the only one that studies people in all their aspects: physical, social, and cultural. Anthropologists ask the question: What does it mean to be human? Anthropologists examine human biology and behavior in natural settings across time and space. They trace human physical and cultural evolution from primate beginnings to the present. Anthropologists explore the diversity of modern biological and cultural adaptations in order to understand the ways in which different peoples respond to their environment. They can use their knowledge of human diversity to aid the medical and legal community in the identification of human remains and the solving of crimes. Graduates of the Bachelor of Arts in Anthropology will be able to: • Develop and demonstrate basic knowledge and understanding of key concepts associated with the subfields of archaeology, physical anthropology, and cultural anthropology. • Demonstrate an understanding of the culture concept and of related concepts, including cultural relativism and holism. • Develop knowledge of and demonstrate understanding of the scientific method as well as research, analytic, and interpretive methods used in anthropology. • Demonstrate the ability to make informed and ethical decisions pertaining to matters of human diversity and cultural and biological/genetic property. • Develop and demonstrate written and oral communication skills. Graduates of the Bachelor of Arts Anthropology – Forensic Anthropology will be able to: • Develop and demonstrate basic knowledge and understanding of key concepts associated with the subfields of archaeology, physical anthropology, and cultural anthropology. • Develop in-depth knowledge and understanding of the field of forensic anthropology. • Understand the role of forensic anthropology in the medical and legal community. • Demonstrate an understanding of the culture concept and of related concepts, including cultural relativism and holism. • Develop knowledge of and demonstrate understanding of the scientific method as well as research, analytic, and interpretive methods used in forensic anthropology. • Demonstrate the ability to make informed and ethical decisions pertaining to matters of human diversity and cultural and biological/genetic property. Develop and demonstrate written and oral communication skills. • _______________________________________________________ Anthropology prepares students for excellent jobs and opens doors to various career paths. Studying anthropology provides a global perspective and helps hone the critical thinking skills needed for success in the 21st century. With a Bachelor of Arts in Anthropology, students may pursue many different career directions including museums, the forensic sciences, business, research, teaching, advocacy, and public service. THE BACHELOR OF ARTS IN ANTHROPOLOGY Students in the BA Anthropology will choose between the Bachelor of Arts Anthropology or the Bachelor of Arts Anthropology – Forensic Anthropology. All Anthropology majors take courses in the disciplines of archaeology, cultural anthropology, and physical anthropology but take different upper level and advanced anthropology courses depending on their degree choice. In the Bachelor of Arts Anthropology, students can tailor their individual programs to focus on a specific subdiscipline of anthropology or take a variety of courses across the subdisciplines. In the Bachelor of Arts Anthropology – Forensic Anthropology, students will take Introduction to Forensic Science as well as 15 anthropology electives credits from those courses with a focus in various aspects of forensic anthropology. Independent study and internship experiences are encouraged in both degree options. Bachelor of Arts Degree Anthropology I. II. General Education Requirements 42 sem. hrs.

Education for the criminal justice field requires analysis of the criminal justice system from multi-disciplinary perspectives—criminological, ethical, historical, legal, political, sociological, etc. Students greatly benefit from practical training in techniques for preventing crime, investigating crime, and dealing with persons in the correctional system. Direct exposure to the field through a substantive internship rounds out a student’s training and prepares the student for a transition to a successful career in criminal justice. Students at Edinboro may earn a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) degree and/or an Associate of Arts (A.A.) degree in Criminal Justice.

Students receive comprehensive exposure to the various components of the criminal justice system. Students also receive training in specific criminal justice topics. Criminal justice courses at Edinboro University increase a student’s knowledge, analytical and communication skills, and employability. What is the difference between the Associate’s degree program and the Bachelor’s degree program in Criminal Justice? Compared to the Bachelor of Arts degree in Criminal Justice, the Associate’s degree requires fewer general education courses, fewer free electives, and fewer courses in the major. The difference, therefore, is one of depth of knowledge.Persons with an interest in criminal justice can contact the Department of Criminal Justice, Anthropology, and Forensic Studies to talk to a professor about the comparative benefits of an Associate’s versus Bachelor’s degree from Edinboro University. Many students who earn their Associate’s degree in Criminal Justice decide to pursue the Bachelor’s degree as well, either immediately or after working in the field for a time. The Associate’s degree program is designed to allow for an easy transition into the Bachelor’s degree program: All of a student’s coursework for the Associate’s degree counts toward the Bachelor’s degree. Furthermore, the Department of Criminal Justice, Anthropology, and Forensic Studies at Edinboro University offers many of its Criminal Justice course online, which makes it easier for Associate’s degree students to complete the Bachelor’s degree requirements while pursuing a career in the field.

It equips students with the education necessary to excel in some of the most interesting and emergent career fields of the 21st Century. Faculty in this department teach such courses as Digital History, Methods of Political Analysis, Seminar in Political Science, Turbulent Sixties, The Holocaust, Video Games, American Elections, International Relations,African American History, The History of Hip Hop and Languages and Freshmen Year Experience. These courses taught by the department provide students with a variety of class experiences. The world is rapidly changing through politics, social issues and technology, and studying history, political science, or culture, or learning a second language is more than just learning about the past. Students will acquire a broad understanding of where we have come from so you can understand today’s world and the world of tomorrow. While the department does prepare a number of its students for advanced degree programs and academic careers, its greater mission is to prepare them for any career or life goal that requires responsible citizenship, critical thinking, and familiarity with digital technology as bases for effective action. The Department of History, Politics, Languages and Cultures offers various undergraduate degree programs. Students enrolled in Languages courses will be placed by the department according to their background and proficiency in the foreign language. THE HISTORY PROGRAM History students examine events that shaped the lives of earlier generations and created the world in which they live. Our courses teach students to think analytically, apply scientific methodology, articulate and communicate their thoughts, to use knowledge in ways that empower and improve the circumstances of their lives. Moreover, History courses promote an appreciation of cultural and human diversity and recognizes the common humanity on which such diversity is based, and ultimately, to have a heightened sense of who they are and who they can be to promote students’ knowledge, curiosity, and empathetic understanding about peoples, cultures, and languages across time and space. “The Classroom Without Walls” offers students many unique and innovative ways to learn about the past. The department offers a range of courses from traditional courses inside the classrooms of Hendricks Hall to semester class trips and club trips during the semester, we also offer annual Summer Road Courses to sites across the country, East to West, North to South. These challenging and invigorating courses have become the trademark of the department and have given Edinboro University students the opportunity to expand their horizons beyond the four walls of our campus classrooms. In addition to travel courses, the department also has offered Study Abroad programs to Ireland, Poland, and Mexico, and has recently approved a study abroad program to Cuba. In addition, students who graduate with a degree in our program may be eligible to apply to teach in China for a semester or a year. We are committed to teaching and exposing students to “living history and experiencing culture and language.” Students in history are provided with the analytical tools most important for career advancement, the abilities to read and write at a high level and to organize their thoughts and actions, and the ability to see themselves and their situation in perspective. In a world in which communication skills, the need to “see the big picture,” and sensitivity to cultural differences are increasingly important, training in history provides students with the requisite tools. The History program prepares students to engage in research, analysis, and critical thinking which prepares them for to be competitive in a wide range of career options. Graduates of the Bachelor of Arts in History-Comprehensive will be able to: • Recognize and define a problem, gather and synthesize data conduct research on a topic using primary and secondary sources, resulting in a scholarly written work with substantive evidence and documentation • Understand general historical terminology, identify the general principles of the different schools of historical thought, and apply the professional standards of the historical discipline. • demonstrate a broad knowledge of U.S. history • Demonstrate a broad knowledge of world history • Demonstrate a more specific content knowledge on particular historical themes or subjects The B.A. degree may lead to graduate study in history or the study of law. Some history majors will choose to add education to their programs and teach at the elementary or secondary level. However, the mass media-journalism, radio and television; for-profit and non-profit research organizations, and many businesses employ persons who use the kind of method and research skills which are commonly taught in nearly every history class. Most importantly, history, while grounded in a tradition of scholarship and rational thought, helps students to remain intellectually flexible, preparing them to face the challenges of the “real” world and its rapid changes. What can a history major do besides teach? If one aspires to be a lawyer, an undergraduate major in history with related courses will provide the necessary background for law school. In the fields of mass media – journalism, radio and television – there are positions which require training in historical methodology and research. A combined art and history major with some graduate work can open the door as curator or archivist. In order to help students achieve this, students may focus on Public and Applied History. If one wants to go on to Seminary, history is the logical major. History combined with some training in another area can also open up some interesting possibilities, for instance, business and economics – business and industry recruit Liberal Arts graduates for a variety of positions that do not require extended training in business. Then there is the biggest employer of all, the government – federal, state and municipal. There are many positions at all levels, which require no particular undergraduate specialty. “The study of history is more than mere memorization of dates! It is about people and their social, economic, political and cultural experiences. The study of history teaches us to learn from the past, improve the present, and prepare for the future. Students will find that historical study gives them the appropriate skills and broad base of knowledge to prepare for jobs in a variety of professions. Students of history learn to organize, analyze, and communicate effectively. They come to realize the complexity which characterized the past is the same in the present. To not know one’s history is to have “historical amnesia.” Study and Learn History – Prepare For Tomorrow!” Students in the B.A. in History programs will choose among several concentrations including Comprehensive, Digital, or Military History. All History majors will take the same methods and foundations courses but will take different upper level and advanced History courses depending on their Concentration choice. Students who choose the Comprehensive concentration may take a broad range of courses in the History Content area OR they may choose to concentrate in specific areas of History.

Students develop skills in critical thinking, research, and oral and written communication. In class and through an optional internship experience, students learn to use their knowledge and developed skills to address real life problems in politics and policy and are prepared to serve in roles of responsibility in the community. Political Science students are prepared to work in almost any field, but are especially suited for exciting and rewarding careers in government, political advocacy, non-governmental organizations, and law. Looking at the curriculum, political science majors take courses that expose them to the major fields of contemporary politics: comparative politics, American politics, international relations, political theory, and methods of political analysis. Students further take several upperlevel electives in politics tailored to their specific interests and develop skills in statistical analysis and in a foreign language. Finally, students are given the option of earning academic credit toward their major by participating in a politics- or law-related internship. Students must earn a C or better in all courses that count toward the political science major. I. General Education Requirements 42 sem. hrs.

Edinboro University provides students of any major with excellent resources for preparing for graduate-level education in law and, ultimately, the practice of law. Pre-law students at Edinboro can pursue their interest in law in different ways. . Students interested in literature and/or creative writing can pursue a bachelor’s degree in English with a pre-law concentration. More broadly,, students who want to attend law school but are not specifically interested in politics or literature or creative writing can pursue any major they choose while taking pre-law courses and participating in pre-law program-related activities on campus. Edinboro’s pre-law advising program, following the recommendations of the Law School Admission Council (LSAC) and the American Bar Association (ABA), is guided by the following principles: 1. An undergraduate education should serve as a preparation for law school, not a substitute for it. Students are best prepared for law school when they take some, but not too many, pre-law courses, instead focusing the bulk of their coursework on a wide range of non-law courses. A student’s non-law courses (in history, philosophy, politics, economics, psychology, literature, creative writing, and other subjects) should give a student a broad base of knowledge and superior analytical and communications skills. 2. Students interested in law should be prepared both for law and for an alternative career, in case they decide that the practice of law is not for them and/or they decide to work for a while before attending law school. As a result, Edinboro University does not have a pre-law major or degree. Instead, it offers a B.A. in political science with a concentration in legal studies, a B.A. in English with a pre-law concentration, and a series of pre-law courses and law-related activities for students of all majors. In this way, students can pursue their interest in law without focusing on it to the exclusion of other worthy pursuits. Recommended courses for all pre-law students Edinboro University offers several law-related courses. The following constitute the ‘core’ pre-law courses that all students seriously considering law school are encouraged to take: POLI343 Law and Legal Systems POLI463 Civil Liberties POLI469 Criminal Procedure and Evidence BUAD260 Business Law I The following is an additional, partial list of law-related courses that are offered on a regular basis. Pre-law students should take some but not too many law-related courses; a student’s undergraduate education is a preparation for law school, not law school itself: POLI465 Constitutional Law POLI550 International Law POLI560 Jurisprudence BUAD360 Business Law II BAUD410 Legal Environment of International Business COMM360 Freedom of Speech PSYC355 Psychology and Law CRIM265 Introduction to Courts, Criminal Law, and Criminal Procedure CRIM462 Pennsylvania Crimes Code Academic Affairs Curricula and Organization | 87 Finally, the following courses are particularly effective in developing skills and knowledge that are important for law students and lawyers. Students are encouraged to take as many of these courses as possible, regardless of major: POLI100 Introduction to Politics POLI101 Intro to American Politics POLI102 Introduction to Comparative Politics POLI103 Introduction to Global Politics POLI370 Political Thought I POLI372 Political Thought II HIST101 World Civilizations I HIST102 World Civilizations II HIST261 History of U.S. I HIST262 History of U.S. II ECON220 Microeconomics ECON225 Macroeconomics STAT260 Elements of Statistics PSYC101 Introduction to Psychology ANTH180 Introduction to Anthropology PHIL200 Introduction to Philosophy and Values PHIL240 Introduction to Contemporary Moral Issues SOC100 Introduction to Sociology A course in research methods (any discipline) _______________________________________________________ Music and Theatre Department _______________________________________________________ FACULTY: Daniel Burdick, Gary Grant MISSION STATEMENT The Music and Theatre Department’s mission is to promote the art of music in the cultural, artistic, and intellectual life of the University and the surrounding communities.

The program prepares adult learners with critical sociological imaginations, strong technical skills, and the professional competencies necessary for graduate education as well employment in a variety of local, regional and federal agencies, non-profit organizations and for-profit enterprises. Above all, the program prepares students to transcend the boundaries of their formal education and engage the challenges of 21st Century employment as well as public and private life. Recent majors in the department’s degree programs have had considerable success in being admitted to graduate schools. Recent graduates have been admitted to the University of Chicago, University of Vermont, Ohio State, Penn State, the University of Pittsburgh, Duquesne University, and Case-Western Reserve University. Moreover, recent graduates currently enjoy employment in a diverse array of professional settings as Research Analysts, Program Managers, Field Directors, Benefits Managers, Independent Living Specialists, Marketing Assistants, Customer Service Representatives, Human Resource Coordinators, and Veterans Affairs Co coordinators to name a few. _______________________________________________________ Associate of Arts Degree Human Services-Social Services Many health and human service agencies desire individuals who have less than a baccalaureate degree but yet are sophisticated enough to be effective human service professionals. There are several areas these two-year trained individuals could serve. This program is concerned with preparation of individuals as mental health workers/psychiatric aides, social service providers, developmental disability specialists, paraeducators, and eldercare providers. The availability of trained paraprofessionals in these areas could make such services available to the public more efficiently and effectively. The goal of the program is to educate, in two years, a generalist human service professional who could move into a wide range of mental health and/or human services fields. The program’s basic premise is that there is a common core of attitudes, skills, and knowledge that apply to a variety of settings. Individuals equipped with these competencies can make effective contributions to agencies involved in mental health, education, welfare, corrections, delinquency, eldercare, disability, and other areas of the human and social services. Students may pursue this degree in either of two tracks: Developmental Disabilities (housed in the Department of Special Education and School Psychology), or Social Services (housed in the Department of Sociology).

Kosco, Peter V. Lindeman, William J. Mackay, Kiran P. Misra, Martin J. Mitchell, Ulf M. Sorhannus, Craig W. Steele, Nina Thumser The Biology and Health Sciences Department offers the following undergraduate programs:; Bachelor of Science degrees in Biology, Bachelor of Science in Health Sciences, Environmental -Biology, Medical Technology, , and a Bachelor of Science in Education degree in Biology (Please refer to the Middle and Secondary Education Department section for information regarding this program). The department also offers a minor in Biology. The Biology and Health Sciences Department also offers General Education courses for non-biology majors, including BIOL100 Introduction to Biology, BIOL101 Human Biology, BIOL102 Environmental Biology, BIOL104 Introduction to Human Genetics, and BIOL304 Biology of Aging. The Biology and Health Sciences Department offers ecology courses in conjunction with the University of Pittsburgh at the Pymatuning Laboratory of Ecology where undergraduate courses may be undertaken during the summer. For details see our Web site: “Links to Field Stations.” _______________________________________________________ Bachelor of Science Degree Health Sciences The Bachelor of Science Health Sciences program is designed to prepare students interested in human health related professions. The basic degree will directly prepare students for entry level human health related careers such as health service managers, pharmaceutical sales representatives, and community health educators. The pre professional concentrations will prepare students for master’s and doctoral level professional programs such as physician assistant, physical therapy, occupational therapist, chiropractic medicine, dentistry, optometry, podiatry, medical doctor or osteopathic doctor. Entrance into all of these professional programs are very competitive, students must be well rounded: show leadership ability, participate in activities outside of academics, do well on the entrance exam and have a good GPA. For example, the typical GPA for students entering Medical, Osteopathic, Podiatry and Dental schools is usually 3.5, for Optometry, Physician Assistant, Physical Therapy and Occupational Therapy schools it is usually 3.2 and for chiropractic schools it is usually 3.0.

PRE-PROFESSIONAL PROGRAMS Students planning post baccalaureate study in the fields of dentistry, pharmacy, the medical professions, or the veterinary sciences may enroll in pre-professional programs as described below. Edinboro University offers a course of study in the liberal arts and sciences well suited to a professional career in the healing arts. The individual requirements of medical, osteopathic, dental, veterinary and other healing arts schools vary widely. However, a program can be undertaken which will satisfy the entrance requirements of most schools. The first two years are critical, and the courses recommended below should be taken with few exceptions. At the end of the school year, the specific requirements of those institutions which are of interest to the student should be reviewed with his/her advisor. As soon as a pre-healing arts student identifies himself/herself, preferably upon entering Edinboro University, he/she will be assigned to an advisor from the PreHealing Arts Committee. After the first two years the student should also decide upon the degree he/she wishes to obtain from Edinboro University. Usually the Bachelor of Science in biology or chemistry is most appropriate. However, the faculty advisor should be consulted. At the beginning of the third year at Edinboro University, the student should plan to take any special entrance examinations required for the healing arts school of his/her choice. _______________________________________________________ BACHELOR OF SCIENCE HEALTH SCIENCES PRE-CHIROPRACTIC (Suggested Eight-Semester Sequence) First Semester BIOLl50 CHEM140 ENGL101 CSCI104 Second Semester BlOLl55 ENGLl02 MATH107 SOC100 Summer BIOL219 Third Semester BlOL312 CHEM301 PSYC101 STAT260 PSYC225 and 226 Fourth Semester BIOL300 BlOL 305 BIOL313 CHEM302 PSYC332 Fifth Semester BlOL318 PSYC345 PHYS201 COMM107 Principles of Biology (4) Principles of Chemistry I (4) College Writing Skills (3) Essentials of Computing (3) TOTAL l4 sem. hrs.

MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY PROGRAM A medical technologist performs various chemical, microscopic, bacteriologic, immunologic and other medical laboratory procedures used by a physician for determining the presence and extent of disease. Approximately two-thirds of all medical technologists are employed in hospital laboratories. Others work in physicians’ offices, armed services and government laboratories and pharmaceutical houses. The student must have a solid background in chemistry and biology. The curriculum involves three years’ work embracing general education, chemistry, biology, and some physics and mathematics at Edinboro University. This is followed by twelve months of study, including didactic and practical training, at an approved hospital. The graduate is eligible for the national certification examinations given by the Board of Registry of Medical Technology and the National Certification Agency for Medical Laboratory Personnel. Because of the limited availability of clinical facilities for the fourth year of training, only a restricted number of students can be accepted in this program. Students must apply to and be accepted by a hospital for the fourth year of training. Students will be assisted in locating suitable hospital training, but Edinboro University cannot guarantee the availability of clinical training. Students are admitted provisionally to the Medical Technology curriculum. Students should apply for formal admission early in their sophomore year. The Medical Technology Committee will process the application and determine the student’s eligibility based on the following criteria: General Education Requirements 44 sem. hrs.

FACULTY: N. Gabriel Armatas, Qun Gu, Gerald J. Hoffman, Naod Kebede, Tracy Olin, Janet S. Rogers, Lisa M. Unico The Department of Chemistry offers instruction in chemistry leading to the Associate of Science degree, Chemistry/pre-Pharmacy, Bachelor of Science degree, Chemistry; the Bachelor of Science degree, Chemistry/ Biochemistry; and the Bachelor of Science degree, Chemistry/Forensic Science. It also offers a minor in chemistry, supervises students in the pre-pharmacy transfer program, and cooperates with the Department of Middle and Secondary Education, and Educational Leadershipin offering the Bachelor of Science degree in Secondary Education – Chemistry. The Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry is intended for those who desire to 1) pursue a graduate degree in chemistry or a related science, 2) enter business or industry as a chemist or, 3) obtain a solid background in the traditional sub-disciplines of inorganic, organic, biochemical, analytical, physical, and polymer chemistry. It is a rigorous, high caliber program recognized by the American Chemical Society (ACS) as an approved program. It can also serve as the basis of an excellent pre-medical program. The Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry/Biochemistry is designed for those students who desire a career in biological chemistry laboratories or the pharmaceutical industry. It is also an excellent choice as a pre-medical program or for persons interested in pursuing a graduate degree in biochemistry. Graduates of the Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry/Forensic Sciences qualify for entry level positions with the FBI, state police, and crime labs, provided that they pass their background check and any necessary civil service test..This degree program was developed in collaboration with a Forensic Advisory Board (FAB) whose membership consisted of practicing forensic scientists and law enforcement practitioners from New York, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. The FAB developed the Forensic Science curriculum to enable program graduates to obtain positions as forensic scientists working in areas of chemical and DNA analysis. Graduates also qualify for positions as trace evidence technicians with various law enforcement agencies. This program provides training in chemistry, biology, and criminal justice to meet the demands of investigative laboratories. It also provides a strong foundation to pursue graduate programs in forensic science or chemistry. The pre-pharmacy program provides the first two years of study toward a Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm. D.) degree. The curriculum was designed in cooperation with the Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine (LECOM), but is appropriate for transfer to most colleges of pharmacy. Because certain schools of pharmacy may require slight variations from the curriculum, early contact with your prepharmacy advisor and your chosen pharmacy school is recommended. Students meeting certain selective admission requirements may be accepted directly into an accelerated curriculum at LECOM. Students who complete the required courses and successfully matriculated into pharmacy programs can receive an Associate of sciences/PrePharmacy or Associate of Science/Pre-Pharmacy – LECOM degree. Beginning students who are interested in chemistry but unsure of their specific career goal should note that there is much similarity in the first year science and mathematics requirements of the various science, engineering and pre-professional curricula. Careful planning and consultation with an academic advisor will often allow the choice of a specific program to be deferred into the second year with no delay in program completion. 104 | Academic Affairs Curricula and Organization All students wishing to take either CHEM 140 General Chemistry or CHEM 240 Principles of Chemistry I must first pass the chemistry placement exam. Students wishing to take CHEM 240 Principles of Chemistry I must also qualify to take MATH 105 College Algebra, or a higher math course.

In our modern world, however, we increasingly recognize that the study of the Earth requires an understanding of human societies and how they interact with the environment across space and through time. Studying how human and physical phenomena are distributed and how they interact with one another -- that is, how the environment has shaped society, and in turn how society is shaping the environment -- requires a geographic approach. Traditional geographic fields of study include cartography, regional studies, environmental studies, and urban and regional planning of human communities. Our combined Geology and Geography focus enables us to address a broad range of student interests. Graduates of our programs will be prepared to enter traditional Geology, Environmental Studies, or Geographical Information Science fields, but will also be prepared for emerging employment opportunities associated with earth sciences, natural resources monitoring and management, environmental protection, and/or planning careers. We strongly encourage all students completing major programs in the Geosciences Department to become proficient in computer skills, particularly software applications used in GIS (Geographic Information Systems) as well as other applications unique to the disciplines. The Department of Geosciences plays a prominent role in providing general education courses for students majoring in other curricula and provides coursework necessary to complete degrees in elementary education and secondary education (i.e., social studies, and general science). These programs are administered by the School of Education. Students interested in a career in teaching should refer to the Middle and Secondary Education Department sections of this catalog. The department also operates the Edinboro University Planetarium for university classes, K-12 school programs, and programs for the community. Geographic Information Science The Geographic Information Science program is designed to prepare students for a variety of careers in the rapidly expanding GIS field. The program emphasizes practical application of GIS technology. Graduates of the program will find employment applying GIS to solving real-world problems in business, environmental science, public utilities, regional planning, and other industries. Geology Program Geology is an interdisciplinary science that studies the earth and its structural history, including the evolution of life and the atmosphere. Students interested in the physical earth sciences may pursue a Bachelor of Science degree in Geology, which offers students two options. The Bachelor of Science Degree in Geology permits a student to select a traditional program in Geology or to concentrate his/her studies in Environmental Geology. The traditional undergraduate degree in geology provides a classical, broad-based exposure to geological disciplines and thus, prepares the graduate well for entry into a wide variety of geological careers and for graduate school. Graduates commonly find employment in geologic careers ranging from petroleum exploration to environmental geology (e.g. groundwater concerns) and, with advanced degrees, to academia. The Environmental Geology Concentration is tailored for those who wish to enter the environmental geology field. It prepares the graduate well for entry into a range of geological and environmental careers and for graduate school in these disciplines. Graduates commonly find employment in geologic aspects of groundwater supply, contamination and remediation, as well as soils, slope stability, and other environmental geology concerns. Environmental Studies Program The BA in Environmental Studies is a Geography program that emphasizes an interdisciplinary approach to current environmental issues . Geographers are interested in how physical or human-related phenomena are distributed across space (mapping), the underlying physical or social causes for the past or current distributions, how phenomena (i.e., resources, cultures, households, energy, ideas, etc.) are transferred from one place to another, and predicting or planning for future distributions of phenomena. Using a spatial point of view, a geographer can focus on any of a wide range of environmental topics.. Because of this, Environmental Studies pairs very well with many other fields of study from the physical sciences to the social sciences to the humanities to computer sciences. Environmental Studies majors are encouraged to work closely with their academic advisor to construct a course of study that is best related to their academic interests and future career aspirations. _______________________________________________________ Bachelor of Arts Degree Environmental Studies The BA in Environmental Studies is a Geography program that emphasizes an interdisciplinary approach to current environmental issues. It allows students to choose from a wide range of electives, with coursework in geography, geology, biology and geographic information systems. Students will be exposed to a natural science background sufficient to make them conversant on the fundamental scientific issues involved in contemporary environmental problems. Social science skills useful to planning and understanding human interactions with the environment are also emphasized. Students also gain valuable technical skills in geospatial technologies, which are highly desired by prospective employers. All students completing a Bachelor of Arts degree in Environmental Studies must fulfill the requirements of the General Education Curriculum, and in addition complete five required courses that provide a foundation for the discipline of geography. The foundational courses emphasize six essential elements identified in the National Geography Standards that a geographically-informed person needs to know and understand.

The baccalaureate program in nursing is accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education One Dupont Circle, NW, Suite 530 Washington, DC 20036 Telephone: 202-887-6791 or 202-887-8476 webmaster@aacn.nche.edu The mission of the Department of Nursing is consistent with the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education and Edinboro University focusing on student success to prepare the highest quality professional nurses to meet the local and global holistic health care needs of individuals, families, and communities. The traditional baccalaureate degree program in nursing is developed within the general framework and policies of Edinboro University. It is a four-year program that combines professional nursing courses and clinical learning experiences with general education requirements. Upon successful completion of the program, the student receives a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree and is eligible to write the NCLEX Examination for licensure as a Registered Nurse, provided the State Board approves the student’s application. Graduates of the program are prepared to function as professional nurses in a variety of health care settings. Conviction of a misdemeanor, felony, felonious act or illegal act associated with alcohol or illegal substances will require State Board review prior to eligibility to sit for the NCLEX. Courses at the lower division level are selected to meet the general education requirements of the University and to provide the scientific base in the physical, biological, social, and psychological sciences necessary for understanding and competency in professional nursing practice. Nursing courses are structured to provide the sequential learning experiences for students perceived as essential to the development of a professional nurse. During the sophomore, junior and senior years, clinical experiences are obtained in a variety of health care agencies in the Erie and Meadville areas. Attendance at all clinical experiences is mandatory. PHILOSOPHY OF THE BACCALAUREATE NURSING PROGRAM The purpose of the Department of Nursing is to prepare professional nurses for entry level practice in a variety of healthcare settings. The faculty believe that preparation for professional nursing is the baccalaureate degree in nursing. Through a liberal and professional education, nurses acquire a foundation for the development of clinical judgment skills, professional values, and value-based behaviors. Behaviors such as caring, altruism, and integrity are central to the practice of professional nursing. The faculty of the Department of Nursing incorporate the values and vision established by Edinboro University. Emphasis is placed on the development of excellence by the student as a holistic individual, a member of the nursing profession, and an effective citizen within a community and global perspective. Academic Affairs Curricula and Organization | 123 The faculty believes nursing is a profession based on the interrelationship of person, health, nurse and environment. The PERSON is perceived as a unique, holistic being striving to achieve maturation and the selfrealization of potential. A human being responds to experiences in ways that impact on his/her own internal and external environments and that affect the basic units of socialization, which are the family and community. A person possesses free will, the power to choose, and the ability to learn and reflect on oneself. As a person matures and develops in awareness, the exercise of these traits gives him/her relative control, accountability, and responsibility for the selection and achievement of personal outcomes. HEALTH is a term describing the dynamic level of wholeness or integrity of human beings. It is a highly individualized perception, has culturally determined elements, and is evident in daily patterns of functioning. Health includes interpersonal and social coexistence with other persons. Health also encompasses well-being and is a state of integrated functioning that promotes human dignity within illness and disability. A NURSE is a healthcare professional who identifies and treats human responses to health and illness through the application of scientific knowledge. Furthermore, a nurse, working in a professional capacity, maximizes the person’s health potential. The nurse delivers care in all environments to individuals, families, groups, and communities as a provider, coordinator and designer/manager of care. In these roles, the nurse functions as patient advocate and educator for care provision, health promotion, and risk reduction. The nurse provides care to an increasingly diverse population across the life span. He/ she is prepared to make and assist others in making ethical decisions within a professional framework. A nurse is educated to help all individuals and families make decisions within the end-of-life context of their values. Membership in the profession involves acquisition of an ethical framework, knowledge of political and regulatory processes defining healthcare delivery, and life-long learning. ENVIRONMENT is the physical and psychosocial context in which human beings act and react. A person’s environment consists of interacting physical, psychosocial, cultural, spiritual, interpersonal, and ethical components. The additional components of core competencies (critical decisionmaking, communication, assessment and therapeutic nursing interventions) and core knowledge (health promotion, risk reduction and disease prevention, illness and disease management, rehabilitation, information and healthcare technologies, ethics, human diversity, global health care, and healthcare systems and policy) are also essential to the preparation of a professional nurse (adapted from Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education [CCNE]). With this educational preparation, the baccalaureate prepared nurse uses theory and research-based knowledge to provide direct and indirect care to individuals, families, groups, and communities; provide, coordinate and design/manage care, and function as a member of a profession. EXPECTED RESULTS OF THE BACCALAUREATE PROGRAM At the completion of the program, the graduate will: 1. assume an entry level professional position with practice based on current knowledge, theory, and research from the humanities, nursing, social, behavioral, and physical sciences to contribute to the delivery of a seamless continuum of care. 2. provide comprehensive, individualized, culturally competent, and spiritually focused nursing care while fulfilling responsibilities inherent in the roles of provider, coordinator, and designer/ manager of care. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. communicate, collaborate, and facilitate as a member of the interdisciplinary team to effect positive change using creative problem solving approaches. establish partnerships with patients in the development of plans of care that reflect personal values and beliefs, cultural practices, and the individual, family, group, and community’s right to choose. participate in evidence-based and research oriented practice utilizing current technology and information systems to achieve positive patient, family, groups, and community outcomes as a measure of the effectiveness and the value of nursing care. utilize the nursing process as data gather, interpreter, and synthesizer to meet the healthcare needs of individuals, families, groups, and communities across the lifespan and within the context of a diverse local, national, and global perspective. assume responsibility and accountability for nursing practice within the legal and ethical parameters established by professional organizations and regulatory agencies. pursue personal and professional development through commitment to lifelong learning, participation in professional organizations, nursing research, and community service, and involvement in political processes and the advancement of healthcare policy using creative problem solving techniques. role model leadership behaviors to advocate and negotiate for individuals, families, groups, and communities, especially those who are at risk and most vulnerable in order to impact the quality, accessibility, and cost of health care. Additional Costs During the fall of the sophomore year uniforms and other accessories must be ordered. Nursing majors are responsible for securing their own transportation to agencies utilized in meeting course requirements. All sophomore, junior and senior nursing majors must have a complete physical examination, meet specific health requirements, and carry nursing liability insurance. Students may also incur cost related to ATI testing and skill module requirements. During the senior year students are required to purchase, attend, and fully participate in an onsite NCLEX preparation course. Advanced Standing According to University policy, advanced standing can be achieved by CLEP examinations, transfer credits and competency examinations. Non-nursing college courses taken at an accredited institution of higher learning will be accepted for transfer credits if a grade of C or higher was earned. Nursing college courses are not accepted for transfer credits. Students may challenge the following non-nursing courses.

The program is completed in three academic semesters of full time study: fall semester, spring semester and fall semester. Students progress through the curriculum as a full-time cohort. Upon completion of the program, graduates receive a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (B.S.N.) degree and are eligible to write the NCLEX Examination for licensure as a Registered Nurse. The program is an intense version of the nursing courses offered in the regular four year baccalaureate program and students have comparable learning experiences in the classroom and the clinical settings. Students are expected to read extensively for background information and participate in independent learning experiences in the Nursing Labs. The intensive learning experiences require a commitment on the part of the students. It is not recommended that students work while classes are in session. I.

Edinboro University and the Colleges of Engineering and Earth and Mineral Sciences of The Pennsylvania State University, The Pennsylvania State University-Behrend College, Case Institute of Technology of Case Western Reserve University and the Swanson School of Engineering at the University of Pittsburgh have established cooperative educational programs in liberal arts and engineering. Three years or the equivalent will be spent by an enrolled student at Edinboro University where he/she will study liberal arts subjects along with basic mathematics, physics, chemistry and introductory engineering courses. After satisfactory completion of the Edinboro phase of the program and recommendation of the director of the Cooperative Engineering Physics Program, he/she will spend two years or the equivalent at one of the cooperative universities, where he/she will complete the engineering course requirements as specified by that institution. Successful completion of this program will lead to an appropriate baccalaureate degree from each institution. Since the normal progression through the cooperative program will consist of 3 years of study at Edinboro and 2 years of study of the cooperating university, the program is called a Cooperative Engineering Physics Program. Case Western Reserve University refers to their program as a Binary Program, and allows transfer into curricula other than engineering. This cooperative program was created to fulfill the following objectives: 1. To provide cooperatively a combination of liberal arts education of mathematics, science, humanities and social sciences, followed by a professional orientation in engineering that provides the student a unique preparation for a career. 2. To allow a student whose choice of engineering as a career is not yet definite to measure his/her aptitudes and interests in fundamental courses in both the arts and the sciences. 3. To provide a student with a planned sequence of liberal arts courses which, if completed successfully, would gain him/her acceptance at an engineering school at times when applications to such schools might exceed their capacity. 4. To allow qualified students to receive both a liberal and technical education at relatively low costs; and, in doing so, provide the Commonwealth and the Nation with an ample number of welleducated engineers. Counseling, admission and the transfer of students in this Cooperative Engineering Physics program (referred to as “the program” below) are implemented through the following procedures and policies: Academic Affairs Curricula and Organization | 131 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Application for admission to the program will be made to Edinboro University where the candidate will be subject to the admission requirements of this institution. A student will indicate his/her desire to follow the program either at the time of his/her admission to Edinboro or early enough in his/her program to permit him/her to complete all required prerequisite courses. Results from aptitude and achievement tests, records of scholastic achievement, and other pertinent information will be exchanged between institutions to aid both in guiding and counseling students and prospective students. At the beginning of the first semester of the third year, a student applies to the program director at Edinboro for recommendation for transfer by Edinboro University of Pennsylvania. Recommendation by Edinboro University will be made on the basis of satisfactory progress through the Edinboro component of the program and anticipated quality grade point average required of the cooperating engineering institution. Case-Western Reserve University and the Pennsylvania State University require a 3.0 grade point average for transfer. Penn State-Behrend College requires a minimum grade point average of 2.7 for transfer. The University of Pittsburgh requires a minimum grade point average of 3.0 to be considered. It is possible that individual engineering concentrations within each of these universities will require a higher grade point average than what is stated here. You should consult with the Edinboro program advisor for particular requirements. The individual student should request an application from the program director at Edinboro or directly from the Admissions Office of the cooperating university of his/her choice in September of his/her third year at Edinboro. The request from the cooperating university should include the statement that the application is for the program. The application should be submitted promptly and no later than November 30. All information and correspondence pertaining to student enrollment or transfer in the program will be channeled through the offices of the institutional representatives of the two universities involved in each transaction. A student who meets the requirements for one of the following engineering curricula, and is recommended and accepted for transfer, will be eligible to enter the cooperating engineering school with the equivalent of first semester junior standing. However, some engineering departments may require summer attendance prior to the students first fall term at the cooperating university. Finally, Pennsylvania State University has implemented enrollment control procedures that preclude transfer into some engineering fields. Students should check with their advisor on which majors are under enrollment control.

An entering student at Edinboro who plans to follow the Cooperative Engineering Physics Program will be enrolled in the Bachelor of Science Degree in Physics-Cooperative Engineering Physics concentration which will include the following course requirements to be taken at Edinboro University for transfer. Course requirements for Cooperative Engineering Physics Program I. General Education Requirements 37 sem. hrs. The General Education requirements for all curricula at Edinboro University as well as the requirements of the cooperating universities for courses in the Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences may be met within the 6 semesters (or equivalent) period the student spends at Edinboro provided the student works closely with their academic advisor or the program director. The cooperating universities will accept for transfer credit in the areas of Arts, Humanities and Social and Behavioral Sciences those courses which are non-professional to the engineer and are not considered basic skill courses. Additional requirements appropriate to specific cooperating universities are as listed. See your advisor or Cooperative Engineering Physics program director for approved course guides. II.

Drawing upon coursework in manufacturing, psychology, communications, economics, finance and marketing, and culminating in a leadership capstone experience, the ATL program prepares students to assume organizational leadership roles in industry. Additionally, if students in the ATL program take MKTG 300 and earn a B or higher in all courses taken in the Department of Business and Economics program, they will meet the prerequisites for the MBA program. Applicants to this program are expected to have a previous associate degree in a technical area which satisfies 12-24 credits of coursework in addition to at least 9 credits of general education, although additional requirements may also be met depending on specific transfer credits. The program is designed to be completed in four semesters, but additional requirements may make additional coursework necessary to complete the ATL program standards. The Industrial and Engineering Administration concentration is an interdisciplinary concentration housed under the ATL program which was developed jointly by the Department of Physics & Technology and the Department of Business & Economics in order to address industry needs. This curriculum allows graduates to progress professionally from engineering technology positions within a firm to positions that require analytical and financial decision-making for their employers. The program will prepare students for careers such as production team leaders, quality coordinators, new product development coordinators, production analysts, operations analysts, industrial sales specialists, among others. The program is defined at the baccalaureate level and will be attractive to students currently working in the manufacturing sector and to those that are pursuing, or had previously completed, associate-level training in manufacturing engineering technology at Edinboro University or other specialized training at community colleges or technical schools. The Engineering Technology Specialization area contains coursework related to new technological developments in industrial engineering technology with an emphasis in manufacturing technology. To provide flexibility for those already appropriately trained in engineering technology, the Specialization area can be satisfied with a journeyman’s certificate in a manufacturing trade or an associate degree in engineering technology from an accredited institution. This flexibility allows those who desire a bachelor’s degree to make use of their current expertise and training.

Graduates work in schools, institutions for dependent populations, group homes, mental health centers, hospitals, child welfare agencies, nursing homes, community centers and many other human service organizations. 138 | Academic Affairs Curricula and Organization The Baccalaureate Social Work Program is accredited by the Council on Social Work Education. Program requirements are designed to prepare students for direct services with client systems of various sizes and types. The curriculum is based on a liberal arts perspective and includes professional foundation courses that contain the common body of the social work profession’s knowledge, values and skills. The liberal arts base provides knowledge in artistic expression, American and world civilizations, social and behavioral science, cultural diversity and social pluralism, literature, science and philosophy. There is considerable latitude for individual choice within the liberal arts component of the curriculum, but students are required to have courses that provide them with good oral and written communication skills, knowledge of social, psychological and biological determinants of human behavior and diverse cultures, social conditions and social problems. The program does not grant social work course credit for life experience or previous work experience. All freshmen and sophomore students pursuing a degree in social work are Level I pre-social work majors. All Level I pre-social work students, in the semester that they take SOWK250, must complete an application for formal admission into the program and must be interviewed by the social work program director or other designated social work program faculty. Students are responsible for returning completed application forms to the program director and for scheduling an appointment for a formal admission interview. The program will either accept the student unconditionally, accept the student with conditions explicitly stated or reject the student, giving clear reasons for that decision and recommending alternatives. The student and registrar will be informed of the decision. Applications are accepted in the spring semester only. I. II. General Education Requirements 42 sem. hrs.

Academic advisors can only advise; meeting graduation requirements is the student’s responsibility. Academic Affairs Curricula and Organization | 147 Students whose high school mathematics coursework has not prepared them for MATH150 Applied Mathematics for Business must take MATH090 as a prerequisite. Please contact the Mathematics and Computer Science Department for more information. Most upper-level concentration-specific courses are offered only one semester a year (i.e. either only in the fall semester or only in the spring semester). This recommended course sequence assumes the odd numbered semesters are fall semesters and the even numbered semesters are spring semesters. Some courses are offered on once every two years and students should consult with the student’s academic advisor for further information. Many first-semester freshmen are more comfortable taking only 12 semester hours their first semester in college. This is acceptable and a student still can complete the degree requirements in eight semesters providing he/she adds three semester hours to a later semester.

Eighth Semester ECON420 Econometrics (3) Free Elective(s) (12) TOTAL 15 sem. hrs. *Numbered 310 or above This is the recommended course sequence necessary to complete the Bachelor of Science in Economics degree requirements in eight semesters. The student should meet with his/her academic advisor for individualized advice on course sequencing. Academic advisors can only advise; meeting graduation requirements is the student’s responsibility. Students whose high school mathematics coursework has not prepared them for MATH150 Applied Mathematics for Business must take MATH090 as a prerequisite. Please contact the Mathematics and Computer Science Department for more information. Most upper-level (310 or above) Department courses are offered only one semester a year (i.e., either only in the fall semester or only in the spring semester). Some upper-level (310 or above) Department courses are offered once every two years, therefore, students should meet with their advisor to discuss course sequencing. This recommended course sequence assumes the odd numbered semesters are fall semesters and the even numbered semesters are spring semesters. Many first-semester freshmen are more comfortable taking only 12 semester hours their first semester in college. This is acceptable and a student still can complete the degree requirements in eight semesters providing he/she adds three semester hours to a later semester. Note: Transfer students must complete a minimum of 27 credits in the Business Administration and Economics Department at Edinboro University. Academic Affairs Curricula and Organization | 149 School of Education Mission We are committed to improving the physical health, mental health, and education of the region’s children and their families. • • • Priorities: Produce the best possible educators, educational leaders, and other professionals Engage with our community partners to impact the lives of the people of this region Improve our disciplines through scholarship and research-based activities. Edinboro University prepares highly qualified teacher candidates and related professionals who effectively facilitate learning. Through knowledge, skills, dispositions, experiences and understanding of our diverse and global society, our candidates successfully contribute to the future of their students, to their own professional development, and to the well-being of the larger community. Accreditation The School of Education and all teacher certification programs within the University are accredited by the Pennsylvania Department of Education and by NCATE, the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education. (NCATE was recently re-named to Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP). All programs are aligned with the appropriate national and state content and pedagogical standards. In addition, all undergraduate programs are aligned with the Interstate Teacher Assessment and Support Consortium (InTASC). Admission to Teacher Education The procedures for admission and retention in teacher education are consistent with current state regulations and ensure that graduates meet the quality standards advocated at state and national levels for the preparation of teachers. These procedures are applicable to all initial teacher certification programs. Pennsylvania Department of Education standards for the preparation of teachers, commonly referred to as Chapter 354, require a formal admission process that allows a student with a major in teacher education to take advanced methods classes and begin student teaching. This process is referred to as candidacy. To become a teacher candidate, a student must have a minimum of 48 hours of undergraduate credits and meet all of the conditions listed below. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8 9. Earn a minimum undergraduate cumulative quality point average of 2.80. Achieve passing scores on the following PAPA, Core, SAT or ACT exams in reading, writing, and mathematics. Successfully complete six semester hours of college level mathematics (Math 104, 105, 107, 110, or 210) according to your program of study. Successfully complete nine hours of English, (including English 101, English 102 and a literature course.) Successfully complete SEDU271 Multiculturalism in American Schools. Successfully complete SPED 210 Introduction to Exceptionalities/ Special Education. Met with education advisor. If majoring in Early Childhood or Early Childhood/Special Education complete ECED120. 9.If majoring in health and physical education, complete HPE133, HPE220, HPE225, or HPE230. Submit all required clearances. Students are not eligible to enroll in upper level education courses or stage II field experiences until they are admitted to candidacy. Students must submit the Application for Admission to Teacher Candidacy to the Office of the Dean of Education when all conditions of teacher candidacy are met. Please attach a copy of your degree evaluation and score report of the PAPA, Core, ACT, or SAT with the application. Assessment and Retention Faculty and administration monitor candidate progress continuously through periodic advising, systematic assessments of knowledge, skills, and dispositions, and semester- by-semester reviews of grade point average and other program requirements. Students who encounter difficulty with PAPA tests in reading, writing, or mathematics are referred for tutoring and counseling. The individual academic departments, which house certification programs are responsible for assisting students who encounter difficulty with Praxis II or PECT tests. Following admission to candidacy, students must maintain a cumulative quality point average of 2.80. If a student’s cumulative quality point average falls below 2.80, the student will be dismissed from the program at the discretion of the dean of the School of Education pending recommendations from the student’s advisor and department chair. Students enrolled in programs leading to teacher certification must earn a grade of C or better for each course in their major and for any courses in general education that are required for the major. This provision applies to all courses in a student’s program except for general education requirements and electives that are not dictated by the major. Dispositions In addition to the pedagogical skills and knowledge defined in the standards of NCATE, InTASC, and the Pennsylvania Department of Education, all candidates in programs for the preparation of school personnel are expected to demonstrate appropriate dispositions. The character traits, attitudes, beliefs, behaviors, and emotional are articulated in the Conceptual framework, in Departmental Disposition Policies, and in the Pennsylvania Code of Professional Practice and Conduct for Educators constitute the dispositions for future teachers and related specialists from Edinboro University. Each department which houses programs in teacher preparation has a Dispositions Policy and a Dispositions Committee. These policies can be found on the Unit’s NCATE webpage. It is the responsibility of the Departmental Dispositions Committee to provide advice and remedial activities for candidates who are referred by faculty to the committee for failure to demonstrate dispositions appropriate to the teaching profession. If the candidate’s dispositions do not improve to the satisfaction of the Departmental Dispositions Committee, the committee – with the approval of the chair of the department – may refer the candidate to the dean of the School of Education along with a written recommendation and rationale. At the discretion of the dean of education, the candidate may be dismissed from the program. Admission to Student Teaching Student teaching represents the culmination of the program of professional preparation. Applications for student teaching are available in the Office of Certification and Student Teaching. Student teaching is a full-time commitment in which students are given experience in most of the activities a classroom teacher might encounter. The student must devote full time energy to the student teaching assignment. Careful planning is necessary on the part of students during the first three years of their college careers to complete their program on schedule. Student teaching is to be scheduled during the student’s senior year. 150 | Academic Affairs Curricula and Organization The University reserves the right to assign any teacher candidate to schools in the service area according to the best interest of the student, the University, the school, and the program. All assignments are at off-campus locations. Teacher candidates must assume responsibility for living expenses and transportation arrangements to the schools to which they are assigned. The student may choose to be graded on a satisfactory-unsatisfactory basis or with a letter grade. Candidates are not encouraged to work full time during the student teaching semester. Any outside employment which interferes with student teaching, could cause the candidate to be withdrawn from student teaching at the discretion of the director of field and student teaching. To be eligible for student teaching, a candidate must have met all of the following conditions: 1. Maintaina cumulative grade point average of at least 2.80.

Camille Dempsey, Andrew Pushchak, Whitney Wesley, Stacie Wolbert, John Ziegler Mission The faculty members of the Middle Level & Secondary Education Department and Educational Leadership are committed to provide undergraduate and graduate educational programs that combine strong academic content knowledge and effective pedagogy, to prepare highly qualified teachers who effectively facilitate student learning in diverse middle and secondary classrooms. Vision Through continued professional development, scholarly activities, and community involvement, highly qualified faculty strive to provide nationally recognized teacher education programs that address the needs of a diverse global society. PROGRAMS IN MIDDLE AND SECONDARY EDUCATION The curriculum for the preparation of teachers for, Middle and Secondary school certification has three components: a representative core of general education courses, a concentration of studies in an academic discipline, and designated courses in professional education. All students enrolled in the Middle and Secondary education curriculum must complete a professional concentration focusing on the knowledge and skills associated with teaching in middle level (4-8) and secondary level (7-12). This concentration emphasizes: 1. Foundational understanding about American education. 2. The cognitive, affective, sensory and psychomotor behaviors consistent with the growth and development of secondary school youth. 3. Understanding, selecting, and organizing the methods and skills in each of the academic disciplines that are most appropriate in enabling students to attain desired achievement levels.. 4. Informal and formal assessment process for analysis and decision making in the classroom. 5. Four stages of field experiences integrated into all coursework. Students majoring in any one of the nine middle level programs are eligible for certification as generalists in grades 4, 5 and 6 and specialists in selected content areas in grades 7 and 8. Students select an area(s) of concentration in either the Option I category or Option II category: Option I (30 credits in a concentration area) 1) English Language Arts and Reading 2) Mathematics 3) Science 4) Social Studies Option II (21 credits in two content areas) 1) English/ Language Arts & Reading and Science 2) English/ Language Arts & Reading and Mathematics 3) Mathematics and Science 4) Mathematics and Social Studies 5) Science and Social Studies Secondary programs (Grades 7-12) focus on the selection of a specific content area. Secondary Education: Biology Chemistry Comprehensive English Mathematics Physics Social Studies Special Education can be added to any of the Middle Level or Secondary Programs. A student in Middle and Secondary Education must earn at least a grade of C in each course presented toward fulfillment of the minimum number of hours required for graduation and certification in the student’s major academic field and student teaching, including required supporting courses. Courses in specialization areas may be used, where appropriate, and as defined below, to meet General Education requirements thus permitting students to complete degrees within or close to the required hours for graduation. This requires careful planning. All middle and secondary education majors must complete a threesemester hour literature course in addition to ENGL101 and ENGL102, and two math courses at the 100 level or above to comply with PDE certification requirements. The programs in middle level education (grades 4-8) and secondary education (grades 7-12) prepare candidates to meet the needs of students in schools of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Teacher candidates in middle level and secondary education are provided with essential professional education courses as well as carefully planned experiences in public schools. Students are required to meet Edinboro University’s guidelines for “Admission to Teacher Candidacy.” Upon completion of the competencies in Middle Level or Secondary education, the student is awarded a Bachelor of Science in Education degree. After successfully passing the designated teacher examinations and meeting other Pennsylvania Department of Education requirements, students are recommended to the Commonwealth for teaching certification. Academic Affairs Curricula and Organization | 155 MIDDLE LEVEL - The middle level concentration for education majors includes four Option 1 concentrations and five Option 2 concentrations. Option 1 concentrations are designed specifically for one concentration area. Option 2 concentrations include a high-need content area (math and/or science) plus a second content area. Special Education can be added to any of the Middle Level or Secondary Programs. OPTION 1 - Edinboro University of Pennsylvania will provide for teacher candidates in middle level education the Option 1 concentrations as outlined in the Pennsylvania Department of Education framework. These include one concentration and three generalist academic content areas. In addition, content courses in the specialty areas are aligned with the PA Academic standards and assessment anchors. This option requires teacher candidates to complete a minimum of 30 credit hours in their program of concentration and 12 credits in each of the remaining three areas. Evidence of meeting these requirements in the content areas can be found by examining the course of studies as outlined below. Middle Level – Option 1 – includes the following programs: • English/Language Arts & Reading • Mathematics • Science • Social Studies Graduates of the Bachelor of Science in Middle Level Education will be able to: • Accept the requirement to build a civil society that focuses on respect and embraces diversity. • Demonstrate pedagogical skills built on a solid foundation of discipline-specific content, reinforced by a broad liberal arts education and supervised by clinical experiences. • Effectively utilize community resources to support the educational and personal growth of learners. • Engage in a professional learning community committing themselves to excellence, continual study, practice, reflection, and self-improvement. • Exhibit continual informed decision-making, planning, and facilitation of learning based on knowledge of research, best practices, state and national student performance standards and ethical standards of the profession. • Give back to the community through civic action. • Lead and monitor all student learners using motivational and management skills. • Recognize the importance of technology and are able to utilize current and appropriate technology for instruction, administration, and facilitation of learning. • Strive for congruence of professional and interpersonal dispositions to interact, communicate and collaborate effectively with students, families, colleagues, and the community. • Utilize personal creativity, flexibility, and skill in assessing, creating and adapting instruction that provides opportunities for every student to be successful. _______________________________________________________ BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN EDUCATION Area of Certification – Middle Level English/Language Arts & Reading I.

Minor programs require a minimum of 18 semester hours, and a minimum of six credits of advanced standing coursework. All students completing their first undergraduate minor must take at least 50% of the credits required for the minor from a State System University. A student cannot minor in their major field of study (i.e., the major (or concentration) and minor cannot share the same name). A student is permitted to be awarded a maximum of four minors from the University. Minor programs are self-advised.They are structured to enable students to follow the program with limited advice. A student cannot minor in their major field of study (i.e., the major (or concentration) and minor cannot share the same name). A student is permitted to be awarded a maximum of four minors from the University. The student must complete an application form for each minor and submit it to the Office of Records and Registration no later than their last semester prior to graduation. Minor requirements must be complete at the time of graduation. The dean of the school in which the graduating student is majoring will certify satisfactory completion of the minor(s). The official transcript will show any minor program the student has satisfactorily completed at the time of graduation.

Africana Studies The program permits students to focus on African and AfricanAmerican history and African-American literature. Moreover, students can learn about geography, philosophy, sociology and other disciplines and their relationship to the Africana experience. Secondly, the demand for Africana studies at Edinboro University has increased significantly in the past five years. Students have consistently asked for the minor as well as for more courses on the black experience. Presently, we have a core of faculty members who have the expertise and the desire to offer courses in the field of Africana studies. Finally, as we prepare for the 21st century, we will be living in a more diverse and multiethnic society. It will be important that our students develop a knowledge base, values, and an appreciation for different cultures and different historical experiences. Africana Studies is the systematic and critical study of the multidimensional aspects of African thought and actions. As an interdisciplinary discipline, the minor encourages both a specialized and integrative approach to subject areas in the social sciences and humanities. It seeks to provide students with a conceptual framework for examining the thought and actions of Africans and AfricanAmericans. Courses within the minor are derived from various disciplines and thus this program seeks to integrate knowledge and practice with a multidisciplinary approach. “Africana Studies” is chosen because it is one of the most widely used designations and it best describes the conceptual framework of our specific program. Africana Studies include courses that have the Africana experience as the principal object and content of the continental African experience in Africa and the Diaspora African experience, i.e., the African experience and influence in the United States, South America, the Caribbean, Canada, and the world.

Geography Geography is an interdisciplinary field that takes a spatial approach to studying phenomena. Geographical skills and viewpoints are desirable and useful in a wide range of applications and career areas. Geographers are interested in how physical or human-related phenomena are distributed across space (mapping), the underlying physical or social causes for the past or current distributions, how phenomena (i.e., resources, cultures, households, energy, ideas, etc.) are transferred from one place to another, and predicting or planning for future distributions of phenomena. Using a spatial point of view, a geographer can focus on any of a wide range of topics that include physical geography, human geography, and human-environment interactions. Because of this, geography pairs very well with many other fields of study from the physical sciences to the social sciences to the humanities to computer sciences. All students completing the Geography Minor must take an introductory human geography course (either GEOG 101 or 130), an introductory physical geography course (GEOG 320), an introductory techniques course (GEOG 305), and at least one regional geography course.
