4. LegislativeRequirements

5. First Year Seminar • Required of all who began or were readmitted to Armstrong Fall 2013 or after with three exceptions: 1. Transferred in an equivalent course 2. Transferred in 30 or more earned hours 3. Readmitted with 30 or more earned hours

6. Legislative Requirements Satisfied by: • Completion of HIST 1100 or POLS 1100 • Transfer in equivalent of HIST 1100 or POLS 1100 • Satisfied at previous USG school

7. Legislative Requirements Continued • A combination of the following for transfer students: • A US history course (satisfies both US and GA history requirements) • An American government course that may transfer in as ELEC (satisfies US constitution requirements) • A passing score on the GA Government exam (satisfies GA constitution requirements • http://www.armstrong.edu/Departments/testingservices/testingservices_ga_government_exam

9. USG Core Transfer • A course that meets a core requirement at a USG institution must meet a core requirement at the receiving institution.

10. Overlays • Required for all students who enter the USG for the first time fall 2012 or after • US Perspectives • Satisfied by an AREA E.1 course completed at Armstrong • Global Perspectives • Satisfied by an AREA B.2 course completed at Armstrong • Critical Thinking • Satisfied by an AREA E.3 course completed at Armstrong or elsewhere in USG* *for future incoming transfers, starting Spring 2014

11. Overlays Continued • If a student transfers into Armstrong having satisfied overlay requirements from the sending USG school, the overlay(s) is considered satisfied here. • A USG course transferred into Armstrong as an equivalent to an Armstrong course does not automatically satisfy an overlay requirement, except in the case of the Critical Thinking Overlay beginning Spring 2014. • For example, Sally transferred POLS 1150 in from Kennesaw University. Sally has satisfied the AREA B.2 core requirement, but she has not satisfied the Global Perspectives Overlay. To do so, a substitution form must be submitted and approved. • Sally also transferred in PSYC 1101 from Kennesaw. Her AREA E.3 requirement is met, and her Critical Thinking overlay is met, if transferring Spring 2014 or after. Prior to Spring 2014, a substitution form is still required.

12. Substitution Form

13. Curriculum Tidbits • Repeat and Withdrawal Policies • Biology 1103 • Math Pathways

14. Repeat Policy • Any grade earned (A, B, C, D, F or WF) prior to fall 2012 will be forgiven in the GPA with a subsequent attempt in the same course. • All grades earned fall 2012 or after will be calculated into the GPA.

15. Repeat Policy Continued • The most recent grade earned in a course applies toward progression and graduation requirements • A second or any subsequent grade of W earned in a particular course will result in an automatic grade of WF. Grades of W earned prior to fall 2012 do not apply to the “W count,” nor do grades of WH (withdraw hardship) for any term (before or after fall 2012).
