responsibility for administering academic programs rests
within the various academic units.
The chancellor has the responsibility for the administration
of all campus programs, academic and non-academic. The
provost coordinates and oversees the graduate and
undergraduate academic programs on the UNCG campus.
The university faculty through the Faculty Senate, the
Undergraduate Curriculum Committee, and the General
Education Council determines the general framework for
UNCG undergraduate degree requirements and approves
the programs proposed by academic units.
Approximately 2,090 courses offered in more than 4,200
sections are available each semester. In addition, UNCG
participates in several inter-institutional agreements,
including the Greater Greensboro Consortium (with
Bennett College, Elon University, Greensboro College,
Guilford Technical Community College, High Point
University, and North Carolina Agricultural and Technical
State University), the North Carolina Inter-Institutional
Agreement (with Duke University, North Carolina Central
University, North Carolina State University, the University
of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and the University of
North Carolina at Charlotte), and the UNC Inter-

UNCG seeks men and women with ability, character,
motivation, and the intellectual potential to meet UNCG
standards of performance. UNCG’s admission decision is
based on an evaluation of the applicant’s secondary school
record and/or college record, including the overall grade
point average, an optional essay for freshman
applicants, and SAT or ACT scores. These factors are used
to determine the applicant’s probability of success at
UNCG.
This policy applies to the admission of freshmen and
transfer students. The University of North Carolina at
Greensboro is committed to equality of educational
opportunity and does not discriminate against applicants,
students, or employees based on race, color, national
origin, religion, sex, age, or disability. This commitment is
in keeping with Title IX of the Educational Amendments
of 1972 and Section 504, Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the
ADA of 1990, and other applicable federal and state laws.

334-5243, in advance of the date a campus visit is planned.

Transfer Credit
Transfer Articulation Services
Located in the Office of Undergraduate Admissions, this
unit enters transfer credit course work into the student’s
official record. Also, in association with university faculty,
this unit is responsible for determining how postsecondary-
level courses and credits transfer to UNCG, applying
admission-level transfer credit regulations, and enforcing
the provisions of the North Carolina Comprehensive
Articulation Agreement. Students with questions about
transfer credit are encouraged to contact Transfer
Articulation Services at transfercredit@uncg.edu.
Transfer equivalencies for courses that have been accepted
for credit from other institutions, in-state and out-of-state,
can be found on UNCG’s Transfer Evaluation System
located at the following website:
https://transfer.uncg.edu/TES
The Transfer Articulation staff encourages all students who
have accepted admission to the university to check the
status of their transfer credit by reviewing their degree
audit report regularly. Beyond admission to UNCG,
Transfer Articulation staff will also evaluate and approve
certain courses from other institutions to transfer to UNCG
for currently enrolled students. Students who are
considering enrolling at another institution during the
summer or for a distance learning opportunity are
encouraged to contact the staff to seek a preliminary
evaluation.
TRANSFER CREDIT POLICIES AND LIMITS
Regional Accreditation
UNC Greensboro is accredited by the Southern
Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on
Colleges. The primary service area for the Southern
Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on
Colleges (SACSCOC) includes Alabama, Florida, Georgia,
Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South
Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia. SACSCOC does
accept applications from international institutions that can
meet its accreditation standards. The accreditation
standards of this Commission require member institutions
to analyze credit accepted for transfer in terms of level,
content, quality, comparability, and degree program
relevance; therefore, course credit for undergraduate
degree-seeking students that originates from other
SACSCOC member institutions can be readily evaluated
by Transfer Articulation Services.
These requirements are consistent with other regional
accrediting agencies that service other geographic areas.
UNC Greensboro recognizes the accreditation standards of
all regional agencies; course credit originating from any
regionally accredited institution for undergraduate degree-
seeking students can be readily evaluated by Transfer
Articulation Services.
Non-Regionally-Accredited Institutions
Applicants from post-secondary institutions that are not
accredited by regional agencies must meet the
requirements in effect for admission to the freshman class,
including satisfactory secondary school records and SAT
scores, as well as meet the transfer requirements of a 2.0
GPA on a 4.0 scale.
Validating Examinations
Some departments at UNCG require an examination to
validate transfer credit. These examinations are
administered by the department or school involved.
Professional School Admissions
Admission to the university does not constitute selection
into any of the professional schools.
Minimum Transferable Grade
Transfer credit to be awarded is determined by the quality
and quantity of the student’s previous college work.
Course work completed with a grade of C-, D+, D, or D-
will not transfer. Transfer courses are evaluated on a
course-by-course basis.
Transfer Credit Limit
The sum total of transfer credit from two-year college(s),
that may be applied toward an undergraduate degree may
not exceed 64 semester hours.
Repeated Courses
The university’s Repeated Course Policy applies to transfer
credit. In the case of duplicate transfer credit, only the first
instance in which credit can be awarded will remain on the
UNCG academic record.
PROGRAMS AND ARTICULATION AGREEMENTS
Comprehensive Articulation Agreement
The North Carolina General Assembly, the Board of
Governors of the University of North Carolina, and the
State Board of Community Colleges are committed to the
simplification of transfer of credits for students and thus
facilitating their educational progress as they pursue
associate or baccalaureate degrees within and among
public post-secondary institutions in North Carolina. The
Comprehensive Articulation Agreement (CAA) is a
statewide agreement governing the transfer of credits
between NC community colleges and public universities in
North Carolina, and has as its objective the smooth transfer
of students, providing certain assurances to the transferring
student by identifying community college courses that are
appropriate for transfer as electives, and specifying courses
Admissions
20 2016–17 UNCG Undergraduate Bulletin
that will satisfy pre-major and general education
requirements.
The CAA establishes the procedures governing the transfer
of credits for students who transfer from a North Carolina
Community College to a constituent institution of the
University of North Carolina. To be eligible for the
transfer of credits under the CAA, the student must
graduate from the community college with an Associate in
Arts (AA) or Associate in Science (AS) degree and have an
overall Grade Point Average (GPA) of at least 2.0 on a 4.0
scale and a grade of "C" or better in all CAA courses.
Students who do not complete the degree are eligible to
transfer credits on a course-by-course basis. Students
officially enrolled in an AA or AS program at a North
Carolina community college prior to Fall Semester 2014
are subject to the conditions and protections contained in
the CAA in place at the time of their initial enrollment as
long as they have remained continuously enrolled.
Community college graduates of the Associate in Arts or
Associate in Science degree programs who have earned 60
semester hours in approved transfer courses with a grade of
“C” or better will receive at least 60 semester hours of
academic credit upon admission to UNC Greensboro. A
student who completes the Associate in Arts or Associate
in Science degree prior to transfer to UNC Greensboro will
have fulfilled the university's lower-division general
education requirements, but not intermediate-level general
education requirements like the College of Arts and
Sciences' foreign language requirement. Also, due to
degree requirements in some majors, additional lower-
division courses at UNC Greensboro may be required
beyond the general education courses and pre-major
courses taken at the community college.
Reverse Transfer Program
This program awards an associate degree to students who
previously attended a NC community college and earned at
least 16 community college course credits. Student will
earn their associate degree while completing courses for a
baccalaureate degree at the four year institution. There is
no cost to participate in the Reverse Transfer program.
Students should contact their community college for fees
related to printed diplomas and participating in graduation
ceremonies.
Students who transfer to a North Carolina university from
one of the 58 North Carolina community colleges are given
the opportunity to combine the credits earned at the
university with credit already earned at the community
college to determine if the associate degree requirements
have been met.
Students with fewer than 16 credits may receive
notification about the program after logging into
UNCGenie. UNC-GA and community colleges will
determine student eligibility for the program. Students are
responsible for opting in and the community college
evaluates transcripts and awards associates degrees. The
awarding of the associates degree will vary according to
how many credits the student has earned.
Please see the official Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
for eligibility and answers to all questions:
www.northcarolina.edu/reversetransfer.
Students who participate in North Carolina's Reverse
Transfer Program and earn an Associate of Arts or
Associate of Science will satisfy the university's lower-
level General Education Core (GEC) requirements per the
Comprehensive Articulation Agreement. Requirements
that are not met within this program are:
• intermediate-level General Education Core courses
• Writing/Speaking Intensive within the major
UNCG academic advisors can guide your completion of
university degree requirements, not the degree
requirements for other colleges. Participating students
assume responsibility to understand and meet final
associate degree requirements.
2Plus Programs
The 2Plus program is for those North Carolina community
college graduates who hold a specific Associate in Applied
Science (A.A.S.) or Associate Degree in Nursing (A.D.N.)
degree and desire to transfer into UNCG with advanced
standing, pursuing a specific UNCG major. Articulation
notices are sent to North Carolina community colleges
listing the 2Plus admission requirements. Specific details
of each notice may be obtained from the UNCG Office of
Undergraduate Admissions or the community college
involved.
2Plus Articulation students are transfer students with
several unique requirements and procedures. Details
governing their enrollment are provided for in the
articulation notices. The decision for admission is based on
successful completion of the A.A.S./A.D.N. Degree and
other specific factors outlined in the 2Plus articulation
notice. Students admitted under the 2Plus agreement must
notify Office of Undergraduate Admissions to change their
major. A change in major may result in a change in the
student’s admissibility.
No combination of 2Plus and community college transfer
credit may exceed 64 semester hours.
More details about 2Plus admission requirements are
available at the 2Plus website:
http://admissions.uncg.edu/students-2plus.php.
RN to BSN Articulation Agreement
This uniform, statewide academic progression agreement
promotes education advancement opportunities for
registered nurses moving between North Carolina
community colleges and UNC Greensboro in order to
complete BSN degrees. Specific details of the notice may

information regarding an applicant's activities and
responses to questions required by the UNC system. If
additional information cannot be collected prior to the
above deadlines, the application may be denied and the
student will need to reapply for future terms. For this

Veterans
Veterans Affairs benefit enrollment certification is handled
by the University Registrar’s Office, 180 Mossman
Building, 336-334-5946, un[email protected].
UNCG is on the list of approved institutions that can
provide training under the Department of Veterans Affairs
Educational Training Program. A veteran wishing to
receive educational benefits should apply first to Veterans
Affairs for a Certificate of Eligibility. The student then
applies for admission to UNCG through normal admissions
procedures. The issuing of a Certificate of Eligibility by
the VA does not automatically assure a student of
admission to UNCG.
When enrolling at UNCG, the veteran should present a
Certificate of Eligibility to the University Registrar's
Office requesting that certification of enrollment be sent to
the VA. This Certification of Enrollment is necessary
before educational benefits can be received. Certification
of Enrollment must be requested for each academic year
and again for Summer Session.
Visiting Students
College Level
College-level visitors may apply through the Division of
Continual Learning.
High School Level
High school seniors with superior academic credentials
may want to supplement their high school curriculum with
courses at UNCG. To determine if you are eligible to
enroll as a visiting student, contact the Office of
Undergraduate Admissions at 336-334-5243. Admission as
a visiting student does not imply regular admission to
UNCG.
In addition, visiting high school applicants must:
• Submit the UNCG application forms and the
application fee.
• Have a letter of permission from parent(s) and from the
high school principal sent directly to the UNCG Office
of Undergraduate Admissions. The letter must include
permission to take a specific UNCG course.
• Request that an official high school transcript and SAT
or ACT scores be sent to the UNCG Office of
Undergraduate Admissions.

50% TUITION SURCHARGE FOR
UNDERGRADUATES
Revised by the UNC Board of Governors, August 17, 2010.
The General Assembly has instituted a tuition surcharge
(Section 89 (b), Senate Bill 27, 1993 Session), which
became effective fall semester 1994 and applies to all new
undergraduates seeking a baccalaureate degree.
Specifically, it states,
The Board of Governors of The University of
North Carolina shall ensure that procedures are
established that are necessary to impose a twenty-
five percent (25%) tuition surcharge prior to Fall
2010, and fifty percent (50%) effective Fall 2010
on students who take more than 140 degree credit
hours to complete a baccalaureate degree in a
four-year program or more than one hundred ten
percent (110%) of the credit hours necessary to
complete a baccalaureate degree in any program
officially designated by the Board of Governors as
a five-year program. The calculation of the credit
hours taken at the constituent institution or
accepted for transfer shall include courses failed
by the student or that are not completed unless
officially dropped by the student pursuant to the
academic policy of the appropriate institution. The
calculation of these credit hours taken at a
constituent institution or accepted for transfer
shall exclude hours earned through the College
Board’s Advanced Placement or CLEP
examinations, through institutional advanced
placement or course validation, or through
summer term or extension programs.
UNCG Guidelines
Students Subject to the Surcharge
The tuition surcharge will be applied to new undergraduate
students enrolled for the first time in Fall 1994 and
thereafter in a degree program at UNCG as follows:
1. For students earning a first baccalaureate degree in a
program that requires no more than 128 credit
(semester) hours, the surcharge shall be applied to all
hours in excess of 140.
2. For students earning a first baccalaureate degree in a
UNC Board of Governors Board-approved program
that requires more than 128 credit hours, the surcharge
shall be applied to all hours that exceed 110 percent of
the credit hours required for the degree. Such programs
include those that have been officially designated by
the Board of Governors as five-year programs as well
as those involving double majors, or combined
bachelor’s/master’s degrees.
3. For students earning a baccalaureate degree other than
their first, the surcharge shall be applied to all hours
that exceed 110 percent of the minimum additional
credit hours needed to earn the additional baccalaureate
degree. The minimum additional credit hours will be
determined by the degree evaluation performed by the
Office of the University Registrar during the first
semester a student is enrolled in the second or other
baccalaureate degree.
Students seeking a second baccalaureate degree are
required to take 31 credit hours of residency at UNCG.
Expenses, Payments, and Refunds

billing.
Students may contact the University Registrar's Office to
obtain current information on their credit/semester hours.
Students may request a waiver for military service
obligation, serious medical debilitation, disability, or other
extraordinary hardship, as defined under BOG 1000.1.5

Academic Standing at UNCG
The following requirements and procedures for
maintaining academic good standing became effective in
Fall 2014 for undergraduate students and was modified by
Faculty Senate in April 2014.
Undergraduate students are expected to be aware at all
times of their academic standing and are responsible for
knowing whether or not they are on Academic Good
Standing, Hours Warning, Academic Probation, Academic
Suspension, or Academic Dismissal. Students may check
their academic standing via UNCGenie.
UNCG reserves the right to deny enrollment to any
student, even though the student has met the minimum
grade point average required, if it is apparent from the
student’s academic record of required courses that the
student will not be able to meet graduation requirements.
The Academic Good Standing Policy applies to enrollment
during any term, including summer term. Students may be
placed on Hours Warning, Academic Probation, Academic
Suspension, Academic Dismissal, or restored to Academic
Good Standing based on their academic performance
during Summer Session. Academic performance for both
summer terms is evaluated at the end of Summer Session
II.
Academic Good Standing Policy
(For degree-seeking students entering the university Fall
2014 and after. Students who entered the university as
degree-seeking undergraduates prior to Fall 2014 are
grandfathered into the policy last published in the 2013–14
Undergraduate Bulletin.)
To maintain Academic Good Standing at UNCG,
undergraduate students will be required to satisfy all of the
following requirements:
• Maintain a minimum 2.0 cumulative GPA
• Earn 67% of their semester hours each term
Failure to satisfy all of the requirements above will result
in Hours Warning or Academic Probation.
Hours Warning
Hours Warning will occur when an undergraduate
student in their first semester at UNCG
successfully maintains a minimum 2.0 cumulative
GPA but only earns 50%–66.99% of their
semester hours, which are locked at the end of the
drop/add period.
Students who fall on Hours Warning will be
required to satisfy all of the following
requirements during the next term of enrollment:
• Maintain a minimum 2.0 cumulative GPA
• Earn 67% of their semester hours each term
• Enroll in and successfully complete the
requirements of the Academic Resources &
Knowledge (ARK) Program
Failure to satisfy all of the Hours Warning
requirements above will result in Academic
Probation at the end of the warning term.
Academic Probation
Academic Probation will occur when an
undergraduate student in Academic Good
Standing or Hours Warning fails to satisfy all of
the following requirements:
• Maintain a minimum 2.0 cumulative GPA
• Earn 67% of their semester hours each term
Undergraduate students who fall on Academic
Probation will be required to satisfy all of the
following requirements during the next term of
enrollment:
• Limit enrollment to a maximum of 13 semester
hours every fall and spring term and eight (8)
semester hours in the summer term until
Academic Good Standing is restored
• Earn a minimum 2.30 term GPA every term until
a 2.0 cumulative GPA is restored
• Earn 67% of their semester hours each term
• Enroll in and successfully complete the
requirements of the ARS 100 course
Failure to satisfy all of the Academic Probation
requirements above will result in Academic
Suspension at the end of the probationary term. In
cases where circumstances beyond the student’s
control have interfered with the student’s
academic performance, students placed on
Academic Suspension may request immediate
reinstatement by submitting an Academic
Suspension Appeal. Contact the Students First
Office, 061 McIver Building, 336-334-5730, for
more information on the appeal process.

NOTE: Summer Session is not considered a term
away for the purposes of Academic Suspension.
After a one-term suspension, students may apply
for readmission to the university via the Office of
Undergraduate Admissions.
If readmitted, upon return from Academic Suspension, an
undergraduate student will be considered on Academic
Probation and is required to satisfy all of the following

must apply for readmission to the university via
the Office of Undergraduate Admissions. Contact
the Students First Office, 061 McIver Building,
336-334-5730, for more information on the appeal
and readmission process.
Upon return from Academic Dismissal, an undergraduate
student will be considered on Academic Probation and is
required to satisfy all of the following requirements during
their next term of enrollment:
• Limit enrollment to a maximum of 13 semester hours
every fall and spring term and eight (8) semester hours
in the summer term until Academic Good Standing is
restored
• Earn a minimum 2.30 term GPA every term until a 2.0
cumulative GPA is restored
• Earn 67% of their semester hours each term
• Enroll in and successfully complete the requirements
for the Academic Coaching in Transitions (ACT)
Program
Failure to satisfy all of the Academic Dismissal
requirements above will result in Academic Dismissal at
the end of the term. In cases where circumstances beyond
the student’s control have interfered with the student’s
academic performance, students placed on Academic
Dismissal may request immediate reinstatement by
submitting an Academic Dissmissal Appeal. Contact the
Students First Office, 061 McIver Building, 336-334-5730,
for more information on the appeal process.
Academic Appeals
In cases where circumstances beyond the student’s control
have interfered with the student’s academic performance,
students placed on Academic Suspension or Academic
Dismissal may request immediate reinstatement by
submitting an Academic Suspension Appeal or Academic
Dismissal Appeal. Appeals must be submitted by the
published deadlines, which are located in the academic
calendar and the Undergraduate Bulletin. Events and/or
circumstances that merit an appeal include officially
documented unanticipated personal life events; officially
documented unanticipated serious medical difficulty,
and/or officially documented serious psychological
difficulty. Students are strongly encouraged to contact the
Students First Office for assistance before officially
submitting an appeal.
An Academic Suspension Appeal or Academic Dismissal
Appeal will be reviewed by the Academic Appeals
Academic Regulations
2016–17 UNCG Undergraduate Bulletin
31
Committee. Once an appeal has been submitted, students
will be notified of the results of their appeal in writing. All
academic appeal decisions are final.
As mandated by the university, a student whose Academic
Suspension Appeal or Academic Dismissal Appeal is
approved must agree to participate in the designated
Academic Recovery Program, coordinated within the
Students First Office, during the next term of enrollment.
Failure to participate in this program or meet any condition
of this program will result in immediate Academic
Dismissal at the end of the term.
Auditing Courses
Full-time UNCG students may audit courses upon the
written approval of the instructor. Auditors must register
officially for the class. Attendance, preparation, and
participation in the classroom discussion and laboratory
exercises shall be at the discretion of the instructor. An
auditor is not required to take examinations and tests and
receives no credit for the course.
Registration may not be changed from audit to credit or
from credit to audit status after the end of late registration.
See the Auditors topic in the Admission to the University
section for auditing options other than full-time UNCG
students.
Average Time to Graduation
Many factors affect both the length of time and the number
of credit hours an individual student will require to
complete the baccalaureate degree. Full-time
undergraduate students are expected to complete at least 12
credit hours per semester. Failure to complete an average
of 15 hours per semester may lengthen the student’s time
to graduation. Some majors do require formal admission
beyond that required for admission to the university in
general.
Students should meet with their academic advisors
regularly to plan their academic schedules. To graduate,
students must complete specific university requirements as
well as requirements within the major. Students who
change majors may find that additional requirements must
be fulfilled. Changing majors excessively, or after the third
or fourth semester of study, may also lengthen the time to
graduation.
Criteria for admission to a specific major (outlined in the
Undergraduate Bulletin) and continuation in that major
may include a university grade point average exceeding
that required for continuation within the university as a
whole. Students considering such majors should become
familiar with the guidelines, and work with an academic
advisor, as soon as possible to ensure that they meet the
criteria.
Class Attendance
Regular class attendance is a responsibility and a privilege
of university education. It is fundamental to the orderly
acquisition of knowledge. Students should recognize the
advantages of regular class attendance, accept it as a
personal responsibility, and apprise themselves of the
consequences of poor attendance. Instructors should stress
the importance of these responsibilities to students, set
appropriate class attendance policies for their classes, and
inform students of their requirements in syllabi and orally
at the beginning of each term.
Student’s Responsibility
1. Knowledge of each instructor’s attendance policy and
monitoring his or her class absences throughout the
term.
2. Familiarity with all materials covered in each course
during absences and make-up of any work required by
the instructor.
3. Inform each instructor as far in advance as possible
when conflicts or absences can be anticipated (e.g.,
athletic team events, work, medical procedures,
religious observances, etc.) by e-mail, phone, or by
contacting the main office of the department that offers
the course.
4. Provide appropriate documentation so that each
instructor can make an informed decision as to whether
or not the absence is excusable.
5. Initiation of requests to make-up work missed because
of class absences. The decision to assist the student
with make-up work, including tests, rests with the
instructor.
6. Follow-up on all notices from the Registrar regarding
course enrollment in order to correct registration.
Instructor’s Responsibility
1. Setting of reasonable regulations for class attendance as
appropriate for class content, organization,
methodology, and size.
2. Description of attendance policies in course syllabi and
announcement in class, particularly at the beginning of
each term.
3. Maintenance of class attendance records of enrolled
students as appropriate for the attendance policy.
4. Exaction of penalties for unsatisfactory class
attendance. Possible penalties are lowering the course
grade, including a grade of F, and, in extreme
circumstances, dropping the student from the course.
Academic Regulations
32 2016–17 UNCG Undergraduate Bulletin
Dean of Students Office Responsibility
1. Notify each instructor on the student's behalf when
personal reasons (e.g., family emergency, illness,
bereavement, birth of a child, military duty, etc.)
prevent the student from properly notifying each
instructor because of circumstances beyond the
student’s control. The student or the student’s
representative should contact the Dean of Students
Office (336-334-5514) if the student is unable to make
direct contact by e-mail or phone with each instructor
or is unable to leave word with each instructor’s
department.
2. Review documentation by a licensed health
professional and confirm its receipt with each instructor
if the student experiences a medical or psychological
event that significantly impairs their ability to function
successfully or safely as a student.
The student should be aware that assistance of the Dean of
Students Office does not change in any way the outcome
of the instructor’s decision regarding the student’s
academic work, grades and performance in any given
course.
Religious Observance
Approved by the Office of the Provost, August 2010
1. The university allows for a limited number of excused
absences each academic year for religious observances
required by the faith of the student.
2. Students must notify instructors of absences in advance
of the date of the religious observance. Instructors have
the authority to specify, via written notice to students,
the amount of lead time required and may require that
the nature of the religious observance be specified and
the student's participation be confirmed in writing by
an official of the religious organization.
3. When appropriate notice is provided by a student, the
student must be granted at least two excused absences
per academic year under this policy and must be
allowed to make up or waive work and tests missed due
to these particular absences. With regard to any test or
other assignment that a student would miss due to
notice of a required religious observance, faculty
members may require the student to complete the test
or assignment in advance of the originally scheduled
date of the test or assignment. Beyond the minimum
terms and limits of this policy, instructors maintain
authority to establish and enforce the attendance policy
for the courses they are teaching.
4. The requirement for students to make such requests for
excused absences applies only to days when the
university is holding class.
Appeals
If a student thinks there is a discrepancy between the
instructor’s exaction of a penalty for unsatisfactory class
attendance and the stated policy or that there is an
extenuating circumstance that may affect the instructor’s
decision, then he or she should first make a request to the
instructor. If desired, the student may further appeal to the
Department Head, the Dean of the School or College, and
the Provost, in that order.
Classification of Students
The following classifications became effective for fall
1996 and thereafter for newly admitted undergraduates
(transfer students and freshmen).
Undergraduate students are classified as freshmen,
sophomores, juniors, and seniors. These classifications are
determined by the number of semester hours completed
(including hours transferred from another institution). The
classifications are as follows:
Freshman 0–29.9 semester hours completed
Sophomore 30–59.9 semester hours completed
Junior 60–89.9 semester hours completed
Senior 90 or more semester hours completed
Course Selection
ADDING COURSES
Students may add courses to their schedules during the
Drop/Add period. Between the end of the Drop/Add period
and the 10th day of classes, a student desiring to add a
course may do so only with the written approval of the
instructor.
Late Adds
After the 10th day of classes, adding with instructor
permission will be accepted by the University Registrar’s
Office only under extraordinary circumstances.
COURSE WITHDRAWAL POLICY
The following requirements and procedures for
maintaining Academic Good Standing became effective in
Fall 1996 for newly admitted degree-seeking
undergraduates (freshmen and transfer students), modified
by Faculty Senate in April 1998 and modified again in
November 2013 in compliance with UNC Policy
400.1.1[R].

Academic Calendar) that do not count as attempted hours
and are not limited to 16 semester credit hours. Students
who have not exceeded their 16-semester-hour limit may
withdraw from a course or courses after the course
adjustment period and within the first eight weeks of the
term without incurring a WF grade (Withdrawn Failing).
Withdrawal from courses within the 16-semester-hour
limit will be indicated on a transcript with a grade of WX.
Course withdrawals after eight weeks or in excess of 16
semester credit hours will incur a WF grade (Withdrawn
Failing).
Courses of less than one semester’s duration, including
Summer School courses, shall have shorter withdrawal
deadlines (proportional to the course adjustment and eight-
week deadline for the regular semester). All withdrawal
deadlines are published on the University Registrar's
Office Web site.
All WX courses count as attempted hours and in tuition
surcharge calculations, and are subject to academic
standing, financial aid, and Satisfactory Academic
Progress rules and calculations.
Withdrawing from a course with extenuating
circumstances
Undergraduate students with appropriate cause, as
determined by officially documented military deployment,
medical, psychological, or unanticipated personal life
events, or administrative reasons, may petition for an
exemption from the 16-semester-hour limit and the eight-
week deadline by initiating a Course Withdrawal Request
through the Students First Office. The Course Withdrawal
Request Committee, under the purview of the Students
First Office, shall be responsible for authorizing Course
Withdrawal Requests in consultation with the instructor of
every course, and with other departments or agencies as
needed. If a Course Withdrawal Request is authorized, all
requested courses will be indicated on a transcript with a
grade of WE (Withdrawn with Exception).
If a student withdraws from all courses, the student is
considered officially withdrawn from the university. See
section on Withdrawal from the University.
All WE courses count as attempted hours and are subject
to financial aid and Satisfactory Academic Progress rules
and calculations; they do not count in academic standing
calculations, GPA calculation, or tuition surcharge
calculations.
Withdrawing from courses retroactively
Undergraduate students shall be given one year following
the term in which a course or courses were taken to submit
a Course Withdrawal Request with the Students First
Office. Students who seek to withdraw from a course or
courses retroactively must meet the conditions under
Withdrawing from Current Term Courses and the Course
Withdrawal Request Committee, under the purview of the
Students First Office, must authorize the request. Students
are strongly encouraged to contact the Students First
Office for assistance before officially submitting a Course
Withdrawal Request. If a Course Withdrawal Request is
authorized, all requested courses will be indicated on a
transcript with a grade of W (Withdrawn) for classes taken
prior to Fall 2014, and a grade of WE (Withdrawn
Exception) for courses taken in Fall 2014 and thereafter.
Students who have graduated may not withdraw from
courses retroactively.
Neither the course withdrawal (WX) nor the course
withdrawal with an exception (WE) can be replaced under
the university’s Grade Replacement Policy or forgiven as
part of the Academic Renewal Policy.

COURSE LOADS
Twelve semester hours is considered full-time status for
undergraduates. An undergraduate student must be
enrolled for a minimum of 12 hours to qualify for full-time
certification to any organization.
Full-time undergraduates normally take five courses per
semester. Since a majority of courses carry three hours of
credit with some carrying four hours of credit, a normal
course load is 15 or 16 hours per semester. To complete
most undergraduate degrees in four years, students should
plan to carry 15 or 16 hours per semester.
Undergraduates may not take more than 18 hours per
semester except with the approval of the Dean of
Undergraduate Studies, 132 McIver. Students who have
cumulative grade point averages of 3.0 may be authorized,
in special circumstances and at the discretion of the Dean
of Undergraduate Studies, to carry a maximum of 21 hours
of course work.
SUGGESTED ACADEMIC WORKLOAD
GUIDELINES
Students should be aware that academic excellence and
scholastic achievement usually require a significant
investment of time in study, research, and out-of-class
projects. To provide guidance to students in planning their
academic and work schedules, the following
recommendations are offered:
1. In general, students should plan to devote between 2–3
hours outside of class for each hour in class. Thus,
students with a 15-hour course load should schedule
between 30–45 hours weekly for completing outside-
of-class reading, study, and homework assignments.
2. Students who are employed more than 5–10 hours each
week should consider reducing their course loads
(semester hours), depending upon their study habits,
learning abilities, and course work requirements.
Course Credit Regulations and
Limits
CORRESPONDENCE CREDIT
Up to 64 semester hours in correspondence and extension
credit may be applied to the completion of work for an
undergraduate degree with the further stipulation that not
more than one-fourth of the requirements for the degree
may be completed in correspondence credit. Academic
departments may establish such course and credit
limitations in acceptance of correspondence credit as may
be required by specific degree programs.
Although UNCG correspondence credit is treated as
transfer credit at the time of admission, it will be thereafter
considered “Residence” credit for degree certification
purposes.
Correspondence credit earned from institutions other than
UNCG is always treated as transfer credit. It will have no
impact on the UNCG grade point average. Only credit
hours will be applied toward UNCG degree requirements.
EXTENSION CREDIT
UNCG extension credit, earned either on or off campus,
will be considered transfer credit for admission purposes.
Up to 64 semester hours in extension and/or
correspondence credits may be applied to completion of
work for an undergraduate degree. Academic departments
may establish such course and credit limitations in
acceptance of extension credit as may be required by
specific degree programs.
Although UNCG extension credit is treated as transfer
credit at the time of admission, it will be thereafter
considered “Residence” credit for degree certification
purposes.
NON-CREDIT COURSES
Non-credit courses do not count toward graduation nor are
they calculated in the student’s GPA. There are currently
no non-credit courses available.
PHYSICAL EDUCATION CREDIT LIMIT POLICY
Any university student may take up to 12 hours of elective
credit in physical education activity courses to apply
toward graduation.
REPEATED COURSES
If a course or its equivalent is taken more than once for
credit and is not repeatable for credit, credit will be applied
toward degree requirements only once.
SUMMER SESSION CREDIT
Students may enroll for no more than seven hours during
each of the two summer sessions, unless permitted to take
an increased load by the Students First Office.
TRANSFER CREDIT
UNCG accepts the accreditation of the Southern
Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on
Colleges. Colleges and universities outside of North
Carolina must have accreditation from the appropriate
accrediting agency for the transfer credit to be evaluated
for acceptance.
Academic Regulations
2016–17 UNCG Undergraduate Bulletin
35
Transfer credit to be awarded is determined by the quality
as well as the quantity of the student’s previous college
work. Course work completed with a grade of C-, D+, D,
or D- will not transfer. Transfer courses are evaluated on a
course-by-course basis.
The sum total of transfer credit from two-year college(s)
that may be applied toward an undergraduate degree may
not exceed 64 semester hours.
The university’s Repeated Course Policy applies to transfer
credit. In the case of duplicate transfer credit, only the first
instance in which credit can be awarded will remain on the
UNCG academic record.
The university’s Grade Replacement Policy stipulates that
attempts to earn a better grade in a UNCG course must be
done either at the university or through Inter-Institutional
Registration. Transferred courses cannot apply toward a
formal grade replacement request.
Current UNCG policy stipulates that courses completed in
technical, vocational, or professional programs at
community colleges or courses from technical colleges or
proprietary institutions cannot be accepted in transfer,
unless they are part of a 2Plus articulation agreement.
These agreements give students with articulated Associate
in Applied Science degrees access to only complementary
degrees at UNCG.
Grading
ACADEMIC RENEWAL
The following policy was approved by the UNCG Faculty
Senate on October 2, 2002; amended October 23, 2006;
amended March 4, 2015.
Academic Renewal allows formerly enrolled students who
have been readmitted the possibility of having grades
earned during their previous attendance period to be
forgiven (excluded from GPA calculations). Students
initiate the request for Academic Renewal by filing a form
with the University Registrar's Office.
Formerly enrolled students who left UNCG with a
cumulative GPA below 2.00 may pre-qualify for academic
renewal when:
• they have not been enrolled in any institution of higher
education for a minimum of one year (one fall and one
spring semester);
or, as an alternative:
• they have completed 24 hours of transferrable college
credit with a 2.50 GPA since their last enrollment at
UNCG.
Upon being readmitted and/or reactivated under the
provisions of this policy, pre-qualified students may apply
for Academic Renewal after earning at least a 2.30 GPA on
their first 12 hours following re-enrollment. If a student
earns fewer than 12 hours in their first term after re-
enrollment, all hours and grades earned in consecutive
terms (concluding with the term in which the 12 hours total
is reached) will be considered for this requiremetn. If a
student earns more than 12 hours in the first term after re-
enrollment, all hours and grades earned in that term will
be considered for the GPA requirement. Thereafter, the
student must meet the standard for continuation in the
university Academic Good Standing policy.
All Academic Renewal requests should be submitted to the
Students First Office and will be reviewed for approval by
the Academic Renewal Review Committee.
Upon meeting the Academic Renewal requirements,
previously completed courses in which grades of a D+ or
below were earned will be forgiven. The recomputed GPA
will be calculated from the courses in which grades of C-
or higher were earned. All courses taken will appear on the
academic record and count toward attempted hours. Grades
will be forgiven only once during a student’s career and
cannot be reversed.
Students cannot combine the Academic Renewal Policy
and the Grade Replacement Policy.
CHANCELLOR'S LIST
Undergraduate students are eligible for the Chancellor’s
List who meet the following criteria:
• achievement of 30 or more semester hours at UNCG
• a cumulative grade point average of 3.65 or higher
• current enrollment at UNCG in 12 or more hours
• be in Academic Good Standing
In the case of transfer students, at least one semester of
enrollment at UNCG is required.
Recognition is accorded the recipients of this honor. The
Chancellor's List is published on the University Registrar's
Web site after all grades have been processed for the
respective fall or spring term. The achievement also
appears on the academic transcript.
DEANS' LIST
Undergraduate students are eligible for the Deans' List who
meet the following criteria:
• carry six or more semester hours of course work graded
on an A, B, C, D, or F basis
• earn a grade point average of 3.50 or better and have no
grade below B- for the semester
Academic Regulations
36 2016–17 UNCG Undergraduate Bulletin
• be in Academic Good Standing
The list is compiled at the end of each semester or when a
grade change is processed after a semester for all students
whose grade point average falls within the range at the
time the report is prepared.
Recognition is accorded the recipients of this honor. The
Deans' List is published on the University Registrar's Web
site after all grades have been processed for the respective
fall or spring term. The achievement also appears on the
academic transcript.
FINAL COURSE EXAMINATIONS
Final examinations may be required at the discretion of
faculty and must be scheduled in course syllabi with
information available to students on the first day of class.
Change of Examination Schedule
A student desiring to change the meeting time of a final
exam should make the request directly to the class
instructor. It is the instructor’s prerogative to grant such
requests. In instances where students have three exams
within a 24-hour period, they may apply to the University
Registrar’s Office, 180 Mossman Building, for permission
to change their exam schedules. The usual process is to
change the middle examination in a sequence of three. All
requests for changes in examinations must be filed with the
University Registrar’s Office before Reading Day.
GRADE APPEAL POLICY
If a student wishes to appeal an assigned grade, the student
should first discuss the concerns with the instructor. If
desired, the student may further appeal to the department
head, the dean of the school or college, and the provost, in
that order.
If a student accepts responsibility for an academic integrity
violation (Section III.B of the violation report form), but
does not accept the sanctions proposed by the faculty
member, the student must appeal to the faculty member’s
department head, the dean of the school or college, and the
provost, in that order.
The following amendment to the appeal policy was
approved by the UNCG Faculty Senate on November 17,
2007.
Grade Appeals will be considered only in the most
exceptional circumstances, and are approved only in cases
where the evidence strongly supports the student’s claim.
Appeals must be filed no later than the first six months
after the grade has posted.
Examples that do merit a grade appeal
include:
• The instructor has miscalculated a final grade;
• The instructor has violated the grading policies outlined
in the syllabus without reasonable cause;
• The instructor has not provided a reasonable
explanation of how the student’s work was evaluated.
Examples that do not merit a grade appeal
include:
• The instructor’s grading policies differ from other
instructors in the department, college or school, or
university.
• The instructor’s Attendance Policy differs from other
instructors in the department, college or school, or
university.
• The instructor’s Late Work Policy differs from other
instructors in the department, college or school, or
university.
• The grade distribution in the class in question is lower
than in other sections of the same course.
• The student’s grade in the course is significantly lower
than grades the student earned in similar courses.
• The grade in question will trigger probation,
suspension, or loss of financial aid.
Please note that simple disagreement about what
constitutes fair grading is not grounds for an appeal.
Department or school handbooks and/or the instructor’s
syllabus define standards for grading in that course. When
a student elects to remain in a class after reading these
materials, the student is understood to have accepted the
grading terms for the course. The instructor is not
obligated to deviate from grading standards outlined in the
department or school handbooks and/or the syllabus.
GRADE POINTS/GRADE POINT AVERAGES
(GPA)
UNCG uses a semester hour credit and grade point
system for evaluating undergraduates. Semester hour
credits represent the number of course hours completed.
Grade points are determined by the number of semester
hour credits attempted and the grades earned.
The grade point average is determined by dividing the
accumulated number of grade points earned by the
accumulated number of semester hours undertaken. Hours
attempted but not passed must be included in this
calculation. However, a second F or WF in the same
course is not used in computing the grade point average.
Courses graded on the P/NP or S/U basis and courses
transferred from another institution (except those courses
taken through the Consortium and Inter-institutional
Registration) may not be used in determining the UNCG
grade point average.
Beginning with courses taken in Fall 1996, plus/minus
grades are incorporated into the GPA for all
Academic Regulations
2016–17 UNCG Undergraduate Bulletin
37
undergraduates. Effective fall 2006, the A+ is added to the
scale, carrying 4.3 quality points. The maximum grade
point average for an undergraduate, however, will be
capped at 4.0.
Grade Grade Points Awarded Per Hour of Credit
A+ 4.3
A 4.0
A- 3.7
B+ 3.3
B 3.0
B- 2.7
C+ 2.3

F/WF 0.0
GRADE REPLACEMENT POLICY
Except for courses with specific provision in the course
description for repeated credit, a UNCG undergraduate
student may repeat a UNCG course in an attempt to earn a
better grade. Students may request that an original grade in
a course be removed from the Grade Point Average (GPA)
and replaced by the grade earned in the repeated course.
Students must initiate the request by filing a form with the
University Registrar’s Office to replace a grade.
• Grades can be replaced for courses taken fall 2005 and
thereafter.
• Only courses numbered 300-level and below may be
repeated.
• During their undergraduate careers, students may
request to replace the grades for a total of three courses,
regardless of credit- or semester-hour value. For
example, a student may replace a single course three
times, or a combination thereof, not to exceed the limits
of the policy.
• Grades earned as a result of Academic Integrity
violations recorded by the Office of Student Affairs
may not be replaced by another grade.
• Grades earned in repeated courses will not be used to
replace grades earned as part of a degree once it has
been conferred.
• All grade replacements are final.
• The academic record will reflect all attempts and
grades.
• The attempted hours from all courses will be counted
for academic standing, tuition surcharge, and financial
aid eligibility (as applicable).
• Students cannot combine the Grade Replacement and
the Academic Renewal policies.
In the case of all other repeated courses, attempted hours
and grade points from all attempts will be counted fully in
the GPA; however, semester credit hours earned for the
course will count only once in the total hours for the
degree. Departmental policies may supersede this policy.
GRADE REPORTS
Final course grades are made available to students at the
end of each semester on UNCGenie, UNCG’s student
information system. Students can view and print copies of
their grades from UNCGenie.
GRADES
A grade in a course is based on the quality of the student’s
classroom and written work throughout the semester. Most
course grades are not solely based on the final examination
alone.
If a course or its equivalent is taken more than once for
credit and is not repeatable for credit, credit will be applied
toward degree requirements only once.
GRADING SYSTEM FOR UNDERGRADUATES
A
Excellent—indicates achievement of distinction
and excellence in several if not all of the following
aspects: 1) completeness and accuracy of
knowledge; 2) intelligent use of knowledge; 3)
independence of work; 4) originality.
B
Good—indicates general achievement superior to
the acceptable standard defined as C. It involves
excellence in some aspects of the work, as
indicated in the definition of A.
C
Average—indicates the acceptable standard for
graduation from UNCG. It involves such quality
and quantity of work as may fairly be expected of
a student of normal ability who gives to the course
a reasonable amount of time, effort, and attention.
D
Lowest Passing Grade—indicates work that falls
below the acceptable standards defined as C but
which is of sufficient quality and quantity to be
counted in the hours of graduation if balanced by
superior work in other courses.
Academic Regulations
38 2016–17 UNCG Undergraduate Bulletin
F
Failure—indicates failure that may not be made up
except by repeating the course.
I
Incomplete—indicates that the completion of
some part of the work for the course has been
deferred because of prolonged illness of the
student or because of some serious circumstances
beyond the student’s control. Concomitantly with
the recording of an Incomplete grade, the
instructor files with the head of the school or
department concerned the student’s average grade
and the specific work that must be accomplished
before the Incomplete can be removed. Incomplete
grades may be recommended by the university
physician, the Counseling and Testing Center, and
by the Dean of Undergraduate Studies. See also
the topic Incomplete Grades in this section.
IP
In Progress—indicates that the course work was
planned to continue beyond a single semester.
NR
Not Reported—indicates a final grade was not
submitted prior to the official end of the semester
according to the university’s academic calendar.
P/NP
Passing/Not Passing—used for designated courses
only; courses graded P/NP are so indicated in the
course description.
SP
Special Exam
W
Withdrawal—indicates a course from which the
student withdrew during the first eight (8) weeks
of classes; no academic penalty is attached to a
grade of W; see also Course Withdrawal.
WF
Withdrawal with Failure—indicates a course from
which the student withdrew after the first eight (8)
weeks of classes; a WF is computed in the
student’s GPA; see also Course Withdrawal.
WN
Withdrawal Not Passing—used in courses
designated P/NP.
NC
No Credit—indicates an audited course.
INCOMPLETE GRADES
An Incomplete grade may be removed by completion of
the deferred work. The time line for which all deferred
work must be submitted by a student is determined at the
discretion of the instructor and should be clearly outlined
via a written document summarizing the course work to be
completed and any deadlines for submission. A student
should not reregister for the course in order to remove the
Incomplete. An Incomplete received during a semester or
in summer session must be removed within six months
from the last day of examinations in the term in which the
course was taken. Current deadlines for removals of
incompletes are published below.
An incomplete not removed within this time limit is
automatically converted to an F by the university registrar.
A graduating senior who incurs an incomplete and who has
completed all requirements and enough semester hour
credits and grade points to graduate may do so even though
the Incomplete grade is outstanding. If the Incomplete is
not removed within the required six months, it will be
converted to F at the end of that period of time. When an
Incomplete is removed, it may be replaced by A, B, C, D,
F, or, in certain designated courses, P, NP, S, or U.
Incomplete Removal Deadlines
Incomplete grades must be removed by the deadlines
stated below or they will be automatically converted to F
on the student’s academic record.
Note: These deadlines indicate the final date that
an instructor may submit a grade change to
remove the incomplete grade. The parameters for
removing an incomplete grade, including any
deadlines for which work must be submitted by a
student, are at the discretion of the instructor.
Fall 2015
Incomplete grades earned during Fall 2015 must be
removed by June 9, 2016.
Spring 2016
Incomplete grades earned during Spring 2016 must be
removed by November 4, 2016.
Summer 2016
Incomplete grades earned during Summer 2016 must be
removed by January 22, 2017.
Fall 2016
Incomplete grades earned during Fall 2016 must be
removed by June 14, 2017.
Spring 2017
Incomplete grades earned during Spring 2017 must be
removed by November 10, 2017.
Summer 2017
Incomplete grades earned during Summer 2017 must be
removed by January 28, 2018.
RETROACTIVE GRADE CHANGE
A retroactive grade change is a change in an officially
recorded grade. A grade becomes officially recorded when
the Registrar so stipulates. Except to correct clerical errors
or to resolve an incomplete grade (see Incomplete Grades),
a retroactive grade change is an extraordinary action and is
Academic Regulations
2016–17 UNCG Undergraduate Bulletin
39
granted only in the most compelling circumstances. No
change may occur unless the instructor who gave the grade
initiates the formal process of a retroactive grade change.
The change must also be approved by the instructor’s
department head and by the instructor’s dean.
Students who seek a retroactive grade change to a W are
referred to the section on Withdrawing from Courses
Retroactively in the Course Withdrawal Policy.
Retroactive grade changes are not made for students who
have graduated.
SEMESTER HOUR CREDITS
Credits for all courses are reported in semester hours. A
semester hour credit equals one 50-minute class period per
week or its equivalent throughout one semester. The
number of semester hour credits given for each course is
listed as part of the course description.
Majors—Declaring or
Changing
Notification of the University Registrar's Office or the
college, school, or departmental office is required when a
student declares or changes major.
Declaring a Major
Many students declare a major when accepted into the
university or during orientation programs, before initially
registering for courses. Those who enter the university
with an “undecided” major should declare a major prior to
the completion of 45 semester hours. To earn a degree in a
timely manner, several academic departments recommend
that students declare a major even earlier in the academic
career. Students should contact the department of the
intended major for further information.
Changing a Major
Students planning to change their majors should do so well
in advance of the next registration period in order to be
assigned to a new advisor and to receive adequate advising
in the department or advising center of the new major.
Other Regulations
REQUIREMENTS FOR A SECOND
BACCALAUREATE DEGREE
A student with a bachelor’s degree may receive a second
baccalaureate degree if it is a different degree or a different
major. In such a case, all the requirements for the second
degree and major as stated in the catalog which the student
is entitled to follow must be met. In any case, a minimum
of 31 hours in residence beyond requirements for the first
degree must be completed.
Meeting requirements for a second major does not qualify
a student to receive a second degree. See Second Majors
under the College of Arts and Sciences in the Acadmic
Units and Areas of Study section.
SIMULTANEOUS DEGREES
A student may receive two degrees at the same time if the
requirements for both degrees are met. A minimum of 31
hours in residence beyond the requirements for the first
degree must be completed (e.g., if the first degree requires
122 semester hours, a total of 153 hours must be
completed).
HONORS FOR SECOND DEGREE RECIPIENTS
AND TRANSFER STUDENTS
To maintain equity with students who have attended all
four years at UNCG and who may have a semester GPA
that would qualify them for honors, the following policy is
in place: Any second degree candidate or degree candidate
who transferred to UNCG from another institution is
eligible for graduation with honors who, at the end of the
final year, has completed toward the degree (in the case of
second degree students, toward the second degree) at least
45 hours of work in residence at UNCG and has earned the
requisite grade point average.
DUAL REGISTRATION AS UNDERGRADUATE AND
GRADUATE
Undergraduate students at UNCG who plan to undertake
graduate study at UNCG, and who lack no more than 12
semester hours of work to fulfill all requirements for the
bachelor’s degree, may enroll in the Graduate School.
Total graduate credit obtained in this dual status may not
exceed 12 semester hours. Students must apply for
admission to a graduate program before requests for dual
registration can be approved, but do not have to be
formally admitted until the end of the semester in which
credit is earned. For dual registration status, the approval
of the Dean of the Graduate School and the student’s major
advisor are required.
Students should be advised that approval for dual
registration neither guarantees nor constitutes acceptance
into any graduate program.
Academic Regulations
40 2016–17 UNCG Undergraduate Bulletin
Placement Examinations
Placement tests are administered each summer during
orientation (SOAR) and each semester during the advising
and registration period by the departments concerned.
The results of placement tests in French, Latin, and
Spanish are binding for student placement in courses.
Students may enroll in mathematics courses at the level at
which they place or in lower level courses. Students will
neither receive credit nor will they be exempt from
university distribution requirements based on their
performance on the tests.
AMERICAN SIGN LANGUAGE PLACEMENT
EXAMINATIONS
All students who have had prior experience with American
Sign Language in high school or elsewhere, or who are
deaf or hard of hearing and consider themselves native
signers, or who are transfer students must take the
placement exam to enroll in SES 102 American Sign
Language II through SES 306 American Sign Language
VI. The American Sign Language placement exam is
offered at the beginning of each semester. The test takes
approximately one hour to an hour and a half and is a
written and performance exam. A study guide and
additional information is provided on the Professions in
Deafness Program Web site: www.uncg.edu/ses/ses_deaf.
FRENCH, LATIN, AND SPANISH PLACEMENT
TESTS
Students who started French, Latin, or Spanish in
secondary school and who are beginning their study of that
language at UNCG must take a placement test. All transfer
students returning to the study of French, Latin, or Spanish
begun in high school but not previously pursued at the
college level must also take the placement test. Students
who are transferring credits in these languages from
another college need not take the test in order to continue
the same language at UNCG. See Languages, Literatures,
and Cultures in the Departments section for more
information about the French and Spanish placement tests.
MATHEMATICS PLACEMENT TEST
The Math Placement Tests will determine your eligibility
to enroll in MAT 120, MAT 190, or MAT 191. Certain
entry level courses have no prerequisites; students who
wish to enroll in MAT 112, MAT 115, MAT 150, or STA
108 may do so without a placement test.
All students with a sufficiently strong mathematics
background are encouraged to take the placement test prior
to registering for a math course. More information,
including the request form, can be found at
www.uncg.edu/mat/undergraduate/mathplacetest.html.
PLACEMENT WITHOUT CREDIT
Students with exceptional ability are encouraged to take
examinations for placement without credit in order to take
advantage of opportunities for advanced courses and for
individual research or other creative endeavors.
Examinations for placement without credit will be
administered by the departments or schools concerned. It is
recommended that departments or schools make available
to interested students reading lists and other source
material that might assist the students in preparing for the
examination.
Passing an examination of this type will not alter the
number of hours required in that area or subject.
Successful completion of an examination for placement at
the 100 level in the student’s major field shall have the
effect of increasing the number of hours accepted toward
graduation above the 100 level by the number of hours so
waived.
In all cases in which requirements of prerequisites are
waived, by placement examination or other means, this
fact should be reported in writing by the appropriate
department head to the University Registrar's Office and
should be entered on the student’s record.
SPECIAL EXAMINATION FOR CREDIT
In exceptional circumstances, students may attempt to
establish academic credit through a Special Examination
upon the recommendation of the department or school and
under the supervision of the University Registrar.
Only those courses that are designated by the department
or school may be credited by special examination. The
department or school shall administer a written
examination, except in cases where mastery of techniques
may be demonstrated in other formats. Applications for the
exam shall be made to the University Registrar with the
written permission of the head of the department or school,
at least 30 days before the examination. A nonrefundable
fee will be charged, and is payable in the Cashiers and
Student Accounts Office.
Examinations must be taken before the last semester or 12-
week summer session preceding the completion of the
student’s degree requirements. Students may not be tested
in material for which they received high school credit, and
transfer students may not extend the number of hours
allowed in transfer by this method. Credit will not be given
for a prerequisite to a course for which the student has
already received credit. No examination may be given in a
course for which the student has registered for audit.
No more than 12 semester hours may be earned toward
graduation by this procedure. The School of Nursing has a
special exemption to present 30 semester hours by the
Academic Regulations
2016–17 UNCG Undergraduate Bulletin

Special Examination Program. Credits earned in this
manner may not be used to fulfill residency requirements.
A student must consult in advance with the faculty advisor
and with the head of the department or school concerned
and file evidence of having prepared for the exam.
Assistance should be given to the student in developing
reading lists and other source material.
Results of all examinations shall be reported to the
Registrar before the first day of the next registration
period. Credit, but no grade points, will be granted when
the level of performance is C or better.
Registering for Courses
Dates for advising and registration periods for each
semester are published in the university's academic
calendar and on the University Registrar’s Office Web site.
It is the student’s responsibility to be aware of all
registration and advising periods. Registration for courses
at UNCG is an automated process conducted through
UNCGenie, UNCG’s student information system, which
provides students with Web registration access.
REGISTRATION PROCESS
New Freshman students register for courses during the
summer orientation programs (SOAR) or after the
completion of their orientation programs at the beginning
of a semester.
Transfer, Former, or unclassified students receive
registration instructions by e-mail before the beginning of
each semester’s registration period.
Inter-Institutional Registration
UNCG students desiring to take courses at one of the
Greater Greensboro Consortium schools or one of the
North Carolina inter-institutional schools should obtain a

their faculty advisors for assistance with course selection
and to obtain semester advising codes. New advising codes
are issued for the next semester during the advising period.
Undergraduates must use advising codes to access the
UNCGenie registration system.
Steps to Graduation
By the beginning of the semester or summer session in
which graduation is expected, undergraduates must
officially apply for graduation to the University Registrar.
Fulfillment of all requirements for the degree applied for,
as well as official application for the degree, are the
student’s responsibilities.
ACADEMIC REQUIREMENTS
Candidates for a baccalaureate degree must satisfy all of
the specific requirements of UNCG and of the
School/College and department in which they major. They
must present for graduation the specific number of
semester hours required for the degree with a minimum
cumulative overall grade point average of at least 2.0 on all
hours undertaken.
At least 36 of the total semester hours for the degree must
be at the 300 level or above.
GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS
Students must complete the specific number of semester
hours required for the degree with a minimum cumulative
overall grade point average of at least 2.0 on all hours
undertaken; at least 36 of the total semester hours for the

complete at least 31 semester hours in residence at UNCG
for the degree.
RESIDENCE REQUIREMENTS
All students must complete at least 31 semester hours in
residence at UNCG for the degree, 12 of which must be in
the major field and 9 of which must be in the minor if a
minor is sought. After enrollment, Extension credit and
Correspondence courses offered by UNCG are considered
residence credit; however, credit earned by special
examination is not considered residence credit.
TIME REQUIREMENTS
General Education Requirements
The following policies regard time allowed for completion
of GEC and GEC + CAR requirements. The Office of the
University Registrar can provide additional details.
Academic Regulations
42 2016–17 UNCG Undergraduate Bulletin
GEC or GEC + CAR Requirements
Students must meet the General Education or General
Education and College Additional Requirements for
graduation as stated in this Undergraduate Bulletin in
effect at the time of original enrollment at UNCG. If the
student fails to graduate within seven years, however, the
university
1
has the option of enforcing
1. the original requirements, or
2. the GEC or GEC + CAR requirements in effect at the
time the seven year period expired, or
3. the GEC or GEC + CAR requirements in effect at the
time of re-enrollment if the student withdrew.
1
Typically, the UNCG Office of the University Registrar
will make the choice among these options in consultation
with the department in which the student chooses to major.
Major Requirements
Students must meet the departmental major requirements
in effect when the student declares or, if required by the
department, is formally admitted to a school/college major.
If the student fails to graduate within seven years,
however, the university* has the option of enforcing
1. the original requirements,
2. the major requirements in effect at the time the seven
year period expired, or
3. the major requirements in effect at the time of re-
enrollment if the student withdrew.
*Typically, the department in which the student chooses to
major will make the choice among these options in
consultation with the UNCG Office of the Dean of
Undergraduate Studies.
APPLICATION FOR GRADUATION
All undergraduate students are required to file an
application for graduation with the University Registrar’s
Office at the beginning of the semester in which they plan
to graduate. The online degree application is available via
UNCGenie.
This application is required for processing the final degree
audit and for printing diplomas. See the topic
Miscellaneous Fees and Expenses in the Expenses,
Payments, and Refunds section. The fee is nonrefundable.
The deadline dates for filing are also published each year
in the Academic Calendar and on the University
Registrar’s Office Web site.
Students who do not graduate in the semester for which
they file a graduation application must refile for the next
term in which they expect to complete their degrees.
Applications are accepted for a short period of time beyond
the published deadlines in order to allow for extenuating
circumstances; however, once the application for a term is
disabled and deemed closed, students must apply to
graduate for the next available term. These deadlines are
not negotiable as notification of the candidates for
graduation are submitted to the Board of Trustees for
official action shortly after the deadline dates for filing
each term.
GRADUATION WITH LATIN HONORS
Graduation with Latin honors is based on all courses
(including the last semester’s work) for which grades and
grade points are given. Any senior is eligible for honors
who, at the end of the senior year, has completed at least
45 hours of work in residence at UNCG. This does not
include hours for which credit and grade points have been
received by special examinations. Honors information
printed in the commencement program is based on course
work completed through the previous semester, as is the
list provided for the purchase of honor cords.
Latin honors are awarded to graduating seniors as follows:
Summa cum laude (with highest honor)
achievement of a minimum grade point average of 3.90
Magna cum laude (with great honor)
achievement of a minimum grade point average of 3.70
Cum laude (with honor)
achievement of a minimum grade point average of 3.50
Honors for Second Degree Recipients and Transfer
Students
To maintain equity with students who have attended all
four years at UNCG and who may have a semester GPA
that would qualify them for honors, the following policy is
in place: Any second degree candidate or degree candidate
who transferred to UNCG from another institution is
eligible for graduation with honors who, at the end of the
final year, has completed toward the degree (in the case of
second degree students, toward the second degree) at least
45 hours of work in residence at UNCG and has earned the
requisite grade point average.
COMMENCEMENT CEREMONIES
Commencement ceremonies are held in May and
December of each year; there is no formal ceremony in
August. The names of August degree recipients are printed

University Directory
Information
The University Registrar's Office maintains student
demographic data and provides it for the online University
Directory.
Release of Student Directory Information
Unless a student requests in writing to the contrary, federal
law permits the university to release Directory Information
to the public without the student’s consent.
Directory Information is information in a student's
education record that would not generally be considered
harmful or an invasion of privacy if disclosed. At UNC
Greensboro, Directory Information consists of:
• Student's first and last name
• Major field of study
• Dates of attendance
• Enrollment status
• Anticipated graduation date
• Degrees awarded
• Awards (including scholarships)
Additionally, UNC Greensboro designates some
information as Limited-Use Directory Information. The
use and disclosure of this information is restricted to: (1)
university officials who have access, consistent with
FERPA, to such information and only in conjunction with
a legitimate educational interest and (2) external parties
contractually affiliated with the university, provided such
affiliation requires the sharing of Limited-Use Directory
Information. Limited-Use Directory Information consists
of:
• Local and permanent address
• Student e-mail addresss
• County, state, or US territory from which the student
originally enrolled
• Telephone numbers
• Participation in officially recognized activities and
sports
• Weight and height of members of athletic teams
• The most recent previous educational agency attended
by the student
Suppression of Student Directory Information
Under the 1974 Family Educational Rights and Privacy
Act (FERPA), the student has the right to request in
writing that the disclosure of this information be withheld
from persons outside the university. Please note that this
information can only be suppressed from the public, not
from university officials. The suppression request includes
both Directory Information and Limited-Use Directory
Information as defined by UNC Greensboro policy.
A student must file a form requesting suppression of
information with the University Registrar’s Office. A
request to suppress information must be filed while the
student is still enrolled at the university.
Once a student’s information is suppressed, it will not be
printed in the Commencement Program upon the student’s
graduation, without the student’s written consent. The
suppression of information remains in effect until revoked
in writing by the student, even after the student is no
longer enrolled at the university. Former students may
request in writing that earlier suppression requests be
revoked.
Academic Regulations
46 2016–17 UNCG Undergraduate Bulletin
Parents’ Information
Information concerning parents of students (names,
addresses, phone numbers, etc.) is not made available as it
is not considered directory information.
Release of Grades and GPA Information
Grades and grade point averages are never released to
agencies or persons outside the university without the
written consent of the student, unless otherwise provided
for by law. Grades and GPA information are not given out
over the telephone.
Withdrawal from the University
Undergraduate students who find that they must withdraw
from the university can do so by withdrawing from all
courses through UNCGenie. Undergraduates who
withdraw from all courses are considered to be withdrawn
from the university and must seek reactivation or
readmission through Undergraduate Admissions to return
to school in subsequent terms.
Students withdrawing from the university within the first
eight weeks of the term will be indicated on the transcript
with a grade of WT (Withdrawn - Total). All WT courses
count as attempted hours and are subject to financial aid
and Satisfactory Academic Progress rules and calculations;
they do not count in academic standing calculations, GPA
calculation, or tuition surcharge calculations.
If a student withdraws from the university after the eight-
week deadline, WF grades will be recorded. WF grades are
calculated in the student’s GPA as F (failing) grades.
MILITARY CALL-UP POLICY
Leaving Prior to the Completion of a Term
A student voluntarily or involuntarily called for active
military duty in the Armed Services Reserve or the
National Guard is eligible to elect one of the following
options for leaving prior to the completion of a term:
A. Complete Withdrawal Option (without academic
penalty)
• Tuition and general fees are fully refundable.
• Health fees are generally fully refundable, except for
students who have used UNCG health services. These
students would be billed at the service rate to a
maximum charge equivalent to the health fee. Students
who have enrolled in the Student Health Insurance
program should contact the Agent for information on a
pro-rated refund of premium.
• Room and board is refunded based on the number of
weeks the room is occupied and the meals consumed.
• The student is still responsible for all miscellaneous
charges such as library fines, parking tickets, health
service charges, etc.
In order to be eligible for a refund under these guidelines,
the student must contact the University Registrar's Office
and provide the following:
• a copy of his or her call-up papers; these serve as
documentation for the refund of tuition and fees
• a mailing address to which the student would like the
refund to be sent
The University Registrar's Office will notify appropriate
offices of the student's withdrawal including
Undergraduate Studies, the Graduate School, Financial Aid
Office, Housing and Residence Life, and the Cashiers and
Student Accounts Office.
In order for a student living in UNCG housing to receive a
refund from the Department of Housing and Residence
Life, room keys must be returned to the appropriate office.
If a student is receiving financial aid when called to active
duty, financial aid must be repaid according to federal and
state guidelines before a refund will be issued by the
UNCG.
B. Early Exam Option
A student who is required to report for military duty not
earlier than four calendar weeks prior to the date a
semester ends as stated in the official catalog of the UNCG
(or after completion of at least 75% of the enrollment
period in a non-standard semester) may, when authorized
by the instructor, take the final exam early and be given
full credit for all courses that have an average grade of C or
better. Students are not eligible for refunds for which they
receive credit.
C. Incomplete Grade Option
A student who is required to report for military duty prior
to the completion of a term may take a grade of incomplete
in a course and complete it upon release from active duty.
Course completion may be accomplished by independent
study or by retaking the course without payment of tuition
and fees. Under federal financial aid policies, a course that
is retaken in this manner may not be counted toward a
student's enrollment load. An eligible student who receives
an incomplete for any course is not entitled to a refund of
tuition or fees paid.
Returning to UNCG Within the Same Term
A student called for active duty and subsequently released
within the time frame to re-enroll during the semester of
Academic Regulations
2016–17 UNCG Undergraduate Bulletin
47
withdrawal may pursue re-enrollment within the same
term. UNCG will make every effort to accommodate the
request. Individual contacts with faculty involved will
determine appropriateness of returning to a course.
Returning to UNCG at the Start of a New
Term
A student voluntarily or involuntarily called for active
military duty in the Armed Services, Armed Services
Reserves, or the National Guard who wants to return to
UNCG must submit an application for readmission to
UNCG Undergraduate Admissions.
The returning student is eligible to have the application fee
waived if:
1. The student selects the option to pay by check during
the application process.
2. The student notifies the UNCG VA Certifying Official
of the intent to return and provides a copy of orders,
confirming dates of call to active duty.
The re-enrolled student is technically ineligible to
participate in early registration for the term of re-
enrollment; however, UNCG will arrange a priority
window to assist the student in returning with appropriate
classes that are applicable toward the field of study.

Undergraduate Degrees and
Degree Requirements
UNDERGRADUATE DEGREES
UNCG offers six baccalaureate degrees:
B.A. Bachelor of Arts
B.F.A. Bachelor of Fine Arts
B.M. Bachelor of Music
B.S. Bachelor of Science
B.S.N. Bachelor of Science in Nursing
B.S.W. Bachelor of Social Work
REQUIREMENTS FOR A BACHELOR’S DEGREE
A bachelor’s degree from UNCG is awarded to a student
who has met the following requirements:
1. Successful completion of a minimum of 122 semester
hours, distributed as follows:
a. General education core (GEC): 36–37 s.h.
(minimum)
b. General education marker courses (may also satisfy
General Education core and/or major requirements)
c. Additional College/School requirements
d. Major subject and related areas: as required by
program
e. Electives: as required by program
Total minimum s.h.: 122
2. A grade point average on the semester hours attempted
of not less than 2.0
3. At least 36 s.h. of courses at the 300 course level or
above
4. At least 31 s.h. in residence at UNCG, 12 of which
must be in the major field and nine (9) of which must
be in the minor if a minor is sought
The College of Arts and Sciences and each of the five
professional schools—Joseph M. Bryan School of
Business and Economics; Education; Health and Human
Sciences; Music, Theatre, and Dance; and Nursing—have
structured their individual degree programs to comply with
this all-university degree framework.
Students who are undecided about their major are advised
through the College of Arts and Sciences Advising Center
(CASA). CASA advisors help these students determine the
major program (in the College or one of the professional
schools) that is best suited for them while they complete
courses in the General Education Core.
AVERAGE TIME TO GRADUATION
Many factors affect both the length of time and the number
of semester hours an individual student will require to
complete the baccalaureate degree. At UNCG the median
number of months to graduation for full time students is
46. The median number of credit hours completed is 125.
Full time undergraduate students are expected to complete
at least 12 hours per semester. Failure to complete an
average of 15 hours per semester may lengthen the
student’s time to graduation. Some majors do require
formal admission beyond that required for admission to the
University in general.
Students should meet with their academic advisors
regularly to plan their academic schedules. To graduate,
students must complete specific University requirements as
well as requirements within the major. Students who
change majors may find that additional requirements must
be fulfilled. Changing majors excessively, or after the third
or fourth semester of study, may also lengthen the time to
graduation. Also see Tuition Surcharge.
Criteria for admission to a specific major (outlined in this
Bulletin) and continuation in that major may include a
University grade point average exceeding that required for
continuation within the University as a whole. Students
considering such majors should become familiar with the
guidelines, and work with an academic advisor as soon as
possible to ensure that they meet the criteria.
CHANGES IN DEGREE REQUIREMENTS AND
OTHER REGULATIONS
The University reserves the right to make changes as
required in course offerings, curricula, academic policies,
and other rules and regulations affecting students, to be
effective whenever determined by the University. These
changes will govern current and formerly enrolled
students. Enrollment of all students is subject to these
conditions.

General Education Program
The UNCG General Education Program, approved by the
UNCG Faculty Senate in March 2000, is effective for new
undergraduates entering UNCG in Fall 2001 and
thereafter. The Speaking Intensive (SI) General Education
Marker requirement became effective Fall 2002.
Philosophy of UNCG's General Education
Program
The faculty and staff of The University of North Carolina
at Greensboro are dedicated to student learning and believe
that the best evidence of this commitment is the caliber of
UNCG graduates. A UNCG graduate should combine
specialized education in a major with the skills,
knowledge, and understanding necessary to be a lifelong
learner, an ethical and independent decision maker, a
critical and creative thinker, a clear and effective
communicator, and a responsible citizen.
The character and abilities of an educated person are the
product not solely of a specific battery of courses but of an
entire process of education. The mandate to foster the
knowledge, character, and sensibility of a university-
educated person belongs to the entire university, not to a
single department or unit. To the extent possible, learning
in the General Education Core should provide foundations
and alternative perspectives for the more specialized
knowledge gained in the major, while learning in the major
should build upon and extend the work that is done in
general education courses.
UNCG General Education Mission and Goals
The faculty and staff of The University of North Carolina
at Greensboro embrace student learning as its highest
priority. Our General Education Program provides students
with the foundational knowledge, skills, and values
necessary to be critical and creative thinkers, ethical
decision-makers, effective communicators, and
collaborative and engaged global citizens. The breadth of
General Education empowers our students to thrive as
lifelong learners who lead personally fulfilling lives. The
mandate to foster an educated person belongs to the entire
university, not to a single department, unit, or cocurricular
program. Thus, the General Education Program provides
foundations and alternative perspectives for the more
specialized knowledge gained in the major. Likewise, the
major builds upon and integrates knowledge, skills, and
attitudes learned in General Education courses and the
cocurriculum.

[GPR, GSB, GL, GN]
LG5. Personal, Civic, and Professional Development:
Develop a capacity for active citizenship, ethics, social
responsibility, personal growth, and skills for lifelong
learning in a global society. In so doing, students will
engage in free and open inquiry that fosters mutual respect
across multiple cultures and perspectives . [GFA, GPR,
GNS, GSB, GL, GN]
To ensure that students attain these Student Learning Goals
by graduation, UNCG requires that they complete the
General Education Core (GEC) requirements listed in this
Bulletin. Other requirements and opportunities in the major
program, the minor program (if any), and the total
undergraduate experience build on the foundation of the
GEC and contribute to the attainment of these goals.
Students are thus given the opportunity to work toward
each goal not just in one course, but in a series of courses
and learning experiences encountered from the freshman
through the senior year. Alternative ways to demonstrate
competencies will be available to students with
documented disabilities.
Approved by Faculty Senate on April 1, 2009; Approved by
the General Faculty on April 29, 2009.
Amended by the Faculty Senate on April 7, 2010.

interconnections among regions of the world, interpret and
evaluate information on diverse ecologies, human
societies, artistic achievements, or political systems, and
gain sensitivity to cultural differences on a global scale.
Global Non-Western (GN)
In a course in any subject, students focus on the
interconnections among regions of the world other than
North America, Great Britain, and continental Europe,
interpret and evaluate information on diverse ecologies,
human societies, artiste achievements, or political systems,
and gain sensitivity to cultural differences on a global
scale.
Speaking Intensive (SI)
In a course in any subject, students receive instruction in
an appropriate mode of oral communication (interpersonal
or small group communication, or presentational
speaking), and enhanced opportunities to practice
improvement of oral communication skills.
Writing Intensive (WI)

discipline; a second WI course and a second SI course are
to be taken in the major. Please note that the College of
Arts and Sciences requires additional WI courses.
Throughout the year, Writing Intensive (WI) and Speaking
Intensive (SI) courses are approved for offering by the
Writing Intensive and Speaking Intensive Committees.
Since most WI and SI courses are approved to carry the WI
or SI marker only for specific instructors or only for a
given term, lists of WI and SI courses are not published in
the Undergraduate Bulletin.
Enrollment in certain Writing Intensive and Speaking
Intensive courses is restricted to majors in that program.
Students should always be aware of course prerequisites
and other course restrictions as stated in this Bulletin
before attempting to register for a course.
Basic Technology
Competencies
UNCG recognizes that the ability to utilize appropriate
technologies is an essential proficiency for a university
graduate in the twenty-first century. The university has
established a list of Basic Technology Competencies in the
categories of computer operation; setup; maintenance and
troubleshooting; word processing; spreadsheet/graphing;
library research; networking; telecommunication; use of
Internet/Web; media communications; and multimedia
integration. The list of these competencies is available as
an on-line resource, and provides several means available
to UNCG students for acquiring each competency, with
options that include campus workshops, computer lab staff
University Requirements
2016–17 UNCG Undergraduate Bulletin
53
support, and Web sites. Go to UNCG Basic Technology
Competencies to view and access these resources.
UNCG students are expected to use a variety of these basic
technology competencies and additional competencies
relevant to their fields of study. Incoming students should
review the basic competencies and work to correct any
deficiencies.
Information and Research
Skills Competencies
In addition to basic technology skills, information literacy,
which is the acquisition of information skills and research
competencies, is an important Learning Goal of the
General Education Program. Familiarity with information
resources is essential in acquiring such skills, and these
skills should be integrated into the academic curriculum.
To assist students in gaining these skills, UNCG’s
university Libraries offers two levels of information
literacy instruction to undergraduates:
1. First-Year Undergraduates—students achieve
orientation to research skills by completing the
Library’s Web tutorial and/or attending an instructional
session, led by a librarian, that is integrated into one of
their courses.
2. Upper Division Undergraduates—students who have
not achieved the objectives of library instruction for
first-year students may use the Library’s Web tutorials
designed for this purpose. In addition, more advanced
skills may be gained through sessions that relate
directly to course assignments and are arranged by
teaching faculty for specific classes. Librarians tailor
instruction to specific disciplines and assignments and
also meet with students to offer individual assistance.
See
http://library.uncg.edu/info/help/classes_and_tours.aspx
and http://library.uncg.edu/research/tutorials/ for additional
information.

Course Numbers and Levels
Course level numbers are structured as follows:
• 100–199—intended primarily for freshmen
• 200–299—intended primarily for sophomores
• 300–399—intended primarily for juniors
• 400–499—intended primarily for seniors
• 500–599—intended for advanced undergraduates and
graduate students; these courses are not open to
freshmen and sophomores
• 600–749—registration restricted to students who are
classified as graduate students
• 750–799—registration restricted to students admitted to
doctoral programs
Undergraduates are reminded that a minimum of 36
semester hours must be completed at the 300 level or
above to meet graduation requirements.
Course descriptions for graduate-level courses (600 and
700 level) are printed in the Graduate School Bulletin.
Course Credit Hours
Course credit, or semester, hours are indicated in
parentheses immediately following the course title. The
first figure indicates the number of semester hour credits
awarded for the course. The second and third figures
indicate the number of lecture/seminar and
laboratory/studio/practice hours normally scheduled each
week during the semester in the course.
For example, (3:2:3) indicates the course carries three
semester hour credits, meets for two lecture/seminar hours
and three laboratory/studio hours each week.
When only two figures appear in the parentheses, there are
no laboratory or studio hour requirements. For example,
(3:3) indicates that the course carries three semester hour
credits and meets for three lecture/seminar hours per week.
Graduate courses and certain other courses may have only
one figure enclosed in parentheses, which indicates only
the number of semester hours credit given.
Normally, a class period is 50 minutes in length for each
semester hour given.
Two course numbers separated by a comma indicate a
sequence of two courses with closely related content.

University Requirements
2016–17 UNCG Undergraduate Bulletin
57
Cross-Listed Courses
Each semester a number of courses are cross-listed with
courses taught in a different department. These courses
meet in the same room at the same time but have different
course prefixes and may have different numbers. Cross-
listed courses are listed under the Cross Listed Courses
heading (“Same as . . .”). Students should be aware of
cross-listings before registering in order to avoid taking a
course for which they will not receive additional credit.
Frequency of Course Offering
Many courses indicate the semester(s) in which they are
usually offered. This information is listed under the
Offered heading:
• (Fall & Spring)—course usually offered both fall and
spring semesters.
• (Fall & Spring & Summer)—course usually offered fall
and spring semesters and summer session.
• (Fall or Spring)—course usually offered either fall or
spring semesters.
• (Fall or Spring or Summer)—course may be offered
fall semester, or spring semester, or summer session.
• (Fall or Spring or Winter)—course may be offered fall
semester, or spring semester, or winter session.

• (Summer)—course usually offered summer only.
• (Alt)—course usually offered only in alternate
semesters or years.
• (Even, Odd)—course usually offered in even or odd
semesters or years.
• (Occ)—course offered occasionally.
Students should also be aware that regularly scheduled
undergraduate classes for which fewer than ten students
enroll (or graduate classes for which fewer than five
students enroll) will be offered only with special approval
of the Provost. If enrollment does not justify continuation
of a class, the class may not be offered that semester.
General Education Requirement Abbreviations
See the General Education Program topic in the University
Requirements section.
Other Course Restrictions
Some courses carry additional restrictions (Freshmen only;
Majors only; etc.). Such restrictions are also listed in the
prerequisite notation.
Repeat-for-Credit Notation
Some courses may be repeated for credit under special
circumstances. Such information is listed in the Notes.
Grading Method
Courses are graded by letter grade (A–F) unless otherwise
noted in the course description. If a course is graded other
than by letter grade, this information is stated after the
prerequisite listing. Also see the topic on Grading in the
Academic Regulations and Policies Section.
Pass/Not Pass Courses
Undergraduate/advanced undergraduate courses that are
graded P/NP (Pass/Not Pass) or S/U
(Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory) and are so noted in their
descriptions.
Equivalent Course Credit
A number of undergraduate courses have course content
that is considered equivalent to other similar courses. The
course entry in this bulletin will contain a notation under
the Notes heading—such as “Students may not earn credit
for both . . ." Students should be aware of such
equivalencies before registering in order to avoid taking a
course for which they will not receive additional credit.
UNDERGRADUATE AREAS OF STUDY
Undergraduate areas of study include all majors,
concentrations, teacher licensure programs, minors, and
second majors that are available to UNCG students. Each
area of study carries a unique code, which is used to
identify the program. Students seeking a baccalaureate
degree must select a primary major, and may, after
consultation with an advisor, also select a minor or a
second major. See Undergraduate AOS (Area of Study)
Codes in the Academic References section.
Also refer to the Academic Units section for a complete
list of available areas of study by school and/or
department.
MAJOR DESCRIPTION AND PROGRAM
REQUIREMENTS
A major is a formalized curricular program leading to a
degree. A concentration is a formalized curricular sequence
established to achieve a specific goal within a major. Each
academic unit or department establishes the course
requirements for each major program, concentrations
within a major, and related area requirements. All program
requirements follow the general structure described below.
University Requirements
58 2016–17 UNCG Undergraduate Bulletin
Major Description
The following information is always included at the
beginning of the major listing:
1. Name of major
2. Degree awarded
3. Total hours required for the degree
4. Area of Study Codes (AOS)
5. Concentrations available (if more than one area of
study is available)
Program Admission Requirements
Special program admission and/or continuation
requirements, if any, are listed immediately following the
description of the major and degree. A number of
programs have requirements that must be met before the
student can be formally admitted to the major and
permitted to take upper-level courses. Such requirements
usually involve completion of foundation courses,
achievement of a certain GPA, and completion of a
specified number of semester hours. Certain programs
require portfolio review or audition for admission.
Program Course Requirements
General Education Requirements
All students completing undergraduate degrees at UNCG
are required to complete General Education Core and
Marker Requirements. All undergraduate programs follow
General Education requirements. Most programs in the
College of Arts & Sciences have College Additional
Requirements (CAR) in addition to the General Education
requirements. General Education core and marker
requirements, including specific courses specified by the
program, are listed prior to the major requirements.
Major Requirements
Major requirements include all courses that must be taken
within the major department for completion of the degree.
All undergraduate majors require a minimum of 27 hours
in the major program of study.
Majors that provide students with more than one
concentration or area of study within the major will usually
separate the Major Requirements into Core Requirements
and Additional Concentration Requirements. Core courses
are those courses required of all students in the major,
regardless of concentration. Concentration requirements
are additional courses required only for a specific
concentration.
A program of study taken by a student as a second major,
in addition to the student’s primary major, must meet all
requirements as stated for that major. For example, a
student pursuing English as the primary major who wishes
to obtain a second major in French, must meet all the
requirements for the English major as well as those for the
French major.
Related Area Requirements
A number of majors require courses from other
departments or programs for completion of the degree.
Such courses are listed as “Related Area” requirements
following the major requirements.
Teacher Licensure Requirements
Programs that lead to teacher licensure also list teacher
licensure requirements.
Second Academic Concentration Requirements for
Teacher Licensure Programs
Several teacher licensure programs require students to
complete a second academic concentration in addition to
the primary major program. Students in teacher education
programs should check with their advisors or with the
School of Education Licensure Programs for available
second academic concentrations.
Electives
Most programs do not specify which electives a student
must take although some may make suggestions. Electives
are those courses taken to complete the hours required for
the degree after fulfilling General Education requirements
and major, related and/or other program requirements.
MINORS
A minor is a formalized curricular sequence taken by a
student outside his or her major area of study. Programs
that can be taken as minors are described following
descriptions of the major and second major. A minimum of
15 hours in a department is required to complete an area of
study as a minor. Several areas of study can be taken only
as minors. See individual programs for details.
SPECIAL CURRICULUM OPTION (PLAN II)
For students whose needs are not met by the formal majors
and degrees offered at UNCG, a special curriculum
option—called Plan II—allows students to design their
own course of study in consultation with appropriate
faculty.
Students desiring to pursue Plan II should be advised that
there is no guarantee that their proposed program will lead
to graduation until it has been fully approved. Developing
a program is a time consuming process, often taking one
year from initial intent to final approval. Students must file
a statement of intent to pursue Plan II with the Students
First Office prior to registering for their last 45 hours.
Required steps have been adopted by the Undergraduate
Curriculum Committee for approving Plan II programs.
University Requirements
2016–17 UNCG Undergraduate Bulletin
59
The following is an abbreviated description of the
procedures that must be followed:
1. Consult with the director of the Students First Office
regarding general requirements and procedures. All
general university requirements and minimum
admission requirements for the desired departmental
programs must be met by any Plan II program.
2. Select a faculty advisor with expertise in the
interdisciplinary major.
3. Select another member of the faculty to serve on an

Student Outcomes
Assessments
UNCG requires students to participate in student outcomes
assessments from time to time prior to their graduation.
Most of these activities consist of in-class assessments.
However, students may also be invited to complete tests
measuring other learning outcomes such as information
literacy or science. These tests may occur outside of the
classroom and at different times in a student’s career.
Scores on these tests are not used to evaluate students on
an individual basis, but are used to evaluate learning across
the university’s programs. Participation is expected.

Through its programs, courses, and faculty, the College of
Arts and Sciences empowers students to succeed
by embracing the challenges of a complex, changing
world. A liberal education also prepares students for
informed and reflective participation in society, for
sustained cultural and aesthetic enjoyment, and for a
lifetime of learning.
The College of Arts and Sciences is composed of the
departments of Anthropology; Biology; Chemistry and
Biochemistry; Classical Studies; Communication Studies;
Computer Science; English; Geography; History; Interior
Architecture; Languages, Literatures, and Cultures;
Mathematics and Statistics; Media Studies; Philosophy;
Physics and Astronomy; Political Science; Psychology;
Religious Studies; and Sociology. The College also
includes Freshman Seminars, African American Studies,
Archaeology, Environmental and Sustainability Studies,
Humanities, Integrated Science, International and Global
Studies, Social Sciences, and Women’s and Gender
Studies.
CASA, the College advising center, provides academic
assistance for first-year students.
Major Requirements
Major requirements are described for each program listed.
A course cross-listed in the major department must be
taken within the major and counts toward the total hours in
the major.
Minor Requirements
Most departments and interdepartmental programs of the
College offer a minor program which may be taken in
conjunction with a major. A minor usually requires 15 to
21 hours in a department. No more than 8 of the
department hours may be taken at the 100 level and at least
9 hours must be taken in residence at UNCG.
Second Majors
A student may take a second major in conjunction with the
first major. This program requires a minimum of 27
semester hours in each of two approved majors. All
requirements of each major must be met; hours from the
second major can be applied toward General Education
requirements. A student with a first major outside the
College who chooses a second major in one of the College
departments is required to complete all of the departmental
requirements for the second major but need not satisfy the
Additional College General Education requirements
(CAR). In the case of transfer students, at least 15 hours in
each major must be taken at UNCG.

COLLEGE OF ARTS AND SCIENCES ADDITIONAL
REQUIREMENTS (CAR)
Freedom and self-motivation in the context of a rational
plan of disciplined study are fundamental to a liberal arts
education. Students are encouraged to seek relationships
among the various subjects studied and to develop a
coherent intellectual perspective. To aid in this process, the
College requirements build upon the university’s General
Education requirements.
In addition to the course requirements stated in the
university’s General Education Core (GEC), students
majoring in the College of Arts and Sciences must also
complete the following:
Humanities (Literature GLT, Fine Arts
GFA, Philosophical/Religious/Ethical
Perspectives GPR)
Students in the college must distribute the 12
semester hours required by GEC in the
Humanities as follows:
GLT, six (6) hours;
GFA, three (3) hours;
and GPR, three (3) hours.
Historical Perspectives (GEC: GHP; CAR:
GPM and GMO)
Students must complete a total of six (6) semester hours in
GHP courses, with one course chosen from the premodern
(GPM) list and one from the modern (GMO) list.
Natural Sciences (GEC: GNS; CAR: GLS and
GPS)
Students must complete a total of 9–10 semester hours in
GNS courses, with at least one course chosen from the Life
Science (GLS) list, and at least one course chosen from the
Physical Science (GPS) list. One of the three must include
a laboratory.
Social and Behavioral Sciences (GSB)
Students must complete a total of nine (9) semester hours
in GSB courses, with courses taken from at least two
different academic departments.
Foreign Language (GFL)
Students are required to demonstrate intermediate-level
proficiency in a foreign language. The typical sequence of
UNCG courses for foreign language is 101, 102, 203, and
204. The college considers successful completion of the
204 course a demonstration of proficiency. Students may
place out of one or more courses through a placement test.
Students whose high school courses were taught in a
foreign language may document their proficiency with a
high school transcript. Students who are proficient in a
language other than those taught at UNCG may submit a
letter of certification from a professor at any accredited
U.S. college or university documenting proficiency.
Six hours of foreign language course work, with the
exception of American Sign Language, may be used
toward the General Education marker requirement of 12
hours of Global (GL) or Global Non-Western (GN)
courses.
Petitions for exemption from the foreign language
requirement will be considered only in the most
exceptional circumstances when an otherwise qualified
student has submitted evidence that the Modified Foreign
Language Program in Spanish cannot provide appropriate
accommodations for his or her disability or language-
learning difficulty. Students with documented learning
disabilities or demonstrable long-standing difficulties
learning a foreign language can apply for the Modified
Foreign Language Program through which they may
demonstrate proficiency. In very rare cases, a substitution
for the 203 and/or 204 level of a foreign language may be
considered.
The following reasons do not merit an appeal:
• Change of major from a professional school to the
College of Arts and Sciences, or change within the
College of Arts and Sciences from a B.F.A. to a
B.A. degree.
• Concerns about grade point average (GPA)
• Dislike of the requirement
• Failure to plan adequately for the graduation
timeline, including interruptions of the foreign
language sequence that make future foreign
language success more difficult
• Failure to succeed in a single course
• Misunderstanding of the degree requirements
• Differences in General Education requirements
between the College of Arts and Sciences and
previously attended institutions
• Waivers or substitutions offered by previously
attended institutions
Please contact College of Arts and Sciences
Advising at 336-334-4361 for further information.
For information concerning the Modified Foreign
Language Program, see
Academic Units
62 2016–17 UNCG Undergraduate Bulletin
www.uncg.edu/llc/languages/spanish/modifiedFL.
html.
Students are reminded that they will be eligible
for election to the UNCG chapter of Phi Beta
Kappa only if they have completed the equivalent
of six semester hours of foreign language study,
excluding American Sign Language, at the
intermediate (203–204) college level.
Writing Intensive Courses (WI)
Students in the College of Arts and Sciences must
complete a total of four Writing Intensive (WI)
courses:
At least one of the four Writing Intensive courses
must be in the student’s primary major and at least
one must be in the upper division (300 and
above). A single course may satisfy both the
requirement for a course in the major and the
requirement for a course in the upper division, as
long as a total of four Writing Intensives are
taken.
Transfer students:
• Students with 30–59 transfer hours are required
to take three Writing Intensive courses. One of
the three must be in the student’s primary major
and at least one must be in the upper division
(300 and above). A single course may satisfy
both the requirement for a course in the major
and the requirement for a course in the upper
division, as long as a total of three Writing
Intensives are taken.
• Students with 60–89 transfer hours are required
to take two Writing Intensive courses. The two
courses may be at any level, but at least one
must be in the department or program of the
primary major.
• Students with 90 or more transfer hours must
take one Writing Intensive course. The course
may be at any level from the department or
program of the primary major.
NOTE: Writing Intensive courses may also meet
General Education Core category, marker, or
major requirements.
Students who obtain a score of 4 or higher on the
English Advanced Placement Literature and
Composition examination are exempted from one
of the Writing Intensive courses. Contact the
Department of English for further information.
All students in the college must fulfill the foregoing
College Additional Requirements (CAR). A course in the
major may be used to satisfy college requirements.
Requirements for each of the degrees offered by the
College of Arts and Sciences are included in the
descriptions of majors, concentrations, and minors under
the respective departments.

Mission Statement
In the Bryan School of Business and Economics, we create
and disseminate knowledge about the theory and practice
of business. In addition to our courses and research, we
accomplish this through hands-on projects, global
experiences, and outreach to the community. Our work
produces principled leaders and exceptional problem
solvers who have a global perspective, an innovative
mindset, a broad understanding of sustainability, and a
commitment to improve the organizations in which they
work and the communities in which they live.
Student Learning Goals
Each program within the Bryan school has separate
learning goals as listed with the degree program. The
essential components of a professional education in
business (excluding the B.S. and B.A. in Economics, the
B.S. in Consumer, Apparel, and Retail Studies and the
B.A. in Sustainable Tourism and Hospitality) include
common courses for breadth and opportunities for
advanced work for depth in the various business
disciplines. These core business programs share the
following common learning goals:
1. Students will implement the various steps of the critical
thinking process, supported by the appropriate use of
analytical and quantitative techniques, to formulate
recommendations for subsequent decision making.
2. Students will apply appropriate ethical standards when
making recommendations for business decision
making.
3. Students will evaluate business decisions in the context
of sustainability goals, balancing environmental, social,
and economic needs, conditions, and potential decision
impacts.
4. Students will formulate appropriate strategies, in the
context of global issues and forces, to improve business
performance in the world economy.
5. Students will explain the roles of innovation and
innovation management in achieving successful
business strategies, decisions, and performance.
6. Students will be able to plan, schedule, contribute to,
and lead projects.

Management
Management
The school’s Office of Undergraduate Student Services
provides academic advising which supplements and
complements faculty advising. The director, with a
professional staff, coordinates orientation and registration
for the school, and administers admission and retention of
majors in the school.
Accreditation
Professional business and accounting programs offered by
the Bryan School of Business and Economics are
accredited by AACSB International, The Association to
Advance Collegiate Schools of Business.
Scope
Programs within the Bryan School of Business and
Economics prepare students for careers in business and
other managed organizations, teaching, and government, or
for graduate study. These programs combine the essentials
of a professional education and the breadth of general
education.
The essential components of a professional education in
business (excluding the B.S. and B.A. in Economics, the
B.S. in Consumer, Apparel, and Retail Studies, and the
B.A. in Sustainable Tourism and Hospitality) include
common courses for breadth and opportunities for
advanced work for depth in the various business
disciplines.
Enrollment in Bryan School Courses
Enrollment in Bryan School courses requires a minimum
cumulative GPA of 2.0 on UNCG course work, regardless
of the student’s major or minor. This includes all courses
offered under the following prefixes: ACC, BUS, ECO,
Academic Units
70 2016–17 UNCG Undergraduate Bulletin
ENT, FIN, ISM, MKT, MGT, and SCM. Courses in the
Bryan School may have additional prerequisites or
enrollment restrictions that are outlined in the
university schedule and the description of each course.
Requirements for Majoring or Minoring in
Bryan School Programs
Students pursuing a major or minor in the Bryan School of
Business and Economics must have a cumulative grade
point average no less than a 2.0 on UNCG course work.
Requests to major or minor in one of the Bryan School’s
programs can be made in the Office of Undergraduate
Student Services, 301 Bryan Building.
Transfers
Since most of the courses in the major are taken during the
junior and senior years, transfer students often complete
their programs without extending their total stay beyond
the usual four years. As a general guide, courses taught
mainly to freshmen and sophomores here will usually, but
not always, be accepted in transfer from accredited two-
year colleges. Courses numbered 300 and above generally
will not be accepted in transfer credit from two-year
institutions. In order to allow timely completion of the
required courses and required prerequisites, transfer
students are encouraged to complete MAT 120 or MAT
191 (Calculus) prior to transferring.
Second Baccalaureate Degrees
Students pursuing a second bachelor’s degree must meet
all requirements within the Bryan School. A minimum of
50% of the Bryan School and departmental requirements
must be completed at UNCG. The Bryan School cannot, at
this time, accommodate persons who seek only to complete
a series of courses in one field (such as Accounting or
Information Systems).
Suggested Academic Workload Guidelines
The faculty of the Bryan School of Business and
Economics recognizes that many Bryan School students
hold jobs to support college expenses. The faculty wishes
to emphasize that academic excellence and scholastic
achievement usually require a significant investment of
time in study, research, and out-of-class projects. To
provide guidance to students in planning their academic
and work schedules, the faculty of the Bryan School have
endorsed the following recommendations:
1. In general, students should plan to devote between 2–3
hours outside of class for each hour in class. Thus,
students with a 15-hour course load should schedule
between 30–45 hours weekly for completing outside-
of-class reading, study, and homework assignments.
2. Students who are employed more than 5–10 hours each
week should consider reducing their course loads
(semester hours), depending upon their study habits,
learning abilities, and course work requirements.
3. Students should take into consideration that many
business courses require group work and plan
accordingly.
Scholarships and Fellowships
Procedures and requirements for applying for
undergraduate scholarships are described in Financial Aid.
Honors Programs
The Bryan School supports and encourages students to
participate in the Honors Programs administered by the
Lloyd International Honors College.

Lloyd International Honors College (LIHC), a member of
the National Collegiate Honors Council, provides
motivated, high achieving undergraduate students in all
fields of study with an enhanced education that has an
international focus. LIHC is an intellectually engaged
community devoted to fostering critical and independent
thinking, global awareness, and strong preparation for
professional, civic, and personal pursuits.
Admission to Lloyd International Honors
College
Admission to Lloyd International Honors College is
required to take courses offered by the Honors College and
to participate in many of Lloyd International Honors
College's programs. To apply for admission, students must
submit a completed application form online for the
International Honors Program or the Disciplinary Honors
Program. Minimum requirements to be considered for
admission depend on the applicant's status at the time of
application. Admission to the college is competitive.
Meeting minimum requirements does not guarantee
admission.
Incoming First-Year Students
To be eligible to apply for admission to Lloyd International
Honors College, the prospective student must meet
minimum test score and high school GPA requirements set
by the college, which can be found on the college's
website.
Transfer Students
An aggregate transferable GPA of 3.30 is required from all
former institutions. Transcripts to verify the aggregate
GPA should be submitted to Undergraduate Admissions
from all prior institutions attended.
Continuing UNCG Students
Continuing UNCG students must have at least a 3.30 GPA.
Lloyd International Honors College Petition
Policy
Incoming first-year UNCG students who do not meet one
of the specified criteria for admission to Lloyd
International Honors College may petition the dean for
admission. When the candidate makes a persuasive case
that he or she is fully capable of succeeding in
International Honors, the dean may admit the student. A
student admitted through the petition process will be
expected to meet all of the requirements for maintaining
good standing in the International Honors Program, and is
subject to the same rules as other Honors College students,
including the conditions requiring suspension or removal
from the college.
Programs
Lloyd International Honors College offers three enhanced
academic programs—the International Honors Program
and the Disciplinary Honors Program. Students who
complete both the International Honors Program and the
Disciplinary Honors Program are recognized for their high
achievement and awarded Full University Honors.
Students interested in pursuing these programs must
consult with an International Honors College academic
adviser before enrolling in Honors courses.
International Honors
The International Honors Program is designed to
complement and enrich the university's General-Education
Program for students in any major. Students who complete
the International Honors Program replace regular general-
education courses with Honors general-education courses,
reach the intermediate level of language competency in a
second language, and complete a semester of study abroad,
thus providing themselves with a solid liberal education
with international and global perspectives, that is a
valuable foundation for study in any major and for life
after graduation.
Disciplinary Honors
The Disciplinary Honors Program allows students in all
majors to do Honors work in their majors or in upper-
division interdisciplinary studies. Through Disciplinary
Honors, students have the opportunity to study topics in
depth and to do research under the supervision of a faculty
member, thus giving themselves a competitive advantage
when applying to graduate school or beginning a career.
Southwestern Community College Transfers
Students who graduate from the Honors Program at
Southwestern Community College (NC) with a college-
transferrable degree [e.g., Associates in Arts (A.A.) or
Associates in Science (A.S.)] may earn the Designation of

Courses
Honors courses are taught by faculty members who are
among the best at UNCG, who are deeply engaged with
their disciplines, and who are dedicated to helping students
achieve their greatest potential. Honors courses are
typically small (20–25 students) and foster discussion,
collaboration, and mutual discovery among students and
faculty. Typically, Honors courses fulfill a variety of
university and departmental requirements.
There are several types of Honors courses:
• Honors Seminars in which students explore
interdisciplinary topics in greater breadth and/or depth
than in typical courses while fulfilling General
Education Core requirements;
• Honors sections of regular UNCG courses that allow
students to explore other topics or continue to do
Honors work in their major;
• Honors Tutorials and Honors Independent Study
through which students either individually or in small
groups work with a professor on a topic of mutual
interest;
• The Senior Honors Project in which a student, under
the guidance of a professor, produces a research
project.
• Disciplinary Honors Contract courses that allow
students to enhance a regular undergraduate course and
receive Honors credit for that course. Note: Honors
Contract courses can be used only to fulfill
Disciplinary Honors Program requirements; they
cannot be used to fulfill International Honors Program
requirements.
The variety of Honors courses, and particularly the chance
to customize one's curriculum through tutorials and
independent studies, means that students have considerable
control over their own education. Moreover, many of the
advanced Honors courses, such as the Senior Honors
Project, allow students to do original and sophisticated
work, and are an excellent preparation for graduate school,
professional training, and other post-graduation endeavors.
Honors Academic Advising
Lloyd International Honors College staff offers top-rate
group and individual advising to help students discover the
best ways to take advantage of Honors at UNCG, and to
make sure that students have the needed support and
encouragement along the way to completing their degrees.
Academic Units
2016–17 UNCG Undergraduate Bulletin
83
A variety of informal information sessions and colloquia
are also provided for students interested in talking about
particular topics of interest such as study abroad,
internships, or graduate school.
Extra-Curricular Activities and Student
Involvement
Lloyd International Honors College sponsors a number of
extracurricular events. Among these events are orientations
for both International Honors and Disciplinary Honors, the
annual Honors Symposium, the Artist-in-Residence
program, the UNCG Think Tanks, lectures and special
performances, field trips, and community service projects.
Honors students can participate in the Honors
Ambassadors program, the OWLS Peer Mentoring
program, the Gray Hall Fellows program, and the Honors
Guides program.
Honors Abroad Experiences
In collaboration with UNCG's Office of International
Programs, Lloyd International Honors College from time
to time offers Honors Abroad Experiences for Honors
students interested in an honors-enhanced study abroad
experience at select locations. To be considered, students
must (1) submit an Honors Abroad application to Lloyd
International Honors College and (2) be accepted for study
abroad at an appropriate location by the International
Programs Center. Accepted students are given an all-
expenses paid (except for food) week, or more, at a foreign
location with a UNCG faculty member.
Students accepted into an Honors Abroad Experience
enroll in HSS 310, a three-credit Honors course, in
addition to whatever courses are taken at the host
institution. HSS 310 requires that students meet with a
UNCG faculty member before traveling abroad to discuss
readings about their trip and the character of the country
they are about to visit. Students and the UNCG faculty
member then spend approximately a week exploring and
taking in cultural activities abroad associated with a
particular academic topic. During their semester, students
travel and engage in a variety of writing assignments that
allow them to reflect on their experience. Finally, students
gather for a colloquium upon returning to UNCG the
following semester.
Honors Awards
Lloyd International Honors College administers awards
that recognize high achievement. At the Honors
Convocation every spring, the college’s Honors Council
bestows the Student Excellence Award, the university's
highest academic undergraduate honor, on outstanding
seniors. The college also hosts an annual banquet to honor
those students who have successfully completed one of
Lloyd International Honors College's programs.
Honors Housing
North Spencer Honors Residence Hall and Gray Honors
Residence Hall are housing options for Honors students
only, but it is not required. Incoming Honors freshmen
may apply to live in North Spencer Residence Hall upon

Mission Statement
UNCG School of Nursing is a learner-centered community
preparing nurse generalists, advanced practice nurses,
educators, and researchers to make a difference in the
lives of individuals, families, populations, and
communities.
The School of Nursing offers an undergraduate program
leading to the Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree. The
first two years of study are in general education, basic
sciences, humanities, and basic nursing. The majority of
work in the junior and senior years is in nursing.
The School of Nursing offers a Master of Science in
Nursing degree to prepare persons for a leadership role in
nursing education and administration. The School, along
with the Bryan School of Business and Economics, offers
the M.S.N./M.B.A. The School of Nursing offers the
Doctor of Nursing Practice to prepare advanced practice
nurses and executive nurse leaders. The School of Nursing
offers the Ph.D. in Nursing to prepare nurses as scientists
in academia and industry.
Accreditation
The pre-licensure program offered by the School of
Nursing is approved by the North Carolina Board of
Nursing. The B.S.N. program is accredited by
the Accreditation Commission for Education in
Nursing (ACEN), 3343 Peachtree Road NE, Suite 850,
Atlanta, Georgia 30326. (www.acenursing.org).
The B.S.N. program is also accredited by the Commission
on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE), One Dupont
Circle NW, Suite 530, Washington, DC 20036-1120.
(www.aacn.nche.edu/ccne-accreditation).
Philosophy
The philosophy of the faculty at the School of Nursing is a
statement of the beliefs and values they hold about the
discipline and profession of nursing, as well as nursing
education. The conceptual framework and the goals of the
undergraduate and graduate programs are built upon this
philosophy. Nursing is both a practice discipline and a
profession. Comprising the discipline is a unique body of
knowledge that is integral to nursing practice, nursing
education, and nursing administration. The body of
knowledge is continuously developed and refined as an
outcome of scientific, historical, philosophical, and ethical
inquiry. Nursing knowledge is generated about health
experiences and behaviors of persons across the life span.
Testing and validation of interventions used in nursing
practice generates evidence to support best practices. The
metaparadigm concepts of person, environment, health,
and nursing form the foundation upon which inquiry and
the profession are based.
Nurses use knowledge developed by the discipline to
promote optimal health in people and to achieve
professional goals. Nursing is an essential component of
the health care delivery system and includes the promotion
of wellness, the detection of alterations in health, and the
provision of care for those with illness, disease, or
dysfunctions. Professional nursing is characterized by
inquiry, caring, and practice. Nurses are professionally,
ethically, and legally accountable for the care they provide,
and their practice includes independent and collaborative
functions.
Nursing education is built upon a foundation of a broad
general education and professional nursing curriculum that
provides opportunities for learners to attain knowledge and
competencies required to practice nursing. Mature learners
identify their own learning needs and assume responsibility
for continued learning. Effective teachers establish an
inviting learner-centered environment that promotes
collaboration among themselves and their learners for
achievement of educational goals. Baccalaureate education
prepares nurses to practice as generalists, while specialty
education at the master’s level prepares advanced practice
registered nurses, administrators, and educators. At the
doctoral level, nurses are prepared as scientists to practice
in academia and industry and as advanced practice
registered nurses for delivery of healthcare.
Please see complete details on School of Nursing
admission, policies, requirements, programs, and courses,
programs, and courses.

Mission Statement
The mission of the Department of Accounting and Finance
of the Joseph M. Bryan School of Business and Economics
is (1) to provide high quality programs of education for
accounting and finance majors at the undergraduate and
graduate levels, (2) to provide high quality courses to
support the UNCG and Bryan School educational missions
as they relate accounting and finance to global processes,
sustainable enterprise, innovation and ethical awareness,
(3) to stimulate and support high quality research,
scholarship, and publication, (4) to provide service,
largely through committee representation to the
University, the Bryan School, the Department, the
academic accounting and finance communities, and the
accounting profession, and (5) to foster faculty interaction
with the public in ways which enhance the common good.
The primary goal of the department is to provide programs
of quality education in accounting and finance at the
undergraduate and graduate levels. The undergraduate
program provides an excellent foundation for careers in
industry and is sufficiently broad to qualify graduates for a
wide range of entry-level, business-related positions; and
prepares students for further graduate-level studies in areas
such as accounting, finance, law, and business
administration.
The Department of Accounting and Finance also offers a
Bachelor of Science degree with a major in finance. The
undergraduate finance program deals with the theory,
organization, and operation of the financial system from
both a market and a managerial viewpoint. Students are
expected to develop analytical abilities and to present their
analyses in both written and oral form.
Undergraduate majors are offered a broad range of courses
from the areas of financial management, financial
institutions, and investments.
Graduates may take managerial positions in controllership
or treasury work in non-financial businesses as well as a
wide array of careers in financial services and banking. In
addition, the degree may lead to positions in risk
management and real estate departments of public agencies
and private corporations as well as insurance and real
estate companies.
At the graduate level, the Bryan School offers courses in
finance as part of the Master of Business Administration
(MBA) program.
Student Learning Goals
Critical thinking, quantitative aptitude, teamwork, and
good communication skills are necessary to function
effectively in today’s highly competitive, global
environment. In order to assure that our graduates are
prepared to meet the challenges of the future:
• Students will demonstrate problem solving skills and
demonstrate technical competence necessary for entry-
level accounting careers or entry into graduate
programs in accounting.
• Students will demonstrate the ability to communicate
effectively and efficiently.
• Students will have an understanding of ethical
decision-making and understand the role of
professional ethics including the importance of ethical
conduct and decisions to the sustainability of the
accounting profession.
• Finance students will be able to create forward-looking
financial statements.
• Finance students will be able to analyze the current
financial condition of the firm.
• Finance students will be able to thoroughly understand
the mathematical process and application of capital
budgeting.
• Finance Students will thoroughly understand the
concepts of the time value of money (TVM), the
characteristics of traditional financial securities, and the
valuation of these securities.

Anthropology is a broad discipline which
includes biological anthropology—the study of humans as
biological animals; cultural anthropology—the study of
humankind in a cultural perspective; archaeology—the
recovery and interpretation of ancient human cultural
remains; and linguistics—the study of language in culture
and society.
The undergraduate major provides for extensive study in
cultural anthropology, archaeology, and biological
anthropology. Majors who develop a particular interest in
one of the subdisciplines may pursue a concentration in
that area, or they may choose to take electives in multiple
sub-fields. Majors have opportunities to work closely with
members of the faculty on current research projects in the
lab and in the field. Internships in various agencies are also
available.
Anthropology as a major prepares individuals to pursue
many avenues of career development. It is the basis for a
career as a professional anthropologist. Anthropology
combined with other courses of study as double majors
enhances career possibilities and professional
development. There are, moreoever, increasing
opportunities for anthropologists to work in government
agencies, non-profits, and business. In such settings,
anthropological knowledge of biology, culture, and history
may be applied to the solution of human problems.
Anthropology Major (ANTH)—B.A.
Degree: Bachelor of Arts
Required: 122 semester hours, to include at least 36 hours

Upon completion of the program, Anthropology majors
will be able to: demonstrate a broad knowledge of cultural
diversity, ethnocentrism, and cultural relativity; analyze
the social, political, and religious structure of diverse
societies; distinguish Old, New, and Post-Processual
Archaeology, including the ability to recover and analyze

• Second, that an understanding of visual communication
within contemporary society is critical for an informed
world view; and
• Third, that an appreciation and knowledge of art
history, past and present, is essential to both young
scholars and developing artists.
In the School of Art, committed faculty, who actively
exhibit and publish nationally and internationally, model
the high standards we hold our students to in the visual
arts, art history, and art education. Our students
individually challenge, explore, and push the boundaries of
their given field, whether it be establishing an independent
vision or perspective in the studio, exploring new facets of
art history, or developing their own voices as art educators.
Through this diversity, our program offers students a
strong, self-motivated course of study where majors have
meaningful contact with faculty across disciplines,
methodologies, and practices.
The school's studio and art education facilities are located
in the Maud F. Gatewood Studio Arts Building on
Highland Avenue. Art historians have offices located in the
Weatherspoon Art Museum.

STUDENT-DESIGNED INTERDISCIPLINARY
PROGRAM (SDIP)
The Student-Designed Interdisciplinary Program (SDIP) is
available only to students in the Lloyd International
Honors College (LIHC) whose academic goals are not
adequately served by a single major, or combination of
majors, second majors, and minors, available in the
College of Arts and Sciences or in one of the professional
schools.
Students selecting the SDIP option must have a 3.30 GPA
at the time of application. Students pursuing the SDIP
option must satisfy all College Additional Requirements
and meet all university academic regulations. An SDIP
plan must represent a coherent academic program of study.
The option may not be used as a way of circumventing the
requirements of an established major, and SDIP plans (see
below) that constitute only minor changes to an existing
major will not be approved. The procedure for requesting
approval of an SDIP is as follows:
1. LIHC students must consult with an honors college
advisor before requesting approval of an SDIP. The
adviser will interview the student and ask them to begin
compiling a preliminary list of course work and fields
the student wishes to put together. Once the honors
college advisor is satisfied with the student's
seriousness in pursuing the SDIP option, the student
will schedule a meeting with the associate dean in the
college with oversight of the SDIP program.
2. The student will meet with the associate dean to
identify an advisor for the SDIP. A faculty member in
the college must agree to serve as the student's advisor,
to take responsibility for helping the student design an
approved plan of study and for monitoring the student's
progress. The student and the advisor devise a plan of
study for the major. The plan consists of:
a. a brief statement describing the aims and intentions
of the proposed major, and explaining why no
existing major or combination of majors, second
majors, or minors can be used to pursue those aims;
b. a list of courses (minimum of 27 semester hours)
that will constitute the major. The list of courses
must include SDI 400: Capstone Experience (1-3).
Capstone experiences will be unique to each SDIP
and can include internship, service-learning,
individual reading and research, etc.;
c. either a list of courses or a narrative paragraph
explaining how the student will satisfy (or has
satisfied) the college's liberal education, foreign
language, and writing-intensive requirements; and
d. the student and his/her advisor should make every
effort to ensure that courses included in the plan are
in fact offered with reasonable frequency; not all
courses listed in the bulletin will be available with
sufficient frequency to ensure timely graduation.
The plan is initially submitted to the associate dean of the
college for review. The associate dean will ensure that the
plan meets all the requirements noted above and will send
a copy of the plan to the LIHC honors council for their
review and approval. Copies of the approved plan will be
sent by the associate dean to the student and the major
advisor.
Any changes to the plan after it has been submitted must
be approved by the associate dean. Generally,
modifications will only be approved because some of the
approved courses have become unavailable or because a
new course appears to be better suited to the plan than one
that was originally included.
STUDENT-DESIGNED INTERDISCIPLINARY
PROGRAM COURSE (SDI)
SDI 400 Capstone Experience (1-3:0:3-9)
Can include reading and research, performance, internship,
study abroad, service learning, etc. Available to qualified
students upon recommendation of an instructor.

Ashby Residential College in Mary Foust is an inclusive,
two-year program that offers a unique living and learning
environment for a co-ed student community of
approximately 120 freshmen and sophomores with a
limited number of Upper-Class Mentor participants. Ashby
is a small college but with immediate and complete access
to the diverse facilities, programs, and departments of a
larger university. Ashby provides a setting that encourages
innovative study, small classes, unity of academic and
social experiences, and close student-faculty contacts. A
Residential College Coordinator, who serves on the
faculty, resides in the hall. Other faculty members have
offices in the residence hall. Students and faculty serve on
governing committees and participate together in special
events within the community.
Every semester, the Ashby curriculum includes
approximately eighteen courses taught by faculty from
departments across campus. These courses meet UNCG
general education requirements as well as requirements for
a variety of majors. All students are asked to participate in
one of the ARC multidisciplinary core courses, which
represent four to five integrated courses from the Ashby
curriculum, and to choose another class from the other
curricular offerings, which represent a wide range of
academic subjects. These seminars, along with varied types
of independent study and community service work, make
up approximately six hours of a student’s semester course
load. The remaining semester hours are taken within the
greater university. Ashby students are not only full
members of UNCG, but are also encouraged to participate
in the life of the university.

Rationale and Program Objectives
The Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Studies, Humanities

designed to provide students with an opportunity to earn
their baccalaureate degree in an e-learning environment by
gaining a thorough understanding of the humanities, the
interconnections among them, and their relevance to
individuals and to modern society. The humanities are
broadly defined to include those disciplines that study
people—their ideas, their history, their literature, their
artifacts, and their values. The program will investigate
individual people in their solitude, life together in
societies, and models of and for reality that constitute
cultures. Individual courses will tackle the Big Questions
that have been the traditional province of the humanities
such as “What makes a life worth living?” The program is
designed to enhance the student’s ability to:
• Think critically and analytically.
• Communicate clearly and effectively.
• Understand and explain interconnections among the
Humanities disciplines.
• Appreciate the wide range of human experience.
• Achieve increased depth of knowledge in one of the
four categories of the Humanities: Literature, Fine Arts,

The Department of Biology has a strong commitment to
teaching at both the undergraduate and graduate levels.
Recipients of undergraduate biology degrees find
employment in a wide range of fields and are well-
prepared for further study in graduate school and in health-
related professions such as medicine, dentistry, and
veterinary medicine. Writing- and speaking-intensive
courses and laboratory classes help develop
communication and research skills.

Degree: Bachelor of Science
Required: 122 semester hours, to include at least 36 hours
at or above the 300 course level; note that licensure
programs may require hours beyond the minimum listed.
AOS Code: U218
The Comprehensive Science High School Licensure
(BIOL) program provides a strong background in biology
as well as licensure for high school biology teaching. In
addition, successful completion of this program qualifies
candidates to teach other high school science subjects as
well.
The Bachelor of Science degree is offered for those
students aspiring to a professional career in biology, and
for those students with particularly strong interests in the
discipline. See also Preprofessional Programs. A student
pursuing the Bachelor of Science is expected to develop a
stronger background in mathematics and related sciences
and to attain a greater understanding of biology than will a
student pursuing a Bachelor of Arts degree. Bachelor of
Science students will also be strongly encouraged to
undertake an individual research project with a faculty
member during their junior and/or senior year.

Biology Major: Human Biology Concentration
(BIOL)—B.S.
Degree: Bachelor of Arts
Required: 122 semester hours, to include at least 36 hours
at or above the 300 course level
AOS Code: U863
This concentration is designed for biology majors who
want to develop the ability to integrate biological
knowledge as it relates to human beings. The study of
human biology requires fundamental knowledge of basic
life science, since humans and other animals share a large
number of structural, chemical, and control mechanisms.
Moreover, human behavior occurs within a specific
evolutionary and ecological setting, just as it does in other
animals. Full appreciation of human biology, including our
complex brains, our communication and conceptual
abilities, and our social structures, requires an
understanding drawn not only from biology but also from
basic courses in anthropology and psychology, and from
additional academic disciplines in the humanities and
sciences.

undergraduate programs: the Bachelor of Science in
Chemistry, the Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry, the
Bachelor of Science in Chemistry with a Concentration in
Biochemistry, the Bachelor of Science in Chemistry with a
Concentration in Research, and the Bachelor of Arts in
Chemistry. A licensure program to prepare students to
teach high school chemistry is offered. The Master of
Science in Chemistry, Master of Science in Biochemistry,
and Ph.D. in Medicinal Chemistry are offered at the
graduate level (see the Graduate School Bulletin). Students
who follow the program leading to the Bachelor of Science
in Chemistry degree are certified to the American
Chemical Society as having met its rigorous requirements
for undergraduate professional training in chemistry.
The Department’s biochemistry programs (B.S. in
Biochemistry and B.S. in Chemistry with Concentration in
Biochemistry) provide students with excellent preparation
for graduate work in biochemistry and related life sciences,
as well as for employment in chemical and
biotechnological industries. These programs are also
attractive to students planning careers in the health
professions.
The department emphasizes the opportunity for students to
engage in undergraduate research. Many of our majors do
so, principally in their junior and senior years, and this
provides excellent training for those who intend to
continue their studies at the graduate level.
Biochemistry Major (BCHE)—B.S.
Degree: Bachelor of Science
Required: 122 semester hours, to include at least 36 hours
at or above the 300 course level
AOS Code: U860
The Biochemistry Major (B.S.) is designed to prepare
students for graduate education in the biochemical
sciences, medicine, and other health professions, or for
employment in biotechnology, pharmaceutical, and

of Science in Biochemistry will meet all or most of the
academic requirements for admission to medical, dental,
veterinary, or pharmacy schools.
The curriculum involves a solid foundation of Chemistry
and Biology courses, along with core and advanced
elective courses in Biochemistry. Undergraduate research
is encouraged, and students may collaborate with
participating faculty from a variety of departments
(Chemistry, Biology, Nutrition, Physics, and Kinesiology).

The Chemistry Major (B.S.) provides very thorough
undergraduate training in chemistry and an excellent
background for students planning to undertake graduate
work or to enter the chemical industry. It differs from the
B.A. in requiring additional advanced courses in chemistry
and/or related sciences. Students who complete this
program will be certified to the American Chemical
Society upon graduation as having fulfilled the Society’s
rigorous requirements for undergraduate professional
training. The sequence in which the required courses are
taken is important, and the student should work closely
with a chemistry advisor in planning a schedule.
The concentration in Chemistry Research offers students
the option to specialize in research and be exposed to four
years of research. The concentration is designed to prepare
students for graduate training in chemistry, biochemistry,
medicine, and related professions or for employment in
chemistry, biochemistry, or related industries. The
exposure to research will build strong research,
communication, and leadership skills. Such skills are in
great demand.
The concentration in Biochemistry offers students the
option to specialize in biochemistry within the curriculum
leading to the B.S. in Chemistry. This concentration is
designed to prepare students for graduate training in
biochemistry, medicine and related professions, or for
employment in biochemistry or biotechnology related
industries. The sequence in which the required courses are
taken is important, and the student should work closely
with a chemistry advisor in planning a schedule.

Mission Statement
The mission of the Department of Classical Studies is to
serve the educational interests of undergraduate and
master’s level students, the local and statewide community,
and the health of the national discipline, by preserving,
transmitting and interpreting the achievements of the
Classical World, and by adhering to the best practices of
our discipline.
The Department of Classical Studies provides a
comprehensive approach to the study of the ancient Greek
and Roman world. The Department believes that students
should have a solid foundation in the language, history,
and culture of Greek and Roman civilization. To this end,
the program is designed to ensure that all students gain
proficiency in the Greek or Latin language, as well as a
broad understanding of Classical literature in its cultural
and historical context, the influence of Graeco-Roman
civilization on the conceptions and values of Western
civilization, and the methods of critical inquiry which are
central to the discipline of Classical Studies.
The Department offers a wide variety of courses in English
on mythology, archaeology, literature and culture, as well
as courses in ancient Greek and Latin at all levels. Courses
with a CCI prefix require no knowledge of either language;
GRK courses require reading of texts in Greek and LAT
courses require reading of texts in Latin.
Students also have an opportunity in the summer to visit
Athens, Rome, and other parts of the Classical world, to
participate in archaeological excavation, and to earn
semester hours of credit through CCI 393, CCI 394, CCI
401, CCI 450, or CCI 455; GRK 393, GRK 394; LAT 393,
LAT 394; or through Study Abroad Programs.
Classical Studies Major (CLAS)—B.A.
Degree: Bachelor of Arts
Required: 122 semester hours, to include at least 36 hours
at or above the 300 course level
Available concentrations and AOS Codes:
Classical Language & Literature, U357
Classical Civilization, U354
Classical Archaeology, U352
See Latin Teacher Licensure for Latin High School
Teaching
The Department offers a B.A. in Classical Studies, with
three distinct concentrations in Classical Language and
Literature, Classical Civilization, and Classical
Archaeology. All three concentrations offer a broad liberal
arts experience that provides an excellent foundation for a
variety of careers including law, business, government,
journalism, and teaching.
The Classical Language and Literature concentration is
designed to ensure a solid preparation in the chosen
language and to acquaint students with those works that
form the origin of European literature, history, and
philosophy. This concentration prepares students for
graduate work in the Classical languages and literature and
for secondary school language teaching.
The Classical Civilization and Classical Archaeology
concentrations provide a solid and wide-ranging
background for understanding the origin and development
of our Western ideas, values, languages, institutions,
attitudes, and art. The Classical Civilization concentration
is an excellent major for pre-law students, who should
choose courses on Roman Civilization (CCI 202), Roman
Law and Society (CCI 350), and Latin to fulfill major
requirements. It is also an excellent second major for those
interested in any area of primary or secondary school
teaching. The Classical Archaeology concentration is
intended especially for students wishing to pursue graduate
work in Classical Archaeology. Students interested in other
areas of archaeology should also consider the Special
Programs in Liberal Studies Major: Archaeology
Concentration.

Mission Statement
The Mission of the Department of Communication Sciences
and Disorders is to prepare students with a background in
speech, language, and hearing sciences, and in speech,
language, and hearing disorders in anticipation of their
continued studies at the graduate level.
Speech Pathology and Audiology Major
(SPAU)—B.S.
Degree: Bachelor of Science
Required: 122 semester hours, to include at least 36 hours
at or above the 300 course level
AOS Code: U143
The Speech Pathology and Audiology major provides a
preprofessional program for those preparing for graduate
study in speech-language pathology or audiology. The
major is designed to satisfy some requirements for the N.C.
license in speech-language pathology or audiology,
although no license is awarded until completion of the
master’s degree in speech language pathology and the
Au.D. or Ph.D. in audiology. Instruction is designed to
meet American Speech-Language-Hearing Association
standards. Transfer students may require an additional
semester to complete the undergraduate degree program.
All undergraduates will register with the major code of
SPAU, but will not be allowed to take CSD courses at the
300 level or above until formally accepted into the major.
Student Learning Goals
Students majoring in Speech Pathology and Audiology will
be able to:
• Identify the foundations of normal communication
(speech, language, hearing).
• Explain the theories and processes involved in the
identification and evaluation of communication
disorders.
• Identify disorders of receptive and expressive written
and oral language (phonology, morphology, syntax,
semantics, and pragmatics).
• Identify disorders of speech production (articulation,
voice, and fluency).
• Describe the cognitive and social aspects of
communication.
• Relate issues of cultural diversity to communication
and its disorders.
• Explain relationships of hearing and hearing disorders
to speech and language development and disorders.
• Analyze and measure hearing function.
• Describe habilitation and rehabilitation of individuals
with hearing impairment.
Admission Requirements
1. Students must be formally admitted to the Speech
Pathology and Audiology Major. Only students with a
written acceptance will be permitted to enroll in
required courses at the 300 level or above.
2. Applicants for admission to the Speech Pathology and
Audiology major may apply only after completion
and/or transfer of 55 semester hours and must apply
before enrollment in any required courses at or above
the 300 level in the major. Applicants must have an
overall grade point average of at least 2.50 to apply to
the major.
3. The grade point average is a minimum requirement and
simple compliance does not automatically imply
admission. In all cases, admission is competitive and
limited by space available in the program.
4. Students seeking admission to the Speech Pathology
and Audiology Major should proceed as follows:
a. Secure an official transcript(s) of undergraduate
course work completed at colleges and universities
other than UNCG, and an unofficial transcript from

The Department offers the B.A. in Communication Studies
as well as an undergraduate minor. The M.A. degree is also
offered in the department. For details on the graduate
program see the Graduate School Bulletin.
The Department of Communication Studies offers required
and elective courses that are designed to make productive
use of differing learning styles among students: theoretical
and applied, textual and experiential, topical and case
study, course work and internships/service learning,
individual and groups/team based performances. A number
of courses involve service learning to link communication,
action, and academic study.
The Department of Communication Studies provides
opportunities to study relational, group, workplace, and
community communication. Communication courses
contribute to a liberal education by teaching creative
thinking and problem-solving, critical reasoning, and
effective oral, written, and mediated communication. The
faculty strongly believe in the interdisciplinary nature of
communication, and this curriculum encourages elective
course work be taken in allied disciplines such as African
American Studies, Anthropology, Business, English,
Media Studies, Philosophy, Political Science, Psychology,
Sociology, and Women’s and Gender Studies. Additionally
the Department participates in Service-Learning, the
Honors Programs administered by the Lloyd International
Honors College, Writing Across the Curriculum and
Speaking Across the Curriculum programs, and regularly
offers freshman seminars. Opportunities also exist for
Study Abroad including exchanges in Europe.
Communication Studies majors with a 3.0 GPA may apply
to go abroad in the spring semester of their junior year to
participate in the Intercultural Studies program at Vaxjo
University in Vaxjo, Sweden. The program (taught in
English) requires course work in socio-cultural theory,
intercultural interactions, cultural analysis, and fieldwork,
with optional study in basic Swedish.
The undergraduate program in Communication Studies is
designed to serve as a solid foundation for a variety of
professional and entrepreneurial careers; it also provides
preparatory work for graduate studies in communication,
as well as related fields such as law, business, media
studies, and education. Faculty and students in the
Department of Communication Studies are actively
involved in research, service, and consulting with
community, state, regional, national, and international
organizations and agencies.

The Consumer, Apparel, and Retail Studies Department
offers three major concentrations: Apparel Design, Global
Apparel and Related Industries, and Retailing and
Consumer Studies. These concentrations prepare students
for positions with companies that focus on the process of
concept to consumer for apparel and consumer-related
products. Graduates may take positions in apparel design,
apparel product development, fashion trend forecasting and
analysis, quality control, sourcing, merchandising, buying,
and retail management.
During the first two years of study, students will complete
the majority of their general education requirements and
begin introductory consumer, apparel, and retailing
courses. In order to develop a strong knowledge base and
build upon previously learned concepts, many of these
courses are sequential and must be completed in the
established order.
The apparel design concentration requires students to think
creatively and technically. Students must draw freehand
and on the computer, make patterns, and construct
garments.
A grade of C (2.0) or better must be earned in all courses
in the major.
International exposure is built into the curriculum. Study of
foreign languages is encouraged and international study
experiences are possible. All majors take supporting
courses in the Bryan School of Business and Economics.
Students in the Retailing and Consumer Studies
concentration fulfill the requirements for a business minor
within their required courses; the minor, however, must be
declared.
Internship experiences are required of all CARS students
through a structured two-course sequence that includes a
professional development class that prepares them both to
find internships and to achieve successful internship
experiences. The CARS Internship Program Coordinator
structures and supervises internships to ensure quality
experiences. Because of the proximity to North Carolina's
strong apparel and retailing industries, the majority of
students have internships within the state; however, the
long-standing relationships between CARS and the
apparel, fashion, and retailing industries link students to
opportunities for out-of-state internships in such exciting
places as New York City, Atlanta, and the West Coast.

The Counselor Education program at UNCG adheres to the
scientist problem-solver model of training. Consistent with
this approach is the program’s goal of graduating students
who have knowledge of basic counseling, possess a high
level of competency in providing professional services,
and have the skills necessary to conduct research. The
tenets underlying the program include (a) exposure to a
variety of theoretical orientations for counseling, (b)
reliance on both the clinical-counseling and vocational-
education approaches in designing counseling and
programmatic interventions, (c) a commitment to
developing the student’s skills as a researcher, and (d) an
emphasis on developing the normal developmental issues
of the individual as opposed to an approach based on
pathology.

Mission Statement
The Department of Economics supports the teaching,
research, and service missions of the university and the
Bryan School of Business and Economics. The
Department’s undergraduate courses and programs
prepare students for the competitive global marketplace,
career and professional development, and graduate
education. Its innovative graduate programs, the M.A. in
Applied Economics and the Ph.D. in Economics with a
focus on applied microeconomics, provide students with a
mastery of advanced empirical and analytical methods so
they can conduct high-quality research and contribute to
the knowledge base in business, government, nonprofit,
and research settings. The Department conducts high-
quality nationally recognized research that supports its
academic programs, promotes economic understanding,
and fosters economic development in the Triad and the
state.
The Department of Economics provides students with an
understanding of economic principles, concepts, and
institutions and the ability to analyze economic problems
and public policy issues. Economics is a social science
concerned with public policy issues such as pollution and
the environment, the health system, central bank policy
and inflation, unemployment, the productivity of the labor
force, economic growth, and international trade and
finance.
The Department of Economics offers two undergraduate
degrees through the Bryan School of Business and
Economics: a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) and a Bachelor of
Arts (B.A.). The B.S. degree builds on a comprehensive
business foundation by teaching students how to apply
economic reasoning and analysis to a variety of business
and economic issues. The B.A. degree builds on a
comprehensive liberal arts education in the sciences,
humanities, and arts by teaching students how to apply
economic reasoning and analysis to a variety of economic
policy issues. Students can choose to double major in the
liberal arts, the social sciences, or the natural sciences.
A B.A. or B.S. degree in economics provides students with
enhanced access to the job market and to graduate and
professional education. Additional statistical and
quantitative course work allows students to develop
research expertise and statistical skills that are important
for the job market and graduate programs.
The Department of Economics offers a three-semester
Master of Arts degree in Applied Economics that provides
students with the theoretical and statistical training to enter
the job market as professional economists employable by
financial institutions, health organizations, consulting
firms, research organizations, and government agencies.
Teacher licensure is also available for economics majors
(see School of Education Licensure Programs).
Student Learning Goals
Critical thinking, quantitative analysis, communication
skills, and economic reasoning are highly valued in the
competitive global economy. In order to prepare our
students for their careers and possible future graduate
work, our B.A. and B.S. graduates will be able to:
• Demonstrate knowledge of intermediate
microeconomic theory
• Demonstrate knowledge of intermediate
macroeconomic theory
• Use mathematical and statistical skills to analyze
economic problems
• Apply economic theory and analytical skills in
economics field courses
• Effectively communicate how to use economic
concepts and principles to address economic problems

The Department of English offers courses in major authors,
in all major literary periods, in literary theory, in linguistics
and rhetoric, in journalism, and in writing essays, fiction,
and poetry. Senior-graduate courses are available to
advanced students, and the graduate program offers the full
range of literary and rhetorical studies leading to the M.A.
and Ph.D. The creative writing program offers courses
both to undergraduates seeking the B.A. degree and to
graduate students seeking the M.F.A. degree.
English Major (ENGL)—B.A.
Degree: Bachelor of Arts
Required: 122 semester hours, to include at least 36 hours
at or above the 300 course level
AOS Codes:
English, U155
English with High School Teaching Licensure, U157
The English Major provides a flexible program. Students
who major in English participate in increasingly intensified
study of language and literature that includes English,
American, and foreign literature in translation. Upon
graduation, English majors are well qualified to enter
nearly all fields that do not require previous technical and
professional training.
Although the English major is an excellent preparation for
a variety of careers, many students will seek licensure to
teach, and others will choose to enter graduate school.
English has long been recognized as a desirable major for
prelaw and premedical studies. It is also beneficial for
students who enter such fields as journalism, editing,
communications, diplomacy, advertising, and personnel
work.
A “Guide for English Majors and Minors” is available
upon request from the departmental office. It provides
current advice on planning a major or minor. Additional
guidance is available from the Director of Undergraduate
Studies in English and from faculty advisors.

Mission Statement
The Department of Geography is a student-centered
department having a three-fold integrated mission
encompassing teaching, scholarship, and service. The
Department offers a program presenting an integrative
perspective on the relations among social, political,
economic, and physical phenomena occurring across
space. The Department is committed to teaching the
concepts and research methods of the discipline in order to
prepare geography majors for professional careers and/or
advanced study. Non-geography majors are presented the
geographic knowledge needed to understand the nature of
the human and environmental patterns found in the world
around them. Graduate student education is focused on
preparing our students for advanced professional careers
and/or further graduate study. The Department is
committed to excellence in both theoretical and applied
research. Undergraduate and graduate students
involvement in research is encouraged to develop student
understanding, reasoning, and technical skills. Through
scholarship, teaching, and service, the Department of
Geography is dedicated to bettering our community,
nation, and planet.
The Department of Geography offers a program which has
three principal objectives: to promote the understanding of
the locational dimensions of human behavior in their
environmental context; to offer a curriculum where
geographic concepts and methods are applied to
understanding economic, environmental, and social
problems at the urban and regional scale; and to promote
international understanding through area studies. Thus, the
purposes of the program are to contribute an important
dimension to the university student’s liberal education and
to provide practical training in important contemporary
areas of concern as well as the background appropriate for
certain vocations.
Graduating majors of the department have found careers in
business and industry, in urban and regional planning
agencies, in departments of federal and state governments,
and in teaching. Job titles include city or regional planner,
cartographer, demographer, resource analyst, land or
economic developer, location analyst, and teacher. Many
graduates find that an undergraduate degree in geography
is an excellent foundation for advanced graduate work or
professional training in planning, business or law.
Special facilities of the department include fully equipped
laboratories in computer cartography, geographic
information systems, remote sensing, and physical
geography, plus a 130-acre field camp for both instruction
and research.
GEOGRAPHY CONCENTRATIONS
Urban Planning Concentration
(U165)
The inter-regional shift of people and jobs in the United
States and elsewhere over the past decades coupled with
the movement away from large central cities has increased
the need for formal urban and regional planning. Planners
are needed in the private sector as well as in state and local
governments to provide the appropriate kinds of economic
and community development that will ensure a high
quality of life in both developed and developing countries.
In a growth region like the Southeast, geographers with a
planning background are in increasing demand.

The Department of History offers a program which has
four principal objectives: 1) to provide a general
knowledge of the history of the United States, Europe, and
the wider world (as we have defined our fields of
concentration); 2) to teach students to think and read
critically and thereby to develop the ability to analyze
historical documents and to appreciate the nature of
historical interpretations; 3) to improve students’ ability to
communicate both orally and in writing; and, 4) to foster
the ability to conduct historical research. The Department
offers a broad spectrum of courses in U.S., European, and
wider world history; in the ancient, medieval, and modern
periods; in social, cultural, political, economic, intellectual,
military, and diplomatic history; the history of science; and
in a variety of special topics including gender, sexuality,
witchcraft, and terrorism.
The History Major prepares students for career
opportunities in a wide range of employment, where
liberally educated minds can be turned to fruitful account.
It offers an excellent general background for later, more
specialized studies in fields such as law and journalism. A
number of history majors go on to work in public service at
the local, state, and federal levels or find employment in
those areas of the private sector where a premium is put on
a sound general education. Finally, many history majors
employ their skills more directly: in the teaching
profession (from the primary through graduate school
levels), in museums and archives, or in the expanding field
of historical preservation work.
The department offers programs leading to the Bachelor of
Arts degree in history, the Master of Arts in history, and
the Doctor of Philosophy in history.
Although the department does not formally restrict
admission to its courses with regard to level, it
recommends its 300-level courses to sophomores and
above and its 400- and 500-level courses to juniors and
seniors.

histories may wish to pursue language and literature
courses in the same area; students interested in social and
institutional history may wish to pursue courses in the
social sciences such as anthropology, sociology, political
science, and economics; students interested in cultural and
intellectual history will profit by work in philosophy,
religious studies, and art and music history.

average at the time of registration and meet all other course
prerequisites.

The Department of Human Development and Family
Studies offers an undergraduate program leading to the
Bachelor of Science degree in Human Development and
Family Studies. The programs include the study of the
development of individuals and families throughout the life
span, seeking to improve their well-being through the
creation, use, and dissemination of knowledge. Programs
of study in the department are multidisciplinary, requiring
a synthesis of knowledge from the social and behavioral
sciences and from the field of education. The goal of the
Department of Human Development and Family Studies is
to provide the best opportunity in North Carolina for
undergraduates to prepare for careers in child, adolescent,
adult, and family care services; in the care and education of
children with/without disabilities from birth to
kindergarten; teaching at the preschool level; and in
cooperative extension and state agencies.
The Human Development and Family Studies major offers
students the choice of three concentrations. The Early Care
and Education concentration prepares students for careers
in child care centers and agencies, private kindergartens,
and hospital child care. Teacher licensure in Birth through
Kindergarten education prepares students to teach in North
Carolina public preschools and kindergartens. The Birth–
Kindergarten and Early Care and Education concentrations
are also available as online programs for students
transferring in with an A.A.S. degree in early childhood
from a N.C. Community College. The Child, Youth, and
Family Development concentration prepares students for
careers in family, governmental, and community service
agencies that serve children, adolescents, adults, the
elderly, and their families.
The internship program within the department provides
students with opportunities for professional experiences in
the career field of their choice. The department also
administers the Child Care Education Program at three
sites with an enrollment of 80 children in all-day care. All
serve as laboratories for the study of children and their
families.

Mission Statement
Our mission is to integrate quality instruction in
information systems and supply chain management with
relevant research and professional services. This
integration will help students develop an appropriate
background and critical skills needed to function
effectively in a global, technology-driven environment. We
strive to fulfill this mission as an integral part of the Bryan
School of Business and Economics and in support of its
mission and purposes. Our chief goal is to provide top-tier
information systems and supply chain management
programs in North Carolina as assessed by employers of
our graduates.
Programs offered by the department include study of
information technology and supply chain analysis applied
to business operations and management decision making.
Career opportunities are excellent for quality graduates of
either of the concentrations. All students in departmental
programs gain extensive experience using networked
computer systems and contemporary applications software.
The department assists professional student development,
and assists students with career planning. Students with
appropriate academic records are encouraged to seek an
internship as juniors or seniors.
Student Learning Goals
The primary Learning Goal for both the Information
Systems and Supply Chain Management concentrations is
to prepare students to utilize various information
technologies and tools and deliver enhanced business
productivity.
The following Learning Objectives have been endorsed by
the faculty to guide the development, evaluation, and
continuous improvement of the ISSC undergraduate degree
program. The first two objectives are common to both
concentrations, and these are followed by two more
objectives for the IS concentration and two more for the
SCM concentration.
• Students will be skilled in the application of
appropriate end-user computing tools to enhance
productivity.
• Students can model business data requirements and
utilize relational database technology.
Students concentrating in Information Systems will be
able to:
• Employ a systems approach and a system development
method to understand business problems.
• Design and develop business software applications.
Students concentrating in Supply Chain Management
will be able to:
• Apply process analysis to document supply chain
management components and propose improvements.
• Apply appropriate methods and techniques to analyze
and solve supply chain management problems.
Admission and Repeat Policies
Admission to the ISSC Department requires a minimum
cumulative GPA of 2.0.
Requirements in future years may be higher depending
upon departmental capacity and student demand. If
enrollments threaten program quality, students’ registration
in upper level courses will be based upon their cumulative
GPAs. Information about current ISM admission
requirements and policies is available in Rooms 479 and
301 in the Bryan Building.

The new baccalaureate program in Integrated Science
provides an opportunity for students to develop a
knowledge base in the sciences, explore one science area in
depth, and study the interconnectedness of the sciences in
real world situations. The program will be the foundation
for a comprehensive science teacher licensure program,
and provides a valuable undergraduate program for
students interested in a technical foundation to accompany
a liberal education. It will serve students interested in
technical writing, science policy, patent law, and even
professional school—a student who selects the biology or
chemistry focus would complete almost all of the core
courses recommended for pre-professional preparation.
The program includes foundation courses in biology,
chemistry, earth science, and physics. Students take at least
three upper level courses in one science area, and several
courses that investigate the nature of scientific discovery,
development of scientific knowledge, and the applications
of science.
Student Learning Objectives
1. Provide strong foundational knowledge in the
traditional disciplines of biology, chemistry, earth
science and physics.
2. Provide opportunities for students to explore science as
it integrates across the traditional disciplines.
3. Evaluate real world problems that require
interdisciplinary knowledge of the sciences.
4. Provide a program for students preparing for licensure
in comprehensive science at the secondary level.

Interior Architecture Major (IARC)—B.F.A.
Degree: Bachelor of Fine Arts
Required: 127 semester hours, to include at least 36 hours
at or above the 300 course level
AOS Code: U540
The Interior Architecture program is structured around a
continuing sequence of studio courses that help the student
develop a deepening mastery of the processes of designing
architectural interiors.
The first year presents small-scale problems that take the
student through the total design process, from problem
identification to graphic communication of the solution.
Methods of making and craft are emphasized.
Second-year design studios focus on the development of
scale and proportioning systems within the context of
interior spaces. Communication skills are stressed.
Third- and fourth-year studio courses deal with typical
interior environments, with emphasis on institutional and
commercial interiors, but also including residential design,
historic restoration, adaptive reuse, and interior product
design. Attention is also directed toward the environmental
needs of special populations.
The major requirement in IARc Experience courses (9 s.h.)
offers students opportunities for educational experiences
beyond the classroom in the form of study abroad, field
study, practicum, design thesis, concentrated electives, or a
second internship.
The Interior Architecture Internship provides opportunities
for experiential learning in design practice through private
design firms, government agencies, or health care facilities.
Accreditation
The Interior Architecture program is accredited by the
Council for Interior Design Accreditation (CIDA).
Departmental Admission
Enrollment in the Interior Architecture program is limited.
Students are admitted on evidence of scholastic and design
potential, motivation, and self-direction. A personal
interview or group orientation during a scheduled Open
House is required. Students may not enroll in interior
architecture courses without formal admission to the
Interior Architecture program or written permission of the
instructor.
Transfer students applying for advanced studio placement
must present a portfolio and transcript evidence of relevant
achievement through prior course work or experiences.
Interior Architecture Learning Community
The integrated curriculum and work environment of IARc
is recognized by UNCG as a university learning
community, affording IARc students opportunities to
enhance their experiences through prioritized class
registration, access to the New York Times learning
partnership, and subsidized field trips during their first
year.
Curriculum Policies
The policies of the Undergraduate Program were
developed with the best interests of the students in mind.
Minimum requirements for overall and studio performance
ensure that students understand the rigors of design, and by
doing well in an academic setting, will be prepared to enter
a competitive work force. Students who fall below these
standards in the protected environment of an academic
setting where faculty members are invested in each
student’s success are not likely to do well in competitive
professional practice.
• Students are expected to maintain a minimum 2.0 GPA
overall, a minimum 2.0 GPA in the IARC major, and a
minimum 2.0 in their studio courses.
• Students with less than a 2.0 GPA overall, in the IARC
major, or in any studio course, will be informed in
writing by the Department Chair that a probationary
period has begun. Students must raise their GPA and/or
studio grades to the required 2.0 during the successive
semester. Those who do not will be suspended from
active status as an Interior Architecture major for a
period of one year.
• Students earning a D+, D, D-, or F in a studio (IAR
101, IAR 102, IAR 201, IAR 202, IAR 301, IAR 302,
IAR 411, IAR 412) will be required to repeat the
course.
• Students on probation twice within a four semester
studio sequence will be suspended from active status as
Academic Departments, Programs, and Courses
2016–17 UNCG Undergraduate Bulletin
361
an Interior Architecture major for a period of one year.
Students in this situation who are enrolled in 4th- and
5th-year courses will meet with the Department Chair
to discuss their future in the department.
• Students who have been suspended for a year may then
petition the department in writing to enroll in Interior
Architecture courses. The Department Chair will
determine the conditions of re-enrollment such as
completing particular course requirements, and inform
the student in writing of the departmental decision.
• To appeal a decision regarding probation or suspension,
students may submit a letter to the Department Chair
explaining the current situation and the reason for the
appeal. After consultation with the IARc
Undergraduate Curriculum Committee, the Department
Chair will write to the student regarding his/her future
in the department.
• Students in Interior Architecture are required to
complete all course requirements before advancing to a
successive studio course, unless granted an exception in
writing by the Department Chair. Students who receive
an Incomplete, for example, in a studio course must
complete that course no later than the Friday of the first
week of classes of the successive studio. The
Department of Interior Architecture recognizes that
university policy allows a 6 month period to finish an
Incomplete course; however, due to the sequential
nature of studio courses, students must satisfy the
course requirements of each studio before advancing to
the next level. Students who do not complete the course
requirements from a previous studio within the first
week of classes will be dropped from the studio course
in which they are enrolled.
• Students are expected to complete their work in
accordance with the Academic Integrity Policy at
UNCG. The latest version is on the Dean of Students
Web site.
• Because many learning experiences occur beyond the
classroom, the Department of Interior Architecture has
an active Speaker Series and often has guests in the
department. These events and end of the semester
critiques are part of the educational experience, and
students are expected to attend. If an absence is
necessary, students must inform the faculty member
teaching their studio course of the planned absence
prior to the event.

Mission Statement
The International and Global Studies Program educates
and empowers students to be engaged global citizens. Our
interdisciplinary, liberal arts approach emphasizes
intercultural competency, strong foreign language
proficiency, and a critical understanding of the complexity
and interconnectedness of world regions and populations.
Study Abroad and other cross-cultural experiences are
also integral components of the Program. We therefore
prepare our students for a variety of public- and private-
sector careers where these qualities and experiences are
valued, as well as for graduate and professional studies in
fields with an international or global focus.
Special Programs in Liberal Studies Major

4. International/Global Experience (IGE): By the end of
their final semester of study, all IGS majors must have
completed an approved "international" or "global"
experience. This requirement will be met by
completing a qualified study-abroad experience
that satisfies the following requirements:
A Qualified Study-Abroad Experience. Study
abroad affords the greatest opportunity for total
immersion in another socio-political, economic,
and cultural context, thus enhancing knowledge,
skills, and dispositions central to the major. In
addition, course work completed during study
abroad typically has application toward the
major's curricular requirements (especially IGS's
foreign language and/or Additional Course
requirements). The following characteristics shall
distinguish such an experience as "qualified":
• Any semester- or year-long study abroad
experience with exchange partners arranged
through UNCG's International Programs Center
(IPC).
• A short-term or summer study-abroad program
approved by IPC or the IGS Director and
equivalent to at least 6 semester hours of
academic credit.
Note: whenever possible, students should select a
study abroad site that affords an immersion
experience for the foreign language they are
studying to meet the IGS FL requirement.
Confirmation of completion of this requirement will be
documented on the IGS Degree Audit following review of
the student's UNCG transcript or UNCG degree evaluation.
This audit will be submitted to the Registrar's Office at the
end of the major's program of study.
Study Abroad Alternative: In circumstances where study
abroad is unfeasible (e.g., in cases of serious financial or
personal hardship) or redundant (e.g., in cases of
international students), a major must submit a "Study
Abroad Alternative" request to the IGS director, who will
assess the validity of the case. Should the study abroad
obligation be waived, the IGE requirement should be met
by completing the UNCG Global Leadership Program
(GLP) by the student's final semester of study. The GLP
offers students who are interested in international and
global societies and issues an opportunity to hone the range
of skills necessary to develop as global leaders. Through a
combination of experiences involving work with
immigrants and refugees in the local community and/or
foreign students on campus, GLP participants will prepare
themselves to become engaged world citizens with an
appreciation of the importance of intercultural
understanding.
Additional alternatives may be available. Contact the IGS
director for details.

As the university's central point of contact for all of its
international activities, IPC does many things that help
increase the diversity of UNCG's faculty and students.
Study Abroad
A UNCG student in good standing may spend a summer,
semester, or academic year abroad in several ways.
Academic Year and Semester Abroad
Programs
UNCG Exchange Programs
Through various exchange agreements, a UNCG
student may swap places with a student in another
country. Under these arrangements, students study
abroad for approximately the cost of being in
residence at UNCG. Students can choose from
over ninety exchange partner programs in more
than forty-five countries. Examples of our partner
program locations include Australia, Botswana,
Canada, Chile, China, Estonia, Finland, France,
Germany, Italy, Japan, Korea, Mexico, New
Zealand, Peru, Poland, South Africa, Spain,
Sweden, Turkey, and the United Kingdom. As a
member of ISEP (a Virginia-based exchange
organization), UNCG is also able to place students
in any one of 300 member institutions in 42
countries overseas. The cost of such study is about
the same as being in residence at UNCG.
The University of North Carolina Exchange
Programs (UNC-EP)
Through this UNC system-wide program
(headquartered at UNCG), UNCG is able to place
students in any of eight countries overseas. These
programs are available through UNC-EP
negotiated exchange agreements. The cost of such
study is about the same as being in residence at
UNCG.
Semester Abroad Programs
UNCG offers other study abroad semester
programs to several countries including India and
Russia. Although not student exchange programs,
these study abroad options are nonetheless less
costly than study abroad opportunities offered
through most other providers.
Non-UNCG Programs
A UNCG student may spend a summer, semester,
or year abroad under the auspices of a group or
institution approved by the UNCG Study Abroad
Committee. While generally more costly than
ISEP or the UNCG programs, this option may be
of interest to students seeking particular
experiences not otherwise available.
Short-Term Faculty-Led Summer Abroad
Programs
UNCG professors regularly lead student groups overseas.
Over the past few years, groups have gone to such
countries as Costa Rica, France, Greece, Spain, United
Kingdom, and Zambia. These programs generally involve
five or six weeks of supervised travel and study in the
summer or for shorter periods throughout the year. Several
exchange partner universities also offer summer study and
internships abroad as well.
International Student and Scholar Services
UNCG is home to 600 international students and scholars
who represent 90 countries around the world. Specific
services and advocacy are provided by the International
Student and Scholar Services (ISSS) for degree-seeking
international students and visiting scholars, including
faculty, researchers, and observers. IPC provides services
from the time of initial contact through the student or
scholar's entire experience at the university.
Committees
All study abroad and international students and scholars
activities are carefully supervised by the UNCG Study
Abroad Committee and the International Students and
Scholars Services Committee.
INTERNATIONAL PROGRAMS COURSES (IPC)
IPC 300 Applied Leadership Skills for a Global World
(3:3)

understanding of world languages, literatures, and cultures
within the context of a liberal and humanistic education.
We afford students experiences that highlight oral and
written literacy, literary analysis, critical skills, and
cultural and aesthetic appreciation through instruction in
literature, culture, and linguistics in various languages,
including American Sign Language, Chinese, French,
German, Japanese, Russian, and Spanish.
The Department offers the following programs:
• Languages, Literatures, and Cultures major with the
following concentrations:
• Applied Languages: French K–12 Teaching
Licensure
• Applied Languages: Spanish K–12 Teaching
Licensure
• French and Francophone Studies
• German Studies
• Global Languages and Communities
• Spanish Major
• Minors: Chinese, French, German, Russian,
and Spanish
• The Department also offers a sequence of courses in
Italian, Japanese, and Portuguese.
The Department contributes to various concentrations in
the International and Global Studies program and the
major in International Business Studies. We take very
seriously our role in preparing students to apply their
liberal arts education to future careers in areas such as
education, business, health professions, and public service.
We also offer Master of Arts and Master of Education
degrees with concentrations in French and Spanish and a
Post-Baccalaureate Certificate in Advanced Spanish
Language and Hispanic Cultural Studies to provide further
scholarly and professional training.
Through its courses, degree programs, and cocurricular
activities, the Department contributes to the university’s
goal of promoting diversity and internationalizing the
curriculum. We foster students’ abilities to communicate
within a global context and to reflect on their own heritage
by supporting exchange and study abroad programs. The
Department is also committed to promoting an atmosphere
in which creativity and scholarly accomplishment may
flourish for both students and faculty. Through our
engaged teaching, innovative research and creative
activity, and dedicated service, the faculty works to
improve pedagogy, scholarship, and the community.
The Department promotes cocurricular activities through
language clubs, honorary societies, film series, and other
opportunities. Paid or unpaid internships requiring foreign
language skills are increasingly available. Students may
elect to live in the Global Village or UNCG’s International
House and are encouraged to participate in study abroad
opportunities through UNCG’s International Programs
Center or through Summer Study Abroad sponsored by the
Department.
German Studies and Russian Studies Consortia offer a
broad array of German and Russian courses in language,
literature, and culture taught by specialists in the UNC
system through the N.C. Information Superhighway.
Students with special learning needs may qualify for the
Modified Foreign Language Program in Spanish.
Registration in the program requires written permission
from the Department. Native or near-native speakers
must consult with an appropriate departmental advisor
before signing up for courses in the Department of
Languages, Literatures, and Cultures. Students with one
or more years of Chinese or Japanese must contact the
course instructor or a departmental advisor before
registering for courses.
Intermediate proficiency (equivalent to 204 or 241 level) is
expected for major-level work in French, German, or
Spanish. Students cannot receive credit for lower-level
courses after taking and receiving credit for higher level
ones.

Language Placement Test in French, German,
Russian, or Spanish
Students with one or more years of high school French,
German, Russian, or Spanish who wish to continue the
study of that same language at UNCG must take the
Language Placement Test.
Incoming transfer students returning to the study of
French, German, Russian, or Spanish begun in high school
but not previously pursued at the college level, must also
take the test. Transfer students with college-level foreign
languages credit are encouraged to take the placement
test to determine their best starting point.
The Language Placement Test is administered at SOAR
orientation sessions during the summer and before the
beginning of each semester. The test may also be taken
during the year on an individual basis, by appointment, in
the Department’s office. Students should call the
Department at 336-334-5655 to schedule their
appointment.
Language Placement Test scores are valid for one year
after the test is taken. The test can be taken only once a
year. Once a student has begun the lower-level
sequence (101–204/241), she or he cannot retake the
placement test in order to place out of any of the
remaining courses in the sequence.
A student who scores at the interview-stage level and is
planning to continue in the language at the 300 level
should consult the Director of Undergraduate Study for the
appropriate language or another designated faculty member
before registering for any other course in the language. The
advisor will interview the student in order to determine his
or her placement at the 300 level or recommend courses at
the intermediate level to reinforce the student’s
background in language.
If a student who scores at the interview-stage level does
not plan to continue study in the language, the Department
of Languages, Literatures, and Cultures will confirm the
student’s Language Placement Test scores with the
University Registrar’s Office, and the student will be
considered as having met the foreign language requirement
at UNCG.
Students in need of additional advising or with concerns
regarding the placement results are asked to make an
appointment with a designated faculty member.

Mission Statement
The mission of the Department of Management is to
support the mission of the Bryan School, primarily through
the imparting of knowledge through instructional programs
and secondarily through the creation of knowledge through
basic and applied research. A third priority is to provide
service through involvement in university, professional and
community activities.
The Department of Management offers two majors that
lead to the Bachelor of Science degree: Business
Administration and International Business Studies. The
Business Administration major is comprised of two
concentrations: Business Studies and Human Resources.
Business Administration Major
The objective of the Business Administration major is to
provide liberally educated students with a broad exposure
to the functional areas of business and a more
comprehensive understanding of one of the managerial
specialties through a choice of a concentration:
Business Studies is most appropriate for those who
want a broad business exposure without the need to
concentrate specifically in only one functional area. (A
student can complete the Business Studies
concentration by careful planning of the Career Profile.)
Human Resources focuses on skills and knowledge
needed by the professional human resources manager:
job analysis, recruiting, screening, selection, training
and development, performance appraisal, job
evaluation, and salary administration.
International Business Studies Major
The International Business Studies major is distinctive in
the Bryan School by requiring experiences and competence
in areas such as language and study abroad that are not
required in other business programs. The need to
understand other cultures, societies, and economies is met
by requiring/recommending more in liberal education and
related areas than is required in General Education
requirements for other business programs.

The Department of Mathematics and Statistics offers
undergraduate programs leading to the B.A. and B.S.
degrees in Mathematics, as well as a minor in Mathematics
and a minor in Statistics. The goal of all of the
department’s programs is to produce students who are both
technically competent and sufficiently well grounded in
theory that they can contribute to fundamental research in
their chosen specialty.
To give a professional direction to the student’s liberal arts
education, the mathematics major may choose a
concentration in mathematics, statistics, or high school
licensure. There are many opportunities for math majors
in industry, actuarial sciences, government, business, and
secondary school teaching. The mathematics programs
also provide excellent preparation for graduate studies in
many areas, including computer science, economics,
engineering, law, mathematics, operations research, and
statistics.

semester of their junior year. Please review requirements
on their Web pge. Consult the Teacher Education
Handbook for details. A criminal background check is a
required part of the admisssion process.
Admission to Student Teaching
During the junior year, students already admittted to the
Teacher Education Program must apply for admission to
student teaching. Admission includes:
1. Completion of requirements specific to the major with
the possible exception of the 500-level MAT course.
2. Eligibility to enter student teaching requires
maintaining an overall GPA of 3.0 or better and a
major GPA of 2.50 or better after being admitted to the
concentration, and achieving a grade of C or better in
each major course and in each professional course.
After admission to the concentration, if a student fails
to maintain an overall GPA of 3.0, the student has one
semester to improve his or her grade point average. If a
student receives a C- or lower in a professional course,
the student is eligible to retake the course at its next
offering. After admission to the concentration, if a
student fails to maintain a major GPA of 2.50, the
student has one semester to improve his or her grade
point average. If a student receives a C- or lower in a
major course, the student is eligible to retake the course
at its next offering.
Application to student teaching forms are available online
at http://oss.uncg.edu/formsapplications. Forms must be
submitted by February 15 for student teaching in the spring
of the following year. Student teaching assignments are
usually made in schools within commuting distance of
UNCG. Teacher Education students are individually
responsible for expenses incurred during student teaching,
including transportation. Note: Student Teaching is
offered only in the spring semester.
Application for Teacher Licensure
An application for licensure should be filed with the
School of Education Office of Student Services within two
weeks of graduation. Students should be aware that the
licensure process will take six weeks or longer after
graduation to be be completed. UNCG recommends for a
teacher's licensure those students who have completed the
appropriate teacher education program, attained acceptable
competencies, and whose work has been approved by the
appropriate department.
Passing scores on the Praxis II (subject-area exams) are no
longer required by the state to be recommended for
licensure in secondary mathematics; however, successful
completion of the Praxis II is required within three years of
licensure. The Department of Mathematics and Statistics
recommeneds that a student intending to be licensed take
the Praxis II before graduation upon completion of their
major courses. (Lateral-entry teachers are required to take
the Praxis II.) To be licensed in North Carolina, students
must meet the specific state requirements for licensure in
effect at the time of their application for licensure,
including demonstration of technology competencies.

The Department of Media Studies offers a Bachelor of Arts
in Media Studies. The Media Studies major is an integrated
program of study that focuses on the creative production
and critical consumption of a range of moving-image
media. Majors have opportunities to study and produce
narrative and documentary film, interdisciplinary media
productions, fictional and nonfictional television, and
video journalism. Students can craft their own program of
study, drawing from courses on various aspects of film,
video, and digital media production: media and
screenwriting; media theory, history, and criticism; and
news reporting and analysis. Students seeking vocational
specializations should pursue relevant post-baccalaureate
studies. The Department's rich and varied curriculum is
matched by an extensive cocurricular program that
includes opportunities to participate in on-campus media
productions, the student-run campus radio station WUAG,
and other client- based and internship programs.
The Department also offers two minors: a nonproduction
Media Studies minor and a Radio minor, each requiring 18
semester hours of courses.
The Department is housed in the Brown Building and in
the Carmichael Radio and Television Center. The
Department's faculty is comprised of talented media
creators and scholars with excellent reputations as teachers.
Students are encouraged to collaborate with faculty as a
means of enriching their course of study.

Undergraduate students in Music Performance pursue
rigorous professional training in music along with a broad
liberal arts education. Our students graduate as informed,
responsible citizens with the tools to succeed and
communicate effectively as musicians of the 21st century.
Undergraduate students in Music Education pursue
rigorous professional training in music teacher education
along with a broad liberal arts education that prepares them
for positions as choral directors (principal performance
area usually voice, piano, or organ), teachers of general
music, or for positions as instrumental directors (principal
performance area in orchestral or band instruments) in
public schools. Our students graduate earning a Standard
Professional 1 (SP1) North Carolina Educator’s License
and are prepared as informed, responsible citizens with the
tools to succeed and communicate effectively as musicians
and educators of the twenty-first century. Music education
students acquire valuable early field teaching experience in
a wide variety of P-12 school settings beginning the
Freshman year and continuing throughout the degree
program.
Located in artistically-thriving Greensboro, Winston-
Salem, and High Point, the Triad area provides a wealth of
cultural and academic opportunities for our students.
Students regularly attend and perform in concerts by the
Greensboro Symphony Orchestra, the Greensboro Opera
Company, the Winston-Salem Symphony and the Eastern
Music Festival along with a myriad of musical theatre,
jazz, and chamber music ensembles. They may also attend
lectures, conferences, and symposia at UNCG and other
universities in the Triad or Triangle areas.
We welcome students who will strive for excellence and
will contribute to the inclusiveness and diversity of our
mission.
Performance Studies

Student Learning Goals
The Bachelor of Arts degree with a major in music
indicates the study of music in a liberal arts degree
framework. It emphasizes a broad coverage of music rather
than heavy concentration on any single segment. Studies
develop musicianship, capabilities in the use of principles
and procedures that lead to an intellectual grasp of the art,
and the ability to perform. It serves individuals who seek a
broad program of general education rather than intense
specialization.

Mission Statement
UNCG School of Nursing is a learner-centered community
preparing nurse generalists, advanced practice nurses,
educators, and researchers to make a difference in the lives
of individuals, families, populations, and communities.
The School of Nursing offers an undergraduate program
leading to the Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree. The
first two years of study are in general education, basic
sciences, and humanities. The majority of work in the
junior and senior years is in nursing.
The School of Nursing offers a Master of Science in
Nursing degree to prepare persons for a leadership role in
nursing education and administration. The School, along
with the Bryan School of Business and Economics, offers
the M.S.N./M.B.A. The School of Nursing offers the Ph.D.
in Nursing to prepare nurses as scientists in academia and
industry and the D.N.P to prepare advanced practice nurses
and executive nurse leaders.
Accreditation
The pre-licensure Bachelor of Science in Nursing program
offered by the School of Nursing is approved by the North
Carolina Board of Nursing. The B.S.N. program is
accredited by the Accreditation Commission for Education
in Nursing (ACEN), 3343 Peachtree Road NE, Suite 850,
Atlanta, Georgia 30326, or on the Web at
www.acenursing.org.
The B.S.N. program is accredited by the Commission on
Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE), One Dupont
Circle, NW, Suite 530, Washington, DC 20036-1120, or on
the Web at http://aacn.nche.edu/ccne-accreditation.
Philosophy
The philosophy of the faculty at the School of Nursing is a
statement of the beliefs and values they hold about the
discipline and profession of nursing as well as nursing
education. The conceptual framework and the goals of the
undergraduate and graduate programs are built upon this
philosophy.
Nursing is both a practice discipline and a profession.
Comprising the discipline is a unique body of knowledge
that is integral to nursing practice, nursing education, and
nursing administration. The body of knowledge is
continuously developed and refined as an outcome of
scientific, historical, philosophical, and ethical inquiry.
Nursing knowledge is generated about health experiences
and behaviors of persons across the life span. Testing and
validation of interventions used in nursing practice
generates evidence to support best practices. The
metaparadigm concepts of person, environment, health,
and nursing form the foundation upon which inquiry and
the profession are based.
Academic Departments, Programs, and Courses
550 2016–17 UNCG Undergraduate Bulletin
Nurses use knowledge developed by the discipline to
promote optimal health in people and to achieve
professional goals. Nursing is an essential component of
the health care delivery system and includes the promotion
of wellness, the detection of alterations in health, and the
provision of care for those with illness, disease, or
dysfunctions. Professional nursing is characterized by
inquiry, caring, and practice. Nurses are professionally,
ethically, and legally accountable for the care they provide,
and their practice includes independent and collaborative
functions.
Nursing education is built upon a foundation of a broad
general education and professional nursing curriculum that
provides opportunities for learners to attain knowledge and
competencies required to practice nursing. Mature learners
identify their own learning needs and assume responsibility
for continued learning. Effective teachers establish an
inviting learner-centered environment that promotes
collaboration among themselves and their learners for
achievement of educational goals. Baccalaureate education
prepares nurses to practice as generalists, while specialty
education at the master’s level prepares advanced practice
registered nurses, administrators, and educators. At the
doctoral level, nurses are prepared as scientists to practice
in academia and industry and as advanced practice
registered nurses for delivery of healthcare.
Admission & Progression
Admission for Pre-licensure Students
Students must be formally admitted to the School of
Nursing which is an upper division major. Only students
who have formal, written acceptance into the School will
be permitted to register in nursing courses and complete
work for the major. Admission should normally be sought
during the sophomore year. The application deadline is
February 1 of each year. Applications are obtained from
the Advising Center in the School of Nursing. Transcripts
from all post-secondary schools attended must be
submitted with the application.
Technical Standards for Academic
Progression, and Graduation in the B.S.N.
Pre-licensure Nursing Program
Consistent with its mission and philosophy, the School of
Nursing at The University of North Carolina at Greensboro
is committed to providing educational opportunities to
students. The School of Nursing programs prepare students
to think critically and practice nursing competently and
compassionately in rapidly changing practice
environments. All efforts are designed to build nursing
knowledge, enhance nursing practice and patient safety,
foster professional integrity, and ultimately improve the
health outcomes of individuals, families, groups, and
communities across the continuum of care.
In addition, certain functional abilities are essential for the
delivery of safe, effective nursing care. The technical
standards listed below must be met by all students in order
to remain in the program. In the event that a student is
unable to meet these technical standards, with or without
reasonable accommodations, the student will not be
allowed to remain enrolled in or to graduate from the
program.

Process for Requesting Reasonable
Accommodation
Optional Disclosure Prior to Admission. Candidates for
admission to the School of Nursing are not required, prior
to admission, to disclose that they will require reasonable
accommodations in order to meet the Technical Standards.
Candidates may, however, voluntarily disclose prior to
admission the fact that they will require reasonable
accommodations to meet the Technical Standards. If the
student elects voluntarily disclosure before admission, this
information will not be considered by the university on the
question of whether the student should be admitted.
Instead, assuming the student is admitted, the information
will be used after admission to determine whether the
student will be provided any requested accommodations
pursuant to the process described below.
Disclosure After Admission. If the student timely
requests a reasonable accommodation, an interactive
process involving the student, Associate Dean for
Academic Programs in the School of Nursing, relevant
faculty members and the Office of Accessibility Resources
and Services will be commenced to determine what, if any,
accommodations will be provided to the student.
In all cases where a student has timely requested an
accommodation, the student must cooperate with the
Associate Dean for Academic Programs in the School of
Nursing and Office of Accessibility Resources and
Services in an interactive process to determine whether the
student is qualified for accommodations and what, if any,
accommodations will be provided pursuant to applicable
laws. The Office of Accessibility Resources and Services
will assist the student in coordinating documentation and
evaluation of the student, which may include asking the
student to provide requested documentation of a qualified
disability.
No accommodation will be offered that would jeopardize
the safety of patients or clients or the university student.
No accommodation will be offered that would
fundamentally alter or substantially compromise these
technical standards or any other academic standards
deemed essential to graduation by the university, including
all course work, fieldwork, clinical practica, and
internships.
Minimum Criteria to Declare or Remain a
Pre-Nursing Major Prior to Admission to the
Clinical Courses, Pre-licensure Program
1. Students must have either: 1) an SAT Critical Reading
score of at least 500 and an SAT Mathematics score of
at least 500 or 2) an ACT Composite score of at least
21 to declare pre-Nursing (PNUR) as their major as
incoming freshmen. Incoming freshmen who are
initially ineligible to declare pre-Nursing as their major
may change their major to pre-Nursing after successful
completion of fifteen (15) semester hours of course
work at UNCG with a GPA of at least 3.0.
2. Pre-nursing majors must earn and maintain a 3.0 or
higher GPA in order to remain a declared pre-nursing
major. Students with a GPA below 3.0 must change to
a major other than Nursing.
3. Students wishing to change their major to pre-nursing
from another major must have a 3.0 or higher
cumulative UNCG GPA to do so.
4. Incoming transfer and second-degree students must
have a transfer GPA of 3.0 or greater to declare pre-
nursing as their major upon admission to the university.
Minimum Criteria for Admission:
1. Overall grade point average of 3.0 or higher
2. A grade of C (2.0) or better in each of the following
courses:
BIO 271 Human Anatomy

successfully completed.
Admission to the university does not guarantee acceptance
into the nursing major. Various health care agencies in
Piedmont North Carolina cooperate with the School of
Nursing in providing clinical learning experiences for
students. The size of each incoming junior class is
determined by the availability of these clinical resources.
Therefore, it is impossible to assure space for every student
who meets the criteria.

from one or more of these required courses are
considered to have withdrawn from the program and
must apply for readmission prior to enrolling in the
next semester.
Grading in Practicum and Laboratory
A grade of unsatisfactory in lab or clinical practicum in
nursing courses will result in a course grade of F.
Appeal Procedure Related to Progression
Policies
If a student wishes to appeal a policy in the School of
Nursing, the student should complete a “Student Appeal
Request.” The Student Appeals Committee hears student
appeals. Students may obtain the request form and discuss

Clinical Information
1. Nursing majors are required to purchase uniforms—
estimated cost is $180. Uniforms are required for
clinical activities in the 200- to 400-level nursing
courses. Students usually purchase uniforms in the
second semester of the sophomore year.
2. Students will be charged for costs associated with
course activities, including the cost of liability
(malpractice) insurance (required for students in any
clinical course), end of program diagnostic or
assessment tests, and junior level lab kits.
3. Students enrolled in 200- to 400-level courses with a
clinical component are responsible for their own
transportation to and from the agencies used for clinical
activities/practicum experiences. Car owners are
reminded that current liability insurance is required by
North Carolina law.
4. Students admitted to the major must provide evidence
of the following by July 1 (forms will be sent to
students earlier in the summer):
Academic Departments, Programs, and Courses
554 2016–17 UNCG Undergraduate Bulletin
a. Negative two-step Mantoux skin testing for
tuberculosis, followed by annual Mantoux skin
testing; or annual Quantiferon blood testing for
tuberculosis. If test is positive, a chest X-ray is
required annually.
b. A tetanus toxoid immunization—every ten years
with at least one Tetanus, Diphtheria and Pertussis
(Tdap)immunization since age 12 years.
c. Rubella and Measles evidence as required by the
university
d. Evidence of a positive titer for Mumps or evidence
of two doses of Mumps vaccine (evidence of 2
MMR is acceptable)
e. Evidence of chicken pox immunization or positive
titer
f. Evidence of Hepatitis B immunization. Students
who begin their series of immunizations after
January 1, 2007 must also have evidence of a post-
vaccination positive titer, or evidence of
revaccination, unless they are still in the initial
course of immunization. For students in the pre-
licensure program, the initial series must be started
prior to the first year of clinical, and a positive titer
or evidence of beginning the second series of
immunization is required prior to the start of the
second year of clinical.
g. Evidence of immunization against influenza
(seasonal flu shot) in the last 12 months or
declination form on file in the School of Nursing—
annual requirement
h. Evidence of certification by the American Heart
Association in Health Care Provider
cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Students
must remain continuously certified in American
Heart Association Health Care Provider CPR.
i. Satisfactory evaluation signed by the student’s
physician, nurse practitioner, or physician’s
assistant indicating the applicant’s physical and
emotional health to provide nursing care.
Rarely, immunization requirements must be changed
on short notice. Students will be informed of changes
as soon as they occur.
5. Registered nurse students are responsible for items
listed under “General Information”, with the following
modifications:
a. Registered nurses are not required to purchase
uniforms, but must wear identifying name tags and
lab coats or uniforms appropriate to the clinical
setting. Specific requirements will be discussed in
each clinical course.
b. Immunization requirements listed must be on file in
the School of Nursing prior to beginning a clinical
course. Forms are sent to students who
preregistered for clinical courses. Students who do
not preregister and have not received the
immunization forms should stop by the Advising
Center of the School of Nursing to obtain the forms.
c. The letter of physical and emotional health to
provide nursing care is not required for Registered
Nurse students.
6. Students are responsible for all costs associated with
their own health care. On-campus students taking six
(6) or more credit hours are required to have health
insurance. Other students are encouraged to have health
insurance, and to be familiar with its provisions.
7. Beginning January 1, 2005, all nursing students must
have an approved criminal background check prior to
beginning clinical activity. For RN to B.S.N. students,
results must be submitted prior to beginning NUR 474
or any other course with a clinical component (by
August 1 for fall semester or December 1 for spring
semester). For students in the pre-licensure program,
results must be submitted by July 1, prior to enrolling
in the required 300-level nursing courses. The
university has contracted with Certiphi.com to perform
this service. The cost is to be paid by the student.
The results will be kept in the student’s School of Nursing
file and will be destroyed upon graduation, withdrawal, or
termination from the program. The Assistant Dean for
Academic Affairs will receive the results of the criminal
background check of each undergraduate student. The
School will not use this information in any way except to
verify to clinical agencies that students have been
subjected to the background check and to release a copy of
the information to the agency, if requested. Students must
sign two release forms (copies available in the Student
Affairs Office), which will authorize the release of the
information to the clinical agency, if requested. Directions
on obtaining the background check are available in
the Student Affairs Office.
This criminal background check does not replace the one
that will be done by the N.C. Board of Nursing prior to
initial licensure as a registered nurse (see item #6).
8. Beginning July 1, 2009, all students must have a
negative urine drug screen by a National Institute of
Drug Abuse (NIDA)-approved lab prior to clinical
activity. The screen must test for the following drugs:

School of Nursing are willing to allow a student to
participate in clinical activities at that agency because
of information gathered from urine drug screen testing,
background check, or other pre-clinical screening
required by clinical agencies, the student will be
required to withdraw from the nursing program.
Policies for Nurses
Unsafe Practice Policy
The nursing faculty of the School of Nursing have an
academic, legal, and ethical responsibility to prepare
graduates who are competent as well as to protect the
public and health care community from unsafe nursing
practice. It is within this context that students can be
disciplined or dismissed from the School of Nursing for
practice or behavior which threatens or has the potential to
threaten the safety of a client, a family member or
substitute familial person, another student, a faculty
member, or other health care provider.
I. Student Awareness
All students are expected to be familiar with the
principles of safe practice and are expected to perform
in accordance with these requirements. Within courses,
counseling and advising processes, and other
instructional forums, students will be provided with the
opportunity to discuss the policy and its implications.
II. Definition
An unsafe practice is defined as:
1. An act or behavior of the type which violates the North
Carolina Nursing Practice Act, Article 9 of Chapter 90
of the North Carolina General Statutes (NCGS §90-
171.37; §90-171.44)
2. An act or behavior of the type which violates the Code
of Ethics for Nurses of the American Nurses’
Association
3. An act or behavior which threatens or has the potential
to threaten the physical, emotional, mental or
environmental safety of the client, a family member or
substitute familial person, another student, a faculty
member or other health care provider
4. An act of behavior (commission or omission) which
constitutes nursing practice for which a student is not
authorized or educated at the time of the incident.
III. Investigation and Evaluation of an Unsafe Practice
When an incident occurs which a faculty member
believes may constitutes an unsafe practice, he/she
shall immediately notify the student and instruct the
student to leave the clinical setting. The faculty
member will notify the Course Chair and/or Program
Director within the School of Nursing.
The Course Chair and/or Program Director will
investigate the incident within three working days to
determine whether there are grounds for believing that
an unsafe practice has occurred. If the incident is
minor, the faculty member, in consultation with the
Course Chair or Program Director may require
remedial work or instruction for the student.
If the incident is major, the Course Chair or Program
Director, in consultation with the involved faculty
member, will review the student’s clinical performance
evaluations, academic record, and potential for
successful completion of the major in nursing. Based
upon this careful and deliberate review, a decision to
reprimand the student, require withdrawal from the
clinical course, or to dismiss the student from the
School will be made.
The Dean will be informed of the decision and will
send written notification of the decision to the student
via certified mail.
Should the student wish to appeal the decision, the
student will submit a written request to the School of
Nursing Appeals Committee. The Program Director
will provide the accumulated correspondence or
documentation related to the issue to the committee. A
request for an appeal should occur within seven (7)
working days of receipt of written notification of the
decision from the Dean.
IV. Hearing Process
The Chair of the School of Nursing Appeals Committee
will thereafter notify the student, the faculty member,
Course Chair, and Program Director as to the time and
place for a hearing.
The Committee will hold a closed hearing within ten
(10) working days of receipt of the request for an
appeal, at which time the faculty member, Course
Chair, and Program Director may be present and
provide documentation and other oral or written
evidence regarding the incident. The student may be
present and will be given an opportunity to provide
documentation and other oral or written evidence
regarding the incident. The student will be allowed an
advocate/support person at the hearing; however, the
support person cannot be an attorney, and will not be
permitted to speak.
Following the factual presentation, the Committee will
convene in executive session to review the actions
Academic Departments, Programs, and Courses
556 2016–17 UNCG Undergraduate Bulletin
taken against the student for unsafe practice and to
make a recommendation regarding the resolution of the
incident. The Committee will base its recommendation
on the evidence presented at the hearing. The
Committee shall make its recommendation in writing to
the Dean and forward pertinent documentation.
The Committee may recommend the following
remedies: support for the action taken, remedial work
or instruction, a reprimand, withdrawal from the
course, or dismissal from the School of Nursing.
V. Post-Hearing Process
The Dean may accept or reject the Committee’s
recommendation. The Dean’s decision will be made
after review of the minutes of the hearing and report of
the Committee. The Dean will notify the student and
the faculty member(s) as to the decision made.
Dismissal from the School of Nursing does not
constitute dismissal from the university.
A student who has been dismissed may reapply for
admission to the School of Nursing. The application
will be reviewed by the School of Nursing Appeals
Committee.
Graduate students in the School of Nursing should refer
to the Graduate School Bulletin for the "Policy on
Unsafe Practice" for graduate students.
Students can be dismissed from the School of Nursing for
physical and/or emotional problems that do not respond to
appropriate treatment and/or counseling within a
reasonable period of time.
I. Investigation and Evaluation
When faculty members identify a student that presents
physical and/or emotional problems that do not respond
to appropriate treatment and/or counseling, they
immediately suspend the student from the course.
Faculty notify the Course Chair and/or Program
Director within the School of Nursing. Upon
determination by the faculty, Course Chair, and
Program Director, that the physical and/or emotional
problems warrant dismissal from the School of
Nursing, the Dean will be notified. The Dean, in
consultation with the faculty, and upon review of the
documentation, will make a decision regarding
dismissal of the student from the School of Nursing.
The Dean will send written notification of the decision
to the student. Should the student wish to appeal the
decision the student will submit a written request to the
School of Nursing Appeals Committee. The Dean will
provide the accumulated correspondence or
documentation related to the issue to the committee.
A request for an appeal should occur within seven
working days of written notification of the decision
from the Dean.
II. Hearing Process
The Chair of the School of Nursing Appeals Committee
will thereafter notify the student, the faculty member,
the Course Chair, and Program Director as to the time
and place for a hearing to determine whether the
physical and/or emotional problems warrant dismissal.
The committee will hold a closed hearing within ten
working days at which time the faculty member,
Course Chair, and Program Director will be present and
will provide documentation and other oral or written
evidence regarding the incident. The student will be
present and will be given opportunity to provide
documentation and other oral or written evidence
regarding the problem.
The student will be allowed an advocate/support person
at the hearing; however, the support person cannot be
an attorney, and will not be permitted to speak.
Following the factual presentation, the Committee will
convene in executive session to determine whether the
problem warrants dismissal from the School. The
Committee shall make its recommendation in writing to
the Dean and forward pertinent documentation. The
Committee may recommend dismissal from the School
of Nursing major, or reinstatement in the program.
III. Post-Hearing Process
The Dean may accept, reject, or modify the
Committee’s recommendation. The Dean’s decision
will be made after review of the minutes of the hearing
and report of the Committee. The Dean will notify the
student and the faculty member(s) as to the
determination.
Dismissal from the School of Nursing does not
constitute dismissal from the university.
A student who has been dismissed may reapply for
admission to the School of Nursing under the
provisions published in the Undergraduate Bulletin.

Veteran's Access Program in Nursing
The UNCG VAP will have three tracks:
• one for the non-RN veteran student who wishes to
accelerate the program,
• one for the non-RN veteran student who wishes to
receive military experience credit for some courses but
not accelerate their nursing program,
• and one for the RN veteran student in the RN to B.S.N.
concentration.
All VAP students will need 122 s.h. to graduate. This may
be comprised of transfer credit, credit earned at UNCG, or
credit by competency testing and/or exam; however,
31 s.h. of course work must be taken at UNCG.
UNCG grants 6 s.h. for military experience and basic
training.
VAP students' Joint Services transcript will be assessed
individually to determine specific General Education
course requirements, using American Council for
Education (ACE) principles. This process will be used to
determine learning gaps for each VAP student. A learning
gap analysis will determine the specific courses for which
the veteran may be eligible to receive credit through
transfer credit evaluation, competency skills testing, and
standardized examination.
Overall VAP requirements for the Nursing major are
detailed with the information for the general Nursing
major.

Nutrition Major (NUTR)—B.S.
Degree: Bachelor of Science
Required: 122 semester hours, to include at least 36 hours
at or above the 300 course level
Available Concentrations and AOS Codes:
Human Nutrition and Dietetics, U552 (and Didactic
Program in Dietetics)
Nutrition Science, U550
Nutrition and Wellness, U533
The Department of Nutrition offers course instruction,
research experience, and fieldwork opportunities. The
curriculum is designed to train students in the following
three areas of focus:
1. Human Nutrition and Dietetics —develops and
educates students to work as agricultural extension
agents; dietitians in hospitals, long-term care facilities
and public health programs; nutrition education
specialists; sports nutrition; consultants and
entrepreneurs. The Human Nutrition and Dietetics
concentration is the Didactic Program in Dietetics and
meets the academic requirements of the Academy of
Nutrition and Dietetics (AND). Students completing
this concentration meet academic requirements to be
eligible to apply to a dietetic internship or
preprofessional practice program. The Didactic
Program of Dietetics is currently granted approval
status by the Accreditation Council for Education in
Nutrition and Dietetics (ACEND) of the Academy of
Nutrition and Dietetics (AND), 120 S. Riverside Plaza,
Suite 2000, Chicago, IL 60606, 312/899-0040.
2. Nutrition Science —prepares students for entry into
medical, dental, chiropractic or graduate school; trains
students for research and development in the
biomedical, biotechnical, and pharmaceutical
industries.
3. Nutrition and Wellness —provides instruction and
experience in the basic nutritional sciences, community
nutrition, public health education, and kinesiology,
enabling graduates to work in a variety of settings such
as voluntary and community health organizations,
health care, government, education, and the fitness
industry. This concentration also prepares students for
graduate training in nutrition, public health education,
and kinesiology.
Criteria for Progression in the Major
New first year and transfer students are required to have a
minimum 2.50 cumulative GPA to be admitted to the B.S.
in Nutrition. Additionally, all continuing students must
maintain a cumulative GPA of at least 2.50 throughout the
completion of the Nutrition major. Students that change
their Nutrition major or concentration during the academic
year will be held to the minimum 2.50 GPA requirement.
If the GPA drops below 2.50, students will be contacted in
writing by the Undergraduate Program Director indicating
that they have dropped below the threshold and will have
one semester to increase the cumulative GPA to at least
2.50. If this does not happen, the student will be dropped
from the Nutrition major the following semester.
Notifications to students will be made at the beginning of
each fall and spring semester.
A student must earn a grade of C (a C- is not acceptable) or
better in all required NTR and related area courses to
graduate in each of the three concentrations offered by the
department. Furthermore, students must earn a C or better
in prerequisite courses for NTR 531, NTR 560, and NTR
573 to enroll in these courses (see course listings). A
student may not receive credit for any NTR course by
special examination.
No NTR course or related area course for which a grade of
C (a C- is not acceptable) or better is required for the major
may be taken more than twice. Students who receive a
grade below C, which includes a C-, twice in the same
NTR course or related area course for which a grade of C
or better is required for the major will be dropped from the
major.
Suggested Academic Workload Guidelines
The faculty of the Department of Nutrition recognizes that
many of its students must hold jobs to support college
expenses. The faculty wishes to emphasize that academic
excellence and scholastic achievement usually require a
significant investment of time in study and out-of-class
Academic Departments, Programs, and Courses
2016–17 UNCG Undergraduate Bulletin
569
projects. To provide guidance to students in planning their
academic and work schedules, the faculty have endorsed
the following recommendations:
1. In general, students should plan to devote between 2–3
hours outside of class for each hour spent in class.
Thus, students with a 15-hour course load should
schedule between 30–45 hours weekly for completing
outside-of-class reading, study, and homework
assignments.
2. Students who are employed more than 5–10 hours each
week should consider reducing their course loads
(semester hours), depending upon their study habits,
learning abilities, and course work requirements.

The Department of Philosophy offers courses on the
fundamental problems and methods of philosophy, the
classics of philosophical literature, and the major figures in
the history of philosophy.
Philosophy courses fall into natural groups. See
Philosophy Course Groups as listed in the Philosophy
Major.
Groups A and B are useful preparation for careers in law
and government, and the department offers a major in
philosophy with a Prelaw concentration. Group B provides
knowledge and skills vital to careers in science and
medicine. Group C relates philosophy to other humanistic
disciplines and is vital to a liberal education. Group D is
necessary for advanced work in philosophy.
All courses under 300 and many higher level courses are
open to students without previous training in philosophy.
Prerequisites for courses may be waived at the discretion
of the instructor. Students are encouraged to begin work in
Philosophy by taking PHI 111, PHI 115, PHI 119, PHI
251, PHI 252, or PHI 310.
The department sponsors The Great Conversation, a series
of talks by UNCG Philosophy faculty and other
distinguished scholars. Lectures by philosophers from
other institutions are also offered. There is an informal
philosophy club that is open to all undergraduates,
regardless of major. The department also holds a biannual
symposium on a topic of current research in philosophy
(when the budget allows).
We are now able to offer financial assistance to Philosophy
majors planning to study abroad through our Wyatt Lee
Martin Memorial Fund. Please contact the Department for
information about this opportunity.
There is a chapter of the national philosophy honor society,
Phi Sigma Tau, at UNCG. Qualified students are invited to
join this chapter.
Each March the department considers submissions from
undergraduates for The Roger Schwirck Award for
Excellence in Philosophy.

Physics and astronomy have long been recognized as
constituting the basis for study, research, and
understanding in the natural sciences. The undergraduate
major program seeks to provide the student with a broad
and general background in all areas of physics. With this
background, the student should be able to adapt readily to
the specialized requirements of a job in industry, as a
teacher, or to the specialized graduate study in physics or a
number of related fields. Opportunities are provided
through electives to sample the concerns of many of these
related fields.
The effort required for a non-scientist to understand our
technological society is formidable, but essential if an
educated man or woman is to intelligently understand and
affect our natural surroundings. Recognizing this, the
Department of Physics and Astronomy offers for the non-
major, with no prerequisites, courses with an overview of
physics as well as special interest courses dealing with
topics of immediate concern (AST 203, AST 209, AST
235, PHY 205, PHY 333).
Its faculty members are involved with students in research
in computer simulation and computational physics,
biophysics, observational astrophysics and digital image
analysis, and science education research. The department
uses and administers the Three College Observatory,
located in a nearby dark-sky location. This observatory
contains the state’s largest (32 inch) reflecting telescope,
along with a low light-level image acquisition system.
Physics Major (PHYS)—B.A.
Degree: Bachelor of Arts
Required: 122 semester hours, to include at least 36 hours
at or above the 300 course level
AOS Code: U191
The Physics Major is a firm basis for a career in medicine,
law, business, sales, engineering, teaching, computing,
biophysics, environmental science, or physics.
Students who elect physics as a major must complete PHY
291, PHY 292 or PHY 211, PHY 212, and MAT 293 no
later than the end of their sophomore year. Any student
who desires to major in physics should contact the head of
the department as soon as possible so a proper schedule
can be planned.

Political science is the study of the government, politics
and policies of the United States and other nations; of
levels of government, such as city and state, within those
nations; and of relationships among nations. It studies the
political behavior, attitudes, and ideas of groups and
individuals.
All 100- and 200-level courses are introductions to the
study of political science. Beginning students are urged to
take any 100- or 200-level course in which they may be
interested.
Students seeking electives in political science may select
from almost the entire range of offerings. Non-majors are
urged to select their electives widely to satisfy individual
intellectual interests and are not restricted to 100- and 200-
level courses.
Internships and field experiences are available to both
majors and non-majors in national government, nonprofit
agencies, public administration, and electoral politics.

Preprofessional Programs
UNCG’s eight Preprofessional Programs offer all courses
required for admission to medical or dental schools, to
pharmacy, veterinary, occupational or physical therapy
schools, or as needed for entrance into law school. A two-
year pre-engineering curriculum prepares students to
transfer to schools with engineering programs.
The Preprofessional Programs are not majors in which
degrees can be earned, but programs of study chosen as
second majors at UNCG. Students following one of these
programs must select another academic area of study as
their first major. Students interested in pursuing one of
the Preprofessional curricula are urged to seek advising
early in their academic careers.

Students should declare the appropriate Preprofessional
second major, upon which they will be assigned to a
member of this committee for assistance in planning their
program of study as their secondary advisor. They will
also be automatically enrolled in the Preprofessional
Programs group in Canvas, which will provide resources
and communication about upcoming events, opportunities,
and deadlines.
The admission requirements vary slightly among the
various schools and programs. For specific information
students should review the Web sites of the medical,
dental, and veterinary medical schools that they are
interested in applying to. Other sources of information are
current volumes of Medical School Admission
Requirements and Admission Requirements of American
Dental Schools.
The Preprofessional Programs constitute a core of courses
that must be completed before admission to the
professional schools. They can be successfully
incorporated into almost any major. It has been shown in
the case of medical schools that the choice of major does
not significantly affect the student’s probability of
admission. Students should give consideration to any
major that they find interesting and in which they feel they
can do well. Nearly all students accepted to medical,
dental, and veterinary schools have completed a bachelor’s
degree.
The achievement of outstanding academic credentials
should not be accomplished at the cost of totally sacrificing
extracurricular activities. Most professional programs
prefer students who have participated in nonacademic
activities and actively pursued a range of interests.
In addition to the core of preparatory courses, virtually all
professional schools require some form of standardized test
prior to consideration of a student’s admission application.
These tests are usually taken in the spring before
application is made. Medical schools require the Medical
College Admission Test (MCAT), dental schools the
Dental Admission Test (DAT), and veterinary schools the
Graduate Record Examination (GRE) Aptitude Test.
Applications to professional schools are made a year
before expected matriculation, usually between June 15
and November 15. This means that the course work
included on the standardized entrance test must be
completed by the end of the junior year of college in order
to move straight from college to professional schools
without a “gap” year. Early application is strongly
recommended, as interviews and acceptances go first to the
earliest applicants.
The American Medical College Application Service
(AMCAS) is the agent for most medical schools, and the
American Association of Dental Schools Application
Service (AADSAS) is the agent for many dental schools.
The Veterinary Medical College Application Service
Academic Departments, Programs, and Courses
2016–17 UNCG Undergraduate Bulletin
609
(VMCAS) is the agent for most veterinary medical
schools. Application information is available from the
committee. Veterinary, medical, and dental schools not
subscribing to one of the application services must be
contacted individually.
Students interested in other post college health careers
such as Physician Assistant, Optometry, Podiatric
Medicine, Chiropractic Medicine, Genetic Counseling,
etc. should declare a Preprofessional second major, to be
assigned a member of the Health Careers Advisory
Committee for assistance in planning their programs of
study.

Admittance to law school is based primarily on a student’s
grade point average, score on the law school admission test
(LSAT), and other materials furnished in an application for
admission.
Like most universities, UNCG does not have a pre-law
major. Students who plan to attend law school may select
their major from any academically rigorous field.
However, since law schools seek to admit students who
can think, speak, and write at the highest levels of
competency, students (regardless of major) should take
courses that develop skills in critical, creative, and
reflective thinking as well as clear and cogent writing and
speaking. To obtain these skills, it is especially useful to
take courses in the areas of Philosophical, Religious, and
Ethical Principles (GPR) and Reasoning and Discourse
(GRD). Courses in these areas are offered by many
departments, including Anthropology, Communication
Studies, English, History, Philosophy, Political Science,
Religious Studies, and Sociology. In addition, Freshman
Seminars, Honors, and Residential College courses are
helpful. Students should also be sure to develop computer
skills.
Students interested in pre-law should consult one of the
pre-law advisors from the above list in addition to their
major advisors.

The Department of Psychology approaches its subject
matter as a scientific discipline with emphasis placed on
understanding behavior and cognition through
experimentation and observation.
We offer broad training in psychology that can prepare
students for the working world and graduate training in
most major branches of psychology. We offer specialized
training in the major areas of psychology, including
clinical psychology, cognitive psychology, social
psychology, personality psychology, developmental
psychology, biological psychology, and quantitative and
research skills.
The objectives of the curriculum are:
1. To provide an understanding of the use of scientific
methodology in psychological research at both
intermediate and advanced levels. This understanding
will include a familiarity with the design of
observational, survey, and experimental studies;
principles of inference from scientific data; the logic of
statistical testing; and the use of scientific literature.
2. To provide basic knowledge in primary areas of the
discipline through an array of required intermediate-
level core courses;
3. To develop depth of understanding in areas of the
discipline specific to students’ individual interests;
4. To ensure that students can write clearly and effectively
in an appropriate professional style.
In addition to the B.A. and B.S. programs for
undergraduates, the department has a Ph.D. program and a
terminal M.A. program for graduate students.
Students who wish to seek teacher licensure should see
School of Education Licensure Programs as well as below.
Such persons should contact the departmental Director of
Undergraduate Studies as early as possible.

The Psychology Major provides a background for entry
into a variety of professions other than psychology where
understanding the principles of behavior and cognition is
important. It also provides the necessary background for
individuals planning to do graduate work in either basic or
applied psychology.
The curriculum provides students with a structured,
sequenced exposure to six core areas in psychology. These
are: behavior analysis; biopsychology; clinical psychology;
cognitive psychology; development psychology; and,
social psychology. Majors must sample from at least four
domains at the intermediate (200) level, but can choose a
narrower or broader sampling of upper level courses. The
curriculum also affords hands-on experience with scientific
psychology via laboratory courses and field experiences.

play important roles either historically or in contemporary
cultures.

Judaism, Shinto, and Taoism. Historical studies include
courses about religions in African, Asian, Middle East,
European, and American (especially United States) history.
Cultural and theoretical studies include courses on
religious philosophies, ethics, and theologies; political,
social, and psychological accounts of religious life; the role
religion plays in politics, economics, social movements,

Religious Studies Major (RELS)—B.A.
Degree: Bachelor of Arts
Required: 122 semester hours, to include at least 36 hours
at or above the 300 course level
AOS Code: U219
The Religious Studies Major participates in a diversified
program in the humanities, studying religious history,
imaginative literature, systems of thought, and criticisms of
culture, politics, and society. Because religious studies
majors engage in multidisciplinary studies in the liberal
arts, they are well-qualified to enter any field that profits
from disciplines of exposition, analysis, appreciation,
criticism, and historical reflection. Upon graduation,
Religious Studies majors have gone into teaching,
medicine, nursing, law, business, ministry, journalism, and
communications.
Members of the Religious Studies Department are
available to advise students about career opportunities and
to refer them to further information that may be of help.

Teacher licensure in North Carolina and qualification for
licensure in most of the other states may be earned at four
UNCG professional schools and various departments
within the College of Arts and Sciences. Students may
select licensure programs in a variety of subject areas.
The School of Education offers programs in Elementary
Education, Middle Grades Education, Professions in
Deafness, and Special Education; and jointly directs, with
departments in the College of Arts and Sciences, programs
for teacher licensure in core academic subjects at the
secondary level.
The School of Health and Human Sciences, the School of
Music, Theatre, and Dance, and the College of Arts and
Sciences, in collaboration with the School of Education,
offer teacher education curricula.
Graduates of approved teacher education curricula are
eligible for initial licensure on the basis of UNCG’s
recommendation to the State Department of Public
Instruction. As requirements may vary among departments,
students should check with their major advisor for specific
information regarding their program.
Important information for all education students at UNCG
can be found in the Teacher Education Handbook.
Admission to Teacher Education
All students who wish to be recommended for teacher
licensure in any of the subject areas must be admitted to a
specific Teacher Education Program. Students should
apply for admission to Teacher Education at the end of
their sophomore year and be admitted no later than the first
semester of their junior year.
The following requirements must be met:
1. Grade point average of at least 2.50 (some departments
require a GPA higher than a 2.50 to be admitted to
teacher education). To determine if students meet this
standard, the grade point average (GPA) is calculated
using all relevant undergraduate course work.
2. Recommendation of the school or department where
major is to be taken
3. Achievement of minimum score requirements as set by
the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction on
the Professional Assessment for Beginning Teachers
(Praxis I, ACT, or SAT)
4. Completion of at least 12 s.h. at UNCG. The 12 s.h.
shall be waived for any transfer student who meets
ALL of the aforementioned requirements for admission
to Teacher Education. The grade point average for
transfer students will be the transferable GPA as
computed by the Office of Undergraduate Admissions.
5. Background check requested through UNCG’s
affiliated company as described in the Teacher
Education Handbook.
For additional requirements specific to a program, students
should check with their major school or department.
Students should contact the Office of Student Services
(located in the School of Education Building, 334-3410)
for:
1. Clarification of admission requirements.
2. Appeal of the application of a rule or regulation.
More information on this topic can be found in the Teacher
Education Handbook.
Admission to Student Teaching
During the junior year, students already admitted to the
Teacher Education Program must apply for admission to
Student Teaching.
Student Teaching admission includes:
1. Grade point average of at least 2.50 (some departments
require a GPA higher than a 2.50 for student teaching).
2. Approval of the school or department in which the
student is majoring.
3. Completion of additional requirements specific to the
major department or school teacher education program.
Application forms are available online from the School of
Education Licensure Programs Web site. Forms must be
submitted by November 1 for student teaching in the fall
of the following year, and by February 15 for student
teaching in the spring of the following year.
Student teaching assignments are usually made in schools
within commuting distance of UNCG. Teacher education
students are individually responsible for expenses incurred
during student teaching, including transportation.
Student teaching in some subject areas is offered only in
either the fall or the spring semester. Any student who
plans to student teach should check with his or her major
program about when student teaching will be offered in a
particular subject area.
More information on this topic can be found in the Teacher
Education Handbook.

teacher licensure in comprehensive secondary social
studies. Students seeking social studies licensure must take
a total of 18 semester hours in history and economics
beyond their major requirements from the departments of
anthropology, geography, political science, psychology,
and sociology. Because history majors need to achieve
breadth in social science content and methods, history
majors must complete an additional 15 hours of social
science electives. Courses must be selected from the
following approved list. This list is also available from the
School of Education Office of Student Services (School of
Education Building), the student’s major advisor, or the

General Information
Admission to the university does not constitute acceptance
to the department. Academic credit is not awarded for life
or work experience. Community social work agencies
cooperate with the Department of Social Work in
providing field work experiences for the students. The
number of students placed for field instruction is
determined by the availability of these resources. At times,
there may not be an approved site for student placement
and there may be delay in meeting that part of the
graduation requirements.
Students enrolled in the practice sequence are individually
responsible for their own transportation to and from
community agencies. Students are required to provide
proof of liability and malpractice insurance. Malpractice
insurance information is available in the departmental
office.
Students who fail to enter senior year field instruction

Work foundation courses (SWK 215, SWK 310, SWK
311, SWK 315, SWK 325, SWK 351) must reapply for
admission to the social work program. The Director of the

field instruction.
Students who enter field instruction and fail to successfully
complete it must reapply for admission to field instruction
within two years of completion of all Bachelor of Social
Work foundation courses (SWK 215, SWK 310, SWK

Mission Statement
The Department of Sociology supports the missions of the
College of Arts and Sciences and the university in three
areas: education, research and service. The Department
fosters a community of sociologists, mentors students of
sociology at the undergraduate and graduate levels, and
provides general education for students throughout the
university. Sociological knowledge helps students to
understand how social structures and processes shape
social life and how sociological analysis and empirical
research are used as tools of understanding. The
Department also encourages the research and professional
development of faculty, contributes knowledge to the
community of scholars and to the larger society, and
provides service to the discipline, college, university, and
extramural communities.
The undergraduate program in sociology is planned
primarily as a part of a liberal arts education. The objective
is to provide the student with an analytic and systematic
approach to the understanding of social relations. The
major provides a foundation for a variety of occupations
and for advanced study.
Graduate study leading to the Master of Arts degree with a
major in sociology also is available. For details, see the
Graduate School Bulletin.

very few American Sign Language courses offered during
Academic Departments, Programs, and Courses
674 2016–17 UNCG Undergraduate Bulletin
the summer session. Students should not rely on taking

requirements for graduation; therefore, students should
plan their course of study accordingly.
Due to the highly interactive visual nature of teaching
American Sign Language, departmental policy prohibits
overrides into full courses. There are no exceptions.
Registration errors, scheduling difficulty, pending
graduation dates, financial aid matters and previous
registration attempts are not exceptions to this rule. If you
are unable to obtain enrollment during the initial
registration period, be sure your name is on the waitlist.

For members of Strong College, the city of Greensboro
will be the classroom. They’ll take what they learn in their
classes out into the city to complete various kinds of
research projects. To help students complete these projects,
Strong College core courses will focus on sustainable
communities in a variety of contexts including cultural,
historical, political, and economic. For us, sustainability
does not just refer to the environment, but to all aspects of
human engagement with each other and with the world
around us.
Students in this closely knit community will take at least
two core courses focused on sustainable communities
during their four semesters in the program and will also
have the option of taking General Education courses open
only to Residential College students. In the fourth
semester, students will complete independent capstone
projects structured around the concept of sustainable
communities. During the two years of the program,
students will develop their leadership skills through
participation in Strong College committees and will live in
Guilford Residence Hall.

Undergraduate majors in this department are prepared to
receive the North Carolina Standard Professional I License
for teaching in public schools, grades K–6 and 6–9. The
majors in this department include Elementary (K–6) and
Middle Grades (6–9) Education.
Elementary and Middle Grades Education majors progress
through their professional studies in Inquiry Teams of
about 25 students under the guidance of a university
instructor, who serves as their field supervisor, academic
advisor, and weekly seminar leader. Students assigned to
an inquiry team take all Elementary or Middle Grades
methods courses together and do 10-hour per week
internships in schools. Three internships are required prior
to student teaching. New inquiry teams begin in the fall
semester of the junior year and continue for four
consecutive semesters.
Student Learning Goals
Student learning goals are consistent with standards set
forth by the Council for the Accreditation of Educator
Preparation (CAEP) programs at www.caepnet.org, the
Interstate New Teacher Assessment and Support
Consortium (INTASC) at www.ccsso.org, the National
Educational Technology Standards at www.iste.org, and
the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction at
www.ncpublicschools.org.
Admission to the Teacher Education Program
and to the Elementary or Middle Grades
Education Majors
Admission to the University does not guarantee admission
to Teacher Education with a major in the Department of
Teacher Education and Higher Education. The School of
Education’s Department of Teacher Education and Higher
Education reserves the right to refuse admission where
additional enrollments would threaten the academic quality
of classes or programs. The size of each junior class
coming into Elementary or Middle Grades Education is
determined by the availability of instructors for student
practicum and student teaching experiences. Therefore, it
may not be possible to assure space for each student who
meets the quantitative criteria for admission to the major as
specified above. Interviews and/or other qualitative criteria
will be implemented in such instances. Students must
apply for admission by July 1 to be admitted for the fall
semester. In addition to admission to teacher education
(see School of Education), a student who seeks admission
to the Elementary or Middle Grades Education major is
expected to achieve:
• A minimum grade point average (GPA) of 3.0;
• A grade of C or better in TED 250;
• Completion of all courses needed to fulfill the General
Education Requirements; and
• Satisfactory scores on the Praxis I.
Admission to Student Teaching
The department has specific grade point average
expectations and performance criteria to remain active in
the program. Please contact the department office for this
information.
Eligibility to enter student teaching requires maintaining a
grade point average of 3.0 or better after being admitted to
the major, and achieving a grade of C or better in each
professional course. After admission to the major, if a
student fails to maintain a grade point average of 3.0, the
student has one semester to improve his/her grade point
average. If a student receives a C- or lower in a
professional course, the student is eligible to retake the
course at its next offering.
Second Academic Concentration Requirement
• All students majoring in Elementary Education are
required to complete an approved second concentration
of at least 18 hours in a basic academic discipline or in
an approved interdisciplinary studies program, although
some departments (e.g., French and Spanish) have a

686 2016–17 UNCG Undergraduate Bulletin
24-hour requirement. Depending upon the academic
discipline selected, a maximum of six (6) hours in
either of the concentrations may be counted toward the
General Education requirements.
• All students majoring in Middle Grades Education
must complete 24, 25, or 27 hours in two of five middle
level content fields: Language Arts, Mathematics,

The School of Theatre offers a full range of liberal arts and
professional degree programs that prepare undergraduate
students for a variety of career opportunities in theatre. The
school offers the following undergraduate degree
programs:
B.A. in Drama
B.F.A. in Drama, with concentrations in
Acting
Design and Technical Production
Theatre Education (Teacher Licensure)
The degrees, which are accredited by the National
Association of Schools of Theatre, provide students with a
vital mix of course work that combines both theory and
practice and allows for the development of skills and
talents.
The school also offers two minors in Drama and Technical
Theatre. Each minor requires completion of 18 semester
hours of courses. The minors are broadly designed and
include a variety of course selections and should be of
interest to students with general interests in these areas
who are majoring in complementary fields such as Media
Studies, Communication Studies, English, Art, and Dance.
The school's rich and varied curriculum is matched by an
extensive co-curricular program that includes opportunities
to participate in productions at Triad Stage, UNCG
Theatre, North Carolina Theatre for Young People, and
Workshop Theatre. Participation in school-sponsored
plays and musicals is open to majors and non-majors alike.
The school encourages students to pursue internship
opportunities, particularly in the summer months. Students
are also encouraged to investigate study abroad programs
offered by the university.
The school utilizes office, classroom, laboratory, studio,
and performance space in the Taylor, Brown, Aycock,
McIver, and Curry buildings on campus. The school's
faculty is composed of talented artists and scholars with
excellent reputations as teachers. Students are encouraged
to collaborate with faculty on creative and research
projects during their course of study.
Admission to the school's degree programs is competitive.
The requirements stated below are minimum requirements,
and marginal compliance with them does not automatically
imply admission.
Admission to Closed Courses
Due to enrollment pressures and limitations on space in
certain classes, the school adheres to the following policy
governing enrollment in its courses:
1. Individual faculty are responsible for adding or
dropping students from their classes once enrollment
limits have been met.
2. Students may be dropped from closed courses even
though they may have successfully completed the
registration process for the following reasons:
a. Student is not a major or minor.
b. Student has not completed course prerequisites or
does not meet other enrollment restrictions as stated
in the Undergraduate Bulletin.
Post-Baccalaureate Unclassified Students
Post-Baccalaureate unclassified students are restricted
from taking any 500-level class without the permission of

Acting, U881

About the B.F.A. Drama (DRAM) Major
The B.F.A. Drama Major emphasizes that theatre is a
discipline involving three basic factors: talent, study, and
practice. Only students who show evidence of talent and
who work to develop it through classroom study combined
with practical application in the production program will
be continued in the major. Transfer students should note
that this program is concerned with the maturation of the
young artist. Thus enrollment for six semesters (three
years) is required even when study is begun in the junior
year. Students are formally reviewed for continuance in the
B.F.A. programs each year. Continuance depends on
academic and artistic achievement, and the student’s
overall professional development.
Admission to the B.F.A. in Drama Major
Students pursuing the B.F.A. in Drama select from three
concentrations:
• Acting
• Design & Technical Production
• Theatre Education (with teacher licensure)
Admission to Acting Concentration
Students interested in the B.F.A. Acting concentration are
initially admitted as B.A. Drama majors. At the end of fall
semester, students formally audition for admission to the
B.F.A. Drama: Acting Concentration program. Students
should consult their faculty advisors for detailed audition
requirements. Admission to the program is very
competitive.
Admission to Design & Technical Production
Concentration
Provisional admission is granted to the B.F.A. in Design &
Technical Production concentration during fall semester.
At the end of fall semester, students are interviewed for
admission to the programs. Students should consult their
faculty advisors for detailed interview requirements.
Admission to the program is very competitive.
Admission to Theatre Education Concentration
Provisional admission is granted to students in the Theater
Education concentration during the first three semesters.
After receiving passing scores on the Praxis I, and
achieving a 3.0 GPA, students apply for admission to
Teacher Education in the second semester of the
sophomore year. A faculty interview is required for
admission.
Academic Departments, Programs, and Courses
2016–17 UNCG Undergraduate Bulletin
701
Transfer students should note that the program is
concerned with the maturation and sequential training of
the young artist/educator. Thus, enrollment for six
semesters (three years) is required, even when students
begin study in their junior year. Students planning to
transfer to UNCG to pursue a B.F.A. in Theatre Education
are cautioned to take courses that meet General Education
Core (GEC) requirements instead of taking courses in the
major.
Continuance in the B.F.A. Drama Major
As part of developing appropriate professional
understanding, B.F.A. Acting students must complete one
production assignment each semester in the freshman year
and a total of six more assignments during their
sophomore, junior, and senior years. Four of the B.F.A.
Acting students’ production assignments must be in
technical-related activities.
B.F.A. Design & Technical Production students must
complete one production assignment during the second
semester in the freshman year and at least six more
assignments during the sophomore, junior, and senior
years.
B.F.A. in Theatre Education students must maintain a 3.0
minimum GPA, complete 70 hours of pre-approved field
experience in K–12 schools prior to student teaching, and
complete a minimum of two stage management
assignments in their program.
B.F.A. transfer students in Acting or Design & Technical
Production are required to complete one production
assignment each semester in the program*.
Internship Requirements
B.F.A. Acting and Design & Technical Production majors
are required to complete an internship**. Transfer students
should make arrangements to schedule the internship as
soon as possible. Internships must be approved prior to
completion of the internship duties.
All Theatre majors are expected to read and abide by

Mission Statement
The central focus of the Women's and Gender Studies
Program is to explain how gender is produced within social
institutions and how these institutions affect individual
lives and to analyze the mutual constitution of gender,
race, ethnicity, class, sexuality, nationality, and religion.
The Program addresses issues of neglect, omission, and
bias in curricula while honing critical thinking skills vital
to a liberal education. With the assistance of the
community-based Friends of Women’s and Gender
Studies, the program sponsors visiting scholars, lectures,
films, and conferences devoted to the advancement of
women’s and gender studies.

History of the University of
North Carolina
The following is reprinted from
http://www.northcarolina.edu/?q=about-our-system/220-
years-history.
In North Carolina, all the public educational institutions
that grant baccalaureate degrees are part of the University
of North Carolina. The multi-campus state university
encompasses 16 such institutions, as well as the NC School
of Science and Mathematics, the nation’s first public
residential high school for gifted students. Chartered by the
North Carolina General Assembly in 1789, the University
of North Carolina was the first public university in the
United States to open its doors and the only one to
graduate students in the eighteenth century. The first class
was admitted in Chapel Hill in 1795. For the next 136
years, the only campus of the University of North Carolina
was at Chapel Hill.
Additional institutions of higher education, diverse in
origin and purpose, began to win sponsorship from the
General Assembly beginning as early as 1877. Five were
historically black institutions, and another was founded to
educate American Indians. Some began as high schools.
Several were created to prepare teachers for the public
schools. Others had a technological emphasis. One is a
training school for performing artists.
The 1931 session of the General Assembly redefined the
University of North Carolina to include three state-
supported institutions: the campus at Chapel Hill (now the
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill), North
Carolina State College (now North Carolina State
University at Raleigh), and Woman’s College (now the
University of North Carolina at Greensboro). The new
multi-campus University operated with one board of
trustees and one president. By 1969, three additional
campuses had joined the University through legislative
action: the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, the
University of North Carolina at Asheville, and the
University of North Carolina at Wilmington.
In 1971 legislation was passed bringing into the University
of North Carolina the state’s ten remaining public senior
institutions, each of which had until then been legally
separate: Appalachian State University, East Carolina
University, Elizabeth City State University, Fayetteville
State University, North Carolina Agricultural and
Technical State University, North Carolina Central
University, the North Carolina School of the Arts (now the
University of North Carolina School of the Arts),
Pembroke State University (now the University of North
Carolina at Pembroke), Western Carolina University, and
Winston-Salem State University. In 1985 the NC School of
Science and Mathematics was declared an affiliated school
of the University; in July 2007 NCSSM by legislative
action became a constituent institution of the University of
North Carolina. All the schools and universities welcome
students of both sexes and all races.
The UNC Board of Governors is the policy-making body
legally charged with “the general determination, control,
supervision, management, and governance of all affairs of
the constituent institutions.” It elects the president, who
administers the University. The 32 voting members of the
Board of Governors are elected by the General Assembly
for four-year terms. Former board chairmen may continue
to serve for limited periods as non-voting members emeriti.
The president of the UNC Association of Student
Governments or that student’s designee is also a non-
voting member.
Each of the UNC campuses is headed by a chancellor who
is chosen by the Board of Governors on the president’s
nomination and is responsible to the president. Each
university has a board of trustees consisting of eight
members elected by the Board of Governors, four
appointed by the governor, and the president of the student
body, who serves ex officio. (The UNC School of the Arts
has two additional ex officio members; and the NC School
of Science and Mathematics has a 27-member board as
required by law.) Each board of trustees holds extensive
powers over academic and other operations of its campus
on delegation from the Board of Governors.
In addition to its teaching role, the University of North
Carolina has a long-standing commitment to public
service. The UNC Center for Public Television, the UNC
Health Care System, the cooperative extension and
research services, nine area health education centers, and
myriad other University programs and facilities reap social
and economic benefits for the state and its people.

History of the University of
North Carolina at Greensboro
The following is reprinted from
http://www.uncg.edu/inside-uncg/inside-history.htm.
The University of North Carolina at Greensboro was
established by legislative enactment on February 18, 1891.
The city of Greensboro, situated near the geographical
center of the state, was selected for the location of the new
institution after its citizens approved $30,000 in bonds for
its first buildings. R.S. Pullen and R.T. Gray gave the
original 10-acre site. The institution opened on October 5,
1892 with a student body of 198 and a faculty of 15—and
the final enrollment reached 223 at the end of the first year.
University History, Officers, and Faculty
2016–17 UNCG Undergraduate Bulletin
731
Classes were organized in three departments: commercial,
domestic science, and pedagogy.
The institution came into being as a direct result of a
crusade by Dr. Charles Duncan McIver on behalf of the
education of women. Other pioneers in public school
education—notably, Edwin A. Alderman, James Y. Joyner,
and M.C.S. Noble—assisted McIver, but to him, more than
to any other individual, the university owes its foundation.
During the past century the university's mission has
evolved, as suggested with its sequence of names. It was
known first as the State Normal and Industrial School, and
after 1897 as the State Normal and Industrial College until
1919. During the period 1919-1931, it was known as the
North Carolina College for Women, and became the
Woman's College of the University of North Carolina from
1932 to 1963. It is warmly remembered as “the WC” by its
many alumnae of the period.
From 1932 to 1963 the university was one of the three
branches of the Consolidated University of North Carolina.
The other campuses included the University of North
Carolina at Chapel Hill and the North Carolina State
College of Agriculture and Engineering at Raleigh (now
N.C. State University). In 1962, the board of trustees
recommended that the Greensboro campus become
coeducational at all levels of instruction. Subsequently, by
act of the General Assembly in the spring of 1963, the
name of the institution was changed to the University of
North Carolina at Greensboro. The first African American
students were admitted in 1956 and men were first
admitted as part of the general student body in 1964.
In December of 1934, during the years of the Consolidated
University, the Woman's College Section of the Alpha of
North Carolina Chapter of Phi Beta Kappa was installed.
(Alpha Chapter is the one at Chapel Hill.) On February 17,
1956, Epsilon Chapter of North Carolina was installed at
this campus. In 2006, UNCG's chapter was voted the best
in the nation on a public university campus by the national
Phi Beta Kappa organization.
In October of 1971, the North Carolina General Assembly
adopted legislation which combined all 16 of the state-
supported institutions of higher education into a single
University of North Carolina. The UNC system is
governed by a board of governors and administered by a
president. Each constituent institution has a separate board
of trustees and is administered by a chancellor.
UNCG's chancellor is Dr. Franklin D. Gilliam Jr.,
who took office on May 22, 2015. He came to UNCG from
the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), where
he was dean of the UCLA Luskin School of Public Affairs.
In addition to founding president Charles Duncan McIver,
UNCG's other chief executive officers have been:
Dr. Julius I. Foust (1906–1934)
Dr. Walter Clinton Jackson (1934–1950)
Dr. Edward Kidder Graham (1950–1956)
Dr. W.W. Pierson Jr. (1956–1957, 1960–61, interim)
Dr. Gordon W. Blackwell (1957–1960)
Dr. Otis Singletary (1961–64, 1966)
Dr. James S. Ferguson (1964–1979, including interim
term)
Dr. William E. Moran (1979–1994)
Dr. Debra W. Stewart (fall semester 1994, interim)
Dr. Patricia A. Sullivan (1995–2008)
Dr. Linda P. Brady (2008–2015)
Dr. Dana L. Dunn (spring and summer semesters
2015, acting)
UNCG Today
With more than 19,400 students and 2,500 faculty and
staff, UNCG is the largest state university in the Piedmont
Triad and has an annual economic impact of more than $1
billion. The campus has grown to include 30 residence
halls and 30 academic buildings on 210 acres.
UNCG takes pride in being a learner-centered public
research university. The College of Arts & Sciences and
seven professional schools offer 79 undergraduate majors,
65 master's programs, and 30 doctoral programs.
The university holds two classifications from the Carnegie
Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, as a
“research university with high research activity” and for
“community engagement” in curriculum, outreach and
partnerships. More than $35 million annually in grants and
contracts for research and creative activity are awarded to
faculty members annually. Among the most prominent of
UNCG's research initiatives are the Gateway University
Research Park and the Joint School of Nanoscience and
Nanoengineering, both partnerships with North Carolina
Agricultural and Technical State University.
Globalization of the curriculum has expanded
opportunities for international education, through new
programs like the UNC Exchange Program and the Lloyd
International Honors College. In addition, innovative
signature programs such as Building Entrepreneurial
Learning for Life (BELL), Communication Across the
Curriculum, Undergraduate Research, and Freshman
Seminars enhance the student experience.
As a cultural leader, UNCG offers concerts, lectures, dance
and theatre performances, exhibitions in the internationally
known Weatherspoon Art Museum, and readings by
nationally known authors. In athletics, Spartan teams
compete in nine women's and nine men's sports in Division
I of the National Collegiate Athletic Association. With
ethnic minority students making up 26 percent of the
University History, Officers, and Faculty
732 2016–17 UNCG Undergraduate Bulletin
student body, UNCG is the most diverse of the UNC
system's historically white campuses.
Although much has changed, some things remain the same.
The university motto—service—continues to be a guiding
principle put into practice through all aspects of university
life.

academic careers. AOS codes identify majors, concentrations, second majors, minors, and teacher licensure areas at the
university level.

UNCG Residency Policy
Residence Status for Tuition Purposes
The tuition charge for persons who qualify as North
Carolina residents for tuition purposes is substantially
less than that for nonresidents. An interpretation of
the North Carolina law (General Statute §116–143.1)
governing residence classification for tuition
purposes follows. A more complete explanation of
the statute and the procedures under the statute is
contained in A Manual to Assist the Public Higher
Education Institutions of North Carolina in the
Matter of Student Residence Classification for
Tuition Purposes. The Manual is the controlling
administrative statement of policy on this subject.
Copies of the Manual are available for inspection in
Jackson Library and online at
www.northcarolina.edu/?q=legal-affairs/state-
residence.
The basis for determining the appropriate tuition
charge rests upon whether a student is a resident or a
nonresident for tuition purposes. Each student must
make a statement as to the length of his or her
residence in North Carolina, with assessment by the
institution of that statement to be conditioned by the
following:
Residence
To qualify as a resident for tuition purposes,
a person must become a legal resident and
remain a legal resident for at least twelve
months (365 days) immediately prior to
classification (duration). Thus, there is a
distinction between legal residence and
residence for tuition purposes. Furthermore,
twelve months legal residence means more
than simple abode in North Carolina. In
particular it means maintaining a domicile
(permanent home of indefinite duration) as
opposed to “maintaining a mere temporary
residence or abode incident to enrollment in
an institution of higher education” (intent).
The burden of establishing facts which
justify classification of a student as a
resident entitled to in-state tuition rates is on
the applicant for such classification, who
must show his or her entitlement by the
preponderance (the greater part) of the
residentiary information.
Initiative
Being classified a resident for tuition
purposes is contingent on the student’s
seeking such status and providing all
information that the institution may require
in making the determination.
Parents’ Domicile
If an individual, irrespective of age, has
living parent(s) or court-appointed guardian
of the person, the domicile of such parent(s)
or guardian is, prima facie, the domicile of
the individual; but this prima facie evidence
of the individual’s domicile may or may not
be sustained by other information. Further,
nondomiciliary status of parents is not
deemed prima facie evidence of the
applicant child’s status if the applicant has
lived (though not necessarily legally resided)
in North Carolina for the five years
preceding enrollment or re-registration.
Effect of Marriage
Marriage alone does not prevent a person
from becoming or continuing to be a
resident for tuition purposes, nor does
marriage in any circumstance ensure that a
person will become or continue to be a
resident for tuition purposes. Marriage and
the legal residence of one’s spouse are,
however, relevant information in
determining residentiary intent.
Furthermore, if both a husband and wife are
legal residents of North Carolina and if one
of them has been a legal resident longer than
the other, then the longer duration may be
claimed by either spouse in meeting the
twelve-month requirement for in-state
tuition status.
Military Personnel
A North Carolinian who serves outside the
State in the armed forces does not lose North
Carolina domicile simply by reason of such
service. North Carolina residents who serve
outside the state may prove retention or
establishment of residence by reference, as
in other cases, to residentiary acts
accompanied by residentiary intent.
In addition, a separate North Carolina statute
(G.S. 116-143.3) affords tuition rate benefits
to certain military personnel and their
dependents, even though not qualifying for
Appendix
Appendix
2016–17 UNCG Undergraduate Bulletin
805
the in-state tuition rate by reason of twelve
months legal residence in North Carolina.
Members of the armed services while
stationed on active duty and concurrently
living in North Carolina, may be charged the
in-state tuition rate. A dependent relative of
a service member stationed in North
Carolina is eligible to be charged the in-state
tuition rate while the dependent relative is
living in North Carolina with the service
member and if the dependent relative has
met any requirement of the Selective Service
System applicable to the dependent relative.
Qualifying active duty military members and
the dependent relatives thereof are extended
a “military grace period” if the military
member is reassigned outside of North
Carolina or retires while the member or
dependent is enrolled in an institution of
higher education. During this grace period,
the military member or dependent relative
thereof is eligible for the in-state tuition rate
as long as he or she is continuously enrolled
in the degree or other program in which he
or she was enrolled at the time of the
reassignment or retirement. Qualifying
members and dependents also remain
eligible to pay the in-state rate if the active
duty member receives Honorable Discharge
so long as the member or dependent
establishes legal residence in North Carolina
within thirty (30) days and is continuously
enrolled in the degree program in which he
or she was enrolled at the time of the
Honorable Discharge. Additionally, any
nonresident North Carolina Guard Members
in reserve or active status are eligible for the
in-state rate and all applicable mandatory
fees.
Also, as of June 23, 2015, under North
Carolina statue (G.S. 116-143.3A), certain
veterans and other individuals (covered
individuals) entitled to federal education
benefits under 38 U.S.C. Chapter 30 or 38
U.S.C. Chapter 33 may be eligible to be
charged the in-state tuition rate and
applicable mandatory fees for enrollment
without satisfying the 12-month residency
requirement under G.S. 116-143.1.
According to G.S. 116-143.3A, covered
individuals are as follows:
1. A veteran using Chapter 33 or 30 GI Bill
benefits, living in the state in which he or
she is pursuing a course of education at an
IHL (Institution of Higher Learning),
regardless of his/her formal state of
residence, and who enrolls in an IHL within
three years of discharge from a period of
active duty service of 90 days or more.
2. Anyone using transferred GI Bill benefits,
living in the state in which he or she is
pursuing a course of education at an IHL
(regardless of his/her formal state of
residence), and who enrolls in an IHL within
three years of the transferor’s discharge from
a period of active duty service of 90 days or
more.
3. Anyone using benefits under the Marine
Gunnery Sergeant John David Fry
Scholarship (Fry Scholarship) to pursue a
course of education at an IHL, who lives in
the state in which the IHL is located
(regardless of his/her formal state of
residence) and who enrolls in an IHL within
three years of the service member’s death in
the line of duty following a period of active
duty service of 90 days or more.
These tuition benefits may be enjoyed only
if the applicable requirements for admission
have been met; these benefits alone do not
provide the basis for receiving those
derivative benefits under the provisions of
the residence classification statute reviewed
elsewhere in this summary. Application for
this benefit must be made prior to the
beginning of the first enrolled term for
which the benefit is sought.
Grace Period
If a person (1) has been a bona fide legal
resident of the required duration, (2) has
consequently been classified a resident for
tuition purposes, and (3) has subsequently
lost North Carolina legal residence while
enrolled at a public institution of higher
education, that person may continue to enjoy
the in-state tuition rate for a grace period of
twelve months measured from the date on
which North Carolina legal residence was
lost., provided that loss of in-state residence
status is not a result of institutional error. If
the twelve months ends during an academic
term for which the person is enrolled at a
State institution of higher education, the
grace period extends, in addition, to the end
of that term. The fact of marriage to one who
continues domiciled outside North Carolina
does not by itself cause loss of legal
residence marking the beginning of the grace
period.
Appendix
806 2016–17 UNCG Undergraduate Bulletin
Minors
Minors (persons under 18 years of age)
usually have the domicile of their parents,
but certain special cases are recognized by
the residence classification statute in
determining residence for tuition purposes.
1. If a minor’s parents live apart, the minor’s
domicile is deemed to be North Carolina for
the time period(s) that either parent, as a
North Carolina legal resident, may claim and
does claim the minor as a tax dependent,
even if other law or judicial act assigns the
minor’s domicile outside North Carolina. A
minor thus deemed to be a legal resident will
not, upon achieving majority before
enrolling at an institution of higher
education, lose North Carolina legal
residence if that person (1) upon becoming a
legal adult “acts, to the extent that the
person’s degree of actual emancipation
permits, in a manner consistent with bona
fide legal residence in North Carolina” and
(2) “begins enrollment at an institution of
higher education not later than the fall
academic term following completion of
education prerequisite to admission at such
institution.”
2. If a minor has lived for five or more
consecutive years with relatives (other than
parents) who are domiciled in North
Carolina and if the relatives have functioned
during this time as if they were personal
guardians, the minor will be deemed a
resident for tuition purposes for an enrolled
term commencing immediately after at least
five years in which these circumstances have
existed. If under this consideration a minor
is deemed to be a resident for tuition
purposes immediately prior to his or her
eighteenth birthday, that person on achieving
majority will be deemed a legal resident of
North Carolina of at least twelve months
duration. This provision acts to confer in-
state tuition status even in the face of other
provisions of law to the contrary; however, a
person deemed a resident of twelve months
duration pursuant to this provision continues
to be a legal resident of the State only so
long as he or she does not abandon North
Carolina domicile.
Lost but Regained Domicile
If a student ceases enrollment at or graduates
from an institution of higher education while
classified a resident for tuition purposes and
then both abandons and reacquires North
Carolina domicile within a twelve-month
period, that person, if he or she continues to
maintain the reacquired domicile into re-
enrollment at an institution of higher
education, may re-enroll at the in-state
tuition rate without having to meet the usual
twelve-month durational requirement.
However, any one person may receive the
benefit of the provision only once.
Change of Status
A student admitted to initial enrollment in an
institution (or permitted to re-enroll
following an absence from the institutional
program which involved a formal
withdrawal from enrollment) must be
classified by the admitting institution either
as a resident or as a nonresident for tuition
purposes prior to actual enrollment. A
residence status classification once assigned
(and finalized pursuant to any appeal
properly taken) may be changed thereafter
(with corresponding change in billing rates)
only at intervals corresponding with the
established primary divisions of the
academic year.
Transfer Students
When a student transfers from one North
Carolina public institution of higher
education to another, he or she is treated as a
new student by the institution to which he or
she is transferring and must be assigned an
initial residence status classification for
tuition purposes.
Non-U.S. Citizens
Non-U.S. citizens lawfully admitted into the
United States for permanent residence are
subject to the same considerations as citizens
in the determination of residentiary status for
tuition purposes. Certain classes of both
resident and nonresident aliens are subject to
these same considerations, but certain
classes are not.
Tuition Waivers
A separate North Carolina statute (G.S.
115B) provides tuition waivers for the
following persons: 1) legal North Carolina
residents who are at least age 65; 2) certain
family members of deceased or totally and
permanently disabled emergency workers of
North Carolina; and 3) certain persons who
are or were wards of the State of North
Carolina. More complete information on this
statute may be obtained from the Cashier’s
Office.

Tuition Benefit for UNC Employees
A person who is a full-time employee of the
University of North Carolina, or is the
spouse or dependent child of a full-time
employee of the University of North
Carolina, and who is a legal resident of
North Carolina, qualifies as a resident for
tuition purposes without having maintained
that legal residence for at least 12 months,
immediately prior to his or her
classifications as a resident for tuition
purposes.
Full Scholarship Students
Any undergraduate student who receives full
scholarship to UNCG from entities
recognized by the institution under G.S. 116-
143.6 may be considered residents of North
Carolina for all purposes by UNCG.
“Full Scholarship” is defined as funding at
least equivalent to the sum of: room (on-
campus, double room), board (meal plan
option that offers complete meal coverage),
tuition (in-state, estimated in March prior to
the fall semester), and fees (required class
related fees).
The full scholarship rate will be determined
by the Director of Financial Aid each March
prior to the effective academic year. Please
contact the Financial Aid Office for
additional information.
Classification Process at UNCG
Initial Classification
Every applicant for admission is required to make a
statement as to the length of his or her legal residence
in North Carolina. Every applicant is classified as a
resident or nonresident for tuition purposes prior to
actual matriculation, the admitting office making the
initial classification. Those not claiming to be
residents for tuition purposes are, of course, classified
as out-of-state students (nonresidents) for tuition
purposes. If insufficient information supports an
applicant’s claim to be a resident for tuition purposes,
the admitting office will initially classify that
applicant as a nonresident.
Reclassification Review
A residency classification once assigned (and
confirmed pursuant to any appeal properly taken)
may be changed thereafter (with corresponding
change in billing rates) only at intervals
corresponding with the established primary divisions
of the academic year.
Students may request residency reclassification by
submitting a Residency Reclassification Application
Form to the University Registrar’s office by midnight
on the fifth day of classes for the term for which they
wish to be considered.
It is the responsibility of the student to pay tuition by
the payment deadline at the rate charged and billed
while a review or appeal is pending. In effect, the
student who is classified as a nonresident at the time
of registration pays the nonresident rate. Conversely,
if a student is classified as a resident at the time of
billing, he or she pays the resident rate. Any
necessary adjustments in the rate paid will be made at
the conclusion of the review or appeal.
Students or prospective students who believe that
they are entitled to be classified as residents for
tuition purposes should be aware that the process of
requests and appeals can take a considerable amount
of time and that applications for classification should
not be delayed until registration. Students who wish
to receive a timely review of their residence status
should submit their completed Residency
Reclassification Application Form approximately 30–
45 days in advance of the term for which they are
seeking a review of their residence status.
Applications are reviewed in the order in which they
are received; failure to submit an application in a
timely manner may delay the review process.
Appeals
The reclassification determination may be appealed
to the Campus Residence Appeals Committee, and
decisions of the Campus Residence Appeals
Committee may be appealed to the State Residence
Committee. A written statement of the appeals
procedure is provided to every applicant or student
receiving an out of state reclassification decision.
It is the responsibility of the student to pay tuition by
the payment deadline at the rate charged and billed
while an appeal is pending. In effect, the student who
is classified as a nonresident at the time of
registration pays the nonresident rate. Conversely, if
a student is classified as a resident at the time of
billing, he or she pays the resident rate. Any
necessary adjustments in the rate paid will be made at
the conclusion of the review or appeal.
Students or prospective students who believe that
