Declaring a Major


Incoming first-time freshmen enter SCAD as undeclared majors. First-year students have the opportunity to declare a major upon successful completion of FSYR 101 First- year Experience, but may remain undeclared through their sophomore year. While undeclared, students are required to consult with their staff adviser prior to registration each quarter. Students are encouraged to declare a major by the end of the sophomore year. Incoming transfer students enter SCAD as declared majors


based on their application for admission. Transfer credit is reviewed and awarded based upon the declared major. All declared students are assigned a faculty adviser who teaches in the major, as well as a staff adviser. Undergraduate students who wish to declare or change a


major must consult with a staff adviser. Students may change their major, add a second major, or enroll in a minor at any time during their studies. Graduate students who wish to change their program of study should consult with a graduate staff adviser. Students may declare a major or minor only through a SCAD location where that program is offered.


Quarter System


Undergraduate and graduate courses are taught on the quarter system, with most courses carrying five hours of college credit. A typical five-hour class meets for two and one-half hours twice weekly for a total of five hours weekly for 10 weeks. Students should expect to spend at least as much time working on assignments outside of class as they do in class. Students enrolled in SCAD eLearning courses should expect to devote as much time to managing course content and completing assignments as they do participating in the digital classroom. The academic year includes four quarters and students may enroll each quarter, including the summer quarter; however, course offerings may be limited in the summer.


Grading System


Grades are assigned according to the following system of letter and quality points evaluation:


Quality Points Letter Grade

Full-time Status


The office of the registrar is the official designated authority for determining full-time status for all students requesting enrollment verifications for insurance or any type of financial aid or loans. A full-time undergraduate student is defined as one who is registered for at least 15 quarter hours of credit per quarter. Undergraduate students may register for a maximum of 20 quarter hours per quarter, provided they have maintained a grade point average of at least 3.0 during the previous quarter. A full-time graduate student is defined as one who is registered for at least 10 quarter hours of credit per quarter. Graduate students may register for more than 15 quarter hours only with the permission of the chair and by contacting their graduate staff adviser. Less than full-time enrollment status may affect financial


aid such as loans and grants, scholarships, university housing, health insurance, and visas (if applicable).


Attendance and Personal Conduct


Only students who are properly registered for a class may attend and participate in that class. Students are not permitted to participate in classes in which they are not registered. Enrollment is determined by the official class roster. Students are responsible for ensuring that they are enrolled for each class in which they are participating. Students are expected to attend and participate in all


scheduled classes and examination periods. Absences in excess of four class periods per quarter, or 20 percent of the course, result in the student receiving a failing grade for the course. Tardiness, early departure or other time away from class in excess of 15 minutes per class session is considered absence for that class session. Classes missed due to late registration are included in the overall absences permitted for the class. SCAD eLearning students are expected to log in each week


and complete coursework according to a schedule that stipulates due dates and asynchronous online sessions for students and professors to meet, assess and critique work, or expand upon discussion board postings. Students in SCAD eLearning courses are expected to participate in all assignments, examinations and field trips or other special activities as directed by the professor. Attendance is determined by active log-in time and participation in required activities. Absences in excess of 20 percent result in the student receiving a failing grade for the course. For hybrid courses, which meet both online and in the


classroom, combined absences, including online attendance and classroom attendance, in excess of 20 percent result in the student receiving a failing grade for the course. The student’s appearance and conduct should be appropriate


N Audit


Graduate students receive no credit for a grade of D or below in any course, and receive no credit for required preliminary courses for a grade of C or below.


and should contribute to the academic and professional atmosphere of SCAD. The university reserves the right at its sole discretion to withdraw the privilege of enrollment from any student whose conduct is detrimental to the academic environment or to the well-being of other students, faculty or staff members, or to the university facilities.


Dropping and Adding Courses


The first five business days of each quarter are designated the drop/add period when students may change their class
