Graduation Under a Particular Catalog
The student is permitted to meet the graduation
requirements in the ACU catalog for the year when the
student first enrolled in an accredited college, or the catalog
for any subsequent year, provided that not more than six
years have elapsed between the student's first enrollment
and graduation. However, the student must satisfy all
graduation requirements set forth in the catalog under
which he or she graduates.
Important Considerations for Planning
Class Schedules
The following points are made with your best interest in
mind. Past experience suggests that failure to comply with
these guidelines often results in academic and/or scheduling
problems for the student.
1. Become familiar with the catalog, especially those
sections that relate to your major, before you seek
counsel from your adviser.
2. Seek counsel from your department chairman
and/or adviser.
3. Follow the requirements for your major as outlined
in the department section of the catalog.
4. Freshmen must enroll in classes in Bible, English, PE,
and University Seminar.
5. General Education requirements (University and
Degree Core requirements), except advanced courses,
should be completed by the end of your sophomore
year.
6. Some courses are offered less than once a year.
Failure to schedule these courses at the proper time
may delay your graduation.
7. Before you enroll in a class, be sure that you have
satisfied all prerequisites for the course. If you have
not, you will be required to withdraw from the
course. The experience will prove to be both
frustrating and time consuming.
8. Education majors should apply for admission to the
Teacher Education Program during the second
semester of their sophomore year, or near the end of
their first semester on campus if they are transfer
students. Applicants must have a minimum GPA of
2.5 for admission into this program.
9. Business, Social Work, Nursing, and Home
Economics Education majors must also apply
for admission to upper division programs.

Using this Catalog
In the following sections, the academic program is
described in detail arranged by department or topic. The
departmental descriptions should be used in conjunction
with the Degree Plan Notebook (available in Deans'
offices, the Registrar's Office, and the Library) which
contains a visual depiction of each approved degree offered
at ACU. Students are responsible for their own degree
plans and for the completion of all requirements for the
degrees which they seek.
Course Numbering
ACU uses a three-digit course numbering system. Courses
numbered below 300 are lower-division courses (primarily
for freshmen and sophomores); courses numbered from
300 to 499 are upper-division, or advanced, courses
(primarily for juniors and seniors). Courses numbered
000-099 do not count toward graduation or GPA.
Course Descriptions
The numbers following course titles indicate (1) hours of
lecture per week, (2) hours of laboratory per week, and (3)
semester credit hours. An asterisk (*) following these three
figures indicates that the course carries variable or
alternative credit and that the figures represent the
maximum variation. In general, credit hours for these
courses may range from one to the number indicated.
The frequency of offering follows the meeting and credit
hour information. Courses offered every year are
designated by semester(s) only. Courses offered every
other year are designated by semester and odd/even year.
Courses offered every third semester or other configuration
are designated by specific semester and year if they are
scheduled for 1994-95. Special Topics courses (440) and
Guided Studies courses (400) are occasionally offered as
special needs dictate and/or available faculty allow. Note:
since most courses are not offered every semester, students
should be aware that their failure to take a required course
when it is offered may delay their graduation.
Any course may be offered on demand should sufficient
interest be demonstrated and should a qualified instructor
be available. "Demand" courses with a defined content
will be offered as regularly as practical for the host
department.
At the end of the course description, the following
information will be given when applicable: laboratory
information, crosslisted courses ("same as"), prerequisites,
and fees.
