2006-2007AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT OF 1990 (ADA)MISSION STATEMENTThe University of Guam (UOG) is committed to achieving equal opportunity and full participation of persons with disabilitiesby providing for non-discriminatory access to its services and facilities through the ADA Office. The Mission of the ADAOffice is to ensure non-discriminatory access to all benefits, privileges, opportunities and obligations to students withdisabilities and to ensure a process for full compliance by UOG with the ADA of 1990, as amended, and Section 504 of theRehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, taking into account the economic climate and multi-cultural diversity of theinstitution.The ADA Office provides reasonable accommodation for students in accordance with the UOG Policy and Procedure forstudents and applicants with a disability. The ADA Office can be contacted at telephone number (671) 735-2244 orTelephone Device for the Deaf (TDD) number (671) 735-2243. The student must directly request for all ADA services four(4) to eight (8) weeks in advance. The ADA policy can be found on our website at www.uog.edu/eeo.EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY (EEO) OFFICEMISSION STATEMENTThe President of the University of Guam (UOG) is committed to ensuring a work environment free of discrimination andharassment on the basis of any status protected by law, to include: race, sexual orientation, religion, religious creed, age,disability, citizenship status, and national origin,. Administrators, directors, managers and supervisors must inform employeesof the policies prohibiting discrimination and harassment, emphasize the policy of zero tolerance, and deal promptly with anyproblem situations. Each of us is expected to maintain high standards of honesty, integrity and conduct. Discrimination andharassment violate these standards.Sexual Harassment is a specific form of prohibited harassment and complaints involve sensitive and complex issues. A promptand effective inquiry into allegations is critical; not only to avoid liability and prevent future harassing behavior, but also to laythe groundwork for successful resolution. A healthy equal opportunity environment does not just happen. It takescommitment and active involvement – by everyone. Ultimately it is not laws, regulations, or policies that create a quality equalopportunity environment, it is people respecting and encouraging other people.TITLE IX COMPLIANCE STATEMENTThe University of Guam does not discriminate on the basis of sex in the admission to or employment in its education programsor activities. Inquiries concerning the application of Title IX and its implementing regulations may be referred to theUniversity’s Title IX Coordinator, located at the EEO/ADA Office, Dorm II, Iya Hami Hall, Room 104, Tel. No. 735-2244,TTY: 735-2243; or to the Office of Civil Rights (OCR).NOTE TO THE READERThe University reserves the right to withdraw or modify courses of instruction at any time. Review of academic, financial, andother considerations leads to changes in the policies, rules, and regulations applicable to students, and the faculty of theUniversity therefore reserves the right to make changes at any time. These changes may affect such matters as tuition and allother fees, degrees and programs offered (including the modification or possible elimination of degrees and programs), degreeand other academic requirements, academic policies, rules pertaining to student conduct and discipline, fields or areas ofconcentration, and other rules and regulations applicable to students.While every effort has been made to ensure that this catalog is accurate and up-to-date, it may include typographical of othererrors.

The RFT-MARC Guam and MicronesiaCollections are located in the new RFT-MARC/ComputerCenter Building. The Reference Collection includesbooks, manuscripts, periodicals and serials, governmentdocuments, personal papers and archives, reprints, and16The University’s Marine Laboratory is a research,teaching and service facility located on the shore of PagoBay below the main campus. The staff consists of fulltimeresearch biologists assisted by three marinetechnicians, two Administrative Assistants, and alaboratory manager.The research focus of the Marine Laboratory istropical coral reef studies. Basic research is conducted byindividual staff members in their specialty areas:ichthyology and fisheries biology, evolutionary ecology,molecular genetics, photo biology, invertebrate zoology,coral physiology and larval ecology, chemical ecology ofreef organisms and natural products chemistry, community

ecology, and species interaction. Applied research isconducted in surveys; studies relating to coastal zonemanagement on research on coral bleaching introducedspecies, and pollution research. Marine Laboratorystudents have donated their time and given lectures andtours for many diverse interest groups and thousands ofschool children.Research projects are concentrated on Guam but oftenreach out into the Commonwealth of the Northern MarianaIslands, the Republic of Palau, the Federated States ofMicronesia, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, andother regions of the Indo-Pacific.The Laboratory consists of three buildings. Researchspace, office space, and a computer lab are located in thetwo-story research wing. This wing features a flowingseawater system with a direct input of ocean water. Thesouthern portion of the new Water and EnvironmentalResearch Institute (WERI) Building provides space forfour additional offices, an expanded reference collectionfacility which also includes a mollusk collection room, anda large biochemical laboratory. The technical wingprovides workshop facilities and maintenance and storagespace for routine research instrumentation, boats anddiving gear. A broad range of laboratory and fieldequipment is available.INSTITUTE FOR MICRONESIANHEALTH & AGING STUDIESThis institute provides the framework for facultyinitiatedhealth and aging research. Faculty members writeand submit grant proposals to the various departments ofthe National Institutes on Health (NIH, NIA, NCI, etc.),the National Science Foundation (NSF), and privatecharitable foundations. The quest for federal and otherfunding is important for several reasons. The increase ofthe senior population on Guam between 1980 and the year2000 is 141 percent, and similar increases can be measuredthroughout Micronesia. The long-held belief that theseniors of Guam and the other islands are taken care of inall their needs by the extended family is no longer true.Westernization has shifted the disease patterns frominfectious diseases commonly found in the less developedcountries to the chronic diseases experienced by theindustrialized nations. Certain endemic conditions of theindigenous population are still puzzling local, national, andinternational researchers; finding the etiology of thesediseases might hold the answer to neurological and otherchronic diseases worldwide.One of the projects administered by the Institute is theUOG/UCSD Consortium Lytico-Bodig Project funded bythe National Institute on Aging. This project isinvestigating the causes and potential treatments of Lytico-Bodig (ALS and Parkinson’s Dementia Complex). Theresearch commenced at UOG on April 1, 1997, under the2006-200717leadership of Dr. Ulla-Craig, with the support of Dr. OliviaCruz, Dr. Kwang-Ming Chen and Dr. Jose Torres andother staff members. The first Principal Investigator, thelate Dr. W.C. Wiederholt of the University of California,San Diego, had established a superb team of 35 worldrenowninvestigators to conduct the study at universities inGuam, Seattle, San Diego, New York, Philadelphia andCharlottesville, Virginia. The present PrincipalInvestigator is Douglas Galasko, M.D. The research teamof outstanding scientists and physicians who visit Guam ona regular basis provides a unique opportunity for studentsat all levels to participate in research and potentiallyfurther their careers in many health-related fields. TheInstitute is located in the Health Science Building. Furtherinquiries or assistance can be obtained by calling (671)735-2677.MICRONESIAN LANGUAGE INSTITUTE(MLI)The Micronesian Language Institute (MLI) wasestablished at UOG in May, 1990. The purpose of MLI isto conduct research, service, and teaching activities thatenlarge understanding of the indigenous languages ofMicronesia, and to promote appreciation, documentation,instruction, and materials development of Micronesianlanguage resources.MLI’s work is guided by eight-person RegionalAdvisory Council, consisting of members representing theTerritory of Guam, the Republic of the Marshall Islands,the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM - Kosrae,Pohnpei, Chuuk and Yap), the Republic of Palau, and theCommonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI).Each Council member is an indigenous Micronesianlanguage expert. A diverse selection of language researchand service activities is under way, having been developedeither in response to specific needs identified bygovernments and agencies within the Micronesian region,or because they are specialty areas of MLI professionals.In its first eight years of work, MLI has been engagedin the development of oral language proficiencyassessment tools in Palauan, Chuukese, Pohnpeian andTagalog, and in basic research on the sequence of childlanguage development in these languages. A majorlongitudinal study of the Palauan and English bilingualdevelopment of Palauan youth has been completed.Several evaluation studies of language instructionprograms have been carried out. MLI has coordinated thedevelopment and annual use of the FSM’s national tests oflanguage arts and mathematics, and has provided technicalassistance and training to Peace Corps Micronesia.MLI has engaged in a major needs assessment studyof the impact of migration from FSM and the MarshallIslands to Guam, involving interviews in most of theindigenous languages of the region. In another large-scale

program, Paradisu Family Literacy, MLI staff providedliteracy training to the Chamorro, Chuukese, and Palauancommunities of Guam. To provide baseline data on theimpact of Palau's Compact of Free Association on Guam,MLI has recently completed a census survey of mostPalauan households on Guam.MLI’s programs are financially supported by acombination of funding sources: the Guam Legislature,and grants and contracts awarded by such agencies as theGuam Department of Education, the U. S. Department ofEducation, Northern Marianas College, the Palau Bureauof Education, the U. S. Department of the Interior, GuamBureau of Planning, and the National Department ofEducation of the FSM.WATER AND ENVIRONMENTALRESEARCH INSTITUTE OF THEWESTERN PACIFIC (WERI)The Water and Environmental Research Institute ofthe Western Pacific (WERI) is a research unit of theUniversity of Guam, and serves as the designated waterresearch center for Guam the Federated States ofMicronesia (FSM), and the Commonwealth of theNorthern Marianas Islands (CNMI).

Please note thefollowing four points:1. CEU credit is for career enrichment/advancement. Atno time will CEU credit, by itself, be equivalent toregular credit. CEUs may be integrated into regularcredit courses, provided that the CEU is clearly definedand there is assurance that the CEU does not replaceregular credit requirements approved by the VicePresident of Academic Affairs.2. CEU contact hours can be structured within a regularcredit course, provided that the 10 contact hours to 1CEU equivalency suggested by IACET (see below) ismaintained. CEUs are awarded on a pass/fail basis.Letter grades are not used, as the goal of the CEUexperience is learning enrichment/advancement andnot mastery of scholarly material.3. CEU programs will be governed by the same standardsthat the University of Guam imposes on regularprograms. The University of Guam will have directquality and fiscal control over all CEU activity withinthe institution.4. CEUs cannot be used for degree credit requirements.CEUs and regular credit cannot be earned at the sametime for the same learning experience.Further background information about these units iscontained in these six items:• One CEU is defined as ten contact hours ofparticipation in an organized continuing educationexperience, under responsible sponsorship, capabledirection, and qualified instructors. (This ratio of tenhours to one CEU is recommended by IACET.)• Program objectives, content, format, methods ofinstruction, methods of evaluation, and programschedules will be established prior to thedetermination of the number of contact hours andappropriate CEUs. CEUs do not convert to degreecredit. CEUs may be integrated into regular credit

course work but must be approved on a course-bycoursebasis by the appropriate college academicaffairs committee.• Permanent records for individual participants in CEprograms will be kept.• Course fees will be negotiated between the requestingagency or individuals and the University.• Implementation of all continuing education programswill be in accordance with the criteria and guidelinesof the IACET.• Review, evaluation and approval of CEUs for aneducational experience is the responsibility of theAdministrator of the Professional Development andLife-Long Learning Center.ACADEMIC RULES AND REGULATIONSCREDIT HOURS, CLASS LOADS,AND CLASS LEVELSCredit hours In general, each credit unit or hourrepresents one hour per week in class and two hours inpreparation.

Acombination of a 3-credit course and a 4-credit laboratorycourse, for a total of 7 credits, will be considered apermissible exception to the 6-credit normal class load fora student during a summer term. A full-time student is oneregistered for at least 12 credits during Fall and SpringSemester.Overload (additional credit hours) A student who hasearned less than 60 credits and is making satisfactoryprogress may carry an overload up to a total of 19-21semester hours provided she or he has submitted theRequest for Class Overload form and has the approval ofhis or her academic advisor.A student who has completed 60 credits or more and ismaking satisfactory progress may carry an overload up to atotal of 22-24 semester hours provided she or he hassubmitted the Request for Class Overload form approvedby her or his academic advisor, and the Dean of thestudent's college.Excess credits Credits taken in excess of the 24-hourmaximum (10 for summer term), or credits taken over thenormal load without official authorization, will not begranted or recorded as earned credit. Under theseconditions the hours for which credit will not be granted2006-200732will be those with the latest enrollment date whichconstituted the overload.Class levels Student's class levels are determined on thebasis of credit hours earned, as follows:Freshman:Sophomore:Junior:Senior:1 to 30 credits, inclusive31 to 60 credits, inclusive61 to 90 credits, inclusive91 credits and aboveGRADES, GRADE POINTS, ANDGRADE-POINT AVERAGESAcademic Records The Admissions and RecordsOffice maintains the official academic records on allstudents.Prior to presentation to the faculty for vote on theconferring of degrees, the qualifications of degreecandidates are checked against the official record. TheRecords Office also maintains the official roster ofstudents; records of academic probation, suspensions anddismissals; records of honors; and all other academicrecords.Grades Grades are given in a course by the instructor asrecognition of certain degrees of accomplishment and areto be interpreted as follows: A-Excellent; B-Good; C-Average; P-Passing; D-Barely Passing; F-Failure; I-Incomplete (work is of passing quality but incomplete forgood cause); NC-No Credit. The letter grades A,B,C,D,and F (and I) must be used in every course unless specifiedotherwise in the official catalog course description. (Insome courses the specified grades are A,P,F, or NC. Thegrade NC is not used in most courses). Other symbols,assigned by the Office of Admissions and Records, areadministrative and do not evaluate academic work: W-Official Withdrawal; UW-Unofficial Withdrawal (Note:For gpa calculation, UW is treated as an F grade); CW-Credit Withheld.Generally, upon request the grade report may berequested two regular office days after the deadline forfaculty to submit grades. Students may also review theirgrades using Web Advisor.Auditors A student who is regularly enrolled at theUniversity may apply to attend classes without credit as aregular auditor. The student must obtain the writtenpermission of the instructor, write "audit" in the place of"credit hours" on the advisement and registration form, andpay a fee equivalent to the tuition rate. The auditor'sparticipation in class will be as restricted or as extensive asthe instructor shall indicate to the student.A student may not change a course from "credit" to"audit" status after the first four weeks of a regularsemester (or after the first week of a summer session), nor

2006-2007change a course from "audit" to "credit" status after thefirst three weeks of a regular semester (or after the firstweek of a summer term).Grade changes from Incomplete (letter grades of "I") An"I" may be given to a student who has failed to complete asmall, but important part of the course if the reasons forthe Incomplete are justified by the instructor and the dean.The appropriate incomplete form must be completed andsigned by the dean before the Incomplete can be assignedto the student. The Incomplete form remains on file in theDean's Office. To receive credit for an undergraduatecourse marked "I," the student must satisfactorily completethe unfinished work by the last day of classes of thefollowing regular semester after the incomplete grade wasissued. The faculty will issue a grade following normaltimelines.Should the student fail to complete the specified workto the satisfaction of the instructor, no credit will berecorded and the symbol "I" will be changed to an "F" onher or his record. No requests for time extension will beaccepted.In exception to this policy on Incomplete: (1) For thosecourses which do not use the "F" grade, the equivalentnon-credit grade will be assigned, and (2) All grades ofIncomplete must be resolved prior to certification forgraduation. If a student who is applying for graduation hasan unresolved Incomplete at the time that the Registrarcertifies their eligibility for graduation, the "I" will bechanged to an "F" or equivalent non-credit grade and usedin the final GPA calculation.Other grade changes Grade change requests or appealson the basis of additional academic course work submittedafter the official issuance to the Registrar of a grade for thecourse will not be considered. No grades other than the "I"will be changed on the student's permanent record exceptunder the specific conditions listed below, where errors ofa technical or clerical nature, problems with the instructor'sgrading, or problems in the recording of administrativesymbols such as UW have occurred:• When certified by the instructor and by the Registraras a technical or clerical error; or• When the decision reached through the completedgrievance process as outlined in the Procedure forSolution of Problems of Student Academic Rights inthe Student Handbook specifies that the grade is to bechanged (this grievance procedure is to be used inproblems between the student and the instructorconcerning grading); or• When an appeal for a grade change because ofproblems related to the recording of administrativesymbols that are not actually grades, such as UW, inthe Office of Admissions and Records is approved bythe Senior Vice President of Academic and Student33Affairs (the appeals procedure is used in thesesituations).The official action specifying a grade change under thethree conditions stated above must be submitted in writingto the Registrar who will complete the necessary revisionson the permanent record card.Grades for graduating students Once final grades forgraduating students have been submitted, no change maybe made in the grade except in the case of a clerical error,which must be attested to in writing by the instructor withthe concurrence of the Dean and approved by theRegistrar.Grade points Quality points (for computing averages) areassigned to grades as follows: A-4.00; B-3.00; C-2.0; D-1.00; F-0.00 points.Graduation with honors Graduating seniors completingtheir first baccalaureate degree are recognized foracademic achievement at commencement ceremonies eachyear. The appropriate Latin term, below, indicating thedegree of achievement is inscribed on the graduate'sdiploma and specified in the official transcripts.Transfer students must earn at least half the total hoursrequired (124) at the University of Guam with letter gradesin order to be eligible for honors at graduation. Coursesgraded Pass/Fail/No Credit will not be included in therequired minimum.• Summa Cum Laude• Magna Cum Laude:• Cum Laude:3.900 or highergrade-point average3.700 to 3.899 cumulativegrade-point average3.500 to 3.699 cumulativegrade-point averageGrade-point average (GPA) A GPA is computed fromthe credit hours of all courses (100-level or above) forwhich conventional grades are reported. (The grade NC isnot used in these computations.) The GPA is determinedby dividing the total number of grade points by the totalnumber of credit hours attempted for which a letter gradeof A,B,C,D,or F has been assigned. The GPA is calculatedto three decimal places and is not rounded. GPA averageslisted in these regulations are cut-off points and notmeasurements.A student's cumulative grade-point standing at theUniversity will, at any time, be based on all academicwork attempted at the University of Guam and at theinstitution(s) from which the student transferred credit.Minimum grade-point average requirements Studentsare required to maintain a minimum grade-point average of2.000. (Students admitted prior to Fall 1994 must meet theminimum GPA required in their catalog.) Certain courses,such as developmental English courses, are not included in

2006-2007this average, as the credits are not counted toward anydegree. (See Probation, suspension, dismissal for failure tomaintain minimum GPA.)President's List, Dean's List Full-time undergraduatestudents who are seeking their first baccalaureate degreewho achieve at least a 3.500 GPA for all course workcompleted during an academic term are listed on the"Dean's List" of their respective colleges.

All other requirements arefound in Resolution No. 99-12.DEVELOPMENTAL PROGRAMSDevelopmental English: EN085 and EN085LThe Fundamentals of English courses emphasize writingstructure, grammar, reading improvement and vocabularybuilding. Labs for these courses reinforce materialscovered in class and provide additional practice of neededskills. Placement into these courses is determined by theEnglish Placement Test.Developmental Mathematics: MA085/MA084a-b,Lecture (Levels I, II) The Fundamentals of Mathematicscourse is designed to provide the background necessary foradvancement in mathematics and success in all disciplines.Placement into this course is determined by theMathematics Placement Test.**NOTE: Placement in Developmental English andDevelopmental Mathematics is determined by scores onthe UOG Placement Test. Students placed into this course34should seek appropriate advisement when choosing othercourses.HONORS PROGRAMThe University of Guam Honors Program providesenriched learning opportunities for academicallyoutstanding and intellectually ambitious students. We areparticularly interested in engaging the intellects andimaginations of students who enjoy reading; students wholike to participate actively in small, seminar-type classes;and students who enjoy the benefits of working closelywith faculty mentors to pursue independent study andresearch.It is important to note that the purpose of the honorsprogram is to enrich, not to accelerate. While honorscourses are more challenging than regular courses, they donot involve a significantly greater amount of assignedwork. Because the goal of honors courses is to enrich, notto replace, the regular curriculum, students are able tointegrate honors with the remainder of their academicprograms.All fully matriculated undergraduate students with atleast a 3.000 GPA may enroll in as many as nine (9)semesters hours of honors courses (designated by an "H").After completing 9 semester hours of honors courses, astudent must apply for acceptance as an Honors Student inorder to continue in the Honors program. To be acceptedas an Honors Student, a student must have, at the time ofapplication, a minimum GPA of 3.000. Once accepted asan Honors Student, the student must maintain a GPA of3.300.The Honors Diploma Students may participate in theUOG Honors Program at any of three levels. First, thosestudents wishing to receive an Honors Diploma mustcomplete 30 semester hours of honors study, including anHonors Thesis project.The Honors Certificate Second, students wishing toreceive an Honors Certificate must complete 15 semesterhours of honors work, 9 credits at Tier One and 6 credits atTier Two.Honors Listing on Transcript Finally, students whocomplete less than 15 semester hours of honors study willhave honors courses designated on their transcript with (H)following the course number.Contracting for Honors Credit in Regular CoursesStudents may contract for up to 9 semester hours of lowerlevel honors credit and 3 semester hours of upper levelhonors credit in regular courses.To contract for honors credit in a regular course,students must negotiate the terms of the contract with the

Studentswishing to enroll in honors courses should see the Deans intheir colleges.DEGREES: REQUIREMENTS ANDREGULATIONSResidence requirement In order to receive abaccalaureate degree from the University of Guam, astudent must complete at least 32 credit hours for thedegree in residence at the University of Guam. Theresidence requirements will not be waived under anycircumstances. A student who is no longer in residence atthe University of Guam may request to be graduated inabsentia. In this situation, no more than 16 semester hoursof the last 28 may be completed in absentia over the nexttwo consecutive semesters only. Diplomas for thosegraduating in absentia are filed at the Admissions andRecords Office. Graduates who wish to have theirdiplomas mailed to them must pay the postage applicableat the time they file the request.Minimum grade-point average requirement As acondition for meeting graduation requirements of theUniversity, students must have at least the minimumoverall GPA prescribed by the particular college, which inno case is lower that 2.000, and must have at least a 2.000(C) or better in specific courses required for the major.(See Grades, grade changes, grade points, and grade-pointaverages).A student's cumulative grade-point standing at theUniversity will, at any time, be based on all academicwork attempted at the University of Guam and at theinstitution(s) from which the student transferred.Credit hour requirement A minimum of 124 credithours must be completed for the baccalaureate degree andmust include 40 upper- division credits. (See Transfer2006-200735credit, for specific information about upper-division creditsfor transfer students.)Degree/graduation requirements Degree requirements orgraduation requirements means all courses and creditsneeded to graduate, including general educationrequirements, college requirements, university-widerequirements and major course requirements. If a secondconcurrent major is attempted by the student, coursesacceptable for the general education requirements for thefirst major may be used to satisfy requirements in thesecond major, but credits will not be counted twice.Academic Evaluation An academic evaluation considersall required courses and credit hours and determines whichhave been completed and which have not. After successfulcompletion of approximately one-half (60) of the credithours required for the baccalaureate degree, a student mayrequest an academic evaluation at the Records Office.(For information about transfer credit, see Policies aboutAcademic Credit Transfer)Application for degree (request for graduation) Anapplication for degree must be filed early in the semesterprior to the semester in which the student plans tocomplete. Should the student fail to file this request forgraduation at the Records Office, the necessary stepspreparatory to official awarding of the degree will not betaken, and the actual awarding of the degree may bedelayed. If a student fails to complete degreerequirements, after having filed the application, she or hemust then submit a new application and pay the graduationre-application fee.Program requirements (catalog in force) forgraduation Students will be allowed ten (10) calendaryears of continuous enrollment, from their first enrollmentat the University of Guam to the date of certification ofcompletion of degree requirements for the major, to fulfilldegree requirements of the catalog in force at the time ofentrance. The student must meet all the requirements ofthe catalog in force, and the ten-year time-line will bedated from the time when either of the following twosituations occurs:♦♦A student returns after not attending the University ofGuam for two consecutive regular semesters.(Summer sessions are not regular semesters.)A student changes majors by filing a Change of Majorform or by indicating a different major on a ReentryRequest form, a Request for Evaluation form, or anyother form filed with the Office of Admissions andRecords.Election to change catalog in force (1) Students mayelect to change the catalog in force from the one in force atthe time of their initial admission to the one in force at thetime they request such a change. The ten-year time-linewill be dated from the time of the request. (2) Studentswho enter as undeclared majors may choose the catalog in

force at the time of their initial admission to the Universityor the one in force at the time they declare a major. Theten-year time-line will be dated either from the time of firstadmission or from the time a major is declared, whicheverone the student chooses.Substitutions of courses or major if no longer availableStudents should be aware that the University of Guam doesnot guarantee that all courses or all programs (majors) willcontinue to be offered during the ten-year period permittedto fulfill graduation requirements under a given catalog.Suitable course substitutions will be made in consultationwith the student's major advisor for courses fulfilling themajor requirements for courses meeting general educationrequirements. The Course Substitution Request procedurewill initiate a review and consideration in these cases. If amajor no longer exists, the student (1) may select anothermajor from the catalog in force and must complete therequirements within the time specified for that plan; or (2)may select a major from the catalog in force at the time ofchange, thereby establishing a new time-line.COURSE PREREQUISITE ANDCOURSE CREDITEnglish Prerequisite Students are not permitted to enrollin 300- or 400-level courses until they have completedEN111 with a C or better. A few courses exempt from thispolicy are noted below. (Enrollment in a course that is notexempt will result in disenrollment from that coursewithout refund of tuition.)Art: AR303, AR305, AR306, AR308, AR310, AR311,AR320, AR384, AR405, AR406a-b, AR408a-b, AR420a-b(Studio Courses), AR390/490 (Studio Projects),AR392/492 (Studio Courses), AR393/493 (StudioWorkshops), AR394/494 (Studio Special Studies).Languages: JA301 A-B, JA401 A-B.Theatre: TH303, TH390/490 (Performance Projects),TH392/492 (Performance Courses), TH393/493(Performance Workshops), TH394/494 (PerformanceStudies).Students will be held responsible for observance oftypes and sequences of courses taken and other academicrules and other academic rules and regulations printed inthis catalog or other supplements thereto.Other Course Prerequisites Except for the Universitywidepolicy requiring completion of EN111 beforeenrollment in 300/400 level courses, course prerequisitesare listed immediately after the course descriptions. If noprerequisite is listed, it may be assumed that no othercollege-level course in that area is required. It must beemphasized, however, that the student will, unless grantedpermission by her or his advisor, take classes within her orhis particular class level (freshman, sophomore, junior, orsenior). Other prerequisites are usually listed in the course2006-200736descriptions. Students should check prerequisites beforeenrolling in a course.ENROLLMENT IN LOWER-LEVELCOURSE AFTER COMPLETION OFUPPER-LEVEL COURSEA student may not take a lower level course aftercompleting a more advanced level course in the samesubject area without written permission from theappropriate unit/department.Course Waivers The University makes special allowancesto waive a course under circumstances in which a studenthas demonstrated satisfactorily that she or he would notmaterially benefit from that course because of her or hisprevious experiences, knowledge, and understanding inthat particular subject matter. However, this does notimply that credit will be granted for the course or courseswaived; it does indicate that the student granted theprivilege is prepared to enroll in a more advanced coursein the subject area. Waiving of a course does not reducethe number of credit hours required in a given program;consequently, students will be expected to take moreadvanced courses or electives (either in the same subjectarea or in related areas) in lieu of the courses waived inorder to meet the total minimum credit requirements in agiven program. Thus, a waiver is not analogous to creditby-examination.The authority to grant such waivers is given to thedeans of the colleges in which the courses concerned arelisted. The deans have made provisions for such waiversthrough appropriate methods of examination andevaluation of the student. The respective dean's approvalfor a waiver must be given in writing to the Office ofAdmissions and Records.Advanced placement in English and Math On the basisof placement test scores and an interview with members ofthe English faculty appointed for this purpose, a studentmay be allowed to waive EN110 and may be placeddirectly in EN111. Advanced placement in mathematics isdetermined by the student’s mathematics proficiency, asevaluated by the mathematics placement test administeredto all incoming students. The mathematics departmentmay place students at various levels depending upon anassessment of skills. Contact the Mathematics Departmentfor higher-level placement.Skill Courses For skill courses, such as art studio ormusic studio and applied music courses, waivers may begiven based upon evidence of attained skill satisfactory tothe department faculty concerned and with the approval ofthe Dean.Advanced Placement The University of Guam recognizesthe high scholastic achievement of students who

successfully completed the Advanced Placement Programof the College Board Exams while in secondary school.For advanced placement within the English Program,students who document a score of 3 on the AP exam forEnglish Language and Composition are placed in EN100(unless they take the UOG Placement Test and scorehigher); students who document a score of 4 are placed inEN110; and students who document a score of 5 are placedin EN111 as well as given credit for having taken EN110.The English Program also accepts the results of theCollege Level Examination Program (CLEP) Tests. ForCLEP general examination in English scores reported byEducational Testing Services (ETS) as ranking in the:39 th to 49 th percentile: Students are placed in EN111and given credit for having takenEN110.50 th percentile or above: Students need not takeFreshman Composition but aregiven credit for having takenEN110 and EN111.Additionally, the English Program recognizes studentswho take the International Baccalaureate (IB) LanguageA1 exam. Students who document a score of 4 on the IBLanguage A1 exam are placed in EN100 (unless they takethe UOG Placement Test and score higher); students whodocument a score of 5 are placed in EN110; and studentswho document a score of 6 are placed in EN111 as well asgiven a credit for having taken EN110.Students who report a score of 3 on the AP CalculusAP will be placed in courses beyond that level in theUniversity. Students who report scores of 4 to 5 on theseexams will receive advanced placement and three (3) hoursof academic credit.Scores of 3, 4 or 5 on other AP exams may be acceptedfor advanced placement and/or credit after negotiation withfaculty of relevant disciplines. No AP credit will beconsidered for qualifying scores in biology, chemistry orphysics unless the AP class included at least three hours oflaboratory per week.CREDIT BY EXAMINATIONDefinition and Eligibility Credit by examination refers tothe granting of credit to a student who passes a specific,pre-determined exam for a class that she or he has notactually taken. This credit may be granted in certain cases,but only if the course is one on the credit-by-examinationlisting in the Registrar s office, and only if the student iseligible for earning such credit. A person is ineligible forcredit by examination if she or he has previously enrolledor is currently enrolled in the course. Before applying forcredit by examination any person who has not previouslybeen enrolled at the University of Guam must have been2006-200737accepted by the University, following completion of thestandard Application for Admission form.Application Time Frame Application for credit byexamination can be made only during the first nine weeksof a regular semester or the first three weeks of thesummer session.Form and Procedures Students who wish to completeindividual courses by taking credit-by-examination testsmust begin the process by picking up Request for Creditby-examinationforms in the Records Office and byfollowing the procedures outlined on them.Examination and Grade A standard examination will beat least equal in time and intensity to a final examination inthe approved course. This examination must be takenduring the semester in which the person enrolls for suchcredit. If the exam is not taken before the end of thesemester, the grade of "UW" will be assigned. The studentdoes have the right to make application again for the samecourse credit by examination. Upon completion of theexamination, the prescribed evaluative symbols(appropriate for the course) and quality points toward thegrade point average will be recorded in the Registrar'soffice.Fees For individual courses, the person will be chargedthe same tuition fees per credit hour she or he would pay ifregistering for the course.SENIORS TAKING GRADUATE COURSESGraduate Courses Under certain circumstances a seniorwith a cumulative GPA of 3.000 or better may take certain400G or 500-level courses for graduate credit. If thecredits are counted toward a baccalaureate degree, theymay not also subsequently be counted toward a graduatedegree. Please note that no undergraduate student mayregister for or receive credit for graduate courses exceptaccording to these policies.Form and Procedures The student must (1) procure andcomplete the Graduate Credit Request Form available fromthe Records Office (2) present it to the Registrar, who willcertify that senior .has a cumulative GPA of 3.000 orhigher, and is in the semester prior to graduation; (3)obtain the signatures of her or his advisor or thedepartment head of her or his major and the graduate dean.Grading Grading will be on the same basis as that ofgraduate students.Petitioning for Credit A student denied credit for coursework completed at the university or at other accrediteduniversities and colleges may petition the University foracceptance of such courses for credit. Petitions must beaccompanied by approvals of the chairman of thedepartment or division and the dean of the college inwhich the course is offered. Petition forms are available in

Students who havebeen dismissed a second time may not appeal forreadmission until three (3) academic years have passed.Probation/suspension for Unofficial WithdrawalStudents who accumulate three or more unofficialwithdrawals (UW), whether in one semester or insubsequent semester, will be put on probation thefollowing semester. Any UW received while on probationwill be a violation of that status and result in the penaltiesprescribed under the probation/suspension policy. (SeeProbation, suspension, dismissal for failure to maintainminimum GPA)Satisfactory or Unsatisfactory Progress The Universityof Guam considers students to be making satisfactoryprogress when they are not on probation, suspension ordismissal. A student on probation, suspension or dismissalis considered as not making satisfactory progress.Retaking of Courses A student may repeat a course atUOG to raise his/her grade only if he/she earns a grade of“D” or below in such University of Guam course. Allstudents are urged to repeat courses (when the course isscheduled) in this situation (this is particularly importantfor students who are on probation). If the course isrepeated, the original course attempted remains on the2006-200738student’s transcripts but only the last grade made in thecourse (except W) will be considered in determining thestudent’s grade-point average and for transfer andgraduation records.Leave of Absence The University of Guam does notpermit leaves of absence except as described in thissection.ACADEMIC RENEWALDefinition Former University of Guam students whoseacademic performance resulted in their probationsuspension or dismissal from the University may apply forre admission to the University with a request that theirprior academic record be disregarded. If approved, suchstudents re-enter the University with no credits attempted,no credits earned, and no quality (grade) points earned.This policy may be evoked by students only once and isapplicable only to students enrolled at UOG and only forUOG credits.Time requirements and evidence of change At leastthree full calendar years must have elapsed since the endof the last semester in which the applicant was enrolled.The applicant may be asked to present adequate evidencethat the conditions which caused the prior poor academicperformance have changed so that there is a reasonableexpectation that the applicant can perform satisfactorily ifpermitted to resume her or his studies.Academic History The prior academic record remains apart of the person's overall academic history, but none of itis carried forward as part of her or his program. That is,none of the credits earned previously can be used in thestudent's program after readmission under the academicrenewal policy. Students showing competency in any areamay be allowed advanced standing (without credit) orwaiver of requirements like any other student, but will notbe permitted to earn credit by examination for courses thatthey enrolled in prior to requesting re-entry under thispolicy.STUDENT APPEAL PROCEDURESStudents have the right to appeal decisions made inrelationship to admission requirements, records,registration and academic rules.

This sentiment has become a foundation stoneupon which the Western University philosophy was built.The goal of a University education is for students tolearn not only how to make a living, but also how to live aproductive and fulfilling life. It is the latter goal thatdistinguishes a University from a trade school. Whilecourses in one’s major field prepare a student for successin a chosen profession, the general education programhelps prepare one for success in life.This is the reason why baccalaureate degree studentsare required to complete at least 55 hours in the generaleducation program. The goal is not merely to provideanswers, but also to learn how to ask questions:What is the purpose of life? How has the world cometo be the way it is now? What can we expect in the future?What is the relationship between an individual and society,between societies within the global village? How arePacific Island cultures different from and similar to othersocieties? What historic, geographic, economic andpolitical factors contributed to those differences? How canI use technology instead of being used by it? How doscientific discoveries affect me? How can I understand the

impact of world politics and economics on my life? Howcan I maintain my health and protect the environment?How can I communicate more effectively and bring morehappiness into my life? What is beauty? How can I fulfillmy creative urges? How can I help make the world abetter place?Students are provided with methods of inquiry andanalysis from various disciplines within the arts andsciences and an enlarged worldview through which tostudy specific issues. These skills can be applied toproblem-solving within personal, professional or societalcontexts. As the only American University located in theWestern Pacific, the University of Guam offers exposureto American, world, and regional learning traditions whileproviding examples of how each of these traditions isenriched by the others.Futurists speculate that in the next decade half thepeople in America will be working in professions that donot exist today. Currently, one of the greatest challengesfor people in all professions is the ability to adapt tochanges. A well-rounded general education program helpsdevelop the ability to transfer skills learned in oneprofession to that of another.GENERAL EDUCATION REQUIREMENTSStudents who plan to complete a baccalaureate degreeat the University of Guam are required to complete theGeneral Education program described in the catalog.

The four majordivisions of anthropology are archaeology, culturalanthropology, anthropological linguistics and biological(or physical) anthropology. A popular conception ofanthropology is that it is the study of either ancient orremote and exotic living people. But anthropology, infact, is concerned with studying the cultural, social andbiological configurations of all human societies, past andpresent.Given Western Micronesia’s geographic, historical,socio-cultural and human biological realities,Anthropology is a particularly appealing and relevantprogram of study at the University of Guam. The everchangingdynamics of Guam’s contemporary multiculturalsociety, and the presently under-appreciatedheritage (historical, cultural, linguistic, and biological) ofthe indigenous peoples of the Marianas and Micronesia,situate the University of Guam as an ideal setting forfaculty and students to engage in anthropological (andcollaborative, transdisciplinary) research. Library andlaboratory resources include the Anthropology Resource& Research Center (Dean’s Circle, House 32), theAnthropology Teaching Laboratory (HSS110) and bothmicrofiche and online web-based access to the HumanRelations Area Files at RFK Memorial Library. Theprogram is focused on the study of culture change, and thebiological and cultural history and adaptations ofindigenous Pacific populations. Faculty members arepresently engaged in research in archaeology, biologicalanthropology, cultural anthropology, cultural change, andbiomedical anthropology.The primary objective of the anthropology program isto expand students’ appreciation of the reasons for thecultural and biological diversity of humankind. Suchedification has a humanizing effect on students and is adesirable facet of their liberal education. Additionally, theprogram prepares students interested in a career inanthropology with a foundation for professional training.ANTHROPOLOGY MAJOR REQUIREMENTS(Total: 43 Credit Hours)Required Courses (25 credit hours): AN101, AN203,AN212, AN222, AN332, AN413, LN300, and MA385.Electives (18 credit hours): Upper divisionAnthropology courses; 6 credit hours may be selected

In the Arts,both are necessary.The most unique aspect of the program is thecombining of Art, Music, and Theater into one major.While the norm is to isolate the arts into three separateareas, the Fine Arts Major at UOG encourages acontinuing dialogue between artists of different disciplines.It is to the advantage of the Fine Arts student, through the9 credit hours of Fine Arts Core courses, to be regularlyand formally placed into contact with the other disciplinesthat make up the Fine Arts Major.

LINGUISTICS COURSESLinguistics offers students a view of how language asa human phenomenon is constructed and how it functionsin society. Linguistics courses are included in the Englishmajor and minor, the English and Secondary EducationMajor, and the Anthropology major.PHILOSOPHY PROGRAMThe philosophy program has three goals. First, thephilosophy program has an obligation to inform studentsof the fundamental problems and central individuals thathave dominated the field of philosophy for the last threemillennia. Second, it attempts to develop reflective andcritical thinking skills that can be applied to theaforementioned problems as well as problems generated inother areas of study. Presumably, these skills are to becarried with the student long after they leave theuniversity, to be used as valuable reasoning skills that willassist them in future endeavors. Third, the program tries toexpose students to the cultures and ways of thinking foundin all parts of the world. Philosophy attempts to unearththe basic presuppositions that underlie a particular cultureand then contrast them with other presuppositions inherentin different cultures. It is on this fundamental level thatone can truly come to understand the unique way thatindividuals in each culture approach life and attempt toaddress the perennial problems that life presents them.2006-2007Asian-Pacific region.

Courses are offered to meet the requirements ofspecific majors, e.g., chemistry, mathematics, agriculture,and biology.PREPROFESSIONAL PROGRAMSPRE-ENGINEERING PROGRAMThe University of Guam Engineering ScienceProgram parallels the engineering programs offered during

the first two years at major colleges and universities. Inorder to complete his or her studies, it is expected that thestudent would transfer to another university that offersdegrees in particular fields of engineering after completingthe required course work in this program.The first two years of engineering study placeemphases on learning the tools and theories and providingthe background for all engineering fields. Rigorous studiesin mathematics and the physical sciences of chemistry andphysics will be required of all students in the program.Students will also be required to take courses in the socialsciences and humanities in order to round out theireducational experience.Students requiring developmental work in the areas ofmathematics or English are welcomed to the program, butcompletion of the program will probably take longer thantwo years for these students.Advising of those participating in the EngineeringProgram will be handled by the pre-engineering advisorsin the Division of Mathematical Sciences and the Waterand Environmental Research Institute.Recommended Engineering Science Curriculum:English and Communication: EN111, CO210.Mathematics:MA301.MA203, MA204, MA205, MA271,Physical Sciences: PH251, PH210, PH252, PH211,CH102-102L, CH103-103L.Engineering Science: ES100, ES101, ES201, ES202.Physical Education: 2 CreditsElective Courses: 9 credits of courses in category II andIII of General Education Course requirements. At least 3credits should be taken in each category.PREMEDICAL, PREOPTOMETRY,PREDENTAL AND PREVETERINARYPROGRAMS2006-2007general biology, and two years of chemistry (throughorganic chemistry).Courses such as quantitative analysis, biochemistry,cell physiology, genetics and comparative anatomy areoften recommended if scheduling permits. Often, premed,preoptometry and predental students will choose to majorin math or the sciences, but this is not necessary so long asthe required courses are taken. Prospective premeds,preoptometry and predents should realize that nationalexaminations (the Medical College Aptitude Test, MCAT;the Optometry College Admission Test, OCAT; and theDental Aptitude Test, DAT) are to be taken in the junioryear of college; required courses should be completed or inprogress before these exams are scheduled in order toassure adequate scores. Information on MCAT, OCATand DAT can be obtained from the Office of Counselingand Career Planning; Guam is an officially designated testsite for these exams.Those who are interested in veterinary medicine cancomplete basic science requirements at the University ofGuam. However, there are very few schools of veterinarymedicine and they are extremely selective. They usuallyrequire, in addition to basic science, agriculture courses inanimal husbandry, animal nutrition, etc., and all havespecific state residency requirements which being aresident of Guam does not fulfill. Pre-vet students areencouraged to attend the University of Guam for twoyears, during which time basic science courses can betaken and appropriate catalogs studied.Advisement for these preprofessional courses ishandled through the biology major advisor in the Divisionof Natural Sciences, and all students who plan to go tomedical, optometry, dental, and veterinary schools areencouraged to seek this advisement, regardless of theirsubject area. The University of Guam presentlyparticipates in a special “Undeserved in Sight” programwith the Pacific University College of Optometry, and aspecial program for Pacific Island students is available.Inquiries from high school students and other Guamresidents are welcomed.The University of Guam offers all courses, which arerequired to attend post-graduate medical, optometry anddental schools, and these courses are as rigorous as coursesin other accredited institutions. However, the Universityof Guam does not offer a “pre-med major,” etc., sequenceof courses, because most medical, optometry and dentalschools prefer to consider candidates who have completeda subject area major. Therefore, those who plan tocontinue their studies in medical, optometry or dentalschool should choose a subject area major, and, inaddition, should schedule mathematics through calculus,one year of college or university physics, one year of71
