The approved Incomplete and deadline will be recordedin the course grading system. The student is responsible for knowing the deadline and therequirements for course completion.When issuing an incomplete grade, instructors will issue the grade the student would haveearned by assessing scores on all graded requirements, preceded by an “I” (e.g. IC-, ID+).This grade is determined by including zero points for the missing assignment(s) in thecalculation of the final grade. If the agreed upon course work is not completed in theperiod allotted and an extension has not been granted, the initial grade issued, withoutthe “I”, will become the grade of record. If the instructor determines that the studentwould receive an “F” grade based upon the zero point calculation, then an “I” is enteredas the final grade, with zero credit given and no grade points calculated. “I” grades willbecome “F” or “NP” if the agreed upon coursework is not completed in the period allotted.For final grades other than “I” (e.g. IC-, ID+), students will receive credit for the course atthe time the initial grade is entered. The initial grade is calculated in both the term andcumulative GPA, to be updated if and when the subsequent grade is submitted.Reading and Conference CoursesReading and conference courses are offered only when absolutely necessary to senior orgraduate students with a <strong>Chapman</strong> <strong>University</strong> grade point average of at least 2.75. Thecourses may be taken only for the purpose of meeting graduation or credentialrequirements by students who could not meet the requirements because ofcircumstances beyond their control. They are not offered to resolve scheduling conflictswith other classes, or work, or to complete a schedule. To enroll in reading and conference


36 UNDERGRADUATE ACADEMIC POLICIES AND PROCEDUREScourses, students must obtain a Request for Course by Reading and Conference formfrom their campus. A minimum of 5 hours of instruction for each credit is required forreading and conference courses.Independent Study and ResearchIndependent study and research is offered to upper-division and graduate students withoverall grade point averages of at least 3.0 “B”, to research particular topics that are notprovided by regular curriculum offerings. To enroll in independent study and research, astudent must obtain an Independent Study and Research form from their campus. Aminimum of 5 hours of instructor-student contact for each hour of credit is required.Students should spend 40 to 50 hours in instruction and research for each credit ofindependent study.Standards of Academic IntegrityAs a community of scholars, <strong>Chapman</strong> <strong>University</strong> <strong>College</strong> emphasizes the mutualresponsibility of all members to seek knowledge honestly and in good faith. Students areresponsible for doing their own work, and academic dishonesty of any kind will not betolerated anywhere in the <strong>University</strong>. In order to safeguard the conditions under whichscholarship is performed, measured, and evaluated, the following will serve to defineacademic dishonesty, to identify procedures for hearing cases involving academic integrityviolations, and to give suggested guidelines for sanctions according to the offense.A. Academic Integrity ViolationsAcademic dishonesty can take a number of forms. It includes, but is not limited to,cheating on a test or examination; claiming the work of another as your own; plagiarizingany paper, research project, or assignment; or falsely submitting material to fulfill courserequirements.Cheating includes unauthorized copying from the work of another student, with or withoutthat student's consent, using notes or other unauthorized material during a test period,and giving or receiving assistance from another when it is expected the student willperform his or her own work.Falsifying data to show either the process or the product of scholarly examination to bedifferent from what actually occurred is also considered dishonest. This includes falselyreporting attendance or participation in any field-work experience.Students may not submit work done in one course to satisfy the requirements of anothercourse, unless both instructors agree beforehand to accept such work. Forged or altereddocuments may not be presented. This includes transcripts, add/drop forms, or anyacademic form which has been falsified or on which a professor's signature, or anyoneelse's signature, has been forged or altered.Failure to report any previous academic work at another college or <strong>University</strong> isconsidered a violation of academic integrity.


UNDERGRADUATE ACADEMIC POLICIES AND PROCEDURES 37B. Procedures for Hearing and InvestigationIn cases involving academic integrity violations, the appropriate action is initiated by thecourse instructor. If the instructor believes a student has violated the <strong>University</strong>standards, the following action should be taken:1. The instructor must contact the student(s) to discuss the possible violation. If thetransgression occurs during class, as during a test or examination, the instructorshould deal with the situation at that time. Otherwise, the student(s) will meet withthe instructor for the purpose of settling the issue of guilt or innocence. If thestudent(s) admits guilt, or if the instructor and student(s) involved agree a violationtook place, then an appropriate sanction may be set at that time. A report of thisaction will be filed with the appropriate campus, appropriate Dean, and AcademicIntegrity Committee Chair.2. If the student(s) does not admit guilt, if an agreement upon sanction cannot bereached, or if any party does not agree with the resolution of the specific issue ofacademic integrity, then the matter will be taken up with the appropriate Dean. In thiscase, the Dean will contact the involved faculty member and the student(s) in aneffort to resolve the matter, and initiate whatever action is deemed appropriate.3. If there is dissatisfaction with the decision and recommendation made by the Dean,any of the parties may request a hearing through the <strong>University</strong> <strong>College</strong> AcademicIntegrity Committee. In this instance, the committee will take whatever action isdeemed necessary to answer questions and determine the truth of each particularcase4. Finally, if any party still feels extenuating circumstances or new information was notadequately considered by the Academic Integrity Committee, or that the sanctionsimposed are unfair, the matter may be brought on appeal to the Vice Chancellor ofAcademic Affairs for final disposition. At this juncture, the Vice Chancellor will thentake whatever action is deemed appropriate. The Vice Chancellor of Academic Affairsdecision is final and binding.In all cases of alleged violations of academic integrity it is vital to maintain confidentiality.None of the parties involved should discuss the issue outside the above procedures.Dismissal for a violation of academic integrity will be noted on the transcript.Procedures Concerning Student Classroom BehaviorFaculty members are responsible for ensuring an effective learning environment for allstudents in their classes, which encourages active student participation, including theright to raise questions and challenge information. Hence, faculty members also have theresponsibility and authority to maintain appropriate student behavior. Classes are definedas including laboratories, internships, field placements, or any settings that can bedesignated as a learning environment, such as travel studies and field trips.Consequently, if a student is considered to be threatening or disruptive in the classroom,behaves in a way that interferes with the learning of other students, or refuses to fulfill theacademic requirements of the course, the faculty member has the right to have thestudent who demonstrates such behavior removed from the class, either by administrative


38 UNDERGRADUATE ACADEMIC POLICIES AND PROCEDURESwithdrawal or by making arrangements for the student to complete the requirements inabsentia.The faculty member should immediately report the matter to the Dean and CampusDirector.

LIBERAL STUDIES 57Liberal StudiesLaurie G. Dodge, Ph.D., Interim Dean, Arts and SciencesArmando Arias Jr., Ph.D.Ronald Ball, Ph.D., Ed.D.Les Clements, Ph.D.John Freed, Ph.D.Bruce Hamlett, Ph.D.Bachelor of ArtsNearly all contemporary human problems are more failures of imagination, observation,analysis, interpretation, communication, common sense, integrity, courage to act, faith,compassion or introspection than insufficiencies of material means to solve them. Theseare the areas of competency addressed in liberal studies. Literary critic Harold Bloomrecently asked, "Where can wisdom be found?" Ciero answered him almost two thousandyears before: "Not to have knowledge of what happened before you were born , is to becondemned to live your life as a child."The Liberal Studies program at <strong>Chapman</strong>'s <strong>University</strong> <strong>College</strong> primarily serves twosignificantly different but related types of students and therefore has two options: theMultiple Subjects Teaching Emphasis and the Culture and Media Studies Emphasis.Liberal Studies with the Multiple Subjects Teaching Emphasis is the undergraduatemajor of choice for the individual desiring to teach in an elementary classroom. Studentswith an interest in media arts, cultural and historical studies may want to choose the moreflexible degree-completion pathway of the Culture and Media Studies Emphasis. (NOTE:Students interested more specifically in the social sciences should consider the B.A. inSocial Science. Those students more interested in studying early childhood shouldconsider the B.A. in Early Childhood Development.)I. The Multiple Subjects Teaching EmphasisBuilding on the interdisciplinary foundation of LBSU 300, the multiple subjects teachingemphasis encompasses college instruction in the subjects that are commonly taught inCalifornia's elementary schools (K-8) and is designed to prepare the student to pass thestate CBEST and CSET examination. (CSET Prep courses are offered through extendededucation), and gain direct entry into a state-approved teacher credentialing programeither at <strong>Chapman</strong> or at another university. NOTE: The post-baccalaureate credentialprogram at <strong>Chapman</strong> <strong>University</strong> <strong>College</strong> requires a minimum undergraduate GPA of 2.5 forthe last 60 semester hours for admission.All courses taken in the major program must be passed with a grade equivalent of "C" orhigher. Courses may be used to fulfill both major and general education requirements.

LIBERAL STUDIES 59II. The Culture and Media Studies EmphasisIn the early 21st century, we face "culture wars" in the United States and around the globeas competing ideologies share an ever shrinking planet. How did we get here? Where arewe going? Where do we want to go?The Culture and Media Studies Emphasis seeks to address such concerns by immersingstudents in the various ways of human creating, valuing, knowing and behaving in order toprovide a fuller appreciation of the human condition throughout its cultural history. Thestudy of the humanities is "discovery learning" itself, as Freud attests, "The poets andphilosophers before me discovered the unconscious. What I discovered was a scientificmethod by which the unconscious could be studied."The artistic, historical, religious and philosophical traditions of global cultures areexamined through meditated lenses that were shaped by the political and ethicalreference points of the West. The Western lens itself is a subject of study and reflection.This humanities-based approach is interdisciplinary by its very nature exploring theintersection of high and popular culture; economics and politics; visual and verballanguage and literacy; ethnic and gender identities, and technology and media. In theseways this emphasis is closely related to "cultural studies." This emphasis richly containsthe artistic treasure trove that has been made so accessible to our desktops by means ofnew electronic media technologies.This curriculum is especially useful for students to customize their study of the humanitieseither generally or more concentrated in a specific discipline.This emphasis can also be good preparation for students seeking a single subjectteaching credential in language arts and/or social studies or for those preparing formultiple subjects credentialing. NOTE: These students might consider electing to takeLBSU 401 as part of their undergraduate degree completion program.Students pursuing the Culture and Media Studies Emphasis must receive a gradeequivalent of at least "C" for courses taken to fulfill major requirements. Courses may beused to fulfill both major and general education requirements.A.

The new campus will request a copyof the student file.Attendance PolicyClass attendance policies are determined by each instructor and shall be included on thecourse outline distributed during the first week of each class. The <strong>University</strong> recommendsas a minimal policy that students who are absent 20% of the course should be failed.Registering for ClassesStudents register for each session via WebAdvisor or at their campus location.Registration is not complete until all charges are paid or arrangements for payment havebeen made with the Student Business Services staff by the add/drop deadline. Studentswho wish to register after the add deadline, must petition and pay a late registration fee ifapproved. See academic calendar for registration deadlines.


82 GRADUATE ACADEMIC POLICIES AND PROCEDURESAdd/Drop ProcedureTo add a class, a student must do so through WebAdvisor or submit an Add/Drop form tothe campus by the end of the first week of the session.To drop a class a student must do so through WebAdvisor or submit an Add/Drop form tothe campus by the end of the second week of the session. Drops that are officiallyprocessed prior to or by the end of the second week will not appear on the student'stranscripts. After the second week of the session, student that wish to withdraw from acourse must do so by the end of the seventh week, either via Web Advisor or bysubmission of an add/drop form. A grade of "W" will appear on the student's transcriptsindicating the withdrawal. Students cannot drop a course beyond the seventh week of thesession. It is the student's responsibility to officially withdraw from a course. Failure toattend a course does not constitute a withdrawal from a course. Students who stopattending courses without officially withdrawing will receive an "FW" (failure to withdraw). Agrade of "FW" is calculated as 0.0 in student's grade point average.Administrative DropStudents who do not attend a class during the first two weeks of classes will beadministratively dropped, unless they make arrangements with the instructor prior to thefirst day of class. Students should not assume that nonattendance will automaticallyresult in an administrative drop. To avoid financial obligation to the <strong>University</strong>, it is theresponsibility of the student to verify that he/she has been dropped from the course bycompleting an Add/Drop form, or by dropping courses via WebAdvisor.Complete Course Withdrawal ProceduresStudents who do not attend a class during the first two weeks of classes will beadministratively dropped, unless they make arrangements with the instructor prior to thefirst day of class. Contact may be made in-person, by mail, email, fax, telephone orWebAdvisor. A student who stops attending classes without notifying the <strong>University</strong> willreceive a grade of FW" (failure to withdraw). A grade of "FW" is equivalent to a failing ("F")grade and is calculated as such when determining grade point averages.Students must officially withdraw before the end of the seventh week of classes in orderto avoid being responsible for a grade in their classes. Although a student will be unable toreceive a "W" grade, financial aid recipients who wish to withdraw after the seventh weekshould contact the Office of the Registrar in order to retain their financial aid for thesession in which they are withdrawing.


GRADUATE ACADEMIC POLICIES AND PROCEDURES 83Interrupted EnrollmentStudents may find it necessary to interrupt progress during their course of study, leave<strong>Chapman</strong> and decide to return at a later date. Students who leave the <strong>University</strong> in goodstanding and return within ten consecutive sessions, do not need to reapply, and willretain the program requirements of their designated catalog year.The <strong>University</strong> may require students to adopt the catalog year program requirements atthe time of their return if a program has become impacted or changed by externalregulatory agencies.If students take coursework during their absence from the <strong>University</strong>, they must providetranscripts of that coursework to the Registrar's Office prior to their return. Nonsatisfactoryperformance or issues of academic integrity may nullify the student's eligibilityto return.Re-admissionStudents returning after a ten consecutive session absence from the <strong>University</strong> arerequired to submit a full application for re-admission and must meet all current admissionentrance requirements.Seven-Year LimitationAll requirements for graduate degrees and credential programs, including coursesaccepted for transfer credit from other institutions, must be completed within a seven-yearperiod. Interrupted enrollment does not alter the seven year period for completion of allgraduate degree requirements.Grading SymbolsA Exceptional performance indicates consistently excellent performance and distinctlysuperior quality of work.B Good performance indicates overall satisfactory performance in completing courserequirements at the level expected for an advanced degree.C Substandard performance indicates performance below the standard necessary for anadvanced degree; while credit toward graduation is awarded for most courses, somecourses must be repeated. No grade below “C” is acceptable toward a degree program.F Failure indicates failure to satisfy minimum course requirements. No credit towardgraduation is awarded.


84 GRADUATE ACADEMIC POLICIES AND PROCEDURESI (plus a grade) is given when the student has been unable to complete the requirementsof the course owing to illness or other extenuating circumstances. When entered it iscalculated as the grade the student will earn if the incomplete is not removed within thetime prescribed by the instructor. (IA, IA-,IB+,IB,IB-,IC+,IC,IC-,ID+,ID,ID-, INP)W signifies that a student has withdrawn from a course in the prescribed manner.FW is assigned at the instructor’s discretion to students who cease attending part waythrough the session without submitting a Change of Program form to withdraw. It iscomputed in the grade point average as an “F”.P is for Pass, a grade given for satisfactory completion of a course. Grade points are notassigned and it is not computed in the grade average.NP is for No Pass, a grade given when the requirements for credit in the course have notbeen satisfied. Courses taken with this grade are not calculated in the student’s gradepoint average but are considered by the Academic Standards Subcommittee regardingstudent continuance.SP is for Satisfactory Progress. This grading symbol is used to indicate a student isprogressing toward the completion of a course which does not end by the normal sessionending date or of a thesis or project. It is never a final grade. Upon completion of thecourse or thesis project, the SP grade is replaced with a letter grade, HP, P, or NP gradingsymbol. No grade points are assigned for HP, P, or NP grades.AU is for audited coursework. No grade or credit is awarded to students for auditing, andcourses are not used in computing the grade point average.NR is for Not Reported, indicating that the instructor has not submitted the final grade,therefore no credits or grade points can be calculated for this course.Grading SystemAll grades are on a 4.0 scaleA = 4.0 B = 3.0 C = 2.0A- = 3.7 B- = 2.7 C- = 1.7B+ = 3.3 C+ = 2.3 F = 0.0Course AuditStudents may audit a class if they choose to do so. No credit is earned from auditedclasses. A grade of "AU" is assigned to audited classes, which is not used in computingthe grade point average. Course requisites are enforced in determination of registrationeligibility for the course. Audit fees may be assessed. It is strongly recommended thatstudents confer with their advisor prior to officially auditing a course.Students may select Audit as an option at the time they initially register for courses viaWebAdvisor. After initial registration in a course, in order to change the grading basis (e.g.to Audit) students must submit a change of grading system form to the Registrar's Office


GRADUATE ACADEMIC POLICIES AND PROCEDURES 85by the end of the 7th week. Changes in grading basis cannot be done via WebAdvisor.Course requirements such as homework, exams and papers are not graded by theinstructor for students who are auditing a class.Courses Repeated for Higher GradesExcept as specified by department or school, any graduate-level course number 400-600at <strong>University</strong> <strong>College</strong> may be repeated to improve the grade. The lower grade remains onthe record with a notation that the course has been repeated. Only the higher grade andcredit are computed in the grade point average. Credit is given only once for a repeatedcourse, except as noted in the course description. It is recommended that a course berepeated as soon as practical if it is to be taken for a higher grade. In exercising thisoption, a graduate student must repeat the course at <strong>Chapman</strong> <strong>University</strong> <strong>College</strong>.IncompletesInstructors may issue a grade of Incomplete only when the major portion of a course hasbeen completed satisfactorily, but health or other emergency reasons prevent the studentfrom finishing all requirements in the course. The Incomplete process may not be used fora student to improve a grade or receive extra time to complete requirements.During careful consultation with the student, the instructor will determine the deadline forall work to be completed and submitted, which shall be no longer than one year from thedate the Incomplete was issued. The approved Incomplete and deadline will be recordedin the course grading system. The student is responsible for knowing the deadline and therequirements for course completion.When issuing an incomplete grade, instructors will issue the grade the student would haveearned by assessing scores on all graded requirements, preceded by an “I” (e.g. IC-, ID+).This grade is determined by including zero points for the missing assignment(s) in thecalculation of the final grade. If the agreed upon course work is not completed in theperiod allotted and an extension has not been granted, the initial grade issued, withoutthe “I”, will become the grade of record. If the instructor determines that the studentwould receive an “F” grade based upon the zero point calculation, then an “I” is enteredas the final grade, with zero credit given and no grade points calculated. “I” grades willbecome “F” or “NP” if the agreed upon coursework is not completed in the period allotted.For final grades other than “I” (e.g. IC-, ID+), students will receive credit for the course atthe time the initial grade is entered. The initial grade is calculated in both the term andcumulative GPA, to be updated if and when the subsequent grade is submitted.Reading and Conference CoursesReading and conference courses are offered only when absolutely necessary to graduatestudents with an overall grade point average of at least 2.75. The courses may be takenonly for the purpose of meeting graduation or credential requirements by students who


86 GRADUATE ACADEMIC POLICIES AND PROCEDUREScould not meet the requirements because of circumstances beyond their control. They arenot offered to resolve scheduling conflicts with other classes, or work, or to complete aschedule. To enroll in reading and conference courses, students must obtain a Requestfor Course by Reading and Conference form from their campus. A minimum of 5 hours ofinstruction for each credit is required for reading and conference courses.Independent Study and ResearchIndependent study and research is offered to upper-division and graduate students withoverall grade point averages of at least 3.0 “B”, to research particular topics that are notprovided for by regular curriculum offerings. To enroll in independent study and research,a student must obtain an Independent Study and Research form from their campus. Aminimum of 5 hours of instructor-student contact for each hour of credit is required.Students should spend 40 to 50 hours in instruction and research for each credit ofindependent study.Standards of Academic IntegrityAs a community of scholars, <strong>Chapman</strong> <strong>University</strong> <strong>College</strong> emphasizes the mutualresponsibility of all members to seek knowledge honestly and in good faith. Students areresponsible for doing their own work, and academic dishonesty of any kind will not betolerated anywhere in the <strong>University</strong>. In order to safeguard the conditions under whichscholarship is performed, measured, and evaluated, the following will serve to defineacademic dishonesty, to identify procedures for hearing cases involving academic integrityviolations, and to give suggested guidelines for sanctions according to the offense.A. Academic Integrity ViolationsAcademic dishonesty can take a number of forms. It includes, but is not limited to,cheating on a test or examination; claiming the work of another as your own; plagiarizingany paper, research project, or assignment; or falsely submitting material to fulfill courserequirements.Cheating includes unauthorized copying from the work of another student, with or withoutthat student's consent, using notes or other unauthorized material during a test period,and giving or receiving assistance from another when it is expected the student willperform his or her own work.Falsifying data to show either the process or the product of scholarly examination to bedifferent from what actually occurred is also considered dishonest. This includes falselyreporting attendance or participation in any field-work experience.Students may not submit work done in one course to satisfy the requirements of anothercourse, unless both instructors agree beforehand to accept such work. Forged or altereddocuments may not be presented. This includes transcripts, add/drop forms, or anyacademic form which has been falsified or on which a professor's signature, or anyoneelse's signature, has been forged or altered.


GRADUATE ACADEMIC POLICIES AND PROCEDURES 87Failure to report any previous academic work at another college or <strong>University</strong> isconsidered a violation of academic integrity.B. Procedures for Hearing and InvestigationIn cases involving academic integrity violations, the appropriate action is initiated by thecourse instructor. If the instructor believes a student has violated the <strong>University</strong>standards, the following action should be taken:1. The instructor must contact the student(s) to discuss the possible violation. If thetransgression occurs during class, as during a test or examination, the instructorshould deal with the situation at that time. Otherwise, the student(s) will meet withthe instructor for the purpose of settling the issue of guilt or innocence. If thestudent(s) admits guilt, or if the instructor and student(s) involved agree a violationtook place, then an appropriate sanction may be set at that time. A report of thisaction will be filed with the appropriate campus, appropriate Dean, and AcademicIntegrity Committee Chair.2. If the student(s) does not admit guilt, if an agreement upon sanction cannot bereached, or if any party does not agree with the resolution of the specific issue ofacademic integrity, then the matter will be taken up with the appropriate Dean. In thiscase, the Dean will contact the involved faculty member and the student(s) in aneffort to resolve the matter, and initiate whatever action is deemed appropriate.3. If there is dissatisfaction with the decision and recommendation made by the Dean,any of the parties may request a hearing through the <strong>University</strong> <strong>College</strong> AcademicIntegrity Committee. In this instance, the committee will take whatever action isdeemed necessary to answer questions and determine the truth of each particularcase4. Finally, if any party still feels extenuating circumstances or new information was notadequately considered by the Academic Integrity Committee, or that the sanctionsimposed are unfair, the matter may be brought on appeal to the Vice Chancellor ofAcademic Affairs for final disposition. At this juncture, the Vice Chancellor will thentake whatever action is deemed appropriate. The Vice Chancellor of Academic Affairsdecision is final and binding.In all cases of alleged violations of academic integrity it is vital to maintain confidentiality.None of the parties involved should discuss the issue outside the above procedures.Dismissal for a violation of academic integrity will be noted on the transcript.Procedures Concerning Student Classroom BehaviorFaculty members are responsible for ensuring an effective learning environment for allstudents in their classes, which encourages active student participation, including theright to raise questions and challenge information. Hence, faculty members also have theresponsibility and authority to maintain appropriate student behavior. Classes are definedas including laboratories, internships, field placements, or any settings that can bedesignated as a learning environment, such as travel studies and field trips.Consequently, if a student is considered to be threatening or disruptive in the classroom,behaves in a way that interferes with the learning of other students, or refuses to fulfill the


88 GRADUATE ACADEMIC POLICIES AND PROCEDURESacademic requirements of the course, the faculty member has the right to have thestudent who demonstrates such behavior removed from the class, either by administrativewithdrawal or by making arrangements for the student to complete the requirements inabsentia.The faculty member should immediately report the matter to the Dean and CampusDirector. Refer to student conduct code for hearing procedure.Grade Review PolicyFaculty/Instructors have the final authority in assigning student grades except for casesinvolving clear evidence of capricious grading or failure to follow the professionalstandards of a discipline or field. All requests for review of grade must be filed within 30days from the date that the grade was posted in WebAdvisor.Faculty/Instructors may change final grades after submission to the Registrar's Office onlyfor clerical error. Once a grade is submitted, additional work may not be assigned toenable the student to receive a higher grade.However, a student who believes he or she has received a grade that is capricious orbased on standards that are not in line with the professional standards of a discipline orfield must contact the faculty/instructor for an explanation of the grade and for possiblereconsideration.If, after meeting with the faculty/instructor, the grade dispute is not resolved, the studentmay submit a written request for review by the Dean. If the Dean finds merit in thestudent's request, the Dean will review the grade assignment with both the student andfaculty/instructor and determine the final grade. If necessary, the Dean will notify theOffice of the Registrar of a change in grade.At the end of Grade Review Process, each student has the right of an academic appeal.Appeal of the Dean's decision regarding grade review are made to the Vice Chancellor ofAcademic Affairs. Students must file their appeal with the Vice Chancellor of AcademicAffairs within 30 days after receipt of notification of the decision rendered by the Dean.The appeal must state the reasons for the request and provide evidence that the studenthas attempted to find remedy by discussing the matter with the faculty/instructor and theDean. Specific and credible evidence that a grade in the course may have been assignedcapriciously or outside the professional standards of a field or discipline must be provided.The decision of the Vice Chancellor of Academic Affairs is final and binding.


GRADUATE ACADEMIC POLICIES AND PROCEDURES 89Graduate Probation and DismissalAcademic ProbationThe following policy is <strong>Chapman</strong> <strong>University</strong> <strong>College</strong> guideline for satisfactory academicachievement in graduate programs. Some programs specify more stringent policies.Please refer to appropriate program section.A graduate student must maintain a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.0based on all coursework applicable to the graduate degree, excluding prerequisitecourses. A student whose cumulative GPA falls below 3.0 after two enrolled sessions willbe placed on probation. When placed on probation, a student must obtain a cumulativeGPA of 3.0 or higher at the end of the third enrolled session of probation status. Failure todo so may result in dismissal.Academic DismissalAny student on probation whose cumulative GPA has not reached at least a 3.0 at the endof the third enrolled session of probation status is subject to academic dismissal from theuniversity. The CUC Academic Standards Committee will review such cases and will makea recommendation to the Vice Chancellor of Academic Affairs. The decision of the ViceChancellor of Academic Affairs will be final and binding.The action of dismissal will be placed on the official transcript. A student who has beendismissed will be administratively withdrawn from the university and may not continuecoursework.Academic Probation and Dismissal policies are separate from and in addition to policiesgoverning dismissal for violating academic integrity or dismissal for inappropriate studentbehavior.Students seeking to be readmitted may do so after one year by petitioning the CUCAcademic Standards Committee. The CUC Academic Standards committee will reviewsuch cases and will make a recommendation to the Vice Chancellor of Academic Affairs.All students who return after academic dismissal will be placed in a probation status.(Veterans: see Veteran’s section of the catalog regarding academic probation anddismissal)PetitionsA petition is a request to waive an academic policy, procedure, or ruling.Students may file a petition to request an exception to a <strong>Chapman</strong> <strong>University</strong> <strong>College</strong>policy, procedure, or ruling.

The Vice Chancellor of Academic Affair's decision is final and binding.Comprehensive Examination1. Master’s degree candidates must pass a comprehensive examination if required bythe specific degree program. Students must be admitted to and active in the degreeprogram.2. Successful completion of coursework does not alone assure the candidate of passingthe comprehensive examination. This examination demonstrates the independentability of the student to synthesize and present adequate and appropriate knowledgewithout the focus of a course content outline or an instructor’s prompting. Thestudent must show the ability to cogently apply theory to a variety of situations andapplications. Program faculty and advisors do not “tutor” students regarding specificquestions on the examination either prior to or following the exam.3. Students must have achieved a cumulative GPA of 3.0 “B” and must meet specificprogram eligibility requirements to take the comprehensive examination.

A number of trends accelerating in the new century are increasing theneed and demand for organizational leadership. New advances technological, social, andpolitical are being unleashed at blinding rates of speed. Experts agree that theseadvances are causing a tidal wave of change, requiring organizations to continuouslyupdate and refine their approaches, structures and technologies to achieve ever greaterlevels of quality, effectiveness, efficiency and flexibility.The graduate program in organizational leadership features an award-winning approachwhich appreciates the leader’s challenge in these turbulent times. It is a state-of-the-artcurriculum in leadership theory and practice, providing education not only aboutleadership, but also for leadership. The master’s degree in organizational leadershipprepares students to take full advantage of leadership positions within their chosenorganizations, enabling them to make a powerful and positive difference in their world ofwork.Our focus in organizational leadership is on the development of the people andconceptual skills which are essential to success at all levels of administration. Throughour student-centered, largely “hands-on” approach to learning, participants inorganizational leadership have the opportunity to:• develop their capacity for reflective practice, generating ever deeper levels of insightand self-awareness regarding their specific capabilities and limitations as a leader;• develop the commitment and ability to marshal creatively and with integrity the forcesof human interdependence and diversity in organizations toward the articulation andattainment of common objectives;• learn how to inspire a clear, mutual vision, one which thoughtfully and respectfullyintegrates and aligns individual and organizational aspirations for sustainedperformance and continuous improvement;• learn how to apply systems thinking to critically and mindfully assess the currentreality in organizations;• explore new strategies for leading organizational change and development,approaches which emphasize congruent and ethical action, inclusionary practices,collaborative teamwork, and shared leadership.The program in organizational leadership is dedicated to the principles of “servantleadership” and facilitating organizational transformation within a values-centeredframework. The program is therefore best suited for mid-career professionals committed

166 GRADUATE DEGREE PROGRAMS5. To assess the student’s academic and psychological readiness, and personalsuitability to engage in the profession of marriage and family therapy/counseling;and6. To assess the student’s readiness to begin the practicum. Successfuladvancement to candidacy is a prerequisite to enrolling in practicum.Ethical and Professional StandardsSince the psychology graduate programs involve preparing people to work in the helpingprofession, the department assumes the responsibility for reasonably assuring thatindividuals who complete the program are not only academically competent but are awareof and capable of functioning within the established ethical and professional standards ofthe profession. A student in the psychology graduate programs must adhere to the ethicalstandards propounded by the relevant professional associations and should understandthat he/she is being trained in a program which is not only academic, but alsoprofessional in nature.The university has both the right and obligation to evaluate continually, and, ifnecessary, to terminate the student’s participation in the master’s program at anypoint for ethical violations and/or personal unsuitability for the profession. Thisphilosophy is consistent with that of most psychology graduate programs which areengaged in explicitly or implicitly certifying that their graduates are competent to engage inthe practice of professional counseling or psychotherapy.It is understood, therefore, that students will be required to maintain appropriateprofessional, ethical and personal standards in order to continue in the program. Facultywill assess each student’s status in meeting these standards on a continuing basis, andstudents experiencing difficulties will be advised as to appropriate means of remediatingsuch difficulties by the faculty/advisor. If resolution cannot be achieved, the student willbe terminated from the program. Compendia of the ethical standards are available fromthe American Psychological Association, the American Association for Marriage and FamilyTherapy and the California Association of Marriage and Family Therapists.Personal TherapyThe psychology faculty believes that participating as a client in individual or group therapyis an important educational aspect of a program to prepare mental health professionals.Experience as a client in personal therapy is, therefore, one of the program requirementsfor the marriage and family therapy emphasis. The requirement is met through a minimumof 20 sessions of individual or group therapy conducted by a licensed marriage and familytherapist, licensed clinical social worker, licensed clinical psychologist, board-eligiblepsychiatrist, or mental health worker of equivalent status. Verification will consist of aletter by the therapist (on the therapist’s letterhead) or an official psychotherapy formfrom the state in which the student is registered stating the time spent in therapy, sentdirectly to the <strong>University</strong> <strong>College</strong> campus. This verification must be on file at the time thestudent applies for graduation.Additional personal therapy may at any time be recommended by the department for thestudent to continue in the program. Commencement of therapy or recommendation ofadditional therapy may be a stipulation or condition at the time of a student’s screening oradvancement to candidacy interview. The student has the right to choose his/her owntherapist for this requirement within the limitations of ethical standards prohibiting dualrelationships and the criteria of the paragraph above.
