HISTORY
ACCREDITATIONS AND MEMBERSHIPS
History
The idea of establishing a state college in the Valdosta area
originated with local citizenry. State representative C. R. Ashley
and State Senator William S. West presented bills proposing the
establishment of a college in Valdosta to the House of
Representatives and the Senate, respectively, in 1906. By an act
of the Georgia State Legislature in 1906, the establishment of an
agricultural, industrial, and normal college in South Georgia, as
a branch of the University of Georgia, was approved.
The institution was named the South Georgia State Normal
College for young ladies in 1913. All functions of the college were
located in one building, Converse Hall. The state approved operating
budget for the first year was $50,000. In the initial quarter of
operation, the college had two chief administrators (Dr. R. H. Powell,
President, and J. M. Guilliam, Superintendent of the Training
School), ten faculty members, a matron, a secretary and bookkeeper.
An act of legislature in 1922 changed the name to Georgia State
Woman's College and authorized a four-year program leading to the
bachelor's degree. The Board of Regents made the College coeducational
in 1950 and changed the name to Valdosta State
College. Valdosta State College became a Regional University
within the University System of Georgia on July 1, 1993. In 1998
Valdosta State University began operating on the semester system.

Gross Area = The sum of all areas on all floors of a building included within the outside faces of its exterior walls, including floor
penetration areas, however insignificant, for circulation and shaft areas that connect one floor to another.
(Note: Gross Area was further defined by the Board of Regents as being from one drip edge of a building to the other,
because the roof must also be maintained.)
Assignable Area = The sum of all areas on all floors of a building assigned to, or available for assignment to, an occupant or specific use.
Circulation Area = The sum of all areas on all floors of a building required for physical access to some subdivision of space, whether physically
bounded by partitions or not.
Mechanical Area = The sum of all areas on all floors of a building used for public restrooms and designed to house mechanical equipment,
utility services, and shaft areas.
Construction Area = The sum of all areas on all floors of a building that cannot be occupied or put to use because of structural building features.
Custodial Area = The sum of all areas on all floors of a building used for custodial supplies, sink rooms, and janitorial closets.
Net Usable Area = The sum of all areas on all floors of a building either assigned to, or available for assignment to, an occupant or specific use,
or necessary for the general operation of a building.

*Actual credit hours obtained from the Quarterly/Semester Enrollment Analysis, prepared by the Office of the Registrar and the Computer Center of VSU.
Includes Summer Quarter 1998, Fall Semester 1998, Spring Semester 1999, and Summer Semester 1999.
**Converted credit hours obtained by multiplying the actual Fall 1998, Spring 1999 and Summer 1999 Semester credit hours by 3/2 to have equivalent quarter credit hours.
***Converted faculty positions earned obtained by using the base formula and the converted credit hours.
Note: 15 hr/wk and 12 hr/wk formulas (found on page 33) are the most current formulas to determine Faculty Positions Earned using semester hours.
NOTE: Totals may vary from previous Fact Books due to rearrangement of departments
NOTE: Differences between Credit hour Production and Faculty Positions Earned and Detailed Credit Hours and Faculty Positions
Earned on the following table are due to rounding.

The Base Formula is used to determine Faculty Positions Earned under the quarter system. The 15 hour/week Formula is used to
determine Faculty Positions Earned under the semester system, assuming the professors will teach an average of 15 hours per week.
The 12 hour/week Formula is used to determine Faculty Positions Earned under the semester system, assuming the professors will
teach an average of 12 hours per week.
NOTE: The University System operates under a formula funding system. The formula
serves as a basis for requesting funding from the Legislature only and is not used to allocate
money to the various institutions.
NOTE: Differences between Credit hour Production and Faculty Positions Earned and Detailed Credit Hours and Faculty Positions
Earned on the previous table are due to rounding.

COMPUTER FACILITIES
The university operates a variety of sophisticated, state-of-the art
computing and networking facilities to support its academic,
research and administrative activities. The facilities include several
powerful UNIX-based central servers, 2800 microcomputers,
65 high-end workstations and 40-45 distributed file servers running
Novell Netware or Microsoft NT, all of which are interconnected
via a high speed data network.
Located in the Computer Center in Nevins Hall, three Hewlett
Packard (HP) 9000 large scale business servers, Models G50, G70,
and K460 support all student and financial related processing, as
well as various other applications software systems. To meet
VSU's increasing requirements, these three computers together
comprise a total systems environment that provides one of the
largest and most modern centers in the University System. VSU has
a very complete implementation of the fourth-generation Banner
Student Information and Financial Aid Systems which greatly
enhance student support operations such as admissions, registration,
advising and financial aid processing. Student registration
and general access to their data can be easily accomplished via the
Web, the Campus Pipeline "portal" and/or the EPOS Integrated
Voice Response System. A new state-of-the-art Business and
Financial Software System from Peoplesoft Corporation, also
centrally procured by the Board of Regents, is also implemented.
Housed in the Data Communications Center in Ashley Hall, a Sun
Ultra Enterprise 3000 provides electronic mail services for the
students, faculty and staff and DS1/DS3 circuit access to the statewide
PeachNet and other national/international networks. Two
Sun Enterprise 450's support video streaming and LDAP, Portal
and WebCT services. A Sun Server E420R supports VSU's
popular and heavily utilized Web site and it's thousands of pages.
A Sun SparcServer 1000E provides Boot-P, Listserv, and other
similar services. A second Sun SparcServer 1000E operates as a

specialized applications server for several academic departments
with software products such as, MathLab, GIS, C++, LISP, and
others. A third Sun SparcServer 1000 performs as the main name
server for the campus, allowing VSU to be 'registered' with Internet
and utilize the short address of valdosta.edu.
A very extensive and sophisticated fiber-optic based data network,
with its central hub of bridges and routers located in Pine Hall (the
Old Plant Operations building), provides Ethernet/Fast Ethernet
protocol (10/100 MBps) and very high-speed Gigabit/ATM communications
between all servers and microcomputers. The 20 miles of
fiber and 60 miles of copper wire connects the main campus buildings,
as well as two on North Campus, the VSU Regional Center for
Continuing Education and ten buildings adjacent to the main campus.
As another 'first' in the University System, a wireless communications
network, HallNet, has been implemented to provide Internet
access at 11 Mbps in the Residence Halls, Library, and new Biology/
Chemistry Building. Additional remote dial-in modem access is
supported, as well as outside access via PeachNet to the internet.
Microcomputers are provided to every faculty member and all staff
in administrative offices. A total of 800 microcomputers are
available to students in 28 labs, with 10-50 machines each, located
throughout the campus. A special-purpose AutoCAD Lab running
WinNT computers for VSU's pre-engineering program is in Nevins
Hall. Two labs are installed at Kings Bay Naval Base to support
VSU operations at that location. All machines have the campus
standard software installed - Microsoft Office Pro (Word, Excel,
Power Point, Access) and all communications/e-mail products
(Netscape, Eudora, and other). Various microcomputer servers,
Sun and Silicon Graphics high-end workstations, local networks
and other facilities are located in the colleges and administrative
offices to provide additional support to students, faculty, and staff.
The Library operates a DEC 4200 minicomputer, a Sun SparcServer
1000, a student micro lab, 35 Galileo work stations and 60 personal
computers to support their operations.
