School of Professional Studies - William Jessup University

Double Major
2010-2011
Additional Major, Minor, or Certificate
Students may not work toward two degrees simultaneously at the University. However, students who choose to complete two
majors, each offered by a different department, must complete the requirements of both programs. Students must decide which
of the two majors will be their primary major. Students retain their advisor for the primary major, but also meet with an advisor of
their choice in the department sponsoring the second major.
The college prints both majors on the transcript and awards only one Bachelor’s Degree.
Second Bachelor Degree
Under revision for Fall 2010. Please return to the website or contact the office of the Registrar for current status.
Attendance Policy – SPS
Due to the accelerated nature of the SPS courses, the program practices a 100% attendance policy. Consistent class attendance is
mandatory for students. Students who miss one class of a five-week course are expected to make up the class by completing an
assignment (usually a 10-12 page paper) that relates directly to the discussion covered in the missed class. The session make-up
must be completed and submitted to the instructor no later than two (2) weeks after the last class session for the course. Failure
to make up the absence will result in a grade reduction. This paper is in addition to the original homework assignment that must
also be completed.
SPS Petition for Reinstatement after Second Absence
If there are extreme and extenuating circumstances, beyond the control of the student, that necessitate a second absence, a
student may petition the automatic U/F received after the second absence. A Second Absence Petition for Reinstatement in
Course must be completed and filed within 48 hours of the second absence. In such a case, the SPS Academic Committee will
review the petition in order to determine:
1) the nature and reason for both absences,
2) whether the student has had a previous request during their academic career of a similar nature,
3) the overall academic performance of the student with no other late work outstanding,
4) whether the absence warrants special accommodation, and
5) what that accommodation should be, given the circumstances.
In most cases, if such an accommodation is granted, the student will be required to meet with the instructor for a make-up study
session to go over the material they missed. In this event, a fee will be charged to cover the cost of the make-up session.
Final Examinations – Traditional Students
The University requires an examination to be given at the end of the semester in all courses.
Change in Final Examinations – Traditional Students
The university requires an examination be given at the end of the semester in all courses at the time specified in the exam schedule.
Examinations may not be changed for sake of convenience. For legitimate reasons, students may petition a change in time. Vacation
and travel plans are not acceptable reasons.
Application for Graduation
Certain basic requirements in general education and in Bible and Theology must be completed by all enrolled regular undergraduate
students, in addition to the specific courses required by individual departments. Chapel and Service requirements must be met
according to policy found under Student Life. For the requirements in degree and certificate programs, see the “Degree and Certificate
