Southern New Hampshire University 2013-2014 University College Undergraduate Catalog Published August 1, 2013 2013-2014 University College Undergraduate Catalog Southern New Hampshire University 1 Welcome to Southern New Hampshire University Message from the President It gives me great pleasure to present to you the Southern New Hampshire University catalogs. A university catalog offers a comprehensive overview of the variety of programs and classes offered both on campus and online. I’m particularly excited to present this year’s editions to you as they represent the first time that we have moved to a new electronic catalog management system which contains information about our history and mission, our services and outreach, our facilities and the many opportunities we provide students for meeting their life and career goals as well as a new mobile app. It’s certainly an exciting time to be a student at SNHU. This year, Fast Company named us the 12 th most innovative organization in the world in its World’s 50 Most Innovative Companies. We ranked with such heavy-hitters as Apple, Google and HBO and were listed ahead of such industry giants as the National Football League, Starbucks and LinkedIn. We achieved such accolades on the basis of our Center for Online and Continuing Education which is now the largest online-degree provider in New England as well as for carrying out our core mission of providing access. One great example is our campus-based College Unbound program which connects a dozen first-generation students, drawn largely from the Big Picture network of charter schools, to design their own learning plans around internships, spending as much time in the world as in class and earning their bachelor’s degree in just three years. In addition, we are currently in the midst of a project to build a new Library/Learning Commons which will create a vibrant learning space on campus which will not only house the library but also media services, instructional support, IT help desk, faculty development and The Learning Center. A new 300 bed dorm is also in the construction phase. SNHU continues to give you more options to complete your degree than almost any other institution. You can blend traditional on-campus courses with wholly online courses or take a mix in one of our hybrid courses. With a number of centers besides the main campus, you can access courses in a place most convenient to home or work and at a competitive cost. We welcome you to explore all that we have to offer. We think that you’ll find us to be an exciting institution that is dedicated to helping you make the most of your potential and committed to providing the types of programs that make all of your career aspirations possible. Best wishes and we hope that you can be part of the excitement of an SNHU education soon! Sincerely, Paul J.

Every effort was made to ensure accuracy at the time of publication; the various staff and faculty members listed herein will do their best to answer questions. Students have the responsibility to become familiar with these policies and processes as they pursue their educational goals. The students, administration, faculty and staff have the mutual responsibility of bringing the words to life by making the learning experiences as pleasant and productive as possible. The university reserves the right to change any part of it and to make any changes retroactive for students currently enrolled. Mission Southern New Hampshire University educates intellectually and culturally enriched individuals to be successful in their careers and contribute to their communities.

Shapiro as the New Hampshire School of Accounting and Secretarial Science. The school remained relatively small until 1961, when it was incorporated and renamed New Hampshire College of Accounting and Commerce. The state of New Hampshire in 1963 granted the university its charter, which gave it degree-granting authority. The first associate degrees were awarded that year, and the first bachelor’s degrees were conferred three years later. The college became a nonprofit institution under a board of trustees in September 1968, and the name was shortened to New Hampshire College in 1969. During the ’60s the college opened off-campus centers to better serve adult learners. Programs today are offered in Manchester, Nashua, Portsmouth and Salem, N.H., and in Brunswick, Maine, as well as internationally through such schools as HELP International College of Technology (HICT) in Malaysia. The 1970s were a time of growth and change. The college moved from its downtown Manchester site to the now 300-acre campus on the Merrimack River in 1971. In 1974, the college introduced a Master of Business Administration program, and, in 1978, assumed human services degree programs. In the spring of 1981, the General Court of New Hampshire authorized New Hampshire College to award the Master of Human Services degree and the Master of Science degree in business-related subjects. That same year, to accommodate the two new rapidly expanding programs, the university purchased the former Mount Saint Mary College in Hooksett, which served as the “north campus” for many years. Operations have since been reconsolidated on the main campus. In 1988, the human services programs were transferred to Springfield College in Springfield, Mass. The college continued to expand academic offerings throughout the 1980s and 1990s. Community economic development was first offered in 1982 and the Culinary Arts Program was established in 1983. New liberal arts and education majors were added in the early 1990s and in the last several years. The one-of-a-kind 3Year Honors Program in Business Administration was launched in 1997. Academic offerings again expanded in 1998 to include the Ph.D. in community economic development and the Doctor of Business Administration. The university extended its reach worldwide with the launching of its Internet-based distance learning program, SNHU Online, in 1995. A wave of campus expansion began in 1996 with the construction of a new residence hall; Robert Frost Hall, which houses the museum-quality McIninch Art Gallery; the Hospitality Center, home to the student-run restaurant and culinary programs; and Belknap Hall, now home to the Institute for Language Education, Public Safety, the School of Education and several university offices, including the Office of Undergraduate Admission. Construction continued with the building of a new academic center, Webster Hall, which houses the Trading Room, a simulated stock trading room. New residence halls were built on the west and east sides of campus. All classrooms and halls are wireless. Expansion and program development led to a momentous event in the institution’s history in 2001, when New Hampshire College became Southern New Hampshire University. Several new degrees were added in the 2000s, including specialized M.B.A. degrees, the M.F.A. in fiction and nonfiction writing, game design and development, Master of Education programs and many more. In 2007, SNHU became the first carbon-neutral university in New Hampshire. During the 2009-2010 school year, the university opened a new academic building, which features new classrooms, student lounge and study areas, and a café, and a new dining hall. Both energy-efficient buildings were designed with sustainability in mind. Southern New Hampshire University 2013-2014 University College Undergraduate Catalog 18 Today the university has three schools—the School of Business, the School of Education and the School of Arts and Sciences— as well as the College of Online and Continuing Education, and continues to seek new ways to provide quality educational programs for all of our constituents, both in the U.S. and abroad. Goals of the University Instructors, students and administrators recognize and subscribe to the mission of the university. In addition, the undergraduate programs have the following specific, supporting goals: ? Offer a quality curriculum that enables students to enter the professional world, or that enable those already established to enhance, advance or change their careers. ? Teach and inquire into the foundation for important truths, principles, ideas, facts and performance methods, so that students can make significant contributions to their chosen fields. ? Provide challenging courses of study, encouraging students to become life-long learners, critical thinkers and problem solvers, who can adapt creatively and appropriately to all situations, structured or unstructured. ? Help students to understand themselves, society and different cultures, so that they can participate effectively in the changing world around them. ? Encourage students to identify the personal qualities and ideals which will enable them to function ethically and responsibly. ? Ensure that students speak and write clearly and accurately, use computers efficiently and employ library resources effectively. To achieve these goals, the faculty is committed to the art of teaching, scholarship and service. Southern New Hampshire University emphasizes that we learn in different ways, that learning occurs both inside and outside of the classroom, and that learning takes place only if an individual successfully integrates the intellectual, social, and emotional aspects of his or her development, and strives to stimulate critical thought and inquiry in the classroom. Teaching is primary at Southern New Hampshire University. The SNHU Community At Southern New Hampshire University, we believe there are no limits to what our students can achieve.

Students may choose certification in mathematics education for grades 5-8 or middle level science education for grades 5-9. These certifications capitalize on students’ love of mathematics or science and prepare them to teach in a middle school environment. Each program provides students with knowledge of theory and practice along with significant field experience and student teaching in their senior year. Graduates in middle school mathematics or science education are ready professionals with the passion and skills to make a difference in today’s middle schools. Secondary Education Programs The Secondary Education Programs leads to teaching certification for grades 5-12. Students may choose certification in English education or in social studies education with a concentration in either history or political science. These certification programs capitalize on students’ love of English or social studies and prepare them to teach in a middle or high school environment. Each program provides graduates with knowledge of theory and practice along with significant field experience and student teaching in their senior year. Students in this program examine traditional, innovative and research-based approaches to teaching English or social studies. Graduates in English education or social studies education are ready professionals with the passion and skills to make a difference in today’s secondary schools. Double Major for Secondary Teacher Certification Secondary Education majors may also declare an additional major. This unique opportunity combines the interest and passion of students who want to pursue study in English or history and become certified teachers. Successful completion of a course of English or history studies, together with courses in education, qualifies the student for a double major that demonstrates deep understanding of English or history while meeting all State requirements for teacher certification. Requirements for both double-majors are accomplished with additional credits (129 total credits). Courses are sequenced leading to a capstone student teaching experience in the senior year. Students who acquire these majors are marketable candidates for teaching positions in grades 5-12. Programs Leading to New Hampshire State Certification The Master of Education programs have been created for college graduates with a degree in another discipline who wish to become certified teachers. Graduates earn a master’s degree and teaching certification in early childhood education, elementary education, English for speakers of other languages, secondary education (English, Social Studies and Business Education), special education or technology integration specialist. Prior to acceptance to a teacher certification program, a candidate’s undergraduate transcripts are evaluated to determine if general education standards were met in their undergraduate program (Ed 609 NH State Competencies for Teacher Preparation). Students must fulfill unmet standards as they complete their program. Students who are accepted to one of the Master of Education programs leading to initial certification will subsequently apply to the School of Education Teacher Certification Program (TCP) sometime during their first 4 classes. At that time they will be required to submit passing Praxis I scores, recommendations from SNHU instructors, and a writing sample. Once accepted into TCP, students must pass the Praxis II in their chosen subject area and complete the student teaching application process which then leads to the placement of students in their student teaching assignments. The initial certification masters programs culminate in a 16-week student teaching practicum and corresponding seminar. This valuable experience requires that teacher candidates intern full-time under the direct supervision of a cooperating teacher. During this 2013-2014 University College Undergraduate Catalog Southern New Hampshire University 23 placement, the student teacher gradually takes on the role of the classroom teacher. All coursework must be complete prior to beginning the student teaching placement. These certifications can be obtained independently or as part of a Masters degree. Field Experiences The School of Education believes that the theories and methods discussed in the college classroom are best understood in concert with practical experiences. The New Hampshire Department of Education requires that students participate in relevant and varied field experiences. Therefore, participation in applied learning situations is a required component of many DEV, EDU and SPED courses. Student records will be evaluated to confirm all field experience requirements have been met upon applying to student teaching. Conversion Programs These programs are designed for college graduates seeking teaching certification. After a thorough transcript review, the student completes only the courses needed to fulfill the New Hampshire State Standards for teacher certification, including supervised student teaching. The number of credits required for certification varies according to the applicant's background. The program does not lead to a degree. Additional Certification for Certified Teachers Certified teachers can pursue additional endorsements in any of the certification areas offered through the School of Education. The certification requirements will be determined by a transcript review and can be completed as a prescribed sequence of courses or as part of the M.Ed. in Curriculum and Instruction. ? 5Year Elementary Education, M.A.T. ? 5Year English, M.A.T. ? 5Year Special Education, M.A.T. ?

Students who complete the General Education program will also acquire the tools to become independent thinkers and lifelong learners who are able to make informed moral and ethical decisions. The General Education Program is spread across all four years of study. The program is made up of three interrelated components: Foundation Courses that are primarily skills-based; Exploration Courses that require students to explore courses in fine arts and humanities, social and behavioral sciences, as well as in science, technology, and mathematics; and Integration Courses in which students choose three courses from one theme-based cluster and through that cluster of courses, study one critical theme closely from a variety of interdisciplinary perspectives. **Please refer to your Program Plan or your Academic Advisor for specific course information.** The General Education Curriculum: (45 credits) Foundation Course Area: (12 credits) English (FENG) Students are required to complete two (2) composition courses. Mathematics (FMAT) Students are required to complete one (1) math course. SNHU Experience (FSNH) Students are required to complete three (3) credits of SNHU Experience. UC students fulfill the SNHU experience requirement by taking SNHU 101 or SNHU 202 and SNHU 303 and SNHU 404 - worth one credit each. COCE students entering as a freshman (less than 12 transfer credits) must fulfill the SNHU experience requirement by taking three credits of SNHU 107. All other COCE students with 12 or more transfer credits may substitute with a FREE ELECTIVE. Exploration Course Area: (24 credits) These requirements focus on students’ development of knowledge of human cultures and the physical and natural world. This area requires students to explore courses in various disciplines. Students must take at least one 100-, 200-, and 300-level Exploration Course. Students will be required to develop their skills by completing a 100-level course before taking a 200-level course; by completing a 200-level course before taking a 300-level course; and by completing a 300-level course before taking a 400-level course. Courses taken as Exploration Courses may not also count as Major Courses. Southern New Hampshire University 2013-2014 University College Undergraduate Catalog 30 Fine Arts and Humanities (EFAH) Students choose two (2) courses in different discipline areas. FAS; HIS; LIT; or PHL Social and Behavioral Sciences (ESBS) Students choose two (2) courses in different discipline areas. ATH/SOC/SCS; ECO; POL; or PSY Science, Technology, and Mathematics (ESTM) Students choose two (2) courses in different discipline areas. BIO; SCI; IT; or MAT General Education Electives (EGED) Students choose two (2) additional General Education Electives from the Exploration area. UC Integration: (9 credits) These clusters are interdisciplinary, thematically-linked courses. Students are required to take three courses within a cluster. Students must select cluster courses from at least two different disciplines within the cluster. Courses taken as Integration Courses may not also count as Major Courses. University College Students: Choose three (3) courses within one (1) cluster. America (IAME) How has the idea of America changed since its foundation? How do Americans perceive themselves? How is American society and culture perceived by others? Diversity (IDIV) How do you classify yourself? Others? How do categorizations impact diverse communities? Ethics (IETH) What is right and wrong? Good and bad? How do we know? Global Culture (IGCU) Are we one world culture, or many? How are cultures represented through the arts? Students who choose this cluster must take at least one (1) World Language course. Global Society (IGSO) How do individuals and societies impact each other in the global arena? What will the global community look like in the future? I, Robot (IIRO) Do we control machines, or do they control us? What is the relationship between humans, machines, and morality? What does the future of technology look like? 2013-2014 University College Undergraduate Catalog Southern New Hampshire University 31 Popular Culture (IPOC) What defines popular culture? What influences popular culture in a society? How does popular culture impact the way we interact and communicate with one another? Wellness (IWEL) How do you define wellness? What factors affect health? COCE Integration: (9 credits) A graduate of SNHU is expected to integrate general and discipline-based knowledge, apply this knowledge in and beyond the classroom, and reflect upon these experiences. College of Online and Continuing Education Students: Choose one (1) seminar course below, plus two (2) courses from the Exploration area or complete nine credits of one of the Integration clusters. Diversity (IDIV) Global Society (IGSO) Wellness (IWEL) Preparing for the Future (PFTF) Student Choice Schools and programs may not designate which courses students should take to fulfill core requirements, with two exceptions. The second Mathematics course, and two of the four Social and Behavioral Science courses, can be set by the School (Business, Education or Liberal Arts*) or if not dictated by the School can be set by a specific program within the school. *Programs specific to COCE may have dictated courses in these areas. Major Courses Each university program requires that students select a specific related major and take courses worth up to 33 credits in that major. The record of the university alumni’s success in specialized areas results in major course offerings that provide students the knowledge and skills to enter focused careers upon graduation. Some of the major credits may be designated for an internship experience. The credit-bearing Internship program allows students to apply the theories and practice the skills learned in the classroom in an actual work experience. Southern New Hampshire University 2013-2014 University College Undergraduate Catalog 32 Allied Courses and Free Electives Bachelor’s degree students will have an opportunity to select free electives that they and their advisors believe best meet their individual needs. Some students may select courses that comprise a minor area of studies, while others may use some of their elective credits for Internships experiences. Still others may opt to take additional advanced courses in areas of business or the liberal arts. Some majors require that students take allied courses outside of their major areas to provide them with a stronger foundation for their chosen careers.

Literature Electives Only courses with the course prefix LIT may be used as literature electives. 2013-2014 University College Undergraduate Catalog Southern New Hampshire University 33 Special Topics Courses Special topics courses may be offered on a one-time basis in any discipline during any semester or session. Special topics courses will be numbered with the subject area, the level of the course, and ST (special topics) for the course listing prefix. Example: ACC 2ST1 is a 200 level accounting special topics course. Southern New Hampshire University 2013-2014 University College Undergraduate Catalog 34 Undergraduate Policies Notification of Rights under FERPA The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) affords students certain rights with respect to their education records. These rights include: (1) The right to inspect and review the student's education records within 45 days of the day the University receives a request for access. A student should submit to the university registrar, dean, head of the academic department, or other appropriate official, a written request that identifies the record(s) the student wishes to inspect. The University official will make arrangements for access and notify the student of the time and place where the records may be inspected. If the records are not maintained by the University official to whom the request was submitted, that official shall advise the student of the correct official to whom the request should be addressed. (2) The right to request the amendment of the student’s education records that the student believes are inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise in violation of the student’s privacy rights under FERPA. A student who wishes to ask the University to amend a record should write the University official responsible for the record, clearly identify the part of the record the student wants changed, and specify why it should be changed. If the University decides not to amend the record as requested, the University will notify the student in writing of the decision and the student’s right to a hearing regarding the request for amendment. Additional information regarding the hearing procedures will be provided to the student when notified of the right to a hearing. (3) The right to provide written consent before the University discloses personally identifiable information from the student's education records, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent. The University discloses education records without a student’s prior written consent under the FERPA exception for disclosure to school officials with legitimate educational interests. A school official is a person employed by the University in an administrative, supervisory, academic or research, or support staff position (including law enforcement unit personnel and health staff); a person or company with whom the University has contracted as its agent to provide a service instead of using University employees or officials (such as an attorney, auditor, or collection agent); a person serving on the Board of Trustees; or a student serving on an official committee, such as a disciplinary or grievance committee, or assisting another school official in performing his or her tasks. A school official has a legitimate educational interest if the official needs to review an education record in order to fulfill his or her professional responsibilities for the University. (4) The right to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education concerning alleged failures by the University to comply with the requirements of FERPA. The name and address of the Office that administers FERPA is: Family Policy Compliance Office U.S. Department of Education 400 Maryland Avenue, SW Washington, DC 20202-5901 2013-2014 University College Undergraduate Catalog Southern New Hampshire University 35 Academic Program Guidelines There are guidelines for programs at the university for the specified components of the Undergraduate Curriculum. Schools/Departments may propose programs which vary from these guidelines with explanation. Associates Degree Includes a minimum of 60 credit hours, including the associates Core.** B.A./B.S. - Major Includes a minimum of 30 credits beyond the university undergraduate core and the school core. Concentration/Specialization This must be part of the declared B.A./B.S. major, and includes at least 9 credits of focused courses within the discipline. Minor Must accompany a B.A./B.S. major and includes a minimum of 15 credits; 9 of which must be beyond the major, university undergraduate core, and the school core. Certificate This is a "stand alone" certificate and includes a minimum of 12 credits within a discipline. **Associates Core The Associates Core includes the skill courses, including: ENG 120, ENG 121, IT 100, COM 212, MAT 130, and one Social Science course. Guidelines for Certificate Programs Prior Credits Students may transfer credits from other accredited institutions for courses in which a minimum grade of "C-" was earned. Official transcripts should be submitted for analysis prior to entering the certificate program. Students also may receive credit for equivalent prior learning by means of "CLEP", Southern New Hampshire University institutional tests or portfolio assessments. Students should consult an academic advisor for more details. Southern New Hampshire University 2013-2014 University College Undergraduate Catalog 36 Note: Certificate candidates may use transfer or prior learning credit courses, but they must take four courses in residence at Southern New Hampshire University. Prerequisites Various certificate courses require preparatory background. When waived for certificate candidates with appropriate work experience, prerequisite courses still remain as requirements for degree candidates (but may be satisfied by transfer- or prior- credit awards). Time Limits Most certificate programs are scheduled so that concentration courses can be completed within one year, but students are free to set their own paces. Satisfactory Performance A student must maintain a minimum cumulative grade-point average of "C" (2.0 on a 4-point scale) to receive a certificate. Grades and Grading Grades Undergraduate day students have the privilege of receiving their course grade averages prior to final exams and discussing their grades with their instructors. To do this, a student must request an appointment with the instructor at least two weeks prior to the first day of final exams. Grades will not be released over the telephone or over fax lines. Grade Changes Instructors are responsible for all grade changes. Concerns about incompletes, make-ups and grades should be directed to them. 2013-2014 University College Undergraduate Catalog Southern New Hampshire University 37 Grading System In determining grades at the university, the following grade system is used: Common Grading Scales: UC-COCE Undergraduate Grading Scales: Grade Numerical Equivalent Points A 93-100 4.00 A- 90-92 3.67 B+ 87-89 3.33 B 83-86 3.00 B- 80-82 2.67 C+ 77-79 2.33 C 73-76 2.00 C- 70-72 1.67 D+ 67-69 1.33 D 60-66 1.00 F 0-59 0.00 Audit AU Credit CR Incomplete I Incomplete/Failure IF In Progress IP In Progress Transfer IPT Mastery MA Non-course work NC Non-graded NG Academic Renewal R Satisfactory S Transfer Credit T Unsatisfactory U Withdraw W Withdraw Passing WP Withdraw Failing WF Southern New Hampshire University 2013-2014 University College Undergraduate Catalog 38 The grade-point average (GPA) is determined by dividing the sum of the quality points (QP) by the sum of the attempted credit hours (CR). An example of a student’s grades and grade-point average is as follows: ENG 120 3 Credits x A(4)= 12 QP MAT 240 3 Credits x B(3)= 9 QP MKT 113 3 credits x C(2)= 6 QP PSY 108 3 Credits x D(1)= 3 QP IT 100 3 Credits x F(0)= 0 QP 15 30 QP 30 QP divided by 15 CR = 2.00 GPA Incompletes Faculty may give a student a grade of incomplete (“I”) in a course. Any student requesting an “I” grade must complete a Student Petition & Contract for a Grade of Incomplete and submit it prior to the final day of the term/semester. The petition will specify a deadline by which the course work must be completed. If an instructor accepts student work after the deadline, and wishes to change a grade of “IF” to a letter grade, such a change requires the instructor’s rationale documenting significant extenuating circumstances and the written approval of the Dean under whose aegis the course was offered. Audit An undergraduate day student wishing to audit a course must sign up for that course as an audit prior to the end of the add/drop period. Once the add/drop period has passed, no student may change any of his or her courses to an audit status. Tuition is charged at the prevailing rate. Additionally, a student may not convert back to graded status after registering to audit. Scholastic Standing Committee: Academic Suspensions, Scholastic Warnings, and related procedures At the end of each semester and at any other time deemed appropriate, the Undergraduate Scholastic Standing Committee will review the records of all students whose cumulative or semester grade point average is below 2.0. At the Committee’s discretion, possible outcomes include: Scholastic Warning, Continued Scholastic Warning, Academic Suspension or Academic Dismissal. If allowed to remain at SNHU, students having academic difficulty will be referred to the appropriate academic support services. Students placed on Academic Suspension may appeal the decision to the Committee; Academic Dismissal, however, is considered final and no appeal is allowed. Appeal Process for Academic Suspension Students will be sent a certified letter from the chair of the committee outlining the appeal process. If a student chooses to appeal the decision made by the scholastic standing committee, the appeal must be submitted in writing by the date indicated in the certified letter to the address/email of record. Failure to receive certified letter does not invalidate the suspension. Appeals should include a detailed description of why unsatisfactory grades were received. It should also include a plan for improvement should the student be given the opportunity to return to the university. 2013-2014 University College Undergraduate Catalog Southern New Hampshire University 39 If the appeal is granted, the student may be subject to conditions set by the committee. If the appeal is not granted, the student may re-appeal at a later date, after providing evidence that he/she is capable of college-level work (perhaps by providing transcripts from other colleges), and has the level of motivation, maturity, responsibility, and commitment necessary to succeed. Students are notified of the results of the appeal hearing by mail and SNHU email. Academic Review/Scholastic Warning At the end of each semester and at any other time deemed appropriate, the Undergraduate Scholastic Standing Committee will review the records of all students whose cumulative or semester grade point average is below 2.0. At the Committee’s discretion, possible outcomes include: Scholastic Warning, Continued Scholastic Warning, Academic Suspension or Academic Dismissal. If allowed to return the following semester, students having academic difficulty will be referred to the appropriate office(s) for support services. Students placed on Academic Suspension may appeal the decision to the Committee; Academic Dismissal, however, is considered final and no appeal is allowed. Readmission Students suspended from Southern New Hampshire University for academic causes may petition to be readmitted when evidence can be presented that indicates university work can be successfully resumed. Ordinarily, suspension shall be for not fewer than two semesters. Any students readmitted to the university are subject to the requirements associated with the catalog year of reentry. Academic Renewal Students who change majors/programs or withdraw and return may apply for academic renewal. This allows students to be considered as transferring from another institution. All academic regulations are the same as those for transfer students. The following restrictions are imposed: ? It must be approved by the Scholastic Standing Committee. ? It may be granted only once to a student after at least a one-year absence. ? A new grade-point average is started. ? A minimum of 30 credits must be completed at Southern New Hampshire University after renewal is granted. ? When students are granted academic renewal, any grade below a “C” appearing on their transcripts will have an "R" precede the original grade (i.e. "RC-" will appear for a course eligible for academic Renewal with a final grade of "C-", "RD" will appear for a course eligible for Academic Renewal with a final grade of "D", etc.). ? Courses so designated will be eliminated from the student’s GPA and will not earn credit toward graduation. ? Any grade of “C” or better appearing on their transcripts will be included in the student’s GPA and will earn credit toward graduation. Note: Academic renewal does not change suspension from financial aid. Repeating Courses Students may repeat courses for credit. Students who fail courses will want or need to repeat the same courses at Southern New Hampshire University. In such instances, the first course grade will not be computed into the total grade-point average (GPA); instead, the most recent course grade will be used. All prior grades will appear on students’ transcripts. Southern New Hampshire University 2013-2014 University College Undergraduate Catalog 40 Transcript Request Except as provided by the Federal Family Education Rights and Privacy Act and in instances in which a student consents to release his or her transcript to another party, the Office of the University Registrar will not furnish a transcript to any person other than to the person identified by name on the transcript. Transcripts will not be furnished to students or former students whose financial obligations to the university have not been satisfied.

Activities such as plagiarism and cheating will not be condoned by the university. Students involved in such activities are subject to serious disciplinary action. This may include receiving a failing grade for the assignment or course, academic suspension or expulsion from the university. Purpose of the Honor Code To emphasize the university’s commitment to academic integrity, it has established a university-wide Honor Code. The purpose of this Honor Code is to encourage and maintain academic integrity at Southern New Hampshire University by adhering to the five fundamental values identified by the Center for Academic Integrity: honesty, trust, fairness, respect, and responsibility. This Code incorporates as a part hereof, the SNHU Honor Code Procedures for the Undergraduate Day School and the penalties for violation of this Code contained therein. The procedures and penalties may be revised from time to time. Definitions of Academic Dishonesty Under the university’s Honor Code, academic dishonesty is defined as: Cheating The unauthorized use of notes, textbooks, oral, visual, or electronic communication, or other aids during an exam, quiz, or other related course assignment. The copying of the work of another student during an exam, quiz, or other related course assignment. Plagiarism The use, whether by paraphrase or direct quotation, of the published or unpublished work of another without full and clear acknowledgment through proper citation format. The submission of an assignment or parts of an assignment written by someone other than the student, including but not limited to, other students, commercial organizations, and electronic sources. Misrepresentation The substitution of another student/individual during the taking of a quiz/examination or for the completion of a course. Unauthorized collaboration The sharing of quiz/exam questions or answers with another student without the instructor’s permission. The copying of another student’s homework without the instructor’s permission. Southern New Hampshire University 2013-2014 University College Undergraduate Catalog 42 Group collaboration on individual assignments without the instructor’s permission. Alteration or fabrication of data The submission of data not obtained by the student during the course of research. The deceitful alteration of data obtained by the student during the course of research. Duplication The submission of the same or similar paper in more than one course without the express permission of the instructor. Participation in or facilitation of dishonest academic activities ? The stealing of quizzes/examinations ? The alteration of academic records, including grades ? The sabotaging of the work of another student ? The distribution of materials for the purpose of cheating ? The alteration, forging, or misuse of university-related documents ? The intentional reporting of a false violation of academic integrity ? The offer of a bribe to any university member in exchange for special consideration or favors ? The misuse of university resources, including library resources (print and electronic) and facilities, computer labs, university equipment and networks, etc. Responsibilities under the Honor Code All members of the university community have responsibilities under the Honor Code. 1. Students are expected to acquaint themselves with the university’s policy on academic integrity; familiarize themselves with the syllabi of individual courses, which may contain more specific guidelines for citing material, working in groups, etc.; seek clarification from instructors on any aspect of a course or the Code about which they have questions or confusion; and should and are expected to encourage their peers to follow the Code. 2. Faculty should familiarize themselves with the university’s policy on academic integrity; make clear in their syllabi the university’s stance on academic integrity; discuss in their classes their own expectations regarding academic integrity as it applies to specific features of courses; incorporate into their course assignments and/or courses conditions that minimize the chance for violation of the Code; make clear to students in their courses the distinction between group and individual assignments, the method of citation required, and other policies relevant to helping students maintain academic integrity; be willing to clarify misperceptions or confusion, should students have questions about what constitutes academic dishonesty; and are expected to investigate and report any violation of the Code that comes to their attention. 3. Administrators should endorse the Code actively by incorporating awareness of it in orientation meetings, promotional literature, educational programs, etc. and support faculty and students who attempt to carry out the provisions of the Code. It is a student’s responsibility to seek clarification from an instructor if the student has questions about what constitutes cheating. The instructor, who has the full authority to assign an “F” grade for that assignment or course after a discussion of the incident with the student, will handle initial violations of academic honesty. A report of the incident and its disposition will be sent to 2013-2014 University College Undergraduate Catalog Southern New Hampshire University 43 the Dean of the School that offers the course. The Dean will review the incident and forward it for placement in the student’s personal file. A student dissatisfied with the instructor’s decision may request a meeting with the Dean. The Dean will investigate the incident and make a decision within five days of the student’s appeal. If there is new information not considered by the Dean, the student may make a final appeal to the Vice President of Academic Affairs, who will make a final decision regarding the incident within 10 days of the appeal. Upon placement of notification in the student file, the student will be referred to the director of The Learning Center, who will determine whether an educational component would be advisable to prevent further violations by the student. A notation will be placed in the student file regarding the outcome of the meeting. Any additional violations of the Academic Honesty Policy reported to a dean will be forwarded to the Vice President for Academic Affairs for action. A second offense will normally result in suspension from the university for at least one term or semester. Copyright Policy Southern New Hampshire University abides by the provisions of the United States Copyright Act (Title 17 of the United States Code). Any person who infringes the copyright law is liable. The Copyright Policies can be secured from the Library Dean and are accessible on the Shapiro Library Web pages. Attendance Policy Southern New Hampshire University subscribes to the belief that an assumption of responsibility is at the center of learning and accomplishment. Each student is expected to arrange a class schedule that minimizes conflicts with other commitments. This includes personal obligations, participation in athletics or other university sanctioned events, and the like. Therefore, the responsibility of attendance belongs to the student. Attendance is required in all courses. Being absent and/or late for class may impact a student’s grade, and in the case of excessive absences, may result in failure or the instructor withdrawing the student from the course. Missing more than 10 percent of the scheduled class time may be considered excessive. Students are responsible for all missed work, assignments, etc. The instructor’s policies on attendance and making up work must be included in the syllabus. Documented absences resulting from legitimate circumstances, such as personal illness, involvement in sanctioned university events, a death in the immediate family, etc. should not negatively impact a student’s grade or academic standing. Notwithstanding the previous statement, once a student has missed enough classes that the instructor believes that the student cannot meet the goals of the course within the remaining time frame, the student may be given a failing grade, withdrawn from the class, or be considered for an Incomplete (I) and given a defined period to complete remaining course work. Holy Day Policy Southern New Hampshire University recognizes the important role that religious holy days can play in the lives of its students. Observance of religious holy days may require students to miss classes. Such absence, when preceded by proper notification of teachers, will not carry any penalty or sanction. Students are expected to make alternate arrangements with their teachers regarding scheduled tests, assignments due or other course work and activity. Teachers are expected to be supportive of and sensitive to individual religious practices by being willing to work out alternatives to scheduled course work. In all instances, however, excused absence does not mean excused from meeting course standards and expectations. Should a dispute occur, the usual appeal process will be followed: the program coordinator/department chair, the school dean and finally, the Vice President of Academic Affairs.

Southern New Hampshire University 2013-2014 University College Undergraduate Catalog 46 Add and Drop Undergraduate day students who wish to change their schedules must do so during the add/drop period beginning with registration and ending at the end of the fifth class day. Students who miss the first two sessions of a class may be dropped by that instructor without prior notice. The Office of the University Registrar is notified of students dropped by an instructor. Nonattendance in class does not constitute a drop or a withdrawal. Unless students are dropped by an instructor or officially drop or withdraw from a class, they must receive a grade; nonattendance results in a failing grade. Amendment of Degree Requirements The courses required for a specific degree are in this university catalog. Any change in program course requirements must be approved by the student’s program coordinator/department chair and school dean. A form for this purpose may be obtained online or from the Office of the University Registrar. The completed and approved form must be received by the Office of the University Registrar before the change will become effective. Special Academic Options Second Major A student may elect to earn a second major by completing both the degree requirements associated with a primary major and the requirements of a second major excluding associated core courses. No more than 2 courses in the secondary major may overlap with the primary major. The student’s diploma will show the primary major; the transcript will reflect both majors. Double Degree A student with a SNHU undergraduate degree seeking to earn an additional degree of the same level must complete at least 30 additional credits in residence, while satisfying all other requirements of the new degree. No more than 2 courses in the new major may overlap with the major(s) of the previous degree(s). Double degrees may be pursued concurrently; however, the courses satisfying institutional credit requirements cannot be shared between the two credentials. Change of Major Undergraduate day students who want to change their majors must obtain the appropriate form online or from the Academic Advising Office. The completed and approved form must be received by the Academic Advising Office before the change will become effective. When students change from an associate degree program to a bachelor’s degree program, the courses he or she has completed will be deemed as part of the bachelor’s degree program. 2013-2014 University College Undergraduate Catalog Southern New Hampshire University 47 Independent Study A Southern New Hampshire University student may take an independent study course in any subject area. Conditions: ? The course content is not offered in any regularly scheduled Southern New Hampshire University course. ? A full-time Southern New Hampshire University faculty member in the department of the course subject area agrees to supervise the student and grade the student’s work, or a Southern New Hampshire University adjunct instructor, approved by the appropriate program coordinator/department chair and the school dean, agrees to supervise the student and grade the student’s work. ?

The study is approved by the student’s advisor, program coordinator and the school dean. ? It is the student’s responsibility to research and approach qualified full-time or adjunct faculty to teach and coordinate the independent study. Course-by-Arrangement Course-by-arrangement is a Southern New Hampshire University course appearing in the university catalog and required in the student’s academic program of study, yet extraordinary circumstances prevent the student from enrolling in the course when it is normally offered. Course-by-arrangement is available to Southern New Hampshire University undergraduates, who are unable to obtain a required course during the normal registration and scheduling process. School of Professional and Continuing Education students must review the master course schedules of area centers to verify that the required course is not being offered. Students must identify a Southern New Hampshire University full-time or adjunct faculty member consenting to teach and grade the work. The faculty member must be approved to teach the requested course. Course-by-arrangement applications require: ? a letter of extenuating circumstance justifying the offering of a course-by-arrangement ? a regular, weekly meeting schedule be established to ensure proper supervision of the student’s progress in the course ? a syllabus stating course objectives and evaluation process ? a defined time frame (semester, terms) Credit for Prior Learning Through Portfolio Assessment Students must have been accepted into an undergraduate Southern New Hampshire University associate or bachelor’s degree program. Students must have earned a minimum of nine credits at Southern New Hampshire University to be eligible to present a portfolio for review. Students must request a portfolio review prior to earning their final 18 credits at Southern New Hampshire University. This applies to students in associate and bachelor’s degree programs. Portfolio reviews will be accepted only for courses that are part of Southern New Hampshire University’s curriculum. Awarded credit may be applied to core, major or elective course requirements. All course prerequisites must be met prior to presenting the portfolio. A full-time Southern New Hampshire University instructor must be involved in reviewing the portfolio. A maximum of nine credits can be earned by way of portfolio review for an associate degree program. A maximum of 15 credits can be earned for a bachelor’s degree program. Southern New Hampshire University 2013-2014 University College Undergraduate Catalog 48 Students applying for a portfolio review must attend a series of Portfolio Workshops designed to: ? help them recognize the learning they have gained through non-curricular methods and settings ? help them recognize how this learning fits into their chosen degree programs ? help them recognize learning outcomes, competencies and course equivalents ? help them gather and organize appropriate materials in a presentable portfolio Students applying for a portfolio review must complete the process within one year from the initial date of application. Students submitting a portfolio for review will be graded on a pass/fail basis. Awarding of Credit by Examination Southern New Hampshire University accepts the results of nationally accredited testing programs or institutionally developed examinations to satisfy the prerequisites of certain courses or degree requirements. Before deciding on a testing program, the student should review his or her program evaluation with an advisor to determine if testing is a practical alternative. Standardized Testing Programs The university accepts for credit test results from the College Level Examination Program (CLEP), the Proficiency Examination Program (PEP), the Defense Activity for Non-Traditional Education Support (DANTES), high school Advanced Placement (AP) and International Baccalaureate (IB) tests. The Office of the University Registrar can provide information on minimum scores required. Institutional Examinations If students believe their experience and backgrounds have prepared them to meet the requirements of certain 100- and 200- level courses, they can challenge the courses through an institutional examination. Students should consult the Registrar as to which courses may be challenged. Before challenging a course, students should obtain an application form from, and consult with, an Academic Advisor, a Center Director or the Registrar. If, after this initial consultation, students feel capable of passing an institutional examination, an appointment will be made by the Registrar for the student to meet with the appropriate departmental representative. The nonrefundable fee of $100 will be assessed before sitting for the examination. The examination results are evaluated by the appropriate academic department and the course is listed on the student’s transcript for each successful challenge. An institutional examination may be taken only once. ? Students must have earned a minimum of nine credits at SNHU to be eligible for institutional exams. This applies to bachelor’s and associate degree candidates. ? Students must attempt institutional exams prior to their final 24 credits at SNHU. This applies to bachelor’s and associate degree candidates. ? For certificate programs, the window of opportunity to take institutional exams will be after three credits and prior to the final six. ? Each school will establish which courses in its program are eligible for institutional exams. However, the selection of eligible courses will be restricted to 100- and 200-level courses. ? A maximum of 15 credits may be earned by way of institutional exams. This applies to bachelor’s and associate degree candidates. For certificate programs, the maximum will be not more than one half of the total credits for the program. ? Students may attempt each exam only once. ? Students who are successful will receive a grade of “S” on their transcript. 2013-2014 University College Undergraduate Catalog Southern New Hampshire University 49 Awarding of Credit for Courses Taken in Other Postsecondary Settings Southern New Hampshire University awards credit for some formal course work taken in non-accredited, postsecondary educational settings. These settings include postsecondary vocational and technical training, in-service training courses in the workplace, military service training programs and career-related workshops and seminars. In many cases, this type of training has been evaluated by the American Council on Education (ACE) and criteria for awarding university credit is available in the various ACE guides in the Office of the University Registrar. Where there is no ACE criteria, Southern New Hampshire University may have to conduct an independent review of the training for the purpose of granting transfer credit. Students wishing to have their non-accredited, postsecondary course work evaluated should submit a letter requesting this evaluation, along with official transcripts or some original form of verification of successful completion of these courses, to the university registrar. Students will be notified by the registrar if the experience warrants credit and, if so, the number of credits awarded and the requirements they satisfy. Transfer Credits Students who wish to take courses at other colleges or universities and transfer the credits to Southern New Hampshire University must receive approval from the Registrar prior to enrolling at the other institutions. It will be necessary to furnish descriptions of the courses prior to taking them. After completing the course, the student must arrange to have an official transcript of the course grade sent to the Office of the University Registrar. Failure to obtain prior approval to take a course at another institution may lead to Southern New Hampshire University not granting transfer credit for that course. Only courses in which the student received a grade of “C-” (with a 2.0 average for all courses transferred from the same institution) and above will be considered for transfer acceptance by Southern New Hampshire University. The grade-point average of a course taken at another institution is not computed as part of the student’s grade-point average. Southern New Hampshire University does not accept as transfer credit co-ops, capstones, internships and student teaching taken at other institutions. General Education Transfer Policy Effective immediately for students transferring to SNHU beginning coursework in September 2013, the following takes effect: Model 1: If a student has completed the AA in Liberal Arts at a regionally-accredited community college, then the only additional SNHU general education requirement students would complete is the SNHU Experience. Additionally: ? Students will have to complete SNHU Foundation requirements (100 or higher level Math, ENG 120, ENG 200). Those who have not taken a second composition course would have to take ENG 200 upon transfer. ? any dictated general education requirements for the student's intended program must be met. Model 2: If a student has completed a portion of general education courses at another institution, or has completed an Associate's degree in a subject other than Liberal Arts, their courses would transfer in to SNHU in the categories listed below. Exact course equivalencies would not be required for transferred courses. The student would be required to complete a cluster and SNHU Experience. Southern New Hampshire University 2013-2014 University College Undergraduate Catalog 50 General Education Categories for Transfer 33 credits Subject Area Credits English Composition I and English Composition II 6 100-level or higher Mathematics 3 Fine Arts/Humanities/History 6 Social and Behavioral Sciences 6 Math, Sciences and Technology 6 Literature or Communications 3 General Education Elective (from any category) 3 SNHU General Education Program Requirements 12 credits Courses Credits SNHU Experience 3 Integration Cluster 9 Academic Complaint If a student has a complaint about an instructor or course, the student should speak first to the instructor. COCE students should then speak to their Advisor. If the student is not satisfied or cannot resolve the issue at that level, then he or she should speak to the Program Coordinator/Department Chair. If a day student is still not satisfied, then he or she should speak to the school Dean or Program Director. If the student wishes to pursue the matter further, he or she should speak to the Vice President for Academic Affairs, who will review the matter and make a final decision. Withdrawal from Class Students may withdraw from courses at any time during the first 60 percent of the semester with the course grade of “W.” The completed withdrawal from class form must contain the signatures of the instructor, the student and the student’s advisor. Merely ceasing to attend classes does not constitute an official withdrawal either academically or financially. Withdrawal from class forms may be obtained from One Stop. Withdrawals after 60 percent of the semester will only be allowed when: ? Withdrawal is student-initiated for conditions beyond the students’ control (e.g., illness documented by a physician’s letter). The course grade under these conditions will be “W.” Documentation must be provided by the student and approved by the appropriate advisor and school dean. ? An instructor may initiate a course withdrawal in unusual or extraordinary circumstances (not as a means to prevent low grades). The instructor initiating the withdrawal must assign a course grade of "WP" (withdraw passing) or "WF" (grades failing). Instructor-initiated withdrawals must be approved by the school dean. If initiated on or after the 13th week of the semester, VPAA/Provost Office approval must be obtained. In all cases, the date of withdrawal is the date the completed form is received by the Office of the University Registrar. Withdrawal from class does not reduce account charges. Credit hours for courses from which a student withdraws are included in his or her total number of credit hours. Withdrawal from a class may have an impact on financial aid and/or billing charges, especially for students who have received federal Title IV loans. Withdrawal disputes must be submitted in writing within 30 days after the end of the semester during which the student withdrew. 2013-2014 University College Undergraduate Catalog Southern New Hampshire University 51 Withdrawal from Southern New Hampshire University Students may withdraw from the university by obtaining a withdrawal form from the Office of Academic Advising. International students must obtain forms and begin the process in International Student Services. Merely ceasing to attend classes does not constitute an official withdrawal, academically or financially. Failure to file a withdrawal form with the Office of Academic Advising will result in the automatic recording of “F” grades for all courses being taken by the student. If a student is under 18 years of age, written parental consent must be received. Official date of withdrawal is the last date of class attendance as verified by an instructor. This date will be used in determining any refund. Students who withdraw from the university completely after the eighth week of the semester will receive either a “WP” or “WF” from each of their instructors. Withdrawal from a class may have an impact on financial aid and/or billing charges, especially for students who have received federal Title IV loans. No adjustments to account balances will be made; nor will withdrawal disputes be considered after 30 days from the end of the semester during which the student withdrew. Disciplinary Dismissal Southern New Hampshire University reserves the right to suspend any student for disciplinary reasons. Suspension means that the student is dismissed from Southern New Hampshire University for a given period, with an opportunity for readmission. This sanction may only be imposed by the Dean of Students or designee after a hearing. If suspended from the university, the student will be persona non grata on all university facilities and from all university functions for the period of his/her suspension. This information will be used in evaluating re-admission. If a student is expelled from SNHU for disciplinary reasons, he/she is permanently dismissed from the university without opportunity for readmission. If expelled from the university, the student will not be allowed on campus. Administrative Leave of Absence Policy Undergraduate day students may request an administrative leave of absence for the following semester in writing by obtaining the appropriate form via my.SNHU or from the Office of Student Affairs. If a student is below the age of 18, written parental consent must be received. Normally, an administrative leave of absence is granted for no more than one semester. Students who do not return as scheduled to the university following their one-semester leave of absence will be considered withdrawn from the university. Under extenuating circumstances only, an undergraduate day student may apply for an administrative leave of absence from the university during the current semester. The student must be in good academic/disciplinary standing. “Extenuating circumstances” include the death of an immediate family member, military deployment, serious documented medical issues, and other such extraordinary situations. Depending on the reason for the leave of absence, supporting documentation may be required. Merely ceasing to attend classes does not constitute an official leave of absence, academically or financially. Failure to obtain an approved leave of absence will result in the automatic recording of “F” grades for all courses being taken by the student. Students who take a leave of absence from the university after the eighth week of the semester will receive either a “WP” or “WF” from each of their instructors. Leaves of absence will not be granted after the 14th week of the semester. Students intending to return to the university after withdrawing must reapply through the Office of Admissions. Southern New Hampshire University 2013-2014 University College Undergraduate Catalog 52 The official date of the leave of absence is the last date of class attendance. This date will be used in determining any refund. A leave of absence may have an impact on financial aid and/or billing charges, especially for students who have received federal Title IV loans. It is recommended that students considering an administrative leave of absence meet with a One Stop/Financial Aid Specialist (if medically able) to ensure that they understand the responsibilities associated with their federal loans while on an administrative leave of absence. Leave of absence disputes will not be considered after 30 days from the end of the semester during which the student withdrew. All International Students must obtain forms and begin the process in International Student Services (ISS). Graduate Courses Students who have completed at least 90 undergraduate credits and have a 3.33 or higher GPA must apply through the Advising Center to enroll in a graduate level course. The student may enroll in the course, provided: ? there is space available in the course ? the dean of the appropriate school, the program coordinator/department chair and the instructor agree that the student has met the prerequisites of the course ? the student would receive undergraduate credits If the student goes on to enroll in a graduate program at Southern New Hampshire University, graduate credit will be granted if the student earns grades of “B” or better in the graduate level courses. Approval is limited to a maximum of six credits (two three-credit graduate courses). Testing of Students with Disabilities Students enrolled at Southern New Hampshire University who have documented disabilities verified by the Office of Disability Services may be entitled to alternate testing conditions to help them accurately demonstrate their true competencies. It is the responsibility of the students who wish to avail themselves of these accommodations to inform their instructors at the start of each term or as soon as they become aware of any disabilities. Freshman Course Requirements Students with 63 or more credits who have not completed the freshman English and math prerequisites will not be allowed to register without completing the required freshman courses. Transfer students must complete missing freshman and prerequisite courses within their first 30 credit hours at Southern New Hampshire University. University College students must receive permission from the dean of the School of Arts and Sciences to enroll in COCE ENG 101, ENG 120, ENG 121, ENG 122, ENG 123, or ENG 200. Basic Writing Competency Examination At the end of ENG 101 - Fundamentals of Writing, students must pass a Basic Writing Competency Examination. Using a dictionary and the course grammar text, students will be expected to write coherently, correctly and thoughtfully about a pre- assigned topic. Students must pass the Basic Writing Competency Examination in order to receive credit for ENG 101 elsewhere. Testing procedures are set forth by the School of Arts and Sciences. 2013-2014 University College Undergraduate Catalog Southern New Hampshire University 53 Competency in Writing Because competency in writing is critical for students, the university is committed to Writing Across the Curriculum.

Students complete eight semesters in three years to earn 120 credits for their degree and follow a trimester calendar that includes a two-week break in the winter and summer. Students will bring the know-how and experience gathered outside the college walls back to small groups of faculty, professionals and student cohorts that comprise a College Unbound@SNHU learning community on campus. Under the guidance of an Academic Coordinator, the learning community is where students will be challenged to build on their experiences and apply them in an academic context. Students live together in a dormitory on campus and have access to a College Unbound@SNHU Resident Director as well as mentors and student life programming that supports learning, builds interpersonal skills and fuels cultural and personal development. In addition, to encourage cross-cultural understanding and learning in new environments, College Unbound students are required to travel on education-based trips during the summer as a part of their course of study. These travel experiences will enrich students’ understanding of world issues and the global economy. Students demonstrate satisfaction of broad knowledge and skills through a portfolio of their work and regular evaluation by faculty and industry experts. In collaboration with an Academic Coordinator, students will create an individual learning plan that outlines the various projects, tasks and assignments that students will complete in their course of study. At the end of each semester, students present to a panel to demonstrate and document what they have learned, and the application of that learning. Such evidence will include academic papers, real world projects, and presentations in various formats. These documents will be housed within an e-portfolio. College Unbound@SNHU – Bachelor of Arts in Integrated Studies Upon graduating, students in College Unbound@SNHU receive a Bachelor of Arts in Integrated Studies. A Bachelor of Arts in Integrated Studies anchored in live-learning (internships) will empower students and will prepare them to deal with complexity, diversity, and change. The degree will emphasize broad knowledge of the wider world (e.g. science, culture, and society) as well as in-depth achievement in a specific field of interest. Students develop a sense of social responsibility as well as strong intellectual and practical skills that span all areas of study, such as communication, critical thinking, analytical and problem- solving skills, and a demonstrated ability to apply skills and knowledge in the real-world. Instead of grounding students in one discipline, the Bachelor of Arts in Integrated Studies initially provides students with a broad interdisciplinary exploration that becomes increasingly specialized as students hone in on their interests and identify areas of expertise. To complete the College Unbound program, students will be expected to demonstrate broad knowledge and skills defined according to the general education learning goals of SNHU (Knowledge of Human Cultures and the Physical and Natural World, Communication, Creative and Critical Thinking, Collaboration, Personal and Social Responsibility, and Integration, Application and Reflection). In addition to broad knowledge and skills, College Unbound students choose an area of concentration in a field of study that connects to their career interest. Working with a Professional Advisor, the Academic Coordinator, and other SNHU faculty experts, students will identify the critical skills and knowledge necessary to succeed and make a difference in their chosen field. Students will create learning goals and various projects to work toward proficiency in their chosen field. Southern New Hampshire University 2013-2014 University College Undergraduate Catalog 60 Over the three year experience students will have demonstrated skills (ability to solve complex problems, work in teams, communicate effectively, apply concepts across disciplines, etc.) that are highly sought after by businesses, corporations, and organizations. Students will also complete the program with a portfolio of projects that employers will be able to examine. More importantly, after three years of community and professional experiences, graduates will have a network of mentors, a global perspective and will be prepared to participate in the workforce and our democracy. Students graduate with experiences, skills and knowledge that set them apart from others. Students interested in College Unbound@SNHU must participate in a special application process, separate from the traditional programs at SNHU. Furthermore, students cannot declare College Unbound or Integrated Studies as a major upon arriving at SNHU. Only students who apply to the College Unbound program prior to enrolling in their first semester at SNHU are eligible. For more information and instructions on how to apply, please go to www.snhu.edu/collegeunbound or contact Beth Sheehan, Director of College Unbound@SNHU, at 603.668.2211, x3331 or at e.sheehan@snhu.edu. SNHU Advantage Program The SNHU Advantage program is a full-time undergraduate program offered exclusively at our Salem Center. This program is offered as a morning cohort model, allowing students to earn up to 72 credits towards a bachelor degree in more than 40 majors, without giving up a job, or moving away from home or paying full-time tuition rates. At the SNHU Advantage program students pay a tuition price that is 63% less than the cost of the main campus. Students will earn up to 36 credits per year, leading to an Associate of Arts degree in Liberal Arts. Each student works closely with an advisor and a dedicated team of faculty to support their success, with an eye on transitioning to a bachelor’s degree program. SNHU Advantage features three terms a year, in which students are registered for only 4 classes. The small class size – no more than 24 students, and a more manageable class load, make for an ideal situation for students to achieve academic success! Services and opportunities included in the program are on-site academic advising, tutoring in both math and writing, daily office hours with faculty members, online access to the library, the Learning Center and Career Development Center services. For more detailed information about the program, please go to http://www.snhu.edu/7212.asp?vdir=advantage, or contact Laura Corddry, Program Coordinator, at 603.893.9600, or at salem@snhu.edu. The SNHU Experience Recognizing that successful leaders must be able to view problems from a variety of perspectives, the university mandates that all students complete courses in written and oral communication, the fine arts, the social sciences, mathematics and science. Students must also complete the SNHU Experience, a series of three 1-credit courses: SNHU 101 - SNHU Experience: Transition to College to be taken during the freshman year; SNHU 303 - SNHU Experience: Life after SNHU to be taken during the junior year; and SNHU 404 - SNHU Exp: Gen Ed Capstone to be taken during the senior year. SNHU 101 - SNHU Experience: Transition to College Transition to College will help you make the most successful, least stressful transition to college life possible. This is the first in a 3-course sequence (SNHU-101, 303, 404) designed to support your academic, personal, and professional development. The goal of class discussions and outside work for SNHU-101 will be to help you develop and refine the knowledge and skills you will need to manage and get the most out of the academic and personal opportunities ahead of you. Remember that these opportunities may be challenging, but challenges allow us all to grow and change. Minimum Credits: 1 2013-2014 University College Undergraduate Catalog Southern New Hampshire University 61 SNHU 101 Details This course aims to provide: ? support to help you make a smooth transition to college ? essential tools and skills that promote and integrate academic, personal, and social development ? an understanding of university general education learning goals and expectations ? help to make informed choices about your major and career options ? information about the activities and services of the university At the end of this course, students should be able to: ? differentiate between high school and college level responsibilities (personal & social responsibility) ? identify and describe the goals of the university’s general education program ? recognize and employ available methods for effective learning ? utilize available resources and strategies to create a personal strategy for effective time management ? formulate a hypothetical academic plan to span the course of their time at SNHU (integration, application, & reflection) ? identify and describe university services essential to registration and various situations (critical and creative thinking) This course meets once each week throughout the semester. It will be conducted in seminar style, with interactive discussions organized around weekly topics and relevant experiences. Students are each encouraged to actively share experiences, concerns, and insights at each class meeting. E-Portfolio Students in SNHU 101 utilize Chalk and Wire,™ an e-portfolio tool, to develop an electronic document that demonstrates learning and active participation in the college environment. The portfolio serves a dual purpose: (1) students begin the four year process of creating a document that demonstrates skills, knowledge, and experience required by graduate schools and employers, and (2) faculty assess student academic progress with the use of standard criteria. The University Honors Program The Southern New Hampshire University University Honors Program is a student-centered program dedicated to creating a first-class educational environment for an exceptional group of students. Especially motivated students are offered an atmosphere where academic excellence is expected, where a challenging curriculum fosters independent thinking in the company of like-minded individuals, and where participants are encouraged to be actively involved in their own education. The University Honors curriculum, which is a minimum of 25 percent of the student’s course work, consists of eleven courses and three kinds of experiences: honors sections taught in a seminar environment with approximately 15 students, honors labs and modules attached to regular university courses, and three Honors-specific program courses. These courses are HON 201 - Interdisciplinary Studies I and HON 202 - Interdisciplinary Studies II and HON 401 - Independent Honors Thesis. The University Honors Program curriculum is adaptable to each student’s individual needs and interests and will work with almost any full-time undergraduate program offered at Southern New Hampshire University. University Honors Students receive a $2,000 scholarship renewable each year they remain in the program. They are also offered opportunities for trips, Southern New Hampshire University 2013-2014 University College Undergraduate Catalog 62 conferences, meetings with visiting speakers, special programs, volunteerism, retreats and other enriching activities. The academic achievement of University Honors Program members is facilitated by early registration and other academic privileges, and is documented on their transcripts and diploma. The program further encourages a dynamic peer learning environment by maintaining a comfortable honors lounge and holding regular honors social events. Applicants to the Southern New Hampshire University University Honors Program should have a combined SAT score (critical reading and math) of at least 1000, high school GPAs of 3.2 or better, outstanding entrance essays and evidence of interest in learning, personal development and service. Students usually enter the program at the beginning of their freshman year, but transfer students may also be accepted if they have fewer than 60 transfer credits. Current Southern New Hampshire University freshmen and sophomores will similarly be considered for entrance into the next year’s University Honors class on a space- available basis. Once accepted into the program, students must maintain a 3.0 GPA in every semester as well as grades of “B” or better in all Honors experiences. Students in the University Honors Program are required to offer service to the program and to the university as a whole by participating in various University Honors committees and campus organizations.

Students in all majors are eligible, with the exception of those in the 3Year Honors Program in Business Administration. For information and instructions on how to apply, contact the University Honors Program Director, Dr. Andrew Martino, at 603.668.2211 x2285 or at a.martino@snhu.edu. Center for Community Engaged Learning The Center for Community Engaged Learning received the Carnegie Foundation Community Engagement Classification in January 2011. The Center, created in 2005 largely in response to growing student interest in service, has grown from a staff of one full time professional focused solely on volunteerism to a staff of four full time employees and a student staff of more than 20 who support curricular and co-curricular community engagement. Student leadership is at the core of the Center’s management with students coordinating the majority of the initiatives with the guidance of professional staff. The Center’s fundamental purpose is to engage and empower student to be active citizens. Much of the Center’s focus is to support curricular engagement through traditional service learning; service addressing real community needs that is reciprocal in nature where community partners are engaged in student learning and includes reflection to help students. In an effort to expand our curricular opportunities for community engagement, in January 2012 we launched our community based research initiative; research projects using our academic expertise to assist with community challenges and/or assisting community partners with assessing their effectiveness. The Center works with faculty around course redesign to integrate service to meet rigorous course learning objectives. In addition, through student service learning coordinators, the Center provides an infrastructure to support the logistics related to student site placement and reporting. The Center’s co-curricular opportunities vary in commitment and scope focusing on direct service as well as advocacy and awareness. Weekly “one time” service experiences provide easily accessible entry points into service. These are designed as stand-alone service projects offered at varying times to meet a wide range of community needs. Longer term opportunities are available through the community service work study program, alternative breaks, or through taking on a leadership role in the Center. Awareness and advocacy efforts are part of the planning of each of our initiatives, but are also the driving force behind our three annual awareness weeks: Hunger and Homelessness Week, Human Rights Awareness Week and Earth Week. In an effort to continually meet community needs and student interest, our programs and services are continually evolving. Southern New Hampshire University Study Abroad The mission of the Southern New Hampshire University Study Abroad Program is to enable students to expand their global perspectives, allowing them to become well-rounded, global citizens. SNHU is dedicated to providing students with an academic program of study that will not merely expand their cultural knowledge, but significantly enhance their learning. Our 2013-2014 University College Undergraduate Catalog Southern New Hampshire University 63 carefully chosen partner institutions offer SNHU students the opportunity to take courses at all levels and in numerous majors- along with options for internships or service learning. Semester-long study abroad programs are open to all SNHU students on a full time basis, allowing a full semester overseas.

In addition, SNHU faculty and student research is now being collected online in the institutional repository, the SNHU Academic Archive. The librarians constantly strive to expand the depth of the library’s offerings and improve the ability of students and faculty to access its total complement of resources regardless of their geographic locations. This is facilitated by the Off-Campus Library Services (OCLS) which links the research needs of students enrolled through the College of Online and Continuing Education, cohort programs, and overseas campuses with the resources and services of the library. A strong, dynamic bibliographic instruction/information literacy program provides orientation and training for students, faculty and staff. Librarians design appropriate library instruction sessions, electronic information tools and online tutorials. Emphasis is placed on research strategies, database searching and engaging online resources. Classes are held in the library training facility and at SNHU Centers and other cohort locations and may be introductory or tailored to specific subjects and disciplines. The Shapiro Library features: ? Twenty-one computer workstations ? Wireless Internet access ? A computerized training room with 28 networked computers, an instructor’s computer, overhead projection, video, television and satellite downlink ? Conference rooms for individual and group study ?

Printers and scanning machines ? Eighteen laptops available for loan within the library ? The Pantano Art Gallery spotlighting New England artists The library’s online gateway can be accessed from the university’s portal at my.snhu.edu. Media Services Center A separate but functionally integrated wing of the library contains the Media Services Center. The center provides video recording and streaming of events, sound, lighting, and video post-production for use in classroom instruction and group functions. Computer-edited videos, transparencies and presentations are produced by students and faculty with assistance from the Media Services team. Included within the center are video editing workstations, recording space, and a media library. The library consists of educational and feature film DVD’s, videotapes and audio CD’s, which can be reviewed by students and faculty. Academic Support Offices Success in academic matters stems from participation between students and faculty members. Students who are willing to learn will find our academic support services a valuable part of that teaching-learning partnership. Academic support services at Southern New Hampshire University is comprised of four distinct offices: the Academic Advising Office, the Dorothy S. Rogers Career Development Center, the Office of Disability Services and The Learning Center. These four offices provide coordinated assistance to students as they become independent learners and successful both academically and in their chosen fields. Academic support services are available at no additional cost to all SNHU students. Students who want to achieve better academic and career results are welcome to discuss their needs with their academic advisors, instructors or a staff member in one of the academic support offices. Academic Advising Office (Undergraduate Day) Academic advising is a key component of a university experience; it is one of the few endeavors universal to all college and university students and plays a significant role in their education. The (Undergraduate Day) Academic Advising Office assists and supports students and Academic Advisors as they collaboratively define and develop educational goals and an academic plan consistent with the students’ personal, career, and life goals. The ultimate responsibility for making decisions about educational plans rests with the individual student. However, we also believe that academic advising is a shared responsibility between the student and their Academic Advisor. Academic Advisors work closely with and assist students to identify and assess the opportunities, challenges, and consequences of their academic and career decisions. Academic Advisors are committed to providing an integrated program of academic advising and support services to help students realize and achieve their respective goals. The Academic Advising Office is located in Exeter 59 and its services are available to all (Undergraduate Day) students. Services include academic counseling, course planning and selection, and programming designed to help students with decision making, goal setting and planning related to their educational, personal and career goals. Southern New Hampshire University 2013-2014 University College Undergraduate Catalog 66 Academic Advisor Assignment All first year students are advised by a professional Advisor in the Academic Advising Office. After the first year, students are re-assigned to a Faculty Advisor in the department under which their major resides. Students still exploring their major options will continue to work with their professional Advisor and begin work with a Faculty member once their major has been declared. Transfer students are advised by a professional Advisor in the Academic Advising Office for a period of time (normally not to exceed one semester) before they begin work with a Faculty Advisor in the department under which their major resides. Peer Advising Peer Advising Leaders (PALS) are trained student members of the Academic Advising Office. Peer Advising Leaders are available to students and faculty to answer general advising questions/concerns. Peer Advising Leaders also partner with Student Life and Residence Life for orientation activities and to provide outreach and programming for resident and commuter students. Dorothy S. Rogers Career Development Center The Career Development Center assists students with career planning and job search during and after their college careers. Career planning and development is critical for today’s college students who will be seeking career opportunities in an increasingly competitive job market. Career Planning Deciding on a career is a systematic process that requires time and planning. Making effective career decisions requires careful self-assessment and investigation of career options. Students are therefore encouraged to start meeting with the Career Development team early in their academic careers. The Career Development Center’s professional staff offers one-on-one counseling and workshops year-round, from freshman year to beyond graduation. Career assessments tools help clarify career objectives and values that relate to personal goals and lifestyles. Career exploration and informational interviewing provide opportunities for students to make better informed decisions about their career options. Traditional job search assistance is offered and students are strongly encouraged to participate in resume reviews and mock interviews offered by both Career Development professional staff and employer partners. The Career Development Center houses materials on trends, job-hunting techniques and employment opportunities. Two dynamic online resources, SNHU Recruit and CareerShift, connect students to thousands of employers and company contacts for job searching, career exploration and networking opportunities. An early partnership with the Career Development Center will help students enter the workforce well prepared for success. Internship Students in most majors at Southern New Hampshire University have the option of participating in internships. Internships, some of which are paid positions, earn credits toward degrees and integrate classroom study with related on-the-job work experiences. They bridge the gap between textbook theory and the actual practices of the work world, allowing students to explore career options. Many graduates have found that internships enhanced their career opportunities after graduation. The Career Development Center maintains working relationships with numerous internship employers. Students can easily access employers via the online resources maintained by the Career Development Center. 2013-2014 University College Undergraduate Catalog Southern New Hampshire University 67 Office of Disability Services The Office of Disability Services coordinates accommodations and services for students with documented disabilities. The office’s Disability Specialists work closely with faculty, staff and the ADA/504 Compliance Committee to ensure that reasonable accommodations are made to provide program and facilities access to individuals with disabilities.

Documentation guidelines are available from the Office of Disability Services or online at www.snhu.edu/1347.asp. 3. Academic Responsibility While personal services and personal aides cannot be provided, reasonable accommodations will be provided to students with disabilities based on documentation and an intake interview between the student and the appropriate Disability Specialist. Such accommodations may include priority registration, auxiliary technology and other reasonable classroom and examination accommodations. In all instances, the classroom instructor is responsible for facilitating the learning and examination process (with assistance and advice from the Office of Disability Services). 4. Grievance Procedure Southern New Hampshire University has adopted an internal grievance procedure that provides for prompt and equitable resolution of complaints regarding any action prohibited by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), as amended, and by Department of Education regulations implementing Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended (29 U.S.C. 794). Section 504 states, in part, that “no otherwise qualified handicapped individual ... shall solely by reason of his handicap be excluded from the participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subject to discrimination under any program or activity receiving federal financial assistance...” Complaints should be addressed to: ADA/504 Compliance Officer c/o Wellness Center Southern New Hampshire University 2500 N.

ILE Scholastic Standing Committee Effective January 1, 2013, a new Scholastic Standing Committee was established by the Institute for Language Education (ILE) to address issues with underperforming students. The committee has the authority to issue Academic Warnings, but will forward recommendations for Academic Suspensions or other sanctions to the appropriate (graduate or undergraduate) University Scholastic Standing Committee which will make a final decision on such cases. As with other Scholastic Standing Committees, the ILE-SSC will create its own internal processes, referring periodically to the APC for guidance. Southern New Hampshire University 2013-2014 University College Undergraduate Catalog 70 English as a Second Language Program (ESL) The English as a Second Language (ESL) Program, more formally known as the Intensive English Program (IEP), is a full-time program with eighteen hours of language instruction and guidance per week. Students are tested and assigned to one of six levels of instruction. Typically, completion of one level of instruction requires two terms/one semester. At the end of each semester, students are given the TOEFL exam, along with other tests, and are evaluated as to their progress and readiness for movement to a higher level of ESL instruction or for undergraduate/graduate coursework. Mandatory individual student- teacher conferences are scheduled at mid-semester as well as at the end of each semester. ESL students can earn three credits per semester (with a maximum of six credits), but for graduate students this credit is added onto the degree requirements. The goal of the IEP is to equip international students with the linguistic, academic and cultural skills that will enable them to successfully enter and complete academic programs at Southern New Hampshire University or other colleges and universities in the United States. Specially trained and experienced faculty employ a variety of proven instructional methods to meet individual student needs and curricular goals, which include the development of academic skills and language skills (listening, speaking, reading, writing, grammatical accuracy and cultural awareness). Small class size (limited to twelve students) and placement in appropriate levels ensure individualized learning. Computer-assisted instruction provided in a modern language lab complements classroom instruction. Advanced level students may be permitted to take courses for degree credit in the School of Professional and Continuing Education. Field trips and access to community resources address students’ academic, career, and personal development needs. The faculty believes that the uniqueness of its program lies in the emphasis on close teacher-student relationships and structured interaction with professionals who live and work in the Manchester community. For more specific information on the skills developed within each level, refer to the ESL heading in the course description section of this catalog. Requirements for Completion It is difficult to predict how many semesters a student will need to acquire fluency, to meet the English proficiency requirements of Southern New Hampshire University, or to pass the TOEFL exam. Students at the lowest levels must recognize that they may require up to three full semesters or more before undertaking a full-time degree program. Admissions Procedures Admission to the ESL Program is open to anyone 17 years of age or older who has completed secondary school and who has already acquired some English proficiency (approximately 350 on the paper-based TOEFL [PBT], 63 on the computer-based TOEFL [CBT], or 20 on the Internet-based TOEFL [IBT]. Applicants must complete an application and international applicants must also give evidence of financial support. New students apply to the ESL Program through the Office of International Admissions; returning students are registered by the ILE Office. Admission to the ESL Program does not constitute admission to a degree program at Southern New Hampshire University. Transitional Bridge Program Conditionally accepted undergraduate school students who have completed the advanced level of ESL and have been accepted into undergraduate school are placed into ENG 070, ENG 071, ENG 072: Transitional English. This series of three integrated courses prepares international students for the academic tasks required in American university undergraduate coursework. For more specific information on the skills developed within each course, refer to the ENG heading in the course description section of this catalog. 2013-2014 University College Undergraduate Catalog Southern New Hampshire University 71 Foreign Languages Currently, four foreign languages are offered at Southern New Hampshire University: Arabic, French, Mandarin Chinese, and Spanish.

Rolling Admission Most students apply under the rolling admission plan, in which applications are reviewed throughout the year. It is recommended, however, that candidates for freshman admission apply prior to March 15 for the fall term and before Nov. 15 for the spring term.

The credit evaluation lists all courses that transfer into the student’s degree program so that the student knows exactly the courses needed to complete his or her bachelor’s degree. Credits for courses in which the applicant earned a grade of “C-” or better, and which fit the student’s degree program, are generally transferable. SNHU reserves the right to not transfer for credit cooperatives, capstones, internships and student teaching taken at other institutions. In most cases, transfer applicants with associate degrees from accredited institutions are granted junior (upper division) standing. A maximum of 90 credits may be transferred toward a bachelor’s degree and 30 credits may be applied to an associate degree. For New Hampshire community college students, all course-by-course equivalencies as well as recommended transfer programs can be found at www.NHTransfer.org.

(See the Graduation Requirements section in the University Policies section for more information.) International Transfer Credit Evaluation for Domestic Day Students Students who wish to receive transfer credit for college-level coursework from an international institution outside of the United States or Canada may submit an official transcript to the Office of Transfer Admission for evaluation, but may be required to have their transcripts evaluated by an educational credential evaluation service that is recognized by the National Association of Credential Evaluation Services (NACES) or the Association of International Credentials Evaluators (AICES). Students may also use the services of the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers International Education Services (AACRAO) or the Credentials Evaluation Service of the Commission on Graduates of Foreign Nursing Schools (CGFNS). Students may use only one evaluation service. Multiple evaluations for transfer credit will not be accepted. Students must have official copies of the evaluations sent directly to the Office of Transfer Admission from the credential evaluation service. Credit for Life Experience Southern New Hampshire University recognizes that many students possess knowledge and skills that may deserve recognition through the awarding of university credits. The university has adopted an advanced placement system that allows students to be granted university credit through a variety of methods. Through the advanced placement program, credits are granted for the demonstration of proficiency in prescribed sets of competencies at a level acceptable in one of the university’s educational programs. The credits must fit into the degree requirements of the program at Southern New Hampshire University chosen by the applicant. Students beginning at Southern New Hampshire University should review with an advisor the various methods of earning credit toward graduation for previous formal and informal educational experiences.

Payment of University Bills Full payment of tuition and fees or participation in the TMS payment plan is required by the semester’s payment due date. Any student not paid in full by the semester’s payment due date will be assessed a late payment fee of $150 and the student’s class schedule may be dropped. Fall semester charges are due by August 1, 2012. Spring semester charges are due by January 1, 2013. Unpaid balances may be subject to collection fees. The net balance due on a student account consists of tuition and fees less the net amount of financial aid to be posted. Balances, which result from unpaid financial aid (for any reason), are the student’s responsibility to pay. All students must sign a one-time Institutional Promissory Note agreeing to the terms and conditions as set forth by Southern New Hampshire University. The Institutional Promissory Note can be located on the Web at: www.snhu.edu/9461.asp. Unpaid balances will be subject to finance charges. Student financial accounts must be settled in one of the following ways: a. Students may access billing statements, account and payment information through my.snhu.edu under “Self-Services; Pay my bill.” b. Paid in full and received by One Stop before the semester’s payment due date (cash, check, money order, VISA, Discover and MasterCard accepted) or: c. Enrolled in the contracted payment plan offered through Tuition Management Services (TMS), for full–time day students only. Participation is defined as TMS having received the first payment and enrollment fee before the semester’s payment due date. TMS is an independent payment plan company that is authorized by Southern New Hampshire University to make payment contracts and receive payments on the university’s behalf. There is an enrollment fee to open a contract. Contact TMS directly to open a contract (800.722.4867) or www.afford.com.

You will be responsible for making any necessary adjustments to the payment contract in order to settle the account in full with SNHU. Any account balance not contracted with TMS is due and payable immediately to SNHU. Finance Charges All outstanding balances are subject to 18 percent per annum finance charge, including balances from pending/anticipated financial aid. Finance changes are posted on the last day of each month. Withdrawal and Proration of Fees Policy (Undergraduate Day) Students who withdraw from the university (see Withdrawal from Southern New Hampshire University) may be eligible to receive a refund according to the policy listed below that applies to their situations. This policy is also applicable to part-time undergraduate day school students. Students receiving Federal Title IV Financial Aid (Federal Stafford, Plus, Perkins loans and Federal Pell or FSEOG grants): Students who withdraw before they have attended 60 percent of any particular academic term may need to have a portion of the federal financial aid canceled. These funds, if already disbursed would then be returned to the U.S. Department of Education. The percentage of federal financial aid “earned” (allowed to keep) is based on the amount of time a student attends in that term and is calculated using the Federal Return to Title IV funds formula provided by the U.S. Department of Education. If a student withdraws after they have attended 60 percent of an academic term, they have earned 100 percent of the aid awarded for that term and there is no cancellation of aid. In some instances, if a student has taken a credit refund from Southern New Hampshire University 2013-2014 University College Undergraduate Catalog 82 financial aid funds and then withdraws, these funds may need to be paid back to federal aid sources, or Southern New Hampshire University depending on the circumstances. Institutional financial aid may also be canceled during the withdrawal process based on adjustments to charges and federal financial aid. Students will have all refunds processed within 30 days of the notification of withdrawal. Southern New Hampshire University complies with all federal refund requirements. Tuition, fees, room and board are canceled/reduced based on the following schedule for standard day school students: Tuition and Room charges: ? 100 percent refund before the first day of class. ? 90 percent refund through the first 10 percent of the term. ? 50 percent refund from 10 to 25 percent of the term. ? 25 percent refund from 25 percent of the term through 50 percent of the term. ? No refund after 50 percent of the term has elapsed. Fees: No refund after the first day of class for student activity fees. Dining Plan 1 and Dining Plan 2 balances are refundable at 40% of remaining balance less $400. This means the balance of dollars over $400 is refundable at 40% at the end of the school year except for students transferring, graduating, or withdrawing at the end of the first semester. All remaining balances will be forfeited as of May 31. Refund requests must be received in writing at One Stop by May 31. Balances under $400 are not eligible for refund. Non-matriculated Part-time Students Southern New Hampshire University provides limited opportunities for residents of the Greater Manchester area to enroll as special students on a part-time basis in its undergraduate day programs, including the culinary program. Non-matriculated part-time students may enroll for up to six credit hours in a semester, not to exceed nine credit hours per academic year or more than 12 credit hours in total. Enrollment is on a space-available basis. Contact the Office of Undergraduate Admission for more information. The tuition rate is shown on the tuition and expenses table. There are no refunds for withdrawals due to the reduced cost of these classes. Credit Overload A student who wants to take more than 19 credit hours in a single semester must receive permission to take these extra credit hours from the appropriate school dean. Credit hours for courses from which the student withdraws are included in his or her total number of credit hours. A student will be required to pay for each credit hour he or she takes in excess of 19 credit hours in one semester. All Southern New Hampshire University tuition and fees are subject to change at any time by action of the Board of Trustees. See the Tuition and Expenses schedule for charges. Financial Aid Southern New Hampshire University provides several types of financial assistance to help students and their families meet the cost of a university education. More than $60 million was awarded to our students in amounts ranging from $500 to the full amount of educational costs during the 2011-2012 academic year. 2013-2014 University College Undergraduate Catalog Southern New Hampshire University 83 Financial aid programs administered by Southern New Hampshire University come from federal, state, institutional and private sources. A coordinated scholarship and assistance program includes three basic types of aid: gift, loan and work. The different types of assistance can be awarded singly, but it is the university’s usual practice to award these types in various combinations called financial aid packages. All scholarship and assistance programs are subject to federal and state regulations. Compliance with these regulations is the responsibility of the student and the aid administrators and is a condition of the student’s eligibility to receive assistance. Students are encouraged to seek assistance from sources outside the university in addition to applying for aid through One Stop. Students should consider such local programs as Dollars for Scholars and service clubs. Guidance counselors may be able to provide information concerning available reference material. Outside assistance must be reported to One Stop and may necessitate a revision to an existing financial aid award to avoid exceeding the allowable cost of attendance for the student’s program of study. The Financial Aid Application Process All students are strongly encouraged to complete the Free Application for Federal Aid (FAFSA). The FAFSA information is used for students who wish to apply for any type of need based assistance, including loans, grants and work-study. Entering Southern New Hampshire University’s school code of 002580, you can electronically submit the FAFSA at www.fafsa.gov. You must obtain a Student Aid PIN issued by the Department of Education. The PIN permits you to sign your FASFA online. The student and a parent must have a PIN in order to have a valid electronic signature on the FAFSA. A PIN may be obtained at www.pin.ed.gov. Awards are made for one academic year, which includes terms starting on or after July 1. Students must reapply for financial aid each year. A paper FAFSA can be obtained at One Stop on the main campus, at any of the SNHU locations, at public libraries and at high schools. New students’ financial aid applications are considered for aid eligibility following admission into the university. Priority will be given to a FAFSA received by March 15. Students who submit a FAFSA after this date will receive all federal and state funds that they are eligible to receive, and will receive institutional aid as funds permit. Normal processing time for the FAFSA is approximately seven days if submitted electronically with a PIN; two to three weeks for mailed submissions. Students striving to meet the priority filing date are advised to keep the processing time in mind. Mid-year transfer students must ensure that loans processed at other institutions are adjusted by their previous schools to reflect their actual enrollment end dates at those schools. Please contact the Office of Financial Aid of your previous school to have them update this information with the Department of Education. All required paperwork must be completed before or during the student’s annual enrollment period. If a student withdraws from school prior to completing any required financial aid processes, pending financial aid funds will be canceled and any charges will become immediately due to the university. At Southern New Hampshire University we strive to acknowledge the academic achievement, community service and leadership experience of our students through a variety of merit based grants and scholarships. Merit Based Aid for New Students New applicants are automatically considered for merit based, renewable grants and scholarships during the admission process. Grants and scholarships are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis so students are encouraged to apply for admission early. Should we determine that a student is receiving substantial and/or multiple scholarship benefits, Southern New Hampshire University reserves the right to adjust or remove our offer of merit aid.

College of Online and Continuing Education students should contact their Center Director for more information. Federal and State Programs Selection Criteria Southern New Hampshire University participates in Federal Title IV student aid programs and utilizes the required federal methodology for determining student eligibility for federally funded assistance as calculated by the data submitted on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).This data is used to calculate the Expected Family Contribution (EFC). The EFC is the U.S. Department of Education’s measurement of a family’s ability to contribute toward education cost. For dependent students, an estimate of the parents’ contribution toward education expenses is made based on their income, assets, federal taxes and other family liabilities. The student’s income and assets are also considered in estimating the total family resources that may be utilized to meet the cost of education. For independent applicants, an estimate of the student’s contribution is made based on the income and assets of the student and his or her spouse. Taxes and other liabilities are taken into consideration in the formula. The difference between a student’s cost of attendance (COA) and the estimated family contribution (EFC) and additional support received from sources outside the university is the student’s demonstrated financial need. One Stop attempts to fund demonstrated need through a combination of available financial aid sources. All information submitted in support of an applicant’s aid request is held in strict confidence. When a student applies for financial aid by filing the FAFSA, some of the application information is verified with federal agencies. This includes the Department of Homeland Security, Social Security Administration, Selective Service, Veteran’s Administration and the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS). If the information does not match, the discrepancy must be resolved before federal student aid can be disbursed. The university reserves the right and recognizes the responsibility to cancel awards and re-bill the student and/or parents in cases where financial aid is awarded on the basis of incorrect or incomplete information. Federal Pell Grant For academic year 2012-13 Federal Pell Grants range from $555 to no more than $5,550. Applicants must be enrolled in a baccalaureate or associate degree program and not already have obtained a baccalaureate degree. Student eligibility and grant amounts are determined by the U.S. Department of Education but vary with enrollment status and program of study. Southern New Hampshire University 2013-2014 University College Undergraduate Catalog 92 Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG) The FSEOG is a campus-based federal grant program with awards ranging from $200 to $1,200 per year, depending on demonstrated need and availability of funds. Grants are awarded to students with exceptional financial need, and typically to students receiving Federal Pell Grants. State Student Incentive Grant (SSIG) New Hampshire has a reciprocal agreement with Maine, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut and Pennsylvania through which residents of those states may be eligible for state aid for attendance at a post-secondary institution in New Hampshire. New Hampshire also has an incentive grant program for its residents. The state agency in your state can provide eligibility requirements. Loans and Jobs Federal Perkins Loan Program The Perkins Student Loan Program is a long-term, low-interest educational loan program administered by the university through a revolving fund comprised of contributions from the federal government, previous borrowers and the university. The maximum annual loan amounts are $1,500 for undergraduate students. Loans are based on financial need, and the current interest rate when in repayment is 5 percent. Federal Stafford Loans The Federal Stafford Loan program offers both subsidized and unsubsidized loans. For students who qualify for a subsidized loan, the federal government pays the interest on the loan (“subsidizes” the loan) until repayment begins and during authorized deferment periods thereafter. An unsubsidized loan is not awarded on the basis of financial need; however, a student must complete the financial aid application process, and One Stop must determine whether or not a student is eligible for need-based aid before awarding an unsubsidized Stafford Loan. Interest begins to accrue immediately once the loan proceeds have been disbursed. The student can then choose to pay the interest or allow it to accumulate. If the student chooses to let the interest accumulate, it will be capitalized (added to the principal amount) and will increase the amount the student must repay. To determine eligibility for this federally regulated loan, the student must file the FAFSA and have completed a Federal Stafford Loan Master Promissory Note. Only a university financial aid associate can determine the student’s eligibility based on the cost and financial need at the particular university. Maximum loans for dependent undergraduates are $5,500 ($3,500 subsidized/$2,000 unsubsidized) for students who have fewer than 30 credits, $6,500 ($4,500 subsidized/$2,000 unsubsidized) for students who have at least 30 credits but fewer than 60 credits and $7,500 ($5,500 subsidized/$2,000 unsubsidized) for students who have 60 or more credits in a baccalaureate degree program. A Master Promissory Note is a renewable serial loan note that must be completed for your first Stafford Loan at SNHU. In succeeding years, additional funds may be added to this note by the student after the student has applied for financial aid through the FAFSA process. A Stafford Loan will be processed for the amount listed on the award notification or a lower amount if indicated in writing by the student. Written notifications of loan approvals will be mailed to the student by the loan servicer. 2013-2014 University College Undergraduate Catalog Southern New Hampshire University 93 The current interest rate, established by the federal government, varies but will not exceed 8.25 percent. No repayment of interest or principal is required on either subsidized or unsubsidized Stafford loans until six months after the student graduates or withdraws from the university. Additional terms and limitations are printed on the Master Promissory Note. For more information on Stafford Loans please visit www.snhu.edu/1212.asp. Federal PLUS Loans Parent Loans for Undergraduate Students (PLUS) is a program designed to provide assistance to parents who wish to borrow money to help pay for their dependent child’s education. The maximum loan amount is equal to the total cost of attendance minus the amount of financial assistance received by the student. Repayment of principal and interest begins immediately with minimum monthly payments of $50 plus interest. Repayment may be spread over 10 years. The university One Stop determines eligibility based upon federal need analysis procedures; the Department of Education determines credit worthiness. A Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) must be on file to receive a PLUS Loan. Private Loans for Parents and Students There are several alternative loan programs available for parents and students. These programs should be explored only after Stafford and PLUS loan eligibility has been exhausted. Please view information on the alternative loans at www.snhu.edu/1212.asp. Federal Work Study Program (FWSP) The Federal Work Study Program is an employment program funded by the federal government and the university. It allows students with financial need to work on- or off campus and receive an hourly wage. The 2011-2012 minimum rate is $7.25 per hour. One Stop sponsors a job fair prior to the start of fall classes to assist students in locating employment; however, neither employment nor earnings are guaranteed. Typical jobs are found in the library, cafeteria, department offices, gymnasium and in maintenance. Community service positions are available off campus at several local nonprofit organizations. Please review the One Stop website for up-to-date employment opportunities. Southern New Hampshire University Student Part-time Payroll In addition to the university Work Study Program, Southern New Hampshire University maintains a student part-time payroll. Pay periods, pay rates and job duties are the same as with the Work Study Program; however, there is no total earnings ceiling per academic year. Off-campus Employment Manchester is New Hampshire’s Queen City and the population center of the state. Part-time, non-work-study employment opportunities also exist in the local area and, although not part of the university’s aid program, earnings from such sources can contribute significantly toward meeting university costs. The university’s Career Development Center coordinates information concerning these opportunities and acts as a liaison with local employers. Southern New Hampshire University 2013-2014 University College Undergraduate Catalog 94 International Students and Financial Aid Financial Aid is available to international students. Students may apply online on the international admissions web page. Maximum awards are $5,000 for undergraduate students and $3,000 for graduate students, based on GPA. Some private student loans are available to international students provided they can obtain a co-signer living permanently in the United States. Details are available in International Student Services (ISS). International students may work on campus up to 20 hours per week with potential earnings of up to $5,000 per year. Computer Purchase Program One Stop at Southern New Hampshire University (SNHU) does not offer grant aid for the purchase of a computer, however students and parents may borrow additional loan funding, up to $1,500, to cover this expense. If a family would like to borrow additional loan funding to cover this required expense, they should contact One Stop. Veterans’ Benefits Southern New Hampshire University is approved for the education of veterans and the dependents of veterans. Questions regarding benefits for veterans should be directed to the Office of the University Registrar. Each new veteran should submit: a. an application for admission b. a registration form for the next term c. an official high school transcript or an official copy of GED test scores d. official university transcripts, if any e. a copy of their certificate of eligibility and any service school data f. the necessary Veterans Association paperwork Veterans enrolling under the G.I. Bill for the first time may experience a delay of up to two months before they receive their first checks. Veterans should contact the Veterans Affairs Office at 1.888.442.4551 if no check has been received by the seventh week of a term. If a veteran student is transferring directly from another school where he or she had been using VA benefits, the student should ensure that the other school promptly notifies the VA of his or her effective date of termination. The student also is required to file Form 22-1995 with the Veteran Affairs Office. Students requesting Veterans’ Educational Assistance are required to have all previous postsecondary educational experience evaluated for possible transfer credits in order to be eligible for benefits. Students must notify the registrar of any past university credits that are transferable to Southern New Hampshire University. If, after two terms, the veteran does not supply the required official transcripts of past studies, he or she will be certified only for the cost of courses. In the College of Online and Continuing Education, two courses per eight-week term constitute a full-time academic load and qualify the veteran for full-time benefits. New veteran students should matriculate immediately and select their degree programs. Because of VA regulations pertaining to certifications, a non-matriculated student will not be certified for educational benefits after two terms of attendance. Veteran students who take courses that are not applicable to or not required for their chosen degrees will not be certified to the VA for those courses. In order to maintain full-time status, veterans may take courses outside their majors only in the last term before graduating. 2013-2014 University College Undergraduate Catalog Southern New Hampshire University 95 The VA requires strict compliance with a number of other regulations, including maintenance of satisfactory academic progress and notification of any status changes, such as withdrawal from a course. It is the veteran’s responsibility to be aware of all VA regulations that affect his or her educational program. Satisfactory Academic Progress for Financial Aid Academic progress is determined by One Stop based upon the information contained on the student’s academic transcript as of the date of the review. A student must meet both the qualitative and the quantitative standards in order to continue to receive Federal Financial Aid (Title IV). Qualitative Standard Students enrolled in undergraduate degree programs must maintain a minimum cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 2.0 on a 4.0 scale. Students enrolled in graduate degree programs must maintain a minimum cumulative grade point average GPA of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale. Quantitative Standard A student must have successfully completed at least 67 percent of all the credits he or she has attempted at Southern New Hampshire University during the entire period of enrollment. Total credits earned divided by total credits attempted equals the percentage. ? All grades earned are considered toward cumulative GPA except for developmental and non-degree courses. ? For the purposes of financial aid, a student may attempt a maximum number of credit hours based on his or her program of study, less the total number of credits accepted for transfer from other institutions. All credits attempted will count toward maximum time frame except for remedial and non-degree courses. ? Undergraduate programs of study must be no longer than 150% of published length of educational program. ? The school must do a continual review of the student’s progress toward completion. For example, if a Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) review shows that a student is at 110% of maximum time frame and cannot complete his/her program within 150 percent of allowable credits, all Federal Financial Aid (Title IV) must stop. o Associate degree candidates may attempt a maximum of 90 credits (150%). o Bachelor degree candidates may attempt a maximum of 180 credits (150%). o Graduate degree candidates may attempt a maximum of eight years of study in a specific graduate program. ? Credits attempted are those for which the student has enrolled at the end of the add/drop or standard registration period. ? Successful completion is defined as the assignment of a passing grade to the courses attempted and equates to the number of credits earned. Failure, withdrawal, incomplete or other designations to the courses attempted are not considered successful completion. ? Repeated coursework: o Previously passed courses can be repeated once and be eligible for financial aid. Failed courses that are repeated will be counted in the calculation of credits attempted. o Calculation of SAP GPA will follow the method used by SNHU to calculate academic GPA, specifically with reference to repeating of the same course to improve a grade. The first course grade will not be computed into the GPA; instead, the most recent grade will be used. Multiple course attempts do, however, count towards the number of credits attempted used to calculate a student’s completion rate. ? Withdrawals: Southern New Hampshire University 2013-2014 University College Undergraduate Catalog 96 o In the SAP calculation withdrawals are considered to be credits attempted but not earned. ? Incompletes: o In the SAP calculation incompletes are considered to be credits attempted but not earned until the course is completed and the student receives a passing grade. ? Transfer credits from other schools: o In the SAP calculation transfer credits are considered to be credits attempted and completed toward the completion of the student’s program and counted toward the maximum time frame. Review of Satisfactory Academic Progress: Individual student records will be reviewed annually. The review is for programs of study that are longer than one academic year, and must include all terms of the student’s attendance (including summer terms). Enforcement: a. Financial Aid Suspension: Failure to meet either the qualitative or quantitative standard will result in the student being placed on financial aid suspension until the next evaluation period.

The office's Disability Specialists work closely with faculty, staff and the ADA/504 Advisory Panel to ensure that reasonable accommodations are made to provide program and facilities access to individuals with disabilities. For more information go to www.snhu.edu/603/asp. Southern New Hampshire University 2013-2014 University College Undergraduate Catalog 102 Services to Students with Disabilities 1. Section 504 Compliance and ADA Compliance Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability in any program or activity receiving federal assistance. Southern New Hampshire University intends to comply fully with Section 504 and with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) as amended. Southern New Hampshire University's ADA/504 policy is coordinated by the ADA/504 Advisory Panel, which endeavors to ensure that reasonable accommodations are made to provide program and physical access. 2. Self-Identification and Documentation of Disabilities The university makes no pre-admission inquiry about an applicant's disability. We recognize that to disclose any disability is a personal choice that every student may exercise. We respect that choice; however, we encourage students with disabilities to self-disclose to the Office of Disability Services. It is only through self-disclosure that informed decisions can be made by the student regarding the suitability of Southern New Hampshire University. This information is also useful after the student is enrolled to access appropriate services. Accommodations can be made only after the student provides complete documentation to the Office of Disability Services. Documentation guidelines are available from the Office of Disability Services or online at www.shnu.edu/1347.asp. 3. Academic Responsibility While personal services and personal aides cannot be provided, reasonable accommodations will be provided to students with disabilities based on documentation and an intake interview between the student and the appropriate Disability Specialist. Such accommodations may include priority registration, auxiliary technology and other reasonable classroom and examination accommodations. In all instances, the classroom instructor is responsible for facilitating the learning and examination process (with assistance and advice from the Office of Disability Services). 4. Grievance Procedure Southern New Hampshire University has adopted an internal grievance procedure that provides for prompt and equitable resolution of complaints regarding any action prohibited by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), as amended, and by Department of Education regulations implementing Section 504 of the Rehabilitation act of 1973, as amended (29 U.S.C 794). Section 504 states, in part, that "no otherwise qualified handicapped individual ...shall solely by reason of his handicap be excluded from the participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subject to discrimination under any program or activity receiving federal financial assistance ...". Complaints should be addressed to: ADA/504 Compliance Officer c/o Wellness Center Southern New Hampshire University Manchester, NH 03106-1045 603.645.9679 or Fax 603.645.9711 Grievance Procedure Steps: 1. The University encourages the informal resolution of concerns and will assist any individual with that process. The University is also committed to the prompt investigation and resolution of concerns pertaining to the civil rights of individuals attending the University, employed by the University or participating in University functions, of which it is aware regardless of the filing of an actual complaint. If an individual is dissatisfied with that resolution attempt or wishes to forego an informal resolution, an individual may follow the more formal process below. 2013-2014 University College Undergraduate Catalog Southern New Hampshire University 103 2. A complaint must be filed in writing, contain the name and address of the person filing it and describe the alleged violations of the regulations with specific factual information. The Compliance Officer will provide assistance to any person whose disability interferes with filing a grievance in writing. 3. A complaint must be filed within 30 working days of the alleged violation. 4. The ADA/504 Compliance Officer or his or her designee will conduct an investigation, as may be appropriate, following the filing of a complaint. These rules contemplate informal but thorough investigations, affording all interested persons and their representatives, if any, an opportunity to submit evidence relevant to the complaint. 5. The ADA/504 Compliance Officer will issue a written determination as to the validity of the complaint and a description of the resolution, if any, and forward a copy to the complainant no later than 20 working days after the complaint is received. 6. The ADA/504 Compliance Officer will maintain the files and records of Southern New Hampshire University relating to the complaints filed. 7. The complainant can request a reconsideration of the case in instances where he or she is dissatisfied with the resolution. The request for reconsideration should be made within 10 working days to the ADA/504 Advisory Panel, which will involve other university officials as deemed necessary. The ADA/504 Advisory Panel will render a final decision within 20 working days of receipt of the complainant’s request for reconsideration. These rules will be construed to protect the substantive rights of interested persons, meet the appropriate due process standards and ensure that Southern New Hampshire University complies with the ADA, as amended, and Section 504 and their implementing regulations. Any of the above time frames for the University may be extended if the University determines there are extenuating circumstances. Examples of extenuating circumstances include University holidays and vacations, witness unavailability and circumstances outside the control of the University. Under such circumstances, the ADA/504 Compliance Officer will notify the complainant in writing as to the delay and a projected date for resolution. Diversity and LGBTQ Initiatives Southern New Hampshire University is a multi-cultural, multi-ethnic, multi-generational, and multi-gender university. We believe diversity is integral to our university culture. Research has shown that a diverse population – in terms of background, talent and perspective – enhances the educational environment for all. Our campus environment encourages and empowers students to develop priorities, values, critical thinking, and behaviors appropriate to positive personal and professional lives. The ideas, cultures, practices and religions brought by each student enhance the entire college experience, from the classroom to residence halls, and athletics to campus organizations. The Office of Diversity and LGBTQ Initiatives works with students, faculty and staff from across the university to create a welcoming and supportive campus environment. The office is committed to building a supportive community for underrepresented students as expressed through ethnicity, gender/gender identity, race, culture, and sexual orientation. For more information, go to www.snhu.edu/11580.asp. International Student Services (ISS) International Student Services (ISS), located in Belknap Hall, assists and supports international students and scholars while they are at SNHU as non-immigrants. ISS provides orientation programs, immigration advising, travel documents, enrollment certification, information about applying for a Social Security number or a driver’s license, practical training assistance and cross-cultural adjustment counseling. ISS also offers programs such as the Thanksgiving Hosts, and International Friendship Families, and Conversation Partners programs to connect SNHU international students with local American families for occasional meals or activities, and English practice. Southern New Hampshire University 2013-2014 University College Undergraduate Catalog 104 An important aspect of the work of ISS is to foster understanding among our students, staff and faculty who come from all over the world; the annual International Education Week celebration, the Cousins program and the Conversational English tutoring program are three initiatives aimed at accomplishing this work. ISS staff also work with the student-led International Students’ Association to sponsor intercultural events such as the International Gala, which features fashion, music, dance and skits from around the world. Public Safety Southern New Hampshire University public safety officers are on duty 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Officers patrol the campus in marked vehicles, on bicycles, Segways and on foot. Officers are trained in crime prevention, security patrolling, first aid, fire suppression and preliminary investigations. Officers also spend a good portion of their shifts providing general services for the campus community such as lockouts, roadside assistance and escorting students on campus during hours of darkness. In addition to patrol efforts the University has strategically placed throughout the campus 14 blue light emergency call phones which ring directly into the public safety office. Extensive exterior lighting of walkways and parking lots are in place. We also utilize a video surveillance system with camera coverage situated at strategic locations. Although a private university, Southern New Hampshire University’s Department of Public Safety continually works in concert with local Police, Fire and EMS. A spirit of cooperation is maintained as the department works hand-in-hand with these agencies to keep our campus safe. The department provides direct service programs to the members of the university community. The programs are dedicated to the prevention of crime and fire safety awareness. The programs vary in scope and topic but include a hands on Rape Aggression Defense class, personal safety awareness, identity fraud and a winter driving workshop to name a few. In compliance with the Campus Security Act of 1990 (CLERY Act), SNHU’s safety, security programs along with our crime and fire statistics are reported annually to the US Department of Education. This information can be found on the university’s website and in brochure form at the Public Safety Office. The Public Safety Office is located in Morrissey House. Residence Life The residence life program supports the academic mission of the university by enhancing student learning inside and outside the classroom. Residence Life provides an environment that allows for individual growth and provides facilities that are well- maintained and safe. Campus living should be an exciting and educational experience. Living in the residence halls creates an environment in which students will grow, learn, accept adult responsibilities, make informed choices, develop friendships and increase self- awareness. The Office of Residence Life, located in Chocorua Hall, Suite 3, offers referral information on university services, sponsors programs and assists with physical accommodations. 2013-2014 University College Undergraduate Catalog Southern New Hampshire University 105 The residence program consists of: Apartments Townhouses Residence Halls Conway Attitash Chocorua Greeley Cranmore Hampton Kearsarge Hillsboro Merrimack Lincoln Rockingham New Castle Spaulding Sunapee Ossipee Whittier Tuckerman Washington Windsor Winnisquam Winnipesaukee Our first year and second year students traditionally choose to live in the residence halls, while our third and fourth year students usually reside in the apartment and townhouses. All residence hall rooms are furnished with desks, chairs, beds, window shades and wardrobes. There are convenient common spaces with furnished lounges, microwaves, flat-panel televisions and study spaces. Students are encouraged to make their residence hall rooms a comfortable personal living space that in many cases they will share with a roommate. In the residence halls, we have a limited number of single rooms available as well as suite style and pod-style living. Individual townhouses and apartments are furnished with desks, chairs, beds, window shades, wardrobes, living room and kitchen furniture, and a stove and a refrigerator. Students must provide their own pots, pans, glasses, plates, and silverware. Hampton, Windsor, Conway, and Lincoln house have community rooms for program areas. Our residence areas are active during the summer as well. Traditional Summer A and B term students reside in either New Castle, Washington, or the Upper Suites. The Eastside Residence Halls and Eastside Apartments along with the Lower Suites are used as conference and convention spaces. Each area is administered by a Residence Director (RD), who is a live-in, professional staff member. RDs supervise the student Resident Assistant staff, develop, coordinate and encourage programming, investigate and adjudicate judicial matters, act as liaisons between residents and facilities management, and refer students in need of personal assistance. Resident Assistants (RAs) are students who are selected and trained to assist the Office of Residence Life staff. Southern New Hampshire University and the Office of Residence Life hire RAs to work in each residence hall, apartment and townhouse building. The RAs work with residents to build a climate conducive to academic success, individual growth and the development of appropriate community norms, such as mutual consideration and respect for others. RAs assess and work with their students in order to provide diversity, life skills, academic, social, and healthy living programs for their areas. The RA is the first person to contact if a student is in need of advice, a referral to another office, or help concerning a roommate issue or a maintenance request. Being admitted to the university is not a guarantee of a residence assignment. Students are assigned residence on an annual basis. Wellness Housing The goal of wellness housing is to sustain a housing option for students who desire a substance-free residence area while working closely with the Wellness Center. These students are also provided with the opportunity of maintaining a lifestyle that supports positive life choices. Southern New Hampshire University 2013-2014 University College Undergraduate Catalog 106 Residential Learning Communities Our Residential Learning Communities (or RLCs) reside in the Eastside Residence Halls, currently only in Windsor Hall. The goal of the RLCs is to expand their understanding of a topic through the students’ general interest and living-learning components in a community-based residence hall environment. Through exploration and investigation, students partner directly with the Residence Director in this area to create this unique living opportunity. Robert A. Freese Student Center Student Center The Student Center is dedicated to supporting the growth and learning that occur in all facets of campus life. This department collaborates with many members of the SNHU community to provide innovative and planned campus programs, activities and services. Programs presented annually are the New Student Orientation programs and the University Convocation for new students. The Student Center is the campus crossroads, where students, faculty, staff, alumni, and guests of the institution meet and socialize. It is known as the “living room” of the campus, and is a showcase facility for student life. The facility houses the three student governing groups; CAPE (Coordinators of Activities & Programming Events), IGC (Inter-Greek Council), and SGA (Student Government Association) and the student radio station (Radio SNHU). Several offices are also housed in the Student Center which offer numerous services, including Postal Services, the Campus Store/Bookstore, Diversity and LGBTQ Initiatives, Campus Ministry, Student Involvement, the Wellness Center, Copies Plus (a student-run copy center), the Last Chapter Pub, and the Student Center Operations. Other services offered in the facility include pool tables, a 24 hour ATM, TVs, a convenience store/coffee shop, a veteran’s lounge, an Interfaith Prayer Room, and plenty of places to hangout. New Student Orientation The Student Center staff coordinates the SNHU Orientation programs, which are held three times during the year. Those programs are the Summer Orientation program held in June, the First Days program held at the opening of the fall term, and the Spring Orientation program held at the beginning of the spring term in January. These programs are for all full-time, undergraduate students who are new to the university. The programs focus on social, academic, and personal integration and transition issues that all new students face when going to college. Solicitation Policy The Student Center Operations must approve all advertising by non-university organizations in order to be posted and/or distributed on campus. No solicitation is allowed except with the approval of the Student Center Executive Director. Businesses are offered certain opportunities to promote their products by reserving a table in the Student Center area or through advertising in the student newspaper. Both of these services are offered on a fee basis. All requests will be considered as long as the service represents a benefit to our students and the institution and does not interfere with any contractual agreements the institution has entered into. In the residence areas only, student clubs and organizations are allowed to market door-to-door with prior written approval through the Office of Residence Life. If the student group is intending to conduct a fundraiser, the students need to receive approval from the Office of Student Involvement as well as the Executive Director of the Student Center. 2013-2014 University College Undergraduate Catalog Southern New Hampshire University 107 DeColfmacker Veteran's Lounge The DeColfmacker Veteran's Lounge, located in Room 113 in the Robert A. Freese Student Center, is the place to meet and socialize with other veterans on campus. At the lounge, student veterans can study or relax before or after classes while enjoying a complimentary cup of coffee or soda. The lounge provides access to the benefits, resources, and services available to veterans. Additionally lounge amenities include cable television, movies, and PlayStation 3 games. Wellness The mission of the SNHU Wellness Center is to provide students with the skills to resolve problems, improve relationships, and attain optimum health in support of the achievement of lifelong academics and personal success. Our vision is to assure that the wellness model is integrated into the decisions and operations of the institution and each individual’s growth and development. As a staff, we value prevention over treatment and try to reflect that in our services and programming efforts. We believe that change occurs at both individual and systematic levels, that college is an opportunity for growth in and out of the classroom and that learning occurs in a variety of contexts. Furthermore, our work is guided by the beliefs that actions speak louder than words, people are responsible for their own actions, asking for help and utilizing available resources is healthy and an educational institution is responsible for challenging students to become intellectually curious, socially responsible and emotionally healthy members of society. The Wellness Center is comprised of three functional areas. They are the Counseling Services, the Health Services, and the Educational Services. Counseling Services Sometimes personal and emotional problems can negatively impact learning and living and interfere with a person’s development. Even a student with many strengths and abilities can experience difficulties which can be effectively resolved through counseling. Some examples of such difficulties might be problems in interpersonal relationships, depression, loneliness, sexual concerns, poor grades, substance abuse or conflicts with one’s family. Personal concerns of any type may be discussed frankly and privately with a professional counselor. Counseling sessions are confidential and can be arranged by contacting the Wellness Center. Counseling Services are offered at no additional charge to students. Health Services SNHU Health Services is licensed by the Department of Health and Human Services as an Educational Health Facility and must operate according to their regulations. We are staffed by licensed, experienced nurses who collaborate with our off-site Medical Director as needed. Nurses provide education related to the treatment and symptom management of common acute illnesses and injuries (e.g. colds, flu, sore throat, burns, cuts, urinary tract infections, minor sprains and strains). If a greater level of care is required, students will be referred to a local urgent care, emergency room, or other health care provider as appropriate. The cost of services received in the local community is the responsibility of the student. Nurses also provide personal health counseling and education related to chronic illness, healthy lifestyle, illness prevention, and birth control. Staff members are available to assist students with processing insurance claims covered by the university sponsored health insurance plans. To be eligible for health services at the Wellness Center on campus, students must submit a completed SNHU medical record form. This medical record form (available at http://www.snhu.edu/files/pdfs/medicalform.pdf) requires a student’s signature (or parent’s consent to treat if the student is a minor), emergency contact information, a brief health history and a health physical within the past twelve months. Also required is an immunization history including documentation of a complete Southern New Hampshire University 2013-2014 University College Undergraduate Catalog 108 measles, mumps and rubella series or documentation of immunity through an antibody titer test. In addition, international students are required to have a recent (within six months) chest x-ray and provide a report translated in English. Any missing information will incur additional medical service fees to the student upon arrival. Health Services Complaint Procedure All student complaints about care at Health Services should be directed to: Jet Goldberg Director of Wellness Center 603.645.9679 If a student feels the complaint is not adequately addressed, contact: Heather Lorenz Dean of Students 603.645.9608 Students may also file a complaint with: Division of Public Health Services Bureau of Health Facilities Administration 6 Hazen Drive Concord, NH 03301 1.800.852.3345, Ext 9499 Educational Services Education is at the core of the Wellness Center’s activities and services. The staff members firmly believe in the value of prevention in the development of a whole person. Educational services include classroom presentations on wellness topics; individual consultations with students; workshops and co-sponsorship of substance-free activities; training for student leaders, staff and faculty; and access to resource materials for classroom assignments or personal growth opportunities. REACH (Real Education About College Health) is an established club that is advised by the Wellness Center.

The arts and sciences explain enduring characteristics of human achievement and failure; order and chaos; and the wisdom and compassion that may inform our actions. The arts and sciences are a path into the unknown as well as a marked trail for what we know of our universe to date. School of Arts and Sciences At Southern New Hampshire University, the School of Arts and Sciences serves students in their quest for a productive education, meaningful work, and a life that takes account of the common good. The School of Arts and Sciences is founded on the fundamental notion that a comprehensive education encourages curiosity, elevates conscience, and responds to community needs. The broad scope of the liberal arts opens many paths of life and work, and helps students to understand the deepest forms of human expression. By connecting the humanities, science, fine arts, mathematics, technology, and social inquiry, students engage creative energies and develop problem-solving capacities. Each major requires an additional nine credits, or three courses, in the arts and sciences to be taken outside the disciplinary fields of the major. These are noted as “required SAS courses” for each major. Thus, Arts and Sciences majors are able to explore the relevant disciplines in depth as well as broader implications to prepare students for any number of career choices. School of Business Undergraduate Mission The school develops and implements high-quality, innovative, leading-edge, competency-based business curricula that meet the changing needs of students, business, government and society.

All certification programs meet the requirements for New Hampshire teaching certification. Requirements for NH Teacher Certification Teacher Certification Program The quality of elementary and secondary schools depends on the character and caliber of our teachers, therefore the State of New Hampshire has set requirements for teacher certification. SNHU has designed the Teacher Certification Program (TCP) to ensure that its graduates meet the academic, professional, and personal standards that the state has set for teacher certification. Students usually apply to the Teacher Certification Program in the first semester of their sophomore year, or for transfer students their first semester. Applicants will be considered for acceptance to the TCP program based on the following criteria: ? Achievement and maintenance of a cumulative GPA of 3.0 ? Passing PRAXIS I Scores ? Faculty recommendations ? Approval of required essay Only School of Education courses with a grade of “C” or better may be used toward NH teacher certification requirements. Any School of Education courses with a grade lower than a “C” may be used for graduation credits, but will need to be repeated with an earned grade of “C” or higher to be applied toward State of New Hampshire teacher certification. Field Experiences The School of Education believes that the theories and methods discussed in the college classroom are best understood in concert with practical experiences. The New Hampshire Department of Education requires that students participate in relevant and varied field experiences. Therefore, participation in applied learning situations is a required component of many DEV, EDU and SPED courses. Students will complete a minimum of 100 hours of field experience during their programs prior to student teaching. Student records will be evaluated to confirm all field experience requirements have been met upon applying to student teaching. Student Teaching Student teaching provides a valuable learning experience for the pre-service teacher through an internship under the direct supervision of a certified mentor. During this placement, the student teacher gradually assumes the role of the teacher. All degrees leading to initial teacher certification culminate in this 16-week student teaching experience. Students apply to the student teaching program one year prior to beginning their placement, generally during their junior year. In this application process, students are again evaluated to confirm that they have maintained the requirements of the Teacher Certification Program and that they have completed all fieldwork and course requirements. Students must pass the PRAXIS II in their subject area prior to being considered for a student teaching placement.

We also offer in- depth examinations of major periods and authors. In addition to studying a variety of literature courses, the creative writing major provides students with extensive opportunities to develop and hone writing skills in a particular genre. Creative Writing and English with Concentrations in Fiction, Nonfiction, Poetry, and Screenwriting, B.A. Coordinator: Prof. Benjamin Nugent Novelists, memoirists, poets, playwrights and screenwriters articulate the questions of our time. They help us to free ourselves from our easy assumptions and to empathize with people whose circumstances differ from our own. Literature gives our culture a way to talk to itself. SNHU’s major in creative writing is for students interested in careers in writing and book publishing, and for students who simply wish to explore a passion for writing. It teaches skills useful for journalism, law, communications, and many other professions. It prepares students for graduate programs, like the university’s low-residency Master of Fine Arts in fiction and nonfiction writing. Creative writing courses begin during freshman year. Publishing opportunities at SNHU include the student literary journal, The Manatee, and contests in the university’s nationally- distributed journal, Amoskeag.

Gain the communication and research skills needed in the workplace today. Learn to think critically and write effectively. Welcome to SNHU's BA in English language and literature program. The BA in English language and literature degree opens up several career possibilities beyond the traditional roles of writers and teachers. English language and literature majors also go on to become lawyers, politicians, marketing communication professionals, historians, museum curators, and nonprofit directors, just to name a few. Classes are generally small. The literature courses, for example, average about 20 students and the writing courses just about 15 students. This allows professors to keep the classes lively and highly interactive. You won't ever find yourself sitting in a huge auditorium, struggling to follow along with a lecture. In fact, some of the most unique learning opportunities might take place out of the classroom. Because of SNHU's ideal location in the heart of New England, the birthplace of American literature, professors often build in visits to historic literary sites such as Walden Pond to add depth to the subject matter. The program includes an extensive overview of American and British literature and a sampling of world literature. You'll also be required to take courses in linguistics, literary theory, and Shakespeare. Optional courses include Postcolonial Studies, multinational literature, as well as regularly rotating courses on single authors (Dickens or Hemingway, for example) and specific genres (drama, poetry, and the novel).

Environment, Politics & Society Pre-Law Certificate Coordinator: Dr. Paul A. Barresi The Pre-Law Program at Southern New Hampshire University is an interdisciplinary instructional and mentoring program that helps students to prepare for law school by giving them substantial insight into what it means to “think like a lawyer.” Although the program is hosted by the School of Arts and Sciences, it is open to students in the undergraduate day school from throughout the University. The Pre-Law Advisor, who is a full-time School of Arts and Sciences faculty member, a lawyer, and a former law school legal practice skills instructor, is available to advise students in the Pre-Law Certificate Program on all matters related to their preparation for law school and the practice of law. Although the most common undergraduate majors for law students nationwide are political science (Law and Politics at SNHU), History, and English (English Language and Literature at SNHU), the Pre-Law Committee of the American Bar Association (ABA) (www.abanet.org/legaled/prelaw/prep.html) does not recommend any particular major or group of courses as the best preparation for law school. Instead, the ABA recommends that pre-law students take “a broad range of difficult courses from demanding instructors,” and “seek courses and other experiences that will engage you in critical thinking about important issues, challenge your beliefs and improve your tolerance for uncertainty.” SNHU’s Pre-Law Program has been designed with these factors in mind. 2013-2014 University College Undergraduate Catalog Southern New Hampshire University 167 Students may earn the Pre-Law Program as a certificate. Students in any major in the undergraduate day school may participate.

In pursuit of this goal, the program cultivates a historical perspective, which is integrative of all fields of human knowledge; analyzes the choices, and consequences of those choices, of various human communities; appreciates the development of wisdom and beauty; develops advanced critical thinking and communication skills through intensive examination of the elements of history (among them texts, images, objects, landscapes) and the crafting of contemporary historical arguments based upon those sources; examines the creation of history through the work of historians; and encourages civic engagement through a deeper and more nuanced understanding of the development of human societies and the importance of competent, creative, and generous leadership in forging peaceful societies. In addition to the prescribed coursework, students are strongly encouraged to participate in internships and study abroad programs as a way of broadening their intellectual and cultural development and preparing them for success in a wide range of fields.

Courses in the arts and humanities help students develop their powers of reasoning, speaking, writing, and creativity, thus equipping them for the challenges of contemporary life. Ultimately, work in the arts and humanities instills in students a lifelong thirst for learning and capacity for aesthetic growth. Individually Designed Major in Liberal Arts, B.A. The School of Liberal Arts offers an individually designed major which allows students to draw upon the offerings of several academic departments to create a program of study with unique and well thought out learning goals. At the heart of the program is a close student-advisor relationship to assure that the student’s learning goals are articulated, and that the course of study leads to the achievement of those goals. The cardinal principles of a liberal education are critical thinking skills and a breadth and depth of learning, coupled with intellectual curiosity and commitment to active citizenship, in the concentric circles of community extending from the self to the world. Specific learning objectives of the individually designed major vary according to the student’s interest. However, the learning experience itself demands intellectual focus, self-discipline, thoughtful reflection, and the design and execution of a significant work of scholarship. Students entering the major enroll in a semester-long Course by Arrangement. In collaboration with a faculty mentor, the student determines the educational goals sought and the specific objectives to be achieved through the proposed course of study. During the following three semesters the student meets on a regular basis with the mentor for advice on the course of study, to adjust the program as appropriate, and to focus on fulfilling the learning experience. Students in the program may elect to complete a senior thesis as part of an Honors option. Students qualify for the Honors option by maintaining a 3.2 GPA in the last four semesters of study and produce a thesis (6 credits) under the mentorship of a member of the liberal arts faculty. Students in the program can expect intellectual challenges, engaged and collaborative teaching, and support inside and outside the classroom. 2013-2014 University College Undergraduate Catalog Southern New Hampshire University 177 Individually Designed Major Curriculum General Education Program: 45 credits SAS required courses: 9 credits (to be determined by the student’s faculty advisor) Free electives: 21 credits ?

Public Administration, B.A. Public administration prepares students for the world of government policy, organization and management. As a civil servant, public administrators both make policy and enforce programs to help build and strengthen communities and society. Students learn critical subjects such as government structure, administrative management, fiscal budgeting, community dynamics, politics and public policy. Public administration graduates are prepared for careers in government at the city, county, state, national, and international levels, as well as employment in nonprofit and quasi-governmental organizations. The US Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics projects public administration employment opportunities are expected to grow at about the same rate as other occupations through 2014. Growth will come from the continued need for municipal governments to provide services such as fire protection, criminal justices systems, public works, libraries, schools, public health, transportation, housing and development due to an expanding population. Opportunities for those with public administration experience are increasing in the private sector as regulation becomes more complex. Program Outcomes: Upon completion of the B.A. in Public Administration, students will: ? Recognize the role and need for public administration within society and community ? Acquire an applied, comprehensive knowledge of the structure, responsibilities and opportunities of public administration in a variety of community settings ? Recognize and define public sector departments, delivery systems, management hierarchy, and organizational behaviors ? Identify the origins and elements of public budgets and fiscal management ?

According to the United States National Center for Education Statistics, "scientific literacy is the knowledge and understanding of scientific concepts and processes required for personal decision making, participation in civic and cultural affairs, and economic productivity." A scientifically literate citizen is able to evaluate independently the source, methodology and quality of scientific information and arrive at valid conclusions. Consequently, the Science Department has developed a number of interdisciplinary science courses specifically designed to provide science literacy for the non-science majors. Perhaps the greatest challenge in the future will focus on the environment. Environmental science is the interdisciplinary field that integrates the physical and biological sciences into the study of the environment and applies a systems approach to the solution of environmental issues. Many of the non-science faculty at SNHU share this interest in the environment and contribute a diversity of perspectives and dimensions to the major. Students with degrees in environmental science have a variety of opportunities to apply their education to the growing demand for an understanding and expertise in sustainability required by the corporate and nonprofit worlds alike. A minor in environmental studies is also offered for the non-science students who would like to add another dimension to their education. The Science Department also partners with the School of Education at SNHU to offer a bachelor of arts in middle school science education. Throughout this program, courses integrate knowledge and pedagogy to offer a critical science foundation and grasp of effective, innovative approaches to teaching and learning at the level of middle school science. A graduate of this program is fully certified to teach science, grades 5-9 in New Hampshire, and the certification is reciprocal in most states.

Southern New Hampshire University 2013-2014 University College Undergraduate Catalog 206 Social Sciences Department Chair: Francis Catano The Social Science Department is home to three majors: Sociology, Environmental Management, and Law and Politics. The department and majors are interdisciplinary; while each stands alone, they share many courses including the capstone course that all seniors take. The department’s focus is on experiential learning, including service, internships, and learning projects. Diversity, globalization, and sustainability are timely and practical themes across each major. Students in these majors can look forward to careers in public policy and service, as teachers, in law and sustainable community development across a host of positions in the public and private sectors. Environmental Management, B.A. Coordinator: Dr. Paul A. Barresi In today’s world, it’s becoming essential to go green, which means thinking and acting sustainably. Public opinion, political pressure, emerging business opportunities, and ecological realities are driving the integration of sustainability concerns into nearly every major employment sector in the United States and abroad. The environmental management major provides students with the knowledge, skills, and experiences needed to take advantage of these trends, and to transform how we do business, make laws and policies, build communities, and live our daily lives throughout the twenty-first century and beyond. It is aimed primarily at students interested in sustainability-focused careers in business, consulting, community economic development, interest group politics, law, public administration, and related fields. Students seeking an edge in the sustainability job market or in pursuing a graduate or professional degree in fields such as business administration (M.B.A.), community economic development (M.S.CED), public administration (M.P.A.), or law (J.D.), may combine the environmental management major with a minor in a related field, such as business, international business, economics, finance, operations and supply chain management, organizational leadership, project management, political science, or sociology, or with a certificate in pre-law.

The Law and Politics major at Southern New Hampshire University provides students with the knowledge and skills necessary to be effective professionals at the interface of these two dynamic fields. Students not only acquire a solid theoretical and practical foundation in the art and science of politics; they also gain substantial insight into what it means to “think like a lawyer,” both in the United States and around the world. The Law and Politics major prepares students for careers in electoral or interest group politics, political and public policy consulting, the civil service, and the diplomatic corps, and in any of the vast array of public- and private-sector fields that require a broad arts and sciences education and the skills that the political science major provides, such as journalism, business, Southern New Hampshire University 2013-2014 University College Undergraduate Catalog 208 and education. The major also prepares students for graduate study in political science, public policy, or public administration, for post-undergraduate paralegal studies, and for law school, as well as for a lifetime of citizenship in a politically and legally complex and increasingly globalized world. For more information about career opportunities for law and politics majors, see “Careers and the Study of Political Science: A Guide for Undergraduates,” which is available at SNHU’s Shapiro Library or through the American Political Science Association (www.apsanet.org).

The term social life encompasses all interpersonal relationships, all groups, all types of social organizations, and all human culture; past and present. We want our majors to experience Sociology. Our emphasis is on professional practices as well as scholarship, with a career orientation and experiential learning approach. We provide first-person experiences in analyzing and dealing with processes, problems and institutions of society. In a world of globalization and cultural diversity, Sociology is of increased practical importance in many career paths. Partnering with community organizations, the Sociology major emphasizes a hands-on approach to learning. Graduates of our program seek employment in social services and counseling, management and administrative support, teaching, research, sales, marketing, public relations, criminal justice positions, and many other fields. Our program also prepares students to continue their education to obtain a graduate degree in Sociology or in other areas: for example, entrance into law school or a MBA program.

Director: Ashley Liadis In 1995, the 3Year Honors Program broke the mold for higher education. The U.S. Department of Education asked the higher education community to find a way to improve the effectiveness—and reduce the cost—of undergraduate education. Southern New Hampshire University was the only private university in the country to win a federal grant to tackle this challenge. This custom-designed, highly integrated academic experience is offered over the course of six semesters, without attendance in summer, night or weekend courses. Students typically take a course load of no more than five modules at a time and graduate with 120 credits; the same number as students in a traditional four-year degree program. The 3Year Honors Program is a selective degree program within the School of Business that also meets the requirements of the University Honors Program. Students receive honors recognition from the university as well as the annual $2,000 honors scholarship. Students will take HON 201 and HON 202 with other university Honors Program students; all remaining honors coursework will be completed as part of the 3Year Honors Program curriculum. The mission of the program is to educate selected, qualified honors students who desire a bachelor’s degree in business administration in six semesters. The program is designed so that students will: ? Succeed in obtaining entry-level positions upon graduation and advancing in their chosen professions and careers. ? Realize their individual potential and contribute to the betterment of their local communities and society at large. ? Be effective leaders and proponents of change. 2013-2014 University College Undergraduate Catalog Southern New Hampshire University 231 ? Become successful lifelong learners. The university recognizes its obligation to deliver a high quality program that prepares students for profoundly changing business, cultural and geopolitical environments so that they may have the best chances for personal and professional success as future business leaders. To achieve the mission, students must work to master certain academic competencies. The university adopts the appropriate academic strategies and provides resources to ensure the success of 3Year students. The new paradigm under which the program operates recognizes the importance of students, faculty members and university administrators working jointly to accomplish the academic mission. This program is based on students mastering the following competencies: Communication: Students will demonstrate an ability to communicate effectively through written, oral, and other forms of communication. Information Technology: Students will master information technology principles and contemporary information technology applications and will be able to apply information technology to the greatest advantage in the many aspects of an organization’s operations. Problem Solving: Students will develop the skills to identify problems quickly, analyze them reasonably, and find solutions creatively. Teamwork: Students will develop a broad range of interpersonal skills in order to function effectively as a participant in team and group situations. Analytical Skills: Students will appropriately use and apply quantitative and qualitative methods of analysis, use data, applied mathematical and statistical techniques, and decision sciences whenever possible to attain organizational objectives. Global Orientation: Students will attain a multidisciplinary global perspective in order to understand others and make more effective international business decisions. Legal and Ethical Practices: Students will realize the legal and ethical considerations and implications of personal, social, business and international business behavior and activities. Research: Students will be able to conduct primary and secondary research and apply the results for informed decision-making. Strategic Approaches: Students will be able to think and plan strategically in making business decisions. Leadership: Students will be able to function effectively as a team and organizational leader. Academic Expectations Students accepted into the 3Year Honors Program have been identified as motivated, focused, and serious academic learners. Typically, their high school grade point average is between 3.4 and 3.5. Admission into the program requires students to dedicate themselves to the program and the university with the expectation that they will find multiple means of contributing and building the academic environment and university community; students in the program are encouraged to pursue leadership positions both in and out of the classroom. Once accepted into the program, students are expected to maintain a minimum 3.0 cumulative grade point average. Students who do not perform at this minimum standard will be identified by program administration and will be required to meet with their academic advisor. Students, with support from the academic advisor, will develop a performance plan of action so that they may best meet the academic challenges that they face. The University’s Implementation Strategies The university ensures the success of the 3Year Honors Program and the achievement of its mission by pursuing multiple academic and administrative strategies that include: Southern New Hampshire University 2013-2014 University College Undergraduate Catalog 232 ? establishing a managed, competency-based, cross-curricular, interdisciplinary educational environment that is designed to build competencies in the student’s major and in certain selected general education areas in a three-year period that equal or exceed in outcomes those which would occur in a traditional four-year program. ? integrating state-of-the-art computer and information technology into the learning process. ? using diverse delivery systems for learning. ? requiring students to take responsibility for and actively participate in their own educations. ? conducting an ongoing evaluation of the program and student progress at the end of each year so that competencies and the processes to achieve them are changed when needed and that the program continuously evolves and improves. ? implementing a learning-centered paradigm. ? creating flexible, purposeful, integrated interdisciplinary learning modules that are designed to develop certain competencies. ? employing faculty members who are committed to the mission and the achievement of the program’s competencies and supporting strategies. ? preparing and supporting faculty for the new paradigm. ? admitting to the program only those students who manifest the psychological, social and academic maturity and competence to succeed. This includes defining the acceptance criteria that maximizes the possibility of student success and minimizes the chance of failure. ? recording student achievements so students who transfer out of the program do so with three-credit modules that have generally recognizable and accepted course names and grades. ? educating students to lead lives of continual personal and professional learning. ? establishing and maintaining private sector business relationships to provide students with contacts and experiences that complement academic learning and enhance future employment opportunities. ? soliciting supplementary funding for student scholarships, faculty support and advanced computer information technology. Although the 3Year Honors Program will be taught in the time frame of the traditional semester, the course content will be delivered through comprehensive and often interdisciplinary modules instead of typical 3-credit classes. It is not a “rescheduling” or compression of our four-year program. Students are required to complete all specially designed modules in the 3Year Honors Program. During the first two years of the program each semester concludes with a week-long integrating experience that brings together competencies learned through the modules offered during that semester. Teams of four to five students spend a week working together, trying to find creative solutions for real-world business challenges. At the end of the integrating experience, each team will present their research and recommendations to professors, just as they would for supervisors, board members and shareholders in the business world. Students receive team-based grades and college credit for their efforts. Integrating experience helps students to see the relevance of their learning and serves as a vehicle for competency development. In the third year, students participate in a year-long applied management experience. Assigned into project teams, paired with local area businesses, they work to research and recommend creative and viable solutions to the issue and the team organization. While doing so they demonstrate the competencies they have mastered and apply knowledge gained through the program to the process. In addition to their classroom and client obligations, students are required to complete their career readiness program. The time and energy devoted to all aspects of this experience is equivalent to a 9 credit course and satisfies the HON 401 requirement in the University Honors Program. 2013-2014 University College Undergraduate Catalog Southern New Hampshire University 233 Note(s): All curriculum inquiries regarding the 3Year Honors Program should be forwarded to the Program Director, Ashley Liadis, at 603.644.3178 or at a.liadis@snhu.edu. Business Administration, B.B.A. The International Bachelors of Business Administration is a focused business degree. This program is designed for certain international universities with which SNHU has signed articulation agreements. It is intended for international students who are on track to complete a graduate level business degree. They have completed three years of a four year degree in their home country or a three year diploma and require some General Education courses and additional business courses to fulfill our equivalent undergraduate Business Administration degree prior to starting their graduate studies. The B.B.A. takes into consideration different educational systems around the world. It includes a balance of General Education and business electives in a broad variety of disciplines. In most foreign educational systems students take more credits in their major, so they are typically much more prepared in their subject than their US counterparts. Thus, having more free electives in business allows more flexibility for cooperating schools to direct students to take more specific course that will better fulfill their own final year requirements. A General Education capstone course assesses student understanding of core competencies. Many countries are actively encouraging their universities to promote and support students to have a study abroad experience. Students in this program may travel to the US to complete their final courses in a classroom setting or they may study online as a more affordable option. This program is intended to be transfer friendly by accepting 90 transfer credits as a block from approved universities. Requirements for Campus Program: 90 credits transferred from an approved university Equivalent GPA of 3.0 TOEFL score of 530/71 TOEFL score between 500/61 and 530/71, or 6.0 IELTS will be required to take a bridge program with ENG 070 and two academic courses.

OL 421 - Strategic Management and Policy Minimum Credits: 3 Total Credits: 121 or 123 Degree in Three, B.S. Director: Ashley Liadis The Degree in Three program is an innovative business program that allows students to earn a Bachelor of Science degree in three years (six semesters) through a blend of traditional and non-traditional curricula. Students are provided with varied academic experiences that not only include core courses but also non-seat time experiences outside of the classroom. This interdisciplinary approach merges business and liberal arts while allowing students to put theory into practice. Speaker events, workshops, seminars, community engagement experiences and team-based semester projects are just some of the unique learning opportunities afforded to students in the Degree in Three program. The program blends the same business core courses required of our four-year programs, coupled with unique out-of-classroom learning experiences. Students graduate in six semesters with 120-credits, however, 30 credits are completed through non-seat time experiences. Degree in Three students can major in Business Administration, Marketing or Sport Management. Degree in Three is designed so that each year builds on the one before it, creating a progressive path to learning and growing. What makes the program unique are all of the out-of-classroom opportunities that allow students to apply what they are learning in real-world settings. To provide a better understanding of what students can expect when not in class, here’s an overview of each year: ? Year 1 - Theme: Broad Integrative Knowledge o Students will attend on and off-campus events, lectures, workshops, performances, and art exhibits and write about those experiences in four graded assignments. ? Year 2 - Theme: Civic Engagement and Citizenship o Students move from spectator to participant as they become engaged in civic events and get involved with organizations. ? Year 3 - Theme: Problem Solving, Interpersonal and Team Membership Skills 2013-2014 University College Undergraduate Catalog Southern New Hampshire University 235 o As part of a project team, students investigate and analyze a real problem that a business or community faces, and create a solution. Students will also participate in industry-specific events, professional development workshops, and other outside learning experiences to prepare for life after graduation. During each semester of the program, students take part in school directed experiences referred to as “the huddle”. The huddle is a regularly scheduled meeting with Degree in Three classmates and a faculty facilitator to exchange ideas about the learning that takes place out of the classroom; it is the vehicle to discuss the various non-seat time experiences which in turn awards 2.5 credits per semester (15 credits total). The school directed experiences are as follows: SB 200, SB 210, SB 300, SB 310, SB 400 and SB 410. Additionally, the SNHU Experience (SNHU 101, SNHU 303 and SNHU 404) is integrated into the Degree in Three program through each semester of the huddle. Students receive 1 credit for SNHU 101 after completion of SB 200 and SB 210; 1 credit for SNHU 303 after completion of SB 300 and SB 310 and 1 credit for SNHU 404 after completion of SB 400 and SB 410. Each fall and spring semester, students will take five 3-credit courses, made up of business and general education core classes, as well as major-specific courses. Alongside the five traditional courses each semester and the huddle, students in the majors outlined below will complete the following 12 credits through non-seat time experiences: Business Administration Degree in Three with focus options, B.S. OL 211 OL 462A (1.5 credits) OL 462B (1.5 credits) OL 465 OL 468 Marketing Degree in Three, B.S. MKT 212 MKT 312 MKT 490 MKT 499 Sport Management Degree in Three, B.S.

Prerequisite(s): ENG 120 or ENG 120H Minimum Credits: 3 LIT 322 - Popular and Contemporary Fiction This course will analyze today's popular and contemporary fiction. What makes a book a "best seller?" What makes literature sell in the millions of copies? Writers who strike it rich generally write books that are fast paced and easy to read, following a set of conventions that readers recognize, and touch a nerve within their society. Writers who win the hearts of the literati and schoolmarms generally try to touch that nerve also, but they do so with language and plots that are inventive, artistic, and memorable. With a focus on current and past best sellers, this course will introduce you to a variety of literary sub-genres (true crime, memoir, road novel, extreme adventure, western, roots quest). The books we will read often return to themes of individualism, race, and violence in American culture- prominent elements in our psyches, popular culture, and pulp fiction- though we will certainly discuss other themes as well.

Prerequisite(s): ENG 120 or ENG 120H Minimum Credits: 3 LIT 328 - Multi-Ethnic Literature: Describing the Hyphen Since the beginnings of American literature, writers have been concerned with defining and creating American identity through their art. Since the 1960s, during and after the Civil Rights movement, numerous writers have defined their American identity in relation to specific ethnic identities, writing works that explore how dual or multiple cultural identities coexist within themselves and within American culture, sorting through the stories they've heard and created about who they are. In this course, we will read fiction, poetry, and essays by twentieth-century American authors who identify with African American, Native American, Asian American, Jewish, Latino and Chicano heritages.
