The goal of the staff and the purpose of this manual is to help you succeed during your educational journey to graduation. All Education Policies and Procedures are contained in this publication and are to be read in conjunction with the school catalog and the enrollment agreement. If You Need Help, Ask For It! We can’t help you with a problem if we are unaware that you have one. When in doubt, the first place to seek help is with an Advisor in the Education department or Full Sail Online Support (for online students with technical issues). If they don’t have your answer, they can direct you to someone who does. Academic Advisors can assist you in matters relating to academic progress and interaction with any staff member. Academic Advisors can assist with schedules and leaves of absence, act as contacts for parents, serve as sources of information, offer referrals for community resources, and address any questions regarding school policy. Academic Advisors are available from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. (EST), Monday through Friday, either by appointment or on an availability basis. Campus Students Academic Advisors are located on the main campus on the second floor of Building 2. Also, the Student Services staff is a great source of information day and night. The Student Services desks are staffed 24 hours a day and are located in the lobby of Full Sail Building 2, as well as the lobby of Building 3B. They will attempt to assist you with answering questions about your schedule, finding information about Full Sail, or leaving messages for instructors. Full Sail has a Housing Resources department to assist you with locating an apartment or a roommate; finding out about rental rates, furnishings, or house wares; and dealing with roommate issues. The Housing Resources department is located on the first floor of Full Sail Building 2. See the Student Services staff at the reception desk to access the Housing Resources department. Online Students Full Sail phones are answered 24 hours a day (except major holidays); the main phone number for the Education department is (407) 551-2024 or (800) 221-2747. All staff members have phone extensions with voice mail, so you may leave a message for them at any time. These messages will include an automatic time and date stamp. Most staff members also have email access. The receptionists in the Education department can assist you with contacting staff members, as well as provide the open office hours for instructional staff. Student Manual | Degree Requirements 2 Degree Requirements Completion of All Required Courses Each course must be successfully completed in regard to both academics and attendance/academic engagement. In addition, all undergraduate students must attain an overall grade point average of 2.0 by graduation in order to be eligible to receive their diploma. All graduate students must attain an overall grade point average of 3.0 by graduation. Good Standing During their attendance, students who have not satisfied all financial obligations may be removed from classes until they become current with payments due for tuition, institutional fees, and miscellaneous charges. Students who graduate with a balance will not be issued a diploma and/ or transcripts until they are in good standing with the school, having completed all education and financial requirements. Prior to graduation, federal financial aid recipients must also complete an exit interview to review the terms, conditions, and repayment options of any loans borrowed. Completion within Maximum Time Frame All degree students must complete their training within the maximum time frame (MTF) for their degree program. In order to stay within the maximum time frame, the credit hours attempted cannot exceed 1.5 times the credit hours required to complete the program. If a student fails to complete all required coursework within the maximum time frame, they will not be eligible to receive their diploma or certificate. For example: An associate’s degree that requires 60 credit hours would have an MTF of 90 credit hours attempted. A bachelor’s degree that requires 120 credit hours would have an MTF of 180 credit hours attempted. A master’s degree that requires 40 credit hours would have an MTF of 60 credit hours attempted. Student Awards Course Director’s Award The Course Director’s Award may be conferred on a per-class basis to one or two students who have demonstrated outstanding effort and good attitude in completion of course projects and is based upon the Course Director’s decision. Perfect Attendance Award The Perfect Attendance Award is presented to students who have completed a degree program without having missed a single lecture, lab, or seminar for any reason. Advanced Achievement Award The Advanced Achievement Award is given to only one student in each graduating class. The award recognizes outstanding achievement throughout the whole program, acknowledging such things as effort, dedication, energy, sacrifice, skill, and leadership. Full Sail recognizes that the Advanced Student Manual | Degree Requirements 3 Achievement Award is one of its most prestigious awards and is usually indicative of a student who is most likely to succeed. Valedictorian Upon graduation, the student with the highest GPA within his or her program will be named Valedictorian. Students who have received a Grade-Forgiveness must relinquish it in order to be considered for Valedictorian. Salutatorian Upon graduation, the student with the second-highest GPA within his or her program will be named Salutatorian. Credit for Previous Education Students with previous postsecondary education may request credit for previous education. Transfer Credit Those seeking transfer credit from another accredited postsecondary school while attending Full Sail University must submit a copy of their official transcripts to the Document Management team. To receive transfer credit, students must have successfully completed courses similar in scope and content to Full Sail University courses. In order to be considered for transfer credit, a copy of official college transcripts must be submitted within the first two weeks of attendance at Full Sail University. For classes that begin the first week in a degree program, a copy of official college transcripts must be received before classes begin. The right to receive transfer credit for a course is only granted for successful completion of prior education in subjects that have received a grade of C or better. Transfer credits are awarded based on courses already completed and recommendations to attend courses at other institutions cannot be provided. Acceptance of transfer credit may change a student’s eligibility for certain types of financial aid. All credits will be automatically applied to the end of the student’s academic program, unless specification not

  • Crop Progress - State Stories
    Crop Progress - State Stories ISSN: 2470-9816 Released March 31, 2020, by the National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS), Agricultural Statistics Board, United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). ALABAMA: Average temperatures ranged from 2.4 to 14.5 degrees warmer than historical values. Total rainfall for the month ranged from trace amounts of rain to 11.1 inches in Limestone County. According to the U.S. Drought Monitor, the State remained drought free throughout the month. Most of the State was affected by heavy rains throughout the month, delaying field preparations for many. In areas where rain slowed down later in the month, corn was planted, cotton and peanut fields had lime and fertilizer applied, and hay was being chemically burned for the new hay season. Herbicide and fertilizer applications for wheat were delayed due to excessive rain and flooding throughout the month. Some wheat fields were still under water, but starting to recover. The wheat crop was rated in fair to excellent condition, overall. Pastures were greening, but not fast enough for cattlemen that were at the end of their hay supplies and needing relief. However, cattle were still in good condition. Vegetable planting had begun and the strawberry crop was looking good. ALASKA: DATA NOT AVAILABLE ARIZONA: This report for Arizona is for the week ending Sunday, March 29, 2020. By the end of this week, 98 percent of Durum wheat has emerged, according to the Mountain Regional Field Office of the National Agricultural Statistics Service, USDA.

  • POLARIZED PROGRESS Social Acceptance of LGBT People in 141 Countries, 1981 to 2014
    POLARIZED PROGRESS Social Acceptance of LGBT People in 141 Countries, 1981 to 2014 Andrew R. Flores MARCH 2018 Andrew Park EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report describes the development of a lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) Global Acceptance Index (GAI), which seeks to measure the relative level of social acceptance of LGBT people and rights in each country at a specific time period. Understanding acceptance and rejection of LGBT people lies at the heart of understanding violence, discrimination, and the multitude of negative consequences arising from exclusion and unfair treatment. Sexual and gender minorities all over the world are heavily impacted by the attitudes and beliefs of those around them. Low levels of acceptance are tied to bullying and violence, physical and mental health problems, discrimination in employment, and underrepresentation in positions of civic leadership. Additionally, exclusion can result in lower levels of workforce productivity and decreased business profits. Development of the LGBT Global Acceptance Index. Using an advanced statistical model, the authors developed the LGBT Global Acceptance Index (GAI) to measure acceptance in each country. Acceptance is the extent to which LGBT people are seen in ways that are positive and inclusive, both with respect to an individual’s opinions about LGBT people and with regard to an individual’s position on LGBT policy. KEY FINDINGS Globally, the average level of acceptance has increased since 1980. • 80 of 141 countries experienced increases in acceptance since 1980. • 46 countries experienced a decline. • 15 countries experienced no change. In the past decade, the range of levels of acceptance has increased. Levels of acceptance have become more polarized: • The most accepting countries have experienced increased levels of acceptance.
