The publisher assumes no responsibility for editorial, clerical, or printing errors. The information presented is, at the time of printing, an accurate description of course offerings, policies, and requirements of Southern Adventist University. The provisions of this catalog, however, are not to be regarded as an irrevocable contract between the University and the student. The University reserves the right to change any provision or requirement at any time, without prior notice. Something to keep in mind — Although this CATALOG is not a textbook, you will refer to it often during your university career. It describes the academic program you select and the requirements you must fulfill to graduate. Before you enroll at Southern or register for any succeeding semester, you should satisfy yourself that you are familiar with this catalog. Two important parts of your academic life are General Education and your field of concentration. You will find it especially valuable to read carefully the sections of the catalog that explain these programs. Every attempt has been made to prepare this catalog so everyone may understand it, but some of the information may still be confusing to you. Also, because changes may occur in your program requirements, you may encounter contradictions between this catalog and advice that you later receive. Talk to someone about the sections of this catalog that are not clear. The first person to talk to is your academic adviser. You may also find help from the chair/dean of your department/school. It may be necessary to visit with the Director and Assistant Director of Records and Advisement. The Vice President for Academic Administration is also available to assist you. If you need explanations about financial questions, talk with the Director or Assistant Director of Student Finance. Remember that you are the one who selects your program of study and it is your responsibility to know the graduation requirements and meet them. Do not lose this catalog. It is your “university manual.” TABLE OF CONTENTS 3 ONTENTS C Academic Calendar .............................................................................................. 4 This Is Southern
